WWE Friday Night Smackdown Tapings for May 16:
- The show opened with "La Familia" talking about how Edge was able to experience a medical miracle and win the Championship Chase to earn a shot at the World Title again. Teddy Long then came out and said he was at WWE Headquarters all day and was given a statement to read from the WWE Board of Directors. The statement said Vickie Guerrero must have her first match tonight on Smackdown and if she refused, she would be out as GM of Smackdown. Vickie yelled at Long for going behind her back and fired him. Long said she couldn't do that and quit. Long added that her opponent tonight would be The Undertaker.
- CM Punk defeated Chuck Palumbo.
- MVP, Big Show and Finlay all expressed feeling "used" in the Championship Chase last week and they laughed at Vickie for having to face Undertaker tonight. She reminded them she was still in charge and announced Big Show & Finlay would team to face MVP and a partner of his choosing.
- Michelle McCool defeated Layla.
