The bell rang and Kendrick and Chavo both went after Jimmy. They took him down with a double clothesline, then a double elbow drop. Their alliance was short lived because Chavo rolled up Kendrick for a 2 count. Chavo and Kendrick both got up and they both tried to dropkick each other. Jimmy got up, and hit Chavo with a dropkick.

Jimmy and Kendrick then began to double team Chavo, hitting him with a double dropkick. They picked Chavo up; double Irish whipped him against the ropes, and hit him with a double flapjack. This alliance was also short lived, because when Jimmy went to the turnbuckle to taunt the crowd, Kendrick caught him with the sliced bread #2. Before Kendrick could capitalize, Chavo came out of nowhere and hit Chavo with the Gory bomb. Chavo got cocky and taunted the crowd.

He decided to try for another Gory bomb, but it was broken up by Jimmy and his top rope Moonsault. Jimmy pinned Chavo, but Hardcore Holly pulled the ref out of the ring. Jimmy got off of Chavo and started yelling at Holly when Masters came from behind and Locked Jimmy in the Masterlock. Holly then entered the ring and gave Chavo an Alabama slam. Kendrick then ascended to the top rope, and hit the left turn at Albuquerque (turning frog splash) on Chavo and pinned him for the win.

"Here is your winner and the new Cruiserweight champion of the world, Brian Kendrick." Kendrick, Holly and Masters celebrated in the ring, when Randy Orton's music played and the "legend killer" made his way to the ring. Orton took Chimal's microphone and spoke.

"Hunter, I know you're watching at home, seeing as how you can't be here in person after what Rated RKO did to you at New Years Revolution, so I'll make this brief. Back in 2003 you established Evolution, a stable with the four greatest superstars on the Raw roster." He gestured to the three in the ring. "Well Hunter, this is the new Evolution, and unlike your Evolution which had to rely on the General Manager, mine won't." The four posed in the ring as Evolution's music plays. "I never thought I'd see the day when Evolution would come to Smackdown." Cole commented as Smackdown went to commercial.

The cameras were backstage where King Booker was sitting on his throne from last year's king of the ring. "This year, like last, will bring us the King of the ring tournament." Booker said "8 men will fight in a single elimination tournament, with the winner to become the new World Heavyweight champion. Last year, I defeated Matt Hardy, Kurt Angle, and Bobby Lashley to become king. I plan on being the second repeat king and no body, not even an opponent that I don't know, will stop me."

The cameras went back to ring side, where Chris Masters was already in the ring. "The following contest, scheduled for one fall, is for the vacant WWE United States championship. In the ring, from Los Angeles, CA, weighing in at 275 lbs, 'the masterpiece' Chris Masters." Chimal announced. Masters flexed his muscles and taunted the crowd.
