Preview: A big night in the Big Easy July 13, 2007

Just nine days before The Great American Bash, SmackDown heads into the world-renowned city of celebration, New Orleans. As we all know, Edge isn't one to shy away from a party, either. Bring the two together and what do you get? Edge's own Mardi Gras party.

With his World Heavyweight Championship Match against Kane right around the corner, Mr. Happy Go Lucky Edge will throw a party like never seen before in the historic city. What does The Rated-R Superstar have up his sleeve? Will our fans in New Orleans put their disdain for Edge behind so they can party with the World Heavyweight Champion? Find out this week on SmackDown.

Find out the answers to these questions and much more on the next Friday Night SmackDown at 8/7 CT on The CW Network.
