He then connected with the Codebreaker. Jericho locked in the Walls of Jericho on his second attempt and then hit the Codebreaker to win.

Main Event. Six-Man Tag - Kane, RVD and Booker vs. Triple H, Scott Hall and Ric Flair

Let's hope this match doesn't take 25 minutes like usual. RVD and Kane were beating down Hall with tag moves. Hall came back and hit Booker with the Outsider's Edge. Kane and Triple H fought on the outside. RVD connected with a super kick to Hall and won.

Match 4. Los Guerreros vs. Edge and Rey Mysterio   #1 Contender's match

The winning team will challenge the Dudleyz at SummerSlam. Chavo and Rey were working a fast-paced match in the ring. Eddie and Edge finally came in. Eddie hit Edge with a brain buster. Eddie missed a springboard dive to the outside and Edge landed a DDT. Chavo hit Rey with the Gory Bomb and won.

Main Event. Hulk Hogan vs. John Cena

Hogan was waiting in the ring when Cena attacked him from behind. Cena landed a big hip toss and got a long two count. Cena landed a clothesline. Hogan came back and went for a big boot, but Cena countered it. Cena blocked a right hand and lifted Hogan up for the FU and won.

Recap: Chris Benoit will get a rematch for the IC title at SummerSlam. I actually look forward to SmackDown every week. What was Batista doing on SmackDown? He left that show.
