Smackdown GM Teddy Long come out to say Smackdown did well in the Draft and introduced Kofi Kingston, followed by Chris Jericho, who is now on Raw.

(1) Kofi Kingston defeats Chris Jericho in a good match.

Backstage, Big Show knocked out Jericho. Chavo Guerrero, who joined the Smackdown brand, came out to cut a promo about being back with Vickie Guerrero. Kane then came out and chokeslammed him.

(2) Cody Rhodes, who joined the Smackdown brand, beat John Morrison in a long match.

Edge, who was drafted to Raw, was out next for a promo. Edge said he loved Smackdown and it was his show and he loved the fans. Christian came out. Christian said they knew each other since sixth grade. (I thought they were brothers.) Christian called Edge a liar and Edge finally admitted he used the fans. Christian said he didn't want to reunite, but wants a match tonight. Edge declined, but they brawled. Christian then started the "na na na na hey hey goodbye" chant.

(3) Kelly Kelly & Women's champion Beth Phoenix beat Laycool (Michelle McCool & Layla). Kelly pinned Layla for the win.

C.M. Punk and Straight Edge Society came out to cut a promo on beating Rey Mysterio by himself at Extreme Rules. MVP came out and promised to bring fun to Friday nights. SES beat him up until Rey made the save. Teddy Long then made it a tag match.

(4) Rey Mysterio & MVP beat C.M. Punk & Luke Gallows. After the match, Punk's mystery man in the hooded sweatshirt attacked Rey.

World Hvt. champion Jack Swagger had a fantastic heel promo. The boos were louder than his speech at most times and it was his greatest promo to date. After a good bit, Teddy Long introduced the new #1 contender, Big Show. After some back-and-forth, Show KO punched Swagger.

Post-Smackdown Dark match: World Hvt. champion Jack Swagger beat Big Show and Chris Jericho in a three-way match to retain the World Hvt. Title.

Finally, an Edge and Christian interaction. Too bad there wasn't a match.

I waited a good couple of years for a face return for Edge, and now he's already a heel again? C'mon!

That's what i'm wondering. Why a heel turn so sudden? I know people want him back to a heel, but not this soon.

...Because he makes for a better heel than he does a face.

It sucks to see Edge not being a face anymore, but he makes a far better heel.

Besides, couldn't they have done one more Edge/Jericho match to settle the score of 1-1?

Swagger-Show sounds like a terrible match. What's worse is that Swagger can't do his finisher on Show, so there's either going to be a cheap finish or...Show winning.

On a side note, I never understood the power of Edge's spear. Big people like Batista and Big Show do spears occasionally but people are able to kick out of those.

So what does this mean for Christian? They had him do the "IM GONNA WIN THE BELT" thing on RAW, but he doesn't even confront Jack Swagger on this Smackdown...?

I'm confused.

Also, why are there so many non-Smackdown guys on Smackdown this week (Edge, Y2J, and Morrison)... do they already recognized they screwed over Smackdown with the draft? 

Also: Big Show as the main face of Smackdown... again? Fail. Big Show needs to leave... again

Edge definitely seems out of place as a face, but damn they're turning him already? They didn't even really give him time to grow back into being a face.
