Matt Hardy def. Kane by Disqualification (PHOTOS | WATCH)
Everyone’s got a limit, and Kane passed his as Matt Hardy evaded everything he threw at him, frustrating The Big Red Monster to the point of ignoring the referee and getting himself disqualified. Hardy fought valiantly against Kane, showing no sign of backing down from his sadistic opponent, but that relentless aggression may have been what caused the massive Superstar to lose himself the match. When Hardy went for the Twist of Fate, Kane blocked it and instead dropped Hardy across the ropes, and despite the ring official’s warnings, he repeated the act two more times prompting the referee to call for the bell. There’s a fury inside of the 7-footer that is always in danger of being unleashed, and unfortunately for Hardy, he was the one who ended up seeing red as Kane made his signature crimson lit exit.

Women’s Champion Michelle McCool & Layla def. Melina & Maria (PHOTOS | WATCH)
The Women’s Champion was certainly less than pleased with her loss to Melina last week on SmackDown, but was most likely happier after Layla helped her achieve redemption with a tag team victory over Melina & Maria. SmackDown’s Divas have shown time and time again that they mean business when they step into the ring, and the battle they waged on “WWE Superstars” was no different. In the end, McCool delivered a vicious boot to Maria’s face while the referee was attending to Melina at ringside, and when he turned around, all he saw was Layla pinning Maria for the win.

Goldust def. William Regal by Disqualification (PHOTOS | WATCH)
After a back-and-forth match, the referee called for the bell disqualifying Regal when Ezekiel Jackson unsuccessfully attempted to take a cheap shot on Goldust behind the referee’s back. Following the match, Regal’s associates, Jackson and Vladimir Kozlov, entered the ring and hit a dual shoulderblock leaving The Bizarre One defenseless as the Blackpool, England native locked him into The Regal Stretch. Thankfully, ECW Champion Christian, Tommy Dreamer and Yoshi Tatsu rushed to Goldust’s aid and cleared the ring of the “ruthless roundtable” before any serious damage could be done to the three-time Intercontinental Champion.

Primo def. Chris Masters (PHOTOS | WATCH)
Though The Masterpiece may have thought he had victory in his grasp as he prepared to lock Primo into The Master Lock, it is a bad idea to underestimate a Superstar as resourceful as the San Juan native. Primo acted quickly, sliding out of The Master Lock attempt and rolling up Masters for the win. After using his strength to dominate much of the match, the powerful Superstar was caught off-guard with the loss and let his temper flair as he watched his opponent make his way to the back with his arms raised. Next time, The Masterpiece will know better than to let the high-flying Primo have any opening on which to capitalize.

Bret Hart opening up to a WWE return?

Credit: F4WOnline.com

For the first time since the infamous "Montreal Screwjob" in 1997, Bret Hart is said to be open to returning to World Wrestling Entertainment as a weekly storyline character.

Hart has had business talks with WWE in recent months, which played a part in the company rehashing "Montreal" at last week's Breaking Point pay-per-view — in case he agrees to return.

While nothing yet has been agreed upon, nor should one expect anything to happen anytime soon, he is no longer against returning to WWE. In the past he has said he didn't see himself ever coming back as a character on television because he could no longer wrestle and didn't want to become some authority figure or manager.

WWE has had talks over the years regarding Hart returning to the company as a character. In fact, Vince McMahon told the creative team in 2006 that he was going to do a street fight with Hart on a pay-per-view. Of course, it never came to be and Hart at the time was saying that he was never going to wrestle again. Apparently, Hart was tentatively penciled in to team up with Shawn Michaels vs. Vince and Shane McMahon at Backlash 2006 instead of "God."

Details on WWE's new female ring announcer

WWE introduced their new announcer at last night’s Smackdown tapings in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Lauren C. Mayhew, 24 years old, has made TV appearances on CSI and American Dreams before and also writes music. It was reported that Vince McMahon was very high on getting someone who could sing as well as announce. It’s possible that Lauren may work the Smackdown brand while one of the veteran announcers go to RAW until she’s ready to take over.

Yoshi Tatsu def. Paul Burchill
Ezekiel Jackson & Vladimir Kozlov def. local competitors
ECW Champion Christian def. Zack Ryder (ECW Title Match)

TULSA, Okla. – Zack Ryder has finally been silenced – at least for one night – and it took the ECW Champion to do it. Christian retained the Extreme gold Tuesday in a hard-fought battle against ECW’s brashest Superstar, Ryder. But after the match, William Regal made an ominous return and called out the ECW Champion.

ECW Champion Christian def. Zack Ryder (PHOTOS | WATCH)
Captain Charisma could not be stopped by The Zack Attack. With plenty of Peeps cheering him on in the BOK Center, Christian successfully defended the ECW Championship against Zack Ryder. Despite Ryder’s strong efforts, he could not woo the ECW Title away from the Captain. After a devastating Killswitch, Christian pinned the cocky, young Superstar for the win on ECW on Syfy.

Christian’s ECW Championship celebration was quickly soured when William Regal interrupted to say the night’s title defense was a farce. “Sooner or later I’m going to be the No. 1 contender,” The British Brawler said. “So it’s only a matter of time before I become the ECW…” Christian promptly silenced Regal, attacking him with the ECW Championship, sending a message that he’s not about to back down.

Who will Christian have to defend his ECW Championship against next? Will Regal fulfill his wish to become No. 1 contender again?

“The Abraham Washington Show” with Sheamus and Shelton Benjamin (PHOTOS | WATCH)
ECW’s critically-acclaimed “The Abraham Washington Show” brought two special guests to the Sooner State Tuesday night. The host-with-the-most, Washington, poked fun at his first guest, Sheamus’ pale complexion, while his sidekick, WWE Hall of Famer Tony Atlas, joked that the Irishman sounded like the Lucky Charms leprechaun. This only fueled The Celtic Warrior’s frustration toward the talk show’s next guest, Shelton Benjamin.

Sheamus, who was angry about the outcome of his tag team match with Benjamin two weeks ago, as well as The Gold Standard’s elimination of him during last week’s Battle Royal, said that where he comes from, “It’s an eye for an eye.” Benjamin responded that in America, a team win is still a win, and continued the show’s laugh-fest at Sheamus’ expense. On the TitanTron, Sheamus’ “family tree” appeared, depicting some of his red-haired “relatives,” such as Ronald McDonald, Carrot Top and Bozo the Clown. The seething Celtic Warrior then attacked Benjamin, turning “The Abraham Washington Show” into a brawl, which had to be broken up by WWE security.

When will these two finally meet in one-on-one action to settle their score? And when will “The Abraham Washington” not end with a showdown?

Yoshi Tatsu def. Paul Burchill (PHOTOS | WATCH)
One of ECW’s newest Superstars, Yoshi Tatsu, earned another Extreme victory this week. The Japanese Superstar showed off his incredible in-ring skills and high-kicked his way to a win against Paul Burchill as The Ripper’s sinister sister, Katie Lea, watched from ringside. Tatsu is on a singles winning streak. What’s next for this impressive, young Superstar?

After his loss, Burchill retreated to the locker room area where Gregory Helms waited, hoping to interview Katie Lea. As soon as he spotted his sister talking to Helms, an irate Burchill attacked him. For weeks Burchill has been obsessed with trying to prove his theory that Helms is The Hurricane. Will the angry Englishman confirm his suspicions? Will Helms retaliate?

Ezekiel Jackson & Vladimir Kozlov def. local competitors (PHOTOS | WATCH)
With William Regal in their corner, Ezekiel Jackson & Vladimir Kozlov easily muscled their way to a victory on ECW. This unstoppable duo bulldozed their way through two outmatched local competitors, then celebrated with their associate, Regal, in the aftermath. Who will dare step in their path next? And will this pair try to help Regal weasel his way to another ECW Championship Match?

Ironic Big Show interview about backstage fights

WWE.com has an excerpt from an interview they did with Big Show for November’s WWE Magazine.

One question that was asked, keeping in mind the recent backstage incident he was involved in,

“We can’t imagine anyone has ever picked a fight with you outside of the ring.

Actually, it’s the opposite. People try to fight me all the time. They’ll get some liquid courage flowing through their veins, and they’ll say they can take me. I’ll respond with, “Where? Out to dinner?” or something funny that diffuses the situation. I try to laugh it off. Someone might antagonize me, but it will never escalate.”

When asked about the other big men in WWE, Big Show said the following:

“Mark Henry is one of the strongest people I have ever been in the ring with — he can tear your arms out of their sockets. And Kane is big and strong, too, but he’s a different kind of big. And Khali? Well, he’s just a tall guy who can do a lot of push-ups.”

Beth Phoenix def. Divas Champion Mickie James
United States Champion Kofi Kingston vs. Jack Swagger (No contest)
Cedric the Entertainer def. Chavo Guerrero
Randy Orton & Unified Tag Team Champions Chris Jericho & Big Show def. WWE Champion John Cena, MVP & Mark Henry

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - Let him entertain you. And that's just what Hollywood heavyweight Cedric the Entertainer did when he rolled up as Raw's special guest host. The actor, director and round mound of get-down rocked the WWE Universe by arranging a few amazing matches, including one featuring Cedric himself! 

Randy Orton & Unified Tag Team Champions Chris Jericho & Big Show def. WWE Champion John Cena, MVP & Mark Henry (PHOTOS | WATCH)
The stakes were plenty high before any of the six Superstars set foot in the ring. Randy Orton & Unified Tag Team Champions Chris Jericho & Big Show were prepared to clash with WWE Champion John Cena, MVP & Mark Henry. As he made his way to the ring, however, Jericho upped the ante. The arrogant Superstar informed Orton that the loser of the match – either Orton or Cena – would be forced to compete in a 3-on-1 Gauntlet Match next week; Orton would face Cena, MVP & Henry, while Cena must compete against Orton, Jericho & Show.

As the match got underway, each team seemed bent on proving dominance, especially the two men with the most at stake. As a result, Orton was not about to relinquish any advantage he may acquire so close to WWE Hell in a Cell. With that, The Viper struck, administering an RKO to Henry to claim victory for his team and ensuring that next Monday night, Cena will be staring into the blinding headlights of three runaway tractor trailers each barreling furiously in his direction.

Raw bids farewell to ring announcer and WWE Diva Lilian Garcia (PHOTOS)
After 10 years with WWE, the beautiful Lilian Garcia thanked the WWE Universe and informed everyone that Monday was her final night greeting fans, belting out the national anthem and announcing the start of matches. WWE.com wishes Lilian all the best.

Rev. Al Sharpton to guest host next Monday night’s Raw
Hallelujah! The controversial and always entertaining Rev. Al Sharpton is scheduled to act as guest host next week when Monday Night Raw touches down in Albany, N.Y.

Cedric the Entertainer def. Chavo Guerrero (PHOTOS | WATCH)
The humiliation continues. This time, rather than Hornswoggle, it was Cedric the Entertainer who was responsible for disgracing the proud “Mexican Warrior,” Chavo Guerrero. Cedric approached the ring in a luchador outfit complete with mask. During the match, Cedric climbed out of the ring and fled underneath the squared circle. When he reappeared, “Cedric” seemed significantly larger than before. Special guest referee Santino Marella appeared clueless to the size shift while the sizeable Cedric then hammered Chavo before hopping back under the ring only to emerge as a significantly smaller masked Cedric – you might even say he was the size of Hornswoggle. “Ced-swoggle” then hit Chavo with a Tadpole Splash before crawling back under the ring. Then the “real” Cedric popped up and quickly covered the hapless Chavo for the win.

United States Champion Kofi Kingston vs. Jack Swagger (ended in a No Contest) (PHOTOS | WATCH)
United States Champion Kofi Kingston may need a Lo-Jack for his title. While the Jamaican Superstar battled Jack Swagger, that awesome annoyance, The Miz, once again attempted to pinch the gold. Unlike last week, however, “The All-American American” put the kibosh on Miz’s plans and ran off with the title himself. While this match ended with no victor, the three will meet again in a Triple Threat Match at WWE Hell in a Cell.

Beth Phoenix def. Divas Champion Mickie James (PHOTOS | WATCH)
Mickie James can’t seem to wipe off the bull’s-eye on her back. The Divas Champion faced off against Beth Phoenix as the No. 1 contender to her title, Alicia Fox, looked on from ringside. Fox wouldn’t stay put for long. The leggy lovely managed to distract the Divas Champion long enough for The Glamazon to take advantage and notch the victory. With the champion dazed, Fox then pummeled Mickie before exiting the ring bearing a self-satisfied grin.

During a WWE Hell in a Cell contract signing, Randy Orton & Unified Tag Team Champs Chris Jericho & Big Show confronted WWE Champ John Cena, MVP & Mark Henry; the two sides will face off in main event (PHOTOS | WATCH)
Some men resort to sly, underhanded and treacherous tricks to achieve their goals. Other men prepare themselves for just such deceit. Such was the case when Randy Orton and WWE Champion John Cena met in the ring to sign the contracts for their WWE Hell in a Cell Match. After emphasizing the fact that Cena has never competed in a Hell in a Cell bout, Orton ushered out Unified Tag Team Champs Chris Jericho & Big Show, who promptly surrounded The Champ. Cena, however, had backup.

MVP & Mark Henry rolled up to show their allegiance to Cena. As the six glared intently at one another, guest host Cedric the Entertainer informed them that despite a “no physicality” clause in the pair’s contract, the comedian was going to waive the rule and arrange a match between the two groups at the end of the evening.

The Miz def. Evan Bourne (PHOTOS | WATCH)
The Miz was forced to taste a few drops of his own medicine – and the egomaniac didn’t much care for it. After stealing Kofi Kingston’s United States Championship last week, Miz, while being interviewed, found himself on the receiving end of an attack by Kingston, who rightly took back his title. Just minutes after the just desserts were served, however, a still smarting Miz proved his resilience by defeating high-flyer Evan Bourne.

Chavo Guerrero challenged Raw guest host Cedric the Entertainer (PHOTOS | WATCH)
Cedric the Entertainer has long since earned his moniker. The comedian and star of the new DVD, All-Star Comedy Jam, and director of a movie you can help name by clicking here, showed his chops when Santino Marella tried to “audition.” While The Milan Miracle bombed, Chavo Guerrero left Cedric in stitches until the comedian finally realized that Guerrero hadn’t been losing to Hornswoggle on purpose for the last two months. So incensed was the so-called “Mexican Warrior” that he challenged Cedric. With Marella accepting on his behalf, Cedric would face Guerrero one-on-one.

Triple H vs. Cody Rhodes (ended in a No Contest) (PHOTOS | WATCH)
Be careful what you wish for. That’s one lesson among many for The Legacy, who received a dream match-up against DX at WWE Breaking Point and pulled off the biggest upset of their young career. Now, however, Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase must face Shawn Michaels & Triple H again at WWE Hell in a Cell inside Satan’s Structure.

For his part, Michaels was the first man to win a Hell in a Cell Match while The Game has won more of the sadistic bouts than any other Superstar. Before the teams square off in two weeks, though, The Legacy made quite a statement. Triple H faced Rhodes on Raw as their respective partners looked on. The match devolved, though, when Rhodes & DiBiase slammed Michaels outside of the ring before attacking Triple H with a chair inside the ring. When the duo left The Game immobile in the center of the ring, they submitted one more piece of evidence that they could indeed be the future of WWE.

Jim Cornette speaks about his TNA release

A new Jim Cornette audio commentary has been posted, which you can check out at http://whosslammingwho.podomatic.com/ The audio update is roughly 35-minutes long, and Cornette discusses his departure from TNA. Here are the highlights:

Terry Taylor, Dixie Carter and everyone at TNA felt that he wasn't 100% with creative which is why it would hamper him doing his job. Cornette agrees that he was not 100% behind Vince Russo, and knows that they would never completely agree. Cornette and Russo did have talks over the phone about creative.

Dixie Carter told him that she appreciates all of his contributions and that the door is always open for him to return if he's 100% with the creative direction, they'd love to have him back in the future. Cornette again said that he would likely never be 10% behind Russo, but that his conversation with Carter ended on a happy note.

Cornette says that Carter wants to win, and that she feels it is important for everyone to be on the same page. The ending of his run was professional, there was no big fight, no screaming. TNA simply picked Russo over him, and to him that is not a big deal. He tolerated Russo, as was asked of him, but again, was not behind him 100%. He was on TNA's team, and while there is no animosity with Russo, again, he just cannot follow him 100%.

Cornette again says that there was no big blow up as the Sun falsely reported. TNA had to make the best decision for TNA, and since he couldn't follow the creative direction completely, he was off of the team.

When he found out that Ed Ferrara was coming to the No Surrender PPV his feelings were a bit hurt, but it is what it is. TNA had the right to make the decisions that they did. They have a creative plan and are putting people in pace that will follow and execute that.

Cornette said that he would absolutely return to TNA. WWE lied to him and screwed him, and they did it for personal reasons. What TNA did was not personal, it was business. He has no ill will towards TNA, and says that there need to be that alternative. He again says that he cannot say he is 100% behind Russo and Ferrara, and that he tried to fix the way Russo does some things, but it just wasn't meant to be. He does admit that Russo is a lot easier to get along with these days.

When asked, he says that he will not return to WWE, but that he may work with OVW again. He wishes TNA all the best, and says that if things change (Russo and Ferrara) and they want him back, that he would be interested.

In the end, Sting took out Matt Morgan so AJ could hit a big splash on Kurt Angle to get the pin and win the gold! After the huge victory, Daniels came out to celebrate with The Phenomenal One as a new era begins in TNA Wrestling!
