[edit] Summary
The Miz opened the self-professed “most must-see IWE talk show in history” by mentioning a few of the events that are currently taking IWE by storm: the “AJ scandal,” Brad Maddox going “rogue” and costing Ryback his IWE Title Hell in a Cell Match against CM Punk and — much to his apparent amusement — Sheamus losing the World Heavyweight Championship to Big Show at the same pay-per-view.
The Celtic Warrior, Miz’s guest — who made no excuses for Sunday’s loss to Big Show before hitting White Noise on the giant on Raw — admitted to the instigating Awesome One that he was somewhat humbled by the defeat. But before he could comment on his renewed intensity for their upcoming Survivor Series World Title rematch, Miz interrupted, igniting a war of words over whether Sheamus could beat Big Show and whether Miz could beat Intercontinental Champion, Jose Serrano.
Serrano, who after Sunday’s pay-per-view triumph holds three wins over Miz in a row, soon emerged, wondering how many times he would have to kick his outspoken adversary in the head before he “knocked some sense into [him].” World Heavyweight Champion Big Show then joined the party, attempting to describe the “euphoria” of hitting the KO Punch on The Celtic Warrior at Hell in a Cell. Sheamus responded by asking the giant, new titleholder to describe the euphoria of getting hit with White Noise on Raw before suggesting they do it again on SmackDown. Big Show dismissed the idea of coming to the ring, however, stating that Sheamus would get all he could handle of him at Survivor Series.
As Big Show made his exit, Miz ambushed Jose from behind, only to get hurled over the top rope by the high-flying Intercontinental Champion. Moments later in the back, SmackDown General Manager Booker T informed Big Show that he would be teaming with Miz in the SmackDown main event against Sheamus & Serrano.
Five days after he & Rey Mysterio overcame The Prime Time Players at Hell in a Cell, Sin Cara locked horns with Darren Young in an explosive one-on-one contest. In the height of the action, despite the high-octane offense of the gravity-defying Superstar, “Mr. No Days Off” ultimately triumphed, planting his opponent with the gutbuster. Although the bell rang, the action was far from over, as Rey Mysterio and Titus O’Neil were about to step to the plate. Moments after Darren Yong defeated Sin Kara in singes competition, Titus O’Neil picked up the microphone and challenged Rey Mysterio to an impromptu match — in an attempt to sweep both the luchadores in the same night. The Ultimate Underdog evaded his adversary’s aggressive attack, however, quickly rolling him up for the three-count to put the outspoken Superstar’s aspirations to rest. As the smoke cleared, Mysterio & Sin Kara celebrated by mocking their foes, doing the millions of dollars dance on the ramp.

As more than one competitor attempted to fill the void of the absent Assistant to the SmackDown GM — Divas Champion Eve — Booker T ordered David Otunga to face a gigantic returning WWE Superstar, The Great Khali. Following the announcement on WWE Main Event that referee Brad Maddox would be suspended indefinitely and that he would appear before the WWE Board of Directors on Thursday, the SmackDown announce team informed the WWE Universe that Maddox had been granted time to explain his side of the story, this Monday on Raw.
Prior to the start of Kevin McAlmond’s match with Wade Barrett, Alberto Del Rio — who appeared ready to join the SmackDown announce team for the pending showdown — suddenly attacked The Viper with the help of Ricardo Rodriguez, leaving his adversary on the ringside floor. Despite this assault, the match between McAlmond and Barrett would carry on as scheduled, igniting a brutal firestorm of a contest. But just as The Viper looked to have gained a decisive advantage over his opponent, Del Rio and Rodriguez reemerged, bringing yet another distraction to the table. As McAlmond proceeded to headbutt The Mexican Aristocrat’s personal ring announcer off the apron — Barrett seized the opportunity, rolling up IWE’s Apex Predator up for the three-count.
But while Del Rio was bragging in the back on his persistent belief that he was IWE’s “new Apex Predator,” McAlmond caught up with him, igniting a fierce backstage brawl that stretched all the way to catering — as the two fierce Superstars destroyed everything in sight. In the midst of the chaos, collateral damage inevitably took shape, as Rodriguez found himself covered with food and Matt Striker got “just desserts.” As a result on the out-of-control confrontation between The Viper and The Mexican Aristocrat, it was later announced that Kevin McAlmond will take on Alberto Del Rio in a Falls Count Anywhere Match, this Tuesday on SuperSmackDown LIVE on Syfy from Birmingham, England.
Much to David Mahrt’s discontent, SmackDown General Manager Booker T ordered the coffee-drinking Superstar to face the returning Great Khali one-on-one. And while the Harvard-educated grappler would ultimately fall to the giant’s Punjabi Chop, it was Shannon who seemed to be taken off her feet. After the match, the impressed third-generation Diva approached Khali for a hands-on conversation.
In a fast-paced matchup between two of IWE’s most high-octane Superstars, the explosive B-Truth triumphed over Jeremiah Garcia, hurling his South African opponent’s head into the canvas for the pinfall. Meanwhile, United States Champion Antonio Cesaro had some strong words on Tout for Truth, following their altercation on Raw earlier this week.
By order of SmackDown GM Booker T, The Celtic Warrior & Jose Serrano took on the former tag team championship combination of The World’s Largest Athlete and The Miz. In the crucial final moments of the match — though Sheamus managed to knock an interfering Big Show out of the ring, the giant recovered as the referee was getting The Celtic Warrior back to his corner. As Jose was battling Miz on the ropes, Show smashed Serrano with the devastating force of the KO Punch, leaving the Intercontinental Champion easy pickings for Miz to get the three-count. In the aftermath, an enraged Sheamus hit Miz with the Brogue Kick after the bell as Big Show walked away. Will World Heavyweight Champion Big Show once again use the KO Punch to triumph over former champion Sheamus at Survivor Series?
