Pretty good size crowd at the Xcel Energy Center. The whole lower bowl was pretty much full with the exception of the seats behind the entrance.
1. Evan Bourne def. Chavo Guerrero Lots of offense for Chavo here. He went up top to end it with the Frog Splash but Hornswoggle came out from under the ring and distracted him. Bourne finished Chavo off with Airbourne. After the match Bourne and Hornswoggle celebrated together with Hornswoggle even carrying Bourne around the ring on his shoulders.
2. Chris Masters def. Alex Riley Crowd was pretty dead for this match and it went on a lot longer than it had to. Riley eventually passed out from the Master Lock.
Kelly Kelly was in the crowd and asked two kids what the name of the upcoming PPV is. They got it right and got to move up to the front row for the rest of the night.
3. Sheamus def. Santino Marella Big pop for Santino. Most of the crowd were either surprised to see Sheamus there or just didn't know who he was. Santino got on the mic and did a spiel about Sheamus looking like a ghost. Very entertaining match as Santino was his usual humorous self. Sheamus won it with his Uranage into a Backbreaker. Crowd gave Santino a big ovation after the match and he acted bashful about it.
4. Mickie James & Gail Kim def. Beth Phoenix & Rosa Mendes Big pop for the Divas. This was my first live event and first time seeing the Divas and WOW, they're every bit as hot in person as they are on TV. Probably even hotter. Anyways, pretty good much. Rosa was in longer than I thought she would be. Mickie eventually got the pin on Rosa after a Lou Thesz Press from the top rope.
5. Kofi Kingston def. MVP & The Miz in a Triple Threat Match to retain the WWE United States Championship Miz was out first and got some huge heat, and actually a few cheers, by saying he wouldn't overstay his welcome in WWE like Brett Favre is in the NFL. Big pop for Kofi as the crowd was really into him. Miz went and sat in a chair in the audience for the first few minutes of the match. Kofi picked up the pin after the Trouble in Paradise on The Miz.
Tony Chimmel brought the 2 kids in and they threw t-shirts to the crowd and plugged John Cena's personally autographed 12 Rounds DVD and matted photo for sale.
Intermission
6. Mark Henry def. Jack Swagger Swagger was doing hand gestures like he was throwing the boos he got from the audience away, which really looked awkward because he kept doing it. Pretty boring match. Henry finished it with The World's Strongest Slam.
7. Triple H def. Legacy in a 1 on 2 Handicap Match Rhodes & DiBiase took turns on the mic talking about how they were the new and DX was the old and that they'd put a finish to them at Breaking Point. HHH got a huge pop for his entrance, which is pretty cool to see live. HHH got on the mic and said he was kind of nervous because this was his first time with two guys, then said that even though the crowd may be chanting "suck it" towards them, they weren't supposed to take it literally. Lots of offense for Legacy but HHH got the Pedigree on Rhodes for the pin. After the match Legacy put a beatdown on HHH.
8. John Cena def. Randy Orton by DQ. Randy Orton retains the WWE Championship Pretty long match with Orton in control for most of it. Cena eventually was able to lock on the STF but Legacy came down and started beating down on Cena. HHH came down and helped clear the ring with Cena. They posed together for a bit then went around ringside and signed things for the audience and high five'd everyone. HHH stayed out there a good 5-10 after Cena went to the back and continued slapping hands with the crowd and signing stuff. Really cool gesture.
Top Cheers:
HHH
Cena
Kofi/Santino
Top Heat:
Orton
Legacy
Miz
