Smackdown Preview 08.17.07

Last week on Smackdown Ric Flair did battle with The Great Khali, with Khali getting the upperhand, literally. Kahli latched a claw like grip onto the forehead of Flair then pushed him to the mat for the pin. When Batista came down to try to make the save, Khali used the grip once again, this time to put down the Animal. What will be in store for the Champ this week as Flair and Batista may be looking for sweet revenge?

Last week also started a new feud between the fighting Irishmen, Finlay, and the Big Red Machine, Kane. Finlay had the last word, or action, when he stormed down to the ring and proceeded to take out Kane with his shalalee. How will Kane respond on tonight's edition of Smackdown?

We also may see more of the Hornswaggle and Jamie Noble feud, as well as see Matt Hardy in action just 1 night prior to Saturday Night's Main Event! Watch Smackdown on the CW network at 8PM EST Friday night!
