WWF SmackDown – 2/07/02

 

Hardcore Championship

DDP vs. Edge

Edge makes a spear charge at about 4:20 but DDP leapfrogs it sending Edge to the outside. He picks up Edge and goes for the diamond cutter but Edge pushes him into the railing. He pulls him back into the Edge-cution, DDP breaks and goes for a diamond cutter, but Edge picks him up and crotches him on the barricade. Edge hits an leaping guiri kick to the back of his head, and Page falls towards the ramp. Edge picks him up and goes for a suplex on the floor, but DDP hooks his leg, and tries reversing it. Edge falls out of the suplex and goes for a backdrop, but a fan stands up, hits Edge with a chair and DDP comes down hitting the diamond cutter. He pins Edge at 5:46. The fan pulls off a hat, wig, and beard to reveal Christian.

 

Vince tells Triple H that if Austin has the balls to show up tonight, he can wrestle in the main event against a mystery opponent.

Christian gets into the back. He tells Eddie that he “took out Edge for him, chico”. Eddie gets in his face and tells him that Edge isn’t who he’s facing tonight, chico.

 

Hardys vs. Rikishi/Gunn

Palumbo and O’Haire interfere at 6:30, knocking Jeff off the top rope while the ref is pre-occupied with Rikishi. Matt brawls with O’Haire while Palumbo rolls Jeff back into the ring and Gunn hits the fame-asser for the pin at 6:52.

 

Vince is talking to Heyman in the back. He announces that on Monday, Booker T and Test will face each other for the US title so Heyman can watch the WCW team deteriorate in front of his face.

Austin’s music hits and he’s on his way out to the ring. He says that he showed up tonight not because he wants to kick some ass, but he wants to remind Vince he’s not backing down. Just like at No Way Out, he’s not going to back down and he’s going to take both the titles. Rock wants to step up, he’ll get a stunner. HHH, stunner. Jericho, stunner. And that’s the bottom…(Jericho’s music) Y2J comes out and declares himself the future WWF and WCW champ. That’s not a guess kiddies, that’s a prophecy from your hero, your saviour, Chris Jericho. And Steve Austin will not be delivering a stunner, he’ll be on the receiving end of a Jericho stunner. And he will never, ever pin Jericho. Austin says that Austin 3:16 says he’s going to whip Jericho’s ass at No Way Out, and that’s the bottom line, because Stone Cold says so.

 

Matt Hardy tells Jeff that he feels horrible that he couldn’t help Jeff out and get past the Impact Players. JR mentions that Jeff is putting the weight of the team on his shoulders.

Vince tells Triple H and the Rock that he wants the two to team up tonight against Angle and Jericho, because after No Way Out, he wants to have both the titles on his side.

 

European Championship

Eddie Guerrero vs. Christian

Back and forth match. Eddie seems to let up at the end and runs out of energy as Christian works the neck. At 6:40, Christian goes for the impaler, but let’s Eddie out and meets Edge as he makes his run-in with the chair Christian hit him with earlier. Ref DQ at 6:51. He drops the chair and begins trading right with Christian. Edge ducks a punch then comes right back with a clothesline. He picks up the chair and hits the ground waiting for Christian to get back up. Eddie grabs the chair, kicks Edge in the gut causing him to release it, and uses the brainbuster on the chair. Christian gets up, looks at Eddie for a minute, than they both start kicking Edge. Double team work from both men. Christian picks up Edge and hits the Unprettier. Eddie hits a guillotine leg drop from the top with Edge on his stomach. Both men pose with their belts over him.

Rock’s music hits and he’s on the way out. He says that Vince expects him and Triple H to team up tonight, in spite of the fact that ten days from now, they’re in a match that pins the WCW and his WWF title on the line. Rock says that he’s not doing this for Vince, or Triple H, he’s doing this because he wants his shot at Jericho. Vince comes out and says that if Triple H and him don’t co-exist together tonight, Rock will have his title stripped before No Way Out. Rock says Vince is getting ahead of himself. He asks Vince why he thinks Rock losing his title will be motivation to team with that big nosed, boring piece of shit. Vince begins to reply but Rock cuts him off with “It doesn’t matter”. He wants Jericho tonight; he’ll layeth the smacketh downeth on Triple H and Austin’s roody poo, candyasses at No Way Out. Because the minute Rock walks into No Way Out, all of the Rock’s fans will be chanting his name. (pause) And everyone will watch as the Rock wins the WCW and WWF title, unifying them together. If you smell, what the Rock is cooking.

Eddie Guerrero cuts a promo in the back. He says that tonight, Edge learned that he was going to get hurt if he messed with Eddie Guerrero. Just like every wrestler who’s tried chasing the European title, Edge will fall at No Way Out to the frogsplash. Because not only is Eddie Guerrero the better wrestler, he will do whatever it takes to win. Cheat to win, placy by the rules and lose chico.

 

Palumbo and O’Haire vs. the APA

Mike Sanders comes out with Palumbo and O’Haire. He says that Palumbo and O’Haire asked for his help because they felt they weren’t in control. He says the tag team champs are tired of being treated like pawns in Vince’s and Flair’s chess game. Tonight, they take control of their own destiny. Tonight, they’re not going to put they’re title on the line. But they’re still going to prove just why they’re the champs. The APA storm the ring and are met by Palumbo and O’Haire. Big brawl to start in the ring, until Bradshaw and Chuck get knocked out of the ring. Sanders comes around with a belt and knocks Bradshaw in the head as Farooq starts to dominate in the ring.
