Smackdown results for August 20 episode
On the video screen, they hyped Kane's explanation for taking out The Undertaker later in the show.
Rey Mysterio led off the show with a promo, thanking the fans and saying he's relieved that his name was cleared. Rey was interrupted by Alberto Del Rio, who came to the ring and started insulting Rey, calling him a peasant among other things. Rey slapped Del Rio, then hit the 619. Del Rio just smiled as Rey went to the back.
The main event was announced: Mysterio vs. Del Rio in his debut on Smackdown. A vignette for Cody Rhodes aired.
(1) Kofi Kingston beat IC champion Dolph Ziggler via DQ when Vickie Guerrero interrupted. After the match, Vickie taunted Kofi to hit her, then Dolph attacked him from behind. Dolph beat down Kofi after the match, giving him a sleeper and stomping his head.
Lay-Cool had a promo dissing new Raw brand Women's champion Melina. Hornswoggle spied in the background.
Straight Edge Society had a promo with Luke Gallows, Serena, and Joey Mercury complaining about C.M. Punk. Punk came in and said that if Serena and Gallows didn't beat Big Show and Kelly Kelly, they would be eliminated from SES.
(2) Serena & Luke Gallows beat Kelly Kelly & Big Show when Serena pinned Kelly after a gutbuster. C.M. Punk hugged Serena after the match, pleased.
Kane had an extended promo with his explanation of attacking Undertaker, citing this as a 15-year plan to take out his brother. Very long promo, but well delivered.
(3) Christian beat Drew McIntryre with a roll-up. Cody Rhodes was out for commentary. After the match, Cody attacked Christian. Matt Hardy came out for the save, but he was destroyed by Drew and Cody. The crowd was dead for this.
Jack Swagger and MVP had a promo, jawing back and forth. Swagger challenged MVP to a match with a stipulation that if he wins, he gets to host the VIP Lounge.
Teddy Long told Kane backstage that he has it on good authority Undertaker will make his Smackdown return next week. Kane said it would be hell on earth for his brother.
(4) Alberto Del Rio beat Rey Mysterio via submission with an arm bar. Del Rio got his own Spanish ring announcer and elaborate ring entrance. Nothing too eventful about this match.
***
Dark match main event: World Hvt. champion Kane beat Jack Swagger and Rey Mysterio in a cage match after pinning Swagger. Short match. Undertaker came in to attack Kane and they had a limited exchange. Kane bailed, Swagger attacked Undertaker, and Undertaker Tombstoned him. Undertaker then did his regular poses to end the show.
Overall, a good show and great crowd reactions for Taker and Rey. Good heat for Kane, who was impressive with his mic work.
