The opening video package for the event opened. It was interrupted by DX, who "broke" the opening reel. They said "We're Back" and we're off . . .
Rey Mysterio (c) vs. Dolph Ziggler
Intercontinental Championship
Ziggler dominated the opening moments until Ziggler threw Mysterio into the corner, and he jumped to the top rope and hit a moonsault on Ziggler. Mysterio followed up with a hurricarana on the outside of the ring. Ziggler was able to regain the advantage shortly after and proceeded to dominate the match again.
Later in the match, Mysterio missed a 619 and Ziggler sweeped his leg and hit a running legdrop to get a two count. Mysterio hit a DDT for another two count. He finally hit the 619, but missed the splash. Ziggler rolled him for a pin, but only got a two count again. There's are dueling "Let's Go Ziggler" and "619" chants. Ziggler then got Mysterio in a fireman's carry on the top rope, but Mysterio reversed it into a hurricarana and got the three count. Great opener.
Winner and still WWE Intercontinental Champion: Rey Mysterio
Josh Matthews interviewed Jack Swagger and MVP backstage. Swagger noted that MVP was an ex-con and called him a stepping stone. MVP said he had made some mistakes in his life, but he's ready to beat Swagger.
MVP vs. Jack Swagger
Both men got no reaction from the crowd. WWE really did a good job of killing MVP's momentum from when he first went to Raw.
MVP dominated the early moments of the match until he went to the second rope and Swagger threw him off. Swagger took control of the match to the crowd's indifference.
The finish of the match saw Swagger run to the second rope and go for a splash, but MVP got his knees up. MVP then hit the drive by kick and followed up with a playmaker to get the clean pin. Both men tried, but some botched spots and lack of crowd heat hurt the match. Kind of took the sails out of the Mysterio - Ziggler opener.
