WWE Backlash 2008 Results

World Heavyweight Championship
The Undertaker (c) vs. Edge
A pretty good match. As expected, Undertaker won. The win came after Edge tapped out to the triangle chokehold just like WM24. After the match Edge was taken away on a stretcher.
Me: 1/1
Dave: 1/2

ECW Championship
Kane (c) vs. Chavo Guerrero
Kane won.
Me: 2/2
Dave: 2/2

Fatal Four-Way Elimination match for the WWE Championship
Randy Orton (c) vs. John "Bradshaw" Layfield vs. Triple H vs. John Cena
I should have gone with my first instinct and picked HHH. He won the match and the title for the 12th time.
Me: 2/3
Dave: 3/3

Shawn Michaels vs. Batista (w/Chris Jericho as Special Guest Referee)
This was probably the match of the night. With an impartial Jericho as the referee Shawn won after a Superkick. HBK appeared to injure his right knee in the match, but it could all end up being a work.
Me: 3/4
Dave: 3/4

The Big Show vs. The Great Khali
In a very slow match Big Show won after a chokeslam.
Me: 4/5
Dave: 4/5

WWE United States Championship
Montel Vontavious Porter (c) vs. Matt Hardy
Matt Hardy won the match to become the new U.S. Champion. After the match Hardy said this was the biggest title win of his career. While I am sure that is true since the U.S. Title is the highest ranking singles title that Hardy has won I get the suspicion that they may be using this to set-up a Matt v. Jeff feud.
Me: 4/6
Dave: 4/6

12-Diva Tag Team match
Mickie James, Maria, Ashley, Michelle McCool, Cherry & Kelly Kelly vs. Beth Phoenix, Melina, Jillian Hall, Layla, Victoria & Natalya Neidhart.
This match was a lot better than I thought that it would be. The heels won after a Beth Phoenix suplex onto Ashley.
Me: 5/7
Dave: 4/7

I pick 5/7 correct and Dave picked 4/7 correct. Not too bad.
