Booker T opened the show talking about 2011, but was interrupted by Cody Rhodes. He called Booker washed up, and was then confronted by Goldust.

**SPOILERS** WWE SmackDown! Results For Friday 23rd December 2011
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.
After the match, Santino was in Teddy Long's office applying to be Assistant to the GM. Aksana interrupted, then Vickie Guerrero and Dolph Ziggler came in. Dolph asked for a match with Daniel Bryan, and, of course, Teddy obliged.
Big Show vs Henry was next, but David Otunga came out and said the match couldn't happen because Henry wasn't cleared to wrestle. Big Show then hit Otunga with the WMD to end the segment. Coffee spilled all over the canvas from Otunga's coffee mug.
Teddy Long was shown walking when The Miz showed up to ask what he was doing tonight. He also bragged about how many PPV main events he'd been in. He told Teddy he would interrupt the show and wait in the ring until Teddy found someone for him to wrestle.
The Miz then came to the ring and stood there. He threw to clips of him beating up R-Truth and John Morrison. After taunting the locker room, Sheamus came out to wrestle him to a big pop.
(2) Sheamus beat The Miz. Sheamus won with a Brogue Kick after Miz broke out of a High Cross.
Wade Barrett then came out to to heavy boos and cut a promo about the Barrett Barrage and his victories over Randy Orton, not mentioning the loss at TLC. After he wished the crowd a "happy Christmas," he left the ring and Orton came out to attack him. They didn't fight in the ring, but opted for a backstage brawl. 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. After a few minutes, Show and Swagger ended up in the ring, with Show almost chokeslamming Swagger. Teddy Long then came out and turned it into a tag match.
(5) World Hvt. champion Daniel Bryan & Big Show beat Dolph Ziggler & Jack Swagger (w/Vickie Guerrero). Swagger and Show started off the tag match and the crowd was pretty excited to see Show wrestle. Swagger put Bryan in the anklelock, which he reversed into the LeBell Lock for the win. That ended the Smackdown taping.
***
For the live audience, The Miz came out and demanded another Superstar to face. Randy Orton came out to answer The Miz's challenge, with Booker T as the special referee. Orton got by far the biggest pop of the night.
Dark Match: Randy Orton beat The Miz with Booker T as special referee. The crowd was into the match, chanting Randy's name throughout. Then, Cody Rhodes came out to attack Booker, Ziggler came out to attack Orton, and Ryder came out to even the field and attack Miz. Booker, Ryder, and Orton all hit their finishers on Rhodes to send the crowd home happy. But, Booker T called for one last treat: a Spinaroonie, a Ryderroonie, and an RKOaroonie. Orton sold embarrassment, but the crowd went nuts when he hit the RKOaroonie.
Overall, it was another quality Smackdown and another crowd pleasing WWE event.

**SPOILERS** WWE SmackDown! Results For Friday 16th December 2011
- 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.
