Superstars & Smackdown

Commentators:  Josh Mathews, Scott Stanford, & Matt Striker

Ted DiBiase Jr. vs. J.T.G.:  DiBiase returned from injury in the Night Of Champions pre-show battle royal...haven't seen much of J.T.G. lately.  Ted throws caution to the winds early as he hits a suicide dive...don't see that too often out of him.  J.T.G. controls the action for several minutes but gets dropkicked coming off the second rope.  J.T.G. nearly wins with a quick rollup, but DiBiase kicks out and maneuvers him into the Dream Street(Million Dollar Dream into a slam) for the win.

Drew McIntyre vs. Jinder Mahal:  So who's the face in THIS matchup?  Drew is still recovering from a recent wrist injury, as the commentators note.  YAY WRESTLING~! to start but it quickly devolves into fisticuffs...Mahal yanks Drew off the second rope by the bad arm to take control.  The fans chant "USA" for a match between a Scotsman and an Indian, yup.  Jinder stays on the wrist, to his credit...but McIntyre has a good arm and puts it to good use.  Mahal takes another shot at the arm but Drew cuts him off with IT"S THE BIG FOOT...Future Shock hits and Drew wins!  Drew wins!  Drew wins!  Is this the start of a face turn?  We shall see...

Tyson Kidd vs. David Otunga:  Kidd's gotten a few wins lately but can't seem to keep his momentum, sorry to say.  Kidd does a good job of outmaneuvering Otunga, but he gets slugged off the apron at a key moment.  Kidd manages a late rally but runs into the Verdict(spinebuster) and that's enough for the three-count.

Jimmy & Jey Uso vs. The Prime Time Players:  The Usos look good early but Darren Young catches Jimmy with a neckbreaker over the top rope, then Titus O'Neil mows him down with a big clothesline outside the ring.  Jimmy finally backdrops Titus and makes the hot tag to Jey...time for the big rally!  Young takes the Umaga Smash but O'Neil makes the save.  Jimmy and Titus take it outside and Jimmy gets run into the ring apron...Jey hits the Samoan Drop and goes to the top rope but Titus is there to stop him.  Young swats Jey off the ropes, then Titus tags in for the Demolition Decapitation and the win.  Millions of dollars...millions of dollars...

Commentators:  Josh Mathews & Michael Cole.

The show started with a surprise appearance by Edge...why not?  This leads to Tag Team Champions Daniel Bryan & Kane making an appearance; Edge reminds Kane of their past and Kane decides to resolve their past issues...with a hug.  HA!  Bryan almost joins the hug, but Damien Sandow interrupts and talks himself into a match...

Damien Sandow d. Tag Team Champion Kane(w/ Daniel Bryan); Sandow took advantage of an argument between the champs to kick Kane from behind, then hit the Union Jack neckbreaker for the surprise win.

Layla El d. Natalya Neidhart with the Layout(Rude Awakening); Women's Champion Eve Torres did commentary for the match.

World Champion Sheamus O'Shaunessy & Randy Orton d. Alberto Del Rio & Dolph Ziggler(w/ Ricardo Rodriguez & Vickie Guerrero) when Sheamus pinned Ziggler after the Brogue Kick.

Cody Rhodes d. Tag Team Champion Daniel Bryan; Bryan was ready to put Rhodes in the No Lock but Kane distracted Bryan with his pyro, giving Cody the opening to hit the Crossrhodes.

Brodus Clay(w/ Funkadactyls) d. Heath Slater by DQ when Drew McIntyre & Jinder Mahal attacked Clay(they patched things up quickly).  Drew and Jinder double-suplexed him, then Drew hit the Future Shock and Mahal locked him in the camel clutch.

Santino Marella d. U.S. Champion Antonio Cesaro(w/ Aksana Raudoniene)(non-title); Aksana was accidentally bumped into the ring after trying to distract Santino, leading to the ref being occupied with her while Cesaro had the pin after a pop-up European uppercut.  The distraction allowed Santion to get the flash rollup pin...and Cesaro dumped Aksana after the match(in five languages!).

Tag Team Champions Kane & Daniel Bryan d. Damien Sandow & Cody Rhodes by DQ(non-title); Kane chokeslammed Sandow but Rhodes hit Kane with a chair for the disqualification.  Jimmy & Jey Uso, The Prime Time Players, and Tyson Kidd & Justin Gabriel were all at ringside to scout the new champs.  Bryan took the chair away from Cody and then gave it to Kane...he got his own chair and they dished out a massive beatdown on not only Sandow & Rhodes but the other tag teams in the ringside area!
