March 4th, 2011
The World Heavyweight Champion makes his way to the ring and he's set for action. Edge grabs a microphone and says he'll be out here later tonight for an official contract signing for his match for the World Heavyweight Championship against Alberto Del Rio at WrestleMania 27. Edge says he's looking forward to it because he wants to get face to face with Del Rio and have him look into his eyes. He wants Del Rio to see what it takes to be a champion and to main event WrestleMania. Edge also has a bone to pick with him because last week he was rudely interrupted. Edge was in the middle of a going away party for a woman we all love to hate, Vickie Guerrero. Edge got rid of her and she's gone.
Edge wants them to start singing like last week and he's just about to get it going when Drew McIntyre runs down. McIntyre punches away at the champion but Edge quickly outsmarts him and sends him over the top rope. Teddy Long's music hits and he thanks Drew on behalf of himself and the WWE Universe for losing the match to send Vickie out. Long says if McIntyre doesn't get in the ring and have a straight up match with Edge then he'll be fired, too. Edge says Teddy brought up a great point – thanks to him, Vickie Guerrero is gone. Edge starts a "Thank you Drew" chant.

McIntyre goes back to the arm bar but Edge again fights up and out of it. Edge goes into the ropes but McIntyre quickly hits him with a back elbow, sending him out of the ring again. McIntyre again follows him outside and runs into a back body drop!

Rey Mysterio's music hits but it's not him that runs out. Its "Dashing" Cody Rhodes wearing the mask that he ripped off Mysterio's head last week. Rhodes stomps on the mask and makes his way to the ring wearing his own mask, a plastic face guard.
Rhodes gets in the ring and screams at the crowd to not look at him. Rhodes says the feeling we have festering in our stomachs is disappointment because we're not seeing Mysterio tonight. Rhodes says he knows disappointment because he feels it everyday when he wakes up and sees what was once "dashing" reduced to this. His father, the lovable American Dream Dusty Rhodes, came to him and he convinced him to help set up Rey Mysterio so he could inflict what he only imagines is a fraction of the damage to Rey's face that he did to his. When he was rubbing his face in the steel grate and removed the mask from his head, it felt good. Nothing has felt good for him lately and he knew then that it was the right thing to do.
Rhodes says he isn't going to let a sideshow freak like Mysterio stop him from becoming World Heavyweight Champion. The next right thing to do, while his father is watching right now, is to challenge Rey Mysterio to a match at WrestleMania 27. If Mysterio accepts the challenge then he'll expose his face on the grandest stage of all. Rhodes walks off trying to avoid letting people look at him.
Kane is backstage when The Corre walks up to him. Wade Barrett reminds him that Kane's greatest victory came last year in a match they got involved in. Kane says he didn't need or want their help then and he doesn't want it now. Justin Gabriel says they just want him to beat Big Show tonight. Ezekiel Jackson tells him to think about it.

Hells Bells ring out and Johnny Cash sings "Ain't No Grave" as Undertaker makes his return to Smackdown. Undertaker says he finds it mystifying that the strongest of the strong and the greatest of the great don't know when to leave well enough alone. They have to realize that there are mountains that cannot be climbed and seas that cannot be sailed and streaks that cannot be broken. Undertaker heard Triple H's comments on Raw and to be perfectly honest there wasn't much he said that he couldn't agree with. They are the last of an era and a dying breed. Triple H is everything he says he is, if not more. In his opinion, he is probably the greatest World Heavyweight Champion in the last decade and a half. The thing that Triple H said that he found most interesting is that he has figured out how to destroy the Undertaker and make him disappear forever. It was quite simple – all you have to do is beat Undertaker at WrestleMania. Easier said than done.
Triple H has figured out in his mind how he's going to do this so he'll take everything he ever accomplished and he'll throw it all on the table and go for broke. If he wins then he will be hailed as The Game and The King of Kings. But if he loses, and he will lose, he will become nothing more than a statistic – a name on a long list of people who came before him trying to do the same thing. Undertaker warns him to make no mistake – he plays no games and he bows down to no man, especially The King of Kings. At WrestleMania, Triple H will find out what 18 other men found out before him – that he is indeed the last outlaw. Triple H will also find out what it means to Rest In Peace!
