This was an OK opener as Layla is gradually improving in her athleticism in the ring against a more experienced Mickie James. Mickie James made work out of Layla and finished her off with a Long Kiss Goodnight for the win.

Mickie James beat Layla (3:54)

A very athletic and intense(when Finlay got in the ring) match as Shelton Benjamin displayed charisma and chemistry with Dolph Ziggler and even Zack Ryder. Shelton Benjamin really shined in this match and hit the Paydirt on Ryder for the win.

The Miz is ssen preparing for his match tonight when his opponent John Morrison appears

Miz: Well, Well, Well... Look at what the cat dragged in.

Morrison: I know but he also brought in the new John Morrison DVD with him, in stores now at WWEshop.com

Miz: Ha ha ha, very funny but it won't be any humor when I'm in the ring beating you down and giving you a reality check.

Morrison: Isn't that what Daniel Bryan gave you

Miz snarls at Morrison as he wants to already pummel his opponent

Morrison: Don't matter though, see you in the ring.

Miz is flustered by Morrison's words but continues to prepare for his match

Striker: Welcome back to Friday Night Smackdown! on NBC. Wrestlemania 26 comes to you live from Phoenix, Arizona, March 28th and only on Pay-Per-View.

This was perhaps on the best matches of the night as both men have history with each other by being not only WWE Unified Tag Team Champions but also

been cited as future WWE Champions. This, along with the last match was just as exciting to watch that was until...

Gong Sound and Darkness...Lights come back and The Undertaker appears in the ring ready to assault both The Miz and John Morrison with Daniel Bryan looking on.

Striker: Looks like we were treated to an exciting match but The Undertaker's presence had to be felt as he decimated both Miz and Morrison to make a statement as he cleared house and intimidated Daniel Bryan from not entering the ring.

The Miz vs. John Morrison went to a no-contest

What looked like what was going to be a squash match for McIntyre to gain some momentum turned out to be an exciting and surprising match to say the least as McIntyre(still combining his technical skills with the lucha libre style) against Slam Master J. This match had to make up for the last one which was exciting but this match saw Slam Master J showing some signs of a comeback many times against McIntyre. In the end, A Futureshock DDT sealed the deal for McIntyre as he picked up the win.

Drew McIntyre beat Slam Master J (8:15)

After the match, McIntyre grabs a microphone and discuss his plans for Wrestlemania

http://i781.photobucket.com/albums/yy100/edas000/Champions/Intercontinental/thDrew_McIntyre6.jpg

McIntyre: Wrestlemania is less than 2 weeks away and while I didn't qualify for the Money In The Bank Ladder Match, Mr.McMahon has "expunged" that loss but I also have a thorn in my side and that's that masked moron, El Hijo De Santo... Santo, if you want a shot at me at Wrestlemania here's your chance.

Drew McIntyre waits in the ring for El Hijo De Santo to emerge from the ramp but keeps McIntyre guessing when is he going to show up.

McIntyre: Come on, I don't have all night, Santo.

El Hijo De Santo emerges from the crowd behind McIntyre and attacks from him behind.

Match 5:

Kane and Matt Hardy vs. El Hijo De Perro and Electroshock

This match was kinda entertaining to say the least when Matt Hardy and El Hijo De Perro got into the ring almost as if they were a mirror of each other. When Kane and Electroshock got into the ring,it was almost as if people really didn't care for it but they try to capture the imagination enough to build up some heat. What I would suggest is that both Kane and Electroshock should be in a unchained storyline to ultimately building up an actual feud. Hardy used his Twist of Fate on Perro followed by a Tombstone Piledriver by Kane on Electroshock for the win.

Vickie: I don't know what you were thinking beating down Drew McIntyre but if he wants a match against you at Wrestlemania, forget it.

Santo: Vickie, Vickie...You have to understand that I want to have this match with Drew McIntyre for the WWE Intercontinental Championship and to prove that luchadors are the best wrestlers in the world.

Vickie: That would be good in all except...THIS IS NOT MEXICO!!!

Drew McIntyre enters the office

McIntyre: Santo, I just got off the phone with McMahon and if you want a match at Wrestlemania for the WWE Intercontinental Championship, then you're going to have to beat me next week.

Santo: You got it.

Vickie: Excuse me!!! Excuse me!!! Mr. McMahon told me differently. At Wrestlemania, you will be facing El Hijo De Santo for the WWE Intercontinental Championship and if you lose Drew McIntyre, that will be your first and official loss.

Santo: I want that title.

Jackson: Before we begin this match, I would like to introduce a new Championship. Gone was the ECW Championship and now arrives the dawn of a new championship...I give you...The WWE Universe Championship

Jackson holds the newly polished championship high above his head to reveal to the WWE Universe itself.

Jackson then takes the belt and beams Mistico over the head with it as the match starts

The match begins with Jackson dominating and brutalizing Mistico the entire match. Rey Mysterio was reluctant to get in the match and help his fellow luchador but Luke Gallows, Serena, and even CM Punk's NXT Rookie, Darren Young all distracted Mysterio as Mistico tried to go for the tag. CM Punk added much damage to Mistico as he even try to rip Mistico's mask. Mistico countered and almost got a 3 count on Punk. Mistico countered CM Punk's Go To Sleep several times and eventually tagged in Rey Mysterio, who went into a fury pummeling CM Punk.Mistico plancha dived onto Jackson, Gallows, Serena, and Darren Young laying out all four of them. Mysterio countered Punk's GTS with a hurricanrana followed by the 619 and the pin.

Rey Mysterio and Mistico beat Ezekiel Jackson and CM Punk (10:27)

After the match, Chris Jericho comes in and knocks Rey Mysterio out with the World Heavyweight Championship belt and continues to beat up on him when Edge makes the save.

Cole: We welcome to another edition of Monday Night RAW!! Michael Cole alongside Jerry "The King" Lawler and tonight we have all 3 Wrestlemania Rewind Main Events with Triple H and Randy Orton, Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Jericho and John Cena vs. Big Show

Lawler: This looks like an exciting Monday Night RAW, Cole, So let's get into the action with our first match.

Match 1:

Kazuchika Okada and Primo vs. Ultimo Dragon and Chavo Guerrero

This was perhaps a "walk in the park" for both Ultimo and Chavo as they completely decimated Okada and Primo. Okada was dazed as was Primo and Chavo hit the Frog Splash on Okada for the pin.

Tanahashi: Cena-San, I know you are preparing for your match against Big Show and I was hoping to help you out against Big Show

Cena: Thanks, Tanahashi but this is a Wrestlemania Rewind match meaning this match is rematch for Big Show to get revenge on me and furthermore you weren't even at Wrestlemania 20 to be exact for that match

Tanahashi: But Wrestlemania 26 will be my very first Wrestlemania as I will be competiting against both Triple H-San and Sheamus-San.

Kelly Kelly is showing an improvement in her athleticism in this match as well as Eve. Jillian's Japanese Pop Star gimmick is still going as she is now learning to "sing" in Japanese. Maryse shined in this match as she began using submissions and even aerial attacks in the ring. Maryse won the match using her signature DDT for the win.

This match was the clash of the highflyers (Tatsu, Marufuji, and Kofi) against the combination of the powerhouse (Swagger) and the technicians (Rhodes and Dibiase) and this was a very entertaining match to say the least. Marufuji and Dibiase showed some chemistry given their time together back in Japan , which was highlighted very often during the match. Marufuji's Pole Shift won his team the match.

At Wrestlemania 25, Triple H and Randy Orton collided in what can be acclaimed as the most intense WWE World Heavyweight Championship in Wrestlemania history. Dating back to their Evolution days, both Triple H and Orton know each other's intentions all too well and this match was pretty even. There were times that Orton had control and there were times Triple H had control over the match. Triple began to set up the Pedigree when the Legacy emerged from the locker room and attack Orton and Triple H.

The Legacy attack both Triple H and Orton as they begin their assault on the two men.

This match started out with Faby and Marcela displaying their lucha libre know how on McCool and Layla. In respone to the quick lucha libre style of Faby and Marcela, McCool and Layla used their sneaky double teaming tactics on Faby isolating her from her tag team partner. Faby quickly turned the momentum in favor of her team as she kicked Layla and scurried over to Marcela for the tag. Building on that momentum, Marcela began clotheslining both McCool and Layla and put Layla under a surfboard submission hold. Just as Layla was about to tap out, McCool bashes Marcela over the head with the Women's Championship belt.

The on-going rivalry between Cryme Tyme and The Hart Dynasty interjected itself with the feud of Shelton Benjamin and Dolph Ziggler. Lots of chemistry was shown with the usual (Shelton and Dolph as well as Cryme Tyme and The Hart Dynasty) and some new chemisty with Tyson Kidd and Shelton Benjamin,, and JTG and Dolph Ziggler. This was a good 6 man tag match and it ended with a paydirt by Shelton Benjamin on Tyson Kidd for the win.

This match was for Zack Ryder to generate some heel heat as he began calling himself "The King of Long Island" and that the people in Los Angeles are "his subjects". Nevertheless, Matt Hardy and to some extent, Justin Gabriel, took it upon themselves to dethrone Zack Ryder with a Twist o Fate for the win.

Simply put this match as "The Battle of the NXT Mentors" as R-Truth and The Miz went toe to toe before their inevitable WWE Unified Tag Team Championship match at Wrestlemania 26. This match also generated some potential heel heat for David Otunga ringside. The Miz was in control of this match but when he was lecturing to Daniel Bryan on how to win a match when R-Truth turned the tide of the match in his favor and was about to put this match away when Daniel Bryan accidentally shoved Miz right into R-Truth's Axe Kick for the win.

It was the powerhouse Ezekiel Jackson and the technically skilled Drew McIntyre (who is improving in his lucha libre style moves) vs. two of Mexico's legendary luchadors, Mistico and El Hijo De Santo. This match started out with an intense battle in the ring with both McIntyre and Mistico. Mistico showed his intensity just enough to get Jackson involved in the match to further intensify the match. El Hijo De Santo made his presence with his lucha libre know how on Jackson and even McIntyre. Mistico used the La Mistica on McIntyre for the win.

This was a good main event match but it would've been better if CM Punk was in the match but either way it was entertaining nonetheless. Luke Gallows seemed to slow down the speed of the match when he got in the ring. Punk's interference during the match help Jericho and Gallows gain a victory over both Edge and Mysterio.

This match was a good opener to say the least and it has that old "WCW Cruiserweight Match" feel. There were many times that Cole refrained from comparing Devitt to the likes of Brian Pillman and especially Chris Benoit. Devitt and Liger looked sharp in the ring as close as possible but the experienced Liger overtook the match and won the match with a visually-stunning Shooting Star Press.

A very solid match as these two men both Tatsu and Carlito squared off.

This match was just a warm up for the wrestlers participating in the Money In The Bank Ladder Match at Wrestlemania 26. Regal and Chavo were only fillers for this match but nevertheless it was nice to see them in the ring. Both Christian and Regal's NXT Rookies, Heath Slater and Skip Sheffield help their mentor's teams and even provided leverage throughout the match.

This was a very entertaining and fast-paced match but slowed down quickly when Big Show got in the ring and displayed his power on Marufuji and Kofi. Marufuji and Kofi quickly double-teamed Big Show but to no avail. Big Show looked to knock out Marufuji but ducked out of the way and hit the ring post. Big Show was hindered by Marufuji's effective kicks and Kofi's missile dropkick. Miz was tagged in and was double-teamed by both Marufuji and Kofi. a Pole Shift by Marufuji sealed the win for Kofi and Marufuji.

This was almost a let down given the fact that Vickie Guerrero didn't have any wrestling experience. Layla, who was playing the role of valet did most of the work while Vickie almost kept botching every move in the ring. The only thing Vickie could do besides slapping and simple takedowns and that was about it. Michelle McCool carried the load of her team and to some extent, Layla. The combination of Faby's lucha libre background and the powerhouse Beth Phoenix got the win when Phoenix used the Glam Slam on McCool.

The feud between both Cryme Tyme and The Hart Dynasty is slowly but surely building up and it should lead into a title hunt for the WWE Unified Tag Team Championship sooner or later. The match between JTG and Tyson Kidd was a very solid match to say the least and it was very entertaining. This was a very even match until Tyson Kidd won the match by using illegal tactics and Nattie Neidhart and later David Hart Smith's interference on Shad.

This match did not sit well with the crowd.The only reason why Electroshock is getting any kind of heat from the crowd at this point is that not he's a heel using illegal tactics to win a match, it's just that hte crowd really doesn't care much for him and that's what Finlay was feeding off of the entire match and swung the momentum in his favor. It looked like Finlay was going for the Celtic Cross but Electroshock reversed Finlay's signature move and used the Electro Lock on Finlay to get the win.

This match made up for the last one as the powerhouse Ezekiel Jackson took on the legendary luchador, El Hijo De Santo. This match was epic on a scale of 1-10, this had to be a 9 given the way these two men wrestled against each other.

This should've been the main event for last week's Smackdown but nevertheless, we were treated to a preview of both Wrestlemania matches as Edge and Jericho faced off as well as Mysterio and Punk. The match got entertaining and exciting until Jericho got himself disqualified on purpose.

J.R.: We welcome you to WrestleMania 26 in beautiful Phoenix, Arizona inside the University of Phoenix Stadium!!! Jim Ross alongside my colleague and fellow WWE Hall of Famer, Jerry "The King" Lawler and tonight get ready for a show of epic proportions as the WWE Championship and World Heavyweight Championships are both on the line.

Lawler: That's not all, we also have the Money In The Bank Ladder Match and the no-disqualification "Career vs. Streak" match as The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels go head to head tonight.

Match 1:

Kofi Kingston and Naomichi Marufuji vs. El Hijo De Perro Agauyo and Electroshock

http://i781.photobucket.com/albums/yy100/edas000/Wrestlers/K%20Images/Kofi_Kingston.jpghttp://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w15/TheWho87EWR/Wrestlers/KyKy/N%20Images/Naomichi_Marufuji.jpgvs. http://www.vanguardia.com.mx/XStatic/vanguardia/images/espanol/perro201209.jpghttp://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zoNnYvg7g5w/StVfnxSW1TI/AAAAAAAAAB4/oRGFs65pnQI/s400/electroshock.jpg

This was a very exciting opener as WrestleMania got under way as the teams of Kofi Kingston and Naomichi Marufuji (who received a huge pop) and El Hijo De Perro Agauyo and Electroshock kept the fans on the edge of their seats and some on their feet. Electroshock, who the fans really didn't care for, started to gain some huge pops from the fans for his lucha libre know-how on both Kofi and Marufuji. Not to be outdone, El Hijo De Perro Agauyo, also displayed his lucha libre knowledge on both Kofi and Marufuji as well. Kofi and Marufuji took to the air and dropkicked Electroshock followed by double teaming Agauyo. In the end, Marufuji used a Shiranui on Agauyo for the win.

Before the match began, Mistico had not only a huge pop from the crowd but also a pre-match entrance similar to that of Shawn Michaels' entrance from last year's WrestleMania as he descended from the top of the titantron and unto the ramp to make his entrance. To make this match very epic, Ezekiel Jackson began quoting verses from The Book of Ezekiel as a diss towards Mistico. The match started off with a test-of-strength that saw Jackson power down Mistico but Mistico used his lucha-libre tactics to turn the tide in his favor. The powerhouse Jackson and the legendary luchador Mistico fought over who would gain control of the match but it was a surprisingly even battle throughout the match as either man put on a show and kept the crowd going and the energy was high for this match. Jackson knew what was on the line and so did Mistico. The match was back and forth all the way until Mistico used the La Mistica on Jackson and made him tap out to become not only the 2nd WWE Universe Champion but also the first Mexican-born WWE Universe Champion as well.

This match was nothing but eye candy for the fans(if you want to call Vickie Guerrero eye candy) but overall it kinda dragged down the momentum of the show a little. All the divas in this match showed a lot of athleticism in the ring but Vickie Guerrero herself is no wrestler and instead they should've had Jillian for this match but instead went for the whold entertainment eye candy route. decent match nonetheless but Vickie Guerrero's team takes this one.

Simply put this match as the icing on the cake for the whole "Destruction of the Legacy" storyline as both Rhodes and Dibiase would double team Orton throughout the match. The only drawback these two had going into the match was that both men wanted to be the one that pins Orton. Eventually, both Rhodes and Dibiase started to battle themselves not knowing that Orton had now fully recovered from their onslaught. It also didn't help Rhodes and Dibiase that Antonio Inoki arrived on the scene to further cause trouble for the both of them as he slapped both men allowing Orton to pull off a Double RKO for the victory.

This ordinarily would be featured more likely on a RAW or Smackdown show but instead the pre-match entrance for John Morrison's Rock Band being accompanied by R-Truth and a lot of Pyro set the tone for the match. All was going well for R-Truth and John Morrison when The Miz broke up their the pinfall followed by Big Show's knockout punch to Morrison for the win.

This was definitely an epic ladder match with lots of high flying spots from Dolph Ziggler, Christian, Shelton Benjamin, and especially Evan Bourne, who pulled off a Shooting Star Press off the top of the ladder. Shelton Benjamin and Jack Swagger were the two men in the end climbing the ladder to grab the briefcase but in the end, Swagger won the Money In The Bank Ladder Match.

This match really had the crowd going from the pre-match entrances to the amazing chemistry that Hiroshi Tanahashi and Sheamus as well as the chemistry between Tanahashi and Triple H. There were near falls from Tanahashi pinning Triple H to Sheamus almost getting a win over both Tanahashi and Triple H. In the end, Triple H hits the pedigree on Sheamus for the win.

Simply put "Do or Die" for Rey Mysterio as he went in with a possibility of becoming a member of the Straight Edge Society. With Luke Gallows and Serena in tow, it looked like CM Punk would not only gain an advantage in numbers gain but also would have a lot going for him. Nevertheless, Mysterio showed his resiliency as he battled forth against CM Punk. There were many times, Punk had the victory using the GTS and even the Anaconda Vis, but Mysterio reversed the GTS and hit the 619 for the win.

13 years ago, Bret Hart was screwed by Vince McMahon when he lost the WWE Championship at Survivor Series...13 years later, Bret would get his retribution against Vince McMahon. When Bret Hart made his way to the ring, it was perhaps the hugest pop of the night as he entered the arena ready to fight against Vince McMahon. There was a sense of tension in the arena as the fans remained silent until the bell sounded and the fans were in a frenzy chanting "Get 'em Bret" got louder and louder. Bret held nothing back but there was no need to as he relentlessly pounded away at Vince. Bret finally and we mean FINALLY put Vince away with his signature Sharpshooter to much of the crowds' frenzied delight.

This was truly a chance for Edge to gain revenge on the one man who neglected him and left him to be on the shelf for 6 months in Chris Jericho. This was truly a back and forth match until Jericho gained control of the match. Edge began fighting out of the Walls of Jericho and began fighting and swinging the momentum in his favor as he powered his way to almost winning the World Title. The fans began chanting "Spear, Spear, Spear" as Edge got ready to dismember Jericho but Jericho wisely side-stepped the spear and rolled Edge up by grabbing his tights to win the match.

Yet another epic title match as the "Undefeated" Drew McIntyre battled against the legendary Mexican luchador, El Hijo De Santo. At this point, McIntyre, who had been experimenting with the lucha libre style ever since Smackdown's partnership with Mexico, was now confident enough to utilize some of that lucha libre on the legendary luchador. It was back and forth fast paced lucha libre style wrestling at the beginning but slowed down when McIntyre used his intense and technical style. Santo would later turn the tide around as he gained momentum but McIntyre would head him off and go for a Futureshock DDT but Santo reversed it and went for La De a Caballo for the win and his first ever WWE Intercontinental Championship.

This was basically a match of both men who shot to stardom at WrestleMania 21 winning the World Heavyweight Championship and WWE Championship respectfully. Five years later, Batista and John Cena now battle each other for the right to be called WWE Champion. Right off the bat this was a knock-down, drag-out brawl as Batista and Cena went at each other but the match later turned into a show of who can out muscle the other as Batista and Cena displayed their strength and power. It was clearly a modern day clash of the titans between these two men. It looked like Batista was about to win the match and put Cena on the shelf with a Batista Bomb but Cena reversed it with an Attitude Adjustment to become the WWE Champion.

The stack was decked against Shawn Michaels as went in to this match hoping to not only win this match and keep his career going but also become the first man to beat the Undertaker at WrestleMania. There was a sense of tension and dead silence as both men glared into each other's eyes as HBK was determine to win the match and Undertaker to keep his streak intact. If you thought the original meeting between these two men was epic, their rematch was just as epic if not twice as that as these two men battled all over the arena as the ring wasn't enough to contain these two men from doing a high amount of damage to each other. This was truly a main event to be remembered in WrestleMania's 26-year-history as these two legends fought all over Phoenix but it still kept the fans on their feet entirely from start to finish. It looked like HBK was going to put some Sweet Chin Music to The Undertaker but The Undertaker clotheslined HBK followed by a Last Ride for the win and to go 18-0.

This was a very exciting opening match to start off RAW. Yoshi Tatsu is really coming into his own and in this match, he served well as the leader for his team against the wily veteran team of Ultimo, Liger, and Chavo. This six man match was also like a classic WCW Cruiserweight style match although that's not what Vince probably wants to hear about. This match was exciting from beginning to end and ended with a roundhouse kick by Tatsu to Chavo for the pin.

A very solid match but nevertheless, but it was good to see some technical wrestling in the ring followed by a few cheap shots from Regal. Tanahashi mounted a comeback with a Sling Blade followed by his High Fly Flow frog splash to get the win over Regal.

The history between both Cena and Orton as well as Orton and Batista goes way back. The chemistry between both Cena and Orton is amazing especially as a tag team. Very interesting how both Cena and Orton use double team attacks on Batista yet they isolate Swagger a few times during the match. In the end, an RKO from Orton and a STF from Cena sealed the fate of the team of Batista and Swagger.

Grisham: We welcome to Friday Night Smackdown!!! Todd Grisham alongside the host of NXT, Matt Striker and tonight, we have a huge main event match as WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Chris Jericho takes on the Money In The Bank champion, Jack Swagger.

This wasn't a bad match to begin with but there were some things that could've been made differently like working on a connection in the ring between Layla ad Beth Phoenix. Clearly, Lay-Cool are just eye candy compared to the lovely yet talented Beth Phoenix and Marcela. Marcela really shined in this match showing her lucha libre prowess in the ring and Beth Phoenix with her amazing strength. In the end, Phoenix's Glam Slam sealed the win for her team as she pinned McCool.

This match did not sit well with not only the NXT Rookies but also the WWE Universe as well. Fresh off his Money In The Bank Ladder Match at WrestleMania, Kane decided to go another route from his stalling feud with Electroshock and focus randomly on the NXT Rookies for a gauntlet match. The moment this match started, Daniel Bryan was the first NXT Rookie to be eliminated followed by Darren Young and Skip Sheffield. David Otunga and Wade Barrett double teamed The Big Red Machine but to no avail costing Barrett to be eliminated. Justin Gabriel and Heath Slater took to the air to knock down Kane leaving only Michael Tarver to do one thing... Grab a chair and knock Kane out causing a disqualification for his team.

This wasn't a good match as far as I can tell. Khali looked lost trying to connect in the ring against Ziggler but it really took away from the match, sort of like a step down from the last match. The match ended shortly with a sleeper hold from Ziggler on Khali to seal the victory.

This match was a step up from the last two matches tonight. Drew McIntyre is still combining his technical in ring style with his newfound lucha libre moves. Speaking of lucha libre, Santo and Perro Agauyo put on a lucha libre clinic of their own followed by Matt Hardy when he got into the ring with Agauyo. This was a very entertaining and refreshing match but it had to end in a no contest thanks to McIntyre trying to rip open Santo's mask and trying to bust him open follow by a brawl at ringside between Agauyo and Hardy.

Swagger then takes the Money In The Bank Briefcase and smashes it over the head of Chris Jericho and hands it over to the referee to ring the bell to make it official that a WWE World Heavyweight Championship match.

With Jericho down, Swagger relentlessly assaulted him and beaten him down until Swagger used the Gutwrench Powerbomb to seal the shocking win and to become the WWE World Heavyweight Champion.

A very good opener to say the least as the powerful Sheamus and athletically entertaining Kofi Kingston clashed in the ring. This was a good showing between both Kofi and Sheamus as the momentum in that match shifted many times. During the match, Sheamus pulled out a lead pipe to smash over the head of Kofi but Kofi ducked underneath and caught Sheamus with a roundhouse kick. All was going well for Kofi until Sheamus used the Celtic Cross as a reversal for the pin.

Sheamus: That's really funny, Triple H, though I had the last laugh when I blasted you over the head with this here pipe.

Triple H: That's really funny knowing you had the last laugh when you blasted me with that pipe in your hand but let's see who'll be laughing when I knock you out with a weapon of my own.

Triple H heads down to the ring, pulls an apron and grabs his signature sledgehammer. Triple H heads into the ring as Sheamus backs away and leaves the ring.

This wasn't a bad match to say the least but these girls are trying to prove that they can take bumps just like the guys let alone their counterparts, the Joshi (women wrestlers) from Japan. These girls brought out the best in each other as much as possible. In the end, Eve schoolboys Gail Kim for the win and the right to face Maryse next week when RAW goes to Tokyo.

This match showcased what some of Japan's best wrestlers (Marufuji, Tanahashi, and especially Ultimo) and the technical know how skill that Cody Rhodes possessed. Quite a very good match to say the least and that this tag team match didn't disappoint the fans. Tanahashi and Marufuji showed some chemistry working as a team but it was the chemistry between both Ultimo and Marufuji as well as Rhodes and Marufuji that won the fans over. All it took was a High Fly Flow from Tanahashi on Rhodes to get the win.

This match didn't settle too well with the crowd as this one was just an NXT Rookie (who won a NXT Battle Royal) teaming up with a WWE Champion in John Cena against Show-Miz. Cena had to carry the whole for his team as Otunga just stood there acting he wanted to get a tag but realy just stalled his time. Bad enough, Otunga headed for the ramp leaving Cena to get a Reality Check from Miz for the win.

It was a good match to say the least and although CM Punk was in his hometown, it was Rey Mysterio who got the bigger pop than the Second City Saint. Mysterio's 619 sealed the deal for the win.

After the match, Rey Mysterio grabs a pair of clippers ready to shave CM Punk's hair off when Luke Gallows made the save.

Before the match began, Barreta and Croft made an announcement concerning the name of their team

Barreta: Now, before we began our match against the Fart Dynasty, Caylen and I came up with a cool name for our tag team.

Croft: You wanna know what it's called?

Both: The Dudebusters!!

We haven't seen Barreta and Croft-- I mean, The Dudebusters for a while ever since the last episode of ECW. A very entertaining tag match from beginning to end but The Hart Dynasty was the stronger team gaining a victory over the Dudebusters when David Hart Smith put Croft under the Sharpshooter to get the win. It also should be noted that after WrestleMania 26 with the Bret Hart and Vince McMahon match that The Hart Dynasty had turned face.

The Hart Dynasty beat The Dudebusters (6:33)

Match 3:

Drew McIntyre and Electroshock vs. Matt Hardy and El Hijo De Santo

http://i781.photobucket.com/albums/yy100/edas000/Wrestlers/D%20Images/Drew_Galloway12.jpghttp://euro.mediotiempo.com/media/2009/04/20/electroshock.jpgvs. http://i781.photobucket.com/albums/yy100/edas000/Wrestlers/M%20Images/thMatt_Hardy6.jpghttp://www.luchaworld.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/elhijodelsanto02.JPG

This match ranged from intense(whenever McIntyre or Electroshock got in the ring with Matt Hardy) to a lucha libre style match (whenever Santo got in the ring). For the moment, Electroshock has been placed in the feud between McIntyre and Santo as well as Matt Hardy. Lots of high flying spots in this match but McIntyre's Futureshock DDT sealed the win for his team as he pinned Matt Hardy.

Drew McIntyre and Electroshock beat Matt Hardy and El Hijo De Santo (8:56)

Match 4:

Jack Swagger vs. John Morrison

http://i781.photobucket.com/albums/yy100/edas000/Champions/World%20Heavyweight/thJack_Swaggerwhc.jpgvs.http://i781.photobucket.com/albums/yy100/edas000/Wrestlers/J%20Images/JohnMorrison.jpg

This match was the highlight of the night as Swagger and Morrison went toe to toe against each other. Both men were extremely athletic as these two put on a show in the ring. Morrison's high flying moves caught Swagger off guard many times but the brute strength of Swagger was able to turn the momentum in his favor. Swagger gained control of the match but Morrison started to make a comeback pulling off aerial attacks from the top rope. Morrison was about to put Swagger away with a Starship Pain but Swagger saw it coming and caught Morrison with a powerbomb for the win.

Jack Swagger beat John Morrison (11:13)

Match 5:

WrestleMania Rematch

Edge vs. Chris Jericho

http://i781.photobucket.com/albums/yy100/edas000/Wrestlers/E%20Images/2re79zo.jpgvs.http://i781.photobucket.com/albums/yy100/edas000/Wrestlers/C%20Images/CJericho.jpg

A rematch from WrestleMania 26, Edge wanted to redeem himself no less as he faced Chris Jericho. The match between both Edge and Jericho was just as intense as their previous encounter at WrestleMania. The momentum shifted back and forth between the two but ultimately the match then spread out on to ringside and later into the crowd resulting in a double count out.

Edge vs. Chris Jericho went to a double count out (11:30)
