WWE Smackdown Results 1/4/13

Previously, The Shield attacked Randy Orton. Tonight, Randy Orton and his voices return to Smackdown. Last week, Big Show punched Ricardo Rodriguez and Booker T could not believe what happened. Ricardo had a shot on Monday, but Alberto Del Rio came to his aid.

This week, we are in Richmond, Virginia and your announcers are Josh Mathews and John Layfield.

Randy Orton comes to the ring and he is very deliberate in his travails to the ring. Randy says that since tonight is the first Smackdown of 2013, and since it is the in thing to . . . declare your New Year’s Resolution, he will make this short and sweet. Randy says that he wants to be World Champion. Not too long ago, Smackdown was his show.

Lately that doesn’t really seem to be the case. There is a way to change that. Randy says that he is officially announcing his entry into the 2013 Royal Rumble.

Sheamus’ music plays and he makes his way to the ring . . . fella.

Sheamus apologizes for interrupting. He says that he is not going to steal Randy’s thunder, but he is going to do the same thing. He will be in the 2013 Royal Rumble match. Sheamus says that is not the only reason he is out here. He wants to thank Randy for his help with the Shield.

Randy says that he was not helping Sheamus. The Shield attacked him last month and he did it for himself.

At the Royal Rumble, it is every man for himself.

Sheamus reminds Orton that he won last year.

Orton says that it will mean more when he eliminates the former Royal Rumble winner.

Sheamus asks if he Brogue Kicks Orton’s head over the top rope but his body stays in the ring, does that count as an elimination?

Big Show’s music plays and he goes to the stage. Show says that he was listening to them yapping about being in the Royal Rumble and winning the World Championship. Show says that if one of them survives the Royal Rumble, all they will get a shot at is his fist. Show tells Sheamus that his 2013 will end like his 2012 with him knocking Sheamus out.

Show tells Orton that he will step on the snake with his size eighteen boots and grind him into the ground.

Show says that he is the most dominant champion.

Antonio Cesaro’s music plays and he says that this is typical American talking about who is going to beat up whom.

Sheamus reminds Heidi that he is from Ireland.

Cesaro says that is worse. He does not talk, he takes action. He has been talking about soft, lazy, grotesquely obese Americans. It is something you should realize by looking in the mirror.

Orton tells Cesaro that this soft, lazy, and fat American go up there and RKO both of them.

That threat gets Booker T on the stage and he is gonna stop this before it gets out of hand. Since these four men don’t like each other, Show and Cesaro are going to have to get along. They will face Randy Orton and Sheamus in a tag match tonight.

We go to commercial.

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.

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].
