He's Baaack!


SmackDown opens up with the General Manager Eric Bischoff coming out. We get a replay from last month on Raw where Bischoff was knocked out by the Big Show. Bischoff says that he is back and he is better than ever. He says that like it or not there ain't nothing that can keep him away for too long.

Bischoff hypes tonight's main event which will see four champions competing in a Fatal 4 Way match as John Cena will face Dolph Ziggler, Shelton Benjamin and Big E Langston. Bischoff says that we can all thank him for that masterpiece of a main event. He claims that this isn't something you will see on Teddy Long's Raw because Teddy lacks the imagination and the guts to make such prestigious matches.

Bischoff adds that he made Raw the flagship show of the WWE and now he has taken it upon himself to elevate SmackDown as WWE's most exciting and unpredictable show. He then addresses the giant in the room and he says that he was disrespected and assaulted by the World's Largest Bully, the Big Show. He says that he and Big Show go way back in the old days when he was running Raw and he had no use for the Big Show. He was just a big guy with nothing to really work on. And 13 years later...not much have changed. He says that tonight he promised to teach Big Show some respect. He calls out Big Show.

The World's Largest Athlete comes out then and he gets into the ring. Bischoff tells him that they know each other very well and they both know how this is going to turn out but for the sake of being a professional he will give Big Show a choice. And depending on his choice, things will either turn out for the better or for the worse. He says that he do what he did when he took out Teddy Long two months ago and apologize but with all the honesty that he can give out and by getting to his knees, or he may decline to issue that apology and suffer the consequences.

Big Show says that he apologized to Teddy Long for hurting him because he didn't deserve to get knocked out. Bischoff on the other hand deserves even worse than a punch to the face. He says that not only he will not apologize but the next time that Bischoff will disrespect him, he will knock him out even harder! He says that if Eric has some sort of punishment in store for him then he might as well get this thing over with right now!

Bischoff says that he was hoping to hear that. He says that the Big Show will get a lesson in respect tonight as he will compete against not one, not two but three opponents in a Gauntlet match! He will be facing three of his biggest rivals in recent years, and it starts right now!

He says that the road to WrestleMania is coming to a head. He says that the match card will be filled, rivalries will build up and superstars will get to live out their dreams. He says that apparently, John Cena is going to defend the WWE Championship against Brock Lesnar and of course we already know that The Rock will face Shawn Michaels in a Dream match. He says that the reason he is here though is because the World Heavyweight Championship match will feature two of WWE's youngest, brightest and most talented superstars. Two guys that started from the bottom and fought and clawed to the top. He introduces the World Heavyweight Champion Dolph Ziggler and then the #1 contender, The Miz. Edge congratulates both of them for making their way to headline WrestleMania. He says that he remembers back in the day when he was the World Heavyweight Champion and he main evented WrestleMania. He says that he knows that feeling and he trusts these two guys to deliver an epic encounter that will show the world what the future of this company looks and acts like.

Edge then talks about Dolph Ziggler and how he started his career as a low piece of garbage and he went on to become World Champion twice.

Edge says that he remembers that because he is the one that beat him in those five minutes. Ziggler asks him to forget about this and proceed on what he was saying. Edge then says that, Nicky from the Spirit Squad has turned into Dolph Ziggler the World Heavyweight Champion. Edge says that he and Dolph are more look alike after all because they both dated some hot women and Vickie Guerrero, they both have style and they both have blond hair. Edge says that Ziggler needs to win at WrestleMania and solidify himself as the Show-Off. Or if he loses he will solidify himself as a letdown. Ziggler tells him to watch his mouth. Miz then says that they are wasting everybody's time. He says that Ziggler wouldn't be the World Champion if it wasn't for him winning the elimination tag team match at Survivor Series against team Orton. Miz says that he should have won the World title that night but it's ok because he gets to do it on his own terms and that's the big leagues. The show of shows. He says that WrestleMania is his playground because he understands what it means. He says that when he defended the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 27 against John Cena, on the same night Dolph Ziggler lost to Snooki. Miz says that this is bigger than their egos and bigger than what Dolph is expecting. He says that at WrestleMania 29 he is going to be the new World Heavyweight Champion because he is the Miz and he's Awesome! Miz then leaves the ring. Edge tells Ziggler that he's screwed.
