AUGUST 6, 2004 - SMACKDOWN!

It's an all-wrestling edition of SmackDown! to kick off our new Friday nights on Spike TV timeslot! The announce team of new hire Dan Wilson and the legendary James E. Cornette welcome us to the show. It's eleven huge matches, and SmackDown! General Manager Steve Austin has declared a no-contact rule between the participants in the Tripleheader Ladder Match at Summerslam. For the next three weeks, unless it's part of a sanctioned match, the Hardy Boyz and The Rock and John Cena must remain apart. No interfering in each others' matches and no backstage attacks. The main event tonight, though, is a sanctioned one-on-one encounter between Cena and the WWE Champion Matt Hardy!

We open up with six-man cruiserweight action as Spike Dudley and Funaki team with the exciting newcomer Brian Kendrick against BJ Whitmer, Christian York, and Trent Acid who are calling themselves The New Generation. Last week they came up short in their debut, and they're hoping to bounce back tonight. Kendrick and Whitmer carry most of the match, with Kendrick taking offense from all three heels mid-match. Eventually, Whitmer puts Funaki away with a frogspalsh to give his stable their first win.

More cruiser action is next as two aspiring contenders to Rey Mysterio's title go head-to-head. It's a battle between former WCW Jung Dragons Jamie Noble and Akio! They put on a tremendous match, as only two men who know each other so well can. Noble picks up the win with a Tiger Driver.

The following match, pitting Aaron Stevens against Chris Nowinski was cut short when Nowinski's Playas' Club teammate Mark Henry attacked Stevens, resulting in a DQ. After the match, The Hurricane hits the ring to make the save with a chair, driving Nowinski and Henry off.

Up next is an eight-man tag match as Chavo Guerrero teams with Nova and the Dudley Boyz against Carlito, Chris Kanyon, John Layfield, and Nunzio! This was a very exciting match that exhibited all eight men, although Kanyon spent the majority of the match on the apron. D-Von picks up the win for his team, planting Nunzio with his lifting reverse DDT.

"Nature Boy" Dave Batista has been floundering since losing his Intercontinental Title, and tonight he faces off against The Hurricane. Solid match that gets a big boost from the fans being way into both men. Eventually, Bats whips Hurricane off the ropes, where Mark Henry lays waiting with a chair. Hurricane stumbles forward into a Batista Bomb for the loss. After the match, Henry shoves the referee aside and pummels Hurricane some more. The World's Strongest Man walks off, having laid out the leader of the Superfriends!

Last week, a trio of cruiserweight matches were marred by interference, and two of those participants are up next. It's Rico versus Billy Kidman! Good match that ends with Rico again getting jumped by Christian, allowing Kidman to pick up the win with a Shooting Star Press. After the match, the heels double-team Rico.

Christian remains in the ring for a match with his old rival, Cruiserweight Champion Rey Mysterio. Once again, a solid match gets made way better by a hot crowd. Rey hops up onto the ropes for a West Coast Pop, but Tajiri hops out of the crowd and grabs his leg resulting in a DQ. After the match, Tajiri sends Rey into the ring post. Christian joins in on the beating until a battered Rico heads down to the ring to save the champ, driving off the heels.

Up next is a red-hot 95% quality match that pits Tajiri against the fastest-rising star in the cruiserweight division, Paul London! London misses a big elbow drop, and Tajiri lands a dropkick, a back heel kick, and the Kick of Death to put him away. After the match, Rey Mysterio returns tot he ring with a chair to lay out his rival. The top tier of the Cruiserweight division seem to be intent on destroying each other!

Eddie Guerrero heads to the ring for a big match with Intercontinental Champion Jeff Hardy. Hardy's title is not on the line, and Eddie has to know that his Summerslam opponent Brock Lesnar is lying in wait and that he can get no help from John Cena and The Rock, who have been forbidden from contact with the Hardyz. This winds up being a bit of a disappointment. Eventually, they redo the chair-off-the-ropes spot as Lesnar lays Eddie out, allowing Jeff to roll him up for the win. After the match, Brock nails Eddie with a chair shot tot he head, followed by two across the back. He then drop toeholds him across the chair! Eddie is a bloody mess and Lesnar stands tall!

Lesnar remains in the ring as he takes on The Rock. Lesnar took full advantage of Rock and Cena being unable to even the odds, and now Eddie Guerrero looks to be in no condition to face Lesnar at Summerslam in sixteen days. These two old rivals pick right up where they left off months ago, tearing into each other in an incredible match. Lesnar looks about to pick up a win against the co-holder of the World Tag Team Titles with the F-5. However, as he's laying on the mat after the move, Eddie Guerrero came out of nowhere with a frogsplash! Eddie is barely able to stand, but he pulls himself up to the top rope again... for a second frogsplash! And a third! Eddie Guerrero has to have internal injuries, but the damage has been done to Lesnar as well! What more can these two men do to each other at Summerslam?!?

Our main event of the evening is a sanctioned contest between WWE Champion Matt Hardy Version 2.0 and John Cena, the man he won the belt from! Rock and Jeff have been barred from involvement in this match, and the old rivals give fans a hot preview of the Tripleheader Ladder Match. Eventually, Cena manages to pull off the victory with an F-U. But after the match, Hardy gets revenge with the Twist of Fate and stands tall as SmackDown! goes off the air.
