United States Champion The Miz def. Evan Bourne Sheamus def. Jamie Noble Kofi Kingston, MVP & Mark Henry def. Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase Alicia Fox def. Kelly Kelly, Eve, Gail Kim, Brie Bella and Nikki Bella in a Divas Battle Royal Unified Tag Team Champion Chris Jericho def. WWE Champion John Cena and Unified Tag Team Champion Big Show in a Non-title Triple Threat Match
WORCESTER, Mass. - Despite a clear lack of guitar, drums and satanic imagery, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne rocked the DCU Center nonetheless. The heavy metal madman and maven entered to the energetic screams of the WWE Universe and proceeded to arrange a scorching set list for the evening.
Chris Jericho def. WWE Champion John Cena and Big Show in a Non-title Triple Threat Match (PHOTOS | WATCH) At Survivor Series, WWE Champion John Cena will face down Triple H and Shawn Michaels in a Triple Threat Match. That same evening, Big Show and Chris Jericho will battle each other and The Undertaker in their own three-way encounter. Tonight, however, Cena, Show and Jericho were compelled to clash with one another in a Triple Threat Match that would put alliances to the test.
Consider that test aced. The Unified Tag Team Champions not only bested Cena when Jericho scored the pin, the two worked in tandem to punish The Champ when he was down. When DX, who had been sitting ringside to observe, charged the ring to mount a defense, Show & Jericho also managed to pummel them, leaving Triple H, HBK and Cena woozy on the canvas as the Unified Tag Team Champions beamed down at their handy work.
Ricky Hatton to serve as Raw special guest host next week When Raw hops the pond to England next Monday night, native son and former world welterweight champion Ricky Hatton will go the distance as Raws special guest host. The show, featuring the boxing great, is sure to pack a wallop, so dont miss any of the action.
Alicia Fox won Divas Battle Royal to become No. 1 contender for Divas Championship (PHOTOS | WATCH) Alicia Fox climbed into the squared circle with Eve, Kelly Kelly, Gail Kim and Brie and Nikki Bella as each of the sexy, smart and powerful Divas vied to become the No. 1 contender for the Divas Title. Current champion Melina watched as Kelly Kelly eliminated Gail. Then, as Eve looked to be in fine position, Jack Swagger strolled down to the ring to watch the match, distracting Eve and allowing Alicia to capitalize. The leggy Diva then eliminated Kelly Kelly for the victory, guaranteeing her an opportunity at capturing the Butterfly.
The Osbournes and The Great Khali hosted Raws Got Talent (PHOTOS | WATCH) In her role as a judge on Americas Got Talent, Sharon Osbourne has seen her share of talent-needy contestants. However, when Sharon, her husband Ozzy and The Great Khali lined up to judge the first-ever Raws Got Talent, the three were confronted with what can best be described as talent-impoverished Superstars.
First up, Santino Marella did his best Ozzy and bit the head off of a Batman doll. Next up, Chris Masters flexed his sizable pecs to the music of Crazy Train. The final insult, though, arrived courtesy of Chavo Guerrero and Jillian, who massacred the Ozzy-Lita Ford duet Close My Eyes Forever. Compounding the abomination, the tone-deaf Diva then belted out her rendition of Britney Spears Oops, I Did It Again.
Sharon would have none of it. She insisted that Jillian pipe down before unleashing a well deserved slap across the face. After Chavo began screaming at Ozzy to control his wife, Khali quickly laid out the self-proclaimed Mexican Warrior. Then, Hornswoggle, dressed as a young Jack Osbourne, climbed to the top rope and dropped a Tadpole Splash, effectively pulling the plug on Chavo.
Kofi Kingston, MVP & Mark Henry def. Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase (PHOTOS | WATCH) Randy Orton probably figured he could ambush Kofi Kingston last week and get away with it. After all, he and his Legacy henchmen are an intimidating trio. Unfortunately for Orton, Kofi doesnt intimidate easily. In fact, once struck by The Viper, Kofi trained his considerable ire on Orton, destroying the prized NASCAR auto given to him by Legacy.
Kofi wasnt finished there, though. This week, he faced Orton in singles competition and appeared to be getting the best of his rival when Orton bailed from the ring and regrouped with Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase in a plan to attack his opponent. Raw guest hosts Ozzy and Sharon had anticipated the dastardly deed, however, and quickly arranged for Orton & Legacy to face Kofi and his new partners, MVP & Mark Henry.
Once Randy Orton tried to get dirty by pulling Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase into his match with Kofi Kingston, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne forced The Viper and his Legacy crew into a Six-Man Tag Team Match against Kofi, MVP & Mark Henry. The six Superstars traded blows until The Worlds Strongest Man sealed the victory for his squad with help from Kofi, who nailed Orton with a heavy-hitting crescendo sending him flying out of the ring. Moments later, Rhodes found himself trapped under Henry, who scored the pin for his team.
Sheamus def. Jamie Noble (PHOTOS | WATCH) Sheamus is not to be trifled with. The Celtic Warrior made a strong statement last week, during his Raw debut, that he will be a force to reckon with on Monday nights. Slamming an exclamation point on that statement, Sheamus again punished his opponent, Jamie Noble, and vowed to end the career of the West Virginia native. The Celtic Warrior may have even lived up to his vow; he left Noble motionless outside the ring, forcing EMTs to carry him out on a stretcher.
United States Champion The Miz def. Evan Bourne (PHOTOS | WATCH) Last week, United States Champion The Miz found himself counted out during his loss to the high-flying Evan Bourne. Perhaps thats why the arrogant athlete was none too pleased to be forced to put his title on the line against Air Bourne. With his gold hanging in the balance, Miz focused his game, and this time, he managed to ground Bourne to retain his title.
Raw guest hosts Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne arranged a series of matches (PHOTOS | WATCH) Despite a clear lack of guitar, drums and satanic imagery, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne rocked the DCU Center nonetheless. The heavy metal madman and maven entered to the energetic screams of the WWE Universe and proceeded to arrange a scorching set list for the evening.
Before they could, however, they were confronted by a host of disgruntled Superstars, including United States Champion The Miz, Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase and Unified Tag Team Champion Big Show. Each grumbled about a perceived injustice they faced during the prior weeks Raw and made a series of demands of Ozzy and Sharon.
Instead, DX joined the proceedings and assisted the Osbournes in arranging the nights matches much to the dismay of the other Superstars. The first match arranged will pit The Miz in a title bout against Evan Bourne. Secondly, the duo helped Sharon set Kofi Kingston in a match versus Randy Orton. And finally, Ozzy, despite Big Shows protests, arranged a Triple Threat Match pitting The Worlds Largest Athlete against WWE Champion John Cena and Chris Jericho.
ROCHESTER, N.Y. After proving its show superiority at WWE Bragging Rights, SmackDown turned its full attention to all-out Survival.
Unified Tag Team Champion Chris Jericho def. Kane Jericho earned a World Heavyweight Championship opportunity at Survivor Series (PHOTOS | WATCH) Following a controversial victory by The SmackDown Seven this past Sunday, co-captains Jericho and Kane both attempted to collect a golden opportunity from their SmackDown General Manager. As a result, Theodore Long announced that the two Superstars would face each other, with the winner being inserted into the World Title Match at Survivor Series between World Heavyweight Champion Undertaker and Big Show.(PHOTOS | WATCH)
When the smoked cleared at the end of the night, it was the first-ever Undisputed WWE Champion who reigned supreme over The Big Red Machine, executing the Codebreaker as Kane was descending from the top rope. The huge victory propelled Jericho into an explosive Triple Threat World Heavyweight Championship Match at Survivor Series (Match preview).
Problems intensified between Rey Mysterio and Batista (PHOTOS | WATCH) At WWE Bragging Rights, Batista snapped on his comrade-in-arms Rey Mysterio, blaming the masked Superstar for costing him the gold against The Phenom. And while Mysterio returned to SmackDown trying to rectify the situation, The Animal wanted to have no part of it. Instead, Batista demanded The Master of the 619 leave his ring. Mysterio continuously refused, trying desperately to fix things between himself and his best friend. Finally, an incensed Batista walked away.
Later, when Matt Hardy tried to prevent Batista from making the same mistakes he did against a brother, Batista responded by throwing him into a chain link fence (WATCH). As a result, The Animal will take on Hardy next week.
Dolph Ziggler def. Intercontinental Champion John Morrison by count-out (PHOTOS | WATCH) Though Dolph Ziggler may be Mr. Ziggles to The Shaman of Sexy, his name was Mr. Winner this week on SmackDown. After Ziggler avoided Starship Pain by exiting the ring, he used both quick thinking and the announce table to incapacitate The Friday Night Delight long enough to pick up the win by count-out.
Beth Phoenix def. local athlete (PHOTOS | WATCH) The Fabulous Firebird followed up her crucial Team Blue pinfall in the SmackDown vs. Raw Divas Tag Team Match this past Sunday by decimating a local competitor with the powerful Glam Slam.
Matt Hardy def. Eric Escobar (PHOTOS | WATCH) Despite a knee injury, Matt Hardy hit a surprise neckbreaker to overcome newcomer Eric Escobar in a hard-fought rematch of their WWE Bragging Rights qualifier two weeks ago. The loss marked Escobars first singles defeat in WWE.
Drew McIntyre vs. Finlay ended in a No Contest (PHOTOS | WATCH) Drew McIntyre - the Superstar personally signed by Mr. McMahon - attacked Finlay before their match could begin. His brutal yet effective assault on The Belfast Brawler served as yet another example by The Scottish Superstar that the party has just begun.
Cryme Tyme presented the: Diva Halloween Costume Contest (PHOTOS | WATCH) With JTG and Shad at the mic, Natalya, Layla, Michelle McCool and Mickie James went Halloween, modeling their costumes before the WWE Universe as only the smart, sexy, and powerful could. But when Mickie James won the contest, beautiful bedlam quickly ensued. Though Mickie made short work of both Natalya and Layla, her offense came to a sudden halt, thanks to a vicious kick by Michelle.
CM Punk def. Scott Armstrong (PHOTOS | WATCH) One week after losing the World Heavyweight Championship Submission Match to The Demon of Death Valley, The Straightedge Superstar was given a match against official Scott Armstrong by Mr. McMahon himself. Though Armstrong refused to go down easy, hitting Punk with some good punches, in the end, The Second City Saint made quick work of his outmatched opponent with the GTS.
Low-Ki (Kaval) and Dos Caras Jr (Antonio Banderas, Dos, among others) have been two of WWEs most talked about developmental wrestlers in recent memory. Neither, however, has been particularly active as of late.
F4WOnline.coms Wrestling Observer Newsletter, however, maintains that both are still under WWE contract.
Low-Ki is still on the official roster but has missed time to deal with a knee surgery . Those Dos Caras Jr was not on the FCW websites roster at press time, he, too, is believed to still be part of WWEs developmental unit.
Last night's edition of TNA iMPACT! did a 1.3 cable rating., up from recent weeks. We're guessing that Hulk Hogan's signing had to do with the increased rating. That is a 20% jump and also went head-to-head with the World Series which did over 19 million viewers on FOX which is crazy good.
Last night's edition of WWE Superstars did a 0.9 cable rating. The replay did a 0.2 cable rating.
The October 29 edition of TNA iMPACT on Spike TV scored a 1.3 cable rating, with an average audience of 1.7 million viewers up against the Major League Baseball World Series. TNA was ranked #2 in the Males 18-49 demographic among basic cable networks, with a 1.10 in that demo -- their highest since April of this year. The footage of Hulk Hogan's press conference was the lowest rated segment of the show, while the trend of Scott Steiner being in the highest rated segment continued. This was TNAs largest average audience since July. Here is a complete breakdown of the quarter-hour ratings:
Q1: 1.21 - Kurt Angle/Desmond Wolfe promo; AJ/Joe promo Q2: 1.27 - Tara vs. Alyssa Flash; Team 3D promo Q3: 1.26 - Machine Guns vs. 3D; Steiner promo; Young vs. Lashley Q4: 1.30 - Young vs. Lashley; Steiner run-in; Nash promo; AJ/Daniels promo Q5: 1.24 - The Beautiful People vs. Christy Hemme & Hamada Q6: 1.19 - Abyss vs. Dr Stevie; Matt Morgan vs. Rhino Q7: 1.24 - Samoa Joe/Daniels promo; Homicide attacks Don West; Kurt promo Q8: 1.18 - Kurt Angle vs. Desmond Wolfe; Hogan press conference
Frankie Kazarian asked for his release from TNA at the last set of television tapings because he's been frustrated with the creative direction for his character, Suicide. Management initially agreed to grant him the release, but AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels soothed over the situation and his release was never finalized.
"When I woke up and realized I should be my own man and be responsible for being happy, I realized I still have a lot to contribute to the wrestling business. And jumping into TNA [Total Nonstop Action] and being a part of that company is huge. I have a chance to give back and help these young wrestlers who don't understand the business and the art form."
- Thanks to Dylan Wolfe and PWInsider for these TNA iMPACT spoilers that air on October 29th:
Krystal Marshall-Lashley is sitting ringside again.
Desmond Wolf opens Impact saying hes not the next best thing he is the One. He tears down the U.S. and then moves on to Angle, claiming he didnt win his gold medal he only claimed it on points.

TNA Legends Championship: Eric Young vs. Bobby Lashley Steiner goes after Krystal Marshall and Bobby goes to help her. He knocks Steiner out and gets back in the ring. Steiner comes to the ring and hits Lashley with a chair for the DQ.
Eric Young is still in the ring and World Elite comes out sporting some new white track suits. The British Invasion has been suspended without pay for assaulting Slick Johnson last week. But it was Beer Moneys last shot so they just had to leave with the belts. Young says he just handed Lashley his first TNA defeat. He changes the Legends Title to the TNA Global Championship, stating he wont defend it on American soil or against an American. Kevin Nash comes out with a chair. He says that the deal was that he leaves BFG with the Legends Title and $60,000 cash he says Bashir gave him 60,000 Iranian dollars. Beer Money comes in through the crowd and attacks World Elite.
Beautiful People vs. ODB, Hamada, and Christy Hemme. The Beautiful People win after Lacey hits a chokeslam on Hemme Post match, Kongs music plays and she makes her way to the ring but is jumped by Tara. Security struggles and eventually breaks the two up.

Cryme Tyme & R-Truth def. The Hart Dynasty & Mike Knox (PHOTOS | WATCH) The Hart Dynasty and R-Truth may have stood together victorious as part of Team SmackDown at WWE Bragging Rights, but on WWE Superstars, Friday nights rapping Superstar denied David Hart Smith & Tyson Kidd the opportunity to achieve victory again. For the last several weeks, Cryme Tyme and The Hart Dynasty have proven to be evenly matched, and it was the variable of their partners that tipped the scales in one teams favor on this time. In the end, Truths speed and agility were too much, allowing him to pick up the pin over Kidd and have his hand raised with Cryme Tyme.
Zack Ryder def. Tyler Reks (PHOTOS | WATCH) Though Ryder may have a loud mouth, there is no reason for him to quiet down after picking up a victory against a formidable opponent like Reks. In a battle between east and west coasts, it was the Long Island native who stood tall despite his opponent giving all he had. When Ryder set up for the Zack Attack, it was all over with Rekss lights being turned out and Zack getting the 1-2-3.
Alicia Fox def. Kelly Kelly (PHOTOS | WATCH) Unfortunately for Kelly Kelly, the smart, sexy and powerful Diva was unable to get a repeat of her success the week before with Alicia Fox taking home the win. Though Kelly fought with all her heart, Alicia was riding full throttle and had an answer for everything thrown her way. The Foxy Floridian capped it all off with a vicious scissor kick to her Raw rival and followed up with the pin leaving Kelly a bit worse for wear with a notch in the loss column.
Jack Swagger def. Primo (PHOTOS | WATCH) Since The All-American American promised to go undefeated through the rest of the year, he has been successful in singles action and continued on that same path this week with a win over Primo. It wasnt easy by any means, as the former Unified Tag Team Champion went at Swagger with a flurry of offense, but in the end, the two-time collegiate All-American was just too powerful for his opponent, connecting with a devastating Gutwrench Powerbomb to secure his triumph.
- Samoa Joe was fuming mad after Bound For Glory when some kind of barbecue for friends of his he had planned at the show didn't happen. Somehow the deal didn't go through and he was furious to the point where there was a chance he would have been sent home before the pay-per-view began.
- It is being said that Ken Anderson (Mr. Kennedy) is not involved in the Hulk Hogan/TNA deal and his main priority right now is trying to get an acting career going.
- Rob Van Dam is said to be looking for an easy schedule and good money and is open to wrestling again on those terms. RVD has an affiliation with Hogan and Eric Bischoff so him going to TNA seems more of a possibility than ever before.
- Even though he wants to wrestle again, Diamond Dallas Page has said that he doesn't have plans to go back to TNA or work on Hulk Hogan's Australian tour.
- Despite rumors going around, it is not expected that Steve Austin will have anything to do with TNA. Austin does not get along well with either Hulk Hogan or Eric Bischoff. In addition to that, his attitude is similar to The Rock where he is trying to stay as far away from wrestling as possible while pursuing an acting career.
- At this point, Ric Flair has not confirmed or denied involvement with the Hogan/TNA deal.
- Goldberg has made it clear that he is not interested in joining TNA as long as Vince Russo is around.
Word got out several days ago that TNA star Eric Young was about to undergo throat surgery. After today's operation, Jeremy Borash posted the following update on his Twitter account:
"Eric Young had successful surgery today and is home recovering. He will not miss any time from the ring."
- There has been a lot of concern lately within WWE that Edge wont return to the ring in time for Wrestlemania. His injury is one you really cant rush back from if its not 100% healed.
There are rumors of TNA Wrestling adding a second weekly television show to compete with Raw on Monday nights, but nothing has been confirmed. I'm told this is one of the first things that Eric Bischoff and Hulk Hogan want to accomplish as they feel to be perceived as a legitimate threat they have to get on cable TV on Monday nights. Eric Bischoff has been down this road before with WCW and obviously is hoping that history repeats itself.
WWE developmental talent Byron Saxton (real name Bryan Kelly) debuted as the newest member of WWE's announce team on tonight's edition of ECW on SyFy. Saxton, who is a former newscaster, has been doing commentary and managing wrestlers for the company's developmental promotion, Florida Championship Wrestling.
For the time being, Saxton and Josh Mathews will handle ECW broadcasts while Todd Grisham and Matt Striker will handle Friday Night SmackDown. The company had no choice but to make changes as a result of Jim Ross taking time off to deal with his most recent Bells Palsy attack.
Dean sent in the following notes tonight from the HSBC arena in Buffalo, NY:
DX, John Cena, and Kofi Kingston vs. Randy Orton, The Legacy, and The Big Show was the RAW dark match. Good match. Everyone left the ring leaving Orton w/ DX. Orton tried to shake hands and hugged Triple H. HBK hit the superkick for the win. DX did comedy at the end including a Triple H swine flu joke.
The rumor among wrestlers is that Hulk Hogan wanted Kevin Nash to be booker, but it doesn't appear there is anything to that. In fact, Nash is officially suspended from the next TV taping because of his going off script in the ring at the last taping.
