WWE Superstars returned with Cole and Lawler introducing the Raw Rebound. It started with Wade Barrett along with the other former rookies telling why they attacked Cena, the ring and everyone around it last week. They did it to make a statement. Bret Hart came out to tell them what they did was cowardly. Barrett said he's got a WWE contract and guaranteed title shot. The other NXT guys wanted contracts, but Hart said no way and also fired Barrett.

Later still, John Cena arrived to the ring and called out the NXT guys who attacked him. They showed up, but so did members from the Raw roster like Mark Henry, Edge, Sheamus, Orton, Mark Henry and Santino Marella. They chased off the NXT guys out of the arena.

Later in the night, it was the main event of Cena/Orton vs Sheamus/Edge. Bret Hart called all of the Raw roster members out to stand on stage and keep the peace. During the main event, the lights went out in the arena. The NXT guys were backstage destroying the place, where they also grabbed GM Bret Hart. They loaded him into a limo and had it driving around in the parking garage, smashing into parked cars. They eventually pulled Bret Hart out and put him against a smashed car. Barrett said they want an answer by Sunday.

Cole and Lawler talked over what happened. Cole said Bret Hart is suffering physical and emotional issues as a result of Monday's abduction. Lawler asked if Bret will cave in and agree to these "cowards'" demands on Sunday. They brought up the matches for this Sunday's Fatal 4Way PPV including the WWE and World Championship Fatal Fourway matches.

As Jimmy turned around, Henry clotheslined him down hard. Jerry Lawler discussed how The Usos came to the WWE and attacked Hart Dynasty, then got contracts from Bret Hart. Michael Cole said the NXT guys attacked WWE personnel as well as the arena and ring. Cole said if he were Bret Hart he wouldn't give them a contract.

In the late stages of the main event, The Usos worked a doubleteam on Mark Henry with him down on the mat. They kept tagging in and out kicking away and pounding on Henry. Lawler questioned if the strategy was hurting Henry or making him angry. Henry was finally able to make a move to reach over and tag in Goldust. The bizarre one came in on fire, knocking around Jimmy Uso. Goldust was up on the corner pounding away. He got shoved off, but followed with a powerslam as Jimmy rushed at him. Goldust had a pinfall, but Jay came in to break it up.
