Trivia:

Umaga was supposed to win the Intercontinental Championship from Santino Marella via pinfall, but the ref was not informed of the finish and was not supposed to disqualify him. Umaga was then planned to win the title the next night on RAW, but the show was replaced with a tribute to the Benoit family. He finally won it the next week.

Not a bad show on the whole

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

1) The Hardys vs. Cade and Murdoch, for the World Tag Team titles. Fair opener, perhaps a bit better than their "Backlash" encounter (6/10).

2) Chavo Guerrero vs. Jimmy Wang Yang, for the Cruiserweight title. A good little match, mostly thanks to JWY (previously known as Akio), who can be a quite spectacular high-flyer (6/10).

3) Nitro vs. CM Punk, for the ECW title. My pick for best match of the night, between two well-matched and highly athletic opponents (7/10).

4) Umaga vs. Santino Marella, for the IC title. The first dud of the night: a 3-minute squash that makes then-champion Marella look like a joke (3/10).

5) MVP vs. Ric Flair, for the US title. The second dud in a row, though the crowd is undeniably into it (4/10).

6) Deuce and Domino vs. Sgt. Slaughter and Jimmy Snuka, for the WWE Tag Team titles. A waste of time. Did anyone really think they were going to give the belts to two retired guest wrestlers? (4/10).

7) Edge vs. Batista, for the World Heavyweight title. This match is surprisingly exciting with lots of near-falls, but the finish is pretty lame (7/10).

8) Melina vs. Candice, for the Women's title. A fair (if short) match, but IMO the decision to give Candice the title at this point was wrong - she was not ready yet, and Melina is clearly the superior wrestler here (5/10)

9) Cena vs. Orton vs. Lashley vs. Mick Foley vs. Booker T, for the WWE title. An entertaining mess, with an almost insultingly predictable outcome (6/10).
