Triple Threat Match for the Money in the Bank Briefcase
Chris Jericho vs Kofi Kingston vs Evan Bourne©
The bell rings as all three men wander around the ring glancing at each other. Jericho goes at Bourne and unloads with strikes before Kingston comes rushing at him and hits some on him. Bourne then joins in with Kingston and they each hit shots on Jericho, and proceed to hit a double dropkick to send Jericho to the outside. Both men get up and Kingston hits a kick to the ribs, then another, and lastly one to the head to send Bourne back into the corner. Kingston runs at him and jumps onto the second turnbuckle, sending punches down. He hits nine, but jumps down on the tenth and runs to the ropes. He comes back and hits a huge dropkick that stuns Bourne. Jericho gets back in the ring and clotheslines Kingston as soon as he is back up, and he begins to stomp down viciously. He pulls Kingston up and rakes the eyes, then telling the referee to shut up as he tries to warn him. He hits a few shots to the head and whips Kingston to the ropes and hits a kick to the gut as he comes back, and then an enziguri. He goes for the pinfall, but Kingston kicks out at 2. Bourne then comes up and strikes at Jericho and then jumps high in the air to deliver a hurricanrana. He converts it into a pin, but Kingston is up and he kicks Bourne in the jaw to break the pin. Bourne stays on his feet, wobbling, and takes another kick to the ribs and then the Trouble in Paradise. Jericho is up behind him and he hits the Codebreaker! Kingston takes an advantage off it and pulls Bourne into a backslide pin, Jericho breaking it up almost immediately. He unloads with strikes down on Kingston's back and they get back up, Jericho still striking. He takes Kingston into the corner and whips him to the opposing one. He runs at him, and eats a boot to the face. Kingston then roundhouse kicks him, causing him to collapse in between the top and middle rope. Bourne comes running around the ring and hops on the apron, delivering a leg drop to Jericho, who springs back into the ring and to his feet. Kingston hits Trouble in Paradise on him. He quickly goes for the pin, but Jericho puts his free leg on the bottom rope. As Kingston questions the referee in disbelief, Bourne is climbing to the top turnbuckle. Kingston gets up and turns around and gets hit with the double knee drop. Bourne rolls back to his feet, taunting to the crowd. He climbs up to the top turnbuckle again and hits the double knee drop on Jericho as he gets to his feet. He scurries back to his feet and gets to the top turnbuckle once more, and jumps off for Air Bourne but he hangs for a long time and goes right over Jericho to land on Kingston! The crowd goes insane as he went halfway across the ring to deliver it. Bourne is stunned by it and is unable to go for the pin just yet. Jericho struggles to his feet with aid of the ropes and he goes over to Bourne as he goes to pin Kingston and pulls on his legs, dragging him into the Walls of Jericho. He screams out telling Bourne to tap, but he refuses. He pulls back harder and harder and it seems like Bourne is about to give up as Kingston gets to one knee. He springs to his feet as he sees the hold locked in and hits off the ropes in front of Jericho, who gets up, and is hit with a huge dropkick. Bourne is on his hands and knees, so Jericho trips over him and Bourne rolls him up. Kingston rushes over and pulls Bourne off by the waist and rolls him up, then Bourne rolls through for one, but Kingston just pushes him off. They get up and stare each other down with grins. Jericho comes rushing to them for a double clothesline, simultaneously however, they duck and hit a double dropkick on Jericho's turn to send him into the corner. Bourne then whips Kingston into him and then runs and hits knees to the chest. As Jericho wobbles, Kingston takes him down with the SOS. Bourne quickly strikes at Kingston and he fires back. They continue to go at it until Kingston suddenly goes for Trouble in Paradise but Bourne ducks it and hits a huge enziguri that causes Kingston to collapse through the ropes and onto the apron. Bourne spots Jericho still down and quickly makes his way to the corner and up to the top turnbuckle once more. He stands up and jumps off for the Air Bourne but out of nowhere Jericho is up to his feet and he catches Bourne in mid-air delivering the codebreaker! The crowd goes insane at this as Bourne folds up like an accordion. Jericho's eyes are glazed over as he is breathless, and suddenly Kingston is back in the ring and he hits the Boom Drop on Jericho. He drags him back to his feet and unloads with chop after chop then mixes it up with some kicks to the legs and then the ribs. Jericho wobbles into the middle of the ring, and Kingston hits Trouble in Paradise. He lays down for a little while before getting back to his feet, and as he does, Bourne is back up and he rushes over to hit a dropkick - sending Kingston into the corner. Bourne gets back up and runs to him, diving into the gut. He then hits a suplex landing down onto Jericho, Kingston laying out next to him. Bourne then climbs to the top turnbuckle once again and delivers the Air Bourne - landing on both men to the crowds very large pop. He holds his gut in pain for a bit before hooking the leg of Jericho and getting the 3 count.
Winner and still Money in the Bank holder: Evan Bourne [15:11] ***1/4
Bourne celebrates his victory, taking the Money in the Bank briefcase and taunting it to the crowd. He climbs to each turnbuckle and continues to taunt it. Kingston gets up applauding him. Bourne walks up to them and they shake hands and hug as friends. Jericho gets up holding the back of his head and begins to yell at them that the briefcase is his. Bourne and Kingston begin to laugh and suddenly hit a double dropkick on Jericho, sending him to and through the ropes. Bourne and Kingston continue to taunt to the crowd who are in approval.
We head backstage to see Josh Mathews. He introduces his guest to be Jack Swagger. He asks about facing Kurt Angle in his return match tonight - if he is nervous. Swagger says that last month at Money In The Bank he was embarrassed by Kurt Angle, and tonight he is far from nervous. He goes on saying that on Smackdown he said he was going to break Kurt Angle's ankle, and that is no different tonight - he's going to make sure Kurt wishes he never came back to the WWE because he'll just end up on crutches thanks to the All-American American.

Orton grabs him by the head, but Punk pulls him up for the GTS well keeping the stretcher balanced with his foot. He goes to drop him down, but Orton slides off the shoulders and throws Punk's head into the metal part of the stretcher, and then lays his limp body across it. He walks around the stretcher to push it, but chooses not to and backs up. He comes running back and punts Punk in the skull! Orton grabs the stretcher's edge with a satisfied grin, and drags it over the line.
Winner of the match: Randy Orton [18:38] ****
Orton celebrates his victory as the crowd cheers wildly for him. Punk is shown still unconscious across the stretcher as Orton shakes his head, walking backstage well replays of the finishes for each fall is shown with Punk's Go To Sleep off the apron in the Falls Count Anywhere, Orton's RKO off the stage in a reverse of the GTS for the Last Man Standing, and the Punt from Orton in the Stretcher Match.

Singles Match
John Cena vs Shawn Michaels
The bell rings as Cena steps out to the middle of the ring and extends his hand. Michaels steps out and looks at it, shaking his head and chopping Cena. Cena sends a quick strike back, and Michaels with a chop. They battle back and forth with chop and strike, chop and strike. Michaels ducks one and lifts Cena up, dropping him with the atomic drop. He hits another chop before hitting a quick dropkick. He pops back to his feet, Cena doing so as well. Michaels goes for a clothesline, but Cena ducks under it and goes off the ropes, coming back with a Thesz press and hitting tons of strikes to the head before Michaels tosses him off. They get back up and stare each other down as the crowd applauds the action. Cena offers his hand again and Michaels slaps it away. They lock up, Cena ducking under the arm and hitting the spin out belly to back suplex and pops up, motioning "You Can't See Me" and hits off the ropes, coming back for the Five Knuckle Shuffle only for Michaels to kip back up to his feet and stare at Cena. As they stare, HBK goes for another chop, Cena catching it and whipping him to the corner, HBK rolling up onto it. He stays there however and gets onto his feet on it, hitting a moonsault on the standing Cena. He hooks the leg, only getting a two count. They get back to their feet and Michaels hits a chop, Cena firing back with a strike and the series begins again before HBK grabs Cena by the back of the head and runs with him, tossing him over the top rope. Cena gets right back up and in the ring, ducking a shot and grabbing HBK by the back of the head and tossing him over. However, as he turns around and motions his hands in a 'cleaned up' manner, HBK has held onto the ropes and he skins the cat. However, in the middle of it Cena pulls him onto his shoulders and pulls him out to the middle of the ring, delivering the Attitude Adjustment. The crowd give a mixed reaction towards it, but still exploding. Cena hooks the leg, but Michaels just barely kicks out. Cena gets up and motions "You Can't See Me" and manages to hit the Five Knuckle Shuffle successfully this time. He gets up and goes to the corner, pulling himself to the second turnbuckle, sitting on the top. He straightens up as Michaels is getting up in the middle of the ring and he jumps off for the leg drop, but out of nowhere Michaels hits the superkick well Cena is in mid air! The crowd stand up and roar in approval of this. Both men are out and the referee checks on them, beginning a count. As he reaches 6, Michaels drapes his arm across Cena but at what seems like 2.9, Cena kicks out. Both men slowly roll to opposing sides of the ring and eventually get to their feet. Michaels runs at him and hits the flying forearm, kipping up to his feet and climbing to the top turnbuckle trying to get this one finished. He hits his signature elbow drop and stays on the mat, kipping up once more. He throws his arms around wildly and goes to the corner, tuning up the band. The crowd watch on in anticipation as Cena gets to his hands and knees, then to one knee, and finally to his feet. Michaels comes skipping over and goes for Sweet Chin Music on the turn, but Cena catches his foot and drops him to the mat, quickly turning it into the STF! Michaels scrambles quickly trying to find a way out but it is too late as it is locked in. He battles onward, the crowd chanting back and forth with "Cena" "H-B-K" chants. As about a minute reaches with the hold in, HBK manages to drape his hand onto the bottom rope. Cena collapses off him breathlessly. Cena rises to his feet, as does Michaels, and they stumble towards each other. They begin the chop and strike game again, Michaels going for a sudden superkick - Cena ducking under it and lifting him for the Attitude Adjustment. Michaels slips off and lands on one knee. He pops up to go for the superkick once again, but Cena pulls him onto his shoulders, Michaels scrambling. Cena hits the Attitude Adjustment this time and hooks the leg for the 3 count.
Winner of the match: John Cena [16:30] ****
Cena rises to his feet, getting his arm raised in victory. He looks down to Michaels and extends his hand to help him up. HBK looks for a moment before taking it and rises to his feet. The two stare at each other intensely. Michaels then shakes Cena's hand and the two hug. Cena raises Michaels' hand to the crowd as they applaud the effort put into this match by both men. They begin to exit the ring.
We cut to a video package showing Edge and Christian becoming 7 time World Tag Team Champions together until Christian's ego change in 2001. The video cuts to 2006 where Edge wins his first WWE Championship, and continues on showing his 8 reigns after that. It then shows Edge returning at the Royal Rumble and getting retribution on Big Show and Chris Jericho for eliminating Christian, but ultimately being eliminated by Show thanks to Jericho. The video leads up to Christian being revealed as the partner for Edge to face the team at WrestleMania, and they win the tag team titles. They manage to retain in a TLC match at Extreme Rules, but at Over the Limit Edge changes his ways and abandons Christian in their defense against The Hart Dynasty, and they lose the titles. Highlights of the feud escalating and getting personal about Edge's giant ego to not care about his brother flicker through, and Edge winning the WWE Championship at Fatal 4 Way. Edge intentionally gets himself disqualified at Money in the Bank, and the recent highlights of the two are shown over the past few weeks and the video concludes flickering between the two teaming and being face to face.
After the video, we cut backstage to see John Cena walking and being congratulated by crew members, him thanking them. However, as he is doing so somebody says "Hey John" and he turns to Batista who clotheslines him down. He begins to stomp him down hard and pulls him up to his feet, throwing him hard against the wall and then hitting the spinebuster through a display table. He looks down at him as help come rushing to Cena's aid. Batista walks off.
Tables, Ladders, and Chairs Match for the WWE Championship
Christian vs Edge©
The bell rings as both men look up at the WWE Championship that is suspended 15 feet above the ring. Edge motions it is his and Christian says "not for long." They walk out to the middle of the ring giving some trash talk, and Edge sends a strike and Christian sends one right back. They trade strike after strike until Edge ducks one and slides out of the ring, grabbing a ladder quickly. However, Christian runs and hits a baseball slide, sending the ladder back into Edge and forcing him into the barricade. Christian slips out of the ring and grabs a chair, clocking Edge in the shoulder with it. Edge stumbles off quickly and Christian follows, going to hit him once more, but Edge pulls one of the ladders in front of him. Christian loses hold of the chair and Edge pushes the ladder into his face. He closes the ladder up as Christian falls down, and he shoves the ladder into the ring. Edge gets in the ring, setting the ladder up and positioning it in the middle of the ring carefully. Christian comes in the ring from behind however and clotheslines Edge into the ladder. He climbs over him, but Edge grabs his ankle and pulls him off, the two trading strikes again. Christian ducks one and trips him into the ladder hard enough to cause it to fall down. Christian takes him by the hair and tights and throws him into the steel post. He steps out of the ring and grabs one of the tables and sets it up on the outside. As he is doing so, however, Edge has put the ladder back in the middle of the ring and is beginning to climb it. Christian quickly gets back in the ring and scurries up the ladder as Edge is at the top, he is halfway. He reaches the top and grabs the belt, swaying it away from Edge and then strikes him hard. He does it again, causing Edge to fire back. Christian wobbles and sends another, Edge matching it. They both begin to wobble a bit as Christian slowly begins to climb down it, as does Edge. However, Edge gets down first and shoves the ladder off to the other side and causes Christian to collapse across the ropes, dropping him onto the apron. Edge catches his breath in the corner and steps out of the ring, going around to Christian and picking up one of the chairs. He hits Christian in the gut with it, and then across the back. He licks his lips sadistically and tosses the chair off to the side, taking hold of one of the tables and putting it into the ring. He gets in and sets it up in the corner and then pulls the ladder back in place. He takes notice of Christian getting up slightly on the outside, and he leans between the ropes to pull him up onto the apron and drags him into the ring, throwing him into the table. Christian suddenly jerks an elbow into Edge's gut though, and dropkicks him into the ladder. Edge holds onto it though to keep it standing, and Christian hits a quick DDT. He gets back up and steps out of the ring, grabbing the chair once again and getting back in the ring to hit Edge across the back as he is on his knees. He takes hold of Edge's hair and tights again and runs with him to the ropes and goes to toss him out, but Edge wraps himself in the ropes and stands up on the apron, pulling the rope down as Christian goes to strike him, causing him to fall out. However, Christian lands on his feet and trips Edge up to the floor and he decks him with a hard forearm. He walks off to the side and picks up another ladder, and goes to hit Edge with it but the Rated R Superstar catches hold of it and pushes it back into Christian until he is put in between it and the barricade. Edge pulls the ladder away and Christian holds his gut, and Edge comes rushing at him and spears him right through the barricade into the open part of the crowd. Both men are laid out as the referee follows to check on them. Edge slowly rolls over and gets on his hands and knees. He begins to get up with the aid of the barricade parting that is still there. He stumbles towards the ring and slowly rolls in. He grabs onto the ladder rungs and begins to pull himself up a bit. As he begins to ascend it, Christian is wobbling towards the ring. He goes in on the other side of Edge as he is near the top and Christian begins to shake it. Edge looks down and just laughs, and Christian puts all of his strength in to force the ladder to begin to move. Edge waves his hands 'no' over and over and quickly begins to scurry down. However, as he drops to his feet the ladder flies right into his face. Christian pulls the ladder back in place and Edge suddenly spears him after it is set. Both men are down and the crowd has no idea which way this one is going to go. Edge begins to stir and crawls over to the ladder and gets to his knees. He staggers up against it and begins to climb. The crowd boos but they suddenly begin to cheer, Edge in question as to what is going on. He looks down as Christian has dragged the table he put in earlier towards the ladder. He pulls himself onto it and is able to grab Edge's foot. He climbs up onto the ladder behind him and Edge turns half way to strike at him. Christian strikes back though, and continues to force himself higher up the ladder. Edge turns back to face the ladder and continues to climb as Christian stays next to him. He thinks he is going to make it but Christian grabs him by his long hair and throws him face first into the ladder. He grabs onto an arm and pulls it to him, and then the other as Edge yells out. Christian manages to move very slowly to turn it into the Killswitch and he jumps off, hitting the Killswitch through the table! Both men are laid out as the crowd goes insane in cheers. A very large "Christian" chant begins as he stirs to one knee. He notices Edge still out and he begins to ascend the ladder very, very slowly. Edge is still down as Christian reaches to the top with tears of joy in his eyes. He grabs onto the championship belt, and he slowly unhooks it and quickly pulls it close to his chest with a smile.
Winner and NEW WWE Champion: Christian [24:09] ****1/2
The crowd and commentators go wild in congratulations towards Christian, as he has won his first world championship here in the WWE. Edge is seen laying on his back now looking up at the Christian celebrating the victory on top of the ladder. He sits on the very top rung and raises the WWE Championship over his head and yells out to the crowd in celebration to bring an end to the Summerslam 2010 Pay-Per-View. |

"Sights Set on the Scramble"
The opening pyros go off, Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler welcoming everybody to Monday Night Raw! Vince McMahon[/color] struts out to the ramp with boos coming all around the arena. He motions for them to boo louder by cupping his ear, and he makes his way down to the ring and getting on the mic. He laughs a bit and says last night he accomplished a goal that he will never forget: kill ECW. The crowd boo and McMahon says he is not as cold-hearted as it seems, and says an article on wwe.com stated that all of the ECW talent will be keeping their jobs, but will be moving onward. He says 6 superstars are now here on Raw and 6 now on Smackdown. He says that a final show will take place tomorrow, and following that a new program will be made to fill the void in the Tuesday slot. He says that next week as the 900th episode of Raw takes place and Smackdown returns to Thursday Nights, this new program will be made to bring in some new up and coming faces to the main stream. He says that this new concept will be called NXT and it will feature 8 amateur superstars coming onto the program well being mentored by 8 pros in the WWE from both Raw and Smackdown. He says he would like to reveal the pairings for NXT. Graphics appear showing the rookie and pro pairing as McMahon announces it in this order: Heath Slater and John Morrison, Darren Young and Shelton Benjamin, Skip Sheffield and Santino Marella, Percy Watson and Zack Ryder, David Otunga and MVP, Richie Steamboat and Chris Jericho, Alex Riley and Jack Swagger, and lastly Johnny Curtis and World Heavyweight Champion The Miz. He says that hosting the show will be Smackdown commentator Matt Striker, who will be relieved of his duties there as Paul Heyman rejoins to commentary with Jim Ross. He says more information will be given out next Tuesday when the show debuts. He says moving onward he hired Jayson Paul and Shad Gaspard to take the gold away from anybody in or associated with the Hart family, and they failed to take away the Unified Tag Team Championships from The Hart Dynasty. He says he realizes why they couldn't succeed in doing so, and it is simply because they don't deserve the opportunity! He says he wants Bret Hart and The Hart Dynasty to come down to the ring right now because he wants to tell them about what he plans on now. He waits a few moments and The Hart Dynasty and Bret Hart[/color] make their way down to the ring, skeptical. Hart gets on the mic and asks what Vince wants and he says that obviously his 'boys' were superior last night to his. Bret nods and Vince says that it was obviously too easy of a task for them, and he wants everybody to know that he will be scouting opponents for them at Night of Champions - and once he finds who fits best for the opportunity, they'll find out about it. Bret asks if that is all, and Vince says he has one more thing to say: no matter who challenges them, The Hart Dynasty will have no chance in Hell at winning. He struts to the ropes and steps out of the ring in satisfaction. Commercial BreakChampionship Scramble QualifierEzekiel Jackson[/color] vs John Morrison[/color] The bell rings and both men circle around the ring before locking up. Jackson overpowers Morrison with a hard slam to start, and continues his superiority afterward. After a couple minutes of strength and near falls, Morrison fires back with strikes and hits a dropkick that sends Zeke down. They go onward, trading momentum as Morrison takes Zeke down again with a dropkick. He misses the Starship Pain, however, and gets up to the Book of Ezekiel and pinfall. Winner of the match: Ezekiel Jackson (8:14) **1/2[/b][/color] Jackson rises, raising his fists in celebration as he has made a huge impact in his Raw debut, defeating the former World Heavyweight Champion in John Morrison. He begins to exit the ring, but walks back to Morrison - dragging him up by the hair. He hits the Book of Ezekiel again and leaves. We cut to The Hart Dynasty and Bret Hart walking in the parking lot, preparing to leave. However, as Hart gets in the limo, The Dudebusters run up to Kidd and Smith, clotheslining them hard. They throw them against the back of the limo head first, Hart getting out yelling at them. The Dudebusters quickly run off as they have taken their chance on the Unified Tag Team Champions to impress Mr. McMahon. Commercial BreakNon-Title Singles MatchWade Barrett[/color] vs Intercontinental Champion R-Truth[/color] The bell rings as Truth fires off with strikes to Barrett, who isn't very effected by them, so he just clotheslines Truth to the mat. He hits a few slams as Truth fights back the best he can, unable to take the big man down. However, he soon manages to kick the gut and deliver the Axe Kick. Barrett manages to kick out of the pin though. Truth works him some more and goes for the Axe Kick again, but Barrett avoids it and hits the Wasteland, gaining the pinfall. Winner of the match: Wade Barrett (6:22) **1/4[/b][/color] Barrett celebrates his win, and demands the Intercontinental Championship from the referee. He is handed it and he taunts it to the crowd, obviously being a threat towards the gold now that he has taken out and pinned the champion within the past three weeks on Raw. Commercial BreakWorld Heavyweight Champion The Miz[/color] makes his way down to the ring with a grin and pats his World Title well doing so, as the crowd gives him massive boos. He gets into the ring and on the mic saying that last night it was not John Morrison who walked out with the World Heavyweight Championship, and he has let down all of his fans once again! He also mocks that he also failed to qualify for the Championship Scramble at Night of Champions, and it feels good to not have to deal with a 'pathetic excuse for a wrestler' like John Morrison anymore. He adjusts the World Title and says he has conquered John Cena, he has conquered John Morrison, and he will conquer all four of his challengers at Night of Champions whoever they may be. He says it doesn't matter if he has to face John Cena again, Shawn Michaels, it doesn't even matter if he has to face the entire Raw roster he will walk out the World Heavyweight Champion every single night he puts it on the line. The crowd boo as Miz goes on saying that the 'era of awesomeness' still reigns over the WWE Universe and he plans on it staying that way for a very long time, with nobody to stop him but himself! He chuckles, saying that the problem is nobody but himself controls his abilities and good looks amongst other things and therefore, he will remain the World Heavyweight Champion here on Raw for good! As the crowd continue to boo he explains that it's because he's The Miz and he's awesome. He raises the World Title high above his head. Commercial BreakChampionship Scramble QualifierBatista[/color] vs Shawn Michaels[/color] The bell rings as both men circle around the ring before locking up. Batista corners HBK and hits a few hard elbows and knees, HBK soon tossing him to the same position and chopping him. Throughout the opening minutes, basic back and forth action continues to take place and the two soon engage in signature moves. As Michaels hits his signature elbow drop and begins tuning up the band, however, The Legacy begin to walk down towards the ring. Michaels gets distracted by them, leading to Batista spearing him as he regains his attention, and Batista takes the pinfall. Winner of the match: Batista (9:52) ***[/b][/color] The arena boos as Batista exits the ring, walking up the ramp laughing. The Legacy then hop into the ring and circle around Michaels, who gets up in question of why they cost him the match. Joe and Brett grab hold of his arms quickly as Rhodes kicks him in the gut and proceeds to hit the Cross Rhodes. He rises back to his feet right after, The Legacy raising each others arms as they stand over HBK. Commercial BreakChampionship Scramble QualifierMatt Hardy[/color] vs Ted DiBiase[/color] As soon as the bell rings, Hardy pounces onto DiBiase and unloads with strikes. DiBiase fights back though and they get into some sort of a brawl within the opening minutes. Hardy tries multiple times to finish the match early, but DiBiase continues kicking out and reversing the moves. DiBiase proceeds with lots of nice moves, getting near falls on Hardy. As the pace picks up, DiBiase pulls out of the Twist of Fate, hitting the Dream Street and getting the pin. Winner of the match: Ted DiBiase (7:25) ***[/b][/color] DiBiase exits the ring in celebration. He eventually gets backstage as Hardy stays in the ring, getting up angry. He gets on the mic and yells at the crowd to shut up, because he has something to say. He says it has been loss after loss for him and he is fed up with it. He says well his brother, off in bigger and better things throughout his last couple years in the WWE he remained in the dust and he still is today. He asks what it will take for the support Jeff got from the fans, what will it take for Matt Hardy to step out of the shadows? He says that last night, Christian stepped up to the plate and stepped out of his brothers shadows but he is nowhere near that point. The crowd don't know how to react, so they stay silent. Hardy looks into the camera and says things are going to change, things are going to change for the good of Matt Hardy and nobody else. He slams the microphone to the mat and steps out of the ring. Commercial BreakA promo video plays, hyping Smackdown's return to Thursday next week in a special edition featuring superstars past and present on it. Diva's Championship Contention Tournament MatchEve Torres[/color] w/Shad Gaspard and Jayson Paul vs Gail Kim[/color] The bell rings, Eve looking to show something within her alliance to prove to Mr. McMahon they aren't worthless. She hits a few hard shots and takes Eve down with some decent slams, but Kim uses her experience to fire back, hitting tons of hurricanranas and kicks. As Eve comes running at her, Kim manages to hit a flapjack as well - Eve seeming to land a bit wrong on her face. Kim then hits the Eat Defeat and takes home the victory right after. Winner of the match: Gail Kim (5:19) **[/b][/color] Kim celebrates her victory, but Layla comes walking down to the ring. Kim asks what she is doing as Diva's Champion Michelle McCool gets in the ring behind her, hitting her with the title as she turns around. The crowd begin to cheer however, as Serena Mancini rushes down to the ring and takes Layla out with a clothesline. She gets in the ring, going after McCool, but she escapes just barely. Commercial BreakWe cut backstage as Josh Mathews introduces his guest at this time to be John Cena. He asks his thoughts on Batista's unreasonable attack last night. Cena says it was damn right unreasonable, he had absolutely no reason to do that. Cena says sure, 2 weeks ago he gave him the Attitude Adjustment and allowed Evan Bourne to pin him, but what reason is that? Cena says that is the only reason he can think of why he would even do that - but it still makes no sense to him. He says he wants answers from Batista, and he doesn't care when he gets them - but he wants them. He says other then that, he's going to win his qualifier tonight. After he says that, Batista suddenly clotheslines him from behind. He drags Cena up and tosses him into the nearby equipment. He tells Cena it is reasonable why he is doing this: because it is time somebody silenced John Cena for good! He stomps him in the ribs and sarcastically wishes him luck in his qualifier tonight. He walks off laughing as Mathews hurries over and asks John if he is okay. We cut to Teddy Long's office as he has Shelton Benjamin, Kaval, Mark Henry, Kenny Omega, and Yoshi Tatsu standing in front of him. He says he wants to welcome them to Raw officially. He says though there were some differences last night, he is sure they are mature enough to put that all behind them. Omega says he is glad ECW closed - with some help from him. Benjamin tells him to shut up and calls him a punk, Kaval also joining in and saying that ECW didn't deserve it. Long tells them to quiet down, as they have their own personal views, and they need to keep it personal because it is all said and done. Henry says he was a part of ECW, and asks why Ezekiel Jackson got a Championship Scramble Qualifier and not him. The rest of them begin to ask the same thing and Long states that it was not his decision to give him the opportunity and asks them all to now leave his office, saying he'll see them all next week. Commercial BreakChampionship Scramble QualifierChris Jericho[/color] vs John Cena[/color] The bell rings as Cena is holding his ribs from Batista's attack just a few moments ago. Jericho works on them with stomps each time he takes Cena down in the first five minutes, but Cena fights back. He ducks a clothesline and hits the one handed bulldog, rising up and hitting the Five Knuckle Shuffle. As he goes for the Attitude Adjustment, Jericho manages to slip off and hit the Codebreaker on the turn. He only gets a near fall, however, and he is in disbelief. Commercial BreakReturning, Jericho is working on Cena in the corner with strikes. Highlights before the commercial are shown with Jericho throwing Cena into the steel steps. Cena ducks a shot suddenly, however, and hits the Attitude Adjustment. He hooks the leg but Jericho finds some way to kick out. They both get up slowly, sending shots back and forth until Jericho suddenly going for the Codebreaker. Cena grabs both legs however, and drops him to the mat. He turns him over and quickly locks in the STF - Jericho scrambling his hands around in attempt to get free. However, he can't, and he taps out. Winner of the match: John Cena (13:40) ****[/b][/color] Cena gets his hand raised as he still holds his ribs. Batista comes running down to the ring though, and Cena notices him, avoiding the spear attempt as he charges. He hits some strikes until Batista quickly drops him with the spinebuster. Ted DiBiase rushes down to the ring for the save, and he trades blows with Batista. Ezekiel Jackson then makes his way down to the ring as well to join in, and he is struck at by DiBiase well Cena is back combating against Batista. As they continue to do so, The Miz struts out to the top of the ramp with a grin of satisfaction as his challengers assault one another. A final shot of the brawl is shown and then to Miz as he raises the World Heavyweight Championship well the show fades to a close.[/font][/center] |
