TNA is currently advertising Team 3D for upcoming house show events in New York, Philadelphia and Rahway from September 23-25th. So either they have agreed to new deals with the company or are simply being brought in to work those specific dates. As reported on earlier, Brother Ray is still working backstage with TNA as an agent and part of creative.
News on Kip James and an alleged mistress Posted by Corbin Nordhoff on 09/11/2010 at 03:56 PM
The following is an excerpt from an article on WinnipegSun.com regarding a Kip James/mistress story:
A pro wrestling star who had a turbulent affair with a Winnipeg woman sought help from police to put an end to her phone calls, text messages and e-mails.
In a complaint to the Lake County (Fla.) Sheriffs Office in August, Monty (Kip) Sopp accused his former mistress, Deborah Simmons, of harassing him on a daily basis after his wife became aware of the tryst and the affair fizzled.
Simmons, who was aware of the marriage, denied harassing the Sopps and claimed she was responding to the couples calls or messages to her.
The sordid, he said, she said ordeal grabbed headlines and was fodder for gossip websites because Simmons uploaded Sopps angry, profanity-laden phone rants to a website.
Daniel Bryan vs. United States Champion The Miz ended in a No Contest Daniel Bryan def. Alex Riley in a Submission Match Edge def. Evan Bourne in a Body Slam Challenge Mark Henry def. Edge in a Body Slam Challenge R-Truth & Eve def. Ted DiBiase & Maryse in a Song and Dance Match WWE Champion Sheamus def. John Morrison in a Falls Count Anywhere Match Chris Jericho def. WWE Tag Team Champions The Hart Dynasty in a Steel Cage Handicap Match Goldust def. William Regal in a Trading Places Match Randy Orton def. John Cena in a Tables Match
CINCINNATI With just six days until Night of Champions, several competitors in that nights Six Pack Elimination Challenge pushed their luck with Raws Roulette Wheel. Some hit the jackpot in their matches, while others saw their fortunes dwindle at the tables.
Randy Orton def. John Cena in a Tables Match (PHOTOS | WATCH) John Cena and Randy Orton hadnt faced one another in singles competition since December of 2009. That lapse in no way diminished the animosity that has always simmered just below the surface. During their Tables Match in the nights main event, those callous feelings could no longer be contained.
As the battle progressed, various Superstars would power through more lumber than a Home Depot. In the end, Barrett (and his Nexus cohorts), Edge and Jericho, and The Celtic Warrior would all invade the ring.
Barrett and The Nexus attempted to upend both Cena and Orton, but together the two would dispose of the five members, mostly by sending them through tables.
Next up, The Ultimate Opportunist and the ever-conceited Canadian attempted to disrupt the proceedings. Instead, The Viper sent the two of them headlong into the same piece of splintering lumber.
Meanwhile, outside the ring, Cena seized the WWE Champion, heaved him atop his granite shoulders and sent him hurtling onto the cold, hard arena floor with an Attitude Adjustment.
Finally, Cena snatched Orton up onto his shoulders and readied him for yet another Attitude Adjustment. Just when it appeared The Apex Predator would soon crash through one of the tables, though, he turned the AA inside out, coiling his arm around Cenas neck and administering a mid-air RKO. The lethal maneuver sent his opponent crashing through the long lumber platform for the win and a sizable helping of momentum heading into Sunday evening.
Goldust def. William Regal in a Trading Places Match (PHOTOS | WATCH) Lookin good, Regal! Feelin good, Goldust! In one of the more bizarre bouts in WWE, William Regal faced off against Goldust in a Trading Places Match, meaning the two men must swap ring attire and entrance music before battle. With Regal (as Goldust) snapping and biting, it was Goldust (as Regal) who pulled brass knuckles out of his trunks and locked in the win for Mother England and, well, weirdoes everywhere.
Chris Jericho def. WWE Tag Team Champions The Hart Dynasty in a Steel Cage Handicap Match (PHOTOS | WATCH) After ruining John Morrisons opportunity to replace him in the Six Pack Challenge at Night of Champions, Chris Jericho chucked a tantrum. He sat in the ring until the GM finally acknowledged him. Rather than allow ever-conceited Superstar to grind the show to a halt, the GM arranged a Steel Cage Handicap Match pitting Jericho against WWE Tag Team Champions The Hart Dynasty. If Jericho prevailed, he would then be included in the Six Pack Challenge Match. However, the Six Pack Challenge is now a Six Pack Elimination Challenge beginning with six men, then once someone is pinned or submits, that Superstar is eliminated until there is a sole winner.
Once the sinister structure was lowered into place, Jericho went about attempting to dismantle David Hart Smith & Tyson Kidd. Not an easy task. While Hart Smith escaped the cage, Kidd opted to face Jericho, to prove his bones. The young Superstar, though, had underestimated his foe. The wily Canadian struggled mightily and finally overcame Kidd, forcing him to tap out to secure both the victory and his slot in the Six Pack Elimination Challenge.
WWE Champion Sheamus def. John Morrison in a Falls Count Anywhere Match (PHOTOS | WATCH) It was the opportunity of a lifetime. John Morrison had defeated Chris Jericho the week prior, and now he would be competing against WWE Champion Sheamus in a Falls Count Anywhere Match to earn a spot in the Six Pack Challenge at Night of Champions. Unfortunately, Chris Jericho, the man he might replace, wasnt about to step aside so easily.
The Guru of Greatness leveraged his athleticism and agility against The Celtic Warrior, who appeared determined to make a statement just six days before Night of Champions. As the duo battled up the entrance ramp, Jericho appeared and bashed Morrison from behind with a steel chair, allowing the Irishman the victory.
R-Truth & Eve def. Ted DiBiase & Maryse in a Song and Dance Match (PHOTOS | WATCH) Ted DiBiase may have millions of dollars, but he certainly hasnt spent any on singing lessons. The Fortunate Son and his special lady friend, Maryse, competed against R-Truth & Eve in a Song and Dance Match. Truth dropped his new joint, Krunk, to which Eve did some sexy shaking. For his part, DiBiase strangled the Sinatra classic, My Way, while Maryse pranced around him.
The audience determined the winners, Truth & Eve, which didnt sit well with the moneyed menaces. DiBiase & Maryse proceeded to attack, but before any damage could be done, Truth & Eve busted a few moves of their own to emerge unscathed.
Edge def. Evan Bourne in a Body Slam Challenge; Mark Henry def. Edge in a Body Slam Challenge (PHOTOS | WATCH) Its safe to say that Edge and Raws General Manager will not be exchanging Christmas cards this year. Last week, the GM punished The Rated-R Superstar for earlier transgressions he made by requiring him to battle The Great Khali twice.
This week, the GM arranged for Edge to compete against Evan Bourne in a Body Slam Challenge as designated by the Raw Roulette Wheel. The Ultimate Opportunist used his size advantage to prevail in the contest, but then he crossed the line and Speared Bourne for no apparent reason.
Thats when the GM prescribed a second dose of punishment in the form of Mark Henry. The Rated-R Superstar was forced to take his medicine against The Worlds Strongest Man with the same stipulation. This time, Edge would have too much difficulty powering his sizable foe overhead and was eventually slammed in defeat by Henry.
Daniel Bryan def. Alex Riley in a Submission Match (PHOTOS | WATCH) Subbing for his WWE Pro, The Miz, Alex Riley appeared eager to avenge his mentor. The season two WWE NXT Rookie grappled with Daniel Bryan in a Submission Match after the United States Champion forfeited the match due to a hernia (insert eyeroll here). Riley, however, was no match for the submission specialist and eventually tapped out.
In a miracle that will undoubtedly be documented in countless medical journals, Mr. Money in the Bank then appeared in perfect health as he bolted into the ring to ambush his Night of Champions opponent. Daniel Bryan, however, countered the attack and locked Miz into the agonizing LeBell Lock. (More on LeBell Lock)
Daniel Bryan vs. U.S. Champion The Miz ended in a No Contest (PHOTOS | WATCH) During his match against Daniel Bryan, The Miz came dangerously close to tapping out. In an odd coincidence, all the struggling Miz did to try and break free must have caused him to develop the worlds fastest growing hernia or so he claimed. The United States Champion insisted on dropping out of the Submission Match due to the phantom hernia, so that he could save himself for his title defense against Daniel Bryan at Night of Champions. He then nominated his season two WWE NXT Rookie Alex Riley to fill his boots.
Raw special guest star Chad Ochocinco confronted U.S. Champion The Miz (PHOTOS | WATCH) Even his fellow Ohioans can hardly stomach The Miz. The United States Champion patted himself on the back before insulting Raws special guest star, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver and VH1 reality show star Chad Ochocinco.
As the two outspoken athletes traded barbs, Raws anonymous General Manager interrupted to reveal the stipulation Miz must compete in, as determined by the Raw Roulette Wheel: A Submission Match. Much to Mizs chagrin, the GM then allowed Ochocinco to choose Mr. Money in the Banks opponent. Despite protests from Miz, you guessed it, the football player chose submission specialist Daniel Bryan.
John Cena to face Randy Orton in a Tables Match in the nights main event Whos feeling lucky? John Cena and Randy Orton watched as the Raw Roulette Wheel spun to decide the type of match they must compete in. The Viper seemed pleased when the wheel stopped on a Tables Match. Ortons demeanor may have had everything to do with the fact that the last time Cena competed in a Tables Match, he dropped the WWE Championship to Sheamus. As Cena reminded announcer Josh Mathews, however, that happened right around the time the Legendary star last faced and defeated Orton.
Jack Swagger def. MVP Alberto Del Rio def. Matt Hardy Drew McIntyre def. Kaval Kofi Kingston & Chris Masters def. Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler & Chavo Guerrero The Undertaker def. CM Punk
BALTIMORE With Night of Champions just nine days away, The Undertaker upped the ante by proposing the match with World Heavyweight Champion Kane be a No Holds Barred Match. And in his first match since being attacked by his brother, The Phenom picked up a win over CM Punk.
The Undertaker def. CM Punk (WATCH | PHOTOS) He came. He saw. He conquered CM Punk.
Even though still feeling the lingering effects of being attacked by Kane, The Undertaker summoned from within to get the job done against the leader of The Straight Edge Society. After downing Punk with a chokeslam, it looked like it was over, but Punk managed to kick out of an attempted pinfall. Next, The Deadman went for a Tombstone, but Punk countered with the GTS. Finally, using his lethal Hells Gate submission hold, The Phenom forced Punk to tap out.
After the match, Kanes maniacal laughter echoed throughout the arena while flames shot skyward from the ring posts. His presence was felt, but never seen. The question lingers: Will Kane accept The Undertakers challenge to make their Night of Champions bout a No Holds Barred Match? (Preview)
Kofi Kingston & Chris Masters def. Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler & Chavo Guerrero (WATCH | PHOTOS) WWE NXT season three Rookie Diva Kaitlyn started to introduce the match competitors, but Official SmackDown Consultant Vickie Guerrero quickly snatched the mic from her and did the honors, focusing solely on Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler. In the end of the tag team encounter, Vickie's boyfriend fell to Kofi Kingstons Trouble in Paradise. At Night of Champions, if Ziggler is counted out or disqualified in his match against Kingston, he loses the Intercontinental Title. (Preview)
Drew McIntyre def. Kaval (WATCH | PHOTOS) Cleary an underdog in the match against Drew McIntyre, Kaval was looking to have a good showing during his SmackDown debut. The WWE NXT season two winner held his own at some points during the bout, but the Sinister Scotsman dispatched of him with a Future Shock DDT.
Alberto Del Rio def. Matt Hardy (WATCH | PHOTOS) Alberto Del Rio arrived in style by driving a white Bentley to the ring. In his toughest challenge to date, Del Rio smashed Hardy into the steel ring post then forced him to tap out with a cross armbreaker. Then, before Del Rio could inflict more damage to Hardy after the bell, Christian came charging to the rescue. With Christian standing in the ring, Del Rio claimed from outside that Christian would pay for his actions at another place and time.
Jack Swagger def. MVP (WATCH | PHOTOS) Despite a formidable fight from MVP, it was The All-American American Jack Swagger who picked up a victory by making MVP tap out to his painful ankle lock.
The Undertaker proposed a No Holds Barred Match (WATCH | PHOTOS) Eager to go to war with World Heavyweight Champion Kane at Night of Champions, The Undertaker suggested that their match be a No Holds Barred Match. After The Deadman issued his challenge, CM Punk emerged and claimed The Phenom is on a personal, downward spiral. Unphased by Punks tough talk, The Undertaker described Punk as his next victim.

Wade Barrett talks about his rise in WWE Posted by Roscoe De Soto on 09/11/2010 at 01:29 PM
In an interview with Tim Baines of Slam! Wrestling, WWE RAW star and leader of The Nexus Wade Barrett discussed his quick rise in his WWE career, having the opportunity to work alongside Chris Jericho, the reasoning behind the setup of The Nexus and more. Highlights of the interview are below:
On his decision to become a professional wrestler: I was the tallest kid in my class, I decided to become a wrestler when I was 21. But I was all skin and bones. I had to improve my physique.
On his rise in the WWE and main eventing WWE Summerslam: It is pretty surreal, I got a bit nervous in the main event at SummerSlam, especially when I saw we were facing a team with many former world champions. But now Im at the point where I almost expect to be at that level.
On the formation of The Nexus and whether he ever sees the group being cheered by WWEs fans: We decided we werent happy with the way we treated on NXT, we were made to do some ridiculous tasks. What we did by forming The Nexus was our reaction to the way we had been treated. And ultimately, it worked out very well for us. At one time, everybody hated D-Generation X and booed them. But then, later, the fans loved DX. Ive never gone out and courted favours. Ive never gone out to be booed, either. Its just me being myself. I can see people in The Nexus getting cheered. Its difficult not to like Justin Gabriel when you see him in the ring. Hes one of those guys like an Evan Bourne or a Rey Mysterio, a high flyer. Maybe fans will like half of the guys and hate the other half. But at the moment, the fans dont like us too much.
On working with Chris Jericho: Look at the top stars, wrestlers like Randy Orton, John Cena and Chris Jericho. Theyve got the (microphone) skills, the appearance, the ring skills, even the facial expressions. One thing (Jericho) talked to me about was that you cant be strong in just one area. It was absolutely a huge deal to work with him. On the last ECW show, when they announced what the pro and rookie pairings would be, I had no idea who Id be paired with. So I sat at home, like everybody else, watching ECW. Ive always been a huge fan. When I looked at the list (of pros), I definitely got the ace in the pack.
R-Truth def. William Regal Goldust & Gail Kim def. Primo & Jillian Trent Barreta & Caylen Croft def. Vance Archer & Curt Hawkins Big Show def. Luke Gallows 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.
Big Show def. Luke Gallows (PHOTOS | WATCH) After disappointing CM Punk with a loss to Big Show on SmackDown, Luke Gallows attempted to make it up to his Straight Edge Society leader by defeating the giant. Of course, dismantling The Worlds Largest Athlete is much easier said than done. So it came as no surprise when Big Show stomped down the ring, plowed through Gallows and picked up a dominating victory. Will the SmackDown giant be just as imposing when he faces CM Punk at Night of Champions? (PREVIEW)
Trent Barreta & Caylen Croft def. Vance Archer & Curt Hawkins (PHOTOS | WATCH) Two weeks ago, Trent Barreta & Caylen Croft defeated Vance Archer & Curt Hawkins on WWE Superstars. Tonight, The Dude Busters' luck was much the same as they used their cunning and agility to stop their more powerful opponents. With another big victory, Croft & Barreta move another step up the ladder in the tag division and another step closer to the WWE Tag Team Champions The Hart Dynasty.
Goldust & Gail Kim def. Primo & Jillian (PHOTOS | WATCH) Two of the NXT Rookie Divas from WWE NXT season three got a close-up view of WWE action tonight as Aksana and A.J. were at ringside during this wild bout. The WWE hopefuls may have had a hard time keeping up with the action, though, as the combatants in this match kept a furious pace. But just when it looked like Jillian & Primo were going to steal one, Goldust hit the Puerto Rican Superstar with a twisting suplex to score the win for his squad.
R-Truth def. William Regal (PHOTOS | WATCH) Before the match between R-Truth and William Regal even started, a battle broke out when The British Brawler grabbed a microphone and declared that, "Anyone can rap!" What followed was the biggest insult to hip hop music since Vanilla Ice dropped Ice Ice Baby on the world. Thankfully, R-Truth was there to shut Regals mouth.
6-foot-9 Diva rants more about her situation Posted by Roscoe De Soto on 09/10/2010 at 02:49 AM
The following is yet another blog from the official website WWE Diva Aloisia, who was recently cut from season three of WWE NXT, and has been in the news over some controversial photos from her past.
Aloisia wrote:
To say that this has been a rough week would be a huge understatement. First, my "no-talent" NXT Pro Vickie Guerrero fires me from NXT because she can't deal with the fact that I'm twice her size and not the least bit intimidated by her. I mean, did you see how she humiliated Kaitlyn on national TV last night? This is nothing against Kaitlyn...I think she's adorable, but EXCUSE ME...if Vickie had pulled that stunt with me, she would have found herself flat on her back, under my boot. Kaitlyn, you deserve better than some washed up middle-aged "Pro" who's been resting on her laurels for about the past 20 years or so.
Next, I find out that maybe the "real" reason I was fired was because of some ridiculous lingerie photo shoot I did when I was 18. Um, EXCUSE ME, but if what I did was so unforgivable then can someone please explain why my "favorite" person, VG, has a (censored) nude photo shoot posted on the WWE.com website?
As if that weren't enough, new rumors subsequently popped up on various blogs that I was fired because I was "too green" for TV or didn't have enough experience in the ring. I can't wait to find out what the next rumor will be. I feel like I'm watching myself on the Truman Show, LOL!
Anyway, I'm not here to complain. I'm actually here to thank all my fans and supporters for having my back this past week. I want all of you to know that unlike Vickie Guerrero, I'm not sitting on the couch eating potato chips and watching Days of Our Lives. In fact, I've hired a new personal trainer and I have my first session tomorrow. I may be off NXT, but I intend to use this time to get even bigger and stronger and sculpt my 6'9" body into a veritable work of art. I'll be sure to post video of my training session, you can all see how hard I'm working for you, my loyal fans.
Mark my words...I WILL be back and when I return, Vickie Guerrero, you better pack your bags and run for the hills. And Beth Phoenix, honey...I've got you in my sights as well. Every time you look in your rear view mirror, that's me you see coming up behind you. And yes, I stole that line from Mad Men
Kevin Nash went on a rampage on Twitter last night, venting about his unhappiness in TNA and saying hes leaving the company soon when his contract comes up.

Details on Vickie Guerrero's NXT Diva Posted by Roscoe De Soto on 09/08/2010 at 04:58 PM
Following Vickie Guerrero's firing of her original NXT Rookie Diva, Aloisia, the Official Consultant to Smackdown announced Kaitlyn as her replacement on Tuesday's episode of NXT.
Kaitlyn, who's real name is Celeste Bonin, is a Houston based fitness model the company signed over the summer. She began training in July and debuted shortly thereafter in Florida Championship Wrestling under the name Ricki Vaughn.
The former fitness competitor placed first in the 2007 NPC John Sherman Classic Bodybuilding, Figure And Fitness Championships. She was also Miss November in the 2008 Hardfitness Calendar.

His girlfriend called the ambulance and, we're told, he was taken to a local hospital in Clearwater, FL.
Sources tell TMZ Hogan is still in the hospital where tests are being run.
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

TNA World Tag Team Championship Match The Motor City Machine Guns (c) vs. Generation Me
The bell rings, and Jeremy and Shelley will be starting things out. Shelley takes Jeremy right down, but it's not for long as both men begin a bit of chain wrestling. Shelley ends up getting the better of Buck several times, even scoring a near fall off of a quick roll up. More chain wrestling and a quick tag to Max Buck who comes in and trades holds with Shelley. Shelley's technical prowess proves to be too much as he's able to subdue Buck and tag in Sabin. Sabin comes in and trades holds, and dropkicks with Max, before both men go nose to nose.
Max tags out quickly, and Jeremy comes in, Shelley also tagging in. Jeremy is able to get the upper hand on Shelley, and a quick tag, and a moonsault to Shelley's arm, followed by another tag and a double stomp to Shelley's arm from Jeremy.
