"One week from tomorrow is Bragging Rights, and we already know that team Raw has a very impressive team going into that huge 14-man Tag Team match. What Teddy Long failed to realize that Chris Jericho already announced this past Monday night on Raw, that he is already the captain of the Smackdown team.
"As Jericho was talking about what's going to happen to Team Raw at Bragging Rights, and ripped apart right in front of the WWE Universe, the new DX Untold Story. Then, here comes the Big Red Monster, Kane, declaring himself the co-captain of Team Smackdown. Jericho very begrudgingly acknowledged him for his size and strength, and felt that Team Raw really didn't stand a chance.
"So last night, Smackdown had a series of qualifying matches for Team Smackdown, are here is how it all went down.
"Over a month ago on WWE Superstars, there was a Triple Threat match with Finlay, Mike Knox and Dolph Ziggler, in which Ziggler won, and became the Number 1 Contender for the Intercontinental Championship. Last night on Smackdown, the same 3 men met, but this time it was for a spot on Team Smackdown.
"What a good match this was. With such implications, you have to wonder what it was going to take to a get a spot on Team Smackdown. Well, Ziggler, who in my opinion is yet another main event just waiting to happen, saw a chance and took it. Finlay had Knox right where he wanted him when he nailed him with his shillieagh, but Ziggler wasn't going to allow Finlay to cover Knox, when he pulled him off of Knox, and got the win for himself.
"Say what you want about Dolph Ziggler, the day will come when some gold is around his waist.
"Cryme Tyme and the Hart Dynasty have had their share of great battles over the last few months since being drafted to Raw. Last night's match was no exception, especially with spots on Team Smackdown on the line.
"DH Smith had an ankle lock applied on Shad, but Shad breaks out and tagged in JTG, and Tyson Kidd was tagged in as well, and JTG goes to work on Kidd, until Smith tried to get involved, but he was stopped by Shad.
"Kidd was ready to polish off JTG, but Shad grabbed the leg of Kidd. This distraction allowed JTG to finish off Kidd, and Cryme Tyme is now a part of Team Smackdown.
"Well, all I can say is, SHE'S BAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!:( I'm making reference to Vickie Guerrero, who was at ringside when her new boytoy, Eric Escobar saw action against Matt Hardy, for yet another spot on Team Smackdown at Bragging Rights.
"Okay, I'll admit his wrestling ability did impress me a great deal. I like his mean streak and use of aggression, but don't, by any means at all, count Matt Hardy out, because he really took the fight to Escobar, until Vickie Guerrero came in the ring, pretending that she was hurt, but we all know what it really was-- just a distraction to finish off Hardy.
"I can't wait for Edge to come back, and what a rivalry it would be seeing Edge and Escobar in the ring against each other.
"The final Bragging Rights Qualifying match consisted of Drew McIntyre against R-Truth. McIntyre earned the last spot on Team Smackdown when he rammed Truth's back and shoulders into the steel ring steps and post. Although Truth dug deep and really took the fight to McIntyre, in the end, it was too much to handle.
TEAM SMACKDOWN CONSISTS OF:
Chris Jericho
Kane
Dolph Ziggler
Cryme Tyme
Drew McIntyre
Eric Escobar
"So I think that we are in for an amazing 14-man Tag Team match at Bragging Rights.
"Last night, Smackdown saw the return of the Dirt Sheet with Miz and Morrison, and let me say that John Morrison saw right through The Miz, and I really feel that Morrison is going to show the Miz that he was the one that carried The Miz and Morrison's team and not The Miz.
"Jericho does have a great team going into Bragging Rights, and last night he was telling Michelle McCool what he wants out of her, but new Smackdown Divas Mickie James and the Glamazon, had other plans.
"Mickie James vs. Michelle McCool would be a match that I would pay to see.
"The main event saw 2 best friends, Batista and Rey Mysterio in action against each other. Mysterio nailed the Animal with a 619, but when he was ready to finish him off, Mysterio was caught and the Animal tried for the Batista Bomb, and Rey countered and gets the 3 count. Batista had his right shoulder up, but the referee didn't see it, and Unfortunately, the ref's decision is final.
"After the match was over, Mysterio was attacked from behind by CM Punk, who gave him a GTS, but the Animal was a little late in saving him.
"Next week on Friday Night Smackdown, the Undertaker will face CM Punk in another Submission match with Scott Armstrong as the referee, and Teddy Long will be at ringside. The Undertaker told Punk, Armstrong and Long that once you enter Hell's gates, there is no going back."
Well said, my man. What a week it has been in WWE, huh? I can bet next week is gonna be a week to remember in the WWE, what with the S-N double O-P D-O double G himself coming to RAW to host, and what could possibly be John Cena's last RAW match, the WWE Smackdown vs RAW 2010 game coming this Tuesday, and I will be the first line to get a taste of what's to come, and next Friday's Smackdown with the epic Submission match main event. I can't wait! See you all next time for more!:D
