RAW goes live at the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Michigan with the announcement that Kofi Kingston will face Jack Swagger, Carlito and The Miz for the United States Championship.
On top of all that, Big Show will face Mark Henry one on one, and Chris Jericho will face MVP.
With that, The American Dream makes his first appearance to the fans of Detroit Rock City.
Dusty Rhodes takes a trip down memory lane as he remembers when he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in this very city. He makes it clear that he’s proud of his son Cody Rhodes, despite his transgressions over the past few months.
He then announces that at Breaking Point, John Cena will face…Cody Rhodes for the WWE Championship.
Why?
Because his son will challenge Randy Orton…for the WWE Championship…tonight!!! And the special referee for this match will be…John Cena!!!!
With that, Randy Orton makes his way out to the ring to confront his boss for the night.
Orton tries to make it personal by saying that Dusty is doing nothing more than winning back his son’s love by giving him this opportunity. As Orton prepares to kick the elder Rhodes in the skull, the younger Rhodes makes his way down to the ring.
Cody comes out and makes it clear that he will indeed accept the challenge of his father and become the youngest WWE Champion in history.
With that, Orton leaves the ring. In the back, Beth Phoenix, Kelly Kelly, Alicia Fox, Gail Kim, Jillian and Rosa Mendes are hearing the rules of tonight’s Six-Diva Battle Royal.
American Dream Six-Diva Battle Royal to Determine the No. 1 Contender for the Divas Championship
Kelly Kelly vs. Gail Kim vs. Beth Phoenix (w) vs. Rosa Mendes vs. Alicia Fox vs. Jillian Hall
As the bell rings, all six Divas go at it with the opportunity to face Mickie James later on tonight on RAW. Phoenix is trying to eliminate Kelly Kelly, but thanks to an inadvertent bump, Rosa Mendes becomes the first to get tossed.
Following the Fox Trot, Alicia is eliminated by Gail Kim. Kim and Phoenix are battling it out after Kelly is eliminated.
Kim starts firing back on Hall as Phoenix continues to regain her composure. Kim looks to be out, but manages to keep from getting eliminated. She hangs on the ropes and launches her over with a huracanrana, but before she can regain her composure, Beth returns and boots her out of the ring to win the Battle Royal.
So tonight, it will be Beth Phoenix vs. Mickie James for the Divas Championship.
Following the Battle Royal, Chris Jericho makes his way out for his match…but not before bashing the WWE Universe that is represented in full force in Detroit.
Chris Jericho vs. MVP (Winner: Christina Jericho)
The bell rings, and the slug-fest begins as Jericho tries to punk Porter. Jericho gets control and starts to exploit the lower back of MVP, obviously setting him up for a Walls of Jericho attempt.
But MVP starts fighting back with right hands followed by a clothesline and belly to belly. As he goes for the Miami Beached, MVP almost gets caught with the Walls. But MVP bounces back with a big boot to the mouth.
