From Neil Trama III:
Smackdown opened with Mark Henry on crutches selling the Pillmanizing from Show at Survivor Series. He said he was not cleared to wrestle and was being a role model for the kids by even showing up. Big Show came out to say he only did to Henry what Mark did to him. Mark responded by saying show would not get another title match because he is “the world’s largest athlete and the world’s largest loser.” Show gave him the knockout punch. This brought out Daniel Bryan with his briefcase and a ref. Bryan cashed in Money in the Bank, rolled over Henry and pinned him! NEW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!!
But no…this brought out Teddy Long. Because Mark was not cleared to wrestle, the match didn’t count. He took the belt off Bryan and gave it back to Mark. He made it up to Bryan by booking him in a three way with Wade, Orton, and Cody tonight where the winner gets Mizark next week on a live Tuesday night Smackdown for the title. (And Bryan gets to keep the briefcase.)
Still, at least for awhile we had this: http://twitpic.com/7i3ywt
Hunico beat Justin Gabriel with a swanton bomb. Nobody cared about this after what just happened.
Later tonight: Zack Ryder and Sheamus vs. Dolph Ziggler and Jack Swagger. This graphic did nothing to halt the “We Want Ryder” chants during every match and commercial break.
Beth Phoenix and Natalya beat AJ and Kaitlyn. AJ tapped to the sharpshooter quickly. Kaitlyn was pissed and walked out on her, allowing Beth to call for “cry time” while Natalya put the sharpshooter back on. Alicia Fox, who had been on commentary, broke it up. I guess they’re positioning Fox as the next title challenger.
Zack Ryder was playing the new video game when Sheamus wanted to talk about their match later. Ryder acted wacky and did his catchphrases then looked scared Sheamus was going to kill him but Sheamus just laughed at this goof. Ryder did his “woo woo woo” and Sheamus got all serious but then chuckled again and said “you know it.”
Zack Ryder and Sheamus beat Ziggler and Swagger. Vickie and Dolph promo before the match. Ziggler bragged about going 2-0 on Sunday. The match was long and decent. Zack hit his finisher and got the pin on Ziggler. Way better than Monday.
Mark Henry confronted Teddy Long about allowing Bryan to try to cash in earlier and then making the match next week. Teddy was scared to break it to him that next week will be a cage match.
Ted DiBiasi beat the returning Heath Slater with dreamstreet. Before the match Jinder Mahal called out DiBiasi for turning his back on his family and hanging out with commoners. That’s a story that will set the world on fire.
Cody Rhodes had words for Booker T backstage. He is not happy with Booker making fun of him on commentary during his matches. Evidently this is something that happens.
Daniel Bryan beat Randy Orton, Wade Barrett, and Cody Rhodes in a fatal fourway to earn the shot at Mark Henry in a cage next week. Crowd was hotter for Orton’s intro than Bryan “winning” the title. This made me sad. The crux of the match was Bryan getting beat up with pins being broken by Orton or one of the heels turning on the other. Bryan finally got the pin on Cody while Wade had Orton down outside. Afterwards Cody beat down Bryan until Orton snuck in to give him an RKO.
