The arena was about three quarters full.

1. William Regal beat Daniel Bryan. Both Superstars came out as faces, with Regal getting a huge reception in his home country. Regal went to shake Bryans hand, Bryan then turned heel for the match, by not accepting the hand shake and giving Regal a low blow. Good match, Bryan getting lots of heel heat. Afterward, Regal got on the mic said Daniel Bryan is the future of the WWE, they hugged and then shook hands with the fans at the front.

Johnny Curtis came down to the ring and got attacked from behind by Jinder Mahal. Referees helped Curtis to the back. Mahal got on the mic talking in his native tongue, to a chorus of 'What' chants. At this point, Mick Foley's music came on, great reception from the crowd. Foley promoted his standup gig in Birmingham then said Mahal is not going to get out of a match that easily, and Foley has picked an opponent for Mahal... Tyson Kidd.

2. Tyson Kidd beat Jinder Mahal. Kidd got the win with Foley in Kidd's corner.

3. AJ beat Tamina with Aksana as special guest referee. Good Diva match lasted about five minutes.

4. Sheamus beat Christian. Huge reception for Sheamus, this guy is so over right now!

5. Hunico beat Yoshi Tatsu. Hunico came to the ring dressed as Sin Cara, before the match he took a couple of Sin Cara signs from ringside and ripped them up, then took his mask off. 

6. Randy Orton and Ted DiBiase beat Cody Rhodes and Wade Barrett. Orton got pop of the night!

7. Big Show beat Mark Henry by DQ in a World Hvt. Championship match. Big Show won by DQ after Henry attacked him with a chair. The show finished with Big Show knocking Henry out.

 Enjoyable show. Orton, Sheamus, Foley and Regal had great receptions from the fans.
