Dolph Ziggler def. John Morrison via pinfall...here's hoping that Morrison will make the jump to TNA after being consistently buried in WWE (Gail Kim anyone?).
Beth Phoenix def. Eve Torres via pinfall...total no brainer (and a waste of time).
Team Barrett def. Team Orton...Barrett and Cody Rhodes were the sole survivors on their team, which is good news for Rhodes, as I see greatness in his future.
Big Show def. Mark Henry via DQ...which means that the World Title stayed with Henry (who killed the match by ending it with a low blow), but both men really entertained and actually WRESTLED well for two big men. The highlight was The Big Show delivering an elbow to Henry from the top rope. AWESOME!
CM Punk def. Alberto Del Rio via pinfall...FINALLY! The age of Punk begins. This was easily the best match of the night. I sincerely hope that WWE does the right thing with Punk because he has the potential to be HUGE! This is not an exaggeration.
The Rock & John Cena def. The Awesome Truth via pinfall...to see The Rock back in action was almost surreal and the man has not lost a step. As expected, Cena did most of the ringwork, but The Rock's antics and psychology made up for it. Cena was thoroughly booed by the New York audience throughout the match, but I think I can see where they are going with this. If you remember, Rocky Maivia was raucously booed as a fan favorite until he turned heel and became the star that we know today. Could it be that the WWE is going to try to make lightening strike twice by attempting to do the same thing with Cena, but using The Rock to put him over? Hmmmm? Stay tuned...and hopefully it won't be a train wreck!
The truth hurts...
