Ric Flair def. United States Champion MVP (Career Threatening Match, Non-title, Disqualification) Rey Mysterio & CM Punk def. World Heavyweight Champion Edge & ECW Champion Chavo Guerrero Finlay & Hornswoggle def. Deuce & Domino Curt Hawkins & Zack Ryder def. Jimmy Wang Yang & Shannon Moore Undertaker & Kane def. Big Daddy V & Mark Henry
READING, Pa. With General Manager Vickie Guerrero sidelined this week after being injured while protecting her lover Edge at Royal Rumble, Theodore Long was given the power on Friday Night SmackDown, and the Assistant GM wasted little time in making big moves involving No Way Out.
Claiming SmackDown would not be outdone by Raw, Long announced to our fans that there would be an unprecedented second Elimination Chamber Match on pay-per-view involving Superstars from SmackDown and ECW: Batista, Big Daddy V, MVP, The Great Khali, Finlay and Undertaker. (WATCH) The prize for the Superstar who comes out of the Chamber victorious at No Way Out: An opportunity at the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania XXIV. All six Chamber competitors saw action on Friday night, hoping to gain early momentum two weeks before the showdown in the sadistic structure. (More on this match...)
To hell and back Undertaker reunited with his brother Kane on SmackDown to defeat the team of Big Daddy V & Mark Henry. The Most Dominant Force in WWE and the Worlds Strongest Man were looking for revenge after last week when The Phenom took down Big Daddy V with a new submission maneuver a move Henry said had gone too far. Both Kane and The Deadman have had their difficulties with the dangerous duo of Big Daddy V & Henry in 2-on-1 assaults, but on SmackDown, the Brothers of Destruction evened the odds.
Unleashing the brutality they have exhibited repeatedly, the Brothers Grimm proved why they are one of the most intimidating duos in WWE history. Once more, Undertaker used his new submission maneuver, this time forcing Mark Henry to bleed from his mouth and submit, reminiscent of Big Daddy V last week.
If you can't beat em, really beat em In a Royal Rumble rematch, United States Champion and Chamber participant MVP looked to once again end the career of Ric Flair in a Career Threatening Match. This past Sunday, MVP was unsuccessful in his bid to be the man who beat the man into retirement. In his second opportunity to cement his place in sports-entertainment history, MVP again failed when he refused to break his reversal of Flairs Figure Four Leglock, causing the disqualification.
The Franchise Playa then delivered a vicious assault to the Nature Boy, leaving the 16-time World Champion injured. Will the Ballin Superstars beating put Flairs career in jeopardy when he faces Mr. Kennedy at No Way Out, or will Naitch show the resilience he has shown throughout his 35 years in sports-entertainment and keep wooing our fans? (WATCH)
True loyalty? After protecting Hornswoggle from harm in the Royal Rumble Match this past Sunday, Finlay, one of the six Superstars competing in the Elimination Chamber at No Way Out, teamed up with his pint-sized partner to defeat the reeling Deuce & Domino. Hornswoggle spent most of this past Sunday under the ring, but as Big Daddy V & Mark Henry prepared to destroy him, Finlay saved the little guy. When confronted by Mr. McMahon on SmackDown for his Rumble motives, the Irishman told the Chairman that his reasons were his loyalty and friendship to Hornswoggle.
Eves debut 2007 Diva Search Winner Eve made her debut on SmackDown, and the newest Divas first task was interviewing Batista about the upcoming Elimination Chamber Match at No Way Out. The Animal told Eve and our fans that he would win the match and go on to WrestleMania XXIV to challenge for the title. (WATCH)
Broken bonds One week after causing injury to his best friend, Chuck Palumbos apology to Michelle McCool seemed sincere, until Palumbo began blaming Jamie Noble for his actions last week. Chucks words werent what McCool wanted to hear, and the SmackDown Diva decided to make a statement of her own, slapping the revved-up Superstar across the face in the middle of the wrong and rejecting his apology. (WATCH)
Streak stopped Jimmy Wang Yang & Shannon Moore had been on an impressive winning streak over the past few weeks, but it ended at the hands of Curt Hawkins & Zack Ryder on SmackDown. Yang & Moore have quickly become one of the top tag teams in WWE, but Hawkins & Ryder have designs of their own to take over the tag division.
This is the face of a returning Superstar Jesse told our fans that next week, he and Festus will return to SmackDown. Festus has been out of action while receiving treatment for his bizarre personality condition. What will the duo do in their return to Friday nights and will Festus be cured? WWE Tag Team Champions The Miz & John Morrison speak out on Jesse & Festus' return. (WATCH)
Guerrero Family matters World Heavyweight Champion Edge was informed earlier in the night by Assistant GM Theodore Long that he would face Rey Mysterio at No Way Out in a rematch for the title. The Rated-R Superstar then teamed with ECW Champion Chavo Guerrero to take on Mysterio & CM Punk. This past Tuesday on ECW on Sci Fi, Punk attacked Guerrero during the ECW Champions fiesta, furthering their rivalry in the Land of the Extreme. The Master of the 619 & the Straightedge Superstar showed Edge & Chavo that their dreams of taking the gold from the respective champions have only intensified.

Despite being robbed of the ECW Title last week, the Straightedge Superstar got right back to his winning ways, as he was triumphant over Burke after a devastating GTS. Punks party continued later in the night when he crashed Chavo Guerreros Championship Fiesta.
This week's edition of Raw did a 3.9 cable rating, it's best number for a non-special since April 2, 2007, which was the show after last year's WrestleMania.
It certainly appears that curiosity from The Royal Rumble and John Cena's return spurred on the growth from last week's 3.5. The Cena factor is certainly borne out in the numbers as the first quarter hour of the show did a 4.31 cable rating, which was easily the best of the broadcast.
Overall, the first hour did a 4.05 while the second did a 3.69, so the only negative in the number is that they lost viewers as the show went on.
Former TNA Wrestling Superstar, "Wildcat" Chris Harris recently announced on his official website yesterday that he has signed a contract with World Wrestling Entertainment. The following was posted on wildcatchrisharris.com yesterday:
"Wildcat Chris Harris is officially announcing that he has signed with the WWE on January 29th."
-- Paul Burchill (with Katie Lea) defeated Nick Berk. Before the match, Katie took the mic and said that all she wants is to see her brother win. Burchill responded, "What Katie wants, Katie gets."
WWE Heat:
-- Charlie Haas defeated DH Smith by submission. At one point in the match, Haas put the mask on and Smith later removed it. Haas retrieved it and put it back on.
-- Hacksaw Duggan pinned The Highlanders' Robbie.
-- Trevor Murdoch pinned Super Crazy with a "slow motion Canadian Destroyer."
When John Cena had surgery four months ago to repair his torn pectoral muscle, WWE reported that the recovery time would be 6-9 months. Recent interviews by Cena confirmed that he was still on that same recovery schedule, which made last night's return at the Royal Rumble a huge surprise.
When John Cena and WWE received word that he was physically cleared to wrestle, they immediately decided to keep it a secret to mislead people as to his true health status.
News about Cena starring in the new WWE Films project "12 Rounds" is true. What wasn't true is the time it will take to film the movie. Cena told the UK Sun newspaper last week that it would take 5 months to film. In reality, this was greatly exaggerated. WWE has applied for permits to film in New Orleans, which will take 4-6 weeks.
Because Cena will be filming in the United States, he'll be able to make appearances on WWE television leading up to WrestleMania.

PHILADELPHIA Triple H is no fan of losing. So, when The Game got to choose his partner Monday night in a tag team match against Umaga & Snitsky, he went with the sure bet, reuniting with his DX compadre Shawn Michaels. But reunions can sometimes be bittersweet.
Even as the longtime friends showed solidarity and vanquished their foes, the pair knew all too well that in three weeks they will be trying to destroy each other at No Way Out. Earlier in the night, the two were chosen by Raw GM William Regal to compete with four other Superstars Umaga, Chris Jericho, JBL and Jeff Hardy in an Elimination Chamber Match at the pay-per-view, with the winner earning an opportunity to compete against the WWE Champion at WrestleMania XXIV.

Jeff Hardy was interviewed this week by Charleston's The Post and Carrier newspaper. Hardy revealed that his body is in real bad shape. "My ankles are really weak. A lot of that stems from motocross in the past. I've got a (bone) chip in my right kneecap now, pain in my elbows and two herniated discs in my neck and my back. I'm not feeling great, but I've been extremely lucky that I've gone this far without surgery. So I'll just keep knocking on metal or wood."
