Smackdown promo hits and then we go inside the arena. The crowd sounds excited. They are anxious to see the first Smackdown after the TNA/WWE combination draft. Cole and Tazz are at ringside.
Tazz: Hello everyone and welcome to Smackdown! Im Tazz and here is my partner Micheal Cole. And Cole im tellin’ ya tonight is gonna be great. We are going to see some superstars that we have never seen before, and some new fueds too.
Cole: I know tazz this is gonna be a great night. Now lets go down to the squared circle with an interview from matt. (Matt is standing in the middle of the ring. Apparently someone is ready to come out for an interview.)
Matt: well everyone. As most of you know the cruserweight division is a great division here on Smackdown. And right now I would like to introduce you to one of the most innovative, young cruserweights ever. Here right now is Amazing Red! (crowd cheers as Red comes out and goes to the ring.)
Matt: Well Amazing Red I would just like to get your thoughts on coming here to Smackdown and being able to wrestle some of our greatest cruserweights here in the WWE.
Red: Matt it’s a great opportunity to be here in the WWE. I would love to show everyone here what I can do and hopefully challenge Rey Mysterio for the Cruserweight title one day down the road (crowd applauses)
Tazz: Wow Cole what a great match that would be!
Cole: Your telling me. I hope that happens soon.
(soon Chavo’s music hits and he walks down to the ring as everyone boo’s.)
Chavo: whoa whoa whoa. Who the hell do you think you are? Coming out here and demanding to face Rey Mysterio for the title. If your going to fight anyone, first, you have to prove yourself against me here tonight. I am one of the most unstoppable cruserweights EVER!! (crowd boo’s more)
Red: O. Chavo Guerrero. I heard of you. You were the one who lost your Cruserweight Title to a girl. Ha Ha. I should have no problem beating you tonight. (crowd laughs and cheers)
(Chavo decks Red in the face and then walks out as he’s talking some trash.)
Tazz: Well tonight we have got Amazing Red vs. Chavo Guerrero. That’s going to be some non stop cruserweight action.
Cole: I cannot wait to see what else we have on Smackdown here tonight.

Next is Rene Dupree vs. Booker T
(Both men enter and Dupree is getting boo’ed heavily. Booker T is now getting cheered for. He has had a recent face turn after helping out Eddie against Bradshaw a couple of weeks previous to this draft.)
Tazz: I am glad to see Booker a fan favorite again Cole
Cole: I know. These two men are both potential United States title contenders. This should be a good match here.
Booker T starts off with some big chops to the chest of Dupree. He puts him in the turnbuckle and begins to stomp away. He goes and puts Rene’s leg on the bottom rope. He jumps up and lands back down on the knee. He does it one more time and then drags Dupree from the turnbuckle corner and lifts him up for a shin breaker.He gets it and then he covers him. 1……2…..no Dupree is out. Booker picks him up again. He is trying to go for another shin breaker…but Rene flips over his back and hits an atomic drop, and then runs into the rope and levels Booker with a clothesline. He drags Booker up by the head, and lands some big knees to the shoulder and head region. He gets the cover. 1…..2…no Booker just gets out at 2. Dupree gets him up again, and gets a stomach breaker. He then puts him in the middle of the ring, and begins to hop from side to side of Booker, getting ready to land that elbow, but Booker T gets up as Rene lands down to the ground. He picks up Dupree and whips him into the ropes where he hits a big spinebuster. 1…..2…no Dupree gets up. While Dupree is down, Booker goes into the ropes, and comes back with a stalling knee drop. It seems that Booker is now in control of this match. He gets an arm wrench on Dupree, then comes back and goes for a side kick to the face, but Dupree ducks and then back body drops Booker T out of the ring. Booker is on the outside for a bit while Dupree taunts the crowd. He comes back and nails him with a baseball slide. He goes out and then whips him into the steps. He picks him up and then tosses him in the ring again. He goes for the pin. 1…..2…no wow Booker T got out at 2. Dupree applies a chin lock to try to wear down Booker T.
A couple of minutes later…..
Booker is coming out of the chin lock. He tries and uses all of his energy to turn around and hit a book end on Dupree. Now both men are out on the ground. Both men start to stir soon after, and then Booker kicks Dupree in the stomach. He runs into the ropes for a scissors kick but Dupree moves and gets in a low blow, and then gets up and hits a powerbomb on Booker. He rolls him up and grabs the rope with his hands. 1……2…..3
Cole: Damn it Tazz. That Dupree cheated again. This guy doesn’t have the guts to pick up a win cleanly.
Tazz: But you have to give him credit. The French Phenom has won again, moving him closer to that U.S. title shot against Cena.
Mordeaci Promo flashes on the screen. He is in his white robe and surrounded by all his candles, and he has that big white cross staff at his side.
Mordeaci: I have seen Smackdown now for a couple of months. I am very disappointed. There are just so many sinners. So many people who need to see the light. Soon there will be another chosen one. I have seen him before, and he will soon see what happens when you become a sinner. In a few weeks, everyone will see who I am talking about. Until then, everyone should be ready, because at any moment, I may strike. HEAR ME FEAR ME!!!
Next when we go back to the ring its time for the Dudleyz vs. Rikishi and Scotty for the Tag team titles.
Bubba and Rikishi start out. Rikishi gets some big rights on Bubba and then puts him on the ropes. He hits him a few more times, and then whips him into the other side and as Bubba comes back he lands a big belly to belly suplex. He gets up, and is about to sit down right on Bubba’s chest, but Bubba gets out of the way. He then goes right for the legs. He starts to pound away at the knee. And locks in a single leg crab for a little bit. After that, he drags him over to the Dudleyz corner. He tags on D-Von, and D-Von stays on the attack. He runs into the ropes and hits a big drop kick to the leg, knocking Rikishi to one knee. He goes to right hand him, but Rikishi catches the punch, and gets up to a solid base, and then drags him in for a big somoan drop. He crawls over to his corner and tags in Scotty. Scotty comes in and hits a dropkick on D-Von. Then Bubba comes comes in and gets dropkicked as well. Then Scotty goes to the top rope and hits a flying cross body on D-Von as Rikishi hits a kick right to the face of Bubba, knocking him over the top rope. Scotty gets the cover after the cross body. 1…..2…no D-Von gets out. He gets him up and gets an arm wrench. He keeps the lock and then whips D-Von into Rikishi who grabs him by the head, and then tosses him into the turnbuckle. He goes to the other turnbuckle, and then runs and hits a big splash, and D-Von falls down. The crowd goes crazy as they know that the stink face is about to be applied. He goes in for it, but D-Von crawls out of the way and tags in Bubba, who got back on the apron. He chop blocks Rikishi and then kicks grabs Scotty and hits a suplex on him. The ref gets Rikishi out of the ring and Bubba goes to work on Scotty. He puts him into the corner and lands some big open handed chops to the chest. He scoop slams him down, and goes to the top. He jumps off, and is about to land on Scotty, but he gets out of the way and crawls towards Rikishi for the tag. He gets in and knocks down Bubba, and then he tosses D-Von over the ropes as he was charging. He whips him into the corner, and Bubba falls down, ready for a stinkface. But then we see Commisioner Heyman come out, and he seems mad. He goes right for Scotty, trying to knock him off the apron. Scotty realizes and he jumps off, and it seems as if he is going to attack Heyman. But as he turns around, D-Von levels Scotty in the head with a chair he got from the outside. Rikishi turns around, and sees this. He goes away from the stinkface and goes to the ropes and starts yelling at Heyman. As this happens, D-Von rolls in the ring and Bubba gets up. They signal a 3D behind Rikishi. He turns around and gets planted by a 3D. 1……2…..3 Yes the Dudleyz keep the tag titles as Heyman comes in and celebrates.
Tazz: Hey look its good to see our Commisioner here tonight Cole
Cole: I guess so but he just interfered in that tag match costing Rikishi and Scotty a good chance at those belts
Tazz: So what he can do whatever he wants, he’s the boss.

Rock: Finally, the Rock is back…..on Smackdown. Yes being the #1 pick a couple of years ago its great to be back here. All I have to say is that the most electrifying man in sports entertainment is looking for a title shot, so Eddie, if your back there, I hope that you and me can one day go at it for a title shot. (Jericho’s music hits and he walks out.)
Jericho: Hey Rock hold on here. I know your anxious to come back and get your title, shot, but I am sad to inform you that I just got finished talking to Commisioner Heyman, and he said that I get a title shot next. But I have an idea. Why don’t me and you fight tonight here in the main event, and the winner can go on and face Eddie Guerrero for the title at Royal Rumble (crowd cheers at the idea)
Rock: Ok Jericho. That sounds good to me. Tonight me and you 1-on-1 for #1 contendership here tonight. If ya smeellll, what the rock….is cookin.
(Rock leaves the ring and we see Chavo Guerrero jr in the back ready for his match. He is taping up his wrists and looks prepared for this match against Amazing Red. In the we go back to the ring and we see Amazing Red getting introduced and on his way out. He gets a good ovation from the crowd. Out comes Chavo a little after and the match is underway.)
Chavo Guerrero vs. Amazing Red
Chavo starts out by going to hit Red, but he ducks and slaps the back of his head, playing around. This gets Chavo mad even more, and he goes to attack again, but Red ducks and drop toe holds him to the rope. He runs to the other side and runs and jumps over the rope and hits a leg drop to chavo on the second rope. Chavo is stunned as Red then jumps on the top rope and lands a head scissors ddt to Chavo. He goes for the pin. 1…2…no Chavo just gets out. Red gets up and jumps up on Chavo’s shoulders, and tries to roll down and get a victory roll, but Chavo won’t let him and drops him with an electric chair drop.

He goes up to the top rope, and as he comes down Chavo lands a dropkick to the ribs. He puts Red on the top turnbuckle, and runs up and hits a top rope arm drag. He goes for the pin. 1…..2..no now Red just gets out of that. Chavo picks him up and gets a scoop slam down. He goes to the top rope. He looks like he is going for a five star frog splash, but Red runs up the rope and hits an inziguri to Chavo, and he goes falling to the canvas. Red runs up and hits a 450 and gets the leg hooked. 1…..2….NO wow Chavo got the foot on the rope, we thought for sure it was over for Chavo.

Chavo tries to do it again but this time we see Red counter in mid air and he hits a head scissors ddt again. Red signals for something, and climbs to the top rope. He hits a shooting star press (or he calls it the Red Star Pres). He goes for the pin. 1……2…..3 Yes Red picks up the win.
Cole: WOW! What a great match we saw there Tazz. Two great cruserweights putting their bodies on the line in a fantastic match here tonight
Tazz: I know Cole. That was one hell of a match. I hope the rest of smackdown goes that way.
(Backstage we see Angle getting wheeled around by Luther Raines. All of the sudden we see some waterish mist come and splash Angle in the face. He looks and sees its Eugene spitting water like HHH does in his entrance. Angle goes over to him.)
Angle: Eugene! What the hell are you doing? You’re getting water all over me!!
Eugene: I’m pretending to be my favorite wrestler. TRIPLE H!! (spits more water, and then spills the bottle. Some goes all over the floor, and then some on angle’s cast. Eugene tries to help but falls over the puddle of water and falls on Angle’s leg.
Angle: OWWW!! EUGENE! GET OFF OF ME!! LUTHER HELP!! (Luther pulls him off.) That’s it Eugene, right now its time for you to go down to that ring, because now your going to have to deal with Luther…Next!!

The crowd loves it, and Eugene is excited and now jumping around clapping. He drags him out, and locks his legs up. He sits down, and begins to roll all around the ring for about 15 seconds. Luther gets up dazed, and then falls right back down. Eugene goes to pick him up, but gets poked in the eyes. Luther gets a back breaker and then gets a headlock down on Eugene. He seems to be getting weary, and looks like he is going to get knocked out. The crowd really begins to get into it, and starts to chant for Eugene. Eugene seems to be fighting back. He gets up, elbows him in the stomach, then fights some more, and then gets another elbow, then he looks like he starts to hulk up, and gets a big back suplex on Luther and the crowd cheers in amazement. Eugene starts to get down to his knees, and begins to bite Luther on the head. Then he starts to crawl around and he headbutts Luther, then pretends to piss on his head.

Rock vs. Chris Jericho (#1 Contendership)
Rock starts out by kicking Jericho in the stomach, and then coming off the ropes and getting a knee to the face. He then taunts to the crowd as he goes to pick up Jericho, and hits a ddt, laying him right back down. He goes for the cover. 1….2..no Jericho gets out. He gets him up, and now both men are slugging away at each other, it now seems Jericho is getting the upper hand, and runs into the ropes and nails a flying forearm. Jericho gets up and kicks Rock on the side of the head, and then taunts him some more. He picks up Rock and then hits a quick snap suplex. He then gets Rock up again, and gets a sleeper on Rocky. Rock is wearing down, but counters out and gets a sleeper of his own on Jericho. Now it seems that Jericho is fading, but grabs Rock’s head and gets a jaw breaker on Rock to counter the sleeper. Now they are both stunned on the mat. Rock gets up, but Jericho is now up too. Jericho goes over and tries to get a spinning heel kick, but Rock ducks and then grabs his legs and locks in the sharpshooter. Jericho is in a huge amount of pain, and the Rock spends about a minute or two keeping that sharp shooter in and then after about 1 or 2 minutes Jericho finally gets to the ropes. Jericho gets to the ropes, and then Rock keeps on the attack, he drags him to the middle of the ring and tries to hit another sharpshooter locked in, but Jericho rolls out and lands an inziguri to the head of the Rock, staggering him down.

He is trying to wear down the legs of the Rock so he can get the walls of Jericho later on in the match. He picks Rock up and now hits the spinning heel kick right to the face of the Rock. He decides to do a cocky pin and not really try to get a cover. 1….no Rock up at one. The cocky pin was a bad idea. Rock gets pounded on, but then gets up to his feet, and as Jericho comes off of the ropes he ducks and catches him into a somoan drop. Both men are down again. They both get up at almost the same time, and Jericho runs at Rock again. This time Rock lands a big spinebuster in the middle of the ring. He walks over him, takes off his armpad, and runs from rope to rope, he is ready to land that elbow, but Jericho grabs his legs and trips him up. He runs into the ropes and gets a lionsault. 1…..2…NO Rock kicked out barley at 2. That was amazing. Now Jericho is definitely frustrated. He gets Rock, and now this time he grabs his legs and tries to turn him over for the walls of Jericho. He finally does, and the Rock tries desperately not to submit. After a while, Rock pushes Jericho off, and Jericho hits the ref, knocking him out of the ring. Rock nips up, and hits the Rock Bottom. But then from out of nowhere, Scott Demore comes from behind and cracks him over the head with the canadien flag w/hockey stick. Soon all three other members of team Canada come down, and just beat away at Rock. Petey Williams lands the Canadiean destroyer on the Rock. And he is now busted. They all walk out as Jericho puts in the walls of Jericho. The ref tries to see if Rock will submit, but he is knocked out cold. The ref rings the bell and Jericho wins due to Rock not being able to continue.
Cole: I don’t know what the hell I just saw Tazz! Can you belive that!
Tazz: Team Canada just came out here and just cost Rock a shot at the WWE title. I cant belive this. This is chaos!!
(Team Canada and Jericho stand over Rock and drape the canadien flag over him. They all raise each others hands and the crowd is pissed off.)
