Cyber Sunday October 26, 2008 WWE Results: Batista VS Chris Jericho
PHOENIX — When the WWE Universe shifted the power into the capable hands of elected special guest referee “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, our fans made the single most significant Cyber Sunday decision that enabled Batista to defeat Chris Jericho and become the new World Heavyweight Champion.
Since being summoned to Raw in the 2008 WWE Draft, The Animal has hunted the World Heavyweight Title in a new Monday night jungle among countless equally hungry predators. His astounding fourth World Heavyweight Championship reign comes after months of perseverance that paid off in a big way at WWE’s most interactive event of the year.
The slithering champion knew it was going to be a bad night as soon as the glass shattered, hearkening the arrival of the Texas Rattlesnake – the man Jericho recently boasted about beating to become the first-ever Undisputed Champion years ago. Things got worse when Stone Cold manipulated the rules so that if Jericho got himself disqualified or counted out, he would lose the title. But, though 74 percent of our fans’ votes set Austin as the Superstar in the stripes, his fellow candidates (as well as John “Bradshaw” Layfield) took control themselves and played critical roles in the crowning of the new champion.
Austin became incapacitated and Jericho suddenly found himself covering a fallen Batista. This drew out Shawn Michaels as a quick stand-in official … until HBK refused to count.
Despite losing No. 1 contendership to Batista at No Mercy, JBL was determined to play his hand, too. The Longhorn Loudmouth blasted Michaels, then targeted the challenger and connected the gold title with his rival’s skull. In the midst of this mayhem, recuperating former WWE Champion Randy Orton also slipped into the ring to thwart The Animal, assaulting Austin who just got back to his feet.
Instead of causing further damage, however, the Legend Killer found himself victimized by the Texas Rattlesnake’s bite: A Stone Cold Stunner, the move recently named the No. 1 finishing move of all time in WWE.com’s Top 25.
The challenger then quickly captured Jericho and delivered a powerful Batista Bomb that planted the conniving champion. Austin’s levy of physical justice on Orton didn’t keep him from his duties, as Stone Cold hit the mat in time to render a full three-count and raise the triumphant paw of The Animal.
With that hand – which, ironically, was also raised by Austin in the main event of last year’s Cyber Sunday – Batista gripped redemption against Jericho, but more importantly, the Raw brand’s coveted gold.
He has chased the World Heavyweight Championship for 10 months, across two brands and now – at last – it is once again The Animal’s kingdom.

Cyber Sunday October 26, 2008 WWE Results: Jeff Hardy VS Tripple H
PHOENIX – The WWE Universe voted to see WWE Champion Triple H and Jeff Hardy go one-on-one again for the gold at Cyber Sunday, just weeks after their epic match at No Mercy. With 57 percent of the vote, YOU chose Hardy over Vladimir Kozlov as a challenger, or a Triple Threat Match with both Kozlov and Hardy taking on The Game.
Despite the vote, Hardy came up short in his attempt to become WWE Champion, falling to Triple H once again. With the crowd firmly split between the two Superstars, each tried to gain momentum as the match progressed, with neither able to push his opponent out of his way to claim the title.
When it appeared as Jeff Hardy had the match won after a Swanton Bomb, the risk-taking Superstar ascended the ropes again to assure himself a victory, and Triple H stopped the second Swanton with his knees. After the fight moved to the outside, Hardy went to the top rope for a third time, and The Game made him pay, pulling Hardy down from the turnbuckle and delivering a Pedigree in one motion – putting an end to Hardy’s championship aspirations.
In the end, The Game once again earned a hard-fought victory against the high-flying Hardy, showing that he is at his best with his WWE Championship on the line. The matches between these two warriors have also showed the respect that each man has for the other, something that the Moscow Mauler has for no man as he continues to look for competition in WWE – and Kozlov’s disgust over not being voted in could lead to more attacks from the undefeated Superstar.

Cyber Sunday October 26, 2008 Results: Undertaker VS Big Show
PHOENIX – Summoning power deep from within, Undertaker used his deadly submission hold to help eliminate Big Show in their brutally physical Last Man Standing Match.
The Phenom’s win was a measure of revenge for No Mercy, where The World’s Largest Athlete was able to do what perhaps no other Superstar has been – knock out The Deadman.
The epic Cyber Sunday encounter was set by YOU, the WWE Universe, who chose the Last Man Standing Match over the other two options: I Quit Match and Knockout Match.
The titanic struggle included a powerful offense from both Superstars in an epic no disqualifications encounter.
Toward the end of the battle, The Phenom was on the receiving end of a hard right punch from Big Show, but was able to rise to his feet after an eight-count. Next, The Deadman took the full force of a steel chair to his head.
Despite feeling the effects of both assaults, Undertaker was able to lock Big Show in the same deadly submission hold he has used to vanquish many opponents on SmackDown. With both Superstars physically drained, it was Undertaker who was able to rise to his feet just before the 10-count and claim not only the win, but sweet revenge.
The loss was also a blow for SmackDown General Manager Vickie Guerrero who has aligned herself with Big Show to help do her bidding. But, now that Undertaker has proven he can stop The World’s Largest Athlete, who can stop the demon from Death Valley on Friday nights?
The match finally went great and everybody cheer up and enjoyed a lot. Undertaker once locked Big Show, but big show broke the lock and saved. Otherwise, a lot of blood will come out of Big Shows mouth. The 2 more pics below will tell you the condition of both WWE players.
You can see Big Show is almost dead and undertaker can’t even move his body. Like this match ended with great victory of Undertaker.

Cyber Sunday October 26, 2008 Results: WWE Combat Of The Week
PHOENIX – With 38 percent of the vote, the WWE Universe sent a clear message that they wanted to see Cryme Tyme and The Miz & John Morrison put their rivalry on display at Cyber Sunday. The Shaman of Sexy & the self-proclaimed “chick magnet” claimed victory over the hosts of “Word Up,” proving that there was some truth to the boasts and brags seen on Miz & Morrison’s WWE.com show, “The Dirt Sheet.”
Though our fans also had a chance to see Jamie Noble & Mickie James compete against William Regal & Layla, or force World Tag Team Champions Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase to defend their titles against CM Punk & Kofi Kingston, you, the WWE Universe, decided that the stars of two of WWE.com’s most popular programs should face each other. For weeks, Cryme Tyme and The Miz & Morrison have been swiping at one another across brands, facing off in tag as well as singles competitions on both Raw and ECW. The outspoken Superstars even got into an altercation at the announcer’s table during a Divas match.
At Cyber Sunday, their rivalry manifested itself in a much more physical manner, but it originated here on WWE.com, where Raw’s Robbin’ Hoods and Miz & Morrison host weekly episodes of their WWE.com Originals series. Nothing was sacred as the two skilled tag teams took aim at one another, insulting everything from their opponent’s wrestling ability to their outfits and family history. Both teams went so far as to imitate their rivals in satirical takes on their web shows.
In the end, however, the former WWE Tag Team Champions were victorious, as John Morrison hit Shad with the Moonlight Drive to secure the win in a match demanded by the WWE Universe.

Cyber Sunday October 26, 2008 Results: Santino Morella VS Honky Tonk Man
PHOENIX - The WWE Universe could practically hear Santino Marella’s “Honk-A-Meter” coughing and wheezing as it appeared the Intercontinental Champion’s reign was about to meet an inglorious death. The device, used to track Santino’s reign, looked as if it would meet its demise at the hands of the longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion in WWE history, the Honky Tonk Man.
Santino’s girlfriend Beth Phoenix, however, had other ideas. By tripping up Honky Tonk Man, Phoenix caused Santino to lose by disqualification. Although the Italian was livid, he was able to retain his title since championships cannot change hands on such a decision. In other words, Santino’s “Honk-A-Meter” lives to tick another day.
Marella, though, did not escape unscathed. You, the WWE Universe, chose Honky Tonk Man, who reigned as Intercontinental Champion for 64 weeks, to face Santino with 35 percent of the vote over Goldust and “Rowdy” Roddy Piper, who lost by less than 500 votes. Despite coming up short in the voting, Goldust and Piper would not be denied a slice of the spicy Italian. After the official conclusion of the match, the two former Intercontinental Champions joined Honky Tonk Man in the ring to show Marella just what they think of him.
First up, Goldust roughed up Marella, then Piper got in his punches and finally, Honky Tonk Man leveled the Italian with a Shake, Rattle and Roll.
In the end, before the Honky Tonk Man could pull the plug on the “Honk-A-Meter,” the Intercontinental Champion managed to escape with his title – if not his dignity – intact, ensuring that the tallying device, and Santino himself, will continue to sputter along.
