FRESNO, Calif. – Hell rumbled as World Heavyweight Champion Kane and his brother The Undertaker exchanged emotional words about their future. Once again, Alberto Del Rio got the better of Rey Mysterio. And, the war for the Intercontinental Championship continued as Kofi picked up a win over reigning champion Dolph Ziggler – but not the prestigious title.
The Undertaker and Kane talked of their past, present and future (PHOTOS | WATCH) Over the years, the road between brothers Kane and The Undertaker has had many ups and downs. But, are they poised for a volatile final confrontation?
The Undertaker said Kane is “guilty of a treacherous betrayal ” and is not worthy of being his brother or carrying the World Heavyweight Championship.
“I taught you everything you know about evil. But I didn’t teach you everything I know. So when the mood strikes you, I’ll be waiting. And when the fight starts, it’s always going to end the same way,” The Deadman said.
Despite the ominous warning, The Big Red Monster was not intimidated by his older brother’s words.
“Not this time,” said Kane. “I know and you know that this time it ends the same way that it did at SummerSlam, with you sprawled helpless at my feet. I vow on the grave of our mother, that you will never rest in peace.”
Big Show def. Luke Gallows (PHOTOS | WATCH) Accompanied to the ring by Kelly Kelly, Big Show was brimming with confidence. With Serena and Joey Mercury at ringside – and CM Punk watching from a TV monitor – Luke Gallows was expected to represent The Straight Edge Society with a win. However, with a powerful knockout punch, The World’s Largest Athlete dropped Gallows hard and picked up the pinfall.
Alberto Del Rio def. local competitor (PHOTOS | WATCH) Like he did in last week’s debut, Alberto Del Rio was introduced by his own personal ring announcer, Ricardo Rodriguez. And, Del Rio arrived in grand style by driving himself to the ring in a Jaguar. After a dominant offense, Del Rio put away a local challenger by making him submit to his cross armbreaker.
Jack Swagger def. MVP by Disqualification in the “Jack Swagger Senior Invitational” (PHOTOS | WATCH) In a unique bout dubbed the “Jack Swagger Senior Invitational,” the first Superstar to get five takedowns would be declared the winner. And, if MVP won, Swagger would have to pay for MVP’s end of summer block party. If Swagger won, he would get to host “MVP’s VIP Lounge” for one night. As the action progressed, Swagger was up strong, leading MVP three takedowns to zero. Perhaps frustrated, MVP slapped Swagger, instantly getting himself disqualified. Although Swagger got the win, he wasn’t done. After the match, he attacked MVP from behind and punished him with a session in his lethal ankle lock outside of the ring.
Kofi Kingston def. Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler by Count-out (PHOTOS | WATCH) Going into the bout, Kofi Kingston knew that if Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler were disqualified, he would become the new champion. Despite the stipulation, Kingston’s efforts to regain the prestigious title were once again cleverly thwarted by the duo of Ziggler and Official SmackDown Consultant Vickie Guerrero. As the battle waged outside of the ring, the ref began a 10-count. Knowing Ziggler would still retain his title even after a count-out loss,Vickie stopped Ziggler from reentering the ring. Although Kingston won, he was furious the title eluded him once again and chased Ziggler from ringside, out into the WWE Universe and up a flight of arena stairs.
CM Punk def. JTG (PHOTOS | WATCH) Looking to set an example for his Straight Edge Society disciples, CM Punk came out of the gate with a super aggressive offense against JTG. After dropping JTG with a GTS, Punk forced him to submit using his Anaconda Vise. After the victory, Punk demanded Luke Gallows, Joey Mercury and Serena get on their knees in the ring and said they must “be better or be gone!”
Alberto Del Rio attacked Rey Mysterio (WATCH) Still feeling the painful effects of his loss to Kane, Rey Mysterio had to be helped from the ring by WWE officials. But before he could leave ringside, he was confronted by Alberto Del Rio, who said Rey looked like a "dying dog" who needed to be "put down." After slamming Rey into the ringside barrier, Del Rio locked him a cross armbreaker. Then, just when he appeared finished and was walking up the exit ramp, Del Rio returned for more brutality. First he shoved Mysterio’s arm into a steel chair and closed the chair on his arm. Then with his arm still caught in the chair, Del Rio viciously smashed Mysterio into a steel ring post.

Drew McIntyre def. Chris Masters (PHOTOS | WATCH) A week after he nearly had his ankle torn off by a vicious Jack Swagger, Chris Masters stepped in the ring with the underhanded Drew McIntyre. Quickly realizing his opponent’s vulnerability, The Scottish Superstar targeted Masters’ vulnerable ankle, but nearly got caught in the devastating Master Lock. But just when it looked like the hold was going to be cinched in, McIntyre managed to worm his way out and nail a devastating Future Shock DDT for an impressive victory.
Trent Barreta & Caylen Croft def. Vance Archer & Curt Hawkins (PHOTOS | WATCH) Ever since Bret Hart presented The Hart Dynasty with the brand new WWE Tag Team Championships, things have been heating up in the division as top duos have been gunning to grab those titles. Two of those hungry, young tandems squared off on “WWE Superstars” as Vance Archer & Curt Hawkins brought the fight to the energetic The Dude Busters. But while Archer & Hawkins have pulled off some dominant wins in recent weeks, they weren’t able to stop Caylen Croft & Trent Barreta tonight. With this win, the cocky SmackDown Superstars move one step closer to a WWE Tag Team Championship opportunity.
William Regal def. Goldust (PHOTOS | WATCH) Although they have drastically different ring styles, Goldust and William Regal are two of WWE’s most experienced and accomplished veterans. So it came as no surprise that a showdown between these two tough Superstars was nothing short of a mat clinic. Playing to his strengths, The Bizarre One used his unorthodox offense to throw Regal off his game. But The British Brawler countered with the brutal submission maneuvers he learned in the carnivals of Blackpool, England, to incapacitate Goldust. In the end, it was this destructive arsenal of wicked holds that gave the 2008 King of the Ring the victory.

This is scary: after telling family members he was distraught over a theft of some personal belongings, Timbaland was believed to be suicidal and took off from his home yesterday afternoon. There was a major hunt for him when his family realized he disappeared and might harm himself.
The LAPD responded to a “possible suicide attempt” call at 5pm yesterday after Timbaland disappeared. Earlier in the day, Timbaland had told his brother-in-law that there had been a theft at his Malibu home and a Jacob & Co. watch valued at $2 million had been taken. Timbaland was so distraught over the theft that he took off in his Escalade and was located by police helicopter. He was evaluated by paramedics and released after it was determined he was not a threat to himself.
It sounds like a lot more to this story than just a watch, we’ll update with more details as they come.

FRESNO, Calif. – With just one week to go until the NXT season two finale, the last three NXT Rookies had their knowledge of WWE history put to the test for an exclusive WWE.com takeover at the most critical moment as the WWE Universe prepares to help determine WWE’s next breakout star.
“Dashing” Cody Rhodes def. MVP (PHOTOS) With both of their Rookies eliminated the previous week on WWE NXT, MVP and “Dashing” Cody Rhodes were done talking and ready to get down to business inside of the ring. While Rhodes initially denied Kaval’s challenge, he accepted The Ballin’ Superstar’s request and the second-generation competitor was out to silence his critics and prove that he is on a higher level than both the NXT Rookies and his fellow Pros. The execution of a jarring Cross Rhodes gave The “Dashing” Superstar a convincing victory over MVP and suggested that perhaps Rhodes can actually back up his endless talk.
Kaval won the WWE Trivia Challenge (PHOTOS) In order to be a successful WWE Superstar, one must appreciate and acknowledge the history of what has come before them. There is no history richer than that of WWE, and the NXT Rookies’ knowledge of Superstars and events of days past was put to the test.
While the son of “Mr. Perfect” Curt Hennig, Michael McGillicutty, seemed to be the early favorite, Kaval quickly demonstrated his familiarity with Superstars and WWE moments, past and present. The two Rookies remained neck and neck while varsity letterman Alex Riley would essentially flunk, answering only one question correctly. At the end of the competition, Kaval scored the most points to secure a victory. With his win, the NXT Rookie earned a special feature on WWE.com beginning at midnight ET, following the conclusion of WWE NXT.
Kaval challenged “Dashing” Cody Rhodes (PHOTOS) After last week’s shocking double elimination, the three remaining NXT Rookies – Kaval, Alex Riley and Michael McGillicutty – have very few chances left to prove why they are WWE’s next breakout star. NXT host Matt Striker asked each of the Rookies how it felt to be a finalist in the competition. When Kaval took the microphone, he first thanked the WWE Universe and then immediately set his sights on “Dashing” Cody Rhodes, who assaulted the NXT Rookie following Husky Harris’ elimination last week.
Kaval challenged Rhodes to a match, but the SmackDown Superstar told the Rookie that they were not on the same level and denied the request. This prompted WWE Pro MVP to confront Rhodes and issue his own challenge for later in the evening, which the “Dashing” Superstar accepted.
Tune in live to WWE NXT for the season two finale and be sure to cast your vote beginning at 12 noon ET for the NXT Rookie you believe is WWE's next breakout star.

LOS ANGELES - During Monday Night Raw, the City of Angels played host to a pair of WWE's heavenly bodies, a contingent of deadly sinners and a half dozen Superstars ready to clash in a battle of biblical proportions at the Night of Champions pay-per-view.
WWE Champion Sheamus def. Zack Ryder; Raw’s General Manager announced Six Pack Challenge at Night of Champions (PHOTOS | WATCH: PART 1 | PART 2) The Celtic “Worrier?” Perhaps WWE Champion Sheamus was too concerned about facing one of WWE’s elite Superstars or maybe he’s got a soft spot for Long Island. Whatever the reason, the Irishman chose to defend his title against Zack Ryder, not on pay-per-view, but on Raw.
A grateful Ryder thanked Sheamus for the opportunity before having his face kicked in and getting pinned inside of a mere 11 seconds. Woo, Woo, Woo. You know it!
After the match, there were several understandably irate Superstars, including Wade Barrett. The leader of The Nexus informed The Celtic Warrior that at Night of Champions, he would invoke the title opportunity he earned after winning season one of WWE NXT. Before the rivalry between England and Ireland could escalate, the Raw General Manager had a few points to make.
Sheamus would indeed defend his title against Barrett, the GM assured. However, he would also defend against four other Superstars in a Six Pack Challenge. Rounding out the field, the GM chose Chris Jericho, Randy Orton, Edge and John Cena. As each man stood wearily in the ring, the mistrust proved overwhelming and the six set out attacking one another, leaving only The Viper to stand tall after an emphatic RKO to Cena. The tension between the sextet assures that Night of Champions is also sure to be a night to remember.
Randy Orton def. Ted DiBiase and John Morrison in a Triple Threat Match (PHOTOS | WATCH) That throne must really be comfy. After all, WWE Champion Sheamus, who has a penchant for involving himself where he doesn’t belong, actually stayed out of the Triple Threat Match between Randy Orton, John Morrison and Ted DiBiase.
The triumvirate of Superstars competed for the potential opportunity to be chosen by the Irishman to battle him in a title match at Night of Champions. During the bout, Sheamus actually exited to deliberate before announcing who he would face in four weeks. When the carnage was complete, it was The Viper who had snaked past his competition to secure the win.
Santino Marella & Vladimir Kozlov def. The Usos (PHOTOS |WATCH) One of the most unlikely pairings in WWE has turned out to be one of the most successful. Santino Marella & Vladimir Kozlov have scored another victory on the world stage, defeating The Usos, Jimmy and Jey.
After the international triumph, Tamina halted a retaliatory strike aimed squarely at her crush, Santino. As she walked off with the Usos, the daughter of “Superfly” Jimmy Snuka blew a passionate kiss to The Italian Stallion. Hmmm …
United States Champion The Miz def. John Cena by Disqualification (PHOTOS |WATCH) When asked about The Miz’s attack on Daniel Bryan last week, John Cena called it “petty and classless.” Needless to say, the United States Champion was not amused. When the two faced off, animosity permeated the arena. While Mr. Money in the Bank more than held his own against one of WWE’s premier Superstars, once Cena found his footing, Miz found an escape hatch and fled the ring.
Unfortunately for Miz, Daniel Bryan appeared on the scene and was more than happy to “escort” him back to the ring. After tossing the U.S. Champion back inside, where Cena administered an Attitude Adjustment, Daniel Bryan locked a submission hold onto his nemesis. So intense was the hold that it required five referees to finally break it.
Raw’s GM lifted ban on The Nexus competing for titles As WWE Champion Sheamus rested regally atop his throne, Raw’s anonymous General Manager shook him from his respite. The Nexus had filed out to join the Irishman on stage when the GM informed the group of outlaws that he was lifting the ban on them competing for titles. As a result, Nexus leader Wade Barrett eagerly informed Sheamus that the “truce” between he and the group was effectively over.
Divas Champion Melina def. Jillian (PHOTOS | WATCH) Thankfully, Jillian had no reason to break out in song. After pulling out a win for her team last week, the tone-deaf Diva went head-to-head against Divas Champion Melina. Sadly for her, though, the Latina lovely appeared more focused and notched another victory.
After the match, “Women’s Co-Champions,” Layla & Michelle McCool popped up on the TitanTron to mock Melina and inform her that the two will visit next week for Raw’s 900th episode celebration to make her an offer that is simply “flawless.”
Chris Jericho def. The Great Khali (PHOTOS | WATCH) In the quest to battle Sheamus at Night of Champions, Chris Jericho faced down the towering presence of The Great Khali. By targeting his attack on Khali’s knee, which had been battered by The Nexus two weeks prior, the self-important Superstar managed to topple The Punjabi Playboy with the Walls of Jericho. As he addressed the WWE Champion, though, informing him of his status as the first-ever Undisputed Champion, Khali knocked Jericho from his turnbuckle perch to the arena floor.
Edge def. R-Truth (PHOTOS | WATCH) In the first match of the evening to help determine which Superstar will face Sheamus at Night of Champions, The Rated-R Superstar laid out a convincing case. Edge faced off against the dynamism of R-Truth. The two had traded heated words with one another in the run-up to SummerSlam, but in this exchange, it was Edge who would prevail.
Afterward, The Ultimate Opportunist reminded the WWE Champion that he is a nine-time champion, and bragged that until Sheamus defeats him, he hasn’t defeated anyone.
Raw General Manager allowed WWE Champion Sheamus to choose his opponent at Night of Champions After a self-serving tirade about the “VOS,” or Victims of Sheamus, as he referred to some of his past opponents, The Celtic Warrior boasted that he would emerge victorious at one of WWE’s most prestigious pay-per-views, Night of Champions.
After listening to the Irishman’s rant, Raw’s anonymous General Manager piped up. He informed The Celtic Warrior that he could relax in a special throne for the evening to watch a series of matches unfold. After observing the winners, the choice of No. 1 contender for the WWE Title would be up to Sheamus himself.
