OverviewSmackDown opens with for once the opening credit promo crap with Green's Do You Know the Enemy. Followed by WWE COO Triple H, coming out to talk about this weekend's Summerslam along with the Main Event. Then he goes on about loving to be in Vince's shoes running WWE. He follows up with announcing an Intercontinental Championship match, Ezekiel Jackson vs Cody Rhodes; a MitB Holder vs MitB Holder match, and matches for the World Heavyweight Champion competitors. Christian then interrupts Triple H, before he can announce Christian's opponent. Christian comes to the ring and says he's going to sue the WWE cause Randy Orton is unstable and he shouldn't be in a No Holds Barred match with him. Triple H retorts by saying the match is still gonna happen and schools Christian about how contracts work. Christian has a breakdown about Randy Orton's history with Triple H, where Triple H schools him again. Christian flips again where Triple H reveals that Sheamus is to face Christian tonight. Thus it was Game Over and we cut to Commerical!
We come back to World Heavyweight Champion, Christian vs Sheamus for our opening match. Sheamus quickly takes down Christian and applies a Outlaw Stomp, before the match spills outside the ring. Christian pushes Sheamus into the turnbuckle post a couple of time and beings working on the right shoulder. Sheamus breaks out beings putting a hurting on Christian, hitting several of his minor signature moves. Before being able to hit the Brogue Kick, Christian splits from the ring and Sheamus wins via a stupid count-out.
Next match is a Divas Tag Match, Beth Phoenix and Natalya against AJ and Kaitlyn. AJ & Kaitlyn are easily jobbed out since they're rookies. AJ is hit with the Glam Slam and Kaitlyn locked in a Sharpshooter. Then we get a quick promo for Raw's MitB Holder Alberto Del Rio facing SmackDown's MitB Holder Daniel Bryan.
SmackDown shows a promo for Sin Cara, then we cut to Zack Ryder and Teddy Long chatting. They're soon interrupted by Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase, followed by Aksana coming in to hit on Teddy. Eventually we come to a promo for Mark Henry being the most dominate superstar right now. After the promo, Johnny Curtis finds out his debut match is against Mark Henry. Leading into Sin Cara's return to SmackDown where he beats Tyson Kid.
Next match is the MitB Holder vs MitB Holder match. Daniel Bryan really puts on a show with Alberto Del Rio. Bryan did most of the work in the match before Del Rio locked in an Armbrecker. Bryan taps out to it and is attacked by Wade Barrett, where Barrett hit Bryan with a Wasteland. After a commerical break, we come to the Intercontinental Championship match and let me spoil this now cause I knew this since the taping, Cody Rhodes wins. Anyways Jackson, dominates the first few minutes before Cody and Ted begin playing games, leading to Cody's victory.
After the Incontinental Championship match, and Commerical Break we get the NFL-like promo for John Cena vs CM Punk at Summerslam. Following the promo, we get a run down of the Summerslam Matches. Then Randy Orton, has an interview with Matt Striker about the upcoming No Holds Barred match at Summerslam. Then we come to Mark Henry vs Johnny Curtis, where Mark Henry just overpowers Curtis. After the match Sheamus, comes to Curtis' save before Mark Henry could break his leg.
Finally we get to our Main Event, Randy Orton vs the Great Khali. Orton tries getting a few punches and Khali just flings Orton all about the ring. Khali, hits a Khali Chop, into the Vice Grip to the shoulder where Orton reverses the hold. Orton traps Khali in the ropes and gets in several kicks. A few mintues later Orton comes out of no where and lands a RKO on Khali and gets the pin. Christian comes out after the match to say at Summerslam everything is going to change, when it gets to the No Holds Barred match. Does this mean Tomko is back or something else?
Review:
Well this SmackDown sucked the matches weren't anything to compare to the Raw matches. Nothing really got good enough to amp the crowd up for Summerslam it seemed. There weren't any matches on the card worth mentioning, or really talking about. Hell the Intercontinental Championship match was pretty dumbed down, I mean it didn't seem really enough to how Cody won or that he won. The Divas' Tag Match could of been much better if they didn't job AJ and Kaitlyn. I mean they're barely even using AJ or Kaitlyn correctly at all, these two Divas could actually be good in the division and to job them for being rookies doesn't help Natalya or Beth rep as being dominate either. As a result this SmackDown only equals about 2 out of 5!
