Teddy Long came out to announce post-intermission matches. Fans can text message vote on the stip for the Matt Hardy v. Mark Henry ECW title match.
Jessie/Festus d. Hawkins/Ryder
The Bryan Kendrick d. Jimmy Wang Yang. (They gave this match some extra time, and it was the best match of the night.)
Michelle McCool/Eve Torrez d. Natalya/Maryse (with Maria as special guest ref)
Vladamir Kozlov d. Jeff Hardy (a bit of a surprise that Vlad won with a clean 1-2-3.)
Finlay d. Jack Swagger (Horny used the super soaker on Jack and later distracted ref so Finlay could use shilleilgh. Horny invited kinds into ring afterward for long dance session.)
Intermission
Shelton Benjamin d. R-Truth (pinned) and MVP to retain U.S. Title
Matt Hardy d. Mark Henry to retain ECW title. (At the start Teddy Long came out to announce 73% of fans texting voted for no-DQ; HOWEVER, Teddy then told Tony Atlas if he touched Matt Hardy, Henry would lose the match. So we got a no-DQ match with an asterisk.)
Undertaker d. Big Show (Crowd was super hot for Undertaker, but actually also cheered Big Show when he came to the ring, which seemed to unnerve him. During the match, crowd chanted repeatedly for Undertaker, but did not boo Big Show.)
