SMACKDOWN
Wk. 2, Nov. '11
Pre-show: Husky/Daivari d. Usos (61); Sheamus and Show have a rematch with Christian and Brodus (78); Laurinitis vents to Teddy about having to deal with the attack on HHH (58)
-Truth is out to the ring with Miz to talk about the #1 Contendership he won last week in the battle royal! He and Miz banded together and beat the conspiracies holding them down, just like he's gonna beat Mark Henry! He's cut off by OHHHHH RADIO. Ryder, who lost due to heel chicanery from the duo, inquires as to the seriousness of his brother. He thinks the shot should be rightfully his, but Truth informs him that he got GOT, and can't beat Henry anyway. Ryder is confident he could do it with the Zack Pack behind him, and challenges Truth to put his shot on the line! About that time, Laurinitis breaks things up. He's got a lot on his plate tonight, so he's going to make it short and sweet. He's giving Ryder the shot...IF he can make good on his word tonight and beat Awesome Truth AND Henry in a tag match. Ryder gets two partners of his choice, because Laurinitis has bigger things to worry about after HHH was taken out. Neither Ryder nor Truth seem too happy about this.
Rating: 75
-Match: Tajiri v. Barrett
I think I've debuted Tajiri? Whatever, he's only on a short term contract and gonna job every time :\ Like now. Now is a time he jobs.
Rating: 60
-Barrett says the Barrett Barrage rolls on, despite a few bumps in the road. (referring to his loss to Bryan at Vengeance and battle royal loss last week) He's the future of the WWE, but now it's time to become the present. Orton puts an end to the promo, calling Barrett a has-been rather than an up and comer. Everybody knows Barrett hasn't done a damn thing since he got kicked out of Nexus. Orton thinks it's kind of pitiful the way Barrett struggles for relevance. Barrett invites Orton into the ring to settle things, but refs break up the confrontation.

-Match: AJ and Gail d. Natalya and Rosa
Rating: 66
-Match: Sin Cara v. Sin Cara II
Sin Cara's out first...and gets dropkicked out of his boots by II, who was hiding behind the WWE logo on the stage! Cara II hits some flippy moves on the stage and ramp, securing a decisive advantage before the match starts (68). Mistico is able to turn the tables for a while, but ultimately comes up short after the cheap shot.
Rating: 59
-Match: Hart Dynasty d. Young and Bateman
Rating: 50
-Cody is sent out to save us from all this crap. He scoffs at Yoshi Tatsu being considered a worthy challenger for the prestigious IC Title! He wants Yoshi to prove he deserves this opportunity before he taints the belt's lineage just by retaining it!
Rating: 65
-Match: Yoshi v. Carlito
Yoshi rises to the occasion, going after Carlito with an unusual amount of fire and securing what could be considered an upset win.
Rating: 66
-Christian's in the ring, and wants to address Sheamus man to man. They have a tag match tonight, but he has come to the realization that all this fighting is pretty silly. Sheamus reluctantly comes out to hear what Christian has to say. Christian wants him to come down to the ring and shake hands, but Sheamus is a bit too smart for that, and stays out of the ring. Brodus runs in from the crowd anyway and jumps him! Sheamus is taken out by a 2 on 1 assault before Show can show up to make the save.
Rating: 88
-Match: Zeke and Del Rey v. Dibiase Jr. and Tamina
Dibiase and Tamina seem to enjoy their pairing, but this is obviously designed as a showcase for SDR, and she picks up the win with the Awesome Riff.
