RAW:
We open with a recap video of the "Bragging Rights" pay per view last night.
Chris Jericho and Big Show (JeriShow) open tonight's show as they hit the ring with the trophy Jericho's Team Smackdown won last night due to Big Show turning on the Raw group. Show starts by saying that despite what he did last night, he's still a proud member of the Raw roster. Jericho interupts him by saying he doesn't have to explain. Jericho says that Show did what he did because he's a man of loyalty to him and that supersedes his loyalty to Raw. Big Show says there's something he needs to tell him, but Jericho says there's something also he needs to say. He thanks Big Show for stopping D-X and punching Triple H. He gives him kudos.
Chris Jericho vs Kofi Kingston
We're back and the match is just now getting underway. They lock up and Kofi pushes Jericho up against the ropes, but Jericho quickly goes outside to walk around a little bit. He gets back in and Kofi again takes him back up against the ropes, but the ref breaks it up. He then charges Jericho, but Jericho takes advantage with a kick to the gut. He then throws Kofi into the corner, charges, but Kofi counters with a kick. Kofi hits a big dropkick and goes for a pin, but Jericho kicks out.
Kofi begins to work over Jericho's left arm with a couple of knees. He goes for another cover, but only gets a two count. Jericho regains the offense advantage and starts working over Kofi with punches and kicks, followed by a headlock. Kofi works his way back to his feet, throws Jericho off the ropes, but is hit by a shoulder block. Jericho then runs the ropes, but is hit with a leg kick that makes Jericho roll to the outside. Kofi leaps through the ropes and hits him with a shoulder while he's on the outside.
They make their way back to the ring and while Kofi is delivering punches in the corner, Jericho throws him off onto his back. The ref starts a 10 count on Kofi and makes it to 6 or so before Kingston gets up on the apron. Jericho does his usual dropkick sequence and nails it sending Kofi to the outside mat. This takes us to a break.

We're back and Jericho is in control. He applies a headlock again. Kofi starts working his way out of the headlock with a couple of punches...goes off the ropes and Jericho tries for a knee, but Kofi reverses into a roll-up for a two count. Jericho quickly follows with a pin of his own that only gets two. Chris starts taunting Kofi, but is met with more punches as Kofi tries to gain momentum. Jericho attempts a running bulldog, but Kofi counters and sends Jericho into the corner. Kofi hits the Boom Drop and then Jericho tries the Walls of Jericho quickly after. Kofi counters.
After a series of exchanges, Kofi goes to the top rope, but is met with a punch from Jericho. Jericho attempts a superplex from the top, but Kofi counters and throws Jericho off face first. He does a cross-body, but Jericho counters into a pin for a two count. Kofi goes for the "Trouble In Paradise", but Jericho counters and tries to put the Walls of Jericho back on. Kofi counters again into a pin for a two count. Jericho then hits the "Code Breaker", but takes too long to pin him and Kofi kicks out at two. Chris then argues with the referee and as he turns around, he's met with the "Trouble In Paradise". He covers and gets the three count!
WINNER: Kofi Kingston
We come back with a promo pushing Sheamus' debut tonight on Raw.
Melina/Santino Marella vs Jillian/Chavo Guerrero
The bell sounds and we're starting off with the men. Chavo taunts Santino and slaps him, but Santino punches him and lands a back bodydrop. He then hits an elbow, but misses an elbow drop which allows Chavo to take over with punches and kicks. Jillian takes a cheap shot on Santino while he's there in the corner. Chavo goes for a pin, but a kick out. He continues with kicks, but misses a clothesline and Santino hits a hip toss. Chavo takes Jillian in and she slaps Santino. He tags Melina in and she does a pretty cool reversal, but Jillian lands a huge clothesline. Hornswoggle comes out and distracts Jillian and Chavo and it allows Melina to hit her leg drop finisher thing and get the three count. Sloppy finishing sequence by the ladies.
WINNERS: Melina and Santino Marella
We come back with a video recap of the Cena/Orton match last night and Cole makes mention that this was Cena's 7th title win. Justin Roberts tries to announce John Cena to the ring, but Legacy comes out instead (just DiBiase and Rhodes). They head to the ring with microphones.
Cody Rhodes talks first saying that the "Champ is...not here". Rhodes said that Cena was going to have to wait because The Legacy is here. DiBiase says just because Orton can't fight Cena for the title, they can and at Survivor Series, they will be bringing the title back to The Legacy where it belongs. He continues by saying that they didn't ask the guest hosts for this because they didn't have to. They are making a direct challenge to Cena. DiBiase says that he can face one of them or both of them. They're cut off by Cena's music and the WWE Champion makes his way to the ring.
Large "Cena" chant before he starts talking. He finally begins and says that he doesn't have to brag about last night. It was exactly what it was supposed to be: the very best competing in one final showdown. He said that he can speak for Orton and that both of them were exhausted following the match. He said the reason they went to those lengths was for them and for the WWE Championship. They also did it for all of the fans and most importantly, they did it because the John Cena/Randy Orton rivalry needed to end and it did.
Cena then says that everyone is excited about Raw because they want to know who he'll be facing, but he mocks the idea that they're excited about his opponent being Legacy. Rhodes says their not Randy Orton and he agrees. Cena says that the truth is he beat Randy Orton last night and he earned the right to say "No more" to their feud, including Legacy. He then says that if they want a shot at the Championship, they need to fall in line like everyone else and work for it because "that's how it's done around here". He continues by saying that the two of them haven't earned it yet. He asks the crowd and they agree.
Cena says that he was talking to the Raw guest hosts about the two of them having a match tonight and they need to get ready for their opponents. He motions to the entrance and MVP's music hits. He and Mark Henry make their way to the ring and apparently, that tag match is next.
The Legacy vs MVP/Mark Henry
We're back and Legacy have the offense advantage. Rhodes has just been tagged in and is working over MVP with punches. He then puts a crossface type of headlock on him, but MVP doesn't give up. We get a shot of Logano and Busch in the back watching the match on the monitors. MPV finally makes a tag to Henry and he comes in fists and elbows blazing. He then lifts Rhodes up by the neck and holds him there, but DiBiase makes the save with a clip to the back of the leg. He then gets the tag and comes in with a ton of kicks and punches.
He takes him to their corner and he and Rhodes tag in and out a time or two taking turns with kicks and chokes. Another tag to Rhodes he puts a headlock on Henry. He then tries to hit MVP, but MVP counters with a punch of his own. MVP tries to get in the ring, but the ref keeps him back while Legacy double-team Henry. Another headlock applied to Henry by Rhodes. Henry gets out of it by delivering a VERY high back bodydrop. He then makes the tag and MVP comes in with suplexes, punches, and elbows on Ted DiBiase. He then delivers the "Ballin" elbow drop. Rhodes makes the save on the pin attempt.
MVP does a sunset flip over DiBiase into a pin and while DiBiase is wabbling trying to avoid the pin, Mark Henry clotheslines him from the ring apron and MVP gets the 3 count.
WINNERS: MVP and Mark Henry
The Miz vs Evan Bourne
They lock up and Miz takes control with some kicks. He goes for an early cover, but a quick kick out. He then starts choking Bourne with a knee against the second rope, followed by a belly-to-back suplex. He places a sit down, double-arm submission and the ref asks Bourne if he wants to quit. Bourne doesn't and Miz continues the move. Bourne finally makes his way to his feet and after a couple of quick counters, Bourne hits a double knee drop and gets a one-count. He then has a series of offense move with a leaping hurricarana being one of them. Another pin, another kick out.
Miz regains control and Jack Swagger makes his way out to ringside. He takes a microphone and says that no one is watching Miz's match. He said that the real person everyone is watching is Eve who is sitting down at ringside. He said or maybe it's Eve watching him and who can blame her. Miz comes outside to confront Swagger and as they are arguing, Bourne flies with a cross body and lands on both of them. Bourne then jumps back into the ring before the ref counts to 10 and wins the match.
WINNER (via count-out): Evan Bourne
Sheamus vs Jamie Noble
Prior to the match, Sheamus gets on the mic and says that it's his first night on Raw and he's here to make an impression. The match starts and Noble hits a kick, but Sheamus hits him with a shoulder block that sends him to the outside. Sheamus follows and runs him into the steel steps. He rolls Noble back inside, follows him, and hits a couple of elbow drops. He covers but pulls Noble's head up before the three count. He then takes Noble up to his shoulder for a submission type of move. Noble fights out and lands a couple of kicks, but Sheamus throws him into the corner. Noble moves when Sheamus charges and tries a roll up, but Sheamus fights out and knees him multiple times in the corner.
Sheamus continues with a series of knee drops to the back of Noble's head while he's laying flat on the crowd. Sheamus picks Noble up and hits a couple of back breakers and when Noble reaches his feet again, Sheamus hits a huge boot to the head and gets the victory.
WINNER: Sheamus
Triple H vs Big Show
Big Show and Chris Jericho (still carrying the trophy he won last night) are already in the ring once we return. The D-X music then hits and Triple H and Shawn Michaels make their way to the ring. The bell sounds and they lock up, but after Triple H gets away, he gets a microphone and says that the Raw guest hosts made a change to the match. It's now a Lumberjack match and the lumberjacks are all the guys Show screwed over last night. Henry, Swagger, Chris Masters, MVP, Rhodes, Santino some others come out and send Jericho takes off through the crowd to the back.
Shawn then takes the microphone and says that the match is also a No Disqualifications match. He dismisses the official and says they have a special referee for tonight's match. John Cena's music hits and he comes out in a ref shirt. Once in the ring, Big Show charges Triple H, but Triple H ducks and pulls down the top rope sending him to the outside. The lumberjacks start beating on Show as we go to a break.
COMMERCIAL
We're back and both are back in the ring. Big Show has the offense, but Triple H quickly gets control. He jumps on Show's back and applies a sleeper which Big Show breaks by flipping Hunter over his shoulders. Big Show charges Triple H, but H moves and attempts a bodyslam, but Show falls on him. Big Show lifts Hunter up by his hair, throws him off the ropes, but Hunter kicks him. He then runs at Show but is met with a huge spear.
Big Show then starts standing on top of Hunter near the ropes as Shawn and the other lumberjacks look on. Show then delivers a series of slaps to the chest in the corner. The men outside the ring start rallying the crowd behind Hunter and he starts battling back with punchs, but Big Show hits a sidewalk slam. Cover and a kick out at two. Big Show then starts squeezing Hunter's shoulder and delievers four headbutts. Hunter does the crotch chop taunting Show but that only pisses him off. He hits a bodyslam and as he runs the ropes, Chris Masters grabs his leg. Show grabs him and brings him into the ring and takes him out with a big punch. This allows Hunter to regain the offense though as the match continues.
As Hunter is trying to take Big Show down with some running shoulder blocks, Big Show finally catches up and attempts a chokeslam. Hunter reverses it into a DDT. Big Show goes for the Pedigree, but Show reverses it with a back bodydrop. With Hunter down near the corner, Big Show goes to the second rope and hits a splash. He covers Triple H, but as Cena is counting, right before three, he jumps up holding his hand like he hurt it. Show gets up and gets in his face as Cena smiles and tells him to turn around.
He gets drop-kicked by a couple lumberjacks and then all of them come in taking turns on him. Bourne nails his Shooting Star Press and Santino gets in and starts mocking him. He chokeslams him but is then nailed with the "Trouble In Paradise" by Kofi. Cena follows it with the Attitude Adjustment. Michaels is now in the ring hits the Sweet Chin Music, followed by the Pedigree from Triple H. A cover and Cena counts to three.
WINNER: Triple H
After The Match: The Raw guest hosts come back out while Cena, Michaels, and Triple H are standing in the ring. They thank the crowd for letting them guest host the show. Kyle says that they've been thinking all night about who should face Cena at Survivor Series for the title. He says they couldn't agree until one guy made them agree. Hornswoggle's music hits and they announce that at Survivor Series, it's going to be a triple threat beween Cena, Michaels, and Triple H for the WWE Championship. We go off the air with them staring each other down in the ring after just hearing the news.
Jerry Lawler puts it over as "every man for himself" at Survivor Series.

Page 1 of 3: 1 2 3 Next >>
Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff have signed with TNA Wrestling. The announcement was made at a press conference in New York City earlier today. There were SPIKE TV and TNA banners up at the press conference, and Jimmy Hart was present with Hogan. CNN's Larry King Live had a camera crew there shooting footage for tonight's Hogan appearance.
Until today, the signing was kept a secret to even the inner-most members of the TNA circle. According to a source, Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff coming into TNA does not mean that they will take the reigns of the company.
Eric Bischoff introduced Hogan, who talked about TNA and stated he was becoming a "partner" in the company and that he was feeling great and looking forward to being a part of the company. The conference left the impression Hogan may be involved as a personality, but not wrestling for the group.
TNA President Dixie Carter gave a short speech saying she was looking forward to working with Hogan and that while they have great ratings for a Thursday night, Hogan would be the "boost that TNA needed." SpikeTV's Kevin Kay was also in attendance and gave a brief statement about the network working with Hogan.
The Q&A session was said to mostly be fluff fan type questions, although one fan did ask Hogan whether working with Vince Russo would be an issue. Hogan responded that as long as Russo stayed in his place and didn't cross him, there would be no issues. Hogan then said that if he did, Hogan would have to take care of it.
When the topic of Eric Bischoff came up, Hogan did not say Bischoff was working with him in TNA but noted they have other side projects they are working on.
Eric Bischoff will not be involved with the day-to-day creative direction of TNA. His partnership with TNA is via his Bischoff-Hervey Entertainment company. Bischoff played a major role in getting Hulk Hogan to sign with TNA, and will now be working on getting TNA new TV programming.
TNA's deal with SpikeTV allows them to shop new shows around to other networks if Spike passes on them, so Bischoff will be trying to get TNA new shows. TNA has had interest in the past in launching new shows for the Knockouts, the X-Division, and the online Spin Cycle show.
Bischoff may appear on TNA programming in the future, but that isn't a given. The former Vice President of World Championship Wrestling has been quite critical of the organization in recent years as he's questioned their creative direction and labeled them as a minor league operation. Most recently, Bischoff told The Sun in a February 2009 interview that neither him nor Hogan were interested in joining TNA.

Taker quickly responds with a big boot to calm him down. Batista and Rey argue over who to try a pin attempt on Taker. Rey finally goes to pin him but Taker grabs him by the throat from his back.

Team RAW vs. Team SmackDown
-D-X, Mark Henry, Big Show, Kofi Kingston, Jack Swagger & Cody Rhodes vs. Chris Jericho, Kane, Matt Hardy, Finlay, R-Truth & The Hart Dynasty
The SmackDown team has blue SD! shirts on. Team RAW has red RAW shirts on. Well, D-X has their own D-X shirts on. Swagger's shirt is ripped off early into the match, so he's the only "skin" to the rest of the "shirts." Now that the attire recap is out of the way, back to the match! Very good match. The finish came when Big Show screwed over his teammates on RAW and hit the knockout punch on Triple H. This allows Jericho to pick up the pin on Kingston for the victory. I was surprised that team Smackdown won, if you look who the wrestlers were but then again the "Big Slop" had to ruin it for Raw.
Winners: Team SmackDown
WWE Title:
(Iron Man Match)
-Randy Orton (c) vs. John Cena
Early in the match, Cena slaps the STF on Orton. Orton taps out almost immediately, putting Cena up one fall to none. After the restart, we get a rest spot already (about five minutes into the match). Not a good sign! Cena hits a leg drop off the top rope. He does his "you can't see me" 5-Knuckle Shuffle spot. Before he can drop the punch, Orton pops up and hits an RKO out of nowhere for a clean pinfall. Things are even now with each man holding a fall over the other. So e're all tied up. On the floor, an announce table is cleared off and Orton blasts Cena with one of the announcer's monitors. Orton slams a microphone into Cena's head next. Cena is bleeding now. A trainer tries looking at Cena's cut but Cena pushes him aside and bull-charges Orton. Orton cuts him off in his tracks and is again in control of the offense. We have a double-pin spot for the next fall, so each man gains a point. It's 2 to 2 now. Soon thereafter, Cena hits the Attitude Adjustment off the top for a pinfall and another point. The score is 3-2 Cena now. Legacy runs down and is beating down Cena now. They pull Orton across Cena's body and Orton gets the pinfall, tieing things up again. The score is now 3 to 3. Kofi Kingston comes down with a chair to chase Legacy to the back. Orton slams Cena into some equiptment and we get a pyro explosion spot. Orton throws Cena into more props and we get more explosion pyro stuff. Orton pins Cena and regains the upper hand now, with the score being 4 for Orton and 3 for Cena. Still a while to go in this Iron Man match though. A few falls later, the score is now tied again at 5 and 5. Only about ten minutes left in this Iron Man match, so our finish is coming soon. Orton gets mad at a situation and knocks out the ref. Time is almost up in the Iron Man time limit. Cena is down and Orton is waiting for him to get up to land the punt finisher. Cena avoids it and slaps on the STF. Orton eventually taps, giving Cena the edge in the score, 6 to 5. Time expires and we have a new WWE champion. You know going in it was going to be a brutal match but reading on the internet why it was shorter than expected on the time for the match Vince was worried backstage on the bleeding of the new champion.
Winner and NEW WWE champion: John Cena

Teddy Long is the worst GM in wrestling, he should see what Jim Powers is doing and go back and manage him.
Chris Jericho starts things off. Bragging Rights hype. JTG interrupts, then Vickie Guerrero interrupts. JTG's better on the mic. Eric Escobar comes out, then Dolph Ziggler, then Drew McIntyre. Finally, Kane. Kane & Jericho run down their team for not being ready and set up a 4 on 5 tag match, because Shad is sick. Same stipulation as Raw's 5 on 5 match, where if a team member is pinned, the person who pinned him takes his place.
- 1st Match - Eric Escobar, JTG, Drew McIntyre & Dolph Ziggler vs. The Hart Dynasty, Finlay, Matt Hardy & R-Truth. Long match. Hardy pins JTG with a Twist of Fate after Finlay with a shillelagh hit. So, Matt is now on Team Smackdown.
- CM Punk, Scott Armstrong and Teddy Long are in the back talking about the screw job. Armstrong bails out, but runs into Vince McMahon.
- 2nd Match - John Morrison vs. Mike Knox. Morrison wins with Starship Pain.
Yes you saw it with your own eyes, Mae Young slapped McCool.....
3rd Match - Batista & Mysterio vs. Jericho & Kane. Pyrofest 2009. Batista pins Kane with a spear after Mysterio scarifies himself to Kane on a chokeslam.
- Vince McMahon talks up tonight's main event. Armstrong caved in. Taker-McMahon WrestleMania 26 foreshadowing here. Vince blackmails Armstrong by saying Bullet Bob could go in Hall of Fame this year if he cooperates.
Did you honestly think the Undertaker was going to let CM Punk win on Smackdown? There is no chance in hell like Vince would say.....

TNA Results
Kurt Angle comes out by himself says he is in the ring without a family and its been a year since they started the Mafia. He says they were not about job security, it was about respect. He sees that the roster is evolving and growing up talking about the talent of Eric and AJ, focusing on how AJ strives to be the best. Then moves on to Morgan's talent. He says that he now sees the locker room as his peers and he wants to fight alongside them.
Out comes Rhino who says the Mafia is no more. He says TNA management wants to phase the vets out to make room for people like Morgan and Hernandez. Kurt says maybe they earned it, but Rhino disagrees.
Now 3D comes out and Brother Ray is screaming at Rhino about what he did to him at BFG (Crowd is ALL OVER Rhino). Rhino says 3D is in the same boat. He tells them maybe they should go in the back and check the card because they are not on it, while he has a match with Hernandez later tonight.
Matt Morgan vs. Scott Steiner
Before the bell, Steiner goes to Bobby Lashley's wife, Krystal Marshall who is sitting ringside. They have a back and forth match which ended up outside the ring near Krystal. Steiner throws Morgan back in the ring and goes after her. Lashley comes out while Hebner is preoccupied with Morgan and they brawl. Morgan wins with the Carbon Footprint.
AJ and Daniels vs. Joe and Nash
Nash and Joe win after Daniels goes for a tag but AJ moonsaulted onto Joe on the floor. Nash chokeslams Daniels and says he's going after Eric Young.
Rhino vs. Hernandez
Hernandez wins after a big splash off the top. While Hernandez is celebrating, Rhino attacks him. Hernandez gets in the offensive and 3D stops him from Border Tossing Rhino telling him that Rhino is not worth a suspension.
Nigel McGuiness debuts as Wolf Desmond during a backstage segment where he beats down on Kurt Angle.
Six Sides of Steel for TNA Tag Titles: Beer Money vs British Invasion (Champions)
Awkward setup as the teams actually have to tag in and out. Crowd is HOT for this match, however not happy with the result when Beer Money wins by DQ after Brutus knocks out referee Slick Johnson. Still Champions, British Invasion.
As the ring crew is taking down the six sides of steel Kurt comes out and calls out Wolf Desmond. He doesn't come out and as Kurt goes to the back he is attacked from behind. He sets Kurt up on the top rope and hits a Tower of London on Angle.
A very good impact, but is Booker T going back to the promise land of wwe to finsih his career?

Raw,ECW and Rumor of the week.......
Before I get started, just wanted to thank all the guys and letting me work with the team.
Monday Night Raw - The show opened with Snopp Dogg as the host for the night, and then we have the every Monday night Raw promo at the start of the show that takes up the first 20 minutes of the show. I thought the Randy Orton Ted DiBiase match was a joke where DiBiase couldn't fight back. However the 5 on 5 match with team Raw vs 5 jobbers in my eyes was boring, of course the match wasn't going to take long so nobody gets hurt for Sunday's paperview. The best match of the show was the Triple H vs John Cena match which they always have great matches. Did I see it right Marty
Jannetty was on Raw? Yea I guess he is trying to get back a contract to make his 9th comeback. Melina vs Jillian Hall, wasn't a bad match but Jillian Hall is not in Melina's league. Chris Jericho vs Shawn Michaels, you honestly thought they were going to make that a main event at the end of Raw going into a paperview? Not bad to end the show with both teams fighting, my thoughts on Bragging Rights is Team Raw should win easy. RIP - Caption Lou
ECW - Abraham Washington needs to go back to FCW, I would rather listen to Tony Atlas laughing in the background than his show. 1st match: #1 contenders match - Yoshi Tatsu vs. Zack Ryder. Tatsu wins with a flip into a splash. This was a jobber vs jobber match. 2nd match: Sheamus vs. J.T. Quinn. Shelton Benjamin runs in. Benjamin is over here. Great German suplex from Benjamin. I am just waiting for a commerical break. Paul Burchill promo. A fake Hurricane comes out, and the real Hurricane attacks Burchill from behind with black & green kendo stick. The main event was a great match, it was Jericho vs Christian. Glad to see a winner of a match for the night atleast. Christian wins with the Killswitch.
Rumor of the week - The rumor of the week is As a result of what happened during this week's WWE SmackDown! tapings, the Bragging Rights main event has been changed. The new main event is as follows:
-Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Big Show, Mark Henry, Kofi Kingston, Jack Swagger & Cody Rhodes vs. Chris Jericho, Kane, Matt Hardy, Finlay, R-Truth, David Hart Smith & Tyson Kidd.
