WWE Raw

-David Otunga & Michael McGillicutty(w/ C.M. Punk & Mason Ryan) d. The Big Show & Kane to win the Tag Team Titles; Ryan had the referee distracted and Punk broke up a double chokeslam attempt with a cheapshot enzuigiri from the apron, allowing Otunga and McGillicuty to double-DDT Show so McGillicutty could get the three-count.
-Jack Swagger d. Evan Bourne with the Doctor Bomb.
-Michael Cole came out and apologized to everyone, rejoining the broadcast team sans Cole Mine.  He was more withdrawn, but still showed signs of his heelish character...
-Mike Mizanin, frustrated over Alex Riley's perceived incompetence in recent title matches, fired his associate, sparking a brawl in which Riley surprisingly got the better of his mentor.
-Kelly K, Eve Torres, Beth Phoenix, & Gail Kim vs. Women's Champion Brie Bella, Nikki Bella, Melina Perez, & Maryse Ouellet ended in a no-contest when Amazing Kharma interrupted the match; Kharma stood in the middle of the ring as the eight women surrounded her, but just dropped to her knees in an apparent "emotional breakdown"...
-U.S. Champion Kofi Kingston d. Drew McIntyre(n/t) with the S.O.S.; Dolph Ziggler(thankfully back to his regular hair color) and Vickie Guerrero were shown watching the match backstage.
-After a graphic at the start of the show, they did air a full-fledged tribute video for Macho Man Randy Savage...nicely done.
-WWE Champion John Cena & Rey Misterio Jr. d. C.M. Punk & "R-Truth" Ron Killings; Bret Hart was the special guest referee.  Punk(wearing Savage-esque tights) mocked Bret by doing several of his signature moves and even tried to hide behind him at one point.  R-Truth planted Cena with the Paydirt late in the match, but Rey dropkicked him from behind, then escaped a Go 2 Sleep attempt and rana-ed Punk into the ropes for the 619.  Bret decked Punk and put him in the Sharpshooter, then Rey followed up with a springboard legdrop to the back of Punk's head and got the pin after that.
