At the Great American Bash, we saw new champions crowned, current champions persevere, and chaos reign supreme during the Triple Main Event. Tonight is the culmination of a wild week in the WWE as Friday Night SmackDown! continues the anarchy started by RAW!

A Blockbuster that's a must see...and it's free!

Yesterday, we found out that the WWE Championship will be up for grabs at Summerslam. We just don't know who Triple H's opponent will be at the End of Summer Classic. But after tonight, we will find out who's next to play The Game as SmackDown! General Manager Vickie Guerrero has shown just how much she loves her husband, Edge...by excluding him from the title hunt.

Six of SmackDown!'s biggest superstars will collide in a main event of epic proportions as three SmackDown! veterans (MVP, The Great Khali & Big Show) and three of the brand's newest stars (Jeff Hardy, Umaga & Kennedy) will battle in a six man over the top rope battle royal. The rules are simple: Be the last man standing, and you've punched your ticket to face Triple H for the WWE Championship. Now comes the fun part: Who wants it more?

Golden Arrivals

It took less than a month for it to happen, but SmackDown! managed to acquire its major championships back after the draft. Newest SmackDown! superstar Shelton Benjamin fulfilled his destiny by defeating Matt Hardy to become the United States Champion at the Bash, while Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder fulfilled their quest and captured the WWE Tag Team Championships in the Fatal Four Way match.

But the brightest star on the SmackDown Roster is without a doubt Michelle McCool. The remaining member of the original divas fulfilled her dream of being champion as she became the first WWE Divas Champion against Natalya at the Bash. How will these three entities celebrate their first night on SmackDown as Champions? Who will come rain on their parade? And will they see action at Summerslam as well?

Never Go Against The Family

Last week on SmackDown!, Triple H unveiled a shocking video that had Edge showing his Ultimate Opportunist side as he was caught locking lips with the wedding planner Alicia Fox. At the sight of this travesty, Vickie broke down and attacked her new husband. Now after the incident at the Great American Bash, have the battle lines been drawn?

Chavo didn't make any comments about the fallout from either the wedding or the Bash when he joined Tazz and Adamle on ECW for commentary. What will the nephew of the GM have to say about Edge's actions? Will he back his aunt or his friend? Two things are for sure: One, never go against the family, and two, hell hath no fury...

Like a Woman Scorned!

We've heard that statement so many times over the years, and it's been true almost every time. After finding out Edge's true colors last Friday night, the SmackDown! GM was going to get revenge one way or the other. Despite what it may have cost, Vickie Guerrero did what many wanted her to do all along: Screw Edge over! At the Bash, we all got our wish.

Thanks to the catfight between Vickie and Alicia, not to mention the spear that nearly broke his bride in half, Edge will arrive to SmackDown! tonight not the WWE Champion. It's obvious that Edge will have something to say about the actions of his bride and his mistress, but what will they have to say to him? To take a page out of Booker T's book from last night, Edge might want to be afraid of the dark.

It may not make sense now, but after tonight, everyone's lives on SmackDown! will be changed. With a vengeful GM on the loose, is SmackDown! about to join RAW on the Anarchy Train? What will The King of Kings have to say about the Bash, Summerslam and the love triangle of Vickie, Edge and Alicia? Will Edge apologize to his wife for his misdeeds or will he side with his beautiful stranger?

For answers to these questions and for a guaranteed crazy way to start your weekend, tune in tonight for a monumental Friday Night SmackDown! @ 9/8C.
