WWE Championship
Triple H (c) vs. Jeff Hardy
It looked like Hardy was going to win. He escaped from a pedigree, hit the Twist of Fate and the Swanton Bomb. Hardy then went for the pin, but Triple H rolled Hardy over and got the pin.

Dave: 2/2

Winner becomes the #1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Championship
Batista vs. John "Bradshaw" Layfield
A bit of a quick match considering that these are supposed to be 2 top-level guys. Batista got the pin. After the match a beaten JBL asked for the mic. He admitted that his heart wasn't in the match due to the trouble on Wall Street. He then thanked the crowd (American public) for the bailout and helping him keep all of his money and stay rich and everyone else having to work for the rich people - the way that it is supposed to be. A pretty good promo if you ask me.
Me: 3/3
Dave: 3/3

World Heavyweight Championship
Chris Jericho (c) vs. Shawn Michaels
As expected the match of the night. As with most ladder matches, this one had all of the predictable spots and it was painfully obvious at times what spots were coming up next. Example - at one point Jericho was supposed to have the ladder land on top of him, but it didn't. Jericho then pulled the ladder on top of himself in time for HBK to drop an elbow on him. The ending was pretty good and wasn't like any end of a ladder match that I have seen. Jericho and HBK were having a tug-of-war with the belt at the top of the ladder. Jericho then, while still holding on to it, stopped pulling so HBK hit hismelf in the face with it fall of the ladder w/o the belt. Jericho wins.
Me: 4/4
