Smackdown opens up with Jeff Hardy cutting a promo stating that he would win
on Sunday and as for his opponent for tonight was Chris Jericho. Hardy
says that while Jericho is looking for a partner for Sunday that he should focus
on Hardy tonight, which leads us to:
Jeff Hardy beating Chris Jericho with a Swanton Bomb in a really fun match.
There was a backstage segment after the match with Melina and Michelle McCool
but I was not able to catch it since my view of the tron was blocked.
Next match saw The Great Khali beating Mike Knox. Halfway through the
match Kane comes out and stands on the stage. After the match Kane walked
down the aisle got on the apron put one foot over the rope and then decided to
walk away from the ring (I sure hope that this is better than their Wrestlemania
23 match).
Dolph Ziggler, accompanied to the ring by Maria, takes the mic and says that
he's not much for long introductions but after Sunday we will be saying, "Dolph
Ziggler Intercontinental Champion". This leads to:
Dolph Ziggler beating Finlay by count out when they were both outside the ring
and Dolph hit his jumping side Russian leg sweep on the floor and got back in
before the count of 10.
CM Punk comes to the ring for a promo stating that he was offering the WWE
universe a challenge and that challenge was to give up all the vices and to live
a straight edge life style like he does. This brings Jeff Hardy out.
Hardy says that people make mistakes but look at what your doing. Punk
then stops Hardy and says that he's going to do the one thing Jeff shoulda done
years ago and that's just say no. Punk then said he was going to walk out
of the ring, away from the fight, and just say no. Hardy waited until Punk left
and said that he (Punk) says that I'm the crazy one.
Backstage segment with Khali and Jericho in which Ranjin Singh said that the
Great Khali says that he would be honored to be one half of the unified tag
champs but not with Jericho.
Eve accompanied by Cryme Time vs. Natalya accompanied by The Hart Dynasty.
Eve wins with a moonsault.
R-Truth beats Charlie Haas. During the match after Truth hit Haas with a
clothesline in the corner. Truth did one of his flips and it looked like he may
have landed wrong on his leg as he couldn't get up and when he did he was
limping but he continued the match and won so I don't if its serious or not.
J.R. and Todd Grisham run down the PPV on Sunday.
Main event of Smackdown saw Rey Mysterio vs C.M. Punk in another fun match.
Dolph Ziggler comes down during the mid way point to observe then as Rey was
attempting a 619. Ziggler got on the apron and Rey knocked him off. Rey went for
a spring board cross body Punk caught him in the GTS set up. Rey battled out of
it set Punk up for the 619 hits it hits a splash and as the ref got to 2,
Ziggler came in and attacked Rey, causing the DQ. Rey bounced back and set
Ziggler up for the 619. As Rey was coming across, Punk runs into Mysterio
blocking the 619 from being done. Ziggler gets up and hits his finisher on
Mysterio as Punk is walking up the aisle. Ziggler picks up Rey and hits it
again as Punk got to the top of the stage Hardy runs out to help Rey and in
doing so bumps Punk outta the way. Hardy chases off Ziggler, but Punk
heads back to the ring and hits Hardy with the GTS.
