| SmackDown! results 12/28/00 Chris Benoit then defended his Intercontinental Championship against Matt Hardy. Ultimately, Matt went for a tornado DDT from the top rope, but Benoit reversed it and locked on the crossface for the submission win. SmackDown! results 1/4/01 The first SmackDown! match of the new year was for the Intercontinental Championship, as Chris Benoit defended his title against Y2J himself, Chris Jericho! Prior to the match, Jericho promised to make the first SmackDown! match of the year a memorable one. Y2J said if it wasn't for Lt. Commissioner Debra giving him the title shot, he wouldn't be here, and if it wasn't for Old Lady Benoit forgetting to take her birth control pills, Benoit wouldn't be here! Benoit then interrupted Y2J and told him to follow his own advice, and to shut the hell up! Benoit said that every one of their matches was the same -- Jericho came out and talked, and then the Wolverine came out and kicked Y2J's ass! He then challenged Jericho to prove him wrong. The match between two of the World Wrestling Federation's young studs was a textbook in high-paced scientific wrestling. Jericho was able to turn Benoit into the Walls of Jericho, but Perry Saturn -- Benoit's partner in the Radicalz -- came down to interfere, giving Y2J the win via disqualification, but not the title. As Saturn and Malenko attacked Jericho after the match, the Hardy Boyz came down to save Y2J! SmackDown! Results 1/11/01 In six-man tag-team action, the Dudley Boyz and Chris Jericho took on Edge, Christian and Chris Benoit. Prior to the match, Edge took off his Oakland Raider jerseys to reveal a Baltimore Ravens jersey! They said that the Ravens would "totally curbtail" the Raiders this Sunday in the AFC Championship game, and as members of the Raiders booed from ringside, they presented a five-second pose called "Any Given Sunday," showing the Raiders getting their asses kicked! Also prior to the match, Chris Jericho demanded an Intercontinental Title match against Benoit at the Royal Rumble. Benoit accepted the challenge, and said he would give Y2J whatever kind of match he wanted, because there was no way Jericho would climb the ladder to the top of the World Wrestling Federation at his expense. Jericho said he would do just that -- and he said that the match at the Royal Rumble would be a Ladder Match! After only about a minute of fast-paced ring action, Stone Cold Steve Austin crashed the party and knocked out all six men with chairs!
