- Thanks to Melissa M. and Roy for the following WWE SmackDown spoilers from tonight’s tapings in Dayton, Ohio from the Nutter Center.
Dark Match:
* Trent Baretta beat FCW Heavyweight Champion Leo Kruger.
SmackDown, Airing Friday:
* John Laurinaitis opens the show this week with the whole WWE roster. Laurinaitis talks about Triple H and introduces the new World Heavyweight Champion Mark Henry. Triple H interrupts Henry’s promo but Triple H is interrupted by Christian, who wants his World Title shot. Triple H announces Henry vs. Christian in a Lumberjack match for tonight. The winner will defend against Randy Orton at Hell in a Cell.
* Sheamus beat Heath Slater.
* Backstage segment with The Great Khali and Christian. Christian is looking for help from the Lumberjacks tonight.
* Wade Barrett beat Justin Gabriel in a good match.
* Randy Orton is interviewed by Matt Striker. Randy says he will go through hell to get his title back.
* Christian is backstage looking for more help from the Lumberjacks. Ezekiel Jackson isn’t trying to hear it.
* Beth Phoenix and Natalya beat Kaitlyn and AJ Lee.
* Cody Rhodes beats Randy Orton by DQ when Orton goes crazy and beats him bloody. Blood is pouring as Orton beats Cody with his mask, a chair and the ringside bell. Officials come down to clean Cody up before Orton puts him through the announcers table with an RKO. Orton comes back down and RKO’s Cody again before ending the segment. I’m not sure how it will come off on TV but the crowd went from being shocked to loving it to back to shocked. Orton was great and Cody bled like crazy.
