Jeff Hardy has served the 10 day sentence he received after a plea agreement stemming from 2009 drug charges in North Carolina. He went into jail on 10/3 and was released today.
-It's time for the thirty-second week of NXT Redemption! The opening titles roll, and commentators Jack Korpela and William Regal welcome us from Dallas, Texas.
-Derrick Bateman's music hits and he comes out holding Maxine's hand. They get into the ring and Bateman grabs a mic. Bateman thanks John Laurinaitis for restoring order to Raw. He thanks him because the chaos in WWE was trickling down to "his show," NXT. He says his opinion and the opinion of the one who "captured his heart like the opposing defense captures a Tony Romo pass", Maxine, are the only opinions that matter. Maxine begins to speak, but she is interrupted by Percy Watson & Titus O'Neil's theme. They both come out with mics and greet them in the ring. Bateman says that Percy, Titus, and the WWE Universe are just jealous of his and Maxine's love. Titus calls them the most disgusting couple in the WWE, and Percy agrees. Titus says that Bateman joined late, whereas he has 30 redemption points. That may not mean much to Bateman, but to the WWE Universe, that means he's earned a chance to be on Raw or Smackdown. Maxine looks ready to fight, and Titus and Percy call Bateman "booty-whipped", and Matt Striker's music hits.
-Striker reminds Maxine that he's the host of NXT, and he's the only one who can make matches in NXT. Striker makes Percy Watson vs. Derrick Bateman official for later tonight, and announces that Maxine will be in action next against AJ. AJ makes her way to the ring as we go to commercial.

WWE Raw SuperShow results: The "Laurinaitis Era" begins By: Ryan Murphy October 10, 2011 Tags: Raw, WWE Raw SuperShow: October 10, 2011 OKLAHOMA CITY The stark image of an empty locker room posted on WWE.com hours before the Raw SuperShow may have led the WWE Universe to believe that the nights event might not even happen. After all, the majority of the Raw roster refused to compete if Triple H was still in charge. Leave it to Mr. McMahon to turn the evening into one of the most contentious nights in history.
CM Punk & WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio def. The Miz & R-Truth by Disqualification (WATCH | PHOTOS) What started off as a showdown between the WWE Champion and The Straight Edge Superstar soon exploded into tag team warfare when Interim Raw General Manager John Laurinaitis reinstated the controversial duo of Miz & Truth and set this match on the spot. Quickly abandoned by his spineless partner, Punk was forced to go it alone against his devious opponents. But when The Awesome Truth began to double-team The Voice of the Voiceless, The Game rushed to the ring to defend his former rival in a show of solidarity the WWE Universe could actually get behind.
Following the match, the Interim Raw General Manager proposed yet another idea to bring to the Board a bout pitting CM Punk & Triple H against The Miz & R-Truth at Vengeance.
WWE Tag Team Champions Air Boom & Mason Ryan def. United States Champion Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger & David Otunga (WATCH | PHOTOS) Two weeks after he returned to the ring and smashed both Jack Swagger & United States Champion Dolph Ziggler, the massive Mason Ryan joined forces with the WWE Tag Team Champions to do it again. Throwing his considerable weight around, the powerhouse from Wales stomped through his three opponents before planting the United States Champion into the canvas. Its clear this big man means business.
Mr. Laurinaitis announced the Vengeance main event, fired Jim Ross (WATCH) Less than an hour into his tenure as Interim Raw General Manager, John Laurinaitis dropped two bombshells. First, he announced that WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio will defend his title against John Cena at Vengeance.

Tamina & Rosa Mendes (WATCH | PHOTOS) Still fired up following her brutal beat down of Beth Phoenix on last Mondays Raw, Kelly Kelly came to fight with her good friend Eve by her side.

Somewhere in the locker room, Beth & Natalya were watching this match very closely.
Randy Orton def. World Heavyweight Champion Mark Henry by Disqualification (WATCH | PHOTOS) Less than two weeks before he faces Big Show at Vengeance (MATCH PREVIEW), Mark Henry clashed with Randy Orton and came very close to falling to WWEs Apex Predator. After getting nailed with a devastating RKO, The World's Strongest Man was down for the count before a malicious Cody Rhodes attacked Orton for the second time in the bout. The Intercontinental Champion and Mark Henry brutalized the vulnerable Viper before Rhodes sent a humiliating message of contempt to his former mentor by putting a paper bag on his head.
Christian def. John Morrison; main events made (WATCH | PHOTOS) Immediately stepping into his new role, Mr. Laurinaitis welcomed the embattled Superstars back into the arena and sent Christian and John Morrison directly to the ring in their street clothes. Already unhappy with the new General Manager, Captain Charisma took his anger out on The Shaman of Sexy, beating JoMo and then encouraging Cody Rhodes, Jack Swagger and Dolph Ziggler to smash the fallen competitor.
This bout was just the beginning of the Laurinatis-led Raw Supershow. In short order, the GM scheduled two main events for the night World Heavyweight Champion Mark Henry vs. Randy Orton and WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio vs. CM Punk.
John Cena vs. Sheamus ended in a No Contest (WATCH); Mr. McMahon named John Laurinaitis Interim Raw GM (WATCH | PHOTOS) Determined to put on a show, Cena and Sheamus locked up in the ring while Triple H officiated and Punk handled commentary.

Sunny Reportedly Drinking Again & Depressed Posted by Dave Mitchell on 10/10/2011 at 05:17 PM
As reported earlier, former WWE talent Tammy Sytch (a/k/a Sunny) was advertised to appear at Saturday's Legends of the Ring event at the Crowne Plaza in Monroe, New Jersey, but no-showed. That would make the second consecutive weekend where she missed scheduled bookings after arriving to them.
She was spotted highly intoxicated at the hotel's sports bar the night before and needed assistance returning to her room since she was unable to walk on her own. She spent Saturday and Sunday in her hotel room before returning home.
Sytch wrote of her whereabouts Monday afternoon on Facebook, "sorry i havent posted.....been very sick....."
Sytch appeared in no condition to perform at Northeast Wrestling's Brass City Brawl II event on September 30 in Waterbury, Connecticut and was scratched from the show as a result. According to a source, a referee drove her back to her hotel and she wouldn't leave her room the following day. She was then escorted off the premises by law enforcement. She missed a show she booked to appear on that day in Poughkeepsie, New York.
Sytch wrote "detoxing is not fun" two days later on her Facebook account. She then revealed on Thursday that she's depressed.
"I want to thank everyone who stood behind me and sent well wishes during this hard time," she wrote. "Im sorry I havent responded sooner, but depression can be a bitch....dont feel like doing much at all..."
Her recent troubles are apparently related to problems with her boyfriend of over five years, who she broke up with a week earlier. She trashed her longtime partner on September 22 on Facebook by claiming that he cheated on her. She wrote three days later, "ok, seriously dont know what to do....need a sugar daddy asap....any takers??" She announced the following day that she was in a relationship with Brad Zapenas, a 21-year-old minor league baseball player for the Chicago Cubs. The relationship, however, would be short-lived as they broke up on Sunday.
Sytch faced a similar set of problems earlier this year as she appeared intoxicated at a Florida independent wrestling show on February 25. She slurred her words during a verbal confrontation with Danny Demanto and suffered multiple wardrobe malfunctionsshe purposely flashed her breasts during a match to onlookers and her top accidentally came loose when she attempted to slap a wrestler.
She stated days later on Facebook that she was dealing with personal problems at home: "To everyone: let me explain why Ive been so upset lately. I have made the biggest mistake of my life, and have hurt the only person who ever cared about me and stood behind me thru my worst times. Now I have to deal with the pain b/c of my own mistake."
The former WWE Diva appeared intoxicated at a multitude of independent wrestling events in the years prior to her comeback. Her erratic behavior intensified in the months following the April 2005 death of longtime partner Chris Candido: she officiated at least two matches while intoxicated and was escorted from a wrestling convention after causing a scene near Bret Hart. Her wily antics, however, simmered after she entered a relationship with a police official in January 2006 (who she broke up with last month) and shortly thereafter began her road to recovery, which culminated with enshrinement into WWE's Hall of Fame last April.
-- Former WWE diva Tammy "Sunny" Sytch no-showed yet another event this past weekend, a 'Legends of the Ring' this past Saturday in Monroe, New Jersey. She was spotted at the hotel bar the night before, but never made it to the actual convention as advertised. This is the second week in a row that she's no-showed events.
Darren Young Issues a Statement on His Suspension Posted by Steve Carrier on 10/10/2011 at 10:45 AM

With Henry dazed and vulnerable, Show was prepared to inflict the exact same punishment that Henry used to put him out of commission. With the champions leg entangled in a steel chair, Show was ready leap on top of him from the steel ring steps. But just in the nick of time, Henry was spared when GM Teddy Long emerged to calm the angry giant by agreeing to give him what he wanted a World Championship Match as long as he did not leap on Henry.

If I have to tear through the entire SmackDown roster in order to have another championship match, then Im all for it, he said. And not willing to lump himself in with the other Superstars who participated in the Raw walkout, The Viper said If I have a problem with Triple H, Ill deal with Triple H personally.
Big Show demanded a World Title opportunity (PHOTOS) After making an emotional comeback in front of the WWE Universe, Big Show threatened to repeatedly punch Mark Henry in the head and take the World Heavyweight Championship from him.
