Coverage and thoughts on the May 20, 2011 episode of Smackdown
The show began with Christian vs. Sheamus. Christian gets the pin in a really good match. They gave these guys a lot of time. After the match, Mark Henry came and he and Sheamus double Christian. Randy Orton comes out and stands by the entrance way for a bit then runs to then to help Christian out and cleans house. Orton then helped Christian up and they shook hands. I liked that actually started with a match this week!
Todd Grisham interviews the Bellas. The Bellas argue about what happened Monday with Kharma and how Brie bailed while Nikki got flattened. Brie then mentions her Title match against Kelly Kelly Sunday and her match with Natalya tonight.
Natalya vs. Divas Champion Brie Bella in a Non Title Match. Brie gets the pin in a decent match.
Ezekiel Jackson comes to the ring and gets the mic saying he would make an impact, which is why he became part of the Corre and they how they took the show by force. Then after he slammed Big Show it made him if he needed the Corre or if the Corre needed him. He said that the Corre have beaten him but they can’t break him. He then says that Wade Barrett will no longer be Intercontinental Champion after Sunday. The Corre come out ready to attack Jackson Jackson
Ezekiel Jackson, Kane & Big Show vs. The Corre. Zeke, Kane and Show get the win after Zeke makes Gabriel submit to the rack. This was a good back and forth match too.
Matt Striker interviews Christian backstage. Christian says that he will be at 100% and regain the World Title Sunday. Good promo from Christian.
Chavo Guerrero comes to the ring and get the mic and says that Sin Cara embarrassed him last week and that he brought Cara to Smackdown and taught him everything he knows and that Cara repaid him by dis respecting him. He says that Cara couldn’t beat Daniel Bryan without his help and that he doesn’t need Cara’s and that he will beat Bryan
Daniel Bryan vs. Chavo Guerrero. There was a 5 minute countdown clock and it ran out. Chavo tosses Daniel out of the ring and Sin Cara comes out and gave Chavo a rana.
Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase, Jr. come out with Cody’s assistants who are carrying the paper bags and they hand them out to the fans. Cody then gives Ted a bag and tells to put it over his head. Ted puts on the bag, then Cody asks what his name is and Ted with a Spanish accent says Corpus Christi
Trent Beretta vs. Ted DiBiase, Jr. Ted gets the win in a good but short match. Cody comes in the ring with a bag and Ted puts it over Trent
Matt Striker is standing outside Randy Orton’s dressing room door and says that we will hear from Orton after the next match.
Great Khali comes out without Ranjin Singh for a match against Jay Uso. Jinder comes out with a mic and speaks to Khali in the Indian language and Khali goes outside the ring and Jinder whacks him. Khali goes back in the ring and slams Jay for the pin. Khali then gives a chop to Jimmy Uso.
Matt Striker interviews Randy Orton. Orton talks about his match with Mark Henry tonight and his Title match with Christian Sunday. Orton says that being 99 % is good enough, but not enough to beat him.
World Champion Randy Orton vs. Mark Henry. Orton gets the win by DQ when Sheamus comes in. Mark Henry and Sheamus beat down Orton and Christian comes out but stands on the ramp for a bit then hits the ring to make the save. Orton and Christian have a stare down and Mark Henry and Sheamus come back in and go on the attack but Orton and Christian get the upper hand laying out the heels. Orton and Christian then shook hand again to end the show.
I thought this was really good episode of Smackdown & they did a good job building up the PPV for Sunday.
