ECW I: Swagger Wins the Big One

For the first time in its history, we were treated to a 90 Minute Edition of ECW.  Just one week before the Draft, superstars were getting ready for things to be shaken up.  And boy, were things shaken up.

"The Tuesday Night Delight" John Morrison and his Tag Team Partner Dolph Ziggler made it known that they were the best in the business, and said that the Battle Creek Crowd didn't deserve to be graced with their presence.  This brought out Evan Bourne and ECW Newcomer Ren.  Bourne and Ren challenged Morrison and Ziggler to a match for the ECW Tag Team Championships.  Morrison and Ziggler controlled most of the match, but in the end, it was Bourne and Ren that walked out of Battle Creek with the ECW Tag Team Championships after Morrison accidentally knocked Ziggler's lights out with a Springboard Kick, allowing Bourne and Ren to capitalize and leave with the gold.

Chris Jericho put The Undertaker on notice, letting The Deadman know that he has a Rematch Clause, and he intends to cash it in and win back the ECW Championship.

That was earlier in the night.  After a grueling match with Mark Henry - in which The Deadman emerged victorious after a Tombstone Piledriver - The Undertaker was brutally assaulted by The World's Strongest Man.  Henry left after planting The Deadman with not one - but two - World's Strongest Slams.  Just when it seemed like things couldn't get any worse for The Deadman, Jack Swagger - Mr. Money in the Bank - made his way to the ring.  The Deadman sat up, but Swagger blasted him with the Briefcase, destroying any hopes that The Deadman had of getting to his feet.  Swagger cashed in the Briefcase and hit The defenseless Deadman with a Swagger Bomb, right before pinning him to win the ECW Championship.  The question remains--has Swagger made a mistake and gotten on The Deadman's bad side?

In a weird turn of events, Ted DiBiase was found unconscious in his locker room just minutes before his U.S. Title Tournament Match with Tyson Kidd.  Kidd tried to get the Referee to declare him the winner, but Theodore Long would have none of it, telling Kidd that Kurt Angle would take DiBiase's place, and face Kidd next week.

U.S. Champion Dustin Delta saw success in a match with Matt Hardy thanks to a distraction from his wife Rachel.  Delta said he wasn't going to face Kurt Angle at Backlash, but now, he may have no choice.
