Smackdown!

Colorado Springs, Colorado

A furious Undertaker took the fight to Brock Lesnar and matters heated up big-time between Eric Bischoff and Stephanie McMahon on an unbelievable edition of SmackDown! from Colorado Springs, Colorado!

With his pregnant wife Sara recently released from the hospital after going through false labor, a furious Undertaker was out for revenge against the man who put his hands on her last week, the WWE Champion Brock Lesnar. Eager to protect his man, Paul Heyman hired an entire security detail to protect the champion backstage from any Undertaker sneak attacks.

Following Brock's easy win in a non-title match over John Cena, Heyman was on the lookout for the 'Taker, who had just arrived at the arena. But Lesnar's pride overcame him, and when Undertaker called him out to the ring, Brock obliged. When the ensuing brawl got too heated, a distraction from Matt Hardy (who jumped 'Taker from behind) allowed Lesnar to make a hasty retreat, flanked by his security guards. Frustrated, Undertaker knew he'd have to wait until Sunday to take out his aggression against Lesnar at Unforgiven.

In a live debate via sattelite feed, Raw General Manager Eric Bischoff taunted SmackDown! General Manager Stephanie McMahon over the stipulations for Unforgiven's upcoming matchup of Billy & Chuck vs. Jamal & Rosie which state that if Billy & Chuck lose, Stephanie will have to engage in "hot lesbian action". To the amazement of Bischoff and the live crowd, Stephanie declared that should Billy & Chuck be defeated, she might actually enjoy a little HLA!

Earlier in the night, Billy & Chuck had declared to Stephanie and the fans that they weren't sure whether they would remain a tag team or go their separate ways following their match at Unforgiven. Only time will tell on that one.

In other action, Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit--who will oppose each other at Unforgiven--were forced to team up against Billy & Chuck after Angle ridiculed the duo's publicity stunt that took place last week. Miscommunication between Angle & Benoit caused them to lose the match, leading to an impromptu battle of submission holds after the bell. The conflict of Anklelock vs. Crippler Crossface will be settled this Sunday.

Eddie Guerrero enjoyed a little payback from Edge following the tag team match they were both involved in. After Eddie & Chavo beat Edge & Rikishi due to some highly questionable tactics, Edge went after Chavo, only to be blindsided by a chair-wielding Eddie. As Edge gushed blood from his wounded head, Eddie gloated over him in triumph, confident that the result would be the same when the two meet at Unforgiven.
