Korderas played a minor part in what was JBL's last appearance as a wrestler on "SmackDown!". Originally giving JBL the win on the May 26, 2006 edition as JBL was taking the World Heavyweight Championship belt, Korderas spotted Rey Mysterio's foot on the bottom rope and restarted the match. Mysterio won after JBL threw Mysterio into Korderas, who was retying a turnbuckle pad that he had caught JBL untying, knocking Korderas out. He came to in time to see Mysterio pin JBL after an exchange of illegal objects and moves, thus ending JBL's Smackdown career. Earlier that night, Korderas had also been assigned to the JBL vs. Bobby Lashley match for the WWE United States Championship, which Lashley won. JBL, in his on-screen role as color commentator had bashed Korderas for being Canadian and claimed that he was screwed out of the Championship by Korderas.
