SummerSlam is 3 weeks away. This year is going quick. Eddie, Matt Hardy and Shelton have been released.

Raw

Match 1. Santino vs. Wade Barrett

The Barrett Barrage continued tonight. He hit a few rights and lefts and then just tossed Santino in the air, forcing him to land on his stomach. He hit Wasteland at the 4:03 mark, but Santino kicked out of the pin. Barrett hit Wasteland again to win.

Match 2. Triple H vs. Kane

Kane connected with a few right hands and a DDT. He then caught Triple H in a clothesline. A minute later, Triple H hit the Pedigree. Kane kicked out and flipped Triple H over his back. The Game got up and busted Kane open with some mounted punches and won.

Match 3. Orton and DiBiase vs. Edge and Punk

Legacy did a good job of using tag teams moves as they kept Punk and Edge away from their corner. CM Punk was in when Edge came in and punched CM Punk and walked away. This now became a handicap match. Orton hit a neck breaker and an RKO to win.

Main Event. Big Show vs. Jeff Hardy

Jeff hit the Whisper in the Wind and then a Twist of Fate. During the match, the lights went red and Kane's music hit. Kane entered the ring and hit Show with a chokeslam. Show went for a Showstopper, but Jeff blocked it and hit another Twist of Fate. Show landed a back breaker and got the win.

Smackdown

Match 1. John Cena vs. Mr. Kennedy

Kennedy brought in a chair, but it served no purpose. Cena landed the AA, but Kennedy got right up and hit the Mic Check. After putting Kennedy in the tree of woe and choking him, Cena got the win.

Match 2. Sheamus vs. JBL

If JBL loses, he is done with WWE. Sheamus landed a running powerslam, shades of Davey Boy Smith. After a back breaker, JBL connected with the Clothesline from Hell, but only got a 2 count. A few moments later, JBL hit another clothesline to win.

Match 3. Zack Ryder vs. Drew McIntyre

Drew ran to the ring and took down Ryder before the bell rang. After a gut buster, McIntyre hit the Future Shock DDT, but Ryder kicked out. Drew then hit a chop block and slammed Ryder's head against the mat and got the 3 count.

After the match, Drew left to grab a chair and injure Ryder, but Batista's music hit. The Animal is back! 

Main Event. Undertaker vs. Cody Rhodes

Rhodes was able to lift the big man up for a back suplex and then a standard suplex. A minute later, the Deadman woke up, hit Old School and the Tombstone to win.

Recap: Edge turned heel. Batista is officially back and is a face.
