R-Truth def. William Regal (PHOTOS | WATCH) Is there a more unpleasant Superstar than William Regal? With his arrogant stride and stiff upper lip, the 2008 King of the Ring made it his business to ruin the good time of R-Truth on WWE Superstars. Using the devastating submission maneuvers he learned in the rough gyms of Blackpool, England, Regal was able to slow down the rapping Superstar by targeting his knees. Truth would not be silenced, however, and connected with the Lie Detector from out of nowhere to ruin Master Regals evening. Couldnt have happened to a nicer guy.
Brie Bella def. Jillian (PHOTOS | WATCH) There are a lot of perks to being a twin matching outfits, weird psychic abilities and the opportunity to sneak out in the middle of a match and be replaced by your sister. At least thats what the gorgeous Brie and Nikki Bella were able to do on tonights WWE Superstars. With the official distracted, the sisters pulled the old switcheroo on Jillian as Brie slid out of the ring and Nikki slid in. The fresh Bella then rolled up the tone-deaf Diva for a very creative 1-2-3. It pays to be a twin.
Luke Gallows def. Chris Masters (PHOTOS | WATCH) Accompanied by the anti-Diva Serena, the powerful Luke Gallows marched to the ring with a strong desire to cause harm to the flawless physique of Chris Masters. That was more easily said than done, however, as The Masterpiece used his brute power to control much of the early action in this hard-hitting battle. It looked as though the SmackDown Superstar was close to finding victory, but he was distracted by the dangerous Serena. With Masters sidetracked, CM Punks most loyal disciple was able to deliver the Gallows Pole to his opponent to score a tainted victory.
JTG def. Caylen Croft (PHOTOS | WATCH) On last Thursdays WWE Superstars, Trent Barreta of The Dude Busters took on Intercontinental Champion Kofi Kingston in singles action. This week, it was Barretas partner, Caylen Croft, flying solo against exciting SmackDown Superstar JTG. Unfortunately for Croft, he had about as much luck against JTG as Barreta had against Kingston. Despite repeated outside interference from Barreta, JTG kept his cool and used his speed and skill to bust Croft and pick up the win.

McMahon angry about Bryan spitting on Cena? Posted by Roscoe De Soto on 06/23/2010 at 03:20 PM
Credit: F4WOnline.com
Dave Meltzer is reporting that, besides the tie choking incident, another thing that probably led to Daniel Bryan's release from WWE was when he spit in the face of John Cena. Vince McMahon is said to hate when people spit, as well as smoking cigarettes and sneezing (really). Spitting is something that has been banned in WWE for many years. With that being said, it's not believed that Bryan spit on Cena without getting permission from the office first.
- New WWE ring announcer Ashley Valance made her debut on tonight's NXT. Ashley seemed to have done most of Matt Striker's usual duties at the start of the show. Jamie Keyes is still doing ring introductions on matches.

The Raw superstars got the upper hand. NXT retreated to the back and the Raw locker room posed in the ring. John Cena hugged his father at ringside and left. Randy was the last one left in the ring and posed while John Cena looked on from atop of the ramp to close the show.
- It was announced tonight on RAW that all of the NXT Season 1 Rookies are now official members of the RAW roster after being hired by the new General Manager.
- WWE SmackDown Diva Beth Phoenix said in a WWE Universe chat last night during Fatal 4 Way that she is still about 3 to 5 months away from returning to the ring.
- Several readers sent word that Maryse suffered a wardrobe malfunction that was clearly shown when Alicia Fox pinned her for the win at last night's WWE Fatal 4 Way pay-per-view.
What Happened After Fatal 4 Way Went Off the Air Posted by Steve Carrier on 06/21/2010 at 11:05 AM
After the PPV went off the air, John Cena took the house mic and addressed the crowd. Cena said that it appears there is a very black cloud shadowing over The WWE.
Cena said he will go home angry and upset, not because Sheamus is the champion because titles come and go. He's angry that the company and universe he fights for have been taken over on television and now a PPV. He said they think they can do whatever they want. He said he's still here and so are the fans.
Cena said there are fans here who have strong opinions on his ability to wrestle. He said all the noise is the noise everyone in the company have fought for over the years. He said that no matter what you think of him, he can fight. He promised to take on all seven each week until every single one of them fall.
Cena said he believes in WWE and all the stars who have earned the right to be here and he will not have that taken away. He said he will stay and fight and tomorrow is another day to fight. He said he prays those sons of bitches show up tomorrow, threw down the mic and left.
Several WWE superstars react to Fatal 4 Way PPV Posted by Roscoe De Soto on 06/21/2010 at 12:04 AM
Several WWE stars took to their Twitter after tonight's WWE Fatal 4 Way PPV. Here is what they wrote:
Chris Jericho: "Had the best match I've had in months tonight. Bourne is the real deal...and I must destroy him."
Savannah: "Was great to interview the Unified Tag Team Champs, The Hart Dynasty tonite @ F4W!! :) congrats to @aliciafoxy for becoming Divas champ! :) "
Matt Hardy: "Thanks so much for the love tonight NY! Drew got exactly what he deserved & will continue to until I'm reinstated to SD.."
Bella Twins: "Amazing PPV! But honestly what are these NXT Guy's deals! Hope they get a true beatin' tomorrow night"
Kofi Kingston: "What a PPV! Everyone who was there should check themselves for burns, because that crowd was on FIRE! Boom Squad was def in the building!!!"
Jim Ross: "Crazy, abrupt ending @ Fatal 4 Way. Big nite 4 Evan Bourne. Sheamus & Rey win titles. Alicia Fox w/ surprising title win. Interesting nite."
Zack Ryder: "Beat MVP tonight on Long Island in the Fatal 4 Way bonus match! WWWYKI"
- As noted before, Shad Gaspard has been spending a lot of time in WWE developmental lately. The plan after WrestleMania was for Shad to be pushed as a top heel on SmackDown as officials were high on his size and the fact that he can move well and talk. Shad has been sent to FCW because he wasn't getting over.
- One of the stranger things about Daniel Bryan's WWE release is that Vince McMahon personally fired him via telephone late Friday night of last week, instead of having someone like John Laurinaitis do it. WWE creative and company executives were said to have no idea that any trouble with Danielson was even brewing. Some knew that there was heat from the tie incident on RAW but nobody expected that this would happen.
- Kurt Angles body is still pretty banged up and hes taking a few more weeks off to let his body heal. If hes able to return in time for Victory Road on July 11th, he will wrestle against either Samoa Joe or The Pope as part of his mission to beat all of TNAs Top 10 Contenders.

The NXT Rookies offer their closing arguments (PHOTOS | WATCH) Before the first NXT Poll next week, the NXT Rookies pleaded their cases to the WWE Pros and the WWE Universe, each explaining why he should be WWEs Next Breakout Star. But NXT Rookie Husky Harris said he wouldnt need 45 seconds to plead his case. The third-generation competitor took a page out of the book of his WWE Pro, Cody Rhodes, and shockingly attacked WWE NXT host Matt Striker, a move that garnered congratulations from Rhodes.
WWE Universe, you will help decide who will be WWEs Next Breakout Star. Return to WWE.com next Tuesday at 10 p.m. ET and make your vote count in the NXT Poll!
Cody Rhodes def. Lucky Cannon in a Five-Minute Challenge (PHOTOS | WATCH) While berating Lucky Cannon at the end of last weeks WWE NXT, WWE Pro Cody Rhodes told the NXT Rookie hed be lucky to last five minutes with him. So this week, the WWE Pro put a determined Cannon to the test in a Five-Minute Challenge, meaning he didnt have to defeat Rhodes, but merely last five minutes in the ring with him. But Luckys luck ran out before the five minutes were up, as the former Tag Team Champion dominated the match and defeated him in just 3:58 with a Cross Rhodes as the WWE Pros looked on. (WATCH: Meet Lucky Cannon)
Eli Cottonwood def. Kaval (PHOTOS | WATCH) With a clear size advantage, the 7-footer, Eli Cottonwood, defeated fellow NXT Rookie, Kaval, who stands significantly shorter at just 5 feet 8 inches. The quick and nimble 174-pound Kaval put up a noble fight against the 313-pound Cottonwood, as his WWE Pros, Womens Champion Layla and her bestie, Michelle McCool, looked on. But Cottonwood simply dominated his much smaller opponent. WWE Pro John Morrison congratulated his undefeated protégé, Cottonwood, after the match, while Layla and Michelle presented Kaval with a personalized pink Property of Lay-Cool shirt.

With his WWE Pro, Intercontinental Champion Kofi Kingston, in his corner, the third-generation competitor pinned former footballer ONeil, who also had his WWE Pro, Zack Ryder, at ringside. It was surely another emotional win for McGillicutty, who told the WWE Universe he called his mother whose maiden name was McGillicutty after his first win on WWE NXT last week. McGillicuttys record increased to 2-0, while ONeil remained winless with an 0-2 record. (WATCH: Meet Titus O"Neil)
The Miz & Alex Riley def. MVP & Showtime Percy Watson (PHOTOS | WATCH) Thanks in part to the return of his WWE Pro, The Miz, this week, NXT Rookie Alex Riley continued his hot streak on WWE NXT.

But the United States Champion turned the momentum in his favor and hit a Skull Crushing Finale on Showtime for the win. With his tag team victory, Rileys record moved up to 2-0, while Watsons record fell to 1-1.

Chris Jericho def. Evan Bourne Natalya vs. Tamina ended in a No Contest John Morrison def. Zack Ryder The Great Khali & Eve def. Primo & Divas Champion Alicia Fox John Cena vs. WWE Champion Sheamus ended in a No Contest
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. One night after the seven season one NXT Rookies decimated the WWE landscape at Fatal 4-Way, the pugnacious pack once again tore into the Raw roster to make their presence felt even going so far as to attack The Chairman himself, Mr. McMahon!
John Cena vs. WWE Champion Sheamus ended in a No Contest; Mr. McMahon attacked by NXT Rookies (PHOTOS | WATCH: Part 1 | Part 2) Will the season one NXT Rookies ever relent? Even after landing the contracts they were clearly determined to secure, the brash bunch still appear ravenous. During the nights main event match, pitting WWE Champion Sheamus against John Cena with Mr. McMahon acting as special guest referee, the bold band of Superstars rushed the ring. Despite The Chairmans strong guarantee of retribution for anyone who interferes, the NXT seven ambushed Cena.
And while conspiracy theorists within the WWE Universe had pegged Mr. McMahon as the potential mastermind behind the devious actions of the season one NXT Rookies - seemingly bolstered when he accepted culpability for several of their attacks - those theories were quickly scuttled when the seven trained their fire on The Chairman himself! Mr. McMahon announced that the new GM would offer up a revelation on the next Raw before he received a brutal beating at the hands of the Rookies. Is there nothing this defiant band of outlaws wont do in order to get what they want?
Rob Zombie to act as Raws special guest host next week WWE Universe, let there be rock. Oh, and there will be. Be sure to tune in and turn it up next week when rock monster and horror film director Rob Zombie shakes things up as special guest host.
United States Champion The Miz interrupted Randy Orton; Edge attacked Orton (PHOTOS | WATCH) When Randy Orton addressed the season one NXT Rookies, he vowed revenge on each of them for, as he saw it, costing him the WWE Title at Fatal 4-Way the previous night. As he lambasted the NXT seven, newly minted United States Champion The Miz cut him short.
The self-proclaimed Awesome One berated The Viper and told him to get in line for the WWE Title before leveling a sneak attack. While Orton countered Mizs strike, Edge quickly joined the fray. The Ultimate Opportunist ran in and rammed The Apex Predator with a Spear before whispering to his rival that now, the real fun begins.
The Great Khali & Eve def. Primo & Divas Champion Alicia Fox (PHOTOS | WATCH) One night after capturing the Divas Title at Fatal 4-Way and Alicia Fox already thinks shes royalty. A royal pain perhaps. The new Divas Champion teamed with Primo against The Great Khali & Eve. Thinking shes above it all, Fox simply abandoned her partner in the ring, allowing The Punjabi Playboy to devastate Primo for the win.
John Morrison def. Zack Ryder (PHOTOS | WATCH) There was a slight change of plans for John Morrison. The Shaman of Sexy was scheduled to compete against Ted DiBiase, but The Fortunate Son, with his new assistant Maryse in tow, informed Morrison that he had other plans for the night. Ahem.
Accompanied by his season two NXT Rookie Eli Cottonwood, Morrison would instead compete against Zack Ryder. With Ryders own season two NXT Rookie, Titus ONeil, looking on, The Guru of Greatness channeled his attack and pinned Ryder for the victory.
Natalya vs. Tamina ended in a No Contest; NXT Rookies apologized to the WWE Universe (PHOTOS: Part 1 | Part 2 | WATCH) After dedicating her match against Tamina to her uncle Bret, Natalya was livid when the proceedings were cut short by the season one NXT Rookies. The groups de facto leader, Wade Barrett, began to apologize for their actions, which led to Bret Harts dismissal, when David Hart Smith & Tyson Kidd attacked in a quest for vengeance. The Unified Tag Team Champions put up a valiant fight but were subdued by the six other NXT Rookies.
The NXT Rookies then surprised the WWE Universe by offering apologies for their actions and attempting to explain why theyve been behaving like a pack of rabid hyenas. Several of the Rookies stated that they did what they did not out of anger but out of love of WWE. Describing his group's bond - a "nexus" - Barrett then emphasized that his loyalty propelled him to join his colleagues and that he had also been granted his future pay-per-view title match again by the mystery GM.
Ted DiBiase fired Virgil, hired Maryse (WATCH) Ted DiBiase knows money and looks. After a dismal performance at Fatal 4-Way for he and bodyguard Virgil, The Fortunate Son canned his manservant and opted for an upgrade. After Virgils dismissal, DiBiase introduced Maryse as his new source for protection.
Chris Jericho def. Evan Bourne (PHOTOS | WATCH) Its been a rough month for Chris Jericho. After falling short in his matches for the past several weeks, Jerichos humiliation was punctuated at Fatal 4-Way when he dropped his bout to Evan Bourne.
On Raw, he demanded a rematch. If he lost, Jericho promised he would leave WWE. And while it looked a little touch and go there for a while, the wily Superstar managed to squeak out a victory. After the match, a still steaming Jericho leveled the high-flyer with an underhanded shove.
Mr. McMahon fired Bret Hart, named new GM; WWE Title Match main event announced (PHOTOS | WATCH) Mr. McMahon giveth, Mr. McMahon taketh away. After assuming the Raw General Manager position last month, Bret Hart found himself unceremoniously fired by The Chairman on Raw for not attending the previous nights Fatal 4-Way. Harts absence, Mr. McMahon reasoned, is what allowed the season one NXT Rookies to run wild, interfering in the WWE Championship Match and permitting Sheamus to take advantage of the chaos to prevail. Mr. McMahon then informed the WWE Universe that a new, anonymous GM would take the reins, emailing announcer Michael Cole his dictates.
The mystery GM was quick to act. His first order of business? Hiring all seven NXT Rookies. Then, in the wake of new WWE Champion Sheamuss victory, the Raw GM also allowed John Cena to invoke his rematch clause, meaning that he will face the Irish champion for the title the main event. And to ensure there will be no interference, Mr. McMahon will act as special guest referee!
