- Kelly Kelly picked a kid from the crowd to be a guest bellringer.
- WWE Intercontinental Champion Santino Marella defeated Kofi Kingston. Santino cut a funny promo before the match, singing a song to the tune of “New York, New York.” Santino promised to win with a new move, the Mazaradi Clutch. Santino ended up winning by pinfall with a roll-up.
- John Cena and Batista defeated Kane and Chris Jericho. Y2J came out first and cut a heel promo on Shawn and Rebecca Michaels. Cena and Batista posed on the ropes together to a huge amount of pyro. The match had all the usual spots. The end came when Batista speared Kane then Cena tossed Jericho over the top rope and got the pin. Cena went in the crowd to celebrate afterwards and Batista held up a sign that read “Batista Hates Cancer” from the first row.
- WWE World champ CM Punk defeated JBL in a Steel Cage match. JBL did mic work saying it was the greatest night of MSG history because it would be the day NY’s favorite son JBL comes home. He said that he understands NY needs a savior and it will be JBL. When Punk came to the ring, he stopped to hug ROH owner Cary Silkin and Larry Sweeney who were at ringside. Punk ended up hitting the floor first and then hitting the GTS on the floor. Punk celebrated after the match around ringside with the fans, limping slightly.
The show was a legitimate advance sellout. WWE announced a 12/28 RAW brand return, one day after ROH’s Final Battle 2008 at the Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC.
