Batista started working on Michaels back and then threw the show stopper back in the ring and continued to dominate HBK, focusing on Michaels's back. Michaels was able to regain control and nailed Batista with an elbow from the top rope, but he continued to sell his back. As Batista was getting up, HBK went for sweet chin music but Batista turned it into a clothesline. He went to Batista bomb outside of the ring but Michaels was able to wiggle out and superkick Batista out of the ring onto the stretcher.

Outside of the ring, Batista fell off the stretcher but Michaels put him back on, only for Batista to fight off. Michaels then used the stretcher as a battering ram, nailing Batista in the midsection several times before Batista blocked it and used the stretcher as a battering ram himself, knocking Michaels down. With Batista back in control, he threw Michaels back in the ring.

In the ring, Batista speared Michaels and then hit the Batista bomb. He then dragged Michaels out of the ring and onto the stretcher. Chris Jericho came out and was seemingly encouraging Michaels, which seemed really random. Batista stood back and watched, the referees sent Jericho back to the dressing room and Batista put Michaels back in the ring.

In the ring, Batista grabbed Michaels and told him he doesn't love him and isn't sorry and hit another Batista bomb on Michaels. He then dragged Michaels outside the ring onto the stretcher again and was wheeling the stretcher to the back again when Jericho came out again, blocking Batista. Jericho was encouraging Michaels to get back up while Batista again was just watching. Michaels fell off the stretcher and Batista grabbed the ring steps, brought them over to the stretcher and slammed Michaels on them. He then put Michaels back on the stretcher and wheeled Michaels over the finish line, winning the match. Another good physical match, with Batista put over strong.

Winner: Batista

Last Man Standing Match For The WWE Championship
Triple H (c) vs. Randy Orton
Orton came to the ring first, looking the most ripped I've seen him in awhile, almost at pre-Wellness program levels. Triple H was out next to a decent reaction, but nothing overwhelming.

Triple H dominated early on, throwing Randy Orton into the ring steps outside the ring and then continuing to dominate back in the ring before Orton hit a picture perfect dropkick on The Game. Triple H quickly recovered and threw Orton back out of the ring and continued to work Orton over.
