CINCINNATI - With just three weeks until Extreme Rules, The Man Who Loves Fight sought retribution of the "Hart," while the ECW Champion showed a lack of respect to one former champion and tremendous respect to another.
David Hart Smith def. Finlay (PHOTOS | VIDEOS) One week after David Hart Smith shocked the WWE Universe by attacking The Belfast Brawler in his match with Tyson Kidd, the son of The British Bulldog triumphed over Finlay with a devastating high-and-tight suplex. The returning Superstar achieved his edge thanks to a distraction from his fellow Hart Dungeon-trainees, Tyson Kidd & Natalya, allowing him to rattle his tough-as-nails opponent with a shot from Natalyas shoe. While warming-up for the match earlier in the evening with The Hart Trilogy, Hart Smith made the chilling statement he is better than his father ever was.
Jack Swagger attempts to commandeer the ECW ring (PHOTOS ) "The All-American American" proclaimed that ECW Champion Christian did not beat him at Judgment Day nor at Backlash, and that he wouldn't leave the squared-circle until he received justice. After ECW interim General Manager Tiffany threatened that if he didn't back down, he would never get a chance at the Extreme gold again, Swagger relented, shoving the emerging Captain Charisma off the ramp. As a result of his actions, the former ECW Champion was told to take the rest of the night off before he got in more trouble by the take-charge interim GM.

Afterward, Captain Charisma took issue with the fact that now he had beaten Jack Swagger twice, and still has unfinished business with Tommy Dreamer. He explained that while giving the ECW Original an opportunity at the Extreme title in Madison Square Garden three weeks ago, Swagger interfered, preventing a definite outcome. And with Dreamer's contract expiring in less than three weeks - and Dreamer's promise of retirement if he doesn't achieve ECW gold - Christian aimed to finish what they started rather quickly. In response, Tiffany decided to grant the champion's request, officially signing the match for "WWE Superstars" this coming Thursday.

Ohio Valley Wrestling women's wrestler Serena Deeb was the lady in the black dress standing in the hallway when Finlay was making his way to the ring for his match with David Hart Smith on last night's episode of ECW.
Deeb has appeared in TNA Wrestling in the past and holds the record for the most number of OVW Women's Championship reigns with six.
Alongside fellow OVW peer Josie (now known as Sojournor Bolt), Deeb appeared at last year's Slammiversary pay-per-view. Both Deeb and Josie took part in Awesome Kong's $25,000 Fan Challenge, but were unable to defeat Kong.
Matt Hardy appears to be hinting that his brother Jeff Hardy has signed a new contract with WWE in a new MySpace blog. Matt wrote: The deal has been reached, the contract has been signed as of May 19th, 2009.. Why? What about Matt? Im sucking it up and giving every fiber of my being for..for them. With a legitimately excruciating broken hand.. but really.. for what? Nothing really ever changes.. I hope this makes everyone happy..
Vale Anoia, sister of recently released Manu, on Randy Orton's burial of him at www.the-sun.co.uk/wrestling:
"(Randy) had no business trashing my brother in an interview. Manu was released, that's punishment enough. Randy doesn't have to go and keep digging the thorns in even deeper after the fact."

LOUISVILLE, Ky. Less than 24 hours after Judgment Day and the entire Raw roster was already looking toward Extreme Rules. Monday night saw two huge matches made for the pay-per-view, as John Cena & Batista took on WWE Champion Randy Orton and his Legacy in the main event. Things looked grim for The Animal when he was left to face the multi-generational Superstars by himself, but the tables turned on The Viper when WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair once again rushed to Batistas aide against The Legend Killer.
John Cena & Batista def. WWE Champion Randy Orton & The Legacy in a match that saw involvement from Big Show and WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair (PHOTOS | WATCH) Raws main event saw five of the brands top Superstars compete as John Cena & Batista took on WWE Champion Randy Orton and his Legacy cohorts, Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase. As the battle raged on, Big Show emerged, drawing his Extreme Rules opponent, John Cena from the ring. With his partner gone, The Animal was left alone to compete against the Superstar hell face in a Steel Cage at Extreme Rules, as well as Ortons minions.
Sorely outnumbered, Batista was the beneficiary of some well-timed assistance from WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair. The two had suffered through a minor disagreement earlier in the evening after the Nature Boy revealed his plans to call out The Viper on the next Raw, but their bond proved to be stronger than any petty squabbles, as Naitch contributed to the matchs confusion, giving Batista a chance to capitalize, spearing Orton for the win.
Vickie Guerrero def. Santina Marella to become the new Miss WrestleMania (PHOTOS | WATCH) Having received some impromptu wrestling training from her nephew Chavo, Raw General Manager Vickie Guerrero made her way to the ring to compete against Santina Marella for the title of Miss WrestleMania in her very first match. Before the match could even begin, Chavo announced that the title would be contested with no disqualifications and proceeded to attack Santina once the contest started. Things went from bad to worse for the first-ever Miss WrestleMania as William Regal emerged next, attacking the Italian Diva, and giving Vickie the opening she needed to pin her opponent and win the match, becoming the new Miss WrestleMania in the process.
United States Champion MVP def. Matt Hardy (PHOTOS | WATCH) As Matt Hardy explained earlier in the evening, Raw General Manager Vickie Guerrero not only expunged his loss to Kofi Kingston from the records, but also gave the bitter Superstar something he had been clamoring for: A United States Title Match against MVP. Though Hardy denied it, its possible that Vickies actions were done to repay the Superstar for his attack on Jeff Hardy the night before during his World Heavyweight Title Match against the Raw GMs husband, Edge. Though he had claimed in the past to have beaten MVP more than anyone, Hardy, with his broken hand, was unable to defeat The Ballin Superstar, who retained the U.S. Title.
The Miz once again called out John Cena, and claimed he is now 5-0 in spite of Jerry Lawler challenging his logic; Big Show revealed that he will face Cena again at Extreme Rules in a Submission Match (PHOTOS | WATCH) Masquerading as his rival, The Miz addressed the WWE Universe to mock and once again call out John Cena. After the former World Heavyweight Champion failed to come out following the self-proclaimed chick magnets rap belittling him, The Miz claimed another spurious victory over Cena. The arrogant Superstars claims didnt go unchallenged, however, as he was joined in the ring by WWE Hall of Famer Jerry The King Lawler. The Raw announcer pointed out the ridiculousness of Mizs claim to have a 5-0 record against Cena when the two have never fought a match to completion.
The two were then interrupted by Big Show, who had his own bone to pick with John Cena. Though the targeted Superstar claimed earlier that he was done with The Worlds Largest Athlete, Big Show revealed that the two would be colliding once again at Extreme Rules, in a match that would appear to give the 7-footer a distinct advantage: A Submission Match. When The Miz responded that Cena would simply beat Big Show again, the massive Superstar lunged for the self-asserted future World Champion, but the former reality star was too quick, shoving The King at The Worlds Largest Athlete and escaping up the ramp. Furious, Big Show latched his punishing submission maneuver on Lawler before leaving the ring.
Unified WWE Tag Team Champions Carlito & Primo def. The Brian Kendrick & Goldust (PHOTOS | WATCH) Attempting to make good on his promise the week before to find himself The tag team partner, The Brian Kendrick went to the ring with Goldust in tow, ready to compete against Unified WWE Tag Team Champions Carlito & Primo in a non-title match. Throughout the match, Kendrick berated The Bizarre One, and his criticisms only intensified after being pinned by Primo. Following the match, the cocky Superstar made moves to take out his frustrations on his partner, but was stopped by Hornswoggle, who emerged from under the ring. Returning the favor to Goldust, who protected the diminutive Superstar from Big Show on WWE Superstars, Swoggle helped his new friend attack Kendrick, chasing him from the ring.
Santino Marella def. Chavo Guerrero (PHOTOS) Spilling over from Santino Marellas recent insults directed at Vickie Guerrero and her nephew, Chavos attack on the Italian Superstar at Judgment Day, the two competitors squared off in the ring on Raw. Though the star of Santinos Casa was victorious, he received distressing news after the match: Chavo revealed that later in the evening, Santinos sister, Santina would be defending her Miss WrestleMania title against the Raw General Manager herself, Vickie Guerrero.
Raw General Manager Vickie Guerrero set WWE Champion Randy Orton & The Legacy vs. John Cena & Batista as the nights main event; Kelly Kelly won a Diva Battle Royal to earn a future Divas Championship Match (PHOTOS | WATCH) After John Cena explained that he became involved in Raws opening brouhaha as a way of showing his desire for the WWE Title, he was accosted by Vickie Guerrero. The Raw General Manager then informed the former World Heavyweight Champion that due to the fight that just took place, she had set a new main event for Raw: John Cena & Batista vs. WWE Champion Randy Orton & The Legacy.
Raw saw an awesome assemblage of sexy, smart and powerful Divas as Mickie James, Kelly Kelly, Brie Bella, Nikki Bella, Beth Phoenix, Rosa Mendes and Jillian all took to the ring for a Divas Battle Royal. The Sexiest Women on Television were especially driven as on the line was a future title match against Divas Champion Maryse, who observed the match from the announce table. As the contest came down to Mickie and Kelly, the French Canadian Diva was no longer content just to watch, and became involved, blinding Mickie with an unidentified substance, an act she referred to as an extreme makeover. By attacking the Diva who had handed her numerous defeats in recent weeks, Maryse allowed Kelly to pick up this huge victory.
Ric Flair interrupts WWE Champion Randy Orton to reveal that The Legend Killer will defend his title in a Steel Cage Match against Batista at Extreme Rules, causing a brawl to break out between Legacy, Flair, Batista and John Cena (PHOTOS) Randy Orton, still proudly holding his WWE Title after Judgment Day, opened Raw by castigating WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair for his involvement following the WWE Championship Match the night before. Not one to take a verbal attack lying down, the Nature Boy himself emerged and reminded The Legend Killer that he didnt actually beat Batista, and in fact, lost by disqualification, and thus managed to hold onto the WWE Title. Further enraging Orton, Flair revealed that he had just spoken with Raw General Manager Vickie Guerrero, and that she had decreed that The Viper would be defending his title against Batista once again at Extreme Rules, but in a Steel Cage Match to ensure a definitive outcome.
Incensed at the news Flair bore, Orton attacked the WWE Legend and called down Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase to assist in the assault. But before the rest of Legacy could make it to the ring, they were intercepted by Batista. As the multi-generational Superstars began to get the upper hand on Naitch and The Animal, John Cena emerged from the locker room area and helped clear the ring of the devious Legacy members.
The following is the final line-up for this Sunday's TNA Sacrifice pay-per view event from Orlando, Florida:
Ultimate Sacrifice Bout: -Mick Foley vs. Kurt Angle vs. Sting vs. Jeff Jarrett
(If Foley loses, he loses TNA title. If Angle loses, he gives up leadership of the Main Event Mafia. If Sting loses, he retires. If Jarrett loses, he gives up his spot in TNA Management.)
"I Quit" Match: (TNA Legends Title) -AJ Styles (c) vs. Booker T
TNA Knockout Title: -Angelina Love (c) vs. Awesome Kong
Typical to the new "PG" rating, there are a lot of kids here for the show.
Due to space constraints, they aren't using the typical video cylinder tower on the side of the stage.
Lot's of "Whoo" chants started in the crowd.
They show the "Shoot To Thrill" video package for Wrestlemania 25. Randy Orton got killer heat when shown.
Sheamus O'Shaunnessy from FCW is out first. He grabs a mic and says he is from Ireland and cuts a heel promo and gets good heat. There is a "USA" chant. Jamie Noble is his opponent. The Superstars graphics are up, but I'm sure this is a dark match. Sheamus wins with what looked like a modified Rock Bottom.
The place looks to be a near sellout.
Cut away to USA network followed by Lillian singing the national anthem.
- Thursdays episode of WWE Superstars on WGN America garnered its highest rating to date, a 0.97 cable rating. Therefore, the show beat ECW last week, which drew a less than stellar 0.93 cable rating. The show was headlined by Hornswoggle vs. Big Show.
Sweet Papi Sanchez and Kafu defeats Dylan Klein and Troy Jackman Ricky Ortiz defeats Trent Baretta w/ Caylen Croft Agent D defeats Johnny Prime Drew Mcintire (fcw champion) defeats Sheamus O' Shaunessy for the fcw championship
It's interesting to note that there has only been two Diva-related matches on pay-per-view within the last six pay-per-views. Even more alarming, only one title defense has taken place within the last eight pay-per-views. There is a reason for this as Vince McMahon is said to be down on the women's division at the moment, reports The Sun. There have been a number of sloppy matches on television of late, which likely played a factor on his outlook.
It looks like TNA plans to continue using Mr. Kippin It Real Kip James after making his return on Impact last week. Kip James has been pulled from an indy booking for VPW in the UK on May 26th due to TNA requiring him to be available for the TV tapings that night. He was supposed to be the UK Kids opponent, but Bob Holly will take his place. A funny-but-true quote from Kip on the issue: The UK Kid is gonna be wishing he was in the ring with me when Bobs finished with him.
Last weeks episode of TNA Impact averaged a 1.23 rating, which was up 3.5% from last weeks 1.19. The ratings increase came as a surprise to many since the show was head-to-head against the most-watched NBA game ever on ESPN between the Rockets and Lakers. Additionally, the second hour of the show averaged a 1.32 rating, compared a 1.15 for last weeks second hour. Awesome Kong vs. Kip James was the highest rated match with a 1.37 in the fifth quarter-hour, which also featured a Scott Steiner segment, making this his fifth time in the last six weeks being in the highest rated quarter-hour.
- If you missed it in the Judgment Day report, Ric Flair made his return to programming at tonights pay-per-view helping out Batista when Legacy attacked at the end of his match with Randy Orton.
- The dark match before tonights show saw Mickie James defeat Beth Phoenix in a match where Rosa Mendez tried to interfere.
World Heavyweight Champion Edge def. Jeff Hardy Batista def. WWE Champion Randy Orton by disqualification John Cena def. Big Show Intercontinental Champion Rey Mysterio def. Chris Jericho ECW Champion Christian def. Jack Swagger Umaga def. CM Punk John Morrison def. Shelton Benjamin
In an interesting trivia note, this week in 1999 WWF RAW held the most-watched wrestling match in history. On May 10, 1999, The Undertaker & HHH & Shane McMahon vs. Steve Austin & The Rock & Vince in a six-man tag, with Shawn Michaels as the referee, scored a 9.2 cable rating. The overall rating for the entire show was 8.1. As previously noted, this week's episode of RAW did a 3.3 rating.
- Sheamus O'Shaunessy is once again on the road with WWE this weekend. He worked a live event last night, beating Jimmy Wang Yang. As expected, his ring name has been changed. He was introduced as "Davis" at last night's show.

Finally, Intercontinental Champion Rey Mysterio stormed into the arena to attack Jericho and make his own statement just hours before Judgment Day.
Whos really in charge? (PHOTOS | VIDEO) At the start of the night, Edge and Chris Jericho traded words over who really runs SmackDown. After stating hes been given a raw deal on Friday nights, Jericho looked out across the WWE Universe and claimed a conspiracy has been orchestrated and perpetrated by all of you fraudulent, gelatinous parasitic tapeworms. But, SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long cleared the air and let everyone know whos really in charge the WWE Universe! Next, the GM announced Edge and Jericho would square off in the main event.

Tonight, after defeating Yang, Ziggler was confronted by The Great Khali, who was out for revenge. In one fell swoop, The Punjabi Giant lifted Ziggler up and over the top rope with one hand and tossed him out onto the arena floor. The big 7-footer then chased Ziggler out of the arena. Ziggler can run, but can he hide forever from the massive giant?
R-Truth def. Mike Knox (PHOTOS) Using his quickness and athleticism, R-Truth was able to down formidable foe Mike Knox using a corkscrew elbow.
Womens Champion Melina & Gail Kim def. Michelle McCool & Alicia Fox (PHOTOS) In recent weeks, Gail Kim and Michelle McCool have traded wins in singles competition.
