WWE Superstars TV Results
April 21, 2011 - Week 2 on WWE's website (episode #106 overall)
Taped the Week of Apr. 18
Report by James Caldwell, PWTorch assistant editor

This week's Superstars episode on WWE's website began with Smackdown announcer Jack Korpela introducing the show and plugging the main event of Ted DiBiase vs. Mark Henry tonight. Korpela was joined by Matt Striker for commentary as Tyler Reks came out for the opening match. JTG was out next to face Reks in another match from their regular series on Superstars.

1 -- TYLER REKS vs. JTG

The bell sounded and Reks remained crouched in the corner pulling his hair acting nuts. JTG squatted down to meet him eye-to-eye, which drew Reks's ire. JTG scored with an early dropkick, using the Timbalands to his advantage. Reks took a breather on the floor as the announcers discussed the Draft. Striker suggested Korpela could be drafted to Tampa (FCW). Korpela self-deprecated he hopes he's not drafted to the unemployment line. Back in the ring, Reks smashed JTG out of the corner to take control of the match. JTG momentarily regained control by dumping Reks to the floor, but Reks responded by yanking JTG across the ring apron. They cut to break.

[Break. Draft plug.]

Back from break, Reks was working over JTG in the ring. Striker continued to use his red pen to correct Korpela's commentary as Reks slowed down the pace working over JTG. JTG teased a comeback, but Reks cut him off in the corner and followed up with the Burning Hammer. That was good for a three count and the win.

WINNER: Reks at 9:18. More offense for JTG than usual working with Reks, who continues to pick up wins even if he's not being featured on Smackdown.

Video package: Recap of Edge's career, which came to a close last week when he announced his retirement. ... The announcers plugged Smackdown tomorrow night with Del Rio hosting a retirement party for Edge.

Backstage; Maryse was shown walking down the hallway ahead of her match up next.

[Break]

2 -- MARYSE vs. NATALYA

The bell sounded to start off this week's Divas action. Natalya quickly dominated the action with a surfboard stretch as Raw announcers Jack Korpela and Josh Mathews discussed Maryse's love triangle issues on NXT. Maryse then cut off Natalya to take control of the action. Maryse screamed at everyone to distract from her poor offense as Natalya guided the match. Natalya scored successive nearfalls in her comeback, then missed with a corner attack. Maryse followed with a DDT and it was good for the win.

WINNER: Maryse at 4:10. Plenty of offense for Natalya to offset the loss to a lesser opponent in terms of skill level in the ring.

[Break]

Raw Rebound: R-Truth and John Morrison's opening segment from Raw. The announcers then plugged the Extreme Rules PPV line-up, focusing on the three-way WWE Title match, Orton vs. Punk, the announcers battle, and Christian vs. Del Rio for the World Title.

In-ring: Mark Henry came out to the ring for the main event prior to a final break.

3 -- TED DIBIASE vs. MARK HENRY

The bell sounded and DiBiase quickly rolled to the outside to avoid Henry, which drew boos from the London crowd. Mathews plugged this could be the final ever Henry vs. DiBiase match since the Draft could separate them. Yes, it's time to break up their epic feud. Mathews then turned his focus to no-selling Stanford's attempts at humor as DiBiase continued to avoid Henry. Henry had enough and blasted DiBiase with right hand strikes and clotheslines. Henry then took forever to set up a standing butt squash, allowing DiBiase to avoid the move. DiBiase tried to follow up, but he couldn't get Henry off his feet. Henry then flipped DiBiase over the top rope to the floor. Or "out the door," as Stanford described it. Time for a break.

[Break. This Monday on Tough Enough, Bret Hart is on the show. Good plug for next week's episode.]

Back from break, DiBiase tried to wear down Henry by going after the legs, but he couldn't score more than a one count on the big man. The crowd tried to rally behind Henry (babyface), but Stanford (babyface announcer) rallied behind DiBiase (heel), feeling bad for the guy with all of his issues with Maryse the last week. Henry then made a comeback with a vicious clothesline and measured DiBiase for a big splash, but he couldn't make it to the corner due to DiBiase's knee work. DiBiase then tried a splash from the second rope, but Henry caught DiBiase in mid-air. Henry winced to sell the leg work, then delivered the World's Strongest Slam for the pin and the win. Cue up Henry's post-match celebration will still selling the leg work from DiBiase. And that'll do it for Superstars.

WINNER: Henry at 8:02. Fine match closing the show on a positive note for WWE's audience with Henry overcoming DiBiase's offense to pick up a win. DiBiase could use a hard reset after the Draft.
