Triple H has early control with some right hands and a few arm wrenches. Bam Neely makes his presence felt, however, with a leg trip and forearm shot. Chavo takes control off the interference with a sitting abdominal stretch.
The Game recovers out of the submission and knocks Chavo down with a high knee followed by the face-buster. Following a spine-buster, Triple H clocks Neely, counters out of the Three Amigos and nails the Pedigree to pick up the win and more momentum en route to the Great American Bash.
Back from break, it is confirmed that at The Great American Bash, Natalya will face Michelle McCool for the right to become the first ever WWE Divas Champion.
Fifth Bout: Natalya & Maryse defeat Michelle McCool & Cherry
McCool and Maryse start the bout with Michelle nailing a dropkick on a cocky Maryse. After the two exchange tags, Natalya body slams Cherry into the ropes and starts focusing on the injured leg. Despite a great effort from the Sock Hop Dame, the fiery Canadian redhead applies the Sharpshooter and picks up the victory.
Following the match, Natalya attacks Michelle and sends her outside. Following a snap suplex on the ground, Natalya points to the Divas Championship and says, "At the Bash, that's mine."
Sixth Bout: Jesse & Festus defeat Hawkins & Ryder (via countout)
Jesse gets early control with some mudhole stomps in the corner. After the two former Edgeheads double team the shortest of the Southern duo, Jesse manages to tag in Festus who goes on an onslaught spree.
But the duo picked up a trick or two from their former teacher as they jumped off the ring apron and forced the ref to countout so the bell could ring. After they dispatch of Jesse, they double team Festus. Everything's going well until the forgotten partner hits the ring bell allowing his buddy to snap back into action.
Seventh Bout: Vladimir Kozlov defeats Stevie Richards
Richards tries to gain control with a series of kicks, but Vladimir gets the advantage in the corner. Kozlov locks in the body scissors, but Stevie gets out of it and nails the enzuigiri.
But in the corner, Vladimir moves out of the way of the Bronco Buster, drags Richards out by the hair and nails a massive headbutt on the back of the neck to pick up the win and remain undefeated on SmackDown!
In the back, Vickie's wrath is being felt by all the former members of La Familia as they start pointing fingers at whose fault it is. Vickie comes in and tells all of them that if any of them interfere in tonight's main event, they will be fired.
She then goes on to focus more of her fury on her ex-fiancee and tells him that if he doesn't go through with the match, he will be fired as well. After getting his manhood questioned by his former lover, Edge storms out towards the ring for his match with Big Show.
Main Event: Big Show and Edge fight to No Contest
Big Show shows early dominance with body slams and chops as Vickie Guerrero looks on from the entranceway. Show removes the covering from the announcer's table and prepares to slam Edge through it, but the Ultimate Opportunist wiggles out and lands the Spear to slow the pace of the match.
Back on SD!, Show launches Edge into the steel steps as Vickie has moved to ringside to get a closer look. Edge manages to recover and drops the 7-footer with a bulldog on the outside. Back inside the ring, Edge applies a sleeper, but Show awakens and drops a back suplex. As Show goes for the Show Stopper, Edge counters it into a DDT.
Edge then picks up a steel chair and charges the behemoth, but Show punches the chair and knocks him senseless. As Show goes for another Chokeslam, Edge counters with a low blow followed by a shot from the chair. As he prepares for the Conchairto, Edge gets dropped with a Chokeslam. As Show prepares to conduct his own Conchairto, Vickie demands that the ref stop the match and dives onto a fallen Edge.
After the match, Vickie apologizes to Edge, and the Rated R Superstar proposes to her once again. The two swap fluids in the ring and embrace. Looks like the two have reconciled their differences...for now. But did anyone else besides me notice the look in Edge's eyes as SmackDown! went off the air?
Like the album is called, "So Much for the Afterglow." With the Bash in two weeks, what does this reconciliation mean for Triple H's future as WWE Champion?
Find out next week on the next Friday Night SmackDown!
