Christian def. Jack Swagger (New ECW Champion)
Chris Jericho def. WWE Hall of Famer Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat
Kane def. CM Punk
Jeff Hardy def. Matt Hardy (“I Quit” Match)
Randy Orton & The Legacy def. Triple H, Batista & Shane McMahon (Randy Orton new WWE Champion)
Edge def. John Cena in Last Man Standing Match (New World Heavyweight Champion)

I thoroughly enjoyed this PPV. Match of the night goes to Christian/Jack Swagger. Now many of you might be wondering why that one over Edge/Cena. One, I’m a peep, and two Jack Swagger gave a great power performance. Give this kid some more seasoning and work on the personality (its a little forced at times) he should be in the top tier someday, if not World/WWE Champion at least US/Intercontinental.
Second match of the night would go to Cena/Edge. This was what JR would call a sloberknocker. It didn’t get match of the night for the ending. Big Show didn’t need to be there. Every time they do an ending like that it doesn’t help Edge. I like it when Edge gets a clean win. He’s a good enough performer to pull that off every time, heal or not.
Quick Random Thoughts:
- Tripple H going to be off show for a while?
- Batista/Randy Orton feud coming?
- Would like to see Triple H and Orton in a Hell in the Cell Match. Wondering if that would happen with WWE’s new PG programming.
- Did Matt Hardy really need to get all whiny at the end?
- Quote of the night, “My Little Slobberknocker”.
- Don’t you feel Michael Cole was left out with the 3 man team of Cole, Ross, and Lawler?
