Reviews/Thoughts:
Liked the opening segment with HHH, Ziggler, Cody, and Christian.

Battle Royal time for the IC Title. Didn't take long for two Sin Caras to appear. Good crowd reaction throughout. Christian of course costs Sheamus the title.

Natalya and Beth...the Sisters of Destruction. I like it. Natalya with great moves in the ring. Average here.

Henry squashes Khali...nice.

Time for Cena's match with Christian. Nice promo from Cena. Alberto and Punk (with announcer's jacket) on commentary! Christian now billed at 199 pounds...guess the sub-200-pound fad is in full force! Well, that didn't take long...basically all hell broke loose.

U.S. Title match! Good crowd reaction for Ryder. Swagger gets involved and helps Ziggler retain. Air-Boom comes out and take out Swagger. Teddy Long comes out and basically makes a 2-on-3 handicap match because Vickie couldn't find a third person for her team. Mason Ryan comes out to join Ziggler and Swagger! Great choice. Oops! Ryan takes out Swagger and Ziggler! Ryder wins! Ryder wins!

So is David Otunga gonna take on more of a lawyer role now? Might be the best thing for him.

Great main event between Punk and Del Rio. Nice ending with the cell lowering. Alberto with chair shots to get the upper hand. Guess Alberto's not winning on Sunday.
