BATISTA LOSES SHOT
For the first time in seemingly months, Batista will not be the number one contender for the World Heavyweight Championship. An egotistical Batista gloated about how "Smackdown needs him" to challenge for the title every month.
Theodore Long answered this by putting Batista in a non-title match against Mysterio, with the stipulation being that if Batista lost, he would NOT be number one contender. As you could probably guess, Rey was victorious. Furthermore, Long announced that a new number 1 contender would be determined in 2 week's time via 20-man battle royal.
It was a busy night for Long. He was essentially forced to acquire two superstars: Big Daddy V and Matt Striker, due to threats from V and the Undertaker himself. All Long had to do was decide who would be sent to ECW for compensation, but we'll get to that either.
V had himself quite the Smackdown debut, making quick work of the Major Brothers. After the bout, the lights once again went off....however this time Striker and V remained...with the Undertaker in the ring. The two giants brawled, and Taker got the better of the exchange, knocking Striker off the ramp as well. Taker says that V needs to prepare to rest in peace.
Kenny Dykstra cost himself his job on Smackdown. While smooching with his girlfriend Victoria, he just had to rub it in to Theodore Long as he walked by. Just like that, Long informed Dykstra that he would be one of the superstars sent over to ECW as compensation. So much for that relationship.
The other superstar ended up being none other than Kristal, who was meant to be Long's bride. Kristal interfered in Val's favor during a D'Lo/Val re-match...and made out with Val after, prompting a clearly upset Long to announce that Kristal would be sent to ECW to complete the deal.
Chris Masters made his first Smackdown appearance in quite some time, but he came up short, losing to "The Big Red Machine" Kane.
Jamie Noble made a successful Cruiserweight Title defense against Jesse Dalton, before being attacked by Finlay and Hornswoggle afterward. What's in it for next week as this feud continues?
In another title defense, United States Champion MVP defended his title against the tough biker Chuck Palumbo. After, MVP made sure to gloat about how he has put Matt Hardy out of action for a long time.
