SMACKDOWN REPORT 4/23

We start off with a look back at last week’s Triple Threat Match between Jack Swagger, Edge, and Chris Jericho for the World Title that was successfully defended by Jack Swagger when he pinned Chris Jericho after a spear by Edge. We also take a look at what Swagger and Jericho did to Edge after the match.
We are live on tape from Uncasville, Connecticut and your announcers are Matt Striker and Todd Grisham.
We begin this week’s show with Jack Swagger coming to the ring for our opening match.
Before the match, Swagger has something to say. He says that he is on a roll. Last week, he defeated two future first ballot WWE Hall of Famers. Edge a nine time World Champion and Chris Jericho, the man who calls himself the best at what he does. Jack says that makes him the best now. Then on Monday, he dominated the Undertaker like no other superstar has been able to do, even Shawn Michaels. Swagger says that it is what is expected when you are the greatest natural competitor in the WWE. Jack says that he does not like to brag so he will let the video tape speak for him. We go to what happened on Monday night when Swagger was challenged by the Undertaker.
The crowd does not like the video package, which might have missed a few parts of the match.
Swagger says that video says it all. Jack says that he does not look like a winner in that video, he looks like a champion. Jack says that he hopes to become a permanent member of the Smackdown roster. A show where he is admired and where he can inspire an entire universe. He plans to dominate on Sunday night. He says that he knows that the Viper will be ready to uncoil and strike. He says that the venom can kill a normal man in three short seconds. Jack says that he is not a normal man. A normal man does not pull off thirty consecutive pin fall victories in NCAA Wrestling. He is going to go for the Viper’s head and he is going to cut it off.

Jericho points out that Edge probably cannot climb the cage, but he says that he can. Jericho suggests that he will climb to the top and jump off onto the ankle, crushing it and tearing the Achilles tendon for good to send him home. Jericho says that on Monday, Edge will be watching in bed to see himself being drafted back to the hospital where he has spent so much time over the last few years.
