WWE Smackdown Taping Off-Air Notes; Dark Matches & More

June 27, 2012

Thanks to Kenny Douglass for sending in the following:

-Prior to last night's WWE Smackdown taping, Brodus Clay defeated Drew McIntyre in the event's dark match.

-After the taping was over, John Cena defeated Big Show and Tensai in a Handicap Match. The match was advertised as Big Show and John Laurinaitis teaming together against Cena, however Johnny was replaced by Tensai.

After Cena got the win in the match by pinning Tensai, Laurinaitis came out and attempted to hit Cena with a chair. Cena blocked the attempt and hit Johnny with the AA.

-Ryback seems to be getting over as a large "Feed Me More" chant broke out in the audience, and there were notably less Goldberg chants.

-The pink Dolph Ziggler T-Shirt was sold out by the end of the night.
