World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus def. Tensai
In a brutal clash of the titans
both inside and outside the ring, Sheamus battled the formidable Tensai. And after enduring a tremendously painful offensive at the hands of his massive opponent, The Great White hit the Brogue Kick out of nowhere for the victory, nearly taking Tensai’s head clean off in the process.
Nevertheless, with just 16 days until he faces Del Rio at SummerSlam, one has to wonder whether the fierce SmackDown showdown — as well as the Street Fight with Daniel Bryan on Monday’s Raw — is wearing away at the World Heavyweight Champion .
After That Booker T named Teddy Long as the senior adviser to the smackdown general manager.
Antonio Cesaro def. United States Champion Santino Marella in a Non-Title Match
Saying hello to the WWE Universe in five different languages — proof of yet another unique talent of the up-and-coming Antonio Cesaro — the dangerous Superstar battled United States ChampionSantino Marella for the second week in a row.
Despite the fact that The Italian Stallion requested the rematch — looking to prove that the upset victory by the Swiss Superstar one week ago was nothing more than a fluke — the champion would come up short yet again.
Though Santino was able to hit the Cobra, the referee stopped his three-count attempt when he noticed Cesaro’s leg was under the ropes. Quickly turning the tables, the recovering Superstar from Switzerland hurled the titleholder into the unforgiving barrier outside the ring. This took enough out of Santino for Cesaro to send him crashing to the canvas with The Neutralizer, en route to his second non-title victory in two weeks!!!
Daniel Bryan, Dolph Ziggler & Intercontinental Champion The Miz def. Kane, Christian & Chris Jericho in a Six-Man Tag Team Match
SmackDown GM Booker T continued to light up Friday night with a special Six-Man Tag Team showdown between some of WWE’s hottest all-stars.
In the critical moments of the turbulent contest — amid the chaos that cleared the ring of the four non-legal competitors — Chris Jericho managed to lock in the Walls of Jericho on Daniel Bryan. Then, when Vickie Guerrero distracted the referee on the ring apron so Dolph Ziggler could attempt to turn the tide, Jericho released his painful submission maneuver and blasted The Showoff with the Codebreaker.
Though this brought the WWE Universe to its feet, it also gave Bryan the time he needed to roll up the first-ever Undisputed WWE Champion for the quick victory.
Ryback def. Jinder Mahal by Disqualification

Cody Rhodes confronted former adversary and new SmackDown General Manager Booker T
Former Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes interrupted a meeting between GM Booker T and Divas Champion Layla, to get a few things straight with his former adversary. However, in the end, he would walk out with nothing more than the knowledge that he will face Sin Cara next week on SmackDown.
Randy Orton def. Alberto Del Rio by Disqualification
In an explosive main event that saw Randy Orton return to SmackDown for the first time in two months, WWE’s Apex Predator would take on the No. 1 contender to the World Heavyweight Championship, Alberto Del Rio.
Just when it looked as if The Viper might be ready to put The Mexican Aristocrat down, his opponent’s personal ring announcer, Ricardo Rodriguez, interfered in the match, bringing about the disqualification.
In the post-match fury that followed, Orton repelled Del Rio’s assault, expelling his opponent from the ring in painful fashion. But the fireworks did not end there. As Del Rio was getting to his feet, The Great White emerged, wasting no time in hurling SummerSlam challenger back through the ropes to set up a thunderous RKO, courtesy of The Viper.
