The main event of SmackDown! is a Six Pack Challenge for the SmackDown! Championship (or so we thought). Theodore Long announced that this will be an elimination style and the last man standing will be crowned the SmackDown Champion. The match begins with the first elimination being the Undertaker who was pinned by Muhammad Hassan after a chair shot to the back. After the Undertaker rose up he chased Hassan to the back eliminating Hassan by count out. Chris Benoit was then eliminated after Orlando Jordan interfered on and allowed JBL to hit a huge Clotheline From Hell to eliminate Benoit. Booker T then rolled up the Big Show for the 1-2-3 leaving it down to JBL and Booker T. Booker T went for the Scissor Kick before JBL dodged an hit Booker with a Clothesline From Hell for the 1-2-3 and making John Bradshaw Layfield the new SmackDown! Champion. JBL started to celebrate with the rest of the Cabinet before Theodore Long came down to inform JBL that even though he won the match, he is not the SmackDown Champion because SmackDown is no longer without a champion and announces the final draft pick and that is THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION BATISTA. Batista came down to the ring with the World Heavyweight Champion as JBL retreated to the back.
the World Heavyweight Champion Batista is now on SmackDown! He is the last WWE Draft Lottery pick.
