*Josh Matthews interviewed Kenzo Suzuki. Hiroki (Suzuki's wife) told the crowd that Suzuki loved the United States to get heat from Canadian fans. It appeared this was for the live crowd.

*"El Gran Luchadore" defeated WWE champion John Bradshaw Layfield by countout. Eddie Guerrrero came down to the ring dressed like Luchadore and switched places with him. Guerrero hit the triple suplex combination and did his "Latino Heat" dance. Bradshaw realized it and left the ring, getting counted out.

*WWE United States champion John Cena pinned Booker T with the FU. Kurt Angle and Luther Reigns came to ringside. Cena accidentally hit Angle with a clothesline after Booker ducked. He then took out Reigns with Angle's cane. After the pin, Reigns attacked Cena and grabbed the US title and walked off. Angle announced that Cena had been warned that if he put his hands on Angle, there would be reprecussions and there are - Angle then announced that Cena was stripped of the United States championship.

After they went off the air, Booker T attacked Cena. Cena chased off Booker T and then did some mic work to send off the live crowd.

[Gone Mad]

Wow.Finally they got what they deserve. I saw their match with the Dudleys on Velocity with my friends who aren't so interested in wrestling and they were into it, mostly for London and Kidman. You know you are good when you can get the uninterested interested.

[Deceit]

WOW!

Good stuff for Kidman/London! They finally did do something right :)

[#1-norm-fan]

LOL WHAT!? I'm excited as hell but this is a SHOCK!

Kidman and London are like... 3 time tag champs on my EWR game already.

[Dave Youell]

Great stuff, woohoo

just hope they dont job back in a few weeks

[Aussie Skier]

sweet!!

hope they come down to Australia as tag champs!

[KingofOldSchool]

Yes.

Bring two guys that havent really been on Smackdown in months, come out of no where and win the WWE Tag Titles. Yeah that's GREAT booking! :-|

[Lara Emily]

Yes.

I actually kinda agree. Don't get me wrong I'm happy that they won... mostly. Just that a build up would have done them and the titles better justice.

[The Mackem]

Smackdown looks good this week.

[The One]

First they give the WWE Title to JBL....then the Tag Titles to London/Kidman...I really wish I could be inside a meeting room when they talk about it...

"OK...so it's agreed. We give the important title to the fat no talent nazi and then we give the Tag Titles to some incredible talents who havn't been on SmackDown for a while...that way nobody knows what the fu</>ck we're thinking" ;)

[Dave Youell]

Yes.

Hmm I dissagree, I think sometimes it's good to get wins out of nowhere, it's an instant push that doesn't require the weeks of TV time to get the team over. Plus with all the build up for the GAB and the Dudleys in the match with Taker there wasn't really a chance to get this story in anyways.

Personally I like this

[#1-norm-fan]

Yeah. I like the whole underdogs winning the titles thing.

[Wondermouse]

Yes.

Yes, let's completely ignore the fact that they beat them one week earlier!

Did you shit over Shelton over Trips?

The tag titles are next to meaningless, and having them on the Dudley Boys do nothing for them. Kidman and London are underdogs who upset the giants, and it allows them to become fighting champions. This is what they'll do with the CW belt, as well. It gives credibility back to the belt when it's constantly being defended (and kept, most of the time). Rico and Haas were heading that way when Rico got injured.

[Tornado]

Yessssssssssssssssssssss

London
London
London!

There was a sort of build up cos Kidman/London beat the Dudleyz last week on Velocity by DQ so it will have stemmed from that probably

*stops clock*

3 hours, 19 minutes.

It's nothing but a good thing that Kidman and London won the tag titles out of nowhere, that way Vince didn't have time to reconsider and change his mind. Honestly, I think the only reason the Dudleyz were given the titles this time was because it was a tag title they had't won yet.

But WTF is up with Cena being stripped of the US title? I imagine that this won't be allowed to stand in one way or another.

Heyman being scared of Taker = :lol: And I guess Taker is back to his "rare appearances" now.

[SuperSlim]

SD! sounds aight... London and Kidman winnin sounds pretty nice. The only question is how long will that reign last? a month? 3 weeks? a week before SummerSlam?

And Cena will probably be movin on towards bigger things which is why they stripped him rather than havin him lose the belt. Cause they probably figured a loss would hurt him in the hunt for the WWE title while strippin him of it will help him more being that he "never" lost it.

[LK]

It's great that Kidman and London won the titles. Smackdown sounded quite good this week.

[The CyNick]

Smackdown sounds miles better than RAW was this week, but cant judge till they get it on TV.

Still, I liked all the booking on the show.

Putting the titles on London/Kidman is a great move and could help bring some life back into that division. With Kidman and London as champs you'll likely get more cruiserweight tag teams, which should result in better matches from the tag team champs. Hopefully they dont take the titles off these guys in a few weeks.

Stripping Cena of the US title is also a smart move. Its good because Cena doesn't have to JOB to one of the mid card guys (which would hurt his push to ME status) and they can get the title on someone like Dupree without hurting Cena. I would guess we'll see a tournament on SD leading up to Summerslam, with the finals likely going down at the PPV. Also, this seems to lead to Cena-Angle instead of Angle-Eddie, which probably means they've decided to go with a 3 way for the WWE title at Summerslam.

I like what they appear to be doing with Haas. Angle doing this "I'm ashamed of you" deal is an interesting angle in the mid card. I wonder if this will lead to a heel turn, maybe even Haas is the one who gets the US title.

I love that they put a random CW 6 man tag on the show. This is how SD can compete with RAW in terms of match quality. Its great because it gives them another good match on the show, and it features more CW contenders which will hopefully make them viable contenders for the CW title.

Heyman deal sounds interesting, and the JBL-Eddie thing is a good carryover to build up to next weeks Cage Match. I hope they put together a really nice package of the JBL-Eddie program, there are enough things to put in a package to make next Tuesday's match seem like a big deal.

So overall things look pretty good this week on SD. If Angle could ever come back as a regular SD might appear to be decent. Good job WWE!

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I just guarantee you 3 quarters of the people there were like "who the fuc</>k is Paul London?"
