WWE Superstars Recap 02.04.10

After the pyro had eruped to kick off the show, Michael Cole welcomed fans to Superstars on the Road to Wrestlemania. To kick things off, a WWE Raw divas tag match. Kelly Kelly and Eve Torres came down the ramp to start off the show. Michael Cole remarked how it's unbelievable we are 52 days away from Wrestlemania 26.

Eve Torres & Kelly Kelly vs. Alicia Fox & Katie Lea

Eve had a nice display of moves during the match including a backwards Celtic Cross slam with Katie on her shoulders. She went to the top of the corner for a Moonsault, but Alicia Fox began shaking the rope from the apron. Eve jumped down and grabbed Alicia by her hair, and Katie ran over to dump Eve over the top rope. Eve fell and hit her leg on the side apron then hit the floor where Alicia attacked a bit. Katie Lea rolled Eve into the ring and targeted her hurt knee. Alicia continued the work on Eve's hurt knee using a half Boston Crab on her.

Eve finally escaped by using her legs to kick Alicia against the ropes and then throwing her with her feet. Eve jumped to make the hot tag to Kelly. Kelly came in on fire and eventually did her handspring move to hip splash Alicia in the corner. She did a sunset flip style pin but Katie Lea ran in to kick her and break it up. Eve rushed back in to help but got kicked in the leg by Katie. Kelly tossed Katie out of the ring and then got a foot up to kick Alicia as she came at her. Kelly jumped off the corner for a cross body but Alicia rolled through and stole the pinfall win.

Winners: Katie Lea & Alicia Fox win via pinfall over Eve Torres & Kelly Kelly.

Cole and Lawler mentioned that the main event tonight is from Smackdown when John Morrison teams up with Matt Hardy and Great Khali to take on The Hart Dynasty and Drew McIntyre.

Evan Bourne vs. Carlito

Early on it was back and forth, but Evan Bourne eventually had control as he knocked Carlito to the outside. Bourne went for a leap over the top rope only to be shoved from the air by Carlito. Lucky for Bourne he landed on his two feet then ducked a Carlito clothesline. Bourne quickly jumped and kneed Carlito to the floor. Bourne rolled Carlito into the ring and climbed up for the Shooting Starpress aka "Air Bourne". Carlito rolled outside the ring to escape the move and catch a breather as Superstars went to break.

Back from commercial, Bourne came back when he was whipped to the corner by hitting a headscissors move. He stayed in control until Carlito blasted him with a foot to the face for a near fall. Carlito repeatedly kicked away on Bourne in the corner of the ring and was warned by the ref. Next up was a slingshot into the bottom ropes for Bourne's face. Carlito worked on Bourne on the mat with a series of submission holds. Bourne got to his feet and broke out by kicking Carlito in the leg.

In the closing moments, Bourne jumped on Carlito's back and took him down into a near fall. Carlito had a near fall of his own moments later. Bourne went over and rolled onto the apron. Carlito tried a suplex over the top rope, but Carlito countered with a knee to Carlito's skull and then a roundhouse kick. He went to the corner again for the high risk Air Bourne, and Carlito got up to kick him. Carlito climbed up on the corner ropes and went for the Superplex. Bourne fought back and turned a Sunset flip into a Powerbomb from the top rope. He climbed the corner yet again and this time got Air Bourne for the win.

Winner: Evan Bourne wins via pinfall over Carlito.

WWE Superstars returned with an Edge promotional video showcasing the Rated-R Superstar's achievements as a multi-time champion, Money in the Bank "Ultimate Opportunist". They showed him spearing down various stars including Matt Hardy, Undertaker and Rey Mysterio. They also showed some clips of Edge's surprise entry in the Royal Rumble 2010 at the #29 spot to eliminate Chris Jericho and then John Cena to win the Royal Rumble.

Matt Striker and Todd Grisham were now on hand for commentary. They introduced the Raw Rebound which highlighted Bret Hart returning to the ring to confront Vince McMahon. Vince called Bret "pathetic" in the ring and said he wasn't going to induct Stu Hart into the WWE Hall of Fame after all. This enraged The Hitman and he began to attack the WWE Chairman. Batista hit the ring and gave Bret a beatdown, then restrained him so Vince McMahon could spit in his face.

Tomorrow night, Smackdown will show exclusive footage of what happened when Raw went off the air Monday night between Batista and John Cena. Matt Striker said the footage is disturbing and destructive.

John Morrison was introduced and was the first man out for the main event tag match, before Superstars went to break. The first commercial shown was for the new WWE show "WWE NXT" on SyFy, coming in several weeks to replace ECW.

Matt Hardy, The Great Khali & John Morrison vs. Drew McIntyre & The Hart Dynasty

Back from break, Great Khali and Matt Hardy were in the ring to have a dance session with Ranjin Singh. The Hart Dynasty theme song hit and they were out to the ring next. Last to the ring was the Intercontinental champ, Drew McIntyre.

The match started off with Hardy and Kidd, then turned into Morrison against Kidd. Kidd gained control of Morrison then McIntyre tagged in to further the punishment. Morrison managed a tag to Great Khali though, who headbutted McIntyre down, then held up McIntyre for Hardy to hit with an elbow drop. Hardy had a near fall, but way too early to put away McIntyre. Hardy used a side headlock on McIntyre, but got kicked in the back by Kidd, then hit in the face with McIntyre's boot kick. DH Smith tagged in to start beating on Hardy, hitting a series of moves including a suplex going to a commercial break.

Back from break, Smith had a side headlock on Hardy down on the mat, working to wear him down. Hardy eventually escaped and in came Morrison to go at Kidd. Kidd whipped Morrison to the corner then ran at him. Morrison jumped up to try to get his legs on Kidd, but Kidd grabbed his legs and threw Morrison over the ropes to the floor. While Kidd distracted the ref, Natalya ran over and kicked Morrison in the gut. After tagging back in, Drew McIntyre rammed Morrison into the side apron for good measure. After some more beatdown from McIntyre, DH Smith tagged in. Morrison made his comeback here as he hit a kick to Smith's head from a handstand on the mat. Morrison made the hot tag to Hardy who came in to go at Smith, eventually hitting a running bulldog for a near fall.

Hardy hit the Side Effect for another near fall, but this time Kidd and McIntyre rushed in to break the pinfall up. They ran over and both punched Khali off the apron. McIntyre instructed DH Smith to put Hardy up in a Bear Hug so he and Kidd could hit a doubleteam finisher. As Kidd and McIntyre went against the ropes though, Khali was there to trip both down and yank them out of the ring. Smith turned and saw it, then came over to grab Khali's hair. Khali responded with a chop to Smith's head, stunning him a bit. Meanwhile, Morrison ran and jumped onto Kidd and McIntyre outside the ring landing in a heap. Hardy managed to hit Twist of Fate in the ring, then tagged Khali in for the Punjabi Plunge and pinfall.

Winners: Matt Hardy, The Great Khali & John Morrison win via pinfall over Tyson Kidd, DH Smith and Drew McIntyre.
