WWE 'SmackDown' results and live blog for Sept. 21: Edge returns!

WWE SmackDown comes waltzing back into our lives tonight (Fri., Sept. 21, 2012) featuring a taped show on SyFy that sees all the fallout for the blue brand from the Night of Champions pay-per-view (PPV) this past Sunday night in Boston, MA.

You would think that would include bothering to establish the next contender to Sheamus' world heavyweight championship but you would be wrong... kind of. The focus remains on the tag team from Hell... Kane and Daniel Bryan.

In fact, you might notice there's more focus here than anything else on the show.

That includes an appearance from WWE Hall of Famer Edge. Before you get mad at me about posting a spoiler before the show, both Edge and the company have been promoting it online for days now; blame them.

If you don't want to wait until tonight, you can click here to read full spoilers.

Remember, the show starts 8 p.m. ET on SyFy so be sure to get here nice and early to join in with all your favorite Cageside commenters. SmackDown live blog after the jump.

Edge asks how the "Devil's Favorite Demon" and "Goat Boy" became BFFs and WWE Tag Team Champions.

Daniel Bryan is in.

Edge takes the jacket off and Kane extends his arms for a hug.

The two hug it out.

Bryan snaps and starts screaming, "NO!"

Edge calls Bryan over for a group-hug.

Damien Sandow begs our indulgence.

He says that for the past fortnight, this series has played out. He says this is a complete abomination. He says that the WWE has fallen to such depths and that as our intellectual savior and martyr...

Edge tells him to "shut up." Edge says if he really wants to do something, he should come face one of the two in the ring.

Sandow says he is a thinking man and doesn't resort to violence.

Edge asks the crowd who they want Sandow to wrestle, and the crowd is firmly behind Kane. He alternates the names of the tag champions, to which they give "YES!" and "NO!" answers.
