WWE SmackDown Results: September 7, 2012

Brogue No?

Nine nights before Night of Champions, the 681st edition of WWE Friday Night SmackDown came to you from the i wireless Center in Moline, IL. Two of the most popular international Superstars in WWE history would join forces as “The Master of the 619” Rey Mysterio would team with “The International Sensation” Sin Cara to face the team of Intercontinental Champion The Miz and the mask-obsessed Cody Rhodes. Also, after he “took a bullet” for Alberto Del Rio by getting himself blasted with a Brogue Kick from Sheamus, Ricardo Rodriguez has apparently gotten himself some legal representation in the form of the Harvard Law graduate, David Otunga, as Rodriguez intends to sue Sheamus and the entire WWE and, on SmackDown, David Otunga would speak on his client’s behalf.

Match Results

Rey Mysterio & Sin Cara def. Cody Rhodes & The Miz by Rey Mysterio pinning The Miz following the 619 & Bullet Splash.
Zack Ryder def. Daniel Bryan by the referee reversing the decision.
Randy Orton def. Damien Sandow (with Dolph Ziggler) by intentional count-out.
#1 Contenders’ Triple Threat Tag Match: The Prime Time Players def. Primo & Epico and Jimmy & Jey Uso by Darren Young pinning Primo following the Superfly Splash. As a result, The Prime Time Players are the new #1 Contenders for the WWE Tag Team Titles.
Wade Barrett def. Yoshi Tatsu by pin following an elbow strike to the head.
Non-Title: Sheamus def. David Otunga by submission to the Texas Cloverleaf.

Match Results

After Ricardo Rodriguez took the Brogue Kick on RAW, SmackDown kicks off with Alberto Del Rio, David Otunga, and Ricardo Rodriguez as Del Rio and Otunga assist Ricardo Rodriguez, who was sporting a neck brace following the attack. Del Rio states that he is on the roll of his career, picking up wins over Randy Orton, Kane, and John Cena over the last couple of weeks. Del Rio continues that he could easily beat Sheamus at Night of Champions if it was down to brains and skill, but Sheamus has an advantage because he has something “more dangerous than a steel chair” in the Brogue Kick. Del Rio proclaims that the Brogue Kick should be “banned”, saying that kicking someone in the head is a “criminal act”. Del Rio continues that Ricardo Rodriguez is not only his personal ring announcer, but he is his only “friend”. Del Rio says that his cross armbreaker is like “poetry”, but the Brogue Kick is a criminal act. Ricardo Rodriguez’s legal counsel, the Harvard Law graduate David Otunga, then says that what happened to Rodriguez was “no accident” as Sheamus uses the Brogue Kick with the intent to maim. Otunga continues that, if the WWE allows Sheamus to continue using the Brogue Kick, then it is a joke, saying that they have talked to SmackDown General Manager Booker T and they demanded “justice”. Otunga is then interrupted by the man in charge on Friday nights, SmackDown General Manager Booker T. Booker says that, what they said in his office, was supposed to be confidential, but now he has taken their case to the people. Booker then polls the audience, asking the crowd if he should ban the Brogue Kick with the fans supporting the Brogue Kick remaining a legal move, which prompts the GM to rule that the Brogue Kick is still legal.

The opening match of the night saw the new team of “The Master of the 619” Rey Mysterio and “The International Sensation” Sin Cara face the team of the mask-obsessed Cody Rhodes and Intercontinental Champion The Miz. During the match, Cody Rhodes would inadvertently land a kick on his own tag team partner, The Miz. This would allow the masked duo to take advantage as Rey Mysterio hits the 619 on The Miz en route to pinning the Intercontinental Champion to pick up the win for himself and Sin Cara.

After hugging it out led to duking it out with Kane on RAW, Daniel Bryan would go one-on-one with Zack Ryder on SmackDown. During the match, there would be a standstill between Daniel Bryan and Zack Ryder as Bryan asks Ryder to “hug it out” with him. Ryder reluctantly hugs Bryan, but it was all a ploy as Bryan locks in the No Lock on Ryder, forcing Ryder to tap out to pick up the win. After the match, Bryan’s anger would get the better of him and Bryan would again lock in the No Lock on Ryder, but Bryan’s actions would force the referee to reverse the match decision, awarding Ryder the win!

Before the next match can begin, “The Intellectual Savior of the Masses” Damien Sandow comes out, saying that Booker T put him a match that he was not ready for last week. Sandow explains that he needs to time to find his opponent’s weaknesses and exploit them before saying that the social media universe has been calling him a “coward”, but his actions were “intelligent”. Sandow continues that those who send their feelings via social media are the true cowards, saying that nobody has the guts to call him a coward to his face. Sandow is then interrupted by “The Viper” Randy Orton, who says that he is not out there to join in on the discussion, he is there to “fight” and he has told Booker T that he wants to change his scheduled match so that he can fight Sandow! Despite Sandow’s objections, the match gets underway as “Mr. Money-in-the-Bank” Dolph Ziggler and his manager, Vickie Guerrero, make their way to ringside as Dolph is a guest on commentary for the match. In a repeat of last week, Damien Sandow would flee the ring, opting to take a count-out loss to Randy Orton. After the match, Orton would confront Dolph Ziggler and “The Viper” would strike with a right hand before rolling Dolph into the ring, but as Orton looks ready to RKO Ziggler, Damien Sandow returns to the ring and gets the RKO for his trouble while Dolph is able to make a quick escape.

Backstage, David Otunga continues to plead his case to Booker T over the dangers of the Brogue Kick with the GM saying that he will think about it. However, Booker would then put Otunga in a one-on-one match against World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus!

With WWE Tag Team Champions R-Truth & Kofi Kingston guests on commentary, the #1 Contenders for the WWE Tag Team Titles would be determined on SmackDown as Jimmy & Jey Uso, Primo & Epico, and The Prime Time Players would face off in a Triple Threat Tag Match with the winning team earning the #1 Contenders’ spot. In the end, it was Darren Young hitting the double knee gutbuster on Primo and Jey Uso capitalizing with the Superfly Splash. However, Darren Young would toss Jey Uso off of the cover, taking the pinfall for himself to pick up the win for The Prime Time Players, earning Darren Young & Titus O’Neil the #1 Contenders’ spots.

Backstage, Dolph Ziggler confronts Booker T’s Senior Advisor, Theodore Long, demanding a match with Randy Orton at Night of Champions. Long says that, despite neither Dolph or Orton being a current champion, he will “advise” Booker to make the match.

After months away from the WWE due to a dislocated shoulder, the “Barrett Barrage” was back in effect on SmackDown as the bareknuckle brawler, Wade Barrett went one-on-one with Yoshi Tatsu. In the end, it was Wade Barrett blasting Yoshi Tatsu with a vicious elbow to the skull en route to picking up the win. After the match, Wade Barrett says that, if he is not going to be instantly put back into the title picture, he is going to do something that will make things more “interesting” for himself. Barrett then proclaims that “Wade Barrett is open for business”.

Then it was time for the main event as, with #1 Contender Alberto Del Rio at ringside, World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus went one-on-one with the man leading the crusade to get his Brogue Kick banned, David Otunga. During the match, Sheamus was moments away from victory as he measured David Otunga for the Brogue Kick, but SmackDown General Manager Booker T comes out to reluctantly announce that, given the evidence, he has no choice but to ban the Brogue Kick! With the Brogue Kick banned, Sheamus would utilize the newest move in his arsenal, locking in the Texas Cloverleaf on David Otunga, forcing the Harvard Law graduate to tap out as the World Heavyweight Champion picks up the win.

WWE RAW Results: September 3, 2012

Paul E. Accessory.

Two weeks before Night of Champions, the 1006th edition of WWE Monday Night RAW came to you, live, from the Allstate Arena in CM Punk’s hometown of Chicago, IL. With a title defense against John Cena looming at Night of Champions and one week after the uncomfortable brutalizing of Jerry “The King” Lawler inside the steel cage, WWE Champion CM Punk would go one-on-one with World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus in a non-title Champion vs. Champion match. Also, the respective #1 Contenders for the WWE and World Heavyweight Titles would square off on RAW as the #1 Contender for the WWE Title, John Cena, faces the #1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Title, Alberto Del Rio.

Match Results

Dolph Ziggler def. Randy Orton by roll-up with the tights.
Sin Cara & Rey Mysterio def. Cody Rhodes & Tensai by Sin Cara pinning Cody Rhodes following the Swanton Bomb.
Non-Title: Sheamus def. Jack Swagger by submission to the Texas Cloverleaf.
Eve def. Kaitlyn by pin following the swinging neckbreaker.
Ryback def. Jinder Mahal by pin following Shell Shocked.
United States Championship: Antonio Cesaro (c) (with Aksana) def. Santino Marella by pin following the Neutralizer to retain.
Falls Count Anywhere: Alberto Del Rio (with CM Punk) def. John Cena by pin following a kick to the skull by CM Punk.

Detailed Results

RAW would kick off with Michael Cole explaining that Jerry “The King” Lawler was not out there with him due to a backstage brawl that took place moments before RAW went on the air. During the brawl, the Hall of Famer would hold his own against WWE Champion CM Punk, but a boot to the face of “The King” would knock Lawler down before referees were finally able to restrain the WWE Champion.

The show would then officially get underway with World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus, who says that the “party will end” for Alberto Del Rio at Night of Champions. However, the World Heavyweight Champion would barely get the words out of his mouth before Chicago’s own WWE Champion, CM Punk, interrupts, soaking in the ovation from the hometown crowd. Punk tells Sheamus that Chicago cannot relate to a guy like Sheamus, but they can relate to a guy like him. The WWE Champion claims that Jerry Lawler attacked him from behind backstage, saying that he beat up the Hall of Famer “Chicago style” and, last week, he gave Lawler a lesson in “respect”. Punk continues that John Cena got involved in his business last week, saying that Lawler said several weeks ago that Punk turned his back on the fans. Punk then says that Cena is agreeing with Jerry Lawler and, if that is the case, then Cena is “disrespecting” Punk, saying that Cena has turned his back on the fans. Sheamus then interrupts Punk’s rant, saying that at least The Rock had the guts to confront Punk in the ring on the 1,000th episode of RAW before the World Heavyweight Champion dares the WWE Champion to come into the ring. Punk says that he already beat up one “goon” and, in the pecking order of the WWE, Sheamus is second best, telling Sheamus to shut his mouth! Sheamus tells Punk that Punk is talking out of his “arse”. Punk begins to respond before he is interrupted by RAW General Manager AJ Lee, who says that she means no disrespect, but she has an announcement to make. The GM then announces that John Cena will face Alberto Del Rio and, in a Champion vs. Champion match, WWE Champion CM Punk will face World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus.

The opening match of the night was a rematch from SmackDown as “The Viper” Randy Orton went one-on-one with “Mr. Money-in-the-Bank” Dolph Ziggler, with Vickie Guerrero in his corner. In the end, it was Dolph Ziggler going counter-for-counter with Randy Orton, finally getting a roll-up on “The Viper”, hooking Orton’s tights for added leverage to pick up the win.

RAW also featured footage of week two of the anger management classes for Daniel Bryan and Kane as the doctor asks Daniel Bryan to present his anger collage. Bryan shows a piece of paper with “yes” and “no” written all over it, explaining that when he screams “yes”, the fans chant “yes” and when he chants “no”, they still chant “yes”. Dr. Shelby then asks Kane to show his anger collage and “The Big Red Monster” shows a blank piece of paper before saying that he will show the doctor how he feels inside, tossing the paper in a trashcan and lighting it on fire! Bryan responds by calling Kane a “teacher’s pet”.

With Intercontinental Champion The Miz joining Michael Cole on commentary, “The Master of the 619” Rey Mysterio would team with “The International Sensation” Sin Cara as the masked duo would face the team of Cody Rhodes and the destructive Tensai, with Sakamoto in their corner. In the end, it was Rey Mysterio hitting the 619 on Cody Rhodes, setting Rhodes up for a Swanton Bomb by Sin Cara, who pins Rhodes to pick up the win for the masked team.

Back at anger management, Dr. Shelby asks the participants to move their chairs back for a trust exercise, asking Kane and Daniel Bryan to do a trust fall with Daniel Bryan falling backwards and Kane actually catching him! The doctor then asks anger management participant Harold to have both Kane and Daniel Bryan catch him, but the trust fall falls short as Kane and Bryan intentionally let Harold hit the floor! Bryan then says that he thinks that he finally “understands” Kane.

It was then scheduled to be a Champion vs. Champion match between WWE Champion CM Punk and World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus, but after Sheamus comes out, ready to compete, Punk comes out still in his street clothes. The WWE Champion explains that Chicago understands that Punk is “nothing less” than a main event wrestler and they all “respect” his decisions. Punk then says that a lot of the Chicago fans have taken the day for Labor Day and that is exactly what he is doing before the WWE Champion exits the ring, walking to the back! Sheamus then says that Punk is disrespecting the fans by refusing to compete. Backstage, AJ Lee tries to stop CM Punk from leaving the arena, but the WWE Champion tells the GM to check his contract, saying that he is taking a “personal day” before Punk gets in a car and leaves the arena! A stressed out AJ Lee then tells Matt Striker that she will find an opponent for Sheamus.

With CM Punk walking out on the scheduled Champion vs. Champion match against World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus, RAW General Manager AJ Lee would have to find a last minute opponent for Sheamus and, with the #1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Title, Alberto Del Rio, a guest on commentary, World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus would go one-on-one with Jack Swagger in a non-title match. In the end, it was Sheamus pulling a new move out of his arsenal, locking in the Texas Cloverleaf on Jack Swagger, making Swagger tap out to pick up the win. After the match, Alberto Del Rio would use a distraction by Ricardo Rodriguez to try and attack Sheamus, but the World Heavyweight Champion would fight back, knocking Rodriguez out of the way before hitting White Noise on the #1 Contender. However, when Sheamus goes for the Brogue Kick, Rodriguez shoves Del Rio out of the way, taking the Brogue Kick for his employer!

Two weeks before she challenges Layla for the Divas Title, Kaitlyn would go one-on-one with the Assistant to the SmackDown General Manager, Eve, with Divas Champion Layla a guest on commentary. In the end, it was Eve hitting a swinging neckbreaker on Kaitlyn en route to picking up the win. After the match, Eve exits the ring to shake the hand of a reluctant Layla.

Backstage, RAW General Manager AJ Lee catches up with Jack Swagger, who informs the GM that he is taking some “extended” time off. AJ begs Swagger to stay, saying that Brock Lesnar, Chris Jericho, and CM Punk have already “left” her, but Swagger says “sorry” before exiting the arena.

Back at anger management, Dr. Shelby congratulates his students on completing anger management, saying that he is especially proud of Daniel Bryan and Kane. Bryan then addresses the class, saying that he now realizes that he did have an anger issue, but now he is over it and would be glad to face Kane in a SummerSlam rematch any time Kane wants it. Kane says that, someday, he will gladly accept the challenge and he will try his best to not “eviscerate” him, but Bryan says that it will be tough for Kane to eviscerate him if Kane is tapping out. Kane says that it will be tough for Bryan to make him tap out if he makes it so Bryan cannot even leave the room. The confrontation between the two causes Dr. Shelby to lose his cool as the doctor screams at both men that they have learned “nothing” before Dr. Shelby storms out of the room!

Backstage, Matt Striker is trying to get an update from Alberto Del Rio about the condition of Ricardo Rodriguez, but David Otunga comes out of the trainer’s room, saying that his “client” will not be speaking at this time. Has David Otunga found himself a new client? Will Del Rio or Rodriguez sue Sheamus or the WWE?

“The Sin City Cyborg” was in action on RAW as the undefeated Ryback went one-on-one with Jinder Mahal. In the end, it was another dominant victory for “The Sin City Cyborg” as Ryback hits Shell Shocked on Jinder Mahal en route to picking up the win.

Backstage, a stressed AJ Lee tells Matt Striker to inform John Cena and Alberto Del Rio that their main event match will now be a Falls Count Anywhere Match!

The WWE fans would decide the next step for Daniel Bryan and Kane via #RAWactive as the fans would vote for the two rivals to either face each other in a match, team with each other in a match, or “hug it out”. With 55% of the vote, Kane and Daniel Bryan would have to settle their issues with a hug in the middle of the ring! The two Superstars would be extremely reluctant to even make friendly contact, but after a couple of chest bumps, Bryan would manage to hug Kane. Then it was Kane’s turn to hug Daniel Bryan back with “The Big Red Monster” awkwardly hugging Daniel Bryan. With a referee officiating the bizarre moment between the two, Kane and Daniel Bryan would finally and truly “hug it out” before shaking hands. The two would then exchange friendly slaps on the shoulder, but the slaps would get more and more aggressive, leading to Daniel Bryan shoving Kane and Kane shoving back. The shoving match continues before all the anger management classes go out the window as Daniel Bryan delivers kicks to Kane, sending Kane to the outside. However, Kane would gain the advantage, hurling Bryan into the ringside barricade. Kane then grabs a steel chair, ramming it into the mid-section of Bryan before chokeslamming Bryan in the center of the ring. Kane then places the chair around the neck of Bryan, but referees prevent Kane from compacting Bryan’s skull. Bryan then gets a hold of the chair, driving it into the shoulder of “The Big Red Monster” before making a quick escape from the ring.

After losing the United States Title on the SummerSlam Pre-Show, Santino Marella would get his rematch as Santino would challenge Antonio Cesaro, with Aksana in his corner, for the United States Title. In the end, it was Antonio Cesaro hitting the Neutralizer on Santino Marella en route to picking up the win and successfully retaining the United States Title.

“The Long Island Iced Z” was in action on RAW as Zack Ryder went one-on-one with Heath Slater. In the end, it was Zack Ryder hitting the Rough Ryder Leg Lariat on Heath Slater en route to picking up the win. Ryder would get no time to celebrate, however, as Vickie Guerrero comes out, saying that she is not going to leave the ring until AJ Lee comes out there. Vickie then demands that she gets a chair to sit in, which she receives as Vickie awaits the arrival of the RAW General Manager. As Vickie awaits the arrival of AJ Lee, Vickie pulls a Clint Eastwood by talking to an empty chair. The stressed AJ Lee finally makes her way to the ring as the GM reveals the WWE Board of Directors has reprimanded her for her recent actions and have warned her to never put her hands on anyone ever again. AJ says that the Board of Directors also want her to apologize as the GM apologizes to everyone. Vickie then demands that AJ apologize to her right now. The GM swallows her pride and manages to say that she’s sorry, but Vickie says that it is not good enough, telling AJ to apologize again, but this time, mean it. AJ then gives it another try, but Vickie responds with a slap to the GM’s face and AJ just narrowly avoids losing it. Vickie then taunts the GM before slapping her a second time! Vickie then leaves the ring, laughing at AJ and skipping up the ramp, causing the GM to toss the microphone down. The enraged GM then takes her aggression out on the steel chair in the ring, using the chair to pound the mat before tossing the chair out of the ring before AJ breaks down in the center of the ring.

Then it was time for the main event as #1 Contenders would face off as the #1 Contender for the WWE Title, John Cena, would go one-on-one with the #1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Title, Alberto Del Rio, in a Falls Count Anywhere Match. During the match, John Cena would go for the Attitude Adjustment on Alberto Del Rio, with the intent of driving Del Rio through the announce table, but Del Rio would counter, delivering a back suplex to Cena through the table! The fight would then make its way to the backstage area as Cena and Del Rio destroy the backstage area before Cena hits the Attitude Adjustment on Del Rio on an anvil case, but before Cena can take advantage, CM Punk appears out of nowhere, delivering a kick to Cena’s skull! Punk then pulls Del Rio over to cover Cena as Del Rio gets the victory! CM Punk then finishes the job as he delivers a modified GTS on the hood of a car! As Cena is laid out on the concrete, Punk utters the word “respect” to Cena before Punk gets in the car. The car then slowly drives by the downed Cena, revealing that Punk’s chauffeur is none other than Paul Heyman!

The 680th edition of WWE Friday Night SmackDown came to you from the Resch Center in Green Bay, WI. After getting laid out with the RKO by Randy Orton last week, “Mr. Money-in-the-Bank” would certainly be looking for revenge as Dolph Ziggler would go one-on-one with “The Viper” on SmackDown. Also, with Night of Champions just a few weeks away, what will happen between World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus and the #1 Contender for the gold, Alberto Del Rio?

Detailed Results

Three weeks before he defends the World Heavyweight Title against Alberto Del Rio at Night of Champions, the show kicks off with World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus, who says that, before he gets down to business, he wants to take the time to acknowledge one of the toughest men he has ever fought, Triple H. Sheamus says that he had his very first WrestleMania match against Triple H and, regardless of what Triple H’s future holds, he has earned his respect as well as the fans’ respect. Sheamus continues that Triple H is the “embodiment of a champion”, something that Alberto Del Rio is not. Before the champion can continue, Sheamus is interrupted by “The Intellectual Savior of the Masses” Damien Sandow, who says he is out there to “help” Sheamus because Sheamus is as “ignorant” as he is enormous. Sandow reminds everyone that Triple H led DX in an assault on him on the 1,000th episode of RAW. Sheamus says the moment was “great” and Sandow calls Sheamus an “ignorant, spewing hooligan”, saying that Sheamus drags the fans further and further into their own “ignorance” and “ineptitude”. Sandow continues, saying that Sheamus brings “disgrace and dishonor” to his Irish ancestors, but Sheamus interrupts and says that they would all love to listen to Sandow, but they have lives. Sheamus then dares Sandow to come into the ring and insult him to his face, but Sandow says that the World Heavyweight Champion is “unworthy” of his time. Sandow then says that he has saved the fans from the “intellectual thrashing” they were about to receive. The self-professed “martyr” was then ready to make his exit, but SmackDown General Manager Booker T comes out, saying that no one wants to see an “intellectual thrashing”, but they do want to see a “physical thrashing”. The GM then announces that, for the first time ever, Damien Sandow will go one-on-one with Sheamus!

For the first time since suffering a concussion at the hands of The Miz at SummerSlam, Rey Mysterio was in action on SmackDown as “The Master of the 619” went one-on-one with a familiar foe in the mask-obsessed Cody Rhodes. Yet again, Cody Rhodes’ mask obsession would cost him a victory as Rhodes would try to remove Rey Mysterio’s mask, but Rey counters into a roll-up, picking up the win. After the match, Rhodes would attack Mysterio, trying to remove Rey’s mask, but Sin Cara comes to Rey’s aid as the two high flyers get the better of Rhodes before Mysterio hits the 619 on Rhodes. Sin Cara then presents one of his masks, putting it on Rhodes!

The Assistant to the SmackDown General Manager, Eve, is a guest on commentary as the #1 Contender for the Divas Title, Kaitlyn, went one-on-one with Natalya. In the end, it was Kaitlyn catching Natalya with a roll-up to pick up the win. In her first Divas Title match ever, can Kaitlyn dethrone Layla as the Divas Champion at Night of Champions?

Following a confrontation earlier in the show, SmackDown General Manager Booker T would order “The Intellectual Savior to the Masses” Damien Sandow to go one-on-one with World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus in a non-title match. During the match, Damien Sandow would find himself on the wrong end of a Sheamus beating, prompting the “martyr” to flee the ring, taking the count-out loss!

After they were involved in a multi-team brawl backstage, The Prime Time Players would face Tyson Kidd & Justin Gabriel on SmackDown. In the end, It was Darren Young hitting his patented double knee gutbuster on Justin Gabriel en route to picking up the win for The Prime Time Players.

Interviewer and commentator Josh Mathews then appears in the ring to interview the #1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Title at Night of Champions, Alberto Del Rio. Mathews begins to ask his first question, but Del Rio jumps in, saying that he did not only defeat Randy Orton last week, he made Orton tap out. Del Rio says that he intends to do the same thing to Sheamus at Night of Champions and become the World Heavyweight Champion. Mathews then asks how Del Rio responds to Sheamus getting the better of him every time they meet in the ring. Del Rio then says that, what Kane did to the commentator at SummerSlam was nothing compare to what he is going to do to Mathews right now! Before Del Rio can bully Mathews, Kane makes his entrance, which causes the ring to empty as Del Rio and Ricardo Rodriguez, not to mention Josh Mathews, flee the ring. Kane then reveals that, as part of his anger management therapy, he is out there to apologize to Josh Mathews for his actions at SummerSlam. “The Big Red Monster” then thanks Mathews for being part of his recovery. The Senior Advisor to the GM, Theodore Long, then comes out, informing Del Rio that he will go one-on-one with Kane!

Per the orders of SmackDown General Manager of Booker T, the #1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Title, Alberto Del Rio, would go one-on-one with “The Big Red Monster” Kane. During the match, Ricardo Rodriguez would interfere in the match, allowing Alberto Del Rio to take advantage, hitting the Back Stabber on Kane en route to picking up the win. After the match, Kane tries his best to control his anger, but the anger gets the better of Kane as “The Big Red Monster” exits the ring. Michael Cole and Josh Mathews try to flee the announce position, but Kane was able to get his hands on Mathews as Kane tosses the helpless commentator around ringside before planting Mathews with a chokeslam in the middle of the ring, with Kane apologizing for his attack every step of the way!

Then it was time for the main event as, after being laid out with the RKO by Randy Orton last week, “Mr. Money-in-the-Bank” Dolph Ziggler went one-on-one with “The Viper” Randy Orton. In the end, it was Randy Orton hitting the RKO on Dolph Ziggler en route to picking up the win over “Mr. Money-in-the-Bank”.

A Shoe-In for Gold?

Five nights after SummerSlam, the 679th edition of WWE Friday Night SmackDown came to you from the Rabobank Arena in Bakersfield, CA. After the World Heavyweight Title match ended in controversy at SummerSlam with Sheamus pinning Alberto Del Rio, despite Del Rio’s foot being on the bottom rope, SmackDown General Manager Booker T would address the World Heavyweight Title controversy on SmackDown.

Detailed Results

With the world still wondering about the status of the World Heavyweight Championship, SmackDown kicks off with a former World Heavyweight Champion in “The Viper” Randy Orton. Orton says that he thrives on “confrontation”, saying that Alberto Del Rio thinks his victory on RAW is “tainted”, but Orton says “too bad” to what Del Rio thinks. Orton continues that he should be the next challenger for the World Heavyweight Title before inviting anyone that disagrees with him to come to the ring and confront him. The first man to take Orton up on his offer is none other than the World Heavyweight Champion himself, Sheamus, who says that he is not out there to disagree with “The Viper” before saying that Del Rio has had several title shots. Sheamus continues that he defeated Del Rio “fair and square” at SummerSlam and Orton defeated Del Rio fair and square on RAW. Sheamus then says that, not only does he think Orton deserves to be the next challenger, he wants Orton to be the next challenger.

This brings out SmackDown General Manager Booker T, who says that Randy Orton’s credentials ensure that Orton will always be in the running for the World Heavyweight Title, but the controversial victory on RAW has to be addressed. Before the GM can continue, he is interrupted by Alberto Del Rio and his personal ring announcer, Ricardo Rodriguez, as Del Rio says that the World Heavyweight Title belongs to him. Del Rio then tells Booker T that Sheamus is a “cheater” and Orton is an “animal”, asking if they are the kind of people that Booker wants in title contention. Del Rio continues, saying that Sheamus “robbed” him at SummerSlam and, the next night on RAW, Sheamus “cheated again” to help Orton win. Del Rio refuses to let the GM speak, saying that Booker does not know anything and Sheamus stole his car a couple of weeks ago and Sheamus stole the title match at SummerSlam. Del Rio says that he never lost the title match and he filed a “protest”, but he is still waiting for an answer. With Sheamus and Orton trying to calm Del Rio down, an irate Del Rio continues on, saying that there is a “conspiracy”. Del Rio then calls Booker T a “criminal” and a “cheater”, saying that everyone is against him. The GM is then finally able to finish what he was going to say, saying that Orton will always be in line for a title shot, but Del Rio deserves the next title match. Booker then says that Del Rio’s interruption and trash-talking has made him change his mind before the GM announces that, in a rematch from RAW, Alberto Del Rio will go one-on-one with Randy Orton with the winner becoming the new #1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Title.

With Josh Mathews unable to do his announcing duties due to an attack by Kane at SummerSlam, the Senior Advisor to SmackDown General Manager Booker T, Theodore Long, joins Michael Cole at ringside, revealing that, while he will be joining Cole as a commentator, every match on SmackDown will feature a different guest commentator.

After weeks of games of one-upsmanship, SmackDown would see the culmination of a rivalry as the undefeated “Sin City Cyborg” Ryback went one-on-one with Jinder Mahal. Ryback would dominate Jinder Mahal, hitting the Shell Shocked on Mahal en route to picking up the win.

With the new #1 Contender for the Divas Title, Kaitlyn, joining Michael Cole on commentary, Divas Champion Layla went one-on-one with Alicia Fox in a non-title match. In the end, it was Layla landing a kick to Alicia Fox’s head en route to picking up the win. After the match, Kaitlyn and Layla face-off in the ring, with champion and challenger shaking hands. The assistant to the GM, Eve, then comes out, peculiarly raising the hands of both Divas.

With his rival, Cody Rhodes, a guest on commentary, “The International Sensation” Sin Cara went one-on-one with Heath Slater on SmackDown. With the referee distracted by Heath Slater, Cody Rhodes would impair Sin Cara, twisting the mask of Sin Cara around backwards. This blinds the high-flyer, allowing Heath Slater to hit the Bandstand on Sin Cara en route to picking up the win.

Following a backstage confrontation earlier on in the evening, SmackDown General Manager Booker T would book a non-title match between World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus and “Mr. Money-in-the-Bank” Dolph Ziggler, with Vickie Guerrero serving as the guest commentator. During the match, Dolph Ziggler would narrowly escape the Brogue Kick of Sheamus, but Dolph would have Vickie hand him the Money-in-the-Bank briefcase as Ziggler would use the metal briefcase to blast Sheamus in the skull, ending the match on a disqualification. After the match, Dolph would follow it up with a shot to the spine before Ziggler hands the briefcase to the referee, ready to cash it in, but when an angry Sheamus gets to his feet, Dolph snatches the briefcase away from the referee, preventing the cash-in and making a quick retreat!

After losing the United States Title to Antonio Cesaro on the SummerSlam Pre-Show, Santino Marella says that he feels that he let the fans down before trying to get on the same page as his “cobra”. Santino is then interrupted by the new United States Champion, Antonio Cesaro, and his girlfriend, Aksana, as Cesaro says the word, “winner”, in five different languages. Cesaro then says that, unlike Santino, he knows what it is like to be a winner. This causes Santino to leave the ring as Marella briefly gets the better of the United States Champion, but when Santino’s “cobra” gets distracted by Aksana’s presence, Cesaro takes Santino down, delivering a kick to Marella’s face.

With The Prime Time Players guests on commentary, WWE Tag Team Champions R-Truth & Kofi Kingston faced Primo & Epico, with Rosa Mendes in their corner, in a non-title match. In the end, it was R-Truth hitting the Little Jimmy on Primo en route to picking up the win for himself and Kofi Kingston.

Backstage, an interview with WWE Tag Team Champions R-Truth & Kofi Kingston is crashed by The Prime Time Players, who say that they deserve to get a shot at the tag titles, but Jimmy & Jey Uso believe they deserve a shot. Primo & Epico then enter the picture, saying they deserve a shot before Tyson Kidd & Justin Gabriel makes their argument, as well. This results in an all-out brawl between all five teams that has to be broken up by referees and officials!

Backstage, the Senior Advisor to Booker T, Theodore Long, is at a loss for an answer to the GM’s question of who deserves to be the #1 Contenders for the WWE Tag Team Titles, but Booker’s new assistant, Eve, comes in with a folder filled with stats on all the tag teams in the WWE and Booker’s complete schedule, impressing the GM.

With World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus a guest on commentary, the main event would see “The Viper” Randy Orton go one-on-one with “The Mexican Aristocrat” Alberto Del Rio, with Ricardo Rodriguez in his corner, with the winner being named the new #1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Title. In the end, it was Alberto Del Rio picking up a major and surprising victory over Randy Orton, forcing “The Viper” to tap out to the cross armbreaker to pick up the win and become the #1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Title. After the match, Alberto Del Rio shoves Ricardo Rodriguez down, taking Rodriguez’s shoe off and throwing it at the World Heavyweight Champion, which sparks a brawl between champion and challenger, but a brief distraction from Rodriguez allows Del Rio to take advantage, blasting Sheamus in the skull with Rodriguez’s shoe! Del Rio and Rodriguez then exit the ring as Dolph Ziggler rushes to the ring, ready to cash in the Money-in-the-Bank contract, but just as Ziggler is about to hand over the briefcase, Randy Orton strikes out of nowhere with the RKO, leaving “Mr. Money-in-the-Bank” laid out in the middle of the ring!

Despite pulling out all the stops in an unforgettable war against Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam, Triple H would find himself trapped in Brock’s Kimura Lock again, being forced to tap out after “The War Machine” again broke the arm of “The Game” as the match left the world wondering if Triple H’s legendary career is over. After breaking Triple H’s arm and putting his career in severe jeopardy, RAW would kick off with Brock Lesnar and his legal representative, Paul Heyman, as Brock would comment on his triumph over Triple H. A man who knows the Kimura Lock all too well would also let his comments be known as “The Heartbreak Kid” Shawn Michaels would appear live, via satellite, to discuss the match between his friend, Triple H, and the man who broke his arm last week, Brock Lesnar.

Detailed Results

Just one night after his vicious encounter with Triple H at SummerSlam, where he broke the arm of the thirteen-time World Champion en route to earning a submission victory, RAW kicks off with “The Beast” Brock Lesnar and his representative, Paul Heyman. Heyman says that, eleven years ago, he was a commentator and he witnessed Triple H tear his quadriceps muscle, but “The Game” still finished that match. Heyman continues that a torn quad could not stop Triple H, but Brock Lesnar could and Lesnar did. Heyman then reminds the world that Brock made Triple H tap out at SummerSlam, forcing Triple H to “quit” on his family, his company, and all of the fans. Heyman continues that Brock took Triple H’s “manhood”, leaving Triple H a broken “shell of a man”, saying that Triple H “picked a fight” with Brock and they don’t feel sorry for Triple H. Heyman then says that they are requesting the presence of the referee for the match between Lesnar and Triple H, Scott Armstrong, because Lesnar would like a word with the senior official. Referee Scott Armstrong reluctantly makes his way to the ring as Heyman asks if Armstrong was told by Triple H, before the match, to let Brock and Triple H fight at SummerSlam, regardless of the cost to either man. Brock then corners the referee as Heyman says that Lesnar has “two words” for Scott Armstrong as Lesnar pats Armstrong on the shoulder and tells the referee, “good job”. Armstrong then leaves the ring as Heyman continues to tout his client, saying that Lesnar is the new “King of Kings” and Lesnar is the “conqueror of the WWE”, saying that the fans are now the “loyal subjects” to Brock Lesnar!

After successfully defending the WWE Tag Team Titles against The Prime Time Players at SummerSlam, WWE Tag Team Champions R-Truth & Kofi Kingston would team with “The International Sensation” Sin Cara to face The Prime Time Players and Cody Rhodes in a 6-Man Tag Match. For the third match in a row, Cody Rhodes obsession with Sin Cara’s mask would cost Rhodes the match as, when Rhodes goes for the high-flyer’s mask, Cara counters with a roll-up to pick up the win for his team.

Backstage, David Otunga returns to RAW, appearing for the first time in several weeks, telling RAW General Manager AJ Lee is in need of legal counsel, saying that he could drop a lawsuit at a moment’s notice if someone were to call the GM “crazy”. Not hearing anything past the word, “crazy”, AJ puts David Otunga in a match.

“The Sin City Cyborg” was in action on RAW as Ryback faced the unknown competitors Mike Spinner and Andy Tacaris in a 2-on-1 Tornado Handicap Match. Ryback was moments away from another dominating victory, but Jinder Mahal would attack the monster from behind before locking in the Camel Clutch. However, “The Sin City Cyborg” easily powers out of the Camel Clutch, which causes Mahal to retreat as Ryback finishes the job by hitting both men with a double Shell Shocked as a clear message sent to Mahal.

Backstage, “Mr. Money-in-the-Bank” Dolph Ziggler confronts Chris Jericho, demanding a SummerSlam rematch from “Y2J”. AJ Lee then skips onto the scene, making a career-altering rematch between the two as Chris Jericho will go one-on-one with Dolph Ziggler and, if Dolph loses, then Jericho gets Ziggler’s Money-in-the-Bank briefcase, but if Jericho loses, then his contract will be terminated!

After being cheated at the end of his World Heavyweight Title match at SummerSlam, “The Mexican Aristocrat” Alberto Del Rio and Ricardo Rodriguez appear on RAW. Del Rio says that he was “robbed” at SummerSlam by Sheamus and by the referee before Del Rio shows photos from SummerSlam where Del Rio’s foot was on the bottom rope while the referee still counts the three for Sheamus. Del Rio then demands a rematch for the World Heavyweight Title right now, but RAW General Manager AJ Lee comes out, saying that she has no control over the World Heavyweight Championship as that is SmackDown General Manager Booker T’s department. The GM then says that, since Del Rio is already dressed to compete, then Del Rio needs an opponent before AJ brings out “The Viper” Randy Orton!

Per the orders of RAW General Manager AJ Lee, “The Mexican Aristocrat” Alberto Del Rio, with Ricardo Rodriguez in his corner, would go one-on-one with “The Viper” Randy Orton on RAW, with World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus a guest on commentary. During the match, Ricardo Rodriguez would attempt to interfere in the match, but Sheamus would get up from his seat, scaring Rodriguez away. However, the situation on the outside would distract Randy Orton long enough for Del Rio to hit the Back Stabber, but Orton would get his foot on the bottom rope and the World Heavyweight Champion quickly alerts the referee to the foot on the rope. This would keep the match going as Orton would hit the RKO en route to picking up the win over Del Rio.

Two weeks after being assaulted by Damien Sandow, “The Funkasaurus” Brodus Clay would go one-on-one with “The Intellectual Savior of the Masses” Damien Sandow. In the end, it was Damien Sandow catching Brodus Clay off-guard with a roll-up, hooking the tights for added leverage to pick up the win over “The Funkasaurus”. Brodus Clay was not done with Damien Sandow, however, as Brodus hits the Funkasplash on Sandow after the match.

One week after Brock Lesnar used the Kimura Lock to break his arm, Hall of Famer “The Heartbreak Kid” Shawn Michaels would appear, live via satellite, on RAW. Shawn Michaels says that he knows that is going through Triple H’s head right now, saying that all the thoughts of retirement are usually kept in private. HBK continues that you cannot prepare to face your own “professional mortality”, saying that he knows what Triple H is feeling and Triple H is a “warrior” as “The Game” always left it all in the ring. Michaels says that he wanted to support his friend, but he became a “distraction” for Triple H, saying that he did not tell Triple H the truth last week as Triple H needed him to say that Triple H could not beat Brock Lesnar. HBK then says that it is never easy to tell a friend that he cannot succeed, saying that he has always been “proud” of Triple H. Michaels then concludes by saying that he and the fans “love” Triple H before congratulating Triple H on a “job well done”.

Per the orders of RAW General Manager AJ Lee, the returning David Otunga would go one-on-one with an angry giant in the form of “The World’s Largest Athlete” Big Show. In the end, it was a dominant victory for the seething giant as Big Show levels David Otunga with the W.M.D. en route to picking up the win.

In an effort to quell the anger issues of Kane and Daniel Bryan, AJ Lee would team Kane and Bryan up with former rivals as “The Big Red Monster” Kane teamed with the man he once shoved off of the stage in a wheelchair, Zack Ryder, to face Daniel Bryan and the man who coached Bryan during NXT Season One before Bryan would surpass him by taking his United States Title, Intercontinental Champion The Miz. After inadvertently colliding with The Miz, Miz would refuse to tag Daniel Bryan in before Miz walks out on his tag partner. Bryan then flees from Kane, which enrages “The Big Red Monster” as Kane attacks his own tag partner, Zack Ryder, laying Ryder out with a chokeslam. Kane then goes on a rampage outside of the ring, ripping the announce table to shreds and even putting is hands on a crew member before setting his sights back on Ryder, spiking Ryder with the Tombstone Piledriver in the center of the ring!

With AJ Lee waiting to hear who CM Punk will select as the new #1 Contender for the WWE Title, WWE Champion CM Punk appears backstage and reveals that he is selecting none other than John Cena as the next challenger for his title! Punk then states that he will call Cena out later on and may even get the respect of the former champion.

With Divas Champion Layla a guest at ringside, seven Divas would battle as Eve, Kaitlyn, Alicia Fox, Rosa Mendes, Natalya, Aksana, & Tamina Snuka would compete in a Divas Battle Royal with the winner being named the #1 Contender for the Divas Title. The first two Divas to go were Aksana and Rosa Mendes as they battled each other out of the ring. After Tamina Snuka eliminates Natalya and Alicia Fox, Kaitlyn eliminates Tamina Snuka, leaving only Eve and Kaitlyn in the match. Kaitlyn is then able to power Eve over the top rope to become the new #1 Contender for the Divas Title.

In a shocking Tout sent out by Paul Heyman on behalf of Brock Lesnar, the self-proclaimed new “King of Kings” Brock Lesnar announces that he has done everything he has set out to do in the WWE, so he is leaving the WWE and he is “never coming back”!

In a rematch from SummerSlam, the career paths of two of the WWE top Superstars would be forever changed as “Y2J” Chris Jericho would go one-on-one with “Mr. Money-in-the-Bank” Dolph Ziggler in a WWE Contract vs. Money-in-the-Bank Contract Match where, if Jericho wins, then Jericho will earn Ziggler’s Money-in-the-Bank contract, but if Dolph wins, then Jericho’s WWE contract will be terminated. In the end, it was Dolph Ziggler hitting the Zig Zag on Chris Jericho en route to picking up the win, retaining his Money-in-the-Bank briefcase, but also being responsible for the termination of Chris Jericho’s WWE contract! After the match, the now unemployed Chris Jericho would leave a lasting impression on everyone, most of all on Dolph Ziggler as “Y2J” blasts Dolph in the spine with the Money-in-the-Bank briefcase before laying Ziggler out with the Codebreaker!

After defeating John Cena and Big Show in a Triple Threat Match at SummerSlam, WWE Champion CM Punk appeared on RAW to call out his handpicked #1 Contender, John Cena. The WWE Champion first exits the ring to confront Jerry “The King” Lawler again, recalling several weeks ago when the Hall of Famer said that Punk turned his back on the fans. The champion then demands an apology from Lawler, but John Cena interrupts the proceedings, which brings CM Punk back into the ring. Punk accuses Cena of stealing the spotlight before saying that, since WrestleMania, he has been taking a “back seat” to Cena, Triple H, and The Rock. Punk continues that he is the WWE Champion, but he is frequently asked why he was not in the main event and he says that he lets Cena go on last out of “respect”. Punk then says that taking the back seat no longer makes sense seeing as he has defeated Cena on three different occasions over the last year, saying that he has been giving respect since holding up the WWE last year. The WWE Champion continues that he will defeat Cena again, but no matter how many times he beats Cena, the fans still overwhelmingly support Cena. Punk then reveals that Cena can have a shot at the WWE Championship, but only if Cena publicly admits in front of everyone that CM Punk is the “best in the world”!

Cena states that he has not been the WWE Champion for nine months and their rivalry is based on one word, “respect”. Cena then says that he cannot call CM Punk the “best in the world” because he believes that he is the best. Cena continues that every Superstar must believe that they are the best or else they should not be in the business. Cena then says that CM Punk has been the champion for 274 days, but the only thing that anyone remembers is when Punk left the WWE as the champion over a year ago. Cena then says that he is confident that he will get another shot at the WWE Championship, so Punk can select anyone else as the next contender. Cena continues that, if Punk is able to walk into Night of Champions in Cena’s hometown of Boston and walk out as the WWE Champion, then that will be the moment that defines Punk’s “existence”. Cena then tells Punk that, if Punk does not choose to face him at Night of Champions, then Punk has no “respect” for Cena and no “respect” for himself!

Cena then exits the ring, leaving CM Punk alone in the ring, but the WWE Champion does not address what Cena had to say. Instead, CM Punk calls Jerry Lawler into the ring to finish their discussion. The Hall of Famer enters the ring and Punk says that “The King” owes him an apology and, while Lawler gives Punk an apology, but the champion is not done with Lawler as Punk tells Lawler to publicly state that CM Punk is “the best in the world”. However, the Hall of Famer says that he cannot say that Punk is the best in the world before Lawler tries to leave to return to the announce position, but as soon as “The King” turns his back, the WWE Champion kicks Lawler in the back of the skull! CM Punk then hovers over the fallen Hall of Famer, glaring out at the WWE fans.
