WWE Champion Sheamus def. Evan Bourne Mark Henry def. Jack Swagger in an "All-American American" Challenge John Cena & Kofi Kingston def. The Legacy Eve & Gail Kim def. Maryse & Alicia Fox Randy Orton def. Chris Masters Unified Tag Team Champions DX & Hornswoggle def. United States Champion The Miz, Big Show & Jon Heder
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - In the new comedy When In Rome, starring Raws special guest co-hosts Jon Heder and Don Johnson, a woman finds herself engulfed by an over abundance of affection from her suitors. Unlike the premise of their movie, though, Heder and Johnson found themselves surrounded by anything but love as Raw Superstars turned on one another in the lead up to the Royal Rumble.
Unified Tag Team Champions DX & Hornswoggle def. United States Champion The Miz, Big Show & Jon Heder (PHOTOS | WATCH) Jon Heder has demonstrated his unique ability as an actor. As a wrestler, not so much. The When in Rome star teamed with the newly formed squad of United States Champion The Miz & Big Show to take on Unified Tag Team Champions DX & Hornswoggle.
While Miz & Show assured Heder hed be just fine in their hands, when The Worlds Largest Athlete ended up outside the ring in pain, the actor was forced to enter the ring, where he suffered a humiliating loss and had to have his co-star, Don Johnson, escort him out.
Before the celebration kicked off, though, John Cena grabbed a mic and informed the match participants that it will be he who proves to be the last man standing at Royal Rumble. As to be expected, Big Show, Triple H and Shawn Michaels each took exception. So much so, in fact, that DX proceeded to toss Show and Cena over the top rope and outside the ring. And then, in a shocking show of independence, The Game heaved his own partner HBK over the top rope, telling him that the WWE Championship and WrestleMania are the two things he lives for. And that he, too, will compete in the 2010 Royal Rumble Match.
Psych stars James Roday and Dule Hill act as special guest hosts next week Fellow USA Network stars James Roday and Dule Hill, from the hit series Psych, will put their special powers on display next week when the pair drops by Raw as special guest hosts.
Randy Orton def. Chris Masters (PHOTOS | WATCH) Turn about is fair play. And since Randy Orton looked on as WWE Champion Sheamus battled Evan Bourne earlier in the night, it seemed only fitting for The Celtic Warrior to look on as The Viper clashed with Chris Masters. The No. 1 contender for the Irishmans title managed to best Masters size and strength for the win. Thats when he realized how determined his Royal Rumble opponent can be.
Sheamus climbed into the ring and nailed The Vipers face with his massive boot, leaving Orton motionless on the canvas.
Gail Kim & Eve def. Alicia Fox & Maryse (PHOTOS | WATCH) And then there were four. In the Divas Championship Tournament, the matchups include Eve versus Maryse and Gail Kim versus Alicia Fox. This week, however, the WWE Universe got to witness Gail Kim & Eve take on Alicia Fox & Maryse. As their tag partners looked on intently, Eve overcame the leggy onslaught of Alicia with a submission move to gain a bit of momentum heading into the tournament semi-finals.
John Cena & Kofi Kingston def. The Legacy (PHOTOS | WATCH) Revenge seems almost too good for Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase. During last weeks Triple Threat Match to determine the No. 1 contender to the WWE Title, The Legacy duo stuck their noses in the match, causing their ringleader Randy Orton to prevail over John Cena and Kofi Kingston. This week, it was payback time.
Cena paired with Kofi against Rhodes & DiBiase, and the two seemed to relish taking out their frustrations on the underhanded henchmen. While The Legacy are certainly a force to contend with in the ring, a miscue between the multi-generation Superstars allowed Cena & Kofi to capitalize and earn the W.
Guest co-host Jon Heder arranged Unified Tag Team Champions DX vs. United States Champion The Miz & Big Show (PHOTOS | WATCH) Like his most infamous character, Napoleon Dynamite, actor Jon Heder probably got picked on growing up. After all, what type of damaged personality would willingly choose to pair up United States Champion The Miz with Big Show? While the actor and his co-host, Don Johnson, addressed the Knoxville faithful, Heder even arranged a main event match: Miz & Big Show vs. Unified Tag Team Champions DX.
Later in the evening, after a rather abrupt negotiation, compliments of Hornswoggle and Triple H, Miz & Show agreed to make the bout a Six-Man Tag Team Match featuring DX & Hornswoggle against Miz, Show & Jon Heder!
Mark Henry def. Jack Swagger in an All-American American Challenge (PHOTOS | WATCH) Things are getting a tad embarrassing for Jack Swagger. For the second week running, the former collegiate All-Star wrestler issued an All-American American Challenge, in which the winner is the Superstar who tosses his opponent over the top rope. After losing the challenge to Santino Marella last Monday, Swagger had his hands full against Santinos substitute, Mark Henry. The Worlds Strongest Man successfully heaved Swagger over the top rope and into a state of uncontrollable frustration.
WWE Champion Sheamus def. Evan Bourne (PHOTOS | WATCH) WWE Champion Sheamus continues to punctuate his matches with exclamation points of pain. This week, The Celtic Warrior once again faced Evan Bourne, who wanted a rematch after losing to Sheamus two weeks ago.
The match took on an ominous undercurrent as Randy Orton, who will challenge Sheamus in a title match at Royal Rumble, observed from outside the ring. Unfortunately for Bourne, the Irishman seemed intent on sending a message as he destroyed his opponent for the victory and cast an intensely defiant glare at The Viper.
World Heavyweight Champion The Undertaker confronted Mr. McMahon and Shawn Michaels (PHOTOS | WATCH) Watching Bret Harts return to WWE after a 12-year absence, many of those watching shared the Hit Mans sense of relief and forgiveness. Then, after Mr. McMahon appeared to make amends with his longtime nemesis, it was difficult not to also feel the sting of betrayal when The Chairman kicked Hart and left him writhing on the canvas.
Mr. McMahon did not apologize for his actions. On the contrary, he dug his heels in even farther. After stating last week that Hart would never again be seen in WWE, The Chairman insisted that Hart deserved such rough treatment.
One man who felt Harts pain acutely emerged to not only confront Mr. McMahon for his questionable actions, but also to meet head-on with a longtime nemesis of his own. World Heavyweight Champion The Undertaker appeared on Raw and bluntly put The Chairman in his place, even calling his actions cowardly. As Mr. McMahon slipped out of the ring, The Deadman went on to address Shawn Michaels question: Will Undertaker battle HBK again in a rematch of their legendary WrestleMania bout?
The answer, sadly for WWE Universe members, was an emphatic no. The Phenom may have denied HBK, but Michaels realized that his ticket could be stamped were he to win the Royal Rumble, in which case he could choose the World Championship for which he would like to compete.
WWE tries out new character at RAW taping Posted by Chris Kaufman on 01/19/2010 at 01:22 PM
Thanks to PWPix.net for the following:
After numerous years in WWE's developmental system, Ryan Reeves participated in his first dark match before last night's Raw telecast. Going under the name Skip Sheffield, he defeated Chavo Guerrero. Reeves, who has undertaken a cowboy persona, cut a promo before his match about being from the South. He got the crowd to chant "yip yip yip" with him, which is something he does at Florida Championship Wrestling live events.
After being one of the eight finalists on WWE's fourth installment of Tough Enough, Reeves was signed to a developmental contract. He spent time in Ohio Valley Wrestling and Deep South Wrestling from 2005 to 2007 before being released in January of the latter year. Reeves later returned to OVW and managed to score a second developmental contract with WWE following a September 2008 tryout.
He initially debuted in FCW with a Terminator-esque character he developed called Ryback, but adopted the Skip Sheffield persona this past fall.
These rumors seem to come up every year, but a lot of people within WWE are still wondering if The Undertakers last match will be at Wrestlemania 26 this year. Taker is said to be in real bad shape right now and a lot of people are privately wondering how long he will last.

It was recently reported that John Cena is suffering from back problems, but he is also having issues with his neck, both of which stem from his surgery a few years back. With Cena being one of the guys who legitimately travels on the road about 300 days a year, it definitely lessens the time has to recover from any ring injuries.

HOGAN: I tell you what, after what happened, if you had clocked her youd have got away with it. What nobody knows, and this is the real truth, that there were certain people there she should get off the property, she should be fired immediately, thats it. It was so violent. You could have actually lost an eye, you could have had your teeth knocked out. But, to give you your creedo, you are the one who said not to fire her.

Update on Scott Hall not wrestling at Genesis Posted by Mark Virginia on 01/18/2010 at 01:54 AM

There are rumors that Scott Hall claimed he had a groin injury which is why he didn't wrestle at tonight's Genesis PPV with Kevin Nash. The story goes that Hall actually put on his trunks for the first time in a while and did not want to wrestle because he was worried about how he looked. Hall apparently begged to be taken off the card which is why Waltman tagged with Nash.
It was said that Waltman didn't want to wrestle either but obviously ended up doing so. Eric Young was set to be Nash's partner if things with Waltman didn't go through.
According to Bryan Alvarez, TNA made the decision to not use Hall for quite some time before the PPV.
More on the six-sided ring being replaced Posted by Mark Virginia on 01/17/2010 at 08:24 PM
TNA has revamped the Impact Zone for tonight's Genesis PPV as a traditional four-sided ring has been placed alongside a ramp set up all the way from the stage to the ring, similar to how WCW and ECW formerly presented themselves on some PPV events.
Furthermore, there are reports of some fans chanting "We want six sides" live in the building.
Reaction among wrestlers to the company's decision to replace the six-sided ring with a traditional ring is said to be mixed. None of the workers were informed of the change before they arrived to the building for tonight's show, so there was much shock upon arrival.
The decision to get rid of TNA's former trademark was made by both Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff.

Here is her message in its entirety:
A BIG Thank You to my Fans!
I just want to take this time to write a big huge THANK YOU to each and every one of my fans. From day one you guys have been so supportive of me and you really showed how much you care during my difficult time at the end of last year.
Not one day went by, not ONE, since I was released where I didnt get a personal message, a comment, an email or something from you fans. Everyday you told me you missed me and you supported me and you couldnt wait to see me back on TV.
That really helped brighten my days when I didnt really know what was going to be happening in my life! None of you HAD to do anything or say anything, but you did and it really meant a lot to me. My manager, Michael Klyzub, worked his butt off to make sure everything would turn out for the best and it sure did
I am officially back on the TNA roster and couldnt be happier about it. I guess I'm starting a new chapter in my career & in my life and I am so excited about it! I'm gonna give it my all as I always do and I hope everyone loves it as much as I know I will. Thank you for being so happy and supportive of my return and thank you for all the youtube videos you made about it! They are all awesome!
2010 has started off amazing and I cant wait to see what will come in the days ahead.

(Photos | Watch) (Full Monday Night Raw coverage)
In the highly anticipated main event, Batista looked to be on his way to overcoming his former comrade-in-arms. But as he attempted to drop the Batista Bomb, Mysterio turned the tables, using his adversarys height and a stunning kick to his opponent to climb the steel cage to ultimate triumph. When The Animal rushed to the door to try and reach the ground first, the masked Superstar slammed it in his face, putting an exclamation point on his towering victory.
Mysterios success wins him the right the face The Deadman for the World Title in just more than two weeks at the Royal Rumble. (Match preview)
Chris Jericho def. John Morrison (PHOTOS | WATCH) After being knocked out in one punch by the legendary fist of Iron Mike Tyson on Monday Night Raw, Chris Jericho returned to Friday nights with a huge bruise on his face. He vowed to defeat all 29 other Superstars to win the Royal Rumble Match and then go on to WrestleMania XXVI to become a six-time World Champion.
With Intercontinental Champion Drew McIntyre coming down to ringside after the action had already begun, the self-proclaimed best in the world at what he does proved victorious over The Friday Night Delight.

After the bell, MyIntyre added insult to injury, stepping on the fallen Morrisons face.

CM Punk & Luke Gallows went on to triumph over three other tag teams, winning the right to face Unified Tag Team Champions D-Generation X for the titles. Though JTG went for the pin on The Straightedge Superstar, he hadnt noticed that Punks Detoxified Disciple had tagged himself in. Gallows made short work of the unsuspecting Superstar, hitting him with the Gallows Pole for the monumental victory.
Mickie James def. Beth Phoenix by disqualification (PHOTOS | WATCH) The quickly growing animosity between the highly-charged Mickie James and The Glamazon fueled the fire for their explosive battle. But, when Mickie got trapped upside down in the turnbuckle, The Fabulous Firebird refused to back off, drawing the disqualification.
After the bell, Women's Champion Michelle McCool and Layla emerged. Rather than engage them, Beth opted to leave her venerable opponent to the wolves and make her exit. Lay-Cool proceeded to punish Piggie James, an assault that culminated with an earth-shattering Faithbreaker.
Kane def. Dolph Ziggler (PHOTOS | WATCH) Despite Dolph Zigglers success in defeating Kane by count-out one week ago - and their hard-fought Beat the Clock Challenge Match the week before that - the third time was not a charm for the confident Superstar. After numerous attempts to ride the sleeper hold to victory, Ziggler fell at the hands of The Big Red Monsters mighty chokeslam.

WWE still wanted Hardy back despite indictment? Posted by Chris Kaufman on 01/14/2010 at 08:08 PM
Credit: F4WOnline.com
According to Dave Meltzer, WWE officials were calling Jeff Hardy as late as 1/5 and were trying to get him to change his mind about joining TNA. Not only was this the day after Hardy appeared on Impact, but also a day after he was indicted on drug charges.
It's an interesting situation because it shows that WWE is softening their stance on the company's drug policy. It says a lot about both WWE and TNA since there was such strong interest in Hardy despite news of his indictment coming out.
The match may have been changed because word is that John Cena is plagued by back problems with bulging discs. No word yet on the severity of Cenas injury or what may come out of it.
