After last week's trade of Shawn Michaels...Booker T no longer has an opponent set at Summerslam so tonight there will be a #1 Contenders match for the Intercontinental Title pitting two men that hate each other..Charlie Haas vs Shelton Benjamin for the right to face Booker T at Summerslam for the Intercontinental Title!

Tonight there will be two major main event matches as well. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin vs John Cena in one on one competition.

The other major match will be in a World Heavyweight Title Bout. Chris Jericho will defend his title for the first time up against Kurt Angle!

Eddie Guerrero continues to feel The Rock screwed him out of his Championship opportunity and there is no telling what Latino Heat will do to get after The Great One!

Last week as well Raven wound up stealing the Hardcore Title from Abyss via interference from the Big Show...Hopefully this week we can figure out why Big Show would help Raven and what the deal is!

Also this week we will have Paul London and Rey Mysterio taking on The Brethren in an Undisputed Tag Team Title Match!

Abyss vs Big Show

This match is pretty bad all around and it just continues this apparent budding stable as during the match Raven runs down and hits an Evenflow DDT on Abyss onto the Hardcore Title and the referee calls for the DQ as Big Show follows this up with Show Stopper Chokeslam to leave Abyss laying in the ring but how long before Abyss gets his revenge?

Shelton Benjamin vs Charlie Haas

#1 Contendership Match to the Intercontinental Title

This match is very solid in the ring and both men get the reactions they should. It's back and forth action for ten minutes between the two. The ending comes when Shelton goes for the Exploder Slam and Haas elbows out of it and rolls Benjamin up near the ropes and holds the ropes so Benjamin can't kick out and gets the cheap three count. Haas then leaves the ring as his music plays and Benjamin stands in the ring steamed. We take a commercial break as Haas celebrates his big win!

V...ONE!!!

We cut backstage to where Matt Hardy...Version 1.0! Is with "The Coach" and Coach is holding the microphone for Hardy whom has a very simple and quick challenge to issue.

Matt Hardy Version 1.0: I got traded to RAW because I was too much for everyone on Smackdown to handle. So now that I am here on RAW. My Mattitude Followers must have their weekly dose of Mattitude. So next week I intend to challenge...Booker T! Not just to a match but to a match for the Intercontinental Title! I know that Charlie Haas won a #1 Contenders Match tonight but he is not up to par in Mattitudism to the Sensei of Mattitude. I will prove this next week when I take the Intercontinental Title from Booker T!

The challenge is laid down and we'll see if the match gets signed for next week or not!

John Cena vs "Stone Cold" Steve Austin

These two men are very over with the crowd and the heat for the match is what makes it good because the match is only average on the work in it. Austin and Cena play to the crowd throughout this fifteen minute match and through a commercial break. The end comes when the referee is distracted when Cena grabs his knucks and then throws them from the ref so he has to retrieve them and remove them from the ring. So Cena rocks Austin's world with his chain wrapped around his fist! Cena then gets the cover on Austin and steals the three count and the victory. Austin recovers after a moment and looks like he's very pissed off as Cena celebrates to the back as we take another commercial break!

Chris Jericho vs Kurt Angle

World Heavyweight Title Match, Main Event

"Medal" hits and Kurt Angle makes his way out onto the stage and down to the ring, pausing in the middle for his pyro to go off as the crowd chants "You Suck" in between each chord of the music. Then once Angle has made it to the ring "King of My World" Hits and the crowd goes crazy...the biggest pop of the night...the same for Angle whom got the biggest heel pop of the night. Jericho's pyro goes off and a few seconds later he's on the stage in his pose and he swings around with the World Heavyweight Title around his waist. Jericho makes his way down to the ring and he hands the belt off to Hebner and this match goes similar to several matches they've had before. Angle hits his Overhead Belly to Belly suplexes, His German Suplexes. This match has the feel of a potential Title Change as Angle even pulls out his picture perfect moonsault and hits it for a long two count. Jericho hits his Double Underhook Backbreaker as well as the Flashback and the Bulldog. His Lionsault though wasn't enough to get the three count. Jericho went for the Walls of Jericho but Angle reverses it by picking Jericho's Ankle while on his back and takes Jericho down with it but Jericho flips Angle to the ropes and Angle gets up and walks right into the Walls of Jericho and gets turned over. Jericho locks it in and drives his knee into the back of Angle's neck. Angle refuses to tap out for almost a minute in it and finally when Jericho rears back one final time Angle taps out and "King of My World" hits. Jericho falls to the mat exhausted and is handed the World Heavyweight Title. We go off the air with the sight of Jericho laying on the mat exhausted with the World Heavyweight Title in his grasp!

"Wildcat" Chris Harris has also signed his WWE Contract. Expect him to make his debut appearance on WWE TV soon but which brand is unknown.

Big Show and Shelton Benjamin's contracts are coming up soon and are probably the few that will be re-signed.

Other than those things, that's the news and notes from this week and month in wrestling!

Christian has been on a winning streak as of late and tonight he will go one on one with Jamie Noble for his newly won WWE European Championship.

"The Problem Solver" has his own problems to solve this week when he goes one on one with Sean O'Haire to try and solve Christian's problems with him.

He has the European Title around his waist. He comes down to the ring and we have a Title match! These two guys go to town in a very competitive match and Christian looks like he has it won until Sean O'Haire's music hits and Christian immediately stops what he is doing which was going for the Unprettier and walks towards the set side of the ring. O'Haire never comes out and the music turns off but he turns right into a kick to the gut and a Tiger Bomb from Noble for the three count and Jamie Noble retains after a ten minute match to start smackdown and we take a commercial break with Christian flipping out in the ring!

WWE American Title Match

Batista makes his entrance first and this will be his first Smackdown Title Match. He gets to the ring and then...HERE COMES THE PAIN! Lesnar makes his entrance to the ring and then we have a Title Match. Lesnar doesn't dominate this match as he has with others. Batista controls alot of this match but eventully Batista hits his Sit-Out Powerbomb but Lesnar kicks out at two and a half! Batista goes bezerk and can't believe it. He winds up flipping out on the ref and clubs him to the mat and then gives him a Sit-Out Powerbomb. This match is obviously thrown out as Batista walks out seeming very frustrated. The real question is why he didn't keep going instead of flipping out! He walks down the aisle and leaves Lesnar and the ref in the ring as Smackdown ends this week!

Just 6 days from Vengence and it's sure to get heated tonight as RAW will try to overshadow the upcoming Smackdown PPV. Tonight RAW's Fighting Champion, Chris Jericho will defend his Title against Eddie Guerrero in a one on one matchup!

Matt Hardy Version 1.0 challenged the Intercontinental Champion last week and tonight he will get his chance because Booker T has agreed to defend his Intercontinental Title against the Sensei of Mattitude!

A Big question on the mind's of RAW Fans is what will John Cena do tonight to get at Chris Jericho? Will he continue to prepare or continue to try and play mind games and weaken the Champion?

Shelton Benjamin got screwjobbed last week by Charlie Haas whom now has a IC Title shot at Summerslam against Booker T. Tonight Shelton will get to take his frustrations out when he goes one on one with "The Crippler" Chris Benoit!

Go on to a 4 on 4 Match at Survivor Series. The team that wins, then fight each other and the winner of the match. The Sole Survivor becomes the NEW World Heavyweight Champion. John Cena won this match last year and this year stands to be another tremendous Tournament. I will tell everyone to begin paying attention now because the winner of the Summerslam prediction contest will get to pick two of the men that Advance to the War Games Match. Now for the Entrants.

We start RAW off quick tonight with Shelton Benjamin "Ain't No Stoppin Me" theme hitting. Shelton makes his way out onto the stage and comes down to the ring to a nice pop from the crowd.

Shelton Benjamin vs Chris Benoit

Shelton is in the ring when Chris Benoit's theme hits and they boo him heavily as he comes out onto the stage and stalks down to the ring. Benoit gets into the ring and we get a very nice match between these two. Germans all around and then some. Benjamin actully winds up getting one over the veteran as he blocks a German Suplex and spins around. Benoit was going to try for an overhead belly to belly but Shelton Elbowed him twice in the head and then threw his arm over and hits the Exploder Slam out of nowhere..1...2...3! Benjamin is excited at this win but Benoit isn't as excited about his loss and he gets up as quickly as he can and grabs Benjamin and hits a German Suplex..dropping him on his head!!! Benoit taunts Benjamin as he leaves the ring

Jay Lethal vs Kanyon

This is Kanyon's debut on RAW and something surprising happens in this match. It's going back and forth but it looks like Lethal is going to take the win until the Hardcore Champion, Raven makes his way out to the ring and distracts Lethal. Distracts him long enough for Kanyon to get up and when Lethal turns back to focus on Kanyon..he receives a nasty Flatliner and Kanyon gets the pinfall! Kanyon leaves the ring with Raven up the ramp as Lethal is left lying in the ring!

The Rock vs Paul London

Rock is taking on one half of the Undisputed Tag Team Champions tonight. Just for the sake of competition and this match is pretty solid but London and Rock's styles seem to clash more then mesh. Rock does control much of the match until London goes for a London's Calling into a Standing Rock but Charles Robinson stupidly gets in the way and gets crushed. At this point Eddie Guerrero comes running down to the ring and crawls around the ring, trying to remain unseen. He then grabs the ringbell from the timekeeper and crawls to a corner. He peeks up over the apron every few seconds as he sees Rock gaining control over London and finally hits a Spinebuster and goes for the People's Elbow. Eddie crawls to one side of the ring as Rock hits the opposite side. Just as Rock is hitting the other side of the ring...DING!! Eddie Guerrero clobbers Rock in the back of the head with the ringbell. London gets to his feet as Rock has collapsed in the ring. London shrugs and climbs to the top rope and hits the most beautiful London's Calling (Shooting Star Press "The Right Way") and nails it to the Rock. Robinson is recovered enough to make the three count at this point and Paul London has pulled off a remarkable upset of the People's Champ!!! London celebrates with his Tag Title as Guerrero stands up and grins at the fallen People's Champ!

Matt Hardy Version 1.0 vs Booker T

WWE Intercontinental Title Match

Hardy is the first man to the ring as the tron begins playing the loading video and then....OOHHHHH YEAAAAA! Hardy makes his way out to the ring with his Mattitude sign being held high in the air. Hardy's Matt Fact of the night is "Matt Performs Better Live!" Hardy gets into the ring and then Booker T's music hits and he makes his way onto the stage and halfway down to the ring when he does his pose and his pyro goes off. The Intercontinental Title is around his waist. He comes down to the ring and climbs inside and the fans are pretty into this match but Booker drags this match down a bit in workrate. Booker looks like he's in control until he tries for his high leg lariat and misses but cold cocks Earl Hebner with the leg instead. Hardy though can't take advantage as he takes a Spinebuster right after he turns around. But at this point surprisingly the #1 Contender to the IC Title. Charlie Haas makes an appearance down to the ring which distracts Booker T. Haas gets up onto the ring apron and into the ring and begins slugging it out with Booker! Hardy rolls out of the way and stays out of the fight. Haas and Booker slug it out until Haas whips Booker hard into a corner but Booker reverses it and sends Haas in and telegraphs the back body drop out of the corner. Haas takes advantage by delivering a STRAIGHT KNEE RIGHT TO BOOKER'S HEAD!!! This dims the lights on the Champion and Hardy now takes advantage by grabbing Haas and hitting a SUDDEN Twist of Fate which takes him out and he rolls out of the ring.

Hardy then shakes the referee to wake him up and then grabs a limp Booker T and hits a Twist of Fate on him and covers him hooking the leg..1...2.....3!!! Matt Hardy has stolen the Intercontinental Title! J.R is going ballistic up at the announce position

J.R: What a thief Matt Hardy is. Booker T had the match won but Charlie Haas interjected himself. Then Hardy like a rat sneak attacked Haas and then picked the bones on Booker T!

Cornette: J.R it's just Matt taking advantage of the situtation presented to him. He saw a chance to win a Title and he took it. Ya can't blame him for that!

J.R: Your damn right I can!

Hardy's music is playing as he makes his way to the back, holding the Intercontinental Title high in the air in victory!

Kurt Angle vs Nick Dinsmore

This is just a very solid technical match. Dinsmore in the ring can just go and you know what Kurt Angle can do. These men go back and forth and Dinsmore gets his share of offense in, including hitting a couple of the prettiest German Suplexes you will see. The end comes when Austin comes running to the ring and distracts Angle whom then gets dropped on his head with a German Suplex (not literally) and Dinsmore bridges it for a three count that surprises Kurt Angle! Austin climbs into the ring as Angle gets up and delivers a Stone Cold Stunner to the delight of the crowd. Austin does the Beer Celebration as we go to commercial break!

Chris Jericho vs Eddie Guerrero

World Heavyweight Title Match, Main Event

Eddie Guerrero is first out to some pretty big heel heat from the crowd as he makesh is way, sauntering down to the ring. Then once Eddie is in the ring and has played to the crowd enough. "King of My World" hits as Jericho's pyro goes off and the crowd EXPLODES with easily the biggest face pop of the night. He is a Superstar in their eyes among no other! Jericho comes out onto the stage to an even bigger pop and has the World Heavyweight Title around his waist. Jericho makes his way down to the ring and hands the Title off to Hebner whom holds it high in the air. The crowd is the hottest it's been tonight for this match and neither man dissappoints. They go at it for the better part of fifteen minutes back and forth. Starting off early with some chain wrestling but Guerrero makes it degenerate into an all out brawl between the two. Eddie hits some innovative Reversals such as dropping the Flashback into a Stunner on Jericho to get a long two count as well as ducking the Springboard Dropkick and hitting a Halo over the top rope onto Jericho after hitting the mat. Jericho though reverses the Three Amigos into the Walls of the Jericho late in the match. Eddie pulls Jericho into a small package for a VERY LONG Two count. Eddie nearly won the Title on a Small Package! Eddie gets up as does Jericho. Eddie goes for a clothesline but Jericho ducks it and grabs both of Guerrero's legs and takes him down, then steps over and locks in the Walls of Jericho on Guerrero! Guerrero tries to get out but after a little over a minute...Guerrero is forced to tap out! "King of My World" hits and Jericho is handed his World Heavyweight Title and he stands tall as RAW goes off the air tonight! What a great match!

3 Days away from Smackdown's PPV this month, Vengence and we have the buildup coming to a climax tonight! With Triple H and Rhyno's matchup just days away. They will each take a tag partner into Tag Team Action with them tonight. It will be Triple H and Ken Shamrock vs Rhyno and "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels!

The same goes for Christian and Sean O'Haire whose final encounter with No Rules is this Sunday and they will have their tune up matches for that tonight!

Christian will take on the Hurricane!

Sean O'Haire will take on Kid Kash!

Both men are sure to be getting taken to their limits (Sarcasm)

Batista was not able to defeat Brock Lesnar last week but they have a re-match scheduled for Vengence. Will the two collide tonight or will we have to wait for the Pay Per View?

Christopher Daniels wants revenge and his Title back. Tonight he will take on Asai to tune up while Tajiri has the night off!

Jamie Noble on the other hand has no such luck as he will have to take on fan favorite Spanky tonight with his European Title on the line!

Sure to explode tonight as well is the feud involving Kane, Randy Orton and Matt Stryker. These three men want to move up the ladder or in the case of Orton..back to where he was. They will be in the house tonight and fireworks are sure to go off!

All these things are just warmups for the main event tonight. It will be Rob Van Dam vs Edge in another non-title Altercation to setup for this Sunday. Can RVD do it again tonight and this Sunday or is Edge getting the upper hand? We will find out tonight!

WWE Smackdown

July 8, 2004

We get started quick with Smackdown this week because there are alot of matches to get to on tonight's show and if we have too many interruptions or other things going on...they won't get the time they need. So we get right into the first match with Hurricane's music hitting as Smackdown comes on the air tonight minus an intro video!

Christian vs Hurricane

Hurricane makes his way down to the ring and then "Close Your Eyes" hits and Captain Charisma in his awesomeness of an outfit makes his way out from the back with his "Problem Solver" Gene Snitsky, following behind him. Christian makes his way down to the ring and climbs inside of the ring after getting his ring entrance outfit off and the match begins. It goes back and forth and is a very solid in-ring match which ends when Christian gets the best of Hurricane with the Unprettier and gets the three count on Hurricane! After the match Snitsky and Christian administer a post-match beatdown on poor Hurricane to send a message to O'Haire!

Sean O'Haire vs Kid Kash

O'Haire takes it to Kash in this match and wins in short order with the Prophecy to try and send a message back to Captain Charisma for this Sunday but Christian counters by sending Snitsky out with a steel chair which winds up connecting with O'Haire's skull and splitting him open like a melon, leaving O'Haire lying on the mat with a bloody face as Snitsky stands over him, taunting and talking trash at him as we go to commercial break!

Going to commercial break we see a video package of the issues between Christian "Captain Charisma" and Sean "The Prophecy" O'Haire. All their matches and all the suffering they've put each other through will come to a head this Sunday at Vengence!

Overall Rating: 88%

Asai vs Christopher Daniels

Non-Title Match

Asai gives Daniels a run for his money in this match but in a preview at least for Sunday in the eyes of Daniels. He takes it to Asai and nails the Angel Wings on Asai twice before pinning him and then seems to make a motion around his waist to signify that the belt is staying with him this sunday so it will be interesting to watch if he can back that up against Tajiri one on one!

Lesnar is backstage in street clothes, he is seen coming out of the office of Smackdown GM, Shane McMahon but before he can get more than five steps, Batista attacks him. He smashes Lesnar into the nearest wall and then bounces Lesnar's skull off the GM's door and leaves him laying on the floor with his American Title around his waist and Batista tells Lesnar that on Sunday that belt will be coming with him!

Overall Rating: 80%

Jamie Noble vs Spanky

WWE European Title Match

Spanky makes his way down to the ring and after he's in the ring. Noble's music hits and he comes walking out from the back with the European Title around his waist. Noble and Spanky have a very solid match though tonight it's not nearly the strongest match but the crowd was into it and that helps it as well. The end comes when Spanky tries for the Sliced Bread #2. but Noble pushes him off and he lands on his feet behind Noble. Noble turns and kicks him in the gut and hits the Tiger-Bomb for the three count on Spanky to retain. After the match though AJ Styles makes his presence felt with a Styles Clash on Noble after hitting a low blow on him from behind after attacking through the crowd! Styles takes the European Title and stands over Noble, with his boot on Noble's chest.

Batista vs Matt Stryker

Batista is controlling the early going but late in the match it looked like Matt Stryker might pull out a win against the monster until Randy Orton's music hits and it distracts Stryker long enough to get clobbered from behind with a knockout clothesline and then a pinfall. Orton then makes his way out to the ring and both Batista and Orton begin to beat on Matt Stryker until pyro explodes near the set and Kane makes his way out from the back. Orton clears out of the ring but Batista welcomes the challenge and gets knocked from the ring by Kane. We go to our final commercial break with Kane's pyro from the ringposts.

This video package is of the Edge/RVD feud which doesn't seem to be over with the crowd because they don't react how everyone upstairs would hope they would.

HHH/Shamrock vs Rhyno/HBK

This is your classic Heel vs Face tag team match and we start out with it being very even but later on into the match. HHH and Shamrock are working HBK over until HBK hits a desperation Sweet Chin Music on Shamrock. Both men crawl to their respective corners and HBK makes a hot tag to Rhyno whom clears house and then hits a sudden GORE on HHH and covers him..1...2....3!!! Rhyno and HBK don't get the chance to celebrate as Shamrock clotheslines HBK to the outside and then he attacks Rhyno long enough to let HHH recover and get to his feet. Rhyno throws Shamrock from the ring and turns right back into a PEDIGREE! HHH leaves Rhyno laying in the ring as a reminder for this Sunday when they will meet!

Edge vs Rob Van Dam

Non-Title Match

Not going to give away too much in this match since they will be fighting for the Title in three days. RVD controls a bulk of the match but late in the match. RVD goes for a Northern Lights Suplex and Edge blocks it with elbows and then catches RVD in an Edgocution DDT to gain the pinfall over the #1 Contender! Edge then stands over RVD with the WWE title held high in the air as we fade out from Smackdown...Will Edge manage to hold onto that title? We will find out this Sunday!
