Dark Match: Alberto Del Rio b. JTG via armbar submission.
SmackDown (Airing Friday):
* The show opens with Vickie Guerrero in the ring. She introduced the new Intercontinental champion and her boyfriend, Dolph Ziggler. They talked about going on vacation to Tahiti to celebrate his first singles title victory, but Kofi Kingston hits the ring and starts beating down Dolph. The referees came out to break it up, followed by Teddy Long, who said for Vickie and Dolph to cancel their travel plans, because it’s going to be Dolph vs. Kofi at SummerSlam for the IC Title.
* He also announced that the SmackDown main event would be Dolph vs. Rey Mysterio. Vickie became upset and said if Dolph had to wrestle tonight, so should Kofi, so she booked Kofi vs Kane. Teddy started saying she was only the consultant, and she had no power, but Kofi cut him off and said he wasn’t a coward like Dolph and would face Kane…right now.
* World Heavyweight Champion Kane b. Kofi Kingston in a non-title match with a chokeslam and then a tombstone piledriver. After the match, Kane cut a promo about how Rey Mysterio was desperate and that’s why he (Rey) took out The Undertaker. Rey came out to cut Kane off and said Kane had the most to gain by attacking Taker.
* “Dashing” Cody Rhodes b. Christian with the Cross Rhodes.
* Big Show b. three local wrestlers in a Handicap match after chokeslamming 2 of the guys and delivering the Knockout punch to the other. CM Punk and the Straight-Edge Society watched from the stage. After the match, Luke Gallows started to cut a promo, but Punk took the mic from him and asked, “Who gave you a mic?” Punk then cut a promo hyping the match between SES and Show for SummerSlam on Sunday.
* Drew McIntyre b. Matt Hardy with the Future Shock DDT. Hardy had to be helped to the back afterward due to McIntyre slamming his ankle against the steel steps earlier in the match.
* A vignette aired on Alberto Del Rio saying we will see his debut next week.
* Jack Swagger came out next and talked about all his recent problems. MVP cuts him off saying at this time last year, he was beating Swagger at SummerSlam. Swagger attacked MVP and threw him to the outside. Swagger eventually rolled MVP back in the ring and the bell rang to begin the match.
* MVP b. Jack Swagger with a roll-up. Swagger was dominant during most of the match.
* Rey Mysterio b. Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler in a non-title match with a roll-up. About halfway through the match, Rey had Dolph set up for the 619, but Kane’s pyro went off and he came out with a casket and watched the remainder of the match at ringside. Immediately after the match, Kane hopped on the apron, but Rey fought him off, and eventually knocked him into the casket. Kane quickly got out and bolted up the ramp to end the show.
