Snooki Joins Wrestlemania 27 Matches

The match is official. At Wrestlemania 27, Snooki from "Jersey Shore" will team up with WWE diva legend, Trish Stratus, and current Raw superstar, John Morrison. They'll be taking on the team of Michelle McCool, Layla and Dolph Ziggler, per the request of Vickie Guerrero.

Of course this move was orchestrated by Vince McMahon and the WWE to bring another celebrity into view with WWE. Previously they've had Kim Kardashian as part of Wrestlemania as they look for other ways to draw in new and current fans to the event.

This Wrestlemania definitely packs a punch with star power as they've already got Undertaker and Triple H making their first appearances in the ring after months away. Not only that, they're facing each other. Additionally, Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock are going to be a part of the event to further bring fans to order the event on Pay-Per-View.

WWE notes on their preview of Snooki's tag match that she will join the likes of Cyndi Lauper, Mr. T, Pamela Anderson, Mike Tyson and Donald Trump, as one of the latest pop-culture icons to become part of the grandest stage of them all!

The Usos did some breakdancing robot style moves, as Punk got up and started to boogie to the music. Khali did some arm breakdancing stuff that didn't look so fluid. Henry had better moves and did some sort of throw up and throw it at the Uso's. Cole said "this is brutal, Khali dances when there's no music." After the dance-off, the Usos tried to attack Khali and Henry. Instead they both got slammed down to the mat. Khali went for a pinfall with Cole making fun of him.

Winners: Great Khali and Mark Henry win a dance-off against The Usos.

They showed the ominous promo video again with some unidentified dark figure walking, almost looking like Undertaker from the feet up. The promo ended with 2/21/11.

Cole talked about the funniest fild trip of the year. The new movie "The Chaperone" stars WWE superstar Triple H and Ariel Winters from ABC's "Modern Family." Triple H plays a character fresh out of prison who goes to see his ex and becomes a role model for his daughter while trying to avoid the bad guys. They showed the movie trailer which features HHH trying for his first comedic/dramatic acting role.

Eventually, David Otunga demanded that Barrett re-hire Cena next week (tonight) or else they'd kick Barrett out as their leader. Wade was shocked by the ultimatum, but seems to have no other choice. Will the WWE Universe see the re-hiring of John Cena on tonight's 3-hour show?

Not only is tonight the Slammy Awards show for Raw, but it will be the final episode of Raw before the 2010 TLC Pay-Per-View. Already scheduled for the event will be the WWE Title rematch when Randy Orton faces The Miz in a Tables Match. Last week, The Miz informed Orton of what the stipulation for their match would be, and even tried to smash him face first through a table. Orton turned the tables on Miz so to speak and attempted to slam him through it. Miz was quick to escape the ring, but soon saw his protege Alex Riley suffer the fate of being Powerbombed through the table. What will go down next between The Miz and Orton on Raw?

Catch tonight's special 3-hour episode of Raw starting at 8PM EST on USA!

Raw Preview 11/8/10

With Survivor Series 2010 PPV approaching rapidly, the superstars of WWE Raw will be looking to gain momentum. In particular, the WWE Champion Randy Orton will try to stay composed and controlled heading into the major title defense he has coming up. Orton has Nexus leader Wade Barrett in a rematch for the WWE Title. At Bragging Rights, Orton had the help of John Cena who interfered in the match, causing a disqualification to keep Orton champion. Now Orton will face Barrett with Cena as the special referee. Will the odds be too tough for Orton to overcome? How will Orton prepare himself on Raw tonight?

Also, with John Cena caught in a tough spot, he's got a lot of thinking to do regarding that match. Cena's been informed by Wade Barrett that if Barrett wins the WWE Title, Cena's released from his Nexus duties for good. However, Barrett also informed Cena if he should lose the title match, Cena will be fired on the spot. Randy Orton already confronted Cena about the fact he just might be seen as the biggest fraud in the WWE should he not decide the match fairly. In last week's tag team title match, Cena officiated and due to Orton getting away with an RKO, the match went against Barrett. Will the Nexus leader have more orders for Cena on tonight's Raw?

Natalya has been trying for months now to win her first title, the WWE Divas Championship. However, Team LayCool has managed to cheat their way into successful title defenses many times. Natalya won a huge match just last week to qualify for another shot at the title at Survivor Series. Still, it's unknown whether Layla or Michelle will be defending that title. How will Natalya prepare mentally for this title opportunity, which could be her last? Will LayCool appear on Raw again?

Check out Monday Night Raw tonight at 9PM EST on USA!

Survivor Series 2010 PPV Matches

With the arrival of Thanksgiving, it also means that the WWE's fall classic Pay-Per-View is here as well, Survivor Series! The 2010 edition of the PPV event will feature a variety of exciting matchups with titles on the line. As of this report, there's been just a few matches announced, but more are likely to be added as the PPV draws closer.

The 2010 Survivor Series PPV matches will be held at Miami, Florida's American Airlines Arena on Sunday November 21, 2010. Last year's main event saw John Cena defending the WWE Championship against DX's Shawn Michaels and Triple H. This year's main event will also feature Cena, however not as the champion. Instead he'll be special guest referee for the WWE Title match involving champion Randy Orton and challenger Wade Barrett.

Here's a look at the Survivor Series 2010 PPV Matches:

Wade Barrett vs. Randy Orton
WWE Championship

The Nexus leader Wade Barrett has been gunning for Orton's WWE Title for several Pay-Per-Views now. At the last PPV, he had Cena as his ringside assistant, whom he ordered to make sure he won the match. Cena did as ordered, by getting involved in the match to DQ Orton. With that move, Orton retained the title while Barrett won the match, and Cena wasn't fired.

However, now Cena will act as special guest referee at Survivor Series. Barrett has informed Cena that if he wins the WWE Title, Cena will be relieved of his Nexus obligations. However, should Barrett not win the title, Cena will be fired from the WWE on the spot. It puts a lot of weight on Cena's shoulders and seems to stack the odds against Randy Orton heavily. Will The Viper be able to hold onto the WWE Title, or will Cena's involvement finally help Barrett capture the gold?

---

Edge vs. Kane
World Championship

The Devil's Favorite Demon has continued to surge with power ever since burying his brother The Undertaker at Bragging Rights. With the burial and seeming demise of Taker, Smackdown needed a new #1 Contender to face Kane for the title. GM Teddy Long scheduled a Triple Threat contest between the three top competitiors: Rey Mysterio, Alberto Del Rio and Edge.

In the matchup, all three competitors seemed to have a close shot at winning the match. However, in the end it was Edge's spear on Alberto Del Rio (while carrying Mysterio) that proved victorious. Now as #1 Contender, Edge will have a tough task in trying to defeat the Big Red Monster. Kane will have Paul Bearer and the infamous urn at ringside. Can Edge, the Ultimate Opportunist, find a way to win?

---

Natalya vs. Michelle McCool or Layla
WWE Divas Championship

It's yet to be determined once again who exactly will defend the WWE Divas Championship. Michelle McCool and Layla have been co-champions for some time now. First it was Layla capturing a pinfall in a Triple Threat match with Michelle and then champion Beth Phoenix. Months later, Michelle fought Melina in a title unification match and won. As the Womens title was forever eliminated from contention, the divas championship has remained. Natalya has had two prior opportunities to win the prized possession but both time saw Layla or Michelle interfering to prevent Natalya's victory. Can Natalya weather the storm in Miami to finally win the Divas title, or will LayCool continue to reign?

The huge event goes down Sunday November 21st, 2010 starting at 8PM EST. Updated results will be provided here at WWE Characters the Blog, so make sure to check in and keep up with the winners as the PPV progresses!

Raw Results 11/01/10

RAW Results from Long Island, NY:

WWE Champion Randy Orton arrived out with his championship belt in hand. Lawler and Cole talked about how Orton defends the title against Wade Barrett with John Cena as special guest referee at Survivor Series 2010. Orton said there's not a man alive who could take the WWE Title from him. He said he'd accept it if there was, but what he can't accept it if there was a crooked referee, especially if it's John Cena.

Orton called John Cena out to the ring to confront him about Survivor Series and his referee job. Cena came to the ring moments later to talk to Orton. Cena told Orton that they've both been champion before and the title comes and goes. Cena talked about what could happen if Orton wins or loses. Cena said he isn't sure what he's going to do at Survivor Series. Orton told Cena if he screws him over at Survivor Series, he'll be the biggest phony in the WWE, and all that Hustle, Loyalty, Respect will be out the window.

Orton told Cena to get out of his ring, but Cena started to fire back, saying Nexus has everyone under their control right now. He said Barrett has the ability to compete but he can't win a title match straight up. That remark brought Barrett and his Nexus crew out from backstage, including Husky Harris and McGillicutty. Barrett said when push comes to shove at Survivor Series, Cena will raise his hand as new WWE Champion. Cena said in 3 weeks this is all over. Barrett reminded him that he might be fired. Cena told Barrett when it's all over, either way he's going to beat the hell out of Barrett.

Orton told Barrett he doesn't have to wait until Survivor Series to beat up Barrett, and called Wade to the ring one-on-one. Barrett started towards the ring, but the Raw GM sent an email to interrupt. The GM's email said tonight there will be a main event involving Wade Barrett and a partner of his choice against Orton and a partner of his choosing. John Cena will be the special guest referee for the match.

The Hart Dynasty vs. Heath Slater & Justin Gabriel

As things broke down in this match, DH Smith was beating up Heath Slater on the outside. Kidd knocked Gabriel out of the ring, and went for a flip over the top rope. Unfortunately though, Slater slid off Smith and shoved him into Gabriel, causing Kidd to land on Smith. Kidd tried to recover and got on the apron.

---

Vladimir Kozlov vs. Sheamus

Sheamus was introduced first and said last week's big upset victory by Santino was Sheamus beating himself, not Santino beating him. Sheamus called Santino out to compete again. Santino arrived out from backstage, saying due to Trick-or-Treating last night and all the candy he ate, he can't compete or he'll throw up in Sheamus' face. So instead, he called out a replacement: Vlad Kozlov. Kozlov got on the mic telling Sheamus "you talk funny, now I crush you."

Late in the match, Kozlov did his headbutt to the chest multiple times on Sheamus, then shoved him against the ropes. As Sheamus came back, Kozlov booted him down then went for a pinfall. Sheamus got a leg on the ropes to break it. Santino was yelling out instructions to Kozlov, but Sheamus hit him with a double axe handle then came back with the Brogh Kick to win it.

Winner: Sheamus wins via pinfall over Vladimir Kozlov.

Post-match, Sheamus chased Santino up the ramp as he was backing up. Santino tried to bribe him with candy, cash, credit card and even a check. Sheamus knocked them all away and kicked Santino down on the top of the stage. As Sheamus set up Santino in the Celtic Cross, John Morrison rushed out from backstage. He kicked Sheamus in the chest to get him to drop Santino, then kicked Sheamus in the head causing him to fall off the stage. Santino did his trumpet celebration up on the stage as Morrison looked at him.

Backstage, Orton was walking down the hall when R-Truth approached him. He told Orton that Cena seems to have his mind made up. Truth said Cena is going to look Orton in the eyes and count Barrett champion 1,2,3. Orton suggested that Truth be his partner tonight so they can see how Cena treats his friends. Orton said they'll probably find that Cena has no friends.

---

Mark Henry was talking on a cell phone backstage saying things haven't been the same since his tag partner Evan Bourne got hurt. He said he's not just his tag partner but his best friend. Pee Wee Herman was there on another cell phone next to him telling him a story. Henry asked Pee Wee for a big hug. Henry started bear hugging Pee Wee and squeezing the life out of him. Pee Wee then suggested a game of Diva Twister to cheer Henry up. Eve, The Bella Twins and Melina were all there to play. Pee Wee cut a promo about his current live show, and then former WWE Diva Lita came in as part of the segment. The divas asked Pee Wee and Lita to come give them a hand, so Lita bumped one of the divas with her hip knocking everyone over. Pee Wee and Lita left the scene with all the divas and Mark Henry laughing on the floor.

Justin Roberts introduced the star of his own Broadway Show, Pee Wee Herman. Pee Wee gave his secret word of the night "Ring" and told people to all scream whenever they hear it the rest of the night. As Pee Wee kept talking, The Miz's theme music came on and The Miz arrived to the ring with Alex Riley.

Miz told Pee Wee he was always a Masters of the Universe type guy. Pee Wee told Miz why don't you marry him then. Miz kept saying the word Ring so Pee Wee and everyone was screaming. Miz kept threatening Pee Wee, so he told Miz he was starting to anger him. Pee Wee said his cousin is there with him. Miz said to bring him out then. The Big Show's music started up, but then changed into Pee Wee's theme music. Show came out dressed like Pee Wee Herman. Riley tried to charge at Show but he grabbed him around the neck. Miz came to try to help, so Show grabbed him around the throat too and shoved both guys out over the top rope.

The Raw GM sent another email which Cole read. It said The Miz wasn't getting out of this so easy, and he'll be facing Pee Wee's cousin in the ring, The Big Pee Wee. Pee Wee and Big Show started dancing in the ring to Tequila.

---

Big Show vs. The Miz

Miz built some momentum towards the end of the match, but show regained control. With Miz in one corner, Show went to the opposite corner and prepared for a running hip slpash. Miz avoided him by moving away. Riley got up on the side apron with the MITB briefcase, and Show knocked him off. The briefcase landed in the ring, so Miz picked it up and hit Show in the gut with it. The ref quickly called for the bell, giving Big Show the victory by DQ.

They said they'd give Natalya another shot at the divas title at Survivor Series, but only if she can beat Michelle tonight. Natalya arrived out ready for the match.

Natalya vs. Michelle McCool

Michelle gained momentum after Natalya had an impressive start. With Natalya down on the mat, Michelle wrapped a legscissors around Natalya's gut. The ref finally had to break the hold when he saw Michelle holding the ropes for leverage. At one point, Natalya almost locked the Sharpshooter on Michelle, but she managed to crawl out of the ring. Choas ensued on the outside, as Natalya was able to grab Layla and catapult her into Michelle. As Michelle got back into the ring, Natalya scored a quick rollup on Michelle for the win.

Winner: Natalya wins via pinfall over Michelle McCool to earn a Divas Title shot at Survivor Series.

They showed an odd segment with Freddie Prinze Jr. as a doctor in a hospital room saying "How's my favorite patient doing today? Still in that coma." He added "poor guy's gonna miss the election," and then the camera revealed that the patient was Vince McMahon laying unconscious on the bed.

---

Raw returned with the Vince McMahon segment. The doctor said even though he doesn't get a lot of visitors, at least his wife visits. Freddie Prinze, Jr. said Linda is very composed considering she spent $50 million on the campaign. All of a sudden, Vince woke up and angrily asked "$50 million on what?!" Vince said he hates politics, but as long as everything is ok in the WWE he's fine. Freddie Prinze filled Vince in that Undertaker's been buried, John Cena's in Nexus and Goldust is getting married.

Vince said next he'll tell him that Daniel Bryan's the US Champion. Freddie gave Vince a look to confirm it. Vince then said he needed to go to the bathroom. As he got up, he said if his wife can run for US Senate, maybe he can run for President of the United States. As Vince left, his open bathrobe revealed a Richard Blumenthal banner covering his backside.

The scene cut to Stephanie McMahon sitting up in bed after turning on a light. She said "I just had the strangest dream," then asked someone who wasn't shown (HHH) if her dad's still in a coma. HHH said "yea pretty sure he's brain dead." Stephanie shut off the light.

John Cena arrived out wearing a referee shirt for the main event tag match.

Randy Orton & R-Truth vs. David Otunga and Wade Barrett

Orton stared down Cena several times over questionable calls. As he did though, Barrett was able to use the distraction to attack Orton from behind.

Barrett took control against Truth later in the match, beating down on him, then tagged in Otunga for more punishment. Otunga had a near fall with Truth kicking out. Moments later the two guys collided in the air with flying bodypress moves. Both men tried to crawl over to make tags. Orton got into the ring so Cena went over to get him out of there. As they were discussing it, Otunga made a tag to Barrett. Cena didn't see it, so he turned and told Barrett to get out of the ring. Meanwhile, Orton hit the RKO on Otunga behind Cena's back. Orton rushed over to beat up Barrett, causing him to roll to the outside. R-Truth collected a winning pin on David Otunga.

Outside the ring, Barrett yelled at Cena near the bottom of the ramp. Cena said he didn't see any tag made. Orton smirked near the crowd, then got back into the ring to stare at Barrett and John Cena on the ramp as Raw ended.

Winners: Randy Orton and R-Truth win via pinfall over David Otunga & Wade Barrett.

After Undertaker's Funeral, Kane gets #1 Contender

On Friday's edition of Smackdown, the Undertaker's funeral was to be held by the Big Red Monster Kane. However, as WWE fans know, most funerals and weddings don't go on uninterrupted. On this occasion, it was a surprise interruption; Alberto Del Rio arrived out in a fancy convertible, then demanded that he should be World Champion right now. From there, things broke down and after a brawl involving Del Rio, Kane, Rey Mysterio and Edge, Smackdown was chaotic.

The solution for all the chaos? General Manager Theodore Long set up a Triple Threat #1 Contenders Match between Edge, Mysterio and Del Rio. The winner would get Kane in a World Title match at Survivor Series 2010. The three stars didn't disappoint, but it was very hard to believe that Del Rio would win this one going in. Having a heel face Kane at Survivor Series just made no sense. The ultimate winner of the match ended up being Edge, the ultimate opportunist. His spear on Del Rio as Alberto had Rey on his shoulders was something we haven't really seen before, making for a great finish.

Of course the bad news is Edge now must face Kane, and it appears Edge is just a stalling tactic while Undertaker "rests in peace." Likely Undertaker is going to rise again, but the question is how much time will he have off? Is WWE going to really hold this story until next Wrestlemania? Or will Taker show us a sign at Survivor Series?

Also on Smackdown, another interesting situation developed. A second tag team this past week imploded after The Hart Dynasty. Cody Rhodes had just dubbed he and Drew McIntyre the "Dashing Ones," right after they told The Nexus tag champs to be prepared. In the Drew/Rhodes match, Big Show got the best of Rhodes in the end. Cody tried to wave Drew in to help him out, but Drew stayed out of harm's way on the apron. Later the two blew up at each other backstage as their individual egos proved too much to co-exist. Which guy will get the title push now though, as two heels hold the World title and Intercontinental title? Or maybe Drew and Cody will collide down the line?

We got the obligatory Halloween Costume contest from the divas which turned into a tag team brawl. Melina chose the unique "Spiderwoman" costume, while Kelly was Lil' Bo Peep, Rosa Mendes was a sexy leprechaun, The Bellas were Batman and Robin and Alicia Fox was Cleopatra. LayCool came out as Beyonce and Lady Gaga. All of the divas looked great, but it didn't make sense that Natalya wasn't part of the picture after being involved in several Divas Championship matches. Maybe she couldn't find a Halloween costume in time for the show?

Overall a decent outing for Smackdown on SyFy. People are saying that Smackdown is the best wrestling show on television right now. Agree or disagree?

Smackdown Results 10/01/10 - SyFy Debut

Smackdown Results from Oklahoma City, OK:

Friday Night Smackdown made its official debut on SyFy network tonight. Michael Cole was on camera to introduce Smackdown, just before IC Champ Dolph Ziggler came to the ring with Vickie Guerrero. MVP arrived out next for the Intercontinental Championship match to kickoff the first Smackdown on SyFy. Grisham sent it to the intro video for Smackdown which featured new theme music "Know Your Enemy" by Green Day.

MVP vs. Dolph Ziggler

With the match well underway, MVP took it to Ziggler and had a near fall. Moments later he was able to toss Ziggler over him to the outside of the ring. Down at the bottom of the ramp, The Nexus stormed down the ramp to attack Ziggler. Next they all surrounded the ring with MVP still inside. MVP yelled "who's first" preparing for battle. The Nexus was too much for him as Otunga, Tarver, Slater and Gabriel all gave him a beatdown. Wade Barrett wasn't present.

Winner: No contest due to Nexus interfering in the match.

Otunga hit his finisher on MVP, then Gabriel went next, climbing up the corner and hitting the 450 Splash. They four Nexus guys looked down at MVP on the mat, but just then Big Show decided to come out.

Show walked down the ramp staring at Nexus, then got on the apron. He was able to shove them away as they attacked. Unfortunately, Slater jumped on Show's back and they were able to drive him down to the mat for a beating. Nexus continued to pound away on Show, kicking him out under the bottom rope. Just then, John Cena's theme music hit. Cena rushed out and down the ramp. He got in the ring and atackled down one Nexus member, but soon the rest pounced on him. Before they knew it though, Big Show got back in the ring with a steel chair and bashed it on Slater's back. The Nexus soon escaped the ring, backing up the ramp.

Just then, Wade Barrett appeared on the big screen to address the fans and Cena. He reminded everyone if he wins at Hell in a Cell on Sunday, then John Cena must join Nexus. Barrett turned to Teddy Long who was staying next to him, saying tonight will be huge. Long looked uncomfortable. Wade said he knows the head of SyFy who has allowed him to create some matches. He turned to ask Long to announce the matches. Big Show will compete in a 5-on-1 handicap match against The Nexus, while John Cena will face World Champion Kane.

When Smackdown returned, Michael Cole had joined Matt Striker and Todd Grisham on commentary. Grisham said tonight CM Punk will face The Undertaker one-on-one as well, 48hrs before Hell in a Cell.

Layla went over to help Michelle and do a "Flawless" pose, but suddenly a hand reached out from under the ring to trip Layla and pull her under the ring. It was Hornswoggle who emerged to chase Layla around the ring. As they came around the ring, McCool was there to boot kick Horney down.

Meanwhile, back in the ring, Natalya got the Sharpshooter on Maryse winning the match by submission. Natalya, Kelly Kelly and Bella Twins all celebrated in the ring as LayCool backed up the ramp.

Winners: Natalya, Kelly Kelly & The Bella Twins win via submission over Maryse, Alicia Fox and Team LayCool.

A Homecoming ceremony was held for Jack Swagger since the show was in Oklahoma City. Swagger came out wearing a red king's cape, with an Eagle mascot accompanying him to the ring. Swagger said he's got a problem with Oklahoma since they haven't given him a key to the city. He said he and his personal mascot, the Swagger soaring Eagle have now moved out of Oklahoma. He said they moved somewhere classier, Texas. He told the crowd to repeat after him "God Bless Texas." He upset the crowd saying Texas will beat Oklahoma tomorrow. Swagger proclaimed himself official, undisputed king of Oklahoma, then put a special crown on. The Eagle started praising Swagger down on his knees. Swagger told all the Sooners to worship him. Just then, Edge's theme music hit, bringing the Rated-R Superstar out.

Edge said he's on a mission of epic proportions, to rid the WWE landscape of "anything that is stupid." Edge called the Soaring Eagle stupid, as well as Swagger's cape and crown. Edge said he was going to start his mission right now. He dropped the mic, but Swagger hid behind the Eagle mascot. After several moments, Edge punched the Eagle down. Swagger escaped out of the ring but was furious, yelling at Edge about the Eagle. With Swagger watching, Edge prepared from the corner and eventually hit the Spear to take the bird down.

Later tonight Cena vs Kane with Nexus as Lumberjacks. Backstage, Barrett spoke to his group saying they need to push the envelope to really make history tonight. He said it's known if anyone on Smackdown lays a finger on them tonight, they're suspended. He said later in Cena's match against Kane they can make something truly memorable on Smackdown. He huddled them up to talk strategy.

---

Smackdown returned with some Dashing Cody Rhodes Grooming Tips. Today's tips were about underarm perspiration and wet spots through shirts. He said there's a simple way to go from disgusting to dashing. He talked about using a clear shaving gel under a clean, smooth shaven underarm. He said apply the anti-perspirant with two simple motions: down and up.

Big Show vs. The Nexus
5-on-1 Handicap Match

Barrett lead his other four Nexus teammates to the ring for the match. The commentators reviewed Nexus' earlier attack on Ziggler, MVP, and Big Show setting up this match.

In this contest, all of the Nexus were allowed in the ring at once. They attacked Show in the corner, ganging up on him, but he kept shoving them away. Show managed to stay on his feet, but soon Nexus had him down on the mat to kick and punch away on him. Each of the Nexus members grabbed a limb to stretch out Show on the mat. Barrett wrapped his legs around Show's neck to choke him out. Eventually the ref called for the bell as Big Show passed out and couldn't continue. Nexus all admired their work, and then Justin Gabriel climbed to the top corner and hit the 450 Splash on Show. Moments later, Gabriel hit the 450 Splash again on Show before Nexus posed in the ring.

Winner: The Nexus wins due to submission of Big Show.

Todd Grisham said Rey Mysterio will return to Smackdown tonight after suffering an attack at the hands of Alberto Del Rio weeks ago.

---

They showed how Big Show was helped out of the ring and walked up the ramp on his own, holding his ribs following Nexus' attack.

Grisham and Striker brought up Hell in a Cell, as they introduced a video package to detail the Kane vs Undertaker feud. It included Kane talking of his brother's impending destruction at his hands, now that he holds all Taker's powers. However, just last week, Paul Bearer returned to ringside in a casket with the urn. The urn appeared to restore power to Taker. Undertaker and Kane will face off in a Hell in a Cell match at the PPV Sunday for the World Heavyweight Title.

CM Punk arrived out for the next match as Smackdown went to commercial.

---

The Undertaker vs. CM Punk

Paul Bearer with urn in hand lead Undertaker to the ring. Punk thought he had Taker down at one point, but Undertaker did his sit up and intense stare from days of old. Taker started smashing Punk from corner to corner, then splashed him in one corner. He hit Snake Eyes on Punk and then dropped him with a boot to the face. Punk barely escaped a pinfall after a legdrop. Taker set up for and hit the Chokeslam to slam Punk to the mat.

Winner: The Undertaker wins via pinfall over CM Punk.

A replay was shown of how Alberto Del Rio severely injured Rey Mysterio weeks ago. Tony Chimel introduced Ricardo Rodriguez to introduce Alberto Del Rio. Del Rio came driving out in another fancy car. They showed highlights of Del Rio's confrontation with Christian last week. Del Rio's ring announcer grabbed Christian's leg. Del Rio then injured Christian's arm just like he did to Mysterio, requiring surgery.

Del Rio was in the ring to talk to everyone. He talked about being one of the greatest of all time. Del Rio bragged about breaking Rey Mysterio's arm a few weeks away. Del Rio said he wants to apologize tonight and give Rey Mysterio a kiss on the cheek too. He introduced Rey Mysterio, but then his ring announcer came out carrying a chiuahua in hand wearing a small Mysterio mask. The dog even had a small arm bandage on. Del Rio held the dog up and said he was sorry to it as if it was Rey Mysterio. He kissed the dog on the cheek then handed it back to Rodriguez.

Del Rio said he was just kidding and Mysterio will be here tonight. Just then, Mysterio's music hit and he rushed to the ring. Mysterio slid under Del Rio's legs then attacked. He managed to kick Del Rio against the middle rope twice. He was all set for the 6-1-9 but Ricardo Rodriguez got into the ring and grabbed Rey by the leg.

With Alberto watching from the ramp, Rey was able to send Rodriguez into the ropes and hit the 619 as a message.

Randy Orton vs. Dashing Cody Rhodes

The Viper made a Smackdown appearance as a preparation match for Sunday's PPV. The commentators reviewed highlights from Raw where Sheamus was able to knock down Great Khali outside the ring using a Rogue kick. Drew McIntyre was ringside for tonight's matchup involving his tag partner Rhodes.

Rhodes escaped a DDT from the middle rope early on, but as he came off the ropes, Orton was quick to powerslam him down. McIntyre distracted Orton on the outside allowing Rhodes to smash The Viper into the ringpost. This gave Rhodes control back in the ring.

John Cena vs. Kane
Lumberjack Match

The Nexus served as the Lumberjacks for the matchup. Early on in the match, Cena was knocked to the outside and Nexus ganged up on h im immediately. They tossed him back into the ring for a smirking Kane to work on. Smackdown took a commercial break.

After commercials, Kane was still in control. Moments later, Cena staged a comeback, eventually knocking Kane down with shoulder tackles. He got the Five Knuckle Shuffle and prepared for the Attitude Adjustment. Kane managed to elbow out of it though. Cena ended up knocking Kane out of the ring with Nexus. They looked at him but decided not to attack. Instead they jumped onto the apron to go at Cena. Cena rushed over and knocked Gabriel off the apron, sending him out into Kane. Kane responded by punching Gabriel down. Barrett rushed over but got knocked down as well. Meanwhile, Cena fought off the three others ringside.

Cena managed back up the ramp getting out of harm's way, but suddenly Undertaker's bell tolled and the lights went out. When the lights returned, Kane was in the ring with Undertaker behind him. Undertaker took control and began to beat up Kane around the ring, spilling into the crowd. At one spot, Taker knocked Kane near the crowd and a fan fell down on the stairs while trying to get a picture. The fight continued and made it back to the ring where Kane booted down Taker. Paul Bearer was in the ring with the urn, and Taker sat right up. Kane grabbed Taker for a Chokeslam, but Undertaker responded to the urn as Bearer raised it up. Taker slapped a Chokeslam on Kane and then slammed him to the mat. Finally, Kane rolled out under the bottom rope to get out of there, with Taker ready to keep fighting. The show ended with a classic staredown before Undertaker knelt down on one knee for Paul Bearer to showcase the urn.

Winner: No contest due to Nexus interference.
