-WWE Open.

-A video introducing Smackdown in WWE HD aired.

-Fireworks brought us to the campus of the University of Virginia. They went right to the first match.

1- Rey Mysterio vs. CURT HAWKINS & ZACK RYDER

Rey got a quick spurt of offense before a tag was made. A blind tag led to a double-team to put the EdgeHeads on offense. Edge was shown watching the match backstage. An enziguiri by Rey gave him a breather. Springboard splash got him a near-fall. Rey hit a cross-body on Hawkins on the outside, then a seated “senton” on Ryder. Hawkins came in with a chair, drawing a DQ. Rey dropkicked it into Hawkins’ skull.

WINNER: Rey by DQ at 5:34.

-Taker vs. Big Daddy V is still to come.

[Commercial Break]

-Jesse, in a backstage interview, said Festus is at the doctor getting checked out for his “condition” that causes him to go crazy at the bell. That explains why they haven’t been on TV lately.

2- DOMINO vs. JIMMY WANG YANG

Hurricanrana by Yang, who then whiffed on a baseball slide. Domino came off the top with a forearm to the back of Yang’s head while he was hung up on the top rope. Domino to the middle rope, but Yang allegedly got a boot to the ribs to stop him- it looked like Yang didn’t get his foot up in time or something, as it looked like he barely moved out of the way and Domino just had to come down and land on his feet selling. Crossbody from the top for two. Cherry got on the apron to distract the ref while Deuce nailed Yang. That only got two. Shannon Moore took out Deuce and Yang hit the moonsault for three.

WINNER: Yang at 6:26.

-Jamie Noble was stretching backstage when he was approached by Chuck Palumbo. The two started arguing but stopped when Michelle McCool came up to them. They’re in a six-person tag match next!

-The Jeff Hardy video package aired.

3- CHUCK PALUMBO & MICHELLE MCCOOL & JAMIE NOBLE vs. JOHN MORRISON & THE MIZ & LAYLA

Coach doesn’t know if a guy and girl can be “just friends.” What, is he in high school? Noble tagged himself in just as Chuck was getting hot. Thesz press by Noble after a blind Palumbo tag. The two started arguing and Chuck shoved Jamie into Michelle, who was on the apron. McCool took a hard fall to the outside. The match stopped at this point and Jamie checked on Michelle. He called for a medic. After they arrived, Palumbo took out his frustrations on Noble, beating the crap out of him. “You suck” chants for Chuck. Michelle tried to intervene, but Chuck pushed her to the mat. It was ambiguous enough that it looked a bit like an accident.
