JBL and Cole were ringside to start the show, with JBL saying he was filling in for The Miz who will be in action tonight.  They cut right to Miz in the ring to start his promo.  He began talking about how he's normally the "most must hear commentator, but tonight he'll be wrestling."  Miz was suddenly interrupted by Ziggler who came to the ring with his MITB briefcase, bragging about his accomplishments.  He said tonight Miz will be outclassed in every possible way.

Miz brought up his own accomplishments, but Ziggler said "we've heard that a thousand times," and Miz said "because it's true."  He listed off main eventing Wrestlemania, beating Cena, and winning the WWE Championship.  He said Ziggler carries around the MITB case like its his "blankey."  Ziggler told Miz he had his shot, but now he's the future.  Ziggler said in the future, fans will look back on this week as how Ziggler cemented his spot as the top superstar in the business.  Miz accused Ziggler of being scared to cash in the MITB briefcase, because when he fails he'll just have an ugly, old broad, a baid hairdo and a teal T-shirt.

Ziggler was upset by the comments and slapped Miz in the face.  Miz simply dropped his mic and looked to the crowd.  The ref came over and Miz mouthed "ring the bell now."  The match was on.

Dolph Ziggler defeated The Miz via pinfall.  The match went on with plenty of back and forth offense from both superstars.  At one point, Ziggler tried to jump on Miz for the Zig Zag, but Miz grabbed the ropes to shake him off.  He followed with a schoolboy pinfall for a 2 count.  Ziggler then avoided a charging Miz near the exposed steel turnbuckle.  Miz hit his chest against the turnbuckle hard, then Ziggler hit Zig Zag and got the winning pinfall.

Post-match, Matt Striker tried to do an in-ring interview, but Dolph took the mic and told him to beat it.  Ziggler said every week he backs up what he says he will do.  He claimed to be better than anyone on the roster and anyone in the crowd.  He proclaimed "I am the best, and I'm just getting started."  He told Cena he wasn't through with him by a longshot and will make history by finishing him.  He said anyone who steps up to him will be history.

Wade Barrett defeated Justin Gabriel via pinfall.  During the match, JBL talked about how Gabriel will be a future star and Barrett will be a future World Champion.  Gabriel connected on a springboard moonsault from the side ropes.  He had a near fall after that, then slammed Barrett to the mat and went to the ropes for the 450 Splash.  Barrett got to his feet and tripped up Gabriel causing him to fall off the corner.  Barrett connected on the Bullhammer elbow for the pinfall win.

They showed the Raw Rebound which recapped the incidents from this past Monday's Raw where Cena and AJ made out in the ring in front of Vickie Guerrero, until Ziggler attacked.  They also showed AJ confronting Ziggler in the men's locker room where he berated her and she attacked him.  Cena rushed in to pull her off, but Ziggler attacked him.  Cena fought back but Ziggler kicked him in his bad leg, and then tackled Cena through a nearby shower stall area to continue the beatdown.

Cole announced that Cena's been tweeting that despite the torn meniscus in his knee he'll be a guest on MizTV on this Friday's SmackDown.

Damien Sandow's music hit and he came out to beg the crowd's indulgence for a promo.  He said he could no longer standby as the masses washed themselves in such filth.  He said next week he'll have the opportunity to finally rid the WWE of its most offensive delinquent: John Cena.  He called Cena a disease that must be purged from WWE.  He declared that John Cena is WWE's ultimate false idol, then told the crowd "you're welcome."

Cole plugged the big match for next week's Main Event with John Cena going one-on-one against Damien Sandow.  JBL said if Sandow's that smart he'd stay away from Cena when he's furious.

Later, Punk went for GTS but Sheamus countered and put the Texas Cloverleaf on.  Punk was near the bottom rope though and managed to grab it to break the hold.  Later still, Sheamus managed to catch a charging Punk and hit the Irish Curse backbreaker.  However, as Sheamus rushed at him with the Brogue Kick, Punk ducked it and tripped Sheamus into the exposed middle turnbuckle.  Sheamus hit it and fell back.  Heyman yelled "cover him" and then Punk grabbed Sheamus' legs and sat on him for the winning pin.  Cole noted that Punk grabbed the tights to secure the pin.

Post-match, Matt Striker got in the ring to ask Sheamus about the end result to the match.  Sheamus took the mic from Striker saying he keeps hearing Punk asking for respect, and there's a reason he keeps asking and not getting it.  Sheamus vowed to get his hands on Punk again and give him The Brogue Kick.

Josh Matthews interviewed CM Punk back in the locker room about the controversial finish to the match before.  Heyman said Punk soundly defeated the World Heavyweight Champion just now, then asked what Matthews needs him to do to give him the respect he deserves.  Matthews said the WWE Universe wants Punk to face Cena at Hell in a Cell this month.  Heyman reiterated that Punk is "Best in the world" then told Matthews to just leave.
