DX def. Unified Tag Team Champions Chris Jericho & Big Show in a Non-Title Match

Earlier in the evening, Unified Tag Team Champions Chris Jericho & Big Show made the case that they are the greatest tag team ever assembled. A little tandem by the name of DX took issue, as you might imagine. As a man used to dealing with warring factions, Raw special guest host Ben Roethlisberger, his offensive line by his side, devised an idea brilliant in its simplicity: Settle it in the ring, fellas.

The mouthy Jericho & snarling Show, riding a wave of momentum after their victory over Batista & Rey Mysterio at Hell in a Cell the night before, seemed to dominate the match for a time. Triple H & Shawn Michaels, however, were coming off an equally lofty win over The Legacy. When the sand began to shift under their boots, the Unified Tag Team Champions thought they would simply quit and leave the ring. Unfortunately for them, their earlier insults prompted Roethlisberger and the Steelers offensive line to confront the two and corral them back into the squared circle. Once there, a waiting DX licked their chops and devoured the Unified Tag Team Champions for the victory.

D-Generation X def. The Legacy (Hell in a Cell Match)

The numbers appeared overwhelming for Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase even before the two set foot inside Satan’s Structure. Their opponents, Triple H & Shawn Michaels, have earned a combined 17 World Championships between them. Meanwhile, The Game has prevailed in five of seven Hell in a Cell Matches while HBK emerged victorious in the first ever match inside the Devil’s Playground.

Despite an impressive effort, The Legacy simply could not overcome those daunting figures and the determination of DX. While Rhodes & DiBaise came up short, there should be no shame in dropping a match to, arguably, the most imposing tag team in WWE history, especially after defeating DX in the months leading up to Hell in a Cell.

Perhaps realizing how formidable the task was that lay before them, Legacy attempted to secure the upper hand even before the opening bell, attacking DX as they made their way to the ring. Once the dust had settled, Legacy had dragged Michaels into the cell alone, locking The Game outside. After watching helplessly as his partner was being punished, Triple H had seen enough. He retrieved a pair of bolt cutters, broke into the cell and devastated Rhodes & DiBiase. The earlier attack seemed only to enrage Triple H & Michaels, who sought – and found – revenge once inside the 20-ft. tall, steel structure when they locked out DiBiase in order to punish Rhodes.

While DX capitalized on their experience and taught The Legacy a lesson they’ll likely never forget, there’s little doubt that with their effort, Rhodes & DiBiase earned a great deal of grudging respect from many in the WWE Universe.

John Cena, Undertaker & DX def. CM Punk, Randy Orton, & The Legacy

In the biggest Eight-Man Tag Team Match in SmackDown history, Superstars from both SmackDown and Raw battled for bragging rights on one of the biggest nights in WWE. After a hard-fought war, it was Undertaker who reigned supreme for his team when he crushed Randy Orton with a devastating Tombstone. The brutal end begs the question – what kind of condition will The Viper be in on Sunday when he takes on WWE Champion John Cena in Hell in a Cell?

We here at KOK would like to wish Smackdown a happy birthday!

The Legacy and DX traded barbs
As if there wasn’t enough animosity crackling between The Legacy and D-Generation X, Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase tweaked their WWE Hell in a Cell opponents by unspooling footage of Legacy defeating and humiliating DX over the past month. Never to be outdone, DX retaliated by poking fun at their young antagonists and confronted the two, but Rhodes & DiBiase fled. In the run up to WWE Hell in a Cell, the two teams will have a chance to prove themselves in the biggest Eight-Man Tag Team Match in the history of Friday Night SmackDown, just 48 hours before meeting inside Satan’s Structure.
