Rating: 1/4 * (How do I rate this!? I was going to rate it higher since I thought Lashley had won the title but when Vince said you had to beat him to win the title I lowered it abit. The match lasted a little over a minute which is why the low rating if anyone is wondering.)

Winners: The Hardys

Rating: ** 3/4 (This was the exact same from their Backlash bout. Same result too. I would have prefered a Smackdown tag title defense like London/Kendrick vs. Deuce and Domino instead though since we just saw this match three weeks ago.)

Rating: ** (Average main event but not as terrible as what I thought it was going to be. Khali held his own and Cena brought him to a passable match but Khali shouldn't be in another PPV main event ever again!)

After the match John Cena poses with HIS WWE Championship to close the show!

OVERALL: Tonight's show in my opinion was a real disapointment! Only one match with *** (Punk/Burke), and 5 ** and up ratings, and two matches got less than a * because they didn't last very long which in my opinion should have happened on free TV not a PPV where you have to pay $40. I don't really like how their having every PPV with Raw, Smackdown, and ECW wrestlers now since we can't see everyone. Tonight we missed out on Finlay, London/Kendrick, Kane, Regal/Taylor, Deuce/Domino, and Cruiserweights which are all from the Smackdown brand and this was a Smackdown PPV originally but Smackdown only got 2 matches with Raw getting 4. If anyone missed this PPV don't feel sorry you did cause it wasn't very good. Just Ok. Overall Grade: 5/10
