Segement: In ring with Orton
I hear voices! Randy Orton, representing with a Smackdown t-shirt, comes out and it’s promo time. Crowd loves him and he soaks it in for a while before beginning. For those of us who don’t know him, please allow him to introduce himself. He is Randy Orton. For the first time in almost five years, he is back on the Smackdown roster. While he is looking forward to the many challenges that lie ahead, he has some unfinished business to attend to this Sunday at Extreme Rules…
New Raw superstar Drew McIntyre is out for some interrupting. Orton is on Smackdown, but with the good news comes the bad news- McIntyre is moving upwards to Monday Night Raw. It looks like the WWE Universe will have to wait just a little bit longer for McIntyre vs. Orton. McIntyre is only here to say hello…and goodbye. He pulls Orton in for a Future Shock DDT but eats an RKO instead. We get a replay of it, and it’s back to Orton on the mic. As he was saying…
Highlight below to see what the chosen one will be up to on this weeks edition of Smackdown!
Segment: Smackdown opens with Randy Orton coming out to a huge pop, introducing himself to the Smackdown fans. Drew McIntyre, wearing a Raw shirt, comes out and interrupts.

Battle Royal
This is in progress as we start. More or less imagine anyone in the midcard or upper midcard on either show and they’re in this. There are 20 men in this with guys like Kane, Show, Bourne, Sheamus, Corre, DiBiase, Tatsu, Clay, Henry etc. Three or four guys put Kane out. Show fights Khali for a bit to a nice reaction. These matches are always hard to call and this is no exception. A bunch of Smackdown guys put out Khali.
Sheamus tries to dump Barrett but can’t get him. Clay is walking around looking like he wants lunch. Only two eliminations so far that I can tell. Drew almost gets Bryan out but DiBiase saves. If I understand this right any amount of people can win for a team, as in if there are three Smackdown guys left in the end the match ends. Kozlov is out. Show beats down Sheamus as Henry puts Big Zeke out. The team dynamic here is kind of cool.
Slater is gone as is Masters. Raw has a slight advantage now. Barrett is gone as Raw takes over. Did Ted DiBiase just put Barrett out? Wow indeed. There goes DiBiase. Henry and Clay go out at the same time. It looks like it’s 6-4 with Raw ahead but Tatsu goes out to make it 5-4. Sheamus can’t put Rhodes out. For Raw it’s Sheamus, Bourne, Daniel Bryan, Mason Ryan and Santino. For the blue guys it’s Rhodes, Kofi, Drew and Show. Drew puts Sheamus out as we take a break.
Back with no changes. Bryan gets crushed by Show as Bourne puts McIntyre out.
