SmackDown is originating from Biloxi, Mississippi this week.
Lilian Garcia, JBL, and Josh Matthews made their entrances.
* The show opens with highlights from Elimination Chamber and RAW.
* Alberto Del Rio kicked off the show and said it's time for WrestleMania. He addressed Jack Swagger's new attitude and State of the Union address and said this county was built by hard working immigrants. He said America is great and Swagger is nothing but a Real Jackass.
Del Rio called Swagger out. Randy Orton's music hit and the place absolutely erupted. Orton went to talk in the ring and Randy chants start. Orton said Swagger robbed him of his shot and he wants to take out his anger on Swagger tonight. Orton asked Del Rio to step aside for tonight.
Booker T came out and said his plan tonight is champion vs champion - Del Rio vs. Wade Barrett. Booker granted Orton's wish by booking him in a match against Swagger.
Sheamus was shown backstage...
1. Sheamus defeated Damien Sandow. A pretty decent back and forth match. Sheamus won with the Brogue Kick after a lengthy match.
* The announcement for WrestleMania 30 being held in New Orleans was shown. The crowd was pretty pumped up since it's only an hour away.
2. Kaitlyn and Layla defeated Tamina and Aksana. Kaitlyn won with a hard spear on Tamina.
* Backstage segment with Zeb Colter, Jack Swagger and Wade Barrett. Zeb had some intense words with Barrett and says that Barrett is part of the problem. Zeb hopes Del Rio and Barrett kill each other.
3. Jack Swagger (w/Zeb Colter) defeated Randy Orton. Swagger has gotten rid of all the red white and blue in his entrance. It's kinda awkward because Zeb appealed to the rednecks here. I can see some real heat coming in places elsewhere. A good match with Orton. Swagger is bringing a new intensity to his matches and is finally looks like he belongs. In the end, Zeb distracted Orton, who was punched by Swagger. Swagger rolled up Orton with his feet on the ropes for the win.
* Promo for Dead Man Down. Backstage segment with Sheamus and Wade Barrett. Sheamus picks on Barrett’s acting and Barrett picks on Sheamus for losing to The Shield.
4. The Miz defeated Cody Rhodes. Miz won with a nice reversal into the figure four. I think he's finally getting the move down. Dusty should have taught Cody how to get out of it.
* After the match, we were shown another immigration promo from Swagger and Colter before a glimpse of Fandango.
5. Alberto Del Rio (w/Ricardo Rodriguez) defeated Wade Barrett. Following the ring entrances, Jack Swagger and Zeb Colter came out and stood on the ramp to watch. It was the best match of the night. Del Rio won by making Barrett tap to the Cross Arm Breaker. The taping ended with Del Rio standing in the ring jawing to Swagger with the WrestleMania logo in the back.
Quite a skippable show imo. Some storylines advancing. Sheamus v Wade Barrett at WM29 perhaps?
