World Champion Rey Mysterio vs. King Booker


At the Great American Bash, Rey Mysterio will defend the World Heavyweight Championship against King Booker…and less than 2 hours after earning the opportunity, the challenger sent a message to the champion.

On the July 7 SmackDown, King Booker last eliminated William Regal and Matt Hardy to win a Battle Royal, a victory that gave him the right to face Mysterio on July 23. Later that night, the challenger was waiting backstage as Mysterio was helped to the back following an attack by Mark Henry.

As soon as Mysterio stepped through the curtain, Booker pounced and sent the World Champion reeling. After slamming him into tables, equipment trunks and anything else he could find, Booker let Sharmell get the last blow. The Queen kicked Mysterio in the groin, and the royal couple slinked away as officials tended to the fallen Champion.

Of course, one has to wonder if Booker’s royal Court will be lurking at ringside waiting to help him become the World Champion. Can Mysterio overcome everything and keep his dream alive on July 23, or will the King walk out of Indianapolis with some new bling around his waist?

Batista's Open Challenge


Late in 2005, Mark Henry was brought back to SmackDown to take out Batista. He accomplished that mission in the short term, but The World’s Strongest Man didn’t quite finish the job. After six months on the shelf, The Animal is back and was slated to be looking for revenge against Mark Henry at The Great American Bash.

But all of that changed when Henry fractured his patella at Saturday Night's Main Event. While it is unknown how long Henry will be out of action, it is confirmed that he will not be able to compete at The Great American Bash. So, without an opponent, the Animal Batista issued an open challenge at The Bash press conference.

On SmackDown, the open challenge was answered. Mr. Kennedy interrupted General Manager Theodore Long's address and offered to replace Mark Henry at The Great American Bash. The Animal accepted and Long made the match official. At the Bash, it will be The Animal and Mr. Kennedy, one-on-one.

Undertaker vs. The Great Khali in a Punjabi Prison Match


At The Great American Bash, Undertaker may be up against the toughest challenge of his career when he faces The Great Khali in a Punjabi Prison Match.

Of course, no one other than Khali (and maybe Daivari) even knows what a Punjabi Prison Match actually is. That in itself gives Khali a huge advantage, but that is only multiplied by the psychological advantage Khali has had since destroying Undertaker at The Great American Bash.

For weeks, Khali has been mocking Undertaker by using his signature taunts, even going so far as to put Gunner Scott in a body bag on SmackDown. Finally, after weeks of disappearance, Undertaker “returned” on July 7.

Following Khali’s match with Tatanka, the monster intended to put the Native American Warrior in a casket. However, when the tomb was opened, smoke billowed out and the lights in the arena dimmed. With his voice filling the arena, the Deadman accepted Khali’s Punjabi Prison challenge and told the monster that he would rest in peace.

At Judgment Day, The Great Khali shocked everyone when he defeated Undertaker. Can he make it two in a row on July 23, or will the Deadman send Khali to his own Punjabi Prison?

United States Champion Finlay vs. William Regal


As reported on WWE.com, Lashley will not be able to compete at The Great American Bash. Thus, the United States Championship will be decided in a one-on-one contest between the champion Finlay and his fellow Court member, William Regal.

Despite their affiliation, Finlay and Regal have both stated that on Sunday, it will be every man for himself and each will do whatever it takes to leave Indianapolis as U.S. Champion.

Little Bastard is sure to be lurking around at ringside to make Regal's championship quest much more difficult.

Which one of King Booker's loyal subjects will walk out of the Bash with championship gold?

WWE Tag Team Champions Brian Kendrick & Paul London vs. The Pitbulls


The WWE Tag Team Championship will be at stake at the Great American Bash, as the champions Paul London and Brian Kendrick encounter the pugnacious team of Jamie Noble and Kid Kash, the Pitbulls.

The high-flying, risk-taking duo of Kendrick and London prevailed against three-time WWE Tag Team Champions MNM at Judgment Day this past May. Since their big win, London and Kendrick have successfully defended their championships against all challengers, most notably the Mexicools.

Recently making their SmackDown debut, the challengers in this contest, the Pitbulls, have had their eyes deadlocked on the tag championships since day one. Noble and Kash have been relentless in their quest for recognition and have viciously clawed their way to the top of the SmackDown tag team division.

Just one week before the Bash, the Pitbulls sent a resounding message to the tag champions when Paul London met Jamie Noble one-on-one on SmackDown. With their respective tag team partners present at ringside, Noble scored a controversial victory over London in what could possibly be a preview of their tag match at the Great American Bash.

Which team will emerge from the Conseco Fieldhouse as WWE Tag Team Champions?

Four Way Bra & Panties Match


This Sunday at The Great American Bash, SmackDown Divas Ashley, Jillian, Kristal and Michelle McCool will show off some skin as they compete in a Four-Way Diva Bra & Panties Match.

Ever since Ashley has come to SmackDown from RAW, Kristal has shown a jealous streak stemming from Ashley winning last year’s Diva Search Competition. Kristal has proven that she belongs in WWE as one of the hottest women on television, but the fact that Ashley finished first in the competition has definitely left a bad taste in Kristal’s mouth.

Things came to a head during the July 14 edition of SmackDown in which all four Divas were involved in a chaotic backstage brawl. Bodies were sprawling and clouds of make-up filled the air as they battled it out in front of the Diva dressing room mirror.

This past week on SmackDown, Ashley and Jillian teamed up to take on Kristal and McCool. Kristal once again showed her jealous side and exposed a mean streak that we hadn’t seen from her since she became a SmackDown Diva as she pulled Ashley’s hair numerous times and verbally taunted her in the ring. In the end, though, Ashley and Jillian came away with the victory after Ashley pinned Kristal.

It will be every Diva for herself come The Great American Bash. Who will be the winner of the Four-Way Diva Bra & Panties Match? Will Kristal walk away victorious and gain some revenge on Ashley? Will Ashley win once again and get the best of Kristal? Can Jillian or Michelle McCool climb the Diva ranks with a victory? Find out this Sunday, July 23, at The Great American Bash only on pay-per-view.
