He said that supporting Hardy leads kids to go on to smoking, drinking and smoking pot. He then asked parents to make the right choice and have their kids just say yes to a drug-free America and to himself. Good promo by Punk, although it should have been on the go-home show as opposed to the PPV.

A "Don't try this at home" promo aired.

This being Philly, Cena got more boos than he's been getting lately as he came out. Triple H got a mixed reaction as well during the introductions.

Fans were really booing Cena as the match went on, even getting quiet during Cena's offense. It came down to HHH and Cena at one point, and it didn't have the heat that you'd expect. They went back and forth for a bit before The Game hit Cena with a spinebuster and followed it with a pedigree. HHH went for a pin, which was broken up by Orton.

The finish saw HHH get Orton in a sharpshooter. While HHH had Orton in the sharpshooter, Cena got the STF on Orton, so he was in the STF and sharpshooter at the same time. Orton tapped, but the referee didn't know what to do and didn't stop the match. Legacy hit the ring. Cena got Rhodes up for the Attitude Adjustment, but Orton nailed Cena with the RKO to a big pop to pin Cena. Really good match.
