AUGUST 20, 2004 - SMACKDOWN!

It's the last show before Summerslam, and the participants in Sunday night's Tripleheader Ladder Match will be in action in a pair of tag team matches tonight. Plus, Rey Mysterio defends the Cruiserweight Title just two days before his big match with Tajiri, and a red-hot cruiserweight tag match pitting Rico and Paul London against Christian and Billy Kidman!

The show kicks off with a match between Funaki and Akio! The two Japanese cruiserweights put on a great show. Akio gets a near fall early after a spinning bulldog, then another after a flying axehandle, then a third after a face crusher. Funaki fights back with martial arts moves, and a sick tiger spulex. Eventually, though, Akio's speed proves too much as he hits Hang Time for the victory.

"Nature Boy" Dave Batista and John Layfield have become a force to be reckoned with in the tag division of late, and tonight Jamie Noble and Nova have the misfortune of being fed to them. Eventually, Batista puts Nova away with the Batista Bomb.

Six-man tag action is next as all three Dudley Boyz take on the makeshift trio of Carlito, Chris Kanyon, and Chris Nowinski. The Dudleyz start the match by triple-teaming Carlito, until the heels manage to isolate D-Von. In the end, Bubba gets a hot tag and hits Carlito with a Bubba Cutter for the win.

Christian comes out to the ring for his big tag match and cuts a promo about his match on Sunday against Rico. Rico has certainly come a long way since he started in WWE. Once one of the biggest jokes on the roster, Rico has really blossomed into one of the bigger stars on SmackDown!, and it's only a matter of time before he starts to legitimately challenge at the top of the card. Christian, on the other hand, hasn't come a long way. Because he hasn't needed to. When you win a championship in your debut match, there isn't a whole lot of room for improvement. Christian has always been at the top of the card, and Rico's a fool if he thinks that he's going to be the one that gives him the rub. It's obvious who's going over Sunday night, and Rico's no doubt going to put on a great show, but it's just not going to be enough. Christian's going to put Rico away, then it's on to the WWE Championship. 'Cause that's how he rolls!

The crowd ate the tag match up, and we got great teases for Sunday's Kidman/London and Rico/Christian matches. Eventually, Rico sets up for his spinning leg lariat, but instead eats a set of brass knuckles, courtesy of Captain Charisma. Christian gets the cheap pin and the momentum going into Summerslam!

Cruiserweight Champion Rey Mysterio comes to the ring for his title defense against Nunzio next, but first he cuts a brief promo on Tajiri. These two have put on some tremendous matches over the years, and he's looking forward to raising the bar again. But this thing with Tajiri has gone beyond being a professional rivalry. It's gone beyond the two best cruiserweights in the world trying to prove who's truly number one. And that's why I'm going to take more pleasure than I probably should when I kick your head clean off with the 619!

He keeps that energy up for his title match with Nunzio, and they really put on a show. Rey sets up for the West Coast Pop, but Tajiri hops the barricade and grabs his leg, causing ihm to wipe out. The ref calls for the bell, but that doesn't stop Tajiri from grabbing a chair from ringside, who then uses it to beat the bloody hell out of Rey. The challenger stands over the champion as we head to commercial.

In just two days, WWE Champion Matt Hardy Version 2.0 and Intercontinental Champion Jeff Hardy will defend their titles in a tripleheader ladder match, and tonight's tune-up opponents are Aaron Stevens and his new tag team partner Chavo Guerrero. It's a solid match that lets Stevens and Chavo look solid against the champions, but eventually Jeff hits a Swanton on Stevens for the win.

The Hardyz' Summerslam opponents, the World Tag Team Champions The Rock and John Cena are out next for a match against New Generation members BJ Whitmer and Trent Acid. The newcomers put up a decent fight, but this match was about making Rock and Cena strong heading into Summerslam. Christian York tries to interject on his partners' behalf, but accidentally winds up hitting Acid with a chair, allowing The Rock to hit Rock Bottom for the win.

Eddie Guerrero cuts a 100% quality promo on his match with Brock Lesnar. Brock has dominated everything in his path since his debut, but Eddie has become the biggest thorn Brock has ever had to deal with. He talks about the parable with the lion with the thorn in his paw, and about how the whole thing is a lie. And trust me, nobody lies like a Guerrero. The lion isn't grateful for the thorn being taken out of his paw. The lion just gets mad and devours everything around him. Well, Eddie's not going to let himself get devoured. He's going to stick, he's going to move, he's going to insert-cliche-here. But the thing is, cliches are cliches for a reason. And David does beat Goliath. And the colonies get their independence. And the Ewoks destroy the Empire. And this Sunday, Eddie Guerrero is going to once again prove that he is... wait, I can't remember which cliche I started it off with...

And now it's Brock's turn to hit the ring for his main event match against Brian Kendrick. Lesnar absolutely dominated Kendrick. A chop, a bodyslam, a brainbuster, a powerbomb, then the F-5. After the match, Eddie blasts Brock with a chair. Ugh. The underdog taking out the favorite with a chair as we fade to black? What a cliche!
