Your hosts are Todd Grisham & S. William Regal.
Titus O'Neil vs. Derrick Bateman: We're in Philadelphia so Bateman is decked out in the Apollo Creed-style red-white-and-blue shorts. So where are Hornswoggle and Daniel Bryan? Regal does note that O'Neil is working on establishing his own personality without the leprechaun at ringside, so there's a partial explanation. Darren Young makes his way to ringside to observe the proceedings...Titus tosses Bateman out of the ring and Young consults with Derrick on the arena floor. Regal wonders why Young doesn't have an issue with Bateman...the commentators theorize that they're working together to eliminate the biggest threat. Bateman tries to go aerial and misses badly on a Steamboat Press attempt, cueing the rally from O'Neil. A well-timed foot grab by Young allows Bateman to deliver a dropkick from behind...he follows up with the Mantastic DDT~! to finish the job.
Backstage, Hornswoggle finally meets his secret admirer...A.J. Lee! Great, now I'm jealous of the midget. Maryse Ouellet shows up to make fun of the happy couple...and A.J. beans her with a bouquet of flowers. Ha ha.
Vladimir Kozlov and J.T.G. continue their odd little feud.
Yoshi Tatsu vs. Tyson Kidd, pendant-on-a-pole match: The pendant consists of the leg from Yoshi's action figure that Kidd destroyed. I guess they COULD be feuding over shampoo or something. Tatsu brings the action figure to ringside in bandages...yup. Yay wrestling? Regal's a trooper, playing it completely straight...Yoshi's fighting for his personal honor and Kidd is doing anything he can to rile up his rival. Yoshi's momentum backfires on him as a flying knee off the steps hits only the ringside barricade. The two end up fighting on the turnbuckle below the pole, leading to BOTH men crashing to the floor.
Kidd gets a Liontamer in the ropes and there are no DQs in this match so he can hold it for a long as he wants. He releases the hold to go for the win, but Yoshi cuts him off and decks him with the big roundhouse kick! Kidd recovers in time to cut off Yoshi's ascent in the corner, leading to another fight on the turnbuckles...Yoshi gets a hold of the pendant even as Kidd delivers a top-rope German suplex(!), which means Tatsu is the winnah...but Kidd attacks from behind and decides to do some damage to Yoshi's ACTUAL leg. Shinbuster onto the broadcast table! Ringpost figure-four~! The referees finally restore order but the damage has been done...
