WWE smackdown recap
Promo
We start the show with Randy Orton. He tells us his name is Randy Orton and he is still world champion. The crowd cheer. He goes to speak again and Christian’s music hits. He comes down to the ring with a microphone.
Christian says he hates to spoil Orton’s moment , He congratulates Orton. He says at Over the limit it could have gone either way. He wants another title shot at Orton. Sheamus’s Music hits and he comes out with a microphone.
Sheamus says Christian is like a gambling addict always betting more and more but always loosing. He says he deserves a title shot against Randy orton as he’s the star of the show. Mark Henry comes out.
Mark Henry has a microphone, So far he delivers my favourite line of the night “Christian your buddy edge is on a retirement golf course right now, waiting on you. Don’t miss your tee time , go ahead.” I’m sorry that had me laughing. He then insults Sheamus and Orton and say’s he’s butting in. Because he wants a title shot.
Theodore Long comes out and asks the audience if Christian should get another shot. Crowd said yes. So he made a triple threat number one contenders match tonight. Christian vs Sheamus vs Mark Henry.
Rating 3 out 5 – Had Moments but was basically just “I want the title” “no I want it” “no I want it” “ok match!” that has been done to death in wwe.
Match
Sin Cara vs Chavo Guerrero
Chavo starts off strong but Sin Cara turns the table and get chavo outside the ring. Chavo gets back in the ring and displays that technical skill from the P.P.V but Sin Cara sends chavo outside but this time Sin Cara brings him back in the ring. The match stays pretty close but Sin Cara hits his finisher and wins.
Rating 3 / 5 – the reason is it was not as good as the p.p.v and was shorter.
Promo
Cody Rhodes comes out and says he’s almost convinced there’s no god as every town is filled with ugly people. So as a service he’s providing the paper bags. He calls himself a hero and Daniel Bryan’s music hits.
Match
Daniel Bryan vs Cody Rhodes.
The match starts off pretty equal with Daniel Bryan getting the advantage with his technical skill. But cody knocks him to the outside. He continues the assault even getting a near fall. Cody shows off his technical skills and shows off a couple of cool submission moves.
Cody uses his mask a little and continues the assault. He sends Daniel Bryan in to the corner and Daniel Bryan fights his way out taking control of the match. Daniel Bryan does a missle dropkick from the top rope, near fall.
Cody takes control again. Cody sets up cross-Rhodes , Daniel Bryan reverses in to LeBell Lock and wins!
Aftermath
Cody assaults Daniel Bryan with his mask then takes him to the outside. Cody sends him into the railing and puts him in the ring. He then pulls him up and hits cross-Rhodes! He places a bag on Bryan and leaves.
Rating : 4.5 out of 5.
The promo , the match, the aftermath was just great.
Match
Ezekiel Jackson vs Heath Slater
Ezekiel Jackson no sells a punch to the head and starts dominating. I’m predicting squash match. Heath Slater starts gaining momentum. But Ezekiel Jackson over powers him and starts doing his body slams over and over then torture rack.
The Corre interferes and Ezekiel Jackson wins by DQ.
The Corre try to gang up on him but Ezekiel Jackson over powers them all and sends them fleeing
Rating 2/ 5
Interview
Christian says as a kid he was picked last for kick ball but by end made most homeruns. He was Canadian Kickball champion! 4 years in a row. When he was older he was last to hit puberty. He had most beautiful GF. In wwe he was last one anyone thought would be champion but now he will be!
4 out of 5 pretty well delivered interview
The Great Khali vs Kane
The match starts off pretty even before Khali starts to take charge holding his shoulders. Both men go for a choke slam , Khali knocks kane to the outside. Kane climbed the turn buckle and jumped off. 1.2.3
Yes it was that short.
Jhinder Mahal comes out and yells at Khali in foreign again. Jhinder Mahal pushes Ranjin Singh , Khali defends him but then locks on his vise grip and Jhinder Mahal grins as Khali walks out with him
1 out 5 – pointless it was short horrible match with the end result same as last week.
Update on big show : He’s going to out for weeks according to announcers.
Promo
Booker T’s music Hits and Booker gets in the ring with a microphone. He says to bare with him there’s something he needs to do. He invites Michael Cole into the ring. Cole refuses at first but get’s in the ring.
He says Cole lost the kiss my foot match and taunts him for it. He gets the crowd chanting “kiss my feet” Cole leaves ring
1 out of 5 – pointless
Interview
Sheamus is been interviewed, He mocks Henry and Christian for only getting one belt between them in 30+ years. Something he did in 1 year. And walks off.
2 / 5 too short.
Match
Alicia Fox & Tamina vs AJ and Kaitlyn /with Natalya
We see a mini video in corner of Natalya giving advice to AJ and Kaitlyn. Note this is the Smackdown debut of AJ and Kaitlyn. AJ gives off a good offence at first against Alicia Fox then tags in Kaitlyn. Kaitlyn puts in some good offence and Alicia Fox manages to get offence , scissors kick , 1 , 2 , 3.
3 / out of 5 – Too short , Cool to see AJ and Kaitlyn on SD, Booker T’s comment when Alicia Fox hit scissors kick of “I’ve seen that move some place before” made be chuckle.
Interview
Mark Henry is been interviewed. He asks Stiker what he he thinks and twists everything said to threaten him then walks off.
1 / 5 – too short
Macho Man Tribute – Not going to rate this as it’d be poor taste. But great to see it again. R.I.P Macho Man.

He turns around and Sheamus kicks him in the face. 1 , 2 , 3 Sheamus wins
3.5 out of 5 – better than I thought.
My thoughts :
Best Match – Daniel Bryan vs Cody Rhodes.
Low point – Too many short moments.
Predictions for later : At capital punishment I see a fatal 4 way. Orton vs Christian vs Sheamus vs Mark Henry. Last week I thought Christian was going to turn heel but he wasn’t.
Final thoughts : too many short stuff, Mark henry in main event. Smackdown is seriously missing Edge & Undertaker and right now it’s like it’s trying to move on and get a new image. More interviews than raw like it’s trying for more real approach and more. Hopefully it finds it’s footing soon.
