BACKSTAGE SEGMENT: Fit Finlay was shown backstage looking for Hornswoggle..
HIGHLIGHT REEL: WrestleMania 20..
SINGLES MATCH
Evan Bourne defeated Jamie Noble with a Shooting Star Press: It’s good to see that Jamie Noble was not seriously injured a few weeks ago after some careless bumps in a match with Mike Knox… Tyson Kidd & Natalya Neidhart were shown watching the match on a monitor backstage….
BACKSTAGE SEGMENT: Fit Finlay finally found Hornswoggle backstage having some fun at Katie Lea’s expense..
ON-STAGE SEGMENT: Jack Swagger said he knew everybody missed him, but he was not going to compete this week. Swagger cut a short promo and held up the ECW championship. What was the point of that?
BACKSTAGE SEGMENT
Theodore Long & Tiffany: Tiffany pitched an idea to Theodore Long to dedicate next week’s episode of ECW on Sci-Fi to the Divas for a full hour. Paul Birchill & Katie Lea came in and complained about Hornswoggle harassing them with corn beef and cabbage. Theodore Long said Fit Finlay would meet them in the ring to “talk” about it..
SINGLES MATCH
Fit Finlay w/Hornswoggle defeated Paul Burchill w/Katie Lea:
IN THE RING (THE DIRT SHEET)
John Morrison & Mike Mizanin with The Bella Twins + The Colon Brothers (Carlito & Primo): John Morrison introduced themselves and their girlfriends, the Bella Twins. The Miz asked one of the Bellas to explain why they were with them. She didn’t seem sure, but the other Bella explained that they liked winners. The Miz called out Primo and Carlito, but then he and Morrison put their ass-masks on to make fun of the Colons. Miz’s Bella didn’t think it was funny, but Morrison’s Bella was amused. The Colons came out and set up the Cabana in the ring and confronted Miz & Morrison. Carlito said the boys look better with those masks on. The Colons challenged Miz & Morrison to a match at WrestleMania for a unification match putting up both the WWE and World Tag Team championships.. The Miz accepted the challenge and said they would prove why they are the greatest tag team of the twentieth century. Carlito spit out his apple at the Miz, but accidentally hit one of the Bellas! The other Bella started laughing so they got into a catfight and had to be pulled apart. It looks like each team has posession of one Bella now..

OPINIÃO GERAL:
Bom episódio, ainda que o destaque vá claramente para o final. Miz & Morrison vs Carlito & Primo para unificação dos títulos no WM25 vai ser certamente muito bom, se lhes derem algum tempo, e o envolvimento das Bellas na história torna tudo ainda melhor. Grande trabalho nesta rivalidade menor por parte da WWE, que parecia ter isto pensado já há algum tempo.
Evan Bourne voltou e continua a ser um óbvio destaque de todos os episódios no qual participa. O combate contra o Tyson Kidd deverá ser muito bom.
Para a semana um ECW versão SHIMMER? Agrada-me!
