Tupelo, Miss.
Report by James O. & Kyle Niblett, PWTorch readers

The arena holds about 10,000 and the crowd was about half capacity. It was down from last August's house show with John Cena as top bill.

(1) Los Matadores beat 3MB (Drew McIntyre & Jinder Mahal) in about 10 minutes. Basically same action seen on TV from the two teams in recent weeks. After the match, Los Matadores gave Drew their finish with Torito's springboard assist.

(2) Tyson Kidd beat Hunico with a Blockbuster. Great work from both guys. The crowd was surprisingly into this match. They did a phenomenal balance spot that I've never seen before.

(3) Natalya beat Divas champion A.J. Lee via submission with the Sharpshooter in a non-title match. It was originally scheduled as a title match, but A.J. told the crowd she wouldn't defend her belt.

(4) World Hvt. champion Alberto Del Rio beat R-Truth in a No DQ match to retain the World Title. The crowd was really into Truth, who went through a table during the match. Del Rio's nose got busted up and one of R-Truth's rings on his head was ripped off and he bled quite a bit (nowhere near a crimson mask). But, with about five minutes left, a doctor with medical gloves came down to check on Truth.

After the match, Del Rio continued to attack Truth, but Rey Mysterio made a surprise appearance to make the save. Damien Sandow came out to cash in his MITB briefcase, but Mysterio and Truth returned to the ring and thwarted that attempt. It was pretty disappointing that Sandow was in ring gear, but did not wrestle match.

(5) Zack Ryder beat Wade Barrett with a roll-up. The crowd was dead during this match, which was right after intermission.

(6) The Wyatt Family beat The Prime Time Players with a Clothesline from Hell. Great tag team match. Wyatts are very impressive in person. There were lots of people in the crowd with goat masks and "Follow the Buzzards" shirts/signs.

(7) CM Punk beat IC champion Curtis Axel & Paul Heyman in a handicap Extreme Rules match. Punk gave Axel the GTS for the end. Great, fun main event. Working with Punk has improved Axel so much in the ring.

Biggest Pops: (1) Punk, (2) R-Truth, (3) Rey Mysterio.

Most Heat: (1) Paul Heyman (by far), (2) A.J. Lee, (3) Alberto Del Rio.
