SmackDown!: 4/11/10
Kofi Kingston, Jack Swagger, Shelton Benjamin, and Kane all continue their momentum-building ways as they look forward to next week’s Money in the Bank ladder match. Kofi vows lightning will strike twice.
Other proceedings: Cash Inc. defeat Jason Cross and Alex Furious after Rhyno gores Cross. Apparently he didn’t take kindly to Cross calling him a loser.
Mr. Kennedy, CM Punk, and Cash Stevens defeat Christian, Shawn Michaels, and Ian Moore when Kennedy sneaks a pinfall on Christian.
The Shane Brothers, Todd and Michael, continue their feud with the Revelations, Syn and Genesis.
Chris Sylvain and Jason Collins have a heart-to-heart about their rematch. Sylvain actually wants to take his time in naming a time and place and isn’t in any major rush. Collins points out that the draft lottery is scheduled in 4 weeks and that neither man may be on SmackDown!. Collins suggests that Sylvain gets while the getting is good. Sylvain asks if Collins is in that big of a hurry to be humiliated. Collins may brag that he is one of the lucky two to actually score a win over Sylvain but no one can claim to have done it twice. Just ask Ian Moore how successful his second attempt was in trying to overcome the great Chris Sylvain. Collins had better be sleeping with the title, taking pictures with it, and kissing it every chance he gets because when they clash again, it’s coming back to Chris Sylvain. Collins wonders if Sylvain is so confident that he’s willing to put it to the test right now. Sylvain drops the mic and backs off. *BAM* Collins gets booted in the groin. Amplifier to Jason Collins! Sylvain stands over the champion as we go off the air.
Raw: 4/14/10
Edge is to be punished for his actions last week and will have to choose a partner to face John Morrison and HHH tonight.
Batista is out to complain about HHH’s status as number one contender. If anyone should be facing John Morrison, it should be him. WrestleMania was a simple case of HHH pulling a miracle out of his ass which has been the story of his entire career. Mark Henry comes out, evidently not happy about being assaulted in last week’s rampage by Batista. Henry makes it clear that he’s aware that what Batista did wasn’t personal; he just doesn’t care. He’s not on the list of people Batista can just bowl over. Batista warns Henry not to let things get out of hand here. He’s willing to forgive Henry for interrupting him if he just turns around and leaves. Henry says that Batista isn’t the alpha monster on Raw and he’s certainly not the boss. They brawl for awhile and here comes an assload of security and agents.
Other proceedings: We learn that at Backlash it will be Ted DiBiase defending his U.S. Title in a triple threat match against R-Truth and Evan Bourne. R-Truth picks up a roll-up pinfall on DiBiase.
Raw GM Steve Austin berates Batista for his actions. Batista dares him to do something about it so Austin makes Henry vs. Batista at Backlash.
The Miz confronts HHH about his long career and the fact that HHH has worn out his welcome on Raw. Heck, he’s worn out his welcome in the entire wrestling industry. He should go and make some more babies before his quads are put on the endangered species list. HHH defends himself by saying he’s earned everything he has. The Miz says he can become champion also if he had a sledgehammer and got a bajillion chances, too. HHH says that if he was champion, he’d be happy to give a shot to The Miz if only for the tremendous satisfaction of getting rid of something he thinks has worn out its welcome: the Miz’s mouth.
Edge interrupts an argument between AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels. Daniels storms off angry with Styles but Edge says to just let him go. Edge says Styles has just volunteered to be his partner for tonight. It’d be great for Styles because he can start earning some respect and it would be nice to be paired up with a winner. Styles agrees.
Kim Roderick brags about she doesn’t have to worry about Victoria anymore. Austin comes out to correct this claim and points out the stipulations of last week’s match: Victoria had to pin or make Kim Roderick submit to earn a title match. Roderick says that Victoria failed to do that so that’s the end of it. Austin points out, however, that the stipulation worked both ways. Roderick also had to pin or make Victoria submit in order to permanently ban Victoria from getting a title opportunity. Therefore Victoria will receive a Diva’s title match at Backlash if her team can beat Roderick’s team tonight. Victoria and Natalya therefore team up to face Kim Roderick and Charlotte and get the win when Victoria pins Charlotte.
HHH asks John Morrison how he’s feeling after last week. Between Henry and Batista, there’s no way the champion is 100%. Morrison says he’s good to go but he really wanted to get his hands on Batista tonight. HHH says Batista is just butt-hurt and to worry about tonight because Edge and Styles are two desperate individuals. Morrison gets in HHH’s face and asks if he’s so worried about him, why did he pick Mark Henry to demolish him last week. HHH says that was then, this is now. Besides, you can’t expect free passes when you’re the champ. Morrison thinks HHH might be a bit worried about losing at Backlash if he’s going through all this trouble.
JBL manages to defeat Bryan Danielson again in a rematch Danielson requested. Danielson still claims that it’s not over between them.
Christopher Daniels and Pete Shapiro pick up singles victories and vow to win Money in the Bank on SmackDown!.
Main Event: HHH and John Morrison defeat AJ Styles and Edge. Randy Orton chases off Edge allowing Morrison to hit Starship Pain. HHH tags himself in however and pins Styles himself. We close with Morrison and HHH in each other’s face.
The draft lottery is in three weeks!
Backlash card so far:
WWE Cruiserweight Title: Don Maiden vs. Kevin Daniels

Batista vs. Mark Henry
WWE U.S. Title: Ted DiBiase vs. Evan Bourne vs. R-Truth

Not a whole lot. Christopher Daniels turns face on AJ Styles, JBL cuts a promo on Bryan Danielson and vows to show him how much of a god he really is by winning Money in the Bank tomorrow night, and both Evan Bourne and Randy Orton build momentum towards Backlash with singles wins.
SmackDown!: 4/18/10
Kane wins the Money in the Bank rematch. Events during the match include AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels damn near killing each other, Bryan Danielson coming from the crowd to assault JBL, Shad doing his damndest to make sure Kofi Kingston doesn’t win, and Kane chokeslamming Jack Swagger off a ladder and through a table. Jason Collins watches on.
Other proceedings: Chris Sylvain declares that no matter who wins Money in the Bank, they’d be a fool to cash it in whenever he’s champion.
Ian Moore retained the Intercontinental Title against Cash Stevens.
Garrett and Rhyno beat down Alex Furious in the back.
Sean O’Haire gets a win over Jason Cross. Cross is able to fight off an attempted beat down.
MVP welcomes CM Punk to the VIP Lounge. MVP wants to know what everything one else is wondering: where does CM Punk go after such a devastating loss to Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania? Punk takes offense and points out that he has two wins over HBK which is two more than MVP has. In fact, a lot of what CM Punk does is newsworthy. Can MVP claim that? MVP answers that maybe not but says that Punk better get back to climbing the mountain because when someone falls off, someone else is right there ready to claim that spot.
