The Friday night show started at Sprint Center, Kansas with a non-title match between the World Heavyweight Champion Edge and Brodus Clay. Del Rio also joined Clay and stood outside the ring with his personal ring announcer Ricardo
Rodriguez. When Edge tried to hit the Spear on Clay, Rodriguez distracted the referee while Del Rio clutched the ankle of Edge; that allowed Clay to ram with Edge. Christian also rushed to the ring side to help the World Heavyweight Champion. Christian started
beating Del Rio; Clay stopped Christian and hit him a “Headbutt”. The ultimate opportunist took the advantage of those moments and hit the Spear to Clay. Edge pinned Clay and took the victory after three counts.
When the match ended, Del Rio hit a dropkick on Edge. Christian recovered again and started beating Del Rio. Watching this situation, the SmackDown General Manger Theodore Long appeared on the Entrance Ramp with his music and made
a blockbuster announcement. He announced that Del Rio and Christian will fight one-on-one match. The match would be played in a Steel Cage so that no one could interrupt the match.
