TV Rating
2.8

No theme song tonight. No dedication to either Ernie Ladd or Arnold Skaaland, although the video tribute to the former is repeated from Raw later in the show.
We open with Miz TV. I guess they don't have anyone for Mike Mizanin to feud with for now, so he goes back to being a host. Talk show host, that is. This week's guest is World Champion Batista. Miz sucks up to Batista, then has the lights turned out as a prank. Not a smart move, and Big Dave lets him know about it with a Batista Bomb. JBL would say later he appreciated it. Batista's pinstriped suit looked like he might've borrowed that from Triple H.

Mr. Kennedy vs. Matt Hardy. Easily your match of the night. Hardy is coming off a disputed loss to King Booker last week, and now faces another of his Money in the Bank opponents. Hardy hit a double-sledge off the top, but came up limping. Kennedy capitalized on that, and at one point applied an Indian Deathlock. Hardy reversed, and Kennedy forced a rope break. Kennedy made one critical error, and that was going for the Kenton (Swanton) Bomb. Of course Matt got out of the way! That's the last guy Kennedy should be trying that move against. Despite continuing to sell the knee, Hardy still hit the Side Effect for 2, and countered a ground level Green Bay Plunge into the Twist of Fate for the sudden pinfall. Winner: Matt Hardy. Post-match, Kennedy tells Kristal that the loss doesn't bother him, because he's still going to win the Money in the Bank match.

MVP vs. El Grande Latte. Total squash, and they made it seem like Montel Porter hand-picked his opponent, claiming that Latte (actually rent-a-jobber Mike Deeg, who was on ECW on Tuesday) was the Honduran champion. Porter debuted the Playmaker (Matt Striker's Golden Rule) to end it. Winner: MVP. Post-match, Porter cut a promo claiming that he'd bring some prestige back to the US title and called Chris Benoit a coward. He had some nerve putting himself over Harley Race, Dusty Rhodes, and Ric Flair. Teddy Long, making his lone appearance of the evening, brought out Benoit, and that led to a brawl. Porter made his escape to avoid the crossface.

MNM (Mercury, Nitro, & Melina) vs. Ashley Massaro, Paul London, & Brian Kendrick. It was supposed to be a showcase previewing the women's title match at Wrestlemania. It was anything but, because when Ashley was tagged in, Melina refused to lock up, and immediately tagged out. However, the poser princess got in some cheap shots on Kendrick and hit a low blow on London to set up the Snapshot for the finish. There was a catfight after the match. The selfish, jealous champion needs to be put in her place once and for all. Winners: MNM..

Kane vs. Daivari. Coming out of a break, Daivari was already in the ring ranting in Farsi. The "Smack of the Night" was Khali's latest confrontation with Kane on Monday. Another squash, but instead of going for the pin, Kane tossed Daivari out and chokeslammed him on the steps, then pulled out the hook from "See No Evil" and dragged Daivari to the back, where he told Daivari to deliver a message to Khali. Winner: None.

King Booker & Queen Sharmell are backstage, and Finlay comes in looking for Hornswoggle. Booker asks for advice vs. Undertaker, which is lame in and of itself considering he feuded with UT last year. Finlay tells him to run. They leave, and Sharmell is left all alone. Hornswoggle finally shows up with a mug full of beer, wanting Sharmell to kiss him because he's Irish. She runs away screaming. Hornswoggle finally speaks on national television!

Undertaker vs. King Booker Batista returns to join the announcers for the main event. Not as good as past meetings between these two. It was even almost from the start, but nothing new. At one point, Undertaker paused to glare at Batista, and that allowed Booker to knock him off the apron and into the announce table. Undertaker came back and regained control of the match. He set up for the Last Ride, but then Finlay showed up and hit him in the back with the shillelagh. Winner: Undertaker via DQ. Booker & Finlay doubled on Undertaker post-match, but the Deadman made his own save. He threw Booker back into the ring, then sent Finlay crashing into Batista. Undertaker chokeslammed Booker and left. Batista then hit the ring, taking off his shades & necktie, but Undertaker continued on and raised his arm at the base of the ramp to end the show.
