TORONTO - A lot can happen, and often does, in between one sunrise and the next. A mere 24 hours earlier, for example, Randy Orton strode atop the globe, preening and coveting his precious WWE Championship. By the following day, however, when Raw rolled into The Great White North, not only had the sun set on The Viper's reign, Orton would also find himself hunted by a SmackDown-bound Animal in search of revenge.
Bastista def. Randy Orton in a No Holds Barred Match (PHOTOS | WATCH) After months of arduous rehab, Batista seemed eager to shake off any ring rust that may have accumulated by testing himself in the squared circle against one of WWEs most imposing Superstars, Randy Orton, in a No Holds Barred Match. The Animal, in his last match on Raw before heading to SmackDown, appeared to be operating at full capacity when he met face-to-face with the man who put him on the shelf for months. Batistas trademark aggression was put on view against Orton, who seemed dazed by the offensive.
In fact, The Viper appeared so baffled that he slithered from the ring and headed toward the exit ramp. His exodus, however, would prove premature. Blocking Ortons escape stood WWE Champion John Cena, who had claimed the WWE Title from Orton less than 24 hours earlier. Cena corralled Orton back into the waiting arms of The Animal, who swiftly crushed Orton and left him lying prone in the ring.
Trish Stratus, MVP & Mark Henry def. Beth Phoenix & Unified Tag Team Champions Chris Jericho & Big Show (PHOTOS | WATCH) Trish Stratuss handpicked partner wasnt the only surprise tonight. Raws guest host announced that she would team with MVP against Beth Phoenix & Chris Jericho. As the match got underway, however, Jerichos fellow Unified Tag Team Champion Big Show reared his shiny head and interfered in the match.
The distraction provoked Stratus to announce that the match would not end on such a dastardly note. Instead, Stratus informed the audience that a six-person bout was taking place that moment: Stratus, MVP & Mark Henry vs. Phoenix, Jericho & Show.
Stratus proved that since her retirement, shes hardly lost a step. The seven-time Womens Champion overcame the significant strength and size of The Glamazon to lead her team to victory.
After the match, it was announced that, next week, Raw's guest host will be a little less Diva and a lot more down. Monday night, the WWE Universe welcomes actor and funny man Cedric the Entertainer.
Evan Bourne & Hornswoggle def. Chavo Guerrero & Carlito (PHOTOS | WATCH) Its not easy being Chavo Guerrero. Week after week, the self-styled Mexican Warrior finds himself on the, um, short end of the stick when it comes to his matches with Hornswoggle. Unfortunately for Chavo, this week proved to be another soggy nacho when he teamed up with Carlito to tackle the leprechaun & Evan Bourne. With Rosa Mendes watching at ringside in Carlitos corner, Hornswoggle managed to outsmart Chavo once again, prompting Guerrero to cryptically announce, I give up.
Shawn Michaels vs. Ted DiBiase ended in a no contest (PHOTOS | WATCH | MORE DX) One night after the biggest win of his young career, Ted DiBiase prepared to prove that The Legacys upset victory over DX was far from a fluke. He competed against The Showstopper, Shawn Michaels, who hadnt competed in a singles match on Raw in more than six months.
As their respective partners, Cody Rhodes and Triple H, eyed the action, DiBiase and Michaels unleashed their significant animus on one another. So passionate dripped the hatred, that Rhodes and The Game could no longer sit idle. In short order, the four Superstars were each swinging at their opponents until referees were compelled to stop the carnage.
The disdain each team feels for one another will be on full display in mere weeks when the four compete inside the unforgiving confines of Satans Structure at WWE Hell in a Cell.
Alicia Fox def. Gail Kim (PHOTOS | WATCH) With Divas Champion Mickie James looking on, Divas Alicia Fox and Gail Kim faced off for the opportunity to challenge Mickie for the title. While Kims electrifying acrobatics were on full display, it was Fox who would leverage her size advantage to notch the victory and become the No. 1 contender for the gold.
The Miz & Jack Swagger def. United States Champion Kofi Kingston & Primo (PHOTOS | WATCH) The Miz isnt exactly the epitome of sportsmanship. Even by Miz standards, as low as they are, his actions during the tag team match pitting himself & Jack Swagger against United States Champion Kofi Kingston & Primo proved despicable. With the bout underway, Miz, who had failed in his bid to claim the U.S. Title the night prior at WWE Breaking Point, snatched up the title and ran off. The shocking larceny distracted Kingston long enough to allow The All-American American to capitalize for the win.
Raw guest host Trish Stratus announced WWE Champion John Cena vs. Randy Orton in a Hell in a Cell Match at WWE Hell in a Cell Hometown favorite and WWE Diva of the Decade, Trish Stratus, thanked the Toronto faithful for their rousing welcome and also showed them the love right back. The brunette beauty announced that Randy Orton will get an opportunity to reclaim the WWE Championship from John Cena in a Hell in a Cell Match in three weeks at WWE Hell in a Cell.
Batista tricked Orton; announced move to SmackDown, No Holds Barred Match for Raw (PHOTOS | WATCH) The Animal is back! While no stranger to injuries the five-time World Champion has suffered through excruciating tears in his biceps, triceps and hamstrings Batista appeared in the ring showing evidence of his latest wound, his arm cradled in a sling. Running through his list of injuries and impressive career accomplishments, Batista informed the WWE Universe that he was prepared to hang up his boots.
Perhaps sensing weakness, Randy Orton, the man responsible for The Animals most recent physical crisis, confronted Batista, taunting him for quitting. The tables, however, would soon be turned.
As The Viper hissed insults toward Batista, The Animal smiled and shed his sling to reveal that he was actually healthy. After serving up a well-deserved pounding to Orton, Batista then made two announcements: 1) He will be moving to Smackdown, and 2) Thanks to Raw guest host Trish Stratus, he will face down Orton in a No Holds Barred Match.
ROBINSON TOWNSHIP, Pa. -- Kurt Angle, Pittsburgh's Olympic gold medalist and professional wrestling champion, was found not guilty of harassment and other charges were dropped on Tuesday stemming from the alleged stalking of his ex-live-in girlfriend.
Angle, 40, was arrested last month, shortly after Trenesha Biggers, 26, got a protection from abuse order against him in Moon Township and had police officers remove him from his house. Biggers did not comment as she left district court on Tuesday, but Angle and his lawyer answered media questions for about two minutes.
The arrest happened in Robinson Township, where police said Biggers claimed Angle was stalking and harassing her by driving around the parking lot while she was at Starbucks Coffee in Robinson Towne Center.
District Judge Carla Swearingen cleared Angle on the harassment charge related to the PFA order, and Angle is living at home again while Biggers has moved out.
Dismissed by the judge were charges of driving with a suspended license -- stemming from Angle's refusal of a breath test on an unrelated DUI charge that he beat at trial in 2007 -- and drug possession related to two vials of human growth hormone in Angle's car at the time of his arrest last month. Angle said he has a prescription for HGH and uses it for an ongoing condition related to previous neck injuries from wrestling.
Angle holds the heavyweight championship belt for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. Biggers is also a wrestler and works infrequently for TNA under the name "Rhaka Khan."
In an exclusive interview days after his arrest, Angle told WTAE Channel 4's Michelle Wright that he was going to a hotel near the Starbucks after police made him leave his house and Biggers just happened to be there at the same time. Breaking into tears, he said spending nine hours in the Allegheny County Jail was the lowest point of his life.
Angle became emotional again on Tuesday as he spoke to reporters outside the courtroom, saying he opened his home to Biggers and his generosity was taken advantage of.
"I will continue to live my life by the law, as I always have," Angle said.
A separate hearing will be held next month in Moon on the PFA and a simple assault charge that was filed to obtain the protection order.
Angle has said that he never physically harmed Biggers and doesn't know why she filed for a PFA order against him.
A source close to Ric Flair has confirmed that Flair will be working the Hulkamania - Let the Battle Begin' Tour of Australia. This would be Flair's first match since his WrestleMania 24 match with Shawn Michaels. Eric Bischoff will be traveling to Australia this week to do promotional work for the group. This is interesting because Flair and Bischoff do not get along unless they've worked things out.
Names scheduled for the tour include Diamond Dallas Page, Ken Anderson, Charles "Godfather" Wright, Sean Morley and Lacey Von Erich. Due to their relationship with Hogan, it is expected that Brutus Beefcake and The Nasty Boys will be a part of the tour as well.
- Sheamus defeated Jamie Noble prior to RAW going live tonight. Sheamus cut a pre-match promo about being ECW's top superstar and then challenged any Raw star to a match.
After Raw went off the air, Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes jumped Batista. John Cena then attacked Legacy.
Legacy and Orton got the better of Cena and Orton until DX ran down to the ring and made the save. Orton then took a beating from Michaels, Hunter, Cena, and Batista to wrap up the taping and send everyone home happy.

WWE released a few developmental wrestlers over the weekend including Fletcher Chase (Jason Garrison), Troy Jackman (Ian Richardson) and Aiden Frost (Jason Riggs).
Garrison was signed late last year following John Laurinaitis' visit to Ohio Valley Wrestling. Under the name Fletcher Chase, Garrison played a "book smart" heel. His speaking skills were said to be more advanced than his in-ring work.
Richardson is a former football player who was never able to project a distinct personality in Florida Championship Wrestling.
In Riggs' case, not too many wrestlers get second chances in developmental. He was released in the fall of 2006 but managed to get a second opportunity with the company following a successful tryout at FCW. Unfortunately, he came up short in reaching his dream again. As a result, he has announced his retirement from the industry. His MySpace page currently reads: "I officially retire from sports entertainment."
In addition to the aforementioned three, sources say a few more cuts in developmental were made. Some names are circulating, but they have yet to be confirmed as accurate.
- Former WWE Tag-Team Champion and former La Résistance member Sylvan Grenier is backstage at tonight's PPV and is under the impression WWE will be making him an offer to return.
FayObserver.com spoke with Moore County Police Department officials who explained that they searched the home of Jeff Hardy based on a tip that they received from someone. Following an investigation of the tip, Chief Deputy Neil Godfry said that a search warrant was then obtained.
Hardys arrest is being picked up by most major media outlets and theres quite a buzz about it in North Carolina.
Former TNA Knockout Jenna Morasca recerntly spoke out about her release from the company in an interview with The UK Sun. During the interview, Morasca noted that she was fired from TNA the night before her boyfriend was scheduled for surgery. She also says that she's been in talks with WWE. Morasca said the following: "The surgery was on the Tuesday and it was the first time I had ever asked TNA for time off. I really had to be home to take care of him. They called my agent on Monday night when they knew full well the surgery was on Tuesday and told him that I was fired. I thought the timing was really cruel and insensitive. Considering we weren't doing a taping for another three weeks, why couldn't they have waited a few more days?"
The current TNA tag team champion Booker T says hes missing one singles match against WWE star Shawn Michaels from his career resume, but he doesnt expect that the match will happen. Booker said in an interview that he needs to test himself against Michaels, who he says hes never wrestled in a singles match.
The only guy I havent wrestled in the ring one on one is Shawn Michaels. Hes the only talent I feel I need to test myself against, Booker told the Daily Citizen (Ga.) to promote this weekends TNA house shows in Georgia. Thats the one match that hasnt happened yet it may never happen but thats the one guy.
Booker also talked about his role in TNA. He said hes not concerned about elevating his career because he feels everyone knows who he is. He said his concern is elevating the younger stars. Bookers recent TV storylines have included a feud with AJ Styles over the made-up Legends Title and a tag team feud with Scott Steiner against Beer Money. Booker says he wants to take them to the next level.
For me at this stage of my game, I dont have to do anything for me, Booker said. Its about me trying to bring these guys to another level. My fans follow me all over the world. They know me wherever I go. So its not about me. Its trying to help these guys get to another position.

In the main event, the only Straightedge Champion in WWE history made a tremendous statement about his upcoming match with The Deadman, forcing Matt Hardy to tap out to his excruciating Anaconda Vise.

For the record, Matt didn't bail me out, loan me money, or is his name on anything.. He's just learning about today's situation..
