After the WWE signature, a video package was shown recapping the RAW side of things from last night's Vengeance PPV event. In the first of the two RAW main events, distractions from a returning Kevin Nash allowed The Miz and R-Truth to pick up a victory over the unlikely team of Triple H and CM Punk. Following the bout, Nash laid out his former best friend Triple H with a Jackknife Powerbomb in the center of the ring. For the Awesome Truth, this would not be the last we saw of them at Vengeance. In the Last Man Standing match later on, both Miz and Truth would get themselves involved, costing John Cena the victory and allowing Alberto Del Rio to leave San Antonio with his WWE Championship still intact.

Cutting straight to the Frank Erwin Center here in Austin, "The Game" blasted as Triple H made his way down to the ring. After what occurred last night at Vengeance, there has to be a ton of emotions running through the Cerebral Assassin. Triple H was handed a microphone as he stood in the center of the ring, where was laid out by his former best friend, Kevin Nash. The Game simply stared down at the mat as the WWE Universe chanted his name. Before he could speak, he was interrupted by the Executive Vice President of Talent Relations and the Interim General Manager of Monday Night RAW, John Laurinaitis. He stated that he's very aware of the rumors going around in the locker room about him being the one who allowed Kevin Nash into the arena last night, and even setting up the attack. So right now, he wants to set the record straight in front of both the WWE Universe and Triple H. Yes. He was the one who allowed Kevin Nash into the arena at Vengeance last night. At that moment, Triple H's eyes looked as if they were capable of popping out of his head. He grabbed Laurinaitis by his collar and backed him into a corner. Laurinaitis said that he and Nash were in contract negotiations over the weekend, and he's pleased to announce that Nash is now an official member of the Monday Night RAW roster. Triple H raised his fist in the air, prepared to strike down onto Laurinaitis. The Interim RAW GM quickly said that even though he allowed Nash into the arena last night, he had no idea that his intentions were to get himself involved in the Tag Team Match. And because of his actions, he sent Nash home and gave him the night off. Triple H took Laurinaitis' microphone and told him that since he brought Nash to the arena last night, he wants him to do the same tonight. He wants to meet Nash in the parking lot before the end of the night. He let go of Laurinaitis' collar before picking up the microphone he dropped on the mat. Laurinaitis told Triple H that in case he forgot, Nash lives in Detroit. It's impossible for him to get here within a two hour period. Triple H told Laurinaitis that if he doesn't get Nash tonight, it's going to be his ass that takes the beating instead. Triple H dropped his microphone before making his way up the entrance ramp. On the stage, Triple H turned around and mouthed the words "2 hours" to Laurinaitis before he was struck from behind with a sledgehammer by......Kevin Nash! Nash caught Triple H directly in the back of the neck as he stared down at his former best friend. Laurinaitis yelled at Nash, asking what the hell he was thinking. Nash didn't pay any attention to any of Laurinaitis' words as he picked up the motionless body of Triple H and planted him with a Jackknife Powerbomb onto the steel. Paramedics and officials were able to get Nash away from the scene as they tended to the fallen King of Kings. Laurinaitis checked on Triple H as he was placed onto a stretcher.

Returning from the commercial break, several replays of Kevin Nash's heinous attack on Triple H were shown before cutting to the parking lot, where he was loaded into the ambulance. John Laurinaitis looked on as the ambulance drove away from the Frank Erwin Center. Soon, Kevin Nash approached Laurinaitis and simply said "tough break, eh?". Laurinaitis told Nash that had he known he would cause this much chaos, he's not sure he made the right decision by signing him to a contract. But since he's here and he's looking for a fight, he's gonna get one tonight when he goes one on one with John Cena.

Sheamus def. Drew McIntyre
The Sinister Scotsman certainly hasn't been on a roll of any sort as of late, but this match may have been just what he needed to bounce back into relevance. With the Great White coming off of a victory over Christian last night at Vengeance, his wave of momentum continued into this bout. McIntyre spent most of the match working on Sheamus' right leg, eliminating the Brogue Kick from his arsenal. As he was going for the Future Shock DDT, Sheamus was able to get a grip of his waist and charge him into a corner. Sheamus pummeled Drew with repeated fiery right hands, soon forcing the referee to back him away. During this time, Drew removed the protective covering from the top turnbuckle. Sheamus charged towards Drew, who was able to get a foot up just in time. With Sheamus stunned, Drew attempted to irish whip into the exposed turnbuckle, but Sheamus managed to turn it around and throw Drew sternum first into the exposed turnbuckle. With Drew clutching his chest in pain, Sheamus caught him with a massive Brogue Kick before covering him to pick up the victory.

Cutting to the backstage area, John Laurinaitis was shown in his office when Zack Ryder walked in. Ryder told him that he's been looking through the Zack Pack's tweets all day, and it seems that the WWE Universe feels the same way he does. The reason he's not standing here tonight as the new United States Champion is because of Vickie Guerrero and Jack Swagger. He knows that if given a fair opportunity, he can put Ziggler away. So he's asking for one more shot at the United States Championship tonight, and with Vickie and Swagger banned from ringside. Laurinaitis told Ryder that while he does agree that some outside interference may have enhanced the result of that match, he lost. If he wants another shot as the United States Title, he needs to earn it. And it's going to take a lot more than the voices of the WWE Universe to convince him that he deserves another opportunity. But if Ryder wants to blow off a bit of steam tonight, he's in luck because he's scheduled to compete against Jack Swagger up next.

Returning from the commercial, The All American American Jack Swagger was shown in the ring as Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler were joined by the United States Champion, Dolph Ziggler on commentary. Lawler asked Ziggler if he feels that Ryder deserves another shot at the United States Title? "Why? He lost. As far as I'm concerned, Zack Ryder's 15 minutes of fame are up and he needs to get in the back of the line, which is where he's spent most of his career anyways," stated the United States Champion.

Zack Ryder def. Jack Swagger
The Zack Pack was in full effect tonight as the crowd here in Austin was red hot for Long Island Iced Z. After his loss last night at Vengeance, Ryder made sure to keep a good eye on Vickie Guerrero at ringside. During the bout, Ziggler stood up from his chair and raised the United States Title high in the air, distracting Ryder long enough for Swagger to turn Ryder inside out with a belly-to-belly suplex. Swagger kept Ryder grounded for a good portion of the match, eventually locking in the Ankle Lock. Ryder managed to reach the ropes, but Swagger was very hesitant towards releasing the hold. The referee pulled Swagger off of Ryder, giving some time to regroup. Swagger pulled Ryder away from the ropes and lifted him up for the Gutwrench Powerbomb, but Ryder was able to counter the maneuver into the Rough Ryder to get the victory.

Ryder celebrated his victory as Ziggler and Vickie left the ringside area and made their way up the entrance ramp. Ryder grabbed a microphone and told Ziggler that he can run his mouth all he wants, but he can't stop the Ryder Revolution. He will get another shot, and this time, he will become the new United States Champion. "Woo Woo Woo.....You Know It."

Backstage, Kofi Kingston and Evan Bourne were shown heading towards the ring when John Laurinaitis approached them. Laurinaitis told them that after some consideration, their match against The Miz and R-Truth tonight is now for the WWE Tag Team Championships. The team of Air Boom didn't seem to mind the late notice as they simply nodded their heads and continued on. Air Boom defend the WWE Tag Team Championships against Awesome Truth next!

The Miz and R-Truth def. Air Boom ; NEW WWE Tag Team Champions
A very solid way to round out the first hour of RAW SuperShow. With both teams coming off of victories last night at Vengeance, the momentum seemed to be at a stalemate in this bout. Kofi and Bourne held the upper hand for the early stages of the match, but it was after Miz countered the SOS into an inverted DDT that we saw a turning point. The match was all Awesome Truth from that point until Kofi made the hot tag to Bourne. Evan was able to plant Miz with a C4 and climb up to the top rope for a crossbody, which Miz was able to dodge as Evan inadvertently struck the referee. With the referee out, Truth grabbed one of the title belts, most likely with the intentions of using it as a weapon. However, Kofi was able to take him out with a running clothesline from the ring apron. In the ring, Bourne caught Miz with a spinning heel kick before climbing up to the top rope against for Airbourne. However, Christian hit the ring and pushed Bourne off! Miz grabbed Bourne and planted him with a Skull Crushing Finale as the revived referee made the three count.

The WWE Universe was livid as Miz and Truth were handed the WWE Tag Team Championships. Christian joined the two of them as they all raised each other's hands in victory. Awesome Truth have claimed the Tag Team Titles, but the real story here is the involvement of Christian. Why?

Returning from the commercial break, a recap of the previous match was shown as involvement from Christian led to the crowning of new WWE Tag Team Champions in The Miz and R-Truth.

Cutting to the parking lot, Miz, Truth, and Christian were all shown getting into a limo when Josh Mathews quickly approached them and specifically asked Christian why he was here? Christian simply responded with "No paparazzi, please." The limo drove away from the arena, as well as any possible answers from Christian as to why he got himself involved.

Cutting back to the arena, Justin Roberts introduced Ricardo Rodriguez as he introduced the reigning WWE Champion, Alberto Del Rio. Del Rio was clearly still feeling the effects of his Last Man Standing match at Vengeance, which he narrowly escape with his championship still intact. Del Rio was handed the microphone as the WWE Universe expressed their feelings towards him, mostly negative. Del Rio told the fans to show a bit of respect to a man of his caliber. Everyone counted him out at Vengeance. They didn't believe that he stood a chance against a man who "never gives up", John Cena. Well he proved that Cena is not superhuman, and he's not immortal. All Cena is now is a footnote in the already glorious career of Alberto Del Rio. He stands here right now as the WWE Champion and realizes something. For months, he's spoken about his destiny to become WWE Champion. Now, it's every WWE superstars destiny to take the WWE Title away from him. But unlike him, they will never fulfill their destiny. He will be WWE Champion for a long time to come, so the locker room and the WWE Universe better get used to this sight because it's not going to change any time soon. Del Rio raised the WWE Title as the audience showered him with boos. Suddenly, "Cult of Personality" hit as CM Punk made his way out to the stage with a pipe-bomb in hand. Punk told Del Rio that he should probably use the Go To Sleep, because that's the only thing that him and his promos do for these people. Del Rio told Punk that it's funny he says standing all the way over there on the stage while he's in the ring. Punk responded by matching down to the ring, asking "is that better?" Punk said that he feels bad for the WWE Universe because they have to settle for a champion like Del Rio. He says that he's "earned" the WWE Championship. Let's take a look back at how he won his two WWE Championships. At Hell In A Cell, he locked John Cena out of the Cell and resorted to using a lead pipe to defeat him. And who can forget SummerSlam? After Super Shredder laid him out, he decided to waltz right down to the ring with his Money In The Bank briefcase and cash in on him. Punk said that Del Rio has proven one thing for sure, and that's the fact that he doesn't deserve to be champion one bit. If Del Rio really wants to prove that he is the rightful WWE Champion, he'll give him a title shot right here and right now. The audience popped as Del Rio shouted "callate!" Del Rio told Punk that in case he hasn't been paying much attention to his own career, he hasn't done anything to earn an opportunity at his title. Until Punk has done something to call himself the No.1 Contender, he's not coming anywhere near him and his WWE Championship. Del Rio left the ring while raising the WWE Title as Punk looked on at him.

Natalya def. Kelly Kelly
This match was made after these two Diva's were involved in an altercation backstage at Vengeance that led to their ban from ringside during the Diva's Championship bout. Both Eve and Beth Phoenix were at ringside to cheer on their respective allies. Kelly Kelly was in control for most of the match, until Natalya was able to counter the K2 into the Sharpshooter. Kelly held on for as long as she could, but was soon left with no alternative but to submit.

The referee called for the bell as Natalya was deemed the winner. Despite her victory, she refused to let go of the Sharpshooter. Eve jumped into the ring and delivered a boot to Natalya before tending to Kelly. However, the Diva's Champion Beth Phoenix got a hold of Eve and planted her with a Glam Slam. The Divas of Doom stood tall over their two adversaries before heading up the entrance ramp.

Backstage, John Cena was shown walking down a corridor as he heads to the ring to meet Kevin Nash in our main event. It's live and up next.

John Cena def. Kevin Nash via Disqualification
After being screwed out of the WWE Championship last night at Vengeance, John Cena was out for a victory against Kevin Nash, who is coming off of two attacks on Triple H, who is possibly watching this from a hospital room. Nash worked on Cena's upper back to make it more difficult for Cena to successfully hit an Attitude Adjustment. As Nash was preparing for a Jackknife Powerbomb, Cena countered it into an Attitude Adjustment attempt, but the back of Cena wouldn't allow it as he collapsed to the mat. After Cena was back on his feet, he was knocked back down instantly via a big boot from Nash. Mocking his former best friend Triple H, Nash attempted to plant Cena with a Pedigree, but Cena managed to toss Nash over his head. After Nash stirred up to his feet, Cena hoisted him up to his shoulders for an Attitude Adjustment. Suddenly, Cena was attacked by The Miz, R-Truth, and Christian as the referee immediately called for the bell.

This trio of Awesome Truth and Christian delivered a beat down onto Cena as the WWE Universe showered all three of them with massive boos. Lawler and Cole seemed confused themselves as we all saw these three leave the arena in a limousine a few moments ago. Christian and Truth held Cena up as Miz delivered shot to his skull with his new WWE Tag Team Championship belt. Miz and Truth then delivered their Skull Crushing Finale/Shut Up combination before Christian planted Cena with the Killswitch. Finally, the three of them handed Cena over to Kevin Nash, who delivered a Jackknife Powerbomb. Miz, Truth, Christian, and Nash all stood over the motionless body of John Cena as RAW SuperShow went off the air.
