When World Heavyweight Champion Edge and Chris Jericho collided in the main event, The Ultimate Opportunist picked up the win after Jericho was disqualified for bringing a steel chair into the ring.

But the action was far from over.

Chaos ensued when Jeff Hardy ran into the ring, hitting Edge with a Twist of Fate. Next, the high-flyer leaped from the top rope onto Jericho.

Capitalizing on the mayhem, CM Punk rushed into the arena, hoping to cash in his Money in the Bank contract and take Edge's title. However, Punk was once again stopped by Umaga.

With Umaga and Punk battling it out, Judgment Day opponents Hardy and Edge continued to wage war outside the ring. As their battle spilled out into the WWE Universe, Punk and Umaga continued to slug it out on the arena floor.

Finally, Intercontinental Champion Rey Mysterio stormed into the arena to attack Jericho and make his own statement just hours before Judgment Day.

At the start of the night, Edge and Chris Jericho traded words over who really runs SmackDown.

But, SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long cleared the air and let everyone know who's really in charge -- the WWE Universe! Next, the GM announced Edge and Jericho would square off in the main event. Holla! Holla! Holla!
