Special thanks to WNW Readers Carlos, Ron Diuguid, David Mayorga, Cameron Stelly, and Kodi for assisting us with this report.

SmackDown: (Airing This Friday)
* The WWE ring crew is currently changing the set from ECW to SmackDown.
* Lots of Champaign on ice with glasses is being setup. The opening segment will contain Edge and La Familia.
* La Familia is in the ring. Vickie is getting lots of heat. She introduces to the crowd, the man who "banished" The Undertaker from WWE forever. Edge makes his way out to the ring.
* Edge dedicates his victory to La Familia. He uses the Jerry McGuire line on Vickie saying she completes him and that not only is he the new champ but he got rid of The Undertaker. He goes on to say he did him a favor by allowing him to leave with dignity and that Taker should thank him. He makes a toast to the Deadman saying may he rest in peace.
The lights go out teasing a Taker appearance. The lights come back on and reveal it was all a prank by Edge. Vickie announces her marriage to Edge for July 11th. Batista's music hits - He comes out as asks why he wasn't invited to the party. He goes on to say how he hopes they are happy together and congratulates them. He doesn't mean it. He challenges Edge for the World Heavyweight Championship. Vickie says No. She says for Batista to face Edge for the title he must win in an 8 man tag match tonight but she chooses Batista's three partners. If Edge wins, no more title shots for Batista ever.
* Finlay b. Chuck Palumbo in a Belfast Brawl via pin fall.
