Show:

JBL’s music hits and a Rolls Royce comes pulls out and JBL makes his entrance. He’s wearing a jacket that is basically an American flag and he’s waving a couple minature American flags. He enters the ring and hands the flags to Tony Chimmel and has him wave them in the corner while JBL cuts a promo. JBL says he will witness the greatest title defense in history. He plugs himself, calls himself an American hero and says that the UK depend on America for their very existence, they can’t win a war by themselves, they can’t win their own tennis tournament and that Tony Blair is George Bush’s poodle. He says that the crowd are all American step children. He says, that being the true American that he is, he will defend the title against…he stops short and makes fun of the crowd for having a Queen. The crowd chants “England” (I think), and JBL tells them to shut up. He tells the crowd he wants to hear them chant USA, the country they want to live in. William Regal’s music hits and he gets a fairly big pop as he makes his way to the ring in his original style robe. Regal gets in the ring and grabs a mic. He says that he agrees, that Tony Blair is a total muffin. But….he says that if you want to know what the English and the rest of the world thinks of you Americans….and he calls him a truckload of names and punches JBL in the face. He takes off his robe and the match starts.

Regal goes for an early cover but JBL grabs the bottom rope. Let’s go Regal chants begin. Regal punches JBL repeatedly with uppercuts and eventually JBL is punched out of the ring. Match is 2 minutes in and we’re off to commercial.

Mid-match notes:
Regal is stomping JBL in the ring. He knees JBL in the face. He whips JBL into the ropes, JBL reverses and hits Regal with a big boot. JBL is slow to recover but as Regal gets to his feet JBL begins to punch at Regal in the corner. Regal elbows JBL in the gut but JBL tosses Regal into the ropes and slaps on a sleeper on the return. Regal starts to fade in the middle of the ring. Regal’s left ear is bleeding. Regal gives JBL a back suplex to escape the sleeper. JBL gets up fast and pounds down Regal again. Swinging neckbreaker by JBL.

The Finish:

Regal is staggering and JBL goes for a clothesline from hell but Regal hits him with an exploder suplex. Near fall for Regal. Regal slaps on an STF, and JBL is near the ropes, fades for a moment but gets his hand on the rope. Regal stomps on him. JBL thumbs Regal’s eye and as Regal stumbles around, JBL hits the clothesline from hell and gets the pin.

Backstage:
Kristal is interviewing Booker T backstage with Sharmell and Booker is all amped up until Kristal asks Booker his “position” on the Rey Mysterio vs Kurt Angle match. Booker is not amused. Booker says he’ll beat them all if he has to. Gunner Scott walks up and politely tells Booker that a couple weeks ago, he beat Booker T. Booker says “tell me you didn’t just say that” and that nobody wants to talk about that. Booker is going to be King of the Ring, and that’s what people want to talk about. Booker then coughs and says he’d beat him any day, just not today, because he’s got a sinus infection. Some funny stuff here. He does say he’ll find an opponent for Gunner though, and that Gunner will be his bitch. Booker & Sharmell walk off as Booker coughs repeatedly. Gunner looks on with a rather emotionless face.

Lashley comes out quickly though and they collide. Lashley runs into Henry several times trying to take him down but Henry replies with a hard clothesline. Lashley is down again as Henry stomps him while he’s down. Henry picks up Lashley for a backbreaker. Near fall. Lashley gets to his feet and tries to fight Henry off but Henry headbutts him.

Lashley uses the ropes to pull himself up and Henry takes a run at him (I use the term run loosely), but Lashely pulls the rope down and Henry goes over the rope. Henry is now out cold and is counted out rather quickly.

Finlay rolls out of the ring and Gunner goes for a baseball slide but Finlay ties him up in the ring apron. Finlay beats him down and tosses him back in the ring.

Daivari says that the Great Khali has destroyed the Undertaker and that Undertaker is afraid of the Great Khali. Khali grabs the mic and well…….doesn’t say one word I could understand. The thing is, I’m not sure if his gibberish talk is intentional on WWE’s part of if we’re supposed to understand him. Tazz actually says that this time he believes that Undertaker is gone for good. I guess he’s the only one.

Winners Circle:
Kurt Angle’s “Winner Circle” moment is shown highlighting Angle’s return to Smackdown where he won the Battle Royal.
