Charisma meets destiny, to the Extreme
CHARLOTTE, North Carolina In the wake of WrestleMania, SmackDown moved to the Extreme, as Alberto Del Rio snatched the opportunity to take on World Heavyweight Champion Edge in a Ladder Match at Extreme Rules.
Alberto Del Rio def. Christian in a No. 1 Contenders Match
With 11-time World Champion Edge sitting in with the SmackDown announce team, Christian battled Alberto Del Rio for the right to become the No. 1 contender to the World Heavyweight Title and take on The Rated-R Superstar at Extreme Rules. When Captain Charisma became momentarily distracted by Edges Spear to Brodus Clay outside the ring, Del Rio seized the moment, leveling his opponent with a kick to the back of the head to pick up the monumental three-count. Del Rio will now face The Ultimate Opportunist in a Ladder Match at Extreme Rules.
Sin Cara flies high
As Michael Cole and Jack Swagger were singing their praises from their nefarious actions at WrestleMania, WWEs explosive new Superstar Sin Cara emerged, defying both gravity and logic with a jaw-dropping attack on The All-American American.
Beth Phoenix & Kelly Kelly def. Michelle McCool & Layla
When Michelle McCool was hurled into the ropes by Beth Phoenix, her momentum knocked Layla off the apron. As a result, the English-born Diva was unable to tag in when Michelle came calling. Later, when Layla was trying to tag Michelle in, a sudden back issue kept the first-ever Divas Champion from relieving her partner-in-flawless, allowing Kelly Kelly to pick up the quick victory. As the dust cleared, the animosity between the members of Team Lay-Cool was noticeable.
Cody Rhodes def. Trent Barreta
When Cody Rhodes was kicked in the face by Trent Barreta, the jaded Superstar completely snapped, unleashing a bitter assault on his opponent that culminated with the Cross Rhodes for the win. After the bell, Rhodes turned his protective facemask into a weapon against Barreta, prompting Rey Mysterio to storm to the ring and nearly snatch the facemask off his emotionally-scarred adversary.
Big Show, Kane, Kofi Kingston & Santino Marella def. The Corre
In an Eight-Man Tag Team 2-out-of-3 Falls Match, Kofi Kingston used a high cross body on WWE Tag Team Champion Justin Gabriel to score the first fall. Following a devastating boot to the face of Santino Marella, Intercontinental Champion Wade Barrett hit The Italian Stallion with Wasteland, tying the match at one fall a piece. As Kane was preparing to finish Barrett with a chokeslam, The Corres use of excessive force brought the disqualification, giving their opponents the third fall and the overall victory. The Corre was then treated to a post-match onslaught by their triumphant adversaries, culminating in a triple chokeslam on Ezekiel Jackson by Kane, Big Show and Santino.
Edge spray painted Alberto Del Rios Rolls Royce
After Alberto Del Rios WrestleMania moment of destiny and his Rolls Royce Silver Spur worth $120,000 were destroyed by Edge, the aristocratic Superstar returned to SmackDown gunning for more. He proclaimed that destiny can be delayed, but not stopped. The Master Manipulator interrupted him, rolling in on a tow truck containing Del Rios ruined luxury automobile. The Ultimate Opportunist opted to add insult to auto-injury, spray painting his elitist foes fancy ride. Although an outraged Del Rio demanded another title match, Edge responded that Christian deserved it more, since Captain Charisma had defeated Del Rio in singles SmackDown matches two weeks in a row. Before things turned physical, SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long created a main event No. 1 Contenders Match between Christian and Del Rio. The winner would face Edge at Extreme Rules in a Ladder Match.

Jerry Lawler & Jim Ross vs. Michael Cole & Jack Swagger
May we have your attention, please! Personal animosity is about to evolve a WrestleMania rematch into an Extreme tag team showdown as Michael Cole the Raw General Managers unofficial spokesman teams with former friend Jack Swagger to battle Jerry The King Lawler & fellow WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross at Extreme Rules. In a clash the WWE Universe might have never foreseen months ago, the vintage Raw announce team of Lawler & Ross reunite in an attempt to finally silence the audacious mouth of Cole, the self-described Voice of WWE. WrestleMania should have been a monumental moment in the life of Jerry Lawler. Not only was it his first time in his illustrious career that The King would compete at The Show of Shows, but the regal Superstar would finally be given the chance to get some payback on his ultra-cocky fellow Monday Night Raw announcer. For months, Cole ridiculed The King at every pass, stepping way over the line as he mercilessly mocked Lawlers family. With his vicious trainer and former World Heavyweight Champion, Jack Swagger, at his side, Cole attacked the WWE Hall of Famer week after week. On The Grandest Stage of Them All with WWE Tough Enough host Stone Cold Steve Austin as special guest referee not even The All-American American could stop Lawler from making his outspoken opponent tap to the ankle lock. However, the anonymous Raw GM revoked Lawlers moment of retribution, reversing the decision to award the WrestleMania victory to Cole by disqualification. Just 24 hours after returning to WWE to call part of WrestleMania, Ross rejoined the Raw commentary team, but found himself in Coles bold crosshairs as well. With Lawler trapped in Swaggers clutches, the leader of the Cole Miners attacked J.R. and covered the iconic announcer with his own barbecue sauce. The Voice of WWE made yet another mistake the following week when Lawler's critical victory drove Cole to slap his All-American ally, driving a rift between the two men who will team up on pay-per-view. The gloves and headsets have definitely come off for Extreme Rules on May 1. Will the years-old bond between Lawler & J.R. be enough to take down a hated colleague in Cole, despite his rocky pairing with a skilled former World Heavyweight Champion in Swagger?
