(A recap of the Thanksgiving Bash was on. Showing the new champion of Smackdown, Batista, holding the World Heavyweight Championship in the air. The camera then panned throughout the arena and then to the announce team Michael Cole and Tazz.)

COLE: Welcome to another exciting Friday Night Smackdown! 24 hours after the Thanksgiving Bash, and what a Pay Per View it was.

TAZZ: That's right Cole, and how about our new champion Batista?

COLE: That's right and also, the 5 man draft will also be taking place on Monday Night Raw. Things will change for Smackdown! that's for sure.

NO CHANCE

(McMahon came strutting out to the ring in his usual fashion with a big smirk on his face.)

COLE: Why is he so happy, his buddy lost the title last night.

(McMahon then entered the ring and took a microphone.)

MCMAHON: You know what; I bet a lot of people are thinking that Cena got the best of me by defeating the Undertaker and taking the WWE title.

(The fans began to chant Cena.)

MCMAHON: I'll tell you what though, I'm glad that Cena won, as a matter of fact I'm not mad at all. I congratulate Cena; I even gave the Undertaker the night off tonight.

TAZZ: How generous of the boss huh Cole?

COLE: Oh give me a break.

MCMAHON: I mean come on, it's Friday Night Smackdown!

(The fans began to cheer.)

MCMAHON: We have the new World Heavyweight Champion, BATISTA!

(Batista's music went off as the new World Heavyweight Champion came out on the stage the fans going nuts.)

COLE: And there he is, the new World Champion, look at this man.

TAZZ: This guy is a beast Cole; it's going to be great to have him on Smackdown.

(Batista stepped into the ring shaking hands with Vince McMahon, one of the stagehands then handed a microphone to Batista.)

MCMAHON: Batista let me be the first to welcome you to Smackdown!

BATISTA: Thanks, and let me be the first to say that here on Smackdown! I will be the best damn champ there has ever been.

(The fans began to cheer.)

BATISTA: And let me also state that anyone backstage that wants a title shot. Just come see me.

HEY!

(With that being said, the Legend Killer, Randy Orton came out with a mic in hand.)

MCMAHON: Orton?

ORTON: Mr. McMahon I know that my actions at Thanksgiving Bash can't be tolerated, but I did it to prove that I am the one and only Legend Killer!

COLE: You ambushed Hogan.

ORTON: But I can't back down from a challenge. Batista, you're the best damn champion to embrace Smackdown! huh?

BATISTA: That's right.

ORTON: That's because you haven't faced me.

TAZZ: Oh looks like something is going to go down tonight.

BATISTA: Is that so? You know Orton, there was always one thing that I remembered during the Evolution days.

ORTON: And what's that?

BATISTA: You always talked a big game.

(The fans went wild as Orton dropped his mic and headed down the ramp. At that same instant, Batista began undoing his shirt preparing for a battle.)

MCMAHON: Hold on just one minute dammit!

TAZZ: Let them go.

MCMAHON: I'll tell you what. Since tonight I'm feeling good, no, I'm feeling great. Smackdown! main event, Batista Orton, World Heavyweight Championship match!

COLE: Oh man Batista's first Smackdown title defense.

TAZZ: Batista's first defense altogether.

MCMAHON: Also, we have to address this vacant US Title, so I've decided there is going to be a tournament consisting of 16 superstars.

TAZZ: Oh man.

MCMAHON: And two of those matches will be decided tonight. Chris Masters vs. Eugene. And Chris Jericho vs. Rey Mysterio.

COLE: Looks like we have three great matches set up for Smackdown! tonight.

MCMAHON: Not only that, but the only 2 superstars who show me respect around here have requested that their title defense happen tonight.

COLE: Devils Advocate vs. Hassan and Daivari tonight, another great match.

MCMAHON: Now with that being said, let's get Smackdown! started!

(The ring then cleared as the first match of tonight was on its way to begin. A little Cruiserweight action between London and Chavo Guerrero started the night off.)

MATCH 1-Non Title-Singles Match

Paul London vs. Chavo Guerrero

Winner: Chavo Guerrero

Results: This was another fresh Cruiserweight match, the two were all over the ring trying to defeat one another, but London missed a clothesline ultimately leading to his demise when he soon felt the effects of the Gory Bomb.

(After the match Chavo grabbed the title and raised it in the air and then dropped it on the mat and walked backstage.)

COLE: I smell a Cruiserweight title match in the future.

TAZZ: I hear that Cole.

(After the ring was cleared, the Masterpiece, Chris Masters, came out to the ring with an over zealous smile on his face.)

COLE: What's he so happy about?

(Masters eventually grabbed a microphone as he began to speak, even chuckling a little.)

MASTERS: Ha ha ha, I have to face Eugene in a match. What a joke.

COLE: Oh come on.

MASTERS: I mean do you people seriously think someone like Eugene can beat the Masterpiece?

(The fans began to chant "MASTERS SUCKS"

MASTERS: I'll tell you what, if Eugene can successfully beat me in this tournament tonight, I'll leave Smackdown! for good.

TAZZ: Is he crazy?

COLE: No no Tazz, I like this, I hope Eugene puts his cocky butt in his place.

MASTERS: So Eugene….get out here!

(Eugene then came out as the second match of the night got underway.)

Match 2-United States Championship Tournament

Chris Masters vs. Eugene.

Winner: Eugene

Results: Masters had the match under control, dominating for the most part, but Eugene fooled him and wrapped him up in a small package getting the win. Masters was shocked.

TAZZ: I don't believe it, Chris Masters, the Masterpiece, he's gone.

(Eugene then grabbed a microphone, a shocked Masters walking up the ramp.)

EUGENE: Na-Na-Na-Na Hey Hey Hey Goodbye!

(The fans then began to join in on the song as Masters heaved and walked backstage.)

COLE: That's what the Masterpiece gets.

(After the ring cleared, the Tag Champs came down to the ring preparing for their tag match.)

Match 3-WWE Tag Team Championship Match

Hassan and Daivari© vs. Devils Advocate

Winners: Devils Advocate

Results: This tag match went on for quite a while, but ultimately ended when Jindrak and Daivari were fighting on the outside and Christian planted the Unprettier on Hassan.

(Jindrak and Christian celebrated in the ring as Jindrak grabbed a mic.)

JINDRAK: If it weren't for Vince McMahon, none of this would've been possible.

CHRISTIAN: That's right, we owe it all to Mr. McMahon.

COLE: Oh give a break, they're just a bunch of kiss ups.

TAZZ: But look where it got em Cole.

(The camera then panned backstage where Josh Matthews was with Chris Jericho.)

MATTHEWS: Jericho in a couple of minutes you go one on one with Mysterio. Winning this advances you into the tournament where you'll face Eugene….

JERICHO: Yeah yeah yeah, I know the drill Josh Cashews. Look, I'm fighting the smallest asshat in the WWE tonight, do you think I'm worried? I've had more trouble with fat girls wanting my autograph then I will with that midget. Now excuse Jake, I have a match to win.

COLE: Boy that Jericho let this whole rock star world get the best of him.

TAZZ: That's a good thing Cole. He has more confidence now then any other superstar I've ever seen in the ring.

COLE: Confidence? I call that arrogance.

BREAK THE WALLS DOWN

COLE: Where here he comes, let's get prepared for the tournament match.

Match 4-United States Championship Tournament

Chris Jericho vs. Rey Mysterio

Winner: Chris Jericho

Results: This was a really good match, it had excellent pacing, and the two superstars would stop at nothing to finish each other. Jericho got the upperhand when he locked the Walls of Jericho on Mysterio, Rey tried and tried to grab onto the ropes, but the pain was too immense and he ultimately ended up tapping out.

(The camera then panned backstage where Batista was shown working out in preparation for his match which was about to come up in a few short minutes.)

TAZZ: And there he is, the man of the hour, Batista.

COLE: This match is going to be one to remember that's for sure.

Main Event-World Heavyweight Championship Match

Batista© vs. Randy Orton

(The match started with a lock up, Batista getting the upperhand tossing Orton to the ground. Orton soon got up and immediately hit Batista with some hard forearms and then whipped him into the turnbuckle.)

COLE: I still can't believe what disrespect Orton showed last night at Thanksgiving Bash.

(Orton then went to grab Batista, but Batista however reversed and smashed Orton's head into the turnbuckle, Orton falling back.)

TAZZ: Oh man, the Animal is starting to unleash.

(Batista continued to dominate on Orton hitting him with a huge powerslam, however when Batista went to pick him up Orton kicked him off and immediately tried to get some offense.)

COLE: And Orton trying to make a comeback in this match.

TAZZ: They both realize what's on the line Cole, the Gold.

(Orton eventually got Batista back into the corner and began to stomp furiously into the chest of Batista.)

TAZZ: Look at Orton, he's trying to wear down the big man before he uses any huge moves, it's a smart tactic.

COLE: Smart it is, but will it win Orton the match?

(Batista out powered Orton and nailed him with a huge clothesline and went to pick him up. Orton however caught him with a surprise small package.)

COLE: And Orton might win this right here.

(The ref only got a one count and Batista immediately kicked out.

TAZZ: Not even close Cole, Orton is going to have to do way more work on Batista.

(Orton picked up Batista, but the Animal pushed him back and then nailed a huge Batista Bomb.)

COLE: Batista Bomb! Batista Bomb!

(Batista covered Orton, but then lifted him up shaking his head.)

TAZZ: I don't think Batista is done Cole.

(Several minutes later in the match Batista was still getting the best of Orton, so Orton slid out of the ring and draped Batista's head over the top rope, this making Batista a little groggy.)

COLE: What a coward's move.

TAZZ: But it's a smart man's tactic.

(Orton then ran in and caught Batista with a Schoolboy pin, still only getting a 1 count, so Orton then hit Batista with a couple of uppercuts and slid back out of the ring to regain his composure, but Batista surprised the arena when he jumped over the top rope and hit Orton with a surprise dive.)

COLE: The Animal just flew!

TAZZ: Oh man Cole, Batista is a beast.

(Batista then grabbed Orton and tossed him back into the ring and lifted him up for a backbreaker, but Orton reversed and hit Batista with Russian Leg Sweep. Orton lifted Batista up again, but Batista surprised him with another Batista Bomb.)

COLE: Another one, this match has to be over.

(The ref began to count, but noticed that Orton had a leg on the rope.)

TAZZ: Looks like Orton still has fight in him.

COLE: All I have to say is what a main event we have here on Smackdown!

(Batista lifted Orton up and nearly knocked his head off with a hard clothesline.)

TAZZ: Talk about whiplash.

(The two eventually took things outside the ring where Batista continued to dominate things. Batista then tossed Orton into the post, Orton falling to the ground, however what Batista didn't realize was that Orton grabbed a hold of a chair while Batista was taunting to the crowd.)

COLE: What the hell is Orton is doing?

(Batista went to pick up Orton and Orton nailed him in the head with the chair getting DQed.)

Winner: Batista.

(Even after the match, Orton continued to beat the holy hell out of Batista, eventually busting him open with a few more chair shots.)

COLE: Somebody stop this!

(Orton continued and continued beating Batista lifeless when REAL AMERICAN played over the PA system. Orton jumping up and the fans going wild, the music however stopped and no one never came out on stage, Orton giving a smile as he went back to beat the hell out of Batista.)

COLE: What kind of sick joke was that?

(The Real American music played again everyone knowing it was still part of Orton's joke, but this time Hulk Hogan came out on stage.)

COLE: It's HOGAN!

TAZZ: Orton look out!

(Hogan came rushing down the ramp and immediately went Orton hitting him with a barrage of right hands.)

COLE: Hogan getting some revenge from last night.

(Hogan eventually ran Orton up the ramp Orton collapsing from the surprise beat down he received. Hogan then grabbed a mic.)

HOGAN: I was so anxious to get in this ring brother and beat your ass that I just couldn't wait for the official draft announcement next week.

COLE: What!

TAZZ: Is he…?

HOGAN: Orton, you thought you'd get a little respect if you attacked the Hulkster at the Thanksgiving Bash? Well I'll tell you what brother, now that Hulkamania is going to be running wild on Smackdown, and the thousands of Hulkamaniacs will be behind me as I beat your ass. Whachu gonna do brother, when the Hulk runs wild on you?

COLE: He is Tazz, Hulk Hogan is part of Smackdown!

TAZZ: What a night Cole.

(Hogan then began to taunt in the ring doing his usual poses, the fans going nuts.)

COLE: Well I guess we're going to have to wait until next week to see what happens?

TAZZ: Man Hulk Hogan is the first pick; this is going to be huge!

(Friday Night Smackdown! then went off the air.)
