Smackdown *SPOILERS* 7/10/11

The Ayatolla

Dark Match:

* Brodus Clay defeated a local wrestler in a squash.

SmackDown, Airing Friday:

* SmackDown opens with Teddy Long and Zack Ryder backstage, talking about the walkout on RAW. Teddy says RAW's loss will be SmackDown's gain and Ryder chimes in.

* Vickie Guerrero, Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger, Cody Rhodes, David Otunga, Wade Barrett and Christian are in the ring to heat from the crowd. They talk about their grievances and threaten to boycott all WWE events because of unsafe working conditions, unless Triple H resigns as WWE COO.

* WWE champ Alberto Del Rio comes out and says that the Smackdown stars won’t return to Raw as long as HHH is COO. He’s here to show Smackdown what Raw will be missing this Monday. Teddy long comes out and announces Sheamus & Randy Orton vs. Cody Rhodes & Christian as tonight’s main event, but says that since Del Rio wants to be in action tonight, he will face Sin Cara.

*WWE champion Alberto Del Rio defeated Sin Cara. After the match, Black Cara attacked Blue Cara.

*Backstage, Matt Striker interviewed WWE Tag Team champions Air Boom, asking them why they walked out on Raw. They said it was a culmination of many things but until HHH steps down, the fans won’t see Air Boom anywhere but Smackdown.

*Jack Swagger and WWE United States champion Dolph Ziggler defeated WWE Tag Team champions Air Boom in a non title match. The champions were attacked as they made their entrance and were on the defensive for most of the match.

*WWE Divas champion Beth Phoenix defeated Alicia Fox in 30 seconds. After the match, Fox was trapped in Beth’s submission while Natalya screamed at her on the mic to cry and scream.

* Big Show comes out and talked about returning, then challenges Mark Henry. Mark Henry came out and says he will deal with Big Show when he’s ready but Show doesn’t deserve a World Heavyweight Title shot.

* Randy Orton is interviewed by Matt Striker and is asked why he didn’t participate on the walkout at RAW. Orton says he will deal with Triple H personally, if he has issues with him.

* Big Show comes back out and says he wants Mark Henry tonight. This appeared to be an addition or re-tape to the previous segment.

* Ezekiel Jackson defeated Jinder Mahal.

* John Laurinaitis shows up in Teddy Long’s office to offer his support.

* Hornswoggle and Booker T entertain the crowd in the ring, likely a segment for just us in the crowd. They both do Spinaroonies.

* Sheamus and Randy Orton beat Cody Rhodes and Christian.

* Mark Henry and Big Show had a staredown and teased a brawl to end the show.

So....HHH isn't the COO of Smackdown as well :S

I get the couldn't do a two hour show of HHH standing in the ring but it sounds like they are acting as if HHH is just Raw GM and not the guy running the entire WWE.

Teddy Long really does get a hardon for making Tag matches.

the groutch

sounds like a nothing show to hold over the HHH story til next week's RAW

Well SD does have teddy and Ryder to hold the show.
Also, the no confidence was in relation to raw being an unsafe workplace.

Wow I expected HHH to be on SD

This PPV is going to bomb so hard.

We can only hope it picks up a bit I guess. Kind of a shame that they pretty much just used this show to further what's happening on Raw though.

So are they tryin to get the SD ratings/attendance up with this walk-out over the next few weeks? What with the likes of Airboom and Del Rio saying they'll all be boycotting Raw

Epic promo by big show

Fully admit to turning my brain off for the walkout angle here but Smackdown was awesome with a tremondous closing angle. Somehow HHH is RAW GM or something? What. Also Smackdown seems as chaotic as Raw.

Henry-Big Show is the f*cking ideal feud for a short build PPV.

DM_7

Smackdown was very good.

Show and Henry was very good.

Not sure why Bryan was not on the show though.

Despite Del Rio being attacked at HIAC i think he will turn out to be involved directly with the conspirators. He became Champion the first time after Nash arrived on the scene.

The Cell being lowered on RAW. The way RR had a key for the cell. The way he was put over as the leader of the walk out.

Diabhal Beag

Ah ****. Big Show is back

I love Booker, I don't care what anybody says. He's right up there in my fave five.

For those who dont know or remember Booker's tiolet break at Elimination Chamber:

On the Chamber show, with Lawler doing a title match, the announcing was the Smackdown crew of Cole, Booker T and Josh Matthews. Booker, who has only been doing it for a few weeks, has one positive trait as an announcer and that is that he hasn’t gotten the enthusiasm beaten out of him yet. But he comes across as almost a parody of an 80s wrestling announcer, like he’s playing announcer as opposed to being an announcer. While not evident on the show, Booker actually left the table during the main event and then came back out. Presumably it was a bathroom break, and it must have been serious, but I’ve never heard of that done before in the middle of the main event on PPV and was considered across the board as unprofessional. Plus, Cole is in a tough position of having to play his character while at the same time get the matches over, and those two goals are often in conflict with each other.
