source: wwe.com - ECW Champion Kane & CM Punk earned a win against Guerrero & Bam Neely in tag team action, where the odds were even.

Just one week earlier, the self-proclaimed “Mexican Warrior” got to feel what it was like to pin the ECW Champion when he and Neely defeated Kane in a Handicap Match. This time, though, Chavo and his bruising bodyguard had their hands full with not only the Big Red Machine, but Mr. Money in the Bank as well. The champion and potential title holder picked up the victory when Punk covered Guerrero for the three-count.

Guerrero has long been looking for a way to get the better of Kane. Since Kane embarrassed him in a mere eight seconds and took the ECW Title at WrestleMania XXIV, the “Mexican Warrior” has been searching for a method to overcome the monster. Only while outnumbering the ECW Champion has he found any success.

Kane found himself the victim of multiple attacks leading up to Backlash. The ECW Champion proved those eight seconds at The Granddaddy of Them All was no fluke, however, when he pinned Chavo in a second match for the gold.

In addition to Kane’s success, WrestleMania XXIV was a big night for CM Punk. The Straightedge Superstar earned the title of Mr. Money in the Bank and can exercise his winnings at any time for any championship opportunity through WrestleMania XXV in Houston. Those options include the ECW Championship held by his tag team partner from Tuesday night.

In ECW’s tag team battle, the squared circle featured several Superstars with gold on their minds. Will Kane & Punk be able to coexist should they be asked to team up again? Or will the ECW Title stand between them? And is Bam Neely the solution for Chavo overpowering the Big Red Machine?
