My random booking of next week's show:
Paul London & Brian Kendrick open against Deuce N' Domino. The Throwbacks don't get in the ring, though. Domino cuts a promo talking about how Paul London & Brian Kendrick cheated at No Way Out to beat them, and they only have one shot left at the Titles before they have to re-contend, so they want to scout London & Kendrick some more. Deuce brings out two guys who were embarrassed last week, and want to earn back their reputation as two of the toughest men to ever lace boots this week: William Regal & Dave Taylor.
London & Kendrick defeat Regal & Taylor via disqualification in a Non-Title Match when Chavo Guerrero & Gregory Helms run-in and attack London & Kendrick. Deuce N' Domino get their jollies out of it. Regal & Taylor are pissed off because they lost the match, though, so they start brawling with Guerrero & Helms. London & Kendrick get their shit together and clean house of the heels, and then stare down Deuce N' Domino for the second week while holding the belts up high.
Backstage, Theodore Long says that Deuce N' Domino have the favour of the Board of Directors, so they won't be challenging London & Kendrick until Backlash, but until then London & Kendrick can pick Deuce N' Domino's opponents. Paul London & Brian Kendrick want Deuce N' Domino to face The Hardys on SmackDown! next week.
Theodore Long calls Kristal into his office, and tells her to close the door.
Finlay makes his entrance, and he taps the steps with his shillelagh to signal Hornswoggle into the ring. Mr. Kennedy comes out, introduces himself from the stage, but then introduces his partner...Finlay is pissed off, but Mr. Kennedy reveals to Finlay that Theodore Long never said it would be a Handicap Match, so Mr. Kennedy theorised that he could choose his own partner. He introduces us to MVP........P. Finlay tells Hornswoggle to get under the ring, and he takes on both up-and-comers, but soundly gets defeated. MVP gets the submission victory with his own version of the Crippler Crossface. Porter then gets in the camera and goes "See, Benoit? See what I'm going to do to you?" Mr. Kennedy pulls Hornswoggle out of the ring, and he goes to give him a Lambeau Leap onto Finlay, but Chris Benoit is out, and he cleans house of the heels.
In the back, Mr. Kennedy is being talked to by Josh Mathews ("filling in for Kristal"). Mr. Kennedy tells Benoit to stay out of his business: Mr. Kennedy has a loaded gun in his Money in the Bank title shot, and he sees no reason why he would not be allowed to challenge Chris Benoit if he so wished. Kennedy points out that the United States Championship isn't exactly a World Title, but it's still a prestigious belt. Hell, who knows, maybe Mr. Kennedy has obsessive compulsive disorder, and he feels like he needs to be United States Champion, again? Maybe he has nightmares about how that Title has alluded him since he's lost it. Benoit better stay focused.
Finlay barges into Theodore Long's office as soon as Kristal leaves. He roughs up Long a bit and asked him why he'd subject Hornswoggle to that. Long asks Finlay what he means. Finlay explains to Long what happened, and Teddy apologises and says he was distracted by Kristal. Long makes Finlay & Chris Benoit vs. Mr. Kennedy & MVP next week.
The Boogeyman makes his entrance for a rare SmackDown! appearance. He is squashed by Kane after a Chokeslam. Kane sets off his pyro as JBL talks about how hard it is to beat The Boogeyman, and only Finlay has ever found his weakness, but Kane just charged right through him.
Sharmell is in the back, and she gets a love letter addressed to her by Shannon Moore. The Reject asks her that now she's gotten rid of her King, if he can be her Prince of Punk. She freaks out.
Chris Benoit defeats Mike Mizanin in a Steel Cage Match. Benoit and Miz work some crazy spots, like a German suplex into the cage wall, a powerbomb off the top rope, a moonsault off the cage. Basically The Miz bumps like shit to earn some respect. The finish comes when Chris Benoit goes for a Diving Headbutt off the cage, and The Miz rolls out of the way, and then puts an arm across Benoit. 1-2...Benoit rolls over, traps the arm and applies the Crippler Crossface! The Miz makes it to the ropes, but Benoit refuses to let go, and the referee can't disqualify him, so The Miz is forced to tap out. Mr. Kennedy and MVP attack Benoit after the match, but Finlay comes out for the save. Kennedy and MVP scramble over the cage as Finlay runs around the ring pissed off.
In the main event, The Hardys face The Undertaker & Batista for the World Tag Team Championship. Jeff Hardy and Matt Hardy both take their turns being isolated. Batista eventually nails The Undertaker with the World Heavyweight Title belt, however, and Matt Hardy gets a pin on the Dead Man, and a non-title tag team fall over the World Heavyweight Champion.
