- A video promo hits revisiting the events last week on SmackDown where Edge and Alicia Fox were caught having a secret affair on video and Vickie’s tantrum in the ring.

- The SmackDown opening video hits; it’s been altered slightly. Jim Ross and Mick Foley welcome us to the show

- JR and Foley recap of what happened at The Great American Bash when Edge “accidentally” speared Vickie Guerrero, Foley says that Vickie will make an appearance tonight. They send us to MVP’s VIP Lounge.

- MVP does the typical VIP Lounge introduction. MVP welcomes his guest; Jeff Hardy – he gets a huge ovaiton. MVP plugs the Battle Royal later tonight involving Mr. Kennedy, Umaga, The Great Khali and Big Show and plugs himself as the self-proclaimed odds-on favourite. Jeff brings up how he hasn’t seen MVP win a match since he lost the United States Title; MVP also brings up how Jeff has made some mistakes including his 60-day suspension and his tragic house accident prior to WrestleMania. MVP says that because of Jeff’s behaviour cost his dog his life and is therefore ruining his career and because of that he will never be WWE Champion. This seems like a slight shoot segment. Jeff shoves MVP out of the ring, fans chant “Hardy” loudly…JR and Foley don’t say anything basically after that. Very good segment, but seemed a bit emotional.

- A promo for SummerSlam airs.

- Shelton Benjamin makes his way out to the ring. JR and Foley recap the match Benjamin had with Matt Hardy at the Great American Bash. Benjamin gets on the mic and basically cuts a promo about himself. Jimmy Wang Yang’s music hits and we have ourselves a match.

- NON-TITLE MATCH: JIMMY WANG YANG VS. SHELTON BENJAMIN

It’s a basic “when-he-was-improperly-used-in-ECW” Benjamin squash, Benjamin hits aggressive moves early on and Yang hits some high-flying moves. Finish saw Benjamin hit his finisher on Yang after Yang miss a wheel kick.

Winner: Shelton Benjamin

- Edge is shown backstage with The Edgeheads, Edge tries to apologise but they say they don’t need one, Vickie does. They leave for their match and Edge wishes them good luck.

- The Edgeheads come out to the ring and it’s apparently Curt Hawkins in singles action, his opponent….(Biscuits & Gravy!!) Festus.

- FESTUS VS. CURT HAWKINS

Another short match which didn’t last 2 minutes. Jesse attacks Ryder when he attempts to help Hawkins. Festus hits his flapjack finisher for the win.
