SmackDown results: Henry crushes the competition By: Michael Burdick August 19, 2011 Tags: SmackDown: August 19, 2011 BAKERSFIELD, Calif. Returning from a vicious No Holds Barred Match at SummerSlam with the World Heavyweight Championship firmly in his grasp, Randy Orton watched as Mark Henry used his uncontrollable fury to win a Battle Royal and become the new No. 1 contender to his coveted title.
Mark Henry won a 20-Man No. 1 Contenders Battle Royal (WATCH | PHOTOS) Twenty SmackDown Superstars competed in an epic Battle Royal, fighting for the right to become the No. 1 contender to Randy Ortons World Heavyweight Title. And the mayhem that ensued only served to increase the rage of one Mark Henry. While still officially part of the match in the ring, The Worlds Strongest Man extended his furious aggression to the ringside area, hurling eliminated competitors down onto the steel steps, into the ringside barricade and over the announce table.
With evidence of his carnage everywhere, Henry joined Sheamus, Barrett and Sin Cara as the last four Superstars in the match. The infuriated grappler would ultimately reign supreme, sending Sin Cara over the top rope, seconds after treating the masked Superstar to the Worlds Strongest Slam. And as the smoke cleared, the new No. 1 contender stood nose-to-nose with the World Heavyweight Champion. Divas Champion Kelly Kelly & A.J. def. Natalya & Alicia Fox (WATCH | PHOTOS) Although Natalya continued to demonstrate her in-ring dominance in tag team action, her partner Alicia Fox could not rise to the occasion. When A-Fox missed the scissors kick, Kelly Kelly turned the tables, blasting her with the K-2 legdrop for the victory.
Following the match, an argument ensued between Alicia and Natalya over the loss. When the former turned away, one-half of the Divas of Doom knocked her from the ring, locking her in the excruciating Sharpshooter.
Undisputed WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio def. Daniel Bryan (WATCH | PHOTOS) As the new Undisputed WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio addressed the WWE Universe with a superior smile, Daniel Bryan came forth to take him to task. However, in a hard-fought rematch of their explosive battle from one week ago, The Mexican Aristocrat once again defeated the SmackDown Money in the Bank winner with the cross armbreaker.
Del Rio opted to continue his assault on Bryan after the match, drawing the ire of Sin Cara. Rushing to the rescue, the gravity-defying Superstar expelled the WWE Champion from the ring, leaping off the top turnbuckle and onto his elitist target. Justin Gabriel def. Tyson Kidd (WATCH | PHOTOS) After a recent trip to his home country of South Africa (WATCH), the energized Justin Gabriel took down Tyson Kidd, reigning supreme over the Hart Dungeon graduate with the dazzling 450 Splash.

And while the former champion was nowhere to be found, SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long proclaimed that WWEs Apex Predator would next defend his championship against the winner of a main event 20-Man No. 1 Contenders Battle Royal.
Moments later, Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase emerged, bringing about a Legacy reunion. However, deciding he had heard enough from his former cohorts, The Viper hit DiBiase with the RKO. In doing so, Orton took out Ezekiel Jacksons scheduled opponent. So, Teddy Long went to Plan B informing Rhodes that he would have to face The Personification of Domination for the Intercontinental Title.

- With the exception of John Morrison and a few others, there weren't a lot of people within WWE sad to see Melina go because of the reputation she had developed. The same deal applies for Gail Kim to an extent. Officials felt that Kim speaking out was getting the other Divas riled up.

- Word on why WWE hasn't publicly announced the suspension of Andy Leavine is that they are going through the motions to make sure his Wellness failure is legitimate, like checking to see if he was prescribed something by a doctor or other steps along those lines. Andy also may be offered a second test but that's not confirmed. There have been situations where a talent failed a Test, then took a second one and proved they were clean.
Andy reportedly failed his Wellness Test right before SummerSlam some time. It was also noted that Andy is still technically a developmental talent and WWE usually doesn't announce suspensions, releases or failures from developmental.
- Kevin Nash reportedly tried returning to WWE TV without dying his hair black but officials insisted that he dye it black because they wanted him to look younger. Nash tried to get out of it but WWE wouldn't budge. It's said that Nash prefers his gray hair and when he was in TNA, people pushed for him to dye it but he wouldn't.
- WWE United States Champion Dolph Ziggler indicated on Twitter that he is suffering from a pulled groin. Ziggler didn't wrestle on Monday's RAW but defeated Alex Riley in the SummerSlam dark match.
Sin Cara Update: Nuclear Backstage Heat, Hunico Posted by Dave Mitchell on 08/17/2011 at 05:39 PM
Last week on SmackDown, we saw developmental wrestler Hunico make his WWE television debut, donning the mask of Sin Cara while the original Sin Cara (Luis Ignascio / Mistico) finishes up this 30-day suspension this week.
A WWE source has informed us that it was in fact Hunico working as Sin Cara once again at Tuesday's SmackDown tapings from Bakersfield, California - set to air on Syfy this Friday night.
Luis Ignascio, will be eligible to return to WWE this weekend - but many are questioning whether he'll be brought back at all. After a rocky start in WWE over the past several months due to blown spots, poor matches and an overall underwhelming rookie year, the original Sin Cara reportedly has "nuclear" backstage heat on him.
During a commercial break during the Rey Mysterio vs. Alberto Del Rio WWE Title match on Monday's RAW, Rey was limping around the ring while Del Rio worked the crowd. Fans in attendance note that Rey's knee was clearly hurting. Rey was trying to move his knee around and talked with a WWE crew member at ringside. To fans in attendance, it looked as if Rey was seeing if he could continue. They came back from commercial and WWE ended up doing the injury angle with Rey after Del Rio won the match.
After RAW, while John Cena and CM Punk were ending the show with Del Rio and Ricardo Rodriguez, Mysterio was getting looked at by WWE trainers at ringside. Trainers looked at Rey for over 5 minutes as Cena and Punk closed the show, according to a fan in attendance. Rey was finally helped to the back by a WWE trainer and a referee.

-Hornswoggle's music hits and he comes out with rookie Titus O'Neil and AJ. AJ and Hornswoggle are holding hands like they've been the past few weeks. They all three have mics. Titus welcomes the crowd to NXT. Titus says both he and Hornswoggle have been on journeys lately, but Hornswoggle's has been a journey of love. He says Hornswoggle has something to tell AJ. Hornswoggle mumbles unintelligibly at AJ, and Titus translates. He says "He couldn't think of a better diva to spend time with than you." Hornswoggle gets down on one knee and presents AJ with a ring pop. AJ responds positively and Titus informs her that the ring represents a promise that she'll be his forever. It's only a small token of what she means to him. AJ says that this has never been about size. She says it doesn't matter what size he is, all that matters is the size of his heart. Derrick Bateman's music hits and out comes Bateman looking none too pleased. Bateman stands on the ramp and says that he's literally regurgitating his dinner at the thought of this. This is a competition, not an episode of "As The Leprechaun Turns." He says if Hornswoggle believes that anyone could love him, he's as dumb as Titus looks. Titus suggests that Bateman goes back to the locker room before he kicks his teeth in. Bateman says he hates to break it to Titus, but he's going to be winning this season of NXT. He points at AJ and Hornswoggle and says he can't tell who's the leprechaun and who's the troll. Titus invites Bateman to the ring, and Bateman says "Why don't you make me?" Hornswoggle and Titus oblige and chase Bateman to the back.

JTG hits the ropes again, but Tyson trips JTG and applies a quick half crab. JTG has no choice but to tap out.
Winner: Tyson Kidd
-Some Japanese characters appear on the tron and a gong sounds (not like Undertaker's, mind you). Tyson looks confused as we go to Matt Striker.
-Matt Striker is backstage in ring gear. He says he knows he lost last week, and he won't make excuses like Darren Young does. He says there is a fine line between making a difference and making an excuse. He knows that he's ready for Darren Young, and that Darren Young isn't ready for Matt Striker. That match is coming up next.

Striker follows and Young gets back in quickly. Striker applies a Fujiwara armbar, which Young counters into a roll-up for a two-count. Striker's on the apron and Darren follows. Darren hits an impressive back suplex onto the side of the apron, and gets back into the ring. Striker reels on the outside and gets back into the ring, and Darren applies a body scissors. Striker slowly gets to his feet and forces Darren into the corner. A European uppercut from Striker and a big boot takes Young down. Young gets up on the apron and Striker picks him up from inside the ring. Young tries to hit a sunset flip, but Striker catches him and hits a very impressive swinging neckbreaker from the top rope. He goes for the pin but Young gets his foot on the rope. Darren gets up and tries to get Striker on his shoulders for his finisher, but Striker wiggles out and hits a back stabber for a long two-count. Striker's getting fired up and goes for a Mahistrol cradle, but Darren gets up and picks Striker all the way up from the ground and hits his gutbuster finisher for the three-count.
Winner: Darren Young
-Darren Young's been bleeding slightly from the mouth since early on in the match. Young celebrates as we go to commercial.

-Derrick Bateman comes out with Maxine, who attacked AJ earlier tonight. Bateman says that standing next her makes her more than just a woman. He tells the audience to stands up to respect the love of his life, his soulmate, his girlfriend, Maxine. Maxine takes the mic and says to Hornswoggle: "You wish you could handle a real woman like me." But she says that he has to settle for something less, like AJ. If he thinks she's causing problems for him now, just wait.

Titus hits the ropes but Bateman hits a kitchen sink, which gets a surprising amount of heat. Bateman locks in a cravate front facelock, but yet again, Titus fights out. A botched sequence of Bateman trying to jump over Titus leads to a very improvised-looking spinebuster from Titus. Titus hits the ropes and hits a flying clothesline and a shoulderbreaker for a two-count. Bateman gets to his feet and tries to hit his "Man-tastic" finisher, but Titus picks him up and tosses him out of the ring. Maxine goes over to Bateman, but so does Titus, so she backs off. Bateman gets back in the ring and attacks Titus on the apron. The referee breaks it up and Maxine grabs Titus' leg. This distracts Titus long enough for Bateman to roll Titus up for the win.
Winner: Derrick Bateman

CM Punk Reveals Offers He Received While Away Posted by Dave Mitchell on 08/15/2011 at 03:58 PM
CM Punk says he received some of the "most ridiculous offers from the most unbelievable sources" during his brief time away from WWE last month after the Money in the Bank pay-per-view.
During a radio interview with Mark Madden from last week, Punk acknowledged that he was brought back to television too soon and there were a "billion" scenarios that could have played out prior to his return. After acknowledging that WWE brought him back sooner than expected to give a jolt to business, Punk said:
Now youre getting into the numbers side of the business. Sure, I would have loved to drag it out. Theres a billion different scenarios you could have done. I could have went and worked indies. I had the most ridiculous offers from the most unbelievable sources. Ill write a book some day and itll be a hell of a chapter."
"It would have been fun to go do commentary for like Titan Fighting Championship, it would have been fun to maybe show up at a ROH show, or go bother Gabe at Evolve, do all kinds of fun stuff. The bottom line is we have a TV show and a pay-per-view to sell. Basically its the hottest thing and you just kind of ride it until the wheels fall off."
Could it have been done in a more entertaining way? If everything is selling out and business is awesome, then yeah, maybe. Maybe.
John Morrison def. R-Truth in a Falls Count Anywhere Match Divas Champion Kelly Kelly & Eve def. The Bella Twins Jack Swagger def. Alex Riley Kofi Kingston & Evan Bourne def. WWE Tag Team Champions David Otunga & Michael McGillicutty in a Non-Title Match Undisputed WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio def. Rey Mysterio
California scheming By: James Wortman August 15, 2011 Tags: Raw: August 15, 2011 SAN DIEGO Still reeling from the contentious conclusion of SummerSlam, the WWE Universe received little in the way of clarity from WWEs Chief Operating Officer Triple H, whose officiating miscue during the anticipated Undisputed WWE Championship Match at The Biggest Event of the Summer was the first of several injustices to befall former WWE Champions John Cena and CM Punk at the STAPLES Center.
Yet, 24 hours removed from a shocking series of events that resulted in Alberto Del Rios Money in the Bank-assisted WWE Championship victory, Raw was host to the newly minted champions first-ever title defense against longtime nemesis and 619 native Rey Mysterio.
Undisputed WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio def. Rey Mysterio (WATCH | PHOTOS) Three weeks after winning and losing the WWE Championship in a single night on Raw, Rey Mysterio wanted nothing more than to reclaim the illustrious prize in the heart of the San Diego. After nailing Del Rio in the face with his iconic 619, it seemed as though The Ultimate Underdog would begin his second WWE Title reign in his hometown, live on Raw. However, as Mysterio soared through the air to further punish Del Rio with a diving splash, the defending champion countered by getting his knees up.
The Mexican Aristocrat wasnt satisfied with simply pinning Mysterio and defending his new title. After putting down Rey-Rey for the three-count, Del Rio ruthlessly applied his tendon-snapping cross armbreaker submission hold. If John Cena hadnt charged the ring to chase off the arrogant aggressor, Del Rio would have no doubt broken Mysterios arm. The scheming Superstar fled to the entrance ramp with his personal ring announcer Ricardo Rodriguez, but The Cenation Commander-in-Chief assured the dastardly titleholder that his days as Undisputed WWE Champion were numbered.
You are not a champion, Cena warned. Youre a target.
Kofi Kingston & Evan Bourne def. WWE Tag Team Champions David Otunga & Michael McGillicutty in a Non-Title Match (WATCH | PHOTOS) They might not be experienced as tag team partners, but the high-flying tandem of Kofi Kingston & Evan Bourne turned plenty of heads in their non-title clash with reigning WWE Tag Team Champions David Otunga & Michael McGillicutty.
The reigning titleholders tried to keep Air Bourne & The Dreadlocked Dynamo grounded, but were ultimately no match for this high-energy tandem. After Kingston stunned McGillicutty his former NXT Rookie with Trouble in Paradise, Bourne nailed the prone WWE Tag Team Champion with his patented Shooting Star Press to pick up the win.
Jack Swagger def. Alex Riley (WATCH | PHOTOS) The business relationship between United States Champion Dolph Ziggler & Vickie Guerrero has surely seen better days, especially after her involvement in Zigglers match with Alex Riley the previous week resulted in a humiliating defeat for the blond Superstar.
Things were tense as Vickie & Dolph argued at the announce table for Rileys joust with Jack Swagger, with the U.S. Title holder insisting he would have decimated A-Ry if Vickie hadnt tried to help. Frustrated, Vickie eventually got up from the announce table and tried her hand at disruption again, this time using WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross iconic cowboy hat to distract the referee and Riley long enough for The All-American American to capitalize and score the pin. Ziggler then gleefully and disrespectfully stomped J.R.s hat before leaving the ringside area.
Later, Swagger approached Vickie in the locker room area, suggesting that like all great managers throughout WWE history including Bobby The Brain and Classy Freddie Blassie Vickie would do incredibly well with multiple clients. Showing appreciation for her underhanded assist the former World Heavyweight Champion gave the calculating cougar plenty to think about.
CM Punk interrupted Kevin Nash (WATCH | PHOTOS) Triple H calls himself The Game, and according to his longtime friend Kevin Nash, hes been playing some games as well. Big Daddy Cool revealed that at SummerSlam, he received a text from Triple Hs phone that instructed him on no uncertain terms to take out whoever won the Undisputed WWE Championship Match.
As the competitor to simultaneously become the Undisputed Champion and make himself the latest victim of Big Sexys dreaded Jackknife Powerbomb, Punk had reason to speak up following Nashs revelation, accusing the veteran grappler of being a liar and placing blame for the incident on his massive shoulders. The two former WWE Champions laid into one another with a succession of cutting remarks, but it was Punk would get the last word when he vowed to obtain the truth about Nashs SummerSlam involvement from the WWE COO himself.
Divas Champion Kelly Kelly & Eve def. The Bella Twins (WATCH | PHOTOS) They might not be as physically intimidating as the Beth Phoenix & Natalya, but Divas Champion Kelly Kelly & Eve showed the self-proclaimed Divas of Doom that cute, perky competitors are never to be underestimated.
One night after successfully defending her butterfly-emblazoned championship against the mighty Glamazon, Kelly Kelly teamed with the gorgeous Eve to take on the devious Bella Twins. In spite of Nikki & Bries ruthless tactics, Eve sealed a victory with an impressive moonsault off the top rope.
Natalya & Beth came out to the stage after the bout to offer their congratulations ... and what appeared to be an unspoken threat.
The Miz sounded off on Jared from Subway (WATCH | PHOTOS) The Miz might have a distaste for most things, but he evidently loves to eat fresh. Taking aim at Subways weight-loss wunderkind Jared Fogle, who was sitting in the front row, The Awesome One remarked that he could be a better spokesperson for the sandwich shop and lauded the deliciousness of Subways Oven Crisp Chicken Sandwich. And to think, Miz usually makes the WWE Universe lose its appetite!
John Morrison def. R-Truth in a Falls Count Anywhere Match (WATCH | PHOTOS) Over the last several weeks, the unpredictable R-Truth has confided to the WWE Universe and his imaginary entourage that hes afraid of a few things; namely ladders, heights and spiders. But after taking an incredible beating at the hands of his former friend John Morrison in a hard-hitting Falls Count Anywhere Match, hell likely add The Guru of Greatness to that list.
With his extensive parkour expertise allowing him to dominate in nearly any environment, Morrison held nothing back against Truth, and with good reason. Taken out of action by the rugged grappler twice in recent months, a revitalized Prince of Parkour took the action outside the ring and never let up. After suplexing Truth into a seated position on an announce chair, Morrison showed the conspiracy theorist whats up with a running knee smash.
Triple H addressed his officiating mistake at SummerSlam; introduced Undisputed WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio (WATCH: PART 1 | PART 2 | PHOTOS) When The Game counted Cenas shoulders to the mat at SummerSlam and named Punk the Undisputed WWE Champion, it was pretty obvious that the Cenation leaders foot was on the bottom rope. The crowd saw it, the announcers saw it, the ring crew saw it and millions of viewers watching at home saw it but The Cerebral Assassin did not. The WWE COO kicked off Raw to acknowledge his mistake as the bouts special guest referee, but since there has never been instant replay in WWE, he would not reverse his hotly contested decision.
As for his friend Kevin Nashs post-match assault on The Second City Savior that allowed Del Rio to capitalize and steal a WWE Title win, Triple H had no explanation. Nash had asked for skybox tickets and The Game provided them, but The Cerebral Assassin denied any involvement in what transpired after the SummerSlam main event. Big Daddy Cool would appear later on Raw to speak for himself.
The King of Kings then introduced another individual who takes great pleasure in speaking for himself: Undisputed WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio! Affirming that he just couldnt resist cashing in his Money in the Bank contract after Nashs ring-shaking Jackknife Powerbomb left The Straight Edge Superstar in a daze, The Mexican Aristocrat vowed to deliver a crushing defeat to San Diegos own Rey Mysterio later in the night, preventing The Master of the 619 from bringing the prestigious title home to San Diego.
Carlos sent word that new WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio spoke with Mexican news agency Notimex last week and told them that he is looking to retire from in-ring competition in five years. Del Rio added that he wants to work a limited farewell tour and finish up with a retirement match in his home of San Luis Potosi.
The translation from Spanish to English is rough but here are some quotes from the Del Rio interview:
"I already decided. I want to retire in five years and will make a farewell tour but not as many who do 250 fights. Seek a dignified farewell to a fight in San Luis Potosi, my native land and in the Arena Mexico, my home."
"I decided to go full power and thus having managed to be the best Mexican fighter in this difficult race. I'm tired because it takes great dedication and sacrifice but also left me enormous satisfaction."
"To where I have arrived I have taken fully the name of my dynasty and know that my family is proud than I have done, so when the moment arrives for hanging the boots I will continue enjoying the place that I deserved myself."
What Happened After SummerSlam Went Off The Air Posted by Dave Mitchell on 08/15/2011 at 01:13 AM
After Sunday's WWE SummerSlam pay-per-view went off the air, Ricardo Rodriguez announced Alberto Del Rio as the new WWE Champion and put the belt around his waist.
C.M. Punk was in the ring with the briefcase. He looked confused and sad. Punk got up and walked out to a mixed reaction. He picked up the case, set it down on the ring stairs, and walked up the ramp.
Punk's music played as he walked up the ramp in disappointment. Punk saluted the crowd and headed to the back.
Justin Roberts then thanked everyone for coming to end the show.
WWE diva Gail Kim, who tried quitting the company two weeks ago but was denied her release, has updated fans on her status - and took a major swipe at Vince McMahon in the process.
For everyone asking, once again Im still on a mini-vacation (meaning dont work for the I-wont-acknowledge-theres-any-competition), but have some upcoming appearances and have a few projects on the table.
So like I said before, this wont be the last you see of me. Just be patient. Youll be seeing a lot of me in this next coming year
Its great that everyone is hopeful but Im nonofficially/officially done. Im ready to make things happen for myself instead of leaving it into someone elses hands. Especially into the hands of a person who didnt believe in me.
Why should I waste more of my time when I believe in myself? Im ready to accomplish things for myself and not for a boss I have no respect for.

- Corinne Oliver, the woman who is accusing Heath Slater of attacking her during WrestleMania 27 weekend, tells WSBTV in Atlanta that the incident with Slater was the worst moment of her life. "When he grabbed me I immediately tried to grab his arms back, and I was saying 'Turn me a loose.' He wouldn't turn me loose," she said.
This is when Slater put her in a chokehold, she says. "I just started fighting with him, trying to get his arm from around my throat," Oliver said. Oliver added that as she fought to get away, Slater kept begging her to go to his hotel room.
More Details on the Alleged Assault by Slater Posted by Steve Carrier on 08/12/2011 at 10:40 AM
- The Atlanta Journal Constitution has an article up today on security guard Corinne Oliver's claims against Heath Slater from WrestleMania 27 weekend in Atlanta. Oliver says that she has had back pains ever since Slater allegedly put her in a chokehold and tried taking her into his hotel room.
WWE is keeping distance from the situation. "The alleged victim is making claims against Slater individually, and its being investigated," WWE spokesman Jerry McDevitt said. "This has nothing to do with the WWE."
According to a police report, the alleged assault happened between 4am and 5am on April 4th at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Atlanta, the day after WrestleMania. Police are still investigating the matter and no charges have been filed against Slater yet.
"She basically said he [Slater] approached her and asked her to go to his room," Oliver's laywyer said. "She said no. He started telling her she was pretty and those type things. The next thing you know she was in a chokehold, and he was dragging her and bending her backward, trying to get her on the elevator to his room. She violently had to struggle to get his arm from around her neck."
The woman, who is still employed by Allied Barton security, immediately told her supervisor. After months of inaction by her bosses, the woman filed a police report on June 22nd. Her lawyer says she contacted police after supervisors told her for months they were going to handle it.

Randy Orton def. The Great Khali (WATCH | PHOTOS) In a classic story of David and Goliath, Randy Orton locked horns with The Great Khali. And in the end, The Viper hurled his metaphoric stone at The Punjabi Nightmare in the form of a debilitating RKO covering the gigantic Superstar for the victory.
Immediately following the match, World Heavyweight Champion Christian interrupted the celebration to taunt his No. 1 contender with some information he said he just received. Whatever the mysterious information was, he proclaimed that it was going to change everything at SummerSlam, Christian claimed he cant wait for their No Holds Barred Match where anything goes. With a smile, he added that I have the best thing going.

With the newly-acquired title firmly in his grasp, Rhodes instructed DiBiase to put a bag on the head of his fallen predecessor. But, when The Personification of Domination awoke, Cody made a quick exit, leaving the oblivious DiBiase to take the brunt of his wrath.

Sheamus def. World Heavyweight Champion Christian by Count-out (WATCH | PHOTOS) Sensing that he was in real jeopardy of losing a match just two days before he will attempt to defend his title against Randy Orton at SummerSlam, the slippery Christian thrust Sheamus neck over the top rope, temporarily taking down the only Irish-born former WWE Champion. The World Heavyweight Champion quickly grabbed the World Title and high-tailed it up the ramp, forcing the referee to count him out.
Christian dropped his lawsuit against WWE and will compete at SummerSlam (WATCH | PHOTOS) Gearing up to serve as the Special Guest Referee in the blockbuster SummerSlam main event to decide the Undisputed WWE Champion (match preview), WWEs Chief Operating Officer Triple H journeyed to SmackDown. Pledging to continue to make WWE exciting and unpredictable, he announced a slew of explosive SmackDown match-ups for later in the show.
Christian then emerged to inform Triple H that putting him in a career-threatening No Holds Barred Match at SummerSlam against the mentally unstable Randy Orton was creating an unsafe work environment for him. He threatened that if WWEs COO didn't remove that stipulation from the World Title showdown, he was going sue WWE and just about everybody else associated with the event. But, when Triple H threatened to fire him for breach of contract and take back the World Title, Christian opted to drop the lawsuit. He pledged instead to defeat Randy Orton at SummerSlam (match preview) and whomever Triple H puts him in a match with tonight. That Superstar would be Sheamus.
