J.R. welcomes us to the sold-out American Airlines Center, saying there are over sixteen thousand fans on hand. He's sitting next to Mick Foley, who shills the fact that every match has the potential to crown a new champion tonight.

* The Miz & John Morrison {C} v. Fit Finlay & Hornswoggle (Tag Team Title Match)

Slow-mo' hair blow as usual for the champs, Irish music and good times for the challengers. The bell rings at 7:08 and we're underway as J.R. reminds us many fans may be watching on Sky Box Office in Europe. Finlay and Morrison to start. Finlay knocks him down with authority and lays into him with forearms, drops him with a clothesline and makes the first cover of the contest. Finlay gets posted and rolls out. Morrison tries to give chase but Finlay yanks the apron out and Morrison splays his legs on either side of the Night of Champions banner. Hornswoggle comes over to help Finlay, the champs chase after him then throw him in the ring, he bows up to them by throwing down his coat, then padre Finlay and him start running wild and the father throws his son into each one before they do a double sitout to the chests of their respective opponents. Finlay is still legal though and he takes a dropkick and a double gutbuster. Miz is legal for his team and is working him over with Morrison's help, and it's all quick tags to cut off the ring and wear Fit Finlay down. Hornswoggle gets the tag and actually manages a headscissor and a bulldog on Miz before Morrison makes the save with a cheap blow. Miz pulls up Horny only to punch him down. Finlay comes over to make the save and the ref kicks him out. J.R. and Foley call it "schoolyard bullyism" as Morrison tags back in. As Horny gets double-teamed he starts to make a comeback by punching each man before Miz clotheslines him. The ref ushers Morrison out so apparently Miz got the tag. Miz sets up Horny in the corner and goes for a flying splash to the corner, but Horny jumps out of the way. He crawls for the tag but Morrison is tagged in and cuts him off before he can get there. Morrison picks him up, walks over to Finlay's corner, taunts Finlay, and Horny starts to elbow Morrison in the face to get free. He dives under Morrison's legs and makes the hot tag! "BUSINESS IS PICKING UP." Celtic Cross. Tadpole splash coming from the now legal Horny... oh no. Finlay gets knocked down off the apron by an elbow from Miz, Morrison throws Horny off the top and covers him for three. WINNERS AND STILL TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS: MORRISON AND MIZ.

The retaining champs gloat as Finlay checks on his son in the ring. J.R. throws the commentary over to Jerry Lawler and Michael Cole. The two discuss the "historic" implications of Cena and Triple H facing off and we get highlight clips from WrestleMania 22 (and happily I was there for that match) before throwing us to a text messaging poll and the next match.

* Matt Hardy {C} v. Chavo Guerrero (United States Title Match)

Bam Neely comes out with Chavo and Sign Guy holds up a sign that reads "BAM HELPS CHAVO WIPE." Why his signs weren't that good at Judgment Day I'll never know. Matt Hardy comes out to the usual tremendous pop. J.R. and Foley are doing the commentary again as Foley tells us Dallas is very nostalgic for him as he won his first ever professional wrestling title here 19 years ago. Chavo tries to lock up with Hardy early, but he turns a side headlock into a shoulder tackle. Chavo backs off and offers him mock applause. The two lock up again and Chavo gets a basic side headlock takeover, but Matt is quickly back to his feet. Matt takes an arm, whips him to the corner, hits a scoop slam and drops an elbow for a one count. High back bodydrop gets a big pop but Chavo uses a low blow to take control and start to pick apart a leg. Not surprisingly a CHAVO SUCKS chant breaks out. Chavo is in control now and continues to "dissect the left leg" as noted by good ol' J.R. Chavo snaps his neck off the top rope but Hardy recovers quickly and goes for a swanton - nobody home. Chavo goes right back to the attack but Hardy recovers quickly again and hits clotheslines. Elbow and a two count. Foley says that a lot of Hardy's offense involves the leg that Hardy has been working on. Backslide attempt misses and Hardy hits a Side Effect for 2.8! Hardy climbs the ropes, wobbles a bit, hits an anvil for a two count. Chavo goes back on offense and puts the injured leg in a half Boston crab to try and make Matt tap. Hardy gets to the ropes. DDT and a kickout. Hardy is tripped up and put into the half Boston crab again right in the middle of the ring. Hardy once again escapes, getting a right hand on the ropes. A chorus of boos as Chavo starts the 3 Amigos, but Matt finally counters out with a Twist of Fate and covers for three! WINNER AND STILL UNITED STATES CHAMPION: MATT HARDY.

We go back to Lawler and Cole who throw to highlights from Monday night Raw, including McMahon giving away the million and the set collapsing on him at the end of the show. It was quite obvious that McMahon had a big pocket of the stage to fall into during the live show and that no part of the set came close to hitting him, but they're laying it on thick and heavy in the editing to make it look as realistic as possible. It's ironic that McMahon told J.R. that he "risked his life" and "ruined his son-in-law's life" by moving him to Smackdown when neither thing is in any way true. He made HIS life better by not having to give away a million of his own money every week and made Triple H's life better by giving him Tuesday tapings so he could travel with Steph. Time for another title match!


* Kane {C} v. Mark Henry v. The Big Show (ECW Title Match)

Henry comes out first. I'm calling it right now, Henry is your new ECW Champion. Big Show comes out next and Mike Adamle says he needs no introduction - certainly not from Adamle anyway! Raw's only world champion (currently) comes out last with his usual pyro and ballyhoo. Tazz notes that the ring should be reinforced with that much weight in it at one time. We get the official championship introduction from Tony Chimel, who puts over Big Show first, Henry second (claiming he's only 392 pounds) and the champion Kane last. Kane starts slugging both men before Henry splashes Big Show in the corner. Big Show eventually recovers to clothesline Kane, then give him a headbutt. Big Show works him over in the corner with punches. Show charges and Kane gives him a snap DDT for two. Adamle compares the action to Jurassic Park. Kane spills out to the floor and Henry stalks him as the ref starts his count. Replay shows Show tossing him over the top rope and Kane is selling his left knee on the floor. Henry and Big Show lock up and try to push each other in a test of strength before breaking apart. The two circle each other and charge in again for a lock up. Show shoves Henry into the ropes but the two collide on the rebound and neither move an inch. Third lockup and Show quickly takes a side headlock. Henry shoots him off and Show knocks him down with a shoulder tackle. Scoop slam by Show! "HAVE MERCY" screams Adamle. Officials on the outside are checking on Kane's injury to make it look legit. Kane is slowly crawling towards the apron as Show is in full control of Henry, and Adamle tells us that Kane waved away the help of the doctors. Show goes for the chokeslam but Henry fights it off. Double clothesline! Kane finally gets back to the apron and goes up to the top rope! Flying punch to Henry. Blows to Show. Kane shoves Henry into the corner then starts running back and forth between corners with clotheslines to both men, before Henry catches him in a bearhug. Kane fights him off into a straight boot from Show, and then both Kane and Show hit Henry with a double chokeslam. Show goes for the cover and Kane fights him off, then vice versa. Kane and Show duke it out as Henry is down and out. Kane goes to the top rope but jumps off straight into a chokeslam from Big Show... but Kane kicks out at two!!! Henry is still out as Show hooks the leg for another near fall. Show goes out to the apron and heads for the top rope as Kane sits up. Kane comes over, hooks Big Show for a superplex and connects, but Mark Henry jumps on with a 400 pounds splash and steals the pin! WINNER AND NEW ECW CHAMPION: THE WORLD'S STRONGEST MAN, MARK HENRY.

Henry shows off his title belt to Tazz and Adamle and walks up the ramp with a huge smile on his face, holding the belt up in victory. Congratulations to Mark Henry on his first ever world championship and for becoming the new #1 man on the ECW brand. Adamle promises that more champions will be crowned tonight as he tosses the commentary back to J.R. and Foley. We go backstage for an interview, and Batista says he plans to bring a title back to Raw because he's not leaving empty-handed tonight. "I'm gonna be the MAN, on Monday night Raw." John Cena walks up and welcomes him to the program, but says after tonight he won't be the only championon the brand. CM Punk welcomes them BOTH to Raw, holds up the briefcase, and says he's finding it awfully heavy... suggesting he might lighten his burden by cashing it in.

* Hardcore Holly & Cody Rhodes {C} v. Ted DiBiase Jr. & TBD (World Tag Team Title Match)

The champions come out first. "BOB'S CHOPHOUSE: SO GOOD IT HURTS." Thanks Sign Guy. Next out comes Ted DiBiase! Automatic love in DJ's Dugout for any man named DiBiase (Omaha is his father's hometown y'know). Before Garcia can introduce his partner, DiBiase asks if they can postpone the match for ten minutes, or reschedule it for later tonight. The crowd boos him again and again. Mike says he won't forfeit, so go ahead and start the match without his partner... he'll go solo for a bit. Mike still has the mic when the bell rings, Cody comes out, and DiBiase says NO... I want Hardcore Holly. Rhodes motions for him to come in... then he clotheslines his own partner! DiBiase welcomes his officialpartner CODY RHODES. DiBiase throws him around, makes the cover, and picks up the win. YOUR NEW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS - TED DIBIASE AND CODY RHODES.

I love it. I called this on the podcast. I said Rhodes should turn on his partner and join up with the new blood! Replay shows Rhodes wiping out Hardcore Holly, tagging DiBiase, and DiBiase hitting the Russian leg sweep and covering for three. THE NEW GENERATION MAKING A STATEMENT AT NIGHT OF CHAMPIONS BABY. We go to Todd Grisham in a luxury suite with JBL. Bradshaw: "We're in MY luxury suite at the American Airlines Center, and the audacity of holding a PPV and calling it Night of Champions in a state that has yearned for a champion since I left, explain that to me. Explain why JBL would not have a match on this PPV." Grisham: "That's because you're not a champion." JBL is incredulous. You suck chants follow. Bradshaw: "In a failing economy where people are too stupid to realize you can't buy what you can't afford and are losing their own homes, JBL owns his own home and is the CEO of a successful company. With Mr. McMahon being incapacitated, I am the richest man in World Wrestling Entertainment. That makes me a champion, a champion in life. No one else can say that, except maybe for Mark Cuban. As I look around I don't see any championship banners. When JBL left Texas, championships stopped being produced. Dallas has produced nothing but massive failures. The Dallas Cowboys, the so-called America's Team, go to the playoffs and... choke. They choke for a reason, because they choke to the city of champions, JBL's city, New York City. My New York Giants! As far as me being a champion goes, it's not a matter of if, but when."

* Chris Jericho Promo

Jericho: "As the record holding eight time and current IC champion, I was told to come out here tonight and defend against a surprise opponent. Much to your chagrin and I'll tell you who it's not going to be - HBK, Shawn Michaels." Jericho lets the crowd heat for him build. "Chant it all you want, he's not going to be here. He can't be bothered to take a 30 minute flight here because he has some sort of eye injury. As a role model to millions, I show up every night. I show up injured or not. I perform with a broken arm. I've missed my own children's birthday parties to perform for you people. You don't deserve it! You don't appreciate it! Unlike all of you, I'm an honest man. No matter who my opponent is I will have vindication. I'm not here to Save Us any more, I'm here to Save Me from all of you." KOFI KINGSTON'S MUSIC HITS.

* Chris Jericho {C} v. Kofi Kingston (Intercontinental Championship Title Match)

The bell rings and Jericho has no idea what to make of Kingston's unorthodox stance, but after a moment he shoves him into the corner and gives him a slap. The normally jovial Kingston has a sour look on his face for a moment, but only a moment. He charges Jericho's corner and Y2J ducks under the ropes. Jericho gets a side headlock takedown and Kingston pushes him off to get back to his feet. Kingston breaks the grip but Jericho knocks him down coming off the ropes then puts a boot in his face on the canvas. Kingston slumps in the corner as Y2J gives chase. Kingston makes a comeback with uppercuts and Jericho bails out to the floor. Kingston throws him back in and goes for a high cross lateral press that gets two. Lawler says Jericho's eyes got wide when he saw Kingston flying on Air Jamaica. Jericho recovers and dumps Kingston over the ropes to the floor when he was trying to punch Y2J on his shoulders. Cade is over by Lawler and Cole, watching the match, wearing a sharp suit. Jericho is in control now and is working over Kingston in the corner. Jericho tries to hook him for a suplex over the apron back to the inside. Kingston nearly reverses it but Y2J gets the upperhand and hits it, hooking the leg for a two count. Y2J stretches him out over a knee and the crowd wills Kingston back into it, but it doesn't last as Jericho nails him with a beautiful dropkick. Cole puts over Pat Patterson as the first IC champ. Jericho lays Kingston on the rope and jumps on, and Cole says he buried a knee into Kingston's neck. Kingston tries to hit the ropes but Y2J catches him in an ABDOMINAL STRETCH. Love that ab stretch! After holding it for a long time, Kingston finally fights out of it with a desparation hiptoss. Jericho is still in control though, putting Kingston on the ropes, clubbing his back. Jericho goes up behind him. Kingston reverses and jumps off and covers Jericho for two. Kingston's big comeback begins! Lawler says he's wobbly on his feet from Kingston driving his head into the mat. BO! BO! BO! No! Jericho reverses into the Walls, but Kingston nearly reverses it into a schoolboy for three. Kingston makes another quick cover for 2.9. Big boot to the face by Jericho and Kingston is down briefly, but Kingston hits a head scissor and makes another cover for 2.9999. Jericho takes control again, hits the Lionsault, and locks in the Walls of Jericho. Kingston is struggling... Shawn Michaels hits the ring and superkicks Cade! Michaels jumps up to the apron and Jericho knocks him off, but Kingston nails Jericho with his trademark headkick and covers for three! WINNER AND NEW INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION: KOFI KINGSTON.

An elated Kofi Kingston makes his way up the ramp with the belt, but Shawn Michaels is down at ringside. Officials are helping him up. Lawler says he didn't see how Michaels landed. A replay would be helpful. Cole says he smacked into the announce table when he was knocked off by Y2J. Michaels eye is all taped up. Jericho follows him up the ramp and four officials come out to get in his way and keep the two men apart. Jericho breaks through them and hits Michaels right in the injured eye. Michaels rolls around on the entrance ramp, writhing in pain. Another heavy post-match angle to build up the HBK injury even further and add fuel to the fire of an eventual blowoff match between the two men. The replay finally shows that Jericho speared him off the apron, gloated at the injured Michaels, and that's when Kingston hit him with the Jamaican buzzsaw for the win. We go backstage to Edge and Vickie and the crowd in DJ's Dugout loudly boos. Edge cuts a promo on Hawkins and Ryder and says he won't need their help to win tonight. "With that, I'll leave Batista beaten and empty-handed!" Don't believe it for a second - the Edgeheads will come out in the match, I guarantee. Cole puts over their official sponsor Gilette Fusion when we go back to the announce table, and Lawler throws to a commercial with Vince McMahon and John Cena. McMahon demonstrates how comfortable the razor is by laying across some folding chairs, then Cena takes a chair and whack McMahon in the stomach, posing at the end with a foot on McMahon's prone body.

* Mickie James {C} v. Katie Lea (Women's Title Match)

Interesting that they're dropping her last name, even though her "brother" Paul is still accompanying her to the ring. Katie is all over Mickie to start, going for a series of quick near falls. Mickie wraps around her waist and takes her down to the mat, and the two roll for a second before Mickie tries to bridge a pin and only gets one. Mickie blocks a blow, boots her in the gut, and eventually flips her across the ring. Katie has finally had enough and takes a powder to the outside to get advice from her brother as the ref starts the ten count. Katie gives Mickie a low spear when she comes back in but Mickie responds with a low dropkick coming off the ropes. Mickie tries to grab a handful of her hair as Katie rolls out but she comes right back in and picks up Mickie for a suplex. Katie starts kicking and punching her as Mickie writhes around on the mat, then Katie chokes her on the ropes until the ref breaks it up. Katie posts her left arm into the turnbuckle and makes another cover for a near fall. Paul pounds on the apron as Katie takes the left arm and works on it. Mickie gets to her feet and jumps on her opponent, but Katie recovers and faceplants her. She hooks the leg but Mickie kicks out. The ref backs Katie off as Mickie sells the arm in the corner. Katie comes in and starts hammering her in the head. The ref pushers her away. Katie whips Mickie to the corner, Mickie gets a boot up, then hits a head scissor. Series of clotheslines by Mickie as Lawler says her left arm is just hanging limp. Mickie tries to cover but she can't hold her down. Katie grabs the arm and puts Mickie into an armbar! Mickie escapes but Katie posts the arm again. It's not enough though as Mickie manages to quickly hit a DDT to retain! WINNER AND STILL WOMEN'S CHAMPION: MICKIE JAMES.

The post-match celebration is short as we immediately go to a plug for Shinedown's "Devour," the theme song for tonight's show. Next the announce team of Foley and J.R. returns, and Foley says that despite Barack Obama's call for change the remaining champions would like things to say the same. 32% of the text poll think that Batista will bring a title to Raw, 30% think Cena will, and 31% believe that BOTH will. We go to a promo package highlighting the Edge v. Undertaker feud, and setting up the Batista match to take place tonight. "You better hope that you win, because you'll never get another title match against me... AGAIN!"

* Edge {C} v. Batista (World Heavyweight Championship Match)

Edge comes out first with the belt around his waist, as J.R.and Foley put over the fact that Edge was in the crowd in Toronto when Warrior faced Hogan at WrestleMania. Foley: "No superstar brings more intensity to a match than that man Edge." He should know - I watched Edge spear him through a flaming table at WrestleMania live. The boos for Edge are loud as soon as his music stops playing, and Edge yells at them to rile them up even more before hitting a victory pose. Batista's music hits and the crowd ROARS with approval as he comes out to the top of the ramp and poses for his machine gun pyros. Chimel does the big match intro and welcomes the challenger first and the champ next. A surprising amount of people at DJ's applaud for Edge (and I approve) as the match gets underway. Batista is overpowering him to start no matter what Edge tries to counter his strength. Big Dave finally throws him out to the floor and gives chase. Edge gets back in the ring first, but Batista grabs a leg to keep him from getting away. Batista posts him into the barricade and throws him back in, then whips him into the ropes and knocks him down with a shoulder tackle for two. It's all Batista here - whip into the corner sternum first, boot to the face, near fall, another power move and near fall, clothesline over the ropes to the outside. Batista wastes no time throwing him back in but Edge takes advantage of being the first man in by throwing Dave into the steel steps and ringpost. Batista crawls up to the apron but Edge hits a running baseball slide and Big Dave takes a hellacious bump, rolling backwards until he crashes over the ECW announce table to the floor in front of Adamle and Tazz. He's covered in their run sheets for the show when he gets up, but manages to get back to the ring before Mickie Henson makes the ten count. Edge is solidly in control now. When Batista gets a mini-comeback Edge hits a drop toe hold and a swinging neckbreaker for a near fall. Edge puts him in a chinlock as Sign Guy tries like heck to start an EDGE SUCKS chant with his sign, even putting a bouncing ball over it to show how to sing along. The crowd is more interested in clapping Batista back to his feet. Edge tries to rear naked choke him, Batista walks backward into the turnbuckle with him, but when he comes charging over to follow up Edge hits another drop toe hold and plants Batista's face into the turnbuckle. J.R. notes the effectiveness of inanimate objects in Edge's offense. Well Ross, I'm glad they're not ANIMATE objects, it would be kind of hard to throw someone into them. Edge continues to grind away on his opponent as the crowd once again tries to will Batista back up. Edge cranks on the chinklock for all he's worth but Batista swings his elbows to get out then throws Edge into the corner. Batista charges and Edge jumps over him to hit a Jack Brisco rollup for the near fall. Edge goes top rope, Big Dave knocks him off, but Edge snaps the neck off. Batista responds with a running clothesline that leaves both men down with the ref starting a ten count. They get up at 9 and Batista charges Edge into the corner, whips him to the other one for a clothesline, but Edge ducks the next clothesline. Batista knocks him down on what might have been a spear attempt but Edge kicks out before three. SPEAR!! Edge kicks out at 2.9999. Batista tries to set up the Batista Bomb, Edge counters, so Big Dave hits a scoop slam. Batista signals the thumbs down, picks Edge up, but Edge counters into a DDT! Batista kicks out at 2.9999999. Edge sets up in the corner looking for a spear, but Batista blocks it with a big boot to the face. Big Dave goes top rope, but Edge counters with a dropkick in mid-air! Both men are down and Henson starts a double count again as Hawkins and Ryder wheel Vickie Guerrero down to ringside (told you they'd show up). Edge misses a spear as Batista jumps over him, hits a spinebuster, and then Vickie grabs the referee's leg before he can count to three. Edge was looking to capitalize on this but Batista threw him out. Henson starts a ten count again and Edge pulls the ref out and punches him in the face. Vickie: "Send me another ref!! Send another referee!!" HERE COMES CHAVO IN A REF SHIRT, SAUNTERING DOWN TO THE RING. Batista grabs Vickie by the hair and pulls her up into the ring! Chavo sends Bam Neely running down to help and Batista throws Vikcie over the top rope onto La Familia. EDGE CLOCKS BATISTA WITH THE BELT. CHAVO MAKES THE THREE COUNT. YOUR WINNER AND STILL WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION: EDGE.

Foley and J.R. discuss Edge being the ultimate opportunist as they show replays of the finish and put over Batista coming SO CLOSE but still not being able to overcome the stacked odds against him. The camera gives us a long lingering shot of Batista hanging onto the ropes, dripping with sweat, disappointment and disgust written all over his face. The crowd roars for him as he steps through the ropes to the floor as Jim Ross tells us he gave everything he had and then some tonight; pointing out it took all of La Familia to ensure that he didn't win. Foley questions how and why Vickie Guerrero still has a job. Commercial for Great American Bash airs, highlighted by car crashes and vehicles exploding. Video package airs putting over past WWE champions including Shawn Michaels, Eddie Guerrero, Stone Cold Steve Austin and more. Cena says that tonight is a moment that will transcend time as Triple H holds up the belt in his face. Our main event is just moments away!

* Triple H {C} v. John Cena (WWE Championship Title Match)

Cena comes out to his usual mixture of cheers and boos, although the boos seem to have a small upper hand tonight in Dallas - or maybe that's just people in DJ's Dugout. Either way I hear more boos than cheers. Nope - it's official - when Cena hit his pre-match pose that was a definite audible boo in Dallas. TIME TO PLAY THE GAAAAME! Triple H is shrouded in darkness as he walks out with the title around his waist, water bottle in hand. It's time for the spit take. As Santino would say, you can throw pennies at him and make a wish. Hunter is definitely stalling, taking a long time posing on the ropes as the crane camera pans out to show us the venue is packed to the rafters with WWE fans. Garcia is here for the big match introduction and gives us the challenger first, and the boos are even MORE audible without his music playing. Not surprisingly, Triple H gets a nice pop from the Dallas crowd (but not nearly as loud as I would have expected). Mike Chioda is our referee in charge. The bell rings at 9:23 and we're underway!

Triple H scores with a shoulder tackle and Cena looks up at him in frustration. Lawler puts over Cena's "bulging muscles" and the impressive physique of Triple H. Hunter grabs a side headlock and another thing evident besides his physique is how much more tan he is than Cena. Trips gives him a hip toss followed by a CROTCH CHOP. Cena clamps on a headlock, Triple H shoves him to the ropes, Cena powers out and punches him in the face to a chorus of boos before giving him a military salute - an obvious rebuttal for the crotch chop. Cena tackles Hunter with a press, whips him to the ropes, boot to the gut and a fisherman suplex for a two count on the first cover of the match. The Cerebral Assassin hits Cena with a low blow and he rolls out to the floor in pain. Hunter is quick to give chase and spear him into the ring apron, then grab the head and throw him back in. Triple H is overpowering Cena as one lone fan in the crowd holds up a "CENA NATION" sign. I'm not sure whether the "YOU SUCK!" is directed at Trips or Cena. Triple H whips him into the corner for a near fall. Trips works him over in the corner with punches, but Cena retaliates with a few of his own to a chorus of boos on each one. Cena charges but Trips gets the boots up. Triple H comes off the ropes but Cena has a boot up of his own. Cena picks Triple H up for a slam and the boos are even louder still, but he looks at the crowd and nods. Before he can do the "YOU CAN'T SEE ME" Triple H does an upkick and cuts him off. High knee by Triple H rings Cena's bell. Cena whips him to the ropes and ducks down, and that's a mistake - Hunter easily hits a facebuster with the knee. Triple H goes for the Pedigree, Cena counters and bulldogs him to the mat for cheers AND boos. Cena to the top rope, hits a leg drop to the back of the neck, and Cena tries to grab a leg to hook the STFU but Triple H kicks him away. Cena ducks a clothesline and hits another slam, and NOW it's time for the YOU CAN'T SEE ME. Triple H cuts him off before he can hit the five knuckle shuffle with another knee. He's ready for the kill but Cena throws him over the ropes to the floor. Hunter is selling his knee as the camera man gives us a replay which clearly shows Hunter jumping backwards over the turnbuckle. They try to give us another angle just to show him hitting the floor as opposed to leaping over the ropes. Hunter is struggling to get to his feet but Cena comes out and picks up Hunter to drop his knee right on the steel steps, then wraps his leg around the ringpost to do more damage. Cena throws him back in and he's all over the injured leg, but Hunter wiggles to the ropes before he can hit the STFU and forces Cena to break off. Cena opts to work on the leg some more, Hunter tries to shove him off, but Cena tenaciously holds onto it and manages to hook the STFU for JUST a second before Hunter gets another rope break. Cena hurks up the champ for the FU but Hunter reverses it into a PEDIGREE! Hunter crawls over for the cover but he's too late as Cena kicks out at 2.9. Lawler says that may be all that Hunter had. The ref starts a double count. Both men get up after a long count and Cena manages to hit the FU! 1... 2... NO! Triple H kicks out. Both men are down again for another double count. Cena starts to stand up first at 8 but both men are up at 9, although Triple H wobbles and goes back down to a knee selling his injury. It's a slugfest now with both men exchanging blows, a real SLABBAKNAWKKA. Time for the BOO and YAY spot! Cena ducks a clothesline and slams Hunter to the mat! He's weary and wincing on the apron and walks over to Hunter slowly to hit another YOU CAN'T SEE ME, and this time the five knuckle shuffle finally connects. Hunter crawls away as Cena stands behind him waiting. Cena tries to pick him up for an FU but Hunter hangs onto the ropes and blocks it. Hunter comes over for a Pedigree but Cena trips him and puts him into the STFU! Hunter struggles and struggles trying not to tap, trying to get to the ropes, trying to do anything to stop him as Cena pulls and pulls with all of his might. Hunter's fingers reach out... grab the ropes for a second... and Cena pulls him right back to the center of the ring. Cena counters out of the STFU... into a crossface! Now it's Cena struggling with all his might to survive. Cole says Cena is fading fast. Cena may be getting his first real crowd pop of the night. He stands up with Triple H on his back, tries to get out of the crossface and does, but when he goes for the FU, Hunter elbows him in the face repeatedly and hits ANOTHER PEDIGREE. This one finally finishes Cena off! WINNER AND STILL WWE WORLD CHAMPION: THE GAME, TRIPLE H.

In a dark match last night at WWE Night of Champions Jeff Hardy defeated MVP. The original plan was for Chris Jericho's mystery opponent to be Hardy but that was before he moved to Smackdown.

TNA Wrestling presents Victory Road 2008

Tonight we're live from Reliant Arena in Houston, TX as we do some introductions. There wasn't much to the pre-show and the opening and so we'll go straight to the first match.

World X Cup 12-Man Elimination Match

Holy crap, this match is going WAY too fast and I can't remember who all is who so I will do the best I can. Somebody from Team International was eliminated before I could even catch it, Puma is eliminated next. We got Spot-A-Mania happening in the middle of the ring with Milano Collection AT, Curry Man, Chris Sabin and Rey Buchinero all trying something on each other at once. Rudy Charles clears the ring out. Sabin hits the Cradle Shock on Milano Collection AT and eliminates him. Sabin tries a roll-up on Masato, but he wiggles out. Apparently he's the last member of Team Japan left. Alex Shelly gets tagged in, they trade elbows in the corner, Shelly puts Masato in the Tree of Woe, baseball slide dropkick, hesitation dropkick, pin attempt and Masato is the only person left. Shelly gets put in an abdominal stretch by Masato, but he rolls through gets a pin attempt. Masato with a nice DDT, but Shelly tagged in ... well, ****, damnit, I don't know who this is, but he nearly pins Masato a few times, but Masato gets the pin on him, whoever he was, from Team Mexico.

Everybody gets in the ring, the ring clears out and you got Alex Kozlov and Curry Man, Shelly with a Superkick on Kozlov, Williams with a belly to back suplex on Shelly, Curry Man makes the save. Ultimo Guerrero flies into the ring and double-teams Curry Man, wow I'm SO not able to follow this match. I'm sorry if I'm doing a bad job at this, it's just too much stuff going on. Curry Man gets pinned by somebody. Buchinero hits a senton on Doug Williams and eliminates him. Kozlov tries to stop it, but Guerrero stops him and throws him out.

Sharmell begs for somebody to come out to help, nobody is coming, there are no referees or officials. Sharmell on her knees in front of Joe again, begging him to stop.

The lights go dark... Sting's music hits, and Sting comes down to the ring. Joe releases Booker T, he's covered in blood, he looks over to Sting, then turns his back and returns to beating on Booker T. Sting gets on the apron and tells Joe to stop, the match is over. Joe comes over puts his arm around his neck and tells him to just stop, the match is done. Joe shakes his head, the lights come up, Sting gets down and walks off, Joe gets out of the ring, follows behind him, but then turns around and gets back into the ring, attacking Booker T again. Sting turns around and chases him, gets in and pulls Joe off. Sting gets in Joe's face and tell him he's made his point. Joe flips him off, says "**&%%^" and turns his back on Sting. Sting pulls out his bat and nails Joe in the back. The fans... go mild.

Booker T sits up, flops over on Joe. Sharmell comes over and slaps the mat three times and raises Booker T's arm. The fans start booing... they may not have been in support of Joe but they definitley don't approve of Sting taking out Joe from behind. Sharmell and Booker T come over to the announcer's table, grab the TNA Heavyweight Championship and walk off. Sting looks over Joe's body, then departs the ring as we fade to black.
