JANUARY 21, 2005 - SMACKDOWN!

It's a big night of action on SmackDown! tonight as the participants in the Superbrawl main event square off in a pair of singles matches. Last week, Christian put on a great match with the World Champion Rhyno. Tonight, he faces off against WWE Champion The Rock! Meanwhile, Rhyno takes on Chris Jericho! Plus, several huge tag matches including a fatal fourway for the World Tag Team Titles!

We open things off with cruiserweight action as Funaki takes on Carlito. Exciting back-and-forth action between two men who seem unfortunately mired in the cruiserweight midcard. As the match draws to a close, Funaki hits a big flying reverse elbow for two. He plays to the crowd and attempts a big legdrop, but Carlito moves and clamps on his inverted figure-four for the submission win.

Two weeks ago, Ron Simmons made a shocking return, only to come up short against his former partner John Layfield. Tonight, Layfield goes one-on-one against John Morrison and Simmons is the guest referee! Morrison uses his speed while Layfield counters with power. Eventually, Layfield takes control with some brawling, then rolls Morrison up and Simmons fast-counts him! After the match, Morrison confronts Simmons, only to eat a big forearm and Simmons' trademark running tackle. The APA has reunited!

After the break, Dave Batista is in the ring awaiting his next match when Rico Constantino appears on the TitanTron. Teddy Long surprised Rico when he brought back his old rival Batista as the crown jewel of his Metro Connection, but Rico's gonna bring this to an end at Superbrawl. He issues a challenge, and the new Nature Boy readily accepts!

Bats' opponent tonight is Nova. Nova puts on an admirable show, but Batista is so fired up after the confrontation with Rico that he controls most of the contest, picking up the win with the Batista Bomb.

Eddie Guerrero is backstage warming up for his big fatal fourway World Tag Team Title match, when he's again blindsided by the sadistic Tajiri! Tajiri pummels Eddie with a chair before walking off, leaving his rival laying.

Back from break, Jim Cornette and Dan Wilson announce that in a rare moment of fairness, WWE Chairman Eric Bischoff has declared that the belts will not be on the line as Los Guerreros take on the Dudley Boyz, Gunnstantino, and the team of Avery Thompson and Mark Henry. However, if any team but Eddie and Chavo wins the match, that team earns a shot at the gold next week! The heels work over Chavo early until Chavo manages to tag in Bubba Ray Dudley, and the Dudley Boyz work over Henry. Rico tags into the match and blasts Henry with a sick running dropkick in the corner for the pin, eliminating Henry and Thompson. Eddie Guerrero comes into the match for the first time, and he's clearly hurting from the attack by Tajiri. He's not in for long, but between him Chavo, and Bubba, they manage to overwhelm Rico, and Chavo Guerrero picks up the pin with a back heel kick off the second rope. Now it's down to Los Guerreros and the Dudley Boyz! This alone was worth the price of admission, so it's a good thing they'll get a straight-up match next week, because Bubba hits Chavo with the Bubba Cutter for the win!

Masked heroes Rey Mysterio and The Hurricane take on Brock Lesnar and Matt Hardy Version 2.0 in tag action next, just four days after Matt lost his spot in the Elite! Really good contest that showcases all four men's skills, but the ending is marred by the interference of Randy Orton, who again leaves Hurricane laying with an RKO! Orton's mission to become Elite continues at the Hurricane's expense! Lesnar picks up the pieces and covers him for the win.

Rhyno continues to prove that he is perhaps the most underrated wrestler in the industry, despite being the World Champion, and tonight's match with Chris Jericho is further proof. The crowd just adores everything these two do, and they almost blow the roof off the place as Rhyno drops down into a crouch to set up the Gore! Out of nowhere, though, Chris Benoit's hand reaches into the ring and drags the champion out. On RAW, Chris Benoit said that he was very close to cashing in his Money In The Bank title shot, and he just proved how dangerous he can be! Canadian Violence begin to go to work on Rhyno, but Intercontinental Champion John Cena hits the ring to make the save.

Cena stands tall with the IC belt glaring at Benoit, not realizing that Jericho has slid back into the ring. He grabs the belt and lays Cena out with it! Jericho poses with the Intercontinental Title over Cena's prone body!

The second half of our huge double main event is next as The Rock takes on Christian! Christian still holds the right to challenge either Rock or Rhyno at WrestleMania and still refuses to make that announcement. But, just like his epic encounter with Rhyno last week, Christian has proven he belongs in the main event against either one of them. The ending of this match is ruined the same way as the last, though, as Benoit once again inserts himself in the match by tripping The Rock. The ref calls for the bell, and now it's Benoit and Christian's turn to work over the champ. Rhyno hits the ring and helps drive off the heels.

The final image of the show, though, is of Rhyno going face-to-face with Christian in the middle of the ring. Who would have thought a year ago that this might wind up being the main event of WrestleMania 21?!?
