Cincinnati, Ohio
Report by: Carl Walsh of PowerWrestling.com
WWE Smackdown! Opener:
Smackdown opened up taking a look back to last week with Rey Mysterio winning the number one contenders tournament to earn the right to face the Great Khali for the World Heavyweight Championship at Unforgiven. The fireworks then went off in the arena for the start of the show as Michael Cole and John Bradshaw Layfield welcome us to Cincinnati, Ohio! Tonight, Rey Mysterio takes on Chavo Guerrero in an I Quit Match, and Kane and Batista will team against the Great Khali and Finlay in a Saturday Night's Main Event rematch!
In the arena:
MVP's music is playing as he comes to the ring for the VIP Lounge. He welcomes us to the show as the United States Champion and one half of the Tag Team Champions, he's half a man, he's half amazing, he's Montel Vontavious Porter, he's MVP. He said not only is he the host tonight, but he is also the guest. He said the guests tonight are himself and Matt Hardy, the new WWE Tag Team Champions. With that, the music of Matt Hardy hit in the arena as he made his way to the ring as the other half of the Tag Team Champions. Matt takes a seat and MVP welcomes him to the VIP Lounge. MVP said he elevated Matt to championship status, because he is better than Matt Hardy. We see footage of last week with MVP stealing the win the Tag Title Match. Matt said that was incredible. Matt says he knows that everyone knows what went down in the match, but what everyone doesn't know is what happened backstage afterwards. We see footage of MVP on the phone with both Tag Titles, bragging about winning the titles by himself. Matt Hardy comes in and asks MVP who he thinks he is. MVP tells Matt to follow his lead because he is spectacular, and he has vision. Matt then decked MVP with a right hand and took his tag title belt, and asked MVP if he saw that coming. Back to the VIP Lounge and Matt says he kind of looked like Evander Holyfield there. He said maybe MVP should change his catchphrase to "Better than who?" Matt says he wants a one on one match for the United States Title at Unforgiven. MVP said he wishes that Matt told him that earlier. MVP then calls for a referee, and one comes running down. MVP said he doesn't want to fight with Matt. MVP said Deuce and Domino challenged them for the Tag Titles at Unforgiven, and he accepted that challenge as the team captain. MVP said he got Matt a match for tonight. MVP said he stands to make a lot of money, so with Matt being the guy he is, always up for a challenge, so he got him a match against Deuce as a warm up for Unforgiven. Matt Hardy doesn't look happy here, as he wanted a US Title Match at Unforgiven, and didn't want to be defending the Tag Titles there. They started clearing the set and this match is up next.
Tonight:
The Cruiserweight Title is on the line as Hornswoggle defends against Jamie Noble.
Referee: Charles Robinson
Matt Hardy vs. Deuce
The start:
The match is already underway as we come back from commercial, and Matt is wrestling in his jeans. Deuce is in control, working Matt over in the corner. Matt shoved Deuce off as Domino and Cherry look on at ringside. Deuce takes Matt down for a one count. Hardy sends Deuce head first to the corner as the fans chanted for Matt Hardy. Hardy hit a big clothesline for a two count and then locked in a side headlock. Deuce sent him to the ropes and went for a hip toss but Matt blocked and hit one of his own.

Deuce locked in a rear chin lock, but Hardy again fought out, backing Deuce to the corner. Deuce came back with a right hand and then perched Matt on the top rope. Deuce hit more right hands and then went up for a superplex, but Matt hit some rights of his own, and knocked him down to the canvas. Matt came off the middle rope with an elbow to the back of the head, and then followed up with the side effect for a two count.
The Finish:
Matt sent Deuce to the corner and hit a running clothesline and went for a bulldog, but Deuce blocked and then both men clotheslined each other. Matt is up first and Domino got on the apron to distract Matt. MVP went over and pulled Domino off the apron.

Jamie has a rope and as soon as he crawls under there, he'll pull the rope and he'll have caught a leprechaun! Shannon laughs and Jamie said he better not mess this up.

In the arena:
The Smackdown broadcast is interrupted as Michael Cole and JBL are plugging this Monday's RAW, and the feed is overtaken by the Undertaker return montage, with shots of Death Valley and the Undertaker standing tall once again. A gong then hits in the arena and the lights go purple, and there is a druid standing in the ring as Mark Henry's music hit. Henry gets into the ring and puts his hands on the druid.

It's time for the I Quit Match as Chavo Guerrero makes his way down to the ring with a steel chair in hand. Chavo made this challenge, and he has to be looking to take Rey out in the same way that he did 11 months ago. Chavo gets on the mic and said he is holding a piece of Rey Mysterio's past, but it is also a piece of his future. He said it was a chair like this one that put Rey out for over a year. It was a chair like this that he smashed over his knee over and over again, and made Rey scream that he quits. Chavo said he asked for an I Quit Match, and he is going to smash Rey's hopes and dreams of becoming the World Champion at Unforgiven.

We go to commercial, and when we come back, Rey Mysterio makes his way to the ring, looking for redemption and revenge, and we are set to go!

Chavo wrapped Rey's leg around the top rope and wrenched away at it. Chavo grabbed the chair and nailed Rey in the back with it.
Chavo stood the chair up in the ring and dragged Rey towards it, and then went for a move, but Rey reversed into a bulldog, sending Chavo head first into the chair! Rey wedged the chair between the top and middle rope, and then sent Chavo head first into it with a legsweep. Rey hit a 619 into the chair and the head of Chavo. Rey came off the top with a springboard to try and finish Chavo, but Chavo threw the chair at Rey in mid air as we go to commercial. Back on Smackdown and Chavo is in control with a single leg crab. Chavo has a chair and stands it up near the ropes. He stands another one next to it. Chavo goes for a powerbomb through the chairs but Rey fights out of it. Chavo slid Rey under the bottom rope, sternum first to the floor.

Rey now has the chair and stands it up in the ring. Rey kicked Chavo right in the head and then went up top. Mysterio hit a seated senton off the top onto Chavo and the chair.

Rey hit some right hands to Chavo and then grabbed the chair and knocked Chavo right in the head with it. Chavo is caught in the ropes, hanging on the outside of the ring. Rey unloaded on the knee of Chavo with the steel chair as Chavo is screaming in pain. Chavo quits!
Winner - Rey Mysterio
The Aftermath:
Rey Mysterio celebrated his huge win, and he gets revenge on Chavo Guerrero one year in the making! The music of the World Heavyweight Champion then hit as the Great Khali made his way to the ring, and Rey Mysterio faces this man in just over a week. Rey runs at Khali with a dropkick but then runs into a big boot from Khali. Khali stalked Rey Mysterio and put him in the head vice. Khali picks Rey up by the head and Rey is bleeding from the mouth. Oh my. Khali has squished Rey Mysterio. Batista's music then hit and he unloaded on Khali. Batista hit Khali with the World Title and then nailed him with the spear. Khali bailed to the outside. Batista checked on Rey and the announcers are in serious mode, and Rey is out of it. Backstage, and Khali and Runjin seem very pleased with their actions and Teddy Long comes up to them. Long said if Mysterio can make it to Unforgiven, he will have the help of another man, Batista! Khali and Singh are pissed as the EMT's hit the ring to check on Rey.
