Survivor Series - November 22, 2009 - Washington D.C.

It’s that time of the year again, ladies and gents, where the leaves change color, the weather becomes chillier, the smell of turkey fills the air and teams are formed to see who will survive and be considered the best.

Yes, my fellow wrestling fanatics, it is time for WWE’s fourth biggest event of the year; it is time for the Survivor Series.

This survival of the fittest PPV began on Thanksgiving night in 1987. It was created, according to WWE’s Home Video WWF Best of Survivor Series 1987-1997, because of the “overwhelming world wide fan support”. Now, a full 22 years later, the Survivor Series hasn’t only become synonymous with its traditional tag team elimination matches, but also where the Undertaker, Goldust and the Elimination Chamber were born (1990, 1995 and 2002, respectively). Also, this is where the infamous “Montreal Screwjob” occurred back in 1997.

So much history has been created at the Survivor Series and two weeks ago was no different. Let’s get started reviewing all of it shall we.

Team Miz vs. Team Morrison in a Traditional Tag Team Elimination match:

Honestly, there wasn’t any build for this match what so ever, not even between the team captains. Everybody had their individual feuds (i.e. Morrison vs. Ziggler; Drew McIntrye vs. Finlay) that I’m not going to go over because it’ll be too confusing and it wasn’t like they were building up to the PPV; it was just a part of their storylines. The only real mentioning of this match was on Raw on Nov. 9 when Josh Mathews interviewed Miz asking him about it. Miz replied saying that he knows that his team will beat them because he already beat Morrison once at Bragging Rights (he was, actually, the only Raw Superstar to win). He also stated that his team consists of wrestling’s most elite men.

Um…really? Most elite? Wow…Miz is actually saying something nice about somebody, but the problem is…it’s not true! Team Miz consists of Miz, Jack Swagger, Sheamus, Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler. Then there’s Team Morrison that consists of John Morrison, Shelton Benjamin, Evan Bourne, Matt Hardy and Finlay. Who’s team has wrestling’s most elite men? Definitely not Miz's team! The only good wrestlers on his team are Sheamus and Drew so he’s, pretty much, screwed. That’s why I believe Team Morrison is going to be the winners of this traditional Survivor Series tag team elimination match.

In the end, Team Miz wins when “The Celtic Warrior” Sheamus pinned “The Friday Night Delight” John Morrison. Ouch! Well at least the two who I said were the best were the ones who survived the match along with their captain. :)

Rey Mysterio vs. Batista:

This is the one match I think everybody has been waiting to see for quite sometime. The massive brutality of Batista vs. the innovative acrobatics of Mysterio; it screams match of the year. Even though there were times (specifically their segment on the Oct. 30 Smackdown) I thought this was more of a lover spat than a fight between friends, it was still very intense and it made you believe what was happening was real. Something that happens once in a blue moon.

Their feud, as you all know, began at Bragging Rights when Batista attacked Rey after their Fatal 4 Way match against CM Punk and Undertaker for the World Heavyweight Championship. On Smackdown that week (Oct. 30) Rey came out asking for an explanation from him. When Dave came out he talked down to him saying that he doesn’t know how bad it could get for him. He also asked him who the hell he thinks he is calling him out and ended with saying that he’ll be the bigger man giving him the chance to walk away, but Rey didn’t. He wanted answers. He wanted to straighten things out between them. He asked Dave, “What? You didn’t want me to try in the Fatal 4 Way?”

He then said he’s willing to let bygones be bygones because that’s how much he treasured their friendship. He saw Dave as his big brother and looked up to him. He continued with the fact that brothers fight all the time, but what they have will out last their careers (Now can you see why I was thinking this was more of a lover spat?) and when they retire from the ring they’ll still be family. As Rey said all of this Batista just stared at him with no emotion at all. That’s when he asked him what he was thinking. However, instead of Batista giving him a straight answer, he asked him what was on his mind and then gave him his answers of what Rey was thinking. He said he’s thinking how easily it was for Dave to hurt him on Sunday, what he was going to do now that “Big Dave” isn’t protecting him anymore, that he shouldn’t have stabbed him in the back and what Dave is going to do to him if he didn’t get out of the ring.

Mysterio responded that if he knew this would’ve happened he wouldn’t have ever accepted the match. It just seemed like Batista wasn’t listening, though, ‘cause all he said was he’ll give him one more chance to get out of the ring. After a moment of pondering, Rey decided not to leave and stood his ground. He came out to straighten things out between them and he wouldn't leave until he did. That’s when he brought up everything they’ve been through together from being tag team champions to their friendship with Eddie. After Rey said that Batista coldly retorted, “Eddie’s dead.” That, literally, sent a chill up my spine. Then Dave said he wasn’t thinking about Eddie, what they (him and Rey) have been through, or Mysterio…he’s just thinking about himself.

Oh my gosh that segment was so intense and, like I said before, it felt so real. Trust me when I say the other segments between them and interviews are no different. The next week (Nov. 6) on Smackdown Josh Mathews interviewed Rey asking him how he felt about everything that has occurred over the past couple of weeks. Rey replied, “Could you imagine one of your family members walking out on you over something so small? Well, that’s how I feel.”

Then Josh asked him if he had a message for Batista with their match being made official for Survivor Series. He responded saying since David won’t listen to logic and decided to throw away their friendship and the spirit of Eddie Guerrero he’s going to beat out whatever has gotten into him and show him a side of Rey that he never thought existed.

Later on that night Josh interviewed Batista asking him why all the attacks on Rey and Matt Hardy (since Matt tried talking some sense into Dave using his fight with Jeff as an example, he decided to attack him for putting his nose into his business). He responded saying he’s not in the WWE to make friends, but to be the World Heavyweight Champion and Mysterio stopped him from doing that. With Matt, he just needs to mind his own business. He ended saying that his point is if he has to hurt Rey, Matt or anyone else to become champion, he will.

On the Nov. 13 Smackdown, Rey and Dave came out to do the contract signing for their match. Batista came out holding a black folder that, we later found out, contained a “hold harmless agreement”, which he wanted Rey to sign. It stated that he won’t be held accountable for what he would do to Rey at Survivor Series. At first Rey wouldn’t sign it, which, of course, angered Dave. He said he was exactly what he thought he was…“a coward hiding behind a goofy mask.”

He continued saying he was suppose to be his friend, but he cost him the title. He threatened that he either sign it or he'll snap his neck like a twig (Holy crap!!). With that in mind, Rey signed the agreement. After he did he called Dave a bully. He said that he’s just bullying him, but it will be David who will be embarrassed at Survivor Series and not him. He then pushes that table over onto him and runs out the ring. By the way…seeing Batista’s legs waving around in the air was HILARIOUS!! Every time I picture that scene I start laughing. I mean all you see are these huge, tree trunk like legs waving around as he falls over!! God I love this business!! :)

The next week (Nov. 20) Batista faced off against Matt and won. After the match Josh tried to interview him, but he stopped him and said that Rey made three mistakes: he cost him the title, he signed the “hold harmless agreeement” and he embarrassed him. He promised that Rey will never embarrass him again because he will punish him at Survivor Series with no mercy, no regrets and no remorse.

Later that night Rey faced off against Tyson Kidd with Batista at ringside. Towards the end, Dave decided to get up and throw Tyson into the barricade to cost Rey the match. A moment later, Rey attacked Dave who then chased him into the ring, but Mysterio was too quick and got away.

I believe Rey is going to win because he’s a major underdog going into this and usually the underdog comes out on top; especially since Rey has gotten the upper hand on Batista and has embarrassed him for two weeks straight.

In the end, Batista wins because of referee stoppage after Rey received three Batista Bombs in a row and was hurting. However, I was truly disappointed with this match. The way they built the match up you thought this was going to be a brutal match between them as they went back and forth beating each other to a pulp, but that didn’t happen. It only lasted maybe 10 minutes and it was lack luster. WTF WWE!!! You’re so much better than building and building and building only to produce a huge flop!! Pick up the slack guys!!

Team Orton vs. Team Kofi in a Traditional Tag Team Elimination match:

Unlike Team Miz vs. Team Morrison, there was a tremendous build to this match. The feud between Kofi and Orton technically began at Bragging Rights when Kofi chased out Legacy from the ring during Orton’s match with Cena. However, it actually began the night after the PPV (Oct. 26) when, following his defeat over Chris Jericho, Kofi was walking up the ramp and Orton attacked him from behind throwing him off the stage. Later that night after Legacy defeated MVP and Mark Henry, Orton came out saying that Bush and Lagano (Kyle Bush and Joey Lagano from Nascar racing, who were the guest General Managers that night. By the way...they sucked!) are thinking about who should be the No. 1 contender for the WWE Championsip knowing he won’t be it because of the terms of his match at Bragging Rights. However, he’ll do anything and everything in his power to get the title back.

Then we see Kofi backstage with Orton’s Nascar (a little present from Legacy). After some talking he decided to destroy it by keying it, hitting it with a crowbar and pouring paint on it. Orton is peeved by this, but I don’t know if you can really tell since Orton doesn’t know how to show any emotion except for when he goes completely insane.

The next week on Raw (Nov. 2) Kofi was interviewed by Josh. He asked him if he regretted what he did last week. Kofi replied that he doesn't regret it at all. He then calls Orton a bully, blaming everyone else for his problems. Right on the button! Later on he faced off against Orton, but Legacy came out and attacked him. As they surrounded him the Osbournes (Yes, “The Prince of Darkness” along with his awesome wife were the guest General Managers and I think they did a pretty good job) showed up and decided to make a six man tag match with Orton and Legacy going against Kofi and his partners…MVP and Mark Henry. Kofi, MVP, and Henry won, by the way.

So then on the Nov. 9 Raw, MVP brought back the VIP Lounge with Henry and their guest host was, you guessed, Kofi Kingston. He said that Team Orton won’t know what’ll hit them. That’s when Orton and his cronies (Legacy) came out calling them a bunch of “low-class street thugs”. Come on Randy don’t bring up MVP’s past in front of everybody! That’s just rude! He said that they (him and Legacy) are the ones who belong in VIP and not them; they belong in the hood and they should go back to where they belong. After all of that, Henry went against him with Orton prevailing. However, it’s what happened after the match that’s worth noting. Afterwards, Orton hit Kofi and ran away. Ok, so it wasn’t that huge, but I still have to mention it. Haha!!

Lastly, on the Raw before Survivor Series (Nov. 16) the Hot Rod himself, Mr. "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, was suppose to go against Vince when Orton came out and attacked him. He was about to give him a punt to his head when Kofi ran out to and attacked Orton. They brawled all over the ringside area going into the crowd where one the most awesome maneuvers was performed. At one point, Kofi had Orton on a table ready to give him his Boom Boom Legdrop from the guardrail when the officials stopped him. They pulled him down trying to get him to go to the backstage area, but he pushed them away and performed the move. IT WAS BRUTAL!! :)

I really don’t have a winner for this one. I’m actually torn! I mean it could be Team Orton, which consists of Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, Ted DiBiase, William Regal and CM Punk, because…well…look at the team. This team is truly filled with great competitors. But so is Team Kofi, which consists of Kofi Kingston, MVP, Mark Henry, Christian and R-Truth. I’m truly torn and I’m not going to pick a winner; just going to go with the flow on this one.

In the end, Team Kofi won when Kofi hit a Trouble in Paradise out of nowhere onto Orton. Nice!! I like the fact that Kofi is starting to get a huge build off of Orton. He totally deserves it. Orton is a big star on Raw and to be feuding with him and getting the upper hand over him is huge. GO KOFI!! Hopefully he’ll be wearing the WWE Championship around his chiseled abs soon.

Chris Jericho vs. Big Show vs. Undertaker for the World Heavyweight Championship in a Triple Threat Match:

This was actually very interesting. I think I would’ve liked to have seen just Jericho vs. 'Taker for the title since it would’ve been the first time they faced each other. We wouldn’t know what to expect and I know they would’ve put on an amazing show. Jericho is definitely one of the best in the business and so is 'Taker, who is still giving us 110% after his hip surgery. However, WWE thought differently deciding to add Big Show to the mix. Like we haven’t seen Show vs. 'Taker a hundred times.

It all started, again, the night after Bragging Rights when Jerishow came out. Jericho was wielding the Bragging Rights trophy as if it was the Stanley Cup. Show grabbed a mic and said that it doesn’t matter what he did last night he’s “still a proud member of Raw”. But Jericho stopped him saying he didn’t have to explain himself to, what does he usually call us, the gelatinous parasites because he understands why he did it. He’s very loyal and saw that their partnership was more important than Raw being known as the better show. Rrriigghhtt!

Jericho was incessantly talking while Show tried getting his two cents in, but he couldn’t with Jericho constantly cutting him off. Finally, Show stopped him and said he did it for himself since the only thing that is most important to him is his career. He announced that he struck a deal with Teddy Long where if he helped Smackdown win the PPV he would get a title shot at Survivor Series against the Undertaker. Jericho did not appreciate him going behind his back, which made them bicker back and forth like an old married couple until Bush and Lagano came out in their Nascar cars.

So on that week’s Smackdown (Oct. 30) while Teddy Long was in the ring talking about their win at Bragging Rights, Jericho came out saying he’s the crown jewel and the face of Smackdown so he should be the No. 1 contender for the World Heavyweight Championship. That’s when Kane came out saying he had as much to do with winning at the PPV then Jericho so he should be the one facing 'Taker for the title. Jericho retorted saying he was the one who got his hand raised; he’s the true hero of Smackdown. Then he tells Kane to leave the ring since HE’S the captain. Well, that was the wrong thing to say to the Big Red Machine since he grabbed Jericho to perform the chokeslam. Luckily, Teddy stopped him. Wow...and I thought you were smart, Jericho!

Teddy continued saying that even though 'Taker already has a match for Survivor Series with the contract all done and signed he could follow Raw and make it a Triple Threat Match. Very creative, Teddy…NOT!! So he made Kane vs. Jericho for that night with the winner joining 'Taker and Show at Survivor Series for the World Heavyweight Championship. Obviously, in the end, Jericho won.

The next week on Smackdown (Nov. 6) 'Taker came out talking about the fact that he was born at Survivor Series with year after year perishing those who oppose him, but year after year they come back for one thing…the World Heavyweight Championship. He mentioned how Show betrayed an entire team to fight for the gold, but “what he won was the opportunity to be terminated by the hand of the Deadman.”

He continued, “And that brings me to Chris Jericho. There are few things in this world that bring joy to my dark heart. One is being able to fight alongside my brother, Kane. The second thing is fighting against my brother, Kane. But last week, Chris Jericho took that opportunity away from me. So at Survivor Series, Chris Jericho’s fate, health, and soul will be mine.”

Oh wait folks there’s more. After those remarks, Jericho came out saying that finally after ten years it will be the two biggest stars in WWE history facing off against each other (with Show). However, he said he’s more of a phenom than 'Taker since Webster defines phenom as “an exceptional, unusual, and abnormal person”. He went on to describe how he’s all these things, which was utterly brillant. I mean he undoubtedly proved he was a true phenom. He said he’s exceptional because he’s exceptionally talented with accolades that are second to none. He’s unusual because he’s “the best in the world at what he does”. Lastly, he’s abnormal because he’s bold and brave enough to stand up for what he believes in and tells the truth.

He then talked about how 'Taker has been brainwashing us, the gelatinous parasites, for the past 20 years. He’s not a deadman, but just a man. Ouch! He’s on the roll of his career and there’s nothing that’ll stop him, which means at Survivor Series he will beat 'Taker (and Show) and become World Heavyweight Champion for the sixth time. He said that he’s not afraid of him because he’s just a plain ol’ man. Ok are we forgetting the fact that the seven foot tall, close to 500 lb. Big Show is in this match, too.

Then Jericho gets is his face calling himself the true phenom and asking 'Taker if he understood calling him, one more time, a man. That’s when 'Taker grabbed him for a chokeslam, but he was able to kick out of it to only run into a big boot. Seriously, Jericho, I really thought you were smarter than that! DON’T MESS WITH THE DEADMAN!!

Hey, we can, finally, bring Show into this picture for a bit because on the Nov. 9 Raw, Jerishow came out to confront Ricky Hatton (a boxer from the very beautiful England) when they, actually, verbally fought back and forth as Hatton just sat back taking it all in. We also see him for a little bit on Smackdown that week (Nov. 13) after Jericho’s match with 'Taker, but first I just want to briefly go over Jericho’s interview with Josh. He asked him if he was at all concerned about facing 'Taker later on that night and Jericho just scoffed at that question. He said 'Taker is a regular man who can be beaten. He’s the best in the world at what he does (God, Chris, we know this already! You announce it literally every week at least twice! WE GET IT!!) and tonight a man won’t beat him and at Survivor Series a man nor a giant will stop him from becoming the champion.

Well “a man” did beat him that night since he tapped out to 'Taker’s Hell’s Gate submission. However, after the match Show came out and they both attacked him. At one point Jericho had him in the Walls of Jericho while Show had him in the Colossal Clutch when Kane came out to save his brother. We then see Vince backstage as he’s calling Teddy Long and makes Brothers of Destruction vs. Jerishow for the Nov. 20 Smackdown. YES!! THE RETURN OF BOD!! Even if it is one night only it’s still freakin’ awesome!!!

So before their huge match with BOD, we see Jericho and Show talking backstage. Jericho said to him they need to be on the same page or the Brothers of Destruction will destroy of them. Show replied that they should have their minds on their present, but he has his on the future thinking about Survivor Series and winning the title. Jericho retorted that that’s the sort of selfishness that will bring them down. Show said that it sounds like he’s scared, which he says he isn’t, but Show tells him not to worry about tonight since he’s been tag champs with both men and knows how they work. However, at Survivor Series he will knock out Jericho to win the title. Jericho replied that he’s not intimidated by either man. Show went to leave, but when he did he shut the lights off on Jericho who flipped out. Show turned on the lights laughing. Jericho stared at him like he was ready to kill him.

The main event came and went ending in a No Contest because the referee lost control of the match. However, if you thought they would stop fighting when they heard the bell ring you were dead wrong. 'Taker punched Jericho and then Kane gave him a chokeslam. Show then dragged Kane to the outside and knocked him out with his huge right hook. He went into the ring to attack 'Taker, who tried to chokeslam him, but to no avvail. Instead Show chokeslams him. Then Show went to help his partner up, but Jericho hit the Codebreaker on him, ran out of the ring, grabbed the World Heavyweight Championship, ran up the ramp and screamed that the title is his as he raised it above his head.

With this match I know 'Taker is going to retain because, like I said in previous entries, this is probably his last reign so they’ll make it a long and memorable one for the Deadman. I also think, not directly after the PPV, but sometime down the line, that the team of Jericho and Show will be ending and they will be going their separate ways. I think that’ll be good though because I like Jericho more as a singles competitor then in a tag team. Even though he deserves to have the title again he needs to get away from Show, be on his own for a little bit and then go after the title.

In the end, 'Taker did retain when Show tapped to his Hell’s Gate submission. I apologize for reverting back to the days of Goldberg when he was in WCW, but the question now for 'Taker is “Who’s next?”.

Team Michelle vs. Team Mickie in a Traditional Tag Team Elimination match:

CRAP! Another Divas match. yea. I will not be happy about these matches until I see Natalya in a match for the Women’s Championship. Not the Diva’s Championship because that’s a total joke, but the coveted Women’s Championship. When she’s in any match that’s when you’ll maybe get something nice out of me about the Divas. Until then I’m going to rip these girls a new one. You’ve heard my reasons why so I’m not going to explain myself again, but if you would like to talk to me about it giving me your reasons why you either agree or disagree with me you’re more than welcome to send me an e-mail and I would love to talk to you guys about this or anything else about wrestling in general.

Anyway, this seemed to all start when Mickie went over to Smackdown in the beginning of October. She’s really the only babyface there except for Maria, who’s been missing (where the hell she went to I don’t know, but with her I do care because I actually like Maria. She might not be the best, but I like her effort), which I think is really dumb to have two babyfaces and five heels. I mean I love Smackdown, but they definitely are stupid when it comes to the Divas.

Sorry for all the ranting :).

Ok so back to how this match came to be. On the Oct. 30 Smackdown they had a Divas Halloween Contest with Mickie James winning as Electra. Michelle, Layla, and Natalya didn’t take lightly to that since they attacked her after she won. The next week on Smackdown (Nov. 6) it was announced that Team Mickie (consisting of Mickie James, Gail Kim, Eve, Kelly Kelly, and Melina) would be going against Team Michelle (consisting of Michelle McCool, Jillian, Beth Phoenix, Layla, and Alicia Fox) at Survivor Series. Later on we see Mickie walking backstage when she's approached by Michelle and Layla who tell her that they don’t like her and she should leave. She replied with she’s not going anywhere and after her team wins she’ll go after Michelle’s title.

The next week on Smackdown (Nov. 13) as Mickie was about to head out to the ring to face her opponent, Natalya, she's confronted by Layla. She said she was surprised that Mickie was still on Smackdown and advised her to leave. Mickie said she’s surprised she’s still talking (Good come back, Mickie…NOT!!) and called her Scary Spice. They bicker back and forth as Michelle sneaks into Mickie’s locker room. Then she had her match against Natalya where she lost when she tapped out to the Sharpshooter. (GO NATTIE!!). However, she was distracted when Michelle and Layla came out with a pair of her pants and decided to cut them up (Really mature girls! How old are we? 12...13?).

Then on Raw (Nov. 16) Melina went against Alicia Fox for the Divas Championship in a Lumberjill Match where the lumberjills were members of Team Mickie and Team Michelle. Melina did retain her title, but after the match there was an all out brawl with Team Mickie standing tall in the middle of the ring. Is this a sign of things to come? Maybe.

Lastly, on Smackdown that week (Nov. 20) Mickie went against Layla and won, but after the match Layla grabbed a mic and told her to look up at the Titan Tron and watch a video Michelle made especially for her. We see Michelle at a farm with a pig that had Mickie’s face superimposed on it as Michelle called it Piggy James. She started singing “Old McDonald” and then segment ended with the Looney Tunes “That’s all Folks” with Mickie as Porky Pig. Ouch! That’s definitely a low blow! We’re sent back to the ring where Mickie is crying.

I think Team Mickie is going to win this one. Just look at Team Michelle. The only good competitor on her team is Beth Phoenix. She’s totally screwed.

In the end, Team Mickie won when Melina pinned Michelle McCool. The two survivors for Team Mickie were Mickie and Melina.

And last, but certainly not least.

Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels vs. John Cena for the WWE Championship:

Now is it me or did it seem like it was more of a feud between DX and Hornswoggle for copyright infringement then DX and Cena for the WWE Championship. I mean it was unique how they built up this match and, I guess, a little creative, but I would’ve liked to have seen more DX and Cena then DX and Hornswoggle. What they did with them was more of a comedy act then tearing out each other’s throats like Jericho, Show and 'Taker did.

This is all started when Bush and Lagano announced on Raw (Oct. 26) that the new No. 1 contenders for the WWE Championship were Shawn and Hunter. The next week on Raw (Nov. 2) we see DX backstage talking to a hanging Hornswoggle (they were hanging him by his shirt just to clarify! LOL!!) telling him he needs to stop infringing on them. After some time Cena came in and saved him warning them of the dangers of hanging a leprechan, but he also reminded them of Survivor Series. Hunter said he’s really not sweating it since he beat him two weeks ago and Shawn has beaten him in England. Cena screams out, “I beat you, you beat him, he beats you, we all beat each other.” I wasn’t thinking that sounded wrong until they showed the Bella Twins walking away from them grossed out. And they're suppose to be family-friendly?

Hunter continued saying that DX has a mathematical probability of walking out with the title, but Cena reminded them that it’s a Triple Threat match, which means they could beat each other up (meaning Hunter and Shawn). Later that night, Cena had a match against Jericho and Show in a Triple Threat match with DX at commentary. Jericho won, but after the match Jerishow continued to attack Cena. DX ran in to, actually, help him, but Shawn received a massive right hand from Show and Hunter received the Codebreaker from Jericho.

The next week on Raw (Nov. 9) we see Cena talking to Hornswoggle in his locker room telling him he needs to stop wearing all the DX merch. Then he heard them coming and told him to hide. They came in yelling at him for hiding Hornswoggle. Shawn even chopped Cena across the chest, which was, in fact, pretty funny, for not telling them where he was. Cena turned around and told them they should maybe be focusing on their tag match later on that night and their Triple Threat match at Survivor Series reminding them that it is every man for himself. Hunter said they get it, but Cena needs to get that it’ll be one of them walking out with the title. Then they told him to bring out Hornswoggle, which he does who was decked out in Cena merch.

Lastly, on Raw on Nov. 16, DX came out towards the middle of the show to talk about Survivor Series. Hunter said they’ll be on the same page and will remain a unit since their goal is to bring the title into DX. Later on, we see Cena backstage talking about his match at the PPV. He asked himself how can one man face off against two future Hall of Famers. Then he realized, thanks to some help from the WWE crew, that it’s a Triple Threat not a Handicap. Wait…so the man who’s been reminding his opponents this entire time that they’re in a Triple Threat Match forgot he was in it?!? Are you serious?!? Anyway, he pointed out that they’ll have to make a choice and he hopes that they do stay friends afterwards because they’ll need a shoulder to cry on when they realize that the champ is still here.

Finally, we have the HUGE main event that night with Jerishow going against DX and Cena and his partner…the Undertaker. Cena and 'Taker won when Cena hit the Attitude Adjustment on Hunter, but after the match 'Taker gave Cena a Tombstone Piledriver. Is this another sign of things to come? Hopefully.

Even though I really want Shawn to win that way he can have his last reign as champion, I think Cena is going to retain. I don’t know about DX splitting, though. That’s really hard to say right now because they’re really tight and I don’t think they’re going to let a match split them up, but who knows.

In the end, Cena did retain. Darn it! But I loved how they began the match with Shawn giving his Sweet Chin Music to Hunter. It was awesome!!

Before I end this there's one thing I want to address really quickly. My one really close friend, Mike Tedesco, has his own column that I'm sure most of you know about, but if you don't you should really check it out. If I ever miss a Smackdown, which recently I have been doing a lot I'll admit it, I always check out his column because he gives you a complete overview of what happened on the show. He has also promoted my blog to help me get a bigger fan base so now I'm going to do the same for him, even though he really doesn't need it because his fan base is already huge. :) So make sure every Saturday after Smackdown to check out wrestleview.com and look for the Smackdown recap done by my best friend, my brother, Mike Tedesco. Thank you so much bro for all your help and support!! You're the best!!

Thank you very much for reading. I hope you guys enjoyed. If you would like to send me a comment, ask me any questions, or just want to chat about wrestling please don't hesitate to e-mail me at wrestlingchick19@gmail.com.

Much love and "Have a nice day!".
