Sarnia, Ont., Canada
Report by Mike Mroz, PWTorch correspondent
(1) Tyson Kidd beat Dolph Ziggler. The crowd went nuts for the native Canadian, Kidd. Ziggler went for a Sharpshooter, but Kidd reversed into a pin for the win. Once Kidd left the ring, Ziggler reminded the crowd htat he is Mr. Money in the Bank.
Alberto Del Rio cut a promo on the Titantron about how he doesn't want to be here and doesn't care what you think.
(2) WWE tag champion Kofi Kingston beat Ted DiBiase.
Booker T appeared on the Tron to tell the fans that they can tweet which match they want to see for Alberto Del Rio vs. Sheamus. The choice was Street Fight or 2/3 Falls.
(3) Natalya beat Rosa Mendes via submission. Rosa came out speaking Spanish to the crowd and once the crowd had enough, Canada's own Natalya came out to a big reaction. The match went back and forth with "Canada" chants throughout. At one point, Rosa went along with it to get Natalya to stop the beat down. Natalya then went for a handshake and turned it into a Sharpshooter. The crowd went nuts and Rosa tapped out.
A replay aired of the C.M. Punk-John Cena feud. Even at house shows, they have replays.
(4) WWE tag champions Daniel Bryan & Kane beat Prime Time Players to retain the WWE Tag Titles. PTPers initially won the titles. But, Bryan & Kane were re-awarded the titles. Before the false finish, Kane and Bryan came out and argued about who is the Tag Champions, which led to them arguing over who should start. A lot of "Yes!" and "Goat face" chants throughout the match. O'Neil also talked smack to the fans ringside, telling them he will be the new the Tag Champions. For the actual finish, Kane hit a chokeslam on Titus and Daniel applied the No! Lock on D-Young, who tapped. This turned into a Hug It Out moment, which led to both grabbing the titles and yelling, "I'm the tag team champions." Kane then chased Bryan back through the entrance ramp.
[ 15-minute intermission. The Twitter vote was for a Street Fight in the Sheamus-Del Rio main event. ]
Wade Barrett cut a promo that he was injured and now he's back and better than ever to bring back wins for his Barrage. Yoshi Tatsu then came out to face Barrett.
(5) Wade Barrett beat Yoshi Tatsu. A surprisingly longer match than you would think. Eventually, Wade hit Yoshi with his finisher and got the win.
(6) Ryback vs. Jinder Mahal went to a Draw. This match did not last long because outside the ring, Jinder hit Ryback, who somehow got his head cut open. I couldn't really see what exactly happened, but you could see the blood. Someone came out and handed the ref gloves and more people came out to assist. While this was happening, Ryback said he loves blood and licked his hand after wiping his face. They gave him medical attention and Jiunder cut a promo during it to drag on the match and hopefully continue. However, the match ended in a draw due to doctor's order. Fans booed and Ryback was pretty angry. He shouted, "Feed me more," and stomped off.
Alberto Del Rio came out and said he hates Canada from the bottom of his heart. He said he was going to win the Heavyweight Title, and if he heard "Brogue Kick" one more time, he'd leave. On his way out, Sheamus came out and told him the fans voted for a Street Fight. He also mentioned that Del Rio is the first person to be wearing an adult diaper and a scarf at the same time. This led to a chant of "He wears diapers" throughout the match.
(7) World Hvt. champion Sheamus beat Alberto Del Rio to retain the World Title. Ricardo helped in the match as ADR's aide and handed him a kendo stick. The match continued to go back and forth. This came into play for the remainder of the match and eventually Sheamus hit Ricardo with the stick and then Brogue-kicked Del Rio for the win.
