The reality tv show called Project Runway is leaving Bravo tv and is moving to the Lifetime network. One of the reasons why is because they were mad that Bravo (Universal) would force them to put personalities on the show from the other sister networks. The one that really put the nail in the coffin for this relationship is that they had a WWE Diva episode and built costumes for them. The people from Project Runway thought this was beneath them and that it tarnished the fashion industry. They did not want to be associated with "rasslers". They were also pissed that it was one of the highest rated episodes and Universal (Bravo) took credit for it.

HHH & Chris Jericho d. Snitsky & Umaga
HHH & Jericho did the old DX "rock paper scissors" to decide who started. HHH locked up with Snitsky before backing off and grabbing a microphone and telling Snitsky to "Brush your teeth!" - this became the biggest chant of the night throughout the match. He also begged for freshmints or something, anything. Jericho hops out of the ring and gets a stick of gum from a fan. HHH offers it to Snitsky who proceeds to slap it away into the crowd. In what has to be the funniest moment all night, Umaga went hunting for the stick of gum, proceeded to tear off the wrapper and start chewing it which got a huge laugh from everyone! He went on to check his breath with Snitsky who said it was fine, Snitsky checked his breath and it damn near knocked Umaga off of the ring apron! Finish comes with Jericho getting the Codebreaker on Umaga and then Snitsky, before HHH gives a Pedigree to Snitsky to win the match.

Baseball players and owners agreed Friday to more frequent drug testing and increased — but not total — authority for the program's outside administrator.
All players implicated in December's Mitchell Report on peformance-enhancing drugs were given amnesty as part of the agreement, which toughens baseball's drug rules for the third time since the program began in 2002.
Thus, the deal eliminated 15-day suspensions assessed against Jose Guillen and Jay Gibbons...More?

Randy Orton (c) vs. Triple H
Orton came out to easily the biggest heel reaction of the night, while Triple H got the biggest pop of the night.
This was probably the best match of the night, with their being plenty of good bumps, Triple H even throwing Orton into the crowd at one point, as well as huge crowd involvement with Triple H, and Orton Sucks chants, Orton hit the RKO, but the referee was injured, and Triple H kicked out of the eventual cover.
William Regal then came down to the ring, and distracted the referee for Orton to grab his belt, but Triple H hit a low blow and then hit Orton with the belt before going for the cover, which was broken up by an interfering Regal for the DQ finish.
Winner via DQ: Triple H (Randy Orton still WWE Champion)
Regal continued to attack Triple H after the match, but Triple H fought him off, hitting a Pedigree while Orton left the ring, Triple H then chased after Orton, bringing him back to the ring and nailing a Pedigree on him as well, then posing with the WWE championship belt to end the show.

Issues Between HBK & Batista?
From JR's Blog:
A personal issue is what is evolving between Shawn Michaels and Batista and neither have to change their present persona’s to make it work. I keep reading where one or the other and mostly Batista is going to "turn on HBK" but I don’t see that happening. I love surprises as most wrestling fans do, but I think these two men can have their match or matches and HBK will have his fans, as will Batista, but I do expect The Animal to hear more boos than will Shawn. I’m personally invested and interested in this issue.
