Diva's Halloween Costume Contest
The WWE Universe Picks the Winner
Tazz announced that voting was now closed and brought all the divas to the ring. They announced that Mickie James won and then all the divas broke out into a big catfight with the babyface divas clearing the ring of the heel divas.
WWE Title Match: HHH (c) vs. ???
The WWE Universe Picks the Opponent: Jeff Hardy, Vladimir Kozlov or Jeff Hardy AND Vladimir Kozlov. The fans vote for: Jeff Hardy.
Jeff Hardy got 57% of the vote, Vladimir Kozlov got 5% and Jeff Hardy AND Vladimir Kozlov got 38%. Probably not what WWE hoped for.
Hardy and HHH worked their usual solid match. The match went back and forth with Hardy dominating a large portion of the match and having the crowd support.
The finish saw Hardy hit a twist of fate and get a 2 count. He followed it up with a swanton. Instead of going for a pin, he went for another swanton but HHH got his knees up. HHH then went for a pedigree, but Hardy countered and mule kicked the Game outside of the ring. He got HHH back in, went for another swanton but HHH blocked him and hit a pedigree (tried to do it from the top rope but ended bringing Hardy down) to get the three count.
Winner via pinfall and still WWE Champion: Triple H
Another promo for John Cena returning at Survivor Series aired.
World Title Match: Chris Jericho (c) vs. Batista
The WWE Universe Picks the Referee: Randy Orton, Shawn Michaels or Steve Austin. The fans voted for: Steve Austin.
Jericho made his way to the ring and the World title belt was so big around his waist that it looked like Jericho was naked underneath it. Batista came out second, which is unusual to have the challenger come out second.
In the voting, Randy Orton got 4% of the vote, Shawn Michaels got 22% and Steve Austin got 74%.
Austin got a huge pop coming out and the crowd chanted 'Austin' at the start of the match. This brought back memories of Austin refereeing the Goldberg - Brock Lesnar match at WrestleMania 20 or when he refereed the Umaga - Lashley match at WrestleMania 23.
Jericho walked out of the ring and headed to the back early on. Austin got on the mic and told him that if he gets disqualified (I think he meant counted out), the title would change and Jericho hurried back to the ring.
Surprising lack of heat once the match got going. Jericho had control for the first portion of the match, working over Batista's leg. He got a single leg crab on Batista but Batista made the ropes. Jericho refused to break the hold and Austin grabbed Jericho by the hair and pull him off. Austin proceeded to flip Jericho off.
