Amidst all the turmoil with Chavo Guerrero, Rey Mysterio will have to face the brash Mr. Kennedy Friday night. Last week Mysterio confronted Guerrero at ringside after accusations of being a leech living off the blood of the Guerrero name. If not for the intervention of the late Eddie Guerreros wife, Vickie Guerrero, these former lifelong friends might have destroyed one another. Will the former World Champion be able to focus on his match, or will Kennedy show that his wins over Batista were no fluke?

Speaking of Batista, The Animal will be forming a powerhouse pairing with fellow big man, Lashley, in a tag team match against Finley and William Regal. After several weeks of facing each other in singles competition, will Finlay and Regal be able to put their rivalry behind them and go back to being friends? Even if they can, will their skills  and maybe some help from Finlays Little Bastard  be any match for the power of Batista and Lashley?

That wont be the only thing on Batistas mind. As reported on WWE.com, General Manager Theodore Long has announced that King Booker will defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Batista at SummerSlam.

WWE.com has also reported that Long has plans for bringing new Superstars to SmackDown by relaunching the New Talent Initiative. Weve already seen the debut of several stars such as Sylvester Terkay, Elijah Burke, Idol Stevens and K.C. James. Will we meet any new acquisitions on Friday night?

The Diva Search contestants were met by a sweet surprise last week, receiving pies in their faces while addressing the SmackDown fans. Unfortunately for Erica, it was her last taste of the Diva Search as she was eliminated Monday on RAW. Friday the final four finalists will face off in a talent competition. How will the Diva hopefuls stack up, and who will be the next Diva to be eliminated from the 2006 $250,000 Diva Search?

Find out the answers to these and other questions by catching SmackDown this Friday at 8/7 CT on UPN.
