Sunday night is Judgment Day and we will get to see the Undertaker battle Edge for the World Heavyweight Title, but Vickie Guerrero has given her fiancé an advantage because That Submission Hold has been banned. Will Undertaker unveil That Submission Hold II this week to scare Edge or will we see Taker voice his anger at Vickie’s decision? Now that Cherry has been popped out of Deuce and Domino, what is next for her? Will Domino bring in another sister or will Maryse fill Cherry’s skates? How will Deuce cope with the loss of his girlfriend? What is next for the United States Champion?
We start off with a look back at Vickie Guerrero’s quest to take the title from Undertaker only to give the Undertaker a shot at the title that he was stripped of. We then see the ten men battle for a shot at the Undertaker only to see the eleventh (Steiner math allows eleven to be less than ten) man, Edge become the man to face Taker. We then see the glass case holding the belt explode when that darn indoor lightning struck.
We are live on tape from Grand Rapids, Michigan and your announcers are Michael ‘They’re GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREAT’ Cole and Mick ‘Buck needs work on his shilling’ Foley.
Edge emerges from the smoke with Vickie Guerrero and her substitute wheelchair driver Curt Hawkins, Zack Ryder, Chavo Guerrero, and Bam Neely and they come to the ring. Edge says that last week we witnessed a medical miracle. He did not think that he would be able to compete in the Championship Chase for the Chance to Face the Undertaker Until Something Devious Could Be Planned to Screw Them Over deal at the start of the night. After plenty of rest, some perseverance, and some green tea from Vickie, and support of his familia; he got clearance in the nick of time. Edge says that means that on Sunday he will beat the Undertaker. Undertaker has never beaten Edge without using the Illegal Choke Hold, but he will not be able to use that hold on Sunday. Edge will be the new World Champion.
Edge is interrupted by the music for Vickie’s regular wheelchair driver, Teddy Long who makes his way to the ring. Teddy apologizes for being late and Vickie wants to know where Teddy has been because she has been trying to contact him all day long. Vickie asks Teddy who he thinks he is coming to the show late and interrupting Edge. Vickie reminds Teddy that he assists her and when she calls, he answers. Teddy is the first to arrive and the last to go home. Vickie says that they will finish this conversation in the office and she tells Teddy to stay there. Teddy tells Vickie that he was late because he was in Stamford, Connecticut at the WWE Headquarters. Teddy says that he was summoned there to meet with the Board of Directors. They had questions about Vickie’s decision to strip the Undertaker of his title. Teddy says that they wanted to meet with Vickie, but she blew off the appointment. Vickie says that she had other business commitments. Teddy answered all of their questions to the best of their ability, including questions about Edge and how the relationship affected her decisions. Vickie says that it has nothing to do with her fiancé. She does everything for the betterment of Smackdown. Teddy says that the board sees things a little differently. Teddy has something for Vickie from the Board of Directors and he was asked to deliver it publicly.
Teddy reads the letter and it says that due to her recent actions on Smackdown, including stripping Undertaker of the World Title, they have decided to take disciplinary or action against her. Teddy says that the Board has given her a choice. Either she competes in her first wrestling match tonight to keep her position or you will be removed as the General Manager of Smackdown. Teddy tells Vickie that he knows someone who can handle the job perfectly. Vickie says that she cannot believe that Teddy went behind her back so she fires Teddy. Teddy tells Vickie that she cannot fire him because he quits.
Teddy leaves the ring and before he leaves the arena, he tells Vickie that she will be facing the Undertaker. We go to commercial.
