Edge then reveals why he did all the things he done to Paul Bearer and that is because of Kane! Edge continues that Kane has been “evil” for his entire life as Kane has “ruined” people’s lives for his own “amusement” before saying that Kane used his father, Paul Bearer, as a “pawn” to assist in burying The Undertaker alive and he decided to fight “fire with fire” with Kane before stating that “the ends justified the means” because Kane has been “one-upped”!

This prompts the SmackDown GM to make a major announcement as Theodore Long declares that, regardless of if Kane shows up or not this Sunday night, Edge, Rey Mysterio, & Alberto Del Rio will all be a part of the TLC Match for the World Heavyweight Title! Now that Rey Mysterio and Alberto Del Rio have been added to the TLC Match for the World Heavyweight Title, will Edge’s plan still come to fruition?

Kelly Kelly responds by asking when they became “friends” before saying that she has seen what McIntyre does in the ring and McIntyre responds by saying that the person she sees in the ring is not the “real” him because outside the ring, he is a “completely different person” as he is just a “kid from a far away land” trying to get to know her before asking Kelly Kelly out on a date before Kaitlyn steps in and states that Kelly Kelly already has “plans” because it is “girls’ night”!

During the match, Alex Riley would distract the referee long enough for Alberto Del Rio to trip Rey Mysterio, just like on RAW, and The Miz would roll up Rey, but Rey would kick out before taking out Del Rio on the outside! However, Rey Mysterio would go for his signature rope splash, but The Miz, being given enough time to recover, would get his knees up before pinning Rey for the win! After the match, Alberto Del Rio would rush in the ring and attack Rey Mysterio, prompting Edge to come to the aid of Rey followed by Miz attacking Edge!

Two nights before they face Divas Champion Natalya & Beth Phoenix in the first ever Divas Tag Team Tables Match, the Slammy Award winning Layla & Michelle McCool make an appearance on SmackDown as the 2010 Diva of the Year Michelle McCool states that they are holding an “official protest” against their Tables Match before saying that the match is “not going to happen” because it is “barbaric”! McCool then states that, just like all the women in the back and like everyone in the crowd, none of them are “Diva”, because a “Diva” is “flawless” before LayCool proclaims that the Tag Team Tables Match is “off”! This prompts Divas Champion Natalya & Beth Phoenix to come out with a “present” for LayCool in the form of a gift-wrapped table! Natalya asks LayCool when LayCool started making the “rules” and, after LayCool states that they run the show, Layla states that a Tables Match is “man’s match”! Beth Phoenix then tells LayCool that, this Sunday, they will make sure that LayCool will never “laugh” at them again! Layla responds by saying that Phoenix’s anger brings out her “masculine side” before asking how they are going to put LayCool on the table before Beth Phoenix presents a table painted with a witch likeness of Layla & Michelle McCool!
