Results from last night's WWE Supershow in Omaha, NE. Report courtesy Joe O. and the pro wrestling torch:
The Qwest Center was only about 65 percent full, but the crowd was hot all night. A lot of John Cena shirts were in the crowd.
(1) Christian defeated Cody Rhodes. Pretty solid opener. Christian won with the Killswitch. Cody had a lot of heat, and is stronger on the mic compared to former Legacy mate Ted DiBiase.
(2) Santino defeated Zach Ryder. It wasn't even that much of a comedy match, but a joke move, The Cobra, won the match for Santino. It looks ridiculous in person.
(3) U.S. champion The Miz defeated Mark Henry and Evan Bourne in a three-way match to retain the U.S. Title. Originally, it was Miz vs. Evan, but the Raw GM "emailed" Justin Roberts's cell phone and announced Mark Henry was added to the match. Evan hit the Air Bourne on Henry, but Miz made the cover for the win.
Jillian Hall asked a kid to name Sunday's PPV. He got it right, so he was special bellringer for the next match.
(4) John Morrison defeated Ted DiBiase (w/Maryse). Basic match between the two and Morrison won with Starship Pain. During the match, Maryse took a fan's clown wig and gave it to DiBiase, who rubbed it on his butt. Morrison then later wore it and paraded around with it.
(5) Unified tag champions Hart Dynasty (Tyson Kidd & D.H. Smith w/Natalya) defeated the Uso Brothers (Jey & Jimmy Uso w/Tamina). Basic match we've seen between the two teams in the past. I will say Natalya looks even better in person compared to TV. Smith won via the Sharpshooter.
Jillian came out again to help throw shirts into the crowd.

(6) Intercontinental champion Kofi Kingston defeated Matt Hardy, Dolph Ziggler, and Drew McIntyre in a fatal four-way match to retain the Intercontinental Title. Drew worked the mic early on, but he was rather sloppy, I thought. Maybe it was a bad microphone. Hardy and Mac brawled, then Dolph ran in until Kofi came out to jumpstart the match. After the match, Kofi and Matt shook hands while Drew threw chairs around. Ziggler was selling being out cold from Kofi's kick and referees helped him to the back. The crowd gave him a round of applause.
(7) Divas champion Alicia Fox defeated Eve. Another basic match.
(8) John Cena & Randy Orton & Big Show & World Hvt. champion Rey Mysterio vs. WWE champion Sheamus & Edge & Chris Jericho & Jack Swagger ended in a No Contest when Nexus ran in. Very fun eight-man tag. Swagger played to the Nebraska crowd by wearing an Oklahoma hat that a fan tossed him. The heels had a lot of heat and the faces received all of the biggest pops of the night. In a funny moment, Big Show asked for Justin Roberts to hold up the mic, then he shushed the crowd and told them "I'm hittin' Swagga" in an Elmer Fudd voice. Cena had Sheamus in the STF when Nexus ran in. Kane's music then hit and he joined other faces to make the save. They cleared out Nexus to send the crowd home happy.
Biggest pop of the night: John Cena
Most Heat of the night: The Miz
