Daniel Bryan vs Sheamus
Sheamus unloads on Bryan in the corner and knees him repeatedly in the head, and ignores the referees count until he calls for the bell. Sheamus picks him up and hits the High Cross, and stares at Bryan on the canvas before he leaves the ring.
Result – No Contest
Michael Cole is behind the GM podium in the ring, and says the GM won’t alter his voice anymore, and will only communicate via email, read by ‘the voice of the WWE,’ Michael Cole. Cole says he has a major announcement regarding the WWE Championship, but will wait for Edge to come and apologize first.
Edge says he won’t apologize for anything, and in case anyone missed it, he is on a crusade against everything stupid. He says the GM computer is stupid, and so is Cole, and he would rather listen to a recording of JR than listen to a live Michael Cole. The GM sends an email and says the winner of a 20 man battle royal will face Randy Orton at Bragging Rights for the WWE Championship. Edge won’t be in the match because the GM has officially traded Edge to Smackdown, and Edge looks happy about it. He says he won’t have to put up with the stupid GM and calls Cole a tool, and Cole yells at him for acting like he is. He tells Edge to show some respect, and Edge says he’ll leave RAW on a high note and spear Cole right into next week.
Miz and Riley interrupt and Miz says he won’t do that and says Cole is a visionary, and Miz tells him to go back to his announcer’s seat. Edge calls Miz an Edge wannabe, and Miz says they are nothing alike. Edge says he is right, because he has been WWE Champion before and he hasn’t even seen Miz have luck with a woman, unless he counts Alex Riley. Riley says he shouldn’t talk like that because the Miz is the future and he’s awesome, but Edge says he is awesome at tapping out. Miz says he won’t let Edge get to him and he’ll either be going to Bragging Rights in a title match, or leading his team to crush Smackdown. Edge attacks Riley and spears him, but Miz catches him from behind and hits the Skull Crushing Finale.
Nexus is in the back and Barrett says he was actually looking to get rid of Tarver, so Cena did him a favor. He tells Cena he will help him win the battle royal tonight, and that is an order. Otunga says if Barrett is eliminated he will help one of them win, and they tease some dissention before Barrett tells Cena that he is there to help Barrett win the match.
