PLAYERS: Alberto Del Rio
Alberto Del Rio fulfilled his destiny on SmackDown, beating the Big Show in a last man standing match. The Mexican Aristocrat rammed the giant with the steel stairs, toppling him over the announcer's table, which Del Rio flipped onto of the monster. This was a really well worked match, with Del Rio locking on his arm-bar submission while hanging over the top rope. On a side note, no one in wrestling turns red faced better than the Big Show. He looked like an eggplant as Del Rio tried to choke him out.  Del Rio survived two knockout punches, which shows WWE is fully behind his face turn -- after a shaky start.
