*SPOILERS* WWE SmackDown Tapings for 26th July

[Dale]

* Randy Orton kicks off SmackDown and comes out with his Money in the Bank briefcase. Damien Sandow's music interrupts and here he comes with his briefcase. Sandow vs. Orton is announced for tonight.

* Sandow vs. Orton is up first. Cody Rhodes is out at ringside for the match. Orton gets the win after Rhodes runs away with Sandow's briefcase. Sandow is distracted and turns around to a RKO for the win.

* CM Punk comes out and talks about his SummerSlam match against Brock Lesnar. Fandango interrupts. Punk ends up laying Fandango out with a GTS in front of Summer Rae.

* Mark Henry and The Usos beat Darren Young, Titus O'Neil and Wade Barrett.

* AJ Lee is shown walking backstage. Still to come, Rob Van Dam vs. Alberto Del Rio.

* Backstage segment with Vickie Guerrero and Alberto Del Rio, who wants to pick his opponent like John Cena did. Rob Van Dam comes in and wants a title shot. Del Rio says he needs to earn it tonight.

* Segment with Damien Sandow looking for his briefcase. He runs into Sin Cara, who speaks no English.

* Alberto Del Rio defeated Rob Van Dam. RVD was distracted and arguing with the referee.

* Sandow runs into Mark Henry and Booker T backstage.

* AJ comes out with Big E Langston. They call Dolph Ziggler out. AJ mocks Ziggler and trashes some of his belongings. Kaitlyn ends up coming out and spears AJ while Ziggler takes out Big E.

* Erick Rowan and Luke Harper defeated Tensai and Brodus Clay. Bray Wyatt cut a promo on Kane after the match.

* Christian vs. Jack Swagger is up next. Christian gets the win after a Killswitch.

* Sandow confronts Vickie Guerrero about his briefcase and is determined to find it tonight. He comes out and offers a reward for its return. Rhodes appears on the big screen and taunts Sandow with the briefcase. Sandow runs off and chases after Cody.

* CM Punk defeated Fandango in the main event.

Sandow/Orton could be a decent match time dependant. Interested in seeing Harper/Rowan in action against two other big guys and it seems like Christian is on the rise, getting a streak of wins recently.

Punk vs. Fandango in the mainevent? Strange choice but it makes me want to tune in to Smackdown to see how Fandango fares in that position.

Lots of Sandow throughout the night which is a good thing. Odd development with Cody stealing the briefcase but it should lead to some fantastic promos from Sandow. I assume that they will wrestle at SummerSlam with the briefcase on the line.

Christian is surely the WHC contender at SummerSlam, picking up a lot of wins including over the champion and there really isn't anyone else in line.

Will have to see how Harper/Rowan go, smart to debut them in the ring on a taped show so that they can edit the match if required.

Is it just me or is it looking like a mixed tag match at SummerSlam between AJ/Big E and Kaitlyn/Ziggler?

A lot happening this Smackdown.

It's nice to see RVD to put someone over truthfully, good to know that he willing to lose a match. I'm agreeing with Troy on the fact that Christian's clearly on the track for the WHC, but after witnessing that lost I'm sure that RVD is going to want a rematch against the champ. Possible triple threat match for Summerslam? I mean surly Summerslam can't be a good event without a triple threat match right?

Punk vs Fandango is going to be a decent match to watch, big fan of both and can't wait to see what they develop in the ring. Now Orton vs Sandow is going to be questionable, not sure if I want to see the RAW MITB holder take on the Smackdown MITB holder, especially in the opening contest...

Wyatt Family match debut! Hell yeah! Looks like that I might be watching Smackdown for the first time in 10 years. lol

Fandango/Punk must have been dark match.

And HOLY FUCKING SHIT SANDOW OWNED THIS SHOW UP UNTIL THE VERY LAST MINUTE. This dude is fucking gold, "I can't swim!"

We didn't even get this Smackdown in Australia, had some clip show instead. They better put the proper show on in the Sunday repeat slot since it would be ready to air by then.
