Match 1: Santino Marella vs. Alberto Del Rio in a Steel Cage Match
1 of 8The cage begins to lower as a video package of the rivalry these two have had is shown, highlighting key parts from WrestleMania, through No Mercy to Money in the Bank.ย
Santino Marella comes out first to a big pop, which isnโt a surprise, given how over he is with the crowd. Tonight, itโs different. Itโs like heโs close to shaking off the โcomedy competitorโ tag that heโs had for all these years.ย
Matthews: โSantinoโs looking really focused now as he makes his way down the ramp. Heโs looking at the steel cage and shakes it to see what heโs let himself in for!โย
Alberto Del Rioโs music hits now and he comes out with Ricardo in tow. He gets some decent heat from the crowd as he holds his Intercontinental Championship belt high in the air.ย
Striker: โAlberto really has to beat Santino tonight to cement his title reign as one of the best in recent years. Heโs held the belt for 84 days.โย
Alberto looks nervous as he approaches the cage and runs his hand along it as he climbs into the ring. The referee takes the belt from Alberto and shows it to Santino and the crowd, before handing it to the referee guarding the cage door. The referee on the outside locks the cage and rings the bell as this match gets underway.ย
Both men now lock up evenly and itโs a test of strength early on. Neither competitor is moving an inch and they break away. They lock up again and Alberto manages to push Santino over. Santino looks a bit embarrassed. He recovers and locks up again, but this time Santino retaliates and is able to push Alberto over this time.
Alberto doesnโt quite take the embarrassment as well as Santino and he charges at him, going for a clothesline, but Santino ducks, grabs him from behind and chucks him into the steel cage! Alberto bounces straight off the cage and Santino goes for a quick cover: 1โฆKICK OUT!!
Santino drags Alberto up and hits him with lefts and rights before he slaps him in the chest and the crowd chants โWOOOO!!โย Santino whips him into the ropes and as Alberto bounces off, Marella ducks and bounces off the ropes himself, connecting with a huge cross-body! He rolls into a cover: 1โฆKICK OUT!!ย
Alberto tries to shake off that last hit off and rolls away from Santino. The challenger follows him, but Alberto springboards off the ropes and lands a dropkick, knocking Santino to the mat. Alberto decides not to worry about the pin and tries to scale the cage, using the ropes to climb high.
He attempts to grab on to the top of the cage and pull himself up, but Santino realises whatโs happening and springs up on the top rope, placing his head between Albertoโs legs and powerbombs him off the top rope! Santino now crawls over to Alberto for the cover - 1โฆ2โฆKICK OUT!!ย
Matthews: โDid you hear that impact? Del Rio could be seriously injured after that HUGE powerbomb by Marella!โ
Santino hits his fists off the mat, trying to get the adrenaline flowing. He climbs to the top rope and looks as if heโs going for his patented cross body, but he stops and looks up at the corner of the cage! He shimmies up to the top of the cage and looks down at del Rio.ย
Striker: โSantino did say that he wasnโt going to run away! He said he was going to stay in the cage and finish the match right to the very end!โย
As del Rio slowly gets to his feet, Santino flies off the top of the cage, looking for a cross-body, but Alberto rolls out of the way! Santino crashes and burns, hitting the mat and bouncing his skull on the canvas! Alberto now swings his arm onto Santino, making the cover: 1...2...KICK OUT!!ย
Alberto sits up shocked, he canโt believe that wasnโt a three count! He hooks Santinoโs leg and goes for another cover: 1...2...BUT MARELLA KICKS OUT AGAIN!! Alberto shakes his head in disbelief but he stands up and drags Santino with him. Santino can barely stand.ย
Matthews: โMatt, it looks like the lights are on, but nobodyโs home! Marella looks out of it!โย
With Santino staggering, Alberto attempts an enzuigiri, but Santino blocks it, spinning del Rio around and Santino connects with the Milan Miracle! Santino falls on top of Alberto for the cover: 1โฆ2โฆKICK OUT!!
Santino doesnโt move off Alberto as both men lay there unconscious. The refโs got no choice but to start a ten count โ 1โฆ2โฆ3โฆ4 - neither man is stirring โ 5...6...7 - Alberto now shrugs Santino off of him and begins to get to his feet, using the ropes - 8โฆ - Albertoโs now on his feet as the count reaches 9 and he walks over to Santino, kicking him in the head to keep him down.
Marella still hasnโt moved since hitting the Milan Miracle. Alberto now grabs hold of Santinoโs arm and applies the cross arm breaker to him!! Santino starts flopping around, trying to move away so he can break free, but he canโt find a way out!! Alberto wrenches back on the arm as Santino screams out in pain and it looks like heโs about to tap out!!ย
Santino somehow manages to use his good arm to break the hold! He gets to his knees and punches del Rio in the gut, winding the champion! Santino slowly gets to his feet and lands a boot to del Rioโs mid-section, before connecting with a knee-breaker!
With del Rio down, selling the damage to his knee, he then manoeuvres Albertoโs legs around into the figure four leg lock and locks in the hold!! The crowd explodes when Marella locks in the hold, chanting โWOOOOO!โ in a show of respect to Flair.ย
Striker: โMarella paying tribute to the legendary โNature Boy' Ric Flair by locking in his patented submission hold, the figure four leg-lock!โย
Alberto flounders around the ring as he tries to reverse the hold, but he canโt do it! Santino has a tight grip and is barely budging! Heโs wrenching back on del Rioโs knee and leg, increasing the pressure.
Albertoโs screaming in pain. He realises that thereโs no way for him to escape. Del Rio is in too much pain and taps out, as the referee rings the bell!
Winner (and NEW Intercontinental Champion): Santino Marella (Match Time โ 11:56)ย
After breaking the hold, Santino falls to his knees in celebration and the referee hands the title to him! Del Rio slinks out of the ring now as the cage is lifted. Santino gets the referee to strap the title around his waist as he raises his hands in victory!ย
Matthews: โItโs been a long journey for Santino, but itโs all been worth it as he regains the Intercontinental Championship! Without a way to cheat or to get someone to interfere, Alberto simply couldnโt get the job done. Congratulations, Santino!โ
Match 2: Rey Mysterio vs. Wade Barrett in a Hardcore Match

Match 3: Raw's Money in the Bank Match
3 of 8The ladders are set up in the middle of the ring as each superstar enters individually. Kane gets normal heat (he has made only two appearances since his loss at WrestleMania). DiBiase receives a small reaction but he looks determined.
Dark Thunder (Mark Henry and Abraham Washington) enters together for good heat. Kassius Ohno gets the most heat. Drew McIntyre receives a strong reaction. Mason Ryan comes in for a neutral reaction while finally, Justin Gabriel gets a great pop from the crowd.
The bell rings and immediately Ohno teams up with Dark Thunder (as three of Mr. McMahonโs stable members). They immediately team up on Drew McIntyre and Ted DiBiase: Henry hits a scoop slam on DiBiase while Ohno holds McIntyre, allowing Washington to pummel him with rights.
Justin Gabriel heads out of the ring and grabs a ladder. He brings it into the ring but is immediately big-booted by Mason Ryan. Ryan sets up the ladder in the middle of the ring, but doesnโt climb. He looks at it and then goes to fight Kane.
Jerry Lawler: โLook that buffoon Mason Ryan, who wants to go fight the scariest man on Raw, Kane. I gotta tell you JR, the combined IQ of those two men is probably 150, but together they could bench press 800 pounds.โ
JR: โYes, both Kane and Ryan are two physical specimens in their own ways. At such a young age, Ryanโs strength, mixed in with the leadership from Regal, the developing wrestling ability, and the fear he strikes in his opponents, could mean some world championship reigns in his future.โ
McIntyre rolls out of the ring after so many punches. After Gabriel gets up and sees McIntyre getting up outside of the ring, he decides to go for a diving crossbody out of the ring. He hits it on McIntyre and the two take a long time to get up.
Back in the ring, Mark Henry and Abe Washington are trying to take out DiBiase, since Kane and Ryan are still in the middle of their own conflict. Washington lands a spinebuster, followed by a sidewalk slam from Henry. The two of them now guard the center of the ring as Ohno begins to climb the ladder, seeking that briefcase.
He is only two steps from the top and begins extending his arms when Justin Gabriel hops on the top rope (right behind Ohno) and lands a jumping dropkick on Ohnoโs back, causing him to lose balance and fall off.
JR: โWhat a veteran move from Gabriel. He has the same guts that Shelton Benjamin brought to many of these matches.โ
Jerry Lawler: โVeteran or stupid? Heโs jumping around like a jumping bean. Superstars like Gabriel generally go on to have short careers.โ
McIntyre gets back into the match and goes for a running bulldog on Washington, which he hits, but Henry immediately overhead presses him and throws him over the top rope, back outside of the ring.
Kane gets the upper hand in his battle with Ryan, hitting a chokebomb into the turnbuckle. Kane and Henry lock eyes and try to go one-on-one, but that is halted when Washington gets up again and nails a running elbow to Kaneโs temple. Kane looks completely knocked out.
Gabriel gets up and goes to climbing the turnbuckle but this turned out to be a very stupid error on Gabrielโs behalf as Henry and Washington are standing right next to the ladder. Rather than pushing the ladder over, they pick it up and start moving it near the ropes.
Then, using all of their might and then some, they jerk the ladder to the right, causing Gabriel to thrust out of the ring and through the announcerโs table in what turns out to be one of the big spots of the match.
DiBiase finally gets up after a spinebuster and sidewalk slam. He comes from behind and dropkicks Mark Henry, who cannot handle his weight and consequently topples over the top rope. The ladder is now about to fall over.
In a great turn of events, DiBiase catches it and holds it long-ways with the side facing outwards. He drills the ladder into Washingtonโs head, causing him to fall over the top rope and land next to Henry.
Jerry Lawler: โLook, thatโs both of members of Dark Thunder lying on the ground helpless. Youโll never see that again.โ
JR: โTed DiBiase got up with a missile on his back and now he has all of the momentum in winning this match.โ
Ted DiBiase now opens the ladder and begins to climb. Mason Ryan climbs up the ladder as well. The two of them are exchanging rights. Ohno tries to tip the ladder over, but has a little trouble, so he leaves the ring and re-enters with a second ladder. He situates it adjacent to the other ladder and climbs.
All 3 of them are at the top of the ladder. Drew McIntyre runs into the ring and looks to enter the commotion atop the ladder. He climbs on the same ladder that Ohno is on. Ohno hits an elbow to the face of McIntyre, followed by a strong right. McIntyre almost flies off but he catches himself just before falling.
Ryan hits a weak left to Ohnoโs nose, but it causes it to bleed. Ryan then hugs Ohno, and holds him in a spinebuster like move. Ryan then picks Ohnoโs legs up and puts them around his neck, in powerbomb form.
Jerry Lawler: โNo Way! Ryan is going to powerbomb Ohno off the ladder. This is a profound move at Money in the Bank!โ
Mason Ryan yells โMASON BOMB!โ but just before he โbombsโ Ohno off the ladder, McIntyre pushes Ryan causing Mason and Ohno to go down together. Ryan completes the powerbomb but still winds up lying in the middle of the ring.
Itโs now left to McIntyre and DiBiase on top of the ladder, both eyeing that priceless briefcase. DiBiase moves over to the other ladder, as it is now closer to the Money in the Bank briefcase.
McIntyre and DiBiase start trading right after right with McIntyre gaining the upper hand. McIntyre goes for the suplex off the top of the ladder.
He tries lifting DiBiase with all of his might but DiBiase holds on and responds by pushing McIntyreโs face onto the top step of the ladder. McIntyre is very groggy and consequently, is easily pushed off by DiBiase.
DiBiase gets a huge pop from the crowd as he tries to unhook the briefcase. He gets to the top of the ladder and unhooks the briefcase!
JR: โDiBiaseโs done it! Heโs Rawโs Money in the Bank Winner!โ
DiBiase sits on top of the ladder showing off the briefcase in happiness, with the crowd behind him, chanting โDi-Bi-Ase!โ repeatedly.
JR: โWhat a great story! His fatherโs a legend in his own sense and now DiBiase has the opportunity to put World Championship gold in his credentials.โย

Danielson looks like heโs still feeling the effects of the match and is still down on the mat.ย

Punk tells us that itโs time for the champ to go to sleep. Danielson stumbles to his feet and turns around into a huge GTS from Punk! The champ looks like heโs knocked out from that huge knee from Punk!
