Coming off a huge and momentus Summerslam this year we roll in WWE Friday Night SmackDown with Randy Orton as the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion.

What will be the fall out from Randy winning this title? When will Christain get his rematch and what kind of stipulation will there be in this match?

Find out the answers to these questions and more tonight on WWE SmackDown Review 8 19 2011 August 19 2011.

Randy Orton Promo

We start off the show tonight with Randy Orton coming to the ring and starting the night off telling us how tonight will be different since we are starting with him instead of Christain. Orton reflects on how his battle with Christain has played out in the past how he has gone from respecting Christain to despising him, and that that is all now behind him.

Randy says he can’t wait for his next challenge to which the GM of SmackDown Theodore Long responds that they will name the new #1 contender in the main event tonight, a 20 man over the top battle royal.

Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase come out to the ring to interrupt Orton, reminding Orton that he is not content to simply be the WWE Intercontinental Champion and that is why he is participating in the battle royal later that night.

DiBiase would remind Orton that no one knew Orton better than Cody and himself they knew his strengths and his weakness’s and they remembered all the times Orton used them before Randy had enough and hit DiBiase with the RKO sending a message all his own to both Rhodes and DiBiase.

Rhodes then demands that Teddy do something about Randy to which Long responds he will demand Randy do school-boy punishments mocking Rhodes.

Long then informing Rhodes that he’s decided that Rhodes will take DiBiase’s place in the match since Ted can’t compete and that this match will be for the Intercontinental Championship against former Intercontinental Champion  Ezekiel Jackson, and that match would be next.

Segment Rating: 2.8 out of 5.

Final Thoughts: For the most part I like the way everything was handled tonight matches were made and rematches granted all except for Christain’s, heel or not Christain is still entitled to a rematch. I also love the fact that Jackson gets his rematch tonight as he never should have lost the match to begin with.

Intercontinental Championship Match

Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes vs Ezekiel Jackson

This is a rematch from last week were Ezekiel Jackson lost the Intercontinental Championship due mostly to distraction from Ted DiBiase last week. This match would start off exactly as many people would expect it to start with Jackson dominating Rhodes easily. The action would shift back and forth many times throughout the match thanks to his quickness, and ring awarness.

The action would end up spilling outside the ring with Rhodes rolling out of the ring for a breather, Ezekiel would go after him which would result in Cody kicking the ring steps in to Jackson leg, the two men would get back in the ring were Jackson would attempt the Torture Rack but his leg would betray him allowing Rhodes to counter into the Cross Rhodes for the win.

Match Rating: 3 out of 5.

Final Thoughts: While it wasn’t the cleanest of wins you could hope to get it was a lot better than the way Cody won the title tonight he did it tonight by himself(except for the ring steps).

Justin Gabriel vs Tyson Kidd

This is the first match back on SmackDown for Justin Gabriel after touring south Africa with WWE. These two have very similar styles of wrestling both of them are high flyers both are ready to put there bodies on the line with no regard for personal safety.

Throughout much of the beggining of the match Tyson Kidd would remain in control over Gabriel. However it wouldn’t be long before Gabriel managed to out quick Kidd and remain in control for the remainder of the match before going to the top rope and hitting his famous 450 splash to pick up the win.

Match rating: 3.2 out of 5.

Final Thoughts: They have been giving Kidd the perfect partners in his matches in the last couple of weeks and while I certainly have no love for Kidd he needs to start winning and soon if he doesn’t want to become another jobber like Chavo was before he quit.

WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio Promo

Del Rio comes out and tells us how it was destiny for him to win the WWE Championship and reminded us all of of how we doubted his destiny until it happened.

He then told the crowd in attendance that Bakersfield held a special place for him as it was in that very arena that he made his debut on Friday Night SmackDown exactly one year ago, he talked about how things had changed since his debut his winning the WWE Championship for example.

He also reflected about how things had remained the same as he beat Rey Mysterio on his debut and how he had beat Rey Mysterio one year later the night after Summerslam.

Del Rio then offered an open challenge to anyone to which Daniel Bryan would come out and tell Del Rio that he was pathetic because he cashed in his MITB contract like every other winner before him by beating someone who was already down and out.

WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio vs Daniel Bryan

This would be a rematch from last week. As expected this would be a close match between two of the very best submission specialists in the WWE today. As expected there were plenty of submission holds in this match with both opponets trying to wear down the other in order to lock them into there respective finishing submission hold.

There was a lot of back and forth throughout this match with no-one having a clear advantage at any point during the match. Both superstars would look to be on the verge on winning only for success to be taken from them at the last second.

Just when it looked as though Bryan had the win with a hug type submission manuever Del Rio would slam Bryan into the ring post before locking Bryan into the cross arm breaker for the win. Del Rio would attempt to assault Bryan after the match before Sin Cara came to the ring and beat Del Rio off of Bryan.

Match Rating: 4 out of 5.

Final Thoughts: You don’t usually think of submission bouts as very excitig as they are usually fought primarily on the ground, however tonights match was one hell of a match between two very awesome stars in WWE.

WWE Diva’s Champion Kelly Kelly &AJ vs Natalya & Alicia Foxx

This would be a divas match between two of the mean girls in WWE vs two of the nice and hot girls in WWE. AJ would start tthe match for her team and for most of her time in the ring would be dominated by both Alicia and Natlya before managing to make it to her corner to make the tag to Kelly, once Kelly got in the ring with Alicia it was only a matter of time before she hit the K9 on Alicia and picked up the win for her team.

Match Rating: 2.5 out of 5.

Finaly Thoughts: Kelly’s team was at the disadvantage from the beggining with the new girl AJ on her team however kelly made up for what AJ lacked.

#1 Contender’s Match

20 Man Battle Royal

As is to be expected out of a match this large the eliminations came fast and furious as every man in there was out for themselves.

Early on it looked as though Jinder Mahal would wind up to be the winner having Khali as his personal protection before Mark Henry eliminated him. It would wind up coming down to just four men Sheamus, Mark Henry Wade Barrett, and Sin Cara.

Wade Barett and Sheamus appeared to team up before Barrett turned on sheamus and clotheslined him. Sheamus and Barrett would battle on the apron before Sheamus knocked Barrett to the floor.

Sheamus attempted many times to eliminate SIn Cara but couldn’t and was ultimately eliminated by Henry himself, leaving just Mark Henry and Sin Cara, Sin Cara put up one hell of a fight but was ultimately out matched by Mark Henry, resulting in Henry becoming the new #1 contender.

Match Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Final Thoughts: I really enjoyed this match for the most part even if I’m not too thrilled with the winner an awesome match to crown a new #1 contender but lets not forget if WWE plays by its own rules Christain still has a rematch.

Final Thoughts on SmackDown Tonights

I really enjoyed SmackDown tonight it setup a lot of great feud for the next few weeks before Night of Champions. I can only hope the next few SmackDown’s are as good as this one.

SmackDown Rating: 3 out of 5.
