Smackdown Results from Charlotte, NC:

Josh Matthews opened up the show on commentary. After noting the aftershock of Wrestlemania would be tonight's theme, Alberto Del Rio's music hit. Del Rio arrived out with Ricardo Rodriguez and Brodus Clay. Del Rio was on foot, arriving out without a car. Booker and Matthews were shown on camera, then Michael Cole cut in and they showed his Cole Mine covered in caution tape.

Del Rio and his crew got in the ring. He talked about how his destiny was delayed at Wrestlemania, and how Christian/Edge destroyed his car. Del Rio started to talk about what he'd do to Edge about all this, but was interrupted by the Rated-R Superstar's music. Edge came riding out on the back of a Brisco Brother's flatbed tow truck with Del Rio's Rolls Royce being hauled out.

With a mic in hand, Edge addressed Del Rio and the fans. Edge said he reassessed things after hearing Del Rio said the Rolls Royce was like his child. Edge said it might be damaged but it's nothing some tender, love and care might fix. Edge pulled out a spray can and sprayed some yellow paint on the hood. Del Rio was furious and demanded a rematch.

Edge said some guys are ahead of him. The tow truck horn beeped several times and Christian got out of the driver's door. Edge said if Del Rio wants a fight though, he's got one for him. Edge started to go down the ramp, until GM Teddy Long's music interrupted. He came out and said if they're going to settle this, they'll do it in a match. Tonight Alberto Del Rio goes one on one with Christian. The winner faces Edge for the World Championship at WWE Extreme Rules, in Edge's speciality, a Ladder Match.

The Rock came out and said he respects Cena, but that doesn't mean he likes him. Rock said they're opposites for the most part, but both want to do whatever they do the absolute best, and better than the rest. Cena ended up saying the people don't want to see them talk, they want a match. He suggested a one-on-one, with The Rock saying they'd do it at Wrestlemania 28 next year. After they shook hands, The Corre attacked. Cena and Rock each did several moves on Wade Barrett and Heath Slater to try to show who was better, but Michael Cole called it "a draw."

Edge and Christian were backstage in the locker room. Edge said he hopes Christian wins, because it's a match they revolutionized. He said he wants to face him in the match at Extreme Rules and hopes Edge will be ok with things after the event. Edge wished him good luck tonight then walked off. Christian got up and crouched down, looking at the championship belt Edge left behind, contemplating. Edge walked back in chuckling and grabbed the belt to leave, also smirking.

Smackdown returned with Cole laughing in the ring about it. He asked "Who shot JR?" and then said "I did! hahaha" Cole introduced the man who trained him for his big Wrestlemania 27 match. Jack Swagger arrived to the ring and had a mic also. Swagger talked about all the doubters who thought he could train Cole for the main event at WM27. Swagger said it was easy because of Cole's intelligence, athletic ability made it easy.
Swagger said in just one night Cole became the new "Mr. Wrestlemania." Swagger demanded the crowd applaud Cole in the ring. Cole said they also know there's nobody backstage who can beat Swagger in a fair fight. They did their victory lap around the ring. All of a sudden, they were interrupted by Sin Cara's music and he arrived out on the ramp looking around.

Sin Cara started jumping up and down on the ramp, pointing to the crowd, then pointed to the ring. He got a running start then leapt over the top rope as pyro went off near the top of the stage. Swagger stared down Sin Cara then shoved him against the ropes. Sin Cara came back, ducked Swagger's clothesline and hit several moves. Swagger rolled out of the ring and stood up on the outside, so Sin Cara hurled himself out over the top rope with a twisting high crossbody. He backed up, still pointing at Swagger down on the mat, as he went up the ramp.

During the match, Cole asked the hard-hitting questions of Edge such as why he destroyed Del Rio's car. Edge told Cole maybe he should try to make a citizen's arrest.

Late in this match, Christian was in control as he went to the outside apron. Brodus Clay came over to distract him from ringside. Edge left the commentary position and hit a Spear to take down Clay.

Edge was disappointed his pal lost the match. He got in the ring with Christian and stared at Del Rio as he backed up the ramp to close Smackdown.
