Last week's show is here: http://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2013/01/wwe-friday-night-smackdown-1182013.html
Kane and DB argued over who would win the Rumble until Big Show came out:
They announced that the Big Show wouldn't be in the Royal Rumble.
"On Sunday, I'm going to squish that bug and if you two don't get out of my way right now, I'll squish the both of ya." - Big Show |
"Daniel Bryan, you are making a big mistake. You are putting the cart before the horse, or should I say, the cart before the goat." - Sandow |
Naturally, like he always does, EVERY WEEK, Booker T came down to make a match.
Booker T made a 6-man elimination tag match between them.
Sheamus vs Wade Barrett
Sheamus got the win with a Brogue Kick. Very good match here with lots of clubbering and stiff shots. This is by far my favorite match between the two and is well worth a look. This is what I've been wanting from these two for a while now. Rating:***1/4
Natalya vs Rosa Mendes
"She serves a purpose. She's got many assets as you can see." - Epico on Rosa's role | "What role does she serve?" - JBL | "Uhh..(something in spanish} and she's a good dancer." - Epico |
CM Punk came out to call out The Shield:
Punk said he was scared of The Shield blowing it for him at the Royal Rumble. Heyman read a letter from the WWE Board saying that if The Shield interferes, Punk loses his title. He then called out The Shield.
"I've never asked you to attack Rock. I never asked you to attack Ryback at TLC. I never asked you for anything in my life." - CM Punk |
"If justice is what you stand for, then we never have to cross paths again." - CM Punk |
"If you smell what The Rock is cookin." - The Rock |
Randy Orton vs Drew McIntyre
If this was only under a different gimmick...
Jinder ran in for the DQ on Drew McIntyre. Orton beat up all of 3MB after.
The Miz vs Darren Young
The Miz won with a Figure Four in quick fashion, making both PTP's look like total goofs. Cesaro was at the booth for this but didn't say much.
Elimination Match - Alberto Del Rio and Team Hell No vs The Big Show and Team Rhodes Scholars
Damien Sandow got taken out quick with a Kane chokeslam.
Kane then got eliminated seconds later as Big Show KO punched him on the outside.
You can spot the production guys which is rather rare |
Alberto then got Show counted out with multiple kicks.
Alberto then won with a springboard enzugiri on Cody Rhodes. The match wasn't bad but it was rather quick and not that special. Decent stuff but it was weird how pretty much no one interfered or bothered to try and help their partners up while they were getting counted out. It was also kind of weird for ADR to get the winning pin on Cody and for the finish not to have Big Show in it.
Overall thoughts: Good show that was one of the more important SD's in a while. The Rock was good, the opener was good, the main event was decent and the closing angle was very good. Overall, this is a worthwhile SD that is worth a look.
