JULY 29, 2004 - SMACKDOWN!

The last show of July kicks off with eight-man tag action featuring the cruiserweight division! Chavo Guerrero leads his team of Funaki, Nova, and Zach Gowan against Johnny Jeter's team of Akio, Generalin Intikami, and Nunzio. Quick tags to start the match until the faces isolate Nunzio. Eventually, though, he manages to tag out to the British newcomer Intikami, allowing the heels to work over Funaki. Chavo picks up the win for his team by hitting his brainbuster on Intikami.

SmackDown! will see seven new superstars debut tonight, including the following six-man tag match. It's Brian Kendrick, Colt Cabana, and Jay Briscoe against BJ Whitmer, Christian York, and Trent Acid! Christian York spends the early-going against all three babyfaces until he and his teammates manage to isolate Brian Kendrick and work him over. Cabana winds up pinning York with his trademark slingshot legdrop to give the babyfaces the win.

Our seventh debut of the night pits Matt Stryker against Jamie Noble. They have a good match that lets Stryker show off his skills against an evenly-matched opponent. Stryker makes his debut a successful one with the Stryker Driver.

The Hurricane leads his Superfriends Aaron Stevens and The Blueprint into six-man action against Carlito, John Layfield, and "Nature Boy" Dave Batista. Can you tell I'm trying to use the whole roster on the last show of the month? The heels work over Hurricane early, then Batista takes over, working over all three superheroes. Eventually, it comes down to Hurricane and Carlito, with 'cane hitting the Eye of the Hurricane for the win.

World Tag Team Champions John Cena and The Rock head to the ring to a massive pop. They put over the fourway match from Vengeance, and issue a new challenge. If the Hardyz want to take The Rock and Cena's spots, then let's make this interesting. The Hardyz want to rule SmackDown!, they need to control everything, including the World Tag Team Titles. And we want your singles belts. So a challenge is issued. Our titles for yours. If either Rock or Cena pins either Matt or Jeff, they win their respective title. If either Hardy pins either Rock or Cena, they control all the belts. It's a match that WWE hasn't seen in seven years - the Tripleheader Match!

Yay more six-man matches! This time it's Chris Kanyon (who's now short a tag partner thanks to Billy Gunn's injury) teaming with Teddy Long's Playas' Club against all three Dudley Boyz. Bubba starts the match and gets isolated by the heels until Mark Henry starts cleaning house. Eventually, though, Bubba bounces back and puts Nowinski away with the Bubba Bomb.

Cruiserweight Champion Rey Mysterio is up next against former champion (and former best friend) Billy Kidman. These two put on a tremendous match, showcasing why Kidman still deserves to be in the conversation as far as challengers for Mysterio's title. Eventually, Rey hits the West Coast Pop on Kidman, but gets laid out as Tajiri hits the ring and lays him out with a punch. The ref disqualifies Kidman, but Rey manages to fight off both heels to stand strong.

Tajiri remains in the ring, as his match with Rico is up next. This match isn't as good as its predecessor (but, to be fair, the bar was set really high). The match ends as Tajiri hits a springboard dropkick, then distracts the official. Amid the confusion, Christian hits the ring with a chair, then lays out Rico! Clearly Christian still holds a grudge after Rico pinned him at Vengeance. Christian leaves the ring, and Tajiri picks up the pieces, blasting Rico with the Kick of Death for the win. After the match, the heels are double-teaming Rico until Mysterio returns to the ring to drive off the heels.

Our trio of cruiserweight showcase matches comes to a close as Christian stays in the ring for a match against Paul London. It's a very good match, although it still can't live up to Rey/Kidman from earlier. Christian picks up the win with the Unprettier, but after the match, Rico gets his revenge, laying Christian out with the same chair!

World Tag Team Champions John Cena and The Rock are in non-title action in our main event against bitter rivals Brock Lesnar and Eddie Guerrero. Eddie and Brock have been at each others' throats for weeks, so it's strange that SmackDown! General Manager "Stone Cold" Steve Austin made this match. Unless it's the old wrestling standby of putting rivals in a tag match so that they fight each other to sell the next pay-per-view! Nah...... Oh, wait. Brock accidentally hits Eddie in the face with Rock's legs on an F-5 attempt. Rock swoops in and lands the Rock Bottom for the win. After the match, the Hardy Boyz charge the ring. Rock takes a Swanton Bomb, then the Hardyz put Cena through the announce table!

After the match, Brock challenges Eddie for one last match at Summerslam, and Eddie accepts! Who saw that coming?!?
