William Regal def. The Hurricane Yoshi Tatsu def. Zack Ryder Zack Ryder wins the 10-Man Battle Royal
HAMILTON, Ontario, Canada Woo woo woo! Theres a new No. 1 contender in the Land of the Extreme Zack Ryder. With a huge victory in Tuesdays 10-Man Battle Royal on ECW on Syfy, Ryder earned his chance at Christians ECW Championship. You know it!
Zack Ryder wins a 10-Man Battle Royal (PHOTOS | WATCH) Zack Ryder earned his chance at ECW gold Tuesday night, besting nine other Extreme Superstars: Tommy Dreamer, Goldust, Tyler Reks, Yoshi Tatsu, Shelton Benjamin, Ezekiel Jackson, Vladimir Kozlov, Paul Burchill and Sheamus. One by one, Ryder watched as his opponents were tossed over the top rope, oftentimes merely staying out of harms way. But as the final four competitors faced off, Ryder eliminated Goldust to whittle his opponents down to two. Then, Dreamer assisted Kozlov over the ropes, leading to Ryders chance to capitalize on the situation. The ECW Originals back was turned and Ryder tossed Dreamer over, becoming the new No. 1 contender to the ECW Championship.
With the Zack Pack in his corner, will Ryder become the next ECW Champion? When will he face Captain Charisma for the title?
William Regal def. The Hurricane (PHOTOS | WATCH) Two days after his WWE Breaking Point loss to ECW Champion Christian, an angry William Regal demanded a rematch. But ECW General Manager Tiffany denied The British Brawler and explained he wouldnt compete in the main event 10-Man Battle Royal, either. (WATCH) The irate Regal took his frustrations out on his ECW on Syfy opponent, The Hurricane, and earned a victory after pulling the Knee Trembler.
Without warning, the masked Superstars rival, Paul Burchill, capitalized, brutally attacking him from behind. Later, during a locker room area interview with Savannah, Burchill explained he attacked The Hurricane for putting his sister, Katie Lea, in harms way the previous week. The Ripper also said hes still determined to prove his theory that The Hurricane and Gregory Helms are the same person.
Will Burchill confirm his suspicions and get revenge on his nemesis? Or will The Hurricane finally put a stop to Burchills sinister actions in the Land of the Extreme?
Yoshi Tatsu def. Zack Ryder (PHOTOS | WATCH) Before winning Tuesdays 10-Man Battle Royal, Zack Ryders night wasnt exactly an easy ride to No. 1 contendership. The cocky Long Islander rudely interrupted Yoshi Tatsus English lesson with Goldust, calling him a loser. (WATCH) But the Japanese newcomer got the last laugh during their match. Always staying one step ahead of his opponent, Tatsu impressively earned a victory over the soon-to-be No. 1 contender after hitting him with a high kick to the head.
Because the Smackdown roster has undergone a sudden depletion of star power with Edge being out for an extended period of time due to injury, Rey Mysterio being suspended, and Jeff Hardy leaving the company, WWE made the decision to bring Batista over to Friday nights to add some star power to the show.
As reported, Ric Flair will be wrestling on the 'Hulkamania - Let the Battle Begin' Tour of Australia. Flair has signed a three-year deal with Hogan's promotion, and will be the main opponent for Hogan on the tour.
This deal also includes plans for a joint Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair reality show to be shot during the tour.
According to Dave Meltzer, the promotion has contacted Jeff Hardy to work the tour. The idea is that Hogan/Flair would be one main event for older fans while someone like Hardy would be in the other main event for the current wrestling audience.
The plan for the promotion will be to run regular international tours. This has been an idea of Hogan and Eric Bischoff for years. With Hogan and Flair going through expensive divorces, it apparently became a lot easier for them to commit to this project.
On G4's X-Play today they covered the upcoming Smackdown vs. Raw 2010 video game. Even interviewing some superstars. Most notably Matt Hardy where he takes a small stab at Triple H. He was asked what kind of story he's going to create in the new story creator feature. He said that he'd have his character marry the boss' daughter so he could have full control of the show, and make it the best show possible. He doesn't partically say that he'd push him self to the top, like many think Triple H has. But I think it's worth something.

A source close to Ric Flair confirmed this afternoon that Ric Flair is indeed going to work the Hulkamania Australian tour and yes, he will be wrestling Hulk Hogan.
The story originally broke last week that Flair was in negotiations to work the tour. The November matches will be the first official Flair wrestling matches since his Wrestlemania 24 retirement match against Shawn Michaels.
Eric Bischoff is traveling to Australia this week to do promotional work for the four day tour, titled Hulkamania Let the Battle Begin.
According to a post on his Twitter page, Ken "Mr. Kennedy" Anderson has noted that he, along with former WWE stars Val Venis and Umaga, will be working the upcoming "Hulkamania" tour in Australia which will be headlined by Ric Flair vs Hulk Hogan.
Additionally, former WWE star Shannon Moore has noted on his Twitter page that he will also be working the "Hulkamania" tour this November.
Jeff Hardy's first court date following his arrest on Friday is currently scheduled for Wednesday, September 30th. North Carolina court records show Hardy is officially faced with three separate charges.
The hearing on 9/30 is the initial step in the legal process. The court will read the charges against Hardy, who will enter his plea. Depending on his plea, a potential trial to evaluate evidence and reach a verdict will then be scheduled for a later date.
Hardy's three separate charges are officially listed as:
- Misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia - Felony possession of cocaine and Felony maintaining a dwelling for drug use and possible distribution - Felony drug trafficking of opium and two counts of Felony possession with intent to redistribute a Schedule III drug.
Val Venis, The Godfather and Umaga were present in Los Angeles yesterday for a photo shoot to promote the Hulkamania - Let the Battle Begin Australian tour, Ken Anderson announced on his twitter.
Considering their appearance yesterday, it is likely they will work the tour too - Umaga obviously won't be using that name if he does.
Several major Australian cities are set to host the four date tour which will start in November.
According to PWRShow.com, both Jim Cornette and Brian "Road Dogg" Armstrong have been release from the company as of Tuesday afternoon.
Cornette had an on camera role and Armstrong was a backstage agent and House Show agent for the company. Armstrong has been a long-time Jeff Jarrett ally.
The Miz & Jack Swagger def. United States Champion Kofi Kingston & Primo Alicia Fox def. Gail Kim Shawn Michaels vs. Ted DiBiase (no contest) Evan Bourne & Hornswoggle def. Chavo Guerrero & Carlito Trish Stratus, MVP & Mark Henry def. Beth Phoenix & Unified Tag Team Champions Chris Jericho & Big Show Batista def. Randy Orton
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.
Former WWE superstar Jeff Hardy is thanking fans for their support in the wake of his Friday arrest for drug trafficking. Hardy wrote a message on Twitter on Monday morning stating, "Thanks for your undying support-Love u guys!" He also encouraged his followers to add a "Twibbon" to their avatars, which is a small icon that allows Twitter users to show support for a particular cause. The description of Jeff Hardy's Twibbon icon reads, "To show Jeff Hardy that we all support him and love him no matter what. That we as fans stand beside him thru everything!

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.
