Backstage: Teddy Long & Sheamus
Backstage, Teddy Long informs Sheamus that he’ll be defending his U.S. Title tonight in a tables match against Kofi Kingston. Sheamus complains, blah blah blah.
Tables Match: Sheamus vs. Kofi Kingston (U.S. Title)
A table is set up in the corner and Kingston runs at Sheamus. Sheamus manages to avoid him, which led to Kingston leaping onto the ropes to avoid putting himself through the table. Later on in the contest, while on the outside of the ring, Sheamus was using a table to brace himself as he got back to his feet. While he was doing this, Kingston leaps over the top rope and hits a Boom Drop on Sheamus through the table. And just like this, Kingston wins. New champion.
Winner and NEW WWE U.S. Champion Kofi Kingston
Backstage: Todd Grisham & R-Truth
Backstage, Todd Grisham is with R-Truth. Truth complains about not being booked on the PPV tonight. He talks about conspiracies, he complains about John Morrison, etc.
Country Whipping Match: Jim Ross & Jerry Lawler vs. Michael Cole & Jack Swagger
Cole comes out wrapped in bubble wrap. Cole cuts a promo tearing down JR and The King, comparing them to Florida-based retirees. Cole is actually going to start the match. Well, that lasted all of two seconds. He got out of there rather quickly. Swagger is in now, along with Lawler, and now we’re underway. Lawler was holding his own for the most part before Swagger tagged in Cole. Cole was nervous to get back in the ring. Jim Ross is in now and he goes right at Cole. Swagger interferes to cool JR down a bit. Ross ends up hitting a low-blow on Swagger, and was whipping him when Cole rolled him up for the pin. Cole and Swagger win it.
Winners: Michael Cole & Jack Swagger
