Tonight’s main event is Christian teaming with Kane to take on Ezekial Jackson and William Regal.

We start with William Regal introducing Jackson as he comes down to the ring. Zeke talks about having Christian sprawled at his feet last week. He promises that image will repeat itself at the Royal Rumble.

Christian comes out responding. He tosses out a quote from the book of Ezekial, and admits he hasn’t faced anyone like Ezekial. He says he’s defended his title against All-American Americans, ECW Originals and creepy pasty British dudes. He points out that last week was a two on one. This time Christian has evened the odds.

As Kane walks to the ring Josh Matthews calls him a walking Doomsday.

We’re also going to have a six man tag match. The Hurricane, Goldust and Yoshi Tatsu team against Zack Ryder, Caylen Croft and Trent Baretta. Curt Hawkins former partner with his current partners. And this isn’t the first time Dust and Hurricane have been on the same team. They teamed up a couple times back during the Bookdust and Hurri-Kane days.

We get a Royal Rumble promo. Then Shelton Benjamin talks about the Royal Rumble until Vance Archer attacks him.

TIme for the six man match. Rosa looks good tonight. She also gives Savannah a dirty look as she does the intros.

Dust and Croft start, I think. Croft gets catapulted into the corner, and Dust takes shots at the heels. Croft gets an inverted atomic drop and Dust works the arm. Croft misses a charge in the corner and Dust gets an armdrag. Hurricane in with a leg lariat.

Zack Ryder in and Hurricane gets an armdrag. He rolls over pulls up Ryder and attempts a Hammerlock but Ryder fights out. Hurricane tosses Ryder over the top rope and things break down as we go to commercial.

Baretta and Croft try to backdrop Goldust. Dust hits his uppercut on Croft and Baretta gets the finisher kick giving Tatsu, Dust and Hurricane the win.

Quite a show. Only two matches in an hour but I’d say we got close to forty minutes of wrestling action and they gave fans the faces winning at the end of the show despite the first match having bigger names. Two consecutive beatings by Jackson seems to suggest that Christian would win at the Royal Rumble. But Jackson has been very dominant. Still the way they’ve happened I’d be perfectly happy if Christian ended up winning or even losing by DQ just to keep the title off him.

I wonder if Vance Archer is even in the Royal Rumble? He’d kind of a no name currently.

I really enjoyed the six man tag match, except the heels actually tagged a little to often. It got a little monotanous. There was some good fast paced with ‘Cane and Tatsu and Goldust has looked great in recent weeks.
