From The American Airlines Center in Miami, Florida:
Hosted by Josh Matthews and John “Bradshaw” Layfield (JBL).
SmackDown! General Manager Booker T decides to create a main event where The Big Show will defend the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Alberto del Rio, much to Big Show’s anger and disgust.
1. A NON-TITLE MATCH: Randy Orton vs. WWE United States Champion Antonio Cesaro.

THE WINNER VIA DISQUALIFICATION: RANDY ORTON!!!
WWE Champion CM Punk and Paul Heyman stood on the field of Sun Life Stadium, the home of both the University of Miami (The U) Hurricanes, and the NFL’s Miami Dolphins. He wore The Rock’s football jersey that he wore as a member of The U’s football team. He mentioned how The U’s old stadium the Orange Bowl was demolished, and stated how it’s symbolizes that The Rock is not a part of WWE anymore, and that it’s his home now.
2. A MIXED TAG TEAM MATCH: Dolph Ziggler and A.J. Lee with Big E Langston vs. The Great Khali and Natalya Neidhart with Hornswoggle.
THE WINNERS: DOLPH ZIGGLER AND A.J. LEE.
The Rock arrived, and insulted CM Punk for demeaning Miami, and announced that the popular rap music star Flo Rida was in attendance. Rock stated how during his time at The U, he and his teammates, NFL heroes Warren Sapp and the retiring Ray Lewis worked hard to be respected. As The Rock was talking, Team Rhodes Scholars (Damien Sand0w and Cody Rhodes) interrupted him. They insulted him, and he insulted them right back. Damien Sandow expressed his frustration about how he was unable to find an apprentice, so he decided to ask Rock three questions. He answers two questions correctly, but Rock decides to ask him the third question:
THE ROCK: What happens when you combine a group of minerals with its lowest form?
DAMIEN SANDOW: A Rock Bottom.
THE ROCK: Exactly!
After that, Damien Sandow was hit with the Rock Bottom, and delivers both a spinebuster, and The People’s Elbow to Cody Rhodes!!!
3. Heath Slater with Jinder Mahal and Drew McIntyre vs. Sheamus.
THE WINNER: SHEAMUS!!!
