In a dark match before ECW, Kendrick defeated Funaki. Kendrick came
out and introduced a new 2nd, a large man dressed in all white. I
have no idea who he was, but facially I thought he resembled the late
Bad News Allen. The 2nd distracted Funaki just long enough for
Kendrick to roll him up from behind for the pin.

Smackdown opened with Edge coming out for a promo. He said the
wedding was still off, which brought a roar of approval from the
crowd. He said he wants to prove at the Great American Bash that he
can become champ again without Vicki’s help. Curt Hawkins and Zack
Ryder wheel out Vicki Guerrero, who announced Edge would face the Big
Show in a no-DQ match in tonight’s main event.

Shelton Benjamin defeated Matt Hardy in a non-title match.

Backstage Hawkins and Ryder pledged their loyalty to Vicki and asked
for a rematch against Jesse & Festus.

MVP came to ringside for commentary during a match between Mr. Kennedy
and Domino. After Kennedy defeated Domino, MVP distracted Kennedy to
allow Umaga to attack Kennedy from behind, laying him out with the
thumb to the throat.

Backstage Chavo Guerrero with Bam Neely was talking to Edge. Chavo
said he and Edge would always be family, and he was going to go give
Vicki a piece of his mind.

Fit Finlay & Hornswoggle defeated Miz & John Morrison in a non-title
match. The midget got a ludicrous amount of offense in on the tag
champs.

Backstage Chavo played up to Vickie, calling Edge a liar, and said the
Guerreros have to stick together. Vickie said “Chavo, CUT THE CRAP!”
and put him in a match vs. HHH.

HHH defeated Chavo Guerrero in a non-title match. Chavo actually got
a little offense in here and there.

Natalya & Maryse defeated Michelle McCool & Cherry. After the match,
Natalya attacked McCool and gave her a snap suplex on the floor.

Jesse & Festus defeated Hawkins & Ryder via count out. Hawkins &
Ryder stood outside the ring purposely to get counted out. Then, when
the bell rang to end the match, and Festus went docile, they beat down
Jesse, then went after Festus. Jesse finally rang the bell to once
again energize Festus, and Hawkins & Ryder ran.

Vladimir Koslov defeated Stevie Richards with a headbutt to the back
of the neck. They finally gave Koslov entrance music.

Backstage all the members of La Familia were arguing when Vickie came
in and told Edge to get out there and take his beating by the Big Show
like a man.

Edge vs. Big Show started with Vickie watching from the stage, but
part way through the match, Hawkins & Ryder wheeled her down to
ringside. This was by far the best match on the show, with a lot of
brawling outside the ring, as well as the use of a kendo stick and
chairs. Late in the bout Edge tried for a conchairto on Show, but
from the mat Show suddenly grabbed Edge by the throat, stood up and
gave him a choke slam. Then Show decided to set up Edge for a
conchairto of his own, but right before he brought the chair down on
Edge’s head, Vickie screamed to stop the match. She got out of her
wheelchair and climbed into the ring to tend to Edge, telling him she
loves him, and next thing you know, they were making out. Edge than
asked her to marry him, she said yes, and he said they should do it
next week. All of La Familia came out to celebrate as the show ended.
