• Rey Mysterio defeated Jack Swagger (c)

• Layla (c) defeated Tiffany (w/ Kelly Kelly)

• Christian defeated Dolph Ziggler (w/ Vickie Guerrero)

• Big Show defeated CM Punk (via disqualification)

Notes: Rey Mysterio started off Smackdown by speaking of his win last week in the battle royale. He expressed how sorry he was about The Undertaker’s situation, but that he would be taking advantage by winning the World Heavyweight champion. Jack Swagger came out to interrupt Rey and accusing him of only being capable of being in the fatal four way because of The Undertaker’s absence.  Swagger had said that while Rey was relaxing in Tijuana, he was learning the art of wrestling. He was destined to become World Heavyweight Champion.  Rey responded that what Swagger had said was stupid and continued to make fun of his speech impediment by imitating Sylvester the cat. “Sufferin’ succotash!” CM Punk came out along with the Straight Edge Society. He compared himself to Malcolm X and JFK  and called the attack on John Cena and himself as an assassination. Rey pushed the fact that Punk has lost to him many times and even has a shaved head. Punk denied having a shaved head as he hid under his mask. The Big Show to to talk about bald being beautiful…*sigh* boring. Kane appeared on the titan tron to complain about The Undertakers absence. This segment started off ok, but it went down hill fast.

Rey Mysterio defeated Jack Swagger (c)

Rey Mysterio got a clean win over Jack Swagger as he was able to get three 619’s in a row and pinned him with a full three count. Really?! Isn’t Swagger the World Heavyweight Champion. Why does he keep losing to Rey?

The WWE airs most of the NXT Rookie invasion video package. I really do think that it would serve them better to air a better edited version of the package. However, I do enjoy watching Bryan Danielson yelling at John Cena. “You are not better than me!!!”

Christian defeated Dolph Ziggler (w/ Vickie Guerrero)

Christian was about to get the kill switch engage, but Ziggler counters with the sleeper hold. Christian breaks free. Ziggler pushes him into the corner and tries to roll him up. Christian rolls up Ziggler and wins the match. Kurt Hawkings and Vance Archer attacks Christian from behind and then allowing Ziggler to come from behind and apply the sleeper hold. This was a pretty entertaining match. Ziggler received support from his girlfriend, Vickie Guerrero. She hollered at the ref through out the match at ringside. After the match, she ran up to Ziggler to give him a big hug.

Drew McIntyre called Teddy Long to the ring to address some of grievances. He complained about Matt Hardy showing up to Monday Night Raw. So, McIntyre announced that Hardy was banned from Raw, as well. Kofi Kingston interrupted McIntyre’s list of complaints to address some of his own. Kingston said that he was the opposite of McIntyre in that he earns his Intercontinental title like a man. Ooooo! Kofi punches McIntyre with mic in hand.

Big Show defeated CM Punk (via disqualification)

CM Punk had difficulty trying to get the Big Show down. All he could do in the beginning was to kick at Show’s legs. The match then became heated between the two. Kane interrupted the match to deal out some punishment to both Big show and Punk. Smackdown ends with Kane standing in the middle of the ring with mean face.

Rumor has it that Cena will be feuding with Wade Barrett just in time for Summerslam. According to PWMania, Barrett and Cena will be facing off for the WWE Championship.

I think that it is interesting that Batista is on the cover of Smackdown vs. Raw. It seems that the WWE still wants him in the company even after he has left.

I would like to send my condolences along to the family, friends and fans of Maury “Rocket Monroe” High.

RIP Rocket Monroe
