Smackdown Preview 07.24.09


There will be about 48 hours or so until Night of Champions 2009 Pay-Per-View kicks off, but first Smackdown will feature two of the champions in action. In the main event, it will be Rey Mysterio facing CM Punk. The Intercontinental Champion Mysterio will put his title on the line against Dolph Ziggler when the PPV arrives. CM Punk will put his World Heavyweight Title on the line against the enigmatic Jeff Hardy. But before any of that happens these two will face off in the squared circle to prepare for the event. Punk has had recent issues with his supposed eye injury, while Mysterio was the victim of an attack at the hands of Ziggler, Jericho and Edge just weeks ago. In recent weeks, Punk attacked Jeff Hardy outside the ring, causing Mysterio to stare him down. Will Mysterio be able to pickup a win tonight against the World Heavyweight Champ? Or will Punk find a way to gain momentum as we head to Night of Champions?

Another story the WWE Universe is following involves Chris Jericho. The cocky superstar lost his tag team partner Edge weeks ago to an unfortunate Achilles injury. Jericho scorned his former partner as the weak link in their team, and let the fans know he made sure there was a special provision in the Unified Tag team titles match contract he signed. At Night of Champions, Jericho will get to reveal his mystery partner for the title defense against Cody Rhodes & Ted Dibiase of Legacy. Jericho suggested to the duo that possibly his surprise partner will be their leader, Randy Orton. Will we get any further hints as to who Jericho's partner will be on Smackdown?

And finally, Night of Champions has stated that at the Pay-Per-View "every championship is on the line". As of right now, there is no official match set for the WWE Womens Championship. Current champion Michelle McCool has had the title for several weeks now, becoming the first diva to wear both the Womens title and Divas Championship during her career. Melina is still looking to regain her prized championship back. Will we find out about this match on tonight's Smackdown? Who will Michelle McCool be defending against at the PPV Sunday?

Catch Smackdown tonight at 8PM EST on MyNetWork TV, and Night of Champions this Sunday on PPV!
