SINGLES MATCH (TURNED INTO CAGE MATCH)
Triple H defeated Cody Rhodes (w/Randy Orton & Ted DiBiase): Just as the match was set to begin, Randy Orton & Ted DiBiase walked out to the stage to keep an eye on the match. Whenever Rhodes was in danger, they walked a little bit closer to the ring. That is, until Triple H found a sledge-hammer under the ring. Orton & DiBiase didn’t want to get into the ring while HHH had the weapon in his hands. Suddenly a steel cage was lowered onto the ring, thus allowing HHH to wrestle Cody Rhodes without interference from Orton & DiBiase. HHH dropped the weapon and the match officially started. HHH proceeded to pound on Rhodes, as Orton and DiBiase circled the cage trying to find a way in.

Cena sent for the five-knuckle shuffle, but Vickie threw herself on top of Edge. Cena applied the STF on Edge, but Vickie put a weap STF onto Cena. The Big Show came down and helped Edge dismantle John Cena. They tied him in the ropes and Edge speared him! Vickie slapped Cena, as Big Show and Edge took turns taking shots at him until Cena was unconcious. Suddenly Edge decked the Big Show and raised his arms above his head to celebrate!
