So what the Board of Directors has decided to do is to shake things up.” The crowd cheer in agreement with Linda.

Linda: “Eric instead of you being on Raw, the Board of Directors has decided to place you on Smackdown!”
Eric: “How can I be the General Manager of Raw while I am on Smackdown?”

The match started with both men coming to the ring. Tyson Tomiko and then Edge, Tomiko got the jump on Edge as he started throwing right hands and backed Edge into the turnbuckle. Tomiko proceeded to thrust his shoulder into Edge’s abdomen but suddenly Edge reversed putting Tomiko into the corner and started to throw some right hands of his own. Edge Irish whipped Tomiko hard into the other turnbuckle and as Tomiko hit off the turnbuckle he walked forwards and Edge scored a perfect dropkick.
Edge quickly got outside and grabbed a steel which he used to imprint Tomiko’s face in.
Later in the match after the ring was filled with weapons Tomiko pulled Edge up by the hair and hit him with some punches. Tomiko bounced Edge off of the ropes but Edge countered and speared him.

Both teams entered La Resistance getting most of the heat. Chris Benoit was the bigger fan favourite. Once the bell had rung both teams went straight to work on each other. Eugene hit 3 double clotheslines before Sylvain Grenier got in some right hands and hit Eugene to the floor. Meanwhile Chris Benoit threw Rob Conway out of the ring and dived through the ropes with a spear type move knocking both men to the ground.

On the outside Rob and Benoit got up but Benoit was quicker and he delivered a toe kick and Irish whipped Rob into the steel steps.
Eugene scoop slammed Sylvain and Chris Benoit got onto the tope rope where he delivered a diving head butt and then rolled out of the ring. As Eugene went to go for the pin Rob Conway caught an unsuspected spinebuster on Eugene. Both members of La Resistance kicked Eugene is a horrible fashion as they made good use of the referee’s 5 count. La Resistance pulled Eugene up and did a double team move much like a double chokeslam. Sylvain pinned Eugene with a hook of the leg.

Jerry Lawler: “I don’t think that’s fair I mean look at the double teaming on La Resistance, if that was a match I was refereeing I would disqualify Benoit and Eugene right there and then. Anyway on to the next match…PUPPIES!”
Commercial Break
Match 3
Trish Stratus V Sable
Trish entered first and when Trish’s music hit she received an enormous amount of heat. Once in the ring Trish got a microphone and waited for the crowd to go silent.
“Hello everybody and thank you for coming to see Trish Stratus. Unfortunately some little s*** at Wrestlemania STOLE my title belt, so if you wanted to see me face another WWE Diva for my title…..blame the s*** Christy Hemme.”
Eventually Sable’s music hit throughout the arena and Sable got a mixed amount of cheers and heat.
After Sable got in the ring Trish Stratus immediately threw Sable to the mat face first by pulling the hair. Trish got Sable up and slapped her in the face. Sable turned back to look at Trish and slapped her back twice as hard. Trish checked to see if there was any blood and out of nowhere started slapping Sable like mad, eventually Trish was on top of Sable and still slapping her, the referee had to pry Trish of Sable.

Backstage you see Trish Stratus walk up beside Stacy Keibler.
Trish: “Hey Stacy!”
Stacy: “Oh hey Trish, how are you?”
Trish: “Oh I’m fine, just taking care of business. Did you see my match?”
Stacy: “Oh no I didn’t but I saw you loose your title to Christy Hemme at Wrestlemania though. You put up a good fight but I guess Christy was the better woman.”
Trish: “Excuse me? What did you just say?”
Stacy: “Christy….was…the better woman.”
Trish: “No you see your just like Christy…you are a s*** the same as her!”
Trish then slap’s Stacy around the face. Stacy looks at Trish and Stacy spears Trish and both start to pull hair and slap each other. Referees have to come in and break it up.

Match 4
Triple H, Randy Orton and Booker T V Batista, the Undertaker and Shawn Michaels.
Triple H, Randy Orton all came to the ring and Undertaker did his usual entrance but when he got into the ring all 3 opposing team members started throwing right and left hands. The referee lost control of the match before it even began. Undertaker threw all of his opponents off and hit each of them with a throat thrust. Shawn Michaels music hit the arena and all the fans were on their feet cheering HBK. Once Shawn was in the ring he hit sweet chin music on an unsuspecting Randy Orton who fell through the ropes to the outside. Batista’s music went off and out came Batista running along the ramp; Batista threw down his title belt and went straight to work on Triple H throwing right hands that knocked Triple H to the floor. When Randy Orton got up Undertaker bounced against the ropes and jumped over the top rope onto the outside to deliver a flying clothesline. Both Undertaker and Orton got up slowly but both started hitting each other however Undertaker managed to get a big boot to the face on Orton and set him up for the tombstone pliedriver. Booker T clotheslined HBK outside the ring to where Lillian Garcia was sitting. Since the referee had lost control Booker T grabbed a steel chair and went to hit HBK with it but HBK countered the attack and hit sweet chin music onto the chair which rebounded off of Booker T’s skull. Undertaker was able to get Randy Orton into the tombstone position on the outside and delivered the tombstone onto the steel steps. HBK and The Undertaker got into the ring where Batista kicked Triple H in the abdomen and Batista Bombed him.
