At Tuesday night’s SmackDown television taping, Mr. Money in the Bank Randy Orton was injured during his match against World Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio.

According to WWE medical personnel, the nine-time World Champion suffered a cervical strain and cervical neuropraxia.

Not happy that they've given Mark Henry a fully-fledged face turn it seems, ridiculous booking.

Also Albert Del Rio to be released?

Oh boy, Big Show returns on Raw! I reckon they will either pair him up with Henry or be a victim to the Wyatt Family.

Disappointed Vickie's GM, but then again prefer to Teddy.

Hope Ortons injury aint too serious.

So if Vickie's the Smackdown GM where does this leave Booker T? Maybe a short in-ring run?


And does Randy Orton's strained cervix top X-Pac's broken ass?

I didn't know men had a cervix??

That was my first thought when I read it but didnt want to show my ignorance!

Maybe Wilkers can clear up this for us - he is really good on all things bilogical.

Unless men have a uterus/womb then they definitely don't have a cervix.

A cervical strain doesn't mean a strain of the cervix...

What does a cervical strain mean then?

Quiet you!


I know that and YOU know that, but THEY don't know that.


So just go with it  

It's whiplash. A Cervical strain is known as whiplash.

Looks like the "Beating" Ryback gave to Y2J has signaled the start of the Fozzy Tour:

Chris Jericho ‏@IAmJericho
So long to @WWE for now…2013 was one of my favorite in ring yrs ever! Thx for always sticking w Y2J & see u on the road soon w @FOZZYROCK!

I dont see why anyone can be disappointed qith a Henry run in, I know it turns him face but it'd be even less logical if he didn't take issue with The Shield,  I dont think his objective would be to save the Uso's, it'd be to get revenge on the guys who jumped him Monday night...the question is why did The Shield take him out at that particular time

Big Show to be another 'Paul Heyman guy'?

I'm not disappointed with the run in, I'm disappointed that they've chosen to turn Henry face. It was ambiguous on Monday whether they were doing that, I thought they might have just been writing Henry out for a bit.

So the WWE have turned the best 2 heels they had (CM Punk and Mark Henry) face? Who is going to step up now?

I for one hope its Bray Wyatt. I would also like to see Fandango get the momentum he had before the concussion. Yes Im still championing Fandango!!!

Randy Orton will be the number 1 heel after Summerslam, mark my words.

Hopefully!!

Punk might have been the best heel they had but for the type of character he is (The Best In The World) then he is a better face when hes being himself that is and not the happy clapper he turned into after the 2012 Rumble

Its a strange one, I can see why The Shield would take him out, hes the Worlds Strongest Man, if you want to re-establish your dominance you go after the biggest dog in the yard, on the flip sode Henry isn't the type of character who just sits back and lets people bully him.

Mark Henry has been a great character over the last couple of years but for me he's served his purpose, his best days are behind him and he should be opposite guys they want to place in better position.

John Cena beating Henry meant very little, Roman Reigns or Dean Ambrose going over him now is huge

One thing i have been wanting to say for a while, is Smackdown is getting A LOT better. Best it has been for a while. Keep it up WWE.

Vickie has GM of Smackdown though, really?

Ive got no idea what the logic is with Vickie Guerrero, is Vince so far removed from his own product that he actually believes fans want her? I cant remember the last time I actually watched one of her segments, I instantly fast forward when she comes on TV, Some people live by the rule any reaction is better than no reaction but when the derision leads to people turning off or skipping segmenys then thats never a good thing

mark henry delivered one of the best heel promos in years, then 3 weeks later they turn him face.

Does anyone thinking with the amount of heels around that they have just tried to find someone to face off against them?

Does anyone else think that Mark Henry came across so well with that last promo that they thought the fans would get behind him as a face? His interaction with the crowd and his off the cuff banter migjt have persuaded the powers that be that at least for a while he could be a guy the fans could care about enough to get a heel over like Swagger, Del Rio, Cesaro, Ambrose, Reigns, Sandow

Got a feeling its part of the whole bigger picture of Triple H Vs Mr McMahon. Vince is behind Vickie and wanted her to stay on Raw, when she is removed Vince uses his power because he can to keep her in a job on Smackdown. Triple H/Steph will get angry along the lines of 'if she's not good enough for Raw why does she have a job on Smackdown?' It will be part of the intensifying of the fued building in the background.

Sorry Hodge, I get the actual storyline im just meaning from a real life look at the product I've no idea who behind the scenes actually looks at Vickie and believes she adds to the product

Agree she is just disgusting to watch, whenever she is on my screen i just fast forward.

I'm presuming Henry turns face now as the whole retirement schtick was probably a precursor for what's to come. I'm expecting a last run of some sort is coming, I suppose he deserves to be cheered on his way out of the building.

Henry's signed a new 3 year contract so it looks as if we'll be waiting a while for his actual retirement speech.

If it adds to a on screen storyline in the whole then I imagine they see it as the greater good for the company for her to be utilised.

But she has been unwatchable for years! I understand the fact that she was in the Raw GM position at the time means it makes sense as far as the McMahon storyline goes, but she shouldn't have been in that position in the first place!

Booker was a decent GM, as was John Laurinitis, as Brad Maddox is at the moment. Vickie is awful and Teddy Long is stale, but these two appear to be on a rotation when WWE have proven that other people can fill the role in a more entertaining manner!

Brad Maddox on one brand and John Laurinaitis on the other would be amazing! The skits would be comedy gold with the both of them trying to be "cool" but failing epically!!

Don't buy that at all, they could do that storyline with anyone if they wanted to do that storyline but they keep going back to Vickie because someone high up behind the scenes must truly believe the fans want to watch Vickie

She's past her sell-by date by a couple of years now, but she does still get heat, the only issue is that it's legitimate heat, people are booing because they don't want to see her.
