Smackdown:
* Kane/Taker recap video to open, then usual SD open and pyro.
* They announced Taker and Punk, and then the gong hit and Taker was in the ring, fire going off on stage. He talked about how he's had to protect Kane from others and himself, so he'll have no problem beating on him at the PPV. Taker says he still controls the power of the darkness. He said Kane will always remember his older, wiser, more evil brother would take his title back. Taker says no rules can contain them, and says the match must be no holds barred.
* CM Punk comes out alone, clapping. He tells everyone to stand and give Taker a round of applause fitting his legendary status. Punk says after the PPV none of us will see Taker again. He enjoys watching Taker on his own downward spiral, seeing a broken down man who's had one too many fights and is delusional.
* Taker says he sees his next victim. Punk says he doesn't hear the same panache in Taker's voice, saying he's facing Big Show at the PPV (for no title I guess?) Taker says Punk will rest in peace, and we break.
* Jack Swagger vs. MVP - they showed a recap of last week's VIP Lounge. It looks like MVP added the triple German suplexes, but only got two before Swagger elbowed out. Swagger did an abdominal stretch on MVP through the ropes. MVP hit the Ballin elbow, but Swagger slipped away before the 305. MVP followed and Swagger kicked the steps into MVP's knee, leading to the ankle lock for the tap.
* Laycool and Kaval in the back, arguing over who would face Melina, saying Vickie let either defend. Kaval said it was his first night on SD, and could the girls please chill? They heeled him a bit, saying he wouldn't be there if not for them.
* Next is a history of Taker and Kane.
* Tony Chimel announces Alberto del Rio's ring announcer, who announced Alberto.
* Alberto del Rio (with Orton's old sparkler curtain) vs. Matt Hardy - Matt's back to camouflage pants and no singlet. Alberto hit Matt on the apron with a running enziguri that was real loud. Matt hit an inverted Twist of Fate, ending with an elbowdrop for two, followed by a moonsault for two. They fought up top, with Alberto dropping to the floor to hang Matt's gut. Ram to the post followed by a flip into the cross-armbreaker for the tap. Afterwards, Christian ran Alberto off. Long TV match.
* Drew McIntyre vs. Kaval (who already has better music and video than Daniel Bryan) - Drew hit a nasty suplex on the floor, landing Kaval on the apron. Kaval with an enziguri from the top rope, but Drew rolled out before Warrior's Way. Kaval went for a rana from the apron but Drew essentially powerbomed Kaval. Back in the ring, Drew hit the Future Shock DDT for three. Laycool came out to check on Kaval, but were icky at his sweat. They helped him to the back.
* DASHING Cody Rhodes with grooming tips - how facials are good for men, while wearing a green facial mask.
* Vickie and Caitlyn came out...again. Vickie kept berating Caitlyn's promo work, then introduced Dolph Ziggler. Chavo (with short tights) also came out and the whole group came to the ring.
* Dolph Ziggler and Chavo Guerrero vs. Kofi Kingston and Chris Masters - One of these things just doesn't belong. Beatdown on Masters until a hot tag. Kofi entered with a high springboard clothesline. Double clothesline spot. Dolph made a tag but the ref didn't see it and put Chavo out - weird to do to the heels of course. Kofi hit Trouble in Paradise on Dolph for the three count.
* A lot of ring and stage setup, including Kane's pyro corners. Meantime Big Show on the tron, interviewing himself, with him playing Josh Matthews. Kelly told Show Josh was coming do Show hid the mic under his arm. Josh got his mic back, a bit soiled.
* CM Punk with Straight Edge Society, then he sends them to the back. Punk vs. Undertaker - Punk cut off the usual moves, but got chokeslammed for two. Taker went for the tombstone, but Punk slipped out and hit the GTS. Punk slow to cover, and Taker got the Hell's Gate for the tap.
* Undertaker went to pose and Kane's pyro went off with his laughter filling the arena like Joker's laugh box from 1989's Batman. That's where Smackdown ends.
Dark Match:
* Undertaker vs. Kane for the World title - ends in a double countout. Kane continued the beating til Taker hit a chokeslam. Kane ran after that and the show ended with Taker posing.
Has this guy seen SmackDown at all in the past few months? "Chavo (with short tights)", "Alberto has Orton's old sparkler curtain intro", "Matt's back to pants and no singlet".
Those have been that way for a while now?

Posted By: jamille420 (Guest) on September 07, 2010 at 10:36 PM
Big Show vs CM Punk at Night of Champions? that makes no sense, cause this PPV is only for Championship Matches, so why would they add Big Show/Punk to the line-up?
They also have yet to announce an Intercontinental Title Match for the NoC PPV, but I do expect Ziggler vs Kingston to be the match.
I like that the Kane/Taker match is now No Holds Barred.
NoC should be a pretty awesome PPV...

Michelle will probably face Melina at Night of Champions in order to unfiy the Diva's title and Women's Championship.

I would have preferred the match between Taker and Punk to end in a double countout, double disqualification or a run-in of some sort by Kane, but then again Punk jobbing to Taker was predictable.

I was there tonight. During Ziggers' intro, on the titantron, it said Kofi vs. Dolph for the IC title at NOC.

Damnit Vince, STOP JOBBING PUNK! He should have made Taker tap within 5 seconds and then beat Kane at NoC within 5 seconds. He is an IWC darling, He needs to be invincible!!!

Great!(extreme sarcasm here)Taker buries Punk again! He's gonna bury Kane at NOC and Michelle Mcribs is going to unify the Women and Divas title. Then Mctaker are going to be the power couple of Smackdown! oh joy......
Undertaker you think you impress somebody going all "Die die die" and all that bull crap. Well this wrestling fan is not impressed. Boo! Boo! Boo!
Posted By: Alan (Guest) on September 07, 2010 at 11:42 PM
Honestly just drop Night of Champions. We already have 3 PPVs in a 5 week span with NoC, Hell in a Cell, and Bragging Rights. Simply move Hell in a Cell to September and then have Bragging Rights be the October PPV. 12 PPVs, one for each month. While I think there should be less, this would be a start. I mean, they're randomly adding Punk vs. The Big Show for no title. Speaking of championships, still waiting on an announcement of the tag-titles, the IC title, and perhaps one no one considered.... the Million Dollar title!

Punk shoulda won to get over just how vulnerable the Undertaker is right now. Also, a win over the Undertaker would have given Punk momentum going into his match vs. the Big Show. Pretty basic booking.

True, but they do only have 7 titles and it will be only 6 after the pay per view.
I think it would work if they made Punk vs Show a #1 Contender's Match and had a #1 Contenders Match for Raw (even though all the contenders are already in the main event, but for the future, ya know)
I'm also a CM Punk fan and i'm cool with Taker beating Punk. Taker's higher on the pecking order than Punk and he's earned that. I'm cool with him losing to Taker, i'd question him losing to Ziggler, i would complain if he lost to MVP.

wow cm punk fanboys united,taker should be beating punk.punk is great but he has already beaten taker,and all this taker buries everyone clearly you people know nothing about taker's career,a short list of superstars he put over,mick foley/mankind,kurt angle(survivor series,not fully loaded when kurt should have lost given the storyline),brock lesnar,of course stone cold(never even beat austin),the rock,hbk hell he only beat him at mania and lost every other match,now who has he "buried"? anyone that is a main eventer that he has beaten have in turn beaten him,face facts every other 'main eventer" has or will have more world titles and hog the spotlight more than takerever had(cena,hhh,orton,edge,hell i wouldn't be suprised if shaemus surpases him) so before you bitch like a little school girl who tore her favorite dress,actually look at facts first.the loss hurt punk ALOT less than his pathetic fued with show has.

They can't help it. Men are free to confess their love for other men. Most of 411 does this proudly for CM Punk and Chris Jericho. Orton used to be one of the idols but now that he's so popular all of a sudden the love fest is dying down.

You have got to be the dumbest guy on this site. Why would Punk beat Taker in 5 seconds considering Taker is the #1 contender and the most dominant superstar ever. And on top of that, why would Punk even get a title shot at NOC and win that in 5 seconds? If this is CM Punk "Internet Darling" you're talking about, he should win both matches in 3 seconds... COMBINED!

Seems like it and he fails on the smark report of Ortons sparkler curtain part because Christian was doing it first after they split E&C.

Posted By: HSK (Guest) on September 08, 2010 at 03:41 AM
Punk is my favourite wrestler but as long as he looks good in the match i have no problem him losing, i think they should have Punk v Show number one contenders match and have Punk go over & then around Survivor series Taker drops the title to Punk who holds the title till Wrestlemania, thats how i would book things anyway.

Wow, WWE does it again with a lousy show. I know there are a lot of haters out there, but Matt Hardy needs, no, DESERVES some wins. He has been a crowd favorite forever, and all they do is misuse him over and over again. Of course, they are pretty well doing the same thing to Christian, so, for my two cents, the WWE can go to hell.
Posted By: Angelus (Guest) on September 08, 2010 at 06:30 AM
WTF? Why are the geezers the focus of this show? Taker is like 51 and Kane is 48. Their feud was good back in 1998 but it's 2010! almost 2011 and they are facing each other again, burying the young guys. What a load of BS.
Posted By: Fuck the old guys (Guest) on September 08, 2010 at 06:32 AM
Listen up common senseless. The list you have provided mainly includes main eventers and World Champs. Give me one midcarder that he has raised to the top.
Posted By: Alan (Guest) on September 08, 2010 at 06:42 AM
Seriously? Punk can't even beat a 'broken down' Taker? I thought Punk would finally get a win after his burial by Taker last year. Taker doesn't look vulnerable at all. Kane still looks like he has no chance in hell of winning. This better not lead to TAker having 'one last long title reign' which were his excuses for hoarding the title in 08 and 09.
Posted By: Danielson Lives (Guest) on September 08, 2010 at 07:06 AM
*points at all the naive IWC groupies who thought Taker would do the job to a mega jobber*
REALLY ? Some of YOU did think Punk, who has been losing CLEAN to SHOW in multiple Three on One and Two on One matches would WIN a ONE on ONE encounter with the Phenom himself ?
Reality Check : Punk has been jobbing to death to the likes of Taker and Egosterio since he defeated and retired from the WWE one Jeff Hardy.
Hate Jeff all you want but at least HE did the JOB to PUNK TWICE and CLEAN.
As soon as I've seen "taker vs punk on SD this friday" I knew Punk would job like nuts super clean here.
Posted By: Vintage Undertaker (Guest) on September 08, 2010 at 07:55 AM
You people are super dumb, this match was there to put over Taker for his megashowdown with Kane while Punk has been jobbing for months and is seen a mid card jobber at the very best.
WTF the guy could not beat Show a SINGLE Time on handicap matches and you DO expect HIM to defeat Taker and CLEAN one on one ?
Keep living in your fantasy world little keyboard warriors hiding in mommy basement !
Punk has not been relevant since Jeff Hardy turned him into a main eventer more than one year ago.

They need to bring back the American Badass. They need to turn John Cena. They need to turn HHH. They need to push Christian. WWE really needs a change of scenery and fast.
Posted By: Propagandhi (Guest) on September 08, 2010 at 08:56 AM
Why in the blue hell would people say Punk should have won that match? Taker is going into a PPV title shot, not Punk. By Punk getting the win, your 'challenger' loses credibility (aside from the fact that it is Taker and he could lose to the Brooklyn Brawler and still be badass Taker).
Punk hit GTS, that's good enough for me.
Announcing a Punk/Show match at Night of Champions does not make sense. Sure, they are running a program still, I guess, but without a title, it doesn't make sense.
I expect a Ziggler/Kofi match. Hopefully they add Christian or McIntyre or someone for a 3-way or 4-way. Just because there's a 5-way match, for now at least, doesn't mean the IC belt can't have multiple challengers.
Women's belts should only be defended on TV after NoC as well. Stop shitting on people who pay for PPVs. I would rather watch Chavo v Masters on PPV than women's division, mainly because Chavo and Masters actually know how to wrestle and can put a basic match on without botching shit every 8 seconds.
