Angle beats up Cena on the outside and sends him into the steel steps. Angle nails Cena face first off the spanish announce table. Angle clears the table and picks up Cena. Cena then grabs Angle and gives him the FU right on the spanish announce table breaking it to pieces. Cena gets back in the ring and the referee raises his arm in the air along with the WWE Championship. They show a replay of the finish and then Cena's FU on Angle through the announce table. The PPV goes off the air with Cena heading up the ramp celebrating with the WWE Championship...


Well, this actually seems like a solid show except for the DQ ending but I undertand that is to continue the feud, worthy of getting on DVD, 2 title changes, Flair getting his first I-C Title and Matt beating Edge, and Trish's return to the ring.

Glad to see Flair getting the IC strap...as wierd as that seems. Should be interesting to see how that plays when Trips comes back next month. Also nice to see Hardy pick up a win on Edge. Looks like that fued still has a LONG way to go.
