Teddy Long was in the ring to start. He claimed the future of the World Title would be determined tonight. Christian interrupted and claimed he will fill the void. He promoted his "One More Match" campaign and claimed to be the leader of Smackdown. C.M. Punk interrupted and Long noted he arranged for Raw stars to be part of Super Smackdown tonight. Punk and Christian went back-and-forth, including a bit that went over well live where Punk shouted "bitching" every time Christian tried to raise the mic to his mouth to complain. After some more arguing, Long booked a singles match between them in the main event.
(1) The Miz & R-Truth beat WWE tag champs Air Boom (Kofi Kingston & Evan Bourne) in a non-title match at 5:43. Truth scored the pin on Kofi following their double team finisher.
Afterward, Miz and Truth cut a promo that they will take out Cena unless the one man who hates him more than they do, The Rock, does it first. Basic planting seeds of dissension before Survivor Series.
After a DVD plug for Bret vs. Shawn, WWE cut backstage to the locker room where a group of mid-carders were assembled. Justin Gabriel noted to Daniel Bryan that he (Bryan) was trained by Shawn Michaels. Tyson Kidd interrupted and argued with Bryan over who was better - Shawn or Bret. Santino decided they should settle it in the ring tonight. Kidd said that "clown" has a good idea and the match was set.
(2) Wade Barrett beat Trent Barreta at 2:30. Trent kept it close for a few innings, but Barrett easily finished him off with Wasteland.
(3) Randy Orton beat U.S. champion Dolph Ziggler (w/Vickie Guerrero) at 12:28 in a non-title match. No pre-match "Excuse Me" from Vickie, with focus on Ziggler. Before the match started, IC champ Cody Rhodes came out for commentary, so perhaps WWE sets up something with Rhodes and Booker T. After a teased RKO and a teased Zig-Zag, Orton hit the RKO for the win. Rhodes simply stood up and threw down his headset before leaving. Orton and Rhodes stated each other down, indicating the feud is continuing. Very strong TV match with good heat.
Backstage, Striker brought in an unmasked fake Sin Cara. He was dressed like a member of Mexican America. Hunico cut a promo about being disrespected by Sin Cara and closed in Spanish.
(4) Daniel Bryan beat Tyson Kidd via submission at 2:44. Yes, less than three minutes for "Bret vs. Shawn." The finish was Bryan turning the Sharpshooter into the LeBell Lock for the tap out.
Michael Cole stood up at the announce table and re-did the Michael Cole Challenge complete with JR photoshopped pics from Raw. He announced Ross has accepted the challenge for Raw, with rules to be revealed on Monday.
Big Show, in a suit, was out next to address the World Title situation. Show put over the fight Mark Henry brought to him at Vengeance and noted Long has assured him of a title re-match in the near future. Cue up Henry for the interruption. Henry said he handled his business at the PPV, so he's done with Show. Henry talked more trash and Show told him to come fight. After Show ripped off his jacket, Henry teased the ring, but backed out when he sold a back injury, which drew boos. A stare down to conclude the bit.
(5) C.M. Punk beat Christian at 10:50. Lots of shenanigans here. Del Rio and Ricardo interrupted halfway through when Punk had Christian set up for the G2S. After Del Rio interfered, Sheamus came out to distract Christian. That led to Punk hitting the G2S for the win. Punk did a victory lap and apparently that was it for Smackdown despite no resolution to the World Title situation advertised by Long.
