WWE Smackdown house show report
June 26, 2011
Laredo, Tex.
Report by Ramiro, PWTorch reader

It was a pretty decent show. First out was Dusty Rhodes as live host, but he was interrupted by Cody Rhodes, who cut a heel promo that generated tons of heat. The promo led to Daniel Bryan vs. Cody Rhodes

(1) Daniel Bryan beat Cody Rhodes. Decent opener that got the crowd going. Bryan danced with Dusty afterwards.

(2) Jinder Mahal beat Yoshi Tatsu. Same stuff as on Smackdown.

(3) Kane beat Mark Henry in a Tables match. Pretty good match for two big men.

(4) Tyson Kidd beat Justin Gabriel. I thought this was boring!

(5) Intercontinental champion Ezekiel Jackson beat Wade Barrett to retain the IC Title. Barrett was mouthing with my friend throughout the match, otherwise the same as Kidd vs. Gabriel.

A dance contest ended up with all contestants going backstage.

(6) A.J. & Natalya beat Alicia Fox & Rosa Mendes. Rosa got major heat, surprisingly, in what was a pretty good tag match.

(7) Sin Cara beat Ted DiBiase. Huge pop for Sin Cara and huge heat for DiBiase in what was a pretty decent match.

(8) World Hvt. champion Randy Orton beat Christian in a No DQ match to retain the World Hvt. Title. Unbelievable pop for Orton in an awesome match. Sheamus interfered, but accidentally hit a Brogue Kick on Christian. Orton then hit two RKOs and won to send the crowd home happy.

Biggest Pops:

-- Randy Orton
-- Sin Cara
-- Kane

Biggest Heat:

-- Ted DiBiase
-- Christian
-- Rosa Mendes
