Hello there, and welcome to the Real Time Coverage of WWE's No Way Out, the last PPV before Wrestlemania!

After the genuinely shocking return of everybody's wrestler, John Cena at the Rumble last month, WWE have decided to stuff this PPV with not 1...not 2...but FOUR genuine main events! Not only that, but they could have main evented next Month's Wrestlemania as well! Not only that, but they've taken a leaf out of TNA's book by booking 2 gimmick matches of the same kind on this show, in TWO Elimination Chambers! However, unlike TNA, we're not gonna see another one for a while...

And over the course of the next few hours, as we make that final journey towwards Wrestlemania, we will seek to answer some very important questions!

Will Chavo be so excited that he's gonna get an Uncle-in-law, that he takes his eyes off CM Punk?
Given how TV has been booked, will the Smackdown Chamber match just copy the RAW one?
Is Rey getting injured karma for being a pissy little sod over Edge & Vicki?
How many will bitch when Jeff Hardy doesn't win? And How much will I be cackling at them?
Will Flair's career fall to what he has worked over thousands in the past, an injured leg?
Is there any way in hell Randy can keep his title?

Now, usually, just to keep you interested for the next half hour, I try to proffer something to keep you amused, related in some way to the show. And although I had something in mind, I failed to do this, so, I'm just giving you the music videos of 2 tracks I'm absolutely LOVING right now.

"Nine In The Afternoon" - Panic At The Disco

"Grounds For Divorce" - Elbow

See you at the top of the hour with the last PPV before Wrestlemania!

 


 

Well, the PPV is about to begin.  There's only one way in and No Way Out!  Until Wrestlemania anyway...

Our opening video of the evening is all dark and scary.  It's February, not October!  Naturally enough, it ends up focusing on the Chamber and the main title matches.

Cool stage tonight, which is circular, like the Chamber.  We're in Las Vegas, Nevada, so whatever happens here, stays here...OK?

Chavo Guerrero vs. CM Punk in a "Are there any "Gulf's" near tonight's arena?" match for the ECW Title

Punk makes his way to the ring, and as we do so, we see recaps of the last few weeks.  And we hear a snatch of Tazz and Joey live as we do so, talking about something that will be happening.  Couldn't make it out though...

Man, this is a lengthy recap.  Punk's having to stand there for a while.  Then again, there's a lot of time to fill and only a few matches to get it done...

Chavo finally makes his way out and he's in white tonight!  And thankfully, he's not wearing that silly poncho.  The talk some trash before Punk lands a hard kick to the head right away.  Knock down by Punk, before Chavo runs into a backbreaker.  Punk goes to the apron, but Chavo kicks him down.  I note Punk has an elbow bandaged tonight...

Back in the ring, Chavo begins to work on the bandaged arm, before landing a punt in the ribs.  Punk fires back, but Chavo lands a drop toe hold and splash for a 2 count.  Back suplex by Chavo is followed by a bodyscissors by Guerrero.  Punk refuses to give up and eventually gets to his feet.  He gets Chavo in position and catapults Chavo into the turnbuckles.  Punk fires in kicks and then hit a back drop on Chavito.  Corner charge is blocked, but Chavo runs into a powerslam for a 2 count.

Punk picks Chavo up, but the GTS is countered into a hurricanrana.  Chavo SPIKED a tornado DDT for a 2 count.  Chavo went for a Big Boot of sorts, but Punk hit an enziguri for a 2 count.  Punk mocks Chavo before hitting...get this...a couple of vertical suplexes.  And the thing is, it was to BOOS!  High Knee and Bulldog score a 2.  GTS is blocked by Chavo, who is getting an audible chant (!), but when Chavo finds himself on the apron, Punk kicks him down.  Punk goes out and rolls Chavo back in.  He makes the pin and scores a 2 count.

Punk sets Chavo up on the top turnbuckle, but Chavo blocks the superplex.  Punk is knocked down, but Punk crotches him.  Punk goes back up and went for a Hurricanrana, but it's blocked and Chavo hits the Frog Splash for the win!  To a POP!  Wow...a negative crowd towards Punk...never thought I'd see the day this side of a heel turn...

WINNER & STILL CHAMPION - Chavo Guerrero

Cole talks us down the strip as he pimps the Smackdown side of things.  They go over the marriage proposal from Friday Night Smackdown and Vicki's perfect taking of the Seated Senton.  Apparently, Vicki's at home once again.

They send it backstage to Mike Adamle, who has finally found the backstage area.  He's with Rey and he asks for comments.  Rey said Edge doesn't care about Vicki and Friday was an accident, but hey, he's not saying sorry again.  They now bring up his injury.  And that is a BIG bruise showing.  Rey said he's gutting this one out.  And he's gonna win.  And he says Spanish things.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. randomly walks in and he and Rey exchange pleasentaries.

We shoot it to JR & Jerry Lawler who want us to text our preferred winner.  We see Chris Jericho get himself ready.  They put over how he's headlined Wrestlemania.  We see the Chamber, and it's COMING DOWN!!!

The Undertaker vs. Batista vs. Big Daddy V vs. Finlay vs. MVP vs. The Great Khali in a "Well, let's see what they rehearsed..." Elimination Chamber match for No. 1 Contendership to the World Title

If you don't already know, four guys are in pods and 2 start.  Every four minutes, someone will come in, and it's elimination rules.  MVP makes his way out first, mainly because they have to put away the tunnel.  I would assume he'd podded up at the beginning, as the final 2 should be the guys starting us off.  And MVP's colours of choice?  Black and camouflage!  Jim Korderas directs him to a pod.  Big Daddy V is next.  I'm now going to look for a very greased up pod.  Actually, V looks more "slippery" than usual...

Khali is next out, and he gets locked up.  And the last man not starting us off is...FINLAY!  That means we're gonna have some Undertaker vs. Batista to start with.

Batista makes his way out as they put over Batista's experience of being in the match before.  Dave makes faces at the caged guys and then looks up at the Mania sign in the air as he awaits the Wrestlemania-unbeaten Taker.  And boy, he's having to wait.  But eventually, Taker decides to make his way out.

When Taker FINALLY gets to the ring, he pulls the door closed behind him.  Ooh, scary...  Cole points out how this was a Mania match last year.  Good call.  The locked up, but deicdee to have a slugfest instead.  Batista eventually gets the better of it.  He works Taker over in the corner, but Taker counteres a shoulder to the gut with a knee.  He sends Batista onto the steel platform and then squeezes Dave's head against the chain wall.  Batista fires a punch back and kicks Taker back into the ring.

Clothesline by Batista for a long 1 count.  Big Boot by Undertaker.  Fists by Taker send him into the corner, where Taker works Deacon Dave over.  Choking by Undertaker's foot.  Taker picks Batista up and works him back down to the mat.  They show a replay of a STOMP.  Batista gets up and fires back.  He whips Taker across and hits a back elbow for a 2 count.

They big boot each other down as the next person is chosen...and the light chooses...BIG DADDY V!  Nice touch on them showing who's in what pod.  He goes to work on both guys.

V knocks down both guys with clotheslines and then roars.  Slam by V to Taker before he chops Batista.  Samoan Drop to Undertaker, but he doesn't cover, even though Cole & Coach thought Taker was done.  Instead, V decides to stand on Taker, holding the ropes for leverage.  He gives up and goes to work on Batista.  Scoop Slam to Batista by V.  V works Batista more before joinign Taker on the Edge of the ring.  V shoves Undertaker OUT THE DOOR!  Me thinks the door wasn't supposed to open...

Back in the ring, V sqaushes Taker against the chain wall.  He goes back to work on Batista with a squash in the corner.  Samoan Drop is blocked and Batista reels off a spinebuster!  V is the clotheslined out the ring onto a platform.  Taker hits a DDT on the steel and Batista makes the pin for the elimination.  Batista pins Taker for a 2 count.

The next man out...KHALI!  And with a monsterous man back in place, the Indian sets about Taker & Batista.  Picking up from where New York left off, Vegas starts a "You Can't Wrestle" chant, but it's not stopping Khali.  However, Undertakerr attacks and goes for a chokeslam.  However, Khali blocks it and hit the Double handed chokeslam for a VERY CLOSE 2 COUNT!

Khali slams Batista down for a 2 count.  Overhand chop to Taker and the Vice Grip to Batista.  batista gets a low blow and hits a spear, but Undertaker kicks Batista down himself.  Taker wonders where to go, and seeing Singh bash on the dorr, kicks him down.  Taker goes for and locks in the Gogoplata on Khali.  Khali tapped right away!  Taker held it on for a few seconds and Khali is gone!

Taker & Batista duke it out on a platform.  Taker gets the better of it.  Taker makes a pin for a 2 count.  The longest four minutes in hisotry ends as the next man out is revealed and it's...Finlay!  Finlay runs out the pod and into a high knee by Taker.  Taker works over Finlay and whips him across the ring, but Taker's charge is avoided and Finlay goes to work on both men.  Celtic Cross to Undertaker scores another close 2 count.  On the outside, Batista catapults FInlay into the chains.  Finlay looks out of it.  It's back to Taker & batista as Finlay recovers.  Taker scores a clothesline.  Finlay crawls over and scores a 2 count on Batista.

Finlay drops and elbow on Batista before sending Taker to a platform.  He shoves Taker into the chain wall.  After some yacking with MVP, Finaly makes a cover for 2 on Taker.  Undertaker is sent into the pods, and the third hit breaks FInlay's old pod.  However, Batista sends Finlay into the ringpost.  Finlay is put up top by Dave, who hits a Fisherman's Suplex.  He makes a cover for 2.

Taker gets back in and the clock goes down and MVP makes hit bow.  Funny thing is, Taker is there waiting for him!  The door is forced open and Taker beats up the trapped Porter.  However, when he does enough damage, Batista attacks and sends him into the corner for shoulders to the gut and a clothesline.  A second charge is blocked however, and MVP runs in and hit a kick ot the head on Batista and the high running kick to Taker in the corner for a 2 count.

MVP pulls out hsi necklace and chokes Finlay with it, scoring a 2 count.  MVP knocks down Taker and lands blows from the mount.  He wastes time before scoring a 2 count on it.  Taker is bleeding.  Kick to Finlay.  Kick to Batista.  However, Taker is up and has eyes for Porter.  MVP throws fists, but Taker wants more.  MVP hits a number of blow, but Taker back him up!

MVP CLIMBS TO THE TOP OF THE POD!  Taker gets to the top rope.  MVP punches but Taker grabs MVP and hits a reverse chokeslam of sorts, sending MVP down to the mat!!!  Finlay crawls over and makes the three count on MVP.

Taker comes off the top with an elbow to Finlay, but Finlay moved at the last second.  Hornswaggle appears in a gap in the ring and chamber, handing Finlay a shillelagh.  Finlay gets caught in position for a Batista Bomb, but he hits Dave in the head for a 2 count.  He goes to Taker, but gets chokeslammed onto the platform by Taker for the three count!  It's down to Undertaker & Batista to face Edge at Wrestlemania!

Both bloody men spy each other and crawl back in the ring.  They slug it out and the crowd are behind Taker here.Batista catches Batista with a boot and HITS the Batista Bomb!  Batista crawls over and scores the nearest of near falls!

Dave goes for mounted punches in the corner, but Taker powers up with a second wind (well, 10th by this point...) and hits the Last Ride!  He makes the cover, but Batista kicked out.

Taker fires away with mounted punches, before smelling the end.  He hoists batista up for the Tombstone, but batista slips out and sends Taker to the platform.  Batista picks Taker up and presses Taker's arm against the wall.  Batista then lawn darts Taker into the chains.  Batista goes for it again, but Taker counters and SOMEHOW counteres into the tombstone position in the ring!  He hits it and scores the win!  Undertaker wrestles for the title at Wrestlemania!

WINNER - Undertaker

We go backstage to the Rated Rmy and Edge.  They are worried it's Taker who had won.  Edge says they have to concentrate on tonight.  Teddy Long walked in.  And gues shwta?  Since Vicki is out, he's in charge so by his order, The Rated Rmy is banned fomr ringside.  Holla!

Wrestlemania commercial.  Funny stuff.  Gotta love Mae Young!

Jerry Lawler and JR are on screen, and they're talking Playboy.  Apparently Ashley took Maria to the Playboy Mansion.  It seems to be about the new remade Knight Rider.  All I know is THE HOFF~!~!~! was there...  Maria met Hef, and she asked him how he thought she would do.  Hef gives the obvious answer...OF COURSE!  Maria says she has a lot to think about.

Ric Flair vs. Mr. Kennedy in a "Is this for custody of the world's supply of blond hair dye?" match
Kennedy made his way out first, and got his microphone dropped to him from the stage.  He told the crowd to get out their cameras as tonight was an end of an era, and so they could capture the man who ended Flair's career.  That would be him.

Flair comes out next, and it might just be me, but his robe makes him look thin.  We see Floyd Mayweather Jr. again.  And both men have bleach blond hair and they are both in black!  Damn it!  They lock up and Flair gets the better of it.  Same thing happens a second time.  Kennedy gets the knockdown, but Flair then scores a hiptoss.  Kennedy fires shots at Flair, but Flair comes back with chops and punches.  However, Kennedy then goes for the left knee, which is bandaged.  He stomps away on it before putting on a Single Leg Boston Crab.  Flair manages to make the bottom rope.

Kennedy pulls Flair's leg and wraps it off the edge of the ring.  Kennedy breaks the count and then wraps the leg around the ringpost.   He then pulls out Bret Hart's trick by putting on the Figure Four around the ringpost.  Kennedy breaks it and yells in Ric's face before slapping him hard.  Kennedy scores a 2 count.  Flair gets up and fires back a slap, but Kennedy downs Flair again and puts on the Figure Four leg lock properly.  Flair tries to turn it over, but it doesn't work.  Flair bites his hand form the pain, but eventually makes the ropes.  Kennedy mocks Flair, but Flair gets up and fires a couple of chops.  Kennedy picks Flair up and scores the rolling Samoan drop for a 2 count.

Kennedy goesfor it again, but Flair slips out and chop blocks the knee.  Flair hits a chop the chest and then another clip to the leg.  Flair goes for the Figure Four, but it's block and he scores a roll up, but is caught using the ropes.  Flair hits the knee breaker and goes to the Figure Four, but Kennedy gets the small package for another 2.  Flair FINALLY gets the Figure Four on.  Kennedy is in the middle of the ring and is forced to tap.

WINNER - Ric Flair

Flair cuts a promo and promises never to retire.  Well, not for a month anyway...

...

I added the last bit.

Backstage, Finlay's back is getting iced up when Vince McMahon comes over to gloat before goading Finlay about how Hornswaggle would be in a cage tomorrow night on the first RAW heading to Wrestlemania.

JBL is pacing.  JBL stops pacing.  JBL starts pacing again.  World class recapping from me there...

Cole & Coach talk about how it will be a one on one match, thanks to Thaddeus Long, before sending it to a recap of events formt he Rumble onwards.

Rey Mysterio vs. Edge in a "Wonder how long this one's gonna go, all things considered..." match for the World Title

Rey's out first and he's all dressed up for the occasion in silver with a flashy outfit on.  Shame his bright red arm protection clashes with it.  Cole calls it a "Conquisador" outfit.  Well, he will be jobbing...  He points out Mayweather.  I wonder...

Edge comes out next, and he's looking...determined, but with a smile on his face, knowing what he's aiming for.  The bright red thing.  Edge motions towards it, but Rey swats Edge away.  Edge goes for the arm, but Rey grabs one of Edge and gets the arm wringer.  He gets Edge over with the headscissors, but it's already hurting.  He hits some weak punches with his off hand before whipping Edge across, but Edge comes back and knocks Rey down.  Edge goes after the arm, but Mysterio ducks out.

Rey walks around for a bit, but Edge scores the baseball slide, before he send Rey into the steel steps.  Well, Rey is clearly going out rocking if he's doing spots like that.  back in the ring, Edge toys with Rey in the corner.  Edge pulls Rey up and grabs the bad arm.  Rey comes back with knees, but Edge picks Mysterio up and puts him up top.  Edge climbs up and punches the arm.  Rey falls into the Tree Of Woe, but Edge's baseball slide is dodged and Edge hits ringpost.  Rey hits a moonsault for a 2 count.

Rey is whipped into the corner, but he blocks a charge and uses the left arm to hit a tonado DDT for a 2 count, Edge using the rope to break the count.  Edge avoideds a low dropkick, but is set and hit with the 619!  But Rey's arm, naturally, hurt.  He even swears a lot.  He eventually comes off the ropes with a crossbody, but dives into a spear, allowing Edge to pick up the three count.

WINNER & STILL CHAMPION - Edge

Wrestlemania.  Edge vs. Undertaker.  Title vs. Streak.  Cool.

We focus on Rey as the trainers run out to help him.  WHEN THE BIG SHOW'S MUSIC HITS!!!!

And he's back to being the Bald Nasty Bastard again!  Don't worry, he ignores Rey and gets in the ring.  Plus, he's in dress clothes.  And there's no gurney for him to swing Rey.  And boy, has Show lost TONS of weight!  He almost looks normal!

Guess who's back???  Big Show said he missed this place (not what you said when you left!) and what better way to reintroduce himself back by saying he'll be Champion again.  Doesn't matter where.  RAW...Smackdown...ECW...  He says many people make guaruntees.  But he's won titles in every brand, so it's only a matter of time, so he's not making promises.  He out there to say he's lost 180 pounds, so he's faster, meaner and ready to be back.

OK, so now he spies Rey Rey and decides it's killing time.  I knew I spoke too soon.  He shows Rey to Floyd Mayweather before rolling back in the ring.  Big Show begs Mayweather to come in, and Floyd wants to but gets held back.  Rey goes up for the chokeslam, but Mayweather breaks free and leaps into the ring and squares up to Big Show.  Mayweather's men hold him back as Big Show takes his coat off.  Mayweather goes eye to nipple with Show.  Show gives Floyd a shove.

Big Show gets on a knee and offers Floyd a shot.  WHICH HE TAKES!  Mayweather sprints for his life and Show gives chase, only to be stopped by Shane McMahon.  Big Show's nose is busted open.  I suddenly want to see that at Mania!  Mayweather vs. Show.  He did want to be a boxer...

Shane gets Big Show back to the ring and walks him up the aisle, as Big Show spits out blood.

Another Wrestlemania commercial.  It's the one with the second "official theme".  Better for it than the RHCP song.  42 days to go.

Jeff Hardy is shown.  JR wonders if it could be his night.  Nope.

Mike Adamle is bumped back out into the crowd as he introduces a recap of the John Cena/Randy orton saga.

John Cena vs. Randy Orton in a "So will the spinner still be fixed or will it be spinning by the end of the night?" match for the WWE Title
And Cena's getting booed before he even comes out.  Well, I assume so anyway...  Cena comes out first with his AWESOME new shirt.  JR calls Cena "The hunter".  All kinds of irony there.  As a note, I saw "The Marine" for the first time on Saturday.  I actually rather enjoyed it.  And yep, he's booed.

Orotn took his sweet time getting to the ring, although that was more acted pensiveness rather than laziness.  The crowd is loud one way or another as Mike Chioda goes to the length of checking both guys for weaponry.

They cricle before locking up.  Cena scores a quick inside cradle for a 1 count.  Takedown by Cena scores another 1 count.  Dueling chants.  Loud ones.  THAT is why Cena will at least be part of the Mania main event.  Orton kicks Cena down.  He hits Cena in the head with Cena in the corner.  Orton continues to tee off on the challenger.  Orton has a whip reversed, with Cena hitting a bulldog for a 2 count.  Back elbow by Cena is followed by an elbow drop for another deuce.  Orton telegrpahs Cena's next move and kicks him down.  Swing and a hit downs Cena.  However, as Orton poses, Cena rolls Orton up for a 2 ocunt.  Orton clotheslines Cena down for a 2 count.

Orton punches Cena while Cena is in the ropes.  Cena is eventually punched out of the ring.  Cena pulls himself back up and drops Orton on the top rope.  Cena goes up top for the "Fameasser", scoring a 2 count.  Orton is sent into the corner, but the charge is blocked.  Choking by Orton.  Cena surprises Orton with an FU attempt, but Orotn gets out and uppercuts Cena down, before hitting the Orton Stomp on The Marine's limbs.

He then aims for Cena's repaired pec.  He hits a few blows before covering for a 2 count.  Orton lowers his knee pad, but misses the knee drop.  Cena fires back and whips Orton, but Randy dodges the charge.  Orton puts on a sleeper hold, taking Cena down to the mat.

Cena battles to ease the pressure on his head, and manages to get to his knees and then hsi feet.  Cena then pulls Orton's arms up and out the hold.  Shoulder block by Cena.  ProtoBomb by Cena.  he points to the Wrestlemania sign before signalling for the Five Knuckle Shuffle, which hits.  Orton is picked up, but Orton slips out and takes a walk.  Cena follows however and they begin slugging it out at ringside.  They realise the referee was at a 9 count, and they both dive in the ring at the last second.

They eyeball each other.  They begin slugging it out again.  Orton ducks a shot and scores his backbreaker, but Orton feels the leg.  He crawls over for a cover and scores the 2 count.  Orton picks Cena up and puts him up top.  Orton joins him in the high rent district.   Orton gets knocked down, but Cena misses a second leg drop.  Orton gets the glint in his eye and readies for the RKO.  However it's blocked into another ProtoBomb  This time, he puts on the STFU!

Orton tries to fight the hold.  He gets near the bottom rope, and eventually manages to grab it.  Orton takes a powder when the hold is broken.  Orton collapses outside, holding the knee.  Orton demands to be counted out.  Cena protests, but when in range, Orton suckers Cena and hits the RKO on the outside!  Orton rolls back in the ring and Cena looks like he's gonna get counted out...

And indeed Mike Chioda starts a-counting...but Cena ain't moving.  Until 9 when he dives in the ring.  Orton and Cena eyeball each other.  Orton gives Chioda a slap, drawing the obvious DQ!

WINNER & STILL WWE CHAMPION - Randy Orton

Cena protests, and then gives Orton the FU and then puts the STFU back on!  Cena finally has to give it up.  He takes another look at the Wrestlemania sign in anguish.  Some sing "Na Na Na Na", as JR says that Cena could have waited until Mania, but wanted to earn his spot.  I would look for some booking gymnastics on RAW tomorrow...

Orton is announced as still being the champion, as JR chides those who cheered Orton's actions.  He leaves with a smirk.

We see HHH rockling back and forth.  HBK approaches, saying that this is usually when they have a laugh and shill some product, but it wasn't appropriate tonight.  HHH agrees.  They agree to take each other out if needs be.

The results are in and people think Jeff Hardy are gonna win, with HHH in second and HBK a distant third.

HHH vs. Shawn Michaels vs. Umaga vs. JBL vs. Chris Jericho vs. Jeff Hardy in a "Forgone Conclusion?" Elimination Chamber match for No. 1 Contendership to the WWE Title
If you don't know the rules to this one...look up...

HHH is out first, so he's in a pod.  Same one as MVP, as it goes, who of course, was first out in his match.  Umaga is out next.  Thankfully, he's back to the black tights tonight.  Those red ones hurt my eyes.  He gets in the ring and squares up to HHH before being put in a pod.  JBL is next to get chained up behind the "bulletproof" perspex.  Last man out is Hardy, meaning that HBK & Chris Jericho will be starting things off.  How's about that?  ANOTHER Wrestlemania rematch to start things off.

Jericho is next out, and much to Zah's (eventual) disgust, he's back in the "Codebreaker" tights.  He eyeballs JBL right away.  And then Shawn Michaels rounds out the field.

Jericho gets the side headlock and goes into the hammerlock.  HBK frees himself and knocks Jericho down.  They fire chops back and forth.  They then excahnge a bunch of 2 counts.  Northern Lights Suplex by Jericho scores andother 2.  Michaels gets a backslide for a 2 oucnt, but Y2J gets a clothesline to take Michaels down.  Backbreaker by Jericho.  They begin to slug it out again before HBK hits the flying forearm.  HBK hits the scoopslam and then goes up top.  However, the flying elbow meets Jericho's knees.

Jericho scores the bulldog, but the Lionsault is missed.  However, Jericho immediately goes for the Walls.  That's blocked and HBK goes for the sharpshooter.  That's blocked and Jericho scores a cradle for 2.  Uppercut by Jericho.  Chops by Michaels.  Like the first match, they take each other out as the first person comes out of their pod.  And it's...Umaga!

The Samoan takes it to Michaels and Jericho.  Y2J is sent to the metal floor while Umaga deals with HBK.  The two babyfaces run into an Umaga double clothesline.  Jericho is picked up, Michaels runs to Umaga and is hoisted up as well, where he hits them both with a Samoan Drop!  HBK is kicked by Umaga to the platform.  Falling headbutt to Jericho.  Umaga climbs up the wall a couple of rungs before dropping onto Michaels.  He goes back to work on Jericho.  Umaga heads back to Michaels, who hits the drop on HBK again.

Back to Jericho, but Chris fires in chops, although he is downed by Umaga.  Umaga climbs to the second rope, but the headbutt misses.  HBK hits the flying elbow to the back of Umaga's head.  Jericho grabs the legs and goes for the Walls Of Jericho on Umaga.  Michaels joins the fun and puts on the Crossface!

The clock runs down and another guy is coming out...JBL!  Naturally, he goes for Jericho first, before saving Umaga from Michaels.  He goes back to work on Jericho with a swinging neckbreaker.  He gets rid of a somehow bloody HBK and goes back to Jericho.  He hits a big boot and an elbow drop on Jericho for a 2 count.  Jericho gets placed up top as Umaga slams HBK down.  Jericho scores a DDT out the corner for a 2 count on JBL.  Jericho and JBL join Umaga and HBK.  Jericho's head is rammed into a turnbuckle.  Back in the ring, Umaga whips HBk across the ring, landing Michaels on the top, before punting him down.  The next man in is...HHH!

HHH comes in and goes right for Umaga, taking him down before giving JBL a knee to the face.  Umaga gets one as well, before JBL & Umaga meet heads.  Spinebusters to Jericho and Umaga.  DDT to JBL.  He gets a 2 count off that.  Umaga fires back a shot to HHH.  HHH avoidsand Umaga charge and send the Samoan into a pod, which doesn't break.  Jericho socres the bulldog on HHH but the Lionsault misses.  HHH goes for the Pedigree, but JBL clotheslines HHH.  Codebreaker by Jericho to JBL scores y2J the three count!

JBL Looks mortified, but leaves without incident.  Spoke too soon!  He grabbed a couple of chair and used one to take out everyone in the ring, including Umaga.  Jericho is busted open.  HBK, well, he was busted earlier.  Umaga has less make up on now.

With everyone down, Jeff Hardy is allowed to enter the ring.  Hardy goes after everyone with success, and then uses Jericho to hit Poetry In Motion.  DX team up on Hardy, but he hits Whisper In The Wind to them.  However, Jeff is kicked by Umaga.  Umaga hits the spinning Uranage on Jericho before putting HHH in the Tree Of Woe.  HBK is whipped into HHH, and Umaga follows up with a falling headbutt.

Umaga spies Jericho sitting up by a pod, so he bum0rushes JerichO THROUGH the pod!  Ouch.  In the ring, Umaga sets for a Spike, but HBK hits the superkick, Jericho gets the Codebreaker, HHH the Pedigree and Jeff Hardy climbs to the top of his pod for a Swanton on Umaga and Jericho picks up the three count!

Jericho walks into Sweet Chin Music and Hardy makes the cover and Jericho out!  HHH gets rid of hardy and pedigrees HBK for three!!!

It's down to Hardy & HHH.  They slug it out, but Hardy is sent out to the platform.  Hardy blocks being sent into the wall and hits a DDT on HHH.  Hardy pounds on HHH, who is on the floor.  The Game is sent into the wall a bunch of times, and HHH is busted open.  HHH tries to create seperation, but Hardy's having none of it.  He cluimbs up top , but the dive is countered into a Pedigree attempt.  But Hardy back drops HHH into the ring.  The Swanton misses and HHH hits the Pedigree.

One...

Two...

KICK OUT!

HHH can't believe it.  He goes for a chair that was left by JBL.  He sets for the Pedigree on the chair, but Jeff hits a low blow.  Twist Of Fate was countered and Jeff's back met steel.  HHH finally hit the Pedigree and that was that.

WINNER - HHH

So at Wrestlemania, it is (Right now, anyway) HHH vs. Randy Orton.

HHH points to the Wrestlemania sign and poses as the show goes off the air.  Man, that was a full PPV, for so few matches!  6 minutes to the hour it ended!

Well, that was a very enjoyable show from where I sit, as we now head to Wrestlemania.  The Chambers were really good.  The Cena/Orton match was really good until the very end.  Rey vs. Edge was what it was in the circumstances and the other 2 matches were decent enough.

So that's it from me right now.  As it says up top, JG will have an audio and so will I tomorrow, with more No Way Out coverage and where Wrestlemania is likely to go form there as well as a couple of other bits.

Anyway, I'll be seeing you for the next PPV...whatever it is...
