Christian vs Sheamus, good match to start off the night. Disappointed Sheamus won, but I can see why. Christian could really do with some wins now though.

Sin Cara vs Sin Cara, a slightly awkward match that was too much in the middle of Lucha and American style. They really should have just let them go out and have a Lucha match rather than what they did. The crowd destroyed what good parts there were, the "boring" chants were dumb when followed 2 seconds later by massive pops for some of the spots. Couple of slight botches (from both sides) but nothing major.

Disappointed that they didn't have someone on commentary actually explaining the feud, which actually has a pretty awesome story to it. Hunico wrestled as Mistico when he first started, then Mistico came along, working for the bigger promotion, and "stole" the name, forcing Hunico to rename to Incognito. The whole two Sin Caras thing has been Hunico saying "you stole my name, and now I'm stealing yours" (this is essentially what Hunico said in spanish on Smackdown). It would have been a pretty awesome storyline if it was actually built properly, with commentators who actually knew how to put a feud over. Instead we just got a gallery of idiots going "herp derp which ones which, I think that ones the real one" with no backstory given at all.

Air Boom vs Swaggler was a pretty decent tag match. Not really much to say here.

Henry vs Orton, was great until after the bell. I don't see why the need to have Orton end the match looking strong when he's just been destroyed. Having Henry kick out of an RKO was pretty great. Shame it ended with him running away from Orton, way to make your monster heel look weak.

Rhodes vs JoMo, awesome promo before, loving the return of the classic IC belt. Glad that WWE are making their midcard titles mean something again. With the tag team belts, the US title and the IC title all having important places as stepping stones to the two big ones we might see midcard feuds that actually work to develop and push people.
The match itself was pretty decent. Rhodes holding onto the ring post trying for a countout was great, even if it made him look a bit weak after saying he'd defend it against anyone at any time, it was still pretty good. Only one way it was going to end though, with JoMo continuing his losing streak.

Beth vs K2, right result, wrong way to get there. After losing how many times to k2 desite dominating her, Beth finally wins due to outside interference. Way to make the Divas of Doom look strong there. K2 is the Cena of the Divas for some reason, I'd ask who she slept with to make that so, but we already know that.

The main event. Probably the best HIAC match in the PG era. Locking Cena out was awesome. My love for Ricardo continues, he's an awesome character. Fanning Del rio when he was down to try to bring him round was just great. The result was pretty odd, after giving Del rio the title, you then take it straight back off him, to put it straight back on him. The only thing it does is pushes CM Punk out of the title scene (he's had his rematch) and give Cena another title shot one on one with Del Rio.

The closing sequence, with Miz and R Truth, was gold. HHH has completely lost control, the lunatics have taken over the asylum. Be interesting to see how it all plays out on Raw tonight.
