Swagger battled Finlay in a tune-up match as Swagger prepares for Extreme Rules Pay-Per-View. The unified tag team champs looked to defeat another one of many tag teams who are looking to win the titles. And John Cena looked to build upon his success from Raw as he faced Legacy's Ted Dibiase.

Primo & Carlito Colon vs. Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin

In a non-title match the unified tag champs The Colons battled the team formerly known as "The World's Greatest Tag Team". Benjamin had the advantage with Primo down in an armlock. Primo fought to his feet and punched at Shelton, but Shelton threw him to the ropes then tossed him up high above his head. All of a sudden, Cryme Tyme's music came on and the tag team emerged from backstage with mics in hand. Cryme Tyme started speaking, distracting Benjamin who almost got pinned. From there, Primo tagged out to Carlito while Shelton tagged Haas. Carlito erupted against Haas, with a bunch of moves including an elbow off the ropes. Cryme Tyme showed up at ringside and Shelton started yelling from the apron at them. Carlito came off the ropes, knocked Shelton off the apron, then flipped over Haas in the ring and hit him with the Backstabber for the win.

Winners: Carlito & Primo Colon win via pinfall over Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas.

Finlay vs. Jack Swagger

With the match under control, Swagger had Finlay up on his shoulder and hit an impressive shoulder slam. While the ref checked on Finlay, Swagger went over and grabbed the shilaleigh. The ref spotted it and yanked it away, then Finlay got an inside cradle pin for a 2 count. From there, Finlay tried for a Celtic Cross, but Swagger held onto the top rope to prevent it. Swagger grabbed Finlay fast and hit the Gutwrench Powerbomb to get the pinfall victory.

Winner: Jack Swagger wins via pinfall over Finlay.

John Cena vs. Ted Dibiase

Early on Dibiase took control as he hammered away on Cena, put him in various submission holds and dropped a fist on Cena. Cena retaliated using his shoulder block and hip tosses to take Dibiase down. Cena seemed to be in control of things but once again Dibiase battled back using a high dropkick. Cena turned things back in his favor with the trademark Five Knuckle Shuffle. Despite hoisting Dibiase up for an Attitude Adjustment, Dibiase escaped. Cena came off the corner with a legdrop on Dibiase and eventually locked him into the STF to make Dibiase tap out.

Winner: John Cena wins via submission over Ted Dibiase.
