Last night's WWE Pay-Per-View, No Way Out on 6/17/2012 was less than stellar in my opinion.

Sheamus defeated Dolph Ziggler to retain the World title. This match was one of the few that was exciting to watch.

Santino Marella defeated Ricardo Rodriguez in a Tuxedo match. In order to win this match, a wrestler has to rip the tuxedo off of his opponent. Tuxedo matches are a waste of time in professional wrestling and especially on a pay-per-view where people are shelling out fifty bucks to watch it.
Santino Marella is the United States Champion and should have been defending his belt.

In another match that was pretty good to watch, Christian defeated Cody Rhodes to successfully defend his Intercontinental title.

In a boring fatal four way match to deem number one contenders to the WWE Tag Team titles,the WWE's newest tag team, the Primetime Players consisting of Darren Young and Titus O'Neil defeated the teams of Primo and Epico, Justin Gabriel and Tyson Kidd and The Usos. Anthony Washington, the manager of Primo and Epico revealed himself to be the new manager for the Primetime Players, leaving Primo and Epico in the dust.

With chants of "KARMA! KARMA! from the crowd during the Divas title match, Layla defeated Beth Phoenix to retain her championship.

Hunico really battered Sin Cara in this Luchadore match, but it was Sin Cara who came out on top in the end of the match.

C.M. Punk defeated both Kane and Daniel Bryan in a triple threat match to retain his WWE Championship.

Ryback defeated a couple of jabronis...again. When is this guy, a former member of NXT, going to face some real talent in the WWE. It seems as if the WWE is trying to create a new "Goldberg" character but is failing miserably so far.

And the main event was John Cena vs. The Big Show in a Steel Cage Match. If Cena lost, he would have been fired from the WWE and if the Big Show lost, then Raw and Smackdown GM John Laurinaitis would be fired.

Cena did escape from the cage first and as Vince McMahon uttered the words, "You're Fired!" to Laurinaitis, John Cena gave the now former GM an "Attitude Adjustment" through the Spanish announce table.
