The Smackdown theme song is played and Smackdown comes on the air, pyro shoots off from the ring and

entrance ramp, the camera pans around the crowd before coming to rest at the announce table where we join Michael Cole and Tazz.

[Michael Cole] - Welcome to Smackdown, Michael Cole and Tazz here. Tonight we have tons of great action for you as we count down the days to Wrestlemania which will take place on the 27th of March.

[Tazz] - They know when it is Cole; everyone all around the world knows when Wrestlemania is. Just tell the people the news about the WWE Title match.

[Michael Cole] - Yes, huge news concerning the happenings at Wrestlemania from the Raw side of things. Triple H suffered an injury this week on Raw and it is unknown if he will be able to challenge Mick Foley for the W.W.E title.

[Tazz] - That’s enough of advertising Raw now Cole. Let’s talk more about Smackdown and what is going down here tonight.

[Michael Cole] - Tonight Christian will once again defend the United States title against a yet to be named opponent. It appears Shane is keeping the champion sweating and hoping to crack him before the title defence.

[Tazz] - Christian deserves it Cole. Last week he threatened to leave the company with the title but he still has several more dates to work before he can legally do so. Shane McMahon will do anything and everything to get the title away from Christian so long as he doesn’t end up like his old man.

[Michael Cole] - In other action tonight, Sean O’Haire will attempt to cement a title shot at Wrestlemania with 2 out of 3 wins, last week he overcame The Undertaker and tonight he must overcome Rey Mysterio.

[Tazz] - Batista has laid out some good tests for O’Haire. First he has to overcome size and power, now he must take on speed and agility, if Rey succeeds in defeating Sean O’Haire, you have to wonder what the last challenge will be.

[Michael Cole] - It is very interesting Tazz. In other action tonight Chris Benoit will team with William Regal to face the team of Kid Romeo and Randy Orton. A lot of bad blood in that match which I doubt will be settled here tonight. We also have a top main event as Batista and The Undertaker will do battle in a non-title match.

[Tazz] - That’s going to be hot. In just a few moments time though Cole we will see Sonny Siaki against Booker T.

‘Clueless?’

The titantron comes to life and we find ourselves backstage where Sharmell and Booker T are walking through the halls of the arena. Theodore Long then appears and approaches them.

[Theodore Long] - Booker T, last week you defeated one half of the WWE Tag Team champions, Ron Killings but would you have done so if it hadn’t been for the interference from The Undertaker?

[booker T] - What the hell are you talking about dawg? What did The Undertaker have to do with my match against Ron Killings? Last week I defeated Ron Killings in a fair one on one match and tonight I will do the exact same and defeat his partner Sonny Siaki, now can you dig that sucka!

Booker T & Sharmell walk off as the scene fades to black.

Smackdown

With just a couple of weeks until Wrestlemania the superstars on Smackdown are preparing themselves for one hell of a show. Currently no matches have been booked on the Smackdown side of things but that could all change tonight.

Booker T successfully defeated Ron Killings with help from The Undertaker last week who then laid out Sonny Siaki afterwards. This week Booker T will go one on one with Sonny Siaki.

The Undertaker is set to main event the night though as he does battle with The World Heavyweight Champion, Batista. The title will not be on the line but this will be a battle between 2 bulls here on Smackdown.

Last week Christian was told that until he loses the title he will defend it every week. Last week, Christian retained the title after getting disqualified in a match against Diamond Dallas Page. Shane McMahon has been keeping the next challenger a secret in order to make Christian sweat is out. Who is it going to be?

On Velocity Chris Benoit defeated Test by DQ thanks to an attack by Team Charisma and then by Randy Orton. Chris Benoit will team with William Regal, a man who has had problems with Kid Romeo for the past month or so. It will be Chris Benoit and William Regal taking on Randy Orton and Kid Romeo in tag team action.

And can Sean O’Haire earn himself a title shot here tonight? Last week, Batista told Sean O’Haire to win 2 out of 3 matches and he will get a title shot come Wrestlemania. After a win over The Undertaker last week, Sean O’Haire will attempt to guarantee himself a title match at Wrestlemania 22 but who is his opponent?

Hey, Thanks for the comments, nice to see my work is enjoyed.

I added the contract signing in because i am hoping to get Christian some extra heat aswell as build a solid storyline in which Shane attempts to get the title away from Christian before his time in W.W.E is up being that he only has 10 dates left to work. I have outlined that Shane doesn't want to end up in his father shoes and strip Christian of the title or screw him over in any way. The plot thickens so stay tuned with the storyline.

Also i did mention TNA in the segment purely because i want it to seem like Christian doesn't care about W.W.E and is only focused on himself, having no tied down contract. I know it might seem far fetched but i think i am going about it the correct way.

To anyone else who wants to contribute their thoughts, they are much appreciated.

Velocity

This week Velocity returns with what looks to be its best card yet and it should prove to be the best Velocity show ever with so much taking place.

In tag team action it will be the new tag team of Billy Kidman and Matt Hardy taking on Juventud Guerrera and Psychosis. There is expected to be lots of high paced high flying action here and it will be a must see match to be sure.

Chavo Guerrero and Super Crazy will be in action as they compete in singles action. Many are saying this could be the greatest match in Velocity history but will it go down without interference or will the Mexicools play a part in this match?

Hugh Morrus has not been able to pick up a victory in 3 matches and this week he faces the man who was able to get the finishing shot in on him last week and let partner Chuck Palumbo pick up victory in Johnny The Bull.

In another tag team match the new tag team of Rhyno and Bradshaw take on Chris Kanyon and Chuck Palumbo. This will be one hell of a brawl in this match and will be worth the watching.

Finally the main event is set for Chris Benoit and Test in singles action. Test is looking to break out at a star and follow Kid Romeo and Christian to gold but he will have to get past the Crippler first.

The Smackdown theme song is played and Smackdown comes on the air, pyro shoots off from the ring and entrance ramp, the camera pans around the crowd before coming to rest at the announce table where we join Michael Cole and Tazz.

[Michael Cole] - Welcome to Smackdown, your hosts Michael Cole and Tazz here as we return from No Way Out which was a huge success.

[Tazz] - Your damn right Cole and we have not 1, not 2 but 3 new champions. Kid Romeo walked out the very first Red Bull champion, Sonny Siaki and Ron Killings became WWE Tag Team champions and Christian defeated Buff Bagwell and Stevie Richards to claim the United States title.

[Michael Cole] - Siaki, Killings and Romeo winning their first WWE titles and Christian winning the United States title for the first time really shows that things are changing here on Smackdown. One thing that didn’t change though was the World Heavyweight Title; it is still firmly around the waist of Batista.

[Tazz] - Booker T was eliminated by Sean O’Haire about 10 seconds before Batista eliminated Sean O’Haire but I have to believe it isn’t over as far as Sean O’Haire is concerned.

[Michael Cole] - Maybe so Tazz. Tonight we are full of action with Orton taking on Benoit, Sean O’Haire against The Undertaker and the team of Buff Bagwell & William Regal facing Kid Romeo and Test. All that plus more but first Booker T and Ron Killings will do battle in singles competition.

‘New WWE Tag Team Champions’

Music begins to play and out from the back appears the new WWE Tag Team champions, Ron Killings and Sonny Siaki. They won the titles at No Way Out in a 4 corners tag team match. They are getting some decent crowd pops as they head down to the ring. Ron Killings reaches for a microphone.

[Ron Killings] - Ladies and Gentlemen, your new WWE Tag Team champions, Ron “The Truth” Killings and “The Ace In The Hole” Sonny Siaki are in the house! Just a few days ago at No Way Out, we claimed our first titles here in the W.W.E and not only did we do that but we defeated 3 other teams to do that. We know that there is going to be a lot of competition for our titles but we can announce right now that we will take on anybody, any place, any time because we are going to be the best damn fighting champions there has ever been. I’d like to say right now that any superstar who comes our way, will end up just the same as MNM, Nunzio & Big Vito, Chris Kanyon and Diamond Dallas Page. They will find out exactly how good we are!

Booker T’s music hits and Ron Killings opponent t comes out onto the ramp with a microphone in hand. Sharmell is with him.

[booker T] - So let’s get this straight. You think that because you beat 3 other teams to win Tag Team titles that you’re some kind of superheroes? You think that you’re unbeatable? Well listen to be dawg, my name is Booker T and in my time I have held 30 championships and that includes 5 times that I held the WCW title. At No Way Out, I was beaten. Sean O’Haire got lucky and eliminated me but that doesn’t matter because I know I will make it back to the top but you guys, you aren’t even in league with the likes of Booker T and from here on out, Booker T is going to be unbeatable. Now can you dig it sucka?

Booker T begins to make his way down to the ring.

Smackdown Preview

No Way Out has been and gone and we find ourselves with 3 new champions, Kid Romeo captured his first WWE title and is the first ever Red Bull champion. Sonny Siaki and Ron Killings did the same in capturing their first titles in the WWE by winning the tag team titles. Finally Christian overcame Stevie Richards and Buff Bagwell to claim the United States title.

It should be noted that Wrestlemania 22 has been moved date and will take place on the 26th March 2006 where Raw and Smackdown will come together for their first joint event since Shane and Stephanie took control of their respective shows.

Smackdown this week is going to be full of promise as we see several top matches as well as a scheduled contract signing between Shane McMahon and Christian. With Christian having W.W.E gold, he is expected to sign exclusively for Smackdown.

Critics are saying that Batista is only World Champion because of his timing when caught Sean O’Haire off guard but that’s a bonus for the champion who will not be in action on Smackdown this week but is sure to make an appearance.

Kid Romeo, Christian and Test alliance will make its debut on Smackdown this week after their cheap and dirty tactics at No Way Out. Test and Kid Romeo are set to team up to take on the team of William Regal and Buff Bagwell. Sparks will surely fly in that match.

Other matches announced for Smackdown this week are Rey Mysterio against Randy Orton and Sean O’Haire takes on The Undertaker.

No Way Out Recap

No Way Out was a huge success for the Smackdown brand and totally crushed the efforts of Raw as far as ratings, attendance and viewing figures go. 2 Late matches added to the card, Al Snow versus Hugh Morrus and the team of Billy Kidman, Matt Hardy and The Undertaker versus Rhyno, Randy Orton and JBL where added after Velocity the day before the event and where not as good as they could have been with some build up.

The match for the title now known as the Red Bull championship was pretty good but not as good as hoped considering the amount of hype that was put towards it. The lack of overness could explain why some fans where not interested in this match. Kid Romeo came out on top with a cheap win over William Regal. Current thoughts are that Kid Romeo could be in for quite a push.

The WWE Tag Team title match was extremely disappointing considering the amount of great superstars that where in it, there was quite a bit of hype in this match but it only ended up being rather mediocre. Ron Killings and Sonny Siaki, the new champions may be considered the future of Smackdown.

The United States title tournament could not have gone much better. Buff Bagwell and Christian had a good ending to a good match and Stevie Richards got a good win over Chris Benoit with the continuation of the Randy Orton and Chris Benoit feud being included. Stevie Richards against Christian in the finals of the tournament was just as hot and the fact that both men took so much punishment shows their desire to make it to the top of the business.

Finally the main event, a 3 man elimination challenge for the World Title. Batista defending against Sean O’Haire and Booker T. Sean O’Haire and Booker T working as a team to begin before turning against one another was good due to both men’s desire to get to the top and do whatever it takes. The ending to the match was perfect and could lead the way to Wrestlemania for Smackdown.

All in all a very good pay per view with the coming together of Christian, Kid Romeo and Test as well as the conclusion of the title matches could push the way towards some very memorable and enjoyable storylines.

The Financial Times

It was made clear when Smackdown and Raw split that all profits a show earned would stay on that show. This included event revenue and merchandise sales. Smackdown brand owner Shane McMahon announced today that after all the accounts where done and checked over that Smackdown made a profit this month of more than 2 Million Dollars. It has been forecasted that March will see a further increase as more merchandise becomes available and Smackdown continues to dominate over Raw.

Stephanie McMahon and her team on Raw completed their own books today and announced that they made a profit as well of around 1.5 Million Dollars. This has to be a good thing although some wonder why Smackdown made more, especially with the amount of superstars that have been hired as of late.

The Red Bull Championship

Many have question as to the location of the name for Smackdown’s newest championship, a title which Kid Romeo captured at No Way Out. Apparently Shane McMahon made a deal with the company that makes and distributes the energy drink known as Red Bull. Shane would advertise the name on a championship belt and get some cash on the side for this stint.

The Cream Of The Crop

After some time under view, the W.W.E brands known as Raw and Smackdown can announce who their top 5 superstars of the month are. Raw is reporting that Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair, Mick Foley and Kurt Angle are their top draws at the moment. Where Smackdown has announced its top draws to be John Bradshaw Layfield, Batista, Randy Orton, The Undertaker and Sean O’Haire. Smackdown are extremely happy that Sean O’Haire has made such an impact in such a short time.

Return Of Mr Socko

Mr Socko has come out of retirement along with Mick Foley and on a recent edition of Raw; Mick Foley defeated John Cena for the WWE Heavyweight Title. The show pulled high ratings but there is question as to how smart this is with Mick Foley being under an open contract.

A video is played as an entrance to the No Way Out pay per view. After the video comes to an end, we find ourselves inside of the arena as pyro shoots off all around the arena. The camera pans around the 22,000 plus fans in attendance before falling on the announce table where Michael Cole and Tazz are seated.

[Michael Cole] - Ladies and Gentlemen, Michael Cole & Tazz welcoming you to No Way Out. It’s the Smackdown brand’s first pay per view under the rule of Shane McMahon and tonight’s set up is looking great.

[Tazz] - It certainly is Cole. Loads of top matches, tournaments and title matches, this will be a night to remember, I’m sure of it.

[Michael Cole] - You might just be right Tazz. Let’s run through the action we have tonight first. We will kick things off as Al Snow meets Bill Demott in a match to determine who the better Velocity announcer is. Bill Demott returned to the ring and Al Snow filled his place.

[Tazz] - Should be a pretty good match Cole. I think that our 6 man tag team match in which Randy Orton, Rhyno and JBL take on Matt Hardy, Billy Kidman and The Undertaker could be the best match of the night. Even with the other matches we have here tonight.

[Michael Cole] - It could be Tazz. We have the United States title tournament semi finals and finals here tonight. In the semi finals, Christian takes on Buff Bagwell and Chris Benoit goes toe to toe with Stevie Richards. The winner of those 2 matches will face each other for the United States title later tonight.

[Tazz] - What about this 6 man elimination match for the title which has yet to be named? Any info on what the title is called?

[Michael Cole] - Shane McMahon will announce that tonight before the match which will includes Juventud Guerrera, Psychosis, Chavo Guerrero, Rey Mysterio, Kid Romeo and William Regal.

[Tazz] - Then we have the main event, Batista defending The World Title against Sean O’Haire and Booker T in an elimination match. I can’t wait for that one. So lets get on with the matches.

Smackdown’s very first pay per view under the reign of Shane McMahon, No Way Out is coming to town and it is looking hot with several championship matches, tournament matches as well as some extra matches that have been added.

After Velocity went off the air on Saturday night it was announced that Randy Orton, Rhyno and JBL will face the team of Matt Hardy, Billy Kidman and The Undertaker in a 6 man tag team match. This comes after what happened on Smackdown and Velocity this week between the 6 men.

Also on WWE.com, Hugh Morrus challenged Al Snow to a match after hearing rumours that Al was saying Hugh Morrus was a poor announcer and that he is far more superior. It will be the current announcer for the former announcer in action come No Way Out.

The WWE Tag Team titles are set to be defended in a 4 corners tag team match, current champions MNM don’t even have to be involved in the finish to lose the titles. With so many good teams including Big Vito & Nunzio, DDP and Kanyon as well as Sonny Siaki and Ron Killings. A successful title defence could be impossible.

Also a yet to be named championship will be on the line between 6 superstars that have earned their spots in the match. Kid Romeo, Rey Mysterio, William Regal, Juventud Guerrera, Psychosis and Chavo Guerrero will face off in a 6 man elimination challenge. Expect the name of the title to be announced before the match.

The United States title tournament has seen some memorable happenings so far but we are down to the final 4 superstars. Buff Bagwell takes on Christian and Chris Benoit goes one on one with Stevie Richards. The winners of both matches will square off later in the night for the United States title. Critics are putting money on Christian and Chris Benoit in the finals.

The World Heavyweight championship is set to be defended in a 3 man elimination challenge. Batista defends against Booker T and Sean O’Haire. None of these guys particularly like each other but Batista will have a target on his chest as the champion. If Batista was to be eliminated first, we would be certain to have a new champion.

Velocity comes on the air and we join our hosts of the Saturday night show, Josh Matthews and Al Snow. The arena isn't packed but there seems to be quite a lot of fans in attendance.

[Josh Matthews] - Hello Smackdown fans, this is Velocity, I'm Josh Matthews alongside my broadcast partner, Al Snow. We are just one day away from No Way Out and we have some top action here tonight.

[Al Snow] - We certainly do Josh and I can’t wait to get started, lets run down the action and get on with the show.

[Josh Matthews] - We will start tonight as Mark Shade takes on … Test! Who is making his return here tonight and I can’t wait to see him in action. We will see the team of Hugh Morrus & Doug Basham against Chuck Palumbo and Johnny The Bull. Kid Kash takes on an un-announced opponent and to end the night we have Randy Orton taking on Billy Kidman. I can’t wait for that match.

[Al Snow] - Orton against Kidman, neither man on the card for No Way Out. I find that hard to swallow as both are great athletes. Anyway let’s get started.

WWE Velocity

Preview

This week's Raw show was the best event that has been held since Shane and Stephanie took control of their shows and it looked like a promising week for Raw as they delivered a 70.2% but Smackdown topped that with a 72.9% show and it is looking good for the Smackdown brand.

Smackdown saw William Regal earn himself a spot in the United States Title tournament and will meet Christian on Smackdown next week but William Regal's partner Paul Burchill will be in action on Velocity as he attempts to deal with Kid Romeo who has been plotting and planning with Christian.

Big Vito and Nunzio cost DDP and Kanyon the tag team titles out of jealousy and they will be in action on Velocity as they go up against Rey Mysterio and Chavo Guerrero.

Juventud Guerrera and Psychosis will be in action as they take on two former WWE stars who return to action tonight. Who will they be?

Also a member of the staff on the Smackdown brand will be stepping into action to take on an un announced opponent. Expect that to be a good match.

Also note that the following matches are qualifiers for entry into the match for the yet to be determined title come No Way Out.

Velocity Recap

W.W.E Velocity was so full of hype but was a major let down. However we do find ourselves with two superstars announced to be in the United States Title tournament. Paul London defeated Orlando Jordan in 28 seconds and spoke to Shane later in the night.

Buff Bagwell made his debut and defeated Doug Basham. Off air Buff was given a spot in the United States Title tournament and will face Paul London on Smackdown this week.

In other action we saw William Regal defeat Kid Romeo by disqualification. Kid Romeo attacked Regal on Smackdown last week but was unaware of his attacker’s identity till now.

The Main Event was highly anticipated but was not as good as it appeared to be on paper. Billy Kidman and Frankie Kazarian made their return to the W.W.E and defeated Kid Kash and Mark Shade.

Velocity comes on the air and we join our hosts of the Saturday night show, Josh Matthews and Bill Demott. The arena isn't packed but there seems to be quite a lot of fans in attendance.

[Josh Matthews] - Hello Smackdown fans, this is Velocity, I'm Josh Matthews and this is my broadcast partner, Bill Demott.

[bill Demott] - We are preparing for another night of great wrestling action, isn’t that right Josh?

[Josh Matthews] - It certainly is and with the expected debut of 4 superstars, Billy Kidman, Frankie Kazarian, Buff Bagwell and an unknown superstar who will face William Regal momentarily.

[bill Demott] - First lets take you back to Smackdown earlier this week when William Regal found himself being attacked backstage.

Smackdown Rewind

William Regal is seen backstage, despite the fact that he is not in action tonight. Suddenly he is attacked from behind by someone; we cannot see their face as they continue the assault on William Regal. Regal gets nailed with a set of brass knuckles.

The attacker quickly runs off as William Regal is out cold on the floor.

Show: Velocity

Date: 11th February 2006

Last week's Velocity was a good show with several debuts made and this week looks to be no different, only this time the superstars to make their debut have been named and shall be in action in what is a jam packed episode of Velocity.

Doug Basham will take on a man who has wrestled before in the W.W.E and had a disasterous match against Booker T, that man is Buff Bagwell.

Paul London who picked up a victory over Mark Shade last week will take on Orlando Jordan this week.

William Regal's attacker from Smackdown, although unknown to him will face him in action this week. The superstar who is set to make his debut is yet to be named to the public.

The main event will be one hell of a match as Kid Kash teams with Mark Shade to face the team of Frankie Kazarian and Billy Kidman.

The Smackdown theme song is played and Smackdown comes on the air, pyro shoots off from the ring and entrance ramp, the camera pans around the crowd before coming to rest at the announce table where we join Michael Cole and Tazz.

[Michael Cole] - Welcome to another edition of Smackdown with Michael Cole and Tazz. It is clear that Shane McMahon meant every word that he said last week about everyone being equal as far as challenging for the World Title is concerned, that we would be getting some more top superstars and would be making progress towards becoming the number 1 brand in sport entertainment.

[Tazz] - Did you see Raw this past Monday night Cole? That had to be one of the worst shows ever and I am happy to say that Smackdown knocked it for six.

[Michael Cole] - And what about the fact that Raw have already held their first Pay Per View, Where Eagles Dare.

[Tazz] - I saw that Cole and it had some good matches, most notably the main event in which Hulk Hogan defeated Ric Flair & Triple H. I expect out Pay Per View later this month, No Way Out will be a much better event.

[Michael Cole] - Undoubtedly Tazz and tonight’s action will be as well. Our opening match of the night is set to be Juventud Guerrera and Psychosis against Rey Mysterio & Chavo Guerrero after what we saw on Velocity last week.

[Tazz] - No doubt it will be a good match but I am really looking forward to tonight’s main event where Batista faces both Booker T and Sean O’Haire in a handicap match. Normally my money would be against the loner in this match but since its Batista, I think Booker and O’Haire have it hard.

’An Opportunity’

The titantron comes to life and we find ourselves backstage where Juventud Guerrera and Psychosis have just left Super Crazy. Shane McMahon appears just a few moments later.

[shane McMahon] - Super Crazy, just the man that I was looking for?

Super Crazy - Me?

[shane McMahon] - That’s right; I want to offer you an opportunity to be one of the first new champions under my reign as the owner of Smackdown.

[super Crazy] - I would never turn down such an opportunity, but what’s in it for you?

[shane McMahon] - There is nothing in it for me except the chance to show some good matches on my show. After your win last week, I want to enter you into the United States title tournament and your first match will be against …. Stevie Richards.

[super Crazy] - That’s great. Thanks.

Super Crazy begins to walk away when Shane calls to him.

[shane McMahon] - However in order to claim your tournament spot, you must stay away from this match. Are we clear?

[super Crazy] - Crystal.

It seems that Super Crazy will not be a factor in the opening match but will wrestle Stevie Richards later tonight.

Show: Smackdown

Date: Friday 10th February

Shane McMahon's first night as the owner of the Smackdown brand was one to remember with the announcement of a United States Title tournament, The Cruiserweight Title being banished with a new un-named championship in its place.

Randy Orton made it clear he wants into the United States Title tournament and after bloodying Chris Benoit, found himself without an answer to wither he is in or not.

Stevie Richards got a huge victory over The Deadman as Taker got counted out with good strategy from Richards. Stevie Richards suffered a chokeslam for his efforts but also finds himself in The United States Title Tournament.

Booker T came up short against Batista despite having attacked the champion earlier in the night. Batista's pain didn't end here though as the shock return of Sean O'Haire targeted The World Champion.

Also Velocity last week saw the debut of Dale Torborg, Sonny Siaki, Ron Killings and Mark Shade. This week on Smackdown, we could see even more debuts as Shane McMahon attempts to get his show above Raw in popularity.

[Josh Matthews] - We will show the footage from Smackdown where Shane spoke about changes but first we have Sylvain Grenier against a man called Dale Torborg.

Smackdown was one hell of a show to kick start Shane McMahon’s reign as the owner of Smackdown and his second and not so famous show is Velocity which airs late night on Saturday.

It is well known that most people will miss this show but you can catch the show again on WWE.com

Velocity this week has two matches announced for it already.

Paul London vs. Mark Shade

Rey Mysterio vs. Juventud Guerrera

The Smackdown theme song is played and Smackdown comes on the air, pyro shoots off from the ring and entrance ramp, the camera pans around the crowd before coming to rest at the announce table where we join Michael Cole and Tazz.

[Michael Cole] - Welcome to another edition of Smackdown with Michael Cole and Tazz. There is some major news here in the W.W.E and its hot off the press.

[Tazz] - Cool down Cole, the fans can barely understand you when you talk so fast.

[Michael Cole] - Sorry Tazz, i am just so excited with the prospect that Smackdown could soon become the top brand in sports entertainment. Especially under the ownership of ........

Just as Michael Cole is about to announce the name, the words "Here Comes The Money" echo throughout the arena and the Smackdown fans go wild as the owner of the Smackdown brand, Shane McMahon comes out from the back and makes his way down to the ring.

Shane steps through the ropes and is getting some great reactions from the fans, he can barely contain his smile as he is handed a microphone.

[shane McMahon] - It is true what most of you have heard, my father, Vince McMahon is critically ill in hospital, right now he is in a coma and his chances of coming out of the coma are at this moment, dare i say it, very slim. That is why Stephanie and I have been given our inheritance in the W.W.E! However there had been a bit of dispute over who would get which show and in the end i got Smackdown. Now i have come out here tonight to let everybody know that i will be in complete control over what happens here on Smackdown. Any and all funds, will come direct to me, Shane McMahon and i shall use that money to bring in more talent, produce better matches and ensure that the quality of Smackdown is increased. So much so that Smackdown will be the most dominant brand in the W.W.E and in the entire world of sports entertainment.

[shane McMahon] - My first order of business is to make a promise to each and everyone of you. I promise that each superstar here on Smackdown shall be kept here on Smackdown, i shall not trade any of them for Raw superstars and i shall not let our top draws be taken away. Kurt Angle and John Cena helped make Smackdown before they where stolen away by the ludacrious trades made last year. Batista, our current World Heavyweight Champion is the only superstar we have gotten that has made something of their career since coming to Smackdown.

[shane McMahon] - I know what you are all thinking, we have Chris Benoit and Randy Orton, two superstars who have come over from Raw and been great superstars, great performers and a pleasure to watch. However, they have been misused terribley but that is going to end because under my reign, superstars will all be treated as equals, everyone will be treated as equals and that means there is no difference between a cruiserweight and a heavyweight. Infact lets take the cruiserweight title and throw it straight out of the window. Enjoy the show, enjoy my show!

The fans are in shock at this announcement, the cruiserweights have never really been taken seriously in the heavyweight categories such as the United States and World Titles. Shane McMahon disappears to the back in just a matter of minutes.

Make sure you tune into the first Smackdown broadcast as the new Mr McMahon, Shane McMahon takes control of his show for the first time.
