World Champions Prevail Triple Threats; Batista is Unleashed

Triple Threat Match for The World Heavyweight Championship: (C) The Undertaker vs. The Big Show vs. Chris Jericho. As I have mentioned before, Show has no fear of The Undertaker seeing as they were once tag team partners during the Attitude Era; also, it's easy to be fearless when you are the World's Largest Athlete. Chris Jericho, on the other hand, has been acting out against his partner, because Show has been constantly undermining his chances in the match. Instead of working together as the Unified Tag Team that they are, they fell a part at the seams. At the final moments of the match, Jericho locked Taker in the Walls of Jericho, which was broken by Big Show. Then Taker attempted to Tombstone Jericho, but was attacked by Show, who was soon locked in Hell's Gates. With the Big Show tapping out to Hell's Gate, who in the locker room will be man enough to challenge the Deadman?

Grudge Match: Rey Mysterio vs. Batista. In this feud, Batista blames Mysterio for costing him the World Heavyweight Title at Bragging Rights (you see how it comes full circle?). And after a vicious onslaught by Batista following the Fatal Four-Way, Mysterio chose to embarrass Batista in the final weeks leading up to Survivor Series. I say, if you know that you are going to die at the hands of the Papa Pump Wannabe, then you might as well get some laughs along the way. Yet, only the anti-Mysterio fans found something to laugh about as Batista dealt a spear, a spine buster, and 3 Batista Bombs before the referee chose to call for the bell, because Mysterio was unable to compete. But, because Mysterio signed the Hold Harmless Agreement, Batista added a spine buster over a steel chair as a complimentary 'Screw You.' Mysterio was carried out on a stretcher, while Batista has now been Unleashed.

Triple Threat Match for The WWE Championship: (C) John Cena vs. Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels. This match had the worst build up because, for the past month, all these three competitors did was joke around. DX was more concerned over Hornswoggle than the WWE Title. DX even stated that they would not let this title match divide them. Are you kidding me? This is the most coveted prize in all of Sports Entertainment. At least in the WHT Triple Threat, Jericho and Show actually threw together a hell of a promo, which escalated last SmackDown, with Jericho grabbing hold of the title while his opponents were laying in the ring. But what was great about the whole DX angle is what happened at the very start of the match, a superkick to Triple H. This set the whole tone for the match, because play time was over, and Michaels was dead set on becoming the WWE Champion. Shawn Michaels has not been the WWE Champion since the infamous Montreal Screw Job, or has been the World Heavyweight Champion since the 1st ever Elimination Chamber in 2002. It would have been nice to have Shawn Michaels win the WWE Championship at the Survivor Series, to wash away the controversy of that Montreal night, twelve years ago. The match was one for the ages, but with a typical John Cena ending; seeing as he is notorious for pulling a win out of thin air, especially when everyone else does all the work. Not even The Game, Triple H, who pinned Cena the RAW before Bragging Rights was able to overcome The Champ. HBK struck H with the super kick once again; but, in turn, Cena adjusted Shawn’s attitude onto the fallen Cerebral Assassin. Finally, with both men down, Cena chose to cover Triple H and retained his title.
