Decent Match

Ryan – Kidd/Cesaro.

 

Intercontinental Title Ladder Match – Bad News Barrett (c)
vs. R-Truth vs. Stardust vs. Luke Harper vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. Daniel Bryan vs.

Only guy in this match who can instantly give belt more credibility.

too strong for Cena

match, but Lesnar goes over as babyface, but Rollins cashes in by the end of
the night.
