1. Rey Mysterio defeated MVP by countout
This was just okay and the finish really didn't help it out. This did nothing for either guy and it's part of the reason that MVP is no longer with the company.
Rating: 2.5 (out of 5)
2. Big Daddy V + Mark Henry defeated Kane + CM Punk by pinfall
This was surprisingly entertaining, considering three of the four guys aren't very good. I'm not sure that the right team went over, but it really didn't end up having any effect on the faces long term.
Rating: 2.25
3. Shawn Michaels defeated Mr. Kennedy by pinfall
This was on it's way to being a 4+ match, but then it ended pretty abruptly. This was some of Mr. Kennedy's finest work, but that's no surprise since he was in the ring with the greatest performer of all time.
Rating: 3.5
4. Jeff Hardy defeated Triple H by pinfall
This was a good match, even if it was a tad slower than one would expect. Looking back on it, I appreciate it more, knowing that this was a different match than they would go on to have in 2008 at a couple of pay-per-views.
Rating: 3.5
5. Finlay defeated Great Khali by pinfall
It's always good to see Finlay get a victory, even if the match had no shot of being anything great.
Rating: 1
6. Chris Jericho defeated Randy Orton by disqualification
***Match Of The Night***
This was Jericho's first big match since returning and he looked very sharp. This was the peak for Orton in my opinion and the two of them had good chemistry. The finish was absolutely ridiculous and led to a sub-par comeback for JBL.
Rating: 3.75
7. Beth Phoenix defeated Mickie James by pinfall
This was solid Divas action, even if it was much too short. This probably should have gone on earlier in the card.
Rating: 1.75
8. Edge defeated Batista and Undertaker by pinfall to win the World Heavyweight Championship
This was a very entertaining match, but a little overbooked. Even the announcers didn't quite understand what was going on and that hurt the match a little overall. Still, Edge looked good and the match was a worthy main event.
Rating: 3.5
This is a really good show, even if it is missing that one classic match on the card. Nothing is bad on the show and it really flows well. I think if they could have given a few more minutes to the Michaels/Kennedy match and come up with a better ending for the Jericho/Orton match, you'd have one of the best non-big four shows ever.
Overall Rating: 84%
