3/4/2011 WWE SmackDown Report
By Reporter / WrestleSite.com
We begin this week’s show with a look back at last week’s announcement by Teddy Long that as a result of her involvement with the attack on him, Vickie’s WWE career was on the line in a mixed tag match. Vickie lost the match, but you already knew that, and as a result, she was fired from WWE. Vickie’s attempts to beg for her job were futile because Teddy still fired her and Edge would not help her because he was more interested in getting an audition tape for the next season of American Idol.
We are live on tape from Cleveland, Ohio and your announcers are Michael ‘Yo bartender. . . Jobu needs a refill’ Cole, Josh ‘You may run like Hayes, but you hit like ****’ Mathews, and Booker ‘Hats for Bats’ T.
Edge comes to the ring and he says that he will be out later tonight for an official contract signing for his World Title match against Alberto Del Rio at Wrestlemania 27. He says that he is looking forward to getting face to face with Alberto so he can look deep into his eyes and see what it takes to be a champion. He wants Alberto to see what it takes to main event Wrestlemania. Edge says that he has a bone to pick with Alberto. Edge says that he was rudely interrupted. He was in the middle of a going away party for the women that we all love . . . to hate, Vickie Guerrero. Edge says that the awesome part was that he got rid of Edge. She is gone now. Edge wants to start off where we left off last week when Alberto rudely interrupted them.
Edge doesn’t get the chance to sing because Drew McIntyre comes to the ring but Edge sees him coming and then after a few punches, Drew charges at Edge but Edge pulls down the ropes and Drew goes to the floor.
Teddy Long comes out and he says that he wants to thank Drew and on behalf of the entire WWE Universe because they owe him a debt of gratitude. The deal was that if Vickie’s team loses, she would be fired. Thanks to Drew, Vickie has been fired. Teddy tells Drew that if he doesn’t get into the ring and have a straight up match with the World Champion, he will be fired.
Edge says that Teddy brought up a good point. Thanks to Drew, Vickie is gone. Edge says that the fans should give him a hand, and then he starts a chant of ‘Thank You Drew’ and we go to commercial.

We are back and Michael Cole mentions that he will have his first singles match at Wrestlemania against Jerry Lawler. Cole says that he will talk about it later in the show.
Rey Mysterio’s music plays but he got taller and a bit more Caucasian. Instead of Rey Mysterio it is Cody Rhodes wearing Rey’s mask. After he takes off the mask, the proper music plays. Cody stomps on the mask as he makes his way to the ring.
We see footage from last week when the Bull of the Woods got Funky Like a Monkey and helped his thun Cody get a first bit of revenge on Rey Mysterio.
Cody tells people not to look at him. He says that the feeling you have that is festering in the pit of your stomach because you heard Rey’s music and thought you would see him. That feeling is disappointment. Cody says that he knows disappointment. Lately, he is the King of Disappointment when he wakes up every day and sees what once was dashing has been reduced to THIS!
The fans chant for Rey.
Cody says that his father came to him, and Cody says that he convinced him to help him set up Rey Mysterio so he could inflict what he could only imagine is a fraction of the damage done to Rey’s face that he did to his. When he was up there and rubbing Rey’s face in the steel grate and when he removed the mask from Rey’s head, it felt good. Nothing has felt good lately. Cody says that he knew then that it was the right thing to do.
Cody says that it is time for the other ‘right thing to do’. Cody says that he does not want to disappoint his dad, who is watching. He doesn’t want a carnival side show freak like Rey Mysterio to keep him from becoming the World Champion. Cody tells Rey that if he chooses to accept hischallenge for Wrestlemania 27, he promises Rey, a guarantee and unbreakable vow, he promises that he will remove Rey’s mask and expose what is left of his face on the grandest stage of all.
Cody goes to the back while trying to avoid the camera.

Kane says that he did not need or ask for their help and he definitely does not want it now.
