    ONLY 72 HOURS BEFORE ROYAL RUMBLE
    Jan. 22, 2004

    Just three days before Royal Rumble, there is a lot of uncertainty among the Superstars of SmackDown! Last week, SmackDown! General Manager Paul Heyman put two teams in the unfamiliar position of fighting amongst themselves when the FBI faced off in a Battle Royal to determine who would go to the Rumble, and Rikishi faced Scotty 2 Hotty with a Rumble spot at stake. The opportunity to get a shot at the WWE Championship brought out the mean streak in all competitors and Rikishi squashed his partner, literally, and Nunzio outsmarted his FBI cohorts.

    The matches seemed to bring trouble to the teams as both seemed to have some tension after their respective matches. Will the bond among the FBI remain strong as Nunzio attempts to win the Rumble despite being perhaps its smallest entry? Will the friendship between Rikishi and Scotty 2 Hotty ever be the same? SmackDown! may just shed some light on these situations.

    Also on SmackDown!, last week the Big Show entered the arena with several law enforcement officers to maintain a 50-foot restraining order against Hardcore Holly. Brock Lesnar was at Show’s side the entire night. Was Lesnar showing support for his friend or was he so frightened of Holly that he wanted to have the 50-foot barrier as well? Will Hardcore Holly take a final shot at Lesnar before their Royal Rumble encounter? Find out on SmackDown!

    Only one thing is for sure entering the final SmackDown! before Royal Rumble … General Manager Paul Heyman will not be in a good mood! Last week, he gambled with the first-ever Wash Your Mouth Out With Soap Match, and when John Cena defeated Rhyno, Heyman had his mouth washed out with soap, courtesy of Cena and Chris Benoit. Will Heyman take his anger out on somebody? Watch SmackDown! from Brock Lesnar’s hometown of Minneapolis, Minnesota at 8/7 CT on UPN to find out!
