The following contests are confirmed to take place on tonight’s edition of WWE Friday Night SmackDown!:

 

Non-Title: World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus vs. Ianshoku Dieno

At the upcoming WWE Over the Limit Pay-Per-View, Sheamus will put his World Heavyweight Championship on the line against the “Big Red Monster” Kane whilst the Japanese Superstar Ianshoku Dieno will also be in action at the Over the Limit Pay-Per-View as he will take on the “Fighting Irishman” Finlay. Before their respective matches at Over the Limit, however, the World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus will take on Ianshoku Dieno in tonight’s non-title Friday Night SmackDown! main event. Tonight will be the very first time that Sheamus and Dieno will ever have faced one another on SmackDown! however both Sheamus and Dieno participated in the 30 Man Royal Rumble match back at the WWE Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View in January, when Sheamus defeated twenty-nine other Superstars from both SmackDown! and Monday Night RAW in order to challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship in the main event of Wrestlemania, when he ultimately defeated the former Champion Big Show to become the new World Heavyweight Champion. Sheamus and Dieno also both took part in the Battle Royal prior to last year’s Wrestlemania, which was ultimately won by the mysterious God, who will also be in action tonight as he will take on Jack Swagger.

 

WWE Tag Team Champion Kofi Kingston versus Big Show

Also tonight on Friday Night SmackDown!, one half of the WWE Tag Team Champions Kofi Kingston will be in action as he will take on Big Show in singles competition. At the upcoming WWE Over the Limit Pay-Per-View Kofi Kingston and his tag team partner from Monday Night RAW, Evan Bourne, will put their WWE Tag Team Championships on the line in a Triple Threat tag team match against the team of Epico and Darren Young as well as the New Nexus pairing of Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel. Big Show will also be in action at the Over the Limit Pay-Per-View as he will be challenging Ezekiel Jackson for the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Tonight will be the first time that Kingston and Big Show will ever have faced one another in one on one competition.

 

God versus Jack Swagger

The very mysterious God will also be in action tonight on Friday Night SmackDown! as he will take on the “All American American” Jack Swagger. Tonight will be God and Swagger’s first ever match against each other on SmackDown! although they did face one another on three separate occasions last year on three episodes of the now defunct WWE Superstars. Their first singles match came on an episode of Superstars last April when God defeated Swagger. Swagger then got two all-important victories over God on consecutive episodes of Superstars last May. Both Swagger and God also participated in the SmackDown! Elimination Chamber match at last year’s WWE Elimination Chamber Pay-Per-View last February as Swagger defeated God, Alberto Del Rio, Cody Rhodes, Edge and the Undertaker to retain his World Heavyweight Championship. Both God and Swagger also took part in the 30 Man Royal Rumble match at this year’s WWE Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View in January, which was of course won by the current World Heavyweight Champion, Sheamus.

 

Edge versus Rob Conway

The “Rated R Superstar” Edge will also be in action tonight on Friday Night SmackDown! as he will face the “Con Man” Rob Conway in singles competition. Edge and Conway have faced one another on SmackDown! on three separate occasions in the past with Edge holding a hat-trick of victories over Conway as he defeated him in all three of their previous matches. Edge’s first victory over Conway came on an episode of SmackDown! last February, followed by Edge defeating Conway again when they next faced one another in March of last year. Edge and Conway’s most recent previous one on one encounter came on an episode of Smackdown! in June of last year with Edge once again defeating Conway. Edge and Conway also both participated in the 30 Man Royal Rumble match back in January of this year at the WWE Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View. That match was of course won by Sheamus as he defeated twenty-nine other men from both Monday Night RAW and Friday Night SmackDown! in order to earn the right to challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship of Wrestlemania. After defeating Big Show in the main event of Wrestlemania, Sheamus is now of course the reigning World Heavyweight Champion.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Trent Barreta versus Drew McIntyre

Finally, the high-fling daredevil Trent Barreta will be in action tonight on Friday Night SmackDown! as he will take on the Sinister Scotsman from Ayr, Scotland, the “Chosen One” Drew McIntyre. This match is a rematch from last week’s SmackDown!, the first episode of SmackDown! in May, as McIntyre defeated Barreta in their first ever singles meeting. However Barreta does hold an eight-man tag team victory over McIntyre from January of last year when Barreta teamed with Kofi Kingston, Ezekiel Jackson and JTG to defeat Dolph Ziggler, Alberto Del Rio, McIntyre and Tyler Reks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Quick Picks:

Non-Title: World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus versus Ianshoku Dieno

WWE Tag Team Champion Kofi Kingston versus Big Show

God versus Jack Swagger

Edge versus Rob Conway

Trent Barreta versus Drew McIntyre

 

 

 

(Predictions are welcomed, there will be a prediction contest held every month.)

Thanks for your comments. It's nice to see somebody enjoying the diary. As for God, he has indeed become a staple of the Friday Night SmackDown! roster.

 

If I had to give one piece of advice it would be the shorten the gap between the two sections of the show and previews. It's rather off-putting. That's my only criticism of this. :)

Tonight will be the very first time that this particular tag team contest will ever have taken place. Whilst Kane and the Undertaker are brothers and have teamed up with one another several times in the past, it’s worth noting that both Sheamus and Randy Orton are the most recent winners of the 30 Man Royal Rumble match at the WWE Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View as Sheamus won this year’s match back in January whilst Orton won last year’s Royal Rumble match.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

WWE Tag Team Champion Kofi Kingston versus Ianshoku Dieno

One half of the WWE Tag Team Champions, Kofi Kingston, will also be in action tonight on Friday Night SmackDown! as he will take on the Japanese Superstar Ianshoku Dieno. This Sunday at the WWE Over the Limit Pay-Per-View Kofi Kingston and his tag team partner from Monday Night RAW, Evan Bourne, will put their WWE Tag Team Championships on the line in a Triple Threat tag team match against the team of Epico and Darren Young as well as the New Nexus pairing of Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel. Ianshoku Dieno will also be in action this Sunday at the WWE Over the Limit Pay-Per-View as he will take on the Fighting Irishman Finlay. Kingston and Dieno have faced one another in singles competition just once before with Kingston defeating Dieno on an episode of Friday Night SmackDown! back in March of this year. Both Kingston and Dieno also participated in the Battle Royal prior to last year’s Wrestlemania, in a match that was ultimately won by the mysterious God, who also won the Battle Royal that took place before this year’s Wrestlemania. God will also be in action tonight on Friday Night SmackDown! as he will take on the “All American American” Jack Swagger in singles competition. Can Kingston pick up another victory over Dieno tonight?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

God versus Jack Swagger

As aforementioned, the mysterious God will be in action tonight on Friday Night SmackDown! as he will take on the always confident “All American American” Jack Swagger. This match is a rematch from last week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown! when Swagger was able to defeat God. Before last week’s match, God and Swagger had faced one another three times before. All three of their previous matches were on episodes of the now defunct WWE Superstars last year. God’s only victory against Swagger came in their first one on one match back on an episode of WWE Superstars last April. The following two weeks, on the first two episodes of WWE Superstars in May of last year, Swagger was able to avenge that loss with consecutive victories over God. Both God and Swagger also participated in the Friday Night SmackDown! Elimination Chamber match at last year’s WWE Elimination Chamber Pay-Per-View last February when Swagger defeated God, Alberto Del Rio, Cody Rhodes, Edge and the Undertaker to retain his World Heavyweight Championship. Both God and Swagger also took part in the 30 Man Royal Rumble match back at this year’s WWE Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View in January, in a match that was of course won by the current World Heavyweight Champion, Sheamus, as he defeated twenty-nine other Superstars from both Monday Night RAW and Friday Night SmackDown! to book his place in the main event of this year’s Wrestlemania. Sheamus then chose to move to SmackDown! and defeated Big Show in the main event of Wrestlemania to become the new World Heavyweight Champion.

 

Trent Barreta versus Drew McIntyre

Finally, the high-flying daredevil Trent Barreta will also be in action tonight on Friday Night SmackDown! as he will take on the Sinister Scotsman from Ayr, Scotland, the “Chosen One” Drew McIntyre. For the past two weeks on SmackDown!, the first two episodes of May, McIntyre has defeated Barreta. Can McIntyre pick up a hat-trick of victories over Barreta tonight? Barreta does hold one eight man tag team victory over McIntyre, however, as Barreta teamed with one half of the current WWE Tag Team Champions, Kofi Kingston, the current WWE Intercontinental Champion Ezekiel Jackson as well as JTG to defeat the team of McIntyre, Dolph Ziggler, Alberto Del Rio and Tyler Reks on the first Friday Night SmackDown! in January of last year.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Quick Picks:

World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus & Randy Orton vs. Kane & The Undertaker

WWE Tag Team Champion Kofi Kingston versus Ianshoku Dieno

God versus Jack Swagger

Trent Barreta versus Drew McIntyre

Big Show then claims that this Sunday at the WWE Over the Limit Pay-Per-View he will defeat Ezekiel Jackson to become the new WWE Intercontinental Champion. Big Show then grabs Jackson by the throat and hits him with a huge and devastating Chokeslam.

The World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus then joins Rosa in the ring and wishes her luck in her match against Maryse this Sunday. Sheamus also reminds the WWE Universe and Rosa that he will also be in action this Sunday at Over the Limit as he will put his World Heavyweight Championship on the line against Kane. Sheamus says that he will defeat Kane at Over the Limit and that he also believes that Randy Orton will defeat Kane’s brother, the Undertaker, in their match this Sunday at Over the Limit. Sheamus then invites Rosa to watch tonight’s Friday Night SmackDown! tag team maim event at ringside when Sheamus teams with Randy Orton to take on the team of Kane and the Undertaker. Rosa says that she won’t watch tonight’s main event at ringside as she will be busy preparing for her match this Sunday. However, Rosa does give Sheamus a kiss on the cheek. Layla and Michelle McCool then come to the entrance-way, and Layla has a microphone in hand.

Finlay says that Kofi Kingston put on a great performance earlier tonight on Friday Night SmackDown! and that he believes that Kingston and his tag team partner from Monday Night RAW, Evan Bourne, will be able to retain their WWE Tag Team Championships this Sunday at Over the Limit when they defend them in a Triple Threat tag team match against the team of Epico and Darren Young as well as the New Nexus pairing of Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel.

The following contests are confirmed to take place at tonight’s WWE Over the Limit Pay-Per-View:

 

WWE Championship: Last Man Standing Match: Daniel Bryan © vs. Rey Mysterio

At Wrestlemania back in March then Monday Night RAW’s Money in the Bank winner Daniel Bryan cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase following the Miz’s successful WWE Championship defence against Michael McGuillicutty of the New Nexus. Bryan then defeated the Miz to become the new WWE Champion for the very first time. At last month’s WWE Extreme Rules Pay-Per-View in April, Daniel Bryan defeated Rey Mysterio in a Falls Count Anywhere to make his first successful title defence. Tonight Bryan will look to defend the title for a second time as he faces Rey Mysterio again, this time in a Last Man Standing match. As well as defeating Mysterio at Extreme Rules, Bryan also holds three tag team victories over Rey as he and the WWE United States Champion Zack Ryder teamed up twice on episodes of Monday Night RAW in April to defeat the team of Rey Mysterio and John Morrison in tag team main events. More recently, Daniel Bryan teamed with Ryder just this past week on RAW in the evening’s main event to defeat the team of Mysterio and Ted DiBiase.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

World Heavyweight Championship: Sheamus © versus Kane

Back at the WWE Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View in January of this year, Sheamus defeated twenty-nine other Superstars from both Monday Night RAW and Friday Night SmackDown! to win the 2012 Royal Rumble match. Sheamus then chose to move to SmackDown! to challenge Big Show for the World Heavyweight Championship in the main event of Wrestlemania. Sheamus would go on to defeat Big Show at Wrestlemania to become the new World Heavyweight Champion for the very first time. Sheamus made his first title defence last month, in April, at the WWE Extreme Rules Pay-Per-View as he defeated Big Show in a Steel Cage match. Tonight Sheamus will be looking to retain the title again in his second title defence as he takes on Kane. Sheamus already holds two tag team victories over Kane as he teamed with the WWE Intercontinental Champion Ezekiel Jackson on the first Friday Night SmackDown! in May to defeat the team of Kane and Big Show in the evening’s main event. More recently, Sheamus teamed with Randy Orton just two days ago on Smackdown! in the evening’s tag team main event to defeat the team of Kane and his brother, the Undertaker.

 

WWE Tag Team Championships: AirBOOM! © vs. Epico & Young vs. Slater & Gabriel

Evan Bourne and Kofi Kingston are not only the longest reigning Champions in the WWE today, but they have held the WWE Tag Team Championships longer than any other team in WWE history. It was exactly one year ago today that Evan Bourne from Monday Night RAW and his partner Kofi Kingston, of Friday Night SmackDown!, defeated David Otunga and Michael McGuillicutty of the New Nexus to become the new WWE Tag Team Champions for the very first time. Since then Bourne and Kingston have gone on to make eleven successful title defences including defeating the team of Epico and Darren Young on three separate occasions as they defeated them at the WWE Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View back in January, the WWE Elimination Chamber Pay-Per-View in February and at Wrestlemania in March. Most recently, Bourne and Kingston defeated both Epico and Young as well as the New Nexus pairing of Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel in a Triple Threat tag team match at last month’s WWE Extreme Rules Pay-Per-View in April, and tonight Bourne and Kingston will once again take on both Epico and Young as well as Slater and Gabriel in another Triple Threat tag team match.

 

 

 

 

 

WWE Intercontinental Championship: Ezekiel Jackson © vs. Big Show

At Wrestlemania back in March Ezekiel Jackson defeated the former Champion Jack Swagger to become the new WWE Intercontinental Champion for the second time and made his first title defence last month at the WWE Extreme Rules Pay-Per-View as he defeated Kane, Edge and Swagger in a Fatal Four-Way match. Tonight Jackson will look to make his second title defence as he takes on Big Show.

 

WWE United States Championship: Zack Ryder © versus Ted DiBiase

At last month’s WWE Extreme Rules Pay-Per-View in April Zack Ryder defeated John Morrison in a First Blood match to become the new US Champion for the second time and will make his first title defence tonight as he will take on Ted DiBiase. Ryder already holds a tag team victory over DiBiase as he teamed with the WWE Champion Daniel Bryan to defeat the team of DiBiase and Rey Mysterio in the main event of this past week’s Monday Night RAW.

 

Randy Orton versus The Undertaker

The Undertaker and Randy Orton have met twice before in singles action in recent years, with the Undertaker defeating Orton at last year’s Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View and also defeating Orton on an episode of Friday Night SmackDown! last October. Tonight these two former World Champions will face one another again.

 

Finlay versus Ianshoku Dieno

Finlay defeated Ianshoku Dieno in an episode of Friday Night SmackDown! last month, in April, and that loss seemed to incense Dieno leading to tonight’s match. These two also both participated in last year’s Royal Rumble match.

 

Triple H and David Hart Smith versus The Uso’s

 

WWE Divas Championship: Maryse © versus Rosa Mendes

Bryan then kicks a defenceless Rey in the head which leads the Uso’s to drop Rey and allow him to fall to the floor. Ted DiBiase, Triple H and David Hart Smith then rush into the room in aid of Mysterio, and Bryan, Ryder and the Uso’s all quickly flee from the room.

The following contests are confirmed to take place on tonight’s edition of WWE Monday Night RAW:

 

Non-Title: WWE Champion Daniel Bryan versus Rey Mysterio

Last night at the WWE Over the Limit Pay-Per-View, Daniel Bryan defeated Rey Mysterio in the evening’s Last Man Standing main event to successfully retain his WWE Championship. Tonight, just twenty-four hours after their vicious Last Man Standing match at Over the Limit, Daniel Bryan and Rey Mysterio will once again face one another, this time in non-title action, in tonight’s Monday Night RAW main event. As well as defeating Mysterio at Over the Limit last night, Daniel Bryan also defeated Rey Mysterio in a Falls Count Anywhere match to retain his WWE Championship back at the WWE Extreme Rules Pay-Per-View in April, just last month. Bryan also holds three tag team victories over Mysterio as Daniel Bryan teamed with the WWE United States Champion Zack Ryder to defeat the team of Mysterio and John Morrison in tag team main events on two separate episodes of RAW back in April, last month. More recently, Daniel Bryan also teamed with Zack Ryder just last week in RAW’s tag team main event to defeat the team of Rey Mysterio and Ted DiBiase.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Non-Title: WWE United States Champion Zack Ryder vs. Ted DiBiase

Zack Ryder defeated Ted DiBiase at the WWE Over the Limit Pay-Per-View last night to successfully retain his WWE United States Championship. Tonight on Monday Night RAW, the US Champion Zack Ryder will once again take on Ted DiBiase, this time in non-title competition. Zack Ryder also holds a tag team victory over DiBiase after teaming with the WWE Champion Daniel Bryan in last week’s RAW tag team main event to defeat the team of Ted DiBiase and Rey Mysterio. Both Ryder and DiBiase were also involved in the Battle Royal prior to this year’s Wrestlemania as well as the Battle Royal which took place before last year’s Wrestlemania, both of which were won by the mysterious God of Friday Night SmackDown! Earlier this year, back in January, Ryder and DiBiase were tag team partners on an episode of RAW when they lost to the team of the Miz and John Morrison in the evening’s tag team main event. Ryder and DiBiase were also on the same team at last year’s WWE Survivor Series Pay-Per-View in November of last year when the current WWE Champion Daniel Bryan and his team of Triple H, John Morrison, Santino Marella and Vladimir Kozlov defeated the team of the current World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus, DiBiase, Ryder as well as both Jimmy and Jey Uso in a Traditional Survivor Series Elimination match.

 

WWE Tag Team Champion Evan Bourne versus Justin Gabriel

One half of the WWE Tag Team Champions, Evan Bourne, will also be in action tonight on Monday Night RAW as he will take on New Nexus member Justin Gabriel in singles competition. Last night at the WWE Over the Limit Pay-Per-View, Evan Bourne and his tag team partner from Friday Night SmackDown! Kofi Kingston defeated the team of Epico and Darren Young as well as the New Nexus pairing of Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel in a Triple Threat tag team match to successfully retain their WWE Tag Team Championships. Tonight will be just the second time that Bourne and Gabriel will ever have faced one another in singles action after Bourne defeated Gabriel on an episode of RAW just last month, in April. Bourne does hold several tag team victories over Gabriel; however, as he and Kingston also defeated Epico and Young as well as Slater and Gabriel to retain their WWE Tag Team Championships in another Triple Threat tag team match at last month’s WWE Extreme Rules Pay-Per-View.

 

 

 

 

 

Alex Riley and William Regal versus Epico and Darren Young

Epico and Darren Young once again failed to win the WWE Tag Team Championships last night at the WWE Over the Limit Pay-Per-View as Evan Bourne and his tag team partner from Friday Night SmackDown!, Kofi Kingston, defeated Epico and Young as well as the New Nexus duo of Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel in a Triple Threat tag team match to retain their WWE Tag Team Championships. Bourne will be in singles action tonight on Monday Night RAW as he will face Justin Gabriel whilst the team of Epico and Darren Young will take on the seemingly makeshift pairing of Alex Riley and William Regal. Tonight will be the very first time that this particular tag team match will ever have taken place.

 

Non-Title: WWE Divas Champion Maryse versus Alicia Fox

Maryse successfully retained her WWE Divas Championship at last night’s WWE Over the Limit Pay-Per-View as she defeated Friday Night SmackDown!’s Rosa Mendes. Tonight on Monday Night RAW Maryse will take on Alicia Fox in non-title action. Maryse has faced Alicia on RAW in one on one competition just once before as she defeated Alicia on an episode of RAW just last month, in April, in another non-title match.

Monday Night RAW begins with the WWE Champion Daniel Bryan making his way to the ring. Bryan reminds the WWE Universe that last night at the WWE Over the Limit Pay-Per-View he was victorious in the evening’s main event as he defeated Rey Mysterio in their Last Man Standing match to retain his WWE Championship. The Anonymous RAW General Manager then sends an email to Michael Cole announcing that at the upcoming WWE Fatal Four-Way Pay-Per-View Daniel Bryan will make his next title defence in a Fatal Four-Way match against Alex Riley, William Regal and Mark Henry. The Anonymous RAW General Manager also announces that Bryan will take on Rey Mysterio in tonight’s Monday Night RAW non-title main event. Finally, the email to Michael Cole also says that two of the challengers for the WWE Championship at the Fatal Four-Way Pay-Per-View, Alex Riley and William Regal, will team up tonight on RAW to take on the team of Epico and Darren Young. Daniel Bryan seems very upset that he will have to face Rey Mysterio again tonight on RAW, and says that it’s not fair that he is being treated so badly, and that RAW’s other Champions don’t seem to get this sort of treatment. The Anonymous RAW General Manager then sends another email to Michael Cole announcing that after Evan Bourne and his tag team partner from Friday Night SmackDown!, Kofi Kingston, defeated Epico and Young as well as the New Nexus pairing of Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel to defend their WWE Tag Team Championships last night, Bourne will also be in action tonight as he will take on Gabriel in singles competition. The Anonymous RAW General Manager also announces that the US Champion Zack Ryder will take on Ted DiBiase in non-title action tonight, and that that match will take place next, and that the Divas Champion Maryse will also be in non-title action later on against Alicia Fox.

The following contests are confirmed to take place on tonight’s edition of WWE Friday Night SmackDown!:

 

Non-Title: World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus versus Kane

This past Sunday at the WWE Over the Limit Pay-Per-View, Sheamus defeated Kane to successfully retain his World Heavyweight Championship. Tonight, in Friday Night SmackDown!’s non-title main event, Sheamus will once again take on Kane just five days after their title match at Over the Limit. Sheamus’ victory over Kane this past Sunday at Over the Limit was his first ever singles match against Kane, but the World Heavyweight Champion also holds two tag team victories over the Big Red Monster as in the main event of an episode of Friday Night SmackDown! earlier this month Sheamus teamed with Ezekiel Jackson to defeat the team of Kane and the new WWE Intercontinental Champion, Big Show. More recently, Sheamus teamed with Randy Orton in last Friday’s SmackDown! tag team main event to defeat the team of Kane and his brother, the Undertaker.

 

Non-Title: Champ vs. Champ: Tag Team Champ Kingston vs. IC Champ Big Show

Two of Friday Night SmackDown!’s Champions will go head to head tonight in a non-title “Champion versus Champion” match that sees one half of the WWE Tag Team Champions, Kofi Kingston, take on the new WWE Intercontinental Champion Big Show. This past Sunday at the WWE Over the Limit Pay-Per-View, Kingston and his tag team partner from Monday Night RAW, Evan Bourne, defeated the team of Epico and Darren Young as well as the New Nexus pairing of Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel in a Triple Threat tag team match to retain their WWE Tag Team Championships. We also learned this past Monday on RAW that at the upcoming WWE Fatal Four-Way Pay-Per-View Bourne and Kingston will once again put their titles on the line in a Fatal Four-Way tag team match against the team of Epico and Darren Young, the New Nexus pairing of Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel as well as the team of Jimmy and Jey Uso, collectively known as the Uso’s. Big Show defeated the former WWE Intercontinental Champion Ezekiel Jackson this past Sunday at the Over the Limit Pay-Per-View to become the new WWE Intercontinental Champion. Big Show and Kingston have only ever faced one another just once before, with Big Show defeating Kingston on an episode of SmackDown! just two weeks ago.

 

 

God versus Drew McIntyre

The mysterious God will also be in action tonight on Friday Night SmackDown! as he will take on the Sinister Scotsman from Ayr, Scotland, the “Chosen One” Drew McIntyre. God and McIntyre have faced one another several times over the past year and first competed against each other on an episode of SmackDown! in July of last year, with McIntyre picking up the all important victory on that occasion. God then defeated McIntyre on an episode of SmackDown! last October and then got another victory over McIntyre on an episode of SmackDown! last December. McIntyre evened the scores at two victories a piece back in February of this year when he defeated God on an episode of SmackDown! Both God and McIntyre were also involved in last year’s WWE Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View when they both competed in the 30 Man Royal Rumble match which was ultimately won by the “Viper” Randy Orton. God and McIntyre also both took part in this year’s Royal Rumble match, back in January of this year, which was of course won by the current World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus. God and McIntyre also both participated in the Battle Royal prior to this year’s Wrestlemania, which God eventually won.

 

Trent Barreta versus Rob Conway

The high-flying daredevil Trent Barreta will also be in action tonight on Friday Night SmackDown! as he will take on the “Con Man” Rob Conway in singles competition. Barreta and Conway have faced one another just once before on SmackDown!, with Barreta defeating Conway on an episode of SmackDown! back in March of last year. Both Barreta and Conway also participated in the 30 Man Royal Rumble match back at the WWE Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View in January, in a match that was eventually won by the current World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus. Barreta and Conway also both took part in the Battle Royal prior to this year’s Wrestlemania, which was won by the mysterious God.

 

Slam Master J versus Quentin Aries

The charismatic and unpredictable Slam Master J will also be in action tonight on Friday Night SmackDown! as he will take on the newcomer that calls himself “The Greatest Man that Ever Lived” Quentin Aries. Tonight will be the first time that Slam Master J and Quentin Aries will ever have faced one another and both will be looking to impress the SmackDown! General Manager Vickie Guerrero with a victory.

WWE Friday Night SmackDown! (Live from the MX Arena Naucalpan, 2,207 in Attendance)

 

Pre-Show: Edge versus Cody Deaner

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Edge defeated Cody Deaner in 18:06 by pinfall with a Spear.

Match Rating: D+

 

(Harvey Wippleman feels that Edge should not have been wrestling, as having injured wrestlers compete only leads to bigger problems.)

 

Non-Title: Champ vs. Champ: Tag Team Champ Kingston vs. IC Champ Big Show

In a bout that had a good crowd and good action, Big Show defeated Kofi Kingston in 8:17 by pinfall with a Choke Slam.

Match Rating: B-

 

Following the conclusion of Big Show’s victory over one half of the WWE Tag Team Champions Kofi Kingston in Friday Night SmackDown!’s opening contest, the new WWE Intercontinental Champion Big Show celebrates in the ring as Kingston slowly gets to his feet and heads to the back. Ezekiel Jackson, the man that Big Show defeated this past Sunday at the WWE Over the Limit Pay-Per-View to win the WWE Intercontinental Championship, then joins Big Show in the ring. Jackson takes a microphone and announces that at the upcoming WWE Fatal Four-Way Pay-Per-View Big Show will have to make his first defence of his WWE Intercontinental Championship in a Fatal Four-Way match against Jackson, Edge and Jack Swagger. Big Show simply nods at Jackson before heading to the back. Jack Swagger then rushes to the ring and kicks at Jackson’s leg from behind. Jackson immediately falls to the mat in agony as Swagger picks up the microphone and proclaims that he will be the one leaving the Fatal Four-Way Pay-Per-View as the new Intercontinental Champion.

Rating: C-

 

 

The World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus makes his way to the ring, and says that this past Sunday at the WWE Over the Limit Pay-Per-View he did what many thought that he wouldn’t be able to do as he defeated Kane to retain his World Heavyweight Championship. Sheamus goes on to announce that he will be facing Kane again in tonight’s non-title Friday Night SmackDown! main event. Rosa Mendes then joins Sheamus in the ring and tells the World Champion that she hates to be the bearer of bad news but that she has just learnt from the SmackDown! General Manager Vickie Guerrero that Sheamus will be putting his title on the line at the upcoming WWE Fatal Four-Way Pay-Per-View in a Fatal Four-Way match against Kane, Finlay, as well as Kane’s brother, the Undertaker. Sheamus simply smiles at this information and says that it’s only fair that both the Undertaker and Finlay will also be in the Fatal Four-Way match at the Fatal Four-Way Pay-Per-View after their victories this past Sunday at Over the Limit as the Undertaker defeated Randy Orton and Finlay picked up a big victory over Ianshoku Dieno. Sheamus says that he’s confident about tonight’s match against Kane, and he’s also confident about his title defence at the Fatal Four-Way Pay-Per-View. Sheamus then tells Rosa that she was so close to winning the WWE Divas Championship from Maryse at the Over the Limit Pay-Per-View but that Rosa shouldn’t feel down as we learnt this past week on Monday Night RAW that Rosa will be joining Natalya and Alicia Fox in challenging Maryse for the Divas title in a Fatal Four-Way match at the Fatal Four-Way Pay-Per-View. Rosa then thanks Sheamus for the support, before kissing the World Champion on the cheek.

The lights go out in the arena and the WWE Universe are treated to the legendary entrance of the Undertaker.

Rating: D-

 

The WWE Intercontinental Champion Big Show comes to the ring and claims that he did what he always does; dominate, in defeating Ezekiel Jackson this past Sunday at Over the Limit to become the new WWE Intercontinental Champion. Big Show declares that he will retain his title at the upcoming Fatal Four-Way Pay-Per-View when he must make his first title defence in a Fatal Four-Way match against Jackson, Swagger and Edge. Edge then joins Big Show in the ring and claims that he will be the one leaving the Fatal Four-Way Pay-Per-View as the new Intercontinental Champion.

Rating: C+

 

The World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus returns to the ring and proclaims that he will defeat Kane in tonight’s Friday Night SmackDown! non-title main event just as he defeated him this past Sunday at Over the Limit to retain his World title. Kane then joins Sheamus in the ring and grabs him by the throat before hitting him with a huge Chokeslam.

Rating: C-

 

Kane laughs at his actions after hitting the World Champion Sheamus with a Chokeslam, before Kane heads to the back. Rosa Mendes then rushes to the ring to try to aid the World Champion before Layla and Michelle McCool enter the ring behind Rosa’s back and both kick her in the head.

Good job Kijar....I just had a sick idea! Why don't you turn AirBoom heel? I mean....Kofi's had a few losses and I have NO IDEA what the heck happened to Evan Bourne, So I think a turn is in the works for them....And you should have Big Show turn face too. I hope these ideas are good ideas for you.
