Yesterday, instead of taping this week's edition of Smackdown, the WWE taped next week's episode of RAW, thus pushing the Smackdown taping to Wednesday night. So that means we bring you this week's Smackdown spoilers just one day before the show is scheduled to air. All spoilers provided by Wrestling Inc.
First out is Randy Orton and his Money in the Bank briefcase. He is immediately interrupted by his Money in the Bank counterpart Damien Sandow, who will face Orton in the very first match of the night.
Match #1: Randy Orton defeated Damien Sandow
In the battle of Money in the Bank winners, Orton is able to win the match following some interference by Cody Rhodes. Rhodes manages to catch Sandow's attention by stealing his Money in the Bank briefcase, and when Sandow focuses again on the Apex Predator Orton has an RKO waiting for him.
CM Punk is out next, and begins to cut a promo about the "Best vs the Beast" match between him and Brock Lesnar at Summerslam. However, the dancing machine Fandango and his valet Summer Rae interrupt his speech. For doing so, Punk gives Fandango a GTS.
Match #2: Mark Henry and the Usos defeated Wade Barrett, Darren Young, and Titus O'Neil
Mark Henry and company are able to beat the other three men in this six man tag team match. The World Strongest Man is able to add some much needed muscle to the Usos, who may have found the perfect partner to help them take on the Shield for their Tag Team Championships.
Backstage World Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio is with new Smackdown GM Vickie Gurrerro, demanding that he get to choose his Summerslam opponent like John Cena. Rob Van Dam interupts, demanding he get a title shot. Del Rio tells Van Dam that he has to earn his shot by beating him in the ring tonight.
Elsewhere Damien Sandow is searching for his Money in the Bank briefcase. Sin Cara tries to help him out, but does not speak English, leaving Sandow frustrated.
Match #3: Alberto Del Rio defeated Rob Van Dam
Del Rio is able to capitalize on the high flyer's distracted state, getting the pin after Van Dam argues with the ref. Looks like Van Dam will not be getting that title shot after all.
Sandow is still stomping around backstage looking for his briefcase, and runs into Mark Henry and Booker T backstage while doing so.
AJ Lee is out in the ring with her massive bodyguard Big E Langston, and she calls out her former beau Dolph Ziggler. She proceeds to mock the former World Heavyweight Champ, destroying some of his belongings in the process. This brings out AJ's rival Kaitlyn, who practically spears AJ out of her shoes. During the fracas Ziggler gets the best of Big E, leaving him and Kaitlyn standing tall against their foes.
Match #4: Erick Rowan and Luke Harper defeated Tensai and Brodus Clay
The Wyatt Family members are able to beat the dancing duo in this clash of monstrous men. The Wyatt family then cut a promo on Kane, further hinting at a clash between the Wyatt Family and the masked man at Summerslam.
Match #5: Christian defeated Jack Swagger
Christian is able to take down the supreme grappler by hitting his trademark Killswitch to get the pin.
Sandow confronts Guerrero about his missing briefcase, vowing to find it tonight. He appears in the ring, offering a reward to whoever helps him get the briefcase. Cody Rhodes appears on the Titantron, briefcase in hand to mock his former tag team partner. Sandow storms backstage to get his hands on his property.
Match #6: CM Punk defeated Fandango
In an outcome that most everyone saw coming, CM Punk wins in the main event of Smackdown, taking out Fandango much like he did earlier in the night.
