CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas – Batista, the only SmackDown participant who has fought in the Elimination Chamber before, opened SmackDown by telling our fans that he meant what he said last week: He would win the unprecedented second Chamber at No Way Out. The other participants, however, didn’t share the same view as The Animal, and the dissent led to a Six-Man Tag Match later in the night.

United States Champion MVP was the first to voice his displeasure, followed by Big Daddy V and his mouthpiece, Matt Striker. The Great Khali entered the arena to show his dissent, as did Finlay. Suddenly, the lights then went out, and Undertaker appeared in the ring ready to show his dominance. The Chamber at No Way Out is going to be literally the biggest ever, with the combined weight of the Superstars equaling nearly a ton.

Instead of an all out brawl to begin SmackDown, the six Chamber opponents were put into a Six-Man Tag Team Match with the Irishman, The Animal and The Phenom teaming up to face The Dominating Force in WWE, the Punjabi giant and the Ballin’ Superstar. With each man trying to gain momentum before the Elimination Chamber, the tension in the ring was as intense as the action.

When it looked as if Khali and his partners had the match in hand, Finlay turned the tables, nailing the 7-foot-3, 420 pound giant with his shillelagh. All hell broke loose, and no Superstar could trust the others, evident by the stare down between Batista, Finlay and Undertaker. But the message was sent by all the participants: There will be no intimidation and no way out as they will all fend for themselves in the Elimination Chamber on Feb. 17.

Bringing the crazy
One Superstar who stayed true to his own personal mission is Chuck Palumbo. Last week, the revved-up Superstar warned Michelle McCool that whatever he did to Jamie Noble would be her fault and that he would make her watch. On SmackDown, Palumbo lived up to his word when he defeated Noble for the first time and then unleashed a maniacal assault on the already weakened Noble.

Despite McCool’s desperate plea, Palumbo destroyed her friend Jamie Noble, even making our fans and McCool believe he was unhinged enough as he teased running over Noble with his motorcycle. Noble injury update...

Paper or plastic?
The returning Jesse & Festus hoped to pick up where they left off a few weeks ago before they left SmackDown to seek help for Festus’ changing personalities. Paraded out in a paper bag by Jesse, Festus’ “new” look was ultimately unveiled, and the face of the returning Superstar seemed to remain the same. Another thing that didn’t seem to change was the focus of Festus when the bell rang, which gave the “Biscuits ‘n’ Gravy” duo the victory over the boys from the Other Side of the Tracks.

Fire extinguished
Two weeks ago on ECW on Sci Fi, Kane defeated ECW’s “Gold Standard” Shelton Benjamin by count-out. On SmackDown, Benjamin returned the favor, albeit inadvertently. After a thunderous blow that sent Shelton flying back into the ring, Kane was unable to answer the referee’s 10-count, giving Shelton the victory. Will these two Superstars continue to clash, and will Kane find a way to bring to a halt the man who claims, “There ain’t no stoppin’ me?”

Two for the road
Curt Hawkins & Zack Ryder continued their recent string of successes with another win over Jimmy Wang Yang & Shannon Moore. Hawkins & Ryder’s rise to prominence in the tag team division was at the expense of SmackDown’s resident redneck & Moore, who have now lost two straight to Edge’s cohorts.

Uneasy return
World Heavyweight Champion Edge hosted another edition of “The Cutting Edge” on SmackDown, this time to welcome back his lover, General Manager Vickie Guerrero. The Rated-R Superstar claims to have a “life altering question” for Vickie next week on SmackDown, but his focus on this night was Rey Mysterio. The GM was returning after being injured by Mysterio at Royal Rumble, and the reunited lovers demanded Rey apologize to Guerrero.

The Master of the 619 did what he could to show his heartfelt apologies, but what ensued was the Ultimate Opportunist trying to take out his No Way Out opponent before their championship clash on Feb. 17.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas – With No Way Out just nine days away, Friday’s edition of “The Cutting Edge” included events that could have implications on Rey Mysterio’s battle to regain the World Title, but also life outside the ring for Edge and SmackDown General Manager Vickie Guerrero.

With Vickie back on SmackDown, Edge kicked off his controversial show by saying that he had a Valentine’s Day surprise in store for her next week – one that could have “life-altering” implications.

He continued to show his love by demanding an apology from Rey Mysterio for the 619 to the GM during their Royal Rumble match. “If you don’t, I will come back there and grab you by your mask to do it,” Edge roared over the mic.

It didn’t take long for Mysterio to make his way into the ring and approach the wheel-chair-bound GM. She immediately confronted him, saying, “Rey, I demand an apology tonight!” Mysterio could only utter a few words: “Vickie I think…” before he was met with a swift backhand from the GM. As he tried to get out more words, he was the recipient of yet another smack.

“I’m here to explain my side of the story,” Mysterio offered as he put his hand on Vickie, as if to comfort her. But, she wanted no part of it and grabbed his arm. This drew an immediate attack from Edge, who pushed the masked Superstar to the mat.

The Rated-R Superstar then went after Mysterio with two steel chairs he grabbed from outside the ring. But, his attack backfired as the No. 1 contender kicked one of the chairs back into Edge’s face, knocking him to the ropes. Mysterio then capitalized and went in for the 619, knocking the champion out of the ring. Next, he West Coast Popped from the apron onto Edge, forcing him down onto the announcer table.

As Edge lay delirious outside the ring, Mysterio came back in to confront Vickie. It looked as if he was going to lay a hand on her, but instead he stared her down and finally gave her what Edge demanded. “I almost forgot. I’m sorry,” he said.

Later, Diva Eve caught up with the recovering Rated-R Superstar in the locker room area to follow-up on his earlier announcement. She inquired, “Are you going to ask the question that every woman wants to hear? Are you going to propose to Vickie?” Clearly offended by Eve’s line of questioning, Edge declined to answer, saying everyone will have to wait until next week’s SmackDown to find out.

Despite all of the personal issues between Rey, Edge and Vickie, it’s clear the Master of the 619 has a burning desire to become champion once again at No Way Out. But before Rey meets Edge on pay-per-view, the shape of their encounter could be completely altered once Edge asks his life-changing question. Whatever the Ultimate Opportunist asks the GM next week, will it be out of his burning love for her, or will it be part of a brilliantly laid plan to build even closer ties to management to continue his championship reign?
