*Show opens up right away with Jeff Hardy's music playing. The crowd starts to cheer as Jeff Hardy makes his way from the back, with the same steel chair he used last week in his hand. Jeff stands at the top of the aisleway, microphone in the other hand. He raises it to his mouth to speak..
JEFF HARDY: What happened last week, was not an act of a desperate man. It was not the act of a man trying to turn on the fans. It was an act, of a man that wants to make a statement. All my life, I've watched wrestling, and always dreamed of one thing, being the WWE Champion. My brother Matt, he had the ECW Championship until that was taken away from him when ECW folded. My brother got screwed, and so have I! I've heard myself billed as the future for a while now. Well enough of that. It's time for Jeff Hardy to become the present! So you know what? I'm calling out Triple H. And I'm calling him out right now!
*Jeff throws the microphone down and looks back at the entranceway, waiting for Triple H. However, instead of HHH's music, John Cena's music hits & he emerges from the back to a mixed reaction. Jeff just stares at John as he makes his way closer to Hardy.
JOHN CENA: Jeff, what are you doing man? This isn't the real Jeff Hardy. The real Jeff wouldn't walk around demanding people to come out to him, carrying around a steel chair. What's up with you man? You'll definitely be WWE champ one day, just give it...
JEFF: NO JOHN! I'M TIRED OF GIVING IT TIME. I WANT T OBE THE WWE CHAMPION, AND I WANT THE CHAMPIONSHIP NOW!!
JOHN: Jeff, it's starting to become an obsession with you isn't it? You don't just want the WWE title, you need the WWE Title. Well I've been there before Jeff, and I know how you feel. Growing up, all I wanted to do was hold the WWE Title as well. And eventually, it happened for me, and it was the greatest feeling in the world. But I didn't do it by hitting anybody in my path with a steel chair. I did it with pure emotion and pure heart for the business. I have it, and I know you have it too. So Jeff, just put down the damn chair & get your head straight man!
*Jeff looks down, as if to be in deep thought. Jeff nods his head and holds his hand out to shake John's. John extends his hand & Jeff & John shake hands.*
JEFF: You're right John. I've come so close to many times, it's going to happen sooner rather then later. And in order for it to be the most satisfying, I have to do it the right way. So thanks John!
JOHN: No problem Jeff. I knew this wasn't the real Jeff Hardy we saw last week or just a few minutes ago. You got what's needed kid. You just have...
*All of a sudden, Jeff Hardy turns and cracks John Cena over the head with the steel chair causing the crowd to both cheer & boo. Jeff looks down at Cena with a blank stare as the camera fades to commercial...*
*COMMERCIAL BREAK**
TAZZ: Wow, I cannot believe what we just saw before that commercial break Matt. This truly is a side of Jeff Hardy we've never seen before
MATT STRIKER: And to be honest Tazz, I like it! I think more guys on this roster need to show that kind of aggression Jeff is showing. In fact, I love it!
Mr. Kennedy Vs. MVP
RESULTS: MVP attacked Kennedy as soon as he entered the ring, targeting Kennedy's recent injuries. MVP controlled most of the match and appeared primed for the win when he went for the The Playmaker, but Kennedy escaped it and took over. During the match, Maryse came down with a clipboard and was writing stuff down throughout the match. MVP went for a flying clothesline but Kennedy ducked. As MVP got up, Kennedy hit the Mic Check on Montell, covered him, and got the 3 count for the win. Kennedy looked up and saw Maryse, who was now clapping after Kennedy's win. She blew him a kiss then walked to the back as Kennedy looked confused..
*Scene in the back shows Stone Cold sitting backstage when he is confronted by John Cena..*
STONE COLD: Hey John, hows it going?
JOHN CENA: I know you're the man & all Austin, but I'm not in the mood for jokes right now. I want Hardy, that little punk ass bitch, in that ring tonight!
AUSTIN Yeah I saw that. Wasn't a very smart move on Jeff's part. You know what John? You want Jeff later tonight, you got him! But, I'm going to add a little more spice to this match. The winner, will face Triple H at Armageddon for the WWE Championship. Sound good?
CENA: Sounds great Austin. Not only will I kick Jeff's ass and teach him a lesson, I'll earn my shot at the title again...
*Another scene backstage shows Brie & Nikki Bella talking backstage with Jimmy Wang Yang when suddenly, disco lights & all come on as Kung Fu Naki comes into the picture. The 4 of them start dancing once again as the camera's cut to commercial...*
**COMMERCIAL BREAK**
EZEKIEL w/THE BRIAN KENDRICK Vs. CARLITO w/Primo Colon
RESULTS: During this match, Primo & Kendrick started fighting on the outside which caused the ref to get distracted. Kendrick ran in the ring followed by Colon and the ref tried to get Primo out of the ring. While this was going on, Kendrick hit Carlito with Sliced Bread #2, then took Primo back to the outside. Ezekiel then hit a legdrop and pinned Carlito for the win. Afterwards, Kendrick got on the microphone.
THE BRIAN KENDRICK: Well, there you go everybody. Last week, I defeated Primo Colon here in this ring. And just now, my man Ezekiel DOMINATED Carlito. So two weeks in a row, myself & Ezekiel have defeated the World Tag Team Champions. So what that means, ladies & gentlemen, is that you are all looking at the next World TagTeam Champions!!
*Kendrick throws the microphone down and taunts Colon, who is tending to Carlito...*
**COMMERCIAL BREAK**
*Paul Burchill's music plays and he comes out with his sister, Katie Lea. They get into the ring and Paul requests a microphone..*
PAUL BURCHILL: Okay, enough is enough. I'm tired of not being utilized correctly here in the WWE. Katie Lea wants me to go to the top of the WWE ladder, and what Katie Lea wants, Katie gets! So I'm making an open challenge to anybody in the back that wants some action. Just come on downnnnn!!
*Paul throws the microphone down & waits. Suddenly, the lights go out and the Boogeyman's music plays. The Boogeyman comes out from the back & does his usual creepy entrance. He walks down to the ring and rolls into it. He gets in Paul's face & smiles as he puts a mouthful of worms in his own mouth. Paul attacks Boogeyman, starting the next matchup.
PAUL BURCHILL w/Katie Lea Vs. THE BOOGEYMAN
RESULTS: Paul attacked Boogeyman first with a couple of kicks to the gut. Paul then threw Boogeyman into the ropes and lowered his head and Boogeyman DDT'd Paul, taking advantage. Boogeyman then took advantage & took the assault to Paul. Katie Lea got on the apron and Boogeyman went after her. He grabbed her and was about to give her a mouthful of worms, but Paul got to Boogeyman first. Paul then hit the C4 on Boogeyman and pinned him to get the win, much to Katie Lea's delight.
*Scene in back shows Mr. Kennedy walking around when he runs into Jeff Hardy..*
KENNEDY: Jeff, what the hell is going on with you man? Last week me & you kicked ass in that ring as a team. Then you go & attack everybody last week? And John Cena tonight?
HARDY: I'm not here to impress you Kennedy. Or anybody else. I'm here for one person & one person only...MYSELF!
*Hardy bumps Kennedy with his shoulder as he walks by him. Kennedy just shrugs it off then walks a little further until he walks into Michelle McCool..*
KENNEDY: Hey Michelle! Long time no see. Thanks again for taking out Katie last week
MCCOOL: Again, I just did what I felt was right Ken. Katie had no business in that match, or in that match that just happened. She'll get whats coming to her. But I wanted to talk to you about something Ken. I noticed Marsye during your match earlier. Now, rumor has it that she plans to recruit a stable of guys to parade around that she can control. I wouldn't trust her Ken!
KENNEDY: Oh she can watch me all she wants. I'm not interested in Marsye's services. Now you on the other hand, I'm pretty interested in..
*Michelle blushes & turns her head away. Suddenly, Paul Burchill & Katie Lea come into the picture..*
PAUL: HA! Did you see that win Kennedy? You see me kick that freaks ass out there, didn't ya?
KENNEDY: Yeah, I saw it. Quite impressive how you had to use your sister, or whatever she is to you, to help you out. REAL IMPRESSIVE THERE!
PAUL: Oh your so funny Ken. Apparently you didn't quite see the match as it was Boogeyman that got my sister involved. He caused the distracted himself, not Katie!
KENNEDY: Well, either way Paul. Whether you won or not, you really didn't impress me in that ring. In fact, you usually don't to be honest.
PAUL: Oh, is that so Ken? Well then how bout next week, we see just how impressive I am when I kick your ass in that ring.
KENNEDY: Well, if that's a challenge, then I accept!
MCCOOL: Oh, and just to make sure your tramp sister don't get involved, I'll be in Kennedy's corner to even the odds!
KATIE: TRAMP SISTER!?! I ain't no tramp Michelle. You're the one running around in barely any clothing just to turn a couple heads. So go ahead, be in his corner next week. I'll just smash your face in the ground!
*Suddenly, a brawl starts with McCool & Katie. Paul & Kennedy grab both women and seperate them. Paul yells that he'll see Kennedy next week as Kennedy calms McCool down..*
**COMMERCIAL BREAK**
JESSE & FESTUS w/Maria Vs. ZAC RYDER & CURT HAWKINS
RESULTS: Jesse & Festus dominated most of this match and eventually picked up the win by hitting a spike piledriver on Ryder then Jesse pinning him. Not much else to note with this match..
*Scene in back shows Stone Cold once again in his office when The Big Show comes barging in..*
AUSTIN: God damn, I got to get that lock fixed I assume. What in the hell do you want now?
BIG SHOW: I want to know why you gave Cena & Hardy the chance to be the #1 contender but not me. I'm the largest athlete in the world Austin. In fact, i shouldn't even have to do anything to earn the shot. I should get it automatically!
*Before Austin can say anything, somebody else barges into the room. Now it's Vladimir Koslov.*
VLADIMIR: Koslov wants to be the WWE Champion. I did not like how Jeff Hardy attacked myself & Big Show last week. Now he gets shot at WWE Title? Vladimir Koslov deserves that shot more then anybody..
BIG SHOW: Woah Woah hold up there Koslov. You might be impressive, but you haven't done nearly as much as I have. If anybody out of you, me, hardy & cena deserve it, it's me.
KOSLOV: I disagree. While you might be the largest athlete, I'm the the MOSCOW MAULER! I defeat all challengers.
AUSTIN: Tell you what. How bout next week, here on Smackdown, Vladimir Koslov Vs. The Big Show. And the winner will also get a shot at Triple H at Armageddon, making it a triple threat match..
KOSLOV: Sounds good. Koslov likes a challenge. And at Armageddon, Koslov will be champion!
*Koslov walks off as Big Show gives Austin a snarling look, then also walks off.*
**COMMERCIAL BREAK**
*Shelton Benjamin's music hits and he makes his way down to the ring for color commentary. He lays the United States Title on the announce table and gets himself ready..*
REMATCH-R TRUTH Vs. CHAVO GUERRERO
RESULTS: Right away, Shelton proved to be a problem for R-Truth as two distractions caused Chavo to get the upper hand. At one point, Shelton distracted the ref and tossed the brass knucks into Chavo. However, R-Truth grabbed them first and nailed Chavo with them. Truth then hit Benjamin with a clothesline knocking him out of the ring. Truth then covered Chavo & got the three.
*After the match, R-Truth grabbed a microphone...
R-TRUTH: Benjamin, you might of cost me my match last week, but I wasn't about to let it happen again. I don't know what your problem with me is, but I know I have a problem with you. And that problem is that I want the United States Title. So how about next week, me & you, for the United States Title! What do ya say champ!
SHELTON BENJAMIN: Quite frankly, you haven't proved to me that you are United States Champion material. So sorry to break it to ya Truth, but no!
*Benjamin has a cocky look on his face as he makes his way backstage. R-Truth just looks on, looking pissed off...*
*Backstage scene shows John Cena walking towards the ring, then Jeff Hardy. As Jeff is making his way to the ring, Edge is shown standing to the side. He stops Jeff..
EDGE: Jeff, don't listen to what Cena or any of these other idiots are saying. I like what you've been doing lately. Keep it up man.
JEFF: Edge, I don't know what you're trying to do here, but again, I'm not doing this to impress anybody. And that includes you. Just stay out of my way!
*Jeff pushes Edge away and continues walkin towards the ring...*
**COMMERCIAL BREAK**
MAIN EVENT-#1 CONTENDERSHIP OF WORLD TITLE-JOHN CENA Vs. JEFF HARDY
RESULTS: Jeff came down holding the chair but the referee took it away from Jeff before the match. This was an excellent back & forth match. At one point, Jeff knocked Cena out with a running powerbomb but only got a 2. Jeff then went to the top for a Swanton Bomb but Cena moved, causing Jeff to crash into the ground. Cena then hit the FU and pinned Jeff to become the #1 contender.
*As Cena was celebrating his win, Jeff went to the outside, grabbed the chair and nailed Cena once again with it, this time in the back. As Cena was down, Jeff raised the chair to hit John again but Triple H's music came on and he ran down to the ring. Jeff waited for him & HHH took him out. HHH threw Jeff into the ropes but Jeff slid out of the ring and started retreating up the ramp. HHH then helped Cena up, only to hit him with a Pedegree too. HHH posed with the Title as the camera's fades out...*
