Triple H came out to open the show and said he re-signed CM Punk to a WWE contract on Monday night. World Heavyweight Champion Christian came out and it's announced he'll defend the title against Randy Orton in a No Holds Barred Match at 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.

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.

Wade Barrett comes out and cuts a promo on Daniel Bryan. Bryan comes out and says Heath Slater cut the same promo last week and he made him tap out. Barrett punches him and taunts him with his own Money in the Bank briefcase. Daniel eventually counters and puts Barrett in the LeBell Lock.

Backstage, Teddy Long is talking to Zack Ryder. Mark Henry walks up to them and Ryder tells him that he will find him an opponent.

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

Alicia Fox, Rosa Mendes, and Melina defeated Natalya, AJ, and Kaitlyn. 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.

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.

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, Johnny Curtis says he will make his Smackdown debut next week.

The Raw Rebound airs showing Rey Mysterio Winning the WWE Championship, Jim Ross returning, John Cena vs. Mysterio, Cena winning the WWE Championship and CM Punk returning.

Backstage, Matt Striker interviews R-Truth. R-Truth says a good R-Truth is a bad R-Truth. He says he's like an eagle swooping down and grabbing a snake like a viper.

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

Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase defeated 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 in Punjabi from the second level of the arena. "USA" chants fill the arena.

R-Truth defeats Randy Orton by DQ. Truth had a lot of heat on him. World Heavyweight Champion Christian comes out to watch the match from the top of the ramp. R-Truth gets the win via disqualification when Orton uses a chair. After the match, Orton hits an RKO on R-Truth on the announce table, breaking it.

Also, lots of cross-brand stuff in this, more than usual.

I hope Ryder being on Smackdown doesn't keep him from Raw. At least he's on TV though.

While I love the fact this move will get Ryder more tv time, I'm not digging the fact it's as an assistant gm.

Xero
07-26-2011, 10:16 PM
That means he'll be on TV more often than if he were a glorified jobber. And honestly, he's better as a non-wrestling character.

I get the feeling that Ryder will become Smackdown's Santino.

Ermaximus
07-26-2011, 10:17 PM
So I'm guessing the Sheamus face turn is official also?

VSG

It better be Jimmy Uso who got pinned!

I get the feeling that Ryder will become Smackdown's Santino.

And this is a good thing, because he will never amount to really any more than that.

This isn't a dig at the guy. Santino is marketable. Ryder is marketable. But neither will ever be in any prominent role with any semblance of their current characters. Ryder being the Santino of SmackDown! is the best thing he can hope for.

Also looks like dhellova guy has been eliminated for the second game in a row without his representative ever getting into a match.</font> :(

may as well just crown whoever has Mark Henry.

:lol: no reaction to the Usos entrance like in the past.

Sounds like a good show overall.

Ryder's situation sounds interesting because on one hand he gets to be on tv a lot more but on the other hand he won't be in the ring and WWE can easily edit any of his crowd reactions out of the show.

it was a pretty fun show.

the crowd was hot for sheamus

Don't care baby. Except for the Ryder part.

His name is Sheamus and he loves to fight

Mr. Nerfect

So we might be building up to Sheamus vs. Mark Henry and Wade Barrett vs. Daniel Bryan? Cool.

To be honest, it sounds like a really good show. Christian vs. Morrison will be awesome, as will Triple H being on SmackDown! and Zack Ryder as Assistant GM sounds...interesting. To be honest, it seems like they're trying to beef up SmackDown!.

I just can't believe I've lasted this long with Kelly Kelly. Looks like Sheamus might be the one to take out Henry too in these coming weeks. Nice.

Smackdown seems pretty interesting for this week. The cross brand stuff might be out of necessity with Kane injured, Show on hiatus and no Taker. Looking forward to checking it out.

I am up for a Sheamus face turn :D

I've grown to like Sheamus...so as long as they don't make him look weak, I'm all for the big fella going face.

Shisen Kopf
07-28-2011, 12:50 AM
I think Sheamus should stay a heel. If they turn him face he is just gonna be another stereotypical Irish dude. May as well give him Hornswoggle too.

...don't knw what to make of it...

...on one hand, I wanna be like "it's ridiculous", but on the other hand, I'm like "if they ever went heel and did that, it'd be bad ass".

Wow Smackdown was great. I see this as the beginning of the end of the brand split. And I love it.

Im genuinely excited with where the WWE is going, its like everything is being altered; everyone is being given something to do and THAT is how you get over.

Very good show. This "Reality Era" is really starting to click. There wasn't really a segment tonight where I thought "Well, that was unnecessary!" Even the Jinder Mahal segment - while not actually advancing any story - helped establish his character. The Divas' match was weak, but not as atrocious as we've seen in recent months/years. Alicia's axe kick was ugly, but AJ looked like a million bucks in a short amount of time. And I love love LOVE what they're doing with Mark Henry and Sheamus. Henry looks like an absolute beast and Sheamus as the bully who stands up to other bullies has serious babyface potential.

I'm not really a fan of cheap humor, but yeah it was pretty funny. Liking the face turn :)

"Let's go fella!" :lol:

The way AJ hits the ropes is so cute.

Though this show was very average despite them trying to switch things up but Ryder getting more tv time was great and I thought the whole Jinder Mahal segment was pointless without any translation.

Sheamus has a TON of charisma. If they ever really give him mic time as a face, I think it'll work out.
