WWE No Way Out Matches : Steel Cage Match > John Cena Vs. BigShow


As the saying goes, desperate times call for desperate measures, and it’s hard to argue that Big Show was anything other than desperate when he jumped ship to People Power and allowed John Laurinaitis to save his own job a mere six days after Big Johnny callously terminated the giant on Raw SuperShow.
Big Show’s appearance at WWE Over the Limit was meant to herald the death bell for Laurinaitis’ much-maligned movement, but the giant planted his signature WMD against the face of John Cena instead, helping Mr. Excitement retain his job and keep People Power chugging along. And with The World’s Largest Athlete reinstated by a grateful Laurinaitis and Cena looking to settle the score, it’s only right that the two should face off one-on-one at No Way Out, and even more so that they should do so inside the confines of a steel cage.
Cena and Big Show have, it should be noted, a more contentious history than the WWE Universe might remember. The giant famously chokeslammed Cena through a spotlight at Backlash 2009, and The World’s Largest Athlete clashed with The Cenation Leader over the United States Championship at WrestleMania XX (Cena won that contest, relieving the giant of the title). Big Show had worked prior to Over the Limit at keeping the WWE Universe in his good graces, but as the giant announced on Raw SuperShow the night after Over the Limit, he seems to feel his efforts have been unreciprocated.
Show claimed that Cena and the WWE Universe were not qualified to judge him, and his decision was made for love of the business and the security of his new, "ironclad" contract. He did what he had to do, despite the steepness of the price.
The price may yet get steeper, though. With Cena’s nemesis still running the show, and with a 7-foot wrecking ball at his disposal to boot, Cena is looking to make Show answer for his actions. After all, as the other saying goes, what goes around comes around, and The World’s Largest Athlete might well find it’s time to pay the piper when he meets Cena one-on-one.

WWE No Way Out Matches : World Heavywieght Championship > Sheamus Vs. Alberto DelRio


Mexican Aristocrat Alberto Del Rio will vie for SmackDown’s richest prize at No Way Out, when he challenges Sheamus one-on-one for the vaunted World Heavyweight Championship.

After Sheamus impressively retained his title against Del Rio, Randy Orton and Chris Jericho in a hellacious Fatal 4-Way Match at WWE Over the Limit, there was one question that undoubtedly lingered in the minds of every Superstar in the SmackDown locker room: Who would emerge as the next challenger to The Great White’s World Heavyweight Championship? Ultimately, the answer came in the form of a No. 1 Contender’s Triple Threat Match on the May 25 edition of SmackDown. (PHOTOS)

Per John Laurinaitis’ Executive Administrator Eve, the WWE Universe witnessed Orton, Del Rio and the monstrous Kane battle it out to determine who would face Sheamus at No Way Out – the first of such pay-per-view events since 2009. When Daniel Bryan distracted Kane during the bout, the preoccupied Big Red Monster ate an RKO from Orton that seemed to seal a victory for The Viper. However, Del Rio would soon capitalize by breaking up the pinfall and stealing a three-count victory over the prone Kane. The Mexican Aristocrat was quick to gloat about his questionably earned win, but Sheamus cut the celebration short when he ambushed Del Rio from behind on the entrance ramp.

“I can’t wait to kick your head off at No Way Out!” The Great White warned as Del Rio writhed on the steel grating. A clearer statement could not have been made that night.

Over the years, Sheamus has cemented himself as one of the most dominant brawlers in WWE, but he would be wise not to underestimate Del Rio. A two-time WWE Champion, Del Rio has craftily dispatched the likes of Rey Mysterio, Big Show and John Cena, using his keen intellect, technical proficiency and ruthless demeanor to keep even the most decorated WWE Superstars on notice.

Although sidelined due to injury last December, The Mexican Aristocrat fixed his gaze on the World Heavyweight Championship – and its bearer – immediately upon returning to SmackDown this past April. At No Way Out on Sunday, June 17, live on pay-per-view, Del Rio will finally get the one-on-one World Heavyweight Championship opportunity he has long felt entitled to – and Sheamus will face the level of competition he always craves.

Brodus Clay came in and said he heard Show was talking behind his back, and told him to say it to his face. Brodus said to pick him as his opponent tonight and he'd give Show something else to cry about. Show told Brodus to forget about dancing, since he won't be walking after tonight. Show left, and Clay's dancers came into the scene with him.

John Laurinaitis rode out to the ring on his scooter, with Eve and David Otunga with him. He unveiled the cover of the new WWE 13 video game which had his picture on the front. He said the game will be bigger than "Pac-Man" and kids will love it. CM Punk came out to interrupt and had the real cover shown, as a huge banner dropped down which showed him on the real game cover. He told Laurinaitis the Board of Directors is watching his every move so don't give them more ammunition. He told JL to get out of the ring since he has a match next against Daniel Bryan. JL wished him good luck. After he left the ring, Punk kicked the Laurinaitis poster of the game set up in the ring.

Daniel Bryan defeated CM Punk by pinfall in a non-title match. AJ came to ringside for the match wearing a Punk t-shirt. At one point in the match, Bryan pulled a turnbuckle cover off and the ref didn't see it. AJ got on the apron to tell the ref but he yelled at her to get down. Punk told her she couldn't be out there like that. Punk ran at Bryan after, but Bryan picked him up and dropped Punk on the exposed turnbuckle before pinning him.

Christian showed the belt to Cody Rhodes who left to go backstage.

They had a backstage segment in Laurinaitis' office where he talked to Eve and Otunga. Eve sent Teddy Long away to go get coffee for her. JL told Eve and Otunga he was disappointed in recent events on Smackdown and needed to know he can count on them. They said he can. Teddy returned with a coffee for Eve. She spit it out on him saying it was cold, but Teddy told her it was ice coffee.

The Miz stayed in the ring after losing to Christian. He began ranting about how his latest match wasn't even for the Intercontinental title and he wants it stricken from the record books. He said he won the WrestleMania match for Team Johnny, and questioned where his contract, video game cover and championship matches were.

Randy Orton's music hit and he interrupted Miz. Orton came to the ring with Miz talking trash at him. Orton dropped him with the RKO without even saying a word.

They showed Dolph Ziggler backstage with Vickie, pointing to Orton on the monitor. He said that needs to be him, and told Vickie to get him out of the tag team scene and out there by himself.

Sheamus defeated David Otunga by pinfall in a non-title match. They reminded fans that Sheamus will defend his World Championship against Del Rio at No Way Out. Late in the match, Otunga was up on the apron and Sheamus repeatedly bashed his fist on his chest. He followed with White Noise, then backed up to the corner and began pounding his chest. As Otunga got up and turned around, Sheamus connected on the Brogue Kick to take him down for the pinfall.

They showed Brodus Clay walking backstage with his Funkettes dancing by his side. Cole said Brodus won't be walking after his match tonight, according to Big Show.


The Big Show and Brodus Clay match never officially started. Brodus Clay made his entrance with the Fukadactyls. They danced in the ring before Clay's pyro went off. Show's music hit and he arrived out on stage with a mic in his hand. He said he actually admired Clay, and brought up how Show felt like a sellout back at the Wrestlemania he wore a diaper for a sumo match. He said Clay's selling out on a nightly basis. He said maybe Clay can put on some makeup and be the next "Doink the Clown." Show said only thing is Doink actually had talent.

Clay was upset by the trash talk and got down out of the ring to the bottom of the ramp. Show kept talking and then finally rushed down to spear tackle Clay down into the ringside area. He kept beating up on him around the ringside area, with Clay trying to come back with some punches. Show slammed him into the ringpost several times.

Kofi Kingston rushed to the ring and tried to jump off the steel steps at Show. Show caught him mid-air and then saw R-Truth running over, so he threw Kofi onto Truth. The tag team champs were layed out near the barrier, as Show walked over to the commentary table and scared Cole/Lawler away. He stepped through the table to break it, then took one of the side pieces of the table to smash on Brodus Clay.

Show kept tossing everyone around, including throwing Truth against the ropes from the outside of the ring, and tossing Kingston through the timekeepers area. He finally wound up his WMD KO punch and clocked Clay in the face, then glared at the audience.

Cole and Lawler recapped what Show just did, showing replays of all of the big spots. Show walked around the ring and stopped at a fan in the front row holding a Sellout sign. Show's theme song played as he started to walk up the ramp.

John Laurinaitis came out on the stage with his crutch to greet Show. Laurinaitis raised up Show's hand smiling. Cole said things will be different next week when John Cena is back on Raw. Clay was shown layed out ringside before another shot of Show and Laurinaitis was seen as Raw went off air.
