Friday Night Smackdown! – 12/19/09
Last night, Friday Night Smackdown had a big plot twist that you’re not going to believe! Here’s what went down:
Video Package: Who won the World Heavyweight Championship at TLC
Teddy Long comes out to the ring to say, “Tonight we’re going to figure out a new #1 contender!”
- He’s interrupted by Batista who says, “Look no further… make it right… you’re going to give me the title shot. Do you want me to go get a chair?!?”
- Interrupted by Rey Mysterio who says, “I’ll challenge you… you’re nothing but a bully! The best way for me to get back at you is to make sure that you NEVER get the World Heavyweight Title!”
- Teddy Long makes the match for later tonight, and the winner gets The Undertaker next week.
6-Man Tag Team Match
John Morrison, Matt Hardy & R-Truth vs. Drew McIntyre, CM Punk & Luke Gallows
WINNERS: McIntyre, Punk & Gallows via pin fall after Punk hit Hardy with his Slammy award.
Backstage: Maria & Mickie James are playing Smackdown vs. RAW 2010 when they’re interrupted by Beth Phoenix who’s upset with them for playing games. She says, “When I was Diva of the year, I was hungry for competition and that’s why I am the most dominant diva!”
Video Package: DX & Hornswoggle Christmas commercial for WWE Shop.
Eric Escobar comes out to the ring and says, “Sorry for all the phone calls from National Geographic. I told them I found ‘el chupacabra!'”
- Interrupted by Vickie Guerrero who’s pissed and says, “I know it’s your birthday, and I have a gift for you!”
Kane vs. Eric Escobar
WINNER: Kane via pin fall after hitting a choke slam.
- After the match, Vickie tells him, “Next time choose your words wisely!”
- Escobar replies, “Tomorrow I may still wake up sore, but at least I won’t have to wake up looking like that!”
Chris Jericho comes out to the ring and vents about how pissed he is about how he was screwed over by DX on Monday night, and now he doesn’t have his best friend, Big Show, by his side.
Chris Jericho vs. The Great Khali with Ranjin Singh
WINNER: The Greak Khali via count out. Jericho was about to get caught in the Khali Vice Grip and bailed out.
Hart Dynasty (Tyson Kidd & DH Smith with Natalya) vs. Jimmy Wang Yang & Slam Master J
WINNERS: Hart Dynasty via pin fall after hitting the Hart Attack
- After match, they say that next week, they’re going to make DX’s Christmas a sad one. Next week they face DX for the Unified Tag Team Titles!
Backstage: Beth Phoenix is leaving the locker room when she’s approached by Michelle McCool & Layla who ask her if their friendship is okay? They then go crazy making fun of Mickie James being “overweight” and Maria being “too thin” (look who’s talking!). They then say something about being “big boned” and it looks like that hits home with Beth, and she walks off for her match.
Beth Phoenix vs. Maria
WINNER: Beth Phoenix via pin fall after hitting the Glam Slam.
#1 Contenders Match
Rey Mysterio vs. Batista
WINNER: Rey Mysterio via small package pin fall out of nowhere. Batista had the match well in hand late, and Mysterio pulled out the upset!
QUICK THOUGHTS:
Todd Grisham has said multiple times over the past few weeks that Drew McIntyre is undefeated… um, I beg to differ. He’s undefeated in SINGLES COMPETITION. He lost just this week on Monday at the Slammy Awards in a 6-man tag. He lost in the replacement match for Bragging Rights tag team match. If you’re going to say it, get it right, please!
Enough with the name calling garbage with the divas. First WWE calls Mickie James fat, now you’re saying Maria is too skinny and the words are coming out of the mouth of one of the skinniest divas on the roster that it’s scary in Michelle McCool. C’mon WWE! What the hell is wrong with you?!?
Looking forward to see the match next week between Hart Dynasty and DX for the tag titles. Hoping that something goes down where Harts win the match and the titles! It’s not that I think highly of the Harts, it’s I’m just really sick of DX.
Didn’t think Mysterio would pull out this #1 contenders match against Batista. He was getting demolished, but somehow he pulled it out. I have a feeling the World Heavyweight Title match is going to be a three way at the Royal Rumble because Batista is going to get involved next week in Rey’s match with the Undertaker.
