SHAWN MICHAELS & TRIPLE H & JOHN CENA & THE UNDERTAKER vs. RANDY ORTON & TED DIBIASE & CODY RHODES & C.M. PUNK
Cena and Rhodes led things off, a match-up that we’ve seen on numerous Raw multi-man main event tags. Triple H punched Rhodes in the face, and Rhodes crawled to the corner to tag in his partner this Sunday. Hunter pummeled DiBiase in the corner, then brought HBK in to do some damage. It was all face team here in the first few minutes. Michaels extended a hand to tag Taker, but Taker paused to stare at Michaels, allowing DiBiase to take back over. Taker did tag in soon after, and the former Wrestlemania foes stared at each other in the ring as they went to break.

Taker was in there with Rhodes out of break. He then tagged out to Hunter. Long standing vertical suplex, but not as long as Matt Morgan’s last night on Impact. DX continued to pwn Legacy in this match and as I type that, a flurry of rights from Rhodes put Michaels on the mat. Randy Orton and C.M. Punk made their first appearances of the match, one right after the other. Michaels and Orton both ended up on the mat- Cody tagged in and an enziguiri by Michaels gave him some time to tag, and he did, to Cena. Cena had to fight off both Legacy members, and put both of them on his back for an Attitude Adjustment. But Rhodes got down and the two heels gave him the Sweet ‘n’ Sour, which is at the point they took the final break.

Back with Punk and Cena engaged in battle. Orton came in and seemed to have his way with Cena, ‘til Cena got him in the Atttiude Adjustment out of nowhere, but couldn’t connect, as Orton DDT’d him. DiBiase made his presence known as the legal man with a kick to a seated Cena’s head. But Cena got the better of him and both men made tags, to Punk and Hunter. Patented spinebuster by The Game. Taker tagged in, but Punk dove to tag Orton. Snake Eyes, ironically, to the Viper Orton. Back-breaker by Orton, but he got caught in Hell’s Gate, only briefly, as DiBiase broke it up. Everybody started brawling at that point, as Michaels superkicked DiBiase and Hunter Pedigreed him. Cena got Punk up for the Attitude Adjustment and tossed him onto Legacy at ringside. All four faces were in the ring with the lone heel, Orton. Taker, the legal man, Tombstoned Orton. Mike Chioda didn’t seem worried that all four of the men were still in the ring while he made his count.

WINNERS: Taker, Hunter, HBK and Cena, at 21:39

Triple H came out first for the face-off with Orton. Hunter was like a caged animal inside the squared circle, waiting for Orton. Randy’s music hit, but he didn’t come out. There were two stools in the ring and carpet. Orton showed up, instead, on the TitanTron and asked Triple H if he really thought he was going to show up in the ring with Backlash this Sunday. Orton said he’s this close to getting the WWE Championship- so why would he jeopardize that by coming out tonight and perhaps making a mistake. Orton said Hunter has turned his allies into enemies and he has no one. He said all it’ll take is for one of Hunter’s teammates to make a small mistake, and Orton becomes WWE Champion. Orton was confident Triple H would get himself disqualified on next Sunday. Trips began laughing and Orton asked if he thought it was funny when he RKO’d his wife or DDT’d her. Clips of those happenings were spliced in with Orton’s comments, making it feel even more over-produced. Orton talked about kissing Steph that time on Raw and this time, Hunter just laughed it off. Orton finally got pissed and asked Triple H what was so funny. Hunter said it’s something Randy doesn’t know…..that the match they have this Monday….well, it’s no-DQ. Triple H claimed it would be just him and Orton, but if it’s no-DQ, it can be pretty much anyone. Trips said he’d finish things this Monday.

Randy Orton made his way to the ring. He kicked Primo in the chest, then did the same to Carlito. All three members of Legacy raised their arms in success. He talked about the match at Backlash. Orton reminded everyone that it was he who put Batista on the shelf in the first place, with a kick to the skull. Orton talked about the rules of the match and how the title can switch hands. He said Triple H’s team is full of hotheads and that one of them is bound to get DQ’d or counted out. He said after Backlash, he’d take his rightful place as WWE Champion.

TRIPLE H vs. UMAGA
HHH started out hot, socking Umaga in the head with a bevy of right hands. Umaga returned the shots with headbutts. Whip into the corner, but HHH came out with a vengeance, clotheslining the Samoan Bulldozer. Umaga nailed The Game with a superkick. JR questioned whether or not Trips could recover from the kick. Legdrop by Umaga for two. HHH came back with a knee to Umaga’s face. Thrust to the throat of The Game allowed Umaga time to recover. Trips low-bridged him and Umaga dove over the top rope and to the outside of the ring. Out of nowhere, The Legacy ran threw the crowd and surrounded the ring. HHH held off Cody Rhodes, but Dibiase and Orton came in to attack and the numbers game got the best of him for a while. The ref is nowhere to be seen, so let’s call it….

WINNER: Triple H via DQ, at about 3:30 (no bell).
