Dark Match:
* Takeshi Morishima w/Tony Atlas b. Jamie Noble
- Morishima, the former Ring of Honor Champion, got the win via pinfall.

* Maria b. Natalya
- Maria got the win via disqualification. Maryse came out and interfered.

* 10 Man Battle Royal
Winner earns a spot in the WWE Title Scramble at Unforgiven
- Brian Kendrick won the match which earned him a spot in the scramble. Some of the participants were: Big Show, Super Crazy, Curt Hawkins, Zack Ryder, Jimmy Wang Yang, and Vladimir Kozlov. Big Show cleaned house, but Kendrick ended up with the win.

* MVP b. Festus
- MVP got the win via countout to earn a spot in the WWE Title Scramble at Unforgiven.

- Shelton got the win via pinfall to earn a spot in the WWE Title Scramble at Unforgiven. After the match Mike Knox came down and attacked Finlay.

* Jeff Hardy b. The Great Khali
- Hardy earns a spot in the WWE Title Scramble at Unforgiven. He gets the win via pinfall!

* Triple H comes in the ring and delivers a promo on what he thinks of his opponents for Unforgiven. Kenny Dykstra comes out to interrupt but is quickly pedigreed.

* The Undertaker comes out so Vickie & La Familia can apologize to him. Taker doesn't accept and says he wants Vickie's soul and chases her. He then beats up La Familia.

The smackdown scramble match, is going to be friggan awesome. Probably spot heavy, but awesome.

"Taker doesn't accept and says he wants Vickie's soul and chases her."

lol

La Familia is a pretty awesome stable actually.

Kendrick vs MVP vs Shelton vs Hardy vs H? Damn.

Wow...I might just order Unforgiven

They shouldn't be doing gimmicks like this so close to Survivor Series.

In fact, this could have just been the Survivor Series theme and I would have been fine with that.

More than likely the participants of the matches will face each other in a raw v. smackdown thing with two people from ecw each or some shit.

Sounds like a strange show.

Who honestly thought 6 months ago that Kendrick would be main eventing a PPV?

Paul London will be WHC champ soon for all we know.

What's more important, is that the match has to last 20 minutes, so HHH can't uber squash them.... Granted I suppose he could pedigree them all and cut a 19 minute promo...

HHH probably won't even drop a fall

Exactly.

Load up the ME with guys that are disposable and make the King of Kings look like God for 20 minutes. I'm not that excited, TBH.

There is a chance this will be a Triple H blowjob, but I'm thinking that it won't go down like that. Especially seeing as the WWE has been pushing Kendrick so purposely, and has inserted him into this match. I mean, he technically went over Big Show to get in.

You also have Jeff Hardy and MVP, two guys the WWE likes, and that Triple H has sort of gone out of his way to put over (moreso Hardy, who spat it back, but his promo with MVP on his SmackDown! debut put Porter on some even ground, at least). Also, Triple H has dropped some wins to Shelton in the past.

If the young guys in this match (especially Kendrick, MVP and Benjamin) don't work together to make sure Triple H is in dire condition during this match, then it won't make sense. To be honest, this is the perfect way to get the WWE Title off Triple H without making him look like a bitch, and creating new talent.

tee-hee

CMON MVP

If Hunter is going to drop the title to anyone, it better be MVP.

Might be SLIGHTLY premature, but I think he's close enough.

He's the closest of anyone there, closer than Hardy

I still say Hardy would be a huge mistake, and will continue to for at least a year and a half.
