Smackdown 17/08/12 *Results/Spoilers*

A Primal Nut

Last night’s WWE SmackDown tapings spoilers from Austin, Texas. The show will air on Friday in the US (SyFy) and in the UK (Sky Sports).

We open SmackDown with a recap of last week and the beat down on Shemaeus by Alberto Del Rio. Del rio is out to start the show and is demanding that he get his championship match back at SummerSlam.

Booker T is out to confront Del Rio. Booker T says that a man does not dress goons up in cop suits and attack one man. Chris Jericho comes out and goes off on Del Rio and calls him a yapping dog. Jericho starts speaking Spanish and says that Del Rio's breath smells like dog s--t in Spanish. Yes, he's speaking in Spanish. Jericho says that he wants to take Del Rio's spot at SummerSlam. The main event tonight is set, and it will be Jericho vs. Del Rio. Booker T said Sheamus will not wrestle at SummerSlam.

Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara vs. The Miz and Cody Rhodes. Rey hits the 619 while Cody is trying to take of Sin Cara's mask and gets the win after the top rop dive. After the match, Mysterio hit the Miz with a 619 after Miz tried to sneak attack him. Heck of a match, Rey and Sin Cara are amazing together.

Randy Orton vs. Daniel Bryan is announced for later tonight.

Curt Hawkins and Tyler Reks beat two jobbers. Hawkins and Reks are doing some new stipper "Magic Mike" dance gimmick now.

William Regal is backstage telling Eve how powerful he was when he was the GM. Workers then came up to Regal and asked him to take the trash out.

Teddy Long is out at the announce booth to commentate during the Divas match between Eve and Kaitlyn. Eve defeated Kaitlyn to become Booker T's new assistant. Short, sloppy match.

Randy Orton defeated Daniel Bryan. Kane faked his entrance to distract Bryan, and Orton nailed him with an RKO to get the pin.

Daniel Bryan is staying in the ring with the mic screaming "No No!," and says he won't leave until the people stop chanting "YES!" Triple H comes out and pedigrees him. This likely won't make the air.

It's announced that WWE will return to Austin for a live event on January 11th. The pre-sale password is AUSCENA.

Santino comes out for color commentary.

Antonio Cesaro defeated Zack Ryder in less than a minute. After the match, Santino hit Cesaro.

Alberto Del Rio vs. Chris Jericho is up next. Del Rio is out first. Jericho is coming out and is attacked by Ziggler, who screams to Jericho to not overlook him. The match has started, looks like Jericho is going to wrestle hurt. Del Rio dominated the majority of the match by attacking Jericho's injured ribs. Ziggler interfered twice, allowing Del Rio to win with the Shining Wizard kick.

After the match, Ziggler and Del Rio double team Jericho until Sheamus makes the save. Del Rio attacks Sheamus, but Sheamus makes a comeback and Del Rio escapes through the crowd. Booker T comes out to address the situation. Booker tells Sheamus that he should not be there. Sheamus demands that his rematch with Del Rio get re-instated. Booker originally says "no," but Sheamus keeps pleading. After Sheamus said "please" like three times, Booker relented and said that the match is back on for SummerSlam.

After the cameras stopped rolling, Del Rio sneaks back up on Sheamus. Sheamus and Del Rio fight into the crowd and Sheamus gets the upper hand. Sheamus then stood victorious as Del Rio ran away again.

In the dark match, John Cena defeated The Big Show with the AA.

Cancelling the Sheamus-Del Rio match and making it on again might have worked if people cared and were disappointed the match was on in the first place. Bit of a waste. Not a good period for Daniel Bryan either and he even took The Miz's role getting hit by the Pedigree by Triple H.

Charisteas

What's the reasoning in giving Booker an assistant? Either the writers must have had second thoughts on making him GM or they thought it was getting stale already. Or just something for Eve to do? It's a weird one anyway.

Bryan loses yet again,and the pointless Sheamo v Del Boro feud muddles on.

Well, with Eve being a heel, there is potential for an interesting storyline with the good buy Booker T. Or maybe just some funny segments. I'll give it a chance anyway.

Eve and Regal should team up and take Booker T and AJ's jobs as GMs heel GMs are better

is this the first time rey and sin cara teamed up?

Should get rid of the whole GM role as it's very,very tired imo,go back to the days of Jack Tunney or an anonymous board of directors making matches and not taking 20 minutes of TV time to set them up like nowadays.Just have the announcers say whatever match has been made and throw a graphic up on screen.

None of this convoluted GM and assistant GM nonsense!

I think they teamed up in a 6 man on Raw a few weeks ago. I hope the plan for Mania is to have the two of them take each other on as that could be great if they build it right.

As regards Eve becoming Booker's assistant, I like it. Sometimes a GM has to make unpopular decisions and now they can have Eve do that and protect Booker somewhat. I think Eve can do well as the scheming manipulator in the background causing grief for Booker.

The Sheamus/Del Rio match is a bit of a mess. It always feels so hokey to me when a babyface champion is demanding a title match against an opponent. I don't think they had any real idea how to further this feud. I wonder if the plan is for Sheamus to lose and Orton and Del Rio to fight for the belt.

CMpunked

Sheamus should lose the title on sunday. After that ending it would make sense for Del Rio to get heat by rubbing it in his face that he demanded the match be reinstated.

starviewadams

Would prefer an Orton heel turn and a feud with Sheamus over the title.

Sick to the back teeth of Del Rio tbh!

Did the WWE universe really need to see Tyler Reks and Curt Hawkins do a PG friendly Chippendales routine.?

Epic fail.
