Smackdown 15-4-2011 *POSSIBLE SPOILERS*

Just saw this and found it interesting:

- Wrestling News World reader Alex sent this in... I was at the Chicago White Sox vs. Tampa Bay Rays game today, and before the game the White Sox PA announcer said that on April 15th David Otunga will be at the game. I'm not sure what this is worth, but it was announced that Otunga will be showcasing his "championship belt."

So could Otunga be winning the IC Title from Barrett on smackdown, or possibly the New-Nexus winning the Tag titles from the Corre?

Imagine the riots if that happened :eek::eek::eek:

I reckon there could be some sort of battle royal for the vacant World title on SD or else it will be Christain vs. Del Rio at Extreme Rules!

I hope Edge gets a huge send off on SD this week - I assume he will be on the show to hand over the world title

glenjamin

Yea he will be Liz.

in the line of thinking that every cloud has a silver lining Christian to become WHC soon?Maybe even extreme rules, admittedly it would be harsh on Del Rio as he deserves it for his work since coming in

Well Del Rio has already earned his spot in WHC title match at ER so hopefully on SD Christian earns the other spot for the ladder match for the vacated title

Christian's feud with Del Rio is one of the better feuds currently in WWE at present. Rey is still feuding with Cody, Undertaker is out, Barrett is IC champion, Kofi, Show and Kane are other options if they are finished feuding with the Corre.

Well as someone said in one of the other threads today (i think), maybe Del Rio was supposed to win at Manis, but they found out that Edge was gonna be retiring soon so changed plans and gave him the win at his last ever Mania. If so, then it will be Del Rio as next champ. Either way, we will have a new World Heavyweight champion in the coming weeks (or days)

Some of those matches between Del Rio and Christian in the run up to Mania seem to make a little more sense now.

Edge comes out to say his SmackDown goodbye. Big chants from the fans. Edge talks about his career and how he won his first world title in Albany. He introduces his mom who is sitting at ringside. Great speech by Edge.

Alberto Del Rio interrupts Edge backstage and extends his hand. Edge just stares at him and walks away.

The 20-man battle royal consists of Big Show, Kane, The Corre, Heath Slater, Jack Swagger, Brodus Clay, Christian, Cody Rhodes, Drew McIntyre, Yoshi Tatsu, Kofi Kingston, Rey Mysterio, Tyler Reks, Chris Masters, Chavo Guerrero, Curt Hawkins, Trent Baretta and JTG.

Sounds like an amazing SD!

Delighted Edge got a proper send off and am equally delighted that WWE finally seems to be getting behind Christian!

Now if only Teddy Long would learn to pronounce Christian's name properly!

Just watching Smackdown here.

That Edge compilation was fantastic. The Spear off the ladder, ultimately winning the tag team titles. Mad that the tag team division is virtually non existent at the minute and he busted his hole, doing unimaginable things to make the division what it was at the time.

I wonder will Sky Sports show the full ending of SD (i.e. Edge appreciation)

nope

Mr.Nice Guy

I thought it was a good send off for Edge. Pretty emotional.

Also Christian becoming number 1 contender by winning an over-the-top-rope battle royal is a genius idea. :pac:

JP Liz V1

I had lol at Booker T during the Battle Royal everyone bar Christian he was talking up as potential winners and threats were eliminated straight away after he mentioned them
