IN THE RING
Batista: Batista said he was a man of his word; that being said, this Sunday at One Night Stand, he is going to HURT Shawn Michaels. Batista said when he was done with Shawn Michaels he was coming after the winner of the Edge vs. Undertaker match. Vickie Guerrero (with The Edgeheads) interrupted and pointed out that Batista might get drafted off of SmackDown! before then. Vickie said if Batista loses to Shawn Michaels then all of SmackDown! will look bad and she will look bad as a General Manager. Batista cut in and said it had nothing to do with Vickie, or any of the brands, it was about he and Shawn. Batista picked a fight with the Edgeheads, but Vickie stopped it and said Batista doesn’t make the orders. Vickie booked Curt Hawkins and Zach Ryder against Batista and anybody who wants to be his partner tonight.

IN THE RING (THE CUTTING EDGE)
Edge + The Undertaker + La Familia (Chavo Guerrero & Bam Neely & Zack Ryder & Curt Hawkins): There was a table, a ladder, and a chair set up in the ring with the vacant World Heavyweight title symbolically hanging above the ring. Edge said there has been a dark cloud over his head in the WWE and its name is the Undertaker. Edge said if the Undertaker loses at One Night Stand he will be banished from the entire WWE. Edge said he was so confident because he has experience in TLC matches. Edge sarcastically asked for an Undertaker TLC highlight video to be played, but then pointed out Undertaker has never been in a TLC match. Edge said that he has set the standard for what a TLC match is and cemented his legacy in TLC matches. Edge played an video (spoofing Indiana Jones) featuring himself wrestling in the match that he made famous – Tables, Ladders, and Chairs! The Undertaker cautiously came out to the ring, but knew something was going to happen – and he was right! La Familia (Chavo Guerrero, Bam Neely, Zack Ryder & Curt Hawkins) wheeled a casket down to the ring.  Meanwhile, the Undertaker saw the problem way ahead of time and went for a preemptive strike on Edge, who slipped out and hid on the other side of the ring. The Undertaker fought back and was about to choke-slam Chavo Guererro onto a casket but Edge whacked Taker with a chair from behind! La Familia then issued a 5-on-1 beating and then stuffed the Undertaker into a casket to symbolize the end of his career (Edge’s prediction for One Night Stand). Edge climbed up the ladder in the ring and said he would become World Heavyweight champion again. The lights went out and when they came on t he Undertaker magically appeared on the other side of the ladder! Undertaker rammed Edge’s head into the ladder, but Edge slid out of the ring and escaped. Edge watched from the stage as the Undertaker gave one of the Edgeheads a Last-ride Power-bomb through the table!
