Money In The Bank 2012 » Matches » Kingston & Truth vs Hunico & Camacho (Pre-Show Tag Team Match)

In a tag team division brimming with competition but wracked by parity, rare is the opportunity for a team to distance itself from the rest of the pack as standout challengers to the throne. Yet on the Money in the Bank 2012 Pre-Show event Sunday, the down-and-dirty duo of Hunico & Camacho will have that very opportunity when they step in the ring against the kings themselves: WWE Tag Team Champions R-Truth & Kofi Kingston.
Champions since the end of April, the team of Truth and Kingston was temporarily derailed last month after a heinous backstage attack by Big Show put Truth on the shelf for several weeks. With the unpredictable Truth back in action, however, he and The Dreadlocked Dynamo are aiming to extend a win streak that includes victories over the now-disbanded unit of former World Champions Dolph Ziggler & Jack Swagger, former Tag Team Champions Epico & Primo and The Prime Time Players before Titus O’Neil & Darren Young signed with A.W.
The only thing standing in Kingston & Truth’s way is the barrio-tough tandem of the high-flying luchador, Hunico, and the imposing wall of silence that invariably backs him up, Camacho. Though the duo has not yet worn championship gold, their performance against Truth & Kingston Sunday will go a long way in determining their placement in the tag team pecking order.
Will the devil-may-care attitude of Kingston negate the high-flying antics of the former "Sin Cara Negro"? Which brawler will get the upper hand in the fisticuffs that will inevitably ensue – Truth or Camacho?
Find out Sunday by tuning in to the Money in the Bank Pre-Show, which streams live on WWE.com, YouTube.com/WWE and Facebook Sunday, starting at 7:30 p.m. ET/4:30 p.m. PT.

BREAKING NEWS: Zack Ryder, Dolph Ziggler and Justin Roberts involved in a car accident in San Diego

SAN DIEGO – WWE Superstars Zack Ryder, Dolph Ziggler and announcer Justin Roberts were involved in a car accident just outside of downtown San Diego on Friday afternoon just after 5:00 p.m. PT. Traveling in a limousine, the three were rear-ended as they were transported from Comic-Con: International at the San Diego Convention Center.

"It was a quiet ride since Dolph and I don’t get along. Then, all of a sudden, the brakes hit and I slid down the couch part of the limo. The driver stopped and the car behind us hit us," Zack Ryder said.

"I landed on the floor and my neck hit the edge of the chair," Ryder added. "Ziggler went flying. Justin went flying. The car hit us full speed; we all got thrown from our seats. My neck is a little sore. That’s it. We’re all OK though."

Local paramedics examined the former United States Champion and his fellow passengers, finding no major injuries, according to Ryder.

"It was a big limo, so we couldn’t tell exactly what was going on outside, but we merged on to a highway and then at one point we braked," Justin Roberts told WWE.com. "Zack basically slid down the bench. Dolph and I were sitting in the back facing forward, and Zack was on the bench sitting sideways. Then, out of nowhere, we got hit pretty hard."

Roberts continued, "You could tell by the way Zack was sitting, that his neck [was hurt], and Dolph was sitting right in front of where the impact was, so he got hit hard.

"I don’t remember what happened with myself," Roberts said. "I just know I was sitting on the floor with my knee up, and I was fine. Then I saw that my leg was bleeding, and it hurt. I don’t know what I hit my knee on."

Roberts explained that his cut was minor and he will have it reevaluated when he sees WWE physicians at the WWE Live Event in Tucson, Ariz., this weekend.

"I don’t think anyone was hurt in an emergency way," he said. "It doesn’t feel good, but we didn’t want to sit around in a hospital in San Diego."

According to Roberts, all three declined going to the hospital; he and Ryder are now traveling by car to Phoenix and Ziggler departed on a flight out of San Diego. Stay with WWE.com as more details become available.

Ryder says that he brought Del Rio to ZackDown for a reason, because there is a Superstar who wants a piece of Del Rio before the Interim GM reveals Del Rio’s opponent as the man who Del Rio assaulted two weeks ago on RAW, Sin Cara, gets his shot at revenge.

 

Per the orders of Interim General Manager Zack Ryder, the opening match of ZackDown saw the #1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Title, Alberto Del Rio, going one-on-one with the latest qualifier for the World Heavyweight Championship Contract Money-in-the-Bank Ladder Match, “The International Sensation” Sin Cara. In the end, it was Alberto Del Rio locking in the cross armbreaker on Sin Cara, forcing the high-flyer to tap out.

 

The #1 Contenders for the WWE Tag Team Titles, The Prime Time Players appeared on ZackDown as Darren Young, with Titus O’Neil & A.W. in his corner, went one-on-one with Primo, with Epico & Rosa Mendes in his corner. In the end, it was the veteran, Primo, catching Darren Young with a small package roll-up to pick up the win, putting a rare blemish on The Prime Time Players’ record.

 

Four of the eight participants in the World Heavyweight Championship Contract Money-in-the-Bank Ladder Match were in tag team action on ZackDown as Intercontinental Champion Christian teams with United States Champion Santino Marella to face “The Show-Off” Dolph Ziggler and Cody Rhodes, with Vickie Guerrero in their corner. In the end, it was Dolph Ziggler hitting the Zig Zag on Santino Marella en route to pinning the United States Champion to pick up the win for himself and Cody Rhodes.

 

ZackDown also featured a titanic showdown as one of the four competitors in the WWE Championship Contract Money-in-the-Bank Ladder Match, “The World’s Largest Athlete” Big Show, went one-on-one with “The Punjabi Giant” The Great Khali. Big Show felled The Great Khali quickly as Show toppled Khali with the W.M.D. en route to picking up an impressive win.

 

After Curt Hawkins failed to defeat Ryback on last week’s SmackDown, Hawkins’ tag partner, Tyler Reks, would try his hand at victory as Reks went one-on-one with “The Undefeated War Machine” Ryback on ZackDown. Despite Tyler Reks getting a few shots in on Ryback, Ryback was still able to hit Shell Shocked on Reks en route to racking up another dominant victory.

 

Another participant in the World Heavyweight Championship Contract Money-in-the-Bank Ladder Match was in action on ZackDown as Damien Sandow went one-on-one with Justin Gabriel. In the end, it was Damien Sandow hitting the straightjacket neckbreaker on Justin Gabriel en route to picking up the win.

 

Then it was time for the main event as, two nights before he defends the gold against Alberto Del Rio at Money-in-the-Bank, World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus went one-on-one with one of the four competitors in the WWE Championship Contract Money-in-the-Bank Ladder Match, Chris Jericho, in a non-title match. At the end of an incredibly hard-fought match, it was Sheamus blasting Chris Jericho with the Brogue Kick en route to picking up a huge win. After the match, Sheamus was celebrating his win on the staging area when Alberto Del Rio’s music hits. As the World Heavyweight Champion watches a car pull into the arena, Sheamus is blindsided by Del Rio as Del Rio delivers an enziguiri to the champion before hanging Sheamus off of the stage while holding Sheamus’ arm in the cross armbreaker for several minutes before referees were finally able to break the hold!

Crazy, stupid love.

Six nights before Money-in-the-Bank and two weeks before the 1,000th episode of RAW, the 998th edition of WWE Monday Night RAW came to you, live, from the Pepsi Center in Denver, CO. After her shocking actions on last week’s RAW when she shoved WWE Champion CM Punk off of the top rope, who fell on Daniel Bryan before both men crashed through a table, what will the Special Referee for the WWE Championship match at Money-in-the-Bank, A.J., have in store for both Superstars on RAW?

With no announcement made, the world is left wondering, just who will be the Interim General Manager of this week’s RAW? After legends like Vader, “Rowdy” Roddy Piper, Sycho Sid, Doink, and Diamond Dallas Page have re-emerged for special appearances on RAW over the last few weeks, what past RAW Superstar will appear in celebration of the upcoming 1,000th episode of RAW?

Detailed Results

After sending both CM Punk and Daniel Bryan through a table on last week’s RAW and locking lips with both the champion and challenger on last week’s Super SmackDown Live, RAW kicks off with the Special Referee for the WWE Championship match at Money-in-the-Bank, A.J. The unhinged Diva says that being the Special Referee means that she can “greatly affect the outcome” of the title match and the thought of that is “overwhelming” and “emotional”. A.J. then introduces WWE Champion CM Punk, who makes his way to the ring. The WWE Champion asks A.J. what she wants and A.J. says that Punk showed his true feelings for her on SmackDown when he suggested that she needs professional help. A.J. then disputes that she does not need any professional help because she has full control of all her “mental faculties”. An emotional A.J. continues that no one has ever cared about her, much less showed “compassion and concern” like Punk did and, when she kissed him, she knew it and she knew what she had to do. A.J. says that Punk’s eyes send love straight into her heart and he fills her with “passion” and “desire”, saying that the WWE Champion turns her “on”. A.J. then says that she now knows what she “has to do” before the unbalanced Diva gets down on bended knee and asks CM Punk to marry her!

 

Before a shocked and confused CM Punk can respond, Daniel Bryan rushes out, shouting “no”, saying that he cannot allow A.J. to make the “biggest mistake” of her life. Bryan accuses Punk of “playing” A.J. since A.J. is the Special Referee for their title match, saying that he has “never stopped caring” for A.J. and Punk only cares about himself. The WWE Champion says that Bryan knows nothing about him and he certainly knows nothing about how he feels about A.J. Bryan then dares CM Punk to say “I do” and claims that, while Punk sees A.J. as a Special Referee, he sees her as a “special person”. Things then continue to get more bizarre as Daniel Bryan says that he woke up this morning and had the same plan as A.J. before Bryan gets down on one knee and proposes to A.J.! Punk calls Bryan’s bluff, saying that Bryan does not even have a ring before telling A.J. that the two of them should talk about things in the back, but Bryan tells Punk not to “talk down” to his “future fiancée”. A familiar but long absent sound then rings throughout the arena before Michael Cole gets up from his seat and reveals that he has just received an email from the anonymous RAW General Manager! Cole then unveils the anonymous GM’s laptop stand, reading the GM’s email that reveals that he/she is running RAW this week before the anonymous GM announces the main event as WWE Champion CM Punk will team with A.J. to face Daniel Bryan and Eve in a Mixed Tag Match! Bryan says that he should get to team with A.J., but the GM stands by his decision. After hearing this news, A.J. says that she is really happy to have the match because she believes that “everything happens for a reason”, vowing to walk out of the arena tonight with her “future husband”!

 

After a vicious attack with the hood of a car by Alberto Del Rio on last week’s Super SmackDown Live, an angry Sheamus was in action on RAW as the World Heavyweight Champion went one-on-one with “The All-American American” Jack Swagger in a non-title match. Sheamus makes quick work of Jack Swagger, blasting Swagger with the Brogue Kick en route to picking up the win. After the match, Alberto Del Rio appears on the Titan Tron, saying that, last week, he did to Sheamus what no man has ever done by assaulting Sheamus and leaving him in a heap and, this Sunday at Money-in-the-Bank, he will take the World Heavyweight Title from Sheamus. The World Heavyweight Champion responds to this by hitting a second Brogue Kick on Jack Swagger!

 

It was announced during RAW that the one and only “People’s Champion” The Rock will be a part of the gigantic 1,000th episode of RAW spectacular in two weeks, joining other huge stars such as Brock Lesnar and D-Generation X!

 

With Vickie Guerrero a guest on commentary, four of the seven participants in the World Heavyweight Championship Contract Money-in-the-Bank Ladder Match faced off in tag team action as Intercontinental Champion Christian teams with Tyson Kidd to face Dolph Ziggler & Tensai. In the end, it was Tensai hitting the Tenson on Christian en route to picking up the win. After the match, Tensai targets the man who defeated him last week, Tyson Kidd, as Tensai tosses Kidd into the ringside barricade before powerbombing Kidd on the ring apron and hitting the Tenson on Kidd on the floor, much to the impression of Vickie Guerrero!

 

An argument between Michael Cole and Jerry “The King” Lawler at the announce table over who should be the permanent General Manager leads to Cole inadvertently splashing water all over the Hall of Famer. The anonymous GM then chimes in with an email that Cole refuses to read, but Lawler does read it, revealing that “The King” will go one-on-one with Michael Cole in a WrestleMania Rematch! After Cole protests, demanding that the anonymous GM change the match, the GM leaves it to the WWE fans to make the call as the GM tells the fans to go to WWE.com and vote for whether or not they want to see Cole face Lawler.

 

“The Funkasaurus” was in action on RAW as Brodus Clay went one-on-one with Drew McIntyre. Brodus makes quick work of the former Intercontinental Champion as Brodus hits the Funkasplash on Drew McIntyre en route to picking up the win.

 

Before he joins Big Show, Kane, and Chris Jericho in the WWE Championship Contract Money-in-the-Bank Ladder Match at Money-in-the-Bank, John Cena appears on RAW. Cena says that the Money-in-the-Bank Ladder Match is a “brutal, punishing match”, but yields an incomparable opportunity at the WWE Title. Cena continues that anyone can become “ruthless” when vying for the contract, saying that every Superstar who has won the Money-in-the-Bank briefcase has gone on to win the WWE or World Heavyweight Title. Cena re-iterates that, at Money-in-the-Bank, he promises to stop Big Show and he will do whatever he has to do to become the next “Mr. Money-in-the-Bank”, promising victory in the four-man Ladder Match.

 

Six nights before they go to war in the WWE Championship Contract Money-in-the-Bank Ladder Match, John Cena would team with his former rival, “The Big Red Monster” Kane to face the former tag team partners, Chris Jericho and “The World’s Largest Athlete” Big Show! During the match, John Cena hits the Attitude Adjustment on Chris Jericho, but Big Show pulls John Cena out of the ring and hurls him into the barricade before Show takes Kane down, as well. With the match out of control, the referee calls for the bell. After the match, Big Show slides two steel ladders into the ring before Show drives a ladder into the chest of Kane, as well as Chris Jericho. Show then drags Jericho over to a ladder and lays Jericho in the middle of the ladder, using the ladder to sandwich Jericho between the layers of steel! Cena then makes the save, using a ladder to send Big Show careening out of the ring!

 

It was revealed on RAW that one more Superstar will be added to the World Heavyweight Championship Contract Money-in-the-Bank Ladder Match and a Money-in-the-Bank Qualifying Match determined the eighth Superstar in the match as Sin Cara went one-on-one with Heath Slater. In the end, it was Sin Cara hitting the Cara Go-Round en route to picking up the win to join Damien Sandow, Tyson Kidd, Christian, Santino Marella, Tensai, Cody Rhodes, and Dolph Ziggler in the World Heavyweight Championship Contract Money-in-the-Bank Ladder Match.

 

After the match, a frustrated Heath Slater demands that any former champion come out there and he will beat them, but the former champion that Slater got was none other than the second-longest reigning WWE Champion in history, Bob Backlund! Despite Slater’s best efforts to embarrass the professional and collegiate champion, Backlund would lock in the Crossface Chicken Wing on Slater, forcing the brash Superstar to tap out!

 

Despite Michael Cole’s begging, the WWE fans would unanimously vote that they wanted to see the WrestleMania Rematch between Michael Cole and Jerry “The King” Lawler and, with Booker T and Josh Mathews on commentary, the match would take place. Early on, Michael Cole tries to escape the ring, but Booker T tosses Cole back in and, shortly after this, “The King” sends Cole for the ride with a classic Airplane Spin before pinning Cole for the win. After the match, in a scene very similar to that of WrestleMania last year, the anonymous RAW General Manager chimes in and, due to Booker T’s interference, awards the match to Michael Cole via disqualification. Santino Marella then comes out and, with the help of Jerry Lawler, gets Hornswoggle from under the ring as Hornswoggle is revealed as the anonymous GM and Hornswoggle kicks Lawler and Cole in their shins before escaping the ring.

 

Then it was time for the main event as WWE Champion CM Punk teams with A.J. to face the team of the #1 Contender for the WWE Title, Daniel Bryan, and former Executive Administrator, Eve, in a Mixed Tag Match. During the match, Daniel Bryan refuses to take the tag from Eve, which leads to A.J. rolling Eve up to pick up the win for herself and CM Punk. After the match, Daniel Bryan tells A.J. that he just proved that she means more to him than a match before saying that they should leave and go get married. Before A.J. makes a decision, CM Punk says that Daniel Bryan just wants to curry favor with A.J. so she will help him become the WWE Champion. Punk then says that he does not care if what he is about to say costs him the WWE Title before Punk says that he does not want to marry A.J., saying that at least he cares enough about A.J. to tell her the truth. A.J. responds by slapping the WWE Champion across the face, which puts a big smile on the face of Daniel Bryan, but A.J. slaps Bryan across the face as well! A.J. then leaves the ring, chanting “yes”, again leaving everyone in a state of bewilderment.

What did you think of this week’s RAW? Post your comments in the box below.

SmackDown! Result » July 3 2012 (The Great American Bash Special Live Edition)

Before the opening video, they had a backstage party segment.  Among the party guests were Alicia Fox, Usos, Hornswoggle, Primo, Epico, Rosa Mendes, Kaitlyn, Tamina and Yoshi Tatsu. Teddy Long came in to welcome everyone to Great American Bash, then they showed Eve wearing a big name tag.  He said she's volunteered to clean up afterwords tonight.  Teddy introduced Santino, who went to light up the BBQ grill, but Kane showed up and made the grill fire start up.

They showed footage of Alberto Del Rio destroying Sin Cara on Raw this past Monday.  Del Rio came out to start the show after the commentators hyped up tonight's 20-man battle royal, and a Michael Cole interview with AJ Lee.  Del Rio started calling the fans peasants just like Sheamus.  He asked one fan for his papers, then called a little kid a little alien.  He goes after one guy, asking security to get rid of him.  Sheamus comes out and they start to go at it.  Eventually, Ricardo Rodriguez helps ADR doubleteam Sheamus.  Ricardo pops the hood of ADR's fancy car near the ramp, and Del Rio smashes it onto Sheamus' back several times, to leave him laying on the floor.

Great Khali and Layla defeated Antonio Cesaro and Aksana by pinfall.  Late in this one, Khali started to dominate Cesaro, so he made a tag to Aksana to get out.  Layla tagged in and tackled Aksana down.  The two divas rolled around a bit fighting.  Layla smacks Aksana on the backside before slamming her and getting a near fall.  Cesaro came in to break up the pin, but that brought Khali in to toss him out of the ring.  Layla and Aksana grapple a bit more, before Layla manages to score a winning pin.

Backstage, Cody Rhodes told Teddy Long the board is allowing him to compete in another MITB qualifying match this week.  Teddy said he gets to pick the opponent and it won't be someone who is trying to qualify.



Cody Rhodes defeated Christian by pinfall to qualify for the (World Heavyweight Championship contract) MITB match.  Late in the match, Rhodes undid the corner turnbuckle cover but the ref went over to stop him.  Christian hit a reverse DDT on Rhodes for a near fall.  Moments later, he went for a Spear, but Rhodes caught him with a kick, but then missed on Beautiful Disaster.  Christian went for Killswitch, but Rhodes countered with Cross Rhodes for the win.

The World Championship contract edition of the MITB match now will have Tyson Kidd, Christian, Damien Sandow, Santino Marella, Cody Rhodes, and Lord Tensai.

Backstage, they showed more of the BBQ party.  Zack Ryder went over and told Teddy the party is sick.  Ryder asked to take over DJing the event.  Teddy told him to go ahead.  Heath Slater came over saying nobody wants to hear that and started singing his "one man band" song.  Everyone started throwing stuff at him so he left.  Ryder went over and pressed a button on a laptop and it started playing Brodus Clay's theme song.  Clay showed up with his two dancers, and everyone joined them for a group dance session.

Dolph Ziggler defeated Alex Riley by pinfall to qualify for the MITB match.  Cole incorrectly said if Alex Riley were to win this one he has no experience in MITB.  Riley competed in the 2011 Raw MITB match which Alberto Del Rio won.  In this match, Riley had several near falls.  After one of them, Ziggler rolled onto the apron, with A-Ry going over to grab him from inside the ring.  Dolph dropped him down neck first against the top rope, then slid back in the ring and hit the Zig Zag for the quick win.  Ziggler hs competed in MITB matches in 2010 and 2011.

Michael Cole conducted an interview with WWE diva AJ Lee in the ring.  Cole referred to AJ as anything but balanced lately.  AJ tried to respond, but Cole cut her off and had footage shown from Raw with AJ's interactions involving Bryan and Punk.  At the end of Raw she shoved them both through a table outside the ring during their match.

After the footage, Cole said it appeared AJ wasn't thinking and she switches allegiances on a dime.  Cole said the WWE Board has made a big mistake to make AJ special referee at MITB.  Cole suggested that maybe AJ should pursue a real man, one with power and influence, maybe a former war correspondent turned "voice of the WWE."  As Cole was offering himself up, Daniel Bryan's music hit and he came to the ring holding his left arm.  Bryan called Cole a sexist, emotionally abusive bully.  He said Cole is like the rest of the media, just making up news and putting words in people's mouths.  Bryan continued trying to butter up AJ with his compliments about her as special ref.

Bryan kept going on with the compliments, until Punk's music hit and the WWE champ came to the ring to interject.  Punk kicked Cole out of the ring saying this has nothing to do with him.  Punk said he's not going to be like Bryan and kiss up, but he's going to be blunt.  He told AJ she's not in a good place mentally, and maybe it's partly his fault.  He suggested she get professional help which drew a look of upset on her face.  Punk said he's not going to lie to AJ and toy with her emotions.

Bryan cut in and said Punk is pretending he's concerned, but he only cares that she's the special referee.  Punk went after Bryan but AJ got in between them.  She looked at Bryan, then planted a big kiss on h im in front of Punk.  Punk left the ring looking confused, but then AJ jumped out of the ring, spun him around b the arm, and planted a big kiss on him.  After she finished, she skipped up the ramp as her music played and both Bryan/Punk were shocked.

US Champion Santino came to the ring and then introduced his two tag team partners - Sgt. Slaughter and Hacksaw Jim Duggan, who each arrived out seperately.  Their opponents - Drew McIntyre, Hunico and Camacho.

Santino Marella, Hacksaw Jim Duggan and Sgt. Slaughter defeated Hunico, Camacho, and Drew McIntyre by pinfall in a six-man tag team match.  Late in the match, there was a pinfall broken up by the heels, with all wrestlers getting involved in the ring.  Sarge took out Drew and Camacho.  Hunico who thought he had control on Hacksaw, ran into an elbow in the corner.  Duggan made the tag to Santino who pulled out his Cobra sock and hit the punch move for the win.

They had a backstage segment with Damien Sandow showing up to pull the plug on the party music, causing an uproar by all the divas and superstars there.  Ryder got in his face and called him bro, with Sandow saying he's not his brother in any way.  Ryder suggested Sandow should just leave.  Sandow looked like he was about to, but then punched Ryder and the two started to fight.  Ryder gained the upperhand, knocking Sandow to the ground.  Ryder then picked up a bowl of punch and tried to throw it on Sandow, who ducked, so Eve was the recipient of all the punch.  Teddy Long laughed about it and said "This is my kinda party" as Eve stormed off.

Ryback defeated Curt Hawkins via pinfall.  Reks and Hawkins were in the ring.  Reks said they had a coin flip about which of them could beat Ryback and Hawkins won it.  Matthews said Ryback's undefeated in WWE (as Ryback, not Skip Sheffield).  As usual, Ryback dominated from the start.  At one point, Hawkins avoided Ryback in the corner, but was caught by a huge clothesline and then his feat of strength backdrop finisher.  Matthews said Ryback chants "Feed me more" after he wins because in WWE it's "eat or be eaten."

The commentators reviewed what happened earlier between Sheamus and Alberto Del Rio at the top of the stage near ADR's fancy car.

The commentators hyped up a Great American Bash 20-Man Battle Royal featuring Justin Gabriel, Heath Slater, Jack Swagger, Zack Ryder, Cody Rhodes, Lord Tensai, Brodus Clay, Dolph Ziggler, Damien Sandow, Kofi Kingston, Great Khali, Kane, Christian, Alberto Del Rio, CM Punk, John Cena, Sheamus, Daniel Bryan, Santino Marella and Big Show.  The winner gets to be General Manager for Smackdown next week.

Late in this one, it was down to about 10 or less guys.  Tensai, Ziggler and Del Rio triple-teamed Cena in the corner, but he battled back and dropped them all, getting the crowd excited.  Cena managed to toss Del Rio out then did the AA on Kane.  Tensai kicked Cena and tried to toss him out, but Cena powered his way out and backflipped Tensai.  However, Big Show walked up behind Cena and dumped him out of the ring.  Ryder tried to take down Show but got speared.  Christian jumped off the corner at him, but got caught by Show and dropped out of the ring.  Show then looked at his handiwork near the ropes, and Ziggler jumped on his back with a sleeper hold.  Kane went over and shoved Show over the top rope, eliminating both guys.

It came down to Kane vs. Ryder, with the Big Red Monster dominating as he stomped on Zack in the corner.  He got Zack on his shoulder but Ryder slid off.  However, Kane hit a big boot to drop him again.  Moments later, Ryder executed a drop toe hold and sent Kane into the corner, then hit a Broski Boot.  He set up for Rough Ryder, but Kane caught him for a chokeslam.  Ryder slipped out of it and went towards the ropes.  Kane rushed at him, but Ryder dropped down, holding the rope down for Kane to fall out.  Zack Ryder won the 20-man Great American Bash Battle Royal, and now gets to be the GM for Smackdown next week.
