OFFICIAL RESULT: AND NEW CHAMPION Kofi Kingston @ 21:00 via pin
RATING: ***½

-Matt Striker is with Kofi after his win. Kofi is excited and says that he said it was his time. The challenge was tough, but he did it and is now the new IC Champion. He names Savage, Steamboat, HBK as former titleholders, and says this is not just about him, this is about the fans in the arena. This is about the WWE Universe. He says you can have fun and still win. He then does the “boom, boom, boom” as a message to Miz.

-Josh Matthews tries to interview Miz backstage. When asked about no longer being the IC Champion, Miz says it is like losing a vital organ. Kofi stole the title from him, and this is a bad dream, a nightmare. Kofi as IC Champion? He wants a rematch, to regain what is his.

RATING: NR

-Vickie says everyone talked about the Miz vs. Kofi match, the person people should be talking about is Dolph Ziggler. She says at HIAC, he could cash in his MITB contract. Ziggler then says he deserves better than Ryder, because Ryder is a loser. Ziggler says he is the best thing going and the main event. He challenges anyone in the back for next week’s main event…

-FEED ME… FEED ME MORE… Ryback comes out on the ramp, and I think it is safe to assume he has accepted the challenge.

-End scene.
