PROMO TIME – John Cena
No title belt for Cena because Khali made off with it last week. Cena points out he doesn't have the belt despite being the champion. Cena seems somewhat shook up by the whole state of affairs. "He left and I couldn't stop him". He says he was embarrased and humiliated. He says it's not the first time as half the crowd thinks he sucks every time he comes out here. He talks about the pride and respect he has for the business and the title. "…and he just took it". He says he's been in the ring with giants and superheavyweights before. It's not an excuse. Cena says Khali isn't even human. Khali takes his best shots and doesn't move. Cena is quick to point out Khali has never been pinned and has barely been off his feet and all the girls/kids in the audience chant his "Cena". He talks about his friends and advisors telling him that Judgment Day will be Cena's execution. Cena doesn't agree. He says Khali signed up for the fight of his life and Cena wants that title belt back RIGHT NOW. Khali gains a translator on the Titantron and he speaks via the translator to Cena. The translator tells Cena that Khali has accomplished unparalleled carnage over the last three weeks. Khali says he'll become WWE champion this coming Sunday. "If you want some, come get some" – Khali via translator. Cena looks around at the crowd and heads to the back. This leads to a brawl in the area where Khali was talking. Cena fares badly and gets chokebombed on a buggy.
JEFF HARDY w/Matt Hardy v TREVOR MURDOCH w/Lance Cade
JR gets his skittles plug in and talks about how pleasantly surprised he is with the improved attitude of Cade & Murdoch. The latter gives Jeff a clean break in the opening exchange. Murdoch then shows his skills on the mat with counters and btoh guys use armdrags. They miss with a few clotheslines and we get the old Indy Standoff, sort of. Jeff elbows Murdoch out of the ring and follows with a pescado. Jeff scrapes Murdoch with the mule kick and mounts for the corner punches but the corner dropkick misses. Cade doesn't interfere. JR keeps pointing out how Jeff used illegal punches there. Jeff with a jawbreaker and the Whisper in the Wind hits for 2. That looked like a twisting Blockbuster this week. Murdoch cuts him off on the ropes the second time but Hardy shoves him off. Swanton bomb gets knees. Murdoch pins him…for 2. He thinks that was three. Jeff gets a cheeky roll up for the pin at 3.59.
