Intercontinental Title Match

Backstage
Todd Grisham interviewed Edge backstage, asking him his strategy. Edge asked him why he wondered that and asked if it was because he had to defeat five men and not just one. He advised him to ask the others how they are going to beat him. Edge said they call him the Ultimate opportunist for a reason and tonight he'll walk out the champion.

CM Punk vs. Big Show

Punk, who came out alone, got a nice reaction since they were in his hometown in Chicago. Matt Striker said Punk's childhood friends Scott and Chris were in attendance. That has to be Scott "Colt" Cabana and Chris "Ace Steele" Guy. Punk took the mic and said that he loves Chicago. He said he loves the parks, the museums, the history and Navy Pier, but what he hates are the inhabitants of the city. He blamed everyone in the building for ruining the city, calling them lazy Teamsters and corrupt politicians. He crapped on the Chicago White Sox and then said the out of work dads and boozy mothers disgust them. He said that the entire city should be burned to the ground for the second time so he can build a straightedge utopia. Punk turned his attention to Big Show. He said that Show knocked him out at Smackdown but unlike the rest of them, he doesn't run from anyone. He's in his home and he is still here standing. Punk said he is David tonight and Show can be Goliath. Punk said the slingshot will be "the power of almighty Straightedge."

Punk had his elbow taped up. Punk tried to nail several kicks but was hit by Show with a mauling paw. Punk dropkicked Show but it didn't faze him. Show drilled Punk across the back and then choked him in the corner with a boot to the face. Show chopped Punk across the chest so hard Punk bumped out of the ring. Show went outside to toss Punk back in the ring. As Show returned, Punk drilled him in the face with a kick, then nailed a knee to the jaw.

Josh Mathews interviewed Chris Jericho. Jericho said he didn't need to be lucky tonight. Jericho pointed out how well he had done in the past with tournaments. He said he was going to eliminate everyone and walk out the new WWE champion. He said the reason isn't luck, but because he's the best in the world at what he does. No mention of Jericho's pledge that he would leave if he didn't win but Michael Cole pointed it out after the interview.

They showed several members of the National Guard in attendance.

WWE United States champion The Miz vs. Daniel Bryan

They lock up with Miz getting an early advantage but Bryan went for the LeBell Lock and Miz bailed out. When he returned, Bryan went after Miz's arm but Miz jumped off the apron and slammed it over the ropes. Miz then hammerlocked Bryan and ran him shoulder-first into the corner. He continued working over Bryan's shoulder. Bryan worked his way into a counter and used a backslide for a two count. Miz kicked out and went right back after the shoulder. Miz argued with the referee, allowing Alex Riley to attack Bryan's shoulder from the outside. Miz then snapped the arm backwards.

Miz kept up the offense and kicked Bryan to the floor. He tossed Bryan back in and covered him for a two count. The crowd began rallying Bryan as he mounted a comeback with a series of rights. Miz nailed the shoulder and charged Bryan who ducked and Miz went to the floor. Bryan nailed a dive through the ropes on Miz. Miz was tossed back in.

Your winner and new United States champion, winning his first WWE title...

Winner: Daniel Bryan

Lumberjill Unification Match: WWE Women's Champion Melena vs. WWE Divas Champion Michelle McCool

Layla was one of the Lumberjills and didn't look happy as McCool walked to the ring. Striker made a crack about Jillian still being "here" when she came out.

McCool tried to dropkick Melina as she did her split entrance but Melina jumped up and McCool landed hard on the floor. When she returned to the ring, they locked up and jockeyed for position. They actually ended up going through the ropes and to the flooor. McCool slapped one of the girls and then returned to the ring. Melina avoided the tiltowhirl backbreaker. Lots of Melina chants. Melina nailed her with a series of forearms. She positioned McCool across the turnbuckles but was grabbed by the hair and dumped over the top to the floor.

The Lumberjills didn't do much to force Melina back in, which they explained by saying McCool had pissed off all of the other Divas. McCool controlled Melina when they returned to the ring. McCool went for the Faithbreaker but Melina escaped and turned it into a Facejam. Melina was caught with a belly to belly suplex for a two count. McCool took a swipe at Natalya, who got on the apron. Melina rolled up McCool but the referee was arguing with Natalya.

McCool was tossed out of the ring and the Lumberjills had their way with her for a moment. They tossed her back in and Melina nailed a dropkick to the lower back, then Matrixed out of a kick. McCool grabbed her by the hair and slammed her back into the mat. Melina and McCool battled to the top and fell over to the floor. McCool tossed Melina back in and was attacked by all the other girls except for Layla. Layla attacked Melina in the ring but was battled off and tossed out.

McCool re-entered the ring from behind Melina and drilled him with a boot to the face, then scored the pin.

Your winner and Unified champion...

Winner: Michelle McCool!

Layla El and Michelle McCool celebrated together so their entire issues were all a ruse to begin with.

Todd Grisham interviewed Wade Barrett and noted it was his first chance at the WWE championship and asked him what he felt his chances were. Barrett said that his opponents represent greatness but also the status quo in WWE. He said that he stated months ago that the winds of change were blowing and he has his chance to prove that tonight. He said that he was the future of WWE and the next WWE champion.

No Holds Barred: World Champion Kane vs The Undertaker

Undertaker did his grand entrance, then attacked Kane as he came down the aisle. They brawled on the stage. He propped up Kane up against one of the giant columns for the stage and beat him with punches, then whipped him into another one. Kane hit it and fell to the floor in front of the stage. Undertaker stalked Kane but the champ kicked him in the knee and worked him over with punches on the ramp. Undertaker came back and choked him on the ramp. Kane came back with a boot to the face.

They battled their way back to ringside and Kane whipped Taker into the steel ring steps. Kane grabbed the World championship belt and drilled Taker with it on the floor. He then measured Taker and kicked him low. They battled back in the ring where Kane trapped Taker in the corner and clotheslined him again and again. Taker crumpled to the mat but kicked out when Kane covered him.

Kane dragged Taker back out to the outside of the apron and began drilling him with punches. Taker fell off the apron to the floor. Kane slammed Taker head-first on the announcer's table, then nailed him with the covering for the table. The storyline was that Undertaker was completely overpowered by Kane's strength. Taker finally reversed a whip and sent Kane into the stairs. They battled back and forth with punches on the floor.

Kane was prepped on the apron and Taker nailed a guillotine legdrop on the apron. Undertaker kicked Kane over the barrier, then dove over it onto Kane. Kane came back to drill Taker with a chair. Kane continued to work over Taker with punches. Taker wandered, glazed eyed in the crowd. Kane followed and they exchanged punches in the crowd. They battled near a production area and then back into the ringside area. Kane clotheslined Taker off the barricade to the floor.

Back in the ring, Kane battered Undertaker with kicks. Kane beat Taker with punch after punch in the corner. Taker went down to one knee but pulled himself back up, wobbly. Kane continued the onslaught in another corner. Kane just totally dominated Taker with punches, beating him down. Taker fought back and they began exchanging big shots in the middle of the ring. Undertaker finally got the better of the exchange but Kane kneed him in the gut. Taker came back with a heat seeking missile, but Kane was back to his feet first.

Undertaker got the better of their back and forth again and nailed Snake Eyes followed by a big boot. Undertaker legdropped Kane for a two count, then called for the chokeslam. Taker nailed the chokeslam. Taker went for the tombstone but Kane reversed it and scored the clean pin.

Your winner and still World champion.....

Winner: Kane!

Kane left victorious and the story was that Kane had dominated Taker. Taker took a long time leaving, crumpling over in pain and dropping to his knees at moments. The announcers wondered if we were seeing the end of an era. Lawler said, "I hate to say it, but I think Undertaker's powers are completely sapped."

Legendary film promo. They announced the film was a Wal-Mart exclusive on DVD, which explains why it was yanked from online retailers.

Five Tag Team Turmoil: WWE Tag Team Champs The Hart Dynasty Defend the Titles

The first team out are the Usos, who are with Tamina. Tyson Kidd and Jey Uso start off. They go back and forth. Kidd nailed a forward roll for a two count.

The Harts are eliminated so we'll have new champions tonight.

Bourne was knocked to the floor, where Cody went right after him before tossing him back in the ring. Drew locked in a reverse chinlock.

Drew picked up Bourne for a suplex but Bourne drilled him with kicks while suspended upside down.

Henry pressed and dropped Cody, then tagged in Bourne for a shooting star press off Henry's shoulders. Drew kicked Henry in the knees so Bourne fell off. Drew kicked Henry out of the ring. He went after Drew but Cody grabbed Bourne and nailed him with the CrossRhodes for the pin.

Your winners and new WWE Tag Team champions...

Winners: Drew McIntyre and Cody Rhodes!

Matt Striker sent us to a video feature on Albert Del Rio.

They aired a great video feature on the WWE championship and the Six Pack Challenge.

Josh Mathews interviewed WWE champion Sheamus. He said Sheamus was at a huge disadvantage but Sheamus asked him if he looked like he was concerned. He said he was WWE champion because he wins, no matter what the stipulation match is. Sheamus said that he always leaves with the WWE title and no matter what the match is, it suits him. He said tonight was going to leave with a Throw Kick to the skull and Sheamus leaving with the WWE title on his shoulder and a smile on his face.

Chris Jericho has been eliminated.

Cena even asked if that was really three. According to his claims, he's done with WWE. Jericho received a huge "Y2J" chant as he exited. Edge looked like he was screwed with the idea being that they had plans to work together. They focused for a long time on Jericho's exit with the rest of the match stopping.

When they started again, Barrett found himself circled by the other four as they got to give him the beatdown the Nexus has given all of them. They dispatched Barrett out of the ring. Cena and Orton then tossed Sheamus and Edge out. Orton and Cena faced off but Barrett attacked them. The heels all began beating down the babyfaces. Barrett tried to get the heels to work together but they wanted nothing to do with him. They doubled on him.

Cena and Sheamus went back and forth. Sheamus nailed an elbow and Cena crumpled in the corner. Sheamus controlled Cena and placed him on the top rope for the Celtic Cross. Cena used back elbows to avoid the move. He fought off Sheamus but got his foot caught as he came down. Edge and Sheamus worked over Cena and placed him back atop the ropes. They went for a double suplerplex and nailed it. Edge covered him but Cena kicked out.

With Cena down and out, they went to the floor and attacked Barrett, sending him into the guard rails. They then turned their attention to Orton, dragging him to the ring and tossing him in. Sheamus began pummeling Orton's chest with punches. Edge and Sheamus continued to work over everyone, maintaining the control. Edge tried to turn on Sheamus but missed the spear and Sheamus hit the Irish Curse Backbreaker.

Orton went for the RKO on Cena but was shoved off as Edge speared Orton. Edge went for Cena but was caught with the Attitude Adjustment and pinned.

Edge is eliminated.

Barrett attacked Cena immediately. Barrett took out Orton and Sheamus as well. Barrett began drilling Cena with punches but Cena came back with a series of shoulderblocks and a slam. Cena hit the five knuckle shuffle. He picked up Barrett for the Attitude Adjustment and drilled Barrett into Sheamus. Cena locked Sheamus in the STF in the center of the ring but Sheamus fought hard to get to the ropes and finally did.

Nexus hits the ringside area. Cena goes after them but Barrett grabs Cena and nails his finisher, pinning Cena.

John Cena has been eliminated.

The Nexus attacked Orton outside the ring and mauled him. They tossed him into the ring for a waiting Barrett. As Orton made his way to his feet, he was surrounded with Nexus on the aprons.

Thanks for Reading

[Smartmark]

Hmm...so they don't announce the Tag Team Titles match? Strange...

[A Blissful Ass]

The Tag Title Match Will be

The Hart Dynasty vs Cody Gaybay/Drew Englishboy


My bet anyway

[tommy]

Ziggles vs Kofi for the first match. Good move if there are no run-ins like last time.

[The Mac]

i think vicki gonna cost dolph the belt

[tommy]

I'm a bit impressed at the ending of that match...definitely puts Ziggles over as an intelligent wrestler. Decent match.

[Vikingsfan88]

Jesus, this is just lame that Ziggler won, OMG..

[tommy]

Alright, C'mon Punk! Big Show doesn't need this win, but Punk hasn't had a good PPV win in a while!

[The Mac]

shoulda been kofi that won

:lmao: straight edge utopia :lmao:

[Smartmark]

Kofi should have won, and I really hope Show crush Punk. I'm sick of his Straight Edge crap!

[The Mac]

idk i like punk i hope someone debuts as a new ses member tonight to attack big show... not likely but would be cool

[tommy]

Ugh...bull shit like this makes me want to stop watching the little bit of the WWE that I still watch. Two moves and Punk loses? Really?

[Smartmark]

^^ Well, a knockout punch to the head. Usely does the trick in MMA and boxing...

[Vikingsfan88]

well, nice that Big Show won ^^ can't stand CM Punk :P

[A Blissful Ass]

KO by The Big Show

[Kage]

Stupid Big Show

[Smartmark]

^^ I bet you wouldn't dare say that to his face :P

[The Mac]

miz must be cashing in

[Xan20]

DB's music sounds a bit like Abyss'

[tommy]

Nice, good for Danielson. It's nice to see someone who got fired earlier in the year can earn his way not only back in but also as a title holder.

I don't think Miz will cash in tonight. It's time to build him up as just MITB a bit, not have him cash in the same night he taps out.

[Kage]

@SM


I bet I would, and I bet if he did something about it I'd sue his giant ass for all it's worth

[Smartmark]

^^ Yeah, that's the sad part. He will cash in the case for the WWE Title. But as I've said many times, I really hope he fails taking the title when he cashes in.

I really hope that Danielson's arm being hurt is a work. I don't wanna read dirt sheets about him being injured tomorrow

[Vikingsfan88]

oh yes :D Finally the miz dosen't have the belt anymore, but sure he will cash in

[Vikingsfan88]

sure miz will cash inn ^^ but good that he isen't champ now :D

[A Blissful Ass]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Miz Tapped Out Miz Tapped Out Miz Tapped Out Miz Tapped Out

[Swinny]

Great match between Danielson and The Miz and it's great to see Danielson as the US Champion.

Good opening match too, I expected Kofi to take the win, but the way Dolph won put him over well and I'm good with that.

The match between The Big Show and Punk however... not happy with that at all. Punk needed that win, Show winning means nothing, it's just pointless. Punk absolutely should have went over in that match.

And I too think Miz will cash in his briefcase, I've been saying it for awhile and with him losing, I expect it even more. My prediction is that Orton will win the title, Miz will cash in and win and it'll start a Miz and Orton feud for the title. Although I could be completely off, we'll see.

[The Mac]

no double posting....

anywayz i hope miz wins

[Smartmark]

^^ I think double posting are allowed here actually.

Anyway. Interference in a Lumberjill match? :no:
How is it possible? And suddenly the womens titles lost all the prestige that was left :(

[tommy]

No big shock with Michelle winning.


I don't think Miz will cash. I really hope that, oddly enough, Barrett wins it. It's the only way for Nexus to remain relevant at this point.

[Smartmark]

^^ I hope Nexus gets broke up, Miz cashes in and fails, and Orton walks out as WWE Champion together with Kane!

Then, Justice will be served!

[The Mac]

lol then sm wakes up... it all been a dream lol

[Smartmark]

^^ I'm serious, if Kane loses his strap. I'm done with WWE!

[tommy]

Kane retained. I didn't care too much bout that one though. I took a football break. How was it?

[The Mac]

decent match... im lookin forward to tag team turmoil lol

[Swinny]

Yeah, 'Taker and Kane was actually quite good, I enjoyed it, even though I didn't want to see them in a match again.

I'd actually really like to see Wade Barrett win the title too, would definitely be interesting, but I don't really see it happening.

[Punisher]

I CANNOT believe they had Kane squash Taker like that :shock:

[A Blissful Ass]

^^ I'm serious, if Kane loses his strap. I'm done with WWE!

I'll hold ya to that SM

[The Mac]

wtf why make harts lose

[Coruptyed]

^^ maybe a dudley boyz return :p haha

[Smartmark]

The Tag Team gauntlet match was really the worst match tonight!

I can't believe Marella & Kozlov got squashed, then Usos got the titles, then Bourne and Henry, then Cody and Drew gets them in the end?? :no:

WTF are WWE thinking with??? When will they put a title around Evan's waist? He is at least twice as good as Cody and Drew together!

I'm sorry Cody, but you will never ever be like your father! You are just deadweight! Same goes for Drew! Who really cares about him anyway?

[tommy]

I know I shouldn't have gotten attached, but I really wanted Bourne and Henry to win. I just want Bourne to get something...

[Kage]

Wow McIntyre and Rhodes. Never expected that

[Smartmark]

^^ Neither did I. But it sucks anyway!

[A Blissful Ass]

The Tag Title Match Will be

The Hart Dynasty vs Cody Gaybay/Drew Englishboy


My bet anyway


Told yas

[The Mac]

eh hart dynasty should have rematch clause lol

[Swinny]

I'm very, very surprised Kane actually beat 'Taker. I'm glad he did, but as week as he made 'Taker look for weeks, I would have said there was no one Kane would walk out the winner... but he did. This is definitely the biggest push Kane has had and the most over he has been.

And I have no sweet clue what was up with the Tag Title match. It's pretty weird that the Hart Dynasty was eliminated first and Mark Henry and Evan Bourne as the final team, against Rhodes and McIntyre, made no sense. Although I would have liked to see Bourne with a title, I'd rather see Rhodes and McIntyre, who have at least been a time for a while, if only a few weeks, rather than a team they through together, like Bourne and Henry.

So now... Six Pack Challenge. If Miz does indeed cash in, I think it will be Orton who would have won, if they DON'T plan on having him cash in, I could really see Barrett winning it.

[Smartmark]

Why does everyone think Wade will win it? What have he done to deserve to be World Champ?


LOL! Jericho got squashed by Orton!!! PRICELESS!!!

[The Mac]

i think wade will win and miz cash in

[Swinny]

i think wade will win and miz cash in

I had an odd though that Wade would win, Miz would cash in and Barrett would lay down for Miz and Miz would reveal himself as the REAL lader of Nexus, lol. Would be interesting.

[Smartmark]

I hope you're both wrong. Miz or Wade as World Champion? Don't think so!



GAWD! The Nexus invading this match and ruining it. I can't believe it! And as much as I hate Cena, he got eliminated by Wade, after that awful finisher? :no:

[The Mac]

big shock nexus came out i dont think miz will come... i think he will cash in after hiac

[Smartmark]

Well, it was a sucky PPV, but at least some justice was served as Kane retained and Orton won the WWE Title :)

[Xan20]

OMG, what they have been building up to has happened! :rob:

[Kage]

Orton doesn't seem like the type to get cashed in on tbh. If Miz was gonna cash in I think Cena would have won.

[tommy]

Told you all Miz wouldn't cash in the same night that he tapped out.

[Smartmark]

Thanx for the coverage Kellie/Travis!

[Kellie]

Thankyou for the coverage Trav

[CarnivoreJ]

Smartmark how in the hell was this an awful PPV? I haven't posted in a while because I got sort of sick of your constant whining about WWE, unsubstantiated whining no less. You say things like "Cody Rhodes is awful" but you fail to back that up with any evidence of why he sucks, I guess you could use the 30 minute match he had with MVP on NXT a few weeks ago as proof, or the new character he has been playing on television, or maybe the fact that he is actually garnering a pretty decent crowd reaction as proof, but I think all those points prove your statement false.

As far as this PPV: First of all they started off the show with an incredibly hot crowd that led into the Dolph-Kofi match, that Dolph Kofi match was one of the best PPV IC matches they have had in a very long time. Quite a few believable nearfalls, incredible psychology playing off their past encounters and it continued the storyline of Dolph, Vickie, and Kaitlyn. So the PPV has a really hot opener that does not steal the show, but does exactly what it is supposed to...which is get the crowd hyped for this show. This match was thoroughly enjoyable and if you didn't find yourself caught up in the action then I question your love of pro wrestling.

The Punk/Show match was just an excuse for WWE to get a very over heel in CM Punk on television in his hometown, he drew lots of heat from a somewhat affable crowd. That promo was really good, it flowed well, was well constructed, and did its job of getting the usually pro-Punk crowd to turn all out against him. The match wasn't bad it was just too short for a PPV match and really could have been left off the card completely and the time given to the tag team turmoil and everyone would have been happier. But it was still entertaining for what it was and Punk really brought it to Big Show and if you were paying attention Show left hurt. Of course you just hated this match because you hate the gimmick, which is an opinion and I would argue that most of the audience disagrees since Punk's character draws lots of heat and he does a very good job of playing that character.

Then we have a pretty fantastic Daniel Bryan versus Miz match. Now I do not know a whole lot about Brian Danielson but what I have seen has very much impressed me. The Miz has been good on the mic for a while but only has a handful of memorable in ring matches to his credit. This match proved two things in my opinion, 1.) Daniel Bryan can work his style in a WWE environment and get the crowd hyped up 2.) the Miz can hold his own with a world class competitor and actually looked like a solid hand in the ring. This match was start to finish action and I use the same contention I used before, if you didn't find yourself caught up in the action then I question your love of pro wrestling.

The Diva's match was there, they had some half decent spots, but overall it wasn't great. So far what WWE has done is use two of the lesser matches to cool off a hot crowd after some really great matches.

Undertaker Kane was everything it needed to be. It was different than the work-rate heavy matches they showed early in the show and it was pretty great. The psychology and timing was crisp. The brawl felt fresh since WWE doesn't over-utilize it like they used to. Kane won which is the right decision as far as the current line of booking. We are left with a question, something to tune into the show for, with Taker being beaten so badly. I think this match was great for what it was and far exceeded my expectations, I can see how some people would not enjoy it and that is fine.

And here comes the match I read the most whining about. Tag Team Turmoil. Was it rushed? Yes! Did they need about 10 more minutes absolutely. Would I have booked it slightly different? probably. But hindsight is 20/20. First of all they steal all the credibility of the champs by having them loose to Jericho in a handicap match on Monday then they further undercut these guys by having them job in 4 minutes to The Uso's, a team they have beaten many times before. I would have much preferred a longer first part with a quick middle portion. What I mean is I would have rather seen the Uso's and The Harts have a 10 minute tag bout with either team winning (as a side-note: I think the announcers did not help the Hart's by not putting over the fact that they were at a distinct disadvantage having to run the gauntlet) then quickly defeating Kozlov and Santino. But the end of the match I would have left the same. If WWE is serious about creating a viable tag team division they need to put over some new teams. The Uso's got a good rub tonight by defeating the tag champs and another team (a slightly tainted rub as the tag champs have looked like jokes the past few weeks and Kozlov/Santino are just a joke in general) Henry and Bourne are a fun tag team that needs a team name and could really get over well, and also set up a future feud between the two that could be pretty interesting. McIntyre and Cody are quite an odd-couple pairing but they have been very entertaining in my opinion on Smackdown. Here you have two very good heels forming a pretty formidable tag team and it will make a potential chase by either the former champs or Henry/Bourne very compelling to watch if booked correctly. So overall I feel like WWE did what they intended, which is set up a few viable tag teams that can feud with some of the already established teams that they will hopefully do more with (Archer and Hawkins and the Dudebusters come to mind). Overall I think this was another cool down period after a hot match, which has been the theme of the night.

Finally the Six-Pack challenge. This match was fantastic. They did quite a few good things here, they kept the Nexus/Cena storyline going. They piqued everyone's interest with the Jericho loss. They pulled the trigger on the Orton title run. And they made Sheamus look good in the process. All the while they put on a very hot contest that had the crowd in Chicago very hot and the crowd at the bar I watched it at cheering and whooping. This match did everything it should have done and was wall to wall action. Yet again if you didn't find yourself caught up in the action then I question your love of pro wrestling.

Overall I think this was a great PPV it delivered the goods in at least three of the matches it promised, and I would argue that it delivered on four. We come out of it with satisfying clean results and yet still they booked it to keep us interested in the continuing storylines that would stem from the action...the point being, this was one of the best entertainment style PPV's I've seen in quite some time.
