Smackdown SPOILERS 7/13
Smackdown started off right after Raw went off the air.
(1) Alberto Del Rio beat Sin Cara via armbar submission. Interesting note Sin Cara was escorted to and from the ring in handcuffs by INS, DEA, and FBI agents.
Big show and Zack Ryder were shown backstage, with Show saying he should be Smackdown GM instead of Ryder. He threatened to KO him, but out came Great Khali. Ryder informed Show that he was his opponent tonight.
(2) Primo (w/Epico and Rosa Mendes) beat Darren Young (w/Titus O'Neil and AW). Primo got a roll-up pin to upset D-Young.
World Hvt. champion Sheamus was shown with Ryder along with Jericho backstage. Sheamus challenged Jericho to a match, and Ryder made it official.
(3) Dolph Ziggler w/Naomi & Cody Rhodes beat U.S. champion Santino & IC champion Christian. Ziggler got the win with a roll-up.
Daniel Bryan is shown backstage looking sullen and sulking. Ryder runs into him and they exchange words. Bryan pins him against the wall. Ryder reminds Bryan that he is acting GM for the night and he better watch his step. Bryan says he doesn't care and he's going to unleash his frustrations on someone tonight. Ryder thinks it's a good idea and books him against Ryback.
(4) Big Show beat Great Khali in two minutes. Show KO'ed Khali, who got a loud pop after initially knocking down Show.
Bryan is shown backstage preparing for his match when he is knocked out by a suited Snitsky via giant scepter. He is then slowly dragged away.
WWE promoted the Money in the Bank PPV pre-show match of Kofi & R-Truth vs. Hunico & Camacho.
Before the start of the Ryback vs. Daniel Bryan match, an elegantly dressed Heidenreich delivers a hand written note to the ring announcer. It states that Daniel Bryan has more important obligations and therefore will not be able to face Ryback. Heidenreich gets on the mic and pulls out a brick of money stating that whoever face Ryback in Bryan's stead will get 50,000 dollars. Outcomes Tyler Reks.
(5) Ryback beat Tyler Reks. Heidenreich and Ryback had another intense staredown as he entered the ring. Ryback actually had to work for the victory, as it wasn't handed to him. The crowd was still chanting Goldberg's name, but everyone was chanting, "Feed me more," by the end of it. After the match Heidenreich goes nose to nose with Ryback and brushes shoulders with him as he goes to talk to Reks. He reaches into his suit jacket and instead of money, he pulls out an iron phallus which he uses to knock out Reks. He pulls Reks out of the ring by his dreadlocks and tosses him into some ring steps.
(6) Damien Sandow beat Justin Gabriel. Sandow put on a great match, dominated most of it, and ended up winning.
A contented Ezekiel Jackson, Heidenreich and Snitsky are shown eating a large dinner in an opulent locker room. Daniel Bryan is also there. Jackson encourages Bryan to enjoy himself with food and drink. Jackson says he's been watching Bryan, even when he and his handlers take small vacations, such as last week, he's watching. He has a set of eyes always watching Bryan. And he doesn't mean Heidenreich and Snitsky. He saw what happened on RAW, and his first thought was to brutally beat and molest Bryan, but decided against it. He realizes that Bryan is a confused and desperate man, and desperate men will do anything to achieve victory. He urges Bryan to use the confusion and desperation in his heart to win Sunday night and he wishes him the best of luck. Jackson, Heidenreich, and Snitsky toast to Daniel Bryan's victory at MITB PPV. Snitsky informs Bryan the meat they're eating is rump roast and they'll have another dinner party after the PPV. Bryan will either be the guest of honor, or the main course. Bryan is visibly disturbed.
(7) World Hvt. champion Sheamus beat Chris Jericho in a non-title match. Very exciting match - the best of Smackdown. After surviving not one, but two Walls of Jericho, Sheamus came back with a Brogue Kick to win. A great 18-minute match.
Alberto Del Rio came out to attack Sheamus at the top of the ramp. He gave him a cross-arm submission. Sin Cara and the two masked paramilitary men confront Del Rio and state that everything changes unless he wins the title Sunday. The two masked Federalis jump Del Rio and leave him laying, a white powdery substance is sprinkled on his body.
