Monday Night Raw July 12, 2010 | Lexington, KY | Party Crashed ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ WWE Superstars 7/15 Taping Results Evan Bourne def. Zack Ryder R-Truth def. David Otunga ________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A video package opened tonight's show recapping the events the previous week with Randy Orton and the debuting Alberto Del Rio. A confrontation led to a match between the two. Shockingly, Del Rio forced Orton to submit and pick up a win over the No.1 Contender. Del Rio locked Orton in his Cross Arm-breaker once again as Edge climbed to the top of a ladder and held the WWE Championship, sending a message to his challenger for The Bash.
In the arena, the ring was set up with balloons, a mariachi, and a pinata of what appeared to be a snake. Justin Roberts introduced a man named Ricardo Rodriguez, who introduced the man that the WWE Universe has been talking about ever since last week, Alberto Del Rio. The Mexican Aristocrat arrived in a Bentley, which Michael Cole claimed to be priced at $190,000. Del Rio grabbed a microphone and said that this celebration is missing one thing. As he said that, a picture of Orton submitting to his Cross Arm-breaker appeared on the titantron. 'Muchas gracias' said Del Rio. Last week, he made his long awaited debut, and he did so by confronting the WWE Universe's favorite superstar, Randy Orton. And what did he do? Ricardo Rodriguez handed Del Rio a stick, which he used to decapitate the snake pinata. Del Rio then said that he cut the head off of The Viper. Suddenly, the theme of Edge hit as the WWE Champion made his way down to the ring. He congratulated Del Rio on a successful debut last week, and thanked him for what he did to Orton because there is no way he will be 100% come The Bash. The two shook hands, but Del Rio didn't let go. He told Edge that if he feels that he did a good job, then maybe there should a be a reward for him. Del Rio said that he wants a shot at the WWE Championship and he wants it tonight. Edge told Del Rio that he doesn't know how things work over in Mexico, but when you have a Ladder Match for the richest prize in the business in just 6 days, you get the night off. As Edge was about to leave the ring, Raw GM Chris Jericho came out to the stage. He said that he agrees with both things both men have said. He does feel that Edge deserves the night off and that Del Rio should get a championship match. However, he got a call last week from Mr. McMahon and he will be paying him a visit sometime soon. Therefore, he can't afford to make Vince anymore upset then he already is. So neither of those two things will happen tonight. Instead, Edge and Del Rio will team up to take on John Cena and Randy Orton. Jericho apologized to both men, but stated that this is something he needs to do. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Returning to the arena, Michael Cole and Jerry "The King" Lawler welcomed everybody to Monday Night Raw and quickly recapped Jericho's announcement at the beginning of the show and the main event scheduled for tonight as the WWE Champion Edge and Alberto Del Rio will take on Randy Orton and John Cena. Speaking of Cena, tonight could very well be his last night on Raw as he will meet Sheamus this Sunday in a Loser Leaves Raw Match.
Sheamus def. United States Champion John Morrison After Morrison springboarded off of the top rope, he was caught with a vicious Brogue Kick from the Celtic Warrior, leading to the victory for Sheamus
Sheamus grabbed a mic following the match and told the audience that despite what they may think, he will still be around after this Sunday. As for John Cena, they better make sure they get a good look at him tonight because it's the last chance they will get. Sheamus left the ring to a good amount of heat.
Backstage, Chris Jericho was shown in his office with his head on his desk. He said to himself that he doesn't know what to do. His assistant, April Lee, walked in and told him that Riley is ready. Jericho got up from his chair and made his way towards the ring with April. Before the commercial break, Jerry Lawler quickly asked "Who's Riley?" ________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Returning from the break, Chris Jericho and April Lee were shown in the ring. Jericho said that this week has been the worst of his life. He has had an additional 2 workers quit on him, and he is now paranoid as he doesn't when Mr. McMahon will visit him or what he wants. But one good thing has come out of this week. Over the weekend, he and April were able to seal a deal with the hottest free agent in wrestling. Jericho then introduced to the WWE Universe a man whom he considers to be the future of the industry, Alex Riley.
Alex Riley def. Yoshi Tatsu Riley was able to back up Jericho's statements on him as he ran through Yoshi before finishing him off with an Impaler DDT
Backstage, a truck was shown backing into the arena as two workers hauling a box off of it. Cameras backed up a bit as we saw The Miz ordering the two men to handle it with care. Josh Mathews asked The Miz what the two workers were carrying. Miz told Mathews that he is going to have to wait just like everybody else. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Returning to the arena, "I Came To Play" blasted as The Miz made his way down to the ring. A portrait was shown in the ring with a black towel draped over it. He said that in order for him to explain what is in the ring, he needs to take everybody back a bit. In 2004, he was chosen to be a part of Tough Enough. He placed 2nd in the competition, but was given a contract despite that. Upon coming into the WWE, he was treated miserably. Nobody wanted him here. They all told him that he would never make it. He had to put up with crap from guys like John Bradshaw Layfield. He wasn't allowed in the locker rooms and was forced to find somewhere else to change, shower, and use the restroom. But he never gave up. He dealt with it and has since become a 3 time WWE Tag Team Champion, a former United States Champion, and a 2 time Slammy Award Winner. He walked over to the portrait and pulled off the black cover, revealing the cover of the August edition of WWE Magazine. He is on the cover. Not John Cena, not Randy Orton, not Rey Mysterio, him. Miz stated that he has made it. And he gives no credit to anybody else. Not to any of the superstars and not to any of the fans. He is the sole reason why he is the present and future of the WWE. And this Sunday, he will make a believer out of Daniel Bryan. As Miz was preparing to say his 'Awesome' catchphrase, Daniel Bryan hit the ring and took Miz down, locking him in the LeBell Lock. Bryan let go after a few seconds. He then looked at the portrait as Miz was stirring. When Miz turned around, Bryan smashed the portrait into Miz's head. The portrait was wrapped around Miz's neck as he layed motionless on the canvas. The audience roared in excitement as Bryan stood tall over his opponent this Sunday at The Bash.
Backstage, The Usos and Tamina were shown walking down a corridor. Jey shouted that it's time for them bring some gold back to the family. Their tag team championship match with The Hart Dynasty is up next. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Backstage, Chris Jericho and Alex Riley were shown helping The Miz into Jericho's office. They sat Miz down on a chair and asked if he needed anything. He asked for his portrait and a bag of ice. Jericho went to get the portrait while April went to get the bag of ice. After both of them left, Riley asked Miz if there was anything he could do for him. Miz yelled at Riley to get out of his sight.
The Hart Dynasty def. The Usos to retain the WWE Tag Team Championships The defending champions scored the victory after hitting the Hart Attack on Jimmy Uso
A graphic was shown for tonight's main event - WWE Champion Edge and Alberto Del Rio vs. Randy Orton and John Cena. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A promo for this Friday's edition of SmackDown was shown. After not only being defeated by Jack Swagger, but also screwed out of the World Heavyweight Championship by Rey Mysterio, how will CM Punk react just 2 days before The Bash?
Melina def. Maryse to become the No.1 Contender for the Diva's Championship Melina was able to score the pinfall after hitting Maryse with the Primal Scream
Backstage, John Morrison was shown placing a medicine ball in a gym bag when Ted DiBiase walked in. He said that he hopes Sheamus knocked, or should he say kicked, some sense into Morrison and he now realizes that all he's doing is holding that United States Championship for him until Sunday. Morrison smiled and dropped the gym bag on Ted's foot. As he wrenched in pain, Morrison told him that he will see him Sunday.
Returning to the arena, Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler were shown in the ring as they ran down the Raw side of things for The Bash this Sunday. John Morrison defends the United States Championship against Ted DiBiase. The Miz faces his former rookie Daniel Bryan. John Cena and Sheamus battle it out in a Loser Leaves Raw Match. And finally, Edge defends the WWE Championship against Randy Orton in a Ladder Match. The Bash comes to you live this Sunday from the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Missouri and only on PPV. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Before the main event began, Justin Roberts announced that per order of Chris Jericho, this match is now No Disqualifications.
Randy Orton and John Cena def. WWE Champion Edge and Alberto Del Rio Towards the end of the match, Sheamus ran down to ringside and pulled Cena out of the ring as the two of them brawled all the way to the backstage area. Del Rio held Orton up as Edge prepared to Spear him. Orton was able to move out of the way and Edge took Del Rio instead. Upon turning around, Edge was dropped with and RKO. Orton covered the WWE champion to get the victory for his team
Orton celebrated his victory as he grabbed the WWE Championship and a ladder from underneath the ring. He set it up in the ring and climbed to the top where he held the title high above his head while looking down on both Edge and Alberto Del Rio.
Cameras caught up with Sheamus and John Cena as the two men battled in the backstage area. Sheamus low blowed Cena before tossing him into a wall. Sheamus then took a rolling crate and rammed it into Cena. Sheamus knelt down and told Cena to smile for the camera because it's the last time the WWE Universe will see him on Raw. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ © World Wrestling Entertainment 2010 |

Backstage, CM Punk walked into Vickie Guerrero's office to inform her that he will team with her boyfriend tonight, but if he becomes the No.1 Contender for SummerSlam, coming after him for the World Heavyweight Championship would be a huge mistake. Vickie told Punk that there's no question Dolph will win Christian's championship match, but Punk needs to worry about winning the World Championship because chances are he won't.
MVP def. JTG After weeks of tension, MVP was finally able to defeated his rival after a Drive-By kick
A pre-recorded interview with Big Show conducted by Matt Striker aired at this time. Show stated that the picture that Cody Rhodes ripped to shreds last week was the only picture he had of his father, who passed away a number of years ago. He kept the picture in his bag and many of the superstars were aware the picture's value and respected it. But Cody Rhodes didn't and that was the biggest mistake he could make. He said that it's one thing to piss of a giant, but to mess with his family is a whole different story. This whole rivalry started over a bottle of lotion, but Rhodes has made this personal and after Sunday, he will no longer be "Dashing".
Kane and Kofi Kingston def. Intercontinental Champion Wade Barrett and Drew McIntyre The Big Red Monster was able to gain a huge amount of momentum in this match as he finished off Wade Barrett with a Chokeslam, pinning his opponent for The Bash
SmackDown General Manager Teddy Long announced at this time that next week, we will see a very special live Tuesday edition of SmackDown from Little Rock, AR.
Cody Rhodes def. Finlay Arguably the most hated man in the WWE locker room right now, Cody Rhodes put Finlay away with Cross Rhodes to pick up the victory
Post match, Rhodes grabbed a microphone and apologized to Big Show. But not for ripping his family photo to shreds, but for the fact that he inherited his hideous looks from his father. Rhodes continued on, stating that he has an equalizer for The Bash, and they will see Show Sunday.

Rey Mysterio and Christian def. CM Punk and Dolph Ziggler In this blockbuster tag team main event, Rey Mysterio was able to pick up the victory for his team after hitting CM Punk with a 619 followed by a Springboard Splash and the cover
Following the match, Christian and Dolph Ziggler continued a brawl that spilled into the audience. As Rey stood tall in the ring, he was attacked by Jack Swagger, who dropped him with a Gutwrench Powerbomb. Swagger held the World Heavyweight Championship high above his head as he stood over the motionless bodies of his two opponents this Sunday at The Bash ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ © World Wrestling Entertainment, 2010 |

July 18, 2010 | Kansas City, MO | "Turn So Cold" - Drowning PoolDark Match: Kofi Kingston def. Drew McIntyreThe opening video package for tonight's event began with WWE Champion Edge describing his past experiences in Ladder Matches, using the words vicious, gruesome, and remorseless. We are then taken back to the edition of Raw where the Ladder Match between Edge and Randy Orton was made official, and everything that has happened between the two since, including the involvement of Alberto Del Rio. Tonight, only one man will be able to climb to the top of the ladder and retrieve the WWE Championship. Fireworks shot off in the Sprint Center as Drowning Pool's "Turn So Cold" blasted over the PA system. The commentary team of Michael Cole, Jerry "The King" Lawler, and Matt Striker welcomed everybody to The Bash. Tonight, both the WWE Championship and the World Heavyweight Championship will be defended in dangerous situations. Edge defends the WWE Championship against Randy Orton in a Ladder Match, while Jack Swagger puts the World Heavyweight Championship on the line in a Triple Threat Match against CM Punk and Rey Mysterio. Cole sent things over to Justin Roberts as we kicked things off with action from the Raw brand. Pro vs. Rookie The Miz vs. |
[/b] Daniel BryanThe Awesome One was out first to a nice amount of heat from the audience here in Kansas City. Daniel Bryan, who debuted a new red and sliver attire, received a very nice reception. The bell rang and Bryan delivered a few kicks to Miz's left leg. He backed into a corner and shouted at the referee to keep Bryan away from him. Order was restored and the two locked up. Miz put Bryan in a headlock, which Michael Cole stated that Bryan was probably put in this maneuver everyday in high school. Bryan pushed away from him and delivered a dropkick. He covered Miz, who quickly kicked out. Miz, clearly frustrated, delivered a knee to the mid section of Bryan and tossed him out of the ring through the second rope. Miz picked Bryan up and rammed his back into the barricade. He then tossed Bryan back into the ring and covered him, but only managed to gain a two count. Bryan crawled over to a corner, where Miz delivered repeated stomps. The referee forced him to back away. Bryan was able to get to his feet as Miz charged towards. Bryan did the same and connected with a clothesline onto Miz. Miz backed into a corner, which proved to be a mistake as Bryan charged at him and delivered a dropkick. With the wind knocked out of him, Miz rolled to the outside of the ring. Bryan, standing on the apron, waited for Miz to get to his feet before he hit him with a diving knee. As Bryan was tossing Miz back into the ring, Michael Cole stood up from his chair and heckled Bryan, telling him that he had no chance of winning. Bryan acted as if he was going to strike him, causing Cole to fall back into his chair. Bryan smiled and went back into the ring, getting a two count on Miz. Bryan picked Miz up and threw him into a corner, where he delivered several kicks to Miz's chest. Bryan finished the sequence with a higher kick to the side of Miz's face. Bryan placed Miz on the top turnbuckle and went for a superplex, but Miz countered and dropped Bryan onto his chest. When Bryan was back on his feet, Miz took him back down with a flying clothesline. Miz picked Bryan up and positioned him for a Skull Crushing Finale, but Bryan was able to escape. Miz charged at Bryan, who caught him and delivered a northern lights suplex. Miz was able to kick out, but barely. When Miz was back on his feet, two engaged in a back and forth war of elbows. Bryan was able to get the upper hand by knocking out Miz with a surprise spinning elbow. Bryan attempted to lock Miz in the LeBell Lock, but the 'Awesome One' was able to fight out it. Miz ducked a clothesline and dropped Bryan with an inverted DDT. Miz anxiously waited for Bryan to get up to his feet. When he did so, Miz once again attempted the Skull Crushing Finale, but Bryan countered it and attempted a backdrop suplex. Miz was also able to counter that and successfully delivered a Skull Crushing Finale. He got the cover, but Bryan was able to get his foot on the bottom rope. Not sure what to do next, Miz placed Bryan on the top turnbuckle and looked to be going with a superplex. Bryan wouldn't allow that as he delivered multiple shots to Miz's mid section. He was able to turn Miz around and delivered repeated elbows to Miz's shoulder area. It looked like Bryan was going for a bulldog, but Miz stopped that as he delivered a few elbows of his own to Bryan's mid section. Miz locked both of his arms in a full nelson position and delivered a Skull Crushing Finale off of the top rope! Miz rolled Bryan over and covered him to finally pick up the victory. Winner: The MizThe bell was rung as The Miz was declared the winner. Both Miz and Bryan took each other to the limit, but in the end the victory goes to the 'Awesome One'. Several highlights from the match were shown before The Miz was shown on the stage, clearly exhausted, but with his hand raised in victory. Cameras cut to the parking lot, where a limo was pulling up. Exiting the limo was Raw General Manager Chris Jericho, April Lee, and Alex Riley. Jericho asked someone in the limo if they have a deal. Out came Alberto Del Rio, who asked Jericho to remind him why he needs this deal. Jericho stated that Mr. McMahon will be visiting him tomorrow night on Raw, so he can't have anything happen on his show that could tick him off. And he knows what his intentions are. Jericho asked Del Rio to please not lay a finger on Randy Orton tonight. Del Rio did nothing but wink at Jericho before leaving. Jericho stood there with his two associates, wondering if Del Rio gave him a yes or a no. Intercontinental ChampionshipWade Barrett © vs. KaneThe bell sounded as Barrett took Kane down to the mat and delivered several right hands, but was forced to back away as the referee's count reached four. Barrett irish whipped Kane into the ropes, but Kane ducked his clothesline and delivered one of his own. Every time Barrett was back on his feet, Kane knocked him back down with an uppercut. Barrett was soon clotheslined over the top rope. Outside, Barrett shoved Kane into the barricade and rushed back into the into, allowing him time to catch his breath. As Kane tried to get back into the ring, Barrett delivered a baseball slide. He picked Kane up on the outside and threw him into the steel steps. Barrett tossed Kane back into the ring and covered him, but only managed to gain a two count. Barrett locked Kane in a headlock, which he managed to keep locked in for a good while. The crowd began to clap in support of Kane, who used the energy to deliver a few elbows to Barrett's mid section, effectively breaking the hold. Kane lifted Barrett into position for a sidewalk slam and dropped him to the mat with it. Barrett was able to kick out Kane's pin attempt. Kane decided to climb onto the top turnbuckle as he patiently waited for Barrett to get to his feet. Upon doing so, Kane flew through the air with a clothesline, but Barrett was able to move out of harm's way. He mocked Kane by lifting his hand in the air as if he was going for a chokeslam. That turned out to be exactly that as he grabbed Kane by his throat. Kane did the same as the two behemoths struggled to choke the life out of the other. Barrett looked to be fading away until he delivered a blatant low blow to Kane. The referee called for the bell and Kane was declared the winner via DQ. Barrett was handed the championship as he exited the ring. SmackDown GM Teddy Long came out to the stage and told Barrett that he wasn't going to allow the match to end this away. Long ordered for the match to be restarted. Barrett was outraged, but it didn't matter as Kane tossed him back into the ring. Kane delivered several uppercuts, followed by one big boot. He prepared for a Chokeslam. As Kane had a grip on his throat, Barrett delivered a few hard shots to the side of Kane's face, bringing his bare-knuckle fighting background into the mix. He then lifted Kane into position for The Wasteland and dropped Kane to the mat with it. Barrett covered him to get the clean victory this time. Winner: STILL Intercontinental Champion, Wade BarrettThe WWE Universe showered Barrett with boos as he grabbed the Intercontinental Championship and made his way up the ramp. Michael Cole praised Barrett for his performance, stating that he overcame the odds. To others, his win was nothing but luck. Whichever way you see it, Wade Barrett is still your Intercontinental Champion. A promo was shown for SummerSlam, the biggest party of the summer. To the surprise of many, the promo announced that at SummerSlam, we will see the return of the Money In The Bank Ladder Match. The 23rd annual SummerSlam will be live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, CA on August 15th, only on PPV. Returning to the arena, the commentators were expressing their excitement for SummerSlam. However, there are two men who are very much looking forward to SummerSlam as one of them will challenge for either the WWE Championship or the World Heavyweight Championship at the event. The video promo for the following match was shown, highlighting the finals of the King Of he Ring. Christian was able to defeat Dolph Ziggler, and become the No.1 contender for SummerSlam. Vickie Guerrero was able to book a rematch between the two for tonight, with Christian's SummerSlam title opportunity on the line. Both Christian and Ziggler have their eyes on SummerSlam, but only one of them will be able to go onto the biggest party of the summer with a chance to live their dreams. SummerSlam Title OpportunityChristian vs. Dolph ZigglerBefore the bell sounded, cameras caught both men exhaling deep breathes, showing how much this match means to them. When the bell rang, Ziggler approached Christian and signaled for the championship, trying to get in the 2010 King Of The Ring's head. Christian responded by delivering a slap across Dolph's before rolling him up. Dolph managed to kick out, but walked right into another roll up. He managed to kick out again, but went outside to catch his breath for a bit. Christian springboarded off of the corner turnbuckle and launched himself onto Ziggler. Christian tossed him back into the ring and covered him, but got another two count. He tried to pick up Dolph, who retaliated with shots to Christian's mid section. Dolph ran the ropes and went for a clothesline, but missed and Christian attempted to lock him into position for The Killswitch. Dolph pushed Christian away and attempted to put him in the Sleeper Hold, but Christian was able to throw him over his head. Christian delivered a dropkick that sent Dolph out of the ring. Christian was going to launch himself over the top rope, but Dolph used Vickie as a shield, stopping Christian in his tracks. Dolph grabbed Christian's legs and pulled him out of the ring, landing on his back. Both men were back in the ring and Dolph covered Christian, but only managed to gain a two count. Dolph delivered several elbow drops to Christian, finishing the sequence off with a jumping elbow drop. Despite that, Christian was still able to kick out. Ziggler irish whipped Christian into a corner and climbed onto the second turnbuckle to deliver multiple shots to Christian's forehead. Christian was able to catch Ziggler off guard by dropping him with a poweromb. Christian climbed to the top rope and delivered a Frog Splash. Christian undoubtedly had that match won, but Vickie pulled the referee out. As the two of them argued on the outside, Dolph pulled what looked to be brass knuckles out of his trunks. He turned Christian around and clocked him in the head with the brass knuckles. When Vickie saw that Dolph had used the brass knuckles, she allowed the referee to re-enter the ring. Dolph tossed the knuckles out of the ring as Vickie picked them up and placed them in her pocket. Ziggler covered Christian, but amazingly, Christian was able to place his foot on the bottom rope. Ziggler and Vickie were both in complete disbelief. Ziggler began to argue with the referee, until he lost his temper and shoved. The referee responded by shoving Dolph back. Christian regained consciousness and rolled Dolph, but only managed to get a near fall. Dolph charged at Christian, who ducked and Ziggler inadvertently struck the ref. Dolph seemed to be actually pleased with the mistake as he smiled down at the ref. Dolph and Christian battled it out for a bit until both men took each other out with simultaneous clotheslines. Ziggler was the first to his feet and asked Vickie for the brass knuckles. She pulled them out of her pocket and intended to toss them to Dolph, but he failed to catch them and the brass knuckles ended up in Christian's possession. He delivered struck Dolph in the head with them. Vickie climbed up onto the apron and yelled at Christian for cheating. He seemed to have had enough of Vickie as he tossed Dolph into her, knocking her off the apron. Christian engaged the Killswitch and covered Dolph as the referee crawled towards them and made the three count. Winner: ChristianFollowing the match, Christian helped the referee to his feet as he raised his arm in victory. Christian was able to overcome both Vickie and Dolph Ziggler, and it if now official. Christian will headline the 23rd annual SummerSlam on August 15th and challenge the champion, whomever that may be. A 'Don't Try This At Home' advert was shown at this time. Returning to the arena, the commentators announced that it is now time for the Loser Leaves Raw match between John Cena and Sheamus. A video package was shown highlighting this rivalry, dating back to TLC where Sheamus defeated Cena in a Tables Match to win the WWE Championship. Their feud would carry on into 2010, most notably King Of The Ring, where Sheamus felt that Cena was the reason he didn't walk out of the event with the WWE Title. Their feud will conclude tonight as the loser will be forced to leave Raw. Loser Leaves RawSheamus vs. John CenaAs soon as the bell sounded, Sheamus attempted to take off Cena's head with a Brogue Kick. Cena was able to duck the attempt and hoisted Sheamus to his shoulders for an Attitude Adjustment. Sheamus grabbed onto the ropes, forcing Cena to let him go as he landed on the ring apron. Cena was able to block a right hand from Sheamus and tossed him back into the ring. Cena delivered multiple running shoulder-blocks that took Sheamus down to the mat each time. Sheamus eventually caught Cena off guard with a huge clothesline. Sheamus grabbed Cena and threw him shoulder first into the steel ring post. Cena fell to the outside and Sheamus hunted him down. The Celtic Warrior lifted Cena in the air and dropped his chest onto the ring apron. Cena backed into a ring post as Sheamus charged towards him. Cena was able to dodge a clothesline and Sheamus' arms collided with the steel ring post. As Sheamus held his arm in pain, Cena bounced his head off of the ring post before tossing him back into the ring. Cena delivered his Back-side slam before telling Sheamus that he 'can't see him'. Sheamus was able to quickly get to his feet before Cena could hit the Five Knuckle Shuffle and delivered a devastating Brogue Kick. Sheamus got the cover, but Cena was able to kick out just before the referee's hand could hit the mat a third time. Sheamus put Cena in position for the High Cross, but it was countered and Cena dropped him with an Attitude Adjustment. To the shock of many, Sheamus kicked out. Cena placed Sheamus on the top turnbuckle and looked to be going for a superplex. Michael Cole pointed out that the last time Cena attempted a superplex on Sheamus, he lost the WWE Championship. Sheamus delivered a few shots to Cena's mid section and was able to escape the superplex positioning. Sheamus was then able to deliver a powerbomb off of the top rope. Both he and Cena layed motionless on the mat as the referee began to count both men down. They were both on their feet by the eight count. Both men traded blows until Sheamus ducked a shot and hit Cena with an Irish Curse. Cena was able to kick out, much to the frustration of Sheamus. As he was being lifted to his feet, Cena was able to lock Sheamus in the STF. The Celtic Warrior struggled to claw his way to the ropes, but he managed to. Cena pulled Sheamus closer to the middle of the ring, but was kicked away. Cena fell outside and climbed onto the ring apron when Sheamus charged at him. Cena was able to lift Sheamus up onto his shoulders and dropped him with an Attitude Adjustment onto the floor. He threw Sheamus back into the ring and covered him to end their rivalry once and for all. Winner: John CenaCena celebrated his victory following the match as Sheamus soon regained his composure. Realizing that he had just been defeated, he ripped apart the announce table and tossed around a few other objects at ringside. During his rampage, he was once again lifted onto Cena's shoulders, who delivered an Attitude Adjustment through the announce table. Security came down to ringside to escort Sheamus out of the arena as Cena orchestrated the crowd into singing him goodbye. An advertisement was shown for Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat's new DVD, available now. Returning to the arena, the announce team was shown at their stations without a table due to what happened between John Cena and Sheamus. Jerry Lawler states that he couldn't be more happier to see Sheamus be forced to leave. Matt Striker pointed out that he knows somebody who hasn't been very happy as of late and that is the World's Largest Athlete - the Big Show. And that is because 'Dashing' Cody Rhodes crossed the line two weeks ago when he stole a photo of Show's family from his bag and ripped it to shreds. With retribution in Show's eyes, he would not want to be Cody Rhodes right now. No Disqualifications'Dashing' Cody Rhodes vs. Big ShowCody Rhodes was out first in his ring gear, looking without a single fear in the world. He grabbed a microphone and reminded everyone that last Friday, he announced that he had an equalizer for this match, and he would like to introduce him right now. Out came Vladimir Kozlov, who shook hands with Rhodes as the two awaited Show's entrance. The World's Largest Athlete sported jeans and a t-shirt, showing that he didn't come to The Bash for a wrestling bout. As Show made his way down the ramp, Rhodes sent Kozlov out to take care of Show. Kozlov charged towards Show, who delivered a huge Knockout Punch, eliminating the equalizer. Rhodes was shocked to see how easily Show overcame Kozlov, and fear became the dominant emotion in the Dashing One. Show got one last look at Rhodes before rushing into the ring. Rhodes quickly escaped and attempted to run through the audience, but Show grabbed him and pulled him down. Rhodes covered his face on the ground, not wanting Show to damage any of his dashing features. Show began delivering repeated right hands to the back of Rhodes' head until officials and Teddy Long ran down to ringside. They all pleaded with Show to stop, stating that he would kill Rhodes. Show would not cooperate and things didn't look good the Dashing One. Suddenly, Kozlov attacked Show, only to be taken back out with another Knockout Punch. While Show was off of him, officials picked up Rhodes and took him to the backstage area. Show tried to chase after them, but other officials stopped him. Teddy Long told Show that he needed to calm down. Show delivered a Knockout Punch to one of the officials, forcing Long to call for security. Long pleaded with Show to stop, telling him that he can get Rhodes another, but right now he needs to calm down. Security soon arrived, but Show walked away from the scene on his own. No ContestBackstage, Sheamus was shown sitting on a set of bleachers backstage when Raw GM Chris Jericho approached him. He told Sheamus that he needed to leave. When Sheamus asked why, Jericho said that since Mr. McMahon will be visiting him tomorrow, he can't do anything tonight that could tick him off, and allowing somebody who is no longer on his roster in the building is something that could very well do that. Sheamus told Jericho that he would leave because he respects him, but also because he has bigger plans anyways. The Straight Edge Society were shown in their locker room. CM Punk asked many questions, such as "who is your leader" and "who is your savior"? Each question was answered with Punk's name. Punk asked "who will leave here tonight as the World Heavyweight Champion"? Before the SES could answer, Jack Swagger's voice was heard saying "the All American American". Punk got up from his chair and stared face to face with Swagger, who simply said that he would see him out there before leaving for the ring. Triple Threat Match for the World Heavyweight ChampionshipJack Swagger © vs. CM Punk vs. Rey MysterioAs soon as the bell sounded, CM Punk lifted Rey Mysterio into position for the GTS. Jack Swagger grabbed Punk and hit him with a belly-to-belly suplex with Rey still on his shoulder. With Punk backed into a corner, Swagger took Rey and threw him shoulder first into Punk before dropping once again with another belly-to-belly suplex. Rey ascended to the top turnbuckle and came down on Swagger with a flying crossbody. As Swagger rolled out of the ring, Punk delivered a dropkick to Rey and a few right hands. He then slid Rey out of the ring under the bottom rope and the top of Rey’s head collided with Swagger’s chest. Punk waited until both men were back on their feet before executing his next move. He launched himself over the top rope, but Rey and Swagger both moved out of the way and Punk crashed to the floor. Swagger kicked Rey in the mid section and tossed him back first into the barricade. Swagger tossed Punk back into the ring and covered him, but only managed to gain a two count. He positioned Punk for the Gutwrench Powerbomb, but Rey took him down with a springboard seated senton. Punk was able to break up the pin attempt. Punk irish whipped Rey into a corner before charging towards him with knee to his jaw. Punk stayed on the turnbuckle for a bit to talk smack to Rey, but Swagger dropped him off with a powerbomb. Rey jumped onto the second turnbuckle and locked Swagger in a headlock. When Punk was back on his feet, Rey hit a bulldog on Swagger, but with his feet connecting on Punk’s face. Rey tried to cover both men, but both kicked out just before three. Punk was the first to his feet and Rey charged towards, but he was able to gain the advantage as he dropped Rey with a scoop slam. Punk then delivered a swift kick to the side of Swagger’s face and lifted him into GTS position. Swagger blocked Punk’s knee from colliding with his face and locked him in the Ankle Lock. Before Punk could submit, Rey broke the hold up with a dropkick. Swagger charged towards him, but Rey was able to jump onto him and lock him in a Guillotine Chokehold with his legs wrapped around Swagger’s waist. There was no doubt that Swagger was about the submit, but Punk delivered a elbow drop to Rey. Punk and Swagger had a back and forth battle for a bit until Rey delivered a crossbody to the both of them. They simultaneously reached their feet, and Rey delivered a dropkick that sent both of them into the ropes. Mysterio hit a double 619 as this one looked to be over. Punk moved out of the way and Rey only hit Swagger with his Springboard Splash. Punk tossed Rey to the outside and covered Swagger to steal the victory and the championship. Winner: NEW World Heavyweight Champion, CM PunkPunk rolled out of the ring as he was handed the World Heavyweight Championship. All members of the SES came down to celebrate with their leader. Rey undoubtedly had the match won, but it was stolen from him. Nonetheless, CM Punk is now a 4-time World Heavyweight Champion, and Friday Night SmackDown has entered the Straight Edge Era. A promo was shown for the 900th episode of Monday Night Raw, which will be live on August 30th. United States ChampionshipJohn Morrison © vs. Ted DiBiaseThe bell sounded and both men locked up. DiBiase was able to overpower Morrison and shove him away. Morrison responded with a push of his own. He ducked a right hand from Ted and swiftly kicked his ankle, causing him to fall on his face. Morrison delivered a standing SSP onto Ted's back, but only managed to gain a two count. DiBiase was able to duck a Flash Kick and took Morrison down with a clothesline that turned Morrison inside out. DiBiase irish whipped Morrison into the ropes, who surprised Ted by flying over the top rope, landing on Virgil. Morrison hopped onto the ring apron, but Ted knocked him off. On the outside, DiBiase lifted Morrison into a suplex position, but rammed his back into the steel ring post. Back in the ring, Ted could only get a two count. He threw Morrison into a corner and charged towards him, but Morrison was able to hop out of the ring and onto the ring apron. He was able to hit DiBiase with an elbow before snapping his neck off of the top rope. With Ted motionless on the mat, Morrison was able to successfully hit Starship Pain to retain his championship. Winner: STILL United States Champion, John MorrisonBackstage, Chris Jericho was shown in his office with April Lee and Alex Riley. The Miz soon walked in as Jericho congratulated him on a job well done against Daniel Bryan. He hugged April and hesitantly shook Riley's hand. Miz said that if he were them, he would tune in to Raw tomorrow night to witness the continuation of the 'Road to Awesomeness'. As soon as Miz made his way out of the room, Jericho's phone rang. He noticed that the caller id read "Stamford CT". He put the phone on speaker and answered it to find out that Vince McMahon was on the line. Vince said that he just wanted to remind Jericho that he will be at Raw tomorrow night and address the current problems backstage. Jericho asked Vince if he was going to be fired. Vince responded with "Just meet me in the ring tomorrow. And don't bring your friends". Jericho looked to be on the verge of tears as he hung up, worried about his position as General Manager of Raw. Returning to the announce team, who had a new table set up, announced that it was now time for the main event. At this year's draft back in April, Edge was drafted over to Monday Night Raw. He made his mark on Raw that same night as he screwed Randy Orton out of the chance to be the No.1 Contender for the WWE Championship. Their rivalry would continue on, which included a Steel Cage Match. Edge would regain the WWE Championship at King Of The Ring, and Orton would become the No.1 Contender the next night. Edge issued a challenge to Orton to make the match a Ladder Match, which The Viper would reluctantly accept. The next week, new blood would get involved in the rivalry as Alberto Del Rio defeated Orton in his debut match. This past Monday, Orton was able to stand tall over both Edge and Del Rio with the championship in his possession. Ladder Match for the WWE ChampionshipEdge © vs. Randy OrtonJustin Roberts gave the pre match introductions as both Orton and Edge almost never took their eyes off of the WWE title that was hanging high above the ring. As soon as the bell sounded, Edge attempted to run out of the ring to grab a ladder, but Orton was able to stop and delivered multiple shots to the side of his face. Orton repeatedly stomped on Edge in a corner before tossing him to the outside. Orton grabbed a ladder and rammed it into Edge. Orton placed Edge on his right shoulder and was going to slam him onto the ladder, but Edge slid off and Speared Orton onto that ladder. Edge grabbed another ladder and placed it on top of Orton. He then climbed up onto the ring apron and delivered an elbow drop onto the ladder that buried Orton. With some time for himself, he tossed the ladder into the ring and set it up. He came close, but Orton was able to powerbomb Edge off the ladder. He set the ladder up in a corner before throwing another ladder into the ring. Orton tossed Edge back-first into the corner ladder and scoop slammed onto another ladder. Orton set up one of the ladders and began scaling it. Edge grabbed his foot, but was easily shoved away. Edge took the other ladder and rammed it into Orton's ladder, causing him to fall to the mat. Edge saw an opportunity for a Spear, but later saw a better opportunity - a punt kick. Edge revved up and charged towards Orton, but was taken down with his own Spear. Orton went to the outside and set a ladder up with one end on the ring apron and the other on the announce table. He attempted to suplex Edge onto the ladder, but was unsuccessful and had his neck snapped off of the ropes. Edge attempted to deliver a WrestleMania 22-esque Spear, but Orton moved out of the way and Edge stopped himself. Orton delivered a kick to Edge's chest and set him up in a familiar position. With Edge's feet hung on the ropes, Orton dropped him with a DDT onto the ladder. Both men were out cold as a "Holy sh*t" chant began. Orton was back on his feet first and set a ladder up in the ring. He began to climb it, but soon noticed that Edge was climbing onto the ring apron. Orton joined Edge once again on the apron as the two traded blows. Orton was able to duck one of Edge's punches and delivered an Angle Slam onto the ladder, this time snapping it in half. An even louder "Holy sh*t" chant broke out as both men layed motionless for a bit. Orton was back up first and began scaling the ladder. Suddenly, Ricardo Rodriguez grabbed Orton's foot. Rodriguez made a run for the backstage area, but Orton got a hold of him on the stage and dropped him with an RKO. Orton waited patiently as he had his eyes set on punting Ricardo. While this was going on, Del Rio appeared at ringside through the audience and splashed water in Edge's face. He helped Edge into the ring and up the ladder. Orton, still waiting to punt Ricardo, noticed this and made a run for the ring, but it was too late as Edge had pulled down the championship. Winner: STILL WWE Champion, EdgeDel Rio quickly ran through the audience as he knew that Orton wanted nothing more than to gain a measure of revenge on him. Orton furiously looked on from ringside as Del Rio winked at him from the stands. Michael Cole pointed that earlier in the evening Jericho had asked Del Rio to not lay a finger on Orton. Del Rio obeyed those orders, but still found a way to cost Orton the title. Edge was able to crawl up the stage with his championship still intact as The Bash concluded. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ © World Wrestling Entertainment, 2010[/center][/font][/td][/tr][/table][/center]

WWE The Bash: Sunday 18th July 2010...Kofi Kingston beating Drew McIntyre is a shame. Your choice of theme songs are so unique, I do like them. Great start to the show, the Miz beating Daniel Bryan makes perfect sense. As long as Bryan had plenty of offence anyway. Wade Barrett and Kane sounded boring and unappealing, the right man won. I wonder how long Barrett will hold onto that WWE Intercontinental Championship. Christian and Dolph Ziggler had a great back and forth match, Christian seemed more likely to win the right to face the World Heavyweight Champion at SummerSlam though. I do hope Ziggler gets built up for being a main eventer by the end of the year. John Cena and Sheamus was a heated match, I feel it should have gone on before the main event though. Sheamus to SmackDown seemed more likely, why drop the most profitable wrestler down to the B-Show? Sheamus hopefully dominates there, he needs to improve a bit more anyway. Big Show and Cody Rhodes' feud is uninteresting. Did like Show destroying Cody, hopefully it's not going to be the start of the 'Undashing' Cody Rhodes gimmick though. CM Punk winning the World Heavyweight Championship? Was likely. Would have rather Jack Swagger retain though. I see CM Punk and Rey Mysterio facing off one last time at SummerSlam. Although, Punk got his head shaved two months earlier, and he would have looked ridiculous bald with a heel heard and as champion. CM Punk and Christian at SummerSlam I just recalled...not sure what to think of that. John Morrison retaining the WWE United States Championship from Ted Dibiase is cool I guess. Could have been done on RAW though. And lastly, rightful main event as Edge retains the WWE Championship from ex-partner, Randy Orton in a fantastic Ladder match. Overall, despite the odd booking flaw, this was a solid show.

I haven’t followed this, but since it’s a pay per view, I figured to leave a reply. Miz/Bryan is a very good opening contest. A win here for Bryan would’ve been great since Miz can easily get his heat back. I hope Bryan gets a quicker push then he has in real-life. Glad Barrett went over Kane. I find Kane to be a guy to elevate younger talent and the win for Barrett, even as champion, helps his creditability. Christian/Ziggler is a good match. I would’ve been fine with whomever won the match, really. LOL, as soon as I saw the stipulation I didn’t think Cena had a chance in hell of losing. I expect Sheamus to get a run on Smackdown. I guess Show/Rhodes is being dragged out longer. The finish was interesting as I hope Show is getting a mean streak or something vicious. Punk picking up the win by tossing Rey out of the ring is good. Punk/Christian should be an excellent title match for Summerslam. Weird that DiBiase/Morrison is on so late in the show. Morrison going over is the obvious call. I like the idea of Orton/Del Rio feud as that is refreshing. A pretty good show, I thought.

I believe this is the first time I've ever read this diary so replying to The Bash first seems like a good starting point. Miz/Bryan seemed like a good way to open the show and Miz winning didn't really come as a surprise considering it seemed like Bryan held his own. It's only a matter of time before Bryan beats The Miz, though. Solid defense for Wade Barrett against Kane. Glad that Wade won as Kane doesn't really need the Intercontinental Championship. Love the stipuatlion of the SummerSlam title opportunity and I love even more that Christian was the winner. I would have been fine if Dolph won, so really it was a win/win situation. Wouldn't mind seeing Dolph eventually be built up to the main event scene as he's basically there if he's competing for a chance to headline SummerSlam. Sheamus going to SmackDown over Cena was the right choice as SmackDown could really benefit from Sheamus. Seemed like it was a bit low on the card, though. Show destroying Cody was alright, although I agree with Dan that I hope it's not the start of Cody's face being ruined, etc. I hope you go a different route from what the WWE really did. Quite surprised to see Punk win the World Heavyweight Championship. Does that mean Punk/Christian at SummerSlam? Or will Christian challenge for the WWE Championship? I'm intrigued. JoMo retaining over DiBiase is alright. Wouldn't have minded DiBiase getting a run as the champion, though. Edge retaining the WWE Championship is good and could possible set-up Edge/Christian at SummerSlam, but you might end up running with Punk/Christian. I'm interested to see who Christian will challenge as I know I'd much rather see Edge/Christian.

The Wrestling Bulletin By: Ryan Moreno, 7-19-10
Last minute Bash changes | MITB at SummerSlam | Face turn for SD star? | New gimmick for Cody Rhodes?
* According to various sources, Dolph Ziggler was originally scheduled to go over Christian at The Bash and win the SummerSlam championship opportunity. However, Christian would have regained that title opportunity two days later on the live Tuesday edition of SmackDown, so the result in the end would’ve been the same.
* As announced during The Bash, an 8-man Money In The Bank Ladder Match will be held at SummerSlam, featuring 4 superstars from Monday Night Raw and 4 superstars from Friday Night SmackDown. The WWE was originally considering having a Money In The Bank PPV in place of The Bash, but that is obviously not the case.
* As seen over the past few weeks on Friday Night SmackDown, there have been signs of a face turn for Jack Swagger. As of right now Swagger is more along the lines of a tweener, but it is expected for his face turn to be completed very soon.
* An idea was tossed around to have Cody Rhodes somehow ‘lose’ his dashing good looks as a part of his current program with the Big Show. It is being said that the creative team likes the idea, but seeing as how Rhodes’ Dashing gimmick is relatively new, it is not expected for him to become Un-Dashing in the near future. However, we wouldn’t rule out the possibility of seeing an “Un-Dashing” Cody Rhodes in 2011.

Monday Night Raw July 19, 2010 | Tulsa, OK | Long Time Coming ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ WWE Superstars 7/22 Taping Results Santino Marella def. Primo United States Champion John Morrison def. Zack Ryder ________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Opening tonight's show was a video package highlighting the Ladder Match for the WWE Championship at last night's Bash PPV. Freeze frames were shown for all of the major spots in the match. Edge managed to retain the WWE Championship, but not without a bit of assistance from Randy Orton's rival, Alberto Del Rio.
In the arena, the theme of Alberto Del Rio hit as the Mexican Aristocrat arrived in a 1957 Jaguar that Michael Cole claimed to be priced at over $100,000. Del Rio took a microphone and asked for the WWE Universe to thank him. The reason being that he saved them from having to sit and watch Randy Orton walk out here tonight with the WWE Championship. And he followed Chris Jericho's orders. He didn't lay a finger on Orton, therefore he can't be punished. But because he defeated Orton two weeks ago, who was the No.1 Contender at the time, he feels that there is no reason as to why he shouldn't be the No.1 Contender for SummerSlam. Del Rio was soon cut off by the theme of John Cena. Cena told Del Rio that he did defeat Randy Orton and that was very impressive, but he doesn't deserve that honor after what he did last night. Last night he did not only the WWE Universe a favor, but he also did the Raw locker room a favor by ridding this show of the human jar of mayonnaise. And if he has to right now, he will take out the human jar of salsa. Raw's General Manager Chris Jericho soon came out to the stage and stopped Cena and Del Rio from going any further. Jericho stated that later tonight, Mr. McMahon will be visiting him and he can't afford to have anything happen on the show that could infuriate him. And as much as he would like to name a No.1 Contender on his own, he needs to do it the 'right' way. So tonight's main event will see John Cena battle Alberto Del Rio and the winner will go on to SummerSlam to face Edge for the WWE Championship. Cena seemed please, but Del Rio was furious. Jericho apologized to Alberto, but stated that this was something he needed to do.
A shot of the parking lot was shown as we are still awaiting the arrival of Mr. McMahon. What will the chairman have in store for Chris Jericho later tonight? ________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Returning to the arena, Michael Cole plugged the live Tuesday edition of SmackDown tomorrow night. John Morrison's theme hit as the United States Champion made his way out to the stage in casual clothing. Brackets were shown for a 4-man tournament to determine the No.1 contender for the United States Championship. Morrison joined Cole and Lawler on commentary, stating that he wants to get a closer look at this tournament.
Daniel Bryan def. David Otunga In the first match of the tournament, Daniel Bryan forced David Otunga to submit to the LeBell Lock
As Bryan's hand was raised in victory, Morrison stood up from his chair and applauded him for his performance. He walked to the back as Bryan's eyes were locked onto him the entire time.
In the backstage area, Chris Jericho was shown in his office with April Lee and Alex Riley, visibly nervous. Riley patted Jericho on the back and told him that there's nothing to worry about. Jericho yelled at Riley that there is something to worry about. He could be fired tonight. And he and April are signed to personal contracts, meaning they would probably be fired as well. Jericho ordered Riley to the parking lot to keep an eye out for Mr. McMahon's arrival. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Returning from the commercial break, The Miz made his way down to the ring. He took a microphone and stated that earlier today, Chris Jericho offered him a spot in that 4-man tournament. He declined the offer because he is past the United States Championship. In 4 weeks, the Money In The Bank Ladder Match comes to SummerSlam. There is only one man who can climb the ladder and retrieve the briefcase, cash it in and become the WWE Champion. Before Miz could recite his catchphrase, he was interrupted by the theme of R-Truth. "You know what's up Miz? The Truth climbing the ladder and becoming Mr. Money In The Bank", said Truth. Miz repeatedly said the word really until Truth had enough and slapped Miz across his face. Truth responded with "Really. Ring the bell".
The Miz def. R-Truth The Awesome One was able to dodge an Axe Kick and planted Truth with a Skull Crushing Finale to pick up the victory
In the parking lot, a limo was shown pulling up. Just as expected, Mr. McMahon walked exited the limo. He was greeted by Alex Riley, who told Vince that Jericho signed personally and that he's a great guy who would never do anything to damage this company. Vince smiled and patted Riley on the shoulder before leaving.
Another camera caught Chris Jericho walking down a corridor with a look of fear in his eyes. On his way, he was met by the Hart Dynasty. Natalya told Jericho that they realize this could be his last night on Raw. So just in case, they wanted to give him a parting gift. Kidd handed him a box, which had a section of the newspaper in it. Smith told Jericho that it's the classifieds. They laughed and walked away as Jericho threw the paper to the ground and continued on. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A promo was shown for tomorrow night's live Tuesday edition of SmackDown. With CM Punk as the new World Heavyweight Champion, what is in store for the blue brand?
"No Chance In Hell" hit as the chairman himself strutted down to the ring. He asked for Jericho to come down to the ring so they could get down to business. Jericho slowly made his way into the ring, realizing that he could be making his last trip down the aisle. Vince told Jericho that he understands that things haven't exactly been running smoothly around here ever since he was named General Manager. Jericho told Vince that that isn't exactly true. It's not his fault so many worker have walked out on him. Vince asked Jericho who's fault it is then. Jericho didn't seem to have an answer as sweat dripped down his face. Vince said that he spoke with some of the exiting workers, and they said that he is mistreating them, paying them less, and is just an all around jerk. Jericho stayed quiet. Vince said that he could easily fire Jericho......but he's not going. The audience erupted in boos as Jericho's face lit up with joy. Vince told Jericho that he's not going to fire him, but he's not going to leave him in charge of Raw by himself. Jericho's smile was gone as he asked Vince what he meant. Vince said that he find it in the company's best interest if he named a Co-GM of Raw. Jericho was in disbelief. Vince said that Jericho is still a part of the Raw roster, but until a Co-GM is named, his duties as an authority figure will not be needed. He could become an active wrestler again if he wants, but he will not be in the General Manager role until there is someone for him to share it with. Vince left the ring as Jericho dropped to his knees on the verge of tears. Until a Co-General Manager is named, he is not in charge of Raw.
A graphic was shown for tonight's main event. John Cena vs. Alberto Del Rio to determine the No.1 Contender for the WWE Championship at SummerSlam. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A recap was shown of what just took place with Chris Jericho and Mr. McMahon. Jericho was shown walking to his office backstage, only to find it locked. April Lee and Alex Riley walked up to Jericho and told him that Mr. McMahon had ordered security to throw them out and lock the office door. Jericho sat down on the ground and muttered to himself "I don't want a partner."
Diva's Champion Eve and Melina def. Maryse and Alicia Fox Just one week before their championship match, Eve and Melina were able to co-exist as Eve pinned Fox after a Moonsault
Eve was handed the Diva's Championship as she and Melina raised each other's arms in victory. Suddenly, Melina delivered a slap across her face. Eve was left in the ring in shock as Melina walked up the entrance ramp, motioning for the title.
Backstage, Mr. McMahon was shown entering his limo when Scott Stanford caught up with him and asked him who will be the Co-GM of Raw. Vince stated that later this week, he will be interviewing several people who he feels qualify for that position. But as he stated earlier, Chris Jericho will not be in the General Manager position until he names a Co-GM. And until then, he will be leaving SmackDown GM Teddy Long in charge of both shows.
United States Champion John Morrison was shown at the announce table once again as the second match in the 4-man tournament is up next.
Ted DiBiase def. Evan Bourne After missing Airbourne, DiBiase dropped Evan with Dream Street to pick up the victory
The updated brackets were shown for the tournament as we now have the finals set for next week. Ted DiBiase will square off against Daniel Bryan and the winner will challenge John Morrison for the United States Championship at SummerSlam.
John Cena was shown walking down a corridor. The No.1 Contenders Match is up next. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A promo was shown for the 23rd annual SummerSlam, live Sunday August 15th only on PPV.
John Cena and Alberto Del Rio fought to a no contest Towards the end of this bout, Cena charged at Del Rio, who moved out of harm's way, and Cena inadvertently took out the referee with a running shoulder block. The match essentially ended here
After the referee rolled out of the ring, Del Rio charged towards Cena, who hoisted him to his shoulders and dropped him with an Attitude Adjustment. Suddenly, Chris Jericho hit the ring and delivered a Code Breaker to Cena. Jericho tossed Cena out to the ring and told him that people like him are the reason he is getting a Co-GM. Jericho was showered in boos as he made his way up the ramp. Del Rio was stirring to his feet in the ring, but was taken back down as Randy Orton came through the audience and planted him with an RKO. Orton grabbed a microphone and got in Del Rio's face. "Alberto, that was an RKO.......but you already know that." Orton did his signature pose in the ring as Cole and Lawler wondered what would happen now that there is no No.1 Contender. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Returning from the break, a recap was shown of the carnage that occurred just minutes ago. Lawler and Cole were at a lost as there is no No.1 Contender and there is nobody here to address the situation. Suddenly, the theme of Edge his as the WWE Champion made his way down to the ring. He grabbed a microphone and said that last night, he showed Randy Orton that he cannot be beaten at his own game. But right now is the time to celebrate. And that is because there is no No.1 Contender, and there is no General Manager here to do anything about it. So it looks he won't be defending the WWE Championship at SummerSlam. Edge was about the leave the ring, but "Just Close Your Eyes" hit as Christian made his way out to the stage. Edge had a look of shock in his face as Christian entered the ring. The two former best friends stared at each other for a bit before Christian told Edge that it's good to see him. But if he thinks that he's getting SummerSlam off, then he may want to listen to what he has to say first. Back in June, he won the King Of The Ring tournament, which gives him a championship match at SummerSlam. "Yeah and you know what that means? That means you need you go back to SmackDown and face CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship," stated Edge. Christian told Edge that that's where he's wrong. The contract that he signed after winning the King Of The Ring said that gets a championship match at SummerSlam. It didn't say anywhere in the contract that he needed to challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship. What he's trying to say is that he's made his decision. At SummerSlam, he wants to challenge him for the WWE Championship. Edge violently pulled his hair back and stated that Christian can't do that. Christian looked directly at Edge and told him that he just did. "See you at SummerSlam... Adam." Those were Christian's last words before he made his way up the entrance ramp. He looked back into the ring and stared at Edge one last time as Raw came to a close. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ © World Wrestling Entertainment, 2010

WWE RAW: Monday 19th July 2010...Santino Marella defeating Primo is nothing special. I didn't like that John Morrison, the WWE United States Champion competed on Superstars though, no matter who his opponent is, he should always be a priority for RAW. Alberto Del Rio's promo was quite good, interesting debut by him. John Cena's interruption was nice, but I'd rather you didn't push Del Rio to the WWE Championship immediately. I see Cena winning the main event. But it's just too soon for Del Rio with SummerSlam of all shows coming up. Mind you, Cena and Edge is turning into a really boring series. I hope we don't get any more Edge and Cena matches after SummerSlam, they've rivalled for four years. Daniel Bryan beating David Otunga is fine, odd decision to open the show in the ring though. Can't see Bryan winning the contenders tournament though seriously. The Miz's promo was quite good, liked R-Truth's interruption and the fact that you're allowing R-Truth to actually speak more words than just his theme song. Keep that up. The Miz beating R-Truth was just obvious though. I'm liking what you're doing with Vince McMahon and Chris Jericho. Did like Jericho standing up to Vince though. I don't get why Jericho would be upset about having to compete with a Co-General Manager though. Hopefully Jericho doesn't return to the ring in a hurry though. Or let the other GM of RAW be announced too slowly. Eve and Melina beating Maryse and Alicia Fox was likely. Ted Dibiase beating Evan Bourne was quite a good decision, decent match there. Dibiase will most likely win this. Dibiase facing Morrison at SummerSlam doesn't sound too grand though, they had way too many matches around this time period. John Cena not being able to beat Alberto Del Rio was a disappointment. You're rushing Del Rio to the main event scene, when he's been here one night, and is already potentially in the main event of RAW's side of SummerSlam. Randy Orton helping Cena out against...Jericho? Odd move. Jericho and Del Rio is a great combination though. I don't get where Christian fits in with Edge though, especially after that supposed number one contender's main event. Edge and Christian seems to be building for SummerSlam's main event though. Which could be good, but I hope it doesn't main event SummerSlam in all seriousness. Christian doesn't look legit enough as a main eventer at this point. Quite a vital episode.

WWE RAW: Monday 19th July 2010...Santino Marella defeating Primo is nothing special. I didn't like that John Morrison, the WWE United States Champion competed on Superstars though, no matter who his opponent is, he should always be a priority for RAW. Alberto Del Rio's promo was quite good, interesting debut by him. John Cena's interruption was nice, but I'd rather you didn't push Del Rio to the WWE Championship immediately. I see Cena winning the main event. But it's just too soon for Del Rio with SummerSlam of all shows coming up. Mind you, Cena and Edge is turning into a really boring series. I hope we don't get any more Edge and Cena matches after SummerSlam, they've rivalled for four years. Daniel Bryan beating David Otunga is fine, odd decision to open the show in the ring though. Can't see Bryan winning the contenders tournament though seriously. The Miz's promo was quite good, liked R-Truth's interruption and the fact that you're allowing R-Truth to actually speak more words than just his theme song. Keep that up. The Miz beating R-Truth was just obvious though. I'm liking what you're doing with Vince McMahon and Chris Jericho. Did like Jericho standing up to Vince though. I don't get why Jericho would be upset about having to compete with a Co-General Manager though. Hopefully Jericho doesn't return to the ring in a hurry though. Or let the other GM of RAW be announced too slowly. Eve and Melina beating Maryse and Alicia Fox was likely. Ted Dibiase beating Evan Bourne was quite a good decision, decent match there. Dibiase will most likely win this. Dibiase facing Morrison at SummerSlam doesn't sound too grand though, they had way too many matches around this time period. John Cena not being able to beat Alberto Del Rio was a disappointment. You're rushing Del Rio to the main event scene, when he's been here one night, and is already potentially in the main event of RAW's side of SummerSlam. Randy Orton helping Cena out against...Jericho? Odd move. Jericho and Del Rio is a great combination though. I don't get where Christian fits in with Edge though, especially after that supposed number one contender's main event. Edge and Christian seems to be building for SummerSlam's main event though. Which could be good, but I hope it doesn't main event SummerSlam in all seriousness. Christian doesn't look legit enough as a main eventer at this point. Quite a vital episode. Del Rio's debut was two weeks ago at this point. Orton wasn't helping Cena out. He was getting revenge on Del Rio for costing him the title at The Bash.

-A #1 Contender's Match up next should be great. Can't wait for that. -Bryan over Otunga was the right call. Bryan's push has been going along nicely. -Miz over Truth was the best way to go here tonight too. Wonder who the GM will be. -There's a way to stretch the co-GM feud. Hope it's announced at SummerSlam. -Great main event tonight. Orton hitting the RKO and then stealing his punchline was priceless. -Christian vs. Edge at SummerSlam will be fantastic. Will see that. Good end to the show. -Very good show.

July 20, 2010 | Little Rock, AR | The Straight Edge Era ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ WWE Superstars 7/22 Taping Results Justin Gabriel def. Curt Hawkins Chris Masters def. Shad ________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A video package opened tonight's show highlighting the Triple Threat Match from this past Sunday's Bash. Rey Mysterio undoubtedly had the match won, but CM Punk capitalized and stole the victory. Tonight, the Straight Edge Era begins.
In the arena, Matt Striker and Todd Grisham welcomed everyone to a special live Tuesday edition of SmackDown. As we just saw, CM Punk managed to claim the World Heavyweight Championship at The Bash. In Punk's words, tonight marks the beginning of the Straight Edge Era.
"This Fire Burns" blasted over the PA system as The Straight Edge Society made their way down to the ring, missing their leader. Serena grabbed a microphone and told the audience to stand on their feet and welcome the only 4-time Straight Edge World Heavyweight Champion in WWE history, CM Punk. Punk made his way out to the stage and raised his newly won championship in the air. He joined his fellow SES members in the ring as Serena handed over her microphone to him. Punk allowed the crowd to show their disapproval of him before speaking. "I told you so" said Punk, garnering more heat. Punk said that the WWE Universe went into The Bash expecting Rey Mysterio to overcome the odds and win the World Heavyweight Championship. Well what happened? He won. He is now the only 4-time Straight Edge World Heavyweight Champion in WWE history and in the Straight Edge Era, nobody will be able to stop him from saving the tormented souls that make up the WWE Universe. And right now he will take the first step to creating a better society. All four SES members sat Indian style in the ring as Punk stated that even if it takes the entire show, he will get his message across. Guys like Rey Mysterio and Jack Swagger will ask themselves why they didn't come out victorious at The Bash. The answer to that is because they are weak minded. They don't understand that they live in a fantasy land. Rey Mysterio believes that he is a superhero who overcomes the odds, while Swagger believes that he's an american patriot who is the odds on favorite at everything he does. Punk said that they need to wake up and see reality. And the reality is that he is better than them. That is why he is sitting here in the ring as the World Heavyweight Champion. Soon, General Manager Teddy Long made his way out to the stage and said that these people here in Little Rock didn't come here to be preached to. They came here to see the best that SmackDown has to offer, which is exactly what he's going to give him. Long added that Punk may want to listen because tonight, Rey Mysterio and Jack Swagger will face each other with the winner going on to SummerSlam to challenge him for the World Heavyweight Championship. Punk told Long that he doesn't care about that because SummerSlam is still a while away. So if he would allow him to get back to business he would really appreciate that. Long said that he wasn't finished. There's a reason Punk can't stay preaching in the ring and that is because he needs to get ready for his match tonight. Punk will be defending the World Heavyweight Championship against.......The Undertaker! Punk's eyes looked as if they were going to pop out of his head. Before leaving, Long added that if any SES member gets involved, he will lose the World Heavyweight Championship.
Backstage, Kelly Kelly was shown walking down a corridor as up next, she finally gets the opportunity to become the Women's Champion as she takes on Michelle McCool. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A recap of Teddy Long's announcement moments ago was shown as well as graphics for the two matches that were revealed.
Kelly Kelly def. Michelle McCool to WIN the Women's Championship As Layla had the referee distracted, McCool was able to roll Kelly up with an inside cradle. Before the referee could count three, Kelly reversed the roll up and picked up the victory
The WWE Universe stood on their feet as Kelly looked to be on the verge of tears. She was handed the championship as she climbed onto the second turnbuckle and held it high in the air. Both McCool and Layla stood at ringside in disbelief at what had just happened. Nonetheless, Kelly Kelly is your new WWE Women's Champion.
Backstage, Jack Swagger was shown lacing up his boots when Josh Mathews asked him if he feels confident going into tonight's No.1 Contender's match. Swagger said that he and Rey aren't great friends, but they do have one thing in common and that is a dislike for CM Punk. So getting his hands Punk at SummerSlam is all he wants at the moment. He understands that Rey has more of a history with Punk, but he will do whatever it takes to make sure that he meets Punk at SummerSlam for the World Heavyweight Championship. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Returning from the break, Matt Striker and Todd Grisham went over what happened at The Bash between Cody Rhodes and the Big Show. Because of what happened, Big Show was sent home for the week and Cody Rhodes has decided to stay at home to recover. It is expected for Rhodes to return next week, but it is undecided when Show will be asked to return.
Intercontinental Champion Wade Barrett def. Matt Hardy In what was very one-sided bout, Barrett delivered Wasteland to Hardy to pick up the victory
Backstage, Rey Mysterio was shown walking down a corridor. His No.1 Contender's match with Jack Swagger is up next. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The Raw Rebound was shown, focusing on Mr. McMahon's announcement that Chris Jericho will be receiving a Co-GM, and Christian's announcement that he will be challenging Edge for the WWE Championship at SummerSlam. Returning to the arena, Matt Striker confirmed that because of what happened on Raw, Christian is now apart of the red brand's roster.
Rey Mysterio def. Jack Swagger Mysterio looked to be on the verge of submitting to the Ankle Lock, but he was able to counter it and roll Swagger up to get the victory
Swagger stirred to his feet as Rey's hand was raised in victory. Rey extended his hand out to Swagger. After a bit of hesitance, Swagger accepted the handshake.
Backstage, Teddy Long was shown in his office when Josh Mathews walked in and asked him what it means now that he is the temporary Raw General Manager. Long stated that he's not going to get used to the job because he understands that Mr. McMahon will choose a Co-GM very soon. And even though he may be on Raw for a bit, SmackDown is still his home. And as his first act as the temporary Raw GM, he is going to give the WWE Universe something that he knows they want. As SummerSlam, Alberto Del Rio will make his PPV debut when he goes up against The Viper, Randy Orton. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Backstage, Jack Swagger was shown walking around, realizing that he will not be challenging for the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam. Intercontinental Champion Wade Barrett walked up to Swagger and told him not to worry. Nobody will probably even remember him as World Champion. Barrett laughed to himself and walked away as Swagger stared at him in anger.
Dolph Ziggler def. Kofi Kingston After failing to his Trouble In Paradise, Kingston was dropped with a Zig-Zag that gave Ziggler the victory
Following the match, Ziggler grabbed a microphone and stated that he had something to say. At The Bash, Christian cheated. He used a pair of brass knuckles because he knew that he couldn't defeat him on his own. And he believes that Christian didn't go to Raw to face Edge for the WWE Championship. He went to Raw to avoid him. But that's okay because he doesn't need the title opportunity at SummerSlam. Instead, he will take out 8 other men, climb a ladder, and become Mr. Money In The Bank. After that, it will only be a matter of time before he has the World Heavyweight Championship around his waist.
A graphic was shown for tonight's main event - CM Punk defending the World Heavyweight Championship against The Undertaker. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A promo was shown for next Monday's Raw, advertising the contract signing between Edge and Christian for the WWE Championship match at SummerSlam. Also, the Money In The Bank qualifiers begin.
Drew McIntyre def. Kane As Kane lifted him into the air for a Chokeslam, McIntyre was able to counter it and drop Kane with a DDT to pick up the win
World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk was shown making his way down a corridor. He defends the championship against The Undertaker next. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A promo was shown for SummerSlam, live Sunday August 15th only on PPV.
CM Punk def. The Undertaker to RETAIN the World Heavyweight Championship With the referee inadvertently knocked out, Punk took it upon himself to remove the protective covering from one of the turnbuckles. He attempted to irish whip Taker into it, but was thrown chest first into it himself. Taker signaled that it was time to finish Punk, but Sheamus hit the ring and delivered a devastating Brogue Kick to the Phenom before heading through the audience. Punk draped his arm over Taker as the ref slowly made the three count
Punk was handed the World Heavyweight Championship as Sheamus looked on from the audience. Sheamus, who was forced to leave Raw at The Bash, just cost The Undertaker the World Heavyweight Championship. Punk crawled up the ramp with his championship still intact as SmackDown went off the air. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ © World Wrestling Entertainment, 2010 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________

July 26, 2010 | San Antonio, TX | Hold #1,005: Authority Stripped ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ WWE Superstars 7/29 Taping Results Yoshi Tatsu def. Primo Hart Dynasty and Evan Bourne def. The Usos and William Regal ________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Following the signature WWE intro, Chris Jericho was shown sitting in a chair in the middle of the ring as the audience showed their disapproval. Jericho stated that numerous times in his career, he has put up with whatever was thrown at him. Whether it be jealousy in the locker room, or the moronic fans, he always proven that he is the best in the world at what he does. But last week, he was the victim of a tragedy. A tragedy that he unfortunately has no control over. He was stripped of his authority as the General Manager of Raw. The crowd cheered as Jericho told them to sit down and shut up because there is no reason to be joyful over any of this. Why did this happen? Because a few people weren't comfortable with the way he's been running things. The only thing is it's not his fault. It's theirs for not willing to accept a tough boss. He will be back in the General Manager position, but not until Mr. McMahon finds someone suitable enough to be a Co-General Manager. Jericho stated that he does not wants, nor need, anyone's help with anything. So if Mr. McMahon would please reconsider his decision, he would really appreciate it. Also, many people have been asking why he attacked John Cena last week. That is because he was told by his assistant, April, that she has it under good authority that Cena was the first person to contact Mr. McMahon with complaints about him as General Manager. John Cena is not here yet, which makes a lot of sense because he has every right to fear him. And until Cena arrives and meets him face to face, he is not going anywhere. Soon, the temporary Raw General Manager Teddy Long came out to the stage. He informed Jericho that John Cena contacted him not too long ago and said that he's having transportation issues, but he promises that he will be here tonight. Jericho told Teddy that he's still not going anywhere until Cena arrives. Long told Jericho that if he wants to stay in the ring so much, then that's fine. But he'll have an opponent in the ring with him. Jericho was enraged, telling Long that he's not even dressed to compete. Jericho's rambling was interrupted by "Voices" as Randy Orton made his way down to the ring to a huge reaction from the WWE Universe. Jericho threw his jacket to the ground and stomped on it until Orton attempted to RKO him. Jericho was able to escape outside of the ring as it looks like our opening contest will begin when Raw returns. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Chris Jericho def. Randy Orton As Orton was getting ready to strike with an RKO, a loud car horn was heard as Alberto Del Rio drove into the arena, catching his attention. Jericho was able to roll Orton up with a handful of tights to steal the victory
Jericho crawled up the entrance ramp with his hand raised in victory as Del Rio looked on from his car. He stuck his head out of the car window and laughed as Orton stared at him furiously from the ring.
Backstage, United States Champion John Morrison was shown in his locker room when Josh Mathews asked him who he would like to see win the Contender's tournament tonight - Ted DiBiase or Daniel Bryan? Morrison stated that having faced DiBiase before, he knows what it takes to defeat him. Daniel Bryan, on the other hand, is a completely different story. But that doesn't mean that he won't face Bryan if he has to, because he will. And he'll face Ted if he has to. Nonetheless, he will be watching from ringside tonight to see first hand who he'll be dealing with at SummerSlam.
A graphic was shown revealing that tonight, we will hear from Christian for the first time since announcing that he will face Edge for the WWE Championship at SummerSlam. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A video was shown at this time highlighting past Money In The Bank ladder match. Returning to the arena, Michael Cole promoted the return of the Money In Bank ladder match at the 23rd annual SummerSlam. The briefcase was shown hanging above the ring as Justin Roberts announced that the following contest is a Money In The Bank qualifying match.
R-Truth def. David Otunga to qualify for Money In The Bank Ducking a clothesline, Truth was able to hit Otunga with the Lie Detector to secure the victory and a Money In The Bank spot
Backstage, Teddy Long was shown in his office when Scott Stanford got a word with him. Stanford asked if Teddy temporarily being the General Manager for both shows means that we will see superstars from both brands on both shows? Long stated that it's still as if he was only the General Manager for SmackDown. There will be no dual-branded action on either show. And since this seems like the best time, he wants to set the record straight about something that he's been hearing a ton of rumors about over the weekend. Yes, he has signed Sheamus to SmackDown.
Backstage, Christian was shown walking down a corridor. We are set to hear from the 2010 King of the Ring next. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________
Returning from the break, a recap of last week's confrontation between Edge and Christian was shown. WWE Champion Edge, who thought that he would have SummerSlam off, was confronted by his long time friend Christian. The 2010 King of the Ring winner announced that he would be using his title shot to challenge Edge for the WWE Championship at SummerSlam.
"Just Close Your Eyes" blasted as Christian made his way out to the ring. He grabbed a microphone and asked if his peeps on Raw missed him, garnering a nice response from the audience. Ever since last week, he's been hearing a lot of buzz about him challenging Edge for the WWE Championship at SummerSlam. After he won the King of the Ring tournament, he had his mind set on going after the World Heavyweight Championship. As soon as Edge won the the WWE Championship, everything changed. He had hoped for Edge to hold onto the championship so that he could face him at SummerSlam. Fortunately, he got his wish. And many people are already doubting him, saying that he can't win 'the big one'. He's proven doubters before, and he'll do the same when he becomes the WWE Champion at SummerSlam. Soon, Edge made his way down to the ring. He grabbed a mic and stared at Christian for a good while. Edge said that being an opportunist, he can respect Christian's decision. But that doesn't change the fact that it's a mistake. If Christian really wanted to become champion, then he should've stayed on SmackDown because there is no way on earth he's taking his WWE Championship at SummerSlam. Edge then stated he believes that Christian is simply jealous of him. Throughout both of their careers, he's been the more favored, respected, and successful. Christian told Edge that jealousy has never crossed his mind, because believe it or not he's actually happy for his success. But he's not happy with what he's done to achieve that success. And he knows that he can beat him. Edge put his head down in shame, telling Christian that he just doesn't get it. Ever since returning to the WWE last year, he's been in battles with some tough competitors, but he has never faced anybody on his level. He's not meant for the top spot. Only he is. Christian told Edge that that's the problem. He think's that he's the only person around who deserves to wear the WWE Championship around his waist. There's always somebody out who has the champion's number, and it's him. And he will realize that at SummerSlam. Edge took the WWE Championship off of his shoulder and placed it in his hands. He told Christian that since he's such a kind and giving person, he's going to allow him to touch the title. Because that's the closest he will ever come to it. Christian told Edge to just wait and see. Underestimate him now, and watch him shine at SummerSlam. As Christian exited the ring, Edge continued on, saying that Christian will realize that he is the last person he wants to face for the WWE Championship because he will crush his dreams in Los Angeles. Christian looked back at Edge and motioned for the championship.
Diva's champion Eve was shown walking down a corridor. She is set to defend her championship against Melina up next. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A promo was shown for this Friday's edition of SmackDown. 17 days before his WWE Championship match at SummerSlam, Christian will visit SmackDown one final time to take on the World Heavyweight Champion, CM Punk.
Melina def. Eve to WIN the Diva's Championship After Eve missed a Moonsault, Melina was able to hit her with the Primal Scream to reclaim the Diva's Championship
Backstage, Chris Jericho was shown in his locker room with April Lee, still patiently waiting for John Cena. Alex Riley soon entered the room and told Jericho that there was still no sign of Cena anywhere. Jericho, clearly fuming, stated that the night will not end until he meets John Cena face to face. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The Miz def. Mark Henry to qualify for Money In The Bank After managing to get the World's Strongest Man on one knee, Miz hit the Skull Crushing Finale to pick up the victory
An updated graphic for the Money In The Bank ladder match was shown with R-Truth and The Miz as the first two superstars to qualify. Three more will qualify this Friday on SmackDown.
Backstage, Alberto Del Rio was shown in Chris Jericho's locker room. Jericho told Del Rio that when he gets his General Manager authorities back, he will keep him in mind when thinking of who should be in line for a WWE Championship match. Del Rio thanked Jericho and walked out of the room as Josh Mathews asked him if he feels that Randy Orton will once again attempt to get even with him. Del Rio said that Orton would be a fool to try and get even with him. Del Rio walked up to his car, but was surprised to find that the door was locked. The window rolled down as we saw Randy Orton in the driver's seat. He drove away as Del Rio chased after him. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Returning from the break, the United States Champion John Morrison was shown making his way down to ringside to watch the next match. The brackets for the 4-man tournament were shown as we will now find out who will challenge Morrison for the US title at SummerSlam.
Daniel Bryan def. Ted DiBiase Bryan was able to escape Dream Street and locked Ted in the LeBell Lock, forcing him to submit
Bryan's hand was raised in victory as John Morrison stepped into the ring and stared face to face with his SummerSlam opponent. Morrison extended his hand as Bryan accepted the handshake. Bryan made his way up the ramp as Morrison raised the United States Championship high in the air. Bryan simply responded with "it's on".
We were once again taken to Chris Jericho's office, where Alex Riley informed him one last time that he's asked around and nobody has seen Cena yet. Jericho threw a chair into the wall and said that he's not going to wait anymore before heading out the door. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A promo was shown for SummerSlam. The hottest event of the summer is live Sunday August 15th, only on PPV.
Returning to the arena, Teddy Long walked out onto the stage and asked the audience if they've enjoyed the show so far. A positive response was given. Long stated that Mr. McMahon contacted him and told him that he will be here next week, and he an only assume that he is going to announce the Co-General Manager. But even if this is the only Raw he will be a part of, he had a lot of fun. But the best was saved for last. Long walked to the back as everybody wondered what he meant. Soon, a familiar theme hit as the WWE Universe erupted. San Antonio's own Shawn Michaels made his way out to the stage. "Man it feels great to back" said the Heartbreak Kid. Michaels said that this is the first time he's been at a Raw since his retirement, and to be honest, he's very happy with the direction the company's gone since then. There may have been a few hiccups along the way with Chris Jericho as General Manager, but he's glad to see that all of the talent have stepped their game up. As much as he would love to come back, he's staying true to his word that he gave to both the WWE Universe and The Undertaker. But even though he's gone from the company physically, he will never leave it emotionally. Shawn thanked everybody before putting his mic down on the stage. Before he could leave, Chris Jericho made his way out to the stage. He asked Shawn how he could he dare talk down on his work as General Manager. And he's right, the direction of the WWE has been better, but not because the talent is stepping up. It's because he's not here to hold down the talent anymore. Jericho told Shawn that he knows exactly why he's here. It's because he's the Co-General Manager. He shook his head in disappointment, stating that he knew Shawn couldn't stay away. Michaels said that he hates to burst Jericho's bubble, but he's not the Co-General Manager. Vince McMahon did contact him about that position, but honestly, he would rather watch paint dry then work with him. Jericho, now furious, told Shawn that's fine, because the thought of them working together repulses him. Jericho continued on as John Cena made his way out to the stage, unbeknownst to Jericho. Jericho told Michaels that he couldn't even stand the sight of him, so he would be on his way now. Jericho turned around and met Cena face to face. He turned around again, but received Sweet Chin Music. Jericho, still standing, was hoisted onto Cena's shoulders and was dropped with and Attitude Adjustment onto the stage. Cena and Michaels raised each other's hands whilst standing over Jericho as Raw went off the air. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ © World Wrestling Entertainment, 2010

Friday Night SmackDown July 30, 2010 | Corpus Christi, TX | Captain's Orders
After the WWE intro, cameras cut directly to the arena, where Christian made his way down to the ring. This is to be the final appearance for Christian on SmackDown as Captain Charisma will be moving over to Raw to challenge Edge for the WWE Championship at SummerSlam. Christian thanked the SmackDown audience for their support over the past few months, which lead to him winning the King of the Ring tournament. And it is that same support that will lead to him becoming the new WWE Champion at SummerSlam when he defeats Edge. Suddenly, Christian was cut off by the words "Excuse Me" as Vickie Guerrero and Dolph Ziggler made their way out to the stage. Ziggler told Christian that he knows the true reason why he's moving over to Raw. Not to face Edge at SummerSlam, but to avoid him because he knows that he can't beat him in a fair fight. Christian stated that if Ziggler's referring to their match at The Bash, it was Vickie who threw him the brass knuckles. So if he wants to place the blame on someone, it should be placed on her. Ziggler told Christian that he may not be able to get his championship match at SummerSlam, but that's irrelevant at this point. What matters to him is proving that he can beat Christian. Dolph then challenged Christian to one final match tonight, which Captain Charisma gladly accepted.
Kofi Kingston def. Drew McIntyre in a Money In The Bank Qualifier After countering a Future Shock attempt, Kofi was able to plant McIntyre with the SOS to score the victory
The theme of Sheamus hit as SmackDown's newest acquisition made his way down to the ring. A recap of last week's main event was shown, which is where Sheamus made his SmackDown debut by attacking The Undertaker and effectively costing him the World Heavyweight Championship.
Sheamus def. Chris Masters Despite putting up a good fight, The Masterpiece fell victim to a Brogue Kick that gave Sheamus the victory
Following the match, Sheamus grabbed a mic and told the WWE Universe to listen if they want an explanation. After he was forced off of Raw at The Bash, Raw's General Manager Chris Jericho was kind enough to work out a deal with Teddy Long to bring him over to SmackDown. He knew that he had to make an impact right away, and what better way to do that than to take out the Deadman. So right here and right now, he is challenging Undertaker to a match at SummerSlam.
Rey Mysterio def. Joey Mercury With World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk looking on, Mysterio was able to send a message by defeating Joey Mercury
Because of this victory, Mysterio was allowed to choose the stipulation for his championship match with CM Punk at SummerSlam. Mysterio stated that if SummerSlam is going to be the final chapter in his and Punk's rivalry, then it needs to be settled in an environment where there will be interference, no games, and a true winner. Mysterio told Punk that at SummerSlam, he will meet him in a 15-foot high Steel Cage.
Kane def. Intercontinental Champion Wade Barrett in a Money In The Bank Qualifier Just when it seemed like the match was in Barrett's favor, Jack Swagger ran down to the ring and created a distraction, allowing Kane to Chokeslam his way to the Money In The Bank Ladder Match
Jack Swagger slowly made his way back up the ramp, satisfied with having gained revenge against Barrett for his comments towards him last week. Barrett looked on Swagger with anger in his eyes.
Cody Rhodes def. JTG In a rather short bout here, Rhodes was able to put JTG away with Cross Rhodes to score the victory
Following the match, Teddy Long made his way out to the stage. He informed everyone that the Big Show was asked once again this week to stay home after his reckless behavior at The Bash. However, he can confirm that Show will be back next week, and was able to work something out with him. So at SummerSlam, Cody Rhodes will meet Big Show in a No Holds Barred Match. Rhodes' jaw was wide open in disbelief as he will be forced to step in the ring with one pissed off giant at SummerSlam in a No Holds Barred Match.
Christian def. Dolph Ziggler In his final match on SmackDown, Christian was able to go out with a bang as he planted Ziggler with a Killswitch to get the victory
Following the match, Christian took the time to say goodbye to all of the fans and everyone at ringside as he this is his final appearance on SmackDown. He made his way up the ramp while the fans chanted his name. Christian stood on the stage and motioned for the WWE Championship, garnering a pop from the audience. When he turned around, he was drilled with a Spear from Edge. The WWE Champion raised his championship high in the air while standing tall over the No.1 contender for SummerSlam. |
