1. Heath Slater def. Alex Riley.

2. Lord Tensai def. Tyson Kidd.

3. Jey & Jimmy Uso def. Dolph Ziggler & Jack Swagger when Jey pinned Swagger.

1. Heath Slater vs. Alex Riley.

Seems that the only time Slater actually makes any headway anymore is when he's on Superstars. Like, when was the last time he won a match on either of the big 2 shows? Very good opener, given a ton of time. Riley hit the A-Bomb (DDT off the middle rope) for 2, but wasted time arguing with ref Charles Robinson. Slater came back with a side suplex dropped into a faceplant to pick up a rare win. Winner: Heath Slater.

Interesting in that Scott Stanford claimed there was a Twitter war going on between Slater & Flo Rida, spinning out of Wrestlemania, and that Slater is buds with country singer Trace Adkins. Hmmmm.

2. Lord Tensai (w/Sakamoto) vs. Tyson Kidd.

Protracted squash. Kidd was treated like a rent-a-jobber here, though he was given a modicum of offense. Tensai hit a falling derailer, then, without the green mist (apparently Tyson wasn't worthy of such abuse), he used the claw/STO finish, which was last employed in WWE by Kenzo Suzuki. Winner: Lord Tensai.

Post-match, Tensai risked a reverse-decision DQ by hitting the senton on an already prone Kidd for no reason.

3. Dolph Ziggler & Jack Swagger (w/Vickie Guerrero) vs. Jey & Jimmy Uso.

With Ziggler & Swagger in line for a tag title shot at Over the Limit, you'd think they'd win here, right? Well, think again. They got the heat on Jimmy for several minutes, but inevitably, Jey took the hot tag, with Swagger in at the same time. Guerrero got on the apron, which distracted Jey as he was about to hit the Samoan Drop on Swagger. Ziggler broke that up. Swagger goes for the Doctor Bomb, but Jey escapes and schoolboys the former World & ECW champion. Winners: Jey & Jimmy Uso.
