**SPOILERS BELOW**

Big pop for Booker T and lots of heat for Michael Cole when the commentators were introduced. Smackdown opened with Triple H making his entrance. He cut a promo on the state of the World Heavyweight Championship. Christian interrupted and talked about how Teddy Long has tried to run Smackdown into the ground. Hunter said that interrupting him is like slapping him in the face.

Triple H announced Christian vs. Randy Orton in a No Holds Barred Match for SummerSlam.

R-Truth came out and said he was there to continue what they started on Raw. He talked of the conspiracy against him. Triple H announced R-Truth vs Randy Orton for Smackdown, and also announced that Christian vs. John Morrison was up next.

Backstage, Triple H and Teddy Long were interrupted by Zack Ryder. Hunter announced that Ryder will be Long's new assistant.

1. Christian defeated John Morrison. Christian really played up the heel antics. Morrison looked great in his return match, according to Wesley. There was a botched reversal at one point that looked bad. In the end, Morrison executed a backdrop off the top rope and tried unsuccessfully to follow up with Starship Pain. Christian hit the Killswitch and got the win. Jim labeled it an "excellent TV match."

Wade Barrett cut a promo regarding Daniel Bryan. Bryan interrupted only to take a cheap shot from Barrett. Bryan countered and made Barrett tap to the LeBell Lock.

Ryder and Long were shown backstage with Mark Henry. Ryder said he would find Henry an opponent. Henry said Long better thank his assistant.

The Nexus vs. The Uso Brothers was advertised for later in the show.

2. Alicia Fox, Rosa Mendes, and Melina defeated Natalya, AJ, and Kaitlyn. AJ has improved, according to Wesley. Fox hit her axe kick on Kaitlyn and got the pin.

There was a Justin Gabriel video that showed him at home in South Africa.

3. Mark Henry beat Bobby Heller. Heller is a local wrestler from the Philly area. Henry destroyed him in a squash with two World Strongest Slams and a killer backbreaker.

Henry grabbed a chair, but Teddy Long stopped him from using it by saying he had a lawsuit pending and no one wants to fight him. Sheamus mades his entrance and said he will fight Henry. Sheamus slapped Henry and then tossed him out of the ring. Sheamus grabbed a chair and Henry retreated.

4. Michael McGillicutty and David Otunga defeated The Uso Brothers to retain the WWE Tag Titles. The Uso Brothers did their tribal dance to no reaction whatsoever. New Nexus came out to Justin Gabriel's theme song. Weird. The Uso Brothers showed a lot of energy and worked in some double team moves. However, McGillicutty hit his neckbreaker to get the win for his team.

Backstage, Ryder booked Ezekiel Jackson in a handicap match against Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes.

Another pointless Johnny Curtis vignette was shown. Wesley said there have been consistent C.M. Punk chants throughout the show.

R-Truth was interviewed backstage by Matt Striker. He said he's going to swoop down like a bunch of eagles on a snake when he faces Orton. Wesley labeled it a great promo.

5. Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase beat Ezekiel Jackson in a handicap match. Decent heat for the heels. The paper bag men were out for the crowd. DiBiase started and was getting destroyed. He tagged Cody, who tagged back to Ted. DiBiase applied a sleeper. Zeke picked him up with one arm. Zeke had Cody in the Torture Rack, but Ted broke it up and Cody hit CrossRhodes for the win.

Jinder Mahal and The Great Khali cut a promo from a luxury suite. It was hard to make out what was said since there was great heat and USA chants.

6. R-Truth beat Randy Orton by DQ. Truth came out to a little heat, while Orton got the thunderous ovation. R-Truth received "sucks" chants and sold it by looking pissed. Truth got in a lot of offense and some near falls. Orton came back and then Christian came out. Randy hits a DDT off the ropes and struck the Viper's Pose.

Truth saw the RKO coming and dipped out of ring. Christian distracted Orton. Truth got his water bottle and hit Orton with it. Orton mocked Truth and drank water. He followed up with a Thesz Press and punches. Orton hit Truth with a chair for a DQ. Christian ran to the stage. Orton hit a pair of RKO's on Truth on the announcers' table to big pops.

Dark Match

1. Christian defeated Randy Orton in a Street Fight to retain the World Hvt. Championship. Teddy Long's music played for roughly five minutes after the previous match before Zack Ryder finally came out and set up the dark match. Christian said Philly does not deserve a Street Fight for the World Heavyweight Championship.

Christian said he hasn't met one tough person from Philly and he said they will not see a RKO on him tonight. Great heel work by Christian. The Crowd ate it up. In the end, Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase came out and distracted Orton, and Christian rolled up Randy for the pin. Orton hit RKO's on everyone to close the show.

So Ryder is going to be on TV every week on smackdown is it??

Also Sheamus is a face now im guessing? I dont watch smackdown often, but I might tune in to see what reaction he gets.

rovert

Auld Wesley likes labels

HBK

Is it just me or did you purposely leave out the first line of the spoilers that are on every other site??

example: http://www.prowrestling.com/article/news/19115

So they have gone and ruined(in a little over a week) the only decent storyline they have had.
Typical to be fair, they done it last year also! Interest gone!

Dancor

Gwan the Sheamus fella.

GTR63

Sheamus vs Henry now guess that Barrett feud ended as quick as it started. Looks like it'll be Bryan vs Wade Barrett too. If Ryder is Longs assistant? He better learn the phrase Tag Team match then

the groutch

nice idea to get Ryder over with the non-internet crowd.

Pentecost

Yeah good to give Ryder something to do and sounds like Sheamus got a decent reaction, he could turn into a popular face. As for HHH annoucing he's resigned Punk, they could have waited until Monday at least and keep people guessing even though it was pretty obvious he had resigned.

Agreed....I was looking forward to Randy Orton vs the Announce table to be built up to a match at Summerslam. Or for Orton to at least demand a match On Smackdown after its sneak attack last week.

jaykhunter

i'm wondering why there was so much RAW talent on SmackDown. Truth, JoMo, Ryder, Zeke.... Are the talent barriers going to be lifted or just ignored and only main-events don't do double duty?

Was hoping they wouldn't just book another Christian/Orton match at SummerSlam; at least add in a few guys (Sheamo/Henry etc?)

Looks like a decent enough show

Pentecost

Zeke is a SD guy

JP Liz V1

I hope Cody gets a reign with the IC title

Sounds like another action packed SD.

He also had some choice words for the announce table.

Seems like a jammers SD.
Looking forward to seeing this over the weekend.

And also, i suppose they announced that RAW

CM PUNK had resigned to just guarantee that the SD audience would tune in to raw next monday?

Angron

Does the announce table ever collapse when Orton does the RKO on it? :pac:

Face Sheamus should be fun, Ryder gets some tv time and No Holds Barred for Summerslam, sounds like a good show.

Cianan2

I'm gonna watch this week, sounds good! Looking forward to hearing the reaction to Sheamus!!!

Lord TSC

HA! Two weeks in a row, I've managed to on Smackdown just as Daniel Bryan came out. And two weeks in a row, I plan on turning it off as soon as he's gone

GTR63

Who needs the Orton vs Christian series when you have the Natalia,Kaitlyn & Aj vs Foxx,Tamina & Mendes series.

Pentecost

Face Sheamo is going to be good. He's well over already, got a good pop off the crowd when he came out to sort out Henry and he'll carry it off well.

GTR63

Ryder is a small bit heelish this week,not that Teddy Long was going to be the heel in the partnership.

Eire-Dearg

Had to laugh at the edited cheers for Zeke Jackson. As if.

connemara man

good Smackdown, I loved the good reaction for Seamus and the HHH bit was good i enjoyed it overall a lot more then RAW

Pentecost

It's less of a soap opera than Raw and it's just a good, fun show at the moment. Great to hear the Sheamus chants and cheers, the crowd genuinely seemed to take to him and he's only at the beginning of his face turn now too.

DM_7

I loved the end of Smackdown this week, great contrast between Psycho Orton and Cowardly Christian. It was funny watching Christian hugging the title and looking so scared.

I don't have any interest in Zeke so I'm was happy enough seeing Cody get the better of him.

I think the Bryan v Barrett feud could do both guys a lot of good. Bryan will get to mix it with a good promo guy and Wade gets to mix it with a great in ring guy.

parker kent

Vince must have read my post in the "Who will be the next big face?" thread from a few months ago. Punk and Sheamie all the way to the top :pac:

Sheamus could be a very good face, he has the crucial likeability factor.

GTR63

I LOL'd at the Crusty Veteran line Triple H said to Christian.

Another Forum calls it the seagull pop.

I prefer the term WWE Sound Sweetening Squad. Smackdown does be rife with it but at least you could visibly see the crowd was excited this week for Sheamus.

Pentecost

Yeah there were fairly loud "Sheamus, Sheamus" chants too which wouldn't have been edited.
