Teddy Long is shown on the screen. He thanks the crowd and says that there is an announcement. He says that tonight, the Pick-Your-Poison matches have been chosen. He says that tonight, by request of Edge... Christian will go one-on-one with Randy Orton! By request of Christian, Edge will take on Smackdown!'s resident saviour, Chris Jericho in a non-title match!
He says that to make this more interesting the person that wins their match will get to choose the stipulation at the Pay Per View. If the both win, the person who won quickest will choose. If nobody wins, the stipulation will remain as is.
In The Ring:
Jamie Noble is standing in the ring with a microphone in his hand. He tells the crowd to shut up because he has something to say. He says that last week he proved that even international heroes cannot defeat the "Redneck Messiah". He says that he has proven that he is not only the greatest Cruiserweight on Smackdown!, but he's the greatest Cruiserweight in THE WORLD!
He is interrupted by a crow sound as music blasts over the speakers. Billy Kidman enters the arena to a massive amount of cheers. He thanks the fans before telling Jamie Noble that nobody wants to hear him talk crap, people want to see him prove it. Kidman says that he's beaten Noble for the Cruiserweight Title before, so tonight will be Déjà vu for him!

WWE Cruiserweight Championship: International Challenge
Jamie Noble (c) vs. Billy Kidman
A fantastic cruiserweight showcase. Kidman gets alot of momentum by hitting some nice, flowing moves. It seems he hasnt missed a beat. He superkicks Noble then hits an enzuigiri and pins him for a two count. After a few minutes, Noble fights back, reversing a hurricanrana into a sitdown-powerbomb. He pins Kidman, also for a two-count. Noble beats down on Kidman, but he fights back. Kidman goes punch for punch until he takes Noble off his feet. Kidman nails a tornado DDT and climbs to the top rope.
He pumps the crowd and leaps off with the Shooting Star Press. BAM! Jamie Noble moves and Kidman hits the mat hard. Noble mocks him by pointing to his head in an "too smart for you" kind of way. Noble lifts him up and nails a Fireman's Carry Gutbuster and pins Kidman for the victory after about 10 minutes of great cruiserweight action.
Winner: Jamie Noble
---------------------------------------------------
Noble raises his title in the air before turning around to leave the arena. A heavy riff starts to play as the lights darken in the arena.
"A monster... has returned"
"The monster... is back"
"You can't stop him"
"You can only try..."
"The Great American Bash"
"Smackdown! will never be the same again!"
The announcers play it up, asking who they think it is. None of them seem to have any idea.
Backstage:
The Embassy walks into Teddy Long's office. They demand to be in the main event tonight and every other night, because they are THE main attraction here. Teddy Long asks them why they think they deserve it. Regal tells him that the American's that hog the limelight don't deserve it at all and that they are here to take it back, rightfully, for those who truly deserve it. Teddy Long says he will give them a chance to show the world what they have, but it will be at the Great American Bash. He says that after a series of qualifying matches, he will determine "Team America" which will take on the Embassy in an elimination match at the show.

He says that after he defeats the "Entertainment Killer" tonight, he will make sure the stipulation is interesting. Edge tells the Alliance to take care of him, but Chris Jericho walks up. He tells Edge to watch out, because tonight, Jericho will save the crowd from the spineless, boring jackasses known as The Alliance!
