May 22, 2007 - Des Moines, Iowa - Wells Fargo Arena (6,500) "This Is The New Sh*t" by Marilyn Manson Aired on the Sci-Fi Network (1.5)
SHOW REPORT:
- The ECW World Champion Bobby Lashley made his way to the ring as ECW on Sci-Fi went on the air, the ECW World Champion visibly proud after having overcome Marcus Cor Von at Judgment Day two nights ago. Lashley began to talk about 'the Alpha Male' being a sizeable adversary, but that despite Cor Von's best efforts, he still stands here tonight as the man to beat on ECW. Lashley talked about how he knew that the ECW General Manager Armando Estrada has been forced to make an announcement tonight, and dared the Cuban to make it a good one, because he's just getting started. Swiftly, CM Punk's theme interrupted, and out came 'the Straight Edge Superstar'! Punk came down to the ring, much to the curiosity of the ECW World Champion. Punk got a positive reaction and soaked it in, before telling Lashley that before Estrada does make an announcement, he wanted to put his name in the hat. Punk told Lashley that he's sick of being led, and that he is a free man: and he knew he could beat Bobby Lashley. But before anything, the New Breed arrived - Elijah Burke and Marcus Cor Von coming down to the ring. 'The Elijah Experience' complained about how Punk is jumping in line, and that he seems to forget his roots. Punk mocked Burke's roots, almost antagonizing 'the Alpha Male'. Burke suggested that since Lashley thinks Cor Von isn't enough - then why not Burke challenge Lashley for the ECW World Championship instead? Lashley smirked, as Cor Von was visibly irked by the notion. Cor Von told Burke that he could beat Lashley, but before anything Armando Estrada finally arrived, the ECW General Manager telling the 'children' in the ring to settle down. Estrada addressed Lashley's claims that he was just getting started - how he thinks he has it all figured out. As for the New Breed, they couldn't even get the job done with Punk and Burke at Judgment Day, why should he invest in another chance? Estrada brought up a compromise, that Lashley is not getting off easy, but right now he was making a match, pitting Lashley and Punk against Burke and Cor Von, and that he will be watching keenly about who gets the next shot at the ECW World Championship at One Night Stand: Extreme Rules! Punk and Lashley glared at each other, whilst Burke and Cor Von argued too - tensions riding high, as far as the next ECW World title opportunity was concerned.
MATCH ONE // The New Breed (Elijah Burke and Marcus Cor Von) def. ECW World Champion Bobby Lashley and CM Punk in 11:27 after the Pounce by Cor Von on Lashley, with Burke blind tagging for the pin. Punk was isolated from Lashley during the match. Late in the match, Burke and Cor Von began to argue over miscommunication. They argued after the match, 'the Alpha Male' mad that Burke stole the pin on the ECW World Champion from him. Armando Estrada came out in the midst of this, the ECW General Manager talking about how he is impressed - which is why on June 3 at One Night Stand, it would be Bobby Lashley defending the ECW World Championship against Elijah Burke, Marcus Cor Von and CM Punk in a four-way dance match!
- Rebecca was standing by backstage with the newly debuted Major Brothers, Brett and Brian - as she asked them about how it felt for them to win in their official ECW debut last week against La Résistance. They were immediately interrupted by La Résistance, Sylvain Grenier and Robert Conway furious about how it was their debut, not the Major Brothers. Conway balked at the idea of the Majors beating them, and that they wanted a rematch. Brett and Brian pondered why Grenier and Conway hadn't tried harder last week, telling them that they were the Majors, and they were up for the challenge. Grenier told them before parting that they had a nice moment last week - but it wouldn't happen again.
MATCH TWO // Snitsky def. Tommy Dreamer by disqualification in 4:17 after the Sandman attacked Snitsky with his Singapore cane. Snitsky mainly dominated Dreamer despite 'the Innovator of Violence's best efforts. He was closing in on the victory when Sandman interfered, causing the disqualification. After the match, Sandman and Dreamer used Singapore cane against the ribs of Snitsky, eventually causing the grotesque monster to evacuate the ring for safety.
- WWE Intercontinental Champion Umaga was in the office of Armando Estrada, roaming around and looking at a framed photo of himself with the ECW General Manager. 'The Samoan Bulldozer' was suddenly joined by Armando Estrada, who graciously told the champion that he had missed him, hugging Umaga tightly. Umaga began to squawk in his native tongue, to which Estrada responded, telling Umaga that he did great in his open challenge last night, and tonight he is ecstatic at the idea of 'the Samoan Bulldozer' putting the 'Extreme' back in 'ECW' by defending his WWE Intercontinental Championship. Umaga screamed a war cry whilst the Cuban laughed in accompaniment.
- Elijah Burke and Marcus Cor Von were in the locker room arguing still over the result of the tag team match earlier tonight, as 'the Alpha Male' contended that he had the match won - he had the win against the ECW World Champion, but 'the Elijah Experience' stuck his nose in. Burke told Cor Von that he did it for the New Breed, and reminded Cor Von who led the New Breed. Burke advised Cor Von to step down and understand who ran this operation. Matt Striker innocently arrived, trying to patch things up, admitting frankly that at least both men have a shot at Bobby Lashley at One Night Stand. Cor Von yelled at him that it should have been him! Burke told 'the Teacher' that the problem is that CM Punk is also in that match, and he doesn't deserve to be there. Burke then brought up how Striker hadn't done the New Breed any favors, and began to bully Striker for it. Burke told Striker that maybe if he goes out there and wins for once in his life, he'll have some input and some respect in the New Breed. Striker reluctantly left, followed shortly after by Cor Von.
MATCH THREE // La Résistance (Sylvain Grenier and Robert Conway) def. The Major Brothers (Brett and Brian Major) in 5:31 after the assisted neckbreaker by La Résistance on Brian. The Majors had the fans' support, especially after comments made by Grenier and Conway before the match, insulting the United States in support of Quebec, Canada. After the match, La Résistance continued their attack on the Major Brothers, stomping away on Brett and Brian. They picked Brett up and dropped him with the assisted neckbreaker, before leaving in a dominant showing.
- Tommy Dreamer and The Sandman were with Rebecca in the interview area, where she asked the two ECW Originals about their two-on-one attack on Snitsky earlier tonight. Sandman cracked his beer and talked about how he thought his drinking habits were ugly, then he saw Snitsky. 'The Innovator of Violence' said that Snitsky has been an unstoppable force in past weeks, he's taken out Hardcore Holly, Little Guido, and now Balls Mahoney - but they were the elite Originals. He said that they wanted to show Snitsky what real punishment was made of. Sandman chugged his beer, whilst Dreamer challenged Snitsky on behalf of Sandman, to an Extreme Rules match next week on ECW on Sci-Fi.
- Extreme Exposé were dancing in the aisleway, when they were suddenly interrupted by the WWE Women's Champion Melina, who came out with Jillian Hall and Trinity. Kelly Kelly, Brooke and Layla innocently backed away, as Melina addressed the Des Moines crowd, met with boos. Melina once again bragged about how she was the champion, and that they were the dominant Divas on Monday Night RAW, ECW on Sci-Fi, and Friday Night SmackDown. Melina said that they were here to remind everybody that there was no room for hussies like the Extreme Expose, Mickie James, Michelle McCool, Ashley, or anybody but them in the WWE! Melina raised her title to loud boos, as the trio began to leave.
- Backstage, ECW World Champion Bobby Lashley was in his locker room trying to rest after the tag team loss earlier tonight. In walked CM Punk, and immediately Lashley stood up and came face to face with 'the Straight Edge Superstar'. Punk explained that Lashley sucked tonight, but if anything that made him feel better, because tonight proved that taking the ECW World Championship from him in less than two weeks in the four way dance would be that much easier. Lashley told Punk that he wanted it to come down to the two of them at One Night Stand, because he had a Spear in him with Punk's smug-ass name written all over it.
MATCH FOUR // WWE Intercontinental Championship: Rob Van Dam def. Umaga (w/Armando Estrada) (c) in 7:45 after the Five-Star Frog Splash onto Umaga, who had a steel chair resting on him. Before the match the ECW General Manager formally introduced 'the Samoan Bulldozer', who arrived to the ring. Estrada opened up the challenge, which was interrupted by 'the Whole Dam Show'. Van Dam hit a top rope kick knocking Estrada off the apron when he attempted to interfere, late in the match. Umaga introduced a steel chair, but was stopped by the referee, explaining its involvement in the finish. After the match, Van Dam celebrated with the title as now a seven-time WWE Intercontinental Champion, much to the anger, shock and horror of Armando Estrada, as ECW went off the air!
OTHER NOTES:
- Joey Styles and Tazz explained the rules for the Four Way Dance, that it is a no-disqualification, elimination free-for-all, where only one man will walk out of WWE One Night Stand as the ECW World Champion.

May 21, 2007 - Moline, Illinois - The MARK of the Quad Cities (8,500) "...To Be Loved" by Papa Roach Live on the USA Network (3.7)
SHOW REPORT:
- One night removed from Judgment Day, Vince McMahon graced the Moline crowd to a hostile response. The Chairman made his way down to the ring looking particularly unhappy after an unsuccessful attempt at taking the WWE Championship from John Cena one night prior. The doo-ragged Chairman stood in the middle of the ring as he began to speak about how irritated he was that another Monday Night RAW has come, and the WWE Championship still sits around John Cena's waist. Not only that, but Cena barely made it out alive, and didn't even beat 'the Punjabi Nightmare' the Great Khali fair and square, as Khali had his foot under the bottom rope. McMahon spoke in Ebonics as he talked about Cena pretending to be "one of us" when he's walking around making a mockery with the spinner title. McMahon then claimed that Cena may have escaped last night, but wouldn't escape the rematch: making John Cena defend the WWE Championship against the Great Khali again in two weeks at WWE One Night Stand. But that's if he makes it there: McMahon spoke candidly about how Cena decked McMahon and took his street cred from him last night, just as Judgment Day went off the air. The Chairman told Cena that he was here to take that back, in a match tonight on Monday Night RAW! The crowd cheered, when John Cena interrupted, the WWE Champion coming to the ring looking ready for a fight. Cena seemed happy to be in Moline, asking how everybody was doing until getting right down to it. Cena told McMahon that Khali did almost end him last night, and God only knows how. But Cena told McMahon that if it's a fight he wanted, then why not a Street Fight tonight? Vince chuckled, telling John that he expected more from him. Cena upped the score, telling Vince that a good stipulation for that match would be if Cena won, he got to choose the match against the Great Khali. Vince responded, asking if he won, whether he would be able to make the match. Cena nodded, and Vince exclaimed that Cena was on! McMahon cockily strutted from the ring, a Street Fight tonight with the WWE Champion and the Chairman!
MATCH ONE // Mark Henry def. Chris Masters in 4:49 after the World's Strongest Slam. 'The Masterpiece' attempted to apply the Masterlock on Henry during the match, but Henry was too big for him. After the match, Masters angrily grabbed a microphone and challenged Mark Henry to take the Masterlock Challenge next week on Monday Night RAW, claiming he knew that he could get 'the World's Strongest Man' to submit. Henry accepted.
- Jonathan Coachman was in his office texting, the Coach laughing at what he received back. Suddenly, in stomped the Great Khali, clearly in a foul mood. 'The Punjabi Nightmare' scared Coach, as Shane McMahon entered the frame. McMahon was directed Khali, who slammed his fists into Coachman's desk repeatedly, before punching a hole in it! Coach freaked out whilst Shane told Khali to get all of his rage out after the "unfair" loss to John Cena last night. Khali put another hole through it, then ripped the side of the desk clean off of it! Khali slammed the desktop at the wall, further driving Coachman out of his own office; Shane loudly applauding "the next WWE Champion".
- Santino Marella was backstage anxiously preparing himself for the match with Johnny Nitro when Maria approached him. 'The Italian Stallion' asked Maria if she wanted an interview because if so, he wasn't in the mood. Maria told Santino that she was worried that Santino would be forced to go back home to Italy and they'd never see each other again. Santino told Maria that it'd be fine because the WWE visits Italy twice a year. Maria seemed nervous for him, giving Santino a kiss for good luck. After leaving he responded, yelling that they could maintain a long-distance relationship.
MATCH TWO // Santino Marella def. Johnny Nitro in 3:28 after the inside cradle. As a result of winning, Santino remains a member of the RAW roster and does not have to be deported to his hometown of Italy. Nitro was overconfident, which led to his downfall. After the match a clearly upset and frustrated Nitro talked about how nobody understood him, and nobody believed him but his girlfriend, the WWE Women's Champion. Nitro told the fans to go to hell, quitting Monday Night RAW! The crowd responded, chanting 'na na na hey hey goodbye' at him as he left.
- Backstage the World Tag Team Champions the Hardys were in the locker room, Jeff and Matt Hardy discussing their upcoming non-title match with the World's Greatest Tag Team when Carlito and Torrie Wilson approached them, causing a tense moment. Carlito reluctantly expressed that the Hardys were the better team last night, but that he and Ric Flair were ready any time for round two. The Hardys accepted, shaking his hand. Suddenly a stage hand entered the room, alerting Carlito and Torrie that Ric Flair had been found unconscious. They darted to the scene alongside the Hardys, finding 'the Nature Boy' slumped against the wall covered in blood! Flair had been attacked yet again tonight, as medics attended to the scene.
- After Timbaland's music video for "Throw It On Me" made its world premiere, ring announcer Lilian Garcia proudly welcomed out the star Divas of the music video, Extreme Exposé, Ashley, Maryse and Torrie Wilson made their way out to the ring. They saluted the crowd, when WWE Women's Champion Melina suddenly interrupted. She came out to the ring with a microphone in hand, complaining that the "hussies" didn't deserve air time. She told them that they had their fun, and to get out. In response, the music video Divas surrounded Melina, when Jillian Hall, Trinity, Victoria and Ariel hit the ring, a mass brawl breaking out between the Divas and the Timbaland video stars! Melina's gang were getting the better of it, when Mickie James, Candice Michelle and Michelle McCool hit the ring, causing Melina and her gang to bail from the ring. Lilian once again saluted the WWE Divas to a positive response. Melina was furious.
- WWE Champion John Cena was in the interview area with Todd Grisham, who asked Cena how he was feeling twenty-four hours after beating the Great Khali in a controversial situation at Judgment Day. Cena talked about how Todd was as tough as he looks, but that while he may be hurting tonight, and not looking forward to meeting 'the Punjabi Nightmare' again at One Night Stand where it's do or die, he personally couldn't wait to get his hands on the Chairman in the Street Fight tonight. Cena told Todd that he knows he has to beat Vince McMahon if he has a chance at beating Khali at One Night Stand, because McMahon will be out to be biased to a peak level in order to take the WWE Championship away from him. Cena promised that wouldn't happen, and he would deck the Chairman again tonight.
- Edge made his way out to the ring, 'the Rated R Superstar' bringing out a heavily dented chair - symbolic after delivering a brutal Conchairto to Randy Orton after his loss last night at Judgment Day. Edge got into the ring, where he was met with further boos. Edge talked about how he may have underestimated his partner in Rated RKO, because it took everything he had in his arsenal to get the job done, and even then Orton was able to slip out of it with a win in the bag. 'The Rated R Superstar' complained about how he couldn't believe it, but that when you look at it in hindsight, who is the man in the ring right now? Edge talked up how he decapitated Orton with the Conchairto last night, and that 'the Legend Killer' wasn't here right now to chalk up a loss. Edge said that he may have lost the match, but he sure as hell hadn't lost the war. And without Orton weighing him down with that Rated RKO crap, he could look to the future. Edge claimed that the WWE Championship is being contested for by a Punjabi giant and a glory hog that he has beaten more times than he can care to count. And Edge claimed that he didn't care who came out of One Night Stand victorious, because there would be one man at the frontline to challenge the winner, and it was the man standing in the ring right now - Edge. Edge left to boos, 'the Rated R Superstar' having laid out the challenge.
MATCH THREE // The World's Greatest Tag Team (Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas) def. World Tag Team Champions The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) in 7:26 after the superkick from Benjamin into the German suplex by Haas on Matt. Late in the match Carlito hit the ring, taking Benjamin down with a clothesline, then Haas with the Backstabber! Carlito grabbed a microphone whilst the Hardys recomposed themselves. Carlito was aggravated by 'the Nature Boy' having been attacked again, but claimed that now he knew that it wasn't the Hardys that attacked Flair in Italy, it was the World's Greatest Tag Team the whole time! Carlito told the two that they were dead men, whilst Haas and Benjamin looked clueless as to what they had supposedly done.
- In the locker room, Johnny Nitro had just completed packing his bag. Nitro, despondent from the loss, turned around and saw the WWE Women's Champion Melina. Nitro attempted to confide in her, claiming that he was in a real rut but that he had to quit Monday Night RAW after another loss to that idiot. He went on a tirade about how nobody around here accepted who he was, and was looking for comfort in his girlfriend. Melina stood with her arms crossed, telling Nitro to simply grow a pair, then stating that she was too busy to be comforting a loser like him. She walked off coldly, leaving Nitro high and dry!
MATCH FOUR // WWE Intercontinental Championship: Umaga (c) def. Jim Duggan in 1:40 after the Samoan Spike. Before the match, 'the Samoan Bulldozer' screamed into the microphone in his native Samoan tongue, supposedly opening up his challenge to the RAW locker room. 'Hacksaw' Jim Duggan was the surprise challenger, and initially got some offense in on the WWE Intercontinental Champion, but Umaga quickly disposed of Duggan.
- Santino Marella was backstage wearing a towel, after having just finished showering from his match with Johnny Nitro that resulted in Nitro quitting Monday Night RAW. He dried his hair with another towel, then saw Maria excitedly charging for him, hugging 'the Italian Stallion' tightly and dramatically. Santino exclaimed that he did it, when Maria planted a huge kiss on him. The two shared a passionate kiss, before Maria roped him back into the shower room, where Santino's towel flew out. Ron Simmons suddenly appeared, peering behind the wall, then turning back out and exclaiming "DAMN".
MATCH FIVE // Cryme Tyme (Shad Gaspard and JTG) vs The Highlanders (Robbie and Rory McAllister) never started in 0:00 after the Great Khali attacked both teams. Khali, with Shane McMahon behind him, attacked both teams, delivering big overhead chops to Robbie and Shad, before powering JTG up and dropping him with a Tree Slam. 'The Punjabi Nightmare' continued to take out all of his rage whilst Shane O'Mac directed Khali, who delivered another Tree Slam leaving Rory unconscious. Shane got on the microphone and spoke out about how this is what you got when you screwed the Great Khali. Shane talked about how John Cena should have fun tonight against his father, because he has thirteen days left of his career - he claimed it would be over after Khali beats his ass at One Night Stand.
- Vince McMahon was seen getting ready for his Street Fight with WWE Champion John Cena in a few moments, the doo-ragged 'Genetic Jackhammer' prepared to fight when Jonathan Coachman entered the scene, frantically asking the Chairman if this is what he wanted. Coach told Vince that he has been attacked by Cena enough, that he should just strip Cena of the WWE Championship rather than fight him tonight. Or better yet, have Khali destroy him at One Night Stand. Vince asked Coach what he had against Khali and Shane, stating that his son told him Coachman hated his guts. Vince scolded Coachman, telling him that he should be grateful he's the Executive Assistant. Coach brought up the idea of becoming the permanent RAW General Manager, but Vince ignored it. The Chairman claimed that he had to protect his hood, his turf - and tonight, Cena was getting his ass kicked by the boss.
MATCH SIX // Street Fight: WWE Champion John Cena def. Chairman Vince McMahon in 3:39 after the FU through the announce table. As a result of winning, Cena got to choose the stipulation for his WWE Championship defense against the Great Khali at One Night Stand on June 3. McMahon got in one slap against Cena, who responded by dominating the Chairman. The WWE Champion delivered a chair shot that split McMahon open, then finished the job with the finish, dragging Vince's body back into the ring. As medics came to ringside to attend to the Chairman and put him on a stretcher, the Great Khali's theme hit, bringing 'the Punjabi Nightmare' out to the ring with Shane McMahon. Shane stayed with his father as he was wheeled out, when Khali stood in the ring. Cena wouldn't back down, but Khali surprisingly stood still, glaring down at Cena. Cena told Khali that if Khali wanted a fight, it would be an Unsanctioned match at One Night Stand. The two continued to stare each other down, as RAW went off the air. OTHER NOTES:
- It was announced that WWE Intercontinental Champion Umaga would be extending his open challenge to the ECW roster tomorrow night on ECW on Sci-Fi.

May 20, 2007 - St. Louis, Missouri - Scottrade Center (10,500) RAW, SmackDown & ECW Presentation "I Don't Wanna Stop" by Ozzy Osbourne Live on Pay-Per-View (242,000)
CARD RESULTS:
MATCH ONE // WWE United States Championship: Montel Vontavious Porter (c) def. Chris Benoit in 16:22 after the Playmaker. Benoit's ribs were taped and targeted during the match after the attack from 'the Franchise Playa' two nights ago on SmackDown. MVP attempted to get himself disqualified and counted out, but 'the Rabid Wolverine' brought him back into the match. MVP distracted the referee by introducing his title into the match, but as the referee's back was turned he low blowed Benoit, leading to the finish.
- The Chairman Vince McMahon was in his office backstage, standing before the Executive Assistant Jonathan Coachman, Shane McMahon and The Great Khali. McMahon talked up how it is Judgment Day for John Cena. In his doo-rag, McMahon began to speak Ebonics about how Cena was going to wind up broken into pieces at the hands of 'the Punjabi Nightmare', and that we would crown our first Punjab WWE Champion. Khali began to roar in his native language, to which Vince told Khali that he dug it. Shane began to down about how Khali would dominate the competition, and leave Cena in worse of a state than Khali did Shawn Michaels two weeks ago on RAW. Khali and Shane left the room, before Jonathan Coachman wanted to have a word with the Chairman. Coach tried to talk to McMahon about claiming the position as RAW General Manager due to having been in charge of the show for so long. Vince remarked that he had no idea Coach had been in charge, citing himself and Shane as the authority figures on Monday Night RAW. Coach shook his head and went to leave, when Vince stopped him, telling Coachman that he would address this tomorrow night on RAW - then ordering Coach to get out of his office.
- Ric Flair, Carlito and Torrie Wilson were in the interview area with Maria, who wanted to ask the number one contenders about their thoughts headed into the World Tag Team Championship match with the Hardys tonight. 'The Nature Boy' woo'd to a big reaction, as Flair talked about how tonight was the night that everything they as a team had been working for was to be realized, by becoming the World Tag Team Champions. Flair talked big about how hard Carlito had worked to "be the man", and tonight, they would be celebrating big-time with Torrie on one arm, and the titles on the other! Carlito took over, telling Maria that tonight, Flair and Carlito would get revenge on the Hardys and take their titles.
MATCH TWO // CM Punk def. Elijah Burke in 10:37 after the Go To Sleep. As a result of winning, Punk is free from the New Breed faction. Matt Striker came down to ringside late in the match and was able to sway the momentum in 'the Elijah Experience's favor. Punk kicked out of an Elijah Express. After the match 'the Straight Edge Superstar' celebrated whilst Striker yelled at 'the Teacher' Matt Striker.
- Mr Kennedy was in the locker room getting mentally prepared for his big opportunity to take on the Undertaker for the World Heavyweight Championship when Funaki and Nunzio approached him, laughing at Kennedy's expense due to last Friday night on SmackDown. Kennedy yelled at the two for mocking him, claiming that this would all change when he wins the title tonight. Kennedy reiterated that he would not be afraid of 'the Phenom', and that 'the Deadman' attacked him from behind. Kennedy was raging, talking about ushering in a new era in SmackDown history when he becomes the World Heavyweight Champion. He began to announce his own name, when Batista appeared behind him! 'The Animal' smiled as he saw Kennedy, wishing him luck and telling him to keep the title warm - because he was coming back for it. Batista casually left, telling Kennedy not to get scared of 'the Deadman' and left, leaving Kennedy seething at the notion.
MATCH THREE // World Tag Team Championship: The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) (c) def. Ric Flair and Carlito (w/Torrie Wilson) in 12:44 after the Swanton Bomb by Jeff on Flair. Flair's leg was targeted during the match by the champions. Carlito fought fire with fire by attacking the leg of Jeff Hardy. After the match Jeff and Matt celebrated with the World Tag Team Championships whilst Flair was helped by Torrie, Carlito however visibly irked at the loss.
- ECW World Champion Bobby Lashley was getting warmed up in the corridor when he was approached by Rebecca, who wanted to get a few comments from the champ ahead of his defense tonight against Marcus Cor Von. Lashley told Rebecca that he is going up against untested competition tonight. He said how he hadn't fought 'the Alpha Male' before, but he'd been watching him for a long time, and he sees him as a threat. Lashley bigged him up, but claimed that it's just another obstacle that management wants to throw at him. Lashley promised that he would yet again come out on top, as the face of ECW. He suddenly came across CM Punk, who walked into the frame. 'The Straight Edge Superstar' smirked, wishing Lashley luck in his title defense tonight.
MATCH FOUR // Finlay def. King Booker (w/Queen Sharmell) in 9:05 after the Celtic Cross. Sharmell repeatedly distracted the referee whilst Booker was doing something illegal, including nailing 'the Fighting Irishman' with Finlay's own shillelagh. Finlay bled from the forehead after a stiff axe kick. Late in the match Hornswoggle made his return, coming from under the ring and tackling Sharmell yet again, distracting Booker and leading to the finish. After the match Finlay hugged his leprechaun friend, whilst Booker attended to his dirtied and besmirched wife.
- Randy Orton was backstage, 'the Legend Killer' getting hyped up for competition ahead of his grudge match awaiting, against former Rated RKO partner Edge. Orton however suddenly came face to face with the WWE Champion John Cena, and after a tense few seconds, Cena told Orton to make Edge his bitch tonight. Orton told Cena that after he had settled this with 'the Rated R Superstar', that he was coming for 'Mr Hustle, Loyalty and Respect' himself. Orton told Cena that it'll be easier to beat Cena than to beat the Great Khali for the WWE Championship. Cena smirked, telling Orton that Khali is a monster, but he'll get by. The two parted ways, both having big matches tonight at Judgment Day.
MATCH FIVE // ECW World Championship: Bobby Lashley (c) def. Marcus Cor Von (w/Elijah Burke) in 7:28 after the Spear. 'The Alpha Male' was on offense for a large part of the match, in part thanks to the assist from Burke. Late in the match Lashley dodged the Pounce and connected with a Spear on Elijah off the apron, leading to the finish.
MATCH SIX // Randy Orton def. Edge in 18:10 after the RKO. A hard-hitting back and forth match where Edge kicked out of the RKO and Orton kicked out of the Spear. Edge almost caused Orton to submit with a rare Edgecator. After the match 'the Legend Killer' celebrated until Edge laid out Orton with a Spear. In a fit of rage, 'the Rated R Superstar' left the ring and took two steel chairs, then finished the job he started on Orton, delivering the Conchairto and leaving Orton unconscious whilst Edge stood dominantly.
- SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long was in his office with Kristal, Long talking about how big a night it was for SmackDown. Arm in arm with his girlfriend, Long talked about the World Heavyweight Championship match being mere moments away, and that he couldn't wait to see the look on Mr Kennedy's face when he finally gets the comeuppance he deserves. All of a sudden, Montel Vontavious Porter strutted in, the WWE United States Champion proudly showing off his defended title. Long asked what he could help Porter with, to which 'the Franchise Playa' commented about how he beat Chris Benoit, despite what Long tried to do to stop it. MVP talked about how he should be entered into the World title picture after tonight, claiming that he could beat whoever walks out tonight as World Heavyweight Champion. Long gave MVP one better - by proving he can be a fighting champion with the title he has already this Friday night on SmackDown, against none other than Finlay! MVP was initially mad, but then recomposed himself, proving to the GM that he was above him, and would become a double champion.
MATCH SEVEN // World Heavyweight Championship: The Undertaker (c) def. Mr Kennedy by disqualification in 13:58 after Kennedy nailed 'the Phenom' with a steel chair. Kennedy managed to bail from the ring on three occasions from the Undertaker's attempts at a Chokeslam and two Tombstone Piledrivers. Kennedy managed to hit the Green Bay Plunge on 'the Deadman', but Undertaker managed to get his foot on the bottom rope. Kennedy delivered the Mic Check on the Undertaker after the match, before mocking a cover on the World Heavyweight Champion. Kennedy reached for the microphone above and announced himself as the new World Heavyweight Champion, before crouching down and telling the Undertaker that he was a lie.
- WWE Champion John Cena was backstage, standing by with Todd Grisham, who wanted the WWE Champion's comments moments before what could be the fight of his life against the Great Khali. John talked up how the Great Khali is a monster, no doubt about it. He said that Khali has destroyed many men, leaving them laying: the Undertaker, Rey Mysterio, Shawn Michaels. Cena told Todd that he would not be on that list. Cena said that he believed for what he fought for, that he believed in representing the WWE, against people like 'the Punjabi Nightmare', no matter what the McMahons have to say about him. Cena told Grisham that tonight it was do or die, and dying was not an option to him. Swiftly, Vince McMahon came strutting up to him, the Chairman asking Cena if he was ready for his Judgment Day to be realized. Cena smirked, telling the Chairman that it would take a lot more than the Great Khali to take the WWE Championship away from him.
MATCH EIGHT // WWE Championship: John Cena (c) def. The Great Khali (w/Shane McMahon) in 11:02 after the STFU. Shane repeatedly tried to get involved, which led to Khali dominating Cena. 'The Punjabi Nightmare' had Cena in the Vice Grip for several minutes, but Cena was able to break free by powering Khali over the top rope. Khali dropped Cena with a Tree Slam through the ECW announce table, but Cena was still able to come back from it. Cena hit the FU on Shane, before tripping Khali and finishing Khali off. It was notable that Khali's foot was under the bottom rope, and after the match WWE Chairman Vince McMahon came stomping to the ring, the Chairman yelling at Cena that he hadn't won this match. McMahon berated Cena, calling him a terrible WWE Champion, and how the Great Khali would kill him if he had another chance. Cena eventually ended McMahon's tirade, drilling the Chairman with the FU in the middle of the ring.
DARK MATCH: Mark Henry def. Chris Masters (n/a)

May 18, 2007 - Baltimore, Maryland - First Mariner Arena (7,000) "Rise Up 2006" by Drowning Pool Broadcast on The CW (2.5)
SHOW REPORT:
- King Booker made his way to the ring, arm in arm with his wife, Queen Sharmell - the Baltimore crowd booing appropriately as the royal couple stood in the centre of the ring to kick off the final edition of Friday Night SmackDown before Judgment Day. Booker started to talk about how one simply does not disrespect or treat true royalty in an act of frustration. He talked about how he, the King and Queen of SmackDown deserve better, and that those guilty will be found in a world of hurt, courtesy of himself. Sharmell took over, talking about how an ugly, disgusting, filthy troll in Hornswoggle had become obsessed with her, and he was dealt with appropriately by her wonderful husband. She talked about how anybody that treats them like the garbage the rest of the SmackDown audience are, they would find themselves guilty and sentenced to the same treatment of the troll last week. Finlay eventually interrupted, 'the Fighting Irishman' making his way to the ring with shillelagh in hand. Finlay was looking for a fight, but Booker backed up with Sharmell by his side. Booker told Finlay that he was in no mood for a fight. Booker told Finlay that what happened to the troll was well deserved, and he apologized for none of it. Finlay snatched the microphone from Booker, telling him that the troll was a leprechaun, and he was his friend - Hornswoggle. Finlay told Booker that he played along for a while, but he quickly realized that Booker was a man of delusion, and he wanted to snap Booker out of that delusion in a fight. Booker laughed, calling Finlay a former knight turned scoundrel. Booker told Finlay that he wants so-called "just revenge", and he understands that - which is why he would like nothing more than to teach Finlay the true meaning of respect. Just not tonight. Booker left the ring with Sharmell to loud boos, whilst Finlay appeared ready for a fight, telling Booker that if tonight's not the night, then why not at Judgment Day? Booker and Sharmell attempted to ignore, whilst Finlay was eager, yelling for a response from the cowardly couple.
- Backstage SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long was seen walking through the corridor when he ran into Mr Kennedy, who smugly strutted up to the GM and told Teddy that he couldn't wait to prove everyone wrong when he claims the World Heavyweight Championship this Sunday at Judgment Day. Kennedy reminded Long that he is one of many naysayers, but that he would prove everybody wrong - that he isn't afraid of the Undertaker, and he can beat the Undertaker too. Long simply laughed, wishing him luck. Kennedy stopped Long from walking away, telling him that he would finish the job he started two weeks ago when he hit 'the Phenom' in the skull with that steel chair. Kennedy said that it was a matter of time, when Long interrupted. He invited Kennedy to go out there and prove it tonight, ordering Kennedy to call the World Heavyweight Champion out! Kennedy was hesitant, but Long pushed him to, calling him scared. Long left, leaving Kennedy fired up, anxious to prove Long wrong again by calling 'the Deadman' out in the middle of the ring tonight!
MATCH ONE // World Tag Team Champions The Hardys (Matt and Jeff Hardy) def. WWE Tag Team Champions Deuce 'n Domino (w/Cherry) in 11:14 after the Twist of Fate by Matt on Domino. Deuce 'n Domino targeted the ankle of Jeff during the match. Late in the match, Cherry introduced the same lead pipe that won her team the titles last month, a lead pipe from her cleavage. She passed it to Deuce, but Paul London and Brian Kendrick darted out to ringside, with London distracting the referee whilst Kendrick engaged in a tug of war with Deuce over the lead pipe, setting up the finish.
- WWE United States Champion Montel Vontavious Porter was backstage with the make-up artist, MVP getting his face patched up with cotton. MVP was bragging about how it feels to be the champ on SmackDown, when all of a sudden Chris Benoit showed up. 'The Rabid Wolverine' smirked at an intimidated 'Franchise Playa', who told Benoit to back off. Benoit told MVP gleefully that he hopes he's prepared for Judgment Day, because they have a tag team match tonight. The Canadian told Porter that he'd had a good run, but he didn't beat the real former champion for the title at Backlash. Benoit offered MVP a handshake, telling him that the title was coming home where it belonged at Judgment Day. Benoit walked away, leaving Porter irritated by his challenger.
MATCH TWO // WWE Cruiserweight Championship: Chavo Guerrero (w/Gregory Helms) (c) def. Jimmy Wang Yang in 7:29 after the Gory Bomb. Guerrero and Helms were arguing on their way out to the ring, allegedly over how Guerrero left Helms high and dry in his match with the Boogeyman last week. He didn't interfere in the match, and actually laughed at his expense when Wang Yang was in control. Wang Yang missed his moonsault, which allowed the finish to take place. After the match Guerrero and Helms argued further, when the Boogeyman's theme hit, and smoke surrounded them and the lights dimmed to red. The Boogeyman came strutting down the aisle with his voodoo pole, dancing to intimidate Guerrero and Helms. He slid into the ring, which led the WWE Cruiserweight Champion and Helms to exit the ring hastily. Boogeyman smiled at them with worms hanging from the gap in his mouth.
- King Booker and Queen Sharmell were backstage, outraged by the unfolding of events that took place earlier tonight with Finlay interrupting their address of the SmackDown locker room. Sharmell was flattered at her husband's attempts to honor her and protect her. But suddenly Theodore Long appeared, the SmackDown General Manager that while that was no way to treat Sharmell, he begs to differ with what Booker did last week by disposing of Hornswoggle by dumping him in a dumpster and rolling him down a hill into the parking lot. Teddy told Booker that as a result of this, he had spoken to 'the Fighting Irishman', and he had taken the liberty of making it official: Booker would fight Finlay this Sunday, at Judgment Day! Booker groaned, whilst Sharmell tried to argue with the General Manager - until Long brought up the idea of suspending Sharmell indefinitely! Booker was besmirched by the GM, who walked away casually much to their chagrin.
MATCH THREE // Chris Benoit and Kane def. WWE United States Champion Montel Vontavious Porter and Mike Mizanin (w/The Girls) by disqualification in 12:25 after the Miz nailed Kane with a trash can. Kane was Benoit's surprise tag team partner, much to the annoyance of MVP and Mizanin. Mizanin attempted to avoid 'the Big Red Monster' at all opportunities. Miz almost scored two upsets on Benoit. Benoit had Porter locked in the Crossface late in the match, but Mizanin broke it up just in time. After the match MVP scrambled out of the ring, leaving Mizanin to endure a Chokeslam from Kane, leaving him laying.
- Kristal was at the interview area, standing by with WWE Tag Team Champions Deuce 'n Domino and Cherry, who were beside themselves at the fact that Paul London and Brian Kendrick blew it for them, and blew it for SmackDown in the champions vs champions match with the Hardys. Deuce was seething at the idea that London and Kendrick wanted their titles so badly, but dismissed it telling them that they were at the bottom of the pile. The champions had had enough of Kristal and stormed away to their nearby parked Cadillac, climbing in it and driving away.
MATCH FOUR // Jillian Hall def. Michelle McCool (w/Ashley) in 4:15 after the distraction from WWE Women's Champion Melina allowed Hall to roll McCool up. Halfway through the match, Melina made her grand entrance surrounded by paparazzi, and late in the match nailed Ashley with the WWE Women's Championship, which allowed the finish to take place. After the match Melina climbed into the ring and finished a game Michelle McCool off with the Extreme Makeover, before extending her hand to Jillian. She asked her to join her in their fight against the Divas starring in Timbaland's music video. Jillian accepted, as the two Divas stood tall over McCool. Ashley was left down and hurting on the floor.
- Kristal was in the office of boyfriend and SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long, the two seated comfortably on the couch, as Kristal asked Long about Vickie Guerrero's interview to become his assistant. Long told Kristal that he hadn't made a final decision on whether to hire Guerrero or not. He told Kristal that her job interview was next week, and that even then he'd spoken to multiple contenders that are qualified for the job as well. Kristal attempted to give him a massage, when two unkempt country farmers arrived in the office. Long stood up and shook their hands, casually mentioning that they must be the Dalton Boys, Jesse and Festus Dalton. Jesse told Long that they would have gotten here earlier, but they had come all the way from Georgia in their "pickemup truck". Long was surprised, whilst Festus leaned in with his squinting face. Festus asked who they would get to fight tonight, telling Long that they couldn't wait to beat up everybody on SmackDown. Long told Jesse and Festus that SmackDown was nearly over tonight, but that they would get their opportunity next week on SmackDown. Jesse shook Long's hand hard and fast, excited for the opportunity. He left, whilst Festus looked down at Long, and shook his hand hard, hurting the GM's hand. Festus thanked Long for the opportunity in an intimidating approach, before leaving as well.
MATCH FIVE // Paul London and Brian Kendrick def. William Regal and Dave Taylor in 5:59 after the 450 splash by London on Taylor. Late in the match WWE Tag Team Champions Deuce, Domino 'n Cherry came driving out in their Cadillac, attempting to distract London and Kendrick by honking their horn. It backfired, allowing the finish to take place. The trio drove away in disgust, much to their chagrin.
- Kristal was backstage with Chris Benoit, Kristal noting that 'the Rabid Wolverine' was successful in tonight's tag team bout, and was running into his rematch with Montel Vontavious Porter for the WWE United States Championship with a head of steam. Benoit told Kristal that when he lost the title, he wasn't even pinned or forced to submit, and that it would feel so good to get what he wanted back. All of sudden though, Montel Vontavious Porter came from behind, nailing him with a hard chair shot to the spine! MVP stomped away at 'the Rabid Wolverine', before dumping a box of lighting equipment on the ribs of Benoit! 'The Franchise Playa' told Benoit that he was the one that had a good run, but that this was his time now.
- Mr Kennedy made his way to the ring to close the show, the number one contender to the World Heavyweight Championship awaiting his destiny in two nights time when he comes face to face with the Undertaker for a shot at the biggest prize in the industry. Kennedy reached up for his microphone, as a spotlight kept him lit in a pitch black First Mariner's Arena in Baltimore. Kennedy started by talking about how he was two days away from fate realized when he claims the World Heavyweight Championship. He talked about how the Undertaker has been a menace to many, but that he proved two weeks ago that he would not run scared like so many others, that he couldn't wait to do what Batista couldn't, what Shawn Michaels couldn't - and that is beat 'the Phenom' for the richest prize in the business. Kennedy reminded the Baltimore crowd of how he left 'the Deadman' vulnerable two weeks ago on SmackDown with a steel chair beating, and that he was ready to leave 'the Phenom' laying this Sunday at Judgment Day, and prove once and for all that he was not afraid of the Undertaker. But suddenly, a gong hit, and a video package played, with the Undertaker's voice playing. Footage of 'the Deadman' overcoming many, and beating everybody in his path to become the World Heavyweight Champion. Undertaker narrated Kennedy's rise, and how it led to him failing. The Undertaker declared that Kennedy is hiding his fear, but that fear would be realized in his defeat at Judgment Day. Kennedy tried to shout back, that the Undertaker was lying! But all of a sudden, another gong went off - and the Undertaker was revealed to be right behind Kennedy! Kennedy turned around to be laid out with the Tombstone Piledriver, and the World Heavyweight Champion stood tall, saluting the crowd over a lifeless Mr Kennedy, as Friday Night SmackDown went off the air.
OTHER NOTES:
- Ozzy Osbourne and his band performed on the stage, performing the official theme song for Judgment Day, "I Don't Wanna Stop".
- Michael Cole and John Bradshaw Layfield ran down the line-up for Judgment Day this Sunday night.

May 15, 2007 - Baltimore, Maryland - First Mariner Arena (7,000) "This Is The New Sh*t" by Marilyn Manson Aired on the Sci-Fi Network (1.5)
SHOW REPORT:
- ECW General Manager Armando Estrada was in his office with Chairman Vince McMahon on speaker phone, the GM telling McMahon that he was very excited for Sunday at Judgment Day, because Bobby Lashley would no longer be the ECW World Champion. Mr McMahon chuckled, telling Armando that he was happy just at the thought of Marcus Cor Von claiming the ECW title. Quickly however, in walked the ECW World Champion Bobby Lashley, which distressed Estrada. McMahon continued to badmouth Lashley as the champ grew closer to the desk. He suddenly hung up on McMahon, then grabbed Estrada by the collar, warning Armando that if he tried anything funny in his match tonight or on Sunday, that this would not end well for the General Manager. Armando was frightened, as Lashley let him go and adjusted his suit shirt, then slapped Estrada hard on the chest, leaving the room.
- The New Breed made their way out to the ring to kick off ECW on Sci-Fi, with Elijah Burke leading the way, ahead of the number one contender to the ECW World Championship, Marcus Cor Von, Matt Striker, and an uninterested CM Punk. 'The Elijah Experience' was booed as he graced a microphone, talking about how far the New Breed had come. Burke talked about how we were now only five days away from the coronation of 'the Alpha Male' becoming the ECW World Champion! Burke talked about how the New Breed has suffered some setbacks, how Kevin Thorn fell to injury and simply could not cut it in the New Breed, and they lost some irrelevant matches to the hasbeens, the ECW Originals - but all of that would not matter, because as of next Tuesday when the New Breed is in control, this would be a new ERA for ECW! CM Punk was yawning, to the point that Burke spotted him, and asked Punk if he was boring him. Punk spoke up, telling the leader that he was in fact. Punk then wanted a show of hands, who was bored of Elijah Burke giving everybody marching orders and speeches that go on, and yet lead nowhere - to a loud ovation. Punk's name was chanted by the Baltimore crowd loudly, 'the Straight Edge Superstar' then confronted by Burke. Burke told Punk that that was fine - but this was his New Breed, and if Punk wasn't with them, then he was against them. Punk told Burke that he made it loud and clear last week, if anybody doesn't do what Elijah wants, he tries to punish them for it! Punk told Burke to face the facts, that the New Breed is not the military, it is not a special agency of gifted talents - it's Cor Von and Striker sucking up to every word Burke says! Burke was getting angry, telling Punk that he should know his role: but Punk told Burke that he knew his role - he didn't need the New Breed: he quit! Punk dropped the microphone and left, much to 'the Elijah Experience's anger, as he yelled at Punk for quitting the New Breed! Punk wasn't listening to any of it, simply walking away!
MATCH ONE // The Major Brothers (Brian and Brett Major) def. La Résistance (Sylvain Grenier and Robert Conway) in 6:09 after a dropkick by Brett into a victory roll by Brian on Grenier. Before the match, Grenier addressed the booing and non-understanding First Mariner Center in French-Canadian language - until Conway ordered the fans to shut up, that La Résistance was here, and it was going to be nothing like it was before. After the match, the Major Brothers (who got no entrance) celebrated big with the crowd.
- CM Punk was walking down the corridor backstage, when he was suddenly approached by Elijah Burke once again. 'The Straight Edge Superstar' had no time for 'the Elijah Experience', who told him that he senses he is frustrated, and he wanted to give him another chance. Punk was disinterested, telling Burke that he clearly didn't understand him. Punk told Elijah that he didn't want another chance, nor did he need one. All Punk said he wanted, was a chance to take Burke's head off of his shoulders! Burke got angry momentarily, but gritted the anger back. Punk told Elijah that he had a God complex and it wasn't a good look for him. Elijah finally caved, telling Punk finally that if he wanted a fight, he'd give him one - this Sunday at Judgment Day. Punk told Burke fine, but if Punk beat Burke, he wanted freedom from the New Breed. Burke responded, telling Punk that should Burke beat him, then Punk was New Breed for good. Burke walked away, Punk smirking to himself.
- Rebecca was backstage with Balls Mahoney, who she asked for comment ahead of his match tonight with Snitsky. She asked Balls about what drove him to get involved last week, to which 'the Chair Swinging Freak' told her that he sees a grotesque, ugly, monster of a man like Snitsky walk into his ECW, and he thinks: Balls wants a shot at this guy. Mahoney told Rebecca that he hopes the people haven't forgotten him, because he is out to do some damage and teach Snitsky a lesson tonight.
MATCH TWO // Snitsky def. Balls Mahoney in 1:03 after the big boot. Snitsky attacked 'the Chair Swinging Freak' from behind as he came down the aisle, Snitsky taking Balls' chair and wrapping it around his skull with a chair shot. A one-sided affair, with the monster standing tall after the match.
- Rob Van Dam was in the locker room, 'Mr Tuesday Night' preparing himself by stretching on the floor when the ECW World Champion Bobby Lashley walked in, Van Dam hopping up to his feet to greet him. Lashley told Van Dam that he knows that the New Breed will be out to get him tonight. He also knew that Armando Estrada would do whatever it took to make sure he lost the ECW World Championship. Lashley advised Van Dam that he should watch himself just in case, but Van Dam told him to chill out. Lashley sternly warned Van Dam to keep out of his way tonight, leaving the locker room. RVD simply shrugged, going back to his leg exercises.
MATCH THREE // Sabu def. Matt Striker in 6:28 after the Arabian Facebuster. Sabu tried to use a steel chair during the match, but the referee continually refused him access to use it and risk a disqualification, which allowed Striker to take control. Sabu got into an argument with a fan in the front row after the match.
- In his office, ECW General Manager Armando Estrada was talking on the phone to Vince McMahon once again, telling him that he was sorry for hanging up on the Chairman - blaming it on Lashley. But suddenly, La Résistance came storming into his office, Sylvain Grenier and Robert Conway outraged over their loss to the two "no-named rookies", the Major Brothers. Sylvain continued to shout at Estrada in French, until Estrada finally blurted out loud, whilst on the phone that he was Cuban! Estrada promptly told McMahon that he wasn't talking to him, then hung up on the Chairman, as Estrada stood up and told them that he didn't have time for this. Conway insisted that Armando make time for them, because they were supposed to be ECW's newest tag team, their hottest acquisition. Estrada finally complied, telling La Résistance that they can have their rematch with Brian and Brett Major next week on ECW.
- Extreme Exposé performed a dance routine in the ring, Kelly Kelly, Brooke and Layla notably feature stars in the new Timbaland single "Throw It On Me", which premieres next Monday night on RAW.
MATCH FOUR // Bobby Lashley and Rob Van Dam def. The New Breed (Marcus Cor Von and Elijah Burke) by disqualification in 15:23 after Matt Striker interfered, just to wind up brawling with CM Punk. The New Breed isolated the knee of RVD during the match, and twice Lashley got the tag when the referee was distracted. Late in the match Lashley finally made the tag and delivered a Spear to Burke. After Striker interfered it became a three-on-two beatdown of Lashley and Van Dam. Armando Estrada came out to get a closer look at the ECW World Champion's unfortunate predicament, until Punk hit the ring, attacking Striker and cleaning house of Burke! Lashley fired back at the New Breed members, and lined up a dazed Marcus Cor Von for a Spear, just for 'the Alpha Male' to bail from the ring, Lashley nailing the ECW General Manager with the Spear! Punk and Lashley stood tall, whilst a seething Burke and Cor Von watched on from the aisle; Estrada seemingly broken in half from the Spear, as ECW went off the air.

- Joey Styles and Tazz ran down the current line up for Judgment Day.

May 14, 2007 - Hampton, Virginia - Hampton Coliseum (7,200) "...To Be Loved" by Papa Roach Live on the USA Network (3.6)
SHOW REPORT:
- Six days ahead of Judgment Day, live on pay-per-view, Vince McMahon came out to a tepid response from the varying Hampton, Virginian crowd. The Chairman in the doo-rag strutted his way down to the ring, where the Chairman started off by talking about how it is a good day to be the Chairman. For starters because Judgment Day is looming nearer and nearer, and with that it also means that the days are counting down on John Cena's WWE Championship reign - as well as his career at the hands of the Great Khali. McMahon was booed, when he continued, referring to how 'the Punjabi Nightmare' demolished Shawn Michaels beyond repair last week. He ran a replay of the footage, the Chairman smugly showing off Khali's handiwork, and talking about how 'the Heartbreak Kid' will be out of action for what he personally hopes to be a very long time. John Cena interrupted, the WWE Champion coming out to a mixed ovation. Cena appeared more serious than usual tonight, clearly knowing that he is in for the fight of his life in six days. Cena told Vince that he had some words to say to him: one, the bandana on his head looks ridiculous, and two, he would not go down without a fight against the Great Khali. McMahon smirked and spoke in Ebonics about how he's "down" for anything Cena has to say, because the clock is ticking - and Cena's Judgment Day is rapidly approaching. Cena told McMahon that he doesn't understand why he's trying to push him out, but he wouldn't go like Shawn Michaels did. He talked about how Michaels stood independently for himself, and he didn't quit until the match with Khali finished last week. Cena told Vince that he believed in the motto "Hustle, Loyalty and Respect", and that he's faced giants before, come and gone - and on Sunday night, he would wake up from 'the Punjabi Nightmare': still the WWE Champion.
Suddenly, Shane McMahon appeared on the TitanTron with the Great Khali towering over him by his side. Shane told Cena that his words of motivation are admirable, but that Cena has no idea what he was going into. Shane O'Mac told the WWE Champion that Khali will tear him apart, and when it's all over, Khali would crush Cena's square-head like a watermelon, and we would have our first Punjabi WWE Champion. Khali then spoke in his native language, pointing and motioning that Cena would be left broken and beaten on Sunday. Back in the ring, Vince asked Cena how he felt about the Great Khali now. Cena looked at McMahon and told him suddenly that he didn't want to wait until Sunday night. The Chairman asked Cena what he was going to do about it, to which Cena told Mr McMahon that he was going to seek and destroy the Great Khali, and beat him at his own game! McMahon chuckled, telling Cena that he stands no chance in hell of overcoming that monster tonight, let alone on Sunday. Cena smirked back, then told McMahon that he was right - but he'd still try. Cena then delivered the FU on the Chairman, leaving McMahon laying! Cena jetted out of the ring, in search of his opponent at Judgment Day!
- Maria was backstage, standing by with Santino Marella. She asked 'the Italian Stallion' what he thought of Johnny Nitro, and all of the negative comments he had to say about him. Santino spoke Italian, then told Maria that Nitro is Hollywood garbage, to translate. He told Maria that Johnny smells like a trash can, and to not even get him started on his girlfriend, Melina. Maria giggled, before Santino told Maria that he heard what she said about him last week, calling him cute. Santino told Maria that he felt the same way about her, but Edge suddenly interrupted. 'The Rated R Superstar' asked what this was all about, telling Santino that he is a joke. He told Santino that he and Johnny Nitro don't talk - but he agrees with him, that Santino being a part of the RAW roster is a joke! Edge told Maria to be professional and ask him some important questions about what he was going to do to Randy Orton at Judgment Day. But Santino defended her honor, telling Edge to take his loudmouth Canadian hostility elsewhere. Edge told the Italian that that sounded like a challenge - promising to make an example out of Marella tonight.
MATCH ONE // Mark Henry def. Chris Masters by disqualification in 5:05 after Masters nailed Henry with a steel chair. 'The Masterpiece' attempted the Master Lock several times during the match but was unable to lock it in on 'the World's Strongest Man'. It led a frustrated Masters to attack Henry with the chair, after several examples of the size advantage being a weakness for the youngster. After the match Masters locked in the Master Lock on a semi-conscious Henry, 'the Masterpiece' screaming that he was 'the World's Strongest Man'. - WWE Champion John Cena was seen walking through the backstage area, Cena with a serious look on his face, in search of the Great Khali and Shane McMahon. Cena ran into Howard Finkel, who asked how he was. Cena blanked him, telling 'the Fink' that he would speak to him later. He then ran into Cryme Tyme. Shad and JTG spoke out to John about how ridiculous Vince McMahon was looking these days, and what was up with his terrible street talk. Cena chuckled, telling them that the Chairman was more vanilla than he was. He asked them if they had seen 'the Punjabi Nightmare' anywhere, but they had heard Khali was in catering. Cena told Cryme Tyme he was going to pay him a visit.
MATCH TWO // WWE Women's Champion Melina def. Mickie James in 5:10 after the Sunset Split. Late in the match, Victoria came to ringside to distract Mickie, which allowed for the finish to take place. After the match, Melina and Victoria started to attack Mickie until Candice Michelle came running down to the ring, although Melina and Victoria bailed in self-defense.
- Todd Grisham was backstage with the World Tag Team Champions the Hardys, Jeff and Matt Hardy getting pumped up for eight-man tag team action in just a few moments. Todd asked them how they felt teaming tonight with the men they would face at Judgment Day with their titles on the line. Jeff 'wooo'd like 'the Nature Boy', talking about how he can't wait, that Flair is a living legend and they haven't fought before ever. Matt expressed the same, but told Grisham that it wouldn't stop them from getting the win. Matt called themselves tag team veterans, and having worked their way up to this point, which is why this Friday night on SmackDown, they would be proving the same thing to the WWE Tag Team Champions Deuce 'n Domino. Jeff told Todd that there were no excuses, that Flair and Carlito may be their partners tonight, but they would be their opponents, going down on Sunday night.
- WWE Champion John Cena was seated in catering with Eugene and Jim Duggan, as Eugene ate ice cream. Cena was trying to get information out of Eugene about the whereabouts of the Great Khali, but Eugene was busy eating the bowl. Cena asked Eugene if he went and got him some more ice cream, if that would help Eugene remember more, to which Eugene nonchalantly told the champ that it might do. Cena then turned to look at 'Hacksaw', who shrugged and "HOOOOO"d in his face. Perturbed, Cena gave up seeking information, standing up and knocking a plate of mac and cheese out of Ron Simmons' hand! Simmons looked down, then looked up at Cena, before delivering a "DAMN!" right in the WWE Champion's face.
MATCH THREE // World Tag Team Champions The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy), Ric Flair and Carlito (w/Torrie Wilson) def. The World's Greatest Tag Team (Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas), Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch in 10:33 after the Twist of Fate by Matt on Benjamin. There was some miscommunication between the Hardys and Ric Flair and Carlito during the match. Flair had the Figure-Four Leglock applied on Murdoch whilst Jeff came off the top rope with the Swanton Bomb on Murdoch, which damaged Flair's leg, causing a shouting match mid-ring. After the match 'the Nature Boy' grabbed a microphone, accusing Jeff and Matt of attacking him in Italy. Flair told the two that he didn't care what so-called respect the Hardys had for them, that Flair and Carlito would leave Judgment Day the new World Tag Team Champions. The Hardys were left in the ring, confused at the accusation.
- Executive Assistant Jonathan Coachman was in his office, the Coach speaking to Mr McMahon on the phone, frantically asking the Chairman if he got back to his penthouse alright. McMahon was yelling at Coachman in response, so it seemed, as Coachman held the phone away from his face. He was suddenly interrupted by the WWE Champion John Cena, who walked in, causing Coachman to tell McMahon he would call back. Cena got in Coach's face, sternly telling Coachman that he knows Coach is so far up McMahon's colon that when he speaks to Vince, he can see the top of Coach's dome pop out, but he demanded to know where Khali was. Coachman told Cena that he had been given strict orders to ensure that Cena and Khali do not go at it tonight, so he wouldn't divulge the whereabouts of 'the Punjabi Giant'. Cena chuckled, then told Coach that if he didn't want to tell him, that was fine. But that there was no stopping him from fighting Khali tonight. Cena left, causing Coach to pursue after him, pleading with the WWE Champion - but Cena slammed the door, and locked Coachman inside his own office!
MATCH FOUR // Edge def. Santino Marella in 3:52 after the Spear. Marella got in some offense on 'the Rated R Superstar', but 'the Italian Stallion' fell victim as a result of poor experience in comparison to the veteran. Edge pounded on Santino until he bled, and even delivered a rare Edgecution on the ringside floor, before finishing him off. Edge continued to pound on Marella after the match, including grabbing a steel chair. But before he swung for Marella, Randy Orton ran down to the ring and signalled for the RKO, but Edge prematurely struck Orton with the chair across the skull, knocking 'the Legend Killer' down! Edge stood tall, before setting up and connecting with a Spear, putting down his former Rated RKO partner.
- Carlito was seen with Torrie Wilson in the locker room, as Torrie asked Carlito how sure he was that it was the Hardys that attacked Ric Flair several weeks ago in Italy. The Puerto Rican told Torrie that if Ric Flair claimed it, then it had to have been them. In walked the Hardys, Jeff and Matt Hardy asking about the allegations. Carlito smirked, telling the World Tag Team Champions that the gig was up, that their brotherly tag team heroes run was over. Carlito told the Hardys that he knows it was them, no matter whether they admitted it or not. Carlito warned the Hardys that this Sunday, payback would be a bitch. Carlito and Torrie left, leaving the Hardys further baffled.
MATCH FIVE // WWE Intercontinental Champion Umaga def. The Highlanders (Robbie and Rory McAllister) in 1:40 after the Samoan Splash by Umaga on Rory. After the match 'the Samoan Bulldozer' screamed into a microphone in his native tribal Samoan tongue, the WWE Intercontinental Champion dominant, with no signs of any competition to his title in sight.
- Santino Marella was being checked on in the trainer's office, 'the Italian Stallion' still bloody after the savage beatdown endured by Edge earlier tonight. After a knock on the door, Maria came in, coming to check whether Santino was doing okay. Marella laughed it off, telling Maria that he felt high as a kite. Maria told Santino that it was sweet to have him sticking up for her. She seemed enamored by Santino, when Johnny Nitro suddenly walked in, laughing at Marella's expense. Nitro told Santino that he got his ass kicked tonight, and he deserved it. Nitro told Santino that he just managed to speak to Jonathan Coachman through the door, and he's got his wish: Santino's final match as a member of Monday Night RAW, next week. Nitro told Santino that if he lost, he would have nothing left but his miserable little shell of a life, back in Milan, Italy - where he belongs. Nitro laughed and left, leaving Marella vexed - whilst Maria was concerned.
- The WWE Champion John Cena made his way back out to the Hampton Coliseum in Virginia, the WWE Champion re-emerging after a failed search for the Great Khali. Cena slid down to the ring and quickly grabbed a microphone, telling the fans in Hampton that Monday Night RAW may be nearly over, but that this show would not end until he got his hands on the Great Khali! Cena reiterated that he was not going to wait until Judgment Day this Sunday, and that he wanted 'the Punjabi Nightmare' to come out here and truly find out what he is in for when they meet on pay-per-view. Cena stomped up and down the ring, Cena continually saying that the Great Khali is underestimating him, because he would die before he surrendered and lost the WWE Championship. Eventually, Jonathan Coachman came hurrying out, the Executive Assistant surrounded by security guards! The Coach told Cena that he finally got out of his office no thanks to Cena, but that it is useless to resist. Coachman told Cena that under orders of Mr McMahon, there would be no physical interaction between Cena and Khali until Sunday night at Judgment Day! Coachman sent the security guards down to the ring, surrounding the ring. Cena began to admit that maybe he should have seen this coming, it is deserved after all for locking Coach in his office. But as Cena was speaking, Shane McMahon slipped into the ring through the crowd, McMahon diving at Cena, but Cena very quickly and easily got him up, dropping Shane O'Mac with the FU! Security dove into the ring, when the Great Khali's music hit! 'The Punjabi Giant' came stomping down to the ring, the number one contender climbing into the ring whilst the security guards had Cena handcuffed. Khali delivered two huge brain chops to Cena, before picking Cena up by the skull and squeezing away at Cena in the corner! Khali then delivered a Tree Slam to the cuffed and defenseless WWE Champion, as Khali stood dominantly, with the WWE Championship in hand once again! It was yet another McMahon set-up, perhaps a sign of things to come this Sunday at Judgment Day, as RAW went off the air.

May 11, 2007 - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania - Mellon Arena (8,000) "Rise Up 2006" by Drowning Pool Broadcast on The CW (2.6)
SHOW REPORT:
MATCH ONE // World Tag Team Champion Matt Hardy def. King Booker (w/Queen Sharmell) in 11:24 after the Twist of Fate. Late in the match Hornswoggle came out from under the ring and tried tugging at the dress of Sharmell, causing her to run away in fear, ripping the bottom part of her dress off. Booker was distracted, allowing Hardy to pick up the win.
- After the humiliation just sustained by Hornswoggle, Queen Sharmell ran into her dressing room, covering up her thong with a towel. Sharmell was petrified of the leprechaun, when King Booker entered behind her, startling her thinking it was Hornswoggle again. Booker talked about how the "troll" was out of line, that he is messing with his Queen and royalty should not have to deal with peasants such as him and Finlay. Sharmell begged her husband to do something about this, wanting to get even with Booker. He told her that he would find a way.
- The SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long made his way out to the ring, the GM happy to be here in Pittsburgh tonight. Long took a microphone, addressing the situation surrounding last week's edition of SmackDown. Long talked about how it is true that Mr Kennedy in nine days will be going to challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship, when he faces the Undertaker at Judgment Day. However, Long had something to say about the way that Kennedy conducted himself last week, aligning himself with Montel Vontavious Porter to attack 'the Phenom'. Long made it clear that at Judgment Day there would be no interference, and that unfortunately for Kennedy, a steel chair is not a legal weapon to be used either in the World Heavyweight Championship bout. Long then announced that due to his loss last week to 'the Big Red Monster', tonight there would be a WWE United States Championship match, pitting Montel Vontavious Porter, against Kane! The Pittsburgh crowd were happy at the idea, when Mr Kennedy's theme prematurely interrupted the General Manager. Kennedy came down to the ring with a microphone in his hand for a change, as Kennedy got in the ring and complained about how unfair this was. Kennedy told Long that he proved last week that he could get in the ring with the Undertaker and he could beat 'the Deadman'. He found Long's explanation of a disqualification patronizing, and told Teddy that he would be looking at him very differently in two weeks time, when he is standing before him the new World Heavyweight Champion. Long told Kennedy that before Judgment Day, there was SmackDown tonight - and Long warned Kennedy not to look too far ahead into the future just yet, because he had a match tonight as well: and it was with 'the Rabid Wolverine' Chris Benoit! Benoit suddenly arrived, walking down to the ring, but Kennedy was vexed, yelling at the GM before exiting the ring quickly upon Benoit's arrival.
MATCH TWO // The Boogeyman def. Gregory Helms (w/WWE Cruiserweight Champion Chavo Guerrero) in 0:56 after the pumphandle slam. Before the match, Chavo Guerrero looked like he was set for competition with the Boogeyman after last week's turn of events, but after the Boogeyman arrived in the ring, with worms dripping from his mouth and smoke coming from his stick, Chavo quickly decided to let Helms cover him. Helms got in zero offense, as Boogeyman made short work of Helms. Guerrero was laughing at Helms' expense after the match whilst Boogeyman danced in the ring.
- In his office Theodore Long was receiving a massage from Kristal, as the SmackDown General Manager was talking about finding an assistant, complaining that he was getting too old for this. Kristal tried to bring up a friend of hers that could be worth contacting, when Chris Benoit walked into the ring. 'The Rabid Wolverine' thanked Long for the match with Mr Kennedy tonight, talking about how he couldn't wait to hear Kennedy's annoying, irritating voice beg for mercy tonight. Long then told Benoit that if there was anything else he could do, to just tell him. Benoit brought up Backlash, and how he lost the WWE United States Championship without being pinned. Long told Benoit to say no more, informing him that the man that walks out of SmackDown tonight as the WWE United States Champion - Montel Vontavious Porter or Kane - will go face 'the Rabid Wolverine' at Judgment Day! Benoit smiled, thanking him. Long went back to his massage, when Kristal went back to her suggestion - Vickie Guerrero. Long talked about how you could never trust a Guerrero because they always lie, cheat and steal. Kristal attempted to change her boyfriend's mind, bringing up how she lost the one man she loved more than anything. Long was reluctant, but finally accepted, granting her a job interview. Kristal was overjoyed, thanking Teddy with a kiss and a cuddle.
MATCH THREE // WWE United States Championship: Montel Vontavious Porter (c) def. Kane in 8:15 after the Playmaker. A competitive bout, where 'the Big Red Monster' could have won on two separate occasions. Kane delivered a Chokeslam at one point, but Porter was able to get his foot on the bottom rope. MVP attempted to get himself counted out, leaving, but Kane brought him back to the ring. Late in the match MVP was able to low blow Kane out of a Chokeslam predicament, sending him crashing into the referee. Porter capitalized, grabbing a ring bell and nailing Kane with it, making way for the finish. After the match, 'the Franchise Playa' was celebrating, when Kane suddenly sat up, freaking out the WWE United States Champion. MVP will now defend the WWE United States Championship against Chris Benoit at Judgment Day on May 20.
- WWE Tag Team Champions Deuce 'n Domino were hanging out with Cherry backstage when they came across one-half of the World Tag Team Champions Matt Hardy. The trio decided to approach Hardy, commenting sarcastically on Hardy's win earlier tonight. They joked at how he had a little midget help him out, but Matt had no idea what they were talking about. Hardy told Deuce 'n Domino to step out of the 1950s, because it was 2007, and the Hardys run the tag team divisions. Deuce 'n Domino laughed at him, talking about how one of their opponents at Judgment Day were born in the 50s (Ric Flair), and if the Hardys aren't careful, Ric Flair and Carlito will beat them for the titles in nine days. Matt proposed a match to settle this, challenging Deuce 'n Domino to a champions vs champions match next week on SmackDown. Domino laughed, telling Matt to tell his brother that they're gonna knock the color right out of his hair. The WWE Tag Team Champions left obnoxiously, leaving Hardy annoyed.
MATCH FOUR // Mike Mizanin (w/The Girls) def. Finlay in 5:50 after the Reality Check. Before the match the Miz wanted to talk some more about how underrated an athlete he was, and how he was SmackDown's next big Superstar that is being hidden from the world. 'The Fighting Irishman' was quick to interrupt. Finlay got the better of the Miz several times, but late in the match King Booker came down to ringside and reached under the ring, pulling Hornswoggle out by his ankle, and dragging him away up the aisle. The distraction allowed Mizanin to pull off arguably a big upset, which Miz celebrated ecstatically.
- Kristal was backstage, standing by with the WWE United States Champion Montel Vontavious Porter, wanting to know how 'the Franchise Playa' felt about his victory over Kane tonight. MVP was shocked at the notion, telling Kristal to tell her boyfriend Theodore Long that he was out of line even thinking about putting him in this match tonight. MVP talked about how he should be the one calling the shots, because he has an unlimited amount of talent, and no Superstar - not even Chris Benoit could match that. Porter told Kristal that 'the Rabid Wolverine' doesn't phase him, telling her that he was no longer the big man on campus anymore. MVP told Kristal that Benoit would face defeat yet again at the hands of 'the Most Valuable Player' in the WWE, come Judgment Day.
- Gregory Helms was seen storming through the backstage area, dripping in the remains of the Boogeyman's worm attack earlier tonight. He stormed into the locker room, where he finally saw the WWE Cruiserweight Champion Chavo Guerrero. Helms asked what that was all about, asking whatever happened to friendship. Chavo laughed at Gregory's enraged state, telling him that he was playing a practical joke! Guerrero laughed, but Helms told Chavo that this would come back to bite him, walking out. Chavo told Helms to lighten up, telling him again that it was just a rib!
- In the parking lot King Booker was seen carrying a struggling Hornswoggle in his arms, Booker telling Hornswoggle that he had besmirched royalty, that he, "the troll" had humiliated he and his wife Queen Sharmell too many times. Booker dumped Hornswoggle in a dumpster, Booker then picking up a nearby steel chair, and dumping that in the dumpster with him! Hornswoggle's struggles were no longer heard, as Booker was prepared to take the dumpster and roll it down the hill into the parking lot, when Finlay finally showed up, 'the Fighting Irishman' trading blows with Booker - but Booker finally got the upper hand when Finlay dropped his shillelagh! Booker used it on Finlay, before turning back to the dumpster, and rolling it down the slope, the dumpster falling on his side! Hornswoggle was down and hurt, whilst Booker declared this as defending Queen Sharmell's honor.
MATCH FIVE // Mr Kennedy def. Chris Benoit in 17:29 after the Green Bay Plunge. Benoit fought competitively with Kennedy, with Benoit almost scoring the win with the Crossface. Kennedy went right for the head of 'the Rabid Wolverine', attempting to re-injure the well-documented and previously operated neck of Benoit. Late in the match Benoit attempted to go for the Diving Headbutt, but Montel Vontavious Porter ran down to ringside and held onto Benoit's foot, allowing Kennedy to follow through with the finish. After the match, Porter left whilst Kennedy's hand was raised in victory. But suddenly, a gong hit, and the Undertaker's voice was heard! The Undertaker implored Mr Kennedy to continue lying to himself, because Kennedy's Judgment Day was nigh, and it spelled three words, "Rest in peace". Kennedy was left intimidated yet fired up and looking around anxiously awaiting 'the Phenom', as SmackDown went off the air.
OTHER NOTES:
- It was announced that Ozzy Osbourne would appear next week to perform "I Don't Wanna Stop", the official theme song for Judgment Day, live on SmackDown.
- It was announced that Chavo Guerrero would defend the WWE Cruiserweight Championship against Jimmy Wang Yang next week on SmackDown.
- It was announced that WWE Women's Champion Melina would be in attendance next week on SmackDown.

- A video package aired taking a look at The Condemned, starring Steve Austin and Vinny Jones. It is out in theatres everywhere now.
- Included an advertisement for WWE Judgment Day, live on pay-per-view on May 20, 2007.

May 8, 2007 - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania - Mellon Arena (8,000) "This Is The New Sh*t" by Marilyn Manson Aired on the Sci-Fi Network (1.5)
SHOW REPORT:
- The new ECW General Manager Armando Estrada made his way to the ring to kick off ECW on Sci-Fi, Estrada ushering in a new era in ECW, claiming that this was to be nothing like the old ECW. Armando talked about how joyous he was to be standing here, although it is a shame that it is in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Estrada continued to boos, talking about the All Out War he made last week, with a new number one contender to the ECW World Championship named. He welcomed out the man that came out on top, bringing Marcus Cor Von out to the ring to boos from the Mellon Arena. 'The Alpha Male' was dressed classy, wearing a leopard print shirt. Unfortunately, Elijah Burke was with him. Estrada handed Cor Von the microphone, but before he could even speak, 'the Elijah Experience' took it and began to talk about the New Breed's invasion of ECW. He talked about it as if it was his brainchild, that he came into ECW with a mission, and that mission was to change it for the better. Burke talked about how proud he was of the New Breed, and that on May 20, the ECW World Championship would be coming to the New Breed. Bobby Lashley interrupted, begging to differ - as the ECW World Champion came to the ring, trying to contextualize it all. Lashley brought up the sly way in which Cor Von won the All Out War last week. Lashley then commented on how he has this weasel, Elijah Burke in his ear - and to top it all off, Armando Estrada is the new GM. Lashley approached Estrada and looked him in the eyes, asking him if that intimidated him! Lashley told Estrada once again that he knows how biased Estrada will be, he sees through him. Lashley then turned to Cor Von, telling 'the Alpha Male' that he couldn't beat him - and he'd prove it at Judgment Day. Burke then looked to attack Lashley, just for Lashley to fight him off, when Cor Von came out of nowhere with the Pounce on Lashley! Cor Von grinned, whilst Burke raised 'the Alpha Male's hand. Estrada clapped at the New Breed's teamwork, and perhaps this could be the beginning of the end of Lashley's reign as ECW World Champion come Judgment Day.
- Backstage Elijah Burke walked with Marcus Cor Von, clapping in celebration after the New Breed took out the ECW World Champion Bobby Lashley moments ago. 'The Alpha Male' was pumped up, when the two encountered Matt Striker, who congratulated Cor Von again on the victory last week. 'The Teacher' tried to talk, but Burke told him to shut up. Burke talked about how the New Breed were briefly on rocky terms, but that they were going to show Lashley, the ECW Originals, and even General Manager Armando Estrada who ran ECW on Sci-Fi. CM Punk soon showed up, 'the Straight Edge Superstar' looking irked as he confronted Cor Von and Burke. He claimed that he had the match won last week, if it wasn't for Cor Von. Burke told Punk to understand his role. Punk told the New Breed that they can think what they like, but tonight's match against Rob Van Dam was for one man and one man only - CM Punk. Punk walked away, whilst Burke ordered Striker to go out there and beat Sabu tonight.
MATCH ONE // Sabu def. Matt Striker in 6:06 after the chair-assisted springboard moonsault. Sabu introduced a steel chair early, but did not use it as a weapon but rather to assist himself in aerial attacks. 'The Teacher' cowered from Sabu early, and got in some offense due to some underhanded tactics. Striker was frustrated with the loss.
- General Manager Armando Estrada was talking to Mr McMahon on the phone about how the job is going, Estrada telling McMahon that he is going to have a lot of fun messing with Bobby Lashley. But suddenly, the Sandman waltzed into the room, the ECW Original slamming his Singapore cane on the desk of Estrada, prematurely ending his business call. Estrada asked what the barbarian drunk wanted, and Sandman responded by telling him that he wanted Elijah Burke. Estrada hesitated, but Sandman threateningly swung his Singapore cane at the wall, smashing down a framed image of the Chairman! Estrada pleaded, accepting Sandman's request to face 'the Elijah Experience' tonight!
- The Extreme Exposé trio danced in the ring with chairs, entertaining the Pittsburgh crowd until Jillian Hall's theme hit, interrupting Brooke, Layla and Kelly Kelly. Jillian came out singing terribly, as she told the trio that they could never be as talented she was. Jillian called herself a real pop star, whilst the Extreme Exposé were merely back-up dancers. Hall said that Timbaland should have picked her to collaborate on his upcoming single "Throw It On Me", telling the Extreme Exposé that they weren't worth anybody's time, let alone a cameo in a music video. She left, leaving the trio of Divas annoyed at Hall's rude interruption.
MATCH TWO // Snitsky def. Stevie Richards in 3:28 after the big boot. Richards put up a fight against Snitsky, but it was short lived, as Snitsky dominated this match. After the match Snitsky delivered a second big boot to Richards until Balls Mahoney came out with his steel chair in hand, 'the Chair Swinging Freak' hitting the ring, but Snitsky decided to leave on his own terms, ignoring the ECW Original.
- The ECW World Champion Bobby Lashley was seen being tended to by a trainer, Lashley attempting to shake off the Pounce he suffered earlier tonight by Marcus Cor Von. Rebecca approached Lashley for comment, to which Lashley simply told Rebecca that the night was still young, and that Marcus Cor Von has no idea what kind of fighter he can be.
- A vignette aired, promoting the official debut of La Résistance, Sylvain Grenier and Robert Conway. They debut next week on ECW on Sci-Fi.
MATCH THREE // Elijah Burke def. The Sandman in 4:50 after the Elijah Express. Burke grabbed Sandman's Singapore cane and nailed Sandman in the groin with it, allowing for the finish to take place. After the match Burke continued to stomp away at Sandman until Sabu hit the ring, 'the Suicidal, Homicidal, Genocidal' Sabu tossing his steel chair at Burke just to miss, as Burke frantically exited the ringside area.
- Backstage, Rebecca was standing by with CM Punk, moments away from his main event bout with Rob Van Dam. Rebecca asked about the tension building between he and the New Breed, to which 'the Straight Edge Superstar' commented that he thought it was a great idea, at the time. Punk was about to speak negatively about the New Breed when a frantic and exhausted Elijah Burke came to confront Punk. He was mad that Punk wasn't there to watch his back, which caused Punk to oppose Burke; asking him where his boozin' buddies Marcus Cor Von or Matt Striker were. Punk told Burke that the New Breed shouldn't have to save their so-called master, then told Burke that the New Breed would be better off without him.
MATCH FOUR // Rob Van Dam def. CM Punk in 13:40 after the Five-Star Frog Splash. A back and forth encounter with a lot of hard-hitting shots and near falls. Late in the match Elijah Burke came to ringside to distract the referee, allowing Marcus Cor Von to hit the ring, delivering a shocking Pounce to 'the Straight Edge Superstar', which allowed for the finish to take place. RVD was surprised at the assist, when Burke suddenly started attacking 'Mr Tuesday Night', but Van Dam was able to fight him off. Marcus Cor Von delivered the Pounce to Van Dam, when Bobby Lashley suddenly charged the ring, chasing the New Breed away! Burke restrained a game 'Alpha Male', telling Cor Von to simply wait until Judgment Day. Lashley glared the New Breed down, as ECW on Sci-Fi went off the air.

May 7, 2007 - State College, Pennsylvania - Bryce Jordan Center (7,000) "...To Be Loved" by Papa Roach Live on the USA Network (3.6)
SHOW REPORT:
- The Great Khali was led to the ring by Shane McMahon to kick off Monday Night RAW, Shane standing beside 'the Punjabi Nightmare' as they took over the ring. McMahon grinned, as he talked about his newest investment in the Great Khali. McMahon talked about how Khali has made a statement since day one, that being to dominate the WWE, taking out any Superstars in his path. He talked up how Khali has destroyed the Undertaker, he has destroyed Bobby Lashley, and he has destroyed Kane - but now he wants one thing, and one thing only: the WWE Championship. McMahon mentioned how Khali is the most intimidating man to be in the ring with, talking up how they delivered a message loud and clear to John Cena last week when they destroyed both he and Shawn Michaels last week. John Cena's theme loudly trumped Shane's speech, the WWE Champion receiving a threshold of boos from the State College crowd. Cena stood in the ring and looked up at Khali, Cena telling Shane that he had picked a mammoth of an investment. Cena talked up Khali as a monster, how he takes the best WWE Superstar and reaches his hand down his throat, then rips them inside out. But unfortunately for Khali, he wouldn't just lay down and beg for mercy. Cena brought up hustle, loyalty and respect, and told Khali that he wouldn't back down from a fight - telling Khali that he would give him a shot at the WWE Championship at Judgment Day in two weeks! Shane conferred with Khali, before Shane told Cena that he accepted the challenge. But before anything else went down, Shawn Michaels' theme hit, bringing out 'the Heartbreak Kid'. Michaels got a huge reaction, as he talked about how Cena can stand aside for a moment, because he had something to get off his chest. HBK told Khali that he's doing this for himself, that he wouldn't stay down. He brought up his back injury that caused him to take four years of his career out on the sidelines, and that he didn't stay down then - he wouldn't stay down now. Michaels challenged Khali's Punjabi ass to a match tonight, when Shane jumped in - Shane O'Mac asking Shawn if he just wanted a match, or if he wanted a real fight. Shane told Michaels to up the ante a little bit, challenging Shawn to make it a No-Disqualification match. Michaels accepted defiantly, leaving Cena in shock!
- Shawn Michaels was seen walking through the backstage area, when the WWE Champion John Cena chased up to him, the WWE Champion wanting to ask 'the Heartbreak Kid' what he was thinking, if he wanted to risk his career tonight against the Great Khali. HBK told Cena that he shouldn't count Michaels out. He said that he'd faced many Goliaths over the course of his career, but that he felt lucky tonight. Michaels told Cena that he couldn't wait until they faced off once again for the WWE Championship, and the two shook hands. HBK left to get ready, but Cena was left looking concerned. MATCH ONE // Number One Contender's: Ric Flair and Carlito (w/Torrie Wilson) def. Cryme Tyme (Shad Gaspard and JTG), The World's Greatest Tag Team (Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas) & Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch in a four corner elimination match. Cryme Tyme were eliminated in 4:22 after the superkick by Benjamin into the German suplex by Haas on JTG. The World's Greatest Tag Team were eliminated in 7:54 after the Backstabber by Carlito on Benjamin. Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch were eliminated in 10:12 after the Figure-Four Leglock by Flair on Murdoch. As a result of the victory, Flair and Carlito will now challenge the Hardys for the World Tag Team Championship at Judgment Day on May 20.
- Mark Henry was seen entering the locker room, where he was greeted happily by various RAW Superstars, including Super Crazy, Val Venis and the Highlanders. 'The World's Strongest Man' then encountered Jim Duggan, the two veterans sharing a long 'HOOOO' together. Henry seemed genuinely happy to be back on Monday Night RAW, saying how he missed the locker room. Mark told the Superstars if they ever needed anything, to just hit him up and he'd problem solve anything at any time. He sat down, when Chris Masters approached him, 'the Masterpiece' telling Mark that he was unimpressed by his performance last week. Mark stood up again, standing face to face with Masters, who told Mark that he called himself 'the World's Strongest Man', but that all he sees is the 'World's Largest Joke'. Masters scoffed, when Henry warned Masters that an attitude like that would wind up with him getting his ass kicked, personally. Masters snarled and walked away.
MATCH TWO // Mickie James def. Victoria in 3:51 after the Mickie-DT. WWE Women's Champion Melina joined Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler on commentary, complaining once again about how Timbaland had invited pretty girl no-talent hacks like Candice Michelle and Extreme Exposé to participate in his music video, complaining that she was the real star of the women's division. After the match, Melina stood up and told Mickie that she knew what it felt like to be cast aside, and talked about uniting the real WWE Divas to stand up against the Divas starring in Timbaland's "dumb" music video. Mickie appeared confused, but Melina continued as she climbed into the ring. Melina told Mickie to consider it, telling her that they are the ones on WWE television every week busting their asses, whilst Extreme Exposé, Torrie Wilson, Maria, Ashley and Maryse are a virus to what they stand for. Melina asked Mickie about what she had to say, and it was loud and clear - delivering a Mick Kick, laying out the WWE Women's Champion!
- In the locker room, Ric Flair pulled the cork out from a champagne bottle, with foam flying all over himself and Torrie Wilson, 'the Nature Boy ecstatic about his and Carlito's victory tonight. Carlito appeared slightly less enthusiastic. Flair told Carlito to be happy, that they won tonight and that they were going to Judgment Day to claim those World Tag Team Championships. Carlito told Ric that he was thinking about something, bringing up the idea that it was the Hardys that attacked Flair in Italy two weeks ago. But suddenly, the Hardys arrived - Jeff and Matt Hardy, the World Tag Team Champions congratulating Flair and Carlito on their victory. The two teams shook hands, when Jeff and Matt told Flair and Carlito that they would not take them lightly come Judgment Day. The Hardys left, which caused a light bulb to go off in Flair's head, looking at Carlito with genuine concern.
MATCH THREE // Chris Masters def. Super Crazy in 4:18 after the Master Lock. After the match Masters refused to relinquish the hold on Super Crazy, 'the Master Lock' ignoring the referee's orders. Finally Mark Henry decided to come down to the ring, 'the World's Strongest Man' climbing inside which caused Masters to let go of the hold. Henry squared up to Masters, asking him if he wanted a fight - but Masters simply smirked, and left for the backstage area. Mark aided to Crazy, who appeared injured after Masters' attack.
- Maria was backstage standing by with Johnny Nitro, wanting to get his reasons for disliking Santino Marella so much. Nitro removed his shades and looked at Maria, asking if she was kidding. Nitro told Maria that Santino got lucky to even get a job at the WWE, and now he has to see him around the locker room, and he sees him acting like a big Superstar now because he got a win over Johnny Nitro. Nitro asked Maria what she thought of Santino, to which she said that he was "kinda cute". Nitro was disgusted by Maria's comment, simply leaving.
- Edge made his way down to the ring, 'the Rated R Superstar' here to host another edition of the Cutting Edge with his former Rated RKO partner after Randy Orton's RKO on him last week. Edge stood in the ring in front of the set, as he began to address 'the Legend Killer's behavior, calling him out on being both a hot-head, and a terrible tag team partner. Edge talked up his accolades as a tag team wrestler, countless times holding the World Tag Team Championships. But Edge told the truth as he claimed that he was moving on from that, that he was a singles competitor through and through, being a two-time WWE Champion and a five-time WWE Intercontinental Champion. In contrast, Edge asked what Randy Orton ever did, beside being a transitional World Heavyweight Champion at best! Suddenly, Randy Orton interrupted him to a decent reaction, 'the Legend Killer' coming to the ring and asking Edge when he was going to get to the guest and invite him out already. Orton called Edge a terrible host and that his show sucked, causing Edge to get riled up. Edge told Orton that he carried Orton to this point, and that Orton was always dragging him down. Edge told Orton that his personal interests get caught up to him, and that's why Orton would never be a big a star as 'the Rated R Superstar'! Orton promptly slapped Edge across the face to a loud ovation. Orton then berated Edge as somebody that takes shortcuts to get to where he wants to be. He said that Edge was in the right place at the right time when he cashed in Money in the Bank last year to become WWE Champion; and that he can't handle the idea that anybody can be a bigger star than him. And besides, if anything, Edge's reign as WWE Champion absolutely was as a transitional, paper champion. Edge told Orton that it seems this leaves them two options, to shake hands and go their separate ways, or he could take him out right now. Orton said that actually, he wanted to truce. He called Edge a sound enough guy, that he admits they are too different to carry on as Rated RKO. Orton extended his hand, and despite some hesitance, Edge accepted it. But Orton wouldn't leave. And all of a sudden, Orton nailed Edge with a sudden RKO! Edge was left laying again tonight on RAW, as Orton stood tall over 'the Rated R Superstar' with a big smirk on his face!
- In Jonathan Coachman's office, the Executive Assistant was seen texting on his phone when Shane McMahon entered the office, the Coach quick to ask Shane what he wanted. Shane calmly told Coachman to leave his own office, but Jonathan was adamant that this was his office, and that he called the shots on Monday Night RAW. Shane asked Coachman how long he'd be running the show, when the Great Khali entered, glaring at Coachman and causing him to scram from the office. Shane was talking to Khali, telling him that they sent the message to the WWE locker room last week, and now Khali has the WWE Championship shot at Judgment Day - but now, tonight 'the Punjabi Nightmare' had to send another message, in the form of destroying Cena's on-again off-again rival Shawn Michaels. Khali nodded along.
MATCH FOUR // Santino Marella def. Johnny Nitro by count-out in 4:31 after Nitro failed to make it back into the ring. Nitro continuously cut Marella off, but the match spilled out to the ringside area, where Santino was able to headbutt Nitro over the announce table. Nitro made it back into the ring just as he was counted out. After the match, as Nitro charged Marella in frustration, Marella delivered an inverted atomic drop and then delivered a neckbreaker to Nitro, causing Nitro to bail and throw a temper tantrum on the floor whilst Santino saluted to the State College crowd.
- Edge was seen recovering after yet another humiliating RKO from his former Rated RKO partner Randy Orton earlier tonight on the Cutting Edge. 'The Rated R Superstar' was approached by comment by Todd Grisham, but Edge yelled at him, telling Todd that this was now two weeks in a row where he'd put up with 'the Legend Killer's crap. Edge told Todd to tell 'the Legend Killer' that he wanted to fight him fair and square, and that is how everybody would know who the better man is, wanting a match at Judgment Day!
MATCH FIVE // No-Disqualification: The Great Khali (w/Shane McMahon) def. Shawn Michaels in 7:17 after the Vice Grip. Michaels tried to put up a fight, but Khali dominated the match, busting Michaels open and even delivering a Tree Slam through the announce table before causing Michaels to pass out with the finish. After the match 'the Punjabi Nightmare' refused to release the hold, whilst Shane O'Mac barked orders. Finally WWE Champion John Cena came charging out to make the save, but after several body blows to Khali, Khali delivered an overhead chop, then left Cena laying out cold with the Tree Slam. Khali once again stood tall, holding the WWE Championship held high with Shane McMahon by his side, as RAW went off the air.
OTHER NOTES:
- Cryme Tyme promoted the Mother's Day sale on WWE Shopzone.com, Shad Gaspard and JTG displaying the gifts that they had stolen from Eugene, Viscera and Ron Simmons. Big Dick Johnson showed up dressed as Spiderman to crash the party, until Shad Gaspard introduced a baseball bat and called himself Batman, beating Johnson with the baseball bat.

May 4, 2007 - Birmingham, Alabama - BJCC (5,000) "Rise Up 2006" by Drowning Pool Broadcast on The CW (2.7)
SHOW REPORT:
- Friday Night SmackDown went on the air with Mr Kennedy stomping down to the ring, Kennedy the new number one contender to the World Heavyweight Championship after beating Kane at Backlash. Kennedy arrived in the ring, where he reached high for the microphone above to lower. He began to address the Birmingham crowd, telling them that they should be thanking him for showing his face in a place like Alabama, where people walk on their hands and everyone marries their cousins. Kennedy was booed but proceeded, talking about how he is not here for them, nor is he here for the Undertaker either. Kennedy informed the crowd that he was here to present himself - in advance - as the next World Heavyweight Champion. Unfortunately, the Undertaker's gong went off, and out came the World Heavyweight Champion - having retained his title after engaging in a war with Batista in a Last Man Standing match at Backlash. Undertaker ominously made his way to the ring, before telling Kennedy loud and clear that Kennedy's Judgment Day was awaiting him, and that Kennedy would fall, much like 'the Animal' did at Backlash. Kennedy appeared visibly irked by 'the Deadman's interruption, telling him that the Undertaker has been the big dog running this yard for seventeen years, but that Friday Night SmackDown was for the future - and he was the future. All of a sudden, WWE United States Champion Montel Vontavious Porter hit the ring, MVP slipping into the ring and nailing Undertaker from behind with his title! Kennedy and Porter put the boots to 'the Phenom', until the corners burst flames out from them, bringing out a furious Kane! 'The Big Red Monster' hit the ring, delivering uppercuts to both Kennedy and MVP, fending them away from the ring! Undertaker sat up, the Brothers of Destruction glaring at Kennedy and MVP as they fled the scene.
- SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long was seen in his office on the phone, when Kristal approached her boyfriend, Long telling her that he had just got off the phone with a doctor, who had informed him that coming out of the Last Man Standing match at Backlash, Batista would be unable to compete for several weeks due to suffering three broken ribs and a minor separated shoulder from spearing into the stage and receiving a Chokeslam from the stage. Suddenly, in waltzed an arrogant Mike Mizanin with his Girls, sarcastically commenting that it was such a shame to hear. Long rolled his eyes, whilst the Miz talked about opportunity, and asked about where his opportunity was. Long had an idea or two, asking him if he knew about costing Matt Hardy his match with Edge last week. Miz told Long that Hardy beat him two weeks ago, and that he felt like getting even. Long brought up opportunity once more, giving him the opportunity to face Matt once again, tonight! Miz was beside himself, storming out of the office.
MATCH ONE // Paul London and Brian Kendrick def. WWE Cruiserweight Champion Chavo Guerrero and Gregory Helms in 6:38 after the running shooting star press by London on Helms. WWE Tag Team Champions Deuce 'n Domino rode out to the aisleway with Cherry in the back of their Cadillac, Deuce arrogantly honking the horn and attempting to distract London and Kendrick. After the match Deuce got on the microphone and told London and Kendrick that they left them stranded last week, and how they didn't appreciate it. Unfortunately for them, Deuce claimed that it would take a lot more than that to ever get another shot at their titles again. Deuce 'n Domino left, with Deuce continuing to honk the horn loudly, much to the former champions' disapproval.
- Jillian Hall was in the backstage hallway, Hall angrily talking to the seamstress about the humiliation she had to endure last week on SmackDown when she lost the bra and panties match to Ashley, and how Michelle McCool made for an incredibly bias special guest referee. Jillian claimed that everybody knew that she was more talented than the Playboy covergirl "stripper", and that she had the lungs of a true angel. Michelle McCool however was nearby and overheard, asking Jillian if she felt like being humiliated again here tonight. Jillian scoffed, telling Michelle that she already knows she is better than Ashley, and Michelle can call herself an athlete - but that she would beat beat her into humility herself in their match. Jillian left the scene, singing incredibly badly.
- King Booker was in his personal dressing room with Queen Sharmell, Booker bothered by the fact he came up short in the fatal four-way match to claim the WWE United States Championship at Backlash. Sharmell was trying to comfort Booker, but Booker was also upset about losing Money in the Bank back at WrestleMania as well. Booker told Sharmell that nothing he was doing was working, and told Sharmell that he would right things tonight when he takes on his former knight, 'Sir' Finlay.
MATCH TWO // Jillian Hall def. Michelle McCool in 3:43 after a roll-up with her feet on the ropes. After the match Jillian scrambled from the ring leaving McCool angry. Jillian got on the microphone and climbed on top of the announce table, telling Michelle that she was better than her, before singing terribly, much to the disapproval of the Birmingham crowd.
- Mr Kennedy was with the WWE United States Champion Montel Vontavious Porter, talking about their ambush on the Undertaker, and how Kane messed everything up. 'The Franchise Playa' attempted to motivate Kennedy, talking about how he would walk out of Judgment Day as the World Heavyweight Champion, just like he said. Suddenly, SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long approached the two, telling them that it was impressive how they worked together to attack the Undertaker earlier tonight, but unfortunately for them, he felt that this called for a tag team match - Kennedy and MVP, going up against the Undertaker and Kane - the Brothers of Destruction!
MATCH THREE // Finlay def. King Booker (w/Queen Sharmell) in 13:16 after the Celtic Cross. Late in the match Hornswoggle appeared from under the ring, and once again started to stalk Sharmell around the ringside area, which caused Booker to be distracted leading to the finish. After the match, with Sharmell angered by the loss, Hornswoggle dove on Sharmell, kissing her on the ringside floor much to her disgust! Hornswoggle ran to Finlay, 'the Fighting Irishman' pleased with his win. The royal couple were left seething in anger.
- Kristal was in the interview area, standing by with one-half of the World Tag Team Champions, Matt Hardy. She asked Matt what it was like to be a champion and be on both brands at the same time. Hardy told Kristal that it was hard at times, but that he is a fighting champion over on RAW - as the Hardys' successful defense against Rated RKO showed last Sunday at Backlash. But Matt claimed that he was not abandoning SmackDown whatsoever, he wanted even more gold around his waist. Hardy claimed that his journey would continue tonight, when he shuts Mike Mizanin up once and for all.
- WWE Cruiserweight Champion Chavo Guerrero and Gregory Helms were backstage, upset at the fact that they had lost yet again. Chavo backtracked to the last couple of weeks, and how they get no respect. Chavo said that he was the WWE Cruiserweight Champion and deserves more respect, whilst Helms claimed that he should be shown more respect because he's friends with the champ. Chavo told Gregory that they needed to make a statement, leaving the corridor suddenly.
MATCH FOUR // World Tag Team Champion Matt Hardy def. Mike Mizanin (w/The Girls) in 7:28 after the Twist of Fate. Mizanin used his Girls as a human shield at one point in cowering from Hardy. After the match the Miz grabbed a microphone and complained at how Hardy was a greedy individual with no respect for him. Miz talked up Theodore Long's continuing distrust as a General Manager, and how if it were up to him, he would be in contention for a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship. Miz then tripped and fell on his ass leaving, much to Hardy's hilarity.
- SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long was in the locker room talking with Paul London and Brian Kendrick about how there was nothing that he could do regarding another opportunity to face the WWE Tag Team Champions. Long apologized, but London and Kendrick were driven. They told Teddy that was no problem, that they would beat every tag team in their path if it meant getting another shot at Deuce 'n Domino, that they were the longest reigning WWE Tag Team Champions in brand history, and that they would get what is rightfully theirs back.
- After their loss earlier tonight, once again out came Chavo Guerrero and Gregory Helms, the WWE Cruiserweight Champion and his friend storming the ring to address the booing Birmingham crowd. Gregory started, complaining at the shoddy treatment they have received in past weeks. Helms talked himself up as being someone the people should look up to, and that Chavo was the man on top of the cruiserweight division. Chavo took over, talking about how his history is rich, he is a Guerrero after all. Chavo continued to rant about how he is elevating the cruiserweight division to unforeseen heights - when the Boogeyman's theme hit, and a smoke cloud began to form in the ring! Confused and disturbed, the Boogeyman crawled out from under the ring, worms dripping from his mouth. Slipping in, he tapped Helms on the shoulder, before delivering an uppercut. Chavo left his buddy high and dry, escaping the ring and running up the aisleway! Helms tried to escape, but Boogeyman grabbed a hold of his foot, before picking Helms up and driving him down with the pumphandle slam! Boogeyman let his mouthful of worms drip down on Helms' mouth - an impact made tonight by the unorthodox Boogeyman.
- Finlay was seen in the locker room talking to Hornswoggle, 'the Fighting Irishman' telling Hornswoggle that he didn't know how he did it, but he took King Booker off of his game. Hornswoggle nodded, then gestured with his hands the shape of breasts. Finlay gave him a noogie, commenting on how he has it out for Queen Sharmell, calling him a rascal. In walked King Booker, angry at how Hornswoggle had besmirched his wife. Booker told Finlay face to face that she was washing her mouth out with soap after being liplocked by the "troll". Finlay got defensive, telling Booker to leave if he wanted his teeth still intact. Booker told Finlay that he and Hornswoggle disgusted him, and that he would pay for this, leaving the locker room.
MATCH FIVE // The Brothers of Destruction (World Heavyweight Champion The Undertaker and Kane) def. Mr Kennedy and WWE United States Champion Montel Vontavious Porter in 12:37 after the Chokeslam by Kane on Porter. During the match, Kennedy and MVP double teamed Undertaker repeatedly, but when 'the Phenom' sat up, they stomped away at him together, trying to keep him down. MVP attempted to use his title as a weapon on Kane, which led to the finish. After the match, Kane set off his pyrotechnics, when Mr Kennedy slid into the ring, nailing Kane across the skull with a steel chair! Kennedy then nailed Undertaker with the chair as well, leaving the Brothers of Destruction laying. Kennedy stood tall, picking up the World Heavyweight Championship and looking at it, as SmackDown went off the air.

May 1, 2007 - Birmingham, Alabama - BJCC (5,000) "This Is The New Sh*t" by Marilyn Manson Aired on the Sci-Fi Network (1.6)
SHOW REPORT:
- Vince McMahon graced Birmingham with his presence to kick off ECW on Sci-Fi, McMahon still strutting to the ring with bad ribs, wearing a bandana with bandages over the top of his suit shirt. The Chairman addressed the win by Bobby Lashley, overcoming the odds against the McMahons and Umaga at Backlash. McMahon told Lashley that he may have won, but that their rivalry will continue. Vince detailed the agonizing pain he was in after Lashley broke three of his ribs with a Spear at Backlash, and called Lashley a coward. ECW World Champion Bobby Lashley was not about to take this, coming out to confront the Chairman. Vince cowered, then announced that he came here to reveal the new ECW General Manager...Armando Alejandro Estrada? Estrada came out and told Lashley not to attack the Chairman, otherwise he would be stripped of the ECW World Championship. Lashley looked vexed, as McMahon escaped. Vince shook the new ECW General Manager's hand whilst Lashley looked on, angry.
- The ECW Originals were gathered in the backstage area, each of the five men excited about finally getting an opportunity to challenge for the ECW World Championship after tonight's ten man All Out War. But the Sandman reminded Rob Van Dam and Tommy Dreamer that there is a chance that they will end up having to fight it out between them, and that there can only be one winner in tonight's match. The five men realized this, which led to RVD announcing that he and Sabu had to go elsewhere. Dreamer and Sandman agreed, leaving Balls Mahoney alone. Mahoney looked stumped, shrugged, then walked away.
MATCH ONE // Snitsky def. Little Guido in 1:24 after the big boot. Little Guido appeared in an insert promo prior to the match, saying that he didn't appreciate Snitsky attacking him last week. Guido said that he's been a member of the ECW locker room long enough, and that he deserved to get down and dance if he wanted to. On the contrary, this was a very one-sided match. Snitsky attacked Guido after the match, delivering a shoulder breaker to the Italian-American.
- The New Breed were seen congregating in the locker room, Matt Striker, Kevin Thorn and Marcus Cor Von talking when Elijah Burke entered the room. Elijah told Striker, Thorn and Cor Von that he wanted to apologize for how he acted after last Sunday's loss to the ECW Originals at Backlash. Burke said that he confessed that he was a bad leader, when CM Punk entered behind. Punk commented on how Burke is a terrible leader, and that if they wanted a real leader - then to look no further. This prompted arguing in the locker room, with each man making a case for how much they wanted a shot at Bobby Lashley's ECW World Championship. Things got tense, whilst 'the Straight Edge Superstar' smirked and quietly left.
- A vignette aired, previewing the return of La Résistance, with Sylvain Grenier snootily introducing Robert Conway. The Frenchmen are coming back to ECW soon.
- Extreme Exposé were dancing in the ring, Kelly Kelly, Layla and Brooke keeping the Birmingham crowd entertained, when Snitsky came back out. Snitsky entered the ring and stared at the trio, who looked very disturbed. Extreme Exposé left in fear, but Snitsky decided to follow them.
- Vince McMahon was shown out in the parking lot with the new ECW General Manager Armando Alejandro Estrada, the Chairman confiding that he had a lot of faith in Estrada. He told Armando to watch out for Lashley, before climbing into his limousine and leaving. Estrada was then confronted by the ECW World Champion Bobby Lashley, who told Estrada that he had made a big mistake. Estrada responded by telling Lashley that depending on who won tonight's number one contenders All Out War - the ECW Originals or the New Breed - he would face that faction in a handicap match next week on ECW on Sci-Fi.
MATCH TWO // Number One Contender's - All Out War Match: Marcus Cor Von def. Matt Striker, Balls Mahoney, Tommy Dreamer, Kevin Thorn (w/Ariel), Rob Van Dam, The Sandman, Elijah Burke, Sabu & CM Punk in 20:26 after Cor Von hit Punk with the Pounce. The rules of this match were explained as being that there were no disqualifications, and that the only way to win was by scoring a three count or forcing another Superstar to submit first. The ECW Originals and the New Breed members fought like it was every man for themselves, with Burke and Cor Von, Van Dam and Sabu, and Dreamer and Sandman all forging alliances at one point or another. Mahoney barraged everybody in sight with a steel chair at one point. Burke kept trying to steal the win, causing him and Cor Von to start shoving one another. Sabu hit a springboard legdrop off the top, putting Thorn through a table. Van Dam hit a Van Terminator on Sandman. At one point Burke and the New Breed turned on Punk, all assaulting him until the Originals made the save. Punk hit the Go To Sleep on Van Dam and went for the cover, which led to the finish with Cor Von scoring the pin. Cor Von celebrated after the match, whilst the other members of the New Breed looked annoyed. Punk stood on his own on the aisleway, glaring at Elijah Burke in particular. As a result of winning, Marcus Cor Von will now challenge Bobby Lashley for the ECW World Championship at Judgment Day. Lashley will also face the New Breed in a five-on-one handicap match next week on ECW on Sci-Fi.
OTHER NOTES:
- Joey Styles and Tazz ran down the card for Backlash this Sunday night.
- The rules of the number one contender's All Out War match was explained, stating that it was every man for themselves, that there were no disqualifications, and that the match would end in one fall or submission victory would decide the winner.
- A video package aired taking a look at the behind the scenes filming process of "The Condemned", starring Steve Austin and Vinny Jones. It is out in theatres everywhere now.
- Included an advertisement for WWE Judgment Day, live on pay-per-view on May 20, 2007.

April 30, 2007 - Nashville, Tennessee - Gaylord Entertainment Center (10,300) "...To Be Loved" by Papa Roach Aired on the USA Network (3.6)
SHOW REPORT:
- Shawn Michaels kicked off RAW to discuss his hard-fought effort last night at Backlash with John Cena. Michaels commented that he may have his problems with Cena, but that despite everything, he respects him, and admitted that Cena was the better man in last night's match. WWE Champion John Cena came out and thanked HBK, telling Michaels that he would always be up for another match any time. The Chairman Vince McMahon interrupted, McMahon coming out with bandaged ribs over the top of his dress shirt. Suited but visibly hurting after being speared by Bobby Lashley last night, McMahon told Michaels that he knew he was a disgrace, but that he thought he could get the job done and take the WWE Championship from Cena, vetoing the idea of another match between Cena and Michaels. Cena made jokes at McMahon's expense, when Vince declared that tonight he would go one on one with the WWE Intercontinental Champion Umaga. Cena made more jokes about McMahon wearing a bandana, then declared that he would take care of 'the Samoan Bulldozer' tonight against Vince's best wishes.
- Backstage, Randy Orton was shown arriving to the Gaylord Entertainment Center late. 'The Legend Killer' looked very angry after Edge took him out after they had lost to the Hardys in the World Tag Team Championship match. Orton was storming past officials and personnel, when he was stopped by Eugene. Orton demanded to know if he had seen Edge but Eugene danced around the subject. Orton slapped Eugene across the face, continuing his search for the AWOL 'Rated R Superstar'.
- Maria was backstage, catching up with Santino Marella, asking the rookie how he had enjoyed his time as a member of the RAW locker room since debuting several weeks ago in his home country of Italy. Santino in a strong Italian accent appeared to be flirting with Maria, saying that everybody was lovely, except for one, Johnny Nitro. Santino said that he warned Nitro not to pick on him or his country, and that tonight they'd be involved in a mixed tag match with Melina...and Candice Michelle. Candice smiled, and Santino appeared smitten as she kissed him on his cheek.
MATCH ONE // Mixed Tag Team Match: Johnny Nitro and WWE Women's Champion Melina def. Santino Marella and Candice Michelle in 3:20 after Melina hit Candice with the Extreme Makeover. Nitro attacked Marella after the match, stomping away at Santino and leaving him laying with the corkscrew legdrop.
- Randy Orton continued his search for Edge in the locker room, where a conversation between Jim Duggan, Val Venis and the Highlanders was ended abruptly. 'The Legend Killer' asked the trio whether they had seen or heard from Edge since last night. The trio remained silent, with Orton angrily speaking up, reiterating that he demanded to know where 'the Rated R Superstar' was. Duggan barked up that he hadn't seen him. Orton got in Duggan's face, reminding him of when he added the WWE Legend to his list of legends he has killed. Orton told Duggan that he better hope Orton finds Edge...or else. Venis, Robbie and Rory McAllister held Duggan back as Orton left.
- Executive Assistant Jonathan Coachman was on the phone in his office when Chairman Vince McMahon entered. The Coach remained on the phone, when McMahon took the phone and hung up on Coach's behalf mid-conversation. Vince told Coach that he was in a foul mood, and that he wanted something to be done about Lashley for spearing him last night and breaking three of his ribs. Coach then reminded Vince that not only was Lashley not here, but that he was an ECW Superstar, and that he was only in power of RAW. Vince had an idea, telling Coachman to leave his own office so that he could mull this over. Coachman left hesitantly. MATCH TWO // Carlito and Ric Flair (w/Torrie Wilson) def. The World's Greatest Tag Team (Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas) in 4:39 after the Figure-Four Leglock by Flair on Benjamin. It was noted that Carlito and Flair figured that the World's Greatest Tag Team were the ones behind the attack made on Flair several weeks ago in Italy. After the match, Flair kept the Figure-Four locked in on Benjamin whilst Carlito interrogated Benjamin, who repeatedly confessed that he and Haas had nothing to do with the assault on Flair, but that Cryme Tyme knew. Carlito and Flair looked perplexed afterwards.
- Randy Orton was continuing to hunt for 'the Rated R Superstar' backstage, when he stumbled across World Tag Team Champion Jeff Hardy. Orton asked Jeff if he came here to rub in the fact that he was Mr Money in the Bank, and that the Hardys beat Rated RKO last night. Jeff told him that he didn't have to, since Edge made Orton his bitch last night at Backlash. Orton got angry and got in Jeff's face, warning Hardy not to push him. Jeff then pushed Orton, literally. Hardy told Orton that he hadn't seen Edge if that's what 'the Legend Killer' wanted to know, but that if he wanted to get some anger out of his system, Jeff will bring the fight. Orton glared at Jeff and hesitated, but then told him that he would - because then he can do what Edge couldn't last night, and that's beat a Hardy. Orton warned Jeff that he would beat his ass, leaving. Jeff told Orton that he'd see about that.
- Carlito and Ric Flair were backstage with Torrie Wilson, as the trio pondered who had attacked them. Carlito seemed to speculate that if Shelton Benjamin was right, that Cryme Tyme could not only be knowing of who attacked 'the Nature Boy in Italy, but could have been the perpetrators. Cryme Tyme arrived, Shad Gaspard and JTG being stopped by Flair, who got in their faces. Flair slapped Shad and told him that he knew they knew who left him for dead two weeks ago. JTG and Shad tried to cool Flair down, when Carlito said that the World's Greatest Tag Team had confessed, telling Cryme Tyme to confess already. JTG confessed that they stole one of Flair's robes a while back and sold it for $25,000. Ashamed, Flair looked at Carlito baffled. Carlito casually commented that that wasn't cool, irking Flair.
MATCH THREE // World Tag Team Champion Jeff Hardy def. Randy Orton in 13:20 after the Twist of Fate. A competitive match, where Orton appeared subdued, on the lookout for Edge. Orton hit an RKO at one point and instead of capitalizing on the predicament, searched around in case 'the Rated R Superstar' came out to jump him. Edge's theme hit, distracting Orton, which led to the finish. Orton was left angry after the match at falling for the distraction, before Edge attacked Orton from behind and began to lay into him with right hands. 'The Rated R Superstar' then prepared for the Spear, but when Orton got up groggy, Edge ran right into an RKO, leaving the Canadian down and out in the ring.
- In the locker room, WWE Intercontinental Champion Umaga was going crazy, slamming his hands and head against a metal locker door. 'The Samoan Bulldozer' was with Armando Alejandro Estrada as always, Armando telling Umaga to save some of that rage for John Cena, reminding him that he beat him to retain the WWE Championship back at the Royal Rumble. In walked Vince McMahon, looking hurt still. Umaga started shouting in his native language, to which the Chairman stepped back to wipe Umaga's spit off of his face. Vince told Umaga that he let the McMahon Dynasty down last night, but then motivated him, telling Umaga that he needs to stop John Cena tonight, and if anybody's going to do it, it's 'the Samoan Bulldozer'. Umaga started shouting some more, when Vince decided to pull Armando aside, asking if he could speak to him out in the hall...
- Todd Grisham was out in the parking lot, catching up with Edge before 'the Rated R Superstar' left the building. Grisham wanted to get some word on what motivated Edge's attack on Orton last night, and the dissension breaking apart Rated RKO folding over to tonight. Edge, pained from the RKO moments ago, spoke angrily that Orton was a hothead, and that he wasn't going to tell a nerd like Todd Grisham why he did it. He invited Orton to come on his show, the Cutting Edge next Monday night on RAW - and they can settle their differences man to man.
- Back live in the Gaylord Entertainment Center, Kenny Dykstra was in the ring. The former leader of the Spirit Squad had a microphone in hand, and was talking about how he felt slighted, that he doesn't get the respect that he truly deserves. Dykstra called himself a prodigy, the future of Monday Night RAW - and yet every single week he finds himself on HEAT. Dykstra said that it was a waste of his potential, and that he is a twenty-one year old Legend in the making, not a fall guy for WWE.com. He was interrupted abruptly by Mark Henry's theme, bringing out 'the World's Strongest Man' after spending the past nine months sidelined with a torn patella tendon. Henry got into the ring and told Kenny that RAW was his house now, and that he was about to make a man out of this cheerleader.
MATCH FOUR // Mark Henry def. Kenny Dykstra in 1:15 after the World's Strongest Slam. Dykstra got in several punches, but Mark absorbed most of his offense and destroyed Dykstra. Henry had the support of the crowd throughout.
- Vince McMahon and Armando Alejandro Estrada were seen concluding their conversation in the hallway, the Chairman telling Estrada that he felt good about this idea. McMahon told Estrada that he would see him tomorrow, which led Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler to speculate about what McMahon has in store for Bobby Lashley tomorrow on ECW on Sci-Fi.
- WWE Champion John Cena was seen in the locker room preparing for the champion vs champion main event against WWE Intercontinental Champion Umaga, when Shawn Michaels arrived. Shawn joked that Cena is getting used to being in the dog house with the boss. Cena joked about Vince McMahon's ribs and called the Chairman weak and easy business. Michaels told Cena not to underestimate the Chairman. Michaels then told Cena that he was interested in having one more match with the champ, to which Cena responded positively, telling HBK that after their last two classics, it would be a treat. Michaels wished Cena good luck against 'the Samoan Bulldozer', then left.
MATCH FIVE // WWE Champion John Cena def. WWE Intercontinental Champion Umaga (w/Armando Alejandro Estrada) by disqualification in 12:41 after the Great Khali attacked Cena. Estrada kept interfering, which led to Cena eventually punching Estrada off the apron. Umaga bumped the referee and introduced a steel chair, which backfired as Cena later hit Umaga with the chair. Cena had hit Umaga with an FU, when Shane McMahon came out to distract Cena. Khali came out behind Shane, and Khali and Cena immediately went at it in the middle of the ring. After the match, Khali applied a claw hold on Cena's skull, leaving Cena down and out in the ring. Shawn Michaels hit the ring to try and make the save, but Khali big booted Shawn, then left Michaels laying with a Tree Slam. Khali stood dominantly with the WWE Championship held high, whilst Shane stood beside him - 'the Punjabi Giant's message sent to John Cena.
OTHER NOTES:
- It was announced that next week on RAW there would be a four corner tag team elimination match between Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch, the World's Greatest Tag Team, Ric Flair and Carlito, and Cryme Tyme. The winners of that match will become number one contenders to the World Tag Team Championships, held by the Hardys.
