World Heavyweight Championship Money in the Bank Ladder Match: Dolph Ziggler vs. Santino Marella vs. Cody Rhodes vs. Damien Sandow vs. Tyson Kidd vs. Sin Cara vs. Tensai vs. Christian
I'll basically only put highlights on this, as you know how ladder matches go. Tensai slingshots Tyson into a ladder. Sin Cara just botched trying to do some kind of move to Dolph and nearly broke Dolph's neck. Future endeavors, anyone? Jesus Christ. You can't do that to Tensai but you'll do it to Dolph? Christian misses a frog splash on Tyson Kidd and hits a ladder instead. There's a fat Sin Cara guy in the crowd. One of the ladders is broken on the inside. Tensai just botched a power bomb of sorts on Santino. Good lord. Tyson flips Tensai over the ropes. Christian spears Sandow onto a ladder. Now they're doing a thing with Santino being afraid of heights and unable to climb the ladder. Cody knocks him off with a dropkick.Vickie climbs the ladder to try to stop Cody. Ziggler knocks Cody down.Tyson just flipped off the ropes and hit some kind of a weird power bomb on Ziggler to get him off the ladder - but it wasn't as botched as the previous stuff. Tensai sets up a ladder between the ring apron and the table and power bombs Sin Cara onto it. He then throws Ziggler over the table into the chair that I think Lawler was using. Now we've got Cody and Tyson and Christian in the ring with Santino. Christian spears Cody off the ladder. Dolph knocks Christian off the ladder. Dolph gets it!
WINNER: Dolph Ziggler!
Good match, very glad Dolph won.
Just noticed Brodus Clay's disco ball. He'll be wrestling tonight or at least dancing.
Josh Mathews backstage interviews Sheamus. Sheamus says he's not worried about Ziggler, he's worried about Del Rio tonight.
The Miz gets introduced to come out. He mentions that he was filming the Marine and inserts himself into the WWE Championship Money in the Bank ladder match.
World Heavyweight Championship: Sheamus (c) vs. Alberto Del Rio
I just noticed that the turnbuckle posts are green, because this match isn't good enough to be focused on really. I like Del Rio's new ring gear. Not a whole lot is going on. This kind of feels like a filler match or a Smackdown main event. Sheamus eventually hits the Brogue Kick.
WINNER: Sheamus via pinfall.
Kind of boring, not that great
After the match, Alberto Del Rio and Ricardo Rodriguez beat Sheamus down.
Dolph Ziggler comes out with the briefcase! Del Rio tries to stop him and Ziggler hits Del Rio with the briefcase. Sheamus Brogue Kicks Ziggler - but the bell didn't ring so the match isn't official and Ziggler still has the Money in the Bank contract.
Kofi Kingston and R-Truth come out in suits."Nothing says class like a suit with a do-rag" - Chris Urban, 5 seconds before Booker T said it.
The Primetime Players vs. Epico and Primo
Young and O'Neil have to win this. Blah. How long before they fuck up a move and - there you go. Wait a minute, Primo is able to get a quick pin on Darren Young instead.
WINNERS: Primo and Epico via pinfall.
Crap.
TPP and AW go over to taunt Kingston and Truth. Truth throws his water in Washington's face.
Matt Striker interviews AJ. She acts all crazy again and says CM Punk is an amazing human being. Daniel Bryan is her first love and has a special place in her heart.
WWE Championship [No Disqualification]: CM Punk (c) vs. Daniel Bryan
Pretty generic at first. Time to brawl on the outside for a while. AJ's counting fine, not having stalls or anything. AJ takes a bump when Punk gets whipped into her by Daniel Bryan. Two referees and the trainer come out while Punk and Bryan check up on her (but Bryan throws Punk into the steps). AJ leaves. Crowd is split-chanting for both Punk and Bryan. Punk springboards on the security barricade and clotheslines Daniel Bryan."We want tables" chant right before Punk pulls a table out. Bryan gets a kendo stick but Punk is able to get it off him. Bryan escapes a hit and takes it back, hitting Punk in the ribs when he springboards. Bryan reverses a GTS attempt into a hurricanrana but can't get the 3-count. Bryan puts him in a surfboard and Punk gets out of it, reaches the kendo stick and pelts the living shit out of him. AJ comes back out, telling the referee to leave. She skips around, gets out of the ring, looks underneath it and pulls out a steel chair. AJ puts it in the center of the ring between the two of them and they fight over it. Daniel Bryan gets it and starts hitting Punk in the back. Two-count. Punk rolls him up but gets a two-count as well. The chair is set up at the turnbuckle but AJ stands in front of it so Punk can't throw Daniel Bryan into it. Bryan dropkicks Punk into it instead. AJ steps on the kendo stick, preventing Daniel Bryan from getting it. Punk blasts Bryan with a kick, then bodyslams him and the chair together. Bryan moves out of the way from the elbow drop and Punk hits the chair instead. Bryan puts him in the Yes Lock with the kendo stick. Punk gets out and hits the GTS. He takes a while to crawl over, so there's probably a kick out. Yup. Punk sets up the table in the ring and puts Bryan on it. Bryan gets off before Punk jumps off the ropes. Punk hits a side suplex from the middle rope on Bryan through the table. Punk pins Bryan and AJ counts it for the win.
WINNER: CM Punk via pinfall.
Very good match. Match of the night so far.
AJ sits down Indian-style like Punk after the match, then rewards him with his title belt.
Ryback vs. Curt Hawkins & Tyler Reks
They're actually getting some offense on Ryback - particularly Reks.
WINNER: Ryback via pinfall.
These matches aren't as exciting when they're more than a squash.
Layla, Kaitlyn, and Tamina vs. Natalya, Beth Phoenix, and Eve Torres
Crap match turns to crap with everyone in the ring. Layla hits her neckbreaker on Beth. That's the end.
WINNERS: Layla, Kaitlyn, and Tamina via pinfall.
Divas.
WWE Championship Money in the Bank Ladder Match: John Cena vs. Big Show vs. Kane vs. Miz vs. Chris Jericho
Not a lot of highlights so far. Cena gives Big Show the AA on the Spanish announcer's table. Kane and Miz start throwing ladders on top of Big Show until Jericho hits them both with a ladder to break it up. Jericho locks in a mean Liontamer on the Miz. Miz climbs the ladder and Kane just chucks another ladder at him.Cena gives a Five Knuckle Shuffle to Jericho and Miz at the same time on a ladder, then gives an AA to Kane on top of Miz. Big Show gets back into the ring and breaks one of the ladders (on the inside part). He then breaks the ladder in half so there's two sections of it separate.Big Show destroys everyone and pulls out the giant gold and black ladder from before. Big Show is down after Jericho attacks him with a chair. Cena gets ready to AA Jericho off the big ladder, but Jericho reverses into a sleeper hold. Cena keeps climbing. Miz climbs but Jericho punches him down while still on Cena. Cena drops and Jericho is alone. Miz climbs up and Jericho and him are fighting over the briefcase.Jericho holds on and it swings away but Miz catches him. Big Show starts to climb and hits Jericho with the WMD, then Miz. Cena climbs and blocks a punch with the briefcase, then starts hitting Show with the case. Cena takes the case down and wins, and looks so crazy doing it.
WINNER: John Cena
Funny match in a lot of situations, ending perfectly with Cena's hilarious face
