<h3>Storylines</h3>

The event featured eight <a href="/facts/Mock_combat/0h0vrHpy">professional wrestling matches</a> with outcomes predetermined by WWE script writers. The matches featured wrestlers portraying their <a href="/facts/Gimmick_(professional_wrestling)/1cNvVmg0">characters</a> in planned storylines that took place before, during and after the event. All wrestlers were from one of the WWE's three brands – Raw, SmackDown, and ECW – the three storyline divisions in which WWE assigned its employees.

<h3>Dark match</h3>
Prior to the pay-per-view, <a href="/facts/The_Col%25C3%25B3ns_(2002%25E2%2580%25932010)/EqXdMJw0">The Colóns</a> (<a href="/facts/Carlito_(wrestler)/VV1Uc3k2">Carlito</a> and <a href="/facts/Eddie_Col%25C3%25B3n/zC5CqMzB">Primo</a>) defeated <a href="/facts/John_Morrison_and_The_Miz/NHEFHBhS">John Morrison and The Miz</a> in a dark match.

<h3>Main card</h3>
The first televised match was for the ECW Championship, featuring the champion Matt Hardy versus Mark Henry, who was accompanied by his <a href="/facts/Manager_(professional_wrestling)/XFx0oh8w">manager</a> <a href="/facts/Tony_Atlas/yleyD0yp">Tony Atlas</a>. During the start of the match, Henry overpowered Matt Hardy with attacks. Hardy tried to lock in a <a href="/facts/Professional_wrestling_holds/RgHNyIk4">Figure-four leglock</a>, only to be pushed face first onto the second turnbuckle by Henry. Henry then gained control over Hardy. During the match, Henry was able to lock in the <a href="/facts/Professional_wrestling_holds/RgHNyIk4">bearhug</a>, but Hardy countered into a <a href="/facts/Professional_wrestling_holds/RgHNyIk4">sunset flip</a>. Hardy was able to execute the <a href="/facts/Powerslam/1WNaF99e">Side Effect</a> and went for the <a href="/facts/Cutter_(professional_wrestling)/8dMGWCBW">Twist of Fate</a>, only to be dropped chest first onto the mat. The end of the match involved Henry going for the <a href="/facts/Powerslam/1WNaF99e">World's Strongest Slam</a>, only to have Hardy counter it with another Twist of Fate for the win.
After that, <a href="/facts/Beth_Phoenix/xQTPhqLl">Beth Phoenix</a> faced <a href="/facts/Candice_Michelle/sM0043kb">Candice Michelle</a> for the <a href="/facts/WWE_Women%2527s_Championship_(1956%25E2%2580%25932010)/uKGbEL1w">WWE Women's Championship</a>. At one point, <a href="/facts/Santino_Marella/t7lTMbxl">Santino Marella</a> pulled Phoenix out of the ring while Candice went for the pin. However, the distraction allowed Phoenix to get the advantage over Candice. The end of the match involved Candice going for the <a href="/facts/Facebuster/n1khFDcJ">Candywrapper</a>, only to have Phoenix counter it into a <a href="/facts/Facebuster/n1khFDcJ">Glam Slam</a> to pin Candice for the win.
Next, Rey Mysterio wrestled Kane with the stipulation that if Mysterio lost he would have to unmask. During the start of the match Mysterio went for a running attack only to be big booted by Kane. Kane tried to rip Mysterio's mask off only for Mysterio to roll out of the ring. A spot in the match was Mysterio going for a diving hurracanrana only to be caught by Kane who went for a powerbomb, only to be headscissored over the top rope. The end of the match was Mysterio looking to dive to the outside onto Kane, but Kane attacking him with a chair shot in mid-air caused a disqualification. Mysterio's victory allowed him to keep his mask.
The fourth match was a #1 contender's match between Batista and John "Bradshaw" Layfield (JBL). Batista performed a powerslam before attempting a spear, but JBL blocked with a big boot. On a second try moments later, Batista executed the <a href="/facts/Professional_wrestling_throws/oPfege4v">spinebuster</a> and ended it with the <a href="/facts/Powerbomb/2E2XHxs8">Batista Bomb</a> to win.
The first one of three upper card matches was a <a href="/facts/Singles_match_(professional_wrestling)/3frbKIgF">singles match</a> between The Undertaker and Big Show. Big Show was able to remove a turnbuckle pad, then slammed The Undertaker's head into it. Big Show then executed a punch to the face on The Undertaker, followed by one to the back of the head that knocked The Undertaker out and forced the referee to stop the match, making Big Show the winner by knockout.
Next, Triple H defended the WWE Championship against Jeff Hardy. Hardy tried on several attempts to executing the Twist of Fate, and eventually performed it after countering a <a href="/facts/Facebuster/n1khFDcJ">Pedigree</a>. Hardy then went up top and executed the <a href="/facts/Professional_wrestling_aerial_techniques/9UARUYyy">Swanton Bomb</a> and slowly crawled and laid on top of Triple H. At the two count, Triple H rolled him over into a crucifix pin and got the win.

<h3>Main event match</h3>
The main event match was a ladder match for the World Heavyweight Championship between defending champion Chris Jericho and Shawn Michaels. Michaels looked to land an early <a href="/facts/Superkick/ljNGcG1C">Sweet Chin Music</a>, but Jericho brought the fight to the floor and slammed Michaels' taped left arm and shoulder into the ring post, before locking in the <a href="/facts/Boston_crab/StPqKm0m">Walls of Jericho</a>. Jericho was then able to bring the ladder into play and used it to whip Michaels. He grabbed a second smaller ladder and propped it in the corner, but Michaels ultimately sent Jericho into the ladder. Later, Jericho performed a <a href="/facts/Asai_Moonsault/b3URW7TI">Lionsault</a> onto a ladder that was on top of Michaels. At one point, <a href="/facts/Lance_Cade/on4tuXkH">Lance Cade</a> ran out to stop Michaels from climbing the ladder. Michaels and Jericho climbed the ladder and both of them grabbed a side of the belt, tugging back and forth. Jericho performed a headbutt that threw Michaels to the floor. Jericho retrieved the belt, thus retaining his title.
