MAJOR NEWS COMING OUT OF THE "SMACKDOWN" TAPINGS LAST NIGHT IN BAKERSFIELD, CALIFORNIA. DO NOT CONTINUE TO READ AS THIS REPORT CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THIS WEEK'S SHOW.
Two major title changes went down on Tuesday night at the "Smackdown" tapings with Bobby Lashley defeating JBL for the U.S Title and in the main event Mark Henry winning the World Title from Rey Mysterio.
The reason behind both changes is that JBL has a badly injured back and will be out of action for the next 3-months (this is not the reason he lost at "Judgment Day" as there were other reasons for Rey keeping the title).
Mysterio does need knee surgery, but it is not a given that he will be getting it right away as "Smackdown" is so depleted right now as last night they also did an injury angle to explain Chris Benoit taking time off due to a shoulder injury, there is no target for his return.
They did the leave door open for a possible "disputed" finish on "Smackdown" as the match was never announced as a title match but Henry left with the title, so they could continue with the story that Mysterio's belt has been taken, but he's still champion as it's not confirmed that Mysterio is going for knee surgery.
Batista and Randy Orton will both be back in in the next 3-weeks.
