Opening Credits.
Commentary: We are at the final stop before Wrestlemania, with the possibility that this could be the final episode of Smackdown, the show is packed with top quality matches, including Daniel Bryan and Paul Heyman preparing for this Sunday by being involved in Beat the Clock matches, with the winner choosing the stipulation for their match at Wrestlemania..................CM Pubk teams with Bully Ray to take on the recently betrayed Randy Orton and the TNA Title challenger this Sunday, Bobby Lashley..................and the Womens Title is on the line as the champion, Summer Rae defends against the monstrous Kharma..............
Promo: Just then, Paul Heyman strides out with Bully Ray, CM Punk, Brock Lesnar and Kurt Angle in tow........................
Heyman then announces that this Sunday, TNA will stand tall, ending the WWE's existence, then he individually talks about each man in the ring.............CM Pubk will end the career of Triple H, Bully Ray will walk out of Wrestlemania with both his championships, and Brock ~Lesnar will not only conquer John Cena, but also the entire WWE when he wins this Sunday................
now he goes onto his match with Daniel Bryan this Sunday, and how tonight he will name the stipulation, however he will not be competing in the Beat the Clock challenge tonight, instead Kurt Angle will be taking his place........................
As the commentary discuss Heyman's obnoxiousness because him stepping in the ring with Daniel Bryan this Sunday will be a complete mis-match..............
And now we start the night off with the aforementioned Beat the clock Challenge as Daniel Bryan attempts to set a target when he takes on Hernandez..............
Daniel Bryan v Hernandez w/ Homocide
Winner: Daniel Bryan via Pinfall in 7 minutes 30 Seconds.
Backstage Promo: Triple H addresses the upcoming match this Sunday with CM Punk, he accepts that his career will be on the line, but what Punk has failed to acknowledge is this, due to his betrayal of the WWE, on the assumption that WWE will still be standing after Wrestlemania, the fact is unless Punk wins on Sunday............he will be the one who's career ends, because Mr McMahon has already decided that Punk will NOT be re-hired......................and with that, the match at Wrestlemania will now be a career vs career I Quit Match.
Coming up next, Kharma finally gets her Women's Title match against Summer Rae, but Summer Rae has an equaliser in the form of bodyguard, Nia Jax, the woman who last week faced Kharma...........
(c) Summer Rae w/ Nia Jax v Kharma w/ Maria

Winner and STILL Women's Champion: Summer Rae via Pinfall.
Post Match: Maria storms back down to the ring, and then without hesitating gets in Kharma's face,, she is fuming, she claims Kharma as a failure, and then turns and storms back out................Kharma meanwhile appears to be in shock at her defeat..............
Backstage: For the 2nd week in a row, Christian & Chris Jerico are talking..............but once again, the conversation isn't picked up by the microphones.................however it is now confirmed that Jericho will be facing Heyman's representative Kurt Angle later tonight...............
Promo: Team 3D are in the ring, Bully Ray repeats that this Sunday, he has to compete twice, once against Bobby Lashley for his TNA World Title, but before that he and D;Von defend the TNA Tag Titles against Motor City Machine Guns................but Bully is looking forward to it, especially when they put Motor City through some wood............but then out come Motor City.................Alex Shelley reminds Bully Ray, that Motor City are undefeated against Team 3D, and this Sunday will be no different..............but that's enough talking, time for a preview..............
and then Motor City head to the ring........but before they get there they are jumped from behind by the WWE Tag Team Champions, Beer Money............
after beating Motor City down, they send their limp bodies into the ring where Team 3 D wait............................and as Sabin & Shelley climb back to their feet, they are immediately knocked back down by Team 3D using their Tag Team Championships................
Backstage: Scott Steiner confronts Titus O Neill......................after defeating Jinder last week, it dawned on Steiner that WWE has too many wasters and losers on the payroll....................and he's going to do WWE a favor by removing these people................starting next week with Titus O Neill................
Coming up next Randy Orton seeks payback when he teams with Bobby Lashley to take on CM Punk & Bully Ray.
Randy Orton & Bobby Lashley v CM Punk & Bully Ray
Mid Match: Illegal members Bobby Lashley & Bully Ray end up in a fight outside the ring, which goes all the way to the top of the entrance ramp...............where Lashley spears Bully Ray off the stage, sending them both plummetting to the ground just 48 hours before Wrestlemania..............in the ring realising Punk has no one to tag out, is suddenly hit from out of nowhere by the RKO!!!!!!
Winners: Randy Orton & Bobby Lashley via Pinfall by Randy Orton on CM Punk.
Post Match: As Punk clambers back to his feet..................he is hit again by a 2nd RKO..............,..a semblance of payback has been achieved by Randy Orton...............and then THE GAME rocks the arena, and out walks Triple H............he gives a thumbs up to Randy Orton, then signals towards CM Punk with the thumbs down..........
Backstage Promo: Up next Kurt Angle will take on Chris Jericho, and if Angle wins in less than 7 and a half minutes, then Paul Heyman chooses the stipulation for his Wrestlemania match with Daniel Bryan.................and Heyman is feeling extremely confident.
Then Heyman announces that the future conqueror of WWE, the World Heavyweight Champion, Brock Lesnar is feeling generous, in tonights Main Event, he will issue an open challenge for the Title to any WWE Superstaer in the back who has not faced Lesnar in the last year............which automatically rules out the likes of Triple H, Big Show and Lesnar;s opponent this Sunday.......John Cena............
Kurt Angle w/ Paul Heyman v Chris Jericho
Mid Match: With time ticking down, Heyman signalled for re-inforcements, and out to ringside came Homicide & Hernandez, however Jericho was prepared, performing a Flying Cross Body over the top rope, he wiped them out.....................celebrated with the crowd and then with the referee trying to send L.A.X backstage.......Jericho was struck by a member of the WWE UUniverse..............taking full advantage, Angle whipped Jericho back into the ring..................
Winner: Kurt Angle via Pinfall in 5 minutes 13 seconds..
Post Match: The camera pans over to the mystery man in the audience, who reveals himself to be David Otunga!!!!!!
Meanwhile in the ring, Heyman revels in the moment, he can now name the stipulation for this Sunday................Heyman lists a number of stipulations, Extreme Rules......too obvious, Special Referee.......too bland.............how about a four corners match!
then he mentions how he's sad that Brie Bella is missing, because a Handicap match, where Brie would join Bryan would be perfect, as Bryan watched from ringside while he pinned his wife..................
then he reveals the real stipulation, knowing how badly Bryan wants Heyman, this Sunday Bryan will have to beat 2 TNA Superstars in order to achieve that feat in a No DQ GAUNTLET Match...............
Backstage: Jinder Mahal is seen in deep conversation with X-Pac...................looks like an alliance has been formed.

Backstage: Layla then runs into Summer Rae & Nia Jax backstage, and reminds Summer that she stil has a rematch for the Women's Title outstanding, and after becoming Knockouts Champion this Sunday, she'll then be coming for the Womens Title...........
But coming up next it's time for the Main Event, and as Heyman & Lesnar make their way to the ring, the questio is, which WWE Superstar is going to step up to the challenge, an potentially become the NEW World Heavyweight Champion?

Post Match: Jeff Hardy though is not finished with Kofi, going in again for a further beating on Kofi...............but then John Cena leaps from the announce table and clears Jeff Hardy out of the ring..........saving Kofi from injury, as it turns out though, that was Kofi's opportunity that he earnt 3 weeks ago, so how will Kofi react to Jeff Hardy stealing his moment...................
As Micheal Cole begins to close the show though, Brock Lesnar returns to the ring, and from behind assaults both Cena and Kingston, before standing over his opponent this Sunday, John Cena, holding the World Title aloft................
