(pics from WWE.com)

~Last week on Smackdown, The Undertaker successfully defended the World Heavyweight Title against Batista, Edge beats CM Punk, MVP appears on Smackdown as the US champion for the last time, Natalya beats Cherry and Vladimir Kozlov claims another victim. Here's what went down this week:


-WWE Tag Team Champions, John Morrison & The Miz defend their titles against Jimmy Wang Yang & Shannon Moore.


-Vladimir Kozlov destroys Colin Delaney.


-Natalya & Victoria beat Michelle McCool & Cherry.


-Mark Henry roughs up Nunzio for the second time in two weeks. The first was on the 4/22 edition of ECW.


-Big Show tells Henry to pick on someone his own size.


-Matt Hardy successfully defends the WWE United States Title against MVP in a rematch from Backlash.


-Batista, fresh off his loss to Shawn Michaels at Backlash , is in the ring with Smackdown color commentator, Mick Foley, and he says that he hopes for Shawn's sake that he actually hurt himself during their match and was not faking it because if he's not hurt, he will be. Them's fightin' words!


-Zach Ryder & Curt Hawkins defeat Jesse & Festus.


-Finlay, with aid from his son, Hornswoggle, beats some guy named Julio Dinero.


-The Undertaker was supposed to defend the World Heavyweight Title against The Great Khali but Smackdown General Manager, Vickie Guerrero, comes out, with her boyfriend, Edge, and cancels the match. She says that The Undertaker's new submission finisher, dubbed "that move", is actually an illegal choke thus the matches that he's won using "that move", including his World Heavyweight Title win against Edge at Wrestlemania and the rematch at Backlash , have been thrown out and he is stripped of the title.


-The Great Khali goes to take the belt away from The Undertaker...


-...but he get caught in "that move". Edge's buddies, Zach Ryder & Curt Hawkins sneak in the ring while Khali is being choked out and take the World Heavyweight Title anyway.


Wow, I did not see The Undertaker losing the World Heavyweight Title like this. I think I'm sensing a little pattern here with WWE, it seems that they are really pushing these cliffhanger endings, and I'm certainly a fan of them.


Speaking of patterns, I hope this isn't the beginning of Jesse & Festus getting buried week in and week out. Festus loss a match to The Undertaker a few weeks back and this week, him and Jesse loss to Edge's friends. Hopefully, they'll get back on the right track next week.

I find it funny that Big Show is telling Mark Henry to pick on someone his own size but almost two months ago, Show was talking about ending the career of Floyd Mayweather, who is nowhere near the size of the Big Show.

I am digging these segments with Vladimir Kozlov. He is quickly becoming one of my Smackdown favorites.
