WWE Champion John Cena & Evan Bourne def. Edge & Sheamus
Edge thinks he just sooooo clever. The Ultimate Opportunist thought he had outsmarted his tag team opponents, WWE Champion John Cena & Randy Orton, by hammering The Viper’s shoulder in an ambush prior to the match. Instead of forfeit, The Champ chose a new partner, Evan Bourne, to team with him against Edge & Sheamus.
As anyone who’s ever faced Bourne knows, his athleticism and fearlessness make him an unpredictable foe. Once in the match, the intrepid Bourne refused to give up, kicking out of several near pinfalls.
When Bourne was able to contact his partner, The Champ rushed in and targeted his Irish antagonist. After a powerful back and forth, Cena tossed Sheamus from atop his shoulders and tagged in "Air" Bourne, who landed a devastating Shooting Star Press and covered the Irishman for the victory.
Cody Rhodes def. JTG A week after picking up a victory over the physically imposing Chris Masters on “WWE Superstars,” Cody Rhodes continued to impress on Thursday nights. Going up against the explosive JTG, the second-generation Superstar proved that he was raised to compete in the ring. Showing off his natural ability, Rhodes grounded JTG and controlled the action. Even when the Brooklyn Superstar nailed a dropkick that sent Rhodes to the outside, the Georgia native kept his composure. In the end, a trip to the Cross Rhodes sealed JTG’s fate and gave the former World Tag Team Champion the victory.
Randy Orton may need shoulder surgery to repair his dislocated shoulder but he's trying to rehab the injury in physical therapy to avoid it for the time being. He is expected to work through the injury which is why he is booked in the main event at WWE Fatal 4-Way next month. Orton is not expected to work much before then.

Bret Hart took over as new Raw GM; Fatal 4-Way qualifying matches announced; Batista quit WWE One night after losing an “I Quit” Match to WWE Champion John Cena at Over the Limit, Batista wasn’t in shape to do much of anything – except whine. The Superstar was helped to the ring to complain about his loss the night before and to demand another rematch. His rant was cut short, however, by Raw’s new General Manager Bret Hart.
The WWE Hall of Famer announced a series of qualifying matches for next month’s brand new Fatal 4-Way pay-per-view, at which Cena will defend his title in a Fatal 4-Way Match. The first qualifier announced was Batista against Randy Orton, but when The Animal refused, he automatically forfeited the match.
An enraged Batista went ballistic, screaming at Hart before finally telling the WWE Universe, “I quit!” The Animal was then assisted from the ring and eventually from the arena.
Edge def. WWE Champion John Cena and Chris Jericho in a Non-Title Fatal 4-Way Qualifying Match It was a do-or-die moment for both Edge and Chris Jericho. In their Triple Threat Fatal 4-Way Qualifying Match with John Cena, if either Edge or Jericho were to win, they would move on to the WWE Championship Fatal 4-Way Match next month. If The Champ were to prevail, however, neither Superstar would be eligible.
Knowing how much hung in the balance, The Ultimate Opportunist seized an opening by dropping Jericho with a Spear and covering him for the victory.
As he celebrated, the night’s other qualifiers, Shemaus and Randy Orton, made their presence felt, leaving all four Fatal 4-Way competitors staring down one another in a preview of mayhem to come.
