Tyson Kidd vs. Wade Barrett:  This is a rematch from last week; should be a good one.  Barrett is coming off a strong outing against World Champion Sheamus O'Shaunessy on Raw.  YAY WRESTLING~!  Kidd's kick from the apron backfires as Wade SWEEPS THE LEG~!, sending him face-first down onto the edge of the ring.  Tyson catches him with a dragonscrew legwhip through the ropes...OW.  Kidd makes the comeback after that, nailing the missile dropkick...for two.  Barrett cuts him off by clotheslining him out of the ring, but misses a boot on the floor and hangs himself up on the barricade.  This time Kidd delivers the kick from the apron...back in the ring, Wade raises a boot to stop the incoming springboard elbowdrop but Kidd sees it coming.  He grabs the foot and gets him into the Sharpshooter!  Barrett barely reaches to ropes to force a break, then catches Kidd off the ropes with the Bossman Slam!  That's enough of an opening for Wade to hit the Souvenir...one-two-three.

U.S. Champion Antonio Cesaro vs. Justin Gabriel, non-title:  Hey, more good wrestling, I like this trend.  Gabriel gets an early advantage, but Cesaro catches a plancha attempt to slam him on the floor!  Needless to say, the U.S. Champ has the edge after that...Gabriel fights back but Cesaro wipes him out with a huge clothesline(flip sell!).  Gabriel crucifixes into a sunset flip for two but Cesaro stops him with a European uppercut.  Deadlift gutwrench suplex gets a two-count and Antonio keeps him grounded for a while...he blocks one spinning kick, but not two.  Gabriel nails the springboard moonsault...for two.  Gabriel slips a bit on the ropes but still maneuvers into position to hit the Asai moonsault/inverted DDT...and Cesaro gets a foot on the rope to escape defeat.  450 Splash?  No, Antonio hits the ropes to trip him up...then picks him up from that position for the Neutralizer!  That'll do it.
