Smackdown Opener:
Smackdown opens with Teddy Long announcing the Elimination Chamber participants. The Smackdown Chamber match will officially feature: Daniel Bryan, Wade Barrett, Cody Rhodes, Big Show, Mark Henry and Randy Orton. Henry comes out to complain about his odds in the match and asks for a title match tonight. Long says he’s out of the Chamber match and has no title match tonight. Henry puts his hands on Long, so Long suspends Henry. Henry said if he’s suspended he might as well get his money’s worth. As he goes to further attack Long, out comes Sheamus who hits Henry with a Brogue Kick.
Sheamus, Cody Rhodes In-Ring Segment
Sheamus starts a promo, but is immediately interupted by Cody Rhodes. He says he’ll be the first double title holder since Ultimate Warrior. Teddy Long makes a match for Cody and the Great White next.
Sheamus vs. Cody Rhodes
The Sheamus vs. Cody Rhodes match was back and forth. Finish came when Sheamus hit the Celtric Cross, just like how Finlay used to do it. Sheamus scores the pin after the big move for the victory.
Justin Gabriel vs. Hunico
Cody Rhodes remains at ringside looking quite angry as the next match hits the ring. It’s Justin Gabriel vs. Hunico. The match ended in a no contest because Rhodes attacked Gabriel before the match even started. After that Hunico and Camacho jumped in and attacked Gabriel until The Great Khali came down to make the save. Khali lays out Hunico and Camacho as Rhodes runs away.
Backstage Segment: Drew McIntyre, Teddy Long, Santino, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Aksana
Backstage, Drew McIntyre and Teddy Long are speaking. Long tells McIntyre that he has to go impress him. Santino runs in saying he found a new tag-team partner and the name is Santin-hooooo! With that said, we find out it’s Hacksaw Jim Duggan. Long makes a non-tag-title match, which will be up next. After that, we get the usual Teddy and Aksana stuff.
-The Mike Tyson WWE Hall Of Fame video package airs.
Primo & Epico vs. Santino & Hacksaw Jim Duggan
The Primo and Epico vs. Santino and Hacksaw Jim Duggan match was a back and forth affair with a lot of “U.S.A.” chants. Primo ends up hitting the Backstabber on Santino when Rosa distracted him. Primo scored the pin for his team.
In-Ring Segment: Daniel Bryan, Big Show & A.J.
World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan comes out and tells everyone that they should be vegans. He explains that he’s a great role model and says he should be in the Elimination Chamber and Big Show doesn’t deserve to be in. This brings out the Big Show. He says he would have been out sooner but he just finished a great big steak. They go back and forth on the mic for a bit until Bryan pokes Show and Show beats him up for it. Show goes to hit him with the Show Stopper but stops mid-way through because A.J. comes back.
Brodus Clay vs. Heath Slater
Up next was Brodus Clay vs. Heath Slater. This was basically a squash match. Drew McIntyre comes out after Clay picks up the victory and attacked Brodus, but ultimately ended up getting beat up by him as well.
Beth Phoenix & Natalya vs. Aksana & Tamina
This was another squash match, with Beth Phoenix and Natalya defeating Aksana and Tamina in about 45 seconds. Natalya tried putting Aksana in the Sharp Shooter, but Tamina makes the save and hits the big splash. They seemed to tease some tension between Natalya and Phoenix afterwards.
Elimination Chamber Change
After the Divas tag-match, they showed a promo that announced that The Great Khali will replace Mark Henry in the Smackdown Elimination Chamber match.
No DQ Match: Randy Orton vs. Wade Barrett
The main event featured Randy Orton taking on Wade Barrett in a no disqualification match. The two go back and forth outside the ring, using chairs and hitting each other on the guard rails. The match went back and forth the entire time. The finish came when Orton hit Barrett with two RKOs. Teddy Long came out and said Orton will face Daniel Bryan next week. That part may have been after the match.
Are they actually teasing Beth vs Nattie at WM…make it happen please!!
