According to WWE.com a big match (literally) has been added to tonight's Judgment Day card: Big Show vs. Mark Henry.
Remember to check in first thing tomorrow for a full recap of this pay-per-view, which is highlighted by Triple H vs. Randy Orton... inside a steel cage.
Here's a clip of WWE star John Cena on Conan O'Brien from this past Friday, May 16:
In a recent interview with The Sun, John Cena had a lot to say regarding Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, noting that Johnson always wanted to be an actor and that he set the precedent of using professional wrestling as a stepping stone.
"...And Rock is one of those guy who gave the 'I've wanted to do this all my life' speech, but in actuality he wanted to be an actor. Now trust me, that is totally fine with me. It's OK. But just don't say one thing and do another. Because our fans are extremely loyal and when yo do that it pisses me off," Cena said.
"All of us work so hard to make the show as good as it can be. So it's hard when people give the impression of 'this is the greatest gig in the world' and then jump ship to make movies. Now I have every interviewer in the world asking me when I'm leaving to make movies - and the answer is I'm never doing that, because I love wrestling more than I do movies.

He is about to introduce the next qualifying match until Awesome Kong and Raisha Saeed come out with a briefcase.

Brother Ray is yelling at Kurt to turn around and when he does he sees Karen and AJ. Kurt proceeds to blast AJ with the chair. They continue the beatdown and it ends with the five of them posing.
While we have no received definitive dates for when Rey Mysterio and The Great Khali will return, an announcement on WWE.com serves as an indicator:
These two superstars are on the list of WWE grappler that will be appearing at a house show in Augusta, Georgia on July 13. Of course, cards are always subject to change, so we'll keep you posted.
No one cares about The Great Khali, obviously. But who do you wanna see Rey feud with when he returns?
TNA officials are hopeful that former WWE star Bobby Lashley signs with the company because they see him as another big name with star power.
Kurt Angle and Booker T have been in touch with Lashley a lot recently, trying to recruit him to their side. Most sources believe that it's only a matter of time before Lashley joins TNA.
Do you think Lashley would be a good fit in TNA?
The following WWE Smackdown results will air tomorrow night...
- The show opened with "La Familia" talking about how Edge was able to experience a medical miracle and win the Championship Chase to earn a shot at the World Title again. Truly amazing. Teddy Long then came out and said he was at WWE Headquarters all day and was given a statement to read from the WWE Board of Directors.
The statement said Vickie Guerrero must have her first match tonight on Smackdown; if she refused, she would be out as GM of Smackdown. Vickie yelled at Long for going behind her back and fired him. Long said she couldn't do that and quit. Long added that her opponent tonight would be The Undertaker.
- CM Punk defeated Chuck Palumbo.
- MVP, Big Show and Finlay all expressed feeling "used" in the Championship Chase last week and they laughed at Vickie for having to face Undertaker tonight. She reminded them she was still in charge and announced Big Show and Finlay would team to face MVP and a partner of his choosing.
- Michelle McCool defeated Layla.
- Big Show and Finlay defeated MVP and Mark Henry.
- Vladimir Kozlov defeated Funaki.
- Vickie Guerrero announced the main event would now be a 6 on 1 Handicap Match with herself, Edge, Chavo, Bam Neely, Ryder and Hawkins vs. Undertaker. Is anyone out there actually a fan of Vicki as GM?

- WWE U.S. Champion Matt Hardy defeated Shelton Benjamin.
- The Undertaker vs. Vickie, Edge, Chavo, Bam Neely & The Edgeheads ended in a No Contest. Chavo and Neely left to the back as they walked down with Vickie, Edge and The Edgeheads. It ended with Undertaker taking out Edge and Undertaker looking to chokeslam Vickie. Edge then took out Undertaker with a spear and they all retreated up the ramp to end the taping.
Rey Mysterio was scheduled to return to the ring from bicep surgery next month.
However, the WWE has pulled him from all house shows in June. No return date for Mysterio has been set at this time.
Moreover, WWE rumos claim there is plenty of second guessing going on among officials on the decision to allow Mysterio to opt for a new surgical procedure that was supposed to reduce his recovery time from six months to six weeks. As a result, Rey acquired an infection during the initial surgery that led to even more operations.
We'll have more on this story as it develops.
Here's a rundown of ECW on Sci-Fi last night...
The Miz defeated CM Punk. Late in the match, Punk went for the GTS, but Miz slipped out and hit the Reality Check for the win. Afterward, Morrison walked onto the stage and hugged Miz.
Kelly Kelly and Michelle McCool and Cherry defeated Victoria and Natalya and Layla. There were some good spots when Michelle and Victoria were in the ring together. In the end, Cherry rolled up a distracted Victoria for the surprise win.
Backstage, Lena Yada interviewed Shelton Benjamin, who said Kofi Kingston "walks around with a horseshoe stuck where the sun don't shine and I'm going to pull it out." Kofi confronted Shelton. Benjamin shoved Kofi, who responded with a weird looking shoulder tackle that left Benjamin lying on the ground.
Mike Knox squashed Colin Delaney. Colin finally got his entrance music. The match was all Knox, who finished off Delaney with his finisher. Afterward, Armando walked out and announced that he had just signed himself to a lucrative wrestling contract. He kicked Colin and demanded that the referee ring the bell to start their match.
Armando Estrada defeated Colin Delaney. Adamle referred to Armando as "the calculating Cuban." Quick squash. Delaney was bleeding from the nose after the match.
John Morrison (w/The Miz) defeated Kane in a non-title match. Miz was a nuisance to Kane early on, so CM Punk walked to ringside to stand in the corner of his Judgment Day partner just before the break. Morrison worked over the left knee injury that Kane has been selling ever since Chavo attacked it with a chair the week before Backlash.
