Welcome to our coverage of WWE Unforgiven.  We will be updating this page throughout the evening with results from the show, so check back often. 

Unforgiven opened with a brief video package on the Championship Scramble matches, then a longer video going over the Chris Jericho-Shawn Michaels feud. Todd Grisham and Matt Striker then welcomed us to the show. 

ECW Champion Mark Henry vs. The Miz vs. Chavo Guerrero vs. Fit Finlay vs. Matt Hardy.

Finlay attacked Henry with punches and kicks, then hit a DDT for a two count.  Finlay gave Henry another DDT for two. Henry punched back and put Finlay in a bearhug.  Hornswoggle ran in, and Henry let go of Finlay and shoved him from the ring.  The referee was distracted and Finlay hit Henry with the Shillelagh.  Finlay and Hardy threw Henry out of the ring.  Finlay then grabbed Hardy and hit the Celtic Cross for a three count.
