Backstage, Chris Jericho said his rematch will be next week. He was joined by Edge, who talked about how Punk and Hardy are not on the same page and therefore will not be a challenge.

After finally getting the advantage, Hardy slapped Punk on the shoulder to tag him in. Punk traded back and forth offense with the champs. Punk got beat down and crawled to tag Jeff, but Jeff oversold an eye injury of his own. Punk hit Jericho with the GTS, but Edge got a blind tag and speared him for the win.

Summerslam... Khali... Kane... CHAIR MATCH!

[owenbrown]

Summerslam... Khali... Kane... CHAIR ON A POLE MATCH!

Fixed

[Volare]

Summerslam... Khali... Kane... FLAIMING CHAIR ON A POLE MATCH!

Makes WWE logical sense.

[owenbrown]

Ah Volare one-ups me too.

[Innovator]

STOP PAYING ATTENTION TO SMACKDOWN VINCE

[Dave Youell]

Ahh, CM Punk

Such a victim of circumstance.

[ClockShot]

Ziggy is moving on up.

Yet somehow, "untouchable" R-Truth is going down.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Dolph Ziggler will be the ultimate man if he starts banging Maria, even in kayfabe.

Some of the booking sounds questionable on paper, but we'll see how it turns out.

[St. Jimmy]

Punk is the only worthwhile thing on this show, wow. So glad Edge and Jericho are on both shows now. Also lol Cryme Time beating the Canucks.

[XL]

4. Cryme Tyme defeated The Hart Dynasty. JTG got worked for a while until he made a hot tag to Shad, who pinned David Hart Smith for the win.

I don't get that result in particular. Why bring them up to SmackDown! only to job them straight away!?

[RatedGSuperstar]

Could be the start of a feud between the two teams, in which case I wouldn't mind too much. You could have the Harts claiming that they're tougher because they trained in the Dungeon, and Cryme Tyme says they're tougher because they're from the streets of Brooklyn, etc.

Sounds like Punk is going full-blown heel, which should be great. No doubt the Punk/Hardy rematch will have some kind of No DQ stipulation if Punk keeps trying to weasel out of confrontations due to his eye "injury".

That's what I was thinking, they'll feud for a while until they finally have to meet to decide the #1 contendership for the Unified Tag Team titles, which, personally, I feel Cryme Tyme are long overdue for a lengthy run with.

[Volare]

Is it just me? Or did Jeff Hardy all of a sudden gain Batista's unlimited rematch code.

[Xero]

He was just mashing buttons and came across it. Total fluke.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Once Vince gets his grubby little fingeers on anything it's almost as though the product takes an immediate hit. It's a damned shame.

[Innovator]

Seriously, Rey has an amazing feud with Jericho, looks born again...and back to wrestling giants

[Mr. Nerfect]

Reading further into the spoilers, it seems that The Hart Dynasty and Cryme Tyme are going to trade wins. Cryme Tyme's Word Up segments on SmackDown! are ferociously entertaining, so it doesn't bother me that they're getting to hang in them with Tyson Kidd & David Hart Smith.

[Afterlife]

Ziggy is moving on up.

Yet somehow, "untouchable" R-Truth is going down.

The annoying rapper with a lisp isn't going anywhere? What an unfortheeable thircumthtanth.

(INSERT GENERIC LOCATION HERE!) WE 'BOUT TO GET IT CRANKIN'!...

Nah, but seriously, am I the only one feeling this bastard growing on me week by week? Sometimes, I think, by the end of the year, that man is going to be a Undisputed Tag Team (fuck "Unified", that sounds gay) or Intercontinental Champion.

[Afterlife]

He needs to have his mouth sewn shut.

[Afterlife]

On a side note, very happy to see McIntyre doing dark matches.

[DAMN iNATOR]

SHIT.

Fuckin' Edge appears to need time off. He apparently injured his ankle @ a house show Friday night against Jeff. He was running towards Jeff, and something happened to his ankle, and he was immediately helped out of the arena by EMT's after apologizing to his fans. And so, it sounds pretty nasty at first glance, but time will tell. Hope the Unified Tag Championships won't have to be vacated or that Jericho will need a replacement.

Oh, what a nightmare this is.:'(

[Skippord]

if Jericho's replacement was Christian it would be pretty awesome

[DAMN iNATOR]

if Jericho's replacement was Christian it would be pretty awesome

No, no no skippy you misread...EDGE is injured. Not Jericho.

[Juan]

SOURCE?

[DAMN iNATOR]

SOURCE?

Ivan B. sent along the following:
I am attending a WWE house show here in San Diego, CA. and I just witnessed Edge get injured during his match with Jeff Hardy.
He was running towards Jeff and appeared to have either twisted or even broken his ankle. His foot was in a very awkward position. The match was immediatley stopped.
EMTs came running to attend him and he was helped out of the ring. He even took the time to take the mic and say “sorry” to the fans.

That article has been on literally DOZENS of sites for at least 3.5 hours or so give or take a few minutes. This fucking sucks big time. At least if it was Jericho, Christian would be the fucking perfect replacement. But OH NO, it just HAD to be EDGE instead.:nono:

I do hope he won't need surgery.

One website said that the news came down from one of the more trustworthy dirt sheets too...

[Juan]

Could you point in the direction of said sites? So far I only see it on the front page and on F4Weekly, and it's reported only as a rumor.

strangely enough if you type "wwe superstars spoilers 7/9" on Yahoo! you will get the usual list of dozens of websites and they all have this news. See for yourself. Not tryin' to be lazy here, it's just they pretty much all have that text from that Ivan B. fellow except a few...hang on i'll find links though

http://www.prowrestling.com/article/news/13058 (this is the most specific so far, it says stuff about it may be a torn Achilles tendon, and they are going to try to edit some stuff and tape a match for Monday where the titles can be dropped to The Legacy. Also, they are apparently going over the shot footage of Edge v. Khali to see if they can find a spot to claim where an injury occured in that match rather than at the house show...weird, and quite infuriating, too.)

[Xero]

I have one question to ask you all. It's serious, and I need an answer. I'm super cereal.






WHAT'S UP!?

[DAMN iNATOR]

I have one question to ask you all. It's serious, and I need an answer. I'm super cereal.






WHAT'S UP!?

If ya feel me, stand up and say "whassup?"
Truth: Whassup? Crowd Member: whassup?
Truth: Whassup? Crowd Member: whassup?
(repeat the last two lines)
You can get with this, or you can get with that
You better come get with this, cause this is where it's at
Whassup? (Whassup?) Whassup? (Whassup?)
Whassup? (Whassup?) Whassup? (Whassup?)

I be skippin and jumpin and, leavin the competition
Makin 'em disappear like your favorite magician
I ride that {motherfucker} 'til the wheels fall off
And I bounce 'em back to back 'til they necks get soft
Most of the time you see me, I'm tryin to keep it simple
These are the type of people to get popped like a pimple
Statin my claim to fame
To be one of the baddest-ass {niggaz} to step foot in this game
And I haven't even started yet~!
But you can better believe I'ma yank it off a sure shot bet
Whassup? (Whassup?) Whassup? (Whassup?)
Whassup? (Whassup?) Say WHOA

last "Whassup?" refain + "WHOA!"

Steady stickin and movin like there's no time left
I did it before the fall and like I lost my breath
Baby that's what happens when you snooze you lose
Grip yo' fate when you breakin the rules
They tellin me Jack was nimble, they said he was quick
But I bet that {nigga} can't do the {shit} that I did
Rippin and runnin the tracks, can't believe yo' eyes
The most gifted, intelligent surprise
It ain't even time to give up
I gotta be on my J.O. out like...
Be givin the dap back so you better watch out
And tell that {bitch-ass nigga} keep my name out his mouth

last "Whassup?" refain + "WHOA!"

I'ma keep on pumpin and stompin as I please
I know you see me comin movin like a stampede
Been known for bringin the drama just to {fuck shit} up
It's all because of the drama that enough's enough
Bringin the entertainment, slash, top billing
Suntan Superman, Ron Killings
I be trippin and takin the risks, goin against the grain
Them are the reason and the cause of why I'm insane
Definitely makin impressions, and leavin you standin and guessin
My tongue be goin off like a Smith and Wesson
I can really get posted up, make noise and that's a fact
You better get ready for me, cause IT BE LIKE THAT!

last "Whassup?" refain + "WHOA!" to fade

Yeah, Xero. I went there.:yes: With Steve Blackman. :D We sang our asses off with Ron Killings and loved every minute, before we eventually bludgeoned him with Blackman's nunchakus...stupid sap never even saw it comin'...:shifty:

[Mr. Nerfect]

R-Truth does actually grow on me more and more. But then again, so do a lot of people on SmackDown!.

[Johnny Vegas]

Dude, Punk fucking tore the house down wth that opening promo :y:

[Johnny Vegas]

Might i add that Cryme Tyme's backstage promo was one of the best i've seen for a while. Smackdown is that show right now..at least this last one was :y:

[Mr. Nerfect]

CM Punk's facial expression after saying "just say no" was brilliant. The man has such a shit-eating grin. I'd say that SmackDown! needs a top face if they're going to turn him heel, but I think people might actually pay more money to see Punk as antagonist than they would with him as the hero. At least at this stage of his career.

I also love how many times he stressed "I don't take shortcuts." I'm not sure if this was intentional or not, but all I could think about was how much of a shortcut Money in the Bank is. While I love it when heels are honest and have a point -- and Punk certainly does (without yet being fully heel) -- I just love that there are little chinks in his arguements here and there.

Also, Cryme Tyme are stars to me. I'm actually looking forward to seeing them each week. Their segments with Jesse have been funny, and they are passable in the ring. They have such charisma that I can see both men being valuable stars in their own right. Shad Gaspard is money, in my opinion.

[Mr. Nerfect]

John Morrison is also money. :y:

[Boondock Saint]

A.K.A.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I wish Jesse would actually get to do something. Everytime I've seen him, he seems strangely interesting in the ring. He's also proving he's got the mic skills. The dude could be a great IC Champion.
