June 30 , 2006 Smackdown results The June 29 , 2006 Edition of Smackdown is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s Smackdown brand , which took place on June 27 , 2006 at the Roanoke Civic Center in Roanoke , Virginia . United States Champion Bobby Lashley continued his meteoric rise to success on SmackDown with a huge win over King Booker in his first ever Steel Cage Match Friday night . Lashley and King Booker have been at each other ’ s throats ever since the King of the Ring Tournament , and as of late , King Booker ’ s Court has inserted themselves into the rivalry as well . After two straight weeks of having to contend with William Regal and Finlay as well as King Booker himself , General Manager Theodore Long decided to give Lashley an opportunity against his nemesis inside a steel cage to make sure that there would be no interference . Heading into SmackDown , it was still unknown whether Long ’ s decision would indeed work to Lashley ’ s favor . After all , King Booker is a veteran of Steel Cage Matches , while this marked Lashley ’ s first encounter inside the unforgiving structure . To make matters even more interesting , Lashley ’ s United States Championship was on the line . Early on , it looked as if , King Booker ’ s experience would pay off , as he had one leg out the cage door . But Lashley ’ s freakish strength allowed him to pull the King back in by his other leg , and the match continued . King Booker tried to ground Lashley by focusing on his previously injured knee – which was due largely in part to an attack by Regal , Finlay and the King – but Lashley was able to endure the punishment . However , even though they were locked out of the cage , Regal and Finlay still made their presence felt . As Lashley began to take control , he tried to climb over the cage , but Finlay and Regal were there , wielding a shillelagh and steel chair respectively , to send Lashley back into the ring . An enraged Lashley was able to knock them off the apron , but in the meantime , King Booker was trying to make his own escape . Lashley utilized his impressive agility to hop op on the other side of the cage and caught King Booker as he had one leg draped over the cage . The two battled momentarily on the top turnbuckle before Lashley tossed King Booker back into the ring . With Regal and Finlay just getting back to their feet , and with King Booker down on the mat , Lashley was able to climb out of the cage and land on the floor to successfully defend his United States Championship . It seems that no matter what is in Lashley ’ s way , he finds a way to overcome it . What is the next step for the young powerhouse ? Most likely , it will be whatever he wants it to be . While one Champion was celebrating at the end of SmackDown , another was down and out as the show kicked off . One week after being tricked into a disqualification loss thanks to World Champion Rey Mysterio and Chavo Guerrero , Mark Henry was back on his Path of Destruction . “ Last week I had Rey Mysterio right where I wanted him . I should be the World Champion , ” said Henry while addressing the Roanoke , Va . crowd . “ I had him whipped . I had him beat . I had him crawling at my feet . ” But before Henry could get much further he was interrupted by the retired Chavo Guerrero . Chavo said that he knew that Henry wanted him to come out of retirement so they could have a match , but that wasn ’ t going to happen . Responding to Henry calling all of the Guerreros parasites , Chavo said that the Guerrero name was bulletproof . “ I spit on the Guerrero name . I spit on you . And if your Uncle Eddie were alive , I ’ d spit on him , too , ” said Henry . Needless to say , Chavo stormed the ring upon hearing the inflammatory comments from the World ’ s Strongest Man . But Chavo was following his heart and not his brain . After a couple of hard punches , Henry was able to catch Chavo with the World ’ s Strongest Slam . That was just the beginning of what Henry was ready to unleash . The World ’ s Strongest Man followed that with a second - rope splash , and he went back up for one more . But before he could connect , World Champion Rey Mysterio rushed to the arena , trying to help Chavo . When Mysterio hit the ring , however , Henry landed on the World Champion instead . Henry continued to pour it on and rammed Rey back - first into the apron and kicked his head against the ring post . The World ’ s Strongest Man returned his attention to Chavo and slammed him back - first into the ring post twice before putting him in a bone - crunching back breaker . Mark Henry destroyed everything in his path , and it doesn ’ t look like anyone can stop him . The Cruiserweight Championship was also on the line Friday night as Gregory Helms defended the gold against Super Crazy . Just last week , Super Crazy and then - partner Psicosis had an opportunity at tag team gold , but the Mexicools imploded and the two came to blows . Unfortunately for Super Crazy , the same thing happened again during his singles match against Helms . Crazy had Helms locked in a submission maneuver , but Psicosis stormed the ring from out of nowhere and assaulted his former partner , resulting in a no - contest . Both Superstars were out for blood , and it seems like it may only be a matter of time before these two have to settle things one - on - one . Mr . Kennedy continued his impressive win streak since returning to SmackDown a few weeks ago with a big win over Gunner Scott . Kennedy continued to unleash a new , more aggressive attack . After brutalizing Scott , and taunting him along the way , Kennedy capped things off with a picture - perfect Ken - ton Bomb for the victory . But before he could finish his closing announcement as the victor , he was interrupted by The Great Khali ’ s music . As the monster made his way to the ring , Kennedy did the wise thing and fled the scene to fight another day . Scott was not as lucky . The Great Khali hoisted Scott up with ease and sent him crashing down to the mat with a two - handed chokeselam . To add insult to injury , The Great Khali was instructed by Daivari to put Scott into a bodybag , eerily reminiscient of some of Undertaker ’ s past actions . Daivari then laid out a challenge to Undertaker for a Punjabi Prison Match at The Great American Bash . No one is really sure what a match of this nature entails , but Undertaker is normally not one to back down to a challenge . Will Undertaker answer the call , or will he continue to rest in peace ? In addition to trying to help King Booker defeated Lashley in the main event , Finlay was also in singles action Friday night on SmackDown against Matt Hardy . Finlay debuted back in Januaray in a match against Hardy and was disqualified for using excessive force and not breaking the ref ’ s five - count . So , Hardy definitely had a score to settle . Finlay tried to use his shillelagh , but Hardy caught him and tried to use the weapon as well . The referee stepped in , and as he retrieved Finlay ’ s weapon , the fighting Irishman caught Hardy and dropped him on an exposed steel turnbuckle . One Celtic Cross later , and Finlay was the victor . Finlay ’ s friend Little Bastard was also at ringside and even tossed JBL a cold Guinness to enjoy during the match . The Toughest Man ever to wear a dress , Vito , also continued his winning ways . Vito used his alternative lifestyle to his advantage against the paranoid Simon Dean . Obviously uncomfortable with Vito ’ s unorthodox ring attire , Dean kept trying to cover up his opponent . In the end , Vito locked in a vicious arm bar , as Simon ’ s head was positioned up Vito ’ s dress , forcing the fitness guru to tap out . Vito ’ s armbar was surely painful , but it was probably nothing compared to the mental anguish that Dean will endure every time he thinks of that fateful Friday night in Roanoke . The Pitbulls , Kid Kash and Jamie Noble , also made their SmackDown debut . The duo showed that they are one of the most aggressive tag teams to join SmackDown in quite some time . They punched , kicked and slapped their opponents around the ring mercilessly . When they finally dished out enough punishment , they finished their opponents off with a tag team maneuver that resembled the Doomsday Device , which was utilized by the legendary Legion of Doom . Will the Pitbulls be able to become legends in their own right ? Only time will tell . Last year ’ s Diva Search winner Ashley was interviewed by Kristal to give her thoughts on the this year ’ s contest . Ashley said that above all else , the contest is about having fun . She mentioned that she was stoked when Kristal made the top - 10 , but the SmackDown interviewer did not look pleased . Apparently offended by the comment , Kristal responded by saying , “ I finished fourth , bitch . ” Apparently the Diva Search Contest is not all about fun and games .
