The Smackdwon theme hits the PA and the pyro goes off as Michael Cole and Tazz welcome us to another edition of Smackdown. Camera pans out to show a packed house as the fans are on their feet anticipating a great evening. Cole and Tazz hype up the main event for tonight when John Cena defends his US Championship inside a steel cage against Hardcore Holly. Tazz says that Holly is more focused than he ever has been and mentions that Cena is a marked man with many enemies. Cole then mentions that Eddie Guererro will defend his WWE title against Rey Mysterio. Tazz says he can't wait for that one. Both men wonder just what announcement GM Teddy Long has as neither man knows what Long will say.
Paul Heyman's music hits and out walks Heyman with Miss Jackie by his side. The crowd showers the two with tremendous heat but Heyamn and Jackie are all smiles this evening. They get into the ring and Heyman gets a mic. Immediately, an "*******" chant breaks out but Heyman could care less. Heyman says that what happened last week......he himself cannot take the credit for. Heyman says that Miss Jackie orchestrated the whole thing. Jackie shakes her head yes and points to her brain saying that she is a genius. Paul agrees. Heyman says that Miss Jackie set up the 3D........because she wanted Rico and Haas to be vulnerable when the Dudley's wrestled them last week. Heyman says that Miss Jackie realized she was going knowhere with those two losers, and wanted to join a winning team. Naturally, she sought out Paul and told him she wanted him to run her career. Paul was more than happy to oblige. He says Miss Jackie is now his first female client, and Paul says that he will make her the #1 Diva in the WWE. Jackie agrees. Paul says that he would like to introduce the new.....WWE......Tag Team champions....the Dudley Boys.
Bubba and D'von come out to more tremendous heat. They get in the ring and shake Paul's hand, then both men hug Miss Jackie as she raises there arms in the air to a chorus of boos. Heyman claps and smiles while this is happening. Paul says that the Dudley's will be watching the three-way dance tonight to see what unfortunate souls get the pleasure of getting beaten to death by the Dudley's at The Great American Bash. Jackie pipes in and says that she hopes it will be Rico and Haas because she wants to see The Dudley's put them out of wrestling. Paul likes that idea too. Paul says that now he wants to introduce the last member of his stable......Renee Dupree.
The Dudley's, Miss Jackie and Paul all clap as Renee makes his way out to the same heat the others got. Renee gets into the ring and shakes everyone's hand, but kisses Miss Jackie's. She blushes and Renee then taunts the crowd. Paul says that he has an announcement to make concerning the match between RVD and Dupree.
"You look.....soooooo.....good to me." and out walks Rico and Haas to a nice pop from the crowd. Rico and Charlie look pissed and the Dudley's begin to taunt them by showing off the Tag Team titles. Rico has a mic. Rico says that up until a couple days ago, he and Charlie were at each others throats. He says that he blamed Charlie for what happened and vice versa. But then, they both realized that neither of them was to blame. So...Rico wants to know why Jackie did what she did? Because he and Haas were always nice to her and treated her like royalty. Jackie grabs the mic and says that both of them were holding her back. She is most beautiful Diva in the WWE and she was forced toplay second fiddle to both of them. She says that Rico used her to help his own career and that Charlie wanted to sleep with her....that was the only reason he treated her nice was just so he could **** her. Haas shakes his head "no" and Rico says that he never used her. Paul grabs the stick and tells the duo that Jackie is with the winners now....and she has somebody who will focus on making her career go to new heights. Paul says that Rico and Haas are nothing but a freak......and a geek. Charlie looks to storm the ring but Rico stops him. Rico says that they will win the match tonight and then they will have their revenge. Rico and Haas leave. Paul begins to try to speak but this time gets interrupted by Mr. Thursday Night.
RVD comes out to a huge ovation and stands on the stage. RVD says that the only reason he came out here was to find out what the big announcement was concerning his and Renee's match. Paul says that he spoke with GM Long and that Mr. Long has agreed to make the match between RVD and Dupree a two-out-of three falls match. Rob has no problem with that, but Paul isn't done. Paul says that the first fall is a regular match. But that the second fall is a street fight. And if it goes to a third fall.....then he and Dupree will finish it inside a steel cage. Rob looks a little worried but he tells Paul that he has never backed away from a challenge and that he will beat the "French Phenom" at the Great American Bash. Why?........Because he is Rob......Van....Dam (Crowd says it with him). Rob walks off as Paul has a wicked smile on his face.
Commercial Break.

Eddie says that he respects Rey but that the title is on the line and Eddie is not about to lose the title. He says that being WWE Champion means that you defend your title against the best. Rey is one of the best. Josh asks Eddie if that includes Booker? Eddie says that Booker T is the number one contender and that proves he is in that catagory. But....Eddie says that Rey will not beat him and at the Great American Bash....Booker T will not beat him. Eddie walks off and so does Josh. From a corner we see Booker.
