Jerry Lawler and Michael Cole recapped what happened in the matches between Big Show vs Mark Henry, Alberto Del Rio vs John Cena and the tag team match between Cm Punk & Triple H vs Awesome Truth at Vengeance.

Triple made his way to the ring. Hunter said that this is a tough business and that you can either make friends or money. Hunter also said that he felt lucky because he made money and made friends in the business of pro wrestling. He said that he thought he made some true friends. He listed Shawn Michaels, Sean Waltman and Kevin Nash as examples. He stated that he thought Nash was one of those good friends but that as soon as he came into power that Nash changed for the worse. Hunter made the NOW/ Kliq hand sign and said that he thought that was forever. Triple mentioned that Nash broke his heart. Hunter mentioned that he wants to take it out on Nash and called him out to the ring. Triple H made it clear that he doesn’t want to talk to Nash he wants to kick Kevin Nash’s ass. John Laurinaitis made his way to the ring. He said that Nash is at home watching Raw. Hunter told John Laurinaitis that he better not step in the ring because it won’t end well for him. Laurinaitis told Hunter not to embarrass the company. Hunter demanded that John Laurinaitis find Kevin Nash so that Triple H could kick his ass. He said that while John Laurinaitis is The GM of Raw that Hunter is The C.O.O. of The WWE. He told Laurinaitis to offer Nash a contract so that Nash couldn’t say no. Hunter made it clear that he would go to jail for what he does to Nash. As Triple H was at the top of the ramp going to find Nash Kevin Nash attacked Hunter with a sledgehammer. Laurinaitis told Nash that he wasn’t supposed to be in the building tonight. Nash shoved the security that came to Triple H’s aid. Nash walked to the back. The officials walked Hunter to the back.

Rosado’s Run In: Great start to the show. I just hope that Laurinaitis is exposed as the one who is allowing Nash in the buildings

The Bellas were backstage talking when Zack Ryder came by and said that he will be John Cena’s tag team partner for tonight’s tag team main event.

Rosado’s Run In: It was great to see Santino back on TV. He is an entertaining act. Mason Ryan continues to be positioned to take on Ziggler for The US Title. Here’s hoping Ryan doesn’t win the title. I can name 10 more superstars who are ready to win that title before Ryan. I am also happy to see that Ryder is getting a main event spot with the likes of Miz and John Cena. Ryder has a great following thus far

Alberto Del Rio made his way to the ring. Del Rio insulted the crowd in Spanish. He bragged that he defeated John Cena last night to retain The WWE Title. He stated that he is the better man. He told the crowd that he is done with John Cena. He also said that no one in The WWE is better than him. Cm Punk made his way to the ring. Punk said that he has beaten Del Rio many times. Punk mentioned that he never received a one on one rematch after Del Rio cashed in his money in the bank briefcase. Del Rio told him that he wasn’t worthy and that Punk lost his match last night at the pay per view. Del Rio told Punk to talk to him when he beats someone important and that Punk was at the back of the line for a title shot. Punk said maybe Del Rio is right and maybe he doesn’t deserve a title match. Punk said that maybe he will put Del Rio to sleep anyway. John Laurinaitis made his way to the ring and said that he was the boss not Triple H. He said that he will make the title match at Survivor Series if Cm Punk tell him that he respects him.  Punk asked John Laurinaitis if he was Aretha Franklin? Punk told him that The WWE isn’t any more safe or better with John Laurinaitis in charge. Punk told him that he respects “Funk Man”. Laurinaitis told Punk that he had another chance at telling him that he respects him. Punk said that he doesn’t respect Laurinaitis. Laurinaitis told Punk that he doesn’t think Punk is worthy of a title shot and that he has to think about it another week. Punk told him to think about it and attacked Del Rio. Laurinaitis and Del Rio left the ring. Ricardo Rodriguez tried to leave as well but Punk got a hold of him and hit him with The Go To Sleep.

Rosado’s Run In: As a fan of Cm Punk I couldn’t be happier with the fact that Punk is next in line for a title shot. Punks aggression on the mic was great

Rosado’s Run In: The Divas division is not very deep right now. They only have a few Divas that can go in the ring. If I were WWE I would give Eve another title shot with how great she performed last night against Beth Phoenix

Rosado’s Run In: Why must WWE continue to bury John Morrison? Also why does Vince McMahon think it’s so funny to make fun of JR? No one thinks it’s funny but him. Lay off JR. He is the greatest play by play guy in the business
