WWE Smackdown Results: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

By Justin Watry (Senior Writer) on April 20, 2012

SmackDown was a decent show tonight. The Blue Brand did not do much of note, but it was an enjoyable two hours. If I had to give them a grade, it would fall in the C range.

The Good

The Big Show vs. Alberto Del Rio was a decent match. I didn’t pay very close attention, but two big stars facing off is usually entertaining.

Del Rio picked up the well-deserved win after Cody Rhodes interfered. His feud with Show will continue, while Alberto gets closer and closer to his World Title match.

The Bad

Alberto Del Rio is now a member of the SmackDown roster. It was quietly announced, and the move was not treated like a major deal at all.

Can we just ignore the Draft now? I know the brand extension has been laughable for awhile now, but this is just getting ridiculous. Please just stop the “supershow” concept and try something else that may actually work.

411’s WWE SmackDown Report 4.20.12 [2]

Posted by Colin Rinehart on 04.20.2012

Randy Orton, Sheamus, and the Big Show defeated Daniel Bryan, Cody Rhodes, and Mark Henry in our main event while we saw the SmackDown debuts of Antonio Cesaro as well as Titus O’Neill and Darren Young. All of that and much more in our 411 report, click here for all the details!

Welcome back everyone to another edition of 411mania’s Friday Night SmackDown coverage by yours truly. Tonight we’ve got a bit of a special show (and not just because it’s 4/20 you stoners) as we’re emanating from the O2 Arena in London, England which usually means the WWE tries to step up their game a little bit for their British fans. We’ll see if that trend continues tonight, let’s hop right into things.

Alberto Del Rio (11-8) vs. Big Show (21-6)

This is a non-title match apparently, though I have no clue why other than to protect Show. Del Rio tries to take his kicks to Show at the bell, but the giant just mauls him like a child and slaps him with a big open palm chop. Elbow drop from Show gets him a two count and then Del Rio cuts him off with a big chop block, taking Show down to the mat and laying in some kicks and punches. Del Rio tries working a headlock for a bit and then takes the giant down with an armbreaker. Show counters the cross-armbreaker attempt though and slams Del Rio down to the mat in a feat of strength reminiscent of some of the antics of one Bob Backlund in his old MSG title defenses. Show hits him with a forearm and then takes Del Rio down with the spear. He goes for the chokeslam, but Ricardo Rodriguez distracts the ref long enough for Cody Rhodes to run down to the ring and give Show the Beautiful Disaster kick, which is enough to get Del Rio the cheap win at 5:17. Decently worked match considering the size differential between both men, Del Rio picks up a cheap win, Cody gets some revenge on Show, and everyone hates the heels. Perfectly booked match and segment. **
