Smackdown Preview 05.21.10


On tonight's episode of Smackdown, the World's Largest Athlete will have his tune-up match for this coming Sunday's Over the Limit. His opponent is competing for the first time since attacking Matt Hardy viciously weeks ago. Drew McIntyre will battle Big Show prior to both wrestlers meeting their respective opponents in OTL title matches. Drew recently returned to Smackdown despite being suspended, stripped of the IC title and fired. After handing a note to Teddy Long, he was not only reinstated on the show but also given his IC belt back, right after Kofi Kingston had won it in a tournament. Meanwhile, Big Show has had his opponent's number for several weeks, getting under the skin of World Champ Jack Swagger. Last week Show smashed all of Swagger's prized trophies and possessions in the ring. Who will win tonight's match heading into OTL? Will Kofi Kingston or Swagger get involved?

Not only was the Intercontinental title belt exchanged between Superstars on Smackdown, but the Womens Championship has also changed to a new owner. Right now, the Womens title is under the possession of Layla. She won the title with a pinfall on Beth Phoenix, but in a 2-on-1 handicap match with Michelle McCool as her partner. Layla got the pinfall after Beth and Michelle knocked into each other and fell down. Recently, McCool was seen wearing a Womens title as well, because the duo had won the match handicap style. Will both divas be allowed to continue holding Womens Championships? Who will be the first to challenge for the title now that Layla is the new owner? Will they need to beat Team LayCool to win the title?

Finally, with Over the Limit approaching in about two nights, there will be several superstars looking to prepare on Smackdown. In addition to Big Show, Drew McIntyre, Swagger and Kofi Kingston, Rey Mysterio and CM Punk will also look to prepare. Just last week, CM Punk was once again aided by the mystery SES figure who helped attack Mysterio in the ring. At this Sunday's PPV, if Mysterio loses to Punk he will be required to join the StraightEdge Society. However, if Punk loses, it's bye bye to his locks of hair. How will these two Smackdown stars prepare for Sunday's PPV?
