commentating by 2007 WWE Hall of Famer Jerry "The King" Lawler, Michael Cole & Slammy-Award-Winning Todd Grisham

before the following match, it's announced that the 3 "Bragging Rights" matches will be used to determine which show has said Bragging Rights, as whichever roster's wrestlers claim the lion's share of the victories, will win a trophy; SMACKDOWN VERSUS RAW, INTER-PROMOTIONAL "BRAGGING RIGHTS" MATCH: Smackdown Intercontinental champion John Morrison pins RAW United States champion Mike "The Miz" Mizanin with a Roll-Up {PSYCHOLOGY: awesome match!!}; after the match, RAW's Cody Rhodes mocks Smackdown's "R~Truth" Ron Killings, saying that it's only a matter of minutes until it's a clear sweep for Monday nights. . .  but hold on there, Son of a Son of a Plumber, there's still 2 "Bragging Rights" matches left to go; right, that was the implication, that the Friday Night team can't win either of those matches ~ unlike Rhodes, Truth lost his original qualifying match for Bragging Rights. . .  not to mention that, when the original team didn't seem to measure up, Smackdown General Manager went & created a new match to replace them ~ Killings' a 2nd-rate wrestler on a 2nd-rate team on a 2nd-rate show; oh, you wanna talk truth, well the only reason Cody's on RAW's because of his daddy, WWE Hall of Famer "American Dream" Dusty Rhodes. . .  RAW Heavyweight champion "Legend Killer" Randy Orton's the only reason that Rhodes' had any success. . .  so it's starting to look like, the only way for the Lega¢¥ member's gonna make a name for himself, is to be the 1 who gets pinned tonight; in steps WWE Unified Tag Team co-champion the Big Show, who tells R~Truth that he's quite adept @ delivering his verbal & physical barbs, making him quite the well-rounded student of WWE Unified Tag Team co-champion Chris Jericho; so why doesn't Ron just go back to Y2J, Kane & everybody else in those blue shirts, so that the guys in these red shirts will let their actions do the talking for them

SMACKDOWN VERSUS RAW, INTER-PROMOTIONAL "BRAGGING RIGHTS" 6-DIVAS TAG TEAM MATCH: Smackdown's Platinum Blondes ("Glamazon" Beth Phoenix & Not Enough For Them {Women's champion Michelle McCool & Natalya Neidhart}) versus RAW's 1 of These Divas is Not Like the Others (Divas champion Melina Perez & K³ {Kelly Kelly & Gail Kim}); Phoenix beats Perez with a 'Glam Slam' Elevated Wheelbarrow Faceplant {PSYCHOLOGY: it looks like the Glamazon's definitely ready to take back the Women's title!}; after the match, backstage the captains of Team RAW, HHH & 2016 WWE Hall of Famer "HeartBreak Kid" Shawn Michaels, call all their teammates together in a bit of a huddle, so that the Game & the Showstopper can give them a little pep talk. . .  but "All-American American" Jack Swagger, for 1, doesn't need any such Rah-Rah speech, he's on the team & therefore that makes them better; HBK points out that, although Swagger might have all the athletic ability in the world, there's 1 thing that he doesn't have & that's respect & that's the thing that's gonna carry this team, back him up on this Hunter ~ yeah, Shawn's right, nobody respects Jack; let's face facts, D-Generation X have been making fun of "World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry since that time he almost gave birth to a hand with WWE Hall of Famer Mae Young {man, that was a long time ago, they ain't still gonna make fun of the former Sexual Chocolate over that, are they?}. . .  they once inserted the cranium of WWE Owner Vince McMahon up WWE Unified Tag Team co-champion the Big Show's naked butt. . .  they beat up Cody Rhodes so badly, that he had to be carried out on a stretcher. . .  & more importantly, they exposed Kofi Kingston as a phony Jamaican {whoa, whoa, man, the only reason he was using that corny accent was to pay homage to Jamaica}. . .  but all of that's not the point, since none of these guys really like DX, but they do respect the Cerebral Assassin & the HeartBreak Kid, so if he doesn't want to be a part of this team, then the All-American American can walk out that door & Michaels'll literally replace him with the next guy who walks by. . .  no, not Hornswaggle, now go take that DX stuff off & wash your face. . .  anywho, bottom line, they can't lose tonight ~ this is bigger than just winning a match, it's about honour & pride, about being able to walk into a locker room with those Smackdown jerks & see them hanging their heads. . .  so are they ready? . . .  well, if they're not down with that, then the 2016 WWE Hall of Famer has 2 words for ya! . . .

WWE thanks Maylene & the Sons of Disaster for the song "Step Up {I'm On It}", from the album 3 {available now}, the official theme for Bragging Rights

FATAL 4-WAY, SMACKDOWN HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH: champion UnderTaker versus Dave "The Animal" Batista versus Rey Mysterio Junior versus CM Punk; the Phenom defeats the Animal with a 'Tombstone' Elevated Piledriver {PSYCHOLOGY: another great match & the show's only an hour old!}; after the match, ECWWE's Josh Mathews steps into the ring to bother Amigo Heat, with the Biggest Little Man stating that he doesn't think that they could've worked any harder, he & Batista had their difficulties @ the beginning, but this time it was wasn't their night, so they'll just have to keep trying & get another shot down the road; how's Dave feeling? . . .  well, he doesn't think that they were close. . .  he thinks that he was close. . .  & do you know what else Dave thinks, he's tired of coming this close & having his best friend stab him in the back. . .  oh, Mysterio thinks Batista's playing? . . .  the only thing that the Animal's playing's soccer & he's gonna rip Rey-Rey's head off to use as a ball; after tossing the former "Heavyweight" champion around a few more times, Batista makes his way backstage, obviously feeling somewhat better about himself

a video package plays, showing various members of the WWE Universe being asked outside the arena before the event, who they thought would come out on top for Bragging Rights, with the ÜberMarks crowd seeming rather split down the middle, in regards to the following SMACKDOWN VERSUS RAW, INTER-PROMOTIONAL "BRAGGING RIGHTS" 14-MAN TAG TEAM MATCH: Team Smackdown (Pith & Vinegar {Kane & WWE Unified Tag Team co-champion Chris Jericho} & Last Chances @ Bragging Rights {Fit Finlay, the Calgary Bulldogs [Tyson Kidd & David Hart Smith] & Killings Me Hardy ["R~Truth" Ron Killings & Matt Hardy]}) versus Team RAW (D-Generation X {HHH & 2016 WWE Hall of Famer "HeartBreak Kid" Shawn Michaels} & the Primaries {Kofi Kingston, the Immovable Objects [WWE Unified Tag Team co-champion the Big Show & "World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry] & Humble As All-Get-Out [Cody Rhodes & "All-American American" Jack Swagger]}); the Ayatollah of Rock & Rollah pins the Jamaican Sensation with a TBS-Applied 'Goozle' Chokeslam {PSYCHOLOGY: now Y2J's gonna be insufferable, isn't he? . . .  it's gonna be great!}; after the match, the Son of the Son of a Plumber catches up to Kingston, proclaiming that it was all their fault that Team RAW lost, when in fact Kofi does his best to indicate that it was the turncoat tactics of WWE Unified Tag Team co-champion the Big Show who allowed the loss; well, he was the 1 who got pinned, so obviously the Jamaican Sensation was the weakest link, so Cody beats him down, then tosses his RAW t-shirt onto the fallen Kofi
