WWE United States Championship: The Miz © vs. Montel Vontavious Porter
Miz cuts a promo on the Yankees saying they didn't earn their championship, but rather bought it and that's why everyone hates New Yorkers and their sports franchises. This is going to turn him face in every other city in the US. He says he didn't have to buy his US Title, but rather he earned it. He says right now he's going to prove it, because Roddy Piper is making him defend the title tonight. MVP of course comes out wearing a Yankee hat, and gives it to Sherri Sheppard who is seated in the front row. Miz attacks quickly with a flurry of strikes in the corner before being pulled off by the referee in the corner. Miz misses a charge in the corner, and gets hit with a clothesline from MVP. MVP follows up with a bodyslam and hiptoss causing Miz to bail to the floor. MVP heads outside after him meeting him with a right hand, and throwing him back inside. Miz catches MVP heading back inside with a kick to the knee sending him back to the floor. Miz goes out after him driving the back of MVP's head into railing, and firing him back inside for the two count. Miz locks in a rear chinlock, but MVP comes out that and delivers a flapjack. Clothesline and back elbow from MVP connects, and he follows with a facebuster. That sets up the ballin' elbow which connects. MVP goes for the playmaker, but Miz reverses out of it. MVP hits a running big boot for a two count, but Miz comes back with a back elbow. Miz catches MVP in the corner delivering a boot to the gut, and the Skull Crushing Finale finishes at 3:46. Way too short, but very good for the time it got. MVP's stock continues to crash.
Winner: STILL WWE United States Champion-The Miz (Pinfall-Skull Crushing Finale **1/4)
