The global melting pot of WWE Superstars nearly came to a boil last week when the Caribbean Bad Apple, Carlito, and the Italian Superstar, Santino Marella, joined forces in a Tag Team Match against Paul London & Brian Kendrick. These international men of misery managed to eke out a victory over the high-flying duo using their infinite powers of cunning and deceit. The surprise conquest left many in the Raw locker room scratching their heads and wondering why Santino and Carlito formed an alliance now.

Someone looking to delve deeper into the differences between JBL and Chris Jericho need only to go look at their projects outside of WWE to grasp just how polar opposite these two are.

After 20 months at the SmackDown announce desk, John Bradshaw Layfield is returning to the ring ready to throw punches instead of verbal barrages.

Self-proclaimed "wrestling god" John Bradshaw Layfield just can't seem to keep his oversized Stetson out of other people's business lately. Whether he's interfering in a match with Batista & Undertaker, meddling with Rey Mysterio or offering Chris Jericho an intimate look at the bottom of his cowboy boot, the former WWE Champion appears starved for attention—and trouble.

Apparently, Ric Flair isn't ready to ride off into the sunset and spend his days playing shuffleboard just yet. On Monday night, the 16-time World Champion beat back yet another challenge that, were he to lose, would have forced him into retirement from the ring.

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- It may not have been like staring into a crystal ball, but watching Jeff Hardy stun WWE Champion Randy Orton with the winning three-count for his team in tonight's match pitting the "Rainbow-haired Warrior" & Shawn Michaels against the Legend Killer & Mr. Kennedy may have provided a glimpse into the future, nonetheless.

Misery may love company, but—to coin a phrase—victory can get a little lonely, too. With that in mind, Jeff Hardy and Shawn Michaels will celebrate their respective wins at Armageddon last night by pairing up in a Tag Team Match against Randy Orton and Mr. Kennedy on Raw tonight.

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Ever since Mr. McMahon imposed a win or you must retire ultimatum on Ric Flair, the "Nature Boy" has wondered whether each singles match would be his last. He is determined to fight for his career, but he also realizes that one day, it must end. And tonight, it could all come to an end for the 16-time World Champion when he faces the 348 pound Samoan Bulldozer, Umaga.

Divas from ECW, SmackDown and Raw brought their own brand of Yuletide cheer to the squared circle Monday night in a Santa's Little Helpers Match.
