WWE Superstars Results: Driven to Destruction
Prior to their match, DiBiase insulted MVP, Mark Henry & Kofi Kingston just as he did on Raw, referring to them as “street thugs,” but it was The Ballin’ Superstar who was laughing last after pinning the third-generation Superstar Thursday night. Things didn’t look good for MVP with DiBiase focusing on his left arm throughout the match, but the tide changed back in his favor quite quickly. When it seemed as though Cody Rhodes’ distraction would halt MVP’s offensive resurgence, his partner, Mark Henry, came to the rescue. After The World’s Strongest Man took care of DiBiase’s partner, The Franchise Playa took care of Ted by rolling him up and, despite his injured arm, holding on just long enough for the win. Full results.

Update on DSW vs. WWE Lawsuit
WWE has until November 16th to respond to Joe "The Assassin" Hamilton's lawsuit against the company. WWE was originally supposed to respond by November 10th, but were granted an extension. The suit by Hamilton is over WWE severing their developmental deal with Deep South Wrestling. Thus far, the WWE legal team has been able to knock out several of Hamilton's original claims and now it seems to be down to whether WWE ignored their own contractual agreement of providing Hamilton and DSW with 90 day notice that they would be shutting down the territory. WWE has claimed that they were within their rights to shut down DSW.
