One week after viciously assaulting Rey Mysterio, Alberto Del Rio threw himself a lavish celebration to honor his nefarious actions. Christian soon interrupted the festivities, mocking SmackDown’s newest Superstar. Just when it looked as if they would come to blows, the aristocratic Superstar told Captain Charisma that he would pay at a different time and place. As Del Rio made his exit, Drew McIntyre attacked Christian from behind, allowing Del Rio to pour champagne all over his face.

Just minutes after being blindsided by McIntyre, Christian elected to shake off the effects of the onslaught and commence his scheduled match against the ruthless “Chosen One.” And at the conclusion of their extremely brutal battle, Captain Charisma triumphed, lifting his adversary off his feet, before flipping him over for the quick three-count.

With “Dashing” Cody Rhodes watching the action as part of the announce team, Christian got the pinfall over Drew McIntyre. Afterward, Rhodes and McIntyre launched an ugly assault on the veteran. After repeatedly stomping on him in the ring, Matt Hardy came to the rescue. Although Hardy held his own – dishing out some punishment of his own – he too ended up on the receiving end of a beating from the aggressive duo. When the dust settled, the two young Superstars stood tall over the fallen veterans.

Two weeks ago, Drew McIntyre carried out a vicious assault on Christian, injuring his shoulder in the process. This week, after Cody Rhodes hit Captain Charisma with a thumb to the eye, the “Dashing” Superstar further injured his opponent’s shoulder by hurling him into the ring post. Rhodes then closed the door on Christian with the Cross Rhodes.

Despite a brutal offense from Drew McIntyre – combined with Christian battling an injured shoulder – it was the veteran who claimed victory by locking up the Scotsman with an inside cradle small package.

Battered and bruised, four of SmackDown’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match combatants regrouped to lock horns in tag team action. But, when things spun out of control, Matt Hardy accidently connected with his partner, Christian. As Captain Charisma fell out of the ring, the confusion allowed Drew McIntyre to hit a devastating boot to the face on Hardy for the win.

In a knock-down, drag-out match that mixed absolute brutality with an all-out aerial onslaught, Drew McIntyre reigned supreme over Christian. After delivering a vicious thumb to the eye without the official’s knowledge, the “sinister Scotsman” executed the Future Shock DDT for his second huge win since sorting out his immigration problems.

After Christian stunned the WWE Universe by throwing Matt Hardy over the top rope and out onto the hard floor – payback for Hardy attacking him on “The Peep Show” last week – Hawkins & Archer quickly capitalized on the opponents’ tag team disintegration. As Captain Charisma made his premature departure, Archer slammed Hardy to the canvas, setting Hawkins up for the “Heat-Seeking Elbow” and the victory.

After Matt Hardy and Christian agreed they shared a similar path in WWE, they couldn’t agree on who had a better chance at winning the upcoming Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Putting an end to the discussion, Hardy hit Christian in the face then sent him crashing into a ladder on the set of “The Peep Show.”

Young Superstars Dolph Ziggler, Curt Hawkins and Vance Archer displayed an effective and hungry effort. But in the end, it was the veteran Christian who shined when he countered the Zig Zag and stopped Ziggler cold with the Killswitch.

With the ink still fresh on their new, full-time SmackDown contracts, Curt Hawkins and Vance Archer faced Christian and MVP – the two Superstars they recently attacked to help make a name for themselves. After Hawkins overcame Captain Charisma with a devastating elbow drop off the top rope to capture the important victory, he and Archer carried-out a post-match attack on an injured Franchise Playa.
