WWE Superstars results 07/01/10:

Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler were on hand to open WWE Superstars with a Raw tag match. Cole asked Lawler if he's doing ok following this past week's beatdown from Nexus. Lawler said he's doing better than he was on Monday.

Yoshi Tatsu & Goldust vs. Primo & Zack Ryder

Cole and Lawler kept talking about the Nexus throughout the start of the match, saying nobody is safe. They said there will be a big announcement about the NXT guys made on Raw by the new anonymous GM. Cole noted that he has no idea who the GM is, and can't respond to any of the emails. They talked about how from a safety standpoint the new GM is in a good position where nobody knows who is the one making the big decisions.

In the closing moments of the tag match, Yoshi Tatsu made the hot tag to come in and take care of Ryder. He chopped him down with a clothesline then hit a kick near the ropes for a near fall. Primo was in to break it up, so Goldust rushed in and took him out with a bulldog. Those two were out of the ring as Yoshi rushed Ryder in the corner. Ryder avoided him causing Yoshi to crash into the corner. As Yoshi was stumbling around, Ryder hit his Rough Ryder for the finish.

Winners: Zack Ryder & Primo win via pinfall over Yoshi Tatsu & Goldust.

They cut to highlights from Tuesday's episode of NXT on SyFy. There was a Keg Carry challenge at the start of the show which Lucky Cannon won to get immunity. In the voting, it was Titus O'Neil who came in dead last and was eliminated from the running. He gave a humble and moving farewell speech before heading backstage. It's now down to just seven rookies on NXT Season 2.

Nikki Bella vs. Jillian

They showed how on last week's Superstars Brie faced Jillian. Nikki switched in place of Brie to steal the victory against Jillian. Jillian got in the ring and appeared ready to sing with her headset. Instead she said she can't sing after what the Bellas did to her last week. Nikki applauded that along with the audience.

Late in the match, Nikki rushed at Jillian in the corner. Jillian moved away but Nikki jumped up onto the corner. Jillian quickly knocked her off though, causing Nikki to fall off the corner to the outside hard. With Nikki down, Brie went over to check on her. Jillian rushed to the outside and clocked Brie from behind. With both Bellas layed out, they both slowly crawled under the ring to confuse things.

One of the Bellas came back out from under the ring, she got up on the apron as the ref continued a countout. Jillian rushed over and knocked her off the apron. Meanwhile, the other Bella snuck into the ring from another side. The Bella in the ring rushed over and grabbed Jillian for the schoolboy pin to win it.

Winner: Nikki Bella wins via pinfall over Jillian.
