Welcome to Tuesday Night Smackdown! I am your host… Michael Cole! And what an night we have in store for you… But before we get to our first match, we head to the back!
Miz and Layla are backstage standing in a corridor.
Did you see that? Did you see how I hit the Mizaster on Montel Very-stupid-name Porter - the former WCWWE Champion - and pinned him for the 1-2-3 last week?
Of course I did. That was pretty impressive.
Then in the semi finals I did the same thing to that... that disgusting sex pest Lance Hoyt. I have to admit it felt dirty even putting my hands on the guy but a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do!
Well I knew you'd be man enough to put that pervert in his place.
And then in the finals, I overcame Team Yo Fella to finally become.... number... one... contenders!
Didn't John get the pin in that match?
Well... yes... but I mean, I didn't want to be greedy and get ALL the pins.
And weren't you laid out outside the ring?
Well.... it's a team effort. I won two of the matches and John won the other. It's still impressive!
I guess so...
Hey I got two wins! I'm the MVP of the team - and I don't mean Montel Very-stupid-name Porter either!
Mike.
What?
I'm just winding you up.
Oh... yeah... right... I knew that.
Yeah... sure you did. You've got a big match tonight against Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
Hacksaw Jim Duggan? Maybe if this was 30 years ago I might be a little bit worried.
But he's been...
He's been Tag Team Champion... 4 times is it now? I don't know how they count the Unified one. We'll go with 4. But he's won all 4 of those reigns by using someone else to get there. A former World champ in CM Punk and now one of the biggest up and coming talents in WCWWE today in Sir David Hart - ludicrous as his name may be.
If you say so Mizzy.
Oh I do say so Layzee.
Layzee? What are you trying to say? I don't put in any effort, is that it?
No no.. that's not what I meant! You... you put in lots of effort. And don't think I don't appreciate it! I mean, evidence that you're not lazy is tonight when you step into the middle of the ring with... with Katie Lezzy Burchill.
Katie is lazy?
No, lezzy... as in lesbian. Like she wishes she was a chick magnet like I am.
Oh okay... and I have to touch her? Won't she like that?
You're thinking this through too much Layla. The point is, you're willing to go one on one with the Women's champion to prove yourself tonight. You have the chance to show that it should have been you in that Women's tournament last week - not Manria, Butch Phoenix or Mankie James! Tonight you get to put yourself in contendership. I mean... when you win, you have got to be number one contender for No Way Out right?
When... she wins tonight?
Katie Lea steps on screen.
Speak of the dyke. Look, I've got an old man to go beat up. Good luck for later.
Miz kisses Layla.
Good luck to you too babe!
Miz walks off down the corridor and Layla watches him go.
You'd really better pay more attention to me than what your bit on the side is doing tonight.
Oh you'd like that wouldn't you? You'd LOVE IT if I paid you more attention wouldn't you? I guess you just can't wait to get your hands on me tonight... and I don't blame you.
First of all, I don't swing that way, and there's nothing wrong with it. Second of all... you're right, I CAN'T wait to get my hands on you tonight. I've barely been on Smackdown! in months. I beat Mickie James 2 weeks ago, and now I get to have the far easier warm up match for the Royal Rumble in you. Don't worry yourself too much Layla. I'll not take my time beating you up. It'll be quick... and... well I would say painless, but that part wouldn't be true at all.
You beat Mickie James! Am I supposed to be impressed? Look at me! I'm Katie Lea Burchill and I'm Women's champion. I'm totally going to destroy you! Hardy har har har! By all means, underestimate me. Go right ahead. Underestimate me, ogle me... have your sick little fantasies about me... but don't be surprised when I pin your shoulders to the mat, and then beat you at No Way Out to take your pretty little title from you!
What is it Mike says? Be jealous? Well Katie, be jealous, because I'm Miz's and I'll never be yours!
Layla smiles but also looks a little disgusted and walks off with her head held high. Katie Lea shakes her head and rolls her eyes.
Kane goes for the chokeslam... but haas counters it into the haas of pain... Kane fights off the pain and struggles towards the ropes... but he can't reach it!! He stays in the hold for a few more moments...then.... HE TAPS!!! Kane just tapped out to the Haas of Pain!!
Here is your winner... Charlie Haas!
*Jimmy Wang Yang and Colt Cabana are seen backstage.*
I tell ya Sundance, it sure is great having you back at my side. I could use the back-up, seeing as how I'm a taking on Pecos Bill soon.
Yeah... listen Jimmy-
Sundance....
Sigh, look Butch, things could get a little hairy out there. I mean, Eze-I mean, Pecos Bill is... he's a badass. Plus, no one's seen him for over two months. Word is, he's been in jail the entire time.
Well I'ma send him back Sundance! Ol' Pecos is gonna learn not to break the law, and NEVER cross Butch Cassidy! Yeehaw!
Jimmy, you're gonna get hurt.
Nonsense! I'm a'going to give Pecos the thrashing of a lifetime! Yee-haw!!
*Jimmy Wang Yang runs off as Maria shows up behind Cabana.*
He's gonna die you know.
Yeah. Shame, I was getting used to being called Sundance...
Jimmy Wang Yang hits a few kicks to Ezekiel’s shins, then lands a roundhouse kick to the side of his head. Ezekiel is staggered and falls into the ref, knocking him outside the ring. Yang quickly jumps to the top rope and leaps up… but Ezekiel catches him and nails a power slam! Ezekiel looks down at the ref then slips out the other side and looks under the ring. What is he looking for? He found something… A CROWBAR! He’s climbing back into the ring with it… He sizes up Yang for a blow as he is getting back up to his feet… But then Yang jumps up and kicks the crowbar out of his hand and to the mat.
Yang rushes Ezekiel and starts landing a series of punches and kicks… but then Ezekiel kicks yang in the gut… Dominator!!!
Just then… Colt Cabana makes his way down to the ring! He slides in the ring and grabs the crowbar before Ezekiel can get it again. The two stare each other down, Ezekiel looking a little worried. Cabana swings the crowbar and nails Yang right as he’s getting up!
Cabana throws the crowbar out of the ring, goes outside, and pushes the ref back in the ring to make the count.

*Colt Cabana and Ezekiel Jackson are shown backstage.*
Oh Jimmy..... poor, STUPID!!, Jimmy.
Did you think you honestly stood a chance against this man, this physical specimen? And not only that, but you honestly thought that you could beat him? You?
Poor, stupid, Jimmy.
Maybe now, you'll start to realize what's already common knowledge to all the boys in the back. You're not Butch Cassidy, I sure as s*** am not Sundance, and you... you're not a cowboy. You're just Jimmy Yang. Nothing less, and certainly nothing more.
But this man right here... this man is a threat. Ezekiel Jackson isn't someone you want to piss off, and everyone on Smackdown is going to learn that very soon.
Ta ta Jimmy. And may "Yangbana" die forever more.
*The Superpowers walk into the camera. They each shift the tag team titles to their other shoulders as Hart speaks first.*
Since Hacksaw and I have already proven just how great we are as a tag team, so much so that we have to face a team at the Rumble who we have already soundly beaten. The Miz and Morrison are nothing but jokes who were an embarrassment to call themselves champions. I am a proud knight and Hacksaw is a hall of fame member. We are the definition of a great team.
But tonight we get the Miz and Morrison in two separate matches, just another way to show just how dominate we are in the ring. I am out to prove to my uncle Bret that I am the next generation of the excellence of execution!
We are not going to do any joke of a show or tell you we are from Hollywood. We are a real tag team and we are real champions. We will show tonight as we begin our decent to yet another successful title defense just why we are two of the greatest here in the WCWWE! We are the champions and tonight we show it! HOOOOOOO!
*Duggan and Hart walk confidently towards the ring.*
Duggan goes for his trademark 3-point stance finisher… but miz ducks it!! Mizaster!!

Here is your winner… the Miz!
John Morrison is in the back.
Hello. I‘m John Morrison. It‘s Spanish for one half of the greatest tag team in Smackdown history.
Tonight, I see that I have a match against one half of the current WCWWE World Tag Team Champions, Sir David Hart.
Now David, I know you and Hacksaw Duggan are an amazing team. You‘ve got the belts to prove it, too. But the only reason you guys have those belts is because you haven‘t faced Miz and myself yet.
So tonight David, you get a preview of what‘s to come at the Rumble. When it‘s all said and done, Miz and myself will be the NEW Unified WCWWE Tag Team Champions.
But please boys, don‘t be bitter.
Be jealous.
Morrison attempts the flying chuck… but gets planted by a big boot… Hart picks Morrison up and hits the running powerslam…

Here is your winner… Sir Davit Hart!!
Joining me at this time is John Cena.
*Cena gets loud boos but with a few cheers mixed in which he smirks at*
Tonight you face Mark Henry but you have to be somewhat angry at not being entered into the WCWWE Championship tournament on ECW.
Hehe, you'd think so. But no. You see it all make perfect sense.
It does?
Sure it does. Think about it. Ever since the prize for winning the Royal Rumble became a title shot at Wrestlemania, it has been the traditional route to main eventing the grandest stage of them all. It makes perfect sense. You have your top drawing star chase the title to Wrestlemania where he overcomes the odds and wins the title. He creates a Wrestlemania moment and sends everybody home happy. Shawn Michaels did it at Wrestlemania 12. Triple H did it at Wrestlemania 18. Batista did it at Wrestlemania 21. Hell, Stone Cold Steve Austin did it three times at Wrestlemania 14, 15 AND 17. In fact I don't remember the last guy who won the Rumble and didn't win the title.
Uh, that was you two years ago.
Funny. No the correct answer is the man I am going to face tonight, Mark Henry. And why did Mark Henry not win the World title at Wrestlemania 25? Because he isn't a draw. He doesn't sell tickets, he doesn't send buyrates rocketing, he doesn't pop ratings, nobody buys his shirt...does he even have a shirt
The point is I do all of those things. And tonight, after I defeat Mark Henry, I am challenging another former Royal Rumble winner. Next week - John Cena v SHAWN MICHAELS!
Wow, that'll be a great match.
You're damn right it will be. So I'm telling you all, order the Royal Rumble on January the 22nd. Sit down a with few beers and a big bucket of popcorn and watch the richest prize in our sport be contested between a Russian and a Scotsman. Then watch as I eliminate 29 other men and make a Wrestlemania moment by taking the title from whichever one of them wins that match. And you know what? I don't even need the belt to say it because we all know it's gonna happen anyway.
The Champ IS HERE!
Cena nails the FU then locks in the STFU…Mark Henry quickly taps!
Here is your winner… John Cena!
WOW! John Cena making a statement here tonight! Can he continue picking up momentum thru to the Royal Rumble?
*Break*
*Rather somber*Ladies and gentlemen… The following interview was recorded earlier tonight, before Colt’s heinous act. Let’s see what he had to say.
I'm here along with one of the thirty men who will be apart of this year's Royal Rumble, CM Punk. Last week on FightClub, you had a chance to become the number one contender to the WCWWE World Heavyweight Championship but instead, you were eliminated by Drew McIntyre in the first round. What are your thoughts on what took place?
As much as it pains me to admit it, predicting that I would win the entire tournament was a little over confidence on my part. Also, as much as it pains me to admit it, Drew McIntyre was the better man that night. However, there was no way I should have gone out as early as I did. I take pride in being one of the best in the world and my efforts last week were abysmal. Failure is not an option for CM Punk and as a result, I have given myself two challenges to accomplish by January 23rd, the night after the Royal Rumble. The first is quite simple, take the United States Championship from that low life Shawn Michaels. The second is easier said then done. Defeat twenty nine other men in order to main event WrestleMania. I'm not a betting man, I'm against gambling in every way but if you are addicted to it, I suggest you put your money on CM Punk doing at least one of the two.
As for tonight, I'm teamed up with my Second City Saints partner Colt Cabana, who by the way was also robbed of a world title oppertunity, against the fomer four Horseman members, Mike Knox and of course, HBK. A man no stranger to Royal Rumbles, won two back to back in the mid-nineties, the first to draw number one and win it all. A man no stranger to gold either, the very first grand slam champion. Still, for all you have done in this company, you are still a stranger to CM Punk and this isn't the mid-nineties Shawn, it's 2010. A new era has arrived in WCWWE so it doesn't really matter to me what you've done or what you plan to do either. I will pin or make you tap out tonight, I will take your United States Championship in the very near future and if our paths should cross in the Rumble itself, I will throw you over that top rope and personally make sure you're nowhere near the title picture March 26th.
Then there's Mike Knox and the dreaded beard of doom. A man I beat countless times back in 2006 and a man I will glady beat again tonight. Don't take this the wrong way Knoxy but I'm going to let Colt handle you tonight. Just consider youself lucky, you're not the one I'm looking to pin or make tap but as I said about Shawn, cross my path at the PPV, you will be eliminated once and for all. Going back to Colt for a minute, we've had our wars before and I'm sure we will again. Tonight we're on the same team but come the Royal Rumble, it's every man for himself. Personally, I'd like us to be the final two but the road to WrestleMania can lead you down some strange paths.
That covers three out of the twenty nine but forget about the former Rumble winners like Triple H, Batista, The Undertaker or John Cena. Forget about the former world champions like Big Show, Chris Jericho, Edge or MVP. Forget about the giants, the crusierweights, the technical guys, the high flyers, the brawlers, forget everything. For that one hour, we all share a common goal and that is to go down in history as the winner of the Royal Rumble. I don't know whether it's going to be me but I'm damn sure going to try and I wouldn't expect anything else from the twenty nine other guys either. Smackdown, Raw, FightClub, friend, foe, see you everyday, never met you in my life, I will throw out anyone who wants to cost me the oppertunity at being world champion. It's already happened once and you're going to have to be damn lucky for it to happen a second time. Then again, I always say luck is for losers. Something I'm not. Will I win the Royal Rumble? Good chance I could, good chance I won't but I promise you this, I will leave WrestleMania with gold around my waist, whether that's the United States Championship or the World Heavyweight Championship. It's just a matter of time before the era of Punk comes into full swing and Showstopper, I'd be real careful if I was you. You're in my sights and all the beards in the world can't save you. Enjoy your title run while it still lasts. Tonight is a preview of greater things to come. Wait and see.
I wonder if his feelings towards colt are still the same after this. The match later on should be rather interesting
Layla jumps on Katie’s back and applies a sleeper hold… Katie struggles for a bit but it eventually becomes too much for her… she goes down to one knee… her arm goes limp… Layla is screaming at the ref to check her! He does so…
he lifts her arm… 1!...
He lifts it again… 2!...
He lifts it the last time… it begins to fall…then Katie comes alive!!
She fights against Layla and grabs her arm… she’s pulling it away!! She slips out…turns around quickly and kicks layla in the gut…. KAT NAP!!!

Here is your winner.. Katie Lea!!
Stephanie McMahon makes her way down to the ring. She climbs thru the ropes and acknowledges the crowd who cheers for their GM. She asks for a mic.
Hello WCWWE Smackdown Fans!! *cheap pop*
What a week we have had! First here on Smackdown last week… we named the #1 contenders to the Tag Team Championships… Smackdown’s very own… John Morrison and The Miz!
Then on Raw, we saw Alicia Fox defeat Maryse in the finals to become the #1 contender for the women’s title!
On ECW, we saw Smackdown’s own Colt Cabana reach the finals in the tournament to name the #1 contender for the WCWWE Undisputed Heavyweight Championship!
Congratulations go out to all of those that did well in those tournaments, and good luck to the winners at their matches at the Royal Rumble.
Speaking of the Rumble… I have here in my hand the names of the Smackdown participants in the Royal Rumble Match… And remember, the winner of the Rumble match gets to go on to face the WCWWE Undisputed Champion at Wrestlemania!
The entrants are as follows…
Mark Henry *boos*
Carlito *cheers*
Charlie Haas *mixed reaction*
Matt Striker *BOOS*
MVP *LOUD BOOS*
CM Punk *CHEERS*
United States Champion… Shawn Michaels!! *BOOS*
John Cena *Very loud and mixed reactions*
Colt Cabana! *LOUD BOOS*
and Triple H! *CHEERS*
Good luck to the Smackdown talent into this match! Do us proud!
Now on to other business…
As you all know… we held a tournament to see who would challenge Shawn Michaels for the Unites States Championship. Shawn Michaels interfered in the finals of that tournament between CM Punk and John Morrison.
We never got a clear cut winner, and Shawn thinks he has beat the system. We’ll, Shawn, I’m here to tell you, you are WRONG. So instead of giving a title shot to one of these men, I am going to give it to both of them! *Cheers*
Now seeing that I need a high caliber match for the Royal Rumble, and John Morrison is already in a championship match… At the Royal Rumble it is going to be…
The United States Champion, The Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels… defending his belt against… CM Punk! *LOUD CHEERS*
The winner of that match will go on to face John Morrison at a later date.
And now for my last bit of business to deal with. Last week I got a phone call that a certain tag team was unhappy that I did not place them in the tag team tournament. Though they still have not revealed themselves to me, they are threatening to press legal charges against me, Smackdown, and the entire WCWWE.
They were suppose to meet me here this week, but I have yet to hear anything, and I tire of waiting. So whoever you are… get out here right now so we can settle this!
…
…
…
A man dressed in a very expensive looking business suit walks out, with papers and a mic in hand.
Ms. Stephanie McMahon. We didn’t want to have to do this in public, but we’ll do it your way.
You are correct with one thing… My clients ARE unhappy…
But let me clarify a few other things… they are not threatening of taking legal action… they ARE taking legal action… *he gets booed as he waves the papers in the air* And in doing so, I have advised them not to talk with anyone without myself present, and at a designated point in time. There is a time and place to do this, and here and now is not the time. So no, this will not be settled tonight…things are just getting started, and they are about to get a lot worse for you.
But… tonight is not a complete loss for you Ms. McMahon. You ARE within your legal right to know who is pressing charges against you. And they are here with me… tonight…
*he points to the entryway*
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uyhh1QEvyzY
OH MY GOD!
*The Bella Twins walk out and stand on either side of the lawyer. Both stare down at Stephanie… who is in shock*
The Bella Twins are the ones pressing legal charges!? What are they thinking!?
*The crowd starts booing again, it seems to affect Brie a little, but Nikki is unphased*
One thing is for sure… we aren’t finding anything out this week. As their lawyer has advised that they don’t speak with anyone til a later date. What a turn of events! We have to break for commercial… we’ll be right back! Don’t miss it!
*Stephanie is shown staring down the ramp as the video feed fades out to commercial*
Punk and Cabana don’t seem to be their normal selves tagging together. Their moves are tentative… tags are second guessed… and their timing is off throughout the contest. But the tag team of HBK and Knox, once a part of the now defunct 4 Horsemen, also have their problems.
The match goes back and forth… and at one point all 4 men are in the ring. Knox is beating down on Punk in one corner while Colt trades blows with HBK. Knox notices this and comes over and pulls colt off of him, but with the ref’s vision blocked…he mule kicks Knox. Knox is standing there VERY unsteady… Colt turns just in time to see HBK go for a SCM… but he ducks it and it hits Knox instead! But Knox is still up on his feet!! Colt clotheslines HBK out of the ring and they both tumble to the floor. Knox is still staggering around the ring, Punk comes up behind him, spins him around… Go 2 Sleep!
1..

Here are your winners: CM Punk and Colt Cabana… the 2nd City Saints!!
Colt gets back in the ring to start celebrating, but punk slides out of the ring and starts heading back up the ramp.
Cabana is shown in the ring leaning on the ropes looking up at Punk. Shot then shows Punk at the top of the ramp with his hands on his hips, looking very troubled!
Is punk turning his back on his partner? Has Colt’s actions tonight gone too far? Are the Second City Saints done? Tune in next week to find out more as this story develops!!
*Show fades to a close*
Thanks to Evil M, MikeyP, PN, Hayden, AA, MattJ for your involvement in putting the show together.
Thanks to everyone who was here during the show.
It was a pretty good one IMO.

Since Hacksaw and I have already proven just how great we are as a tag team, so much so that we have to face a team at the Rumble who we have already soundly beaten. The Miz and Morrison are nothing but jokes who were an embarrassment to call themselves champions. I am a proud knight and Hacksaw is a hall of fame member. We are the definition of a great team.
But tonight we get the Miz and Morrison in two separate matches, just another way to show just how dominate we are in the ring. I am out to prove to my uncle Bret that I am the next generation of the excellence of execution!
We are not going to do any joke of a show or tell you we are from Hollywood. We are a real tag team and we are real champions. We will show tonight as we begin our decent to yet another successful title defense just why we are two of the greatest here in the WCWWE! We are the champions and tonight we show it! HOOOOOOO!
*Duggan and Hart walk confidently towards the ring.*

John Morrison is in the back.
Hello. I‘m John Morrison. It‘s Spanish for one half of the greatest tag team in Smackdown history.
Tonight, I see that I have a match against one half of the current WCWWE World Tag Team Champions, Sir David Hart.
Now David, I know you and Hacksaw Duggan are an amazing team. You‘ve got the belts to prove it, too. But the only reason you guys have those belts is because you haven‘t faced Miz and myself yet.
So tonight David, you get a preview of what‘s to come at the Rumble. When it‘s all said and done, Miz and myself will be the NEW Unified WCWWE Tag Team Champions.
But please boys, don‘t be bitter.
Be jealous.

*Cena gets loud boos but with a few cheers mixed in which he smirks at*
Tonight you face Mark Henry but you have to be somewhat angry at not being entered into the WCWWE Championship tournament on ECW.
Hehe, you'd think so. But no. You see it all make perfect sense.
It does?
Sure it does. Think about it. Ever since the prize for winning the Royal Rumble became a title shot at Wrestlemania, it has been the traditional route to main eventing the grandest stage of them all. It makes perfect sense. You have your top drawing star chase the title to Wrestlemania where he overcomes the odds and wins the title. He creates a Wrestlemania moment and sends everybody home happy. Shawn Michaels did it at Wrestlemania 12. Triple H did it at Wrestlemania 18. Batista did it at Wrestlemania 21. Hell, Stone Cold Steve Austin did it three times at Wrestlemania 14, 15 AND 17. In fact I don't remember the last guy who won the Rumble and didn't win the title.
Uh, that was you two years ago.
Funny. No the correct answer is the man I am going to face tonight, Mark Henry. And why did Mark Henry not win the World title at Wrestlemania 25? Because he isn't a draw. He doesn't sell tickets, he doesn't send buyrates rocketing, he doesn't pop ratings, nobody buys his shirt...does he even have a shirt
The point is I do all of those things. And tonight, after I defeat Mark Henry, I am challenging another former Royal Rumble winner. Next week - John Cena v SHAWN MICHAELS!
Wow, that'll be a great match.
You're damn right it will be. So I'm telling you all, order the Royal Rumble on January the 22nd. Sit down a with few beers and a big bucket of popcorn and watch the richest prize in our sport be contested between a Russian and a Scotsman. Then watch as I eliminate 29 other men and make a Wrestlemania moment by taking the title from whichever one of them wins that match. And you know what? I don't even need the belt to say it because we all know it's gonna happen anyway.
The Champ IS HERE!

*Rather somber*Ladies and gentlemen… The following interview was recorded earlier tonight, before Colt’s heinous act. Let’s see what he had to say.
I'm here along with one of the thirty men who will be apart of this year's Royal Rumble, CM Punk. Last week on FightClub, you had a chance to become the number one contender to the WCWWE World Heavyweight Championship but instead, you were eliminated by Drew McIntyre in the first round. What are your thoughts on what took place?
As much as it pains me to admit it, predicting that I would win the entire tournament was a little over confidence on my part. Also, as much as it pains me to admit it, Drew McIntyre was the better man that night. However, there was no way I should have gone out as early as I did. I take pride in being one of the best in the world and my efforts last week were abysmal. Failure is not an option for CM Punk and as a result, I have given myself two challenges to accomplish by January 23rd, the night after the Royal Rumble. The first is quite simple, take the United States Championship from that low life Shawn Michaels. The second is easier said then done. Defeat twenty nine other men in order to main event WrestleMania. I'm not a betting man, I'm against gambling in every way but if you are addicted to it, I suggest you put your money on CM Punk doing at least one of the two.
As for tonight, I'm teamed up with my Second City Saints partner Colt Cabana, who by the way was also robbed of a world title oppertunity, against the fomer four Horseman members, Mike Knox and of course, HBK. A man no stranger to Royal Rumbles, won two back to back in the mid-nineties, the first to draw number one and win it all. A man no stranger to gold either, the very first grand slam champion. Still, for all you have done in this company, you are still a stranger to CM Punk and this isn't the mid-nineties Shawn, it's 2010. A new era has arrived in WCWWE so it doesn't really matter to me what you've done or what you plan to do either. I will pin or make you tap out tonight, I will take your United States Championship in the very near future and if our paths should cross in the Rumble itself, I will throw you over that top rope and personally make sure you're nowhere near the title picture March 26th.
Then there's Mike Knox and the dreaded beard of doom. A man I beat countless times back in 2006 and a man I will glady beat again tonight. Don't take this the wrong way Knoxy but I'm going to let Colt handle you tonight. Just consider youself lucky, you're not the one I'm looking to pin or make tap but as I said about Shawn, cross my path at the PPV, you will be eliminated once and for all. Going back to Colt for a minute, we've had our wars before and I'm sure we will again. Tonight we're on the same team but come the Royal Rumble, it's every man for himself. Personally, I'd like us to be the final two but the road to WrestleMania can lead you down some strange paths.
That covers three out of the twenty nine but forget about the former Rumble winners like Triple H, Batista, The Undertaker or John Cena. Forget about the former world champions like Big Show, Chris Jericho, Edge or MVP. Forget about the giants, the crusierweights, the technical guys, the high flyers, the brawlers, forget everything. For that one hour, we all share a common goal and that is to go down in history as the winner of the Royal Rumble. I don't know whether it's going to be me but I'm damn sure going to try and I wouldn't expect anything else from the twenty nine other guys either. Smackdown, Raw, FightClub, friend, foe, see you everyday, never met you in my life, I will throw out anyone who wants to cost me the oppertunity at being world champion. It's already happened once and you're going to have to be damn lucky for it to happen a second time. Then again, I always say luck is for losers. Something I'm not. Will I win the Royal Rumble? Good chance I could, good chance I won't but I promise you this, I will leave WrestleMania with gold around my waist, whether that's the United States Championship or the World Heavyweight Championship. It's just a matter of time before the era of Punk comes into full swing and Showstopper, I'd be real careful if I was you. You're in my sights and all the beards in the world can't save you. Enjoy your title run while it still lasts. Tonight is a preview of greater things to come. Wait and see.
I wonder if his feelings towards colt are still the same after this. The match later on should be rather interesting

Stephanie McMahon makes her way down to the ring. She climbs thru the ropes and acknowledges the crowd who cheers for their GM. She asks for a mic.
Hello WCWWE Smackdown Fans!! *cheap pop*
What a week we have had! First here on Smackdown last week… we named the #1 contenders to the Tag Team Championships… Smackdown’s very own… John Morrison and The Miz!
Then on Raw, we saw Alicia Fox defeat Maryse in the finals to become the #1 contender for the women’s title!
On ECW, we saw Smackdown’s own Colt Cabana reach the finals in the tournament to name the #1 contender for the WCWWE Undisputed Heavyweight Championship!
Congratulations go out to all of those that did well in those tournaments, and good luck to the winners at their matches at the Royal Rumble.
Speaking of the Rumble… I have here in my hand the names of the Smackdown participants in the Royal Rumble Match… And remember, the winner of the Rumble match gets to go on to face the WCWWE Undisputed Champion at Wrestlemania!
The entrants are as follows…
Mark Henry *boos*

and Triple H! *CHEERS*
Good luck to the Smackdown talent into this match! Do us proud!
Now on to other business…
As you all know… we held a tournament to see who would challenge Shawn Michaels for the Unites States Championship. Shawn Michaels interfered in the finals of that tournament between CM Punk and John Morrison.
We never got a clear cut winner, and Shawn thinks he has beat the system. We’ll, Shawn, I’m here to tell you, you are WRONG. So instead of giving a title shot to one of these men, I am going to give it to both of them! *Cheers*
Now seeing that I need a high caliber match for the Royal Rumble, and John Morrison is already in a championship match… At the Royal Rumble it is going to be…
The United States Champion, The Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels… defending his belt against… CM Punk! *LOUD CHEERS*
The winner of that match will go on to face John Morrison at a later date.
And now for my last bit of business to deal with. Last week I got a phone call that a certain tag team was unhappy that I did not place them in the tag team tournament. Though they still have not revealed themselves to me, they are threatening to press legal charges against me, Smackdown, and the entire WCWWE.
They were suppose to meet me here this week, but I have yet to hear anything, and I tire of waiting. So whoever you are… get out here right now so we can settle this!

A man dressed in a very expensive looking business suit walks out, with papers and a mic in hand.
Ms. Stephanie McMahon. We didn’t want to have to do this in public, but we’ll do it your way.
You are correct with one thing… My clients ARE unhappy…
But let me clarify a few other things… they are not threatening of taking legal action… they ARE taking legal action… *he gets booed as he waves the papers in the air* And in doing so, I have advised them not to talk with anyone without myself present, and at a designated point in time. There is a time and place to do this, and here and now is not the time. So no, this will not be settled tonight…things are just getting started, and they are about to get a lot worse for you.
But… tonight is not a complete loss for you Ms. McMahon. You ARE within your legal right to know who is pressing charges against you. And they are here with me… tonight…
*he points to the entryway*

OH MY GOD!
*The Bella Twins walk out and stand on either side of the lawyer. Both stare down at Stephanie… who is in shock*
The Bella Twins are the ones pressing legal charges!? What are they thinking!?
*The crowd starts booing again, it seems to affect Brie a little, but Nikki is unphased*
One thing is for sure… we aren’t finding anything out this week. As their lawyer has advised that they don’t speak with anyone til a later date. What a turn of events! We have to break for commercial… we’ll be right back! Don’t miss it!

First to 4

Punk and Cabana don’t seem to be their normal selves tagging together. Their moves are tentative… tags are second guessed… and their timing is off throughout the contest. But the tag team of HBK and Knox, once a part of the now defunct 4 Horsemen, also have their problems.
The match goes back and forth… and at one point all 4 men are in the ring. Knox is beating down on Punk in one corner while Colt trades blows with HBK. Knox notices this and comes over and pulls colt off of him, but with the ref’s vision blocked…he mule kicks Knox. Knox is standing there VERY unsteady… Colt turns just in time to see HBK go for a SCM… but he ducks it and it hits Knox instead! But Knox is still up on his feet!! Colt clotheslines HBK out of the ring and they both tumble to the floor. Knox is still staggering around the ring, Punk comes up behind him, spins him around… Go 2 Sleep!

Here are your winners: CM Punk and Colt Cabana… the 2nd City Saints!!
Colt gets back in the ring to start celebrating, but punk slides out of the ring and starts heading back up the ramp.
Cabana is shown in the ring leaning on the ropes looking up at Punk. Shot then shows Punk at the top of the ramp with his hands on his hips, looking very troubled!
Is punk turning his back on his partner? Has Colt’s actions tonight gone too far? Are the Second City Saints done? Tune in next week to find out more as this story develops!!
*Show fades to a close*
Thanks to Evil M, MikeyP, PN, Hayden, AA, MattJ for your involvement in putting the show together.
Thanks to everyone who was here during the show.
It was a pretty good one IMO.
