-Solid promo for Bourne. McIntyre attacking him was good. Looks like Bourne has Jericho or McIntyre to feud with over the case.
-Shocker to see Kaval and Gabriel win to be honest. Ziggler and Omega make a decent team. Wouldn't mind to see them tag around for a bit since most new people allign in a tag talent to kick off their career.
-Guerrero over Benjamin is a shocker too. But since you didn't job Guerrero like WWE does it isn't a bad decision.
-Wow. McIntyre is doing great. Attacking the Mr. MITB and beating ECW Champion. Don't know what's next for McIntyre but it's certain to be big things.
-Good ECW.

ECW on SyFy: Tuesday 20th July 2010...Decent promo to start the show with Evan Bourne in the ring mentioning his Money in the Bank victory at Money in the Bank. Best decision for him to slowly move towards SmackDown as that is the best way to go if you ask me. Evan isn't as relevent as he used to be on ECW anyway; he got mixed in with Justin Gabriel and Kaval and was lost then. Best for Gabriel and Kaval to win against Kenny Omega and Dolph Ziggler, but God I hope Ziggler gets a big push sooner or later. He definitely deserves one. Shelton Benjamin losing to Chavo Guerrero is odd. I spy retribution is in order. These segments regarding Drew McIntyre and Vince McMahon with ECW General Manager, Paul Heyman are getting good. Very enjoyable ongoing series. Drew McIntyre beating Rob Van Dam a second time. A good ECW Challeng main event, not a bad show.

l JULY 23rd, 2010 l VERIZON ARENA: NORTH LITTLE ROCK, AR l
"Peep Show on the Edge"
The opening pyros go off as Jim Ross and Matt Striker welcome everybody to Smackdown. They tell us about The Peep Show with Edge as the special guest happening later on tonight, plus Mr. Money In The Bank Evan Bourne will be in action against friend, Kofi Kingston. Following their hype up, CM Punk, Matt Cross, and Joey Mercury make their way down to the ring and Punk has a mic in his hand. Once in the ring, he tells everybody this past Sunday he was part of a 20 minute match with Kofi Kingston that he deserved to win. He says that he didn't because of Kofi's obvious use of prescription drugs because no man can jump that high in the air naturally. He gets some heat, and he says he is moving onto more serious matters because that isn't his main concern at the moment, his concern is Randy Orton. He says that last week he made an offer to Orton to join the Straight Edge Society, and he decided it would be better to have himself pick up the chair and strike at not only himself, but Cross and Mercury as well. He says that he disgusts him, and ever since he brought him to Smackdown he regrets ever winning that match in the draft. He says that he does want to end this whole thing, however, it has to end in a way that Randy Orton will be begging to join the Straight Edge Society because he is in a state of so much embarrassment and suffering. He says he wants to challenge Randy to a 3 Stages of Hell match at Summerslam. The crowd cheer but Punk raises his hand up and says he wants to choose the stipulations however. He asks for a slip of paper from Mercury and he takes it out from his pocket and hands it over. Punk reads it off to the crowd: "First fall: a standard singles match!" He nods with a smile as the crowd boos that type of stipulation, "Second fall: a no count out match!" The crowd continue to boo as he says he has one more fall to speak of, and they are going to want to hear it. "The third and final fall, if necessary, a blindfold match!" The crowd boo as he tells them to be quiet, those are great choices of stipulations. Orton steps out behind him slowly and taps his shoulder. Punk turns around in surprise and Orton brings his own mic up and he says he thinks the idea of a 3 Stages of Hell match sounds like one hell of an idea; and Punk actually has something he is interested in saying for once. He says those stipulations, however, are nothing short of pathetic. He says he has a handicap match against Cross and Mercury later on, and he says he wants to raise the stakes. He says if they manage to win, Punk gets his stipulations for that match; but after he does win - he gets to choose. Punk thinks for a moment and says it sounds great and Orton makes his way backstage.
Commercial Break
Non-Title Match
Paul Burchill vs United States Champion Bryan Danielson
The bell rings, Danielson taking Burchill to the mat quickly and applying an ankle lock and proceeding with a few other submission holds. Once back up, Burchill clotheslines him down and works on him for a couple minutes, pounding down on him and hitting a few knees in the corner. However, as he goes for the Dangerous Buster, Danielson reverses into a cradle to the mat before turning it into the Cattle Mutilation and soon after it is applied, Burchill taps.
Winner of the match: Bryan Danielson [7:42] **1/2
Following the match, Danielson begins to celebrate. However, Burchill clotheslines him from behind and begins to stomp him down in the corner. However, Carlito and Primo come running down to the ring to everyone's surprise and they begin to strike at Burchill. He eventually gets out of the ring and The Colons help Danielson back up, the crowd giving a decent pop to them for their aid to the United States Champion.
Commercial Break
Returning, we head backstage to Josh Mathews and he introduces his guests to be The Colons. He asks what has made them suddenly appear on the scene as a team again, and Carlito to uncharacteristically aid somebody. Carlito says he knows the way he has acted ever since last summer, but he knew what he did was wrong, therefore, he made the decision to give Primo a call and ask him if he wanted to reform the team and climb back to the top of the division. Primo says that he was delighted that his brother would want to bury the hatchet and reform their strong team. However, as they begin to walk away, The Uso's attack them from behind and begin a beat down. After hitting simultaneous Samoan Drop's, they storm off.
Singles Match
Montel Vontavious Porter vs Big Show
The bell rings and Show quickly tosses MVP in the corner and hits some hard strikes. MVP tries to fight back but just gets tossed around like a rag doll over the coarse of the opening minutes. As Show goes for an early chokeslam, however, MVP elbows him in the head before hitting a DDT. He works on Show on the mat, and after he rises, MVP's momentum is over as Show big boots him and after a minute or so, he hits the Knockout Punch and pins him.
Winner of the match: Big Show [8:02] **3/4
Show doesn't even celebrate his victory, but instead drags MVP to his feet and hits a chokeslam in the middle of the ring. MVP begins to roll around the ring in pain as Show begins to exit, and he notices MVP getting to his hands and knees and he goes storming over, yanking him up and tossing "The Franchise Playa" in the corner and hitting a huge slap to the chest. He backs off as MVP falls to the mat, but he starts to get up again. Show throws his arms up in the air in anger and waits for him to get up. He does, and Show has his fist clenched ready, but chooses not to do anything and extends his other hand. MVP looks to it, breathing heavy, and goes to shake it but is hit with the Knockout Punch and Show exits the ring.
Commercial Break
Singles Match
Kofi Kingston vs Evan Bourne
The bell rings and both men lock up. Neither gets the advantage and each begin a series of different variations of roll ups before Kingston hits a sudden kick to the jaw. He proceeds to go on and hit some more high flying moves, sending Bourne down and almost defeating him at points, but Bourne fights back with arm wrenches and toss overs, along with some high flying moves of his own that almost take Kofi's head off. Kingston hits the Boom Drop and goes for a corner kick, but gets one to the jaw and is sent down. Bourne climbs to the top turnbuckle and hits the Air Bourne and gets the pin.
Winner of the match: Evan Bourne [10:13] ***1/2
Bourne celebrates his win, and soon after helps Kingston back up and they shake hands. However, as they raise each others arms up, the referee walks up to Bourne and tells him something. Bourne and Kingston get out of the ring following the referee, and he shows them that the Money in the Bank Briefcase is gone. Bourne asks where it went, and he doesn't know. Bourne puts his hands on his head as Kofi tells him not to worry about it, he'll get it back.
Commercial Break
We return and Kurt Angle makes his way down to the ring to a loud pop. He gets on the mic and says he's here, it's true! It's damn true! He says he returned this past Sunday and he did it for one reason and one reason only: to make sure he has one last run here in the WWE before he ends his career, and he is going to be coming to Smackdown! The crowd cheers for the decision and he says he plans on taking Smackdown by storm, and regaining the WWE Championship - but he has one problem. He says this Sunday he returned and confronted apparently the 'greatest amateur wrestler' to ever be a part of the WWE, Jack Swagger. He says not to get him wrong, Jack Swagger is a great competitor, no doubt - but he says he is the greatest amateur wrestler in the history of the WWE? He laughs and asks if the crowd agrees with that, and they boo in an answer of no. He says he obviously isn't the only smart person around here, and Jack Swagger cuts him off by making his way down to the ring, looking very serious. He gets on the mic and tells Kurt to shut his mouth. Angle laughs as the crowd boos Swagger, who says that he is the greatest amateur wrestler to ever grace a WWE ring and he knows it's true - he steps up closer to Kurt with a grin and mocks him by saying "oh, it's damn true!" Kurt laughs some more and asks if he thinks he is funny, and Swagger doesn't respond, and Angle shoves him lightly, asking if he heard him. Swagger gets cut off by another shove, then another, and he soon has enough and clotheslines Angle to the mat. He slams his mic down and begins to stomp Angle before dragging him up. He pulls him onto his shoulder for the Gut Wrench Powerbomb, but Angle manages to pull himself free and grabs hold of the leg, tripping Swagger to the mat and putting in the ankle lock. Swagger scrambles right off and rolls through, sending Angle into the ropes, and he rolls out of the ring. Angle looks on as Swagger backs up the ramp in anger.
Commercial Break
Singles Match
Kane vs Sheamus
The bell rings, Sheamus pounding away to start and rocking Kane. The Big Red Machine fights back, however, hitting some shots of his own and sends Sheamus to the mat multiple times. However, as he goes for the chokeslam, Sheamus pulls himself down and hits a few hard shots and then the Bicycle Kick. Kane stays on his feet and they continue to go at it for another couple minutes before Sheamus shockingly hits the Celtic Cross and gets the pin.
Winner of the match: Sheamus [8:10] **1/2
Following Sheamus' victory celebration, and looks down at Kane as multiple replays displaying his strength to pull Kane up over his head and toss him down to the mat are shown. Striker and Ross put him over multiple times and Sheamus exits the ring, a grin across his face.
Commercial Break
Singles Match
Melina vs April Lee w/Maryse
The bell rings, Melina taking Lee down quickly and working on her hard, slapping her across the face and pounding across the back. She pulls at her hair a few times, Maryse looking on from the outside with no certain expression. Lee kicks Melina off and gets some offense as she gets up, hitting some hard shots. Melina cheaply throws her into the mat by the hair soon and Beth Phoenix steps out to the ramp and distracts her, and Lee rolls Melina up for the 3.
Winner of the match: April Lee [5:25] **
Lee gets out of the ring quickly as Maryse raises her hand and applauds a bit. Beth raises the Women's Championship as Melina looks up at her, eyes full of rage, as she begins to scream at her up the ramp. Beth just smiles at her and makes her way backstage again.
The Summerslam hype video featuring Shelton Benjamin and Yoshi Tatsu in Rush Hour is shown.
Commercial Break
2-on-1 Handicap Match
Randy Orton vs Joey Mercury and Matt Cross w/CM Punk
The bell rings, Mercury and Cross pounding down on Orton in the corner before getting swatted away with strikes. It becomes too much to Orton however, and they double team with suplexes and powerbombs. They go for a double clothesline, but Orton ducks and manages to RKO Cross on the turn. After working on Mercury for a couple minutes in the corner, he clotheslines him out of the ring. He pounds down on Cross and ends up hitting the rope hung DDT. He RKOs Mercury across the ropes and then quickly, he ends up punting Cross in the head and getting the pinfall.
Winner of the match: Randy Orton [9:36] **3/4
Orton gets his arm raised by the referee as Mercury rushes around to Punk and helps the unconscious Cross out of the ring. They begin to go up the ramp but Orton takes a mic and says "Punk" 2 times before he yells his name and he finally turns around looking pitiful. Orton says he knows he didn't forget about their deal made earlier. He says at Summerslam when they face in 3 Stages of Hell, there isn't going to be standard singles matches, no count out matches, or blindfold matches - but instead he has 3 matches already set in his mind. First fall: Falls Count Anywhere. The crowd pops and he says the second fall will be a Last Man Standing Match, and then he says if the third fall is needed for him to put Punk away again, it will be a stretcher match! The crowd pop even more as Punk and the Straight Edge Society continue up the ramp, and Orton looks on with a grin.
Commercial Break
We return to see the set of The Peep Show. It scans over as ladders are set up in the ring. Christian makes his way down to the ring to a good pop from the crowd. He taps the mic as he gets in and he asks if people like the site. He laughs a bit and says this past Sunday, his brother Edge retained the WWE Championship because he used one of the displayed ladders for the Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View, getting himself disqualified. He says that they have a lot of history with ladders, and he found it kind of ironic, so he asked for these ladders to be displayed in his session of The Peep Show, and his guest is none other then the 'low life' WWE Champion himself. He tells him to come on out, and Edge makes his way out to the ramp. He stays there and is handed a mic. He says that he would love to be a guest on The Peep Show, but he honestly can't because the way Christian has his 'so-called set' put together, it just disgusts him. Christian says that is fine by him, and he isn't too fond of The Cutting Edge either but at least he had the guts to come down to the ring and get face to face with him a few weeks ago. The crowd cheer behind Christian and Edge says he doesn't care, in fact, he doesn't care about Christian at all and he shouldn't be taking time out of his life for his. He begins to walk off backstage but Christian tells him to hold on, because he has some news he might want to here. He starts to climb up the ladder and sits on top of it as Edge looks on. He sits on top and says that news is that in the contract that they signed for their match this past Sunday, it says he is entitled to a rematch if he won by disqualification or count out, and he won by disqualification. He says he knows that if they go on to have a simple rematch, Edge will just get himself counted out so he can put it off for another month. He says that isn't going to happen because their rematch will be at Summerslam. He points to the ladders, including the one he is on top of and says it will involve ladders - but not just ladders, but chairs and tables too. He says they are going back to their roots as a tag team and they are piling it all together into one hell of a battle. Edge says he doesn't have to do this, and Christian says if he doesn't - he'll be forfeiting his WWE Championship and handing it over to him. Edge slams the mic down and pulls at his hair as Christian says "see you at Summerslam, brother". He lets the microphone drop to the mat as he smiles, having an across the arena stare down with his enraged brother, to bring an end to this edition of Smackdown. |

-Great opening promos all week long. Orton/Punk in Three Stages of Hell at SummerSlam is epic. No better place to do it.
-Danielson over Burchill was expected. Burchill wouldn't make a bad US Champion but Danielson's time is now.
-Big Show's side difference made me expect Show to win. Good call.
-Bourne vs. Kingston sounded awesome. Bourne over was great since he is Mr. MITB. Adds some suspense to see who has the MITB case. I suspect Jericho or McIntyre.
-Good promo for Kurt Angle. Angle/Swagger feud is off to a great start.
-Sheamus over Kane is something I'm not huge on but it's a good call. Hoping that Kane gets at least a shot towards main event before he retires.
-Lee over Melina was a decent call.
-Orton beating Mercury and Cross was a shocker sort of. But this is real good hype for SummerSlam.
-Good show.

WWE In Search of Power Duo
Plans have been rumored around that the WWE creative team is trying to figure out a power duo team, as they want them to have some kind of fallout, much like what was probably planned originally with Edge and Chris Jericho, before Edge's injury. At this point, the power duo is expected to be found within the next two months, and they will be immediate contenders towards the Unified Tag Team titles.
Undertaker's Return
The Undertaker has been continuing his recent time off, and rumors are he did get married to his girlfriend of a few years, fellow diva Michelle McCool. He is scheduled to return late in the year, and not take his time off after WrestleMania 27, as he plans on his final WrestleMania to be in 2012 (WrestleMania 28). Most likely he will be a part of the Raw brand, rather then the brand he is known best on since the draft - Smackdown.
December Pay-Per-View Voting
The WWE Universe will be in control of what the December Pay-Per-View will be as e-mails to subscribers will be sent out within the next few weeks as to what it should be. Once announced, we will be filling everybody in on what the event will be.[/font] |

- Good opening promo with SES/Orton. Hopefully Orton wins so the 3 stages are a bit more brutal than the ones Punk suggested.
- Danielson over Burchill was definitely the best decision and it was a good match. Interesting to see The Colons make the save.
- Show over MVP is a fine call and Show's post match actions were very intriguing.
- A great match with Kofi and Evan. Wonder who took the briefcase?
- A good segment with Swagger/Angle. Angle getting the upperhand is nice.
- Sheamus over Kane is great.
- Lee over Melina is kinda surprising, even with Beth's involvement. Good nonetheless.
- Orton winning is great and the 3 stages of hell sounds like it can be a MOTYC.
- A good edition of The Peep Show. TLC at SummerSlam sounds amazing.
Great SmackDown. SummerSlam already looks like it's going to be an event to remember.

WWEMITB: Very nice, clean graphics for the show, Very good opener between Kofi and Punk, I like the idea of qualifying matches as it gets more wrestlers on the card. Kofi over Punk is fine as would have been Punk over Kofi. Post match heat in the SES, that's no good. Shelton over Zeke is great. Zeke would'nt be as entertaining as Shelton in a MITB Ladder Match. Humorous SummerSlam trailer, I like it. Great pre-match attack on Truth by McIntyre. It worked as it doesn't take up as much time on a stacked PPV. Good promo from the Miz followed by the World Championship Match. Not surprised Miz retained there, I'd like to see a healthy run from him. Oh My! Shawn Michaels superkicks Cena AND Morrison, I love it. A Morrison/Michaels fued would be great. Christian vs. Kofi sounds good from SmackDown! Jericho over DiBiase is good, Chris still needs to be kept looking strong. The Legacy segment reminds me of the Nexus. Well done. Glad to see Bourne AND Ziggler both on PPV, Bourne winning is good. Sheamus over Orton works well with the SES attack, I liked that. KURT ANGLE!? wow, that's amazing, especially with SummerSlam on the horizon and Jakc tapping out to the Ankle Lock. Christian over Edge via DQ is nice, keeps both men strong for another match at SummerSlam. Sick aftermath to the match too. The Money in the Bank Ladder Match as the main event is good. Very shocked to see Evan Bourne win the match out of all the men on that graphic but I love it. Great PPV!
WWERAW: Very good opening segment with The Miz and Morrison, I'm confident that Morrison is too win tonight. R-Truth over Hawkins is fine, obviously Trent and Caylen are the Dudebusters. McCool and Rhodes going over is fine. You used the mixed tag match well, always have the women involved with the pinfall. Great promo with Jericho and Bourne and then Bourne over Jericho to follow it up. Jericho's postmatch attack makes me think that it'll be Evan vs. Jericho at SummerSlam. Great Angle/Batista segment, however I was looking forward to Angle vs. Swagger. David over Jay is cool. Cryme Tyme vs. The Hart Dynasty sounds like a lacklustre match but it works. Wonder what Matt Hardy's up to. I liked the DQ finish to Morrison/Miz keeps both men strong and we still get Mizorrison at SummerSlam. John Cena vs. Shawn Michaels at SummerSlam sounds awesome, can't wait for that. Good job on RAW
WWEECW: Evan vs. Kofi sounds really good for SmackDown! exciting match. Drew attacking Bourne makes sense, I'd like to see McIntyre as ECW Champ. I like Omega in the WWE. Gabriel and Kaval going over is cool, Seems like a dcent tag team. Chavo winning is a nie surprise. I like the clash between ECW and McMahon. Drew getting a cheap victory there is good for him. Interesting situation for next week now. Good edition of ECW.
WWESmackDown!: I LOVE that Punk thinks Kofi used drugs to jump high, lmao. Randy Orton vs. Punk in a 3 Stages of Hell match would be amazing but Punk's stipulations do suck ass. I'd love to see what Randy has in store if he wins his match. Bryan Danielson over Burchill is a good opener. Surprised to see The Colons coming to aid the US Champion. Glad Primo and Carlito have reformed. The Uso's attacking them sets up a fued staright away which is good. Show over MVP is fine, but I don't like the idea of MVP jobbing out. Not sure extra attacking was totally neccassary. Love Bourne over Kofi, sicne Bourne is Mr.Money in the Bank althought, not sure about him working two matches in one week. OMG, The breifcase is gone? That's awesome, this could be a great storyline. Maybe we will get Swagger/Angle afterall. Sheamus over Kane is good, Kane has established himself enough to take those losses. Lee over Melina is good, I'm a fan of April's so her getting a title match would be great. So happy Orton won his handicap match. I like the three new, realistic stipulations for SummerSlam. Good way to end SmackDown with a promo. Christian vs. Edge in a TLC Match is amazing. SummerSlam is stacked so far, can't wait to see whatelse you have instore, GREAT SmackDown.

 Raw: July 26th, 2010 Preview

l JULY 26th, 2010 l AT&T Center: SAN ANTONIO, TX l
"The Showstopper is Home"
The opening pyros go off and we are welcomed to Monday Night Raw by Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler. Shawn Michaels makes his way out to a huge ovation from his hometown crowd. He gets in the ring and gets on the mic. He asks for them all to calm down, he is no hero. The crowd go silent as he speaks, and Michaels goes on. He says that recently with all these things happening, he has really not treated the fans right, and that isn't right on its own. He looks down to the mat and says he should apologize, so here it goes. He raises his head up with a cocky grin and says The Heart Break Kid doesn't need to apologize because his actions speak for his words and he has continuously kicked John Cena's teeth down his throat. He gets some heat and he says he is just being honest with each and every one of them, and then he raises a finger up and says speaking of kicking people's teeth down their throat, John Morrison will be meeting that fate in the main event tonight. John Cena has heard enough and he makes his way down to the ring, getting right up in HBK's face. He gets on the mic himself and says enough is enough, he's sick of this. He says Shawn used to be the perfect example of a hometown hero and now he acts like this. He says he told him about it all last week but that doesn't make any true difference to him and he will not stop until he changes him back to the Heart Break Kid he has known throughout these years. Shawn says he doesn't want to go back, he wants to get rid of "scum like John Cena". He gets some more heat and Cena puts his hands up and says he promised himself he wasn't going to take it this far, and HBK calls him a pile of garbage running around the WWE like it's his playpen each and every week and playing his "fake self" to the crowd. Cena drops his mic and gets into Shawn's face again and they start to trade blows. Shawn goes for the Sweet Chin Music, but Cena ducks under it and lifts him for the Attitude Adjustment. However, he is unable to hit it as HBK slips off and gets out of the ring quickly. He heads up the ramp in a hurry as he and Cena stare down.
Commercial Break
Tag Team Match
Serena Mancini and Natalya w/Bret Hart vs Team LayCool
The bell rings as Serena starts off with Layla. A few slams are hit on Layla that stun her, and she tries to fight back. However, Serena's power works to her favor and she tags in Natalya following some control, and then she proceeds to use her power as well impressively. Layla rakes the eyes and makes the tag and some cheap offense gets in, but McCool is sent to the mat. Eve comes rushing to the ring, Natalya distracted, and McCool rolls her up for the 3.
Winners of the match: Team LayCool [6:25] **
Serena goes off towards Eve, who runs backstage. She then gets in the ring as LayCool are about to attack Natalya and she scares them off. Bret gets in the ring in anger, saying that Vince will get what is coming to him, and Natalya doesn't need to worry about it.
We head backstage to Josh Mathews and he introduces his guest to be Curt Hawkins. He holds his face in his hands as Mathews asks about last week, and Hawkins says that those two men he got them WWE contracts a while back. He says that Caylen Croft made his debut on Smackdown in December alone but he obviously couldn't handle it and was off the show within a few months time. He says that along with Trent Barreta he can actually do something, but those two along with him can actually do something big. Barreta and Croft step up behind him with large smirks and Hawkins says they may of made the mistake of costing him his match last week, but he forgives them because "The Dudebusters" need to stick together. They all walk off.
Commercial Break
Intercontinental Championship Tournament (Semis)
William Regal w/Wade Barrett vs Ted DiBiase
The bell rings and DiBiase takes Regal down early on with multiple clotheslines and slams. Regal fights back cheaply by raking the eyes and then hitting some shots. DiBiase ducks and goes for the Dream Street, but Regal elbows him off. He does some nice technical moves once on the mat, but after a couple minutes, DiBiase is back in control as Legacy rush down, distracting the ref. Barrett gets in the ring and hits The Wasteland and Regal pins him for the 3.
Winner of the match: William Regal [8:10] **3/4
Regal and Barrett begin a beat down on DiBiase, Legacy joining in. However, the opponent for Regal for next week, R-Truth, comes down to the ring in a hurry. He strikes at Regal before being clotheslined down by Joe and Brett, and they feed him to Barrett who hits The Wasteland. Rhodes proceeds to hit the Cross Rhodes on Ted. They all stand over the two in satisfaction.
Commercial Break
We return in Teddy Long's office and he is on the phone. He says he'll talk to them later and hangs up as Drew McIntyre steps in. He smiles and says he has news for Teddy, he is going to be losing one of his best prospects tomorrow night. Teddy asks what he means by that and Drew says once he wins the ECW Championship, it will make him a part of the ECW roster and therefore, Teddy won't have the future of the WWE, "The Chosen One" a part of his show anymore and he'll be weeping because of it. Teddy wishes him luck with that sarcastically and then pretends to get emotional and says that he'll really be at lost without Drew a part of his show. McIntyre says enough with the joking around, he is dead serious.
We cut to Josh Mathews and he introduces his guest to be the World Heavyweight Champion, The Miz. He goes to ask him a question but Miz cuts him off and says that he knows what Josh is going to ask him. What are his thoughts on facing John Cena. Josh nods slowly and Miz says his thoughts are that he doesn't care, he has beaten John Cena multiple times before and he won't struggle to capitalize on defeating him once again tonight. He says it has become a routine with him, and now he knows for a fact that he can defeat Cena with barely any effort. He laughs a bit and asks Josh if he knows why, and shouts "because I'm The Miz! And I'm awesome!" He shoves the mic into his chest with a grin and struts off.
Commercial Break
Non-Title Match
John Cena vs World Heavyweight Champion The Miz
The bell rings, Miz getting pounded on early on but he fights back with some cheap shots and gets a bit of his own offense in. Cena hits an early Attitude Adjustment, but can't get the win. Following minutes of back and forth action, Cena goes for the Attitude Adjustment again but Miz slides off and hits the Skull Crushing Finale, only getting a 2 count. This leads to Miz trying to get cheap wins, and he eventually rolls Cena up with leverage for the 3.
Winner of the match: The Miz [10:02] ***
Cena is furious and tries to go after Miz, but he escapes from the ring untouched, taking his World Title along with him. He grins in mock of Cena, who shakes his head in disappointment at the loss.
Commercial Break
Tag Team Match
Batista and Chris Jericho vs Evan Bourne and Kofi Kingston
Kingston was the hand picked partner of Bourne, and he takes Jericho to the limit as the bell rings unloading with hard kicks and strikes. He does the same to Batista once he is tagged in, but gets overpowered after a few minutes. Kingston tags in Bourne, who gets a couple surprising near falls on Batista. However, Jericho makes a blind tag during a Batista Bomb, and once hit, Batista takes out Kingston well Jericho locks in the Walls of Jericho for the tap.
Winners of the match: Chris Jericho and Batista [8:47] **1/2
Following the match, Batista just slowly exits the ring after throwing Kingston into the steel steps. Teddy Long steps out to the ramp with a mic and tells Jericho he knows that he has Evan Bourne's briefcase. Jericho just looks up to him, and Teddy says he has an idea. He says if he hands over that briefcase, he'll give him a resolution by putting him in a triple threat match for the Money in the Bank Briefcase at Summerslam. Jericho says he'll do it, and Long says then it will be Evan Bourne vs Chris Jericho vs Kofi Kingston for the Money in the Bank Briefcase at Summerslam on August 15!
Commercial Break
Singles Match
Unified Tag Team Champion Tyson Kidd w/Bret Hart, David Hart Smith, and Natalya vs Shad Gaspard w/Vince McMahon, Jayson Paul, and Eve Torres
The bell rings, a Unified Tag Team Title match on the line. Gaspard over powers Kidd to start, but Kidd unloads with strikes - firing with kicks and punches. He hits a few high flying moves, but there are one too many and he is caught and dropped with a spinebuster. Gaspard goes on to hit a few spinebusters and press slams, and goes to finish it off with a big boot but is tripped into a sharpshooter. Paul distracts the ref, which leads to Eve getting on the other apron and distracting Kidd, Natalya taking care of her. Kidd turns to a big boot and the pinfall.
Winner of the match: Shad Gaspard [9:05] **1/4
Gaspard celebrates the win, but Smith comes rushing in to attack him but he gets out of the ring before he can. McMahon says those Unified Tag Team Titles are coming home to him as Bret just shakes his head in disgust towards Vince. Himself and Natalya get in the ring to check on Kidd as Paul and Gaspard motion for the belts with grins along with Eve and Vince.
Commercial Break
We return to see a brand new Summerslam promo video, titling it "Austin Powers". Kaval is seen sitting in a chair, in the role of Dr. Evil, Michael Cole as Number 2, and Zack Ryder steps in - in the role of Austin Powers. Kaval asks what he wants now, seeming annoyed, and Ryder tells him he's here to save the world, baby, woo woo woo - you know it! Kaval sighs and stands up, walking up to Ryder and kicking him in the back of the head. Cole shouts, "Oh My!" as Kaval is going to walk away, and he comes back and kicks Cole in the back of the head as well. After he walks off, a voice over says: Summerslam, August 15.
We cut to backstage following the video to see John Morrison in his locker room. In steps John Cena and they chat it up a bit before Cena says he wants him to know he has his back here tonight. Morrison thanks him and says he has his too. Cena says that he faced Shawn a few times - and he wants to warn him, he isn't anything like himself or The Miz. He says this match is going to be difficult, like nothing he has ever had to put up against. Morrison says he knows that, he's a big fan of Shawn, but he is all about himself right now so he doesn't know how to deal with this except beat him tonight. Cena warns him once again, and reminds him he'll have his back. Morrison thanks him as the main event is next.
Commercial Break
Singles Match
John Morrison vs Shawn Michaels
The bell rings, Michaels hitting some chops in the corner to start and Morrison doing the same. They trade this for the opening minute before HBK unloads with strikes and his signature forearm and tries to finish off early with the Sweet Chin Music, Morrison catching him and taking him down for a standing shooting star press. They trade momentum back and forth before Morrison hits the Starship Pain and only gets a 2 count. HBK rolls out of the ring after.
Commercial Break
We return to see HBK applying a figured four leg lock on Morrison, who scrambles around a bit. Morrison eventually reaches the ropes and they go on to trade more blows. HBK ducks a shot and hits the Sweet Chin Music, but only gets a 2 count as Morrison gets his foot on the rope. HBK stays in control, but Morrison hits the Moonlight Drive. He goes for the Starship Pain, but as the referee checks on HBK, The Miz hops over the barricade and pushes Morrison down to smash his face into the turnbuckle. HBK doesn't even see it but hits the Sweet Chin Music as Morrison turns and gets the pinfall.
Winner of the match: Shawn Michaels [12:46] ***1/4
After the match, The Miz gets in the ring and offers HBK a high five. Shawn asks what he did and Miz says he helped him out and HBK just looks to the crowd. He begins to walk off, leaving Miz there, and he delivers the Sweet Chin Music. Morrison gets up in confusion and HBK extends his hand. Morrison takes it, but HBK hits the Sweet Chin Music on him also as he turns. John Cena runs down to the ring immediately after and takes HBK down, unloading with strikes. He lifts him for the Attitude Adjustment and hits it, standing tall to end Raw. |

WWERAW: Loving HBK's heel turn. Glad Cena shows and the end of the segment was good, can't ait for their match. Laycool over Serena and Natalya is fine with the distraction. Glad the Dudebusters have debuted with Hawkins. Surprised Regal got into the final, Regal vs. Truth doesn't really appeal to me. McIntyre as ECW Champ would be great, though I'm not sure If you'll do it. I liked Miz interuppting Matthews and getting his question correct. Surprised to see Cena/Miz so low on the card but it's a fine first hour main event. Glad Miz got the cheap win. Batista and Jericho look alot like like the better team there, so it makes sense that he won. Love the triple threat match for SummerSlam, glad Jericho was the won who stole MITB. Gaspard winning is fine for momnetum purposes, them beating a Tag Champion is good. lmao @ the SummerSlam commerical, very inventive with the Austin Powers theme. Nice talk between Cena and Morrison, good to see that Cena's got his back. HBK going over was definitely the right decision, happy that we had an interference there too. HBK's cheap shot on Morrison works. Cena standing tall is good too. Good RAW.

-Good promo. HBK/Cena at SummerSlam is epic. As your typical Cena fan, I'm going for him.
-Laycool over Natalya and Mancini is decent. Natalya/Eve feud should be upcoming and good at that.
-William Regal over Ted DiBiase is decent. Push DiBiase.
-Miz over Cena is fine.
-Jericho and Batista winning is solid. The MITB match is nice.
-Shad over Kidd is good hype for the match at SummerSlam but I'd bet they don't win.
-Morrison/Michaels is a classic. Hope that Morrison wins the WHC and then HBK and Morrison feud in Face vs. Face. HBK winning is solid.
-Good RAW; nice hyping SummerSlam.

- A great opening segment with Cena and Michaels. Both of them getting into a fight is nice.
- Laycool winning is fine.
- Regal winning is certainly a surprise. Love Legacy/Regal/Barrett standing over Ted and Truth.
- Great to see Miz pin Cena, even with the extra leverage.
- Jericho/Batista winning is nice. Looking forward to the Triple Threat for the briefcase.
- Gaspard winning is good as it gives him and Paul a title shot.
- I lol'd so hard at the SummerSlam promo.
- Michaels beating Morrison in a great match is nice. Cena standing tall over Michaels is also good.
- Good Raw. SummerSlam keeps on getting better.
