Kingston number one contender to Intercontinental Championship
Edge continued to use Paul Bearer to make World Heavyweight Champion Kane's life a living hell on the latest edition of Smackdown.
Just seconds after Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre had defeated MVP and Kaval an irate Kane emerged, executing a brutal chokeslam on MVP and a tombstone on Kaval before demanding that Edge return the abducted Paul Bearer to him.
However, Kane's actions ignited yet another torturous night of torrent, courtesy of The Rated-R Superstar.
Once again, Edge forced Kane to chase him throughout the arena, as he crushed one fake Paul Bearer with huge storage boxes and pushed a second fake Paul Bearer down a flight of stairs.
Stipulation
With the abducted Bearer still missing, World Heavyweight Champion Kane battled Edge in the main event to determine who would pick the stipulation in their match at WWE TLC in two weeks time.
When a screaming Paul Bearer appeared on the arena screen during the match, Kane had to choose whether to seek out his father and potentially lose by count-out, or return to the ring and try to finish off his bitter rival.
Opting to finish the match, Kane soon found himself floored by a crushing Spear by The Ultimate Opportunist, a move which not only won the match but allowed Edge to decide the match stipulation at the upcoming pay-per-view.
Proclaiming that their match at WWE TLC will be Tables, Ladders and Chairs, Edge then informed Kane that he would give him back his father.
However, when The Big Red Monster tried to recover Paul Bearer at the top of the ramp, he instead discovered an unknown man dressed like his father.
As he attacked the imposter, the real Paul Bearer again appeared on the arena screen. Kane ran to look for him, just in time to witness Edge driving away in a truck, with a hysterical Paul Bearer secured to the back in a wheelchair.
Brawl
After costing Alberto Del Rio a win in the King of the Ring Tournament this past Monday Night on RAW, Rey Mysterio returned to SmackDown surrounded by tables, ladders and chairs.
When Del Rio emerged, The Ultimate Underdog informed him that they will face each other at WWE TLC.
The brawl that soon ensued between them came to a crushing halt when Mysterio leaped off the apron onto Del Rio as he lay on a table outside the ring.
Elsewhere, Kofi Kingston and Jack Swagger squared off in a thrilling contest with the opportunity of becoming the new number one contender to Dolph Ziggler's Intercontinental Championship.
After the two went back and forth, Kofi hit Trouble in Paradise from outside of the ring to floor Swagger who was leaning between the first and second ropes. The stunning manoeuvre was more than enough to secure victory for Kofi along with number one contender status.
