5. Ryback vs. Aaron Relic and Jay Hatton in a handicap match. Before the match, the jobbers cut a promo about how two is greater than one. One of the jobbers kept saying "two is greater than one" repeatedly and one of the announcers even called for them to shut up. Ryback came out to very little reaction and received "Goldberg" chants from the crowd.

The smaller jobber kicked Ryback, who no-sold it. Ryback roughed him up and then dragged him to the corner and tagged in the other jobber. Ryback destroyed him with a clothesline as the "Goldberg" chants continued. Ryback hit finishing moves on both men and pinned them simultaneously. Khali and Santino were shown watching backstage again...

Ryback defeated Aaron Relic and Jay Hatton in a handicap match in 1:50.


A video that was brought to us by "Jericholics Anonymous" set up the WWE Championship match...

6. C.M. Punk vs. Chris Jericho in a Chicago Street Fight for the WWE Championship. Ring announcer Justin Roberts stressed that there are no DQs or count-outs, and that the only way to win is via pinfall or submission. Punk wore a t-shirt that read "Drug Free" on the front and "Poison Free" on the back. He gave a bandana to his sister at ringside, and Cole noted that Punk's mother was also in attendance. Jericho wore jeans and boots, while Punk wrestled in the t-shirt, jean shorts, and boots.

Punk went on the offensive early and threw two chairs inside the ring. He grabbed a kendo stick and looked like the love child of Raven and Justin Credible in his outfit. The crowd chanted "EC-Dub." Jericho went on the offensive and worked over Punk at ringside. He pulled the padding back from the barricade right in front of Punk's sister. She yelled, "Come on, Punk."

Jericho got in Punk's sister's face. She slapped him. Jericho went after the sister. Punk recovered and went aggressively after Jericho. Punk went for a piledriver on the floor, but Jericho backdropped him and then slammed a television monitor over his back. Later, Punk stumbled a bit coming off the ropes and Jericho hit him with a kendo stick. Jericho taunted Punk about his sister and then pulled out a can of beer and poured it over Punk's head.

"Let's have another one," Jericho said while grabbing another beer from underneath the ring. Punk regained control. The Master of the Spinaroonie told viewers that Jericho spent too much time showboating. At 14:35, Jericho tripped up Punk on the top rope and he crotched himself. Jericho went for a superplex. Punk fought him off and Jericho took a back bump off the second rope.

The crowd cheered as Punk went to the top rope and followed up with the top rope elbow drop for a near fall at 15:45. Jericho came back briefly, but Punk recovered and blocked his Lionsault attempt. Punk put him in position for the GTS, but Jericho slipped out and clotheslined Punk. Jericho ran Punk into a chair that was stuck between the ropes and rolled him up for a near fall. A "Let's Go Punk" chant started but didn't gain momentum.

Jericho hit the Codebreaker 17:55. He followed up a short time later with the Walls of Jericho (no Liontamer). Punk crawled to the corner. Cole quickly pointed out that the ref couldn't force Jericho to break the hold due to the nature of the match. Punk grabbed a fire extinguisher and then used it to break the hold after Jericho dragged him back to the middle of the ring.

Punk slammed the extinguisher into Jericho's gut. Jericho tumbled to the floor and Punk followed. Punk did a repeat flow with the extinguisher and then kicked the side of Jericho's head, which knocked him onto the Spanish announce table. The crowd roared in anticipation. Punk went to the top rope and nearly fell, but he kept his balance and then hit the top rope elbow on Jericho through the table.

Punk rolled Jericho back inside the ring and went for a cover, but Jericho kicked out at two. Punk applied the Anaconda Vice submission hold. Jericho grabbed a kendo stick and slammed it over Punk's head and back to break the hold. The fans chanted, "This is awesome."

At 24:50, Jericho hoisted up Punk for his own finishing move. Jericho boasted that he's the best in the world and went for the move. Punk avoided it, kicked Jericho, and hit the GTS instead and scored the clean pin. The camera cut to Punk's sister clapping at ringside. Punk dove into the crowd by his family members...

C.M. Punk defeated Chris Jericho to retain the WWE Championship in 24:50.

7. Nikki Bella (w/Brie Bella) vs. Layla for the WWE Divas Championship. The crowd wasn't exactly hot for the Layla surprise. There were "We Want Kharma" chants. Cole reminded viewers that Layla had been out for a year with a knee injury. Nikki worked over Layla's knee early on. The knee was covered by a large brace.

Layla got in some offense and kicked Brie off the apron, but Nikki took advantage of the distraction to hit her from behind. Later, the Bellas did Twin Magic, but Layla hit a neckbreaker on Brie and pinned her to win the match...

Layla defeated Nikki Bella to win the WWE Divas Championship in 2:25.


A video package set up the Brock Lesnar vs. John Cena main event...

There were dueling John Cena chants before the entrances. Brock Lesnar made his entrance to his WWE theme. He came out wearing his black t-shirt with MMA shorts, MMA gloves, and a mouthguard. John Cena made his standard entrance. He had a chain and padlock around his neck rather than the dog tags...
