Non-Televised Match - ECW World Heavyweight Championship (ECW)
Christian
Champion
def. Paul Burchill
Challenger
via Pinfall
Notes: Way to go, Captain Charisma.

Match #1 (INTER)
Mike "The Miz" Mizanin
Raw
def. John Morrison
SmackDown
via Pinfall (10:54)
Notes: Is there any real debate here? The promo here tried to make Morrison seem funny and witty, but it was contrived. Miz will only go up while Morrison will be midcard for life. Miz won the match after playing a little bit of possum. Morrison went up for Starship Pain, but Miz got up quickly and knocked Morrison off the ropes. Just like that, Raw was up 1-0 in the quest for the Bragging Rights Trophy.

Match #2 - Six-Diva Tag Team Match (INTER)
Michelle McCool
Beth Phoenix
Natalya Neidhart

SmackDown
def. Kelly Kelly
Melina
Gail Kim

Raw
via Pinfall (6:54)
Notes: Phoenix pinned Melina. Nothing earth-shattering here, but it was better than the average Divas match. SmackDown ties it up 1-1.

Match #3 - World Heavyweight Championship - Fatal Four-Way Match (SMDN)
The Undertaker
Champion
def. CM Punk
Dave Batista
Rey Mysterio

Challengers
via Pinfall (9:57)
Notes: Undertaker pinned Batista, but the best part came after the match. Mathews came into the ring to interview Batista and Rey, which they hardly ever do so you knew something was going to happen, and Batista was pissed. They were kind of friendly for most of the match, but when Batista went for the cover Rey broke it up. Batista pushed him out of the ring and things went on for a time. Batista tossed Rey out of the ring again, but the Undertaker finished Batista off right after. Batista took the mic, told Rey he wasn't playing, and that he was going to rip Rey's head off. And the beatdown was on.

Match #4 - Fourteen-Man Tag Team Match (INTER)
"Team SmackDown"
Chris Jericho
Kane
Matt Hardy
Finlay
R-Truth
David Hart Smith
Tyson Kidd
def. "Team Raw"
Triple H
Shawn Michaels
The Big Show
Jack Swagger
Cody Rhodes
Mark Henry
Kofi Kingston
via Pinfall (15:35)
Notes: Jericho pinned Kingston. King criticized Swagger at one point because his Raw shirt came off, saying "Hey Swagger, you lost your colors!" Nevermind the fact that DX weren't wearing Raw shirts at all, and they were the captains. Whatever, King. You're not cool anymore. Guys took turn getting into the match, and eventually it built up into one guy coming in and finishing off one guy, only to have another from the other team come in and take out the prior guy. Big Show was left and looked like he was going to help Kofi come off the top rope onto Jericho, but Show chokeslammed him off instead. Triple H looked on in disbelief, and when he questioned Show, Big Show gave him the knockout punch. Jericho pinned Kofi, and SmackDown got the Bragging Rights.

Match #5 - WWE World Heavyweight Championship - Anything Goes Iron Man Match (RAW)
John Cena
Challenger
def. Randy Orton
Champion
via 6-5 (60:00)
Notes: -TITLE CHANGE- Orton tapped out at 56:06 because Cena slapped on the STF. It was a good move. Don't damage yourself that early on. At 51:01 an RKO allowed Orton to get a pinfall on Cena. Things went outside for a little bit and Cena's head was busted open. Back in the ring, Cena did the Attitude Adjustment which Randy also countered by grabbing Cena's head on the way down, and both men went down and had an arm over the other. The referee counted both down via pinfall at 43:15. The medical staff then went to work on Cena, trying to close him up. Cena pinned Orton after an Attitude Adjustment off the ropes at 40:38. At this point DiBiase and Rhodes ran in. They helped Orton tie things back up via pinfall at 39:18. Kofi Kingston then ran down and chased off Legacy. Things eventually went up to the stage area, and Orton tossed Cena through some lighting and pinned him at 34:40. Orton then tried to burn Cena and attempt murder by placing Cena up on the stage over the pyro. He then asked the pyro guy which button to push. It eventually went off but Cena rolled out of the way. Things went back to the ring and Cena stole a pin at 27:16. He rolled up Orton and Orton was livid. Orton DDT'ed Cena to the ring floor and pinned him at 24:56 to take a 5-4 lead. Cena kind of woke up and kept going after Orton, and Randy switched to a defensive strategy. Cena hulked up and hit Orton with the steel steps and gave him the Attitude Adjustment through the announce table. A pinfall followed at 9:14. Both men slugged it out in the ring and the referee went down, so there was no one to count the pinfall after an RKO. Another ref ran in, but Cena kicked out. A frustrated Orton took out the new ref. Cena dodged the punt to the head and put Orton back into the STF, and Orton tapped out with five seconds left.
