-JeriShow is out to start the show with Jericho clutching Bragging Rights as if it is the Stanley Cup or something. Show says he is still a proud member of the Raw roster, and starts to explain his actions. Jericho cuts him off and says he doesn't need to explain himself. He says Show is a man of honor and his loyalty to Jericho supercedes any loyalty he has for Raw. Show tries to tell him something, but Jericho says he has something to tell him first. He thanks Show for stopping the tyranny of DX, but Show again says he needs to let him talk. Jericho cuts him off, and says he knows that Smackdown would have won anyway because he was the mastermind and the genius. Show finally cuts him off, and says he did what he did for him. Show says he did it for his career, as he can be on both shows. He says he struck a deal with Teddy Long, and he's now Undertaker's opponent at Survivor Series. Jericho says he never approved that with him, and they get into a little argument over who needs who and low calorie food (seriously) but they are interrupted by the race car drivers who come barreling into the arena in their race cars. Joey Logano and Kyle Busch head to the ring accompanied by the Bellas. Kyle says they are huge WWE fans, and they are proud to be here on Raw. Kyle tells Show that the fans don't really care for what he did, but he's a man's man and he's with him. He says things are happening for a reason, and congratulates Show. Logano says what he did was wrong, and that's not impressive. Show tells Kyle to teach his friend a little something about respect. Kyle says Joey doesn't know much about Championships, but they're here to win Championships. Oh god, I don't like where this is headed. Kyle says they're in Buffalo. A city that hasn't won a Championship since Hulkamania! BURN! Kyle busts on Buffalo for signing TO, and says soon we're going to be singing "Oh Canada" Jericho doesn't see anything wrong with that. Joey says he gets to book the matches, and tonight Show is going to face the guy he sucker punched. HHH vs. Show tonight. Jericho tries to show off the cup to Joey, but Kyle interrupts and says he's going to book Jericho in a match with Kofi Johns..err…Kingston. Acting fail for the NASCAR boys. Kofi is out and that match is next.

Kofi counters into a rollup for two, but walks in the codebreaker from Jericho. He's slow to cover though, and Kofi gets his foot on the rope at two! Jericho thinks he's won the match, and argues with the ref, but turns around into the Trouble in Paradise. This time in connects, and that picks up the win for Kofi at 13:34. Huge win for Kofi, and a great match. Just what you'd expect from these guys. Great start to the show.
Winner: Kofi Kingston (Pinfall-Trouble in Paradise ***1/4)
Kofi is celebrating on the ramp when he is met from behind by an enraged Randy Orton, who throws Kofi off the ramp to the floor. Randy stands looking over the ramp with that psychotic look as officials check on Kofi. Random, but that's what made it work.
