Smackdown!
- They quickly run down the events of last week's Smackdown!, including Brock Lesnar's suspension.
- We're told that tonight there will be a fatal fourway #1 Contenders's match between Kurt Angle, Chris Benoit, Edge and Eddie Guerrero. The winner will face the Big Show at Armageddon!
- Albert def. Rey Mysterio. After the match, Albert beats up Rey and "injures" his knee with a chair. Eventually, Edge comes out for the save but the damage has been done. Mysterio gets helped to the back by officials.
- Backstage, Dawn Marie talks to Torrie Wilson, saying that Al is overseas but he isn't the only Wilson who she has feelings for. Dawn says that it's Torrie, she's watched Torrie's every single move and her admiration for her has grown. Her eyes are so beautiful and her body is vuluptuous. Torrie asks if the reason she was engaged to Al just to play him for a fool all over me? Dawn says that she loves Al, but how much does Torrie love Al? She has a proposition: if Torrie does something for her, she won't go through with the wedding. She'll be in Room 357, and she hopes Torrie will join her there. As much as they both appreciate the opposite sex, no one can make a woman feel as good as another woman...
- Funaki, Smackdown! #1 announcer, is with Bill DeMott. Funaki says he's a big fan of Tough Enough 3. DeMott tells him to cut the crap, if he has something to say, say it. Tough Enough 3 was just a job, nothing more or less. He's worked too hard for 11 years to be interviewed by Funaki. It's not okay, he deserves better and with that, DeMott lays out Funaki.
- Backstage, they take Mysterio to the hospital, fearing that his knee is shattered.
- Stephanie McMahon heads to the ring and says she's horrified at what happened to Mysterio but Mysterio and other superstars sacrifice their bodies every night, just like she does. With that, we see a clip from Monday's Raw highlighting the Steiner ordeal. Steph says that she sacrificed herself to bring Steiner to Smackdown! and he'll be here next week to sign his contract. But tonight, she will make another sacrifice. She says she stands by her decision to suspend Brock Lesnar. Lesnar defied her authority and he is suffering the consequences. Tonight though, Brock will get to explain his side of the story but not in person rather via satellite. Stephanie leaves.
- Crash Holly def. Jamie Noble. After Noble loses, he pouts and says that next week, he will bring his cousin.
- Chris Benoit talks of his upcoming fatal fourway match tonight. All he's ever dreamed of is to become the #1 contender. He made sacrifices: his broken neck, his divorce, his kids who he rarely sees. He wants to be WWE champion but three men are standing in his way: Angle, Guerrero and Edge. He's been wrestling for 17 years, and he will use everything he knows to get through them to accomplish his goal since he was three years old: to become WWE champion.
- Bill DeMott def. Funaki. Before the match (and this surely won't air), Demott cuts an anti-Texas promo so the crowd boos him when he comes out; it seemed to work.
- Backstage, Eddie tells Chavo that it's a big night for the Guerreros. When Chavo becomes the Cruiserweight champion, he'll be so proud. And after he wins the fatal fourway, he'll be the #1 Contender. Chavo says he knows Eddie can beat the Big Show. Eddie asks Chavo if he realizes how proud the Guerrero family, especially Grandma Guerrero, will be if all this happens. Eddie says they need to focus and tonight they will start dominating and there will be no stopping them.
- Brock Interview. He says that he deserved what happened but that doesn't mean he hasn't learned from his mistakes. He will punish Heyman and his puppet, Big Show. They will find out what happens in stealing his prized possession; like Tazz said - he got raped for the title. As for Stephanie's accusation that Brock Lesnar screwed Brock Lesnar...at this point, Big Show's music hits. Heyman grabs a mic and asks him if he can call him Brock since they're so close. He's wanted to talk to him face-to-face - that title was taken away because he's just like a petulent child who keeps defying his parent. He needed a spanking and who better to do it than his client, the new WWE champion - The Big Show? Lesnar asks Heyman if he's done and Paul says he's hardly done. As much as he respects Stephanie, she was wrong - Brock didn't screw Brock. We screwed Brock Lesnar and we did it with malice and force! Not only did they screw Lesnar, they liked it! If they could turn back the clock to before Survivor Series when they came up with the plan, they'd do it all over again. Heyman says that he doesn't want Brock to lose his temper again so just sit back and enjoy the suspension, while watching the fatal fourway match to see who faces Big Show at Armageddon. Brock says that Show vs. either Angle, Benoit, Eddie or Edge sounds like one helluva match and he can't wait to see it - in person!
- Raw Retro: Shane buys WCW.
- Billy Kidman def. Chavo Guerrero to retain the WWE Cruiserweight title.
- Mark Loyd interviews Edge and says that we haven't heard any updates on Mysterio's situation yet but he'd like to get his thoughts on his upcoming match. Edge says that when he woke up this morning, his only goal was to become the #1 Contender, but after what Albert did to Mysterio, his focus has shifted a little bit. Tonight, he will use the match as an outlet for his aggression that he has for Albert.
- Hip Hop Challenge: Rikishi def. John Cena, I think. The rules are each man gets to do his thing and the audience would decide. Cena went first and spewed out a little rap, Rikishi followed it up by saying Cena is worse than Vanilla Ice, an Eminem wannabe and some other stuff including sucking up to the fans. Cena and B Squared didn't like it, so they beat Rikishi up but he fights back.
- Kurt Angle def. Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero & Edge in a fatal fourway to become the #1 Contender. All through the show it sounded like it would be a fatal fourway, but it ended up being an elimination match. Before the match, Edge got attacked by Albert, but made his way back for the match. Eddie got eliminated first, Benoit was out second. In the end, Kurt Angle pinned Edge to become the #1 contender. After the match, the Big Show assaulted Kurt Angle and the show ended with his music playing.
