Singles Match
John Cena def. Ted DiBiase

Cena came to the ring first to an incredible reaction from his hometown crowd. Ted DiBiase came out next to the exact opposite of that. The match was pretty much a copy of their match at SummerSlam. Nothing was really different except for the fact that Ezekiel Jackson was allowed at ringside this time. Cena was in full control, but the tables soon turned after Ted hit Cena with a low blow. From then on, the match was all DiBiase. In the end he was getting ready to lock Cena in the Million Dollar Dream. However, WWE Champion Chris Jericho came running down the entrance ramp. He clocked Jackson in the back of the head with his title belt. DiBiase soon turned his attention to Jericho, who walked back up the entrance ramp. DiBiase put his attention back on Cena, but it was too late as he found himself on Cena's shoulders and was soon dropped with an Attitude Adjustment. Cena got the cover to get the win.

Jericho had a smile on his face after the referee counted three. He got a bit of revenge against Ted for his actions last week. Cena went into the crowd to celebrate with the fans, his friends, and his family. He has now gotten revenge for his loss at SummerSlam.

The three remaining NXT rookies (Kaval, Alex Riley, and Michael McGillicuty) are shown in their locker rooms preparing for their final match at NXT rookies. The 30 Minute Ironman match will begin at the top of the second hour.

In the end, Maryse claimed that she needed to catch her breath, so she backed up into a corner. Melina immediately charged at her. She got on the second rope and began striking Maryse. Soon, Maryse was able to powerbomb Melina off of her. Maryse then covered her with her feet on the ropes to get the win.

Maryse took her title and laughed as Melina had a furious look on her face. Nonetheless, Maryse managed to prove her doubters wrong by retaining the Divas Championship against Melina.

Kingston soon fought back though and was able to hit the Boom Drop. After that, Kingston was getting ready to hit Trouble In Paradise. Rhodes ducked the attempt though. Rhodes then rolled Kingston up with a handful of tights to steal the victory and the briefcase.

The two stared each other and their briefcases for a bit before continuing on with their business. Abraham Washington soon asked DiBiase to come into his office. Washington told DiBiase that his actions last week against Chris Jericho were way out of line and punishment is in order. DiBiase asked what the punishment would be. Washington said that a suspension is in order. DiBiase was now furious and told Washington that he can't suspend the number one superstar on Raw. Washington said that he's not suspending Ted. DiBiase than told Washington that he can't be thinking about suspending Ezekiel. Washington said that Ezekiel is not the one being suspended. DiBiase was now confused and asked who was being suspended. Washington said that Ted's briefcase would be suspended. Ted was now furious. Washington said that for the next 35 days Ted will not be allowed to cash in his briefcase.

30 Minute Ironman Match
Alex Riley (2 falls) def. Kaval (1 fall) and Michael McGillicuty (1 fall)

An extremely competitive first hour main event here. All three of these rookies knew that this was their last chance to shine before the season finale.

As Rey was getting to his feet, Drew locked his arms in position for the Future Shock. Drew planted Rey with it to get the victory for Raw.

Drew celebrated his victory. It seemed that he used this match to prepare for his title defense against Evan Bourne at Night Of Champions, seeing as how both Rey and Evan are small in stature. While Rey was getting up, Cody Rhodes hit the ring with his newly won Money In The Bank briefcase and leveled Rey in the head with it. Rhodes took Rey's Intercontinental Title belt and held that along with the briefcase high in the air.

While the Brothers Of Destruction posed in the ring, Vince and Swagger came out to the stage. Taker took a microphone and said that since The Dudebusters have been taken care of, he and Kane have their sights set on Swagger and Vince. Vince said that Taker and Kane can say everything that they want, but in the end they're just going to face the fate that everybody faces when they cross the boss. They're going to get screwed.

A fine match here that could've gone either way honestly. Sheamus and Barrett used their strength as their weapon and it proved to be very effective. The momentum was traded back and forth several times throughout the match. Tyson Kidd was thrown around most of the time here since his opponents were two behemoths. Smith was able to provide good competition for them though. Kidd was soon tagged in and went for a springboard clothesline on Barrett. Wade moved out of the way though and Kidd hit the referee. The two teams continued to have a fair battle despite the referee being out. Sheamus soon grew tired of the fair fight and brought one of the title belts into play. He swung it at Smith's head, but he was able to duck it and kick Sheamus in the mid section. Kidd was on the ring apron now. Barrett tried to pull him down, but Smith took care of him. Kidd then springboarded off of the top rope and came down with a bulldog on Sheamus. Sheamus' face connected with the title belt that was dropped. However, the referee was conscious enough to witness this and called for the bell.

Miz got the cover, but Jericho was able to place his foot on the bottom rope. Miz brought Jericho to his feet and irish whipped him into the ropes. Jericho went behind The Miz though. Jericho turned him around and hit him with a Codebreaker. Jericho got the cover, but R Truth came down to ringside and pulled the referee out. Jericho could not believe Truth's actions. Randy Orton now came down to take Truth out. Their brawl eventually ended up in the backstage area. The referee had his focus on stopping that brawl. Because of that, Ted DiBiase came into the ring from the crowd. He took the WWE Title belt and nailed Jericho in the skull with it. He quickly left the scene. Miz soon draped his arm over Jericho as the referee counted three. The unthinkable just happened.

The crowd and announcers were in shock at this. Miz was handed the WWE Title and cried tears of joy. He celebrated with the title as Ted DiBiase was shown in the audience with a huge smile on his face. Miz continued his celebration as Raw went off the air. History has been made tonight on Raw 900. The WWE Championship is now awesome.

A video package is shown recapping season 2 of NXT and the eliminations that have led up to this night.

Ashley Valance is shown on the stage with all of the pros except for The Miz. She says that she will be hosting the show tonight since Matt Striker has a match tonight with Husky Harris. While she is welcoming everyone to the season finale of NXT, "I Came To Play" hits as the new WWE Champion comes to the stage. Ashley tells him that he can't interrupt the finale like that. Miz tells her, all of the pros, and the entire WWE Universe to look at what's on his shoulder. The WWE Championship. Therefore he doesn't need anybody below him telling him what to do. Ashley tells him to take a seat. He grabs one of the empty chairs and moves it to the other side of the stage away from the rest of the pros. He says that failure is contagious and he doesn't want to catch it. The three remaining rookies are now introduced. Kaval, Michael McGillicuty, and the winner of the Ironman match, Alex Riley. After they get in the ring, Ashley tells them that they should all be congratulated on making it to the season finale. However, only one of them can win, and the first elimination will happen right now.

#1. Alex Riley
#2. Michael Mcgillicuty
#3. Kaval [Eliminated]


Kaval and LayCool look very disappointed. He says that he's not going to show his bad side tonight, but instead thanks the WWE for giving him this opportunity and thanks the WWE Universe for giving him the chance to do what he loves to do. He gets a standing ovation before leaving. After he leaves, Alex Riley and Michael McGillicuty are left standing in the middle of the ring. Ashley tells the two of them that they have made it to the final two and tonight, one of them will win a WWE contract and a title match on pay per view.

This battle royal featured the eliminated rookies from NXT season 1 and season 2 who are still not under contract. The first person to go out here was Michael Tarver, who threw a huge fit after. Darren Young and Percy Watson were both thrown out by Eli Cottonwood. It took everybody in the match to take Cottonwood out. Titus O' Neil was soon tossed out by David Otunga, who looked very dominate in this match. We were now down to three. Lucky Cannon, Heath Slater, and David Otunga. Slater was tossed out by Otunga very soon. When it came down to Otunga and Cannon, the two of them went at it in a very competitive contest. While Cannon was groggy on the ropes, Otunga charged at him. Cannon pulled down the ropes and Otunga was sent outside of the ring.

Cannon celebrated his win as Otunga threw a huge fit. He could not believe that he lost. Cannon's win here may spark some interest in one of the two GM's.

Watson said that he had the match won, but Cottonwood to get in his business and throw him out. Young said that Cottonwood eliminated him too.

Watson said that he has an idea.

Special Challenge
Husky Harris def. Matt Striker

Striker was still in good shape here and showed that he can still go. More than anybody, especially Harris, thought. That didn't mean that he got a free ride here here. Harris came at him hard. Striker saw first hand that Harris is truly the Tank with the Ferrari engine. It was shown at the end of the match when Striker went for crossbody off the top rope. Harris moved out of the way and Striker crashed to the mat. Harris then came down on Striker with his Running Senton. Harris got the cover to take home the win.

After the match was over, Harris hit another Running Senton on Striker. Followed by two more. Officials soon came down to check on Striker as Harris headed to the back to a lot of heat from the audience.

Riley says he should win because he was made for this business. McGillicuty said that he should win because he needs to continue the Hennig family legacy.

McGillicuty jumps up with excitement. Alex Riley on the other hand is in complete shock. The Miz sports the same look. Ashley announces that Michael McGillicuty has won NXT season 2. The rest of the Pros clap. The Miz asks for a microphone, but he is never given one. When Ashley Valance asks Riley how he feels about coming in 2nd place, he throws a tantrum and asks how it's possible for him to lose when he won the Ironman match on Raw. Ashley says that after The Miz's behavior at the beginning of the show, all of the Pros decided to vote against Riley. And in the WWE Universe poll. McGillicuty's number of votes exceeded his. Miz and Riley both continued their tantrums despite not having a microphone in their hands. McGillicuty says that it was obvious from the beginning that he would be the WWE's next breakout star. He says that he knows that he and Kingston didn't get along this season but he still wants to thank him for tolerating him. He then says that with his title shot on pay per view, nobody will be able to stop him. And he will be the face of SmackDown. Ashley announces one last time that Michael McGillicuty is the winner of NXT season 2. He continues his celebration as NXT goes off the air.
