Big Show opened and cut a promo about how he lost the World Hvt. Championship to Daniel Bryan in 45 seconds and then Bryan lost to Sheamus at WrestleMania in 18 seconds. He said that was the turning point in his career and now no one makes fun of him anymore (in reference to his build at Mania with Cody Rhodes).
Randy Orton came out and said that their main event was to become No. 1 contender at Hell in a Cell, then Del Rio interrupted and told them both to go to the back of the line because he was screwed by Booker at Night of Champions. At that point, Orton hit the RKO on Del Rio and left the ring to end the opening segment.
1. Antonio Cesaro defeated Santino to retain the U.S. Championship. Antonio came out solo. Good back and forth contest with Cesaro pinning Santino and retaining (thank god) after The Neutralizer.
2. Beth Phoenix beat Natalya. Beth received a huge hometown pop and she has a Polish eagle and Sabres logo hybrid, and the Sabres "B" shoulder patch on her ring gear. Awesome! Beth won after a roll-up and the crowd popped huge. Eve came out and suspended Beth indefinitely until the Kaitlyn attack investigation is over.
Beth Phoenix asked Booker backstage why she was suspended. Booker said she wasn't suspended. Eve intervened and said it was Teddy Long's decision to suspend Beth, then Booker told Teddy Long he's got some thinking to do. They showed Miz putting on makeup for a Miz TV segment with Sheamus for later.
3. Wade Barrett beat Zack Ryder. Barrett won with his new finisher.
The Miz came out for Miz TV. Sheamus came out took Miz's mic and turned the tables on Miz and by asking questions. Miz got the mic back promoted his movie, the book Mick Foley wrote about him, and his SiriusXM show. Dolph and Vickie came out and Dolph guaranteed that after Hell in a cell he will be the World Heavyweight Champion. All three guys eventually started to brawl and ruined the set. Eventually, Sheamus cleared the ring of Ziggler and Miz. Sheamus stood alone at the end.
4. Damien Sandow and Cody Rhodes defeated The Uso's. Sandow and Rhodes won after Rhodes scored with the Cross Rhodes. It looks like there's a tournament with tag teams leading up to a title match, so it would appear that Rhodes and Sandow were the first to advance.
5. Ryback beat Tensai. No Sakamoto again tonight. Ryback won with his finisher and got huge pops from the crowd, which surprised my wife and I.
They showed Randy Orton walking to the ring from the back when Alberto Del Rio attacked him. A ref eventually told him to stop. Show made his entrance. Orton's music played and he didn't come out right away. Del Rio came out instead and declared himself in the match instead of Orton. Randy came out behind ADR and beat him up and threw him against the WWE logo.
6. Big Show defeated Randy Orton. Pretty good match with lots of heat on Show. Orton hit an RKO only for Show to kick out. He attempted a punt kick but Show caught him for a chokeslam. Orton kicked out of Show's pin attempt. Show picked him up again hit yet another chokeslam and finally got the pin to become the No. 1 contender.
Show hit his WMD and KO'ed Randy. Show cut a promo about how Sheamus needs to worry about losing his championship and walked away. Del Rio came back out and beat Orton down in and outside the ring. Booker came out with referees to help Orton and that seemed to be the end of the taping. I guess that might be the angle to write Orton off of TV.
-Big Show does a promo where he wants the world title which brought Orton out and then Del Rio came out....who ate an RKO.
-Antonio Cesaro defeated Santino Marella
-Beth Phoenix defeated Natalya (finally they let Beth win in her home town. After the ring entrances, they played the clips of RAW of Kane & Daniel. During this, there were tons of Welcome Home & Let's Go Buffalo chants. Beth tried to ignore them, but she did acknowledge them) This was a good match with some near finishes. After the match Eve came out and suspended Beth indefinitely.
-Backstage, Teddy and Booker T were talking about a tag team tournament when Beth walked in complaining. Booker T overruled Eve who then accused Teddy of setting her up.
-Wade Barrett defeated Zack Ryder
-The Miz TV show with Sheamus as the guest. The beginning was good as Sheamus as channeling The Rock with his "no one asked you" genre. Vicky & Dolph came down. Sheamus attached MIz and Dolph attacked Sheamus who cleared the ring of the both of them.
-Tag Team Tournament....Round One (brackets are at the end of report)
The Rhodes Scholars (Cody & Sandow) quickly defeated The Usos.
-Ryback easily defeated Tensai. Many "Feed Me More" chants.
-backstage- Del Rio attacked Orton
-Big Show comes out for his match and then Del Rio comes out and says that he will fight the Big Show. Orton attacks him from behind. It was an ok match with Big Show controlling most of the match. The end came when Orton tried an RKO but Big Show kicked out of it...Big Show with 2 choke slams for the clean pin. The Big Show left the ring as Orton layed there....Big Show came back in and gave Orton the WMD. Del Rio then came back out and attacked Orton. It took FOREVER for the refs and Booker T to come out for the save...end of taping
