(5) Intercontinental champion Wade Barrett beat Kofi Kingston in 14:00 to retain the IC Title.

(6) Rey Mysterio beat Cody Rhodes via submission in 12:00. Rey used a Boston Crab to win.

Edge came out and talked about his retirement. Alberto Del Rio interrupted him and said he was the reason for Edge's retirement. Edge presented Alberto's opponent: Kane
He also changed the Match in a Munich Street Fight.

(7) Kane beat Albeto Del Rio in 14:00 in a Munich Street Fight. Kane and Edge celebrated after the match together.

Where was Christian? I wasn't satisfied at all. The ticket cost about 100 dollars. I thought it was a really bad show except the Rey vs. Cody match and the speech from Edge. I had a friend with me who never watched wrestling before and he probably won't come back.

Biggest Pops:

(1) Edge
(2) Rey Mysterio
(3) Kofi Kingston

Most Heat:

(1) Wade Barrett
(2) Alberto Del Rio
(3) Cody Rhodes
