Yes, sir, we promised you a great main event..."
The WWE video leads us into the show.
The Smackdown video plays and we're brought into the arena with a big fireworks
display. The announcers talk about Alberto Del Rio winning the Royal Rumble.
They then show a WrestleMania piñata hanging over the ring. Del Rio had it
shipped in for a big celebration later tonight.
Tony Chimel says it is his privilege to introduce the newest member of the
Smackdown announcing team, Booker T! CAN YOU DIG IT, SUCKA?! Booker T comes out
to a really nice reaction. He gets in the ring, takes off his jacket, and does
the Spin-a-roonie! I can't wait to listen to him.
EXCUSE ME! Vickie Guerrero and Dolph Ziggler make their way to the ring. Vickie
says tonight will be a Smackdown that we will never forget. She has assembled
several qualifying matches to determine who will be in the Smackdown Elimination
Chamber match for the World Heavyweight Championship. Speaking of the World
Heavyweight Championship, this will be a match we will never forget. Tonight the
uncrowned champion Dolph Ziggler will team up with Lay-Cool to face Kelly Kelly
and Edge. Speaking of that little tramp, Vickie is ordering Kelly Kelly to come
out to her ring right now. Vickie screams for her to come out.
Kelly Kelly's music hits and she makes her way to the ring. She doesn't look too
happy at the moment. Vickie asks who Kelly thinks she is putting her hands on
her at the Royal Rumble on Sunday. Vickie says Kelly is the reason and the
distraction for why Dolph Ziggler is not the World Champion right now. Vickie
says she's thought all week long about how easy it would be to fire her, but
that would be too easy. Instead she'd rather humiliate her and break down her
dignity piece by piece. Then she'll know what it's like to be the reason and
distraction for why Edge isn't the champion.
Kelly says everyone knows who Vickie is. She's the one trying to destroy her
character – the one who goes through all her stuff in the locker room and is
constantly in her personal life. Kelly says she's sick of it. Vickie said she
could fire her but maybe she'll just quit. Vickie says she has no idea what
she's talking about. Kelly says Vickie is a vindictive, paranoid, power hungry
witch, and everyone is sick of her. Ziggler says he doesn't care what she says
Vickie did, she cost him his World Title so she has nothing else to say. Kelly
is the reason why he isn't the World Champion right now. When she ran down and
attacked Vickie, the distraction allowed Edge to hit an illegal move – the
Spear. They then show a still photo of it.
Ziggler says Vickie can't reverse the referee's decision but he just wants her
to know that he is the uncrowned World Champion. The only reason why she's
allowed to stand in the ring with Vickie and him right now is because she may be
the reason why he officially becomes the World Champion tonight. Until then,
they have no use for her.
Kelly slaps Ziggler and then knocks Vickie down. Lay-Cool quickly runs down and
they get in Kelly's face. Edge then runs out and punches Ziggler down. Edge gets
Kelly Kelly out of the ring and they go up the ramp.
-Commercial Break-
Josh Mathews, Michael Cole, and Booker T talk about the main event tonight. It's
Edge and Kelly Kelly taking on Dolph Ziggler and Lay-Cool for the World
Heavyweight Championship. If Lay-Cool pins Kelly Kelly then Dolph Ziggler
becomes the World Champion.
As the Unified Tag Team Champions make their way to the ring, they show a replay
from Raw when Randy Orton punted Husky Harris in the head.

powerslam but Gabriel breaks up the pin. Gabriel knocks Santino out of the ring
and Kozlov knocks him out of the ring. Slater quickly kicks Kozlov in the back
of the knee and hits a snap reverse DDT. Gabriel is tagged in and he hits a
NASTY 450 Splash for the win!

The World Heavyweight Championship Elimination Chamber match will now feature
Edge defending against Drew McIntyre and Rey Mysterio.
They show a replay from Raw with Alberto Del Rio choosing to fight for the World
Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania. He then attacked Edge with a guitar
and applied the Cross Arm Bar. They show the WrestleMania piñata hanging over
the ring.
Edge is talking with Kelly Kelly about how he never thought his title reign
would come to an end like this. Kelly is insulted that he doesn't have faith in
her and says sorry isn't enough. She says he's the same as Drew McIntyre and
walks off. Edge is left with the same expression so many men are left with after
an argument with a woman – confusion.
-Commercial Break-
The announcers talk about Jerry "The King" Lawler's title shot at Elimination
Chamber against The Miz.
Hornswoggle and Rosa Mendes enter the ring throwing out t-shirts. The ring is
decorated with a red carpet and balloons at every corner. Ricardo Rodriguez then
comes out to the stage and announces Alberto Del Rio to the ring. The siesta is
about to begin. Alberto Del Rio enters the ring and says his name, but we
already knew that. We also know that it was his destiny to win the biggest Royal
Rumble match in history. It's his destiny to go to WrestleMania. It's his
destiny to be the new World Heavyweight Champion.
Del Rio says he was planning to have his celebration later on but when he saw
Hornswoggle, he decided to come out right away. Not only is Hornswoggle in the
ring with the future world champion, he's here because he has a present for him.
Del Rio points to the piñata and says it's filled with candy and toys,
representing all the goodness he wants to share with his friends in New Jersey
(they're in Long Island). Del Rio asks if Hornswoggle is ready for the candy and
toys and he is. Del Rio has Rodriguez blindfold Hornswoggle and spin him around.

quickly takes her out and prevents the tag. Kelly then reverses a whip and hits

the apron. Edge then takes Ziggler out and sends him into the barricade.
In the ring, Layla holds Kelly up for McCool to kick but she ducks it. Layla
eats the kick and Kelly gets McCool out of the ring. Kelly then Spears Layla and

because she's fired. Kelly cries and leaves the ring. Vickie screams at her that
she doesn't give a damn about her and says it's her show. Edge is behind her and
Vickie turns around to see him. Vickie tells her former husband that he will be
the former World Heavyweight Champion next week. Next week he'll have a rematch
against Dolph Ziggler for the title with a special referee: Vickie Guerrero!
