Welcome to 411’s WWE Smackdown Report 2.28.14

Match times are not exact.

Batista makes his way out to the ring to tell the WWE Universe what he thinks of them. It’s the Animal Unchained. We see clips from Monday, where Orton distracted Batista and Del Rio scored the win over the top contender. Batista says that he will start by stating that he loves the business and this company. He also says that he did not come back to be liked. He didn’t come back to please all of the fans, he only came back to be the world champion. You don’t have to support him, but you have to accept it. He can destroy anyone put in front of him, fact. He is the best representative of the company, better than Hogan and the Rock. He wants to know what happened to the business, to all the men and to the attitude. This place is full of 195 pound wanna bes, and you chant yes, yes, yes, but they will never be him and that is the truth so deal with it. Do you think that your heroes are as good as him? He takes off his shirt and says everything about him screams WWE champion. He gets it, he can sympathize, they look at the heroes and think they look like them and if they can be champion, so can they. So go back to hot topic and get out of his world. He will systematically destroy all of their heroes on his way to Mania to become the WWE Champion.

He poses for the crowd, and Dolph Ziggler makes his way out. Ziggler says that he knows Dave has been away for a long time, but you do not tell the people who to cheer for or to support, they do what they want. Ziggler calls him a dinosaur. And sooner or later, they become extinct. Your looking for the real men, well there is one right here jack. Ziggler wants a match with him tonight. Batista laughs that off, and grabs the mic and says he got it. Ziggler then dropkicks him and bails. Batista is pissed.

The sound levels are all over the place, which is very annoying.

Ziggler vs. Batista is set for later tonight.

Highlights from Raw, featuring the Cena vs. Wyatts confrontation.

The Wyatts make their way out to the ring, and according to Cole, they have a message for John Cena. Bray says everything you think you know is all based upon lies. Men wake up and go to work, break you backs all in order to earn some cash. Why? In order to buy suits and spots cars to impress the women. Ladies, you wake up and look at yourselves in the mirror and coat makeup on your faces. You’re wearing a mask that society makes you feel you need. It is all a pit of lies. They plaster your hopes and dreams on billboards, and who is on that billboard? The man behind the plastic smile, who tells you what you need to hear, and who plays the hero. What a wonderful world indeed. And society vilifies him, because he does what he does and says wheat he says even though they do not want him to. He will slay this dragon, and stand over his body and whisper “John Cena, it’s time to end this lie”. Follow the buzzards.

The Shield’s music hits and shit just got real. They hit the apron and stare down with the Wyatts, and then Triple H’s music hits. He says that is enough because this will not happen now, because he has too much time and money in all six of them for this to happen tonight, at least without some promotion. On Monday the war can resume in a rematch from the Elimination Chamber PPV. Shield, stand down. The Wyatts exit the ring, and Bray says, “you heard your daddy”. Reigns enters the ring and so does the rest of the Shield. Reigns and Bray go face to face as Rollins and Ambrose dive out onto Harper and Rowan. They return to the ring and Bray wisely backs off.
