Smackdown Results 06/18/10

Smackdown results from NC State University:

The show opened with highlights from last Friday including Kane still on a mission to find out who destroyed his brother The Undertaker. Kane screamed "there will be vengeance" during his backstage speech at Taker's coffin. He attacked numerous wrestlers throughout the night including Jack Swagger, Rey Mysterio, Gallows and the Mystery man of SES, and finally The Big Show.

Tonight Mysterio & Big Show team up to face CM Punk & Jack Swagger in tag action. Also tonight, Drew McIntyre will go one-on-one with Teddy Long in the ring. If Teddy doesn't compete he gets fired. CM Punk arrived out to start off the show with a mic in hand.

Punk said he'll win his fourth major championship at Fatal 4Way. He said he's disappointed Undertaker won't be on hand to witness it. He then started to insult the crowd's intelligence and reminded them he's the only guy in history to make Undertaker tap out. He said if not for Taker's current vegetative state he'd make him tap out again. He said neither he nor any member of SES is responsible for Taker's state now. Punk admitted he's glad Taker's out of it, and wishes he could have seen it. He said he'll shake the hand of whoever did it.

Punk said the WWE landscape has been so much better without Taker. Just then the arena went dark. As the lights came back on, it appeared The Undertaker was in the ring. CM Punk backed away to the corner, then slowly went towards him. He gave Taker a few touches to make sure it was really him. All of a sudden, the guy ripped off a wig and black trench coat, and it was Luke Gallows all smiles. Punk laughed as they tricked the crowd, and he put on the Undertaker hat.

As Punk prepared to step on the hate, pyro went off and Kane made his way down the ramp. Suddenly, Jack Swagger rushed him from behind and knocked Kane down. Punk, Gallows, Swagger and the mystery SES guy all started beating on Kane at ringside. They took it into the ring, where Kane got a huge splash. The SES held him down so Swagger could do several of his running splash moves from the corner. Rey Mysterio and Big Show hit the ring to chase off the heels. Kane was recovering near the ropes, so Rey took the opportunity to hit a 619. It sent Kane stumbling back where Show chokeslammed him.

Rey backed out of the ring cautiously giving Show a look. Show got down in Kane's face and said "for the last time I had nothing to do with what happened to Undertaker, and nothing is going to stop me from becoming World Champion!"
