Alberto Del Rio def. Big E Langston

As it turns out, “Mexico’s Greatest Export” doesn’t take lightly to having his fun spoiled. Big E Langston’s intrusion of Alberto Del Rio’s attack on John Cena did not go unnoticed by Kane, Brad Maddox & Vickie Guerrero, who gave Del Rio the opportunity to face Langston one-on-one just a few minutes after the encounter. The Essence of Excellence rose grandly to the challenge, renewing his old rivalry with Langston and notching a win in the process. Langston’s power seemed certain to give him the win after he plastered Del Rio with a running splash. The former World Champion prevailed, however, escaping the Big Ending and trapping the powerlifting champion in the Cross Armbreaker for the tapout victory.

World Heavyweight Champion John Cena def. The Real Americans

Sorry, Zeb-itarians, John Cena still won’t be joining The Real Americans’ movement anytime soon. Despite Zeb Colter’s attempts to conscript The Champ into his ranks alongside Jack Swagger & Antonio Cesaro, the Cenation leader held strong in both principle and practice by defeating Colter’s boys in a Handicap Match in Manchester. Swagger & Cesaro were welcomed about as well as one might expect from the international crowd, though the reception did nothing to slow the Americans’ momentum in the opening moments.

Despite a counter of the Cesaro swing into an attempted STF, the Americans kept Cena on his heels with a slew of strategic tags and well-honed team maneuvers. (The unwelcome arrival of Alberto Del Rio on commentary also did The Champ’s focus no favors.) It was quick timing that saved the day when Cena sprung a quick-strike STF on Swagger for the tapout win … though Del Rio made The Champ pay by locking in the Cross Armbreaker in the crux of a steel chair, punishing Cena’s surgically repaired arm until Big E Langston stormed to the rescue.
