WWE SD Spoilers for this Friday
 

Here are this Friday’s WWE SmackDown! tapings results.

– Smackdown opened with Smackdown GM Teddy Long and Vickie Guerrero on the video screen. Long said it’s been a whirlwind couple of he weeks. Long then explained an eight-man ]Money in the Bank concept match for the next PPV. He said the winner can cash it in for a World Title match.

Vickie spoke, but the crowd was so loud that I couldn’t hear what she said. Drew McIntyre then stepped in and threatened Teddy Long. Long tells Drew that he has full power over the show. Long then re-instated Matt Hardy and booked Hardy vs. McIntyre for tonight.

– The Smackdown intro aired and pyro went off. Big Show comes to the ring as they showed that Kane vs. C.M. Punk has been booked for a No DQ match tonight.

Jack Swagger came out on the ramp and said he’s protesting how WWE treated him at the Fatal Four-Way PPV. He said he’s not happy about his World Title loss. And he’s cashing in his re-match against Rey Mysterio at the MITB PPV. Swagger vs. Show is next.

(1) Big Show beat Jack Swagger via DQ. Show hit a huge superplex on Swagger at the beginning of the match. Swagger eventually locked in a Kurt Angle-style anklelock and Show struggled to the ropes. He grabbed the ropes, but Swagger refused to let go. The ref called for a DQ and Big Show won. Swagger left the ring as show struggled to his feet. The refs helped him to his feet and carried him (yes, carried Show) to the back as the crowd cheered.

– A video package aired on the Archer/Hawkins win over Christian/MVP last week.

(2) Christian & MVP & IC champion Kofi Kingston beat Dolph Ziggler & Vance Archer & Curt Hawkins in a six-man tag match. Decent match with a few believable nearfalls. In the end, MVP and Kofi cleared out Hawkins and Archer, then Christian hit the Killswitch on Ziggler for the win to a huge pop from the live audience. Other notes: Kofi got a nice New England reaction. Also, the side opposite the hard camera is still about three-fourths full. Still seeing many scattered empty seats.

– A backstage video aired on Kane talking to an empty casket. He yelled that he’s going to decapitate the head of the SES tonight in his No DQ match against C.M. Punk. He then slammed the casket closed.

– Matt Hardy was shown making his way to the ring for his match against Drew McIntyre.

(3) Matt Hardy beat Drew McIntyre. Hardy was thrown to the outside at the beginning of the match. McIntyre stood in the ring as the crowd chanted, “You can’t wrestle” and “U-S-A.” Drew then dominated as “Hardy” chants began. At least this wasn’t a throwaway match for all this build-up they’ve done with this feud. Drew eventually had Hardy on the steel steps and was about to stomp on his arm, but Hardy tripped him and Drew landed on the steps. Back in the ring, Hardy hit the Twist of Fate for the win as the crowd cheered.

– Teddy Long then came on the video screen and said, “Drew, sorry you didn’t win the match, playa. Looks like somebody’s Visa has expired. Somebody is in the country illegally. Send Mr. McIntyre back to Scotland.” Drew is pissed. “Na na na na hey hey hey goodbye” chants begin as Drew argues with Striker and refs. Drew stood at the top of the ramp as the crowd waved and chanted, “U-S-A.”

– Cody Rhodes came out with Husky Harris to cut a promo on his good looks. He asked the crowd which Superstar is the best-looking and they showed a graphic with Rhodes winning. Who voted? Confusing. He said Harris is an average man who can’t help how he looks. Good quote from Rhodes to an audience member: “USA can literally hear you getting fatter.” Rhodes then picked on Tony Chimel before doing the “hammock pose” on the top turnbuckle ala Chris Jericho. Rhodes kept repeating how good looking he is, then he called himself “Dashing Cody Rhodes” over and over and over again.

– Vickie Guerrero was then shown on the big screen with Dolph Ziggler. Ziggler is unhappy with his relationship with her. He said he gives and gives, so now he wants a title match. “Make it happen,” he said as he left. Vickie stared at a picture of Dolph and her.

– Rosa Mendes was then shown jump-roping in the ring as Kelly Kelly was introduced. I decided to take a break at this point. … I returned as the Kane vs. C.M. Punk No DQ match was starting.

(5) Kane vs. C.M. Punk went to a No Contest in a No DQ match. Kane threw Punk into the barricades on the floor to start. Straight Edge Society then ran out trying to attack Kan with onjects, but Kane gained control and eventually chokeslammed Gallows through the announce table. He threw Punk into the front row and Punk took off into the crowd.

– Kane followed closely behind as they brawled through the arena. Kane caught up to him and chokeslammed him through another table as the crowd looked on and cheered. Punk then opened the front door of the building and ran across the street to outside the Verizon Arena while in his wrestling gear. Kane chased him down as I believe Smackdown went off the air.








SO Midget wins the World title, but then doesnt appear the SD after

Maybe he hurt himself putting his pants on....

Yeah, totally unheard of

They should retape Punk running out by adding Santino to the end of it, making it look like he's running Kane out.

These spoilers tripped me out in a big way. Xero's comment especially.

I like the Swagger sounds like a beast against Big Show. This is how they need to book him now that he lost the World Title. I'm looking forward to Rey Mysterio vs. Jack Swagger at Money in the Bank. Keep in mind that Rey has a bad knee right now. Yeah, perhaps they shouldn't have put the World Title on him, but the show sounds serviceable enough without him.

Parity booking can work both ways sometimes. Archer & Hawkins looked good last week. Perhaps they just could have jumped The Hart Dynasty after they make a rare SmackDown! appearance? I'm actually looking forward to the six-man tag, and I'm glad it was the more established Ziggler who took the fall. I hope Hawkins & Archer work as a tandem. Christian getting the pin gives me hope that he'll be in MITB, too.

You know, Matt Hardy doesn't look nearly as bad when he is wearing a shirt like the good ol' days. The match between him and Drew McIntyre sounds good, and I think Hardy needed to win in his return, but I would have had these two face each other at Money in the Bank, since you'll have about eight guys in a Ladder Match. Surely their program warrants PPV time. It almost seems like they're pulling the plug on McIntyre, which I hope is not the case. He's a serviceable talent with a bright future.

The Cody Rhodes segment seems...weird. They've been trying to find some sort of "gimmick" for Rhodes, but I liked him when he just showed up on SmackDown! and started springboard kicking fuckers. What's wrong with him being a sour-puss old-school heel? There's potential for a face turn down the line then. This "Dashing" Cody Rhodes stuff sounds pretty forced, but we'll see how it goes.

Ziggler seems like he will be the next Intercontinental Champion. Perhaps he and Kofi Kingston will have a match at Money in the Bank (despite Kofi seemingly being expected for the actual MITB match)?

So why does Kane think it was the SES? I hope CM Punk gets into MITB.

I can't wait to see the SES attack Kane with foreign onjects!!!

Well, even though logic clearly dictates it was Rey in some sort of clever, unexplained ambush, I'm guessing the thought is running through Kane's demented mind that the SES must have taken out his brother because of the whole "power in numbers" thing. Either that, or they'll find some stupid alibi that lets the SES off the hook, and find a way to make it look like Kane himself "diabolically" schemed to take out his more talented brother, because he's always been forced to be in the shadows of his brother his whole career, or something.

If I had to guess though, I'd say they'll probably end up going with the whole "Kane was just using other people as a scapegoat to cover his own ass" argument.

Oh, I have no doubt it will go that way, but my initial reluctance to get into this is because he suddenly went with CM Punk being the culprit after not being entirely sure who did it. I guess it's just "Kane is crazy" and I'm trying to find too much logic in it.

I was just at this event last night, and it was pretty good I thought.

Were any of these matches MITB qualifiers?

sounds like a much better show than last week.

just finished watching it, very entertaining show imo

all matches were quite good, and the ending to the main event was hilarious

i kind of liked the cody ring segment, an put him with husky that was gold, an goofing onad and brother, thats a good set up for a goldust fued.

No. The story is Theodore Long and Vickie Guerrero are evaluating talent over the next two weeks to see which eight guys they will allow into the eight-man SmackDown! Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Although nothing was said, I think Big Show's "injury" and Drew McIntyre's "visa" will explain why they are not in the match. So far, it seems like it will be something like Christian vs. CM Punk vs. Cody Rhodes vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. Kane vs. Kofi Kingston vs. Matt Hardy vs. MVP.

Drew McIntyre and Matt Hardy's match was really good. I'm not getting the complaints on McIntyre. He gets good heat, and when he's charged with having a good match he has a really good match. Maybe they'll bring him back under a mask, or something. Get Abraham Washington or Byron Saxton to do the talking for him. He could be pretty intimidating that way, actually.

The Cody Rhodes segment wasn't that bad. There was something weird about it, though. It seems unnatural, and not in the good way that Swagger's promos sometimes are. It's giving him a chance to show off some personality, though, but I'd prefer him to just be Cody Rhodes and go after the IC Title.

Drew McIntyre is going to come back as Mr. Scotland

Just saw Smackdown and a little thing missed in here: Alberto del Rio. I had no idea honesty was a gimmick, but he has like the most mexican voice I have heard in a long while. Let's see how his promo's go along, as the last person who's such promo's I liked was Maryse :lol:



Wait, why am I getting the ugly "Last edited by..." thing even when I am within the 20 minute rule?

I wish they would have kept the mask on Dos Caras

Not so sure that would have gone well with the TV audience given his height. Besides he was working dark matches for Raw all this while and so I was kinda pissed off to see him on Smackdown.
