WWE Smackdown
July 14, 2005
Columbus, Ohio
Smackdown kicks off live tonight for Columbus Ohio! The pyro explodes, and we’re ready to smack your TV! We go down to the broadcast position at ringside to see Michael Cole sitting by himself.
Cole- Welcome to Smackdown everyone. I am Michael Cole running solo here tonight due to the draft held last week. Tazz is gone to Raw, right now being wasted by that no good Eric Bischoff. But, the sho…
Suddenly some music plays in the arena, and out comes The Coach. He struts down to the ring, and takes a seat beside Cole. He starts talking smack to Cole, even before his headset is on correctly.
Coach- Let me tell you something Michael. If I ever hear you talk like that about Mr. Bischoff, I’ll smack the taste out of your mouth. He is far superior to Teddy Long, and you know it. One thing Long did that I applaud is making me the new voice of Smackdown! Howev…
Just then Coach is cut off by the music of WWE Champion John Cena! The fans let out their first pop of the night for The Doctor of Thugonomics. John enters the ring, and takes a mic, giving his belt a spin.
Cena- Is Columbus in the house!! Damn straight, representing the Chain Gang up in here. You know I’ve got a match in a couple of weeks at The Great American Bash against that punk JBL. I guess Teddy Long hasn’t figured out I’ve beaten him twice already. But that’s fine, once more ain’t nothin’! The fact is, this time around there will be only one man left standing. Meaning, JBL will have no choice but to leave me the hell alone when I beat his ass so bad he can’t even stand! So JBL, here it is. Come to The Bash with all you’ve got. I don’t want you coming up with any excuses. After ‘Mania you said my reign as WWE Champ would be short lived. Well, now is your chance, your LAST chance to prove it! At The Bash, BRING IT!!
Cena drops the mic with a thud. He puts up the Word Life sign, and exits the arena to a huge ovation.
OR: 79

After a break we see Chris Masters in the ring with cash in his trunks, and a mic in his hand.
Masters- Last week was my Smackdown unveiling! I must say, I did damn well too. So tonight I’m here to once again put my cash on the line. This time $13,000 of my money is on the line. So let’s see what we’ve got.
HELLO LADIES!!
Bath robe and all, out comes Val Venis. Yet another former Raw superstar makes his presence left on Smackdown. Val gives his towel to a lucky lady at ringside. She looks very happy, but Masters… not so much.
Masters- Whoa, I’ve beaten you so many times on Raw, I’m sick. So why don’t you head back there again, and let someone else try!
Val- What’s wrong scared Chris?
Masters gets very upset, and adjusts the chair angrily, screaming at Val to sit down. With that the challenge is on! Venis gets a huge burst of energy right out of the gate. This catches Masters off guard, and the Masterlock is almost broken in record time! However, The Masterpiece is able to get a good grip on the Full Nelson, and proceeds to squeeze away. Soon the adrenaline that Val had at the start begins to fade, as does he. The referee checks on Val, who cannot respond. The referee calls for the bell!
Winner: Chris Masters

Billy Kidman vs. Psychosis
The Start
Following a break, there is another match about ready to begin. Out first is Kidman, followed by Psychosis. Psychosis comes on a lawn mower, which has become The Mexicools’ trademark as of late. The bell rings, and the two meet centre ring. Psychosis is laughing, looking as if he’s having fun out there. Kidman however sees no fun in Psychosis, as he slaps the taste out of his mouth. Psychosis’ deposition changes quickly, as he connects with a forearm shot. He then whips Kidman into the ropes, and hits a dropkick.
Mid-Match
Following shots like the dropkick dished out by Psychosis, it looks like Kidman may be regretting the slap from earlier. Or at least that’s what it seemed in the early going. As the match progresses however, Kidman regroups. He suckers Psychosis into the corner at one point, and sends him shoulder first into the unforgiving steel post. Kidman sees that the shoulder is hurting, so he unloads with elbow drops to the target. He then wraps the entire arm around the top rope, and holds it until the referee gets his count up to four. Kidman backs off a bit, then charges towards Psychosis. The somewhat recovered Psychosis sees him coming however, and connects with a jumping leg lariat.
The Finish
Psychosis looks to capitalize on the fallen Kidman, by heading up to the top turnbuckle. Before he can even get set Kidman is on his feet, obviously playing possum that whole time. In only a few steps Kidman is sending Psychosis down to the mat with his version of a frankensteiner. He then heads up top again, this time looking for the Shooting Star Press. The finishing move is hit, and Kidman goes for the pin. Paul London is spotted at the entrance way by the cameras, and Kidman sees him too. So he breaks the pin, and goes up top again. A second Shooting Star is hit, this time with his knees connecting with Psychosis’ face. Psychosis not surprisingly looks to be out cold, as Kidman stares a hole into London. 1-2-3!!
Winner: Billy Kidman
London seems disgusted by Billy hitting the same shooting star press that has put guys like himself, and Chavo Guerrero on the self. Kidman however seems very pleased with himself, as he heads backstage.

Psychosis stands in the ring alone after the match, obviously a little shaken up. The referee tries to help him out. However MNM hit the ring, out of nowhere, and attack. Melina shouts out orders to her guys, as they lay a monster beating on Psychosis. They beat him almost to the point of blacking out. They however manage to get him on his feet, as they set up for the snap shot. They are sent into retreat however by Juventud running down with a steel chair in toe. MNM bail out, as Juvi leans on the ropes screaming in Spanish. The fans go crazy for the Mexicools as Psychosis makes it to his feet.
Psychosis lost overness from this segment
OR: 61

After a short break, the ring is decked out for Carlito’s Cabana, complete with palm trees, and apples. Speaking of apples, Carlito is standing in the ring, taking a huge bite out of an apple. Not far behind Carlito, in fact, insanely close to Carlito is the monster Matt Morgan. CCC tries to get away from Morgan, as he begins his segment.
CCC- Last week my guest was unable to attend the Cabana. Unfortunately, my guest tonight is here. He has been babbling in Japanese all night, in excitement. Who can blame him, it’s the Cabana. I just wish my guest had at least one brain cell. Anyway, here he is, Tajiri.
The Japanese Buzzsaw comes out to be a part of tonight’s Cabana to a good reaction from the crowd. Carlito looks less than impressed, and Matt Morgan isn’t even paying attention, but rather staring blankly at Carlito. Tajiri is now in the ring, and has a mic in hand. Carlito starts the interview.
CCC- So Tajiri, I know you’re a big Cabana fan. So let me ask you, how does it feel to be in the presence of greatness, Carlito Caribbean Cool? You know, I am a former United States Champion?
Tajiri- I love title belts. Tajiri win one some day!
CCC- I bet you will. But that wasn’t what I was saying. I was asking, how does it feel to know Carlito brought you on his show.
Tajiri- Me very happy. But not as happy as Matt Morgan.
Tajiri looks at Morgan, as does Carlito. They notice Morgan has a huge bulge in his pants. Carlito looks absolutely disgusted. However Morgan looks very proud of himself. Tajiri speaks again.
Tajiri- I think Carlito love Morgan.
CCC- Ok listen here Tajiri. Carlito is straight. I’m more of a man than you’ll ever be. I’m cool, your not!
Tajiri puckers his lips and mocks Caribbean Cool. This sends Carlito over the edge, as he sucker punches Tajiri, sending him down to the mat. He continues his assault by stomping the fallen Tajiri. He then takes a bite of an apple, and proceeds to spit it in the face of Tajiri. Morgan is now extremely happy, as he begins to massage Carlito’s shoulders. Carlito whips himself around screaming at Morgan. This verbal beating continues until the duo is behind the curtain. The camera pans on Tajiri collecting himself in the ring, as we cut to break.

Orton vs. Jindrak
The Start
As we return, Mark Jindrak is in the ring awaiting his opponent. Randy Orton’s music then hits, and the fans erupt into boos for the Legend Killer. Orton poses with his fireworks going off behind him. He soaks up every bit of the fans disapproval of him, as he steps through the ropes. He then taunts Jindrak, as the bell rings to start this one.
Mid-Match
Orton controls the better part of this match. All the while he seems very cocky, and arrogant. The tide turns as Orton goes up to the top turnbuckle. He looks for a axe handle drop, but instead gets turned inside out by a dropkick that connected with his gut. This short comeback by Jindrak gets a small pocket of cheers from some fans. However it doesn’t last, as Orton uses every trick in the book in order to regain control.
The Finish
After about eight minutes of just beats the crap out of Jindrak, Orton decides to put him away. So he decides to grab a chair from ringside, and sizes Mark up for a shot. This brings out US Champ Booker T! Orton sees him, and drops the chair. He points to Book, and hits Jindrak with a vicious RKO. All the while staring at Booker T, he pins Mark for the win. As the Legend Killer’s music plays, he jaws away at Booker T, who jaws back.
Winner: Randy Orton
CR: 74
MQ: 71
OR: 73

Orton’s music is cut, and the Legend Killer stops taunting Booker. Teddy Long is shown on the Titan-Tron, and he doesn’t look pleased.
Long- Orton your about on my last nerve playa! You have shown nothing but disrespect for Booker T, and more importantly the US Title from your first day on Smackdown! So that’s why I think you should get respect shown to you the hard way. I am making a match right here for Smackdown’s next Pay Per View, The Great American Bash. It will be Randy Orton versus…Booker T! For the WWE United States Championship. Holla back playa!
Both Orton and Booker look pleased with that announcement, as Orton continues motioning towards Booker that the US Title will be his.
OR: 68

Whipwreck vs. Greiner
The Start
This week the fan have gained a little more respect for Greiner. Proof of this is the next on Smackdown. It starts with Whipwreck extending his hand out to Sylvain, as the fans yell for Greiner to knock Mikey’s teeth in. Wisely Greiner slaps Whipwreck’s hand away, and prepares for a lock up. Sinister Minister yells at Greiner, yelling him he made a bad move.
Mid Match
The match had started very slowly, with neither man knowing much about his opponent. But as the match goes on, they get into quite the slug fest. As the slug fest goes on, it favors Mikey, who has spent time in ECW. Not to mention, he has the Minister on the outside, choking Sylvain with his cain at every opportunity. As the match goes on however, Sylvain is able to change the style of the match, and take control over the brawler. The brawling continues on both sides however, and that results in the referee catching an arid fist from Greiner.
The Finish
Sylvain has total control of the match for quite some time. But is unable to score the three. So he goes for a huge risk, up on the top turnbuckle. It’s not hard to see he is out of his element big time up there, and Sinister Minister is able to take advantage of it. He gets on the apron, and crack his cane over Greiner’s back. He crashes down to the mat. Mikey picks him up, and hits the Whiplash for a final nail in the coffin. The referee is revived just in time to count, 1-2-3!!
Winner: Mikey Whipwreck
CR: 43
MQ: 73
OR: 58
After the match Sinister Minister gets into the ring, and now Greiner is being double teamed. Not for long however, as Rene Dupree hits the ring, and cases both men off. He checks on his former partner, as the whole building goes crazy.

Backstage we have Todd Grisham standing by with HBK Shawn Michaels.
Todd- I’m standing here with the Hearbreak Kid Shawn Michaels. Shawn tonight you team with WWE Champion John Cena as you both try and teach JBL and Edge a lesson in the main event.
HBK- See that’s where you’re wrong Todd. Tonight will not be the only night I teach Edge a lesson. I talked to Teddy Long not long ago, and he granted me a match. So, at The Great American Bash your gonna see Edge & Christian take on HBK Shawn Michaels and…, well your just gonna have to wait for that part. As far as tonight goes, I’ll be proud to team with John Cena and tare the house down!
With that Shawn leaves the interview area. Grisham looks in the direction HBK went, as the camera quickly switches to a different part of the building…
OR: 83

We are treated to the ladies locker room, where it appears Victoria has jumped Christy Hemme. It is no secret that before the draft, these two ladies didn’t really see eye to eye. Victoria always thought Christy was a weak link in the women’s division. However, right now it seems Christy is proving her wrong, as she giving a pretty good fight. This fight doesn’t last, as officials are on the scene. This doesn’t stop the verbal war, as Victoria promises to rip Christy apart, as we go to break. The Main Event is next!

John Cena and Shawn Michaels vs. John Bradshaw Layfield and Edge
The Start
First out is Edge to huge heat, and a few “You Screwed Matt” chants. He soaks it all up, clutching his money in the bank briefcase. His tag team partner for the night, JBL, comes out via his long horns limo. The two meet in the ring, and shake hands. Now it’s time for the faces. AW AW AW SHAWN!! HBK dances his way out to the ring, much to the dismay of Edge who snarls at Shawn. Michaels waits on the outside, for the WWE Champ. Lastly out comes John Cena! The Doctor Of Thugonomics meets up with Michaels, and they both charge the ring to jump start the match!
Mid-Match
The match started very out of control, and hectic. But soon everything is back to normal with Shawn and Edge starting off the match. The two go back and forth with punches, and eventually Shawn wins the battle. He attempts to whip Edge into the ropes, but it is reversed, and JBL is able to get his knee into Shawn lower back. The referee didn’t see that, but he does catch a tag between Edge and JBL. In comes the #1 contender, unloading on HBK. He focuses on the back for a long while. He even gets Shawn to the point where he can’t even stand. JBL waits for HBK to get to his feet, so he can take Shawn’s head off. Shawn gets to his feet, and catches JBL with a surprise Sweet Chin Music. Michaels collapse, but is still able to tag in WWE Champ, John Cena.
The Finish
Following the hot tag, the champ unloads on all comers! Edge runs into the ring, but Cena takes care of him quickly. He gives JBL the “You Can’t See Me” sign, and sets him up on his shoulders for the F-U. Edge returns to the ring however, and spears Cena. Back in comes HBK, as he takes Edge over the top rope, while taking himself over too. Meanwhile, JBL has Cena pinned. 1-2-KICK OUT!! On the outside, HBK and Edge take their fight to the crowd, and beyond. This leaves the main event of The Great American Bash in the ring. Cena ducks JBL’s big boot, and set up the F-U once more. This time with Edge gone, JBL has no help. Cena plants JBL with the move, and makes the cover. 1-2-3!!
Winners: John Cena & Shawn Michaels
CR: 87
MQ: 75

After the match, John Cena grabs his spinner belt, and poses on the second turnbuckle.
Cole- What a night. Besides the fact that I have to sit beside you Coach, I think Smackdown’s future is going to be great.
Coach- What are you talking about fool? Besides of course JBL, I am this show’s future!
Cole- Yeah sure. Anyway, what an event the Bash is turning out to be. Be sure to tune in to Smackdown next week to see what else will happen on the greatest brand in the world!

WWE Smackdown!
July 7, 2005
Erie, Pennsylvania
The opening for Smackdown plays, followed by a camera shot of the jam packed arena here in Erie, Pennsylvania. Almost immediately the scrolling bar appears.
Pick #35. SD - Chris Masters
We then go to Michael Cole and Tazz sitting ringside.
Cole: Welcome to Smackdown everyone! As you can tell from the scrolling bar at the bottom of your screen, this is day two of the draft lottery set up by Mr. McMahon. So far Tazz, the boss’ promise of shaking up the WWE has become reality!
Tazz: No doubt Cole. Smackdown suffered some great losses last Monday, but at the same time, we gained some great talent!
You Think You Know Me… With that out comes one of Smackdown’s biggest grabs. Edge sprints down the ramp, then slides into the ring. As his music dies down, chants of “We Want Matt!” begin. A toothy grin appears on Edge’s face, as he begins.
Edge- I love you guys too.
Pick #36. Extreme – Masato Tanaka
Edge (looking at the scrolling bar) - As you can see the draft lottery is in full swing. That’s what brings me here tonight. I’m here tonight to cash in on my title shot! That’s right; I’m Mr. Money In The Bank. And tonight, John Cena finds out why! Over on Raw, they have the World Heavyweight Championship. But I find that the WWE Title is what I truly deserve. It’s by far the better title. If only it wasn’t for the champion, John Cena!
Just then we hear, AW AW AW SHAWNNNNN!!!! The Hearbreak Kid Shawn Michaels dances his way out in front of the crowd. He stops at the stage, and takes out a mic.
HBK: Edge, as you know by now, I was drafted by Smackdown last Monday night! This means I have to remain on the same show as you. And I just wanted to make sure I started it off right. I was so sick of hearing you moan and complain every week on Raw. That isn’t gonna happen this time around. I’ll make sure of it! So what do ya say? Right here tonight, Edge vs. Good Ol’ HBK?
Edge- You know what Shawn, you wasted up old bastard. You’re on!!
OR:82

Billy Kidman & Carlito vs. Paul London & Psychosis
The Start
WWE fans get their first look at Psychosis in this opening match. He and Kidman kick off the match with a lock up. Kidman locks in a side headlock. This gets shrugged off, and he is sent to the ropes. He hits a shoulder tackle, Psychosis is down. But he nips up, hits Kidman with a quick armdrag, and there seems to be a stalemate. The fans clap in appreciation.
Mid-Match
As the match grows older, Kidman gains the advantage over Psychosis. He tags out to Carlito, to a huge ovation.
Pick #37. Raw – Jerry “The King” Lawler
Carlito takes Psychosis down, and then boots him in the head coolly. Caribbean Cool locks in a front facelock, and forces Psychosis to struggle his arm over to Paul London. He gets very close at one point, but London is taken off the apron by Carlito forcefully. As Carlito turns, he is caught with a standing dropkick. Both men are down, and London is beginning to collect himself over in the corner. As Psychosis inches closer to his corner, Kidman comes in to try and stop the tag from happening. But he can’t make it in time. In comes Paul London like a house of fire. He takes out the opponents by himself with backdrops, dropkicks, and suplexes.
Pick #38. SD - Billy Kidman
The Finish
During the closing moments of the match Kidman begins to show us why Teddy Long decided to take him 38th overall. Carlito tags him in, and from there he lays a beating down on the Cruiserweight Champion. He uses any means necessary in order to set him up for the Shooting Star Press. It all pays off as he hits his finisher. 1-2-kick out! Kidman freaks out at how London was able to kick out. He worries about the referee too much, and almost gets caught up by a Paul London roll up. He kicks out at two however, and proceeds to pound London with closed fists. He then attempts a second Shooting Star. This time however, his knee connects with London’s face. With the champ seemingly out cold, Kidman makes the pin, 1-2-3!!
Winners: Carlito & Kidman
Cole- It looks as though Kidman has resorted to old tricks to get a win here tonight! I can’t stand him Tazz!
Tazz- Take it easy Cole. I’m not a big fan of the way he won either. But obviously our General Manager sees something in him, because he’s staying right here on Thursday Nights!

MQ: 82

Pick #39. Extreme – Spike Dudley
In the parking area we see Rene Dupree hanging around for some unexplained reason with Fefe in toe. He comes across a car he seems to recognize. So he decides to get a closer look.
Pick #40. Raw - Eugene
He looks at the license plate, and his eyes widen.
Dupree- Sylvain? Fefe, Sylvain is here. Isn’t that great!
Cole- Partner, did you hear that?
Tazz- Yeah, it seems Rene’s old running buddy might be here, but why?
OR: 73
~~
Pick #41. SD – Tajiri
As Smackdown returns, one of its newest draft picks, Chris Masters, is in the ring with a mic.
Masters- Just about an hour ago, I got a call on my cell phone. That call changed my life. That call, has brought me to Smackdown! So I hurried here for reason. To bring The Masterlock Challenge to Smackdown! I’m here tonight to put $12,000 on the line against any Smackdown superstar who thinks he can break my Masterlock!
Pick #42. Extreme - Charlie Haas
HOW DO YOU LIKE ME NOW!
Hardcore Holly comes out to answer the challenge. Masters sets up the steel chair in centre ring, and invites Holly to sit down. Slowly, and never taking his eyes off Masters, Holly takes a seat. Masters hands his mic over to the referee, and hooks in his Masterlock slowly. The contest begins, as Hardcore struggles to break free. The struggle continues for a long while, with Hardcore gaining little ground. Finally things begin to look up for Holly, but Masters kicks his feet out from him, forcing him to his knees. Once there, there is nothing Holly can do. The pain becomes too much, and Hardcore can not respond to the referee, so the challenge is stopped.
Winner: Chris Masters
Pick #43. Raw - Miss Jackie
OR: 69
CR: 58
MQ: 78
~~
As we return, we find the ring to be set up for an edition of Carlito’s Cabana. Carlito himself is in the ring with his stuttering buddy, Matt Morgan. Carlito tosses an apple a few times, and then speaks.
CCC: You know Carlito was going to come out here, and interview a new face here on Smackdown. Carlito thought Teddy Long would be smart enough to bring in some real talent. But no! Shawn Michaels, come on. He’s not cool!
Pick #44. SD – Johnny Swinger
The closest thing to cool Teddy has brought us is Edge. And you know what? He turned down The Cabana! So a replacement guest has been brought in. Introducing, Matt Morgan! Hahaha.
Morgan: Th-th-thanks for having me Carlito.
CCC: Yeah yeah, so tell me Matt, how cool is it that I let you hang out with me? Be honest.
Morgan: It’s great! You’ve taught me all kinds of new moves.
CCC- What? No, Carlito didn’t show you a thing. I don’t swing that way.
Morgan-Sure you did. Like the big bo-bo-boot. I use that one a lot.
CCC- Oh wrestling moves! Of course I did. Carlito is a great wrestler. He knows it all.
Morgan- You sure do.
Pick #45. Extreme - Nova
Morgan looks deep into Carlito’s eyes. This freaks Carlito out quite a bit.
CCC-You know what, this interview is over.
Carlito drops his mic, and is heard asking Morgan what’s wrong with him as they leave the ring.

Pick #46. Raw - Gene Snitsky
Following a commercial we see all three members of MNM standing in the ring. Melina has a mic.
Melina- Teddy Long said for us to be in the ring right now, because he has a special match set up for Nitro. So I wanna know, who is this match with?
Just then, the scrolling bar activates.
Pick #47. SD - Sylvain Grenier
When that appears the music of La Resistance comes on and out comes Grenier. The fans give him a mixed reaction, as he enters the ring.
Nitro w/ Melina vs. Sylvain Grenier
Mid-Match
Pick #48. Extreme – “Big Stevie Cool” Stevie Richards
Grenier continues an assault that has been going on from the beginning of the match. This fact alone means that the fans have gained some respect for him. Nitro stops the momentum however with a low blow, undetected by the referee, who was distracted by Melina. The tide of the match turns as Nitro takes over keeping Grenier grounded with bodyslams and suplexes.
The Finish
Nitro is in full control, and decides to put the match away. He goes up to the top, looking for his legdrop from the top. The move connects, and he goes for the pin. 1-2-kick out! Nitro can’t believe it, and Melina is now once again on the apron talking with the ref. This gives time for Mercury to run down to the ring. Nitro holds Sylvain in place for a title belt to the face. But Greiner moves and Nitro gets stunned by the belt. Mercury is knocked off the apron, as the referee turns to make the count, 1-2-3!
Winner: Sylvain Greiner
After the announcement is made, Mercury makes his way into the ring, and Grenier gets double teamed by MNM. Suddenly the La Resistance music plays again, this time for Rene Dupree. Rene comes running down to save his former tag team partner. MNM flees for safety, and the save is made! The fans show their appreciation by giving La Resistance a huge ovation.

Cole- Unbelievable! Tazz, La Resistance is back in action! Greiner is here on Smackdown!
Tazz- Cole I can’t believe what I ju…
Pick #49. Raw – Tazz
With that Michael Cole and Tazz both go silent. We then fade to a commercial.
~~
As Smackdown returns it seems Michael Cole has collected himself after finding out Tazz will be moving over to Raw.
Cole- Well Tazz I guess the show must go on. Standing by backstage is our own Chris Leary. He is with Booker T.
Pick #50. SD - Val Venis
Chris- Thanks Michael, Booker tonight you compete for the US Title against Orlando Jordan.
Book- That’s right sucka. Tonight Booker T becomes the star he once was. I will go down in history as the 5 Time WCW Champion! And tonight I go down in history once again as US Champion. Can you dig that?
Chris- Yeah I dig that. But let’s say you win here tonight. With the draft going on, you don’t know who could be coming after you.
Pick #51. Extreme - Dawn Marie
Book- Man I don’t care. Whoever wants some can come get some.
Suddenly Randy Orton interrupts the interview.
Orton- Booker, Booker, Booker…Seems like you’re all fired up. Well don’t get too excited, because I don’t even think you can win tonight. You’re too old. Past your prime. But I will say this. You were a legend in WCW. Be proud of that. But you’ve never been able to hack it here.
With that being said, Orton leaves the interview area with Booker T fuming.
OR: 90
Pick #52. Raw – Torrie Wilson

Booker T vs. Orlando Jordan-US Title Match
Pick #53. SD – Joy Giovanni
The Start
We return to Smackdown with Orlando in the ring, and Booker just stepping through the ropes. The bell rings, and the match is on!
Mid-Match
Orlando reverses a whip into the ropes, and hits a back elbow. He then begins taking control of the match, after Booker dominated in the early going.
Pick #54. Extreme - Funaki
Jordan scoop slams Booker down to the mat after picking him up. Then he drops a leg. He only gets a two count out of it however. Jordan becomes frustrated after countless attempts at putting Booker away. He manages to keep his emotions in check, in order to keep Booker from mounting a comeback…
The Finish
With the referee down from the miscued superkick, there is nobody who can count the pinfall. This frustrates Orlando even more. So he resorts to a steel chair on the outside. He brings it in, and sizes Booker up. Booker turns, and is able to duck the shot just in the nick of time. He then hits a superkick of his own to the chair, which comes back hitting Jordan in the face. A dazed Jordan walks right into the Book End. The referee manages to make a slow count. 1-2-3!! New Champion!!
Winner: NEW US Champion, Booker T
Pick #55. Raw - Sabu
As Booker celebrates his win, Jordon rolls to the outside, disgusted in defeat. All of the sudden, Randy Orton appears, apparently coming from the crowd. He turns Book around, and nails the RKO. As the fans boo the Legend Killer heavily, Orton poses with the US Title.

The WWE United States title has gained in image.

After a commercial break, Smackdown returns with Orlando Jordan back inside the ring, sitting in the corner looking very pissed off. Suddenly the music of JBL plays, and the man himself makes his way to the ring. Unlike other JBL entrances, this time there is no limo. Tonight JBL looks to be all business. He enters the ring, and grabs a mic.
JBL- Orlando, do you realize what you’ve done here tonight? You have succeeded in making me look like a complete idiot. I cannot have this happening. You know what, go backstage now. I can’t look at you right now.
Pick #56. SD - Mark Jindrak
The fans boo JBL’s display of how unprofessional he can be. Jordan receives a small pop as he makes his way backstage as he was instructed.
Pick #57. Extreme – Nunzio
JBL- Now that is out of the way, let me say some things about this draft lottery. It sucks! I mean giving those ECW losers their own brand, Extreme, is just now smart for business! What if I, god forbid, get stuck with somebody like Tommy Dreamer? Or…The… Blue Meanie (huge pop). Shut up! You’d like that wouldn’t you! Well I’m telling you right now Teddy Long, it better not happen!
Anyway, on to other more important things. The real reason I came out here is to say that I want one more shot at John Cena. I deserve it. I was the best damn WWE Champion of all time, and what Cena is doing with the legacy of the belt is disgraceful! So John, what do you say? Do you want one more go around with the Wrestling God?
Pick #58. Raw - Maven
After a short pause, Cena’s hit “My Time Is Now” hits. Out comes the WWE Champion to a huge ovation. He pulls out a mic, before entering the ring. As he climbs up the steps, he speaks to JBL.
Cena- You know what homie. I’m starting to think I’ve beat you enough times, I deserve a break from your lame ass! But on the other hand, every time we meet I have such a great time beating you to a bloody pulp.
JBL- Hey! You need to shut your mouth. Besides, you couldn’t do it again, and you know it!
Cena- Take it easy slim. I’ll tell you what. If you want one more match, let’s not wait. Let’s do it right here, RIGHT NOW!
With that Cena, who is now in the ring, drops the mic and tackles JBL. Soon the ring is filled with security personal trying their best to break up the brawl. They succeed in getting the two on their feet, and away from each other. Our attention is soon turned to the titan-tron as GM Long appears.
Pick #59. SD - Matt Morgan
OR: 76
Long- Hold on a second playas. I can’t have you two interrupting my show so you can settle old rivalries. Now I know you two have had some classic battles, and I know you guys want another crack at each other. Quite frankly, I wouldn’t mind making some money off another classic battle between you two
Pick #60. Extreme - Blue Meanie
Long- But in order…
JBL- Excuse me Teddy. I just have a quick announcement to make. The Blue Meanie will NOT be on Smackdown. Thank you very much.
Pick #61. Raw -Hardcore Holly
Long- Thanks for that JBL. As I was saying… In order for you two to wrestle again, I have no choice but to do it in front of a pay per view audience. So on July 31st at The Great American Bash, it will be John Cena defending his WWE Championship against JBL... In a Last Man Standing Match! Holla holla holla!!!
Pick #62. SD - Scotty 2 Hotty
With that announcement, Smackdown goes to commercial. The Main Event, is next!
OR: 73

Shawn Michaels vs. Edge
The Start
As Smackdown returns, Edge’s music plays for the second time tonight. This time he is set for one on one action against Shawn Michaels. As these two will try and settle their score tonight. After a short pause, out comes HBK to a huge ovation. He gets down on his knees, and his pyro goes up behind him. Then he is ready for action. The bell sounds as they both stare each other down.
Pick #63. Extreme - Tommy Dreamer
Mid-Match
In the early stages of the match Shawn Michaels looks to be in great shape physically, as well as match wise. He takes Edge down with armdrags, and headlock takedowns. While on the mat, Edge pulls at HBK’s hair in order to get his shoulders on the mat. Only for a two count however. Shawn continues with the headlock. Until Edge is able to make it to a vertical base, where he hits a side suplex, ala old school Shawn Michaels himself. The referee begins his mandatory ten count.
Pick #64. Raw - Kenzo Suzuki
Early in the count, Edge is on his feet. He waits in the corner, sizing HBK up for a spear. Shawn gets to his feet, and turns towards Edge, just in time to see the spear coming. He side steps the move, sending Edge shoulder first into the steel post. His own momentum sends Edge to the arena floor on the outside. This is when Shawn decides to launch himself through the ropes, on to Edge on the outside. As he does this both men hit their heads on the barrier, and look to be out of it. With this, Smackdown takes its final commercial break.
Pick #65. SD - Tyson Tomko
As Smackdown returns, both men are in the ring. However it seems the tide has turned to Edge’s favor. The high risk nature of HBK bit him in the ass with the suicide dive, and now Edge planned on taking full advantage.
Pick #66. Extreme - Axl Rotten
Pick #67. Raw - Danny Basham
Despite the fact that Shawn had been wounded for much of the match, Edge still found it very difficult to put him away. A dropkick from the top couldn't get the job done, so Edge set up for a spear. He nails it, and goes for the pin. 1-2-kick out! Edge decides that one more spear is in order. As he runs towards Michaels, he gets nailed by a superkick that came totally out of nowhere! With the little energy left in HBK's body, he covers Edge. 1-2-KICK OUT!
Pick #68. SD - Shannon Moore
Now it is Shawn who is in total disbelieve. Shawn gets to his feet with the crowd fully behind him. He begins stomping his foot, or "tuning up the band". The fans can feel something big is about to happen. And it does, Edge ducks the Sweet Chin Music attempt, and hits an Edgicution DDT out of nowhere! The air goes out of each fan in the building as Edge makes the pin, 1-2-3!
Winner: Edge
After the match Edge gets down on the mat, screaming at Shawn about it being his time. Edge continues with his taunts as Smackdown goes off the air.
