Rey Mysterio came out and spoke about how good it felt to be back after his year long absence due to injury but was soon interrupted by Alberto Del Rio, the man he attacked on Monday's Raw. Del Rio warned Mysterio that he made a mistake going after him and ordered him to leave the ring. Mysterio naturally refused. Dolph Ziggler also joined them both and claimed that Del Rio had ruined his chance of cashing in on the World Heavyweight title at Money in the Bank with his won contract.
After Ziggler and Del Rio exchanged some more words, they then turned on Mysterio only to have World Champion Sheamus come out to predictably even the odds and help chase off the two heels. Not a bad starting segment for the show, it makes a nice and much needed change for the blue brand to have Mysterio back.
Darren Young, Titus O'Neil, Hunico and Camacho defeated Primo, Epico, R-Truth and Kofi Kingston in an fair tag match. The display of the underrated Primo especially stood out for me. Afterwards Big Show came out and took out all men involved in the bout (bar O'Neil and Young).
Damien Sandow beat Zack Ryder in a fair contest that was maybe a bit too brief to show off what they could really do together in the ring.
Daniel Bryan and AJ joined Christian as his guests on the Peep Show and first presented a amusingly sickly VT of their wedding shopping for next weeks 1000th Raw. After the happy couple confirmed to Christian that they were doing the right thing, he asked the audience in San Diego who seemed to disagree. After an aggravated AJ slapped Christian, 'Captain Charisma' informed Bryan that he would next be facing an ex of his fiancee, Kane. My bets on Bryan dumping AJ as they're about to be wed next week.
Kane won via disqualification versus Daniel Bryan in an enjoyable bout. As usual with these two they performed well together, putting in worthy efforts. The DQ came when AJ leaped on Kane in defense of her partner. As Kane turned her around there was a brief moment where they looked as though they were about to kiss, but AJ left with Bryan.
Heath Slater lost to Legion of Doom's Animal in one his usual novelty squash matches in the lead up to the 1000th Raw.
Sheamus and Rey Mysterio won via DQ versus Alberto Del Rio and Dolph Ziggler in a good main event tag bout. Mysterio looked in great form as he tangled with Ziggler and Del Rio, I wouldn't have guessed he'd just returned from injury. To be fair all four wrestlers looked decent. The disqualification came after Ricardo Rodriguez grabbed Sheamus' leg as he prepared for the Brogue Kick. As the World Champion lay on the ground after a swift kick from Del Rio, Ziggler once again teased a possible Money in the Bank cash in until Mysterio helped take him out.
So who else is ready for the 1000th Raw? Should be a good'n.
