| Non-Televised Match (SMDN) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Kane | def. | Kenny Dykstra | via Pinfall |
| Notes: | |||
| Match #1 - ECW World Heavyweight Championship (ECW) | |||
| CM Punk Champion |
def. | Elijah Burke Challenger |
via Pinfall (11:54) |
| Notes: Crowd liked CM Punk, but didn't seem that into the match. Burke didn't even get his entrance on ppv. They showed the video package leading up to the match, and then boom...he's in the ring. Oh well. Maybe next time, kid. Nothing to write home about here. | |||
| Match #2 - WWE Tag Team Championship (SMDN) | |||
| Matt Hardy & Montel Vontavious Porter Champions |
def. | Deuce & Domino Challengers w/Cherry |
via Pinfall (9:18) |
| Notes: Hardy pinned Deuce. Hardy used MVP's head as a club on Domino, and then made the cover after the Twist of Fate. Enjoyable match, with Hardy and MVP both trying to outdo each other. MVP nearly walked off, but thought better of it and came back. After the match Hardy handed MVP his US title belt, but walked off with both tag title belts. | |||
| Match #3 - No Disqualification Match (RAW) | |||
| Triple H | def. | Carlito | via Pinfall (10:42) |
| Notes: The match was no-DQ for Carlito only. He pulled out all the stops, but of course, none of it was enough to topple the Game. Carlito brought a chair into the ring but Trips delivered a spinebuster. Triple H then grabbed the chair, but the referee took it away from him while Carlito was grabbing a garbage can. When the ref was tossing out the chair, HHH delivered a low blow and followed it up with the Pedigree. They should just have Carlito wrestle the Undertaker in a Buried Alive match so the burial will then be complete. | |||
| Match #4 - WWE Women's Championship (RAW) | |||
| Candice Michelle Champion |
def. | Beth Phoenix Challenger |
via Pinfall (7:07) |
| Notes: The Glamazon Beth Phoenix dominated, but Candice managed to score the pin with a rollup. It came out of nowhere. Candice won, so we had to hear her shitty music again. Better than a lot of the women's matches lately. | |||
| Match #5 - World Heavyweight Championship (SMDN) | |||
| Dave Batista Challenger |
def. | Rey Mysterio Challenger The Great Khali Champion w/Ranjin Singh |
via Pinfall (8:01) |
| Notes: -TITLE CHANGE- Khali pulled another Andre and got wrapped up in the ropes. Batista laid in some shots but then went after Mysterio. Mysterio landed the 619 on both men, but ended up getting Batista-bombed onto Khali. Batista then managed to deliver a spinebuster to Khali and made the cover. Short and sweet. | |||
| Match #6 - WWE World Tag Team Championship (RAW) | |||
| Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch Champions |
def. | Paul London & Brian Kendrick Challengers |
via Pinfall (11:50) |
| Notes: The Redneck Wreckin' Crew does it again. Despite the unsportsmanlike conduct of London and Kendrick. Cade delivered a sit-down spinebuster to Kendrick and tossed London over the top rope, allowing Murdoch to pin Kendrick. I liked the match, but this Memphis crowd is tough. They were pretty quiet. | |||
| Match #7 - WWE World Heavyweight Championship (RAW) | |||
| Randy Orton Challenger |
def. | John Cena Champion |
via DQ (7:20) |
| Notes: Cena's dad was at ringside again, just asking for it. Cena started off like the proverbial bull in a china closet, but Orton was able to gain control, albeit briefly. He tried to keep Cena grounded, but it didn't work. Cena eventually lost it and the ref called for the bell. Kinda cheap. Cena still had some frustrations to work out, so he put the STFU on Orton outside the ring, and then told his old man to come over and kick Orton in the head. And he did it. And the elder Cena must not have too much faith in his kid, because he hit the silk right away and took off for the back. | |||
| Match #8 (SMDN) | |||
| The Undertaker | def. | Mark Henry | via Pinfall (11:26) |
| Notes: Geez. Henry somehow delivered a superplex. And going into this I knew it wouldn't be a classic match, but it was good enough for what it was. You knew who was going to win, but there were just enough big moves here to make it work for me. | |||
