November 18 , 2011 Smackdown results The November 18 , 2011 Edition of Smackdown is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s Smackdown brand , which took place on November 15 , 2011 at the Webster Bank Arena in Bridgeport , Connecticut . Summary . SmackDown opened in a state of turmoil , as the “ disrespected ” World Heavyweight Champion Mark Henry unleashed a ruthless assault on Daniel Bryan near the locker room area , before dragging his prey out in front of the WWE Universe to continue the carnage . Though Mr . Money in the Bank tried valiantly to fight back , his fierce attacker proved too strong . After delivering back - to back World ’ s Strongest Slams to finish off the gutsy target of his rage , Henry promised that this Sunday , Big Show will be carried out of Survivor Series at Madison Square Garden and he would leave still the World Heavyweight Champion . Prior to Dolph Ziggler ’ s match with Sin Cara , Vickie Guerrero praised the fact that the United States Champion will compete twice at Survivor Series – defending his title against John Morrison and replacing an injured Christian in the 5 - on - 5 Traditional Survivor Series Tag Team Match . After avoiding Sin Cara ’ s aerial assault , Ziggler reversed his opponent ’ s pin attempt , grabbing the victory with the help of a handful of tights . When the smug Ziggler celebrated after the match , his outraged masked foe attacked . Guerrero quickly called for Jack Swagger , who emerged to help his Survivor Series teammate . But the two - on - one assault was soon dismantled by Mason Ryan , who charged into the ring and hurled the bleach blond Superstar into the air with incredible force . Following the altercation that took place after the Sin Cara vs . Dolph Ziggler match , Teddy Long made an impromptu showdown between Mason Ryan and Jack Swagger . The ultra - powerful Ryan ultimately emerged victorious , locking Swagger in a full nelson , before driving him into the canvas . Claiming the injuries to his neck and ankle that caused him to be replaced at Survivor Series could keep him out of action for months , Christian laid the blame on Big Show ’ s attack two weeks ago , SmackDown GM Theodore Long ’ s “ incompetence ” and the strain of WWE ’ s recent European Tour . Promising to continue to inspire the members of Team Barrett to victory at Survivor Series , the former World Heavyweight Champion tore into the WWE Universe for not being sympathetic to his plight . NXT ’ s power couple , “ Beta - Max , ” made their SmackDown debut , as Derrick Bateman took on Ted DiBiase . But , with the “ DiBiase Posse ” in full effect , love would not win out . Instead , it would be the happy - go - lucky second - generation Superstar who picked up another impressive win with Dream Street . Big Show may have arrived in Bridgeport too late to stop Mark Henry ’ s brutal assault on Daniel Bryan . However , with The World ’ s Strongest Champion ’ s attack on him at Money in the Bank still in the forefront of his mind ( PHOTOS ) , the giant made it clear that his ferocious foe would not walk out of Survivor Series . In no uncertain terms , he promised to capture the World Title with the help of the WMD . In a fast - paced thrill ride between Survivor Series Tag Team Match combatants , Kofi Kingston reigned supreme over Hunico with the SOS . After the bell , the Mexican high - flyer showed open hostility toward the referee , for what he clearly felt was an earlier missed three - count in his favor . Two days before Divas Champion Beth Phoenix will battle Eve in a Lumberjill Match at Survivor Series , The Fabulous Firebird teamed up with her “ Pin - up Strong ” cohort Natalya . Despite a spirited effort by their beautiful opponents , Natalya ultimately made AJ tap out to the Sharpshooter . An injured Christian lurked at ringside as four of the key Superstars involved in this Sunday ’ s 5 - on - 5 Traditional Tag Team Match went head - to - head . Though not able to compete , the crafty Superstar still influenced the outcome of the match , delivering a painful crutch blow to Sheamus , ending the match in disqualification . When Survivor Series Team Captain Barrett & Rhodes attempted to use the crutch after the match , The Celtic Warrior turned the tide , blasting Rhodes with the Brogue Kick . Sheamus then broke the weapon over Barrett ’ s back , setting up Team Captain Orton to blast The English Superstar with the RKO . The Great White then followed suit , hitting the Celtic Cross on the Intercontinental Champion to give Team Orton incredible momentum heading into Survivor Series .
