Taped earlier in Kansas City, Missouri and Omaha, Nebraska.


1. Jinder Mahal defeated Yoshi Tatsu in 4:41 Mahal took control early and worked over Tatsu with a series of knee strikes.

Tatsu made a comeback late in the match with a brief flurry, but Mahal managed to catch him with another knee. Mahal locked in the Camel Clutch and Tatsu quickly tapped… [C]

Ryan's Rant: Pretty formulaic enhancement match for Mahal. Neither man means much in the WWE right now, however, so Mahal gained little from this victory.

Back from the break, Matthews set up The Rock video package that debuted at the Royal Rumble… [C]

2. Kelly Kelly and Alicia Fox defeated The Bella Twins in 4:08 The Bella Twins avoided Kelly early, but the faces managed to catch them on the outside and spanked them.

Fox faced off with a Bella when they all got in the ring. The Bella worked quick tags to keep Alicia off of her feet. The Bellas rubbed their butts on Fox's head.

Fox tagged in Kelly Kelly, who hit a thez press from the top rope to enter the ring. Kelly ran through her usual spots before hitting the K2… [C]

Ryan's Rant: Haven't seen Kelly's finisher in quite some time, so that was a nice surprise at the end of a terrible match. I honestly am trying to find something nice to say about that contest, but it was bad even by recent diva standards.

The announcers set up John Cena's hype video… [C]

3. R-Truth defeated Jack Swagger (w/ Vicki Guererro) in a non-title match in 10:41. After an opening flurry from Truth, Swagger took control. Swagger targeted Truth's midsection and locked in a series of rest holds.

Truth battled back and knocked Swagger to the floor. Truth followed with a dive and Swagger sold as the show went to break... [C]

Back from commercial, Truth continued to overwhelm Swagger. Guererro got on the apron and distracted Truth long enough for Swagger to regain control. Swagger hit a Swagger Bomb and locked in a rest hold.

Late in the match, Truth caught a charging Swagger with a boot. Truth ran through his signature spots and set up for a scissors kick. Swagger moved out of the way and hit a series of running forearms. Swagger mocked Truth and set up for another Swagger Bomb. Truth got his feet up, but Swagger transitioned the counter into an ankle locked attempt. Truth kicked him off and hit Lil' Jimmy. Truth covered Swagger for the pinfall victory.

Ryan's Rant: Good match. It was a bit of an unexpected surprise, but Swagger and Truth's styles worked well together. Overall, this is a skippable edition of Superstars. The opening match was passable, the diva's match was not, and the main event was good but by no means groundbreaking.
