Grisham and Regal talked about last week's show involving Derrick Bateman insulting Hornswoggle and Titus O'Neil. Horney rushed up the ramp, so Titus helped him chase Bateman backstage. Meanwhile in the ring, former NXT contestant Maxine showed up to attack AJ in the ring.

Bateman gave a shoulder massage to Maxine backstage, saying they will be the most powerful couple ever in WWE. He said they'll be more powerful than HHH and Stephanie, Or Dusty Rhodes and Saphire. Maxine shook her head, then said she needs to take care of Hornswoggle. Bateman said he has a surprise for Horney, so Maxine said she'll have a surprise for Bateman later and started kissing on him.

AJ vs. Maxine

Maxine rolled to the outside early with Bateman ringside to help her regroup. Hornswoggle stayed up on the apron to cheer on his girl AJ.

Maxine gained control and kept a headlock on AJ on the mat. AJ tried to use her feet to power up but Maxine chopped her in the back of the head. Maxine slammed her fists on the mat angry she couldn't put away AJ. Maxine started to yell at Hornswoggle who just waved his hands and acted weird.

Maxine put AJ against the ropes and pressed her legs on the back of her to choke her a bit. She screamed at AJ to give up, then slammed her into the corner for more punishment before tossing her across the ring. Maxine continued to dominate more, screaming at AJ as she put a chinlock on her.

AJ made a comeback with several takedowns and a flying crossbody from off the corner. Bateman went around the ring to stalk Hornswoggle while AJ had control. Bateman shoved Horney down by his head to the outside floor. AJ looked outside to check on him, so Maxine took advantage with the quick rollup pinfall.

Titus O'Neil rushed down to the ring to chase off Bateman and Maxine before they could celebrate much.

Winner: Maxine wins via pinfall over AJ.

They showed an ad for Friday Smackdown saying that Bret Hart will rule as the General Manager for the night in Canada. Also, Sheamus and Mark Henry will fight in their second match against one another.

NXT returned with Grisham sending it to last night's #1 contender match on Raw between CM Punk and John Cena. The winner would get to face Alberto Del Rio at Night of Champions next month. The match was back and forth with both men nearly winning by pinfall. Punk had the advantage at one point, but was interrupted before he could hit GTS because Kevin Nash came walking out from backstage with a mic. He came down towards the ring telling Punk "this isn't over yet!" That distraction allowed Cena to grab Punk and hit AA to win the match.
