Might as well post the results for Judgment Day. The main stories so far for this SmackDown! PPV have been the continuing feud between the cruiserweights and the heavyweights with Jason Cross and Rhyno assuming de facto leadership status for their respective groups; CM Punk and MVP have begun a bit of a feud of their own stemming from CM Punk's last appearance on the V.I.P. Lounge; Cody Rhodes has taken up Shawn Michaels on his request to step up and has proceeded to challenge the Heartbreak Kid; Jack Swagger intends to finally make Kane responsible for his actions and has even gone so far as to get the Choke Slam banned from their match at Judgment Day; Kofi Kingston intends to beat an answer out of Shad as to who is one responsible for trying make sure Kofi never becomes World Champion (a hooded individual cost Kofi the World Title against Jason Collins); Cash Stevens earned another rematch against Ian Moore for the Intercontinental Title; Mr. Kennedy and Christian look to finish things once and for all between them; Chris Sylvain is challenging Jason Collins for the World Heavyweight Title.

Last minute trades:
Raw gets Oracle, Jeremy Matthews, Scott Andrews
SmackDown! gets Keith Jacobs, Kent Jacobs, Mike Knox, Mark Jindrak
All of these moves were done before Judgment Day and so didn't take effect until after the PPV so the stipulation for the title match between Chris Sylvain and Jason Collins was that Sylvain could stay on SmackDown! if he was successful in capturing the World Heavyweight Title. And now, the results:
Jason Cross defeated Rhyno when Mark Mason, a cruiserweight Cross had been trying to enlist for help, made an apparent face turn and interfered on Cross's behalf.
CM Punk defeated MVP.
Mr. Kennedy defeated Christian.
Cash Stevens pinned Ian Moore to become the Intercontinental Champion for the third time.
Kane beat Jack Swagger.
Kofi Kingston defeated Shad in a Last Man Standing match. Afterwards, Kofi tries to get Shad to talk by pounding the ever-loving piss out of him but Shad still refuses so Kofi completely annihilates him with the aid of a ladder and the announce table.
Shawn Michaels pinned Cody Rhodes. Rhodes oddly enough accepts a handshake.
Jason Collins defeated Chris Sylvain to retain the World Heavyweight Championship after pretty much the entire SmackDown! roster comes on down to prevent Sylvain from bailing or cheating. Kane looks like he's going to cash in Money in the Bank on Collins but instead looks to Sylvain and starts singing "Na Na Na Na...." He still choke slams Collins though.
End of the month proceedings:
Chris Masters, Ivory, Mark Henry, Chad Collyer, and Chris Michaels all get canned.
Next PPV: Night of Champions
