The building was 90 percent full.

1. Chris Masters over Jack Swagger. Masters rolled out of the ankle lock into a small package. Masters received nice pop.

2. The Miz and R-Truth over Alex Riley and Zack Ryder. Truth was way over. The internet still was not enough to get a pop for Ryder. Miz pinned Riley with Skull Crushing Finale.

3. Primo over Tyler Reks with backstabber. Zero reaction for either superstar. The crowd had no idea who was  face or heel.

4. Alberto Del Rio over Kofi Kingston with cross arm breaker. A lot of nice false finishes.

5. Kelly Kelly over Brie Bella. Kelly won with a Rocker Dropper and help from guest host eve Torres.

6. Santino Marella and Vladimir Kozlov over David Otunga and Michael McGillicutty in a non-title match. Santino hit The Cobra on McGillicutty for the win. It was the same match going around the house show circuit.

7. Dolph Ziggler beat Evan Bourne. Ziggler over with Zig Zag after Bourne missed Air Bourne and landed on his feet.

8. C.M. Punk fought John Cena to a Double DQ in a champion vs. champion match. Miz and R-Truth jumped both Cena and Punk. Cena and Punk each hit their finishers on both Miz and Truth. The crowd was 60/40 in favor of Punk. Cena got more cheers than in most cities.

I find it hilarious that grown men can wear a C.M. Punk t-shirt and scream like women, but it's not cool to wear a Cena shirt. I saw a lot of that. Cena got a huge pop. Alberto Del Rio had a lot of hear with USA chants.
