Justin Roberts came out to a strong crowd reaction, probably because he was the first person out.

1. Brodus Clay defeated JTG. Clay won with a splash.

2. Jack Swagger defeated Alex Riley. Swagger won with the ankle lock. Riley got a very good crowd reaction and the older male portion of the crowd chanted "Let's Go Swagger!"

3. Kaitlyn defeated Tamina to retain the WWE Divas Championship. Kaitly used a spear to get the win.

4. Bo Dallas beat Damien Sandow by disqualification. Cody Rhodes ran in for a beat down of Dallas for the DQ. Rey Mysterio ran in to save Dallas to an uproarious Los Angeles crowd cheer.

Vickie Guerrero ordered a tag match.

5. Rey Mysterio and Bo Dallas defeatedTeam Rhodes Scholars. Mysterio hit the double 619 on Sandow and Rhodes followed by a top rope splash. Insane reaction for Mysterio.

6. John Cena defeated Dolph Ziggler (w/AJ, Big E. Langston) in a Fans' Choice "No DQ" match. As Ziggler asked the crowd for a best of three falls match, Vickie Guerrero came out and affirmed the No DQ match and banned Langston and AJ from ringside. Cena defeated Ziggler with an Attitude Attitude through a table. Cena had previously put Langston through a table after a Langston run-in with the ref down. Excellent near falls.

15 minute Intermission.

7. Zack Ryder defeated Tensai. Ryder used the Rough Ryder to get the win. The kids behind me thought people were chanting "Albert" because he was like " Fat Albert". Sigh. And no Sakamoto ass kicking, sorry Jason.

8. Antonio Cesaro defeated The Miz to retain the United States Championship. Cesaro went over with the Neutralizer.

9. Ryback defeated CM Punk via disqualification in a WWE Championship match. Punk hit Ryback with a chair for the DQ, but Punk retained the WWE Championship.
