 Most of the negative comments centered around the following World Heavyweight Championship match, which ended in disqualification immediately following a double countout in the preceding Orton-Edge match due to injury. McNichol described it "a weak ending in a normal show", but especially when the Orton-Edge match "had ended in such circumstances". Bishop agreed, only awarding the match 2.5 out of ten and said that the match "hurt the show in a big, big way". Kevin Eck of The Baltimore Sun also criticized the booking of the finish, remarking that "Swagger came off looking like anything but a credible champion". Wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer also criticized the World Heavyweight Championship match, remarking that it was "almost an insult as a PPV main event". Bishop stated that the show was "hampered by several stoppages for blood" and a predictable ending to the main event between Cena and Batista. McNichol also criticized the main event as "overbooked and excessive", while Eck remarked that it had a "predictable result".
