Dot Net readers Michael Trento and James Korona are at the WWE Smackdown taping in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. and are sending separate reports. You must refresh the page for the latest updates.

The crowd came alive for Booker T, maybe since they don't have to listen to him. Michael Cole entered to no music and monster heat. The "We Want Ryder" chants started. Josh Mathews came out and it was like nobody noticed.

A Mark Henry promo started the show. He said the people are happy to see him in pain and we should give him more respect for being champing. He said he's hurt but not broken. He said it was actually Big Show's fault that he kicked him below the belt at Survivor Series. Big Show comes out and explained why Henry kicked him. Henry said Big Show is the world's largest loser, which set up Big Show knocking him out.

Daniel Bryan ran out and cashed in his Money in the Bank contract and pinned Henry. The place went nuts. However, Teddy Long came out and said that Mark Henry could not compete, so the title change does not stand.

Long gave Bryan his briefcase back and told him that he's in the main event with Cody Rhodes, Wade Barrett, and Randy Orton in a four-way match to determine the No. 1 contender for the live Smackdown next week. He said the winner of that match would face Big Show, but he didn't say when (presumably TLC).

1. Hunico defeated Justin Gabriel. The crowd could not have cared less about this match.

2. Beth Phoenix and Natalya beat A.J. and Kaitlyn. Alicia Fox was out for commentary. There were more We Want Ryder chants. Natalya won in a minute with Sharpshooter and Beth didn't even tag in. Natalya kept AJ in a Sharpshooter but bridged down (awesome). Alicia Fox entered the ring, and Beth and Natalya just left without incident.

The Kane video from Raw aired.

Backstage, Zack Ryder and Sheamus went over their match. Ryder did the "Woo Woo Woo" and Sheamus said the "you know it" line.

3. Sheamus and Zack Ryder defeated Dolph Ziggler and Jack Swagger. Ryder pinned Ziggler.

4. Ted DiBiase defeated Heath Slater.

5. Daniel Bryan beat Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, and Wade Barrett in a four-way to earn a World Hvt. Championship shot next week. Rhodes tapped to the LeBell Lock. Bryan will now face Henry in a cage match.

Dark Match

1. Randy Orton and Daniel Bryan defeated Cody Rhodes and Wade Barrett with Booker T as special referee. Orton pinned Barrett. Booker, Orton, and Bryan all did Spinaroonies to send the crowd home happy.
