- Dark Match: John Morrison def. Tyler Reks
WWE Star John Morrison starts us off to a monster ovation! WWE Star Tyler Reks to some heat. Good to see He's didn't go back to flying planes. Morrison has the crowd in the palm of his hands. Now even Reks is getting MAJOR heat. "Morrison" chants lead to the flying chuck kick and starship pain for the pin about 5 minutes in.
WWE SmackDown! Taping:
WWE SmackDown Opener:
WWE Star Kane has a major announcement tonight. We're starting with Alberto Del Rio shenanigans. Glad he gets to use WWE Star Christian Cage's old pyro. There are a whole bunch of servants in ring. One has a pinata. Aye aye aye. At least He's got heat here for taking out Rey. He wrecks the pinata like it's Rey, then toasts to himself. Speaking of Christians pyro, Christian must be here to take it back from him. Christian calls him Juan Bradshaw Layfield n Enrique Iglesias. At least he makes PG comedy work. Del Rio backs down from the proposition of a fight tonight, but we will be seeing Christian in action later. Drew McIntyre runs in. He hops the barricade from crowd to ring and takes a few shots on Christian on the outside. Drew taunts the crowd as the ring is changed. Legendary promo. Blah. Replay of Drew attacking Christian.
- Christian def. Drew McIntyre
McIntyre vs Christian is underway. Second match of the night to tease a double count out at 9. Christian wins in 5 with his recent finisher: the roll up. I'm pissed i don't get to hear McIntyre's theme music.
- Kelly Kelly def. Michelle McCool
WWE Diva Kelly Kelly squared is out for a divas match. Blue is definitely her color. Laycool out next with WWE Diva Michelle being on active duty tonight. Mrs Taker looks good in the SmackDown team colors as well. Layla is on commentary. Michelle with the faithbreaker in 2 or 3 minutes for the clean win.
Notes:
Kane will have an important announcement later.
WWE WrestleMania 27 promo that actually showed Flair. Chris Masters is on his way out now to no worse of a reaction than normal.
- Dolph Ziggler def. Chris Masters
His entrance won't make tv. Vickie is out to RIDICULOUS heat to introduce WWE Star Dolph Ziggler, i barely made out a word she said. Before the match, highlights of WWE Star Kofi chasing Dolph out of the arena last week. Masters lit up Dolph with a LOUD chop, so much for the ban. Dolph wins with the zig zag after fighting off the master lock in 2 minutes.
- Big Show def.. Straight Edge Society
WWE Superstar Big Show is on is way out to the arena to take on the Straight Edge Society, NEXT!! Tribute to the Troops still montage stirs up some USA chants. It's the Big Show! And It's a big pop. Highlights from last nights RAW with Punk n Show. Mercury is ringside with the Society. Punk and Show are starting it off, quickly changes to Gallows. Only an hour away from the live WWE NXT finale! Big Show delivers the 2nd chop of the night to Gallows. Match is being kept to the floor with the numbers game being used. Show went for a tackle on Punk and ate stairs. Show beats the ten count at 9, deja vu for the 3rd time tonight. Big Show makes Gallows tap in 8 minutes with a camel clutch variation. Mercury was taken out half way through after Show evened the odds. CM Punk with the GTS on Gallows post match in anger.
- MVP's VIP Lounge w/ The Swagger's
Swagger out to less heat than expected with his "dad" in a wheelchair. Remember that: Swagger Sr. sells injuries longer than Cena does. I feel like they have the same trophies out that Show destroyed during their feud...? Swagger is pissed at "WHAT?" chants. Recap of Kane wrecking Swagger Sr incase we don't remember why He's in a wheel chair. I hope MVP gets to boot him. Swagger might not get to push up in his entrance anymore, but he brought them to the Lounge tonight. Finally MVP is out for the interruption. MVP declares the VIP lounge and starts chucking trophies. Swagger uses his dad as a buffer, and Swagger Sr with a pay dirt and "BALLIN'!" Oddly enough, despite getting a pop for the elbow drop, crowd gave MVP some heat for laying out the old man. Swagger hightails it.
- Cody Rhodes def. Matt Hardy
WWE Star Matt Hardy is out for one on one action. WWE NXT in 30 minutes! Dashing WWE Star Cody Rhodes is trying to talk Matt into taking his grooming tips before their match. He calls Matt fatso. Oh snap. Matt has been doing a "hardy" amount of eating, eh? I have to say, Cody has an old school delivery that makes this crap not as awful. Matt is working over Cody's exposed knees. Still to come - Kane's major announcement and the WWE NXT live finale. The tide reverses and Cody plants Matt for the win in 5 minutes. Up next the WWE SmackDown "Main Event": Kane's Major Announcement!
Notes: More Legendary promo. They're covering the stage up, preparing for a Taker sighting perhaps?
- WWE SmackDown Main Event Promo: Kane's Major Announcement:
Kane's pyro wrecks us all, and he doesn't even bother to come out. He confirms his Night of Champions match with Taker via backstage promo. Kane fades out with maniacal laughter, druids bring a casket out while the arena is bathed in blue. Kane emerges from the casket. Still laughing. Is Kane the Hugo Strange to Undertaker's Batman. WWE NXT live finale starts in ten minutes! Yet Kane still is babbling about Taker... At least its better than more devil talk. The Undertaker gong is more epic when It's stopping nonsense. Here comes the dead man. As Taker jumps in the ring, the lights go out and Kane bolts. Casket ringside is closed now, Taker checks it. No dice, Kane went backstage. Kane has more words of wisdom from backstage, threatening Taker with destruction. More Kane pyro to end WWE Smackdown evily.
