SmackDown Spoilers for 8/20/2010

Was a really good show, actually. I didn't read the spoilers, so I was pleasantly surprised by a lot.

Alberto Del Rio seems like a star. He got some really good heat just by showing up. He also got a JBL-esque entrance, coming out in a Rolls Royce with a shower of pyro. He also had his own personal ring announcer. The finish of his match with Rey came out of nowhere, as he kicked the arm of Mysterio after chop blocking him off the top rope, and then spun into the arm breaker. Was really quite vicious. The shock of Matt Striker and the crowd made it seem like a great moment, too.

Kofi Kingston won by disqualification because Vickie Guerrero shoved him off the top rope as he was making a comeback. Ziggler then attacked Kofi, but Kofi started whooping ass until Vickie got in between them and started shrieking, but then taunted Kofi because "he can't touch her." Ziggler then attacked Kofi from behind, and hit him with the Zig Zag in the ring, slapped on the Sleeper Hold, and then hit this really sick stomp to the head. Like...really sick.

Hornswoggle didn't even say anything in his segment. He was just hiding in a bush. Nothing to get offended at.

Serena didn't get the win with the GTS, but with a fireman's carry gutbuster (which Todd Grisham alluded to being a tribute to the GTS).

Christian and Drew McIntyre's match was fantastic, and Cody Rhodes came out for commentary. Christian managed to get the win with a crucifix out of nowhere, and was weary of Rhodes, but when he turned his attention to McIntyre, Rhodes attacked. Matt Hardy limped out for the save, but he got beaten down by the heels after hitting a side effect on Rhodes. McIntyre hit Hardy with the Future Shock and Rhodes hit Christian with Cross Rhodes. It seems we're building to a tag team match.

Kane's promo was really quite good, and had clips of his past with The Undertaker thrown in. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I'm glad that Kane is getting the biggest push of his life right now.

Jack Swagger was on the show. He was in a backstage segment where he was whining, and it was revealed he was talking to the uber-hot Rosa Mendes, who wasn't really listening. MVP then confronted Swagger, told him to stop whining, and it seems like a repeat of the Matt Hardy/MVP stuff, with Swagger and MVP agreeing to a Jack Swagger, Sr. Invitational next week (amateur style, I think), where if Swagger wins -- Jack gets to host the VIP Lounge. If MVP wins, then he's going to throw a big end of summer party, and Swagger's picking up the tab. Serious.
