United States Champion The Miz def. John Morrison
The topic of the week around the WWE locker room seems to be the unsteadiness of Team WWE before their 7-on-7 Tag Team Elimination Match against The Nexus this Sunday at SummerSlam. United States Champion The Miz boasted to fellow WWE Pro, John Morrison, that John Cena and Bret “Hit Man” Hart practically begged him to join Team WWE on Raw. (WATCH) But The Shaman of Sexy told Mr. Money in the Bank he didn’t want his former tag team partner to join, and challenged him to a match on WWE NXT.
Once again, The Miz proved his awesomeness, defeating Team WWE’s Morrison with a devastating Skull-Crushing Finale just five days before SummerSlam. Will The Miz join Team WWE and make an impact on the 7-on-7 Elimination Match this Sunday on pay-per-view? Or will Morrison and his teammates fight their own battle against The Nexus? (MATCH PREVIEW) Tune in to SummerSlam live this Sunday at 8 ET/5 PT on pay-per-view.
“Showtime” Percy Watson, Kaval & Lucky Cannon vs. Husky Harris, Alex Riley & Michael McGillicutty
The final six NXT Rookies faced off in a Tag Team Rematch of their bout on the previous night’s Raw. (WATCH) While Husky Harris earned yet another win against Kaval on Raw, he wasn’t so lucky on WWE NXT this time. Kaval earned a win for his team after pinning Michael McGillicutty. But was this tag team victory enough for the winners to impress the WWE Pros and secure their safety in this week’s NXT Poll?
NXT Rookie Challenge: Power Punch (WATCH)
