Opening Credits.
Commentary: As the WWE enters a new season following Wrestlemania, and night 2 of the 2013 WWE Draft, but for the former TNA recruits, tonight they take part in a Battle Royal to determine which one will be receiving a guaranteed 1 year contract with WWE, with no possibility of being released for the entirety of said contract.
But we start the night off with WWE Chairman, Mr McMaon striding down to the ring.
Promo: Mr McMahon is in a joyous mood looking forward to the huge show that WWE will provide tonight, he guarantees massive debuts for Smackdown and huge shake ups...............and one huge shake up in particular involves the General Manager of Smackdown, due to what Mr McMahon perceives as incompetency during the TNA Invasion, such as suspending huge WWE Superstars such as Dolph Ziggler, Cesaro and Alberto Del Rio; the latter of which was also allowed to run his contract down; allowing major Title Holders to jump onto the TNA ship, and bringing back Kharma just so she could also betray WWE .
Teddy Long is no more, instead for the next 4 weeks Smackdown will have guest hosts, while Mr McMahon decides who will become the new Smackdown Manager after Extreme Rules..............
Backstage Interview: Charley Caruso speaks with Big Show, who later tonight will go once more face Matt Hardy in Tag Team Action, as Hardy hopes to claim payback for Big Show's assault 2 weeks ago, but will this be the climax to their feud?
Big Show claims there is no feud, Matt Hardy just can't keep out of his business............he claims though that tonight this will end..............badly for Matt Hardy.
Commentary: As Cole & King discuss The Big Show, suddenly the Titantron bursts into sound, with the Entrance Music of Alberto Del Rio..............and out strides Ricardo Rodriguez.................
Promo: Straight to the point, Ricardo announces that he is tonight's Guest Host, and tonight he guarantees a huge return to Friday Night Smackdown...............
And now onto the first match of the night...........
Fandango v Christian
Winner: Fandango via Pinfall.
Post Match: Fandango's celebrations are then cut short by the arrival of one of Smackdown's newest recruits...............Sting!!!!!!!!
Promo: From the stage entrance, Sting addresses the huge Battle Royal later tonight, where after his humbling defeat to The Undertaker at Wrestlemania, he has to come out on top, he now realises why he was put on this earth, to entertain the fans, the old BLACK AND WHITE Stinger is back................and he's going nowhere...................
But now it;s time for the first Draft pick for Night 2 of the 2013 Draft.

Brie Bella is drafted to Monday Night Raw.
Backstage: Layla confonts still Knockouts Champion, Gail Kim, irate at the fact that Gail Kim retained the title via Disqualification, as a result she demands a rematch, but Gail refuses, claiming that she holds this Title because she is the only woman on Smackdown, that is a credible wrestler, and then into the picture comes Kharma....................shoving Layla aside she confronts Gail Kim, she claims that if credibility is what Gail Kim is after, then look no furthrt, reminding Gail of the massive clashes they have had while in TNA, and now while she enjoyed beating down the WWE Diva's, now that the TNA alliance is over.....................Kharma has other plans, to become the Knockouts Champion, reminding Gail Kim of the real Kharma..............
and then suddenly all hell breaks out between the 3 women....................
which is only broken up when WWE Security and officials intervene, to seperate the battling women..............
Promo: Out to the ring come WWE Women's Champion Summer Rae accompanied by Nia Jax................
Summer claims to be the only female champion that matters, the only Champion to hold off every challenge from the TNA Wannabe Summer Rae's..................as a result she demands that the WWE Universe give her a rousing standing ovation......................which doesn't happen, instead she is greeted by jeers instead.
this obviously irks her, claiming that she will remain champion till she decides to vacate it, before going onto claim that the WWE Universe;s favorite Brie Bella will now no longer get her undeserved Title shot since she's no longer on Smackdown................if she ever returns from wherever she's been hiding for the last month.
Summer then prepares to leave, when out to the ring strides Natalya freshly drafted to Smackdown this past Monday................
Straight to the point, Natalya claims that since Summer apparently doesn't have a challenger..............then she's here to step up...........
it appears that things are about to break down in the ring............but this is prevented by the arrival of Guest Host, Ricardo Rodriguez..........
Ricardo claims everyone needs to cool down, Natalya needs to get used to her new surroundings.................because Summer Rae will NOT be defendong the Women's Title against Natalya, to which Summer smiles gleefully, but her smile faded when Ricardo informed her that is because she will be defending the Title at Extreme Rules against....................the current Number 1 Contender...................Brie Bella!!!!!!!
Backstage: Brock Lesnar is seen with Maria...............
Lesnar is irate that as the WWE World Champion, he is still having to compete in the Battle Royal later tonight, because the fact is he should automatically be given a WWE Contract because they need him to boost their ratings...............
he blames John Cena, and claims after he wins the Battle Royal, he will seek out John Cena..............guaranteeing that by the end of the show, Cena will no longer be on Smackdown................
Meanwile Maria claims that at least he has a fighting chance, unlike her...........it turns out that she was the only former TNA Knockout NOT to be offered a Smackdown contract.............apparently having to prove to the WWE Higher ups that she deserves one..................this irritates her, she claims she's proved herself already, by running the women's division for the last few months, and in her first run in WWE she did everything they asked, even backstage interviews..................then suddenly she paused...............before leaving quickly thereafter.............
Coming up next The Big Show and Matt Hardy aim to settle their differences in Tag Team action........
Big Show & X-Pac v Matt Hardy & Kofi Kingston
Winners: Big Show & X-Pac via Pinfall by Big Show on Matt Hardy.
Post Match: As Big Show and X-Pac make their way to the back, Ricardo Rodriguez walks out, microphone in hand and announces "The Time has come............they have returned"................and then from out of nowhere Matt Hardy & Kofi Kingston are set upon.............ny the returning from suspension.................Dolph Ziggler and Cesaro!!!!!!!!
After that shocking return, the WWE Draft Continues...................

Big E is drafted to Friday Night Smackdown.
Backstage: Nia Jax confronts Natalya............she informs Natalya that here on Smackdown newcomers start at the bottom before making challenges for the main title.............
to which Natalya claims that in that case obviously the next step on the ladder to success.............would be occupied by Nia Jax herself.............so next week she'll take that step by facing Nia in the ring................refusing to answer, Nia walks away
Backstage Interview: Joining Charley Caruso, returning from injury, the Intercontinental Champion, Mark Henry..................having to compete in tonights Battle Royal and his decision to turn on WWE and the recent release of CM Punk questions are aimed at him.
Mark Henry replies he has no regrets, except that Triple H; the man responsible for injuring him at Elimination Chamber and CM Punk's release; is no longer on Smackdown to be enrolled into his Hall of Pain. however in tonight's Battle Royal he has no allegiances, everyone in that match has to deal with him!!!!
Promo: Out in the ring, Jinder Mahal claims with the new era come younger, talented stars, almost as good as himself.
The days of old fat sweaty meatheads like Scott Steiner are over............2 weeks ago he gave Steiner the option to retire with dignity, however Steiner refused...........so this week he's calling Steiner out for a fight............and this time he will be retired..............
Almost immediately Steiner responds........charging down to the ring...............and then Jinder retreated out of the ring.....................then while Steiner called him back. he was suddenly jumped by X-Pac..............however that didn't last long as Steiner recovered to eventually send X-Pac out of the ring over the ropes.............as Jinder and X-Pac retreated, Steiner grabbed a mic, then demanded that since he's now out here, send his opponent out for his beating.
Titus O Neill v Scott Steiner
Winner: Titus O Neill via Pinfall.
Post Match: Titus leaves the ring looking very happy, Steiner however sat in the middle of the ring with a perplexed look, with a clear anger rising.
And then the Titantron flashes up, it's time for the next Draft pick of the night................

Backstage: Watching a monitor, Bully Ray is joined by D;Von Dudley, following their successful title defences at Wrestlemania, the belief is that whatever happens in the Battle Royal later tonight, they are money and as such WWE knows it...................they've even drafted Lashley to Raw, as a result.
Plans are already made for a party later tonight, but then in walks Randy Orton..................who has not forgotten Bully Ray's part in the ambush by CM Punk 2 weeks ago.
He claims that when the door closed on Lashley, another door opened, and he has decided to walk through it..............and since WWE have plans for the TNA World Championship...........that means he also has plans for it.
Bully Ray responds by informing Orton, that he defends the title when he wants and he also chooses who.
Promo: Out to the ring comes newly drafted United States Champion...........then addresses his United States Title defence at Extreme Rules.
Referring to the claims made by the WWE Universe that Swagger will lose, because Smackdown can't have both the US and Intercontinental Titles, he belittles the claim..............claiming that he will beat Ryback AGAIN, and that;s that.
However he does believe that WWE may well ship the Intercontinental Title off to Raw, after Mark Henry fails to win the Battle Royal later, then WWE can fire him and give Monday Night Raw a consolation prize................
and with that, Swagger then claims to show Smackdown what they've been missing, by issuing an open challenge.................
after a short while, out strides Daniel Bryan, fresh from crushing Paul Heyman on Sunday...............and the match is on...........
Daniel Bryan v Jack Swagger
Winner: Jack Swagger via Submission.
Post Match: A great match up, but now here comes the penultimate pick of the 2013 WWE Draft..................

Kane has been drafted to Friday Night Smackdown
In ring Interview: Charley Caruso stands in the ring................she is out here to speak with the two men who this past Sunday were involved in ultimately a losing attempt to win the TNA Tag Titles........Motor City Machine Guns!!!!
They admit Sunday was a dissappointment, but they won't stand still, the only way is forward, and considering Beer Money chose to attack them last week on this very show, then they have decvided the time has come to cash in their automatic WWE Tag Team Title shot they won by winning their season of NXT............and they want it at Extreme Rules!!!!!
then the interview is over, as they leave................but then out to the ring strides Maria, microphone in hand she confronts Charley...............
she doesn't like Charley, she tells her she is a cheap backstage reporter, Maria was the original, Maria is the first lady of professional wrestling, and she;s going to take Charley down.................and this is just the start!!!!
Charley looks shocked, but worse is to come, Maria turns to leave, then quickly turns back and slaps Charley across the face, knocking her to the ground.............then Maria storms out................
clearly Maria has lost control of her senses.............
GM Office: Following the attack last week by David Otunga in the crowd, Jericho requests Ricardo Rodriguez to inform WWE Management that he wants Otunga rehired...........so he can kick his ass.................Ricardo agrees to pass the message on.
Backstage: Daniel Bryan passes Kurt Angle in the corridor, Angle despite Bryan's defeat was impressed by Bryan's fight. He see's huge potential in him and reveals a huge amount of respect, now that the invasion is over Angle feels he can once again be himself, not a puppet for Heyman.
And now it's time for the Main Event.................but first
