Smackdown Spoilers:

Spoiler

Sheamus came out first cut a promo said Daniel Bryan was a changed man. He said he's now conceded just like Sheamus was when he won his first title two years ago. Vickie Guerrero and Dolph Ziggler came out and interrupted them. Dolph cut a promo saying he should've been in the main event at WrestleMania. Teddy Long came out to interrupt and booked Dolph vs. Sheamus as the first match.

1. Sheamus defeated Dolph Ziggler. Swagger came out to distract Sheamus. Ziggler and hit the Zig Zag, but Shemaus kicked out and then finished off Dolph for the win.

Big Show vs. Mark Henry was advertised for later in the show.

2. Santino Marella defeated Heath Slater. Slater went for a move off the top rope. Santino knocked him off and as Slater was still sitting on the top rope, he hit him with The Cobra.

3. Eve defeated Natalya.

Cody Rhodes came out and then so did Big Show. Cody started up in the crowd and Big Show said he was going to come after him. Teddy Long came out and booked Show vs. Rhodes in a title match at WrestleMania. Then Long introduced Mark Henry, who came out for his match with Big Show.

4. Big Show defeated Mark Henry. Henry dominated most of the match. He missed hitting Show with the steel ring steps. Show kicked out of the World's Strongest Slam, then Show hit the WMD for the win.

They had a Johnny Ace and Teddy Long segment in the back. David Otunga said they wouldn't seek criminal charges for Teddy striking Ace on Raw, but they might take civil action. Long booked Otunga vs. Big Show for Raw. Next up is Drew Mcintyre vs Justin Gabriel. Long said that McIntyre is fired if he loses.

5. Justin Gabriel defeated Drew McIntyre. Teddy Long appeared on the big screen and fired McIntyre, who sold it by crying in the ring before he left.

6. Daniel Bryan fought Randy Orton to an apparent no-contest. Good back and forth. Orton was about to hit his DDT when Kane's pyro hit and he came out. Kane and Orton brawled outside for a while and it was back and forth. They both got in the ring and Kane got control and chokeslammed Orton and stood over him. Then he asked for a mic. He stood over Orton, who was out, and said, "Welcome back." Kane dropped the mic and left.

I don't like....

Dolph getting jobbed out yet again.

Kane attacking Orton thus setting up a match between them at Mania and leaving Bryan vs Sheamus as a singles match.

 

[Hunter Rider]

It's interesting you say that because I liked JR's commentary during the match and thought it added to what was going on. I didn't sense JR's uncertainty.

I didn't know about the strong chairshots. That's rough. I hope it doesn't get like that with Rock/Cena.

During the match he was great as always, but the long delay between it being obvious Austin and Vince were aligned and Rock actual taking the pin seemed to leave JR uncertain of when to confirm the heel turn IMO.

I could be wrong but I've always felt that match didn't go off exactly as planned.

The Rock and Cena probably wont involve any heel acts like that, I think it will be physical and fast paced though, no chain wrestling to start off, I think they go for each other from the opening bell.

Completely agree here. Now I'm liking WM more and more.

 

[Wheels]

Big Show vs Rhodes and Orton vs Kane at Mania. This card is stacked. I hope they book a triple threat tag team championship ladder match as well.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Uggh, not feelin Kane/Orton.

Better than having Orton shoehorned into the WHC match.

I'll give it one more week, and if he's not back by next week, Rey Mysterio will miss WM 28.

 

[Project862006]

for the next years wm i really want a heel cena vs face punk for the title

Arrive. Pedigree. Leave.

I'd be fine with Miz getting Pedigree'd every week.

 

[Nightmare]

Loving that new match set for wm at the sd tapings. The card is stacked!

Instead of having a money in the bank ladder match for this year's Wrestlmania, I'd prefer on seeing a 8 man tag team match featuring two teams representing John and Teddy.

Teddy's Team:

1. Kofi Kingston
2. R Truth
3. Santino
4. Rey or Zack Ryder


John's Team:

1. Dolph Ziggler
2. Jack Swagger
3. The Miz
4. Alberto or Christian or worst case scenario, Otunga

 

[Nightmare]

I thought Laurinitis' team would definitely be represented by Mark Henry, Del Rio, Christian, Otunga.

Not sure where or how dolph and swagger fit in that. Or the miz.

 

[NDX]

Awwwwesome [YT]ZKbGUQE-ILE[/YT]

He came, he saw, he buried the Miz.

And I can't help but

I think Mark Henry is still injured and I rather let the guy heal than be put into a spot where he could only be used in a limited way.

I'm not sure what the health status is for Christian and Del Rio, but if they're feeling better enough to be cleared for competition in the event, then I'd welcome them and take them, along with Dolph..though I'd still wonder on who should get the fourth spot between Otunga, Swagger, or Miz since neither of them are really standouts.

Teddy's available choices doesn't seem to be that great since I have no idea as to what the condition is for Rey, and Santino is pretty much a guarantee, and unless R Truth and Kofi is in tag team competition elsewhere, it's likely that they'll be put in this match..leaving the fourth spot open should Rey not be able to be in it..but who could get the fourth spot that isn't Khali?lol

Make it an elimination tables match and I'd agree.

Did you add the "Burying Time" letters?

Dolph is the guy I most want to see get a match on the card, he's missed out on having a spotlight match again this year but he deserves to at least be featured. Miz will face someone in a short match I think, his angle is now attempting to whine his way onto the PPV and I think he'll get on but it will be a short squash.

He came, he saw, he buried the Miz.

Nell must have been so conflicted!

I'm certain Henry will be on team Ace as he deserves a Mania payday and an 8 man tag will protect him. In truth I think Ace's team will just be the one that posed for the pic at the EC.

Teddy's team is short on names, it really needs Rey I think and I am certain Santino will be on it, but he also needs a power guy as his potential team is already looking small in comparison.

 

[Pink Ranger]

I think they're setting up Miz for a 30-second Funkasaurus squash at WM.

 

[Lobo]

I figure Teddys team will be Santino, Rey if healthy, Kofi and Truth. If Kofi and Truth are in a tag match for the titles they'd probably be replaced by Gabriel and Jackson.

As for Miz I can see him having a match with say Ryder, or getting squashed by Brodus in two minutes.

 

[Wheels]

NXT must be a brand now because Regal was named GM.

I'm not a fan but I wouldn't rule out Khali getting on Teddy's team.

I could see them doing Miz & Eve vs Ryder and K2.

yikes.
