Nearing the End

SmackDown! December 1, 2006
HSBC Arena, Buffalo, NY
Theodore Long announced two other matches for Armageddon - a Last Ride Match between Undertaker & Mr. Kennedy and an Inferno Match between the monster Kane & MVP.

On this night, however, Undertaker would face Montel Vontavious Porter as he sought revenge for losing the First Blood Match at Survivor Series due to MVP’s interference.

MVP tried to gain early control with the Undertaker not selling any of his blows before he caught MVP in the corner and worked on him. He clotheslined MVP hard in the corner and beat up on him before he mounted the rope and walked the tightrope before crashing down on MVP. MVP tried to take control but was taken down by a flying clothesline from Undertaker. Undertaker removed the padding from the turnbuckle and tried to slam MVP's head against it but was blocked by MVP who then worked on Undertaker with a number of blows before being taken down by another clotheslines and given a Snake Eyes and a boot to the head! Undertaker exited the ring and grabbed a chair and brought it into the ring and tried to hit MVP who rolled out at the last moment and started backing up the rampway!

All of a sudden Mr. Kennedy ran from the back and tried to toss MVP back into the ring but it was reversed by MVP who threw Kennedy into the ring! The crowd went crazy as Kennedy was taken down with a boot to the face from the Undertaker and MVP was shown laughing as he backed up the stage to head for the back. The lights went out and the fires of hell erupted announcing the arrival of KANE!

KANE made his way towards the ring with MVP backing away from him. The crowd was going crazy as MVP backed up against the ring and was picked up by Undertaker who threw him into the ring. Kennedy tried to attack Undertaker but was knocked down and Undertaker worked on him as Kane worked on MVP. MVP and Kennedy were taken down by boots to the head off the ropes and then just as Undertaker and Kane looked to grab them for choke slams Kennedy exited the ring, jumped over the announcers table and into the crowd - MVP rolled out of the ring and made his way up the rampway! The bothers stood tall in the ring, allowing the fans to get their fill of the Brothers of Destruction together again.

At Armageddon, the rivalry between MVP and Kane will literally heat up, while The Phenom looks to take Kennedy for one last ride.
