SmackDown: 17/8/2000
SmackDown was live at the Worcester Centrum in Worcester, Massachusetts. Triple H, Kurt Angle, Shane McMahon and Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley all appeared to be on the same page after Monday's RAW. The four got in the ring as SmackDown went on the air, and again seemed to be united. Shane declared that there was nothing more important to a McMahon than family. He said that his sister, Stephanie; his brother in law, Triple H; and the members of his professional family, including Kurt Angle, were the most important people in his life. He said that despite the rough waters, the problem was solved. Shane then took the crowd back to RAW, and the image of him, Triple H and Angle holding their arms in the air, calling it the "2000 McMahon Christmas Card."
Stephanie then asked Triple H and Kurt to shake hands in the interest of friendship. Surprisingly, the men apologized to each other and then shook hands! The four then embraced in a group hug as the sound of screeching tires filled the arena … and Commissioner Mick Foley came out!
Foley unveiled his family's 2000 Christmas card … the images of Kurt Angle kissing Stephanie on RAW and Triple H watching on in disgust. Foley said that The Rock didn't have much Christmas cheer, and that the Great One wanted revenge after being triple-teamed on Monday night. Foley said that one of the four would face The Rock in a one-on-one non-title match that night, but they would have to decide amongst themselves who it would be – whether it be Shane, Triple H, Angle, or even Stephanie!
In the women's locker room, The Kat and Terri got into a shouting match, as The Kat vowed that she and her mystery partner could defeat Terri and Perry Saturn.
In the McMahon locker room, the foursome debated who would take on The Rock that night.
The Kat's mystery partner turned out to be Rikishi! Despite the 400-pounder, Terri and Perry were victorious when Terri pinned Kat after Saturn clotheslined The Kat. But after the match, Kat got even. With Terri and Perry both knocked out, Kat set up Terri in the corner, and Rikishi gave her a Stink Face!
Back in the McMahon locker room, Shane said that he would face The Rock. Agitated, Triple H and Kurt Angle walked out.
Next up, Val Venis defended his Intercontinental Championship against Eddie Guerrero. During the match, Chyna got involved, as Mamacita powerbombed Eddie onto the floor from the ring apron! Trish soon took Chyna out of the match, however, as she broke a glass water pitcher over Chyna's head! As Eddie watched, Val rolled him up to retain his title!
Back in the McMahon locker room, Stephanie told Shane that she should be the one to face The Rock! The Women's Champion said she had a plan to take out the Great One, champion vs. champion
Her head still hurting from the glass pitcher, Chyna barged into Mick Foley's office and demanded a match with Trish! Foley refused, saying Chyna would tear Stratus apart. But Foley did make a mixed tag-team match for SummerSlam, pitting Eddie and Chyna against Trish and Val Venis!
In a six-man match, the Acolytes and Crash faced the Big Boss Man and Kaientai. Midway through the match, the Boss Man walked out on his partners for no apparent reason! That left Taka and Funaki to the wolves, as Bradshaw and Faarooq demolished the Japanese superstars en route to the win, as Crash pinned Taka.
Triple H, Kurt Angle and Shane returned to the McMahon locker room and emphatically told Stephanie that she would not be facing The Rock. Shane said that it would be Triple H against The Rock, an announcement that didn't sit well with Angle. Angle questioned why Shane and Triple H had such a problem with him, and why they couldn't accept that he and Stephanie were just friends.
Chris Jericho came out to provide color commentary as his opponent for SummerSlam, Chris Benoit, challenged Steve Blackman for the Hardcore Title. Despite Blackman opening his entire arsenal of hardcore tricks, Benoit seemed to have the title won when he locked on the Crossface. But Jericho ran into the ring and smacked Benoit in the back of the head in a steel chair, allowing Blackman to retain his title with a pinfall win!
Stephanie chased Kurt Angle down as he walked out of the parking lot, about to leave the arena. Kurt said that he clearly wasn't wanted at the arena, and therefore, he was leaving.
With Buh Buh Ray Dudley still shaken up from the double-chairshot he suffered on Monday (and sporting a hell of a shiner), D-Von teamed with Jeff Hardy to take on Edge and Christian. When Jeff went for a Swanton Bomb on Edge, Edge was able to move and Jeff instead hit D-Von. Edge then pinned D-Von for the win. After the match, the Hardys and the Dudleys had to be pulled apart.
Backstage, the Bladewolf and Kane were shown, receiving boos from the crowd when they saw them. Kane was in his inverted red and black attire, while the Bladewolf had a black leather jacket over his ring attire, and was holding his black baseball bat. Both were clearly waiting for their brother, the Undertaker to arrive.
Eventually, Bladewolf stomped the crate he was sitting on and looked at Kane. "Let's do something to amuse ourselves until he arrives."
Kane nodded and the two left the area.
All seemed to be well between X-Pac and Road Dogg when DX took on Too Cool. But when Scotty was in trouble, the two couldn't agree on how to finish him off. X-Pac wanted to use the X-Factor, and the Dogg wanted to use the pump-handle slam. As the two shoved each other...
OOOOOOOOWWWWHHHHOOOOOOO!
Fire explodes on the stage as Kane's theme and out comes Kane and the Bladewolf to a mixed reaction from the crowd. Everyone was still wondering why they attacked their older brother, the Undertaker, and now they were coming out here with clear lethal intent.
As they hit the ring, Road Dogg came at them but Bladewolf slammed his bat into Road Dogg's midsection before grabbing him by the throat as Kane grabbed X-Pac by his. Together, they lift the duo up and... HIT DOUBLE CHOKESLAMS! Bladewolf didn't even drop his baseball bat.
Kane flips his hair out of his mask before grabbing a microphone as Bladewolf stands beside him with his bat leaning on his right shoulder.
"Why did we Chokeslam our brother?" Kane spoke the question that was on everyone's minds. "We accept what we are. What we always have been on the inside. We. Are. MONSTERS!"
Kane hands the microphone to the Bladewolf who rolls his shoulders. "What Kane means is we're what our brother, the Undertaker, created us to be. Two soulless monsters that only he controls to do his dark bidding. Now, we're free from his control and with our own hands, will take our lives back. No longer are we in your shadows, big brother. No longer are we living in your world. As of now, you're living in ours. And with our own hands, we'll take your soul and send it where you should've been long ago. To Burn…in…Hell!"
He throws the microphone down as Kane's theme played for them. They were about to leave when the Titantron showed the Undertaker backstage, wounded, but he was clearly making his way towards the ring.
Kane and the Bladewolf didn't need to wait long as the Undertaker's theme hits, and the American badass walks out despite officials trying to stop him. Wounded, but refusing to back down, the Undertaker storms into the ring and gets right in his brothers' faces, demanding answers from them as to why they did what they did on RAW.
However, Bladewolf and Kane refuse to speak and look away from their brother. Kane starts to turn away but Undertaker whips him back around. Still not getting his answers, Undertaker takes off his bandanna, and gestures for them to bring it before he shoves Kane's face.
This set the Bladewolf off as he blindsides the Undertaker with a vicious right hand before he gets on top of his brother and begins pummelling him with a fury of right hands. Kane turns and then begins stomping away on the Undertaker, who covers up as best as he can from his brothers' combined assault.
Bladewolf and Kane get their brother out of the ring and follow, with Kane clearing the announcer's table while Bladewolf continued stomping on the Undertaker before he grabs his baseball bat. Undertaker stumbles to his feet and turns... INTO A HEADHSOT FROM THE BASEBALL BAT! THE UNDERTAKER IS DOWN AND HE IS BUSTED OPEN BADLY!
Dropping the baseball bat, Bladewolf grabs Undertaker and brings him over to Kane. Together, they grab their brother by his throat, lift him up and... PLANT HIM THROUGH THE ANNOUNCE TABLE WITH A DOUBLE CHOKESLAM!
Kane's theme plays as the two stand over their fallen brother before they leave and SmackDown goes to commercial.
And that's it for this chapter, folks.
