DX got their own entrance, while the rest of Team RAW came out together afterward to the RAW entrance theme. Jericho and Kane got separate entrances, and then the rest of Team SD! came out to the SD! theme.

A RAW chant broke out in the crowd. Everyone is wearing T-shirts for their show except for DX, who had DX shirts on. Shawn Michaels did have the RAW shirt tied around his waist though.

Back and forth early on, with Smackdown with the early advantage. HBK was able to hit sweet chin music on Finlay at one point, but the Hart Dynasty made a blind tag and hit their finisher on Michaels for a two count.

Jericho tagged in and put Michaels in a sleeperhold. Michaels then played Ricky Morton for awhile (I know, I've already used that reference) for the different members of Team SD! before making the hot tag to Triple H. Triple H gave the Hart Dynasty and Finlay spine busters on top of each other until Kane broke it up and gave Triple H a chokeslam.

The finish saw everyone getting involved hitting their finishers. Kofi went to get on Big Show's shoulders to dive on a fallen Chris Jericho, but Show chokeslammed Kofi and knocked out Triple H (who was entering the ring) with his big punch. Jericho proceeded to cover Kingston for the win as Big Show walked to the back.

Winners via pinfall: Team Smackdown (WWE Unified Tag Team Champion Chris Jericho, Kane, Matt Hardy, R-Truth, Finlay and The Hart Dynasty)
