JBL going to SummerSlam
July 28, 2005

Randy Orton has yet to have an official match since coming to SmackDown! from RAW during the 2005 WWE Draft Lottery.

But the Legend Killer has already influenced SmackDown!’s main event at SummerSlam.

Orton cost Undertaker an apparent victory against JBL Thursday, swooping in with a devastating RKO before dragging a nearly lifeless JBL over Undertaker’s prone body for the three-count. WATCH

JBL’s win earned him a chance to face Batista for the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam August 21. General Manager Theodore Long made the important stipulation after JBL revealed his contract called for a rematch after he defeated Batista, albeit by disqualification, at The Great American Bash.

Meanwhile, Eddie Guerrero went back on his word and revealed the secret he has tormented Rey Mysterio with the past few weeks. Guerrero told Mysterio’s son Dominick that Uncle Eddie is actually his father.

After a shaken Dominick ran out of the ring and through the crowd as Mysterio chased him, Latino Heat sat down and read a disturbing bedtime story, explaining the details. WATCH

According to Guerrero, years ago while he was living a little wild, he got a woman pregnant. Since she already had seven children, and knowing Mysterio was having trouble starting his own family, he took Dominick and left him with Rey and his wife to raise.

Guerrero also promised to read Chapter 2 of this most disturbing bedtime story next week.

Also, Chris Benoit and Booker T defeated Orlando Jordan and Christian in tag team action. Benoit won the match when he forced Orlando Jordan, who was still nursing a sore shoulder from The Great American Bash, to tap out to the Crippler Crossface.

Surprisingly, Christian didn’t make the save when he had the chance moments before the submission. WATCH

Melina, using the ropes for leverage, defeated Torrie Wilson. Melina and MNM also announced they hired a publicist and personal fixer to help them since losing the WWE Tag Team Championship at The Great American Bash.

Jillian turned out to be a beautiful blonde with a very distracting growth on her face.

The new WWE Tag Team Champions Heidenreich & Road Warrior Animal won their match on SmackDown! Before the match, Heidenreich shaved his head, giving him the Legion of Doom trademark Mohawk look.
