Smackdown starts with the Miz who is sitting in the ring. He says Kofi Kingston was lucky to get away with his Intercontinental title but he says he is officially invoking his rematch clause for the Intercontinental championship at the PPV. He tells Kofi Kingston to enjoy his short reign as he plans to win the Intercontinental title back. He then introduces the tag team champions, Kane and Daniel Bryan, and they make their way to the ring. He says true tag teams do not have separate entrances. Daniel Bryan tells Miz that if he wants to talk about separate, how about he separates his teeth from his mouth. The Miz says a goat faced guy should not be talking to him about appearances and that the guys at the petting zoo probably think he’s hilarious. Miz says Daniel Bryan has often had problems with other people and now he has a problem with his new partner Kane. He thinks they will lose because of him. Kane steps in and tells Miz that no one cares what he thinks. He says he has won the tag team titles with many different types of wrestlers and if Daniel Bryan is the problem in this team then he is the solution. Daniel Bryan says he is not the problem. He says that, in fact, he is the reason that he and Kane will win at the PPV because Kane is nothing without him, the world’s toughest vegan. Miz asks if he can say something but Kane and Bryan tell him no. Daniel Bryan and Kane argue, both saying they are the tag team champions. Bryan says that he is a former heavyweight champion who beat the Big Show in 45 seconds.
Big Show’s music hits and he goes down to the ring. He tells Kane he has no problem with him but he has a problem with Daniel Bryan. He tells Bryan that his win was a fluke and that he never wants to hear him mentioning his lucky win over him again. He says after he wins his match with Sheamus he will not lose the title like that again. He tells Bryan that if he says it again he will beat him down but then decides why wait, he might as well beat him down right now [make your mind up then]. Daniel Bryan steps behind Kane and Kane tells Big Show he knows they have a match scheduled for Raw but why wait.
Ziggler’s music hits and he makes his way down to the ring with Vickie Guerrero. He says talking about the Daniel Bryan title win is so last year. What matters is this year’s Money in the Bank holder and that is him. He says he can take the title off Sheamus or Big Show and mentions that if Daniel Bryan can beat Big Show then how hard can it be? Daniel Bryan protests and is about to remind Dolph how quickly he won the World Heavyweight title from the Big Show when Big Show dares him to mention it again.
Booker T’s music hits and he shows up on the ramp. He tells them all to chill out. Before he can sort the mess out, Miz interrupts and says he knows that Booker is probably going to make a main event with all the guys in the ring, it’s so predictable and he doesn’t want to waste time listening to it. He says thank you Sucka and tells him to go away. Booker says that was not his plan. He says he has got 2 matches in mind. He announces that Big Show and Ziggler will team together to fight Kane and Daniel Bryan. The Miz says that is one match, what about the other? Booker says Miz will fight this man, then leaves the stage. Randy Orton’s music hits to a loud reaction and he makes his way to the ring.
