Orton beat Kane with his finisher, the "RKO", following a protracted brawl around the arena - taking advantage of the Falls Count Anywhere stipulation - where neither competitor could seem to gain an advantage.

Daniel Bryan and Sheamus fought a long, bitter battle, where Bryan willingly and deliberately broke the rules, going down one DQ in order to gain an immediate submission on his much larger adversary. It was all for naught, though, as Sheamus sniped Bryan with a bicycle kick, rudely interrupting the previous champion's attempt to conduct a "Yes, yes, yes!" chant.
Punk defeated Jericho in a surprisingly polite street fight - both men wore jeans instead of ring gear, but worked a match more concerned with wrestling than chairfighting. Jericho's battleplan was muddled by a desire to humiliate Punk, who for his part concentrated on hitting the challenger as hard in the head as he could. Following the dispatch of his tormentor Punk celebrated with his family.

The main event of the evening featured Brock Lesnar applying mixed martial arts in attempt to overcome Cena's tenacity. He came very close by forcing his opponent to bleed right at the start of the match but medical officials allowed the match to proceed. After weathering a tremendous storm of violence, the Marine suckered the previous UFC top dog in with a chain-wrapped right hook and quickly hit a slam off his shoulders to mercifully end the match. In victory, though, Cena looked far weaker than his rival, going as far as to address the audience to admit that he expected to take time off after the fight.
