Detailed Results
TV Rating
2.7

Tonight's show opens with Mr. Kennedy, who did what he set out to do and won the Money in the Bank ladder match at Wrestlemania. Footage is shown of the match, including a Green Bay Plunge off the ladder to Hornswoggle, who tried to help Finlay. Kennedy now wants to be known as Mr. Money in the Bank. However, it seems as though there's still someone from that match that wants a piece of him......

Teddy Long is sharing a tender moment with Kristal, who gives him a card. Awwwwwww. Kennedy comes in and demands a match----with Hornswoggle. Long grants it for next week, but hooks Kennedy with a swerve and makes it a handicap. Kennedy vs. Hornswoggle & Finlay. Crowd popped for the Fighting Irishman, so a face turn may be nigh. Meanwhile, Timbaland completes his tour of Planet WWE this week by meeting with Ashley. Jillian Hall shows up and tries to curry favor with the rapper-producer by auditioning a song she supposedly wrote. Looked like she and Timbaland were both doing the Carlton Banks dance for a second, but that wasn't the case. Ashley & Timbaland left together, unimpressed with Jillian.

Chris Benoit vs. Mike Mizanin (Non-title). This just in. JBL still hates the Miz. Calls him a rodeo clown. Benoit & Mizanin have collectively had a grand total of 2 matches in the last six weeks. Benoit was in both of those matches. However, Miz has something to prove, and turns in a very strong showing, his best effort to date. Turning point comes when Benoit sets up for the Air Canada, but Montel Porter, hiding at ringside, pulls Miz out of the line of fire. Benoit crashes & burns, and Miz crawls over for the cover, unaware of the help he got. Clearly, the Most Vacuous Poser isn't done with Benoit despite losing at Wrestlemania. Some guys just don't get it. Winner: Mike Mizanin.

The same clips we've seen all week for Wrestlemania, "The Condemned", and the Hall of Fame are being shown----again. We also get a vidpack telling us that Mark Henry is on his way back. Latest word is that Henry packed on some pounds while recovering from his injury.

Queen Sharmell claims she was violated by Matt Hardy at Wrestlemania, so let's take one more look at Money in the Bank. The drama queen illegally entered the ring and nearly paid for it. Matt had her set for the Twist of Fate just as King Booker was about to claim the briefcase, and forced the former champion to make a decision, one that would ultimately change the course of the match in favor of Mr. Kennedy. None of this would've happened if Sharmell didn't get into the ring.

King Booker vs. Matt Hardy. Just like Jeff's match vs. Kennedy earlier, this one's a dandy. Where Kennedy & Jeff Hardy were similar in height and size, Matt is giving away a few inches to Booker. Doesn't matter in the final analysis, as Matt goes step for step with Booker. Sharmell gets in a slap, and a lame one at that. Matt countered a BookEnd into a Side Effect for 2. He kept trying for the Twist, but couldn't connect. Booker missed the axe kick, and tried to counter the Twist into a backslide, but Matt countered that into a small package and got the win. Winner: Matt Hardy. Post-match, Sharmell confronted her husband, upset over the loss, and walked out. He tried to reconcile things backstage, but she gave him a harder slap than the one Matt got.

Kane vs. Dave Taylor (w/William Regal). The match never got started. The Brits went after Big Red on the floor with some serious clubberin', to use a Dusty Rhodes term, and even threw in a chair. Kane beat them both down, tossed Regal over the barrier and into the front row, then sent Taylor over the announce table. Winner: None.

Brian Kendrick & Paul London (w/Ashley) vs. Gregory Helms & Chavo Guerrero (non-title). Deuce & Domino have dealt themselves right back into the title hunt. They're on the ramp watching the match from the safety of their convertible, which bears the license plate, "Purdue Thunder". Cherry's looking pretty fine herself. Another great match, best on the show. Helms & Guerrero have held the tag titles before, but with other partners, and looked like a pretty cohesive unit. The champs did a double suicide dive before the commercial, but the heel team took over during the break. The finish to this match will be highlight reel material for the rest of the year. Somehow, someway, the champions hit a combination electric chair suplex and Sliced Bread #2 on Helms, and London collected the fall. Winners: Brian Kendrick & Paul London. After the break, it was announced that Deuce & Domino would get a title match next week vs. London & Kendrick. We're also treated to a video montage of all 15 of Undertaker's wins at Wrestlemania.

The Deadman gets the same entrance he had on Sunday, with the druids on either side of the ramp lighting his path. He's ready to speak, but Batista shows up, and cuts the shortest promo of his career. He congratulates the new champ, and wants his rematch. Wish granted. Batista is barely back up the ramp before Booker is back out, attacking the champion. Big mistake. Undertaker clears the monitors off the announce table, then proceeds to tombstone Booker onto the table, which doesn't break. As the champion leaves, EMTs and Sharmell attend to Booker. They may be doing a slow, gradual transition toward turning Booker back face.
