WWE Over the Limit

Over the Limit opens in the most akward way possible a Battle Royal to decide who'll face either Intercontinental Champion, Cody Rhodes or United States Champion, Santion Marella. The Battle Royal, literally was make shift and had Christian as a surprise entry. The Battle Royal, went pretty fast as the entrants were quickly eliminated coming down to Tyson Kidd, David Otunga, the Miz and Christian as the final four. Seemingly Christian is veiwed to be a face now, rather than a heel as Otunga and Miz turn on him upon Tyson Kidd's elimination. Christian eventually over comes the odds and takes out Otunga first, followed by him Spearing the Miz out of the ring. Upon Christian's victory he selects the United States Champion, Santino as his opponent later on in the night.

After the match we get a horrible promotion for John Laurinaitis, as it transitions over to Cena's side of the story. That whole promo becomes the actual opening to the pay-per-view as we transition to the whole pyro opening, cutting to the first match. The first match on the card is the WWE Tag Team Championship match, Kofi Kingston and R-Truth to defend against Jack Swagger and Dolph Ziggler accompanied by Vickie Guerrero.

Starting the match is Kingston and Swagger, where they tie it up with Swagger over powering Kingston. To counteract Swagger's strength Kingston begins using his speed to his advantage before tagging in R-Truth. Shortly after R-Truth is tagged in, Swagger tags out to let Ziggler as R-Truth and Kingston begin switching it up. Swagger and Ziggler try bringing the tags to a stop, by working on Kingston until R-Truth is tagged in. R-Truth tries taking back the match but the numbers game screws that up as Vickie distracts the ref. Ziggler and Swagger work on R-Truth, as the crowd gets behind the Tag Champs. R-Truth makes several attempts at trying to tag in Kingston only to be cut off, he finally manages to tag in Kingston after hitting a huge Tornado DDT on Swagger. Both Kingston and Dolph are now the legal men as Kingston takes back the match. Ziggler reverses Kingston's finishers, and is saved from a pinfall by Swagger. Ziggler then goes for a quick pinfall on Kingston as the pinfall is cancelled out by R-Truth. Ziggler tries to recover from that only to be taken out by Trouble in Paradise, and pinned by Kingston. The Tag Team Champions retain the Titles, as Kingston and R-Truth celebrate.

Backstage, Eve talks to Curt Hawkins and Tyler Rexs about taking away signs from fans who have Anti-Laurinaitis signs. Following the promo, is the Divas' Championship match. Current champion, Layla defending against former champion Beth Phoenix. Layla is overpowered in the opening minutes by Beth, as Layla goes for speedy counters. Beth fights back by going right for Layla's bad knee, going for the ring post to torque the leg as the match spills outside. They get back into the ring fast, as Beth continues on the knee locking Layla in the Single Leg Boston Crab. Layla fights out trying for a roll-up that's unsuccessful as Beth continues to work on that bad knee. Layla manages to get Beth out of the ring allowing her sometime to try and get back into match. As Layla begins to take back the match she almost falls into the Glam Slam, but rolls out and manages to hit her Neckbreaker gaining the pinfall victory on Beth Phoenix.

Following the Divas' Championship, Matt Striker holds an interview with Randy Orton where Jericho shows up to chew out Orton on his victories in recent weeks. The promo ends with Orton daring Jericho to get in his way cause it'll only end with a RKO. As the interview comes to end, Alberto Del Rio makes his entrance into the arena for the Fatal Four Way for the World Heavyweight Championship.

Sheamus and Orton go at it for awhile until Jericho gets Sheamus outside, leaving Orton in the ring for Del Rio and Jericho to work on. After they work on Orton, they move to work Sheamus attacking his injured arm. They move back on Orton, where their truce is thrown out as Jericho and Del Rio turn on one another. Orton uses this to his advantage giving him time to go after Jericho, as Del Rio and Sheamus re-grouped. Sheamus knocks Orton and Jericho from the ring as he turns to Del Rio to work on. Del Rio manages to counter Sheamus as Ricardo Rodriguez comes to interfere. Eventually as Sheamus goes for his forearms on Del Rio, Jericho and Orton reappear.
