The end of the match saw Swagger charge at Christian in the corner, but Christian moved out of the way and hit the killswitch to get the three count and win the ECW Championship!

Chris Jericho vs. Ricky Steamboat

Jim Ross joins Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler for commentary.

Steamboat looks in good shape, better than he looked at WM 25. Steamboat gets the early advantage and takes charge with chops and his armdrags. Fans chanting 'You still got it' at Steamboat, and a small 'Y2J' chant breaks out.

At one point Jericho throws Steamboat out of the ring, but Steamboat skins the cat and gets back in but Jericho clotheslines him back out of the ring. Back in the ring, Jericho slaps Steamboat and berates him, telling him he's washed up and finished.

Steamboat regains the advantage hitting Jericho with a belly to back suplex from the top turnbuckle. Steamboat goes back to work with chops and kicks and then a scoop slam for a two count.

Jericho turns it around and hits a running bulldog. He then went for a lionsault but Steamboat caught him and got Jericho on his shoulders and Jericho rolled him into the Walls. Steamboat was able to get out and put on a sloppy figure four. Jericho gets out and Steamboat hits a high crossbody from the top and gets a two count. Steamboat goes back to the top, but Jericho hits Steamboat with the codebreaker as Steamboat's coming off but Steamboat puts his foot on the rope at two. Jericho goes for a slam, but Steamboat rolls it into a small package ala his win over Randy Savage at WrestleMania 3. Jericho kicks out and gets the Walls in the center of the ring and Steamboat taps.

Winner via submission: Chris Jericho

After the match, the fans give Steamboat a good ovation.

Beth Phoenix and Rosa Mendez approach Santino Marella in the back. Phoenix asks Santino why's he doing this, and Marella says that Phoenix is jealous of Santina. Marella asks Phoenix to kiss Khali, Phoenix responds by saying she won't, and won't ever kiss him either.

Kane vs. CM Punk

Jim Ross continues to announce with Jerry Lawler and Michael Cole, so it looks like they'll be the announce them for the entire night.

CM Punk gets the early advantage. He knocks Kane outside of the ring and hits a flying clothesline from the apron on Kane outside the ring. Back in the ring, Kane gains the advantage by throwing Punk into the ring post. He proceeds to work Punk over with the body scissors.

At one point Kane went for a chokeslam, but Punk was able to reverse it into an arm DDT. At another point, Punk caught Kane on the top rope and was going for the GTS, but Kane wiggled out. Punk then hit a running bulldog for a 2 count. He came back from the top, but Kane hit Punk in the throat and got a 2 count.

Kane signaled for a chokeslam but Punk worked Kane over with a bunch of kicks. Kane then caught Punk mid-kick and hit him with a big chokeslam to get the three count.

Winner via pinfall: Kane

A video package is shown for the Hardy vs. Hardy "I Quit" match.

"I Quit" Match
Jeff Hardy vs. Matt Hardy

Jeff Hardy comes to the ring first without face paint. The outcome of this match should tell a lot about whether WWE expects Jeff to renew his contract or not.

Jeff takes control early and gets Matt outside the ring and hits a plancha. He does a running splash onto Matt against the ring barrier. Jeff get Matt back in the ring and delivers a mule kick. Jeff continues to work Matt over.

Matt gains the advantage and a light 'We Want Tables' chant breaks out. Matt gets Jeff in the figure four in the middle of the ring but Jeff refuses to quit. Matt breaks the hold and continues to work Jeff's leg over. He then gets Jeff back in the figure four but Jeff still refuses to quit and turns it over.

Jeff is finally able to hit the whisper in the wind to regain the advantage. Jeff gets Matt in a texas clover leaf and Matt taps, but the ref won't stop it because he didn't say "I Quit". When the ref asks Matt if he wants to quit, Matt refuses. Jeff hits a twist of fate and nailed a swanton. Matt refuses to quit, and then Jeff hits Matt with a second swanton.

Jeff goes outside the ring and grabs a table and brings it into the ring. Before he can use it, they are back outside the ring and Jeff hits Matt with a twist of fate and throws Matt back in. Jeff sets Matt up on the table and goes back under the ring and grabs duct tape and a rope! He duct tapes Matt's feet togehter on the table, and then duct tapes Matt's wrists together. He then ties Matt up to the table with the rope! Definitely unique . . .

Jeff goes back under the ring and grabs a ladder and brings it in. Jeff climbs to the top and Matt starts apologizing and saying that he loves Jeff. Matt keeps saying he loves Jeff as Jeff listens from the top of the ladder. Matt says their mom wouldn't want this in heaven and neither would their dad, who is sick at home. Before Jeff can come off the ladder, Matt quit. Kinda anticlimactic. Jeff comes off and splashes Matt through the table anyway.

Winner: Jeff Hardy

Todd Grisham interviews Randy Orton backstage. Orton has a message for Batista. He says that it's amazing that even after all these years, it's still all about Triple H. Basically Orton wants Batista to turn on Triple H.

"Khali's Kiss Cam" with Santina

Santina comes out and says that he/she's not exactly who she says she is. For consistency, I'll refer to Santina as she/her in this recap. She says that she's in love with another man and because of her feelings for him, she can't kiss Khali. Khali asks who it is and Santina replies that it's J.R.! She says she's in love with J.R. It has been awhile since they've humiliated J.R.

Ranjin Singh says they understand and Santina no longer has to kiss Khali provided that Santina proves her love by kissing J.R. J.R. says that isn't going to happen, he can assure you that. Michael Cole says to go ahead, Mr. BBQ Man and J.R. asks Cole who fed him that line. J.R. looks visibly annoyed.

Finally, Beth Phoenix comes to the ring and challenges Santina for her Ms. WrestleMania crown. Singh objects and asks Phoenix how she can interrupt this lovely segment. Phoenix asks Khali how he can be so dumb to believe that Santina is not Santino, and Khali responds with a chop and pushes her over. Santina asks for the bell to be rung, and pins Phoenix. After the 'match', Khali grabs Santina by her top and it rips off, and Santina runs to the back with her hands over her nips. The less said about this segment, the better.

WWE Championship – Six Man Tag Team Match
Triple H (c), Batista & Shane McMahon vs. Legacy (Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase).

The faces come to the ring first with Shane entering first, then Batista and finally Triple H. Legacy all come to the ring together. As soon as they get in the ring, all six start brawling even before the bell rings. Triple H takes Orton to the back and then comes back without Orton. The bell just rung, and it's 3 on 2 right now.

HHH, Batista and Shane McMahon dominate early and Ross questions what kind of man Orton is for abandoning his troops. Crowd is dead in this match in the early going. The faces continue to dominate Rhodes and Dibiase. Batista at one point get Dibiase in a standing vertical suplex and kept him hanging for a good 30 seconds.

Finally as Batista fought with Dibiase outside of the ring, Randy Orton ran back in and attacked Batista, ramming him head first into the ring post. Orton threw Batista back into the ring, tagged in and took control.

Legacy continued to work Batista over for several minutes before Shane McMahon finally tagged in. Shane was on first, and his Rhodes with an elbow drop from the top but Orton puled McMahon out of the ring as he went for a pin. Orton proceeded to throw Shane into the ring barrier. The crowd is still quiet.

Legacy continues to beat on Shane, obviously building to the hot tag to HHH. Finally Shane makes the hot tag to HHH who comes in and cleans house. After a few minutes, it's just HHH and Orton in the ring. Outside the ring, Rhodes nails McMahon with a chair and puts him out. Batista grabs Rhodes's chair, and Triple H pulls it out of Batista's hand and Orton sneaks up behind and nails an RKO, but only gets a 2 count. The timekeeper accidentally rang the bell. Orton then hit the punt and pinned HHH!

Winner and NEW WWE Champion: Randy Orton
