Do You Know Your Enemy? Mine is a house guest at the moment.
No Cole tonight? Ok then.
Sheamus vs. Tensai
This is after a break. Tensai does a full entrance while Sheamus is still in the ring. They start brawling in the aisle with Sheamus pounding away on the bald one. Sheamus blocks a shot into the post and sends Tensai into it instead. They get inside for the bell and Sheamus charges into the corner and starts pounding away. Tensai gets in an elbow to the face but Sheamus takes out the knee for two.
We get a video from two weeks ago after Smackdown with Orton getting beaten down by Del Rio.
Ricardo is looking for Orton in the back and he hears something hissing. He finds the Cobra with a Santino attached. Santino warns Ricardo of the Viper being somewhere around here and Ricardo storms off.
Heath Slater/Jinder Mahal vs. Santino Marella/Zack Ryder
We get a clip from Raw of HELL NO surviving somehow against Del Rio and Ziggler. Ziggler has touted a challenge to a match with Kane tonight.
Kane vs. Dolph Ziggler
Ziggler goes right at him but Kane throws him down into the corner. Dolph keeps charging at Kane in the corner but he gets shoved back every time. Kane sends him over the ropes but Ziggler skins the cat. That goes badly for him as Kane kicks him to the floor as we take a break. Back with Kane getting guillotined on the top but Ziggler jumps into a choke. The chokeslam is countered into a Fameasser for two and Dolph takes over.
We get a clip from the Larry King segment on Raw.
Kofi Kingston vs. Big Show
Miz comes in to talk some trash to Kofi post match. No attack though.
Ricardo is with Del Rio again when Bryan comes in again. Trash is talked and they have a match later.
Damien Sandow vs. Sin Cara
Bryan tells Kane not to come help him no matter what.
Alberto Del Rio vs. Daniel Bryan
JBL goes on a rant about how stupid it is to try to manage anger in wrestling. Both guys go after the shoulder to start with Del Rio taking over by pounding Bryan down into the corner. Bryan changes his strategy and kicks out the knee for two. Bryan moonsaults out of the corner and hits a clothesline as the crowd is getting fired up. There are the YES kicks but Del Rio comes back with a kick of his own in the corner.
