Smackdown comes from Houston, TX at the Toyota Center.

Show opened with 2 dark matches, first saw Chuck Polumbo defeat Funaki. Mediocre match, but it passed about 15 min. until Smackdown starts.

Second dark match saw Vladmir Koslov defeat Pit Bull. Boring match, but the crowd got into it with "U.S.A." chants.

JBL and Michael cole come out to a loud pop.

Pyro goes off as Smackdown is now underway. First match was a U.S. title match with Chris Benoit vs. Finlay. Benoit wins after Finlay looks under the ring for "Little Bastard". Surprisingly little bastard doesn't wasnt to come out. After several attempts by Finlay to pull him out, lights go out, and Boogieman comes out. Boogie man distracts Finlay as he carries "Little Bastrd" to the back and Benoit retains the title. Good opening match with lots of action.

Second match saw Paul London and Kendrick lose to Deuce and Domino in a non title match.

Batista was shown on the screen talking to Teddy Long. He says he wants a decision tonight from Taker on who he wants to fight at WM.

Third match saw Kennedy defeat Vito. Mostly Kennedy in this match, and after the victory he proceeded to choke Vito with the dress. The mic came down and he proceeded to talk trash.

After the match in the back Teddy Long tells Kennedy that his post match actions weren't necessary, and he's taking on the Undertaker next week for the title.

Next was a Diva bikini contest between Kristal, Ashley, and Jillian commentated by JBL.. Both Ashley and Kristal looked good, but when it came time for Jillian to strip down, she was wearing sweat shorts and a shirt. She told JBL her talent is singing, and started to horribly sing "Baby one more time". Jbl said it was horrible, and the fans cheared loudest for Ashley, the winner. After the decision, Jillian started trash talking, and Ashley and her started going at it.

Up next saw The Miz defeat Matt Hardy after an attack on Hardy by Joey Mercury when the ref was distracted.

King Booker and Sharmell make their way to the ring with a thrown and podium in it. Booker talks about how it's about damn time someone like him from Houston succeeds. He says the Rockets are no longer good (with Dikembe Mutombo and Luther Head in the audience), and he approaches ZZ Top who is also in the crowd and tells him to kiss his feet. Of course he doesn't, so King Booker goes back in the ring and Sharmell starts saying "All hail King Booker". Pyro goes off and the lights go out as Kane's music hits. Kane comes in the ring and beats down security. He then kicks down the thrown and podium, and starts beating on the former champ. Kane clears the ring, and does his thing with the pyro.

Up next Batista comes out and says he wants an answer. Cena makes a surprise appearance, and says it can be him or Batista. Undertaker comes out and says nothing. Shawn Michaels then hits the ring and gets in Takers face saying he wants to finish off what happaned at the Rumble. Vince comes out, and announces the main event at No Mercy will be Cena and Michaels vs. Taker and Batista. All men stare down as I think this is when it went off the air.

They quickly set up for ECW, and you all saw that live. After the camera's went off, Lashley left the ring, while Taker was still there, and Finlay, King Booker, M.V.P, and Kennedy hit the ring and started beating down Taker. Then Michales, Cena, and Batista hit the ring to start the 8 man tag. Best match of the night, hands down. Too bad it wasn't televised and only a in house exclusive. Win came when Cena FU'd M.V.P. Michaels also gave Kennedy some sweet chin music, while Taker did four "Old Schools" to each on the opposite team. After everyone left, Cena and Batista stayed in the ring and pumped up the crowd, trying to get us lowder than San Antone's Rumble and Dallas's Raw. He said everthing's bigger in TX and wanted some big noise. He then thanked us for coming out and said God Bless H-town. Him and Batista walked around the ring shaking hands. Good finish to a good event.
