Apparently slow. Bret Hart puts the chair on its edge and attacks Vince's knees, then back to the body. Jerry Lawler says, "I don't see how Vince McMahon can take this.

Vickie Guerrero comes out of the corner shouting, "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM??" Kelly Kelly kicks her in the midsection, steps on her, goes for a cover, Michelle McCool runs in and takes out Kelly, Mickie James runs in and hits the DDT, Laylay in with a swinging neckbreaker, Kim comes in and hits her kick, Maryse in with the Frnech Kiss DDT, Eve Torees in with a senton, Alicia fox with a axekick to the back of the head, and Beth Phoenix finishes it all off with DOWN IN FLAMES.

Everybody clears out of the ring, excpet Vickie Guerrero, who is in the corner praying. Phoenix goes to grab her, but McCool runs into the ring and spins Phoenix around, kicking her in the face, sending her out of the ring. McCool calms Guerrero down, points out that Kelly Kelly is still inthe ring, helps her climb to the top turnbuckle for a Five Star Fog SPlash, even slapping her chest in tribute to her Eddy, the fans pop, and Guerrero delivers the worst looking splash EVER! SHe hooks the legs, rolls up Kelly, referee stops the count as Kelly Kelly kicks out, which I don't think she was supposed to, and is now holding her jaw? I think Vickie fucked that up. Vickie rolls her up again and gets the pin.

WINNERS: Vickie Guerrero, Michelle McCool, Maryse Oulet, Layla London & Alicia Fox. The heel divas get in the middle of the ring as Vickie does her best immitation of the Eddy Guerrero Shimmer, Triple-D style. Not that I'm complaining, I'm a Vickie Guerrero mark. ;-)

Cena delivers three headbutts, Batista gets loose, Cena finishes him with a big right and Batista goes down to the mat. Cena rests a moment, stands on the top turnbuckle and delivers the Five Knuckle Shuffle from the top turnbuckle! \

Batista pops up, Cena sets him up for the Attitude Adjustment, Batista grabs on to the top rope and pulls himself loose. He flips up Cena on his shoulders and drives him down to the mat with the Batista Bomb! Here's the cover, one... two... thr-KICK OUT! Batista can't believe that didn't get the job done, he takes his time getting to his feet, then stands over Cena as he struggles to his.

WINNER AND *NEW* WWE CHAMPION, JOHN CENA! Michael Cole shouts, "John Cena has exorcised his demons! He has slain the Animal!" Cena loves the fans. He loves the fan so much that he'll even jump into the crowd of anti-Cena fans, CLEARLY wearing "We Hate Cena!" shirts and celebrates with them. And they do. They boo him, thumbs down, but they're all smiles, just like he is.
