Vince McMahon came out to open the show. Vince apologized for starting the show on a “somber note” and said Raw General Manager Bret Hart would not be here tonight. They showed the Team NXT attack on Hart from last week’s Raw. Vince said he was meeting with “Bret’s representatives” later to determine when Bret would be able to return to his duties, and what action would be taken against Team NXT. There was an audible “Daniel Bryan” chant during Vince’s promo.

Drew McIntyre came out and shook hands with Vince McMahon before heading to the ring. The McIntyre-Long match from Smackdown this past week was recapped.

Vince McMahon was shown getting in his limo and leaving, so I guess the meeting isn’t taking place at Nassau Coliseum.

Drew McIntyre got on the mic and said that Teddy Long, under orders of Mr. McMahon, has to come out right now. Long came out, while McIntyre insulted him, calling him “pathetic” and said he had “no pride” but at least he still had a job. McIntyre said when he wins back “his” Intercontinental Title, Long would have to hand it to him.

Intercontinental Champion Kofi Kingston vs. Drew McIntyre.

Winner: Kofi Kingston.

Backstage, Savannah interviewed the Hart Dynasty, who apparently are wrestling in a six-person tag team match on the show. Natalya said it was a tough week, but they would make Bret proud tonight. Kidd said they were going to take care of the Usos tonight in the ring. Smith said Bret has been like a father to him, and that he signed the Usos so the Hart Dynasty would have to earn everything they achieve. He said tonight they would fight.

Divas Champion Eve vs. Alicia Fox vs. Maryse vs. Gail Kim.

Winner and new Divas Champion: Alicia Fox.

Backstage, Rey Mysterio was praying. Big Show said that while Rey is a “man of faith” some things are “too big” to overcome. Rey said he is a former World Champion with 20 years experience, and he is always the underdog, but he will be champion again. Show said they are friends, but he will knock him out of he has to, holding up his fist. Rey said his heart is bigger than Show’s fist. Rey walked off, and Show wished him luck.

Chris Jericho came out and cut a promo about how he is the reason fans watch WWE, which got an ovation from the New York crowd. Jericho said he is not getting the attention he used to, noting that even his rookie Wade Barrett gets more attention than him. Jericho said that the reason is because his whole career he has been trying to knock someone else off the mountain, and now he was on the top of the mountain with others trying to knock him off. Jericho said he has a target on his back. Jericho noted that last week on Raw, Evan Bourne gave him a shooting star press after their match was over, and he didn’t deserve it. Jericho said he wants restitution, and has challenged Bourne a match tonight. Jericho ripped on Bourne, saying his career would “fade away” like a shooting star tonight. The fans seemed mostly pro-Jericho, even when he called them parasites.

Chris Jericho vs. Evan Bourne

Winner: Evan Bourne.

World Champion Jack Swagger vs. Big Show vs. Rey Mysterio vs. CM Punk.

Winner and new World Champion: Rey Mysterio.

Backstage, Josh Mathews interviewed John Cena. When asked about Team NXT attacking, Cena talked about how it has “solidified” the WWE locker room, and that there is an “unspoken agreement” to work together if they show up. When asked about the odds in a Fatal Four Way match (we’ve had two title changes already), Cena said whoever walks out the champion tonight, will have to earn it.

They reviewed how Miz won the U.S. Title in a Fatal Four Way match on Raw last week.

Miz came out, and did a version of R-Truth’s entrance music with new lyrics about himself, replacing “What’s Up” with “The Miz”. Truth then came out to the original version.

U.S. Champion The Miz vs. R-Truth.

Winner: The Miz.
