Batista 1, Kennedy 2
Over the last few weeks, Mr. Kennedy has narrowly escaped the unrelenting grasp of Batista. Using his ring savvy, and a whole lot of luck, Kennedy reeled off two consecutive victories over The Animal. At the Bash, it was a DQ, and last week, it was a count-out, but this week on SmackDown, The Animal finally got his prey. In their two previous encounters, built-up frustration caused Batista to be overaggressive, and he suffered the consequences. On this night, The Animal’s aggression led to a definitive and dominating win over his cocky and annoying opponent. Batista put Kennedy away in convincing fashion, dropping the Green Bay native with the spinebuster and then the signature Batista Bomb. After the match, Michael Cole caught up with Batista to congratulate him on his hard fought victory. Batista shook off the accolades and sent a message to SmackDown’s top stars: “The only congratulations I want is when I get my Championship back.” (watch the video)
