After RAW went off the air, WWE set up a steel cage match for the WWE Title.
WWE champion C.M. Punk beat John Cena in a steel cage match to retain the WWE Title. The match ended when Dolph Ziggler and Del Rio interfered, then Sheamus and Randy Orton interfered to even the odds. Punk then slipped out of the cage during the mayhem to retain.
Afterward, I left, but Ziggler was left alone in the ring presumably for the sole purpose of taking a mele of finishers from the faces. Everyone goes home happy!
