* Smackdown

- Booker T w/ Sharmell def. Joey Matthews w/ Melina
During the beginning of the match, Nitro & Jillian
accompany Matthews & Melina. Nitro tried to cheapshot
Booker, but the referee notice that and eject Nitro &
Jillian to backstage. Booker T had it win with the
Bookend, but Melina distracting the referee. Sharmell
pull Melina so she hit the apron. Booker then finished
Matthews with a Scissors Kick.

Next is "The Peep Show" with special guest Batista.
Christian said that he has no opponent at Summerslam,
so tonight he's challenging Batista for a match.
Batista only said few sentences like "Are you talking
to me ?" "You need attitude adjustment" and another
sentence about accepting the match, after that he
returns to backstage. Batista really need to improve
his mic skill.

- Animal & Heidenreich def. ??? & ???
Another squash match by Animal & Heidenreich using
Doomsday Device as usual. Animal has some problem when
he was preparing his opponent for Doomsday Device, but
eventually managed to lift it.

Theodore Long was confronted by Randy Orton. Orton is
asking for a match tonight and Long gives it. His
surprise opponent is someone who has ever fight with
Undertaker.

A video about Chris Benoit is aired, accompanied with
the song "One Thing" by Finger Eleven.

- Randy Orton VS Kamala w/ Kim Chee end up in no
contest.
Surprise, surprise! It's Kamala with his manager, Kim
Chee. Orton brought Kim Chee into the ring and then
RKO-ed him. Crowd pops for this. Kamala soon was also
hit by RKO, but suddenly the arena turns dark and
purple smoke appears throughout the ring. The same
video transforming the letters R K O into letters R I
P like last week appeared again. Undertaker is not
appearing, so the crowd booed for it and instead
cheered for Randy Orton.

Eddie Guerrero appear with some woman who looks like
an attorney. Eddie calls Rey and Rey shows up with his
wife and Dominic. Eddie tried to take Dominic to his
side, but he didn't want it. Eddie claims that he
always win, but Rey provoked him that he will never
win against Rey Mysterio. Rey provoked him even
further by claiming that someday when Eddie Guerrero
is put into Hall of Fame, it will be recorded that
Eddie Guerrero never beat Rey Mysterio. Rey then
challenge Eddie for one last match at Summerslam with
the winner getting the custody of Dominic. Eddie
refused at first, but then Rey called him
chicken-sh1t. Eddie then accept it. The attorney then
said that as for now, Dominic can't stay with both of
them and she will take care of Dominic for the time
being.

- Mexicools def. Scotty 2 Hotty & William Regal
Psicosis & Super Crazy are the one who battle.
Juventud is at ringside. They managed to isolate
Scotty, and when Scotty is trying to make a tag,
William Regal refused and walk back to the stage.
Psicosis finished Scotty with a Diving Leg Drop.

- Chris Benoit def. Simon Dean
Before the match, Simon provoked Benoit by telling him
that he can't chew anything with his gap tooth. Benoit
easily disposed Simon Dean by hitting the Triple
German Suplex followed by a Crossface in which Simon
quickly tapped out.

John Cena's music video "Right Now" is aired.

- Batista def. Christian by DQ
Batista was looking to finish Christian with a Batista
Bomb, but JBL suddenly interrupted and attack Batista,
making a DQ finish. Christian slowly retreat to
backstage while JBL took a steel chair and whacked
Batista in the back. JBL once again hit Batista in the
back with a steel chair then hit him in the head. JBL
then stand tall as Smackdown went off the air.

* Dark Match bonus

- Street Fight: Batista def. JBL
JBL told the referee to quickly ring the bell as he
want to start the Street Fight right away. JBL pin
Batista, but Batista kicks out. JBL then choked
Batista with his wrist band in the corner then hit
Batista with a steel steps. JBL proceed to hit Batista
with a steel chair, but Batista kick the chair.
Batista then finished JBL with Batista Bomb.

After the match ended, JBL is carried away by the
referee while Batista stayed for a while in the ring,
posing with his title belt. He then walk to the stage
and once again performing his entrance dance followed
with his pyro. He then clap his hands before finally
left the arena.

Overall, a decent show. But compared to when WWE
usually have a show at Columbus, it was dissapointing.
The arena is about 2/3 full. There's no T-shirt
shooting to the crowd like usual. The Dark Match bonus
was short and nothing special. After John Cena's music
video ended, the crowd cheered for it, unlike at RAW
where they booed it heavily. It must be because a lot
of crowd consist of younger kids and teenager.

Loudest Cheer :
1. Batista
2. Chris Benoit
3. Christian
4. Randy Orton
5. Hardcore Holly

Biggest Heat :
1. JBL
2. Eddie Guerrero
3. William Regal
4. Hank Anderson
5. Paul London, after he lost and complained about it.
