This could be pretty great. Mike Knox is stood on the ramp, blocking Rey's path to the ring. Rey charges at him but gets shoved backwards and slips off the side of the ramp. Knox pummels Rey until the referee restrains him. Knox leaves but Rey is hurting as we go to commercial.
Back from the break and we see what just happened again. Todd Grisham is backstage and asks Stephanie McMahon for an update on Rey. She says he's torn ligament in his elbow. Layla London says if Rey's hurt, he can't compete in the tournament. Steph agrees.
Kofi Kingston and CM Punk vs. Cody Rhodes and Manu
Titles are not on the line here. Randy Orton is watching on from the back. Rhodes and Punk start us off, lock up and side headlock by Rhodes. Punk counters out with a overhead wristlock and grabs his own headlock, takes down Rhodes and grabs a front facelock. Kofi in with a sunset flip for 2. Arm wrenches by Kofi, but he gets tossed down by Rhodes. Manu in now and hits a big shoulder tackle and gets in Punk's face. Manu tosses Kofi but he skins the cat and low bridges Manu to the floor. Kofi wipes Manu out with a plancha. Cody gets involved though and throws Kofi back-first into the ring apron as we go to break.
The power of commercial puts Punk in control of Rhodes though. Punk hits a couple of Kozlov-esque head butts, but Manu in now and Punk falls victim to a double team. Slam by Manu and a leaping head butt connects and gets a 2 count. Stomps by Manu. Rhodes in now and drives the point of the elbow into the skull. Rhodes takes Punk down now and applies a nice surfboard-like move on Punk. The fans rally behind Punk who powers out, rolls through but can't get the tag. A clothesline from Rhodes gets 2. Cody drives Punk into the corner and Manu hits a stinger splash in the corner, which gets him a 2 count. Big head butt by Manu now. Manu hits another scoop slam and tags out. Stomps by Rhodes and a knee drop. Mounted rights now and more kicks. A cover gets just a 1 count. Rhodes drives a series of knees into the mid section of Punk. Manu in and drives a right into the gut of Punk. Punk comes back with kicks to the legs, a soul kick connects but a sunset flip is blocked. Punk avoids a senton though and that allows him to get the tag. Kingston with leg lariats connecting on Rhodes. Huge clothesline by Kofi. Russian leg sweep by Kofi now. The Thunderclap Leg drop scores and gets 2, but Manu in to pull him off the cover. Bulldog by Punk to Manu! Kingston blocks the O Conner roll and hits Trouble in Paradise for 3!
