DECEMBER 10, 2004 - SMACKDOWN!

With just sixteen days to go until Starrcade, it's tag team-a-palooza, including a huge non-title main event has been signed pitting new World Tag Team Champions Los Guerreros versus Canadian Violence! Plus, the #1 contenders for both world titles Brock Lesnar and Tajiri team up to take on the Dudley Boyz and the quarterfinals of the Intercontinental Title Tournament kick off!

We kick things off with cruiserweight tag team action as New Generation members Christian York and BJ Whitmer take on Brian Kendrick and Funaki. It's a great match, but the show smells a little duddy. Crowd reaction brings this one down, so hopefully that's the reason for the low overall. Eventually, York gets Funaki to tap out to the Irish Cloverleaf to pick up the win.

Nope. It's a dud show. Up next, John Morrison teams with Joey Matthews (making his WWE debut) to form M'n'M to take on the other new team in the SmackDown! ranks, Acid Test! It's a pretty good match that M'n'M win with the Snapshot on Acid.

The #1 contender for the Cruiserweight Title, Matt Hardy Version 2.0 is in the ring as we come back from commercial, and he's got a microphone. He talks about his Starrcade match against Paul London, then talks about how - as a member of the Elite - he is now officially better than anyone in the Cruiserweight division. He says he'll prove it as he takes on ANYONE tonight.

The challenge is answered by a debuting Derrick King. The bell sounds and King surprises Matt with a standing leg lariat. Matt fights back and hits his trademark legdrop on King, then a tiger suplex to set up the Twist of Fate. Matt picks up the win, but Derrick King may be somebody to keep your eye on. After the match, London hits the ring, slams Hardy, then hits the London Calling before posing over him with the title.

Next week, The Hurricane will face John Layfield and Nova will take on Christian in the quarterfinals of the Intercontinental Title tournament, but tonight, it's a tag-team preview as SmackDown!'s superheroes take on the heels. Eventually, Layfield gets some momentum going into next week's match when he puts Hurricane away with the Clothesline From Hell! After the match as Layfield and Christian are walking off, John Cena blindsides Christian with a chairshot, furthering their feud.

Backstage, Rey Mysterio is watching footage of last week's run-in with Chris Benoit after Benoit interrupted Mickie James' promo. There's a knock at the door and Mickie enters. She thanks Rey for helping her last week. She knows that she can handle herself, but she's not going to lie - Benoit scares her. So she's really appreciative that Rey stood up to hiim for her like that. Rey shrugs it off, just doing what he felt was right, but Mickie gives him a thank-you kiss anyway. Mickie walks off and Rey looks thoroughly confused. My guess is his wife probably does, too.

The first spot in the Intercontinental Title Tournament semifinals will be decided next as John Cena takes on Carlito! Cena looks about ready to put Carlito away with the F-U, but as he's going for the pin, Christian comes out of the crowd and grabs Cena's leg, dragging him to the floor. The ref calls for the DQ as Christian slams Cena into the ringpost. Cena manages to overcome the odds (!!!) and fights off both Carlito and Christian to stand tall.

Cena's opponent in two weeks will be the winner of our next contest, the renewal of an old rivalry between Rico and "Nature Boy" Dave Batista. Rico puts up a great fight, but eventually he again falls victim to a sneak attack by Chris Kanyon, who lays him out allowing Batista to pick up the cheap win and advance to the semis. Kanyon again hits I'm Betta Than You after the match is over.

As the beating continues, Billy Gunn comes racing down the aisle, and things do not look good for Rico! But Gunn gets into Kanyon's face and Kanyon is not happy about it. Kanyon walks off and stares Gunn down as Gunn checks on Rico.

Time for our double tag-team main event, starting with the Dudleyz against Brock Lesnar and Tajiri. Good back-and-forth match that Lesnar eventually wins with an F5 on Bubba Ray. After the match, Rhyno and The Rock hit the ring and lay out Tajiri with a spike powerbomb before putting Lesnar through the announce table, and the champions have all the momentum!

And now for a main event that lives up to the hype as Los Guerreros take on Canadian Violence in a non-title match. Everybody gets in some big spots, and Eddie Guerrero gets the pin on Chris Jericho after Chavo hits him with a big brainbuster. After the match, Rey Mysterio hits the ring and takes Benoit out with a steel chair. Is this still about the United States Title, or has this become something deeper? Hopefully we'll get some answers next week!
