~The show kicks off with a World Heavyweight Title-less, Edge, an ECW Title-less, Chavo Guerrero and the rest of their posse, which includes Smackdown General Manager, Vickie Guerrero, Assistant GM Teddy Long, Zach Ryder and Curt Hawkins. Both Edge and Chavo say tell Vickie that they both feel bad for losing their titles at Wrestlemania. So, Vickie Guerrero grants Edge a rematch with The Undertaker for the World Heavyweight Title and Chavo Guerrero a rematch with Kane for the ECW Title. Both matches will take place at WWE's next PPV event, Backlash. Vickie also announces that the main event for this episode of Smackdown would have The Undertaker taking on Kane in a match.
-That makes everybody happy.
-Matt Hardy defeats WWE United States Champion, MVP, in a non-title match.
-Festus runs over Zach Ryder.
-Batista chews Shawn Michaels out for retiring Ric Flair at Wrestlemania. Let it go Batista.
-The Undertaker and Kane have a staredown.
-The debuting Vladimir Kozlov beats Matt Bentley (who is actually the nephew of Shawn Michaels in real life).
-WWE Tag Team Champions, John Morrison & The Miz and Jimmy Wang Yang & Shannon Moore try to have a match until...
-The Great Khali attacks!!!
-Big Show comes out and just like on Monday's Raw, punks out The Great Khali.
-It's time for the finale of the Smackdown Diva Competition. It's down to Michelle McCool and Cherry and as expected McCool wins. As a result, she gets a shiny new bike.
-Victoria, who was eliminated from the contest a few weeks back, starts hatin' on Michelle and says that she is the #1 woman on Smackdown and not "McDrool". Well them's fightin' words and this causes a fight to break out between Victoria and Michelle McCool.
-Michelle seems to be getting the better of the exchange until some "unidentified woman" comes out of the crowd and attacks Michelle McCool and Cherry.
-The new World Heavyweight Champion, The Undertaker, and the new ECW champion, Kane, try to have a match until...
-They get jumped by Edge, Chavo Guerrero and them other two people but...
-That doesn't end very well for the former champions.
I understand that Smackdown GM Vickie Guerrero can make a match between Edge and Undertaker because they both are Smackdown wrestlers. But how in the hell can she make a match between Kane and Chavo Guerrero, two ECW wrestlers, for the ECW title? ECW has a general manager, if I were Armando Estrada, I wouldn't take that.
As much as I love Festus, I hope they keep Jesse and Festus as a team. I don't know why, I just like them as a team.
Jeez Batista, are you the only one in the world who could see how old Ric Flair was? I mean, I thought it was funny when Flair declared that he would "never retire" but if I knew he meant it, my smile would have left my face so fast...Besides that, I think this was a good transition towards a feud between Batista and Shawn Michaels.
I don't know about Vladimir Kozlov, his entrance has no music, just a spotlight (*snickers*). I have never ever seen that before. Seriously though, I didn't think his debut was all that bad. It was short and painless.
The "unidentified woman" was actually the debuting Nattie Neidhart. She's had quite a buzz about her for a while now and is said to be a solid wrestler from what I hear.
That broadcast announcing team on Smackdown of Michael Cole and Johnathan Coachman is just terrible, horrible, no-good, bland, boring, need I say more. They are just bland bad, period.
