Friday Night Smackdown
No Disqualification
The Miz def. Triple H
In response to Miz' attack on Shawn Michaels on Raw, Triple H got a no disqualification match against the Intercontinental Champion. This match wasn't about winning for Triple H, it was about hurting The Miz. And hurt Miz is exactly what The Game did. The match soon left the ring, and Triple H pulled out his trusty sledge hammer. Triple H beat Miz with the sledge hammer up and down the ramp, and seemed to have Miz finished off on the stage where Triple H hit a Pedigree on the Most Must See Superstar. Bloodied and beaten, Triple H brought Miz back down to the ring to get a legal pin. But with the match back in the ring, David Otunga came through the crowd. Sliding into the right, Otunga hit Triple H with The Verdict, and Miz followed it up with a snap DDT, knocking Triple H out for the 3 count.
Daniel Bryan def. CM Punk
CM Punk has been feuding with Team Hell No individually the past few weeks, and Kane's loyalties are still uncertain. But CM Punk finally got his match with Daniel Bryan. Punk looked to get the victory over Bryan, completing the sweep of the dysfunctional tag team, but The Rock came down to the ring, which distracted the Straight Edge Superstar. He left the ring, and began attacking "Dwayne", tossing the WWE Champion into the ring and giving him a GTS. This distraction was just enough to Daniel Bryan to take advantage and get the 3 count.
Stone Cold def. Mark Henry
#1 Contender's Match
Lita def. Trish Stratus
Lita rushed the ring and began attacking Trish before the bell even rung. She picked up a quick victory over Trish Stratus. After the match, Beth Phoenix and Mankind appeared on the stage applauding Lita's victory, which confused both Lita and the WWE Universe.
Randy Orton def. Rey Mysterio
A long, competitive match between these men ended with Orton pinning Mysterio after a 2nd RKO. After the match, Alberto Del Rio rushed the ring, attacking both men.
