WWE Superstars Recap 04.15.10

WWE Superstars from London:

WWE Superstars opened with the pyro firing off and then Todd Grisham and Matt Striker on hand for commentary. Tonight's main event features Raw's MVP vs. Ted Dibiase.

Matt Hardy vs. Carlito

Hardy arrived to the ring with NXT rookie Justin Gabriel, while Carlito came out with rookie Michael Tarver. Tarver continued to wear a strange "T" half mask over his mouth like he was on WWE NXT Tuesday.

Right before break, Hardy re-injured his right arm/biceps while going after Carlito. Carlito charged at Hardy near the ropes, but Matt dropped down with the top rope causing Carlito to fall to the outside. From there, Hardy did an elbow drop to the back of Carlito's head off the apron.

Carlito was in control in the ring after break. In the closing moments of the match, Hardy still was favoring his arm, but managed to gain control near the ropes. Carlito countered a move and went for a Backstabber, but Hardy held the top rope so Carlito crashed to the mat. Matt awaited Carlito's return to his feet. Just as Hardy set up for Twist of Fate, Michael Tarver jumped on the apron and yelled at the ref for distraction. Justin Gabriel ran over and yanked Tarver's leg to cause him to hit the apron face first. Hardy completed Twist of Fate for the victory.

Winner: Matt Hardy wins via pinfall over Carlito.

Ask the Divas segment was shown next with "What is your favorite Karaoke song?". Eve, Gail Kim and Alicia Fox were among the divas who answered in song format.

Christian vs. Chavo Guerrero

Raw's Jerry Lawler and Michael Cole were on hand for the next match. NXT rookie Heath Slater came to the ring with Christian. Christian knocked Chavo over the top rope and then did a running dropkick through the ropes to send Chavo into the crowd barricade. Christian went for a missile dropkick back in the ring, with Chavo countering by grabbing his legs. From there, Chavo catapulted Christian into the bottom rope and did some more damage on the outside, before bringing Christian back.

Christian gained control for quite some time, with a few near falls. Chavo managed to escape Christian's second DDT tornado attempt from the corner. Chavo hit two of his three suplexes, but Christian countered the third then did an inverted DDT. Still Chavo kept coming back, and managed to hit a Gory bomb on Christian for a near fall. Chavo and Christian ended up fighting around the top rope apron area, with Christian ramming Chavo head first into the ring post. Chavo came back to jump on the corner and threw Christian to the mat. He went for the Frogsplash but Christian got both knees up to block, then hit Killswitch for the win.

Winner: Christian wins via pinfall over Chavo Guerrero.

They showed highlights from the latest WWE NXT competition which involved the 8 rookies each speaking on a random topic for 30 seconds. The winner was Wade Barrett who will now get his own original theme music, while the other rookies must continue to use their Pro's theme music for their entrances.

Jerry Lawler sent a thank you out to Saliva for their song "Time to Shine", the official theme song for Extreme Rules PPV 2010 edition.

After a short Randy Orton highlight video, they rolled out the Raw Rebound. It covered this past Monday's main event between Randy Orton and Batista. Orton avoided a Spear from Batista by kicking him in the shoulder, then threw him shoulder first into the ringpost. Next up it was the RKO for The Animal, leaving him flat on the mat. Orton was ready to pin, but Jack Swagger snuck inside the ring to grab Orton and hit the Gutwrench Powerbomb. Once Swagger left the ring and was on the ramp, John Cena rushed down the ramp and knocked Swagger down. In the ring, Cena locked the STF onto Batista until he tapped and several refs had to restrain Cena. Raw closed with Cena hyped up.

Cole and Lawler ran down the 2010 Extreme Rules card so far: Sheamus vs. HHH, Batista vs. Cena, CM Punk vs. Mysterio and Randy Orton vs. Jack Swagger.

Ted Dibiase was introduced before a commercial break. He arrived to the ring with his Million Dollar Championship belt.

MVP vs. Ted Dibiase

They showed Dibiase's in-ring speech from 2 weeks ago on Raw. Dibiase showed off the Million Dollar title, and called himself "the fortunate son" before defeating Christian in a matchup. Dibiase spoke again to the WWE Universe in England. Dibiase talked about how all his dad ever gave him was his last name, a trust fund and the Million Dollar belt. Dibiase told them not to hate him, because they wake up daily wishing they could live like him. MVP's music hit and Montell came out to interrupt the speech. With mic in hand, MVP told Dibiase he could stick all his money and the title somewhere. MVP said just like the fans, he's had to work hard to get where he is today, and nobody cares how much money Dibiase has.

MVP had control of things and went for the running kick in the corner. Dibiase moved away, but as he charged at MVP, MVP elbowed him out of the corner. MVP got on the corner for a move, but Dibiase swiped his leg out causing MVP to hit the mat hard. MVP rolled out to fall to the floor and recover as Superstars went to break.

Superstars returned with Dibiase in control while Lawler argued with Cole about his view on rich people. Lawler said people tend to have a negative stereotype of rich people but then go buy lottery tickets. Dibiase kept a headlock on MVP for a while, before using a running clothesline to knock MVP back down for a near fall. MVP regained control of things though using a series of moves. After smashing Dibiase's face into his knee, it was time for the Ballin' elbow drop. Dibiase rolled onto the apron. As MVP went over to get him, Dibiase yanked MVP throat first across the top rope.

In the closing moments, Dibiase reverse-whipped MVP to the corner. MVP jumped up holding the corner top rope, but Dibiase caught MVP's legs on his shoulders. Dibiase dropped MVP on the top rope, causing him to hurt his groin area. As MVP stumbled back, Dibiase got him from behind with Dream Street for the win. Superstars closed with Dibiase showing off the Million Dollar Belt.

Winner: Ted Dibiase wins via pinfall over MVP.
