John Cena's eagerly-anticipated return to Smackdown was undermined by Edge in Portland, Oregon, as the road to Wrestlemania XXV continues.
Cena's pursuit of Edge's World Heavyweight Championship belt has been unrelenting since the elimination chamber bout, which proved his undoing at No Way Out.
But Smackdown general manager Vickie Guerrero this time employed Big Show as the barrier to her beau, although Cena looked to have the match won after delivering an FU to The World's Largest Athlete.
Out came the Ultimate Opportunist with the gold, though, to provide the decisive distraction that allowed Show to hit his trademark chokeslam for the win.
Bad blood
In other heated Friday night action, Jeff Hardy somehow managed to turn the other cheek when confronting his older brother and former tag team partner Matt.
Despite ongoing provocation from the latter Jeff again refused to take the bait in a family feud that looks set to rumble on and on.
The night's most sensational result saw Vladimir Kozlov turn Undertaker's old school Deadman Walking manoeuvre off the top rope to his advantage to deliver a devastating powerslam.
The Moscow Mauler picked up the win as a result and must now face Shawn Michaels for the right to try and break the Phenom's undefeated Wrestlemania streak.
Carlito and Primo successfully defended their WWE tag team championship belts against world tag team champions The Miz and John Morrison meanwhile.
Carlito it was who delivered the killer blow with a bone-shuddering Backstabber to Morrison as the Dirt Shirt duo's attempts to become undisputed tag team champions went unfulfilled.
Finally, Chavo Guerrero overcame United States Champion Shelton Benjamin in a non-title match with Montel Vontavious Porter the Gold Standard's biggest worry at ringside.
And the Ballin' Superstar hit the Drive-By Kick on the dazed and confused Benjamin after the bell to ensure their rivalry shows no sign of stopping.

WWE wrestler Chris Jericho allegedly assaults female fan in Victoria
Victoria Police announced Monday that officers will continue to investigate an incident where WWE wrestler Chris Jericho allegedly punched a female fan.
The altercation was videotaped and posted on YouTube (explicit language).
In the video, Jericho is seen surrounded by dozens of hecklers as he leaves the Save-on Foods Memorial Centre on Saturday at about 3 p.m. He responds with a profanity-laced tirade and appears to strike a female fan — although the footage is not clear.
Two people were arrested shortly after the incident and released. Police said Jericho was not one of those people.
