Hope is still alive for Christian. Although his loss to Kane in a World Title
qualifying match hit him hard, SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long gave him
a second chance. Due to Mark Henry’s interference in the qualifying bout with
Kane, Long ordered up a tag team battle. If Christian’s team won, he’d earn a
World Title opportunity.
Fighting tooth-and-nail, Christian and Mark Henry took on The Big Red Monster and World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton. Sacrificing himself, Christian took an RKO from Orton. But before The Viper could capitalize, he instantly found himself in Henry’s waiting clutches and the victim of The World’s Strongest Slam.

Jinder Mahal vs.
Yoshi Tatsu ended in a No Contest (WATCH | PHOTOS)
Jinder Mahal continued to display his dominance by viciously attacking Yoshi
Tatsu before the bell even sounded. After dispatching of Tatsu with a full nelson, suplex slam, The Great
Khali tossed him from the ring. Following the destruction, Mahal informed the
WWE Universe that they should continue to expect more of the same from him.
And, they should expect no more dancing or kissing from Khali, as his only
mission will be to serve.
Heath Slater &
Justin Gabriel def. Jimmy Uso & Jey Uso (WATCH | PHOTOS)
Jimmy Uso looked well on his way to leading his team to victory when he dropped
Heath Slater to the canvas with a devastating kick to the head. With Slater
laid out, Uso took to the air from the top rope. But just before impact, Slater
raised his knees in a well-timed counter maneuver. He quickly capitalized, rolling Uso up in a
small package for the win.
Intercontinental
Champion Ezekiel Jackson def. Wade Barrett (WATCH | PHOTOS)
Still seething after losing the Intercontinental Championship to Ezekiel
Jackson at Capitol Punishment (PHOTOS), Wade Barrett invoked his rematch clause. And before their title match evan began, Barrett attacked Jackson from
behind on the entrance ramp. Although Barrett got off to a good start, his
night ended the same way it did at Capitol Punishment – submitting to Jackson's
painful backbreaker.

(WATCH). Afterward, Big Show was taken to a medical facility for evaluation.
Cody Rhodes def.
Daniel Bryan (WATCH | PHOTOS)
Before the match began, Cody Rhodes insulted the WWE Universe and his opponent (WATCH). During the bout, Daniel Bryan held is own, until Rhodes blasted him with a knee to the head, catching him in the ropes. After the ref helped Bryan untangle himself and get to his feet,
Bryan was met with a boot to the face from Rhodes. The back-to-back blows were
too much for Bryan to handle, who was put away with the Cross Rhodes.
Sin Cara def. Ted
DiBiase (WATCH | PHOTOS)
With his big match looming against Evan Bourne on Raw (full coverage), Sin Cara
took on Ted DiBiase. In a display of amazing athleticism, Sin Cara rapidly spun
his entire body around DiBiase, driving him to the canvas for an impressive
win.
