Pre-Show:
Todd Grisham is at the Polling Center, and he reveals that R-Truth will be taking on Shelton Benjamin for the US Title. MVP & Festus were the other 2 choices.

Shelton Benjamin (c) vs. R-Truth – United States Championship
Truth comes down rapping. I can not believe that the crowd pops for ‘What’s Up.’ Tie-ups to start, Truth ducks Shelton with the splits, and then hits a leg lariat for 2. Shelton then lays Truth over the top rope, and then gives him a boot to the face. Truth fires up and hits a missile dropkick, and Truth then hits the ropes, but Shelton drops him with the Paydirt for the win.
Winner – Shelton Benjamin

Show starts with a cool intro with a bunch of WWE SuperStars telling us that our vote matters.

Grisham is back at the polling center, that Kane & Mysterio will be in a No Holds Barred match. The other choices were 2 out of 3 Falls and Falls Count Anywhere.

Rey Mysterio vs. Kane – No Holds Barred
They fall to the outside early, and Mysterio seems to be working on Kane’s left knee. Mysterio pulls a STOP sign out from under the ring, and tosses it in the ring, then grabs a Singapore cane, and slaps Kane’s knee with it a few times. Back in the ring, Kane tosses Mysterio to the corner, and he slides under the ropes and right into the ringpost, and Kane follows it up with a baseball slide. The match slows down, as Kane takes the advantage. Mysterio fights out of a submission, and gets on fire. He hits a bulldog, followed by an enzaguri, which lays Kane on the middle rope. Mysterio then goes for a 619, but Kane gets up and hits a huge clothesline. Kane gets a chair, but Mysterio dropkicks it in Kane’s face. Mysterio then grabs the chair, and hits an Arabian Facebuster…minus face, plus chest for only a 1 count. Kane has had enough for this, and he hits a big boot. Kane brings in the top of the steps, and sets it up in the corner. However, Mysterio catches Kane in a Drop Toe Hold, and Kane goes face first to the steps. Kane set up for the 619 again, but Kane gets up and goes for a choke slam, however Mysterio hurracanranna’s out of it, setting up the 619 again, and Mysterio finally hits it. Mysterio then hits the springboard splash for the pin.
Winner – Mysterio

Jericho eventually shoves Batista to the floor, and Jericho follows it with a baseball slide. As Batista tries to get in the ring, Jericho shoves him back, and Batista’s leg gets caught in the ropes. Jericho pounds away on Batista’s exposed knee, until Austin backs him off. Batista gets back in the ring, but Jericho focuses on Batista’s newly injured knee. Jericho locks on the Walls of Jericho.
