WWE SmackDown Recap With Tons Of Video: Sheamus Vs. Kane, AJ & Kane? - More

Welcome to our WrestlingInc.com WWE SmackDown Recap for June 8, 2012.

We start tonight with Josh Matthews introducing the show from the University of South Carolina. He is joined by Cole and Booker T.

Alberto Del Rio drives up in a BMW but is introduced by Lilian Garcia. He gets in the ring and shows a video of him taking out Sheamus on RAW. He says he will break his arm at No Way Out and take his title. Sheamus' music hits and out comes Ricardo Rodriguez dressed as Sheamus. I think they got the inspiration from the kid in the front row from a couple weeks back. The music hits again and the real Sheamus comes out. He cleans house. Sheamus chases them up the ramp and slams Del Rio into the WWE logo on the stage. Rodriguez helps Del Rio double team Sheamus as the refs come out to break it up.

Teddy Long comes out and says Johnny is not there and has put him in charge. He says 2 matches have been made for tonight: Kane vs. Sheamus and Del Rio vs. Khali. Khali comes out and the match is next.

Teddy Long is backstage on the phone and is interrupted by Brodus and his dancers. Long tells him he has good and bad news. The bad news is that Johnny has barred Brodus from appearing on RAW to protect him from Big Show. Brodus is upset. The good news is that he is a permanent member of SmackDown. Brodus says to tell his SmackDown opponents that when he sees them, he sees the Big Show and he "will eat them up."

-Footage from Christian's IC Title win at Over the Limit

The Peep Show set is being set up in the ring as Cody Rhodes comes out in a suit and tie. He kicks over the stools and says he doesn't answer to Christian but vice versa. Christian's music hits. He says he beat Cody for the IC Title and if Cody wanted to be the host all he had to do was ask. Cody says before Over the Limit, he didn't care about these people, so why did he go soft?

Christian says he had a moment of clarity. He realized during Edge's Hall of Fame speech that all of this can go away in an instant. He wants his legacy to be more than a whining guy who begged for "one more match." He wants to be a Hall of Famer. Cody says that is garbage and his dad is a Hall of Famer and he himself is a future one. Christian got lucky at Over the Limit but at No Way Out he will get his title back. Ziggler's music hits and says he's here to wrap it up. He's going to beat Christian right now.

Christian vs. Dolph Ziggler

Cody joins commentary. Ziggler gets the early upper-hand and they stop to regroup. They go back and forth and it spills to the outside.

Ziggler is in control as we return to action. Ziggler whips him in hard to the corner then he drops a big knee for a 2. Cody says Christian got lucky at Over the Limit. Christian tries to fight back but Ziggler slingshots him to the corner and drives shoulders to his back. Christian hits a big boot and catches Ziggler with a big powerbomb for a 2. Christian hits a drop toe-hold but falls victim to a bulldog legdrop and barely kicks out. Christian hits a neckbreaker out of nowhere and charges in but Ziggler hits a dropkick. Christian goes up top and connects with a Frogsplash for the win.

Cody applauds from ringside.

-RAW Rebound: Cole vs. Cena

Cole grabs a mic from ringside and says Monday was a traumatic experience for him and he is confident that everyone will move on. JR's music hits and out comes Hornswoggle dressed as JR with a bottle of BBQ sauce. Cole is not impressed. Hornswoggle plays the footage from RAW again. Hornswoggle looks strikingly like JR and he has the whole gimmick down perfectly.

Damien Sandow's music hits and he makes his way to the ring as he says he is here to help all of us. He cannot allow this content to continue to assimilate itself into society. He looks down at Hornswoggle and says you're welcome as Hornswoggle mocks him.

Out of nowhere Tyson Kidd comes down and springboards off the ropes with a front dropkick to Sandow. Kidd invites him back in for a fight but Sandow retreats. Kidd turns around to talk to mini-JR as Sandow attacks him from behind. He hits knees to the gut and his signature neckbreaker and then lounges on his body. Sandow does a cartwheel as he basks in his glory.

-footage from Kane's win over CM Punk from RAW

Matt Striker stops Kane backstage and asks how he feels about presumably defeating the WWE and World Champions in the same week. He says he doesn't have any feelings and he will win the title at the PPV. Striker asks him what the deal was with the look that Kane and AJ shared on RAW. Kane glares at him and Matt backs off. Kane walks away as AJ appears from behind some equipment and watches him.

Jimmy Uso is in the ring as Teddy appears on the stage and says Johnny has asked him to endorse a certain superstar. He pulls out a piece of paper from his coat pocket and begins to read. He introduces Antonio Cesaro and his "lover" Aksana with a bunch of hyperbole.

Antonio Cesaro vs. Jimmy Uso

Aksana disrobes him and he gets in the ring. Cesaro hits some strikes but Uso takes over with some nice offense. Cesaro throws him up in the air and catches him on the way down with an uppercut, which is a fantastic looking move. As I said before, it looks something like a "Mortal Kombat Fatality." Cesaro adjusts his neck and drops Uso with his modified face-plant for the quick win.

Winner by pin: Antonio Cesaro

Cesaro and Aksana celebrate in the ring as Teddy looks on with a stoned-face look. Teddy gets in the ring and raises Cesaro's arm as he kisses Aksana; Teddy leaves in disgust.

Sheamus is winded as he slowly gets up with a look of intensity in his eyes. Sheamus calls for the Brogue Kick as Kane slowly gets to his feet. Kane catches his boot and goes for the Chokeslam but Sheamus counters out and they both hit each other with simultaneous clotheslines.

Ricardo and Del Rio run down and the ref calls for the bell. Ricardo beats Del Rio to the ring and gets a clothesline from Sheamus and Del Rio backs off before actually getting in the ring.
