WWE Superstars Results: Making Money

Although he clearly underestimated his opponent, Jericho quickly realized that he was in the ring with an explosive Superstar. Attacking the former WWE Champion with sharp kicks and painful strikes, Tatsu came within a hair of scoring a major upset. Unfortunately, Jericho’s veteran smarts kicked in as he locked on the Walls of Jericho to pick up the win. Full results.

Rumor Mill - WWE To Turn Top Superstar Heel & Put Them With Nexus?
WWE is toying with the idea of turning a top Superstar heel and have them be the person behind The Nexus angle. The main people being pitched for a heel turn are Triple H and believe it or not, John Cena.
Cena turning heel would be a risk because of his popularity with kids and everything else, including merchandise. Triple H has wanted to turn heel for a few years now but with injuries to him and his co-workers, they haven't had the right time to turn him.
