Wish SmackDown! had gone like this:
* Drew McIntyre & Eric Escobar defeat Matt Hardy & R-Truth to continue their feuds, and build momentum for Bragging Rights. The other members of Team SmackDown!, who have already proved themselves in the past, get the rest of the night off.
* Mike Knox defeats John Morrison in a non-title match when The Miz costs Morrison the match. The Miz gets an early advantage over Johnny Nitro, and Mike Knox can use this to get himself a future title shot.
* Batista & Rey Mysterio defeat The Hart Dynasty when Batista hits a Batista Bomb on Tyson Kidd while Rey springboards in with his seated senton with the double-team win to continue their "lovers" angle.
* Normally SmackDown! is about five matches long, but if you need a sixth match, have Theodore Long force Big Show to perform, wearing him down for Bragging Rights. Big Show can work a Gauntlet Match segment, or something, where he goes through Kung Fu Naki, Jimmy Wang Yang, Slam Master J, and finally finds himself with Finlay. Jericho can distract Show, which allows Finlay to use the shillelagh to pin Show, and give the technical victory to Finlay, Slam Master J, Jimmy Wang Yang & Kung Fu Naki.
* Michelle McCool, Beth Phoenix & Natalya get some practice as a team defeating the ordered team of Mickie James, Maria & Layla. McCool's relationship with Layla comes into effect, and Layla turns her back on her team, and allows Beth Phoenix to get the pin.
* The Undertaker beats CM Punk with the Hell's Gate to retain the World Heavyweight Title when Punk taps instantly to save his ass for the "real" World Title match.
