September 16 , 2011 Smackdown results The September 16 , 2011 Edition of Smackdown is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s Smackdown brand , which took place on September 13 , 2011 at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto , Ontario , Canada . Summary . An emotional Edge returned home to both SmackDown and Toronto , informing the WWE Universe that he would host “ The Cutting Edge ” later in the show with special guests World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton and Mark Henry . However , The Master Manipulator was promptly interrupted by Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes , who simultaneously insulted The Rated - R Superstar and reminded the WWE Universe of his monumental triumph over The Viper on a the RawSuperShow four days earlier . Edge humiliated the infuriated Rhodes , walking out on him before he “ fell asleep . ” This caused the irate Intercontinental Champion to launch into a tirade on the WWE Universe . However , as he was proclaiming whose face should be covered up first , a disguised Ted DiBiase – wearing one of Rhodes ’ paper bags – suddenly knocked him off his feet from the front row . Shaking with rage , DiBiase pulled off his cover and jumped the barricade , dishing out an onslaught on his adversary that culminated in Dream Street . Though Rhodes escaped before he , too , was covered by a paper bag , DiBiase ’ s successful retribution brought the WWE Universe to its feet . In very a personal match , the ultra - aggressive Sin Cara went too far with his unrelenting attack on Daniel Bryan – continuing his assault after his opponent got trapped upside - down in the turnbuckle . This left the referee no choice but to call for the bell and award the match to Bryan by disqualification . However , when the punishment continued after the bell , a second Sin Cara suddenly emerged , leaping into the ring to the same music and the same exact look ! Staring each other down in the middle of the ring , the dual Sin Caras left the WWE Universe in a storm of uncertainly as to just what is going on and who is who . With her fellow Diva of Doom Natalya in tow , Beth Phoenix – the No . 1 contender to the Divas Championship – absolutely dominated the self - professed “ Geek Goddess ” A . J . After the match , The Glamazon sent a powerful message to Divas Champion Kelly Kelly and the rest of WWE ’ s “ Cinderellas ” “ At Night of Champions , ” she said , “ the clock will strike midnight and the fairytale will be over . ” After escaping Wade Barrett ’ s Wasteland , Sheamus blasted the English Superstar with the Brogue Kick , paving the road for Justin Gabriel to reign supreme with the 450 Splash . Following the match , The Celtic Warrior invited Christian back in the ring , but the former World Heavyweight Champion would not take the bait . . As Jinder Mahal screamed at The Great Khali in Punjabi from outside the ring , Heath Slater attempted to take advantage of the distraction . Though The Punjabi Nightmare regained the advantage , Mahal quickly joined the assault , giving Khali the win by disqualification . Ultimately , the gigantic Superstar overcame the double team , causing Mahal to flee before executing a crushing Punjabi Plunge on The One Man Southern Rock Band . As they came to the ring , R - Truth and The Miz mocked both the WWE Universe and Toronto by performing a “ remix ” of Truth ’ s rap song “ What ’ s Up ! ” entitled “ You Suck ! ” Then , with Miz and Kofi Kingston joining the SmackDown announce team , Truth overcame his opponent , avoiding Air Bourne before catching the high - flying opponent with a quick blow . In the same week , both Truth and Miz beat the WWE Tag Team Champions in singles competition . Have they garnered enough momentum to dethrone Kingston & Bourne this Sunday at Night of Champions ? Through his assistant Zack Ryder , SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long made it clear to both World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton and Mark Henry that there was to be “ no contact ” between them while appearing as special guests on “ The Cutting Edge . ” The SmackDown GM decreed that if there was any physicality , their World Heavyweight Championship Match at Night of Champions would be called off . Returning to SmackDown in heroic style , the incomparable Edge questioned both Superstars about their ability to defeat each other this Sunday . While Henry insisted that 15 years of aggression was building up to the moment when the World Title would finally be his in just two days , Orton made it clear that after the pay - per - view was over , Henry would still be the “ World ’ s Strongest Failure . ” 10 : 24 As tensions reached a fever pitch , The Ultimate Opportunist reminded his guests about the SmackDown ’ s GM “ no contact ” decree during his show . However , as he exited the ring , he declared “ The Cutting Edge ” to be officially over , lighting the fuse to Henry and Orton ’ s extremely explosive physical confrontation . As Orton and Henry began to unload on each other , Long sent out a sea of WWE Superstars to break them up . This did little good , as both WWE ’ s Apex Predator and The World ’ s Strongest Man broke loose in the bedlam and immediately reengaged each other . Henry eventually gained the advantage , throwing Superstars from the ring and crushing the World Heavyweight Champion with two massive splashes . Holding the World Title high above his head , the infuriated No . 1 contender prophesized what could very well be Randy Orton ’ s fate at Night of Champions .
