WWE House Show Results From Augusta, GA (12/3) - Booker Vs. Rhodes, Henry Vs. Orton

Thanks to WrestlingINC.com reader Chris Cushman for sending in these results and videos from WWE's house show in Augusta, GA on 12/3:

Ring Announcer Tony Chimmel comes out and introduces General Manager Teddy Long. Long welcomes everyone to the show and announces the card for the night.

1) Ted Dibiase defeated Jinder Mahal. Solid opener with the crowd really behind Dibiase. Lots of Teddy and USA chants throughout. Dibiase hit the dream street for the win. After the match, Cody Rhodes attacked Dibiase.

2) Tyson Kidd defeated Damien Sandow. Sandow is from FCW and was formerly known as Idol Stevens during his last run. It took a little bit for the crowd to get into this one, but Sandow did a pretty good job getting heat (especially with the pin tights he was wearing). I think people were a little confused that Kidd was the face.

3) Justin Gabriel defeated Heath Slater. Again, it took a little bit for the crowd to get into this one, but Gabriel won them over with some impressive moves, including a variation of the 450 splash from the apron for the win. Again, Cody Rhodes attacked after the match. This time he jumped Gabriel as he was signing a fans poster. After the attack, Rhodes cut a promo saying he could do this all night. For some reason, Hornswoggle came out, got in the ring, and got knocked down by Rhodes.

4) Daniel Bryan defeated Hunico. A really good back and forth match that saw Bryan lock on the Lebell Lock for the submission.

5) Booker T defeated IC Champion Cody Rhodes by DQ in a title match. Booker looked really good in the ring and really didn't seem to miss a step. Booker missed the scissors kick a couple times before landing the Book End. This led to Rhodes rolling out of the ring and grabbing his belt. As Booker approached Rhodes, he popped him with the belt. After the match, Booker and Rhodes continued the fight, with Booker getting the upper hand and finally hitting the scissors kick. He then called out Hornswoggle who came out and hit the tadpole splash on Rhodes. Hornswoggle and Booker T then did the spin-a-roonie much to the crowd's delight.

Kaitlyn is out next as the special host for the night. She announces a dance contest with the winner getting to go backstage. The contestants were a guy, 2 girls(one dressed in military uniform), and a kid. The guy got the biggest support, but since it was so close, Kaitlyn said they all won and got to go backstage.

Intermission

6) AJ and Alicia Fox defeated Natalya and Rosa Mendes. Pretty good match. I can see AJ having a Mickie James type career if given the right chance (or push). Finish saw fox pin Mendes following an impressive flip into a leg drop.

7) Sheamus defeated Wade Barrett in a street fight. The main weapons used in this street fight were chairs and a Kendo stick. Finish saw Sheamus escape the Wasteland and hit the Brogue kick for the win.

8) World Champ Mark Henry defeated Randy Orton in a cage match for the title. Orton got by far the biggest pop of the night. Finish saw Orton hit the RKO on Henry, and it appeared that he was on his way out of the cage when Wade Barrett ran in to prevent it. Henry then walked right out as Barrett continued his assault. Henry then rejoined the fight and the two worked over Orton until Sheamus made the save. Orton and Sheamus cleared the ring and posed for the crowd to send everyone home happy.

Really good show tonight. It was my son's first WWE event and he had a blast. We got to the arena early to try to meet some of the wrestlers. Hunico came over and signed autographs and posed for pictures for everyone. Hornswoggle blew everyone off(same as he did the last time I saw him), which really disappointed the kids, my son included.

Biggest Pops:
1) Randy Orton
2) Sheamus
3) Booker T

Most Heat:
1) Mark Henry
2) Cody Rhodes
3) Wade Barrett

12-09: SmackDown results: Orton clocks in and sets the table for WWE TLC

JACKSONVILLE,

Fla. – With WWE TLC just nine days away, Randy Orton won his Beat the Clock Challenge in heroic fashion, giving himself some control

over his fate in his upcoming pay-per-view showdown with Wade Barrett.

Meanwhile, Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes stirred things up with two

vicious sneak attacks, and Big Show made a gigantic point with the help of a

steel chair. 

Randy

Orton def. United States Champion Dolph Ziggler in a Beat the Clock Challenge Match (WATCH | PHOTOS)
In a grueling Beat a Clock Challenge against

Dolph Ziggler, Randy Orton struggled to get back in the ring and best the time of

7:53 – set earlier in the night by Wade Barrett. However, while Vickie Guerrero

distracted the referee, his WWE TLC opponent appeared from nowhere, hurling The

Viper into the steel ring post. Despite this onslaught, the resilient Orton reengaged

Ziggler in time, executing the RKO to overcome his English adversary’s benchmark

by two seconds!

Orton’s

triumph earned him the right to pick his stipulation for his WWE TLC Match

against Barrett. After the main event had concluded, the British brawler made a

forceful suggestion as to what the stipulation should be, attempting to put

Orton through a table. But, The Viper foiled his plan, hurling Dolph Ziggler

through the table instead. (MATCH PREVIEW)

Champion Cody Rhodes def Daniel Bryan by Disqualification (WATCH | PHOTOS)
Daniel Bryan showed incredible intestinal fortitude,

battling Cody Rhodes with injured ribs. But, before their match could be

decided, Booker T returned from an earlier attack by Rhodes, decimating the Intercontinental

Champion and handing him the win by disqualification.

Later, when Rhodes demanded that Theodore Long give

him a match with Booker, the SmackDown General Manager decided to set their Intercontinental

Championship showdown at WWE TLC. (MATCH PREVIEW)    

Sheamus

def. David Otunga (WATCH | PHOTOS)
After “Santa” granted Hornswoggle the ability to

talk on a Live SmackDown 10 days ago, the pint-sized Superstar served as the

guest ring announcer in the match between David Otunga and Sheamus. And, in the

confrontation set by GM Teddy Long earlier in the night, The Great White

triumphed with the devastating Brogue Kick.

Big

Show brutalized World Heavyweight Champion Mark Henry (WATCH | PHOTOS)
A determined Big Show promised to slam the doors

shut on Mark Henry’s Hall of Pain and capture the World Heavyweight

Championship in their Chairs Match at WWE TLC. (MATCH PREVIEW) 

Still not 100 percent from the injury he sustained at

Survivor Series, The World’s Strongest Champion emerged, convincing his giant

foe not to touch him if he got in the ring. However, after shaking hands with

The World’s Largest Athlete, Henry sucker punched him. This sent Big Show on

huge tirade, culminating in a chair assault on the World Heavyweight Champion. 

 

Ted

DiBiase def. Jinder Mahal (WATCH | PHOTOS)
Ten days after Ted DiBiase cost Jinder Mahal his

match on a live holiday SmackDown, the leader of the “DiBiase Posse Party” overcame his

Zack

Ryder def. Health Slater (WATCH | PHOTOS)
The Ryder Revolution rolled on, as the newly-named No. 1 contender to the United States

Championship defeated Health Slater with the Rough Ryder. Has Long Island Iced-Z

earned himself enough momentum to overcome Dolph Ziggler in nine days at WWE

TLC? (MATCH PREVIEW)

Intercontinental

Champion Cody Rhodes took out Daniel Bryan (WATCH | PHOTOS)
A disappointed Daniel Bryan journeyed to the ring in

order to comment on his recent loss in a Steel Cage World Title Match to Mark

Henry on the live SmackDown on Syfy. During a war of words that soon erupted between

him and Michael Cole, Bryan’s “insulted” still present Cody Rhodes, pointing

out that he had made him tap out. When Mr. Money in the Bank came out of the

ring after Cole, Rhodes attacked, leaving the war-torn Bryan on the ringside

floor. 

Wade Barrett def. Ezekiel

Jackson in a Beat the Clock Challenge Match  (WATCH | PHOTOS)
Battling for the right to pick the stipulation for

his match with Randy Orton at WWE TLC – choosing from tables, ladders or chairs

options – Wade Barrett overcame Ezekiel Jackson in a Beat the Clock Challenge, setting the time for WWE’s Apex Predator to beat at 7:53. Moments after

The Personification of Domination escaped Wasteland, Barrett caught him off the

ropes, delivering a vicious side slam for the crucial victory.

Following the match, Barrett proclaimed that he is

the only voice in Orton's head – and it's telling The Viper his time is up. 

Intercontinental

Champion Cody Rhodes took down Booker T (WATCH)
Prior to the start of SmackDown, Cody Rhodes

launched a sneak attack on an emerging Booker T. Leaving the six-time World

Heavyweight Champion unable to carry out his commentating duties, Rhodes turned

his attention to the returning Lilian Garcia. He informed her that no one cares

that she has returned to WWE, before joining the SmackDown announce team for a

short time. (WATCH)
