Randy Orton def. Jey Uso The Great Khali def. Edge by Count-out The Nexus def. Mark Henry, Evan Bourne, David Hart Smith, Tyson Kidd, Yoshi Tatsu, Jerry Lawler & Goldust Divas Champion Alicia Fox def. Brie Bella Ted DiBiase def. John Morrison WWE Champion Sheamus & United States Champion The Miz def. John Cena & Chris Jericho
SAN ANTONIO, Texas - Its often said that everything is bigger in Texas. Well, if youre John Cena, thats certainly proven true. As he and his seven-man SummerSlam squad move closer to the biggest bash of the season, the troubles, the tribulations and the headaches have all grown as large as the Lonestar State.
WWE Champion Sheamus & United States Champion The Miz def. John Cena & Chris Jericho (PHOTOS | WATCH) At the rate theyre disintegrating, itll be miraculous if Team WWE, led by John Cena, even make it to their 7-on-7 Elimination Tag Team Match at SummerSlam. During a tag bout pitting Cena & Chris Jericho against WWE Champion Sheamus & United States Champion The Miz, Cena and Jerichos partnership descended into squabbling. The self-important Superstar turned on his partner, hobbling Cena with a Codebreaker, allowing The Miz the pin. Mr. Vocabulary then tried to lock in The Walls of Jericho, but Cena reversed the maneuver and squeezed Jericho into an STF.
Not long afterward, the remainder of Team WWE made their way to the ring, including Edge, The Great Khali, R-Truth and John Morrison. When Khali attempted to make peace between Jericho and Cena, Edge leveled him with a Spear. The rest of the squad continued the back-biting and vicious attacks, calling into question whether or not the tenuous team will rise to the challenge of The Nexus or fall into disarray.
Ted DiBiase def. John Morrison (PHOTOS | WATCH) Lets face it, its pretty easy to despise Ted DiBiase. Not only does The Fortunate Son have good looks, heaps of cash and a gorgeous Diva on his arm, he also still manages to squeak out victories. This week, he faced John Morrison, who gave him a run for his plentiful money.
When DiBiases protector Maryse attempted to interfere with the match, Morrisons pal and SummerSlam teammate R-Truth tried to assist. The help backfired, though, and cost The Shaman of Sexy the match. In the wake of the loss, Morrison verbally lashed out at Truth, offering further evidence that Raws seven-man SummerSlam squad may be in danger of unraveling.
Divas Champion Alicia Fox def. Brie Bella (PHOTOS | WATCH) Divas Champion Alicia Fox continues to flutter above the competition. This week, she faced down Brie Bella. During the bout, Alicia managed to foil The Bellas "Twin Magic" maneuver and notch the victory. In the mood to celebrate, Jillian, who had accompanied Alicia to the ring, began to belt out a stomach-turning tune. In no mood to hear it, though, Alicia dropped the tone-deaf Diva to the mat.
The Nexus def. Mark Henry, Evan Bourne, David Hart Smith, Tyson Kidd, Yoshi Tatsu, Jerry Lawler & Goldust in a 7-on-7 Elimination Match (PHOTOS | WATCH) The Nexus looked like they were in seven Heaven. In a possible preview of their 7-on-7 Elimination Match at SummerSlam, the N-labeled squad thoroughly dominated a select group of Raw Superstars in the same match. The seven deadly sinners of Nexus used teamwork like a sledgehammer to crush their opponents, who included native Texan Mark Henry, Evan Bourne, David Hart Smith, Tyson Kidd, Yoshi Tatsu, Jerry The King Lawler & Goldust. After tossing out all seven opponents and having no one from The Nexus ejected, Wade Barrett and Michael Tarver taunted their SummerSlam foes, pointing out that the team assembled by Cena would never get on the same page due to their inflated egos.
The Great Khali def. Edge by Count-out (PHOTOS | WATCH) The fabric of the squad assembled to combat The Nexus continued to fray. After overhearing Edge complain about his inclusion in the group, The Great Khali challenged his potential teammate to a match. During the bout, The Nexus sauntered to the ring, prompting The Ultimate Opportunist to flee the squared circle. While Khali may have won by count-out, his situation looked precarious when The Nexus surrounded him. Rather than pummel The Punjabi Playboy, though, the group allowed him to go free.
Randy Orton def. Jey Uso; The Miz attempted to cash in Money in the Bank contract (PHOTOS | WATCH) For Jey Uso, facing and defeating Randy Orton would have propelled him near the top of the WWE totem pole. The Viper, however, wasnt about to offer up his scalp so easily. Instead, Orton made convincing work of Uso as his brother Jimmy and Tamina looked on. After the victory, Orton dared WWE Champion Sheamus, who was also observing at ringside, to tangle with him.
Before the two could engage, Jimmy attacked Orton. Sensing an opportunity, the Irishman tried to kick his SummerSlam foe, but his errant boot ended up leveling Jimmy instead. At that point, The Viper deftly flattened The Celtic Warrior with an RKO.
The scent of vulnerability lured out United States Champion The Miz, whos been bird-dogging Sheamus ever since capturing the Money in the Bank briefcase. Before Miz could cash in the briefcase, though, Orton slipped into the ring and also dropped Mr. Money in the Bank with an RKO.
Chris Jericho confronted John Cena; Raw GM made several announcements (PHOTOS) Chris Jericho bickering was probably inevitable. Last week, John Cena revealed that he would team up with Jericho, Edge, John Morrison, R-Truth, The Great Khali & WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart to battle The Nexus at SummerSlam. This week, Jericho started in with the whining. The self-important Superstar interrupted Cena and began protesting that he should be appointed head of the assembled squad. Mercifully, Cena halted the rant by knocking the microphone from Mr. Vocabularys hand.
Before tensions could bubble over, however, Raws anonymous General Manager interrupted. Through announcer Michael Cole, the mystery GM put forth three important declarations. First, the SummerSlam battle between Team WWE and The Nexus would now be a 7-on-7 Elimination Match. Secondly, The Nexus would put their unity to the test in the nights main event, in which they face select members of the Raw roster in just such a bout. And lastly, Cena and Jericho would test their cohesion in a tag team match against two Raw Superstars.
Drew McIntyre & Dashing Cody Rhodes def. Matt Hardy & Christian Dolph Ziggler def. Intercontinental Champion Kofi Kingston (Non-Title Match) Big Show def. Joey Mercury Rey Mysterio def. Jack Swagger (No. 1 Contender's 2-out-of-3 Falls Match)
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. In a stunning turn of events, Kane walked out of the Money in the Bank pay-per-view with the World Heavyweight Championship (full coverage). And as his Big Red curtain descended over SmackDown, an injured Rey Mysterio heroically outfought Jack Swagger, capturing the right to face the monstrous champion at SummerSlam.
Rey Mysterio def. Jack Swagger in a No. 1 Contenders Match (PHOTOS | WATCH) Despite the overwhelming pain of his ankle injury, Rey Mysterio took on the ruthless Jack Swagger in a 2-out-of-3 Falls Match to determine who would face new World Heavyweight Champion Kane at SummerSlam.
When Swagger refused to release his ankle lock on The Master of the 619 in the first part of their epic showdown, the official disqualified him, awarding the first fall to the masked Superstar. But, the damage had clearly been done.
Shortly after the second part of the match began, Mysterio attempted the 619. However, The All-American American caught his opponent at the last second and made him tap-out to his second ankle lock of the night.
After Swagger punished Rey in the third part of the match, he attempted to end things with the Gutwrench Powerbomb. Powered by his unrelenting heart, The Ultimate Underdog escaped the maneuver, using his adversarys weight against him to score the third and final pinfall and win an opportunity to face Kane at SummerSlam. (Match preview)
When Swagger tried to punish Mysterio with an excruciating post-match ankle lock, Kane emerged to chokeslam the ruthless aggressor out of action. He then raised Mysterios hand and appeared to make his exit. However, when he suddenly returned to send a volatile message to his new No. 1 contender, Rey Mysterio turned the tables on him, hitting the 619 on the frightening World Champion.
Big Show def. Joey Mercury (PHOTOS | WATCH) The Straight Edge Society wanted revenge on Big Show for ripping CM Punks mask off one week ago. Although the gigantic Superstar was scheduled to face Luke Gallows, CM Punk changed things up at the last minute, ordering that his S.E.S. Mystery Man face Big Show instead. After punishing Punks unidentified disciple, Big Show unmasked him, revealing former Tag Team Champion, Joey Mercury! The Worlds Largest Athlete then finished off his outmatched adversary with the knockout punch.
Dolph Ziggler def. Intercontinental Champion Kofi Kingston in a Non-Title Match (PHOTOS | WATCH) After Kofi Kingston was sent flying out of the ring during his match with Dolph Ziggler, SmackDown Special Consultant Vickie Guerrero ordered his NXT Rookie, Michael McGillicutty, to leave ringside for checking to see if his WWE Pro was all right. Guerreros eventual interference allowed Ziggler to gain the advantage over the Intercontinental Champion, leading to a victorious sleeper hold by the bleach blond Superstar.
Drew McIntyre & Dashing Cody Rhodes def. Matt Hardy & Christian (PHOTOS | WATCH) Battered and bruised, four of SmackDowns Money in the Bank Ladder Match combatants regrouped to lock horns in tag team action. But, when things spun out of control, Matt Hardy accidently connected with his partner, Christian. As Captain Charisma fell out of the ring, the confusion allowed Drew McIntyre to hit a devastating boot to the face on Hardy for the win.
World Heavyweight Champion Kane justified Cashing in the Money in the Bank on Rey Mysterio (PHOTOS | WATCH) Last Sunday, at the innovative new pay-per-view Money in the Bank (full coverage), Kane turned WWE upside-down winning the SmackDown Money in the Bank briefcase and then cashing in his contract on the same night to defeat a war-torn World Champion Rey Mysterio.
Upon returning to Friday night, the new champion informed the WWE Universe that everything he did, he did for his fallen brother, The Undertaker. Vowing that no one would ever take the holy grail from around his waist, Kane reaffirmed his merciless search for The Phenoms Memorial Day attacker.
Showtime Percy Watson def. Zack Ryder Michael McGillicutty def. Eli Cottonwood Husky Harris def. Kaval
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas The second season two NXT Rookie was eliminated when the results of the latest NXT Poll were revealed, causing plenty of contention between the final six competitors on WWE NXT.

Husky Harris def. Kaval (PHOTOS) Hoping to make a last-minute impact, and a move upward in the NXT Poll, a confident Husky Harris defeated fellow NXT Rookie, Kaval. Earlier, Harris had a heated confrontation with Kaval, calling him small fry and referring to his WWE Pros, Lay-Cool, as his girlfriends.

Showtimes record improved to 2-3 with his victory over Long Island Iced Z. (WATCH: The WWE Pros discuss "Showtime" Percy Watson)
The NXT Rookies grabbed the Open Mic (PHOTOS) The final seven NXT Rookies had one minute each to say whatever was on their minds, aside from why they shouldnt be eliminated. Each NXT Rookie sounded off one more time before the WWE Pros cast their votes in the NXT Poll. Who left a lasting impression before tonights elimination?

And here comes Double J. Nash says hes had a week to think about what went down, and something didnt feel right. Jarrett is amazing and really good at what he does, he almost had Nash convinced that it was Stings fault. Hes known Sting for 20 years. Sting used to let him stay with him because Nash was broke and Sting was making big money. Nash isnt sure if it was Stings fault or Jarretts. Nash can deal with it, but theres a group of young guys who look up to Jeff and they are the victims. Jarrett says he has no idea what hes talking about. Hes not buying it, and hes sure these people arent buying. It was Kev that screwed Hulk and Eric when he did what he did to get Hall and Waltman jobs. He used his deceit to screw this company. Jeff knows him though, and these people know him. Nash says hes come to his conclusion, he gets it and can live with it.

-Dixie is on her way to the ring as shell make her announcement after this commercial break.
-And here she comes. She thanks everyone. Shes always said TNA has the best fans in the world. As TNA president, this will be a company about the fans, and her favorite part of her job is meeting everyone personally, thanking everyone and getting to see what they want in TNA. Shes learned a lot through the years, but theres been one common theme, and thats the fans love for extreme, hardcore wrestling. So at this time, welcome five gentlemen who made hardcore an art form, and lets welcome them properly to the Impact Zone.
And here we go. Tommy Dreamer, Rhino, Stevie Richards, Raven and Mick Foley make their way to the ring. Dixie says she wanted them to come here tonight to tell the fans what they mean to the industry. Mick Foley says this is the first time Dixie has delivered a promo. Dixie says this is her being real. What Hulk Hogan meant to the 80′s, these guys meant to ECW in the 90′s. Its really not about being hardcore, its about honor, dedication, respect. Not doing it for paychecks, doing it for the love of the fans. They always gave them what they asked for and more. Dixie has a history with four of them up here. Theyre what have helped TNA thrive till today. Foley says it should be them thanking her. Foley appreciates her giving them the chance to make a last impression. No ones last moment should them having their head hung low. If theres one person who knows something about personal closure, its Tommy Dreamer. Foley hands him the mic. Dreamer says hes watched TNA since the beginning. Hes watched a small company grow. And his friends would tell him to quit his job and come over there. He was scared to though. He saw so many similarities between TNA and ECW. ECW was a place where men unkown became legends. Where legends in the wrestling business came to ECW to reinvent their career. Long before Samoa Joe was dumping people on their heads and choking people out, there was Taz. Ric Flair did for Jay Lethal is what Terry Funk did for him and Mick Foley. Before the Beautiful People was Francine and Beullah. He got to feel TNA at Slammiversary. He got to see a bunch of men and woman do what they do for the people. He thanks Dixie for bringing back the passion. At ECW One Night Stand in 05, he had his closure. But then they brought it back. And he got to witness his friends get fired, destroyed, for what? Until it bothered him so much he had to quit his own job, but he couldnt stomach watching something like that so much. Foley showed him all the similarities, and they put the plan together, and there was only one person that could make it happen, and that was Dixie. This isnt an ECW invasion or them taking over, this is about men and woman who lost their jobs and lives were effected about it. This is about the fans that chant it, for his friends that lived it, that their legacy is not destroyed. For one night, give them one night to show them the world what they had and their legacy can live forever. He begs of her. Do you guys want one night? The crowds going nuts. Dixie says you cant come out here and get emotional like that. She asks the fans if they want to do this. They agree. She has one stipulation. They plan it all. It has to be real and what they want. Nothing that has to do with TNA. Loud Sabu chant. Tommy Dreamer Impact Zone, were going extreme. Dreamer hugs Dixie as we close out. AWESOME WAY TO END THE SHOW.
The Miz talks about when he'll cash in MITB Posted by Roscoe De Soto on 07/24/2010 at 05:09 PM
IGN.com has an interview up with The Miz and here are some highlights...
On getting started in wrestling: The Ballard Brothers actually trained me. They taught me how to lock up and how to run the ropes. They taught me all the basics. Other people who were around were Frankie Kazarian. Samoa Joe was down there. Cena had just left when I got there. Right before I came. I don't think anyone else that's in the WWE was there. Mike Knox was in IZW and I wrestled him a couple times while on the independents. Those are the main guys, more or less. Everyone else quits. And trust me, I've seen a lot of people come in and a lot of people quit.
On working with Bryan Danielson on NXT: I loved it. When they said that Bryan Danielson was going to be my "rookie" I thought it was a genius move. It really was. I mean, think about it. I'm the guy who everyone looks down at and says "this guy can't wrestle. We can't stand him." And they look at him like a god. They look at him and call him the best technical wrestler in the world. Now I didn't know Danielson at the time he came in so the way I looked at it was like this: I was like "screw these people who say he's the best. He's never been in the WWE." He's travelled all over the world but the WWE is a different entity. It's nothing like anything he's ever experienced.
On the differences between him and Danielson: People just think I went from reality TV right to the WWE. They think that the WWE sought me out because I was on a reality TV show and they just scooped me up because I liked wrestling. That wasn't the case. I paid my way to get into a school $2,500 by the way. I had to pay out of my own pocket to learn how to wrestle while I was still a star on MTV and doing their shows. And I didn't mind paying because it was one of those things where I knew this was what I wanted to do. So for three years I was on the independents. Sorry it didn't take me ten. My bad. It took me three because I had something that the WWE was looking for. Now does Bryan Danielson have "it?" To be completely honest with you, I think he did a tremendous job while he was on NXT. As far as developing a persona. People are still chanting his name to this day.
Do I think he got the short end of the stick on the whole Nexus thing? Of course. But the fact is he is no longer here so you live and you learn. But as far as Danielson is concerned, he won me over. He changed my mind about him. I thought he was just going to be a guy who couldn't talk. And then I saw a couple of his matches on the independents and I wasn't really blown away. I think it's because everyone kept telling me "he's the best in the world." I think he was so hyped up by all his indie friends that - you know when everyone tells you that a movie is the best and "oh, man. You've gotta see this movie"? You know when you see clips from a movie and it all looks great and then you go see the whole thing and you come out and you say "Well, it was good but...it wasn't as great as everyone said it was." That was Danielson to me. But then I also thought that towards the end he proved himself.
On cashing in his MITB title shot: Cena, And here's why. Because I had six months where I ripped him to shred in my promos. Just months and months of ripping him and ripping him. Right up until the Pay Per View match where he just killed me. And let's face it. I wasn't ready for Cena. We all knew I wasn't ready for Cena. But now? Right now? I think I'm getting there. I'm just at the point where I really think I could take him.
- Brett DiBiase appeared at the FCW show earlier this week as the one-night General Manager role. DiBiase is no longer using crutches and is walking with a slight limp. It's believed DiBiase will be out of action for a few more months. DiBiase is now doing a gimmick similar to his brother Ted, where he has the DiBiase family trust fund.

Unified Tag Team Champions The Hart Dynasty def. The Usos (PHOTOS | WATCH) In a rematch from Money in the Bank, the Unified Tag Team Champions locked up with the impressive young duo known as The Usos. Bitter about their defeat on Sunday, Jimmy & Jey were determined to be The Hart Dynasty in their place tonight, but taking out David Hart Smith & Tyson Kidd is easier said than done. After a brutal contest that saw involvement from Tamina and Natalya, the Harts were able to connect with the Hart Attack to defeat their rivals once again.
Primo def. Yoshi Tatsu (PHOTOS | WATCH) Yoshi Tatsu and Primo have had their share of contests on WWE Superstars and tonights battle between the two young Superstars was as hard-fought and exciting as ever. Attacking the Puerto Rican Superstar with a variety of devastating kicks, Tatsu was able to control much of the action and seemed close to victory on multiple occasions. But The Cardiac Kids high-risk offense got the better of him in the end when Primo managed to reverse an attempted top rope maneuver into a brutal Backstabber for the 1-2-3.
Chavo Guerrero def. JTG (PHOTOS | WATCH) After suffering a surprising loss to Chavo Guerrero on last Thursdays edition of WWE Superstars, JTG was planning on evening up the score tonight. Unfortunately for the Brooklyn Superstar, things did not go his way. Although JTG aggressively attacked his opponent, he wasnt able to outsmart the crafty veteran. After nailing a big Frog Splash, the self-proclaimed Mexican Warrior picked up yet another win.
MVP & Chris Masters def. Trent Barreta & Caylen Croft (PHOTOS | WATCH) With his NXT Rookie Percy Watson looking on from ringside, the talented MVP put on a clinic on how to succeed in WWE. Teaming with Chris Masters for the first time, the champagne popping Superstar helped silence the explosive offense of The Dudebusters before nailing the Play of the Day for the win. The eccentric Watson was thrilled with his Pros victory, but maybe thats just the way he always behaves.
Former ECW star turns down TNA Posted by Corbin Nordhoff on 07/24/2010 at 02:49 PM
Lance Storm posted the following on stormwrestling.com:
I was hoping to write a bigger article about the TNA: ECW Themed PPV, because I am getting bombarded with questions, but I've got a very busy schedule for the next week, so I'll just address this here and now.
I was asked if I would be interested in taking part in the TNA: One Last Stand PPV. I think it was big of them to extend me the offer, considering my general opinion of the TNA product, and want to I thank them for that, but I will not be taking part.
I feel it would be hypocritical of me to work the show, considering my out outspoken views of the TNA product. I have a great deal of respect for the boys who will be working the show as well as the great workers on the TNA roster, but I have no desire to be a part of the TNA creative process. As for ECW, One Night Stand in 2005 was my farewell and am content in letting sleeping dogs lie.

Heat between Vince McMahon and Shawn Michaels? Posted by Roscoe De Soto on 07/22/2010 at 02:16 PM

It seems there might be some tension right now between WWE Chairman Vince McMahon and former WWE superstar Shawn Michaels. According to Dave Meltzer, McMahon recently made the call to have the announcers no longer mention Michaels on air and for there to be no footage of him shown on WWE television. Reports are circulating that the reasoning behind this was that Michaels was very unhappy about the Bryan Danielson situation. It's also believed that McMahon is upset that HBK decided to call time on his wrestling career, as McMahon felt there was still more years left in the tank. Michaels is said to be very distanced from having any involvement with wrestling at this point.
It's reported that WWE star Mark Henry was injured on RAW this past Monday night. The injury came when Wade Barrett awkwardly dropped Henry on his back at the end of their bout on Raw. For those who may have missed it, Barrett almost fell over when he had Henry on his shoulders to give him his finisher, and when he dropped him to the mat, Henry landed hard on his shoulder and back. It is unknown at this time how serious the injury to Henry is, but it is serious enough that he had to miss the following night's NXT taping.

Latest news on the ECW storyline and Paul Heyman Posted by Corbin Nordhoff on 07/22/2010 at 04:57 PM
Credit: F4WOnline.com
Sources indicate that in a recent meeting with TNA President Dixie Carter, Paul Heyman emphasized he didnt believe in drastic changes, bur rather the way to go is with new talent as the key stars while using a few veterans to give them credibility, not unlike how he used Terry Funk in the original ECW. Ironically, Heyman did not support the idea of an ECW invasion when it was brought up, yet Carter went ahead and did it anyway, plugging Tommy Dreamer into the role that essentially would have belonged to Heyman (both on-screen and behind the scenes).
Heyman is also said to have told Carter to her face that of the older legends they have under contract, she could keep one and get rid of the others, and she didnt seem to understand why. Carter has been loyal to the stars of the past and has been resistant to giving anyone the authority to hire or fire people. This includes Vince Russo and even Jim Ross, back when they were making a serious play for him.
While the Heyman deal is cold, it is nowhere close to being dead. TNA sees Heymans asking for points in the company as merely a negotiating tactic and is still hopeful a deal can be reached.

Commentators: Jeremy Borash & Taz
TNA Xplosion Intro
Jeremy Borash and the Human Suplex Machine Taz welcome us to the show. Things are heating up as we get closer to Victory Road 2010. Taz says tonight we have a couple of hot matches as Rosie Lottalove takes on Taylor Wilde and Magnus takes on one half of Generation Me Max Buck in the main event. JB discusses Magnus attacking Rob Terry on last weeks show, we attempt to get an explanation as we join Magnus backstage.
Magnus is sitting on a bench in the locker room. He says he dosent need to explain his actions to anybody, but if someone wants to know they should see it for themselves. He brought Rob Terry into TNA and now he needs to learn his place again, and thats below Magnus in the food chain. Thats why he attacked Terry last week and its why hes going to take his global title from him.
He goes on to say if anybody is the face of TNA UK (did we just get a mention on Xplosion?) its him and when you talk about Global, well hes a global star which is why he should be the Global champion. If Rob knows whats good for him hell accept the challenge because if he doesnt hell be in a world of trouble until he does accept. The sooner he deals with it the quicker he can move on. Tonight Rob will get a little taste of whats in store when he literally wipes the mat with Max Buck.
Next up its time for TNA REWIND as we take a look back at what happened on iMPACT! between The Monster Abyss and The Charismatic Enigma Jeff Hardy .
TNA REWIND: Highlights from Abyss vs Jeff Hardy with RVD as special guest referee on this past weeks episode of TNA iMPACT!
Max Buck is backstage in front of the kick-ass TNA logo wall. Says hes got a opportunity tonight to show the whole TNA world what hes capable of against a giant like Magnus. Says Generation Me have been showing TNA what their capable of since they got here. They stole the show at Destination X against the Machine Guns. Tonight, its no different, hes going to go out there and show what hes capable of. Says Magnus is a big beast of a guys, he may be smaller but hes quicker and more athletic and Magnus wont know where hes coming from. Jeremy Buck enters on screen to tell Max hes up soon and wishes him good luck.
We join Rosie Lottalove backstage, shes draped over a red couch and with questionable porno-esque music playing in the background. This .is just ..wrong! Rosie says she is the plus sized pin-up of the knockouts division. But just because shes pretty doesnt mean she cant pack a punch. Says she plans on being Knockouts champ very soon. Says her bout with Taylor Wilde tonight should be interesting as shes a former champ and is small and agile, but Rosie is smart and she will catch her. Says Taylor can expect the same thing from Rosie that everyone else does and thats A whole lotta Rosie!! Gotta admit her catchphrase is cool.
We join Taylor Wilde who is sitting on the floor of the Knockouts locker room. Says she and Sarita were partners and now after what happened she dosent know where to go from here, its a whole new world but shes ready for it.
We take a quick look back at Sarita and Taylors backstage brawl at last weeks iMPACT!
We rejoin Taylor in the locker room. Says she cant stop thinking about Sarita and how they are no longer tag-partners nor friends and theyve been beating the ever lasting piss outta each other for god knows how long. Says shes got a lot of frustrations right now and Rosie Lottalove is going to be on the other side of that tonight. Taylor is worried about settling the score with Sarita, she was supposed to be her friend and cant understand why shes doing this. Taylor says its no longer about business, its about her (Saritas) sanity!
We cut to the back and see Sarita entering the building. A cameraman tells her shes not scheduled to be here on Xplosion tonight and asks why she is here. Sarita tells him to get the camera out of her face and not to worry about why shes here, hell find out soon! i smell a screwjob finish!!

We are back with more TNA REWIND as we look back at Matt Morgans interview from iMPACT! Strangely they cut the segment where he injures Homicide, likely because Homicide is up soon in the Main Event here on Xplosion, i thought theyd write Homicide out and put Magnus in instead, i guess not.

NXT Taping Results - July 20, 2010 Posted by Steve Carrier on 07/20/2010 at 08:33 PM
A video of Tribute to the Troops: Iraq 2009 was shown while the stage crew setup the ring for NXT. NXT began as Josh Matthews and Michael Cole came to the announce table. Nathan wrote, "If you want to know how close I am, just look for my friend's 'Larry, wish you were here sign' behind the announce table."
Cole and Matthews begin the show as Striker runs through the obstacle course for later on in the show.
MVP was in the ring for the VIP lounge setup as Percy Watson came to the ring. They talked about respect. Striker came to the ring and asked Percy why he should be No. 1 in the poll.
Cody Rhodes and Husky Harris come out next to answer the same question. I couldn't hear the answer due to a lot of "You Suck!" chants. Striker announced that a match between the two teams would be next.
The pros are at the top of the stage.
1. Cody Rhodes and Husky Harris defeated MVP and Percy Watson. Harris got the pin for his team.
Striker came to the ring to give Lucky Cannon and Alex Riley the same question as everyone else. To sum up what Lucky Cannon said, "I'm not going to waste your time.... Thank you." Riley cut a great promo followed by the Miz. Those two are great on the mic.
A recap was shown before the match of Mark Henry's loss to Wade Barrett on Monday Raw.
2. Alex Riley (w/Miz) defeated Lucky Cannon. Mark Henry was not in Cannon's corner. Lucky Cannon took the early advantage. He threw Riley to the ropes and clotheslined him. He went to the top rope and dove off only for Riley to move out of the way.
Riley took the advantage on Cannon by putting him on his shoulders and then giving him a neckbreaker for the pinfall. After Riley got the win, Miz hit Cannon with the Skull Crushing Finale on the Money in the Bank briefcase.
Striker asked Eli cottonwood and John Morrison the same question. Eli Cottonwood looks like a beast. He intimidated Striker by getting up in his face asking him who will he vote for.
LayCool and Kaval were asked the same question. Kaval said that the ball is in the court of the WWE Universe. The obstacle course is up next.
The obstacle course took place with the person with the fastest time earning immunity From elimination. Michael McGillicutty was up first with 26.7 sec. Alex Riley was next with 40.3 seconds and was disqualified. Eli Cottonwood got 37.2 seconds but was also disqualified.
Lucky Cannon got it in 28.2 sec. Kaval was next with 29.1 sec. Percy Watson got through it in 31.5 seconds. Husky Harris went last and got 50.3 seconds. Husky knocked down the third hurdle. I guess he thought he couldn't make it. McGillicutty won the competition and is immune from elimination next week.
Jack Swagger spoke to Silvervision.co.uk recently and was asked about being compared to Kurt Angle and if the use of Angles ankle lock finisher is a way to show hes better than the TNA star.
Swagger replied: Im a big fan of Kurt Angle and its great to be compared to him. The ankle lock is something I picked up when I was training.
- Tommy Dreamer wrote the following on Twitter after Kane won the World Title at Money in the Bank: "Congrats to Kane. If anyone ever deserved being a world champion it is him. Even without knees. He is 1 of the best."
