Jericho has words for Shawn.
Jericho is backstage with some words to say to HBK.
"Shawn, last week these assclowns running the show thought it would be a smart idea to team us up, a night after we were both SCREWED out of what was a good WWE Title match when Triple H stuck bis BIG NOSE into our business and got his wife to insert him in, mid match. I was already mad that I didn't get to finish things with you. But tonight, you and me are going to step into that ring, and tonight I will get my revenge on you, and you will NEVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER.......BE CHAMPION.....AGAIN!"

CM Punk vs Jethro Hardy
A decent match between CM Punk and Jethro Hardy followed the match, where both men were able to get in some nice spots, and really run it together greatly. CM Punk at one point looked to have it with a submission, when he had Hardy locked into an Anaconda Vice , and Hardy was able to just touch the rope enough to get the hold broken. Jethro then was about to go for a Twist of Fate, before Punk quickly turned it into a roll up to get a pinfall at the 15:12 mark of the match.

Pac and The Boys?
We see X-Pac backstage with his newly won Cruiserweight Title, when we see Hall and Nash walk up to him, shaking his hand with a smile as Hall speaks first. "Hey Yo, me and Big Kev wanted to come over here and tell you congrats on the championship win. Maybe you can come party with us later tonight." which leads to Nash saying. "Slow down pal, you know you can't party too hard. But really, Pac man you earned it. Good job out there. But this title is lucky, it finally has someone good holding it. Do something with it man." After all of that X-Pac smiled and looked at them. "Well thank you thank you, I mean honestly, it feels great to be champion again. Now, I guess we can go out and party. Just Hall, you can't drink man." as they Pac and Nash laugh walking way as Hall stands there. "I'll do what I want." he says to himself before he goes and follows them.

Who is Stalking Punk?
Backstage you can see CM Punk being stalked by someone, but not who. Punk looks around, feeling like he's being watched but can't confirm exactly what's going on. As he sighs and walks off a little bit and exit's the arena for the night going home.

Resecpt..
After the match, Kenta and Misawa stand in the ring, with their hands raised high as they look over at AJ and Daniels and start chatting between each other as Kenta nods and smiled a little before they walk over to AJ and Daniels who quickly get into a defenseive poiston. But Kenta and Misawa don't attack them, they put out their hands for a handshake out of respect, and after looking around at the crowd, AJ and Daniels shake their hands as they all four stand tall in the ring.

RVD vs Edge
Ths was one of the best matches of the night, these two really were having a match up that had the crowd on their feet the entire time, as both tried to think of how to one up the other one. Edge tried to set up RVD for a spear, only to miss and run right into a spinning kick. Before RVD made his way to the top rope, looking around and hitting the Five Star Frog Splash for the win.

Shawn Michaels vs Chris Jericho.
Now the main event, was something else, it WAS the match of the night. Shawn and Jericho tore the house down from the start of the match, until right at the very end. They gave it every last thing they had, with Shawn hitting Sweet Chin Music out of nowhere at one point in the match, only for Jericho to get his foot on the rope at the last second from the pin fall. Jericho also had Shawn locked in the Wall of Jericho, for a good bit of time, which messed up Shawn's back, as well as make it harder for him to hit Sweet Chin Music. The ending came while they were brawling on the floor. Just as the ref was reaching 7, Shawn hit one last Sweet Chin Music on Jericho, but it took so much out of him he fell onto the floor as the ref hits 10 and calls for the bell, as BOTH MEN are counted out, at the 19:49 mark. The show going off with both men on the floor.
