SMACKDOWN RECAP...

The August 29, 2008 Edition of SmackDown kicked off with the Deadman standing in the ring ready to cut a promo on Vickie Guerrero. He said that he was going for Vickie's soul and that she, like her husband Edge, would burn in hell. Vickie watched on from her office. Toward the end of the segment La Famiglia left Guerrero in her office alone and she started to flip out.

Announced for later on in the night would be a Champion vs. Champion match between the WWE Champion Triple H and the United States Champion Shelton Benjamin.

The final R-Truth promo aired and up next was R-Truth's in-ring debut. R-TRUTH DEFEATED KENNY DYKSTRA. Before the match Dykstra cut a promo on R-Truth telling him he was a "convict". **NOTE**R-Truth theme song was similar to his TNA theme. It might have been exactly the same, im not sure.

Michelle McCool was backstage taking photos with her Divas Championship. Maryse walked up and told her the title would look better on her. Michelle told Maryse she would never be champion because she has no talent. The two talked a little more and then Maryse walked away to end the segment

A video package for the Jeff Hardy/MVP rivalry was shown. The SummerSlam rematch between the two was UP NEXT!

After the video, Eve Torres interviewed Jeff Hardy backstage. Hardy said MVP was another obstacle in his quest to become WWE Champion at Unforgiven. The broadcast then went to commercial.

After SmackDown came back from commercial break Vickie Guerrero was seen backstage still freaking out. She tried to call someone but the phone wasn't working so she ripped the cord out of the wall and threw the phone against the wall.

JEFF HARDY DEFEATED MVP with his signature Swanton Bomb. After the match, Shelton Benjamin hit the ring and took out both Jeff Hardy and MVP.

JESSE & FESTUS VS. CURT HAWKINS & ZACK RYDER was the next bout of the night. The match never got a chance to finish because Big Show made his way to the ring and took out Hawkins, Ryder and Jesse as the bell rang and Festus (outside the ring) went back to his helpless state. After Big Show got his point across he got on the mike and stated he would never be overlooked again by the SmackDown G.M. Vickie Guerrero.

The next segment featured Vickie Guerrero once again in her office. It seemed like she was trying to calm down. Jim Ross stated Vickie was still "trapped in her own office."

BRIE BELLA DEFEATED VICTORIA in her debut.

The Brian Kendrick was backstage with Ezekiel. He cut a promo about his opponents for Unforgiven. He said he would be the man at Unforgiven to get the final pinfall and he would become the WWE Champion.

The Champion vs. Champion match was up next between Triple H and Shelton Benjamin. During the match, Khali's music hit and he headed down the ramp, distracting The Game HHH. Shelton Benjamin waited for Triple H to turn around and then tried to hit his finisher, but HHH countered Benjamin into the pedigree and got the 1-2-3. After the match HHH was calling Khali to the ring but was hit in the back of the head with Benjamin's U.S. Championship. Benjamin stood over the champion holding up his U.S. Title and then Khali entered the ring and furthermore inflicted damage on Triple H.

Vickie Guerrero was once again seen backstage scared. Her lights in her office turned out and she screamed to end the show.
