WWE Smackdown live event
Boise, Idaho
Report by Dot Net reader Melissa

Taco Bell Arena was maybe 1/2 to 3/4 full, it was a lot less people than usual.

1. Cody Rhodes won a 10-man battle royal to earn an Intercontinental Title match. The participants were Wade Barrett, Johny Curtis, Justin Gabriel, Daniel Bryan, Cody Rhodes, Shamus, Jimmy and Jey Uso, Tyson Kidd, and Jinder Mahal. Rhodes ended up picking the win.

The hostess for the evening came out to talk about a contest to go backstage. Natalya (bless her) came out and interrupted. She cut a pretty impressive promo on her and then AJ came out.

2. A.J. beat Natalya. After some domination by Natalya, AJ picked up the win while Natalya was distracted.

3. Jinder Mahal and the Great Khali defeated The Uso Brothers in a tag team match.

4. Daniel Bryan beat Wade Barrett. Bryan won with a LaBelle Lock.

5. Ezekiel Jackson beat Cody Rhodes to retain the Intercontinental Title.

6. Sheamus beat Mark Henry by DQ. Henry used a chair and was disqualified.

7. Christian beat Randy Orton in a Street Fight to retain the World Hvt. Championship. Great match with Christian catching some great heat before the match started, pointing out that him cheating to win his title was like wearing blue football uniforms on a blue turf is cheating (a direct reference to Boise State University's blue field).

Nice back and forth with the kendo stick. Christian got the pinfall and left the ring. Randy stuck around for a bit, Cody Rhodes came out (paper bag in hand) and attacked him, Orton laid him out with an RKO. Christian came back out to attack Orton from behind, but also got taken out with an RKO.
