ECW Championship Match
- Matt Hardy (c) vs. Mark Henry
A much better match than I expected. Late in the match, Hardy hit a side effect on Henry but Henry kicked out. Henry later hit a splash on Hardy, but only got a two count. Hardy then hit a twist of fate on Henry and got the three count.
Winner and still ECW Champion: Matt Hardy
The mobile voting question is whether Triple H or Jeff Hardy would win tonight's WWE Championship match. Jeff Hardy and Triple H were shown backstage. Triple H said he wanted Jeff Hardy to be at his best so he knows he beat Hardy at his best.
Women's Championship Match
- Beth Phoenix (c) vs. Candice Michelle
Candice started off fast, but Phoenix eventually took over and worked over Michelle's shoulder. At one point Candice had Phoenix pinned, but Santino Marella pulled Phoenix out of the ring. Shortly after Phoenix hit the implant buster on Candice to get the win.
Winner and still WWE Women's Champion: Beth Phoenix
Kane did a promo backstage and said that after tonight, everyone would see themselves for what the are – monsters.
Rey Mysterio's Mask On The Line
- Rey Mysterio vs. Kane
Kane spent most of the match working over Mysterio's back and trying to rip his mask off. There were some blown spots from both men. The finish of the match saw Mysterio jumping off the top rope onto Kane outside the ring, but Kane grabbed a chair and nailed Mysterio with a for the DQ loss. Decent match ruined by the crap ending.
Winner by disqualification: Rey Mysterio
MVP was shown in the back. He went to the Big Show's locker room and told Show that he wanted to talk to Vickie Guerrero. Show basically told MVP to back off or he's take care of him.
A Cyber Sunday promo aired.
MVP came to the ring and complained about not having a match. Randy Orton's music hit and he came to the ring. They didn't say much and got in each other's faces. Ted Dibiase, Cody Rhodes and Manu then came to the ring. The crowd started chanting "BORING" while Rhodes talked. Orton basically just said he'd take them more seriously once they'd accomplished half of what he has and left. Dibiase then threatened MVP and MVP left the ring and said he'd remember this. CM Punk and Kofi Kingston then came out and asked MVP to join them against Dibiase, Manu and Phodes. Punk and Kingston cleared the ring of Dibiase and Rhodes while MVP and Manu brawled outside the ring. Kind of a pointless segment seemingly designed to give those guys some PPV face time and bury MVP some more.
Number One Contenders Match
- Batista vs. John "Bradshaw" Layfield
Batista pinned JBL after a Batista bomb in a relatively short match. JBL was going for the clothesline from hell, but Batista hit JBL with his own clothesline instead. He then followed up with the Batista bomb.
Winner via pinfall: Batista
JBL got on the mic after the match and said it's been one of the most unbelievable weeks of his life. He said his heart wasn't in it tonight and it's been the most dramatic week of his life because of what's happening on Wall Street. He thanked Barney Frank and Nancy Pelosi for the bailout and helping rich people like him. He forgot to mention George Bush and Henry Paulson, who came up with the plan. Cryme Tyme then came up on the Titan Tron and said since the taxpayer's bailed him out, they're going to bail out his limo. They said they were taking all the divas out on the town in the limo and the divas were all shown dancing and getting in the limo. Sgt. Slaughter went with them too. Basically a segment to get the divas and Cryme Tyme some PPV TV time.
The Undertaker vs. The Big Show
This was a pretty good big man match. At one point Undertaker went for old school, but wen he came off The Big Show caught him by the throat and hit a chokeslam for a two count. The end of the match saw the Big Show removed the padding from the turnbuckle in the corner and drive Taker's head in it. He then hit Taker with 2 right hands and then another one to the back of Taker's head and referee Charles Robinson stopped the match and awarded it to the Big Show. It was an effective way to put over the right hands of the Big Show and getting it over as a finisher.
Winner via ref stoppage: The Big Show
After the match Taker slowly got back up to his feet and had a glazed look on his face. He then stumbled on his way to the back. Great job by Taker putting over the Big Show, it reminded me of when Taker put the Great Khali over a couple of years ago.
In the mobile texting vote on who you were rooting for between Jeff Hardy and Triple H, 72% were for Hardy. I was a little surprised that it was such a blowout.
WWE Championship Match
- Triple H (c) vs. Jeff Hardy
Great match. The finish saw Jeff Hardy counter the pedigree and hit a twist of fate. He then hit a swanton and went for the cover. At the two count, Triple H was able to roll Hardy over into his own pin and get the three count.
Winner and still WWE Champion: Triple H
Arn Anderson congratulated Triple H in the back and then Koslov confronted Triple H. They stood nose to nose and Koslov said "Congratulations" and walked off.
World Heavyweight Championship Ladder Match
- Chris Jericho (c) vs. Shawn Michaels
Another great match that featured tons of spots I've never seen before. The string of clean finished ended though. The finish of the match saw Michaels climbing the ladder and Lance Cade ran in to break it up. HBK superkicked Cade and started to climb the ladder. Jericho climbed on the other side of the ladder and the two both grabbed the belt. The were each pulling on the belt before Jericho headbutted Michaels and got the belt to retain the title. Great finishing sequence.
Winner and still World Heavyweight Champion: Chris Jericho
