Evan Bourne & Ricky Ortiz VS Bam Neely & Chavo Guerrero

During this match Bourne almost got the victory for his team after an impressive move and almost pinning Bam Neely. Veteran Chavo Guerrero was not going to let it happen that easy though and went over to break it up. Ricky Ortiz then went at it with Chavo outside of the ring. Meanwhile in the ring, Bam Neely tried a monster clothesline on Evan Bourne but missed as Bourne ducked and then was able to roll up Bam for the pin and the victory.

Highlights were shown of last weeks tag team match between the Miz and John Morrison against Finlay and Hornswoggle. During that match Mike Knox attacked Finlay and gave him a good beating in the ring.

Mike Knox then starts talking from the center of the ring. He talks about how the days of Finlay being a tough wrestler are long gone because now he's dancing with a leprechaun. Footage was also shown of Finlay and Hornswoggle dancing in front of a huge mansion. Knox continued to insult Finlay and then Finlay came down the isle with Hornswoggle. Finlay told Knox that he likes to have fun and he loves his family but then offered Knox a chance to take a shot at him to see if he has gone soft or not. Knox thought better of it though and left the ring.

Armando Estrada VS Tommy Dreamer

Todd Grisham reminded fans that if Armando loses tonight's match he's got to leave town, meaning the ECW roster. During this match Delaney appeared up on the apron to distract Dreamer. Armando Estrada took advantage of this and smacked Tommy Dreamer from behind which led to a roll up pin and a victory for Estrada. He celebrated the victory as he was able to keep his roster spot on ECW.

Backstage in the locker room, Estrada asked Delaney why he helped him out there after all Estrada did to him as GM. Delaney said he gave him a shot to earn his contract, and he wanted to get even with Dreamer. Just then, Teddy Long came rushing in and told Delaney that in exchange for what he just pulled he gets to face Tommy Dreamer next week in an Extreme Rules match.

Braden Walker VS James Curtis

Would James Curtis finally get a victory on ECW? Branden Walker was not going to let it happen as he ended this match with a fisherman's suplex on James Curtis and got the cover.

Miz & Morrison introduced their debut episode of Dirt Sheet on ECW, then introduced their special guests. On the Titantron, a picture of Mark Henry appeared with someone else's lips moving for his. They had the same for Tony Atlas on the Titantron, with both men talking in funny voices that nobody could understand. As Miz & Morrison continued to mock the two, all of a sudden Mark Henry and Tony Atlas appeared from backstage and rushed down to the ring. Henry got in the ring angry and went after Miz and Morrison. Tony Atlas confronted Miz & Morrison and said he knows this must be a misunderstanding because they were not invited onto the show to be disrespected. Miz and Morrison said they'd rather disrespect their next guest, Matt Hardy. Once again they used the moving lips joke with a pic of Matt Hardy on the Titantron. Hardy began to talk like Forrest Gump after Morrison asked a question. Then the real Hardy appeared from backstage and came to the ring. Hardy said it's good to see Miz and Morrison are such big Conan O'Brien fans, as they used the same joke he does on his late night show. Hardy explained how he became #1 Contender for the ECW title, by winning a 4 man match which included Miz and Morrison. Hardy said following Summerslam he'll be the ECW champ. Miz and Morrison became upset at Hardy coming onto their show and disrespecting them. Miz went to attack Hardy, but Hardy punched first, knocking Miz down. As Matt went after Miz, Morrison tried to attack Matt. Matt ducked Morrison's attempt and Morrison wound up punching Henry. Henry angrily handed his ECW belt to Tony Atlas then went after Morrison, knocking him down with 1 punch. Meanwhile, Matt Hardy disposed of The Miz from the ring. ECW ended with Matt Hardy and Mark Henry in the ring staring each other down.
