November 25 , 2011 Smackdown results The November 25 , 2011 Edition of Smackdown is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s Smackdown brand , which took place on November 22 , 2011 at the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza in Wilkes - Barre , Pennsylvania . Summary . World Heavyweight Champion Mark Henry hobbled to the ring , the direct result of an injury suffered at the hands of Big Show five days earlier at Survivor Series . The World ’ s Strongest Champion denied that he got himself intentionally disqualified at the Silver Anniversary of WWE ’ s second longest running pay - per - view , saying his adversary made that up to make him look like the bad guy . When Big Show emerged , Henry declared that there wouldn ’ t be a title rematch . Instead , he called the giant “ The World ’ s Largest Loser , ” inspiring the massive Superstar to knock him out with the WMD . Moments later , Daniel Bryan stunned the WWE Universe by emerging to cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase and pin the out - cold Henry for what appeared to be the biggest victory of his career . However , SmackDown GM Theodore Long informed him that because The World Strongest Man was injured and not “ medically cleared ” to compete , the pin was invalid . Returning the Money in the Bank briefcase to Bryan , Long proclaimed that he would compete in a Fatal 4 - Way main event to decide who will face Henry for the World Title during a LIVE episode of SmackDown this Tuesday at 8 / 7 . Knocking Justin Gabriel off the top rope , an extremely brutal Hunico flipped down onto his high - flying opponent to claim a huge win . One week ago , Kaitlyn was noticeably upset when her partner AJ tapped out to Natalya ’ s Sharpshooter to end their match against the " pin - up strong " duo . This week , Michael Cole reported that the blonde Diva ’ s frustration came from the large amount of attention her partner was paying to Daniel Bryan , rather than focusing on their matches . In their tag team rematch – with Alicia Fox sitting in with the SmackDown announce team – Natalya again scored a victory over AJ with the Sharpshooter . However , after the bell , Kaitlyn decided to walk out on her best friend , leaving Natalya free to put AJ in another submission hold – trying to make the “ spunky ” Diva cry . Without A - Fox intervening , AJ might have been locked in the painful maneuver indefinitely . Dolph Ziggler did not come to SmackDown at a loss for words , as both Vickie Guerrero and the bleach blond champion openly bragged about his two victories at Survivor Series five days ago . Still , all the talk in the world couldn ’ t stop the United States Champion from getting pinned by Zack Ryder for the third time in a month , this time in tag team action . The Long Island Iced Z executed the Rough Ryder leg lariat on Ziggler for the victory – just seconds after Sheamus avoided the Zig Zag with a display of incredible power . As Ted DiBiase and Heath Slater were set to lock horns , Jinder Mahal appeared on the TitianTron – admonishing the leader of the " DiBiase Posse " in both Punjabi and English for “ forsaking his family , wealth , and upbringing ” to hang out in parking lots with a bunch of mere commoners . ” Slater took advantage of the distraction , attacking his opponent from behind . This set the ground work for an intense battle between the two determined Superstars . Despite a hard - fought match by The One Man Southern Rock Band , DiBiase ultimately reigned supreme with Dream Street . In a whirlwind Fatal 4 - Way Match , Daniel Bryan , Randy Orton , Wade Barrett and Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes faced off to decide who would challenge an injured Mark Henry for the World Heavyweight Championship this Tuesday . Just when Orton looked ready to close the door on Bryan in the conclusion of the explosive showdown , Barrett pulled The Viper out of the ring and extinguished his offensive with a DDT . Rhodes seized the opportunity , attempting to pin the fallen Bryan . However , out of nowhere , Mr . Money in the Bank turned the tide , locking in the LeBell Lock to make the Intercontinental Champion tap out . After the bell , an infuriated Rhodes attacked the triumphant Superstar . But , Randy Orton quickly put a stop to his offensive , hitting the aggressor with the RKO and allowing Bryan to savor his moment . As a result of his mega - victory , Bryan earned himself a World Heavyweight Title Steel Cage Match against Mark Henry on the following LIVE holiday edition of SmackDown .
