ECW Champion Big Show vs. Batista.
There was an "RVD" chant after Big Show entered. Batista came out, and the cameras focused on two Batista signs (held by young children) in the crowd. Batista stopped to argue with some fan briefly in the aisle during his entrance. Boos for Batista, although he definitely had some crowd support. A roll of toilet paper was thrown into the ring during the introductions. Boos for Big Show too. I guess neither is the fan favorite in NYC tonight. There was "You both suck" chant.
Big Show and Batista locked up, and Show started to work on Batista’s arm. Show lifted Batista off the mat with an armbar, but Batista raked his eyes and started punching Big Show down against the ropes. Batista then kicked Show through the ropes and to the floor. The fans were booing as they went to break.
Back from the break, Show headbutted Batista, and the fans were chanting "Same Old S***". Batista came back with punches, but Show grabbed him by the throat. Batista elbowed out and hit some clotheslines, but Show came back with one of his own. The fans chanted "boring" and Show encouraged them. The fans chanted "Change the channel" and Show, for some reason, smelled his armpit and smiled (apparently, there was a "Take A Shower" chant as well). Show headbutted Batista into the corner, then chopped him down. Show slammed Batista then went to the second rope, but Batista got up and hit some right hands. Batista suplexed Show, who was sitting on the top rope.
Batista hit some shoulderblocks in the corner, then some forearms and clotheslines, then took him down with a spear for a two count. "Boring" chant again. Show grabbed a chokeslam for a two count. Show grabbed the title belt and went to hit Batista with it, but Batista ducked and gave him a slow motion spinebuster. Batista set up for the Batista Bomb, but Show blocked it, delivering a backdrop/reverse bulldog type move for a two count. Big Show then picked up the title belt and hit Batista with it, getting himself disqualified.
Winner via DQ: Batista.
