Thanks to Adam Clarke, Ian Hamilton, & WrestlingObserver.com for the following:
Notes: They're allowing signs into the arena tonight, after Raw was devoid of them thanks to some overzealous arena staff. WWE's interviewing kids around the building, probably for a video package at some point, and we'll be going live with dark matches and ECW in 25 minutes or so.
The arena's half full as we go through the usual videos...
Dark Match: Tommy Dreamer beat Carl Ouelette with a DDT.
ECW opens with John Morrison coming out, wanting fans to vote for him at the PPV. They show a replay of Punk v Morrison from last week. Out comes Miz, who gets the fans to vote for him... then out comes Big Daddy V and Matt Striker. It's the same "I want that title shot" angle we've seen a billion times.
Out comes CM Punk who says he doesn't care who his opponent is at the PPV... and his mystery partner tonight is Kane!
That match starts off the show; Punk still has the taped ribs and is really over. Everyone works over Punk's ribs as the crowd chants "who are ya?" to the Miz. Punk gets a hot tag to Kane, who gets into a staredown with Big Daddy V. Miz gets a blind tag and is promptly chokeslammed for as Kane gets the win.
"Match wasn't bad - quite long for ECW"
Cyber Sunday run-down now.
Long period of downtime follows, causing the crowd to ger restless. Miz and John Morrison argue backstage, and Miz cheapshots Morrison, leading to our main event... because they didn't fly out the full ECW roster, I presume!
Balls Mahoney is interviewed about how he likes Kelly Kelly. KK asks Balls out... and their date is TONIGHT~!
They have an announcement about the talent merger, and our next match is Jesse & Festus vs Elijah Burke & Nunzio. Jesse pinned Nunzio with a flying cross body off the top in a quick match. Burke walked out after the match, and our main event is next!
Miz v Morrison ends in a no-contest as Big Daddy V comes out and squashes both men, then poses, and that's the end of ECW!
SMACKDOWN SPOILERS

SmackDown opens with a recap of last week's stuff with the Undertaker. Tonight, JBL interviews Big Dave, and our first match is a WrestleMania Rematch:
KHALI vs Kane: Kane beats Khali by DQ, after Kane was choked with wire for the DQ. Kane shoves Khali down after the match, and out comes Big Daddy V to squash Kane post-match.
MVP vs Mysterio is later tonight.
Matt Striker interview with Big Daddy V, warns that V will be coming to SmackDown to cause havoc. That's followed by Chuck Palumbo (w/ Michelle McCool) vs. Chris Masters. Victoria comes out to attack Michelle McCool... that distracts Palumbo, allowing Masters to get the win via a roll-up.
Backstage segment with Matt Hardy and MVP. MVP says that he feels like Matt is his friend, and he doesn't want the match at Cyber Sunday.
Matt plugs the choices for the match, as we go to Matt Hardy vs Finlay. Matt wins after hitting the Twist of Fate - MVP came out and took the shillelagh off of Finlay.
Major Brothers are up next.
Drew McIntyre beat Brett Major (?) with the Flatliner.
JBL interviews Batista - it's a shill for the book and the Cyber Sunday choices. JBL says Dave has never beaten Undertaker, and calls him a coward. JBL gets speared - they're heavily plugging people to vote for Austin here.
Jimmy Wang Yang & Shannon Moore beat Deuce & Domino with a sunset flip.
Undertaker vs. Jamie Noble, as per Vickie Guerrero's orders after Noble complained about the Khali match. It was a squash match. Taker wins with the chokeslam. The entrances took longer than the match!
It's announced the next UK TV taping tour is going to be in April - tickets go on sale Saturday October 27.
A LOT of people left after the Taker match... it's just gone 10.30pm and Rey vs. MVP starts. It went through one commercial break, and was good until the finish - Finlay came out to attack MVP, causing Mysterio to lose via DQ. Rey then attacked Finlay as SmackDown went off the air. "Very flat finish". No post-show dark matches, which is just as well because the arena was half empty by the time the show ended!
