January - Week 2

THURSDAY NIGHT BATTLEZONE
*** MATCH 1 - Evan Bourne v. Santino Marella ***
In his first match since his shocking actions on Raw this past week, Evan Bourne took on United States Champion Santino Marella in a non-title match. Just as Evan Bourne would start to get the upper hand, Vladimir Koslov would come to the ring to aid his former tag team partner, distracting the referee after Bourne hit Air Bourne. However, the distraction wouldn't prove to be enough, as after Koslov would return backstage, Bourne would roll up Santino for the 3 count. A big win over the champion should surely give Evan Bourne some momentum in the United States Championship picture.
*** MATCH 2 - Alberto Del Rio v. Rey Mysterio ***
Embarrassed by his loss to Sheamus last week on Smackdown, Del Rio wanted a match to try to redeem himself. His opponent this week on Battlezone was Rey Mysterio. Sheamus decided that he wanted to take a closer look, and joined King and Cole ringside at commentary. Despite Ricardo Rodriguez getting himself ejected from ringside, Del Rio would pick up a hard fought victory against the Master of the 6-1-9. Afterward, Sheamus would attack Del Rio, hitting him with the World Heavyweight Championship belt.
*** MATCH 4 - FATAL FOUR WAY MATCH
Brodus Clay v. Alex Riley v. David Otunga v. Husky Harris ***
Alex Riley would secure a pinfall over Husky Harris during a Fatal Four Way match that will surely have implications in the United States Championship picture. Unfortunately, it is under question whether the end result justified his means of winning the match. Alex Riley would secure his win after many chair shots and attacks with the steel ring steps to Husky Harris, who did not get up after the match. Mason Ryan rushed to the ring to check on the fallen Harris.
