SmackDown results: Bryan becomes the man of Steel By: Michael Burdick November 25, 2011 Tags: SmackDown: November 25, 2011
WILKES-BARRE, Pa. Less than two hours after unsuccessfully cashing in Money in the Bank due to a technicality, Daniel Bryan propelled himself into a World Heavyweight Championship Match against Mark Henry this Tuesday on a special LIVE holiday edition of SmackDown on Syfy at 8./7 CT - hosted by Mick Foley.
Daniel Bryan triumphed in a Fatal 4-Way World Heavyweight Title No. 1 Contenders Match (WATCH | PHOTOS) In a whirlwind Fatal 4-Way Match, Daniel Bryan, Randy Orton, Wade Barrett and Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes faced off to decide who would challenge an injured Mark Henry for the World Heavyweight Championship this Tuesday.
Just when Orton looked ready to close the door on Bryan in the conclusion of the explosive showdown, Barrett pulled The Viper out of the ring and extinguished his offensive with a DDT. Rhodes seized the opportunity, attempting to pin the fallen Bryan. However, out of nowhere, Mr. Money in the Bank turned the tide, locking in the LeBell Lock to make the Intercontinental Champion tap out.
After the bell, an infuriated Rhodes attacked the triumphant Superstar. But, Randy Orton quickly put a stop to his offensive, hitting the aggressor with the RKO and allowing Bryan to savor his moment.
As a result of his mega-victory, Bryan earned himself a World Heavyweight Title Steel Cage Match against Mark Henry on a LIVE holiday edition of SmackDown, this Tuesday at 8/7 CT on Syfy. Ted DiBiase def. Heath Slater (WATCH | PHOTOS) As Ted DiBiase and Heath Slater were set to lock horns, Jinder Mahal appeared on the TitianTron admonishing the leader of the "DiBiase Posse" in both Punjabi and English for forsaking his family, wealth, and upbringing to hang out in parking lots with a bunch of mere commoners.
Slater took advantage of the distraction, attacking his opponent from behind. This set the ground work for an intense battle between the two determined Superstars. Despite a hard-fought match by The One Man Southern Rock Band, DiBiase ultimately reigned supreme with Dream Street.
Sheamus & Zack Ryder def. United States Champion Dolph Ziggler & Jack Swagger (WATCH | PHOTOS) Dolph Ziggler did not come to SmackDown at a loss for words, as both Vickie Guerrero and the bleach blond champion openly bragged about his two victories at Survivor Series five days ago.
Still, all the talk in the world couldnt stop the United States Champion from getting pinned by Zack Ryder for the third time in a month, this time in tag team action. The Long Island Iced Z executed the Rough Ryder leg lariat on Ziggler for the victory just seconds after Sheamus avoided the Zig Zag with a display of incredible power.
Divas Champion Beth Phoenix & Natalya def. AJ & Kaitlyn (WATCH | PHOTOS) One week ago, Kaitlyn was noticeably upset when her partner AJ tapped out to Natalyas Sharpshooter to end their match against the "pin-up strong" duo. This week, Michael Cole reported that the blonde Divas frustration came from the large amount of attention her partner was paying to Daniel Bryan, rather than focusing on their matches.
In their tag team rematch with Alicia Fox sitting in with the SmackDown announce team Natalya again scored a victory over AJ with the Sharpshooter. However, after the bell, Kaitlyn decided to walk out on her best friend, leaving Natalya free to put AJ in another submission hold trying to make the spunky Diva cry. Without A-Fox intervening, AJ might have been locked in the painful maneuver indefinitely.
Hunico def. Justin Gabriel (WATCH | PHOTOS) Knocking Justin Gabriel off the top rope, an extremely brutal Hunico flipped down onto his high-flying opponent to claim a huge win.

The Worlds Strongest Champion denied that he got himself intentionally disqualified at the Silver Anniversary of WWEs second longest running pay-per-view, saying his adversary made that up to make him look like the bad guy. When Big Show emerged, Henry declared that there wouldnt be a title rematch. Instead, he called the giant The Worlds Largest Loser, inspiring the massive Superstar to knock him out with the WMD. Moments later, Daniel Bryan stunned the WWE Universe by emerging to cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase and pin the out-cold Henry for what appeared to be the biggest victory of his career! However, his hopes and dreams were quickly crushed, when SmackDown GM Theodore Long informed him that because The World Strongest Man was injured and not medically cleared to compete, the pin was invalid.
Returning the Money in the Bank briefcase to Bryan, Long proclaimed that he would compete in a Fatal 4-Way main event to decide who will face Henry for the World Title during a LIVE episode of SmackDown this Tuesday at 8/7.
Speaking to SLAM! Wrestling, Gail Kim explains why she disobeyed WWE by controversially eliminating herself from the Divas Battle Royal on the August 1 episode of Monday Night Raw. She says it was the culmination of all the disrespect she felt from WWE.
"I don't regret what I did at all. It was a respect thing," Kim says. "I was told to get eliminated as soon as possible, so that's what I did. I saw my decision as a case of either continuing to take their lack of respect or doing something about it.
"Nobody knows what I went through in terms of disrespect during my time there, but that move wasn't just about me it was a culmination of all the disrespect I felt that all the other women and the women's division as a whole had received too, I was taking a stand.
"While a lot of fans watching Raw noticed what I did, nobody from WWE noticed, that just shows how much they didn't care. I went up to Johnny [John Laurinaitis] after and spoke about the Battle Royal and his reaction towards the match was, 'Yeah, I heard it was pretty shit.' I was amazed and I then told him how I eliminated myself and he just laughed.
"How can fans take the division seriously if the people working for the company aren't? If it had been one of the men who had eliminated themselves they would have been punished, but because it was the women nobody cared, not even after I had told them."
A few days later Kim announced on Twitter that she had quit WWE, however, she was not permitted to bolt. What followed was a standoff between WWE and their former Women's Champion, which saw her forced to sit out the remainder of her contract.
"WWE are notoriously known for being controlling when it comes to your career, that night of the Battle Royal I went to Johnny and told him I quit, I said I don't want your money; I just want to be free. He told me that it shouldn't be a problem, but of course it was," Kim says.
"They didn't want me to work elsewhere, at this time I told him, 'What does it matter if I leave or not? You're not using me, it's not like I'm valuable to you just let me go,' but there was no budging."
After sitting at home for over two months waiting out the remainder of her contract, Kim finally made her much anticipated return to TNA Wrestling on the October 20 episode of Impact Wrestling, when she aligning herself with Madison Rayne and Karen Jarrett. Being a TNA Knockout means everything to her.
"I'm just so excited to be back in the company, I can't speak for anybody in particular but the feeling I got when I came back was that there were no hard feelings about my previous decision to leave. Being back here feels like time has never passed.
"I think everyone kind of expected me to return. I said in my last interview when I was leaving that I would probably be back, everyone has been real welcoming, it's like being a part of a family here at TNA. It's great to see the growth that this company has made since I've been gone, it's nice to see the direction its going and where they want to be heading."
She adds, "I'm just so happy to be here and to now be a part of a company once again that actually cares about wrestling."

Update on Undertaker's status for Wrestlemania Posted by Roscoe De Soto on 11/23/2011 at 08:53 PM

The Undertaker has had another hip and shoulder operation since hes been away from the ring. Last year around this time there was doubt in Takers health for WrestleMania but the latest word is that hes recovered well and is ready for Miami. We dont know yet who Takers opponent is for WrestleMania 28 but word is that it has already been decided on. WWE officials have reportedly decided on the top three WrestleMania matches, including John Cena vs. The Rock, and Takers match will be the #2 top match on the card.
The new TNA brand that will be taped in India and broadcast there over the Colors Network will have its first set of tapings in mid-December. I am told that some talents have started to be quietly signed for the project but haven't confirmed any names yet.
This is the new project we wrote about a few weeks back being headed by Jeff Jarrett that Dutch Mantel, Dave Lagana and Rudy Charles will be working on. The TNA letters will not be used for the project.
TNA Wrestler Jesse Neal Spoke with the Wrestling Marks of Excellence Radio show about his status with TNA.
Neal said he is still under contract with TNA and he is currently scheduled for the upcoming set of tapings at the impact zone in Orlando. He did admit that he was offered training in OVW but the two sides so far have not agreed to compensation for working there.
As we mentioned some time ago, AAA was scheduled to have another television taping in San Louis Pittosi. The event was cancelled. AAA did not give any reason why.
John Morrison is finishing up with WWE and his final date will be next Mondays RAW Supershow.
Word going around is that TNA is very interested in bringing in Morrison and Melina as a couple. TNA is looking at making Morrison the star attraction of the X Division. There are early plans to have him feud with Austin Aries. No word yet if Morrison has spoke with TNA, directly or in-directly.
Its said that Morrison wants out of WWE and the company wants him gone also.
If Morrison goes to TNA, he would have to use a different ring name as WWE owns the rights to the "John Morrison" name/gimmick.

-- During Monday's Raw SuperShow, WWE displayed a graphic pointing to a YouTube page. The page features a cryptic video teasing the return of a familiar wrestler on January 2, 2012the first Raw of next year. WWE's latest cryptic tease inevitably led to speculation that absent talent Chris Jericho could be returning to the organization. Jericho, however, has already dismissed the possibility.
When asked by a Twitter user what he's doing on January 2, 2012, he responded, "Working in Hawaii."
Wrestling Observer editor Dave Meltzer reported over the weekend that contract negotiations between both parties recently fell through and that a possible return is now considered a "dead issue."
- WWE Diva Layla will be returning to the ring from injury soon. She did a chat on WWE's website last night before RAW and was recently featured in a poll asking who should face Beth Phoenix for the Divas Title next. Layla won the poll with 55% of votes.

At the end of Monday's RAW, we saw The Miz unleash a brutal attack on his former tag team partner, R-Truth.
The former members of Awesome Truth wrote the following on Twitter last night regarding their team's dissolution:
The Miz: "So in order to trend all I had to do is SCF Truth? #ThatsWhatsUp"
R-Truth: "Getting up to go get checked out,,but having balancing problem...can't think straight..."
The WWE website has a new video of The Miz up after attacking R-Truth on last night's RAW Supershow. Miz says he did what he did because he's tired of people getting in his way and slowing him down.
IT BEGINS: Transcript Of WWE's Crytic Promo Posted by Dave Mitchell on 11/21/2011 at 10:24 PM
On Mondays RAW, when WWE was showing one of the Twitter on-screen graphics, the image got fuzzy and briefly showed a URL to a Youtube channel It Begins 2012.
The URL revealed a cryptic video of a young student talking about something big occurring on Monday, January 2nd, 2012 when RAW is live from Memphis, TN.
The boy who was narrating the video said:
"Come my people and shut thy doors about thee. For a power should come to punish the meek for their inequity. For on the second day of 2012, a familiar force shall arrive to claim what is his. And it will be the end of the world as you know it."
