World Heavyweight Champion Jack Swagger, The S.E.S., Big Show and Rey Mysterio attacked Kane

After Luke Gallows emerged from the darkness dressed as The Undertaker to help CM Punk play a joke on the WWE Universe, an enraged Kane arrived to seek retribution. Before he could reach the ring, however, he was ambushed by The Straight Edge Society and World Heavyweight Champion Jack Swagger. Big Show and Rey Mysterio soon chased The Big Red Monster’s assailants out of the ring, only to hit Kane with an earth-shattering 619-chokeslam combination.

Rey Mysterio & Big Show def. World Heavyweight Champion Jack Swagger & CM Punk

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.”

Colt Cabana updated his twitter account yesterday with a photo of himself and CM Punk. His caption read:

Great day to be a cubs fan!

Fatal 4-Way confrontation

At the start of the night, Rey Mysterio, Jack Swagger, CM Punk and Big Show confronted each other in the ring about their impending World Title Match at Fatal 4-Way. Ultimately Kane got the last word, when he appeared on the arena screen vowing vengeance for his brother, The Undertaker. He went on to back up his words as the night progressed.

Big Show def. CM Punk by Disqualification

In their first one-on-one encounter ever, Big Show and CM Punk were eager to prove their mettle before they collide for the World Title at Fatal 4-Way. It didn’t take long to see that The World’s Largest Athlete was clearly the more dominate force. But when he attempted to rip the mask off CM Punk, Luke Gallows and the mysterious hooded S.E.S. stranger attacked him, resulting in an immediate disqualification win for Big Show. Punk and Serena followed up with a few cheap shots of their own. As the S.E.S. continued its assault on Big Show, Kane entered the arena to put an exclamation point on his night of carnage by chokeslamming the hooded stranger, Gallows and the 500-pound Big Show! Only Punk and Serena escaped his wrath.

The WWE Universe chose CM Punk, to face WWE Champion John Cena in tonight’s main event. Although Cena was gaining the upper hand against the masked leader of the Straight Edge Society, the match was cut short when last season’s NXT Rookies – led by season one winner Wade Barrett – charged the ring and laid waste to everything and everyone in sight.

The pyros hit and we’re live in the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. Amazingly, the ring apron is changed and we’re off. Matt Striker opens the show in the ring. He introduces the five eliminated Rookies – Michael Tarver, Daniel Bryan, Skip Sheffield, Darren Young and Heat Slater sitting ringside in street clothes. Striker calls out the WWE Pros – Chris Jericho, The Miz, Matt Hardy, WWE United States Champion R-Truth, William Regal, Christian and CM Punk (with mask).

Striker then introduces the three NXT finalists. Ranked #1 Wade Barrett, "A List" David Otunga (ranked #2) and Justin Gabriel (ranked #3). The Pros sit in chairs at the top of the ramp while the three finalists join Striker in the ring in their street clothes.

Striker congratulates the three of them for making it this far. He says they have cultivated a dream for the past 15 weeks. He says two will go home but only one will become the next breakout star and get a title match live on pay-per-view. Striker says since there are only three left there will be two Pros polls tonight. Essentially what that means, they will be double scrutinized by the Pros. It’s announced they’ll face off in a triple threat match up next.

Chris Jericho celebrates with Barrett in the ring. We got to the top of the ramp where Matt Striker instructs the Pros to cast their first poll of the show. While they huddle, we go to Mathews and Cole. Time for another introduction.

Pro’s Poll #2 Results

Before the results are read, William Regal starts to congratulate Chris Jericho. He then congratulates Barrett for being an Englishmen. R-Truth cuts him off then gets in his face. Regal says he’s been stuck on this show for 15 weeks without a live microphone and tells someone to do something. He takes off his coat and challenges Truth. Truth does a weird, creepy hip thrust. Jericho tells him to sit down he hasn’t won a fight in a year. CM Punk says he’s seen enough of everything NXT and goes to the back.
