The Miz vs. Rey Mysterio
Cole confirms that Miz is in the Royal Rumble match. Miz grabs a side headlock and sends Mysterio down with a shoulderblock. Following a leapfrog Mysterio gets a dropkick. Miz tries a corner charge but runs into the boot of Mysterio. Miz catches Mysterio out of the corner and slams him into the turnbuckle. That is followed up by a running knee to the chin of Mysterio picking up two. Miz grabs a double arm submission which Mysterio fights out of. Miz quickly regains control by driving Mysterio's face to the mat picking up a two count. Miz tries a backdrop but gets kicked in the face instead. That allows Mysterio to hit the springboard seated senton for a two count. Mysterio hits a drop toehold to set up a 619 but that misses. Rey gets backdropped over the top, but lands on the apron. Rey tries for a springboard sunset flip but Miz counters into his own pin combo for two. Rey counters out of a backslide attempt with an armdrag. That sets up a hurracanrana into the ropes. 619 and springboard splash finishes for Rey. Any doubt who WWE views as the future star of Miz and Morrison after that? Mike Knox attacks Mysterio after the bell which is becoming a Raw tradition. Mysterio ends up fighting him off this time by fighting him off and sending him back to the floor with a hurracanrana.
Winner: Rey Mysterio (Pinfall-Springboard Splash *1/2)

-Candice Michelle is talking about Vince coming back. CM Punk is shown as the guy she is talking to, but he's paying no attention as he's focused on his IC Title match, which is next.

-A video hyping Vince's return is shown. Lots of clips of announcer Vince are shown, most of this is recycled from the McMahon DVD.

WWE Intercontinental Championship Match/DQ Title Change Rule Waived: CM Punk vs. William Regal (c) (w. Layla)
Stephanie was very clear about Regal being Disqualified costing him the title. She said nothing about count outs. Next week Raw is in Punk's hometown. Do the math. Regal is back to wearing that absurd top on his wrestling gear. Punk takes Regal down with a shoulderblock. Punk ducks a European uppercut into a backslide, but Regal escapes even a one count. Punk grabs a side headlock, but Regal powers out sending Punk into the buckle. Punk gets a headlock takedown and gets a one count. Regal is sent into the buckle and hits a bulldog. Cole says "Jericho could be closing in on the Championship." Say Steph, I think you fired the wrong guy. Punk follows Regal in the corner but gets taken down to the 2nd turnbuckle. Regal pounds away in the corner but when coming in Regal gets a shot the lower abdominal. The ref thinks thats a low blow and DQ's Punk. Well that was less predictible, and a hell of a lot more stupid than just doing the count out. Guys punch and kick all day with nothing but warnings but a borderline low blow that was unintentional is a DQ? Okay then.
Winner: STILL WWE Intercontinental Champion: William Regal (Disqualification-Low Blow *)
