WWE Smackdown review 8/3/12

Tonight was the night that Mr. McMahon was going to announce the new GM of Smackdown.

Mr. McMahon comes down to the ring to announce that Booker T is the new GM. Alberto Del Rio and Sheamus interrupted the festivities. Since both interrupted, Booker T with his first job as GM, made both compete in matches later in the night. Del Rio was to face the Viper, Randy Orton in the main event. Sheamus was going to face Tensai in a non-title match.

Tensai came down to the ring to face Sheamus. What I like about Sheamus, is the fact, he loves to fight and he does not back down from any fight. This was a great match with lots of physical exchanges. This match ended when Sheamus blasted Tensai with the Brogue Kick and got the pin. I definitely enjoyed this match.

We then saw Eve in the back, who I might add, was looking fantastic. Booker T then offers Teddy Long a position in his administration.

The next match was Antonio Cesaro taking on US Champion Santino Marella in a non-title match. Once again, who cares. I am truly getting annoyed by Santino never defending the damn title. Cesaro won and that's all I have to say.

We had a six-man tag match with Daniel Bryan, IC Champ The Miz and Dolph Ziggler taking on Kane, Chris Jericho and Christian. This match was your standard, run of the mill six-man tag match. Lots of good action. The finish came when Jericho put the Walls of Jericho on Bryan. Ziggler came in and Jericho hit the Codebreaker on him. Bryan rolled up Jericho for the 1-2-3. Bryan then goes postal on some guy in the front row chanting "YES!" Bryan gets in his face and yells "NO!"

We then go to an interview in the back with Randy Orton.

Next up is Jinder Mahal vs Ryback in a rematch from last week. One thing is certain, Ryback would murder me. The match starts and Ryback begins to pound Mahal. Mahal was able to get a shot or two in on Ryback then hits Ryback with a mic. The ref called for the bell and the DQ on Mahal.

Next match saw Darren Young defeat one half of the WWE Tag Team Champions, R-Truth. This match did have A.W. mic'd after his nice rape joke on Raw earlier in the week.

We then saw a recap of this weeks Raw. Anytime I can see AJ, I am cool with that.

Booker T announces a match for next week as we will see Cody Rhodes vs Sin Cara.

In the main event, Randy Orton defeated Alberto Del Rio when Ricardo Rodriguez interfered in the match and caused the DQ. Overall this was a solid match with both Del Rio and Orton looking great. After this match, Sheamus came to the ring to toss Del Rio back in and Orton landed the RKO. Show went off the air with Orton posing at the top of the turnbuckle.

This was a very solid episode of Smackdown. Two solid shows put on this week by the WWE. Well done.
