GAME ON FOR SMACKDOWN

Less than 24 hours after WrestleMania, Triple H was drafted to Smackdown in a suprise draft on RAW, along with his newly won WWE Championship. What will be in store for Triple H, or better yet Smackdown?

Also on Smackdown will be the other drafted stars Shawn Michaels, Chris Jericho, Randy Orton, and Umaga. Will Umaga get revenge on Big Show what he did on RAW?

Tune into Smackdown to find out!

[HurriKick Yo' Ass]

Big Show / Umaga is interesting. HBK, HHH and Orton on Smackdown = awesomeness. I'd love to see an Orton/Kennedy fued (if Kennedy's on Smackdown). That and either HHH or HBK vs. Undertaker! haha. Good show so far.

[CM L-edge-nd]

Smackdown opened with Thedore Long in the ring announcing that with the recent departure of Edge from Smackdown to Raw, Vickie Guerrero has resigned as the General Manager of Smackdown thus making himself the General Manager once again. He says it's great to be back and that he would like to bring out the WWE Champion, Triple H! Triple H comes out and takls about how he is going to take Smackdown and make them into the A show just like he did with Raw...He is interrupted by Randy Orton who says he wants his WWE Championship Re-Match but Theodore Long says when Orton signed his Smackdown contract, he was not issued a re-match thus if he wants his match, he will have to earn it tonight in a match against Chris Jericho, Shawn Michaels , and Big Show!

Tag Team Match
Ryder and Hawkins vs. The Highlanders

The match started off in the favor of The Highlanders as Rory was keeping Ryder down. Rory went to the top rope but was crotched by Ryder and then Hawkins tagged in and nailed Rory with a top rope hurricanrana. Hawkins and Ryder began double teaming Rory but he would make a tag to Robbie who would get nailed with a superkick upon his entrance into the ring. Robbie fought back and went for a clothesline that was ducked by Hawkins and then ref took the hit. Ryder jumped in the ring and then nailed Rory off the apron which led to Hawkins and Ryder nailing a Spike Piledriver on Robbie and picking up the win.

Dykstra and Morrison are shown watching the match with interest

Gregory Helms is backstage talking to the camera saying that it’s time for Smackdown to take notice of the biggest star on the show. He says he will stop at nothing to become the biggest superstar Smackdown has ever seen. Theodore Long walks up and says he will help him on his journey by giving him a match tonight against KANE!

United States Championship
MVP defends vs. Kofi Kingston

Kofi started off with a flurry of moves that leveled MVP. Kofi nailed a huge dropkick that almost got him the win. MVP fought back and poked Kofi in the eyes and then nailed him with a snap suplex. MVP went for the Player’s Boot in the corner but Kofi evaded it and MVP got hung up in the ropes. Kofi nailed his signature spin kick and almost had the three until Mark Henry came to ringside and pulled the referee out of the ring. Henry flattened the referee with a punch and then got in the ring where he was met with kicks from Kofi that had no effect on the big man. MVP came up from behind and blasted Kofi with the US Title and then Henry grabbed him and nailed him with a World’s Strongest Slam. MVP and Mark Hnery stood over Kofi’s body and MVP posed with the US Title.

Chuck Palumbo vs. Colin Delaney

Palumbo destroyed Delaney the entire match and finished him with the Full Throttle.

Palumbo took a microphone and said he is tired of being overlooked. He says he will make his impact soon and smack down will not be the same.

Non-Title Match
John Morrison and Kenny Dykstra vs. Deuce and Domino

Both teams got a fair share of offense in but Dykstra would get the upper hand after a spinning heel kick on Domino. Morrison came in off the tag and went for his spinning neck breaker but Deuce illegally entered the ring and kicked Morrison in the face. Domino would go for the pin but Dykstra broke it up. Dykstra would get the tag in and then he and Morrison nailed a double super kick for the win.

Randy Orton is shown walking to the ring for the main event

Main Event
Fatal Fourway Match
Randy Orton vs. Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Jericho vs. Big Show

Big Show would leave the match after the start when Umaga attacked him and they battled away from ringside turning the match into a triple threat. Chris Jericho would get nailed with a sweet chin music early on in the match. Orton and Michaels fought back and forth until Orton almost nailed an RKO but Shawn shoved him off and then nailed a sweet chin music but Jericho came back in out of no where and pushed Shawn out of the ring and then nailed a lionsault on Orton for the win.

Jericho celebrated as everyone remained shocked, not expecting him to win. Triple H came out on the stage and Jericho signaled that he would be the champion come Backlash.

[HurriKick Yo' Ass]

Nice show. Loving that that Ryder and Hawkins won, i'm a fan of theirs. Gregory Helms owns, him vs. Kane should be good (although Kane will probably own his ass). MVP/Kingston was good, liked the finish. A potential fued? Nice squash match, i'm a fan of Palumbo. Glad Mizorrison won. Jericho won! woo, fantasmic main event.

Your show has an early-2004 Smackdown feel, which is great. Solid show.

[CM L-edge-nd]

The General Manager of Raw, William Regal was in the ring to kick off Raw. He announced that Edge needs an opponent for Backlash and seeing as how he is a fair GM and wants to give everyone there shot, he is making the main event for Backlash a SIX PACK CHALLENGE! It will be Edge defending the World Championship against The Undertaker, Batista, John Cena, JBL, and the final man will be decided it the main event as CM Punk, Matt Hardy, and Mr. Kennedy will battle in a triple threat match!

Women's Championship
Beth Phoenix vs. Maria

Beth dominates the match, finishing it with a Fisherman Buster.

Edge is backstage saying that it is unfair that he has to face five men at Backlash. He says he was never treated this way on Smackdown because he was respected over there. Regal says if Edge wants to go back to Smackdown, he is free to go. As long as he vacates the World Title and can talk Theodore Long into making a fair trade of one superstar. Edge says screw him and leaves.

Intercontinental Championship
Jeff Hardy vs. Elijah Burke vs. Paul Burchill

All three men put up an amazing effort to win the match. Jeff would nail a swanton early on Burke but he would only get a two count. Burchill nailed a C4 on Hardy but Burke broke up the pin attempt. The finish came when Jeff Hardy nailed a twis tof fate on Burchill and then Burke came in as Hardy attempted the cover and kicked Hardy in the face, stealing the pinfall and becoming the new Intercontinental Champion!

A very fast paced match that saw many near falls. Holly would go for a alabama slam but it would be countered into a pin by London for the suprise win. Holly offered a handshake to London but ended up slapping him instead and leaving, taking Rhodes with him.

Mr. Kennedy was interviewed about the main event. He said the same thing as Matt Hardy.

Just before the main event, a video package aired showing what looked to be a man in a dark alley. The video ended with the words "He's coming back...12 Weeks"

Main Event
CM Punk vs. Mr. Kennedy vs. Matt Hardy

All three men put up one hell of an effort. Hardy had a close win following a top rope moonsault. Kennedy would get a close win following the mic check on Punk. Hardy would go for a twist of fate on Kennedy who shoved him off towards Punk who would backdrop Hardy over the ropes. Kennedy went for a running face kick but Punk caught him and laid him out with the go to sleep for the win. Punk's arm was raised in victory but he jerked away from the referee and grabbed a microphone. Punk took the mic...

"You know...Ever since I came here to the WWE, I haven't got a damn thing. Now I know you may say "But Punk, you were ECW Champion". Yeah, that's "great" but what was I really? It was like a title that didn't mean a damn, like it always has. And now I get my shot at a real World Title and I'm not letting anything stand in my way. Not the fans*boos*, not the wrestlers, not a damn person at all. I will be the next World Champion and whether you like it or not I will be the best champion ever. And you know why that is? Because I'm straight edge and because like it or not, I am better than everyone in this company, whether they want to admit it or not."

Punk drops the microphone and gets booed by the fans as Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler wonder why he is acting so bitter

[HurriKick Yo' Ass]

Great show, nice matches. Loved the main event especially, glad you have heel Punk. Sucks that Burke won the IC title, I was pulling for Burchill or Hardy. Burke is still pretty good though. Backlash looks fantastic.

[CM L-edge-nd]

Can I get a lock on this? I'm starting something new using WWE.
