Last night's WWE Superstars featured a match from each show, and with Bragging Rights less than 2 weeks away, every match is crucial.RAW Match:" WSM" Mark Henry vs. "The Masterpiece" Chris Masters. This was the final qualifying match for the final slot on the RAW Team, captained by D-Generation X. Mark Henry is the world's strongest man, that is not a moniker, he is indeed, but how would he fare with a bum knee? The medical bands around the knee of Mark Henry was the result of his tag team match, with MVP, against Masters and Guerrero just 2 weeks ago on RAW. How fitting that Henry would have to face, possibly the most impressive specimen of human body sculpting, Chris Masters. The match seemed decent at first, but it was obvious who would win the match. With MVP losing his qualifying spot to Jack Swagger, it would only make sense that the other half of the tag team would make it. Masters, near the end of the match, attempted the Master Lock, but, as King said, his arms aren't long enough to wrap around Mark Henry. With a quick release of The World's Strongest Slam, WSM fills the final slot on the RAW team.
The RAW Team is finalized: DX, Cody Rhodes, Jack Swagger, Kofi Kingston, Mark Henry, and The Big Show.
ECW Match: Vladimir Kozlov vs. Tommy Dreamer. Last week, Dreamer and Goldust lost miserably to the team of Kozlov and Jackson, and this week would be the same in singles competition. Goldust already lost to Jackson on this week's ECW, it was only a matter of time for Dreamer to fall as well. Dreamer either did well for lasting so long in a match, or Kozlov allowed him to remain as long as he did. The Moscow Mauler focused on the right arm of Tommy Dreamer, vital to Dreamer's finishing DDT. But with an Iron Curtain, Kozlov proves dominate yet again.
Note: WWE Bragging Rights is a SmackDown vs. RAW pay-per-view, so ECW will not appear on the card.
SmackDown Match: Intercontinental Champion, John Morrison vs. CM Punk (Non-Title). Despite their run in for the ECW Championship back in 2007, Morrison (now a face) and Punk (now a heel) have jump started their rivalry. And so far the records stands 2-1 in favor of John Morrison. Filling in for J.R. on commentary, was guest commentator, United States Champion, The Miz. Both The Miz and John Morrison, former tag team partners, will face off at Bragging Rights. The Miz already knows everything there has to about Morrison's offense - so why was he there? - to screw up the match. It was obvious before the match started, it's classic wrestling feud 101. The Miz claims Morrison's downfall is his high flying, much like Jeff Hardy, and that in 2 weeks, the better of the team will emerge. Morrison had CM Punk set up for Starship Pain but The Miz interfered and attacked Punk, thus awarding the win via DQ to CM Punk. However, John Morrison got the last say-so by connecting with a Flying Chuck to the forehead of CM Punk. The record now stands at: 2-2.Tonight marks the return of The Dirt Sheet. What will these two have in store for each other on the Friday Edition of SmackDown?
