It was OK.It was pretty much a showcase for Langston with a little early offense from Sandow. Solid but nothing amazing.

Your winners and still WWE Tag Team champions, The Rhodes Brothers!
That was just great. Really loved this and worth checking out. Great sequences and near falls aplenty.
Everyone showed respect for each other after the bout.
They had a pretty goofy vignette with the Prime Time Players, Vickie Guerrero, Torito, Brad Maddox, Great Khali and El Matadors to put over the Brawling Buddies. It ended with Kane, complete with music, looking disgusted at Vickie and Brad for playing, then using Brodus Clay to beat up John Cena. Yeeeeeeeeep!
Brodus Clay (with Tensai) vs. R-Truth (with Xavier Woods)
This is Woods' WWE PPV debut. Truth controlled Clay early and hit a dive to the floor where Clay went outside to recuperate. Truth tossed him back in and ascended to the top but was nailed and sent to the floor. Brodus nailed the Banzai Splash and covered Truth but Truth kicked out.
Truth was nailed with a series of elbows and legdrops. The story was that Clay was being too aggressive and mean. Clay nailed a heart punch. JBL made an Ox Baker reference. Clay nailed an exploder and mocked Truth's "What's Up" song.
Clay nailed a running Avalanche splash in the corner, then hit another. Truth crumpled down in the corner. Truth rolled out of the ring. Clay was going to toss Truth into the steps but Tensai stepped in the way and argued with him to toss him in the ring and get the win. Clay said he was winning.
Clay tied Truth upside down and kept nailing him in the corner. Tensai got on the apron and told him to just get the win. Clay said he was a main event player and better than him. Tensai threw his hands up and was disgusted. He walked out. Naomi and Cameron soon did the same. Clay was angry and all this took so long that Truth nailed him with a leg lariat and rolled him up for the pin.
Your winner, R-Truth!
As a way to showcase the new, angrier, more aggressive Clay, it was good...until the end. I hope they have something planned to follow up for tomorrow or else that was a waste. The match itself was fine as was the breakup angle.
Vince McMahon shook John Cena's hand and wished him luck.
Miz vs. Kofi Kingston
They began brawling immediately and battled around ringside. Kingston went for Trouble in Paradise on the floor but Miz moved and nailed the ringpost. That allowed Miz to work him over on the floor and tossed the injured Kingston back into the ring.
Miz began working over Kingston's leg and knee. He began slapping Miz around. Miz placed Kofi's leg on the bottom rope and jumped down upon it, softening it up for the figure four leglock.
Miz exposed the top turnbuckle, then drilled his knee into Kingston's face. Miz went to the top but was dropkicked as he attempted to come off with a flying axehandle. You could hear a pretty sizeable "Boring" chant. The went back and forth. The crowd chanted for Tables.
Miz was sent into the exposed buckle and then nailed with Trouble in Paradise for the pin.
Your winner, Kofi Kingston!
Just OK. No real spark to it.
