WWE Smackdown Results 12/7/12

Previously on WWE Television... The Shield made their presence known on MizTV. They took out their aggression on Daniel Bryan and Kane before Ryback decided to get involved and tried to feed on the new guys. Ryback attacked CM Punk with a ladder, a chair, and a table. What is next for Ryback and CM Punk?

As a result of what happened on Monday night, CM Punk suffered a knee injury and the match has been removed from the TLC pay per view. Ryback will join forces with Daniel Bryan and Kane to face Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns, and Seth Rollins in a Table, Ladders, and Chairs match.

This week, Smackdown is in North Charleston, South Carolina and your announcers are John Layfield and Josh Mathews.

Booker T is in the ring and it is contract signing time. He says that we have watched his career and if he has some business to take care of, he will take care of that business in the middle of the ring. He might take it to the back, to the street, or to a supermarket. He says that he knows what it is like to be in a highly contested feud as a wrestler. It is his job to give us an entertaining show every week.

Booker says that it is now personal for Sheamus and Big Show and it gets physical. Tonight, he has a drastic decision to make. Booker wants us to see why he has to make this decision and we go to the footage from last month when Sheamus attacked Big Show in the garage. Then we had the chair shots from Survivor Series with the Baskin Robbins beatdown.

In nine days, Big Show and Sheamus will go one on one in a Chairs Match for the World Title at TLC. He is afraid that the match will not happen because one of these men is going to do something. Booker says that Sheamus and Big Show will sign a No Contact Clause between now and the pay per view.

It would not be enough to have this done in the back, so he is going to bring both men to the ring to make it official.

Big Show comes out first and then he is followed to the ring by Sheamus.

Booker tells Sheamus that if he wants to disobey his No Contact Clause, he can go ahead but he will lose his title shot at TLC. Booker tells Big Show that he shouldn’t be smiling because even with his ‘Iron Clad’ Contract, if he wants to disobey the No Contact Clause, he will be stripped of the World Title.

They sit at the official contract signing table and Sheamus is going to sign first, but he tells Show that since it is the holiday season. Having to wait nine more days to kick Show’s arse is like having to wait nine days until Christmas. He realized that it was worth it to wait because he will be able to beat up Show with a steel chair. Sheamus says that he will get the ultimate present, the World Championship. Sheamus signs.

Booker gives Show the contract and Show tells Sheamus that Christmas has come early for Sheamus. This contract is to make sure that Sheamus makes it to TLC in one piece. He tells Sheamus to be careful what he waits for . . . fella. Show reminds Sheamus that he got up after all of those chair shots at Survivor Series. What will happen when the giant swings the chair and hits Sheamus . . . fella? He only has to hit Sheamus once. Show tells Sheamus he should ask Booker to get out of this match.

Show tells Sheamus that he is too stupid to want to get out of this match. Sheamus will not be the same after this match. He tells Sheamus he could end his career.

Show says that he thinks things through while Sheamus is vinegar and fire and he wants to fight all the time.

Sheamus tells Show that he came into the WWE to fight. He says that the last two matches they had were the fights of Show’s career. He tells Show that he is shaking because he knows that he won’t be able to get another match out of him. He will end Show’s career at TLC.

Show pushes the table onto Sheamus and then he signs the contract and holds it up so Sheamus does not violate the contract. Sheamus dances a little and Booker warns Sheamus.

Booker tells Sheamus that if he wants to take out his frustrations on someone, he has someone to do it against. Sheamus will face Alberto Del Rio.

Booker tells Show that he should stop laughing because he will be facing the man who beat him in the ring in forty-five seconds . . . Daniel Bryan.

Reporter's Notes

---------------------------------------------------------------

Best match
The opener, hands down. Probably makes you wonder why it was the opener and not the main event but I suppose it was for storyline purposes.

Worst match
Khali v David Otunga
That’s twice that Otunga has had to job to the man with no move set. I think that the post match dance took more time than the match itself. On the bright side, it’s easy to count Khali’s moves and perhaps a nice way for babies to start learning to count. They won’t need to get past 2. In this match he hit a clothesline and a chop. That was it. Then again if you want your child to learn you might want to get it counting someone else’s moves.

This week the show was okay [being generous though]. Once again no Teddy Long and no divas but also no Randy Orton and no Miz. I for one was relieved not to have to sit through a ‘Miz Show’ kicking off Smackdown. The storylines are not gripping me much right now, but at least the wrestling is at a fairly high standard [most of it].
