WWE Smackdown Live results and observations (4/4/17): Shinsuke Nakamura is on the blue team

Smackdown Live marked the end of a long list of events during WrestleMania weekend, and what an eventful weekend it was.

It was a pretty eventful edition of Smackdown Live, too, as it was the fourth time in five days that WWE held an event at the Amway Center in Orlando, Fla.

The fans were not as rambunctious for Smackdown Live as they were for Raw the night before, but that did not prevent WWE from providing a couple of surprises that had the fans buzzing.

Before I get into all of the happenings from Tuesday night, here are the full match results:

- WWE Smackdown Women's championship – Naomi vs. Alexa Bliss

- Tye Dillinger def. Curt Hawkins

- Street fight – Baron Corbin def. Dean Ambrose

- Randy Orton & Luke Harper vs. The Wyatt Family

Wyatt-Orton storyline stumbles along

The feud between Wyatt and Orton has seen its ups and downs since it began last year, but I thought WrestleMania was easily its lowest point.

The match left plenty to be desired and featured more projection shots of insects than memorable moments.

I figured that if the feud continued past WrestleMania, it had nowhere to go but up.

I think I may be wrong.

Firstly, the heat seems to be all but gone from this feud. It almost feels weird that it is essentially the top story on Smackdown Live since it is for the brand's top championship.

It feels even weirder when Smackdown Live had a hot program between the brand's power couples and a match that stole the show at WrestleMania between AJ Styles and Shane McMahon.

But alas, we have Orton versus Wyatt as the brand's de-facto top story.

To no one's real surprise, Rowan returned to television during the opening segment and realigned himself with Wyatt. Harper jumped into the fray to help Orton and the four men settled their differences in a tag team match that ended rather strangely.

But what raised my eyebrows more than anything else was Wyatt challenging Orton to a House of Horrors match. I am not even joking. Wyatt and Orton going to face each other in a House of Horrors match.

What is a House of Horrors match? Who the hell cares? It just sounds awful. It sounds like something a 10-year-old kid would be afraid to enter at a carnival, and the guy that runs the particular exhibit reeks of cigarettes and cheap tequila.

It sounds like something Dusty Rhodes would have come up with for an early 1990s edition of World Championship Wrestling's Halloween Havoc. Even the legendary Rhodes was capable of coming up with a bad idea or two.

This sounds like something tailor-made for the Dungeon of Doom. If we get an appearance from Kevin Sullivan, I might faint. Heck, Big Show is still employed by WWE. He might be interested in reprising his role in the Dungeon of Doom. He's got nothing else to do since Shaquille O'Neal backed out of their WrestleMania match.

All jokes aside, the House of Horrors match may very well turn out to be WWE's finest all year, but judging by what we have seen thus far between Orton and Wyatt, I do not have my hopes up.

Nakamura is on the blue team

My hopes were way up when violinist Lee England Jr. walked out on stage during Smackdown Live, as it meant that it was time for the main-roster debut of Shinsuke Nakamura.

As expected, the fans in Orlando gave Nakamura a hero's welcome. Nakamura's spectacular entrance interrupted another episode of The Miz and Maryse mocking John Cena and Nikki Bella, which they did a terrific job of yet again.

However, when Nakamura showed up, The Miz and Maryse quickly left the ring and left the former NXT and IWGP champion alone in the ring to soak in the moment.

Obviously, this is a big coup for Smackdown Live. After Raw saw the return of Finn Balor and acquired the Hardy Boyz and The Revival, Smackdown Live needed something to make it look like it was keeping up with its red counterpart.

Nakamura being Smackdown Live's major acquisition makes perfect sense to me.

Being on Smackdown Live means that Nakamura will almost certainly be slotted in a top position. Since Smackdown Live is only two hours, it also means that he may not be on television every week, which I believe is a good thing.

The last thing I think should happen with someone like Nakamura is for him to be overexposed, which happens to virtually everyone on WWE's roster no matter the brand.

There are some that can go on television every week and keep the fans engaged, and maybe Nakamura is one of them, but I think there will be an adjustment period for fans that are unfamiliar with his work, as it could take some getting used to for some people.

Also, if The Miz is Nakamura's first opponent on the main roster, I think that is a fantastic idea.

The Miz is worth his salt in the ring so match quality should not be an issue. Plus, The Miz is one of the best talkers WWE has, meaning that Nakamura will not have to do that much of it.

AJ Styles wants to stay on Smackdown Live

The only problem with someone like Nakamura being called up to Smackdown Live is that he may not be there for very long because of the "Superstar Shakeup" WWE is doing next week.

It is still unclear exactly what that is, but one thing is for certain, and that is wrestlers will be switching brands. How many will switch and in what manner still hasn't been confirmed.

Smackdown Live may have landed a big star in Nakamura, but the higher ups may send him over to Raw by next week.

One person that made it clear where he wanted to be was Styles, and he told Smackdown Live commissioner Shane McMahon as much Tuesday night.

Styles said that he wanted to stay on Smackdown Live because it was the house that he built and that he does not want anyone to take that away from him.

Styles and McMahon then shook hands in a sign of mutual respect.

I wouldn't mind Styles staying on Smackdown Live, but this looked like it all but confirmed that he was moving to Raw come next week.

Styles has been arguably WWE's most valuable player since the brand extension and WWE is not going to let someone as talented as Styles is play for the blue team for very long.

Eventually, the company is going to want him on the flagship program. It happened with Cena once upon a time and I could see it happening with Styles, too.

Naomi, Bliss had a heck of a match

One person that should not be moving brands is Naomi, as she defended her Smackdown Women's title in a very good match with Bliss Tuesday night.

Since the title Naomi is holding carry's the brand's namesake on it, I don't expect her to be switched over to Raw. Stranger things have happened, I guess.

As for Bliss, I think it could happen. Both women's divisions are in need of some new blood, but Raw is in much more dire need of it than Smackdown Live due to the three-hour format forcing Raw to burn through all of its match combinations.

As for the match Tuesday, it was very good. I think it was probably the best match either has had since the brand extension.

Corbin still pursuing the Intercontinental championship

After failing to take the Intercontinental championship from Ambrose at WrestleMania, Corbin defeated the champion in a street fight on Smackdown Live.

After the match, Corbin tweeted out that he was still coming for Ambrose's Intercontinental title. I suppose that Corbin's win Tuesday would put him line for another title match.

I was surprised to see that Corbin came up short at WrestleMania, but if Corbin's win Tuesday leads to him getting another shot at the title and winning it, I wouldn't be oppose to it.

Quite frankly, Corbin needs the title. It would add credibility to his character and back up all of the trash he talks in his promos. On the flip side, Ambrose does not need it. To be honest, the title doesn't need him either.

Smackdown Live has a Perfect 10

It has been a long, long, long time coming, but Tye Dillinger was finally promoted to the main roster when he showed up on Smackdown Live Tuesday.

He capped off his long awaited debut by defeating Hawkins, who had been in WWE's developmental system, called up to the main roster, fired and then re-hired all in the span that Dillinger had been waiting for Tuesday night.

As expected, the fans were more than happy to see Dillinger finally receive the promotion and you could tell that he was, too.

If it seemed like a long time to us, think about how long it must have felt for Dillinger to live through. He started in WWE's developmental back in 2006, was fired in 2009, re-hired in 2013 and still had to wait for more years before he was finally a full-time member of the main roster.

Think about all of the training sessions, all of the times he had to set up and break down the ring, and all of the people he saw leapfrog him to the main roster.

It was probably tough at times for, but I'm sure that was all washed away when he stepped out from behind that curtain Tuesday night.
