August 9 , 2010 Monday Night RAW results The August 9 , 2010 Edition of RAW is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s RAW brand , which tool place on August 9 , 2010 at the ARCO Arena in Sacramento , California . Summary . Like a runaway sailboat careening toward SummerSlam , Team WWE fought and flailed as if in the eye of the storm . With just six days left , however , will the crew finally right themselves in time , or are they destined to crash against the rock solid unity of The Nexus ? Oh , Canada ! With just six days until SummerSlam , Bret Hart took a break from training in Calgary to address the further deterioration of Team WWE . The legendary Canadian appeared ready to convince his fellow countrymen , Edge and Chris Jericho , to rejoin the group . First out , the arrogant Jericho proved as condescending and stubborn as ever , rebuffing the advice of the WWE Hall of Famer . Next up , The Ultimate Opportunist praised " Hit Man " before turning on him and attacking . Hart countered and sent Edge to the mat , at which point , Jericho jammed a thumb in Hart ' s eye . The attack came as Edge & Jericho prepare to face The Excellence of Execution & John Cena in a tag team match later in the evening . As the two scoundrels retreated , Hart ' s niece , Natalya , hurried to the ring . She breathlessly informed her uncle that The Nexus had just ambushed The Hart Dynasty — seemingly in an effort to prevent them as replacements on Team WWE . It had been a rough couple of weeks for United States Champion The Miz . Despite capturing the Money in the Bank contract , The Cleveland Screamer found himself stymied during his attempts to cash in . This week , he gained a head of momentum after facing Evan Bourne in a non - title match . Although the high - flyer has been soaring lately , the U . S . Champ clipped his opponent ' s wings for the victory . Ring rust ? What ring rust ? Last week , Melina sent a message to Divas Champion Alicia Fox that she is back and intensely focused on regaining the Butterfly Championship that she had to relinquish due to injury several months ago . This week , Melina ' s message got a whole lot louder . Not only did the homecoming queen defeat Alicia in a non - title bout , but the anonymous Raw General Manager arranged a Divas Title Match between the two at SummerSlam . The Nexus persist in brutalizing any Superstar even considering joining Team WWE . The carnage continued with Mark Henry . In the locker room area , The World ' s Strongest Man asked Team WWE members John Morrison and R - Truth to consider his bout against Ted DiBiase his audition to join their SummerSlam squad . Once The Nexus got wind of Henry ' s hopes , they quickly dashed them by attacking before the match , leaving Henry battered and immobile . In six days , the question will be answered . For now , though , the WWE Universe is wondering : Who will hold the WWE Title after SummerSlam ? The latest evidence to ponder came when current champion Sheamus called out his SummerSlam opponent Randy Orton . As the two fierce competitors jawed back and forth , the anonymous Raw General Manager intervened via email . Through his spokesman , announcer Michael Cole , the GM stipulated that were any Superstar to interfere in the match , they would be suspended indefinitely . The GM also encouraged the Irishman to retaliate against The Viper ' s claim that he ' s scared of him . A melee ensued between the two , and when the dust had settled , it was Orton who had bested his rival . Although The Viper could have punted Sheamus in the skull , he uncharacteristically stopped short and instead , he actually handed the WWE Championship to the dazed Irishman . As the second season of WWE NXT rockets skyward , six NXT Rookies brought their talents to Monday night . Husky Harris , Michael McGillicutty & Alex Riley faced down Kaval , Percy Watson & Lucky Cannon . In the end , it was the burly Harris who snuffed out the agile Kaval to win for his team . It was the third win in a row over Kaval for the " Army tank with the Ferrari engine . " Afterward , a still fuming WWE Champion Sheamus , who had been stewing ringside after his encounter with Randy Orton , charged the ring and further punished Kaval before barking out his frustration to the WWE Universe . Prior to their match against William Regal & Zack Ryder , R - Truth & John Morrison made it clear that they wanted to present a strong , united front . Mission accomplished . Truth & Morrison , both members of Team WWE , demonstrated that they are prepared for their match against The Nexus at SummerSlam , come what may . With their SummerSlam aspirations in question , Truth & Morrison dominated the Brit & the Twit to notch an impressive victory . Ya gotta love summer . In a Triple Threat Tag Team Match , six sexy , smart and powerful Divas flooded the ring in a battle of bikini - clad beauties : The Bella Twins vs . Eve & Gail Kim vs . Maryse & Jillian . As the lucky duo of Santino Marella & Vladimir Kozlov shared referee duties , Brie & Nikki took control and overcame their strong and stunning opponents for the win . The Nexus have officially taken down their biggest prey to date . Earlier in the evening , The Great Khali had challenged Wade Barrett to a match . Before the bout could take place , however , The Nexus ambushed The Punjabi Playboy , clubbing his knee . WWE doctors have determined that The Great Khali suffered patella and ligament damage and is unlikely to compete at SummerSlam . In the wake of the season ' s biggest bash , SummerSlam , Justin Long will roll into Los Angeles to act as special guest host of Raw . As the star of the comedy feature film Going the Distance , the actor promises to bring some must - see action to Monday night . Marvels never cease . In a match that pitted snarling enemies , John Cena & Bret Hart faced down Edge & Chris Jericho in a battle of current Team WWE members against two Superstars who had left the squad high and dry . To dial up the tension , members of The Nexus were stationed outside the ring acting as " lumberjerks . " During the bout , The Nexus simply couldn ' t help themselves . The seven deadly sinners climbed into the ring to confront Cena and " Hit Man . " Confident they had the two where they wanted them , the numbers game tightened when John Morrison and R - Truth shot in to help their fellow Team WWE members . Then the seven deadly sinners appeared shocked when Edge & Jericho eventually turned to help their former opponents . In the end , The Nexus and Team WWE exchanged blows in a slice of what can be expected this Sunday at SummerSlam .
