			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>By Jared Silberkleit </em>- Wrestlemania 26 may go down in history as one of the top Wrestlemanias in the history of WWE. Featuring two very good title matches, a thrilling ladder match, and epic main event, and several other solid matches throughout the card, this show lived up to expectations and was a huge step up from last year’s show.</p>
<p>1.    WWE Unified Tag Team Championship: ShoMiz(c) vs. John Morrison and R-Truth</p>
<p>This was a fun little opener but it probably should have been left off the card. Morrison and Miz start things off with Miz fighting out of a hammerlock and stomping at Morrison. Morrison hits a dropkick and a slam before tagging in R-Truth. Truth hits a top rope leg drop on Miz for a near fall and lands a kick before Big Show gets the tag. Truth tries for a cross body but Show hits a fall away slam. Show pushes Morrison off the apron and hits a chop to Truth’s chest in the corner. Morrison hits a big enzuigiri to Show on the apron before Show tags in Miz. They do some good back and forth for a bit before Miz tries for the Skull-Crushing Finale. Morrison fights out but Show hits a Knockout punch and this one’s over. Very brief opener but fun. <strong>Match Time: 3:25     Match Rating: 4/10</strong></p>
<p>2.    Ted DiBiase vs. Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton</p>
<p>This was a pretty decent triple threat match that told a good story and was enjoyable. Orton fights off the double team assault early on and sends Rhodes to the outside with a lariat. Rhodes comes back with a dropkick and Rhodes and DiBiase pound away at Orton for a while. DiBiase hits a clothesline before him and Rhodes do a clothesline-chop block combo on Orton. Rhodes went to the top rope but DiBiase tried for a cover. Cody broke it up and the two started to argue. Cody threw Ted out and hit an Alabama Slam on Orton, but DiBiase broke up the pin. The two argued again and end up tackling each other and rolling out onto the floor. The two fought back into the ring but stopped once Orton got up. Orton back body dropped Ted before giving each man a powerslam. Ted rolled to the outside and Orton gave Cody the side backbreaker. DiBiase and Orton fought outside the ring before Cody took out Ted with a flying cross body over the ropes. Back in the ring Orton hit a double spike DDT to Cody and Ted. Orton kicked Ted out of the ring, waited a bit, then punted Cody in the head. Ted came back in and tried for Dream Street but Orton reversed it and hit the RKO for the win. A solid, entertaining match. <strong>Match Time: 9:02     Match Rating: 6/10</strong></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.edfsuperstore.com" target="_blank"><img title="edf_page_ad" src="http://www.musclesportmag.com/wp-content/uploads/edf_page_ad.gif" alt="edf_page_ad" width="468" height="60" /></a></strong></p>
<p>3.    Money in the Bank Ladder match: Kofi Kingston vs. MVP vs. Evan Bourne vs. Jack Swagger vs. Shelton Benjamin vs. Matt Hardy vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. Drew McIntyre vs. Kane vs. Christian</p>
<p>Despite there being 10 competitors, this year’s edition of Money in the Bank was an awesome match that showcased the athleticism of nearly all the participants. The match began with a ton of manic brawling before McIntyre brings the first ladder into the ring. McIntyre gets up a few rungs before Hardy pushes it over and gives him the Twist of Fate. Swagger takes out all of the participants with a ladder, including Shelton who was close to getting the briefcase on another ladder. Bourne hits the diving double knees to Swagger, who was still holding the ladder. Hardy and Christian then trap Swagger inside a standing ladder by sliding in two ladders (one on each side) in between the rungs and holding Swagger in place. Hardy gets on one of the ladders but Swagger yanks it out from underneath him. Christian tries for a Killswitch to Bourne on one of the horizontal propped up ladders but Bourne kicks him off and hits a shooting star press to Christian off the ladder. Bourne tries to get the briefcase but Hardy meets him at the top and hip tosses him off the ladder to the ring. Hardy almost has the case but Swagger pushes him off the top of the ladder sending him back first into the horizontal ladder. MVP and Shelton fight for a bit, with MVP trying for a powerbomb but Shelton reversing into a hurricanrana to the outside. Kane starts to hit people with a ladder outside the ring before bringing it in the ring where he sandwiches Ziggler inside of it. The ladder gets ripped in half and Kofi tries to use both pieces as stilts as he makes his way across the ring. McIntyre thwarts him by sending him into the ropes. McIntyre and Hardy scale a ladder, with Hardy getting sent to the mat before he pushes the ladder into the ropes, resulting in McIntyre crotching himself. Hardy, Christian, and Kane fight atop 2 ladders side by side, with Hardy and Christian knocking Kane off before Christian reverses a Twist of Fate attempt with a reverse DDT off the ladder. Christian and Swagger then fight at the top of a ladder, with Swagger hitting Christian in the face with the briefcase before unhooking it after a long delay to win the match. Exciting ladder match, better than last year’s Money in the Bank. <strong>Match Time: 13:45     Match Rating: 8/10</strong></p>
<p>4.    Sheamus vs. Triple H</p>
<p>This was a pretty good match, definitely Sheamus’s best thus far in WWE. Both men fight near the corner early on before Sheamus reverses a Pedigree attempt. Triple H is put back into the corner but fights back with a dropkick, suplex, and a knee. The two fight outside the ring with Triple H slamming Sheamus into the barricade. Back in the ring, Triple H works over Sheamus’s leg and puts on a Figure Four. Sheamus gets to the ropes before the action returns to the outside. Sheamus sends Triple H into the steps and slams him into the barricade before rolling him into the ring. Sheamus hits a couple uranage backbreakers before pounding away at Triple H. Sheamus beats him down in the corner before hitting a sledge for a near fall. Sheamus puts on a rear chin lock before getting a slam for a near fall. Sheamus continues to work over Triple H’s neck with a sleeper before Triple H gets out of it by hitting a back suplex. Triple H hits a DDT before the two trade punches. Triple H hits a high knee and a facebuster but Sheamus counters a Pedigree attempt. Sheamus tries for the crucifix powerbomb out of the corner but Triple H fights out of that and a bicycle kick attempt. Sheamus again counters the Pedigree and hits the bicycle kick, but Triple H kicks out. Triple H gets a spinebuster out of nowhere but Sheamus kicks out. Sheamus hits a second bicycle kick but when he tries for a powerbomb, Triple H comes out of nowhere with the Pedigree for the win. The wrong guy went over but still a good match. <strong>Match Time: 12:09     Match Rating: 6.5/10</strong></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.lgsciences.com/product-p/t-911.htm" target="_blank"><img title="lgsci_ani" src="http://www.musclesportmag.com/wp-content/uploads/lgsci_ani.gif" alt="lgsci_ani" width="468" height="60" /></a></strong></p>
<p>5.    CM Punk vs. Rey Mysterio</p>
<p>The stipulation was that if Rey lost, he would have to join the Straightedge Society. It’s a shame that this match got such little time given the great buildup. Mysterio gets distracted by the Straightedge Society and Punk gets the upper hand early on. Rey climbs up to but Punk takes his feet out from under him. Punk tries for a baseball slide in the corner but Mysterio avoids it and Punk crotches himself on the ring post. Outside the ring, Mysterio tries for the flip up bulldog but Punk catches him in a wheelbarrow position and slams him into the steps. Rey fights out of a rear chin lock back in the ring and hits a springboard seated senton. Punk gets a roll up for a near fall before connecting with a huge roundhouse kick. Punk tries for some pinfalls but Rey continuously kicks out before flipping off the top rope with a springboard DDT. Rey tries for the 619 but Punk catches him and tries for the Go to Sleep. Rey counters and kicks Punk in the head, but Punk avoids a frog splash attempt. Rey avoids the corner bulldog and sends Punk into the ropes but Serena and Luke Gallows distract him when he tries for the 619. Serena distracts the ref as Punk tries for the GTS but Rey sends Punk into the ropes (and into Gallows who was on the apron) before hitting the 619 and a splash for the win. A bit too short but still pretty good. <strong>Match Time: 6:31     Match Rating: 6.5/10</strong></p>
<p>6.    No Holds Barred: Bret Hart vs. Mr. McMahon</p>
<p>This wasn’t really much of a match as much as it was Bret getting his revenge on Vince by beating him to a pulp. Vince comes to the ring with the entire Hart family saying that he paid them off to be lumberjacks and that Bruce Hart would be the guest referee. Bret reveals to Vince that he tipped off everyone about the whole deal and that the Hart family would indeed be on his side. Bret pounds away at Vince to start things off before Vince bails to the outside. The Hart Dynasty goes to work on Vince and nail the Hart Attack, with Tyson jumping off the top turnbuckle to the outside. Bret beats on Vince back in the ring before Vince again rolls out. He tries to go under the ring and is pulled out but he has a crowbar in his hand and the Harts back off. Bret avoids a shot with the crowbar in the ring, gets a hold of it, and clobbers Vince with it. Hart teases the Sharpshooter but picks up the crowbar again and pounds away at Vince. Bret stomps at Vince’s midsection for a bit before a chair is slid into the ring. Bret lands a seemingly endless amount of chair shots before finally locking in the Sharpshooter and forcing Vince to tap. I can’t really rate this match but it was fine for what it was, even though it dragged a little. <strong>Match Time: 11:09     Match Rating: N/A</strong></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.solidsitup.com" target="_blank"><img title="SolidSitUp" src="http://www.musclesportmag.com/wp-content/uploads/SolidSitUp.jpg" alt="" width="468" height="60" /></a></strong></p>
<p>7.    World Heavyweight Championship: Chris Jericho(c) vs. Edge</p>
<p>If it weren’t for Taker and Michaels, this match definitely would have stolen the show. Edge and Jericho do some good chain wrestling early on before Edge hits a shoulder block. Edge misses with some clotheslines before connecting with a lariat. Edge stomps at Jericho in the corner but the ref breaks it up allowing Jericho to come back with some strikes. Edge comes back with a back body drop but Jericho rolls to the outside to avoid a spear. The two fight outside the ring for a bit before Jericho sends Edge to the floor with a baseball slide out of the ring. Edge crawls back in but Jericho slingshots him throat first into the bottom rope. Jericho hit a back body drop before putting on a rear chin lock. Jericho slams Edge down to the mat before kicking away at him. Jericho charges at Edge in the corner but ends up going shoulder first into the post. Edge tries to land some offense but Jericho front suplexes him into the ropes. Edge then sends Jericho off the ring apron into the announce table before coming off the apron with a clothesline to Jericho on the outside. They return to the ring where Edge hits a front suplex off the middle turnbuckle for a near fall. Edge avoids a big boot and hits a top rope cross body, but Jericho rolls through with a roll-up attempt. Edge counters a Codebreaker attempt and tries for the spear, but Jericho wraps around Edge‘s back and counters into the Walls of Jericho. Edge counters with a pin attempt and moves out of the way to avoid a Lionsault. Jericho hits an enzuigiri and some punches but Edge gets an Impaler DDT for a near fall. Jericho takes Edge down and tries for a spear but Edge meets him with a big boot. Edge tries for the spear but Jericho meets him with a Codebreaker for a close 2 count. Jericho kicks away at Edge’s leg before putting on the Walls of Jericho, but he changes to a half crab to work over the ankle. Edge makes it to the ropes and counters with a small package. Jericho kicks out but Edge clotheslines him over the top rope. Jericho grabs his title and fights with Edge on the ring apron. The ref is hit and Jericho hits Edge with the title. Edge kicks out, but Jericho hits a second Codebreaker for the victory. After the match Edge set up Jericho on one announce table while standing on the other, then speared him off the table and through a ring barricade near the timekeeper’s table (this was a great spot!). Great world title match. <strong>Match Time: 15:47     Match Rating: 8/10</strong></p>
<p>8.    Michelle McCool, Layla, Alicia Fox, Maryse, and Vickie Guerrero vs. Eve Torres, Mickie James, Kelly Kelly, Gail Kim, and Beth Phoenix</p>
<p>Yuck. Easily the worst match of the night. The faces work over Vickie in the corner for a bit before a crazy sequence ensues with everyone hitting their finishers. This includes Eve hitting an embarrassing, botched senton. McCool saves Vickie by big booting Beth, and Vickie pins Kelly after hitting multiple splashes in a row. This came after the ref botched the count on the first one so Vickie had to hit multiple splashes in a row. Horrible. <strong>Match Time: 3:26     Match Rating: 1/10</strong></p>
<p>9.    WWE Championship: Batista(c) vs. John Cena</p>
<p>Although I would have liked to see this go a bit longer, this was still a very, very good world title match. The two lock up before Batista hits a big shoulder block, followed up by Cena getting a headlock takeover. They trade a few blows before Batista starts to pound on Cena in the corner. He works over Cena’s neck before Cena reverses a suplex attempt with a suplex of his own. Cena gets some offense before connecting with a one handed bulldog for a near fall. He tries for the Attitude Adjustment but Batista counters and hits a DDT. Batista kicks Cena in the face and puts on a rear naked choke. Cena gets up and breaks the hold but Batista knees him in the back and hits a neckbreaker. Cena fights out of another hold with a suplex before hitting some shoulder blocks and a spin out powerbomb, but when he tries for the Five Knuckle Shuffle Batista hits a spinebuster. Cena counters the Batista Bomb with an STF but Batista makes it to the ropes before connecting with a big spear. The two try a test of strength in the corner but Cena sends Batista to the mat. Cena hits a top rope Five Knuckle Shuffle before trying for the AA. Batista holds onto the ropes, Cena tries for an Alabama Slam, but Batista gets on his feet and hits a Batista Bomb. Cena kicks out and Batista tries for another but Cena counters with an AA attempt. Batista counters but Cena finally hits the AA, however Batista kicks out. Cena jumps off the top turnbuckle but Batista catches him and slams him to the mat (repeating the spot from Summerslam 2008). Batista tries for a Batista Bomb, but Cena does a sunset flip and puts on the STF. After hanging on for a while, Batista finally taps out and Cena is the new WWE Champion. Very good title match. <strong>Match Time: 13:30     Match Rating: 7.5/10</strong></p>
<p>10.                   No Disqualification Career vs. Streak match: Shawn Michaels vs. Undertaker</p>
<p>Wow, what a match. Somehow these guys topped the classic bout they had at last year’s Wrestlemania. The stipulation is that Michaels must retire if he can’t end Taker’s streak and the match can only be won by pin or submission. Michaels does the rest in peace taunt early on before delivering a couple chops. Taker comes back with an attack on HBK in the corner but Michaels fights off Old School. Taker tries for Old School again and connects, but Michaels counters a chokeslam attempt and delivers a kick to the knee. Taker fights back and slams Michaels head first into the turnbuckle, but is countered when he tries for a Tombstone. Michaels avoids a clothesline and delivers an early Sweet Chin Music before going to work on Taker’s knee. He hangs Taker’s leg on the bottom rope and pounds away at it. Taker starts to make a comeback but Michaels goes back to the knee. Taker clotheslines Michaels over the top rope and teases a dive, but Michaels catches him with a shoulder on the apron. Taker counters a figure four attempt and sets up Michaels on the apron before hitting the guillotine leg drop. Michaels then puts on the figure four once Taker returns to the ring. Taker struggles for a while before turning over and putting the pressure on HBK. Michaels breaks the hold before the two trade a ton of strikes in the ring. Michaels attacks the knee but Taker responds with some big punches. Michaels hits a flying forearm but Taker chokeslams him after the kip-up. Taker tries for a Tombstone but Michaels fights out and puts on an Ankle Lock, grapevining the leg. After struggling for some time, Taker kicks at Michaels and forces him to break the hold. Michaels clotheslines Taker over the top rope to the outside and tries for a springboard cross body, but Taker catches him and Tombstones him on the floor. A medic checks on Michaels but Taker tosses him aside and throws HBK back in the ring. He tries for a pin but Michaels kicks out. Taker tries for the Last Ride but Michaels reverses at the last second with an X-Factor for a near fall. Michaels tries for the elbow drop off the top but Taker gets his knees up, hurting himself in the process. Taker tries to put on the Hell’s Gate but Michaels counters with a jackknife roll up for a near fall. Michaels connects with Sweet Chin Music but Taker kicks out at 2. He tries for a second superkick but Taker counters and hits a towering Last Ride for yet another near fall. Taker sends Michaels to the outside and rips apart the announce table. He gets Michaels up for the Last Ride but Michaels superkicks him and Taker falls onto the announce table. Michaels then hits a crazy moonsault off the top turnbuckle to Taker through the announce table. Both men return to the ring where Michaels hits Sweet Chin Music again, but Taker kicks out! Michaels tries for it again, but Taker blocks it and hits a chokeslam. He then hits a Tombstone but Michaels again kicks out! Michaels uses Taker’s body to slowly get to his feet as Taker tells him to stay down. Michaels gets up and slaps Taker across the face, followed by Taker getting infuriated and hitting another Tombstone, the third of the match, to put Michaels away. Michaels tearfully says goodbye after the match’s conclusion. What an amazing spectacle of a match. This is the greatest main event in Wrestlemania history and a fitting conclusion to Michaels’s career. <strong>Match Time: 23:59     Match Rating: 10/10</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>By Jared Silberkleit</em> - Going into the show with a card looking very similar to that of last year’s edition, Survivor Series 2009 can best be described as what the 2008 show should have been. Thanks to both world title matches delivering and some traditional Survivor Series elimination matches that succeeded in putting over young talent, Survivor Series ended up being WWE’s second best PPV of the year when the night concluded.</p>
<p><strong>1.    Survivor Series Elimination match: Team Morrison (John Morrison, Matt Hardy, Evan Bourne, Finlay, and Shelton Benjamin) vs. Team Miz (The Miz, Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger, Drew McIntyre and Sheamus)</strong></p>
<p>The night kicked off with the first Survivor Series elimination match as Team Morrison took on Team Miz. While it ran a bit too long and wasn’t the greatest match of its kind, it was still a fun opener. In the first few minutes, Bourne was mostly getting worked over by Swagger and Ziggler but gets the hot tag to Matt Hardy. Hardy and Bourne hit simultaneous second rope elbows to Ziggler’s head before Hardy connects with a Side Effect. Bourne hits a Shooting Star Press and eliminates Ziggler but afterward is instantly hit with a double arm DDT from McIntyre and eliminated. A couple minutes later Sheamus hits a big boot to Finlay to quickly eliminate him after a long staredown.  Hardy then gets worked over for a little while by all of Team Miz before getting the hot tag to Morrison. Morrison hits a springboard enzuigiri to Swagger but the attempted pin is broken up. He shortly after hits Starship Pain to eliminate Swagger.  Miz and Morrison go at it for a bit with Miz hitting a top rope double ax handle, but Shelton Benjamin gets tagged in. Benjamin hits Miz with a flurry of high flying offense and a couple suplexes, but is eliminated following a headbutt from Sheamus and a Skull-Crushing Finale from Miz. Hardy then fights with McIntyre and hits a second rope leg drop for a near fall, but gets eliminated after he misses a moonsault and McIntyre hits his double arm DDT. Morrison then does some back and forth with Sheamus for a while, but McIntyre and Miz beat on Morrison for a little while the ref’s back was turned. Morrison goes for his springboard enzuigiri but Sheamus counters with a kick. Sheamus then hits his running powerbomb on Morrison and Team Miz picks up the win, with Miz, McIntyre, and Sheamus being the survivors. This was a very good opener and did a great job establishing Sheamus and McIntyre, who needed this win badly. <strong>Match Time: 20:55    Match Rating: 6.5/10</strong></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.edfsuperstore.com" target="_blank"><img style="border: 0px initial initial;" title="edf_page_ad" src="http://www.musclesportmag.com/wp-content/uploads/edf_page_ad.gif" alt="edf_page_ad" width="468" height="60" /></a></strong></p>
<p><strong>2.    Batista vs. Rey Mysterio</strong></p>
<p>After all of the hype, this was pretty much just a squash match. It was pretty entertaining for a Batista match but it was far too short. This match served its purpose to establish Batista as a monster heel, but it wasn’t what WWE would have hoped as Survivor Series took place in Batista’s hometown of Washington D.C., where he is always cheered. Mysterio is able to get some offense early on with a bunch of kicks but Batista rebounds with a big lariat. Mysterio gets momentum again and goes for the 619 but Batista blocks it. Batista goes for the Batista Bomb but Rey counters with a hurricanrana that sends Batista outside the ring and then hits a baseball slide to send Batista into the ring barricade. Mysterio hits the 619 and a seated senton before going for a frog splash, but Batista blocks it and then hits a spear. Batista then hits a spinebuster before hitting 3 consecutive Batista Bombs, causing the ref to stop the match and award Batista the win. After the match Batista gave Rey a spinebuster on a chair. This was a solid match but I just wish it had gone longer. <strong>Match Time: 6:49      Match Rating: 5/10</strong></p>
<p><strong>3.    Survivor Series Elimination match: Team Orton (Randy Orton, Legacy, CM Punk, and William Regal) vs. Team Kingston (Kofi Kingston, Christian, R-Truth, MVP and Mark Henry)</strong></p>
<p>This was definitely the best Survivor Series elimination match of the night and the best match of its kind since Team Orton vs. Team Triple H back in 2004. Henry is thankfully quickly eliminated within the first minute after an RKO from Orton. A couple minutes later, R-Truth is distracted and falls victim to a Go to Sleep from Punk and is eliminated. DiBiase then went to work on Christian by hitting a top rope double stomp and a scoop slam. Both men went for their finishers and were denied, but Christian leaps off the top rope into a modified sunset flip powerbomb to eliminate DiBiase. Regal enters and starts brawling with Christian, who quickly gets the tag to Kingston. Regal this Kingston with an exploder suplex but MVP comes out of nowhere with the Drive-By kick to eliminate Regal. Rhodes goes to work on Christian, locking in a couple body-scissors, but Christian fights out and tags in MVP, who hits a series of clotheslines and an elbow drop. MVP is then distracted by Orton, allowing Rhodes to hit Cross Rhodes and eliminate him. Christian soon after hits the Killswitch to Rhodes for another elimination and it is now 2 on 2. Christian and Orton do some great back and forth for a while before Christian counters the RKO with a Killswitch, but the pin is broken up by Punk. Christian charges Orton in the corner, but hits the ringpost and is then caught with an RKO and is eliminated.Kingston and Punk then go at it, with both men trying for their finishers before Punk takes control with leg locks on Kingston’s neck and midsection. Kingston goes for a splash but Punk moves out of the way before hitting a Falcon Arrow for a near fall. Both men fight on the top rope and Kingston is able to knock Punk off and connects with a huge cross body for a near fall. Punk tries for a victory roll on Kingston, but Kofi counters it into a roll-up of his own and Punk is out.

<p><strong>4.    World Heavyweight Championship: Undertaker(c) vs. Chris Jericho vs. The Big Show</strong></p>
<p>Many people were unsure of this match going in, but this ended up overdelivering and was a very enjoyable world title match. Jericho and Big Show team up against Undertaker in the early going, but thankfully this only lasts for a few minutes. Jericho hits Taker in the head with a mic outside the ring but Taker fights back by driving Big Show into the ring post and hits Jericho with a big right hand as Jericho tried for a move off the top turnbuckle. Taker tries for Old School but Jericho trips him up on the top rope and soon puts on the Walls of Jericho. Big Show reenters the match and chokeslams Jericho. He tries to chokeslam Taker, but Taker counters with a DDT. Jericho tries for a pin on each man but is unsuccessful. Taker and Big Show both try for a chokeslam, but Jericho smashes Show in the head with the world title belt. Taker hits a big boot and tries for the Last Ride, but Jericho has the belt again and hits Taker in the head. Jericho tries for a Tombstone and taker counter swith an attempt of his own, but Show catches both guys with Knockout punches. He tries to chokeslam Taker, but Taker counters with Hell’s Gate and Big Show spits up some blood before submitting. Very entertaining title match that was much better than expected. <strong>Match Time: 13:39       Match Rating: 7/10</strong></p>
<p><strong>5.    Divas Survivor Series Elimination match: Team Mickie (Mickie James, Melina, Kelly Kelly, Gail Kim, and Eve) vs. Team Michelle (Michelle McCool, Beth Phoenix, Alicia Fox, Layla and Jillian)</strong></p>
<p>To provide a break in between the two title matches, we got the Divas Survivor Series elimination match. Much of the first half of the match consisted of very quick eliminations out of nowhere. Layla is out after a leg drop from Kelly and Gail is eliminated after a Faith Breaker from McCool. Eve hits a partially botched sunset flip on Jillian for an elimination as well. Phoenix then hits the Glam Slam on both Eve and Kelly to quickly dispose of them.<strong> </strong>Mickie enters and catches Beth with a crucifix roll-up for yet another elimination. All of these eliminations really did happen this quickly. Alicia hits a Northern Lights suplex, but Mickie hits a big splash and Fox is out. Mickie then did some good work with McCool for a bit, with McCool hitting a series of stomps and leg drops before Melina gets tagged in. Melina pounds on McCool before hitting a sunset flip and Team Mickie wins with the survivors being Mickie and Melina. The match got better once it was down to 2 on 2 but the first half was fairly sloppy. <strong>Match Time: 10:40      Match Rating: 4/10</strong></p>

<p><strong>6.    WWE Championship: John Cena(c) vs. Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels</strong></p>
<p>The main event started off with a bang with Michaels hitting Sweet Chin Music on his DX partner Triple H just after the bell. Michaels and Cena did some great back and forth work for a bit culminating in Michaels leaping over the ropes with a cross body on Cena on the outside. Cena goes for the Attitude Adjustment, but Triple H is back up and breaks it up. Triple H then hits a spinebuster to Michaels through the announce table. Triple H then goes to work on Cena in the ring, hitting a spinebuster and neckbreaker for a near fall. He goes for the Pedigree, but Cena catapults him into the corner. Cena hits his series of moves on Triple H and the Five Knuckle Shuffle, but HBK breaks up an AA attempt by sending Cena into the ringpost. Triple H and HBK then duke it out in the ring, with Michaels hitting some chops and atomic drops before Triple H comes back with a high knee and a facebuster. Michaels hits his flying forearm, but kips up right into a spinebuster from Triple H. Michaels goes for a flying elbow on Triple H, but Cena crotches him on the turnbuckle. Cena tries for his top rope leg drop, but Triple H moves out of the way. HBK then hits the elbow on Cena but is sent to the outside by Triple H.

Minutes later, a wild ending sequence ensues with everyone trying to hit their finisher. Michaels hits Sweet Chin Music on Triple H, but Cena hits the AA to HBK on top of Triple H before covering The Game for the win. A great main event to close out an excellent show. <strong>Match Time: 21:14        Match Rating: 8/10</strong></p>
