Out of the WWE releases last week, the top two names that TNA are most interested in is Shelton Benjamin and Mickie James. It's said that they don't have interest in Jimmy Wang Yang because he left there on bad terms year ago after no-showing a pay-per-view to return to WWE but some say that it was so many years ago he may have a chance now. As noted before, TNA also has interest in Charlie Haas.
It should be noted that with both Shelton, Haas and Mickie, they wrestled in WWE using their real names and wouldn't have to change their names or gimmick if they signed with TNA.
Wade Barrett & Chris Jericho def. Heath Slater & Christian Darren Young def. Michael Tarver Skip Sheffield def. Daniel Bryan
HERSHEY, Pa. The intensity of competition increased this week, as one winless NXT Rookie finally earned a much-needed victory, while another called out his own WWE Pro just two weeks before the next Pros Poll reveals the Rookie Rankings.
Skip Sheffield def. Daniel Bryan (PHOTOS | WATCH) Riding the momentum he picked up last week by winning the Rookies Challenge, NXT Rookie Skip Sheffield finally earned his first victory on Tuesdays WWE NXT. The Cornfed Meathead faced fellow NXT Rookie Daniel Bryan when Bryans WWE Pro, The Miz, declared he was unable to compete due to the injuries he suffered from Big Shows knockout punch the night before on Raw. Sheffield countered Bryans impressive offensive efforts and submission holds with a dominating defense, quickly unleashing his Over the Shoulder Boulder Holder finisher on the much-smaller Bryan. Finally, Sheffields WWE Pro, William Regal, gave him an approving glare after the match, while The Miz remained frustrated with his NXT Rookie, Bryan. With the victory, Sheffields record moved to 1-5, while Bryan remained winless and is now 0-9. (WATCH: The WWE Pros discuss Daniel Bryan)
NXT Rookies competed in the Seal the Deal Challenge (PHOTOS | WATCH) This weeks NXT Rookies Challenge tested the competitors salesmanship skills. Each NXT Rookie entered the crowd at the GIANT Center and had 60 seconds each to sell as many WWE programs as possible to the WWE Universe. While some NXT Rookies, such as Wade Barrett, Michael Tarver and Daniel Bryan, refused to compete, the others gave it their all. David A-List Otunga enlisted the help of two young members of the WWE Universe to help him earn $315. For his efforts, Otunga earned the chance to face the WWE Pro of his choice on next weeks show. His pick? None other than his own WWE Pro, R-Truth, who hes had a rocky relationship with lately. (WATCH: R-Truth talks to Otunga)
I think its time the student beats the teacher, Otunga said. Oh its going to happen, you can count on that! (WATCH)
In just two weeks, the second Pros Poll will be revealed, and the NXT Rookie ranked last will be eliminated from the competition! Therefore, the NXT Rookies must not only survive the intensifying pressure, but also thrive on it to become WWEs newest breakout Superstar. The winner will earn a title match against the champion of his choice, live on pay-per-view. (WATCH: The WWE Pros discuss Justin Gabriel)
Darren Young def. Michael Tarver (PHOTOS | WATCH) Darren Youngs hot streak continued with a win over fellow NXT Rookie Michael Tarver this week. The South Beach party boy was shockingly assisted by recent rival and Straight Edge Society member, Luke Gallows, who took out Tarver while the WWE Official was distracted by SESs Serena, allowing Young to get the pin. While they may have helped Young, the SES didnt offer him any high-fives after the match. Youngs record improved to 7-2, arguably making him Tuesday nights most-improved NXT Rookie, while Tarvers record fell to 0-7. (WATCH: The WWE Pros discuss Michael Tarver)
Wade Barrett & Chris Jericho def. Heath Slater & Christian (PHOTOS | WATCH) NXT Rookie Heath Slater had been riding high after his victory over WWE Pro Chris Jericho on last weeks WWE NXT. But on this weeks Raw, the six-time World Champion silenced the one-man rock band with a Codebreaker and a victory over his WWE Pro, Christian. Jerichos momentum continued on WWE NXT as he earned a tag team win for himself and his NXT Rookie, Wade Barrett, by hitting the Codebreaker on Slater for the second night in a row. While Slater will always be able to boast he has a win over Jericho, this week his record moved to 5-3, while Barretts increased to 5-4.

Matt Hardy out of action for a few weeks Posted by Chris Kaufman on 04/28/2010 at 01:14 AM
The following was posted on the official Twitter page of WWE Superstar Matt Hardy:
"Sorry I couldn't wrestle on Raw last night due to my head injury caused by that reckless bastard Drew McIntyre.. Looks like I'm gonna be out of the ring for a couple weeks. I apologize to my fans for that. I just hope I'm cleared & they allow me to get back in a WWE ring soon."
Montel Vontavious Porter returns to SmackDown to keep Friday nights poppin'. The Franchise Playa from the 305 brings his athleticism, swagger and call-it-like-he-sees-it honesty to the blue brand. Whatever direction he decides to take at SmackDown, one thing is guaranteed: MVP will keep things real.
Unified Tag Team Champions David Hart Smith & Tyson Kidd - drafted to Raw
Drafted from: SmackDown
On the night of the 2010 WWE Draft, David Hart Smith & Tyson Kidd rocked Raw by capturing the Unified Tag Team Titles from Big Show & United States Champion The Miz. Now that they make a move to Monday nights, what will the future hold for these fired-up young champions?
Rosa Mendes - drafted to SmackDown
Drafted from: Raw
Zack Ryder is going to be a very unhappy man when he finds out that his gorgeous arm candy, Rosa Mendes, has been drafted to SmackDown. Still, even without The Long Island Loudmouth by her side, the fiery Diva will have no problem making an impact on Friday nights.
Hornswoggle - drafted to SmackDown
Drafted from: Raw
For the third consecutive year, this tiny tussler has factored big-time into the WWE Supplemental Draft. And now he returns home to the Friday night brand from where he started. Hornswoggle may be a pint-sized pugilist, but the WWE Universe knows that his presence is huge wherever he is!
goldust - drafted to raw
Drafted from: SmackDown
The Bizarre One descends upon Raw with his love for gold and mind games that are guaranteed to tarnish any opponent's ring strategy. A veteran Superstar who's no stranger to championship gold, Goldust will test his adversaries' mettle, and leave them down on the canvas holding onto "Shattered Dreams."
Ezekiel Jackson - drafted to Raw
Drafted from: SmackDown
Think about it - 23-inch arms, a 52-inch chest, a 20-inch neck and 30-inch thighs. Is it any wonder why Big Zeke may become one of the Monday night brand's most dominant competitors in 2010? He was the last Superstar to capture the ECW Title, and you can be sure that he'll have his sights set on the WWE Championship before long.
Chris Masters - drafted to SmackDown
Drafted from: Raw
"The Masterpiece" has the tools to draw himself prominently into the landscape of Friday Night SmackDown. A sculptured portrait of pure power, he's also more than capable of slapping on a Master Lock that will secure his rise to the top.
Natalya - drafted to Raw
Drafted from: SmackDown
One night after the Hart Dynasty Diva celebrated as David Hart Smith & Tyson Kidd captured the Unified Tag Team Titles, she was drafted over to Raw. Still, any member of the Hart lineage is a force to be reckoned with, and Natalya is certainly no exception.
Cody Rhodes - drafted to SmackDown
Drafted from: Raw
Cody Rhodes brings the experience he gained under Randy Ortons tutelage to Friday nights. After being punted in the head by The Viper at WrestleMania, the son of WWE Hall of Famer Dusty Rhodes will no doubt look to regroup and follow in his fathers footsteps, thus creating his own legacy at the top of SmackDown.
Chavo Guerrero - drafted to SmackDown
Drafted from: Raw
The self-proclaimed Mexican Warrior returns to Friday nights. Whether or not he's accompanied by the seemingly perennial chip on his shoulder is another question altogether. Regardless, Chavo is a top competitor who's guaranteed to stir up trouble no matter which WWE brand he's part of.
The Great Khali & Ranjin singh - drafted to Raw
Drafted from: SmackDown
The Great Khali says that he and his brother Ranjin Singh are happy to make the switch to Monday nights. At 7-foot-3 and more than 420 pounds, The Punjabi Playboy is a former World Champion who will no doubt leave a sizeable impression on Raw when he makes his return to WWE.
TNA is interested in signing Shelton Benjamin, especially since Charlie Haas was recently released from WWE also. Believe it or not, there was talk over the weekend of re-forming Team Angle with Kurt Angle, Shelton and Haas, something that was done in WWE almost a decade ago.
TNA iMPACT! Results - April 26, 2010 Posted by Andy Steven on 04/26/2010 at 08:45 PM
TNA Impact Results April 26, 2010
TNA Impact Opener: [Q1] Footage aired of RVD defeating Jeff Hardy and then A.J. Styles to win the TNA World Heavyweight Championship to the sound of Hulk Hogan's voice letting everyone know just how important it is to be a World Champion. Tonight's show is entitled "Mr. Monday Night." ...
The opening video aired and fireworks lit up the Impact Zone. Hulk Hogan's music hit and he made his way out to the ring. Hogan said he has been on a high since Lockdown and Impact last week. Things were really changing and being the TNA Heavyweight Champion means more than even he could ever imagine.
Hogan said RVD had a big target on his back right now. He reminded us of Eric Bischoff's top ten ranking system. He said the fans would have a huge influence on the rankings. He called Jeff Hardy one of the greatest wrestlers of all time and got by him. He then called Styles "one of the greatest of our time." Okay, that meant a little less after what he said about Hardy.
He introduced the new TNA Heavyweight Champion, Rob Van Dam. RVD came out with the belt around his waist and to a hot crowd chanting his name. Hogan and RVD slapped hands and fist bumped in the ring. "Thanks Hulky." ...
RVD said he wanted to be called "Mr. TNA." He kept calling Hogan "Hulky." He said he came to TNA because from the top on down, he was allowed to be himself. "Nobody understands our connection, and nobody understands my connection with Mother Earth's finest." He said he was the best in the world at what he does...
A.J. Styles and Ric Flair came out to the ring. Hogan said nobody invited "you two ex champions out here." Styles asked RVD, "Did you really say you were going to be the best TNA Champion ever? Are you high right now? You must be high?" Funny. Styles said he was stuck in a "BS tag match" instead of a rematch tonight...
Styles said he would have his rematch when he wanted it and where he wanted it. The crowd was hot for Styles. Flair took over the mic and told RVD "being World Champion is pretty cool." He said he had a personal problem with Hogan.
[Q2] Flair said he was going to "end Abyss" tonight and end the "mockery" that was Hogan giving Abyss his Hall of Fame ring. Flair said he specialized in big guys and was going to teach Abyss a lesson tonight. His music hit and they took off...
The Beautiful People were all glittery backstage. Madison Rayne complained to her girls about her first title defense being tonight against two former champions. Lacey Von Erich kept saying something stupid and Velvet Sky kept correcting her. Madison said she would cleanse TNA of "two ugly people at a time" tonight... [C]
Footage was shown of that horrible lockbox segment that allowed Angelina Love to win the TNA Knockouts Championship. Footage was shown of Madison Rayne winning the title and Tara attacking Angelina after the match...
1. Madison Rayne (with Velvet Sky and Lacey Von Erich) vs. Angelina Love vs. Tara (with Poison) for the TNA Knockouts Championship. Mike Tenay and Taz both climaxed during the entrance of TBP. Referee Slick Johnson sent Velvet and Lacey to the back.
Angelina was knocked to the mat and Madison kicked Tara to the floor... [C]
[Q3] Angelina nearly pinned Madison coming back from the break as Tara tried to recover on the floor. Tara threw Angelina into the post and to the floor. Tara and Madison took each other out with dual bulldogs. Angelina jumped back into the ring.
Love hit a jawbreaker on Tara and a bicycle kick on Madison. Tara rose quickly and floored Angelina. Madison whipped Angelina into Tara and applied a school girl on Love for the win...
After the match, Tara and Angelina brawled in the ring as Madison got the hell out of there. Tara said she was sorry to Angelina, but then attacked her from behind...
The announcers hyped tonight's two big matches... [C]
2. Kazarian defeated Shannon Moore to retain the X Division Championship in 4:19. Tenay mentioned Moore turning down Matt Morgan's offer to be his tag team partner last week, pretty much giving away the finish.
Kaz is still without his belt and they mentioned Douglas Williams' travel issues. Taz said TNA was wrong to strip him of the title. Tenay kissed TNA Management ass saying it was the right call.
An early match exchange prompted the crowd to cheer both men. The screen crawl said Daffney was recovering from a stinger and bruised stinger at home. Kaz scored a two count with a spinning neckbreaker. The referee was knocked out inadvertently.
Moore went to the top and Kaz kicked him before meeting him at the rope. He attempted a hurricarana and Moore held on. Morgan came out and pushed Moore off the top rope. He put Moore back into the ring. Kaz hit the reverse piledriver for the win...
[Q4] Samoa Joe's music hit and he came out. He viciously attacked Kazarian as his music continued to play, New Jack style. He hit the muscle buster on Kazarian... [C]
Abyss cut a promo about Hulk Hogan giving up his Hall of Fame ring. Abyss revealed the ring actually did not possess magical powers and it just represented the confidence he now has because of the confidence Hogan has in him. He said he might lose the ring, but he won't lose what the ring means...
Backstage, Morgan tried to get Jesse Neal to be his tag team partner. He brought up the promise Neal made to his military buddy when he said he would be a world champion. He instructed Neal to think with his heart and remember his promise...
A.J. Styles cut a short promo backstage about tonight's match... [C]
Styles made his entrance sans Flair. Tenay finally mentioned the history between Styles and Sting. Finally. Showing a nice touch, Styles ordered the referee to hold the ropes open for him. Sting made his entrance, followed by Jarrett and then Hardy...
[Q5] 3. A.J. Styles and Sting defeated Jeff Hardy and Jeff Jarrett in a Falls Count Anywhere match in 6:15. All four men fought as the bell rang. The accidentally almost ran into each other during a double Irish whip. Sting wrestled in a shirt.
Sting and Jarrett fought into the crowd. Hardy almost pinned Styles after a suplex on the ramp. This is a no DQ match. All four men found their way back to the ring. Styles and Jarrett began in ring action. Sting chose the near left corner for his team, which looks weird on TV.
Hardy and Styles made tags, sort of. The referee tried to keep Hardy out of the ring but didn't care when he pushed him away. Sting took off and left Styles by himself. Styles and Hardy brawled to the ramp again as Jarrett wondered where Sting went.
Jarrett found Sting and they fought up the stairs to the rafters. Hardy set up Styles on a table as Sting beat the crap out of Jarrett with a baseball bat. Hardy set up and climbed a ladder but before he flew off, Sting pinned Jarrett...
Backstage, Jesse Neal asked Team 3D for their blessing to team with Morgan tonight. He said he respected them and would become a tag team champion by helping defeat them. Ray and Devon laughed, but said Neal had a big set of balls and that is how they taught him. They gave him their permission to take the match...
D'Angelo Dinero was shown coming into the Impact Zone... [C]
The Pope made his entrance and had his right arm in a sling. He also had a patch over his eye. The crowd gave him a very nice reception and he soaked it up before entering the ring.
[Q6] Pope asked why Styles would try to end his career and take food off of his table. He said he had no excuses for losing, but he said it was a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye. Pope said he fell, but will get back up. He got the crowd to repeat the phrase. The lights went out...
Mr. Anderson's music hit and he came out to the ring engaged in a mocking applause. He waited for his microphone and said he was now going to refer to Pope as "the Kool-Aid Man." He said he understood and said the crowd was gullible. He called the crowd a bunch of names.
He asked if Pope had a booboo. He said Kurt Angle was home licking his wounds and nursing his injuries. He asked if Pope was going home. Pope interrupted and told Anderson to make a point or shut up. Anderson challenged Pope to a match at Sacrifice. He made chicken noises as the crowd chanted for Dinero.
Pope said his arm may be in a sling, but the pimp hand was still strong. He hit Anderson with a backhand slap. I'm guessing that was a yes to the challenge. Anderson beat down Pope and put his thumb in Pope's eye before being ran off by security guards... [C]
Team 3D's music played but they did not come out right away. The camera met up with them backstage and they were standing next to a broken table with Syxx Pac knocked out and bleeding. They told him to go home after he got out of his coma...
4. Matt Morgan and Jesse Neal defeated Team 3D by disqualification to retain the TNA World Tag Team Championships in 1:05. Morgan brought both belts to the ring again. The crowd did a "yay-boo" chant for Neal and Morgan, respectively. Neal opened the match and 3D dominated him.
The Wolfpac music hit. Scott Hall and Kevin Nash came out and were met on the ramp by Team 3D. Neal helped out Team 3D, but Morgan attacked him and brought him back to the ring. He chokeslammed Neal and mocked him with both belts... [C]
[Q7] After the match, Team 3D tried to console Jesse Neal. He screamed at Morgan to come back to the ring so he could kick his ass. Backstage, Christy Hemme approached Morgan and asked what he was going to do. Morgan said he was off the clock and started to leave, but was stopped by Hogan.
Hogan told Morgan to deal with Neal or deal with him. Morgan backed off and went out to the ramp. Neal knocked him down and chased him with one of the belts. Morgan dropped to his knees and outsmarted Neal. He knocked him out with the belt.
Shannon Moore's music hit and he came out to aide Neal. He hit a missile dropkick on Morgan and both men shook hands. Tenay and Taz sent it back to Eric Bischoff...
Backstage, Bischoff said the fans could go to the website and vote for who they think should be wrestling for the TNA Championship. That was the ranking system announcement. Black Machismo came in and said he was voting for Andre the Giant. He mentioned a few other guys and the Hart Foundation too... [C]
Orlando Jordan cut a promo wearing nothing but rainbow tissue paper. He put over Rob Terry and said he would debut his new show, "The O-Zone" next week with Terry as his guest...
Ric Flair cut a "behind the scenes" style promo and absolutely nailed it. He talked (not yelled or screamed) about how Abyss wearing Hogan's ring is a disgrace and how it offends him because he worked for it for 38 years. He said he was the best of all time and that was the bottom line, and he was saying that before Steve Austin... [C]
[Q8] Bubba the Love Sponge asked Hall and Nash what was next. Nash blew a gasket and said they were going to check on their friend. Bubba said they were a man down. Hall tried to be the voice of reason and said their beef was with Team 3D. Nash continued to yell and said they would bring somebody to even up the sides...
An Abyss vs. Ric Flair video package aired. Flair made his entrance and Abyss came out next...
5. Abyss defeated Ric Flair for Flair's and Hulk Hogan's WWE Hall of Fame rings in 5:12. They fought to the floor and the referee let them go. Abyss opened Flair up and slammed him from the top rope into the ring. He hit the big boot and a side slam.
Flair took a corner splash and hit a couple of air jabs before falling on his face. Flair hit a low blow and the referee went down. Flair put on brass knuckles and hit Abyss. Abyss no sold it but Flair hit a second shot into Abyss' nuts. Flair pinned Abyss...
After the match, referee Earl Hebner saw the brass knuckles on the floor and after a shoving match with Flair, he restarted the match. Abyss Hulked up and hit the Blackhole Slam for the win...
Hogan came out to the ring and pulled Flair's ring off of his finger. He got on the mic and said, "I know exactly who I am going to present this ring to next week." Tenay and Taz wondered who that would be. Abyss and Hogan each posed with a ring as the show went off the air...
defeating Michelle McCool at tonight's Extreme Rules PPV. This is Beth's third reign.
- 12,278 was the announced attendance at tonight's PPV at the 1st Mariner Arena in Baltimore, Maryland.
- It is believed that Joey Mercury was the one who made his WWE storyline return tonight at the Extreme Rules PPV during the CM Punk vs. Rey Mysterio match after Serena and Luke Gallows were ejected from ringside. Mercury, sporting a Straight Edge Society hoodie, came from under the ring and slid CM Punk a chair then dropped Mysterio on his face from the apron to the floor, allowing CM Punk to get the win. Mercury went back under the ring. It's been rumored for weeks that Mercury would be part of CM Punk's group.
- Triple H leaving on a stretcher tonight is believed to be his exit from the WWE storylines for a little while. Triple H is expected to take time off to heal some injuries and film a new WWE movie, Killing Karma.
According to Dave Meltzer, there are conflicting stories going around regarding when happened between Mark Henry and a fan in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
Some in WWE are saying that the original story is inaccurate and it was the fan that started the incident and was kicked out the bar, not Henry.
There are others saying that Henry was in fact arrested, but Chavo Guerrero was actually trying to settle things down rather than stir Henry up.
One person brought up the idea that the same fan was trying to get multiple autographs, perhaps with the intentions of selling them on a website such as eBay. The general feeling is that most wrestlers are fine with signing autographs on a personal level, but if it comes off like the fan is planning to profit from the autographs, then it becomes a different situation.
Guerrero, via Twitter, complained about "dirt sheets" reporting a false story even though the source of the incident was a newspaper in Ireland.
Hart Dynasty def. Unified Tag Team Champions Big Show & The Miz Michelle McCool & Layla def. Divas Champion Eve & Maryse CM Punk def. Evan Bourne Ted DiBiase won a 10-Man Dual-Branded Battle Royal Chris Jericho def. Christian World Heavyweight Champion Jack Swagger def. John Morrison Hornswoggle def. Dolph Ziggler by Count-out Batista def. Sheamus & Randy Orton in a No. 1 Contender's Triple Threat Match
RICHMOND, Va. While the outcome of Extreme Rules rattled the WWE Universe just 24 hours prior, the following nights 2010 WWE Draft on a special three-hour Monday Night Raw shook many of the Superstars themselves to their very core. The quake resulted when both the Raw and SmackDown rosters competed in inter-promotional matches to determine which brand would earn a Draft pick. (WATCH)
Further aftershocks will also be felt live on Tuesday, exclusively on WWE.com, as we gear up for the 2010 Supplemental Draft. Be sure to check back for all the latest seismic shifts.
Batista def. Sheamus and Randy Orton in a No. 1 Contender's Triple Threat Match (PHOTOS | WATCH) Enraged? Disappointed? Embarrassed? After having his feet duct taped together by WWE Champion John Cena and losing at Extreme Rules, chances are high that Batista was feeling all three. That may explain his motivation for interrupting prior to the match between Sheamus and Randy Orton to become No. 1 contender for the WWE Title.
The Animal growled that he deserved to be part of a No. 1 contenders bout. While The Celtic Warrior and The Viper threw up roadblocks, John Cena settled things, calling for a Triple Threat Match.
With all the treachery, cunning and chilling power ricocheting around the squared circle, Batista managed to redeem himself somewhat by defeating his two opponents, but only after Edge slid into the ring and dropped The Viper with a surprise Spear, which allowed the exhausted Animal to lay an arm across Orton's chest for the three-count.
Hornswoggle def. Dolph Ziggler by Count-out; Chris Jericho drafted to Raw (PHOTOS | WATCH) It must have seemed almost too easy for Dolph Ziggler, insulting even. His platinum blondness was chosen to go face to kneecap against Hornswoggle for the final Draft pick. Alas, the wee, wily leprechaun outsmarted Mr. Ziggles when he kept him outside of the ring for a count-out victory. As Hornswoggle danced a little jig, an irate Ziggler locked the sleeper hold on Swoggle and sent him off to dreamland while Raw collected their bounty in the form of Chris Jericho.
Wayne Brady to act as special guest host of Raw next week Next week, which Superstar will get whats behind Door No. 3 and which Superstar will get a Raw Deal? The WWE Universe will find out when the funnyman and host of the daytime game show Lets Make a Deal, Wayne Brady, drops by to take charge as special guest host of Raw.
World Heavyweight Champion Jack Swagger def. John Morrison; Christian drafted to SmackDown (PHOTOS | WATCH) Fresh off a tremendous victory at Extreme Rules, World Heavyweight Champion Jack Swagger was chosen to face off against John Morrison to determine which brand would clinch the next Draft pick. For the second time in a 24-hour period, The All-American American seized triumph from his opponent. While Swagger celebrated, SmackDown claimed a charismatic pick: Christian.
Chris Jericho def. Christian; Kofi Kingston drafted to SmackDown (PHOTOS | WATCH) Even when Chris Jericho suffers a loss, like he did to Edge the night before at Extreme Rules, his ego wont let his mouth admit it. After dismissing his Steel Cage defeat, the self-important Superstar fought Raws Christian for the next Draft pick. When Jericho managed the win, a visibly irate Kofi Kingston was snatched up by the blue brand and promptly charged to the ring and leveled Mr. Vocabulary.
Ted DiBiase won a 10-Man Dual-Branded Battle Royal; John Morrison, R-Truth and Edge drafted to Raw (PHOTOS | WATCH) Fighting not just for their respective brands but perhaps for themselves, SmackDowns Rey Mysterio, Kane, R-Truth, Shad & Drew McIntyre faced off against Raws MVP, Mark Henry, Ted DiBiase, Yoshi Tatsu & Santino Marella in a 10-Man Dual-Branded Battle Royal for the right to three Draft picks. When the sweat had finally settled, it was Raws DiBiase who managed to earn the pin for his team.
As a result, Raw picked off three of SmackDowns finest: John Morrison, R-Truth and Edge.
WWE Champion John Cena arranged Sheamus vs. Randy Orton for the No. 1 contender spot (PHOTOS) After handing Triple H one of the worst beatings of his storied career at Extreme Rules, Sheamus insisted that he be the No. 1 contender for the WWE Championship. Only one problem so did five-time former WWE Champion Randy Orton. Amidst their bickering, current titleholder John Cena intervened. The Champ arranged a match between The Celtic Warrior and The Viper with the winner earning an opportunity at the title.
CM Punk def. Evan Bourne; Big Show drafted to SmackDown (PHOTOS | WATCH) CM Punk, still clinging to his greasy locks, had narrowly escaped the follicular homicide at Extreme Rules with an underhanded assist when Serena, Luke Gallows and a masked mystery man helped him defeat Rey Mysterio. During Raw, the holier-than-thou leader employed his followers again, including the mystery man, in his fervent attempt to down Evan Air Bourne and give SmackDown another pick in the Draft. For their second pick in the Draft, the blue brand selected Big Show.
Michelle McCool & Layla def. Divas Champion Eve & Maryse; Kelly Kelly drafted to SmackDown (PHOTOS | WATCH) With both the Raw and SmackDown rosters being represented, the first Draft match of the evening fell to Divas Champion Eve & Maryse representing Raw against Michelle McCool & Layla of SmackDown with the winning brand receiving a Draft pick.
Unfortunately for the red brand, Maryse let her ego get the best of her. After relinquishing her Divas Title to Eve a couple of weeks before, the conceited Canadian seemed more interested in fighting with her tag partner, allowing Lay-Cool the opportunity for victory. For their first Draft pick of the evening, SmackDown acquired Kelly Kelly.
Hart Dynasty def. Unified Tag Team Champions Show-Miz (PHOTOS | WATCH) It must have been a bittersweet night for Big Show & The Miz. While Bret Hart made good on his agreement with the Unified Tag Team Champions and proclaimed that they were the greatest tag team of all time, the time also came for them to prove it.
After defeating Show-Miz the night before at Extreme Rules to earn a title opportunity, The Hart Dynasty squared off against The Mountain & The Mouth. With Natalya and The Hit Man looking on, Tyson Kidd & David Hart Smith toppled the duo to capture the Unified Tag Team Titles.
Mark Henry arrested following incident with fan Posted by Chris Kaufman on 04/24/2010 at 12:24 PM
WWE superstar Mark Henry was arrested and issued an "adult caution" following an incident that occurred last weekend at The Hilton in Belfast, Ireland.
"I was trying to get as many signatures as possible on the card and my collectors book," WWE fan James McClay told the Derry Journal. "Mark Henry was abusive and ignorant but I got his signature and walked away. Suddenly he threw a drink around me from behind.
"I turned around to see him stand and square up to me, suddenly John Cena and Randy Orton grabbed his arms and held him back. I honestly thought I was in one of the plot lines back stage. I felt like I was watching this happen to someone else. Suddenly Chavo Guerrero piped up egging Mark Henry on, that really annoyed me as I am a fan of his. I thought this is going to get really bad as all these wrestlers were on their feet."
According to McClay, Henry was offering to fight: "He kept saying 'Where I'm from you do something when someone throws a drink around you.' "He kept calling me a 'little punk bitch.'"
