WWE Monday Night RAW l May 31st, 2010 l Austin, TX

-A promo hypes last week's RAW featuring CM Punk, Randy Orton, and Kane all qualifing for the WWE Championship Fatal Four Way Match as well as Jeff Hardy turning on his brother, Matt Hardy.

-The pyrotechnics blast out of the arena live in the Bat City, Austin, TX. Michael Cole and Jerry "The King" Lawler welcome us live to Monday Night RAW. They hype tonight's Viewer's Choice program where the fans can decide any match they want.

"No More Words" hits for the first time in almost a year. Jeff Hardy comes out and does his unorthodox arm gestures and stuff. He gets a mixed reaction. Jeff Hardy takes a mic. Hardy says that he knows the fans want an explanation for him betraying Matt Hardy last week on RAW. Jeff says that he doesn't owe anyone an explanation. But since he's so generous he'll give these "wannabes" an explanation. Hardy tells the fans to think back at Royal Rumble 2009 when Matt Hardy turned on him. They feuded for a while and then it ended. Then, around the time he left, he also forgave Matt Hardy. Jeff says Matt Hardy cost him many things in life and he's absolutely sick of it. Jeff Hardy says he finally snapped and is going for revenge on Matt. Matt comes out to the ring. Matt says that Jeff is just holding a grudge. Matt admits he held a grudge and got tired of people saying Jeff was better and did something about it. But the demons got to him and he said he was sorry. Jeff claims he's not sorry for any of this. Especially this. Jeff Hardy comes at Matt Hardy tackling him to the mat. Matt manages to break off and they made their way to their feet. Matt ducks a punch from Jeff and goes to hit a Twist of Fate but Hardy pushes off and leaves up the ramp. Matt Hardy taunts as we head to commercial.

Commercial Break
--------------------

-Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler show us what just occured between the Hardys. This time, Jeff betrayed his brother though and the bad blood keeps on boiling.

-CM Punk comes to the ring. Punk says that he asks that ask we just seen, The Hardy Boys have broken up. *imitates cry.* Punk says that's what the non-Straight Edge lifestyle does to you. Punk says that he's not going to beg anyone to be in SES. But it'll help your life. CM Punk goes to welcome SES's newest member, Rey Mysterio! But Mysterio doesn't come. Matt Striker says we have to get on with the show and now, it's time to see who will face CM Punk.

-Santino Marella: 27% -Mark Henry: 19% -Rey Mysterio: 54%

[/b][/color][/td][/tr][/table][/center]

-Rey Mysterio defeated. CM Punk 12:19

This match was a rematch from WrestleMania, Extreme Rules, and Over The Limit. Punk won 2/3 of those so Mysterio got a little bit of retribution here in yet another classic battle from these two great stars. Mysterio got some of his high-flying moves before going springboard and CM Punk hit him with a mid-air stiff kick. Punk took advantage with some heel-tactics for a bit before going for the Go 2 Sleep and Gallows got on the apron. Mysterio hit a hurricanrana in the middle of it and hit a 619 on Punk and Gallows. Serena distracted Mysterio and that gave Punk time to run at Mysterio and headbutt him on the apron. Punk went to hit the Go 2 Sleep but Mysterio hit an amazing arm-hooked crucifix pin for the pin-fall.

-Rey Mysterio got on all fours before jumping up on his huge win. Gallows tried to run at him but Mysterio held the ropes down and he fell. Mysterio heads up the ramp with Punk looking on angrily.



-A promo hypes WWE King of the Ring 2010 which is next week live on RAW.

-We come back to see William Regal. Regal says that as everyone just seen, King of the Ring is next week. Regal says that he's going to do something that the mediocre San Antonio Spurs couldn't do. That's win two back to back King of the Ring titles. He gets some cheap heat for that. Regal says that can boo all they want but they know it's true. Regal leaves as we head to the arena.

-We return to see Matt Striker. He says that now, it's time to determine a new #1 Contender for the Divas Championship. Melina vs. Natalya to settle last week's draw. Here are the match types.

-Natalya defeated. Melina in a Swimsuit Spectacular Lumberjill Match to become #1 Contender for the Divas Championship 5:04

The fans picked a very entertaining match here as we seen all the RAW divas in their swimsuit at ringside and in the ring. Natalya and Melina went back and forth for a while but as Natalya was on the top rope, Jillian would distract her which allowed Maryse to hit a French DDT on Melina and roll out. Natalya tried to tell the referee but to no avail. Natalya reluctantly pinned Melina for the 1.2.3.

-Natalya got up not seeming satisfied with her win at all. Natalya pointed at Maryse before motioning for the Divas Championship and helping Melina to her feet.

-Backstage, we see Kane looking at someone but the camera won't reveal. Kane tells this guy he better hope that the viewers don't pick him as the opponent because if so, he won't make it to Fatal Four Way.



-Matt Striker says that now, it's time to find out who Yoshi Tatsu and Goldust are to face. It'll be Dolph Ziggler and.............

[/color][/b][/td][/tr][/table][/center]

-The Miz and Dolph Ziggler defeated. Yoshi Tatsu and Goldust 6:37

Decent matchup here. Miz and Ziggler got along perfectly as if they were a real team. Miz and Tatsu went at it for a good back and forth time before Tatsu tagged in the "Bizarre One" Goldust was on fire. He went to hit the falling uppercut but Ziggler had it scouted and hit a jumping elbow and then a Zig-Zag for the win.

-The Miz and Dolph Ziggler celebrate their win. They head backstage as we fade to a graphic.

-Michael Cole and Jerry "The King" Lawler tell us the confrontation between general managers is over and tonight, our main event is, World Heavyweight Champion Edge and three SmackDown partners take on WWE Champion Batista and three RAW partners. And the voting is still availible on WWE.com.



-Backstage, we see Matt Hardy talking with Maria. Matt claims he doesn't know what to do with someone *most likely Jeff* Maria leaves and then suddenly, Jeff Hardy comes and attacks Matt Hardy with a tackle and some lefts and rights as well as throwing him into the locker room lockers and dressers and stuff. Some of the superstars break it up. They assist Matt Hardy out before Jeff pushes them off and is back in pursuit of Matt.

-Lawler and Cole tell us they'll keep us updated on some of the footage between The Hardy Bros and their break-up right now because now, it's time for another match.

-Striker says that right now, on the titantron, you can see, Ted DiBiase, Jack Swagger, Shelton Benjamin, Kofi Kingston, Big Show, and Ezekiel Jackson. Here are the stipulations.

-Ted DiBiase wins a 6 Man Battle Royal (Participants: Kofi Kingston, Ezekiel Jackson, Shelton Benjamin, Jack Swagger, and Big Show) 6:23

Everyone seemed shocked that Ted DiBiase won but he remained opportunistic throughout the whole match. It seemed Big Show had eliminated him with a Knockout Punch and he slid under the bottom rope and hadn't been seen for a while so we all assumed he was eliminated. Big Show threw Big Zeke' out and Zeke came back in and tried to eliminate Big Show. The distraction allowed Benjamin to jump high and lock in a sleeper and Show fell forward and they both fell out of the ring. Jackson stomped on Show. Kofi and Swagger battled it out for a bit before Swagger went to hit the Gutwrench Powerbomb but Kofi went to skin the cat. Ted DiBiase came back in and flipped them both over the rope to win.

-Ted DiBiase celebrates his win as Kofi and Swagger look at each other confused on the outside before we head to the graphic once again.

-Coming up next, we have MVP and Evan Bourne vs. Drew McIntyre and United States Champion Zack Ryder!



-Lawler and Cole show us the matches the fans picked already. They've picked some great matches so far and we still are far from over.

-Matt Striker asks the WWE Universe what type of match the tag match should be?

-M.V.P and Evan Bourne defeated. United States Champion Zack Ryder and Intercontinental Champion Drew McIntyre 5:59

Just under six minutes gave these four great athletes enough time to put on a good match. Bourne was once again hell bent on destroying Ryder and he managed to get in lots of offense on Ryder as these two kicked off the match. But a blind tag was made as Bourne was going for an Air Bourne. McIntyre ran at Bourne and Bourne kicked him off the apron and Ryder made a huge leap and hit a superplex off the turnbuckle which gave them momentum. M.V.P would come in firing on all cylinders. M.V.P went to hit the Player's Boot but Ryder ducked and MVP booted McIntyre. Ryder went to hit a Zack Attack but M.V.P held the ropes and got the school-boy to win.

-MVP and Evan Bourne celebrate their win over their respective rivals and two matches we will see at Over The Limit. It's bound to be great. McIntyre and Ryder attack from behind. Suddenly, Hart Dynasty makes the save. We head backstage.

-Backstage, we see Bret Hart on the phone. Bret says he doesn't care about something. Bret looks a bit annoyed before saying OK and bye. Santino comes in and says that last week wasn't fair because he was put in the ring with that demented monster Kane. Bret says Santino said he wanted a shot at the top dog and he got his shot. Santino Marella says that Bret will hear from his lawyers as RAW heads to commercial.



-We come back to see Matt Striker who reveals the three RAW and SmackDown team members.

Team SmackDown:

Team RAW:

[/color] (World Heavyweight Champion Edge, John Cena, John Morrison, and Chris Jericho) defeated. Team RAW (WWE Champion Batista, Kane, Randy Orton, and Sheamus) 14:19[/center] Thrilling main event here full of the biggest stars in WWE. World Champions, Edge and Batista kicked us off here. Both having the ability to have good matches, they showed us here. Batista tried to hit a Spear but Edge dodged and hit an Edge ''O' Matic. Edge slapped Cena which was a tag. Cena, even as a heel now, looked anxious to destroy the person who screwed him out of the title. Cena whipped Batista to the ropes and got some lefts and rights to the gut and then a foot choke. Cena was relentless on revenge on Batista and got a mixed reaction for it. Cena tagged in Morrison you put his two cents of great athleticism in with some high flying aerial moves. Morrison tagged in Jericho who pulled off some of his dirty kicks and questionable tactics, Chris Jericho went off the ropes to hit a Lionsault but Sheamus kicked the ropes and Jericho crashed and burned. Batista took advantage with some of his moves here. Sheamus came in and hit his side slam, and a big boot before tagging in Kane who knocked Morrison and Cena off the turnbuckle. Edge came in and gave him a Spear. The referee had to turn his back. A huge war unfolded on the outside. The referee tried to unscramble this. Edge tagged in Cena who drilled Randy Orton with brass knuckles after he gave RKOs to 2 thirds of the SmackDown squad. The referee turned around after and Cena gave him an F-U to win.

-The SmackDown soon realized and started celebrating as the RAW squad headed up the ramp. Team SD! soon realized that 3 forths of the people in this match would be in the same match at Fatal Four Way. Cena drilled Edge in the back of the head with brass knuckles. Jericho managed to trip up Cena and lock in the Walls of Jericho while in the middle of it, Morrison hit the Enziguri. Team RAW also went at it on the ramp with Kane chokeslamming Sheamus and Orton then hitting the RKO on Kane. Morrison hit the Starship Pain on all three of them. Morrison stands tall over his SD! Opponents and Orton over his RAW opponents to end this very contreversial night.[/font]

I love the feud between the Hardy Boys and you can do a lot with this feud. Mysterio defeating Punk sucks, as I think Punk should win more matches, which would allow him to become a monster heel and make his loses more meaningful. I always liked the idea of Ziggler and the Miz teaming; they would work out well together. Ted DiBiase winning the battle royal is good in my eyes. Tornado Tag matches are something that should be used more often – I think that is such a good, simple stipulation. I would have liked for the champions to win the match though. The main event was great, and team Smackdown winning came as a shock, but a good shock.

Liked the added "viewers choice" stip to the show. Hardy vs Hardy is cool, and I like the idea of Jeff as a heel. The main event was nice. It had a good ending to the match and cool post match acivity. Glad that Ryder, Bourne, and MVP are getting pushes. Wouldnt mind seeing MVP turn heel sometime.

Great to see this diary back. Can't wait to see what you have in store.

He says it's probably the motivation and confidence of knowing he's going to retain the World Heavyweight Championship at Fatal Four Way. Edge says that none of those guys can't stop him. Edge reminds them that he is the "Ultimate Opportunist" and the "Master Manipulator" and will strike at any time. Edge says he has wins over all of those superstars and he knows that none of them could beat him on their best day.

And they will enjoy it even more when he defeats Kofi Kingston. Kofi comes out the ring. Kofi says that he hopes the Kofi that Jericho was claiming he was going to defeat was him because he has plans on kicking Jericho's head off. Jericho begs him to do it. Kofi and Jericho exchange words as well as a staredown. Jericho drills Kofi with a microphone. Jericho steps back and runs to Kofi for the Codebreaker but Kofi hits a 360 and levels Jericho to the outside with a Trouble in Paradise.

-World Heavyweight Champion Edge defeated. Jack Swagger (Non Title) 13:11

This was a great way to end SmackDown here. Edge was on his game hitting some major moves to kick off things with the reverse DDT, big boot, flapjack, and the half nelson bulldog. Swagger managed to hit his own fair share of moves including the amateur style grapples, a hard running knee lift, slingshot corner splash, and a Gutwrench Powerbomb. Swagger threw a fit when Edge kicked out. Swagger wenf for another one but Edge broke loose and hit an Edgecution following the Spear for the win.

Morrison then hits the Starship Pain on all his opponents. Morrison stands tall holding the World Heavyweight Championship to end SmackDown. Could this be the image at Fatal Four Way? Good night.

-Great opening promo right there
-Kim retaining was probably the right call
-Shelton winning is very fine with me
-Great to see JoMo get that victory. Some momentum for him
-Solid Jericho/Kofi segment, especially with Kofi getting the upperhand
-McIntyre and Miz winning is alright with me.
-Edge winning is great. Gives him some momentum as well. Every man from the F4W with John Morrison standing tall is a great way to end that show.
Overall, good smackdown

To start off, Good promo from Edge, he really proved his point there. Gail Kim retaining is good. Benjamin winning is awesome. John Morrison over Cena? I didn't really like that though, and was surprised it happened
Nice segment with Kofi and Jericho. Kofi getting the upperhand is nice. Their match at F4W should be a classic. McIntyre & Miz winning is awesome. Can't wait for Drew/MVP at F4w, although it would be cool to see a four way with all of these guys instead of two separate matches. Edge defeating Swagger is good. Good SmackDown, and a nice read.
