However, as Cena built up steam against Ziggler, the TitanTron showed Kane attacking Zack Ryder as the U.S. Champion tried to change his flat tire. As soon as he was free of Ziggler's attempts at a sleeper hold, Cena ran to help his broski. As he exited the arena, the Cenation leader was attacked by The Big Red Monster. The menacing Kane stood over the unconscious Cena and Ryder as Raw SuperShow went off the air.

However, slapping the microphone out of R-Truth's hand resulted in the physical confrontation Ricardo hoped to avoid. But before R-Truth could leave the ring, The Miz attacked from the crowd.

With this extra bit of motivation, the WWE Champion battled the former World Heavyweight Champion with increased vigor. However, Jack Swagger is a formidable competitor and used his amateur background to try and maintain an advantage over The Voice of the Voiceless. However, following a flying elbow drop, the referee made an errant three-count that allowed CM Punk to secure the victory.

"Cowboy" James Storm Heavyweight Title Match: Jeff Hardy wins due to DQ, However Roode retains title
Results from the Genesis Pay-Per-View
X-Division Title: Rap Star Rick Ross was in attendance who promptly made his feelings known of his opinion of Zema Ion during his entrance. At the start of the match Aries immediately left the ring followed by Kash, which left Ion and Sorensen duking it out in the ring. The two finally made their way back in after seeing an opportunity for a pin however neither was able to follow through for the pin. After bringing the fight outside Ion took a massive twist off the top rope to the outside of the ring to take out Aries and Kash, followed by Sorensen taking a dive off the top as well. Ion managed to get the first elimination by pinning Kash. Sorensen nearly got the second elimination on Aries but was stopped by Ion, though this came back on him as Sorensen shortly after eliminated Ion. Aries nearly had an elimination on Sorensen however the ref was distracted missed the pin. After Ion, who was waiting outside the ring, interfered by stopping Sorensen from taking out Aries, Aries was able to take advantage and get the pin on Sorensen to retain the X-Division Championship.
"The Pope" D'Angelo Dinero vs. Devon: The match got off to a quick start with Devon running to the ring and immediately starting a very rough beat down on Pope with Devons sons Terrance and Terrell at ringside. This seemed to be a bit much for the Pope ashe begged him to stop shortly into the match. While Devon showed no mercy Pope was able to turn the match in his favor and maintain. Each time Devon managed to build a little bit of momentum the Pope would shut him down and keep the match in his control. Pope brought in Devons kids Terrance and Terrell and told them to start beating on their father, but after they wouldnt he took them out, which unleashed the fire in Devon who went after Pope in a full on assault and led to Devon getting the pin on The Pope. After the match Devon and his sons resolved their personal issues and were all back together.
Gunner vs. Rob Van Dam: The match started with the two competitors exchanging holds on each other with neither seeming to gain the upper hand. They ended up exchanging blows and kicks with control of the match going from RVD during much of the early part of the match to Gunner after receiving some advice from his mentor Ric Flair. The match went outside of the ring where Gunner attempted to expose the concrete as he has done with competitors on the past few weeks of IMPACT WRESTLING but was stopped by the referee and was forced back into the ring. RVD managed to start building momentum in his favor, however Gunner left to go to the outside the ring next to Ric Flair. RVD attempted to dive on Gunner outside the ring however Flair pulled Gunner away and Van Dam landed on the exposed concrete below. As the Ref was distracted dealing with Flair,Gunner DDTd RVD on the exposed concrete then got him back into the ring to get the pin for the win. RVD was stretchered out of ringside by emergency personnel.
Knockouts Championship: As part of a stipulation suggested by Velvet Sky to Sting, Rayne was forced to stay inside a cage hung at ringside during the match, which was dubbed Velvets Touch. The match went back and forth with many near pin falls coming from each competitor in a very physical match. Though Rayne was suspended at ringside (and she made sure you didnt forget she was there ) she still managed to interfere by tossing two brass knuckles with the first being discovered by the ref, however the second managed to be intercepted by Mickie who used them against Gail and led to a disqualification. As a result Gail Kim retained the Knockouts Championship.
Monsters Ball Match: At the start of the match Bully Ray delayed then inevitable and continuously left the ring. Finally Ray grabbed a chair and taunted the Monster who left to grab a chair and even the odds. After some back and forth the Monster took it upon him self to load the ring up with weapons and the match continued. Finally after Ray turned his back, Abyss brought out Janice from under the ring which prompted Bully Ray to give up and leave. Abyss would not have this and he went and brought him back in to the match. From this point the match continued to get more brutal with barbed wire, a cheese grater, and thumbtacks. After Abyss attempted to slam Ray into the thumbtacks Ray went for the table, however Abyss managed to counter and send Ray into the table instead. Between Abyss being sandwiched between Razor board and Ray being slammed into thumbtacks its amazing these two competitors were able to continue as long as they did. Finally, after a black hole slam into barbed wire a bloodied Abyss was declared the winner and he will retain his freedom from Immortal. After years of Monsters Ball matches this one tops them all.
Later during the Tag Team Championship match Ray was seen beating down on Abyss. Later in the Pay-Per-View the cameras caught up with Ray who was cleaning blood off to find out what happened to Abyss however he said he had no idea where he was.
Tag Team Championship: Starting out with Morgan and Joe these two started with an exchange of blows that Morgan seemed unaffected by for the first few, however after continued blows Joe seemed to start effecting Morgan. Shortly into the match both Magnus and Crimson were tagged in and a lot of back and froth happened until Crimson tagged in Morgan and gave Magnus repeated elbows then immediately tagged Crimson back in. The match continued with a series of quick tags to and smart tag team strategy by both teams. The challengers were in control of a big part of the match but it managed to turn around back into the favor of Morgan and Crimson leading to Morgan getting the pin on Magnus and the duo retaining the World Tag Team Titles.
Kurt Angle vs. "Cowboy" James Storm This match started out with each competitor being very cautious so as to not make a mistake. The pace started to pick up with Storm in control of the match and keeping the pressure on Angle. After a slight hesitation on the part of James Storm, Angle managed to turn things in his favor and maintain it for a large part of the match. Storm was eventually able to get things turned back in his favor, however Kurt retaliated with multiple suplexes and a moonsault. From here on the control changed back and forth between the two. In the end Angle managed to avoid the last call super kick and answer with a low blow and a kick to the face to take out Storm and get the pin on him.
Heavyweight Title Match: The crowd was in favor of the challenger Jeff Hardy for this match. Roode started out dominating Hardy with his calculated ground and pound style. Hardy was able to gain control and bring it outside of the ring where Hardy managed to wear down Roode and at one point cleared fans from ring side and drop kicked Roode into the guard rail. However, after this Roode dominated and wore down Hardy punishing every inch of his body. Bobbys strategy for the most part seemed to be to keep Hardy on the mat to prevent him from going high risk, essentially cutting off his main means for offense. Finally Roode mocked Hardy before jumping on him off the ropes and Hardy managed to lift his leg in time to take out Roode. Though Hardy was slow to get up he managed to turn the tide in his favor. From here forward the control seemed to go back and forth though not according to Roodes plan and at one point he attempted to leave and take the count out, though Hardy would not allow it. Hardy continuously put the pressure on Roode who tried leaving yet again with thetitle. In desperation Roode kicked the referee to get the disqualification, which gives Hardy the win but allows Roode to retain the title. An unhappy Hardy gave Roode, who was laid out from a twist of fate right before the ref called for a disqualification, a farewell Swonton Bomb and left the arena.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. While Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes reigned supreme in an epic battle against WWE legend Booker T, Daniel Bryan was lucky to walk away World Heavyweight Champion, following a highly questionable result in his title showdown against Big Show.
World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan def. Big Show by Disqualification in a World Heavyweight Title Match (WATCH | PHOTOS) At WWE TLC, Daniel Bryan cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase, snatching the newly captured World Heavyweight Championship from a war torn Big Show. This week, the new champion put the title on the line against a determined Worlds Largest Athlete, looking for payback and to take back what was once his.
With Mark Henry sitting in with the SmackDown announce team, the David and Goliath showdown unfolded, with the fierce might of the giant clashing full force with the technical skill of the reigning champ. In the height of the fury after escaping the LeBell Lock Big Show looked ready to finish things off with the WMD. However, Bryan was able to avoid the crippling assault, ducking out of the ring. There, he got into strong words with Henry, leading to a powerful shove by The Worlds Strongest Man that left the referee no choice but the call for the disqualification.
As a stunned and furious Big Show looked on in the ring, Daniel Bryan lucky to get out of the match with the World Heavyweight Championship still in his grasp raised his title high above his head, celebrated his controversial title defense.
Tamina def. Natalya (WATCH | PHOTOS) Channeling the wild side of her WWE Hall of Fame father Jimmy Superfly Snuka, an animalistic Tamina overcame Jim The Anvil Neidharts daughter Natalya with an explosive splash off the top rope.
Primo & Epico def. WWE Tag Team Champions Air Boom in a Title-free Match (PHOTOS) Amidst the bedlam of a high-octane tag team match-up, Rosa Mendes blocked Kofi Kingstons path as he looked ready to launch himself on Epico outside the ring. This distraction paved the way for Epico to grab the high-flyers legs and hurl him out to ringside with incredible velocity.
This did not stop the legal man Evan Bourne from gaining an advantage over Primo in the ring. However, as he attempted to hit the Air Bourne off the top rope, Epico struck again, pulling his cousin out of harms way as Bourne crashed to the canvas. This allowed Primo to pick up the victory, giving his team another win over the WWE Tag Team Champions.
Santino Marella def. Drew McIntyre (WATCH | PHOTOS) In a match that would decide whether Santino would become the new Assistant to the General Manager Theodore Long or whether Drew McIntyres job would truly be in jeopardy, The Italian Stallion would prevail. With both Superstars battling on the ropes, McIntyre ended up smashing his head into the steel ring post. This set up the infamous Cobra to strike, earning Santino the career-changing three-count. Sheamus felt the dual wrath of Jinder Mahal & Wade Barrett (WATCH | PHOTOS) One week after leaving Randy Orton injured at the bottom of an arena staircase, Wade Barrett came before the WWE Universe to declare The Viper "finished" the latest victim of The Barrett Barrage. But, when he insisted that he would triumph in the Royal Rumble Match, Sheamus emerged to dispute his claim, insulting the English Superstar in the process.
Just as things were heating up with the two intense Superstars, Jinder Mahal interrupted their stare down, slapping The Celtic Warrior. Mahal and Barrett proceeded to launch a vicious double assault on The Great White. Though Sheamus fought back with pure Irish tenacity, he could not overcome the odds ultimately suffering the Winds of Change by Barrett and the Punjabi Clutch by Jinder.
Hunico def. Ted DiBiase (WATCH | PHOTOS) Riding to the ring on a low-rider driven by his amigo Camacho, Hunico mocked Ted DiBiase, suggesting that he and his cohort might need to crash one of the DiBiase Posse Parties in the near future.
In the culmination of their heated battle, Hunico backed up his tough talk conquering DiBiase with an impressive submission maneuver-pin combination.
Hornswoggle def. Heath Slater in an Over-the-Top Rope Challenge (WATCH | PHOTOS) After being humiliated by Sheamus and Hornswoggle one week ago, Heath Slater challenged the latter to an Over-the-Top Rope Challenge. Although it looked like The One Man Southern Rock Band would find success in hurling his pint-sized opponent over the ropes and into the loss column, Hornswoggle latched onto his long, red hair at the last second, causing Slater to plummet to defeat.
When Slater jumped back into the ring to try and get his revenge after the bell, his former WWE Tag Team Champion partner Justin Gabriel came to the rescue, dropping the 450 Splash on his old ally.
Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes def. Booker T in an Intercontinental Championship Match (WATCH | PHOTOS) Heading into their blockbuster title rematch, both Cody Rhodes and Booker T possessed one victory over each other the former at WWE TLC and the latter on Raw several weeks ago. In the height of their earth-shattering third encounter, the Intercontinental Champion would ultimately prevail. Shortly after escaping the three-count attempt that resulted from the Master of the Spin-A-Roonies signature scissor kick, Rhodes roared back, hitting his own springboard kick to earn a monumental victory over a decorated WWE legend.
