WWE is currently taping tonight's edition of ECW On Sci-Fi from the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Special thanks to Wrestling News World readers Chris and "Wild Bill" Madway for text-messaging the following results. Remember if you are attending a WWE event in the near future and would be interested in helping us with our coverage please email me your name, mobile number, and which show you will be attending to this email address.
* The arena is about 98% full. Lots of "WOOO" chants
Dark Match:
* Ron Killings b. Shamus O'Shaunessy
Killings got the win with an axe kick.
ECW On Sci-Fi: (Airing Tonight)
* Theodore Long opens the show and awards Mark Henry a brand new ECW Championship. Tony Atlas comes out with Henry and they cut a promo. Atlas is drawing a lot of heat.
* Colin Delaney comes out and says that he is the future. Theodore Long says that Dreamer is the present and sets up a match to kick off ECW.
* Tommy Dreamer b. Colin Delaney
Dreamer hits the tree of woe followed by a DDT for the win.
* Evan Bourne b. James Curtis
Lots of offense from Curtis. Bourne finally gets to the ropes and hits a shooting star press for the win. Big pop for the move. After the match Chavo Guerrero & Bam Neely (who were on commentary) try to attack Bourne but he escapes.
* Matt Hardy b. Finlay, John Morrison, and The Miz
Hardy will now get a ECW title match at SummerSlam.
WWE SmackDown: (Airing Friday)
* SmackDown starts with MVP's Lounge. His guest is Jeff Hardy who receives a huge pop. MVP runs down Jeff Hardy's troubles -- the suspension, losing the Intercontiental Championship, his house fire, losing his dog. They then call Dr. Phil... Dr. Phil comes on the line and blames Jeff for being reckless and not caring about his career.
Jeff finally has enough and pushes MVP through the ropes and out of the ring. MVP goes to the back. Jeff walks up the ramp, pauses at the top as the fans applaud. He raises his arms and salutes.
* A biggest part of the summer battle royal is announced for later tonight. It will determine the number one contender for Triple H's WWE Championship at SummerSlam.
The Battle Royal participants are: Ken Kennedy, Jeff Hardy, MVP, Big Show, Umaga, and The Great Khali.
* Shelton Benjamin b. Jimmy Wang Yang
Shelton draws a lot of heat from the fans. Benjamin dominates throughout and hits an "indescribable" finisher.
* Edge, Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder are backstage. Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder basically blow Edge off.
* Festus b. Curt Hawkins
Festus dominated throughout. After the match, Hawkins and Ryder attacked Festus.
