The Smackdown airing tomorrow night is the final show before the Royal Rumble. Let's look over the results of the taping...

Handicap Match: Rey defeated The Edgeheads by DQ
The ref called for the DQ as Rey was about to deliver the 619 to one of the Edgeheads (can anyone tell them apart?) and the other came in with a chair. After the match, Rey used a springboard dropkick to kick the chair back into his face. The crowd was dying for a 619.

Jimmy Wang Yang defeated Domino by pinfall
Deuce interferes and so does Shannon Moore. Yang, who had decent crowd support, wins with the moonsault.

Chuck Palumbo/Jaime Noble/Michelle McCool vs. Miz/John Morrison/Layla
This match didn't last long, but the segment did. They did the spot where Palumbo pushes Noble into Michelle McCool by accident and knocks her off the ring apron. Very odd segment after that. They call for the stretcher, and the whole time Michelle is being loaded on, Palumbo attacks Noble. This beat down takes a while and so does putting Michelle on the stretcher. Michelle gets up to stop Palumbo, but he throws her down and proceeds to kick Noble in the ribs. All the while, the ECW trio were just standing there watching awkwardly. This was a VERY LONG segment, and it's hard to imagine it all airs tomorrow night.

MVP's cuts a promo on Ric Flair with edited pictures of Flair playing golf and shuttle board. Flair makes a surprise appearance and the crowd goes nuts. Hilarious promo from MVP.

Belfast Brawl: Finlay vs. The Great Khali

The Undertaker defeats Big Daddy V
Quick match. The Undertaker hits all of his spots. He wins by Triangle Choke after BDV had kicked out of the chokeslam.

Edge defeats CM Punk
CM Punk botched his outside to inside springboard lariat. He slipped and just landed in the ring. A nice spot shows Edge reversing a Punk springboard into a powerslam. Punk's kicks look brutal live. Edge gets the win with a spear out of nowhere.

- Michelle McCool defeated Layla El.

- Next, MVP is in the ring and it’s time for the VIP Lounge with Ric Flair. MVP says he is better than Ric Flair and brings up the point that he defeated Ric Flair at Vengeance last year.
