MATCH #1: Dolph Ziggler vs Edge (c), World Heavyweight Championship Match
Edge wins via pinfall to retain. Vickie interfered in the match (along with Kelly Kelly). Finish saw Vickie and the referee down, Edge hits a spear. Edge pretends to be down as the referee gets back up, then slowly gets up and hits the Killswitch (Christian's finisher) before scoring the fall.

Current Cletus Challenge Points:
cletus42o - 21 points
Diamondjt5887 - 21 points
FalseProphet - 19 points

MATCH #2: Randy Orton vs The Miz (c), WWE Championship Match
The Miz wins via pinfall to retain. Lots of interference from Alex Riley and the New Nexus. Finish saw CM Punk hit the GTS on Orton while the referee was out, and then Punk dragged Miz on top of Orton.

Current Cletus Challenge Points:
cletus42o - 21 + 21 = 42 points
Diamondjt5887 - 21 + 21 = 42 points
FalseProphet - 19 + 2 = 21 points

MATCH #3: Michelle McCool vs Layla vs Eve vs Natalya (c), Diva's Championship Match
This match was changed to a Fatal 4-Way by the Raw GM. The match will be thrown out in the prediction game, so no points will be awarded for this match. Eve wins to become the new Diva's Champion. That makes 1 title change so far on the PPV.

MATCH #4: The Royal Rumble Match
Check the top of the blog for the entrant/elimination list. Alberto Del Rio won the Royal Rumble!

Current Cletus Challenge Points:
cletus42o - 42 + 0 = 42 points
Diamondjt5887 - 42 + 0 = 42 points
FalseProphet - 21 + 0 = 21 points

I'm going to go ahead and run the PPV results now to figure out our final scores, instead of trying to manually go through each question. Results and rankings coming shortly!

Okay, the results are in! Threw out the Diva's Match, but also threw out the question on who scored the most eliminations. I have CM Punk and John Cena tied with 7 eliminations, though Punk had one more assisted elimination than Cena. Instead of trying to get tricky and count some eliminations as half eliminations, I figured it was most fair to just throw it out.

And so the final scores for the Cletus Challenge!

FalseProphet - 31 points
cletus42o - 52 points
Diamondjt5887 - 53 points

Congrats Diamondjt5887 - you barely beat me, but a win's a win. :)
