Roughly 70 percent of the arena was full with around 4,500 spectators. The show began at 6 p.m.

1. Brodus Clay and Santino Marella beat Primo and Epico (with Rosa Mendes).
Brodus and Santino wore shirts with a tiger. Santino is very over, he can speak French.
Brodus and Santino won after a combo "Cobra - Fall of Humanity" in around 10 minutes.

2. Michael McGillicutty beat Tensai. McGillicutty. The crowd didn't like the babyface attitude of McGillicutty.

3. Eve defeated AJ Lee and Layla in a Triple Threat to retain the WWE Divas Championship. A slow match with some AJ chants. AJ Lee won in 6-7 minutes, but Vickie Guerrero restarted of the match. Eve Torres wins with a pinfall on AJ Lee.

4. John Cena beat Dolph Ziggler. Huge chants for Cena and Ziggler is over too. The best match of the night.

20 minutes of intermission with Justin Roberts promo about Cena and Punk signing poster.

5. Antonio Cesaro beat Zack Ryder to retain the United States Championship. Cesaro retained The Neutralizer. Good match and the speech of Cesaro in French (and German) at the beginning was very good.

6. Daniel Bryan and Kane beat Rhodes Scholars (Damian Sandow and Cody Rhodes) to retain the WWE Tags Team Championship. Great match with comedy part with Bryan and Kane. Very entertaining.

7. Ryback defeated CM Punk by DQ in a WWE Championship match. Ryback won by DQ after a chair shot from CM Punk.

The new house show entrance design is better than the previous. There were some sound problems with microphones (for Vickie Guerrero in the Diva Championship match) early on.
