WASHINGTON D.C. – In the shadow of the breathtaking Washington Monument, Randy Orton  made a few breathtaking monumental statements of his own. In the U.S. capital, The Viper countered the attacks of four Superstars with a flurry of RKOs.

Randy Orton def. Wade Barrett (PHOTOS | WATCH)
Randy Orton seemed a man possessed. In the night’s main event match, The Viper faced off against Wade Barrett as WWE Champion Sheamus, Edge and John Cena looked on from ringside. And although the opponents appeared evenly matched, Orton slithered past his foe when the leader of The Nexus was haunted by a face from his past: Darren Young.

The banished Nexus member distracted Barrett long enough to allow The Viper to level him with an RKO and prevail in the match. Orton, however, was hardly content with a singular strike. He subsequently coiled around Young, Edge and Sheamus, leaving each incapacitated by an RKO.

Although Cena entered the ring as well, the two appeared justifiably cautious in the presence of one another, content to stare each other down until next week when they will happily settle any scores.

Edge def. The Great Khali (PHOTOS | WATCH)
With his spot in the Six Pack Challenge hanging in the balance, Edge hoped to defeat his opponent, The Great Khali, by count-out. The victory, however, left Raw’s anonymous General Manager hungry for more. As a result, the GM announced that the match must end with a definitive conclusion and would be an Over-the-Top-Rope Challenge.

Since Khali captured the World Heavyweight Championship in a joust of this kind, the stipulation appeared to favor the Punjabi giant. The Ultimate Opportunist, however, wasn’t beaten yet. Despite the tremendous setback, Edge managed to depose his lofty adversary, sending him tumbling over the top rope and maintaining his slot in the Six Pack Challenge at Night of Champions.

John Cena will face winner of Randy Orton vs. Wade Barrett match
Raw’s anonymous General Manager chimed in to inform the WWE Universe that the winner of the match pitting Randy Orton against Wade Barrett will be “rewarded” with a match against John Cena on next week’s Raw. Adding to the excitement of next week’s show, Raw Roulette returns! The high-stakes wheel promises to provide a series of unexpected and must-watch matches.

United States Champion The Miz accepted title match challenge from Daniel Bryan (PHOTOS |WATCH)
The Miz has arrived. Despite his arrogance, the United States Champion does deserve some credit. After all, he did make it onto the cover of this month’s WWE Magazine. As Mr. Money in the Bank boasted about the honor, Daniel Bryan cut him short. Daniel Bryan respectfully asked for a title match against Miz at Night of Champions.

Miz accepted, so that, as he said, he might embarrass his nemesis. As the two Superstars shook on it, “The Cleveland Screamer” took a cheap shot. Daniel Bryan, however, flipped the script and locked Miz in the LeBell Lock. Just as it appeared Miz was prepared to tap out, his season two NXT Rookie Alex Riley charged the ring from the audience and rescued the United States Champion. Afterward, Miz allowed Riley to get locked into the LeBell Lock and suffer as he simply looked on. Once Daniel Bryan had released the hold, he then kicked over the poster-sized photo of the magazine cover Miz had so smugly displayed.

John Cena def. Justin Gabriel (PHOTOS | WATCH)
John Cena wasn’t about to give Justin Gabriel the satisfaction. The South African had already hit Cena with three 450° Splashes over the past few months, including one the week before, after which Gabriel had pinned Cena.

This week would tell a far different story. Without his contingent of Nexus cronies to rely upon, Gabriel failed to notch a fourth devastating 450° Splash. In fact, he appeared to flail in the face of Cena’s strength and size advantage, finally succumbing to a vengeful Attitude Adjustment off the top rope to end the match.

Divas Champion Melina def. Alicia Fox (PHOTOS | WATCH)
Invoking her rematch clause, former Divas Champion Alicia Fox challenged current champion Melina to a title match. Angered that she might be relegated to “lumberjill” status during the Divas and Women’s Championship Unification Lumberjill Match, Fox needed a win to recapture the spotlight. Alas, the towering Floridian came up short against Melina, who retained her title.

John Morrison def. Chris Jericho (PHOTOS | WATCH)
After deserting their teammates in last week’s 5-on-5 Tag Team Elimination Match, Chris Jericho and Edge were informed by the Raw GM that they must win their singles matches tonight in order to maintain their slots in the Six Pack Challenge at Night of Champions.

An ill-tempered Jericho was none too happy, especially when his opponent was revealed to be The Guru of Greatness, John Morrison. Unfortunately for Jericho, his fury was only compounded when Morrison toppled Mr. Vocabulary, not only handing him a loss but, in essence, booting him from the Six Pack Challenge and snuffing out any hope he may have had of capturing the WWE Title.

Randy Orton confronted The Nexus; Raw GM arranged main events (PHOTOS)
Modest. Humble. Self-effacing. Three characteristics foreign to the arrogant Superstars of The Nexus. The five outlaws kicked off Raw by recapping last week’s episode, in which they ganged up on The Undertaker and punished The Phenom, and also prevailed in a 5-on-5 Tag Team Elimination Match after both Chris Jericho and Edge abandoned their squad.

When the five members took turns bragging, Randy Orton interrupted the self-righteous revelry. Just when the rhetoric between Wade Barrett and The Viper became overheated, Raw’s anonymous General Manager broke in to inform Nexus that while their collective effort may have been impressive, they would be put to the test as individuals tonight. First up, The Nexus’ leader Wade Barrett would face Orton, the man he pinned last week to win the main event match. Next, Justin Gabriel would battle the man he pinned the week before, John Cena. And neither Nexus member would enjoy the assistance of their fellow outlaws since The Nexus is banned from ringside during both bouts.

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. You’ll 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 Uso’s manager, Tamina, couldn’t 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 can’t 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 wasn’t long before DiBiase hit Dream Street to cash in another rich victory.

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 Raw’s 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
Timing really is everything. At the conclusion of the night’s main event, The Nexus’ leader Wade Barrett proved that as he stood as proud and tall as London’s 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 night’s 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.

Barrett’s fortuitous evening concluded, though, when he faced off against Orton as the remaining two competitors in the whittled-down bout. 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 Barrett’s 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
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 World’s 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
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 wasn’t about to let it go down like that. The World’s 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
Earlier in the evening, Wade Barrett promised to do something unforgettable during Raw’s 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 Kane’s 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
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-Women’s Champions” Layla & Michelle McCool; Championship Unification Lumberjack Match arranged for Night of Champions
Oh, it is so on! After weeks of self-professed “Co-Women’s Champions” Layla & Michelle McCool taunting Divas Champion Melina, it’s 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 couldn’t refuse: One of them will face her at Night of Champions, and the winner will unify the Divas and Women’s 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
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
Kane’s descent into madness continues. When Bret Hart merely mentioned his brother, The Undertaker, during Raw’s 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.

Kane’s 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, Raw’s 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 hadn’t been seen on Raw in 13 years, a match pitting The Deadman against The Excellence of Execution!

my favorite TNA wrestler is Jeff Hardy.

I was just wondering if you watch WWE pay per views.
I don't because it cost more money.
