Match 1 of WWE Bragging Rights....Miz vs. Morrison...

Non-Title IC Champ vs. US Champ Match: The Miz � vs. John Morrison �

Best choice to open IMO. After Miz's entrance we get the video package for the feud. We get a shot of the teams in the back watching this match. DX are the only guys not wearing the colours of their show.

Who woulda thunk that two Touygh Enough alums would open a PPV in 2009? They work some exchanges with Morrison getting control. He reverses a hip toss into a fireman's carry takedown, then knocks Miz down with a pair of shoulder blocks. They point out that this is the first meeting between the two since the Draft. Miz bails to the floor, then comes back in and gets a kick to the gut and a headlock takedown. Miz gets a shoulder block but then eats a flapjack and a standing shooting star from Morrison! That gets 2. Miz gets control right back and stomps down Morrison in the corner, then throws him to the floor, and poses. Morrison slides between Miz's legs to come back in and gets a sunset flip for 2. They exchange rollups, they work some more counters which ends with Morrison getting a clothesline on Miz to send him up and over to the floor. Morrison over the top onto Miz! Back inside and Morrison gets a 2 count. Whip is reversed, Miz charges and Morrison avoids it to get a headscis...NO! Miz catches him and LAUNCHES him to the floor! Ouch. Back inside and Miz hits a back suplex for 2. Modified surfboard applied by Miz. Morrison is able to break the hold but Miz gets a whip and the corner clothesline. Miz goes to the floor and hits a knee lift to the head of Morrison, which is hanging over the apron. 1...2...no. Chinlock applied by Miz. Morrison fights out of the hold and gets a pait of quick rollups for 2. They exchange kicks and punches and forearms in the middle of the ring, Morrison ducks under one from Miz and sweeps the leg! Flying back elbow by Morrison gets 2. He misses the semi-Shinign Wizard and Miz gets a quick schoolboy for 2, but Morrison comes back with a flurry of mounted punches. Morrison ducks a Miz clothesline...FLYING CHUCK! 1...2...2.880! Morrison sets Miz up for Starship Pain but Miz don't want none and goes to the floor. CORKSCREW PLANCHA by Morrison to the floor! Back inside, Morrison! 1...2...no! Morrison sets Miz on the top, tries a superplex but Miz fights him off and hits a double axe handle from the top. He tries the Skull-Crushing Finale but Morrison fights out and hits a Russian leg sweep! STARSHIP NO!!! Miz counters and crotches Miz! 1...2...3!

Winner: The Miz via pinfall (Starship Pain counter). Raw up 1-0.
