1. Natalya Niedhart def. AJ Lee-DQ.

2. Brodus Clay def. Hunico.

3. Titus O'Neil & Darren Young def. Jey & Jimmy Uso when O'Neil pinned Jimmy.

4. Non-title: Alberto Del Rio def. Big Show due to interference from Cody Rhodes.

5. Ryback def. Danny Laren.

6. Big Show, Randy Orton, & Sheamus def. Daniel Bryan, Cody Rhodes, & Mark Henry when Orton pinned Henry.

We open with Daniel Bryan, who is confident that he'll regain the World title from Sheamus at Extreme Rules. The 2 of 3 falls format, he claims, is an advantage for him. AJ Lee is out, pleading with Bryan again to take her back, but Bryan rejects her again.......

1. AJ Lee vs. Natalya Niedhart.

Lee was distraught and near tears when we went to break, and is still fighting the tears as Natalya comes out Nat is concerned, understandably, but AJ snaps and goes off on her. The ref can't control her, so he calls for the bell. Winner: Natalya via DQ.

No announcement was made, so we must assume it was a DQ until we learn otherwise.

Damien Sandow speaks on ignorance. Meh, whatever.

2. Brodus Clay (w/Hornswoggle, Naomi, & Cameron) vs. Hunico (w/Camacho).

El squashola. Clay called 'Swoggle his "little brother", and, sure enough, Hornswoggle was dressed exactly like Clay in a red two piece sweat suit. Comedy squash. Hunico shoved 'Swoggled down, and Clay went to town. Battering ram to the chest. Clay clears out Camacho. T-bone suplex, which Clay calls the Sheplex. Big Splash. Adios, muchacho! Winner: Brodus Clay.

Darren Young & Titus O'Neil, newly signed to Smackdown, have a few laughs at Teddy Long's expense. John Laurinaitis claimed Long didn't sign them when he had the chance, and puts a Beefeater hat on Long. The humiliation has to stop sometime, and preferably soon.

3. Titus O'Neil & Darren Young vs. Jey & Jimmy Uso.

Young's courting of Tamina has ended, so she doesn't show up. Return match from a recent NXT: Redemption. Decent match, but a sloppy finish. O'Neil low bridged Jey out of the ring, and that left Jimmy all alone for Young to execute a sloppy middle rope Doomsday Device. Winners: Titus O'Neil & Darren Young.

4. Non-title: Big Show vs. Alberto Del Rio (w/Ricardo Rodriguez).

The feud between these two from last year was referenced briefly. Show was on offense until Del Rio went low with a chop block. No matter how much heat he put on the IC champ, Del Rio couldn't put him away. Show rallied, but Cody Rhodes came out and hit the Beautiful Disaster while Ricardo Rodriguez distracted the ref, and Del Rio picks up the scraps. Cody will pay for this one. Winner: Alberto Del Rio.

Brock Lesnar interview from Monday is replayed.

Earlier, Randy Orton was interviewed. He wanted to remind Kane that at Extreme Rules, he'll show the Big Red Monster how sick & twisted he can be......

5. Ryback vs. Danny Laren.

Squash #2. Heath Slater & Drew McIntyre are shown backstage, and it appears there may be an angle there somewhere, especially when Slater had his wallet out. Ryback puts this one to bed very quickly with the inverted Samoan drop. Winner: Ryback.

Long now has the full Beefeater uniform. William Regal tries to tease, but has some sympathy. Aksana returns with a new flame, Antonio Cesaro, just called up from FCW. Laurinaitis greets them, and rubs it into Teddy again.

6. Great Khali, Randy Orton, & Sheamus vs. Daniel Bryan, Cody Rhodes, & Mark Henry.

Khali is ambushed by Rhodes before the Punjabi Playboy can even reach the apron. That cowardly act will cost Cody, but the injury angle was telegraphed as Khali appeared to be favoring his right leg as he came down. Big Show returned, looking for payback, and was admitted into the match as Khali's replacement. Typical six-man match. Bryan didn't want to be in on even terms with Sheamus, and Rhodes likewise with Show. The finish was the restitution the audience was hoping for. Show KO'd Rhodes on the floor. Sheamus hits the Brogue Kick on Henry, then tags in Orton. Show hit the KO punch on Henry, who walks right into the RKO. BANG! Winners: Big Show, Randy Orton, & Sheamus.
