This was possibly the match of the night. Both men put it all on the line tonight. Cesaro hit a leg sweep. Regal came back with a tiger suplex. Regal hit Cesaro with a piledriver on the outside and then a double underhook powerbomb. Cesaro came back with the Neutralizer. Regal hit another piledriver, but Cesaro got up.

Match 6. Show vs. Sheamus vs. Del Rio vs. Swagger vs. Sandow   World Heavyweight Championship
This is a 20-minute Scramble Match. The first two competitors were Alberto Del Rio and Sheamus. Sheamus landed a nice corner clothesline, but Del Rio came back with a German suplex. Sheamus blocked a punch and hit the Celtic Cross and got the first pin. The former world champ, Big Show, came out first. Del Rio attacked Sheamus in the corner and then locked in the cross arm breaker. Show busted Del Rio open with a face buster. Show knocked Del Rio out with the right hand punch. Jack Swagger came out next. Del Rio locked him in the cross arm breaker, but he broke free. Sheamus superplexed Show from the top to the outside.

Show came back with the Showstopper. He hit another one in the ring, but Sheamus kicked out again. Del Rio is a bloody mess as Swagger hit him with the gutwrench powerbomb. Damien Sandow finally entered and went after Big Show. He then hit Del Rio with a back suplex and almost won the title. There is three minutes left and Sheamus is still the champ. Sandow hit Sheamus with Terminus and got the three count. Show immediately hit Swagger with the Showstopper and won back the title. After all that, Big Show retains.

Main Event. John Cena vs. Randy Orton   WWE Championship
Cena drove Orton shoulder-first into the steel post. Cena took Orton down with a headlock takedown and then hit the AA. Cena got a couple of near falls, but Orton wasn't done yet. Orton landed a side slam, but got a one count. Cena got right back up and hit a second AA to retain the title.

Recap: Punk finally got his revenge on his former partner. The UK are now the tag champs. Darren Young was no part of that match. No sign of Henry or Rollins looking to cash in their title matches.
