SmackDown: 15/11/2001

SmackDown was live at the Pepsi Arena in Albany, New York, just three days before the 2001 Survivor Series.

The show opened with a Hardcore Championship match, as Rob Van Dam defended against Kane, in a battle of two of the 10 superstars in the "Winner Take All" match this Sunday! Ultimately, Kane went for the chokeslam, but Booker T ran down and hung Kane on the top rope. RVD went up top and nailed Kane in the face with a kick - and then picked up the pinfall to retain his title. After the bout, the Undertaker ran down to protect his brother from the Alliance members, who fled through the crowd.

Test was playing Xbox in his dressing room when Stacy Keibler walked in. She wanted to make sure that Test was ready for their six-man match, as Test was to team with the Dudley Boyz against Edge and the Hardy Boyz. Test said that he was ready, and Stacy told him that for the record, she always thought that he was better looking than Edge anyway. Test smiled arrogantly, and then looked in a mirror and said, "Like there was ever any doubt."

Chris Jericho walked into The Rock's locker room, and talked about how people thought he was going to hit him over the head with a steel chair on RAW, instead of just saving the People's Champion from a double-team at the hands of Stone Cold Steve Austin and Kurt Angle. Y2J said that he would indeed be on the same page as Rock until Survivor Series, saying he would lead Team WWF to victory. Rock then said, "Knock knock," and Jericho said, "Who's there?" Rock said, "The Rock," and Y2J said, "The Rock who?" leading Rock to answer, "The Rock who's gonna lead Team WWF to victory at Survivor Series, and The Rock who's gonna lay the smack down on Chris Jericho's candy ass!" The two men then shook hands, but Y2J held on for a little too long, and did a cool handshake for The Rock. The Rock laughed, and the two men shook hands again, this time with Rock doing a cool handshake of his own. As Rock walked away, Jericho exclaimed, "That's not cool!"

In six-man action, the Hardy Boyz and Edge - accompanied by Lita - took on the Dudley Boyz and Test, who were escorted to the ring by the Duchess of Dudleyville, Stacy Keibler. The match took place just three days before the Test-Edge and Dudleys-Hardys title-unification matches at Survivor Series. As the match began, the announcement was made that the winners of those respective matches will remain employed after Sunday, regardless of which side wins the "Winner Take All" match.

Edge picked up the win for his team, pinning D-Von after a spear. After the bout, Test drilled Edge in the face with a big boot. Lita knocked Stacy off the ring apron, but Stacy was caught by Matt Hardy! As Lita questioned what he was doing, Matt simply dropped Stacy to the ground! Then, despite Matt's warnings, Lita turned around, only to get a 3-D for her troubles! Bubba screamed, "See you in the cage!" as Matt checked on his girlfriend.

Moments later, Matt checked on Lita backstage, and promised her he would never let her get hurt again. Then he kissed her, but rolled his eyes as he did so!

Next up was the Bladewolf vs Diamond Dallas Page.

In the arena, DDP's theme hits to boos from the crowd and comes Diamond Dallas Page who makes his way down the ramp and gets into the ring, smiling from ear to ear as he mouths something before his theme dies down.

OOOOOOWHOOOOOO!

Dead Silent plays to a pop from the fans as smoke fills the stage, the lights dimming to a familiar sinister blood red and dark blue. Trish is standing on the stage in a dark robe, dressed in black leather pants and a black top, before the Bladewolf walks out, his WWF Tag Team Championship around his waist, and stands in front of her, facing the ring with a dark glare on his face.

Trish takes the robe off, then walks around him, running a hand seductively across his shoulders as she walks forward to the ring while singing.

"He is time... famine, war... pestilence you cannot endure..." Trish gets in the ring and seductively rubs her body against the ropes as she continues while getting more frantic by the second. "the end is here... the end is here! Fall and Pray! Fall and Pray! Fall and PRAY!"

The lights flash blood red repeatedly as Trish falls to her knees and moves out the way as Bladewolf appears in the ring, unleashing a primal yell as he stands under the flashing red lights while the songs repeats the 'fall and pray' part.

Bladewolf beats his chest in sync with the drum part of the theme and the song slowly ends as Trish slides between Bladewolf's legs and poses on her knees in front of him while her back is pressed against his knees.

The lights go to normal and Trish gets to her feet as Bladewolf takes off his coat followed by his short-sleeved shirt to reveal his ring gear underneath. Bladewolf hands his WWF Tag Team Championship to Trish, who gets out the ring, without taking his eyes off DDP.

The referee calls for the bell.

'Ding! Ding! Ding!'

DDP runs at Bladewolf... RIGHT INTO A SPEAR! Bladewolf jumps to his feet, grabs DDp, pulls him to his feet and lifts him onto his shoulders... BEFORE HE HITS THE FURY OF THE WOLF! HE HOOKS DDP'S LEGS! ONE! TWO! THREE! THE BLADEWOLF WINS!

'Ding! Ding! Ding!'

Dead Silent plays as Bladewolf gets to his feet and looks down at DDP before he gestures for someone to come out, and here comes the Jackal and Bloodwolf who make their way to the ring and roll in, surrounding DDP before they kick him out of the ring and the trio roll out of the ring.

Jackal and Bloodwolf grab DDP, set him onto Bladewolf's shoulders... AND THEY HIT A TRIPLE POWERBOMB THROUGH THE ANNOUNCE TABLE!

Bulletproof do their gun gesture then leave as SmackDown goes to commercial break...

And that's it for this chapter. Next one is Survivor Series.
