WWE Smackdown on My Network TV
Taped in Las Vegas, NV

[Q1] Footage was shown of The Undertaker possibly causing Big Show the WWE Championship last week against Triple H. Vladimir Kozlov followed up by leaving Triple H and Jeff Hardy lying...

The opening video aired and fireworks lit up the stage. Jim Ross and Tazz welcomed us to the show. They plugged a WWE Tag Team Championship match and of course, Hardy vs. Kozlov...

Big Show's music hit and he came out to the ring with a reluctant Chavo Guerrero. Show cut a promo on The Undertaker saying things were going to end badly for him. He ran down the three options for his match against Taker at Cyber Sunday. He then said he was going to demonstrate the three matches...

The first option was a "Knockout" match. Show knocked out some local jobber in a couple of seconds. The second option was an "I Quit" match. Show quickly submitted the second jobber. The third option was a "Last Man Standing" match. The third jobber came out. Hurricane Helms popped up and said, "Did you see what happened to the first two? I'm just sayin'." Show put the kid through a table for the win...

Twill's Two Cents: Helms is watching the show live? That was awesome. I actually enjoyed this segment very much. It was different, it made a point, and it was effective.

Chavo held the microphone for Show. He asked if there were any questions. JR and Tazz put up the graphic for the match stipulations. All three guys were laid out in various places...

[Q2] Carlito and Primo were shown walking through the backstage area... [C]

1. Carlito and Primo Colon defeated Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins to retain the WWE Tag Team Championships in 3:44. After some decent action, Primo hit a missile dropkick for the win...

The John Cena video from Monday aired. It is still a very good video...

Eve Torres interviewed MVP backstage. He said he would do what the current United States Champion could not do; he was going to beat R-Truth... [C]

[Q3] 2. R-Truth defeated MVP in 2:55. Truth's entrance was over huge with the crowd. Shelton Benjamin watched the match from the backstage area. In a surprisingly short match, Truth hit a scissors kick for the win. Shelton was shown again watching from the backstage area...

Twill's Two Cents: You know, they could really have a nice United States Championship picture with these three men but MVP's gimmick right now is to come up short of achieving his bonus.

Backstage, Vickie Guerrero complained to The Big Show about the pain she has endured. Kung Fu Naki came in looking like the Karate Kid. He was promptly kicked out of Vickie's office. Maryse entered and tried to score herself a title shot vs. Michelle McCool...

The Great Khali and Ranjin Singh then entered the revolving door of Vickie's office. Vickie told them Khali would be facing The Undertaker. Khali said something to Singh. Singh translated that Khali was not Vickie's puppet. Show stepped up to Khali and told him Vickie was his boss and that she was basically in charge of him...

[Q4] A vignette for Kizarny aired. Is it bad that I am interested in this guy?...

The Brian Kendrick and Ezekiel Jackson came out to the ring. Kendrick gave a lame excuse about not being able to wrestle and said Jackson was taking his place tonight...

3. Ezekiel Jackson (with The Brian Kendrick) defeated Super Crazy in :44. Hurricane Helms popped up again and asked if Jackson's tights came in his size. Jackson quickly won the match and Kendrick hit The Kendrick on Crazy afterwards...

Tazz plugged a Las Vegas divas match with the winner earning the right to face Michelle McCool... [C]

[Q5] Eve Torres interviewed Triple H backstage and asked him who he preferred to face at Cyber Sunday. H said he did not care because whomever won the vote would have to go through him...

4. The Undertaker defeated The Great Khali (with Ranjin Singh) by disqualification in 3:18. Khali enjoyed an early advantage in the match but Taker was primed to take the victory. Before he could however, Big Show came out and attacked Taker, causing the referee to call for the bell.

Show thought Khali was with him and handed him a chair to attack Undertaker with. Khali chopped the chair to the mat and took off. Taker grabbed the chair and hit Show with it... [C]

Twill's Two Cents: Am I finally getting what I asked for?

[Q6] JR and Tazz let everyone know that Triple H would be facing The Undertaker next week on the show...

5. Maria defeated Maryse, Victoria, Brie Bella, and Natalya to become the number one contender for the Diva's Championship in 2:09. This was a "fuzzy dice on a pole match." Maria and Maryse fought to the end but Maria grabbed the dice first. Wow...

Twill's Two Cents: Maria vs. Michelle? Hmmm.

Footage was shown of the carnage left behind by Vladimir Kozlov... [C]

[Q7] 6. Jesse and Festus defeated Ryan Braddock and Kenny Dykstra in 3:48. Helms popped up yet again (fine by me) and pointed out that Dykstra loses almost as much as MVP, almost. Festus scored the pin with the flapjack...

In promoting the Hardy vs. Kozlov match, footage was aired of Kozlov laying out Jeff Hardy... [C]

In case you missed the first one, a Kizarny video aired. I’m curious to see what exactly they do with this guy...

Maria was approached by Michelle McCool backstage. Michelle acted cocky in saying it would be an honor for her to defend the title against Maria. She pinched Maria's cheek. Jesse and Festus entered and Festus gave Maria a flower. Jesse got them out of there saying they had front row seats to see Wayne Newton...

Twill's Two Cents: Maria was Meghan like hot here.

[Q8] Triple H made his entrance and joined the announce booth... [C]

7. Vladimir Kozlov defeated Jeff Hardy in 8:22. Kozlov cut an 80s style promo saying he would not be voted in because the fans would fear him becoming champion. Kozlov was overwhelmingly in control early in the match... [C]

Hardy had an offensive flurry that included two Whispers in the Wind, but Kozlov scored the surprisingly clean victory with the battering ram...

After the match, Triple H and Kozlov went face to face with Kozlov eyeballing H's belt...

Twill's Two Cents: I guess WWE wants Kozlov vs. Triple H. If I was Jeff Hardy, I would still be ready to go at Cyber Sunday.
