Summary . While Christian was trying to convince Teddy Long to give him “ one more match ” for the World Heavyweight Championship , Raw ’ s CM Punk and his Pipebomb Microphone decided to join the conversation – igniting a war of words between the two Superstars . After openly bashing Raw ’ s Interim Raw GM John Laurinaitis , The Second City Saint – backed by an approving WWE Universe – suggested he and Christian battle it out . Teddy Long concurred , making the match official for the main event . In the culmination of a whirlwind match against the WWE Tag Team Champions , “ Awesome Truth ” hit Kofi Kingston for their explosive Little Jimmy Finale for the huge victory . Following the match , The Miz and R - Truth addressed John Cena ’ s invitation to The Rock to be his tag team partner against them at Survivor Series . The outspoken duo made it clear that if The Great One does accept and the two charismatic Superstars don ’ t destroy each other first , they would finish the job . The self - initiated “ Barrett Barrage ” by English Superstar Wade Barrett roared on , with a triumph over Trent Barreta . After punishing his determined opponent with his well - documented arsenal , he finished him off with Wasteland . While Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes sat in with the announce team , his adversary Randy Orton had his hands full in a hard - fought match - up with Dolph Ziggler – with Jack Swagger banned from ringside . This included an earth - shattering superkick by the bleach blond Superstar that nearly earned him the pinfall . But , in the end , The Viper found a way to strike the final blow , hitting the United States Champion with the RKO . After being unmasked by Sin Cara ( Azul ) one week ago , Sin Cara ( Negro ) showed his face to the WWE Universe , identifying himself Hunico . Daniel Bryan once trained with WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels . While Tyson Kidd was the last graduate of the famous Hart Family Dungeon , training with Hall of Famer Bret Hart . An argument between the two former pupils over the release of “ Bret Hart vs . Shawn Michaels : WWE ’ s Greatest Rivalries ” DVD resulted in a match between them – in which Mr . Money in the Bank reversed the Sharpshooter to defeat Kidd with the LeBell Lock . Just five days after the World Heavyweight Title Match between Mark Henry and Big Show resulted in a collapsed ring at Vengeance , The World ’ s Largest Athlete was ready for more . Henry soon interrupted the giant , denying him any possibility of a rematch , before threatening to get in the ring and finish the job right then and there . Although Big Show raised his fists for the confrontation , The World ’ s Strongest Champion decided not to cross through the ropes . As CM Punk looked ready to put Christian away with the GTS , WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio suddenly emerged – distracting The Second City Saint long enough for his crafty opponent to regain the advantage . The disruption from The Mexican Aristocrat did not stop there . Later in the match – as his personal ring announcer Ricardo Rodriguez jumped up on the ring apron to take the referee ’ s attention – Del Rio pushed Punk off the top rope . Christian seized the moment , poised to hit the spear on his war - torn foe . However , before he could , Sheamus charged to the ring to even the odds . Although The Celtic Warrior did not enter the ring or physically interfere with the bout , his presence caused Christian to take his eye off the ball , giving Punk the opening he needed to finish him with the GTS .
