DARK MATCH
- The Major Brothers def Deuce N' Domino
SMACKDOWN
Smackdown opens up with Edge coming and talking about Money in The Bank. He is supposed to face Matt Hardy, who comes and interrupts him, but Edge says he has a replacement, and Great Khali comes to face Matt. He hits the two-hand chokeslam, and fire comes out of the posts. Kane appears in the Titantrons, saying that the time is near, as Khali leaves the ring.
Teddy Long is showing talking in his office with Kristal. They talk about some celebration with champagne and some stuff like that. I really didn't get the point of the segment.
Finlay defeated Mr. Kennedy
Back and forth action from both man. Not much crowd reaction until Finlay distracted the ref. Hornswoggle came with a small ladder, and did his version of the senton bomb on Kennedy, and then Finlay hits the Celtic cross. Crowd reacted well to the bastard.
MVP defeated a wrestler referred to as the “Champion of Utopia” or something like that. MVP hits the Playmaker for the win, and starts saying he will be the next US champion.
Jeff Hardy defeated Randy Orton
Orton controlled most of the match, and Jeff pulled up his signature moves too. Better than their singles match from Raw last week. Edge comes again to distract Orton and Jeff pins him with a roll up. Crowd was really into this match, specially cheering Jeff (including me)
10-diva tag team match
Ashley, Maria, Candice, Torrie, and Mickie defeated Melina, Victoria, Jillian, Kristal, and Michelle Mccool.
Typical divas match. The heels worked a lot on Mickie, until all the hot tags for Candice, Torrie and Maria who performed their signature moves. Ashley got the final tag and won with a rollup.
Cm Punk defeated King Booker
Crowd was behind Booker. I think it was a very good main event. Booker goes for the scissors kick, but Punk moves and wins with a rollup (lots of rollup victories on this show).
JBL came to the ring to do the interview of Batista/Undertaker. Out of nowhere STONE COLD's music hits, and the people go nuts (including me). He comes, and gives JBL a stunner, then drinks two beers per corner and gives JBL another stunner. Awesome segment.
Teddy long comes with many security guards to do the interview himself. He brings both Batista and Undertaker, and both got huge pops. Batista says he already lost respect to Undertaker, and Undertaker remains silent. They then start brawling, with the usual security rush in to break them up, and Batista gives Undertaker a huge spinebuster, then leaves, but Undertaker sits up! Very good segment to warm the match for WM23.
