Report By: Matt Boone for WrestleZone.com

Diva’s Championship:

-Mickie James (c) vs. Beth Phoenix

The bell rings and Mickie immediately rolls Beth up but only gets two. Mickie with a headlock. He tries doing a split while still headlocking Beth, but she botches it. Beth has Mickie down now and is stomping away. Beth has Mickie’s head against the ring post from inside the ring and she dropkicks her head right into the post. That was actually pretty cool. The announcers are over-selling it a bit with the quiet somber schtick. Beth with an arm lock on Mickie. Mickie fighting out of it now. Mickie dropkicks Beth in the knees. Mickie selling the arm. I guess it was supposed to be her arm that was dropkicked into the post. The announcers definitely sold it as her head smashing into the post. But anyways. Mickie climbs to the top and Beth shoves her hard to the floor. Beth goes out to the floor and slams Mickie into the barricade. She throws her back in the ring and tries to pin her but only gets two. The announcers are still in somber-mode. Beth picks Mickie up for a slam but Mickie counters into a tornado DDT for the pinfall and the victory.

Winner and STILL Diva’s champion: Mickie James

Backstage: Dusty Rhodes, D-X & The Shockmaster

Backstage Dusty and D-X are still hanging out. HBK says he’s still a bit upset from earlier. He says he was bad but he hides it well now. Dusty says sure "physcho boy." They talk about WCW moments again. Dusty says some good things came out of WCW – Sting, Magnum TA, etc. HHH brings up the best moment in WCW history. Dusty asks if it was him winning the title. He says no and brings up The Shockmaster incident. They re-do the entire incident with the crashing through the wall, falling down, helmet, weird voice, etc. They ask where the voice is coming from and we see it’s Arn Anderson behind a curtain with a mic (because Ole doesn’t work for WWE?) D-X leaves. Dusty yells "it should’ve worked!" The Shockmaster pulls the helmet off to reveal it was Santino – and he replies "I know, I loved The Shockmaster!"

Backstage: Josh Matthews Interviews John Cena

Backstage we see Josh Matthews with John Cena. Cena tells him to tweet his friends and open up his Facebook page because tonight is gonna be a good one. He talks about the main event tonight. Matthews asks if he’ll call it down the middle. Cena says it would be great for Cody to beat Orton for the WWE title and make history – becoming the youngest WWE champion in history. He says that he hates Orton and would love to cost him the title tonight but that would mean he basically handed over the title to Cody Rhodes, which is something he simply cannot do. He then goes on a rant about Breaking Point and creates a tagline "I will not quit" which he repeats after making three or four points.
