Michael Cole and JBL came out for commentary. Lilian Garcia came out to serve as the ring announcer...
The Fandango set lowered onto the stage and in the ring. Fandango's music played and the crowd went wild. The crowd sang the song or at least tried to. The Fandango display lit up with small flares. Fandango messed with Lilian Garcia and said she looked excellent tonight. Lilian looked like she was ready to puke and Fandango told her that she was terrible when trying to Fandango...

3. Alberto Del Rio (w/Ricardo Rodriguez) beat Jack Swagger (w/Zeb Colter). When the official's back was turned, Zeb punched Del Rio. Later, Del Rio ran into the corner post with his shoulder. Del Rio's knee was bandaged heavily. A "We The People" chant started but was weak while a Del Rio chant got momentum and then slowed down once Swagger got back on the offense.
Swagger taunted Del Rio, and Del Rio got on fire and turned things around for a short bit. There were several near falls throughout the match. Swagger applied the Patriot Lock, and Del Rio made it to the ropes for the break. Del Rio ended up winning by pinfall. A very good match as it went on...

5. Big Show and Mark Henry defeated Sheamus and Randy Orton. A decent pop for Big Show. Orton came out and the place went wild for him. Next out is Sheamus and the place was even louder pop for the Great White. Show won the match for his team by chokeslamming Orton and pinning him.
: Are you kdding me? Thought the main event would do something bigger than this, but always good to see anyone Big Show overcome superbooking. Where are we with Kofi Kingston? He feels like Yoshi Tatsu after jobbing all year but guess that's for the best. Surprised they pulled the trigger on the WM Rematch on TV so quickly, but the match sounds great. Overall decent but missable Jobberdown.
