Pope on Feud with Joe & Working for WWE/TNA Posted by Steve Carrier on 02/14/2011 at 11:12 AM
- SunSport in the UK recently spoke to TNA star The Pope. Here are some highlights, courtesy of The Sun:
Promoting his own character in TNA versus WWE: "It all comes down to the promoting of one's character. That doesn't just involve the person themselves, but it involves the company, as well, that the individual is wrestling for. That plays a big part in what works and what doesn't work.
You watch the company up north and they will take a character and shove it down your throat. They tell you 'this is what we want to work so you're going to cheer or you're going to boo'.
Who remembers Elijah Burke but a diehard fan? Pope has become far more known than Elijah Burke ever was in the three years he was with WWE. What does that say about self-promoting? What does that say about TNA's promoting?"
His current feud with Samoa Joe: "I want you to keep a close eye on this situation. I'm going to show how it's going to be THE feud to watch in all of wrestling. You got Pope - I mean, you got POPE - then you got Joe. You got the Samoan Submission Machine, the guy is a monster in the ring, with his aggression and everything.
Pope will handle all the juckin' and jivin', pimpin' and the ridin'. Pope will handle all the talking, the charismatic features and abilities that should be applied in the ring. Pope is going to handle all the showboating. Joe's going to handle the rest. I think it's going to be a great complement to each other, being that we're both so different. When we get in the ring, magic is going to happen."
- Diva-Dirt.com reports that Isis the Amazon, who was to have appeared on the third season of WWE's NXT, is scheduled for a tryout match at tomorrow night's iMPACT! taping in Orlando, Florida.
The 6 foot 9 lady grappler teased her meeting with TNA Wrestling officials, writing on Twitter: "Heading to Orlando tomorrow.. & no, not to visit family this time ;)"

QUICK RESULTS: - Kazarian def. Robbie E to retain the X Title - Scott Steiner and Beer Money def. Rob Terry, Gunner and Murphy - Samoa Joe def. The Pope - Madison Rayne def. Mickie James to retain the Knockouts Title - Rob Van Dam def. Matt Hardy - Bully Ray def. Brother Devon - Jeff Jarrett def. Kurt Angle - Jeff Hardy def. Mr. Anderson to regain the World Title
- In the opening bout, Kazarian defeated Robbie E to retain the X Divison Championship. Travel issues prevented Jeremy and Max Buck from being at the PPV, so Robbie E demanded they be counted out and declared himself the #1 Contender. However, as Robbie E was leaving, Kazarian came out to say they would have the bout tonight instead! Kazarian won it with an inverted piledriver finisher.
- The team of Scott Steiner and TNA World Tag Team Champions Beer Money defeated Rob Terry, Gunner and Murphy after Scott Steiner hit a top rope Frankensteiner for the win!
- The Pope faced off against Samoa Joe. The Pope took the early advantage, but Joe was able to latch on his Clutch finisher! Realizing he couldn't escape, Pope quickly tapped out to the submission. After the bout, Pope attacked Joe and hit his DDE finisher on Joe into an exposed steel turnbuckle in the corner, busting open Joe's head in the process. After, an irate Joe chased Pope form the ring.
- Mickie James faced Knockouts Champion Madison Rayne with the gold on the line. Madison tried several times early to hit Mickie with her loaded glove, but couldn't. Later in the bout, Tara came down to distract Mickie, allowing Madison to pull a pair of brass knuckles and use them on Mickie to get the knockout punch! The referee then counted out Mickie - Madison Rayne retains the gold!
- Matt Morgan came to the ring to call out Hernandez, and the Mexican Superstar obliged! Hernandez told Morgan he left TNA to be with his culture in Mexico, and he realized who he truly is - and now it was time to stick it to the gringos! Hernandez then smashed Morgan and obliterated him, leaving him down in the ring!
- In an effort to get his revenge on Jeff Hardy, Rob Vam Dam had to go through his brother Matt Hardy first. The two longtime enemies traded plenty of offensive early on, but in the end it was RVD getting the win with the Frog Splash!
- In a Street Fight, it was Bully Ray vs. Brother Devon. Devon's sons eventually got involved in the bout, helping their dad hit his top rope dive on Bully Ray. But Ray made a comeback and handcuffed Devon to the corner. Devon's sons tried to help him, but Ray attacked them! After a big boot by Ray to Devon's son Terrell, Ray got the easy pin and win. Devon was unable to help his sons as he was still handcuffed! Bully Ray then powerbombed Devon's son through the table! After the heinous attack, TNA staff and security came out to try and help and had to remove his son via stretcher.
- In an amazing (and grueling!) bout between two sworn enemies, Jeff Jarrett battled Kurt Angle with very important stipulations. If Kurt won, he would regain custody of his kids. If Jarrett won, Kurt would be forced to walk Karen down the aisle to give her away to Jarrett on March 3! The bout featured back-and-forth action, with Karen getting involved several times. Both Jarrett and Angle nearly had each other beat several times. In the end, after nailing Angle with a steel chair, Jarrett managed to roll up Angle for the quick pin and the win. Angle is now forced to give away his ex-wife Karen when the Jarretts renew their vows!
After the bout, Kurt removed his wrestling boots and placed them in the ring and walked out - which Tazz ominously said that meant Angle "was done". Did we just witness Kurt Angle's last match?
- In the PPV main event, it was Mr. Anderson vs. Jeff Hardy with the TNA World Heavyweight Title on the line in a Ladder Match! It as a truly a historic battle between both Hardy and Anderson, with both trading insane moves using not one, but two ladders! In the end, both Hardy and Anderson battled atop the ladder, but they both came crashing down to the mat. Hardy got the upper hand and tossed Anderson out the ring, allowing him to re-climb the ladder and pull down the title! Jeff Hardy is ONCE AGAIN the NEW TNA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!
- Michael Tarver, who hasn't been seen on RAW or SmackDown since before the Royal Rumble, reminded fans on Twitter that he's "still coming, stay tuned." Tarver was in action at the FCW live events this weekend and was sporting a "grill" in his mouth.
- WWE officials have reportedly discussed doing a major heel turn with Kelly Kelly soon on the SmackDown brand. Vince McMahon is said to be high on Kelly. The turn will likely come out of her ongoing relationship with Drew McIntyre.
Alberto Del Rio def. Intercontinental Champion Kofi Kingston (Non-title match) Justin Gabriel def. WWE Tag Team Champion Vladimir Kozlov Drew McIntyre def. Chris Masters Wade Barrett def. Rey Mysterio Kane def. JTG Divas Champion Eve def. Layla World Heavyweight Champion Edge vs. Dolph Ziggler (World Heavyweight Championship Match)
GREEN BAY, Wisc. With WWE Elimination Chamber just nine days away, the future of the World Heavyweight Championship was left in a sea of uncertainty. And as SmackDown came to a close, the WWE Universe was left wondering just who is the World Champion?
World Heavyweight Champion Edge vs. Dolph Ziggler for the World Heavyweight Championship Match (WATCH | PHOTOS) Prior to the main event, the self-appointed Special Guest Referee Vickie Guerrero reaffirmed that Edges Spear was still banned. If he opted to use it against Dolph Ziggler, he would be disqualified and the acting GMs bleach-blond boyfriend would automatically become the new World Heavyweight Champion.
In the peak of the heated championship showdown, Vickie attempted to spear Edge herself, only to hurt her ankle. The Ultimate Opportunist seized the moment and hit the banned Spear on Ziggler two separate times. The Green Bay Packers' Clay Matthews then charged to the ring as a second Special Guest Referee, making the three-count to secure Edges victory. However, the outcome of SmackDowns main event became unclear when the injured Guerrero waved-off The Rated-R Superstar win. Who is the rightful holder of the World Title? Green Bay Packers come to SmackDown
Divas Champion Eve def. Layla (WATCH | PHOTOS) Still feeling the heat from being pinned by Kelly Kelly in the 3-on-2 Mixed Handicap World Heavyweight Title Match one week ago, Layla fell short yet again. Despite a distraction from Michelle McCool, the English-born Diva ended up losing her match after Divas Champion Eve reversed her pin attempt.
Kane def. JTG (WATCH | PHOTOS) Just nine days before Kane will attempt to reign supreme over five other Superstars at WWE Elimination Chamber, The Big Red Monster laid waste to JTG with a vicious chokeslam.
Wade Barrett def. Rey Mysterio (WATCH | PHOTOS) Preparing to represent The Corre at WWE Elimination Chamber, Wade Barrett set out to gain momentum over Rey Mysterio, another participant of the impending sadistic structure. Following a distraction from Justin Gabriel, Barrett did just that, defeating The Ultimate Underdog with Wasteland.
After the match when The Corre looked ready to continue their assault on Mysterio Big Show stomped to the aid of the masked Superstar. Though The Worlds Largest Athlete wrecked havoc at first, the combined force of his ruthless adversaries left him reeling on the canvas. This included an earth-shattering suplex by Ezekiel Jackson.
Drew McIntyre def. Chris Masters (WATCH | PHOTOS) Before Drew McIntyres match with Chris Masters could begin, the Chosen One took to the microphone, setting the blame for Kelly Kelly getting fired solely on the shoulders of World Heavyweight Champion Edge. Dedicating his match to the ousted Diva, The Sinister Scotsman reigned supreme over Masters with the Future Shock DDT.
Justin Gabriel def. WWE Tag Team Champion Vladimir Kozlov (WATCH | PHOTOS) One week after The Corres Justin Gabriel & Heath Slater scored a non-title victory on WWE Tag Team Champions Vladimir Kozlov & Santino Marella, Gabriel defeated Kozlov with the 450 Splash. Afterward, Barrett hit Wasteland on Santino and Jackson hurled Kozlov to the canvas with absolute force.
Alberto Del Rio def. Intercontinental Champion Kofi Kingston in a Non-title match (WATCH | PHOTOS) The 2011 Royal Rumble winner Alberto Del Rio celebrated the coming of Valentines Day by proclaiming all the love in his heart for destiny, which he claimed loved him back. Seeking retribution for Del Rios attack one week ago, Kofi Kingston chose the present over future destiny, attacking his smiling foe with the kendo stick and destroying Del Rios trinkets of celebration.
As the result of that assault, the two Superstars squared-off. And one week after Del Rio cost Kofi a place at WWE Elimination Chamber, the aristocratic Superstar triumphed over Kingston with the cross armbreaker Will destiny be on the side of Del Rio in the main event of WrestleMania?

- Ric Flair has reportedly decided to postpone surgery on his torn rotator cuff to continue the ongoing storyline between Immortal and Fortune. As noted before, Flair is scheduled for this week's TNA iMPACT tapings.
Further Update on Ric Flair's TNA Status Posted by Steve Carrier on 02/12/2011 at 08:34 PM
Currently there remains no word on Ric Flair's status with TNA Wrestling.
TNA has the Against All Odds PPV this Sunday and two sets of tapings on Monday and Tuesday coming up this weekend. Flair was not at the last set of tapings following the European tour, a tour that Flair ended up suffering a torn rotator cuff on. Reports indicate that no decision was made on whether or not Flair will undergo surgery for the injury.
Natalya def. Alicia Fox The Great Khali def. The Usos Tyler Reks def. Curt Hawkins Jack Swagger def. Trent Barreta

Jack Swagger def. Trent Barreta (WATCH | PHOTOS) Trent Barreta cant seem to get a win streak going. Suffering a series of losses in recent weeks on WWE Superstars, the talented youngsters woes continued tonight as he found himself outmatched by the cocky Jack Swagger. A former World Heavyweight Champion, The All-American American had a distinct advantage over his opponent in experience, size and confidence. This was clear as Swagger threw Barreta around the ring before finishing him off with a wrenching ankle lock submission. Better luck next week, Trent.
Tyler Reks def. Curt Hawkins (WATCH | PHOTOS) Talk about adding insult to injury. On last Thursdays WWE Superstars, the unpredictable Tyler Reks destroyed Curt Hawkins after the two men won a tag team match together. Embarrassed and angered by the attack, Hawkins was out for revenge tonight, but taking out The Dreadlocked Demolition Man is much easier said than done. Using his size and strength advantage, Reks was able to control the majority of the match and eventually put his opponent away with the Burning Hammer.
The Great Khali def. The Usos in a 2-on-1 Handicap Match (WATCH | PHOTOS) This unique showdown was billed as a Handicap Match, but The Usos looked like the ones at a disadvantage when faced with the massive Great Khali. After losing to The Punjabi Playboy in a dance-off on Raw two weeks ago, the young tag team was hoping to knock the big man down with a double-team attack. But the former World Heavyweight Champions size and power were simply too much from Jimmy and Jey to handle.
Natalya def. Alicia Fox (WATCH | PHOTOS) Natalyas comeback began tonight. After a disappointing few weeks in which she was embarrassed by Team Lay-Cool and lost her coveted Divas Championship, the Hart Dungeon-trained beauty started her rebuilding process with an impressive victory over Alicia Fox. Always a cruel competitor, the vicious Fox was not easy for Natalya to handle. But the determined Diva would not be denied and finally locked in a Sharpshooter for a big win.
We open the show with comments from various members of the TNA roster from this past weekend's house shows down south, then we go to the Impact Zone as Eric Bischoff comes to the ring with the remaining members of Immortal. He says that if anyone thinks that Immortal is going to take a step back because of what happened with Fortune, it's not going to happen because he's Eric Bischoff and he's spent the last 15 years building stars and companies and changing the face of the industry as we know it today. He doesn't give a damn about Fortune, and the only reason they were even in Immortal was because of Ric Flair who, by the way, owes him a phone call. He runs each of the members of Fortune one by one, calling AJ Styles a midget hillbilly, James Storm one beer away from liver failure, Frankie Kazarian the Clay Aiken of wrestling, and Robert Roode another Canadian with no charisma. Eric hands the microphone to his friend, the founder of TNA and the reason we're all here tonight, Jeff Jarrett. Jarrett tells Fortune to come out right now (which they do), and Jarrett tells those BOYS to grow a set and come talk face to face with some real men. Fortune comes down to the ring and goes face to face with Immortal (crowd starts a big AJ Styles chant), and Jarrett apologizes to Eric Bischoff for what happened last week, because nine years ago he gave every member of Fortune an opportunity when they were flipping burgers and begging him for a job, and this is how they repay him. This isn't even talking about the disrespect they've shown the biggest box office attraction in the history of the business, Hulk Hogan, and all of them are nothing. He continues running them all down and then Roode grabs the mic out of his hand and says that this is enough, and if we want to take a trip down Memory Lane, Jarrett did give them all an opportunity, and they took that opportunity and built his company from the ground up. They are the heart and soul of TNA Wrestling and Jarrett knows it's the truth, but they'd still come in week after week and see "the new face of wrestling", their saviors, the washed up hasbeens who came and left, and the whole time Jarrett was overlooking them. They all had opportunities to leave and make more money elsewhere, but they stayed here because of the love and the belief they had in TNA Wrestling. They have all risen to the top and they'll continue to rise to the top no matter what they have to say about it, and if Jarrett doesn't like that, then he should grow a set and do something about it...Slapnuts.
That was enough for Immortal, who attack Fortune and beat them down until Kurt Angle, Scott Steiner, and Crimson come out to make the save. Immortal bails up the rampway as Angle and company stare them down from the ring.
We go backstage where Velvet Sky and Winter are going nose to nose and screaming at each other until Angelina Love gets between them and yells at them to stop it becuase she's had enough of the drama. She formally introduces BFF and Tag Team Partner to one another, and says that if they don't get along tonight, they're going to get killed out there.
We go back to Eric Bischoff's office as he's joined by Hernandez, and they always appreciated what he did and while Dixie Carter treated him like a rug, he took it upon himself to go down to Mexico and become a big star. Bischoff wants to treat him the way he deserves to be treated, and all Hernandez has to do is hurt some people. Hernandez seems into it and gives him the pound.
Okay, we're off to the ring for our first match...
Tables Match: Matt Hardy, Bully Ray & The Pope vs Brother Devon, Samoa Joe & Rob Van Dam
A brawl starts immediately before the match even starts and Joe again chases Pope to the back before the match even officially begins. Hardy and RVD go at it in the ring and RVD runs him over with a spinkick and then hits Rolling Thunder as Devon rams Bully Ray into the steps. Hardy slowly goes to the top rope and RVD recovers and kicks him off the top to the floor. Hardy gets a chair and nails RVD as he tries a dive over the ropes. Now the Dudleys get in the ring and Devon goes for a running charge, but Bully Ray gets an elbow up and then nails Devon in the stapler. Ray gets in his face and says he'll get his own stinkin' tables, and goes outside to pull a table from under the ring and sets it up on the floor. Ray goes back over to Devon's kids and says that he's going to go beat their father because he's weak, just like them. Ray hops up on the apron and Devon's kids hop the rail and grab his ankles, allowing Devon to drive him off the apron and through the table for the win.
Winners: Rob Van Dam, Brother Devon & Samoa Joe
Devon celebrates in the ring with his kids.
We go backstage to the Jarretts as Karen is telling her husband how great he looks, and Jeff says he can't wait for Angle to find out about the clause he put in the contract.
We head out to the ring with the Jarretts, who are surrounded by security, and Karen asks if we all enjoyed watching their family behind the scenes. Karen says that she did it for all of us because she can't imagine what it's like with our terrible marriages and dysfunctional marriages, and see what it's like to be a Jarrett and live the life they live where it's nothing but love 24/7. Kurt Angle's music hits and he comes walking out to sign the contract for their match as security forms a wall between him and the Jarretts. Karen says that this is a good chance to show the kids that mommy, daddy Kurt, and daddy Jeff can all get along and he should put on his happy face. Angle says to just give him the damn papers, and Jarrett says not so fast because their match at Genesis was supposed to be an exhibition and Angle took it too far, and that's why Jarrett had to destroy him. Jarrett says he has nothing to prove at Against All Odds, so he wants to up the ante: if Angle wins, then he gets custody of their two kids, but if Jarrett wins, then on March 3rd in Fayetteville, North Carolina when Karen renews her vows with Jeff, he wants Angle to give the bride away. Karen obviously doesn't like what's going on,but Jeff signs the contract and then hands it to Kurt, who signs it as well.
We go to commercial, and then come back for our next match...
Knockouts Champion Madison Rayne, Tara, Sarita, and Rosita vs Knockouts Tag Team Champions Angelina Love & Winter, Velvet Sky, and Mickie James
Cute bit as the Beautiful People and Winter made their entrance and Winter and Velvet kept trying to elbow each other out of the way so they could come to the ring with Angelina. Angelina and Sarita go at it in the ring and Sarita dumps Angelina to the apron, but Angelina nails her and comes off the top with a flying bodypress for 2. Rosita trips Angelina from the floor and then fires a hard forearm at her from the outside. Rosita tags in and cracks Angelina in the face with a a hard forearm, then Sarita picks her up on her shoulders and drops Rosita on Angelina for 2. Sarita tags in and wheelbarrow sentons Rosita onto Angelina and follows with a senton of her own for 2. Sarita and Rosita work Angelina over in the corner and then Rosita tries a crossbody, but Angelina catches her and hits a front powerslam then makes the hot tag to Velvet. Instead of wrestling the match, Velvet argues with Winter and allows Sarita to nail Velvet from behind and Rosita moonsaults Velvet for the win.
Winners: Madison Rayne, Tara, Sarita & Rosita
Velvet and Winter continue arguing all the way to the back, but Mickie James tells Madison that she's sick of Madison sneak attacking her and tells her to come back to the ring right now.
We go to commercial, and when we come back Madison asks Mickie if she's going to tell her about all the things she's going to do to her at Against All Odds, then says that Mickie came to TNA to prove she's the top female wrestler in the top female division in the world. Madison says she's gotten some impressive wins, but they haven't been against her and she can talk the talk, but when it comes to walking the walk, she's crippled. There comes a time when every wrestler has to make the decision about whether it's time to hang up the boots, and while Madison is young and hasn't even hit her prime yet, but Mickie's at that point and she has a decision to make about whether she's going to let Madison keep embarrassing her.
We go backstage to Jeff Jarrett who ponders on tonight's Morgan-Anderson match with the winner facing him at Against All Odds in a Ladder Match, and the only thing that matters is when he climbs the ladder and regains his title.
Ken Anderson and Matt Morgan are backstage, and they're...WALKING!
We go to the back as Kurt Angle walks into Fortune's locker room and tells AJ Styles & Robert Roode to destroy Jeff Jarrett tonight because of what he said about Kurt's kids. Roode says what the Jarretts are doing by putting the kids in the middle of it is BS, and Kurt did Fortune a favor, so Roode will do him a favor tonight and give Angle his spot in the match tonight.
Back to the ring...
WWE Divas Title Match: Ken Anderson vs Matt Morgan
Jeff Hardy comes out before the match with a ladder, sets it up at ringside, and climbs to the top for a bird's eye view of the match. You might as well do the screwjob finish right now for all the difference it will make. Anderson gets a headlock and Morgan sends him off into the ropes, but an Anderson shoulderblock goes nowhere. Now Morgan gets a headlock, Anderson sends him into the ropes, and Morgan runs over him with a shoulderblock. Anderson tries a hiptoss, Morgan reverses to one of his own, but misses a legdrop and Anderson gets a sliding clothesline for 2. They trade blows and Morgan whips Anderson to the corner and follows in with a clothesline, then hits a side suplex for 2. Morgan hits a series of short clotheslines, but Anderson ducks the last one and rolls Morgan up for 2. Morgan pops right back up and gets a clothesline for 2 and then goes to a chinlock as we get a good view of Hardy watching the action from the ladder. Anderson fights his way out of the chinlock and they trade blows again, but Anderson gets a flying clothesline, back elbow, and swinging neckbreaker for 2. Morgan blocks the Mic Check and Anderson dodges the Carbon Footprint and hits a clothesline from the second rope for 2. Morgan goes for another Carbon Footprint but crotches himself on the top rope and tumbles to the floor. Anderson tries to pull him back in and Morgan snaps his neck across the top rope and Anderson falls backwards into the ref and wipes him out. Suddenly, Hernandez runs out and attacks Morgan on the floor, rams him into the ringpost, then rolls him back into the ring so Anderson can cover him for 3.
Winner: Ken Anderson
Hardy sits applauding from his spot at the top of the ladder, and then Hernandez runs in and nails Anderson from behind, then plants him in the mat with a big spinebuster. Hardy comes down from the ladder and hits a Swanton on Anderson, then picks up the Divas Title belt and holds it high.
We go backstage to Bully Ray, who tells Devon that his kids are a couple of bastards who stuck their nose into his business. He says Devon has always been weak and he's raised two weak sons who grabbed his legs so Devon could blindside him. He tells Devon to bring his kids to Against All Odds so he can turn his bastard boys into men.
Back to the ring...
X Division #1 Contender's Match: Brian Kendrick vs Robbie E vs Suicide
Robbie attacks Suicide as he makes his big entrance on the zip line, but Suicide fires back and works Robbie over in the corner with clotheslines. Robbie backdrops Suicide to the floor and Kendrick suddenly goes after Robbie, still wearing his robe, and then they both nail Suicide as he gets back in the ring, but Suicide comes back and picks Kendrick up and legdrops him onto Robbie before giving Kendrick a bulldog to the second turnbuckle and clotheslining Robbie to the floor. Kendrick fires back with a series of kicks but Suicide hits a Yakuza Kick and a 450 back suplex. Cookie gets up on the apron and distracts Suicide so Robbie can run in and nail him from behind and then cover Kendrick for the win.
Winner: Robbie E
So the #1 Contender's Match at Against All Odds will now be Robbie E and Generation Me fighting for a shot at the X Division Title.
AJ Styles, Kurt Angle, Jeff Jarrett, and Jeff Hardy are backstage, and they're all...WALKING!
We go to an interview with Ink Inc, who say they represent people who aren't afraid to come out and be themselves, and it doesn't matter what you're into because it's all about coming out and representing themselves. They proved to Gunner & Murphy last week what they're all about when they picked up the win.
Mike Tenay and Taz run down the card for Against All Odds, and then we go backstage to the Devon family. Devon says he's glad Bubba is pissed off because he had no business putting his hands on Devon's kids, and he was the one who brought them into the situation. They may be young, but don't underestimate them because they're all going to give him the ass kicking of his life.
It's main event time!
Jeff Hardy & Jeff Jarrett vs AJ Styles & Kurt Angle
Jarrett and AJ start the match and AJ immediately tags Angle in, so Jarrett runs and tags out to Hardy. Angle takes Hardy down with a headlock but Hardy regains his feet and takes Angle to the corner, then stomps him down to the mat. Angle responds with an overhead belly to belly suplex for 2 as Jarrett stands in the corner with his arm outstretched, so Angle tosses Hardy into his corner and Jarrett suddenly drops to the floor. Angle tags AJ and they hit a double backdrop on Hardy for 2, but then Hardy drives AJ into the corner and now Jarrett tags in and he beats AJ down. AJ catches him unawares with a hiptoss and tags Angle, but Jarrett runs and tags out as he dives to the floor again. Angle comes off the ropes and Jarrett grabs his ankle, allowing Hardy to hit a clothesline for 2. Hardy goes to a chinlock, Angle fights his way out but Hardy nails him with a back elbow and a legdrop, then tags Jarrett in. Jarrett unloads with some hard rights and chokes Angle on the second rope as Karen screams in his face. Angle catches the ankle out of nowhere and goes for the anklelock, but Hardy comes in to break it up and then tags in to inflict some punishment on Angle. Hardy with a vertical suplex for 2 and then goes back to the chinlock as we take a commercial break.
We're back and Angle is trying to fight his way free, but Hardy nails him with a clothesline and goes for the Swanton, but Angle runs up the turnbuckles and suplexes Hardy into the ring. Angle makes the hot tag and AJ comes in and cleans house, hitting a hard back suplex on Jarrett for 2, Jarrett escapes the Styles Clash but AJ hits the Pelle Kick for 2. Hardy comes in and gives AJ a gourdbuster, but Angle hits a 450 German Suplex on Hardy and then stalks Jarrett as he gets up and goes for the Angle Slam, but Jarrett slips out and runs from Angle. He runs into the ring and kicks at Angle to keep him from getting in the ring, and AJ hits a springboard crossbody on Jarrett to pick up the win.
Winners: AJ Styles & Kurt Angle
Jeff Jarrett comes in with lowblows on both Angle and AJ and gives them both the Stroke, then Hardy comes in and gives AJ the Twist Of Hate. They continue beating them down until Fortune, Crimson, and Scott Steiner run in to make the save. The rest of Immortal runs in to even the odds and Fortune and company again get beat down. Rob Van Dam runs out and Jeff Hardy and Jarrett bail, and RVD cleans house on the rest of them until Matt Hardy clips RVD's knee from behind. Now Ken Anderson runs out to make the save and clears out Immortal by himself, and then stares angrily at them as they hightail it up the ramp.
Is Edge Still Champion? Posted by Steve Carrier on 02/12/2011 at 12:55 PM
The WWE website is questioning whether Edge is still the World Heavyweight Champion following last night's episode of SmackDown.
The "Rated R Superstar" retained the belt over Dolph Ziggler after Green Bay Packers linebacker Clay Matthews replaced Vickie Guerrero as the bout's Special Guest Referee and made the three-count.
WWE.com published an interview with Matthews teasing controversy.
"And although Matthews wouldn't divulge who gave him the authority to be a WWE Official, the WWE Universe is left to wonder if Edge is still the World Heavyweight Champion and if Matthews power as a WWE Official ultimately supersedes that of an angry "acting" SmackDown General Manager in Vickie Guerrero."

- The Undertaker's returning is drawing closer as he has stepped up rehab on the shoulder that was originally operated on. He is currently on schedule to compete at WrestleMania and has been spending a lot of time in Birmingham working out there. Unless there were any setbacks, there is a feeling that Undertaker could work a solid singles match right now.
Latest On Triple H's Return Posted by Amish Patel on 02/09/2011 at 06:55 PM
- Triple H is scheduled to return within a few weeks and is slated to appear at WrestleMania 27. The reason he hasn't been brought back quicker is because he is not involved in the Elimination Chamber angle and obviously wouldn't win, so WWE want his return to have a big impact. In terms of his role right now, he is continuing to learn all aspects of the business and has received praise at the dedication he is showing in trying to learn.
Monday's RAW Rating Posted by Amish Patel on 02/08/2011 at 06:59 PM
