Alberto Del Rio arrived in grand style by driving into the Rabobank Arena in a Rolls Royce. And as he approached the ring, he was introduced by his very own personal ring announcer. Leading up to the big night, Del Rio touted himself in a series of videos (WATCH).

When all the hype and talking were over, and Del Rio finally stepped in the ring, he backed up his words with a huge win over veteran Rey Mysterio by making him tap out with a cross armbreaker. Adding insult to injury, Del Rio locked Rey in the same hold after the match was over to deliver more punishment.

With “Dashing” Cody Rhodes watching the action as part of the announce team, Christian got the pinfall over Drew McIntyre. Afterward, Rhodes and McIntyre launched an ugly assault on the veteran. After repeatedly stomping on him in the ring, Matt Hardy came to the rescue. Although Hardy held his own – dishing out some punishment of his own – he too ended up on the receiving end of a beating from the aggressive duo. When the dust settled, the two young Superstars stood tall over the fallen veterans.

After The Nexus crashed their Intercontinental Championship Match at SummerSlam (PHOTOS), reigning champion Dolph Ziggler and Kofi Kingston picked up where they left off in their battle for the prestigious title. On this night, it was Official SmackDown Consultant Vickie Guerrero who interrupted things when she pushed Kingston from the top rope. Although her actions caused an immediate disqualification for her boyfriend, the title cannot change hands on a disqualification. After the bell, Ziggler went to work by dropping Kingston with the Zig Zag, then locking him a sleeper and finally stomping on his defenseless body.

Jack Swagger def. Chris Masters (PHOTOS | WATCH)
It was the Ankle Lock vs. The Master Lock in this heated battle between the conceited Jack Swagger and the powerful Chris Masters. With The Masterpiece having the strength advantage going into this confrontation, the big man attempted to destroy Swagger with some serious power maneuvers. But the former World Heavyweight Champion was able to use his submission expertise to take away Masters’ arm strength and cinch in a painful Ankle Lock for a hard-fought victory.

Vance Archer & Curt Hawkins def. MVP & JTG (PHOTOS | WATCH)
They say anything can happen on “WWE Superstars” and that was certainly true tonight as the singles match between Vance Archer and MVP erupted into a wild tag team brawl. The wildness started when the aggressive Curt Hawkins attacked The Ballin’ Superstar on the outside of the ring and JTG ran down to even the score. Although this would regularly lead to a No Contest, SmackDown General Manager Teddy Long decided to turn the match into a tag contest. Unfortunately for MVP & JTG, this decision did not work out in their favor as they were bested by the impressive young team of Archer & Hawkins.

Yoshi Tatsu def. Primo (PHOTOS | WATCH)
The heated rivalry between international standouts Yoshi Tatsu and Primo continued on “WWE Superstars” this Thursday with each young talent desperately clawing for the victory. Although they have traded wins in the past, it was the Japanese Superstar who came out on top tonight, dropping his arrogant opponent with a devastating spinning heel kick from the top rope.

 When Team WWE dismantled The Nexus at SummerSlam  the night before, it appeared that the sun had finally set on the seven deadly sinners. On Monday night, however, the group’s members, with the exception of one, each survived in singles competition, offering The Nexus hope that a new day may have finally dawned.

John Cena def. Darren Young (PHOTOS | WATCH)
A perfect record hung heavy on the shoulders of Darren Young. Each of his teammates from The Nexus had been victorious in their matches against Team WWE members. Now it was his turn. His obstacle, however, would prove particularly momentous. Young must face Team WWE’s de facto leader and the man who severely beat him down last month, John Cena.

Also weighing heavy on Young was the fact that were he to lose, he would be banished from The Nexus. With that in mind, the bout underwent a series of momentum shifts until, finally, Cena asserted his imposing will. The force of such a powerhouse was too much for Young to bear as he faded in defeat.

In the aftermath, The Nexus approached the ring. Although Cena prepared himself for the worst, his tormentors allowed him to leave unharmed. Instead, they circled their true target: Young. After punishing their only failed member, the remaining six members of The Nexus stood tall.

Heath Slater def. Edge by Count-out (PHOTOS | WATCH)
The similarities are undeniable. Both Heath Slater and Edge boast long, flowing locks and a penchant for rockstar style, but that’s where the comparison ends. Prior to their match, Slater attempted to convince The Rated-R Superstar to throw the match. For Edge, the request was tantamount to asking him to listen to the Jonas Brothers.

Once in the ring, the two engaged in an athletic clash of wills. At one point, the action even spilled out of the ring. As the referee continued his count, it was Slater who finally managed to dart back into the squared circle to avoid the count-out while his opponent seethed on the outside in defeat before nailing Slater with a Spear.

Jillian, Alicia Fox & Maryse def. Divas Champion Melina, Eve & Gail Kim (PHOTOS | WATCH)
Melina was clearly distracted. The newly-minted Divas Champion had teamed with Eve & Gail Kim against Alicia Fox, Jillian & Maryse, but she appeared leery of a surprise visit from co-Women’s Champions Michelle McCool & Layla. After all, the pair had ganged up on her at SummerSlam just moments after she captured the Divas Title.

The threat from Team Lay-Cool never materialized, but Melina and Gail were indeed distracted. When the Divas left the ring to battle Alicia and Maryse, Jillian took advantage and rolled up an unsuspecting Eve for the win.

David Otunga & Skip Sheffield def. John Morrison & R-Truth (PHOTOS | WATCH)
The locomotive of The Nexus continued to steam toward perfection. This time, the conductors were David Otunga & Skip Sheffield, who were tasked with derailing Team WWE’s John Morrison & R-Truth in tag team action. As the rest of The Nexus squad watched intently on a monitor in the locker room area, Otunga and Sheffield capitalized on their size and strength advantage to pull apart their opponents and retain their positions within The Nexus.

Justin Gabriel def. Randy Orton by Count-out (PHOTOS | WATCH)
The Nexus’ South African cyclone, Justin Gabriel, was scheduled to compete against Bret Hart, but Raw’s mystery GM had other ideas. Citing his animosity toward “Hit Man,” the GM instead arranged for a new opponent, Randy Orton.

The Viper appeared to have Gabriel securely wrapped in his grip when WWE Champion Sheamus paid an unannounced visit. The Celtic Warrior, who had lost by disqualification to Orton the night before, clashed outside the ring with his SummerSlam rival, handing Gabriel the win by count-out. As one might imagine, the loss did not sit well with Orton, who slithered back into the ring to RKO Gabriel. Outside the squared circle, Orton proved just as unrelenting in his counterattack on the Irishman, who also received an RKO as well as several lashes from a metal folding chair.

Michael Tarver def. Daniel Bryan (PHOTOS | WATCH)
In his first appearance on Raw since suffering a vicious beating at the hands of The Nexus, Daniel Bryan appeared determined to level his opponent, Nexus masked man Michael Tarver. Although his efforts seemed to be paying dividends, Daniel Bryan had to contend with unfinished business from the previous night.

At SummerSlam, Daniel Bryan was selected as the seventh man on Team WWE, a position The Miz felt belonged to him. As a result, the United States Champion interfered in Daniel Bryan’s bout, causing a distraction, which allowed Tarver to slide in for the win. As if he hadn’t done enough, Miz, with his NXT Rookie Alex Riley along to take notes, then drove his rival's head into the Money in the Bank briefcase.

Wade Barrett def. Chris Jericho (PHOTOS | WATCH)
In arguably his most impressive victory to date, Wade Barrett defeated his former WWE Pro Chris Jericho in convincing fashion. As leader of The Nexus, Barrett needed to secure the win to save face and motivate his troops, who had suffered a disheartening loss the night before at SummerSlam.

John Cena confronted The Nexus; Raw’s General Manager arranged The Nexus vs. Team WWE in singles matches (PHOTOS | WATCH)
There was simply no hiding from the truth. Team WWE had defeated The Nexus in their match at SummerSlam, and yet Wade Barrett was attempting to spin the crushing defeat into a rallying cry for his six disciples.

What he was serving up, though, was some weak tea – and John Cena knew it. The Team WWE founder confronted Barrett about his squad’s performance, which rankled the band of outlaws. Their pride wounded, members of The Nexus began to turn on each other, assigning blame for the defeat. The backbiting escalated until Raw’s anonymous General Manager interrupted the meltdown to announce that each member of The Nexus would face a member of Team WWE in singles competition, beginning with Barrett facing down his WWE Pro, Chris Jericho.

For the members of The Nexus, the singles matches have given them an opportunity to weed out any weaknesses. As they all agreed, any member who does not win their match is no longer in The Nexus.

San Jose, Calif. – Just two days before SummerSlam, heated aggression set SmackDown ablaze, as World Heavyweight Champion Kane reign supreme over Kofi Kingston and Rey Mysterio overcame Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler.

As Kane stood leering at ringside next to an open casket, Rey Mysterio used his tremendous athletic ability to counter new Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler and pick up the victory out of nowhere. Afterward, The Big Red Monster attempted to attack his SummerSlam No. 1 contender. But, the masked Superstar answered back with a fierce defense that sent the humiliated self-proclaimed “Devil’s favorite demon” flying into his own casket.

MVP def. Jack Swagger (PHOTOS | WATCH)
As Jack Swagger complained to the WWE Universe about his many misfortunes over the past two months, MVP interrupted to inform the former World Champion that no one cares about his problems. Swagger responded by hitting The Ballin’ Superstar with a microphone, paving the way for a brutal attack and a match between the two Superstars. As “The All-American American” was attempting to apply his treacherous ankle lock and end things on a painful note, The Franchise Playa countered, allowing him to pick up the quick pinfall.

Drew McIntyre def. Matt Hardy (PHOTOS | WATCH)
After attempting to end Matt Hardy’s career in recent months, Drew McIntyre looked to finish the job. In a vicious rematch between the two adversaries, the ruthless “Chosen One” trapped Hardy’s ankle in between the ring steps and stomped down on the unforgiving steel. Despite being in excruciating pain, Hardy fought to continue the match. Nevertheless, his injury allowed McIntyre to execute the Future Shock DDT for the victory.

Suffering an absolute onslaught by The Straight Edge Society two weeks ago, in which his right hand was continuously stomped upon, the furious World’s Largest Athlete returned to make a powerful statement. As The S.E.S. looked on, Big Show took out three local athletes with overwhelming force in a 3-on-1 Handicap Match. The final blow came when Big Show unleashed his devastating knockout punch, using the very arm that CM Punk and his disciplines had attacked.

“Dashing” Cody Rhodes def. Christian  (PHOTOS | WATCH)
Two weeks ago, Drew McIntyre carried out a vicious assault on Christian, injuring his shoulder in the process. This week, after Cody Rhodes hit Captain Charisma with a thumb to the eye, the “Dashing” Superstar further injured his opponent’s shoulder by hurling him into the ring post. Rhodes then closed the door on Christian with the Cross Rhodes.

World Heavyweight Champion Kane def. Kofi Kingston (PHOTOS | WATCH)
Just 48 hours before SummerSlam, the determination of Kofi Kinston collided with the uncontrollable rage of Kane. Shortly after Kofi sustained an injury to his leg, The Big Red Monster caught him on the top rope and sent him hurling to the canvas with a derailing super chokeslam. He then turned out the lights on his prey with the tombstone.

After the bell, Kane promised to deliver vengeance onto Mysterio at SummerSlam. The Master of the 619 emerged to reaffirm his claim that Kane actually attacked The Undertaker, vowing to reclaim the World Title in two days.

After winning the Intercontinental Championship one week ago, Dolph Ziggler’s celebration was cut short with an attack from the Superstar he “stole” the title from, Kofi Kingston.

Moments later, SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long informed Ziggler that he will defend his title against Kofi Kingston at SummerSlam (Match preview). He also declared that Ziggler would face Rey Mysterio in the SmackDown main event. When SmackDown Official Consultant Vickie Guerrero insisted Kingston should have to face Kane as well, Kofi bravely welcomed the challenge.
