EMOTIONAL OVERLOAD

On SmackDown!, it was announced that the mother of WWE Champion Eddie Guerrero – who suffered a mild heart attack during an altercation with John Bradshaw Layfield at a SmackDown! Live Event only four days earlier – was home from the hospital in guarded condition, but the good news concerning his mother did not alleviate the pain Guerrero is suffering.

When JBL accused the Guerrero family matriarch of faking the heart attack as part of the “lying, cheating and stealing” that Eddie is renowned for, the WWE Champion lost his temper and took his anger out on everybody he could find. Seconds after Rob Van Dam & Rey Mysterio defeated the Dudley Boyz, there was mass chaos in the ring. With a crazed look on his face, Guerrero showed the world exactly how angry he was. He flattened both Dudleys, two referees and close friend RVD with a chair, and clearly was willing to do the same to anybody else who crossed his path.

Fortunately for JBL, the No. 1 Contender was in New York and Guerrero will have to wait another day to exact his revenge. That day could be next week in Reno, Nevada when JBL promised he would return. On the final SmackDown! before their clash at Judgment Day, will Guerrero be able to contain his emotions, or is an early altercation with JBL imminent? Find out next week.

Also on SmackDown!, if the week’s events were not bad enough for the Guerrero family already, Chavo Guerrero had a terrible evening as well. One week after challenging any cruiserweight he has never faced before, Guerrero received his match against an unlikely opponent. WWE Diva Jacqueline returned to the ring, and despite the mocking of both Chavo Guerrero and Chavo Classic, Jacqueline scored the stunning upset to win the Cruiserweight Championship in what can be considered the upset of the year. How will this affect the usually cocky Guerrero? Stay tuned to find out.

SmackDown! also featured a very special appearance by the Undertaker, who saw his first action since WrestleMania, at the order of Mr. Angle. Not only did ‘Taker have a match, but it was a Handicap Match against the FBI. If ‘Taker’s Handicap Match is a sign of things to come, Booker T could be in for a rough evening at Judgment Day as the Dead Man simply decimated the FBI, giving Nunzio a Last Ride and Johnny Stamboli a Tombstone Piledriver. Booker T spent SmackDown! looking for any edge he could gain over the Undertaker for their upcoming match. Can he find it next week? Watch SmackDown! to find out.

Speaking of Judgment Day, Rene Dupree has been the butt of many John Cena jokes leading up to their match for the United States Championship at the pay-per-view. But on SmackDown!, Dupree proved that he is no longer in a laughing mood. After Cena came to the ring to defend Torrie Wilson, Dupree unleashed one of the most savage beatings Cena has ever suffered – a beating that included Cena being crashed through the announce table. Will Cena be able to recover in time for Judgment Day?

The final SmackDown! before Judgment Day comes to you next week from Reno, Nevada next week at 8/7 PM CT on UPN.
