Mickie James used a hurricanrana to pull Michelle McCool out after a 20-minute run. The announcers didn’t really explain why there were “old wounds” between the pair, but they probably didn't want to mention the infamous “Piggy James” angle from 2010.

Who thought that’d be wrapped up all these years on?! This was a respectable, if unspectacular, showing for McCool.
