Batista vs Jericho and JBL
Lillian Garcia introduced the new World Heavyweight Champion, Chris Jericho. Jericho walked to the ring in a suit with the belt over his shoulder and a smug smile on his face. Mike Adamle came out to the stage and congratulated Jericho then made a title match between Punk and Jericho inside a steel cage; for next week. Adamle made tonight’s main event of Jericho vs. Batista. Jericho was okay with the Punk announcement but not so happy with the Batista announcement.
Later in the show "CHL", Charlie Haas Layfield humiliated JBL by mocking him. Backstage, JBL walked up to Batista and Kelly Kelly. JBL told Batista that they were both main eventers and that Charlie Haas has nothing in common with them. Batista agreed and said Charlie won his match tonight while JBL did not.
Main event: Batista dominated the early part of the match and Adamle came out to stop the match. He said he was learning on the job and miscalculated the condition of Jericho to make a great main event. He announced a new main event of Batista vs. Jericho and JBL in a handicapped match.
Jericho and JBL worked as a tag team. JBL enjoyed an extended offensive advantage on Batista. Batista regained the advantage and attempted a Batista Bomb on Jericho but was distracted by Cade. JBL used the advantage to hit the Closeline from Hell. Jericho slithered his way into the ring, made the cover, and scored the victory…
After the match, JBL and Cade (no Jericho) continued the beatdown of Batista. However, Batista came back and speared JBL. He hit a spinebuster on Cade and followed it up with a Batista Bomb. Jericho almost made out with his belt on the stage as he and Batista exchanged stares…
