In any post with the Wrestlemania 26 logo, click on the logo to see all of our other related coverage of Wrestlemania 26 and the Wrestlemania Weekend festivities, including the WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony and the Wrestlemania Weekend shows held by Ring of Honor and Dragon Gate USA.

  1. Drew McIntyre/Kane/Dolph Ziggler/Matt Hardy/Shelton Benjamin defeated Christian/MVP/Jack Swagger/Evan Bourne/Kofi Kingston
  2. Vickie Guererro/Michelle McCool/Layla/Maryse/Alicia Fox defeated Beth Phoenix in a Handicap match
  3. The Big Show defeated R-Truth by disqualification

To keep Monday's "supershow" taping as short as possible, that was it.  The Raw vs Smackdown match with the wrestlers who will be in the Money In The Bank match got plenty of time.  The other two matches didn't.  The rest of the show was filled out with hype videos and cutaways to Michael Cole & Jerry Lawler at Axxess, taped yesterday in Phoenix.

Two things came off oddly:

  • They have a ring at Axxess and have matches there.  The ring was show prominently during the Axxess cutaways.  Why not do a match or two at Axxess so the show will have a better pace and seem more lively?
  • There was an Axxess exhibit about The Undertaker's streak.  It was dressed up as a cemetery with an open grave for Shawn Michaels and headstones for every other wrestler that The Undertaker defeated at Wrestlemania, displaying the wrestler's name and the logo for that year's show.  The Undertaker's opponent at Wrestlemania 15 was The Big Bossman.  Who's dead.  No headstone was shown for him, and I was curious if they had one there for him or not.  Not the most offensive thing in the world since The Big Bossman was a character (albeit one playing a gimmick based on his real pre-wrestling ocupation) and Ray Traylor was a person, but it's the type of thing that they should avoid, especially in the middle of Linda McMahon's Senatorial campaign.

Stay tuned for more coverage of Wrestlemania weekend, including the indy shows tonight, more indy shows and the Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony tomorrow, and Wrestlemania 26 itself on Sunday night, which we will liveblogging with up to the minute coverage.
