The 53rd edition of WWE Superstars came to you from the Izod Center in East Rutherford, NJ and from the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, CT. Just four days before the 2010 WWE Draft, WWE Superstars would feature an inter-promotional battle as John Morrison from SmackDown would go one-on-one with Carlito from RAW. Three nights before he faces former friend and tag team partner, JTG, in a Strap Match at WWE Extreme Rules, Shad Gaspard would be in action on WWE Superstars as he would go one-on-one with “The Bizarre One” Goldust. Also, the lightning-quick Yoshi Tatsu would go one-on-one with New England’s own Zack Ryder.

- Shad Gaspard def. Goldust by pin following Thugnificent.
- Yoshi Tatsu def. Zack Ryder by pin following a spinning heel kick off of the top rope.

When it looked like John Morrison was about to win the match, Michael Tarver got on the apron of the ring and distracted the referee. However, while this was going on, Carlito had managed to roll Morrison up, but the referee was distracted by Tarver and did not see the roll-up. Morrison would come back and hit the Flying Chuck Kick en route to picking up the win.
