WWE Champion Randy Orton & John Cena def. Unified Tag Team Champions Chris Jericho & Big Show

ST. LOUIS - Temperatures are seriously scorching with just six days left until the hottest happening this side of WrestleMania. That’s right, we’re talkin’ SummerSlam. In the run-up to the boiling brawl, Raw celebrity guest host Freddie Prinze Jr., turned up the oven and ripped off the knob.

The summer humidity outside may have hung heavy in the Missouri air, but the tension inside was almost thick enough to choke on. As Unified Tag Team Champions Chris Jericho & Big Show sized up their opponents, WWE Champion Randy Orton & John Cena, The Viper and Cena were busy sizing up each other. And who could blame them?

Although Cena and Orton harbored obvious distrust, the WWE Universe voiced their opinion on WWE e-Vote, affirming that they felt the two would still manage to squeeze out a victory.

To add to the intrigue, Prinze Jr., bravely returned to establish the tag team bout as a Lumberjack Match with the ring surrounded by his handpicked Superstars, all with a suspicious eye on Orton.

Not only do Orton and Cena have a laundry list of complaints about one another, they’re set to square off in six days at SummerSlam. With a weary eye on their “partner,” both Orton and Cena tried to fend off the sizable challenge of their tag team tormentors. In the end, it was Cena who captured the victory for his team by pinning Jericho. True to form, however, The Viper RKO'd his partner to show his gratitude. As if to prove his mettle, Cena not only rebounded, he also tossed both Jericho and Big Show out of the ring.

Floyd “Money” Mayweather to host next week’s Raw (WATCH)
The WWE Universe will remember Floyd “Money” Mayweather as the man who bloodied Big Show’s nose and defeated The World’s Largest Athlete at WrestleMania XXIV. Now they’ll also know him as Raw’s celebrity guest host one day after SummerSlam. Tune in Monday night to watch the boxing great take control.

Hornswoggle def. Chavo Guerrero (PHOTOS | WATCH)
Oh, Chavo. Losing to a 4-foot-4-inch leprechaun seems to be taking its toll. This week, Guerrero found himself “facing” Hornswoggle, this time in a Falls Count Anywhere Match. The sly ‘Swoggle fled the ring early, heading toward the locker room area of the Scottrade Center. With Chavo in pursuit, Hornswoggle locked himself in a room. When Chavo finally opened the door, a can of paint swung down, knocking him unconscious, enabling Hornswoggle to score the victory. When he finally came to, he discovered that ‘Swoggle wasn’t to blame. Actually, the culprit appeared to be Prinze’s pal, Macaulay Culkin!

MVP def. Jack Swagger by disqualification (PHOTOS | WATCH)
Montel Vontavious Porter; the name alone seems like a lot to handle. And now Jack Swagger finds himself forced to handle more than just a name. After weeks of trading barbs, last week “The All-American American” underhandedly attacked MVP after his match against Chris Masters. This week, however, The Franchise Playa came prepared. MVP put in a solid effort against Swagger until the arrogant American refused to yield to the referee after displaying relentless aggression to get disqualified.

Divas Champion Mickie James def. Gail Kim (PHOTOS)
Having teamed with Divas Champion Mickie James just two weeks prior, Gail Kim found herself facing down the sporty stunner for the title. While Kim’s efforts were impressive as usual, Mickie proved too powerful for the No. 1 contender and emerged with her title intact.

DX returned to Raw; The Legacy attacked (PHOTOS | WATCH)
After months of seclusion, Shawn Michaels finally made his climactic return to D-Generation X and Monday Night Raw, much to the thrill of the WWE Universe. Any celebration, however, would prove short-lived. As Michaels and partner Triple H addressed the crowd, their SummerSlam opponents, The Legacy, attacked DX from behind. Then it was Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase’s turn at the microphone. They informed the stunned crowd that yes, they ARE ready.

The Miz def. Evan Bourne (PHOTOS | WATCH)
The Miz swears up and down that he’s, well, awesome! And now, he’s out to prove it. After getting banned from Raw two weeks ago, the self-important Superstar earned his way back on the program by defeating Eugene in a WWE Contract-on-a-Pole Match. Now, he claims he will become United States Champion and started by facing off against Evan Bourne. Despite the unpredictable nature of “Air” Bourne, Miz grounded the high-flyer for the victory.

United States Champion Kofi Kingston def. Carlito (PHOTOS | WATCH)
Before succumbing to Randy Orton’s rage, Raw celebrity guest host Freddie Prinze Jr., arranged for United States Champion Kofi Kingston to defend his title against Carlito. The Caribbean quarrel pitted the jumping Jamaican against a Superstar who lately has shown little respect for anything or anyone, even his brother. A crowd favorite, Kingston managed to overcome the Boriqua Brother to avoid any trouble in paradise.

As the star of such movies as I Know What You Did Last Summer and She’s All That as well as the upcoming season of Fox’s 24, Prinze greeted the enthusiastic crowd in the Scottrade Center and fielded an impromptu acting audition from Santino Marella before being confronted by WWE Champion Randy Orton. The Viper appeared more than a little ticked at the prospect of having to pair with SummerSlam opponent John Cena against Unified Tag Team Champions Chris Jericho & Big Show and not the least bit shy about letting Prinze Jr. know it.

The actor and lifelong WWE fan, however, refused to back down, which seemed only to provoke the erratic Orton and prompted an attack that left Prinze Jr., immobile on the canvas. The actor was subsequently taken to a local medical facility for observation.

John Morrison def. David Hart Smith
Goldust def. Sheamus
Carlito & Rosa Mendes def. United States Champion Kofi Kingston & Divas Champion Mickie James

With “WWE Superstars” on WGN American emanating from Canada, things were certain to be big, and an explosive main event teaming the United States Champion Kofi Kingston & Divas Champion Mickie James against Carlito & Rosa Mendes definitely delivered. Add in a homecoming for Canada natives Natalya and David Hart Smith with the latter taking on John Morrison, and a heated battle between ECW Superstars Sheamus and Goldust, this may have been the most explosive edition of “WWE Superstars” to date.

John Morrison def. David Hart Smith (PHOTOS | WATCH)
Just 24-hours before facing CM Punk on SmackDown, The Friday Night Delight defeated the impressive David Hart Smith, which wasn’t what Natalya wanted to see happen in Smith’s homecoming match. At many times in the match, the Hart Dynasty member seemed just half a second from walking away the victor, but in the end, Morrison proved he wanted it more. After having already countered one Starship Pain, Smith fell to a second and the ensuing three-count did not please the Canadian fans in attendance.

Goldust def. Sheamus (PHOTOS | WATCH)
It may seem that The Bizarre One used his experience to claim victory over The Celtic Warrior, but we think Sheamus would say otherwise. The saying goes that the Irish have bad luck if any luck at all, and after a match that seemed to be firmly in The Celtic Warrior’s grasp slipped away due to an inside cradle, there’s no doubt that the native son of the Eire would agree. Goldust may have won this round, but we don’t think things are over between these two by a long shot.

Carlito & Rosa Mendes def. United States Champion Kofi Kingston & Divas Champion Mickie James (PHOTOS | WATCH)
In a huge upset, The Caribbean Superstar pinned the United States Champion giving him and Rosa Mendes the victory. A win over any champion is a big one, and even though things weren’t looking good for Carlito, he made the right move at the right time dodging one of Kingston’s high-flying maneuvers and reversing it with a Backstabber. Oddly enough, The Jamaican Superstar and Mickie James weren’t the only ones to leave the ring with a sullen attitude. Despite securing victory for his team, The Caribbean Superstar retained the same bad attitude with which he initially entered the ring.

EDMONTON, Alberta, Canada – ECW Champion Christian learned the future of his fate on Tuesday night in front of a crowd full of his Peeps. The new No. 1 Contender to Captain Charisma’s ECW Championship is none other than William Regal.

An announcement on “The Abraham Washington Show” (PHOTOS | WATCH)
Two-time ECW Champion Christian was the special guest on “The Abraham Washington Show” Tuesday night. After Washington played clips from Christian’s Extreme Rules Title defense against Tommy Dreamer from last week’s ECW on Syfy, Christian assured Washington that while their match was grueling, he and the ECW Original are indeed still friends. Captain Charisma also said he’s ready for every challenge coming his way.

“I am ready to be the face of this brand. I am ready to be the man here in ECW,” Christian claimed.

The bombastic talk show host was ready to deliver that next challenge to the ECW Champion, introducing the No. 1 Contender to the Extreme title, William Regal.

“If you think what you did last week was Extreme, you haven’t seen anything yet, sunshine,” Regal threatened Christian.

The Englishman continued his speech to Christian, claiming his countrymen are known for being barbaric, and if the ECW Champion didn’t believe him, he should just watch what he had planned next for his friend, Tommy Dreamer.

William Regal def. Tommy Dreamer (PHOTOS | WATCH)
After Washington announced Regal is the No. 1 Contender to the ECW Championship, The British Brawler faced off against Tommy Dreamer. Still ailing from the brutal Extreme Rules ECW Title Match he competed in the week before, Dreamer fell to the ruthless Regal, who focused on the ECW Original’s wounded left arm. Even after his win, Regal continued his attack with the Regal Stretch on Dreamer, until ECW Champion Christian emerged to chase Regal from the ring and help his friend, Dreamer. But will 2008 King of the Ring winner Regal have what it takes to defeat ECW Champion Christian in the future?

Shelton Benjamin def. Zack Ryder (PHOTOS | WATCH)
Last week’s “Abraham Washington Show” exploded into couch-flipping chaos when Zack Ryder and Shelton Benjamin argued about who was the more entertaining Superstar, and Ryder took a cheap shot at Benjamin. This week, Benjamin got retribution against the cocky, brash Long Islander when The Gold Standard hit Paydirt on Ryder for the victory. But is this the last the WWE Universe has seen of the rivalry between these two skilled ECW Superstars?

An attack on Gregory Helms (WATCH)
Before his match against Yoshi Tatsu, Paul Burchill attacked Gregory Helms backstage, accusing him of being the Hurricane.

“Why don’t you run along and put your Underoos back on and let the grown ups speak?” Burchill taunted, and then attacked Helms, knocking him to the ground.

Yoshi Tatsu def. Paul Burchill (Disqualification) (PHOTOS | WATCH)
After an introduction by ECW’s newest Divas, Nikki and Brie Bella, Yoshi Tatsu faced off against Paul Burchill. But Burchill’s devious sister, Katie Lea, interfered in the match, causing Tatsu to win by disqualification. After the match, Paul Burchill continued his assault on the Japanese Superstar until Hurricane appeared. The masked Superstar climbed to the top rope and leaped toward a stunned Burchill, as Tatsu looked on in shock. Now that Hurricane has returned to the Land of the Extreme, what will this mysterious Superstar do next?

Vladimir Kozlov def. local competitor (PHOTOS | WATCH)
The Moscow Mauler inflicted his brutal form of punishment against another local competitor this week on ECW. After Kozlov’s Iron Curtain descended upon his opponent to end the match, Ezekiel Jackson emerged and also attacked Kozlov’s prey, prompting another staredown between Jackson and Kozlov. Not to be outdone in the game of one-upmanship, the Sambo master picked up the local competitor and hit him again with his finisher, and exited the ring without looking back. When will these two Superstars finally clash in the Land of the Extreme?

Tyler Reks def. local competitor (PHOTOS | WATCH)
Tyler Reks, who arrived on ECW as part of the New Superstar Initiative, returned to action in the Land of the Extreme this week. The Laguna Beach, Calif., native has come to Tuesday nights to prove he’s not just a laid back, surfer dude, and after his victory this week over a local competitor with a Springboard Missile Dropkick, he’s proving that.

CALGARY, Alberta  - It’s been a long, sweltering summer, especially for the Superstars of Monday Night Raw. And while making a run for the border of Canada might seem like just the way to cool off, having Sgt. Slaughter as Raw’s special guest host certainly kept the heat on.

Also, in tribute to tonight's special guest host, WWE.com has handed over WWE e-Vote to ask the following question: Who did tonight's Hall of Fame guest host, Sgt. Slaughter, defeat to capture his first WWE Championship? Randy Savage, Ultimate Warrior or Hulk Hogan? Results...

John Cena def. Chris Jericho by disqualification (PHOTOS | WATCH)
Perhaps hoping to boost his standing with his fellow Canucks, Chris Jericho wanted to accomplish something in front of them he’d never done before; defeat John Cena. Well, that quest went about as far as a moose on a motorcycle. As one half of the Unified Tag Team Champions, Jericho certainly held his own against Cena. Unfortunately for him, though, Randy Orton wanted to send a message to his SummerSlam opponent and interfered in the bout by attacking Jericho. The intrusion triggered an immediate disqualification and also prompted Big Show to rush to the ring to chokeslam Orton, leaving both he and Cena lying on the canvas.

The pandemonium led Raw guest host Sgt. Slaughter to interrupt the proceedings to announce that next week, not only will Freddie Prinze Jr. act as Raw’s celebrity guest host, Cena & Orton must combine forces to face Show & Jericho. As if to demonstrate their uneasy alliance, Cena & Orton immediately joined together to collar The World’s Largest Athlete and send him over the ropes. The cooperation was quickly followed by looks of apprehension on the faces of both Superstars. Will these two really be able to bury their animosity and work as a team on the next edition of Raw?

The Legacy def. Mark Henry & Hornswoggle (PHOTOS | WATCH)
Chavo Guerrero didn’t seem like he wanted to press his luck. In the wake of his pathetic losing streak to Hornswoggle, the self-proclaimed “Mexican Warrior” decided to forgo a tag team match against ‘Swoggle & Mark Henry. Instead, Guerrero chose to substitute The Legacy. While it was nothing to be proud of, Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase did manage to secure the win thanks to a pin on the little leprechaun. Feeling confident, the second-generation Superstars then addressed DX, saying they were definitely ready to face down the legendary twosome.

Triple H tracked down Shawn Michaels; DX to battle The Legacy at SummerSlam (WATCH: PART 1 |   PART 2 | PART 3)
Regeneration X? There had been no sign of Shawn Michaels ever since his loss to Undertaker at the 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania in an epic match. Finally, however, Triple H managed to track down the elusive Superstar … in a corporate cafeteria? That’s right. It appears HBK had decided to go underground, working as a cook, when his former DX partner pleaded with him to reform DX and compete against The Legacy at SummerSlam. To The Game’s relief, and the WWE Universe’s delight, Michaels agreed.

MVP def. Chris Masters (PHOTOS | WATCH)
After getting in the face of Jack Swagger earlier in the night, MVP’s adrenaline must have been pumping when he faced Chris Masters one-on-one. Montel Vontavious Porter managed to capitalize on his quickness and athleticism, handing Masters a loss. Any celebration got cut short, though, when Swagger came to the ring. As MVP faced him, Masters locked in The Master Lock. That’s when Swagger decided to act and pummeled a weary MVP, leaving him hurt in the middle of the canvas.

Unified Tag Team Champion Big Show def. WWE Champion Randy Orton by count-out (PHOTOS | WATCH)
Randy Orton may be conniving, devious and underhanded, but he’s no dummy. The WWE Champion had been scheduled to battle Big Show in one of the night’s two main events. The Viper, however, thought better of facing off against The World’s Largest Athlete and risk injury with less than two weeks until one of the most important matches of his career against John Cena at SummerSlam. Instead, after suffering a beating at the meaty paws of Show, Orton, in a calculated move, exited the ring and walked off, allowing the angered giant the victory by count-out.

“Calgary Kid” (The Miz) def. Eugene; The Miz earned reinstatement to Raw (PHOTOS | WATCH)
It looked like it was over for The Miz. Last week, the brash braggart lost to John Cena and found himself banned from Monday Night Raw for good. Well, heee’s baaaccckkk! The scheming Superstar, calling himself “Calgary Kid,” donned a mask and fought Eugene in a WWE Contract-on-a-Pole Match for the right to become the newest official member of Monday Night Raw. After prevailing, Miz ripped off his mask to reveal his true identity.

Jack Swagger def. Evan Bourne (PHOTOS | WATCH)
In the tug-of-war that has ensued over the past two weeks between Jack Swagger and Evan Bourne, “The All-American American” pulled his adversary over the line. After splitting one victory apiece, Swagger came up big to win the tie-breaker. Before he could revel in his arrogance, however, MVP challenged Swagger to a fight. “The All-American American” deferred, saying that maybe he would battle The Ballin’ Superstar next week. MVP pushed him on his derriere before Swagger slid from the ring.

Gail Kim def. Kelly Kelly, Beth Phoenix and Alicia Fox in Divas Four Way Match (PHOTOS | WATCH)
Call it home country advantage. When Canadian Gail Kim faced off against Kelly Kelly, Beth Phoenix and Alicia Fox in a Diva Four Way Match, with the winner earning the right to face Divas Champion Mickie James in a title match, the odds were not in her favor. However, anyone who has witnessed the Korean beauty in the ring knows that she has never let the odds mean her end. After overcoming the size and strength advantage of her opponents, Kim emerged victorious and now sets her sights on Mickie and the Divas Title.

Raw special guest host Sgt. Slaughter arranged two main event matches: Big Show vs. Randy Orton and Chris Jericho vs. John Cena (PHOTOS)
WWE Champion Randy Orton tried on his professor’s cap when Monday Night Raw touched down in the Great White North. Orton confronted his SummerSlam opponent, John Cena, with a little history lesson. Namely, The Viper reminded Cena how he had defeated him in a Triple Threat Match at WrestleMania XXV and, more recently, at Night of Champions.

For his part, Cena proved no teacher’s pet. The former Champ exchanged pointed words with Orton until they were interrupted by the Unified Tag Team Champions, Chris Jericho & Big Show. The two bragged about how they had convinced Raw’s guest host, Sgt. Slaughter, to arrange two main event matches: Big Show vs. Orton and Chris Jericho vs. John Cena.
