Tonight is the 2008 WWE Great American Bash. There are a total of 6 matches on the card tonight from Raw, Smackdown and ECW.
Here’s the matches you’ll see from Smackdown tonight
A Fatal Four Way tag team match for the WWE Tag Team Championships.
ECW’s The Miz and John Morrison will be defending the tag team titles against their long time rivals Finlay and Hornswoggle from ECW they will also be defending against two other teams. Kurt Hawkins and Zack Rider from Smackdown and Jesse and Festus from Smackdown.
It will be Natalya going one on one with Michelle McCool for the new WWE Divas Championship. The rivalry between these two divas has been going on since Michelle McCool won the favorit diva competition to win a custom made motor cycle two months ago on Smackdown.
Smackdown’s main event will be for the WWE Championship. Triple H will be defending the title against EDGE but will the actions that happened last Friday night on Smackdown cause EDGE the WWE Title? We’ll find out. Friday night on Smackdown EDGE and Vickie Guerrero had finally gotten married but the night was anything but happy for the new couple as Triple H came out at the end of the show exposing EDGE as a cheater with Vickie Guerrero’s weading planner.
Here’s what’s on ECW’s match card for tonight.
The WWE United States Championship will be on the line as Matt Hardy defends the title against Smackdown superstar Shelton Benjamin.
The ECW Championship will be on the line as Mark Henry will be defending against an ECW Original in Tommy Dreamer. This match came into play when Tommy Dreamer sent out a challange to Mark Henry just two nights after the Night of Champions.
Tonights card for Raw.
A rivalry will finally end tonight as Shawn Michaels goes one on one with Y2J Chris Jericho. This rivalry started all the way back at Backlash when Shawn Michaels faked a leg injury to defeat Batista the next night on Raw, Jericho said that Shawn better have been telling the truth or Shawn would get the worst of Jericho. Two weeks later Shawn Michaels was on Chris Jericho’s highlight reel where Michaels confessed that he was faking, Jericho then smashed Shawn Michaels into a plasma TV thus causing an eye injury to Shawn Michaels. Shawn then threw more gas on the fire by causing Chris Jericho the Intercontinental Championship at the Night of Champions.
John Cena will be facing off with John Bradshaw Layfield in a New York City Parking Lot Brawl match. In this match Cena and JBL will go one on one in a car surrounded parking lot, there are no disqualifications so Cena and JBL can beat the life out of eachother with what ever is in the cars or they could use the cars if they choose. Amazingly this match up will still take place after JBL had smashed John Cena between two cars last Monday night on Raw.
And finally the World Heavyweight Championship will be on the line. New World Champion CM Punk will be defending his title against The Animal, Batista. CM Punk won the World Heavyweight Championship by cashing in his Money In The Bank on Smackdown visitor EDGE after EDGE was beaten till he was out cold by Batista. Batista earned his way into the match by winning a Fatal Four Way match a week later.

Sounds like a good show I can’t wait for RAW

the parking lot brawl was total shit. so much cars being damaged and yet john cena and jbl didn’t have a scratch on them and just because it wasn’t in the ring doesn’t mean we can’t get some fucking commentary, listening to 2 men breathing heavy and yelling is too gay for me. the only thing good about it is that jbl hid his man titties
July 22nd, 2008 at 6:24 am
Gotta love the plastic cars, Cena leaving a burning car without a scratch, and JBL winning. It looked like a fucking night out at the local pub, that’s how bad it was.
Kane kicking the shit out of the cameraman was the best part of the ppv lol. Kane + Mask = Awesomeness.
