With No Way Out just two days away, the Superstars of SmackDown looked to gain
momentum heading into the last pay-per-view before WrestleMania 23.
Raw Superstars Edge, Randy Orton, WWE Champion John Cena and Shawn Michaels all
were in Seattle for action on SmackDown. This Sunday, Cena & Michaels will team
up to face Undertaker & Batista in a huge main event.
World Heavyweight Champion Batista & Undertaker teamed up to face Rated-RKO. The
Phenom and The Animal were able to get the victory when Undertaker delivered a
Tombstone to Edge.
After getting the win, Batista and Undertaker were laid out by Cena and HBK,
payback for the attack the SmackDown duo leveled them with on Raw. Heading into
No Way Out, Michaels and Cena seemed to have gotten the best of their opponents
on SmackDown.
Earlier in the night, the World Tag Team Champions Cena & Michaels took on Mr.
Kennedy & MVP - two young stars hoping to rise up the ladder of WWE. MVP and
Kennedy did what they could, but HBK saved his partner from a chair shot,
allowing Cena to FU Montel Vontavious Porter for the victory.
Mr. Kennedy immediately went to General Manager Theodore Long to voice his
displeasures once more. Long was being visited by former SmackDown Superstar and
current ECW World Champion Bobby Lashley, and Kennedy took exception.
When Kennedy pointed out, “I’ve beaten you once before Lashley, and I can do it
again,” Lashley became agitated. His friend General Manager Theodore Long
contacted ECW officials and the match has been made for this Sunday, where Mr.
Kennedy will challenge Bobby Lashley for the ECW World Championship.
Gregory Helms squared off against Scotty 2 Hotty on SmackDown, and as Scotty
looked for the Worm, he was attacked by Daivari. This set off a chain reaction
which saw Daivari, Scotty 2 Hotty, Funaki, Jamie Noble, Shannon Moore, Jimmy
Wang Yang and Chavo Guerrero added to a Cruiserweight Open Match for the
Cruiserweight Championship. Can Gregory Helms continue his history making run as
Cruiserweight Champion?
WWE Tag Team Champion Brian Kendrick was in singles competition against Deuce.
As Kendrick looked to seize momentum, Domino interfered, causing London to come
to the aid of his partner. With the refs back turned, Domino shoved Kendrick off
the top rope and Deuce hit the Crack ‘Em in Da Mouth for the win.
The team of Deuce & Domino will challenge London & Kendrick for the titles this
Sunday, after going above General Manager Theodore Long to get the match made by
WWE officials.
King Booker hosted his review of the movie See No Evil starring his No Way Out
opponent – Kane. Booker and Sharmell shared a laugh at Kane’s expense and then
the King proclaimed, “I do not fear Kane.” When the Big Red Monster appeared,
King Booker and Sharmell ran off, and Kane got the last laugh.
The Boogeyman avenged his first loss last week at the hands of Finlay by
defeating the Irishman. Little Bastard looked to get involved, but Little
Boogeyman appeared and attacked him.
At No Way Out, Boogeyman & Little Boogeyman will face Finlay & Little Bastard in
a Mixed Tag Team Match.
In preparation for the Diva Talent Invitational, Kristal and Jillian tried to
impress SmackDown’s General Manager. Which Divas will participate come this
Sunday at No Way Out?
The lovely Ashley unveiled her Playboy cover, much to the delight of WWE fans.
Finally, next week on SmackDown, Rey Mysterio will make a special appearance in
his hometown of San Diego.
