SmackDown opens with CM Punk and the SES in the ring along with 3 others sitting in chairs. Gallows says there was a time when he was like those 3, “weak minded, pathetic and riddled with addiction.” Gallows says that Punk can save everyone in the ring and in the WWE Universe and can make the impossible possible. Serena says everyone needs to show Punk the respect that he deserves. Punk leads the 3 in the ring in the SES Pledge. Punk, Gallows and Serena begin to shave the 3 and Rey Mysterio comes out. Mysterio says this is too much. He shows a picture of Punk without hair. Back from break, they show that after Mysterio came out, Punk and Gallows beat down the 3 guys in the ring.
The opening match is Team LayCool taking on Kelly Kelly and Tiffany. Kelly and Layla start out. Layla gets a unique cover on Kelly for 1. Layla gets an armlock, but Kelly goes up in the corner and hits an armdrag out of the corner. Kelly sends Layla to the apron and kicks her off. She kicks McCool off the apron too, and flies of the turnbuckles onto McCool. Layla tries to back away, but gets caught with a flying clothesline from Tiffany. Kelly brings Layla back in and tags in Tiffany. Tiffany comes off the top with a sunset flip, but only gets a 1 count. Tiffany hits a front dropkick and sets up Layla in the corner. Monkey Flip out of the corner, but Layla follows up with a knee and tags in McCool. Tiffany throws McCool across the ring and knocks Layla off the apron. She goes for a standing Monkey Flip on McCool, but McCool counters into the Faith Breaker and covers to win the match.
Move of the Match: There were a handful of nice moves. I liked the Faith Breaker and the Corner Armdrag, but I’m going to give this to Kelly’s dive onto McCool on the outside because you don’t see moves like that very often in women’s matches in WWE.
Big Show is on the screen. He talks about Swagger’s accomplishments. He then says, “Did you know, 3 weeks ago, I knocked Jack Swagger out?” They show the video and then Show says that is just one of his many accomplishments.

Croft is in the corner and JTG hits the Mug Shot. Barreta gets up on the apron and distracts JTG, but JTG counters and attack from Croft with a modified Shout Out and covers for the 3 count.
Move of the Match: This has to go to the Shout Out because it came out of nowhere and is so effective.
Vicki Guerrero is in the back. Christian comes in and Vickie asks to be the guest on Christian’s Peep Show. Christian says he’d like to have her on, but he wants people to watch the show. Christian names some of the people on his list. Bret Hart, The Mountie, The Brooklyn Brawler, Jared the Subway Guy, and “Lester, the guy who loves chicken.” Vickie asks who Lester is and Christian says he doesn’t know. Vickie wants to know who number 1 is. Christian says he can’t tell her, all he can tell her is that he and his guest tonight have never really seen eye to eye.

Archer hits his spinning facebuster throw. The guy tags in his partner who takes a few shots at Archer, but runs into a neck hanging throw.

Move of the Match: There were only a handful of moves, but the best had to be the Scoop Slam Inverted DDT/Elbow Drop combo.
After the match, Hawkins takes the mic and says there are 22 days left on their contract and they will make an impact whether the WWE Universe likes it or not.

Christian is out for the Peep Show. He introduces his guest, Hornswoggle! Hornswoggle struts around the ring and gives a DX chop. He gives the mic back to Christian and climbs up into the seat. Christian talks about what they have in common. They’re both on SmackDown, they both want to make a big impression and if he know’s Hornswoggle, he’s here to get himself into a little bit of trouble. Christian teaches Hornswoggle to speak Canadian. First is “eh,” then “hoser,” next is “hockey,” and then the most important word in the Canadian language, “beer.” Vickie Guerrero comes out with Chavo. She tells Christian she’s shutting down the Peep Show. He says there was another word he was going to teach Hornswoggle before she interrupted, “Obesity.” He says he has another word, “Moose.” Hornswoggle says “Moose” and points at Vickie. Chavo says they can’t talk to Vickie that way and Vickie says if Christian won’t leave voluntarily, she has someone who will help him.
