IN THE RING
Vickie Guerrero & Dolph Ziggler + Kelly Kelly + LayCool (Michelle McCool & Layla El) + World Heavyweight champion Edge: Acting General Manager Vickie Guerrero came out with her boyfriend Dolph Ziggler to annoy all the viewers. The announcers said G.M. Theodore Long was not doing well in his recovery and he may never return to SmackDown!. Vickie hyped the match later for the World Heavyweight title – saying it would be a match they would never ever forget. Vickie said the uncrowned World champion Dolph Ziggler would team up with LayCool to go against Edge & Kelly Kelly. Vickie ordered “that little tramp” Kelly to come out to the ring RIGHT NOW! Kelly came out looking so cute to face the music for getting involved in the Edge/Dolph match at Royal Rumble. Vickie asked Kelly who she thought she was putting her hands on her at Royal Rumble. Vickie said Kelly was the reason Dolph was not champion right now. Vickie said it would be so easy to just fire Kelly, but she would rather humiliate her and break down her dignity piece by piece. Vickie said Kelly will be the distraction that is the reason Edge will lose his title tonight. Kelly accused Vickie of going through her stuff in the lockerroom trying to destroy her character. Kelly said maybe she should QUIT! Vickie claimed to know know what Kelly was talking about. Kelly called Vickie a vendictive paranoid power-hungry witch and everyone was sick of her! Dolph said he doesn’t care what Kelly says Vickie did, she was the reason he is not World champion right now. Dolph said Edge hit him with an illegal spear and showed a screen shot as prove. Dolph said Vickie can’t reverse the referee’s decision but everyone knows that he is the uncrowned Heavyweight champion. Dolph said the only reason Kelly is allowed to stand in the ring now is because she may be the reason why he officially becomes champion tonight! Dolph said until then they have no use for Kelly, so GET OUT. Kelly slapped Dolph and Vickie waddled over and got in Kelly’s face. Kelly slapped Vickie down on her ass too! Michelle McCool & Layla El ran down and cornered Kelly in the ring until Edge ran down and chased LayCool away. Dolph charged Edge but he got knocked down and Edge pulled Kelly to safety.

Drew McIntyre defeated Kofi Kingston: Late in the match, Ricardo Rodriguez’s face came up on the big screen and he introduced Alberto Del Rio.

This was Alberto’s revenge for something that happened last week.
ELIMINATION CHAMBER QUALIFYING MATCH
Rey Mysterio defeated Jack Swagger:
BACKSTAGE SEGMENT
World Heavyweight champion Edge & Kelly Kelly: Edge said he knew his reign would come to an end some day, but not like this. Kelly was mad because Edge had no faith in her, saying he was just like Drew McIntyre. Edge was caught off guard by that comment and tried to apoligize, but Kelly was still upset that nobody ever had faith in her.
IN THE RING
Ricardo Rodriguez + Alberto Del Rio + Hornswoggle & Rosa Mendes: Ricardo Rodriguez introduced the 2011 Royal Rumble winner, Alberto Del Rio! He drove out in a white convertible and went to the ring for his official celebration. Hornswoggle & Rosa Mendes were still in the ring after shooting t-shirts to the crowd during the commercial break. Alberto reminded everyone that it was his destiny to win the Royal Rumble, go to WrestleMania, and become the new World Heavyweight champion. Alberto started teasing Hornswoggle, saying he had a present for him. There was a piniata hanging above the ring filled with candy and toys to share with all his friends here in New York City! (It’s Long Island). Ricardo put a blindfold over hornswoggle’s eyes and gave him a stick. Hornswoggle started swinging but they forgot to lower the piniata. Alberto finally lowered the piniata but it was still too high for Horswoggle, who took a swing and nailed Alberto in the crotch! Hornswoggle wondered where the candy was, but Alberto just kicked him in the head! Alberto threatened to do more damage, but Kofi Kingston ran down to make the save! Kofi went after Ricardo, allowing Alberto to attack Kofi from behind! Alberto repeatedly whacked Kofi with the big stick.

Wade Barrett w/The Corre (Heath Slater & Justin Gabriel & Ezekiel Jackson) defeated The Big Show: This was almost a squash in favor of Wade Barrett.

WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE HANDICAP MATCH
Edge & Kelly Kelly defeated Dolph Ziggler & LayCool (Michelle McCool & Layla El) w/Vickie Guerrero to retain the World Heavyweight title: The stipulation was that if Dolph pinned Edge or if either member of LayCool pinned Kelly then Dolph would win the World Heavyweight championship. Michael Cole kept calling Kelly the “weak link.” Booker said the stips were ridiculous (and they are)! Just before the bell, Vickie declared that if Edge used the spear in any form he will be stripped of the championship! Dolph and Edge grappled for a minute before Dolph tagged in Michelle. Edge was forced to tag in Kelly and watch her defend his title. They purposely kept the Divas in the ring and so Edge could watch helplessly. Kelly did finally make a tag but Dolph had jumped in and grabbed the referees attention so he didn’t see it and forced Edge back onto the apron. A moment later, Kelly used the spear to pin Michelle and retain the World Heavyweight title for Edge!!! Vickie stepped into the ring and congratulated Kelly for going out of a style. Vickie said Kelly just competed in her last match because she is FIRED! Kelly burst out into tears as Vickie continued to scream at her. Kelly rolled out of the ring and sobbed her way up the ramp backstage. Vickie turned around and addressed her former husband, Edge – saying next week he will be the former World Heavyweight champion. Vickie booked a rematch against Dolph Ziggler next week! Vickie said there would be a special referee, then started laughing maniacally, before screaming “IT’S ME!” Dolph then snuck up behind Edge and hit him with the Zig Zag!
