Cole is in the ring and he says he has beaten King twice, and he can’t go any higher so he is retiring from in ring competition. He says when he goes into the Hall of Fame he wants to be inducted as a broadcaster and "in ring competitor." (there’s that "no saying wrestler" rule again…) King gets in the ring and Cole says he can’t touch him or he is fired, and King says he knows and shows footage of The Rock beating up Cole last week. After the clip, King says if Cole ever goes into the Hall of Fame life would cease to exist, but he thinks he might have a way to have it happen.
King challenges him to another match, and if Cole wins King will personally induct him into the Hall of Fame and give him his ring. Cole says no thanks, then goes back to his booth and says people from Tennessee are dilusional and he made up his mind yesterday, which happened to be Mother’s Day. He talks about his day then asks King what he did, and mockingly apologizes for forgetting his mother died in February. King loses it and goes after the Cole Mile and almost gets Cole (considering the door was open) but Jack Swagger makes the save and throws King into the ringpost. They scream at King to get out of there as we go to a commercial.
United States Championship
Jack Swagger vs Kofi Kingston (c)
Swagger goes for the Ankle Lock and Kofi rolls away, then fights out of a hold and knocks Swagger outside. Kofi goes to dive on him but Swagger rolls in and Kofi lands on the apron. Swagger kicks him in the head then punches him off the apron as we go to a commercial. When we return, Swagger is in control and puts Kofi on the top turnbuckle but eats a knee. He knocks Kofi back down and goes up top but Kofi gets his knees up and goes for Trouble In Paradise. Swagger ducks it and Kofi leapfrogs him and leaps off the top rope with a crossbody but only gets two.
Swagger applies the Ankle Lock while Kofi is on the ropes, but has to break the hold at five, and continues to work on the legs. Swagger throws Kofi and he tries to land on his feet but his leg buckles and Swagger goes back on the attack. All of the sudden, King appears at the top of the ramp and Swagger stops and stares at him. Kofi uses the distraction to hit Trouble In Paradise and retain.
Winner and STILL champion – Kofi Kingston
