Edge pokes him in the shoulder and Batista does so as well. Edge shoves Batista and Batista clocks him in the face. Batista stares him down and leaves.
Thoughts: Good show this week aside from the main event interview and Henry vs. Kane. I'm torn on One Night Stand as to if I will order it. In the Smackdown Wrestler of the Year Competition, Chris Benoit jumps to #3 as Undertaker and Batista retain the tie for #1. Deuce gets the jump of the week for getting to the #6 spot even though Domino took a bigger jump and Brian Kendrick suffers the fall of the week for being almost knocked out of the top ten.
