Thanks to LOP for the following report:


The music of Kane hits and he makes his way to the ring is how the show begins today after the opening credits. The crowd from Long Island, New York pops as he makes his way down to the steel cage that is already set up. Kane stands at ring side for a long moment smiling as he eyes off the cage before he makes his away around to the entrance and climbs into the ring. We get a video recap from parts of the streetfight from last week the contains the great phone booth skit that I've mentioned above! We see the interruption from Mr. Kennedy and the win from MVP. Back to the ring and Kane is staring up the rampway where the music of MVP's entrance begins and he makes his way out towards the ring. At ringside MVP looks over the cage with a bit of apprehension as he removes his chain and then slowly climbs into the ring. MVP we are told has never been in a cage match before and he looks at the referee outside the cage shutting the door.

Booker says that in 48 hours, himself, king and ruler of the Smackdown world, Champion of Champions, will be defending his title against Batista. He wants Teddy to promise him something. Booker wants him to sign something, his royal contract. The contract according to Booker says that once he slays the animal Batista at Survivor Series he never has to face him again. He's already beaten him twice and he wants Long's word that he never has to defend his title against him again. He wants it in writing. Long wants to get one thing straight. Long doesn't take orders from Booker but he does have a case he says. Booker has Long's word that at Survivor Series it will be Batista's final opportunity. Sharmell doesn't like the word of Long on this one. She wants the contract signed so it's 'law'. Long says he'll take it and look at it and if it's okay he'll sign it. Booker says you bet you will, right out in the middle of the ring in front of all Booker's subjects. Booker wants Long to bring Batista out though as well as he requires both signatures as he doesn't trust either of them! Booker and Sharmell wander off.

Well done!

Back to the arena and the music of Mr. Kennedy hits and he makes his way to the end and we're up for another promo here. The mic drops from the ceiling once Kennedy is in the ring and he wants the crowd to shut their sewer holes and listen up. The crowd jeers at that comment and Kennedy comments on how they mustn't understand English. He wants the crowd to listen up and that includes Undertaker as well. Kennedy knows he's watching! In two days he faces the deadman, the phenom, at Survivor Series. Kennedy isn't here to talk to us about all that though. In the spirit of the season he wants us all to bow our heads and give thanks... (long pause).... to him! Give thanks to Mr. Kennedy for beating Undertaker at No Mercy. The crowd are majorly giving Kennedy heat here. We get video of his hand being raised at that match. Kennedy also wants to give thanks to himself as the crowd starts a chant against him. He wants to thank himself for being able to get inside the heads of both the Brothers of Destruction. We get another video package of Kennedy and MVP beating up on Kane last week. Kennedy would also be remiss if he didn't give thanks to himself for having the guts to tell the world the truth as we get another video clip. He's got one more for us, another video snapshot of a Kennedy speech. All of this that has happened has come out of the mouth of Kennedy whilst the Undertaker has done squat!

Kennedy reiterates that the Undertaker didn't do a damn thing. Kennedy says for once Undertaker knows who he is dealing with as we get another video package of Kennedy beating Undertaker with the microphone bloodying him. Undertaker must realise now that he's dealing with the future of sports entertainment. As he finishes his spiel we hear the gong and the crowd goes wild and there is a look of shock on the face of Kennedy. The lights dim as the camera focuses on the stage area. We are then shown back in the ring and the image in darkened but Kennedy is facing towards stage bouncing around ready for the Undertaker to come out but the Undertaker is right behind him as the lights come back on in the arena! Kennedy turns around and runs out the ring in shock as he realises Undertaker was right there! Kennedy mouths off at Undertaker from the rampway calling him out to him as Undertaker stands still in the centre of the ring. Undertaker mouths off.. "Survivor Series, First Blood" and raises his arms. From up the rampway where Kennedy is standing red paint, well, we're supposed to believe blood, falls from the ceiling onto Kennedy as he stands there on the rampway. Kennedy is covered in it as he glares at the Undertaker and the Undertaker at him in return.

We get Booker's them music as he salutes the crowd. Booker says thankyou and greets the crowd. He introduces himself to a number of boos from the crowd. This Sunday he is going to beat Batista for the last time. He will be vanquished from contending the world title. Without further ado he wants the crowd to bear witness as the contract is to be signed. The music of Teddy Long hits and he makes his way to the ring. Long with the mic enters the ring and asks Booker what's really going on. He asks if all this is necessary. Long gave his word that it would be Batista's last attempt to which Booker responds that his word is fine yes, for a mere mortal. He's King Booker, he's royalty and someone of his standard needs it signed. The crowd are almost deathly quiet at the moment. Long says that if this is what the King wants, the King will get as he takes the contract from Sharmell. He signs the contract where indicated. Booker says one down and one to go as the music of Batista hits and the crowd goes crazy!

Batista in street gear, all black and with glasses, gets his pyros and makes his way to the ring as Booker sits on his throne. In the ring Batista removes his jacket and rolls up his sleeves. Long is no longer in the ring. Batista sits opposite Booker and looks over the contract. Booker asks him if he's a little nervous. Perhaps sitting in front of him, he is second guessing himself because he knows he can't beat Booker. He can see it in his eyes. He has a lot of doubt. The crowd starts up a Batista chant which Booker tells him to ignore, to trust his own mind, to think about what he's getting himself into. Batista signs the contract and looks at Booker who confirms that both signatures are there and that it will last a lifetime. Booker says to Batista that at Survivor Series may the best man win. At that he drops the mic on the table before upturning it against Batista knocking him off of his chair and onto the canvas before kicking into him and beating into him with right hands! Batista to a huge cheer fights back against Batista knocking him away and then dealing with the two Heralds who have come into the ring. Booker however has taken the sceptre from Sharmell and thrusts it into the throat of Batista! Batista now on the offensive as he beats Batista with a number of right hands again before kicking him to the side of the face as he tries to get up and then breaks the sceptre with a vicious looking hit against his skull! The crowd are jeering at Booker as Batista is left on the canvas in convulsions and Booker yells at Teddy Long at ringside that he is going to win! Booker raises his arm to the crowd as he grabs his gear and leaves the ring as the show goes off air.
