Late in the match, Edge went for a spear but missed and Clay pulled Edge into the corner. Del Rio locked the arm-bar submission in the center of the ring, but Edge was able to break out and roll Del Rio up for the cover, but only got two. Edge locked in a submission of his own. Clay got on the apron but Christian DDT'd him to the outside. Del Rio was able to get out of the submission, but was hit by a spear and Edge got the pin. Decent opener, but with the World title so devalued, it might be time for WWE to unify the WWE and World championships.

Edge defeated Alberto Del Rio via pinfall to retain the World Heavyweight Championship.

After the match, Edge headed up the ramp and stopped at Del Rio's limo. Edge put the World title belt on the hood and went to kick the limo, stopped and then ended up kicking away at the limo, climbing to the top and dropping an elbow.

CM Punk vs. Randy Orton

Punk sent the opening moments of the match working over Orton's injured leg. Punk went for the GTS, Orton was able to squirm out but was met with a kick to the face.

I'm not sure if it's a mic issue, but the crowd has been pretty quiet since the opening match.

Orton was able to catch Punk on the top rope and hit a top rope superplex to change the tide of the match. It was short-lived, as Punk gained control again and applied a figure four on the corner post.

Punk continued to work over the injured knee. Orton managed to break free and hit Punk with several clothelines and a power slam. He started teeing off on Punk's head and hit a side suplex for a two count.

Punk then climbed to the top rope and came flying at Orton, who transitioned the move into an RKO, flooring Punk and allowing Orton to get the pin. Good match, but lacked crowd heat until the end.

Randy Orton defeated CM Punk via pinfall.

The Rock is backstage with Gene Okerlund and says it might get ugly because he heard that John Cena's #1 fan is there to confront him. Okerlund tells him that he's already here. Rock turns around and it's Pee Wee Herman. Rock asks Pee Wee if he wants to be on the Fruit Loop troop or Team Bring It. Okerlund comes out in Cena gear and Pee Wee laughs. Pee Wee says he wants to be on "Team Bring It," says "if you smell what Pee Wee is cookin'," and Rock welcomes him to Team Bring It.

Cole went for Swagger's splash off of the ropes, but hesitated for awhile and then went to the first turnbuckle and dropped a terrible looking splash for a two count. I'm having flashbacks of Bret Hart – Vince McMahon from last year's 'Mania right now.
