This week’s show starts off with a video package about Christian’s dream to become the World Champion. Last Sunday night in Tampa, Christian got his chance to become the World Champion. How long will Christian’s storybook rise to the title last?

We begin with Christian making his way to the ring as the World Champion.

Of course Michael Cole has to rain on Christian’s parade while he enters the ring.

Christian says that he has been waiting seventeen long years to do this and he holds the World Title belt over his head. Christian says that he has dreamt about this moment for his entire career. He dreamt of what he would say and how it would sound, and where it would take place. Those dreams pale in comparison about how it feels to stand here as the new World Heavyweight Champion. He says that he knows that a lot of people helped him to get there. He says that he got a text message from Edge and he told him to enjoy this moment because he earned it.

Christian says that he is enjoying every second of this. He says that he knows that Edge is watching this at home. He says that without Edge there is no Christian. He tells Edge that he loves him.

He also thanks the WWE Universe and his Peeps. They always had his back and believed in him and wanted this moment as much as him and he thanks everyone for being there. Before Edge retired, he said that the title doesn’t belong to any one superstar, it belongs to everyone. He says that Edge was right.

Christian is interrupted by Mark Henry who comes out with a big smile on his face. Mark makes his way to the ring and he congratulates Christian for doing it. He wants to tell Christian that he was cheering for him the entire time, not because he is a fan, but because he wanted to be the first one to get his hands on the World Title.

Christian tells Mark that if he wants his World Title, he needs to know that it is made out of gold and not chocolate.

Mark tells Christian that Edge isn’t here to protect him any more and there is no one to protect him.

Great Khali and Runjin Singh make their way out to the ring and Khali is waving his arms in the air like just doesn’t care. Khali tells Christian something in Hindi and Runjin tells us that he was congratulating him, but he wanted to challenge Christian since he is a former World Champion. A man who has fought pythons and Bengal tigers.

Christian points out that he has the World Strongest Man and the man who was wearing a tutu on Raw in the ring with him challenging him for the World Title. Christian suggests that with another freak, they can run away with the circus.

Cue the Viper’s music and we have our circus party completed.

Orton makes his way to the ring with the classic Orton pace.

Orton tells Christian that he is no freak, but he is Randy Orton. He says that he is new on Smackdown and if this is how you do things, he is not going to let this opportunity get by, he wants to throw his hat into the ring for the World Title.

Teddy Long comes out and he tells the playas that there appears to be a decision that has to be made about who will be the first in line to face Christian for the World Title. Teddy says that he won’t make the decision, instead it is going to be made by the WWE Universe in Orlando.

In a shocking upset, Randy Orton is the man who will get the title match against Christian.

Teddy says that the match will take place tonight.

We go to commercial.

We are back and Runjin is telling Khali that they will get a chance. Jinder Mahal is in the back and he shakes hands with Khali and Singh. Mahal says that things will get a lot better now that he is here. Singh tells Jinder that he has his career under control. Mahal says that it must have been Singh who told Khali to put on the pink tutu since it was under his watch. Singh points out that Khali likes practical jokes. Mahal says that he isn’t condemning him, but he finds the choice interesting.

Cody Rhodes makes his way to the ring and he has his bag men with him as Cody tries to shield his face from the cameras.

We see a photo of Rey Mysterio using questionable means to help him beat Cody Rhodes on Sunday at Extreme Rules.

Cody says that there is a common expression that he is sure that the fans are familiar with. It is adding insult to injury. That is what Rey Mysterio did at Extreme Rules when Rey seared his eyes with the mist. Cody says that he hates that it will reflect as a loss in the record book. However, he exposed Rey Mysterio and forced Rey to expose himself. Rey Mysterio was desperate, gutless, and a coward.

Thankfully he won’t have to deal with the malevolence that pervades from every pore of his body because little Rey has been drafted to Raw. Cody says that his eyes are still burning and still bother him. Even through burning eyes he can see inside and out that everyone are still ugly.

As a service to everyone and at great expense to him, he will provide everyone with paper bags. He wants his assistants to hand them out and some fans are anxious to get one. Cody tells everyone to hide their hideousness and conceal their repugnance. While Cody’s face may repulse people, their ugliness offends him.
