The Miz and Morrison started off the encounter, at one point Morrison attempted to hit Miz with the Starship Pain only for Big Show to come in for the save. Later, R-Truth tried to springboard onto the Big Show but was caught and hit against the ring post. The match ended when Big Show blind tagged himself in and knocked out Morrison, pinning him to win the match and retain the title.
The second bout was a triple threat match between Randy Orton, Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes, all formerly of the stable known as Legacy. Rhodes and DiBiase spent most of the match double teaming Orton, however when DiBiase attempted to pin Orton, he was stopped by Rhodes. This turned into a brawl between the two which led to Orton taking the advantage. The match ended when Orton punted Rhodes and executed the RKO on DiBiase to win the fall.
The annual Money in the Bank ladder match took place next. It started off with every superstar trying to incapacitate each other long enough to climb and retrieve the briefcase. In between the Jackal was stuck in between a ladder with Christian and Matt Hardy hitting him with two ladders of their own. Another instance was when Evan Bourne performed a shooting star press, known as 'Air Bourne' on Christian from a vertically placed ladder wedged between another and the middle rope. The match came to an end when Jackal hit Christian with the Money in the Bank briefcase and unhooked it to become the new Mr. Money in the Bank.
After that match, the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2010 was introduced.
The fourth match included Triple H taking on Sheamus. The match started with Sheamus taunting Triple H and calling himself the future of the business. He then spent most of the time dominating Triple H with his backbreaker and submission moves. Triple H then took back control of the match by performing a Facebreaker knee smash and spinebuster on Sheamus. Sheamus then executed a Brogue Kick on Triple H for a near-fall, and then tried to execute a Powerbomb only for Triple H to reverse and execute a Pedigree to win the match.
In the fifth match, CM Punk faced Rey Mysterio. A malfunction in Mysterio's opening delayed the match. The bout went evenly matched throughout with neither superstars managing to get the advantage for long. CM Punk's disciples Luke Gallows and Serena attempted to interfere throughout the match. The end came when Serena distracted the referee and Gallows tried to distract Rey Mysterio. Punk lifted Mysterio from behind and attempted to execute the G.T.S but was reversed into the 619. Mysterio then executed a diving splash and pinned him for the win.
Mr. McMahon took on Bret Hart next, with Bruce Hart as the special guest referee. McMahon entered and informed Hart that he wanted to give him a "WrestleMania sized" screwing and called out Hart's family, asserted he had paid them to turn on Hart. Hart then informed McMahon that his family had informed him about this before and that they would screw Vince instead. The match included members of the Hart family including The Hart Dynasty beating on McMahon. Hart then placed McMahon in the Sharpshooter, with McMahon tapping out to end the match.

Batista dominated the first half of the match. Cena made a return after hitting a suplex. The match started to go evenly after that. An instance included Cena executing the Five Knuckle Shuffle off the top turnbuckle. Then Batista delivered a Batista Bomb for a two-count and Cena delivered an Attitude Adjustment for a two-count. The match came to an end after Cena reversed a Batista Bomb into an STF. Batista eventually submitted. Cena won the match and the WWE Championship, making him a nine-time World champion.
However, right after he won the match, he was attacked from behind by the Jackal who cashed in his Money in the Bank contract on Cena. He hit his new finisher, Jackal Slash (Jackhammer) to score the pinfall and become a 4-time WWE Champion, yet become a 14-time World Champion (Having been a 3-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion, a 4-time IWGP World Heavyweight Champion, a 2-time ROH World Champion, a 1-time ECW Champion, and now a 4-time WWE Champion.)

OOOOWHOOOOOO!
The Devil's Wolf hit to cheers from the fans as the lights dimmed to the sinister blood red and out comes the Bladewolf with Trish Stratus at his side, but no title around his waist since it was hanging above the ring. Bladewolf shoots his arms up and fire shoots out from every part of the stage that pyro can come out. Bladewolf threw his arms down and a line of fire shot up down the long ramp.
Trish circles her husband, running her hand across his chest, back, and shoulders before seductively leaning against him then arched her back in a seductive manner before she begins sauntering forward with a sway in her hips, the Bladewolf walking beside her. They reach the ring and Bladewolf gets onto the apron, holding the ropes open for Trish who seductively gets in, getting wolf whistles from the fans. Bladewolf's theme dies down as he takes his coat off and hands it to Trish without taking his eyes off Edge.
Trish lifted his mask up a bit so she could kiss her husband on the lips, then left the ring as the referee called for the bell.
'Ding! Ding! Ding!'
Bladewolf and Edge circle each other before they lock up in a test of strength, Bladewolf quickly shoving Edge back before booting the World Heavyweight Champion in the face. Bladewolf then grabs Edge from behind and goes for a German Suplex but Edge uses his quickness and agility to get out of it and slide between Bladewolf's legs, backing away as the World Heavyweight Champion turns to him.
Edge got to his feet and the two locked up again, this time Edge pushed back and was able to get Bladewolf leaning on the ropes until Bladewolf kneed him in the stomach then headbutts Edge, making him stumble back. Bladewolf goes for a clothesline but Edge ducks it and Bladewolf turns into a hard right from Edge, who hits several punches to the face of the Bladewolf then does Russian Leg Sweep and locks in a hold on Bladeowlf's right leg, causing Bladewolf to yell in pain before he broke free of it by shoving Edge back with his feet.
Edge stumbled into the corner before he takes Bladewolf down with a clothesline, hammering away at the Bladewolf's skull before Bladewolf rolled them over and starts hammering away at Edge with lefts and rights then gives him a big headbutt before he picks Edge up and goes for a hard right but Edge ducks it and locks in a headlock on Bladewolf. Bladewolf managed to fend it off briefly before Edge hit him with a throat thrust and tossed the World Heavyweight Champion to the outside like a sack of potatoes.
Edge slides out and picks up a steel chair...BUT BLADEWOLF KICKS IT INTO EDGE'S FACE! Edge stumbled back and fell down, holding his face as Bladewolf flips his hair back before he picks up the chair...AND WHACKS IT OFF EDGE'S BACK! Bladewolf unloads on Edge with the chair, not stopping at all until Edge;s back was red and he tossed the chair aside.
Bladewolf grabs Edge and sends him back into the ring, sliding in after him. Bladewolf grabs Edge by the hair and sends him into the corner before running for a turnbuckle clothesline but is met with a double boot to his masked face. Bladewolf stumbled back and Edge clotheslines him down, brings his knee down into the ribcage of the Bladewolf. Edge starts hammering away at the masked face of the Bladewolf a few times, then stood up only to bring his elbow down on Bladewolf's chest, right where the heart was.
Edge got to his feet and looked around before he took a chair out from the corner and smacks it off the top turnbuckle. waiting as Bladewolf gets to his feet. The Champion turns around...AND GETS WHACKS OVER THE HEAD WITH THE CHAIR! Edge starts whacking the chair off Bladewolf tiem and time again, giving him the same punishment Bladewolf gave him earlier.
Edge tosses the chair aside, grabs Bladewolf and Irish whips him into the corner. Edge then slides out the ring and picks up a table and tossed it into the ring. He lsides back in and picks up the table before running at Bladewolf...AND DRIVES THE TABLE INTO HIM! Edge dropped the table, grabs Bladewolf...AND HITS THE IMPALER DDT ON THE DOWNED TABLE!
Edge got to his feet before looking up at the title and slides out the ring, grabbing a ladder and sending it into the ring. Edge sets the ladder up and started climbing it when Bladewolf pulled him down and rammed his head into the ladder, toppling it to the side. Bladewolf knees Edge in the stomach a few times before he sends Edge shoulder first into the steel ring post.
Bladewolf looks at the table, picks it up and sets it up before he grabs Edge from behind...AND HITS A RELEASE GERMAN SUPLEX RIGHT THROUGH THE TABLE! Bladewolf got to his feet, and paced around Edge. Bladewolf picks up the ladder and throws it down on top of Edge, adjusting his elbow pad briefly. He looks around before sliding out the ring and grabs two tables, tossing them into the ring, followed by a few chairs, then another ladder.
Bladewolf then walks around the ring and picks up the steel steps and throws them into the ring. He slides into the ring, and gets to his feet, He starts setting the tables up...WHEN EDGE HITS HIM FROM BEHIND WITH A STEEL CHAIR! Edge grabs Bladewolf, lifts him up...AND HITS A SUPLEX THROUGH THE TABLE! Edge grabs the second table and sets that up before he grabs Bladewolf and goes to do it again but Bladewolf starts punching Edge in the ribcage, then headbutts him, making him stumble back before he runs...INTO A SUPERKICK!
Bladewolf grabbed Edge by the throat, lifts him up...AND CHOKESLAMS HIM THROUGH THE TABLE! Bladewolf flips his hair back and picks up the second ladder, and sest it up but doesn't climb it. He shakes his head and kicks out the wreckage of the others tables, even the steel steps. He slides out the ring and tosses four tables into the ring with no stopping to gain some breath back.
Bladewolf slides into the ring and sets up the four tables, two next to each other and two on top of the firs two. Bladewolf grabs Edge and makes him climb the second ladder, makes him think he was near the title but when Edge reached up he found he wasn't anywhere near the title. Bladewolf came up on the other side...AND GRABS EDGE BY THE THROAT! Bladewolf jumps off with Edge...AND BOTH CRASH INTO THE FOUR TABLES!
'Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!' The fans chanted.
Bladewolf and Edge were laid out, breathing heavily. Edge started moving first and crawled to the ladder, pushing it under the title. Weakly, and painfully, he starts climbing the ladder while Bladewolf was still down. Edge had just reached the top...WHEN BLADEWOLF SAT UP! Bladeowlf saw what was happening and quickly got to his feet, grabbing Edge from underneath so he had him sitting backwards on his shoulders. He looked outside where Trish had been setting four tables up. Bladewolf runs...AND POWERBOMBS EDGE OVER THE ROPES AND THROUGH THE TABLES!
Bladewolf leaned against the ropes for a moment before he turned and starts climbing the ladder, getting to the top where he reaches up...AND UNHOOKS THE TITLE! BLADEWOLF RETAINS THE TITLE!
'Ding! Ding! Ding!'
The Devil's Wolf plays to a loud pop as Bladewolf gets down from the ladder and Trish helps him out the ring and up the ramp. He raised the title as fireworks went off. Edge was still down and out from being powerbombed through four tables...
And that's it for WrestleMania. Jackal won Money in the Bank instead of Jack Swagger because...Jack Swagger's World Title reign sucked and is forgotten by everyone. Nobody cared about it, they should've just had Edge win the title from jericho at WrestleMania, or better yet have kept the title until Fatal 4-Way to lose the title to Mysterio.
