- Lilian Garcia sang the national anthem before introducing Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler.

- Batista opens the show. He wants his rematch for Chris Jericho’s World title. Stephanie McMahon appears on video screen and says he won’t get a shot before Survivor Series.

- Stephanie makes Rey Mysterio vs. Kane in a No DQ match for later tonight, plus Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Jericho in a Last Man Standing match.

- Randy Orton comes out to talk to Batista. They go back and forth with a promo before we learn Randy Orton vs. Batista will also take place tonight!

- Santino Marella vs. William Regal for the IC title opens the show. Santino debuts the HONKYTONKYPERFECTMOUNTIEMETER! Genius. They combine to a whopping 123 weeks. Regal comes out to a huge ovation. The bell sounds, knee to the head by Regal, he makes the cover and its done in 30 seconds. New IC champion. Regal takes the mic and talks about how proud he is, although that may not be shown on TV.

* Mike Knox b. D'Lo Brown in a quick match.
- Knox got the win following a spinning neckbreaker.

* Santino Marella and Beth Phoenix are shown backstage. Santino tell her that he spoke with Shane McMahon and that she has a match for the women's title against Mickie James. She attempts to slap him but misses.

* A John Cena video package is shown.

- Chris Jericho makes his way to the ring. He rips into Shawn Michaels and goes over the history between the two. He warns that not every story has a happy ending before leaving.

- Rey Mysterio b. Kane, after Rey sent Kane into an exposed turnbuckle. Rey looked to have hurt himself at the end of the match.

- Backstage, Randy Orton talked to Manu and Cody Rhodes, telling them both neither were in his league. Rhodes slaps Orton.

- JBL comes to the ring wearing a neckbrace. Its announced that we’ll see Team JBL vs. Team HBK at Survivor Series. JBL says he’s going to give away £1,000 to a fan and invites one into the ring. He says the fan can have the money if he can name five U.S Presidents. He names five, but JBL doesn’t give the money because the fan didn’t know the vice-Presidents.

Out come Cryme Tyme. They take the money and say JBL has to answer five questions of his own to get the money back. JBL fails and Cryme Tyme give away the £1,000.

- Randy Orton vs. Batista never started. Rhodes and Manu came out. Rhodes said he’ll beat Batista himself and they did that match instead. Batista wins in around five minutes then hits Manu with a spinebuster afterwards. Orton looks on from the ramp before backing off.

- Beth Phoenix beat Mickie James to retain the Women’s title. Santino celebrated as if he’d won himself.

- Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Jericho in a Last Man Standing match is up next. Wild match. They fought up to the stage. Jericho locked in the Walls of Jericho on the taxi. Michaels then threw him off the stage and they fought in the crowd. Eventually they make their way back to the ring. A ladder is brought into the ring and Jericho nails Michaels with it.

Michaels then throws the ladder at Jericho, knocking him out. Michaels sets up Jericho on the announce table then climbs the ladder and drops an elbow onto Jericho, sending them through the table. Awesome.

JBL interferes but Michaels fights him off. Jericho then nails Michaels with a chair. Michaels fights back and hits Sweet Chin Music but JBL returns and lays out Michaels. Jericho makes it back to his feet just before the ten count to win the match. Great stuff.

I forgot it was over here this week. I say that Santino wins it back next week and pretends it didn't happen as England isn't part of a continent.

No, they even had the battle royal on TV last week to determine who would face Santino this week.

Given Raw hasn't been on yet, I don't believe it. And I'm English, Fuck Regal, he had his chance and blew it, Santino should win.

Ok I might cheer for Regal, but theres still nothing wrong with Regal losing.

Meh that could mean anything.

Technically he changed the name of the Honk-A-Meter so even if there wasn't a title change, the Honk-A-Meter still left us.

Yeah I like how they assume we're all behind Regal just because of his nationality. I didn't wanna watch because I knew they were gonna put the belt on the fat cunt. Poor Santino :(

This would have been great 6 months ago. King Regal was the shit.

Now he is back to jobber hell and has Layla around. His steam is gone.

Santino has been on a ROLL, and why did they build up the Hink a Meter just to drop it in a squash that doesnt really matter? No payoff or anything.

When is the last time the IC title was dropped in an ACTUAL FEUD!?!?!?!

This would have been great in an actual match. As much as Santino dropping the belt sucks, it would have sucked just a wee bit less if the pre- and post-match business didn't last longer than the actual fucking match did. Regal's speech would have even been a bit more absorbing if he hadn't just steamrolled his way to the pin in a matter of seconds. It all felt cheap and petty to me.

Impact!

So Santino's on weed?

Regal being pushed is awesome, but he should have won the belt from an actual match. The guy is pretty damn great in the ring and it's a shame he doesn't get to use his skills that much on tv.

You know, it's possible that this is a wellness policy violation, and they didn't build it up just to drop it. At LEAST as often as not, the wrestlers shoot themselves in the foot, whether or not the IWC and smarktards want to admit it.

Santino had a big role on the show, though. It seems like he'll be back next week.

Regal is the man, and I'm glad to see him winning stuff again. I'm hoping his feud with Jamie Noble continues over the IC Title. Those matches could be fucking intense.

If Santino was getting a timeout, why would they strip the belt, but not have a complete falling out with Beth? They usually turn all (not just some) of the storylines to poo when suspending someone.

Exactly. Santino had Beth on his shoulders celebrating the last time we saw him. He hasn't been suspended.
