Friday Night “ZackDown” took the blue brand by storm
DENVER – With just two days to go until Money in the Bank rocks the WWE Universe, Zack Ryder took the helm of the blue brand Friday as this week’s Interim General Manager, transforming SmackDown to “ZackDown.” While Ryder’s goal was to bring excitement to the WWE Universe, Alberto Del Rio’s Friday night goal was to act as an agent of chaos, attacking World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus after The Great White’s impressive victory over Chris Jericho.
The night’s Interim General Manager, Zack Ryder, kicked off the Friday festivities by welcoming the WWE Universe to the very first edition of Friday Night “ZackDown”! Ryder, who won last week’s 20-Man Battle Royal to become the one-night Interim GM, certainly made “ZackDown” his own, as he organized the world’s largest fist pump with members of the WWE Universe in attendance and promised the greatest SmackDown ever.
But the good vibrations didn’t last long, as No. 1 contender to Sheamus’ World Heavyweight Championship, Alberto Del Rio, interrupted the party atmosphere with some pointed words for both Ryder (who he called a “stupid clown”) and The Great White. Del Rio promised that, after their title match at Money in the Bank, not only will he become the “real” World Champion, but he’ll “rule SmackDown.” Ryder’s answer to Del Rio’s bombastic claims was a resounding one — the Broski-in-charge showed he has some GM chops by setting up a match between Sin Cara and Del Rio!

WWE.com: Why Daniel Bryan deserves no mercy from AJ at Money in the Bank
WWE.com takes a detailed in-depth look at AJ’s emotional downward spiral and her troubled relationship with Daniel Bryan as we approach “Money In The Back” this Sunday.The detailed article by Tom Herrera includes links to all the important moments and an entire video playlist of AJ’s off-the-wall acts.
Mentally unstable. Emotionally fragile. Wildly unpredictable. Over the last several weeks, AJ has been labeled all of these things leading up to her appearance as special guest referee at Money in the Bank when CM Punk defends the WWE Title against DanielBryan. On the surface, it all seems to be true, but labels can be misleading. At her core, perhaps AJ is just a woman who knew exactly what she wanted … before she had her heart ripped out and trampled in front of millions watching on television.

SDCC 2012: Mattel panel taken over by Del Rio
BY ALEX GIANNINI
SAN DIEGO – The Mattel panel at Comic-Con International started innocently enough, with toy designers giving WWE Universe members insight into the latest action figure lines and providing those in attendance with sneak peeks at upcoming products.
Featuring appearances by WWE Champion CM Punk, World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus and Zack Ryder, the panel was highly anticipated, and the packed room enjoyed the presentation. When Punk and Ryder departed for other Comic-Con events, The Great White stuck around to answer questions from the audience. But no one could have guessed how the panel would end. Alberto Del Rio – who will challenge Sheamus for his World Heavyweight Title Sunday at Money in the Bank – appeared out of nowhere, crashing the party and raising the tension levels throughout the hall.
