Edge took his revenge on WWE championship elimination chamber contender Big Show ahead of No Way Out.
Show stopper steps up conflict ahead of No Way Out
WWE champion Edge took his revenge on Big Show by preventing the big man from winning a fatal four-way, made up of No Way Out WWE championship elimination chamber contenders on Smackdown.
The Ultimate Opportunist blamed his tag team partner Show for the neck injury Undertaker inflicted a week ago and in the critical climax of the grueling clash between Triple H, 'Taker, Show and Vladimir Kozlov the Rated-R Superstar ran in to deliver a spear to The World's Largest Athlete and snatch the momentum heading into Sunday night's main event.
Jeff Hardy also made an emotional return to Smackdown after the shocking attack by his brother Matt Hardy that cost him his WWE championship at the Royal Rumble.
The Rainbow-Haired Warrior vowed to put the controversy behind him and recapture the gold in the elimination chamber this Sunday.
Feuds
United States champion Shelton Benjamin stepped up his feud with the reinvigorated Montel Vontavious Porter, meanwhile, by interrupting the Ballin' Superstar's match with Chavo Guerrero.
Angered by his non-title bout defeat to MVP last week, Benjamin's Pay Dirt manoeuvre left the former US champion unconscious.
The self-proclaimed Mexican Warrior Chavo Guerrero then added insult to injury with a frog splash of his own after Porter had been awarded the disqualification victory.
In a more light-hearted encounter, world tag team champions The Miz and John Morrison beat WWE tag team champions Carlito and Primo for the right to take Nikki and Brie Bella out for Valentine's Day.
With the referee distracted, Miz threw Primo from the top rope, to set Morrison up for the victory and secure the Dirt Sheet duo the enviable opportunity to woo the Bella twins.
R-Truth also ended Ezekiel Jackson's undefeated record by reversing the Brian Kendrick associate's Ura-nage finisher for the quick pin.
And finally, Maria capitalised on Eve's intervention to roll former divas champion Michelle McCool up for the three-count.
