The Smack is being laid Down for us tonight in color commentator Booker T's hometown of Houston Texas. Edge comes out to the ring first to announce that he is going to fight Alberto Del Rio tonight, and he's not giving him any choice in the matter. If he doesn't come out to face him, Edge promises to find him and fight him wherever he is.
Alberto comes out with Brodus Clay and asks Edge if he knows who he is. Edge replies that Alberto is a Ricky Martin look alike trying to reform Manudo with Brodus. Alberto replies that he is the man that hurts Edge every week and is going to replace Edge's legacy with Alberto's destiny.
Edge attacks Alberto and Brodus at the same time, but is flattened by Clay. Christian comes out to help Edge and he gets flattened to. Teddy Long comes out and announces that he's going to make history tonight by putting Edge and Christian, one of the greatest tag teams of all time, in a match tonight for the first time in many years against Alberto Del Rio and Brodus Clay.
Michael Cole announces that he will be conducting the interview of the year later tonight with John Cena.

We're shown a recap of Michael Cole announcing JBL as his special guest referee for his Wrestlemania match with Jerry Lawler. Austin comes out and stuns JBL and signs the contract, making him the special guest referee. Cole is almost in tears asking why, and Austin pours a couple beers over his head.
I think it's silly that when Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler meet each other at WrestleMania, the best performer in that match, by far and in every way, will be the referee.

In the back Christian is being interviewed by Matt Striker. Christian claims that in the last decade we've seen a lot of changes: we've seen Martha Stewart lose her freedom, Janet Jackson lose her bra, and Charlie Sheen lose his mind.
But what we haven't seen in far too long is the team that reeks of awesomeness: Edge and Christian. Edge asks Christian if he's ready, Christian says let's do this.
