Raw Rebound showed the backstage incidents involving Kane, Big Show, Ricardo Rodriguez and Alberto Del Rio. Show had been sitting on Del Rio's fancy sports car, when Rodriguez came up to yell at him. Show shoved Ricardo down, prompting Del Rio to come over screaming in Spanish at Show. Later on, Show and Kane lost the tag team titles to Otunga and McGillicutty of Nexus due to some cheap inteference from CM Punk and Mason Ryan.

Backstage, an angry Big Show and Kane were interviewed. Del Rio came into the scene and slapped Show, then took off running. The camera went out of focus and suddenly Del Rio's car was shown looking like it had driven over Show's leg. Rodriguez got out and ran off with Del Rio. Kane yelled for help for Big Show who writhed in pain holding his knee.

Smackdown commentators Jack Korpela and Matt Striker were now on the scene. They said Big Show sustained damage to his knee and internal injuries. He'll have several weeks of grueling rehab to get back to the ring.
