This week’s SmackDown begins with Michael Cole and Triple H in the ring. Cole asks Triple H his thoughts on Big Show being fired by Stephanie McMahon and wrecking havoc on Monday Night RAW. Triple H says he hopes that Big Show is proud of himself.

Cole then asks Triple H about Sunday’s Hell In A Cell WWE World Heavyweight Championship match. Triple H says that just like everyone else, he too can’t wait for Cena’s return from injury. He says he knows how it feels to come back from a devastating injury, and he knows what Cena has gone through to come back early.
