Spoilers WWE SmackDown Tapings – July 23rd

Posted by Marc Middleton on Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

- Thanks to Prowrestling.net for these spoilers from tonight’s SmackDown tapings:

Smackdown begins as Kane starts out the show celebrating the title win. He recapped his MITB win and cashing in on Rey Mysterio. Kane said he did it for his brother the Undertaker and brought the title back to the dark side. He vowed to not rest until he finds his brother’s culprit.

Jack Swagger vs. Rey Mysterio in a 2 out of 3 falls match to determine the No. 1 contender was announced.

1. Drew McIntyre and Cody Rhodes defeated Christian and Matt Hardy. Christian and Hardy had the advantage most of the match. Christian dove to the outside on Rhodes and McIntyre. Rhodes took advantage for his team. He tagged in McIntyre, who had a field day with Christian.

Rhodes was tagged back on. Christian tagged in Hardy, who took out McIntyre. Hardy gave McIntyre a tornado DDT from the turnbuckle into a pin only for Rhodes to distract the referee from counting the pinfall. Rhodes and McIntyre ended up winning the match. After the match, Christian and Hardy shook hands. Katelyn said it was a “very, very good match.”

Swagger was interviewed by Josh Matthews. He talked about how he will beat Mysterio and then go on to beat Kane at Summerslam.

A LayCool promo started as they boasted about their win against Kelly Kelly on Sunday. They gave each other best friend necklaces. Teddy Long walked up and told Layla that she will be defending her title against Tiffany next week.

2. Dolph Ziggler (w/Vickie Guerrero) defeated Kofi Kingston (w/Michael McGillicutty) in a non-title match. This was a pretty even match up. Both superstars scored some offensive moves throughout the bout. Michael McGillicutty got sent to the back due to Vickie Guerrero influencing the referee as Kofi was outside selling being thrown over the ropes.

Kofi reentered the ring as Ziggler continued to take advantage. As Ziggler went for a leg drop, Kofi rolled him into a pin for a 2 count. Kofi regains control only to be distracted by Vickie Guerrero. Ziggler puts Kofi in the sleeper for the win. After the match, Ziggler poses over Kofi with the Intercontinental Title. Dolph tries to leave with IC belt, but the ref wouldn’t let him. Vickie comforted Dolph.

3. Big Show defeated the SES Masked Man. Show unmasked him to prove once and for a that Joey Mercury is straight edge. Show put the mask on and then chokeslammed Mercury for the pin in a short match.

Mysterio cut a promo hyping the number one contenders match.

An Alberto Del Rio vignette aired.

4. Rey Mysterio defeated Jack Swagger in a best of three falls match to become the No. 1 contender to the World Hvt. Championship. The match started as Swagger pushed Mysterio into the turnbuckle to take opening advantage of the match. There was a lot of back and forth action early. Swagger continued to work on Rey giving him a belly to back.

Swagger remained in control of the match. He took out Rey’s knee on the turnbuckle. Swagger scored a lot of close two counts. He threw Rey into the ropes only for Rey to jump off the ropes onto swagger a two count. Rey went to setup the 619 on Swagger only to come short. Swagger put Rey into the ankle lock. Rey made it to the ropes. Swagger refused to let go and was disqualified,so Rey won the first fall.

Jack won second fall by making Rey tape out with the ankle lock. Short match. Rey went for the 619 and Jack caught him.

Swagger and Rey fought outside. Swagger threw Rey back inside the ring and continued on the offensive. Rey reverses the gut wrench powerbomb into a pinfall to get the pin and become number one contender for Kane’s title.

Jack went after Rey after the bell. Kane ran down and took out Jack. Kane held up Rey’s hand. Kane left the ring and then returned and went to chokeslam Rey, who turned it into the 619. Rey ran away.

Was there any point in Joey Mercury wearing a mask for so many weeks?

Kanes going to beat Mysterio at summesrslam, after the match Undertaker returns and takes out Kane, and then on Smackdown, Kane will reveal it was he who attacked the Undertaker!!!!!!!!! Then that will build up to a match at Night Of Champions for the World title!

It would nice that Taker vs Kane is not in their plans… Make it so Kane really did not attack the Undertaker, and once Kane finds who did attack him, he reveals that Taker was really not in a vegetative state, he just waited for Kane to find the guy so they both destroy him. (or them, for that matter)
That would be interesting, for a change. I’m kinda fed up with Kane/Taker feuds.

ya im kinda sick of kane taker fueds as well i mean what else can they really do for it. It would be coool if taker comes back and says it was lets say swagger or even for a nice joke mysterio then the 2 of them go crazy kane keeps the world title. then the reunite the tag team and go after the unfied tag titles since a smackdown team hasnt won in god knows how long. Since you cant really call the hart dynasty winning a smackdown team since right after they won they moved to raw.

ugh, Rey vs. Kane…..not like we haven’t seen that in recent history. I guess it’s gonna be Ziggler vs Kofi at summerslam. They should have Christian and Hardy go after the unified titles. That would be nice and new. And they finally revealed that Mercury was under that mask. It was really getting old. Oh and uhh…why is tiffany going after the title? She better not win

I think their going to give tiffany the title and have her fued with michelle mccool over it since they been at eachothers face at ringside for quite some time and have michelle mccool take it away from her just in time for beth to come back and take it back from mccool but their going to need to give tiffany more moves tiffany can pull it off better than kelly can and if she doesnt win then idk what there going to end up doing with this blonde vs flaweless fued

First of all… Feud is spelled F E U D
Secondly, WWE has lost all sense of originality. Is the only reason Taker goes away is some strange reasoning? Vegetative state? Really??? Push Drew McIntyre… or someone who needs a push.. Ted Dibiasi is a perfect choice actually… If anyone remembers… Million Dollar Man is the one who brought Taker to WWE in the first place!!!

well Taker is more of a Tweener anyways he neither face nor heel he’s just neutral and i think it’s better that way.

I say it was Kane all along that took out the undertaker. His reasoning will be that the Undertaker was always holding him back.
