SmackDown results: Henry adds to his "Hall of Pain"
COLUMBUS, Ohio – The list of broken bodies in Mark Henry’s wake continues to grow. With just nine days until Night of Champions, Zack Ryder, Ezekiel Jackson and World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton all felt the wrath of The World’s Strongest Man.

Once former Legacy allies, World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton and Intercontinental
Champion Cody Rhodes went to war in the night’s main event. After countering the Cross Rhodes, Orton went on to drop the masked Superstar with an RKO for the
win. But the action was far from over.
Similar to the close of last week's Steel Cage Match, the massive Mark Henry had Orton in his sights. This time, though, Orton decided to strike first. But The World’s Strongest Man quickly fired back, driving Orton to the canvas with two World’s Strongest Slams. Then after grabbing a steel chair, the No. 1 contender perched above the champion with his title in hand – and Orton’s throat preciously positioned under the chair. With the champion gasping for air, Henry clearly proved his dominance. But instead of inflicting more damage – including breaking Orton's leg – Henry said his main objective is the World Title. At Night of Champions, can he accomplish his ultimate goal? (PREVIEW)

Still reeling after a high-powered offense from WWE Tag Team Champion Kofi
Kingston, Jinder Mahal took out his frustration by yelling at and smacking The
Great Khali. Enraged by Mahal’s actions, Khali shoved him … right into Kingston's Trouble
in Paradise. After starring down at his fallen tag partner, Khali exited the
ring. Even more flustered, Mahal shouted at The Punjabi Giant as he
simply sauntered away from the ring.
Sheamus def. Wade
Barrett by Disqualification (WATCH | PHOTOS)
As Sheamus and Wade Barrett went toe-to-toe in a cutthroat bout, Christian came
calling. His sneak attack on Sheamus resulted in an immediate disqualification.
Then before he knew it, Sheamus found himself the victim of a 2-on-1 onslaught.
But The Celtic Warrior battled back, dropping Barrett with a Brogue Kick. Christian
appeared to be heading for a similar brutal end, but managed to escape the
Celtic Cross and run from the ring.

Give him credit. Christian just won’t give up. After he rattled off his latest
list of complaints and declared he deserves one more World Heavyweight
Championship Match, Sheamus interrupted. After The Celtic Warrior compared Christian
to a mangy dog, he demanded he leave the ring. After sizing up his critic, Christian reluctantly obliged.
Divas Champion Kelly
Kelly def. Natalya (WATCH | PHOTOS)
From the start, Natalya looked well on her way to victory over Divas Champion Kelly Kelly. But, the champion
managed to counter a Sharpshooter and wrap up the Diva of Doom with small
package for win. After the bell, Beth Phoenix tried to get her hands on Kelly
Kelly, but the champion proved too quick and eluded her grasp.
Sin Cara def. Tyson
Kidd (WATCH | PHOTOS)
Displaying his continued aggressive style, Sin Cara got the pinfall over Tyson
Kidd using a combination of athletic maneuvers off the ropes. When prompted by
Josh Mathews for comments after the win, Sin Cara uttered his first words in
WWE: “… Ever since I started here in the WWE, I've held back out of respect for
the other people. Now that I'm here ... nobody’s gonna stop me … this style and
this aggression, it's me... the real Sin Cara.”
After Sin Cara’s words, Mr. Money in the Bank Daniel Byran came to the ring looking for some retribution for being kicked in the head last week by the international sensation. But when he suggested a rematch next week, Sin Cara responded by locking him in his own signature move – the LeBell Lock. As Sin Cara showed no remorse, it took WWE Official Charles Robinson to help break the hold.

Ezekiel Jackson (WATCH | PHOTOS)
At a hulking 309 pounds, Ezekiel Jackson looked like he might be the man to
finally stop Mark Henry’s path of destruction. But the former Intercontinental
Champion could not get the job done. Displaying his power and dominance, Henry
sent the massive 300-pounder to the canvas with the World’s Strongest Slam for
the win.

Zack Ryder into the “Hall of Pain” (WATCH | PHOTOS)
When Zack Ryder, Assistant to SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long, refused
to say he thought Henry would beat Orton at Night of Champions, he sensed he
might be in trouble. But when Henry said that since he was forbidden from
touching Orton – he’d have to put his hands on somebody – Ryder knew he was in for
pain. Trying his best to avoid the inevitable, Ryder struck first. But he
proved no match for his larger foe, who demolished him with the World’s
Strongest Slam. (WATCH: Mark Henry's "Hall of Pain")
