Tyson Kidd vs. Yoshi Tatsu

Before we get start, Michael Hayes has a mic and decides that he wants to talk and anger the audience and then turns his attention to Yoshi before singing the praises of Tyson. The ref tries to get things going and is successful in doing so.
Tyson goes after Yoshi and gains the early advantage as well as doing very heel-y things until Yoshi turns things around and lands a few chops. However Michael Hayes gets the refs attention and Tyson lands a few cheap shots to regain the advantage. Yoshi turns the tides by hitting a dropkick and clotheslines Tyson out of the ring and then jump out onto Kidd. Yoshi throws Kidd back into the ring but Tyson lands a few shots and comes back out onto the floor and beats up on Kidd some more as Michael Hayes is moonwalking into a commercial.

We return as Kidd has Yoshi in a headlock which means Yoshi is getting back to his feet and Yoshi tries to reverse a few holds but Kidd manages to maintain his momentum. Yoshi finds himself hanging on the 2nd rope with Kidd on the floor and Tyson lands a ridiculous high kick to Yoshi’s head. Kidd tries the cover but gets two. Tyson puts another headlock and Yoshi gets back to his feet and starts turning things his way until he misses on the drop kick and then gets hit by a kick to the head. Kidds gets Yoshi in the corner and runs full steam only for Yoshi to move out the way. Yoshi finally gets things to go his way and lands a multitude of kicks. Yoshi gets up on the top ropes and Tyson gets up to knock Yoshi’s feet out. Tyson then gets up there himself and lands a suplex and goes for the pin but only gets a two count. Tyson then locks in the Sharpshooter but Yoshi makes it to the ropes and Tyson has to break it. Tyson goes for a kick but misses out on the apron before flipping around and both men tries a rollup pin and neither works until Yoshi lands a big kick to Tyson’s head and gets the pin.
Winner: Yoshi Tatsu

After the match, Michael tries to help Tyson Kidd to his feet only to land a huge slap to Tyson’s face and storms out.

Santino Marella & Vladimir Kozlov vs. Curt Hawkins & Zach Ryder
Both teams get a little testy before the bell but its Santino and Ryder starting things off. Ryder obviously gets the early advantage until Santino threatens with the Cobra and Ryder crawls to his corner and tags in Hawkins and gets dropped by Santino who then tags in Kozlov who just manhandles Hawkins out the ring ad into a commercial.

We return just as Kozlov is picking Ryder apart until Ryder gets Kozlov caught up in the ropes and tags Hawkins. Hawkins hits a flying clothesline and keeps Kozlov in their corner and tags Ryder, who continues to pick apart Kozlov. Santino gets angry and tries to come out but the ref isn’t haven’t. Meanwhile, Hawkins and Ryder pulls Kozlov into their corner and Ryder tags Hawkins in. Hawkins stomps away on Kozlov until Vladimir is able to push his way to his corner and tags Santino who hits his moves, including the Cobra and that gets it done.
Winner: Santino & Vladimir Kozlov

Evan Bourne vs Drew McIntyre
The two men lock up and Drew muscles Evan around for a bit until Evan quickens the pace and takes control. Evan hits a dropkick and that makes Drew wan to take a break outside the ring. Drew gets back in and hits a clothesline that sends Evan flying onto the floor and into a commercial.

We return to Drew going for a suplex but Evan manages to land a few knees to Drew’s head but still gets a boot to the face. Drew places Evan on the top rope and hits a slow suplex but only gets a two count out of it. Both men go out on the apron and Evan drops Drew onto the steps. Evan throws Drew back in and lands a series of kicks and a running kick in the corner and goes for Airbourne but Drew gets out of the way but Evan still jumps on Drew. The two get back in the ring and Drew hits the Future Shock for the pin.
Winner: Drew McIntyre
