Smackdown Report TV 9/30/11

Reported by Ernest I Aguilar

The Smack is being laid Down for us tonight in Randy Orton's home town, St. Louis Missouri. The show begins with Booker T in the middle of the ring introducing World Champion Mark Henry. Booker is here to interview Henry, and he congratulates Henry on his first World Title. Henry thinks Booker, a 6 time champ, is insulting Henry by emphasizing that this is his FIRST title.

Booker T insists he meant no insult and that if he had, Henry would know it. Henry says if he put Booker through the announce table, he would know it. Henry then says that thankfully for Booker, he's here for Orton, not Booker T. Henry tells us that he will induct Randy Orton into his "Hall of Pain" just like he did to the Undertaker, Kane, and Jerry Lawler.

Booker T asks why Henry can't just be the best champion he can be, and not keep on trying to end people's careers. Henry orders Booker to lower his town, and then explains that he tried being positive for 15 years and it got him nowhere. Booker asks if Henry is worried about getting hit with an RKO and Henry says if Randy could have hit him with it, he would have by now. He can't RKO Henry, and he can't beat him either.

Henry tells us he's also going to beat the Great Khali tonight and calls him out.

Match #1: Mark Henry versus the Great Khali.

The two men exchange several punches and kicks. Khali gets the early advantage and lands a headbutt, a punch, and a clothesline. Khali kicks Henry in the legs and then gives him a big chop in the corner and the Great Khali chop in the middle of the ring. Khali goes for the cover but gets only two.

Henry picks Khali up and drives him into the corner and then beats him down. Henry hits Khali with 2 big splashes and goes for a cover but gets only two. Henry appears angry that Khali kicked out. Khali tries to fight back but Henry hits him with the World's Strongest slam for the win.

After the match, Henry gets a chair and traps Khali's leg in it. Henry then comes crashing off the second rope onto the leg and the chair and breaks Khali's leg.

When we return, Khali is being wheeled away by the medics when Jinder Mahal shows up to yell at Khali and tell him he deserved this.

Match #2: Evan Bourne with Kofi Kingston versus Jack Swagger with Vickie Guerrero and Dolph Ziggler.

Evan gets behind Swagger quickly, but Swagger responds by landing several strikes and choking Evan on the ropes. Swagger suplexes Bourne and then wraps up his arms behind his back on the mat.

Match #3: Sin Cara versus Heath Slater.

Slater starts off with a few strikes, but Sin Cara quickly takes over. Sin Cara hits a handspring back elbow, a couple kicks to the head, and then a moonsault from the top rope for the win.

After the match the other Sin Cara appears on the big screen. The impostor claims that Sin Cara stole his old identity (Mistico, Sin Cara's in ring name in Mexico) so now he will still Sin Cara's new identity at Hell in a Cell. The other Sin Cara takes off his blue mask to reveal a black mask underneath. Now we can tell them apart!

When we return, the always exciting John Laurinaitis is in the locker room talking to all the stars that want to sue current COO HHH: Christian, Cody Rhodes, Vickie and Dolph, and their legal counsel, David Otunga. John seems sympathetic, but also insists he's a company man. Otunga (a Harvard Law graduate) is going to handle their case.

Even Christian, a man that has repeatedly referred to his own legal team, is willing to let Otunga represent them. They all agree that are all in for Raw this Monday and quietly nod their heads in agreement. David Otunga then asks them all to calm down, which is odd because if they were any calmer they'd all be unconscious.

Match #4: Kelly Kelly versus Natalya.

Kelly starts things off with a couple forearms and Natalya responds by picking her up and slamming her into the corner. Natalya charges at Kelly in the corner but Kelly gets her legs up and hits her with both boots. Kelly comes off the top rope at Natalya and then puts her in a waist lock. Natalya pushes Kelly off, clotheslines her, and then wraps up her arm and neck on the mat.

Match #5: Cody Rhodes versus Sheamus.

Cody and his baggers come out first, and Cody has a mic. Cody tells us that he's fed up with WWE management. Randy Orton recently assaulted him with a steel ring bell, giving him 9 stapes in his head, and the WWE did nothing about it. Instead, they made him defend his title against 10 men in a battle royal, and now are making him defend against that drunken Irish braggart and bar room brawler, Sheamus.

Cody is mad and is taking this match under protest. Sheamus comes out and asks Cody if he's heard the story about the drunken Irish braggart and bar room brawler that beats Cody Rhodes for the Intercontinental championship. Cody doesn't respond and Sheamus says it's not Irish folklore, it's what he's going to do right now. The match starts with Sheamus pushing Cody down into the corner. Cody gets up and they exchange a series of strikes that ends with Sheamus clotheslining Rhodes to the mat.

Sheamus goes for a cover, but Cody kicks out and retreats to the outside of the ring. Cody re-enters the ring and hits Sheamus with a shoulder block; Sheamus responds with a backdrop and another near-fall. Sheamus ties Rhodes up in the ropes and pounds on his chest repeatedly. Cody escapes, hits Sheamus with his facemask, and then snaps Sheamus' arm down over the top rope. Cody gets back in the ring and hits Sheamus with Beautiful Disaster and gets a two count.

Zach does a fist pump for the crowd and then hits JTG with the "Broski Boot" (a running kick to the face of an opponent seated in the corner). Zach goes for a cover but gets only two, asking the ref "are you serious bro?" Zach whips JTG to the ropes and JTG lands a punch, but Zach hits the "Rough Ryder" (a jumping leg lariat) for the win.

In the back, we see Mr. Personality John Laurinaitis texting someone (probably someone evil) something (probably something evil) when he is interrupted by HHH. HHH is angry about the secret meeting with the Superstars that are planning a lawsuit. John responds that as VP of talent relations, he's like a buffer between the talent and the COO, but insists he is 100% loyal.

HHH says he's glad to hear that, because if he can't trust his employees, all he can do is "wish them well in their future endeavors." As HHH leaves, John does some more evil texting.

When we return, Matt Striker is interviewing Randy Orton. Randy tells us that Mark Henry wants to end his career, and Orton asks if Henry knows who the hell he is. Orton claims to have committed more atrocities in the WWE than anyone (and sounds proud) and is intimidated by no one.

He says he gave Cody Rhodes 9 staples in his head just last week and feels no regret. Orton also says Henry better pray Orton hits him with an RKO and ends it early, because Orton knows so many ways to hurt people inside Hell in a Cell.
