short, Masters gets choke slammed. Then Chuck Palumbo comes out on his

Team titles with the next person who walked through the door. Matt Hardy
walks in. Next week on Smackdown, it?s Deuce & Domino vs. MVP & Matt Hardy
for the titles.
-Up next is MVP vs. Matt Hardy in a basketball challenge. They actually
shot this by the stage in front of the crowd. MVP comes out first and runs
his mouth. Amazingly, he nails his first shot, which was from a pretty good
distance. He brags. Then he proceeds to miss a couple dunks/lay-ups. Matt
Hardy comes out. He gets the ball first, and proceeds to take the ball and
hit MVP in the nose. He runs up and hits a lay-up. Hardys up 1-0. Then

-After the match, the Undertaker?s music hits and the lights go out. The
crowd goes crazy. A video pops up on the screen. The video eventually ends
up in Death Valley, where the druids are digging a hole. They uncover a
box. When they open it, a bunch of snakes crawl out and there was a small
Undertaker symbol.
6. Up next is a Diva Bikini Contest. It was between Victoria, Michelle
McCool, Torrie Wilson & Kristal. They were all smokin?. Kristal was the
hottest in my opinion though. Michael Cole was the M.C. and announced
that there was another contestant. South Carolina?s own, Mae Young. Mae
Young comes out and takes off here robe and does her stuff. Then she tries
to show her puppies. Torrie covers her up, Mae Young is announced as the
winner.
7. Main Event: Batista defeated Finlay via disqualification. The Great
Khali come out to watch. Khali gets up on the ring apron and he and Batista
start brawling. Batista actually gets the best of Khali this time. Show
ends with Khali backing up down the aisle with his head busted open.
After ECW went off the air, they had a dark match between Batista and The
Great Khali for the World Heavyweight Title. Match sucked really bad.
Finlay and Hornswoggle come down and cause the disqualification. Batista
gets the upper hand though and sends the crowd home happy.
-One of the ushers said the attendance was around 5,000. A big drop off
since the last time they were here for the Raw Family Reunion. ??s of the
upper level was tarped off, as well as the sections around the main cameras.
