The Wrestling Machine will be in the house when ECW on Sci Fi returns to the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City Tuesday night.

Olympic Gold Medalist Kurt Angle will be in action, although his opponent is still unknown. Last time Angle stepped foot in Hammerstein Ballroom, he was victorious over RAW's Randy Orton at ECW One Night Stand. Who will step up to challenge the Wrestling Machine this time?

Last week, Paul Heyman denied Sabu's request for an ECW World Championship match and ordered him to leave. Instead, Sabu came to the ring after Big Show's victory over Kane to bash the ECW Champion over the head with a chair. Will Paul Heyman have anything to say about the Death-Defying Maniac's actions?

Also, CM Punk will finally make his ECW on Sci Fi debut. Will the straight-edge Extremist walk out of NYC with his first victory?

Find out all this and more Tuesday night at 10/9 CT on Sci Fi.

Also announced on the Canadian Smackdown TV, Batista will challenge Big Show.

Smackdown in NYC on 7/29 and 8/4 @ 8 PM according to TV Guide TV Guide - tvguide.com
