- Smackdown opened with an appearance by "Coffee Mug" David Otunga. He was followed out by John Laurinaitis, the new Smackdown GM following WrestleMania. Mega-heat on Laurinaitis, who wanted to bring out Teddy Long one last time. Long told him to "go to hell." Laurinaitis introduced new Smackdown graphics on the arena walls. He then wouldn't let Long quit, otherwise his grandkids's WWE-sponsored college fund will be cut. So, Long is Laurinaitis's lackey now.
(1) Mark Henry & David Otunga beat R-Truth in a handicap match. This match was made by Laurinaitis. Henry quickly demolished Truth and won with the World's Strongest Slam.
Kane vs. Randy Orton in a WrestleMania match was turned into a No DQ match. Orton complained that the middle rope was too lose, so the ref appeared to gimmick one of the turnbuckle pads.
(2) Randy Orton beat Kane in a No DQ match. Orton won with a DDT onto a chair followed by an RKO for the win. They fought by the announcers, made their way to the stage, and Kane hit a DDT on the steel leading to a likely commercial break. Back in the ring, chairs were introduced. Five, to be exact. Orton hit the second-rope DDT onto a chair for a two count. For the finish, Orton flung Kane into the exposed turnbuckle and hit the RKO for the win.
New World Hvt. champion Sheamus was up next. Still a lot of boos. A Raw Recap aired on the Alberto Del Rio-Sheamus segment. Almost all of the crowd noise was edited out.
In the ring, a local jobber was given mic time to say he's glad to be here. Ryback (former Skip Sheffield) then returned to TV. Not much of a reaction.
(3) Ryback beat Random Jobber with a Fisherman lift into a Samoan Drop.
Daniel Bryan was advertised for the next segment. Loud "Yes!" chant. WWE is going to have to pipe in boos, as there was a thunderous reaction for Bryan.
Bryan came out with no "Yes!" shouting to sell that he's mad. A.J. held the ropes open for him with all of her body weight in a funny moment. To start, AJ tried to make Bryan feel better about losing the World Title at WrestleMania. The crowd wants to support Bryan, but he thinks they're mocking him. He says the "Yes!" chants don't make it better, then blamed all of his troubles on AJ, running her down and trying to get the crowd to boo him. He then dumped her and heeled it up pretty well, shouting "We're through!" Plus, he called her "fat." AJ ran out of the ring to the back as the crowd sang the "Na na na, goodbye" song. Then, "Yes!" chants and the crowd still cheered him.
Off-camera, Bryan gave out his only "Yes!" chant of the show.
(4) IC champion Big Show squashed Heath Slater. Former champ Cody Rhodes was on commentary. They had a staredown post-match.
- Laurinaitis said he wants Sheamus and Alberto Del Rio to face off before their match to prevent Sheamus from delivering another surprise attack. This led to another Sheamus story.
(5) Nikki Bella beat Divas champion Beth Phoenix in a non-title match. Nikki won quickly - under a minute - after Kelly Kelly distracted Beth. It was a very minor distraction.
- On the Titantron, WWE developmental wrestler Damien Sandow debuted. Sandow ran down how sinful and dirty our humanity is. He preached himself as a better, more pure person.
(6) Alberto Del Rio beat World Hvt. champion Sheamus via DQ in a non-title match; Del Rio earns a future World Title shot. In the beginning, the "Si!" chants took on a life of their own and the crowd began counting out Del Rio in Spanish. Del Rio began working on Sheamus's arm on the outside, then Sheamus mounted a comeback. Del Rio tried to attack Sheamus with a chair, but failed. Sheamus was caught with the chair in hand and was DQed! Del Rio pulled an Eddie Guerrero, feigning a chair shot from Sheamus.
Post-match: Sheamus threw a fit, then took out his anger on the referee with a Brogue Kick to end the show. Overall, good chemistry for Del Rio and Sheamus.

John Laurinaitis brought Teddy Long out to offer him a job. He said you can take your job and shove it. Johnny mentioned Teddy's grandkids need it for college. The crowd booed him badly.
