Smackdown Spoilers 24/6

Dark Match:

*Johnny Curtis defeated Tyson Kidd

WWE Smackdown, Airing Friday:

Smackdown opened with Teddy Long to address the World title controversy from Capitol Punishment. Long calls Christian to the ring. Christian says he deserves another title shot. Long tells him he has to earn it, so it's Kane vs. Christian to determine the new number one contender tonight.

Sin Cara defeated Ted DiBiase in a good match.

Cody Rhodes came out for his match with Daniel Bryan. Bryan came out and said that unlike what Cody thinks, looks aren't everything and showed a photo of Dusty Rhodes on the Titantron. He said Dusty may not have been the best looking guy but had charisma and was a good person, something Cody is not. DiBiase comes out when the match begins. Cody gets the win.

Johnny Curtis vignette in catering. He stands in front of a table with ketchup, mayo and mustard. He takes the first two and leaves the mustard, because he can cut it.

Backstage, Matt Striker interviews Big Show about being attacked by Mark Henry. Show says he's going to get Henry back when Henry spears him out of nowhere into the set. The referees help Show up and out as Henry walks off.

WWE Intercontinental champion Ezekiel Jackson has his first title defense, defeating Wade Barrett.

Jack Korpela interviews World champion Randy Orton. He says that Christian getting another opportunity to be the number one contender is comical but if he has to, he will defeat him again.

Backstage, Wade Barrett comes across Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel. They mock him for losing to Jackson and say they are going to go out there and do something he can't - win.

Justin Gabriel & Heath Slater defeated the Usos.

Jinder Mahal vs. Yoshi Tatsu never happened as Mahal attacked Tatsu and laid him out. Mahal cut a promo saying Great Khali is done kissing fat women and they will dominate.

Mark Henry attacked Kane to cause a DQ in Christian vs. Kane. Randy Orton came out to even things up. Teddy Long made it a tag match. Orton nailed Christian with an RKO but Henry nailed Orton with the World's Strongest Slam and pinned him, so Christian ends up with a title shot at the MITB PPV.

A third chance at the title?
Surely that means he's going to win it?

Either that, or there will be a screwy finish in the Smackdown Money In The Bank where Christian wins the briefcase which would be awful.

Are you meaning that Christian wins the title only for the MITB winner to run in and get it off him immediately afterwards to irk the IWC to a whole new level?

That is another situation, and probably a lot better than what I was on about but I meant for the World Heavyweight Title match to be before the Smackdown MITB match. We'd then have Christian do an Edge 'Ultimate Opportunist' style moment and storm the ring late in the match and nab the briefcase. If that makes sense?

Surely Henry will want in on the title match, if Christian became no.1 contender due to his pinfall

I am now thinking that my idea is how they will play it. Surely a 3rd PPV in a row with the same guys involved means a title change? But with it being MITB it sets it up for the briefcase winner (which will probably be the 1st match) to then take it to continue to grow Christian's heel character and build up the IWC backlash (which makes them watch it more).

he's going to need the double ladder anyone remember that it was massive

I agree with you, that does look the most likely outcome. But where does that leave Orton? I just hope that if the above scenario is true and we crown a brand new World Heavyweight champion ie Barrett or Rhodes. We don't get Orton squashing them less than a month later at Summerslam to get the strap back.
