Solid enough opener.

Standard stuff.

****
Not as good as their Mania XIXmatch but still really strong.

Mickie pinned Melina after a Mickie DT.
**
About as good a women's match as you'll ever get for less thatn 5 minutes.

The Undertaker defeated Edge by countout for the vacant World Heavyweight Championship (16:30)[4]
SmackDown General Manager Vickie Guerrero declared the title would remain vacant since a championship cannot be decided by countout.
***3/4
Still like their Backlash match a little more. On par with Wrestlemania.

Jeff Hardy defeated Montel Vontavious Porter (MVP) (9:50)
Jeff pinned MVP after a Whisper in the Wind.[16]
*3/4
Just thrown on here and it showed.

Triple H defeated Randy Orton in a Steel Cage match to retain the WWE Championship (21:20)[3]
Triple H pinned Orton after a steel chair shot and a Pedigree.
***
Generic cage match best describes this.

~ Another solid show from WWE.
