World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus beat Dolph Ziggler for the second time in a week on SmackDown, putting his No Way Out opponent away following a Brogue Kick.

A fall-away slam against the security barricade set the tone for an intense rematch between Ziggler and Sheamus. Sheamus remained on the attack when he rammed Ziggler head-first against the ring steps.

Vickie Guerrero was able to draw Sheamus attention away for a second – just long enough for Ziggler to regain his composure and put Sheamus down with a legdrop bulldog on the outside of the ring.

The Show Off kept his momentum up with a couple of neckbreakers and a sleeper hold, but Sheamus was able to battle back and set Ziggler up for White Noise before being rolled up for a count of two.

A big DDT from Ziggler put Sheamus down for a moment, but the Celtic Warrior took to the top rope in no time and sailed toward Ziggler with a shoulderblock.

Sheamus stayed on top of Ziggler with his Irish Hand Grenade strikes on the apron, before hauling Ziggler back into the ring an blasting him with the Brogue Kick to pick up his second straight win against the Show Off.

Big Show began SmackDown with the announcement he would be taking part in this year's Money in the Bank ladder match. The giant was unable to say much more on the matter though, as Brodus Clay took to the ring.

Clay was clearly looking to avenge the WMD he suffered weeks ago that had him banished to SmackDown, but was cut off by Big Show as he entered the ring.

As if Big Show would have been unable to get the better of The Funkasaurus anyway, David Otunga blindsided Clay with a chop-block that took out his knee, allowing Big Show to finish his assault with a WMD knockout blow to Clay.

Money in the Bank poster-boy Alberto Del Rio met Intercontinental Champion Christian in non-title action, and both men took each other to the limit.

Christian tried to finish Del Rio with a spear, but ran straight into a superkick from the Mexican aristocrat. Captain Charisma was still able to stop Del Rio from hitting the cross-armbreaker though, and tried to hit the Killswitch instead.

Del Rio struggled free and allowed Christian to climb to the top rope before bringing him back to the mat with an enzuigiri off the top rope. Del Rio then locked in the cross-armbreaker and forced Christian to tap out.

Christian's night was not over yet, when Cody Rhodes rushed to the ring to apply a Fujiwara armbar to the already injured arm of the Intercontinental Champion. Rhodes then rammed Christian shoulder-first into the ring post.

While neither man was successful at No Way Out, Daniel Bryan and Kane found themselves in one-on-one action, with AJ serving as the guest timekeeper.

Bryan managed to ground Kane and trap him in the Yes Lock after a back-and-forth battle. Kane crawled toward the ropes, and almost had hold of the bottom one when the ring bell sounded, prompting Bryan to release the hold and begin celebrating what he thought was a win.

When the referee explained the match was not over, despite a premature bell from AJ, Bryan missed a dropkick in the corner and was drilled with a chokeslam to officially bring the contest to an end.
