November 20, 2003 - SmackDown!

With Survivor Series in the books, we begin to trek to Armageddon, six weeks away on pay-per-view. Tonight, a #1 contender will be determined for Brock Lesnar's WWE Title, Rhyno gets a shot at the United States Title (with Paul Heyman as the referee), two slots in January's Royal Rumble match will be filled, and General Manager Stephanie McMahon has promised a huge announcement!

We open up with two of the most physical tag teams in WWE, the Backstage Bullies and the FBI. The FBI cut the ring off and pound Holly to begin, but Holly hits a clothesline and makes a hot tag. Bradshaw pounds on Stamboli until he can tag in Palumbo, who gets in some offense, until Bradshaw hits a bulldog to set up for Initiation Rites and a Bullies victory.

Two men who put on impressive showing at Survivor Series are up next as Edge looks for revenge against the man who eliminated him, Sean O'Haire. Good back-and-forth match with lots of near falls. O'Haire winds up hitting the Prophecy for the win, but after the match his long-time rival John Cena hits the ring and bloodies him with a chair shot!

The Cruiserweight division is on display next as the Cruiserweight Champion Billy Kidman teams with the former champion Tajiri to take on Jamie Noble and Ultimo Dragon. Lots of kicks thrown around in this match, and both teams got a hot tag. In the end, though, Tajiri takes out Noble with the Kick of Death.

It's now time for Stephanie McMahon's big announcement. She hits the ring and says that while we have a match tonight to determine a #1 contender for Armageddon, we need one for the first pay-per-view of 2004 as well. Challengers at the Royal Rumble have frequently walked out of the event with championship gold, and she wants to give the opportunity to someone who has not had many such opportunities. So tonight she is announcing a best-of-seven series for a shot at Brock Lesnar or whoever is the champion going into the Royal Rumble. Chris Benoit and Rey Mysterio will face off in a series of one-on-one encounters until one of them is able to amass four victories over the other!

The American Badass Undertaker has been on a downward slide lately, but hopes to bounce back in a major way by booking himself into a handicap match against Billy Kidman and Chris Kanyon. Undertaker pounds on Kanyon early, but succumbs to a double team. The duo double-teams UT for most of the match until Gunn gets tripped up and Kanyon misses an elbow drop, allowing the Deadman to hit Gunn with the Last Ride for the win.

The best-of-seven series between Benoit and Mysterio starts next, with Mysterio using his feet and his high-flying style to take an early advantage. Benoit fights back with a big t-bone suplex, but Rey takes control once more. A big belly-to-belly suplex by Benoit turns things back in his favor, but gets DDTed and falls victim to the West Coast Pop and Mysterio goes up 1-0! After the match, Rey offers a hand to Benoit, and they shake, demonstrating great sportsmanship.

The first two spots in January's Royal Rumble match are on the line in our next encounter, pitting two of SmackDown!'s top tag teams against each other. Both members of the winning team will advance. This wound up being an absolute squash as the red-hot World's Greatest Tag Team wiped the floor with the Basham Brothers, earning Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin passes into the Rumble!

Just moments before finding out who is going to be the #1 contender for his title at Armageddon, Brock Lesnar faces Eddie Guerrero in a non-title match. Brock leads off with a back suplex, but Eddie punches him in the face and takes control with strikes and a Whippersnapper out of the corner. Brock fights back with a spinning neckbreaker, a full nelson, and a lifting DDT, but Eddie backdrops out of a piledriver and hits a super kick. In the end, though, Lesnar was just too big and strong, and wins it with the F5.

Four nights ago, John Cena and Kurt Angle survived their preliminary Survivor Series match before both were eliminated by the WWE Champion in the main event. The winner of tonight's Cena/Angle match will get a chance to avenge that loss when they challenge for the gold at Armageddon. Good back-and-forth match with lots of near-falls. The crowd was way into this one as the two major babyfaces went at it. Angle scores with a big spear to set up the Angle Lock for the submission victory. Afterwards, they both demonstrate great sportsmanship by shaking hands.

Stephanie McMahon is backstage, and she makes it official. At Armageddon, Brock Lesnar will once again defend the WWE Title against Kurt Angle!

At Survivor Series, Paul Heyman announced that Rhyno would finally get a shot at one of the Dangerous Alliance's titles - Big Show's United States Title - but under his rules. And his rules are Heyman himself will be the referee! Shockingly, Show gets a blindingly fast count when he rolls Rhyno up for the victory. Heyman's "victory" is short-lived, though, as he is GOOOOOOOOOOOORED for his trouble as the show goes off the air!

What does Rhyno's assault on Paul Heyman mean going into next week's SmackDown!? We already know that Heyman's client Billy Kidman will defend his Cruiserweight Title against the Japanese Buzzsaw Tajiri. John Cena and Kurt Angle will both be participating in Royal Rumble qualifying matches. Rey Mysterio will hope to go up 2-0 against Chris Benoit, while the Rabid Wolverine will try to draw even. Brock Lesnar will go one-on-one with his former college teammate Shelton Benjamin in a non-title match. Plus, the long-running Undertaker/Big Show feud will have its next chapter as the two go one-on-one. Next week's SmackDown! - the last WWE show in November - promises to be one to remember!
