WWE SMACKDOWN RESULTS AND LIVE BLOG FOR FEB. 01

C.J. here to end the week right!

Recap of Paul Heyman's performance review from Monday Night Raw.

Recap of The Big Show's beatdown of Ricardo Rodriguez and Alberto Del Rio.

Del Rio outside the arena, waiting for Show to appear.

Booker T is standing in the ring -- surrounded by a gaggle of WWE Superstars -- welcomes us to Friday Night SmackDown. He reminds us that John Cena won the Royal Rumble (thank you for reminding us, Booker) but he will be chasing the WWE Championship.

It's time to find out who will be fighting for the World Heavyweight Championship

He will be putting The Great Khali, Randy Orton, Daniel Bryan, Kane, Sheamus, and Dolph Ziggler in the Elimination Chamber match for them to earn that title shot.

CHECK ONE-TWO!

WELL LOOK AT THAT! Jack Swagger on his way to the ring. He feels "left out of the gathering of World Champions."

Booker: "Swag…where you been, dog?"

My thoughts exactly.

Swagger informs Booker that he's been watching everything, and he's very disappointed in the direction WWE is heading.

And he wants to be put into the Elimination Chamber.

Booker tells him that he has to earn it like everyone else. He sees seven people standing in and around the ring, but only six spots available.

Ziggler speaks up. He is "Mr. Money in the Bank." He sees no need to put himself in one of the most brutal and barbaric matches in WWE. He can cash in whenever he wants, including WrestleMania.

So he peaces out.

Booker says he can chicken out of the Chamber, but not chicken out of his match with Del Rio.

Booker then tells the rest of the crew that everyone will be in a match tonight. If they impress him and Teddy Long, they will be in the Chamber.

But now we start the night off with a bang. We got some tag team match action!

----------

Hell No vs. Sin Cara & Rey Mysterio

Mysterio and Kane start the action off. Kane with an Irish Whip from post to post. He is quick to follow, but Rey is able to get his knees up.

Kane stumbles back. Rey charges, but Kane attempts to counter with a sidewalk slam. Rey does his own counter into a DDT. He goes for the cover, but Kane tosses him off at one.

Kane goes after Rey. Rey drops the top rope and over goes Kane. A flying dropkick and butt drop leaves Kane staggering on the outside.

Rey posing in the ring, much to the crowd's enjoyment.

Back into the ring Kane goes, who is immediately met with a dropkick to the knee.

Tag to Sin Cara. A double team kick and Sin Cara goes for the cover. Again, Kane tosses him off at one.

Kane quickly tosses Sin Cara into the corner. A tag sends Bryan into the ring.

He sends Sin Cara into the ropes. Sin Cara is able to reverse it with a handspring back elbow. He follows it up with a hurricanrana and a top rope arm drag.

Tag to Rey. A double team butt drop only gets him two.

Into the ropes Rey goes. He attempts the hurricanrana, but Bryan is able to stop the rotation and hit a modified Codebreaker.

Tag to Kane, who drops the elbow on the luchador. An Irish Whip to the post is followed by a hard clothesline.

Only good for two.

JBL: "Doctor Emmett Brown and his Flux Capacitor is more qualified to look into Hell No's brains than Dr. Shelby."

A stiff right to the mask from Kane. Bryan gets the tag. Kane whips him towards Rey, and Bryan drops the kicks.

Goes for the cover, but Rey gets the shoulder up at two.

Rey is able to send Bryan into the ropes, setting up the 6-1-9. Bryan -- being a very crafty fellow -- realizes what is going on and slides under the ropes.

Bryan: "NO! NO! NO!"

We come back from commercial with Bryan working Sin Cara's arm. Sin Cara makes his way to his feet. He sends Bryan into the post. He tries to follow, but Bryan is able to get the knees up.

It doesn't matter to Sin Cara, who delivers a nasty kick to the dome. He tries to climb up the post, but Bryan is able to push him off. Sin Cara does a fancy little backflip. Style points don't matter, though, because Bryan delivers a drop kick from the second rope that sends Sin Cara flipping.

JBL: "We got ourselves a flying goat!"

Bryan locks in the surfboard. He only holds it for a minute, though, before reaching over and tagging in Kane.

Kane lands the drop kick and goes for the cover. Only good for two.

Sin Cara tries to crawl away from "The Big Red Monster," but Kane picks him up and lands a sidewalk slam.

Only good for a two count.

Sin Cara is able to reeves into a spinning DDT, and both men are down.

BRYAN GETS A HOT TAG! REY GETS A HOT TAG! EVERYONE GETS A HOT TAG!

Rey gets his shine with a hurricanrana, shoulder block through the ropes, and a butt drop. He flies across the ring to drop kick Kane, before coming back to Bryan. He goes for the head scissors, but Bryan tries to reverse it into a rollup. Rey is able to roll out and kick Bryan right in the goat face.

He goes for the cover, but Bryan kicks out at two.

Bryan tries to run the ropes, but a drop toe hold sets him up for the 6-1-9. Kane is able to make his way in and grab Rey's throat. Sin Cara tries to break it up, but a boot to the mask sends him flying out of the ring.

But Sin Cara comes in with the drop kick to break the hold. He then launches himself out of the ring to hit a cross body on Kane.

We believe you, Del Rio.

Recap of the mess that was the karaoke segment on Raw.

Jinder Mahal vs. The Great Khali

Khali swings widely, he doesn't blow out his knees, and he gets the pinball. That's all I'm going to do on any Khali match. If you don't like it, email Geno Mrosko.

Also, Drew McIntrye was swinging his hips at Natalya. Can't say I blame him.

----------

Backstage with Booker and Teddy. Booker seems impressed by Khali's match -- which one was he watching? -- but he was "blindsided" by the return of Jack Swagger.

Teddy drops the bombshell that it was his idea to bring Swagger back!

Before Booker can react, Team Rhodes Scholars appear. They have made the difficult decision to dissolve the team and return to singles competition.

No…no…no….

They promise to remain best friends. Sandow quotes Albert Camus, "Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend."

I think I may be tearing up a bit, guys.

Sandow and Cody share a hug, telling each other they are best friends.

Okay, now the water works are going. This is too much right now.

Booker finally breaks up the love fest, and tells Sandow that he will be going one-on-one against Sheamus.

Cody: "I will be with you…in spirit."

Such a good friend

Booker: "Looks like you went from Rhodes Scholars to road kill."

Not cool, Booker. Not cool at all.
