| Non-Televised Match - WWE World Tag Team Championship (RAW) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Hardcore Holly & Cody Rhodes Champions |
def. | Santino Marella & Carlito Challengers |
via Pinfall |
| Notes: | |||
| Match #1 (RAW) | |||
| John Cena | def. | John "Bradshaw" Layfield | via Pinfall (15:04) |
| Notes: It looked pretty funny, but Cena couldn't suplex JBL to the outside of the ring. JBL dominated the whole match until Cena pulled an FU out of his ass and won. I was very disappointed here. But JBL looked better losing than Cena did winning. I felt ripped off here. A fluke ending. | |||
| Match #2 - WWE Tag Team Championship (SMDN/ECW) | |||
| John Morrison & Mike "The Miz" Mizanin Champions |
def. | Kane & CM Punk Challengers |
via Pinfall (7:13) |
| Notes: Meh. Miz ran some interference, grabbing onto Punk's leg. Kane ran him down and chokeslammed him outside the ring, but Punk took his eyes off of Morrison to watch those events. Morrison hit the Moonlight Drive on Punk and it was over and done. Miz and Morrison go on as champs. Booo. | |||
| Match #3 (RAW) | |||
| Shawn Michaels | def. | Chris Jericho | via Pinfall (15:53) |
| Notes: Y2J played possum for a bit, staggering around when HBK wanted to give him Sweet Chin Music. But the ploy worked perfectly, letting Jericho land the Codebreaker. It was sweet. Michaels used the Crossface again, but Y2J got to the ropes. Jericho would later attempt the Walls of Jericho, but HBK countered and rolled through to gain the pinfall victory. The best match of the night right here. | |||
| Match #4 - WWE Women's Championship - Triple Threat Match (RAW) | |||
| Mickie James Champion |
def. | Beth Phoenix Melina Challengers |
via Pinfall (4:43) |
| Notes: At the outset, Beth sat on the ropes and demanded Melina leave "Beth's ring". Melina responded with a kick to Beth's midsection, sending her sprawling out of the ring. In a cool spot, Phoenix was able to hold up both of the other women in a double backbreaker. Melina hit a neckbreaker on Beth, and Mickie in turn hit Melina with a DDT and pinned her. | |||
| Match #5 - World Heavyweight Championship (SMDN) | |||
| The Undertaker Challenger |
def. | Edge Challenger |
via Countout (16:16) |
| Notes: I love Undertaker and all, and Edge is good, but I'm tiring of this feud. How many times do we have to see this matchup? Three straight PPVs now, and probably a fourth. Hawkins and Ryder came down to break up 'Taker's momentum, and giving Edge a chance to take a turnbuckle pad off. Edge tried getting Undertaker to go into it, but it backfired when it was Edge himself that got Snake Eyes on it. The two kept duking it out and reversing each other's moves, eventually going outside the ring and over the railing. Just as Edge was about to get back into the ring, Undertaker pulled him off of the apron and entered himself, beating the referee's count and winning the match. However, SmackDown GM Vickie Guerrero came out and said that since there was no pinfall or submission, the title would remain vacant. Needless to say Undertaker was pissed. He Tombstoned Edge and left the belt in the ring. | |||
| Match #6 (INTER) | |||
| Jeff Hardy | def. | Montel Vontavious Porter | via Pinfall (9:43) |
| Notes: MVP came out and issued a challenge of sorts. Matt Hardy came out but instead of fighting MVP himself, he introduced Jeff. Jeff took a lot of punishment here, but kept fighting back. He win with a Whisper in the Wind off the top rope. It came out of nowhere, kind of like Cena's win in the opener. | |||
| Match #7 - WWE World Heavyweight Championship - Steel Cage Match (RAW) | |||
| Triple H Champion |
def. | Randy Orton Challenger |
via Pinfall (21:11) |
| Notes: Why does HHH keep that hideous title belt? Anyway, seconds after the bell rang, Orton tried dashing out the door, which was a good move I think. But this match was pretty average. Not bad, but nothing too memorable here. I didn't expect Orton to win. But like the Edge-Undertaker feud, how many more times do we have to see Orton vs. HHH? | |||
