Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben
Roethlisberger comes out to the ramp and fluffs up the Wilkes-Barre crowd. He
said they have a big night ahead of them and that they wouldn’t waste any time
getting things going. He announced the first diva bowl.
Diva Bowl
A brawl broke out to start before Layla flopped for the heck of it. No,
seriously, it was probably the best thing about the match. Mickie took turns
turning and burning on the heels before everyone began diving in the ring and
doing Jersey All Pro set spots. Mickie hit her finisher and then rolled up
Alicia.
Winners: The Baby face Divas via pin fall
WWE Champion Randy Orton’s music hit and he came out to the ring as we went to
commercial.
****Commercial****
Orton was in the ring and put his win over from the Hell in a Cell pay per view
last night. He said he proved he didn’t need anyone to follow through on his
word. He said John Cena might as well not bother waiting around, and he could
come out and request his rematch.
Sure enough, Cena came out to the ring. He congratulated Orton on his win and
put over what their rivalry had become. He said he did intend to use his rematch
clause, but wanted their last match to be a special one. He suggested that at
Bragging Rights, they have an Iron Man Match. Orton told him ‘not so fast’. He
said if there was any rematch, it’d be on his terms. He said there’d be an iron
man match but it’d be no dq, no count-out. He said if Cena lost, he’d be off
Raw. Cena shook hands and agreed to the match.

Primo.
Swagger hammered away on Primo’s back before connecting with a belly to belly
throw for a two count. Swagger slapped on a bear hug before moving Primo to the
corner. He hit a shoulder thrust, only for Primo to duck the third and attempt a
sunset flip for a two count. Swagger kicked out and powered Primo to the corner
to hit some more big right hands.
Primo fought back briefly and then hit a drop kick for a one count. Primo looked
for a springboard cross body block, but Swagger connected with a huge boot to
the ribs. Swagger scooped up Primo and hit a big doctor bomb and that’s all she
wrote.

Santino tried to get the divas to ‘kiss and make up’. It didn’t work.
The Miz walked in on Ben Roethlisberger. He wants a shot against Kofi Kingston
tonight. His backhanded comments don’t help him out too much. Finally, Ben gives
him the match on one condition: that he gets on the mic if he loses and says;
“I’m the Miz and I’m awful”. Miz reluctantly agrees.

When Jericho realized it was just him and DX, he took off for the back only for
Big Ben and his offensive line to come out to the ramp and cut him off. Jericho
was rushed back to the ring and he ate a big sweet chin music. That’s all she
wrote.
