CLASH OF THE CHAMPIONS, Year 1

This is a Raw and SmackDown joint event and as the title states, the champions of both brands will face each other. There will be no title matches.

Match 1. The Hardyz and Dolph Ziggler vs. The Shield
Jeff caught Reigns with a snapmare and Ziggler landed a springboard elbow drop. Ambrose rolled out of Jeff's face buster attempt. He and Rollins connected with a clothesline/spear combo. Jeff came back with a Twist of Fate on Ambrose. Ziggler slammed Rollins and Reigns heads together. All three members of The Shield were stomping on Ziggler, forcing the ref to call for a DQ.

Match 2. The Rock vs. Booker T vs. Sheamus vs. Diesel
Diesel and Sheamus hit Booker with a double chokeslam. Sheamus turned on Diesel and hit him with White Noise. Booker hit Sheamus with a huge spine buster. Diesel hit Sheamus with the Jackknife powerbomb. The Rock, out of nowhere, hit Sheamus with the Rock Bottom and won.

Match 3. Damien Sandow vs. Cody Rhodes
It's funny how much things change, they always stay the same. These two go at it one more time. Cody kicked Sandow in the gut and went for a clothesline, but Sandow countered into a swinging neck breaker. Sandow then DDT'd Cody on the apron. Cody came back with Cross Rhodes and won.

Match 4. John Cena vs. Randy Orton
Orton tossed Cena into the corner and landed a snap slam. He then stomped all over Cena. Cena blocked an RKO and hit the AA. Cena got a couple of near falls.Cena continued with a bulldog and the Five Knuckle Shuffle to win.

Match 5. The Mega Powers vs. The Usos
Hogan and Savage hit Jey with a double back elbow. Jimmy came in and landed a belly-to-belly side slam. Luke Harper ran down with a chair. Jimmy sit Savage with a sit-out full nelson bomb. Harper caught Jey with a huge running clothesline as Hogan hit Jimmy with a big boot and won.

Match 6. Stone Cold vs. Brock Lesnar
Austin took Lesnar down with a Lou Thesz Press. Austin then caught Lesnar with a Stunner. Lesnar, bleeding, lifted Austin up for an F5. After a couple of near falls from both Superstars, Lesnar hit Austin with the triple powerbombs and won.

Main Event. Shawn Michaels vs. Ryback
Ryback took Michaels down and slammed his head against the mat multiple times. Ryback then lifted Michaels up and hit Shell Shock, but Michaels kicked out. Michaels came back with an elbow drop and pile driver. Ryback ducked a Sweet Chin Music and hit another Shell Shock to win.

Recap: Wow. I was not expecting Ryback to beat Michaels that quickly. This was a decent PPV, nothing eventful. I think the lack of title matches hurt the value.
