"Yes sir, we promised you a great main event"
To open the show, we're shown the highlights of the cage match from last week's Smackdown.
We're backstage with Edge arguing with General Manager Teddy Long. Edge feels that Teddy is favoring Del Rio and that he should be penalized for the attack last week. Teddy makes it clear that what he is doing is in the best interest of WWE, the SD main event at Wrestlemania, and of him & Del Rio. And he also makes it clear that if either of them touch each other before their Wrestlemania match, they'll both be banned from Wrestlemania. Edge walks off as Green Day's music hits.
Rey Mysterio vs CM Punk (Wrestlemania Rewind Match)
Nine days away from Wrestlemania and Smackdown is kicking off from Columbus Ohio this week. Rey Mysterio's music stars and he comes off to a large pop from the crowd. Matthews & Booker are at ringside, as well as Cole inside his penalty box. CM Punk comes out to a potpourri of reaction from the crowd. They show a replay of Punk's ambush on Orton from Monday night. Mysterio & Punk square off with Punk getting control early on Rey in the corner. A throw to the opposite corner sees Rey leap over a charging Punk. Rey throws Punk into the ropes and tries for the 619, but Punk counters with a kick to the gut. Punk rolls Rey over, and he comes back with a hard kick to Punk and a quick 2 count. Rey bounces off the ropes, tries for a cross body but Punk gets out of the way. Punk starts to focus on Rey's ribs with a few kicks, and a quick 2 count. Punk then locks Rey in an abdominable stretch, rubbing his elbow in Rey's ribs. Rey powers out of it and eventually tosses Punk to the outside. Punk pulls Rey out of the ring, has him on his shoulders and then drops him on the barricade outside. And we go to our first commercial break.
Back from break & Punk is still in control, hammering Rey in the corner and then locking him up in the middle of the ring. Rey powers out of it by going at Punk's knee. He lands another sharp kick to Punk's head, starts to build momentum, but is hammered back down by Punk. More focus on Rey's ribs with some kicks, and a few quick 2 counts. The crowd tries to get Rey back into it with a 619 chant. Punk tries a suplex, but Rey counters, bouncing off the ropes, only to run into a cross body and another 2 count. Punk goes upstairs in the corner,, tries a high flying manuever, but only to run into a standing dropkick from Mysterio. Rey lands a few kicks to Punk's knee, and after a bounce off the rope, he tries another high flying maneuver, only to be caught by Punk, tossing each other to the outside. Then Rhodes comes out and ambushes Mysterio. He throws Rey into the ringpost before putting him back onto the ring apron. Off goes the tie and shirt and he starts planting multiple head butts on Mysterio. Rhodes then pulls up his pant leg to expose a knee brace, and gives him a kick to the head before retreating backstage. Rey is helped backstage, and as he is tended to by medics, his mask is almost half off.
Winner: Rey Mysterio (by DQ due to Rhodes attack)
Backstage, we're shown Edge in the locker room who is approached by Christian. He asks Edge if he's sure he should go through with this or if he should be in the same building as Del Rio. Edge says he appreciates his concern, but he has his match with McIntyre, and he will be his corner for his match with Del Rio later. We're told that Taker will respond to HHH later tonight and we have another commercial break.
