Report by: Jason Namako of Wrestleview.com
Yes guys, its me, your friendly neighborhood indy wrestling recapper, Jason Namako, here to fill in for my fellow staff member Mike TABASCO to recap this week's edition of Friday Night Smackdown.
So if you all are ready, then let's get on with the show!
We see the usual intro for the show, then Lillian Garcia introduces the #1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Title, The Big Show!
Big Show makes his way to the ring and grabs a microphone.
Big Show: "Now in 4 weeks at the Hell in the Cell PPV, I have an opportunity to regain the World Heavyweight Championship when I face Sheamus". "Now last Monday, Sheamus was joking around, showing everyone how confident he is because I'm sure Sheamus thinks he has a plan". "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth". "This is the first time I'll face Sheamus one-on-one, which means Sheamus hasn't had the sad misfortune of having his skull caved in by my fist". "Now at Hell in the Cell, when I defeat Sheamus to become the new World Heavyweight Champion, Sheamus can take comfort in the fact that he's joining a very elite group of victims".
Show motions to the Titantron where we see a video package highlighting the many superstars Big Show has knocked out with the WMD.
Big Show: "That's fantastic". "Look at that group of victims, the Hall of Famers, the Undisputed 1st time champion, the Best in the World, the Franchise, the 9-time World Champion, that is a group of people that I have walleyed and they all have one thing in common, this fist (looking at it) punched every single one of them right in the mouth". "Look at that, look at the size of that".
ITS A SHAMEFUL THING, LOBSTER HEAD!
That means only one thing as the World Champion Sheamus makes his way to the ring.
Sheamus: "You know Show, thank you very much for the heads up, I really appreciate it". "But, I'll be honest with you, last Monday night, I was joking around, I wasn't taking it seriously". "You know, I'll be honest with you right now, my match with you at Hell in the Cell, fella, that's gonna be the biggest fight in my entire life". "So, I just wanted to come down here and look you right in the eye and say............may the best...man....win".
Sheamus extends his hand to Show, but Show shakes his head "No" and leaves the ring as the crowd boos. Show starts to walk to the back, but then Sheamus gets the mic again.
Sheamus: "Hey Show, you know what, fella, you're right, everybody has a plan like Daniel Bryan had a plan at the TLC PPV last year". "Let's see how that worked out, huh?"
We see video on the Titantron from last December's TLC PPV when Daniel Bryan cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase and defeated a knocked out Big Show, who had just won the World Title from Mark Henry, to win the World Title, giving Show the shortest World Title reign in history of 2 minutes.
Coming back from the video, Show has his head down in shame.
Sheamus: "I don't know about you, but that was rough, huh?" "Daniel Bryan also had a plan at Wrestlemania, why don't we see how that worked out?"
We go back to the Titantron as we see video from Wrestlemania 28 when Sheamus defeated Daniel Bryan in 18 seconds to win the World Title.
Coming back from the video, Show walks back to the ring and when he gets back in the ring, he is now the one who extends his hand out. Then, in a role reversal, Sheamus refuses the handshake and leaves the ring while Show is standing in the ring in anger as we go to commercial.

Otunga says that on behalf of the entire WWE locker room, he wants to thank Alberto Del Rio. Orton has been a menace for an entire decade and he wants to thank Del Rio for standing up to him.
We hear Orton's music, but instead of Orton, we see Del Rio coming out in Orton's infamous saunter. Otunga is seen laughing at Del Rio's mockery of how Orton comes to the ring. Del Rio then mocks Orton's infamous pose on the ropes before getting the mic.

Del Rio mocks Orton's pose again, but then we hear the music of Smackdown General Manager Booker T.
Booker says that because Del Rio took care of Orton, is schedule is open for tonight. So, because of that, he has scheduled a tag team match. Del Rio & Otunga vs............and then we hear the music of the Tag Team Champions, or at least one of them as Daniel Bryan makes his way to the ring, screaming "NO!" Then, we hear Kane's music as the Big Red Machine makes his way to the ring, leading to.......

Teddy says that he did not tell Eve to suspend Beth Phoenix last week. Eve says he did, but its not uncommon for a man in their "advanced" years to forget. Teddy says that Booker T is an inexperienced GM, but if he was in charge, Eve would be out the door. Booker then walks in as he only heard the last thing that Teddy said. Teddy tries to explain, but Booker says that he is in charge, not Teddy. Booker asks for a minute with Teddy and Eve leaves. Booker asks if Teddy is jealous of Eve and Teddy says no. Booker says both Teddy & Eve are great assets in his administration, but he will not have them two bickering like cats & dogs.
