Big Show came out to cut a promo about working hard to get the World Title back. When he mentioned Daniel Bryan, it was met with a mixed reaction. They cut to a clip from Raw of Josh Mathews asking him if he was mad about losing the title, to which Show said he was proud. Mark Henry came out to boos and cut a promo on how Show should be mad and quit wrestling. Henry demanded his re-match right before Daniel Bryan came out. He said he wasn't big or strong, but he is the champion. Show and Henry argued over who got a re-match and Teddy Long came out to announce they would fight tonight to determine the number one contender.
(1) U.S. champion Zack Ryder beat IC champion Cody Rhodes via the Rough Ryder after Booker T distracted Cody by singing Cody the Red Nosed Reindeer. The crowd was behind Zack, and also firmly behind Booker. The match started somewhat cold and ended really hot.

Orton eventually beat Barrett down enough to end the segment.
Primo and Epico then came to the ring and, after an extended dance from Rosa, so did Air Boom.
(3) WWE tag champion Kofi Kingston (w/Evan Bourne) beat Primo (w/Epico and Rosa Mendes). The crowd was really into this match and even started a "Primo Sucks" chant. It was a fun match between the two high-flyers. Kofi won with Trouble in Paradise and celebrated in the ring with Bourne.
(4) World Hvt. champion Daniel Bryan vs. Dolph Ziggler (w/Vickie Guerrero) went to a No Contest. D-Bry and the Zig-Zag Man put on a great show with some great spots. They really are the future of the business. Jack Swagger came out during the match and leveled Bryan while Vickie distracted the ref. After that, Big Show came out to cheer on Bryan and make sure Swagger was under control. Bryan and Ziggler were stellar in the match, and the crowd went along for the ride.

- Cole comes out to boos carrying three Slammys. Lilian Garcia comes out to a nice reaction.
- Josh Mathews opens the show by interviewing Booker T. They show a video package on his feud with Cody Rhodes. Booker T is ready to face Cody this Sunday. He didn't want a fight with Cody, he was happy in the booth with Josh. To hell with Cole. This is about Cody trying to make a name for himself and legitimize himself. But, he won't do it against the 5-time WCW champion and soon-to-be IC Champion. Mathews asks if he wins the IC title, is he back to wrestling full-time. Booker hasn't thought that far.
Cody interrupts. Booker is spinning good fiction and fantasy, he says. In the movies, he'd win, but this is reality and Cody will win. Booker says how about the reality of him kicking his ass. Cody says Booker always has something to say, but he's interfered in two of his matches with Daniel Bryan, so he got Teddy Long to give him a third one. If Booker interferes again, the match on Sunday won't be for the IC Title and he'll file a motion to have Booker suspended. Now get out of the ring while Cody shows just how legitimate he is, sucka!
(1) IC champion Cody Rhodes beat Daniel Bryan in a non-title match. The match starts slow, but builds. Good heel reaction for Cody. Mild reaction for Bryan. Bryan with a second rope dropkick. Cody goes upstairs, but gets caught. But, he counters a side suplex into a cross-body. A series of roll-ups and reversals ends with Cody hitting Cross Rhodes for the win.
(2) Alicia Fox beat Natalya. Natalya comes to the ring with a box of tissue. Fox wins with an inside cradle after the typically short Divas match. Fox grabbed one of Nattie's hair extensions, so she took the mic and said Nattie is so synthetic she's pathetic and she just got out-foxed. Nattie comes in for more, but Fox turns the tables, hits her finisher, and covers Nattie for the pin, even though she already got the pin. Nattie is pissed.
- Swagger and Vickie are backstage. Mark Henry asks Swagger to hurt Big Show like Big Show hurt him. If he does, he's first in line for the World Heavyweight Title. Swagger says he will hurt Big Show, but not for Mark, for him. He's beaten Big Show before, unlike Mark, and his future is World Heavyweight champion.
(3) Epico & Primo (w/Rosa Mendes) beat The Usos.
(4) Big Show beat Jack Swagger (w/Vickie Guerrero). Big Show comes out to a big pop. As soon as Swagger gets into the ring, Mark Henry comes out with a chair and sits at the bottom of the ramp. Big Show with some knife-edge chops that obviously get a big reaction in Flair Country. Two Swagger Bombs, but Show kicks out. Swagger counters a chokeslam into an anklelock. Show eventually powers out and hits WMD for the win. After the match, he throws Swagger out of the ring at Henry's feet. Henry hits Swagger with the chair he was sitting on. Then, Henry gives a cameraman a chair shot(!). He exits while Big Show calls for medical attention for the cameraman.
(5) Heath Slater beat Ted DiBiase. DiBiase wins with Dream Street. After the match, Jinder Mahal comes "from out of nowhere" and attacks DiBiase. Teddy Long comes out and says if Jinder wants a fight he'll give him one against someone he has unfinished business with from Monday. Sheamus comes out to a huge pop. They replay the incident between the two on Monday's Raw. Then, the match starts.
(6) Sheamus beat Jinder Mahal. Sheamus wins with a brogue kick. Sheamus was way over with the crowd.
(7) Randy Orton & Zack Ryder beat U.S. champion Dolph Ziggler & Wade Barrett. Decent tag match with Orton and Ryder alternating as babyfaces in peril. Eventually, Barrett and Ryder brawl outside, and Orton hits an RKO on Ziggler for the win.
After the match, Barrett stands on a table on the ramp and stares down Orton in the ring.

**SPOILERS** WWE SmackDown! Results For Friday 28th October 2011
Teddy Long was in the ring to start. He claimed the future of the World Title would be determined tonight. Christian interrupted and claimed he will fill the void. He promoted his "One More Match" campaign and claimed to be the leader of Smackdown. C.M. Punk interrupted and Long noted he arranged for Raw stars to be part of Super Smackdown tonight. Punk and Christian went back-and-forth, including a bit that went over well live where Punk shouted "bitching" every time Christian tried to raise the mic to his mouth to complain. After some more arguing, Long booked a singles match between them in the main event.
(1) The Miz & R-Truth beat WWE tag champs Air Boom (Kofi Kingston & Evan Bourne) in a non-title match at 5:43. Truth scored the pin on Kofi following their double team finisher.
Afterward, Miz and Truth cut a promo that they will take out Cena unless the one man who hates him more than they do, The Rock, does it first. Basic planting seeds of dissension before Survivor Series.
After a DVD plug for Bret vs. Shawn, WWE cut backstage to the locker room where a group of mid-carders were assembled. Justin Gabriel noted to Daniel Bryan that he (Bryan) was trained by Shawn Michaels. Tyson Kidd interrupted and argued with Bryan over who was better - Shawn or Bret. Santino decided they should settle it in the ring tonight. Kidd said that "clown" has a good idea and the match was set.
(2) Wade Barrett beat Trent Barreta at 2:30. Trent kept it close for a few innings, but Barrett easily finished him off with Wasteland.
(3) Randy Orton beat U.S. champion Dolph Ziggler (w/Vickie Guerrero) at 12:28 in a non-title match. No pre-match "Excuse Me" from Vickie, with focus on Ziggler. Before the match started, IC champ Cody Rhodes came out for commentary, so perhaps WWE sets up something with Rhodes and Booker T. After a teased RKO and a teased Zig-Zag, Orton hit the RKO for the win. Rhodes simply stood up and threw down his headset before leaving. Orton and Rhodes stated each other down, indicating the feud is continuing. Very strong TV match with good heat.
Backstage, Striker brought in an unmasked fake Sin Cara. He was dressed like a member of Mexican America. Hunico cut a promo about being disrespected by Sin Cara and closed in Spanish.
(4) Daniel Bryan beat Tyson Kidd via submission at 2:44. Yes, less than three minutes for "Bret vs. Shawn." The finish was Bryan turning the Sharpshooter into the LeBell Lock for the tap out.
Michael Cole stood up at the announce table and re-did the Michael Cole Challenge complete with JR photoshopped pics from Raw. He announced Ross has accepted the challenge for Raw, with rules to be revealed on Monday.
Big Show, in a suit, was out next to address the World Title situation. Show put over the fight Mark Henry brought to him at Vengeance and noted Long has assured him of a title re-match in the near future. Cue up Henry for the interruption. Henry said he handled his business at the PPV, so he's done with Show. Henry talked more trash and Show told him to come fight. After Show ripped off his jacket, Henry teased the ring, but backed out when he sold a back injury, which drew boos. A stare down to conclude the bit.
(5) C.M. Punk beat Christian at 10:50. Lots of shenanigans here. Del Rio and Ricardo interrupted halfway through when Punk had Christian set up for the G2S. After Del Rio interfered, Sheamus came out to distract Christian. That led to Punk hitting the G2S for the win. Punk did a victory lap and apparently that was it for Smackdown despite no resolution to the World Title situation advertised by Long.
(1) The Miz & R-Truth beat WWE tag champs Air Boom (Kofi Kingston & Evan Bourne) in a non-title match at 5:43. Truth scored the pin on Kofi following their double team finisher.
Afterward, Miz and Truth cut a promo that they will take out Cena unless the one man who hates him more than they do, The Rock, does it first. Basic planting seeds of dissension before Survivor Series.

Orton and Rhodes stated each other down, indicating the feud is continuing. Very strong TV match with good heat.
Backstage, Striker brought in an unmasked fake Sin Cara. He was dressed like a member of Mexican America. Hunico cut a promo about being disrespected by Sin Cara and closed in Spanish.
(4) Daniel Bryan beat Tyson Kidd via submission at 2:44. Yes, less than three minutes for "Bret vs. Shawn." The finish was Bryan turning the Sharpshooter into the LeBell Lock for the tap out.
Michael Cole stood up at the announce table and re-did the Michael Cole Challenge complete with JR photoshopped pics from Raw. He announced Ross has accepted the challenge for Raw, with rules to be revealed on Monday.
Big Show, in a suit, was out next to address the World Title situation. Show put over the fight Mark Henry brought to him at Vengeance and noted Long has assured him of a title re-match in the near future. Cue up Henry for the interruption. Henry said he handled his business at the PPV, so he's done with Show. Henry talked more trash and Show told him to come fight. After Show ripped off his jacket, Henry teased the ring, but backed out when he sold a back injury, which drew boos. A stare down to conclude the bit.
(5) C.M. Punk beat Christian at 10:50. Lots of shenanigans here. Del Rio and Ricardo interrupted halfway through when Punk had Christian set up for the G2S. After Del Rio interfered, Sheamus came out to distract Christian. That led to Punk hitting the G2S for the win. Punk did a victory lap and apparently that was it for Smackdown despite no resolution to the World Title situation advertised by Long.

**SPOILERS** WWE SmackDown! Results For Friday 5th August 2011
Smackdown SPOILERS 8/5
Smackdown started right away with Sheamus vs. Great Khali and an announcement of Sheamus vs. Mark Henry at Summerslam.
(1) Sheamus beat Great Khali. Khali dominated the early portion of the match, and Sheamus eventually won with the Brogue Kick. Not as bad as you'd think.
(2) Natalya beat A.J. via submission with the Sharpshooter. Natalya then turned heel with a post-match attack on A.J. ringside. She said "Beth Phoenix, I'm with you. The days of cute Divas are over."
Ryder with a State of the Showski address to come later.
(3) Daniel Bryan beat Tyson Kidd via submission. Wade Barrett was on commentary. Kidd put Bryan in the Sharpshooter, but Bryan caused a rope break, then caused Kidd to submit.
Ryder came out to address the crowd, and Ezekiel Jackson came out to question Ryder about the handicap match last week. Rhodes and DiBiase came out. Ryder tried to book Jackson vs. DiBiase, but Teddy Long came out and said to Ryder, "You are not asst. general manager. You are my assistant. Instead of making a match, you are in one vs. Jackson with Cody and DiBiase banned from ringside."
(4) Intercontinental champion Ezekiel Jackson beat Zack Ryder in a non-title match. Four-minute match.
Backstage, Teddy Long was seduced by NXT 3's Aksana, now with dark hair.
During a commercial, Triple H came out to relieve some stress by Pedigreeing Zack Ryder. It's not clear how much, if any, of the exchange between Ryder and Hunter will end up on Smackdown, as he told the cameras to stop rolling about halfway through his promo.
(5) Mark Henry squashed Vladimir Kozlov. Afterward, he crushed Kozlov's leg, but Sheamus came out to prevent further punishment.
Backstage, Sheamus cut a promo on Mark Henry ahead of their Summerslam match.
(6) WWE tag champions New Nexus (Michael McGillicutty & David Otunga) & JTG beat The Usos and Trent Barreta in a six-man tag match. Quick match.
Johnny Curtis debuts on Smackdown...next week! The "writing is on the wall," he said.
World Hvt. champion Christian was interviewed about Randy Orton when R-Truth came in to talk about conspiracies. When Orton came out next, it was the first time the crowd really woke up. They were sitting on their hands mainly the rest of the night.
(7) World Hvt. champion Christian & R-Truth beat Randy Orton & John Morrison when Christian pinned Orton. Decent main event.
Post-taping Dark Match: World Hvt. champion Christian beat Randy Orton in a Street Fight to retain the World Title. The usual post-show finish with Cody and Ted distracting Orton to give Christian the win via spear. The match lasted a good ten minutes.
To close out the show, Randy eventually hit the RKO on the heels. Orton stayed out to his music for a good 10-15 minutes for whoever wanted his autograph around ringside. The whole crowd got a load of Twix bars handed out after the event.

**SPOILERS** WWE SmackDown! Results For Friday 29th July 2011
Smackdown SPOILERS for July 29
Triple H came out to address the World Title situation, but was interrupted by Christian. Hunter isn't fond of being interrupted, and he put him in a re-match against Orton in a No DQ match at Summerslam. R-Truth then came out to continue their "chat" from Raw, but was put in a match later against Orton. Christian then got put in a match against John Morrison...next!
Backstage, Zack Ryder confronted both Hunter and Teddy Long. Zack was such an irritant that Hunter made him Teddy Long's personal assistant.
(1) World Hvt. champion Christian beat John Morrison via Killswitch in a non-title match. Pretty good match, despite some sloppy parts. It was surprising Morrison would lose clean, though.
Wade Barrett came out to call Daniel Bryan overhyped, over-rated, etc. Bryan interrupted and, after an altercation, made Barrett tap out.
Zack Ryder volunteered to find an opponent to face Mark Henry tonight.
(2) Alicia Fox & Rosa Mendes & Tamina beat Kaitlin & A.J. & Natalya in a six-Divas tag match. Really botchy match that ended with Fox botching her finisher on A.J.
(3) Mark Henry beat Bobby Howard, a scrawny jobber. Typical squash match. The jobber was especially hilarious.
Afterwards, Henry tried to attack Howard with the chair, but Long stopped him. Sheamus then came out to a good face reaction and said that he would take on Henry. Sheamus got the better of an exchange between them. So... he's face now?
(4) New Nexus beat the Usos to retain the Tag Titles. Short and unsatisfying match.
Backstage, Zack was on his phone and suggested a handicap match for later tonight with the IC champ Jackson and Rhodes & DiBiase.
Backstage, Johnny Curtis announced his debut for next week, then the Raw Rebound aired. After, R-Truth cut a promo on Orton.
(5) Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase beat IC champion Ezekiel Jackson in a handicap match when Rhodes pinned Jackson. Average match.
Afterwards, Jinder Mahal cut a promo (not in English) at the top of the arena.
(6) R-Truth beat Randy Orton via DQ. Truth set Randy into IED mode with a water bottle attack. Average match. Afterwards, Randy RKOed Truth twice on the table to close the show.
Overall, the show was pretty decent. After the Smackdown taping ended...
Bonus Match: World Hvt. champion Christian beat Randy Orton via roll-up in a Street Fight to retain the World Title when DiBiase and Rhodes interfered. Average match with only a Singapore cane involved. Rhodes and DiBiase beat on Orton afterward, but Orton came back and gave the former Legacy members and Christian RKO's. He shook hands with everyone to close the show.

**SPOILERS** WWE SmackDown! Results For Friday 22nd July 2011
-- They showed the crowd the end of Orton vs. Christian at the MITB PPV. Orton then sat mid-ring with no pyro or music. He talked about there being no WWE champion and Triple H taking over before shifting Christian. "Trust me, you do not want me to go find you," he said.
Christian came out and Orton told him as long as he's still breathing, they have unfinished business. Christian told him he can't control his temper. Christian said they all knew the rules and Orton said he spit in his face. Christian said it was an accident, said he's a two-time champion, and called the fans losers. Orton yelled he wants his re-match tonight. Christian said they don't go on trees and he will consult his lawyers.

(1) World Hvt. champion Christian pinned Intercontinental champion Ezekiel Jackson after ramming him into the ringpost from within the ring and hitting the Killswitch. It went about 12 minutes. It didn't feel like World champ vs. IC champ and wasn't presented as anything special.
-- Michael Cole interviewed Daniel Bryan to start the taping. Bryan said Cole's opinion means nothing to him. Cole said he may win the title, but he doesn't deserve it. Bryan said Cole didn't deserve a marquee match at WrestleMania. Bryan listed his injuries over the last 12 years and talked with passion about earning that briefcase. He said he will not blindside the champion and he announced ahead-of-time he's cashing in at WrestleMania.
(2) Daniel Bryan beat Heath Slater via submission. Before the match, Slater called Bryan a loser. Long match. Bryan got the tapout win. Good, but not great action.

(3) Sheamus vs. Wade Barrett went to a double count-out. Sheamus was played up as a face afterward and the crowd cheered him.
(4) Randy Orton beat Kane in a Street Fight. The crowd was split with lots of Kane chants. They kicked out of each other's finishers. Kane came back with chairshots. Orton escaped a chokeslam and hit the RKO for the win. Kane and Orton shook hands afterward.
