Official WWE SmackDown Preview For Next Week

The following is from WWE.com:

With so much on the line at No Mercy, the first episode of SmackDown following the pay-per-view is sure to feature plenty of drama as the dust continues to settle.

King Without a Crown?
King Booker looked anything but excited last Friday night when he learned that his World Heavyweight Championship Match against Bobby Lashley was changed to a Fatal Four Way against Lashley, Batista and Finlay. How could The King possibly hope to survive No Mercy with the gold? Would his Royal Knight Finlay turn against him for good? Would Batista reclaim his long lost gold, or would the other half of SmackDown s most powerful duo, Lashley, finally rise to the top in his first pay-per-view main event? Who will walk into SmackDown on Friday as World Heavyweight Champion?

Declared Dead?
After announcing that he had accomplished everything there was to accomplish on SmackDown, Mr. Kennedy may have wanted to eat his words when that declaration resulted in a one-on-one match-up with the legendary Undertaker at No Mercy. Would the brash young Superstar make good on his promise to pin The Deadman, or would Mr. Kennedy and his egotistical mouth finally rest in peace?

Family Business
Will a Falls Count Anywhere Match between former friends Chavo Guerrero and Rey Mysterio finally be enough to settle the bitter rivalry that has plagued these two men for months? What will Chavo s business manager, Vickie Guerrero, have in mind next for her new charge? Will Rey Mysterio finally be his upbeat, smiling self again?

Paying Dividends
SmackDown s newest acquisition declared on Friday night that he would make history at No Mercy. Did MVP deliver on his promise? How will the rest of the SmackDown roster react when MVP undoubtedly runs his mouth again?

What will happen when SmackDown returns following an action packed No Mercy? Tune in on Friday night at 8/7 CT on the all-new CW Network.
