Thanks to RajahWWF for the following:

- I missed all Velocity and any dark matches that may have aired.

Smackdown! Tapings: [Airdate - 4/10]

- Michael Cole and Tazz come out for commentary. They announce that Brock Lesnar will fight Matt Hardy and that Piper's Pit will return to WWE after a 14 year absence all tonight.

- Matt Hardy vs. Brock Lesnar. This is a champion vs. champion match, not title vs. title. Lesnar starts off the match with a huge clothesline but Matt uses his title to the back of Brock's head to turn the tide. Brock spends much of the match selling his "concussion" but he ends up hitting the F-5 for the pinfall victory.

- We see clips from last week where Vince McMahon supposedly "killed" Hulkamania, saying it will die a death of leprosy, etc. etc.

- Torrie Wilson & Brian Kendrick vs. Nidia & Jamie Noble. Sable comes down before the match and sits down for commentary. She flips through Torrie Wilson's Playboy and applauds Torrie when she comes out. Nidia and Noble double team quite a bit, but they have a little miscommunication problem which allows Torrie to hit a DDT for the pinfall. Sable acts impressed afterwards.

- Backstage, Chris Benoit congratulates Brock Lesnar for his title win at Wrestlemania 19 but he says he's looking forward to facing him at Backlash. Rhyno comes up and says that it's going to be him facing Brock at Backlash. Lesnar tells them to go out tonight and beat the hell out of each other but come Backlash, one of them will have hell to pay.

- Chris Benoit vs. Rhyno (Semi-final). Rhyno misses a Gore mid-match, while Benoit hits a pretty long flying headbutt which gets a near three count. Benoit ends up winning the match via a simple backslide.

- Vince McMahon Interview. Vince says that it was just one week ago that he permanently terminated Hulkamania. As a matter of fact, he gave Hulkamania a lethal dose of leprosy. But he will honor his contract with Hogan - he will pay him every nickel of his contract to stay at home. By the time his WWE contract expires, Hogan will be so old he'll be confined to a wheelchair. But don't worry Hogan - Vince says he will make sure there is a reservoire below his wheelchair to collect his bodily fluid. Vince goes on to say that he looked on the shelf beside Hogan and decided to pull off another one of his creations - fourteen years later: Piper's Pit with Rowdy Roddy Piper.

- Piper's Pit. Vince introduces himself as Piper's special guest this week. Piper says let's get one thing clear: nobody but nobody named Piper or Piper's Pit except him. Vince makes fun of Piper's belly saying the last time he saw a belly that big, Mae Young was nine months pregnant. Vince then asks Piper if he wants to join the Kiss My Ass Club but then changes his mind. Piper then talks about Vince's failures - the bodybuilding federation, the XFL, etc. The only job Vince has been able to hold is the one his daddy gave him. Vince says that they have one thing common though - their dislike for Hogan. Roddy says that Vince did make Hulkamania, he created everything about you. Vince puts his arm around Piper so Roddy tells him to get his arm off him because he hates Vince too. McMahon calls Piper a son of a bitch so Piper says it takes one to know one. They end up shaking hands and Roddy says he hates Hogan too. Vince's music hits so Roddy asks for it to stop and says that even though Vince created Hulkamania, he did something that even Piper himself couldn't do - he got beat by Hogan 1-2-3. Rikishi then comes out with a coconut and asks him if it looks familiar. Since he was a little kid, he's remembered a lot of things. For 20 years, he remembers what he did to Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka. Piper says that's not between you and me, but Rikishi says he's one of his family members. As this going on, Sean O'Haire comes from behind and clotheslines Rikishi. He uses a chair to Rikishi's gut and back area, laying him out. Piper then says "you wanna be like Snuka" and then smashes the coconut over Rikishi's head just like he did to Snuka 20 years ago.

- They show the promo for the two French-Canadiens that aired on Raw. Sylvain Grenier and Rene Dupree, I think?

- Team Angle vs. Tajiri & Rey Mysterio. I guess this is not for the title. Before the match, they say they will dedicate this match to Kurt Angle, who will be undergoing neck surgery tomorrow. They demand the fans to lower their heads but get booed so they make fun of Cubs inability to win the World Series for some more heel heat. Apparently, Tajiri picked Mysterio as his partner because Funaki was injured last week at the hands of Haas & Benjamin. Mysterio hits a legdrop on Haas to pick up the pinfall victory.

- Backstage, Josh Mathews interviews Undertaker about John Cena's comments last week. Taker talks about being respected and says that he has more showertime than John Cena has ring time. He promises to beat up John Cena tonight, saying he'll find out why his mouth shouldn't write checks that his ass can't cash.

- Nathan Jones vs. Bill DeMott. This is obviously Jones' in-ring debut (at least on TV). Match was quick and pretty standard with Jones pinning DeMott after a boot to the face.

- Backstage, the FBI talk to the police about some of their items that have gone missing. They say they have a pretty good idea who might have done this but don't say anything.

- Backstage, Sable knocks on Torrie's dressing room. Torrie says she's in the shower, so Sable says it's okay, it's just her. She congratulates her on the match and on her Playboy, which is apparently selling almost as fast as hers. Torrie asks Sable if she's seen her towel and Sable says yes "right here" and tells her to come and get it.

- Backstage, the cops arrest Nathan Jones saying they need to take him in for questioning. Undertaker comes up and snaps, saying that Jones has already paid his debt to society. The officer says that Jones isn't under arrrest - they just want to ask him some questions.

- John Cena vs. Undertaker (Semi-final). Cena cuts another one his promos before the match, basically saying he'll beat Undertaker. Taker almost pins Cena with a chokeslam about halfway through but Cena gets his foot on the ropes. Soon after this, they cut to a commercial. Cena then uses the chain on Taker before going to work on his injured elbow on the outside. Cena tells the ref to count Taker out and continues to keep him out of the ring when he tries to get back in. The ref ends up getting bumped by Taker so Cena goes for the Death Valley Driver but it's countered into the Last Ride. With the ref still out, the FBI comes down and attacks Undertaker. Palumbo hits Taker with a steel chair and they continue to beat him up as Jones isn't here due to being taken out of the building earlier in the night. As the ref comes to, Cena crawls on Undertaker and gets the win and advances to the finals against Chris Benoit next week. - End of show.

CENA WINS!!!  Hell yeah!
