Booker T got injured at a house show when the score was 3-1 to Booker. Booker told Long that he should be awarded the title, but Long said you would have to forfeit. Booker then said he would get a substitute and that would be Orton. Before he gave Orton the job, Orlando wanted to be the sub but Booker T didn't approve of it and Jordon got angry. Benoit won the next 2 matches by DQ and the finale would be played out on this edition of Smackdown. Jordon tried to yet again make Benoit the winner for pay back so Booker T wouldn't win the belt, and Benoit eventually lost and Booker won the belt because Orton won the match.
