Opening sequence.
Dudley Boyz vs. Luke Harper/Erick Rowan
Rating: D. Huh? What was the thinking here? You go back to a feud that the Wyatts clearly won and then have them lose the nothing match? Also why in the world was this a tables match? If you want to have Harper and Rowan lose then let one of them take a 3D. I mean, Rowan loses almost every match he has to begin with so is another loss going to hurt him? This was just strange all around.
We look back at Kalisto winning the US Title on Monday.
Social Outcasts vs. Goldust/Damien Sandow/Jack Swagger/Zack Ryder
We look at Cena having shoulder surgery.
Alberto promises to get his title back tonight.
US Title: Alberto Del Rio vs. Kalisto
