[flashback to the SmackDown Special begins]

COLE: WELCOME TO DAYTON, OHIO, TWO DAYS REMOVED FROM THE ROYAL RUMBLE, AND
WELCOME, TO THE SMACKDOWN SPECIAL...they immediately exercised their
rematch clause, Yuna and Rikku, two thirds of YRP, will go one on one with the
team that beat them for the Tag Team Titles last Sunday at the Rumble, MNM.

... CHIMEL: The following contest, scheduled for one fall, is for the CWE Tag
Team Championships.

...RIKKU: I don’t want to go out there...

... COLE: ...Rikku...never even got into the ring, she's telling Yuna to start
off, seeming like she never even wanted to get into the ring for the pre match
ritual.

...RIKKU: I cost us those titles, {flashback in the montague of all the times
described} I made you lose that Asian title, I screwed up protecting Paine just
now {shots of Mark Henry assaulting Paine in the backstage before the match this
past Tuesday}, I screwed up my own matches. Maybe I was just meant to be a screw
up... {back to the SmackDown Special flashback}

...COLE: Yuna, from the ropes---OH MY GOD!! A SUICIDE DIVE OVER THE TOP ROPE,
TOOK OUT ALL THREE MEMBERS OF MNM, MELINA BEING CAUGHT IN THE FIRE!!

TAZZ: I think Yuna's shoulder might've came down on the steel barricade or
something like that, Cole...

... YUNA: Rikku, don’t say that. MNM are a good team, I give them that, I
expected them to pull some dirty tricks {shots of MNM driving her shoulder into
the ring post}...

... RIKKU: I know, Yunie, but still. This may be our last chance to get any
title. I don’t want to screw things up this time...

...COLE: Yuna, with a standing drop kick on Mercury, Nitro is down from the DDT,
and Yuna, going to make the--!

When she goes for the tag, though, Rikku REFUSES to tag into the match. {video
goes into slow motion here}

COLE:--Wait a minute!

TAZZ: Aw, c'mon!

...YUNA: [heard loud and clear without any microphones] RIKKU, NOT NOW!! DON'T
DO THIS TO ME NOW!!

RIKKU: [sombering] I'm sorry, Yunie. I don't want to cost you anything else. I
don't want to make another mistake.

COLE:...YOU'RE MAKING A MISTAKE BY NOT TAGGING INTO THE DAMN MATCH,
RIKKU!!...And Nitro...ATOMIC DROP---AND THEN ONE HELL OF A CLOTHESLINE TO YUNA!!

...TAZZ: C'mon, Rikku, like it or not, this is your cousin, your team member,
your family. Make the TAG!...she’s your partner, she’s your FAMILY!!

COLE: ...this has now become a handicap match,... And Yuna is in trouble,
because MNM has just singled for the snapshot, Rikku need to do SOMETHING and
NOW!!

TAZZ: Here we go, Cole.

COLE: Mercury is in, and Yuna is up, this is gonna--BUT YUNA ESCAPED FROM THE
SNAPSHOT, BACK DOOR, AND NOW MERCURY, CLOTHESLINE, SHE'S STILL TO THE FAR SIDE,
ON HER FEET, OFF THE TOP ROPE----THE BACKWARDS HURRICURANNA, THE SUMMONERS
WISH!!... she cannot follow up, her shoulder is out of it, but so is Mercury,
so is Nitro, Melina is in a frenzy on the outside, trying to wield her team on,
Yuna needs to make a cover.

TAZZ: Or a tag, Cole,

COLE: I JUST HEARD RIKKU SAY SHE WANTS IN!!

TAZZ: ALL RIGHT, AND SHE'S REACHING TO YUNA, CALLING FOR HER TO MAKE THE TAG,
ALL RIGHT!!

...COLE:...AND THE TAG IS MADE, RIKKU IS IN, AND SHE'S ALL FIRED UP,

...TAZZ: She's on fire, here, Cole!...Mercury is back up, though, MNM refuse to
give up!

...COLE:...Mercury, back in, trying to punch, blocked, Rikku, kick to the
midsection, far side---BUT MELINA, THAT DAMN MELINA, PULLED THE ROPE DOWN ON
RIKKU!!

TAZZ: I think I saw a tag made to Yuna, though.

...COLE: Yuna, having to fight both MNM members at once now, I think the ref has
lost some control of this match, Rikku is being restrained by Melina
here...Nitro and Mercury, trying the Snapshot once again after Yuna was caught--
backdoor again! Yuna, DROP KICK INTO THE BACK OF MERCURY, SENT HIM INTO NITRO--
AND BOTH OF THEM SQUASHED REFEREE NICK PATRICK INTO THE CORNER, REFEREE IS
KNOCKED OUT COLD!!...And now Rikku has gotten Melina off of her, and getting
back into the ring--OR MAYBE NOT, NITRO DROPKICKED HER, AND SHE WENT INTO THE
STEEL BARRICADE!!

COLE: Yuna, going to the ropes again, TRYING FOR THE CLOTHESLINE AGAIN,
SUMMONERS WISH COMING UP---BUT MELINA, WITH A STEEL CHAIR, DAMN IT!!

TAZZ: ONTO THE LEGS OF YUNA, BROUGHT HER BACK DOWN...Mercury and Nitro, setting
her up, third time's a charm {Shot of Melina sliding the steel chair into the
ring}!

COLE: --AND THE SNAPSHOT ON THE STEEL CHAIR!! AND MELINA, GETTING THE REFEREE
BACK UP, MERCURY INTO THE COVER, NO!!...NOT THIS WAY!! [two]

THREE!!

COLE: DAMN IT!!

...CHIMEL: Your winners of the match, and STILL, CWE Tag Team Champions, M, N,
M!! [crowd boos]

...TAZZ: Nothing to be ashamed about, Rikku and Yuna, put on a hell of a match
right there.

COLE: Well, Yuna saying she doesn't blame Rikku,...

...A few moments after Rikku helps Yuna back onto her feet, then glares towards
the entranceway with a few choice words, she turns around---AND CLOTHESLINES
YUNA BACK TO THE CANVAS HARD AS SHE LETS GO!! {the video goes into a black and
white half blurred edged mode when the clothesline is hit}

COLE: WAIT A MINUTE!!

TAZZ: WHAT THE HELL?!!

COLE: WHAT THE HELL WAS -THAT- FOR?!! RIKKU JUST CLOTHESLINED YUNA BACK ONTO THE
CANVAS, HER SHOLDER GOT ALL OF THAT HIT!!

... TAZZ:...What are you thinking, Rikku?!

COLE: I don't know, but Rikku's coming out here and getting that steel
chair!...THIS IS YOUR FAMILY, RIKKU, PUT THE DAMN CHAIR DOWN!!

TAZZ: I DON'T THINK SHE IS LISTENING RIGHT NOW, I DON'T KNOW WHAT SHE'S
THINKING!!

Yuna turns around---ONLY FOR RIKKU TO HIT HER VIOLENTLY HARD WITH THE STEEL
CHAIR, AND BACK DOWN SHE GOES, CHAIR SHOT ECHOING LOUDLY THROUGHOUT THE ARENA!!

COLE: That chair shot was deafening...Yuna may be out cold.

TAZZ:...{one shot from the camera on her face...shows Yuna busted open severely,
blood pouring down her face}, oh my God, she's busted open...Yuna is still
trying to fight to get up here, Cole.

COLE:...I don't think she knows where she is AT, now!

...As soon as Yuna gets back to her feet, using the ropes and staggering to the
center of the ring, Rikku runs and does a flipping neckbreaker, faster than
anyone you will ever see, slamming Yuna's head back first onto the steel chair
lying there

TAZZ: FIREBIRD, COLE!!

COLE: FOR -WHAT-?!

TAZZ: ...Yuna fell to the outside of the ring here, oh my God, Cole, look at the
amount of blood that she is losing, WE NEED SOME MEDICAL HELP OUT HERE
FAST!!...look at the amount of blood on the mats outside the ring, she laid her
head down on those stairs.

Rikku suddenly looks over at Yuna, and comes up near where her head is, standing
on the other side of where Yuna's body has fallen limp, her head laying on the
steel of the steps, her neck off of the steel...Rikku then starts to motion the
chair above her head.

COLE: Oh my God!

...TAZZ: SOMEONE NEEDS TO GET OUT HERE AND NOW!! SHE'S LOST HER MIND!! ONE SMACK
OF THAT STEEL CHAIR WITH YUNA'S HEAD WHERE IT'S AT--OH MY GOD!!

COLE: NO!!

TAZZ: MY GOD, NO, RIKKU!!

COLE: NO!!!!!!!

TAZZ: RIKKU, DON'T DO IT!!!!

COLE: NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rikku, however, SMASHES THE STEEL CHAIR HER HARDEST ONTO THE BACK OF YUNA'S
HEAD, THEREBY SMASHING HER HEAD AGAINST THE STEEL OF THE STAIRS IN THE PROCESS!!
{the hit played several times in succession} The crowd groans in shock of the
severeness of a "sick bump"...Yuna rolling off the steel and onto the floor on
her back outside the ring near the asileway and not moving...Rikku then slams
the chair down at her feet on the outside and just looks at Yuna with a blank
expression.

COLE: RIKKU MAY HAVE CRUSHED YUNA'S SKULL!!

TAZZ: That was VERY dangerous, this is her family she may have caused permanent
injuries to, Cole!...

...Rikku then is show taking the blood on her hand which obviously came from the
could-be lethal laceration she caused on Yuna and rubs it on her chest,
streaking it up above her breasts,...

TAZZ: Rikku is proud of this?...

...YUNA: {being echoed in the background as they show the medical staff carting
her off in a stretcher from the Special}...You’re my family, you’re always gonna
be first to me, before any strap, before anything else. I love you, Rikku...

[end SD special recap]

Switch to live action, with no opening intro, cameraman coming from near the
ringside of the asileway, camera coming with him, to the steel stairs nearest
the ring as Michael Cole begins.

COLE: And ladies and gentlemen, we want to show you what had happened as a
result of that disgusting, uncharacteristic, sadistic assault on Yuna by Rikku
has done also to the ring equipment, the steel steps, are still stained by that
blood, in a bad way, our event crew wasn’t able to get that blood out of those
steps yet. [the camera does a close up onto the stairs in question, the top of
the steps having a deep red on it]

TAZZ: That crew, awesome work they do each and every night to get us ready for
SmackDown, but try it as they might, there was no way they were getting that
blood out from those steps, which are usually easy to clean.

COLE: In a way I’m glad it hasn’t come out, because that shows not only the
physical aspect of the attack last Tuesday night, but also the emotional aspect.

BG: ///HEY//HEY//HEY/NOTHING YOU CAN SAY/NOTHING’S GONNA CHANGE WHAT YOU HAVE
DONE TO ME/NOW IT’S TIME TO SHINE/I’M GONNA TAKE WHAT’S MINE/TAKE WHAT’S
MINE/HEY/NOTHING YOU CAN SAY/NOTHING’S GONNA CHANGE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO ME/NOW
IT’S TIME TO SHINE/I’M GONNA TAKE WHAT’S MINE//YOU’RE GONNA BURN IN MY LIGHT

Randy Orton comes out with a cheerleading father, Cowboy Bob Orton.

CHIMEL: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, PLEASE WELCOME, THE LEGEND KILLER, RANDY ORTON!!

COLE: Welcome to SmackDown, Michael Cole and Tazz at ringside from Reading,
Pennsylvania [the venue/SAP graphics appear for a few moments], and the other
development that happened last Tuesday was that the man coming out right now,
Randy Orton, will be facing Sango in three weeks at No Way Out for the South
East Asian title, he became the number one contender after winning a very well
fought out Fatal Four Way match, at the SmackDown Special.

TAZZ: Watch how this happens [transition into the flashback of the SmackDown
Special], Randy Orton, took advantage of a very hectic situation, just leveled
Kikyo with that RKO, no getting up from that.

COLE: But remember, Shego had gotten Kikyo’s attention with that steel chair,
Shego took out Matt Hardy with it, referee couldn’t do anything about it, nor
did he even SEE it.

Back to live action.

TAZZ: Well, bottom line is that that man, Randy Orton, is the SEA number one
contender.

COLE: And you just saw Orton, look down at that step that he was walking up as
he was getting into that ring, that blood-soaked steel step, almost walking over
it the best he could, I don’t think anyone will want to get onto that one
tonight.

TAZZ: And you are right, Cole, that evidence of that assault on Yuna will be
seen by everyone all night whether we want to see it or not.

COLE: Randy Orton saw it, but he also sees a title shot in his future at No Way
Out.

TAZZ: Of course, Bob Orton, Cowboy Bob Orton, WWE Hall Of Famer, always riding
shotgun with Randy, playing that cheerleader.

COLE: He was playing that during the SmackDown Special this Tuesday.

The music stops, and then, Orton gets ready to speak.

ORTON: Before I say anything, regarding my win, and my soon to be win at No Way
Out, to become the youngest South East Asian Champion in SmackDown’s history, I
just want to comment, about that one giant step I had to take over a bloody
step. You know, now that I think about it, that blood could be Sango’s come No
Way Out, when I beat her senseless, and I win that SEA Championship. [crowd
boos] You know, it’s a shame that no one has realized it yet. It’s a real shame
that no one has realized that I am the true player on SmackDown, I was the
youngest WWE World Heavyweight Champion, I am the legend killer, I am Randy
Orton, second generation superstar. I deserve this spot. I went through three
other people, all wanting a spot, and I beat every single one of them. [crowd
boos again]

COLE: [laughing] WHAT?! He only pinned one, it was a Fatal Four Way.

ORTON: Now some may say it’s luck. Some may say that I didn’t truly win this

title shot. Hell, some are even going so far as saying that I don’t deserve this
title match I’ve got at No Way Out. But the fact of the matter is, that it’s my
destiny. It’s my destiny, because I have what it takes, I’ve proven time after
time, week after week, month after month. I am, the only person capable enough,
to take that SEA Championship, raise it high, and give it true meaning. To give
it the creditability that only the Legend Killer can give it. Give it--!

SALIVA <BG>: RAISE UP/EVERYBODY RAISE UUUUUP

COLE: WAIT A MINUTE!!

TAZZ: That’s Kikyo’s music, and there she is, what the hell does she have to do
with this?

COLE: Well, think about it, Tazz. Orton just said he was the only person that
could give the SEA Title creditability, but remember who held that title the
longest.

KIKYO: [with mic near the SmackDown dome entranceway] Hey, Orton, before you go
around, preaching about how much you deserve to win that title, before you tell
us all about how you’ll give meaning back to the South East Asian title, let me
remind you of who it was that held that SEA title for about nine MONTHS. Let me
remind you who it was that BLED, to the point where she had to pass out, to keep
that title. Let me remind you, also, of who you had to blindside, to beat in
order to GET that title shot, that you say, is destined. Of course, Randy, the
answer is really simple. You’re LOOKING AT HER!! [crowd cheers]

ORTON: Is that so, Kikyo? Should I remind you who DID pin you to the mat, one,
two, three. And yeah, it’s no secret, I picked my spots, everyone saw that you
got the hell beat out of you, and I took you, down for the three count. It shows
that I take my opportunities. I take what I want, and I want the SEA
Championship. And I will take it at No Way Out. But I’m puzzled as to why you
would even show your face, you get your ass handed to you last Tuesday. Why
would you even show your pitiful face here? Oh wait, I got it. You want another
shot for the SEA Championship, a championship in which I will receive. Well, you
won’t GET IT!! I won’t give you another chance. But I will let you have some
fun. My father, Cowboy Bob Orton, a legend, the only legend good enough to be
called the father of the Legend Killer, will give you some entertainment
tonight.

Camera is on Bob Orton, who is somewhat shocked that Randy would consider such
an offer.

KIKYO: You want it, YOU GOT IT, ORTON!! [crowd cheers] But, Randy, when I win
that match, I want YOU, IN THAT RING!! And I want, a true chance, to get my SEA
Title BACK!! Randy, I’m one legend, that IMMORTAL!! [crowd cheers as her music
plays]

COLE: Oh my God, tonight, on SmackDown, Kikyo and Cowboy Bob Orton?

TAZZ: But Randy just made that, and I don’t think Bob Orton was ready for that
match to be made.

COLE: I don’t Bob WANTS to face Kikyo. But like it or not, the match is made,
tonight. Well ladies and gentlemen, last Sunday at the Royal Rumble, like it or
not, chaos ensued that left us with a new World Heavyweight Champion. It was
Koga versus Inuyasha, Kagome was the special guest referee, and [flashback to
the Rumble begins after transition] Tazz, near the end of the match, Kagome,
didn’t know what to do anymore.

TAZZ: Koga was bloodied up, Inuyasha was going for the steel chair, and Kagome
stopped him, remember Kagome was chosen by Theodore Long to see once and for all
where her friendship went to. Kagome grabbed the steel chair, but then Inuyasha,
said that she knew what she must do, and Kagome was hesitant, as if she didn’t
want to do it, but she smacked Koga with the steel chair, I don’t know if she
wanted to or not, but then Inuyasha, with the cover, and nearly ORDERED for
Kagome to count one two three on Koga, who was a resilient champion, and there
you have the NEW World Heavyweight Champion.

COLE: And afterwards, Inuyasha drug Kagome with him, as if she was being FORCED,
by the arm, and I don’t know about you, Tazz, but I think Inuyasha owes everyone
an explanation as to what this was about, but again, Inuyasha, the new World
Heavyweight Champion, we do understand that both of them are here, Inuyasha and
Kagome are, that is. [back to live action, and then they go to the transitions
to the match card graphics, SmackDown theme in the background] But ladies and
gentlemen, tonight, the winner of the Royal Rumble, Marlene Angel, will be in
action tonight, and she is already riding high after an amazing Royal Rumble
win, will she continue her role on the path to the main event at Wrestlemania?

TAZZ: She has been on a huge role, I think she is very deserving of that shot,
but can she get it done tonight.

COLE: And also tonight, you saw those steps earlier, we do understand that the
woman that committed that heinous assault on Yuna, her own damn family, will be
here later tonight. Rikku is going to be here, and she is going to hopefully
provide an explanation, tonight. And that will lead to our main event, Tuxedo
Mask later on after losing that SEA Title to Sango at the Royal Rumble, cost
Chris Benoit a main event shot at Wrestlemania. Tonight, it’ll be Tuxedo Mask
vs. Chris Benoit, and the winner, gets a World Heavyweight Title shot at No Way
Out, they will settle the score, but coming up next, another big story out of
the fiasco that was the main event on the SmackDown Special, was that MNM
retained their tag titles. They will be in action, a non title match on the way
for them, NEXT, on SmackDown!

They go to a two minute commercial break, then come back to the show.

MNM’s music comes on, and out they come to the red carpet and the paparazzi.

CHIMEL: The following non-title contest is scheduled for one fall. Making their
way to the ring, being accompanied by Melina, they weigh in at a combined 637
pounds, they are the tag team champions, Joey Mercury and Johnny Nitro, M. N.
M.!! [their titantron SmackDown graphic comes up on the bottom of the TV screen
as the crowd boos MNM]

COLE: MNM going to face a very hungry team of the FGJ, the Full Grown Jezebels
in a non title matchup, in which I think was a cop-out by MNM, not wanting to
put those titles on the line against Sailor Mercury and Sailor Mars here
tonight.

TAZZ: Well, this is the first time that these two are going to be facing the FGJ
in the CWE, and Cole, we should be weary in calling this match tonight.

COLE: Why’s that?

TAZZ: Well, think about it. We have JOEY Mercury of MNM, and then SAILOR Mercury
of the FGJ. What if this match gets Mercury versus Mercury, no one will know who
we’re talking about then.

COLE: I think many people will see a resemblance, I would hope. J Mercury and S
Mercury.

TAZZ: Yeah, that’s what you would do, you’re weird like that, as always, but
look out, she didn’t do this entrance this Tuesday on the Special, here comes
one leg, on the apron, and then the other—WOAH!! The greatest entrance in the
history of sports entertainment, belonging to MNM, and Melina.

COLE: And it was Melina that cost YRP the tag titles, that was before that
assault began the match was going on, Yuna went for a second Summoner’s Wish,
Melina took a steel chair to the back of Yuna’s legs, kept her from doing that,
referee was down during all of that, and of course, you see, MNM, with the tag
titles.

SYSTEM-OF-A-DOWN <BG>: //WHY DO THEY ALWAYS SEND THE POOR/BARBARISMS BY
BARBARAS/WITH POINTED HEELS/VICTORIOUS/VICTORIES KNEEL/FOR BRAND NEW SPANKIN'
DEALS

Sailor Mercury and Mars come out to System Of A Down’s “B.Y.O.B.” with the same
graphical treatment.

CHIMEL: And their opponents, they weigh in at a combined 543 pounds, the team of
Sailor Mercury and Sailor Mars, the Full Grown, Jezebels! [crowd cheers]

COLE: And what a win this would be if the FGJ could win against the tag champs
here tonight, as they didn’t waste any time getting into the ring, and referee
Chris Cade, is going to make sure nothing chaotic gets into this, it’ll be
Sailor Mars starting off against Johnny Nitro, as we get underway here.

TAZZ: Look for a lot of fighting out of Mars, you know what you will be getting
into here with Mars, she is a fighter, but she is also rather focus, arm drag
take down into that Fujiwara Arm-bar, quite early in this, Mars, already going
for that shoulder and that arm of Johnny Nitro here.

COLE: Johnny Nitro, however, knows what he needs to do here, this will be an
interesting matchup, as neither of these two teams have faced each other yet, it
will be very interesting to see what these two teams decide to do in this
matchup, Nitro makes it back to his feet, gets to the corner, and referee asks
for a clean break, has until the count of five, Nitro---CLEAN BREAK AND THEN A
CHEAP SHOT, ON MARS, KICK RIGHT TO THE GUT, and THEN MARS, with a knee right to
the gut of her own.

TAZZ: Don’t forget how strong Mars can be, this is a woman who bodyslammed the
Big Show at one point, Cole.

COLE: At Wrestlemania XV, I remember that, as well as I remember that the FGJ
were at one point the Tag Team Champions, both of those occurrences can prove to
be a factor as to how MNM could have scouted this team. Nitro, sends Mars into
the corner, Mars puts on the brakes, and a backwards kick right into the gut,
second turnbuckle goes Sailor Mars, and ax handle, no, got caught---WOW!! WHAT A
COUNTER, NITRO CAUGHT SAILOR MARS AND JUST DRILLED HER STRAIGHT INTO THE
CANVAS!!

TAZZ: And that will be the offense of MNM. Use their brute power, and their size
to combat this quickness and tenacity of the Full Grown Jezebels.

COLE: And it’s those moves that have proven time and time again why MNM are a
team to be reckoned with in the CWE, and Mars, battling back with rights and
lefts into the gut, working on the midsection, it seems, of Nitro, not sure why
you would think that would work, maybe they have something in mind here.

TAZZ: Whatever it is, I don’t think it’s working too well at the moment, Nitro
is just pounding away on the back, the spine, of Sailor Mars right now.

COLE: Mars, tries for a chop, Nitro ducks, goes for a belly to back suplex, Mars
lands on her feet, Nitro to the ropes, GETS ROLLED UP, TWO, AND NITRO KICKS OUT
BEFORE three----AND WHAT A CLOTHESLINE BY NITRO TO MARS, THAT NEALY DECAPITATED
MARS’ HEAD RIGHT OFF HER BODY!! Here’s a cover on Mars, TWO, and a kickout
there. Mars, now, kick, gets caught---and then an enzeguri by Mars, what a way
to kick off Friday Night SmackDown, TV that’s changing Friday nights.

TAZZ: What a match we have already.

COLE: And now Sailor Mars, tags in SAILOR Mercury, not to be confused with JOEY
Mercury that is on the side of MNM and has yet to get into this matchup. Sailor
Mercury, on the attack.

TAZZ: HA! What a damn SHOT!

COLE: Hard kick right to the solar lexes of Johnny Nitro! Did these girls come
ready to fight or WHAT, Tazz?

TAZZ: They certainly did, a chance to get noticed once more in the title hunt is
a sure fire bet of a reason why these girls are fighting for all it’s worth
right now.

COLE: Right now Sailor Mercury, sending Johnny Nitro into the corner, followed
by those same kicks to the ribs of Nitro.

TAZZ: Those hard kicks will get it done if they want to go after the ribs of
Nitro. Those are stiff and they hurt like –hell-!

COLE: Mercury now with a drop toe hold on Nitro, pulling Nitro’s hair, Chris
Cade, making sure she lets go before the count of five, and she does, but some
crossfaces by Mercury to Nitro, definitely doing their work, and Nitro, kick to
the gut of his own to Sailor Mercury, trying to make it to the corner and he
does, and here we go, this stalemate that you were talking about, Tazz. Mercury
versus Mercury.

TAZZ: Sailor Mercury versus Joey Mercury.

COLE: Lock up, center of the ring, and a kick to the midsection by Sailor
Mercury, she’s going to the far side, ducks underneath a clothesline, and WOW!!
What elevation on that spinning heel kick by the Sailor!

TAZZ: And she’s usually a fighter, likes to keep grounded, I don’t usually see
her do moves like that, but it’s good to see a different dimension of her.

COLE: And now Sailor Mercury, will all kinds of momentum right now, legdrop to
the throat of Joey Mercury, and another one, this time from the ropes. To the
near side, SAILOR MERCURY, FOR THE MOONSAULT, Joey rolls to the outside, but
Mercury lands on her feet, as MNM, regroup.

TAZZ: But LOOK OUT, HERE SHE COMES!!

COLE: SAILOR MERCURY, WITH A DIVE THROUGH THE ROPES, TAKING OUT ALL THREE
MEMBERS OF MNM, THIS TIME THE ENTRANCE ASILE BEING THE LANDING PAD!!

TAZZ: Last Tuesday, Yuna did something similar, tonight, déjà vu all over again,
only this time, Sailor Mercury went THOUGH the ropes.

COLE: This is a new dimension that we are seeing out of Sailor Mercury, we don’t
usually see her do these types of moves. Will this new dimension of Sailor
Mercury be able to continue to ride this HUGE wave of momentum? The FGJ are
ROLLING in this matchup!

They go to a two minute commercial break, then return to the show, with MNM
getting an upper hand on Sailor Mars.

COLE: Back on SmackDown, this is a non title match, and Joey Mercury, part of
the tag champs, MNM, clubbing the back of the neck of Sailor Mars, this has been
a back and forth match throughout the break, but right now, MNM, trying to gain
some more momentum, they do not want to lose this non title match here tonight.

TAZZ: No one wants to lose if they are any kind of champions, the stakes are
high for the FGJ in this matchup.

COLE: Sailor Mars, sent to the far side, missing with a clothesline does Joey
Mercury, Mars on the middle rope, springboard, cross body, caught by Joey
Mercury, trying for a fallaway slam, Mars lands on her feet, drop kick to the
back, into an inside cradle, TWO, and a kickout, and Joey Mercury, clothesline,
ducked once again is Mars, near side again, head scissors, then an arm drag,
trying to speed up this matchup here. Sailor Mars, moves out of the way, Joey
Mercury, crash and burns into the turnbuckle, tag made, Sailor Mercury comes in,
and WHAT A CHOP TO THE THROAT, AND ANOTHER ONE, as now Sailor Mercury, shows
that hidden toughness that she always surprises people with, you wouldn’t expect
someone like her to have such a mean demeanor, she’s such a nice person outside
the ring, but inside of it, she’s all business.

TAZZ: And that’s because she knows this ain’t ballet.

COLE: Although she has been moving LIKE a damn ballerina in this matchup, using
moves that we don’t normally see out of her.

TAZZ: Including that suicide dive, taking a page out of Yuna’s playbook from
last Tuesday night, using it to HER advantage tonight.

COLE: It has been effective, and now Mercury, sends JOEY Mercury into the
turnbuckle, what velocity she had on that swing into the turnbuckle---AND
THERE’S AN INVERTED FIREMAN’S CARRY, WELL DONE, COVER, TWO, JOHNNY NITRO BREAKS
UP THE THREE, and here comes Sailor Mars, with a VICIOUS clothesline to Nitro,
he goes down, and now Melina, getting on the apron, trying to draw the referee’s
attention, Nitro went to the outside, and got one of those title belts.

TAZZ: Shades of how they won that title match last Tuesday, only this time, the
titles instead of a chair are being used.

COLE: But they haven’t done anything yet, Sailor Mercury, holding Joey Mercury
up in a half-executed inverted fireman’s carry, and Mars, to the top!

TAZZ: The Jezebel Guillotine, coming up, but Nitro is with that title belt.

COLE: Nitro, coming in---BUT MERCURY, WITH A LOW BLOW KICK, REFEREE NEVER SAW
IT, AND HERE COMES SAILOR –MARS- WITH THAT LEGDROP, THE JEZEBEL GUILLOTINE,
HERE’S THE COVER, SAILOR MERCURY IS THE LEGAL WOMAN—AND THE FGJ, GET THE –HUGE-
WIN, OVER THE CURRENT, CWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!!

CHIMEL: HERE ARE YOUR WINNERS, SAILOR MERCURY AND SAILOR MARS, THE FULL, GROWN,
JEZEBELS!! [crowd cheers]

COLE: What a win this is for the FGJ, HUGE win.

TAZZ: If this doesn’t get them back into that title picture, Cole, I don’t know
WHAT will!

COLE: Well, here’s the closing moments of this matchup, and Tazz, you describe
it!

TAZZ: Thank you for giving me those devious honors, [transition takes us to
replay] first, Johnny Nitro tried to go for those tag team belts, or ONE belt, I
should say, and then, with Melina getting the ref’s attention, Nitro, tried to
save Joey Mercury from that Jezebel Guillotine, but it was the OTHER Mercury,
SAILOR Mercury, that saw him coming, and kicked him right in the yambag, man. I
don’t care WHO you are, that will take you down, and then, the Jezebel
Guillotine on MNM’s Mercury, and you could’ve counted to TWENTY, he wasn’t
getting up from that, and the win, goes to the FGJ [back to live action].

COLE: I agree with you, too, partner, that they should be able to get a serious
shot at getting back into the title race with that win, that was a picture
perfect win by the FGJ, on Friday Night SmackDown.

Switch to backstage camera, where we see Cowboy Bob Orton having a few words
with his son in their locker room.

BOB: Randy, do you know what she is capable of doing, I still have a long career
to tend to, she can end it in an instant.

RANDY: I know, dad, I know. Listen to me. I know what I’m doing, she will NOT be
able to do a THING to you. I wouldn’t do that if I didn’t have a plan for it.
You watch, dad. Just go in there, and do your thing. Let me handle the rest. She
will not leave here with a win over you tonight, I guarantee you that.

BOB: Ok---BUT I’M STILL EDGY ABOUT THIS!!

RANDY: No need to be. She’s nothing compared to us, she will never be able to
beat you, dad, and come No Way Out, she will be unable to beat, the Legend
Killer.

They both smile at each other in approval. Switch to another backstage area,
where Marlene Angel, the Royal Rumble winner, is making her way to the ring. Ann
then stops her on the way there.

ANN: Hey Marlene, congrats on your Rumble win.

MARLENE: Thanks, I appreciate that. Tough as hell to do, though.

ANN: I’ve heard. Listen, you really deserve this main event at Wrestlemania.
I’ll be rooting for you, regardless of where you go.

MARLENE: Where I go? Ann, what do you mean?

ANN: Don’t you know? You can stay here and go after the World Heavyweight Title,
or, and I hope you’re not even thinking of this, to go to RAW and try to win
that CWE Championship.

MARLENE: Oh, you mean THAT!! Yeah, I know now what you mean. Yeah, I don’t know
quite yet. I have some unsettled business with Gohan over there on RAW, I wanted
to kick his ass for the longest time. But my loyalty is to this locker room. So
it’s a tough choice.

ANN: Don’t make it too tough on yourself. Remember, it’s going to come down to
what YOU are wanting to do, and ONLY you.

MARLENE: Thanks, Ann. Means a lot.

COLE: Marlene is in action tonight, though, and that match is NEXT!!

They go to a two minute commercial break, then come back to the show, with a
flashback from the Royal Rumble match at the Royal Rumble.

COLE: Back on SmackDown, and Marlene drew number four in the Royal Rumble, and
for over an hour, she stayed in there, and survived twenty-nine other superstars
from both RAW and SmackDown, to gain that coveted Main Event at Wrestlemania 22.

TAZZ: No doubt she was deserving to go to the big dance, Cole. I am proud of her
and proud that she is on SmackDown, but what Ann said before the break was true,
she can choose which champion she faces at Wrestlemania.

COLE: And we would like to thank all of our great CWE fans for making the Royal
Rumble sold out this past Sunday, and we would also like to thank 10 Years, for
their lending the Royal Rumble theme song, Wasteland, GREAT TRACK, from The
Autumn Effect, in stores now.

TAZZ: What a great song from 10 Years, and an awesome CD, GREAT props for them.

COLE: And we would like to thank ALL of the great bands, both current and over
the years, that have let the CWE use the songs we do for the entrance themes of
all of the CWE superstars, they are such great bands, great artists for all the
help they give to the CWE.

Back to live action, where Sylvan’s music begins, and he comes out with
nameplate action coming up onscreen.

CHIMEL: [as the bell sounds] THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDUALED FOR ONE FALL!
MAKING HIS WAY TO THE RING, HAILING FROM HIS WINTER RESIDENCE IN SOUTH BEACH
MIAMI, FLORIDA, WEIGHING IN AT 250 POUNDS, SYLVAN!!

COLE: The SmackDown fashion consultant, Sylvan, will be having his hands full,
here tonight, I don’t think he really wants to face, the person he will have to
face here tonight, the Royal Rumble winner, Marlene Angel.

TAZZ: Well, tonight, SmackDown is brought to you by the US Department of
Transportation, who remind you, that in many states, if you don’t click it, you
will get a ticket. And by Burger King, where you can always have it your way.
And by AXE Shower Gel. It’s how dirty boys get clean.

COLE: I think Sylvan is going to have to USE some of that, because he will be
getting dirty, all right.

TAZZ: You worked on that one all day, did you?

COLE: Just came to me.

TAZZ: [laughing] I don’t think I ever want to hear you say that again. That was
just plain disturbing, but in any case, the fashion consultant, as you said,
will have his hands full here tonight.

STATIC-X (BG): CORROSIVE/TAINTED BY MY SIN/I'M SPILLING BLOOD/AND I CAN HARDLY
CONTAIN IT/CORROSIVE/HALLOWING THE HAND/STIFFENED I EAT AWAY/EAT/EAT INTO THE
SURFACE/YEAH/YOU PUSH IT

Marlene Angel (from Blue Gender) comes out to Static-X’s “Push It”, with cheers
from the crowd, her titantron nameplate coming up on-screen.

CHIMEL: AND HIS OPPONENT, FROM DETROIT, MICHIGAN, WEIGHING IN AT 187 POUNDS,
MARLENE, ANGEL!!

COLE: This crowd is on their feet for the Royal Rumble winner, she will be
headlining Wrestlemania 22, in just 58 Days, from Chicago, Illinois.

TAZZ: Can you see the look on her face, all business, as always, she is already
ready for Wrestlemania.

COLE: Well, this matchup is underway, and right away, Marlene, just going right
after the fashion consultant, rights and lefts, and whipped into the TURNBUCKLE
HARD, CHEST COLLIDED WITH THE TURNBUCKLE, AND BELLY TO BACK SUPLEX!! Coming
right out of the gate, Marlene Angel, rolling right over Sylvan, as Sylvan,
heads to the outside.

TAZZ: I don’t think Marlene is going to LET him regroup, and out she comes.

COLE: Marlene is on FIRE here, straight chops to the throat, the chest, as well,
of Sylvan.

TAZZ: And seeing as how she has become like, more like Chris Benoit, those
stinging chops, that bad boys WILL hurt, tear up your chest.

COLE: And Marlene, as vicious as ever, Sylvan, knee to the midsection, trying to
get Marlene off of him, only for a moment, and now Sylvan, whipping MARLENE
right into the steel steps back first, that could’ve given Sylvan some time to
catch his breath, breaking up that ten count from referee Charles Robinson.

TAZZ: When you are in that ring against Marlene, you have to do whatever you can
to get her to slow down to your pace, she will come after you and not let you
have any chance to breath in that ring, and Sylvan did a good job there, to do
whatever you have to do to slow the pace of this match down.

COLE: And now Sylvan, with Marlene---sending her head first into those steel
steps, and now Sylvan, may have a bit of an opening here to mound some kind of
offense, as Marlene is rolled back into the ring, and now Sylvan, stomping away
at Marlene, as Marlene, heads to the turnbuckle, but Sylvan, having what might

be the right idea, not letting Marlene have even the slightest bit of a chance
to get back into this match.

TAZZ: That is a good idea, Cole, and Marlene, will use any opening she can.

COLE: I just noticed that when her head hit those steps, she caught a little bit
of that blood that is on those steps, she’s got a smudge of blood on her
forehead, she isn’t busted open, ladies and gentlemen, that was from the blood
that was bled last Tuesday night, we want to make sure for those people just
tuning in, the blood soaked steel steps that was the result of that heinous
assault by Rikku on Yuna last Tuesday on the SmackDown Special, and the ring
crew was not able to get all of that blood off of the steps from how profusely
Yuna bled there, and that is why that top step is still red in color, and why
Marlene, who is getting a flurry of right elbows into the face by Sylvan in that
turnbuckle, that is why she has that smudge of the blood on her temple right
now.

TAZZ: And ever SINCE she hit that bloody step, Sylvan has been on her, great job
by Sylvan, but right now he’s showboating, GET BACK ON HER, SYLVAN!!

COLE: Sylvan, as cocky as ever---BUT MARLENE, TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THE MISTAKE,
HARD CLOTHESLINE OUT OF THE TURNBUCKLE!! And Marlene, stalking Sylvan—ATOMIC
DROP, SYLVAN HIT HARD COMING DOWN—SWINGING NECKBREAKER!! Here’s a COVER, TWO,
and Sylvan, kicks out before three. Irish whip, far side, Sylvan up on the
shoulder, followed by a shoulder breaker, and then a legdrop onto that shoulder.

TAZZ: Marlene may be looking to end this right now!

COLE: Marlene, getting Sylvan back to his feet, and Sylvan, using whatever he
can to get back into this, Marlene, a stinging chop to the chest of Sylvan, and
now another Irish whip, it got reversed, and Marlene, cross body, gets caught in
mid air, but Marlene, escapes it, gets behind him!

TAZZ: Don’t turn around, Sylvan.

COLE: OH MY!! MARLENE HAS SYLVAN UP---AND THE STINGER PILEDRIVER, AND FOLKS,
THIS ONE IS OVER!! MARLENE PICKS UP THE WIN, AND IS ROLLING!! [Marlene’s music
plays]

CHIMEL: HERE IS YOUR WINNER, MARLENE ANGEL!! [crowd cheers]

COLE: Marlene was all business tonight, and continues to be on the road to
Wrestlemania 22.

TAZZ: I will be surprised if she keeps her eyes off of the prize for even a
split second--!

???: HEY, MARLENE!!

COLE: Wait a minute!

TAZZ: Who the hell?!

???: Up here, you remember me, don’t you!

Marlene and the camera both look up at the Titantron to see Gohan, the CWE
Champion that is on RAW, on the Titantrons, with the belt, with it being obvious
that the “mystery voice” belonged to him.

COLE: OH, MY GOD!!

TAZZ: Gohan, he’s from RAW! What is he doing on SmackDown?

GOHAN: Let me give you a little refresher course, in case you don’t know just
yet. I am Gohan, I have something you want, I took something that you wanted
FROM you, and I’m here to remind you, that the last time we met, I KICKED YOUR
ASS!! And now you want to come out here tonight, and say that you have this
thought that maybe you are going to come to RAW, to where the TRUE talent is,
and kick MY ass? Let me assure you of something, MARLENE!! Since I came to RAW,
I have been shown the truth. That I was on an inferior program, with INFERIOR
ALTHLETES!! Hell, on SmackDown, I don’t think you eve have WRESLTERS!! You guys
are NOTHING, and, since you are so loyal to SmackDown, that makes YOU nothing.
You know what, I’m DARING you to come over here to RAW to face me at
Wrestlemania. I’m DARING you to come over here, with your SmackDown loyalty
crap, and prove me wrong. I’m daring you to come over here, and me kick your ass
once AGAIN!! You have that loophole, you can do whatever you want now, face
whoever you desire. Do you want to face a DOG at Wrestlemania, or do you want to
face someone who you REALLY want to face? Just remember, if you face ME, then
you are going to be doing the same thing that you know how to do best---FAIL!!
[the titantron goes blank as the camera switches to Marlene, who is showing all
kinds of anger]

COLE: What an ass he is?

TAZZ: Yeah, SmackDown, an inferior show? Not since you left, buddy!

COLE: Well, not for nothing, Gohan may have got into Marlene’s head.

TAZZ: I hope not, don’t let Gohan get to you, Marlene, he had to use his dad to
beat you, Marlene.

COLE: He had to use Meryl to get that CWE Championship away from Vash at the
Rumble. Gohan is a disgusting excuse for a human being, and this act just
solidified that fact, here tonight.

A few more seconds of looking at Marlene’s face, then a fade to black and then
to a commercial, for two minutes, then returning to the show.

A few seconds of silence, other than the crowd chatting amongst themselves
during the break, but then:

MISSY ELLIOT (BG): MUSIC MAKE U LOSE CONTROL/MUSIC MAKE U LOSE CONTROL/(LETS GO)

The music keeps going, “Lose Control” by Missy Elliot, as Rikku begins to come
out.

COLE: Oh my!

TAZZ: Here we go!

Her nameplate appears on-screen with the related titantron (featuring her in-
ring moves and her “dancing” in front of the Wrestlemania 21 lights, if you
remember those).

CHIMEL: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, PLEASE WELCOME, RIKKU!! [crowd boos a bit]

COLE: And she is slowly walking to the ring in a kind of somber mood, I’m not
used to seeing her like this, Tazz.

TAZZ: Me either, this is probably one of the creepiest moments I’ve ever seen in
my LIFE, Cole. I’m used to seeing her, always this spunky, cheery girl who knew
what she was doing in that ring, not this dreadful, somber girl that’s coming to
the ring right now. I don’t understand this.

COLE: Well, this is certainly a continuation from what we saw last Tuesday on
the SmackDown Special. This is certainly a different Rikku, as you see her, just
stare at the top step of those steel steps, still blood stained after that
heinous assault to Yuna, to her own damn FAMILY, her own damn COUSIN!

TAZZ: Not only that, Cole, but did you notice the top of her chest, there’s
another place that blood didn’t come off.

COLE: Yeah, smearing that blood on her chest, and now I see it as she comes into
the ring, that’s Yuna’s blood that she streaked across her chest like it were
some kind of trophy is still on her chest. And we do understand that Yuna
suffered a concussion and severe blood loss, she will be out for some time,
thanks to her own cousin, that to me is what shocked me, that she had the
audacity to do that to her own family, to damn near cripple her, and we deserve
an explanation, we might get one.

TAZZ: I’m more than listening to this one.

COLE: This crowd, also really unsure of what to think, kind of an ominous hush
when she was walking out here. [Rikku’s music stops as she holds the mic in her
hand, slowly getting ready to say something]

TAZZ: Not sure how to receive her.

She finally is ready to speak. But stands dead still, feet as close together as
she can, her head hung down, as if she was at a funeral service.

RIKKU: [in a kind of low tone] Yunie, I told you, I didn’t want to come out
here, last Tuesday. And I meant it. I didn’t want to come out here. But did I
listen? Did I listen to myself? Did I listen, to the only person that should
matter to me? No, of course not. Why? Because I loved you. Maybe too much. [she
puts a hand through her hair, now looking up at the lights, sighing heavily]
Yeah, maybe that’s what you did. You, being the leader and all. You talked me
into it. Even though I never wanted to. And for a while [a little snicker
escapes her, her head coming back down] I bought into it. You told me, that you
loved me. That I was first, not some damn strap. But still, you wanted me to
come out, for those titles. If you loved me, if you really, truly, loved me, you
would’ve let me alone, and let me be, until I was ready. But that wasn’t good
enough for you, was it, Yunie? [she pauses for a second] And wouldn’t you know
it, my heart, still wasn’t there. Yeah, I was in that match with you, alongside
you, but what happened? I screwed up again. I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t protect
you, Yunie. So, when I went back into that ring, I did something, I had to do,
Yunie. I did something, that I didn’t –want- to do. I had, [she grits her teeth
and gets a bit louder as the trembling starts] to make you –bleed-! [crowd boos]

COLE: WOW!!

RIKKU: That steel step, that chair, even my hands and my chest, are all stained,
as a reminder to me, of what you made me do, Yunie. Because, you were selfish.
You said you loved me. What the hell kind of love did you show by dragging me—
[she pauses trying to fight the words, sobbing a bit, then screaming] TO WHERE I
DIDN’T WANT TO BE, DAMN IT?!!! [crowd reacts in shock] You did that to me, and
to Paine. But I loved you, and it meant so much to you, and I wanted to do
anything for you, so I obliged. I kept my love for you as a family member, and I
kept silent. I was even proud, of standing next to my big cousin, supporting
you. But I never was able to tell you that I needed anything. I wasn’t able to
say that I needed your support. [laughing a bit again] But you wanted to be the
tag team champions, you wanted that South East Asian title shot. And why did I
keep helping you? Because I –loved- you. You were my family, we’ve always been
close. You and me, against anything that was thrown at us. But you ruined it,
Yunie, on that night, on Tuesday. I couldn’t do it, I know I couldn’t, but you
didn’t care. You wanted me out there, come Hell or high water. I didn’t tag you,
because I wasn’t ready to face my fears then. It wasn’t because I didn’t want to
help you. It was because I couldn’t help you. [screaming again] BUT YOU NEVER –
LISTENED-, TO –ME-!! –I- was the one that gave you all the help. And what did –
I- get, Yunie? Was there something in it for me? Oh sure, I got the tag titles,
I was in your shadow. But I never was able to do anything with it. Where was –
my- SEA title shot, where was –my- publicity, huh? It was about you, because I
loved you. And I tolerated it. But no more. Not anymore, not now, not ever
again. From now on, Rikku, does things, for Rikku. No one else. Not for Paine,
not for anyone back there, not for any of these people [crowd boos], and
especially, not, for, -YOU-!! Yunie, my only regret, on Tuesday, when I hit you
on the head with that steel chair, on the steps, was that I DIDN’T TAKE, YOUR –
LIFE-, WITH IT!! AND IF YOU –EVER-, COME BACK, YOUR BLOOD, THAT GOT ON MY HANDS,
-WILL- BE, YOUR –LIFE-!!

TAZZ: Oh, my God! Talk about getting an answer, Cole!

COLE: This is a scary side of Rikku, now I’m not sure if I WANTED to hear her
explanation--!

AVENGED SEVENFOLD (BG): "HE WHO MAKES A BEAST OUT OF HIMSELF/GETS RID OF THE
PAIN OF BEING A MAN"//CAUGHT HERE IN A FIERY BLAZE/WON'T LOSE MY WILL TO STAY/I
TRIED TO DRIVE ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT

COLE: [as the music starts] WAIT A MINUTE!!

TAZZ: Someone else might have another side to things, Cole.

Crowd cheers as Paine makes her way out, to Avenged Sevenfold’s “Bat Country”,
and to the ring, usual graphical treatment.

COLE: Paine is here, and you and I agree, Tazz, she might have a different take
of Yuna. Remember, Mark Henry was banned from ringside by SmackDown General
Manager Theodore Long because he powerbombed Paine twice backstage, once through
a table, and then the other onto the hood of a car, as she was unable to do
anything about what transpired at the end of the SmackDown Special because of
it.

TAZZ: But I’m betting that she now wishes she was with them, she could’ve
stopped that assault before it got as out of hand as it did.

COLE: We’ll find out.

PAINE: [now in the ring with a mic] Rikku, you serious? You mean to tell me that
what you did was out of LOVE? Rikku, I’ve never known you as having a sort of
dark side. I want to be honest with you, Rikku. What you did last Tuesday, to
Yuna, you’re family, my FRIEND, and what you’re saying now, scares the living
HELL, out of me, and you know me, I don’t scare easily. You could’ve killed your
own family, Rikku. That hit---I don’t know if you realize what you’re doing to
yourself. Look at you. That blood on your hands, on your chest. Are you that
obsessed with proving how tough you are, to blindside your cousin like that, and
then just cause her to have a concussion, blood loss. Damn, Rikku, you must love
her to do THAT, huh? That takes love to do. What Yuna, showed you, was TRUE
love. She wanted you out there, so you could face your demons. You made mistake
after mistake, you fussed up to them, I know. And you wanted to prove how much
you weren’t someone who made mistakes like that. And you wanna know something,
Rikku. She was going to convince people to give you a chance. You worked your
ass off to get to where you are now. You know all about it. Gang Warz, you put
your body and soul on the line, and you WON that damn match for us. You didn’t
care how much punishment you took, you gave every amount of blood and tears that
you could to win that match. And sure, maybe it was for Yuna, and for me, but
you did that because you WANTED to do that for us. Because you knew what it
took. And do you want to know what I said to Yuna that night, Rikku? I told her
that you may become a future World Heavyweight Champion. Yeah, I actually
believed that you could get to that spot, that Koga, Jessie Malor, Kurt Angle,
Queen Beryl, Triple H, all of them, were in. In a way, I still do. But not like
this. Rikku, I can’t stand for this. I can’t sit back and watch my friend, your
FAMILY, not only have her skull broken like this, but her heart broken like
this. I considered her MY family, too, Rikku. And I will ALWAYS consider her
family. And--!

RIKKU: God, why can’t you just SHUT UP!! [crowd boos and is in shock]

COLE: WOW!!

TAZZ: Oh, my God!

RIKKU: Did I ask for your opinion? Did I ask for you to come out and interrupt
me? No, I didn’t. As a matter of fact, I think you’re just as bad as she was.
Me, getting a chance, because of Yunie? You may say that, but no, she would’ve
never done that. To me, she’s nothing now. Nothing, but a disgusting, wretched--
-li---litlle---BITCH!!!

PAINE: No, Rikku! You’re confused, you’re hurt, you wanted someone to blame. You
wanted to blame someone other than yourself for those mistakes. For someone to
pay for what you did, what you cost her. And you found it in your own cousin, in
your own precious Yunie. And she’s in the hospital, probably watching you,
telling her that the next time she comes here, you’re going to kill her? Do you
realize what you mean? She’s probably crying her heart out, and hoping, praying,
that you snap out of this, that something clicks in your mind.

RIKKU: Paine, I sure as hell, don’t need anything to click, when it clicked to
make me want to cripple her. I don’t need Yuna, anymore, and I don’t need YOU!!

With that, Rikku SLAPS PAINE hard in the face, making Paine’s face turn to the
side from the force and her holding her hand to her face, in disbelief.

COLE: Oh my God.

TAZZ: Oh no.

COLE: Rikku slapped Paine right in the JAW!

TAZZ: I don’t believe what I’m witnessing.

COLE: Paine, in a state of disbelief---AND PAINE HAS HAD ENOUGH, HERE WE GO!!
PAINE, WITH LEFTS AND RIGHTS TO THE SKULL OF RIKKU!!

TAZZ: OH MY GOD, ARE THEY –EVER- GOING AFTER EACH OTHER!!

COLE: AND IN PAINE’S MIND, THIS IS FOR YUNA, THIS IS FOR WHAT YUNA GOT PUT
THROUGH THIS PAST TUESDAY!!

TAZZ: THIS CROWD IS LOVING EVERY SECOND OF THIS!!

COLE: THE REFEREE SHIRTS, FILLING UP THE RING, TRYING TO GET THESE TWO LADIES
APART!!

TAZZ: I don’t think they will, Cole!

COLE: AND HERE WE GO AGAIN!! PAINE, RIKKU, STILL GOING AFTER EACH OTHER, PUNCHES
AND KICKS, BACK AND FORTH!!

TAZZ: LET THEM GO!!

COLE: THIS THING WENT SOUTH THE SECOND RIKKU SLAPPED PAINE, AND NOW RIKKU HAS
BEEN SENT OUTSIDE THE RING, STILL TRYING TO GET AFTER PAINE, IT’S TAKING AN ARMY
LOAD OF OFFICIALS TO KEEP THESE TWO APART FROM EACH OTHER!!

TAZZ: This may get ugly in a hurry, Cole! I still say let them fight!

COLE: This thing has broken down, I don’t know WHAT to think!

They fade out to a commercial break, then return to the show, focus on Michael
Cole and Tazz, nameplate coming up on screen.

COLE: Back on SmackDown, Michael Cole and Tazz at ringside, and Tazz, I could
not believe the things we heard and saw, just a few moments ago. Rikku, saying
that she did what she did at the SmackDown Special because she loved Yuna, but
the actions, spoke much louder than words, I don’t know what kind of love that
was to bloody up your own family.

TAZZ: Cole, you and me both, know what family love really is, you and I both
have families, and at no point, would either you, me, or anyone watching, this
program, or here in this arena, would do that to their loved ones, would put
their loved ones in a stretcher and then threaten to take their LIFE!! But more
importantly, I think she’s full of it, when she said that she was dragged out
there on the Special.

COLE: She wanted to be out there for Yuna, that’s what she wanted to do, she
can’t go about saying that she never did anything for herself, Paine mentioned
the Gang Warz match at Fully Loaded, Rikku in a bloody mess still winning that
match for YRP, the sole survivor and beating the three Team Possible members.
And then that Survivor Series match, Rikku wanted those Tag Titles as badly as
Yuna did, how the hell can she come out here, she should be ashamed of herself
for saying those degrading things?

TAZZ: Cole, I don’t know, I mean, I know they are disgusting comments, no doubt,
but I don’t think Rikku knows really what she’s saying. She was out there, just
in this somber tone, like her eyes were just plain lost out there, and that is
even scarier than what she said, was that tone that she said it. She didn’t even
make eye contact with the crowd, I’m surprised she did so to Paine.

COLE: Well, speaking of Paine, once Rikku slapped Paine, that was when it was
on, and they finally got those two separated, but we got some breaking news from
General Manager Theodore Long during the break. At No Way Out [they start the
theme music (to be revealed in a few moments) and the match avatar graphics for
No Way Out] this was announced by Theodore Long during the break, Rikku, is
going to go one on one, with Paine, and Tazz, knowing what has been developing
over the past week, do you think that this will be a match or a fight?

TAZZ: I don’t think you have to ask that question, no one does, but I get your
point in asking, yeah, this will be a fight, but this will be a nasty one, I
don’t know if I want to see what ends up being a bloody, graphic battle.

COLE: And of course, the other matches on the card, Randy Orton got the right to
face Sango for the South East Asian Championship at No Way Out, and this could
be Sango’s biggest challenge to date.

TAZZ: The legend killer, Randy Orton, whose father we will see in action later
tonight versus Kikyo, will definitely be a tough test for our current SEA
Champion, Sango, but I think Sango will be ready, she is a quick, fast champion,
she will be able to pull this off if she is ready.

COLE: And of course, we learned that Inuyasha will face either Tuxedo Mask of
Chris Benoit for the World Heavyweight Championship, his opponent will be
decided in our main event tonight, but the way Inuyasha won that, he is someone
else who owes an explanation.

TAZZ: And what does Kagome think about all of this? We don’t know how she feels,
if anything.

COLE: I still think he stole that title from Koga, and you have to believe, that
he is chomping at the bit, for another chance at that World Heavyweight Title.

TAZZ: No doubt, but what will Koga do ABOUT it now, will this have any effect on
what has been planned for No Way Out.

COLE: It’ll be at the Joe in Detroit, No Way Out, Sunday, February 19th,
exclusively on Pay Per View.

Back to live action, in the backstage area, where Jessie Malor is shown, getting
a drink from the water cooler, when someone comes up behind her.

???: Jessie, I was looking for you.

She turns around to see Kurt Angle standing there.

JESSIE: Kurt? What’s up?

ANGLE: Well, you know, I’m always looking for a challenge, and I’ve been looking
for someone who I haven’t faced in a long time, if ever. Because every year, I
make Wrestlemania special. I am the wrestling machine. But then I thought of
something. Something, that I wish I had thought of earlier. I thought, there was
one person that I haven’t faced yet. Someone who could take me to the limit. And
I was a big fan of yours when I was watching you win match after match. And I
thought, that is someone I haven’t faced. The only Olympic gold medalist, who
won the gold medal with a broken neck, versus the Shining Light, someone who
came back from a eight month long rib injury that, no offense, should’ve killed
her on the spot, but came back from it to be the two time CWE Champion.

JESSIE: Wait, hold up. Let me guess. You want to have a match, against ME, at

Mania?

ANGLE: How did you know?

JESSIE: It’s not that hard to see that nowadays. I’m still in my prime and all,
I think. And so are you, I think. And trust me, every time, around this time,
everyone wants to have that one moment, that one opportunity, to shine. To be
noticed.

ANGLE: So, what about it? Me, and you, for Wrestlemania?

JESSIE: Kurt, right now, I’m focused on something else. I’m ready to jump at the
opportunity if Marlene goes to RAW, to become the next in line for the World
Heavyweight Champion---but then again, that is a once in a lifetime opportunity
to face who I consider my equal at the big dance. I’ll tell you what, I’ll think
about it.

ANGLE: It’s out there. Just remember though, Jessie, [he then gets face to face,
toe to toe with Jessie] if and when you face me, I’ll show no mercy on you in
that ring, and I will show the upmost respect for you, but I will be trying my
damnest, to make you TAP!!

JESSIE: [returning the favor to Kurt] Kurt, I wouldn’t have it any other way.

The two still stare down at one another, as if Jessie’s mind has been made up
but not revealed yet, then they go to a commercial break for two minutes, then
return to the show.

The sign on the high rise says “Wrestlemania 22: Only 57 days away.”

[end CWE Wrestlemania short promo]

COLE: Back on SmackDown, and you heard Peter Gabriel’s Big Time, the theme to
Wrestlemania, but Tazz, that’s not the only theme we have to acknowledge, the
theme to No Way Out. Will you listen to this one, H.I.M., His Infernal Majesty,
and “Rip Out The Wings Of A Butterfly”, from their latest album, Dark Light, the
official theme song to CWE No Way Out.

TAZZ: Off the chain, I cannot believe they knew who H.I.M. WAS, much less PICK
this song for No Way Out. KICK ASS band, kick ass song, a much underrated band,
what a pick, for No Way Out.

COLE: And this song, I think, is fitting, because of one of the matches on the
card, Rikku versus Paine, and Rikku, I believe, actually did rip out a
butterfly’s wings, that butterfly, being Yuna, very fitting theme for No Way
Out.

TAZZ: Regardless, kick ass song, and Cole, we just saw Jessie get called out by
Kurt Angle for Wrestlemania. That was something else, man.

COLE: I know I’m going to be hoping that she wants to face Kurt Angle, that
would be a monumental matchup, she has never faced him before.

Back to ringside.

Randy Orton accompanies his father, Cowboy Bob Orton, to the ring as the bell
sounds, his nameplate and titantron comes up on-screen.

CHIMEL: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDUALED FOR ONE FALL!! MAKING HIS WAY TO THE
RING, ACCOMPANIED BY THE LEGEND KILLER, RANDY ORTON, HE IS A WWE HALL OF FAMER,
COWBOY BOB, ORTON!!

COLE: Do you think that Bob Orton is ready for what could face him in Kikyo.

TAZZ: He better be, but we heard that they had a plan, I don’t know if this is a
good idea by Kikyo, I smell a rat here. Well, SmackDown presents No Way Out,
sponsored by Subway. No Way Out comes to you live from the Joe Louis Arena in
Detroit, Michigan, Sunday, February 19th, exclusively on Pay Per View. Subway,
where you can get fresh toasted subs made the way you want them. Subway, Eat
Fresh.

COLE: Randy Orton better have a plan, because Bob Orton doesn’t look too pleased
being out here, remember that Orton basically said he is the only one that could
bring creditability back to the CWE South East Asian title, but Kikyo stopped
that talk right away, because, and I agree, that she held the title the longest,
and if there is anyone that gave that title the creditability that it got, it
was her and that spectacular run as SEA Champion during 2004.

TAZZ: Nine month run, Randy tried to downplay that, he won’t be able to now.

SALIVA <BG>: RAISE UP/EVERYBODY RAISE –UUUUP-//RAISE UP/RAISE UP/RAISE UP/RAISE
UP/STRAIGHT OUT THE POORHOUSE EATING LOBSTER FOR BREAKFAST/TWO NEW TOUR
BUSES/CAUSE MY VOICE IS INFECTIOUS [Kikyo comes out to “Raise Up” by Saliva,
nameplate coming up on screen with Titantron]

CHIMEL: AND HIS OPPONENT, WEIGHING IN AT 187 POUNDS, KIKYO!!

COLE: Well, this will be a very interesting matchup right here. What is going to
happen in this one? Randy Orton just basically forced his father into this, as
Kikyo is in the ring and this matchup is underway, Cowboy Bob Orton, moving all
around the ring like some

sort of amateur boxer, Kikyo just standing back in the middle of the ring and
watching the Cowboy, at work.

TAZZ: Randy Orton at ringside, though, and these guys can be crafty. Randy Orton
is going all around this ring.

COLE: I don’t think Kikyo is all too worried about Randy Orton at the moment on
the outside, remember it was him that made those outrageous comments about him
being the only guy that could bring back creditability to the South East Asian
title, when Kikyo held the title for so long, and when the SEA Championship is
as creditable as it’s ever been without Randy Orton even putting a hand on it.

TAZZ: Well, right now, Bob Orton, in that headlock, Kikyo, has it tightly locked
in here.

COLE: But Bob Orton, pushes Kikyo to the near side, ducks underneath---OH WAIT A
MINUTE!! RANDY ORTON, WITH A SHOT ACROSS THE HEAD, AND I THINK HE HAS THOSE
KNUCKS PACKING!!

TAZZ: AND NOW RANDY ORTON IS INTO THE RING, COLE!!

COLE: WE SHOULD’VE KNOWN THIS WAS GOING TO BE NOTHING MORE THAN A DAMN SETUP AT
THE HANDS OF THE ORTONS, THIS WAS NOT GOING TO BE A MATCH, REFEREE CHRIS CADE
RINGS THE BELL, BOB ORTON, RANDY ORTON, POUNDING AWAY AT KIKYO, BOB ORTON
HOLDING HER UP, RANDY WITH THOSE BRASS KNUCKS---WAIT A MINUTE!! SANGO, THE SEA
CHAMPION, OUT HERE, RANDY ORTON HIGHTAILED IT, SOME MAN HE IS TO MAKE HIS FATHER
FEND FOR HIMSELF!!

TAZZ: BOB ORTON IS PLEADING, ON HIS KNEES!!

COLE: And Sango—KICK TO THE TEMPLE BY SANGO, AND BOB ORTON, STILL TRYING---AND
SANGO, GOT HIM UP---NECK SLITTER!! THE REVERSE INVERTED GUILLOTINE NECKBREAKER
SHE CALLS THE NECK SLITTER, ARM PUSHING INTO THE NECK AS SHE SENDS BOB ORTON TO
THE MAT!!

TAZZ: RANDY ORTON BACK IN, THOUGH!!

COLE: SANGO DOESN’T SEE HIM BEHIND HER, STALKING HER PROBABLY TO DELIVER THE
RKO!! SANGO, TURNS AROUND, RANDY ORTON, TRYING FOR THE RKO, SANGO PUSHES HIM
AWAY---AND RIGHT INTO A REVIVED KIKYO!!

TAZZ: JUDGMENT SLAM, GOING ON THE –NECK- IS ORTON!! MY GOD, THAT’S A PAINFUL
MOVE TO BE IN!!

COLE: SANGO AND KIKYO, GOT OUT OF THAT PREMEDITATED SET UP BY THE OTONS, AND
THEY HAVE BEEN LAID OUT--!

Suddenly, though, they turn around and catch each other with their eyes, with
Kikyo staring Sango down, as well as her title.

COLE: Wait a minute.

TAZZ: Kikyo is looking at Sango, as if she wants that title herself!

COLE: It was Kikyo that Orton pinned last Tuesday. She does want her chance at
the CWE South East Asian title.

TAZZ: But what was the deal just now with Kikyo and Sango, Cole? Kikyo just
stared a damn HOLE though Sango, she wants to be at No Way Out, still.

COLE: I have no idea, partner, but all I know is that tonight, the Ortons, tried
to set up Kikyo, and it backfired, and I think Kikyo, with all respect given to
Sango by her, mentioned that she wants to face her for the SEA Title. Well,
folks, this night isn’t over, because later tonight, it’ll be our main event
[card avatars are on screen, being transitioned into them, and the SD theme is
in the background], this will be for a No Way Out title shot, Tuxedo Mask, will
be one on one, with the man he screwed out of a Royal Rumble romp, Chris Benoit,
here tonight, winner to take on Inuyasha at No Way Out in Detroit. That is still
to come, tonight, here, on Friday Night SmackDown.

[start RAW Rebound]

PROMO ANN.: AND NOW, RAW MAGAZINE PRESENTS, THE RAW REBOUND!!

{go to flashback}

GOHAN:...Last night, I made sure, that Vash, would never again, get his title
back. I made sure, that what I said was going to happen, happened, and Vash, you
can whine that I used Meryl to my advantage {shots of the Ruble, where Gohan
used Meryl as a shield from Vash throughout the match, Meryl in horror and
scared to death}. You can whine to your hearts content. But the fact of the
matter is this, you piece of garbage. I am now, the CWE Champion, and there is
not a damn thing, that you, Vash, can do, about--!

BG: 3-6-9/DAMN/YOU’RE FINE

STYLES: HOLD ON A SEC, GOHAN!! DON’T TALK SO FAST!!

...STOPPABLE: So, Gohan, you don’t think Vash can do anything about you stealing
that title yet again, from him? Well, you may be right. But though he may not be
able to, me, Ron Stoppable, the RAW General Manager, CAN!!...

COACH: Good God, no.

...STOPPABLE: And tonight, you will DEFEND that title, one more time, against
someone I think you are so familiar with, JOHN, CENA!! [crowd cheers]

{fast-forward to the match itself}

...STYLES: This match is for the CWE Championship, John Cena has been waiting
for another shot at the CWE Championship.

...KING: Gohan, I think, used Meryl one too many times for my taste last night.
Tonight, he won’t have anyone to cover behind.

COACH: Like he NEEDS to!

...STYLES: Oh, my GOD, Gohan just whipping Cena HARD into that ring post...this
offense in unrelenting by Gohan right now, Cena may not be able to withstand too
much more.

COACH: Cena now knows, just what it means, to be in the ring, with the true
thing, with a real talent, such as Gohan Sonn.

...STYLES: And here comes John Cena, coming back after Gohan’s almost
unstoppable offense.

KING: Cena is on his way to becoming the new CWE Champion.

...STYLES: CENA, GETS GOHAN UP FOR THE F-U!!

KING: CENA, SAYING TO GOHAN YOU CAN’T SEE ME!!

...STYLES: Wait a second, that’s Meryl out here, what the hell is she doing out
here now?

COACH: I have no idea, whatever she’s doing, it caught the attention of Cena.

...KING: She was used as a shield at the Royal Rumble, tonight, she is being
used as a distraction.

...STYLES:...being used may not be the words for it, no one is forcing her out
here...and she’s bad mouthing Cena, but why?

...KING: I don’t get this at all, Joey. One night she was scared to death by
what Gohan was doing to her, tonight she’s out here basically HELPING---!

STYLES: WAIT A SECOND, GOHAN, TIGHTS AND THE ROPES, ROLLING CENA UP!! [three]
OH, C’MON!!!!!! GOHAN HAS RETAINED, AND IT MAY BE ON MERYL’S ASSIST!!

...COACH: For whatever reason Meryl had being out here, the smoke has cleared,
with Gohan, retaining the CWE Championship.

STYLE: But the question remains, why was Meryl out here, helping the person she
was being being held hostage by, just one night ago.

{one more split screen of Meryl and Gohan is shown to end the video}

[end the RAW Rebound]

They go to a commercial break for two minutes or so, then come back the show,
with Jedite already in the ring with his titantron nameplate coming up onscreen

COLE: Back on Friday Night SmackDown, I didn’t expect to see Jedite out here
tonight, but we’re going to be seeing him now, I have no clue WHY, though?

JEDITE: [now with a mic in his hands] Ok, let me get this straight! Last Sunday,
I went into the Rumble, and every single person in that ring, went and screwed
me, out of what I deserved, which is the CWE World Heavyweight Championship
match, at Wrestlemania. NOOO!! We would rather have a WOMAN, try to represent
the company, represent SmackDown. Hell, why not, we already have a damn DOG
holding that title, and a primitive CAVEMAN, hold it, before THAT!! I don’t know
what the hell is WORSE! But yet, someone with the caliber such as myself, won’t
be representing SmackDown, like he should, he’s stuck, with everyone, being told
to gang up after the one person, that can help carry SmackDown, into the new
generation. So, what I want to do, is to prove to EVERYONE, that I can carry
this company. I want anyone that is back there, anyone that wants to face me, it
can be that caveman, Koga, it can be a woman, like Faye, Reelena, hell, it can
be that musclehead FREAK, Lashly! I don’t care. I just want--!

BG: [BONG!!] I’M THE BOOGEYMAN/AND I’M COMIN’ TO GETCHA (OOO)

COLE: OH, MY GOD!! I DON’T THINK JEDITE WAS EXPECTING –THIS-!!

TAZZ: I don’t think I was expecting this! The Boogeyman, of ALL people,
answering Jedite’s challenge?

COLE: Well, Jedite DID say ANYBODY, and the Boogeyman is SOMEBODY, I GUESS!

TAZZ: I don’t know if this guy is a human being. He’s a damn whack job, he eats
WORMS, he’s got that weird-ass dance of his, RIGHT THERE, JUKING AND JIVING!!
That clock that he bashes on his head, breaking the glass!

COLE: Those fumes are putrid, him heading out here, Jedite doesn’t know WHAT
he’s got himself into here, he may want to take those words back that he would
face ANYONE!

TAZZ: Well, Jedite, anyone who hasn’t been watching the CWE for a few years, may
have thought that Jedite hasn’t changed from his male chauvinist ways, and in a
way he hasn’t.

COLE: This is no woman, I can guarantee you that.

TAZZ: THANK YOU, EINSTIEN, I’m glad to see you’re paying attention, I don’t
think this guy is a human being, as I said once before!

COLE: Well, the Boogeyman is in the ring, those fumes still rank in this arena,
I think I’m gonna be sick by those alone.

TAZZ: Is this a match, Cole?

COLE: I think it is, referee Bill Hussey, or CWE exclusive referee is in the
ring, I GUESS this is a match, as Jedite, backing himself into the corner, I
don’t think he wants anything to do with the Boogeyman.

TAZZ: No kidding, Cole. Imagine if you come out here, thinking that you got
screwed out of the Royal Rumble match, only for the next night to ask for anyone
to face him, and instead of getting someone like Jessie or Misty or Lashly, JBL,
Angle, Koga, Inuyasha, you get a guy who eats worms, maggots, CANCEROUS MOLES if
you want to bring the WWE into it, eating that humongous mole off of Jillian’s
face.

COLE: OK OK!! Enough with THAT, Jedite, right now, to go for some sort of
wrestling match, trying to do something against this guy, a drop kick, buy the
Boogeyman, with enough strength, to push away Jedite, just laughing away,
Jedite, back into the opposite corner.

TAZZ: I don’t think that’s gonna help you here, Jedite.

Suddenly, the Boogeyman goes into his tights and pulls out a fistful of night
crawler worms!

COLE: OH MY GOD!!

TAZZ: OH NO!!

COLE: I’M GONNA BE SICK!!

TAZZ: I think Jedite is already getting sick!

The Boogeyman than puts that entire fistful of worms INTO HIS MOUTH AND STARTS
CHEWING!!

COLE: OH MY GOD, HE’S EATING THOSE WORMS!!

TAZZ: Those are night crawlers, maggots, worm phial and worm juice, in his
mouth, he’s loving every second of them in his mouth.

COLE: The Boogeyman, oh my God, I’m gonna vomit, I think Jedite is gonna do the-
--!

Suddenly, the Boogeyman, in a split-second, spits the worms out right in
Jedite’s face.

TAZZ: HOLY CRAP!!

COLE: OH MY GOD, THE BOOGEYMAN JUST SIPIT THOSE WORMS INTO JEDITE’S FACE, THE
EYES INTO THE MOUTH!!

TAZZ: WORM JUICE ALL OVER HIM!!

COLE: NORMALLY YOU WOULD GET A DISQUALIFICATION, BUT WHO WOULD ACTUALLY
DISQUALIFIY A GUY WHEN YOU’RE GROSSED OUT THAT MUCH?!

TAZZ: Maybe Bill Hussey is just freaked out to really care at this point.

COLE: Oh, wait a minute, Boogeyman has him up---PUMP HANDLE SLAM CONNECTING, AND
HERE’S THE COVER---AND THIS ONE IS OVER, JUST LIKE THAT!!

CHIMEL: Here is your winner, The Boogeyman!

COLE: Oh my God, that was just plain disgusting to even look at when the
Boogeyman spit those worms all over the face of Jedite, blinding him, and then
the pump handle slam, did him in!

TAZZ: Oh my God, Cole, the Boogeyman is getting BACK the worms that he spit in
Jedite’s face and putting them BACK into his mouth, oh my GOD this is gross,
disgusting, this guy is a damn whack job, I know the WWE found this guy, but did
the CWE have to get this guy, too?

COLE: Well, this guy, the Boogeyman, notherless, picks up the win over Jedite,
who only thought that he was being screwed out of the Rumble win, but folks,
someone who really WAS screwed out of a shot at Wrestlemania was Chris Benoit.
Tuxedo mask has earlier in the night lost his South East Asian title to Sango,
and he was quite angry, and decided to take it out on anyone [transistion into
the Royal Rumble still picture flashback] in the Rumble. That was, until Chris
Benoit came into the Rumble, and they have a good fight in the Rumble, but
Triple H got eliminated from the Rumble, and what happened was that Triple H,
had issues with the officials about how he got eliminated. In the meantime,
Chris Benoit had supposedly eliminated Mask, but look at the officials on that
side of the ring, they did not see Mask get eliminated cleanly, so Mask quickly
slips back into the ring, and just eliminates Benoit out of the Rumble with a
steel chair to boot, and officials saw that. It was later that Mask got
eliminated by Jessie Malor, but that sting was still there for Benoit.

TAZZ: No doubt, Triple H kept the officials busy long enough to see Mask’s feet
hit the floor after going over the top rope, being crafty, went back in and
eliminated Benoit, using that chair, don’t know how he was able to grab that
chair or how he got it. But he was eliminated, and refs saw THAT!

COLE: And Benoit should’ve been a part of the Royal Rumble match, my belief, he
was one of my favorites to win the Rumble, but here tonight, there will be a
number one contenders match. [transition into the SmackDown avatar match
graphic]. Tuxedo Mask, Chris Benoit, there will be a one fall to the finish
tonight, winner is going to get a shot at the title at No Way Out from Detroit,
and that match is going to be NEXT, on SmackDown!

They go into a two minute commercial, then return to the show.

YOUNG BUCK (BG): I know you gonna let me shine n get mine/ know you gonna let me
in wit this nine/I know you gonna let me smoke up my weed/I know you gonna let
me drink wit no I.D [Tuxedo Mask comes out to "Let Me In" by Young Buck and
scans the crowd as he comes out of the curtain, his titantron-nameplate graphic
showing up]

CHIMEL: [as the bell sounds] THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDUALED FOR ONE FALL
AND IT IS FOR THE NUMBER ONE CONTENDERS POSITION AT NO WAY OUT!! INTRODUCING
FIRST, HE WEIGHS IN AT 254 POUNDS, HE IS DARIEN CHIBA, TUXEDO MASK!! [crowd
boos]

COLE: This, I think, will be payback for what happened last Sunday at the Rumble
for Benoit. I think that if Benoit has his way, he will be going after Inuyasha
for the World Heavyweight Championship, and I think, that Tuxedo Mask, deserves
all of what he has been doing since coming to SmackDown via the Draft Lottery
one half-year ago.

TAZZ: Cole, I don’t think anyone wants to be reminded about the break up felt
around the WORLD between him and Serena, we can’t just show bits and pieces of
that, Cole. We have to show that entire attack, and that is something I don’t
ever want to see again.

COLE: For those people who didn’t see it, he ended a premeditated assault on his
lover, Sailor Moon, when he did the Rose Thorn on her into a damn electrician’s
table.

TAZZ: But that wasn’t all that he has done. That woke up a new side of him,
Cole. He made sure that he was going to be remembered as a complete jerk.

COLE: No Mercy, Tuxedo Mask injured Misty’s neck to the point where she might
not be in the ring again, with numerous steel chair shots to the neck of Misty,
and then he stole that CWE South East Asian title from her then, and then, of
course, if it wasn’t for Rikku’s then unfortunate miscue, Yuna would be with
that SEA Title, but Sango made sure he didn’t do his trickery on her and Sango
became the SEA Champ, and it was because of that loss, that Mask became irate,
and that led to the Benoit screwing in the Rumble, and what has brought us to
now.

TAZZ: Benoit is not that easy to beat, I think Mask got lucky, he blindsided
Benoit, he won’t have that chance here tonight.

COLE: I think there will be a LOT different outcome here tonight.

OUR LADY PIECE <BG>: //THERE'S NO HOLDING ME BACK /I’M NOT DRIVEN BY FEAR/IM
JUST DRIVEN BY ANGER

Chris Benoit comes out to “Whatever” by Our Lady Peace. Titantron nameplate
comes up as the fans cheer him loudly.

CHIMEL: AND HIS OPPONENT, RESIDING IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA, WEIGHING IN AT 236
POUNDS, THE RABID WOLVERINE, CHRIS, BENOIT!!

COLE: AND THIS IS THE PERSON WHO I THINK SHOULD’VE BEEN ALLOWED TO COME BACK
INTO THE RUMBLE!! IF IT WASN’T FOR TUXEDO MASK, BENOIT, I THINK, WAS ON HIS WAY
TO WINNING THE ROYAL RUMBLE, AND I KNOW I’M SAYING IT A LOT, BUT IT’S WORTH
RESTATING, DUE TO JUST WHAT TOOK PLACE, AND JUST HOW CLOSE BENOIT GOT TO WINNING
THE RUMBLE!!

TAZZ: He deserved it, Cole. No doubt about it, but tonight, he’s got a huge
chance to getting to another championship match, it could be Benoit against
Inuyasha at No Way Out. And Cole, I think I’m going to be cheering Benoit on in
this match because of the match at Wrestlemania we may see should Benoit get
past Tuxedo mask and goes to win the World Heavyweight Title at No Way Out.

COLE: That will be a tremendous match at Wrestlemania. Marlene Angel versus
Chris Benoit, but we don’t know what Marlene will do just yet as it pertains to
just where she’ll go, you heard earlier tonight, Gohan from RAW, on our own
SmackDown, basically try to bait Marlene to come after him, and he should be
ashamed of himself as to how he just came out and said that SmackDown was the
inferior show.

TAZZ: He’s talking out of his you-know-what, Cole. I think that SmackDown stole
the show at the Rumble, and I think we’ll get a hell of a match here tonight,
SmackDown is on a damn ROLE!!

COLE: Well, referee Nick Patrick is getting this matchup underway, and for Chris
Benoit to even fathom getting to the main event at Wrestlemania, he has to get
past Tuxedo Mask tonight, who we can talk down on him all we want, but bottom
line is that he does know how to use his head and his size to his advantage, in
the ring, to win.

TAZZ: Oh, no doubt, Cole. He has been getting win after win here on SmackDown
since coming over from RAW, and that horrific break up we saw when he came over,
right away he made an impact here on SmackDown.

COLE: Tieup, center of the ring, both of these men both jockeying for position,
and Benoit, in the corner, Mask has until the count of five to break up the hold
before a disqualification happens, and Mask isn’t going to let that happen to
him, but he –will- cheap shot you, like he did there, punches straight to
Benoit, look for him on doing that all throughout this match, Irish whip, other
side, Benoit’s back hit the turnbuckle—BUT BENOIT, CAPALIZED ON THE MISTAKE BY
TUXEDO MASK, WITH A BIG CLOTHESLINE, and now Benoit, on the attack.

TAZZ: And look for Benoit to bring it right to Darien here in this match, his
smash mouth style--!

COLE: WOAH HOA!! A stinging chop right to the neck of Mask--!

CROWD: WOOO!!

COLE: And ANOTHER one, Tazz, you know what those chops feel like.

TAZZ: And they freaking HURT, too, Cole. There is no way you can BLOCK that, and
Mask knows what feels like, he’s felt them before last Sunday at the Royal
Rumble.

COLE: Benoit now, elbow right to the arm, and now another one, as he starts to
go to work on that shoulder early, perhaps wanting to end it early by using the
Crippler Crossface.

TAZZ: And using that Fujiwara Armbar, bending the arm right at the shoulder
joint, that is very effective in dislocating that shoulder blade.

COLE: Of course, both of these two know what it takes to become champions, we
know of Chris Benoit, WWE World Heavyweight Champion for most of 2004, starting
at Wrestlemania 20. Tuxedo mask was also the CWE Champion at one point in 2000,
when he was with the Devil Family, which was one of the most influential groups
ever in the CWE. So both Benoit and Mask have been to the promised land before,
and they want to once again.

TAZZ: And you can see Benoit, using that armbar still, but Mask, trying to take
some of that pressure off of that arm--!

COLE: LOOK AT THIS, MASK HAS THE ROLL UP, TWO, AND BENOIT, KICKED OUT BEFORE
TWO, SMART MOVE ON THE PART OF Mask, to try to reverse that into a pinfall
attempt.

TAZZ: And we have said how smart Mask is, and how much of a fighter he is. He is
not one to use wrestling holds to beat you. He just likes to ground you and
pound away at you, like he is right now with Benoit.

COLE: Kicks to the midsection goes Mask, and Benoit, crunched over, and to the
near side, and tried for the knee to the FACE, BENOIT COUNTERED into a leg drag
take down, and now right back into that armbar, bending the arm at the shoulder,
and now this time, Tuxedo Mask wisely, gets to the bottom rope, Benoit has a
five count to break that, waits until the count of four to get that broken.

TAZZ: And Cole, did you see that look in Benoit’s eyes as he kept that hold on
Mask as long as he could? He looked as vicious as ever, he wants that revenge,
he wants to make this win worthwhile, not just to get a title shot, but also in
order to get sweet revenge, as you said earlier, for that Rumble screw job.

COLE: Certainly, Benoit is wanting, tasting, sensing that he can go to
Wrestlemania to main event it in one form or another, and Tuxedo Mask, now,
using the ropes to get back to his feet, here comes BENOIT, BUT MASK, SAW HIM
COMING, BACK BODY DROP ALL THE WAY TO THE OUTSIDE, AND JUST LIKE THAT, THE TIDE
OF THIS MATCH, HAS SHIFTED MOMENTUM!!

TAZZ: Oh, look out. He’s going out there to meet Benoit.

COLE: That’s not where you want to be if you’re Chris Benoit, anything on that
outside of the ring is an ally to Tuxedo Mask, he will use anything he CAN,
INCLUDING THE RING ITSELF, SHOVING BENOIT RIGHT INTO THAT RING BACK FIRST!!

TAZZ: And remember, Cole, that surgically repaired neck of Benoit, Mask knows of
that, and is going after that now.

COLE: And sliding in and out of the ring, breaking Nick Patrick’s count, and
Mask, with Ben-OIT, DRIVING HIS BACK, INTO THE STEEL RING POST, AND ALL OF A
SUDDEN, CHRIS BENOIT’S CHANCES OF GETTING A TITLE SHOT IN DETROIT ARE FADING!!

TAZZ: That neck, that spine, has become a red bull’s-eye on Benoit, and Mask
knows it right now, he wants to win this match, prove that he really CAN beat
Benoit, oh, look OUT!!

COLE: IRISH WHIPPED BENOIT RIGHT INTO THOSE STEEL STEPS, THOSE VERY SAME BLOOD
STAINED STEEP STEPS THAT WE HAVE BEEN ELUDING TO ALL NIGHT LONG, AND NOW THOSE
STEEL STEPS, MIGHT HAVE BEEN BENEFICIAL TO MASK’S CHANCES TO GET A TITLE SHOT AT
THE JOE IN DETROIT!!

TAZZ: Once again, that ten count of the ref’s is broken, this is exactly what
we’re talking about, Cole. This has become a heaven of allies for Tuxedo Mask.

COLE: But wait a minute, Tazz. Mask got back into the ring and headed for the
top turnbuckle.

TAZZ: I don’t know what he has in mind, this could be a mistake, WATCH OUT!!

COLE: AND MASK CAME, BUT BENOIT, MOVED OUT OF THE WAY, MASK ONLY CAUGHT THE
STEEL BARRICADE ON THE WAY DOWN!!

TAZZ: And now both Benoit and Mask are laid out outside the ring, what if this
turns out to be a double countout, who will Inuyasha be facing then.

COLE: Who WILL be facing Inuyasha from the Joe in Detroit February the 19th? Who
will make it to No Way Out, if ANYBODY?! We’ll find out, when we return, to
SmackDown.

They take the final two minute break, then return to SmackDown.

COLE: Back on SmackDown, this number one contenders match for the World
Heavyweight Championship match at No Way Out hangs in the balance, and right
now, Tuxedo Mask, driving that knee, right into the mid back area of Chris
Benoit, and ever since Mask took Benoit outside the ring and used the ring as
his ally, that all the momentum just shifted, and you did see that Mask did miss
with a high risk maneuver, but that didn’t help matters any, because Mask got
back into the ring first, and was able to start mounting this offense that he
has been utilizing all throughout the break.

TAZZ: And you will see that Mask is working on that upper back. Benoit’s neck
problems have been thoroughly documented, and if you can get to that neck and
that spine of Benoit, you can definitely start utilizing those moves like Mask
is doing, torking on that back.

COLE: And remember, this match came because Mask was thrown out of the Rumble
last Sunday, but because the referees never saw him hit the floor, he slid back
into the ring with a steel chair, and smacked Benoit with it, and he was
eliminated. Mask, working on the lower back, and now Mask, back to his feet, and
clubbing blows to the back of the neck, as he backs Benoit into the corner.

TAZZ: And you might think that right now, that Mask may just get that title shot
anyway, because right now, he’s got Benoit right where he wants him.

COLE: Mask, with a punch, but Benoit ducked underneath it, and now with a
STINGING CHOP TO THE CHEST, AND ANOTHER ONE, BENOIT, TRYING TO MOUNT SOME SORT
OF –COMEBACK---!

TAZZ: WOW!!

COLE: BUT MASK, JUST SHOVES BENOIT BACK, AND HE LANDED RIGHT ON HIS NECK AS HE
WENT DOWN!!

TAZZ: This could be the chance he wanted, Cole.

COLE: And Mask INTO THE COVER, TWO, AND BENOIT, JUST, -JUST-, WAS ABLE TO GET
THE SHOULDER UP!!

TAZZ: Mask was smart to get into that cover, Cole. And look at this, back onto
the attack here, with those hard blows to the neck, he is a brawler, he
continues to use those blows to his advantage.

COLE: And now Mask, HARD IRISH WHIP INTO THE TURNBUCKLE, BENOIT MET IT BACK
FIRST, AND THE NECK MAY HAVE BEEN EVEN MORE INJURED, BECAUSE OF THAT here’s the
cover, this could be ALL, but Benoit, knowing where he was in that ring, got his
foot on the bottom rope.

TAZZ: Benoit, great ring presence, knows where he is in that ring at all times.

COLE: Mask is doing all he can at this point, to put Benoit away---swinging neck
breaker, could THAT put Benoit away, TWO, and at two and a half, Benoit kicked
out, and you have to believe, that Mask feels that he is one moment away from
going to No Way Out to face Inuyasha for the World Heavyweight Title, but he has
to put Benoit away, something that he cannot do right now, but he’s again, still
trying to wring that neck.

TAZZ: And this I think is smart by Mask, stay on Benoit, you know he’s not going
to give up on you, you know that he is going to fight to stay in this match
until he cannot anymore, until he’s passed out or something, so you use the
pinfall attempts to make him exert energy by kicking out, you go for that
surgically repaired neck whenever you can. He’s not a technical wrestler, but
Mask, like him or not, is a smart son of a you-know-what. He can get the damn
job done, but look at Benoit.

COLE: Benoit, trying to fight back, elbows to the gut, and now Benoit, with A
BEAUTIFUL DDT, THAT MAY BE THE OPENING THAT BENOIT MIGHT HAVE NEEDED, MASK HELD
ONTO THAT HOLD A LITTLE TOO LONG!!

TAZZ: I don’t think so, Cole. Benoit cannot follow through into a pin cover,
because of that neck. He cannot follow up in any way, because Mask had been
going after that neck for so long!

COLE: What a match we got for the number one contendership of the World
Heavyweight Title at No Way Out from Reading, Pennsylvania! Chris Benoit, felt
as if he got screwed out of the potential Royal Rumble victory by Tuxedo Mask,
and right now, the tide could shift in his favor if he can get back up and
capitalize on this opening, Benoit is back up, and now Mask, back to his feet,
as well, AND BENOIT IS GOING FOR THE SHARPSHOOTER, BUT MASK IS BLOCKING HIM!!

TAZZ: BENOIT, TRYING TO END THIS THING, MASK DOING A HELL OF A JOB AND BLOCKING
THIS THING!!

COLE: AND MASK COUNTERS IT INTO AND INSIDE –CRADLE- BUT BENOIT KICKS OUT AT TWO
AND A HALF!!

TAZZ: I agree with you, Cole, what a damn good match that we have going on right
here.

COLE: Mask, goes for a clothesline, Benoit ducked, drop toe hold, AND HERE WE GO
AGAIN, TRYING FOR THE SHARPSHOOTER, AND BENOIT HAS TO ROLL MASK OVER ONTO HIS
BELLY IN ORDER TO LOCK IT IN!!

TAZZ: AND HE’S GOT THE LEGS CLASPED, LOCKED IN, BUT HE’S GOT TO ROLL HIM OVER,
MASK AGAIN TRYING TO STOP HIM FROM DOING SO!!

COLE: BENOIT, JUST A FEW MOMENTS AWAY---BUT MASK, SHOVED BENOIT OFF OF HIM, AND
IN DOING SO, BENOIT INAVERTENTLY TOOK OUT THE REFEREE, IN THAT TURNBUCKLE!!

TAZZ: Oh my God, did he EVER, we might need another referee out here.

COLE: Benoit saw what just took place. And now going back—BUT TUXEDO MASK,
CLUBBING BENOIT WITH THAT DAMN WAND TYPE OBJECT THAT HE USED BEFORE TO WIN THAT
SOUTH EAST ASIAN TITLE, WE STILL HAVE NO CLUE WHAT IT IS, BUT IT BROUGHT BENOIT
TO THE MAT, AND THAT WAS A BLOW TO THE NECK, OH WAIT A MINUTE, MASK IS GOING FOR
THE KILL!!

TAZZ: ROSE –THORN-!!

COLE: ROSE THORN CONNECTING, AND HE’S INTO THE COVER, BUT MASK, THERE’S NO
REFEREE!!

TAZZ: I don’t think he realizes that the ref is out COLD.

COLE: Maybe he thought that the ref was out, but not too much that he could get
the cover after hitting the Rose Thorn, but the ref is clearly still down, and
now Mask realizes just what has happened, and is coming out here!

TAZZ: Grabbing that steel chair, Cole, this is going to be bad!

COLE: Mask, going to end Benoit’s career, maybe---WAIT A MINUTE!! THAT CAN’T
BE!!

TAZZ: MISTY’S OUT HERE, WITH HER OWN STEEL CHAIR---OH MY GOD!!

COLE: ON THE HEAD WITH THAT STEEL CHAIR!! MISTY IS BACK ON SMACKDOWN!!

TAZZ: I THOUGHT SHE MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO WRESTLE AGAIN BECAUSE OF WHAT MASK DID
TO HER, BUT MISTY IS STILL IN THAT RING!!

COLE: DEVIL DROP ON THE STEEL CHAIR, AND MISTY GOT BOTH STEEL CHAIRS OUT OF THE
RING, REMEMBER THE CHAIR MASK WAS GOING TO USE, MISTY HAD HER OWN EQUAALIZER,
AND NOW MISTY HAS REVIVED BENOIT AND THE REFEREE!!

TAZZ: I DON’T BELIEVE THIS, COLE!!

COLE: BENOIT, GETTING BACK UP AFTER THE WAND STRIKE, AND HE SEES MASK IN A BAD
WAY---AND HE LOCKS IN THE CROSSFACE, HE’S GOT THE CROSSFACE LOCKED IN!!

TAZZ: IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING, COLE, THERE’S NO WAY OUT OF THIS!!

COLE: AND NICK PATRICK IS REVIVED, IN A WAY, THERE’S NO WHERE FOR MASK TO GO----
AND MASK TAPS OUT TO THE CROSSFACE, AND NO WAY OUT, IS GOING TO BE WHERE BENOIT
IS GOING!! FOR THE WORLD, HEAVYWEIGHT, CHAMPIONSHIP!!

CHIMEL: HERE IS YOUR WINNER AND NUMBER ONE CONTENDER FOR THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT
CHAMPIONSHIP, CHRIS, BENOIT!! [crowd cheers loudly]

COLE: LAST SUNDAY, IT WAS MASK WHO SCREWED BENOIT, TONIGHT, THE TABLES WERE
TURNED, AND MISTY, HAS JUST GOTTEN REVENGE OF HER OWN!! SHE HAS RETURNED, THE
HARDCORE PRINCESS IS BACK ON FRIDAY NIGHTS!! AND MASK GOT SCREWED HIMSELF, AND
BENOIT HAS A WORLD TITLE SHOT COMING AT NO WAY OUT!!

TAZZ: NO DOUBT, AND I’M PROUD OF MISTY COMING BACK AND GETTING HER REVENGE, GOOD
FOR HER, WE DIDN’T THINK SHE WOULD COME BACK TO THE SQUARED CIRCLE, BUT HERE SHE
IS, WE DON’T KNOW THE TRUE EXTENT OF HER INJURY STILL, IF SHE IS ONE HUNDRED
PERCENT, BUT BOTTOM LINE IS THAT BENOIT, IS GOING TO FACE INUYASHA---!!

NICKLEBACK <BG>: YOU KNOW I CAN’T BE THERE/IT’S TIME THAT YOU GO/I SWORE NOT TO
COME/BUT I’M HERE AFTER ALL [Inuyasha comes out to Nickleback’s “Because Of
You”]

COLE: WAIT A MINUTE!!

TAZZ: Inuyasha, speaking of the World Heavyweight Champion.

COLE: And Kagome is STILL being dragged out here by the arm by that damn
Inuyasha, remember that Kagome questioned Inuyasha’s change of attitude during
the past half-year once she came here because of the trade between RAW and
SmackDown, and she decided to back Koga because of Inuyasha’s ever declining
attitude towards her, but Inuyasha has Kagome in tow, coming out here, maybe to
confront his opponent at No Way Out.

TAZZ: And Chris Benoit is staring right at Inuyasha, I don’t think he cares at
ALL what this personal relationship is right now, or what there IS of one,
between him and Kagome, he looks at him as his opponent, for the richest prize
on SmackDown.

COLE: And Inuyasha told Kagome to stay put or else right near our announcing
table.

TAZZ: I don’t know what kind of control thing Inuyasha has on her now, because
she isn’t even saying one word right now, like some sort of parent to his kid.

COLE: That’s not his property, that a human being.

TAZZ: Whatever the case may be between the two, Inuyasha is now in the ring
confronting Benoit, I don’t think this is wise.

COLE: Benoit, with a furry of rights on Inuyasha, Inuyasha, being back into the
far side, and Inuyasha, whipped to the far side, Inuyasha using the ropes to
stop himself, and now a rake of the eyes.

INUYASHA: GET THAT BELL, KAGOME!! [camera shoots to Kagome, who rapidly shakes
her head “no”] I SAID NOW!! [still a shake of her head] YOU KNOW WHAT I’LL DO IF
YOU DON’T DO EXACTLY AS I SAY!! I’LL END IT ALL RIGHT HERE AND RIGHT NOW!! –DO
IT-!! [Kagome then quickly, as if she was given a signal to act, runs towards
the timekeepers table and grabs the bell from the table and hands it to
Inuyasha]

TAZZ: What does he mean by that? That he’ll end it here and now if she didn’t
follow his order?

COLE: All I know is that he has that ring bell as a result, Benoit doesn’t have
a clue that Inuyasha has that bell---BUT HE DOES NOW, AS INUYASHA, JUST STRUCK
BENOIT IN THE HEAD WITH THAT RING BELL, BENOIT IS DOWN AND OUT, MAY BE BUSTED
OPEN, AND NOW INUYASHA, TELLING KAGOME TO GET INTO THE RING---WAIT A MINUTE,
KOGA IS IN THE RING, INUYASHA WITH HIS BACK TURNED, STILL WORRIED ABOUT KAGOME,
KOGA IS JUST STALKING INUYASHA!!

TAZZ: THE GUY WHO LOST HIS TITLE AT THE RUMBLE!! HE’S NOT HAPPY EITHER!!

COLE: AND INUYASHA, TURNS AROUND---THE DEATH DEALER CONNECTS!!

TAZZ; THAT FIREMAN’S CARRY INTO A PILEDRIVER POWERBOMB DEAL!! VERY EFFECTIVE,
ONLY KOGA KNOWS HOW TO DO THAT ONE!!

COLE: AND NOW KOGA HAS THE MIC!!

KOGA: INUYASHA!! YOU FORGOT, DID YOU?! YOU CAN’T WORRY ABOUT BENOIT JUST YET!!
BECAUSE YOU NEED TO –MAKE- IT TO NO WAY OUT!! NEXT WEEK, I TOLD TEDDY LONG, THAT
I’M ENVOKING MY REMATCH CLAUSE!! YOU AND ME, FOR –MY- TITLE, NEXT WEEK!! [he
drops the mic as his music plays]

COLE: OH MY, WHAT AN ANNOUNCEMENT!! KOGA, ENVOKING HIS REMATCH CLAUSE FOR NEXT
WEEK!! WE’LL GET THE RUMBLE REMATCH FOR NEXT WEEK, THE TITLE ON THE LINE, NOW
THE QUESTION WILL BE WHO WILL BENOIT FACE?!

TAZZ: BUT KAGOME WAS UNEASY ABOUT THAT, I DON’T KNOW WHAT SHE IS GOING TO BE
THINKING!! I THINK SHE SHOOK HER HEAD AGAIN, I DON’T THINK SHE WANTED KOGA TO DO
THAT, COLE!!

COLE: NOTHERLESS, THE MATCH IS MADE!! NEXT WEEK, WE WILL SEE KOGA VERSUS
INUYASHA FOR THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP, AN ANNUNCEMENT THAT ENDS WHAT
HAS BEEN A WILD NIGHT ON SMACKDOWN!! THANK YOU FOR WATCHING, AND GOOD NIGHT,
FROM READING, PENNSYLVANA, SEE YOU NEXT WEEK, [SmackDown copyright logos appear
on screen] FOR FRIDAY NIGHT SMACKDOWN, GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE!!

They focus on Koga for a few more seconds before they go to black and off the
air for the night.
