Helms winning was fine. Hopefully it'll be a victory for Swagger. Like how you're building up Swagger. Really liking this Brood stuff with Thorn, although not sure about Black. DQ was fine so nobody got hurt. Kennedy pinning Burke in a tag match made sense. Solid show for ECW standards.

- Helms winning gets a thumbs up from me. - DQ finish with Rey/Tyler made sense because the feud has just really started. - Well, I am assuming that since Kennedy pinned Burke, he won’t be winning the strap at the PPV. - Good show. I like the Brood angle.

I really like the ECW Logo and your format is really nice, I like the color choice. I like the intro and first match. Happy Hurricane Helms won, I like Sawgger attacking him after the match. I like your Brood stable and I liked the promos before the match. Good way to end the match, Rey losing would kill his heat, but Black couldn't lose cleanly. I like Dreamer making the save. I liked the main event, happy Brood interfered to continue the feud. I like the Kennedy/Burke feud.

Smackdown 5/8/09 Preview-Last week on Smackdown, World Champion Randy Orton addressed the Friday night fans. He proclaimed to be the best that Smackdown has to offer. The Undertaker didn't take too kindly to those words and confronted Orton. What will happen between these two tonight? Will they meet for the Title in the near future? -The WWE Tag Team Champions, The New Hart Foundation want to bring tag team wrestling back to the top. They can take a big step tonight as they will main event Smackdown when they face former Champions Carlito & Primo inside of a 15 foot high steel cage! Can the Colons regain the gold? Or will Wilson & Smith continue their dominance? -Plus, it was announced last week that Edge & Umaga would be facing Jeff Hardy & Shane McMahon at Judgment Day in a tag team Street Fight. Jeff will be in action against Mr. Money in the Bank, Shelton Benjamin. Will Umaga or Edge be around during that match? And will Shane be around to help Jeff if needed?

May 8th, 2009 Charleston Civic Center in Charleston, West Virginia Attendance: 12,588
This week’s Smackdown opened with a video package showing last week’s events. It showed the announcement of Edge & Umaga vs. Jeff Hardy & Shane McMahon at Judgment Day. The video then shows the end of Hardy’s match with Umaga and Edge’s interference. It ends by showing clips of Randy Orton’s promo that ended Smackdown last week and when it was interrupted by The Undertaker.
Tazz and Good ‘Ol JR welcome us to Smackdown and they run down tonight’s card which includes some big matches. The biggest will headline tonight as The New Hart Foundation will defend their WWE Tag Team Titles against Carlito & Primo in a Steel Cage match! Plus, we will once again hear from our World Champion Randy Orton about his confrontation with The Undertaker last week.
Singles Match Jeff Hardy vs. Shelton Benjamin
These two have good chemistry together and having them open the show was a great move. They put on a good match as expected. Shelton worked over Jeff for the majority of the match and got a few near falls. He got one after a Shell Bomb and one after a Dragon Whip kick. Jeff got back on the offensive when he hit a big dropkick in the corner and then the Whisper in the Winds. He climbed to the top for a Swanton Bomb, but out came Umaga. Jeff jumped off onto him, but Umaga caught him and slammed him down.
Winner by DQ: Jeff Hardy (9:29) ***½
Umaga stood tall in the ring until Shane McMahon ran out. Shane wasn’t intimidated at all and came at him with fire and went full throttle. He got a chair and hit Umaga multiple times until he was down. Out came Edge, but Jeff was back up and he dropkicked him to the outside. Shane & Jeff stood in the ring while Umaga and Edge retreated.
Commercial Break.
Randy Orton makes his way to the ring with a microphone in hand and his World Title on his shoulder.
Randy Orton: For the past week, all I’ve been hearing is that Smackdown belongs to The Undertaker. It’s his brand, he’s the Phenom, Friday nights belong to him. Everybody’s been telling me that. But then again, I don’t listen to what people say. Because people said I would never recover from losing the World Title back in 2004. They said I’d lose back at WrestleMania XXIV and they said that I’d lose back at Backlash. So I’m here to once again prove the doubters wrong. I’ve talked to Vickie Guerrero and Shane McMahon and they’ve agreed to a match for Judgment Day. I, Randy Orton, the one man dynasty, will defend my World Championship against The Undertaker. I will show the world that I’m not at all afraid. I’ve beaten him before and now that I’m at my best, I will do it again.
Commercial Break.
We return to see John Morrison in the back. He is interviewed and cuts a decent promo talking about how now that he’s back on his own he will be successful yet again. Just like when he was ECW Champion, he will make his mark on Smackdown. And it starts tonight against CM Punk.
Mixed Tag Team Match Hurricane Helms & Divas Champion Gail Kim vs. United States Champion The Brian Kendrick & Natalya Neidhart w/ Lawrence Knight
This turned out to be a very good match as all four competitors brought their A game. Knight proved to be a factor as he interfered on Kendrick’s behalf and even tripped up Kim as she ran off the ropes. While the women were even against each other, Helms held the upper hand on Kendrick and was setting up for the Shining Wizard but Knight got on the apron. Helms knocked him off but backed up into a low blow from Kendrick, who followed it up with The Kendrick for the win.
Winners: United States Champion The Brian Kendrick & Natalya Neidhart (5:58) ***
After the match, Natalya got on the microphone and challenged Gail Kim to a Divas Title match next week. She’s using her rematch clause and she will prove that she’s the most dominant Diva on Smackdown.
Commercial Break.
Singles Match CM Punk vs. John Morrison
These two had a great series of matches for the ECW Title back in late 2007 and this was no different. They seem to work so well together and it showed here. Morrison over sold Punk’s monkey flip as he usually does. Punk also hit his usual strike combo and then his springboard clothesline. Morrison took control after a superkick. He hit a standing shooting star press but only got a two. After some more great back and forth action, Morrison set up for the Moonlight Drive, but Punk lifted him onto his shoulders and nailed a Go 2 Sleep for the win.
Winner: CM Punk (10:01) ****
After the match, Punk was celebrating when all of a sudden; he was attacked from behind by Shelton Benjamin. Benjamin continued the beating and ended it by hitting the Exploder. The crowd and announcers wonder what Benjamin’s motive is as we cut to commercial.
Commercial Break.
When we return, Todd Grisham catches up with Shelton Benjamin in the back. He asks Benjamin about his motives.
Shelton Benjamin: First of all, I don’t have to explain anything to anybody. I’m Mr. Money in the Bank, I can do as I please. But, in this case, I will let CM Punk know why I attacked him. You see, with the draft having just passed us, all the attention is on Smackdown’s new blood. In my opinion, all of the attention should be on The Gold Standard, but instead, it’s on guys like CM Punk. Punk may cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase last year, but when I say I’m the Gold Standard, I mean it for everything. That includes me being the Gold Standard of Money in the Bank winners. And if Punk is man enough to accept, I’ll prove it at Judgment Day.
Singles Match Chris Jericho vs. Kofi Kingston
Once again, another great match on Smackdown tonight, although it was kept rather short. Jericho had the upper hand as he worked on Kofi’s back with a double underhook back breaker and a bow and arrow submission. Kofi eventually got on the offensive and hit a monkey flip and his double leg drop. He threw Jericho in the corner and jumped straight onto his shoulders. He punched him twice, but Jericho power bombed him and then locked on the Walls of Jericho for the victory.
Winner: Chris Jericho (6:02) ***¼
We are shown a build up promo for the upcoming WWE Tag Team Championship match. It goes all the way back to The New Hart Foundation’s debut back in January.
Commercial Break.
We see Shane McMahon and Vickie in their office and it seems as if they’re not even on speaking terms. CM Punk enters the room and tells them that he accepts Benjamin’s challenge for Judgment Day. The GMs book it officially and then as Punk leaves, Orton enters. He asks Shane & Vickie if they’ve heard from The Undertaker yet. They both say no and continue to look at each other with disgust. Orton goes to leave but the lights in the room go out. When they come back on, purple smoke has filled the room and all three of them leave, with Orton looking creeped out.
WWE Tag Team Championship Steel Cage Match The New Hart Foundation (c) w/ Natalya Neidhart vs. Carlito & Primo Colon
If the WWE had any questions about having this main event the show, these two teams put them to rest. They put on an awesome main event. With no tags in the match, there was no down time in the match. The Foundation used the cage as a weapon for the most part. Smith gorilla press slammed Primo into the cage, while Wilson hit Carlito with a slingshot sending him into the steel. Despite the Champs controlling the majority of the match, the challengers picked it up late and began to take over. Both Colons hit a backstabber at the same time and began to climb over the top. Carlito made it out, but Natalya climbed up and nailed Primo a few times until Smith got up and brought him back to the ring. Carlito chased Natalya up the ramp until she left to the back and he came back down to the watch the match. She made a huge impact though, because now it became a handicap match as the Foundation dominated Primo. Smith hit a brainbuster and Wilson hit the Rolling Stampede. They began to exit and Carlito was ready to attempt to stop one of them, but Natalya came back down and hit Carlito with a low blow, allowing her team to escape together.
Winners: The New Hart Foundation (15:15) ****¼
Commercial Break.
We return despite it already being 9:55 on the clock. We see World Champion Randy Orton in the back once again still looking creeped out about what happened back in the General Managers’ office. He looks into a mirror and sees The Undertaker behind him. Orton quickly turns around, but ‘Taker isn’t there. He looks even more creeped out than he did earlier. He begins to walk down the hall and from around the corner The Undertaker shows up and chokes him. Orton hits him with a low blow and ‘Taker drops to the ground. Orton steps back and notices an opportunity for a punt. He runs for it but the lights go out. When they come back on The Undertaker is nowhere to be seen and Orton is pissed.

Hardy/Shelton is a big match to open the show, well executed with the post-match stuff. Really good Orton promo, could picture him saying that. Fine mixed tag match there. Punk-Morrison is okay, although it was done to death in real life on ECW. Shelton/Punk should be solid. Good cage match, and glad it didn't actually open the show. Really good idea there for the ending. Like the punt being stopped by the lights going out. Orton/Taker is awesome, I hope it's a long rivalry.

5/9/09 Edition
-Don't expect the Randy Orton/Undertaker rivalry to last past Judgment Day. Orton will be in one or two short feuds until he hits a big one over the Title, while The Undertaker will move into a major feud.
-No word yet on who will win the match between Shelton Benjamin & CM Punk but rumors are swirling that they may face off again in the King of the Ring tournament.
-Speaking of King of the Ring, the Shane McMahon/Edge rivalry should have their big blowoff match that night as well in a gimmick match.
-Expect Shelton Benjamin's push to the top to continue for a while as he should be feuding with upper mid carders and main eventers for a while.

Good way to open up Smackdown, I like the Umaga interference. Interesting to see Shane McMahon make the save and I also like the Edge appearance. Good Orton promo. Orton/Taker will be nice. Interesting mix tag match, I like Helms and Gail winning. I hope Natalya gets the Divas Title. The next match up was nice, I like Shelton attacking Punk. Jericho/Kofi was a wash. Good segment, like Undertaker’s smoke. Great main event, happy Hart Foundation went over. Really good final segment, highly realistic.

- Good way to open up Smackdown, Keeps the ball rolling with the big match approaching, Like Shane showing that he had a Sac and went face to face with Umaga...Or Should that be Chair To Face. Edge Obviously couldn't be left out -Good Realistic Orton promo. Said the typical Randy Orton things by talking about the past . - Not Bad tag match, Great way for the distraction to cost Helms the match as all Heel Managers should. -The next match sounded amazing, Shelton attacking Punk after the match was..excuse the pun "Gold", Can't wait to see how this develops. -Jericho beating Kofi was as expected. - The Cage Match was great, liked the way everything was done together, Natalya causing Carlito to chase her was nice, Helped make Primo seem like a lamb to the slaughter. - End Segement was Highly Realistic, Great way to end the show, Typical of Undertaker to disappear mid-attack, Already seems that Undertaker has the upper hand.
Overall Great Show.

May 11th, 2009 Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio Attendance: 18,005
This week’s Raw kicks off with a video package showing last week’s events. It shows Triple H’s team losing to MVP’s team and then the post match beat down of MVP. That’s followed by the heinous attack on MVP’s girlfriend, Eve, when Triple H Pedigreed her onto a steel chair. The video ends by showing Stephanie and Vince McMahon announce that Kane will be defending his WWE Championship against John Cena at Judgment Day.
Jerry “The King Lawler and Michael Cole welcome us to tonight’s edition of Monday Night Raw. They announce that tonight, MVP will go one on one with JBL, plus we will see a fatal four way women’s match to determine Beth Phoenix’s opponent at Judgment Day and a six man tag match. Before any of that though, we are joined by “The Game” Triple H.
Triple H: Two weeks ago, I was drafted to Raw. I promised to prove to the entire world that the Cerebral Assassin was indeed back and that I was the most dominant draft pick. So I called out MVP and challenged him to a match at Judgment Day. He was stupid enough to accept. Then last week, he & R-Truth somehow pulled off the miracle and beat me & JBL. I didn’t take to kindly to that so I took it out on MVP and his little girlfriend. That’s right MVP, I made it personal. I’m glad I made it personal because maybe now, you’ll be a challenge for me. After I step over you this Sunday, my next goal will be the WWE Championship.
MVP’s theme music hits as the crowd goes crazy. He doesn’t come out though. He comes from the crowd, turns Triple H around and begins to wail on him. He nails him with rights and lefts and Triple H is forced to retreat up the ramp.
Commercial Break.
Fatal Four Way Number One Contender for the Women’s Title Katie Lea Burchill vs. Melina vs. Mickie James vs. Victoria
All four women just went at each other full throttle and it showed. They put on a good match and kept the crowd into it considering they are four of the best on the roster. They each hit their signature spots like Mickie’s hurricanrana in the corner and Victoria’s vicious back breaker. Mickie hit Melina with the Mick Kick, only to have Katie Lea hit her with a hair pulling neck breaker. Before she could cover though, Victoria caught her and drilled her with the devastating Widow’s Peak.
Winner: Victoria (5:44) **¾
Victoria celebrated in the ring when she was attacked from behind by the Women’s Champion, Beth Phoenix. She picked up Victoria and dropped her with the Glam Slam.
In the back we see William Regal and Layla once again talking with Stephanie and Mr. McMahon. He says that while he still hasn’t found a partner he would like another one on one match, this time against Charlie Haas. He is granted the match.
Commercial Break.
In a dark room, Kane and Paul Bearer cut a promo talking about John Cena and Judgment Day. They say that Kane’s path of destruction begins tonight with R-Truth.
Singles Match World Tag Team Champion Charlie Haas w/ Jamie Noble & Kelly Kelly vs. William Regal w/ Layla
Last week, Regal and Noble put on a very good match, but these two surpassed that effort. They managed to put on a good show and even kept the crowd very into it. In this technical showcase, both men worked on the leg and Regal even locked on the Regal Stretch, but Haas reached the ropes. The finish came after Layla tried to get involved, but Kelly pulled her down and brawled with her and Haas made Regal tap out to the Haas of Pain.
Winner: World Tag Team Champion Charlie Haas (5:24) ***
Commercial Break.
John “Bradshaw” Layfield makes his way to the ring and he seems to have something on his mind.
JBL: Lately, JBL hasn’t been a very successful man. It dates all the way back to the Royal Rumble. I lost my shot at the World Championship. Then at No Way Out, I lost in the Elimination Chamber. Those were because of Shawn Michaels. So instead of doing something about it, I lost once again when I wrestled him at WrestleMania. But then he retired and was out of my life. So I figured the winning ways would return. But at Backlash, I lost to CM Punk and again I lost last week in a tag team match. I went home and wondered what was wrong with me, where was the JBL that ruled Smackdown for a year. And I realized what the problem was. When I ruled Smackdown, I had my Cabinet with me. So now, I’ve been scouting and I will have a new Cabinet very soon. Possibly even tonight. And just like last time, it will include some of the WWE’s top young talent.
Cryme Tyme is seen backstage watching on a monitor when Evan Bourne comes up and asks them if they’re ready for the upcoming match. They say they are and they begin walking to the arena.
Commercial Break.
Six Man Tag Team Match Cryme Tyme & Evan Bourne vs. Legacy
This turned out to be better than most of us expected. Paul and Katie Lea Burchill were on commentary during the match as he was scouting his Judgment Day opponents. Legacy held the early advantage as they worked over JTG for a while. Eventually he made the tag to Shad, but despite starting hot, he didn’t do much else as Henning worked on his legs. After a short while more the tag was made to Bourne who was pumped up and got the crowd working. He hit all his key moves and had control but made the mistake of tagging in JTG. That led to Dibiase dropping him with the Million Dollar Slam.
Winners: Legacy (10:22) ***
After the match, Cryme Tyme looked highly disappointed in themselves. They walked off leaving Bourne in the ring to get attacked by Legacy. He actually managed to spin kick Henning out of the ring and then hit Rhodes with a hurricanrana sending him to the outside. That left him and Dibiase alone until Burchill jumped in and laid them both out. He hit each man with a Curb Stomp to seal the deal.
Commercial Break.
We return to see JBL talking with Mr. McMahon and Stephanie. He’s talking about how having a Cabinet again will make him a dominating force and can lead to him selling out shows for the WWE. The McMahons like the idea and tell him that he should go for it, but he also has a match right now.
Singles Match John “Bradshaw” Layfield vs. Montel Vontavious Porter
Eve wasn’t around as she’s still recovering from the Pedigree she suffered at the hands of Triple H last week. JBL actually seemed on his game tonight and that really helped the quality of this match. He wasn’t sluggish at all and did his job fairly well. He was the powerhouse of the match and he worked over MVP’s neck for the better part of the match. Everything went downhill for him when he attempted a Clothesline from Hell, only to have MVP duck it and connect with a huge big boot. He took over from that point on until he went for the Playmaker. That’s when Triple H made his way to the ring. It distracted MVP and allowed JBL to roll him up and score the sneaky win.
Winner: John “Bradshaw” Layfield (7:04) **½
After the match, MVP ran to the ramp and brawled with Triple H all the way to the back with neither one getting the better of the other.
Commercial Break.
Non-Title Match WWE Champion Kane w/ Paul Bearer vs. R-Truth
R-Truth has surprised a lot of people the past two weeks and he has been in two main event matches, but that’s most likely due to Batista and Cena being out. Anyway, Kane dominated the match for the most part. Truth made a comeback after hitting his trademark scissors kick and spinning forearm, but Kane kicked out. R-Truth attempted another Scissors Kick but Kane moved out of the way and hit him with a chokeslam to end it.
Winner: WWE Champion Kane (8:02) **
After the match, John Cena’s music hit as Kane and Paul Bearer stared at the stage. His theme played for a while and he didn’t come out leading everybody to believe that he wasn’t going to show up. But then, he did come out to a huge ovation from the crowd. He made his way to the ring and stared down Kane. They got face to face and Kane struck first nailing him with a shot to the mouth. Cena fired back and the two of them went right at each other. Cena eventually managed to knock the Champion to the outside and he stood in the ring as the show closed.

Raw was a solid show, great opening segment, this feud could do wonders for MVP. Victoria vs Beth is sure to be a fantastic diva's match. I'd rather the title stay on Beth though. Do feel the ppv is a tad over booked now with all these matches. Haas vs Regal sounded like a greaet match, surprised Haas got the win but it did him good. Love the push he and Noble have been given. JBL announcing the return of the cabinet is fantastic, I am guessing it will be the same formula, tag team and singles guy. Six Man Tag match sounded great, right team went over and I'm surprised that Burchill Curb Stomped DiBiase as well. JBL vs MVP sounded good and the finish kept MVP looking strong while getting JBL back on his winning ways. Main event seemed a bit of a let down in terms of star power but I understand that Batista and Cena are out and Michaels is retired. Right man went over.

Solid opening segment. I love how you are using MVP Happy to see Victoria win, I am glad you are pushing her. I hope she wins the gold. I like the Kane segment. Simply and it gets the point across. Solid contest, good choice with Haas winning, although I hope you push Regal at some point. I like the JBL segment, I am excited to see who will join him. Happy Legacy won. Didn’t expect the Burchill interference. I like the way JBL won, but would have preferred him to lose. He just cut a promo talking about how he needs The Cabinet to dominate and that goes out and wins a match, not a fan of that. Interesting to see R-Truth in a main event. Smart choice with Kane winning. Good final segment, makes both men look good.

Good way to build up HHH/MVP. Victoria winning is ok, but her winning the title would be unrealistic. Haas match seemed ok. JBL's Cabinet could be a pretty cool idea. Legacy winning their match made sense. JBL over MVP is okay as somewhat revenge from last week. Like how you're pushing R-Truth; Kane has been awesome in this diary. Cena/Kane should be good.

- I’m hoping MVP does win against HHH. Get a big win and fresh face in the main event scene. - Victoria winning is awesome. Such a great talent. - Love that JBL is getting a new Cabinet. - Solid six man tag team match. I wonder if Cryme Tyme will be in the Cabinet… - Big win for JBL, but big loss for MVP. - Weak main event with Kane/R-Truth, but its different. Good ending.

ECW 5/12/09 Preview
-During last week's ECW main event, Mr. Kenendy pinned the ECW Champion, Elijah Burke in the middle of the ring. Could that have been a preview of this Sunday's Judgment Day? Tonight, Mr. Kennedy will have his hands full though when he takes on the "World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry. Can Kenendy continue his hot streak?
-The Brood has promised to take over ECW. They will have their first test this Sunday when they take on Tommy Dreamer, Matt Hardy & Rey Mysterio in six man tag action. Tonight, we will see a preview of sorts when Matt Hardy takes on Hade Vansen. Can the youngster pull off the upset? Or will Matt put a dent in The Brood's plans?
-Last week, Hurricane Helms won a match to become the number one contender to Jack Swagger's Television Championship. He'll get his shot tonight. Can the former United States Champion reclaim gold on ECW? Or will Swagger's dominance continue?
Find out all this and more tonight at 9PM on Sci-Fi!!!

May 12th, 2009 Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio Attendance: 18,005
ECW kicks off with the usual video package; tonight’s highlighting last week’s show. First it shows clips of Rey Mysterio’s match with Tyler Black and then it ends with Mr. Kennedy pinning Elijah Burke in their tag team main event.
Our announce team of Todd Grisham & Matt Striker welcome us to ECW and hype tonight’s card. They really hype the main event of Mr. Kennedy vs. Mark Henry, and they also promote Hade Vansen going one on one with Matt Hardy. We are joined by the ECW Champion, Elijah Burke to start the show.
Elijah Burke: Last week, I was pinned in the middle of the ring by my opponent for Judgment Day, Mr. Kennedy. Now, while many of you think that means that Kennedy can somehow beat me, it doesn’t. You see, during that tag team match last week it wasn’t Kennedy by himself. He had the help of his partner, Matt Hardy. So you see, in a one-on-one match, Mr. Kennedy doesn’t stand a chance against the face of ECW. I will walk into Judgment Day as the ECW Champion, and I will walk out the same way, continuing the greatest ECW Title run in history.
Mr. Kennedy’s theme music hits as we’re joined by the loudmouth superstar.
Mr. Kennedy: Is my hearing messed up? Did you just call yourself the face of ECW? Mr. McMahon said that back in 2007, and to be honest, your time is up. See, there’s a new face of ECW. And his name is MISTERRRRRR…
Elijah Burke: Please, for the love of god don’t finish that sentence. Nobody wants to hear you repeat your name like that’s impressive. Speaking of 2007, wasn’t that supposed to be your big year too? Weren’t you the big Mr. Money in the Bank? But then your whole career came crashing down and unlike myself, you never saved it.
Mr. Kennedy: Didn’t you save your career by winning the ECW Championship? Because if so, then this Sunday at Judgment Day, I will save mine because you’re looking at the next ECW Champion and his name is MISTERRRRR KENNEDYYYYY….KENNEDYYYYY!
Elijah Burke looks upset in the ring as Kennedy heads to the back and we go to commercial.
Commercial Break.
Singles Match Hade Vansen w/ The Brood vs. Matt Hardy w/ Tommy Dreamer & Rey Mysterio
Just like last week’s match between Tyler Black and Rey Mysterio, Hardy & Vansen quite possibly stole the show tonight. They put on an excellent encounter and it really made everybody look forward to the six man tag at Judgment Day. It was a pretty good back and forth match, with Hardy holding a slight advantage. After a pretty long match, Matt put away Hade with a Side Effect, followed by a Twist of Fate.
Winner: Matt Hardy (9:33) ***¼
Once the match finished, all six men began to brawl in the ring. The difference maker proved to be Gangrel, who despite not being active, got involved. He gave The Brood the advantage and helped them stand tall over their Judgment Day opponents.
Commercial Break.
We return to see Ezekiel Jackson being approached in the back by Tony Atlas. Atlas says that he wants to walk and talk with him and that’s all we see.
Next, we cut to Theodore Long’s office, where we see The Miz enter. He hits on Tiffany and then gets to the point and demands to know why he isn’t on tonight’s show. Long tells him that sometimes there just isn’t enough time for everybody and he would’ve been on tonight’s show, if he won last week and got the TV Title shot. Miz is pissed at this and leaves upset.
Finlay then cuts a short promo saying that after winning the ECW Battle Royal on Velocity, he’s coming for the Television Title, no matter who wins the next match.
Commercial Break.
Television Championship Jack Swagger (c) vs. Hurricane Helms
This turned out to be a very good match, just a notch or two below the previous one. Swagger continues to impress in the ring and should be headed for a pretty good push in the near future. Helms looked like he was going to be the new TV Champion after hitting the Nightmare on Helms Street but Swagger managed to get his foot on the ropes. He then went for Shining Wizard, but Swagger ducked and ended up hitting the Gutwrench power bomb to finish it.
Winner and Still Television Champion: Jack Swagger (8:00) ***
After the match, The Miz made his way to the ring and waited for Helms to get up. As he was halfway up, Miz nailed him with the Reality Check and posed in the middle of the ring.
Commercial Break.
In the back, we see Santino Marella attempting to put the moves on Alicia Fox. He tells her that he is the most extreme wrestler in the history of the ECW and she should go out on a date with him. DJ Gabriel comes up and tells him that Alicia only wants a man that can dance and Santino has no moves. Santino challenges him to dance off next week, to which Gabriel accepts.
Singles Match Mr. Kennedy vs. Mark Henry w/ Tony Atlas
Despite being the main event, in ring wise, it was the worst match of the show tonight. Kennedy looked good in the ring but Henry wasn’t very good and showed why the WWE stopped the push he had back in 2008. After a while of Henry having the upper hand, Kennedy turned things in his favor and managed to ground the big man. He then hit the Mic Check, but Henry kicked out. So Kennedy climbed to the top. Was he about to go for the Kenton Bomb? We’ll never know because at that moment, Ezekiel Jackson came out and knocked him from the top.
Winner by DQ: Mr. Kennedy (7:07) **
After the match, Henry and Ezekiel beat down on Kennedy while Elijah Burke came down to the ring. He smiled at what was going on in the ring. He was really enjoying this beat down of his Judgment Day opponent, while Ezekiel and Henry were trying to prove their dominance. Burke clapped for their performance while Atlas posed with the two big men to end the show.
