Smackdown! Presents
WWE Velocity
JM: Hello and welcome to another exciting edition of Velocity, I am Josh Matthews.
TG: And I am Todd Grisham. We are just over one week away from the Royal Rumble! 30 men enter, only 1 will remain standing! It is the most exciting and anticipated match of the year.
JM: Well we kick off this Velocity with Christian coming to the ring. He and Randy Orton fought to a bloody double count-out finish yesterday on Smackdown! and Christian has a match tonight!
TG: Those two have been at each others throats since Christian joined Smackdown! and I dont think its going to end here.
Christian: A couple of weeks ago Randy Orton cheated his way to the United States Title. My United States title. Orton, I am not a man who forgets. If the only way you can get your hands on the title against the Peeps champ is through cheating then maybe you don't deserve the belt. To me, the proper thing for you to do would be to come here and give me my belt back! Come on Orton!
JM: Orton on his way down to the ring now! This is a potentially explosive situation!
TG: I would not like to be in that ring with these 2 men, I'm telling you that for nothing.
Orton: Yes, I cheated. You know, I know, every person in the damn stadium knows. And I am the one with the belt. You want the title? Here have it!
TG: Floors Christian with the belt!
JM: Huge shot there, that belt made with solid metal and smashed straight into the face of Christian! And now he poses over Christian
TM: You can see the dirty smile on Orton's face, he wanted to do that!

JM: We start our in-ring action now with a tag match set up between Carlito and Funaki and Joey Mercury and Gregory Helms. Because this is a tag match the winners will not recieve a Rumble place due to the limited places available, only 5 left.
TG: Be prepared for a quick athletic match with these men involved!
JM: Victory for Helms and Mercury in a brutal match there.
TG: They look to be a strong team, no doubts about that!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JM: Well now we recap the current feud between Edge and Ric Flair.
TG: It has been one exciting feud so far!
JM: Yes and it all started back in GM Chez's first Smackdown! show. He announced these 2 men as the contenders for the World Heavyweight title.
TG: Edge not only disrespected Flair, but cheated to win the title he still holds.
JM: The next week we saw Flair's strength as he shrugged off a spear, but later he couldn't shrug off Umaga's interference in a match deciding the champion going into the rumble.
TG: Yes, Umaga getting all involved and the next week they failed to harm Flair's partner to face them, Sabu.
JM: Despite having his partner, Edge and Umaga still won, by cheating once again.
TG: This week's Smackdown! could be explosive and lead to this feud coming to a head at the Rumble!

JM: We have our next match now as Christian faces Kennedy one on one.
JM: Orton attacking Christian for the second time tonight!
TG: Thats Orton showing his dominance over Christian, but both men look strong at the moment!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maria: Good evening all you stars and studs! I am with WWE Tag Team Champions, Styles and Daniels. Now, you guys attacked Brian Kendrick last week which I thought was really mean, why did you do it?
Styles: We are proving that we are the dominant Tag Team in WWE! We could beat anyone, any time, anywhere. And we will prove that.
Daniels: If anyone thinks they can beat us, they must be dlusional, because we will kick their asses!
Maria: And what do you think will happen between you two and London and Kendrick next?
Styles: This next week we are going to hand out the worst beating they will have ever faced, from our might.
JM: The intensity and drive is obvious in Styles and Daniels!
TG: They are 2 top wrestlers and you have got to be worried for London and Kendrick with these two lurking over them.
JM: They certainly have the ability to rise to the top of the WWE

JM: Now for our Velocity title to go on the line in a Triple Threat matchup, the champions King Booker defends against Super Crazy and Sabu.
JM: Super Crazy scores the win and the title!
TG: Super Crazy is looking like one of the top Cruiserweights we have on the roster and it should be only a matter of time before he gets to the title picture.
JM: That is all we have time for tonight, from us it is goodnight!

Carlito and Funaki vs Joey Mercury and Gregory Helms - Tag

Cover, but there's a last second kick-out. Mercury blocks a punch. Mercury tags out to Gregory Helms. Gregory Helms hits a rolling kick on Funaki.
Finish: Funaki slams Helms, who rolls onto his stomach. What is Gregory Helms doing? Funaki picks him up and signals for a powerbomb. He raises Helms up...but then falls backward, getting crushed by his opponent in the process! Gregory Helms is on top! 1....2....3! Looking at the replay, it appears that Helms had taken a chain out of his tights and wrapped it around his fist! Funaki must have been punched with that chain while in mid-powerbomb! What a cheap shot!
Winners: Gregory Helms and Joey Mercury
Aftermath: Helms \ Mercury rush forward to attack! Funaki \ Carlito get caught by surprise and brutally beaten down to the canvas
