SmackDown! spoilers are in for Friday’s show:
(1) Intercontinental champion Cody Rhodes beat Booker T to retain the IC Title. Cody hits the Beautiful Disaster kick for the win.
(2) Hornswoggle beat Heath Slater in an over-the-top-rope battle royal. Slater loses, beats down Hornswoggle after the “match,” but Justin Gabriel makes the save.
(3) Hunico (w/Camacho) beat Ted DiBiase via submission. Hunico went to work on Ted’s left arm and the end came when Hunico used a submission pin-type move. He trapped Ted’s arms with his legs like the Rings of Saturn, then rolled him over for the pin and crossed his feet.
Wade Barrett cut a promo saying Randy Orton is done and he will win the Royal Rumble while Orton sits at home and watches him win. Enter Sheamus. They went face-to-face, then Jinder Mahal ran out to help beat down Sheamus. Sheamus fought back, but Barrett hit the Black Hole Slam. This allowed Jinder to apply the Camel Clutch.
(4) Santino beat Drew McIntyre. Comedy match with ramifications for Drew with Teddy Long watching him.
(5) Epico & Primo (w/Rosa Mendes) beat WWE tag champions Air Boom (Kofi Kingston & Evan Bourne) in a non-title match.
Announced for next week: Sheamus vs. Jinder Mahal. (EPIC!)
(6) Tamina beat Natalya.
(7) World Heavyweight Championship: Daniel Bryan defeated Big Show via DQ after Mark Henry interfered. In an apparent twist, Henry might not be solely responsible for the DQ, as Bryan was egging Henry on and trying to get Mark to interfere.
