Overview:
Smackdown opens with a huge promo featuring Mark Henry's domination of Smackdown before the intro starts up. Henry then starts the show by talking about his victories over Kane and Big Show, along with his Hall of Pain. Then Henry is cut off by Zac Ryder, and tries to make him a Broski while announcing that theres a no contact rule for him and Orton. Henry orders Ryder back into the ring, then asks him who'll win at Night of Champions where he tries to get out of the question. Ryder tries to get out of the way but is hit with a World's Strongest Slam. Ezekiel Jackson then makes his entrance to face Henry in the opening match.

Jackson and Ezekiel, face off and go for a power struggle clash. The two brawl about and Jackson tries to lock a Tourture Rack in, but fails.

After the match Randy Orton vs Cody Rhodes is promoted as Teddy Long runs into Aksana again. Then following the Aksana and Teddy Long, confrontation Sin Cara makes his entrance.

The Sin Cara match, is him beating down Tyson Kidd while the commentary talk about his dirty attack to Daniel Bryan. Sin Cara just mostly dominates Tyson Kidd in his usual way. The match is just plain boring cause the moves are just the same each week. After the match Josh Matthews has an interview with Sin Cara, who can now speak english! If anyone doesn't know this Sin Cara isn't Mystico he was recently replaced by Hunico due to the suspension. Then Bryan comes out and calls out Sin Cara for a rematch next week before being attacked and locked into his LaBell Lock.

Then Christian continues to complain about how he wants another match until Sheamus cuts him off. Sheamus then intimidates Christian completely to leave, while Wade Barrett makes his entrance. Yeah another battle of the UK'ers! They tie it up and stuggle before they began to brawl about the ring. The pace flips back and forth between the two, with Wade Barrett eventually over powering Sheamus for awhile. Then when Sheamus finally begins to get momentum Christian interferes, Sheamus brawls out and hits Wade with the Brogue Kick. Before Sheamus can hit the Celtic Cross on Christian, he breaks from the hold and runs from the ring.

Cody tries to his kick but misses and falls for a RKO. Following the match Mark henry makes his way down to the ring. Henry slams Orton down then, places a chair on his throat and sits down on him while taunting him.

Review:
Smackdown was slightly horrible, cause I didn't catch much of my attention. I thought the matches could've been greatly better. The promos also weren't even watchable at most times. Like this was just barely reaching a 3-Star Rating, and like probably hit a 2.5-Star Rating. The matches that are worth mentioning as the better matches were Barrett/Sheamus and Orton/Rhodes. Those two seemed to be great matches, just every time Barrett/Sheamus meet they've always ended horribly. I want the UK'ers to beat the living hell out of them. As for the matches that could've been greater should've been Henry/Jackson and Kelly/Natalya. My biggest complaints were they seemed too short and didn't have alot of counters or reversals. The Henry/Jackson match I wanted a battle of monsters not a Fat Strong man overpowering a Dominating guy like Jackson. As for the Divas, Kelly gave Natalya a run for her money earlier on but it didn't switch back and forth to gain a pop from the crowd. I really want the Divas to really step it up and be enough to rival some of the better Divas matches of yesterday. That's why this SmackDown hit a low of 2.5-Stars!
