Recap of Big Show vs Jack Swagger, and Kane kidnapping Swagger. Swagger has to have an alibi this week for where he was when Undertaker was attacked.
1. Kofi Kingston fought Cody Rhodes to an apparent no-contest. The match ended in an apparent no-contest as Kane interefered and chokeslammed both men. Kane promised a bloodbath tonight and blames Swagger. The Rhodes mirror effect is pretty cool live.
Rey Mysterio was interviewed. He said he cannot compete and will forfeit the title. Got a lot of cheers surprisingly. Then he said he is kidding and the ankle brace will give him the support he needs. Really bad promo.
Swagger was then seen on the phone. He asked where the person on the other end of the line was and found out the person was stuck in traffic. Cue the standard joke about no traffic in kentucky.
2. Drew McIntyre defeated Christian. This was star making match. Not that it was great, but it was good. It was long, and McIntyre won without Vince McMahon, and did not cheat. He hit his finisher after some good back and forth.
CM Punk enter the ring while they showed a replay of him cashing in the MITB. Punk was cutting his usual promo when Big Show interrupted. Big Show and Punk had a hilarious exchange, where Punk asked Show if he could do a 450 splash off a ladder. Show asked if he meant like Evan Bourne, and Punk said he was referring to his 450 pound ass falling off a ladder. Show said that hurt. After Punk asked Show to entertain him, he cut a promo about big guys on ladders. He tried to climb a ladder, when the ladder broke.
Show had the guys bring out their own ladder. It was the biggest, thickest goddamned ladder I have ever seen. While demonstrating, Punk's minions jumped Show and appeared to have the better. Punk then climbed the ladder. Show then reemerged, and took out Gallows and Mercury. Show then climbed the ladder and put Punk in a sleeper. He unmasked Punk. I am not sure how this will come off on TV, but the fans ate this up. I went to the bathroom right after, and everyone kept talking about how it is possible to be so big and so funny. It was a good segment.
3. Kelly Kelly and Chris Masters beat Layla and Trent Barretta. Rosa Mendez was skipping rope down the aisle, which caught the attention of both Dudebusters. Layla started yelling at all three and Kelly hit the pseudo rocker dropper for the win
4. Dolph Ziggler beat Matt Hardy. Pre-match, Hardy cut a promo saying he is as comfortable on the top of a ladder as he is on the floor. Apparently he is not so comfortable when Vickie Guerrrero is around, as her distraction lead to the Zig Zag.
A limo arrived with Papa Swagger
Jack and his father came to the ring together. Swagger said he could prove he was innocent of the attack on Undertaker. He had some hilarious pictures all dated 5/31 showing both Swagger's working out, running a 5k, fishing, winning a wing eating contest.
Kane interrupted. Swagger hit Kane with the mic, but Papa Swagger became a victim of a chokeslam while Swagger escaped. Jack considered reentering, and Kane picked up Papa Swagger for a tombstone. Swagger left the ring. Kane posed and left the ring.
Finally the stretcher I saw backstage was used, as Papa Swagger was stretchered out, while the crew brought in a cage for the dark match.
Dark Match
1. Rey Mysterio beat Jack Swagger with a frog splash in a cage match. Not a long match, but was pretty good. Rey was wearing a cast, and it factored into his movement, and he used it to tell the story of being limited. He hit a frog splash from the top rope but used the cage for leverage.
