A cage is hanging above the ring.
The Smackdown opened with a recap of the main event at SummerSlam and the live crowd exploded with yes chants but booing when Randy Orton cashing was shown. They also recapped the events from Raw as well with the McMahons.
Vickie Guerrero opened the show to a ton of heat and introduced Randy Orton. He spoke about giving us what we want. It was hard to hear he got a lot of heat. He said that he told us the truth about cashing in his briefcase at SummerSlam. He said he was surprised by what Triple H did, and that he didn't need his help to win. He asked for our support and No! chants broke out. He said he is the face of the WWE.
Daniel Byran interrupted Orton and thanked John Cena for the opportunity at SummerSlam. Bryan said it's time for the face of the WWE to change. Bryan insulted how Orton looks and said he looks pretty. He also called Orton arrogant. Bryan said he had to scratch and suffer while Orton was handed every opportunity.
Bryan challenged Orton for the title by saying I can beat you for that pointing to the title. He challenged Orton for the title tonight, but Orton said it has to wait until Night Of Champions. Orton and Bryan stood face to face and Orton held up the title. Bryan hit and kicked Orton from the ring.
Vickie was show talking and yelling about What Bryan did backstage, and Wade Barrett interrupted. A steel cage match was announced for later in the show
1. Intercontinental Champion Curtis Axel (w/Paul Heyman) beat Cody Rhodes. A pretty well wrestled match from both men, but there is a reason this match was on Smackdown. The crowd was pretty quiet for this match. The guy next to me caught me taking notes and told me to pay attention. WWE fans are crazy. A CM Punk chant broke out.
Heyman cut a promo afterward and received a ton of heat. He said he is in pain because of Punk. He moaned about Punk and trashed him, which caused a lot of heat. Heyman said Punk is lost without him. Axel said Punk doesn't deserve a title shot for his title, but he challenged him for the title for this coming Monday on Raw.
2. Dolph Ziggler beat Big E Langston (w/A.J. Lee). Ziggler won by pinfall after a Zig Zag.
3. World champ Alberto Del Rio defeated Christian with the armbreaker in a great match. Christian is in control early after a dive to the floor. Del Rio works over Christian, who makes comeback but is sent off the top to the floor. Great series of near falls in this one.
After the match, Del Rio got on the mic and played to the fans, then turned on them. Ricardo came out and praised the crowd in Spanish, then brought out Rob Van Dam. Christian nailed ADR with a missile dropkick. Van Dam hit Rolling Thunder and he and Ricardo held up the World title.
4. Big Show and Mark Henry defeat 3MB in a handicap match. Show nails the WMD to get the win after getting a hot tag from Henry. Shield calls them out via the Titantron after.
5. Darren Young pinned Antono Cesaro despite the interference of Jack Swagger.
6. Daniel Bryan defeated Wade Barrett in a cage match. Bryan in control early before barrett throws him down. Barrett launches Bryan into cage for a two count. Barrett and Bryan exchange in the middle with Barrett rubbing Bryan's face into the cage. Barrett nailed a stiff kick in the middle for two count. Bryan fights back only to reverse whip into tunbuckle. Barrett back in control. Bryan reverses and uses three dropkicks to send Bryan into cage. Bryan tries to climb out but is forced into a top rope dropkick and a near fall. He nails Yes kicks in the middle but Barrett tosses him into the cage to regain control. Bryan nails the Electric Chair for another two count. Bryan tries to climb out and gets one leg out. They fight on top of cage. Barrett gets one leg out again but this time Bryan headbutts and kicks him down to the ropes and nails a powerbomb. Bryan nails the running knee for the win, so that appears to be a new finisher.
After the match, Bryan left the cage but was attacked by Randy Orton, who was hiding under the ring. Orton stands over Bryan as the fans chant "You suck."
