Josh Matthews: Welcome to the world of Extreme, fans. I'm Josh Matthews and I am here with Matt Striker. Matt Striker: Great to be here as always, and even more excited tonight. Josh Matthews: That's right – we start out with Mr. McMahon's big announcement!

Vince McMahon
In-Ring Promo
Just like Raw the night before, this ECW show begins with Vince McMahon's music. As the music declares there is “no chance in hell”, Vince makes his way down to the ring. Once again, he gets a mixed reaction – plenty of cheers but also some boos. He climbs into the ring, struts across the stage, and once he has the microphone in hand, waves for the fans to shut the hell up.
Vince McMahon makes no effort to endear himself to the fans here, saying that since its inception, the ECW has pretty much been treated like the weak little brother of the WWE Universe. This draws boos, of course. Those boos grow louder as Vince says that ECW has been treated this way rightfully. The WWE Universe has been built upon the idea of competition, and ECW has quite simply never been truly competitive with the other two brands. Sure, there have been Extreme Superstars... but few who have compared to the biggest names on Raw and SmackDown. Extreme Superstars are never headlining WWE pay per view events. So things have to change...
Before Vince announces anything, he asks the entire ECW roster to come out. Its more of a demand, and there is a momentary delay while it happens. Everyone emerges – all of the Superstars, the managers, Abraham Washington, Tony Atlas, the Bella twins, the two new backstage interviews Courtney Taylor and Savannah, and General Manager Tiffany. They all congregate on the stage, some of them looking rather uncomfortable. The trio of Regal, Jackson, and Kozlov glare across the stage at ECW Champion Christian, while Paul Burchill looks ready to tear The Hurricane to pieces.
The Chairman tells the ECW roster that its proper they should be present for this announcement, as it will change the future of ECW. Maybe for the entire World Wrestling Entertainment. The fans should pay attention, because this is a moment they will all want to remember. Its time for a change in leadership. In Vince's opinion, ECW has long lacked strong leadership. Paul Heyman... He knew how to get things done. But since then – Armando Estrada, Teddy Long, and even current GM Tiffany have worried more about keeping what they had than trying to push forward ECW. Stating what has already become clear, McMahon says that the reason he is here on ECW is to introduce the new General Manager for the brand. The new GM who will take the brand to a new level, to make sure that Extreme competes directly with Raw and SmackDown.
That new General Manager is...

Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley
There is a shocked silence as Vince McMahon announces his daughter. She emerges, smirking, through the entryway. The gathered roster standing on the stage parts like the Red Sea to allow her to pass through as she heads down to the ring. As she walks down the ramp with the strut patented by Vince himself, the Chairman encourages – well, more demands – that the ECW roster show their new GM some respect. The gathered roster applauds, though it is clearly without much joy. No one seems quite sure what to make of the announcement. Except Tiffany, who is standing on the far right of the stage and losing a battle of trying to keep it together. The now-ex GM of ECW claps as she breaks down into tears, the Bella twins consoling her. The only worker applauding happily and without reservation is Yoshi Tatsu, who clearly has no clue what is going on.
Vince holds the ropes for his daughter, then receives a hug from her. He hands off the microphone. Stephanie begins by thanking the ECW roster from coming out for this. She wanted to tell them all of this in person, as opposed to them watching on a monitor in the back. For those concerned that she is an outsider and won't “get” the nature of ECW, she encourages them to remember that it was Stephanie who brought ECW into the WWE Universe in the first place. If it wasn't for here, the world of Extreme wouldn't be part of the WWE at all.
Stephanie says that she will ensure ECW matter in the WWE Universe. She will make it important. No more will the brand simply be the proving round for new WWE Superstars. She will make sure that ECW is represented on every pay per view. She promises that the WWE Unified Tag Team champions will appear on the brand, something that no other GM has managed. Under her guidance, ECW will no longer simply be “the third brand” of the WWE.
What she needs to emphasize to the roster and to the fans is that things are changing. Tonight is a chance for the roster to impress the new General Manager, as well as the Chairman of the WWE. So do you best, she warns...
Heeding the warning, the roster departs and heads into the back. The Bella twins are still consoling Tiffany, who has managed to pull herself together a bit.
Matt Striker: Stephanie is the new General Manager? That's fantastic! Josh Matthews: Sucking up already? Matt Striker: Absolutely.

The Hurricane vs Paul Burchill
The Hurricane starts out with plenty of quick offense, trying to keep the bigger British wrestler off balance. It works, but only for a few minutes. When Hurricane goes for a Northern Light's Suplex, Burchill ends up reversing into a suplex of his own. Hurricane tries to come back with more offense, but “The Ripper” is simply having none of it. He no-sells anything that Hurricane tries, simply overpowering his smaller “super” opponent. The Hurricane gets slammed around, until Burchill violently throws him over the top rope to the floor in front of the announcer's table. The ref admonishes the Brit, but this isn't the NWA so its not illegal. Ignoring the ref, “The Ripper” goes up to the top turnbuckle... and gets a huge pop from the fans as he lands a Shooting Star Press to the outside. Burchill then tosses his broken opponent back into the ring and covers him to compete the dominant win as Katie Lea celebrates for her brother outside the ring.
Paul Burchill Wins at 6:10 via Pinfall
Josh Matthews: Did you see the way Burchill just threw him out of the ring? I think he was actually trying to hurt The Hurricane there! Matt Striker: Did you see that Shooting Star Press? That's a two hundred and fifty pound man doing that! There are such great athletes here in the World of Extreme.

Abraham Washington, Tony Atlas, Vladimir Kozlov + Ezekiel Jackson
Abraham Washington Show
The Abraham Washington Show set is on the stage. Big Tony Atlas is in the background, ready to laugh. Washington begins by saying that he is thrilled with the appointment ECW's new General Manager. This generates some boos, simply for the overtly sucking-up way in which Washington says it he. Ignoring the fans, he continues to say that its time that ECW had a real General Manager, who is there for something more than her looks. As the General Manager of Florida Championship Wrestling – look it up! - Washington is looking forward to being able to learn from someone as knowledgeable, respected, and beautiful as Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley. Tony laughs at this, despite it not being intended as funny.
The host then brings out his guests for the evening – Vladimir Kozlov and Ezekiel Jackson. The two huge men take a seat on the couch, which barely contains the two of them. Washington asks the pair how they're doing tonight and gets no response. The Ruthless Roundtable simply glare at the host with cold, hard looks. The host gets a touch uncomfortable, so he makes a joke about how they communicate as a team when Kozlov doesn't really speak English and Jackson just doesn't talk. Tony laughs. Jackson then tells the pair they must make the greatest dinner guests ever. The host then suggests that the “silent duo” shtick when out with Laurel and Hardy. He goes on to ask if they've asked the new GM for a shot at the Unified Tag Team champions JeriShow... but oh, they don't talk so they couldn't ask!
Abraham Washington is suddenly surprised by someone standing behind him and clearing their throat... Its...

William Regal
As Tony Atlas laughs at the interruption, Abraham Washington instead seems very uncomfortable. He welcomes Regal to the show, but Regal just glares. The combination of Regal and the big duo on the couch all glaring makes Washington obviously fearful as he squirms in his seat a bit.
Very slowly, William Regal tells the host that he does not appreciate his two compatriots being invited out here without his permission. Because Regal represents the best interests of these two. And it obviously is not in their best interest to come out on this mockery of a show and have some Jerry Springer rip off try to embarrass the Roundtable. Washington starts to stammer out an apology, then stops and demands who Regal is calling a “Jerry Spring rip off”? Shaking his head, Regal motions for Kozlov and Jackson to follow him, and the two big men get up. Next time, just ask, Regal tells Washington and then he walks off the set, followed by his two big enforcers.
Washington says that's all the time they have for this week. Until next week... check out Florida Championship Wrestling! Tony laughs and its over.
Matt Striker: I don't think Abraham Washington made any friends with that show!

Courtney Taylor, Paul Burchill + Katie Lea Burchill
Backstage Interview
As Paul and Katie Lea Burchill stalk through a backstage hallway, the lovely Courtney Taylor chases them, trying to stop them for an interview. “The Ripper” finally stops and turns, glaring at the petite interviewer and demanding to know what she wants. Just a few quick questions, she assures the Brits. In his match earlier against The Hurricane, Burchill tossed his opponent over the top ropes and to the floor rather violently. Was he trying to hurt his opponent? After glaring at the blond for a moment, Burchill says that he doesn't have opponents... he has victims. And The Hurricane just became one. The rest of ECW better watch out.
With that, he stalks away. His sister gives one more hard look at Courtney, then follows. Poor Ms. Taylor is left standing in the hallway looking confused.
Matt Striker: No opponents, just victims. I love Burchill's attitude!

Tommy Dreamer, Goldust & Yoshi Tatsu vs William Regal, Vladimir Kozlov & Ezekiel Jackson
A fairly slow moving but entertaining six-man tag. The heel trio look good, with both Kozlov and Jackson look powerful and Regal looking both skillful and devious. Dreamer and Goldust are the whipping boys for the other team, with Tatsu being the most impressive. Yoshi batters Regal with a series of kicks at one point, requiring Jackson to jump in to save the veteran Englishman. Goldust gets hit with a big Samba Slam by Jackson outside the ring, after which Kozlov delivers an Iron Curtain in the ring for the pin.
Vladimir Kozlov Wins at 10:44 via Pinfall

Christian
In-Ring Promo
The ECW Champion gets a huge pop as he comes down to the ring for his match. He takes a microphone and addresses the fans. Christian says that he is a champion of the peeps, for the peeps. He listens to the peeps. He hears what they say. But he wants to make something very very clear. Because Christian has heard a few peeps saying that he's being “wasted” on ECW. That he should be on either SmackDown or Raw, chasing the WWE Championship or World Heavyweight belt. But he's perfectly happy here on ECW. More than happy, actually. He's home.
Christian climbs into the second turnbuckle and holds his big ECW Championship belt aloft. He says this 17 pound of platinum is the most beautiful belt in the entire World Wrestling Entertainment Universe. It is also the most sought-after. Because unlike the other belts on the other brands, this is the only one that the entire ECW roster wants. On Raw, for example, if you can't get the WWE Championship, you can always go after the United States Championship. Or find a partner and go after the Unified Tag Team titles. Or even put on a dress and compete for the Diva's championship. But here on ECW, its just this belt. On those other brands, its about playing politics and sucking up to get your chance. Not here on ECW. Here, everyone gets a chance so long as you have the talent. That's what ECW is about – talent.
Another thing about ECW – everyone is hungry. All these young guys, they want to prove themselves. The vets are just as determined. And Christian is the target. As the ECW champion, he's the standard-bearer. The figurehead. The man. The target. This belt here is the toughest 17 pounds in the whole WWE. And Christian promises to do whatever it takes to hang onto it.
Josh Matthews: I love that Christian loves ECW! Matt Striker: I love that you love that Christian loves ECW. Josh Matthews: Stop it.

Zach Ryder vs Christian
ECW Championship Match
Ryder actually gets a decent reaction from the crowd as he struts his way down to the ring. He disrespects the champion right from the start, getting in Christian's face. The match is fast-paced, competitive, and open. The champion does a good job of making the challenger look good. Both men get in a few pin attempts. Ryder looks like he might get the shock win after a Zach Attack, but Christian kicks out at the last possible moment. The champion then builds up to the comeback, ducking under a Rough Ryder leaping leg lariat attempt from the challenger and coming back with a Flying Shoryuken, followed by a Flashpoint forearm smash and then a DDT. A Killswitch is followed by the pin for the victory. After the match, Christian offers to shake Ryder's hand, but the defeated challenger instead shouts his “Woo woo woo, you know it!” at the champion and slides out of the ring.
Christian Wins at 14:11 via Pinfall

Sick show! I loved the matches they all had a good amount of description and told the story of the match. As for the proms they were also quite solid and had all the info needed to make them good. Steph as manager... shocked! I think you might be going somewheres with the all McMahon management front, but I'll have to wait and see I guess. Zach Ryder getting a push! Good I like his chances and def wanna see him as some sort of champion. The Ruthless Rountable are their usual selves no surprise, but maybe some other uprisings coming from other international talent in ECW? Awesome show... 8.5/10!
Thanks guy. Trying to have it "reflect" the real WWE for the first bit, which is why I'm using quite a number of matches from the actual shows. That will be reduced after the Hell in a Cell PPV. Also, I won't be doing anything with Superstars, at least for now. It is in the game, but its as a "B" show, so I tend to book it more just to give guys match time rather than to do anything with storylines.

Episode 528
Quote:
It is the episode of SmackDown that has been ten years in the making!
SmackDown celebrates its tenth anniversary in style, bringing some fantastic action to the Fleet Center in Boston. Its a once-a-decade show that will showcase the very best of the WWE Universe, all on one show. In fact, every WWE champion will be in action!
The present and future of the WWE will be facing off in a 10-man tag match that features talent from all three brands! ECW Champion Christian will captain a team comprised of Matt Hardy, MVP, Mark Henry, and Tommy Dream against a team captained by Christian's ECW rival, William Regal. Regal will have some of the WWE's best young talent on his side, including Legacy, Drew McIntyre, and one half of the Hart Dynasty, Tyson Kidd.
Former partners and friends John Morrison and The Miz will be on opposite sides of a six-man tag match, which will see the Intercontinental champion team up with the United States champion, along with the spark plug Evan Bourne. That trio takes on The Miz, Jack Swagger, and Dolph Zigger.
All of that pales in comparison to the main event, which just might be the most talent assembled in one WWE ring at a single time on television. WWE World Heavyweight champion CM Punk will team up with Randy Orton, Chris Jericho and the Big Show. That quartet takes on Triple H, Shawn Michaels, John Cena, and the Undertaker. This one guarantees fireworks just days before Hell in a Cell!
It won't just be the in-ring action that is memorable, however. Vince McMahon will be in Boston and he has another announcement. After changing the General Managers of both Raw and ECW earlier this week, Mr. McMahon has an announcement regarding the future of SmackDown. The chairman of the WWE has promised that SmackDown will never be the same!
Do not miss SmackDown's tenth anniversary celebration, only on My Network TV.

Vince McMahon
In-Ring Promo
For the third show this week, the show begins with the Chairman of the WWE making his way down to the ring. He climbs into the ring, struts around a bit, then takes the microphone. He tells the fans that he's had a pretty good week so far. A very good week. Two of the three brands have had changes in management and are now set to move into a new era for the WWE Universe. But that still leaves SmackDown to be dealt with. McMahon lets the sink in for a moment, then says that these kind of things are better done face-to-face. Its more fun that way. So he demands that General Manager Theodore Long come out to the ring

Theodore Long
The GM emerges quickly to a positive reception and makes his way down to the ring. He looks worried. He climbs into the ring and greets his boss, but quickly gets cut off. McMahon explains that when he made Long the GM of SmackDown for second time, back in April, he had high hopes. He was expecting great things. He was expecting aggression and innovation. Simply put, McMahon has been disappointed. That's why Long ended up on probation. And that whole stupid incident with screwing over The Undertaker last month almost got him fired... McMahon let's that hang, looking at the GM to see if he'll respond. Teddy looks like he wants to say something, but then he just nods his head.
By rights, you should be fired, McMahon growls.
But that's not going to happen, he says after letting the previous statement hang for a long moment. It seems that Teddy has some friends in the locker room who spoke to Vince this week to plead to keep him around. Long looks endlessly relieved. However, Vince isn't done. He says that Teddy will remain on probation until he proves that he can run SmackDown the way it deserves. And to make sure that Long lives up to expectations, Vince is assigning him an Assistant General Manager. But not just any Assistant General Manager... No, this will be one who gets things done. One who the fans and the wrestlers have to respect. A legend...

The crowd erupts as the very familiar sound of breaking glass plays, followed by music that belongs to a true legend...

Steve Austin
The man they call “Stone Cold” struts out onto the stage, the Boston crowd screaming their approval. He gets down to the ring in a hurry, then spends a moment going to each corner of the ring to motion at the fans. Then he finally grabs a microphone.
Austin starts by announcing he's back. The crowd goes insane, and takes a long time to quiet down again. He turns to Teddy Long, telling the GM that he's going to make sure Teddy does his job and does it damned well, or Stone Cold will be opening up a can of whoop ass. And that's the bottom line, because Stone Cold said so! The crowd erupts on cue at Austin spouting his catch-phrases. A relieved-looking Theodore Long shakes Austin's hand while McMahon grins with satisfaction.
Jim Ross: Stone Cold is back! I don't know just what to say! Todd Grisham: Isn't it usually “Stone Cold! Stone Cold! Stone Cold!” Jim Ross: Indeed it is!

DH Smith vs Batista
This one goes about how you'd expect, with “The Animal” controlling most of the action. The big youngster Smith does manage to get some offense of his own in, but it doesn't last long, even with Natalya trying to help her brethren out. A Batista Bomb puts Smith down for the pinfall. After the win, Batista holds up two fingers and makes the belt motion around his waist, apparently indicating that he and Rey Mysterio are going to win the Unified Tag Team belts at Hell in a Cell.
Batista Wins at 7:22 via Pinfall
Todd Grisham: What a huge addition to the SmackDown roster Batista has been! Jim Ross: It'll be bigger if Batista and Mysterio can win the Unified Tag Team championships on Sunday!

R-Truth, MVP + Mark Henry
Backstage Segment
R-Truth is in a small locker room, putting his bag down and looking around. There's a knock on the door and when he turns, its MVP and Mark Henry filling the open doorway. The duo are in street clothes, and they greet R-Truth like old friends. They talk for a moment, discussing how hyped they are for the 10th Anniversary of SmackDown. R-Truth admits he is disappointed that he isn't in a match tonight, but he's just happy to be here. MVP says they best go get ready for their own match, so they depart.
R-Truth goes back to his bag, but is suddenly sent flying. The camera turns and Drew McIntyre has rushed R-Truth....

Drew McIntyre
McIntyre continues the assault by putting the boots to R-Truth. The beat down is vicious but its also short. After a series of stomps, McIntyre stops to admire his work, grinning a bit. He then turns and walks out, in no particularly hurry, as R-Truth tries to pick himself up off the floor.
Todd Grisham: I think I understand what Mr. McMahon sees in Drew McIntyre... he's ruthless, just like Mr. McMahon! Jim Ross: You've got that right.

Cryme Tyme vs Kane & Mike Knox
A fairly standard short tag match. The team worker of Cryme Tyme gives them the advantage in the first few minutes, but the vicious power of Kane and Mike Knox soon come through. The victory comes from a surprise appearance by Dolph Ziggler at ringside, which provides just enough of a distraction to allow Knox to his a Knox Out on Shad Gaspard and grabs the pin.
Kane Wins at 6:21 via Pinfall

Maria, Dolph Ziggler, Kane & Dolph Ziggler
Backstage Segment
Maria is wandering through the backstage area when she finally comes upon Ziggler, Kane, and Knox. The trio have just come from the ring. They are talking conspiratorially, but it can't be heard as Maria bounces up to them. She grabs Dolph in a hug that clearly surprises him, and he half-shoves her away. She doesn't seem to mind, saying she wondered where he went. Then she turns to Knox and Kane, and asks Ziggler why he's hanging out with these two. Clearly annoyed, Ziggler says that he's trying to take care of some business so she should just run along. Maria nods with her big-eyed look, but does not leave. Shaking his head and looking exasperated, Ziggler explains to his girlfriend that she needs to understand that there are different areas of his life, and some of those don't include her. He then turns to the two big men beside him, saying that he has somewhere that they can talk in private, as he leads Kane and Knox away. Maria waits for a moment, and then follows.

Beth Phoenix & Michelle McCool vs Mickie James & Melina
The Divas tag match might have four of the top Divas, but its still a Divas match. The match is fairly short, with a good pace and constant action. The lack of teamwork between Phoenix and McCool dooms the team. An disagreement between the two of them allows James to hit a Long Kiss Goodnight roundhouse kick on McCool, and although Phoenix could interrupt the pin attempt, she chooses not to.
Mickie James Wins at 5:23 via Pinfall
Todd Grisham: That team of Beth Phoenix and Michelle McCool didn't have much in the way of teamwork! Jim Ross: You could certainly say that!

CM Punk gets a pretty negative reception as he comes out, holding up the WWF World Heavyweight championship victoriously. His smug demeanor makes the crowd hate him even more.
He begins by saying that its fitting that the 10th Anniversary of SmackDown celebration is tonight, just days before the Hell in a Cell pay per view. Because tonight they celebrate SmackDown's past. In two days, Punk will destroy The Undertaker in the Phenom's own match and they can all celebrate SmackDown's future... CM Punk. The Straight Edge world champion and the choice of a new generation.
When the boos die down, Punk tells the fans that he could never respect Jeff Hardy. Not as a champion or as a person. WWE champions should be people that children can look up to as a role models and Hardy was far from that. The Undertaker is a different story. For all of his flirtations with the dark side, The Undertaker remains a respectable individual. There was even a time, back when Punk first arrived in the WWE Universe, that he even feared the Man from the Dark Side. But he has since learned better. And beating The Undertaker at Breaking Point convinced Punk that the Dead Man offers nothing for him to fear. Even facing in The Undertaker in Hell in a Cell doesn't intimidate Punk at this point.
Smirking, Punk then examines his title belt for a moment, then explains that being the WWE World Heavyweight champion offers plenty of benefits. Benefits that some don't understand how to take advantage of. But the Straight Edge World Champion is not one to miss out on such advantages. And since Mr. McMahon at SmackDown tonight, the champion has already taken the opportunity to take his request right to the top to make sure it happens. Someone as intelligent and visionary as Vince McMahon clearly sees where the future of the WWE lies... and Punk points at his own chest as the fans boo.
Those boos suddenly turn to cheers when the lights go dark and the familiar bells begin to ring. It can be only one man... The Undertaker!
But its not the Undertaker who emerges when the lights go back up. As CM Punk stands in the ring with stark fear on his face, it is instead...

Matt Hardy
This gets a bit of a mixed reaction from the fans, some of whom do not appreciate the deception. But many are laughing at CM Punk along with Matt Hardy. Then Hardy gets serious, standing on the stage with a microphone as he says that was a bit of payback from a month ago, when Punk pretended to be Jeff Hardy. Because like all of tehse fans here, Matt Hardy has not forgotten that it was Punk who is the reason that Jeff Hardy is no longer part of World Wrestling Entertainment. One that Punk is going to learn is that a Hardy does not forgive or forget... much like someone else!
There is a roar from the crowd as The Undertaker is suddenly in the ring behind CM Punk. The Phenom grabs the world champion by the throat and stares at him. Punk eyes are wide with fear as he looks panicked. Taker goes to lift Punk for the choke slam, but Punk lashes out and kicks the Dead Man square in the shin. Its enough to loosen the grip and he squims out, diving out of the ring.
Punk has dropped the WWE World Heavyweight championship belt however. Undertaker slowly reaches down and graps it, then holds it up high while the fans cheer and CM Punk glares from outside the ring.
Jim Ross: Looks like Punk forgot something!

William Regal, Ted DiBiase, Cody Rhodes, Drew McIntyre + Tyson Kidd vs Matt Hardy, Christian, Tommy Dreamer, MVP + Mark Henry
A fast-paced and messy tag match, with the faces showing decent teamwork but the heels having problems. William Regal clearly tries to assume the role of team captain, but Drew McIntyre is having none of it and ends up arguing with Regal, allowing Dreamer to go for a quick roll-up pin that almost works. The heel team does manage to isolate MVP, mainly due to some good work between the Legacy duo, but he eventually manages to take in Mark Henry. The big man cleans house until Kidd hits him with a missile drop kick square in the back. It looks like the heels will take over, but some great work by both Christian and Matt Hardy gives the fan favorites the advantage back. MVP ends up getting the pinfall on Kidd after a Drive By kick, with Dreamer and Christian keeping the other team from interrupting the pin. After the match, the heels argue in the ring, which culminates in Drew McIntyre slapping William Regal, who then has to be retrained.
MVP Wins at 10:15 via Pinfall
Jim Ross: Young Drew McIntyre giving William Regal no respect! Todd Grisham: Apparently no one taught McIntyre to respect his elders. Jim Ross: I guess not.

Vince McMahon + Theodore Long
The still-GM Theodore Long is seated in an office with Vince McMahon. Assistant GM Steve Austin is nowhere to be seen. The two are deep in discussion, and Long looks rather distraut. He tells McMahon that it isn't fair. The Chairman responds by saying that fair has nothing to do it with it. The GM then asks if it will be all of them. Any of them who want to continue to compete, Vince confirms. There still has been on clear confirmation about what they are discussing.
With finality, McMahon states that as of Monday, all WWE Divas who want to remain as in-ring competitors will be moving to the Raw brand. Any who choose to remain on SmackDown or ECW will have to do so as managers or interviewers or whatever. McMahon further explains that Long was told to make sure the Divas on SmackDown were featured regularly and yet there have been precious few Divas matches over the past month. Long tries to explain that Michelle McCool was out injured, but he's cut off by McMahon saying he doesn't care for excuses. Its done. When Long then says losing them is a blow to the SmackDown roster, but McMahon cuts him off by saying there will be adjustments. He allows that to hang as he grins. All the General Manager can do is nod.
Todd Grisham: No more Divas on SmackDown? Jim Ross: I'm speechless. Todd Grisham: I'm heart-broken.

John Morrison, Kofi Kingston & Evan Bourne vs The Miz, Jack Swagger & Dolph Ziggler
With less men involved than the five-versus-five tag, this one feels much less sloppy. It centers around the two separate feuds – Morrison-Ziggler and Miz-Kingston. There is some interesting tension between Swagger and Miz, who will both be involved in the threeway against Kofi at the PPV. The middle section of the match is particularly fun, with former tag team partners Miz and Morrison facing off and going at each other hard which makes for a fast-paced and quality sequence. Morrison is slowed when he takes a boot in the back from Swagger, but Miz yells at Swagger instead of going for the pin. Morrison manages to take in Bourne, who bounces all over the ring for a bit. The end sequence sees Miz deliver a Skull Crushing Finale to Kofi, but Swagger tags himself in and gets the pin while Miz is distracted by John Morrison. The heel team doesn't get to celebrate as Swagger and Miz scream at each other.
Jack Swagger Wins at 12:14 via Pinfall

A beautifully-produced video plays, highlighting some of the greatest moments in the history of SmackDown. It particularly focuses on the great work of Eddie Guerrero, but notably leaves out Chris Benoit entirely, and has very little on either Kurt Angle or Brock Lensar.
Jim Ross: What a history! What a show!

CM Punk, Chris Jericho, Big Show & Randy Orton vs John Cena, Triple H, Shawn Michaels & The Undertaker
Hyped as the “biggest match in the history of SmackDown”, the match is certainly entertaining. Its chaotic, with the referee struggling to keep things under control. There is constant interference, switches without tags, and plenty of action outside the ring. There is a nice brawl outside between D-X and Jeri-Show, the two teams obviously having some tension between them. It culminates in HBK delivering a Sweet Chin Music to Chris Jericho, CM Punk getting a Pedigree, and Big Show receives an Attitude Adjustment, leaving Randy Orton in the ring alone. The Legend Killer is surrounded by the four babyfaces, who let Orton think about what's coming before they lay into him. The four take the time, each delivering their own finisher to Orton. The crowd goes insane. But they make a mistake by not going for the pin, which becomes apparent when Big Show climbs back into the ring and hits Shawn Michaels with a knockout punch. Punk and Jericho are soon back in the ring, and in the midst of the brawl, Punk manages to pin Michaels to take advantage of the chaos and get the pinfall.
CM Punk Wins at 16:21 via Pinfall

The Undertaker, John Cena, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, CM Punk, Chris Jericho, Big Show & Randy Orton
Post-Match Showdown
Obviously upset at Punk stealing the win, the faces clearly the heels out of the ring, who are only too happy to avoid further fight. Jeri-Show gather up their belts, while Punk steals back the World Heavyweight title that Undertaker brought down to the ring for the match. The heels quickly disappear while the babyfaces say in the ring.
The “Biggest Show in SmackDown history” culminates with four the of biggest stars in the history of World Wrestling Entertainment standing in the ring, defeated but defiant. Its a long close-out as the theme music of each man plays and they get a chance to play to the crowd.

They call it "Satan's Structure". And its coming to New Jersey three times tonight as World Wrestling Entertainment rolls into the Prudential Center in Newark for the Hell in a Cell pay per view event!
Its going to be a night of firsts. This event is the first time there has ever been more than one Hell in a Cell match on a single event. Its the first time John Cena, CM Punk, Ted DiBiase, and Cody Rhodes have had to partake in the most feared structure in Sports Entertainment. And its the first time a Hell in a Cell tag team match has taken place.
Can a second and a third generation star take down two of the biggest names in the game? That is the task at hand for Legacy. The duo of DiBiase and Rhodes are not only participating in the Hell in the Cell for the first time, but they are facing two men who are both experienced at being inside that soul-crushing cell.
Can "Mr. Ziggles" take the Intercontinental title away from "The Fight Night Delight"? It seems like Dolph Ziggler will not rest until he gets the belt from John Morrison.
Kofi Kingston faces an uphill battle to keep his United States championship. He faces not just one but two opponents, both determined to become champions themselves.
John Cena vs Randy Orton. A rivalry for the ages. Two opponents who have faced each other countless times and know each other very well. This is it. The end. If Cena successfully defends the WWE Championship, then Orton will never get another chance at it while Cena is champion.
The main event is a chance for CM Punk to prove that he truly is "the choice of a new generation". Unfortunately for Punk, defeating The Undertaker in the match that he made famous is no easy task.
