Taped earlier in Las Vegas, Nevada and Tucson, Arizona

1. Zack Ryder beat Drew McIntyre in 5:24. Ryder received a huge pop, and Drew actually got a healthy dose of cheers. Drew dominated early with some very stiff shots to Ryder's head. Ryder battled back and sent Drew to the floor. Ryder hit a springboard cross body to the outside on McIntyre.

McIntyre regained control with a very brutal backbreaker on the apron. Drew drilled Ryder with a dropkick and then kipped up. Ryder tried to come back several times throughout the match only to get thwarted by Drew's nonstop offense.

Ryder eventually battled back and hit the Broski Boot in the corner. Ryder went for the Rough Ryder only to eat a Sky High powerbomb by McIntyre for a great near fall. Drew went for his Future Shock DDT but Ryder reversed it into a pinning predicament and scored the win… [C]

Ryan's Rant: This wasn't the best these two can produce, but they showcased a few new spots from both men and McIntyre looks good hitting a Sky High powerbomb. Can we please see these two get a program on Raw?

Back from commercial, they showed us the footage from Smackdown with Orton and Christian's contract signing getting interrupted by a returning wrestler… [C]

2. Alicia Fox defeated Natalya in 10:24. Alicia's new Rihanna hair is terrible. Natalya just played with Alicia to start and worked some great chain wrestling. Natalya ripped a bit of Alicia's hair out.

Natalya continued to work some comedy spots and made a few sarcastic comments throughout that fell flat. Alicia finally nailed Natalya with a slap… [C]

Back from the break, Alicia had Natalya in a rest hold. Alicia then bit one of Natalya's nails off and spat it in Natalya's face.

Late in the match, Natalya unloaded on Alicia with a stall suplex and a discus clothesline. She went for the Sharpshooter but Alicia kicked her in the face and rolled Natalya up for the win… [C]

Ryan's Rant: Natalya is not made for comedy spots, She does not have the personality for it and she really needs to focus on showing a woman's match that is well wrestled and prove that casual fans should pay attention rather than use the division as a sign for a bathroom break. Don't let that time fool you, most of that match was commercial break and stupid, crappy comedy.

3. Wade Barrett defeated Don Gonzales in 2:16. Gonzales is a local boy from Tucson. I smell a squash match.

Gonzales kicked the match off slapping Wade which led to him getting devoured. Barrett absolutely drilled the kid with kicks and found creative ways to choke him on the ropes.

Barrett nailed Gonzales with another big boot and left the kid lying on the apron as "USA" chants broke out. Gonzales tried to have some offense but ate a black hole slam instead. Moments later, Barrett hit wasteland and got the effortless 1-2-3... [C]

Ryan's Rant: Squash matches are great and all, and Barrett could certainly gain something from getting a few of these under his belt, but a Superstars appearance won't do anything for him.

The show concluded with a complete recap of the John Cena promos and his confrontation with Vince McMahon on Monday Night Raw.

Ryan's Rant: The show recaps are an absolute waste of time for the online version of this show. These matches were alright. Squash matches don't bother me as much as they do some, the Divas match made my mouse hover over the X on my browser, and the opening match between McIntyre and Ryder was entertaining even though it was short. Overall, this was another Superstars with absolutely nothing cool or newsworthy happening, and only one thing was truly terrible. Thanks for following along with me and I will see you all next week.
