A clip is shown from SmackDown of Big Show knocking out Brad Maddox on SmackDown & suffering a concussion. Maddox won’t be at RAW tonight.

Later tonight, it will be Daniel Bryan vs. United States Champion Dean Ambrose.

Triple H and Stephanie kiss in the ring. Fans boo and she says they’re just jealous. Stephanie runs down the card for Sunday’s Hell in a Cell PPV. Triple H says he trusts Shawn Michaels and respects Shawn Shawn Michaels. Big Show is shown on the big screen via satellite screaming, “Respect? Respect?” He says Triple H doesn’t treat anybody with respect. Triple H says Big Show is a loser and blew all his money. Stephanie is arguing with somebody at ringside trying to find out why Big Show is on the screen. Big Show says he’s suing Triple H for millions of dollars for the money left on his contract. Stephanie tells him to shut up – and he tells her to shut up. Stephanie has his video feed cut off.

Triple H introduces Dean Ambrose, but Daniel Bryan’s music hits instead. Bryan comes out and the place goes nuts. Ambrose comes to the ring through the crowd.

Dean Ambrose vs. Daniel Bryan

They lock up and have a technical exchange, with Bryan getting the upper hand. Very solid match with ring psychology from both men and good selling. Daniel Bryan got Ambrose in a surfboard submission that was very impressive. They’re giving this match time and they’re making the most of it.  Bryan hits a top rope huricanrana and gets a 2 count. Ambrose hits Bryan with a nasty spinebuster and gets a 2 count. Ambrose slaps Bryan in the face and runs off the ropes, but Bryan pulled the ropes down and Ambrose wound up on the outside. Back in the ring, Daniel Bryan is on fire and hitting all of his signature spots. He locks in the Yes! Lock. Ambrose taps and the crowd goes wild.

Winner: Daniel Bryan

Mexico pro wrestling legend Konnan recently spoke about Michael Hayes having heat with several wrestlers and employees in the WWE these days during a recent edition of his MLW Radio show.

Konnan had the following to say about Hayes, including rumors that he may soon be replaced:

“I was a huge Michael Hayes fan, Freebirds fan, when I was growing up, when I used to watch him in Atlanta. Every time I’ve seen Michael, he’s always been very cool with me backstage. But having said that, I will say this, he does have a ton of heat with people. I do know a couple people that told me that if they got fired they would kick his ass before they left the company. And I just found out today that he did get mega heat I guess for having drinks with Rosa [Mendes]. So much so, that he might be replaced. Boom.”

Jim Ross Blog: TNA Bound For Glory, HBK On RAW, Bryan-Orton Contract Signing

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has updated his blog atJ JRsBarBQ.com with his thoughts on last night’s TNA Bound For Glory pay-per-view and tonight’s WWE RAW. Here are some highlights of what he said about:

Tonight’s Hell In A Cell Contract Signing: “The contract signing between Orton and Bryan should not be over thought. It’s the blue light special. An angle alert. Fans expect fireworks and they should be provided such. Another question is fan support of Bryan to begin to wane in his role of the undersized, overachieving underdog? Fans of heroes have to maintain ‘hope’ that their guy can get it done in a fair fight. It’s simple, human nature/psychology.”

HBK On RAW Tonight: “If Shawn Michaels is on RAW tonight then he should be better utilized than last week. A HHH-HBK confrontation in virtually any form would be good TV and it all ties into the Bryan-Orton HIAC match for the WWE Title.”

TNA Bound For Glory: “Someone on Twitter said that I wouldn’t admit it if I watched the TNA PPV Sunday night. Wrong, Einstein. However, I did not watch their show as I was watching the Manning vs. Irsay Bowl on NBC plus my regular Sunday night fare including HBO’s Boardwalk Empire and Eastbound and Down.”

“However, if any company changes five titles in one show, which one is supposed to standout to the average fan? Apparently that’s what occurred. Sounds like TNA hit the “reset” button on the whole shooting match. No dog in the hunt except for my many friends who work there and I’m pulling for them and their families.”
