Last Friday's airing of SmackDown on MyNetworkTV was heavily changed this past week. So much so, that company officials had Jim Ross and Tazz fly out to WWE's television studios in Stamford, Connecticut to redo the commentary for the entire show.

The Matt and Jeff Hardy promo was heavily edited as they took out the part of Matt saying he burned his brother's home down last year.

Additionally, the main event pitting Undertaker against Vladimir Kozlov was significantly edited as approximately five minutes worth of action were taken out of the match due to its awfulness.

A meeting was held following last week's Raw and a decision was made to change the show.

In a related note, a match pitting R-Truth against Chavo Guerrero was edited out of the 3/6 SmackDown due to time constraints. R-Truth garnered the victory over Guerrero at the 3/3 SmackDown taping.
