Kofi Kingston vs Sheamus
Sheamus punches Kofi on the apron then hits a flying shoulder tackle, but only gets a two count. He knocks Kofi back down then puts him in a headlock, but Kofi fights out and goes up top and hits a big crossbody. Kofi runs into the corner for the punches but Sheamus hits a forearm smash and sets up for the Pale Justice. He misses when Kofi slides out and Sheamus misses again with a Brogue Kick, and Kofi hits Trouble In Paradise. Sheamus lands on the ropes and Kofi hits him one more time for good measure and picks up the win.
Winner – Kofi Kingston
The next pick is RANDY ORTON, and boy Lawler is right, what a night for Smackdown so far. Orton comes out and does the "Orton pose" then holds up the Smackdown shirt and puts it on and the crowd continues to go crazy.
Michael Cole (w/ Jack Swagger) vs Jim Ross
Cole stomps around the ring making fun of JR then goes back to his corner to talk to Swagger. JR tries to swing at Cole but he leaves the ring and takes JR’s hat and steps on it. Cole once again goes to the corner to get toweled off, then Cole does pushups to continue to stall. JR finally gets hold off Cole and throws him to the crowd but Cole tries calling time out. Swagger gives him a stool to sit on and gets him water and a spit bucket, and Cole charges out of the corner and tries to bodyslam JR. He gets him off the ground but JR falls on him and starts pounding away until Cole narrowly escapes.
King sees this and grabs Cole and throws him back in the ring, and JR continues to pound on Cole as Swagger throws King into the barricade. Swagger gets in the ring and knocks down JR and puts him in the Ankle Lock while Cole screams about JR busting his lip open. Cole takes JR’s belt and beats him with it while Swagger keeps him in the Ankle Lock until King makes the save. King picks up the belt and starts beating Cole with it until he gets away and Cole and Swagger run away. A GM email is sent in and it says King and JR’s match against Swagger and Cole will be an "Extreme Whipping Match" (I guess it’s a strap match, but extreme).
Winner by DQ (Jim Ross)
