Dark Match:
* Tommy Dreamer b. Kevin Thorn after hitting a DDT.

WWE SmackDown: (Airing This Friday)
* Mick Foley makes his way out to ringside. So far, no sign of Jim Ross.

* SmackDown opens with Vickie Guerrero nearly in tears talking about Vince McMahon's "accident." She receives a lot of heat and wishes Vince well. She says she hopes he's not in a wheelchair. She announces new SmackDown color commentator, Jim Ross. He makes his way out to ringside as the crowd explodes!

* Triple H comes out to cut a promo. He gets a huge pop. Triple H welcomes Jim Ross to SmackDown by saying he is the best and he's glad he came with him. He the talks about Night of Champions. Edge comes out to interrupt him. He tells Triple H that they can get both get along. Hunter disagrees by saying that both have too big of egos and that Edge won't have the World Championship after Sunday's Night of Champions pay-per-view.

Edge combats by saying this is his house and that Triple H needs to respect him. Batista then comes out. Hunter then pushes Edge and Batista hits him. They both hold the title up while Edge is on the ground.

* Rey Mysterio's last appearance on SmackDown is announced for tonight.

* Big Show & Kane b. MVP & Mark Henry
The match was back and forth throughout. MVP tagged himself in and got in trouble with Kane. He tried to leave but Mark Henry threw him back in. Kane pins him for the win.

* Finlay & Hornswoggle b. Zack Ryder & Kurt Hawkins
Huge pop for Finlay & Hornswoggle. The match was pretty much one sided throughout and Finlay & Hornswoggle take the win. The Miz & John Morrison stand on the entrance ramp with their belts.

* Edge b. Matt Hardy
I'm told this was a pretty decent match throughout. Lots of holds and counter holds. Edge wins with a spear after several near falls. Lots of crowd heat on Edge.

* Maryse, Victoria, & Natalya b. Kelly Kelly, Michelle McCool, & Cherry
The match was back and forth throughout. The crowd could have cared less. After all the divas get involved Maryse gets the roll up pin on Cherry for the win!

* It is announced that Kennedy won't be on SmackDown until next week.

* Vladimir Kozlov b. Domino
Real quick match. Heat on both Superstars.

* Rey Mysterio comes out wearing street clothes and his mask. He explains to the fans that he has been drafted to Monday Night Raw and he hopes everyone will tune in weekly to watch him. He goes on to say hopefully he can fulfill more of his dreams.

Batista then comes out and says he will back Rey wherever he goes.

* Batista vs. Umaga
Umaga has control early on. The match moves slowly. Zack Ryder & Kurt Hawkins come running out while Edge grabs his belt. La Familia beat Umaga.

Triple H comes out and helps Batista clean house. Pedigree and Batista Bomb on Zack Ryder & Kurt Hawkins.

Batista grabs the mic and said at first he was upset about the Draft. Triple H then told him he was going to good on Raw. SmackDown goes off the air.

Yea I went to the Smackdown taping and I dont think that final Batista part is gonna air.

Basically Batista said that since it was his final night on Smackdown he wanted to thank the fans and everything and tell them that even though he was worried about leaving he knew they were in good hands when Triple H got drafted.

I feel the same way, TL, but I'm hoping next week's Smackdown will be a lot better now that the post-draft fallout (i.e. Mysterio's, Batista's promos) is over, and Kennedy will be there, etc.

I wish MVP woulda moved to RAW so badly. He may acually win some matches that way.

MVP would more likely win matches on ecw than raw. Also, either give Kozlov some theme music or release him, he bores the shit out of me.

Not only did they not use Kennedy but they did'nt even use Jeff Hardy

Ratings? Not trying to shit on the guy, but I'm not exactly sure he draws.

He should have been on SmackDown!, though. Matt Hardy also should have gone over Edge with some aid from Batista. You then have Chavo Guerrero and Bam Neely beat down Hardy, to soften him up for Night of Champions, and Jeff Hardy makes the save. It wasn't hard to come up with.

Jeff Hardy is a draw. He's sold more merchandise than The Rock and many other "superstars" and ratings were actually up during his feud with Orton before Mania.

Wizard: PAY NO ATTENTION TO THAT MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN!!!
Fans: Shut up Vince, we know it's you.

I'd call Jeff Hardy an "interest" or "relative draw." Wrestling fans were interested in seeing his push. How many news fans did he create, though? How high did ratings climb, exactly? Are they still up? Jeff Hardy is still around, isn't he?

Selling merchandise really doesn't have much to do with how many you bring to the gate. To put Jeff Hardy on a platform with The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin and Hulk Hogan is a bit ridiculous.
