ALBANY, N.Y. SmackDown was hurled into darkness as World Heavyweight Champion Kane proclaimed his sinister intention to defend his title against The Undertaker at Night of Champions.
World Heavyweight Champion Kane announced that he will end The Undertakers existence at Night of Champions (PHOTOS | WATCH 1 | WATCH 2) After Kane announced that he will put the World Heavyweight Championship on the line against The Undertaker at Night of Champions, The Big Red Monster rose out of a casket placed at ringside, sending a frightening message to his ominous brother. He claimed to be in the possession of The Phenoms legendary powers, insisting that there was nothing The Demon of Death Valley would be able to do to stop his demise at their upcoming pay-per-view showdown.
When The Undertaker emerged to confront Kane, his frightening younger brother disappeared. However, the self-proclaimed devils favorite demon soon reappeared on the arena screen, informing The Phenom that although theyre known as The Brothers of Destruction, after Night of Champions, The Deadman will soon simply be the brother that he destroyed. (Match preview)
Dashing Cody Rhodes def. Matt Hardy (PHOTOS | WATCH) Cody Rhodes prefaced his match with Matt Hardy by completely insulting the physical make-up of his impending opponent. Then, in the final moments of their hard-fought match, the Dashing Superstar dropped a knee off the second rope onto Hardys injured left ankle, setting up the victory with the Cross Rhodes.
Jack Swagger hosted MVPs VIP Lounge (PHOTOS | WATCH) After defeating MVP in the Jack Swagger Senior Invitational one week ago, Jack Swagger captured the right to host MVPs VIP Lounge for one night. The All-American Americans special guest was none other than his injured father, still confined to a wheelchair.
When MVP arrived to close the VIP Lounge for renovations, Swagger opted to use his dad as a human shield, in order to prevent his ballin foe from getting to him. In the confusion, Swagger senior was sent flying out of the chair and into The Franchise Playa. After the younger Swagger missed his chance at a follow-up attack, The Ballin Superstar put the icing on the cake by dropping the big elbow on the fallen Swagger patriarch.
Big Show def. CM Punk & Luke Gallows (PHOTOS | WATCH) In a 2-on-1 Handicap Match, Big Show reigned supreme by making Luke Gallows tap-out to the Colossal Clutch. After the bell, CM Punk stunned the WWE Universe by executing the GTS on the war-torn first disciple of his Straight Edge Society.

Christian def. Drew McIntyre (PHOTOS | WATCH) Just minutes after being blindsided by McIntyre, Christian elected to shake off the effects of the onslaught and commence his scheduled match against the ruthless Chosen One. And at the conclusion of their extremely brutal battle, Captain Charisma triumphed, lifting his adversary off his feet, before flipping him over for the quick three-count.
Christian interrupted Alberto Del Rios celebration (PHOTOS | WATCH) One week after viciously assaulting Rey Mysterio and fracturing his wrist, Alberto Del Rio threw himself a lavish celebration to honor his nefarious actions. Christian soon interrupted the festivities, mocking SmackDowns newest Superstar. Just when it looked as if they would come to blows, the aristocratic Superstar told Captain Charisma that he would pay at a different time and place. As Del Rio made his exit, Drew McIntyre attacked Christian from behind, allowing Del Rio to pour champagne all over his face.
- Apparently, there are reports circulating online indicating that World Wrestling Entertainment has re-signed former performer Nick "Eugene" Dinsmore. Those within the company have stated that the reports are untrue.
It would appear that Aloisia has been pulled from appearing on the third season of NXT as the official WWE website issued a statement this afternoon indicating that the 6-foot-9 Rookie Diva was fired by her Pro, Vickie Guerrero.
Guerrero's new Rookie Diva will be announced on the NXT season three premiere this Tuesday night on Syfy.
Earlier today, WWE.com removed all mentions of Aloisa promoting the new season of NXT, prompting speculation that she had been removed from the program.
WWE Pro Vickie Guerrero has fired her NXT season three Rookie Diva, Aloisia.
Various sources are reporting that Guerrero, the temperamental Official Consultant of SmackDown, had an argument with her 6-foot-9 Rookie Diva over Vickies influence over Aloisia.
The news has left WWE NXT season three shaken before its even started. But when reached for comment, Guerrero stated she would reveal her new Rookie Diva on the WWE NXT season three premiere this Tuesday night at 10 p.m. ET on Syfy.
You can click here to see photos of her. You've got to see these. She's freakin' unreal!!
Of course, this has 'storyline' written all over it but it's possible she may not appear on the show. We'll have an update shortly.
Couple pieces of news dealing with TNA was the announcement a few days ago by Dixie Carter that the company signed a big name. The person is apparently someone the fans have been asking about. Carlito? Shelton Benjamin? Mickie James? According to the guys over at The Sports Courier it's James. I was quick to shout out Carlito after a tweet by D'Angelo Dinero but Dinero quickly replied to folks that it was purely coincidence that his tweet included the word "cool".
Earlier today, Carter tweeted that the Thursday prior to Bound for Glory the company will air a live iMPACT!. There are more changes to come as well.
Show Starts
A video hyping the tournament to crown the new world champion airs with soundbites from the four remaining men, Eric Bischoff, and Hulk Hogan. The show is titled "10.10.10" so they seem to be focusing on the pay-per-view in October, not this Sunday?

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.
Kofi Kingston def. Chavo Guerrero (PHOTOS | WATCH) For a few weeks, it looked as though Chavo Guerrero may have turned things around. The self-proclaimed Mexican Warrior was riding a wave of success after scoring consecutive victories over Chris Masters and JTG on WWE Superstars, but all things must pass. For Guerrero, that happened tonight as the explosive Kofi Kingston dropped the boom on the cagey veteran. Youll get em next time, Chavo.
Santino Marella def. Jimmy Uso (PHOTOS | WATCH) Everyone in the WWE Universe knows Santino Marella is hilarious, but who knew he was so irresistible to women? His surprising sex appeal was on full display tonight as Jimmy Usos manager, Tamina, couldnt help but lust after the Italian Superstar. This wild attraction kept the Diva distracted and helped Santino dispose of the tag team specialist in short order.
Ted DiBiase def. Goldust (PHOTOS | WATCH) Who says money cant buy happiness? Certainly not Ted DiBiase, who walked to ring tonight with the Million Dollar Championship around his waist, the gorgeous Maryse on his arm and a look of determination in his eye. Although the Fortunate Son was going up against the veteran Goldust, he showed no bit of intimidation before locking up with The Bizarre One. And with Maryse keeping Goldust distracted from ringside, it wasnt long before DiBiase hit Dream Street to cash in another rich victory.
Matt Hardy posted the following on his Twitter account today:
"Gotta state this. I'm sick & tired of being 'hurt', being misused, & not being shown the respect that I've earned-something has to change."
SPOILER ALERT: You should see the segment this week on SmackDown!. Cody Rhodes trashed the hell out of him in a promo before the match and then defeated him clean. Rhodes called him ugly, fat, out of shape, etc etc. I was there live and it was pretty brutal. It also seemed to me like it was a way to send a message but that's just my opinion.
Anyways, expect Hardy to talk about working the dirt sheets in a few minutes. Yup.

WWE planning to unify the WWE and World titles? Posted by Roscoe De Soto on 08/31/2010 at 12:58 PM
Credit: F4WOnline.com
WWE will be holding a Unification match for the Divas and Womens Titles at Night of Champions. The talk Monday was that WWE is planning to unify all the titles in the next year and have one World Title, one Tag Team Title, one Intercontinental/US Title and one Womens Title. The idea would be to do the WWE and World Title Unification match at Wrestlemania 27.
- Regarding a Team 3D return to WWE, it's said that the chances of them coming back are slim because a lot of people, mainly John Laurinaitis, do not like Brother Ray. Most people like Devon but not enough to bring Bubba in and deal with what they perceive to be all of his baggage. With that said, a return isn't totally out of the question.
The latest on Chris Jericho's status with WWE Posted by Roscoe De Soto on 08/31/2010 at 12:05 PM

As seen on RAW last night, Chris Jericho said that he was finished with WWE if he did not win the WWE Title at Night of Champions. Its no secret that Jerichos contract expires soon and there has been talk of him leaving. Its not known yet what the plan for Night of Champions is but apparently Jericho had not re-signed with WWE as of a week ago. That doesnt mean that he hasnt re-signed already or isnt planning on re-signing. Its said that if he does stick around with the company, Jericho wants more time off to tour with Fozzy and spend time with family.
- AAA's Dorian Roldan said on Twitter that AAA star Alex Koslov will finish the rest of this year with the promotion and start with WWE's FCW developmental territory in WWE. Koslov is the man who wrestled Alberto Del Rio on last Friday's SmackDown. Apparently WWE has been interested in him for some time. Dorian noted that Koslov's recent tryout with WWE went well.
- There are rumors that WWE has signed or is close to signing female independent wrestler Isis The Amazon to a developmental deal. Isis is 6 foot 9 inches and besides indy wrestling, has done some modeling and acting work. Isis also has participated in a week-long evaluation at WWE's FCW developmental territory.
Isis has been in attendance at as many as two WWE developmental shows this month. A fan in attendance at this week's show in Fort Myers, Florida says Isis had to ask FCW officials if it was okay to take photos with fans. To put Isis into perspective, she is just a few inches shorter than Big Show.

A brawl broke out amongst fans at todays RAW live event in Newark, New Jersey over a T-shirt John Cena had thrown to the crowd just before his Steel Cage Match with Sheamus.
According to a fan who witnessed the incident, the melee lasted approximately 15 minutes before Prudential Center staff broken it up. The correspondent also noted that over 10 people were ejected from the arena and some children were hurt during the brawl.

Evan Bourne The Nexus def. WWE Champion Sheamus, John Cena, Edge, Chris Jericho & Randy Orton in a 5-on-5 Tag Team Elimination Match
BOSTON In this historic city, nearly 240 years ago, a group of men rebelled against the tyranny of the English establishment. Those American colonists would eventually go on to overcome their British oppressors. During Raws 900th episode celebration, however, it would be the Englishman who would prevail in the end.
The Nexus def. WWE Champion Sheamus, John Cena, Edge, Chris Jericho & Randy Orton in a 5-on-5 Tag Team Elimination Match (PHOTOS | WATCH) Timing really is everything. At the conclusion of the nights main event, The Nexus leader Wade Barrett proved that as he stood as proud and tall as Londons Big Ben.
Earlier in the evening, the Englishman was in the right place at the right time as he punished The Undertaker with a devastating slam to the canvas. At nights end, he along with his Nexus cohorts emerged victorious in a 5-on-5 Tag Team Elimination Match against WWE Champion Sheamus, John Cena, Edge, Chris Jericho & Randy Orton.
Almost immediately, Jericho and Edge ditched their team. At a distinct disadvantage, The Celtic Warrior finally relented and was pinned by Heath Slater. Next up, Cena found himself in trouble against the overwhelming odds and eventually succumbed to the 450° Splash of Justin Gabriel.
Barretts fortuitous evening concluded, though, when Orton faced a 3-on-1 scenario. Although Orton has proven a staunch and worthy adversary of The Nexus and managed to eliminate Gabriel and Michael Tarver, he nonetheless was unable to overcome Barretts offense in a gutting defeat.
Owing to their mutual distrust of one another, the team of former world champions appeared to implode from lack of teamwork. Not surprising, perhaps, given the fact that they will be competing for the WWE Title at Night of Champions in three weeks. In the opening salvo for the coveted title, however, it appears Barrett has fired off one jolly good shot.
Big Show confronted The Straight Edge Society (PHOTOS | WATCH) CM Punk got his televangelist on again, much to the dismay of the WWE Universe. The preachy Superstar, along with his disciple Luke Gallows, railed against Monday Night Raw and its 900 episodes, blaming the show for everything short of locusts and floods.
While Punk spat ire and brimstone, Big Show descended to the ring like an avenging angel. The Worlds Largest Athlete not only silenced Punk, he slapped him across the chest with his meaty paw. As the S.E.S. high priest high-tailed it out of the ring and looked on, Show punished his brainwashed devotee, Gallows.
Jack Swagger def. Evan Bourne (PHOTOS | WATCH: Part 1 | Part 2) Jack Swagger proclaimed himself a conquering hero for returning to Raw as a former World Champion. Fair enough. But now, it was time to back up the boasts by facing Evan Bourne. In the battle of height versus flight, The All-American American toppled his feisty foe as SmackDown newcomer Alberto Del Rio observed from the comfort of his sleek Bentley automobile.
After the match, the suave Del Rio recounted his physical onslaught of Rey Mysterio on SmackDown before undertaking a similar beatdown of Bourne. Mercifully, Mark Henry wasnt about to let it go down like that. The Worlds Strongest Man saved the high-flyer and chased rico suave back up the ramp.
The Undertaker vs. Bret Hart ended in a No Contest; World Heavyweight Champion Kane and The Nexus attacked The Deadman (PHOTOS | WATCH) Earlier in the evening, Wade Barrett promised to do something unforgettable during Raws 900th episode celebration. Consider that a promise kept.
As The Undertaker prepared for his battle against Bret Hart, Barrett complained that he deserved the bout. When he tried to prove himself, however, The Deadman summarily dispensed of him.
Then, the arena suddenly darkened. When light was restored, Kane mysteriously stood where The Hit Man had been just moments earlier. The two brothers of destruction circled one another before The Phenom swiftly latched onto Kanes neck. And just a quickly, the arena lights dimmed again. When they brightened this time, The Big Red Monster had vanished. A new plague, however, would take his place.
The Nexus, minus behemoth Skip Sheffield, who suffered a severe ankle injury a week ago, crept toward the ring and surrounded The Deadman. The five proceeded to attack their prey to no avail when the lights cut off and on for a third time. While Kane stood atop the stage and looked on with maniacal glee, The Nexus had somehow emerged in control. Barrett slammed Undertaker to the canvas just before Justin Gabriel nailed the hapless Deadman with a crushing 450° Splash. The Phenom attempted to sit up, but he simply could not summon the strength.
R-Truth & John Morrison vs. Drew McIntyre & Dashing Cody Rhodes ended in a Double Disqualification (PHOTOS | WATCH) With an opportunity to face WWE Tag Team Champions The Hart Dynasty at Night of Champions, the tag team affair was heated perhaps overly so. R-Truth & John Morrison faced off against Drew McIntyre & Dashing Cody Rhodes to determine the No. 1 contenders to the new bronze titles. With four speedy Superstars in the ring, the action proved frenzied. In the end, however, both teams overzealous approach resulted in a double disqualification, meaning that the No. 1 contenders position remains unfilled.
Divas Champion Melina & Eve def. Co-Womens Champions Layla & Michelle McCool; Championship Unification Lumberjack Match arranged for Night of Champions (PHOTOS | WATCH) Oh, it is so on! After weeks of self-professed Co-Womens Champions Layla & Michelle McCool taunting Divas Champion Melina, its time to put up or shut up. After Melina and her partner, Eve, defeated Lay-Cool in a Divas Tag Team Match, the real-life mean girls made Melina an offer she couldnt refuse: One of them will face her at Night of Champions, and the winner will unify the Divas and Womens Championships.
The lovely Latina agreed on one condition. To ensure the match would be clean, she insisted that all of her fellow Divas be allowed to surround the ring in a Lumberjack Match. Reluctantly, Lay-Cool agreed before storming off in a high school huff.
U.S. Champion The Miz & Alex Riley def. Daniel Bryan & Kaval and Kofi Kingston & Michael McGillicutty in a Triple Threat Tag Team Match (PHOTOS | WATCH) Perform or perish. That might as well have been the ultimatum given the triumvirate of season two NXT Rookies. Just one night before the WWE NXT season finale, the three remaining men teamed up with WWE Pros and Daniel Bryan in a Triple Threat Tag Team Match.
With gallons of bad blood pumping between the three teams, the match featured United States Champion The Miz & Alex Riley against Daniel Bryan & Kaval, plus Kofi Kingston & Michael McGillicutty. In the end, it was the U.S. Champ and Mr. Money in the Bank who finally pinned the diminutive dynamo, Kaval, to secure the win for his team. After the match, Daniel Bryan booted Riley onto the arena floor, prompting Miz to bash his rival over the head with his Money in the Bank briefcase.
World Heavyweight Champion Kane confronted Bret Hart; Raw GM arranged Hart vs. The Undertaker (PHOTOS | WATCH) Kanes descent into madness continues. When Bret Hart merely mentioned his brother, The Undertaker, during Raws special 900th episode celebration, The Big Red Monster was thrown into a fit of paranoia. The World Heavyweight Champion interrupted the WWE Hall of Famer, threatening to take out the icon.
Before Kane could act, though, The Hart Dynasty rushed in to intervene. While David Hart Smith & Tyson Kidd slowed The Big Red Monster, they could hardly stop him. After disposing of the two, Kane continued to terrorize The Hit Man. He seemed on the verge of chokeslamming Hart when the arena lights cut and a familiar and familial gong sounded.
Kanes brother, The Undertaker, suddenly appeared to confront him. Rather than challenge The Deadman, the World Heavyweight Champion chose instead to bide his time, departing the ring. As Undertaker turned to face Hart, Raws anonymous General Manager chimed in via computer to decree that, in order to honor the historic occasion, he was arranging a match for later in the evening that hadnt been seen on Raw in 13 years, a match pitting The Deadman against The Excellence of Execution!

Randy Orton was dealing with a sore neck and shoulder following last nights RAW live event in Wildwood, New Jersey, where he faced Sheamus in a Lumberjack Match with Nexus. He was therefore placed in a Six-Man Tag Team Match at todays RAW live event in Newark, New Jersey so he could have a lighter workload.
The advertised main event was a Steel Cage Match between Orton and Sheamus, while John Cena was scheduled for a Six-Man Tag Team Match against Nexus. An angle was conducted at the beginning of the show where Sheamus attacked Cena and Nexus attacked Chris Jericho, leading Orton and Daniel Bryan to perform a run-in.
Orton sparingly wrestled during the match and did not perform the RKO. He did, however, strike Michael Tarver with a punt to the head in the aftermath of the bout.
Ortons injury is not immediately being considered serious, but he will likely have it checked out tomorrow.
Update on Tiffany's suspension from WWE Posted by Roscoe De Soto on 08/29/2010 at 09:37 PM
Speaking to the Scottish Daily Record, WWE confirmed that Tiffany has been pulled from the road in the wake of her arrest. Tiffany was arrested earlier this month following a domestic incident with husband and fellow WWE performer Drew McIntyre, and a WWE spokesperson told the Scottish outlet that the Diva, real name Taryn Terrell, will be off the road while the situation is investigated.
Taryn has been kept off the shows to give the authorities the required time to investigate, said the spokesperson. The bosses see it primarily as a personal issue, but they have to keep a close eye on the legal proceedings.
Confirming what was reported earlier, WWEs current stance is that if Tiffany manages to escape any charges, she will likely be welcomed back into the fold.
The spokesperson clarified, If she is not charged with any wrongdoing, she will be welcomed back.
Husband Drew McIntyre had previously told the media that he believes the situation was a misunderstanding.
Vince McMahon comments on John Cena's talent Posted by Roscoe De Soto on 08/29/2010 at 12:52 PM
In at interview with The Boston Herald, Vince McMahon talks about John Cena's rise to the top in WWE.
"You have to start with the quality of the human being, McMahon said. "John is an extraordinary human being; hes honest, hes loyal.
"Hes full of himself, too, McMahon added with a laugh. "But hes like a throwback to the type of individual its difficult find these days, someone with old-fashioned values. In addition to that, hes a Neanderthal when it comes to strength. No matter how good you are as a human being, you need talent. You could tell that John had talent - very raw talent, mind you."
Vince also recalled holding a meeting with the locker room in which he stated that he was looking for someone who was ready to reach for the brass ring. "Step on people on the way over if you have to," McMahon recalled saying.
"Apologize later. Im looking for someone with courage that wants to break out and be ballsy enough to take on the responsibility of being the top guy. At the end of the meeting, someone came over and said, Im your man, and that was John."
War of words between Laycool and Beautiful People Posted by Roscoe De Soto on 08/29/2010 at 04:13 AM
This weeks episode of TNA Wrestlings new behind-the-scenes program Reaction saw the recently reunited pairing of Angelina Love and Velvet Sky slam those who have attempted to imitate The Beautful People stable over the years.
Love charged during the pseudo-shoot program, We created a group that has been like no other for women in professional wrestling. People have tried to be like this. People wanted to join us. No can do.
Sky added, And for all you wannabe Beautiful People girls out there you know exactly who Im talking about, get a life. You will never be us.
Angelina then cryptically noted, And youre not cool by the way. Youre not cool.
Some have interpreted their message as a thinly veiled potshot towards WWE Diva alliance Laycool Michelle McCool and Womens Champion Layla. Both have directed similar remarks towards rival performers in the past, with Love recently stating the following on her Facebook account while watching television: So this is what I get for quickly flipping thru the channels on a friday night a blonde & a brunette blatantly ripping something off ..BRUTAL!!!
Apparently in response to the TNA Knockouts most recent remarks, Layla said the following on Twitter yesterday:
Living the dream & so blessed!!
1 thing I know when u r attacked u have 2 decide if its worth the time & effort to retaliate
Not worth the press
Plus dont deserve the press we get even tho they want it & need it
Serena issues statement on her WWE release Posted by Roscoe De Soto on 08/29/2010 at 03:21 AM
Serena has issued a statement via her official Twitter page concerning her release from WWE, which was officially announced by the company this past Friday immediately following the pre-taped broadcast of Smackdown (which she appeared on, though she was actually released from her contract nearly a week before)...
"To each and every one of my extraordinary fans, I would like to thank you for your love and support. The past year of my life has been an amazing journey. The people Ive come to know will always be in my heart and the unique places Ive been have shown me how beautiful the world is. I feel very blessed. I fell madly in love with pro wrestling when I was just 11 years old. I pursued my childhood dream with every ounce of passion I had and I couldnt be more proud of where my career has gone so far. I am so excited about the future and continuing to become as great as I can be, hopefully inspiring others along the way. 'Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined Dreams do come true ... I love you all Serena"
World Heavyweight Champion Kane def. Rey Mysterio (No Disqualification Match) CM Punk def. JTG Kofi Kingston def. Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler (Count-out) Jack Swagger def. MVP (Disqualification; "Jack Swagger Senior Invitational") Alberto Del Rio def. local competitor Big Show def. Luke Gallows
FRESNO, Calif. Hell rumbled as World Heavyweight Champion Kane and his brother The Undertaker exchanged emotional words about their future. Once again, Alberto Del Rio got the better of Rey Mysterio. And, the war for the Intercontinental Championship continued as Kofi picked up a win over reigning champion Dolph Ziggler but not the prestigious title.
The Undertaker and Kane talked of their past, present and future (PHOTOS | WATCH) Over the years, the road between brothers Kane and The Undertaker has had many ups and downs. But, are they poised for a volatile final confrontation?
The Undertaker said Kane is guilty of a treacherous betrayal and is not worthy of being his brother or carrying the World Heavyweight Championship.
I taught you everything you know about evil. But I didnt teach you everything I know. So when the mood strikes you, Ill be waiting. And when the fight starts, its always going to end the same way, The Deadman said.
Despite the ominous warning, The Big Red Monster was not intimidated by his older brothers words.
Not this time, said Kane. I know and you know that this time it ends the same way that it did at SummerSlam, with you sprawled helpless at my feet. I vow on the grave of our mother, that you will never rest in peace.
Big Show def. Luke Gallows (PHOTOS | WATCH) Accompanied to the ring by Kelly Kelly, Big Show was brimming with confidence. With Serena and Joey Mercury at ringside and CM Punk watching from a TV monitor Luke Gallows was expected to represent The Straight Edge Society with a win. However, with a powerful knockout punch, The Worlds Largest Athlete dropped Gallows hard and picked up the pinfall.
Alberto Del Rio def. local competitor (PHOTOS | WATCH) Like he did in last weeks debut, Alberto Del Rio was introduced by his own personal ring announcer, Ricardo Rodriguez. And, Del Rio arrived in grand style by driving himself to the ring in a Jaguar. After a dominant offense, Del Rio put away a local challenger by making him submit to his cross armbreaker.
Jack Swagger def. MVP by Disqualification in the Jack Swagger Senior Invitational (PHOTOS | WATCH) In a unique bout dubbed the Jack Swagger Senior Invitational, the first Superstar to get five takedowns would be declared the winner. And, if MVP won, Swagger would have to pay for MVPs end of summer block party. If Swagger won, he would get to host MVPs VIP Lounge for one night. As the action progressed, Swagger was up strong, leading MVP three takedowns to zero. Perhaps frustrated, MVP slapped Swagger, instantly getting himself disqualified. Although Swagger got the win, he wasnt done. After the match, he attacked MVP from behind and punished him with a session in his lethal ankle lock outside of the ring.
Kofi Kingston def. Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler by Count-out (PHOTOS | WATCH) Going into the bout, Kofi Kingston knew that if Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler were disqualified, he would become the new champion. Despite the stipulation, Kingstons efforts to regain the prestigious title were once again cleverly thwarted by the duo of Ziggler and Official SmackDown Consultant Vickie Guerrero. As the battle waged outside of the ring, the ref began a 10-count. Knowing Ziggler would still retain his title even after a count-out loss,Vickie stopped Ziggler from reentering the ring. Although Kingston won, he was furious the title eluded him once again and chased Ziggler from ringside, out into the WWE Universe and up a flight of arena stairs.
CM Punk def. JTG (PHOTOS | WATCH) Looking to set an example for his Straight Edge Society disciples, CM Punk came out of the gate with a super aggressive offense against JTG. After dropping JTG with a GTS, Punk forced him to submit using his Anaconda Vise. After the victory, Punk demanded Luke Gallows, Joey Mercury and Serena get on their knees in the ring and said they must be better or be gone!
Alberto Del Rio attacked Rey Mysterio (WATCH) Still feeling the painful effects of his loss to Kane, Rey Mysterio had to be helped from the ring by WWE officials. But before he could leave ringside, he was confronted by Alberto Del Rio, who said Rey looked like a "dying dog" who needed to be "put down." After slamming Rey into the ringside barrier, Del Rio locked him a cross armbreaker. Then, just when he appeared finished and was walking up the exit ramp, Del Rio returned for more brutality. First he shoved Mysterios arm into a steel chair and closed the chair on his arm. Then with his arm still caught in the chair, Del Rio viciously smashed Mysterio into a steel ring post.
World Heavyweight Champion Kane def. Rey Mysterio in a No Disqualification Match (PHOTOS | WATCH) Despite a valiant fight and 619 from Rey Mysterio, Kane dispatched of him with a monstrous chokeslam onto a steel chair in a match The Ultimate Underdog himself requested.
- As noted before, Skip Sheffield suffered a compound fracture of his left ankle at the WWE live event in Hawaii on August 18th. Sheffield is expected to have surgery next week. He hasnt had it yet because they had to wait for the swelling to go down. Right now, Sheffield is expected to be out of action four to six months.

Smackdown Superstar MVP was in the doghouse with WWE officials again before being put in the new feud with Jack Swagger. The only thing said about MVPs recent heat is that its for the same reasons hes been in and out of the doghouse for the past two years.
MVP is looking to reinvent himself and suggested doing a rapper gimmick to officials. MVP has even recorded a rap song to go with the gimmick.
Swagger, on the other hand, is getting high praise from WWE officials because the key people see him as a long-term Superstar. Swagger gets props on his great attitude, his size and athletic ability.

According to Dave Meltzer, it is believed that Straight Edge Society member Serena was released by WWE for "not living the gimmick" and having several "rough nights" leading up to her release.
Apparently, the skit with her almost being kicked out the SES group was WWE's real-life way of sending a warning message to her.
It is also believed that WWE hasn't posted a message on their website because she is set to appear on Friday's Smackdown, which was taped this past Wednesday night.

TNA Explosion last week had Ink Inc and London Brawling in singles competition seen as they lost the number one contenders match a week back. First match was excellent, Desmond Wolfe vs Jesse Neal. Jesse had next to no offense aside from hitting the spear so we got to see a lot of Wolfes arsenal which is nothing short of superb and its easy to see why he has such a strong fan base even given his hard heel persona. He finished the match with the Tower of London. In the other match Shannon Moore defeated Magnus with a top rope neckbreaker, not too bad of a match.
Report: Top stars unhappy with EV 2.0 storyline Posted by Corbin Nordhoff on 08/25/2010 at 05:17 PM

According to Dave Meltzer, there are top stars in TNA that feel it is a "big mistake" to have EV 2.0 as top babyfaces in the company. Several of the top stars were said to be against bringing the former ECW stars in as regulars and even doing the ECW reunion PPV in the first place.
It's possible that the Fortune attack on Hogan, Nash, Sting, and Jarrett was done as a backup plan in case things don't work out with EV 2.0.

Drew McIntyre def. Chris Masters (PHOTOS | WATCH) A week after he nearly had his ankle torn off by a vicious Jack Swagger, Chris Masters stepped in the ring with the underhanded Drew McIntyre. Quickly realizing his opponents vulnerability, The Scottish Superstar targeted Masters vulnerable ankle, but nearly got caught in the devastating Master Lock. But just when it looked like the hold was going to be cinched in, McIntyre managed to worm his way out and nail a devastating Future Shock DDT for an impressive victory.
Trent Barreta & Caylen Croft def. Vance Archer & Curt Hawkins (PHOTOS | WATCH) Ever since Bret Hart presented The Hart Dynasty with the brand new WWE Tag Team Championships, things have been heating up in the division as top duos have been gunning to grab those titles. Two of those hungry, young tandems squared off on WWE Superstars as Vance Archer & Curt Hawkins brought the fight to the energetic The Dude Busters. But while Archer & Hawkins have pulled off some dominant wins in recent weeks, they werent able to stop Caylen Croft & Trent Barreta tonight. With this win, the cocky SmackDown Superstars move one step closer to a WWE Tag Team Championship opportunity.
William Regal def. Goldust (PHOTOS | WATCH) Although they have drastically different ring styles, Goldust and William Regal are two of WWEs most experienced and accomplished veterans. So it came as no surprise that a showdown between these two tough Superstars was nothing short of a mat clinic. Playing to his strengths, The Bizarre One used his unorthodox offense to throw Regal off his game. But The British Brawler countered with the brutal submission maneuvers he learned in the carnivals of Blackpool, England, to incapacitate Goldust. In the end, it was this destructive arsenal of wicked holds that gave the 2008 King of the Ring the victory.
Heat between two of the ECW originals Posted by Corbin Nordhoff on 08/24/2010 at 04:20 PM
Todd Frizzell sent this in:
Recently Low Blow Radio was joined by former ECW original Balls Mahoney! Here are some highlights from the near 60 minute sit down interview...
When asked about TNA Hardcore Justice Balls said the following... "Tommy called me and asked if I knew about the rumors of the ECW reunion show. I said no because I don't read the internet much. I don't even have internet. Tommy asked me to appear at the show and I would be teaming with Axl. I have some issues with Axl so I was a bit apprehensive but I wouldn't pass up this opportunity for anything so I said of course I'll do it. I asked if it would be like One Night Stand 2006 where I get a 20 minute match with Tanaka and they come to be before the match and cut it down to 8 minutes along with all the great spots and waste Tanaka's talent, time, money, and sanity??? Tommy said no you are going to be yourself. This is going to be you looking up north and giving them the finger. So obviously I said yea. So I show up at the building excited and pumped! If you say the PPV you say Axl and I with our new gear. For once we looked like a real tag team. No ripped jeans or anything. So we went and did it. We went put there as a 3 man unit, referring to Bubba, Devon, and I, and did what we had to do and I think the fans went home happy. We should have came back for TV the next night but thanks to a certain somebody I was f***ed over once again. But overall I had a great time and was treated very, very well." When asked about possibly competing for TNA in the future as apart of EV2.0 Balls had the following to say (Also comments on being held back and screwed over by Axl Rotten)...
"I hope what Bubba, Devon, and I pulled off at the PPV was enough to save my ass for any work in the future. As I said I was f***ed over by a certain somebody but that's all I'm going to say about that at the current moment. I mean I'm also kind of nervous too. I have a wife, and a kid, and have to put food on the table and all this and that. I can't just keep working these indies. I think another thing is that the office doesn't understand my versatility. My amateur and actual wrestling ability. Just check out some classics I've had with Rob Van Dam in ECW. Speaks for itself. But nevertheless I hope to be a full time member of EV2.0 in TNA within the next month or so. This is really my only last opportunity to make some money and perform for a national audience again. I've just been f***ed over so many times dealing with Axl. I can honestly say now I will NEVER team with Axl Rotten again. If WWE or TNA called me up and said we want you to come in and team with Axl of course I'd have to say yes but otherwise it isn't ever going to happen again. I can't be his baby sitter anymore. I have a kid now. I have a family. I'm not going to deal with what I dealt with regarding Axl at Hardcore Justice at 12:00, 1:30, 4:00, and then again right before the match just to make sure the match would still be on. Axl has f***ed me over for the last time."
When asked if he thinks it would be successful for TNA to bring back a version of ECW Balls said the following... "Yes. If it was done right. If done intelligently it would be a money making thing for TNA and the wrestlers alike. They could do what WWE failed to do." Other topics included...

Update on Lashley's condition after MMA loss Posted by Corbin Nordhoff on 08/22/2010 at 04:41 AM
Following his loss at Saturday night's Strikeforce event, Bobby Lashley was taken to a local hospital.
According to PWTorch.com, he was extremely dehydrated after the fight but ended up being released from the hospital. At first, there was fear his condition was worse and he would need to stay in the hospital overnight.
FRESNO, Calif. With just one week to go until the NXT season two finale, the last three NXT Rookies had their knowledge of WWE history put to the test for an exclusive WWE.com takeover at the most critical moment as the WWE Universe prepares to help determine WWEs next breakout star.
Dashing Cody Rhodes def. MVP (PHOTOS | WATCH) With both of their Rookies eliminated the previous week on WWE NXT, MVP and Dashing Cody Rhodes were done talking and ready to get down to business inside of the ring. While Rhodes initially denied Kavals challenge, he accepted The Ballin Superstars request and the second-generation competitor was out to silence his critics and prove that he is on a higher level than both the NXT Rookies and his fellow Pros. The execution of a jarring Cross Rhodes gave The Dashing Superstar a convincing victory over MVP and suggested that perhaps Rhodes can actually back up his endless talk.
Kaval won the WWE Trivia Challenge (PHOTOS | WATCH) In order to be a successful WWE Superstar, one must appreciate and acknowledge the history of what has come before them. There is no history richer than that of WWE, and the NXT Rookies knowledge of Superstars and events of days past was put to the test.
While the son of Mr. Perfect Curt Hennig, Michael McGillicutty, seemed to be the early favorite, Kaval quickly demonstrated his familiarity with Superstars and WWE moments, past and present. The two Rookies remained neck and neck while varsity letterman Alex Riley would essentially flunk, answering only one question correctly. At the end of the competition, Kaval scored the most points to secure a victory. With his win, the NXT Rookie earned a special feature on WWE.com beginning at midnight ET, following the conclusion of WWE NXT.
Kaval challenged Dashing Cody Rhodes (PHOTOS | WATCH) After last weeks shocking double elimination, the three remaining NXT Rookies Kaval, Alex Riley and Michael McGillicutty have very few chances left to prove why they are WWEs next breakout star. NXT host Matt Striker asked each of the Rookies how it felt to be a finalist in the competition. When Kaval took the microphone, he first thanked the WWE Universe and then immediately set his sights on Dashing Cody Rhodes, who assaulted the NXT Rookie following Husky Harris elimination last week.
Kaval challenged Rhodes to a match, but the SmackDown Superstar told the Rookie that they were not on the same level and denied the request. This prompted WWE Pro MVP to confront Rhodes and issue his own challenge for later in the evening, which the Dashing Superstar accepted.
Tune in live to WWE NXT for the season two finale and be sure to cast your vote beginning at 12 noon ET for the NXT Rookie you believe is WWE's next breakout star.

Traci Brooks comments on Playboy shoot and more Posted by Corbin Nordhoff on 08/20/2010 at 04:28 PM
Traci Brooks has been in our crazy business for the better part of a decade. But, she burst onto the scene in TNA over 7 years ago and was one of the longest running TNA Knockouts ever. In the Fall of 2009, she appeared in on Playboys website with a pictoral that 6,000,000 had the chance to see.
She left TNA since that time and hasnt opened up much as to why. That is, until The Interactive Interview asked her to come back on the show!

TRACI BROOKS
- Our interview with Traci Brooks begins with a discussion about being a Canadian working in the States and all the paperwork & complications involved. Traci does clarify that her having to work on this had nothing to do with her leaving TNA. She says that everything is fine, straight, & up to date.
- Traci loved doing Playboy, says it was a great experience, & was treated very well. In regards to not getting into the magazine, she puts to rest a couple of rumors. She says that she was not supposed to get the cover, so she wasnt actually bumped off by Marge Simpson. Her being taken out of the magazine was to make room for a tribute to Farah Fawcett, who had just past away in the months leading up to the magazines release.
- She also says that being posted on the net was really good for her since magazine subscriptions are down and internet subscriptions are way up. She was also happy that more of her pictures got to be seen.
- There was a rumor that a new editor took over for Playboy and didnt want wrestling women involved with Playboy, and Traci hopes that its not true since it is good publicity for the wrestling company & a great experience for the girls that get to do it.
- She didnt get to meet Huge Heffner, but was treated extremely well from start to finish. She also says that the last day of the shoot was her birthday and they gave her a nice party.
- Traci was disappointed that she wasnt used more by TNA during the time of her shoot. Playboy advertised for TNA, and said she was going to appear at Bound for Glory, and she wasnt featured. She has no hard feelings towards TNA & says they were her family, but wishes things had been handled better.
- Right now, shes having a lot of fun doing the Independents & Conventions. She points out that when she started in 2001, it was mostly just her and a handful of others, but now the women in wrestling are far more common.
- Shes never worked with Mickie James and would love to make that match happen. As for going up to WWE with her friends Gail Kim & Beth Phoenix, she says that its not something she is interested in. She also says shes sure there would be no hard feelings over the Cookie Gate scene from 2004 as it wasnt really that big of a deal.
- When talking about the current state of the Knockouts Division, she is a little surprised over the girls theyve released. She feels like its a mostly blondes now and they need more variety & diversity in talents & characters. She also doesnt thing the division is deep enough at the moment to support a set of Tag Titles.
Seven wrestlers removed from TNA's roster Posted by Corbin Nordhoff on 08/20/2010 at 03:27 AM
In addition to Homicide, it would appear that both Tomko and Rosie Lottalove have parted ways with TNA Wrestling as their respective profiles were removed from the company websites roster page Thursday. All three were sparingly used in recent months.
In Homicides case, he noted on his social networking accounts earlier in the day that he had parted ways with the organization. Meanwhile, Lottaloves photo gallery was removed from the Knockouts media section.
Scott Hall, Sean Waltman, Daniels and ODB were also removed from the page, though their respective TNA departures were noted months ago.
