Rey Mysterio def. Unified Tag Team Champion Chris Jericho WWE Women's Champion Michelle McCool def. Eve WWE Intercontinental Champion John Morrison def. Dolph Ziggler Drew McIntyre & Kane def. R-Truth & Matt Hardy CM Punk def. Batista by Count-out
TRENTON, N.J. - With Hell in a Cell behind the WWE Universe and WWE Bragging Rights rapidly approaching, several of SmackDowns fierce competitors showcased exactly what they have to brag about. But, it was the announcement of a monumental pay-per-view match that inspired three Superstars, while stacking the odds against The Phenom holding the World Heavyweight Title.
CM Punk def. Batista by Count-out (PHOTOS | WATCH) Bitter about losing the World Heavyweight Championship to The Undertaker, CM Punk was disgusted to not hear SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long announce an automatic title rematch. It appeared, however, The Straightedge Superstar would get his wish when Mr. McMahon arrived. Not exactly.
After expressing some displeasure with Teddy Long that seemed to suggest his opinion that the GM is continuing to provoke the World Heavyweight Champ, the WWE Chairman told Punk he will have the opportunity to reclaim the gold at WWE Bragging Rights. But, The Second City Saint wont be the only one to have a chance. Mr. McMahon introduced a Fatal-4-Way Match for the title that will require The Deadman to defend his championship against Punk, Rey Mysterio and Batista. (PHOTOS)
The night didnt get any easier for Punk as he had to deal with The Animal in the main event. Despite outsmarting Batista to win by count-out, the former three-time World Heavyweight Champion couldnt escape a bone-crushing Batista Bomb after the match had ended. Was this a sign of things to come for Punk? Or will he be the one celebrating with the title at WWE Bragging Rights? (PREVIEW)
Rey Mysterio def. Chris Jericho (PHOTOS | WATCH) Ecstatic over the opportunity to capture the World Title at WWE Bragging Rights, Rey Mysterio utilized that motivation to get some payback from what transpired at Hell in a Cell when he and Batista lost to Big Show & Chris Jericho for the Unified Tag Team Championship. The masked wonder escaped the Walls of Jericho and dialed up the 619 for the impressive victory.
Womens Champion Michelle McCool def. Eve Torres (PHOTOS | WATCH) Last week on the Decade of SmackDown special, Womens Champion Michelle McCool used some assistance from Beth Phoenix to retain the gold against Melina in a Divas Lumberjack Match. The smart, sexy and powerful champion didnt require support against Eve this week as a wicked kick to the jaw ended her opponents night in a flash.
Intercontinental Champion John Morrison def. Dolph Ziggler (PHOTOS | WATCH) Intercontinental Champion John Morrison may want to thank SmackDown Diva Maria for her choice of rest. In a rematch from Hell in a Cell, The Guru of Greatness retained his title after Dolph Zigglers plan of attack didnt go as planned. The beach blonde Superstar placed a steel chair next to the ring, but Maria decided to use it to sit down. The Shaman of Sexy took full advantage of Ziggler and Marias disorder as he performed the Flying Chuck kick to seal the deal. Afterwards, Ziggler was so upset with the Diva that he ended their personal relationship. (WATCH)
Drew McIntyre & Kane def. R-Truth & Matt Hardy (PHOTOS | WATCH) Drew McIntyre & Kane looked extremely impressive in their first tag team action together as they stomped on R-Truth and Matt Hardy. McIntyre, who was personally signed to the SmackDown roster by Mr. McMahon, finished the match with a Double Underhook DDT on Hardy.
World Heavyweight Champion The Undertaker fears no one (PHOTOS | WATCH) The Undertaker addressed the WWE Universe for the first time since winning his seventh World Championship. The Deadman declared that CM Punk escaped Hell in a Cell in one piece, but that he will claim his soul at WWE Bragging Rights. The Phenom also stated that Batistas strength and rage will not be enough to save him, and that despite his legendary heart and courage, Mysterio will not be granted any mercy.
- Ring announcer Justin Roberts' profile has been moved from the Smackdown section to the RAW section. Roberts took over the ring announcing duties for Monday Night Raw last week as a result of Lilian Garcia's departure from the company.
- After suffering a knee injury at a live event last month, Kelly Kelly noted on her Twitter account that she returned to the gym this week. She returned to action this past Monday on RAW after a four-week hiatus.
No Way Out PPV name officially changed Posted by Chris Kaufman on 10/09/2009 at 01:14 PM
Thanks to Devin Cutting for the following:
WWE has changed the name of it's February pay-per-view to the Elimination Chamber, according to the Upcoming Pay-Per-Views list on WWE.com. The original name was No Way Out.
During an interview with the UK Sun this week to promote his new movie Damage, WWE Hall of Famer Steve Austin says hes spoken to former WWE superstar Jeff Hardy about his ongoing issues, but you can only do so much to help another person.
I called him a while back and talked to him, he said. Hes a good looking kid, hes got a really unique style, people love him, he has his own kind of charisma. I wish he could put it all together and get his personal demons behind him. He got caught with a lot of stuff and well see what happens.
Austin said hes reached out to other WWE superstars when he they were having issues with drug addiction.
Ive called a few guys when I hear some of them getting into problems, he said. I try to give my two cents to the situation. Theyll all swear that everything is cool, it turns out things arent cool. [Vince McMahon] has offered to pay for rehab for anybody who wants it. Some people have taken him up on it, some people havent. I get made when people point the finger at Vince and say its his fault. Its not his fault. Hes a third generation promoter who runs a wrestling company. I take responsibility for all my actions. I think everybody should. I refuse to think that its Vince McMahons fault for any of this.
He said Jeff Hardy has a unique situation for WWE. One hand hand, hes one of the most charismatic and popular superstars on the roster, but theres such a risk of him screwing up that theyve never been able to fully get behind him.
Man. This last thing I just heard about the other day when I was driving back from Texas to L.A., he said. They never gave that guy a full green light push, but you cant keep him down. All the calamity and trouble he gets into, but people love him. If they ever fully gave him a green light push, who knows what would happen? But you cant do that because you dont know what hes going to do because all of a sudden you have all of this time and money invested and then he screws up. So who knows whats going to come out of it, if hes going to do time or whatever. He has some serious stuff going against him.

Former WWE superstar Ken "Mr. Kennedy" Anderson is the new World Champion for the Nu Wrestling Evolution promotion. He won the title at a live event in Malta on October 2nd, after defeating former WWE superstar Chuck Palumbo & Tiny Iron in a three way match.
Former TNA creative team member Dutch Mantel has posted a blog this week where he talks about working with The Undertaker before he became a star. Mantel wrote on TheWorldAccordingToDutch.blogspot.com:
"When I first became acquainted with Mark, he was the complete opposite of what he is today. His hair was cropped short and he had no tattoos. When I first laid eyes on him, he actually looked too clean cut to be a wrestler. Today, he is a walking tat advert. He turned out to be a great guy and for a man his size, he moved like silk"
He continued, "At first glance, Mark had all the physical tools to succeed in the pro wrestling business. He had the size, the look and the raw talent to be a HUGE star. His next hurdle he would face would be to decide if he possessed the temperament to succeed. Over the next several months, I got to know Mark Calaway's temperament very well and he passed the test."
Ted DiBiase def. Evan Bourne Shelton Benjamin def. Sheamus by Disqualification Cryme Tyme def. The Hart Dynasty
WWE Superstars on WGN America saw a surplus of electrifying in-ring action on Thursday. With Superstars such as Evan Bourne, Sheamus and Cryme Tyme in competition, the night offered the WWE Universe a chance to see several of WWEs rising sensations and fan favorites.

Cryme Tyme def. The Hart Dynasty (PHOTOS | WATCH) It was a sweet homecoming for The Hart Dynasty when they returned to their Canadian roots and defeated Cryme Tyme last month in tag team action on SmackDown in Ontario. On WWE Superstars, however, it was Shad & JTGs turn to flourish near their hometown.
Not too far from Brooklyn N.Y., where the two superstars originate from, Shad & JTG merited a triumph over David Hart Smith & Tyson Kidd, thanks to some help from Eve. The Diva diverted Smith, allowing Shad to apply Thugnificent and followed it up with the pin. Although the win gave Cryme Tyme the upper-hand in this ongoing rivalry, The Hart Dynasty has shown they are extremely resilient and will no doubt seek retribution.
Shelton Benjamin def. Sheamus by Disqualification (PHOTOS | WATCH) It was clear Sheamus goal was to inflict as much pain on Shelton Benjamin as possible during their highly-anticipated match on WWE Superstars. After interfering in The Gold Standards eventual triumph over Paul Burchill on ECW on Syfy last week and injuring Benjamins left shoulder, The Celtic Warrior did not decelerate. Despite being disqualified for not following the referees several warnings, Sheamus continued to attack Benjamin, and left the WWE Universe wondering how this rivalry will continue Tuesdays on ECW.
Ted DiBiase def. Evan Bourne (PHOTOS | WATCH) Evan Bourne couldnt have asked for a worse time to square off against Ted DiBiase. Last Sunday at Hell in a Cell, The Legacy suffered a vicious defeat to DX inside the 20-foot-tall steel structure. Cody Rhodes was ultimately carried out of the arena on a stretcher, and on WWE Superstars, DiBiase, as a result, took his frustrations out on his opponent. Following a special dedication to his injured tag team partner, DiBiase dismantled Air Bourne with a series of punishing moves, including a devastating Dream Street for the victory.
The Wrestling Observer is reporting that Umaga has claimed that he will be returning to WWE. He was scheduled to participate in a shoot interview in the near future, however he has since backed out claiming that he is returning to WWE and therefore cannot do the interview. It should be noted, however, that he may have just used the WWE return excuse as a way of getting out of the interview if he simply changed his mind and didn't want to do it. We will have more on this developing story as it becomes available.
Apparently WWE is planning on introducing a new Heavyweight belt to television soon and perhaps some other belts will be changed as well. Not much else is known on this but it's possible that that one of the top title belts gets a new look.
I just got back from the live Raw in Wilkes Barre, PA and thought I'd send along some notes.
Dark Match: -Jamie Noble beat Heath Slater with a sunset flip.
Superstars: -Ted DiBiasi beat Evan Bourne with Dreamstreet.
Post Show:
DX and the Steelers celebrated at ringside with the fans. Did a lot of hand shaking and posing but that was all. Justin Roberts wished us goodnight.
Not a ton of stuff happened but it was a very fun show. I've been to every WWE show in this arena since they started coming in 2002 and this was among the best shows live. No real dull spots and the crowd was very into it. Can't speak for the rest of the country but our crowds were always filled with backwards nostalgic Attitude era fans (lots of old Austin/nWo/Rock shirts, "what" chants, etc.) but tonight was almost all kids with their parents and fans who seemed really into today's product, which was nice to see.
A kid got hurt going for Cena's cap. I didn't see the injury happen but I was told he tried running down from the 100 level to ringside to get it, tripped, and fell down the stairs. He had to be stretchered out during the Swagger/Primo match.
Biggest pops: --Cena --DX --Jeff Hardy in the video packages
Biggest heat: --Ben Roethlisberger's introduction (didn't get booed again after his first time out) --The Miz --CM Punk on video packages (maybe the crowd didn't like the way he was dressed.) --Orton and JeriShow also got great heat from the fans you'd expect to boo them but they also got a good amount of both "we're cool and cheer heels" cheers and "we know you're a bad guy but you're also a big star so yay that you're in our hick town" reactions.
As we noted, CM PUNK has some heat with management due to an incident on the recent European tour.
According to sources, there was apparently an issue on Punk's dress code during the tour. The story goes that at one point Undertaker pulled him aside and explained that he's the World champion and representing the WWE brand and name overseas, so he should dress better. Punk reportedly said something along the lines of "what about John Cena?" which wasn't taken very well.
Thanks to Agahzi & ProWrestling.net for the following:
Good crowd on hand. I'm happy WWE is finally doing shows in Newark. The arena is gorgeous. The crowd was very into Randy Orton. There was a huge pop when he pinned John Cena. When Cena walked out after the match, he was booed.
Also, huge pop for Jerishow winning. There were a decent amount of boos for Batista's offense.
During the main event, there was a small "get the hammer" chant for Triple H. The crowd wanted to be into it but it was paced so slow with Shawn Michaels taking a beating the whole time. After the match, DX went around ringside and shook hands and signed a fee autographs. Ted DiBiase got up and flipped out as Cody Rhodes was stretchered out. That was pretty much it.
Oh yeah, that was me screaming during Mickie James's match. We won!
- Things don't get easier for Lacey Von Erich in TNA. After being reprimanded for her comments toward Angelina Love, Von Erich suffered an embrassing moment during this week's TNA Impact tapings in Orlando, Florida. During the Knockouts elimination match, Von Erich made a run-in but tripped on her way down, which got a big laugh from fans who are attending the television taping.
There was an incident prior to the main event where Scott Steiner tore up a Swiss flag for cheap heat causing fans to toss beer cans at the ringside area, and one fan even tossed a plastic chair, which Steiner violently launched back into the crowd. Booker T and Sharmell then stormed backstage leading to Bashir replacing Booker in the match.
WWE recently signed a Lithuanian fitness model by the name of Zivile Raudoniene to a developmental contract. Raudoniene spoke out on her WWE experience thus far in a video interview with www.rxmuscle.com. The 27-year old said she is training at WWE's developmental facility in Tampa.
