CM Punk Confronts La Familia
Pretty good segment here.
La Familia are in the ring together. That's always a good thing for a stable to at least act like a cohesive unit.
As the heels brag about their title shots at Backlash, CM Punk comes out and reminds everyone that he's the Money in the Bank winner. Sure wished WWE would have given CM Punk a feud to work with after Wrestlemania 24, but we'll have to settle for this. |

Shannon Moore vs The Miz
Good match that could have been that much more entertaining if the writers had given us a reason for the match. The half hearted feud between these two teams needs to do something to keep the heat.
Winner: Shannon Moore |

Natalya Neidhart vs Cherry
This was Natayla Neidhart's debut match for WWE. The hype for this match was basically more because of her heritage than it was because of the weak storyline. Match was decent, but it wasn't anything that's going to blow you away. The use of the Sharpshooter and the dropping of the last name suggests that WWE is going to try to capitalize on the Hart name.
Winner: Natalya Neidhart |

Interview With Matt Hardy & MVP
The segment itself was pretty good, but it's hard not to be disappointed with how the storyline has lost almost all of its momentum. The writing simply does not have time to come up with something creative to keep this feud going. |

Edge vs CM Punk
Very entertaining match between these two guys. If these guys ever end up feuding, it could become one of the most entertaining feuds of the year. Smart booking here as both guys come out still strong thanks to interference from Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder.
Winner: Edge |

Vladimir Kozlov vs Marty Garner
Does anyone even need for me to write down what happened in this match? If you don't know, check the results from the past few weeks. Same old, same old.
Winner: Vladimir Kozlov |

World Heavyweight Championship Match
Batista vs Undertaker
Not on the same quality as their pay per view matches, but it was a good match nonetheless. The ratings for this match would have been higher if WWE had done a better job of making us believe that a title change could possibly happen.
Nice touch having Shawn Michaels interfering and costing Batista the match. That adds more fuel to their Backlash match.
Winner: Undertaker |

Pretty good show, but it needed to be a lot stronger since it was the final episode before the big pay per view. |
