Highlights are shown of John Cena being drafted to Raw. Highlights are then shown of last week’s 6 man match that saw JBL’s hand raised in victory followed by the drafting of Batista. After the highlights we cut to the ring where JBL is standing and talking and saying he was screwed again. He says the Montreal screw job looked like a parking ticket compared to what happened to him. There is a message on the bottom of the screen saying something about the London attacks and discretion is advised for this show. (Hassan?) JBL says tick tock, Batista has two weeks until the Great American Bash and he will once again become a champion. JBL says Batista looks like Tarzan, but JBL will make him cry like Jane. He calls himself a wrestling God and then his music hits even though he is not done yet. A limo pulls up and the Blue World Order comes out! Richards has the mic and he says his buddies’ name is John Blue Shaw Lamefield. Then he talks about Nova. Richards has an afro and he claims to be Orlando Jordan. JBL starts to talk, Richards tells him that he made an ass of himself at the ECW pay per view. JBL says this is his show and they will not come here and ruin it. He then picks on the Meanie asking him about the stitches, the bruises and so on. He calls him fat and then says Meanie could not kick his ass if he was tied to a tree. Meanie challenges him and JBL calls him a fat bitch and says if he wants to come to the learning tree, this one is free. Richards says the B.W.O is on Smackdown and they wanted to show that they are taking over. They whip out some spray paint and the Meanie writes the “B.W.O” on the hood!

Rey Mysterio asks him to reconsider; he says Eddie has done some screwed up things. Disgraced his family, and their people, but taking it to his family is just wrong.

Eddie says he has a chance to become a tag team champion and he has a great partner in Rey Mysterio, he’s only beaten him five times in a row. Mysterio says he does not want to be Eddie’s partner so Eddie says he will just go out there himself and tell the world the secret. Rey reconsiders and Eddie says he knew he’d see things his way.
Hassan is shown in the back bitching to GM Long. He says he was never pinned and never submitted last week so he should be the number one contender.

He then books Daivari in a match against the Taker tonight!
