6-3-11 Smackdown results & Thoughts

Coverage and thoughts on the June 3, 2011 episode of Smackdown

The show starts with Christian vs. Mark Henry. Christian gets the in a real good match. After the match Christian gets the mic and talks about the Title match later with Orton and Sheamus. Christian says he should challenging Orton for the Title. They show a replay of last week’s match and Christian says he had Sheamus beat. Christian says he wants 1 more shot at the Title. Teddy Long comes out and agrees with Christian, then Christian asks the fans who they want to see get a Title match, him or Sheamus. Of course the fans go with Christian. Teddy Long then makes Christian the guest referee for the Title match. This was a good back and forth promo from Christian and Teddy Long.

Kaitlyn & AJ (with Natalya) vs. Tamina & Alicia Fox (With Rosa Mendes). Tamina & Alicia get the win when Tamina pins AJ.

Cody Rhodes comes out and rags on Daniel Bryan saying he’s a loser just like the fans and the baggers hand the paper bags to the crowd. Another good promo from Cody.

Matt Striker interviews Great Khali and Jinder comes in and tells Khali that he will lead by example and they walk off.

Yoshi Tatsu vs. Jinder Mahal. Jinder gets the win in a squash. Khali head vice grips Tatsu afterwards.

Ezekiel Jackson vs. Intercontinental Champion Wade Barrett for the Title. Jackson wins by count out. Gabriel and Slater double team Jackson afterwards but Jackson fights them off while Barrett walks to the back. This match was kinda so so and the finish was weak.

Christian and Sheamus are in the back and they go back and forth for a bit and Christian reminds Sheamus that he is in charge in tonight’s match and that Sheamus should worried about Orton. Good stuff from both guys.

Daniel Bryan vs. Ted DiBiase, Junior. Daniel Bryan wins by submission. Cody and Ted beat down Bryan after the match and Sin Cara makes the save.

Johnny Curtis cuts a promo in the back about because he won Season 4 of NXT he would get a Tag Title match with his pro R-Truth, but he says that won’t happen. He says he’s going to do what any other superstar would do. He takes out some milk, pretends to cry and pours it on himself. Not a bad promo from Curtis and I’m glad they mentioned that he was supposed to get a Tag Title match.

World Champion Randy Orton vs. Sheamus for the Title with Christian as the guest referee. Sheamus bumps into Christian and Christian starts favoring his arm. Sheamus pins Orton and Christian does 1-2-oh my arm bit. Orton then hits the RKO and Christian counts 3. Christian then hits Orton with the Title afterwards. Christian then takes the belt and walks out with it hoisting it over his head. This was a great match.

This was a really good episode of Smackdown as always. Easily the best wrestling show of the week.
