The show comes on the air without the theme as DX Warrior stands in the ring with a mic.
DX Warrior: "Well, I guess the cat's out of the bag now. After this week, I'm no longer the GM of SmackDown. Well, since I completely hate the current Television Champion, Chris Jericho, normally, this would be the time where I strip him of his title, but I'm not like that. Instead, I will be competing here tonight against The Miz for a shot at the Television Championship on a neutral show. So, if Miz wins here tonight, Jericho has to defend the Television Championship against The Miz on either War, Xtreme, or OWC. If I win, he has to defend the title against me on either War or Xtreme. Also, if I win the title on the neutral show, I can only defend the title against SmackDown superstars. And even though I hate The Miz enough to give myself an unfair advantage, I don't need it. It took CBM ordering Vladimir Kozlov to keep me from winning the X Division Championship on CBM's Cyber Turmoil. Fortunately, McMahon 101 fired CBM at Apocalypse, so CBM won't screw anyone out of titles anymore. Now, as per my tradition on SmackDown, all matches tonight, no matter how long they take, will be commercial free, unless they start during a commercial for those watching at home. Also tonight, it will be the final part of Skitzo's reign as SmackDown GM erased as Sting has finally returned, & he will take on his former nWo associate Jeff Jarrett. And there will also be two tag team matches tonight. First, we will have Tana team up with Maria to take on SmackDown's newest divas, Brie & Nikki, the Bella Twins. Then, in a non-title rematch from Apocalypse, Cryme Tyme will take on the team of Kofi Kingston & Evan Bourne. Thank you for your time, & now let's kick this show off right."
DX Warrior walks to the back as Sting's entrance music starts
Justin Roberts: "The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, Sting!"
Sting comes out, passes DX Warrior, & enters the ring
Justin: "And his opponent, Jeff Jarrett!"
Jarrett comes out & enters the ring
JR: "And now we will see the end of the nWo in TFC for good, hopefully."
Michael Cole: "Well, the nWo was brought back by Skitzo after he won the TLC 2 match at WrestleMania, becoming the Royal GM. We all know how that turned out, as the nWo was nearly completely erased in Skitzo's final show, putting SmackDown off the air for a few weeks."
The match begins with Sting hitting Jarrett with a clothesline. Just then DX Warrior comes out.
DX Warrior: "I forgot to mention that all matches tonight are no-DQ matches &, except for the divas tag team match, at least one weapon must be broken for the user of said weapon to win the match."
Sting instantly grabs his bat & smashes Jarrett with it several times, sending Jarrett into the corner. Sting pulls him out after grabbing Jarrett's guitar, then smashes the guitar over Jarrett's head. Sting then drags Jarrett over to the corner & sets him up for something. Sting goes to the corner across from where Jarrett is, then rushes at Jarrett, hitting him with the Stinger Splash. When Jarrett comes out of the corner, Sting hits a Scorpion Death Drop, then goes for the pin: one... two... three!
Justin: "Here is your winner, Sting!"

DX Warrior bumps into World Champion Shawn Michaels
DX Warrior: "Shawn."
HBK: "Michael."
DX Warrior: "You know, what I did here on SmackDown was only for the best interest of the show."
HBK: "I know. That's why I didn't ask you to give me any breaks here."
DX Warrior: "Yeah, well, I wasn't very glad that you were working with King of the Dead with his DX."
HBK: "Yeah, & now I'm done with it. I'm now just going to make a name for myself here on SmackDown for myself. And don't listen to negative things people say about you or your reign as SmackDown GM, because none of that matters. Now, just go out there & make the most of what you're given in life."
DX Warrior: "Alright, Shawn. Just remember, I will always think that organized religion is mostly politics with the higher-ups down here. It's like Ozzy Osboure said in his song 'I Don't Wanna Stop': too many religions for only one god."
HBK: "That is true. Well, good luck later on with Miz."
DX Warrior: "You know I don't need it, Shawn. Miz is a huge pushover. And I will make sure that the new SmackDown GM, whoever he or she is, honors my title shot with Jericho once I beat Miz."
HBK: "Why did you even make that match?"
DX Warrior: "First, to beat Miz to a bloody pulp, because no matter how many times I go south of the border, if you know what I mean, it won't do anything to him because there's nothing there!"
both laugh
HBK: "Alright, Michael. I guess I'll see you at the next PPV."
cuts to the ring
Justin: "The following divas tag team match is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first..."
[Tana's entrance music]
Tana & Maria come out to cheers from the crowd
Justin: "The team of Maria, & the SmackDown Women's Champion, Tana! And their opponents..."
[Bella Twins entrance music]
Justin: "From Scottsdale, AZ, Brie & Nikki, the Bella Twins!"
Brie & Nikki enter the ring, then the ref calls for the bell
The match begins with Tana locking up with Brie. Tana hits Brie with a snapmare, then dropkicks Brie in the back. Tana goes for the early pin: one... Brie kicks out. Tana twists Brie's arm & pulls her over to Maria, where Maria tags in & hits a DDT. Tana exits the ring, then Maria hits Brie with a rolling head scissors, sending Brie under the bottom rope near Nikki. Maria runs over & dropkicks Brie to the floor. While the ref holds Maria back, Nikki drops off the apron to check on Brie before dropping down, making it look like she's Brie. After a few seconds, both Bellas get up, then enter the ring. The ref asks which is Brie, & Nikki is more convincing than Brie, so the ref tells Brie to get out of the ring.
JR: "What just happened? Is that Brie, or is it Nikki?"
Maria goes over to hit a bulldog, but Nikki hits Maria with a facebuster & goes for the pin: one... two... Tana breaks it up. Tana gets out of the ring after helping Maria over to their corner, then Tana tags herself in. Nikki, still believed to be Brie, charges at Tana for a clothesline, but Tana reverses it into a crucifix pin. Maria comes in & knocks Brie off the apron while the ref counts: one... two... three!"
Justin: "Here are your winners, Maria & the SmackDown Women's Champion, Tana!"
The ref hands Tana the title as all four divas stand in the ring after the match. Tana tells the Bellas that she knows they switched, & that it was a good trick.

[The Miz's entrance music]
Justin: "From Cleveland, OH, weighing in at 230 lbs., The Miz!"
Miz comes out to heavy boos from the crowd
Justin: "And the opponent..."
Justin: "From Riverside, CA, DX Warrior!"
DX Warrior comes out to a huge pop from the crowd
JR: "And here comes the soon-to-be former General Manager of TFC Friday Night SmackDown, DX Warrior. He's a former OWC Tag Team Champion, one-half of the only team to win multiple OWC Tag Team Championships, the Angel Warriors. This will give DX Warrior his second shot at a singles title should he beat The Miz here tonight."
Cole: "He seems very confident. You heard him talking to the World Champion Shawn Michaels, his mentor, right before the divas tag team match. He said that he can beat The Miz very easily. When I first talked to him, he said that there were many stars in TFC that he could beat with both hands tied behind his back, & that list included Miz."
The match begins with DX Warrior hitting Miz with a high knee, which he used to hit Miz with a Triple H-style facebuster.
JR: "He calls that the Gamebreaker. It usually signals the end of a match!"
DX Warrior then sends Miz over the top rope, then follows. The ref starts his count while Miz starts to get up before getting hit with a spinebuster. DX Warrior sends Miz back into the ring at five before getting a weapon out from under the ring. When the ref gets to eight, DX Warrior reveals the weapon as a sledgehammer, then gets in the ring. Miz gets up, then DX Warrior smashes Miz in the jaw with the sledgehammer. DX Warrior then breaks the handle of the sledgehammer over Miz's head before climbing to the top rope. He hits Miz with a flying elbow drop, then starts to tune up the band. Miz gets up, then walks right into Sweet Chin Music, then DX Warrior locks in the Crippler Crossface. Miz tries to get to the ropes, but DX Warrior keeps Miz away until Miz taps out.
Justin: "Here is your winner, DX Warrior!"
JR: "And now on either War or Xtreme, DX Warrior will get a shot at Chris Jericho & the Television Championship."
DX Warrior grabs a mic.
DX Warrior: "Miz, if I wasn't leaving SmackDown as the GM, then I would fire you right now, but I'm leaving that up to the new GM next week. So I hope you are friends with him or her because I don't see you with a job come next week."

JR: "The end of the show was shocking for everyone, as no one expected CBM, a very established star in TFC, was fired. Well, it's been done, & we'll just have to wait until next week to see the ramifications of all of the events that have taken place this past week."

Cryme Tyme's music plays, but they don't come out for two minutes
Justin: "From Brooklyn, NY, they are the SmackDown Tag Team Champions, Shad Gaspard & JTG, Cryme Tyme!"
Cryme Tyme's music restarts, but they don't come out for another two minutes. Just then, we cut to the back where Cryme Tyme, Kofi Kingston, & Evan Bourne are out cold with a black cloth draped down behind where they were found, & an nWo spray-painted on it in blue.
The pyro at the stage goes off, then the camera goes around the arena. JR and Michael Cole bring the fans into the show.
JR: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Friday Night SmackDown! We are live in Gainesville, Florida, and do we have a show in store for you tonight."
Cole: "In our main event tonight, we will see one of the participants in the World Championship Scramble match in tag team action as John Cena teams with National Champion John Morrison to take on The Miz and Mr. Money in the Bank, Shelton Benjamin."
JR: "And as announced on the TFC forums earlier in the week, we will have a musical guest just because we can, and they will have more time than Aerosmith had last week! This week's guest is the Gainesville-based rock band, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers!"
Cole: "And we will determine Cryme Tyme's opponents this Sunday at Apocalypse. Now, lets get on to the action."
Justin Roberts: "The following contest is a Belfast Brawl. In this match, there are no count outs and no disqualifications. The only way to win is by pinfall or submission inside the ring. Introducing first, from Belfast, Northern Ireland, weighing in at 230 lbs., Finlay!"
Finlay comes down to the ring
JR: "Here comes the Fighting Irishman, Finlay. He is one tough SOB, and tonight, he's got the Television Champion Chris Jericho in Finlay's specialty, a Belfast Brawl."
Cole: "I don't know how Jericho plans to get out of this match, but this time we don't need a second ref unless Charles Robinson gets knocked out."
Chris Jericho's pyro
Justin: "And the opponent, weighing in at 226 lbs., he is the Television Champion, Chris Jericho!"
Jericho comes out to the ring without the TV title
Cole: "Where's the title?"
JR: "I think that I have an idea, Cole, and if I'm right, he's under the ring right now."
The bell rings, and we are underway. Jericho hits Finlay with a low blow, legal in this match. Jericho exits the ring and searches under the ring for a weapon, but he comes out with whipped cream on his face. Hornswoggle peeks out from under the ring holding a replica TV title. Jericho sees the belt, then he pulls Hornswoggle out from under the ring by the replica belt. This gives Finlay enough time to get out of the ring on the other side. Jericho chases Hornswoggle around the ring, and Finlay leapfrogs Hornswoggle to deliver a clothesline to Jericho.
Cole: "Jericho is going to need to focus on beating Finlay instead of getting his title back from Hornswoggle."
JR: "That's not Jericho's title; it's only a replica belt. Hornswoggle suckered Jericho in."
Finlay continues beating on Jericho. Jericho manages to get back in the ring, and while Finlay is about to get in the ring. Jericho dropkicks Finlay's feet out from under him. Jericho then starts raining down rights on Finlay. Hornswoggle comes into the ring with the replica belt around his shoulder, then throws it into Jericho's face. Jericho looks at it, but tosses it down when he realizes that it's a replica. Finlay gets up as Jericho turns around, and Jericho hits Finlay with a Codebreaker. Before Jericho can go for the pin, King of the Dead runs down to the ring with a bat and smashes Jericho with it. King then hits a Twist of Death before picking up Finlay and hitting him with a Twist of Death as well, right on top of Jericho, putting Finlay in a pinning position: one... two... three!
Justin: "Here is your winner, Finlay!"
King grabs a mic
King of the Dead: "And the winner of the World Championship Scramble match this Sunday, and the World Champion after the match, King of the Dead."
King's music plays as he walks to the back holding Jericho's Television Championship; the actual belt.
JR: "What a cowardly move from King of the Dead. No wonder he tricked Jericho in their match last week."
Cole: "We always see this when he gets involved in the matches he makes on Xtreme, but carrying that over to SmackDown is just too much."

JR: "Welcome back to SmackDown, and now we send you to our our guest interviewer for tonight, Benmont Tench of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers."
cuts to the back
Benmont Tench: "Ladies and gentlemen, my guest at this moment, King of the Dead. Now, King, why did you do what you did out there just now?"
King: "Because Jericho deserved what was coming to his sorry @$$. As for Finlay, he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time, but I guess we have our GM to thank for that."
Benmont: "Well, at Apocalypse, you say that you will win. Due to your friendship with Shawn Michaels, the current World Champion, are you going to put Shawn through a lot off punishment in the match?"
King: "Yes, but only because it's business. Otherwise, I wouldn't do anything to HBK except remind him who runs DX."
cuts to the ring
Justin: "The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall, and the winning team will join Cryme Tyme at Apocalypse for the SmackDown Tag Team Championships! Introducing first, in the ring, the team of Kid Kash and The Great Khali!"
crowd: boos
Justin: "And the opponents..."
Justin: "From Jamaica, weighing in at 219 lbs., Kofi Kingston!"
Kofi makes his way to the ring, stopping before he enters for...
Justin: "And his tag team partner, from St. Louis, MO, weighing in at 200 lbs., Evan Bourne!"
Bourne makes his way to the ring, and he and Kofi enter together
JR: "What an oppurtunity for Evan Bourne and Kofi Kingston. Both are impressive on their own, but this is going to be one dynamic duo, even more dynamic than Batman and Robin."
The match begins with Khali throwing Kash out of the ring.
Cole: "That's no way to win a tag team match."
JR: "Unless you are The Great Khali and are able to manhandle multiple opponents at once."
Khali stands near his corner while Kofi approaches him. Kash gets up on the apron and tags himself into the match without Khali noticing. Khali hits Kofi with a big chop, taking Kofi down quickly. The ref argues with Khali, telling him to get out of the ring. Khali does while Kash goes for the pin: one... two... Bourne breaks it up. Kash goes to make a tag but Khali drops down from the apron.
Cole: "What's Khali doing?"
Kofi tags in Bourne, then Khali enters the ring and hits Kash with a Khali Bomb before leaving the ring and walking up the ramp. Bourne hits several springboard moves on Kash before tagging in Kofi, who hits a twin legdrop. Kofi drags Kash over to his corner, then tags in Bourne. Kofi hits Kash with Trouble in Paradise after Kofi picks him up, then Bourne delivers a Shooting Star Press.
Cole: "That is why they call him Evan 'Air' Bourne!"
Bourne covers Kash: one... two... three!
Justin: "Here are your winners, Kofi Kingston and Evan Bourne!"
JR: "The turning point of this match was extremely early, when Khali turned on his own partner, delivering a Khali Bomb, allowing the eventual Shooting Star Press from Evan Bourne after Kofi Kingston delivered a hard-hitting Trouble in Paradise. Now Kofi Kingston and Evan Bourne will take on Cryme Tyme at Apocalypse for the vacant SmackDown Tag Team Championships."
Cole: "And from War, we have another huge tag team match as Eddie Guerrero & Chris Beniot defend the War Tag Team Championships against Scott Stiener & Buff Bagwell and America's Most Wanted in a triple threat tag team match."
JR: "From OWC, the TFC Chairman McMahon 101 takes on Wrestlemaniac. I don't know how 101 plans to compete against the beast known as Wrestlemaniac with a broken arm, but we will find out this Sunday."

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers come out onto the stage
Justin: "Ladies and gentlemen, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers!"
crowd: loud cheers
Tom Petty: "Thank you Gainesville for the warm reception. Now, to start off, we're going to play a song from my first solo album, Full Moon Fever. The song is also the new entrance music of SmackDown's General Manager and my friend DX Warrior, and he will come out to the song."
During the song, DX Warrior walks down to the ring and grabs a mic, waiting for The Heartbreakers to finish the song.
DX Warrior: "Thank you, Tom. Now, as Tom said, my new entrance music is 'I Won't Back Down,' a song from his first solo album. Now, I decided to come down here now because there is one thing that I have to announce that's important. Whenever I appear on OWC, I will be known as DX Warrior, but to make a separate identity here on SmackDown, during SmackDown appearances on the show, I will be known by my real name, Michael Ayers. Of course, when I appear for a match during a SmackDown show when representing OWC, I'll be known as DX Warrior. This way, whenever I'm talking to someone who I'm able to talk to on a first name basis when that conversation is televised, there won't be any confusion when, say, Shawn Michaels calls me Michael. Now that that's out of the way, I'm done talking, so back to the music. Oh, sorry, I forgot one thing to say: ROCK ON!!!!!!!"
crowd: extremely loud cheers
Michael walks back up the ramp while Tom Petty starts to talk
Tom Petty: "This next song is from our self-titled debut album, all the way back to 1976, and it's one of the cover songs that Michael's doing for his rock band, the Warriors of Rock."
Tom Petty: "And the last song before the commercial break is the title track from one of our most recent albums. The song is used to describe another of my good friends all the way back in Los Angeles. That man is the Lonesome LA Cowboy, Jim Ladd, who you can hear every weeknight at 9 p.m. Pacific time on Southern California's classic rock station, 95.5, KLOS. Out here, you have to go to either Jim Ladd's MySpace page and stream the Jim Ladd Show there, go to www.955KLOS.com and stream it there, or for those with iTunes and can stream radio stations via iTunes, go to the classic rock tab in the radio section, then scroll down to KLOS. We will play one more song after this, but right after the break, so there's time for everyone to take any necessary breaks without pausing their TiVOs or DVRs."

SmackDown returns with Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers starting their final song of the night
Tom Petty: "Thank you, and good night from The Heartbreakers!"
crowd: cheers as the band returns to the back
cuts to Michael Ayers' office as King of the Dead enters
King: "What did you want?"
Michael: "Just to let you know something, Shane, and it's something that really concerns your actions on Xtreme recently."
King: "First, don't call me Shane. Only Stephanie can call me Shane. Second, what do you mean?"
Michael: "I'll call you whatever I want, Shane, because I can. And I will not have you in any matches on Xtreme unless I approve it. Every time you do, here's the consequences: first time, a 30-day suspension from all SmackDown events, including matches on CBM's Cyber Turmoil; second time, a 60-day suspension from all SmackDown events; and the third time, you will be released from SmackDown. Also, you will not compete in any of your Xtreme Rulez matches. The first two offenses result in double the suspension that you would get from the regular policy, plus it adds the amount of days you served in the last suspension for each offense being added to the suspension. So, if you compete in two Xtreme Rulez matches & no regular matches, first you get a 60-day suspension from SmackDown, then the second time you would get a 120-day suspension by normal policy, as well as an extra 60 days, making a total of a 180-day suspension from SmackDown."
King: "You can't do that."
Michael: "Yes, I can. I'm your boss, so all of my rulings are offical regarding SmackDown stars, even those who just happen to be GMs for other brands."
cuts back to the ring
JR: "What a ruling by our General Manager. King of the Dead cannot compete except when approved by someone who can make any SmackDown star compete in a match, & King of the Dead is also banned from competing in his own creation, Xtreme Rulez."
Justin: "The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, fron Long Island, NY, Mick Foley!"
no one comes out for a minute
Justin: "From Long Island, NY, Mick Foley!"
No one comes out again, then we cut to the back where Mick Foley and Hitman619 are both laying on the ground knocked out. We see a bat next to them.
JR: "That's just uncalled for, King. Once again, King of the Dead ruined a potentially great match."
Cole: "It can't be Sting because we haven't seen him in a long time. Not since the nWo vs. DX match on CBM's Cyber Turmoil several weeks ago."

security camera footage of what happened
Cole: "King of the Dead blind-sided SmackDown's guest from OWC, Bryant Prince, Jr., and the two fought until Mick Foley and Hitman619 tried to break them up."
JR: "King then took out his bat and knocked out Hitman619 and Foley after Prince got away. How will this affect the World Championship Scramble match this Sunday at Apocalypse?"
cuts to the back with guest interviewer Benmont Tench
Tench: "My guest at this time, she is the SmackDown Women's Champion, Tana."
Tana: "Thanks for having me."
Tench: "Last week, you won the SmackDown Women's Championship in a pinfall battle royal with divas from all four brands featured. You are also undefeated on SmackDown."
Tana: "And I owe it all to my hard work and getting the fans behind me these recent weeks."
Tench: "Well, next week, if SmackDown can get the agreed upon contracts signed, you will team up with Maria to take on Brie and Nikki Bella in a divas tag team match. What are your thoughts on taking on the Bella Twins next week?"
Tana: "Well, I know that our GM is going to fire someone at Apocalypse, so the Bella Twins will be taking that person's spot on the roster. Other than that, I'm going into it just like any other divas tag match."

Justin: "The following contest is an elimination tag team table match. The only way to win is to put both opponents through a table."
Shelton Benjamin and The Miz come out together
Justin: "Introducing first, the team of The Miz and the Gold Standard, Shelton Benjamin!"
Benjamin and Miz enter the ring
Justin: "And their opponents, first..."
John Morrison comes out onto the stage and holds up the National Championship
Justin: "From Los Angeles, CA, weighing in at 220 lbs., he in the National Champion, John Morrison!"
Morrison enters the ring
John Cena comes out
Justin: "And his tag team partner, from West Newbury, MA, weighing in at 245 lbs., John Cena!"
Cena enters the ring and tosses his hat and shirt into the crowd for one of the fans
JR: "This match is bound to be a great one. The power of John Cena and the agility and athleticism of John Morrison against the combined egos of Shelton Benjamin and The Miz."
The match begins with Benjamin tackling Morrison while Miz gets a table from under the ring. Cena goes to help Morrison, and Miz enters the ring with the table, smashing Cena with it. Miz sets up the table and drags Cena near it, but Cena pushes off Miz and hits a chain of various suplexes.
Cole: "There's some basic mat wrestling techniques from John Cena."
JR: "A lot of people tell John Cena that he can't wrestle, so I guess that he's going to prove them wrong here tonight."
Morrison gets Benjamin off of him, then Morrison hits Benjamin with a dropsault. He exits the ring and gets another table while Cena starts wearing down both Benjamin and Miz. Morrison reenters the ring and sets up the table. Cena puts Benjamin on the table that Morrison set up, then Cena sets Miz up for the FU. Morrison jumps up on the table with Benjamin, then sets him up for the Moonlight Drive. Both go for the moves at the same time, but Miz goes through the table a split second before Benjamin goes through the other.
Justin: "Here are your winners, John Cena and John Morrison!"
Cena and Morrison raise their hands in victory when King of the Dead charges the ring and attacks Cena. Morrison goes to help Cena, but Benjamin gets up, turns Morrison around, then hits Paydirt before leaving the ring. Stone Cold Steve Austin comes out, lays Benjamin out with a Stunner, then enters the ring and attacks King. Mick Foley comes out and attacks Austin, then Shawn Michaels comes out and attacks Foley, then Hitman619 comes out and attack HBK. King goes back to Cena and both start to brawl, while Austin and Foley start their own brawl, as well as HBK and Hitman619. They continue brawling into the end of the show.
SmackDown comes on air without the theme playing and the lights out
Justin Roberts: "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the general manager of SmackDown, DX Warrior!"
DX Warrior is standing in the ring when a spotlight comes on, pointed at him
DX Warrior: "Now, as I stated on the TFC forums last week, tonight is my 'tribute' to Vickie Guerrero. For that tribute, we have a live performance by the band that wrote the song and unintentionally wrote it about Vickie. Also, in the front row tonight is our special guest, Vickie Guerrero herself. But before we welcome the band to the stage, I have an announcement regarding the World Championship tournament. Since both matches last week were ruined by King of the Dead, the tournament has been cancelled."
crowd: boos
DX Warrior: "Now, last week on the TFC forums, I told King of the Dead that the only way he would get more of a chance on SmackDown than he did in recent weeks on OWC was if he won matches, or did something big. Well, King, I am a man of my word, so at Apocalypse, SmackDown's main event will be Shawn Michaels defending the World Championship against John Cena, Hitman619, Mick Foley, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and King of the Dead. But it won't be just any championship match; it will be my take on the Championship Scramble. Six men, 25 minutes, and the same rules as a regular Championship Scramble. Two men start in the ring, and another enters every five minutes. Whoever picks up the pinfall or submission withing the 25 minutes becomes the interim champion. Whoever gets the last pinfall or submission in the match when the time limit expires is the official champion. As such, the champion doesn't need to be pinned to lose the title. Now, since I still didn't take too kindly to King ruining the World Championship tournament, he will be the first man in the ring for the match. Now, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Brad Whitford, Tom Hamilton, and Joey Kramer: AEROSMITH!"
The lights in the arena come on, and Aerosmith is standing on the stage, ready to play. They start playing...
Steven Tyler: "Thank you! If we had the time, we'd play another song, but there's still a lot of action planned for tonight on SmackDown, so good night!"
Aerosmith goes backstage, and we cut to commercial after these words from JR and Michael Cole
Cole: "Aerosmith still has it, don't they, JR?"
JR: "You're right about that, partner. When we come back, we will have our first match of the night, the pinfall battle royal to crown the SmackDown Women's Champion, and it features divas from all four brands."

SmackDown returns with a couple of SmackDown divas returning to the locker room
JR: "Welcome back to Friday Night SmackDown! We're in the middle of our battle royal for the SmackDown Women's Championship!"
Sharona hits Jaz with Sweet Chin Music and goes for the pin: one... two... JAZ ROLLS UP SHARNOA!!! one... two... three!
elimination: Sharona
Cole: "Wow, Jaz just countered Sharona's attempted pinfall with a pinfall of her own, and now Sharona is returning to OWC empty-handed"
Tana and Maria both go for a flapjack on Gail Kim (from Tana) and Lita (from Maria). Kim and Lita bump heads when tossed up before smashing face-first into the mat. Mickie James then hits a double clothesline on Tana and Maria and Chyna lays out Xtreme's other divas in the match. Tana is aware enough to cover Maria while Mickie covers her fellow War divas and Chyna covers her fellow Xtreme divas: one... two... three! None kicked out!
elimination: Maria, Gail Kim, Lita, Melina, & Michelle McCool
JR: "Four eliminations at once, with Mickie James getting two of them! We are down to four: Jaz from OWC, Mickie James from War, Chyna from Xtreme, and SmackDown's own Tana!"
Jaz charges at Chyna, but Chyna hits a Pedigree on Jaz and goes for the pin: one... two... three!
elimination: Jaz
Cole: "Jaz is out, meaning no more OWC in this match, and McMahon 101 can't claim that OWC is the best brand for everything, because their not gaining the SmackDown Women's Championship."
Mickie and Tana realize that Chyna is stronger than them, so they double team Chyna. After a while, Chyna pushes Tana off her and hits Mickie with a Pedigree. Before she can go for a pin, Tana hits a springboard neckbreaker on Chyna and pins both Mickie and Chyna: one... two... three!
Justin: "Here is your winner, and the NEW SmackDown Women's Champion, Tana!"
Tana holds up the title in victory as Michael Cole leaves the announce table with a mic and enters the ring.
Cole: "Congratulations, Tana! You just won the SmackDown Women's Championship in your second match on SmackDown! This has got to be better than you've expected here on SmackDown, and I have to ask you if this will change your mind on wanting to be traded back to OWC?"
Tana: "Only time will tell, and you know that I won't fail to defend this title in my first defense."
Cole: "Well, thanks, Tana."
Cole returns to the announce table as SmackDown goes to commercial

Xtreme commercial: On Xtreme this past Thursday, King of the Dead proposed to Stephanie McMahon 101, and she said yes. No one saw it coming, and Jeff Hardy made everyone think that Skitzo returned to TFC.

JR: "Welcome back to SmackDown, and we new SmackDown Women's Champion, Tana. Just two weeks ago, she was drafted to SmackDown from OWC, last week she defeated Maria in both divas' SmackDown debut, and now Tana picked up her second SmackDown victory."
Cole: "Now I am hoping that Tana stays here on SmackDown. She is a great asset to the brand. Plus she's our champion."
JR: "You've got that right, Michael."
cuts to DX Warrior's office when Shelton Benjamin enters
Benjamin: "Alright, after I beat John Morrison at Apocalypse and regain my National Championship, I demand that you trade me somewhere where my talents will be appreciated, like OWC or War."
DX Warrior: "How about no, Benjamin. And since you demanded a trade, I'm giving you an ultimatum: win all of your matches before you cash in Money in the Bank and cash it in successfully, or your fired. You must cash in Money in the Bank to stay a member of the SmackDown roster, unless you win at least half of your matches before cashing in Money in the Bank."
Benjamin: "You can't do that to me."
DX Warrior: "I'm your boss, so I can do whatever I want, and that includes stripping you of Money in the Bank and National Championship rematch, then fire you right now, but that's only if you keep demeaning my authority. Now get out of my office, because you have a match, and it starts right now."
DX Warrior: "You better get out there, Benjamin. You don't want to forfiet, do you?"
Benjamin runs out of the office, then he comes out onto the stage.
Justin: "The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Orangeburg, SC, weighing in at 247 lbs., the Gold Standard, Shelton Benjamin!"
Benjamin enters the ring
Justin: "And his opponent, just signed to SmackDown yesterday, from Japan, Yoshi Tatsu!"
Tatsu comes out to a ton of cheers from the crowd
JR: "Here comes the newest addition to SmackDown, Yoshi Tatsu. He left behind fame and notoriety in Japan for TFC. And now he takes on the Gold Standard, who really got himself into hot water just now."
Benjamin grabs a mic
Benjamin: "Well, it seems like DX Warrior thinks that I'm going to lose this match. Come on. At least give me a challege. Listen, Yoshi - I'm not even going to try to say your last name - I'm going to say this so you can understand." [fake Japanese accent] "Yoshi-san, me Gold Standard. You nothing. Gold Standard beat you."
Benjamin gives the mic back to timekeeper, then the ref calls for the bell
Benjamin taunts Yoshi by bowing low. When Benjamin gets back up, Yoshi delivers a huge roundhouse kick to the side of Benjamin's head. Yoshi goes for the pin: one... two... three!
Justin: "Here is your winner, Yoshi Tatsu!"
Yoshi celebrates his victory briefly in the ring, then bows low to Benjamin before leaving the ring and returning to the back.
Cole: "What an impressive victory over Shelton Benjamin for Yoshi Tatsu."
JR: "I see great things in the future of Yoshi Tatsu here on SmackDown. Don't go away, because still to come tonight, in our main event, it will be King of the Dead vs. Chris Jericho, and a second referee will be at ringside to prevent Jericho from cheating."
Cole: "But up next, Cryme Tyme gets their chance to compete at Apocalypse for a shot at the SmackDown Tag Team Championships."

OWC commercial: At Apocalypse, CBM defends the OWC Championship against TFC Champion Ace in a title vs. title match, but first, he has to face submission experts Bret "The Hitman" Hart and Kurt Angle in a triple threat match. Can CBM keep his undefeated streak alive, or will Hart or Angle put the first loss on the TFC Legend Killer's record?
_______________________________________
Cryme Tyme comes out
Justin: "The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall, and the winning team will be in the SmackDown Tag Team Championship match at Apocalypse. Introducing first, from Brooklyn, NY, Shad Gaspard & JTG, Cryme Tyme! And in the ring, the team of Dustin Shore & The Great Khali!"
Cryme Tyme enters the ring as Khali & Shore wait for them in the ring
JR: "What an opportunity for The Great Khali and Dustin Shore. The Great Khali was a part of the trade that sent Kevin Nash to War for both Khali & my broadcast partner that occured only yesterday, and Dustin is just a local competitor who gets his shot at the big times."
Cole: "And to tell the truth about the trade, I never really liked CBM. He kept me in the back when I was perfectly capable of this job. Anyway, I'm glad to be here on SmackDown."
The match begins with Shad starting off against Dustin. Dustin goes for a clothesline, but Shad blocks it and hits a backbreaker. Dustin rolls over to his corner, where he tags in Khali, but the ref was busy with JTG, so he never saw it! The ref sees Khali get in the ring, & he tells Khali to get out because there was no tag.
JR: "The ref never saw the tag, so as far as the ref is concerned, there was no tag."
While the ref is arguing with Khali, Shad lifts Shore onto his shoulders and JTG comes into the ring. JTG runs against the ropes, and Cryme Tyme hits the G9. Shad gets Khali out of the ring, then he tags in JTG. JTG goes to the top rope and hits a moonsault, then goes for the pin: one... two... three!
Justin: "Here are your winners, Cryme Tyme!"
Cryme Tyme get out of the ring when Khali gets back in, then Cryme Tyme grab two mics. Khali hits Shore with a Khali Bomb.
Cryme Tyme: "OH!!!!"
Shad: "Khali just flattened another guy."
JTG: "After we beat him down, though, Shad."
Shad: "You're right about that, JTG, and it's about the money, money..."
JTG & crowd: "Yeah, yeah."
Shad: "The money, money..."
JTG & crowd: "Yeah, yeah."

Cole: "SmackDown has three matches set for Apocalypse. First, there's the ironman tables match: John Morrison defending the National Championship against Shelton Benjamin. Whoever puts their opponent through the most tables at the end of the time limit will walk out as the National Champion."
JR: "Just made, Cryme Tyme will battle an undetermined team for the vacant SmackDown Tag Team Championships."
Cole: "Finally, there's the big one. The six-man, 25-minute World Championship Scramble match: Shawn Michaels defends against John Cena, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Mick Foley, Hitman619, and the man who will start out first for the scramble, King of the Dead."
Justin: "The following contest is scheduled for one fall..."
Justin: "Introducing first, from Cleveland, OH, weighing in at 240 lbs., The Miz!"
The Miz makes his way to the ring to huge heat from the Pittsburgh crowd
JR: "Completely understandable with the crowd here in the Steel City. The Steelers and the Browns are big rivals in the NFL."
Cole: "And yet The Miz comes out wearing a Browns jersey still. That is suicide here in Pittsburgh."
The Miz gets in the ring and gets a mic
Miz: "Before my match with John Morrison, there is another match that I am going to have right now. In fact, I am calling out Troy Palomalu of the Piitsburgh Steelers. Come on, Troy. Everyone here in this arena is waiting for you to come out to this ring and watch me beat you!"
crowd: heavy boos
no one comes out
Miz: "Well, it seems that Troy is afraid of The Miz. Well, now, here is the winning as a result of a forfeit, The MIZ! And now for my second match of the night, I am calling out John Cena. Oh, by the way, for this NFL season, Browns: 1; Steelers: 0!!! Now, come on, Cena."
no one comes out
Miz: "Your winning by forfeit, The MIZ! Miz: 1; Cena: 0!!! Because I'm The Miz, and I'm awesome!"
Justin: "And the opponent..."
Morrison comes out
Justin: "From Los Angeles, CA, weighing in at 220 lbs., he is the National Champion, John Morrison!"
Morrison walks to the ring with the National Championship on his shoulder
The match begins with Morrison quickly hitting the Moonlight Drive, then Morrison hits Miz with Starship Pain and goes for the pin: one... two... three!
Justin: "Here is your winner, John Morrison!"
Cole: "Morrison made quick work of The Miz tonight, JR."
JR: "And he's building momentum toward his title defense against Shelton Benjamin at Apocalypse."
Benjamin comes down to the ring and hits Morrison with Paydirt.
JR: "Oh, come on, Benjamin! That was just uncalled for. I hope Benjamin loses all of his matches and cashes in Money in the Bank with the same result so he gets fired."
a brawl between Benjamin and Morrison ensues heading into the break

SmackDown returns with Benjamin and Morrison still brawling with refs trying to break them up. DX Warrior comes out.
DX Warrior: "Alright, you two, that's enough. I let it go on as long as I did because, to tell the truth, it was entertaining. There hasn't been a good brawl in TFC in a while, so that's why I never stopped it during the break. Too bad the fans watching at home weren't able to see it. So, now, you two, get to the back now."
Benjamin and Morrison return to the back escorted by refs while two stay back for what's next
Justin: "The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introdcing first, King of the Dead!"
[King of the Dead's entrance music]
King of the Dead comes out to heavy boos
Justin: "And his opponent..."
Justin: "Weighing in at 226 lbs., he is the Television Champion, Chris Jericho!"
Jericho makes his way to the ring with the TV title around his waist
JR: "With the second ref, Jericho will not be able to cheat in this match and get away with it."
The match begins with King next to the ropes. Jericho runs at him, and King stops him. King then says something in Jericho's ear. He then lays down and allows Jericho to grab his legs.
Cole: "What in King of the Dead doing?"
JR: "It looks like he's letting Jericho lock in the Walls of Jericho."
Jericho locks in the Walls, then King repositions them so Jericho is right by the ropes. Jericho puts his feet on the ropes.
Cole: "Come on, ref, get over there!"
The second ref walks around to the other side of the ring and sees Jericho with his feet on the ropes. Jericho sees the ref and gets his feet down, but the ref has seen enough. The ref calls for the bell, then tells Justin something.
Justin: "Ladies and gentlemen, as a result of a disqualification, the winner is King of the Dead!"
King gets up, then hits Jericho with a Twist of Death, then goes to the top rope and delivers a Death Swanton.
Cole: "I don't blame King of the Dead for that, but something tells me that King set Jericho up for the disqualification without telling DX Warrior."
JR: "But that doesn't matter now. What matters is that King of the Dead exacted a measure of revenge. Good night, folks!"
the pyro goes off around the stage as JR and Michael Cole welcome the fans to the show
JR: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Friday Night SmackDown! I'm Jim Ross, alongside my new broadcast partner Michael Cole, and I have to say that I am excited for the action we have tonight."
Cole: "That's right, JR. At the TFC draft last weekend, now former OWC Tag Team Champion DX Warrior was named the general manager of SmackDown, and already he's making waves here on SmackDown. Tonight marks the first round of the World Championship tournament, designed to name a #1 contender for Shawn Michaels' World Championship at the next PPV. In the first match of the tournament, we will have two of SmackDown's draft picks battle. John Cena comes from War, and his opponent, Hitman619, comes from OWC."
JR: "And in the second match, Mick Foley finally returns to SmackDown after abruptly leaving the arena during his I Quit match with Stone Cold Steve Austin at Dooms Day, and he will take on the Texas Rattlesnake himself."
Cole: "But first up, we have a match regarding The Brian Kendrick's Television Championship."
Justin Roberts: "The following contest is a SmackDown vs. OWC match scheduled for one fall, and if The Brian Kendrick wins, he takes the Television Championship to OWC. Introducing first..."
Justin: "Representing OWC, from Venice, CA, weighing in at 200 lbs., he is the Television Champion, The Brian Kendrick!"
Kendrick comes out with the TV Title around his waist, looking as if he looked into the future and saw himself pinning his former tag team partner to win tonight
Kendrick: "Well, as you should know, I was drafted to OWC in the draft, and now I'm taking ths title with me, because I'm the best in this company. I don't need a world title to prove that because all of you worthless people, including the rest of the TFC roster, and I'm also talking to you, CBM, are all losers."
Justin takes the mic back from Kendrick as HBK's entrance music hits
Justin: "And his opponent, from San Antonio, TX, he is the World Champion, the Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels!"
HBK comes out to a huge pop from the crowd despite his recent match on CBM's Cyber Turmoil
JR: "Listen to that crowd! They are really pulling for Shawn Michaels here tonight."
Cole: "But will HBK be able to shut The Brian Kendrick up?"
The match begins with Kendrick taunting HBK. HBK goes for a clothesline, but Kendrick avoids it. HBK goes for another clothesline, but Kendrick avoids it again. HBK runs right at Kendrick, but Kendrick gets between the ropes, causing the ref to get between them. Kendrick gets out of the ropes and turns his back on Shawn.
JR: "That's a mistake, Kendrick. You don't turn your back on the Showstopper."
When Kendrick turns around, HBK takes him down and starts raining down punches to Kendrick's face. HBK lets up, then waits for Kendrick to get up. He does, then HBK hits an inverted atomic drop, then punches Kendrick down. HBK runs against the ropes as Kendrick gets up, then HBK nails Kendrick with a flying elbow.
Cole: "Vintage HBK right there."
HBK then climbs the ropes and delivers a huge diving elbow drop, then goes the corner and starts tuning up the band.
JR: "He's tuning up the band! We all know what's coming next!"
HBK hits Kendrick with Sweet Chin Music.
Cole: "Sweet Chin Music! Almost as painful as Tazz's singing!"
HBK goes for the cover: one... two... three!
Justin: "Here is your winner, Shawn Michaels!"
The ref hands HBK the World Title as HBK celebrates his victory. At this time, new SmackDown GM DX Warrior comes out with a mic...
DX Warrior: "Congratulations on the win, Shawn, because as soon as SmackDown returns from this commercial break, we will crown a new Television Champion as King of the Dead takes on Chris Jericho. I don't like either of them, well, I hate Jericho, but I won't let that get in my way of running SmackDown the way I want to: the best way for the fans that makes them want to tune in next week and sell out next week's show. Now, I don't care about money, but everyone deserves to get a chance to shine on SmackDown, but if anyone who wants to take me down on my own roster, I will make sure that you get what's coming to you."

JR: "Welcome back to SmackDown. Just moments ago, Shawn Michaels defeated The Brian Kendrick, setting up this Television Championship match, and no, Kendrick is not in it, as the last match saw Kendrick stripped of the title."
Cole: "Of course, if Kendrick won that match, he would be taking the Television Championship with him to OWC every Friday night following SmackDown."
Justin: "The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the Television Championship! Introducing first, weighing in at 226 lbs., Chris Jericho!"
Jericho walks out to a chorus of boos
[King of the Dead's entrance music]
Justin: "And his opponent, King of the Dead!"
King comes out to as many boos as Jericho
JR: "Well, here we go. Chris Jericho takes on his former boss on Xtreme, King of the Dead. Both men have egos that don't fit in the TFC ring alone."
Cole: "Both men call the fans hypocrites. Neither are right about that. These fans are what TFC was originally built around by McMahon 101. Now we have the Ego Bowl for the Television Championship."
Jericho grabs a mic
Jericho: "Tonight, I will walk out with the Television Championship because I am an honest man. I will get a clean win over King of the Dead tonight, and there is nothing any of you hypocrites can do about it."
Jericho gives the mic back, and the ref calls for the bell
The match begins with Jericho slapping King of the Dead in the face several times. King responds by kicking Jericho in the gut & going for the Twist of Death. Jericho pushes him off and hits a Codebreaker.
JR: "Codebreaker! Talk about quickly hitting a finisher!"
Jericho goes for the cover, but King kicks out at two. Jericho goes for a Lionsault, but King moves out of the way. King then hits the Twist of Death and goes to the top rope.
Cole: " Is he going to do it!? Is King of the Dead about to beat Jericho to win the Ego Bowl with a Death Swanton!?"
King dives and Jerico rolls out of the way, causing King to crash down to the mat! Jericho pulls King away from the corner and goes for a pin. Jericho grabs the tights and gets his feet on the ropes, but the ref doesn't see it as he makes the three-count!
Justin: "Here is your winner, and NEW Television Champion, Chris Jericho!"
The ref hands Jericho the belt, and Jericho holds it high as he acts like he got a clean victory, just as he said he would get in the match.
JR: "There goes Jericho, acting like he didn't cheat in that match. It makes me sick when superstars do that."
Cole: "Well, as much as everyone in this crowd hates it, Jericho is still the new Television Champion."
cuts to DX Warrior's office as Tana walks in
Tana: "So, any idea how much longer until I'm able to go back to OWC?"
DX Warrior: "Right now, no. But next week, since I decided to vacate all but the World, Television, and National Championships when I got the job here, next week, all of TFC's divas that get the approval of the other GMs who don't have a title already will compete in a pinfall battle royal to crown a new SmackDown Women's Champion."
Tana: "What's a pinfall battle royal?"
DX Warrior: "Basically, it's like an over the top rope battle royal, but instead of participants being eliminated by being thrown over the top rope, they are eliminated by pinfall. Submissions are useless except for wearing down someone. Everyone who's still in the match can't leave the ring on their own. If they are forced out of the ring by someone else's move, they're fine, but otherwise they are removed from the match before it officially starts, but any eliminations they made are still official."

replay of last segment
Cole: "The SmackDown Women's Championship is going to be given to the non-champion diva who wins a pinfall battle royal next week on SmackDown. It could be a diva from SmackDown, War, Xtreme, or OWC. You won't want to miss next week's show."
Justin: "The following contest is a World Championship tournament first match scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, in the ring, Hitman619!"
crowd boos
Justin: "And his opponent..."
Justin: "From West Newbury, MA, weighing in at 245 lbs., John Cena!"
Cena comes out to a mixed reaction, mostly cheers
JR: "And here we go, the first match to determine the #1 contender to Shawn Michael's World Championship at the next PPV."
The match begins with Hitman619 hitting Cena with a scoop slam. Cena gets up, and Hitman619 delivers another scoop slam. Cena gets up again, and Hitman619 goes for another scoop slam, but Cena slips behind him and hits a Throwback. Hitman619 gets up with his back turned to Cena, who delivers a spin-out powerbomb. Cena then signals for and hits the 5 Knuckle Shuffle, then signals for the FU. Cena lifts Hitman619 in the fireman's carry, but King of the Dead comes out and attacks both men. The ref calls for the bell. Cena gets up, then King hits the Twist of Death on Cena. He does the same thing to Hitman619.
JR: "King of the Dead just ruined this match. What will next week mean for the World Championship tournament?"

replay of what just happened while JR's talking live
JR: "Welcome back. Just before the commercial break, this happened. John Cena had Hitman619 set up for the FU when King of the Dead came out and ruined the match. As a result, the match was a no contest, and next week, we will have a triple threat match to name the #1 contender: John Cena vs. Hitman619 vs. the winner of tonight's main event."
Cole: "Right now, we have another match with championship implications. The National Championship is on the line."
Justin: "The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the National Championship! Introducing first..."
Justin: "From Orangeburg, SC, weighing in at 240 lbs., he is the National Champion, the Gold Standard, Shelton Benjamin!"
Benjamin comes out to huge boos with the National Championship around his waist and holding the Money in the Bank briefcase, then grabs a mic
Benjamin: "So now I have to defend my title against John Morrison? I'm not even in the World Championship tournament? DX Warrior, I don't care who you are if you overlook me like this again. I'm the Gold Standard, and I deserve better than this. Morrison's not even in my leauge."
Morrison comes out with a mic, waiting to speak until he gets in the ring
Justin: "And introducing the challenger, from Los Angeles, CA, weighing in at 220 lbs., John Morrison!"
Morrison gets in the ring and gets in Benjamin's face
Morrison: "You think that you deserve to be in the World Championship tournament? You're not that good, Shelton."
Benjamin: "Yes, I am, because I'm the Gold Standard."
Morrison: "The only thing that's gold about you is you're hair with you're #7 gold dye, and that doesn't count. And now you are about to lose your title."
Benjamin: "According to who?"
Morrison: "Me, the Friday Night Delight, John Morrison. Now, shut up, hand the ref the belt, then start the match."
The ref gets the belt from Benjamin, holds it in the air, hands it to the timekeeper, then calls for the bell. Benjamin charges at Morrison, but Morrison sidesteps Benjamin and trips him. Benjamin gets up, only to get knocked back down. Benjamin gets up again and once again charges at Morrison. Morrison counters Benjamin with the STO backbreaker. Benjamin gets up after half a minute, then Morrison kicks Benjamin in the gut.
Cole: "Here it comes..."
Morrison hits the Moonlight Drive.
JR: "And Morrison hits the Moonlight Drive. This match might just be over!"
Morrison drags Benjamin near the corner, then hits Starship Pain and goes for the pin: one... two... three!
Justin: "Here is your winner, and the NEW National Champion, John Morrison!"
Morrison raises the title in celebration as Benjamin gets up and hits Morrison with Paydirt. Benjamin then leaves the ring and returns to the back.
JR: "That was just uncalled for. I hope that Benjamin gets what's coming to him."
Cole: "Well, we'll find eventually, JR."
cuts to the back where Tana and Maria are talking
Maria: "Hey, don't think that you're not the only new diva here on SmackDown, Tana."
Tana: "I'm not, and tonight, may the best diva win."
Benjamin walks by
Benjamin: "You two better stop fighting over the Gold Standard. Next week, I will get my National Championship back."
DX Warrior walks up
DX Warrior: "After what you just pulled there, Benjamin, I don't think that the 'That-Brown-Stain-in-Your-Pants' Standard will get another title match next week. With that said, at the next PPV, it will be John Morrison defending his National Championship..."
Benjamin: "You mean my National Championship, and you mean next week."
DX Warrior: "If you interrupt me again, Benjamin, you'll be out of a job and Morrison will have a shot at becoming the new Mr. Money in the Bank. Now, as I was saying, Morrison will defend his National Championship against you at the next PPV in a 20-minute ironman table match. Whoever has the most smashed tables by putting their opponent through them wins the match."

[Tana's entrance music]
Tana makes her way to the ring
Maria comes out to cheers from the crowd, especially the men
Justin: "And her opponent, from Chicago, IL, Maria!"
Maria gets into the ring and shakes hands with Tana before the ref calls for the bell
The match begins with the women locking up. Tana gets the upper hand and delivers a DDT. Maria gets up and hits a DDT of her own. Tana gets up and hits a clothesline, then Maria does the same.
JR: "This match just keeps going back an forth."
Tana gets up and goes for a hurracanrana, but Maria counters with a powerbomb. Maria then goes for the cover: one... two... Tana kicks out. Maria waits for Tana to get up, then Maria goes for a bulldog. Tana counters with a roll-up: one... two... three!
Justin: "Here is your winner, Tana!"
Cole: "Talk about a counter. Maria went for her patented bulldog, but we just saw Tana's ring presence by rolling Maria up for the pinfall."
JR: "I see great things for Tana here on SmackDown."

Justin: "The following contest is a World Championship first round match scheduled for one fall. Introducing first..."
Foley comes out to boos
Justin: "From Long Island, NY, Mick Foley!"
Foley gets in the ring when the shattering glass that signals Stone Cold Steve Austin's entrance occurs
Justin: "And his opponent, from Victoria, TX, Stone Cold Steve Austin!"
Austin makes his way to the ring to extremely loud cheers from the crowd
JR: "Finally Stone Cold gets a chance to get his hands on Mick Foley. At Dooms Day, it was Stone Cold vs. Mick Foley in an I Quit match when Mick Foley tucked his tail between his legs and ran. Now they battle it out over a shot at the World Championship.
The match begins with Mick Foley leaving the ring. Stone Cold follows him and tosses Foley back into the ring. Stone Cold then starts punching Foley in the face. Foley rakes Austin's eyes, then again tries to get out of the ring. Stone Cold grabs him by the back of Foley's vest, then turns him around and kicks him in the gut. Austin then hits the Stunner.
JR: "STONE COLD STUNNER! STONE COLD STUNNER!"
As soon as Austin hits the Stunner, King of the Dead comes out and hits Austin with a Twist of Death. King then climbs the ropes and hits Foley with a Death Swanton.
JR: "Not again! King of the Dead really must not want someone else to get a World Championship shot."
Cole: "Well, that's it for tonight, folks. Tune in next week as we find out just who will be the #1 contender for Shawn Michaels' World Championship."
