Stepping Over the Limit

Stepping Over the Limit

OTTAWA, Canada -- With WWE preparing to go Over the Limit this Sunday, Big Show continued to make life difficult for World Heavyweight Champion Jack Swagger. After Big Show caused him to lose a match with Kofi Kingston, the No. 1 contender to the World Title repelled "The All-American American's" steel chair attack later in the main event with his gigantic fist of fury.

Seconds after Big Show chokeslammed Drew McIntyre, Jack Swagger attacked The World's Largest Athlete, giving Big Show a non-title victory over the "Chosen One" by disqualification. Swagger then delivered a post-match onslaught, stomping on his gigantic adversary's powerful right hand. But, when he tried to utilize a steel chair against his Over the Limit challenger, Big Show punched it out of his hands with epic force.

Two days before he will face Rey Mysterio at Over the Limit, CM Punk inducted three members of the WWE Universe into The Straight Edge Society. Following the pledge, the new inductees had their heads shaved to show their devotion in actions as well as words.

Mysterio then emerged, putting a quick end to the festivities when he revealed a doctored photo of The Straight Edge "savior" with his head shaved bald. The Straight Edge Society took out their frustration by attacking their new members and knocking them from the ring. (PHOTOS | WATCH)

Later, Mysterio teamed with MVP to take on The Second City Saint and his "sin-free soldier" Luke Gallows. As The Master of the 619 attempted to dial up his favorite maneuver on Punk, the hooded stranger -- who had attacked Mysterio on three separate occasions -- once again emerged out of nowhere. This time, The Ultimate Underdog proved ready for the surprise. After attacking the anonymous assailant with absolute fury and ramming him into the steel ring post, Mysterio used his supreme athletic ability to counter Punk and pick up the quick pin.

Will Mysterio's mock image of Punk's bald head become reality this Sunday? Or will The Masked Superstar be forced to take the Straight Edge Pledge?  (Match preview)

Christian opted to reject Official Consultant to SmackDown Vickie Guerrero's "generous" offer to be the guest on his first "Peep Show" since he returned to Friday nights several weeks again. Instead, Captain Charisma welcomed special guest Hornswoggle and proceeded to teach him some important Canadian terminology. But when Vickie and Chavo Guerrero entered the arena, their distraction allowed Dolph Ziggler to attack Christian from behind and execute the Zig Zag. Chavo then followed it up with the frog splash off the top rope.

In the extremely explosive match, "The All-American American" was overcome by Kofi Kingston, who surprised him with a flying cross-body off the top rope after Big Show provided an effective verbal distraction.

Despite a very effective offense by Kelly Kelly & Tiffany, Team Lay-Cool ultimately triumphed after Michelle turned the tables on Tiffany with an earth-shattering Faithbreaker out of nowhere.
