Heyman locked into Steel Cage Match with Lesnar!

Kurt Angle breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that he would not have to face Brock Lesnar next week in a Steel Cage Match. But Angle's agent, Paul Heyman, was not so lucky. After defeating Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin in a Handicap Match, Lesnar was allowed to choose a Team Angle member as his opponent next week. Lesnar could very well have chosen to take on the WWE Champion, but he put his personal need for revenge ahead of his career aspirations and said he would be seeing Paul Heyman in the cage next week!

Angle had already dodged a bullet earlier in the night against an unlikely opponent -- Brian Kendrick. Kendrick convinced Stephanie McMahon to give him a chance to earn a spot on SmackDown! The general manager stated that if Kendrick could last five minutes in the ring with Angle, he'd be given a job. Although Angle toyed with Kendrick for much of the match, the would-be Superstar surprised everyone with his toughness, quickness and ingenuity. It looked like Kendrick might put together enough of a fight to last the five minutes, but Angle got the pinfall with two seconds left on the clock! Afterwards, Angle continued to beat on Kendrick and even hit him with an F-5 to send Lensar a message!

Stephanie McMahon announced another executive decision she had made. Thanks to her dealings, a SmackDown! Diva will be appearing in next month's edition of Playboy Magazine, and that Diva will be none other than Torrie Wilson!

SmackDown! fans were shocked to see Rhyno make his return to in-ring action this week, teaming with Chris Benoit. The Man-Beast stepped back into competition for the first time in more than a year. He looked just as dominant as ever, hitting his powerful Gore with devastating force and picking up the win in a tag team battle against Matt Hardy and Shannon Moore

Nunzio's Full-Blooded Italians -- Chuck Palumbo and Johnny "The Bull" Stamboli -- couldn't help him overcome Eddie Guerrero. Eddie countered Nunzio's attempt at a pinfall and managed to pick up his own three-count! After the bell, Los Guerreros brawled with the FBI until Rikishi came and helped Eddie & Chavo clear the ring!
