1) Triple H Vs Samoa Joe ( * * * ) - Non-title, which was a clever touch actually; think about it, if you were choosing an opponent for the man YOU were going to fight for the world title, would you give him a tough opponent if he could lose the title in a match beforehand? No, of course not. Still that's just your humble reviewer waffling. This was a decent match and you could almost have thought at some point that Joe would win. But he didn't. Strong effort though and the victory took a lot out of HHH.
2) Delgado & Love Vs Burchil & Lewington ( * 3/4 ) - A nothing match really, but a fun one. The Bang Gang defeated our intrepid private detectives; that's about all you need to know.
3) Finlay Vs Jay Reso ( * * 3/4 ) - Gosh there has been some tomfoolery between Finlay, Jazz Hands Gee, Reso & Randy Orton recently, and it continued here as, yes, Gee and Orton got involved. Lil' Louis and Hornswoggle got involved to but in all the melee, Reso managed to pin Finlay after Orton clocked him with a chair. This war is not over!
4) Melina Vs Taylor Vs Knox ( * * ) - The winner would get a title shot at Alexis Laree at Man Of Steel. This was a spirited tussle, which Jenny Taylor won. Alexis Laree, on commentary at ringside, seemed impressed with Taylor's win and the two shook hands after the match.
5) Matthew Mercy Vs Umaga ( * * * 1/4) - So could Umaga succeed where Samoa Joe failed? No. But this was a great little TV match which proved that Mercy really is in top form these days. He won, but only just. Triple H returned to ringside after the match for a stare-down with his MoS opponent as the show went off the air.
Whilst not comparing to the last Prime Time special this was still an entertaining night of action, which should have left no-one disappointed. Good work indeed.
