WWE Smackdown! Results - 11/16/07
Wichtia, Kansas
Report By: Greg Parks of PWTorch.com
WWE Smackdown! Opener:
A video package aired previewing Mark Henry vs. Batista set for tonight. JBL and Michael Cole intro the program and talked about Batista requesting his match with Henry be no disqualification.
Non Title Match
Referee: Jim Korderas
Finlay vs. Jeff Hardy (c)
The start:
The Intercontinental Title is not on the line here. Crowd is really into this one, despite the slow opening minute. Hardy threw Finlay to the outside and hit him with a baseball slide, then jumped over the top rope onto his opponent. Back in, a cover only got one for Jeff. Finlay dodged a Hardy charged by propelling him shoulder-first into the steel post. Kick to the head Finlay, followed by a rear chin-lock. Hard clothesline by the Irishman caught Hardy coming off the ropes.
The Finish:
A rare dropkick by Finlay stopped a brief spurt of momentum by Jeff. Finlay dominated the match until Jeff hit Whisper in the Wind, and both men were down. Jeff dropkicked Finlay into the corner where Finlay put the shillaleigh, and Finlay tried to use it. He ended up getting DQ’d for it, and Jeff disposed of Finlay to the outside.
Winner by disqualification, the Intercontinental Champion, Jeff Hardy
In the arena:
Undertaker came out for his interview. He noted that he has been in Hell in a Cell for times than anyone else and no one has ever come out of that match the same. Taker said Batista would lose the championship at Survivor Series. He said the champ won’t survive Hell in a Cell, but he would...rest in peace.
Referee: Charles Robinson
Torrie Wilson and Mickie James vs. Victoria and Beth Phoenix
Victoria and Mickie went at it first. Mickie rolled Victoria up for a near-fall. Beth hit a cheap-shot on Mickie, distracting her long enough for Victoria to take over on offense. Beth tagged in and they put Mickie down with a double hair pull. Beth rammed her shoulder into Mickie’s gut in the corner, but missed a second time and that allowed Mickie to tag Torrie. Beth missed a charge and Torrie got a roll-up for two. Neckbreaker was reversed into a sidewalk slam by Beth. Victoria went after Mickie on the outside while Beth hit her finisher on Torrie for the win.
Winners - Beth Phoenix and Victoria
Backstage:
The Hardys were in the locker room backstage. Jeff was leaving as Matt was getting ready for his match. Matt seemed upset Jeff was leaving, but Jeff said he had some stuff to do. They were both smiling in the end, though.
In the arena:
Time for another edition of the VIP Lounge with MVP. Matt Hardy is his guest. Hasn’t he been the guest on like half of these segments? MVP said being tag champ was truly one of the highlights of his career. Matt asked why MVP could allow what happened Monday with Jeff and Mr. Kennedy to happen. MVP explained it as he was in the spirit of competition and had no choice. Matt questioned when the last time MVP had defended his US Title. Hardy said MVP has intentionally been distracted with the tag titles so as not to have to give Matt another shot. Interesting theory. MVP said their friendship was more important. Matt broke the bad news to Porter: They’re not friends, never have been and never will be. The official challenge was made to MVP by Matt for tonight. MVP said he can’t. He said they already scheduled a tag title defense tonight- right now, as a matter of fact. Man, I’m almost siding with MVP in this debate.
WWE Tag Team Championship Match
Referee: Mickey Hensen
John Morrison and The Miz vs. Matt Hardy and MVP (c)
Single-leg take-down on Miz by MVP got things started for the champs. Running boot by MVP but Porter came up lame. He tagged out to Matt. It appeared to be a right leg/knee injury for MVP. Morrison tagged and a distraction allowed Miz to get some offense in from the outside. Morrison targeted the left knee of Matt and both he and Miz worked on that part of the body. Hardy was able to hit a clothesline and tried to crawl over to MVP to make a tag. Morrison got up to tweak Matt’s knee and stop him from tagging. After another tag, Matt went to hit the Twist of Fate on Miz, but Morrison nailed his knee from behind and the cover was made for the victory.
Winners and new WWE Tag Team Champions, John Morrison and The Miz
The Aftermath:
MVP checked on Matt after the match. MVP invoked his re-match clause for right now. The champs started walking back to the ring as we hit a break.

Matt Hardy and MVP vs. John Morrison and The Miz (c)
The match was joined in progress with Miz and MVP in the ring. Cole questioned the decision for MVP to invoke the re-match clause when both challengers appeared injured. Matt tagged in and Miz went to work on the knee again. Hardy tried to fight out of the heel corner but Miz hit his neckbreaker. Matt was able to put his foot on the rope on a pin attempt. However, they continued working on Matt and finally got him to submit.
Winners and still WWE Tag Team Champions, John Morrison and The Miz
The Aftermath:
After the match, MVP helped Matt up, raised his hand...then attacked the leg. Ah, who didn’t see that coming? MVP took the knee brace of Matt off and started doing a number on the knee. Montel wasn’t limping during the attack, either, as the announcers noted. He brought the steel steps into the ring and dropped Matt knee-first onto them.
During the break:
During the break, referees helped Matt Hardy to the back.
Referee: Charles Robinson
Mr. Kennedy vs. Rey Mysterio
The start:
I think every match has started the exact same way tonight- lock-up, then to an arm-bar/arm-wringer. Rey got an arm-drag on Kennedy, but couldn’t follow up. Leg-scissor takedown by Rey, then a kick to the leg. Rey twirled Kennedy into position for the 619, but Kennedy escaped out of the ring. Kennedy went after the mask out of break, then he flipped Mysterio over his head, and Rey landed right on those injured ribs.
Mid-match notes:
Kennedy whipped Rey chest-first into the opposite turnbuckle, but garnered him only a two count. Leg-scissors locked in by Mr. Kennedy. Rey got to the rope to break it up, but Kennedy worked on him some more on the outside of the ring. Kennedy got Rey in the Torture Rack, though it was not called so by the announcers. I was expecting “shades of Lex Luger” from JBL. Kennedy caught Rey in mid-air, and Rey countered that with a spinning DDT. Rey got up and hit a head-scissor, then a cross-body for two. Seated senton by Rey but he couldn’t get the cover. Kick to the head, but only two again.
The Finish:
Kennedy regained his composure and hit a tilt-a-whirl back-breaker. Kennedy set Rey up for the rolling senton, but Rey flipped out and hit the 619. Again, Rey had to hesitate due to his injured ribs. He waited for Kennedy to get up to hit his finisher, but Kennedy stayed down. He got suckered in and thrown into the steel post. From the middle rope, Kennedy went for the rolling senton, but Rey countered wit ha hurricanrana for the win.
Winner - Rey Mysterio
In the arena:
Michael Cole emceed the weigh-in (and photo op!) between Hornswoggle and The Great Khali. Horny weighed in at 138 (and even that seems high) and Khali’s weight didn’t even register. Cole noted that Khali has, in the past, weighed in at as much as 420 pounds, good for a 280 pound difference. Khali, through Runjin Singh, said he wasn’t amused of the mockery Hornswoggle made of their match on Monday night. Singh ran down the list of wrestlers Khali has beaten and said Hornswoggle would be next. Cole then lined them up for a photo op for “all the photographers.” There were four of them. Horny was almost in tears through the whole thing. Cole thanked them and wished them both luck. Khali took Hornswoggle’s hat, crumpled it in his hand and threw it at Hornswoggle.
Non Title Match
No Disqualification Match
Mark Henry vs. Batista (c)
Batista unloaded with shoulders to the mid-section of Henry. He took Henry’s left arm and wrapped it around the ring post. Batista slammed Henry against the post several times. Henry was able to shrug Batista off, but Big Dave came back with a huge spinebuster. He went to the outside and grabbed the title belt. He waited, then belted Henry with it and picked up the win.
Winner, the World Heavyweight Champion, Batista
The Aftermath:
Batista’s assault wasn’t done. He sent Henry into the steel steps, then battered him at ringside. He choked Henry with a cable, then drove him head-first into the post again, and speared him. The champ picked up a steel chair at ringside and drove it into Henry’s back several times. Batista posed in the ring until Taker’s music hit. He didn’t come out though.
