OCTOBER 15, 2004 - SMACKDOWN!

SmackDown! kicks off with a #1 contender match for the World Tag Team Titles. Next week, the Hardy Boyz will defend the gold against the winners of this match as the Dudley Boyz take on the Metro Connection! Everybody gets a shot at everybody else at some point during the contest, and it's a good one. In the end, D-Von pins Billy Gunn after the 3-D to earn the title shot next week!

Backstage, we see Shane McMahon walking down the hall and the crowd erupts. Last week, Shane was on the phone with a mystery man and he told him he'd "see him tonight" insinuating it was someone who would help him take his family company back from Eric Bischoff. He arrives at a door, takes a deep breath and knocks. The door opens and out steps... Paul Heyman!!! The two shake hands and walk off together, talking about plans for the future. A babyface turn for Paul Heyman? Aligning with Shane McMahon against Eric Bischoff? This is gonna be good...

The Cruiserweight Title is on the line next as Tajiri takes on Paul London. And these two push the limits with an incredible match that serves to put over both men and the title itself. London almost gets the belt after a springboard dropkick, Tajiri almost retains with a superkick, then another after a big kick to the face. London channels his mentor Shawn Michaels with a superkick that almost gets him the win, but eventually he falls to the Kick of Death as Tajiri retains.

The ECW theme song hits and Paul Heyman comes to the ring. He cuts a brief promo about Eric Bischoff and what he did to ECW, but that mostly he's here to introduce a Survivor Series team. Bischoff has handpicked Benoit and Jericho, two men that Heyman brought to the national spotlight in ECW, to be his chosen ones. Well, if Bischoff wants those guys to be the guys running his first Survivor Series team, he's got a quintet of friends that would love to remind them where they came from. "This Is Extreme" by Harry Slash & The Slashtones hits again, and the crowd erupts as Rhyno leads Rob Van Dam, Tommy Dreamer, and the Dudley Boyz to the ring. Heyman introduces the ECW Originals and says that their victory over the Jerichoholics is just the beginning of Heyman and Shane taking back the company from the clutches of the man Heyman hates more than anyone on the planet, and they're going to do it the way we used to do it. It's going to be extreme!

World Champion Chris Jericho is out after the commercial, Heyman's words obviously still ringing in his ears, as he prepares to take on John Cena in a huge singles contest. It's exciting to watch as these two put on a show. Eventually, Jericho blasts Cena with a DDT that puts both men out of commission. While the ref checks on Jericho, who is selling it way too hard, Tajiri hits the ring (and Cena) with a steel chair. Jericho makes a miraculous recovery and clamps on the Walls of Jericho. After the match, Tajiri continues the assault with the chair, and Cena is left a bloody mess.

Backstage, Chris Benoit cuts a promo on Rob Van Dam. He hypes the Survivor Series match, as well as their ongoing feud over the United States Title. He talks about his match next against Rico for the gold and says that when he retains, RVD is going to find out - once and for all - why they call him the Crippler.

That match is next, and it's a bit of a disappointment as Benoit continues to phone it in (although his morale is improving thanks to the formation of the Elite). Rico looks good throughout, getting a couple of nearfalls, but eventually he gets caught with a short powerbomb that Benoit quickly turns into the Crippler Crossface for the submission victory.

Eddie Guerrero is backstage, and it's his turn for promo duty. He talks about his running feud with Christian. He says that the plan is succeeding. The two were supposed to put each other over into the upper echelon of WWE, and here they are, charter members of the Elite. Looks like it worked. Problem is, along the way, it got personal. And the Guerreros... we're warriors. When it gets personal, we get better. And when we get better, our opponents get hurt. So, for Christian's sake, he'd better hope that they don't wind up on opposing sides at Survivor Series, because their next PPV encounter might be their last!

Eddie and Christian are on opposite sides of a tag match next as Eddie teams with his best friend Rey Mysterio while Christian teams with the monstrous Brock Lesnar! Both feuds get their chance to shine, and eventually it comes down to Rey and Lesnar in the ring. Brock has an arm submission locked in when Rey blasts him with an elbow, then a running senton to set up the West Coast Pop for the win! After the match, all four men brawl up the ramp and to the back.

The Rocks' theme hits the speakers, and the WWE Champion makes his way to the ring. "Finally! The belt has come back to the Great One!" The crowd erupts as he launches into a promo about Matt Hardy Version 2.0 and their ongoing feud over the WWE Title. Rock talks about winning the gold back at No Mercy five days ago and how he knows that it's not over. He's been doing this long enough to know that one big win is never enough to silence a tough challenger, and Matt's as tough as the champ has had in quite a while. But these past couple of weeks have been proof of what everyone has known all along. Matt's very talented. He's fantastic in the ring, but he's... well, he's just not as good as his brother. Jeff's in the Elite, and Matt's on the outside looking in. Well, The Rock takes on Jeff Hardy next, and Matt's going to watch as Rock not only beats his brother, but beats his superior. It's time for Matt to step up his game or get to steppin' if he smells what The Rock is cookin'!

And the match is a good one, but of course Rock's words hit home for Matt. Rock manages to put Jeff away with the Rock Bottom, but Matt assaults him with a chair after the match, standing tall over the champion as the show goes off the air.
