I hadn't heard this, but it could explain a lot.

My friend was reading me something that said no one backstage other than Punk, Cena, Vince & Johnny knew the finish and that Del Rio wasn't notified until after the match started. I don't have a link, but that's what he said.
Wasn't that the story at ONS in '06 with RVD vs. Cena? The rumor was that the original finish was Cena over RVD with some interference (or some sort of finish where Cena retained) and supposedly, after the show started & the fans were so crazy that they basically had no choice but to let RVD go over.
Either way, I'm still freakin' stoked with what they did and can't wait to see where they go from here. Even though I'm a huge Punk mark & that's a big part of my excitement, the ladder matches were good and I enjoyed the finish to Orton-Christian. Certainly enjoyed it more than the past two WrestleManias and it's one of the best PPVs in a long while.
