Smackdown SPOILERS 10/4

Out came Big Show, who begged for a little understanding from the crowd. After all, what kinda job options are out there for a giant? Out came Triple H, but not too close. From the ramp, he told Show not to worry about that mortgage anymore cause he paid off Show’s house, and now Hunter holds the mortgage! And, just to make tonight’s main event fair, Randy Orton will join The Shield in a handicap match against Show.

Cat calls, howls, and whistles means Lilian Garcia is in the ring to announce:

(1) Rob Van Dam beat Fandango via DQ due to interference from Summer Rae. Once RVD recovered, he went hardcore on Fandango. The beat down ended with RVD going coast-to-coast on Fandango in the corner covered by a garbage can.

(2) Ryback (w/Paul Heyman and Curtis Axel) beat R-Truth. Apparently Ryback needed a little motivation ‘round mid-match, so Heyman told him R-Truth is a bully.

Damien Sandow came out to the announce table to scout the next match...

(3) World Hvt. champion Alberto Del Rio beat Dolph Ziggler.

(4) Los Matadores beat 3MB.

(5) Brie Bella (w/Nikki Bella) beat Aksana. Post-match, A.J. Lee (with Tamina) came out to tell Brie what’s in store for her this Sunday at Battleground. A.J. threw in some references to Brie’s pending nuptials with Bryan. A.J. seemed to think that the doctor delivering any future child of their union will slap her rather than the child because it will be a goat baby.

(6) Kofi Kingston quickly beat Big E. Langston.

A promo on the Titantron for WrestleMania XXX in New Orleans brought out a “Who Dat” chant. As in “Who dat say gonna beat dem’ Saints?” Apparently not the Dolphins. We hope not the Bears.

(7) Main Event: Big Show beat The Shield (w/Orton) via DQ after Shield introduced a chair into the ring. A post-match beat down continued until The Usos came out, followed by Daniel Bryan to a huge pop. Faces cleared the ring to close the show.

Post-TV taping: Bryan didn’t get enough, so he called Orton back out. Orton came out a little too slow for Bryan, who ran down the ramp to speed things up. Back and forth ringside brawl until they’re both in the ring.

Dark Main Event: Daniel Bryan beat Randy Orton to close the show with YES’s!

Awesome show live. I’ll see you Friday when it airs. I’m Saints jersey #57 on the floor where The Shield comes out.
