Smackdown Rebound

Yeah I know that's a WWE name but its all I got at the moment    

     Smackdown debuts on SyFy with a new video package(sans Matt Hardy by the way) and a new song(thanks to Green Day). We are joined in the ring for an Intercontinental title match with Dolph Zigler defending against M.V.P. M.V.P. tosses Zigler to the outside about a minute into the match which prompts Nexus without Wade Barrett make their way to the ring. The pound Zigler and surround the ring. M.V.P. looks ready as he attacks Tarver but quickly gets beat down. Gabriel delivers the 450 and the Big Show stalks his way to the ring. Show fights em off but a choke from Slater brings him down. Cue Cenas music as he sprints to the ring. Show back in with a chair and it clears the ring of Nexus. Nexus retreats to the top of the ramp as Wade Barrett appears on the titan tron. Apparently Wade is friends with the head of SyFy so hes made some matches. Big Show 5 on 1 against Nexus and Cena against Kane. Not a bad segment. Continued to make Nexus look strong and for those who only watched Smackdown and not Raw it gave em a look at Nexus. Winner: No Contest.
     Back from break as Cole has joined Striker and Grisham at the booth. The Divas champion(s) LayCool make there way to the ring with Maryese and Alicia Fox for our next match as their taking on Natalya, Kelly Kelly and The Bella's. Before the match starts Cole tells us Nexus will be lumberjacks for Cena/Kane. Kelly and Fox start it off. All 8 divas end up on the outside. LayCool celebrating and Layla gets pulled under the ring. Michelle saves her and Horswaggle comes out. He chases Layla and runs into a kick from Michelle. Natalya makes the save and then locks the sharpshooter on Maryese as she taps. Winners via submission Natalya, Kelly Kelly, and The Bella Twins. They all celebrate with Hornswaggle. Not a bad match. The divas haven't been too impressive lately but this match was short and the workers worked.
     Back from break and the ring is set up for a celebration for Oklahoma's own The All American American Jack Swagger. He makes his way to the ring with the Sooners music and a giant eagle. Cole turns insti-heel again and gives Swagger a standing O. Swagger gets some nice pops until he turns on his hometown. Swagger continues to talk to his new mascot, The Swagger Soaring Eagle and proclaim that they both have moved out of Oklahoma(huge pop) and gone to Texas(mega heat). Cole pops as hes "from Texas". Swagger officially declares himself King of Oklahoma which is confusing as he just denounced Oklahoma and moved to Texas. Edges music hits...thank god as this was really dragging on. Edge states that after what happened Monday hes now on a mission to destroy everything stupid in the WWE. Edge mocks Swaggers speech along with the Eagle. Edge drops the mic and Swagger hides behind the Eagle. The Eagle provokes Edge(pretty funny actually) and Edge takes him out. Swagger bails leaving his Eagle in the ring to take a spear. Cole screams "DEAD BIRD DEAD BIRD DEAD BIRD" which prompts Striker to say "put some BBQ sauce on it" HA! Segment was mildly amusing with The Eagle.
     Nexus is in the back and Barrett tells them that if anyone from Smackdown interferes in their match there suspended. Back from the break and we get some grooming tips from "Dashing" Cody Rhodes. Nexus make there way to the ring for their 5 on 1 against the Big Show. Show tries to fend off Nexus but theres too many of them as they all apply a submission to him(2 on the legs, 2 on the arms one on the neck) and the ref calls for the bell as Show cant respond. Gabriel delivers two 450's and Nexus pose. Mysterio promo as he returns tonight.
     Back from break and we get a Kane/Undertaker recap and CM Punk makes his way to the ring as we get another commercial. Back from this one Punks in the ring and Takers music hits to a big pop. Paul Bearer out without Undertaker. We walks to the end of the stage, hols up the urn and Taker makes his way out from the smoke. Nice old school feel. Punk quickly takes it to the Deadman but Undertaker is too much as he beats down Punk on the outside. Back in the ring Taker hits the old school but misses a boot in the corner. Punk takes control. He hits a bulldog on Taker but he sits up. Punk freaks out and ultimately gets a choke slam and a tombstone for his troubles. Winner via pin fall The Undertaker. After the match Paul Bearer holds up the urn and Taker poses with it.
     Back from break and we see Del Rio injuring Mysterio. Ricardo Rodriguez is out so he can introduce Alberto Del Rio. Alberto drives his way into the ring to some nice heat. Del Rio says he exposed Rey for being weak and powerless and tonight will apologize and gibe him a kiss on the cheek(awkward). Ricardo then brings down a Chihuahua in a mask. Alberto refers to him as Rey and says his sorry and kisses him. Del Rio laughs and says he just kidding and the real Rey will be here tonight. Mysterio makes his way down and doesn't waste anytime going after Del Rio. Ricardo helps but ends up eating the 619. Mysterio wants Del Rio back in the ring but he doesn't oblige. Good segment bringing Mysterio back into the mix.
     Back from break and we have another inter promotional match as Cody Rhodes will take on his former mentor WWE Champion Randy Orton. Orton has control for most of the match. Rhodes with some offense towards the end but he gets an RKO and that's all she wrote. Winner via pin fall Randy Orton. After the match McIntyre tries to hit the Future Shock on Orton but he eats an RKO. Shameus down and he nails Orton with a couple kicks as we go to break.
     Back from commerical and Kane interrupts Todd Grisham as hes ready for his lumberjack match against Cena. Kane in control for the start of the match. He eventually throws Cena to the outside which leads to Nexus taking the boots to him. They throw him back in and Kane still with control as we go to commercial. Back again and Kane has Cena in a choke hold and he makes his way to his feet. Both men avoid each others finisher and Cena sends Kane to the floor and then knocks Gabriel off the apron into Kane. Kane beats on Gabriel as Cena goes after the rest of Nexus. He eventually goes up the ramp after them as Kane makes his way back into the ring. Winner via count out Kane? Or is it a no contest? The lights go out and Taker is behind Kane. They brawl all over the arena and make their way back to the ring. Kane with a boot to Taker but he sits up. Nice sell by Kane as he looks like he cant believe what just happened. Kane tries to choke slam Taker but Paul Bearer makes his way down with the Urn and Taker grabs Kane by the throat and sends him down with a choke slam. Kane is able to roll out of the ring and escape as we go off the air.
     Overall a solid debut for Smackdown on SyFy. I would have liked to have seen a few more Smackdown stars involved but with such a short time between PPV's I get that they need to further angles for Sunday.
