COLUMBUS, Ohio To kick off SmackDown, fans at Ohio State University were treated to a blockbuster match-up that had all the makings for a main event that might normally cap off a night of action.
In an unlikely pairing, WWE Champion Triple H joined forces with his No Mercy opponent, Jeff Hardy, to take on Montel Vontavious Porter and The Brian Kendrick. Putting their differences aside, The Game and Hardy were able to earn a victory when The King of Kings nailed MVP with a Pedigree for the pinfall. (Watch | Photos)
After the win, Hardy and Triple H shook hands. But at No Mercy, animosity will reign as championship gold is on the line. No Mercy preview
Kozlov still undefeated Vladimir Kozlov had never encountered anyone like the 7-foot-3, 420-pound The Great Khali. In a clash of styles, the two beasts locked horns. But before a winner could be decided, Triple H rushed into the arena looking for some payback against the Moscow Mauler. Mayhem quickly ensued, as Khali and Kozlov attacked The Game. But No. 1 contender Hardy didnt like what he saw and came to help even the odds. (Watch | Photos)
Death in the air Fearful of what Undertaker might do to him again, Chavo Guerrero nervously entered into his match against Jimmy Wang Yang. Using a rolling wheel kick, Guerrero took down Yang to get the pinfall. But after the match, the house lights went out momentarily, sending Chavo into a panic. It was an ominous sign of things to come later in the night when Undertaker choked Chavo in GM Vickie Guerreros office, then suddenly appeared in the ring to decimate the GM with a hard-hitting Tombstone. The deadly maneuver left Guerrero on her back, with The Phenom hovering over her motionless body. (Watch | Photos)
New WWE Tag Team Champions The Family suffered another hit on the night, when Curt Hawkins & Zack Ryder lost their WWE Tag Team Championship to the brothers from San Juan, Carlito & Primo. (Watch | Photos)
Deadly duo In what could possibly be the sexiest tag team in WWE, newcomer Brie Bella paired up with Maria to take on Victoria and Natalya. But Victoria quickly showed who was boss when she tossed the undefeated Bella from the top rope to the arena floor. The stunned brunette crawled under the ring, but emerged from under the apron with new vigor and attacked Victoria. Next, Bella tagged in Maria, who flung herself from the top rope and used a cross body to drive Victoria to the canvas and get the pinfall. (Photos)
WWE's 1-2 Punch In the last SmackDown before moving to MyNetwork TV on Oct. 3, Jesse & Festus brought their MyMoving Co. van into the arena to pick up a few items from under the ring. While packing their van, we got a glimpse of a bound-and-gagged Ryan Braddock and Kenny Dykstra in the back of the van. What other surprises are in store when SmackDown makes the move to MyNetwork TV?

Latest on Batista taking time off Credit: Wrestling Observer
- Batista did request to take some time off shortly after Wrestlemania 24, but was talked out of it due to a lack of depth on the WWE talent roster. Apparently Batista feels he will never return to his status three years ago when he was the hottest star in the company, and his program with Triple H was a box office success. Batista has also talked about trying his luck in Hollywood.
WWE Monday Night RAW drew a 3.1 rating this week, up from the 2.6 the show drew last week. The first hour drew a 3.01, and the second hour drew a 3.09.
This Monday Night Football rating dropped from a 13.3 last week to an 8.9 this week, allowing for WWE to bounce back somewhat. Nevertheless, RAWs numbers are still down compared to what the show had been doing before football season. Fall competition from the NFL is nothing new to WWE, and they havent suffered a ratings drop like last weeks since before the Attitude era.
SmackDown superstar MVP did a Q&A with USA Today to promote WWE's move to MyNetworkTV next week. When asked what WWE superstar from the past or present that he'd like to wrestle, he said The Rock. He also said that while in prison several years ago, he learned to "believe in yourself because, prison is full of despair and hopelessness and its easy to give up on life."
Finlay def. Bam Neely Maryse def. Divas Champion Michelle McCool Non-title Mike Knox def. Chase Stevens John Morrison vs. The Miz Double count-out
COLUMBUS, OH - After The Dirt Sheets John Morrison and The Miz (WATCH "The Dirt Sheet") were forced to battle each other until neither Superstar could answer the referees count on ECW on Sci Fi, the undefeated Ricky Ortiz emerged to leave them both in the dust. (WATCH ECW's QUICK CUT)
The fuse was lit early on when the self-proclaimed Chick Magnet and the Tuesday Night Delight emerged with tremendous criticism of ECW General Manager Theodore Longs New Superstar Initiative, being particularly critical of Ortiz and fellow Initiative Superstar Evan Bourne. But, after proclaiming that either one of them could beat any other Superstar, Long thought it would be fitting that Miz and Morrison get in the ring against one another, with the winner facing Ortiz immediately afterward.
However, things never got that far. After Miz and Morrison grappled to an intense double count-out, leaving no opponent for Ortiz to face, the young Superstar refused to be denied. He emerged with gusto, splashing both of his potential adversaries and showing them just how tough Longs new Superstars really are. (WATCH | PHOTOS)
Strong words from a strong man Mark Henry appeared before the WWE Universe with some very strong words for ECW Champion Matt Hardy, reminding the WWE Universe that he has never been pinned by the reigning champion.

Irish eyes are smashing Chavo Guerrero was absent from ECW on Sci Fi after apparently being attacked by The Undertaker on SmackDown. But, Finlay showed little remorse, scoring a decisive victory over Bam Neely thanks to the luck of the Irish and a little lively distraction by Hornswoggle. When Neely grabbed the Belfast Brawlers offspring, Finlay demonstrated the full force of his shillelagh. (PHOTOS)
All-American beat down After being destroyed in a brutal match against the rough and ready Mike Knox, a nearly unconscious Chase Stevens was suddenly attacked by the All-American American Jack Swagger. But, when Tommy Dreamer rushed down to save Stevens from his smiling predator, Knox distracted the ECW Original long enough for Swagger to lay him out as well. (WATCH | PHOTOS)
A stunning victory In an aggressive, non-title match, Maryse stunned the Land of the Extreme by overcoming Divas Champion Michelle McCool with her devastating DDT. Has Maryse earned herself another championship opportunity?
Rey Mysterio is said to be on the verge of signing a deal with WWE, or has already done so, reports prowrestling.NET. WWE offered him a five-deal deal, but Mysterio opted for three. Last week, one source described his signing as "imminent." Mysterio also had talks with the AAA promotion out of Mexico. They were offering him a three-movie deal as they had an idea to make Mysterio a modern day version of El Santo - who was a movie star in Mexico as well as a legendary wrestler. During negotiations, Mysterio told WWE officials that he wants to be considered for a movie role with WWE Films. WWE also has plans to release a Mysterio autobiography.

CM Punk def. World Tag Team Champion Cody Rhodes Intercontinental Champion Santino Marella def. Deuce in a non-title match Kane def. Evan Bourne Kelly Kelly def. Women's Champion Beth Phoenix in a non-title match The Miz & John Morrizon def. Cryme Tyme World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho, JBL & Lance Cade def. Shawn Michaels & Batista
CINCINNATI Since July, General Manager Mike Adamle has been allowed to run Raw as he sees fit, but on Monday night, on Raws historic 800th episode, Shane McMahon made a surprise appearance, reversing one of Adamles decisions, and setting both the tone for the night and its main event: World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho & JBL vs. Shawn Michaels & Batista. (WATCH | PHOTOS)
The contest presaged two of the most anticipated matches of No Mercy: World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho vs. Shawn Michaels in a Ladder Match for the title, and Batista vs. JBL with No. 1 contender status being bestowed upon the winner. However, as is typical of Jerichos underhanded dealings, he convinced Adamle to exercise his authority and change the match set by Shane McMahon. The GM added the World Heavyweight Champions protégé, Lance Cade, as a third member of Jericho & JBLs team, tilting things in their favor. Though Michaels is known for fighting back against incredible odds, it was just too much for him, as his former student, Cade, pinned him, winning the match. (WATCH | PHOTOS)
Monster mash Though Kane was already scheduled to face off against ECWs Evan Bourne, that wasnt enough for him, as he approached GM Adamle, stating that he also wanted to face Rey Mysterio, who had been aided by Bourne in past weeks to cut the Big Red Monster down to size. With Shane McMahon looking on, Adamle granted the 7-footers request, setting Rey Mysterio vs. Kane as another one of the scintillating matches at No Mercy.
Though Air Bournes high-flying maneuvers had taken out Kane in the past, this week they just werent enough. The Big Red Monster defeated the ECW Superstar, and continued to beat on him even after the bell rang. Kanes No Mercy opponent, Rey Mysterio rushed to the ring to help Bourne, but even the Master of the 619 couldnt put a stop to the Big Red Monsters rampage. (WATCH | PHOTOS)
Hit the Rhodes, Jack While many Superstars are focused on No Mercy, some still have their minds set on Unforgiven. CM Punk had some words to share with Randy Orton because of the punt to the head he received courtesy of the Legend Killer, which ultimately caused him to lose the World Heavyweight Championship at Unforgiven. Despite the third-generation Superstars warning that anyone who touches him will be suspended by Mike Adamles decree, Punk hit the smug Orton anyway. Before the GM could suspend him though, Shane McMahon the fourth-generation Superstar pulled rank and reversed Adamles decision, then set a match between CM Punk and World Tag Team Champion Cody Rhodes.
Punk was victorious in the match-up, but directly afterward, Rhodes second-generation allies, fellow World Tag Team Champion Ted DiBiase and Manu, rushed the ring with ill intent. Before much damage could be done however, Kofi Kingston joined the fray, and helped Punk chase their adversaries from the ring. (PHOTOS)
Glam slam Though he was still nursing an injured face and bruised pride after his confrontation with Batista last week, Intercontinental Champion Santino Marella went on to defeat Deuce, continuing his not-yet-impressive five-week run holding the title. Before the match, however, Batista caught the Italian champion and his ladyfriend, Womens Champion Beth Phoenix, talking bad about him. Their loose lips would come back to haunt them later in the night, when The Glamazon took on Kelly Kelly. (PHOTOS)
In spite of the Womens Champions superior strength, Kelly Kelly scored a pin due to a botched distraction from Santino. Looking to exact revenge, the combined Glamarella were about to brutalize Kelly after the match when Batista himself ran in, spearing the Intercontinental Champion and defending the Diva.
Hard Tyme In one of Raws two tag team match-ups, Cryme Tyme squared off against former WWE Tag Team Champions The Miz & John Morrison. The contest was a result of the two teams taking shots at one another in their WWE.com Exclusive web-shows: Cryme Tymes Word Up and The Dirt Sheet with Miz & Morrison. Though Shad & JTG had hoped to shut up the arrogant ECW Superstars, it was the Shaman of Sexy & the self-proclaimed chick magnet who stood tall, picking up the win. (WATCH | PHOTOS)
Mr. (Im)Perfect Continuing his habit of impersonating other WWE Superstars, Charlie Haas took the opportunity to pay tribute to one of his heroes, WWE Hall of Famer Mr. Perfect. In an attempt to replicate some of Curt Hennigs famous athletic feats, Haas disguised himself as Mr. Perfect and played basketball, shot pool, danced, boxed and played air hockey poorly.
According to a fan in attendance at last night's SmackDown tapings in Columbus, Ohio, Undertaker appeared to aggravate a knee injury during the dark match main event.
He was attacked by Curt Hawkins, Zach Ryder and Bam Neely during his match with Big Show, but eventually cleared the ring. He posed for the crowd and walked for a few minutes before momentarily sitting down on the ring steps before heading to the back.
"Honestly, he looked pretty bad off," the fan in attendance said. "He was sitting there like he was so exhausted he couldn't make it up the ramp. He finally walked up the ramp, but he was limping pretty badly. It wasn't a little limp, it was very noticeable."
Of course, he could be selling the injury, but he was playing to the crowd before sitting down.
As reported earlier, he recently had his knee checked by doctors and WWE has been limiting his involvement in the ring since his match with Edge at SummerSlam. Taker has been appearing on television in non-wrestling segments and has been working tag matches for the most part so that his partner could handle most of the work in the ring. Undertaker has been telling friends that his knee is still tender and that there is some soreness.
