Welcome to Tuesday Night Smackdown!
I am your guest host for the evening… Joey Styles! Michael Cole could not be here tonight… as he was asked to help in the search for a new broadcasting partner.
This is the first Smackdown of the 2nd year of WCWWE and we are in for an incredible show here tonight… Not one… but TWO championships will be on the line… Also, former Cult allies are pitted against each other as the remnants take on Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Braddock.
Also in action will be MVP and Striker… this duo has been on quite a roll lately… can they keep up their winning ways?
Also in acti…
What’s that? I’m being told we must head over to the ring… Keep watching folks… its bound to be an eventful evening!
Vince McMahon's struts his way down to the ring with a microphone in hand.
Ladies and gentlemen, I am here for two reasons tonight, and two reasons only, so I will not keep you here for long.
To lead into my first statement here tonight - I would like to congratulate the new WCWWE Tag Team Champions, John Morrison and The Miz, who will defend their titles here tonight against none other than Mike Knox and Shawn Michaels! I would also like to extend my congratulations to the new Extreme Tag Team Champions in Lance Hoyt and Low Ki. And I would finally like to congratulate the World Tag Team Champions, the Cool Connection on their title run, and also Hacksaw Jim Duggan and Sir David Hart who have become number one contenders for those title belts.
Now... there is no coincidence that I am congratulating these particular tandems. You see, as far as I can see the Tag Team division is incredibly strong right now - look at who presently hold the belts, look at who are getting shots! But if I were to ask each and every person in this arena who they consider the tag champions... some will say....John Morrison and The Miz!
The crowd boos.
...some will say... the Cool Connection...
The crowd cheers.
...and the others would say Lance Hoyt and Low Ki!
The crowd again cheers.
We claim to be the worldwide leaders in our brand of sports-entertainment... and yet we have no idea who the best tag team in WCWWE is. To me, that seems a little unusual. So, what I am announcing right now is a match for Survivor Series. It will be the World Tag Team Champions vs. the WCWWE Tag Team Champions vs. the Extreme Tag Team Champions... and that match will be to UNIFY the three to create Unified Tag Team Champions for the first time in 7 years!
These unified champions will appear on all 3 brands, battling with tag teams all across the board. And in fact until Survivor Series, the current champs of the 3 brands can appear on all 3 shows. I mean, if these guys don't get to interact then what are we gonna put in the video package to hype the match huh? But in all seriousness, in less than 5 weeks we finally answer the question - who is the best team in the world today!
Now, I said I had 2 things to address. The second one is fairly simple actually. No question needs answered, because I know the answer. MVP... at Friday Night's Main Event you shot me. I've known it since it happened. You may be wondering why I've done nothing about it... but MVP... I'm not gonna be obvious with you. I'm a patient man, and when the moment is right, you will pay for what you've done to me. I guaran...tee it.
Vince's music begins playing again as we go to commercial.
*to the ring where John Morrison and The Miz sit in directors chairs*
Hi, I'm John Morrison and I'm the only known cure for male hetrosexuality.
Really? You...?
No. We don't swing that way in the Palace of Wisdom. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
And I'm your chick magnet, THE MIZ!
And we wish to remind you all that light has shined through the darkness, clarity has been restored and we are once again your WWE tag team champions.
*the crowd boos*
Yes, it was a great injustice losing these belts in the first place. But everything is now as it should be.
And now we can focus on our next challengers.
And unlike the previous scrubs we've faced, people actually care about these guys. We they care about Shawn Michaels. Well they did about a few months ago. The point is these guys aren't completely useless!
And not only that, but we get to face actual stars. Not stars on our level but stars nonetheless.
What you talking 'bout, John?
Well take a look. First up we have Mike Knox also known as....Captain CAAAAAVEMAAAAAAANNNN!!!!
Unfortunately the nearest he gets to teen angels is when he hangs around his local high school.
Chris Hansen may want to talk to you. That's all we're saying.
As for Shawn Michaels, I especially enjoyed his work as the Crazy Old Man on The Simpsons.
Old Gray Mare just ain't what she used to be.
Neither is the Has Been Kid.
But you see we're actually excited to get a real team. A real thrown together team.
Unfortunately in life there are winners...
Us.
And there are losers.
You two after you fail to defeat the greatest team in ALL of WCWWE.
We will still be tag team champions and you will simply...
Be Jeal...
*Shawn Michaels and Mike Knox walk down and join Miz and Morrison in the ring.*
You guys are so funny. A joke about my age! Goodness gracious why didn't anyone else think of that. And Mike he has a beard! so you use a caveman joke! Do you right your own material? A career in Hollywood may be in your future if so.
Its jokes like me being old that made me quit WCWWE on Raw a few weeks ago. I realized they were right and I was too old for this company.....NAH! I didn't quit WCWWE I just needed an escape clause from Raw so I could come to Smackdown with Mike and we could take the WCWWE Tag Titles from you two.
When Shawn approached me with this idea I didn't know what to say. Him and I haven't got along since he superkicked me at Survivor Series 2006. But then I realized this man is a legend and it would be my honor to assist this man in destroying the two of you and taking your titles.
Mr. Anderson gave us a lucrative sum of money to defect here from our brands and do this and we aint gonna disappoint him guys. We will take your championship and dominate this brand as tag team champions.
So you can make your childish jokes about us but the fact is even just one of us has more talent than you and together we will beat you and we will take those titles.
*HBK and Knox walk away leaving Morrison and Miz standing in the ring looking peeved
WOW… add this with either the tag team of Miz and Morrison splitting up, or Arn Anderson losing his job… this match is really heating up!
First to the Ring
Primo and Carlito… the colons!
And their challengers
John Munaki and the Haas!
*They come out wearing some fake WCWWE Tag Team Titles, mimicking MizMo perfectly… The colons are not amused*
Carlito lands a backstabber on Munaki, primo rushes in and knocks Haas off the ring apron…
1..
2..
3!!
Here are your winners… Carlito and Primo… the Colons!
With the recent announcement from Vince, Arn must consider giving the colons another title shot before the Survivor Series tag team unification match!
Something is amiss here. Ezekiel and I are two of the most powerful, dominating forces in this company, and yet here we are, treated as afterthoughts in the tag team divisions. Where once we were champions, now we've had to sit back and watch as other teams take the spotlight.
Well not anymore! Tonight we face two men that used to be our Cult brethren. Mr Kennedy and Mr Braddock - you best be prepared for a beating so severe, you'll wish you'd never showed up. Ezekiel and I have a point to prove to everybody, and we will crush all who cross our path until we are champions once again.
Tonight emerges a new era for the Remnants. A fresh beginning.
*Kane pulls out a match and lights it*
This fire may soon burn out. But the fire Ezekiel and I have inside us is everlasting. Tonight, Kennedy and Braddock will also know what its like to get burned.
*Kane cackles menacingly*
JS: Wow… Remnants have been winless since winning the tag team titles back in July… can they really turn things around? Or is this the beginning of the end of this once dominate duo?
First… Already in the ring… Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Braddock!
And their Opponents
Kane and Ezekiel… the Remnants!
Kane and Ezekiel hit simultaneous choke slams on Kennedy and Braddock. Kane makes the cover.
1..
2..
3!!
They did it! Kane and Ezekiel not only avenged their ejection from the Cult, but pick up their first win in nearly 3 months!!
Earlier this week, I had a chance to catch up with Mickie James after last week’s actions… Let’s hear what she had to say.
Joey Styles here for wcwwe.com. I’m here at Mickie James’ home in Richmond, Virginia. Mickie, welcome.
Mickie looks at Joey, but doesn’t say anything.
Um… Mickie. I want to ask you the question that has been on everyone’s mind lately. What is going on with you? Since losing the WCWWE Women’s Championship to Katie Lea, you seem to have… well, snapped.
Mickie doesn’t say anything.
Um, Mickie? What’s wrong?
Nobody wants to hear me talk.
Mickie, that’s not true.
Then how come the fans always drown me out?
Well Mickie, there are no fans hear right now. Anything you want to say, go ahead and say it.
Really?
Please Mickie. Go right ahead.
Thanks Joey.
No problem. Now first of all, Mickie. What has happened to you? You’ve almost seemed unhinged the last several weeks.
Snapped? Unhinged? Is that what people are saying about me? Really? Excuse me for being upset about losing something that meant the world to me, then not being given a chance to say something about it!
Well, here’s your chance now.
Winning the Women’s Championship from Katie Lea was a dream come true for me. All I wanted was to finally be the Champion again. I was on top of the world. Then, eight days later, it all came crashing down. I was caught off guard and Katie got the better of me. Plain and simple. But the fans, all they wanted to do was point and laugh. They didn’t want to wait and hear what I had to say.
Well, just days after you lost the title, you appeared on Smackdown, in a losing effort against Beth Phoenix and Katie Lea in a triple threat match. Following the match, you broke down in tears, as your boyfriend John Cena tried to comfort you.
Joey, the fans were booing me, not even giving me a chance to say what was on my mind. I‘m a human being, just like those fans. And to be treated the way I was, it hurt. And as for John Cena, he‘s my ex-boyfriend, Joey. Things just didn‘t work out.
I’m sorry to hear that Mickie. The following week, you and Layla were in a tag team match, but when the match ended, you brutally attacked your partner.
Again Joey, I was very upset with my treatment by the fans. Layla, I really hope your OK, honey. I didn‘t mean to hurt you. I‘m very sorry.
Now, moving on to just last week. You were scheduled for a tag team contest, but before the match, you once again attempted to address the crowd, only to be drowned out once more. You left the ring and confronted a pair of fans at ringside. You slapped one fan, then, as his girlfriend checked on him, you pulled her over the rail and proceeded to viciously assault her, then lock her in the STF. What was going through your head?
Joey, they were booing me. Mocking me. I did the first thing that popped into my head. Obviously, it was wrong and once again I‘m sorry.
Arn Anderson suspended you for one week and Vince McMahon fined you $5,000.
They did what they had to do, Joey.
And now I understand that Mia Mancini, the woman you attacked, is going to be at Smackdown next week.
Really? Mia, I plan on being there next week, because I want to apologize in person for my unprofessional conduct.
Well, I’m not sure how the powers-that-be will feel about you being near Ms. Mancini again, but that is very big of you Mickie.
Big of me? Was that a fat joke?!
What?! No of course n-
Relax Joey, I was only joking! Haha!
Oh. Right. Of course. *phew* Mickie, I’d like to thank you for your time today. This is Joey Styles signing off.
Before he issues the caged beast challenge, Mark Henry gets a microphone
Who is ready to step up with most dangerous man in WCWWE? Who is ready to get their necks broke? You saw what I did to Finlay! You saw what I did to whats-his-name last week! Tonight, what fool dares to take my money away? One who is about to be six feet under!
Mark Henry waits…
…
Sebastian Slater!? *Slater walks out limping and pretty bandaged up after last week’s mauling.*
He must be really wanting that money. This is just insane!!
Mark Henry makes easy work of the injury laden Slater. Worlds strongest slam!
1..
2..
Slater kicks his feet faintly in an attempt to kick out… all in vain…
3!!
Here is your winner… Mark Henry!!
Sorry about the technical difficulties folks… Looks like we are all back up and running now though… We’re about to head to the ring for the match already in progress…Sorry about not being able to see the ring entrances folks… They were simply amazing
Tatsu hits a Moonsault on striker! MVP enters the ring quickly, but Yang rushes over and attacks MVP before he can get out of his corner. The ref gets between Yang and MVP and drags Yang back to his corner… with the Ref’s back turned to him, MVP rushes over and hits the players boot on Tatsu! He pulls Tatsu off of Striker, and then lays Striker’s arm over Tatsu. Yang finally is out of the ring, but doesn’t notice the cover.
1..
Yang realizes who’s making the cover.
2..
Yang rushes in..
3!!
He was too late!
Here are your winners, MVP and Matt Striker!!
MVP pulls striker out of the ring and helps him to the back.
*"Classic" Colt Cabana and Maria are seen backstage.*
So... this is it.
After Yangbana...
After winning and losing the WCWWE Tag Team Titles in a week...
After everything....
I have my shot at the United States Championship.
Ever since I left The Resistance (on good terms, if you didn't know), I've made it my mission to be a wrestler instead of a sports entertainer. And through a Yangbana reunion, through setbacks, I find myself three seconds away from winning the top prize on Smackdown.
My opponents tonight are nothing to overlook. R-Truth and Butterfingers, two guys who have achieved quite a bit in WCWWE. Truth won 5 Chances of Glory and came within milliseconds of winning the WCWWE Championship and is the current US Champion.
Snickers... well, he won the WCWWE US and Heavyweight Championship a while ago. And he was dating Mickie James, I think. Quite the downfall, eh Snick?
Now, both these men are among the best at what they do, and they're a challenge for anyone they face.
*Cabana smiles.*
And I'm going to beat both of them.
Not because I'm more experienced, not because of my moves that give the girlies chills, yourself included Cole.
No, I'm winning tonight because I'm fighting for something more.
See, I've held my tongue for months now while I've watched people like The Boogeyman and Smithswoggle, but come on.
I entered this business because I wanted to be a PROFESSIONAL WRESTLER, not some "Sports Entertainer".
And while guys like me, Punk, and Truth will be wrestlers first and foremost, there's always going to be a group of guys who want to label themselves as "sports entertainers".
Well tonight, I going out there and winning the United States Title.
I'm going out there for those of us who are wrestlers first and foremost.
For those of us not conditioned to accept "sports entertainment".
For everyone...
I promise you, tonight "Classic" Colt Cabana brings back wrestling to Smackdown.
Let's go Maria.
*Cabana and Maria walk off-screen.*
*R-Truth is being interviewed in the back*
You know, all week people been saying I'm insane. A nutjob! That I need to seek professional help! Why on earth did you voluntarily decide to defend your belt in a triple threat match? And why on earth would you choose to face the likes of John Cena and Colt Cabana? Two of the best stars on Smac... two of the best wrestlers in the world today!
Well, I've got to respond to my apparent insanity. And honestly I can't think of any reason why I'm not insane for doing it either. I could theoretically lose my title tonight without even being pinned! What am I THINKING? I'm thinking.... what a challenge... what better way to prove myself than to win against all the odds? And what better way to bring the US title back to prominence?
Way I see it, in years to come, people are gonna look back on this match and pinpoint this as the moment the US title became important to the world of professional wrestling again. And that's... what's... up!
The following contest will be for the United States Championship!
First to the ring…
Colt Cabana!
And the next Opponent
John Cena!
And the final Competitor
The current US Champion R-Truth!
John Cena lifts R-Truth up and hits the FU! He goes for the cover
1..
2..
COLT CABANA JUST HIT A SPLASH FROM THE TOP ROPE ONTO BOTH MEN!! Oh no! Colt hurt himself in the process. He has a golden opportunity here if only he could capitalize on it!
R-Truth rolls to the edge of the ring and falls to the floor. Cabana and Cena both get up at the same time and start trading blows… CENA DUCKS ONE!! Cabana up for the FU!! OH MY GOD!! HE REVERSED IT! 720 DDT!!!
1..
2..
PLAYERS BOOT TO COLT CABANA!
WHAT’S MVP AND STRIKER DOING OUT HERE?!?!
Striker now picks up Cabana… and hits the golden rule!!
GET THEM OUT OF THERE REF! Finally! What chaos… Look at this… R-Truth is getting back in the ring.. he has no idea what happened! He looks at both men, Cabana looks out… Cena is beginning to get to his feet… AX KICK!
1…
2…
3!!!
R-Truth Retains!! But what about the MVP and Striker… what was their play in all this? Only time will tell I guess…. We’ll be right back with our main event!
*break*
It is time for the MAIN EVENT... and it is for the WCWWE Tag Team Champions of WOOOOooooorld.
Ladies and gentlemen… I ask you… are you rrrrready? *some cheers*
I can’t hear you… I asked… ARE… YOU…. RRRRREADY!!!! *Louder cheers*
Then for the thousands in attendance and the millions watching at home….
LLLLLLLLLLETS GET RRREADY TO RUMBALLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!
First, making thier way to the ring....
Weighing in at a combined weight of 454 pounds...5-time Tag Team champions, and the REIGNING WCWWE Tag Team Champions... John Morrison and the Miz!!
And the ch…
*The announcer looks confused… Arn Anderson makes his way down to the ring and climbs in. He goes over to the ref and they go back and forth a little bit. Finally you can overhear…
Do what you are told or you’ll be looking for a new job.
*Defeated the ref leaves the ring. Arn goes over to the announcer and whispers something in his ear…*
Ladies and gentlemen, you special guest referee for this match… Our very own Smackdown General Manager… Arn Anderson!
*Miz and Morrison are beside themselves as Arn peers over to them smiling*
This is really not fair! Arn Anderson is WAY overstepping his bounds here! He must really hate these guys! He just wants to keep his damn job, no matter what the cost!
And now…the challengers... first making his way to ring...
Weighing in at 293 pounds.... Former Hardcore champion…Mike Knox!
And his partner…
Weighing in at 225 pounds… 3-time WCWWE World Heavyweight champion…The Heatbreak Kid… Shawn Michaels!!!
Together they weigh in at 518 pounds and go by the name… Heart Break Knox!
*The four of them stand in the middle of the ring staring each other down, and jabbing back and forth. Arn makes Miz and HBK head to the outside as Knox and Morrison stand nose to nose. After a few moments… both Miz and HBK come back in the ring and also stand nose to nose…
Then all of a sudden…
…
…
All four men shake hands! *
HUH? What’s going on here?!?!
These four were suppose to be tearing each other apart! The crowd is in complete shock! They don’t know how to react to this! Arn can’t be happy right about now!
*Camera pans over to Arn, who has a total look of shock on his face as he watches the four shake hands. Then all four turn to Arn and walk over to him. Arn Anderson takes a big gulp and backs up into a corner. They all stand there peering down at Arn, then all of a sudden… Arn’s look of fear turns to a small smile! Then from a small smile to a big one! He sticks his hand out to Miz, who looks at a few moments… then HE SHAKES IT!! Then all four men follow suit shaking Arns hand and patting him on the back!
Arn walks over and asks for a microphone and the ring announcer hands him one. He walks back to the middle of the ring and addresses the crowd. *the crowd boos*
One year ago… the men standing in this ring before you…including myself… we were not part of the Smackdown roster. They each had success in their own right… Mike Knox… was the top superstar on Smackdown for nearly 3 months… Miz and Morrison… FIVE TIME Tag Team Champions… Shawn Michaels… THREE TIME WCWWE World Heavyweight Champion… These men did great things on their own. But will do much greater things together.
One thing was promised to everyone here tonight… The landscape of Smackdown is drastically changing... And everyone across the world is going to realize that it all started … here… tonight.
With that… I’d like to welcome you to the issuing in of new beginnings here on Smackdown… And the beginning…. of a NEW era….
*Arn Anderson drops the mic… looks right into the camera… lifts his hand…and shows four fingers. The others do the same*
OH MY GOD!!!
*Smackdown fades to a close*
Thanks to Perpetual Nirvana, The Headbanger Man , Evil M, Marvelously Mediocre, Above Average(twice), Michael Hayden, and Inspector Shetty(nice to have you) for your involvement in putting the show together…

Um, Mickie? What’s wrong?
Nobody wants to hear me talk.
Mickie, that’s not true.
Then how come the fans always drown me out?
Well Mickie, there are no fans hear right now. Anything you want to say, go ahead and say it.
Really?
Please Mickie. Go right ahead.
Thanks Joey.
No problem. Now first of all, Mickie. What has happened to you? You’ve almost seemed unhinged the last several weeks.
Snapped? Unhinged? Is that what people are saying about me? Really? Excuse me for being upset about losing something that meant the world to me, then not being given a chance to say something about it!
Well, here’s your chance now.
Winning the Women’s Championship from Katie Lea was a dream come true for me. All I wanted was to finally be the Champion again. I was on top of the world. Then, eight days later, it all came crashing down. I was caught off guard and Katie got the better of me. Plain and simple. But the fans, all they wanted to do was point and laugh. They didn’t want to wait and hear what I had to say.
Well, just days after you lost the title, you appeared on Smackdown, in a losing effort against Beth Phoenix and Katie Lea in a triple threat match. Following the match, you broke down in tears, as your boyfriend John Cena tried to comfort you.
Joey, the fans were booing me, not even giving me a chance to say what was on my mind. I‘m a human being, just like those fans. And to be treated the way I was, it hurt. And as for John Cena, he‘s my ex-boyfriend, Joey. Things just didn‘t work out.
I’m sorry to hear that Mickie. The following week, you and Layla were in a tag team match, but when the match ended, you brutally attacked your partner.
Again Joey, I was very upset with my treatment by the fans. Layla, I really hope your OK, honey. I didn‘t mean to hurt you. I‘m very sorry.
Now, moving on to just last week. You were scheduled for a tag team contest, but before the match, you once again attempted to address the crowd, only to be drowned out once more. You left the ring and confronted a pair of fans at ringside. You slapped one fan, then, as his girlfriend checked on him, you pulled her over the rail and proceeded to viciously assault her, then lock her in the STF. What was going through your head?
Joey, they were booing me. Mocking me. I did the first thing that popped into my head. Obviously, it was wrong and once again I‘m sorry.
Arn Anderson suspended you for one week and Vince McMahon fined you $5,000.
They did what they had to do, Joey.
And now I understand that Mia Mancini, the woman you attacked, is going to be at Smackdown next week.
Really? Mia, I plan on being there next week, because I want to apologize in person for my unprofessional conduct.
Well, I’m not sure how the powers-that-be will feel about you being near Ms. Mancini again, but that is very big of you Mickie.
Big of me? Was that a fat joke?!
What?! No of course n-
Relax Joey, I was only joking! Haha!
Oh. Right. Of course. *phew* Mickie, I’d like to thank you for your time today. This is Joey Styles signing off.
Before he issues the caged beast challenge, Mark Henry gets a microphone
Who is ready to step up with most dangerous man in WCWWE? Who is ready to get their necks broke? You saw what I did to Finlay! You saw what I did to whats-his-name last week! Tonight, what fool dares to take my money away? One who is about to be six feet under!
Mark Henry waits…
…
Sebastian Slater!? *Slater walks out limping and pretty bandaged up after last week’s mauling.*
He must be really wanting that money. This is just insane!!

Tatsu hits a Moonsault on striker! MVP enters the ring quickly, but Yang rushes over and attacks MVP before he can get out of his corner. The ref gets between Yang and MVP and drags Yang back to his corner… with the Ref’s back turned to him, MVP rushes over and hits the players boot on Tatsu! He pulls Tatsu off of Striker, and then lays Striker’s arm over Tatsu. Yang finally is out of the ring, but doesn’t notice the cover.
1..
Yang realizes who’s making the cover.

Yang rushes in..

He was too late!
Here are your winners, MVP and Matt Striker!!
MVP pulls striker out of the ring and helps him to the back.
*"Classic" Colt Cabana and Maria are seen backstage.*
So... this is it.
After Yangbana...
After winning and losing the WCWWE Tag Team Titles in a week...
After everything....
I have my shot at the United States Championship.
Ever since I left The Resistance (on good terms, if you didn't know), I've made it my mission to be a wrestler instead of a sports entertainer. And through a Yangbana reunion, through setbacks, I find myself three seconds away from winning the top prize on Smackdown.
My opponents tonight are nothing to overlook. R-Truth and Butterfingers, two guys who have achieved quite a bit in WCWWE. Truth won 5 Chances of Glory and came within milliseconds of winning the WCWWE Championship and is the current US Champion.
Snickers... well, he won the WCWWE US and Heavyweight Championship a while ago. And he was dating Mickie James, I think. Quite the downfall, eh Snick?
Now, both these men are among the best at what they do, and they're a challenge for anyone they face.
*Cabana smiles.*
And I'm going to beat both of them.
Not because I'm more experienced, not because of my moves that give the girlies chills, yourself included Cole.
No, I'm winning tonight because I'm fighting for something more.
See, I've held my tongue for months now while I've watched people like The Boogeyman and Smithswoggle, but come on.
I entered this business because I wanted to be a PROFESSIONAL WRESTLER, not some "Sports Entertainer".
And while guys like me, Punk, and Truth will be wrestlers first and foremost, there's always going to be a group of guys who want to label themselves as "sports entertainers".
Well tonight, I going out there and winning the United States Title.
I'm going out there for those of us who are wrestlers first and foremost.
For those of us not conditioned to accept "sports entertainment".
For everyone...
I promise you, tonight "Classic" Colt Cabana brings back wrestling to Smackdown.
Let's go Maria.
*Cabana and Maria walk off-screen.*
*R-Truth is being interviewed in the back*
You know, all week people been saying I'm insane. A nutjob! That I need to seek professional help! Why on earth did you voluntarily decide to defend your belt in a triple threat match? And why on earth would you choose to face the likes of John Cena and Colt Cabana? Two of the best stars on Smac... two of the best wrestlers in the world today!
Well, I've got to respond to my apparent insanity. And honestly I can't think of any reason why I'm not insane for doing it either. I could theoretically lose my title tonight without even being pinned! What am I THINKING? I'm thinking.... what a challenge... what better way to prove myself than to win against all the odds? And what better way to bring the US title back to prominence?
Way I see it, in years to come, people are gonna look back on this match and pinpoint this as the moment the US title became important to the world of professional wrestling again. And that's... what's... up!
The following contest will be for the United States Championship!
First to the ring…
Colt Cabana!
And the next Opponent
John Cena!
And the final Competitor
The current US Champion R-Truth!

R-Truth Retains!! But what about the MVP and Striker… what was their play in all this? Only time will tell I guess…. We’ll be right back with our main event!
*break*
It is time for the MAIN EVENT... and it is for the WCWWE Tag Team Champions of WOOOOooooorld.
Ladies and gentlemen… I ask you… are you rrrrready? *some cheers*
I can’t hear you… I asked… ARE… YOU…. RRRRREADY!!!! *Louder cheers*
Then for the thousands in attendance and the millions watching at home….
LLLLLLLLLLETS GET RRREADY TO RUMBALLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!
First, making thier way to the ring....
Weighing in at a combined weight of 454 pounds...5-time Tag Team champions, and the REIGNING WCWWE Tag Team Champions... John Morrison and the Miz!!
And the ch…
*The announcer looks confused… Arn Anderson makes his way down to the ring and climbs in. He goes over to the ref and they go back and forth a little bit. Finally you can overhear…
Do what you are told or you’ll be looking for a new job.
*Defeated the ref leaves the ring. Arn goes over to the announcer and whispers something in his ear…*
Ladies and gentlemen, you special guest referee for this match… Our very own Smackdown General Manager… Arn Anderson!
*Miz and Morrison are beside themselves as Arn peers over to them smiling*
This is really not fair! Arn Anderson is WAY overstepping his bounds here! He must really hate these guys! He just wants to keep his damn job, no matter what the cost!
And now…the challengers... first making his way to ring...
Weighing in at 293 pounds.... Former Hardcore champion…Mike Knox!
And his partner…
Weighing in at 225 pounds… 3-time WCWWE World Heavyweight champion…The Heatbreak Kid… Shawn Michaels!!!
Together they weigh in at 518 pounds and go by the name… Heart Break Knox!
*The four of them stand in the middle of the ring staring each other down, and jabbing back and forth. Arn makes Miz and HBK head to the outside as Knox and Morrison stand nose to nose. After a few moments… both Miz and HBK come back in the ring and also stand nose to nose…
Then all of a sudden…
…
…
All four men shake hands! *
HUH? What’s going on here?!?!
These four were suppose to be tearing each other apart! The crowd is in complete shock! They don’t know how to react to this! Arn can’t be happy right about now!
*Camera pans over to Arn, who has a total look of shock on his face as he watches the four shake hands. Then all four turn to Arn and walk over to him. Arn Anderson takes a big gulp and backs up into a corner. They all stand there peering down at Arn, then all of a sudden… Arn’s look of fear turns to a small smile! Then from a small smile to a big one! He sticks his hand out to Miz, who looks at a few moments… then HE SHAKES IT!! Then all four men follow suit shaking Arns hand and patting him on the back!
Arn walks over and asks for a microphone and the ring announcer hands him one. He walks back to the middle of the ring and addresses the crowd. *the crowd boos*
One year ago… the men standing in this ring before you…including myself… we were not part of the Smackdown roster. They each had success in their own right… Mike Knox… was the top superstar on Smackdown for nearly 3 months… Miz and Morrison… FIVE TIME Tag Team Champions… Shawn Michaels… THREE TIME WCWWE World Heavyweight Champion… These men did great things on their own. But will do much greater things together.
One thing was promised to everyone here tonight… The landscape of Smackdown is drastically changing... And everyone across the world is going to realize that it all started … here… tonight.
With that… I’d like to welcome you to the issuing in of new beginnings here on Smackdown… And the beginning…. of a NEW era….
*Arn Anderson drops the mic… looks right into the camera… lifts his hand…and shows four fingers. The others do the same*
OH MY GOD!!!
*Smackdown fades to a close*
