Full Match

The show commenced with ECW Champion, Jack Swagger, defending his title against Christian. Swagger dominated his opponent early in the match, succeeding in grounding him with takedowns, suplexes, and some heavy slams. Christian managed to capitalize after dodging some of Swagger's attacks before the two both went down; leading to both men staggering into opposite corners, removing the padding on the top turnbuckle closest to their respective positions. As Swagger ran to attack his opponent, Christian dodged one last tackle, having Swagger's head collide with the exposed steel, before grabbing him by the arms, and connecting with his finishing move, the Killswitch, driving his head into the mat and pinning him to win his first ECW title.
