Thanks to Pat for calling in these results from the SD! taping in Rochester, NY:
Dark Match:
– Kofi Kingston defeated Dave Taylor in the dark match. The crowd here in Rochester is hot tonight.
WWE SmackDown!:
– Opening segment with Vickie Guerrero and Teddy Long presenting Edge with the World Heavyweight Title. Edge brings out The Major Brothers. The brothers come out and say they aren’t The Major Brothers, but they are Kurt Hopkins and Zach Bryant. Those names could be incorrect, it was hard to make out. They air a video showing Edge and Vickie doing various romantic things.
– They announce Edge vs. Batista for the World Heavyweight Title tonight as the main event.
– The Great Khali and Ranjin Singh vs. Hornswoggle & Finlay ended when Hornswoggle hit the Tadpole Splash on Ranjin for the win while Khali watched from outside the ring.
– They announced CM Punk, Kane, & Mysterio vs. Big Daddy, MVP, & Mark Henry for later. Also, a JBL Farewell address.
– Ric Flair comes out and says Triple H is the best wrestler going today and that if he loses to him, he will have no regrets.
– The six-man tag match is next with Rey Mysterio, CM Punk and Kane vs. Big Daddy V, Mark Henry and MVP.
– Rey Mysterio, CM Punk and Kane vs. Big Daddy V, Mark Henry and MVP ends when Mysterio hits a 619 on Henry followed by a chokeslam from Kane and a splash by Mysterio then the 1-2-3.
– A special Santa Match is next. It’s Festus vs. Deuce with both of them dressed like Santa Clause. Festus gets the win in a comedy match.
– JBL is now in the ring giving his Farewell Address to SmackDown. This was kind of pointless it seemed. All he did was come out and say he was going to RAW to kick Chris Jericho’s ass.
– Tazz is coming out to commentate with Michael Cole. A promo video for Jeff Hardy airs.
– Batista vs. Edge is next. The match is changed to a Handicap match with Batista vs. Edge and the former Major Brothers. The match is still for the World Heavyweight Title though.
– Batista pins one of the former Major Brothers and wins the World Heavyweight Title. Batista is handed the Title but Vickie Guerrero comes out. Vickie says the only way he can win the belt is to pin Edge. The match is restarted.
– The match starts again but one of the Majors hits Batista with a chair and the match ends in a DQ. Edge and The Majors continue to beat on Batista as SmackDown should go off the air. Edge also said “Oh by the way, Merry Christmas” after the beatdown. The refs come down to check on Batista.
