JR: It’ll be one hell of a main event I’m sure! We also have Mr Kennedy defending his Intercontinental Title against Jeff Hardy! Our colleagues also join us, Michael Cole and JBL!
Cole: Thanks JR, and tonight the Smackdown main event will be the new champ M.V.P defending his title against Rey Mysterio!
JBL: I can’t wait Michael! We have the future of the business going one on one against the best high flyer in history!
Cole: We also have Elijah Burke facing off against CM Punk for the fourth time in four weeks! But this time, the winner will be crowned the number one contender for the World Title!
JBL: it’s still even Michael! They’ve won one each and drawn one so far, tonight is about finding out who is the best! It’s going to steal the show! Teddy Long has done a good job for once with adding this extra incentive for them!
Cole: And we have the return of the Undertaker!
*** Ric Flair’s music hits to a chorus of “WOOOOOOOO’s!†He makes his way to the ring with a smile on his face ***
Cole: We will start with the WWE Tag Team Title match between the champs Deuce and Domino, taking on the team of Flair and Batista!

Cole: Batista and Flair are on quite a role, and they did beat Deuce and Domino on Friday Night in a non-title match. But Deuce and Domino are far more experienced as a team and Batista and Flair haven’t tagged together for quite a while.
JBL: You’re right, Michael. Deuce and Domino are one hell of a team, they remind me of the ol’ APA, they are just ground and pound! And although Batista and Flair have 18 World Titles between them, they aren’t in for an easy ride against the champs!

JR: Good evening once again, thank you for joining us here at Unforgiven. Next we have a Raw match, it will be Triple H going one on one against King Booker in a no disqualification match.
King: And it’s no secret that we don’t like King Booker. And with it being a no DQ match. Triple H can do whatever he wants to Booker.

*** King Booker’s music plays to massive heat. He makes his way to the ring but he is limping, and his injured leg is taped heavily just above the knee. ***
King: It looks like King Booker is still feeling the affects of the sledgehammer to the leg on Monday Night.
JR: Well who wouldn’t? But it is dangerous going into a match with and injured leg with an experienced wrestler like HHH.
King: Well I don’t know if HHH will be targeting it, he might just be in a brawling mood.

*** Kristal smiles but then realises they are on the air. ***
Kristal: Ladies and Gentlemen, MVP!
*** Heat ***
Kristal: MVP, tonight you face Rey Mysterio for the World Title. Do you still stand by your comments that Rey has no chance tonight?
MVP: Of course. I mean, just look at the size of him. He stands no chance against a franchise player like me! I’ll destroy him! All of Rey’s fans, instead of cheering him on, they should be encouraging him to forfeit the match for his own safety. Because he’s just not in the same level as me. Kristal, do you think he stands a chance, honey?
*** Rey Mysterio appears before she can answer. ***
