The Rabobank Arena got smacked down when World Wrestling Entertainment came to Bakersfield on Feb. 8.

The sold-out show featured all of the top superstars of the Smackdown brand of wrestling.

Brent Arnold, a spectator, said, “I am so excited to see Smackdown. They rarely come here to Bakersfield.”

Edge, The Big Show, Triple H, The Undertaker and many more superstars were on hand to bring all the excitement.

“I’m here to see the Undertaker, and I am so thrilled to see him before he retires,” said Cassandra Renolds, a fan.

Every champion on the Smackdown brand defended their titles. The fans were loud and raucous when their favorite superstar appeared. Every champion retained their title, but all of the matches were fast paced, and no one knew who would win.

Two lucky fans were upgraded to the front row when they answered a wrestling question correctly. They both got to meet divas Bre and Nicky Bella, also known as the Bella Twins.

“My grandson was so excited when he got to meet the Bella twins. He has been a WWE fan for so long,” said Nancy Gregory, grandmother of one of the winners.

“The performers who put on this show did a great job entertaining the fans. I can’t wait for them to return to Bakersfield,” said Shawn Stetz, a WWE fan. The best matches of the night were WWE champion Edge versus Jeff Hardy for the WWE title. The other was the main event Triple H and The Undertaker versus Vladimir Kozlov and The Big Show in a tag- team match.

Many of the interviewed spectators and fans agreed that World Wrestling Entertainment brought all of the excitement and fast-paced action to Bakersfield fans.
