RAW goes live at the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Michigan with the announcement that Kofi Kingston will face Jack Swagger, Carlito and The Miz for the United States Championship. On top of all that, Big Show will face Mark Henry one on one, and Chris Jericho will face MVP. With that, The American Dream makes his first appearance to the fans of Detroit Rock City.

Dusty Rhodes takes a trip down memory lane as he remembers when he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in this very city. He makes it clear that he’s proud of his son Cody Rhodes, despite his transgressions over the past few months. He then announces that at Breaking Point, John Cena will face…Cody Rhodes for the WWE Championship. Why? Because his son will challenge Randy Orton…for the WWE Championship…tonight!!! And the special referee for this match will be…John Cena!!!!

With that, Randy Orton makes his way out to the ring to confront his boss for the night.

Orton tries to make it personal by saying that Dusty is doing nothing more than winning back his son’s love by giving him this opportunity. As Orton prepares to kick the elder Rhodes in the skull, the younger Rhodes makes his way down to the ring.

Cody comes out and makes it clear that he will indeed accept the challenge of his father and become the youngest WWE Champion in history. With that, Orton leaves the ring. In the back, Beth Phoenix, Kelly Kelly, Alicia Fox, Gail Kim, Jillian and Rosa Mendes are hearing the rules of tonight’s Six-Diva Battle Royal.

As the bell rings, all six Divas go at it with the opportunity to face Mickie James later on tonight on RAW. Phoenix is trying to eliminate Kelly Kelly, but thanks to an inadvertent bump, Rosa Mendes becomes the first to get tossed. Following the Fox Trot, Alicia is eliminated by Gail Kim. Kim and Phoenix are battling it out after Kelly is eliminated.

Kim starts firing back on Hall as Phoenix continues to regain her composure. Kim looks to be out, but manages to keep from getting eliminated. Kim hangs on the ropes and launches her over with a hurracanrana, but before she can regain her composure, Beth returns and boots her out of the ring to win the Battle Royal. So tonight, it will be Beth Phoenix vs. Mickie James for the Divas Championship.

Following the Battle Royal, Chris Jericho makes his way out for his match…but not before bashing the WWE Universe that is represented in full force in Detroit.

The bell rings, and the slugfest begins as Jericho tries to punk Porter. Jericho gets control and starts to exploit the lower back of MVP, obviously setting him up for a Walls of Jericho attempt. But MVP starts fighting back with right hands followed by a clothesline and belly to belly. As he goes for the Miami Beached, MVP almost gets caught with the Walls.

But MVP bounces back with a big boot to the mouth.

Following a clothesline off the ropes, MVP guns for the Drive By, but Jericho ducks and sends Porter to the outside with a springboard dropkick.

Back on RAW, Jericho’s gloating leads to MVP getting control with a kick to the head and the BALLIN’ Elbow Drop. As MVP goes for the Playmaker, Jericho counters into the Walls of Jericho, only to get caught in a small package. But Jericho delivers the Code Breaker out of nowhere to get the victory over his Breaking Point opponent.

In the back, DX and Dusty Rhodes are plugging the WCW and Dusty Rhodes DVDs as well as the New and Improved DX DVD while Hornswoggle is heading to the ring for his Texas Bullrope Match.

In one of the most “udderly” ridiculous moments in RAW history, Chavo (dressed as a cow) is once again facing Hornswoggle (aka Mini-JBL), but the official tells Chavo that he has to put on a Cow helmet to complete the costume. The two men are in a tug of war before Horns grabs the tail of Cowvo and rides him like a rodeo.

Cowvo loses the hat and goes up top for the Frog Splash, but Evan Bourne comes in to provide enough distraction to allow Hornswoggle to tie the cow up and get the win over Cowvo. But after the bell, Chavo tries to get some payback only to get dropped with a quick kick from Bourne followed by a Cow Tipper aka Tadpole Splash.

After the fun, Big Show makes his way to the ring for his match against Mark Henry.

Show tries to intimidate Henry, but Mark shows that he isn’t afraid of going toe to toe with the World’s Largest Athlete. The two men go back and forth from pillar to post trying to get control of each other. But Show comes out of nowhere to deliver a Spear to Henry before delivering those massive right hands that he uses to eat Subway Lite Sandwiches.

But Henry starts to breathe fire and manages to drop Show with a shoulder block and the Splash. Henry gets caught with an elbow, but Show takes out the metal turnbuckle, shoves Henry into it and gets disqualified for his troubles. After knocking out Henry, Show walks away wondering why he got DQ’d.

In the back, Cody is getting ready when Orton comes in and tries to talk him out of it once again. In the process, Swagger, Carlito, The Miz and Kofi are heading to the ring for the US Championship Fatal Four Way Match.

As the Miz slithers out of the ring, Kofi takes the fight to both Swagger and Carlito. But Swagger bounces back with a belly to belly. After Carlito takes an early exit, The Miz returns into the ring just to get sent over the top. Then Kofi decides to fly himself as he launches himself over the top rope and splashes all three of his contenders.

Back on the program, Swagger has the single leg Boston Crab applied as The Miz slithers around the ring to pick his spot. Miz returns to deliver The Reality Check on Swagger, but Kofi manages to save his championship for the moment.

An aggressive Miz goes for the Real World, but Carlito cuts it off. Carlito get caught, and Kofi delivers a double Cross Body. Swagger returns to the ring and delivers a pair of running splashes followed by the Sooner Splash. After some hesitation, Swagger gets dropped. Kofi goes back on the offensive and delivers a Double Boom Drop on Swagger and Carlito.

The Miz delivers the Skull Crushing Finale on Swagger, Miz gets dropped with the Backstabber, but Kofi manages to return long enough to deliver the Trouble in Paradise to pick up the win and retain the United States Championship.

James goes on the offensive with a quick headlock, but Beth shows her strength with a tree of woe smash in the corner. Beth dropkicks her into the steel post followed by a shoulder slam into the corner. She follows it up with a shoulder breaker. But Mickie starts to show the heart that won her the gold in the first place as she delivers the dropkick and the head scissor takeover. But Beth bounces back and launches her into the barricade before rolling her back into the ring.

But Mickie counters the Phoenix Slam with the Mickie-T to pick up the stunning victory over The Glamazon.

In the back, DX and Dusty are still discussing the Rise and Fall of WCW DVD when Triple H brings up The Shockmaster. All of a sudden, a voice appears out of nowhere followed by the appearance of The San-Master and Double A Arn Anderson as the voice.

Don’t Forget: This Friday on SmackDown, The Undertaker returns to make his first appearance on the brand since WrestleMania to confront World Heavyweight Champion, and his Breaking Point opponent, CM Chump…I mean, Punk.

Back on RAW, John Cena is making more hype for tonight’s main event match. He then focuses on Breaking Point and makes it clear that: HE WILL NOT QUIT!!!

Before the match even begins, Dusty lets it be known that there is nothing that he would do for his son. With that, Legacy and Orton ambush Cena. It doesn’t take long before DX comes down and tries to make the save. But Dusty makes his presence felt again by knocking out Triple H with the boot. With that, Legacy and Dusty Rhodes enjoy the anarchy they unleashed…that is until Orton drops Rhodes with an RKO.

Cody looks to get some payback on his mentor, but instead, he backs off of the challenge. Orton enjoys his carnage, the fans cheer for Cody to fight Orton and RAW goes off the air with more questions than answers…

Mainly, whose idea was it to make Bob Barker (yes, former Price is Right Host Bob Barker) next week’s Celebrity Guest Host????

The WWE is on a collision course with TNA as both promotions are having one of their biggest events in the City of Angels. With Bound For Glory set for LA in October, the WWE returns to the Staples Center.

But there is no Nuggets vs. Lakers rivalry happening in this showdown.

Instead, we get the biggest party of the summer topped off with the return of the biggest faction in WWE History, the return of one of the most dangerous matches in WWE History and the return of one of the biggest rivalries in WWE History.

With that, here is the rundown of tonight's ender to the summer: SummerSlam!

Jack Swagger vs. MVP

Ever since coming over to RAW from ECW, Jack Swagger has continued to march to the beat of his own drum. From taking a countout loss to Randy Orton in his debut to occasionally joining forces with Chris Masters, Swagger has looked to be anything but a simple pushover.

That is, until he crossed paths with someone and made things personal.

After spending a night in the VIP Lounge, Swagger met a new foe in the form of MVP. But it was Swagger bringing out MVP's checkered past that forced Mr. 305 to step his game up a notch.

Now MVP has been known to be a dangerous man when he needs to be, but Swagger ran ECW for a good period of time as ECW Champion. With two slightly contrasting styles in this opening contest, will MVP continue BALLIN' after Summerslam?

Or will it be Jack that leaves LA with his Swagger turned on full?

Battle of The Giants: The Great Khali vs. Kane

The Big Red Machine was brought back to SmackDown for the sole purpose of continuing his Path of Punishment. He made an impact when he took a steel chair to The Punjabi Playboy to allow Dolph Ziggler to pick up a victory.

Now the two Giants will renew their WrestleMania rivalry once again.

After several weeks of torture, The Great Khali finally gets his chance at revenge. After watching his brother, Ranjin Singh, get tortured by the Big Red Monster, Khali gets a chance to put an end to the Hellfire and Brimstone once and for all.

When these two giants collide tonight in The City of Angels, will it be The Punjabi Playboy or the Big Red Demon that leaves the Staples Center with the victory?

WWE Unified Tag Team Championships: Walls of Show-icho vs. Cryme Tyme

Since winning the Unified Tag Team Championships with Edge, Chris Jericho has been on an Ego Trip from Hell. From bashing his home nation of Canada to berating and insulting his former partner, Edge, Jericho is determined to be one half of the most dominant tag teams in WWE History. And alongside the Big Show, who can possibly stop them?

Yo Yo Yo! Insert a new threat...it's Cryme Tyme!

After defeating The Hart Dynasty in a #1 Contenders Match, CTC has a chance to do something they haven't been able to do since their arrival to WWE: Win some gold.

If they manage to outlast the strength and experience of Show-icho, Cryme Tyme would become the third team to win the Unified Tag Team Championships. But with the brutality that is on display nightly from Chris Jericho and Big Show, can CTC climb the mountain and win the WWE Unified Tag Team Championships?

Or will they just be another stepping stone on Show-icho's path to immortality?

WWE Intercontinental Championship: Dolph Ziggler vs. Rey Mysterio

His name is Dolph Ziggler. As we all know, he is a former member of the Spirit Squad and a former World Tag Team Champion. But since his return, he has been a force to be reckoned with. With victories over MVP, The Great Khali and several main eventers, Ziggler hopes to add a new title to his resume: Intercontinental Champion.

Since defeating Chris Jericho to lay claim to the Intercontinental Gold, Rey Mysterio has fought off the likes of Mike Knox, Edge, even Jericho himself. But his biggest thorn has been Ziggler.

Now after winning a Fatal Four Way to challenge Mysterio, Ziggler is determined now more than ever to win the gold from the man from 619. With the homefield advantage in his favor, can Mysterio outlast Ziggler one more time?

Or is this the start of Ziggler's Road to Perfection?

ECW Championship: Christian vs. William Regal

Captain Charisma managed to defeat ECW Legend Tommy Dreamer to regain the championship he never lost. After outlasting Dreamer in an ECW Extreme Rules Match, Christian remained on top of the world. Now he returns to his main event status with a new title and a new opponent.

William Regal was named #1 Contender by ECW GM Tiffany, and since then, he has shown that extreme side he once had. But Regal made sure that he had all his ducks in a row heading into the Biggest Party of the Summer.

So he went out and aligned himself with the two biggest monsters in ECW, Russian Mauler Vladimir Kozlov and Big Ezekial Jackson.

With the services of Kozlov and Jackson at his disposal, are we looking at Regal's first World Championship reign in his career? Or will Captain Charisma be celebrating with his Peepulation in The City of Angels?

Family Traditions: The Legacy vs. D-Generation X

Ever since aligning themselves with WWE Champion Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase have learned from the Master Manipulator in the best way possible.

Now The Legacy looks to cement their own Legacy...at the expense of The Biggest Entity from the WWE Attitude Era.

After being beatdown by Legacy for several weeks, including losing his chance at the WWE Championship at Night of Champions and The Bash, Triple H traveled to Texas to reunite with his friend and partner, Shawn Michaels.

After finding HBK in the kitchen of some corporate office, he managed to convince his friend to come back and reform DX.

But Legacy ambushed DX when they made their return to prove that they are indeed ready for the return of DX and intend on walking out of Los Angeles victorious alongside their leader, Randy Orton.

Can Legacy continue their dominance over The Game, who has help this time? Or will the return of The Heartbreak Kid spell more than just trouble for Legacy...in other words, two words for Legacy?

TLC Match for the World Heavyweight Championship: Jeff Hardy vs. CM Punk

CM Punk's new attitude has forced his loyal fans to turn on him quickly. He has made it clear that the entire WWE Universe are nothing more than sheep injected with drugs, tobacco and alcohol. And he intends to cleanse the Universe by eliminating the man he feels is responsible for these upbringings.

In the process, he intends to once again be World Heavyweight Champion.

Jeff Hardy outlasted Punk at Night of Champions to avenge Punk's shenanigans from The Bash. But after getting pummeled by Punk over the last few weeks, Hardy returns tougher than ever...and with some backup as well.

After getting a change of heart, Matt Hardy not only secured his brother's victory over Punk a few weeks ago, but he also saved his brother from another brutal attack two weeks ago. Now Matt has shown signs that he and his little brother are back on the same page heading into Summerslam...

But is this just another way for Matt to screw his brother over one more time? Or will The Hardyz ride higher than ever before at the end of the night with Jeff surviving Tables, Ladders & Chairs and retaining the World Heavyweight Championship?

Rivalry Renewed: Randy Orton vs. John Cena for the WWE Championship

Ever since Backlash, the WWE Universe has heard voices in their head. It's mainly because The Age of Orton has returned with a vengeance. After decimating Triple H, outlasting The Game and The Commander and sending Batista to the Injured List, Orton looks to be unstoppable and untouchable...

That is until he locked eyes with 250 pounds of problem.

After winning the Beat The Clock Challenge a few weeks ago, John Cena returns to main event status with a chance to reclaim some familiar gold. Two years ago, Orton and Cena battled over the WWE Championship at Summerslam.

A few years before, Cena was battling for the United States Championship, while Orton was becoming the youngest World Heavyweight Champion in history.

Now Orton and Cena exchange roles as The Legend Killer enters as champion and Cena as challenger. Will The Age of Orton continue pass The City of Angels?

Or is John Cena's Time now?

Who will enter tomorrow night's RAW saying, "THE CHAMP...IS...HERE!"?

It's WWE SummerSlam, live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles! Tonight, live and only on Pay Per View!

This edition of the RAW Rewind is dedicated to Corporal Benjamin Stephen Kopp, nephew of WWE Hall of Famer Sgt. Slaughter. Kopp was killed in action in Afghanistan fighting for the very freedoms that we all share and enjoy everyday. Cpl. Kopp, thanks for all your hard work and dedication to the defending the rights of Americans everywhere.

With that, here is tonight's recap of WWE RAW!

Tonight’s RAW in Calgary, AB, Canada opens up with the appearance of WWE Champion Randy Orton, who successfully defended his gold against the Big Show this past Saturday in Loveland, Colorado. Orton starts out by saying that he’s been hearing rumors that he’s afraid of facing John Cena at Summerslam and that he bullied Jeremy Piven to do his dirty work.

He confirms that he did bully him, because he can. After chastising the fans in Calgary, he turns his attention to Summerslam and John Cena. As he continues his tirade, he is joined by his Summerslam opponent, John Cena.

Cena starts out by saying that he is very angry at Orton’s rumors and facts. He then makes it clear that he is truly ready to snap. He goes on to make it clear that he has had enough of Orton’s dirty tactics. Cena decides that the fight should happen tonight. All of a sudden, The Big Show and Chris Jericho make their way down to the ring…but why?

The Unified Tag Team Champions come out and make it clear that they are the ones that are intimidating. Jericho grabs the stick and makes it clear that they are in CANADA! After soaking in the cheers, Jericho announces that he wants to do something that he has never done before: Beat Cena in Calgary.

Orton grabs the mic and makes it clear that he will punt Cena in the skull after the bell. But Big Show has an announcement of his own: He is going to face…The WWE Champion, Randy Orton!

In the back, as Sgt. Slaughter rallies the troops, we learn that Triple H has traveled to Texas to find his long lost partner, Shawn Michaels, in hopes to reunite DX one more time.

Fatal Four Way To Determine the #1 Contender for Divas Championship

Beth Phoenix vs. Alicia Fox vs. Kelly Kelly vs. Gail Kim (Winner: Gail Kim)

Fox and Phoenix start the physicality by slugging it out with Kelly and Kim. All four Divas go for pinfall after pinfall on each other. Fox breaks the pinfall attempts by delivering a backbreaker to Fox. As Kim drops to the floor, Kelly does everything in her power to get control, but a miscue allows Kim to return to deliver a missile dropkick.

Kim and Kelly slug it out on the top rope, but Beth shows her uncanny strength by picking both Kim and Kelly. Fox comes in and breaks the submission, but the two women argue before Fox is launched off the floor. Kim recovers and delivers a splash in the corner before flying off the top rope to Fox. Kelly becomes the next to fly as she launches herself off the apron. Phoenix goes to the top, but Fox stops her in her tracks.

Fox delivers a dropkick to send Kelly out, but Kim delivers the Rising Sun to pick up the win and earn a shot at Mickie James and the Divas Championship.

Following the bout, RAW’s Guest Host makes his first official appearance to the Canadian crowd. The Sarge comes out and gives mad props to the Canadian crowd in attendance…by saluting the Canadian Flag. He then turns it into a Canada SUCKS logo! After bashing the crowd, he demands the crowd to stand up and pay respect to the good ol’ US of A by reciting the Pledge of Allegiance!

Back on the program, we take a look at last week’s ending to the Triple H-Legacy match before the arrival of the Oklahoma Gorilla.

“The All American Gorilla” Jack Swagger vs. Evan Bourne

Swagger comes out swinging with some shots to the midsection, but Bourne bounces back with a drop toe hold and falling dropkick. Bourne starts flying with the Double Knee Drop. Back in the ring, Swagger catches Bourne with a knee to the spine.

But it’s clear that despite all that Bourne has done, Swagger gets the victory with his Swagger Bomb. After the bell, Swagger starts gloating, but he is quickly interrupted by MVP. The Franchise Playa makes it clear that no one in Canada cares that he is an All American. MVP then challenges Swagger to a match…tonight. Swagger decides not to face MVP tonight…which leads MVP to shove Swagger down to the ground.

An embarrassed Swagger walks away with his tail between his legs. But coming up, we will find out how Triple H’s search for HBK is going.

Intermission: The Search for Shawn Michaels

Back on the program, Triple H manages to find Shawn Michaels…working as a Burger Chef in San Antonio. After he berates a little girl for ringing the bell incessantly, he gives a quick hi to Hunter before heading back to the grill.

The Sarge returns to the rowdy Canadian crowd with a present: Jillian singing God Bless America…yeah, I know, my ears are bleeding too.

WWE Contract on A Pole Match

Eugene vs. Calgary Kid

The Kid uses some ingenuity to briefly throw Eugene off, but Eugene recovers and delivers The Rock Bottom followed by the Eugene Elbow. Eugene starts to make his climb to the top of the pole. The two battle until The Kid drops him with a head butt. He then grabs the contract and gets the slot on RAW. After the bell, The Kid helps Eugene to his feet…only to drop him again with a Downward Spiral.

He then unmasks to reveal that The Calgary Kid is in fact…The Miz!

That’s right kids! The Miz has managed to con his way back onto RAW.

Following a quick WWE Rewind, we are graced with the 2^nd presence of Randy Orton as he makes his way down to the ring for his match.

Randy Orton vs. Big Show

Orton tries to get the early advantage, but Big Show shows why he is one of the most dominant athletes in the WWE with a set of punches to the gut. He then locks in a neck vise. Orton is practically helpless as Big Show just walks on the body of the WWE Champion before locking the vise in again. Show picks Orton up to the top rope and chops him over the top to the ground below.

Orton tries to fight back with a thumb to the eye followed by a dropkick and the Gateway DDT. Following the two-count, Orton then delivers the Mental Dissection. But when he goes for the RKO, Show bounces off and drops him again. He then delivers the Chokeslam, but Orton manages to get his foot on the rope. As Show goes for the Knockout Punch, Orton slithers out of the ring. Orton would rather take the count out than get back into the ring with Big Show as Show gets the count out victory.

Back in Texas, Triple H is trying to figure out what is going on with his partner. After a child tosses a bowl of tater tots into the face of HBK, Triple H tries again to talk him into coming back. As Shawn tries to talk down the offer, his grill catches fire. After extinguishing the flames, HBK returns and tells Hunter he’s got two words for him: “I’m listening.”

MVP vs. Chris Masters

The two pick up where they left off two weeks ago with Masters getting early control. Masters begins to focus on the lower back and neck area of MVP, but Porter starts to fight back with a belly to belly followed by the knee drop. After delivering the Ballin’ Elbow Drop, MVP goes for the Drive-By, but counters the Master Lock into the Playmaker to pick up the win and get a measure of revenge on the man who prevented him from Beating The Clock.

After the bell, MVP gets a visit from Swagger, but Masters is able to lock in The Master Lock thanks to the distraction. After Masters releases the Master Lock, Swagger drives MVP to the ground with the Swagger Bomb.

Back in Texas, Triple H continues to talk sense all the while helping Shawn run the grill in the cafeteria. All of a sudden, Shawn’s boss comes in and berates Michaels. Shawn comes around and super kicks the boss. Shawn takes Triple H on his offer, but before he does, he finally super kicks the whiny little brat before giving his former co-workers two words: “I QUIT!!” Also, a woman passing by helps them finish their trademark sentence: “S*CK IT!!”

Back in Calgary, The Sarge continues to poke fun at the Canadians by setting up a possible return of Bret Hart…only to get “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan instead.

Hornswoggle & Mark-Swoggle vs. The Legacy

Chavo comes out in street clothes and says that he is unable to compete, but he has found a replacement tag team…Legacy.

DiBiase gets dropped on his ass several times by Mark-Swoggle before tagging in Cody Rhodes. Rhodes comes in and gets pressed to the ground. Legacy tries to get control of the match, but it is Henry that drops both men with a double suplex. Ted gets leveled followed by Rhodes. Mark then catches DiBiase in the air and delivers the World’s Strongest Slam.

But Ted moves out of the way of the Tadpole Splash and delivers Dream Street to Hornswoggle. After the bell, Legacy makes it clear that they are not intimidated by the reformation of D-Generation X.

In the back, Chris Jericho almost guarantees that he will defeat John Cena tonight. Big Show comes in to talk about his match. But the camera continues to roll as Jericho begins to trash not only Calgary, but also Canada in general. But Jericho doesn’t know that the cameras are still on until Josh Matthews informs him of what we already know…his crowd may just turn on him tonight.

Back on RAW, we find out that next week’s Guest Host in my hometown of St. Louis will be Freddie Prinze, Jr. Following the rundown of the current Summerslam Card, Calgary once again is rocked by the arrival of John Cena.

Main Event

John Cena vs. Chris Jericho

Jericho starts off with a shoulder block, but as he goes for The Walls, Cena slips out to recompose himself. Both men try to size each other up, with Cena getting the upper hand with a shoulder block followed by a headlock. Jericho gets the advantage back with a baseball slide that sends Cena to the outside. Back in the ring, Jericho continues to deliver the punishment as the crowd begins to will Cena back to his feet.

Cena recovers and delivers a pair of flaying shoulders following the Beantown Bomb. Cena almost gets caught by a small package, but Cena fights out of it. Cena goes for the Attitude Adjustment, but Jericho counters it into the Walls of Jericho. Cena manages to roll out of the Walls and lock in the STF. Orton comes back in and causes the DQ.

Jericho catches Cena off the distraction with a Codebreaker. After Orton sends Jericho out of the ring, Big Show drops Orton with a choke slam. The Sarge returns to the ring and makes a huge announcement: Big Show-icho vs. Randy Orton and John Cena next week in St. Louis. With that, Cena and Orton eliminate the World’s Largest Athlete before Cena and Orton set up an AAKO (Attitude Adjustment Knock Out) on Chris Jericho before pacing around each other with RAW going off the air.

If anyone paid attention to my iMPACT Slamback article last night, I said that "The PW Section was on strike..." and it seems like that was a false statement. This would be the time that I would apologize to everyone I supposedly offended, but this will not (and most likely ever) happen again.

Why? Because of several writers deciding to go on strike due to Bleacher Report's "lack of respect."

Allow me to be the one to clear the air.

Subject One: If you want respect, you have to earn it.

In life and sport, even in writing, you have to earn your stripes. Do you honestly expect to be at the top of the world from article one? My first article was knocking Kobe for his actions in Eagle, Colorado. But it was my second article trashing Michigan that got everyone's attention.

When it comes to respect, I had it before I became the Community Leader of the Pro Wrestling Section. But when I disrespected a member of the Community, the entire world called for my head. In the end, I was removed as CL, and Shane and JLB were brought in to fill the void that I supposedly left for being away on personal and professional matters.

From where I'm standing, I see that the section is now calling for a stronger babysitter due in large part to what they say is "a lack of respect from Bleacher Report as a whole."

Which brings me to Subject Two.

Subject Two: Bleacher Report vs. Pro Wrestling Section

You claim that Bleacher Report shows you no respect, but if I see this right, they have shown you respect. When I see an article from our section placed on the front page, it makes me smile. When I see one of our illustrious writers make the front page, I become more convinced that they made the right decision.

But when I see several articles bashing the very organization that made you who you are today, that's when I have to take a step back and ask you simply...

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING?

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but you guys are making it seem like everyone on the site is out to destroy the Community. Do you honestly expect everyone to bow down at your feet at first glance? Bleacher Report is a proving ground. It always has been, and it always will be.

I can't say that it isn't a stepping stone, but on the other hand, I can.

I have been here either just as long if not longer as most of you on the Section. But I can't back you guys up if you continue to trash and bash the very people that not only allow you to write on the site, but also advertise yourselves to other sites as well.

Subject Three: Don't back down. Keep doing what you do best.

Now that I have made my say to a point on some matters, let's focus on what you are good at. It's obvious that if you're able to acquire 2000 bodies to the Bleacher Report and the Section, then you're obviously doing something right.

So don't go on strike because you want to feel that it's the right thing. Go on strike because you know that it's the right thing. You're tired of being unheard? Then do something to make yourself heard. Tired of being disrespected? Then show them that you're better than they expect you to be.

Tired of being insulted by others? Then kick them in the balls and move on for crying out loud.

But either way, you are only hurting your own future by refusing to do what you do best. This section has without a shadow of a doubt some of the best writers in the world. That's not an exaggeration...that's a proven fact. So keep writing...because if you don't, your enemy/nemesis/target wins.

Subject Four: Worthless Excuse for Advertisement

Now that I'm not the Community Leader anymore, I can officially say exactly what is on my mind. JLB, I feel that you are one hell of a writer, but you set yourself up with the wrong individuals. Ray makes a living on being controversial, and it's obvious that his temper will not allow him to take criticism greatly.

As for M, well you already know the history between the two of us.

I feel your pain to branch out and make a name for yourself, but how can you possibly bash the very people that felt that you were worthy of being the Leader of 2000 followers?

Now, you got Shane, a well respected writer and the sole CL of the Section now, advertising for your site on their site? Where's the fairness in that? You know you're wrong for what you did, and I hope you learn the errors of your ways. Do I feel insulted that you didn't ask me to write for your little militia? Absolutely.

But will I insult the very organization that made me, you, Shane and others one of the most dangerous entities in journalism history?? Not a chance.

Why? Because you have to work smarter, not more ignorant.

I'm sure that The Wrestling Daily will strive in its own way, but for you to have Shane, the Community Leader of the Bleacher Report Wrestling Section, advertise for it is living proof that you don't have the Section's best interest at heart.

Finale: My Unofficial, Official Ten Cents

If the section will not write for itself, then it will be up to me to continue the trend that I started over three years ago. It's clear that if no one else will do it because they feel disrespected, then it's up to one of The Originals (and yes, I can call myself that) to resurrect the thunder that this section had before all this political garbage took over.

So if anyone else wants to retire, resign or quit, go right ahead. I'm sure that there are 2000+ people who would love the chance to make a name for themselves and your departure.

So I'm just curious, who will the Powers that Be choose to secede JLB as the new Co-Community Leader? Better yet, will they continue to allow Shane to continue advertising for another site on their site?

Translation: If you want some publicity, why don't you do like everyone else and ask if it's fine for you to advertise on the section? It has worked for TNA, WWE, PW Headlines and several other wrestling sites. Do you think they wouldn't say yes to you? Highly doubtful, but if you continue to make complete asses out of yourself, you bet they won't care won't you think.

When it comes to respect, you always have to earn it. Not even I will give you that on a Silver Platter. I earned my respect by writing. I earned my title of Senior Writer by giving every side of the spectrum. I earned my right to speak my mind because these guys gave me the outlet, and I'm showing my respect and appreciation by using it.

Take control of your destiny. This is Bleacher Report: Love it or Leave it.

Following a recap of this past Sunday’s Night of Champions’ World Heavyweight Championship Match, SmackDown goes live to a raucous crowd in Ray Lewis’s backyard of Baltimore, Maryland. All of a sudden, the new World Heavyweight Champion, Jeff Hardy makes his much anticipated arrival to the ring.

Hardy starts off by saying that he is a free spirit, he has beaten to his own drum and the only drug he’s on now is being World Champion. He then focuses on the future…mainly CM Punk’s rematch and his title defense against John Morrison tonight. As Hardy prepares to leave the ring, Cryme Tyme heads down to the ring for their match, but to also celebrate Hardy’s hard fought title victory at Night of Champions as SmackDown takes its first break.

Cryme Tyme vs. The Hart Dynasty (#1 Tag Team Contender’s Match)

Shad gets control early with a huge shoulder block that sends DH Smith rolling back to his corner. Tyson Kidd gets the blind tag, and he is able to take advantage of it with a kick to the legs of Shad. The duo continue to focus on the long tree trunks of Shad Gaspard as they ram him into the steel steps.

Back on the show, DH picks up where Tyson Kidd left off by throwing every submission maneuver in the arsenal at the big man of CTC. Smith locks in a Single Leg Boston Crab, all while shoving his boot into the back of Smith’s head. Despite Kidd trying to keep the tag from happening, Shad manages to shove Kidd aside and bring in JTG. JTG drops Smith off the apron before delivering a leg drop from the top rope to Kidd. But Tyson delivers a springboard neck breaker to slow the pace down.

Shad drops DH Smith on the outside while Kidd and JTG fly around the ring. But in the end, JTG delivers the Shout Out to get the pinfall victory and become the #1 Contenders for the Unified Tag Team Championships when they face Jerishow at Summerslam. After the bell, the Tag Champions make their way out to talk trash to the new #1 Contenders.

Jericho applauds them before grabbing the stick and bragging about the accomplishments of both men. But Shad quickly jumps on and speaks Wookie to the language prone Big Show. JTG jumps on and makes them remember Monday night. Just like Monday night, the Tag Champions try to save face by comparing accolades before they leave the arena.

Michelle McCool and Layla vs. Eve Torres and Melina

Layla and Eve continue their expired rivalry as they slug it out to begin the match. McCool comes in and continues the punishment with a set of knees to the head. Eve fights out of the headlock and is able to tag in Melina. Melina comes in and drops Layla with a farewell and a high knee. But as she goes for the Flashing Lights, McCool drops her with a kick to the face. McCool jumps in goes for the Fatebreaker, but Melina counters it into the Hollywood Bomb to get the pin and the victory for her and Eve.

In the back, CM Punk confirms that Hardy’s victory was indeed an upset, but he makes it clear that everyone should be Straight Edge like him.

Dolph Ziggler and Mike Knox vs. Finlay and Rey Mysterio

Ziggler and Mysterio pick up where they left off from last Sunday as Rey intends to pick up where he left off, but Mike Knox drops Mysterio with a huge splash before delivering more punishment. Mysterio tries to fight back with a enzugiri that allows him to tag in Finlay. The Irishman comes in and drops Knox with a set of clotheslines and the Irish splash. Finlay then drops Knox with a Guiness Rollover.

As Finlay tries to continue the pressure, Knox nails a bicycle kick and manages to slightly injure Finlay. Ziggler returns to the ring and continues the assault on Finlay. Finlay tries to tag, but Ziggler maintains control as Knox returns in to deliver a Half Nelson to keep the Irishman grounded. Finlay continues to show signs that he needs to tag as Ziggler and Knox continue the assault.

Knox misses the knee, but Ziggler is able to cut Finlay off from making the tag briefly as Mysterio comes in and explodes on Ziggler. Mysterio continues the high flying assault with a set of dropkicks. Mysterio delivers the 619 and drops Knox in the process before dropping him with the West Coast Splash. Thanks to Finlay’s elbow, Mysterio gets the roll up on Dolph to get the pinfall victory over Ziggler and Knox.

In the back, the current #1 Contender for the World Championship, John Morrison, starts off by congratulating Jeff for winning the gold. He agrees that tonight that they will create a spark that will be felt all over the WWE Universe. Afterwards, The Great Khali prepares to make his way to the ring.

Charlie Haas vs. The Great Khali

Haas tries to slug it out and use his speed to get control, but Khali makes it clear that overpowering him would be pointless. Following a vicious chop, Khali delivers the Khali Chop before aiming for the Punjabi Plunge. But Kane makes his appearance and tries to kidnap Ranjin Singh. Khali gives chase but it is Kane who appears to have the last laugh for a brief moment.

In the back, both Hardy and Morrison are preparing for their epic World Heavyweight Championship main event.

World Heavyweight Championship Main Event

John Morrison vs. Jeff Hardy

Hardy and Morrison show mutual respect before the bell, but when the bell rings, they both dish out everything they can to get the upper hand. Morrison gets control by using his feet and a huge clothesline. Morrison applies the pressure with a reverse chinlock. Hardy bounces back and delivers a jawbreaker, but Morrison bounces back and launches him over the top rope before delivering a springboard moonsault as SmackDown goes to its final break.

Back on the show, Morrison has a severe headlock applied back in the ring. The two began to slug it out until a near fall makes things neutral. Hardy counters the Starship Pain and nails the Whisper in the Wind for only a two-count. Hardy continues the pressure with the infamous Hardy Leg Drop. Hardy applies a headlock, but Morrison fights his way out of it to deliver a backbreaker/side Russian Leg Sweep combo. But he then delivers a standing 450 Splash.

Morrison nails a few punches before delivering a huge neck breaker to continue the control. Both men go up top and slug it out on the top rope, but both men hit the knockout punch that sends them to the ground below.

The two return to the ring and start to slug it out until Morrison gets the advantage with a clothesline and dropkick. But Hardy bounces back with a double leg drop and dropkick. But it doesn’t take long for them to take the fight back to the outside, where Jeff whips Morrison into the security wall, and Hardy takes it to the next level with the Crash and Burn Leg Launch.

Morrison counters both the Twist of Fate and the Whisper in the Wind to deliver the Running Wisdom. But Hardy again manages to kick out. Hardy ducks the springboard dropkick but can’t dodge the second dropkick. Morrison delivers the Chuck Kick, but he only gets a two-count again. If they were gunning for a match for the ages, they are succeeding. Morrison goes for Moonlight Drive, but Hardy hits the inverted suplex followed by the Swanton Bomb. One, Two…Morrison KICKS OUT!!!

Hardy goes for the Donkey Punch, but Morrison gets the feet up enough to send him to the other side. Morrison misses the Starship Pain again, and Hardy nails the Twist of Fate followed by the Swanton Bomb to pick up the win and remain the World Heavyweight Champion. Quite a Five Star Performance from both men and a true Five Star Match tonight to end SmackDown.

But after the bell, CM Punk makes his first official appearance to the crowd and makes his way to the ring. Punk raises the hand of Hardy twice before grabbing the stick and nailing Hardy with it on the head. He then launches Hardy out of the ring and takes the fight outside. Punk continues the punishment on the security walls.

A bloodied Hardy is being decimated at the hands of the former World Champion before Punk drives the elbows to a limp Hardy. Punk loses his shirt and begins to walk away…but the worthless dog decides to return and launch Hardy over the announcers table.

Punk struts his way back to the back with a huge smile on his face, knowing that if Hardy hadn’t competed in one hell of a match just a few minutes before, it would be a different story.

Punk then announces that next week on SmackDown, he will invoke his rematch clause and take back “my World Heavyweight Championship back.” Hardy begins to stir as Punk continues to smile with SmackDown going off the air.

Next Week On SD: Will Punk return to the top of the mountain? Or will Hardy show that Night of Champions was more than just a mere upset? It's CM Punk vs. Jeff Hardy for the World Heavyweight Championship next week on Friday Night SmackDown!

After a monumental Night of Champions, RAW goes live with the arrival of WWE Hall of Famer Jerry “The King” Lawler to introduce tonight’s Guest Host: Newest Cleveland Cavalier, Shaquille O’Neal!

The Diesel comes out firing with the announcement that there will be a Five-Man Beat The Clock Challenge to determine the #1 Contender for the WWE Championship at Summerslam. The Five men are: Triple H, MVP, Jack Swagger, Mark Henry & John Cena! As Shaq gets the crowd ready, Chris Jericho comes down to interrupt the insanity that Shaq is causing.

Jericho immediately comes out and starts insulting tonight’s guest host until Shaq plants a smooch on Jericho’s forehead. As Shaq toys with one half of the Unified Tag Team Champions, Jericho makes it clear that he has once again been disrespected, and Shaq better take notice.

As Shaq goads a fight, Jericho then calls out his tag team partner: The Big Show. Sporting the old school Undertaker goatee, Show makes his way to the ring and stares literally eye to eye with the 15-Time NBA All Star.

Show picks up where Jericho leaves off before telling him to get out of the ring. Shaq responds by challenging Big Show to a match right now. Big Show does everything in his power to back out of the challenge. But Shaq has other plans for the Tag Champions: In the form of Cryme Tyme. But as Jericho and Show leave the ring, Shaq makes it known that tonight’s match will have a special enforcer: Shaq!

Following chants of “Christina” from the DC crowd, we are informed that the Beat The Clock Challenge is next!

Beat The Clock Challenge

Mark Henry vs. Carlito

Carlito plays the role of spoiler by staying outside the ring to avoid conflict with the World’s Strongest Man. But it doesn’t take long for the physicality to begin as Henry catches a flying Carlito and tosses him back into the ring. Carlito continues to avoid confrontation with Henry but manages to get a brief advantage.

Unfortunately, it is brief as he meets a brick wall not once but twice.

Henry focuses on the clock before missing the Big Splash. Carlito goes on the offensive after the miss with a springboard dropkick. Henry fights out of a sleeper hold, but Carlito guns for the sleeper again. The WSM starts fading, but manages to strengthen his way out of the hold again. Carlito showing his dumb side by going for the Backstabber, and Henry takes him down with the World’s Strongest Slam to pick up the win and set the time at 6:49.

Following a rewind from last night’s Divas Championship Match, and a look at the Washington Redskins in attendance, we are graced with some smoking hot Divas.

Mickie James, Gail Kim & Kelly Kelly vs. Beth Phoenix, Rosa Mendes & Alicia Fox

Beth and Gail start the physicality with Phoenix showing her strength and Kim showing her agility. Kim shows her agility by locking in a Japanese surfboard, but thanks to Rosa’s distraction, Beth is able to get control of the match as she tags in Alicia Fox. Kim manages to slip out of Alicia’s grasp before tagging in the new Divas Champion.

Mickie goes on the assault early with a reverse neck breaker and flying head scissors. Kim returns into the ring with a blind tag to deliver a missile dropkick to ensure the victory for Team Mickie. As a fuming Phoenix looks on, Michael Cole is in the back.

Shaq is in the back having some fun with Hornswoggle before Michael Cole busts out “Shaq-alicious,” forcing the boss for the night to leave the office shaking his head.

Beat The Clock Challenge (Time to Beat: 6:49)

MVP vs. Chris Masters

The crowd is still in shock at the return of The Masterpiece as the bell rings and the time begins to drop down. MVP goes for a quick roll up followed by a samba takedown. But Masters shows no ring rust as he guns for the Master Lock but settles for a devastating clothesline. MVP gets some offense going with a kneeling clothesline before countering the Master Lock once again.

On the outside, Masters uses his intelligence to keep MVP from getting back in the ring, and after locking in the Master Lock and forcing a double countout. Because of the Double CO, the time to beat is still 6:49 held by Mark Henry.

Brian Kendrick vs. Kofi Kingston

Kendrick is attempting to berating Lawler for last week’s embarrassing loss. But he doesn’t realize that the bell has rung, and as he turns around, he gets dropped with Trouble in Paradise. Kofi picks up his easiest (and undeniably quickest) victory.

But in the back, Triple H is ambushed by Ted DiBiase on his way to the ring to face Cody Rhodes.

Beat The Clock Challenge (Time to Beat: Mark Henry with 6:49)

Cody Rhodes vs. Triple H

Rhodes immediately guns for the injured left leg of Triple H. But The Game shows what he’s made of by not backing down from a fight. The Game applies a headlock takeover as the clock continues to count down. Rhodes finally gets his big break as he takes several shots at the leg, including wrapping it around the steel post twice.

Back in the ring, Rhodes turns his focus and his attack on the injured left leg of Rhodes. With about three minutes left in the match, the gameplan of Legacy begins to take its toll as the clock drops to 2:30. But Triple H starts to fight back once again.

As Triple H goes for the Pedigree, Rhodes delivers a chop block before locking in the Figure Four Leglock. But The Game manages to break out of the submission and delivers a clothesline with about 60 Seconds left in the match. Triple H delivers the Spinebuster.

Thanks to Ted DiBiase, too much time is wasted as he delivers the Pedigree with one second left on the clock. Therefore, Mark Henry continues to have the time to beat.

In the back, Shaq is playing Scrabble to Santino when he takes a moment to give some last minute pep talk with Cryme Tyme before Santino busts out a freestyle rap. Doesn’t take long for him to be sent packing by the CTShaqC.

Hornswoggle vs. Chavo Guerrero

Before the bell, Lillian informs Chavo that he has to face Hornswoggle…blindfolded. As the bell begins, Chavo is feeling around trying to find the sneakiest Leprechaun. After diving out of the ring, Chavo gets an advantage…for a brief moment. After a close encounter with the referee, Hornswoggle gets control with the Bullpuppy.

Chavo uses a sneak peek to deliver a dropkick, but instead of going for the cover, he decides to go for the Frog Splash (bear in mind he’s blind as a bat right now). As Chavo prepares to fly, Hornswoggle is just waiting on the outside. Hornswoggle delivers the Tadpole Splash to pick up his fourth victory over the Mexican Warrior.

As Randy Orton prepares to enter the arena, Jack Swagger comes in to inform Orton that even though Triple H didn’t beat the clock, he plans on doing just that. As Orton looks back over, he stares eye to eye with the man he could possibly be facing at Summerslam, Mark Henry.

Beat The Clock Challenge (Time to Beat: 6:49 by Mark Henry)

Jack Swagger vs. Evan Bourne

The bell rings, and the clock begins counting down as Bourne ducks any takedown chances from Swagger. Swagger shows his strength, but Bourne shows off his agility with a head scissors takedown. Swagger continues the pressure by slamming Bourne hard to the ground. Swagger then locks in a Key Lock to keep the Aerial Maestro grounded.

Bourne starts fighting back with a kick in the corner, but Swagger bounces back with a toss followed by the Sooner Splash. Swagger then prepares for the Swagger Bomb, but opts to inflict more damage on Bourne instead.

But as Swagger goes for the Swagger Bomb, Bourne counters into a modified roll up to pull off the unthinkable. Bourne pins Swagger to keep Swagger out of the WWE Championship Match at Summerslam. As Swagger looks on in disbelief, we learn that John Cena will have to face an old foe in order to Beat The Clock and advance to Summerslam to face Orton: The Miz.

Before the final BTC Match, Cole and King take a look back at the screw job delivered by Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase to Triple H. Following the footage, Triple H sees the error of his ways…in the form of Legacy. He then issues a challenge to Rhodes and DiBiase for next week’s RAW. With that, The Miz makes his way down to the ring for yet another encounter with John Cena.

Miz comes out trash talking the fans of Washington, DC. From the Wizards to the Redskins, no one is safe from the comments and spewing of The Miz.

Beat The Clock Challenge (Time to Beat: Mark Henry’s 6:49)

The Miz vs. John Cena

As the show returns, Randy Orton has made his way to the ring for a “closer” look at the last BTC Match. Following a few poses, the Chain Gang General makes his way to the ring to a raucous DC Crowd.

The bell rings, and the clock, as well as Miz’s unbeatable strategy, officially begin. The Miz starts out by slipping out of the ring, but his plan hits a snag as he realizes that in order for his plan to work, he has to get back in the ring. Back in the ring, Cena goes on the assault. But as Miz slips out, Cena is one step ahead as he drops him with a clothesline.

Miz finally gets on the offensive with a reverse chinlock as the WWE Champion looks on. Miz sends Cena to the outside and rams him into the steps to continue the pressure on Cena as the clock drops to 3:20. Cena barely makes the ref’s count. Miz locks in the ropes, but trouble only gets started as Cena locks in the STF. Miz has no choice but to tap out, and Cena wins the Beat The Clock Challenge with 2:22 to spare. After a brief staredown between the two, Cena celebrates with the Universe.

In the back, Shaq is making his way to the ring for arguably the “biggest” main event in RAW’s history.

Before the bell, we are informed that after tonight’s huge guest host, we will have to settle for Jeremy Piven of Entourage and the new movie, “The Goods.” With that, Shaq makes his way to the ring for tonight’s main event.

But thanks to some quick thinking, Regal gets complete control in the match. Christian is in some serious trouble when he bounces back with a spinning elbow off the top rope, but Regal again manages to get control once again by shoving Charisma off the top to the ground below.

Back in the ring, Regal continues the pressure on Christian’s neck before launching him into the turnbuckle before getting dropped out of the ring again.

Back on the program, Regal continues the punishment on Christian’s head by applying a modified Full Nelson. But all of a sudden, both men throw elbows at the same time, and Christian is once again on the outside of the ring.

Back in the ring, Kane takes complete control with a falling dropkick before applying a hard headlock.

As Kane awaits Khali’s arrival, Morrison slams the chair on the back of Kane. Khali then tries to grab the leg of Kane, but the Big Red Monster manages to slip away.

Khali makes it clear that this war is far from over as he celebrates with the crowd as Superstars goes of the air.

Following the footage from last week, Mick Foley makes his way to the ring to talk about Victory Road and last week’s assault from the Main Event Mafia. Foley says that he makes it clear that he intends to win back the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. But he also realizes that if Angle remains champion at Victory Road, the company could possibly go straight to hell. So he calls out Angle to the ring, and Angle quickly makes his way to the ring.

Foley lets Angle know that he has let all the things that the Mafia has done to him slide, but what Eric Young did last week he could not accept. He also makes a guarantee that he will not tap out at Victory Road. His second favor is that their match this Sunday is just between the two of them, one on one. As Angle begins to preach to Foley, former Mafia member Sting makes his way to the ring.

Sting makes it clear that all that Angle preached is a load of crap. He then says that Sunday, all hell will break loose. But until Sunday, Sting wants one last piece of Kurt Angle. But before Foley can answer, Angle accepts the challenge and makes it a Six Sides of Steel Match.

While Mike Tenay and Dumb West give the rundown of tonight’s broadcast, they receive word that Samoa Joe is decimating Amazing Red in the back.

In the back, Lauren is interviewing Sarita about her debut match tonight against another new TNA Knockout, Alissa Flash. Meanwhile, JB tries to get Angle’s thought process about his decision to face Sting with the Six Sides of Steel surrounding the ring. Angle makes it clear that the only way to rid the Mafia of Sting is to eliminate him before Victory Road.

Chris Sabin vs. Suicide/Homicide vs. Suicide for the X-Division Championship

This match is almost pointless due in large part to Dumb West making himself the center of attention. But luckily, Suicide keeps things entertaining. Sabin goes for the Cradle Shock, but instead delivers a boot to the chin. But Suicide bounces back and delivers the Suicidal Solution to pick up the win. After the bell, Shelley comes in and helps Sabin knockout Suicide. Homicide comes in and clears sthe ring…only to cash in the X Division Championship Briefcase.

Homicide delivers the Gringo Killer to pull off the unthinkable and become the new X Division Champion.

Intermission: The Beautiful People

Following the elimination, the Mafia takes complete control of the match. But James Storm manages to tag in and take the fight to Scott Steiner. But thanks to Booker T, Steiner nails the Wolverine to get the pin and eliminate James Storm. It is now down to all three members of Team Mafia against Robert Roode.

All three men, take the fight to Roode, but a Book End looks to be the end of the match. Unfortunately, Booker is not done yet. Steiner comes in and delivers a Belly to Belly and places one finger on the chest of Roode. Nash comes in and continues the mugging on Roode with knees to the gut. As Nash goes for the pin, the ref is distracted long enough for Roode to deliver a low blow and get the pinfall to eliminate Nash from the match.

As Mysterio begins to insult him in his native tongue, Ziggler makes his way out to explain his actions…even more says that he did it to make a name for himself. Mysterio then lets it be known that Ziggler has done nothing more than show that he’s a peacock.

Ziggler gets insulted after Rey makes it clear that he’s beaten better than him. Ziggler then decides that he will not fight Rey tonight…but at Night of Champions for the Intercontinental Championship, a challenge that is quickly accepted by Mysterio. Mysterio then calls Ziggler to the ring to properly introduce him to the 619. Dolph makes his way towards the ring, and after getting chased, almost gets caught with the 619.

Orton comes out and makes it obvious that he is the WWE Champion before turning his attention to the Guest Host of the Night. Triple H then jumps in and says that he should face Orton tonight. After Orton makes it clear that both he and Cena will lose tonight, Triple H then offers to drop him right here right now. Orton then leaves the ring, only to have Seth Green let him know that Legacy will team with Orton to face Triple H, John Cena…and himself?

As all three men stare each other down, Kelly Kelly makes her way to the ring for the Six-Diva Swimsuit Spectacular.

Six Diva Swimsuit Spectacular Match

Kelly Kelly, Gail Kim & Mickie James vs. Maryse, Rosa Mendes & Alicia Fox

Team Kelly gets control of the match right off the bat with control of Rosa and Alicia. But Rosa uses her cunning skills to get brief control of her opponent before tagging in Alicia Fox. Fox applies a headlock, but Kelly manages to get herself out of the submission before delivering a clothesline. Both women tag in Night of Champions opponents Maryse and Mickie. Mickie has complete control with a hurrcanrana followed by the Lou Thesz Splash.

An all-out catfight ensues that allows Maryse to get complete control with the Au Revoir to pick up the win over her Night of Champions opponent.

After the bell, Chris Jericho interrupts Seth Green by boasting about himself and insulting the fans as well as his Boss for the Night. Green finally has enough of Jericho’s antics and decides that it’s best for him to leave RAW and the building tonight. Jericho then decides that he has something to say and will say it tonight before leaving Seth’s office.

Primo vs. The Miz

Nothing much here except for thanks to Carlito, The Miz picks up the win. After the bell, Carlito continues to punk his brother, even going as far as to spit his trademark apple in his face. Sorry people, but Albert Pujols was up in the Home Run Derby, so that took precedence to this match.

Following a quick rewind from Hornswoggle, Big Show comes in and cracks jokes at the expense of Seth Green.

MVP vs. Jack Swagger

Swagger is completely thrown off his game right off the bat, and has no problem letting Cole and King know about it. Back in the ring, Swagger gets control after shoving MVP into the steel post. But MVP bounces back and delivers the Ballin’ Elbow Drop to continue the pressure on Swagger. But Swagger uses the injured arm to unload the Swagger Bomb to get his first official victory as a member of the RAW roster.

In the back, Jericho struts his way towards the ring to make his speech.

Intermission: Edge’s Surgery and Jericho’s Speech

Jericho comes out and insults the fans, Seth Green, even his former partner, Edge. He then reveals that he placed a clause in his contract that says that in the event that Edge would be injured, he would be allowed to choose a new partner. Just as he says that, Mark Henry makes his way down to the ring. Henry decides that he didn’t come out there to be his partner…he came out to be his opponent instead. With that, Henry begins to decimate one half of the Unified WWE Tag Team Champions. Jericho slides out of the ring and begins to walk away until it becomes clear that Jericho will be fighting Mark Henry via the announcement by RAW Host Seth Green.

Chris Jericho vs. Mark Henry

Henry shows complete dominance throughout the beginning of the match, and as Jericho tries to get an advantage, Henry levels him with a brick wall tackle. Jericho then decides to walk out of the match and take the countout loss as Henry celebrates in the ring.

Hornswoggle vs. Chavo Guerrero (Has to Wrestle with one hand tied behind his back)

Hornswoggle shows his fun side by kicking him in the keister. As Chavo tries to get control, Hornswoggle bites his hand delivers some punches. Hornswoggle has complete control as he delivers the Stinkface before getting caught with a boot to the mouth. Chavo shows that mean streak by stomping on the little guy, but as he goes for the Three Amigos, Hornswoggle gets the small package to pick up his second upset victory over the Latin Warrior.

In the back, Ted DiBiase is talking about his actions last week when Cody Rhodes drops a bombshell that Dusty Rhodes might be next week’s Guest Host. After a heated encounter with his Legacy partner, Orton makes it clear that their job is to take out Cena and Triple H. But as for Seth Green, Orton intends to take him out…personally.

Big Show vs. Evan Bourne

Bourne tries to fight the good fight, but Big Show uses his raw power and size to get control of the match. He then applies a Butterfly submission and turns it into a Butterfly Toss before walking on the abdomen of the high flyer. And despite all his efforts, Bourne gets dropped with a Spear followed by the Colossal Clutch as Show gets the win. When Show refuses to break the hold, Kofi Kingston comes in and delivers two kicks to the World’s Largest Athlete to send him packing.

In the back, Santino is sent away by Triple H and John Cena, who grace their partner with their presence. Following a quick punk out by the duo, Seth Green takes another hit from his inhaler before wiping the sweat from his brow. Before the break, we find out that next week’s RAW Telecast at NC State University will two guest host: ZZ Top!

Six Man Tag Team Match

The Legacy vs. Triple H, John Cena & Seth Green

Cena and Triple H have control of the match, and shockingly enough, Seth Green tags in and delivers a huge punch to Cody Rhodes. As Rhodes gives chase, Triple H levels him on the outside. But thanks to Orton, Legacy gets control. Orton comes in and nails the Rope DDT. A set of double teams allows Legacy to continue the assault on Cena. Cena powers out of the Full Nelson, but both men deliver a pair of huge clotheslines. Orton comes in, followed by Triple H, who nails the Harley Race High Knee followed by the Facebuster.

Triple H takes out Legacy before delivering a Spinebuster to Orton. But thanks to Legacy, Orton hits the RKO, but Green jumps in to make the save. Orton then drops Green with a kick to the gut. Rhodes comes in with a steel chair, but Triple H brings in his trusty sidekick, the sledgehammer. After clearing the ring, Triple H and Cena stare eye to eye with on another. The crowd begins to chant “SETH!” as his partners celebrate the victory before staring down his opponent for Night of Champions.

As Seth Green rides the shoulders of Triple H, and Cena throws the “You Can’t See Me” to Legacy, RAW goes off the air, knowing that ZZ Top is coming to RAW next week as the next Guest Hosts.
