WWE Smackdown
Sheamus makes his way to the ring. He begins to talk about his World Heavyweight Championship match with Alberto Del Rio when David Otunga interrupts him. Otunga rolls the footage of Sheamus bowling over John Laurinaitis and demands a proper apology. Sheamus blows him off. This brings out Del Rio, who begins to give his own thoughts on his match at Over The Limit. Otunga gives Del Rio the right to choose Sheamus' opponent for the night. Before Del Rio could make a decision, Sheamus nails Otunga with a Brogue Kick, Del Rio makes his escape and Sheamus plays to the crowd.
1. Sin Cara defeats Heath Slater. For the record, there are no obvious botches. Sin Cara also has a new red and white costume.
2. Damien Sandow defeats Ezekiel Jackson. Prior to the match, Sandow starts a promo refusing to wrestle Jackson. He begins to leave before Jackson throws him back into the ring.
Taking us backstage, Dolph Ziggler approaches Alberto Del Rio and wants the match with Sheamus tonight. Del Rio agrees, and the match is set.
3. Ryback defeats two local wrestlers (names unavailable at this time) in a handicap match.
EXCUSE ME! Vickie Guerrero brings Dolph Ziggler to the ring and promises to end Sheamus tonight.
4. Sheamus defeats Dolph Ziggler. Ziggler takes a Brogue Kick and makes it look like Sheamus kills him dead.
Matt Striker interviews CM Punk about his match tonight against Kane for the WWE Championship.
5. Santino Marella and Zack Ryder defeat Titus O'Neil and Darren Young. Immediately after the match ends, The Big Show comes out and throws Santino into the WWE logo on the stage. Show grabs the ringside metal stairs and slams them into Ryder. Show locks in a Camel Clutch on Santino while still on the stage, following it with a WMD. Show stares out at the crowd, and exits.
Going backstage again, AJ is seen with Daniel Bryan. Bryan tells her that CM Punk is only using her.
6. Cody Rhodes defeats Tyson Kidd. Rhodes argues a bit with Christian after the match - I believe Christian came out for commentary.
Kane is shown making his way through the backstage area.
7. CM Punk wrestles Kane to an apparent double disqualification. Daniel Bryan interferes with the match, attacking both Punk and Kane. Kane gives Punk and Bryan a double chokeslam. This is enough for John Laurinaitis to appear and make a Triple Threat match at No Way Out for the WWE Championship. With Bryan and Punk remaining in the ring, Bryan tries to get AJ to leave with him. AJ departs on her own. Bryan slaps Punk in the face two times, and Punk responds with a GTS.
