Report by Dot Net reader Rebecca Diaz

1. Cryme Tyme defeated Hart Dynasty. Good first match. Really had the crowd going. Lots of heat on Dynasty.

2. Luke Gallows (w/Serena) over Goldust. Gallows really played up his heel role. Getting in the crowds face. He grabbed a fans sign and tore it up. Serena was very involved in match. She attacked Goldust when he was tossed out ringside. Then again later when Goldie was tied up in the tree of woe. Luke hit his finisher for the win.

3. Tiffany and Savannah defeated Layla and Beth Phoenix. Lackluster match. Not much reaction from crowd.

4. Mike Knox over The Great Khali. Shortå match. Knox spent most of the begining of match trying to avoid Khali. Khali gave a boot to the face of Knox then into a huge chokeslam for the win.

5. Drew McIntyre fought Kane to a double countout in an Intercontinental Title match. McIntyre is good on the mic. He spoke bout being the chosen one. He totally ripped into Abilene, Texas, saying he's only heard of place like this in movies like "Deliverance." Funny stuff.

During the match Kane went for the chokeslam but Drew stopped it. Both of them went outside ring. They battle ringside as the ref started the count. The ref called for the bell ending it on a double countout. After the bell, Drew tried to hit Kane with the IC title but Kane caught him with a chokeslam. Kane grabbed the belt and stood over Drew's body holding up the title.

Intermission

6. Ezekiel Jackson defeated Matt Hardy. Okay match. Match was short. Ezikel hits a sidewalk slam for the win.

7. R-Truth over Dolph Ziggler. A lackluster match.

8. Edge and John Morrison defeated CM Punk and Chris Jericho. Jericho did show up and gave a mention to the Olympics. He told everyone how superior Canada is. Jericho said that that now he and Canada hold gold! Great heel reaction. At one point a fan threw a beer can onto the ring. Good match. Lots of action. The crowd was really into it. Edge speared CM Punk for the win.

Most Heat: A tie between McIntyre and Jericho

Best Face reaction: Edge.
