SmackDown Spoilers! 7|31|12 "Introducing The Smackdown Anonymous General Manager"
Dark Match
Broadus Clay defeated a local wrestler in a squash. WWE Superstars Heath Slater vs. Tyson Kidd is the opener. Slater is really getting noticed, he got a nice amount from heat. Kidd came out to a nice pop and received lots of 'Tyson Kidd' chants. Tyson Kidd gets the win in a good match worth watching on WWE.COM. Natalya vs. WWE Divas Champion Layla is next. Good Divas match which Layla won, with lots of good offense from both women. Superstars Main Event is Cody Rhodes vs. Justin Gabriel. Good Match with lots of high flying action from Gabriel, but Cody gets the win with Cross Rhodes. ======================= SmackDown opens with the Chairman of the Board Vince McMahon, who announces that the new GM of SmackDown is a man who will call it down the middle... Booker T! Booker comes out to a nice pop. Alberto Del Rio comes out and starts talking. Out comes Sheamus, who tells Del Rio that he's happy about his upbringing and that he's not a rich punk like Del Rio. Booker tells Sheamus and Del Rio that they have single matches tonight before being stopped by Del Rio, who says he will not wrestle until SummerSlam. Booker tells Del Rio that he's the new boss and tonight he faces Randy Orton. Booker then tells Sheamus that he will face his opponent right now and it's... TENSAI. Sheamus defeated Tensai after Tensai misses a corner splash and Sheamus comes off ropes with a Brogue Kick. Sheamus is OVER in Indy! Eve is congratulating Booker T on being the new GM and offers her services to him. Teddy Long appears and Booker tells Teddy that he has big shoes to fill because Teddy was a great GM. Booker then offers Teddy to be the assistant GM which Teddy accepts. Eve is shocked and upset as Booker tells her he has no other openings in his administration, and has Teddy escort her out of his office. Antonio Cesaro comes out to the ring to say "Hello" to the WWE Universe in 5 different languages until he is interrupted by Santino Marella for the next match. Antonio Cesaro defeated United States Champion Santino Marella in a back-and-forth non-title match. Santino hit the cobra, but Cesaro's leg was under the rope. Cesaro took advantage and picked up the win. Chris Jericho, Christian and Kane vs. The Miz, Dolph Ziggler and Daniel Bryan is advertised for later tonight. Backstage Matt Striker is interviewing Daniel Bryan and they show the developing story between AJ and Bryan from RAW. Striker asks Bryan if he has anything to say and Daniel says NO! and displays a new "No, No, No" t-shirt. He says the people need to stop chanting "Yes!", and starts yelling "NO, NO, NO!" with the fans chanting "Yes! Yes! Yes!" Daniel Bryan, Dolph Ziggler and The Miz beat Kane, Christian and Chris Jericho. Vickie came out to a ton of heat and it was hard to hear her talk because the boo's wereso loud. Tons of "YES!" chants as Bryan made his entrance. Lots of "Y2J" chants as well. Good back and forth action with a tease of Jericho and Ziggler. Those two will have a nice fued. Jericho comes in on the hot tag and looks good. Match ends when Jericho has Bryan in the Walls of Jericho and Vickie distracts the ref and Ziggler runs in with the briefcase only to get a codebreaker. Daniel Bryan gets the roll up on Jericho for the win. Striker is backstage with Randy Orton. Orton guarantees he will hit Del Rio with an RKO tonight. It was announced that Survivor Series comes to Indianapolis for the first time on November 18, 2012. Tickets are on sale after the event. Jindal Mahal vs. Ryback is next and match ends quickly outside the ring by DQ when Mahal hits Ryback with the microphone and runs off. Backstage Prime Time Players are shown heading to the ring. R-Truth (w/Kofi Kingston) vs. Darren Young (w/ Titus O'Neal and AW) is next. AW was mic'd up at ringside. Kofi and AW get into it outside of the ring before Titus catches Kofi with a clothesline, distracting Truth. Young hits the gut buster and picks up the win. Backstage Booker is shown on his phone and plans to take care of business as GM. Layla walks in to congratulate him when they are interrupted by Cody Rhodes, who questions Booker T as GM and tells him not to call him "Sucka." Booker calls him "Sucka" anyway and tells him that he will face Sin Cara next week. Layla and Booker finish talking as we head back to the ring. Main event time! Randy Orton comes out to a nice ovation followed by Ricardo Rodriguez, who introduces Alberto Del Rio. Lots of "Orton" chants throughout the match. Del Rio does a good job of keeping Orton grounded during the bout. Orton gets his second win and is preparing for an RKO when Ricardo runs in, causing a DQ. Del Rio attacks Orton's arm, but Orton fights him off and sends him outside the ring. As Del Rio tries to leave, Sheamus runs out and throws Del Rio back in the ring where he gets an RKO! End of show. ![]() Grand Champ of the Arcade: 6/26/15 - 4/09/20 4/14/20 - Present Last edited by Savio; 07-31-2012 at 10:15 PM. |

Sheamus vs. Tensai is the match I want it to be. Fucking awesome. First time I'm excited about SmackDown in over 5 years.

The six man tag seems good. The World Title match at Summerslam needs alot of tweaking. It better not stay Sheamus vs. Del Rio. Who cares? I'd add Orton and Mysterio to the match to make it entertaining to watch. I can see Orton somehow getting added.

Now would be a good time to get the commentary team back to Josh Matthews and Matt Striker... not going to happen though.

I bet the newest match invention ends up being a "Fav Five" match. No more Fatal Four-ways ever on Smackdown while Booker T is in charge.

Booker T channeling a bit of WCW President Ric Flair in the opening promo. Could be a great GM. Looks like Alberto is going grey. Might actually be the most interesting thing going on with his character right now.
Tensai is stealing Jinder Mahal's gimmick. |

Hopefully they'll get the US belt off Santino soon. Cesaro seems like a good enough choice. I could even see him ditching it and bringing back the European title, even if it's only temporary.
Albert / Sheamus and the six man tag match were good stuff. Bryan just gets better and better. Babyface old school Jericho is back too ![]() In other news Jinder Mahal is still really boring and in a program with Ryback. Ryback's promo wasn't terrible though. |

What I wish they would do with the U.S. title is have Cesaro get a title match next week and get upset by Santino. Afterwards, he attacks Santino and injures him. Santino ends up having to forfeit the title in this big overly dramatic comedy segment with Santino holding a "going away" party for the U.S. title.
Then have the title go up for grabs in a battle royal at SummerSlam which is won by a returning Wade Barrett. |

Great show this week. 3 really solid main event matches, and the most star studded episode of Smackdown I've seen in a long time. I noticed they decided to move the new Raw set over to Smackdown too, which give it a nice new feel. Hopefully with Booker as GM this can be a fresh start for Smackdown and they'll start giving a fuck about it again. I thought Cole and Josh surprisingly worked great together, I'm happy for that team to stay as it is. Booker was funny on commentary, but that three man team didn't work very well at all in my opinion.

I would love to watch Sheamus/Tensai on PPV frankly. Those two going so hard at it was pretty great to watch.

Seriously, as much as I love Ziggler, when Del Rio got injured just before No Way Out, they could have saved Sheamus vs Ziggler. Tensai had beaten Punk and Cena and had only lost one match to Cena at that point and could have been seen as a legitimate threat to Sheamus. Having them just brawl for like 15 minutes on PPV would have been awesome and made Sheamus look badass when he came out on top at the end.

Sheamus vs. Tensai was really great. I like Booker T, but I'm glad he's off commentary. I'd love to see Matt Striker return to the booth, but like Show Off, I won't hold my breath.

I don't know if I'm still just a stickler for giving the shows different feels as if there's still REALLY a roster split but I wish Cole would just do Raw and have Smackdown be Josh Matthews and William Regal. Striker can be the Mean Gene style interviewer on both shows and commentate Superstars with Scott Stanford. He's the "next big thing" as far as color commentators. He should be around after Regal and Lawler are done so he'll get his chance.

And Santino manages to let writers make a joke of him, even while holding a belt... I'm confused.
