World Title:
(Fatal Fourway)
-The Undertaker (c) vs. Rey Mysterio vs. CM Punk vs. Batista

Match begins with Batista chasing Punk out of the ring. He chases him back in the ring and Taker catches him coming in with a clothesline. Rey is in now and is unloading on Undertaker. Taker quickly responds with a big boot to calm him down. Batista and Rey argue over who to try a pin attempt on Taker. Rey finally goes to pin him but Taker grabs him by the throat from his back. Batista hits the Batista-Bomb on Taker and tries a pin but Rey interferes, pulling Batista off so he can try the pin himself. Taker kicks out and Batista-Rey argue over what just happened. Batista clears Punk from the ring. Rey dives onto Batista but Batista catches him and launches him at Rey. This allows Taker to hit Batista with the Tombstone for the pinfall victory.

Winner and STILL World champion: The Undertaker

After The Match: Batista & Mysterio Duke It Out

After the match, Josh Matthews comes in the ring to interview Batista and Mysterio. He asks how it felt to be so close to becoming new champion. Rey tries hugging Batista. Batista gets mad and says he's sick of Mysterio stabbing him in the back. Rey tries calming him down but Batista clotheslines him down. Batista grabs Rey by the throat as Rey begs Batista to stop. Batista flings him into the guard-rail. Batista goes to leave but kicks Mysterio one more time for good measure.

Team RAW vs. Team SmackDown
-D-X, Mark Henry, Big Show, Kofi Kingston, Jack Swagger & Cody Rhodes vs. Chris Jericho, Kane, Matt Hardy, Finlay, R-Truth & The Hart Dynasty

The SmackDown team has blue SD! shirts on. Team RAW has red RAW shirts on. Well, D-X has their own D-X shirts on. Swagger's shirt is ripped off early into the match, so he's the only "skin" to the rest of the "shirts." Now that the attire recap is out of the way, back to the match! Very good match. The finish came when Big Show screwed over his teammates on RAW and hit the knockout punch on Triple H. This allows Jericho to pick up the pin on Kingston for the victory.

Winners: Team SmackDown

WWE Title:
(Iron Man Match)
-Randy Orton (c) vs. John Cena

Early in the match, Cena slaps the STF on Orton. Orton taps out almost immediately, putting Cena up one fall to none. After the restart, we get a rest spot already (about five minutes into the match). Not a good sign! Cena hits a leg drop off the top rope. He does his "you can't see me" 5-Knuckle Shuffle spot. Before he can drop the punch, Orton pops up and hits an RKO out of nowhere for a clean pinfall. Things are even now with each man holding a fall over the other. So e're all tied up. On the floor, an announce table is cleared off and Orton blasts Cena with one of the announcer's monitors. Orton slams a microphone into Cena's head next. Cena is bleeding now. A trainer tries looking at Cena's cut but Cena pushes him aside and bull-charges Orton. Orton cuts him off in his tracks and is again in control of the offense. We have a double-pin spot for the next fall, so each man gains a point. It's 2 to 2 now. Soon thereafter, Cena hits the Attitude Adjustment off the top for a pinfall and another point. The score is 3-2 Cena now. Legacy runs down and is beating down Cena now. They pull Orton across Cena's body and Orton gets the pinfall, tieing things up again. The score is now 3 to 3. Kofi Kingston comes down with a chair to chase Legacy to the back. Orton slams Cena into some equiptment and we get a pyro explosion spot. Orton throws Cena into more props and we get more explosion pyro stuff. Orton pins Cena and regains the upper hand now, with the score being 4 for Orton and 3 for Cena. Still a while to go in this Iron Man match though. A few falls later, the score is now tied again at 5 and 5. Only about ten minutes left in this Iron Man match, so our finish is coming soon. Orton gets mad at a situation and knocks out the ref. Time is almost up in the Iron Man time limit. Cena is down and Orton is waiting for him to get up to land the punt finisher. Cena avoids it and slaps on the STF. Orton eventually taps, giving Cena the edge in the score, 6 to 5. Time expires and we have a new WWE champion.

Winner and NEW WWE champion: John Cena

Why The Clocked Was Stopped During Cena-Orton Iron Man Match

Source: PWInsider.com

- During last night's iron man match, John Cena was busted open after being hit by a microphone - this was not apparently a planned spot.

Vince McMahon ordered Cena to be cleaned up immediately after seeing the spot, and WWE's John Laurinaitis along with trainers rushed to ringside to clean him up. With their first attempt, Cena wasn't aware what they intended to do so played babyface and mounted offence against Randy Orton. The cut was finally glued shoot and cleaned up after the next fall.

Cena and Orton were scheduled to work among the crowd and WWE wanted to ensure there was no health issue with a bloody wrestler among fans. If it were to have happened, the issue would have been taken seriously by the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission and likely used as more ammuniton against Linda McMahon's senate campaign.

As the blood was unplanned, WWE decided to stop the clock during the bout as it wasn't known how long the clean up operation on Cena would take.
