SmackDown Recap
Last nights SmackDown actually left an impression for once and went up a notch in my book. The writers of the show have been shifted in recent weeks and although I usually don’t follow the writers all that close whoever is behind to new SmackDown episodes started off pretty good.
Batista took on Gregory Helms in a non-title match with Batista coming out on top after hitting the Batista bomb. Later in the night Mr. Kennedy took to the mic to defend his skills and reiterate that he will win at the Rumble this weekend. Batista came to the ring to confront the young phenom and as a heated exchange ensued the arena darkened and Undertaker appeared. He attempted to kick Kennedy from behind but the superstar moved out of the way and the boot hit Batista instead.
WWE has been hyping a Batista/Undertaker feud in recent weeks and this really put the icing on the cake. I would not at all be surprised to see Undertaker win the Rumble to set up a match with Batista for the title at Wrestlemania in a few months.
Each of the competitors in the six man over the top challenge had a singles match on the episode as well. Chris Benoit took on The Miz with Benoit coming out on top after Miz tapped to the crossface. King Booker and Finlay’s contest ended in a no contest after the referee was knocked out leading to a double DQ. Kana and MVP met in their first rematch since their Inferno match at Armageddon. The match ended in a no contest after MVP tried to light Kane on fire only to be chased off by the big red machine.
In other action before the main event MNM topped Brian Kendrick, Paul London, and Ashley in a mixed tag team match. After back and forth action MNM got the three count and the win leading into their rematch with the Hardy’s on Sunday. Deuce and Domino were again victorious after beating Adam Evans and Wes Adams.
Now for the main event. After the match went for a while and Kane had been eliminated a new competitor entered the competition under the cover of darkness. Undertaker entered the match and eliminated all of the other competitors with a flurry of tombstones and chokeslams to win the over the top challenge and to set him up for a potential victory at this weekends Royal Rumble.
