Our first match of the night is Edge vs. Orton. Orton takes advantage early on. Orton has been punishing Edge and he pushes Edge from the apron into the security wall as we go to commercial. Back with Edge ramming Orton's shoulder into the ringpost then pushing Orton off the apron so he lands right on top of the announce table. Edge rolls him back in and gets 2. Orton fights back and they fight on the top turnbuckle with Edge getting the upper hand but Orton dropkicks him in mid air. Inverted backbreaker from Orton gets him 2 the hits a powerslam for another nearfall. Edge manages to roll him up to get a nearfall. Edge takes the pad off the turnbuckle but the ref catches him which sets up a series of nearfalls. Edge and Orton both put their feet on the ropes for a pin but the ref catches both.
