WWE presented the first post-Draft Smackdown last night, as WWE Champion Triple H and Umaga both debuted on the blue brand. Edge also squared off against U.S. Champion Matt Hardy in a Champion vs. Champion match and Rey Mysterio returned to bid goodbye to SD.
Following July Employee of the Month Jim Ross’ introduction to the Smackdown audience (Carlito garnered June’s honors), WWE Champion Triple H made his way to the ring and addressed the crowd. World Titleholder Edge interrupted Hunter’s speech, only to find himself ejected from the ring as he was eyeing Batista, who attacked The Rated R Superstar and stole the World Championship. Edge would later retrieve his strap when La Familia assaulted The Animal during his main event match against Umaga. Batista was rescued by former Evolution stablemate Triple H and the babyfaces simultaneously delivered their finishing moves to The Edgeheads shortly before the broadcast concluded.
Edge also battled Matt Hardy in a Champion vs. Champion bout earlier in the evening. The blond Canadian emerged victorious following a Spear in a solid outing.
In other news, Rey Mysterio cut a farewell promo to the Smackdown audience and it was announced that both Jeff Hardy and Mr. Kennedy will make their Smackdown debuts next week.
