A shot of the WWE Heavyweight Championship was shown in the ring and the red carpet was rolled out and Vince McMahon's music hit in the arena and he made his way out to the ring with Sable on his arm.
Vince said that last week here on Smackdown!, history was made as we witnessed two world class athletes compete in a one hour Ironman match. After the 60 grueling minutes, there was one man who stood tall and one man who was superior and that's why all of you were here in this arena tonight. It's why Vince and Sable are here because tonight, they will indeed honor that superior athlete; that one man who can rightfully call himself the WWE Champion. So without further adieu...
Kurt Angle's music hit in the arena and he made his way out to the ring to interrupt Vince McMahon. Vince told the fans to give it up for Kurt Angle and then he told Kurt not to get too close because he doesn't want this Championship belt to fall over. Vince then said that he knows why Kurt is out here and that's because he wants to set for the record, Brock Lesnar cheated, hit him with a chair, gave him a low blow and hit him with the very Championship belt that they're about to give to Brock. In other words, he wants to bitch and whine. Ok, maybe that's not why he's here but Vince thinks he knows why Kurt is here. He's here tonight because he wants to challenge Brock Lesnar for the Championship here in Philadelphia. The fans cheered and Vince said that's not going to happen, folks. It's not going to happen tonight and he doesn't know when it's going to happen. As far as Vince is concerned, for him to get a title shot, he's going to start from the bottom and work his way up.
Kurt Angle being the first Olympic Gold Medalist in the history of the WWE, Vince is proud of that. Kurt's a sportsman and he's got a heart. Vince thinks he's here because Kurt wants to honor the superior athlete and wish well and make a presentation of the title to Brock Lesnar himself, is that right? Kurt Angle finally took the microphone out of Vince's hands and he said that he didn't come out here to congratulate Brock. He came out here to kick his ass! You see, Kurt realized that Vince isn't going to give him a title shot anytime soon so tonight, one of two things is going to happen. One, Brock Lesnar comes down here and Kurt beats the hell out of him. Or two, Kurt goes back there, finds Brock and beats the hell out of him. The choice is up to Brock Lesnar. Kurt then said "Let's go" to Brock and to get it on.
John Cena's music hit in the arena and he made his way out to the ring. John Cena took the mic and he told Kurt Angle to quit his bitching because he's turned into a whiner. Last week, he lost the title and now he's got a vagina. Kurt took exception to that and nailed John Cena with some hard right hands and then he tossed him over the top rope to the outside of the ring. Kurt Angle then said that Brock Lesnar is obviously not coming out, so Kurt Angle is going back there for him. Angle then got out of the ring and walked towards the backstage area and cameras took us to the backstage area where Kurt Angle went through the rooms looking for Brock Lesnar. Kurt went up to Brock Lesnar's locker room door and charged right in and started to say that Brock's ass is his but Brock was nowhere to be found. Kurt tossed Lesnar's bag across the room and then Cena came out of nowhere and attacked Kurt Angle in the backstage area.
During the Break:
John Cena fled the scene, quickly running out of the arena, getting in a car and leaving. But behind him was Kurt Angle and he ran into the parking lot and asked a guy if he saw Cena and the guy told him that he peeled off and Kurt told the guy to follow him and the guy started to tell Kurt that this is Mr. McMahon's limo but Kurt Angle didn't seem to care as he grabbed the guy, told him to get in the car and go.

In ring promo:
A-Train's music hit in the arena and he made his way out to the ring and he tossed the steel steps and then some chairs. A-Train grabbed the mic and got in the ring and said for weeks, all he's been hearing is about how A-Train can't beat Chris Benoit. A-Train said that he can beat Chris Benoit, anyone in the back and anyone in this arena! A-Train then asked for someone to fight him. A-Train then called Philadelphia a joke and said that they're all a bunch of cowards. A-Train went over to Michael Cole and Tazz and talked trash on them and then grabbed the timekeeper and rolled him into the ring and attacked him. A-Train put the timekeeper in the Crippler Crossface and then Chris Benoit's music hit in the arena and he stormed to the ring and went at it with A-Train. A-Train lifted Benoit up and shoved him into the corner and then Chris Benoit put A-Train in the Crossface but A-Train powered out of it and launched Chris Benoit over the top rope to the outside of the ring. A-Train then nailed Chris Benoit in the head with the steel chair and then told Benoit that he couldn't beat A-Train.
Backstage:
The trainer was shown attending to Eddie Guerrero and Chavo told the trainer to watch his ribs. The trainer said that if he's in this much pain, he shouldn't wrestle. Eddie then said that he knows what he can and can't do and he told him to back off.
Backstage:
Vince and Sable were shown and Vince was telling her what he thinks of her and he decided that he wanted a taste so they started kissing. A production guy entered the room because Vince wanted to see him, but that was 20 minutes ago. Vince asked the guy what's the matter with him? He's got bad timing. Vince wanted to see him because he wanted to let him and everyone else know that the red carpet will be rolled back out and the Championship belt will be back in the case because one way or another, he will present the WWE Title to Brock Lesnar. Vince then sent the guy on his way and he and Sable went back to what they were doing. Sable told him that before this night is over, she will personally present him with her.
Backstage:
Josh Matthews caught up with Charlie Haas, saying that the odds are in his favor later tonight after what he did. Charlie said that the odds are always in his favor. He's the All American and as far as Eddie Guerrero goes, he got just what he deserved. Charlie took Eddie out just like he and Chavo took out Shelton last week. If Los Guerreros want to take the tag team titles from him, then tonight, he's going to take the United States Title from Eddie Guerrero!

In ring promo:
Vince McMahon and Sable went out to the ring for the presentation for the WWE Championship. Vince demanded that everyone stand on their feet, put their hands together and pay the proper respect for the new WWE Champion, ladies and gentlemen, Brock Lesnar!
Brock Lesnar then made his way out to the ring and he stood on the ropes, expecting praise from the fans in the arena. The fans booed Brock Lesnar at the mention of his name and Vince said that he's the new face of the WWE, the face of Smackdown!. This face, this champion is unrelenting, unforgiving and damn sure unstoppable. So therefore, Vince knows that he speaks for the fans here in this arena, he knows that he speaks for Smackdown! fans all over the world when he says to Brock; congratulations Champ. Vince asked for a speech from Brock Lesnar and the fans reminded Brock that he tapped out as they chanted "You tapped out!"
Brock said say what you will because he is the new WWE Champion. First and foremost, from the bottom of his heart, he wants to thank Vince because it was him that helped remind him of exactly who he is. He's the real Brock Lesnar, so deal with it! Secondly, he has a few words for that parasite Kurt Angle. Last week in the Ironman match, Brock had Kurt in the palm of his hand. Yes, he did. He had him exactly where he wanted him the entire match. You see, it didn't matter to him if he got disqualified from using that chair because he knew what the end result was going to be. And that was Brock Lesnar regaining his WWE Championship. And Vince McMahon is oh so right when he says that Brock is unforgiving, unrelenting and most importantly, he's going to say this very slowly so that everybody in the back can understand that the Real Brock Lesnar is unstoppable.
The Undertaker's music hit in the arena and he made his way out to the ring on the motorcycle. The Undertaker got in the ring and he said that he told Brock last week that he told him he wasn't going to interfere in the title match. Why? Because he has too much respect for the title. Taker dared Brock Lesnar to step to him. Taker respects the title but he doesn't respect Brock Lesnar. A couple weeks ago when he wrestled Kurt Angle for the title, he came out and wanted to hit him with a chair. Brock must have thought he was going to let that slide but the Undertaker doesn't let anything slide. Just like he told Brock's boss; he doesn't forget and he doesn't forgive. Taker has some advice for Brock; take the belt, enjoy it, hang onto it real tight and sleep with it because his first title defense is against the Undertaker!
He's going to say this real slow so Brock can understand; he's got a date with the Deadman. Vince interjected, saying he doesn't know when he comes out here and starts making his own matches. On who's authority is he going to come out here and make a match with Brock Lesnar? Stephanie McMahon's music hit and she made her way out to the ring as the General Manager of Smackdown!. Stephanie got in the ring and said "On my authority, dad." She is the General Manager of Smackdown! and at No Mercy, Brock Lesnar will defend his WWE Championship against the Undertaker! Vince said that's not going to happen because she's going to have her own authority ascended. He's going to give her an opportunity to change her mind because if she doesn't change her mind then she too will be in a match at No Mercy. If she doesn't change her mind, she'll be in the first ever father/daughter match in history! Vince told Stephanie to go change her mind and quit. Stephanie said that she's not changing her mind. Vince said that if she doesn't change her mind then at No Mercy, she's going to be in the ring with Vince and she's going to quit one way or another because it'll be an I Quit Match. He hates to do that but she's become a disrespectful little bitch. Brock Lesnar then nailed the Undertaker with the Championship belt and Stephanie slid out of the ring. The Undertaker eventually fought back and planted Brock Lesnar with a choke slam as Stephanie cheered him on.
