6/18/2012- WWE No Way Out results, Yankees sweep Nationals, Reds sweep Mets, more

Hello everyone! I hope all of you had a great weekend! This weekend was eventful as the Yankees continued their hot streak in the Nation's capital, a certain someone was fired at No Way Out, and the Super Bowl MVP threw out the ceremonial first pitch at the Mets game yesterday. More will be shared as you read along. Here we go!

WWE
Yesterday was the No Way Out PPV, where it emanated from the Izod Center in East Rutherford, NJ. Overall there were 10 matches on the card, including the pre-show streamed on the Internet. Here are the results:

WWE.com/Facebook/YouTube
  • Brodus Clay def David Otunga
PPV
  • Sheamus def Dolph Ziggler* to retain the World Heavyweight Championship
  • Santino Marella def Ricardo Rodriguez in a tuxedo match
  • Christian def Cody Rhodes to retain the Intercontinental Championship
  • Prime Time Players (Titus O'Neil & Darren Young) def Primo & Epico, The Usos, Tyson Kidd & Justin Gabriel in a fatal-4-way tag team match to determine the number 1 contendership for the WWE Tag Team Championship
  • Layla def Beth Phoenix to retain the Divas Championship
  • Sin Cara def Hunico
  • CM Punk def Kane and Daniel Bryan in a triple threat match to retain the WWE Championship
  • Ryback def two local competitors
  • John Cena def The Big Show in a Steel Cage Match. Had John Cena lost, he would've been fired, and had the Big Show lost, John Laurinaitis would've be fired. Since Cena won, Mr. McMahon fired Laurinaitis after the PPV.
*- originally Alberto Del Rio was scheduled to face Sheamus, but due to his concussion, he was replaced by Dolph Ziggler.

Tonight, Raw will emanate from Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, NY. 80s icon Cyndi Lauper is advertised to guest star, and John Laurinaitis is scheduled to make a farewell address.

MLB
This weekend, the Yankees continued interleague play against the Washington Nationals in Nationals Park. The Yankees swept the Nationals, including a Saturday game where they won in Extra Innings and without a home run. Meanwhile for the Mets, they took a break from interleague play, where they fell to the Cincinnati Reds in 3 games. One notable game was yesterday when Super Bowl MVP and NY Giants quarterback Eli Manning threw out the ceremonial first pitch at Citi Field.

This week, the Mets will resume interleague play, and in a rare move, both the Yankees and the Mets will have home games this week from Monday through Wednesday. The Yankees will host the Atlanta Braves in a rematch from last week, while the Mets will host the Baltimore Orioles. Also, the second half of the Crosstown Cup will take place between the White Sox and the Cubs.

That's all I have to say for now. Have a good week!
