Last week, in what was arguably one of the most intense SmackDowns in recent memory, The Great Khali crashed General Manager Theodore Long and Kristal’s wedding date announcement, then literally had a big hand in disrupting Batista & Ric Flair’s non-title tag match against WWE Tag Team Champions Deuce & Domino. Now, with the World Heavyweight Title Match set between the Claw-numbing champion and The Animal for SummerSlam, there’s no telling what will transpire next between these two Superstars. How will Batista respond to what Khali did to the “Nature Boy” this Friday on SmackDown? Can even The Animal stay the Punjabi goliath’s mighty hand?
As for the United States Champion, Montel Vontavious Porter, he’s been yelling foul since Matt Hardy beat him in last week’s Arm Wrestling Contest. So far, Matt has been up to the challenge of proving he’s as good – perhaps better – than the cocky hotshot. What’s the next non-ring related competition between Matt and MVP? Can SmackDown’s Franchsie Playa get back on his game to make sure he ultimately retains his golden bling?
When you keep picking on an individual, there’s only a matter of time before he or she snaps. Same goes for Jamie Noble, who continues to be the brunt of short jokes since being pinned by new Cruiserweight Champion Hornswoggle at The Great American Bash. Last week, after taking his aggression out in the ring on Shannon Moore, the fired-up pitbull caught a humiliating pie in the face from SmackDown’s miniature champion. Embarrassed on national TV, in front of his fellow Superstars and our fans, how much much lower can things get for Noble – especially where Hornswoggle’s concerned?
