May 13 , 2011 Smackdown results The May 13 , 2011 Edition of Smackdown is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s Smackdown brand , which took place on May 10 , 2011 at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville , Tennessee . Summary . One week after his career - long dream of being the World Heavyweight Champion was destroyed by a sudden title match with Randy Orton , Christian emerged . He stated to the WWE Universe that he respected GM Theodore Long ' s decision to make their World Title Match , congratulated WWE ' s Apex Predator on winning the title and made it clear that that their rematch at WWE Over the Limit will have a completely different outcome . When Sheamus and Mark Henry both emerged and attacked Captain Charisma , Orton entered to even the odds , later stating that he wanted to face a 100 percent Christian at the fateful pay - per - view in nine days . Before Sin Cara ' s match with Daniel Bryan could begin , Chavo Guerrero took it upon himself to introduce the newly drafted masked Superstar as " following in his footsteps . " Joining the SmackDown announce team , he repeatedly referred to himself Sin Cara ' s " mentor . " But , after the high - flyer realized that his win over Bryan came – at least in part – because of a Guerrero distraction , a frustrated Sin Cara confronted the self - proclaimed " Mexican Warrior . " After Guerrero stuck his finger in his chest , the explosive grappler shoved him to the canvas . Layla informed the WWE Universe that during her match with Michelle McCool at Extreme Rules , she sustained a serious knee injury . Following Michael Cole ' s interruption – which he used to talk about his rematch with Jerry Lawler at WWE Over the Limit – the mesmerizing Kharma emerged . Cole proceeded to trip Layla , allowing the monstrous anti - Diva to drive her to the canvas with absolute force . When Kharma focused her attention to the cocky announcer - turned - competitor , however , Cole quickly scrambled back to the safety of his glass fortress . Just when it looked as if Kane had overcome distractions by The Corre and was set to chokeslam Intercontinental Champion Wade Barrett , Justin Gabriel and Heath Slater attacked . After giving The Big Red Monster the win by disqualification , his adversaries used their overwhelming numbers to take him down . Moments later – one week after getting forcefully " excommunicated " from The Corre – Ezekiel Jackson exploded to the ring , delivering a major onslaught on his former allies before once again succumbing to their 3 - on - 1 assault . The punishment he endured culminated with Gabriel ' s 450 Splash . Newcomer Jinder Mahal interrupted " The Khali Kiss Cam , " stunning the WWE Universe by slapping The Punjabi Nightmare twice before walking away . Carrying the burden of his deep emotional scars , Cody Rhodes urged the WWE Universe – and even his former Legacy ally Ted DiBiase – to hide their faces with paper bags . Despite an ultra - competitive effort by the priceless Superstar , his bitter opponent ultimately reigned supreme with the Cross Rhodes . After The Corre ’ s massive assault on Ezekiel Jackson for the second week in a row , Wade Barrett poked his stick at the self - professed " The Personification of Domination " with an Intercontinental Title challenge . On the same night that the World Heavyweight Championship rematch between Randy Orton and Christian at WWE Over the Limit was announced , the two Superstars found themselves working together in an explosive tag team main event . And as The Viper delivered a devastating RKO to Mark Henry , Captain Charisma hit the Killswitch on Sheamus for the victory . Image Gallery . Source
