ECW champ Matt Hardy made his way to the ring. Hardy noted
they are five days away from Cyber Sunday and that it's up to the fans to
decide who gets to challenge him for the title. Hardy mentioned "Fit"
Finlay and Evan Bourne, but Hardy said he wanted to talk about Mark Henry.
Hardy said that two weeks ago he was left laying in the ring and Henry was
trying to send him a message that he wanted one more shot at the belt. Hardy
said that he's heard the message loud and clear and "he's sure the WWE
Universe is going to vote you in because they hate you." Hardy said Henry
is getting his vote.
Finlay's music hit and he and Hornswoggle came to the ring.
Finlay said that they were both drafted to ECW in June and have been opponents
and partners, but they haven't faced off for the title on Hardy's shoulder.
Finlay said that if he gets voted in, that will change and so will the
ownership of the title.
Evan Bourne's music hit. He got a nice pop coming out.
Bourne said that if Finlay is campaigning, he should join the party. Bourne
said he's new but he won't be overlooked. Finlay mocked his height and called
him "Bournswoggle." Bourne said that he can have the jokes because
Bourne wants the jokes.
Mark Henry came out. Henry promised that he was going to
dominate tonight in their three-way and then everyone will know who to vote
for. Henry promised that Hardy's title run would come to an end at Cyber
Sunday. Hardy told them all that winning the vote at Cyber Sunday is the only
thing they were going to win. Fans chanted for Hardy. Matt promised he'd be the
winner when it was all "said and done."
Jack Swagger vs. Brett Braderly
Swagger looked impressive in a quick win over Braderly. The
announcing focus was on why Swagger would want to mess with Tommy Dreamer.
Afterwards, Grisham tried to question Swagger, asking him what would happen
when they crossed paths in the ring. Swagger responded, "Tommy who?"
and walked off smiling.
Lena Yada interviewed John Morrison and The Miz. They said
that Cryme Time tried to vote for themselves for Cyber Sunday but the cell
phones they stole were already turned off. Miz said he has a bigger segment of
female voters than Sarah Palin. They promised to take out Shad Garpard tonight
and told Lena to "be jealous." She had this great look of disgust and
"Can you believe these two" when they left.
Shad Gaspard vs. The Miz
At one point, Striker said Miz and Morrison should call
themselves the Hollywood Brunettes. Morrison tried to interfere, but the
referee caught him and that allowed JTG to trip Miz. Morrison kicked Shad in
the head from behind but the referee caught him and called for the DQ. Miz
didn't understand why he was DQ'd and before he could figure it out, was
dropkicked out of the ring by JTG.
They pushed John Cena's return hard, then the PPV.
Tiffany, dressed as a go-go dancer, was getting hit on by
Ricky Ortiz. Hornswoggle showed up looking to trick or treat and got candy from
Teddy Long dressed as Shaft.
Mark Henry vs. Evan Bourne vs. Finlay
Well put together match. Finlay nailed Bourne with a
shoulderbreaker but only got a two count. Finlay picked up and dropped Bourne
over the ropes throat-first, then shoulderblocked Bourne into the corner.
Finlay went for a back suplex but Bourne landed on his feet. He nailed a rana,
sending Finlay into Henry. Their heads clunked and Bourne covered Finlay for a
two count. Finlay tried to turn it over into a crucifix but Henry dragged
Bourne to the floor, nailed him, then went after Finlay in the corner. Bourne
covfered Finlay but Henry broke up the pin. Henry nailed a reverse clothesline
on Finlay. When they returned, Henry continued to clean house on Henry. They
went back and forth. Henry had Finlay beat and called for Atlas to grab
Hornswoggle. Atlas pulled him from under the ring but Finlay made the save. He
nailed Henry with the shillelagh, allowing Evan Bourne to nail a shooting star
press and get the pin.
Your winner, Evan Bourne
End of show...
