"That's what a real champion do!" I think Booker may be a bad influence on Del Rio...

Ooh, Kidd/Gabriel. Was a fine match on Superstars. I'm sure it won't be as long on TV, but should still be good.

"Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww shucky-ducky quack quack!" Pretty much sums up Booker T as a commentator, doesn't it? And yeah, Rhodes did good. Wouldn't mind seeing him challenge Orton before too long. Maybe it could be part of his campaign to restore the lineage of the Intercontinental Title, to try and hold it and the World Heavyweight Title simultaneously, to show it itself is on World Title level.

Nothing says 'phoning it in' quite like a battle royal... Potentially interesting Rhodes/Orton confrontation here, though.

Hey, when did the inside of the World Heavyweight Title start being red? I first noticed it after Christian won it, and thought it was just one of those little unique changes that a champion adds to it, but it still seems to be there now that Orton holds it again... Also; "I am certainly no Christian." ...Does he realize that he said this?

I like that they censored it when Tenay tried to name it as the AAA Championship. Doesn't seem very working agreement-y to be doing that...

Kinda fun trying to figure out who's who...

I dunno, the crowd seemed pretty into it, and I always kinda figure that the majority of the crowds are of that 98%. As was stated, I don't really think they used too much inside stuff - people in the crowd may not have known about the infamous vanilla midget comment, sure, but I'm not sure if they needed to. It tells them that Nash tried to say Eddie couldn't cut it, and as Punk's the face and Nash is the heel, the crowd would immediately buy that, plus Nash didn't even argue it... and the crowd knows that was a despicable thing to do, so in theory they'd boo him for it even if they weren't previously aware of it.

Because Punk's done the same thing twice. Whereas if Cena ever won MITB I suspect he'd take the Daniel Bryan/RVD approach. Makes sense to me.

Post-match attack - think Del Rio's going to 'injure' Rey and give him some much-needed time off... Hm, or not, don't think it really got that far before Cena made the save.

I think that Tornado DDT was actually botched but it looked damned cool all the same.

Someone on Twitter noted that Otunga and McGuillicutty (dunno if I'm spelling that right) were dressed like the World's Greatest Tag Team when they were coming out. Didn't notice it then, but they're right - Otunga had the sunglasses and the hood like Benjamin, and McGuillicutty had on one of those caps that Haas often wore. Weird...

Funny how the ones holding the titles are probably the weakest team of that bunch...

Yeah, and Kingston/Bourne seem like they'd make a good regular team if they want to go that way. They're both popular, talented faces that aren't doing much singles-wise, so why not?

Announcers seem to be calling for a boost to the tag division. Hm. I've heard rumors that the brass wants to do just that.

Hm. It seems like Vickie may be dropping Dolph for Swagger... or just pairing with him too. Could be interesting.

Swagger had a lot of trouble getting Riley up for that Doctor Bomb. Kinda surprised by this outcome, as Swagger never wins and Riley almost never loses. No idea what the point of using JR's hat is here...

We have five people on commentary right now. Can't help but feel this won't be good...

She would probably have had the easiest access to it...

I feel we're setting up for a whodunnit here - as to who sent that text. The most obvious would be Del Rio, which of course makes me think that it isn't him, so hm...

That had to have been the most comfortable landing of any suplex I've ever seen...

Hm, it may very well be Miz, now that you mention it. He DID say that he'd be making an impact at SSlam. This would certainly be the perfect opportunity to do just that. What would that lead to, though? Would Miz move to SmackDown?

Hm. Sounds like Xian's set up to get some help for himself at SS... For what it's worth, I've heard Edge will be there for SummerSlam Axxess or however that's spelled, but isn't supposed to actually appear on the show...

They could do like how HHH/Taker did earlier in the year and have one of those silent promos that somehow tells everyone everything they need to know...
