Are you ready? Then stop
questioning your heart and join me because it is time for Monday Night Raw!
RAW kicks off with the Nexus standing in the middle of the ring. They are
singing the glories of last week's RAW in which they destroyed the Undertaker
and defeated the team of 5 RAW Superstars. Each of the Nexus members take their
time explaining their exploits and putting over their dominance. In particular,
Slater puts over the fact that he pinned the WWE Champion, and Gabriel puts over
hitting the 450 Splash on both The Undertaker and John Cena in the same night.
Wade retakes the mic to proclaim that he "de-venomized" the Viper, by pinning
Randy Orton. In two weeks time, he is set to win the six pack challenge and
bring the WWE Championship to Nexus!
Randy Orton's music hits and he makes his way out to the entrance ramp. Orton
tells Wade to roll the footage of the countless times he has hit the RKO on the
Nexus members. Better yet, Orton vows to hit Wade with a RKO at Night of
Champions. Wade tells him that if he wants to be a tough guy, how about he comes
into the ring right now and just try to give him an RKO!
*GeneralMail Alert*
Last week was a historic night for Nexus as a unit, but tonight will be about
individuals. Tonight, for the first time ever Justin Gabriel will take on John
Cena in a 1-on-1 match. Plus Wade Barrett will face Randy Orton! To assure that
both matches are fair, Nexus will be banned from ringside for the evening.

Chris Jericho begins to make his way down to the ring for a match.
*GeneralMail Alert*
Last week when Edge and Jericho took themselves out of the main event, it was a
slap in the face to the WWE Universe and the General Manager. As a result, if
Edge and Jericho do not win their respective matches tonight, they will be
removed from the Six Pack Challenge at night of Champions.
Chris is screaming at Michael Cole demanding to know who the General Manager is,
but Cole just shrugs his shoulders.

As a result of this match, Chris Jericho will no longer be competing in the Six
Pack Challenge at Night of Champions! After the match there is pure shock on the
face of Chris Jericho. He appears as a tired competitor who struggles to get to
his feet. He sits on the ring steps, just trying to collect his thoughts. Chris
begins a slow walk to the back and the crowd starts up with a huge "Y2J" chant.

Divas' Championship Match
Melina v. Alicia Fox
Before the match, Alicia Fox has the microphone and informs Melina that she will
not be defending the Championship at Night of Champions, but instead, Fox will
be winning it from her tonight. Alicia goes on to say that she will take the
Title and go on to win at Night of Champions. Fox declares that once she does,
she will become the Undefined Woman's Champion! (Yes, she really did say
"undefined")
The match starts with Melina taking it right to Fox. She drops her with a split
legged punch, and then knocks her to the outside of the ring. Fox says she is
done and leaving, but Melina pulls her back into the ring. Fox is able to kick
out of a cover attempt, and then throws Melina head first into the second rope.
This allows her to grab the hair of Melina and slam her head to the mat. Melina
dodges a clothesline with the Matrix move, and attempt to send Fox outside the
ring with a hurricarana. It did not quite work out, so Fox pulls her back into
the ring. Melina grabs Fox and yells out with her signature primal scream. She
hits the Sunset Split, and this match is over!
Winner & STILL Diva's Champion: Melina
In the back Josh Mathews is with The Miz. Miz starts to talk and Mathews just
looks confused. There is something covered with a black drape, which Miz

but Miz tells him to scram.

In the back, Edge is talking to Zack Ryder. Zack is talking about the fact that
he understands the stress that Edge is under because he also used to be a Number
One Contender. As a result, he would like to face Edge tonight. Edge says that
he used to think Ryder was a tool, but now he actually likes him. Edge pleads
with the General Manager to make Ryder his opponent. Ryder does a "Woo Woo Woo
You Know It". Edge says that if Ryder's music does not play as his opponent,
then he will destroy the General Manager's laptop. Ryder finally realizes that
Edge had called him a tool. He explains that it hurt his feelings, bro. Edge
just walks away.
Ted Dibiase is in his locker room talking to his mom on the phone. This is made
evident when he says "I love you" and Maryse asks who it was. Maryse has a note
that Dibiase left in her dressing room which says, "I want you so bad". Ted says
that he did not leave the note. Further, he questions whether it was really for
Maryse, perhaps it was for him?. Maryse is angered and starts to rant in French.
Ted tries to get across that he has no idea what she is saying, but eventually
just walks away.

Wow, very anti-Cena sounding crowd tonight (Probably 60-40).
Cena starts the match by attempting to ground Gabriel. He locks on a leg
scissors hold. Cena uses his free hand to slap the chest of Justin. Gabriel is
able to to land a couple of kicks and punches. The two are trading blows back
and forth in what is turning out to be a fairly even turn about. Justin hits a

We come back and Miz is in the ring with his drape covered board. Miz says that
when he first started in the business, there were very few who were willing to
accept him. They said he should go back to reality television and MTV. He
started as the host of Smackdown, all whilst listening to people tell him that
he didn't belong in the business. Then, he became tag partners with John
Morrison. They said that he was just riding the coat tails of Morrison. Then, he
became the US Champion. But still, people said that it wasn't enough. But then,
he won Money in the Bank.
Miz says he has punched in his ticket to becoming the WWE Champion. Miz is on
the path to become the biggest star in company history. Miz calls for a drum
roll. The Miz unveils the black drape, and it is the cover of the newest WWE
Magazine, with Miz on the cover! The reason it means so much to him is because
as a kid he collected the magazines, dreaming to be on the cover. Miz finally
lets loose and says "I'm the Miz, and I'm Awesome!".
Daniel Bryan's music hits, and he makes his way down to the ring microphone in
hand. Bryan says, "Hi Mike Mizanin, my name is Daniel Bryan". Daniel says that
they have a lot in common. Such as the fact that people said he wouldn't make
it. Miz says the difference is that Daniel still hasn't made it. Daniel says he
might be right for instance, Bryan says that he came out to music that was
generic and he couldn't recognize. He has a $10 haircut. And, he has to wear his
ring attire in the back just so that security doesn't throw him out. Even still,
he had to show his ID three times!
Bryan says that despite all of that, he knows if he had a match for the UIS
Title, he would beat him. Miz says he agrees, that Bryan has a $10 hair cut.
Bryan counters by saying that if he beats him, maybe this would be the cover of
the magazine. On the Titantron appears a magazine with a picture of Miz in the
crossface (which we are calling the Labelle Lock apparently) and it says "Miz
Taps".
They start to banter back and forth, but Bryan interrupts and gets straight to
the point. He asks Miz yes or no, match at Night of Champions for the US Title?
The Miz says.... Yes!!!!
Miz tries to hit a cheap shot, but Bryan sees it coming and locks on the Labelle
Lock! Alex Riley comes out of the crowd to make the save. Bryan manages to knock
Riley back and send Miz outside of the ring. Daniel then locks the Labelle Lock
onto Riley! Miz can only look on as his NXT Rookie from Season 1 makes his NXT
Rookie from Season 2 tap over and over again in the middle of the ring. Finally
Miz relents and takes a look at The Miz 's magazine cover. With a smile on his
face, Bryan kicks the poster and knocks it over. It's official, Daniel Bryan v.
The Miz for the US Title at Night of Champions!!!

Edge v. The Great Khali
Despite the pleas that Edge made, Zack Ryder is not his opponent. Edge is
staring at the laptop of GM really debating whether or not to break it.
At the start of the match, Edge walks around the ring taunting the giant.
Finally Khali heads out after him. Edge uses it to his advantage by knocking out
the knees of Khali, and then heading back into the ring. The referee hits the
ten count, which makes Edge the winner.
Or not.
*GeneralMail Alert*
That match will not count. Instead, it will restart as an over the top rope
challenge!
****Commercial****
So, we get back and Khali walks himself out of the ring. Cole is baffled and
asks why the match isn't over. Regardless, Khali gets back into the ring. I'm
really confused. Edge knocks him out by kicking the rope into the rope and then
plowing him to the outside.
Winner: Edge

In the back, Josh Mathews attempts to interview Jericho. Chris just looks
forward without saying anything. John Morrison attempts to sit down and comfort
Jericho, but it doesn't do much good.

Randy Orton v. Wade Barrett
Edge, Cena & Sheamus are all on commentary for this match.
Randy starts by taking it right to Wade. He backs him into the corner and then
whips him to the other side. Orton follows up with a clothesline. Wade slides
out of the ring, but Randy follows right after him. Orton slams Wade's head into
the announce table, before sending him back into the ring. Orton is staring down
Wade as he attempts to whip him hard into the corner. Wade counters, but Randy
moves out of the way of the clothesline. Wade gets the upper hand on the next
exchange as he hits a big boot to the face.
Wade mounts Orton and starts to pummel him in the head. Barrett spins Orton
around and hits a neckbreaker. Wade goes for the cover, but Orton kicks out at
2. Wade locks on a headlock and attempts to keep the Viper grounded. Ort on gets
to his feet and hits a nice back slam. Wade shakes it off and sets Orton back
down with a well placed kick.
Wade seems to be soaking in the experience and is stalking Orton. Wade lifts
Orton up for the Wasteland, but Orton counters into a reversed neck breaker.
Orton follows up with his snap scoop slam, and this could be the beginning of
the end. Wade is looking to the outside for comfort, but Randy catches him while
he is still on the apron. Wade throws him to the outside of the ring!
Out of nowhere music hits the arena that we haven't heard before. Darren Young
makes an entrance, with microphone in hand. Young says that he is about to prove
that he is not the weakest link in Nexus. He has distracted Wade long enough
that Orton is able to sneak back into the ring. Orton hits the RKO and this
match is over!
Winner via RKO: Randy Orton
After the match, Orton calls Young into the ring. Instead of saying thanks, he
hits him with an RKO! Edge runs in for a spear, but he too gets hit with an RKO!
Sheamus tries to enter, and we see our 4th RKO!! The show fades to black as Cena
and Orton stare each other down in the middle of the ring.
