-Smackdown
-Teddy Long comes out then the open to Smackdown happens. They recapped the show- Henry match. Long says the status of the title will be addressed tonight. Christian interrupts and lobbies for a title match saying he’s dominated the brand for five months. Teddy responds with logic: he got his head kicked off by sheamus so no more playa.
-Then CM Punk interrupts but Christian lobbies for one more match . Punk hilariously rips Christian for bitching. Has to be seen to know how funny this bit is. Long states that some of the Raw stars will be here for a super Smackdown since Raw had been having Smackdown stars.
–Punk runs down Johnny ace and he and Christian have a good back and forth. Punk is over huge here. Punk
Challenges Christian to a match and Long makes the match. It’s Punk vs Christian later.

Big Show comes out to a big pop to cut a promo. “Oops I did it again” he says about the superplex spot. He puts Henry over as a tough guy and brought a good fight. Wants Henry in a rematch . Henry comes out at this point. No rematch for Big Show according to Henry . He’s done with Big Show. They get ready to fight and Henry backs off to heat.
8. CM Punk vs Christian: Huge Punk chants especially with kids. As Punk has Christian for the Go To Sleep, Alberto Del Rio and Ricardo Rodriguez come to ringside. Punk goes for GTS but is distracted by Ricardo . He then goes for the elbow and crotched by Del Rio while Ricardo distracts the ref. But Sheamus distracts Christian and Punk hits the GTS for the win in 10:50.
I think we go dark at this point.
-41 man battle royal w sin cara regal and Orton who mocks sheamus’s pose while walking down the ramp right in front of sheamus.
Dolph throws sin cara out. Orton throws out a couple then Miz throws him out. Final two Miz and sheamus. But Christian was hiding and the real final two are him and sheamus. Sheamus wins in 9:00. Christian wants “one more match.”
– John cena vs Alberto del rio
Cena gets reaction of the night w boos and cheers. “Let’s go cena/ cena sucks” chants abound. Del rio gets a masters degree from the zbyszko school of stalling. Del rio with a promo mid-match. The match goes 5:45 . He runs Houston down stating we have no class. He won’t put the title on the line but calls mark Henry to the ring to fight cena. They double team cena until big show…. Runs to the ring. Teddy makes it a tag.
Big show-John cena vs Alberto del rio-mark Henry: dueling chants again. Heat on cena and hot tag to show. Cena with the attitude adjustment on Alberto and show chokeslams Henry for the double pin in 8:38.
And that’s it from Houston.
