Fatal 4 - Way 2010 Fatal 4 - Way is a professional wrestling pay - per - view event produced by World Wrestling Entertainment ( WWE ) , which took place on June 20 , 2010 at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale , New York . The concept of the show is based around two championship matches in the card that will be contested as Fatal Four - Way matches . Background . Fatal 4 - Way will feature professional wrestling matches involving different wrestlers from pre - existing scripted feuds , plots , and storylines that will be played out on World Wrestling Entertainment ' s ( WWE ) television programs . Wrestlers will portray a villain or a hero as they follow a series of events that build tension , and culminate into a wrestling match or series of matches . The main feud on Raw is a Fatal Four Way match for the WWE Championship between defending champion John Cena , Randy Orton , Edge and Sheamus . After Cena retained his title against Batista in an " I Quit " Match at Over the Limit , Sheamus attacked Cena . On the next edition of Raw , Bret Hart was announced as the new Raw General Manager . Before Batista could cut a promo , Bret Hart interrupted and said that if Batista wanted his rematch , then he would have to qualify . Batista claimed he couldn ' t wrestle because of an injury and refused to fight . Hart then let Orton qualify by forfeit , with Edge and Sheamus winning their respective qualifying matches to be part of the match . Edge and Orton had previously faced off at Over the Limit . The main event for the SmackDown brand is a Fatal Four Way match for the World Heavyweight Championship between Jack Swagger , Big Show , CM Punk and Rey Mysterio . At Over the Limit , Big Show defeated Swagger by disqualification but did not win the title since it cannot change hands on a disqualification , and as a result qualified for the Fatal 4 - Way match , with The Undertaker and CM Punk winning their respective qualifying matches . Later , Kane found his half - brother Undertaker in a vegetative state , unable to compete and taken out of the match . A SmackDown battle royal was put in place to determine Undertaker ' s replacement in the match , which was won by Rey Mysterio , meaning that he would face Punk in five pay - per - views in a row .
