The ultimate wrestling match is on!

The match that sports-entertainment fans have anxiously hoped would happen is set to go down next week when WWE Champion Kurt Angle faces Brock Lesnar on SmackDown!

After disposing of a feisty John Cena in this week's main-event match, Lesnar ordered Angle to face him in the ring. The sly champion and his manager Paul Heyman smirked backstage and told Brock he'd have to wait another day for the faceoff. But when Brock goaded the champ by sending Cena's knee crashing into the steel ring post after an F-5 -- the same way that Lesnar put Angle on crutches for several weeks -- an enraged Angle in fact went to the ring to confront the NCAA Champion. Angle said he was suffering from a sinus infection that would keep him out of action for the evening, but he couldn't wait to teach Brock a lesson next week. Lesnar couldn't wait that long. He ended up hurling shots on Angle and his understudies Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin!

Angle and Lesnar also found out that they'll be on opposite sides when No Way Out kicks off on Feb. 23. Stephanie McMahon announced that all three members of Team Angle will battle Lesnar, Edge and Chris Benoit in a Six-man Tag Team Match!

This incredible episode of SmackDown! was complete with an announcement by Playboy Magazine founder Hugh Hefner, who revealed that a SmackDown! Diva will soon grace the pages of the revealing magazine! The Divas will be getting even more exposure in the near future, thanks to Girls Gone Wild. A representative from that production formally invited Torrie Wilson to be at their next pay-per-view. He promised that the show will be very uncensored! The girls went wild on SmackDown!, though, as Torrie Wilson defeated Dawn Marie in a special Valentine's Day Bra & Panties Match!

Rikishi discovered what Nunzio meant when he issued a warning that his family would not allow itself to be disrespected. Nunzio called upon Chuck Palumbo and Johnny "The Bull" Stamboli to issue a savage beating on the Phat Man! Nunzio warned Rikishi again not to mess with the family!

The Undertaker was the recipient of yet another gift from the Big Show this week. When the Dead Man opened the oversized wooden crate this week, he was met with a singer dressed as Boy George who was singing a nails-on-chalkboard version of "Do you really want to hurt me?" The singer suddenly attacked the surprised Undertaker, and after the Phenom thwarted the attack, it was discovered that the impersonator was none other than Kanyon! 

Matt Hardy lost eight pounds in one week in his effort to qualify for the cruiserweight division. However, his strict diet severely weakened him and contributed to his loss to Rey Mysterio! Nevertheless, Matt pledged to drop the remaining two pounds and defeat Billy Kidman for the Cruiserweight Championship!

Next week, Nathan Jones is set to make his first SmackDown! appearance when he grants a special interview. Find out what's behind this gigantic, maniacal ex-con and his arrival in WWE!
