KANE vs The Miz

Tuesday, May 13, 2008 - Grand Rapids, MI

source: WWE.com - In a preview of sorts of Sunday’s Judgment Day, WWE Tag Team Champions The Miz & John Morrison individually faced Mr. Money in the Bank CM Punk and ECW Champion Kane, respectively. Punk's earlier loss to The Miz seemed to ratchet Morrison's confidence level up, but where The Miz faced Punk without his partner at ringside, Morrison had company.

Miz's constant interference in the match soon had Mr. Money in the Bank coming to ringside to even the score. In the ring, Morrison went to work on Kane's legs to chop down the tree then took him to the corner and wrapped his leg around the ringpost. The action went to the mat where blows rained until Morrison went back to Kane's leg.

Kane rallied, getting to his feet to landing a series of uppercuts on Morrison before hitting a sidewalk slam, then executing a flying clothesline off the top rope on one good leg. As Kane called for the chokeslam, Miz tried to get involved, which led to a brawl on the floor with Punk. Morrison used the distraction to smash Kane with a Tag-Team title belt and followed with a springboard roundhouse kick to take Kane down and claim the pin and win.

Punk tried to save Kane from a double-team beating, but Miz gave Punk the Reality Check while Morrison punted Kane in the head to close the show.
