5-27-11 Smackdown coverage and thoughts

Coverage and thoughts on the May 27, 2011 episode of Smackdown

The show starts with Randy Orton coming out and says that he is the World Champion. Before he can talk any further Christian comes out and says he wants another Title match. Sheamus comes in saying that he deserves a Title match and that it took Christian 17 years to win the World Title while he won his first WWE Title in his first few months. Mark Henry comes out and also wants a World Title match. Teddy Long comes out and makes a Triple Threat match for the number one contender spot. This was a good opening segment.

Sin Cara vs. Chavo Guerrero. Cara gets the pin in a decent match.

Cody Rhodes comes out with his assistants who hand out the paper bags and Cody says that every town he goes to he never sees any decent looking people. Daniel Bryan comes out for the next match.

Daniel Bryan vs. Cody Rhodes. Daniel gets the win in a really good match.

Ezekiel Jackson vs. Heath Slater. Jackson gets the win by DQ when Barrett and Gabriel come in. This match was okay, but nothin memorable.

Matt Striker interviews Christian about the 3 way match and says that he was the last guy anyone thought would be World Champion but he did it. Good promo from Christian.

Kane vs. Great Khali. Kane gets the pin in a mercifully short match. Jinder then comes out and slaps Khali again, then Khali head vice grips Singh.

Booker T was in the ring and he had Michael Cole come in and he shows the clip of Cole with Lawler’s foot in his mouth from Sunday. I’m not sure why they had this.

Matt Striker interviews Sheamus and Sheamus cuts a promo similar to what he said at the start of the show. Good Sheamus interview.

Kaitlyn & AJ vs. Tamina & Alicia Fox. Tamina & Alicia get the win in a typical real short diva’s match after Fox gets the pin.

Matt Striker interviews Mark Henry and Henry asks who he thinks will win the 3 way and he gets in Striker’s face. Good stuff from Mark Henry.

They showed the Randy Savage video tribute! Great video package for one of the all time greats!

Christian vs. Mark Henry vs. Sheamus. Sheamus wins after pinning Christian in a really good match. Orton came out and gave Henry an RKO towards the end of the match.

I thought the show was good on the whole as usual. Smackdown continues to be the best wrestling show of the week.
