Smackdown Preview 05.01.09

Appearing on tonight's episode of Smackdown will be the brand new World Heavyweight Champion Edge. Edge just recently won the title in a Last Man Standing match against John Cena at Backlash. The Rated-R Superstar had help though, as the world's largest athlete, the Big Show, arrived out to the ramp, grabbed John Cena and smashed him into a huge spotlight nearby. Now that Edge once again has the title, what will the Rated-R Superstar have to say to the Smackdown roster and WWE Universe? Who will be the first superstar to step up and challenge Edge for his newly won gold?

Friday's Smackdown will also feature a Fatal Fourway between four wrestlers looking to score big. This match will determine the #1 Contender for Edge's World Heavyweight title at Judgment Day. The competitors will include 3 of Smackdown's recent drafted members: Kane, Rey Mysterio & Chris Jericho as well as former champion Jeff Hardy. Will one of the new draftees get the opportunity thanks to their recent move to Smackdown? Each man will be hungry to go out and gain the #1 Contender spot in this match at Madison Square Garden, but who will end up taking it?

There will also be championship gold on the line at MSG, as United States Champion, MVP, travels from Raw to put his title on the line against Dolph Ziggler. Ziggler's a newcomer to Smackdown, and just 2 weeks ago he managed to pick up a non-title win against Montell Vontavius Porter. His win came due to grabbing a handful of tights without the referee catching it. MVP was caught off guard, and Ziggler decided to come out and challenge MVP the following week for the gold. MVP just recently faced the new WWE Champ Randy Orton on Raw in a tough match, which saw the US champ booted out of the ring. Will MVP be ready to compete on Smackdown? Will Ziggler's move to Smackdown result in him winning his first championship?
