Smackdown:

*Smackdown General Manager Teddy Long came out to announce the main event for Summerslam when JBL came to the ring and said that his contract stipulates he gets a rematch with Batista and that makes him the number one contender, not the Undertaker. Long announces JBL vs. Undertaker for later tonight with the winner being the number one contender to Batista’s WWE World championship.

*Chris Benoit & Booker T defeated WWE United States champion Orlando Jordan & Christian when Benoit forced Jordan to tap out to the Crippler Crossface. Christian had the chance to save Jordan but instead walked out.

*Backstage Road Warrior Animal told Heidenreich it was time for the “next step” and began shaving his hair into a mohawk.

*WWE World Tag Team champions Road Warrior Animal & Heidenreich defeated Chris Hamrick & Chuck Tealy (name here may be wrong).

*Backstage, MNM announced they had hired a publicist (it was WWE developmental diva Jillian Hall). The publicist announced Melina vs. Torrie Wilson for later tonight.

*Rey Mysterio came out with his son Dominic. Eddie Guerrero came out and said that even though he promised not to reveal the secret, he lied. He reveals that he, not Rey is Dominic’s father. Dominic hops the railing and runs away through the crowd, with Rey chasing him. Eddie says that back when he and his wife were separated, he “got a sl** pregnant” with Dominic, and he “out of the goodness of his heart” allowed Rey and his wife to adopt him because they couldn’t have children. They played it off like more would be revealed next week.

*Melina (with Jilliam Hall) pinned Torrie Wilson (with Candice Michelle) with her feet on the ropes.

*Backstage, The Mexicools are mistaken to be concession workers.

*William Regal vs. Scotty Too Hotty never took place as The Mexicools came out carrying concession items and attacked them both. Psicosis shoved the referee as well.

*JBL pinned The Undertaker to become the number one contender to the WWE World championship after Randy Orton hit Taker with an RKO.

Eh, more boring, predictable television from the WWE. They were going well, and now a fortnight of ordinary programming.

Predictable at best

You did say that you were sure we would see a JBL vs Taker vs Batista match. So I guess it wasn't that predictable.....

Taker is'nt a main eventer anymore, Smackdown needs Lesnar

I said it was likely. It would have been a far more logical choice, given that Vince was fuming at Batista following the dud that was the JBL vs. Batista match at GAB. Really, what was the point of Undertaker even wrestling a #1 contender's match if he just loses the status the next night?

Well really it wasn't the most logical choice because Orton had to be on the card somewhere. It had to be either verse Undertaker or Batista, and if they were both in the same match then they would of been forced to delay Orton’s return further.

The point of Undertaker wrestling in the #1 Contenders match was to push Muhammad Hassans character, and a few weeks after the Match had been announced we found out that Hassans character would be dropped, but the WWE still had to go along with the match because of all the Promoting they had done. They obviously weren’t keen on the idea to have Undertaker vs. Batista at Summerslam, so the only way they could get rid of the Undertakers number one contender spot was to have him lose to JBL. Not only did it get rid of that, it also ignited the feud between Orton and Taker and increased the heel popularity for Orton.

Uh... fatal four way?

Two faces and two heels. Would give Orton a far more illustrious return as well.

Fact is that a Orton vs Undertaker Wrestlemania re-match is a match that most people wanted to see again. The first encounter they put on was one of the best that night (Behind HBK vs Angle and possibly the Ladder match) and Taker also showed that he can work well with Orton. If the match were a fatal four way Orton would have to carry the whole match, which not even the great Kurt Angle could do let alone Randy Orton.
