Place was pretty packed. Saw some empty seats.
Evan Bourne beat Chavo with the Air Bourne to start off things. Good match. Before the match, Chavo was making fun of a fan in the front. Good work from both guys to start the show. Crowd doing Evan chants.
Mark Henry comes out with sling and apologizes for not being able to wrestle but said if he is booked, he is at the show no matter what. The Miz comes out whining about losing the US belt and the Tag Belts. Miz and Henry have a verbal exchange and Henry body drops the Miz with his one good arm
Bellas come out and do a contest asking the stipulation to the Cena/Batista match. A young kid in the front gets it correct: I Quit
MVP beat Cody Rhodes. Ok match. There were some good moves by both guys.
Wade Barrett and David Otunga beat Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel in a NXT rookies tag match. I thought the match was so so. Nothing special
Eve retained the Diva Championship over Maryse. I just thought this match was sloppy. Just did not like this at all.
The Hart Dynasty retained the Unified Tag Belts over SES which consisted of Luke Gallows and the masked guy. Awesome match. Prior to the match, Gallows cut a promo saying C M Punk would not be there because no one in Cincinnati was worth saving. SES got a lot of heat. At one point in the match Serena and Natalya got into it. Finish was the Hart Attack. I really enjoyed the match
Intermission
Bellas come out and throw shirts in the air. The ring announcer announces a return date of 9/13 for a Raw taping in Cincinnati.
Drew McIntyre retained the Intercontinental Title over Kofi Kingston. Decent match. Prior to the match, Drew cut a promo talking about how he was backed by Vince McMahon and he does not understand why people hate him. Fans were really behind Kofi. I have to say though, Drew is just terrible. He is just not great in the ring. End came when Drew pinned Kofi and held onto the rope where the ref could not see.
Kane beat Jack Swagger via DQ in a bout for the World Heavyweight Championship. Prior to the match, Swagger cuts a promo with his "Jack Swagger Facts" and then starts doing push ups till Kane arrives. Lots of stalling by Swagger. Once the match got going, it was pretty good. End came where Swagger was going to hit Kane with the belt and the ref tried to get him to stop and Swagger refused and did make some sort of attempt and he got DQ'd. Kane chokeslams Swagger post match and puts the belt over the fallen Swagger.
Main Event: Randy Orton and John Cena beat Batista and Sheamus When Cena made his entrance, the place came unglued. Huge face pop. Main Event was awesome. I really enjoyed it. Batista refuses to fight Cena at the beginning. He stretches his legs and does all sorts of stalling. Cena eventually starts playing the babyface in peril and Randy Orton is on the apron just wanting to get in. Cena finally tags in Orton. The place goes bonkers. Orton eventually tags in Cena and the end came where Orton gets in and gives Sheamus the RKO and Batista knocks Orton down and then Cena gives Batista the Attitude Adjuster for the pin and the win. Post match Cena and Orton pose. Cena poses with the belt and Orton does his atlas pose. After Orton left, Cena went around the ring and shook hands and signed autographs.
The card for the show had changed a million times, but I thought it was overall a good show.

The place was completely sold out.
1. Evan Bourne vs Chavo Guerrero
Great back and forth match for an opener, they have great chemistry together, Bourne's Shooting Star still amazes me
Winner- Evan Bourne
2. Interview segment with Mark Henry
The Miz comes out after Henry talks for awhile, its ends with Henry giving Miz a Worlds Strongest One Arm Slam (He was in a sling).
3. MVP vs Cody Rhodes
Another Good back and forth match with MVP picking up the victory with the Playmaker
Winner- MVP
4. NXT Rookies Tag Match
David Otunga and Wade Barrett vs Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel
This was the worst match of the night in my opinion. More people left to go to the stands and restroom then the divas match and that's saying something. The crowd just couldn't get into this one.
Winners- David Otunga and Wade Barrett
5. Divas Championship
Eve defending against Maryse
This was one of two warm up matches for the PPV on Sunday, they worked about as well as they could together giving both their in ring abilities, Maryse was super over with the cincy crowd, Eve botched the finish and got booed heavily, until she made the pin.
Winner- Still Divas Champ Eve
6. Unified Tag Team Championship
Hart Dynasty w/Natalya vs Straight Edge Society
This was match of the night at that point as they put on a great match. No CM Punk so it was Luke and The Masked Man (Joey Matthews) with Serena representing the SES. Natalya and Serena get into it in this match much to the delight of the crowd.
Winners- Still Tag Champs Hart Dynasty
Intermission
7. Intercontinental Championship Match
Drew McIntyre vs Kofi Kingston
Another warm up match for their match at over the limit, the match was really fast paced, action spilled all over ringside and the entrance way, Solid effort by both men and I'm looking forward to their PPV bout.
Winner- Still IC Champ Drew McIntyre
8. World Heavyweight Championship
Jack Swagger vs Kane
Swagger enters to monster heat and gets on the mic saying much of the same he's been boasting about in recent weeks. A funny note about swagger is during his entrance he did his run around in the ring and he tagged the referee which me and my buddy found hilarious. Kane interrupts Swagger and the match slowly gets under way. Lots of Stalling by Swagger, Match ends in DQ and Kane chokeslams Jack to a huge pop.
Winner by DQ- Kane
9. Main Event Tag Match
WWE Champion John Cena and Randy Orton vs Sheamus and Batista
This was Match of the Night in my opinion. Crowd was heavily into and all four were having fun putting on a show. Batista during his entrance was mocking Sheamus being so white he would put his hands of his face to shield his eyes lol. In what could be Batista last house show appearance it was a good bout to go home with. Match ends with a RKO to Sheamus and a Attitude Adjustment to Batista for the win.
Winners- John Cena and Randy Orton
After the Match, Cena and Orton celebrate in the ring by shaking hands and hugging then going the ropes to do their signature poses to send the crowd home happy. Cena slapped hands all around ringside.
All in all a Fantastic House show and a very raucous crowd. Very fun night
