The following is courtesy of wrestleview.com ...
The show kicks off with highlights from last week on ECW when Big Show defeated Sabu to retain the ECW World Title.
- Paul Heyman is then shown backstage. Heyman says he is the father of Extreme Championship Wrestling, it is his concept and his life. He notes that he has never competed in an ECW ring because he has never had to. Heyman says he has been left with no other choice but to face Sabu in an Extreme Rules Match. He showed his taped up hands and promised to beat Sabu tonight 1...2...3.
- The ECW promo hits. We then go live to Reading, PA. Rob Van Dam's music and pyro hit to kick off the first match of the night.
- Hardcore Holly defeated Rob Van Dam via DQ. The finish saw RVD hit a Rolling Thunder and then miss a Five Star Frog Splash attempted on Hardcore Holly. Holly left the ring, brought in a steel chair, the referee gets in Holly's face, RVD ducks a chair shot from Holly and kicks him in the face. RVD then grabs the chair and hits Holly with it to cause the DQ finish. RVD then hit Holly with another chair shot on the outside, sending Holly over the padded guard railing into the crowd. RVD then celebrated with the fans.
- Backstage, Rene Dupree is shown working out on an exercise bike. Dupreee said he is in the best physical shape of his career and that he will prove to everyone that he is the most extreme athlete in ECW.
- The Big Show's music and pyro hit to start the next segment. Big Show appeared, in ring gear, with the ECW World Title over his shoulder. Big Show came in the ring, got on the mic and put himself over as the most dominant champion in WWE history (wait, isn't this ECW?). He mentions how he will team with Vince & Shane McMahon against D-Generation X in a Hell in a Cell Match at Unforgiven. Big Show then invited Shawn Michaels and Triple H to ECW next week in a Handicap Match.
- "The Reject" Shannon Moore is shown again saying "Fight the power" into the camera.
- CM Punk defeated Stevie Richards. One spot saw Punk dive through the ropes and take out Richards on the outside. Punk also hit an impressive double underhook suplex into a backbreaker. The finish saw Punk take down Richards with a modified Rock Bottom into an Anaconda Vice. Richards refused to tap and tried to fight out, but eventually tapped out to give Punk another submission victory.
- A trailer and behind the scenes clips from The Marine starring John Cena was shown.
