WWE Smackdown taping
Houston, Texas
Report by Dot Net reader Bobby Krupp

Smackdown started with Alberto Del Rio making his SummerSlam opponent. He first said Brock Lesnar, but Brock was busy. He mentioned Houston's own Booker T, but said that won't work because like all things from Houston, Booker would be a disappointment. He named Ricardo Rodriguez. Vickie Guerrero came out and said that since he was trying to disrespect her, he would face the winner of a Triple Threat main event between Rob Van Dam, Christian, and Randy Orton.

1. Cody Rhodes defeated Jack Swagger. Prior to the match, they showed footage of Cody throwing Damien Sandow's Money in the Bank briefcase into the Gulf of Mexico. Cody won the match with a rollup.
