Captures | Digitals
Captures are now up. Sorry for the delay!
Hunter took the mic and asked L.A. if everyone is ready. He did the Michael Buffer intro and inserted a promo on Cody and Ted that if they’re ready for a war, they have a war to bring them. Get ready to suck it… Legacy’s music hit. Cody and Ted confidently strolled to the ring with Hunter staring down DiBiase. Cody opposite his favorite wrestler growing up.
DX (Shawn Michaels & Triple H) vs. LEGACY (Ted Dibiase & Cody Rhodes)
Hunter and DiBiase started against each other. Potential title match down the road in a singles match-up. Hunter exploded out of the corner with a clothesline on DiBiase early on. He followed with a suplex before delivering a crotch chop and a knee to the forehead for an early nearfall. Cody then tagged in and took some offense from Hunter. Cody then realized he was caught in between both members of DX, so he slapped Michaels across the face. Michaels sold that slap and milked it for a while before slowly looking over to Hunter for a tag. Big pop for Michaels’s first entry into a WWE match since WM25. Michael Cole quickly pointed that out. Cody and Michaels had a physical exchange and Michaels teased Sweet Chin Music, but Cody rolled to the outside to avoid and recover.
Back in the ring, Legacy worked on Michaels before Hunter tagged in. He went after DiBiase with power offense before giving each man consecutive spinebusters. Hunter teased the Pedigree on DiBiase, but Cody broke it up and Michaels clotheslined Cody to the outside. Hunter started celebrating too early, then he turned around and took a big knee smash to the cannon from DiBiase. That looked nasty. Both men sold the effects, then Legacy started working over Hunter. Babyfaces on the disadvantage, prompting Lawler with the classic sports line about DX becoming complacent, thinking they could just “show up and win” the match. We’ll be seeing that the first few weeks of college football season with teams playing Directional State schools.
