WWE Unforgiven Results: Chris Jericho Wins World Title

The match—featuring HHH, Jeff Hardy, MVP, Brian Kendrick, Shelton Benjamin—ended when HHH hit a pedigree on MVP as time ran out, barely beating Hardy who had a cover on Benjamin.

They are calling this a new title reign for HHH, which is absolutely ridiculous. If you're the champ going in and the champ coming out, nothing has changed. I guess there is no stopping him from eventually passing Ric Flair for most title reigns.

Backstage, Michaels was interviewed and said that he was heading home to be with his family and that the worst was yet to come for Jericho.

Also backstage, Randy Orton confronted World Champ CM Punk and started talking trash. Then, the Young Horsemen (a name I made up for DiBiase, Rhodes, and Manu) attack which Orton punctuated with a mafia kick.

Divas Champion Michelle McCool defeated Maryse: Let's just move on.

At this point, RAW GM Mike Adamle came out and said that Punk might not be able to compete and that if not, he would find a suitable replacement.

Big Show then came out and wanted to be that guy. This prompted Smackdown GM Vickie Guerrero to come out, which prompted the Undertaker appearing on the videoboard and threatening to put Guerrero in a coffin (which was rolled out by druids a few minutes earlier).

Undertaker then came out and Show was holding her from running anywhere. Just as Taker was about to drop a blow on Vickie...surprise! Show turns on Taker and beats him down for several minutes, culminating with her slapping Taker as Show held him back. This went on forever.

Chris Jericho won the WWE World Title in a Championship Scramble: As written earlier, this was a huge surprise. As the last entrant, Y2J was hard-selling his injuries from his earlier match with Michaels. End came when Batista was 30 seconds away from winning the belt when Rey Mysterio flew out of nowhere and Batista caught him.

This distracted away from a speared-out Kane whom Jericho pinned to get the title as time expired. Batista, Kane, Jericho, Mysterio, and JBL were the participants.
