Last week, it became apparent that all is not well in the House of DiBiase. After the Legends Lumberjack Match that he lost to Christian, Ted DiBiase rejected a helping hand from his father, "The Million Dollar Man." This week, the younger DiBiase elected for a rematch, this time without his father or any WWE Legends in attendance. After berating his WWE Hall of Fame father, DiBiase went on to overcome the challenge of Captain Charisma - and show off his father's Million Dollar Championship, which he brought with him to the ring.

Unified Tag Team Champions Big Show & The Miz def. WWE Champion John Cena & Batista by Count-out ; David Otunga arranged Show-Miz vs. Cena & Otunga (PHOTOS)
For the sake of teamwork, John Cena & Batista appeared to try putting animosities behind them. Unfortunately, bad feelings from the last few months came crashing to the fore. In their title match against Unified Tag Team Champions Big Show & The Miz, the WWE Champion and The Animal simply weren't content to let bygones be bygones. Instead, Batista left up the ramp, where his partner chased him down and began pummeling him, prompting the tag team bout to end in a Count-out.

The ending did not satisfy self-proclaimed "A-Lister" David Otunga. As a result, the special guest host arranged a new Unified Tag Team Match: Show-Miz vs. Cena & Otunga, himself!

The sexy, smart and powerful women of WWE really are multi-talented. Not only do they know how to fill out an evening gown, they're not too shabby at wrestling in them either. A "Dress to Impress" Battle Royal pitted Kelly Kelly, Alicia Fox, Gail Kim, Rosa Mendes, Jillian, Katie Lea, The Bella Twins and Eve against one other with the winner earning a Divas Championship Match next week. When the sequins finally settled, it was the gorgeous Eve who emerged victorious and will face Maryse next week for the title.

Sheamus def. Kofi Kingston (PHOTOS | WATCH)
Sheamus continues to demonstrate his piping mad temper. After last week's despicable clubbing of Triple H during his farewell address to friend Shawn Michaels, The Celtic Warrior once again wielded a steel pipe, this time using it to thrash Kofi Kingston -- even when the Irishman had already prevailed in their match.

Afterward, Sheamus called out Triple H, the man who defeated him at WrestleMania. The Game, however, had learned his lesson. As Sheamus threatened to end his career, Triple H pulled out a sledgehammer and nailed The Celtic Warrior, which sent him scrambling from the ring.

Special guest host, NXT Rookie David Otunga, arranged World Heavyweight Champion Jack Swagger vs. Randy Orton and Unified Tag Team Champions Big Show & The Miz vs. WWE Champion John Cena & Batista (PHOTOS | WATCH)
Jack Swagger's manners may be lacking, but his timing last week proved nearly flawless. "The All-American American" cashed in his Money in the Bank contract on SmackDown in the wake of the then-World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho suffering a Spear from Edge. After a mere nine seconds against Jericho, Swagger claimed his first World Heavyweight Title.

In his so-called "State of the World Heavyweight Championship Address," Swagger took the opportunity to verbally jab WWE Champion John Cena, who responded by challenging the chest-beating braggart to a match. Not content flying under the radar, both Randy Orton and The Miz each demanded that they fight Swagger.

Instead, Raw's special guest host, NXT Rookie David Otunga, silenced the raucous row. Otunga, who landed the prime hosting gig by winning an Eight-Man Battle Royal, arranged two matches for later in the evening: Swagger will take on Randy Orton and Unified Tag Team Champions Big Show & Miz will defend their titles against The Champ and his partner … Batista!
