Daniel Bryan vs. Sheamus for the U.S. title with lumberjacks was a no-contest. Teddy Long turned the match into a battle royal, which was won by The Great Khali.

WrestleMania 27 is now underway. Keri Wilson opens by singing "America The Beautiful" before the opening video package is shown.

A WrestleMania video package is shown introducing The Rock. The Rock's music hits and we're off as The Rock makes his way to the ring!

The Rock looks a little overwhelmed before he begins his promo. He opens by saying "Finally the Rock has come back to Atlanta," and "Finally the Rock has come back to WrestleMania." He promises that tonight will be the most electrifying WrestleMania of all time. He makes a crack at Cena, saying he "trying to figure out which rainbow fruity pebbles shirt to wear tonight." A "Fruity Pebbles" chant breaks out. The Rock continues to hype tonight's show and has the crowd get on their feet and finish his catchphrase, "if you smell what the Rock is cooking."

The WrestleMania opening video package is shown with highlights from past WrestleMania's before showing the stars competing tonight. The pyro hits and we're off... again! We open with the World Heavyweight Championship match.

World Heavyweight Championship
Edge (c) vs. Alberto Del Rio

Brodus Clay is in Del Rio's corner. Christian's music hits and he will be in Edge's corner tonight and he makes his way to ringside. Edge's music hits and he comes out to a huge pop.

It was noted that this is the first time that WrestleMania has opened with a World title match.

Edge takes the early advantage with a back body drop, but it's short lived after Del Rio hits Edge with a kick.

Late in the match, Edge went for a spear but missed and Clay pulled Edge into the corner. Del Rio locked the arm-bar submission in the center of the ring, but Edge was able to break out and roll Del Rio up for the cover, but only got two. Edge locked in a submission of his own. Clay got on the apron but Christian DDT'd him to the outside. Del Rio was able to get out of the submission, but was hit by a spear and Edge got the pin. Decent opener, but with the World title so devalued, it might be time for WWE to unify the WWE and World championships.

Edge defeated Alberto Del Rio via pinfall to retain the World Heavyweight Championship.

After the match, Edge headed up the ramp and stopped at Del Rio's limo. Edge put the World title belt on the hood and went to kick the limo, stopped and then ended up kicking away at the limo, climbing to the top and dropping an elbow. Christian emerged with a lead pipe and gave Edge a crowbar, and Edge proceeded to smash up with limo. Edge finished by holding up the belt on top of the limo. Edge heads to the back and Del Rio went to the limo and wept.

Mysterio started off fast and hit a flying hurricarana from the top rope. Rhodes quickly turned the tide and worked Mysterio over with kicks and punches.

Rhodes continued to dominate the match. At one point, Rhodes got Mysterio up on the top rope and held him up in a suplex on the top for awhile before finally landing the superplex. Mysterio managed to turn the tide for a little bit, only for Rhodes to regain control of the match.

Late in the match, Rhodes pulled up Mysterio's tights to expose Mysterio's knee brace. Rhodes took off the knee brace, and was met with a moonsault from the top rope. Mysterio then loosened Rhodes mask and it fell off. Mysterio hit a 619 on Rhodes' exposed face. He went for the splash from the top rope, but Rhodes got his knees up and Mysterio stopped short.

Tatsu sang "We will rock you" while Masters flexed his pecks. Hornswoggle is next and squealed for a bit, and Snoop said they had a winner. Long informed Snood that Hornswoggle couldn't speak and they said that they need to get out of there. Some hip-hop music and Hornswoggle started rapping and the Bellas came out and started dancing.

The 8-man tag is up next, so it looks like they moved this match up.

Rock explained, "It couldn't be anyone else!" Cue Steve Austin. They had a brief staredown, said it was good to see each other and shook hands. End of segment.

CM Punk vs. Randy Orton

Punk sent the opening moments of the match working over Orton's injured leg. Punk went for the GTS, Orton was able to squirm out but was met with a kick to the face.

I'm not sure if it's a mic issue, but the crowd has been pretty quiet since the opening match.

Orton was able to catch Punk on the top rope and hit a top rope superplex to change the tide of the match. It was short-lived, as Punk gained control again and applied a figure four on the corner post.

Punk continued to work over the injured knee. Orton managed to break free and hit Punk with several clothelines and a power slam. He started teeing off on Punk's head and hit a side suplex for a two count.

Orton hit Punk with a DDT on the ropes. He started stomping the mat and signaled for the punt. Orton went for the punt, but his knee gave out on him. Punk started smiling and got back to his feet. As Punk started walking over, Orton managed to get Punk ready for the RKO, but Punk slid out.

Punk then climbed to the top rope and came flying at Orton, who transitioned the move into an RKO, flooring Punk and allowing Orton to get the pin. Good match, but lacked crowd heat until the end.

Randy Orton defeated CM Punk via pinfall.

The Rock is backstage with Gene Okerlund and says it might get ugly because he heard that John Cena's #1 fan is there to confront him. Okerlund tells him that he's already here. Rock turns around and it's Pee Wee Herman. Rock asks Pee Wee if he wants to be on the Fruit Loop troop or Team Bring It. Okerlund comes out in Cena gear and Pee Wee laughs. Pee Wee says he wants to be on "Team Bring It," says "if you smell what Pee Wee is cookin'," and Rock welcomes him to Team Bring It.

Jack Swagger's hit and he makes his way to the ring.

"Stone Cold's" music hits and he comes out in a mini-jeep and almost hits Swagger on the way down. He then chases Cole, and Cole seeks shelter in his glass shield. Jerry Lawler's music hits and we're off.

Jerry Lawler vs. Michael Cole

Lawler is in the ring while Cole is acting the fool in his glass pod, doing jumping jacks and stretches. Lawler went out of the ring, Swagger tried to ambush him but Lawler caught him, beat him up a bit and threw him into the ringside barrier. Lawler then went over to Cole's glass pod, and Cole was begging for forgiveness and extended his hand through a hole in the class. Lawler grabbed Cole's hand and started ramming Cole's head into the glass. Lawler then went inside the pod and beat on Cole while throwing him into the glass.

Lawler got Cole out of the pod and threw him into the "GM" podium. Lawler threw Cole in the ring and Austin turned his attention to Cole. While this was happening, Swagger nailed Lawler with a cheap shot outside of the ring. Lawler slowly got up to his feet and Cole hit King with a baseball slide. Cole got Austin's attention, and Swagger applied the ankle lock on Lawler for several seconds.

Lawler got in the ring and Cole started working over Lawler's leg. He applied some weak looking offense while Swagger looked on from ringside. Cole went for Swagger's splash off of the ropes, but hesitated for awhile and then went to the first turnbuckle and dropped a terrible looking splash for a two count. I'm having flashbacks of Bret Hart – Vince McMahon from last year's 'Mania right now.

Cole put Lawler in an ankle lock while Lawler winced in pain. Lawler kicked Cole off and then started stomping into Cole in the corner. Swagger threw in a towel. Austin wiped his head with the towel and threw it at Swagger. Swagger got in the ring and started complaining. Austin planted Swagger with a stunner and sent him outside of the ring.

Finally Austin called for the bell.

After the match, Swagger carried Cole to the back. Austin's music hit and he grabbed some beers and celebrated with Austin. Booker T came in the ring, saying he wanted in on the celebration. Booker T then motioned for the spinaroonie, hit it and got a high five from Austin. Austin gave Booker a beer, toasted him and then hit Booker T with a stunner. Austin called for more beers and he and Lawler celebrated some more.

The RAW GM chimes in and Josh Matthews takes the podium. The GM says that the referee got physically involved with the match, and reversed the decision, awarding the bout to Michael Cole via DQ. Lawler approached Matthews, who said he was just reading the email. The crowd starting chanting "bullsh-t." Lawler asked Matthews to read it again, which Matthews did. Lawler grabbed Matthews and threw him into the ring, where he was met with a stunner of his own.

Michael Cole defeated Jerry Lawler via disqualification.

Austin's music hit again and he rode off in his jeep. Lawler took his seat next to Jim Ross as they went to a recap of the weekend.

It looks like it will be Jerry Lawler and JR doing commentary for the rest of the night, which is fine by me. Triple H vs. The Undertaker is up next.

Metallica's "For whom the bell tolls" starts playing. After a bit, the song changes to Triple H's theme and he makes his way to the ring. The lights go out.

Undertaker comes out to his new Johnny Cash theme and he heads to the ring amidst a sea of fog.

Undertaker surprises Triple H with a chokeslam and gets a two count. Taker hits a headbutt and a kick to the gut and goes for the Last Ride, but HHH charges Taker into the corner. Duelng chants for "Undertaker" and "HHH", with the Taker chants being slightly louder. Triple H started punching Undertaker in the corner, but Taker turned it into a Last Ride. HHH wiggled out and after a series of reversals, hit a spine buster.

Triple H went outside of the ring and grabbed a steel chair. He brought it into the ring, but Taker put his boot up and the chair hit HHH in the head.

A choir is on the stage. They do a prayer (I'm not kidding) as they show clips of Cena growing up. Pretty dramatic stuff, a very Hollywood-ish styled promo and video.

The crowd booed once they were done and Cena's hit and he made his way to the ring with his new bright red shirt.
