-From Chicago, IL
-Match 1: Extreme Rules Match for the WWE Tag Team Championship: John Morrison & The Miz [c] VS Tommy Dreamer & Colin Delaney
-Challengers suck up to Chicago as Dreamer wears a Cubs jersey, and they have a White Sox jersey among their plunder. Champs try to double-team Dreamer, but end up getting wiped out on the floor. Miscommunication allows Dreamer to slide a Kendo stick to Delaney, and he tees off on the champions. Champions turn the tide as Morrison nails Delaney with the Kendo stick, and Miz hits Dreamer with a trash can lid. Dreamer blocks a double team, and slams Miz onto Morrison with the trash can lid in between.
Challengers hit the "Whazzup" headbut with Delaney wearing a Chicago Bears' football helmet. Both champions get tied to the Tree of Woe, and Dreamer dropkicks a trash can into them. A Tower of Doom spot leaves all four down, and Delaney covers Morrison for two. Delaney goes for a Sliced Bread #2 or an Acid Drop, but Morrison pushes him to the floor, then follows up with a garbage can assisted moonsault off the apron.
Dreamer tries to give Miz a Death Valley Driver through a table, but ends up taking a double team spinebuster through the table, and the champs retain. Pretty good match, possibly the best since I've started watching these shows.
-ECW GM Armando Estrada announces that at WrestleMania XXIV, there will be a 24 man battle royale between superstars from all three brands, with the winner facing Chavo Guerrero for the ECW title at WrestleMania. Estrada brings out one of the participants; The Great Khali.
-Match 2: The Great Khali VS Stevie Richards
-Say good-bye to your push Stevie. Stevie throws some weak punches, but immediately gets caught with the Tree Slam and pinned. Thankfully short.
-Mike Knox attacks Richards afterwards, laying him out with the Knox Out.
-LATER TONIGHT: CM Punk VS Big Daddy V in a Money in the Bank Qualifier in the main event.
-Match 3: Deuce (w/Domino & Cherry) VS Kofi Kingston
-Short squash. Deuce gets some jobber offense, Kofi hits his usual, and finishes with Trouble in Paradise out of nowhere.
-LAST NIGHT ON RAW: Tempers flare at the Big Show/Floyd Mayweather weigh-in.
-Leena Yada interviews hometown boy CM Punk about his match tonight. He says nothing of note.
-Match 4: Festus VS Elijah Burke
-BISCUITS AND GRAVAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY! Festus charges right into the 4UP punch, then the ringpost, allowing Burke to start working on his arm. Festus fights back with a bicycle kick, sit-down splash, and modified F-5 for the win. Not much here, and didn't seem to have a point to it.
-Shelton Benjamin comes out for guest commentary.
-Match 5: Money in the Bank Qualifier: Big Daddy V (w/Matt Striker) VS CM Punk
-Punk tries kicking at V, but ends up running into a Black Hole Slam. V s l o w l y works Punk over, but misses a charge. Punk hits a couple running knees, but stupidly goes for the GTS. V falls on Punk, but gets caught when he goes out after him. Punk snaps V's neck on the top rope, and wins by count out. Matt Striker tries to get a piece, but takes a GTS for his troubles. Crap main event that did nothing for Punk.
-FINAL THOUGHTS: The opener was good, then it was downhill from there.
