- The recent reports that Vince McMahon has banned "Ric Flair chops" are almost true. Sources say that the chops were actually banned after Shawn Michaels retired and before that, they were banned for everyone except for Michaels. McMahon does have a problem with the "Whooo" reactions that the chops get from fans. Yoshi Tatsu, who may not have gotten the word, did the Flair chops before RAW in Nashville this week and they got the same reaction from fans.

Carlito talks about not being happy in WWE
Posted by Roscoe De Soto on 07/06/2010 at 09:31 PM

Thanks to Mike Aldren of the Wrestling Globe Newsletter for the following recap:

Carlito did an interview with Arda Ocal on the Right After Wrestling radio show. He talked about suffering from depression blamed on being miserable while working for WWE mostly during the past three years. He said he had no qualms about his release because he had asked repeatedly to be let go for a long time. He said he was frustrated creatively and felt he was held back because he spoke his mind and didn't play politics. He said he loves the business and still has a passion for it, but working here drained that passion out of him. He noted that he's looking forward to working some upcoming indy shows and having fun again. He said he wants to apologise to anyone he may have upset over the past three years because he was in a dark place in his life.

Before the big tag match in the second hour with Chris Jericho & Edge vs. Randy Orton & Evan Bourne, Jericho and Edge delivered a great promo on Orton and Bourne for the live audience.

After retaining the Divas Title, Alicia Fox gave a good snub to the crowd when the lights went down. She walked without a limp and taunted the crowd with the belt.

Women’s Champion Layla & Michelle McCool def. Kelly Kelly & Tiffany (PHOTOS | WATCH)
Kelly Kelly has scored victories over Layla and Michelle McCool in recent weeks, but tonight she took on both of the self-proclaimed co-Women’s Champions with her pal Tiffany watching her back. As expected, both the SmackDown beauties brought all of their spunk and athleticism to the ring, but Team Lay-Cool’s mean streak was too much for the beautiful Divas to overcome. With the referee distracted, McCool illegally nailed Kelly with a brutal kick to the head, allowing Layla to score a tainted victory for Simply Flawless.

Chris Masters def. Caylen Croft in a Master Lock Challenge (PHOTOS | WATCH)
Few Superstars have been able to break Chris Masters’ punishing Master Lock, but that didn’t stop SmackDown’s Caylen Croft from stepping up to the Master Lock Challenge. After taking a seat in the middle of the ring, Croft was willfully placed in The Masterpiece’s devastating hold and struggled to get out to no avail. Although Masters was declared the victory, he had little time to celebrate as he was attacked by Croft’s partner, Trent Barreta, and stomped by both men.

Zack Ryder def. Goldust (PHOTOS | WATCH)
It’s been a good summer for Zack Ryder. The beaches are filled with beautiful women, the hot Long Island sun has given him a perfect tan and he has picked up a string of nice victories on “WWE Superstars.” Tonight was no different for the spiky haired Superstar as he nailed the bizarre Goldust with a Rough Ryder to score a big victory.

Yoshi Tatsu & Gail Kim def. Primo & Jillian (PHOTOS | WATCH)
With both Superstars and Divas competing in the same bout, tonight’s Mixed Tag Team Match had all the makings of a wild encounter. But when the gorgeous Bella Twins were introduced as the Special Guest Referees, the WWE Universe knew they were getting a contest they wouldn’t forget. Of course, after being defeated by both Bella sisters in recent weeks, Jillian was the only person in the arena who wasn’t happy about the beautiful officials. The tone-deaf Diva showed how upset she was as she viciously battered Gail Kim, but her anger got the better of her when she attacked Nikki & Brie. With her attention off her opponent, Jillian was rolled up by Gail for the 1-2-3.

Michael McGillicutty def. Percy Watson
The Miz def. Kaval
Husky Harris & Cody Rhodes def. Lucky Cannon & Mark Henry

ATLANTA – With the second NXT Poll just three weeks away, and the chaos-causing Nexus returning to WWE NXT next week, the NXT Rookies continued their quest to make an impression on the WWE Universe and the WWE Pros.

Husky Harris & Cody Rhodes def. Lucky Cannon & Mark Henry (PHOTOS | WATCH)
Knowing he must start making a greater impact on Tuesday nights, No. 7 ranked NXT Rookie Husky Harris finally earned a win, thanks to a tag team victory with “Dashing” Cody Rhodes, his WWE Pro. After a Cross Rhodes, the conceited Superstar pinned No. 5 ranked Lucky Cannon, the NXT Rookie he defeated a few weeks ago in a Five-Minute Challenge, as Cannon’s WWE Pro, Mark Henry, could only watch from his corner of the ring. With his tag team win, Harris’ record increased to 1-2, while Cannon’s fell to 1-3. (WATCH: The WWE Pros discuss Husky Harris)

The Miz def. Kaval (PHOTOS | WATCH)
United States Champion and WWE Pro The Miz took on No. 1 ranked NXT Rookie Kaval in an intense match on WWE NXT. Kaval impressed with his strong offensive effort, showing off his many martial arts skills. But ultimately it was The Miz who taught the NXT Rookie a lesson, pinning him after a hard-fought match and the Skull-Crushing Finale. With his loss this week, Kaval’s record fell to 1-3.

Michael McGillicutty def. Percy Watson (PHOTOS | WATCH)
Hoping to further impress the WWE Universe and the WWE Pros, No. 3 ranked Michael McGillicutty earned a win over fellow NXT Rookie, Percy Watson, who is ranked No. 2. With his WWE Pro, Intercontinental Champion Kofi Kingston, cheering him on from his corner, third-generation competitor McGillicutty kept on his path to perfection, defeating the always-entertaining Watson, who just won the Talk the Talk Challenge. With this win, McGillicutty upped his perfect record to 4-0, while WWE Universe-pleasing Watson’s dropped to 1-2.

Talk the Talk Challenge (PHOTOS | WATCH)
“Showtime” Percy Watson was the first NXT Rookie to take the microphone in the Talk the Talk Challenge, and left the strongest impression on the WWE Universe in Atlanta’s Philips’ Arena, who was judging the contest. Under his topic of “glasses,” Watson told the WWE Universe about his vision and spoke about the importance of being able “to see what you want out of life.” “Showtime” received the most cheers, earning his own one-night-only talk show on next week’s WWE NXT!

United States Champion The Miz vs. R-Truth ended in a No Contest
Evan Bourne & Randy Orton def. Edge & Chris Jericho
Divas Champion Alicia Fox def. Eve

NASHVILLE – During The Nexus’ reign of terror, the band of bothers have focused their attacks, managing not to involve the entire Raw roster. This week, however, their actions managed to drag nearly every Raw Superstar into their wicked wake.

During “truce” handshake, John Cena retaliated against Wade Barrett and The Nexus; mystery GM arranged Cena vs. The Nexus in 7-on-1 Handicap Match next week (PHOTOS | WATCH)
John Cena is nothing if not a man of his word. That being the case, the seven-time WWE Champion showed up in the ring, as ordered by Raw’s mystery GM, to commence a truce ceremony with The Nexus’s de facto leader, Wade Barrett. While the Brit tried to assure his rival that his group’s attacks weren’t personal, Cena remained understandably skeptical.

But Barrett offered his hand to seal the truce, and Cena finally accepted. When The Nexus boss attempted to pull away, however, he quickly found himself angling for an Attitude Adjustment. Before Cena could lower the guillotine, though, he was attacked by The Nexus’ remaining six members. Just then, Cena’s pals rolled in for the rescue, including Mark Henry, David Hart Smith, Tyson Kidd, John Morrison, Evan Bourne, Goldust, Yoshi Tatsu, Santino Marella, Vladimir Kozlov and The Great Khali.

The Nexus escaped, though, except for Darren Young, who suffered an STF at the hands of Cena. As a means of punishment, the mystery GM is forcing Cena to face The Nexus next week in a 7-on-1 Handicap Match.

Randy Orton to take on Edge next week
Per the mystery General Manager, scorching rivals Randy Orton and Edge must face each other in singles action next Monday Night. The match will take place less than a week before the pair tangle above the ring during Raw’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match.

Perhaps “America’s Mom” Florence Henderson can restore peace and harmony in the house of Raw when she acts as special guest host next week.

Divas Champion Alicia Fox def. Eve (PHOTOS | WATCH)
Ever since narrowly capturing the Divas Championship at Fatal 4-Way, Alicia Fox has shown herself to be nothing short of sly. While defending her title against former Divas Champion Eve, the calculating Superstar dusted off an old trick: Playing possum. Fox pretended to suffer an ankle injury, and, when Eve let her guard down, she pounced to retain the Golden Butterfly.

Chris Jericho appeared on “The Cutting Edge”; Evan Bourne & Randy Orton def. Jericho & Edge (PHOTOS | WATCH)
Former partners Chris Jericho and Edge traded verbal barbs on his show “The Cutting Edge” until the situation became too heated, and they’re war of words became physical. As the two tangled, Evan Bourne charged the ring and leveled them. Before the trio could mix it up, though, the mystery GM chimed in: Edge & Jericho must take on Bourne and his partner, Randy Orton, in a tag team match.

In the battle to get a rung up on the competition, The Ultimate Opportunist and his partner tried to set aside their differences, but their tenuous treaty would prove futile when Edge Speared Jericho. “Air” Bourne then capitalized with a lethal Shooting Star Press for the win. As Bourne celebrated, however, The Viper slithered up and razed him with an RKO, proving that during Raw’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match, there will be no such alliances.

United States Champion The Miz vs. R-Truth ended in a No Contest (PHOTOS | WATCH)
Just one night after the United States celebrated her birthday on July 4th, U.S. Champion The Miz showed that he really knows how to spoil a party. Before what promised to be a thrilling match, Miz snuffed the fuse on the fireworks by attacking R-Truth before the bell. The “Cleveland Screamer” pounded Truth so fiercely, in fact, that his fellow Raw Money in the Bank Ladder Match competitor had to be escorted from the ring by medical personnel.

As a result of a shoulder injury, Truth will no longer be eligible to compete in the Raw Money in the Bank Ladder Match.

WWE Champion Sheamus confronted Arn Anderson (WATCH)
During an interview with Josh Mathews, Arn Anderson updated the WWE Universe on the condition of his fellow WWE Legend Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat. The former member of The Four Horsemen was then interrupted by WWE Champion Sheamus, who derided Anderson for succumbing to an attack from The Nexus last week. For his part, Anderson warned the Irishman that he should be careful, or The Nexus will become too powerful to be stopped.

Santino Marella & Vladimir Kozlov def. William Regal & The Great Khali (PHOTOS | WATCH)
Four nations, two teams, one winner. After chasing William Regal from the ring in favor of Santino Marella last Monday, Vladimir Kozlov reluctantly agreed to team up with the spicy Italian. This week, before his match against Santino & Vlad, Regal gleefully introduced his partner, The Great Khali. Sadly for the Englishman, The Punjabi Playboy refused to tag in, leaving Regal out to dry for the loss. Afterward, Khali encouraged his opponents to help Regal to his feet, at which point he Taj Ma-hauled off and chopped him down.

Ted DiBiase def. John Morrison (PHOTOS | WATCH)
Ted DiBiase’s new “protection,” Maryse, already seems to be paying dividends. The “Fortunate Son” faced off against his fellow Raw Money in the Bank Ladder Match participant, John Morrison, as his sultry security looked on. While The Shaman of Sexy’s attack appeared as tight as his abs, he became distracted when Maryse began to model his coat. The diversion allowed the prosperous progeny to capitalize and notch a cheap victory.

Mystery General Manager banned Nexus members from WWE title opportunities; arranged Money in the Bank participant matches and called for a truce (PHOTOS | WATCH)
The Nexus had to know this day would come. The group of outlaws have ridden roughshod over the WWE landscape seemingly free of consequence. Until now.

Through mouthpiece Michael Cole, Raw’s anonymous General Manager e-mailed to inform The Nexus that none of their members may compete for any WWE title until further notice, including Wade Barrett, who has a guaranteed championship match of his choice.

While the seven were visibly irate, John Cena, the target of much of their ire, entered and appeared itching for a fight. He brought six other Superstars with him to confront the group: Randy Orton, R-Truth, Evan Bourne, John Morrison & Unified Tag Team Champions The Hart Dynasty.

Before the 14 could saddle up to fight, however, WWE Champion Sheamus, United States Champion The Miz, Edge, Chris Jericho, Ted DiBiase & The Usos ambushed Cena’s posse as The Nexus scattered throughout the arena.

After the dust settled, Cole received another email. The mystery GM told the Superstars to simmer, that later in the evening all of the competitors in the Raw Money in the Bank Ladder Match in two weeks will compete against one another. The still-anonymous GM also implored Cena to call a truce and shake the hand of Barrett. When Cena resisted the idea, the mystery GM asked Cena to do the “right thing” before cryptically adding in the e-mail, “and that’s the bottom line because the GM said so.”

MVP def. Chavo Guerrero
Kelly Kelly def. Michelle McCool
World Champion Rey Mysterio & Big Show def. Jack Swagger & "Dashing" Cody Rhodes (Disqualification)

WILKES-BARRE, Pa. – With Money in the Bank just weeks away, Jack Swagger sent a strong message to World Champion Rey Mysterio by locking him in a lethal ankle lock and refusing to let go. Serena unveiled a dirty little secret, seemingly proving CM Punk did not attack The Undertaker. And with only two coveted spots remaining in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match (preview), all of SmackDown was out to make an impact.

World Champion Rey Mysterio & Big Show def. Jack Swagger & "Dashing" Cody Rhodes by Disqualification (PHOTOS | WATCH)
Last week it was Big Show who fell victim to an angry Jack Swagger’s debilitating ankle lock. This week World Champion Rey Mysterio was snared in “The All-American American’s” lethal hold when Swagger stopped a 619 cold. While writhing in agony, Mysterio managed to reach the ropes – hoping to stop the pain. However, just like last week, Swagger refused to heed the ref’s orders to break the hold, costing him and “Dashing” Cody Rhodes the match.

Fueled by frustration at losing the World Title at Fatal 4-Way, Swagger ignored the ref’s pleas to break the hold even after the bout had ended. With the painful hold still locked in, Swagger dragged Mysterio out of the ring and down onto the arena floor, where Mysterio finally found relief from the hold. Swagger’s actions made things clear – he wants his World Title back from Mysterio at Money in the Bank. (preview)

Kelly Kelly def. Michelle McCool (PHOTOS | WATCH)
Despite a vicious offense from Michelle McCool, Kelly Kelly took advantage of a distraction from Layla to help defeat Michelle. With the win, Kelly now boasts recent victories over both members of team “Lay-Cool.”

MVP def. Chavo Guerrero (PHOTOS | WATCH)
Before the match began, Chavo Guerrero made it known to his aunt and Official SmackDown Consultant Vickie Guerrero that he deserves an Intercontinental Title Match. However, in the end, it was MVP’s Play of the Day that garnered the victory for The Ballin’ Superstar.

Kane def. Luke Gallows by Disqualification; Serena seemingly proves CM Punk’s innocence (PHOTOS | WATCH)
After decimating CM Punk last week, Kane set his sights on Luke Gallows. Just like last week, Kane found himself tangling with more than just his opponent when a hooded member of The Straight Edge Society attacked him from behind, causing an immediate disqualification. Red with rage, Kane destroyed both the hooded S.E.S. member and Luke Gallows. CM Punk appeared to be next to suffer the same fate … until Serena revealed shocking news.

As she begged for Kane to release Punk from his clutches, she claimed to be able to prove Punk could not have been involved in the attack on The Undertaker. At first, Kane did not believe her and was poised to destroy Punk. That was until Serena proved her case in the form of a video broadcast on the arena screen.

The shocking video revealed Serena drinking in a bar – a behavior completely against living The Straight Edge lifestyle. The video closed with an irate Punk confronting her – apparently proving Punk was elsewhere on the night The Undertaker was attacked. After seeing the video, Kane released Punk from his grasp and exited the ring.

Matt Hardy attacked Christian on “The Peep Show” (PHOTOS | WATCH)
After Matt Hardy and Christian agreed they shared a similar path in WWE, they couldn’t agree on who had a better chance at winning the upcoming Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Putting an end to the discussion, Hardy hit Christian in the face then sent him crashing into a ladder on the set of “The Peep Show.”

Intercontinental Champion Kofi Kingston def. Dolph Ziggler (PHOTOS | WATCH)
With official SmackDown Consultant Vickie Guerrero at his side, Dolph Ziggler had an opportunity to become the No. 1 Contender to the Intercontinental Title if he could defeat reigning champion, Kofi Kingston. Despite a vigorous offense, Ziggler was stopped cold by Trouble in Paradise. Disappointed in Ziggler’s performance, Vickie walked off without him after the match.

Rey Mysterio aided Big Show after being attacked by Jack Swagger and “Dashing” Cody Rhodes (PHOTOS | WATCH)
At the start of the night, Jack Swagger reminded the WWE Universe that he is the most recent Money in the Bank winner, having won the coveted briefcase at WrestleMania XXVI. Claiming he has since been “cheated” out of the World Title he cashed in on, Swagger continued to express his woes. Tired of hearing it, Big Show emerged – threatening to break Swagger’s jaw. But before he could get his hands on Swagger, “Dashing” Cody Rhodes attacked him from behind. Swagger joined in, rolling Big Show into the ring where they double-teamed him. Before total carnage, Rey Mysterio emerged to help, driving both aggressors from ring.

He continues to follow around the ring and points at her when she trips, and Hogan comes to the ring and tells Abyss to get in the ring. Abyss gets to the ropes but Eric Bischoff runs down the ramp and gets in Hogan's way and tells him what he is doing is insane. Security comes in and gets between Abyss and Hogan, and Bischoff is trying to get Abyss to back down, and then calls him an ungrateful son of a b***h and slaps him in the face.

AJ goes for a Figure Four but Joe is able to reverse it and he locks in the Kokina Clutch, and AJ has no choice and taps out.

Winner - Samoa Joe

After the match Flair and Kazarian get in AJ's face and Flair is yelling at him about losing the match. Kazarian smiles at AJ and he doesn't look happy about it and grabs a mic. He asks Kazarian if he thinks this is funny and says the funny thing is that he would beat Kazarian. He asks Kazarian for a match next week and then he asks Flair if that is OK, and Flair has no objections and AJ says good. Flair and Kazarian walk to the back as AJ stays in the ring and it will be AJ Styles vs Kazarian next week on Impact.

Bischoff and Hogan are meeting with Dixie in the back and Bischoff has a proposal he would like to share. He says Sting has his own agenda and he is becoming dangerous. She says this isn't like him, and Hogan and Bischoff say it is him, and he can't handle the successand he has always been like this. Nash comes in and Hogan asks him to leave, and Nash looks surprised and leaves. They say they came in to fix everything, and Sting is the guy that keeps trying to bring them down, and pretty soon everyone will jump ship on them. Bischoff tells her she needs to do something about it, and she says it will be tonight, but she needs to do it herself. 

Desmond Wolfe vs Brian Kendrick

Wolfe and Kendrick trade punches in the corner and then Kendrick hits a dropkick and locks in a Cobra Clutch until Wolfe gets to the ropes. Wolfe goes outside with Kendrick and then gets in Chelsea's face as he chokes Wolfe on the guardrail. He throws Kendrick back in the ring and hits a knee to the back that sends Kendrick back inside. Wolfe hits him with European uppercuts and then puts him in a half nelson as he argues with Chelsea again. He sits down and grapevines Kendrick's arm and then stops when Chelsea leaves and goes backstage.

Kendrick wraps his legs around Wolfe's waist on the mat, and after trying to fight out Wolfe can't go anywhere and taps out.

Winner - Brian Kendrick

After a video package, the Pope D'Angelo Dinero makes his return to TNA. He comes down to the ring and grabs a mic and thanks the fans as they chant "Hallelujah". He says moments like this realize that him busting his butt in the ring makes everything worth it, and he couldn't have done it with all of the Congregation. Pope says he is at 80%, and he wants to be clear, and he says he hasn't forgot about what Mr. Anderson did to him. He says he'll take care of Anderson soon enough, and says he is still in the Top Ten because he wants to stake his claim and earn his spot back. Pope calls for a Hallelujah but is interrupted by Kurt Angle's music as Angle rises up from the platform in the stage. Pope smiles and realizes why Kurt came out, and Kurt says welcomes back and everyone misses you. Kurt says Pope has been making alot of noise and he is a big fan, and says it is unfortunate that Pope is #8. Kurt says they will face each other at Victory Road, and he needs to win because it could be his last match. Kurt says good luck to Pope, and says he must be victorious before he leaves and goes backstage.

Jay Lethal comes out to the ring and says last week Flair and AJ beat up his brother, and he doesn't respect Flair anymore. He says his brother isn't a wrestler and didn't sign up for this, but he did so he won't leave until one of them comes out. Matt Morgan makes his way out and says he was the first person that Flair asked to join Fortune.

Afterwards Lethal celebrates and Morgan is pissed off as he stares back at Hernandez, who is still on the ramp.

Security runs in and breaks them up and Sarita slaps Taylor in the head as they pull the two women apart. 

Dixie Carter catches up to Sting backstage and he asks if she finally gets it. She says that Hogan and Bischoff showed her that he is a cancer, and Sting did it to himself. She says that he is suspended for 30 days, and he can't believe it. He says it isn't about the money, and says it is about her being conned. Dixie asks him if he has something to say instead of talking in cryptic language all the time, so he says he will break it down for her, only to get cut off by Eric Bischoff. He says to stop because this is nuts, and calls for security. Sting tells Dixie to forget about the 30 days, because she can make it indefinite, and he leaves without restraint. Bischoff tells her that Sting won't go away easily, and says she needs protection. He suggests she gets a bodyguard and they leave the area they confronted Sting in. 

Abyss vs Jeff Hardy (w/ Rob Van Dam as Special Referee)

Hardy takes control early and unloads on Abyss in the corner, then clotheslines Abyss out of the ring. Hardy hits a slingshot crossbody to the outside and keeps after Abyss but he misses a Twist of Fate and Abyss shoves him into the ringpost.

After the bell, Abyss goes nuts and chokes Hardy then hits RVD with a Black Hole Slam. He goes and grabs the piece of wood with the nails, and gets cut off by Mr. Anderson. Anderson drives the chair into Abyss' ribs, and he winds up and swings at Abyss, but Abyss ducks and Anderson accidentally hits Hardy with the chair. Anderson goes to check on Hardy and Abyss picks him up and hits the Shock Treatment. Abyss looks around and yells as the other three men are down on the mat as Impact goes off the air.

NXT Rookie Alex Riley suffered a wound to the back of his head while defending his FCW Florida Heavyweight Championship against Kaval at last night's Florida Championship Wrestling television taping in Tampa, Florida.

Riley suffered the injury after hitting his head on the guardrail, which was in due part to a kick from Kaval. The match was immediately stopped and medical personnel assisted Riley to the back.

Seeing as the match was the final bout of the three-episode taping, FCW President Steve Keirn came out to apologize to the fans, noting it will take place at a different time. He said he had a standby match, which saw Percy Watson upend Big E. Langston.

Primo & Zack Ryder def. Goldust & Yoshi Tatsu
Nikki Bella def. Jillian
Christian def. Curt Hawkins

Don’t 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.

Christian def. Curt Hawkins (PHOTOS | WATCH)
The attention grabbing young team of Curt Hawkins & Vance Archer have been making serious waves on SmackDown in recent weeks, but tonight Hawkins had to get through the electrifying Christian. The former World Tag Team Champion may have all the talent in the world, but beating a veteran like Captain Charisma is easier said than done. And despite his aggressiveness and will to win, Hawkins simply couldn’t stop the offensive onslaught of the leader of the Peeps. After tonight’s impressive victory, Christian can now set his sights on the big SmackDown Money in the Bank Ladder Match on July 18.

Nikki Bella def. Jillian (PHOTOS | WATCH)
To paraphrase the great Yogi Berra, it was déjà vu all over again for Jillian on tonight’s “WWE Superstars.” After the beautiful Bella Twins switched places during Brie’s match with Jillian last Thursday, the tone-deaf Diva wanted to insure that didn’t happen again this week. And to her credit, the former Divas Champion did control much of the early action, punishing Nikki with vicious blows that had the gorgeous Diva seeing double. But when the action spilled to the outside, Brie distracted Jillian, allowing Nikki to roll her up for the pin. 

Primo & Zack Ryder def. Goldust & Yoshi Tatsu (PHOTOS | WATCH)
There are many reasons two Superstars form a tag team — a quest for vengeance, a thirst for championship glory, the desire to revenge on a gorgeous woman. OK, the third one might be uncommon, but that’s how Primo and Zack Ryder linked up. After both being scorned by Divas Champion Alicia Fox in recent weeks, the two young Raw competitors decided to team up to show The Foxy Floridian what they are made of. Hopefully the beautiful Diva was watching “WWE Superstars” tonight, because Primo & Ryder impressed with a big victory over Goldust & Yoshi Tatsu.
