Ted Dibiase & Cody Rhodes vs. The Colons
Dibiase and Rhodes come out all smiles apparently thrilled that they are able to walk to the ring at full speed without Orton there. Joined in progress back from commercial with Rhodes having Primo locked in a side headlock. Primo flips out of a back suplex, and then hits an enzaguri. Tag to Carlito who springboards in with a clothesline, and hits a kneelift. Carlito goes for a springboard moonsault which misses, but he's right back with a dropkick for two. Dibiase provides a distraction, allowing Cody to attack from behind and make the tag. Dibiase is in to put the boots to Carlito, and deliver a trio of Million Dollar Fistdrops. Standing dropkick from Dibiase gets a two count, and he then locks in a reverse chinlock. Carlito elbows out, and goes for a hiptoss which is countered by Dibiase. He kicks Primo off the apron, and then tags in Rhodes. Primo inadvertently distracts the official allowing Legacy to double team, and Cody follows with a bodyslam. Rhodes kicks Carlito in the head, and makes the tag to Dibiase. Side Russian legsweep connects for a two count as Primo makes the save. Elbow drop connects for Dibiase for a two count, and then a tag is made to Rhodes. Cody drops a knee on the back of Carlito, and tags Ted back in. Dibiase delivers a series of right hands, and then chokes out Carlito with his boot. Rhodes tags in and locks in a modified camel clutch. Carlito fights to his feet, and counters out making the hot tag to Primo. Dibiase tags in as well and gets a back elbow and a dropkick. Primo sprinboards off the second rope with a crossbody, but Rhodes makes the save. He gets chased out, but Dibiase delivers a rollup for two. Rhodes is able to drop Primo on the top rope from the floor, and that sets up Dibiase hitting Dream Street to pick up the win at 7:28. Nothing special, and being joined in progress with the heels already in control didn't help things any. This grants Legacy a tag title shot at an unspecified date.

WWE Championship: Randy Orton (w. Cody Rhodes & Ted Dibiase) vs. Batista (c)
I should point out its 10:59 and the main event is just beginning. Orton says that Dibiase and Rhodes just beat the Colons making them number one contenders for the Unified Tag Team Titles. Orton says speaking of Championships he hopes Batista doesn't use what happened earlier as an excuse, and by golly if you didn't see it Randy has a recap ready for us. What a guy. Orton reminds us that Vickie Guerrero made the declaration before she resigned. He is entitled to a rematch tonight, and in the unlikely event that Batista doesn't show he is awarded the title by forfeit. Hilariously Lillian goes through all the intros announcing "BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATISTA!!!!" even with him nowhere to be found. Batista's music hits, and no one shows. Orton tells the ref to count him out, and they ring the bell. Chioda applies the count, but we see the ambulance arrive and he waves it off. Oh for Christ's sake just get on with it. We see in the ambulance not Batista, but Triple H with sledgehammer in hand. Trips comes out in a scene eerily similar of a few months back. Its like a fucking rerun. Cody and Ted charge at HHH and of course fail miserably in their attempt at being henchman which leaves just Orton and Trips. Triple H drops the sledgehamer, and then tears off his shirt to reveal he's not hiding anything. Orton attacks HHH as he gets inside, but HHH turns it around on him. Orton bails to the floor, but HHH is out after him. Orton grabs a chair, but that fails too as HHH continues the assault sending Orton into the announce table. Trips tries to blast Orton with a monitor, but Orton fights him off and takes off running through the crowd. HHH goes in pursuit and catches him in the crowd. HHH fires Orton back into ringside, and Orton grabs the chair and slides back inside the ring. HHH charges at him anyway and delivers a spinebuster. HHH picks up the chair, and blasts Orton with it several times. He destroys Orton's knees and ribs with the chair, and a wide shot shows that Dibiase and Rhodes are still laid out motionless on the ramp. Now thats funny. HHH gives Orton one final shot to the back of the neck, and then stares him down. Crowd chants Pedigree, so HHH obliges by giving Orton the pedigree on the steel chair. Nice segment, but one question remains...WHO IS THE FUCKING CHAMPION?
Winner: Who the hell knows?

-Okay so Batista never got counted out, but he also didn't show. I would assume he is no longer champion. Orton was never declared the winner, and may be taken away with an injury angle as well so I can only assume that he isn't champion either. So I guess we have a vacant title that will be settled next week. I'm not sure how they'll do that, but it does make for an interesting cliffhanger that should get you to tune in next week. The rest of the show blew chunks, but the return of Triple H and the uncertainty of the title should be interesting enough. I'm just glad they didn't go with the ultra predictable Orton wins the belt back.
