    *World champion Christian comes out and talks about winning the title at Extreme Rules. Mark Henry and Great Khali come out and demand title shots. Randy Orton then comes out and says he wants a shot too. Teddy Long comes out and says that he will let the fans decide and the fans pick Orton. Long announces Christian vs. Orton for the title tonight.

    *Backstage, Khali and Ranjin Singh run into Jinder Mahal, who says that it was interesting Singh let Khali dress up in a tutu on Raw.

    *Sheamus defeated Daniel Bryan in a good match.

    *Backstage, the Divas approach Layla and thank her for getting rid of Michelle McCool but tell her that they haven't forgotten how she treated them. Layla says Lay-Cool is officially over and everyone is going to see a new side of her.

    *Cody Rhodes comes out and discusses his match at the Extreme Rules PPV. He has bags handed out to make the crowd wear them on his head.

    *Ezekiel Jackson defeated The Big Show.

    *Layla defeated Alicia Fox. Kharma comes out. Layla backs away. Fox kicks her. She tries to kick Kharma again but instead eats a clothesline. Kharma nailed her with the Implant Buster. The crowd chants for another. She teases it but leaves.

    *The Corre attacked Ezekiel Jackson and laid him out backstage, saying that he couldn't just leave them.

    *Sin Cara defeated Tyson Kidd. Chavo Guerrero was on commentary. Chavo shakes Cara's hand after the match.

    *Backstage, Todd Grisham interviews Teddy Long and asked him if he thought it was unfair Christian has to defend the World title so soon. Long said it's not about being fair, it's about giving the fans what they want. Long said that Raw had a WWE title bout the day after Extreme Rules and he's going to make Smackdown just as exciting and unpredictable.

    *Randy Orton pinned Christian to win the World title. Orton celebrated and left. Christian sat in the ring dejected as the fans chanted for him. After he went to the back, Orton returned to remind everyone that when they go home, remember he is the new World champion.

    well i said here a few weeks ago that christian looked like he would be heading back to the mid card, thought i was wrong (and was delighted) when he won the title, but looks like after this, it proves vince doesnt have the faith in him to carry the title.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 411 ✭✭HBK


    Sweet devine jesus! Can they screw things up anymore??

    First Cena, now Christian loosing the belt after 2 days? *facepalm*

    :mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,774 ✭✭✭Big Daddy Cool


    i bet christian regrets hugging and thanking vince when he went backstage after winning the belt.

    That is an absolute joke!! FFS I'll say it again: when was the last time orton put someone over? The politicking, egotistical c*nt!

    Seriously i dont remember the last time he lost clean 1 on 1!


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,913 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    Well, that kills whatever interest I had with Smackdown.

    I had predicted that ADR would win then immediatly drop the title to Orton but when Christian won, I hoped they'd at least wait till Over the Limit. I knew they'd want Orton to be the top guy, but Jesus....

    EDIT: Just realised this is now TWO first World title runs ruined on Smackdown within quick succession; Ziggler being the other. Both men "win" the title for the first time, only to immediatly lose it. :(
    Imagine poor Christian coming to work last night. All thrilled at being champion, delighted to be the guy. Then he walks up to Vince and his small bubble is immediatly burst.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Music Moderators, Regional Midlands Moderators Posts: 24,155 Mod ✭✭✭✭Angron


    What. WHAT??? Way to screw over Christian, just when I was so happy at his winning the title.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47,709 ✭✭✭✭Mitch Connor


    Something seems really wrong about this.

    I can get my head around Orton winning the title, but I don't see the point in it with zero build - could have been PPV.

    Absolutely gutted though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,234 ✭✭✭ayatollah


    seriously orton is champ already?!!??!

    facepalm.jpg

    i love the way he really gave the fans a choice there khali, henry or orton - ooohh tough one i wonder who they'll go for.

    sorry liz - feel for you.

    There are many reasons that I rarely even look at WWE tv anymore. This sums it up perfectly. Absolute disgrace. It's pretty insulting to the older, long-term audience who were all delighted to see Christian get a title run.

    From what I heard of the match, it was brilliant, so it can't be an injury-related decision.

    A match like Orton vs Del Rio would have been an excellent main event at SS so why not let Christian keepit for a month or two. Not two fcuking days. Makes zero sense.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,491 ✭✭✭thebostoncrab


    There isn't a word strong enough to show my frustration with this news. I don't blame Orton because, let's be honest, if Vince says your winning the title would you say no? I didn't expect a long title reign but **** me this is just insulting.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,600 ✭✭✭✭CMpunked

    Something is telling me that this is a thank you for going to the blue brand...


    And I guarantee that Orton will be on RAW this Monday aswell.

    Meh, Christian has always been over hyped and really about the same level as Matt Hardy, constant mid carder and nothing more. Admittedly the titles being back on the same old faces is annoying, would have preferred to see the title on Del Rio for a while.

    I'm guessing this opinion coming from someone who is considerably younger and caught the end of the attitude era?
    Correct me if I'm wrong? :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,093 ✭✭✭✭chopperbyrne


    Terrible booking.

    The only good thing is that it seems Orton will be going heel again at least.

    Maybe they can build Christian up and have him win it again at one of the bigger PPVs.

    Nope, late 20's and caught the Attitude era in full, might wanna lay off on the :rolleyes:. Just never got caught up in all the fuss about him, and don't see anything exceptional about his promo's or in ring skills. Hated TNA putting their title on him but put it down to the fact that they were going through a phase of giving it to the latest WWE acquisition.

    If you only caught the end of the Attitude era and onwards, then you would have seen Christian when he was at his best in a singles role anyway and would be best placed to judge him.

    Odd comment to make.

    Ok take the fact that its christian out of the equation;
    Its a bit a slap in the face to a guy who has so many years under his belt, is a constant performer (has he ever had an injury), finally gets a big win and doesnt even get to hold the belt for a week, losing it in an unadvertised match on free tv?
    And as fans who thought "Oh this is something different, this could be interesting" have now to suffer the title being on someone so boring and so repetitive, its a kick in the balls. :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,689 ✭✭✭sky88


    this is the kind of time i ask myself why i still watch wwe

    He is one of the most underrated wrestlers in WWE, always good in ring and over with the crowd


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,943 ✭✭✭Machismo Fan


    I knew he'd be dropping the belt to Orton but this soon is just stupid on every level. Why couldn't they have waited until Over the Limit at least?

    Aint he only back from a long injury?;)

    And I agree with your points, it does suck that they are reverting back to normal when it looked like something different might be happening. My posts are in response to you saying who wouldn't be upset at the news and are purely from my point of view...I just don't get the adoration that is lavished upon him, which seems to come from the fact that he had never won a WWE title. Like I mentioned earlier Matt Hardy got the same kind of praise before people realised he was an ass, and a lot of people felt the same about Mysterio before he won the title.

    I also find it hard to accept him as a main eventer, part of it I think is down to the characters he has played, with the goofy and whingey gimmicks really hurting his credibility, but nothing about him makes me want to tune in to see what happens with him, or buy a PPV which he headlines. Off hand the only promo I can remember by him is his rap against Cena, and I think that is in my mind because I came across the DVD of the PPV the other day. Even thinking back to the TLC and Ladder matches that he should be remembered for nothing about Christian sticks out for me, nor does any singles match he has had (I have not seen the ladder match with Del Rio). I understand he has his fans but he is just another meh wrestler to me, if he retired tomorrow I wouldn't miss him.

    Fans should probably be happy and find the good in the fact that he was champion...(even if it does come across as a favour to Edge because he was forced to retire more than an actual long term decision), because some more talented have been denied that opportunity.

    Christian fans form an orderly mob here.:D

    Have you actually watched many Christian matches?

    He is an awesome worker with charisma and as a champ was a break from the status quo.


    I understand that Orton is the franchise guy but seriously the company wasn't going to fall apart if he had kept the belt until Over The Limit.


    Also apart from pops, their has been little evidence ever of Orton spiking a buyrate or even popping a ratings, when on Raw when he became champion, ratings always fell. I'm not saying that Christian was going into bring in another Business boom, but their is **** all to be gained from having Orton champ so soon.

    Ok so I'm biased here but Christian seem to be getting bigger pops than Orton on SD last week


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,169 ✭✭✭jmolloy


    I blame the fans, if they had of chose one of the no chance heels we might all still be happy. :D

    Anyway not mentioned in the spoiler is that it took all of two days for wwe to bring back a racial tinged storyline even if it was just a dark match

    Shawn Daivari returned to WWE and performed a dark match against Ted DiBiase at the SmackDown! taping in Orlando, FL this week. He was wearing his turban and cut a promo where he said he wore the turban to prove he is the best in the world no matter where he goes. DiBiase was a babyface and defeated Daivari


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,587 ✭✭✭Xinkai


    Time for TNA till Christian gets the belt back methinks.

    Officially on a boycott from WWE starting now.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,913 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    Between Davari returning and the Khali segment, I'm wondering if they are about to create a new Indian heel stable...

    I've a feeling they are brining in Daivari as part of the Khali, Singh, Jinder Mahal storyline. You know its gonna be ruined by moronic USA chants though...

    wow that really pisses me off, I have wanted him to win the title since he returned from tna , and to make him give it up after two days, WTF. Vince your a c**t.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,469 ✭✭✭✭GTR63


    What a fùcking idiotic piece of booking,feel sorry for Christian unlike so many in wwe he earned that title reign.But vince wouldn't have him in the limelight even for a week.Sickened to see that Bell end Davari back Useless wrestler who exploits world events to get heat,lets hope wwe took out the plane crashing sound at the start of the parasites stereotypical music.

    Are you refering to the Hassan angle? That was one of the best written Angles WWE did. The reason that angle was dropped was the 7/7 bombings and mounting pressure from UPN to end it. They didn't exploit any world events. They used the fact that American-Muslims were now being stereotyped as terrorists and protesting it. (and it's that reason why it drew so much heat)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,608 ✭✭✭irish_stevo815


    This is really some stupid moronic sh**. I was gonna avoid SD spoilers this wee kand actually watch the show, but I accidently came across something about Orton winning the title so i had t ocheck.

    Bloody hell, what a kick in the a$$ for Christian. I knew Orton would have won eventually, but they could have at least waited til Over the Limit at least. So Christian gets 5 day reign (well 2 really). Did Vince/HHH not hear the fans reaction to Christian winning at Extreme rules?? it was the biggest cheer in a long long time.

    Bye bye Smackdown for me!!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,013 ✭✭✭✭jaykhunter


    Thanks Silverfox for having the subject like this. It doesn't hint at any spoilers, it's a completely generic title. Thanks! I wish everyone would follow your lead (outside boards lol)

    Any video or picture links yet,I am curious to see if they even bothered to put Christians name on the title, at least they can't take away one thing from him he is now a grandslam winner.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,788 ✭✭✭✭krudler


    Not really surpised tbh, Christian won the title simple because Edge retired, Vince has never rated him as a champion and it shows.

    Nope Gar I was reffering to his character in Tna which was a exploitive character. When he was in wwe he wore a suit in that when he was in tna he wore a tea towel on his head & was drawing cheap heat.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,116 ✭✭✭starviewadams


    I feckin knew what this was by just looking at the size of the thread.

    WWE just love sticking it to their long term fans for some reason,this makes absolutely zero sense,why not just build Orton/Christian up and have him lose at the next PPV,at least give Christian that respect and courtesy,FFS how long was Kane's awful World Title reign?and Christian,who's reign was going to be fresh and interesting and one that I was really looking forward to,gets less then a fúcking week??Bollox to that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,713 ✭✭✭Cianan2


    Its interesting, to say the least. I'm sure they'll expect quite a few people to be unhappy about this, perhaps it is all part of a future storyline where Christian will do everything possible to regain the title and hang on to it (turn heel and be your typical cheat-to-win champ) He gets a rematch, so that'll be the match at the next PPV no doubt.

    I just recall Rock saying "I'm so happy for you, congratulations" at Raw, and Christian having a huge smile on his face... Don't really know where they're gonna go with this!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,903 ✭✭✭Mr. Guappa


    This is moronic booking on so many levels.

    First off they take the belt off Christian the first chance they get.. that sucks big time for him and is a kick in the teeth to many of their longtime fans.

    Second, Orton is the biggest star on SD and they put the title on him straight away? Whatever happened to having the babyface overcome a load of setbacks before eventually grabbing the gold?

    The only way this works is if they turn Christian heel. Play on the fact that he waited so long to claim the big one and have him turn heel due to frustration at having it snatched away so quickly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 90,227 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    How come Kane or Sheamus didnt demand a title shot :confused:

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,227 ✭✭✭Ridley


    Spoiled myself due to curiosity at the thread size.

    Could be a great match for all I know right now but Edge > Ziggler for a few hours > Edge > Vacation > Christian for a few days > Orton isn't a good thing for the title.

    It's a shame. Can't help but smile at the choice between Orton, Khali and Henry though.
