SmackDown! Results -- 11/28/02
Suspension be d**ned!

Stephanie McMahon put her foot down and disciplined Brock Lesnar, but that didn't keep the former champion ignored the order and let loose his most vicious attack yet on the Big Show!

After being placed on indefinite suspension by the SmackDown! general manager, Brock was shown racing away from the arena while a horde of security guards oversaw his departure. Rumors soon began to swirl, however, that Lesnar had purchased a ticket and made his way back into the arena. The rumors were proven true when Big Show was about to deliver a chokeslam to Moolah, who made an appearance on SmackDown! in her hometown of Columbia, S.C. Brock raced in and dropped Show, then hit a thunderous F-5 that sent the 7-foot-2, 500-pound behemoth through the announce table!

Scott Steiner alsde a huge impact on SmackDown! The Genetic Freak infuriated Jamie Noble by grabbing Nidia's ass backstage. Confronting Steiner in the ring ended up being disastrous for Noble. The former Cruiserweight Champion was clotheslined, elbowed and military pressed by Steiner with ease! After tossing Noble out of the ring, he grabbed Nidia's ass a second time for good measure! Steiner then made it known that he hasn't decided which show he will end up on, but until he makes up his mind, he'll be flexing his peaks and please his freaks!

Some hot in-ring action marked this memorable Thanksgiving episode of SmackDown! Los Guerreros found themselves struggling against Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit, so the WWE Tag Team Champions thought that letting themselves be counted out would allow them to safely retain their titles. However, referee Mike Chioda caught on to the ploy and foiled the plan by announcing that the match would not end with a count out! Los Guerrero reluctantly continued the match and pulled out a win after Chavo illegally hit a Frog Splash that allowed Eddie to pin Chavo!

Of course, Thanksgiving wouldn't be complete without a turkey, and SmackDown! found one in Al Wilson. Wilson appeared in the ring dressed as a turkey in support of his fiancee Dawn Marie in her Pilgrim Fashion Show with Torrie. Things got out of hand in a hurry and finished with Torrie dumping a pumpkin right on her arch rival's head!

**SPOILERS** WWE SmackDown! Taping Results
December 04, 2002

Part 1

The following report was written by RajahWWF.com:

Smackdown!

- They quickly run down the events of last week's Smackdown!, including Brock Lesnar's suspension.

- We're told that tonight there will be a fatal fourway #1 Contenders's match between Kurt Angle, Chris Benoit, Edge and Eddie Guerrero. The winner will face the Big Show at Armageddon!

- Albert def. Rey Mysterio. After the match, Albert beats up Rey and "injures" his knee with a chair. Eventually, Edge comes out for the save but the damage has been done. Mysterio gets helped to the back by officials.

- Backstage, Dawn Marie talks to Torrie Wilson, saying that Al is overseas but he isn't the only Wilson who she has feelings for. Dawn says that it's Torrie, she's watched Torrie's every single move and her admiration for her has grown. Her eyes are so beautiful and her body is vuluptuous. Torrie asks if the reason she was engaged to Al just to play him for a fool all over me? Dawn says that she loves Al, but how much does Torrie love Al? She has a proposition: if Torrie does something for her, she won't go through with the wedding. She'll be in Room 357, and she hopes Torrie will join her there. As much as they both appreciate the opposite sex, no one can make a woman feel as good as another woman...

- Funaki, Smackdown! #1 announcer, is with Bill DeMott. Funaki says he's a big fan of Tough Enough 3. DeMott tells him to cut the Rubbish, if he has something to say, say it. Tough Enough 3 was just a job, nothing more or less. He's worked too hard for 11 years to be interviewed by Funaki. It's not okay, he deserves better and with that, DeMott lays out Funaki.

- Backstage, they take Mysterio to the hospital, fearing that his knee is shattered.

- Stephanie McMahon heads to the ring and says she's horrified at what happened to Mysterio but Mysterio and other superstars sacrifice their bodies every night, just like she does. With that, we see a clip from Monday's Raw highlighting the Steiner ordeal. Steph says that she sacrificed herself to bring Steiner to Smackdown! and he'll be here next week to sign his contract. But tonight, she will make another sacrifice. She says she stands by her decision to suspend Brock Lesnar. Lesnar defied her authority and he is suffering the consequences. Tonight though, Brock will get to explain his side of the story but not in person rather via satellite. Stephanie leaves.

- Crash Holly def. Jamie Noble. After Noble loses, he pouts and says that next week, he will bring his cousin.

- Chris Benoit talks of his upcoming fatal fourway match tonight. All he's ever dreamed of is to become the #1 contender. He made sacrifices: his broken neck, his divorce, his kids who he rarely sees. He wants to be WWE champion but three men are standing in his way: Angle, Guerrero and Edge. He's been wrestling for 17 years, and he will use everything he knows to get through them to accomplish his goal since he was three years old: to become WWE champion.

Part 2

**SPOILERS** WWE SmackDown! Taping Results

- Bill DeMott def. Funaki. Before the match (and this surely won't air), Demott cuts an anti-Texas promo so the crowd boos him when he comes out; it seemed to work.

- Backstage, Eddie tells Chavo that it's a big night for the Guerreros. When Chavo becomes the Cruiserweight champion, he'll be so proud. And after he wins the fatal fourway, he'll be the #1 Contender. Chavo says he knows Eddie can beat the Big Show. Eddie asks Chavo if he realizes how proud the Guerrero family, especially Grandma Guerrero, will be if all this happens. Eddie says they need to focus and tonight they will start dominating and there will be no stopping them.

- Brock Interview. He says that he deserved what happened but that doesn't mean he hasn't learned from his mistakes. He will punish Heyman and his puppet, Big Show. They will find out what happens in stealing his prized possession; like Tazz said - he got raped for the title. As for Stephanie's accusation that Brock Lesnar screwed Brock Lesnar...at this point, Big Show's music hits. Heyman grabs a mic and asks him if he can call him Brock since they're so close. He's wanted to talk to him face-to-face - that title was taken away because he's just like a petulent child who keeps defying his parent. He needed a spanking and who better to do it than his client, the new WWE champion - The Big Show? Lesnar asks Heyman if he's done and Paul says he's hardly done. As much as he respects Stephanie, she was wrong - Brock didn't screw Brock. We screwed Brock Lesnar and we did it with malice and force! Not only did they screw Lesnar, they liked it! If they could turn back the clock to before Survivor Series when they came up with the plan, they'd do it all over again. Heyman says that he doesn't want Brock to lose his temper again so just sit back and enjoy the suspension, while watching the fatal fourway match to see who faces Big Show at Armageddon. Brock says that Show vs. either Angle, Benoit, Eddie or Edge sounds like one helluva match and he can't wait to see it - in person!

- Raw Retro: Shane buys WCW.

- Billy Kidman def. Chavo Guerrero to retain the WWE Cruiserweight title.

- Mark Loyd interviews Edge and says that we haven't heard any updates on Mysterio's situation yet but he'd like to get his thoughts on his upcoming match. Edge says that when he woke up this morning, his only goal was to become the #1 Contender, but after what Albert did to Mysterio, his focus has shifted a little bit. Tonight, he will use the match as an outlet for his aggression that he has for Albert.

- Hip Hop Challenge: Rikishi def. John Cena, I think. The rules are each man gets to do his thing and the audience would decide. Cena went first and spewed out a little rap, Rikishi followed it up by saying Cena is worse than Vanilla Ice, an Eminem wannabe and some other stuff including sucking up to the fans. Cena and B Squared didn't like it, so they beat Rikishi up but he fights back.

- Kurt Angle def. Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero & Edge in a fatal fourway to become the #1 Contender. All through the show it sounded like it would be a fatal fourway, but it ended up being an elimination match. Before the match, Edge got attacked by Albert, but made his way back for the match. Eddie got eliminated first, Benoit was out second. In the end, Kurt Angle pinned Edge to become the #1 contender. After the match, the Big Show assaulted Kurt Angle and the show ended with his music playing.

**SPOILERS** WWE SmackDown! Taping Results

Part 1

Thanks to RajahWWF.com for the following report:

- They show clips of Dawn Marie and Torrie Wilson from last week with Dawn inviting Torrie to her hotel room and Torrie showing up.

- They announce that Kurt Angle and Edge will team up to take on Big Show and Albert tonight while Scott Steiner will be present to sign his contract.

- B2 def. Rikishi. Chimmel messed up the introduction saying "John Cena accompanied by B2" so they re-do it. B2 controls most of the match. Rikishi tried for the Stinkface, but B2 low blowed him. Rikishi gets nailed in the head by a chain and is knocked unconscious for the pin.

- Backstage, Torrie Wilson talks to a woman and it is revealed that Dawn Marie has been spreading some rumors about what happened between the two last week in the hotel room. Torrie, upset, excuses herself and leaves. Tazz says that he's heard the rumors and they're hot.

- Michael Cole and Tazz talk about a recent Brock Lesnar autograph signing and how someone "big" asked Brock for his autograph. They say they will tell us after the commercial break, including footage...

- We come back and see footage of Lesnar's signing. Angle is in line to get an autograph. Brock asks him what he wants and Kurt says he'd like to talk with him. Kurt announces that Brock will take a 5-minute break. Angle says that they can help each other - he can get his suspension lifted and he can help him beat Big Show by being in his corner. Brock asks Kurt if he can't beat Show and Angle responds by saying even Brock couldn't beat Show with Paul Heyman in his corner. But if he agrees to be in his corner, he will be face to face with the men who screwed him. As long as Big Show is champion, Brock can't get a rematch but Kurt says if he wins, he'll give him the first shot. They both agree that they have thought about facing each other in a match and Kurt says Angle vs. Lesnar would be the greatest match in WWE history. If Brock will help him, he will return the favor. Brock responds by saying that if Angle can get his suspension lifted, he will consider it.

- Backstage, Paul Heyman talks to Albert and Show and says that tonight A-Train (Albert's new name) and Big Show and will go through Edge and Angle on their way to greatness. Josh Matthews interrupts and wants his thoughts on what just happened. Heyman has no idea what he's talking about and Matthews fills them in on the potential Angle-Lesnar tandem. Show says if these rumors are true, Heyman better fix them. Heyman tells Show to get his title and they'll go talk to Stephanie right now. This is what he's paid for.

- Backstage, Heyman meets Stephanie but Steph tells him to get out because she's busy with a private conversation. Heyman is kicked out but assures Show that he has everything under control.

- Demott cuts an interview and basically says he enjoys his work and likes beating people up.

- Bill DeMott def. Shannon Moore. Before the match, DeMott cuts another promo bashing the hometown fans which won't be shown on TV. They make a point during the commentary to push DeMott as a bully and an unhappy man. DeMott controls the whole match and wins easily.

[Stephanie McMahon's sidekick!]

Part 2, part 3 coming in the next post

- Backstage, Heyman finally gets back into Steph's office. Stephanie says that she's been busy with Scott Steiner and his signing. Heyman cuts to the chase and says that he's here to clarify a rumor about her reinstating Brock Lesnar. Stephanie says she has been considering it because Brock has kept within the terms of his suspension. Heyman asks her if she's out of her mind. Steph says she's aware of what Brock is capable of but she's the decision maker. Lesnar makes Smackdown! money and when he's not on, they lose money. She talked with Angle and her decision has been made - as of Armageddon, Brock Lesnar's suspension is lifted! Show gets angry and Steph dismisses them from her office.

- Eddie & Chavo Guerrero def. Chris Benoit & Billy Kidman to retain their tag team titles.

- I might have missed some stuff in here due to a technical difficulty, including anything of importance that happened in the last match. Again, if anyone can fill in with anything I missed, please send it in.

- Dawn Marie Interview. Before the interview, Torrie confronted Dawn and asked her to call off the marriage like she promised. Anyway, Dawn tells Al Wilson that the rumors he's heard are true, she did spend the night with Torrie. But everytime she looked into Torrie's eyes and everytime she kissed her, she felt as if she was looking into Al's eyes and kissing Al's lips. Torrie was her only connection to Al. Before she makes her statement, she needs to know how he feels about her. Al says that he still wants to marry Dawn. Dawn is thrilled and says she too wants to get married on Smackdown!. Torrie comes running down and attacks Dawn Marie. Al tries to get in the way but Torrie lets him have it too. Dawn takes a mic and says that on Sunday at Armageddon, she will show the whole world how much Torrie enjoyed her time in the hotel room, she will show the world what happened! Everyone will see exactly the type of person she is - a sexual predator.

- Crash def. Jamie Noble by DQ. Throughout the match, Cole and Tazz harp about Noble's losing streak and speculate about the identity of Noble's cousin, Nunzio. During the match, Nunzio does indeed show up and proceeds to beat the hell out of Crash. Nidia doesn't seem too happy to see Nunzio though.

- Scott Steiner arrives. Stephanie is told that he just arrived and asks to pass on a message to him: she'll be waiting in the ring with his exclusive Smackdown! contract.

- This Saturday on Confidential: The Rock speaks on his return to WWE.

[Stephanie McMahon's sidekick!]

Part 3

- Scott Steiner Interview. Steiner says that last week, Stephanie made some suggestive promises. They got into his limo and the cameras stopped rolling and nobody knows what happened next. What happened next was nothing. Steiner says that she broke all her promises to the Big Bad Booty Daddy but he can see in her eyes, her needs and wants. She wants to experience what it is like to be with a real man, she wants him - the Freakzilla. Stephanie interrupts and says that this isn't the time and place to get into promises. She's sorry he misunderstood but what she's offering is a signing bonus. Steiner grabs Stephanie and says let's make our own home movie. Stephanie says she has higher standards and morals than his freaks. She is first class and is all business. She is offering him an exclusive Smackdown! contract but chants of "very *friendly* person" drown her out. Steiner says she doesn't like her business. If he can't trust her in his personal life, how can he trust her in his career. She's nothing but a tease and has probably lied to many men in her life. He's not going to make this decision on his own so he asks the freaks out there if he can trust Stephanie. He says the freaks say hell no. Smackdown! is a great show and he'd love to be on it, but Stephanie is the reason he's not signing. He ends with: "Big Poppa Pump is your hookup ON RAW; Holla if you hear me!". Cole and Tazz finally realize that he's signing with Raw and Steiner leaves with Stephanie begging him to come back. Eric Bischoff pops in and leaves with Steiner.

- They show clips of A-Train injuring Rey Mysterio last week. We also speak to the doctor who performed Mysterio's knee surgery and he says that the injury might be "career threatening". Mysterio says it's his fault it happened, but he just wants to rehab the knee and come back and take care of business.

- Edge is interviewed saying that his roller coaster ride went off the track. He talks about Albert attacking him before his match last week and how he tore his MCL. But A-Train or Albert or whatever is in for one helluva beatdown. Angle comes by and says he wants to hear everything he says. They are partners tonight but they have a history. Edge asks Angle if he has his back. Kurt responds by saying that he's confident that he'll have his back just like he's confident that Brock Lesnar will have his back at Armageddon.

- They run over the Armageddon card: Dawn Marie/Torrie Wilson footage, Shawn Michaels vs. Triple H, Trish Stratus vs. Jacqueline vs. Victoria, Edge vs. A-Train, Chris Jericho & Christian vs. Dudley Boyz vs. Booker T & Goldust vs. Lance Storm & William Regal, Chris Benoit vs. Eddie Guerrero, Kane vs. Batista, and Kurt Angle vs. The Big Show with Brock Lesnar potentially in Angle's corner.

- Big Show & A-Train def. Edge & Kurt Angle. A-Train (Albert) has brand new music to go along with his new name. Finish saw Heyman interfere and help Big Show pin Angle for the victory. A-Train beats up Angle some more after the match.

The ultimate wrestling match is on!

The match that sports-entertainment fans have anxiously hoped would happen is set to go down next week when WWE Champion Kurt Angle faces Brock Lesnar on SmackDown!

After disposing of a feisty John Cena in this week's main-event match, Lesnar ordered Angle to face him in the ring. The sly champion and his manager Paul Heyman smirked backstage and told Brock he'd have to wait another day for the faceoff. But when Brock goaded the champ by sending Cena's knee crashing into the steel ring post after an F-5 -- the same way that Lesnar put Angle on crutches for several weeks -- an enraged Angle in fact went to the ring to confront the NCAA Champion. Angle said he was suffering from a sinus infection that would keep him out of action for the evening, but he couldn't wait to teach Brock a lesson next week. Lesnar couldn't wait that long. He ended up hurling shots on Angle and his understudies Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin!

Angle and Lesnar also found out that they'll be on opposite sides when No Way Out kicks off on Feb. 23. Stephanie McMahon announced that all three members of Team Angle will battle Lesnar, Edge and Chris Benoit in a Six-man Tag Team Match!

This incredible episode of SmackDown! was complete with an announcement by Playboy Magazine founder Hugh Hefner, who revealed that a SmackDown! Diva will soon grace the pages of the revealing magazine! The Divas will be getting even more exposure in the near future, thanks to Girls Gone Wild. A representative from that production formally invited Torrie Wilson to be at their next pay-per-view. He promised that the show will be very uncensored! The girls went wild on SmackDown!, though, as Torrie Wilson defeated Dawn Marie in a special Valentine's Day Bra & Panties Match!

Rikishi discovered what Nunzio meant when he issued a warning that his family would not allow itself to be disrespected. Nunzio called upon Chuck Palumbo and Johnny "The Bull" Stamboli to issue a savage beating on the Phat Man! Nunzio warned Rikishi again not to mess with the family!

The Undertaker was the recipient of yet another gift from the Big Show this week. When the Dead Man opened the oversized wooden crate this week, he was met with a singer dressed as Boy George who was singing a nails-on-chalkboard version of "Do you really want to hurt me?" The singer suddenly attacked the surprised Undertaker, and after the Phenom thwarted the attack, it was discovered that the impersonator was none other than Kanyon!

Matt Hardy lost eight pounds in one week in his effort to qualify for the cruiserweight division. However, his strict diet severely weakened him and contributed to his loss to Rey Mysterio! Nevertheless, Matt pledged to drop the remaining two pounds and defeat Billy Kidman for the Cruiserweight Championship!

Next week, Nathan Jones is set to make his first SmackDown! appearance when he grants a special interview. Find out what's behind this gigantic, maniacal ex-con and his arrival in WWE!

Smoke and mirrors foils Lesnar's title hopes

Paul Heyman wasn't at ringside, but that didn't stop Kurt Angle from devising an insidious plan to defeat Brock Lesnar on SmackDown! The Olympic gold medalist used a look-alike to do his dirty work for him.

Angle, who sported a red hooded sweatshirt, must have slipped out of the ring during Brock Lesnar's entrance. Someone who looked nearly identical to Angle took his place and got the beating of a lifetime. Brock seemed to have finished off "Kurt" with an F-5 and went for the pinfall when he realized that something was amiss. He bolted to his feet and went on alert, but was still caught off guard by the real Angle, who rolled the challenger up for the pinfall!

Angle immediately fled the scene while Brock tracked down the imposter. Brock vented his rage on the fake champion, even sending him crashing into the steel ring post with an F-5!

Team Angle was up to no good all night. Earlier in the evening, Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas thought they were pretty smart to break up a match that pitted Rhyno and Chris Benoit against Los Guerreros. The winner of that contest was to be given a title shot against Team Angle. But the no-contest that resulted by the champs' interference prompted Stephanie McMahon to put all three teams in the ring at WrestleMania in a Triple Threat Match for the WWE Tag Team Championship!

Mr. McMahon was more direct in dealing with his WrestleMania opponent, Hulk Hogan. Although the Hulkster was not in the arena, Mr. McMahon sent him a message. Vince said that after WrestleMania he will be devastated because he'll have killed his own creation: Hulkamania. Later, it was announced that Vince and Hulk will meet next week on SmackDown! to sign the contract that will make their WrestleMania showdown official!

In other action, Matt Hardy issued a challenge to any cruiserweight who wanted to get in the ring with him. To Hardy's surprise a competitor with a penguin masked entered the ring and gave him a workout. During the course of their frenetic match, the mask came off to reveal that Brian Kendrick as the challenger! When things started to turn against Matt, Shannon Moore pulled him from the ring and Kendrick was granted a win by a count out!

As promised, Torrie Wilson revealed the scorching hot cover of her on Playboy Magazine! If the cover is any indication (and it most definitely is!) the inside pages will be very revealing! Speaking of which, Sean O'Haire pulled Dawn Marie aside on SmackDown! and convinced the Diva that Torrie Wilson didn't have to be the only one to bare all. Dawn wowed the live crowd in Pittsburgh by opening up her blouse in the middle of the ring!

Superstars prepare for WrestleMania XIX

With WrestleMania just three days away, things couldn't get any more tense and heated on SmackDown!

John Cena didn't care that Brock Lesnar has a gigantic WWE Championship Match against Kurt Angle this Sunday on his mind. After disposing of Rikishi in a singles match, Cena went on the hunt for Lesnar backstage. Cena found the Next Big Thing but was quickly overpowered. That is, until Kurt Angle KOd Brock with a 2 x 4 to the back of the head! Will Lesnar turn around and break Angle's reign as the WWE Champion? Find out this Sunday when WrestleMania XIX kicks off live from SAFECO Field in Seattle!

Mr. McMahon has waited 20 years for this Sunday, and the WWE Chairman is ready and rarin' to go. Mr. McMahon was shown on SmackDown! sweating through a rigorous training regimen to prepare for his match against Hulk Hogan. It turns out that this won't be an ordinary match, however. These two volatile enemies will settle their differences in a Street Fight at WrestleMania!

Matt Hardy has momentum working in his favor heading into his Cruiserweight Championship defense against Rey Mysterio at WrestleMania. Version One, with Shannon Moore in his corner, pinned Rey Mysterio in a bone-crunching, wild tag team match that also featured Brian Kendrick. Mysterio may not be so easy to take down this Sunday. Whatever the outcome, their match at WrestleMania is one that can not be missed!

Los Guerreros also are taking a few wins with them into Seattle. Eddie triumphed over Charlie Haas while Chavo pinned Shelton Benjamin in two SmackDown! singles matches. Can Team Angle rebound and uphold their WWE Tag Team Titles? Find out this Sunday.

Lesnar, Big Show set for Judgment Day Stretcher Match!

The Big Show has a stretcher with Brock Lesnar's name on it, literally! This week on SmackDown!, a WWE Championship match was announced for Judgment Day. Big Show will take on Brock Lesnar in a Stretcher Match! In this confrontation, a winner will be declared only after one of the Superstars has been beaten so badly that he has to be placed on a gurney and wheeled out of the arena!

Mr. McMahon remained convinced that Mr. America was indeed Hulk Hogan. In an attempt to prove his theory, the WWE Chairman arranged to have Hulk Hogan appear live on SmackDown! via satellite from his home in Florida. That way, Vince thought, there would be no way Mr. America could appear on SmackDown! Vince even got Stephanie to admit that should Mr. America turn out to be Hogan, then his employment contract would be null and void.

Hogan appeared via satellite and admitted there were some similarities between the two, but he is much bigger. Mr. McMahon then gloated over the fact that Mr. America would not appear on the show, and refused to believe several people backstage who told him that Mr. America was indeed in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. It wasn't until Mr. America spoke from the center of the ring that an angry Mr. McMahon confronted the Superstar. Vince attacked Mr. America and attempted to remove his mask, but he was thrown inadvertently into Stephanie, who was knocked out and carried to the back by the patriotic Mr. America. Stephanie later blamed her father for causing the huge welt on her face!

Torrie Wilson quickly disposed of Dawn Marie in a singles match, then accepted a challenge from Sable. The two Divas will face each other in a Bikini Match at Judgment Day!

Team Angle managed to steal back Kurt Angle's Olympic gold medals momentarily on SmackDown! But after they pulled out a win over Rikishi and Tajiri, they turned around and watched in horror as Eddie and Chavo escaped through the crowd not only with the medals, but with the framed portrait of Kurt Angle as well!

Piper vs. Mr. America at Judgment Day

Mr. McMahon opened SmackDown! by asking for a volunteer to take on and "castrate" Mr. America this Sunday at Judgment Day. Although he didn't outright volunteer for the job, Rowdy Roddy Piper nonetheless found himself locked into a match with Mr. America this Sunday!

After Piper became exasperated by Mr. America's tough talk on Piper's Pit, the Hot Scot assaulted the Superstar and sent Sean O'Haire to silence a vocal fan at ringside who had been given a large American flag to wave from Mr. America. While O'Haire and Piper began ganging up on Hogan, this fan leapt into the ring and smacked Piper with the flag! O'Haire took the young man down, and an angry Piper pounced. While trying to pull the fan back into the ring to get a beating, Piper's face went white as a sheet as he ripped off the kid's prosthetic leg! Piper meekly laid the limb on the mat and slithered out of the ring. He found a red-faced Mr. McMahon backstage. The WWE Chairman was intensely concerned that the fan would sue his company because of Piper's action. As punishment, he ordered the Hot Scot to face Mr. America at Judgment Day.

Rey Mysterio's return to SmackDown! was nearly ruined by the Big Show. Show scooped up Mysterio during a backstage interview and brought him into the ring where he threatened to assault the high-flyer once again with a stretcher. But Mysterio battled back and held Show off long enough for Brock Lesnar to race down and wreck Big Show with an F-5! Mysterio and Lesnar celebrated as the WWE Champion watched his angry Judgment Day opponent vow revenge this Sunday.

Sable and Torrie, who are locked into their own showdown at Judgment Day, each gave a taste of what lies in store this Sunday during their Bikini Challenge. After revealing her skimpy bikini, Torrie hinted that she may reveal a lot more than that on pay-per-view!

Eddie Guerrero found himself without Chavo at ringside when he faced Shelton Benjamin. Latino Heat wasn't alone, though.

SmackDown! Results -- 05/23/03 (24th May in the UK)
Dead Man returns; Mr. America’s identity on the verge of exposure!

SmackDown! was reelin’ and rockin’ at the historic Greensboro Coliseum this week, as fans witnessed the return of a legend and the triumph of WWE’s black hearted chairman!

After weeks away from the ring thanks to a vicious assault from the Full Blooded Italians, Undertaker burst back on to the scene without missing a beat! Right out of the gate, his unfortunate victims were none other than the FBI, who were laying a Brooklyn-style beat-down on WWE Champion Brock Lesnar when the Dead Man stormed to the ring and made the save.

Does this mean that Brock and the ‘Taker, formerly bitter enemies, are now on the same page? Or was ‘Taker simply looking for some good old-fashioned revenge? Hopefully, the answer will soon be made clear.

A count-out victory for Sean O’Haire over Mr. America means that the star-spangled Superstar will be forced to take a lie detector test next week on SmackDown!, as per Vince McMahon’s pre-match stipulation. Mr. McMahon, still insisting that Mr. America is actually Hulk Hogan, will have the chance to prove it to the world next week!

It was Mr. America’s good nature that caused his downfall, as the count out occurred when he was outside the ring trying to prevent Zach Gowen, his young handicapped supporter, from being arrested at the behest of McMahon for his “assault” on the chairman last Sunday at Judgment Day.

Also on the show, Rey Mysterio earned a shot at Cruiserweight Champion Matt Hardy when he defeated both of Matt’s disciples, Shannon Moore and Crash, in a Handicap Match. The master of Mattitude was less than pleased, and put a hurting on both his followers after the bout. And Eddie Guerrero & Tajiri successfully defended their newly won WWE Tag Team Championship against Team Angle thanks to Eddie’s “lying, cheating and stealing” tactics.

The program also featured an in-depth interview with the inspirational Zach Gowen, conducted by SmackDown! General Manager Stephanie McMahon, in which Gowen declared his dream of one day becoming a wrestler, despite only having one leg.

Sable took exception to Tazz’s choice of Torrie Wilson as the bikini contest winner last Sunday at Judgment Day, and expressed her anger by pouring water all over the announcer’s head! And finally, the announcement has been officially made: Kurt Angle will make his anticipated return to SmackDown! in two weeks!
