SmackDown! Opener: Rey Mysterio, Chris Jericho & Jeff Hardy
SD! General Manager Teddy Long opens the show. He introduces Rey Mysterio. Mysterio says he’s home now again that he is back on SmackDown! every week. He says Jeff Hardy was the better man and invites anyone in the locker room to challenge him for his Intercontinental title tonight. This prompts Chris Jericho to make his way to the ring. Jericho says he is the real face of SmackDown! and demands an I-C title match against Mysterio tonight. Mysterio tells Jericho to shut up, pushes him down to the ground and leaves. Jeff Hardy comes out and says if Jericho wants an I-C title shot against Mysterio, he has to beat him first. Teddy Long clears things up. Tonight on SmackDown! it will be Chris Jericho vs. Jeff Hardy and if Jericho wins, it is a triple threat match at Judgment Day.
