PEOPLE’S POWER BATTLE ROYAL
As the PPV started with the copyright warning, sounds of a battle royal were heard in the background. The video feed picked up with men fighting in the ring. Heath Slater was dumped out, then Booker T showed off his ability to read the roster by announcing Michael McGillicutty’s elimination. JTG then took a flat-back bump off the ring apron for another elimination. Yoshi was suplexed over the top rope by McIntyre and he sold an ankle injury landing on the floor. Yoshi limped away in the background as Big Zeke was tossed out. Jey Uso was out next. Meanwhile, Lawler discussed buzz in the locker room about this potentially being John Laurinaitis’s final night as authority figure. Suddenly, Mac, Reks, and Hawkins were tossed out. Of course, Mac threw a fit ringside. Titus and D-Young then doubled up on Great Khali to eliminate the big man, creating a sigh of relief for Santino and Rhodes ringside. William Regal, a late entry, was still around, along with Christian. Jimmy Uso then eliminated Titus. D-Young got revenge a few moments later by eliminating Uso. Down to seven men. Make it six with Regal eliminated by Christian, drawing boos. Cole called this a look at the future of WWE. Alex Riley then eliminated D-Young after Young helped himself over the top rope. Meanwhile, Booker called Miz a one-hit wonder. Cole said they’ll talk about that later in the show. Miz then eliminated Riley, so it’s a Final Four of Miz, Tyson Kidd, Christian, and David Otunga. Kidd delivered a springboard double dropkick on Miz and Otunga, then skinned the cat when Miz tried to toss him out. But, Otunga eliminated Kidd from behind. Miz and Otunga came to an agreement and decided to go after Christian, who was heel before he left TV. Christian tried to fight off the two heels, but they cornered him and landed kicks as Cole ranted on Booker. Christian then dumped Otunga over the top rope out of nowhere. Miz tried to sneak-attack Christian, but he held onto the top rope to avoid elimination. Christian then avoided elimination again. More close shaves before both men found themselves on the ring apron. Christian then head-butted Miz to the gut, sending Miz off the apron to the floor. Christian wins the battle royal. Post-match, Christian pointed to Santino, making his selection to face Santino later in the PPV.WINNER: Christian at 12:13 to earn a U.S. Title shot later in the show

ALEX RILEY vs. HEATH SLATER
It’s noticeable that Riley consistently gets a legit pop on his entrance. The match starts and neither man can get an advantage early on. Lots of back-and-forth. Slater catches Riley going to the top and they cut to commercial.
Slater has control out of the break. Scott Stanford tells us that Slater hangs out with Trace Atkins, who’s name and face regularly crops up in WWE. Slater mouths off to the crowd and the ref while working Riley over. The crowd cheers Riley out of a hold, but he gets a neckbreaker for his efforts. Riley finally gets some space with big rights, but Slater dumps him to the ringside. Riley finally back on the attack coming into the ring. Riley turns up the speed. Big spinebuster and Riley’s got the crowd involved. A-Bomb in the corner for a nearfall. Out of nowhere, Slater hits a strange new move, it is like a half belly-to-back suplex followed by a reverse STO. That’s good for the win.WINNER: Heath Slater in 10:00. Slater has progressed from someone that I cringed at when he came onto my screen to a reliable, capable performer. He’s had a number of longish matches in the last few months, none of which were bad. Riley has done an amazing job at maintaining his momentum despite a lack of TV time, and his matches are usually good. This was a fun match.
