John Cena Rips The Rock at WWE Live Event Posted by Steve Carrier on 07/03/2011 at 01:25 PM
WWE Champion John Cena ripped into The Rock during a post-match promo at the July 3 live event in Perth, Australia. "Where is the so called captain of Team Bring It?," Cena asked. "And if he is the captain of Team Bring It, what are they bringing a doctor's note that he can't fly all the way to Australia and entertain the WWE Universe out here in Perth?
"I don't care if I've got to play G.I. Joe, Fast Five, Fast Six, Godzilla, King Kong, and Julius Caesar all rolled into one, I want to be in the middle of this ring, defending this championship in front of all of you, because I am not an actor, I am a professional wrestler. That is what I do because of crowds like you.
"So if you cried (inaudible) tears for an actor to get back in the ring, you take your tears and your t-shirt with a bull, fold them up real nice, put them in your dresser and wait until April 1st because that is the only time The People's Champ will say that he loves all of you. But tonight from myself, from all the WWE Superstars who flew 20 hours to be here in front of you, I simply say thank you."

- Regarding Zack Ryder's Internet Title being defended at the WWE show in Australia earlier this week, he was introduced by the ring announcer as the WWE Internet Champion but we don't know yet if this is just a live event deal or something that will go to TV.
Ryder wrote the following:
"History was made tonight in Melbourne, Australia...I defended the Internet Championship for the very first time...and I won! WWWYKI"
- WWE Tough Enough competitor Luke Robinson was interviewed by TimesRecord.com this week and it was noted that nobody from WWE has contacted him since the season finale on RAW weeks back. Luke added that WWE Superstar Ted DiBiase told him, "money is written all over you and you will be a star in the WWE one day."
WWE Tough Enough contestant Christina Crawford has apparently re-signed with WWE as she recently resurfaced in Florida Championship Wrestling. She is performing under the name Caylee Turner.
Crawford was released from her WWE developmental contract to participate in reality television program. She was the last female contestant to be eliminated from the show.
. Zack Ryder was announced as the WWE Internet Champion at today's RAW live event in Melbourne, Australia and had a replica belt with him that he successfully defended against Primo.
This looks to be a way to get Ryder on television or even RAW more. It's also a great way for WWE to promote social media. We'll keep you posted on what the future plans for the title are. Stay tuned.
- Gunner defeated AJ Styles by pinfall on last night's TNA Impact Wrestling to earn 7 points in the Bound For Glory Series, while Brother Devon defeated Samoa Joe to finally earn points. Here's the updated standings:
* Gunner - 21 points * Crimson - 17 points * AJ Styles - 14 points * James Storm - 14 points * Matt Morgan - 14 points * Brother Devon - 7 points * Scott Steiner - 7 points * Rob Van Dam - 7 points * Bully Ray - 7 points * Robert Roode - 0 points * The Pope - 0 points * Samoa Joe - 0 points

Watch the next installment, featuring the weapon of mass destruction, Abyss
World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton def. Mark Henry (World Heavyweight Title Qualifying Match) Daniel Bryan def. Ted DiBiase Christian def. Sin Cara Cody Rhodes def. Intercontinental Champion Ezekiel Jackson (Non-Title Match) Kane def. Wade Barrett
SmackDown results: He did it for the 'Money' By: Mitch Passero July 1, 2011 Tags: SmackDown: July 01, 2011 PHOENIX, Ariz. Eight SmackDown Superstars learned they will compete at Money in the Bank (Preview), while a surprise attack from Sheamus raised questions about a World Heavyweight Championship Match at the pay-per-view. Plus, a WWE audio technician was sent to a local medical facility after a brutal assault by Mark Henry.
Sheamus crashed the World Heavyweight Championship contract signing (WATCH | PHOTOS) At odds for weeks, Christian and World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton were prepared for one more battle at Money in the Bank. With legal counsel at his side, Christian pointed out a clause in the contract stating that if the referee makes a bad call at Money in the Bank, he receives an immediate rematch. However, moments after Orton signed the contract, Sheamus stormed the ring and attacked both Superstars before Christian could officially sign. After assaulting both Superstars, The Celtic Warrior tore the contract to shreds, raising question if there will be a World Heavyweight Title Match at Money in the Bank.
Kane def. Wade Barrett (WATCH | PHOTOS) Kane and Wade Barrett both set to compete in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match slugged it out in a very physical battle that could have gone the way of either Superstar. Yet it was the veteran Kane who avoided Wasteland and put away Barrett with a monstrous chokelsam.
Cody Rhodes def. Intercontinental Champion Ezekiel Jackson in a Non-Title Match (WATCH | PHOTOS) Powerhouse Ezekiel Jackson was looking good against Cody Rhodes until Ted DiBiase got involved. When DiBiase climbed on the ring apron, Jackson slammed his head into the steel ring post. The momentary distraction was just enough, though, for Rhodes to strike with the Cross Rhodes. Perhaps DiBiase earned a bit of redemption in Rhodes eyes, after losing to Daniel Bryan earlier in the night.
Christian def. Sin Cara (WATCH | PHOTOS) At the start of the night, Christian was stunned that SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long would not grant him the World Heavyweight Title Match that he felt he earned last week (WATCH). In fact, Long revealed he wasnt sure who would compete for the title, suggesting that perhaps Mark Henry would get a bid. Later, the only thing Long was certain of was that Christian would face Sin Cara (WATCH).
When the match began, Christian showed some frustration as to how to best deal with the International sensation. Yet in the end, he tore a page from the playbook of his friend Edge, and put away Sin Cara with a spear.
Ranjin Singh revealed who Jinder Mahal is (WATCH) In an exclusive interview, The Great Khalis brother Ranjin Singh revealed that Jinder Mahal is their brother-in-law!
Daniel Bryan def. Ted DiBiase (WATCH | PHOTOS) Both Daniel Bryan and Ted DiBiase displayed excellent athleticism in an exciting, back-and-forth contest. However, it was a new submission maneuver from Bryan which forced DiBiase to tap out. The loss did not sit well with Cody Rhodes (WATCH).
World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton def. Mark Henry in a World Title Qualifying Match (WATCH | PHOTOS) Theres probably no Superstar more dangerous in WWE right now than Mark Henry. And with a Money in the Bank World Title opportunity on the line, hed be even more unpredictable and the reigning champion knew it. When Orton and Henry tangled outside the ring, The Viper received a helping hand from a mysterious source as Big Show's entrance began to play. Seizing the moment, Orton dropped Henry with an RKO, then slithered back in the ring, winning the match by count-out. After recovering from the RKO and realizing what went down, The Worlds Strongest Man took out his frustration by brutalizing a WWE audio technician and trashing his equipment. The unconscious technician was taken to a local medical facility immediately following the assault.
According to a WWE source, Shawn Daivari was expected to return to WWE as of a month or two ago. He worked a tryout match against Ted DiBiase in May and WWE officials were said to have been impressed with his work.
Daivari noted in a recent interview that WWE told him they will be bringing him back but would be releasing nearly "15 talents" first. He has yet to hear back from them. He's now working for the All Wheels Wrestling promotion.
As we've been reporting, WWE main roster cuts are expected shortly.

WWE Superstars Results - 6/30/2011 Report by: Sam Tindall of WrestlingNewsWorld.com
AUTHORS NOTE: It is my honor to once again join you for this edition of WWE Superstars. It was refreshing to see your comments last week, keep 'em coming!
***********
The show opens with Beth Phoenix on her way to the ring as Stanford & Mathews welcome us to the RAW portion of the show.
Gail Kim greets a few lucky fans as she makes her way to the squared circle. Scott reminds us that both women have held the Women's Championship but have yet to achieve Diva's Championship "glory".
Both women have done the opposite of Melina/Kim and have tweeted it was a dream match come true for them to wrestle each other. And we are underway...
Beth Phoenix vs. Gail Kim
They lock up in the ring, Beth backs Kim into the ropes. Kim dodges Beth, who shoots for her legs, and attempts a Hurricanrana. Beth powers out of it and misses a Clothesline, which sets her up in the corner for Kim's inverted Spear/Crossbody. Kim attempts to get the upper hand, but Beth grabs Kim from the top rope and presses her above her head. She drops her like a bad habit and the fans already seem behind this match. Beth with a cover... 1... 2... Kickout by Kim.
A series of counters brings them to the corner. Kim fails another attempt at the Hurricanrana. Kim launches an assault by Dropkicking Beth off of the top rope (who never goes up there anyways) and while Phoenix is on her hands and knees she connects with a dropkick to the face! Kim then flies at Beth with one of her trademark moves, a tilt-a-whirl headscissors armbar submission hold! Beautiful! Beth is slowly brought to her knees as she begins to fade. The fans rally behind her and she powers out with a Sidewalk Slam!
Beth goes into power mode: two clotheslines, followed by an Atomic Drop and a double axe smash to the chest of Kim. She screams as the fans cheer her on. She calls for the finish, following it with a slingshot suplex. 1 ... 2 ...kickout.
The two then go back and forth, reversing all positions into a pinning combination. Beth catches Kim who makes ONE wrong move and hits the underhook facebuster - the Glam Slam! 1 ... 2 ... 3!
Winner: Beth Phoenix by pinfall.
Phoenix helps Kim to her feet and the two shake hands - a sportsmanship (or should I say sportswomanship) we don't see often here in the world of sports-entertainment.
A promo airs for our main event: Trent Beretta & The Usos vs. Gabriel, Slater & Kidd. When will they turn Gabriel face? Seriously!
Promo for the Best of Cage Matches DVD. Has anyone noticed it's TV-14??? Thank God!
***********
JTG makes his way to the ring and apparently I missed something because the crowd (or post-production propaganda) has suddenly decided to boo the former member of Cryme Tyme. He calls for his music to be cut.
He successfully rips on "Las Haters Ville" and claims it feels good to be booed. He claims that if they want to make some money in the gambling capitol of the world, they gotta "bet on fly!"
Chris Masters makes his way to the ring for a re-match between the two. Stanford informs us that Masters holds the first victory.
JTG Vs. Chris Masters
JTG gets a headlock on Masters, who backs him into the corner. JTG quickly finds himself in an attempted Masterlock. JTG slithers out of the ring.
Upon reentry, Masters his a stiff chop followed by a Suplex. JTG hits a quick shot to the head of Masters and follows it up with a dropkick to his back. He then targets the head and hits a few elbows. 1 ... 2 ... Kickout.
JTG locks in a Chinlock as a "You Suck" chant gains momentum. If Andy Levine didn't sell VKM's slap long enough, well... Masters takes about 5 seconds to kill JTG's heat and has already powered out. It may be simply a testament to his power, he misses a clothesline and gains one in return from JTG. 1 ... Kickout from Masters.
JTG attempts another submission and the power game comes into play quickly again. Samoan Drop by Masters who then connects with a series of the LOUDEST chops I have heard (minus the Big Show's.) He hits a Shoulder Block from the second rope and continues to punish JTG, who needs to find a way around this power game.
JTG attempts a crossbody, but Masters swings him around and makes quick work of him with a Masterlock Submission. We are left trying to figure out how someone can pass out that quickly in a rushed match. Props to them for trying to tell a story.
Winner: Chris Masters by TKO from the Masterlock.
The follow-up promo for Andy Levine from RAW airs followed by another promo for our 6-man tag team match Main Event.
**********
Alicia Fox makes her way to the ring accompanied by Rosa Mendes.
Striker promos MITB Pay-Per-View as Kaitlyn makes her way to the ring with mentor Natalya at her side.
Alicia Fox w/ Rosa Mendes Vs. Kaitlyn w/ Natalya
Fox nails the rookie with a kick and sends her off the ropes to a rude awakening of a shoulder block. Kaitlyn goes for an early cover. 1 ... Kickout.
Kaitlyn tortures Fox with a wristlock and hoists her above her head. Fox powers out of it and begins to torture Kaitlyn's arm by slamming it on the mat. She rallies out of it as well.
Alicia goes for a kick, Kaitlyn grabs her leg and Dragonscrews her to the ground. She follows it up with an inverted Bulldog. Natalya gives us the impression that she is coaching her student to stay on top of Fox.
Kaitlyn hits another shoulder block but her time to shine is over as Fox reverses an attempt and slams her face first into the turnbuckle. Jack begins to tout Kaitlyn's study of the game, past superstars such as Wendi Richter.
Experience seems to lend the upper hand as Fox hits a kick to Kaitlyn's gut before taking to the ropes for her finisher, the Axe Kick! 1 ... 2 ... 3!
Winner: Alicia Fox by pinfall.
Jack questions how Kaitlyn will take this "set back."
Another promo for our main event followed by an announcement that on the 4th of July edition of RAW we will see a #1 Contenders Match for the WWE Championship: Alberto del Rio Vs. R-Truth Vs. Rey Mysterio! I assume that the ad means to face Cena at MITB, so they appear to be running with the Punk suspension storyline.
***********
WWE.com Poker promo followed by our RAW Rebound. CM Punk's promo follows the Tables Match mostly in tact. Jack then informs us of Punk's suspension and Striker hints at an appearance by Vince McMahon this Monday on RAW.
The Uso's then come out to another Haka which I am confused as to why they are doing a Maori war dance and not a Samoan war dance. To the uneducated audience it still seems like a pretty awesome entrance I must say!
WWE All-Stars promo.
***********
Trent Beretta comes out to a nice pop.
The (pointless) 3-Time Tag Team Champions Gabriel & Slater make their way to the ring along with Tyson Kidd who is WITHOUT a manager this week.
Trent Beretta & The Uso's Vs. Tyson Kidd, Justin Gabriel & Heath Slater
Trent and Kidd lock up to start this match off as Jack cites their recent rivalry. They also inform us that Tyson's small amount of hair is now completely gone. Nice. A series of counters lands our first hold as Kidd locks Baretta into an inverted ankle lock. Baretta slows down Kidd with a hammer lock counter of his own. Baretta hits a nice dropkick. 1 ... 2... Kickout by Kidd.
Trent gets a tag and Kidd flies across the ring to get one as well. Slater and Jimmy Uso enter the ring.
Headbutts by the "One-Man Rockband" seem to backfire as they tout the hard-headed Samoan heritage of Jimmy. Jimmy hits one of his own, Slater's head appears to be spinning. Jimmy hits a few dance moves followed by a wrestling move: a sit-down powerbomb. 1...2... Kickout by Slater.
Striker (who does have something good to say once in a while) gives as a few character traits of the Usos (which means 'brothers' in Samoan) such as Jimmy being "more smooth" while Jey is "a bit of a hot head at times." Jimmy tags in Jey as these words ring true with Jey nailing a vicious elbow drop on Slater. 1... 2 ... Kickout.
Jey's ambition backfires as he runs into a boot by Slater who tags in the South African, Justin Gabriel. Gabriel hits a spinning heel kick and attempts a Suplex. Jey reverses it into a Northern Lights suplex with a bridge. Impressive! Of course Jack and Matt are so busy talking about the upcoming South African tour, they almost forget to call the cover. 1... 2... Kickout.
Jey hits a Scoop Slam before tagging Baretta, who hits a slightshot leg drop on his way in for good measure. 1 ... Gabriel powers out!
Headlock by Baretta followed by a shoulder block. He takes to the other side and monkey flips over Gabriel only to be met face-to-face as Justin kips-up to his feet in a nice exchange. Baretta hits a nice shot to the face on Gabriel who inches his way into the corner. The domination continues as he hits his trademark springboard elbow smash! He goes to the well (or the ropes) one time too many and goes for a crossbody, Gabriel ducks and Baretta nails the ropes. Slater immediately tags in for the cover. 1 ... 2... Kickout.
Mark Henry vs. Orton promo brings us to the commercial break.
***********
Tyson Kidd connects with a kick to the back of Baretta as we return to the show. 1 ... 2 ... Kickout. He brings it into a headlock. Matt informs us that they are focusing on Trents back and neck and the onslaught continues as Slater tags back in. He slams Baretta down and puts a lock on his shoulder. Trent battles out and they tease the tag. He eventually tags in an Uso brother!
Jey clears the "bad guy" corner and nails a spinning headbutt on Slater. He then SLAMS into him with the running hip smash ala Rikishi! He then sets Slater up, goes to the top rope and fights off Kidd only for Slater to run up the ropes and hits a Super Powerslam! 1 ... 2 ... Kickout by Jey. Gabriel is tagged in.
He hits a swinging neckbreaker. Nunzio counts the 1... 2... Kickout by Jey. Gabriel brings him into another headlock. Kidd tags in and hits a dropkick. 1 ... 2... Rope break!
Slater tags back in and lobs a few punches and kicks, stomps and every shot you can think of. Another headlock and Heath quiets the fans as he SLAMS Jey to his back. The monotony of the typical hot tag is thrown out here. He slingshots Jey into a Spear on Gabriel. Here comes Jey's opportunity as they nail a double clothesline and both men are down. Jimmy Uso & Tyson Kidd are tagged in.
Jimmy plants a forearm into the chest of Tyson, screams and as Kidd attempts to reverse it he is loured into an Alley-Us, the Uso Samoan drop. 1 ... 2 ... Kickout by Kidd!
Kidd hits a Jawbreaker on Jimmy, who falls into a tag on Baretta. Baretta hits a highflying dropkick and fails to get the pinfall. The match begins to breakdown as everyone begins to fight. The two legal members are up high! Baretta NAILS a Superplex on Kidd into a sea of Superstars on the floor outside of the ring! Nunzio begins the count.
6... 7 ... 8... Baretta struggles to get Kidd and himself into the ring. He goes for the cover only for it to be broken up by Gabriel. We are left wondering if this team can ever get a fair shake at a pinfall! The Usos hit a double Superkick on Justin Gabriel and make sure Slater cannot get into the ring as Baretta hits the Dudebuster Tornado DDT! Trent tags an Uso who hits their signature Samoan Splash! Cover 1... 2...
3! Outstanding match by 6 hungry superstars!
Winners: The Uso's & Trent Baretta by Pinfall!
The trio celebrate in the ring as replays air. Matt asks us to join them Friday on SmackDown! Fade to black...
We look back at last week when Sting (who has gone mad) confronted Eric Bischoff, gave him every finisher in the book, called him a cockroach, and painted his face red, only for Bischoff to no-sell and make a Sting-Abyss match later in the evening.
Hulk Hogan is backstage thanking Scott Steiner for Immortal and sends him out to the ring, only to be confronted by Sting laughing maniacally on a wide screen TV and taunting him with stories about monsters under his bed.
Hogan no-sells and goes out to the ring to call out Ken Anderson. Anderson comes out and Hogan offers him two options: face Sting with Immortal backing him up, or do it on his own like usual. If he does the second, he'll get beaten and embarrassed by Sting and he'll leave without a shred of cockiness or confidence. Anderson finds this unlikely since he beat Sting all by himself to win the title at Slammiversary, but Hogan reminds Anderson that he only won the title because Eric Bischoff helped him. Hogan says Anderson owes him one, but Anderson says he doesn't owe Hogan a damn thing, and regardless of what Bischoff did, he takes all the credit for his win at Slammiversary and what he'll do two weeks from now.
Suddenly, Sting is beating Bully Ray, Abyss, and Scott Steiner up on the video wall, and after they're all laid out, Sting threatens to come find Hogan tonight. Hogan starts to talk, but the lights go out and when they come up, Sting is standing behind Hogan and takes his knees out with his baseball bat. Anderson heads for the hills, so Sting says that July 14 should be called Midsummer Nightmare, and he nails Hogan with the bat again. Sting says he was a Hulk Hogan MARK way back in the day, and he's here to get the real Hulk Hogan to stand back up, not Hollywood Hogan. He reminds Hogan of the Three Commandments, and says he's still working out because he still has 21 inch pythons. Sting grabs a bottle full of pills and sits down with his arm around the laid out Hogan, and starts popping pills down Hogan's throat and his own, then washes them down Hogan's throat. Then Sting takes enough pills to kill a man and stuffs them down Hogan's throat, then hooks Hogan in the Scorpion Deathlock. Sting threatens to sit down on it and put Hogan out, but the rest of Immortal comes out and Bully Ray says he can't stand bullies, and since their paths have never crossed, he's challenging Sting...on behalf of Scott Steiner.
Ray calls for the music, but Hogan stops it to tell Sting that he's going to wipe the smile off of Sting's face tonight.
Mike Tenay and Taz run us down this past week's results of the Bound For Glory Series, and Crimson is currently in the lead with 17 points, with Gunner right behind him with 14. This leads us into our first match...
Bound For Glory Series: Samoa Joe vs Brother Devon
They tie up and Devon goes to a wristlock, but Joe takes Devon down with a three quarter nelson and quickly locks in the choke, but Devon makes the ropes. Devon takes Joe to the corner and unloads with right hands and then tries a whip, but Joe bowls him into the corner and hits a leaping enziguiri. Joe with his snapmare/back chop/kick/running kneedrop combo. Joe with the facewash in the corner, but Devon pops up and spears Joe, then unloads on him with clotheslines and a leaping back elbow. Devon with a uranage and a leaping headbutt, then charges Joe in the corner with a clothesline and follows it with a leaping clothesline for 2. Devon measures Joe as he regains his feet, but Joe sees him coming in and boots him in the face, then hits a leaping kneestrike off the middle rope. Joe goes for the pin, but lets him up at 2 and goes to a heel hook instead to try for the submission points. Devon makes the ropes, so Joe hits an inverted atomic drop and a Yakuza kick off the ropes, and instead of going for the cover he puts Devon in a Kimura Lock. Devon again makes the ropes, so Joe hits a snap powerslam and gets a cross armbreaker, but Devon again makes the ropes. Joe sets Devon up for the Muscle Buster, Devon fights his way out and tries a move off the middle rope, but Joe drills Devon with a kneestrike coming down and hooks the choke again. Devon rolls out of it and hits a spinebuster for 3.
Winner: Devon
Joe is in disbelief, and the story was that Joe passed up chances to pin Devon to try for the submission and it backfired. This is Devon's first points in the series.
Pope is backstage with Devon's kids and celebrating his win, and Pope is going to go find Devon's wife and celebrate.
Scott Steiner is arguing backstage with Bully Ray, and Ray gives Steiner a good pep talk and reminds him that he's the Big Bad Booty Daddy.
Frankie Kazarian catches Joe returning to the locker room and tells Joe that he's better than this and he should be out there killing people. Joe calls him a bitch like AJ, and security has to get between them.
We recap the results from the first two matches in the Destination X Tournament, then get comments from Low Ki, Matt Bentley, and Jimmy Yang as they talk about their history in TNA and the X Division.
Destination X Tournament: Low Ki vs Matt Bentley vs Jimmy Yang
Low Ki gets a big reaction from the crowd. Ki with a leapfrog into a mule kick on Yang, then Bentley goes after him. Ki with a handspring crossbody that sends Bentley to the floor, but Yang catches him with a leaping leg lariat. Yang is out in his Flying Elvises outfit tonight. Yang with a running leg lariat in the corner and then a top rope bodypress for 2. Bentley comes in and yanks Yank down by the back of his jacket and puts the boots to Ki. Bentley tries to dump Yang, Yang tries to skin the cat back in, but Bentley rams Ki headfirst into Yang and sends Yang tumbling to the floor. Bentley with an elbowdrop on Ki that gets 2, then goes to a rear chinlock. Ki fights his way out, but Bentley clotheslines him to the floor. Bentley goes out after Ki and Yang dives higher than I think I've ever seen a human being jump before and wipe out Ki on the floor. Yang sends Ki back in and covers for 2, but then Ki gets a crucifix for 2. Yang quickly nails Ki with a leg lariat for 2, but eats Ki's boot on a charge, then Ki unloads on Yang with stiff kicks. Ki sunset flips Yang and rolls through into a double stomp on Yang, then hits the Tidal Crush on Bentley. Ki covers Bentley for 2, but misses a corner charge on Yang and Yang hits a series of kicks for 2. Bentley pops up and wipes both men out with an Ace Crusher/DDT combo, then superkicks Ki for 2. Bentley goes up top, but Yang catches him coming down and hits a gutbuster, then tries Yang Time, but Bentley moves. Ki quickly capitalizes by going up top and hits the Warrior's Way for the win.
Winner: Low Ki
Awesome match, and that may have been the best I've ever seen Jimmy Yang look.
We see a video package with the X Division guys talking about what the division has meant to TNA and how much it means for them to get their own PPV.
Madison Rayne is backstage fixing herself up in the mirror and shooting her mouth off on Tara. Winter and Angelina Love come in and Madison accuses them of stealing her lip gloss. Angelina says that her relationship with Winter isn't synthetic anymore, it's the real thing and Winter appreciates her, and now they're going to blah blah blah Mickie James.
We go backstage where Samoa Joe is beating the crap out of Frankie Kazarian, then Hulk Hogan is backstage taping his fists and saying that Sting's embarrassed him for the last time.
Elimination Match: Winter, Angelina Love & Madison Rayne vs Winter, Miss Tessmacher & Mickie James
The entrances took like ten minutes alone. Good thing we have limited commercial interruption. Mickie beats Winter down and tears off her belt, but Angelina goes after her and hits the Yonge Street Plunge before she can nail Winter with it. Tessmacher comes in and goes after Angelina, but Angelina yanks her down by the hair and unloads in the corner with kicks. Winter tags in and gouges the eyes, but Tessmacher moves out of the way of a charge and stomps Winter down before ramming her ass in Winter's face. Angelina distracts Tessmacher from the outside, and Winter hits a Northern Light suplex to eliminate Miss Tessmacher. Tara comes in with her pizza delivery hat on and lays Winter out and does her ass shaking standing moonsault for 2. Tara gets a Tarantula on Winter, but Madison baseball slides her in the face and sets her up so Winter and Angelina can hit a Samoan Drop/Botox Injection combo. Winter goes for the cover, but Madison tosses Winter to the floor and steals the win for herself. Mickie's 3-on-1, but Angelina and Winter stalk Madison and allow Mickie to superkick Madison and get the win. Mickie immediately goes after Winter, but takes it 2-on-1 from Angelina and Winter. They beat her down ghetto style, but they miss the double team they beat Tara with and Mickie sunset flips Winter for 2. Mickie tries the leaping DDT on Angelina, but Winter with a backbreaker and then Angelina hits a 90 degree lungblower. Angelina goes for the win, but Winter tells her that she's had her turn and now it's Winter's turn. The conversation lasts long enough for Mickie to recover and lay both of them out. Mickie with a neckbreaker to eliminate Angelina, but Winter rolls Mickie up with a handful of jeans for 2. Mickie hits the leaping DDT on Winter and gets the win.
Winner: Mickie James
Gunner is backstage and says that he wants it all, and tonight he'll win his series against AJ Styles and prove that he can be World Champion.
We see a video package hyping Abyss vs Brian Kendrick, then we go to the ring where Jeremy Borash introduces the contract signing for the Christopher Daniels-AJ Styles main event at Destination X. AJ asks Daniels if he's sure he wants to do this, and Daniels responds by signing the contract and saying this isn't personal, it's about the X Division. AJ is worried it'll become personal, but Daniels says they want to take the X Division to the next level and they're the best men to headline the show, and no matter who wins, Daniels will shake the hand of his best friend after it's over. AJ signs and the match is official, but then Jerry Lynn comes out and says he doesn't want to hear people bicker over who built the X Division because they all built it and it was about giving the fans something special and giving them wrestling. Rob Van Dam comes out and says that he was being called a pioneer before any of them were in the business and he was X Division before there was an X Division. Jerry Lynn reminds him that he stood toe to toe with RVD for a full year, but Daniels calms him down and says that none of them invented the X Division, but they all damn sure perfected it. Daniels says that Daniels-AJ and RVD-Lynn headlining Destination X may make it the best PPV of all time, then suggests that next week, they can do a four corner match with the four of them. Everyone agrees, and the match is on for next week.
Everyone starts to head to the back, but Gunner suddenly comes out of nowhere and attacks AJ, then rolls him into the ring where AJ recovers and tosses Gunner to the floor. Referee Earl Hebner comes into the ring and calls for the bell, and we're off...

We go to a video package showing highlights of the X Division throughout the years, with a focus on the Ultimate X, then we go backstage to Sting, who says Steiner's in the wrong place at the wrong time.
We see a video package looking at the history of the Velvet Sky-ODB feud and the addition of Miss Jackie to the situation. We go backstage to Velvet, who says she's been bullied her entire life and she's always had to fight for everything she wanted to accomplish. She's not as weak as she once was, and next week she'll face both of them in a handicap match and after that, they'll be gone from Impact Wrestling and she'll be done with them.
LAX v2.0 come out and Anarquia says that all of us accuse them of being liars and criminals, and he wants to know why they're not in the Bound For Glory Series when Beer Money are. The British Invasion comes out and Magnus points out that they're also foreigners, but they're proud of who they are and where they're from, and that they have careers in the USA. They don't like people who come to another country and expect to have everything handed to them just for showing up, and Mexican America hasn't earned it. There's one team they haven't beaten in Impact Wrestling because they haven't beaten the British Invasion and they won't because the British Invasion conducts their business face to face like men, and they challenge Mexican America to a tag match to determine the real #1 contenders to Beer Money. Magnus tells them to grow a set and leave las prostitutas at home. Rosita spits in Magnus' face and slaps him, and a brawl breaks out with Mexican America beating Magnus and Williams down. Suddenly, Rob Terry ruins not just this segment, but the entire world by running out to make the save. Mexican America bails out to the floor as Rob Terry looks at them all angry.
We go to Jeff Jarrett and Karen Angle in Mexico City, and they've spent a week in paradise, and when they get back, they have presents for Hulk and Eric.
Bully Ray is in the locker room rallying the troops and gives Gunner the rest of the night off because he won again, then he pulls Abyss away from his porno mag to come out to ringside. Abyss can't find his mask, and slams the door shut so he can find it.
It's main event time!

Lesnar and Heyman to work with WWE again? Posted by Roscoe De Soto on 06/29/2011 at 11:24 PM

One person close to the situation notes that CM Punk mentioning Colt Cabana, Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar during his promo on Monday's RAW has to do with all three of those stars possibly coming back to WWE.
Apparently Punk recently asked for his friend Colt Cabana to be re-hired and put on the main roster, as one of the points in Punk's new deal if he should re-sign. Regarding Punk staying or going, WWE creative has been told that he's finishing up at Money in the Bank and most feel that he is still leaving, despite Monday's promo. WWE still does have an offer on the table to Punk for him to stay.
Heyman and Lesnar have reportedly either made a deal or are at least in very serious negotiations to have a business relationship with WWE. Regarding Lesnar, word is that he won't be wrestling and won't be a TV character, should he have a business relationship with WWE again. Heyman would start working with the company again under a deal similar to Lesnar, according to the report by the Wrestling Observer.
- Triple H has reportedly told Sin Cara that if he was having any problems, to come to him, and if there was anyone he wanted to work with, to also come to him. Triple H also reportedly told Cara not to listen to advice from anyone else when it comes to American wrestling but him.
