The show for Friday was about creating Team Smackdown for Bragging Rights:
The big story at the Smackdown taping, like Raw was setting up the team for Bragging Rights. Big Show is the captain, of course. Here is who else is on it and how they go there.
Rey Mysterio got in by beating Dashing Cody Rhodes.
Kaval wanted to be on Team Smackdown. Big Show told him he could get on the team if he could last 5:00 with him.
Jack Swagger b MVP with the ankle lock to be the third member
Alberto Del Rio b Chris Masters to be the fourth member
Edge b Dolph Ziggler to be the fifth member
Kaval lasted 5:00 with Big Show. He was about to lose but time ran out. Kaval became the sixth member
Tyler Reks b Kaval clean to take his spot
Kofi Kingston b Drew McIntyre to become the final member
Show ended with Kane & Paul Bearer doing an interview. They were running down Undertaker building up the Buried Alive match. Undertaker then came out and attacked Kane while Bearer ran off. Kane ran off and did Kane’s pyro had gesture and now Undertaker can do Kane’s pyro. Lightning started coming from the arena roof trying to shoot down Kane & Bearer.
There is also an NXT angle where Goldust has agreed to marry Aksana so she doesn’t get deported that will likely bleed over onto Raw next week.
