Taped: 12/09/03
San Diego, CA

Again, times and finishes from Jared Hawkins @ http://thesmartmarks.com/artman/publish/article_1284.shtml

• Paul Heyman is in the ring to announce that Chris Benoit will never get another title shot.
  • Brock shows up to gloat.
  • Rey shows up to challenge him.
  • Non-Title match between them tonight, with Rey getting a title shot next week if he wins.a

• Rhyno (reversed pin on a superplex, 4:16) Bradshaw
  • This was a rematch from last week's Velocity, where Bradshaw won.
• As punishment for betting against Brock Lesnar last week, A-Train must face...Shannon Moore.
  • Nathan Jones is written of as "having been dealt with" by Heyman in a unspecific way for an unspecific reason.

• Bets are being taken by the FBI for Moore/A-Train and Bashams/Too Cool (next week)
  • Matt Morgan shows he's a moron by wasting money on huge favorite A-Train (1-10), though that's actually a more generous line for Shannon than I'd put it at.
• Shannon Moore (sunset flip/tights/barely 3, 1:45) A-Train
  • Tazz mentioned Jones as gone here as well.
  • Post match, Show and Morgan show up to beat down Moore...
  • before turning on A-Train and beating him down for losing/costing Morgan cash.

• Cat dances. This time with Sable.
• Chavo's knee is feeling better, and he agrees to ride with Eddie as long as Eddie doesn't (intentionally) steal the spotlight.

• Los Guerreros (Eddie air filer shot Shelton, 15:33) the World's Greatest Tag Team
  • Eddie's (injured, not part of the storyline) gets strained by Haas and Benjamin.
  • Eddie as a one arm man becomes a focal point of the match, though Chavo is the one who gets stuck in the ring.
  • Instead of Chavo's knee being the focus point, so he's stealng the spotlight in a new way.
  • This match goes across a break

• Chavo thought he was the legal man and had no designs in tagging out, but Haas knocked Chavo into Eddie and the ref counted that as a tag.
• Shelton superkicked Chavo and covered, but no count because Chavo's not legal.
• As Chavo was being removed from the ring, Eddie came in, used the car part, and got the win.
• Chavo was not happy Eddie got the pinfall for his team.

• SmackDown! USO care packages and tour press confrence.
• John Cena d. Big Show in a battle rap.
  • Cena ended with a low blow kick for Show.

• Brock's submission move from last week is now "the Brocklock"
• Chris Benoit offers no excuses for losing, and no one can take away his dream of being a champion.

• WWE Champion Brock Lesnar (Brock Lock, 14:43) Rey Mysterio Jr. in a non-title match
  • Typical Rey "hit and run versus a big man" match, stretching through a break

• 619->Drop the Dime gets 2.
• WCP is blocked, turned into a powerbomb to set up the Brock Lock
• Post match, a masked "member of Rey's family" runs in, only to reveal himself as Hardcore Holly
• Holly gets the better of Brock till he escapes down the aisle
