Scrambling for position...

From WWE.com:

This Friday on SmackDown, WWE Champion Triple H will find himself staring up at The Great Khali as the two Superstars will go one-on-one just two days before The Game puts his gold on the line in the first-ever WWE Championship Scramble Match at Unforgiven. Can The Game overcome the Punjabi Giant and survive to defend his gold at Unforgiven?

Also, Scramble participants will all be in action when The Brian Kendrick and Jeff Hardy face off for the first time ever, while former United States Champion MVP takes on the current title holder, Shelton Benjamin. As these four men look to gain momentum for the Scramble at Unforgiven, will anyone emerge with the upper hand?

Maryse is on a mission. After teaming with Natalya to defeat Divas Champion Michelle McCool and her partner, Maria, a crazed Maryse initiated a knockdown brawl with the unsuspecting title holder. As announced by WWE.com, Maryse has earned a title opportunity at Unforgiven against the All-American Diva. Can the sultry Maryse take home the gold?

For the second week in a row, Big Show displayed his immense displeasure about being overlooked for the WWE Championship Scramble Match, wrecking havoc during non-title action between WWE Tag Team Champions Curt Hawkins & Zack Ryder and Jesse & Festus. How long will SmackDown Superstars continue to suffer the fury of the very disgruntled World's Largest Athlete?

Find out the answers to these questions and more on SmackDown, Friday night at 8/7 CT. And, don't miss all three unprecedented Championship Scramble Matches at Unforgiven, live Sunday, Sept. 7, only on pay-per-view.
