Miz and John Morrison defeat Heavy Machinery: Smackdown March 20

Result: Miz and John Morrison defeat Heavy Machinery

Match: Miz and Otis begin the match. As Miz attempted to do a side headlock takeover, Otis blocked and slammed him to the mat. Miz tagged into Morrison who attempted to punch and kick Otis. The strikes had no effect on Otis. Heavy Machinery hit a pass off delayed vertical suplex. Tucker then hit a big hip toss on Miz and Otis him with a shoulder tackle.

Morrison shouted “they’re bigger than we thought, but not smarter.” Heavy Machinery began hitting a number of tandem maneuvers culminating with Tucker hitting a somersault senton from the apron to the floor. As Tucker attempted to hit the ropes, Morrison pulled the top rope down for a low bridge. This shifted the advantage back to Miz and Morrison who isolated Tucker for the next part of the match.

Just as Tucker was about to make a tag to Otis, Dolph Ziggler’s music hit and The Miz and Morrison attacked Otis to prevent the tag. Dolph Ziggler joined Michael Cole on commentary as Smackdown went to a commercial break.

Back from the break, Miz and Morrison continued to have the advantage over Tucker. When Miz and Morrison went for a double suplex, Tucker managed to reverse it and get the tag to Otis. After Otis sandwiched both men in the corner, he went for the caterpillar when Dolph Ziggler got on the microphone. Doplph put pictures off him and Mandy on the screen. Otis lost it, and he went after Dolph. Ziggler managed to get away, but Miz and Morrison felt the wrath of Otis. Unable to help himself, Otis went after Miz and Morrison with a steel chair. This caused a disqualification.

This craziness set up a big match for Otis at WrestleMania. Whether that is a match for the tag team championship or a match with Dolph Ziggler is to be determined.
