Smackdown Preview 12.26.08

The WWE Divas and Superstars are one day removed from the Christmas holiday, but Smackdown may determine who's been naughty or nice. Last week saw the brand new WWE Champion Jeff Hardy facing Vladimir Kozlov in a non-title match. Hardy gave it his all despite the continued dominance of Kozlov. In the end though, the Rated-R Superstar, Edge, decided to spoil the match, attacking Hardy, and using Kozlov's help to doubleteam Jeff. Luckily, Triple H was in the building and rushed down to Jeff's aid, eventually brandishing his trusty Sledgehammer to drive off the attackers. Will Jeff and HHH be teaming up to take on their latest enemies in Edge and Kozlov? Or will Smackdown GM Vickie Guerrero have something else in store for tonight's show?

Two superstars who appear on opposite ends of the spectrum are The Great Khali and MVP. MVP was once a highly-decorated United States and tag team champ, but has been on one of the worst losing streaks in WWE's history. MVP continues to lose contract signing bonuses due to the losses he's piling up. On the other hand, The Great Khali seems to have won over the fans with his new "Kiss Cam" show and victories over several heel wrestlers. Tonight MVP will battle the enormous Great Khali one-on-one. Will MVP be able to finally deliver a much-needed win? Or will Khali give the cocky superstar yet another loss?

The WWE Divas Championship will also be contested on tonight's show. Smackdown has its share of talented divas with the Bella Twins, Victoria, Natalya & Maria. But the current #1 Contender is the French diva Maryse. Maryse has been eyeing Michelle McCool's title for some time now, but has been unable to grab a victory. Maryse continues to heat up the divas division of Smackdown, but will she have what it takes to defeat Michelle?

Catch all the action of tonight's Smackdown at 8PM EST on MyNetworkTV!
