Joey Styles and Tazz at ringside following the opening video and there is a Thanksgiving feast by the entrance way. Interesting.
Non Title – CM Punk vs. Kenny Dykstra
We get footage from Sunday with Punk pinning The Miz. Oh geez, it’s the Spirit… oh wait, they broke up a year ago. The bell rings and Punk gets the arm wrench into a takedown. Punk hits a snap suplex and follows with a leg drop for a two count. Punk with a hammerlock, but he gets backed into the ropes. Kenny whips him, but Punk reverses and hits a double underhook backbreaker. Punk gets caught going up in the corner, but Punk reverses out and goes for the Go2Sleep.

Punk grabs Kenny and hits GO2SLEEP! Punk makes the pinfall at 6:15.
Winner: CM Punk
We get footage from last week with Matt Striker getting his ass handed to him by Kane after talking up Big Daddy V. We head to a commercial.
When we come back, Elijah Burke is in the ring to say that he is making history in the ECW again, saying he got an old friend to join him in the ECW. Elijah Burke then introduces SHELTON BENJAMIN!!! Are you kidding me??? I’m thinking of the possibilities and I agree with Tazz, he could change ECW for the better.
Shelton Benjamin vs. Tommy Dreamer
Shelton goes right into Dreamer’s face as the bell rings. Shelton gets an inside trip and pounds away on Tommy Dreamer. Shelton drops some elbows and then slingshots Dreamer into the bottom rope. Shelton locks in a neck vice as Tommy’s eyes bug out. Dreamer up to his feet, but Benjamin just whips Dreamer hard into the turnbuckle. Benjamin chokes Dreamer with the boot in the corner as Elijah smiles. Shelton locks in the neck wrench and Dreamer escapes with elbows to the gut. Shelton ducks a clothesline and hits a backbreaker in one move for a two count. Dreamer avoids a splash by Shelton in the corner and Dreamer gets the offense with the right hands. Dreamer blocks a T-Bone suplex and goes up top. Shelton just leaps up top and throws him off. Shelton measures Dreamer and hits something move that Styles called a bulldog into a DDT. That’s enough to end it at 3:24. I thought it was an RKO into a DDT, but whatever it was, the move looked sick, that’s all I can say.
Winner: Shelton Benjamin
Later tonight, we will get footage from a WWE exclusive between Layla and Kelly.
Deuce and Domino vs. Jesse and Festus
John Morrison and The Miz are at ringside, since they are the Smackdown Tag Champs. So we have to see these freaking teams? The bell rings and Festus goes nuts. Jesse starts with Deuce and gets a quick one count. Jesse hits a few drop kicks on Deuce and Domino gets hip tossed. Domino whips into the corner, Jesse slips to the outside and heads up top, but crashes and burns. Deuce tagged in and he gets a two count. Deuce drops and elbow on Jesse’s neck. Jesse gets nailed with a backbreaker from Domino as the tag happened when the camera is NOT on the match. Domino grounds Jesse with a headlock, but Jesse fights out. Domino ends in with a double knee and heads up top. Jesse gets a fist to the gut as he comes off and Festus gets tagged in. Festus drops Deuce and Domino with huge punches and back body drops. Jesse tagged in Festus launches him like a missile. Jesse makes the pinfall at 4:13 and Festus goes back to being an idiot.
Winners: Jesse and Festus
Backstage, Matt Striker talks smart to Kane about why he shouldn’t have laid a hand on Matt Striker last week. He uses too many Thanksgiving references and I don’t understand half of it. And look, Big Daddy V knows his name. We head to a break.
Kevin Thorn vs. Nunzio
What the fuck with Kevin Thorn? There is no more Goth, no more full black from head to toe, and he has spiked hair. And there is no explanation either. The bell rings and Thorn shoves off Nunzio. Nunzio tries to kick away, but Thorn gets a jawbreaker. Thorn with a huge powerslam, but Nunzio avoids a leg drop. Nunzio walks right into a flap jack. Thorn has Nunzio up with an over the shoulder backbreaker. Thorn takes Nunzio and rams him into the corner so he can hit Original Sin for the three count at 1:41.
Kevin Thorn
We now go to this exclusive footage between Kelly and Layla after ECW last week. We see Kelly leaving the arena and the girls get into a weak shoving match. Kelly then slaps Layla and it’s a food fight backstage. Okay….
After the break and Layla has a microphone and talks about what she is thankful for. She is thankful for The Miz and then she runs down Kelly, before saying she has a match with her next week. Kelly comes from behind her and slams a pie in Layla’s face. Layla then returns the favor with the gravy, followed by Kelly and cranberry sauce. Layla grabs the potatoes and dumps it and now it’s an all out food fight and it turns into a cat fight.
Handicap Match – Kane vs. Big Daddy V and Matt Striker
Big Daddy V and Matt Striker combine for 705 pounds… does that make Striker just five pounds?? We head to a commercial break during their entrance. Does Striker really need to be in this match? The bell rings as Kane fights off the attack of both men. Kane boots Striker in the face and clotheslines Big Daddy in the corner. Kane tries to chokeslam both men, but it won’t happen.
