Jerry Lawler, Michael Cole and Booker T are handling announcing duties tonight.

The WWE tag team championship match is up first. Vickie Guerrero comes out and introduces Jack Swagger and Dolph Ziggler. Ziggler and Swagger get separate entrances, with Swagger coming out first and Ziggler in second.

WWE Tag Team Championship Match:
Evan Bourne and Kofi Kingston (c) vs. Dolph Ziggler and Jack Swagger

Air Boom made a lot of fast tags early, keeping the challengers at bay. Kofi tried a splash on Swagger, who caught Kofi and slammed him into the mat to gain the advantage for his team. Ziggler tagged in and hit a picture-perfect dropkick on Kofi.

Kofi was eventually able to make the hot tag to Bourne, who cleaned house with his high flying. The advantage went back to the heels though, after Swagger got his knees up when Bourne went for Air-Bourne. The challengers used their size advantage to keep Bourne down.

Bourne eventually made the hot tag to Kofi. Kofi nailed a high crossbody from the top for a two count. He followed with a boom drop, but missed the TIP and hit the SOS, but only got a two when Swagger interfered. Bourne planted Swagger with knees to the chest from the top, sending Swagger out. Kofi hit Ziggler with TIP, and Bourne followed up with the Air-Bourne splash to get the win for his team.

Dolph Ziggler (c) vs. Zack Ryder

Ryder starts off hot, getting a series of two counts. "Let's Go Ryder" chants break out. Ryder stays on offense, eventually sending Ziggler to the outside. Air Boom, who have stayed at ringside, threw Ziggler in the ring. The referee ordered Air Boom to the back.

Ziggler took control of the match, earning several two counts. Ziggler is looking a lot like Curt Hennig at SummerSlam '91 when he lost the IC title to Bret Hart. Ziggler hit the rocker dropper for another two count. Ryder got his knees up when Ziggler charged in the corner. Swagger tried to interfere from outside the ring, but Ryder kicked him off and blocked a Zig Zag from behind.

Eve punched away at Phoenix. Phoenix was able to get untied and rolled outside the ring. Eve went outside, but her feet were swept from under her on the apron. Phoenix proceeded to press Eve and drop her on the outside and put a beatdown on the challenger, before bringing her back into the ring.

Sheamus vs. Christian

Sheamus dominated Christian early on in the match, using his size and strength to his advantage. Sheamus planted Christian with a Davey Boy Smith extended suplex for a two count. I'm a little surprised at the lack of heat in this match.

Christian was thrown in the ropes a kicked Sheamus to gain the advantage. Christian landed a pair of neckbreakers and a series of kicks. At one point, Michael Cole noted that he was reading JR's Twitter. Man, the commentating in WWE needs an overhaul.

Christian stayed in control of the match, including hitting a missile dropkick from the second rope. Christian tried to follow with a flying headbutt, but Sheamus rolled out of the way. Sheamus took control with a series of clotheslines and a bodyslam. Christian was able to send Sheamus outside of the ring, but was met with a shoulder when Sheamus re-entered.

Later in the match, Sheamus hit an Irish Curse backbreaker for a two count. He signaled from the Brogue kick, but was met with a spear when he charged at Christian, who was able to get a two count. Christian then hit a hurricarana from the top rope, and motioned for another spear. However, when he charged at Sheamus with the spear, he was met with a huge Brogue kick. Sheamus then covered Christian for the three count. Good match, hurt by the quiet crowd.

Sheamus pinned Christian

Backstage David Otunga is speaking with John Laurinaitis. The Miz and R-Truth interrupt, and Otunga takes off. Miz and Truth credit Laurinaitis for re-instating them, and asked him why he did. Laurinaitis said that they suck up well and left. Miz and Truth argued over who is better at sucking up, but then agree that Triple H and CM Punk suck. They did some "suck" jokes that mostly fell flat. The finished by saying that it sucks to be Triple H and CM Punk. Not their strongest showing.

A cool promo aired airing the history of the Triple H and CM Punk vs. The Miz and R-Truth feud.

The heels make their way to the ring first, singing "You Suck." CM Punk is out next, and The Game enters last.

After the match, Nash continued to beat on Triple H outside of the ring. He threw HHH back in the ring and planted him with a powerbomb before taking off through the crowd.

HHH slowly made his way to the back, favoring his arm.

Rhodes nailed Orton with a clothesline and cinched in a chinlock, but Orton was able to suplex his way out of it. Both men got to their feet, and Rhodes hit Orton with a dropkick.

Rhodes stayed on offense, stomping Orton in the gut and beating Orton down with kicks. Rhodes continued to work Orton over.

Show took control of the match early, landing a flurry of punches early on which sent Henry heading for cover outside of the ring. Henry got on the apron, and Show flung him into the ring.

A frustrated Show got to his feet, and then decided to give the top rope a try. Show climbed to the second rope, and Henry caught him with a punch. Henry then hit a superplex, which forced the ring to collapse. Although it's been done before, it was an awesome spot!

Officials hit the ring and signaled for help. EMTs brought out a stretcher from the back and realized that it wouldn't be big enough. Officials then brought a vehicle with a flatbed on back. John Laurinaitis and Teddy Long headed to ringside. They helped the officials tending to Show and Henry. Show was placed on the flatbed and escorted to the back. Officials tried to help Henry out of the ring, but he collapsed on the floor. He was helped up, and Henry pushed everyone back before falling back to the ground. Henry said he didn't want anyone's help and that he was the champion. Finally Henry was able to walk to the back with the help of officials. Laurinaitis took the mic and said that regardless of the injuries sustained by Show and Henry and the condition of the ring, the WWE championship match will still take place. Good match until the non-finish, in many ways the best thing on the show so far. I don't think I've ever said that after a match with Henry and Show.
