We are in Washington, DC with Smackdown spoilers before Raw airs.

Matt Hardy and Animal vs. MNM.

Hardy with a Twist of Fate for a two count at one point. Animal kicks Johnny Nitro out of the ring at one point and they hit the Doomsday Device on Mercury. It's broken up. MNM end up winning by pinfall.

Animal turned on Hardy, blaming him for the loss and proceeds to kick his ass outside the ring before returning to the back. Then, he came back out and worked on Matt's knee against the ring post. He went to the back to a chant of "You suck!"

The building is packed to the top. Some tix were available at box office today. Nothing is tarped off.

There was a Hall of Fame video with Bret Hart and Eddie Guerrero. There were lots of "Eddie" chants.

Finlay vs. Lashley was next. Tony Chimmel called him Bobby Lashley. Finlay gets pissed and throws chairs in the ring. Lashley was DQ'd after hitting Finlay with a chair. It turned into an all-out brawl, and refs and security come out. Lashley kicked the snot out of Finlay, up through the aisle as well. Security couldn't break them apart. The crowd was HOT for Lashley.

William Regal put Paul Birchall down for being a pirate. Paul's first match is next week.

Now it's time for Kurt Angle vs. The Undertaker.

There was not a big ovation for Angle. HUGE pop for Taker. It started with Angle hitting punches in the corner. Taker came back with punches of his own. Taker chased the ref out of the ring. Angle worked Taker's arm. Taker went for the Old School rope walk and Angle countered by knocking him off the ropes. There there were chants of "Let's go Angle/Let's go Taker". Angle hit 7 punches to head in a row. Taker tried for The Last Ride powerbomb, but couldn't get it. He knocked Angle off apron. Outside the ring now, Angle was thrown into steps. There was great back and forth action all the way through.

Then, Taker called for the Tombstone but Mark Henry ran in for a DQ on Angle as he hit the Undertaker. Henry continued to beat on Taker over at the Spanish Announce Table. The crowd booed big time. Angle went to the back. Henry got major boos. People were legitimately pissed at the DQ finish. It was such a great match but a lame ass finish.
