My WWE SmackDown, May 4th 2012 Recap


Sheamus came out and stated how he loved "to fight," wherever and whenever. A frustrated Daniel Bryan then shortly joined the World Champion before their match. 
Sheamus won via disqualification versus Daniel Bryan after Alberto Del Rio and his ring announcer Ricardo Rodriguez ran in to attack 'The Great White'. The actual match was very brief but had Bryan logically targeting the same arm he had hurt at Extreme Rules. Del Rio also attacked the arm by applying his signature armbar, Bryan also entered the ring and applied the Yes Lock. Both he and Del Rio then argued after he'd cost 'The American Dragon' the match.  
R-Truth and Kofi Kingston defeated Hunico and Camacho in a fair tag team contest. Truth and Kingston will grow on me I reckon, plus any pairing that helps get attention back to the tag team division is fine with me. Former champions Primo and Epico watched from the stage along with the charismatic Abraham Washington and Rosa Mendes.   
Brodus Clay won via count out versus Jack Swagger, who'd had enough of the tough to beat 'Funkasaurus' and decided to leave. It was a nothing match really, short and forgettable. 
Before his match Damien Sandow claimed that he did not want to face his opponent Derrick Bateman, as he was "simple minded" and it wouldn't teach the fans anything. As he was leaving Batman then reminded us that he'd won a spot on SmackDown by winning NXT (I'd almost forgotten to be honest) and demanded an opponent for the night, and sure enough he got his wish in the form of Ryback.  
Ryback defeated Derrick Bateman in a predictable squash match. Not really much else to add, you've probably seen his routine by now.
Big Show and Randy Orton defeated Cody Rhodes and Kane in a tag team match that was a bit of a mixed bag, decent when Orton was in the ring but quite flat when Show was. I'm hoping that both sets of these feuds are over now, they've gone on as long as they should and haven't really done much for any of them.
Layla defeated Natalya in an enjoyable divas match up, a rarity nowadays. Both women put on a good display.
Backstage AJ once again slapped good friend Kaitlyn after being told to get over her ex Daniel Bryan. I'm not quite sure where they're headed with this crazy turn AJ is taking.
Sheamus defeated Daniel Bryan in an entertaining main event. For the majority of the match Bryan was logically attacking Sheamus' injured shoulder that he obviously hadn't fully recovered from. Before the bout the World Heavyweight Champion like a true heroic face refused to turn down the fight. 'The Great White' again like any hero managed a comeback and managed to Brogue Kick (albeit a slightly botched one) Bryan for the one-two-three. During the contest Del Rio (who'd been on commentary, doing a mediocre job on it too) tried to interfere but was quickly scared off by Sheamus.
