* They plug the main event of World Heavyweight Champion Kane & Alberto Del Rio vs. Edge & Rey Mysterio.

* Jack Swagger b. Kaval when Kaval submitted in the ankle lock. After the match, Swagger says he was cheated last week by Kofi Kingston.

* Hornswoggle b. Jack Swagger's eagle mascot. The match saw Hornswoggle throw brad crumbs on the mat to distract the eagle. He landed a Tadpole Splash and got the pinfall victory.

* A segment is taped where Chavo Guerrero and a partner of his choosing challenge Santino Marella & Vladimir Kozlov for the WWE Tag Team Championship later tonight.

* Kofi Kingston b. WWE Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler via disqualification when Jack Swagger pulled Kofi out of the ring and locked him in the ankle lock.

* WWE Divas Champion Natalya w/Beth Phoenix b. Layla after making her tap in the Sharpshooter.

* World Heavyweight Champion Kane didn't come out for the main event so Teddy Long came out and made the match Alberto Del Rio vs. Rey Mysterio & Edge in a handicap match. Kane came out mid-way through the match and Edge met him at the ramp and they fought to the back. Kane is shown on the big screen chasing after Edge. Kane pushes a ladder off a cliff thinking it's another Paul Bearer dummy but it's actually Paul Bearer. Rey ended up beating Alberto Del Rio to end the show.

Chavo still jobbing to Hornswoggle.

Double Duty Chavo.

Love the segment about Kane killing Paul

The front page reported Kaval was injured in his match and had to be helped to the back.

Damn. Kaval is becoming injury prone.

Maybe he was standing next to the speaker when you threw a jar of pickles at it. :o

Chris Masters won?!?!?! :cool:

yep got to job to both hornswagle and santano, i thought val was back to help chavo in jobing.

According to the spoilers on the front page after the tag team match McIntyre hit Chavo with the Future Shock DDT.

Triple Duty Chavo

Beth Phoenix is obviously going to turn on Natalya.

Looks a good show. May watch.

Paul bearer has now died twice.lol

I'm going to watch this just to see Paul Bearer die. Again.

Damn you bigslimjj!

I wonder if Chavo will ask for his release next?

Dolph / Kofi stole the show, Swagger / Kaval was also pretty good. Didn't look like Kaval was really injured since it happened early in the match and he was still doing kicks and taking a lot of offense on his bad ankle.

Josh Matthews has also taken Grisham's job and is working as the play by play guy with Cole and Striker on colour. The combo is pretty great.

Chavo :'(

I love Josh Mathews, but I like Todd Grisham, so I hope the guy finds work elsewhere. He didn't even work Superstars -- Jack Korpela did that. I was wondering if that guy was still under contract.

The Swagger Soaring Eagle bit is just for the kids. Chavo earns a good paycheck doing it. I know that is the cliche way of defusing "Use Chavo right!" arguments, but marks don't know it's Chavo. It doesn't hurt him, and shows that there's some trust in the company in him to make that shit work.

Drew McIntyre turning on Chavo Guerrero after the match sounds...interesting. I hope it goes somewhere. Chavo has been ready for a face turn for a long time. He's even been getting respect pops lately. He prefers to work as a heel, but slap the Guerrero name on a few t-shirts, turn Chavo face, push him, and you've got some sales there, surely. Shaul Guerrero is also in developmental now, so Chavo's cousin may join him on TV in the near future. Chavo could also bump well for Drew McIntyre, and really put him over.

The WWE did exactly what I think they should have with Kofi Kingston/Dolph Ziggler. I could watch Swagger and Kingston wrestle each other every week. Seems like we might be heading towards a Triple Threat Match for TLC. I'd like to see Jacob Novak get involved and help out his WWE Pro there. The NXT guys would get so much more over if they were influential on RAW and SmackDown! while being understudies.

Swagger vs. Kaval is nothing to complain about, either.

Chris Masters beating Cody Rhodes in a Masterlock Challenge is great. Masters is turning into a really solid hand. I'm liking the cockiness of his NXT character. If he can introduce that to his fun-loving generic babyface on the blue show, then I think he will climb the ranks. MVP has left a spot for a face to step up, and that might just be Masters, who is still really young. Rhodes cannot compete with power to Masters, and this was a power contest. It helps Masters, but protects Rhodes. Next week, I think we'll see another match between the two, with Rhodes cheating to beat Masters. Put Byron Saxton on commentary for Masters' matches.

Natalya & Beth Phoenix vs. LayCool seems like a logical addition to TLC. Give the win to Natalya & Phoenix, with Phoenix pinning one of the heels, and build-up to Natalya vs. Phoenix and the destruction of LayCool. I can't think of a better Divas Title match at WrestleMania than Natalya vs. Phoenix vs. McCool vs. Layla.

The main event sounds interesting. Alberto Del Rio hanging in there with two top babyfaces? Credible heel, much? The ending sounds ridiculous, though.

The crowd actually popped when Drew hit Chavo with the DDT, also Chavo was being a proper dick to Santino in the backstage segment. It's not really the ideal start for a face turn but I also thought that's where this might be heading long term.

The whole Kane / Edge angle is just terrible, hopefully now theyve written out Bearer it won't be as painful to watch.

When someone gets killed in a wrestling storyline, it always seems really stupid to me. I know you have to suspend your disbelief a lot, but there is a fucking limit.

"omg, someone call the police! he murdered that guy!"

"oh no, don't worry about it, they're pro wrestlers. they'll settle it themselves"

Well, that's the other side of things. Drew is probably the longer term investment for the WWE, so to get him to appeal to fans might be beneficial. Chavo might be seen as "too old" to really be a solid mid-card face for the WWE. McIntyre has his best years ahead of him.

I'm just flowing with Chavo's recent character of seemingly playing to the crowd more, and his lines with Teddy a few weeks back "It should be me. You've seen me in the ring..."

In fact, when I was a little kid, and I was still under the impression that wrestling was real, I had my first doubts about it when Jake Roberts locked the warrior in that room with snakes.

Even my dumb, stupid, little kid brain said "wait, this isn't even legal. He could die."

The Edge/Kane "feud" has killed any excitement I had about SmackDown lately. TLC can't come soon enough, and hopefully they end the thing. There was no basis for the feud originally, they've done the same skits for like three weeks now, and you had the cartoonish ending to tonight's show with Edge going "lulz, I told you not to do that." Execution has just been poor throughout.

Todd called NXT with Josh.

Not so much shitting on the typo as it seems like "Brad Crumbs" should be a rib name they give to a developmental jobber they call up to SmackDown!.

And I enjoyed it, but I'm wondering if that is going to be a full-time thing, or if it was just selling the RKO to Cole on RAW.
