Tony Chimel was the ring announcer.
William Regal (accompanied by Layla) def Santino Marella to retain the Intercontinental title. Santino said before the match started that Regal would have the shortest title reign of all the times. I missed the finish, but i'm pretty sure it was the running knee. Regal did his pro English promo after the match.
Beth Phoenix def Candice Michelle, with Mickie James as special Referee, to retain the Womens Title. Quite a good match with a lot of near falls for Candice, before Beth won with the Glam Slam. After the match, Mickie and Candice double teamed Beth to knock her out of the win.
Haas Hogan def D'lo Brown. D'lo turned heel, by attacking Haas from behind after they had shaken hands. D'lo dominated most of the match, before Haas hulked up. Haas hit the leg drop, which D'lo kicked out of, but then Haas won shortly after with a roll up. Haas did some Hogan poses after the match with some kids.
CM Punk & Kofi Kingston def Cody Rhodes & Manu to retain the World Tag Team Titles. Pretty good long match. Manu and Cody worked over Kingston most of the match, before CM Punk got the hot tag and pinned Cody after the Go To Sleep. Lots of CM Punk chants.
Kane def Snitsky. Kane worked as the face. Fairly dull match, which ended after a Chokeslam. Kelly Kelly was guest ring announcer for this match, so it was kind of like The Beauty and The 2 Beasts.
Shawn Michaels def JBL. I was surprised to see Michaels, as I thought he didn't do house shows anymore. Michaels got probably the biggest reaction of the night. JBL talked for quite a while before the match and got really good heat. He was talking about Raw and how he hit Michaels with a steel chair right next to "Horse face Lillian". JBL worked over Michaels, before Michaels came back with all his signature moves. He missed Sweet Chin Music first time, JBL then went for the Clothesline from hell, but Michaels ducked and hit Sweet Chin Music for the win.
Batista and Rey Mysterio def Chris Jericho & Randy Orton. Good match. Jericho talked before the match, calling all the fans liars, cheaters and hypocrites. Mysterio hit a double 619 on Jericho and Orton at one point. Mysterio hit a dropkick on Jericho to knock him out the ring. Batista then pinned Orton with a Batista Bomb. There were a few Jericho and Orton chants, but the majority of the fans were behind Batista and Mysterio.
Regards,
Steven Taylor
