-Smackdown Open.
1- THE BOOGEYMAN VS. WILLIAM REGAL
Boogeyman is seconded by Little Boogey this week, while Regal has Dave Taylor in his corner. Not sure who has the advantage there. Clean break in the corner from Boogeyman. Even a push of Regal into the corner off a tie-up from Boogeyman looks week. Boogeyman works over Regal in the corner but goes after Taylor, who came up to the apron, and a boot from Regal puts him down. Regal mashes Boogeyman’s head against the steel ring post with his boot. Series of knees to the head by Regal. Back elbow by Regal finds the mark, which gets a two-count. Michael Cole promises the last few minutes of the Taker/Batista match from Backlash will be shown tonight. Boogeyman gets a boot up in the corner on Regal, who charges in. He then starts to seize, but Boogey hits the two-handed chokeslam. Before the ref can count to three, Taylor interferes for the DQ. Little Boogey gets taken out, but Kane comes out to save the day, chasing the fleeing Brits through the crowd.

Then M.V.P. comes in and Teddy asks if he’s there to interview for Long’s assistant position. Porter blames his Backlash loss on a bout with the flu. He wants another shot at the US Title or he’ll sit out the rest of his contract. Teddy says he’ll get his re-match if he wins his match tonight. And his match tonight, is against Kane. The winner faces Benoit for the title. As Porter leaves, he passes the line of applicants for the assistant job- Sgt. Slaughter, the Brooklyn Brawler and Miz.
