European Peeps Will Christian to Victory; Hurricane-Burchill Match Postponed?

Abraham Washington Show: Yeah... let's start it off this way. Abraham Washington, no doubt, feeding off the comedic routine Christian has built with Yoshi Tatsu: "Thank You" - "Thank You" - "No, Thank You" - "Thank You" - "Didn't I say that already?" - Real great stuff the WWE writers got going there... When asked who would leave Sheffield the ECW Champion, Yoshi Tatsu expressed Christian's tenacity in the ring would play a major factor... Then Abraham Washington took it old school, 11 years, when he recited the ever famous line, "Don't nobody understand the words that are comin' out of your mouth." That's right, Abraham Washington and Yoshi Tatsu had a Rush Hour moment, the polite Asian and the loud mouth, funny black man. The segment didn't go anywhere, didn't reveal any new challenges for Tatsu... it was a bust.

First Match: Paul Burchill vs. Goldust. Last week it was scheduled that Burchill and Hurricane would have the Mask vs. Career match in Sheffield, England; so what happened? It's unclear what exactly did go down, but best guess is that WWE didn't want to complete shatter the English moral by having Burchill possibly leaving ECW. However, after comparing the crowd reactions between Burchill and Goldust, I would have to conclude that the English people could have cared less if Burchill's dreams were shattered, as they were by "The Bizarre One," Goldust. It was insatiable how much the crowd rallied behind the California, American native. Yet, Burchill seemed to have the brute advantage, until The Hurricane appeared in the arena. With Hurricane running around the ring, it didn't take long for Goldust to capitalize on the distraction with The Final Cut. Despite winning the match, all the attention was focused on Hurricane smiling over Burchill's loss.

WWE Superstars Match Revealed: Shelton Benjamin vs. Zack Ryder. Backstage, Ryder confesses to Rosa Mendes that he likes her and invites her to sit ring side during his matches. Then we see a segment of Ryder and Rosa holding hands and skipping... This is the second time that we, the viewers, see what's going on inside the head of Zack Ryder. It's off putting to say the least to have mental visuals of another person's thoughts. I understand that Ryder's persona is from the 80's, but damn it, this is pro-wrestling! not 16 candles.

Second Match: Vance Archer vs. Jason Blackwell. Once again, Archer proves dominate in his match. But is this really the way to show the WWE Universe of what he is capable of? I for one am annoyed at these lousy exhibition matches. It doesn't do anything for the superstar to showcase four moves and call it a night. Archer tossed Blackwell around with a few slam variations and ended it with his finisher The Bull's Eye.

Main Event: (C) Christian vs. William Regal (ECW Title Match). It was a match that took up the better part of an hour, possibly the most intensified rivalry to go down in recent ECW history. The challenger, William Regal, has struck gold before in England; yet would the Blackpool native have the hometown advantage in Sheffield, and capture the long awaited ECW Title? Regal's fellow Englishmen and Christian's peeps escalated to a split decision in the crowds, chanting for both superstars. It was a grueling match and well worth watching, but the ending was literally unbelievable. Regal missed the knee trembler and locked in the Regal Stretch, how was Christian able to break free? The Regal Stretch forces your opponent to the ground, pinching the arms together making it damn near impossible to move, let alone have the arm strength to punch the attacker. I thought the third time would be the charm, but Regal failed once again in his quest for World Championship Gold. Or has he? Prior to the match, ECW GM Tiffany wished Regal luck and proposed, win or lose, that they should start a clean slate. Is Tiffany turning to the dark side, or is she seriously trying to make everyone to get along?

Jamie Noble Retires

Early Tuesday morning, WWE.com was contacted by Jamie Noble, who revealed his decision to conclude a seven-year career as a WWE Superstar and retire from the squared circle.

This regrettable announcement came hours after Noble was released from the medical facility where he sought treatment for injuries sustained at the hands of Sheamus one week ago on Raw and after years of nagging shoulder and neck injuries.

"Luckily, the doctors tell me I'm going to recover again," Noble told WWE.com in an article published earlier this week. "But I'm laying here thinkin' about how great my life is with my wife and my son. I'm thinkin', how many more times am I gonna be lucky enough to walk out of the hospital on my own? I'm thinkin' it might be time to hang up my tights and boots."

WWE.com and WWETheReturn wishes Jamie Noble all the best in his recovery and his career outside the ring.

Three Survivor Series Team Elimination Matches Revealed; Streak Broken; Undertaker Scheduled for Next Week

Native English Boxer, Ricky "The Hitman" Hatton hosted RAW in Sheffield, England. Question, didn't WWE already have a boxer as a host? Speaking of Mayweather, Jeri-Show interrupted and Big Show was willing to be the bigger man, quite literally, and allow Hatton the first punch across the jaw. Jericho ceased the exhibition to refrain from another WrestleMania XXIV incident, and to redirect Show's focus to the Triple Threat Match where Jericho assures his 6th title reign.

Let's break it down: Chris Jericho is the best he has ever been. He rejuvenated his career when he turned heel, becoming a multi-time World Heavyweight Champion and beating his own Intercontinental record to 9 reigns. He even jump started Big Show's career by allowing him to become the other half of the Unified Tag Team Champions.

Downside: Jericho has never been in the ring with The Undertaker, until this Friday.

Break it even more: Big Show is in the best shape of his life and is a force to be reckoned with. Jericho calls him the colossal killer, because the force and magnitude... Can anyone last recall when he was pinned? Probably not.

Hatton scheduled a tag team match between Jeri-Show and DX.

First Match: Alicia Fox w/Jillian vs. Kelly Kelly w/Gail Kim. I was actually rooting for Kelly Kelly, the lesser of two evils. These two are so bad, why has WWE gone for far down in quality? Alicia Fox went for the scissors' kick to the back of the head and got Kelly's back instead... I'll say it again, Alicia is horrendous in the ring.

Next week: Melina vs. Alicia Fox (Divas' Title Match)

At the Survivor Series: Mickie James captains the team of Melina, Gail Kim, Kelly Kelly, and Eve. Michelle McCool captains the opposing team of Beth Phoenix, Jillian, Layla, and Alicia Fox.

Second Match: Sheamus vs. Local. Last week, Sheamus almost killed Jaime Noble, who has retired from professional wrestling. And last night, Sheamus showed no mercy to the local Brit with a crucifixion power slam.

Third Match: Jack Swagger vs. Evan Bourne. In a backstage interview with The Miz, he talks about being the captain of an elite team of up and comers, and that with his guidance they will win against Morrison's team. Swagger interjected by claiming to be a better suit for the position of captain; he also advised to watch closely to his match against Evan Bourne. Swagger dominated most of the match, until The Miz, making his appearance, distracted him, which allowed for Bourne to pick up the win with The Shooting Star Press. I was disgusted by how WWE executed the end to Swagger's winning streak, it was not believable that Bourne would overcome Swagger so easily. But I sense a future United States Title defense against The All American-American.

At the Survivor Series: The Miz captains the team of Jack Swagger, Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre, and Sheamus. John Morrison captains the opposing team of Matt Hardy, Shelton Benjamin, Finlay, and Evan Bourne.

MVP’s VIP Lounge: MVP and Mark Henry welcomed their guest and captain of their Survivor Series team, Kofi Kingston. Kofi was praised for standing up against Orton’s tyranny and refusing to be bullied around. Yet, Legacy crashed the VIP Lounge, badmouthing the lounge for its pleather and $50 bottles of champagne. It was basically the rich white kids making fun of the poor minorities, until a fight broke out. Nice segway into our next match.

Fourth Match: Mark Henry vs. Randy Orton. The night Mark Henry was drafted from ECW to RAW, through the Trump Trade, he shoved Orton around in a gauntlet match as a testament to what he was capable of. It’s been five months since, and Henry finally gets his one-on-one with Orton. In the match, Henry was fatiguing a lot faster than Orton; I knew that Henry was not in the same shape as he was 10 years ago, but he is out of shape! The people of Britain demanded an RKO and they got it, Orton struck and won the match.

At the Survivor Series: Randy Orton leads Cody Rhodes, Ted DiBiase, CM Punk, and William Regal. Kofi Kingston will lead the opposing team of MVP, Mark Henry, R-Truth, and Christian; what is this, The Nation of Domination? Kofi’s team is an all black team with a single Canadian; looks as if Christian is this decade’s Owen Hart.

Fifth Match: Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton vs. Chavo Guerrero (Boxer vs. Wrestler). Really, we chose Chavo to represent professional wrestling? Hatton has won 45 matches, and 32 of them were by KO! Chavo’s record is more like he lost 45 matches, and 32 of them were by leprechaun. Chavo had his split second of grappling Ricky to the ground, but Ricky ended knocking him out. Congrats Hatton, you did something Cedric the Entertainer couldn’t, and that’s beat Chavo Guerrero.

Main Event: DX vs. Jeri-Show. John Cena accompanied King and Cole on commentary, and the three really deciphered the main event matches for the Survivor Series. If DX were to remain together throughout the match, then Cena’s chances of retaining his title would be slim; but if DX split up, a clash of egos would benefit Cena. The main focus was on Shawn Michaels, leading me to wonder if Shawn is being considered for another title reign. Big Show accidentally knocked Jericho out after Michaels avoided the mammoth sized fist. Show froze in disbelief and was knocked over the ropes by Triple H, giving Michaels the cover on Jericho for the win. After the match, the main event for next week was announced, a triple threat match consisting of DX, Jeri-Show, and John Cena and his partner… The Undertaker!

Main Event Announced for Next Week: DX vs. Jeri-Show vs. John Cena and The Undertaker.

Next Week’s Guest Host: “Rowdy” Roddy Piper.

Side Note: Next week’s RAW will take place at Madison Square Garden and will feature a new RAW theme song by Nickelback called “Burn it to the Ground.”

This Week's ECW: 11/03/09, WWE Superstars 11/05/09, & SmackDown: 11/06/09

From the Vault: SmackDown 2003 - The Undertaker vs. Rey Mysterio
Start Time: 1:08:45

Undertaker Tempting Survival; Batista Overturns Fate; A Champion Falls

On November 27th, 1991, The Undertaker won his first WWE Championship at the Survivor Series against Hulk Hogan; and eighteen years later, Undertaker will defend his 7th World Title at the same pay-per-view against the Unified Tag Team Champions, Chris Jericho and The Big Show. This Triple Threat Match will have nothing to do with the tag team belts, but it will focus solely on Undertaker's "Holy Grail." Taker tempts survival by pointing out his opponents' sins: The Big Show betrayed his fellow roster for an opportunity at the title; and Chris Jericho cost Undertaker a chance to face off against his brother, Kane. According to Undertaker, these two men will be tried at the Survivor Series and will be damned to the fiery depths of hell.

Chris Jericho intercedes and calls himself the Phenom, because he is more than just a man, while Undertaker is only a man. Which really calls into question, Taker's gimmick; who was once the Undead, then return as a mortal redneck motorcycle enthusiast, and revert back to the deadman? Quick Tombstone history for you: Taker was undead and walked with the assistance of the urn from Paul Bearer, but was buried alive and was gone. He returned as the undead who walked the earth generated by the souls he would lay to rest, and then he disappeared from the WWE for unknown reasons. And then he returned as one of us; he walked the world as a mortal and then was buried alive once again by his brother Kane, who hated the mortal Taker had become. And at WrestleMania XX, The Undertaker returned as the Phenom who would once again collect the souls of his opponents and lay them to Rest in Peace...

Next week on SmackDown: Chris Jericho vs. The Undertaker, in their first ever encounter. Might I say, it's about time.

First Match: Dolph Ziggler and Hart Dynasty vs. John Morrison and Cryme Tyme (6-Man Tag Match). Dolph Ziggler is methodically ripping apart his rival, John Morrison. Last week, he face busted Morrison, abdominal first into the announce table; and this week Ziggler picked up the win over his team after causing more punishment to the abs of John Morrison. The Guru of Greatness prides himself on his abdominal structure, and it's how he's been able to do the things that he does while in the ring. Ziggler is being very smart, take out what makes Morrison so great, and you have yourself an Intercontinental Title.

Second Match: Beth Phoenix vs. Brittney Carter. Are they seriously trying to demonstrate Beth Phoenix prowess on SmackDown, hasn't she proven her dominance enough on RAW? I understand Jenny Brooks, since she has a background in Strike force kick boxing, but a dancer! Beth Phoenix destroyed Carter with the Glam Slam.

Backstage Promo: We find out that Mickie James and Michelle McCool will captain the Divas' Survivor Series Teams. Also, Mickie has openly stated that she is coming after the Women's Title.

Third Match: Drew McIntyre vs. Jimmy Wang Yang. McIntyre knocked down Yang before the match even started. However, Wang, wanting to be the new Noble apparently, demanded that the bell be rung, and then got his taint handed to him. Drew connected with the Double underhook swinging snap DDT to end the match.

Fourth Match: Rey Mysterio vs. Mike Knox. As everyone already knows, Batista turned heel and destroyed Mysterio at Bragging Rights; because WWE has shown the clip at least once per WWE programming for two weeks now. Rey Mysterio has always been the underdog in every match he has gone into, and that's why this match was so perfect because the sheer size of Mike Knox will get Mysterio ready to face off against "The Animal," Dave Batista. The crowd was really behind Rey, cheering him on as he was pummeled to the surface of the ring. Then with a hurricanrana the momentum shifted, and the 619 connected giving Mysterio the win.

Survivor Series Update: Batista vs. Rey Mysterio has been match official.

Fifth Match: CM Punk vs. R-Truth. CM Punk hasn't been seen anywhere near the title picture, as he has been focused on Scott Armstrong, who cost him the World Title three weeks ago, and then eradicated the error last week. Surprisingly enough it would be Scott Armstrong who would be officiating Punk's match. R-Truth seemed happier, singing his entrance music a bit longer than usual; maybe it's because R-Truth would win his match against CM Punk. What had happened was, CM Punk was frustrated with Armstrong's slow count and demanded that he count faster; well, that's exactly what happened, because as soon as R-Truth went for a roll up, Armstrong counted fast and awarded the match to R-Truth. Is WWE pushing Truth? Or are they building up a one-sided feud with Scott Armstrong?

Main Event: Batista vs. Matt Hardy. This match came about as a result of Matt Hardy trying to impart his wisdom, his regrets, onto Batista. Matt Hardy knows what it means to turn on his brother and the terrible feelings that emanate once its unleashed, and to reconsider before it's too late. However, Batista only wants to destroy all that stands in his way from becoming the World Heavyweight Champion for the 6th time. And the commentators are split in picking sides - Batista or Rey Mysterio: Matt Striker believes Batista was in the right, Rey should have stepped aside and let him become the Champion; Todd Grisham, on the other hand, perceives Mysterio's point that it was a Fatal Four-Way and the title should be decided while everyone giving it their all, after all, isn't that the true spirit of a competitor? Matt Hardy really didn't have much of a chance against Batista, since he is all muscle. However, Matt did get some momentum and struck with the Twist of Fate; but fate was reversed as Batista dragged Hardy out of the ring and struck him with a monitor. Matt Hardy officially won the match; yet it was Batista who walked out with all the heated momentum heading into his match in two weeks at the Survivor Series.

WWE Superstars Results: Swaggin' Streak; Finlay Fails to Crack the Code

RAW Match: Santino Marella vs. Chavo Guerrero. The battle of the jobbers, to see who is the biggest jobber! Santino has become a real crowd favorite; before he was a bonafide heel, but with the RAW celebrity guest hosts, he has warmed up to the WWE Universe. King made a great point, Chavo is a great wrestler but his feud with Hornswoggle has ruined him. But what I've heard, Chavo is content with his position in the WWE, seeing as he is on RAW, being used every week, and gets to interact with all the guest hosts... Plus, Chavo is not in any high risk matches, so the Mexican Warrior has it made in the WWE. Santino Marella picked up with win with a small package roll up.

RAW Match 2: Jack Swagger vs. Primo Colon. This is a rematch from last week's WWE Superstars, pitting Swagger against Primo yet again. And it ended the same way, Primo attempts a Hurricanrana, which gets countered into the Gut-Wrench Powerbomb. Swagger is going 4-0 and living up to his promise to remain undefeated in singles competition. The first two were on RAW against Evan Bourne and MVP, and the last two against Primo on WWE Superstars. Maybe a WWE Title match in his future?

ECW Match: Paul Burchill vs. Tyler Reks. The match was boring as sin; honestly, why is ECW presenting this to the WWE Universe? I don't think that it's sending a positive message to the WGN America audience that ECW is the show to watch. Despite being a part of the June 30th ECW Superstar Initiative, Tyler Reks has scarcely been seen on ECW and there is a reason, he's boring. Reks hails from Laguna Beach, California with generic Surfer music and his wrestling style is plain. Burchill, on the other hand, is stuck in a feud with The Hurricane, which will come to an end this Tuesday on ECW, and has a really bad finisher: The Dangerous Buster, which is a mere Vertical Suplex pin combo. Burchill wins with said-so finisher.

SmackDown Match: Chris Jericho vs. Finlay. From Bragging Rights to Bragging Brawl, these two put up a decent main event match. What I appreciated from the match, was Striker and Grisham's recognition of Finlay's other accomplishments outside the WWE. And why? First off, because Finlay only has a meager U.S. Title run back in 2006; and, since his other title reigns were in England, this sets up for where RAW, ECW, and SmackDown will take place this upcoming week. Chris Jericho, of course, is the complete package, multi-time World Champion, first Undisputed World Champion, only 9-time Intercontinental Champion, and currently one-half of the Unified Tag Team Champions. He is literally one of the best, which is why I feel, if Edge doesn't come through for WrestleMania, Jericho should go at it for Taker's Streak. Chris Jericho won the match with the Codebreaker.

Sex in the WWE

Sexual Innuendos are creeping their way back in the WWE, which has recently changed its product to PG. But is it really a bad thing? The age old slogan advertisers have lived by is that Sex Sells; but I don't see this as WWE's move back to the raunchy attitude era, but a reinforcement of the PG standards. The standards for WWE programing is meant to target the whole family: Hornswoggle's antics for the kids, the young up and coming superstars for the boys, the divas, who are beautiful and strong for the girls, and the innuendos for the adults. Most family programming, especially PG movies are embedded with innuendos to target a larger audience; don't believe me, then check out the opening scene of the CGI film, Robots.

The first innuendo was targeted during a confrontation between John Morrison and Dolph Ziggler, in regards to Morrison's loss at Bragging Rights. Ziggler started bragging as if he had a hand in SmackDown's victory, in which Morrison noted it as being "premature," a feeling that Ziggler is familiar with, "just ask Maria."

The second was between John Cena, Triple H, and Shawn Michaels, in regards to their Triple Threat match at the Survivor Series. In order to gain the psychological edge, Triple H mentioned "beating" Cena two weeks ago; and Shawn mentioned how he "beat" Cena last year in England, which is where RAW will take place this Monday. But Cena countered by reminding them that he has "beaten" them both; so they have all "beaten" each other. The innuendo was realized when The Bellas, overhearing the conversation, grew disgusted and left.

And the latest addition occurred on ECW, as Zack Ryder fell for Rosa Mendes, ECW's newest Diva. Zack Ryder blocked her non stop talking with a romantic-groovy music with psychedelic colors radiating from Rosa. But when asked how did she look in her new dress, he shyly said, "You know it," and squeezed his hair styling bottle, squirted a film of gel. I guess this segment should be named, "There's Something About Rosa."

Let's just hope there are no innuendos regarding Vickie Guerrero and Eric Escobar on SmackDown.

ECW Blames Tiffany; Hurricane Accepts Burchill's Offer

After last week's assault, Christian has had it with William Regal and wanted him in the ring, one-on-one. But instead of Regal, Christian was greeted by the presence of ECW GM, Tiffany, who holds herself responsible because she has refused Regal's requests for an ECW title shot. And despite her pleas not to give in, Christian was ready to give Regal exactly what he wanted in order to get him into the ring. William Regal accepted the title match, but under his terms that the match takes place next week when ECW is in England. Then Tiffany made it official under the condition that Kozlov and Jackson be banned from ring side.

Next week in England, Christian defends the ECW Title against William Regal.

Tiffany has stopped being the adorable GM and has become really incompetent. If she knew how to run her roster then maybe she wouldn't be disrespected every week by the Ruthless Round Table. It’s her fault Regal keeps attacking Christian and everyone else in the title hunt.

First Match: William Regal vs. Goldust. This match is considered a break for Goldust from having his taint handed to him by Kozlov and Jackson every week. Regal won with the Knee Trembler.

Second Match: Shelton Benjamin vs. Zack Ryder. Backstage, as he was gelling his hair, Ryder met ECW's newest Diva, Rosa Mendes. She started going off on how much she loves being on ECW, while Ryder became smitten with the Spanish Import. And, as luck would have it, she was the special ring announcer for his match against The Gold Standard. Except that it was more like bad luck as the distraction from Rosa applying lip gloss cost Ryder the match. Shelton connected with Pay Dirt and is set back on course to a brighter future in ECW.

Promo: The Hurricane listens to Paul Burchill's proposal. The Emerald Skywalker, penned by Josh Matthews, entered the ring with his Hurri-Cane, incase this was a setup. Paul proposed one final match to end the feud once and for all: If Paul wins, Hurricane must unmask; but, if Hurricane wins, both Paul and Katie Lee must leave ECW. Is it really a punishment? It’s pretty much a win-win scenario for the Burchills, either they unmask their foe, or they move up to either SmackDown or RAW. It was idiotic for Hurricane to accept, but that's what heroes do, accept all challenges.

Third Match: Vance Archer vs. Logan Jones. ECW’s newest acquisition is a former TNA star, and a 2-time TNA World Tag Team Champion. Lance Hoyt signed a deal with WWE in April of this year; training in FCW, he made his ECW debut last night against a local jobber. Mainly an exhibition match, Archer finishes with a Snap Reverse DDT.

Main Event: Christian and Yoshi Tatsu vs. Ezekiel Jackson and Vladimir Kozlov. The match played more like a handicap match, as Yoshi fought with both members of the opposing side. Christian tagged in to handle Kozlov and Tatsu took out Jackson on the outside. Christian won the match with the Killswitch and then Regal arrived to take out Christian. The Ruthless Round Table destroyed the ECW Champion, is this a sign for things to come?

The Ozzman Cometh to RAW

Monday Night was one crazy train ride as the Prince of Darkness and his Queen shrouded the WWE in darkness. Sharon mentioned that this had not been the first time that Ozzy has been a part of the WWE: a montage shows that Ozzy was at WrestleMania 2 alongside the British Bulldogs, and on SmackDown, back in 2007, performing a single from his Black Rain album. When asked if he remembered, he humorously replied no.

The Ozzfest was interrupted by The Miz, Legacy, and The Big Show, all having qualms about last week: The Miz lost via count out to Evan Bourne due to a distraction; Kofi Kingston ruined DiBiase's gift to Orton; and the Big Show demanded an apology, which Ozzy hysterically did. Show did not mean from Ozzy but from the RAW roster for ganging up on him last week. DX showed up and plugged in Ozzy's new autobiography: I Am Ozzy, in stores early 2010, along with plugging in their own book, The Unauthorized Story of D-Generation X. With the help of DX, 3 matches were set for the night: The Miz vs. Evan Bourne for the United States Title; Kofi Kingston vs. Randy Orton; and a Triple Threat Match, John Cena vs. Chris Jericho vs. The Big Show.

First Match: The Miz defends the U.S. Title against Evan Bourne. After months of jobbing, Evan Bourne has finally been given a title match, after having defeated the Miz last week. Some may say it was a controversial win, but Miz shouldn't have lost his focus and left the ring to deal with Jack Swagger. This match marked Bourne's second title match; the first being for the ECW Title against Matt Hardy. But there are no signs of Miz losing the title anytime soon; there's a better chance of John Morrison losing the Intercontinental title before we see Miz pass the torch. A sure sign that Bourne was going to lose was the extra pause in setting up The Shooting Star Press, allowing Miz enough time to roll out of the way. The Miz retained his title by connecting with The Skull Crushing Finale.

Second Match: Sheamus vs. Jamie Noble. This match was too unbearable to watch. Sheamus said in his pre-match interview that he will end careers, I think he just did. Sheamus connected with The Irish Curse, Jamie's back was contorted on impact. Then he went for the big boot to the side of Nobel's face. The referee ended the match, but Sheamus wouldn't relent. It wasn't until Sheamus connected with a power bomb onto the outside floor, and Noble started crying in pain, that EMT's showed up. I actually liked Jamie Noble's gimmick, he's a funny guy and a great wrestler, and to reduce him to this?

Third Match: Kofi Kingston vs. Randy Orton. Really? My assumptions were realized as I saw these two go at it; Randy Orton has gone toe-to-toe with the likes of John Cena and Triple H, who has Kofi ever beaten? These two were seriously mismatched. Yet, it wouldn't be long until the rest of Legacy arrived.

Third Match (Restarted): Kofi Kingston, MVP and WSM vs. Legacy. The tag team of MVP and Mark Henry dominated Rhodes and DiBiase last week, but would it happen again now that Orton is in the mix? As you can see, after Hell in a Cell, the feud between Legacy and DX has been dropped. Does this mean Legacy can now start putting people over, or were the writers just bored with the concept? After losing two title matches against Jeri-Show the WWE has shied away from the duo of VIP in any title pictures. The match ended with Mark Henry connecting with The World's Strongest Slam on Cody Rhodes. Kofi may feel that he stood his ground against Randy Orton, but Orton is just too strong.

Segment: Ozzy, Sharon, and The Great Khali judge RAW's Got Talent. Jerry Lawler announced the contestants: Santino Marella; Chris Masters; and a duet between Jillian and Chavo Guerrero. Santino came dressed as Ozzy and his act was biting the head off a Bat... Man figure. He was voted off. Masters did a rendition of Crazy Train with his pecks. His pecks were flexing to the beat of the song, it was mesmorizing. Finally, Chavo and Jillian, mostly Jillian, sang an Ozzy duet. Even Ozzy, who is so burnt from all the drugs in his system throughout the years, hated Jillian's singing. When confronting the Osbournes, Sharon slapped the Spears from Jillian's mouth, and Khali chopped Chavo on the head. And of course, Hornswoggle, dressed as Jack Osbourne, preformed the tadpole splash on Chavo.

Fourth Match: Gail Kim, Eve, Bellas, Kelly Kelly, and Alicia Fox (Battle Royal to determine #1 Contender for Diva's Title). If this is the best that RAW has to offer, then there is a serious problem in the Diva's division. Aside from Gail Kim who is jobbing, all the other girls can't wrestle! The Bellas can be tough, but McMahon just wants them on RAW for their looks. When Eve eliminated both Bellas, there was a shimmer of hope. But it ended up with Kelly Kelly and Alicia feuding. Why in the world would the fate of the match rest with the 2 worst wrestlers in the roster? Alicia won the match, way to go, the only heel in the match, cause that was a hard one to guess...

Alicia Fox is the #1 Contender for Melina's Divas' Title

Main Event: John Cena vs. Chris Jericho vs. The Big Show. Before the match was a semi-hilarious skit between Cena and DX. Triple H and Shawn Michaels have beaten Cena in singles competition. In turn, John Cena has beaten both of them, each at WrestleMania. Cena even states that they have all beaten each other, which did not sit well with the Bellas overhearing the conversation. Finally, a sexual innuendo! The Triple Threat was really centered on the squabble between Jericho and Show, which resembled Batista and Mysterio's at Bragging Rights. Chris Jericho picked up the win after Show KO Punched Cena in the face, just to show that Big Show determines who wins and who loses. Then Jeri-Show started to apply added punishment with the Walls of Jericho and The Colossal Clutch, until DX, doing commentary with King and Cole, broke it up. However, Michaels also fell to the KO Punch, and Hunter to a head butt and Code Breaker. What will happen at the Survivor Series when The Undertaker gets into the ring with Jeri-Show?
