Edge b. CM Punk
This was described to me as a very good match. Lots of nears falls throughout, our correspondent says Punk ends up hitting Go to Sleep but Edge falls to the outside. Punk goes to get him and Zack Ryder gets involved. Edge ends up hitting the spear for the win.

Video of Batista thanking Vickie Guerrero for his match tonight against The Undertaker.
Batista comes out for his match against The Undertaker.
The Undertaker b. Batista
They give this some time. Undertaker dominates early and the action eventually spills to the outside. On the outside, Undertaker throws Batista into the ring stairs. Undertaker gives a leg drop to Batista off the apron. Both try finishers but miss. Undertaker ends up hitting a chokeslam for a two count. Batista a spear for a two count. Undertaker puts the steps in the ring. Undertaker goes for the Tombstone but Batista counters with a spear. Batista goes for the Batista Bomb but Shawn Michaels comes out. He gives him a superkick. Undertaker ends up getting the win.
Overall, sounds like a pretty good show. Batista-Taker is being hyped pretty heavily by most of the reports I’ve read, so it should be another in a long line of great matches between the two. Edge-Punk was good the first time (several months back), so hopefully this one lives up to the hype.
