Coverage and thoughts on the June 24, 2011 episode of Smackdown
The show starts with Teddy Long in the ring and he asks Christian to come to so they discuss the controversial finish of Sunday’s World Title match. Christian comes out and demands another Title match since he was robbed at Capitol Punishment. Long tells him if wants another Title match he will have to earn it by beating Kane.
Sin Cara vs. Ted DiBiase, Jr. Cara gets the pin in a real good back and forth match.
Next up is Daniel Bryan & Cody Rhodes. Before the match Cody rags on the fans like usual and Daniel Bryan comes out. Bryan tells Cody that looks aren’t everything in wrestling and he shows a picture of Dusty on the Tron saying that he might not have been the best looking guy, but he had lots of charisma and is a good person, unlike Cody.
Daniel Bryan vs. Cody Rhodes. Cody gets the pin after Ted DiBiase, Jr. assists Cody. Cody puts a bag on Daniel’s head afterwards. This was a fun match. Lots of back and forth action.
Next up is a Johnny Curtis segment. He’s at catering standing by a table with ketchup, mayo & mustard. He takes the ketchup and the mayo but leaves the mustard and says it doesn’t make the cut. When are these lame segments going to end?
Matt Striker interviews Big Show about being attacked by Mark Henry Sunday. Big Show says that he will return the favor, then Mark Henry comes in and spears Big Show into the interview set. Referees come in to help Big Show up but Henry tells them to stay away from him. Mark Henry is really doing a great job as the monster heal.
Intercontinental Champion Ezekiel Jackson Jackson
Jack Korpela interviews Randy Orton about Christian wanting another Title match. Orton says that he finds Christian getting another chance for a Title match amusing, but he will beat Christian again if he has to.
Backstage Wade Barrett runs into Justin Gabriel & Heath Slater and they rag on him for losing to Zeke before and that they’re going to do what he can’t and that’s win.
The Usos vs. Justin Gabriel & Heath Slater. Gabriel & Slater win when Slater pins Jimmy Uso. This was a good tag match. Gabriel & Slater are good as a team and The Usos are talented too.
Yoshi Tatsu vs. Jinder Mahal. Jinder flattened Yoshi before the match could start. He then gets the mic saying that Khali is done being a comedy act that they will both dominate WWE.
Kane vs. Christian. Kane wins by DQ when Mark Henry comes in. Christian is upset that Henry got him DQ’d. Henry throws Kane of the ring. Teddy Long then comes out and makes a Tag match. Randy Orton & Kane vs. Christian & Mark Henry. If Christian & Henry win, Christian will get another Title match.
World Champion Randy Orton & Kane vs. Christian & Mark Henry. Christian & Henry get the win when Henry pins Orton. So Christian will get his Title match. After the match Christian stands over Orton and poses with the belt.
I thought this was a good show overall. The Kane-Christian match and Orton & Kane-Mark Henry & Christian were both good. The Daniel Bryan-Cody Rhodes match was good also as was the Usos-Gabriel Slater and Sin Cara-Ted matches.
