Raw
Match 1. Jack Swagger vs. Chris Jericho
Jericho landed a springboard moonsault from the second rope and then a back breaker. He climbed the ropes again and connected with a diving elbow. He then landed back-to-back Codebreakers for the win.

After the match, Jericho checked on Swagger, but he was faking it and low blowed Jericho.

Kidd landed a swinging neck breaker and went for the pin, but Jimmy kicked out. Kidd and Gabriel landed a snapmare/dropkick combo on Jimmy. The Usos gained the upper hand and landed a back breaker/diving elbow on Gabriel. Jimmy then ran back first into a sitting Gabriel. Justin recovered and landed a spinout powerbomb.

Impact
Match 1. James Storm vs. RVD
RVD brought in a chair and then began kicking Storm in his calves. After a rolling heel kick, RVD hit a rolling fireman's carry. He picked Storm up and kicked him in the back of his head. They don't call RVD the man with the educated feet for nothing. He ended with a 5-star Frog Splash to win.

SURVIVOR SERIES, Year 5

The default card was pretty good, so I left a couple of matches.

Match 1. TNA vs. WWE - SinSterio and Sheamus vs. MCMG and Mr. Anderson
My 6-man tag matches are always long, so I wonder how long an elimination 6-man tag match will be. Anderson hit Sheamus with a Mic Check, but he kicked out.

The Rock made it worse for TNA as he pinned Sting and quickly ended it soon after as he pinned Angle.

HELL IN A CELL, Year 5

As we enter the second PPV in October, this is flying by. The two main title matches will take place in a Hell in a Cell.

Match 1. Team Hell No vs. Sandow and Del Rio   WWE Tag Team Championship
This match went over 11 minutes and was a good way to kick off the PPV. Kane and Del Rio started it off. Del Rio and Sandow landed a clothesline/spear combo on Kane.

Match 3. Miz vs. Jack Swagger   United States Championship
Miz is allowed to defend either the IC or US titles. What's this? Vickie is also accompanying Swagger to the ring. Swagger was in control for most of the match. Vickie climbed the apron to distract the referee. Miz was called for a disqualification, but he retains the title.

Match 4. Randy Orton vs. Wade Barrett
Wade hit a back breaker then busted Orton open with some right hands. Mark Henry slowly walked down to the ring with a chair. Orton landed an RKO. Big Show then ran out from the crowd and broke up Barrett's pin. Wade landed a swinging slam and Wasteland to win.

October Week 3, Year 5

Hell in a Cell is this Sunday.

After the match, there was an announcement the match would restart as a submission match.

Cena locked in a camel clutch. Kane was on the verge of tapping, but he broke out of it. After about the 10th AA, Cena locked in an STF and forced Kane to tap.

Impact
