MIZ & MORRISON & CHAVO VS. JESSE & FESTUS & CM PUNK
-Festus flips his lid and people are learning as the heels scatter out of the ring. Jesse tries to calm Festus down and Punk lends a hand. Festus gets on the apron and Punk will start it off with the Miz. They lock up and Punk puts in a side headlock. Punk gets hung up on the ropes by Miz who tags in Chavo and a back elbow meets him. Punk follows with a back body drop and tags in Jesse who hits an arm drag and dropkick. Jesse trips up Chavo in the corner and the action breaks down suddenly with Festus alone in the ring and everyone else ending up on the floor. They head to commercial 3:00 in.
-Back from the break Miz tags in Morrison who is in the ring with Jesse. He’s got a keylock applied it appears and Festus is pounding on the turnbuckle. Miz tags in and cuts off Jesse from trying to make a tag, but Jesse kicks him away and gets in Festus. He clotheslines the Miz and runs at Morrison and forearms him off the apron. He slingshots Chavo in and then hits a shoulder tackle on Miz and a big splash. Now a big boot and Chavo and Morrison break up the 3 count. Punk gets in the ring and takes out Chavo, while Jesse goes after Morrison. Punk and Jesse hit suicide dives to the outside and Festus takes out Miz and gets the 3 count.
***Punk along with Biscuits and Gravy get the win in 9:00. (*1/2).
-Backstage Noble thinks McCool is hot for him. He tells her he isn’t a one-woman kind of man. McCool who has no interest patronizes him and says she understands. Michelle makes weird faces.
-Cole says it’s feeling a lot like Wrestlemania tonight on Smackdown. Does it, really? No, it doesn’t.
-MVP vs. Batista is up next!
-Tick, Tock and MVP exits the moonwalk and makes his way down the ramp. Cole wonders if MVP can get the monkey, or animal off his back. Cole is quite the clever man.
-Batista gets his usual good reaction as he makes his way out. MVP holds the belt up looking back at him and Batista shoots his Uzi’s at MVP in response.
-Coach and Cole hype Batista vs. Umaga at ‘Mania. Could be good, could be a complete disaster. They tease that the ‘Mania match against Umaga could end up a US Title match. They’re milking the Tista entrance for a few minutes. MVP is psyching himself up outside the ring.
