Smackdown starts with Chris Jericho coming down to the ring... mixed reaction when he cuts a great promo about keeping the World Title at WrestleMania 26. Jericho is awesome on the microphone, getting great heat from the crowd. He is Smackdown's best heel by far.
Edge comes out to a huge pop. Edge says that he thinks he should get a rematch right now. Jericho is not taking the bait. Edge starts beating up Jericho and ripping off his clothes to reveal bandaged ribs. Edge then spears Jericho.
Jack Swagger then comes out to cash in MITB. Swagger hit Edge with the briefcase. The bell rings and Swagger WINS THE BELT with a gut-wrench powerbomb. He walks out of the ring with the world title. The crowd is stunned.
Commercial time and Jericho is being helped from the ring. He's in shock. He starts throwing a tantrum up the ramp. The crowd is buzzing.

John Morrison and R Truth vs. Cryme Tyme is next. Very short. Morrison wins with Starship Pain in about 1 minute. Cryme Tyme then turn on each other with Shad looking like he's turning heel and beats up JTG pretty good. JTG gets helped to the back. Looks like Shad is getting a push.
Swagger is backstage with the World Title bragging to anyone who'll listen. He has a short conversation with Shelton Benjamin. Swagger is showing some personality.
They show an interview with Shad about it being his time, not very good.
Drew McIntyre is next vs. Matt Hardy. Hardy is way over. Really quick match with Drew ramming Hardy into post and hitting "The Futureshock" DDT, laying him out.
-Dolph Ziggler defeated Great Khali.
C.M. Punk wants a rematch with Mysterio. He is going to put his hair on the line against Mysterio, who must join the Straight Edge Society if he loses. Mysterio did not appear to accept. This is likely an Extreme Rules PPV match, but it's unclear at this point.
Beth Phoenix and Tiffany beat Layla and Michelle McCool.
