Edge welcomes us to Smackdown and says that tonight we will be treated to highlights of the Undertaker’s illustrious WWE career and tonight the Undertaker will be on the Cutting Edge.

Smackdown opening video and pyro hits.

Michael Cole welcomes us to Smackdown and Batista is on his way to the ring.

Smackdown comes from Colorado Springs, Colorado this week.

Batista chants start before he speaks. He says he is a man of his word and he will hurt HBK at One Night Stand. He says this thing between him and HBK has gone way beyond personal. Vickie Guerrero comes out on the stage with the Edgeheads. She gets loud boos and Vickie sucks chants soon follow. Vickie points out that Batista may not be on Smackdown much longer with the draft coming up but says that Batista must beat HBK for the pride of Smackdown and to make her look like a good GM. Batista replies says its just about him and HBK, not about Smackdown or RAW. Hawkins interrupts and demands respect for the GM and tells Batista to shut up. Batista taunts Hawkins and Ryder to come down to the ring and make him shut up. Vickie stops and makes a match for tonight, the Edgeheads v Batista and a partner of his choosing.

First Undertaker career highlight of the night is his unforgettable 1990 debut at the Survivor Series. I’ll never forget the impact he made that night.

Match 1: US Champion Matt Hardy v Elijah Burke
Burke starts off on top, Foley makes a funny comment about Vickie being the ‘nails on the chalkboard of life’. Hardy tees off on Burke, Burke 4 ups Matt Hardy’s chin using his knuckles and then slaps on a sleeper. Hits a series of forearms to Hardy’s head. Hardy knocks Burke off the top rope but Burke then manages to hang Hardy on the top rope and get back to a sideheadlock. Hardy breaks the hold with a back suplex followed by a side Russian legsweep and an elbow to the back. His side effect is blocked but then he hits it and Burke kicks out to Foley’s amazement. Hardy then hits a quick twist of fate out of nowhere and gets the pin.

Winner: US Champion Matt Hardy

Eve Torres backstage with MVP who says that he is still the most talented member of the Smackdown roster. Noble interrupts and MVP makes a joke about Noble’s height with some short sized jokes which leads to Noble saying he will go to Vickie and get a match with MVP tonight. MVP isn’t impressed with the thought of having to compete tonight.

Match 2: Chuck Palumbo v Finlay
Foley comments on Palumbo’s hat saying Slash from Guns N Roses wants his hat back. Funny comment by Foley. Physical start to this match taking up from where they left off last week. Belly to belly on Finlay. Finlay side steps Palumbo’s charge and he hits the ringpost. Finlay locks in a fujiwara armbar and goes to work on the arm of Palumbo. Action spills to the outside and Finaly drop toe holds Palumbo into the steps. Palumbo fights back and hits Finlay with a stiff big boot. 2 count. Palumbo misses the legdrop off the 2nd rope and Finlay hits a nice clothesline on Palumbo which sends him over the top rope. Palumbo takes a chain from his motorcycle and hits Finlay causing a DQ finish
