"Another new Pay Per View for the WWE took place last night, and I'm making reference to Bragging Rights, of course, as it was a battle between both Raw and Smackdown.
"There were only 3 different Raw Vs Smackdown matches, therefore which ever show was to win 2 out of 3 matches, wins the Bragging Rights trophy that was located in front of the broadcast table. Here is how it all went.
The United States Champion, The Miz, wanted to prove to his former partner, the Intercontinetal Champion, John Morrison that he was the better man in the Miz/Morrison team. Morrison had other plans though. Definitely a great match to start off a great PPV, and let me say this, that at one point in the match, there was members of the WWE Universe chanting 'this is awesome', and believe me when I say that it was.
"I think that the rivalry that the Miz had with John Cena over the summer helped his wrestling ability out a great deal, and it showed during his match with Morrison, whose career has been doing nothing but look up ever since he was drafted to Smackdown back in April.
"I remember a little over a year ago on ECW when then General Manager, Teddy Long made a match between these 2, it looked to me that the Miz was too agile for Morrison, but last night, it appeared that the Miz knew him way too
well, as the Miz countered Morrison's Starship Pain to get the win, making the score Team Raw: 1 and Team Smackdown: 0
"It was a must win for Team Smackdown as the WWE Women's Champion, Michelle McCool, the Glamazon, Beth Phoenix and Natalya took on from RAW, Gail Kim, Kelly Kelly, and the WWE Divas Champion, Melina.
"For the Glamazon it was her first match since the divas trade made by Nancy O'Dell. This gave the Glamazon a chance to get her career back on track after that thing she had with Santino Marella.
"The WWE BTS people had to have seen that it was throwing her off. The Glamazon gained redemption as she nailed Melina with the Glamslam to get the win, tying things up 1 To 1, but this win didn't come easy at all, as Gail Kim and Kelly Kelly really took the fight to the Smackdown Divas. As for WWE Women's Champion, Michelle McCool, well, I hope that she was taking notes, because I honestly feel that the Glamazon could be a major threat to the Women's Championship.
"Don't be surprised if the Glamazon herself ends up being the dominate Diva on Friday mights.
WATCH OUT MICHELLE MCCOOL, YOU HAVE GOT A REAL CHALLENGER.
"So the rubber match was the 14 man Tag match, and I'll be perfectly honest with you people, I wasn't surprised at all to see that match alone be the rubber match.
"Before the match however, Team Raw Co-Captain Triple H told his team that they have got to win tonight, and it appeared that Team Raw was showing a great deal of confidence going into this huge match.
TEAM RAW:
Triple H
Shawn Micheals
Jack Swagger
Mark Henry
Cody Rhodes
Kofi kingston
Big Show
-----vs.--------
TEAM SMACKDOWN:
Chris Jericho
Kane
Matt Hardy
R-Truth
The Hart Dynasty
"I'm going to be perfectly honest with you, this match was everything that I would expect it to be. After Team Smackdown changed after a nine-man Tag this past Friday night, we all knew that it was going to end up being an all out brawl.
"Kingston saw Jericho was motionless in the ring and was going to finish him off with help from the Big Show, but thanks to his betrayal when he chokeslammed Kingston and knocked out Triple H, Jericho gets the pin and Team Smackdown gets the Bragging Rights trophy. Later on after the match was over, Kingston and Cody Rhodes had an exchange of words which led to Cody attacking Kingston.

Fatal 4 way match for the World Heavyweight Championship:
The Undertaker[Champion]
CM Punk
Batista
Rey Mysterio
"The WWE Universe was thrown into a frenzy when the match got started as the tide of bedlam was shifting from one superstar to another, and the way that this match was going, it looked like any one of these great WWE Superstars was going to become champion.
"Towards the end, it looked like Batista was going to come out on top and win the World Heavyweight Championship, but Rey put a stop to that. The Animal then threw Rey out of the ring onto Punk.
"This allowed the Undertaker to nail the Animal with a Tombstone to get the win and retain the World Heavyweight Championship.
"Later after the match was over, the unthinkable happened, as the Animal, angry as hell, told the WWE Universe that he was sick of his best friend stabbing him in the back, making the WWE Universe and Rey more stunned when he said that he was going to rip his head off.
"The Animal did a number on his now former best friend.
Thanks, Batista! And to think, I bought your DVD a few days ago.

Anything Goes 60 Minute Iron Man Match For The WWE Championship:
JOHN CENA
-----vs------
RANDY ORTON
"This match was to be the final match of one of the greatest rivalries in WWE history, and it was a true classic.
"It is tough to talk about a match like this, so what I'm going to do is show the match scoreboard:
03:56 Cena wins first fall by submission
08:59 Orton wins by pinfall
16:45 Cena wins by a Pinfall with Orton, countering with an Attitude Adjustment, making this match even at 2 falls each
19:22 Cena wins by pinfall via Attitude Adjustment off the top rope
20:41 Orton wins by pinfall with Legacy attcking Cena, and Cena getting nailed by Dream Street
25:20 Orton wins by pinfall after Cena went through a light structure
32:43 Cena wins by pinfall with a small package
35:03 Orton wins by pinfall with Orton nailing Cena with a DDT from the ring apron onto the arena floor.
50:46 Cena wins by pinfall by giving Orton the Attitude Adjustment through the announce table
59:56 Cena wins by Submission with Orton tapping out to the STF
"After all that, John Cena is once again the WWE Champion, and is staying on Raw, but if Cena were to have lost, then we would have been seeing him on Friday nights.
"As for Randy Orton, based on the agreement that he made with Orton, it will be a while before he gets another crack at the WWE Championship.
"What a good Bragging Rights PPV it was and it was better than Hell in a Cell. Good job, WWE."
Good job, indeed. Let's hope RAW tonight is just as explosive as last night's Bragging Rights, and it's bound to be, especially with NASCAR'S Kyle Busch and 20-year old phenom Joey Logano hosting. Have a great day, everyone, and in the words of the Miz and Morrison, be jealous:D
