Friday Night Smackdown
Live from Fayetteville, NC!
3/28/08-- Results

Smackdown openings with an in-depth video from last week's attack on the Undertaker from the Edge Alliance. First off, it shows Undertaker beating down on 3 members of the Edge Alliance and winning the 3-on-1 handicap match. But after that, the screen goes red and it shows Edge & his Alliance brutal attack on the Deadman. It really highlights the conchairto and the blood on Takers face. It ends the same way Smackdown ended last week, with the Edge Alliance standing over Undertaker. The Smackdown opening now airs and we go to the crowd. Not a bad house and pretty full. Michael Cole & the Coach welcome us to the final WWE wrestling program before Wrestlemania 24! Its only 2 short days away and it is live from the Citrus Bowl! But, for tonight, the main event will feature Rey Mysterio facing MVP, as both these men will participate in the Money in the Bank ladder match. Also, Ric Flair & Batista will each pick each others opponents going into Wrestlemania, as tonight they get to Pick Each Other's Poison. And, apparently, the Undertaker is in the building and is looking for Edge.

Sid makes his way out to the ring to a huge pop from the crowd tonight. He looks like he is out here with an agenda tonight and he means business. He takes the microphone and the painful promo begins. He tells The Great Khali that he stands no chance against the new and improved Sid at Wrestlemania. Sid said he is going to demonstrate what he has to offer...RIGHT NOW!

Sid v. Dave Taylor
Hooray for the Dave Taylor appearance. His first in quite some time. Sid just basically throws him around for a bit, to the crowd pleasure, and finally hits a powerbomb. Sid doesn't stop there. He then gives him a dominator type move, and then pins Taylor with more than ease.
Winner: Sid

He rolls Taylor outside the ring and tells Khali he will suffer the same exact fate at Wrestlemania. He leaves the ring as the crowd gives him a decent pop.

A Wrestlemania promo aired! Its only 2 days away! Michael Cole and the Coach ran down the Smackdown part of the card, including Flair/Batista, the Tag Team Championship, the Money in the Bank match, and Edge/Undertaker! Card is stacked up to the maximum!

We go to Ric Flair in the back, sitting in his locker room, thinking about who he will choose to face Batista later on tonight. Then, the screen splits and shows Batista talking to Kenny Dykstra, Mark Henry, & Victoria. Looks like Batista has found his poison. We cut to commercial break.

A WWE 24/7 promo aired.

Ric Flair v. Kenny Dykstra (w/Mark Henry & Victoria)
Pretty solid match here. Dykstra proved once again how good he can be in the ring at times. He came out to boos from the crowd, since Flair was already in the ring. Flair got one of the biggest pops in recent history. Its well deserved. These two took it a bit old school and this match was pretty technical. A lock up and Dykstra got the quick advantage and took him to the corner. He went for some chops, but Flair blocked the first one throw and nailed 4 of his own. Dykstra is already thriving in pain and I can imagine. The best chops in the business. Flair then worked over Dykstra's knee, in regular Flair fashion. He tried the Figure Four, but it was no good. Dykstra battled out of it and hit some kind of neckbreaker slam type move. Flair seemed devastated after that and Dykstra worked over his upperbody, getting him soften for the guillotine leg drop. Flair countered quickly though and nailed a chop block that got a roar from the crowd. One atomic drop later and a shin breaker and Flair was rockin'. He locked up the Figure Four and there was nothing for Dykstra to do. He tapped out in the center of the ring and Flair picks up the win going into 'Mania!
Winner: Ric Flair

A promo video started to air. It had grunge era music playing the background and the whole promo read;

"There are only 2 days to go

I hope he knows

that I will kill him

just like he though he did to me. "

Screen went black after this segment.

Same Wrestlemania Hype aired.

John Morrison & The Miz are backstage watching the show from their locker room. Miz asked Morrison if he was ready for the tag turmoil in two days. Morrison said there is no reason why they shouldn't walk out of Wrestlemania champions still. Miz agrees and then he leaves for a moment. Morrison looks at him as he leaves. We'll be right back.

Ric Flair came down to the ring and told everyone that its time to see who he picked to face Batista. Batista comes out and gets right into Flair's face. Flair steps outside the ring and says that this man will face Batista. Out comes BIG DADDY V and the crowd just automatically boos. Batista has a tough road to ride on.

Batista v. Big Daddy V
This match was just a cluster really. V just pounded on Batista's back with clumbing blows. That lasted for a good portion of the beginning of the match. V then started crushing Batista's back and continued to lock in a long bearhug. Big Daddy V just cannot put on a decent match, but they still push him. Batista battled back to the crowd's delight and he started rocking. A big spinebuster followed by a bunch of clotheslines. V was down on his feet. Batista went to attempt the Batista Bomb, but V gave him a back body drop and then jumped directly on his chest. He then gave him a sidewalk slam, but only got a two count. V then threw Batista into the corner and went for a big splash in the corner. Batista moved out of the way and loaded him up for a terrible looking Batista Bomb. He gets the 3 count over Big Daddy V! Afterward, Flair & Batista stared each other down as we cut to break.
Winner: Batista

Even more Wrestlemania hype aired! ONLY 2 DAYS FROM THE BIGGEST EVENT OF THE YEAR!

A hype video for the Money In The Bank Ladder Match aired. Looks like the main event is coming up now!

Main Event- Rey Mysterio v. Montel Vontavious Porter
Wow! This was a pretty sweet main event here. A nice send off into Wrestlemania 24, with a little preview of what the Money In the Bank will be like. MVP got pretty badly booed when he came out and he used his smug attitude to shrug it off. Rey came out to a very nice hand, his biggest in weeks, and he runs down to the ring. He cannot wait to get this one started. These two put on about an 8 minute match, where MVP dominated most of it. He has the power advantage over the smaller Rey Mysterio, so he just isolated Rey into a corner and pounded on him. He also hit some knee smash that had Rey out cold. MVP continued his assault with a running big boot in the corner and the Ballin' elbow drop. MVP then tried for the Playmaker, but Rey denied it and reversed the momentum his way. The crowd was back in it, after Rey nailed a slingshot crossbody, where he got a two on it. Rey then hit a split-legged moonsault that got a two. He became frustrated, but got to take down MVP and put him on the ropes, all set up for the 619. He went for it, but MVP moved and caught him in a fall away slam. MVP then hit another Ballin' Elbow drop and locked in a crossface of some sorts. Rey had to tap, since we've never seen MVP use this before. MVP celebrates his win over Rey Mysterio, after using a crossface maneuver, as Smackdown comes to a close!
Winner: Montel Vontavious Porter

Then the graphic and voice over saying that its now time to go live to Wrestlemania, LIVE AT THE CITRUS BOWL! AND WE ARE LIVE! WELCOME TO WRESTLEMANIA! The crowd is rocking already and the stadium is jammed-packed! A whole plethora of signs fill the building, as WRESTLEMANIA ARRIVES IN ORLANDO! They continue to show the crowd from every camera angle imaginable. The Citrus Bowl is pretty filled and just about sold out. Finally, Jim Ross & Jerry 'The King' Lawler welcome us to the biggest event of the year! They said that the Citrus Bowl is completely sold out, when you can see it isn't. They said that everyone should sit back and enjoy this event, as they send it down to Joey Styles & Tazz. Styles & Tazz are rocking and they said they cannot hear themselves think! What a night it is going to be for ECW and WWE in a whole. But before we begin, lets send it down to the final broadcast position. Michael Cole & The Coach welcome everyone to Wrestlemania! They said that tonight will be one to remember and that everyone should have their drinks now, because we are going to go non-stop! Just after Cole said that, John Morrison & The Miz are the first men out! Looks like its time for some tag team gauntlet action! Howard Finkel, the officially Wrestlemania announcer, announces the rules of the gauntlet match, as one team will come out and they will keep coming out until they are all gone. The last team standing is the victor.


WWE Tag Team Championships- John Morrison & The Miz v. Deuce & Domino (Team #1)
We start off 'Mania with some tag team action! This one is pretty decent, but I am going to expect better. Deuce & Domino got no reaction from the Orlando crowd and Miz/Morrison are booed. Deuce hit a nice swinging neckbreaker as the first big spot of the night. Deuce & Domino actually got a pretty amount of offense in and controlled the match. Crowd got bored quickly and it brought down the match quality. Miz/Morrison seemed a tad off to start, but picked it up fast and thank god they did. Miz went for the Mizard of Oz on Deuce, but it didn't connect and Deuce hit a big sidewalk slam. He looked like he got the 3, but Miz barely kicked out. Eventually, Morrison got into the ring and so did Domino. Domino was on the losing end of a superkick and Morrison got the 3 count. That is one down!
Winners AND STILL WWE Tag Team Champions: Miz & Morrison

WWE Tag Team Championships- John Morrison & The Miz v. Boogeyman & Nunzio (Team #2)
Miz & Morrison awaited the next team and to their surprise, it was the unique pairing of Boogeyman & Nunzio. Crowd didn't know what to do and again, it threw off the match quality. Nunzio got his ass beaten down by Morrison and received that weird leg drop Morrison does. Boogey was thrown in and received a gutwrench and a release german suplex. Miz came in and finished off Nunzio, and the match, after a Mizard of Oz.
Winners AND STILL WWE Tag Team Champions: Miz & Morrison

WWE Tag Team Championships- John Morrison & The Miz v. Charlie Haas & Drew McIntyre (Team #3)
Another very unique pairing here, but they did give the champs a run for their money. Crowd still doesn't know what to do, as this team is just strange. McIntyre looked just as impressive as he did in his Raw squash matches. McIntyre almost scored the 3, after a belly-to-belly suplex on Miz. Morrison ran in and started beating on him. Haas stopped that with some Germans and threw Morrison over. Haas & McIntyre started to get some cheers, until McIntyre got caught with a Reality Check. Miz picks up the win for his team.
Winners AND STILL WWE Tag Team Champions: Miz & Morrison

WWE Tag Team Championships- John Morrison & The Miz v. Jesse & Festus (Team #4)
Finally! The crowd explodes once that theme music plays and Jesse & Festus are ready for their first 'Mania match. Festus went right after Miz and eventually took down both men with a double clothesline. You can see that Miz & Morrison are starting to wear down and J&F are looked to capitalize on that. Jesse & Miz spent a chunk of time battling in the ring and the crowd was definitely behind the southerners. Miz attempted another Reality Check on Jesse, but it was blocked and a Tiger Suplex was connected. It got a two count. Morrison and Festus got tags at the same time and this was a hot tag for Festus. He threw both Miz & Morrison over the top and the crowd cheered him on. Jesse did a suicide dive on the tag champs and threw them back in for Festus. Festus attemped a powerbomb, but Miz poked him in the eye, while Jesse was celebrating with the crowd. Miz then rolled Festus up and got the win! What a steal! Jesse couldn't believe it, but had to leave, according to the ref.
Winners AND STILL WWE Tag Team Champions: Miz & Morrison

WWE Tag Team Championships- John Morrison & The Miz v. Cactus Jack & Chainsaw Charlie (Team #5)
HOLY! The crowd went absolutely crazy when that music came on. YES! It was Cactus & Chainsaw! Terry Funk & Mick Foley under their old personas. They ran into the ring, as the crowd roared, and started duking it out with Miz/Morrison. The fresh team got the advantage and they went to work. It wasn't long, as both men were already tired from wrestling 4 matches before. Charlie hit a Texas Piledriver on Miz and got a near fall. Eventually, Morrison fell into a Double Arm DDT from Cactus Jack and its over! We have NEW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS! HOLY! Miz/Morrison leave barely up the ramp, arguing with eachother.
Winners AND NEW WWE Tag Team Champions: Cactus Jack & Chainsaw Charlie

WWE Tag Team Championships- Cactus Jack & Chainsaw Charlie v. Redneck Wrecking Crew (Trevor Murdoch & Lance Cade)(Team #6)
When Cade & Murdoch's theme hit, everyone in the arena started to boo. Cactus & Chainsaw looked pumped and ready for the RAW team. They ran down and exchanged blows with the new tag team champions. C&M got the advantage down and started to work over the older team. Cade hit a big knee to the face of Chainsaw and he rolled outside the ring. That left Cactus Jack alone with Murdoch and Cade double teaming him. He received an Inverted Atomic Drop/Clothesline combo and barely kicked out. Chainsaw tried to get back in, but Murdoch gave him a huge elbow when he was on apron, and he hit his face on the barrier. Cade & Murdoch then set up Jack and gave him the High-Low for the win! WE ONCE AGAIN HAVE NEW CHAMPIONS!
Winners AND NEW WWE Tag Team Champions: Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch

WWE Tag Team Championships- Redneck Wrecking Crew (Trevor Murdoch & Lance Cade) v. The Edgeheads (Zach Ryder/Curt Hawkins)(Team #7)
The new champions looked at their opponents and seemed confused. So did the crowd, more no reaction. Anyway, Ryder & Murdoch started it off and Ryder got the best of him. Ryder got a swinging neckbreaker in and almost won the belts right there. He climbed the top and Cade threw him off. Crowd popped for that part right there. Cade got the tag and went to work on the upperbody of Ryder. Ryder gave him a low blow behind the ref's view and got Hawkins into the match. Hawkins gave him a spinning spinebuster and the crowd enjoyed it. He missed the diving crossbody and Cade hit the Lariat. He got a 2, because Ryder barely broke it up. Murdoch came in and worked on him on the outside. Hawkins & Cade were alone then and Cade gave him a Sitout Sideslam and got the 3. The Edgeheads left up the ramp disappointed.
Winners AND STILL WWE Tag Team Champions: Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch

WWE Tag Team Championships- Redneck Wrecking Crew (Trevor Murdoch & Lance Cade) v. Super Crazy & 'Hacksaw' Jim Duggan (Team #8)
First squash really. Crazy & Hacksaw stood no chance against C&M. Cade gave Crazy a big dropkick and got Murdoch some work. Murdoch gave him a jawbreaker and then followed with a running big boot. He was on fire now. Hacksaw tried to get in, but Murdoch knocked him off the apron and gave Crazy the Ace of Spades and got the 3! Another successful defense.
Winners AND STILL WWE Tag Team Champions: Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch

WWE Tag Team Championships- Redneck Wrecking Crew (Trevor Murdoch & Lance Cade) v. Hardcore Holly & Cody Rhodes (Team #9)
To everyone's surprise and the fans pleasure, the other Tag Champions, Rhodes/Holly came down. This match has just become all Raw. This battle went for about 6 minutes and Rhodes/Holly looked like they were going to double up on gold tonight. Cade & Murdoch were able to regroup though and tried all they could to stop the fresh champions from taking their gold. Crowd is way behind the Raw champions. Holly almost got the Alabama Slam on Cade, but he battled out of it. Cade gave him a Lariat after that, but Holly kicked out. Rhodes & Murdoch were battling on the outside and that allowed Cade to take full advantage after the Lariat. Cade gave him a leg drop from the top rope and Holly was out. HE got the win and there is only one team left!
Winners AND STILL WWE Tag Team Champions: Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch

WWE Tag Team Championships- Redneck Wrecking Crew (Trevor Murdoch & Lance Cade) v. Jimmy Wang Yang & Shannon Moore (Team #10)
When this team came out, it was all over. The crowd exploded with cheers and they ran with it. Literally. They ran down to the ring and went straight after the champions. Moore hit a sick springboard dropkick right off the bat and they were rocking after that. After the ref settled things down, Wang Yang & Murdoch were in the ring together. Wang Yang hit a bunch of springboard variations and Murdoch was too tired (or too heavy) to keep up with him. Moore came in and hit a guillotine leg drop that got a two count. So close! Cade distracted the ref and Murdoch gave Moore a low blow and got the tag to Cade. Cade gave him a big spinebuster and got the two. Crowd is cheering on the underdogs here. Cade attempted another Lariat, but Moore ducked and gave him a push-off dropkick. He then climbed to the top and hit the Mooregasm. Wang Yang went right after Murdoch when the pin was happening. They get the 3! The Gauntlet is finally over also! Wang Yang & Moore celebrated their win up the ramp, as Cade & Murdoch looked on pissed.
Winners AND NEW WWE Tag Team Champions: Jimmy Wang Yang & Shannon Moore

A recap video of the Kofi Kingston/Jamie Noble feud aired. Looks like this one is next!


Jamie Noble v. Kofi Kingston (w/Kelly Kelly)
Crowd is anxious for this one, as this feud is one of the most received from the crowd. Noble came out first and everyone in the Citrus Dome started to boo. Jamie Noble looks ready here and he is in the zone, not letting the fans get to him. Kofi was next and the crowd was rockin' when he came out, with the lovely Kelly Kelly on his arm. Kofi was slapping all the fans hands on the way down and gave Kelly a huge smooch before heading into the ring. She stayed on the outside and the ref rang the bell. These two locked up a few times and finally, Kofi got the advantage. He put him into the corner and started working over his midsection with some serious kicks. They echoed in the arena and the crowd was already cheering. Kofi attempted a swinging DDT TOO early and Noble capitalized on this. He threw Kofi off and locked in the headlock. He then hooked his legs around Kofi's and locked in the body choke. Kofi hit him with an elbow and got out of it. These two then traded blows, on the ground nonetheless, and Kofi came out the better. He got up, while Noble was still on the ground, and gave him some buzzsaw kicks to the face. He lifted him up and gave him a double armed DDT and Noble barely got out of it. Both men are starting to get tired already and this is their longest match yet. About 3 minutes pass and Kofi is trying to work Noble's upperbody/head over. Noble reversed it and nailed a Tiger Driver, but Kofi barely kicked out. Crowd gave out a big sigh after that, and Noble continued to work on him. Noble sat Kofi on the top of the turnbuckle and gave him a superplex! OH MY! Crowd is hot right now and Noble ONLY gets the two! Noble argued with the ref and started yelling at Kelly. This allowed Kofi to regroup. Kelly told Noble to turn around and BAM! Jamaican Buzzsaw right to the face! KOFI GETS THE 3! Kelly comes into the ring to celebrate with him, as Noble rolls to the outside and sulks in his loss.
Winner: Kofi Kingston

Another recap video aired. This time, it reviewed Sid's return to the WWE and how he beat the Great Khali. It is now time for the battle of the giants.


Sid v. The Great Khali
The Great Khali was the first one out in the battle of the giants. He came without his translator and without Big Daddy V tonight. It was just Khali. Crowd booed very loudly and Khali looked affected. Then, the sirens went off, and out comes SID! Sid gets such a loud pop from the Orlando crowd and he looks ready for this one here. This one didn't go for too long. Maybe 5 minutes. They started off with punch exchanges. Sid got the best of Khali and tried to take him down with a clothesline, but Khali didn't go down. Sid tried again and nothing was moving with Khali. Khali then gave Sid one and Sid went straight down. Khali then started clubbing on the back of Sid, with those huge forearms. Crowd was getting on Khali and booing him. Khali then attempted a chokebomb, but Sid blocked it and gave him a horrid spinebuster. It only got a two count. He attempted the powerbomb to just put the match to rest, but Khali blocked it and gave him a backbody drop. Khali then had that head vice, but Sid gave him an elbow to the gut and then loaded him up. Then, the crowd witness the worst Powerbomb ever. Completely terrible. Sid covered him and it was over. Thank god. Sid celebrated up the ramp.
Winner: Sid

A promo video started to air. It had grunge era music playing the background and the whole promo read;

"Oh look!

I'm at Wrestlemania!

Be sure to look for me!

I'm the one kicking this guy's ass! "

Screen went black after this segment.


Intercontinental Championship- Santino Marella (c) v. DH Smith
This one should be good. Santino was actually first man out and the crowd didn't give him a warm welcome. Santino started yelling at the crowd, calling everyone in Florida an idiot. DH Smith came out to a nice reaction, but nothing overbearing really. He slapped a few fives and got ready for his match. Ref rings the bell and these two lock up. Smith overpowers Santino and throws him down. Santino goes outside the ring and regroups. Of course, the crowd boos. Santino goes back in, but is greeted with a clothesline. Smith won't let him back in. Santino finally rakes Smith's eyes and he gets back inside the ring. Santino then gives Smith some lower body shots. He softened him up and went to work on his body. Crowd tried to get Smith back into it, but it wasn't going. Santino pretty much locked in submission move after submission move. Smith tried getting up, but he was basically dominated by the champion here. Finally, he caught an opening after Santino argued with the crowd. Smith then gave him 3 clotheslines in a row, then a big spinebuster. Crowd was going now. He then had Santino up for the delayed vertical suplex and then a brainbuster. Smith is on fire now! Santino is trying to regroup, but Smith won't let him and the crowd loves it. BIG German on Santino and he looks pretty beat up now. Smith then went for it all, but Santino got out of it and hit a jawbreaker. Santino then hit an inverted STO and only got a two. He couldn't believe it. Smith got him up again for the running powerslam, but he got out of it again and this time hit a swinging neckbreaker of some sorts and got the three count! What a match! Santino ran up the ramp and tripped. The crowd laughed, but it was a good match!
Winner and STILL Intercontinental Champion: Santino Marella

A hype video promoting the Money In the Bank Match aired!



Money In the Bank Ladder Match-John 'Bradshaw' Layfield v. Shelton Benjamin v. Rey Mysterio v. Ken Kennedy v. Tommy Dreamer v. Montel Vontavious Porter
Crowd is off the wall already before the match even starts. They show the briefcase hanging over the ring and the ladders around the ring. Kennedy is the first one out and the crowd gives him some boos! Kennedy just walks into the ring and stares at the briefcase. He has already won this match before and he know how to prepare for it. Tommy Dreamer was next! The crowd gave him a nice pop and he looks prepared. He is no stranger to ladders. Shelton Benjamin was next and he actually got a mixed reaction from the crowd. Not all boos. He looked at the case aswell. JBL was next and he came out in the limo as usual. Crowd just booed him completely and he just smirked as he made his way into the ring. Only two guys left and here comes Rey Mysterio. Nice ovation for him and he runs into the ring. Last, but not least, was Montel Vontavious Porter, MVP! He had a HUGE pyro entrance and the crowd hates him. Match has begun and 3 separate brawls break out. Benjamin is working over Dreamer in the corner, while JBL & Kennedy are fighting, and MVP & Rey are resuming their fight from friday night. Crowd chants for Rey Mysterio. MVP throws him to the outside and joins him. JBL has left Kennedy now and is helping on beating up Tommy Dreamer. Kennedy is already outside, getting a ladder. He is the smartest one here. He brings it into the ring and sets it up. Before he could do anything else, Shelton Benjamin goes after him. They fight for a bit, while Rey throws MVP into the steel steps. Rey runs at MVP, who's back is leaning on the steps and gives him a HUGE dropkick! WHAT A MOVE! MVP is already dead and the match isn't 5 minutes old. Rey goes into the ring and is met by JBL, who gives him a big boot. JBL tosses him right back to the outside and is back with Dreamer. Kennedy & Benjamin are fighting and Benjamin throws Kennedy in the corner. Shelton goes to get another ladder, while Kennedy is already awake. He goes to climb the buckle, but Rey comes and gives him a SPRINGBOARD DROPKICK! The ladder tips and Rey & Kennedy are both dead. MVP is stirring barely on the outside and Dreamer looks dead, as JBL is still pounding on him. JBL sees everyone is down and goes to climb. Benjamin comes back in with the other ladder and hits JBL with it. JBL comes toppling down and now Benjamin is all alone. He starts to climb it and he gets his fingertips on it, but MVP starts punching his back. Dreamer is back up also, and he throws Benjamin off. Dreamer and MVP now exchange blows, while Rey and Kennedy are going at it again. MVP starts to climb the ladder, after taking Dreamer out of the picture, but JBL pulls him right back down. Rey and Kennedy have moved to the outside. Mysterio gives him a big dropkick, grabs a ladder and moves back into the ring. Shelton is setting a ladder up in the corner and he throws Dreamer on it. Shelton runs and STINGER SPLASH ON THE LADDER! HOLY! Crowd is extremely hot right now and both Benjamin & Dreamer are taken out. MVP & JBL are gaining up on Rey now and they take him and throw him on the outside. Kennedy is stirring again. MVP notices this and takes him out, by hitting him with the ladder from inside the ring! JBL goes for the clothesline from hell on MVP, but MVP ducks and hits JBL with the ladder. MVP is all alone and he starts to climb. The crowd is cheering, but I don't know why for MVP. WAIT! Someone is in the crowd! MVP has his fingers on the case and MATT HARDY comes from the crowd and knocks him off the ladder! Holy, Matt is back! Hardy brings MVP to the outside and hits him with the twist of fate. Hardy then hits him with the ladder a few times and gives him a twist of fate on the ladder. In the meantimes, Shelton & Dreamer are both stirring now and they are both climbing. They are exchanging blows and WAIT! Matt is setting up a ladder on the outside. He has two ladders over there. He is dragging MVP to the top of the ladder and HOLY SHIT! HOLY ING SHIT! TWIST OF FATE OFF THE LADDER ONTO THE OTHER LADDER! Crowd chants holy crapas medics take both men out of the ring area. Neither man has moved. Anyway, Benjamin and Dreamer are still battling on the ladder and Rey is back in. He tips the LADDER OVER AND BOTH MEN GO FLYING! Oh my with this match. Rey is all alone in the ring and he goes to set up the ladder, when Kennedy comes back in and takes JBL out with a ladder and then Rey. He then nails a Mic Check on Rey and goes to climb the ladder. Shelton is already back up though and he takes him off. The ladder falls and Benjamin gives Kennedy a Superkick. Benjamin picks up JBL and sets him on the turnbuckle. BENJAMIN RUNS AND LEAPS AND HOLY! T-BONE SUPLEX OFF THE TURNBUCKLE ON THE LADDER! THEY ARE DEAD! CROWD CHANTS HOLY crapAGAIN! WHAT A MATCH! Everyone is down, wait! Kennedy is stirring. He sets up a ladder and climbs. Crowd boos as he is doing this, but everyone is dead. Kennedy grabs it and its over! He wins the MITB for the second straight year. OH GOD WHAT A MATCH. Crowd cheers as Kennedy walks up the ramp and they try to get this cleaned up.
Winner and Mr. MITB: Ken Kennedy


Women's Championship-Beth Phoenix (c) v. Mickie James
Everything is cleaned up from the last match, which was probably the best MITB yet, and we are set for some Women's action. Mickie James comes out first and she gets an excellent pop! She does her skip down to the ring and she still looks prepared. Beth comes down, Women's Championship with her and she takes her time to get to the ring. The match is underway and the crowd is chanting for Mickie all the way. Beth, at first, over powers Mickie, but she gets right back up after a few shoves. They lock up and Beth brings her to the corner. A few chops and Mickie reverses it! She gives Beth some chops of her own. Beth then takes her down and the crowd is booing Beth badly her. Beth works her over for a little and then Mickie reverses it and gives Beth some kicks. Crowd is cheering Mickie on, as she hits a suplex. She is now on fire! She goes for the Mick Kick, but Beth catches her leg and nails a big Fisherman's Suplex. Mickie is laid out! Beth gets the easy 3 and this one is over before it started. Really short! Beth walks up the ramp to boos from the crowd.
Winner and STILL WWE Women's Champion: Beth Phoenix


ECW Television Championship- Balls Mahoney v. Chris Harris v. Elijah Burke v. Kane v. Kevin Thorn v. Matt Striker v. 2 Cold Scorpio v. Mike Knox v. Stevie Richards v. Colin Delaney
Crowd is still booing Beth from the match before, but its now time to find out who will be the First New ECW Television Champion. Balls Mahoney got a decent reaction, Chris Harris was cheered from the crowd, Burke got booed out of the building, Kane got some cheers, Thorn got no reaction, Striker was booed, Scorpio got a nice isized pop, Knox got no reaction, Richards got a nice hand, and Delaney was cheered a bit. Everyone broke off into separate brawls once the match started and Chris Harris was allowed to enter at any time, since he won that pre-battle royal.

Edge has a serious face on here and stays in the zone as he makes his way down to the ring. Edge says nothing to anyone, and just hands over his belt and waits for the man who has the longest winning streak in Wrestlemania history. Then, suddenly, the lights go out and it is completely dark at the Citrus Dome! Then, a fire starts burning on the stage and druids start appearing on the aisle. Then, the man himself, the deadman, the Undertaker, emerges from the fire and the crowd goes insane! The Undertaker makes the slow walk to the ring and the druids are chanting while he does. Edge just stares at his fate for tonight and the Undertaker finally makes it to the apron and takes off his hat and the lights go back on. He gets into the ring and Edge continues to stare. The ref holds the belt up and rings the bell. These two stare at each other, before locking up. Undertaker gets the advantage and shoves Edge down to the mat. Edge gets right back up and locks up with 'Taker again. This time, Edge gets thrown into the corner and Taker goes for a big uppercut, but Edge dodges it and starts going to town on Undertaker's face. Then, he mixes in a few elbows and he is now going insane with shots. The ref had to separate him from 'Taker. Edge runs and hits a dropkick while 'Taker is in the corner. Edge then puts the boots to Taker and the ref needs to separate them again. Edge then hits a big DDT and follows that up with a falling reverse DDT.
