Dark Match
1. Ted DiBiase defeated Dean Ambrose. DiBiase got a good pop from the crowd that had been sitting in silence for 45 minutes or so. Ambrose got some "What?" chants during his short promo. Solid back and forth action that the crowd was into. Ambrose impressed but lost when DiBiase hit Dream Street.
Superstars
1. Alex Riley defeated Mike McGillicutty. Alex "I still work here" Riley was out to a loud reaction for someone who hasn't been on Raw in months. McGillicutty came out to little reaction. The crowd was behind Riley big time when he was on offense. A huge "We Want Ryder" chant broke out momentarily but died out during match. You could hear crickets when McGillicutty was on offense, In the end Riley hits the TKO to get the win.
2. WWE Tag Champions Air Boom defeated Tyler Reks and Curt Hawkins. Air Boom was out first followed by Reks and Hawkins. Bourne and Hawkins started as Hawkins opened with a slap, which Bourne answered with a swift kick followed by a cool huracanrana. There was a tag to Kofi and they worked some come double team moves on Hawkins. Reks tagged in and and grounded Kofi. Reks and Hawkins dominated for the next couple minutes. Kofi came back with a quick pin on Reks.
3. Justin Gabriel b. Heath Slater after hitting a 450 splash.
4. Hunico b. Ezekiel Jackson after botching a top rope senton.

Two good things here.
One, Dean Ambrose in front of a live RAW audience. Two, Daniel Bryan is not defending his title on Superstars. Yet.

According to our man on the scene (@cmwaters), the other matches are Riley v McGillicutty and Air Boom v Hawkins/Reks.

What!? Hell frickin' yeah! That match sounds like a must watch, at least.
EDIT: Oh, it was a dark match? Disappointed. Meh, I might watch for the tag match.

Damn I was kind of hoping for Hawkins and Reks to win. Still, watching Superstars for that match!

If Bryan defended the World Title on Superstars, that would actually beneficial to the entire card. I watch Superstars regularly and would love to see a World Title match as the main event. The problem is not that wrestlers are "stuck" on Superstars. The problem is that people are apathetic towards Superstars and don't bother to watch it.

Reks/Hawkins return to superstars! I guess its Yoshi & Trent's time to be on NXT this week.

Remember when Jackson was Intercontinental champion? Because I don't.

* Hunico b. Ezekiel Jackson after botching a top rope senton. The way that's just casually stated is so funny! Looks like those Jackson hype packages were rather pointless. At least Hunico's still being pushed, even if it is on Superstars.

I am glad that they still seem to want to make Hunico look like a credible competitor, but it just seems weird to me that he'll have been off of tv for three weeks straight now (no, a brief appearance in the roster line up for TTTT doesn't count, haha), if he's not on SD at all tonight (which I doubt will happen since he's on Superstars).
