Brothers continue tense rivalry on SmackDown
On SmackDown, The Undertaker accepted World Heavyweight Champion Kane's challenge to a Buried Alive Match.
After being betrayed by Paul Bearer at Hell in a Cell, The Undertaker returned to SmackDown and came face-to-face with his brother, World Heavyweight Champion Kane, and The "Father of Destruction".
At the start of the night, The Deadman was perched high on the outside of the Rose Garden Arena. By the close of the night, The Deadman made his way inside the arena to confront his brother Kane, who degraded both the WWE fans and The Phenom.
With Paul Bearer at Kane's side, the duo watched The Undertaker stride quickly and confidently to the ring. After a tense staredown, The Deadman unloaded on his treacherous brother, sending him and Paul Bearer running for cover.
Meanwhile, a series of qualifying matches took place this week to determine the makeup of Team SmackDown for WWE's upcoming Bragging Rights event.
The Ultimate Underdog Rey Mysterio was the first Superstar to qualify, defeating Cody Rhodes with the 6-1-9, to join team captain Big Show against Team Raw in the war for brand supremacy.
Executed
In the second qualifier of the night, "The All-American American" Jack Swagger defeated MVP to earn a spot on Team SmackDown. Swagger applied the agonising ankle lock which had MVP tapping out within seconds.
After losing out to Mysterio last week, Alberto Del Rio bounced back from his first ever loss by defeating Chris Masters to capture a spot on Team SmackDown. An aggressive Del Rio won the match after applying the cross arm-bar, a move which forced Masters to submit.
In two other qualifying matches, The Rated-R Superstar Edge speared Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler to seize his spot at Bragging Rights whilst fan favourite Kofi Kingston grabbed his spot after he executed Trouble In Paradise on Scotsman Drew McIntyre.
Elsewhere, Kaval survived a five minute challenge with The Big Show to qualify for Team SmackDown and then accepted a challenge from Tyler Reks, who challenged the NXT season two winner to a match to take his spot on Team SmackDown.
Still suffering the effects from his ordeal with The Big Show, Kaval struggled with a fresh Tyler Reks, who dominated proceedings and not only won the match but also took Kaval's hard-earned spot on Team SmackDown.
Next week on RAW, Husky Harris and Michael McGillicutty will face WWE Champion Randy Orton and The Nexus' John Cena in a bid to can earn their place on the WWE roster as members of Wade Barrett's faction.
