SMACKDOWN REPORT 7/9

We start off this week’s show with a look back at the match between Big Show and Jack Swagger from two weeks ago. This is followed up with what Jack Swagger did to Rey Mysterio last week after the main event. What is next for Swagger?
We are live on tape from Atlanta, Georgia and your announcers are Matt ‘Schiavone’ Striker and Todd ‘Crockett’ Grisham.
Drew McIntyre is in the ring, back from his deportation, and he has something to say. Before he can say anything, he is interrupted by Smackdown General Manager Teddy Long. Teddy has a smile on his face while Drew has a serious look on his face.
Teddy wants to know what Drew is doing here because he remembers Drew being deported. Drew says that two weeks ago his visa expired, but all of his citizenship issues have been resolved. Drew says that what hasn’t been resolved is the relationship between the two of them. Drew calls Teddy ‘Mr. Long’. Drew says that he came to a realization that he has wronged Teddy in so many ways. He says that he knows that it is never too late to say ‘I’m sorry’. Teddy tells Drew that it is never too early to say that you’re a liar. Teddy says that it is obvious. Drew used to have Mr. McMahon in his back pocket, but now that he is not here any more, there will be no more special privileges for Drew. For the first time since he debuted on Smackdown, he will be on the same playing field.
Drew says that he couldn’t agree with Mr. Long more. Drew says that he wanted to let Teddy know that he is personally nominating Teddy for a spot in the Class of 2011 for the WWE Hall of Fame. Drew says that Wrestlemania weekend is going to be huge for Atlanta. He wants Teddy to think about getting his Hall of Fame ring in his home town while Drew McIntyre main events Wrestlemania. Teddy says that Drew got one thing right. Wrestlemania will be a big thing in Hotlanta. Teddy says that he would love nothing more than to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Teddy tells Drew that the only way he would be World Champion is if he won the Money in the Bank match. Teddy tells Drew that he thinks he can win the match. Drew thanks Mr. Long. Teddy tells Drew that there is one thing that he would like Drew to do. Teddy tells Drew to get on his knees and beg for it. Drew wants to know if Teddy is serious. Teddy tells Drew exactly how it is done and we see the footage from a few weeks ago when Teddy had to beg to keep his job.
Teddy tells Drew if he wants to be the Chosen One so bad, he can get down on his knees. The crowd chants for Drew to get ‘on your knees’ and he thinks about it and then does it. Teddy tells Drew to repeat after him. Teddy tells Drew to say that Teddy is the most handsome, debonair, high class, sharp dressed, and intelligent. Teddy tells Drew that he wants Drew to say that it is an honor and a privilege to have Teddy Long as his boss.
Drew wants to know that he is now in the Money in the Bank Match. Teddy tells Drew that he is not in the match right now. Teddy tells Drew that if he wants to get into the match, he has to earn it. Drew will have to beat a man he doesn’t have a lot of luck with. That man is Kofi Kingston. Teddy wishes Drew luck.
