Divas Tag Match - Gail Kim & Maria vs Alicia Fox & Michelle McCool. Actually a very decent match by all involved, Kim & Maria probably had the better match but McCool took the win for her team in a match that could have done with a slightly better finish but still a good curtain jerker.

Paul Burchill (with Katie Lea) vs Evan Bourne. It seems that the colour guys are now using "Air Bourne" as a nickname for Evan, rather gratifying considering I'm the one who created the name originally for his finisher and WWE took me up on my offer to steal and use it. Its rather sad to see someone as talented as Evan jobbing to Burchill in order to put over a heel with a pretty crap gimmick and even worse heat, Burchill was all power & weardown moves with Bourne providing all the real entertainment off the high flying aerial stuff. Bourne was selling a bad knee which Burchill targeted and stuck with but Bourne got a near fall from a nice flying forearm but took the eventual win off Air Bourne. Average match that was a little too long, Burchill needs to learn a few more moves if I am honest as he's a 1 trick pony getting by on his Triple H type looks.

Ted DiBiase Jr (with Cody Rhodes) vs Carlito. So the tag titles have been unified across RAW & Smackdown now then? This was pretty much a squash match for Dibiase Jr with Carlito selling like crazy to get Ted Jr over in the heel role, not much in the way of substance or entertainment come to that but both guys got an ample bite of the cherry and the match was fairly even with Dibiase Jr taking the win off a modified chokeslam. Not a good match at all, Carlito was the better worker but thats not saying much as he did practically f**k all and Dibiase Jr did even less.

To be frank the best match on the card was a chuck up between the Divas tagmatch and Evan Bournes match, the divas had a very good match and were allowed to work a decent program. The only way Bourne could have had a better match would have been if he'd had an opponant with an ounce of talent, stick him up against someone like Shelton Benjamin or Kofi Kingston which would make for a miles better match. WWE still aren't capitalizing on this show yet but it was better this week than it has been but it could be MUCH better still.
