Show notes:
The LG Arena was close to capacity, so around 10,000 though not sold out. Biggest pops of the night were for, by far, HHH, Hardy and Undertaker, with Hardy perhaps edging it.

Serious heat for ring announcer Justin Roberts, poor guy. DX’s music hits and the place goes a little wild as it forgets itself, thinking maybe the duo are back together... Roberts gets on then kills the buzz, getting on the mic to plug that Tickets for the November UK Tour – entitled the DX invasion tour... Don’t think the crowd appreciated it. Big boos also for John Cena... he wasn’t even in the building put a promo for 12 Rounds didn’t go down too well with Birmingham.

Not too sure if MVP is carrying an injury on the tour, but he spent at least half of the triple threat match sat outside of the ring adjusting boots etc

Interesting mess-up before the ECW Title match – Tiffany comes out to do the ring announcing and though Christian’s music starts, she introduces Swagger. The music continues to play until it’s clearly realised that she isn’t going to correct herself, and Swagger’s music is switched on...

No matches really stand out, though the Hardys’ was a good effort, and HHH/Undertaker worked the crowd like true veterans.. The house almost game unglued as HHH reached Taker for the hot tag.
