Thanks to rajah.com reader Jonathon Garcia for sending in this report!
-The Prime Time Players (Darren Young & Titus O’Neil) defeated 3MB (Drew
McIntyre & Jinder Mahal) via Pinfall. Young and O’Neil got a good babyface
reaction from the crowd. Young hit the Gut Check for the win.
-The Great Khali defeated Hunico via Pinfall. Hunico had no reaction
here.Such a boring match. Khali won
-Ryback defeated Kofi Kingston via Pinfall. Another boring match. Kofi wasn’t
as over as he usually is. Ryback won with a Meathool Clothline.
-Natalya & Kaitlyn defeated AJ Lee & Layla The fans got the vote for the
stipulation in this one between a dance off and a divas tag match. Thankfully
we want wrestling over dancing. Divas got very little reaction except AJ.
Good AJ’s crazy chant when she was tagged in. Kaitlyn picked up the win via
Spear
-Cody Rhodes defeated Damien Sandow via Pinfall. Sandow cut a small promo on
his walk to the ring. He bad mouthed the city a bit and then the match
started.Rhodes was getting a good babyface reaction. The finish came when
Rhodes hit his Corss-Rhodes finisher on Sandow for the 1-2-3.
Intermission
-Dolph Ziggler defeated Big E. Langston via Pinfall. Langston was booed
pretty good. Ziggler was over with us It started off really good but slowed
down. Lots of rest holds from Langston. Ziggler countered Langston and hit
the Zig-Zag for the 1-2-3.
-Christian defeated Alberto Del Rio via Disqualification. Del Rio came out
and got a great cheer. After insulted the crowd and was in between after
that.Del Rio applied his Cross Arm-breaker after throwing the referee into
Christian. Christian ended up tappin, and Del Rio started celebrating.
However, it was revealed that Del Rio didn’t win. He was DQ’d for throwing
the ref at Christian, so the tap that came later didn’t count. Post Match
Christian hit Del Rio with the Killswitch
-CM Punk defeated Curtis Axel in a No–DQ Non-Title Match via Pinfall. Paul
Heyman came out with Axel too huge heat and cut a promo. He said the
stipulation was unfair, being a no-DQ match for Axel’s WWE Intercontinental
Championship.More heat here. So, Heyman revealed that he had his lawyers make
sure that since it was a no-DQ match, it would not be for the title after
all. The crowd would not let Heyman talk. Punk came out to one of the loudest
reactions of the night.Through the match Punk kept chasing after Heyman and
never got him. Heyman has great theatrics. The Kendo stick was used and a
chair. Cool spot where Punk suicide dived into a chair. In the end, Punk got
the win with a simple roll-up pin for the 1-2-3. Post Match Heyman is in the
ring selling shock of Axel’s defeat. Punk grabbed him only for Axel to make
the save. GTS for Axel. After everything Punk thanked the crowd for coming.
He said that he was going to do a 90’s dance move called the worm because a
higher up said he would spin on his head.(Meaning Booker T). He did the worm
and called out Booker only to get Heyman and Axel. Heyman said he wanted to
get the hell out of NM and couldn’t get to the airport because Punk’s car was
blocking his. Heyman sent Axel to attack Punk only to be attacked by a kendo
stick.
Notes:
About 80% full. They moved a lot of people from the back closer to the front
before the arena filled up.
