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.
Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes def. Ezekiel Jackson (WATCH | PHOTOS) In an impromptu Intercontinental Title rematch, Cody Rhodes executed a beautiful springboard kick-Cross Rhodes combination to triumph over former champion Ezekiel Jackson. But, who the bitter champions next challenger will be remains to be seen.
SmackDown GM Theodore Long declared a 20-Man No. 1 Contenders Battle Royal (WATCH | PHOTOS) Randy Orton returned to SmackDown the new World Heavyweight Champion, just five days after a brutal No Holds Barred Match against Christian at SummerSlam. 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.

-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.

That match is coming up next.

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.

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
