The "Moonlight Drive" is a version of the "Corkscrew Neckbreaker". On "ECW" a few days prior to "Judgment Day" 2008, it was The Miz defeating CM Punk after "The Reality Check" and in the main event it was John Morrison defeating the ECW World Heavyweight Champion Kane in a Non Title Singles Match after a "Springboard Enzuigiri".

Answer: Shawn Michaels faked a knee injury, that he suffered at "Backlash" 2008, when facing Batista, with Chris Jericho being the special guest referee.

At "Wrestlemania 24", Shawn Michaels ended Ric Flair's career after the "Sweet Chin Music" and Ric Flair was forced to retire. Batista said that Shawn Michaels did the wrong thing by ending the career of Ric Flair. Batista also said that if he was in Shawn Michaels' shoes, that he wouldn't have done the same thing.

Then, Batista vs. Shawn Michaels was announced for "Backlash" 2008 and the special guest referee would be Chris Jericho. At "Backlash" 2008, Batista went for a "Batista Bomb" and Shawn Michaels countered. Shawn Michaels hurt his knee and then locked in the "Sweet Chin Music" and got the victory.

The next night on "Raw", Chris Jericho gave Shawn Michaels an award for acting like he was really injured. Then, in two weeks after "Backlash" 2008, it was Chris Jericho and Shawn Michaels vs. John Morrison and The Miz in a Non Title Tag Team Match. Shawn Michaels gave John Morrison the "Sweet Chin Music" and then Chris Jericho gave John Morrison the "Lionsault" to pick up the victory for his team, but Shawn Michaels said he was hurt worse.

Then, three weeks after "Backlash" 2008, it was Chris Jericho in the ring and was going to appologize to Shawn Michaels. Then, Shawn Michaels came to the ring and said that he should be appologizing because he is not really hurt. Chris Jericho didn't believe it and then Shawn Michaels gave Chris Jericho the "Sweet Chin Music" and said trust him that he is not really hurt. Then, at "Judgment Day" 2008, it was Chris Jericho vs. Shawn Michaels. Shawn Michaels defeated Chris Jericho after countering the "Walls of Jericho" into a "Small Package" to get the victory. Then, the next night on "Raw", it was Batista vs. Chris Jericho in an Interpromotional Match and the winner would face Shawn Michaels at "One Night Stand" 2008.

Answer: Count Out

At "Wrestlemania 24", it was Undertaker vs. Edge for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Undertaker won that match after "The Gogoplata" to become 16 and 0 at "Wrestlemania" and also he became the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Then, at "Backlash" 2008, it was Undertaker vs. Edge in a rematch from "Wrestlemania 24" for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

In this match, Undertaker won via submission after "The Gogoplata" to retain the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. A few days after "Backlash" 2008, Vickie Guerrero said that Undertaker's finishing move is considered to be a type of choke hold and is illegal in the "WWE".

He also crushed the larynx of many superstars and he has to pay. So, Undertaker was stripped of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and the title was decided to be vacated.

Then, two weeks after "Backlash" 2008, it was a Champions Chase to "Judgment Day" Tournament and was featuring current and former WWE World Heavyweight, ECW World Heavyweight, and WWE United States Champions.

In the first round, it was Matt Hardy defeating CM Punk after the "Twist of Fate" and Matt Hardy has qualified in the Number One Contender Battle Royal. In the second round, it was a double count out between Finlay and Montel Vontavious Porter. Vickie Guerrero said it would be fair that both Finlay and Montel Vontavious Porter qualify into the Battle Royal. In the third round, it was Batista defeating John Morrison after the "Batista Bomb". Batista then qualified into the Battle Royal. In the fourth round, it was Big Show defeating Tommy Dreamer after the "Show Stopper" to qualify into the Battle Royal. In the fifth and final round, it was Kane defeating Chavo Guerrero after a "Chokeslam" to qualify into the Battle Royal. In the main event of the night, it was a Battle Royal and the winner would face Undertaker for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at "Judgment Day" 2008 to become the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Matt Hardy was first eliminated by Montel Vontavious Porter by being tossed over the top rope with both feet touching the floor. Then, Montel Vontavious Porter was eliminated by Kane by being thrown over the top rope. Next, it was Kane eliminating Finlay from the match, by tossing him over the top rope. Then, Kane was eliminated by Big Show after being shoved over the top rope and landing both of his feet onto the floor. Finally, Batista eliminated Big Show from the match and was declared the winner of the Battle Royal and was set to face Undertaker for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at "Judgment Day" 2008. Then, Vickie Guerrero came to the ring and said Edge has been cleared to compete and is now in the Battle Royal. So, Edge ran to the ring and gave Batista the "Spear" and knocked him off of the apron to be declared the winner of the match. At "Judgment Day" 2008, Undertaker won the match against Edge via count out to become the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Then, Vickie Guerrero said that the title cannot be won via count out or disqualification, but only via pinfall or submission.

Answer: Big Show vs. Mark Henry

It was announced by Impact Wrestling that Big Show vs. Mark Henry was scheduled for "Judgment Day" 2008. The match was scrapped for some reason that is unknown and has been replaced with Jeff Hardy vs. Montel Vontavious Porter in an Interpromotional Match.

It started when Montel Vontavious Porter came to the ring and started talking about how he has been left off of the card. He issued an open challenge to any superstar in the locker room and Matt Hardy's music played. Matt Hardy said he defeated Montel Vontavious Porter so many times in the past, and is giving somebody close to him the opportunity to face Montel Vontavious Porter and prove that this person is better than him. Jeff Hardy's music played and it was made official.

It was Montel Vontavious Porter vs. Jeff Hardy in an Interpromotional Match. Jeff Hardy defeated Montel Vontavious Porter after the "Whisper in the Wind".

Answer: Steel Cage Match

Triple H, the defending WWE Champion, was set to face Randy Orton for the WWE Championship. The match was made by William Regal because William Regal felt like no one is respecting him and that this match will happen whenever he wants it to happen, and not whenever the people want it to happen. So, William Regal said that the WWE Championship Match will be between Triple H vs. Randy Orton for the title in a Steel Cage Match at "Judgment Day" 2008.

At "Judgment Day" 2008, it was Triple H defeating Randy Orton to retain the WWE Championship after a "Pedigree".

The next night on "Raw", it was announced to be Triple H and John Cena vs. Randy Orton and John "Bradshaw" Layfield. The stipulations of this match was if Triple H and John Cena is victorious, they'll face each other at "One Night Stand" 2008, with the match stipulation being decided by Triple H. If Randy Orton and John "Bradshaw" Layfield wins, then Randy Orton will face Triple H for the WWE Championship in a match decided by Randy Orton, and John Cena will face John "Bradshaw" Layfield in a match decided by John "Bradshaw" Layfield. Randy Orton and John "Bradshaw" Layfield won the match and the match Randy Orton picked to face Triple H in for the WWE Championship was a Last Man Standing Match.

Answer: The title stayed vacated by Vickie Guerrero.

Since Undertaker won the match against Edge at "Judgment Day" 2008 via count out, Vickie Guerrero, the "Smackdown" General Manager, came to the ring and said that the WWE World Heavyweight Champion could change hands only via pinfall or via submission.

The WWE World Heavyweight Championship cannot change hands via disqualification or via count out. There was no champion, but Vickie Guerrero said that the title cannot go to the winner of the match, whom was Undertaker, because of the count out victory. So, Vickie Guerrero said that the title is still vacated. On "Smackdown" a few nights later, it was announced that Edge will face Undertaker for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs Match. If the Undertaker loses this match, he will be fired from the "WWE" and will no longer be an active superstar of the "Smackdown" brand.
