Ever since John Cena defeated JBL at
WrestleMania 21, the former WWE Champion has had a hard time coming to grips with his defeat.
JBL, after all, held the coveted championship for nearly 10 months. So he watched in horror as the young and talented Cena became a first-time WWE Champion and then had the audacity to alter the WWE Championship to reflect his hip-hop persona.
JBL has even gone as far as to continue to wear the old WWE Championship in recent weeks. But now, at Judgment Day, JBL can do something about it.
JBL outlasted Kurt Angle, Booker T and Big Show in a Fatal Fourway to emerge as the winner of the WWE Championship Series. So Cena's first WWE Championship defense will come against the same Superstar he took it from.
Cena, who has grown tired of JBL's constant verbal jabs, finally proposed an
"I Quit" Match for Judgment Day. A brutal match where the only way to claim victory is to make your opponent utter the phrase "I Quit."
Can Cena retain his WWE Championship, or will a wise veteran like JBL find a way to take back the championship and retire Cena's lavish spinner belt? Don't miss Judgment Day to get all of the answers.

First, Kurt Angle and Booker T ruined each other's chances at winning the WWE SmackDown! Championship Series.Then, Angle decided to make it personal.
That wicked combination proved more than enough to force the two
SmackDown! Superstars to face off in a match at
Judgment Day in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on May 22.
The problems between Angle and Booker T started two weeks ago when both were part of the Fatal Fourway in the United Kingdom to determine the No. 1 Contender for John Cena’s WWE Championship.
With the referee down, Angle blasted Booker T with a steel chair, getting him eliminated from the match. Moments later, Booker T walloped Angle, eliminating the Olympic Champ and ultimately giving the victory to former WWE Champion JBL.
“I felt like I was in contention just as much as Kurt,” Booker T said. “He got me eliminated with the chair, and at that point, it was over for me. All I had left was revenge. So I got even.”
Angle, a four-time WWE Champion, sees things a little differently.
“There’s a big difference,” Angle said. “I saw an opportunity during the match and I took it. What he did was wrong. He was out of the match and had no opportunity left so he stole mine. I should feel anger toward Booker, not the other way around.”
When
SmackDown! came to Trenton, New Jersey, on May 5, the tempers of both men really came to a boil. Booker T’s new wife Sharmell, who was been by her man’s side for a few weeks now, actually got in Angle’s face.
Angle insulted Sharmell, who in turn slapped Angle in the face, leading to a brawl outside the ring, where Angle nearly put Sharmell in the ankle lock.
“That’s Kurt’s nature,” Booker T said. “He has no class outside of the ring. In the ring, he’s one of the best, but outside, he’ll do anything to get me upset. But that whole incident just added fuel to my fire for Judgment Day.”
Angle had no apologies for his actions.
“This girl has been here for like a month and she walks around flapping her gums and acting like she runs the place,” Angle said. “I hope she's there to watch when I break her husband's ankle.”
Don't miss Judgment Day to see who gets the larger dose of revenge
When Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio met at WrestleMania 21 this past April, it was a friendly rivalry. Sure, both wanted to win, but they were still WWE Tag Team Champions together at the time of the match.
Things couldn’t be more different for their grudge match at
Judgment Day.
Here’s some of the back-story:
During the SmackDown! WWE Championship series, Eddie Guerrero cost Rey Mysterio a chance of winning his first-round match with JBL. At first, Eddie came out to protect Rey from Orlando Jordan, but when JBL hit Latino Heat with a cheap shot, Eddie lost it.
Guerrero stormed the ring and attacked JBL even though Mysterio appeared to be just seconds away from picking up the victory after connecting with a 619. Instead, Rey was disqualified.

Then, one week later, Mysterio interfered when Eddie Guerrero was taking on Kurt Angle in his Championship Series Match. Again, Rey was there to help, and was holding the same chair Angle nearly used on Guerrero.
Eddie was confused and thought Rey was out for revenge and that gave Angle just enough time to push Rey and the chair into Eddie and collect the easy win.

Things just got worse from there as Rey Mysterio & Eddie Guerrero would lose their WWE Tag Team Championship to newcomers MNM. The match would turn when Eddie got caught up outside the ring with Melina while Mysterio was double-teamed for the pin.

One week later, everything seemed well and good when Eddie and Rey seemingly made up and took on MNM for a WWE Tag Team Championship rematch. But Eddie was never himself during the match. At one point he tried to leave the ring, and then when he did return, and refused to accept Mysterio’s tag.
He then watched indifferently as Mysterio was brutally attacked after the match by MNM.

One week later, Guerrero viciously attacked Rey. After Mysterio defeated Chavo Guerrero in a Street Fight, Eddie came to the ring, but instead of putting their problems behind them, he created more by beating Rey bloody, ripping his mask and suplexing him on the steel steps.

Eddie claims things will just get worse at Judgment Day if Rey manages to make it to the ring. Don’t miss the May 22 pay-per-view to find out.
Carlito thought he had an offer Big Show couldn’t refuse.

On the
May 10 SmackDown!, Carlito invited Big Show to the Cabana and asked if the biggest Superstar on SmackDown! wanted to become his bodyguard.
Show basically laughed in his face, claiming he would play second banana to nobody on the roster. Carlito then grabbed one of his trademark apples and appeared ready to spit some chunks into Big Show’s face.
But before he could even take a bite, Show grabbed the apple and looked to turn the tables. The problem was that Carlito had tainted the apple, leaving Show sick to his stomach.
Show fell to the ground in pain as Carlito insulted and kicked him.
One week later, newcomer Matt Morgan accepted Carlito’s invitation to be hired muscle.
And Carlito may need him as Show demanded and was granted a match against Carlito at Judgment Day.
After stunning SmackDown! to win the WWE Tag Team Championship back on April 21, MNM will surely have its hands full for their first pay-per-view championship defense.
Charlie Haas & Hardcore Holly actually defeated MNM in non-title action just three days before Judgment Day. The week before, MNM teamed with Chavo Guerrero to defeat Holly, Haas and Paul London.
Haas & Holly will try and outmuscle the talented new tandem. And surely they’ll have to keep an eye on Melina, whose craftiness has already helped MNM win some big matches lately.
