-Joey Styles welcomes us to the show and again hyping the "match of champions." Taker & Kane vs. Morrison & Miz. Tazz mentions the good news and bad news. Joey Styles is leaving ECW, but he's taking over WWE.com. Joey promised he'd bring the fans what they want at WWE.com. Joey introduces Mike Adamle as the new announcer for ECW.

CM PUNK & KOFI & MOORE & YANG VS. DEUCE & DOMINO & BURKE & BENJAMIN
-Domino and Punk start it off with a lock up. Domino rings the arm and puts in a wrist lock. Punk reverses it into a side headlock and is thrown into the ropes, where he bounces off with a shoulder block. Moore is tagged in who rings the arm and brings in Yang. Yang comes in with a big dropkick then works the arm. Punk tags in and Benjamin does too soon after.
-Shelton goes for a back suplex, but Punk gets his weight going forward and comes down on top for a 2 count. The faces and heels end up outside the ring. Punk is fronting his group and Benjamin fronting his group. They stand face to face and head out to a break 2:42 into the match.
-Back from the break Punk and Burke are in the ring. Burke hits a snap mare then goes for an elbow, Punk moves. Kofi gets the tag and receives a large pop upon his entrance. He hits an arm drag and moves into a cover for 2, while holding the arm and puts in an arm bar. He makes a quick exit by tagging in Moore, who quickly tags in Yang. Yang smashes Burke's head into the turnbuckle. Burke comes back and hits the 4-up. Benjamin gets the tag and bulldozes Yang into the turnbuckle. Shelton puts in a headlock on the mat and settles in with it. The crowd rallies around Yang, who hits a series of back elbows before being taken back down to the mat.
-Deuce gets in the tag and puts the boots to Yang. He taunts the face team and they step through the ropes, but the ref backs them up. Deuce settles in with a headlock. Yang ends up backed into the heel corner where he gets pummeled with fists. Burke in now and he bulldozes Yang into the near left turnbuckle. He starts throwing forearms. Domino comes in and hits a body slam. Now another headlock on Yang as they continue to try and wear him down. Domino runs at Yang for something and Yang back body drops him. The hot tag to Kofi is made and he goes to work eventually hitting the two-legged leg drop. The action breaks down entirely ending with Moore hitting a plancha onto the heels outside. Kofi and Domino are left alone in the ring and Kofi quickly hits the buzzsaw and it's over.
***Team babyface gets the win in 12:29. (**1/4). Adamle did ok for his first match. He said Kofi was Jamaican him crazy. Also pulled out the 1-2-Adios, when Kofi hit the buzzsaw. A lot of clich? in his speech, but it wasn't horrid. At least from what I heard.
-They go back to last week and contract signing for Chavo & Kane's title match at Backlash.
-Kane backstage cuts a promo. He says last week Chavo made a big mistake. Tonight the monster in him will reveal it's self. The camera zooms out and Taker is standing to the right of him. He says nothing.
-A commercial for next weeks KOTR Raw aired. It was the same one they showed on Raw.
-Back from the break Adamle sends us to the ring where Tazz has "dance fever."
-Tazz says it's time for a dance off, and introduces the Diva's.
-Layla, Maryse, Eve, Lena Yada, and Kelly Kelly each get separate entrances, and make their way out in that order.
DIVA DANCE-OFF- KELLY KELLY VS. LAYLA VS. LENA VS. EVE VS. MARYSE
-Tazz breaks down the rules. They each get an opportunity to "bust-a-move" and the fans in London (cheap pop), decide the winner. Tazz gives an example as music begins to play and he dances for a moment.
-Layla goes first and breaks out some old Extreme Expose style maneuvers. She caps it all off with the splits. She gets a pop for her efforts.
-Maryse takes center stage next. She runs her fingers through her hair and walks, then circles her hips and grabs the ropes and moves up and down. Not much of a reaction for the uninspiring effort.
-Eve plays ballerina, then some dizzying random spins. She runs over to the ropes at the end for some reason. Tazz says she stole some of his moves, and must have seen him at the club.
-Lena is up next and she just gets on her knees and bridges, then whips her hair around.
-Kelly goes last and ends up climbing the turnbuckles and taking off her jacket.
-Tazz now polls the crowd. Layla gets a smattering of cheers. Maryse is booed. Eve is booed. Lena is booed. Kelly Kelly gets cheered.
***Kelly Kelly wins what comes off as a drunken embarrassing moment at a sorority house.
-The girls leave the ring while Kelly Kelly celebrates. Tazz asks for some music and dances with Kelly Kelly.
-Tommy Dreamer makes his way to the ring with his sidekick, Colin Delaney.
-Mike Knox makes a way to the ring. Adamle says that earlier today he got a chance to talk with Mike. I was expecting him to make a mention of 'roids, but apparently he just talked to him about his game plan for Dreamer. I have a feeling this conversation never took place.
-Armando Estrada makes his way out to the ring. He says the fans don't want to see Dreamer vs. Knox. They want to see Mike Knox go one-on-one with Colin Delaney. Estrada tells Dreamer he has the night off and to get to the back immediately.
MIKE KNOX VS. COLIN DELANEY
-Delaney puts his dukes up, but Knox drops him quickly. He hits a rough looking belly-to-back release suplex then an avalanche into the corner where Colin was trying to gather himself. Knox hits his reverse neckbreaker maneuver for the pinfall.
***Knox wins a squash in 1:00. Poor Colin.
-After the match they head to the announce table. Adamle is wearing a nice pair of glasses. They head to footage of a previously taped promo from Miz and Morrison. They put over that Taker & Kane have feuded for years and Miz & Morrison have real brotherhood. Morrison says they'll prove ECW is their yard.
-They head to break hyping that the main event is?NEXT!
-Morrison makes his way to the ring first as usual. Adamle says looking at Morrison you'd think he looks like Tarzan, but probably hits like Jane. That is until you see him in the ring. Awesome.
-Miz follows out.
-Kane comes out first for the face team as you'd expect.
-Taker makes his slow stomping foggy entrance. Adamle refers to it as the most intimidating entrance in the WWE. Roughly 4 minutes later and Taker takes his hat off.
UNDERTAKER & KANE VS. MORRISON & MIZ- NON-TITLE
-Miz and Kane kick off the action. Miz bobs and weaves then hits a series of fists and kicks. Kane reverses an irish whip attempt, then hits a shoulder block. He throws Miz into the turnbuckle and rings the arm, which brings Miz to his knees. Taker gets the tag and enters the ring to a round of cheers. Taker rings the arm some more then heads up top and connects with old school. Morrison runs in and is quickly thrown aside.
-Miz laid out across the apron and Taker goes for the leg drop across the throat, but Morrison out of nowhere spears Taker off the apron to the outside. Pretty nice move there and with it they head to break 1:55 into the match.
-Back from the break Morrison and Taker are in the ring, Morrison has the advantage, but Taker grabs him and throws him into the buckles soon after. Taker pounds him to the ground. Morrison gets whipped into the ropes and comes off with a boot to Taker's face. Taker comes right back though getting control and tags in Kane. Morrison gets thrown into the ropes and Kane was readying for a chokeslam, but Morrison holds the ropes and tags in Miz.
-Kane uppercuts Morrison off the apron then hits a side slam on Miz. Kane heads up top for the flying clothesline. Morrison knocks him off the top, but Kane lands on his feet. Morrison posed with his back turning, thinking he did good, but Morrison gets a boot to the back that sends him off the apron again. The distraction though allows Miz to get the advantage and Morrison gets tagged back in. Morrison works Kane to the mat and tags back in Miz.
-Miz with boots in the heel corner, but Kane hits a series of right hands on both bad guys. Miz comes back with the running leaping clothesline in the corner. Morrison back in again and they keep Kane grounded as Morrison works the leg. Quick tags continue and Miz enters. He's met with a couple uppercuts as Kane tries to get back to his feet. Kane finally stands up, and Miz continues to kick at Kane's knees. Kane lays out Miz though and makes the hot tag as Morrison also gets tagged in. Taker hits a running clothesline in the corner, then snake eyes. He calls for the chokeslam and Miz runs in, but he gets grabbed by the throat too. They team up for kicks on Taker and get the hold broken. Kane comes in and him and Taker now both team up for stereo chokeslams. Taker hits the tombstone on Morrison and that does it.
***Brothers of Destruction get the win in 11:49. (**1/2).
-They pose as the show goes off the air.
