[edit] Report
The main feud heading into Judgment Day was between Eddie Guerrero and John "Bradshaw" Layfield (JBL) with the two battling over the WWE Championship. On March 25, 2004 edition of SmackDown!, recently drafted RAW superstar Booker T insulted SmackDown! superstars.[5] The new SmackDown General Manager Kurt Angle gave Booker an opportunity against Guerrero for the WWE title. Member of the recently disbanded APA, John "Bradshaw" Layfield interfered in the match and turned heel by hitting Guerrero with a Clothesline from Hell. On April 8 edition of SmackDown!, Angle announced that the winner of the Great American Award would become the #1 contender for the WWE Championship. He gave JBL the award but Guerrero came out and stole the trophy and broke it.[6] On April 22 edition of SmackDown, Guerrero lost to D-Von Dudley in a non-title match after another interference by JBL.[7]
