5-6-11 Smackdown results and thoughts

Coverage and thoughts on the May 6, 2011 episode of Smackdown

The show starts with Christian in the ring saying how great it is to finally be World Champion and thanked Edge and his peeps. Mark Henry then came out and said he wants a Title match. Great Khali comes out and wants a Title match also. Randy Orton then comes out and also asks for a Title match. Teddy Long comes out and lets the fans decide who they want to see Christian defend the Title against. The fans go with Orton, so it will be Christian vs. Orton for the World Title in the main event. Good opening segment.

Khali and Ranjin run into Jindar Mahal in the back and Ranjin says how great it is to have him on Smackdown and Jindar says things are going to get better.

Daniel Bryan vs. Sheamus. Sheamus gets the pin a real good match.

Cody Rhodes comes and talks about how Rey Mysterio brunt his eyes at Extreme Rules after being sprayed with the mist and said Rey showed how gutless and desperate he was. But thankfully he no longer has to deal with him cause Rey was drafted to Raw. He then had his assistants hand out the paper bags to the fans and he said their ugliness offends him. Great promo from Cody. He is really impressing me with this new character.

Big Show vs. Ezekiel Jackson. The other Corre guys attack Kane and Big Show makes the save, then gets back in the ring and Jackson gets the pin after a big boot. After the match Barrett and Jackson had words and Jackson walked out. This was a decent solid match. I think Jackson has lots of potential.

Layla vs. Alicia Fox. Layla gets the pin in a pretty short match. Kharma comes out and Layla bails. Alicia kicks Kharma from behind, goes for a second kick but Kharma clotheslines Alicia and then flattened her with the implant buster. Layla watched from the ramp terrified and ran to the back.

The Corre has words with Zeke backstage, Zeke goes on the attack and eventually gets triple teamed. Looks like Zeke is a face now. I’m curious to see how he will be in the face roll.

Chavo Guerrero is on commentary for Sin Cara vs. Tyson Kidd. Cara gets the pin in a really good match. Chavo comes in the ring and shakes Cara’s hand.

Todd Grisham asks Teddy Long if he thinks it is unfair for Christian to defend the World Title just after Extreme Rules. Long said this was about what the fans want to see and that there was a WWE Title match on Raw the next night after the PPV so he wanted to make Smackdown fun and exciting.

World Champion Christian vs. Randy Orton for the Title. Orton gets the pin to win the Title in a really good match. After the match Christian sits in the ring for a bit, in disbelief. The fans chant his name and he walks to the back.

That’s this week’s show. Overall I thought is a good episode, but I don’t get why they took the Title off Christian just 2 days after winning it.

John Cena is WWE Champion on Raw and Randy Orton is World Champion on Smackdown. These are 2 guys that do not need the Title to get over! I know that Vince doesn’t see Christian as World Title material, but they should’ve kept the Title on Christian for at least a week. The same with Miz, they shouldn’t have taken the Title off him either.
