Preview:Undertaker vs Edge TLC Match for World Heavyweight Championship

On SmackDown, General Manager Vickie Guerrero announced that the still-vacated World Heavyweight Championship would be decided in a Table, Ladders and Chairs Match between Edge and Undertaker at One Night Stand. Despite our fans’ emphatic disapproval, Vickie also threatened Undertaker’s future as a WWE Superstar.

“If Undertaker loses this match, this will be the last time you see him. Because if he loses his match, he will be banished from the entire WWE,” she declared.

At One Night Stand, the Ultimate Opportunist will continue on his path to obtain the gold, with the help of his influential fiancée. How will The Phenom fare in a contest Edge has built his career on? He has lost only one TLC Match at Unforgiven in 2006, but clearly he has the overwhelming advantage.

The title has been without a holder since Guerrero stripped Undertaker of the gold. The decision was prompted by The Deadman’s repeated use of an illegal choke hold – including against the GM’s fiancé Edge at WrestleMania XXIV and Backlash. Then, after defeating Edge at Judgment Day, she inhibited him from reclaiming the title, insisting that a count-out victory over Edge could not grant him the gold.

The Deadman has been known to use extreme force to take out whoever stands in his way. And with the prospect of being banished from WWE, it’s possible he may unleash more fury on Edge than our fans have ever witnessed.

After all that has happened between Undertaker and Edge over the past year, it is time for one of them to claim the “richest prize in the game” at One Night Stand. But until then, the question still lingers: Who will be the next World Heavyweight Champion?


Preview:WWE Champion Triple H vs. Randy Orton in a Last Man Standing Match

The longstanding tug-of-war between Triple H and Randy Orton over the WWE Championship continues to rage, with both men preparing to dig in their heels and battle at One Night Stand in a Last Man Standing Match.

It’s a format in which Orton has excelled. It was a cold night in October at No Mercy when Mr. McMahon awarded the title to the Legend Killer after John Cena suffered a torn pectoral injury. That evening, Triple H defeated Orton to capture the title, but Mr. McMahon would have none of it. He pitted The Game in a Title Match against Umaga, which Triple H barely survived. The Chairman then arranged a Last Man Standing Title Match against Orton, in which Triple H was unable to overcome his exhaustion and was forced to relinquish the gold.

Since then, the animosity between these two has only etched itself deeper. During WrestleMania XXIV, the then-Champion Orton eked out a narrow victory in a Triple Threat Match against The Game and John Cena. The Legend Killer’s cunning, however, could not save him last month at Backlash when Triple H effectively ended the “Age of Orton,” defeating JBL, Cena and Orton in a Fatal Four Way Elimination Match. Two weeks before One Night Stand, JBL & Orton defeated Cena & Triple H in a Tag Team Match to win the right to determine the stipulations to their respective matches at the Extreme Rules pay-per-view event.

At One Night Stand, Orton will utilize his cunning and stamina in an attempt to recapture that which he covets most, while Triple H channels his power to fend off the attacks of a relentless foe. As their tug-of-war continues, who will remain the Last Man Standing?


Preview:John Cena vs. JBL (First Blood Match)

Since Backlash, JBL has kept John Cena squarely in his sights. Now, at One Night Stand, he’ll have a chance to fight Cena under the rules of his choosing: A First Blood Match.

Before being fired from his position as Raw’s General Manager, William Regal set a tag team match between JBL & Randy Orton and WWE Champion Triple H & John Cena. When JBL & Orton won the match, they earned the right to challenge their opponents to singles competitions at One Night Stand — a right that JBL quickly exercised.

This match is part of a longer-running rivalry between the two wrestlers, which began at Backlash. There, both men were involved in a Fatal Four Way Elimination Match for the WWE Championship. JBL, believing that he should have had the match against Randy Orton on his own, was furious to have been defeated by John Cena, and taken out of the running for the title. Since then, JBL has put aside his desire for gold, and instead focused on making John Cena’s life a living hell.

Though Cena defeated JBL at Judgment Day, it was only after the self-made millionaire had his way with the Chain Gang Soldier, pounding on him with the type of smashmouth wrestling we’ve come to expect from John “Bradshaw” Layfield. JBL worked John Cena over for most of the match, but was felled by an FU. The Longhorn Loudmouth admitted that he was pinned, but wondered who really won the match, since Cena was recovering in the trainer’s room, and he was out giving interviews.

Now, at One Night Stand, JBL will have the opportunity, and the incentive, to literally draw blood from his opponent. John Cena has stood up to the toughest competitors WWE has to offer, but how will he manage in a match designed for brutality, against the self-proclaimed “wrestling god,” JBL?


Preview:Shawn Michaels vs. Batista (Stretcher Match)

On the May 19 edition of Raw, Batista defeated Chris Jericho allowing him to go on to One Night Stand giving him his chance to legitimately hurt Shawn Michaels, strap him to a gurney and wheel him out in a Stretcher Match.

The Animal has been after HBK ever since Michaels forced WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair into retirement at WrestleMania XXIV. In the weeks following that match-up, Batista was anything but shy in airing his grievances in regards to Michaels’ actions, with his words acting as daggers digging into The Showstopper until HBK just couldn’t take it anymore.

To silence Batista once and for all, Michaels agreed to face The Animal at Backlash and Raw GM William Regal appointed Intercontinental Champion Chris Jericho as Special Guest Referee. Just when it seemed like Batista was about to finish Michaels off with a Batista Bomb, HBK slid out at the last minute seemingly tweaking his knee in the process. As The Showstopper tried to pick himself up using the ropes, The Animal started to move in on him to only be leveled by Sweet Chin Music out of nowhere followed by a cover and HBK win.

At the Raw immediately following Backlash, Jericho came to the ring claiming that the injury Michaels sustained in his bout against Batista was just fabricated and was only further proof that HBK would do anything to win. Following weeks of constantly denying Y2J’s continued accusations, HBK shocked us all by admitting finally, on the May 12 edition of Raw, that the knee injury was all indeed an act and immediately proved it by laying out the Ayatollah of Rock ‘n’ Rolla with Sweet Chin Music.

Batista was evidently not pleased with this newest development in his and Michaels’ saga, and he immediately gave HBK notice that he was coming to hurt him. At Judgment Day, Batista confronted Michaels but did not engage The Showstopper then and there, just warned him that he was going to hurt him on his time.

Now that The Animal has officially landed a Stretcher Match against HBK at One Night Stand, there seems to be no better time to exact his revenge than a pay-per-view completely lined with Extreme Rules encounters. But as Michaels has proven as of late, HBK will do anything he has to to win and it will be surely be no different on pay-per-view, when anything goes.


Preview:Jeff Hardy vs. Umaga (Falls Count Anywhere Match)

Though he’s overcome an amazing amount of adversity in his career, Jeff Hardy has had a mountain of an obstacle placed in front of him: Umaga, who Hardy will be facing in a Falls Count Anywhere Match at One Night Stand.

In one of his last acts in power as Raw General Manager, William Regal responded to a hellacious war between the two in which Jeff Hardy’s high-risk maneuvers came up against Umaga’s brutality. Despite the aggressiveness of both Superstars, however, the match ended without a winner, as both men were counted out of the ring.

The two Superstars have clashed since fall of last year, when Hardy faced off against Umaga for the Intercontinental Championship. Though the Samoan Bulldozer had been used to running roughshod over any type of competition, Hardy was able to stand his ground, utilizing the acrobatic moves that have made him a fan-favorite, defeating the savage to become a four-time Intercontinental Champion. More recently, in his return to Raw, Hardy obtained a pinfall victory over Umaga, proving that even after a two-month absence, he still has what it takes to derail the Samoan Bulldozer.

Though they’ve battled back and forth for months, their match at One Night Stand will end only with a decisive win for one of these Superstars, as a pin outside the ring will be as valid as one inside. Both men have unorthodox styles and are sure to carry their fight all over the San Diego Sports Arena, from the ring, to the entrance ramp, the audience, and even the parking lot.

With complete freedom of where to take the carnage, what insane risks will we see Hardy take with his body? And will even that be enough to stop Umaga at his most brutal?


Preview:Big Show vs. John Morrison vs. Tommy Dreamer vs. Chavo Guerrero vs. CM Punk (Singapore Cane Match)

On ECW, Armando Estrada made the announcement that every active former ECW Champion would compete in a Singapore Cane Match at One Night Stand to determine the No. 1 Contender to Kane’s ECW Championship at Night of Champions. The match will pit former champions John Morrison, Chavo Guerrero, Tommy Dreamer, CM Punk, and Big Show against each other.

When the match was first announced, Estrada seemed to have made a huge oversight. He set up a One Night Stand preview tag team match main event pitting former ECW Champions Morrison and Guerrero up against Dreamer and Punk. But, while they battled for supremacy, it was soon clear that one former ECW Champion was missing from the mix. Soon after the match was resolved, Big Show smashed into the ring and reminded the combatants with authority that he, too, held ECW gold.

In the match, a Singapore cane will be available for any of the participants to use, should they get their hands on one. Whoever is able to retrieve the weapon first will be able to clobber his opponents with it. On the surface, this type of match may favor Big Show on sheer size alone, able to withstand punishment better than any of his opponents. Morrison and Punk will undoubtedly have speed and agility on their sides, while Tommy Dreamer's extreme experience will be his advantage. However, with Bam Neely in his court, will Chavo Guerrero have a few tricks up his sleeve? And don’t count-out ECW Original Tommy Dreamer, who has made a career out of using unconventional weapons and ringside instruments.

One of these five former ECW Champions will become No. 1 Contender to Kane’s ECW gold. Who will be able to survive the brutal rules of a Singapore Cane Match? Tune in to One Night Stand, only on pay-per-view on June 1. Speak loudly and carry a huge stick!

Preview:Melina vs. Beth Phoenix ("I Quit" Match)

Though Beth Phoenix and Melina were once allies, things have taken a wrong turn in the pair’s relationship. Both women have felt betrayed by the other’s actions, and plan on settling things this Sunday night at One Night Stand. It won’t be as simple as one woman pinning the other however, as this is an “I Quit” Match, in which one Diva must force the other to speak those dreaded words into a microphone in front of a pay-per-view audience.

The two’s rivalry began about a month ago, when Melina caused Beth Phoenix to lose her Women’s Championship match against Mickie James by accidentally hitting Phoenix with her boot. Unfortunately for Melina, The Glamazon isn’t known for her forgiving nature, but rather her raw power and ferocity. To no one’s surprise, the following weeks saw Beth retaliating against Melina, smashing her repeatedly into a set of steel lockers, and brutalizing her after a match with Jillian.

Both women are known for their in-ring ability, but it’s their pride that will come into play this weekend at One Night Stand. Beth Phoenix has been one of the most dominant Divas in WWE history, can Melina force her to say "I Quit"? When it could irreparably damage not only their ego, but also their career, which of these Divas will be the first to concede?
