Mickie James vs. Maryse
Jared Fogle from Subway fame serves as guest ring announcer for some reason. The match is brought to you by Subway, so uhh yeah. Maryse goes to do her hair flip pose, but Mickie attacks sending Maryse to the floor. Mickie pulls her back inside, and slams her face into the mat. Mickie connects with the Lou Thesz press and Maryse rolls to the floor. Maryse sidesteps a baseball slide, and fires Mickie into the barricade. Back inside they go, and Maryse covers for a two count. Maryse grabs a reverse chinlock, and then hammers Mickie down with a forearm. Mickie hits a pair of dropkicks, and delivers a pair of forearms. Mickie goes to the second rope, but Maryse comes back to slam her off. Mickie ducks a spin kick, and then hits a DDT to pick up the win at 2:44. So I guess Mickie is next in line for a title shot. Jared has a cue card to announce Mickie as the winner. How convenient that they had a cue card with the winner's name on it.
Winner: Mickie James (Pinfall-DDT ½*)
Ted Dibiase vs. Batista
I'm not gonna lie. I don't like Teddy's chances in this one. DIbiase gets a kick, and then bails to the floor. Batista chases him back inside, but Dibiase attacks once Batista rolls inside. Batista comes right back with a knee to the gut, and a bodyslam. Short clothesline connects for Batista, and he goes for a running powerslam. Ted slides down the back, but gets caught in a Batista Bomb attempt. Dibiase squirms free, but gets hit with another clothesline. Batista hits the ropes and delivers a forearm to the back. He goes for a kick which Dibiase ducks, and then Teddy hits a dropkick. Dibiase hits the ropes, and stops a backdrop attempt with a kick to the face. Spinning neckbreaker connects for Dibiase getting a two count, and he grabs in a headlock. Batista comes up and powers Dibiase into the corner, and then an Irish whip to the opposite corner is followed by a clothesline. Batista delivers a pair of shoulderblocks, but after an Irish whip Dibiase gets a drop toehold sending Batista into the second buckle. Dibiase goes to the second rope, but jumps into the boot of Batista. That is followed by a series of shoulderblocks in the corner. The ref pulls Batista off, and Dibiase slaps him. Batista goes back to the corner, and the unloads on Dibiase in the corner. The referee counts to five, but Batista won't break and he's forced to disqualify Batista at 4:05. I must mention the referee for this match was Scott Armstrong. This is about the third time I can think of that he has had a questionable call that benefited Legacy. Not sure if its intentional or not, but if its leading somewhere its one of the better jobs of slow burn foreshadowing WWE has done in a long time.
Winner: Ted Dibiase (Disqualification-Refusal to break at 5 *)
