CM Punk, Jimmy Wang Yang, Shannon Moore, and Kofi Kingston vs. Elijah Burke, Deuce ‘N Domino, and Shelton Benjamin

Punk tries to do the Kofi clap and looks kinda funny doing it. Burke still has no smile on his face. The bell rings as Punk starts with Domino. The lock up goes to Domino with an arm wrench, but Punk reverses into a headlock. Punk bounces off the ropes and he hits a shoulder block. Moore tagged in and he gets a near fall.

Shelton gets a knee to the gut of Punk and dumps him to the outside as both teams meet on the outside. We head to a commercial at 2:45.

We are back at 6:00 and Punk in locked in a test of strength with Burke. Burke downs Punk and misses the elbow. Kofi tagged in and Burke backs him to the ropes. Kofi slides under Burke and hits an arm drag takedown. Moore tagged in and he goes to work on the shoulder of Burke. Yang tagged in and he hits the somersault over the top rope. Burke backed into the turnbuckle and Yang goes for the ten punches, but gets shoved off. He walks into a boot and Shelton is tagged in. Yang gets set on the second rope and Burke slides out off of Yang’s head as Shelton comes in. Benjamin grounds Yang with the headlock, but Yang gets back to his feet and escapes with elbows.

Winners: Punk, Jimmy Wang Yang, Shannon Moore, and Kofi Kingston

We then go to clips from last week’s contract signing with Kane getting beat down by Chavo and his crew.

Kane is backstage and he says that Chavo has reawakened the evil inside of him and that the monster is back. Tonight, Miz and Morrison get to feel the destruction… the Brothers of Destruction. We pane over to the Taker, who does his eye trick as Kane laughs.

Back from the break and Tazz is in the ring for a Diva dance off. Oh joy. First to come out is Layla and the crowd is silent. Maryse is next and the crowd is silent. Eve is next and crowd is silent. You get the idea. Lena Yada is next and the crowd is even more silent. Kelly comes out and I can hear some cheers. Tazz gives us the rules and a cheap pop. Tazz then decides to shake his belly for a second and make the ladies laugh. I didn’t. The ladies go in order and it is pretty much what you would expect. Eve does something that resembles a cheerleading ballet and was actually original. Kelly takes off her top, what a shock. If I had to vote, Eve would win for doing something different. But London gets to vote and then vote for Kelly by a wide margin. Tazz keeps Kelly in the ring as the rest of the ladies go the back and they dance together. Thankfully it lasts all of 10 seconds before we go to another break.

Tommy Dreamer (with Colin Delaney) vs. Mike Knox

Mike says that Knox’s strategy is to be methodical. Before we start, Estrada comes out and announces that the fans want to see a competitive match. They want to see Knox face a potential world champion… like Colin Delaney. He sends Dreamer to the back and Colin slides in. The bell rings and Mike Knox lays out Colin with one punch. Knox drills Colin with a hard snap back suplex. Knox squashes Colin in the corner and follows with the backbreaker. Knox ends it with the corkscrew face plant in 59 seconds.

Winner: Mike Knox

Speaking of destruction, we move towards the main event and gets a pre-taped promo and The Miz talk about the “brothers” beating the hell of each other two weeks ago. Morrison says they will divide and conquer as their brotherly bond is stronger. Morrison says The Miz will start and stare in the eyes of the dead man. Miz looks at him like he is crazy and then agrees.

Non Title – The Brothers of Destruction vs. The Miz and John Morrison

I still don’t get why the Tag Team Champions come out individuals. Kane and the Taker make sense to do it as individuals. Even after all these years, the Taker’s entrance is still the best ever. Miz and Morrison don’t look so cocky now, especially Miz. The bell rings and Kane starts with the Miz. The Miz dances away and starts to punch away. Kane hits a shoulder block on The Miz and throws Miz into the turnbuckle, literally. The Taker tagged in and Taker hits a shoulder block after an arm wrench. Taker goes old school and then dispatches Morrison. Miz to the outside and Taker follows. Miz set on the ring apron and Taker goes for the leg drop, but Morrison cuts him off with a perfectly timed clothesline. Taker is down as we go to a commercial at 1:45.

We are back at 5:57 and The Miz is kicking away on the Taker in the corner. Morrison in and continuing, but Morrison is grabbed the throat and thrown into the turnbuckle. Taker whips Morrison and ducks early, so he gets kicked. Morrison off the ropes and he walks into a big boot for a two count. Kane tagged in and Morrison sees a chokeslam coming, so he tags in Miz. Kane brings him in the hard way and whips him into the corner, following up with a huge clothesline. Side slam connects and Kane heads up top. Kane distracted by Morrison and Miz chop blocks Kane from behind. Morrison tagged in and he leg drops the knee and uses a leg lock. Miz tagged in and he backs Kane into the corner before laying the boots. Kane fights both men off, but Miz uses it the distraction to connect with his leaping clothesline. Morrison back in a tries to work the leg, until he tags Miz in. Kane connects with a huge right hand. Miz kicks the knee, runs off the ropes, and walks in a big boot. Taker tagged in as is Morrison. Taker goes to work on John, nailing Morrison with a clothesline the corner and hitting Snake Eyes before another huge boot gets two. Undertaker lines up for a chokeslam, but here comes Miz. Taker has them both, but they escape with boots. Double whip and Undertaker ducks under the clothesline. Miz and Morrison turn… DOUBLE GOZZLE! Kane and Taker hit stereo chokeslams!! Taker tombstones Morrison and gets the three count at 11:45. They pose and the broadcast ends.

Winners: The Undertaker and Kane
