Smackdown Preview 09.21.07

Friday's Smackdown comes on the heels of this past Sunday's Pay Per View, "Unforgiven" which saw a determined Batista regain the World Heavyweight title. With Batista tossing Rey Mysterio out of the ring and then making a statement to use a spinebuster and pin Great Khali, Batista starts his third title reign on Smackdown. However, there was another member of the Smackdown roster who would like that title back, the Undertaker. Taker returned to "Unforgiven" to defeat Mark Henry, the man who put him out of commission months ago. What will the fallout be from the Triple Threat match as Batista heads to No Mercy for a "Punjabi Prison" match against Khali? Will Undertaker make a statement to Batista?

Matt Hardy and MVP also retained their tag team titles, co-existing for yet another day. The question is when will MVP give Hardy a shot at the US Championship again? Be on the lookout for Hardy to continue to call out MVP for yet another title shot.

The big story of Smackdown is also the wedding of Teddy Long and WWE Diva Kristal. Last week the two had separate bashes, with dancers, strippers and friends all partying in seperate locker rooms/offices. Just when it seemed the couple was heading for a serious argument they started to celebrate and shrugged off their issues. Tune in to watch the big wedding and see how it goes down on Friday night!

Smackdown hits the air Friday night at 8PM on the CW Network. Check local listings for coverage in your area.
