Dark Match

The Uso Brothers defeated Tyler Reks and Curt Hawkins.

WWE Smackdown Results (Airing Friday)

The Nebraska National Guard members in the front row scored the biggest pop of the night so far. Lilian Garcia came out and introduced the broadcast team.

The show started with Teddy Long introducing Elimination Chamber participants: Daniel Bryan, Wade Barrett, Big Show, Cody Rhodes, Mark Henry, and Randy Orton.

Henry came out after the announcement to complain about having only a one in six chance at the Chamber. He is the "big fish" and demands to be taken out of the chamber match. Instead, he wants a World Title match tonight. Teddy says he's out of the Chamber match, and there's no match tonight. Mark put his hands on teddy, and Teddy indefinitely suspended him. Mark threatened to get his moneys worth for a suspension. Sheamus came out and delivered a Brogue kick to knock out Henry, who eventually went goes to the back.

Teddy asked Sheamus what title he's going after. Sheamus said he hasn't decided yet. Cody came out and said he did all the work at the Rumble. Teddy made a match between Sheamus and Cody. Teddy did not specify a replacement for Henry at Chamber.

1. Sheamus pinned Cody Rhodes. The crowd was really behind Sheamus. Ray and Troy both noted that it was a good match.

2. Hunico (w/Camacho) vs. Justin Gabriel never got started. Cody was still hurting. He jumped Gabriel along with Hunico and Camacho. It was three on one until Great Khali made the save.

The Mike Tyson video aired. Troy notes that he still wishes he wouldn't have lost to Buster Douglas, as he was scheduled to be the guest referee on Saturday Night's Main Event back in 1990. Douglas replaced Tyson in that role.

Backstage, Drew McIntyre pleaded for his job with Long. Santino came in with a new tag team since Santoshi didn't do so well. This team is SantinOOOOO!! Santino and Hacksaw Jim Duggan. Duggan started a USA chant while Santino yelled "Italia." Aksana came in and noticed Teddys "big piece of wood" that Hacksaw left behind. Duggan looked at Aksana and let out a big "HOOO." This segment got a good laugh from the crowd.

3. Primo and Epico (w/Rosa Mendes) defeated Santino Marella and Jim Duggan. The tag champs won when Santino was going for The Cobra only to be distracted by Rosa Mendes.

Daniel Bryan came out and did his role model speech. He insulted Nebraskans for eating meat. Big heat. Big Show came out said he just got done eating a big steak in the back. Show ended up chokeslamming Bryan. A.J. stopped Show from hurting Bryan more.

4. Brodus Clay beat Heath Slater. Drew McIntyre came out and attacked Clay, who destroyed him. Troy said he's ready to turn the page in favor of a real feud.

5. Beth Phoenix and Natalya defeated Tamina and Aksana. Bathroom break. Beth and Natalya won clean.

It was announced that The Great Khali is replacing Mark Henry in the Elimination Chamber match. Another Rock and John Cena video played to hype WrestleMania 28, and then Randy Orton was interviewed by Josh Mathews.

6. Randy Orton defeated Wade Barrett. Orton and Barrett brawled out in the crowd right in front of Troy. He said it was wild action and featured chairs and tables. Orton won with the RKO. Jacob wrote that there was a lot of buildup to using the table but it broke before Orton could use it. Orton seemed pretty playful for going against the guy that put him on the shelf for two months. The intensity picked up towards the end though.

Daniel Bryan came out to celebrate and then left awkwardly. Teddy Long came out and announced Bryan vs. Orton for next week.

So Khali's Rumble appearance wasn't a one-off deal. Hmm.

Yeah, I heard on the Observer yesterday that he was back for a "short program"

I was sad when I read about Khali. I don't have an issue with the guy being around, but there's other guys who should be main eventing.

I thought Cody would be in for sure, but it looks like they're going with a feud with Justin Gabriel. Could be a good way to elevate Gabriel AND Rhodes

Cody IS in

You're talking about the elimination chamber match, right?

Oh you're right. Totally missed that

Weird

I would have rather seen Gabriel in it than Khali. Not sure if I've mentioned I don't believe Khali should be in this.

Well in that case, I don't think there's anyone else they could have thrown in there that has the star power. Maybe they'll have Christian return and somehow take Khali's spot

Khali > Kholi

#onlymeetdesimundagurudavewillgetthis

Christian was the other person I was thinking. Even Jinder would have almost been acceptable.

He was supposed to return at the Rumble, but they scrapped it for some reason, so he should be back any time now

I'll believe that when Ryan Clark states he's been reporting it for months now.

Was kind of hoping that Drew would get a last chance against someone like Sheamus as a qualifier for the chamber. He was the best thing at that PPV last year.

Happy about him being the first to destroy Brodus, but we all know who'll get the upper-hand on that feud.

Eliminator Chamber is shaping up to be an awesome fucking show.

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

i hate khali

Maybe they'll add Christian to the SD chamber and make this the first ever 7 man chamber match? Just have the match start as a triple threat and go from there.

I'm glad Ray and Troy both had a good time at the show.

Im pretty sure you misread - I see this as Clay Destroying Drew who ran in. Which doesnt do much for me.

who are Ray and Troy?

two guys who know their shit

lol yeah. I read another report (I swore it was this one) saying that Drew came in to attack Brodus, got destroyed, and then Brodus danced.

<font color=goldenrod>So is Khali going to be forced to start the match because he can't fit into one of the pods?</font>

They'll need to re-enforce it. Starting the match would mean The Great Khali wrestling in a match on PPV for at least 20 minutes. That would be a very bad thing.

I have a feeling Chrisitian comes back and somehow injures Khali and gets his spot. Or something else happens where Khali gets replaced.

Looking forward to Bryan vs. Orton next week, want to see if Orton just completely slacks it as he's been doing for months again.

roflllllll SD Chamber is garbage.

Well fuck. Think I was just reading what I wanted to read. Longer matches for both Drew and Brodus would be fantastic.

What? lol

Khali is the only weak link really. I'd hardly call it "garbage".

Elimination Chamber is about to be poppin'..the only thing that sucks is The Great Khali..WHY did they bring him back? Nobody cares about him..he cant even bend his knees..

ThE gReAt KhAlI nEeDs To Go!

WhY cAnT KhAlI jUsT gO aWaY!? OmGzZzZ!¿!¿ FmL!¿

I think Khali was put in to put over one of the Heels, most likely Rhodes. Build him up as a Monster in the Cage to have either Rhodes or I guess Barrett destroy him. That way even if they lose the match, still won't lose as much steam.

He won't be in there long, probably first one eliminated, and has no chance of winning it so I have no problem with him being in the match at all.

I bet he gets pinned or made to submit by Daniel Bryan. Would be something he can "heel it up" about pretty well.

So no Goldust/Cody match?

Also, why is Khali in the chamber? he just came back at the Rumble and he's already getting a shot at the world title???

It still surprises you that guys don't have to (kayfabe-wise) work their way to getting title shots?

More Christian...Less Khali
