SmackDown (Airing May 4th on SyFy):

* The show opens with a video package looking back at Extreme Rules, followed by World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus coming out to the ring and calling out Daniel Bryan by mocking the YES chants. Apparently, they will have a rematch from the pay-per-view right now.

* World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus b. Daniel Bryan via disqualification in a non-title match when Alberto Del Rio attacked Sheamus. After the match, Del Rio applied the cross arm breaker on Sheamus for a good while. Trainers helped Sheamus to the back for further evaluation.

* WWE Tag Team Champions Kofi Kingston and R-Truth b. Camacho and Hunico in a non-title match when Truth hit the Lie Detector on Hunico. After the match, Kingston and Truth had a staredown with the former champions Epico and Primo, who were watching the match from the stage with Abraham Washington and Rosa Mendes.

* It is announced that the main event will be a tag team match. It will be Randy Orton and WWE Intercontinental Champion Big Show vs. Cody Rhodes and Kane.

* “The Funkasaurus” Brodus Clay w/The Funkettes b. Jack Swagger w/Dolph Ziggler and Vickie Guerrero via disqualification when Ziggler interfered. After the match, Clay took out both men and then chased Vickie to the back. This is re-taped later, but with a count out finish instead of DQ.

* Backstage, Alberto Del Rio and Daniel Bryan argue about who is next in line to World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus. Eve Torres walks up to them and says that she will decide who is next in line to face Sheamus for the title once he is medically cleared to compete, which she just so happens to be going to check on.

* Damien Sandow comes out to the ring as he is scheduled to face Derrick Bateman his in debut match. Instead, he says he is far better than an miscreant and an ignoramus like Bateman and says he will not compete tonight. As Sandow leaves, Ryback makes his way to the ring.

* Ryback b. Derrick Bateman with a running muscle buster.

* Randy Orton and WWE Intercontinental Champion Big Show b. Cody Rhodes and Kane when Orton hit the RKO on Kane and Show hit the W.M.D. on Rhodes at the same time.

* It is announced that World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus has been medically cleared to compete and his opponent will be Daniel Bryan.

* Backstage, Theodore Long is approached by Aksana, Antonio Cesaro and Eve Torres. Eve tells Long to oil up Antonio.

* WWE Divas Champion Layla b. Natalya in a non-title match with her finisher.

* A video package plays showing AJ’s unusual behavior the past few weeks.

* Backstage, Kaitlyn is approached by AJ. AJ tells Kaitlyn that she would like to apologize for what happened last week. Kaitlyn forgives AJ and then AJ slaps her again before running off.

* Alberto Del Rio makes his way to ringside to join the announce team for the next match.

* World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus b. Daniel Bryan with a Brogue Kick despite interference from Del Rio. After the match, Bryan and Del Rio argue while Sheamus celebrates in the ring to close the show.

Don't see what is so confusing. The first post makes perfect sense.

Between the conflicting reports on the slap, the oil segment and the joke post about the main event that was taken seriously by some people, insanity broke out.

Backstage, Kaitlyn is approached by AJ. AJ tells Kaitlyn that she would like to apologize for what happened last week. Kaitlyn forgives AJ and then AJ slaps her again before running off.

So I assume they are stopping the dbry stuff for now and have now turned AJ heel to feud with her former best friend?

It is heel AJ so no complaints.

Wait if AntOnion Cesaro didn't wrestle that night, what's the point of oiling him up? Oh god fanfic playah playah.

Embarass Teddy. He's having to oil up the guy who tounged his girl in front of him last week.

Ryder had more pride.

Ryder got kicked in the nuts by the chick who kissed his boyfriend.

Well, AJ posted a random link to some love song on Twitter yesterday, so I imagine it isn't completely over yet. They're probably just going to be building this up for a bit, I assume.

Damn, D-Bry! You already have Punk at OTL for the WWE Championship. What more do you need?!

Reading some of the comments for that song. And the message of that song really does fit AJ's current character. Someone who can not get over her last love and would do anything just to get even a fraction of that love back. It's kinda sad when you think about it.

You know what would be weird, if Antonio doesnt even have a match now after Teddy oils him up.

I posted that before the spoiler. Now I wish I never said it. No time for a Cesaro match this week. Really

Here's another report from Pro-Wrestling.net:

Good crowd. Pretty much sold out tonight. Much better than the abysmal 1,000 or so who attended the post-Labor Day Smackdown taping. 1/2 of the arena was tarped off for that one.

Michael Cole, Booker T and Josh Matthews on commentary. Lilian Garcia is the ring announcer.

Lilian introduced World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus, who cut a brief promo to start the show. Sheamus said he loves to fight (a promo straight out of Finlay's playbook) so when Daniel Bryan asked for a rematch he simply answered "YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!" [Cue loud "YES!" chants from the Toledo crowd.] Out came Daniel Bryan. Sheamus continued "YESing" through Bryan's entrance. Doesn't look like we're getting the main event that was advertised last night.

1. Sheamus and Daniel Bryan fought to an apparent no-contest. Alberto Del Rio and Ricardo Rodriguez interfered to cause the finish. Ricardo hit a (from my vantage-point) picture-perfect cross body on Sheamus followed by a kick from ADR. Bryan then locked Sheamus in the Yes! Lock before being pulled off by Scott Armstrong and Chad Patton. Daniel Bryan then argued with ADR and Rich Rod, almost coming to blows.

Backstage, the WWE medical staff evaluated Sheamus.

2. WWE Tag Team Champions Kofi Kingston and R-Truth defeated Hunico and Canacho. Primo, Epico and Rosa (accompanied by AW) were out before the bell to watch the match. They "scouted" from chairs that were set up on the ramp.

3. Brodus Clay defeated Jack Swagger (w/Dolph Ziggler and Vickie Guerrero) via DQ when Ziggler interfered. Ziggler took what looked like a hellacious bump from Brodus's running headbutt on the outside apron by the announce table. Dolph, again, sells like a champ. I'm interested to see how that looks on TV. Clay cleared the ring of Ziggler/Swagger following the interference and danced w/five kids in the ring (JYD-style) after the match. Nice touch.

The advertised main event for the night was now Randy Orton and Big Show vs. Kane and Cody Rhodes.

The same Extreme Rules video package from last night was shown, modified slightly to include the final segment from last night's Raw with John Cena and John Laurinaitis.

Eve was involved in a backstage segment with Daniel Bryan and Alberto Del Rio. Nothing notable here.

Damien Sandow was shown walking down the hallway while piano music played in the background. He debuts next. [EDIT: Maybe not.]

Derrick Bateman got a jobber entrance.

Sandow entered to Leonard Cohen's classical music piece "Hallelujah." Funny stuff. He responded to a "WHAT?" crowd chant with "Thank you for your irrelevant contribution." He said he wouldn't indulge the WWE Universe or Bateman (whom he called a "miscreant") with a match. Sandow left. "You're welcome." Bateman demanded an opponent nonetheless. He got one...it was Ryback.

4. Ryback defeated Derrick Bateman in a total squash.

5. Randy Orton and Big Show defeated Kane and U.S. Champion Cody Rhodes.

Backstage, Matt Striker caught up with Sheamus, who sported a heavily-taped shoulder and said he "came here to fight." Striker concluded that it looks like they'll have their match after all.

Vickie Guerrero re-emerged with Jack Swagger and Dolph Ziggler. Swagger demanded a rematch from Clay, saying nobody could beat him twice in one night. Looks like they're re-taping this one.

6. Brodus Clay defeated Jack Swagger via countout. Much shorter match than the first. Ziggler's bump in this match was less impactful, taking a forearm from big Brodus. No kids into the ring to dance post-match this time. Expect a lot of post-production if this version of the match is used. The crowd was understandably bored seeing this the second time around.

Natalya came out for the jobber entrance.

7. WWE Divas Champion Layla defeated Natalya. Layla won in less than a couple of minutes.

Backstage, Eve directed the publicity photo shoot for Antonio Cesaro and Aksana and said something was missing. She said Cesaro looked too "dry" and asked for him to be oiled up. She told a staffer lady not to do it, instead demanding that Teddy apply the oil. He resisted at first, but after being told by Eve that he hadn't done anything all day, he gave in and rubbed down Cesaro. I'm disappointed I didn't get to see the former Claudio Castagnoli in action.

After the break, Kaitlyn told AJ she needed to stop having a pity party for herself. AJ delivered a hard slap to Kaitlyn that floored her.

Ricardo Rodriguez introduced Alberto Del Rio from the stage; ADR drove out in a fancy car. He is sitting in on commentary for the main event.

8. Sheamus defeated Daniel Bryan to retain the World Hvt. Championship. Sheamus threw Bryan into ADR, knocking him through the ropes. While Sheamus was distracted by ADR and Rich Rod trying to regain their composure, Bryan snuck up to the top rope. He leapt into a Brogue kick and Sheamus covered him for the victory.

This concluded the Smackdown taping.

I'm glad I'm going to physically be at next week's tapings so I won't have to figure out what other people did or didn't see.

I'd believe Flying monkeys and Christian's slaves but Nattie winning, not a chance.

[Jimmy]

Yeah why did they advertise that tag team main event for SmackDown last night anyway.
