PPV Results - Bragging Rights (10/26/2010)

Raw Results: YAY, YOU WON! But you still lost.

MINNEAPOLIS - With Maryse in his corner, a determined Ted DiBiase battled Goldust at WWE Bragging Rights, eager to reclaim the Million Dollar Title The Bizarre One took from him. DiBiase succeeded in earning a victory over his rival, but it was Goldust who walked away from the Target Center with the glittering prize.
Several weeks ago, Goldust began stalking DiBiase’s Million Dollar Title. Since claiming the bling as his own, the golden Superstar’s good fortune has skyrocketed. In addition to upping victory count, Goldust has asked his NXT Rookie Diva, Aksana, for her hand in marriage. And at WWE Bragging Rights, it was the Lithuanian beauty’s help that allowed him to keep the Million Dollar Title.
When Maryse attacked Aksana at ringside, Goldust became distracted, allowing DiBiase to capitalize and defeat The Bizarre One. Aksana then held the Million Dollar Title while flirting with DiBiase after the match, prompting Goldust to hit a devastating Final Cut on his opponent. With DiBiase down, Goldust reclaimed the Million Dollar Title, and left the ring with both of his diamond-encrusted beauties - the title and Aksana.
Surely this isn’t the end of the rivalry between Goldust and DiBiase. Will The Bizarre One walk down the aisle in two weeks with the Million Dollar Title on one arm, and his bride, Aksana on the other? Or will one of Raw’s most angry and arrogant couples, DiBiase and Maryse, try to step in the Golden duo’s way?

Backstage: Josh Mathews caught up with Ted DiBiase and Maryse. Mathews wanted to know how DiBiase plans to win back the Million Dollar Title. Maryse started speaking French, which drew agitation from DiBiase, who interrupted. He said Goldust is weird and he doesn't like him. He credited Goldust for being clever and tricky stealing his property, but he's going to do him a favor by beating Goldust, then taking back his title, and then having his fake NXT girlfriend deported. "Yeah!" Maryse said from behind.
In-ring: DiBiase and Maryse came to the ring first as Lawler said the match isn't necessarily for a WWE title, but it's a prized possession. Out next was Goldust, accompanied by the future Mrs. Goldust. Striker started talking rapid-fire about Aksana "competing on WWE.com every Tuesday night," which just sounds weird. Goldust sat down in the corner before the opening bell sounded.
3 -- TED DIBIASE (w/Maryse) vs. GOLDUST (w/Aksana) -- Possession of DiBiase's Million Dollar Title belt
Goldust dumped DiBiase over the top rope early on. Goldust followed to the outside and rammed DiBiase back-first into the guardrail. Back in the ring, Goldust went up top and DiBiase kicked him in the head to send Goldust crashing to the mat. DiBiase worked over Goldust for a few minutes before Goldust made a comeback with his classic offense. Goldust made a cover and Maryse screamed as DiBiase just kicked out in time. Goldust then missed with a flying cross-body and crashed to the floor. Back in the ring, Goldust recovered and tried to fire up the crowd, but DiBiase dropped Goldust with a spinebuster for a two count.
After a pause, both men came back to their feet as the crowd had a light chant for Goldust. Goldust and DiBiase then collided mid-ring. Silence. Suddenly, Maryse jumped Aksana from behind, which drew the biggest pop of the match. Maryse then flung Aksana into the ring and Aksana began crying. Goldust checked on his "fiancee," allowing DiBiase to nail Dream Street from behind for the win.
Post-match: Maryse entered the ring with the Million Dollar belt to give back to DiBiase, but Aksana tackled her in the ring. Aksana slowly approached DiBiase with the belt and started rubbing his chest. She teased a kiss, then Goldust caught DiBiase from behind with the Final Cut to get the final word on DiBiase. Cole complained about Aksana being deceptive and Lawler made his anti-women remarks, trying to get sympathy on...the heel, DiBiase. They replayed the finish and post-match before showing Goldust and Aksana leaving with the Million Dollar Title belt again.
WINNER: DiBiase at 7:29. Decent match. DiBiase needed a credible victory here, but the post-match wiped that away. Meanwhile, the booking and inconsistent announcer talk continues to be befuddling.
