*Danny Hodge was there.
*WWE introduced the newest member of their broadcast team, Lauren, a really pretty blonde, who sang the national anthem.
*Smackdown opened with CM Punk coming out and cutting a promo. This led to Undertaker coming out with the Druids. They had kept Teddy Long in a coffin and Long announced a Hell in A Cell between Taker and Punk for the PPV. He also announced they would fight later tonight.
*WWE IC champ John Morrison and Finlay defeated Mike Knox and Dolph Ziggler when Morrison pinned Knox with Starship Pain.
*Kane killed Slam Master J with a chokeslam. This was set up by a vignette where J was caught spraypainting Teddy Long’s office.
*Batista beat WWE Unified Tag champ Big Show by DQ when Chris Jericho interfered. Batista said he and Rey Mysterio challenged them for the Tag belts.
*DH Smith pinned JTG (I think – I went to the merchandise stand to get the WCW DVD. $30 and that included an NWO t-shirt!)
*CM Punk defeated Undertaker via countout. Taker chokeslammed him and stared down at him to end the show.
Also, I missed it but was told they had Vince McMahon on the show via a backstage vignette with Punk.
