Punk got in the ring to tell Heyman he's not going anywhere and he will be there in his corner to see him beat The Rock this Sunday.  Heyman told Punk he doesn't want to be viewed as a martyr, and Punk should let him go.  Punk said it won't happen, and he will witness him become championa again on Sunday.  The two hugged in the ring.  Heyman started saying "Best in the World" over and over, as Punk proclaimed them a team.

Vickie Guerrero was backstage on the phone when Paul Heyman barged into the office.  He said he wanted a stipulation added to Punk vs Rock for Sunday.  The phone rang and Mr. McMahon was on the line from his hospital room.  Vickie put Mr. McMahon on speakerphone so Heyman could talk.  He said he had a stipulation, and apologized for Brock Lesnar's actions on Raw two weeks ago.  McMahon told him to shut up and asked the stipulation.  Heyman said if Rock is DQ'd or counted out, Punk gets the title back.  McMahon contemplated it, then agreed before hanging up on Heyman.

Earlier today Alex Riley and Yoshi Tatsu were shown backstage talking about what happened to Big Show and how he got "slimed" with orange paint by Alberto Del Rio.  Big Show barged in and was enraged then threw both guys around.  The c amera went to break after Riley was shown layed out.

After break, Big Show came to the ring to cut a promo.  Matt Striker went up to him and asked "Big Show, do you feel..." but couldn't get the question out before Show gave him a huge punch to the face, leaving Striker on the mat.  Show looked down at the mat, then started pacing around as if he was thinking about what he would say.  He kept doing so then raised a finger like he was about to start, but didn't say anything.  He kept breathing and thinking, but never spoke, then finally dropped the mic and left the ring.

Zack Ryder was already in the ring for action after a commercial break.  Jack Swagger came to the ring with a new associate that Lawler called Zeb Coulter (Dutch Mantell).

Jack Swagger defeated Zack Ryder via submission.  The match lasted about 2 and a half minutes.  Swagger was able to lock Zack into the ankle lock submission to make him tap out.  Post-match, Swagger delivered a speech along with Zeb Coulter.  Coulter talked about he and Swagger's dad being together in a bunker in Nam with bullets flying by.  He said he now sees a country with people who don't look or talk like he does, and he wonders how to get rid of them.  He said he and Swagger know the truth and will "re-take this country."

Backstage Teddy Long and Booker T discussed Swagger, agreeing he seems to be on a mission, so they gave him a spot in the Chamber match.  Dolph Ziggler came walking up with Big E and AJ Lee.  He said Jericho does not deserve a title shot after he ended his contract.  Ziggler said he wants a spot in the chamber match to end Jericho.  Booker agreed he could have it, if he beats someone tonight - Kane.

The Miz defeated Cody Rhodes due to DQ.  Antonio Cesaro was out on commentary, but then got involved when Miz and Rhodes were out of the ring.  Miz hit a big boot on Cesaro, causing Cesaro to recover and smash Miz into the ringpost.  That got the ref to call for the DQ.

Cesaro unbuttoned his jacket then hit an airplane spin on Miz to repeatedly hit Miz's back and shoulders into the nearby guardrail.  Cesaro then grabbed his title belt and talked trash to the crowd as he left the scene.

Brodus Clay and Tensai defeated Primo and Epico via pinfall.  Clay suplexed Primo across the ring.  Epico tagged in and got slammed into the corner, then splashed on.  Tensai tagged in to hit a big butt splash on Epico for the pinfall win.  Post-match, Clay, Cameron and Naomi started dancing.  Tensai didn't want to, but eventually joined in.  Rosa Mendes got in the ring and got in Naomi's face, but Naomi knocked her to the outside, then Camera did a baseball slide dropkick through the ropes to kick Rosa down on the outside.


The Shield came to the ring to speak about Cena and how they are there in WWE to rectify the injustices he's been getting away with, smiling away in his "little bubble" all day.  He said Cena paved the way for other guys like Ryback and Sheamus in "the system," but they will avenge that this Sunday at the PPV.  Ambrose said they will walk in together and walk out together on Sunday, but Cena and his team might not walk out alive.  Reigns then yelled at the crowd "Believe in The Shield!" before taunting them about where their hero was now.

The lights went out all of a sudden, just like Shield has done many times before.  When the lights came back on, Cena, Sheamus and Ryback were in the ring and started brawling with Shield.  They knocked them out of the ring, then Cena went to fight rollins up the steps in the arena.  Ryback and Sheamus were shown chasing Shield into the crowd as well.  Ryback started up a "Feed Me More" chant with the crowd.

Alberto Del Rio defeated Damien Sandow via submission in a non-title match.  Del Rio won the match in just over a minute.  Sandow started off in control, but did a bit too much posing, which allowed Del Rio get back into it.  He hit a standing kick to Sandow's jaw for a near fall.  Del Rio got the crowd chanting "Si, Si Si!" and then put the cross armbreaker on Sandow to make him tap out.  Post-match Del Rio cut a promo saying Show gave the best speech of his life earlier because he didn't say anything.  He said he will finish Show this Sunday and then Show can go anywhere else in the tour bus.  Del Rio said on the other hand he'll only have one place to go - WrestleMania!

Backstage, Wade Barrett was on his way down the hall for a match with Kofi Kingston.  Out of nowhere, Bo Dallas rushed in and attacked Barrett, sending him into some equipment.  Refs came in to pull Bo away before commercial break.

Wade Barrett defeated Kofi Kingston via pinfall in a non-title match.  Barrett hit an elbow to Kofi's head with Kofi trapped in the ring apron cover.  Barrett then got back into the ring and pinned Kofi for the win.

Kane defeated Dolph Ziggler by pinfall to enter the Elimination Chamber match's final spot.  Late in this one, AJ tried to distract Kane on the apron.  Confusion came after that moment, which ended up backfiring on Ziggler as he got chokeslammed down by Kane and pinned.  Kane celebrated the win with AJ helping Ziggler with Big E glaring at the Big Red Monster.


The Rock came out to do a promo, with the crowd excited for him and giving him multiple chants before he did the "Finally...The Rock has come back to Nash-ville!" bit.  He continued on with a story about how when he was 15 he was a genetic freak in high school who couldn't get any girls because they thought he was an undercover cop.  He brought up how he went to a bar listening to country music at age 15, and in walked a magical person, not Jeff Jarrett or Willie Nelson, but a crackhead.  He said the crackhed sold him a car for just a few backs.  Rock said it turned out someone was in the back of the car he bought, another crackhead, so he thought the car must be stolen.  Rock said he ditched "that b---h" in a BK parking lot at 2 AM, then walked to Tootsie's Lounge.

Rock said it teaches two lessons: Don't ever buy a car from a crackhead, and don't be like Rock at age 15.  He said be more like Rock at age 25 when he got his first match at Nashville Fairgrounds.  Then he had the dream of one day becoming WWE champion.  He said he's champ again today and will still be after Sunday.  That brought out CM Punk and Paul Heyman to Punk's music.  Rock joked about them recreating a love scene from "Twilight" and then welcomed them to come down to the ring.

Heyman and Punk talked things over on stage.  Rock too off his t-shirt in the ring, ready to fight.  Punk went down the ramp with Heyman telling him he had his back, so Punk hit the ring.  Both guys hit punches on one another, but Rock got the upperhand.  He hit a huge Spinebuster and then set up for People's Elbow, but Heyman tripped Rock from the outside.  Rock stumbled backwards and Punk grabbed him to hit GTS, leaving Rock layed out on the mat.  Punk then took the title belt and posed with it for a bit while staring at Rock.  Punk left the ring and went to top of the stage.

Punk, on the mic said "story time is over."  He said each time Rock wants to bring it, he's just going to take it.  Punk slammed the mic down and celebrated some more with the WWE title.  Rock was shown in the ring struggling to get up as the show went off the air.
