With The World’s Largest Athlete locked in a painful ankle hold, the former champion closed in on victory. However, when Big Show reached the ropes and Swagger failed to heed the ref’s orders to break the hold within a five-count, Swagger was disqualified. The brutal hold left Big Show stumbling and reeling in pain after the bout. Full results.

WWE Superstars Results: Swelling England by the Pound
Accompanied by the anti-Diva Serena, the powerful Luke Gallows marched to the ring with a strong desire to cause harm to the flawless physique of Chris Masters. That was more easily said than done, however, as The Masterpiece used his brute power to control much of the early action in this hard-hitting battle. It looked as though the SmackDown Superstar was close to finding victory, but he was distracted by the dangerous Serena. With Masters sidetracked, CM Punk’s most loyal disciple was able to deliver the Gallows Pole to his opponent to score a tainted victory...More?

Hart Family Member Defends WWE
Ross Hart told the Calgary Herald that he believes WWE's "Hart & Soul" DVD was done in good taste. "If (WWE) exploited (Owen's) name negatively, I can understand but this really was a documentary about the whole family," Hart told the Calgary Herald in response to the lawsuit Martha Hart filed against the company.
"It was done in pretty good taste, even by WWE standards. Wrestling is what made Owen famous and successful and such a legend and you can't erase that. As tragic and wrongful as his death was, you can't erase his legacy and what he accomplished in wrestling."
Meanwhile, WWE attorney Jerry McDevitt stated that an Ontario court shot down Martha's attempt for an injunction over the release of the DVD. "Owen Hart was a public figure," McDevitt said. "His death was widely reported. (Martha) wrote a book about it. Everybody that Owen's life touched has their right to tell their version of the Owen Hart story and he's a part of the WWE's history."
