Welcome to this week’s Smackdown! The show begins of a teaser of what is to come tonight. After Dolph Ziggler’s concussion, Alberto Del Rio and Jack Swagger will battle in an I Quit Match to determine the #1 Contender at Extreme Rules. Also, Randy Orton and Big Show will both be guests on Miz TV.
The Miz is in the ring, welcoming us to the show. Miz says his two guests are bitter rivals, who will go one-on-one at Extreme Rules. Miz first introduces Randy Orton. Randy makes his way to the ring. Then Big Show makes his way to the ring. Miz says they will have an Anything Goes match this Sunday. Both have had issues since Wrestlemania, making this one of the most anticipated matches. Miz reminds us that Big Show defeated Tensai last Smackdown, but was taken out with an RKO afterwards. Miz asks if this is a preview of what is to happen at Extreme Rules. Big Show says he would expect a weasel like Miz to make a statement like that. Show says the only reason he got him was because it was from behind. Show was attacked many times by Orton, but can do anything at Extreme Rules. Show says he doesn’t need weapons, when he has on his arm. Instead of an RKO at Extreme Rules, it will be a TKO. Orton says that was an entertaining story, but the ending is inaccurate. Orton says it takes place in his hometown, but won’t allow himself to be defeated in front of his friends and family. Orton says he made the mistake of trusting Show, but can be trusted when he says he will strike down the giant. If Show isn’t careful, he might not get back up. Jack Swagger and Zeb Colter interrupt.
Colter says Extreme Rules will be memorable, but because of Swagger making Del Rio say he quits. Everyone will remember the night that Jack Swagger emerges the #1 Contender. Alberto Del Rio interrupts.

The only thing people will remember is Alberto Del Rio becoming the #1 Contender, as Ricardo announces it. Del Rio will make Swagger quit, and send Colter back to where he came from. Mark Henry interrupts.
Henry says the only thing that will be remembered will be Mark Henry setting records. Not only that, but Sheamus being thrown, dragged and beaten across the ring. Henry says everyone is gonna remember he is the strongest man in the world, because that is what he does. Sheamus interrupts.
Sheamus says to Mark, their match will be the most memorable. Especially when he leaves Henry’s bruised body in the ring. Sheamus says why wait, as he runs to the ring with a belt in hand. The heels are cleared out of the ring, as Sheamus, Randy Orton and Alberto Del Rio stand tall in the ring.
