A Fatal proclamation

A Fatal proclamation

RALEIGH, North Carolina -- Just two days before WWE Fatal 4-Way (full coverage), the combatants of the World Heavyweight Championship Fatal 4-Way Match delivered some payback to Kane, a direct response to his brutal attacks in recent weeks. But, before the night's end, The Big Red Monster would rekindle his rampage and issue a horrifying proclamation about Sunday's pay-per-view.

In a tag team main event between the Fatal 4-Way participants, the athleticism of Rey Mysterio proved to be the difference. As Swagger was attempting to hit the Gutwrench Powerbomb on The Ultimate Underdog, Mysterio suddenly countered, crashing down upon "The All-American American" for the quick pin.

Although the victory gave Mysterio and Big Show momentum heading into Fatal 4-Way, the action did not end with the bell. Moments later, Kane reemerged, still determined to weed out the identity of The Undertaker's unknown attackers. After he chokeslammed Swagger and Punk to the canvas, Kane knocked Big Show from the ring apron and blasted Mysterio with a tombstone. Finally, Kane proclaimed that this Sunday, "it will be a fatal night for the guilty party." (Match preview)

Drew McIntyre def. Theodore Long; Teddy saved his job (PHOTOS | WATCH)
Given the ultimatum of facing Drew McIntyre or being fired -- per Mr. McMahon's directive -- SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long was forced by the Scottish Superstar to get down on his knees, proclaim McIntyre the "Chosen One," crawl to the middle of the squared circle and lay on his back to take the three-count.

As McIntyre prepared to attack Teddy after the match, Kofi Kingston charged to his rescue. But, with a special security team holding back the Intercontinental Champion, McIntyre was free to carry out a vicious assault on the defenseless Superstar. Matt Hardy then emerged from the crowd, only to suffer the same brutal fate. In a fatal act of aggression, McIntyre delivered the double-under-hook DDT to both Kofi and Hardy.
