Vickie Guerrero and Michael Cole in “Unfinished Business”

Now Teddy, this is far enough. Stop. Good evening, and happy new year! Welcome to the first Friday Night SmackDown! of 2008. I just want to set the record straight, that if Batista or Undertaker so much lays a finger on your World Heavyweight Champion, their chances of regaining a championship will go up in smoke. Now, I've been consulting with the love of my life, and in the spirit of competition, I've decided to make a beat the clock challenge. Now, tonight's winner of the beat the clock challenge will go one on one with your World Champion at the Royal Rumble. Now among the participants tonight will be the man who loves to fight, Finlay, Rey Mysterio, Batista, and The Undertaker. Ladies and gentlemen, it is my sincere pleasure to introduce to you, a man of extraordinary credentials, a keen sense of fairness, and oratory skills that are par excellence, please help me welcome, SmackDown!s new color commentator, Jonathan Coachman!
