WWE Superstars Recap 04.08.10

Superstars started off with Team LayCool coming to the ring with Vickie Guerrero. Team Laycool came to the ring with Vickie Guerrero. She did her "excuse me" bit to get the crowd going. McCool talked about how Beth Phoenix was complaining she wasn't getting a Womens title shot. Michelle said Beth Phoenix is a man, "chromosome-challenged". They kept going on with the insults about the "Manazon", and Vickie thanked them for doing this work. Vickie said rule #1 for the divas division, you must be a diva, so she can't have a Womens Championship match. Vickie said instead she'll face Layla tonight in an Intergender match. A not-so-happy Beth Phoenix made her way to the ring, with Layla looking terrified.

Beth Phoenix vs. Layla

Beth went after Layla as soon as the bell rang, so Layla rushed out of the ring to hide. She got back in but this time ducked out under the ropes several times to avoid Phoenix. As Beth came towards her, Layla kicked her in the head then gave several more kicks. Finally, Beth Phoenix took her down with a chop, then lifted her with both hands to sit Layla on the corner. Beth tossed Layla off the corner, then grabbed her legs as Layla held the ropes. Beth dropped Layla to the mat, then got down yelling at her to "say it to my face." Michelle got near the ring to grab Beth's leg, so Beth jumped outside and went after her and Vickie. She knocked Vickie down, then realized who she had hit.

Michelle interfered from ringside with the ref not looking, allowing Layla to get the upperhand briefly. Beth stood up as Layla had a headlock on her and rammed her to the corner. Layla tried to jump off the corner, but Beth caught her then hit a backbreaker across her knee. From there it was the Glam Slam for the win.

After the match, McCool ran in to attack Beth as Vickie held her leg from outside. Phoenix ended up grabbing McCool onto her shoulder and kicking Layla down, before dumping Michelle out of the ring. Team Laycool and Vickie all rushed up the ramp.

Winner: Beth Phoenix wins via pinfall over Layla.
