WWE SMACKDOWN RESULTS AND LIVE BLOG AUG. 10

Nolan in.

We are live.

Booker T out for his hometown. Houston, Texas, Booker is stoked.

Spinaroonie time!

Booker saying "Houston, we have a problem!"

Video package of Alberto Del Rio and Sheamus' car incident. This is probably the 100th time I've seen this video package this week.

Booker says he enjoyed seeing ADR squirm, but Sheamus needs to come apologize to the fans and ADR.

And "IT'S A SHAMEFUL THING!" blares.

Sheamus says ADR has tried to take away his dignity with insults, so he took his car. He said he had such a great time with ADR's car, including going to the Alamo and eating a burrito. Sheamus then apologizes to Booker, the WWE Universe, and Alberto Del Rio with a very smarmy face.

ADR enters.

He says that "we are not leaving this behind us." He says Sheamus is a peasant and a thief, a thug, and a criminal. ADR says he wants to go legal on The Great White, but Booker reminds him that if he takes it to court, Sheamus can't defend his title at Summerslam.

ADR is not pleased and says that it reflects on the GM if stuff like this goes down. He demands something be done.

Sheamus tells ADR not to ruffle his own feathers and that he'll put his title on the line against ADR TONIGHT! Booker loves it. ADR says his head says to wait and prepare for Summerslam, but he wants to do it tonight, "perro!"

"NOW CAN YOU DIG THAT, SUCKA?!"

Sin Cara vs. Cody Rhodes

Cody Rhodes notes he is no stranger to wearing masks himself, and he tells us that Sin Cara wears one because he is a coward and because there's nothing special about him under it.

Bell rings and we get the lighting.

Cody Rhodes single legs Sin Cara into the corner and smacks him.

Daniel Bryan is "NO!"ing everyone backstage and it looks like we'll see him after commercials.

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

Wade Barrett video promo. This thing is awesome.

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

"Flight of the Valkyries" hits and we come out to Daniel Bryan trying to "NO!" those fans chanting "YES!"

He mad.

"STOP CHANTING YES!"

Daniel Bryan is mad he isn't in the WWE Championship match and that he isn't just a catchphrase. He is mad AJ has abused her power upon him after the failed marriage attempt.

"DO I DESERVE THAT? THE ANSWER IS NO! NO! NO!"

Bryan says he deserves more than to be insulted. He says he deserves more than to be "walked all over by a skipping, Chucks-wearing broad in a powersuit and her oversized, Frankenstein boytoy."

Awesome.

Enter Kane.

Both men look ready to go, but AJ is here!

AJ says for Daniel to not leave the ring. She says she knows Bryan is shocked to see her on Smackdown, but that's where they first met. She says she is a special guest and she booked Kane and Bryan because they are great athletes. However, she can't both men attacking the audience or each other every week.

AJ says it is really good to see Kane again. She says she never got a chance to tell him how sweet and understanding Kane was to her.

She turns to Bryan and she knows Bryan doesn't like her friendship with Kane or the fact he has never pinned Kane. She offers him a chance to his sanity by shaking Kane's hand and being a good sport.

"NO! NO! NO!"

AJ says she wants a clean fight at Summerslam.

"NO!"

"Shake on it."

"NO! NO! NO!"

"NOW, Daniel."

Bryan extends his hand and tells Kane to "shake his hand." And Kane responds with an uppercut. Kane with punches in the corner, but Bryan counters with leg kicks. Kane going for the chokeslam, but Bryan looking for the "NO!" lock. Kane whips him into the corner for a big boot. Bryan escapes through the crowd and Kane goes back to the ring.

AJ is on the ramp, on her knees laughing. "THAT WAS GREAT!"

Kane looks befuddled, but AJ looking sexy.

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

Time for Chris Jericho's Highlight Reel.

"WELCOME TO THE HIGHLIGHT REEL!"

Jericho introduces...

"EXCUSE ME!"

Vickie is here and informs Jericho that Ziggler would not lower himself to the Highlight Reel. Vickie will speak on his behalf.

Jericho says he is flexible, and he will gladly talk to "Ziggler's mother." He apologizes, and he says that she looks good for someone "her age."

They get into an "EXCUSE ME!" scream-down, which Vickie wins. Jericho says his brain hurts and for her to stop. Vickie says one more insult and she will walk off. Jericho taunts her.

"You'll walk off? YOU'LL WALKOFF?...then get the hell out."

He invites her back and rolls footage from the Alex Riley-Chris Jericho match on the "Jeritron 6000."

He says he had the best Tout ever.

Jericho says Ziggler's record is worse than Vickie's dyejob. Vickie says this is why Ziggler doesn't care about Jericho. She essentially calls Jericho washed-up.

Jericho gets serious and says his legacy stands. He says he's bringing back Y2J and "HE'S BACK, BABY!" He says he's gonna prove to "Ziggy" and all the Jerichoholics that he hasn't lost his touch and he "never....EVVVVVVVVERRRRRRR" will "uh-gain!"

Ziggler comes from behind with the briefcase, but Jericho ducks him and beats him a little. He turns into a HARD Vickie slap, saying she can't talk to him like that. Zigzag from Ziggler. He waits for Jericho to get up and cracks him with the MITB briefcase.

Maniacal laugh from Vickie and Ziggler stands over a KO'd Jericho.
