SmackDown! Recap: Five Team Over The Top Rope Battle Royal

Elimination #3: With Kidman struggling to eliminate Matt Morgan, Paul London was fighting off both Jeff Hardy and Shannon Moore-- but as London ran at Hardy, Hardy nailed a kick to his gut, before he and Shannon sent him flying over the top rope, eliminating him and Kidman. After the elimination, Kidman couldn't believe it as he stormed up the ramp-- past his partner.

Moments after London was eliminated, Travis Morgan was struggling to eliminate Shannon Moore while Matt was dazed after a Twist Of Fate. Hardy then climbed up to the top rope-- before jumping off and dropkicking Travis Morgan, causing him AND Shannon Moore to go flying over the top rope! With the referee's discussing who went over first, Jindrak and Cade came running down the ramp and into the ring as they quickly pounced on Jeff Hardy! After delivering The End to Jeff Hardy, Jindrak and Cade focussed their attention towards Matt Morgan-- giving the massive Morgan The End as well!

With Jindrak and Cade celebrating in the ring, and the fans confused as in who won the battle royal, General Manager Paul Heyman's music plays as he makes his way onto the stage with a microphone in hand.

Paul Heyman: "Excuse me if you will. But from what I saw in the backstage, BOTH Shannon Moore and Travis Morgan's feet hit the ground at the same time, so there will be NO controversy on who landed first. At Judgment Day, Jindrak and Cade WILL defend their titles... against Jeff Hardy and Shannon Moore!"

With the crowd cheering, Paul Heyman quickly smirks as he shakes his head no.

Paul Heyman: "Oh no, that's not it. It will be a triple threat tag team title match, featuring Travis and Matt Morgan!"

The crowd still cheers as Jindrak & Cade stand in the ring in shock, as they can't believe what they are in for.

SmackDown! Recap: A Judgment Day Challenge

After the commercial break, Kurt Angle makes his way down the ramp with his music already playing. The 'You Suck' chant fills throughout the arena as Kurt Angle doesn't have a smile on his face. As Kurt enters the ring, he is handed a microphone as he begins to speak.

Kurt Angle: "Last week... last week, I didn't lose. I didn't lose because Booker T cheated and the referee fell into his trap. Booker T was NOT the legal man and should NOT be credited for that pinfall against me, because I did NOT lose."

Booker T's music then starts up as Booker T comes out in his street clothes, and a microphone in hand.

Booker T: "Kurt, last week, whether I was the legal man or not. I pinned you. I pinned you in the middle of that ring, one...two...three!"

The crowd then cheers as Kurt shakes his head no.

Booker T: "It's official that I pinned you last week, fair and square-- and you didn't... or couldn't kick out."

With the crowd behind Booker T, Kurt Angle stares at him, with a blank stare.

Kurt Angle: "First of all, I didn't have to kick out because you weren't the legal man. Secondly, I'm sick of all your lying and all of your cheating ways, Booker. So at Judgment Day... I have a challenge for you. A WRESTLING match. But Booker, if you need some help learning how to wrestle... just don't bother showing up."

The crowd then boo's as Booker T puts a smirk on his face.

Booker T: "Oh, I'll be at Judgment Day... not can you dig THAT? Sucka!"

Booker T's music then plays as the crowd cheers behind him, while he and Kurt Angle have a quick stare.

[D-Extreme]

SmackDown! was a nice show. The Billy Kidman heel turn was a bit, ok, but I'm not sure wheter it was a good move or a bad move. So I'll just see what happens with him and Rey after the PPV to find out. I cant wait to see J-Day!

3-Way match for the tag titles sound nice. Funaki vs The Rock? Now thats what I call one hell of a match, even though Rock beat poor sho fu to a pulp.
