Team Miz vs. Team Morrison
The Miz, Drew McIntyre, Sheamus, Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger
John Morrison, Matt Hardy, Evan Bourne, Shelton Benjamin, Finlay
Off to Matt vs. Drew as things slow down a bit. They send each other into opposite corners with Matt taking over via a neckbreaker and the yelling legdrop for two. Another neckbreaker puts McIntyre down but Matt goes up and misses a moonsault press. A second Future Shock (called a Kobashi DDT by Striker) gets a second elimination for Drew, leaving us with Morrison vs. Sheamus/Miz/McIntyre.
Rey Mysterio vs. Batista
We recap Team Kofi vs. Team Orton. Orton was all evil and psycho so Kofi stood up to him. This resulted in what looked to be one of the best face pushes in a long time, as Kofi showed some AWESOME emotion and looking like a serious threat to take Orton down. He destroyed an Orton racecar and then got in a BIG brawl with Orton all over Madison Square Garden, culminating in hitting a Boom Drop through a table.
Team Randy Orton vs. Team Kofi Kingston
Kofi Kingston, MVP, Mark Henry, R-Truth, Christian
Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, Ted DiBiase, CM Punk, William Regal
Smackdown World Title: Undertaker vs. Chris Jericho vs. Big Show
Jericho misses a charge and Taker pounds away on Show before clotheslining him down. Show heads to the floor and Jericho gets beaten up for awhile but the big bald guy pulls the champ to the floor. Taker is all cool with that though and posts Show before getting crotched when attempting Old School on Jericho. Chris superplexes him down but Taker gets the knees up to block the Lionsault. Jericho counters the counter and puts on the Walls, but Show breaks it up with a chokeslam.
The survivors of Team Miz (Miz, McIntyre and Sheamus) brag a bit. They all claim to be the future.
Team Mickie James vs. Team Michelle McCool
Michelle McCool, Layla, Beth Phoenix, Jillian Hall, Alicia Fox
Mickie James, Kelly Kelly, Melina, Gail Kim, Eve Torres
Batista liked hurting Rey.
Raw World Title: HHH vs. Shawn Michaels vs. John Cena
Cena signs some autographs for National Guard members to end the show.
