Vickie Guerrero announced the double main event of Ryback vs. Paul Heyman in an NYC street fight and John Cena vs. Dolph Ziggler in a steel cage.

1. The New Age Outlaws defeated Team Rhodes Scholars. Jesse James said "nice mustache" to Cody. Billy Gunn said although current WWE is PG this is NYC and if you're not down with that.... Sandow taunted JJ and said "It's not 96!" Billy pinned Rhodes with the Famouser. The Outlaws are in great shape. Billy's thinning hair is the only sign of aging. Road Dogg thanked the porno cowboy and savior of the unwashed asses after the match.

2. Brodus Clay (w/Cameron, Naomi) pinned David Otunga. Afterward, Jack Swagger came out and challenged Clay

3. Brodus Clay pinned Jack Swagger. The Funkadactyls danced with some lucky kids in the ring after the match.

4. Eve pinned Kaitlyn. Short and sweet.

5. Santino pinned Tensai with the Cobra. Tensai was forced to sing "Rudolph the Red-nosed reindeer." He claimed he was Jewish and broke out into Adam Sandler's Hanukah song. Tensai was hysterical singing "Jews like Heyman, Roberts, and me."

5. The Shield defeated Team Hell No and the Miz. Roman Reigns pinned The Miz after a powerbomb in a chaotic and entertaining match.

6. The Uso's pinned the Prime Time Players. The Uso's won with a double Superfly splash and pinned both PTPs simultaneously.

7. Antonio Cesaro pinned Zach Ryder. Cesaro won with The Neutralizer in a surprisingly good match.

8. Ryback pinned Paul Heyman in a NYC street fight. Heyman gave a great promo blistering the Knicks and Rangers before the match. The Shield jumped Ryback and Team Hell No chased them off. Heyman moved in on Ryback but was Shellshocked immediately. Ryback left and returned to the ring to put Heyman through a table.

9. John Cena pinned Dolph Ziggler (w/AJ, Big E Langston) in a cage match. Big E. Langston closed the door on Cena like Terry Gordy but on Kerry Von Erich back in the day. Cena recovered and hit the AA on Ziggler.

The Garden was shy of a sell out as there were many empty seats on the upper level. An entertaining show overall.
