Non-Televised Match (SMDN)
"Cryme Tyme"
(Shad Gaspard & JTG)
def. "The Hart Dynasty"
(Tyson Kidd &
David Hart Smith)
w/Natalya
via Pinfall
Notes: Gaspard pinned Kidd.

Match #1 - WWE Unified Tag Team Championship (INTER)
Chris Jericho (SMDN)
& The Big Show (RAW)
Champions
def. "The Legacy" (RAW)
(Ted DiBiase
& Cody Rhodes)
Challengers
via Submission (9:32)
Notes: Due to the Edge injury, Jericho chose Raw's Big Show to be his new partner and co-champion, and "JeriShow" was born. Kind of a slow match. Legacy isolated Jericho for much of it, but Show finally made the blind tag and forced DiBiase to submit with the Colossal Clutch.

Match #2 - ECW World Heavyweight Championship (ECW)
Christian
Challenger
def. Tommy Dreamer
Champion
via Pinfall (8:32)
Notes: -TITLE CHANGE- If Christian didn't beat Dreamer, I would have been very disappointed in him. Crowd kind of liked both guys, but the match was a little flat.

Match #3 - WWE United States Championship - Six-Pack Challenge Match (RAW)
Kofi Kingston
Champion
def. Montel Vontavious Porter
Mike "Miz" Mizanin
Carlito
Jack Swagger
Primo Colon

Challengers
via Pinfall (8:36)
Notes: Kofi pinned Carlito. Primo replaced Big Show, who was announced as Jericho's partner earlier in the evening. Pretty good match that was fast paced. It had to be in order for each man to get in his shots in the short time period given.

Match #4 - WWE Women's Championship (SMDN)
Michelle McCool
Champion
def. Melina
Challenger
via Pinfall (6:13)
Notes: Physical Divas match. Cool spot where McCool DDTed Melina on top of the security wall. Also, when Melina did the splits on her ring entrance, McCool kicked her off the apron, which was a nice touch. Pretty smart on her part. McCool just reversed a Melina pin attempt and looked like she escaped by the skin of her teeth.

Match #5 - WWE World Heavyweight Championship - Triple Threat Match (RAW)
Randy Orton
Champion
def. Triple H
John Cena

Challengers
via Pinfall (22:21)
Notes: Orton pinned Cena. Yay! Nice build here. Orton started out holding his own, then it went to Cena and HHH after they took him out, but Orton worked his way back in again. Pretty good match. HHH even broke out the Sharpshooter on Orton and Cena put the Crossface on him at the same time. Orton tapped out, but the referee couldn't award the decision to either HHH or Cena, because no one could say who caused the submission. It was at this time that DiBiase and Rhodes ran in to attack Trips and Cena. Cena got Rhodes up for the Attitude Adjustment, but Orton drilled him with an RKO with Rhodes up on his shoulders. Cena was done after that. I couldn't take another Cena win. Thank you, Randy.

Match #6 - WWE Divas Championship (RAW)
Mickie James
Challenger
def. Maryse Oullet
Champion
via Pinfall (8:37)
Notes: -TITLE CHANGE- Poor Maryse. Quite a good heel Diva. The looks, the mannerisms...all works to a tee. I just wish the perfume she sprayed in Mickie's face was called "Arrogance: For Women" or something like that as a homage to "The Model" Rick Martel or something. The longest Divas match in some time, I think. When was the last time they went 8 minutes?

Match #7 - WWE Intercontinental Championship (SMDN)
Rey Mysterio
Champion
def. Dolph Ziggler
Challenger
w/Maria Kanellis
via Pinfall (14:20)
Notes: Why Maria likes Dolph, I'll never know. But he came ready to fight. He pretty much beat on Rey Rey the whole time, but Rey stuck around and could not put put down for good. And the next thing you know, a 619 comes out of nowhere and he retains the title. Good showing by Dolph, even in defeat.

Match #8 - World Heavyweight Championship (SMDN)
Jeff Hardy
Challenger
def. CM Punk
Champion
via Pinfall (14:58)
Notes: -TITLE CHANGE- Nice enough of a match, except for the ending, of course. Boo Jeff Hardy. Well, it was Punk's own fault. For most of the match he was kind of coasting through it, being very cocky and arrogant, as if he thought Jeffrey would have no chance at all. Jeff would get in a little bit of offense, but then he would do something high-risk and it would backfire. Punk's cocky approach to the match ended when Jeff kicked out of the GTS. After that, Punk was content to walk away and lose via countout, but Jeff ran him back into the ring and finished him off with a Twist of Fate and Swanton.
