WWE Smackdown 4-29-11 Results

Randy Orton opened the show by coming out to the ring. He introduced himself to the Smackdown crowd and said that after 5 years he is back on Smackdown via the draft. When he started to talk about his match with CM Punk at the Extreme Rules PPV, Drew McIntyre interrupted him and telling everyone that since he was drafted to RAW, the people would have to wait longer for an Orton v. McIntyre match. So he was only there to say "Hello" and "Goodbye". He kicked Orton in the stomach and hooked him for an underarm DDT, but Orton escaped and hit Drew with an RKO. Once Orton got on the microphone again, another new member of Smackdown, Alex Riley came out looking very intense and confronted Orton. Before either uttered a word, Orton hit Riley with an RKO and continued to try to address the crowd. But once again, before getting a word out, Alberto Del Rio showed up with Roberto Rodriguez and Brodus Clay. Del Rio said that Smackdown lost him to RAW. He and his men then surrounded Orton in the ring, but Christian ran out to the ring to intervene. Teddy Long came out and made a tag match for tonight of Christian and Orton against Del Rio and Clay.

Match 1: Kofi Kingston v. Shamus

Match 2: Jack Swagger v. Sin Cara

A very serious Michael Cole stood in the ring and sported a black eye. He introduced Jack Swagger who came to the ring and hugged Cole. Sin Cara then entered the ring with his impressive entrance of jumping into the ring over the top ropes. The multicolored lighting that lit his entrance stayed on throughout the duration of the match. Swagger countered Sin Cara's maneuvers at first and was able to dominate for a while. Cole snuck an object into the ring for Swagger and as Swagger attempted to use (what looked like a belt buckle), Sin Cara hopped on his shoulders and rolled him up for the win. Swagger charged him after the match and Sin Cara tossed him to the outside, and came off the top ropes landing on Swagger on the outside. Cole came to help Swagger up but told him that he didn't know what was wrong with him but Swagger needed to get his head back in the game.

Winner: Sin Cara

Match 4: Mark Henry v. Rey Mysterio

Rey Mysterio came to the ring in a RAW shirt. He said it would be hard to leave Smackdown. He talked about his upcoming Falls Count Anywhere match at Extreme Rules. He said no matter what brand he is on, all the WWE fans would always be part of the 619. When Henry came to the ring he was laughing and said that its unfortunate for Rey that his farewell, is Henry's debut. Rey put up a fight, but Henry was able to take over momentum of the match when he tripped Rey on the top ropes and then squashed him in the corner as Rey hung by his legs, upside down. Rey managed to kick out after the pin attempt that followed but Henry continued to dominate. He attempted to sit on Rey to squash his chest, but Rey moved out of the way. He quickly went to the top ropes and landed on Henry's chest, trying a pin, but was flung across the ring. This didn't stop the determined little man, as he launched Henry into the ropes and hit him with the 619. But as soon as this happened, Cody Rhodes showed up at ringside and yanked Rey to the outside where he assaulted him at ringside and out in the crowd. Cody then threw Rey back into the ring, where Henry hit him with a big body splash. Henry walked out of the ring and right past Cody laughing, while Cody found a paper bag, and went back into the ring where he placed the bag on the head of an unconscious Rey and left him laying.

Winner: Rey Mysterio (by Disqualification)

Match 5: Michelle McCool v. Layla

But it was not going to be that easy as they broke free and went at each other again. Layla then grabbed the microphone and challenged Michelle to a no rules match at Extreme Rules. As Layla walked away, Michelle accepted the match and added that she only excepts if the loser leaves WWE. Layla accepted as the two stared each other down.
