Back from the break and out comes The Miz and Alex Riley. Miz says he has accomplished more in his career than anyone in the arena can dream of achieving in their entire life. Miz says no matter how superior he is, he’s not a miracle worker. Miz says he overcame hardship at Bragging Rights and lasted longer than any RAW Superstar but they still lost to SmackDown. Miz continues to put himself over.

Miz says he’s the poster boy for the new SmackDown vs. RAW 2011 and shows the cover on the big screen. Miz isn’t the centerpiece star but he’s on there. Miz says if THQ really wants to make money, they should do a cover like this and shows another that has three images of himself on it. He says Team RAW should have been made up of seven Miz’s. Miz blames his team, SmackDown and Rey Mysterio for the loss. Miz challenges Rey Mysterio to come to RAW next week. Miz says people watch RAW to see him because he’s The Miz and the only person on the RAW roster that say he’s awesome. Eve Torres’ music hits and out she comes to the ring.

Eve enters the ring and Miz says he knows she’s here to apologize on behalf of all the Divas. Miz rips on the way her hair looks and her taste in men. Eve says she isn’t apologizing for anything. Eve says Miz needs to worry about how everyone knows he’s nothing but a brainless, flash in the pan, uninspired, frog-faced loser. She threw in a bunch of other names before coming to frog-faced loser. Miz asks the fans if they think he’s a frog-faced loser and they do. Miz insults the Green Bay Packers and calls everyone losers as well. Eve interrupts Miz and says he’s the furthest thing from awesome we’ve seen and calls him ugly. Alex Riley interrupts and tells her to hush.

Riley rips into Eve and says he doesn’t speak Gucci or anything but the Team RAW guys aren’t here tonight because they’re tip-toeing to unemployment. Riley tells Eve to go back in the locker room and see if anyone wants a piece of The Miz. Eve goes to leave the ring when R-Truth’s music hits and out he comes. Truth raps his way to the ring and asks the crowd what’s up. Truth says he wants a piece of Miz and calls him Kermit. Truth says Eve told the truth and we all know the truth hurts. Truth says he doesn’t have a problem showing Miz that the truth hurts. The e-mail alert goes off and Cole steps up to the podium. “Ding ding ding” is all Cole says and we have a match.

Miz is backstage with Alex Riley, celebrating Bryan’s win and taking credit for his training. Sheamus comes in, laughing, asking who in their right mind would take orders from The Miz? Miz says that he’s the captain, not Sheamus. CM Punk comes in and says that Miz is barely Captain Crunch, and things begin to break down with everyone arguing. Santino comes in and calms everyone down, asking if there are snacks and beverages. Punk says they need to strategize, and he’s spent time on Smackdown recently, and he should be giving orders. Santino orders Sunchips. Sheamus gets in Miz’s face and says if anyone gets in his face, he’ll do something to them. Miz turns to Punk when everyone walks off, and says they need to unite tonight for the sake of Raw. Punk laughs and says only some of us are awesome. Riley complains about the team and says Miz needs to get it together. Miz says the team is exactly where it needs to be because where there’s chaos, there’s opportunity, and they’ll take down Team Smackdown.

In the ring, Team Raw opposed Team Smackdown on opposite sides. It was weird to cut to the shot of all14 of them already in the ring. Teddy Long was in the ring with the Bragging Rights trophy and a microphone, detailing the match scheduled for Sunday. Long said that for the first time ever, he’s going to allow the wrestlers to make the matches tonight on Smackdown. Who made Orton vs. Kane then? He allowed The Miz to get the mic first and he predictably trash-talked Team Smackdown. He said he has already proved his superiority over Big Show, so tonight, he’ll be in six-man tag action, teaming with Ezekiel Jackson and Sheamus. Show had a mic and said Miz is hiding behind big men, just like he hid behind him when they were a tag team. Show asked Miz if he still wet the bed. Show countered with Kofi Kingston and Rey Mysterio as teammates to oppose the three-man Raw team.

Edge was next, and he said he wanted a one-on-one match. He called out the most sanctimonious superstar on either brand: C.M. Punk. John Morrison challenged someone who thought he was better than everyone, and who thinks he’s too good to be here. That would be Alberto Del Rio. Jack Swagger said it doesn’t leave a whole lot for him, so he’s choosing the Raw superstar whose finishing move is worse than the Sharpshooter (cheap heat). He challenged Santino Marella. Long seemed to sign off on all the matches, and wanted to start the show with the six-man match.

THE BIG SHOW & REY MYSTERIO & KOFI KINGSTON vs. THE MIZ & SHEAMUS & EZEKIEL JACKSON

This kind of takes the luster off of the seven-man match this Sunday, especially seeing some of these guys interact for the first time. Case in point, Sheamus started things off with Mysterio. Sheamus’ power got the best of Rey’s speed, at least early on. Mysterio tagged Kingston, who landed a springboard cross-body for a two-count. He kicked away at Sheamus, but Sheamus put him down soon after. Kingston low-bridged Sheamus, and Mysterio dropped a seated senton on him. They went to break about 2:30 into the match, with Sheamus still recovering on the outside.

Jackson was in there with Sheamus out of break, and Striker tried to talk about Jackson’s character. The Raw team isolated Kingston and made frequent tags to keep him from bringing a fresh man in. Kingston got close a couple times, and finally kicked Miz off to make the tag to Big Show. The match broke down with all six men getting involved not long after. Miz came off the top rope and right into a chokeslam. Rey climbed on Show’s shoulders and splashed Miz for the win.

WINNER: Team Smackdown, at 8:38.

EDGE vs. CM PUNK

Punk had Edge in a body-scissors upon return. Punk went flying, but Edge caught his springboard attempt and turned it into a bodyslam. Both men were down. They traded punches in the middle of the ring, broken up by a few kicks from Punk. He missed a head-shot and the two exchanged counters until Edge came out on top. Suplex attempt, but Punk pushed him away and got him up for a GTS. Edge-O-Match by Edge, but Punk kicked out literally, with a kick to Edge’s head. Grisham called Edge a “future Hall-of-Famer.” That’s probably true. Both men appeared frustrated that they couldn’t get the upper-hand to this point. Running knee in the corner by Punk, but Edge turned the bulldog into an Edgecution DDT for two. Edge climbed to the top turnbuckle, but Punk crotched him. He went up and tried to suplex Edge down, but Punk sent him to the mat. He climbed off the top and set up for the spear. Before he could hit it, The Miz and his flunkey, Alex Riley, came to the ring and pulled Edge out of it. They attacked him on the outside for the DQ.

WINNER: Edge, via DQ, at 13:16.

Kofi came out to attack and threw Riley out of the ring, but Miz gave him the Skull Crushing Finale. Each member of the two teams came out one-by-one and hit one of their pet moves on an opponent, until another person came out from the opposite team and took them out. Mysterio was the last one out, hitting the 619 on Sheamus until Punk came back and attacked him. Edge speared Punk, leaving Smackdown again with the upper-hand. The Smackdown team closed the segment with all of their arms raised in the ring.
