Unfinished Business” was the order of the night as SmackDown! exploded from San Antonio, Texas! In the case of the Big Show, that meant unleashing his wrath upon WWE Champion Brock Lesnar, as well as Kurt Angle and Mr. America! As for Angle, his unfinished business had to do with returning to the ring for the first time since WrestleMania with a hard-fought win over Charlie Haas.

With the ring reinforced after last week’s unbelievable match, Big Show and Lesnar collided once again with the WWE Championship on the line. The match came to an end when Charlie Haas & Shelton Benjamin interfered on Show’s behalf, but that was only the beginning of the incredible action.

Kurt Angle immediately hit the ring to help out Brock, just as Brock had helped him earlier in the show. But Big Show’s fury would not be denied. He viciously chokeslammed Angle, and when Mr. America tried to make his presence felt and bodyslam Show, the star-spangled Superstar received a chokeslam for his troubles as well.

Earlier in the night, the former Team Angle hit the ring to verbally run down their one-time leader, and called him out. Refusing to take their insults lying down, Angle challenged either of them to a match, his first since suffering serious neck injuries in his match with Lesnar at WrestleMania. Haas accepted the challenge, and it was on!

Kurt proved that he hasn’t lost a step during his recovery, delivering an incredible match with the young Haas. In the end, Angle’s experience won out, but Shelton Benjamin wasn’t impressed, and tried to put the boots to the Olympian after the match was over. That’s when Lesnar, Angle’s former adversary, hit the ring to defend the man he’s developed a hell of a lot of respect for in recent weeks.

Vince McMahon brought Zach Gowen out and distracted Mr. America and attacked him while Big Show snuck and choke slamed Hogan for the pin fall.

The dastardly Vince McMahon was quite proud of himself for beating Zach Gowen in an arm-wrestling contest, even though he had to kick the handicapped young man in his artificial leg in order to gain the victory! Gowen appeared to be on the verge of tears as McMahon berated him and dismissed him to the back. It looks as though Gowen’s fantasy of competing in WWE will remain just that, a fantasy.

Prior to this, Vince had forced Gowen’s buddy Mr. America to leave the ring by beating him in an arm-wrestling match. Of course, in order to win that one, the chairman had to cheat as well—this time, Sable exposed her Sable-icious “puppies” to Mr. A, causing him to lose his concentration (can you blame him??) and the match!

No pyro's tonight as we start right up with the bagpipes and Piper's Pit. Rowdy Piper and Sean O'Haire come down to the ring Piper gets on the mic. Piper says his guest tonight is truly special. Piper says he knows his guest is special because he pulled his leg off a few weeks ago. Piper introduces Zack Gowen as his guest tonight, but instead of Zack, Vince McMahon came down to the ring. Vince promised to make a change for the better last week and he was going to start on that promise right now. Vince introduces Zack who comes out with Mr. America. Vince says he will offer Zack something he's wanted and that's a chance to become a WWE Superstar. Next Week in Orlando, Vince will take on Zack in an arm wrestling contest and if Zack wins, he will get a contract. O'Haire gets in Mr. America's face and that distracts Zack long enough for Vince to push Zack backwards and trip him over Piper's body. The three heels scatter as Mr. America helps Zack to his feet.

Later in the show:

Stephanie McMahon is shown walking back to her office as Vince is seen just coming out of it. Steph says if Vince doesn't give Zack a contract, then she will. Vince says if she does give him a contract she is fired. Vince says Stephanie needs an assistant and he found that person. Vince tells Steph to follow him into her office so she can meet her new assistant. Vince introduces Stephanie to Sable, who is now the new assistant to the GM. Steph reminds Vince that Sable did file a lawsuit against the company for ual harassment a few years back. Vince says that was the past and this is now. Vince leaves and Sable gets up from the desk and just stares at Stephanie.
