*SPOILERS* WWE – SmackDown Taping Results – 7/17

The following report comes to us from Nick White of PWInsider

SUPERSTARS:

– Brodus Clay won a squash over indy guy.

– Cody Rhodes beat Tyson Kidd in a good match.

– The Usos beat Johnny Curtis and Derrick Bateman.

– Sin Cara beat Drew McIntyre.

– Main event: Santino Marella and Layla beat Aksana and Antonio Cesaro.

SMACKDOWN:

– The show opened with Rey Mysterio. They showed his return from Raw. Rey told his hometown crowd that he was back. Alberto Del Rio came out with Ricardo Rodriguez. Alberto said he was robbed against Sheamus. Dolph Ziggler came out saying he is the future champion. He would have won at Money In The Bank but apparently he thinks Alberto did something to stop that from happening. Rey asked them why don’t they just fight. Sheamus came out and joined Rey. We have a tag match for later.

– Titus O’Neill, Darren Young, Hunico and Camacho beat Kofi Kingston, R-Truth, Epico and Primo. After the match, Big Show came out and destroyed them all. WWE really knows how to build the tag division back up.

– Damien Sandow beat Zack Ryder.

– Next was The Peep Show with AJ and Daniel Bryan. Christian show a clip of the two planning the wedding. AJ said she forgave Bryan for how he treated her in the past. Christian asked if it was true love. They both did the YES thing and the crowd joined in. Christian asked if they should get married and the crowd was split. He asked the crowd if they knew what they were doing and it was split again. He then asked if AJ knew what she was doing and she slapped him in the face. As AJ and Bryan went to leave Christian said not so fast. Your fiance will face an ex of yours, Kane.

– Kane beat Daniel Bryan when he got DQ’d after AJ interfered. AJ teasted that she was going to kiss Kane, but didn’t. She then kiss Bryan outside.

– Road Warrior Animal was tonight’s legend. He killed Heath Slater. That followed with Slater saying he is sick of fighting legends. This brought out HHH who hit the Pedigree. I think that was a dark angle.

– Sheamus and Mysterio beat Del Rio and Ziggler by DQ when Ricardo interfered at the end.

DARK MATCH:

– John Cena beat The Big Show and Cody Rhodes. John Laurinaitis was there and got laid out as well.
