Last night was supposed to be the completion of the foundation. After the WWE Draft shook things up, we were expecting championships to be placed in different areas. After last night, it turns out that Vince McMahon's concept was lost on the tenacity of one man and the greed of one faction.
First Bout: WWE Tag Team Championship
The Dirt Sheet defeat Finswoggle
Finlay and Morrison open up this match with Finlay taking early control. After an interference on the outside, Miz and Morrison decide to turn their attention towards Hornswoggle. Thanks to some clever double teaming, Finswoggle gets the advantage until another interference runs its course again.
Back in the ring, Morrison and Miz make frequent tags to keep the pressure on Finlay, but Hornswoggle manages to tag himself in. After dropping a hurracanrana, a stunner and a bulldog on Miz, Morrison comes in and saves his partner.
Following a few elbows to the Shaman's jaw, Finlay is tagged in and unloads on the tag champs. But after the Celtic Cross, he gets dropped off the apron, and Morrison throws Hornswoggle off the top rope and picks up the win.
Second Bout: WWE United States Championship
Matt Hardy defeats Chavo Guerrero
Chavo tries to go for the quick pin, but Hardy counters with the shoulder block. Hardy goes for the bulldog, but Chavo counters with a chop block. Chavo starts to work on the left knee, and Bam Neely picks up where he left off while the ref's back is turned. Hardy counters out a leg lock, only to get caught in another one.
Chavo misses the swanton and gets clotheslined for his troubles. Hardy nails the Side Effect followed by the elbow drop. Chavo counters with a Single Leg Crab, but Hardy reaches the ropes. As Hardy goes for the Twist of Fate, Chavo wiggles out and reapplies the Single Leg Crab.
After Hardy doesn't tap out of the Crab, Chavo nails the Three Amigos, but on the third amigo, Hardy counters into the Twist of Fate to pick up the victory.
Third Bout: ECW Championship (Triple Threat)
Mark Henry defeats Kane and The Big Show
Kane takes no chances as he brings the fight to both of his challengers. Kane sends Henry out of the ring, but now he has to focus on the Big Show. After a slugfest between the two seven-footers, Show sends him outside, leaving he and Henry to lock horns one on one. After a test of strength, Show bodyslams Mark Henry with ease.
As Show goes for the chokeslam, Henry fights it off and both drop each other with clotheslines. Kane finally recovers and lands the flying clothesline. After a running clothesline in the corner, Mark Henry gets irish whipped into a big boot from the Big Show. After that, a double chokeslam puts Henry down.
The two seven footers fight it out again. After the Big Red Monster kicks out of the chokeslam, he drops a double suplex on the World's Largest Athlete, but Mark Henry recovers and hits the World's Strongest Splash to become the new ECW Champion.
In the back, Batista, John Cena and CM Punk are picturing the future with either the WWE or World Heavyweight Championships on RAW.
