David Otunga w/ PRO R-Truth v. Darren Young w/ PRO CM Punk & Straight Edge
Society
Darren Young requested this rematch from last week.
The match starts off with Darren being whipped into the ropes and hit with two
consecutive arm drags. He is sent to the mat with a scoop slam, but kicks out of
the cover. Young is whipped into the corner, but bounces back into the ring and
hits a neckbreaker on Otunga. Young gets on David’s back and locks in a neck
hold. The crowd is firmly behind Otunga.
David escapes the hold by lifting Young into the air and dropping him to the
mat. He goes for the cover, but Young kicks out. Darren sends Otunga to the
apron, then slams his neck against the top rope which sends David to the
outside. When Otunga tries to re-enter the ring, Young knocks him once again to

shoulder thrusts to the ribs. Wade goes for the cover, but Bryan kicks out. A
shot in the back shows The Miz & Carlito watching the match. Wade sets Bryan up
against the ropes and goes for a splash, but Daniel side steps and Wade crashes
to the outside. Bryan leaps off the apron with a huge knee to the outside on
Barret! Wade gets back inside the ring, and Daniel heads to the apron once
again. He goes for a springboard, but due to his injured side he can’t support
himself and crashes to the mat. Wade lifts him high into the air and hits his
finisher.
