The cruiserweight open is next. Good fast paced match that saw Hornswoggle run in at the end of the match and hit a frog splash on Jamie Noble to win the cruiserweight title. So much for that title.

King Booker came out and did an interview. Booker told Jerry Lawler to get in the ring and relinquish his crown and bow. Lawler refused, Booker called it an act of treason and left.
John Cena vs. Bobby Lashley is up next. Lashley came out to new music, which was basically his old music with lyrics. The crowd reaction was interesting as both men were booed during the introductions. Cena retained the title after pinning Lashley after an FU from the top rope.
