1) John Cena Vs Abyss (No Holds Barred Streetfight, * * *) - So the fist match of the evening became a streetfight, an environment that certainly suited the challenger Abyss rather than the champion Cena. And that proved to be the order of the day. Cena looked ok in parts, but he wasn't really booked to be a force in this match. Abyss dominated him and took the European Title after some brutal offence.
2) John Hennigan Vs Too Cold Scorpio (Submission Match, * * * 1/4) - So this one became a submission match, which was always likely to be interesting as neither man is reknowned for his submission skills. Still they concentrated on setting up for submissions (pressure on the legs etc.) rather than the actual submissions which meant this was a tight little match, which was won by Scorpio after he locked Hennigan in a Qeubrada.
3) Laree & Hemme Vs Melina & Valentine (Bra & Panties, *) - Well it's been a long time since we saw one of these (and let's just be thankful that this stipulation wasn't "randomnly chosen" for any of the other matches. All you really need to know is that it was Melina and Valentine who were stripped to their smalls.
4) Punk & Wardle Vs Burke & Jackson (Steel Cage, * * * * 1/4) - The card ended on a really high note as these two clashed in a Steel Cage match which was full of excitement and high impact moves which the crowd lapped up. It was Elijah Burke, surprisingly, who got the pinfall victory over Punk to wrap up a wonderful main event.
