There is no set up for ECW yet, which is live on Sci-Fi in the same building following this SmackDown! taping.

Matt Hardy def. Sylvester Terkay

Matt Hardy wins with a roll up. This was a dark match, we believe.

JBL is on his way now down to the ring with a piece of paper. He takes his seat at the announce table.

Michael Cole is now on his way to the announcing table.

Tony Chimel is in the ring. He tells the fans they're about to do the opening video thing followed by pyro, and informs them to go nuts for the TV cameras.

SD! opener plays, recap of last week with Bobby Lashley and Batista.

Pyro explodes in the arena, crowd does their thing for the TV opening for SmackDown!

The Miz is in the ring and says tonight on SmackDown!, Teddy Long orders a rematch between Bobby Lashley and Booker T from last week. Also on SD! tonight, a World title match between champion Rey Mysterio and Mark Henry.

In the ring now is Paul London and Brian "Spanky" Kendrick against The Mexicools for the SmackDown! opening match. London accidentally kicks Kendrick, it got countered though and London gets the pin with a roll-up to remain tag-champs. After the match, Super Crazy got mad and turned on Psciosis, beating him up. He's probably headed off to ECW. Apparently a real good 10-minute opening match.

Simon Dean against Tatanka is up next. During the match, The Great Khali's music hit and he comes to the ring and clears house. Afterwards, he took his hands put them over his stomach while sticking his tongue out and roaring.

Fit Finlay and Gunner Scott is the next match. Another decent length match, pretty long. Finlay's midget came out with a magic wand. He tried attacking Scott, and Scott pushed him down lifted the apron cover around the ring and kicked him under the ring. Finlay hit Scott with the wand and got the 1-2-3. After the match, the midget tried coming out from under the ring and Finlay kicked him back under it.

Now we've got a backstage interview with Chavo Guerrero. Guerrero is talking about Mark Henry and how dominate he can be. Highlights are shown of Mark Henry attacking Chavo Guerrero last week. Back to the interview, Chavo is asked why as a retired wrestler is Mark Henry attacking him. They ask if it will be the end of Mysterio tonight, and Chavo said no way he'll win. He knows he's not the only Guerrero that thinks Mysterio will win.
