Superstars taping
- Shane McMahon vs. Cody Rhodes -- The crowd went nuts when Shane showed up. He got one of the biggest reactions of the night, and the crowd was really behind him. Match went longer than necessary, most likely. Shane got DQ'd when he went to set up the coast to coast with the trash can. Crowd went crazy for the coast to coast.

- Finlay vs. Christian -- Short match. Christian hitting the unprettier on Finlay seemed abrupt, and it looked like Finlay would kick out considering how long Christian took to pin, but he didn't.

Smackdown taping
- Big Show vs. Jeff Hardy -- As soon as Big Show came out, we knew the draft was getting ignored tonight. Crowd was way into Jeff Hardy, who got one of the biggest reactions of the night. But the crowd stayed heavily into him as well. Several HARDY!! chants throughout. Typical long and boring Big Show match. It was saved by Matt Hardy coming out at the end. Matt tried to mess up Jeff but mostly failed. Jeff botched a whisper in the wind on Big Show and then try to go for it again, but this time Big Show failed to catch him. So two botches in a row. Immediately after the second botch, Big Show hit the KO PUNCH~! and it was over. Matt Hardy did a bunch of legdrops on Jeff after, and since it was on Jeff, Matt got major heat. Not really convinced that it would have been this level of heat if it wasn't Jeff. But Matt's crazy expressions and taunts definitely helped ignite the crowd.

- Khali came out and his manager said he couldn't wait until he got to kiss Santina next week. Crowd laughed at Raw recap and seemed to want Santina to come out but it didn't happen. Local girl from the crowd kissed Khali. Probably went too long but crowd liked it because it was a local girl.

- Gail Kim vs. Maryse in a non-title match -- Maryse was in good form tonight. She was tremendously goofy with every expression and taunt. Crowd did not care at all, especially for Gail Kim.

- John Morrison vs. R-Truth -- Morrison didn't get the same reaction as he did earlier in the night. Short match and did not compare to his match with Bourne. Crowd liked R-Truth's entrance. I don't know why. Morrison hitting the moonlight drive seemed too soon.

- HHH vs. Orton face-off. Crowd got into Triple H's entrance and Orton's as well but turned on Orton when they saw he wasn't coming out. Orton talked for a long while, and it was mostly boring. These build-ups to Raw seem so awkward when you're at a live event. It's like they don't care. But the street fight that Teddy Long announced off-air for the WWE Championship between the two redeemed them.
