Kane will address the WWE Universe tonight about the tombstone he gave to his brother.

Rey Mysterio comes to the ring and he has something to say to the WWE Universe. Rey starts off by speaking in Spanish to the people of Bakersfield. Rey says that he wants to thank the WWE Universe for helping him get through one of his most grueling matches at SummerSlam. While he did not get the result he wanted, he was not put in a casket. Rey mentions that Kane has accused a lot of people for being responsible for the attack on the Undertaker. In the end we know that he was looking to mask his guilt. Rey says that his name has been cleared. We know that it was Kane who attacked the Undertaker. Rey says that . . .

Rey is interrupted by Alberto Del Rio who makes his way into the arena and he says that tonight is his grand debut on Smackdown. Alberto tells Rey that it is an honor. Rey is a Mexican idol. He is a great luchador. After all their families have been through, they are both here. They are both Mexican icons. He says that he is a national hero, a millionaire, and a man who is admired in Mexico. He says that his family comes from kings. Alberto says that Rey’s blood is from the streets of Tijuana. Alberto says that Rey is like the people of Bakersfield. He is the little worm in his bottle of tequila. He is little and then he tries to grab Rey but Rey tells him not to touch him. Alberto says that Rey is a joke of a man. Alberto says that he is handsome rich, and powerful. He is a man who wears the finest clothing.

Rey says that Alberto’s suit and cufflinks are nice. He says that he has a family member who has the same things but he got them at a swap meet. Rey tells Alberto that he has a lot of guts coming out here to talk about his royal family. Rey tells Alberto that he is a nobody. He says that he has seen Alberto’s type a million times. Just because you have houses all over and wear fine, tailored suits that he has to respect him. Respect is earned around here and as far as he is concerned, Alberto has not gained anyone’s respect.

Alberto says that he does not have to earn anything from Rey or the people. He calls Rey a peasant. Alberto tells Rey that he is going to respect him, or he will make Rey respect him.

Rey tells Alberto that he is not his amigito. If Alberto wants his respect and the fan’s respect, he tells Alberto to come and get it. Rey suggests that he face Alberto tonight in a match.

Alberto thinks about it and he says that he will do it because he can’t wait to squeeze Rey like the little cockroach he is. Alberto winks at Rey and Rey hits Alberto. He knocks Alberto into the ropes and Rey hits a 619 and leaves the ring.

We go to Michelle and Layla’s dressing room and they both talk about how good they look. Layla says that it is time for some real talk and she mentions that Teddy Long is probably not happy with what they did to Melina at SummerSlam. Layla thinks that Teddy will punish them but Michelle thinks that Teddy should be rewarding them. Michelle talks about all of the crying that Melina does. Layla and Michelle are secretive about their plan and when they leave, there is an ugly plant in the center of the dressing room that is really Hornswoggle in disguise.

Matt and Todd get serious after the return of Hornswoggle. They talk about the resolution of the Who Vegetated Undertaker story and we see photos from SummerSlam of Taker’s return.

The Straight Edge Society followers are in the dressing room and Luke says that he cannot forgive Punk for walking out on them at SummerSlam.

They need to prove that they are strong. Serena says that tonight is their chance because they will beat Kelly Kelly and Big Show. Joseph says that Serena isn’t ready to be in a match, but Serena says that she has been training for months and that she is ready and that they will show that they deserve Punk’s admiration.

Punk enters and he wonders what they mean by his admiration. Punk says that none of them deserve anything, least of all their admiration. Punk says that he watched Raw and what Nexus did peaked his interest. Punk says that if they don’t win their match, they are out of the Straight Edge Society.

We are back and Kane is in the ring and the building is red and he is laughing maniacally. Kane says that when the devil removed himself from heaven and earth, he left seven deadly sins. Kane says that his favorite sin is pride. Kane tells his brother that it was his pride that weakened his powers over the decades of destruction. It was his pride that allowed Kane to put him in a vegetative state. It was Taker’s pride that brought him back before he was ready. It was because of his pride that he was able to drop Taker on his head at SummerSlam. Kane asks Taker if he can remember when it all began. He asks if Taker can remember when the downward spiral from immortality to the mangled wreck that was left in the ring on Sunday was started. For years, he was nothing more than some vague memory in the back of his mind. When Taker saw him again for the first time, the look in his eyes told the story. It was the story of an older self serving brother who was worried about keeping the spotlight on himself while leaving his brother in the shadows.

Kane says that everything that he did in those early years, Taker was able to overcome. Instead of destroying his legend, Kane made it greater. When Taker set him on fire, he knew that it was his influence that pushed Taker to the limit of the dark side. It was his little brother who separated him from his last vestiges of humanity. It was Taker’s most magnificent moment. That is when Kane knew what he had to do. That is when his master plan was set in motion. With every victory, Taker’s collection of souls grew, but so did his weakness. Kane says that he watched and waited. Even in victory, it was clear that Taker was losing his grip. It was the day that Taker forced Kane to take off his mask to reveal his true face to the world, that Taker unleashed the monster capable of ending Taker’s reign of darkness.

When they met for the second time on the grandest scale of them all, the time was not right, but the plan continued to evolve. Kane says that he understands Taker better than anyone. He positioned himself at Taker’s right hand to gain confidence. Kane says that he watched and waited. Their reunion was nothing more than a vehicle for his vengeance. Kane says that no matter how many times Taker was sent crashing down, he would get back up. It was because of Taker’s pride that he continued to get up. Taker’s pride would be his undoing. While Taker was disgracing himself and allowing himself to be disgraced by those beneath him, Kane says that he was biding his time. Kane says that he knew his moment arrived when he showed Shawn Michaels some mercy. Taker could have destroyed Shawn Michaels or he could become one with his weakness. It was at that moment that the plan he hatched over a decade earlier had come to fruition.

Kane says that he knew last Sunday when he saw that shadow of his former self rise out of the coffin and the weak grip around his throat, he knew that it was over. All of those years of planning, watching, and waiting in the shadows were at an end. Kane says that he had his vengeance. A vengeance that had eluded him for so long. Kane says that now the shadows in which he once labored are now cast upon him. What was once Taker’s holy grail is now Kane’s World Title. He tells Undertaker that they used to be the Brothers of Destruction, but now Taker is nothing more than the brother he destroyed. For fifteen years, Kane dreamt of the day when the Phenom would be no more. Kane relished the thought of being the dominant brother. He knew that this day would come. Kane says that he dedicated his life to this moment becoming reality. The moment that his brother would be cast down with grave vengeance and furious anger. That would be the moment that he would replace Taker as the devil’s favorite demon.

Kane laughs again as he summons the hellfire and leaves the ring.

Before the match starts, we hear Dashing Cody Rhodes’ music and he comes out in a dashing suit and joins Todd and Matt at the announce table.

Christian versus Drew McIntyre

Jack Swagger says that this is the worst summer ever. At the start of the summer, he was the World Champion but he wasn’t even on the card for SummerSlam. He was robbed of the World Title and then he says that he was robbed last week by MVP and he calls MVP a delinquent. He wants the person with whom he is communicating to respond but we see that it is Rosa Mendes exercising and she has headphones on. Jack says that he is getting no respect.

Jack turns around and Montel Vontavious Porter is in front of him. Porter says that he hears what Jack is saying but nobody is buying into the ‘I’m better than you’ thing. Jack reminds Porter that he is the All American American and Porter cuts him off before he gets out too many ‘Americans’. He says that nobody is questioning his credentials. Porter says that Swagger might be better than him at some things and he points out Swagger’s whining. Swagger says that he is better at him in any way. Swagger says that he can beat Porter in a shootout and he calls it the Jack Swagger Senior Invitational. Porter asks Swagger about his dad’s chronic diarrhea.

Swagger says that if he wins, he gets to host the VIP Lounge for a night. Porter says that if he wins, he will throw a huge end of the summer block party and Swagger has to pick up the tab.

It is time to talk about the main event at SummerSlam and then it is time for the Raw Rebound.

Teddy Long is in his office and Kane joins him. Teddy tells Kane he might not be happy to hear that the Undertaker is going to be on Smackdown next week. Kane doesn’t look too angry and he says that next week Smackdown will be hell on earth.
