The preview on WWE.com notes that Kennedy will be looking to exact revenge on somebody for losing the Money in the Bank Ladder Match at WrestleMania XXIV. According to company's official website, the storyline reason for Kennedy being out of action for a few weeks is that he just "fully recovered" from the Money in the Bank Match.

WWE Smackdown as taped in Boston Tuesday night. Here are the results that will air tomorrow night...
The Great Khali calls out Big Show. Yawn. Big Show comes out and the translator tells him of a peace offering. First offering is a large bottle of fresh water; next, they uncover a bird cage with a chicken in it. They tell Big Show he will never go hungry again because of the eggs he'll enjoy from it. Is this segment serious?
Finally, they uncover the animal carrier and a goat is brought out. Yes, there was a real live chicken and goat. Big Show understands how Khali feels and he wants to express his feelings, too. Show extends his hand and Khali takes it. Show hits Khali with a right hand sending him to the mat. Big Show leaves while officials come out to check on Khali.
Jimmy Wang Yang and Shannon Moore vs. John Morrison and the Miz
There were some great spots in this match and some great false finishes. The end came after Yang sent Morrison to the outside, only to get the neckbreaker portion of the Reality Check from The Miz to end the match.
Winners: John Morrison and The Miz
Edge and Vicki Guerrero are shown in a health spa getting a couples massage, while Teddy Long is standing in the background. Edge says that this was a great idea by Vicki because he's so stressed out from losing to The Undertaker.
Finlay w/Hornswoggle vs. Matt Striker
Hornswoggle threatened Striker with a bucket, but only got confetti thrown on him. Hornswoggle hands him an umbrella, but he didn't know what to do with it so he threw it to the ground. Hornswoggle opened up the umbrella for himself and told him to look behind. Finlay threw a bucket of water at him. The final moments of the match had Hornswoggle run into the ring with a pretend mallet to hit Striker in the back, distracting him. The ref grabbed the mallet to throw it out of the ring, allowing Finlay to hit Striker with a shilleleigh shot for the win.
Winner: Finlay
