Gold light ahead
WWE Tag Team Champions John Morrison & The Miz successfully defended their titles against Tommy Dreamer & Colin Delaney on the last ECW. Still, the duo of the ECW Original and the young Superstar proved to know the formula to defeating the WWE Tag Team Champions a week earlier.

With the match being Extreme Rules, Dreamer & Delaney certainly have the advantage, thanks to Dreamers experience in the Land of the Extreme.
ECW Champion Chavo Guerrero, retained the gold on the last ECW, but he is hardly safe. CM Punk vowed to keep coming back for more until the title is his.

ECW Original Stevie Richards was slowed down by the self-proclaimed Gold Standard of ECW, Shelton Benjamin.

Final Stretch
As we get closer to "The Granddaddy of Them All," are we seeing the last of certain Superstar streaks? Last week on SmackDown, World Heavyweight Champion Edge pinned Undertaker, albeit in a 3-on-1 Handicap Match. Will this loss inject more fire into The Phenoms heart, or is it an indication that his 15-0 WrestleMania streak is in jeopardy? How will the champion deal with an angry Deadman?
Having never lost to Undertaker, he has his own streak to protect. When it comes to facing the Undertaker, I am the true phenom, the champion said last week on SmackDown. Will this hold true?
This week on SmackDown, the legendary Ric Flair will face Edge, Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder in a 3-on-1 Steel Cage Handicap Match. Despite putting his career on the line ever since the Chairmans mandate lose and he must retire this match is not slated to be career-threatening, but that doesnt mean his body isnt threatened. We wont jeopardize your career, just your physical well-being, said the gloating champion last week on SmackDown. Is Edge right? Is this the end of the line for Space Mountain?
Regardless of what unfolds inside the steel cage, come WrestleMania, Flairs career will be on the line against Shawn Michaels. How many more times will we get to see this true legend compete on SmackDown?
Holding his United States Championship title since May 2007, Montel Vontavious Porter will face Batista in a title rematch this week. MVP lost to Batista twice in recent non-title bouts, and squeaked out a win last week when Batista was counted out. Can MVP retain his title, or will The Animal go to WrestleMania as the new U.S. Champion?
WWE Divas will be looking to hold onto a streak of their own, as they continue their Swimsuit Competition. Unfortunately, one Diva will be eliminated from the competition as decided by your voting.
