THE Brian Kendrick's Biceps
Guest
Scenes of last week’s main event play, with HBK having his hand raised to celebrate him becoming the Number One Contender to the World Heavyweight Championship.
Rise Up plays, and the SmackDown! opening video is shown.
The camera goes to ringside, and we see Michael Cole and Mick Foley.
Michael Cole: “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Friday Night SmackDown! We are live here from Tulsa, Oklahoma, and we have a huge show tonight.”
Mick Foley: “We have some huge matches, as well as finding out what Vickie Guerrero has in store for Shawn Michaels, after he became the Number One Contender for Edge’s World Heavyweight Championship.”
Michael Cole: “All that, and much more live tonight.”
Metalingus plays, and Edge walks out with the World Heavyweight Championship over his shoulder, followed by Vickie Guerrero, getting rolled down to the ring by Ryder and Hawkins. All four get into the ring.
Edge: “Cut the music.”
Crowd boos.
Edge: “Shut the hell up, I don’t need your crap right now.”
Crowd boos even louder.
Edge: “Last week was an absolute travesty. Last week was a fluke. Last week was nothing! Shawn, you’ve been walking around, bragging all week about how you are the Number One Contender. Well Shawn, there is a big, big difference between being Number One Contender and being Champion. Ask Batista about that.”
Crowd boos.
Edge: “I don’t care that you are Number One Contender. I don’t care who it is. It doesn’t make a difference. Because Shawn, no one on the SmackDown! roster, you included, will ever be able to defeat me for my World Heavyweight Championship. You and these losers here in Tulsa can keep dreaming, but it is not going to happen!”
Crowd boos.
Edge: “Did I ask for your opinion?”
Crowd boos even louder.
Edge: “You know what? It doesn’t matter what you people think. All you are doing is showing jealousy. Jealous that I have this World Heavyweight Championship, and jealous that I have found my true love.”
Edge smiles at Vickie.
Vickie Guerrero: “That’s right baby.”
Crowd boos in disgust.
Vickie Guerrero: “Now as far as reports about Shawn being punished tonight, they are not true. Shawn will not be punished. Rather, he will be tested. Shawn defeated four men last week. Well this week, let’s see if he can defeat four at the same time. Tonight Shawn, you will face Big Daddy V, Curt Hawkins, Zach Ryder and Edge in a four on one handicap match.”
Crowd boos, and Break It Down suddenly plays, as DX come down the ramp, Shawn Michaels at the front.
Shawn Michaels: “So here we are, and we’ve stacked the deck yet again. Vickie, I’m starting to think you don’t like me. But that doesn’t matter, you can stack the deck again, just like last week, and I will show you why I am the Showstopper.”
Edge: “Very cute Shawn, but no, it isn’t going to happen. Your show is going to be stopped, tonight!”
Shawn Michaels: “Is that so?”
Michaels and Edge go face to face.
Vickie Guerrero: “Excuse me! That isn’t happening. Touch him Shawn, and I’ll strip you of the Number One Contendership!”
Crowd boos.
Vickie Guerrero: “Now since you decided to bring your buddies out here tonight, I have made a decision. All members of DX are barred from ringside for tonight’s main event. If any come down, Shawn, you will be stripped of the World Heavyweight Championship shot. Now get out of my ring.”
Crowd boos, as DX slowly leaves the ring.
Michael Cole: “Vickie Guerrero is trying to have Shawn Michaels destroyed.”
Mick Foley: “Yeah, Vickie is protecting Edge here, and Shawn is in trouble tonight.”
Michael Cole: “We now head backstage to Josh Matthews.”
Josh Matthews is shown next to John Morrison, which causes the crowd to boo.
Josh Matthews: “John Morrison, in a few moments Mr Kennedy faces a man of your choosing. My question is, who is that man?”
