Judgment Day was upon us. On a night where anything was possible, everything did happen. Unfortunately, that’s both good and bad. Here’s the recap of tonight’s WWE Pay-Per-View.
John Cena defeats JBL
Fireworks flew high in Omaha as the 10th Annual WWE Judgment Day kicked off with a rivalry renewed. JBL and John Cena both arrived to the ring in their usual fanfare. If people were expecting a battle of Southpaws, they weren’t going to get it here.
A test of strength started the match, but Cena got suckered with a shot to the midsection and an aggressive arm pull. Things go from bad to worse for Cena as he is a victim of the steel ring posts and some dangerous punches from Layfield. JBL then applies a series of submissions on Cena, but the Doc shows his unbelievable strength by picking up the near 300-pounder several times during the match with the injured arm.
Cena fights back with a shoulder block and a throwback, but a miscue on the top rope gives control back to Layfield. After breaking out of the body scissors, Cena attempts the FU, but either his ribs or his shoulder give out before he can complete the maneuver.
After countering the first big boot, Cena nails a spinebuster then gets up swinging at the self-proclaimed “Wrestling God.” But JBL cheap shots him again, continues to taunt and punish Cena, and finishes up with a vicious clothesline. While attempting a second clothesline, Cena recovers, lands the FU and picks up the win.
While Cena continues to celebrate up the ramp, the camera pans up to an irate William Regal, who had no problem showing his disdain for the former WWE Champion.
The Dirt Sheet defeats Kane and CM Punk to retain WWE Tag Team Titles
Punk and Miz start the only ECW bout of the night. Punk takes the early advantage with a snap suplex, then tags in Kane to pick up where he left off last week. Multiple tags have everyone on the edge of their seat, but The Sheet grabs the advantage.
Punk recovers with a series of kicks then tags in Kane who hits a turnbuckle clothesline and a sidewalk slam before their adversaries regain control with a chop block to the Big Red Machine.
Miz continues the assault until a big boot brings in Punk and Morrison. Following a knee-dog/clothesline, Punk continues the assault on Morrison while Kane chokeslams Miz outside of the ring. The distraction was enough for the Shaman as he nails The Famer on Punk for the victory.
Shawn Michaels defeats Chris Jericho
As the match gets underway, Jericho begins to go after the “injured” knee of Michaels. Shawn gains the early advantage though with multiple headlocks. Following a series of near falls, HBK catches Y2J with the Lone Star Deathlock, but Jericho reaches the ropes to break the hold. A shove from Jericho and a slap from Michaels start a barrage of punches from Jericho who ends up on the receiving end of a cocky smile from The Showstopper.
