WWE Smackdown Spoilers 15/11/11 - Big Show vs Mark Henry Builds

WWE tapings in Hershey, PA Dark Match: Justin Gabriel defeats Kenny Dykstra (former member of the Spirit Squad getting a try-out match) NXT tapings: 1) Percy Watson defeated Derrick Bateman. 2) JTG defeated Yoshi Tatsu. 3) Titus O'Neil defeated Tyler Reks. Superstars tapings; 1) Tyson Kidd defeated Trent Baretta SmackDown tapings; SmackDown opens with Mark Henry beating up Daniel Bryan backstage (I wish the guy who attended who could into more details... was this a cold opening on the beat down or what?) and Henry brings him to the ring and gives him a World's Strongest Slam. WWE officials pulled Bryan out of harm's way and then Henry cut a promo on the Big Show for their Survivor Series rematch. Hopefully they mentioned that Henry got fined or something otherwise it's not a positive message to put out there for a company who support anti-bullying campaigns. Vicki Guerrero comes out and clarifies the internet confusion and just as I guessed, Dolph Ziggler is pulling double duty at the PPV. He has both replaced Christian as a member of Team Barrett and also will defend his U.S. title against Zack Ryder. 1) Dolph Ziggler defeated Sin Cara - Though he needed some help from Jack Swagger to do it and that brought out Mason Ryan for the save. 2) Mason Ryan defeated Jack Swagger Backstage segment involving Big Show, Zack Ryder and Justin Gabriel. Ted DiBiase and Hornswoggle are playing WWE 12 in the back and then Teddy Long and Aksana come in and although the writer doesn't state it's probably more flirting crap. An injured Christian came out wearing a neckbrace, a cast on his foot and a crutch. He only has a knee injury but for storyline purposes they are going all out. He says he will turn up at Survivor Series to support Team Barrett (presumably he will help commentary as it will be awkward for him to stand through the whole match). Christian tells us he wants just "one more match". AJ Lee and Big Show are concerned about Bryan and checking his condition with the trainers backstage. Seeing Bryan hurt only angers Show more and he vows to take down Henry. 3) Ted DiBiase defeated Derrick Bateman Big Show is looking for Henry but bumps into Tyson Kidd and Jinder Mahal. Show knocks Mahal out and comes to the ring to cut a promo on Henry. 4) Kofi Kingston defeated Hunico Ezekiel Jackson promo airs. 5) Natalya and Beth Phoenix defeated Kaitlyn and AJ Lee 6) Randy Orton & Sheamus defeated Cody Rhodes & Wade Barrett by DQ when Christian hit Sheamus with a crutch. Team Orton beat down on everyone to end the show. In the dark match main event, Mark Henry took on The Big Show with Booker T as the referee.
