Preliminary Dark Match: Mason Ryan def. Finlay
[/color][/right]We're welcomed to this edition of WWE Smackdown by announcers Michael Cole, Matt Striker and Josh Mathews. They talk about how we're in for a massive night tonight. We're going to see two Elimination Chamber qualiers between Chris Masters and Kane and Big Show and Tyler Reks. Our main event of the evening is set to be huge as World Heavyweight Champion Edge takes on the challenge of the All-American American Jack Swagger!Preliminary Dark Match: Mason Ryan def. Finlay
Ezekiel Jackson's theme hits and he walks down to the ring. Before he gets in the ring he walks around and picks up a microphone. When he gets in the ring he talks about how, last week on Smackdown, he talked about becoming the Intercontinental Champion and he's going to fulfil that goal. He says that he hates the way Dolph Ziggler walks around Smackdown with that title belt and he's going to wipe that evil little smirk off of his face.
Dolph Ziggler and Vickie Guerrero then come out to a massive chorus of boos. Guerrero does her regular 'excuse me' act to a lot of heat from the crowd, half of what she's trying to say cannot be heard over the boos. Ziggler takes the microphone and tells the crowd to shut up, he then takes the taunting over to Jackson. He tells Jackson that he's the greatest champion of all time and is currently the longest reigning champion in the WWE. He says that Jackson doesn't deserve to be in the same arena let alone the same ring as him.
Jackson laughs Ziggler's claims off. He says that he was the last ever ECW Champion and that title was a lot more prestigious than what Ziggler is holding right now. Jackson tells Ziggler to back his words up with his actions and fight him right now! Ziggler refuses to do so and this confrontation brings General Manager Theodore Long out to the ring.
Long talks about having an Intercontinental Championship match at Elimination Chamber but being unable to find any more viable contenders. So, tonight, Dolph Ziggler will face Ezekiel Jackson and if Jackson wins then he will get his wish and will take on Dolph Ziggler for the title at Elimination Chamber. Jackson smiles as the crowd pop at this decision; Ziggler and Guerrero are visibly upset, however.
-COMMERCIAL BREAK-
Joseph Mercury vs. Kaval
This match was a fantastic opener. The crowd was really hot as Mercury was making his in-ring singles debut since returning to the WWE. Kaval and Mercury are both around the same size so this led to them having styles that clicked and this did nothing but make this match-up better. Both men got in good amounts of offence but in the end it was Mercury who prevailed when he hit a Double Underhook Powerbomb that the announcers referred to as The Mercurius.
Winner: Joseph Mercury[/color]
Drew McIntyre is being interviewed backstage and he talks about how he's destined to be a World Champion in 2011 because he was personally chosen by the chairman of the board, Vince McMahon. However, before he does this, he needs to do something for the sake of the WWE Universe. He needs to take out one person that has been nothing but stupid. They call him the ultimate underdog yet he wins 90% of his matches. So, in 2011, Drew McIntyre will call out Rey Mysterio.
LayCool are in their dressing room and they're discussing all the divas on the Smackdown roster and how they're nowhere near flawless like them. They talk about the Glamaman, Smelly Kelly, Fakelyn and Loser Mendes. Beth Phoenix bursts in and tells LayCool that she could hear them from outside and tells them to say that to her face. LayCool nervously laugh as they come up with various excuses for why they need to run out of the dressing room. Phoenix just stands her shaking her head in disbelief.
-COMMERCIAL BREAK-
Returning from the break the announcers welcome us back and then begin to hype up tonight's matches. They talk about the Elimination Chamber qualifiers between Kane and Chris Masters and Big Show and Tyler Reks. They also hype up the divas action with Layla versus Kelly Kelly, the Ezekiel Jackson-Dolph Ziggler match-up that has an Elimination Chamber title shot on the line and our massive main event with Edge withstanding the challenge of Jack Swagger.
Alberto del Rio is in his dressing room with Ricardo Rodriguez and Seth Rollins. del Rio doesn't seem overly happy about not being in action tonight, he says that he should be the one taking on Egde not that penniless fool Jack Swagger. del Rio calls Rollins over and says it has a plan, he whispers into his ear and the pair smile as the camera fades to black.
Big Show vs. Tyler Reks[/color]
This was a massive match as it was a qualifier for the Elimination Chamber match. It didn't last too long as Reks attempted to use his mean streak and vicious power against Big Show but he could hardly lift the World's Largest Athlete off of his feet. The ending came when Tyler Reks, out of nowhere, attempted to lift Big Show up onto his shoulders for the Burning Hammer but Big Show just laughed and smashed Reks in the face with a Knockout Punch giving himself the victory.
Winner: Big Show

Dolph Ziggler w/Vickie Guerrero vs. Ezekiel Jackson
This match was given ten minutes in which Dolph Ziggler showed his ever impressive wrestling abilities and Ezekiel Jackson showed off his powerful moveset. Both men got high amounts of offence in and this was probably Jackson's best WWE performance to date. When Jackson looked like he was about to win Vickie Guerrero jumped up on the apron and was promptly ejected from ringside. Ziggler got distracted as he watched Guerrero walk away and he turned around right into a vicious Book of Ezekiel for the victory. We have our Intercontinental Championship match booked for Elimination Chamber.
Winner: Ezekiel Jackson
-COMMERCIAL BREAK-
Kofi Kingston is with Jack Korpela and he is talking about how next week he's being given the chance to qualify for the Elimination Chamber match and he's going to live his boyhood dream at Wrestlemania. However, out of nowhere, Jack Swagger comes flying in and he hits Kingston with the Gutwrench Powerbomb and screams something at Kingston about how he'd rather be facing him and not Edge.
For the second time tonight Theodore Long comes out to the ring and talks about how he's seen a few people displeased with tonight's main event. He says because he wants to make Smackdown as good as it can be he's going to be changing the main event to something that he thinks is more suitable. So, tonight's main event is now Edge, Kofi Kingston and Rey Mysterio against Alberto del Rio, Jack Swagger and Drew McIntyre! The audience seem very pleased with this new main event and let their voices be heard about it.
World Champion Edge and his old friend Christian are in Edge's dressing room talking about old times and the World title. Christian tells Edge that when he wins at Elimination Chamber he better know that he wants his Wrestlemania moment be against Edge because he's the man he respects most in the whole WWE. Edge says he's okay with that and the pair hug and share an emotional moment.
-COMMERCIAL BREAK-
Layla w/Michelle McCool vs. Kelly Kelly
Coming back from the break we're already well into this divas match. Layla dominated before Kelly Kelly began to take control an eventually set-up for the K2. Before she could hit it, however, Michelle McCool jumped up on the apron and distracted both the referee and Kelly Kelly allowing Layla to recover and hit the LayOut on Kelly Kelly for the victory.
Winner: Layla w/Michelle McCool[/color]
Michael Cole, Matt Striker and Josh Mathews talk about what has already happened tonight on Smackdown. They mainly recap wins from Layla, Big Show, Ezekiel Jackson and Joseph Mercury and discuss other events that have partaken. They also hype up our massive six man tag main event and talk about how, shortly, we're going to see Kane take on Chris Masters with an Elimination Chamber spot on the line.
-COMMERCIAL BREAK-
Kane vs. Chris Masters
This was just a squash match for Kane to qualify for the Elimination Chamber match. Kane dominated straight from the off before planting Masters with the Tombstone Piledriver and picking up the victory.
Winner: Kane[/color]

-COMMERCIAL BREAK-
Edge, Rey Mysterio and Kofi Kingston vs. Alberto del Rio, Drew McIntyre and Jack Swagger w/Seth Rollins
This match was a fantastic match-up. All six men had great chemistry with each other and it really showed. Three pairs of men all had grudges with each other but they were mainly kept away from each other during the course of this match. They were some great moments in the match like when Edge hit a top rope Spear to the outside on Jack Swagger and when del Rio hit Rey Mysterio with a huge Enzuirgi Kick when Mysterio went for a flying crossbody.
The end eventually came when Kofi Kingston was the legal man. A six man brawl began to ensue inside the ring but the faces prevailed as they all hit their rivals with their finishing moves. Kingston then followed up on the other legal man, Drew McIntyre, by adding Mysterio's 619 and hitting him with a hard Trouble in Paradise for the victory.
Winners: Edge, Rey Mysterio and Kofi Kingston[/color]
del Rio, McIntyre and Swagger all lay on the floor in high amounts of pain. The faces hold each other's arms up in the air and end Smackdown united in victory.
