AWESOME X Division match as CM Punk once again proves he is the top X division
guy in the company. All the odds were against him in this one, but a heated
confrontation between Shane and Carter kepts them off their game. Carter took
the mic and says he wants a singles match with Punk to decide the champ. Shane
then says HE WANTS a singles match. Punk says he beat both of them fair and
square and he is moving on to more competition. Reckless has yet to get his
1 on 1 rematch for the title.

Match observations: 

New tag champs crowned tonight with Lynn and CORINO. These two have been
impressing the office as of late, and have added a good mix to the tag title
scene. This is going to be the big breakout both Cornio and Lynn need.

The Office is cutting costs and it looks like a few major names are going to
feel it. Tazz was given his release tonight and told his services in the c
company will no longer be needed. Sandman has been told if he does not shape up,
after the KOTDM he will be gone. Dave Batista has also been given walking 
papers because SHANE Douglas wants to bring in a new triple threat.
