ECW/Smackdown spoiler for this week - *Spoilers*

D2D

ECW

The show kicks off with William Regal standing in the middle of the ring. He says that it is, “his honor and your privilege” to introduce the NEXT ECW Champion, Ezekiel Jackson. Big Zeke makes his way out to the ring and starts to put himself over. He says that this Sunday at the Rumble he will in fact be claiming the ECW Championship Gold.

Christian’s music hits and he comes out to the entrance ramp. He points out that Jackson likes to quote the Bible. Christian says he has a quote of his own. Ezekiel 25:17 “I will strike down on those with great vengeance and furious anger, those who attempt to destroy my brothers. And you will know, my peeps will know, that my name is Captain Charisma. When I lay my vengeance on thee”. I don’t think that was an EXACT quote, though maybe it is from the New Revised Standard Version….

Zeke says that Christian may be a comedian, but Christian has never faced an opponent like himself. Christian said that Zeke is correct that last week he was left sprawled in the ring, but in his defense, it was two against one. Christian said that this week he is evening the score, and Kane’s music hits! The Big Red Machine makes his way down to the ring, and this Tag Team match is up next!

Christian & Kane v. William Regal & Ezekiel Jackson

As the show returns, this match is already underway. Regal and Christian are exchanging blows in the ring, with Christian connecting with a monkey flip. Regal tags in Ezekiel Jackson, so in response Christian tags in Kane. The two monsters square off. They both bounce off the ropes and attempts shoulder blocks, but neither man goes down. Kane catches Zeke in a side headlock, to the crowd’s support. Kane gets whipped into the ropes and tries another shoulder block, but Kane still cannot take him down. Zeke is still yelling that he is “too strong” to be taken to the mat by Kane. Zeke finds his armed grabbed as Kane tags in Christian.

Christian comes into the ring by jumping on Zeke’s arm. The Champion gets caught with a quick scoop slam, so he tags in Kane. Zeke is able to whip Kane into the corner, which allows him to tag in William Regal. William drops Kane to the mat and locks up Kane’s legs. Kane kicks Regal away, but the reprieve is short as Regal tags in Jackson. Ezekiel sets Kane in the corner and connects with a shoulder thrust, followed by a Stinger Splash. Jackson goes for the cover, but Kane kicks out.

Kane is locked in the middle of the ring by a front headlock. Kane uses the crowd to break free, and then connect with a punch. Jackson goes for another splash, but Kane moves out of the way and tags in the ECW Champion. Christian comes running into the ring and connects with a clothesline, followed by a missile dropkick from the second rope. Christian hits a neckbreaker, and then knocks Regal off the apron. He throws Jackson out of the ring, and then springboards off the ropes for a leaping crossbody to the outside!

We come back as Jackson throws Christian to the outside. Jackson runs out after him and runs through him with a huge clothesline. Jackson rolls Christian back into the ring, and then tags in Regal. At first the British star is able to take Christian down to the mat, but the Canadian one escapes, leaps to the second rope, and then hits a sunset flip. Regal quickly rolls out and tags in Jackson. Christian is starting to tire, so he is really falling victim to the power of Jackson.

The commentators point out that they don’t even think Christian can hit his finisher on Jackson this Sunday. The size difference might be too great. Jackson tags in William Regal. Christian gets caught with a beautiful butterfly Suplex. Regal tags in Jackson who comes in to try a cover, but Christian kicks out. Jackson pushes Christian into the corner, were he and Regal begin to double team the Champion. Kane runs over to try and make the save, but the referee stops him and he is forced to head to the outside.

Christian is placed in the corner by Regal, and he is able to use his speed to jump from the second rope and connect with a European Uppercut. This allows Christian to get to Kane for the hot tag. The Big Red Machine enters the ring full of fury as he unloads with punches on Regal. Kane throws him to the ground, and then heads to the top rope. Kane connects with a clothesline from the top! Kane picks up Regal looking for the Chokeslam, but Jackson breaks it up, and then pulls Kane to the outside.

In the middle of the ring, Christian looks for the Killswitch on Regal, but he counters. Christian kicks him in the gut and tries again, but right as he is turning the move around Jackson tags Regal! William is hit with the Killswitch, but it doesn’t matter because Jackson is the legal man! Ezekiel charges in and connects with his finisher!

Shelton Benjamin is cutting a promo in the back about the Royal Rumble, but gets caught off guard as Vance Archer runs in and takes him out. Archers says that all Shelton talks about are hopes and dreams, because that is all that he has. Archer tells us that what just happened IS reality.

Yoshi heads to the top rope, and connects with a spinning wheel kick from the top. All hell breaks loose as everyone charges into the ring.

DX appeared on SD and Punk's Straight Edge Society tries to shave HHH's hair off. I seriously love this angle. It's really crap that Jericho jobbed again, this time to R-Truth

Smackdown looks ****ing immsense.. cant wait too see it..:cool:

sounds good

Jolt2007

Sounds rubbish! No tag title match as promised for no good reason, Jericho jobbing AGAIN, my beautiful boy Morrison jobbing AGAIN, DX all over the place ( I don't mind them that much but I get more than enough of my fill on Raw), the McCool/Layla segment sounds like it's channel changing awful and I don't see what possible good HHH getting the upper hand on Batista twice accomplishes unless they're leading to a Mania match between them.

I tried to be more possitive this year about wrestling stuff and couldn't last a month :pac:

While it does look good, why did they cancel the tag titles match? I mean, while it should be good seeing HBK Vs Mysterio and HHH Vs Punk (with the head shaving), and the interferences by Batista, they announced the tag title match on Raw..... one day before.

Raw filmed live on monday, tag title match confirmed
SD filmed on tuesday, tag title match cancelled

No real need for it.

That being said, it does sound good

Exactly, but it had been built up. They announced the match for Smackdown. It makes no sense because HBK Vs Mysterio and HHH Vs Punk are 2 matches I (and probably a lot of fans) would prefer to see rather than the tag match. So they should have announced those matches on Raw rather than a tag match that they probably knew they weren't going to have.

As the tag champs, DX can appear on any show. They didn't need to announce the tag title match in order to get them on Smackdown, then cancel the match, they could have just shown up on SD anyway.

Straightedge are still entitled to their title match, so it's a moot point I guess. Just bugged me a little.

citytillidie

Maybe they can put something into Superstars to explain the non tag match, like Punk calling out HHH

I dont understand why WWE are giving away Punk and HHHs first match together on free TV with no build up.. but im still looking forward to seeing it:p

I hope Straightedge get their title match soon

Why did DX just stand there and not do anything to Punk and Serena in the ring? Were they memerised by her beauty?
