Harper and Rowan vs The Outsiders- #1 Contender's Match for the World Tag Team Titles
Harper and Rowan, surprisingly, wrestled the match right down the middle, not cutting any corners and obeying the referee's instructions. The Outsiders, however, did not, and used that to their advantage, constantly cheating, though always behind the official's back. Hall and Nash isolated Rowan, believing him to be the weaker member of the team, and Harper could only watch on in despair as his partner seemed to put up no real fight. When Hall connected with the Outsider's Edge, Harper seemed not to care about the result, and the slight hesitation was costly, as Nash took out Harper and The Outsiders earned a tag team title shot.
Winners: The Outsiders
Nia Jax(c) vs Kelly Kelly- Women's Title Match
Nia Jax was determined to be a fighting champion, and agreed to put the belt on the line against Kelly Kelly. Kelly looked to take advantage of this big opportunity, and took it to the champion in the early going, even hitting Nia with a Rocker Dropper, though it only kept her down for a one count. Nia only seemed to get angrier, and decimated Kelly with multiple power moves, ending it with a leg drop to retain her title. After the match, former champion Chyna confronted Nia, and revealed that they will meet in a rematch for the belt, next week on Raw.
Winner and still Women's Champion: Nia Jax
D-Generation X vs The Usos
We were scheduled to see an interesting tag match, as D-X took on the Usos. However, things seemed fishy when Triple H entered solo, with rumors of a rift surrounding D-X. Those rumors were confirmed when the Game was ambushed by his own partner, Shawn Micaels. HBK beat down on his "friend", hitting him with a steel chair before finishing it with Sweet Chin Music. Michaels refused to comment on the attack, stay tuned for more....
CM Punk(c) vs John Cena- Intercontinental Title Match
CM Punk was forced to defend his belt against John Cena tonight after no-showing at King of the Ring, and fans were intrigued to see this match up once more. They would be disappointed, as after the referee rang the bell, Punk just turned and walked off. As Cena stood in the ring, stunned, Punk walked up the ramp and to the back, getting counted out. Cena took the win, but Punk dodged the challenge yet again.
Winner: John Cena
Stone Cold Steve Austin(c) vs Sheamus- World Heavyweight Title Match
Sheamus won this opportunity at King of the Ring, defeating Drew McIntyre, and Austin won the belt against Bray Wyatt in a brutal match, so both men were fighting sore. They didn't show it early, as they quickly engaged in a brawl that tore apart the outside area, with bodies being thrown everywhere. Austin caught Sheamus with a Stunner back inside the ring, but the Celtic Warrior lived up to his nickname and kicked out. As both men brawled once more, Sheamus accidentally took out the ref with a big diving tackle. Austin, not caring about his tactics, set up a chair in the corner, unbeknownst to the official. Austin then rammed Sheamus' head off the steel, potentially knocking the Celtic Warrior out, then drilled him with a second Stunner for the victory.
Winner and still World Heavyweight Champion: Stone Cold Steve Austin
