WWE Tag Team Champions MNM vs. Matt Hardy & Mystery Partner
February 19th, 2006 
A couple of weeks ago, General Manager Theodore Long held a Fatal Fourway Match on SmackDown to determine who would challenge Booker T for the United States Championship at No Way Out. Chris Benoit, JBL, Orlando Jordan and Matt Hardy all wanted the opportunity, but only one Superstar could earn it.
After putting forth a valiant effort, Hardy got caught in Benoit’s Crossface. He tried to hold on, but Hardy eventually tapped out to the devastating maneuver. Hardy looked rather dejected in the back following the loss, which is when MNM’s Melina came up to him. Melina said that it was too bad that he wasn't part of a winning team like MNM. She also told Hardy that if he scratched her back, then she would scratch his. Hardy seemed puzzled at the unusual proposition.
This week on SmackDown, Hardy got of the snide when he faced Simon Dean in singles competition. After a Twist of Fate, the man who will not die was back to his winning ways. He spotted Melina in the back after his match again. He told her that he thought about her offer and he accepts. But he wasn’t referring to the offer to “scratch her back.” Instead, he was referring to MNM issuing an open challenge to any tag team on the SmackDown roster. Hardy said that he will find a partner to take on the WWE Tag Team Champions at No Way Out.
Matt Hardy is no stranger to tag team action. He and his brother Jeff formed the exciting Hardy Boyz duo. The high-flying specialists are even five-time World Tag Team Champions. Who will Hardy choose as his partner? And will he be able to climb the ladder of tag team success once again? Tune in to No Way Out, only on pay-per-view, Sunday night at 8/7 CT to find out.
Nine-Man Cruiserweight Championship Match
February 19th, 2006 
Gregory Helms was a surprise entrant in the Cruiserweight Invitational at the Royal Rumble, but it was an even bigger surprise when he walked away with the gold. Kid Kash defended the Championship against all of the other former champions in a one fall to a finish match. Helms, who once held the Championship while he was known as The Hurricane, was a member of the RAW roster, but was eligible for the match nonetheless.
Helms was able to hit the Shining Wizard on Funaki to pick up the win, and immediately everyone speculated what would happen to the Cruiserweight Championship. It was previously a SmackDown-exclusive Championship, but with a RAW Superstar winning the gold, no one knew what the future held.
Helms answered those questions days later when he showed up on SmackDown, but he brought a cocky attitude with him. He claimed that he WAS the Cruiserweight Division, and no one could match up against him. Nunzio was offended by the comments and challenged him. The two fought last week, and Helms was able to back up his words.
This week, Helms continued walking around with an air of confidence, and the Cruiserweights were sick and tired of it. Scotty 2 Hotty had an opportunity to make Helms eat his words, but once again, the champion prevailed. But after he picked up the win, all of the cruiserweights in the back stormed the ring and ganged up on Helms.
Brian Kendrick, Paul London, Psicosis, Super Crazy, Nunzio and Funaki joined Scotty and all hit their signature maneuvers. Helms received treatment in the back after the vicious beating, but received some bad news that didn’t make him feel any better. He was informed that he would have an opportunity to prove that he’s better than all of the other cruiserweights at No Way Out when he takes them all on in a one fall to a finish match for the Cruiserweight Championship. Kid Kash missed out on the group beating because of a family emergency, but he will be at No Way Out looking to regain the gold.
Will Helms be able to overcome the odds and walk away with his Cruiserweight Championship? Will a former champion like Funaki, Nunzio, London or Kash regain the gold? Or will Psicosis, Super Crazy, Scotty 2 Hotty or Kendrick get their first taste of the Cruiserweight Championship? Tune in to No Way Out, only on pay-per-view, at 8/7 CT to find out.
