WWE Smackdown taping
Roanoake, Va.
Report by Dot Net reader Ryan

Smackdown opened with strong promos from Jeff Hardy and C.M. Punk.

1. Jeff Hardy defeated Chris Jericho via countout. Mysterio interfered, causing Jericho to leave. Jericho was counted out. Hardy Wins.

Great Khali defeated Dolph Ziggler. A similar match to the one they had a couple weeks ago. Ziggler attacked Khali with a chair to cause a DQ.

3. Melina defeated Alicia Fox. Melina won clean. Michelle McCool attacked Melina as she was going for the title.

4. Edge beat John Morrison. It looks like edge is moving into a feud with Morrison. This should elevate Morrison to the next level. Expect this match at the Bash, although it wasn't announced. Awesome match! Smackdown rocks. Edge won clean with the spear.

5. Cryme Tyme and R-Truth defeated Charlie Haas, Shelton Benjamin, and Ricky Ortiz. An okay match. R-Truth pinned benjamin for the win.

Promos by Rey Mysterio and Jericho. As expected, it'll be belt vs mask at The Bash.

6. C.M. Punk pinned Rey Mysterio. Great match. Chris Jericho interfered, and then Punk hit the GTS on Mysterio for the win.

Smackdown ends!

Dark Match: Jeff Hardy and Rey Mysterio defeated Edge and Chris Jericho in a cage match.

Note: Great show! Smackdown is 10 times better than Raw. Its really sad. This should be moved to Thursday nights for the better TV night.
