WWE SmackDown Recap With Tons Of Video: Final 'Over The Limit' Hype
Welcome to the WrestlingInc.com WWE SmackDown Recap.
We get a video recapping Laurinaitis and Cena from RAW.
Big Johnny comes to the ring and says he disagrees with the board of directors' decision. He says he's approaching 40 but he's not as flexible as he used to be. He's still tough but still not qualified to compete with Cena. He asks for the people to say a prayer for him. CM Punk's music hits. Punk says everybody's prayers have already been answered because when Cena beats him, he will be terminated. Punk wishes him well on his future endeavors and says they will throw a huge party all next week. Johnny makes a match for Punk against Kane. Punk says next week he'll still be champ but Johnny will be out of a job. Punk's music hits and he leaves the ring.
Johnny asks the crowd if they like that. He says he works hard for the fans and they just crap all over him. He blames the fans for Cena and Punk's actions, he detests the fans. He tells us all to go to hell and stomps out of the ring.
