John Morrison def. Chris Jericho Divas Champion Melina def. Alicia Fox John Cena def. Justin Gabriel Edge def. The Great Khali by Count-out Edge def. The Great Khali in an Over-the-Top-Rope Challenge Randy Orton def. Wade Barrett
WASHINGTON D.C. In the shadow of the breathtaking Washington Monument, Randy Orton made a few breathtaking monumental statements of his own. In the U.S. capital, The Viper countered the attacks of four Superstars with a flurry of RKOs.
Randy Orton def. Wade Barrett (PHOTOS | WATCH) Randy Orton seemed a man possessed. In the nights main event match, The Viper faced off against Wade Barrett as WWE Champion Sheamus, Edge and John Cena looked on from ringside. And although the opponents appeared evenly matched, Orton slithered past his foe when the leader of The Nexus was haunted by a face from his past: Darren Young.
The banished Nexus member distracted Barrett long enough to allow The Viper to level him with an RKO and prevail in the match. Orton, however, was hardly content with a singular strike. He subsequently coiled around Young, Edge and Sheamus, leaving each incapacitated by an RKO.
Although Cena entered the ring as well, the two appeared justifiably cautious in the presence of one another, content to stare each other down until next week when they will happily settle any scores.
Edge def. The Great Khali (PHOTOS | WATCH) With his spot in the Six Pack Challenge hanging in the balance, Edge hoped to defeat his opponent, The Great Khali, by count-out. The victory, however, left Raws anonymous General Manager hungry for more. As a result, the GM announced that the match must end with a definitive conclusion and would be an Over-the-Top-Rope Challenge.
Since Khali captured the World Heavyweight Championship in a joust of this kind, the stipulation appeared to favor the Punjabi giant. The Ultimate Opportunist, however, wasnt beaten yet. Despite the tremendous setback, Edge managed to depose his lofty adversary, sending him tumbling over the top rope and maintaining his slot in the Six Pack Challenge at Night of Champions.
John Cena will face winner of Randy Orton vs. Wade Barrett match Raws anonymous General Manager chimed in to inform the WWE Universe that the winner of the match pitting Randy Orton against Wade Barrett will be rewarded with a match against John Cena on next weeks Raw. Adding to the excitement of next weeks show, Raw Roulette returns! The high-stakes wheel promises to provide a series of unexpected and must-watch matches.
United States Champion The Miz accepted title match challenge from Daniel Bryan (PHOTOS |WATCH) The Miz has arrived. Despite his arrogance, the United States Champion does deserve some credit. After all, he did make it onto the cover of this months WWE Magazine. As Mr. Money in the Bank boasted about the honor, Daniel Bryan cut him short. Daniel Bryan respectfully asked for a title match against Miz at Night of Champions.
Miz accepted, so that, as he said, he might embarrass his nemesis. As the two Superstars shook on it, The Cleveland Screamer took a cheap shot. Daniel Bryan, however, flipped the script and locked Miz in the LeBell Lock. Just as it appeared Miz was prepared to tap out, his season two NXT Rookie Alex Riley charged the ring from the audience and rescued the United States Champion. Afterward, Miz allowed Riley to get locked into the LeBell Lock and suffer as he simply looked on. Once Daniel Bryan had released the hold, he then kicked over the poster-sized photo of the magazine cover Miz had so smugly displayed.
John Cena def. Justin Gabriel (PHOTOS | WATCH) John Cena wasnt about to give Justin Gabriel the satisfaction. The South African had already hit Cena with three 450° Splashes over the past few months, including one the week before, after which Gabriel had pinned Cena.
This week would tell a far different story. Without his contingent of Nexus cronies to rely upon, Gabriel failed to notch a fourth devastating 450° Splash. In fact, he appeared to flail in the face of Cenas strength and size advantage, finally succumbing to a vengeful Attitude Adjustment off the top rope to end the match.
Divas Champion Melina def. Alicia Fox (PHOTOS | WATCH) Invoking her rematch clause, former Divas Champion Alicia Fox challenged current champion Melina to a title match. Angered that she might be relegated to lumberjill status during the Divas and Womens Championship Unification Lumberjill Match, Fox needed a win to recapture the spotlight. Alas, the towering Floridian came up short against Melina, who retained her title.
John Morrison def. Chris Jericho (PHOTOS | WATCH) After deserting their teammates in last weeks 5-on-5 Tag Team Elimination Match, Chris Jericho and Edge were informed by the Raw GM that they must win their singles matches tonight in order to maintain their slots in the Six Pack Challenge at Night of Champions.
An ill-tempered Jericho was none too happy, especially when his opponent was revealed to be The Guru of Greatness, John Morrison. Unfortunately for Jericho, his fury was only compounded when Morrison toppled Mr. Vocabulary, not only handing him a loss but, in essence, booting him from the Six Pack Challenge and snuffing out any hope he may have had of capturing the WWE Title.
Randy Orton confronted The Nexus; Raw GM arranged main events (PHOTOS) Modest. Humble. Self-effacing. Three characteristics foreign to the arrogant Superstars of The Nexus. The five outlaws kicked off Raw by recapping last weeks episode, in which they ganged up on The Undertaker and punished The Phenom, and also prevailed in a 5-on-5 Tag Team Elimination Match after both Chris Jericho and Edge abandoned their squad.
When the five members took turns bragging, Randy Orton interrupted the self-righteous revelry. Just when the rhetoric between Wade Barrett and The Viper became overheated, Raws anonymous General Manager broke in to inform Nexus that while their collective effort may have been impressive, they would be put to the test as individuals tonight. First up, The Nexus leader Wade Barrett would face Orton, the man he pinned last week to win the main event match. Next, Justin Gabriel would battle the man he pinned the week before, John Cena. And neither Nexus member would enjoy the assistance of their fellow outlaws since The Nexus is banned from ringside during both bouts. Pay-Per-View Schedules

While Triple H has had Vince's ear for the past several years, it was always in an unofficial capacity. From this point forward, he will have a much more authoritative voice in regards to the company's creative direction and its many performers.

When The Undertaker emerged to confront Kane, his frightening younger brother disappeared.

- Apparently, there are reports circulating online indicating that World Wrestling Entertainment has re-signed former performer Nick "Eugene" Dinsmore. Those within the company have stated that the reports are untrue.
It would appear that Aloisia has been pulled from appearing on the third season of NXT as the official WWE website issued a statement this afternoon indicating that the 6-foot-9 Rookie Diva was fired by her Pro, Vickie Guerrero.
Guerrero's new Rookie Diva will be announced on the NXT season three premiere this Tuesday night on Syfy.
Earlier today, WWE.com removed all mentions of Aloisa promoting the new season of NXT, prompting speculation that she had been removed from the program.
WWE Pro Vickie Guerrero has fired her NXT season three Rookie Diva, Aloisia.
Various sources are reporting that Guerrero, the temperamental Official Consultant of SmackDown, had an argument with her 6-foot-9 Rookie Diva over Vickies influence over Aloisia.
The news has left WWE NXT season three shaken before its even started. But when reached for comment, Guerrero stated she would reveal her new Rookie Diva on the WWE NXT season three premiere this Tuesday night at 10 p.m. ET on Syfy.
You can click here to see photos of her. You've got to see these. She's freakin' unreal!!
Of course, this has 'storyline' written all over it but it's possible she may not appear on the show. We'll have an update shortly.
Couple pieces of news dealing with TNA was the announcement a few days ago by Dixie Carter that the company signed a big name. The person is apparently someone the fans have been asking about. Carlito? Shelton Benjamin? Mickie James? According to the guys over at The Sports Courier it's James. I was quick to shout out Carlito after a tweet by D'Angelo Dinero but Dinero quickly replied to folks that it was purely coincidence that his tweet included the word "cool".
Earlier today, Carter tweeted that the Thursday prior to Bound for Glory the company will air a live iMPACT!. There are more changes to come as well.
Show Starts
A video hyping the tournament to crown the new world champion airs with soundbites from the four remaining men, Eric Bischoff, and Hulk Hogan. The show is titled "10.10.10" so they seem to be focusing on the pay-per-view in October, not this Sunday?

Dont know where to catch WWE Superstars? Find WGN America in your area. Can't see WWE Superstars on WGN America in your area? Stay with WWE.com for full results, photos and video clips of all the action.
Kofi Kingston def. Chavo Guerrero (PHOTOS | WATCH) For a few weeks, it looked as though Chavo Guerrero may have turned things around. The self-proclaimed Mexican Warrior was riding a wave of success after scoring consecutive victories over Chris Masters and JTG on WWE Superstars, but all things must pass. For Guerrero, that happened tonight as the explosive Kofi Kingston dropped the boom on the cagey veteran. Youll get em next time, Chavo.
Santino Marella def. Jimmy Uso (PHOTOS | WATCH) Everyone in the WWE Universe knows Santino Marella is hilarious, but who knew he was so irresistible to women? His surprising sex appeal was on full display tonight as Jimmy Usos manager, Tamina, couldnt help but lust after the Italian Superstar. This wild attraction kept the Diva distracted and helped Santino dispose of the tag team specialist in short order.
Ted DiBiase def. Goldust (PHOTOS | WATCH) Who says money cant buy happiness? Certainly not Ted DiBiase, who walked to ring tonight with the Million Dollar Championship around his waist, the gorgeous Maryse on his arm and a look of determination in his eye. Although the Fortunate Son was going up against the veteran Goldust, he showed no bit of intimidation before locking up with The Bizarre One. And with Maryse keeping Goldust distracted from ringside, it wasnt long before DiBiase hit Dream Street to cash in another rich victory.
Matt Hardy posted the following on his Twitter account today:
"Gotta state this. I'm sick & tired of being 'hurt', being misused, & not being shown the respect that I've earned-something has to change."
SPOILER ALERT: You should see the segment this week on SmackDown!. Cody Rhodes trashed the hell out of him in a promo before the match and then defeated him clean. Rhodes called him ugly, fat, out of shape, etc etc. I was there live and it was pretty brutal. It also seemed to me like it was a way to send a message but that's just my opinion.
Anyways, expect Hardy to talk about working the dirt sheets in a few minutes. Yup.
