He eventually made the hot tag and Kaval came in with a flurry of moves. Kaval had a guillotine submission locked onto McGill, but Husky Harris rushed in to smash Kaval off. Riley came in as well. Percy Watson was in with a huge dropkick to take out Harris, while Cannon clotheslined Riley out over the top rope.
With Kaval and McGillicutty the only ones left, McGill did a leg sweep kick to trip Kaval down. He prepared for his McGillicutter neckbreaker, but Kaval avoided it. Kaval whipped him to the corner, then hit a huge dropkick into McGill's chest. With McGill layed out near the corner, Kaval jumped off the corner and drove his feet into McGill's chest, then pinned.
Winners: Kaval, Percy Watson & Lucky Cannon win via pinfall over Michael McGillicutty, Husky Harris & Alex Riley.
Striker told the WWE Pros to huddle up on stage and make their decisions for the upcoming Poll. Coming up The Miz and John Morrison go one-on-one.
They showed highlights of the ongoing feud between The Nexus and WWE Raw superstars including last night's main event. Chris Jericho and Edge both quit Team WWE and went against John Cena and Bret Hart. The Nexus served as Lumberjacks. Edge and Jericho eventually left the scene after getting attacked by Nexus on the outside. The Nexus got up on the apron ready to pounce on Cena/Hart. R-Truth and John Morrison came to the ring to stand with Cena/Hart. Soon, Jericho and Edge rushed to the ring to aid them.
Great Khali suffered patella and ligament damage on last night's Raw after being attacked by Nexus. According to WWE medical staff, Khali is unlikely to compete. Josh Matthews and Michael Cole ran down the card for Summerslam PPV 2010 edition.
John Morrison vs. The Miz
During the early part of the match, Cole argued with Josh Matthews about why Team WWE needs to bring The Miz on board. Morrison gained control and hit a huge moonsault style move to pound Miz for a near fall. Miz regained control by driving a knee to Morrison's gut, then stomping on him. Morrison was able to knock Miz to the outside then hit a spinning move over the ropes to land on Miz. NXT went to commercials.When the show returned, Miz had a headlock on Morrison in the ring. Morrison got to his feet and fought out of it, but Miz yanked him down by his hair to the mat. After Miz seemed to dominate for a while, Morrison gained momentum and hit a springboard mule kick to the side of Miz's head for a near fall. Miz was able to kick Morrison in the skull for a near fall of his own.
In the closing moments, Morrison fought from the apron to punch Miz down in the ring. Morrison went for Starship Pain but Miz rolled away, so Morrison landed on his feet and charged the corner. Miz caught him with an elbow to the face. Morrison went for a kick but Miz ducked and Morrison hurt his leg. From there it was all over as Miz hit Skullcrushing Finale for the pin.
Winner: The Miz wins via pinfall over John Morrison.
