WWE taped tonight’s “SmackDown” on Oct. 30 from the the Dunkin' Donuts Center in Fayetteville, N.C.. The show saw Former Tag Team Champions the Miz and Big Show beat Sheamus and Kofi Kingston in a tag team main event, and Wade Barrett defeated Randy Orton after losing to the Viper on “RAW,” reports NoDQ.

The show starts with a segment of MizTV, with the Awesome One interviewing his recent rival and current Intercontinental Champion Kofi Kingston, along with new World Heavyweight Champion Big Show. Sheamus came out to demand a rematch and the tag team main event was made with a reformed ShowMiz facing Kingston and Sheamus.

The Miz and Big Show managed to take out their opponents, continuing Sheamus’ new found losing streak.  

Neither Randy Orton nor Wade Barrett can get traction in their rived feud,, with the Bareknuckle Brawler beating Orton after a distraction from Alberto del Rio. The match serves more to further the Vipers feud with del Rio, but also keeps Barrett’s push to the top going.

Another tag match for the night saw the Prime Time Players defeat Sin Cara and Rey Mysterio. Darren Young and Titus O’Neil continue to face off against the luchadors, and the feud is becoming another highlight to the new tag divison.

A returning Great Khali bested David Otunga. The Punjabi Nightmare made his comeback after undergoing brain surgery.

R-Truth beat Justin Gabriel in a match that appears to be working on Truth entering in a feud against United States Champion Antonio Cesaro. Truth’s bump down from stardom looks permanent, now that he is fighting for the lowest ranked title in the WWE.
