Drew McIntyre came to the ring. Before he could speak, Teddy Long made his way to the ring. Drew said his citizenship issues are resolved. On his flight home, he realized he has wronged Long and it's never to late to say I'm sorry. Teddy called him a liar. No more special privileges without Vince McMahon.
McIntyre said he is nominating Teddy for the WWE Hall of Fame. Teddy gets his ring and Drew headlines WrestleMania in Atlanta. Teddy said that could happen if McIntyre wins Money in the Bank. He said McIntyre can get in the match if he gets on his knees and begs.
A video played from three weeks ago when Teddy had to do the exact same thing. The crowd chanted "on your knees." Drew went to his knees, said Teddy is handsome, high class, and intelligent. He also said it's an honor and privilege to have Teddy as his boss. However, Teddy still didn't add him to MIB. Teddy said Drew can get in the MIB if he beats Kofi Kingston tonight.
1. Dolph Ziggler defeated Chavo Guerrero and MVP in a three-way qualifying match for the MIB spot. Vickie Guerrero was on commentary. Five minutes in, Chavo was torn on who to pin. Vickie left the table to confront Chavo. Dolph attacked him from behind. Chavo recovered for Three Amigos on Dolph. Vickie pulled out the ref when MVP was about to pin Chavo. Dolph used the sleeper on MVP to win in 7:57.
An Alberto del Rio vignette was shown. It was similar to last week. Lots of "what" chants.
Rey Mysterio was shown being evaluated by a doctor. Dr. Sampson says there is a ligament tear grade 2 or 3. Mysterio said he is in lots of pain. Swagger barged into the room and put Mysterio in the ankle lock while dragging him down the hall. Swagger slung Rey into concrete wall. He put him back in the ankle lock and dragged him to the arena. Big Show came out and chased him away. Show carried Rey to the back.
2. Vance Archer and Curt Hawkins defeated Christian and Matt Hardy. Hardy reached for a tag and Christian pulled him over the top rope. Christian walked out on Hardy, who was pinned by Archer (I think).
3. Drew McIntyre defeated Kofi Kingston to qualify for the Money in the Bank match. Back forth, lots of near falls. McIntyre exposed the middle turnbuckle and then rammed Kofi into it, almost exposing Kofi's front jewels for all to see. Finisher and McIntyre is in the MIB at 10:12.
Another Alberto del Rio vignette plays. More "what" chants.
Luke Gallows and C.M. Punk came to the ring. Gallows called out Serena. She came out and said it has been the hardest week of her life. Punk meant everything to her. She did the only thing she is good at doing-making mistakes. She said she did it to save and protect him from Kane.
Serena pleaded for forgiveness. Gallows called her pathetic, and said she is more addicted to attention than booze and she needs to go away and never turn back. Punk said it's not Gallows decision, it's his and he forgives her. Gallows left the ring. Serena promised to never disappoint him again. Punk says she better not. They embrace. Gallows looked on from the ramp unapprovingly.
4. "Dashing" Cody Rhodes defeated JTG. Cody has a new entrance video. He actually stops to look in a "mirror". Cody won with a swinging neck breaker at 2:36.
Kelly Kelly was interviewed backstage. It was announced that she will take on Layla at MIB PPV. Layla interrupted and said only way Kelly can beat her is if she passes out from her smell. Kelly slapped Layla, and McCool came to the rescue. LayCool beat down on Kelly Kelly.
Big Show was interviewed by Josh Matthews. Show said he never felt pain like the ankle lock. He said Rey is suffering right now. Show knows how Rey feels. He is 100 percent now. He said tonight he would put fear in Jack Swagger and makes him suffer.
5. Jack Swagger fought Big Show to a double count out at 2:58. Big Show dominated the match. His chest slaps are really loud live. They fought to the top of the ramp. Swagger knocked down Show and then headed backstage. Kane grabbed Swagger and took him into a red room and accused him of injuring the Undertaker. Swagger denied it and said he has an alibi and will prove it next week. Kane said if there is any doubt, Swagger will be condemned to hell.
This concluded the Smackdown taping.

Full Story Behind Carlito’s Departure from WWE
Former WWE wrestler Carlito Colon says he was miserable and depressed at the end of his WWE run before the company released him in May. He says being released was the best thing that’s happened to him in three years.
“I had been asking for my release for a long time. I tried to finish up my contract, which I think was up in August. I had been trying to leave for about three years. For the last year, I was just miserable. I wasn’t even myself. I was dying just to get away,” Carlito said on the Right After Wrestling Sirius satellite radio show on Monday.
WWE’s stated reason for releasing Carlito was a violation of the Wellness Policy. WWE also said Carlito refused to enter rehab. Carlito claims he didn’t have a problem and was simply depressed working in WWE.
“I wouldn’t say I got myself fired on purpose, but in that last year, I really didn’t care. I wanted to get away,” Carlito said.
“They wanted me to go to rehab. My opinion was I didn’t need it. I’m not addicted to pills. I think what happened is I was depressed. That thing just creeps up on you. I have scripts (for pain medication); I have legit reasons for using them. I think I was abusing them as anti-depressants instead. I remember other people not in WWE would tell me to go to rehab because it looks good on paper. I said, ‘One, I don’t want to keep my job. Two, I’m not going to admit to a problem I don’t have.’”
Also in the interview, Carlito vented considerably about the political mind games he felt WWE was constantly playing with him. Carlito used the satellite radio format to vent about feeling like he wasn’t being used properly on TV.
“I was always grinding. I was always working. Mainly, I think – this is satellite radio, right? Mainly, my big problem was I thought they were f—– with me. I didn’t like the mind games and all the bulls— they were putting me through,” Carlito said. “Maybe it was all in my head, but I just felt that’s what they were doing with me. I could never get a straight answer. I get sometimes you have to take a backseat, but how long am I supposed to sit in the back?”
Carlito also addressed the reports that he gained a reputation for being lazy. He says he was frustrated when WWE tried to turn him babyface because he prefers playing heel and he didn’t want to play political games, which created a perception that he didn’t care about his job.
“They turned me babyface and I refused to be a babyface. It wasn’t that I was being lazy, but it wasn’t just me,” Carlito said. “I’m a little disgruntled with the business. I actually have a lot of passion for the business, but I get to the point where I’m very frustrated with certain things. I’m a very vocal person. I don’t keep my mouth shut. I don’t kiss anybody’s ass. I like to give input and if I don’t agree with something, I’m not going to just stand by and keep my mouth shut.”
Besides feeling depressed, Carlito says one of the main reasons why he was trying to leave WWE was because he felt he was wasting his prime earning years in WWE. Asked about whether he’ll go to TNA, Carlito said he’s open to whatever is available.
“I’m open to whatever. I’m listening to offers. The main problem I had with WWE is I didn’t want to spend my prime years doing nothing. It was ridiculous what they were doing with me. I refuse to spend my good years doing stupidity. I don’t want to be that old guy always looking for his chance to keep the young guys down. I want to have my run and give back to the business,” Carlito said.
“I remember people would tell me to just play the game. I can’t. I can’t just play the game. I can’t be fake. … I love the business; I just don’t like the politics. I want to be able to help out and give back in somehow. In WWE, I wasn’t doing any of that.”
Some other highlights of Carlito’s interview:
– On his brother, Primo: “I try not to influence him and let him have his own perspective. He’s young and enjoying it. Right now, he’s having a ball. I wish him the best. I don’t try to put all my negativity on him. At the end, I was just bitter and miserable. It wasn’t me. I was just going off on people and I was just so friggen’ frustrated.”
– On what he would like to say to WWE fans: “My main thing is I just want to have fun again. I also felt I was gypping the people (in WWE) putting in three-minute matches that didn’t mean anything. It just breaks your heart when you can give so much more.”
– On doing independent shows post-WWE: “This is all I know. I think I’ll get my business back. Doing independent shows is fun for me. That’s what the business is for me – just going out there entertaining people.”
– Carlito’s final words in the interview: “I would just like to apologize for the past friggen’ three years. And also I would like to apologize – because I disrespected a lot of people. I was just bitter and miserable. I was in a dark place.”
“I’m still just bitter. I’m holding so much in. I’m glad I’ve had some time and I’m trying to take the high road. I put all the blame on me. I don’t care.”

Big Problems w/ The RAW Script, WWE Creative News, & More
-- As of Sunday morning the full script for last night's WWE Monday Night RAW hadn't been completely written yet. News of this comes a week after reports that the company is struggling with a long-term direction for storylines.
-- From Gary Graham: I got the new WWE magazine in the mail today and Triple H is the cover with the headline "Triple H Lays Siege To WWE! The King Returns." So I guess his return is very near.
-- A few RAW notes from last night. During one of the commercial breaks in the second hour, Edge cut a promo on Randy Orton and Evan Bourne. Also note televised, Alicia Fox snubbed the fans and walked out without a limp.
-- SmarTrend listed WWE among the top five companies in the movies and entertainment industry as ranked by operating margin. A healthy operating margin is required for a company to pay its fixed costs and generate cash. The other four company's were Time Warner, Imax, Cinemark and EDCI Holdings.

Backstage Update On Wade Barrett & Drew McIntyre Inside
As noted late last night here on the website, Drew McIntyre's visa issue has been solved as he appeared at last night's SmackDown live event in Savannah, Georgia to cut a promo. It is expected that McIntyre will be reinstated to the SmackDown brand at tonight's television taping.
After losing to Matt Hardy on the June 25 edition of SmackDown!, Theodore Long informed McIntyre that his work visa had expired and that he would be deported back to Scotland immediately. This storyline had a basis in reality, since his visa had indeed expired and as a result he was taken off television.
Meanwhile, Wade Barrett returned to RAW last night after resolving his own visa problems. Both Barrett and McIntyre paid visits to their home countries last week to fill out necessary paperwork pertaining to their respective visas. In that regard, everything is said to be fine now.
For those curious about Sheamus' legality, he had his visa taken care of in late May. He, Barrett and McIntyre were simultaneously signed to developmental contracts in April 2007 following tryout matches during WWE's annual European spring tour.

Report: Vince McMahon's Latest 'Ban' Is ......?
The latest thing that has been banned in WWE by Vince McMahon is chops (Ric Flair style chest chops) not being allowed. This does not include the straight down chops performed by The Great Khali or the hand print chops by The Big Show.
The general feeling is that McMahon doesn't want people doing the chops as the reaction live among wrestling fans is to do the Ric Flair "Wooooo!" and it reminds people of Flair, something they obviously don't want given he is working for the opposition at the moment.

Post MITB WWE Creative Plans?, WWE High On LayCool
» WWE creative is looking at having one of the two Money in the Bank winners cash their title shot by SummerSlam in August. This would be done so only one superstar would be carrying around a briefcase for the rest of the year.
» As noted earlier, WWE's creative team is said to be pleased with the Diva pairing of Michelle McCool and Layla, known as "Lay-Cool." Some within the company previously felt TNA's "Beautiful People" concept made their women's division look second rate by comparison, but now feel they've beaten the rival promotion at their own game. Layla recently refuted fans' allegations that "Lay-Cool" is copying "The Beautiful People," writing on Twitter: "Cuz all of the tweets about this subject, For the Record, I do not watch TNA. So copy cat thing...kinda NOT!! This is All I will say. Done.!!" Reportedly, the inspiration behind the "Lay-Cool" gimmick was due to WWE creative watching "The Beautiful People" on TNA programming.
