Re: Calum Presents: WWE 2009 - The Fear That's In Your Eyes

Last night’s Backlash was believed to be a successful event, in regards to match quality and drama involved, but one blip on the radar was the injury of Shawn Michaels. Actually, the injury wasn’t really an injury at all if rumour is too believed. It was the plan all along to take Michaels out of the match, and have him take some time off before a big summer angle which he will need all his strength and skill in the ring for. We don’t know when he will come back, but rumours are saying it’s between one and three months.

The Miz and John Morrion are apparently receiving rave reviews after their performance last night, and Chris Jericho is being heralded backstage after he has made The Miz into a star on the RAW brand. Jericho and Miz is rumoured to continue, they will team together now and then but they won’t be an official tag team, instead The Miz is likely to face off against John Morrison and Jericho will probably be thrust into the main event scene where many feel he belongs.

As for the WWE Championship, Randy Orton became WWE Champion last night, after he punted Triple H the skull. This leads us to believe that Triple H will be out for awhile to allow Orton to develop as the top star in the company. However, after Orton RKO’d Stephanie, we expect his feud with the McMahon’s to continue for some time. Apparently creative wanted Triple H to win the match and retain the title, as they have made Orton to be such a big star now, that they don’t a big enough face to compete against Orton for the title. Triple H had to be put out with the punt because of nagging injuries so the only top faces left on RAW are Kofi Kingston and possibly CM Punk, Batista is still injured and there has even been talk of turning Chris Jericho face to feud with Orton.

Speaking of CM Punk – officials were impressed with his match with Kane last night, and the cutting of the hair was the plan all along, CM Punk protested to that but realized it was for the good of his character development and we should see a new CM Punk in the coming weeks and months.

Meanwhile, creative are especially impressed with Kane, many believe he has been rejuvenated and has played his new character extremely well. There is no plan to return the mask, creative feel that would be going backwards but Kane should be a top player on RAW for the weeks to come, with a possible WWE Championship match touted.

On the SmackDown side of things, many feel the Jeff Hardy and his brother, Matt put on the match of the night. The spot at the end wasn’t actually planed, it was only supposed to be the announcers table that Jeff went through but Hardy decided to put the other table on top to make the spot seem more impactful. And it was, many in the arena and backstage feared for Jeff’s health when Arn and Dean were checking on him, they threw up the X sign but Jeff protested he was alright and wanted to finish the match. We expect Jeff to take no more than a couple of weeks off before coming back, possibly to get involved in the Cena/Matt Hardy program that people have been touting.

Many feel now this is the time to strike, Matt Hardy after his victory last night is probably the hottest member of the SmackDown roster, it’s only a matter of time before Hardy gets a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship.

Bobby Lashley returned to the WWE last night in a move that was well received by many backstage, Lashley and his differences with the ‘E were resolved and he made his re-debut last night by beating Vladimir Kozlov. Expect Lashley to continue feuding with Kozlov ‘till at least Judgment Day, and then branch off possibly against John Cena, as he was the last person that Lashley really had a program with before he left.

WWE Divas Champion Maryse retained her belt against Gail Kim last night and then had a confrontation with the WWE Women’s Champion, Beth Phoenix, we believe this may be the start of a unification match between the two champions, the only problem is there both heels. WWE has toyed with the idea of turning Maryse into someone who gets cheered, but doesn’t care what the fans think, as they feel the fans will choose to boo Phoenix over Maryse. Maryse is being touted as the next face of the Divas division, similar to Lita and Trish Stratus. The Divas Champion has apparently worked hard backstage, said all the right things and has improved in the ring and there has even been talk of Trish returning to pass the torch so to speak, which would probably happen around Summerslam.
WWE MONDAY NIGHT RAW
3HR DRAFT SPECIAL
Featuring both RAW and SmackDown Superstars...


‘Time to shake things up...’

After a chaotic Backlash, the chaotic ways of the WWE are about to continue as the draft rolls into town for this year. We’re in the same building that Backlash was held, where we saw some great moments, and some horrible moments but tonight – new rivalries will form, brands are shaken up and the WWE will never be the same.

Last night, we witnessed the crowning of the new WWE Champion, we saw Randy Orton defeat his long term enemy, Triple H in a No Holds Barred match. But it’s not the fact that we have a new WWE Champion that’s on everyone’s lips, the moment that everyone is talking about is Randy Orton punting Triple H in the skull and then sealing the night with an RKO to his wife, Stephanie McMahon. Tonight’s show, before the festivities of the draft starts, we will hear from the new WWE Champion, as Randy Orton will kick off the show, and we’re sure you won’t want to miss what Orton has to say.

On the subject of World Championships, John Cena retained his as he defeated Edge to win the World Heavyweight Championship and at the end of the match, the two men shook hands out of respect for each other. However, John Cena’s week isn’t finished, tonight we will see him take on the WWE Champion in a huge main event, it’s Champion versus Champion, the two biggest stars in the WWE go head to head and the winner will receive a draft pick for their brand.

But that isn’t the only Champion versus Champion match scheduled for tonight, tonight we will witness the WWE Intercontinental Champion, Rey Mysterio take on the WWE United States Champion, R-Truth. Last night, Rey Mysterio retained his title and was saved from a beating from the World Tag Team Championships, tonight he goes one on one with his SmackDown equivalent and we’re sure it will be a huge one.

But that isn’t all, in matches that will affect the landscape of the WWE, the new WWE Tag Team Champions will take on the World Tag Team Champions. It’s Cryme Tyme taking on The Brian Kendrick & Ezekiel Jackson and we’re sure it will be huge.

Every Superstar is in the building tonight, so expect appearances by quite possibly, any one of them.

Re: Calum Presents: WWE 2009 - The Fear That's In Your Eyes

Well the news from the PPV is very intriguing. A Jericho face turn could be intriguing but I'm not sure it's the right thing to do. I'm glad Triple H is gone for a while and again HBK coming back for a big summer angle sounds very fun. The draft show looks good, looks as though we're getting a Punk vs. Kane rematch which I don't mind. Also with the huge champion vs. champion match with Cena and Orton, can't wait for the show mate!

Re: Calum Presents: WWE 2009 - The Fear That's In Your Eyes

I tied for second? So close. Well anyway, your news is looking good. Interesting stuff about HBK, looks like Morrison won't have him as a mentor, kind of disappointed in that. But the stuff you said about him returning in a big angle is quite good, wonder what that is. Also, the Orton situation about him not having any big faces to challenge is where the draft comes in, I'm predicting a major face to be drafted to RAW. So yeah, congrats on your first pay-per-view on this thread, hope there's more to come. Keep them coming (Y)

Re: Calum Presents: WWE 2009 - The Fear That's In Your Eyes

One of the threads I plan on catch up on over the next week or so.

Really like the look of that preview so I'll definitely be reading the show. I always prefer in depth previews/notes to set up shows because, like in real life, it actually gets interest generated in what's going to happen the show.

Anyway, looking forward to following this thread from here on out. :)

Re: Calum Presents: WWE 2009 - The Fear That's In Your Eyes

Backlash Review​

Interesting choice to kick things off with the tag contest, certainly felt looking at the card this one could steal the show so should be a good one. Was a pretty slow start with Michaels and Miz as well as Michaels and Jericho to be honest, wanted to see a little bit more especially in the Michaels/Jericho exchange but things certainly picked up when JoMo came in. A lot of the tags seemed a little unnecessary so early on, I could understand Miz wanting in on Morrison but other than that, bit too much too early on. Very surprised to see Michaels ‘injured’ here, kind of took away a bit in terms of pace and excitement from the match but it’s certainly an interesting angle to go down and intrigued to see where you go with it.

The heels started to dominate from this point on and it was to be expected. You showed Morrison having real guts and determination though, the continuous kick outs showed that he’s got a real steely side which will help him with the fan reactions, no doubt. Pace began to pick up a lot a little further into it and this is where I started to get more invested in the match. Jericho and Morrison’s little passage was excellent with Jericho attempting the Walls before JoMo showed all his resolve and athleticism, great job there. Ending felt a little flat, especially considering the spell JoMo and Jericho had just had, although I was pleased to see it was Miz who got the pin. Decent opening contest here and interested to see how you go with Michaels injury as well as Miz and Jericho’s paths, expecting a draft there.

Really wasn’t a fan of this Flair/Long exchange. Flair was completely off in everything he said. Just picture Flair saying that and it’s quite difficult to do so. I get the idea of the segment, hyping the draft for tomorrow which is smart but Flair’s character in particular needed work.
LASHLEY!! You bastard trying to fool me. Lashley/Kozlov isn’t a bad way for B-Lash to return and of course, Kozlov gets the competition he desires so smart choice. Standard kind of big man start here with the pushing and shoving antics although I was a little surprised as I expected this to be all about Lashley but Kozlov did actually get to stay in this thing. He had a small spell on top which surprised me but I guess Lashley’s rusty, maybe point that out during it. The belly to belly from Lashley off the top was OUCH, huge impact there, loved it. Always gonna be a Lashley win here and the ending was a little anti climatic but it done the job and you made two powerhouses have a fairly decent outing. Good comeback for Lashley.

The whole death of the Hardyz has been good and I like that Jeff played that up here. Was pretty standard Hardy stuff, never been the greatest on the stick. In my eyes I would have had him a little bit more passionate, make out just how much it means to him tonight. Also was a little bit of a sudden ending to it, would’ve liked a little more. The way it ended had me thinking another paragraph was coming.

One thing I will say, I don’t wanna be too critical but the commentary isn’t the greatest. I can very rarely find myself picturing what Cole, King and J.R are saying in their voices. I’m sure it’ll get better though the longer this thread runs on, it’s a tough one to get a grasp of.

Mysterio/Regal was one that on paper I thought had the potential to steal the show so let’s see how this one turns out. Rey had a really fast start here which I liked as it’s typical Rey fashion, sharp, fast and to the point. Was really surprised to see McIntyre and McGuiness ejected so early on. I anticipated maybe a little bit later on in the match but I wasn’t so sure about it being this early as they were being used very effectively, the little trips and hopping up on the apron were typical heel moves. Did enjoy the way that this kinda swung things Regal’s way however, showed how clever he is, taking advantage of the distraction and the picking apart of Rey was nice, particularly the stomping on the fingers, I legit cringed reading that lol. Regal really looked to be in cruise control but it was vintage Mysterio comeback and it was cleverly worked so kudo s there. Taking advantage of a Regal mistake and then seemingly having the match won only for no referee… I thought oh shit Regal’s gonna turn it round here but glad to see you had Rey counter the brass knucks effort. Very good end to a strong match up. Best of the night thus far.

Aftermath was again very nicely done as it allows this feud to continue as well as Cryme Tyme to keep involved with McIntyre and McGuiness. Strong stuff.

Short and sweet here. Did its job which is the main thing, shows how heated this rivalry has become.
I really liked the combination of Kendrick and Zeke when they were together and Kendrick’s character as ‘TBK’ was gold. Glad to see you giving him some mic time and it was decent stuff rounded off well with the intimidating Zeke. Liked the early exchanges between Lito and Kendrick, nice fast paced stuff. Much like the earlier tag I would’ve liked to see a bit more from these two before the first tag though. Very surprised to see Lito get the upper hand on Zeke and the double teaming was nicely done, glad to see some use of a REAL team there. Things began to pick up midway through and the frequent tags between Jackson and Kendrick were well worked as they began to dominate and that dropkick off the top from Kendrick was brutal. Was a little surprised Lito came back into it so soon after that, he literally came back moments later with a Tornado DDT, I thought that dropkick would’ve taken a lot out of him. Really enjoyed the finish, unique and different which is always good, the apple spit will no doubt bring a ton of heat also, good job. Enjoyable contest and I look forward to seeing where you go with these two top of the tag team tree.

Pretty strong interview with Lashley here which says a lot considering how shit he is on the stick. Kozlov attack didn’t surprise me but I’m not all that keen on this feud continuing, I hope you can make it work.

I thought Punk would be the one to come out the blocks flying here but instead it was Kane who controlled the majority which surprised me but in a good way, made it all the more of an uphill battle for Mr.MITB. Clever way of getting Punk back into the match, simple yet effective with the big man getting caught up in the ropes and from this point on Punk really got the chance to shine. Some real strong offense and the elbow off the top was well executed. Liked the little counters from both men, the GTS and then Chokeslam, added a little bit of drama into it. Ending was different, not too sure why Kane wanted to get himself disqualified as he was looking in complete control so that confused me a touch but showed how clever Punk is, how resilient he is in finding a way to win. Match was a solid affair and it’s a much needed win for Punk.

I won’t judge this aftermath too much as I’ll wait to see where you go with it. For now though? Don’t quite get it and after getting a big win there, to get chokeslammed after and have his hair then cut off doesn’t exactly do Punk any good. Again though, I’ll see where this leads to.
Orton was fairly strong throughout this, probably one of the better promos of the night. Flair again wasn’t quite right but he was much better than his stuff with T-Long earlier. Banning Rhodes and DiBiase was a smart move and it’ll be interesting to see how that pans out later.

This one was probably the one I was most looking forward to, a lot of ways you could have gone so I was very interested to see what route you took. Wasn’t sure why the two men went to lock up from the get go, this is as heated as it gets, expected an all out brawl and I’m glad Jeff went the way of that straight after the lock up. Wow, big spots coming out already with the twisting tornado DDT, huge move so early on but really goes to show just how crazy this one will likely get. Following this it was more what I anticipated, all action, chaos everywhere with these two taking it all around ringside, was very enjoyable stuff. The Twist of Fate onto the steel was just ouuuuuuch. Holy shit this thing really went all out, Twist of Fate off the ladder?!? Good god. I would say, just make that more impactful, like really make it stand out as it just felt like any other move with it in a big bunch of text, maybe give that it’s own line or a few lines really emphasising how huge it was, capital letters, ‘HOLY SHIT, HOLY SHIT’ and whatnot.

Little bit repetitive here, we already had a missed Swanton earlier on, no need for a second one to be honest. FINALLY we get a hit Swanton Bomb and I thought that might just do it but Matt with a HUGE kick out, shows just how much fight he has in him, really showing the depths he’s going to in order to knock his brother off again. WOW, Swanton off the ladder through TWO tables, jesus Christ. Unbelievable, really making Jeff out to be the daredevil he is, such a high risk, awesome spot and Matt still managing to have the wherewithal to get out the way, griping stuff. Hell of a way to end it, made Matt look like a real no nonsense, remorseless SOB and that’s what he needs to be if he’s gonna step up so kudos there. I honestly thought it was over after the missed Swanton but that last bit really helped put Matt up another notch. Just a crazy, high risk, bundle of fun match up here. Some incredible spots, certainly no technical masterpiece but that was never on the cards. Match of the night for me so far by a long shot.

To be honest I wasn’t really into this next contest, purely because it came after TLC. Felt like a bit of a breather even as a reader which is what they go for in real life I guess. Good win for Maryse, definitely the right call and you showed off her arrogance nicely throughout as well as some solid in ring action. Bit surprised this went for so long I must admit, expected it to be a short 5 minute one but I won’t complain it went longer.

Awesome video package for Edge- Cena, loved it. Start of the match was different with the stand off and slapping. That was a good thing for me, gave it a different vibe to all the other matches on the card so far. Some very nice back and forth exchanges with Edge and Cena sharing the spoils, it was good reading as you kept it really up in the air, neither man particularly dominated for large spells. One little error in there is that you put ‘Cena rolls onto his stomach and crawls on top of Punk’ lol. Whether you’d been watching Cena/Punk beforehand I don’t know but just a slight thing to double check next time. Enjoyed some more back and forth with the old ‘YAY, BOO’ stuff, that’s always good as it gets you into the match a bit more and at this point it was trademark Cena and I thought he had the job done with but a kick out from Edge of the AA was wow, didn’t see that coming at all. There have been a lot of kick outs to finishers here tonight, I can’t really comment as I do it too, think it’s something that gets to everybody come PPVs. Edge doing likewise moments later, although exciting stuff, not sure if he’d have it in him having just come off an AA.

Holy shit, a kick out from a mid air spear?!? Now at this point I knew there wasn’t a title change incoming. Incredible stuff and a spot I love to see. THEN we go one further and ANOTHER AA kick out, really thrilling stuff, back and forth before Cena FINALLY puts Edge away with a huge move off the second rope, that really put emphasis on just what it was gonna take to put one of these two men away tonight. Very enjoyable match, the back and forth nature really did it for me, this was the ‘final battle’ and they certainly showed it. Good job.

Aftermath was kind of unexpected but at the same time I wasn’t surprised if that makes sense? Edge has shown face tendencies of late and if this is his official face turn then it’s not a bad time or way to do it. The draft being tomorrow night I wouldn’t mind if he ended up on Raw with a fresh start as a face although a feud with Vickie and Show does look likely which would be interesting if not my favourable option.

Solid stuff from Maryse and Beth here. A unification would be the smart thing to do, hope that’s where you go.

Again, very nicely done video package here that hyped up well this bitter rivalry. Wow, this got really brutal, really quickly, guess that was to be expected. I mean, it was very gripping stuff as a reader but maybe it was a little TOO overboard. Within the first few minutes there was chairs, kendo sticks, steel steps, the titantron, I couldn’t keep up. Maybe you could’ve built more into it at first. The sledgehammer coming out eventually was to be expected and at this point I thought Hunter was gonna have a real spell of dominance but infact this only seemed to raise Orton’s game, that shot to the stitches would’ve been devastating. Tables quickly turned again though and after that pedigree I honestly thought Trips had it won, thrilled Orton held out though. Vicious and correct way to end it with the Punt. It was a really brutal, violent match and Orton’s most brutal and violent move closing it out was the right call. Orton should’ve been champ at Mania and you rectified that mistake with a war of a main event, if a little too much to take in. I would’ve also said maybe hype up the little passage before the Punt, make it seem like ‘Oh shit, Orton’s got the Punt in mind, he’s lining it up etc etc’. Aftermath was just all the more ruthlessness from Orton. Maybe a tad overkill and the title change was enough but this just shows what a badass you have on your hands now.


All in all a very enjoyable read. Think that the TLC and World Title matches were the highlights and the main event was simply a war. I would say that maybe try not to overdo the main events so much next time until it’s one of the big four as they ALL had kick outs and finishers galore. Again, I do the same and it’s something I’ll try and fix too, just a bit more variety. Promos were the main thing I’d say need work, a fair few of the characters need fine tuning but I’m sure the more you write the better they’ll become. A lot of positives though in this(even if I sound critical) and I really look forward to the next PPV as well as the Draft, really put your own spin on this thing. Good job mate(Y)

Re: Calum Presents: WWE 2009 - The Fear That's In Your Eyes

Apologies for any coding errors, anyway onto the show...

WWE Monday Night RAW
Special Three Hour SuperShow

4th May 2009
Boston, Massachusetts
TD Banknorth Arena

‘Time to shake things up...’​

***​

No opening video, no highlight package of last night, instead we fade in right into the main arena, where the crowd are waiting in anticipation.

Lillian Garcia: Ladies and gentleman... the NEW WWE Champion... The Viper... Randy Orton!

‘I HEAR VOICES IN MY HEAD...’

*VOICES...*

The arena erupts with a massive amount of heat, as The Viper, the NEW WWE Champion, Randy Orton walks out into the same arena where he punted Triple H. Orton walks down the ramp, the WWE Champion across his shoulder, wearing a ‘Legacy’ shirt and looking very focused.

Michael Cole: Welcome ladies and gentleman to the TD Banknorth Arena, the scene of the crime where Randy Orton, the new WWE Champion punted Triple H in the skull. Tonight ladies and gentleman, it’s the WWE Draft, but right now, before the Draft begins formally, we’re going to hear from The Viper, Randy Orton.

King: I can’t wait to hear what he is going to say, after what he done last night I can’t imagine he’ll be short of words. And returning to the Draft, Michael, I can’t wait to see who RAW will draft, and just like last night, we are joined by SmackDown commentator, my good friend, good ol’ J.R.

Jim Ross: Thank you, King, like you – I’m looking forward to seeing who SmackDown will pick up tonight. But right now the focus is on Randy Orton, and rightfully so, he is in action later tonight against John Cena, but right now everybody wants to hear what he says about his actions last night.

Michael Cole: Last night ladies and gentleman, we witnessed a helacious contest, between Randy Orton and Triple H, by the end of the night, Randy Orton was the new WWE Champion after he punted Triple H in the skull.

King: I don’t think we’ll be seeing Triple H around for a long time after that.

Jim Ross: And don’t forget, Orton showed just how dangerous he can be, when he hit Triple H’s wife, Stephanie McMahon with an RKO.

Orton stops at the ring, and looks at the part where he punted Triple H and connected with RKO to Stephanie. He turns to walk to the steel steps, The Viper takes them one by one and then steps into the ring. He walks over to the turnbuckle and stands on the second rope, he simply stands, no arms raised or title raised, he just surveys the arena before dropping down and being handed a microphone. He walks to the centre of the ring, and measures his words before speaking.

Randy Orton: Four years... four years I’m been waiting.

Orton pauses for effect...

Randy Orton: Four years ago... Triple H started the beginning of the end for him. When Triple H kicked me out of Evolution, that was the moment, the moment that the beginning of the end of his career started.

Heat...

Randy Orton: Four years ago... I made a vow... that vow consisted of me ending Triple H’s career.

Another batch of heat, but Orton continues...

Randy Orton: I did that last night... last night I... ENDED Triple H’s career.

Pause...

Randy Orton: And in doing so... I became the WWE Champion.

A lot of boo’s...

Randy Orton: Triple H’s career is dead... I PUNTED him in the skull... I’ve ended Triple H’s career. Triple H will be very, very lucky to even make it back to the WWE... and if he does, he won’t be the same. If he does come back, I’ll be waiting, waiting to destroy him once more.

Heat...

Randy Orton: When I won the Royal Rumble, I had it in my mind to challenge the World Heavyweight Champion, and defeat him at WrestleMania, but then Triple H won the WWE Championship at the Elimination Chamber, I saw my moment.

Pause...

Randy Orton: I saw the moment I have been waiting for... for four years. Not only could I get my revenge on Triple H, I could take away the one of two things that he loves.

Another pause from Orton...

Randy Orton: And the other thing... his family. I targeted his family, I attacked his family to get to him, and he bought it. Attacking his family put me on his radar, which is exactly what I wanted. Triple H came to me, he bought it... he took the bait.

Heat...

Randy Orton: I’ll give him credit... he defeated me at WrestleMania... but not only did I defeat him at Backlash... I destroyed him at Backlash.

Another batch of heat...

Randy Orton: I defeated him, I destroyed him... and I won the WWE Championship in the process.

Orton raises the belt over his head, before returning it to his shoulder...

Randy Orton: This championship means I’m the best, I’m a three time WWE Champion. I’ve ended many Legends career, and now I’ve ended Triple H’s career.

Suddenly...

*NO CHANCE IN HELL...*​

Orton turns to face the stage, looking extremely pissed off while the fans react with a massive pop, as the Chairman of the WWE, Vince McMahon, walks out from the back, wearing a nice grey suit. The boss doesn’t look happy at all, he stares at Orton from the top of the ramp, he begins to walk, no sign off the classic walk that we’ve came to know from Vince.

Michael Cole: Oh my! I didn’t expect Mr. McMahon to be here tonight, he wasn’t scheduled to appear tonight was he?

King: I don’t think so, Michael, but it makes sense, he’ll have wanted to be here for the draft.

Jim Ross: And don’t forget, he is emotionally invested in what happened last night, I think Mr. McMahon will have a lot to say to Randy Orton.

McMahon takes the steps one by one, picking up a microphone from the top of them before stepping into the ring and staring at Orton.

Randy Orton: What-

Mr. McMahon: SHADDDDUUUUPPPP!

Huge pop for the boss putting Orton in his place...

Mr. McMahon: Who the hell do you think you are?!

Randy Orton: I’m the WWE Champion... the man who destroyed Triple H... and the man who... destroyed... your... family.

Huge heat for that...

Mr. McMahon: You are the WWE Champion... but not for long... not if I have anything to do with it.

McMahon pauses...

Mr. McMahon: I’M VINCENT KENNEDY MCMAHON DAMN IT!

Pop...

Mr. McMahon: I made that belt... I made this ring... I made all of this... and I made you.

Pause...

Randy Orton: You didn’t make me... I was born into this business... I’m a third generation-

Mr. McMahon: I don’t give a DAMN... if you are a third generation Superstar. If it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t even be in the WWE, I signed you in two thousand and two.

Pause...

Mr. McMahon: But if I knew how you would turn out, I would never have looked twice at you. What must people think, your father, Cowboy Bob Orton, what must he think of his son. What you’ve become. You used to say how when you were a child, your father would have great men like Andre The Giant and Hulk Hogan at your house.

Pop for Andre and Hulkster...

Mr. McMahon: Andre must be turning in his grave, god rest his soul. And Hogan must be sick to his stomach, the little boy that he held has turned out like this.

McMahon pauses...

Mr. McMahon: You are a sick bastard, Orton, you attack my family, out of nothing but spite.

Randy Orton: This is all of Triple H’s fault, the things I’ve done to you and your family... you need to look closer to home... and realize that Triple H caused this.

Mr. McMahon: No, you caused this Orton. You caused this when you became jealous of Triple H, you became jealous of the fact that he is one of the greatest WWE Superstars ever.

Huge pop...

Randy Orton: Jealous?! You think I’m jealous? No, Triple H is the jealous one, he was the one who kicked me out of Evolution, out of nothing but jealously... nothing but spite.

Heat...

Randy Orton: Last night I got my revenge, when I PUNTED Triple H in the skull and sealed the night by RKO’ing... your... precious... little... daughter.

Vince starts to get extremely mad at this point...

Randy Orton: I’ve decimated the McMahon family... and Vince I can see your getting mad. But let me tell you something, when your... when your grandchildren grow up... keep them away from the WWE... otherwise they might go the same way as your Son and Daughter.

Mr. McMahon: YOU SON OF A BITCH! WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE! You attack me, you attack my son, my daughter and now you have the audacity to threaten my grandchildren?! You’re a disgrace, a disgrace to your family and a disgrace to that damn title.

Orton looks at the title while Vince is red with anger...

Mr. McMahon: I was going to come out here and fire you... but that would be too easy. I’m going to make your life hell... I want you to feel pain, Orton... I’m going to take that title away from you and make sure you go through the amount of pain you’ve put my family through.

Orton goes to speak but Vince doesn’t allow him...

Mr. McMahon: Tonight, you go one on one with the World Heavyweight Champion, a man who actually has integrity, John Cena.

Huge pop from the hometown crowd for Cena tonight...

Mr. McMahon: And by the end of the night, Orton... you’ll know the man who I’ve picked to end your title reign, and inflict the same amount of pain on you that you’ve done to me and my family.

Orton is getting visibly pissed...

Mr. McMahon: I will take the title away from you... I will inflict pain on you... I will MAKE YOUR LIFE HELL GOD DAM-

SUDDENLY ORTON SLAPS THE TASTE OUT OF MCMAHON’S MOUTH!

McMahon stumbles back, when Orton knees him in the gut! And clubs him on the back, and starts to stomp on the back of McMahon. The crowd boo extremely loudly, giving Orton abuse but he is ignoring them, he froths at the mouth, breathing heavily as he backs away from McMahon. He then dives to the mat, and starts to pound the mat.

Michael Cole: Oh no! Someone stop this!

King: Wait... we seen this last night... oh my god... someone stop this!

Orton suddenly stops pounding, and gets a glazed look in his eyes, he gets to his feet and backs off into the corner.

Jim Ross: We’ve seen this before! This happened last night! Someone get Orton away from him!

McMahon climbs to his knees, and rises up to all fours... BUT THEN ORTON SPRINTS FORWARD... AND PUNTS MCMAHON IN THE SKULL! Sickening actions from Orton, the fans are in shock as McMahon lies on the canvas, knocked out. The Viper stand up quickly, and picks up his WWE Championship.

Jim Ross: What has Randy Orton done?!

Michael Cole: In the space of two days, he has punted Triple H, RKO’d Stephanie and now he has kicked Mr. McMahon in the head!

King: I feel sick, Randy Orton is a sick and twisted man.

Orton stands above McMahon as we fade to a commercial.

{Commercials}​

Monday Night RAW returns and we’re at the announce table.

Michael Cole: Welcome back to the two thousand and nine edition of the WWE Draft, this is a special show where Superstars from both brands will be highlighted tonight.

Jim Ross: RAW’s best and brightest will tangle with SmackDown’s greatest in an attempt to win draft picks for their show.

King: It makes for some great match ups, we already know that John Cena will face Randy Orton and the winner gets a draft pick, but let’s back up a second and talk about what just happened.

Michael Cole: We certainly have to, Randy Orton, the new WWE Champion just attacked and punted Mr. McMahon in the head, a sickening sight but it’s one we’ve came to expect.

Jim Ross: Ladies and gentleman, we have some footage of what happened during the commercial break.

During The Commercials

Randy Orton has left the scene of his crime as the medical staff arrive, they slide into the ring and look into McMahon’s eyes, he’s most certainly knocked out, so they carefully move him onto a stretcher. The RAW General Manager arrives on the scene, he joins the staff as they wheel the Chairman up the ramp, he disappears backstage with the stretcher, and a few seconds pass before we cut backstage ourselves.

Ric is walking the stretcher through the backstage area, we eventually arrive at the parking bay, where Mr. McMahon is wheeled into an ambulance. The ambulance drives off, leaving Flair looking on, but then he turns around and sees Josh Matthews. He prepares himself for the barrage of questions.

Josh Matthews: Um, a moment of your time please? As RAW General Manager... what course of action will you be taking against Randy Orton for his actions, if any?

Flair wipes his forehead...

Ric Flair: Believe me, Randy Orton has overstepped his boundaries, he actually done it last night... but what he done tonight compounded everything he did last night.

Pause...

Ric Flair: Orton will feel the consequences, damn it! I run this show, not Orton, I RUN THIS SHOW!

Pause...

Ric Flair: Randy Orton made a hell of a mistake, he will feel consequences, that punt of his is a dangerous move, and I, in the interest of myself and RAW Superstars, he and that punt... need to be dealt with.

Josh Matthews: Thank you, Mr. Flair.

Ric looks Matthews up and down before locking his suit jacket together and leaving the scene.

End of Video

We return to the main show...

Michael Cole: As you just witnessed, Ric Flair has got plans in mind as punishment for Randy Orton.

King: It will be very interesting to see what Flair has in store for Orton.

Silence for a moment...

‘I SPIT IN ‘DA FACE OF PEOPLE WHO DON’T WANT TO BE COOL...’

*COOL...*​

The fans respond with a nice pop for the arrival of the former WWE Tag Team Champions, Carlito and Primo, The Colons. The duo look naked without their championships but they soldier on, walking down the ramp, both wearing light blue tights and orange boots.

Jim Ross: Last night ladies and gentleman, we witnessed a robbery. Carlito and Primo looked poised to retain their WWE Tag Team Championships, but thanks to a spit in the face and a title shot to the skull, Ezekiel Jackson and The Brian Kendrick are the new WWE Tag Team Champions.

Michael Cole: It was a fantastic match, with a shocking ending, an ending which soured the match.

King: Kind of set the tone for the rest of the evening didn’t it? We saw terrible endings to the TLC match, and the WWE Championship match, even the actual PPV ended in an awful scene.

Primo and Carlito roll into the ring and prepare for their opponents.

‘AWESOME...’

‘BREAK THE WALLS DOWN...’

*I CAME TO PLAY/BREAK THE WALLS DOWN REMIX...*​

After last night, the two men walk out as smug as you can get, while the crowd boo them very loudly. The Miz with his new slicked back look, and Jericho wearing his usual black and blue trunks, the cocky duo walk down the ramp, looking focused on the two men in the ring.

Michael Cole: This team also competed at Backlash last night, but unlike their opponents, they managed to pick up the victory over the team of John Morrison and Shawn Michaels.

King: But only after Shawn Michaels suffered an injury to his foot, luckily for him he shouldn’t be gone for more than a month, I just hope The Miz is ready for when he does return, he was the one that injured Michaels.

Jim Ross: Not intentionally though, King, unlike Randy Orton he didn’t set out to injure his opponent.

The Miz and Jericho climb into the ring, both men stand in the centre surveying the crowd before retreating into their corner.

Tag Team Match; Draft Pick On The Line
The Colons vs. Chris Jericho & The Miz


We join this match a good distance into it, where Chris Jericho has just Irish-whipped Primo into the corner where The Miz is waiting. Jericho walks over to Primo, nails him with a right hand before tagging in The Miz. Jericho stays in the ring however, and holds Primo in place, extending his arm into the air, leaving his side unguarded as Miz lashes out with a kick! The Miz pulls Primo out of the corner, pushes him against the ropes and sends him sprinting, Primo rebounds off the ropes but manages to duck a clothesline from The Miz, he rebounds again... and goes for a cross body... but The Miz ducks out the way... he quickly covers him... 1... 2... NO!

The Miz quickly climbs to his feet, picking Primo up at the same time, before Irish-whipping him into the corner. Miz tags in Jericho and the duo grab Primo and plant him with a double suplex! Jericho sinks into the cover... 1... 2... NO! Jericho doesn’t go right back for Primo, instead he cockily walks around the ring, gloating, getting some pretty big boos and they get louder when he suddenly knocks Carlito off the apron with an elbow! Carlito luckily lands on his feet, he then tries to enter the ring and get some payback but that just plays into his opponents hands as Jericho chokes Primo in the corner! Once the referee deals with Carlito, he turns to face the action where Jericho stops choking Primo and tags in The Miz.

The Miz doesn’t go straight for Primo, instead h takes a leaf out of his opponents book and taunts Carlito before turning around... right into a bunch of kicks from Primo! The taunting cost The Miz as Primo backs him into the corner and then Irish-whips but The Miz reverses... and Primo goes tumbling off over the ropes, as Jericho held them down! The Miz distracts the referee as Jericho leaves the apron and launches Primo into the barricade! Carlito tries to get the ref’s attention but it’s no use, Jericho rolls Primo into the ring where The Miz goes for the cover... 1 ... 2... KICK OUT!

The Miz reaches over and tags Jericho in, who walks around the ring before going for a Lionsault... but Primo rolls out the way! Primo uses the ropes to get up, and then springboards off them... but Jericho catches him by the legs and locks in the WALLS OF JERICHO! But Primo bends his body and rolls forward, rolling Jericho up for the cover... 1... 2... NO! Both men get up at the same time, where Primo goes to kick Jericho but Chris catches his foot... but Primo connects with an enzigueri! Both men are spark out on the mat but Primo shows some life first with Jericho not far behind, they both get tags to their partners in due time!

Carlito and The Miz meet in the centre, but ‘Lito tags The Miz with a huge clothesline... and then another... and then another! Miz gets up agai, only to be dropped by a drop kick. Carlito then gets some payback and knocks Jericho off the apron! Carlito gets fired up and climbs the turnbuckle... and goes for a missile drop kick! He gets up quickly, and measures The Miz, he springboards off the ropes... but Jericho reaches up and whacks him as he does so. Carlito manages to stay on his feet, while Primo runs around the ring, using the steps to jump off and take down Jericho! In the ring, Carlito backs into Miz who goes for SKULL CRUSHING FINALE... NO! Carlito drops down and flips Miz over his head... and goes for a BACKSTABBER... but The Miz holds onto the ropes! Carlito quickly gets up but is then planted with the SKULL CRUSHING FINALE! Cover... 1... 2... 3!



Winners: Chris Jericho & The Miz @ 11.32
RAW Gets The First Pick Of The Draft


The referee calls for the bell as The Miz rolls off his opponent, Primo quickly slides into the ring and The Miz swiftly takes his leave. Jericho picks himself up, and starts to walk around the ring, to join his tag team partner.

Michael Cole: Well, after a fantastic match – RAW has the first draft pick of the night. Jealous, J.R?

Jim Ross: A little Michael, but let’s see who you get first before you start bragging.

King: Yeah, well I’m sure it will be someone great.

Michael Cole: We’ll find that out in just a moment, but let’s talk about the match for a second, The Miz and Jericho continue their winning ways, they managed to deal with John Morrison and the injured Shawn Michaels last night and now they’ve defeated the former WWE Tag Team Champions.

King: They are certainly on a roll, but that doesn’t mean I like them, The Miz still talks too much for my liking.

The Miz and Jericho continue backing up the ramp, while Carlito climbs to his feet.

Michael Cole: Let’s find out who RAW gets first in this years draft!

***​

Draft Pick #1 – RAW

We cut away onto the tron, where a wheel appears with a number of Superstars and Divas faces on it, it goes around and around before we cut away into blankness and then the first draft pick of the evening is revealed...
...
...

CARLITO & PRIMO (THE COLONS)
DRAFTED TO MONDAY NIGHT RAW!​

***​

A huge cheer rises from the crowd in the arena as we cut back to the ring, Carlito and Primo look pretty happy with the outcome, they stare up at The Miz and Jericho, pointing at them, telling them that The Colons are now on RAW.

Michael Cole: What is this? Two?

King: I think they come as one Michael, but who cares, RAW just drafted the former WWE Tag Team Champions, Carlito and Primo!

Jim Ross: I’m not going to lie, guys, I’m disappointed that The Colons will be leaving SmackDown, but I wish them luck here on RAW, and you guys have just been given a shot of energy right into your tag division.

Michael Cole: What about the SmackDown division, how will that cope without The Colons?

Jim Ross: Well, SmackDown do have new tag team champions and The Hart Dynasty are to debut any week now, so we should be fine Michael.

Primo and Carlito leave the ring and slap a few hands before we cut to a commercial.

{Commercials}

Monday Night RAW returns and we are backstage in the parking lot, no movement can be seen until from the entrance way, the lot starts to light up as a car dives in and parks in one of the parking spots. A few seconds pass before John Cena exits the car to a huge cheer from his hometown crowd, before walking into the arena, he reaches back in and picks up the World Heavyweight Championship. We starts to walk, the camera backing away in time with his walk, as we cut to away...

And we’re back in the RAW General Manager’s office, where Ric Flair is sat waiting on his couch for some reason, no girls here tonight, it’s all business. A few seconds pass before we hear a door opening, Ric stands up swiftly and then Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase walk into the shot, standing in front of Ric.

Ric Flair: What the hell is this? I asked for Randy Orton, not his lackeys.

Cody Rhodes: Listen, Flair, Randy has a match to prepare for, he faces the World Heavyweight Champion later t’night, he doesn’t need a distraction like this.

Ric Flair: Alright, I guess I’ll tell you, you and Ted tell Orton this – as a result of his actions last night and tonight, next week – he will be in a match. Not just any match, he will be... he will be... will be in a STREET FIGHT!

Huge pop...

Ted DiBiase: What?! Who against?

Ric Flair: Orton may think he has ended the McMahon family, but he forgot about one member, he will face the man who’s house he invaded last week... Shane MCMAHON!

Another huge pop...

Cody Rhodes: Really? Ric, seriously? Shane McMahon is in no condition to compete after what we, Legacy did to him last week.

Ric Flair: That’s where your wrong, Shane McMahon has personally asked for his match, and I granted it.

Ted DiBiase: Tell Shane McMahon... he’s made a mistake, because next week Randy will defeat him and then PUNT him in the skull.

This gets a lot of heat but DiBiase and Rhodes don’t care, they turn around and leave Flair’s office, leaving him to sit back down on the couch and rub his forehead as we cut away...

Into the main arena where...

*STRONG AND SEXY...*​

The fans respond with a lukewarm reception as Gail Kim hops out onto the stage, she poses for the fans before walking down the ramp.

Jim Ross: Last night, Gail Kim had the opportunity to become the WWE Divas Champion, but Maryse picked up the victory, retaining the belt.

Michael Cole: She’ll be hoping to win this match and get some momentum back, but she faces a tough test in Beth Phoenix, who actually had an altercation with Maryse over how she wasn’t on the Pay-per-view but Maryse was.

King: So Beth will be looking to make a statement tonight, she faces the women that Maryse beat so we’ll see if she’ll try to one up the Divas Champion.

Kim slides into the ring, poses for the fans again before waiting for her opponent.

*GLAMAZON...*​

Gail’s opponent now makes her way onto the stage, the WWE Women’s Championship, Beth Phoenix receives a good amount of heat before beginning to walk down the ramp.

Michael Cole: Beth Phoenix and the current WWE Divas Champion, Maryse, had a confrontation last night about the differences between the WWE Women’s Championship and the Divas Championship.

King: That they did, I’m a big fan of Maryse, I mean just look at her but I have to side with Beth at this point, the WWE Divas Championship does not compare to the WWE Women’s Title.

Jim Ross: I do have to agree, but for the sole reason that the Women’s Championship has been around for decades, the Divas championship has only been around for a few months, it will be a long time until it is at the level of the Women’s Title, but with Divas like Maryse holding it, it might be sooner than we think.

Phoenix climbs onto the apron, straddles the top turnbuckle before flipping backwards, landing on her feet and waiting in the corner.

Singles Match; Two Draft Picks On The Line
Beth Phoenix vs. Gail Kim


We’re almost at the end of this match, and after a back and forth, hard thought bout we join it where Gail is sat on the top turnbuckle with Beth climbing up to join her. Beth grabs Gail’s arm and puts it over her neck and goes for a super plex! But Gail hooks her leg under the metal pole of the turnbuckle, and manages to break Beth’s grip and knock her off the turnbuckle! Beth gets up quickly, only to see Gail soaring through the air... and connecting with a cross body... but Beth rolls through and covers Gail... 1... 2... KICK OUT!

Both Beth and Gail climb to their feet but Beth takes the initiative and backs Gail into the ropes, before whipping her and on her returns and connects a power slam before going for another cover... 1... 2... NO! Beth doesn’t waste any time as the WWE Women’s Champion grabs Gail and locks in an arm bar! Gail is in this hold for a while, and is asked a lot if she wants to quit but she shows her fighting spirit and says no! Gail eventually manages to fight out of it, getting to her feet and hitting some elbows and then Gail hits a number of clotheslines, getting fired up. Eventually, she connects with a drop kick and then she measures Beth before going for the EAT DEFEAT... only to be countered into the GLAM SLAM... cover... 1... 2...3!


Winner: Beth Phoenix @ 7.31
RAW Gets The Second & Third Draft Pick


Phoenix rolls off her opponent and has her hand lifted in the air by the referee, she is then handed her title before resting in the corner.

Michael Cole: Just like Maryse did last night, Beth Phoenix has defeated Gail Kim here tonight.

Jim Ross: Gail Kim is no slouch, this is a big victory for Beth, she has had it tough lately after disappointing against Mickie James and Melina.

King: You know what the best thing is?

Jim Ross: What?

King: RAW gets TWO draft picks! That takes our picks up to a grand total of three for the night!

Michael Cole: Well, let’s find out who we get first.

Right on cue, as Beth watches from the ring, the second pick of the night is revealed...

***

Draft Pick #2 – RAW
Again, like before, we cut away to a video where the wheel spins around, before it stops spinning and then spins away from view, before the second pick is revealed...
...
...

WWE DIVAS CHAMPION
MARYSE
DRAFTED TO MONDAY NIGHT RAW!

***
We cut swiftly back into the arena where...

*POURQUOI...*​

The fans respond with a bit of heat, while some of the male fans cheer the arrival of one of the best looking Divas ever on RAW. The WWE Divas Champion eventually walks out, wearing a Red and white attire for the occasion, Maryse stares down at the ring where Phoenix looks up, looking pissed off but Maryse looks very calm and confident.

King: Woohoo! Look at this! Not only do we get the Divas Champion, look who it is, we get Maryse, Michael... can you believe it?

Michael Cole: What does this mean? RAW now has two championships that can be contested between the Divas.

Jim Ross: So far, it has not been a good night for RAW, we’ve lost a team which was a former WWE Tag Team Champion and now the current WWE Divas Champion. I can’t believe it, what is happening, we need to win some of these matches, and soon.

Michael Cole: Well, your loss is RAW’s gain, we’ve gained two great Superstars and a top Diva, it will certainly be interesting to see how this plays out.

King: I can’t wait to see more of Maryse!

Jim Ross: Steady, King.

Michael Cole: Anyway, the match that just transpired meant we get two draft picks, we’ve had one, and the second one, will be revealed after this commercial break, join us in a few minutes.

In the ring, Beth Phoenix holds up her WWE Women’s Championship, and Maryse does the same, holding hers up, she then winks at Beth before blowing a kiss and walking backstage.

{Commercials}​

And we’re back...

Michael Cole: Welcome back ladies and gentleman, we’re not going to waste any time, let’s find out RAW’s third draft pick of the evening!

WWE Draft Pick #3 – RAW

Again, the familiar wheel spins, highlighting the possible choices that could be drafted, after a few seconds we cut away and RAW drafts...
...
...

MR. KENNEDY
DRAFTED TO MONDAY NIGHT RAW!


***​

‘KENNEDYYYYY...’

*TURN UP THE TROUBLE...*​

The fans respond with a huge pop as Mr. Kennedy walks out onto the stage, wearing a pair of jeans and a blue chequered shirt, he stands on the stage for a few moments before a microphone descends from the rafters.

Mr. Kennedy: ... TONIGHT... marks the return from injury... tonight marks the official return to Monday Night RAW... the return of MISSSTTTEEERRRRRR KENNEDYYYYYYYY!

Huge pop from the crowd, but Kennedy isn’t done he waits a few seconds before...

Mr. Kennedy: ... KENNEDYYYYYYY!

Again, the fans respond with a good pop as Kennedy’s music plays and he walks backwards, disappearing behind the curtain.

Michael Cole: Mr. Kennedy has returned from injury here tonight! And he returns on Monday Night RAW!

Jim Ross: I can’t believe this, SmackDown has lost four of its top Superstars and Diva, this night can’t get much worse, we need to win the next match.

King: You sound like you’re going to cry, J.R, ha! It’s been a great night for RAW so far, and there is plenty more draft picks to be contested.

The commentators stop talking as we head to a video package...

***

We open up and the first thing we see is a church, it’s night time and we can hear Owl’s hooting, it’s a very creepy atmosphere as we can see candle light shining through some of the windows...

We fade away again, and hear the screams of men and women, we don’t see anything just the darkness...

The video comes back and this time we are in the church, it’s very grim, some of the pews are turned over, candles are lit near the focal point of the church, where coffin lies...

Again, we fade away, but then we come right back and are in a small booth where we see Matt Hardy...

Matt Hardy:
Forgive me father for I have sinned...

Again, we fade away, getting a glimpse of the priest on the other side of the booth...

The video comes back around, the same booth but this time it’s Kane that’s there...

Kane:
Forgive me father for I have sinned...

Fade away for another time...

Fade back and we are back in the small booth this time its Randy Orton...

Randy Orton:
Forgive me father for I have sinned...

We’re now in a dark room, faintly lit by candles again, there is a desk where a man with a shroud sits who we assume is the priest...

We close in on the man, before taking a view of what he is looking at it, it’s photos of Randy Orton, Matt Hardy and Kane...

Priest:
You may have sinned... but He does not forgive...

We cut away again, and we’re in the main room of the church where we begin the video and we’re focused on the coffin...

We close in, and smoke fills the room as the coffin rises and a hand reaches up...

We then see a man sit up and it’s The Undertaker, he slowly faces the camera...

The Undertaker:
Judgment Day... is... coming...


***



***​

We return to RAW, and we’re backstage where the WWE Divas Champion, a new addition to RAW is walking backstage, the title slung over her shoulder. She stops in her place, looking rather smug before walking to the side and we see Mickie James and Melina talking to each other. They both turn to face Maryse.

Melina: Uh... can we help you with somethin’?

Maryse: So rude. Don’t z’you know it is customary to welcome someone new? I’m the newest Diva on the RAW roster.

Mickie James: What do you want, a medal?

Maryse: That’s cute. I’m just here to tell z’you both, 'zat I’m the WWE Divas Champion, and this means I’m the best on this brand.

Mickie and Melina glance at each other...

Mickie James: Is that right, the best on this brand? Well why don’t you prove it, face me, one on one for that Divas Championship.

Mickie nods at the title, while Maryse simply smirks...

Maryse: Z’you know what? Mon premier match à RAW, ce sera un match de championnat, je vais vous faire face et je vais vous battre.

Mickie and Melina glance at each other once more...

Mickie James: Speak English.

Maryse scoffs...

Maryse: I will face you next week, Mickie James, it will be a championship match and I will beat you, one two three, in 'zat ring.

Mickie James: We’ll see about that.

Mickie and Melina turn and leave Maryse standing, looking pleased with herself, she brushes her belt before turning around... right into the WWE Women’s Champion, Beth Phoenix!

Beth Phoenix: Word of warning... watch your place here on RAW, you may have been top on SmackDown, but here you’re nothing compared to me.

Maryse smirks.

Maryse: When I was drafted, all of 'zat changed, y’see this belt means I’m the top Diva on RAW. I’m the best looking Diva in the history of the WWE, I’m the Diva that those people pay to see.

This actually gets some cheers from some of the men in the arena.

Maryse: Y’see, the women in the audience they dream of being me, while the men – they dream of being with me. Now until you do something impressive on pay-per-view like I did last night, or get some surgery to replace that face of yours, don’t talk to me. Ciao.

‘Ooohhh’, Beth’s face takes a turn for the worse as she looks extremely pissed off and angry. Maryse brushes past her, walking away as she watches her go, we then cut to the main arena.

Michael Cole: Well, with two champions on the brand, we were certain to get some kind of confrontation here tonight.

King: But what about what’s going to happen next week? Mickie James will face Maryse for the WWE Divas Championship, add that to the Street Fight announced, it’s going to be a huge match!

Jim Ross: I can’t wait to see those matches, but let’s take a look at what happened last night between CM Punk and The Big Red Monster, Kane!

***

WWE BACKLASH
HIGHLIGHT

The crowd are on their feet, cheering on Mister Money in the Bank, CM Punk who kneels on the mat, and gets his briefcase handed to him. Punk glances at Kane, who is still knocked out, and glances around the arena, nodding at the level of support he has. Punk walks over to the turnbuckle, and climbs to the second rope, raising the briefcase over his head.

Michael Cole:
Something, something inside Kane, when he saw the briefcase that Punk is holding right now, something snapped. He saw the dent and went absolutely crazy, I was actually afraid he would start attacking everyone in sight.

King:
We’ve always known that Kane is a bit mentally unstable, but this was new, it was like the dent reminded him of when Punk bested him.

Jim Ross:
Punk’s bested him tonight as well, so I don’t think this loss will sit well with Kane... HEY... HEY!

Kane is back on his feet, standing waiting for Punk to come down from the turnbuckle, and when he does... GRABS HIM BY THE THROAT... STARES DOWN THE EYES OF HIS RIVAL... AND THEN PLANTS HIM WITH A CHOKESLAM!

Michael Cole:
I can’t believe it! Kane lost this match, he shouldn’t be doing this!

The crowd boo the shit out of Kane, who stares down at Punk, and then suddenly starts laughing manically. He goes to leave, but then his face turns so no emotion is shown, we then see him talking to himself.

King:
What’s going on?

Jim Ross:
It seems... it seems that Kane is talking to himself... or talking to something.

Kane stops and backs away from the rings, he glances at Punk before rolling out of the ring and looking under the apron. The Big Red Monster then PULLS OUT A PAIR OF SCISSORS! The commentators question what Kane’s doing, who slides back into the ring, he kneels down beside Punk, and hoists him into a sitting position! Punk is still knocked out, and can’t do anything about this, as Kane GRABS A CHUNK OF PUNK’S HAIR... AND CUTS THE WHOLE CHUNK OFF!

Jim Ross:
Bah gawd! Someone needs to stop this, King... GET IN THERE.

King:
You must be joking, no way am I getting in there with that monster.

Kane continues cutting, while the fans are going crazy, booing the shit out of him. He grabs chunks after chunks, and cuts all them off, leaving Punk’s hair looking very... very patchy, some bits long, some bits extremely short. Kane stands up, letting Punk fall back down, and simply laughs before leaving the ring and walking up the ramp.

***​

Once the highlight ends we are at the announce desk...

Michael Cole: As you saw, CM Punk won the match, but Kane got the last laugh as he cut most of CM Punk’s hair right off.

Jim Ross: And we all know how CM Punk’s hair is a symbol of his straight edge lifestyle.

King: As a result, CM Punk even requested a rematch here tonight!

‘BANG...’

*MAN ON FIRE...*​

The arena lights up in red, as The Big Red Monster, Kane walks out from behind the curtain, focused on his rematch tonight.

Michael Cole: Like you said, King, CM Punk requested this match after Kane choke slammed him after their match and then cut chunks of Punk’s hair out!

Jim Ross: This match isn’t about draft picks ladies and gentleman, this match is all about revenge for Punk, and simply for inflicting pain for the demented Kane.

King: I’m not sure if Punk has though this through, maybe he acted in the heat of the moment?

Jim Ross: Either way, Punk has never been one to back down from a fight but... wait a minute... HEY!

Suddenly, the fans erupt in cheers as KANE IS CLOBBERED FROM BEHIND BY CM PUNK, THE BRIEFCASE SMASHING OFF THE BACK KANE’S HEAD! Kane drops down to one knee as Punk takes his shirt off, his long hair isn’t with us anymore as all of his hair now has been pretty much shaved off. Punk grabs Kane from behind the head and runs him into the ring post! He picks Kane up and rolls him into the ring where the referee can start this match!

Singles Match
Mr. Money in the Bank CM Punk vs. Kane


We join this match a few minutes where CM Punk backs Kane into the corner and Irish-whip him but Kane reverses, Punk rebounds off the ropes and is planted with a huge spinning side slam! The fans boo but Kane doesn’t really care as he heads to the top rope, and measures Punk. Mister Money in the Bank climbs to his feet and Kane goes for a flying clothesline from the top rope... but Punk connects with a drop kick in the middle of the air! Punk gets to his feet, while Kane gets to his knees, and Punk connects with a couple of stiff kicks before bouncing off the ropes and smashes Kane in the face with a running knee... cover... 1... 2... NO!

Punk looks out into the crowd, and signifies it’s time to go to sleep, he measures Kane and picks him up... only for Kane to wriggle out and clothesline Punk over the top rope... but Kane tumbles over at the same time! Kane the first to get up, he picks Punk up before smashing his face off the top of the table. The Big Red Monster then pulls the top of the announcer’s desk off and it seems he’s going to CHOKESLAM Punk through the table as he grabs him by the throat. He tries to but Punk elbows Kane on the side of the head! Punk then runs Kane into the ring post! He pulls him up and slides him into the ring and goes for the cover... 1... 2... NO!

Punk doesn’t waste any time, he picks Kane up and whips him into the corner. Punk runs at him and connects with his special knee to the face... before connecting with a running bulldog... cover... 1... 2... NO! Punk stands up and measures Kane, but The Big Red Monster simply rolls out of the ring, Punk goes to follow but the referee stops him. We see Kane grabs something from ringside but Punk hasn’t... he dives through the top and second rope... but Kane turns around smashes the briefcase on Punk’s head!


Winner: CM Punk @ 9.23 via DQ

The referee quickly calls for the bell as Kane stands above Punk, briefcase in his hands! The fans give him so much shit but he doesn’t care, instead he picks Punk up, rolls him into the ring and wraps his hand around Punk’s neck, looking for the chokeslam... but he doesn’t slam him down, instead Kane looks like he’s talking to himself, shaking his head over and over BEFORE LETTING GO OF PUNK AND BACKING AWAY!

Punk kneels on the mat, while Kane backs away, still seemingly talking to himself, he steps over the top rope and down onto the mat. The Big Red Monster then walks up the ramp, still talking to himself while Punk is handed his briefcase which now has a dent on the other side, as a result of the shot to his head!

Michael Cole: What on earth is going on with Kane? For weeks we’ve seen Kane act extremely strange, sort of like he’s talking to someone or something in side of him.

King: Kane did tell everyone that he has a demon inside of him, and that it has been reawaken.

Jim Ross: I don’t believe in all this demon stuff, but I’ve seen Kane do some disgusting stuff, to me and to others.

Punk clutches his briefcase to his chest, looking extremely confused over what just happened as we fade to a commercial.

Silence for a moment...

‘YOU THINK YOU KNOW ME...’

*METALINGUS...*
Smoke fills the stage as The Rated R Superstar; Edge makes his way out from the back, wearing a pair of sunglasses, jeans and a ‘Rated R’ shirt. The former World Heavyweight Champion walks on down to the ring, where he is getting a positive response from the crowd after the show of respect that was shown last night between Cena and him.

Jim Ross: Last night, Edge and John Cena competed in an epic match to determine the World Heavyweight Champion, unfortunately for Edge, he came up short but both men put on a show last night.

Michael Cole: They did indeed, and after the match Edge even shook the hand of John Cena.

King: Like you said, J.R, Edge and John Cena don’t like each other, but they do respect each other.

Jim Ross: That’s true, Edge is John Cena’s biggest rival, likewise with Cena rival being Edge, the fans showed their appreciation last night after a huge match. And then Big Show tried to ruin a great match by interfering after the match was done, he tried to ruin a great moment but he simply created another when John Cena saved his biggest rival from a beating.

The Rated R Superstar now steps into the ring, he takes his sunglasses off and throws them to the side, before being handed a microphone by someone at ringside. He walks to the centre where he gets a round of applause for his showing last night in the championship match.

Edge: Y’know what? First off... thank you for that round of applause, I appreciate it.

Cheer while Edge nods...

Edge: Last night at Backlash, John Cena and I put on a show, now I still don’t like John Cena, but last night he gained my respect, and I’m pretty sure I gained his.

Another pop...

Edge: Now, I lost my shot at the World Heavyweight Championship, the thing I worked my whole career to hold, all of the blood, sweat and tears all built up to me holding that title. You would think I’d be mad or upset right now, wouldn’t you?

Edge takes a pause...

Edge: But no, well actually – truthfully I am pretty annoyed at myself, but in the same vein, I’m actually pretty happy tonight.

Another pause...

Edge: And I’ll tell you why – I’ve finally got rid of the one thing... the one thing that made my life hell. That thing is none other... than Vickie... Guerrero.

Huge heat at the mention of Vickie...

Edge: About a month ago... Vickie lost her job as SmackDown General Manager... so y’know what I did? I dumped her ass!

This actually gets a pretty good pop from the crowd...

Edge: I dumped her... and then...

Edge smirks a little...

Edge: And then she runs into the arms of... of... The Big Show...

This gets a lot of heat from the crowd...

Edge: Hey... I agree with all of you, it’s disgusting... it’s sickening. But hey, let and let live and all of that... those two whales are welcome to each other.

The Boston crowd react with a good pop as Edge smirks...

Edge: Unfortunately... when I broke up with Vickie... it wasn’t one hundred percent official... but today... I got a call from my divorce attorney... and he told me that my divorce has been finalized.

Huge cheer...

Edge: From this day forth... Vickie Guerrero is no longer my wife... we’re officially split up.

Another pretty big pop from the crowd while Edge looks pleased with himself...

Edge: But... after what happened last night... it seems Vickie Guerrero still holds a grudge against me. I can understand why... I mean... I did publically embarrass her when I dumped her ass the first time... then I embarrassed her when I pinned her new boyfriend to become number one contender to the World Heavyweight Championship.

Pause...

Edge: But last night at Backlash... after one of the greatest World Heavyweight Championship matches in recent memory... after two of the greatest rivals went toe to toe... Vickie got her new boyfriend to come down to this ring... knowing I was hurtin’... knowing I was beat up... to get some sort of revenge.

Boos directed at Vickie and Show...

Edge: Well... that didn’t work out as planned did it?

Pop...

Edge: Now I’ll admit... Vickie did help me in some ways... when she was GM she got me title matches... but then she lost her job... and that meant she was worthless to me. Before she lost her job though... she... in my view... cost me the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania... she cost me the one thing I worked for my whole career... so if anyone should hold a grudge... it should be me right?

Pause...

Edge: Not a month after we unofficially went our separate ways... Vickie is now sleeping with the fat tub of lard that is The Big Show.

Heat...

Edge: But y’know what they say... once a slut... always a slut.

This gets a huge pop as The Rated R Superstar smiles...

Edge: Y’know... to be honest... I don’t know who I feel sorry for the most. I mean... if Big Show rolls over in bed... then she’s guaranteed to be crushed to death. But on the other hand... Show now has to listen to that voice... that nails on a blackboard voice... he has to listen to that every day.

Pause...

Edge: But like I said... once a slut, always a slut.

Another pause...

Edge: And believe me... I’ve had my fair share of experience with a certain other one so I know one when I see one...

???: Excuse me!

Edge turns to the stage where none other than Vickie Guerrero and Big Show stand, the fans boo extremely loudly as Vickie and Show walk down the ramp, she still talks on her way.

Vickie Guerrero: Who the... EXCUSE ME!

This gathers lots of heat from the crowd...

Vickie Guerrero: Just who... EXCUSE ME!

The fans aren’t letting Guerrero talk...

Vickie Guerrero: How dare you! How dare you, Edge... how dare you call me a slut!

Vickie and Show are now at the ring, looking up at Edge...

Vickie Guerrero: Y’know what you are... a hypocrite.

Heat for Vickie channelling her inner Chris Jericho, the two of them climb into the ring and stand in front of Edge...

Vickie Guerrero: You’re a hypocrite... because when we were engaged... you KISSED THE DAMN WEDDING PLANNER!

Edge looks out into the fans and shrugs his shoulders...

Edge: What can I say?

Vickie Guerrero: Listen to me! I made your career what it is...

‘Oh really’ mouths Edge...

Vickie Guerrero: Yeah... REALLY!

Edge: No... you didn’t make my career... the numerous TLC matches did... the championships did... the rivalries I’ve had with the likes of The Undertaker and John Cena.

Huge pop for the mention of ‘Taker and Cena...

Vickie Guerrero: Your career... your career is over... it’s over now that you no longer have me holding your hand.

Edge: Are you for real? No... seriously... are you that stupid? Before I met you... I was a multiple time WWE Champion and World Heavyweight Champion... I didn’t need you... and I don’t need you now.

Huge pop...

Vickie Guerrero: Accept it... your career is over... and because of the disrespect you showed me... you will have to deal with The Largest Athlete In The World.

Edge: Athlete is a bit of a stretch, don’t you think?

Vickie Guerrero: EXCUSE ME! Shut up while I’m taking.

Heat...

Vickie Guerrero: Y’see... The Big Show... he makes me feel things I’ve never felt before... he’s the best thing to ever happen to her... he makes me happy!

Edge: That’s only because he’s the only one who’ll sit through a ten course meal with you...

Edge turns to the crowd...

Edge: Believe me... I’ve tried... it’s not easy.

Show speaks into the microphone...

Big Show: Hey! I’ll have you know... I’m the lightest I’ve been in years.

‘Oh okay...’ Edge mouths...

Vickie Guerrero: Divorcing me... was the worst thing you could have done... because now... The Big Show and I... are going to make your life... a living... HELL!

SUDDENLY BIG SHOW ATTEMPTS TO DRIVE A RIGHT FIST INTO EDGE’S FACE... BUT THE RATED R SUPERSTAR DUCKS IT! He comes out behind Show, who turns around into a kick to the gut! Edge continues laying into Show with right fists but Show pushes Edge off... HE HITS THE ROPES... REBOUNDS... SPEAR... NO... SHOW SIDESTEPS... EDGE SPEARS VICKIE! The crowd react with a massive pop as Vickie lies on the mat, looking terrible as The Rated R Superstar rolls out of the ring, he backs up the ramp, smiling as Show kneels beside Vickie and looks up at Edge.

Jim Ross: My god! Edge just speared Vickie! He was going for Big Show but he ducked out the way, and got his ex wife!

Michael Cole: Big Show made the first move, trying to knock out Edge but he was too alert and in the end, just like last night – it ended badly for Vickie and Show.

King: At least that shut her up, I don’t think I could’ve handled another minute of her voice.

Jim Ross: Big Show does not look happy, this isn’t the last we’ve heard from this.

Fade away...

{Commercials}​

Back on RAW...

*MAN WITH A PLAN...*​

The new WWE Tag Team Champions make their presence felt as The Brian Kendrick and Ezekiel Jackson walk out from the back, Jackson with the belt over his shoulder while Kendrick is more traditional with the title around his waist.


Jim Ross: This ladies and gentleman is a champion versus champion match which will result in two draft picks for the winning teams brand.

Michael Cole: This team defeated The Colons last night to win the WWE Tag Team Champions but they face a tough test tonight against the World Tag Team Champions, JTG and Shad... Cryme Tyme.

King: They won that match under dubious circumstances, but fortunately for them, they don’t need to worry about any ramifications after The Colons were drafted to RAW.

Jim Ross: I’m not a fan of this team, simply because of the way they win matches, but tonight I will be hoping they pick up the victory, SmackDown needs a draft pick and soon.

Kendrick slides into the ring while Jackson climbs onto the apron before stepping into it, the two men then hand their championships to the referee and wait for their opponents.

‘BROOKLYN BROOKLYN...’

*BRINGIN’ THE HOOD TO YOU...*

The crowd respond with a good sized pop as the World Tag Team Champions, Cryme Tyme come out from the back, both men look fired up. The belts are over their shoulders while they high five in their special way before walking down to the ring, JTG gets in the cameras face while Shad is all business, staring at his opponents in the ring.

Michael Cole: Cryme Tyme, after a few years of trying and failing, they finally won the tag team titles when they defeated The Miz and Chris Jericho, with a little bit of help from John Morrison.

King: They deserved it though, they took Miz and Jericho to their limits, they are good guys and they deserved those titles.

Jim Ross: I spoke to them earlier backstage, and had to check my pockets just in case they stole my wallet!

JTG and Shad climb into the ring, they climb the turnbuckles and show off their belts before dropping down, handing them to the referee and retreating into their corners.

Champion vs. Champion: Tag Team Match; Two Draft Picks On The Line
World Tag Team Champions Cryme Tyme vs. WWE Tag Team Champions The Brian Kendrick & Ezekiel Jackson


We join this match with Brian Kendrick holding JTG in the corner, he throttles him with a couple of right fists before tagging in his huge partner, Ezekiel Jackson. Jackson enters the ring and hoists JTG up into a gorilla press slam position... and throws him down... but he lands on Kendrick’s knee! JTG falls away and rolls to his corner and tags in Shad. Jackson to the centre of the ring, where Shad meets him, the two behemoth’s stare off, staring into each other’s eyes. Shad suddenly sets off running and hits a shoulder block but Jackson stands his ground. ‘Zeke does the same, and Shad doesn’t move at all. Shad tries again... but Jackson runs at him and connects with a huge clothesline!

Jackson picks the big man up before Irish-whipping him but Shad returns with a mega big boot, cover... 1... 2... NO! Shad tags in JTG who climbs to the top rope and soars through the air with a drop kick, another cover... 1... 2... KICK OUT! JTG gets to his feet and Irish-whips him but Jackson reverses and Kendrick kicks the back of JTG when he hits the ropes! JTG turns around to face Kendrick who simply backs off, but JTG turns around and his floored by a huge clothesline!

Jackson angrily picks JTG up before planting him with a body slam before kneeling down and locking in a sleeper hold! JTG eventually manages to twist to his feet, he elbows him a couple of times before breaking his grip and hitting the ropes... before hitting a jumping swinging neckbreaker! Both men are down but it isn’t long until both men get the tag to their respective tag partner. Both men run at each other but Shad takes Kendrick down with a clothesline and then another! He measures Kendrick before exploding forward and connecting with a big boot!

Shad then spots Jackson on the outside, and tags in JTG again while he slides out of the ring and the two big men start brawling on the outside. JTG meanwhile measures Kendrick, before going for ‘Da Shout Out but Kendrick ducks and then rolls JTG up... 1... 2... 3!


Winners: The Brian Kendrick & Ezekiel Jackson @ 11.05

Again, Kendrick and Jackson win a tag team match, but again they cheat to win. Jackson grabs the titles from ringside, steps over Shad who he laid out and slides into the ring, Kendrick takes one of the belts off his partner and they celebrate together.

Michael Cole: Kendrick and Jackson steal a victory again, and not only that – they steal two draft picks for Friday Night SmackDown.

Jim Ross: I don’t condone what they done, but it’s always a good thing when we get a draft pick.

King: Just remember, J.R, the next draft picks are tainted.

Jim Ross: Be that as it may... let’s find out who is coming to Friday Nights!

WWE DRAFT PICK #4 – SMACKDOWN

The familiar wheel appears on the screen, and it spins and spins until it disappears and the first pick for SmackDown is...
...
...

DOLPH ZIGGLER!
DRAFTED TO FRIDAY NIGHT SMACKDOWN!​

***​

*I AM PERFECTION...*​

We return to the main arena where the man himself Dolph Ziggler walks out from behind the curtain, he confidently strides out wearing his usual attire before telling everyone that it’s his time. He stands on the stage for a few moments before feeling satisfied with himself and taking his leave, allowing for the second draft pick to be revealed.

Jim Ross: Well... Dolph Zigger is a young bright Superstar and now he’ll be plying his trade on the blue brand, but let’s see who we get next.

WWE DRAFT PICK #5 – SMACKDOWN

Dat wheel... spinning and spinning... until it disappears before revealing...
...
...

JOHN MORRISON!
DRAFTED TO FRIDAY NIGHT SMACKDOWN!


***​

*AIN’T NO MAKE BELIEVE...*​

The crowd pop as John Morrison, The Shaman of Sexy walks out from behind the curtain, looking very pleased that he’s been drafted. Morrison doesn’t have his attire on, instead its jeans and a shirt, but nonetheless he looks extremely pleased, he poses for the fans for a second before staring down at Kendrick and Jackson in the ring who simply look up at him.

Jim Ross: I’m a huge fan of this man, he went toe to toe last night with not one but two people after Shawn Michaels suffered an injury, and I can’t wait to see how he does on Friday Night SmackDown!

Michael Cole: Morrison had only been on RAW for the past month after ECW disbanded, this goes to show no one is safe from being drafted.

King: While I’m not happy about losing a star like John Morrison, I wish him luck over on SmackDown, you just drafted two great young Superstars, J.R.

Morrison turns around and leaves the stage as we cut backstage...

... where the current World Heavyweight Champion, John Cena is currently pimping, talking to not one but two divas... Brie and Nikki Bella, The Bella Twins. The crowd react with a huge pop for the second time they’ve seen their hometown hero tonight, but then the cheers turn to boos as Matt Hardy appears behind Cena. The Champ’ turns around, he says bye to The Bellas first but is then solely focused on Matt.


Matt Hardy: Did you see, John?

John Cena: See what?

Matt Hardy: What I did last night? Did you see what I did... what I did to Jeff?

Cena shakes his head, disappointed in Matt’s pleasure...

John Cena: Y’know what... I did see that and I thought what you did... I thought it was damn right barbaric. You might have thought you were puttin’ yourself on the map... nah... you were just actin’ out of jealously of your brothers success.

Matt smirks, not letting Cena’s jealously jibe get to him...

John Cena: But y’know what the worst part was... the fact that you took pride in it. You took pride in doin’ that to your own brother... your own flesh and blood.

Matt Hardy: Yeah... I did take pride in it... but do you blame me? For years... I’ve been in the shadows... not anymore... I took my brother and decimated him... in front of the world... I’ve put myself on the map. I’m not waitin’ for my chance anymore... I’m takin’ it.

Matt looks at Cena’s belt which is around his shoulder...

Matt Hardy: And now... I’ve got my eyes... firmly set on your World Heavyweight Championship.

John Cena: Y’know me... ya’ want some...

‘Come get some’...

John Cena: ... Come get some.

Matt Hardy: Be careful what you wish for... because I could put you out of action... just like I did to Jeff.

Matt goes to walk off until...

John Cena: Hey... woah... woah... out of action?

Matt Hardy: Yeah I-

John Cena: Uh... you must have got your wires crossed... y’see... Jeff... he isn’t that badly hurt... not at the level you think anyway... you put him out... but not for the length you think.

Pop from the crowd...

John Cena: Y’see... your brother... he’ll be back... in two weeks time... and I bet he’s got some words for you...

Huge pop as Matt shakes his head...

Matt Hardy: Who told-

John Cena: Who told me? Teddy Long... the SmackDown GM told me.

Matt shakes his head again...

Matt Hardy: We’ll see...

Hardy walks off, probably to speak to Teddy as John watches on, and he shakes his head as we fade to a commercial break.

{Commercials}​

We’re back on RAW... and we’re backstage where the camera is following Matt Hardy from behind. He stops at Theodore Long’s office for the night and enters without knocking, the camera follows and we see Teddy in conversation with Maria and Gail Kim. He turns to face Matt before telling the divas he’ll deal with the fact that there is no Divas belt on SmackDown any more, they leave which leaves Matt and Teddy alone.

Theodore Long: What can I do for you playa?

Matt Hardy: Cut the crap... I want to know... when will Jeff be back and able to compete?

Theodore Long: Doctors say he should be cleared to compete in two weeks time... why?

Matt doesn’t answer for a few seconds...

Matt Hardy: That can’t be possible... I put him through hell last night.

Theodore Long: Look... Jeff is one of the most resilient Superstars on SmackDown... you shouldn’t be shocked by this, playa.

Matt Hardy: Whatever... look... I want you to remember somethin’... last night I won... he lost... when you decide who becomes number one contender for Cena’s title... keep that in mind.

Theodore Long: I will.

Matt and Long stare at each other before Matt leaves and we cut to another part of the arena...

... where Josh Matthews is waiting with a microphone in his hand.


Josh Matthews: Ladies and gentleman... please welcome my guests at this time... they are the newest tag team on Monday Night RAW... The Colons!

The crowd give out a nice pop as Carlito and Primo walk into the shot...

Josh Matthews: First off... welcome to RAW. Secondly... how does it feel to be drafted to Monday Nights?

Carlito takes the lead...

Carlito: As ju’ know... Carlito has been on RAW before... and Carlito has got to say... he enjoyed his stay the last time... so he knows that he and his brother will enjoy it the second time round.

Primo takes over...

Primo: Yeah... Carlito has experience on this brand... but I’m completely new to it... but I’m excited to get started.

Matthews takes the microphone back...

Josh Matthews: Lastly... what do you think of the tag team division here on RAW?

Carlito takes the lead again...

Carlito: ‘Da tag team division on RAW... it’s pretty good, Josh. And now that ‘da Colons are on RAW... it’s only gonna’ get better... and we’ve got j’our sights firmly on ‘dem World Tag Team Championships.

Matthews takes the microphone and backs away as Drew McIntyre and Nigel McGuiness appear on the scene.

Drew McIntyre: Is that so is it?

Nigel McGuiness: Who do you fella’s think you are? You don’t come to RAW... our show... and talk about the tag team division... talk about the championships that will soon be around our waists.

Drew McIntyre: If you two want a shot... then get to the end of the queue.

Carlito and Primo take a step forward...

Carlito: ‘Da Colons have no problem beatin’ ‘ju two clowns to become number one contenders.

Primo: We’re former WWE Tag Team Champions... we have no problem goin’ through ‘ju two.

Drew McIntyre: Former... former is the key word here. Now listen here... once William Regal beats Mysterio for the Intercontinental Championships... and once we win the World Tag Team Championships, nothin’ will stop us from running this brand.

???: Is that so?

The camera pans out, and we see Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase walk into view, the three teams are in a circle, glancing to and from each other.

Cody Rhodes: You two think you will run this brand? Nah... we run this brand. Legacy run this brand.

Ted DiBiase: With Randy as WWE Champion and soon enough... when we become World Tag Team Champions... Legacy will be covered in gold... just like we should be.

The three teams then, in somewhat comical fashion, start arguing with each other, all three of them are doing it so we can’t really hear what they are saying, it just sounds like jumbo as we cut to the main arena.

In the ring already is The All American American, Jack Swagger who is holding a microphone.

Jack Swagger: Last week... I taught Charlie Haas a vital... vital lesson... so bring on my next opponent... because the last ever ECW Champion... and the All American American is ready to teach the next guy a lesson!

Swagger lets go of the microphone before...

*UNSTOPPABLE...*​

A huge pop greets the arrival of SmackDown Superstar, who is having his first non PPV match since returning, Bobby Lashley. Bobby makes his way down the ramp, looking very focused on Swagger.

Jim Ross: Jack Swagger has his work cut out for him tonight as he faces the man who defeated Vladimir Kozlov last night at Backlash, on his return to the WWE.

Michael Cole: Bobby Lashley is a behemoth of a man, he returned last night and defeated the man who was demanding competiton, but after the match, when Lashley was being interviewed he was attacked and a brawl insued between the two men.

King: I hope that will play on Lashley’s mind because Swagger will need all the help he can get to defeat Bobby tonight.

Lashley hops onto the apron which is greeted with a blast of fireworks before he steps into the ring.

Singles Match; One Draft Pick On The Line
Bobby Lashley vs. Jack Swagger


After a hard thought opening, Jack Swagger has managed to ground his opponent and begins working on the ankle of Lashley. Swagger stomps on the ankle before dragging his opponent to the ropes and then places his ankle on the bottom rope, before jumping up and stomping on the elevated ankle. Jack drops down and looks for the victory with the cover... 1... 2... NO! Lashley kicks out to a good pop but Swagger continues his assault by picking him up and Irish-whipping him in to the corner. Swagger backs into the opposite corner, he pounds his chest before sprinting at Lashley and connecting with a splash! Lashley stays in the corner as Swagger proceeds to walk around the ring gloating but he then turns around and Lashley explodes from the corner and takes Swagger down with a clothesline!

Lashley looks extremely pissed off as he grabs Swagger, picking him up before Irish-whipping him. He rebounds off the ropes and is then flipped over Lashley’s head! Lashley drops down into the cover... 1... 2... KICK OUT! The fans boo and Lashley gets right back on the horse, he picks Swagger up and Irish-whips him again, he rebounds but is then caught by Lashley and planted with a belly-to-belly suplex! Lashley fires him up and measures his opponent, Swagger gets to his feet but manages to poke Lashley in the eye, he then kicks him in the and goes for the GUTWRENCH POWERBOMB... but Lashley puts all his weight on the floor before breaking out and connecting with the DOMINATOR! Cover... 1... 2...3!


Winner: Bobby Lashley @ 07.54

Lashley picks up the victory and has his hand raised by the referee as Swagger is rolled out of the ring. Lashley celebrates on the top rope, posing for the fans.

Jim Ross: Yes! SmackDown get another draft pick, and I can tell this is going to be a big one.

Michael Cole: Let’s hope not, it’s been a great night for RAW so far... I don’t want to lose anyone huge.

King: Well let’s not waste any time.

WWE DRAFT PICK #6 – SMACKDOWN

The familiar wheel starts spinning and eventually it stops, disappearing before we see the newest member of SmackDown...
...
...

CHRIS JERICHO!
DRAFTED TO FRIDAY NIGHT SMACKDOWN!


***​

‘BREAK THE WALLS DOWN...’

*BREAK THE WALLS DOWN...*


Huge heat from the arena as the first mega star of the evening has been drafted, the self proclaimed Best In The World walks out on the stage, Chris Jericho. He shows no emotion as he stands surveying the crowd.

Jim Ross: SmackDown drafts Chris Jericho! What a move for SmackDown, a huge star has just been drafted.

Michael Cole: Well, while I’m disappointed to see SmackDown take one of our biggest stars, I’m a little happy that we don’t have to listen to Jericho every week on Monday nights.

King: I hear that, Cole... I’m glad we don’t have to listen to him, now if only The Miz would be taken away from us.

Jericho stands on the stage for a moment longer before we cut away into a commercial.

{Commercials}​

We return and it’s all action as Bobby Lashley and Vladimir Kozlov are brawling on the stage, the two behemoths are going at it, they punch each other over and over, clubbing each other trying to gain the advantage. Eventually, Kozlov starts to take the advantage, taking advantage of the tired Bobby Lashley, he grabs him by the back of the head and RAMS HIM INTO THE STAGE! The crowd boo as Lashley falls to the steel below as Kozlov stands above him.

Jim Ross: Ladies and gentleman... Vladimir Kozlov has just sent a message to Bobby Lashley... it seems this rivalry isn’t over.

Michael Cole: Indeed not ladies and gentleman, but to give you some contest, here’s what happened during the commercial break...

***

DURING THE COMMERCIAL BREAK

With Jericho gone from the stage, Lashley leaves the ring and walks up the ramp, high fiving some fans before walking up the rest of it. He turns around on the top of the ramp and poses for the fans, but is then attacked from behind by Kozlov and the two behemoths eventually go at it...

***​

Kozlov backs away from Lashley, smiling at his work while referees come out and check on Bobby.

Michael Cole: As you saw, an attack from behind by The Moscow Mauler but right now ladies and gentleman, our colleague Josh Matthews is waiting backstage.

With that, we cut backstage where, indeed, Josh Matthews is waiting.

Josh Matthews: Please welcome my guest at this time... he is the newest member of SmackDown... Chris Jericho!

And on cue, Jericho appears, receiving huge heat from the crowd...

Josh Matthews: I guess I’ll start off by asking, Chris... how do you feel about leaving RAW?

Jericho looks at Matthews with a look that could kill...

Chris Jericho: What did you call me?

Josh Matthews: Uh...

Chris Jericho: You called me Chris... you address me as Mr. Jericho... you show me respect.

Matthews nods...

Chris Jericho: My feelings on leaving RAW? I feel good... it’s a good feeling and I’ll tell you why... it’s because of all these... people.

Heat...

Chris Jericho: For months... these people have been giving me abuse... these hypocrites have tried to derail my career with their parasitic views. And the fans on SmackDown... they better show me the respect I deserve on Friday.

More heat...

Chris Jericho: Chris Jericho has been a staple of Monday Night RAW for years... but now I’m a SmackDown Superstar... and that means one thing... John Cena... the World Heavyweight Champion has my attention.

Jericho pauses...

Chris Jericho: Y’see... John Cena and I... we have unfinished business. It was Survivor Series when John Cena ended my World Heavyweight Championship reign... and I haven’t forgotten about that... so I will be the one that ends his title reign.

Huge heat...

Josh Matthews: Well, Chr... Mr. Jericho... what’s your thoughts on breaking up with The Miz?

Chris Jericho: You make it sound like The Miz and I were a couple. Honestly... I don’t particular care... over the past month I’ve helped The Miz improve himself... improve his career. Why? Because I saw some of myself in him... like me... he is unjustly abused by these fans... by these hypocrites.

This gets some more heat...

Chris Jericho: Because of me... The Miz has learned how to be a top Superstar... and because of me he won a pay-per-view match last night at Backlash. The Miz doesn’t need me to hold his hand... he’s big enough and good enough to handle himself.

Josh Matthews: Thank you for your time.

With that, the interview is wrapped up and Jericho turns around and leaves as we cut to another part of the arena where...

... John Cena is getting ready for his match later on tonight, he is sat on a steel chair putting on his knee pads when The Rated R Superstar, Edge walks in, prompting Cena to stand up and the fans cheer as they go face to face once more.

Edge: I guess I should thank you for savin’ me last night... but I’m not gonna’ do that. I could’ve handled Show on my own... just like I did earlier tonight.

John Cena: Yeah... sure you did. And f-y-i... I didn’t save you... I saved the match. I was makin’ sure that Show didn’t ruin a great end to a great match.

Pop...

Edge: Be that as it may, Cena... just remember... when I’m done with Big Show... I don’t care who it is... whoever’s champion will be in my sights.

John Cena: Lookin’ forward to it.

Edge goes to leave but stops...

Edge: Oh, by the way... good luck tonight... against Randy Orton... ‘cause you’re gonna’ need it.

This time, Edge actually leaves as Cena watches on as we cut back into the main arena.

*WHAT’S UP...*

And it’s time for the second champion versus champion match of the night as R-Truth, the WWE United States Champion skips out from the back, doing his usual rapping crap.

Michael Cole: Next up ladies and gentleman, two extremely athletic Superstars go head to head as R-Truth, the WWE United States Champion takes on the WWE Intercontinental Champion, Rey Mysterio.

Jim Ross: I can’t wait for this, R-Truth won the title from MVP a few weeks ago and hasn’t looked back since.

King: Rey Mysterio has been in pretty great form too, after beating John Bradshaw Layfield at WrestleMania in record time, he managed to overcome the odds and defeat William Regal.

Truth climbs into the ring and poses for the crowd.

R-Truth: BOSTON! WHAT’S UP!?

Huge pop from the crowd and then Truth begins to prepare for his opponent.

‘BOOYAKA BOOYAKA...’

*BOOYAKA 619...*​

The WWE Intercontinental Champion now makes his entrance, as Rey Mysterio walks out from the back, getting a massive cheer from the crowd. He walks to either side of the stage, setting off his pyro before walking on down to the ring, interacting with a few fans.

Michael Cole: Last night, Rey Mysterio overcame the odds once again, he is a former World Heavyweight Champion and last night he retaining the Intercontinental Champion. After the match however, he was attacked by Drew McIntyre and Nigel McGuiness.

King: Luckily for Mysterio, two men had saw enough, and those two men were Cryme Tyme, who have had run ins with Drew Mac’ and Nigel McGuiness.

Jim Ross: As you saw earlier, the tag team division on RAW is really heating up, so Cryme Tyme will have more than McGuiness and McIntyre to deal with in the coming weeks.

Mysterio climbs into the ring and ascends the turnbuckle; holding his title belt in the air before dropping down.

Champion vs. Champion: Singles Match; One Draft Pick On The Line
WWE Intercontinental Champion Rey Mysterio vs. WWE United States Champion R-Truth


After a fast paced opening, R-Truth is the one in control at this moment as he pulls Rey to his feet and pushes him off the ropes, Irish-whipping him but Rey rebounds and baseball slides through Truth’s legs. Truth sprints at Rey but Mysterio ducks and hits a drop kick when Truth turns around! Rey scampers to the cover... 1... 2... NO! Mysterio now picks Truth up but he retaliates with an elbow to the gut and then whips him into the corner. The U.S Champion sprints at Rey but he gets two feet up and Truth runs straight into them. Truth stumbles away as Mysterio climbs to the second rope and then soars through the air and connects with a cross body... no... Truth grabs Mysterio in mid air and turns him into a power slam! Cover... 1... 2... KICK OUT!

Truth doesn’t waste any time and decides to lock in a sleeper hold to the fans chagrin. Rey is stuck in this for quite a while until the fans get him fired up and he manages to get to his feet, he elbows Truth in the gut and runs, breaking his grip. He rebounds off the ropes and goes for a clothesline but Truth kicks Rey in the gut! He bounces off the ropes and goes for the CORKSCREW SCISSOR KICK... but Rey moves out the way. Truth gets up quickly but Rey is already running at him and connects with a tilt-a-whirl and Truth is propelled forward onto the second rope... 619... Rey climbs up the top rope and hits a SPLASH! Cover... 1... 2... 3!


Winner: Rey Mysterio @ 12.29

The crowd pop as Mysterio picks up the victory over the United States Champion, he gets to his feet and his hand lifted before being handed his WWE Intercontinental Championship.

Michael Cole: Rey Mysterio comes through for RAW! He defeated a tough opponent in R-Truth and now RAW has another draft pick!

King: I always had faith in Rey, now let’s see who we get, let it be someone big!

Jim Ross: I have to say, despite not winning a draft pick, we just witnessed a great match.

WWE DRAFT PICK #7 – RAW

You spin me right round...
...
...

MVP!
DRAFTED TO MONDAY NIGHT RAW!


***​

*I’M COMIN...*​

The crowd respond with a cheer as the newest member of RAW jogs out from the back, MVP runs to each side of the stage, posing for the crowd before standing in the centre and staring down at Mysterio, who stares back.

Michael Cole: RAW gets MVP! What a draft pick this is, one of the best young Superstars on SmackDown has just now switched brands.

Jim Ross: MVP spent all his days on SmackDown but now he’ll have to restart on RAW.

King: RAW is looking pretty stacked right now!

MVP leaves the stage as we fade to a commercial break.

{Commercials}​

We rejoin RAW... and are backstage where Ric Flair is talking to someone on the phone.

Ric Flair: Yeah... well good luck with the recovery... how far are you from being ready to compete... good... someone needs to stop Orton... talk to ya’ later, Dave.

Flair hangs up, and just as he does that William Regal enters the room...

Ric Flair: What can I do for you?

William Regal: Out of courtesy, I thought I’d come here and inform you that last night... it was a blip... a travesty. What happened... it was a blip on my plan to become WWE Intercontinental Champion.

Flair doesn’t respond...

William Regal: I’m here... because I’m asking you for a rematch for the title. You saw what happened, Mysterio took advantage of a terrible predicament with the referee down.

Ric Flair: What I saw... was Mysterio takin’ advantage of a situation that you created. And if you want a rematch... your gonna’ have to earn it. Next week... you’ll compete in a number one contenders match to determine Rey’s opponent at Judgment Day... good luck.

Regal goes to leave but stops...

William Regal: Wait... against who?

Ric Flair: That’s for me to know... and for you to find out.

And with that, we cut away to another part of the arena where Randy Orton is sat on a steel chair, staring at his WWE Championship. He stands up swiftly when DiBiase and Rhodes walk in.

Randy Orton: Where the hell were you two? What took so long?

Ted DiBiase: Calm down... we just had to deal with some other stuff about the tag team titles.

Randy Orton: I don’t care about the tag team titles... now I sent you to find out what Flair wanted... now... tell me.

Rhodes takes the lead...

Cody Rhodes: Basically... remember when we invaded Shane McMahon’s house?

Orton nods...

Ted DiBiase: Basically... next week... you’ll compete against him.

Cody Rhodes: In a street fight.

Orton surprisingly doesn’t look pissed off...

Randy Orton: Good... good... that means I can finish off the last standing McMahon.

Rhodes and DiBiase glance at each other, possibly they expected Orton to shout and scream but instead, The Viper sits back down and stares into the distance as we cut to the ring where the ring is filled with Superstars.

Michael Cole: What you are seeing ladies and gentleman, is ten RAW Superstars in the ring against ten SmackDown Superstars, and the surviving team wins two draft pick for their brands.

Jim Ross: This is a battle royal so it should be every man for themselves but I think their will be some teams forming in this match.

King: The RAW Superstars better get along, we need some more draft picks!

10 on 10 Battle Royal; Two Draft Picks On The Line
Carlito, Charlie Haas, CM Punk, Jack Swagger, JTG, Kofi Kingston, Mr. Kennedy, MVP, Primo & Shad vs. Chavo Guerrero, Chris Jericho, Christian, Dolph Ziggler, Evan Bourne, Finlay, Matt Hardy, Shelton Benjamin, Stevie Richards & Tommy Dreamer


We’re at the latter end of the match where we’re left with six men, three from each team, and those men are Chris Jericho, Christian and Matt Hardy from SmackDown and CM Punk, MVP and Mr. Kennedy from RAW. Jericho is currently got Punk in the corner, choking him while Matt has his hands full with Kennedy in the opposite corner but the main action is coming from MVP and Christian as Christian is dangling over the top rope with MVP nearly eliminating him. But Chris Jericho realizes this and jogs over, pulling MVP away but MVP fights Jericho off until Christian grabs him from behind and Irish-whips him while Jericho pulls the ropes down and MVP tumbles over the top!

CM Punk now gets involved while Kennedy is still dealing with Hardy, he clubs the back of Christian and gets some offense in, putting Christian down with a kick to the head but then turns round into a CODEBREAKER! Christian is back to his feet and now grabs Punk before tossing him over the top rope! Meanwhile, across the ring Kennedy has managed to get Matt onto the apron and he is nearly on the floor as his legs are dangling, that is until Christian and Jericho jog over and grab Kennedy, the two of them then run him to the other side and throw him over the top rope but he lands on the apron. Christian and Jericho then part as Hardy comes sprinting through and hits Kennedy in the gut with a shoulder thrust and he falls to the mat!


Winner: Chris Jericho, Christian & Matt Hardy @ 15.23
SmackDown Gets Two Draft Picks


The referee calls for the bell as SmackDown’s theme plays through the speakers, the referee raises each of the men’s arms in turn, but they simply stare at each other, not knowing what the other is going to do.

Jim Ross: As a result of this battle royal, SmackDown gets two new Superstars, we’ve already got a couple of good ones such as the man in the ring, Chris Jericho, let’s find out who’s next.

King: Better not be someone good.

WWE DRAFT PICK #8 – SMACKDOWN

‘Dat familiar wheel... it does its thing before disappearing and revealing...
...
...

KOFI KINGSTON!
DRAFTED TO FRIDAY NIGHT SMACKDOWN!


***

‘SOS I HEAR ‘DEM SHOUTIN...’

*SOS...*

The arena erupts with a cheer as Kofi Kingston makes his way out from the back, having just competed in this match he’s a little tired but he still puts on a show for the fans, slapping his hands together three times while the three men in the ring watch on.

Michael Cole: Damn it, we lose yet another top star.

Jim Ross: RAW had such a great start to the night in regards to the draft, but I think SmackDown is racing away in front now.

King: I don’t like this anymore, I’ve got a feeling the next one will be just as big as well.

You don’t have to wait long to find out, King, as Kingston disappears behind the curtain...

WWE DRAFT PICK #9 – SMACKDOWN

And again, the wheel spins... and spins... and spins until it disappears before revealing...
...
...

KANE!
DRAFTED TO FRIDAY NIGHT SMACKDOWN!


***​

‘BANG...’

*MAN ON FIRE...*​

The fans react with boos, and the men in the ring look worriedly at the ramp as The Big Red Monster, Kane walks out onto the stage. He stares down at the men in the ring, and starts laughing to himself.

Jim Ross: Oh no, I wanted a huge star... I didn’t want a twisted, sick man like Kane.

Michael Cole: I’ve got to say – I’m glad that Kane is going to SmackDown.

King: Me too... means we don’t need to deal with him on RAW... anymore.

Michael Cole: Good luck, J.R.

Jim Ross: Thanks...

Kane leaves the stage while the three men watch on as we cut backstage...

Where The Big Show is walking past the camera... AND WE SEE EDGE LYING ON THE CONCRETE BEHIND HIM! The fans boo loudly as everyone knows that Show has attacked Edge, some road agents circle around him and check on him as we fade to a commercial break.


{Commercials}​

The arena is silent for a few seconds until...

*LONGHORN...*​

WHAT? The fans respond with huge heat as the familiar limo drives out from the side of the stage and a driver gets out before opening the back door... where John Bradshaw Layfield gets out. Looking rather dapper in his grey suit with his white cowboy hat. The fans give him shit, but doesn’t seem to care as he has a huge grin on his face, he has a microphone in his hand but he doesn’t speak until he steps onto the ramp where he stops.

John Bradshaw Layfield: ... Did you miss me?

This gathers huge heat but JBL just grins...

John Bradshaw Layfield: Of course you did. I could tell... watchin’ RAW and SmackDown... the presence of The Wrestling God was sorely missed.

Another batch of heat as JBL is standing in front of the ring now...

John Bradshaw Layfield: Over the past month... I’ve sat in my penthouse and watched SmackDown... and after every episode... by distaste for it grew every time.

Heat...

John Bradshaw Layfield: And I’ll tell you people why... because the commentary is god awful.

More heat as JBL begins walking around the ring...

John Bradshaw Layfield: I’m not talking about Jim Ross... I’m talking about those to inept idiots that sit next to him... Matt Striker and Todd Grisham.

JBL reaches the announce table and stands in front of it...

John Bradshaw Layfield: I am here tonight to announce my return to the WWE...

Huge heat...

John Bradshaw Layfield: From this moment on... I... John Bradshaw Layfield... will save SmackDown from horrendous commentary... I am the new SmackDown colour commentator.

Another batch of heat while JBL stares at the three announcers...

John Bradshaw Layfield: The Wrestling God... is now The Announcing God... so everyone... rise and applaud the saviour of commentary.

JBL walks around the ring and waits for the three men to stand up, eventually they do and they shake hands as he takes his seat.

Michael Cole: Well... uh... welcome I guess.

John Bradshaw Layfield: Thank you, Michael... I remember when you and I were announcing partners...

Michael Cole: Yeah, we did we-

John Bradshaw Layfield: But now I’ve got a hella’ upgrade on you. So... tonight I’ll save RAW and on Friday... I’ll save SmackDown.

‘I HEAR VOICES...’

*VOICES...*

The fans nearly take the roof off the arena as the WWE Champion, Randy Orton walks out with the title belt laying on his shoulder. He looks very focused,as The Viper ignores the boos and walks down the ramp.

Michael Cole: I can’t wait for this match, I know it results in a draft pick, but I hope John Cena teaches him a lesson after what Orton done last night and earlier on tonight.

King: I agree with you there, Michael, what he done last night was awful and earlier on tonight was just as bad. He is the worst man to have as the leading champion on your brand.

John Bradshaw Layfield: Are you too kiddin’ me? Are you two thick? What Orton done last night was magnificent... he was sendin’ a message... sendin’ a message to the whole McMahon family and to everyone in that back. And that message was to keep out of his way... mark my words... Orton will be WWE Champion for a long time.

Jim Ross: While I don’t agree with Orton’s methods, I can’t argue with how successful Orton has been at getting to the McMahon’s, I haven’t seen anyone do that since Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Orton climbs into the ring, and walks over to the turnbuckle, he stands up and simply stands, surveying the crowd before dropping down.

*MY TIME IS NOW...*​

The World Heavyweight Champion, John Cena jogs out from the back to a huge cheer from his hometown crowd. He’s got the World Title wrapped around his waist and his blue shirt on, he looks down at Orton before surveying the crowd, he salutes before sprinting down the ramp.

Jim Ross: John Cena is a man who is all about hustle, loyalty and respect.

John Bradshaw Layfield: John Cena was the one that ended my record long WWE Championship reign all the way back in two thousand and five, we’ve crossed paths more than once, but I won’t deny that he is a hell of a competitor, a great champion but tonight he has his hands full with one of the most dangerous men in the WWE.

Michael Cole: Last night, John Cena defeated Edge to retain his championship and just one night after, he faces a broken up Randy Orton.

King: Remember this results in a draft pick, ladies and gentleman.

Cena slides into the ring and goes to stand up and bounce off the ropes, but Orton is right in his face, the two men stare off and Orton then holds up his championship but then Cena does the same with his, we get a far away view of the two biggest Superstars in the WWE, the two World Champions facing off. The referee breaks them apart and takes their titles before calling for the bell.

Champion vs. Champion; Singles Match; One Draft Pick On The Line
WWE Champion Randy Orton vs. World Heavyweight Champion John Cena


We join this match a good distance into it, and both men are hurting like hell but it’s Orton in control as he has Cena sat on the top rope. Orton climbs to the second and levels Cena with a couple of right hands until Cena grab Orton by the stomach and launches him to the side and Orton tumbles to the mat below! Cena doesn’t waste any time, he climbs down from the turnbuckle before sliding out of the ring and picking up Orton. He grabs him by the neck and slams his face into the barricade! Cena is then handed a drink by one of his hometown fans and he proceeds to dowse it all over Orton’s head!

The World Heavyweight Champion then decides to pick his opponent up and slide him into the ring. Cena follows quickly but Orton is on his feet and catches Cena with a boot to the gut and proceeds to Irish-whip him and connects with an elbow to the face! The WWE Champion stares down at him and then proceeds to stomp on every body part, going around his body before walking off and then suddenly diving to the mat, preparing for his finisher... Cena gets up... RKO... no Cena pushes Orton off and runs him over to the ropes, throwing him over the top!

Cena follows quickly but Orton stands up and hits him with a stiff European Uppercut before Irish-whipping him into the steel steps! The Viper leaves Cena and rolls into the ring, telling the referee to count. The referee reaches a count of nine before Cena manages to roll himself into the ring. Orton measures Cena and runs forward and kicks him in the gut before sinking into the cover... 1... 2... NO! Cena kicks out to a huge pop, while Orton looks at the referee before grabbing Cena and pulling him to his feet but he fights back with a couple of punches to the stomach before setting off running and hitting a shoulder block! He hits another and goes for another but this time Orton ducks and Cena flies forward and hits the referee!

Cena looks at the ref before turning around and Orton goes for an RKO but Cena throws him off... he hits the ropes and rebounds into Cena... ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT... it connects! Cover......... There isn’t a referee! Cena wonders what he needs to do, he crawls to the referee and tries to wake him, a good time has passed before Cena gives up and then spots another referee sprinting down the ramp. Cena then dives to another cover... 1... 2... NO! Orton kicks out! Cena pounds the mat in frustration and then asks the referee why he didn’t come out sooner. He then picks Orton up and Irish-whips him into the corner, he sprints at him but Orton side steps the splash and then rolls Cena up from behind... 1... 2... NO!

Both men get up at the same time and Cena swings wildly at Orton’s head but The Viper ducks and connects with his signature back breaker! Orton looks around the arena before diving to the mat and pounding it, preparing for his finisher again... Cena gets up... RKO... no Cena throws Orton off again and he rebounds off the ropes... right into the ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT... NO... as Cena launches Orton... The Viper wraps his arms around Cena’s neck and connects with a innovative RKO! Cover... 1... 2... 3!


Winner: Randy Orton @ 15.32
RAW Gets One Draft Pick


The fans react with boos as John Cena loses in his hometown, and Orton manages to get to his feet, using the ropes for support before being handed his WWE Championship.

John Bradshaw Layfield: I told you all about how good Randy Orton is, he beat the other World Champion in the best match of the night.

Michael Cole: And that means RAW gets the last draft pick of the evening!

Jim Ross: Well... let’s not waste any time.

King: Please be someone big.

Orton turns to face the stage as the last pick of the evening is about to be revealed...

Re: Calum Presents: WWE 2009 - The Fear That's In Your Eyes

I love a good draft show, I'll feedback differently on this. First I'll feedback on the content of the show and then the picks to either brand. Right let's do this!​

1. Right way to go here with Orton starting off the show. What he had to say was spot on, the boss appearing was a nice surprise and I liked the back and forth these two had. Jesus Punt to McMahon! Orton is such a badass, really strong opening segment.

2. Huge main event for next week! Can't wait for that one.

3. Love the Judgement Day promo, thought it needed a point of it's own. (Y)

4. Nice diva's bit in the back there, should be intriguing for both titles on one brand. Main talking point is the Punk vs. Kane match. It shows how violent this feud has gone with the attack before the match. And after the match to, Kane has always been a freak but this is new for him. Really eerie Kane.

5. To be honest, I wasn't big on the Edge/Show/Vickie segment. Nothing against you but the feud doesn't really get my attention. However the Spear on Vickie definitely boiled things a little, it's also interesting that Vickie and Show are in a relationship of sorts.

6. I liked the backstage bits, a good tag division always helps. And the Cena/Hardy dynamic was nice talking over Jeff. I sense a feud between the two over the gold sooner rather than later.

7. Koslov/Lashley brawl was nice, giving Koslov the upper hand was needed. This feud is built on just brutality so I don't expect 20 minute promos for these two.

8. Show knocks out Edge, bit of revenge from before. It works well.

9. Love that JBL is back to save commentary, he and J.R should make for a fantastic announce team!

10. Loved the ending! After a nice match we get Taker. Finally we have someone who can take down Legacy.

Now for my thoughts on your drafts.

I thought you evened out the brands very well here, obviously Undertaker is the biggest pick of the night and heads straight after Orton. I think MVP and Mr Kennedy are strong editions to the midcard and The Colons to the tag division. With both diva belts on one show is gonna' be something to watch out for.

On the SD side of things they gained a few great picks. Definitely all upper midcard talent, on a show where I thought more midcard guys were needed. Morrison and Kofi are nice additions along with Kane in his psychotic state of mind. My personal favourites are Jericho and Ziggler though, Jericho can go into a feud with anyone there and make them look good. Ziggler at this point wasn't at his best but I think he's gonna thrive over there. I sense a US title run definitely.

Overall I thought this was your strongest Raw yet. Thought you started off some great new feuds with Orton/Taker and have changed the dynamic for your shows. Looking forward to SD bro <3...

Re: Calum Presents: WWE 2009 - The Fear That's In Your Eyes

Raw Feedback​

I liked the foundation of this Orton interview. The whole four year thing as well as Trips’ family were a good base to go from. However, the execution was off entirely. Orton really does need to improve as far as promos go. He’s the main man on this show, the main man in the company right now and he needs to come across as deserving of that. A lot of it was quite repetitive. A lot of moments, beginnings, ends, four years throughout and it kinda seemed like it was going nowhere.
Once Vince came out this segment was a lot better. Unlike Orton you had Vince’s character up to a pretty good standard, all the usual trademarks in there and the whole not firing because he wants to inflict pain is a good route to go. Ending just goes to show why Orton is the man right now. Brutal stuff and I can’t help but think this isn’t the last we see of Orton and the McMahon’s down the line.
I commented on it at Backlash but again here, Flair just doesn’t sound too much like Flair. I get that it was quite a serious moment and whatever else but I just couldn’t picture him saying it.

Pretty solid match first up but I think it was one that Jericho and Miz were always gonna walk out victorious in. Miz getting the win was pleasing too, helps keep his momentum building, something Jericho doesn’t particularly need.

Carlito and Primo as the first draft picks? Not a bad choice. Thought you may go for a bigger name but it’s not a bad choice and they should add very nicely to the tag ranks on Raw.

Shane vs Orton next week should be a hell of a battle. Shane in a Street Fight or No Holds Barred environment always shined.

Raw wins again! Big win for Beth and the right call much like the match earlier on tonight. Next draft pick is…Maryse! You planted the seeds last night with Beth and Maryse so I’m glad you followed up on that. Unification imminent and I look forward to when it does come, it’s the smart thing to do.

KENNEDY!! Love the pick here and glad to see KK back from injury. He’s a great character to write for and hopefully he gets a decent storyline on the red brand. Pick of the night so far.

Wow, strong words from Maryse here, loved it. Her basically calling Beth ugly had me laughing although Maryse is sexy as hell so everybody’s probably ugly to her.

Punk ambushing Kane was a good decision to make after what went down at Backlash. Match itself was decent for what it got and the DQ ending wasn’t a bad way to finish although I’m very intrigued by the aftermath with Kane. I’m guessing this is gonna lead to his remasking but for now I await answers.

Edge was actually pretty good here, a vast improvement from anything I’ve seen you write him before.
It kind of dragged a little towards the end but the first bit was strong. I guess he is now officially face and although I’m not that keen on him and Vickie/Show feuding but it will at least cement his turn. Edge spearing Vickie shocked me but I guess it was purely an accident, would’ve no doubt got a HUGE pop that’s for sure lol. Solid segment to get this feud up and firing, good job.

Made sense for TBK and Zeke to win here, building their momentum after last night’s title win. Cryme Tyme didn’t come out of it looking any worse either so good booking here.

Ziggler to Smackdown, wise pick indeed. Chance for him to go out and really shine. A mid card title run would no doubt do wonders for him.

Wow, JoMo also? Smackdown getting some strong mid card/upper card talent and these guys are no doubt gonna make the match side of Smackdown really tick.

Hardy and Cena exchange was decent here, testing the waters perhaps. I’d be all for a feud between the two but I think the hint about Jeff suggests otherwise. The Hardy/Long segment that followed this didn’t really serve any purpose however, would’ve left that alone or until Smackdown.

Good way to build up the tag ranks here. Colons getting some promo time is a good thing and pleased to see McIntyre and McGuiness get some time on their own rather than simply with Regal. A lot of teams building up here and Legacy are still very much at the forefront you would have to believe.

Nice win for Lashley here and the pick for Smackdown was HUGE. Y2J heading over to Friday nights is massive for the brand and I can’t wait to see what you do with him. I anticipated him or Miz heading out of Raw so pleased to see I was correct. Jericho/Cena would certainly be a good read.

Really can’t be bothered seeing Kozlov and Lashley keep feuding but this was a nice little continuation for it and gives Kozlov a little retribution after last night.

Jericho interview was ok, a little bit more work on his character could be done but it’s not too far off. Him already getting Cena in his sights was definitely the statement to make.

Good bit of tension shown here between Cena and Edge. No doubting they’ll never be the best of friends but you displayed the respect between them nicely as well as Edge’s title aspirations. A lot of options now on SD in the title scene, Cena, Edge, Show, Jericho, Matt, Jeff, certainly exciting times ahead.

Big win for Mysterio to build on last night. Expected Regal to show his face but not to be. Next Raw pick…MVP!! Big pick there and with him and Kennedy on Monday nights it’ll be a fresh kind of feel around the upper mid card.

Ah here is Mr.Regal. Decent enough interaction between he and Flair, number one contenders match should be a gooden next week.

Very tame exchange between Legacy here. There was nothing really to it and Ted and Cody said almost the same things with the ‘basically’. No real drama or intensity to it, they kinda just told him and he said alright lol. Would’ve made it seem a much bigger deal.

Battle Royal would’ve been a lot of fun I’m sure and those three men left standing were good calls. I’d almost forgotten about Christian to be honest so pleased to see him shine a little here.

Draft picks were very strong again and Smackdown’s mid card is really taking shape now. Kofi’s another guy like Ziggler and Morrison who should now get a real shot at thriving on Friday nights while Kane is an interesting one. He could possibly be thrust into the main event whilst also helping the young guys so it’s a smart pick. Plus, the whole demon inside storyline should be captivating.

Nice continuation of Edge/Show here, very simple but effective booking.

JBL is back!! Can’t wait, loved the Wrestling God. His promo here wasn’t all that, could’ve built the suspense a little more or emphasised it a touch more, capital letters or something but I’m just glad he’s back.

Massive main event and I really didn’t expect it to end with a winner so I was a little surprised it did. If it was gonna have a winner, it had to be Orton so that was at least the right call. Big win to continue solidifying him and the last draft pick is…

THE DEADMAN!! HUGE pick here and one that to be honest, Raw needed. With Tista gone, Trips gone and Michaels gone right now there really did appear to be nobody left for Orton to fend off but Taker is gonna provide that challenge and a whole lot more. Hell of a feud this should be and a great, exciting way to end things.

On the whole it was a decent showing here. I think the matches were all fairly solid and the draft picks were all very promising. You should be able to really make your mark with this now, creating your own feuds and own stars. Smackdown already looks to have a really fresh feel about it while Orton/Taker should be great. Only major negative would be the promos. Still need a lot of work, particularly Flair and Orton, however there are signs of improvement for a fair few of the other guys such as Edge and Cena. Keep it up sir.

NEWS AND NOTES​

Rosa Mendes
Santino Marella​

As you can see, the bulk of the supplemental draft was with the Divas and we have noticed a pattern as the women who can go in the ring have been moved to RAW, and the Divas who are considered more as eye-candy and that aren’t great in the ring have been drafted to SmackDown. This may be because RAW is going to be where the women battle each other for the championship and SmackDown Divas will be used more as valets.

Re: Calum Presents: WWE 2009 - The Fear That's In Your Eyes

JAM's Review
Awesome, awesome opening segment. I like how the draft took a backseat to Orton there in the beginning, showing just how much Orton has done to deserve this. Good history lesson you gave us with the whole Evolution thing, I just knew this would be incorporated somehow. Orton was just sick in this promo even threatening the future McMahons in the family. Vince was good as usual, I could imagine that vein popping out during this promo. But man, punting Vince...already?! Wasn't sure this was gonna happen this soon but I guess it's all a way for that certain someone Vince said he told to make Orton's life a living hell. Opening segment = AWESOME!

Draft specials are always entertaining so I expect this one to be a cracker. Tag team match between these two would've been entertaining and the end result was good as well with Miz taking the pin. Pretty cool that you had the Colons as the first draft pick, they should definitely inject some energy in your tag team division.

Street fight with Shane? Shane's always been pretty unpredictable in the ring which gets him a lot of cheers but I'm not sure this really works in Shane's favor. Orton has Legacy to back him up whatever happens so I'm sure Shane has enlisted some help.

Divas match warrants TWO DRAFT PICKS? Likin' it. Divas champion gets drafted to RAW? Unification match, book it. I know you're high on Maryse so I'm interested to see how you book her moving forward. MR. KENNEDYYYYYYYYYY! Really liked this guy in his WWE run, it's a shame that he was released. But him making his home on RAW will be great, good chance for him to shine. DAT JUDGMENT DAY VIDEO PACKAGE! Brilliant! Oh shiiiit, Maryse making her mark on RAW already, having some words with Mickie and Beth. Definitely likin' your divas division. Interesting to see that you gave the Punk/Kane match a video package. Again, that shows the importance of this matchup. Match was good but we get another Kane incident, bringing back the mask too?

Edge's promo was really good imo. It started a bit slow for sure but it picked up in the later half when Vickie and Show interrupted. That line about the ten course meal was hilarious :lmao Poor Vickie being speared. Now I guess Vickie will be playing the sympathy card. I see Edge's life on Smackdown being rather rough now that he speared Vickie, I'm sure there are consequences waiting to happen. But yeah, not too much to say about this other than goodjob of continuing this. Not really a fan of Big Show so not even Edge's awesomeness will make me a fan of this feud.

You're making a fan out of me on the duo of Brian Kendrick and Ezekiel Jackson. Didn't think they were much of a fit as a tag team but when I read what you have for them, they seem to go good together. Looks like you're definitely building Smackdown as more of the wrestling oriented show which isn't bad. Ziggler and Morrison are good pickups. They're good in the ring and they'll definitely be given a chance to shine. Let's see what you do with them. I loved this exchange between Cena and Matt. You wrote Cena well here but I was more impressed with Matt. He seemed like a strange dude from the get-go asking Cena if he saw what he did to his own brother, that was great.

The tag team division is looking really good, I don't know who to cheer for! Legacy, Nigel and Drew, Colons, three really good tag teams there. And you can't forget about Cryme Tyme! Tag division is really heating up, continue doing good with this division man. Chris Jericho gets drafted?! But what about his partnership with Miz? Hmm...interesting. I guess Miz has learned enough from Jericho so it'll be fun to see where Miz goes from here. But Jericho on Smackdown is definitely big, he's a bonafide superstar and you can place him anywhere on the card.

Jericho's always been a good talker so this was a good promo. I guess I got the explanation about him and Miz, so that was good. Looks like Cena may get a few enemies by the time draft night is over for Smackdown. Edge/Cena exchange was good, pretty standard stuff. That was a good last line from Edge too since I believe Edge has some experience with Orton as they used to tag together. MVP to Smackdown, yeah, he's thrived there so it's a good spot for him to be in. He should help out the midcard just fine and maybe even a main event push, just have him heel maybe.

Kofi Kingston and Kane huh? Kofi should help fill out the midcard as well but Kane? Didn't expect this since Punk is on RAW. But I guess Kane will come back better than ever on the blue brand. It was just a matter of time before Show got to Edge and well, I wouldn't mess with Edge either. He's a clever dude and pretty maniacal.

WOOOO! JBL and JR as a commentary team? Dream team right there. You've made Smackdown the winners this draft night despite it not even being over yet. Cena/Orton was always going to be a good match but what was important came at the end. Looks like we know who Orton's opponent will be and man, what a person to pick to represent the McMahon family, UNDERTAKER! Was a good moment for sure. Him laying out both the WWE and World Heavyweight Champion just screams volumes of how big of a star the Undertaker is. I remember you saying that it was weird seeing 'Taker's name in red and I agree, he's always been a Smackdown guy. But hell, this should work out great!

Overall, I'd say your draft show was a success. RAW got some good stars to fill out it's roster with the big one being Undertaker. While I think Smackdown won this draft with the additions they got from it, definitely getting more opponents for Cena to work with. Plus giving us a dream commentary team of JBL and JR,woooo! Don't know which show I'll like more now which is a good thing. Onto the next show buddy! (Y)

Re: Calum Presents: WWE 2009 - The Fear That's In Your Eyes

WWE Superstars
7th May 2009
Baltimore, Maryland - 1st Mariner Arena

Match One – Singles
Jack Swagger def. Christian @ 11.55
The inaugural episode of WWE Superstars kicks off with a huge inter brand match as two former rivals from their ECW days go toe to toe. The match lasts for a good while, the momentum shifting back and forth, both men putting on a show for the fans. But it comes to an end after an exciting ten minutes, when Christian climbs to the top rope and looks for a diving head butt, however Swagger rolls out the way and Captain Charisma smacks the canvas. Swagger tries to take advantage but Christian ducks a clothesline and looks for the Killswitch, but Swagger counters, throwing Christian into the ropes before kicking him in the gut and planting him with his Gutwrench Powerbomb for the win!

And now it’s time for the RAW Rebound where we kick of the night with the first draft pick of the evening, The Colons who get drafted to RAW. We then run through the rest of them, giving special focus to Mr. Kennedy, Maryse who were drafted to RAW and Chris Jericho and Dolph Ziggler who were drafted to SmackDown. We finish the package with a look at the main event where Randy Orton and John Cena compete, with the end result being a win for Orton after countering an Attitude Adjustment with an RKO. After the match ends, we now see the final draft pick of the evening, the lights go out and The Undertaker is revealed as the newest RAW Superstar.

---

We now get a brief promo from Legacy members Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase as they walk down to the ring, where Jimmy Yang and Kung Fu Naki are waiting. Rhodes and DiBiase joke that if this is the calibre of teams they have to face before getting a shot at the World Tag Team Championships then they will walk the division. They refer to the fact that their father are Hall of Famers and how they are going to continue their Legacy by winning those championships and helping Randy Orton to keep the WWE Championship and if that means destroying the legend of The Undertaker then so be it.

Match Two – Tag
Legacy def. Jimmy Yang & Kung Fu Naki @ 3.26
Yeah, Jimmy Yang and Kung Fu Naki never stood a chance as the men they face men who are part of the hottest and most dangerous stable in the WWE. Rhodes and DiBiase take turns dissecting the opposite team, and the ending came only a couple of minutes in when they decided it was enough and finished it off with DiBiase and Rhodes hitting their finishers onto Kung Fu Naki and Yang respectively.

We now head backstage where SmackDown interviewer, Tiffany is waiting with a beaming smile on her face. She welcomes her guest, but it’s not from SmackDown, instead the man is from RAW as CM Punk is welcomed to her interview area. She begins the interview by asking Punk about how he feels about the draft and how he feels about facing Chris Jericho tonight. He answers by saying that after Kane was drafted, he doesn’t need to worry about a crazed demon anymore. Punk then continues by saying that facing Chris Jericho tonight in the main event of the first episode if a huge thing, but everyone will remember this night with me holding my briefcase high in the air after a victory. Punk continues by telling everyone that after tonight, he is focusing on one thing, and that is when he cashes in this briefcase, which he holds up. However, the segment isn’t done as the man who we saw earlier in the night, Jack Swagger walks into the shot, Tiffany says that they are in the middle of an interview but he tells her to scram. Swagger then says that Punk doesn’t deserve to hold the briefcase, and that he isn’t the champion that the WWE needs, whereas he is, and the quickest way for him to win a World Title is too hold that briefcase. Punk questions Swagger’s championship credentials sarcastically but Swagger doesn’t enjoy that, he tells Punk that he’ll be watching his match tonight and soon he’ll be coming for the briefcase.

Match Three – Singles
John Morrison def. Santino Marella w/ Rosa Mendes @ 5.24
This match gives us some light hearted comedy as Marella tries to copy Morrison’s entrance by jumping over the top rope but his legs get caught on the top and he falls flat on his face. The theme of comedy continues through the match as Marella tries to one up Morrison at every opportunity at athleticism but fails miserably, but Rosa still continues to cheer Santino on. It doesn’t end well though as Morrison picks up some steam and defeats him with Starship Pain.

---

Before the final match of the evening, we get a preview of Judgment Day with the official promo for it.

Main Event – Singles
Chris Jericho vs. CM Punk @ 16.47
The first episode of Superstars ends with a huge main event, a match that was simply put, a classic. These two men went all out to put a show on the fans, momentum shifting between them many times, each Superstar hitting their signature moves, even Jericho brought out some of his old high flying arsenal has he suicide dived out of the ring at one point. The match though ends finally when CM Punk locks in the Anaconda Vice, but Jericho manages to get to the ropes Punk then climbs to the rope and dives off looking for a cross body but Jericho connects with the Codebreaker from out of nowhere and picks up the victory. After the bell, we get a quick glimpse of Jack Swagger watching backstage with a smile on his face, but we quickly cut back to the ring where Jericho gets to his feet and has his hand raised. He shouts that it’s time to go for the World Title now before leaving the ring and walking up the ramp. Punk climbs to his feet, using the ropes for leverage and looks up at Jericho who turns round and nods at Punk, looking rather smug as we end the evening with Jericho standing tall.

***

WWE Backstage Fallout​
(During And After WWE Superstars)​
We’re backstage where John Morrison grabs a bottle of water from the table, he turns around and gets a shock as the camera is right there before him. We hear a voice from behind the camera telling him that he had a great win out there and asking him his thoughts about winning on the first episode of WWE Superstars. He replies by saying that it felt great to get the win, and now that he’s on SmackDown it’s time to kick on and get his hands on some gold. The guy behind the camera says that he laughed a lot during the match at Santino’s antics and asks Morrison if he felt like laughing at any point, Morrison tells him that he did and says Santino is a very funny guy, and obviously isn’t as athletic as him.

We cut away into another part of the arena where Captain Charisma, Christian is leaning on a wall, holding his back after the Gutwrench Powerbomb by Swagger. He groans but stands up, waiting to be asked questions by the man behind the camera. The man says that it must be tough to lose on the first episode but says the two of them put on a hell of a performance and you have to give Swagger credit. Christian puts over Swagger’s performance by saying he’s a very talented guy and the two of them put on a great match but on the night Swagger was simply the better guy. The man behind the camera then wonders if Christian will be alright with SmackDown tomorrow night, he replies by saying he will be and he has a huge Peep Show scheduled with Kane, he pats the guy on the shoulder (we assume) and walks off, saying bye to the man we now identify as Scott.

Now, Scott, is frantically jogging to catch up with someone and it is none other than Chris Jericho. Scott asks Jericho his thoughts on defeating CM Punk tonight but Jericho doesn’t really care, he simply says that he is the better Superstar out of the two and it was obvious he was going to win, but now he’s focusing on one thing, and that is the World Heavyweight Champion. Scott tries to ask one more question but The Best in the World simply walks away.

WWE FRIDAY NIGHT SMACKDOWN - 8th May, 2009
Baltimore, Maryland - 1st Mariner Arena


On Monday night, we witnessed a historic draft, where the landscape of the WWE was changed forever. SmackDown lost The Undertaker but they gained a former World Heavyweight Champion and the first ever WWE Undisputed Champion, that man’s name is Chris Jericho. Tonight, Chris Jericho will address the SmackDown audience as he will kick of the show, he requested this time to speak his mind, the question is though – what will Jericho have to say?

Another man who will get his chance to speak his mind is The Rated R Superstar, Edge as he will talk to the audience in the ring after being attacked by The Big Show backstage, during RAW. Edge is never one to hold his words back, as we saw on RAW when he verbally humiliated Vickie Guerrero before accidently hitting her with a Spear which was meant for Show.

Tonight marks the return of one of the most talked about Interview Shows in history as Captain Charisma, Christian hosts The Peep Show. It’s the first time we’ve seen this segment since he returned to the WWE, and his guest? One of the draftees to SmackDown, The Big Red Monster Kane, one can only imagine why Christian wants to interview the man who has ran riot on RAW for the past few weeks.

On this episode of SmackDown, we have heard that Theodore Long, the SmackDown General Manager has an announcement to make regarding the WWE United States Championship. We can only presume this will be regarding a possible match for the title, or perhaps a number one contenders match, to find out you’ll have to tune in.

Only one match has been announced for this show and this was announced last week when Theodore Long booked an Extreme Rules match between Curt Hawkins & Zack Ryder and The Lifeblood of Extreme, Stevie Richards and Tommy Dreamer.

All these Superstars will be making an appearance but do not forget you’ll also see the World Heavyweight Champion, John Cena, Matt Hardy, Kofi Kingston and many more.

CONFIRMED FOR SMACKDOWN:

Chris Jericho Opens The Show
Edge Addresses His Attack On Raw
The Peep Show Returns With Kane As The Special Guest
Theodore Long Has Announcement Regarding the WWE United States Title

Extreme Rules - The Lifeblood of Extreme vs. Curt Hawkins & Zack Ryder

Re: Calum Presents: WWE 2009 - The Fear That's In Your Eyes

I'll give my thoughts on the whole show on it's own due to it being in result format. A strong start to the show with Swagger and Christian, nice to see Jack coming out on top. Second match was academic, no way Naki/Yang were getting the win. Nice bit of comedy with Santino and Jomo definitely giving us a breather for the big main event. And as seen in real life these two can put on a great match, think Jericho needed the win with moving to a new brand where he is obviously going to be in the main event picture.

I like the backstage fallout very much, think it helps bring people into the character, will it just be used for Superstars though or on the main shows? either way it's a nice addition (y)

Smackdown looks a good'un mate, definitely intrigued for the Peep Show with Kane and with Y2J no doubt going to be staking his claim for the World Title. It looks boss' mate ;)

“Maybe you aren’t as good as you think you are...”.


WWE FRIDAY NIGHT SMACKDOWN – 8th May, 2009
Baltimore, Maryland – 1st Mariner Arena

‘Shaken’

SmackDown begins with a recap of what went down on the special edition of Monday Night RAW, and then we see the opening video which now has the new Superstars included such as John Morrison and Chris Jericho.

We now enter the arena where the screaming fans let us know they are there before a huge pyrotechnic display sounds off. After a few seconds, we now cut to the announce table where Jim Ross and John Bradshaw Layfield are waiting.


Jim Ross: Welcome ladies and gentleman to Friday Night SmackDown! My name is Jim Ross, good ol’ J.R and joining me tonight is my new co-announcer... John Bradshaw Layfield.

JBL: Thank you, J.R, and like I said on RAW – I’m here to save you and these people from terrible colour commentary. We’ve got a hell of a show lined up, the newest stars drafted from RAW will make their presence known and I can’t wait!

Jim Ross: Neither can I partner, tonight we hear from The Rated R Superstar, Edge after his announcement on RAW that he is now divorced, and then attacked backstage by none other than Vickie Guerrero’s newest boyfriend The Big Show.

JBL: Vickie gets around doesn’t she? But yes, t’night we hear from Edge, the former World Heavyweight Champion but that’s not all... in a move that I don’t like one bit... Christian returns with The Peep Show t’night... and his guest... Kane.

Jim Ross: Kane has ran rampant on RAW for the past month but now he’s on SmackDown, something I’m not thrilled about but I am interested to see what Christian has to say. But let’s stop with the talking... let’s get this show on the road.

We cut to the ring where Justin Roberts is standing...

Justin Roberts: Please welcome... the newest Superstar on Friday Night SmackDown... Chris Jericho!

‘BREAK THE WALLS DOWN...’

*BREAK THE WALLS DOWN...*​

The crowd respond with a huge amount of heat as The Best In The World, Chris Jericho walks out from behind the curtain. He doesn’t look happy as he trudges on down the ramp, wearing a very nice suit.

Jim Ross: It looks like we are going to hear from Chris Jericho pretty early tonight, I enjoy Jericho’s in-ring work but it’s his mouth that annoys me.

JBL: Hey! Chris Jericho is one of the greatest Superstars to grace a WWE ring, he was the first ever WWE Undisputed Champion... defeatin’ The Rock and your buddy... Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Jim Ross: Like I said... I’m not denying Jericho’s in-ring ability.

JBL: Jericho is widely considered to be one of the best talkers in the WWE, you might not like his attitude but what do you expect when these people boo him... I for one... am lookin’ forward to hearin’ what Chris has to say.

Jim Ross: Judging by these fans... you’re the only one.

JBL: These fans are idiots.

Jericho climbs up the steel steps before climbing into the ring and looking around the arena. He’s got a microphone in his hand and begins to speak.

Chris Jericho: I was under the impression... that the SmackDown fans would be different.

The crowd don’t know how to respond...

Chris Jericho: I was under the impression that you people... you hypocrites would show me the respect that I... deserve.

This gets a ton of heat from the crowd...

Chris Jericho: But I was wrong... you people are just as bad... if not worse. But I’m not surprised by this at all.

Jericho pauses...

Chris Jericho: This past year... I have been vilified by the RAW fans... I’ve been disrespected by them... they attempted to ruin my career... and you people are doing the exact same.

Huge heat from the crowd...

Chris Jericho: You are doing the same with your hypocritical... idiotic views.

Jericho shakes his head at the crowd who respond with a ‘you suck’ chant...

Chris Jericho: You people... you try to squeeze the life out of me... like a parasite. But you people don’t affect me anymore... I stopped pandering to you a long time ago.

Jericho rubs his chin...

Chris Jericho: My name is Chris Jericho... I am the Best In The World At What I Do. I was the first ever WWE Undisputed Championship... you people show me some respect.

More boos...

Chris Jericho: I defeated The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin to win that championship... one after the other... on the same night. I am a future WWE Hall of Famer... I am the best that this company... and the world has to offer. I’ve had a storied career, I’ve been in the ring with Legends... I’ve beat those Legends... but I’m not done.

Jericho turns towards the stage...

Chris Jericho: A few months ago... I held the World Heavyweight Championship... but my reign was ended prematurely by the current champion... John Cena.

The crowd respond with a huge cheer for the mention of Cena but Jericho just shakes his head at him...

Chris Jericho: Something that I don’t think you hypocrites realize... John Cena and I... we go back a long way... you see... he has been the bane of my career for years... he took my World Heavyweight Championship away from me... and even was the catalyst for me being fired all those years ago.

Huge pop for that...

Chris Jericho: You people and John Cena are exactly the same... you both try to ruin my career but I came back stronger and stopped caring about you parasites... and became World Heavyweight Champion.

More heat...

Chris Jericho: But now, I want my championship back... so John Cena I want you to come out here and accept my challenge... right now. Right now!

The whole arena turns to face the stage, expecting the music of the World champion to hit any minute, but a good few seconds pass by and we still don’t hear the sound of Cena’s music.

Chris Jericho: Cena... I know you-

*HUNT YOU DOWN...*​

It’s not John Cena... instead the music of Matt Hardy hits and he walks out from behind the curtain, wearing a ‘Hardy’ t-shirt and jeans, he walks down the ramp, not bothering to acknowledge the booing fans all around him.

Jim Ross: Matt Hardy? This isn’t John Cena, I don’t think Jericho will be happy about this.

JBL: Matt Hardy is obviously out here for one reason, it’s the World Heavyweight Championship, no doubt – he feels that Jericho shouldn’t get a shot and he should, because of what he done at Backlash.

Jim Ross: I didn’t see anything that makes me think he should get a shot at John Cena.

JBL: Take the tinted glasses off, J.R, Matt Hardy defeated one of the biggest stars in the WWE, he defeated his brother in a TLC match. Matt does deserve a shot after the way he dispatched his brother.

The commentators continue to bicker as Matthew climbs up the steel steps, picking up a microphone and then stepping into the ring; standing a few feet away from Jericho.

Matt Hardy: Listen to me... and listen carefully.

Jericho cocks his head...

Matt Hardy: I don’t care... I don’t care that you were the first ever Undisputed Champion. I don’t care if you think you are a future Hall of Famer, an’ I don’t care if you think you are the next in line for a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship.

Jericho keeps his gaze on Matt who paces the ring...

Matt Hardy: You’re not... I AM!

Matt turns to face Jericho, looking very intense while Chris simply smirks...

Matt Hardy: Somethin’ funny?

Chris Jericho: As a matter of fact... yeah... let me guess... you think just because you beat your brother you get a shot? Listen, I’ve beat your screw up of a brother more times than I can count, beating up that hack isn’t going to make you number one contender.

If looks could kill...

Matt Hardy: It’s not that I beat him... it’s the way that I beat him... I destroyed him... I Pulverised him! And now... I want what I deserve... I want MY shot at the World Title.

Jericho continues his stare...

Matt Hardy: I’ve waited too long... too long for a shot. I’ve been in Jeff’s shadow for all of my career, that stopped at WrestleMania... an’ now I’m free of him. I’ve been held back for far too long... I want my shot... an’ I want it now an’ you... aren’t gonna’ get in my way.

Matt takes a step towards Jericho who holds his ground, they stare at each other, neither moving until...

*MY TIME IS NOW...*

The two men stop there stare off and turn to face the stage where the World Heavyweight Champion, John Cena walks out, getting a huge pop from the fans. Something is wrong however, this isn’t the jovial Cena that we all know, he doesn’t salute or anything, he simply walks down to the ring.

Jim Ross: Right there is the man that is the centre of attention right now, he is the World Heavyweight Champion and he has two men in the ring that wants his blood.

JBL: Comes with the territory... bein’ WWE Champion means you are a wanted man... you have a target on your back and everyone in the back, not just Hardy and Jericho, want that title.

Cena slides into the ring, brushes past Hardy before glancing at Jericho and then being handed a microphone.

John Cena: After what happened on Monday... on RAW... I ain’t in any mood to mess around t’night. So... I’ll start with you, Jericho... since you were here first.

Cena turns to face Jericho...

John Cena: Yeah... I did end your reign as champion... I also got you fired in two thousand and five. Do you deserve a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship... after takin’ The Miz under your wing... winning at Backlash and then on RAW... possibly you do.

The camera catches Matt saying ‘no he doesn’t’ while Jericho keeps his gaze on Cena...

John Cena: I’ll give you one thing though... you’re right when you say you are one of the greatest ever... but you are also one of the most hated men to step foot in this ring, and I’ll tell you why... because you feel the need to come out here... each and every week... and tell these people how good you are. Quite frankly... you need to just shut up and show why you are one of the best.

Chris Jericho: Y’see... John... I need to do that because these idiot fans don’t know greatness when they see it.

Huge heat...

John Cena: You did show why you are one of the best at Backlash and then RAW... so like I said... shut that mouth and continue to show and then maybe Teddy Long will grant you a title match.

Cena then turns to face Matt...

John Cena: And you... and I come to you... what can I say? I’ve watched you the past few weeks... watched what you’ve done to your brother Jeff... watched you turn your back on all the Hardy Boyz fans... and watched you do some damn right awful stuff.

Cena shakes his head...

John Cena: You think that puts you on the map, huh? You think beatin’ your brother to a pulp makes you a huge star, a World title contender.

Matt Hardy: Yeah, I do... did you see-

John Cena: Wait... I ain’t done. You come out here, and demand World title opportunities... you come out here and say nobody respects you... how you’ve been held back... how you’ve been in your brother’s shadow.

Cena pauses...

John Cena: Well lemme’ drop some truth on you... you wanna’ know why you’ve been cast in your brothers shadow... it’s simply because your brother is better... than... you.

Matt looks extremely pissed off as the fans cheer...

John Cena: You beat him last Sunday... I’ll give you credit for that... but beatin’ your family to a bloody pulp doesn’t make you a Superstar in my eyes.

Pop...

John Cena: Y’see... while I don’t like him... I respect Chris Jericho... because of what he’s achieved in the WWE, I don’t agree with his methods but you can’t argue that he is one of the best.

No response from Jericho who looks emotionless...

John Cena: But you... you think everything is owed to you. I’ve worked for this title... I worked to be called the World Heavyweight Champion... I’m just a young kid that became a Superstar... I won my first WWE Championship at my second WrestleMania... beating JBL who knows just how hard I took it to him.

Cena glances at Layfield...

John Cena: I don’t need to attack people from behind... I simply come out here each and every week to entertain these fans... I put my body on the line... I’ve spilled blood for these people. You? The difference is that you come out here and spill blood, like at Backlash... but you do it for yourself.

Cena takes his hat off and holds it at his side...

John Cena: The difference between you and your brother... he that he can connect with these fans... he can get them to rise to their feet and welcome him to the ring... with you... they groan when they hear your music hit. You’ve been in the WWE for years... and you’ve not once held a the WWE or World Heavyweight Championship... you blame the guys in the back... you blame everyone but yourself... but maybe you should take a long hard look in the mirror... maybe you just aren’t as good as you think you are.

Snap! Matt walks forward and the two men go face to face until Jericho interrupts...

Chris Jericho: Hey! You two continue your little argument once you... Cena... once you accept my challenge.

John Cena: You know me, Chris... this goes for both of you... you want some... COME... GET SOME!

*MACMILITANT*​

The entrance of the SmackDown GM is met with hardly any reaction; the buzz kill has certainly arrived as Theodore Long makes his way onto the stage.

Theodore Long: Hold up a second now... playas’.

All three men turn to face T-LO...

Theodore Long: Now... you two fellas in the ring... you make good points... but we ARE NOT havin’ a World Title match here t’night.

This gets a lot of heat...

Theodore Long: Instead... I will make a match...

Here it comes...

Theodore Long: It will be a tag team match! The team of Matt Hardy... and Chris Jericho will face... the World Heavyweight Champion... John Cena and a partner of his choosing. But wait, playas... that ain’t all... if Matt and Chris win... they will both get a shot at the World Title in a triple threat match... at Judgment Day. But... if John Cena’s team wins... his partner will get a one on one opportunity at that very pay-per-view!

Pop...

Theodore Long: Now do you feel me... playas! Holla holla!

*MACMILITANT*​

Long’s music hits while the fans continue watching the three men in the ring, Matt and Jericho glance at each other before both staring at Cena who simply holds his ground.

Jim Ross: What a blockbuster main event! The World Heavyweight Champion, with a partner of his choosing will take on the team of Chris Jericho and Matt Hardy! And what about those stipulations, JBL?

JBL: The stipulations make this match a whole lot more interesting, J.R, we know that Jericho and Hardy don’t get a long, but they’ll have to work together if they want to get shots at John Cena’s championship.

Jim Ross: I do wonder now, who Cena will choose as his partner, this match is coming up in our main event slot, and I can’t wait for it.

JBL: If Cena has any sense, he will pick someone who he knows he can defeat in one on one competition, that way if his team does win, he knows he can retain his championship. He has to think smartly at this, if he wants to keep that title, he needs to think before he acts.

Jim Ross: Well, that’s still to come ladies and gentleman, but after the commercial break, The Lifeblood of Extreme take on Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder... in a Extreme Rules match!

We now cut to a commercial, with a parting shot of the three men standing in the ring.

{Commercials}​

We head right back into the arena where...

*IN THE MIDDLE OF IT NOW...*​

The fans respond with some good heat, as the team of Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder walk out from behind the curtain. Despite being in a match they’ve never competed in, the duo look pretty confident as they walk down the ramp.

Jim Ross: This is the first match of the evening ladies and gentleman, and what a way to kick things off with an Extreme Rules match! This match came about as a result of Hawkins and Ryder attempting to make a statement, they attacked Tommy Dreamer and Stevie Richards, prompting our General Manager to make this match tonight.

JBL: I have no idea what Teddy Long is playin’ at... Hawkins and Ryder shouldn’t be competin’ in this match against two has-beens who could never cut it at the top level.

Jim Ross: They brought this on their selves after they attacked Dreamer and Richards.

JBL: Hawkins and Ryder were makin’ a statement, Dreamer and Richards were signed by Long because he felt there wasn’t enough good tag teams on Smackdown... look at those two... they’re young... former tag team champions... they shouldn’t play second fiddle to a couple of wannabee WWE Superstars.

Hawkins and Ryder reach the ring, the duo slide into it and taunt the fans before waiting for their opponents.

*MAN IN THE BOX...*​

The arena responds with a little bit of a pop but nothing major as Tommy Dreamer and Stevie Richards, The Lifeblood of Extreme make their way out to the stage, we see Dreamer is wheeling out a trolley which has various weapons in it, including chairs and kendo sticks.

Jim Ross: It looks like Dreamer and Richards are bringing their own weapons.

JBL: The fact that these two own their own weapons just goes to show that these two bingo hall stuntmen shouldn’t be in the WWE. They should be some gym performing in front of twenty people, not ten thousand!

Jim Ross: JBL, you have to respect what Dreamer, Richards and the other ECW originals done for this business and for the WWE?

JBL: For the WWE? What the hell have those guys done, besides get themselves fired or no-show events, bringin’ ECW back was a mistake on Mr. McMahons part, and he realized that when he took it off the air.

Dreamer and Richards begin walking down the ramp, but then Ryder and Hawkins exit the ring and start running at the two, the referee calls for the bell.

Match One: Extreme Rules Tornado Tag; WWE Tag Team Championship #1 Contenders
The Lifeblood of Extreme vs. Curt Hawkins & Zack Ryder


We join this contest with Tommy Dreamer pulling a table out from underneath the ring to a huge cheer, while his partner, Stevie Richards is stomping on Curt Hawkins in the corner of the ring, and his partner is knocked out on the mat. Tommy slides the table into the ring, he slides in after it and set it up, the two tag team partners then pull Hawkins to his feet, and they go for a double suplex through the table but Ryder slides back into the ring he clobbers Richards from behind and throws him out of the ring! Ryder and Dreamer then pair off with each man trading blows but Ryder knees him in the gut and then throws Dreamer into the ring post through the turnbuckle!

Ryder pulls Dreamer out and throws him to the ground, looking for the win... 1... 2... NO! Richards got back in the ring and managed to break the count. Hawkins now gets back to his feet and attacks Richards from behind while Dreamer rolls out of the ring, Curt slams Richards to the mat with a huge back body drop and then tells Ryder to get something from ringside. Ryder walks over to the announcers table, bypassing it and walking to the timekeeper and demanding two chairs. He throws them into the ring, he slides in and wedges one in inbetween the top turnbuckle and the middle one. He picks Richards up while Hawkins watches, Irish-whips him but Richards reverses and Ryder runs straight into the wedged steel chair!

Stevie turns around and ducks a chair from Hawkins, kicks him in the gut and then DDT’s him on the chair which fell to the mat! He turns him over and covers, 1... 2... NO! Ryder returns, diving on top of them. Ryder pulls the chair out of the turnbuckle, and turns around and levels Stevie in the back with the chair! Richards gets back to his feet, and Ryder runs forward, looking for a shot to the head, but h ducks and Ryder smashes the top rope... and the chair rebounds onto his own head! He staggers around the ring but then Richards rolls up Ryder looking for the win... 1... 2... HAWKINS BREAKS IT UP!

Hawkins slams Richards to the ground with a body slam before picking up the two steel chairs, he places one on the ground and puts Richards head on it, and he lifts the other one above his head, looking for a con-chair-to but Dreamer re-enters the ring with a Kendo stick! Hawkins sees him and the two of them trade blows to each others side! Shot after shot until Hawkins backs away dropping the chair, and Dreamer grabs him, and DDT’s him on the steel chair! Ryder isn’t around, cover... 1... 2... 3!


Winner: The Lifeblood of Extreme @ 13.18

A very hard thought victory for the Extremists as the referee calls for the bell, Richards slides into the ring and joins Dreamer, helping him, both are feeling the pain but they put smiles on for the crowd, while Hawkins rolls himself out of the ring, Ryder is still down on the other side of the ring.

Jim Ross: A very good match, and a very good win for Dreamer and Richards, who now get a shot at the WWE Tag Team Championships!

JBL: It’s disgustin’, the fact these two hooligans get a shot at WWE gold, I don’t call that a good match, I call that a disgustin’ example of how extreme the ECW Originals can get, it isn’t wrestling.

Jim Ross: You may feel that way, but a lot of people in the back like what the ECW Originals done for the business, and these fans love these two and now they get a shot the WWE Tag Team Champions.

Dreamer and Richards head to separate corners to celebrate but we don’t stay with them instead we cut backstage where the WWE Tag Team Champions, The Brian Kendrick and Ezekiel Jackson are watching on a television screen. They watch as their future opponents celebrate, the duo watching on very intently as we head to a commercial.

{Commercials}​

SmackDown returns, but we are not in the main arena, instead we are backstage where the SmackDown General Manager is standing before a camera, looking mighty pleased. A few seconds pass by before Theodore Long speaks to us.

Theodore Long: Alright playas’... listen up... ‘cause I’ve got a huge announcement to make.

This gets a nice reaction from the crowd in the arena...

Theodore Long: At Judgment Day... I’ve decided to create a match for the WWE United States Title. It will be a gauntlet match! R-Truth will defend his WWE United States Championship against six other men in a seven man gauntlet, ya’ that feel that.

Another nice response as Teddy nods at the camera...

Theodore Long: Now... am not just gonna’ pick the competitors... over the course of the comin’ weeks... there will be matches... to determine the Superstars who will compete at Judgment Day... and those matches start right now... holla’ at me... playas’.

This gets a nice cheer as Long smiles at the camera before we cut to the main arena.

Jim Ross: What a match made by our General Manager... R-Truth will defend his championship at Judgment Day-

JBL: Against six other men... if I was R-Truth I’d be havin’ words with our GM, he’s at an extreme disadvantage now.

Jim Ross: Teddy Long said these matches will start right now... so let’s see what we’ve got.

A few seconds pass by before...

‘I’M HERE TO SHOW THE WORLD...’

*HERE TO SHOW THE WORLD...*​

Not much of a reaction for one of the newest SmackDown Superstars, but that doesn’t Dolph Ziggler coming out as cocky as cocky can get.

Jim Ross: And we’re beginning the qualifiers with one of the newest Superstars on SmackDown, Dolph Ziggler, who hasn’t had the best start to his career.

JBL: I’ll tell you why that is – because he continues to try to shake everyone’s hand, I’ve some advice for him, grow some balls and don’t care what other Superstars think, just go out to that ring and beat them in the middle of the ring, none of this shaking hands.

Jim Ross: Ziggler, if he puts his mind to it, can be a huge star in the WWE, but to do that he doesn’t need to abandon the respectful ways that he has been showing.

JBL: Of course he does, what World Champion has showed respect to everybody he faced, I didn’t – John Cena hasn’t. To be a champion you need to be ruthless, just what I was.

Ziggler reaches the ring, walks over to the steps, picking up the microphone that is lying there and heads into the ring.

Dolph Ziggler: I bet you people all expected me to come out here and tell you all who I am, right?

The fans don’t really react but Ziggler shakes his head...

Dolph Ziggler: I don’t need to do that anymore... I shouldn’t need to do that anymore. You should all know who I am.

Again, little reaction...

Dolph Ziggler: Every time I tried to be respectful... every time I tried to introduce myself... y’know what it got me? It got me super kicked... pedigreed... it got me beat up... all the damn time.

Sarcastic cheer for that...

Dolph Ziggler: That just goes to show how everyone in the back is out for themselves. And now... this...

He looks down at his abs...

Dolph Ziggler: This is a new Dolph Ziggler... this move to Smackdown... it marks a new beginnin’.

Ziggler pauses...

Dolph Ziggler: This is the beginnin’ of a new Dolph Ziggler... someone who doesn’t care what anybody else thinks... someone who doesn’t care about anyone else.

Little bit of heat...

Dolph Ziggler: From now on... the only two things I care about are... ME! And forgin’ my legacy in this business.

More heat...

Dolph Ziggler: In just four weeks time... I will be the WWE United States Champion. This moment right here... it marks the start of my career on SmackDown... and it marks the start of my rise to stardom. The first stop... R-Truth’s WWE United States Title.

This gets some heat until...

*HES MA DA...*​

The crowd react with a respectful pop as Ziggler prepares for his opponent, and in due time – Finlay makes his way out from the back. Fit walks down the ramp, smiling at his fans before then focusing on the young upstart in the ring.

Jim Ross: Well... if this is truly the start of Dolph Zigglers rise to the top, you can’t get a much harder start than fighting Finlay.

JBL: Agreed with you there, Finlay and I have crossed paths quite a few times, and let me tell you somethin’... he is a tough son of a bitch.

Finlay jogs up the steel steps before stepping into the ring, he ascends the turnbuckle, holding his trusty weapon in the air before laying it beside the corner and gets ready to start.

Match Two: Singles; WWE United States Championship Gauntlet Qualifier
Dolph Ziggler vs. Finlay


We join this match a few minutes in where Ziggler has the upper hand and plants Finlay with a snap suplex. Ziggler runs the ropes, before connecting with a running knee drop and rolling through. He turns back and covers Finlay... 1... 2... NO! Dolph doesn’t waste any time and picks Finlay up, but the Irishman shows his spirit by elbowing Dolph in the stomach, he then Irish-whips him but Ziggler holds on to the ropes when he rebounds, but Finlay sprints at him and the two of them go tumbling over the top rope after he clotheslined him!

Finlay follows him out, but Ziggler hits a low drop kick to his knee, then he Irish-whips him into the barricade, he follows that up by rolling him into the ring and going for the cover... 1... 2... KICK OUT! Dolph decides to then lock in a sleeper hold, but it doesn’t take long before Finlay battles out and starts to build momentum. He connects with a couple of clotheslines before Irish-whipping Ziggler and plants him with a power slam! Finlay runs off the ropes and hits a jumping splash on Ziggler and going for the cover... 1... 2... NO! Ziggler gets to his feet but he is then hoisted onto Finlay’s shoulders and planted with the Rolling Hills... cover... 1... 2... KICK OUT! Finlay uses the ropes to get to his feet, and Dolph soon joins him, Finlay walks over to him but gets a poke in the eye for his trouble! Finlay stumbles away, but ducks a clothesline from Ziggler, Finlay sets up running and baseball slides through Dolphs legs, but Ziggler seen it coming he turns around quickly... grabs Finlay from behind and connects with The Zigzag! Cover... 1... 2... 3!


Winner: Dolph Ziggler @ 7:24

A big win for the young man as Ziggler has his hand raised by the referee, but he aggressively pulls away from the ref and leads his own celebration by climbing the turnbuckle.

Jim Ross: It seems Dolph wasn’t kidding when he said this is a new start, we saw a different Ziggler here tonight, a Ziggler who just picked up a victory against Finlay.

JBL: Ziggler just got the biggest win of his short career, and now he’s goin’ to Judgment Day to compete for the WWE United States Championship, and I wish him luck – he’s gonna’ need it if he wants to beat six other men.

Jim Ross: On the subject of the other men, we have more qualifiers coming up right after this commercial break, where another new Superstar to SmackDown, Kofi Kingston will face Vladimir Kozlov!

Ziggler finishes his celebrations, then slides out the ring, and backs up the ramp looking rather pleased with his work as we fade to a commercial.

SmackDown returns but we aren’t in the ring, instead we are backstage where Kelly Kelly is frantically walking down a corridor.

Kelly Kelly: Please... just leave me alone!

Kelly continues walking pretty fast before the cameras catch who is following her and it’s... Mike Knox...?

Mike Knox: Wait... I just want to talk!

Kelly continues walking, trying to get away, looking pretty scared until Knox catches up and stops her...

Mike Knox: Listen! I just want to know why you haven’t been returnin’ my calls or texts?

Kelly Kelly: Why do you think!? We broke up years ago... you were abusive... you were mean... you made me feel like crap... you expect me to take you back like that.

Kelly clicks her fingers...

Kelly Kelly: We broke up... we’re over... deal with it.

Kelly starts to walk off but Knox grabs her arm and pulls her back with some force...

Kelly Kelly: Ow! What are you doin’? That hurts, stop it.

Knox gets closer to Kelly looking rather menacing until Evan Bourne shows up, getting a good pop from the crowd...

Evan Bourne: Hey! What the hell are you doin, man?

Knox lets go off Kelly and Evan then stands in front of Kelly...

Mike Knox: This doesn’t concern you... it’s none of your business.

Knox looks at Kelly who is cowering behind Evan...

Mike Knox: Just think about it... I’ll do anythin’ to have you back.

Kelly stays quiet as Knox leaves, Bourne turns to face Kelly...

Evan Bourne: What was that about?

Kelly Kelly: Umm... I’ve been gettin’ messages and calls from him all the time for the last month... I get scared when I’m around him.

Bourne starts talking to Kelly but we don’t stick around as we cut into the ring.

Jim Ross: I got to say, Kelly looked extremely frightened when she was trying to escape from the clutches of Mike Knox.

JBL: Wouldn’t you? Mike Knox is a beast of a man, hell... I’d be a little wary if I was in the ring with him.

Jim Ross: Well... anyway, those two were drafted to SmackDown in the supplemental draft, if you want to see who we and RAW got in the supplemental, then check out wwe.com, but right now we’re going to take you back to RAW... for the RAW Rebound!

And we cut to the RAW Rebound...

***

RAW Rebound
We start the night with the WWE Champion Randy Orton walking down to the ring and cutting a promo before being interrupted by Mr. McMahon. McMahon confronted Orton but it all ended badly as The Viper attacked the chairman and punted him the head.

Later on the night we saw Ric Flair inform Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase that Randy Orton will be in action next week as he will face the last standing McMahon – Shane McMahon. He and Orton will compete in a match which will sure to be a brawl, a blood filled encounter as Shane McMahon attempts to exact revenge on the man who has destroyed his family in a Street Fight.


***​

We’re back in the arena...

*PAIN...*​

The crowd respond with a good chunk of heat as The Moscow Mauler, Vladimir Kozlov walks out from behind the curtain. The brutal Russian ignores the boos and presses on, walking down the ramp, looking extremely pissed off.

Jim Ross: Last Sunday night, we saw Vladimir Kozlov face off against a handpicked opponent, he had been demanding competition and he finally got it when he faced off against Bobby Lashley. But his loss didn’t sit well with him, as he attacked Lashley during Backlash and then on RAW.

JBL: And for good reason, Lashley is a monster of a man but so is Kozlov, his ego is dented and a man who feels embarrassed is a dangerous man. Kozlov has every right to try and get some revenge on Lashley for defeatin’ him at Backlash.

The Russian walks around the ring and climbs up the steps, before entering the ring and climbing the turnbuckle. Kozlov looks around the arena, scowling until he hops down and waits for his opponent.

‘SOS I HEAR ‘DEM SHOUTIN’...’

*SOS...*​

The crowd respond with a pretty big pop as one of the fastest rising Superstars makes his debut on SmackDown; Kofi Kingston makes his way out to the stage and sets off his pyrotechnics before heading on down to the ring.

Jim Ross: This match is a qualifier for the WWE United States Championship match, and it’s a huge match between two of the biggest stars on SmackDown.

JBL: Two of the biggest stars? I can see why with Kozlov but with Kofi? No, he hasn’t done anythin’ which puts him in the upper echelon of stars, wait until he does somethin’ which makes people take notice.

Jim Ross: He does hold a pin fall victory over the current WWE Champion, Randy Orton.

JBL: So? A fluke win isn’t anythin’ to be proud off, winnin’ the U.S Title is the first step for Kofi to make a believer out of me.

Kingston hops onto the apron, then steps into the ring, and climbs the turnbuckle while keeping an eye on Kozlov.

Match Three: Singles; WWE United States Championship Gauntlet Qualifier
Kofi Kingston vs. Vladimir Kozlov


After a fun opening few minutes, we join this match as Kozlov had Kingston in an arm bar. But Kingston manages to get to his feet, and break away from Vladimir, but when he rebounds off the ropes, he runs straight into a Battering Ram! Kozlov drops down, looking for the win... 1... 2... NO! Kozlov wastes no time, he drags Kingston to his feet and Irish-whips him into the corner, he follows that up and smashes into him with a huge splash! Kingston stumbles out, but Kozlov kicks him in the gut and plants him with a Suplex! He then goes for another cover... 1... 2... KICK OUT!

Kozlov picks Kingston up again, and again – sends him on his way with an Irish-whip but when Kofi hits the ropes, he grabs onto them, stopping himself from rebounding. Kozlov sprints at him, but Kofi throws up an elbow, connecting with Kozlov’s head, Kozlov staggers back and Kofi sprints towards him, and jumps up, and connects with a running hurricarana! Kozlov quickly gets up, and tries to get his surroundings, he sprints at Kingston but he is tripped with a drop-toe-hold. Kingston gets set up, and connects with the Boom Drop!

Kingston doesn’t go for the cover, instead he gets to his feet and high steps around the ring, he gets set in the corner and waits for Kozlov to get to his feet. Kingston sprints forward and goes for Trouble In Paradise... but Kozlov hits another Battering Ram, this time in mid-air to Kingston’s chest! Kozlov roars out in frustration and decides it’s time to end it and waits for Kingston to get up but...


*UNSTOPPABLE*​

A huge pop goes up as Bobby Lashley walks out onto the stage, and Kozlov turns to him looking pissed. Bobby starts walking down the ramp in jeans and a Lashley tee, he stops and tells Kozlov to turn around... and he does so... right into Trouble In Paradise! Cover... 1... 2... 3!

Winner: Kofi Kingston @ 6.15

The fans are cheering like crazy as Kingston rolls quickly out of the ring and stumbles past Lashley who stands on the mat, staring at Kozlov who pounds the mat in frustration.

Jim Ross: Has Kingston convinced you yet?

JBL: Hell no, did you see that – he stole the match with a helpin’ hand from Lashley. Kozlov was ‘bout to finish Kingston off until that meat head got involved and cost him the match!

Jim Ross: Be that as it may, this isn’t over between Lashley and Kozlov... not by a long shot. Expect these two bulls to cross paths once more.

JBL: That will be a great match when it happens, but until it does happen – Lashley needs to keep his nose out of Kozlov’s business!

Jim Ross: Did you see Kozlov attack Lashley on RAW? Well... anyway, this victory means Kingston has qualified for the Gauntlet, so that’s Dolph Ziggler and Kofi in the match, taking on R-Truth and four other men, we’ll see who the other four are later on.

Kingston is on the stage holding his arm in the air while Lashley is stood in the middle of the ramp, looking pleased with himself, but Kozlov is far from pleased as he kicks the bottom rope.

We now cut away from the ring and go backstage where Chris Jericho and Matt Hardy are deep in conversation.


Chris Jericho: We need to work together... we need to get on the same page. If we don’t... neither of us will get a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship, whoever Cena’s partner is will.

Matt rubs his chin...

Matt Hardy: I shouldn’t even be doin’ this... did you see what I did to Jeff on Sunday? I deserve a one on one singles match for the title, not a possible triple threat match. Hell... you shouldn’t even be gettin’ a shot... it should be me... you haven’t done anythin’ yet.

Jericho gets pissed at that comment...

Chris Jericho: Are you serious? Where have you been, my name is Chris Jericho... The Best In The World... I am a multiple time former World and WWE Champion, the first ever WWE Undisputed Champion, and you say I’ve not done anything?

Jericho pauses...

Chris Jericho: But either way... thinking logically here – we need to get on the same page. It’s either we get our shot in a triple threat match or we don’ t get a shot at all. Tonight... we beat Cena and his partner... we then take him out at Judgment Day leaving just us in the ring. And we see who is deserves that title.

Matt Hardy: Fine... but just remember... after we deal with Cena... I’m dealin’ with you.

Matt then brushes past Jericho as Y2J watches on before we fade away to a commercial break.

{Commercials}​

SmackDown returns and we aren’t in the ring, instead we are in the Divas locker room where Kelly Kelly has just entered and Candice Michelle is sitting on a bench, which is in between two sets of lockers.

Candice Michelle: Hey, Kelly.

Kelly Kelly: Hey... enjoyin’ SmackDown so far?

Michelle smirks...

Candice Michelle: It’s alright I suppose... hey... I saw you earlier talkin’ to Evan Bourne... anythin’ goin’ on there?

Kelly turns to face Candice from her locker...

Kelly Kelly: Nah... we’re goin’ out for a drink later... but only as friends.

Candice Michelle: ... Sure...

Candice smirks as Kelly turns to her locker, she inserts her key and twists it, before opening it and inside is a bouquet of flowers...

Candice Michelle: Is that who I think it’s from...

Kelly sits down on the bench, looking rather horrified...

Candice Michelle: What’s wrong?

Kelly Kelly: It isn’t...

Kelly then throws the flowers to the ground...

Kelly Kelly: Why the hell won’t he leave me alone?

Candice Michelle: Who?

Kelly Kelly: Mike Knox... everywhere I go he’s there... following me around the arena... sending me gifts to my house and now flowers!

Candice puts her arm around Kelly and gives her a reassuring hug as we fade back into the arena.

Jim Ross: This is getting damn right creepy, whatever Knox has in store for Kelly it can’t be good.

JBL: Amen to that, Knox is a beast of a man like I said before.

‘YOU THINK YOU KNOW...’

*METALINGUS...*​

A huge pop greets the arrival of the former World Heavyweight Champion as The Rated R Superstar, Edge walks onto the stage, amongst the smoke. With his customary shades and Rated R tee, he walks down the ramp, pausing to check out some signs on his way.

Jim Ross: Last Monday night on RAW ladies and gentleman, we witnessed Edge accidently Spear his ex-wife Vickie Guerrero and-

JBL: Accidently? C’mon J.R, Edge knew what he was doin’.

Jim Ross: Only he knows if that is true, JBL, but anyway – after that we found Edge backstage, knocked out and The Big Show was walking away from Edge’s body. That tells us one thing...

JBL: That Big Show attacked Edge and knocked him out?

Jim Ross: Exactly.

JBL: Like a pair of detectives.

The Rated R Superstar jogs up the steel steps, wipes his feet before climbing into the squared circle and being handed a microphone from the timekeeper.

Edge: Y’know... last Monday night... on RAW... despite losing my World Heavyweight Championship match at Backlash... I was in a pretty good mood. Jovial... you could say.

Edge pauses, taking his shades off...

Edge: But that all came to a halt... when my ex-wife... Vickie Guerrero decided to interrupt me and come down to the ring.

Heat...

Edge: She decided to come out, interrupt me solely to tell me that her new boyfriend is goin’ to make my life hell... well I hate to say it Vickie – but in a few weeks time, Show will realize you are makin’ his life hell.

Edge pauses...

Edge: Y’see... listenin’ to that voice day in and day out, it takes a toll on you... believe me.

Edge smirks to himself...

Edge: But... I digress... she came out and we had to listen to that nails on a blackboard voice as she whined and complained about how I embarrassed her... and how my career would be dead without her.

Huge heat...

Edge: I know right... pretty stupid thing to say. But then, Vickie tried to get some measure of revenge against me... she set her four hundred pound dog... boyfriend, dog whatever... on me. That didn’t work well too well... just like at Backlash when she done it... it ended in the same way... someone got a Speared!

Huge pop while Edge smiles...

Edge: Now... I’ll admit it was an accident... but I gotta’ say... I’d be lyin’ if I say I didn’t enjoy it. It was a hell of a lot more enjoyable than the other kind of spearin’ if y’know what I’m sayin’.

Edge turns to the camera...

Edge: Good luck, Show.

He turns back to the crowd...

Edge: Now... the thing that I want to talk about... is what happened after that. Y’see... I was backstage... mindin’ my own business when I was attacked from behind and then knocked out.

Boo...

Edge: By none other than her dog... The Big Show.

More heat...

Edge: Hey... I’ll give the guy credit... he did manage to knock me out... third time lucky right. I know Vickie isn’t here t’night... so I want Show to come down to this ring and we can deal with this little problem without her.

Edge turns to the stage and suddenly...

‘WELLLLL...’

*CRANK IT UP...*​

And right on cue, without Vickie Guerrero, The Big Show walks out from behind the curtain. He stares down at Edge, before heading on down the ramp.

Jim Ross: Business is just about to pick up, folks.

JBL: I really don’t know if this is a smart move by Edge, he’s already been knocked out once this week, it could happen again here t’night.

Edge wait as Show climbs onto the apron and then steps over the top rope, before being handed a microphone from the timekeeper and standing a couple of feet away from Edge.

Big Show: You deserved everything you got on RAW.

Straight to the point...

Edge: Before I get to the punch... what I want to know is... are you freakin’ insane?

Show mouths ‘what?’...

Edge: Goin’ out with Vickie Guerrero... you must be hella’ desperate.

Show grinds his teeth...

Big Show: No... I am not insane... I am not crazy... and I am surely not desperate. I actually enjoy Vickie’s company.

Edge smirks to himself...

Edge: Really, with that voice?

Show shakes his head...

Big Show: Will you stop goin’ on about her voice... okay I’ll admit... it can get a little annoying at sometimes... but I can look past that... because we are in love.

Edge nearly gags...

Big Show: She is the best thing to happen to me... with her my career will only go up.

Edge: Well it can’t get any worse.

Burn...

Big Show: See... that’s your problem. Joke this... joke that... you tell too many jokes. I don’t think you realize you are in the ring with the most dangerous Superstar on SmackDown... I don’t think you realize you are in the ring with The World’s Largest Athlete.

Edge: Like I said on RAW... athlete is a bit of a stretch.

Show rubs his forehead...

Big Show: Stop it with the jokes. On RAW you speared my girlfriend... that was the worst thing you coulda’ done, because now you are on my radar... and after knockin’ you out on RAW... I have no problem doin’ it again.

Edge: You may have knocked me out, but it took you three tries to do it, and remember a few weeks ago... I knocked you out to become number one contender for the World Heavyweight Championship.

That pisses Show off...

Big Show: You think that’s funny!? I want you one on one... I’m gonna’ knock out you out either now or when I get you one on one... so choose. Now... or Judgment Day... when do I knock you out?!

Edge: Well... first of all... I’ll tell you what... I’ll face you at Judgment Day... one on one.

Little pop...

Edge: On one condition... Vickie Guerrero’s SmackDown contract is on the line.

Huge pop...

Big Show: What?! No... why the hell would I do that?

Edge smiles...

Edge: Because I have a video of you and Vickie... y’see... I went to a local bar a few nights ago... and it was karo-

Big Show: Alright alright! On behalf of Vickie, I’ll put her contract on the line, but it won’t matter because I’m going to knock you out.

Show turns to leave... but then turns back around... GOING FOR THE KNOCK OUT PUNCH... AND KNOCKS EDGE OUT ONCE AGAIN! The crowd boo the shit out of Show as he stands above The Rated R Superstar.

Jim Ross: Damn it, Edge never saw it coming.

JBL: Always keep your wits about you in that ring.

Jim Ross: This won’t sit well with Edge, but we now know another match for Judgment Day... The Big Show will take on Edge with Vickie Guerrero’s SmackDown contract on the line!

JBL: Vickie will not like this one bit, I imagine she’ll be havin’ words with Edge.

Show backs away from Edge as we fade away...

{Commercials}​

SmackDown returns and we are with the lovely Tiffany who is waiting with a microphone in her hand...

Tiffany: Please welcome my guest... the WWE United States Champion... R-Truth!

A solid pop rises from the arena as R-Truth walks into the shot...

Tiffany: And R-Truth, firstly... what are your feelings towards the current Gauntlet match where you’ll defend your WWE United States Championship.

Truth thinks for a moment...

R-Truth: I said when I won this title... that I would take on all comers. But I didn’t expect my first pay-per-view defence to be against six... count ‘em... six other Superstars.

Tiffany: So you’re... not happy about it?

Truth shakes his head...

R-Truth: Am I happy? I could come here and say I am, that I am happy to defend my title against six other men... but no... I’m not gonna’ lie...I could say I’m thrilled to be defendin’ my title but I’m not.

Tiffany: What do you think of the two men already involved in the match, Dolph Ziggler and Kofi Kingston?

Again, R-Truth thinks before he speaks...

R-Truth: I don’t know a lot about these guys, I mean they were just drafted but they need to know somethin’ about me... I may not like defendin’ my title against six men but I’m gonna’ do it because I became U.S Champion for a reason, and I’m not about to let it go this soon.

And with that, the interview is over as Tiffany thanks Truth for his time as he walks off, we then throw it into the main arena where...

‘OOOHHH CHAVO’

*CHAVITO ARDIENTE...*​

It’s a lacklustre reaction but it’s a reaction nonetheless as The Mexican Warrior, Chavo Guerrero saunters onto the stage, looking extremely smug. Guerrero looks around the arena before pointing to himself and telling everyone he is the next United States Champion.

Jim Ross: Chavo Guerrero has the chance tonight to get back on track, it’s been a rough few months for him but if he can pick up a victory tonight then he has every chance at becoming WWE United States Champion.

JBL: This man is a former WWE Tag Team Champion with his late great uncle, who I crossed paths with many times, a great man but it’s up to Chavo to show he is just as good as Eddie was. Chavo needs to turn up t’night and put on a show.

The Mexican Warrior climbs up the steel steps, stops for a second and then steps into the ring before climbing the turnbuckle. Chavo surveys the arena, looking around before dropping down and waiting for his opponent.

*BORN TO WIN...*​

The crowd respond with a solid cheer as Evan Bourne jogs out from behind the curtain. Evan, who had an encounter with Mike Knox earlier tonight, and has an encounter with Kelly waiting him later looks extremely pleased to be in action tonight. Bourne starts to jog down the ramp, and slaps some fans hands on his way.

Jim Ross: Evan Bourne is one of the most exciting prospects in the WWE, a high flyer who has no regard for his own safety, he will do anything to win.

JBL: And when he does that, he sometimes screws up and costs himself matches because of his high flying style.

Bourne slides into the ring, climbs the turnbuckle, holds up the peace sign before dropping down and preparing to fight.

Match Four: Singles; WWE United States Title Gauntlet Qualifier
Chavo Guerrero vs. Evan Bourne


We join this match as Chavo Guerrero is sat on the top turnbuckle, but then Evan Bourne climbs up to join him, and suddenly connects with a Hurracarana from the top rope! Bourne climbs back up and goes for the Shooting Star Press... but Guerrero rolls away... but Bourne lands on his feet! Guerrero sees his chance, he grabs him from behind and rolls him up... 1... 2... NO! Both men get up at the same time, and Guerrero knees Bourne in the gut. Chavo jogs to the ropes, and springboards off the second rope, grabbing Evan on his way down and connecting with a Twisting Tornado DDT! Guerrero sinks down into the cover... 1... 2... NO! Guerrero gets to his feet and pulls Bourne up with him, he then connects with The Three Amigos before heading up to the top turnbuckle, and looks for the Frog Splash but Bourne rolls out the way.

Both Superstars get up fairly quickly and Evan connects with a huge Rolling Salivate before running forward and hitting Chavo with his Mayorana! Evan climbs to the top rope, and Chavo gets to his feet but is put right back down after Bourne connects with a diving double knee to Guerrero’s shoulders! Bourne throws up the peace sign to the crowd before climbing to the top again, and this time he goes for Shooting Star Press... and it connects... cover... 1... 2...3!


Winner: Evan Bourne @ 6.58

The fans respond with a cheer as the referee calls for the bell and Bourne uses the ropes to get to his feet. He has his hand raised before standing on the second rope and celebrating his win.

Jim Ross: We now know the fourth member of the WWE United States Gauntlet match at Judgment Day.

JBL: R-Truth has his hands full with all of these men, each one has their own qualities and all of them will be looking to take the U.S Championship.

Bourne drops down to the mat and stops in his tracks as Chavo Guerrero has gotten to his feet. Guerrero and Bourne stare off until Chavo extends his hand! The crowd don’t know how to react as does Bourne, however after a few seconds – Evan grabs Chavo’s hand the two men shake hands! The fans cheer this as Chavo seems to have turned a new leaf. He leaves the ring and allows Bourne to celebrate again.

Jim Ross: Tremendous show of respect from Chavo, a great ending to a great match and now Bourne will have his eyes set on the WWE United States Championship.

We now fade backstage where the World Heavyweight Champion, John Cena is speaking with The Bella Twins, Brie and Nikki Bella.

Brie Bella: Yeah... so... like have you found a partner yet?

John Cena: Oh yes... and it’s gonna’ shock everybody.

Brie and Nikki glance at each other...

Nikki Bella: Ohh... tell us.

Cena shakes his head...

John Cena: Can’t do that... gotta’ keep it a secret until the main event.

Brie Bella: You could whisper it to us...

Nikki Bella: Yeah!

Cena nods and whispers in both divas ears.

Both Bellas: Wow!

Cena smirks...

John Cena: Anyway... I gotta’ go get ready for the match.

The champion now leaves as Brie and Nikki say bye as they watch him go as we fade to black.

{Commercials}​

SmackDown returns and in the ring, The Peep Show has been set up and the fans are eagerly awaiting the arrival of their host.

‘GO...’

*JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES...*​

It’s a good pop as Captain Charisma, Christian make his way onto the stage. The fans cheer him on as Christian surveys the arena before heading on down the ramp, wearing a pair of jeans and a Captain Charisma tee.

Jim Ross: Yes ladies and gentleman, tonight marks the return of The Peep Show and with a very special guest.

JBL: Special is one word to describe Kane, I’d also say crazy, a lunatic... a crazed look. If Christian had any brains he wouldn’t be hosting this interview with Kane.

Jim Ross: I have to agree with you there, Kane has ran riot over RAW for the past month and now because of the draft – we have to contend with him their.

Christian is now in the ring, he picks a microphone up from one of the chairs but doesn’t sit down instead he starts talking.

Christian: Ladies and gentleman... peeps of all ages... it is true... this is THE return of The Peep Show.

Huge pop from the crowd...

Christian: I’ve been back in the WWE for a couple of months now... and I felt it was right... the right time to bring back the biggest and best interview segment in WWE history... The Peep Show... I brought it back for all of my peeps out there.

Another pretty big pop as Christian smirks...

Christian: Now let’s get down to business here. I’ve had some crazy guests on this show... some crazy moments have happened on this... but nobody compares to my next guest. I could tell you about all the stuff that my guest has done this past month... but let’s just take a look.

And cut to the tron...

***

We are now at RAW where Kane is backstage telling everyone that a demon has been awoken inside of him. But then we cut to Backlash where Kane choke slams Punk and then cuts off clumps of Kane’s hair. From there, we see what happened on the last RAW, as Kane attacks Punk but then something stops him and he backs away, letting go of Punk and walking up the ramp.

***​

Back to Christian in the ring...

Christian: The Peep Show returns t’night... with my guest... The Big Red Monster... KANE!

‘BANG...’

*MAN ON FIRE...*​

The arena erupts in a blaze of red as The Big Red Monster; Kane walks out to the stage. The fans boo him as the big man walks down the ramp, looking rather demented.

Jim Ross: I don’t like this, not one bit. I know firsthand how dangerous Kane can be, with him on SmackDown – I really don’t want to guess what he will do next.

JBL: I have to agree with you, J.R, Kane’s been on a roll as of late, he’ lost his matches to Punk but he got the last laugh as he cut Punk’s hair off. This isn’t the greatest idea from Christian.

Kane reaches the ring before pulling himself onto the apron with the top rope. Christian watches as Kane enters the ring and grabs the microphone from the chair.

Christian: First off, Kane... I wanna’ welcome you too The Peep Show...

Christian waits for a response but gets nothing...

Christian: Uh... alright well... lemme’ just say... we’ve crossed paths a couple of times. And let me tell my peeps somethin’... Kane is a crazy son of a bitch. But Kane... I wanted to get you out here... to get to the bottom of somethin’.

Kane stays motionless...

Christian: A lot people in the back... would say I’m insane for doin’ this... a lot of people are tryin’ to avoid you, Kane.

Again, no emotion shown from Kane...

Christian: Ever since WrestleMania... you have been terrorising Superstars on RAW... and now you’re on SmackDown. You’ve been attackin’ anyone and everyone you see... I want to know Kane... what has gone off inside your head which has started this... we all know you were a little mentally unstable before all of this... but now it’s gone to a whole new level.

Christian waits for a response but gets nothing...

Christian: I-

Kane: A demon... a demon has awoken... inside me.

Christian actually smirks but Kane stays emotionless...

Christian: Kane... this isn’t therapy... I’m not out here with a black couch and a note pad... I’m not ‘bout to believe a so-called demon has been awoken as you put it.

Christian pauses...

Christian: There isn’t a demon inside of you... it’s just your sick mind that’s makin’ you do all of this. You, Kane... seem to get pleasure from inflictin’ pain on others... you’ve done it for years... but this time... this time it feels different.

Kane starts to show some signs of emotion, even talking to himself...

Christian: What?

Kane stops talking and returns to his emotionless state, almost like he has spoken to someone and then ended the conversation...

Christian: Who were you talkin’ to? Is it this so called demon... is it talkin’ to you.

Kane takes offense to Christian’s mocking tone but doesn’t move...

Christian: Is it tellin’ you what to do?

Kane: Yes.

Christian rolls his eyes...

Christian: And what is it sayin?

Kane: It’s telling me... to choke slam you to hell.

Heat from the crowd...

Christian: Firstly... there isn’t a demon inside you... you aren’t possessed and their isn’t a hell.

Christian continues to press the buttons of Kane...

Kane: I am the devil’s favourite play thing.

Again, Christian rolls his eyes...

Christian: The devil doesn’t exist.

Kane: I have seen things... things you couldn’t comprehend. I’ve seen hell... I’ve been to hell... I’ve seen the torment... the dangers... the fire... I’ve seen it all. And the voice in-

Christian: There is no demon inside of you... nothin’ is talkin’ to you... it’s just your mentally unstable mind. Kane... accept it... you are insane and should be admitted to a psych ward.

Kane: The voice in my head... the demon inside of me... it’s tellin’ me to do one thing...

Christian: And what’s that?

Kane suddenly drops the microphone and grabs Christian by the throat and stares into his eyes... before LIFTING HIM UP AND PLANTING HIM WITH A HUGE CHOKE SLAM TO HELL! The crowd respond with a huge amount of heat as Kane stares down at Captain Charisma, sprawled out on the canvas. Kane then goes mental again, attacking the set, smashing the chairs and kicking the ropes.

Jim Ross: Kane has gone absolutely crazy!

JBL: I told everyone that this was a terrible idea! Christian has made a huge mistake, his career could be damn right over now that Kane has him on his radar.

Jim Ross: This isn’t good for Christian, and it isn’t any good for us!

Kane has stopped his tirade and backed away from the ring, the arena is draped in red as The Big Red Monster stands on the stage, staring down at Christian as we fade to a commercial.

{Commercials}​

***

We open up and the first thing we see is a church, it’s night time and we can hear Owl’s hooting, it’s a very creepy atmosphere as we can see candle light shining through some of the windows...

We fade away again, and hear the screams of men and women, we don’t see anything just the darkness...

The video comes back and this time we are in the church, it’s very grim, some of the pews are turned over, candles are lit near the focal point of the church, where coffin lies...

Again, we fade away, but then we come right back and are in a small booth where we see Matt Hardy...

Matt Hardy:
Forgive me father for I have sinned...

Again, we fade away, getting a glimpse of the priest on the other side of the booth...

The video comes back around, the same booth but this time it’s Kane that’s there...

Kane:
Forgive me father for I have sinned...

Fade away for another time...

Fade back and we are back in the small booth this time its Randy Orton...

Randy Orton:
Forgive me father for I have sinned...

We’re now in a dark room, faintly lit by candles again, there is a desk where a man with a shroud sits who we assume is the priest...

We close in on the man, before taking a view of what he is looking at it, it’s photos of Randy Orton, Matt Hardy and Kane...

Priest:
You may have sinned... but He does not forgive...

We cut away again, and we’re in the main room of the church where we begin the video and we’re focused on the coffin...

We close in, and smoke fills the room as the coffin rises and a hand reaches up...

We then see a man sit up and it’s The Undertaker, he slowly faces the camera...

The Undertaker:
Judgment Day... is... coming...

***



***

We return to SmackDown and the arena is in silence until...

‘BREAK THE WALLS DOWN...’

*BREAK THE WALLS DOWN...*​

The self proclaimed Best In The World saunters out onto the stage, the arena tinged in dark blue and white lighting as Chris Jericho makes his presence known. The crowd boo him loudly but he simply shakes his head and heads down the ramp.


Jim Ross: Yes... it’s that time folks... time for the main event. And here is the man who kicked off the show and demanded a shot at the World Heavyweight Champion.

JBL: Jericho is a hell of a competitor, one of the greatest of all time, but if anyone deserves a shot at the title it’s Matt Hardy. I’m not sayin’ Jericho doesn’t deserve one... but recently Hardy has been on a roll... while Jericho has been tryin’ to help the lost cause which is The Miz.

Jim Ross: Well, he teams with Matt Hardy and if they want a shot, they will have to work together and then they will get a shot.

JBL: In a triple threat... that’s not what either wanted... they wanted a singles opportunity. I’m pretty sure John Cena would want a singles match too. Triple threats put the champion at an extreme disadvantage, I should know.

Jericho slowly walks up the steel steps takes a moment to wipe his feet and then steps into the ring. He stands in the centre, looking around the arena, waiting for his tag team partner.

*HUNT YOU DOWN...*​

The fans erupt with a bellow of heat as the arena darkens a little as The Dark One, Matt Hardy comes out from behind the curtain. Matt starts to make his way down the ramp with a new tee, which says “Dark One”. He ignores the fans jibes and keeps his eyes fixed on his opponent.

Jim Ross: I do agree with you JBL, triple threats are never good for anyone as the odds are worse, but if I would just be glad to be get a championship match. And that is what this man has been working for his whole career, I helped sign him and his brother and knew they would both be huge Superstars but the road that Matt has taken to get here is shocking.

JBL: It’s a road that he needed to take, he was gettin’ nowhere with playing to the fans and showin’ no personality whatsoever. Now, Matt is a huge Superstar who is in contention for the biggest title on this brand.

Matt jogs up the steel steps before stepping into the ring, he brushes past Jericho and climbs onto the second rope telling everyone that it is his time.

*MY TIME IS NOW...*​

The arena goes crazy as the familiar music plays and the World Heavyweight Champion, John Cena comes jogging out onto the stage. Cena stops on the top, looks at the camera and says it’s time go to work before sprinting down the ramp and sliding into the ring.

Jim Ross: Here is the man who ended your title reign and someone who proved everyone wrong, including yourself when he won the WWE Championship from you at WrestleMania.

JBL: I’ll admit he did, I underestimated him, I thought he was just another hood rat who thought he was the next big thing, but he proved everyone wrong and continues to do when he comes out here and goes toe to toe with the best.

Jim Ross: Some might say he is the best.

JBL: Being World Heavyweight Champion means you are the best, but he has to deal with a man who believes he is the best and another guy who is hungry for gold.

Cena ignores Hardy and Jericho while he bounces off the ropes and then throws his cap into the crowd. He hands the title to the referee before taking his blue tee off and throwing it in the same direction as the hat. His music dies down and then begins the way to see his partner.

...
...


*NO MORE WORDS...*​

It’s another huge cheer from the crowd as Matt Hardy’s eyes go wide, the man who shouldn’t be here tonight makes his entrance, known as Jeff Hardy. The Charismatic Enigma high steps onto the stage, still feeling the effects of Backlash as the arena is draped in a purple tint, Cena smirks at Matt who continues to stare at his brother.

Jim Ross: What is happening here? Jeff Hardy shouldn’t even be here tonight after the battle and the injuries that he suffered at Backlash.

JBL: Jeff is certainly a fighter but he risks further injury and Theodore Long is at fault here for allowing him to compete despite persistent orders from doctors not to compete.

Jeff climbs up the steel steps, looks out into the crowd, climbs into the ring and makes a beeline for Matt but the referee gets in his way and stops him. Jeff calms down and backs into his corner, he and Cena chat for a moment as do Matt and his partner before we start this match.

Main Event: Tag Team
(If Cena’s team wins then Jeff faces Cena at Judgment Day)
(If Matt and Jericho win then they will face Cena in a triple threat at Judgment Day)
John Cena & Jeff Hardy vs. Chris Jericho & Matt Hardy


We join his match a fair distance in, and Jeff Hardy is in serious trouble as he is in the clutches of Matt Hardy who whips him into his corner. Matt tags in Jericho and the two of them plant Jeff with a double suplex! Jericho dives down onto the cover... 1... 2... NO! Jericho walks over and tags Matt in, he holds Jeff up which allows Matt to slap his brother in the face to huge boos before planting him with a snap DDT! Cover... 1... 2... NO! Jeff kicks out to a huge cheer but then Matt locks in a sleeper hold.

Jeff manages to battle out though, he gets a head of steam and breaks away from Matt, hitting the ropes and connecting with a clothesline, and another, but then Matt knees him in the gut before Irish-whipping him into the corner... but Jeff runs up the turnbuckle... and hits Whisper In The Wind! Both men are now down, and Cena starts to get the crowd involved, getting them cheering and clapping, and... we get the hot tag!

The World Heavyweight Champion comes in, and hits a flying shoulder block to Jericho, and then another, but third time isn’t lucky as he Jericho ducks and Cena smashes into the referee! The referee is down! Matt tries to take advantage, he enters the ring, grabs Cena from behind and runs him into the corner, thrusting him into the ring post between the top and middle turnbuckle! The fans boo this but then Jeff re-enters and takes Matt over the top rope with a clothesline! John pulls himself out of the corner, and stumbles around... into a Codebreaker!

Jericho goes for the cover... but there isn’t a referee! Jericho curses his luck but we suddenly hear a huge thud... and the cameras pick up Jeff Hardy with a steel chair in his hand and Matt Hardy down and out! We get a quick replay of Jeff smashing his brother in the face with the chair! We return from the replay and Jericho has left the ring, he grabs Jeff from behind and rams him into the steel steps! Chris climbs back into the ring, and he spots the referee getting to his feet, and decides he should try for another Codebreaker... Cena gets to his feet and Jericho runs forward... but runs into a knee!

Cena then plants Jericho with his signature spinning sit down powerbomb! Instead of going for the cover, he gets to his feet and hits Jericho with the Five Knuckle Shuffle! The World Champion measures Jericho, who gets to his feet slowly and turns around into Cena’s clutches and is planted by the Attitude Adjustment! Cena sinks into the cover... 1... 2... 3! But wait, Jericho has his foot on the bottom rope... but the referee hasn’t seen it!


Winners: John Cena & Jeff Hardy @ 11.04

Jericho has his foot on the bottom rope but the referee doesn’t see it! He simply helps Cena to his feet and lifts his arm in the air, oblivious to Jericho, who now rolls onto his stomach away from the ropes before getting to his knees and trying to inform the referee. While this is happening, Matt is spark out on the outside still as Jeff rolls into the ring.

JBL: They stole it! The two of them stole it! One with a chair and the other not havin’ the decency to inform the ref that Jericho had his foot on the bottom rope!

Jim Ross: Jericho is absolutely livid, and Matt is completely knocked out! What chaotic way to end SmackDown, and we haven’t seen the end of this.

While Jericho continues to plead his case to the referee, Cena holds his World Heavyweight Championship in the air but then turns into Jeff who stares at the belt. The fans cheer as the two most popular stars on SmackDown face off, as we fade to black.

Re: Calum Presents: WWE 2009 - The Fear That's In Your Eyes

JAM's Review​
The debut episode of WWE Superstars was rather good. It had a good mix of comedy and some great wrestling matches. I'd love to see all those matches written out but I know it's just Superstars so a recap will do. The Backstage Fallout was good too, catching up with the superstars who performed on Superstars. I definitely think you should continue with this because it showcases the talent more and some talent that aren't featured a lot.

Now onto the show. JBL and JR, what a dream team on commentary. But anyways, honestly, the whole exchange between these three guys kept me off-balance. I mean that there were some good parts and there were some not so good parts. I do like the serious attitude that you write Matt with, that was good. Cena sounded a bit heel in this promo if I'm honest, but he redeemed himself when I read the line about Matt and Jericho having to stop their talk and just get in the ring to fight it out, now that's vintage Cena. As for the main event match, it'll surely be an interesting one. No idea who Cena will choose as his partner but you've definitely set something up for the main event. Sub-par opening here man.

Dreamer and Richards getting a shot at your tag team titles? I'm not too sure on this one. While the stipulation of the match was playing to their advantage, I think it would've been a good rub for Hawkins and Ryder to get the win here. But I don't think a heel team vs. heel team would work so I can see why you chose to go with this result.

I liked this promo from Ziggler, you can really build him up the way you want to. It'll be interesting to see how you build him up without Vickie. And a chance at the US Title is definitely the right choice to get Ziggler noticed. Don't think he'll win it yet though but just having him out there will be a good rub on the young superstar. That video package was rather good in my opinion. Been a big fan of The Hart Dynasty mostly because of Tyson Kidd and Natalya but this team can absolutely go in the ring. Sad that WWE broke them up early, stupid move. But now, I expect big things from this team.

Hinting at a possible Bourne/Knox feud because of Kelly? I wouldn't mind that. Both guys are talented in the ring and should be able to put on some good matches. If really given the chance, I know Bourne can produce good things in the ring so I hope this is a stepping stone to a solid push. Not really a fan of this Lashley/Kozlov feud, Kozlov should just go away. But adding Kofi into the Gauntlet Match is a good decision. Nice little segment here with Jericho and Matt. I can see them working together but quickly turning on each other. I wouldn't be surprised to see Matt standing tall at the end of this show.

We get more on this impending feud between Bourne and Knox, it should be a good one. Hmm, wasn't really feeling this Edge/Big Show exchange, maybe it's because I really don't like Big Show. Edge sounded a bit off, you've got the cheesy jokes down but everything else sounded a bit off for me. Kind of a rushed decision for such a big match with Vickie's contract on the line. I'm sure on the next episode, she'll be seething with rage that her contract is on the line. But anyway, not really feelin' this feud at the moment but I still want to see what comes out of this one.

And now Evan gets into the US Title gauntlet match, wooo! I can't really say much about Truth's interview, it was pretty standard. But I'm not really sure how a face non-Little Jimmy R-Truth is like anymore so yeah, can't say much about it. The Cena/Bellas segment wasn't really needed imo but ohwell, onto the main event already!

Peep Show was pretty decent here. I think you did well with writing Christian here, having him bring up the fact that people in the back say he's insane for even having Kane on his show. And well, he was just waiting to get hurt with how unstable Kane is at the moment. Kane and his inner demons huh? I like the character of Kane and you've added something here with him listening to a voice. I know it's not exactly something new to see but it does add to his character.

Main event time, who is Cena's partner......JEFF HARDY?! Okay wow, why didn't I see this one coming? Haha. And wow, I really liked everything that happened here in the main event. Hardy vs. Cena for the title?! But wait, some more controversy, oh man this is gonna be good. All I can say is wow cause there's just no other way for me to explain how much I like the ending. You have a possible Jeff/Cena match but I'm sure the heels will somehow get themselves in the match. Then it might become a four-way which I won't complain about. I'd love to see that.

Overall, the show started out a bit slow but it picked up in the later half. The gauntlet match for the US Title is a good idea, giving exposure to some of the good athletes on the brand plus adding in some veterans on there. I will say that some promos sounded a bit off but then once you started getting deeper in the promo, it worked out great. But yeah, promos aren't my strong points either. The World Heavyweight Title situation really got me, I really liked it a lot. Only good things can come from this. Onto the next show! (Y)

Re: Calum Presents: WWE 2009 - The Fear That's In Your Eyes

Before I give you my thoughts on Smackdown, I just wanna say that Backlash and the Draft were both great reads after I plucked up the courage to read them the second time after my eyes bled so much I passed out the first time.

I thought it would have been best to kick off with one of Smackdown's draft picks and Jericho was by far the biggest so right move here. I liked how he was saying he thought it would be different on Smackdown and he'll still being disrespected - brilliant. I'm glad that Jericho is going for the title, but I did think that the fact that Morrison was drafted to Smackdown as well would continue the feud between them to get Morrison over but I'm not opposed to this so its cool. I'm glad that Hardy interrupted as he is the number one contender in my eyes. It's great to see the evolution of heel Matt as he's now hanging in there with Jericho in promos. Ofcourse Cena was going to come out as well, and I liked what he had to say, but I do think that it is more in tune with his character to just welcome the challenges to his title and Cena's bit ended the way it should of done with the "YOU WANT SOME... COME GET SOME". I actually burst out laughing when Long announced the tag team match :lmao Classic. Really interesting concept for the main event but there is a certain someone that I'm praying won't be Cena's partner. Nice start to the show though.

This would have been a fun match to kick off the show and get the crowd going as I'm sure they would have enjoyed watching Ryder and Hawkins getting battered with a Kendo Stick. It was the right move making the Lifeblood of Extreme (Nice name btw) the #1 contenders considering you have heel champions. This way Hawkins and Ryder are protected by the fact that they were competing in a match type not suited to them. I don't expect Dreamer and Richards to win the titles when they do have their shot but I'm sure they'll put up a decent showing.

Wow that is a huge match for Judgement Day... 7 men? Poor R-Truth, but I'm looking forward to seeing how these qualifying matches turn out.

I liked the promo before the match from Ziggler. As I've commented before this was his break out year on Smackdown. I like the direction you've given him and now I can see how all of the events that have happened to him over the past few weeks on Raw. JR put it perfectly; Finlay is going to be a tough start to this resurgence for Ziggler. Interesting to see Ziggler having to resort to the eye poke in order to win, as it does not fully validate this new start, but to have him included in this match at Judgement Day is a nice move and I will be pulling for him to get the win and the title.

I remember you mentioned something about a stalker being brought up on this show. This was some intense stuff here, I like it.

First off I'll talk about Kofi in regards to this match. I do feel that this is in a way a step down for Kingston after he was talking about going for the WWE Championship when he was on Raw and now he's in the United States Championship picture. I really think that he'd have been a better choice for Cena's partner in the main event. Kozlov takes another big dent as he's now lost two in a row; I know this one was because of Lashley but I think Kozlov needs some more momentum in the build up to Judgement Day or whenever you decide to have these two lock up again. But yeah, I hope just Kofi steals the show in the US Title Match but I think it would be a step down for him at this stage after what he was doing before he got drafted.

I think someone mentioned before that this Edge/Big Show thing isn't going to be the most enjoyable feud but it is necessary. I did like how Edge was making all of the jokes and trying to make light of the situation. I found it a bit weird that Show agreed to the match under that condition that Edge doesn't show a video of karaoke. But he did rebuild some credibility with the KO Punch at the end. This was a bit hit and miss but overall your characterization of Edge as a whole is really good.

Is this the start of a R-Truth heel turn? I'm glad you haven't made him seem like a total douche and actually be happy about it.

This was a fun little match between Bourne and Chavo; all of the matches in this show have been pretty good. Bourne qualifying didn't surprise me but what strikes me is that you have 4 smaller guys in this match now, I'm hoping for a monster to qualify next week, maybe Knox to continue this thing with Bourne?

I liked the fact that you had The Peep Show return and Kane being the guest really intrigued me. I just felt for the entire segment Christian was just being stupid... he should know that you just don't try and take the piss out of Kane, and the Chokeslam at the end was really justified. Kane as a character has been very interesting so far in this thread, and I'm surprised that you drafted him as opposed to continuing his feud with Punk after what happened at Backlash. This is a really ambiguous angle as I'm not sure what Kane's motives are and what has gotten into him but I'm eager to see what The Big Red Machine will do next (Y)

:no: not happy about Jeff being involved... as I said before I think this was a good chance to let Kofi hang around with the big boys on Smackdown or even John Morrison would have been great here given his recent history with Jericho. After Backlash I really do feel like Matt is the one that deserves the shot after beating Jeff twice, but for me the only real saving grace is that Jericho's foot was on the bottom rope. I'm hoping this leads to either a Triple Threat with Cena, Matt and Jeff or a Fatal 4 Way between all four of these guys. I can already picture Jericho walking out next week and bitching and moaning about the referee, which will be really cool to read. I do hope that this doesn't stay at just Cena vs Jeff for Judgement Day but if it does I'm joining the Cenation. Although a very crowd-pleasing end to the show which the young fans would have eaten up.

A good show here dude, nice to see the fall out from both Backlash and the Draft on the Smackdown side of things. I'm sorry if my personal feelings towards Jeff Hardy got in the way of my feedback for the main event :lmao Nice job here buddy and I'm already looking forward to Raw <3

Re: C3K Presents: WWE 2009 - The Fear That's In Your Eyes

WWE Backstage Fallout
During and After WWE SmackDown

Scott and the cameras are backstage where Tommy Dreamer and Stevie Richards are staggering down the hall way. Scott runs up to them, and manages to get them to stop and answer a few questions. He asks how they’re feeling after a brutal match, and they respond by saying they are in a lot of pain but so are Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins. Scott then asks if they’ll be good for the WWE Tag Team Championship next week on SmackDown which they respond by saying they’ll be fine for next week and they’ll make sure extreme continues to run through the WWE when they become WWE Tag Team Champions.

This time, Chavo Guerrero has just picked up a bottle of water from a catering table, and he turns around when Scott calls to him. Scott says he was unlucky tonight but people would really want to know why he extended his hand to Evan Bourne as it isn’t in his nature. Guerrero simply responds by saying Bourne is a top level Superstar and he earned his respect in that match, he was simply giving Bourne his credit.

Again we’re backstage where Layla and Tiffany are standing talking to Theodore Long, but Scott interrupts them which causes Layla and Tiffany to leave. Scott asks Teddy what his thoughts on the show were and if he knew Jeff Hardy would compete despite doctors orders. Teddy says that it was a successful show, and he did not know, but it’s Jeff’s choice and he’s been rewarded with a World Heavyweight Championship match at Judgment Day. Scott presses on by asking what Layla and Tiffany wanted, Teddy tells him that they were wondering what the divas would be doing on SmackDown and he gave them a challenge to find something to do.

Finally, we’re in the parking lot at the end of the show, where Evan Bourne opens his car door and helps Kelly Kelly into the passenger seat, he brings up the peace sign to the camera before getting in his car and driving off. Scott the camera guy then turns around and we see The Big Show walking towards his car, Scott tries to get a word, he walks up to Show but when he starts to ask, pushes the camera away, sending a clear signal he doesn’t want to be asked any questions.

WWE MONDAY NIGHT RAW – 11th May, 2009
Los Angeles, California - Staples Center

A week ago on Monday Night RAW, we witnessed a three hour show which shook the foundation of the WWE, as some huge changes happened when The Undertaker was drafted to RAW. The Deadman set his sights on one man, the WWE Champion, Randy Orton. He appeared after the main event which consisted of John Cena and Randy Orton, and preceded to Choke Slam the World Heavyweight Champion and Tombstone the WWE Champion. The Undertaker has certainly changed the landscape of RAW, and in his first appearance he made his intensions perfectly clear. A week after The Undertaker’s first appearance, this week however – one can only imagine what will happen between Randy Orton and the newest member of the RAW roster.

On the subject of the WWE Champion, Randy Orton, he is in action tonight when he takes on the last standing McMahon in a Street Fight. We found out from Ric Flair last week that Shane McMahon would be at RAW and the two of them would face off in the main event, this is Shane’s chance to exact some revenge on The Viper. But when Orton was informed, he was actually rather calm, creepy one could say as he simply said he was looking forward to ending the last McMahon. Tonight, retribution could be had, but if Orton has his way, he will end the reign of the McMahon’s in the WWE.

In addition to the huge Street Fight, there are more matches to be had which will affect every championships on RAW. Last week, Rey Mysterio defeated R-Truth in a champion versus champion match, and now he’ll face one of the fastest rising stars in the WWE, The Miz. The Miz has been under the tutelage of Chris Jericho, but now he is on his own as Jericho was drafted to SmackDown. Another match that will affect the WWE Intercontinental Championship is the number one contenders match between William Regal and CM Punk. Ric Flair booked this match last week when he had a confrontation with William Regal, and he has chosen CM Punk to be Regal’s opponent.

Another match that has huge ramifications is a tag team match that will affect the World Tag Team Championship picture. The newest team on RAW; The Colons will face off against the ruthless team of Nigel McGuiness and Drew McIntyre. Whoever wins this match will get a shot at Judgment Day, against Cryme Tyme in the hope that they will hope the World Tag Team Championships at the end of the night.

Also tonight, we will witness the debut of a young man that Ric Flair personally signed and has been quoted as saying he could be a future champion in the WWE. His name is TJ Perkins and will face Jack Swagger in his debut match, a match which will be in his home town and no doubt the crowd will be on their feet for him.

Finally, tonight we will have a huge championship match when the WWE Divas Champion, Maryse defends her title against Mickie James in her first match on RAW. A huge match, and no doubt Beth Phoenix will be watching.

Expect appeareances by all of the above and many more, including MVP, Mr. Kennedy and Jack Swagger.

Re: C3K Presents: WWE 2009 - The Fear That's In Your Eyes


WWE MONDAY NIGHT RAW – 11th May, 2009
Los Angeles, California -​
Staples Center

We kick off the evening with a video package of what went down on last week’s RAW, it begins by showing us Randy Orton’s promo that was cut at the beginning of the evening, and then we get footage of The Viper punting Mr. McMahon in the skull. After that, we now see the main event of the night, where Randy Orton manages to beat John Cena but then gets Tombstoned by the newest member of the RAW Roster, The Undertaker. The final image we get is of The Deadman kneeling over The Viper, holding his WWE Championship up in front of him as we fade to black.

Now we get the usual RAW opening video which shows off the newest stars of RAW that we gained last week on the draft before we cut into the arena where a massive pyrotechnic display sounds off from the arena. The cameras then pan around the arena, taking in some signs such as ‘R.I.P Orton’, ‘Straight-Edge’ and ‘I Came To See Kung Fu Naki’.

Michael Cole: Welcome ladies and gentleman to the longest running weekly episodic television show in history! My name is Michael Cole and alongside me, as ever, my partner Jerry The King Lawler, and what a show we have for you.

King: Oh, it’s a huge one tonight, not only are we going to hear from The Undertaker, we have the WWE Divas Championship on the line and Randy Orton will battle Shane McMahon in a STREET FIGHT!

Michael Cole: It’s a packed show tonight ladies and gentleman, so let’s not waste any time, let’s get down to business.

The fans are still screaming but they eventually die down, that is until...

‘GONG...’

*GRAVEYARD SYMPHONY...*​

The lights go off in the arena but that doesn’t stop the fans from cheering wildly, the cameras cut to the stage where smoke fills it, we can hardly see anything but eventually we do see a dark figure walking towards the camera. We now see it is none other than The Undertaker, walking down the ramp, in darkness but we can see that he doesn’t have his usual hat and coat, instead it’s a hooded coat which has small spikes along the shoulders.

Michael Cole: The Undertaker has called SmackDown home for many years, but now, for the first time since the brand split, The Undertaker is on RAW, and last he targeted The Viper Randy Orton!

King: And I’m so glad that he is, Randy Orton has been running riot over these past few weeks and if any man can stop him, it’s The Deadman!

The Undertaker has now made his way down the ramp, he walks to the side, climbs up the steel steps while picking up a microphone that was left there, he steps into the ring and the lights stay off while ‘Taker keeps his hood up, but he starts to speak.

The Undertaker: It has been an eternity since the demons of hell called RAW their playground.

Huge cheer from the crowd as ‘Taker stares out into the masses...

The Undertaker: For five years... SmackDown has been the demon of Death Valley’s playground.

Fans are still listening intently...

The Undertaker: SmackDown is where the young and clueless came to hunt... and they all tried to make a name for themselves... at my expense. Every living being attempted to use me as a catapult for their selves, I was the hunted, but every single one of them failed in their attempt.

Cheer from the crowd as The Deadman starts to pace around the ring...

The Undertaker: Now... I am the hunter and RAW is my hunting ground... and my first conquest is the WWE Champion.

Huge pop at the prospect of ‘Taker/Orton...

The Undertaker: I... am on RAW for two reasons... the WWE Championship... and Randy Orton.

Huge heat at the mention of The Viper...

The Undertaker: Since WrestleMania... where another mortal fell... the gates of hell were closed. But last week, those gates reopened and all the demons that reside in hell... have been unleashed on RAW.

Huge pop...

The Undertaker: Every demon that resides in hell... every demon that has came from Death Valley... they all are looking for Randy Orton.

Another cheer, ‘Taker now stops pacing and stands in the centre of the ring...

The Undertaker: Randy Orton is a mere mortal but he acts as if he is a God.

Pause...

The Undertaker: In three weeks time... Judgment Day will be upon us... a time when people stand trial for their judgement... a time when every evil spirit descends on the WWE... and the time when Randy Orton pays for his actions.

Huge pop...

The Undertaker: Randy Orton’s Judgment Day is upon him... and I am the judge, jury... and executioner... I will make Randy Orton pay for his sins. In three weeks time... Randy Orton steps in the ring with The Demon of Death Valley... and Randy Orton...

‘Taker turns to the stage...

The Undertaker: You will admit your sins... you will relinquish the WWE Championship... and you will... Rest... In... Piece.

The fans cheer loudly as Undertaker walks to the centre of the ring but then...

‘I HEAR VOICES...’

*VOICES...*​

The arena lights now brighten up as the fans react with heat at the music of the WWE Champion. The Undertaker meanwhile turns to face the stage, looking rather pissed off as The Viper, Randy Orton walks onto the stage with a microphone on his hand.

Michael Cole: This is what we came to see! The confrontation between The Deadman and The Viper.

King: Randy Orton is a brave man interrupting The Undertaker.

On the stage, Orton’s music dies down and he begins speaking.

Randy Orton: Undertaker... I think you have your wires crossed, because I am the Apex Predator on RAW, I’m not hunted... I hunt others.

Orton adjusts the WWE Championship on his shoulder...

Randy Orton: You are correct though, in three weeks time we do meet in that ring for MY WWE Championship but I will not pay for my sins.

Orton stares down at ‘Taker...

Randy Orton: In three weeks time... Judgment Day will be here but it’s not mine, it’s yours.

‘Taker continues staring up at Orton, hood still up...

Randy Orton: You all heard me right... it’s your Judgment Day. Y’see... last week Undertaker, you made a huge mistake showing up on RAW... and attacking me was the worst thing you could’ve done... because now you are on my radar. You have my attention... and that’s something nobody wants.

Boos from the crowd while Orton continues to stare at his challenger...

Randy Orton: Undertaker, you and I have crossed paths bef-

The Undertaker: Randy Orton... we have crossed paths in battle before. You thought you could make a name for yourself like so many others, by attempting what so many others have attempted before. What so many others have tried and failed at... that was ending the streak at WrestleMania... and just like the others... you failed.

Huge pop while Orton clenches his teeth...

The Undertaker: In reality... you were a kid who thought he could go toe to toe with a force he could not control, that he could not comprehend. You were just another name who thought he could make a name for himself at my expense... but you, Randy Orton, were just another mortal on the list.

Another pop...

The Undertaker: A mere mortal who thought he could handle the depths of hell and walk into The Deadman’s yard.

Huge pop as ‘Taker brings the mic down to his side...

Randy Orton: You’re right in one thing Deadman, back then I was a kid, but now... I have risen to the top of the WWE, as proven by this.

Orton holds the title in the air gathering some huge heat...

Randy Orton: And now... I am the most dangerous man in the WWE and at Judgment Day Undertaker, when I defend my championship against you... it’s going to end the same way Backlash did, with me PUNTING my opponent in the skull.

Huge heat...

Randy Orton: At Judgment Day, I end the legend of The Undertaker... I end you... you Undertaker... at Judgment Day... will Rest... In... Piece.

The Viper and The Deadman lock eyes from the ring to the stage but the fans suddenly start booing as Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase jump the barricade! But The Undertaker notices them and levels DiBiase with a right hand, sending him reeling before doing the same to Cody. He pushes Cody into the corner, but gets clobbered from behind by DiBiase, ‘Taker tries to fight him off but Rhodes gets involved and the two men start to wear down The Deadman, they rip his hooded cloak off but The Deadman starts to fight back! Sending them both away with rights and lefts, but then The Viper slides into the ring and hits The Undertaker with a chop block!

Michael Cole: The numbers game is catching up to The Undertaker!

King: Legacy are like a pack of wolves!

Orton climbs on top of ‘Taker and starts pounding away on his head but the fans suddenly start cheering as SHANE MCMAHON SPRINTS DOWN THE AISLE WITH A STEEL PIPE! DiBiase and Rhodes see him coming and split, but Orton hasn’t realized, eventually the cheers alert him and he stands up, turns around but gets SMASHED IN THE GUT WITH THE PIPE! The crowd are going insane as Orton drops to his knees before rolling out of the ring as Shane-O kicks him out!

Michael Cole: It’s Shane McMahon! He’s got some back up in that lead pipe and he’s sent a message to Randy Orton.

King: Check Rhodes and DiBiase out though, they left their mentor to the slaughter without even telling him.

Undertaker is now back on his feet, he and Shane glance at each other before setting their eyes on Orton who kneels on the beginning of the ramp, holding his stomach in pain as DiBiase and Rhodes have disappeared backstage. Shane welcomes Orton into the ring but The Viper shakes his head and tells Shane he’ll get him later on tonight.

Michael Cole: What a start to the show here tonight! And it’s going to continue as we have a Street Fight scheduled for later on between Orton and Shane McMahon.

King: Shane got some measure of revenge right now, but he’ll want to inflict serious damage on Randy Orton in the Street Fight!

We now fade to a commercial as Orton stares at the two men in the ring.

{Commercials}

Monday Night RAW returns and we’re backstage where Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes are standing in a locker room, DiBiase is pacing from side to side whereas Cody is simply in deep thought, staring at the ground. Suddenly, a loud bang is heard, the camera swings around to see Randy Orton standing in the doorway, looking extremely pissed off, he walks over to the two them.

Randy Orton: WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!

Orton slams his fist into the locker door beside him...

Randy Orton: OUT THERE... WHAT THE HELL.

DiBiase and Rhodes meet Orton’s gaze, the vein popping in Orton’s temple...

Randy Orton: C’mon! I’m out there with The Undertaker, and then Shane McMahon turns up, and you two IDIOTS... don’t even tell me... you two just run away like SPINELESS cowards!

Cody Rhodes: Look! You think we wanna’ get a lead pipe in our faces?!

Orton looks extremely pissed at Rhodes’ reaction while Ted simply stares at his friend...

Randy Orton: You think I do?! I am the WWE Champion... who now has to deal with The Undertaker... I have a Street Fight later... and you two have nothing!

Cody Rhodes: Nothing?! We have the World Tag Tea-

Randy Orton: I don’t care about the World Tag Team Championships; all I care about is the WWE Championship, and defeating the last McMahon tonight! And that is all you should care about!

Cody Rhodes: I thought you said... that Legacy wasn’t about you... it’s about all of us!

Ted continues not to say a word...

Randy Orton: If it’s about all of us... then you two COWARDS wouldn’t have left me high and dry, in that damn ring to get attacked by Shane McMahon and his lead pipe!

Rhodes doesn’t say another word while DiBiase looks down...

Randy Orton: Now get out of my sight! And you two better hold up on your end later tonight... now go!

Orton continues to stare at the two of them as DiBiase begins to leave but Rhodes stands his ground, staring back at Orton until DiBiase grabs him by the arm, telling him to leave it, and eventually Rhodes turns and the two of them leave.

Back in the arena...

Michael Cole: It’s certainly been a chaotic start to Monday Night RAW, and are we seeing some tension in the ranks of Legacy?

King: It looks that way, Rhodes didn’t enjoy being yelled at did he?

Michael Cole: I’m sure we’ll see more from these three men in due time ladies and gentleman, but right now it’s time for the number one contenders match to the WWE Intercontinental Championship.

‘BOOYAKA BOOYAKA 619...’

*BOOYAKA BOOYAKA...*

The crowd pop pretty loudly as the WWE Intercontinental Champion, Rey Mysterio walks out from behind the curtain, wearing white attire, Mysterio tee with a pink mask and the Intercontinental Title over his shoulder.

Michael Cole: Joining us on commentary for this match is none other than the Intercontinental Champion himself, Rey Mysterio.

King: And I’m sure he’s got a lot to say about Regal.

Mysterio reaches the ring after interacting with some of the fans before walking around the ring, and taking a seat next to King.

Michael Cole: Joining us now the current I.C Champion, welcome Rey.

Rey Mysterio: Thank you, Michael.

King: And Rey, I just want to say congratulations on defending your title at Judgment Day against all odds.

Rey Mysterio: It was tough but I’m glad I’m able to sit here and say I’m the WWE Intercontinental Champion!

*REGALITY...*​

The arrival of the first man in this match is met with heat as William Regal walks out onto the stage, without Drew McIntyre and Nigel McGuiness, he begins to walk down the ramp in black attire with a black long coat.

Michael Cole: Here is the man you beat, Rey, but it seems he isn’t done with you as he wants another shot at your Intercontinental Championship.

Rey Mysterio: Hey, I’m a fightin’ champion, I have no problem defendin’ my belt against him again, or against anyone for that matter.

King: It seems Regal has a real dislike for you, Rey.

Regal walks up the steel steps and wipes his feet on the apron before stepping into the ring.

*THIS FIRE BURNS...*​

The crowd cheer hugely as Mister Money in the Bank, CM Punk walks out from behind the curtain. He kneels on the stage before yelling out ‘it’s clobbering time’, wearing a grey hoodie with his hood up, he keeps his eyes on Regal as he walks down the ramp.


Michael Cole: CM Punk, the current Money in the Bank holder has the chance to face you, Rey, and if he does, imagine if he wins the WWE Intercontinental Title and then cashes in and becomes WWE Champion.

Rey Mysterio: That would be very interesting, Michael, but if he does win this match then he’s gonna’ have a tough time achieving that.

King: Rey if you had to choose one of these two face, who would it be?

Rey Mysterio: Honestly, William Regal, it seems he has a beef with me, and I’d like to end it once and for all. But if CM Punk wins I’ll gladly face him as he is a very talented Supertar and would test me to the limit.

Punk jogs up the steel steps, climbs up the outside of the turnbuckle, and raises the briefcase in the air before pulling his hood down and revealing the shaved head which we saw last week. He drops down and prepares to fight.

Match One: Singles; WWE Intercontinental Number One Contenders Match
CM Punk vs. William Regal


We join this match a few minutes in, it’s been a back and forth bout until Regal caught Punk with a knee to the head, he then locks in a sleeper hold. Regal wrenches the hold, trying to knock Punk out, the referee eventually lifts Punk’s arm in the air, it drops! Another time, and again it drops! If it drops for a second time it’s all over... BUT PUNK KEEPS HIS ARM IN THE AIR! Regal shakes his head as the fans cheer, Punk manages to twist to his feet, while Regal transitions in to a side headlock, then Punk backs Regal into the ropes and uses the momentum to break his grip! Punk ducks a clothesline by Regal and connects with a drop kick on Regal when he returns. Mister Money in the Bank continues his momentum by clotheslining Regal, and then again before measuring for a Roundhouse Kick... but Regal ducks and runs Punk into the ropes, before kneeing him in the gut and hitting a Snapmare! He kicks Punk in the back, and he screams out in pain!

Regal picks Punk up, he drags him into the corner and smashes his head onto the top turnbuckle, and again he does it before turning Punk around. Regal Irish-whips him into the opposite corner and runs at Punk, CONNECTING WITH A CORNER CLOTHESLINE! Regal backs away while Punk stumbles out, but then he stumbles right into Regal who PLANTS HIM WITH HIS SIGNATURE SCOOP EXPLODER SLAM! Regal kneels next to Punk, with the fans booing him but some respecting the move that he just pulled out before hooking the leg... 1... 2... NO! Regal quickly gets to his feet and begins to argue with the referee, but then stops when he notices Punk is getting to his feet, he walks over, kicks him in the gut and then PUTS HIM DOWN WITH A DOUBLE UNDERHOOK SUPLEX! Again, Regal hooks the leg, telling the referee to count... 1... 2... KICK OUT!

Again, William climbs to his feet, ignoring Punk and gets in the referee’s face, telling him to do his job. He doesn’t realise that Punk is now on his feet, he turns around and Punk hits him with a kick to the right knee, and then another to left, before getting set... and KNOCKING HIS HEAD OFF WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK! The crowd respond with a huge cheer as Regal falls to the mat, Punk drops to his knees, breathing heavily before hooking the leg... 1... 2... NO! Regal gets the shoulder up to a huge amount of boos, while Punk runs his hand over his head, staring out into the crowd. Punk waits for Regal to get to his feet, and then kicks him in the stomach before PLANTING HIM WITH A DRAGON SUPLEX! Punk rolls over on top of Regal and hooks the leg again... 1... 2... ANOTHER KICK OUT!

Punk wastes little time, he looks around the ring before exiting onto the apron, he grabs the top rope, waits for Regal to stand up... and GOES FOR A SPRINGBOARD CLOTHESLINE... but Regal sidesteps... but Punk lands on his feet however Regal is behind him AND CONNECTS WITH AN AMAZING OVERHEAD HALF NELSON SUPLEX! The fans are in shock as Punk does a full turn, and land square on his face and chest! Regal takes a moment to regain his breath before then turning around and covering his opponent... 1... 2... NO! Regal walks around the ring before settling on a side and leaning on the ropes, waiting for Punk to get up, he does so and Regal sprints forward LOOKING FOR THE KNEE TREMBLER BUT PUNK SIDE STEPS HIM! Punk takes full advantage and CLOTHESLINES REGAL OVER THE TOP ROPE!

The commentators stand up to get a good look at Regal who uses the tables to get to his feet, he glances at Rey but turns around, to see PUNK FLYING THROUGH THE TOP AND SECOND ROPE... SUICIDE DIVE... BUT REGAL MANAGED TO TWIST HIS BODY SO PUNK LANDS... SIDE FIRST INTO THE SIDE OF THE ANNOUNCE TABLE! The crowd are in awe as both men lie on the mat, really getting into this match while the referee checks on them both before climbing into the ring and starting the count. Regal gets up first, while the cameras get a close up of Punk’s side, which has red marks on the side of it! William grabs Punk, pulls him to his feet, then Irish-whips him INTO THE STEEL STEPS! Regal feels he’s done enough for now and then turns to Rey who stands up, looking ready for a fight. Regal tells him he’s coming for that title, but Rey stands his ground... then Punk gets involved... clobbering Regal from behind, and Irish-whipping him INTO THE CORNER OF THE BARRICADE!

Punk climbs into the ring, breaking the referee’s count, he slides back out and starts to walk over to Regal who sits in the corner of the barricade, but Punk decides against it, he climbs onto the apron and climbs up the turnbuckle! Regal starts to get to his feet... PUNK STANDS UP ON THE TOP... AND SOARS THROUGH THE AIR... CROSS BODY... TAKING REGAL DOWN! WOW! The crowd are on their feet, applauding the action that we are seeing, while both men take a breather on the mat. Punk uses the barricade to get to his feet, receiving pats on his shoulders from the fans, he walks over to Regal and slides him into the ring before going for the cover... 1... 2... NO! ANOTHER KICK OUT! THIS MATCH CONTINUES!

Mister Money in the Bank sits up before backing away and leaning on the bottom rope, breathing heavily while Regal lays on the mat, looking up into the ceiling. Punk uses the ropes to climb to his feet, he then exits onto the apron, Punk walks over to the turnbuckle and climbs it... LOOKING FOR AN ELBOW DROP... BUT REGAL ROLLS OUT THE WAY! Punk hits the mat pretty hard, and writhes on the mat, holding his elbow! Punk gets to his feet, holding his side and his arm, but then stumbles into Regal’s clutches who LOOKS FOR THE REGAL PLEX... BUT PUNK LANDS ON HIS FEET! The crowd gasp at that... but Regal runs at Punk who ducks a clothesline and grabs his opponent from behind AND HITS HIM WITH HIS PEPSI TWIST! Punk’s pulling out all the stops with some of his Indy moves as he climbs to his feet, and climbs up the turnbuckle again, before HITTING A CROOKED MOONSAULT! Cover... 1... 2... KICK OUT!

Punk pounds the mat and then shoots an accusing look at the referee, he clears his mind before picking Regal up and Irish-whipping him into the corner. Punk backs into the opposite corner and runs forward... AND ALMOST TAKES REGAL’S HEAD OFF WITH A KNEE TO THE FACE! Punk then runs forward with Regal in his clutches... BULLDOG... NO... REGAL THROWS PUNK OFF! AND RUNS FORWARD... KNEE TREMBLER! It connects and Punk looks out of it! Regal goes for the cover... 1... 2... NO! Regal screams in the referee’s face, and he backs off while the fans boo him, but Regal turns back to Punk, he kneels beside him and tries to LOCK IN THE REGAL STRETCH... but Punk manages to counter INTO THE ANACONDA VISE! Regal tries to get out, it looks as though he is going to tap out... Punk wrenches the hold and wrenches, screaming at Regal to tap.

But suddenly... JACK SWAGGER SPRINTS DOWN THE RAMP AND CLIMBS ONTO THE APRON... HE GETS THE REFEREE’S ATTENTION... Punk lets go of the Anaconda Vise and walks over to Swagger. He pushes the referee out of the way and smashes Swagger in the face with a forearm smash! With Swagger dealt with... Punk turns around but Regal is on his feet AND CONNECTS WITH POWER OF THE PUNCH! The referee hasn’t seen the brass knuckles as Regal quickly puts them back in his tights... and goes for the cover... 1... 2... 3!


Winner: William Regal @ 14.54

Swagger has cost Punk the match! Regal doesn’t care however, he rolls off Punk and lies beside him, regaining his breath after a huge match. Swagger stands up on the outside, holding his mouth before shouting that he wants that briefcase.

Michael Cole: Well, there we go... it looks you’ll face William Regal once again at Judgment Day, Rey.

Rey Mysterio: And I can’t wait, it will give me an opportunity to shut Regal up for good.

King: Looks like we aren’t done.

Regal slide out of the ring, looking extremely tired but still walks over to Mysterio who stands up. Regal, with sweat pouring off him, pushes Rey in the face, and he falls back onto the barricade, but Rey isn’t about to let that slide as HE SPRINTS AT REGAL, JUMPING ON TOP OF HIM! Rey lands blow after blow on Regal but then the challenger turns the tables and hits a few of his own before a couple of referees and road agents run towards them and break them apart. Both men kicking out at each other.

Michael Cole: This rivalry is far from over, and Rey did not like being pushed in the face Regal.

King: Would you? Rey had every right to get some revenge for that push, and y’know what, I can’t wait for this match at Judgment Day, to see these two lock horns again.

Regal and Rey continue to get to each other, while Punk climbs to his feet in the ring, he looks up at the stage where Swagger is standing with a huge grin across his face.

{Commercials}​

Monday Night RAW returns and we’re backstage where the WWE Divas Champion Maryse, and the WWE Women’s Champion Beth Phoenix are arguing in Ric Flair’s GM, and the General Manager is currently watching the two of them argue with a hand on his head.

Ric Flair: Girls... girls... girls.

The two of them stop arguing and turns to Flairr...

Ric Flair: I know you both want to know who the top Diva is... and The Nature Boy woooooooo has came up with a solution!

Beth and Marye glance at each other...

Ric Flair: Next week... LIVE... on Monday Night RAW... will be the beginning of a small tournament... and the winner... will join you two at Judgment Day in a triple threat.

Nice pop...

Ric Flair: In what will be... simply the BIGGEST Divas match in history wooooooooo... both titles will be on the line... and the winner will be crowned... the undisputed top diva of RAW!

Beth looks at Ric, glances at Maryse and without saying another word before leaving, a few seconds pass by before Maryse attempts to do the same but Ric grabs her by the hand...

Ric Flair: Woah... where are you goin’? Why don’t you and I-

Maryse takes her hand away from Ric and puts in his face, telling him to be quiet... she keeps it there while she talks, she looks into the far distance while talking...

Maryse: I’ll have z’you know... I am the top Diva on this brand... and ‘zat means nobody gets too touch me... not even ‘ze Nature Boy.

Maryse takes her hand down from Flair’s face before leaving, a smirk appears on Flair’s face as Maryse takes her leave, the crowd responding with ‘woos’.

WWE SmackDown LowDown

The package begins with Chris Jericho cutting his promo at the beginning of the night, only to be interrupted by Matt Hardy, both men lay their case to the World Heavyweight Championship. It looks like it may come to blows before John Cena walks out, rather pissed off, he puts both Jericho and Matt in their place before Theodore Long comes out and announces our tag team main event. Later in the evening, the three men are in the ring and Cena’s partner is revealed as Jeff Hardy. The duo win the match, but it’s not without incident as Matt Hardy was hit with a Steel Chair and Jericho had his foot on the bottom rope when he was pinned.

In the arena...

*I SPIT IN ‘DA FACE OF PEOPLE WHO DON’T WANT TO BE COOL...’

*COOL...*​

The crowd respond with a solid pop as The Colons walk onto the stage, wearing matching long light blue attire and looking very focused tonight. The two of them walk down the ramp, Primo takes the time to slap a few hand but Carlito simply walks to the ring, throwing his apple up and down.

Michael Cole: This match, much like the one before it, will have huge ramifications on the Judgment Day card, as the winner will face the World Tag Team Champions, Cryme Tyme.

King: Cryme Tyme better watch out, because The Colons are the former WWE Tag Team Champions, if they win tonight then Cryme Tyme might be in huge trouble.

*PRICE TO PLAY...*​

For the first time since they debuted, Drew McIntyre and Nigel McGuiness make their way to the ring without their mentor and manager, William Regal. The theme isn’t recognised to any Superstar, but when they walk out they get a lot of boos, the duo begin to walk down the ramp, Nigel in black and gold attire while McIntyre in dark blue and white trunks.

Michael Cole: Even without William Regal by their side, they are still a very dangerous team, and are on the road to the gold, I feel.

King: If they win tonight, then that means they get a shot at the tag team titles, on the same night that their manager William Regal gets a shot at the WWE Intercontinental Championship!

The two men climb onto the apron, stare at The Colons for a bit, telling them to back off while they step in to the ring.

Match Two: Tag Team; World Tag Team #1 Contenders Match

Drew looks down at the fallen Primo, with a smile on his face, he then connects with an Elbow Drop before going for the cover... 1... 2... KICK OUT! The Scotsman grabs Primo by the head and pulls him to his feet, and Irish-whips him into the corner... but Primo runs up the turnbuckle... he jumps on the top, spinning as he does so, so he faces McIntyre... and then jumps forward this time... CONNECTING WITH A MISSILE DROP KICK! Cover... 1... 2... NO!

Primo rolls out onto the apron and waits for Drew to get up, he goes to jump but Nigel runs at him, along the apron, but Primo spots him and knocks his face with a forearm.

McIntyre stands up, pulling Primo up as well, he steps behind him and puts his arm behind his back... then CONNECTS WITH A BACK BODY DROP... landing on the arm! Primo extends his arm on the mat, shaking it, trying to get some motion back into it but Drew bounces off the ropes and hits a Running Knee Drop onto the arm... before going for the cover... 1... 2... NO! The crowd respond with a good cheer while Drew wastes no time and picks his opponent up before whipping him into Nigel’s corner and tagging in his partner.

Nigel continues where Drew left off and wraps Primo’s arm around the top rope, he begins to wrench it until the referee counts to four and he lets go just in time. Nigel pulls Primo out the corner, kicks him in the stomach and plants him with a huge suplex! Nigel then reaches over and tags Drew, who stomps on Primo’s arm and goes for the cover... 1... 2... NO! The Scotsman and the Englishman keep working together as Drew tags Nigel in who climbs to the top rope, Drew holds out the arm of Primo as Nigel jumps off AND HITS AN AXE HANDLE SMASH TO PRIMO’S ARM!

Nigel gets up quickly but is planted again by a clothesline, and then a drop kick! Carlito bounces off the ropes, runs to the other side, but gets kicked in the back by McIntyre! Carlito turns around and swings at him but Drew drops down, ‘Lito turns around AND GETS ABSOLUTELY HAMMERED BY A RUNNING CLOTHESLINE BY NIGEL! Nigel reaches over and tags in Drew, and takes a breather on the apron while McIntyre picks ‘Lito up, only to slam him down again with a Snap Suplex! He quickly covers him... 1... 2... NO! Drew complains to the referee which eats valuable time as Carlito climbs to his feet. Drew turns around and walks over to him, but gets a couple of kicks in the leg for his trouble, Carlito then runs the ropes and goes for some Tilt-A-Whirl move... but MCINTYRE REVERSES IT AND FINISHES IT WITH A GUTBUSTER! Cover... 1... 2... KICK OUT!

Drew pounds the mat, thinking it was over as the crowd cheer the kick out, he shoots a glance at the referee who tells him it was a two count. The Scotsman then picks Carlito up and says it’s over... BEFORE PLANTING HIM WITH HIS SCOT DROP! It’s over! Drew covers Carlito... 1... 2... PRIMO BREAKS IT UP! The crowd pop as the referee gets Primo out of the ring, McIntyre walks over to him and gives him a piece of his mind.

Winners: The Ruthless Monarchy @ 09.56

The crowd respond with heat as the referee calls for the bell, Drew McIntyre realizes what’s happened with a smile and joins his partner in the ring. The two of them climb up two separate turnbuckles and raise their hands in the air, before making the customary belt sign across their stomachs.

Michael Cole: We now know who will face Cryme Tyme at Backlash for the World Tag Team Championships, the Ruthless Monarchy, the two youngest members. Drew McIntyre and Nigel McGuiness want those championships and judging by this match, Cryme Tyme will have a tough time with them.

King: No doubt about it, I’m sure JTG and Shad are watching, taking notes because they’ll need all the help they can get against this team, and don’t forget the other member of the group has a WWE Intercontinental Championship match at Backlash.

The duo now back up the ramp, smirking with their handy work before we cut to a commercial.

{Commercials}​

We’re backstage on our return we see Cryme Tyme playing a game with Kung Fu Naki and Jimmy Yang.

JTG: Aight... now where the ball at?

We now see there is a table with three cups face down.

Kung Fu Naki: Cup... there!

Naki points to the left one, JTG lifts it up but their isn’t any ball...

Shad: Aight aight, pay up.

Naki hands over an unknown bill...

JTG: Hold up... tell you guys what... double or nothin’... the last two left... where is ‘dat ball?

Naki points to the middle one...

Kung Fu Naki: Ball... in cup... middle.

JTG picks it up and again their isn’t a ball., Naki’s head drops.

JTG: Ah... well... betta’ luck next time homies.

Naki and Yang skulk away, feeling the moneyless pockets they have now as JTG pulls the third cup and they reveal their wasn’t a ball in any of them. Shad then brings it from behind his back.

JTG: Y’know what this means right...

Shad: Money... money...

‘Yeah... yeah...’...

Both: Money... Money-

Suddenly, the duo stop as Drew McIntyre and Nigel McGuiness appear behind them, still sweating from their match.

JTG: Yo... I thought I could smell somethin’... turns out it’s you two chumps.

Drew and Nigel smirk...

Drew McIntyre: That’s right... you two keep joking around... you won’t be joking for long though, because at Judgment Day... we take what belongs to us... the World Tag Team Championships.

Nigel McGuiness: You two can sit here, and play you’re stupid games while we think of a way to beat you. And let’s face it... that won’t take us long.

Heat...

Shad: Yo... we won d’these titles for a reason... and you two pale punk ass bitches ain’t gonna’ take them away from us.

JTG: J’yeah!

Another smirk from Drew and Nigel...

Nigel McGuiness: We’ll see... but lads, times ticking’... your reign is coming to an end.

Nigel pats JTG on the back and gets a steely look as the two of them walk past them. We now cut to the main arena where...

*OBSESSION...*​

The fans respond with a solid pop as one of the more popular Divas, Mickie James skips onto the stage, she poses for the crowd before continuing skipping down the ramp.

Michael Cole: This match is happening because of what transpired last week between Mickie James and the WWE Divas Champion, Maryse. Mickie James challenged the champion to this match and she duly accepted.

King: This will be Maryse’s first match on RAW, and what a first match – defending her WWE Divas Championship!

Mickie slides into the ring, before climbing up the turnbuckle and raises her hands to the sky. She then drops down and waits for her opponent.

*POURQUOI...*​

Some of the male fans in the arena react with cheers but it is quickly drowned out by the heat from the rest of the crowd. The WWE Divas Champion now walks out onto the ring, Maryse continues walking in a red and white attire, fitting for her debut on RAW. She holds her hand out telling the crowd to shut up before walking around the ring.

Michael Cole: Maryse defended her belt against Gail Kim at Judgment Day, and incase you haven’t checked WWE.com out, Gail Kim and a few others are now on RAW, as Ric Flair and Theodore Long oversaw the Supplemental draft.

King: Wait... Cole... watch this.

Maryse climbs into the ring, and then flips her hair before winking.

King: I honestly think she was winking at me.

Michael Cole: She wasn’t even looking at you!

Maryse retreats in to her corner.

*BELL RINGS...*​

Lillian Garcia steps forward...

Lillian Garcia: The following contest is scheduled for one fall... and is FOR THE WWE DIVAS CHAMPIONSHIP!

Pop...

Lillian Garcia: Introducing first... she is a former WWE Women’s Champion... from Richmond Virginia... weighing in at one hundred and twenty four pounds... MICKIE JAMES!

Mickie steps forward and raises her hands in the air, getting a good pop.

Lillian Garcia: Her opponent... from Montreal Quebec Canada... weighing one hundred and fifteen pounds... she is the WWE DIVAS CHAMPION... MARYSE!

The blonde Diva steps forward, turns her back on Mickie and raises her belt in the air. Lillian exits the ring as Maryse hands her belt to the referee. He holds it up in the middle of the ring before showing it to Mickie and then Maryse before handing it to the time keeper and calling for the bell.

Match 3: Singles; WWE Divas Championship
Maryse © vs. Mickie James


We join this match a few minutes in with the challenger in control, Mickie has just connected with a Scoop Slam, and then climbs to the top rope. She waits for Maryse to stand up before SOARING THROUGH THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A CROSS BODY! She then covers the champion... 1... 2... NO! Mickie doesn’t waste any time, she picks Maryse up, Irish-whips her and connects with a Hip Toss on her return! Maryse is in a seated position but not for long as Mickie runs the ropes and SMASHES MARYSE IN THE FACE WITH HER KNEE! Mickie turns around and dives to the cover... 1... 2... KICK OUT! Mickie taunts Maryse for the fans before climbing the turnbuckle, but Maryse gets to her feet and dives to the ropes, shaking them and Mickie falls onto the top buckle! Maryse walks over and climbs to the second rope, she hooks Mickie’s arm across her neck and goes for a Superplex but Mickie hooks her leg around the metal bar before headbutting Maryse. She falls to the mat below, she gets up rather quickly and Mickie goes for ANOTHER CROSS BODY BUT MARYSE DIVES OUT THE WAY! Mickie hits the canvas pretty hard!

Mickie gets up though, fighting through the pain, only to be kicked in the stomach and then Maryse flips her with a Snapmare! Maryse runs the ropes and CONNECTS WITH A RUNNING LOW DROP KICK TO A SEATED MICKIE JAMES! She quickly goes for the cover... 1... 2... NO! The WWE Divas Champion continues her momentum and picks Mickie up, then Irish-whips her, she returns and MARYSE PLANTS MICKIE WITH A PENDULUM BACKBREAKER! Maryse doesn’t go for the cover, instead she walks around the ring, with her hands to her side, showing herself off, she then goes back to Mickie and taunts her before then walking to the ropes and flipping her hair which gets a surprisingly good reaction. Mickie is now almost on her feet, not but is then clobbered with a clothesline by Maryse! Maryse dives on top of Mickie, and grabs her leg BEFORE LOCKING A SINGLE LEG BOSTON CRAB!

Mickie squirms, reaching out for anything, but she isn’t anywhere near the ropes as Maryse holds the leg, wrenching it every so often, inflicting as much damage as she possibly can. Eventually though, the crowd gets behind Mickie and that spurs her on, using her strength to push her body off the mat and crawl to the ropes... AND SHE MAKES IT! Maryse isn’t done with Mickie though, she lets go of the hold, before pulling her back to the ropes BEFORE LOCKING IN A CAMEL CLUTCH! Maryse is showing some real skills here as she continues to wear down Mickie James, the cameras close in on Mickie’s face which shows how much pain she really is in. We then see Maryse’s and she has a grin which reaches from one side of her face from the other, sarcastically telling Mickie to c’mon. It looks like Mickie is about to give up but then she pulls her knees up AND MANAGES TO STAND UP WITH MARYSE ON HER BACK! BEFORE DROPPING TO A SEATED POSITION... HITTING MARYSE WITH A SIT DOWN JAWBREAKER!

The crowd cheer as Maryse holds onto her jaw as Mickie climbs to her feet, the two Divas get up at the same time but it’s Mickie who is the aggressor as she sprints forward, hitting a clothesline and then a shoulder block in quick succession! Maryse keeps getting up however, Mickie puts her down with a shoulder block, then when she gets up again – she kicks her in the stomach before FLIPPING HER WITH A SUPLEX! Mickie screams to the crowd who respond with a cheer, she waits for Maryse to stand up before GOING FOR A MICK KICK... BUT MARYSE DUCKS... AND GRABS MICKIE FROM BEHIND... THROWING HER OUT OF THE RING!

The crowd boo as Maryse smugly looks at them, before climbing out of the ring. Mickie climbs to her feet... but Maryse connects with a running clothesline and then picks her up... BEFORE LAUNCHING HER INTO THE BARRICADE! The crowd behind the ‘cade back off as it moves backwards with the force that Mickie hit it. Maryse walks around Mickie in a circle, smug as ever before picking Mickie, she grabs her by the face and tells her that she isn’t a match for her BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A FORWARD RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP... ON THE FLOOR! Maryse grabs Mickie and rolls her into the ring but then...

*GLAMAZON...*​

... the fans don’t really react to that as they are too busy with the match at hand, Maryse glances at the WWE Women’s Champion as Beth Phoenix walks out onto the stage and stands up there, obviously wanting a good look at the women she faces in a Triple Threat at Judgment Day. Maryse turns back to Mickie and dives on top of her... 1... 2... NO! Beth watches as Maryse stands up and taunts her from the ring, before turning back to Mickie and grabbing her legs... LOCKING IN A MODIFIED FIGURE FOUR LEG LOCK! The crowd respond with ‘woo’s’ obviously at the move that Flair is related too, Maryse has a modified one in however which causes Mickie to frantically try to get out of it. It’s impossible though as Maryse wrenches, while she’s doing this she’s lying flat on the mat, looking up at Beth, upside down mind you. But then Mickie gets a second win... eventually PULLING HERSELF AND MARYSE TO THE ROPES... GRABBING THE BOTTOM!

Maryse lets go as Mickie holds onto her legs, but the champion pulls her into the middle of the ring and cover her... 1... 2... KICK OUT! Again, Maryse walks over to the ropes and taunts Beth who simply holds her WWE Women’s Championship up in response. Maryse turns around but Mickie is now on her feet AND SPRINTS FOWARD... CLOTHESLINE! Mickie hops in pain as she feels a twinge go up her leg as Maryse lies on the mat. The Divas Champion picks herself up only for Mickie to plant her with another clothesline! Maryse gets up again and runs at Mickie who trips Maryse up with a Drop-Toe-Hold! Mickie again holds her legs in pain, but she walks over to the turnbuckle and climbs onto the top... and GOES FOR A CROSS BODY... AND IT CONNECTS! Cover... 1... 2... NO! Mickie picks herself up, she then picks Maryse up, but she kicks her in the leg! And then Maryse Irish-whips Mickie, and PLANTS HER WITH A SPNNING SIDE SLAM BACKBREAKER! Maryse stands up, and tells everyone it’s over... she takes one look at Beth before KICKING MICKIE IN THE HEAD WITH THE FRENCH TKO! Cover... 1... 2... 3!


Winner And Still WWE Divas Champion: Maryse @ 10.01

Maryse picks up the victory and manages to defend her WWE Divas Championship! Mickie rolls away from Maryse who stands up and is handed her championship, she turns to Beth and holds it up.

Michael Cole: Maryse has been on a roll as of late, and she is making a huge claim to be the best Diva on this brand.

King: Yep, defeating Mickie James, a former WWE Women’s Champion has certainly showed that Maryse is here to stay.

Maryse turns and walks to the opposite side of the ring where demands a microphone from ringside. She grabs it and walks back over to the side nearest the stage and stares up at Beth.

Maryse: ‘Zat... is why I am ‘ze best Diva on Monday Night RAW.

Little bit of heat as Beth shakes her head...

Maryse: I am ‘ze WWE Divas Champion... and z’you are the WWE Women’s Champion... it’s not official... but everybody here knows I am ‘ze top champion.

Maryse smirks while Beth looks at her belt...

Maryse: At Judgment Day... I do not care who ‘ze third member of ‘ze triple threat is... because it’s only goin’ to end one way... with me becomin’ both ‘ze Divas Champion and ‘ze Women’s Champion.

Another smirk from Maryse...

Maryse: And z’you Beth Phoenix... will take z’your rightful place... in ‘ze background... in my shadow.

Suddenly, now Beth has been handed a microphone from someone...

Beth Phoenix: I am the WWE Women’s Champion and that means one thing... I am better than you. The WWE Women’s Championship is steeped in history, while that (points to Maryse’s belt) is an abomination, a belt that looks like a toy.

Maryse presses her lips together...

Beth Phoenix: At Judgment Day... I will win the match... and I will destroy that thing you call a championship. See you at Judgment Day... Maryse.

Beth drops the microphone and holds her belt in the air, Maryse does the exact same thing as we fade to a commercial break.

{Commercials}​

We’re now backstage where Josh Matthews is waiting with a microphone in his clutches.

Josh Matthews: Please welcome my guest at this time... The All American American... Jack Swagger!

Right on cue, Jack Swagger walks into the shot...

Josh Matthews: And Jack... I guess the first thing I need to ask you is why you cost CM Punk his match earlier tonight?

Jack thinks for a moment...

Jack Swagger: It’s rather simply Josh, on Superstars I defeated a man who I fought a lot on ECW. A brand where I became the ECW Champion, that means I was the top man on that brand, and I enjoyed being the top Superstar on a brand. So, CM Punk has somethin’ I want, my main aim on this brand is to become the top Superstar, and that means winning the WWE Championship.

Swagger pauses...

Jack Swagger: I told CM Punk on Superstars that I was comin’ for that briefcase, because that briefcase is a one way ticket to the top. Havin’ that Money in the Bank briefcase means you are a guaranteed WWE or World Champion. At WrestleMania, CM Punk won that briefcase... when I wasn’t even on the card... I wasn’t involved in the Money in the Bank match and I wasn’t defendin’ my ECW Championship.

Another pause...

Jack Swagger: The way I see it, CM Punk doesn’t deserve that briefcase, what I did earlier t’night... was reinforcing what I told him last Thursday on Superstars... I want what he has, I want that briefcase and I will take it.

Josh takes the microphone back...

Josh Matthews: Okay... and one final question if you don’t mind. Later tonight you face a man who is making his debut on RAW, TJ Perkins, your thoughts on facing him?

Jack Swagger: Honestly... I don’t have a clue who TJ Perkins is, and for that reason alone I know I’m goin’ to win. But I’ll give you another reason, because I’m the last ever ECW Champion, The All American American... I am the future Money in the Bank holder... and I am the future WWE Champion! TJ Perkins? He doesn’t stand a chance against me, so if you see TJ Perkins then tell him that he shouldn’t bother comin’ to the ring, because it will be a wasted trip.

That wraps the interview up, Josh takes the microphone back as Swagger turns around and leaves to get prepared for his match. The cameras now cut away from the interview area and we are now in the RAW General Manager, Ric Flair’s office where MVP has just walked in and Flair stands up to greet him.

Ric Flair: MVP... Montel Vontavious Porter... just the man I wanted to see.

MVP: Uh, yeah. You called for me? What’s up?

Ric Flair: Lemme’ just say... before I get down to business, I’ve been watchin’ you for a while and I see a lot of Ric Flair in you.

MVP smirks...

Ric Flair: And lemme’ tell you somethin’... that is a hell of a compliment, woooo.

MVP: All I can say is thanks, but why did you want me here.

Flair adjusts this tie...

Ric Flair: I’ve got an opportunity for you... I know you’ve been tag team champion before but how would you like to be the champion again?

MVP: Well... actually, I had my eyes set on the WWE Championship if ya’ know what I mean.

Ric Flair: Baby steps... baby steps. You just ended your losin’ streak a couple of months ago, and The Nature Boy believes that a chance at the tag team championship is exactly what you need.

MVP nods, accepting what Flair has to say...

Ric Flair: And I have found you a partner wooooo.

MVP: Who?

Ric Flair: Here the man is now.

We hear a door open outside of the camera shut, MVP looks and then turns back to Flair with an exasperated expression...

MVP: Aw hell naw. This guy?

The camera pans out and we see Mr. Kennedy standing behind MVP, chewing his gum and receives a good pop from the crowd...

Mr. Kennedy: This guy? You kiddin’ me, you should be happy with the opportunity to team with me. Considering a couple of months ago, you were on your way out of this company with that losing streak. An’ ya’ know what... it was me who snapped you out of it?

MVP turns to face Mr. Kennedy...

MVP: You must be jokin’? That talk we had backstage... before the night I finally won? Hell... I was gonna’ win that match anyway... didn’t need any help from you.

Kennedy smirks...

Mr. Kennedy: Well I actuall-

Ric Flair: Guys! I can’t be dealin’ with more arguments in this room, had enough with the Divas earlier... now go to another room and deal with your problems there... and think about the tag team opportunity, you both could use some help on this brand.

Kennedy and MVP look at Flair before the duo leave, arguing as they leave the room, leaving Flair to sit back down on the couch smiling. We now fade away into a video package...

***

We open up and the first thing we see is a church, it’s night time and we can hear Owl’s hooting, it’s a very creepy atmosphere as we can see candle light shining through some of the windows...

We fade away again, and hear the screams of men and women, we don’t see anything just the darkness...

The video comes back and this time we are in the church, it’s very grim, some of the pews are turned over, candles are lit near the focal point of the church, where coffin lies...

Again, we fade away, but then we come right back and are in a small booth where we see Matt Hardy...

Matt Hardy:
Forgive me father for I have sinned...

Again, we fade away, getting a glimpse of the priest on the other side of the booth...

The video comes back around, the same booth but this time it’s Kane that’s there...

Kane:
Forgive me father for I have sinned...

Fade away for another time...

Fade back and we are back in the small booth this time its Randy Orton...

Randy Orton:
Forgive me father for I have sinned...

We’re now in a dark room, faintly lit by candles again, there is a desk where a man with a shroud sits who we assume is the priest...

We close in on the man, before taking a view of what he is looking at it, it’s photos of Randy Orton, Matt Hardy and Kane...

Priest:
You may have sinned... but He does not forgive...

We cut away again, and we’re in the main room of the church where we begin the video and we’re focused on the coffin...

We close in, and smoke fills the room as the coffin rises and a hand reaches up...

We then see a man sit up and it’s The Undertaker, he slowly faces the camera...

The Undertaker:
Judgment Day... is... coming...

***


Back in the arena...

‘AWESOME...’

*I CAME TO PLAY...’​

The crowd respond with some solid heat as the ever cocky Superstar, The Miz walks out onto the stage, spiked hair and a new blue attire with a ‘Awesome’ tee. He stands on the stage for a second, then taunts the crowd before walking down the ramp.

Michael Cole: This is The Miz’ first week here on RAW without the help of Chris Jericho, who is now on SmackDown, so it will be interesting to see how he does.

King: It will be, maybe he’ll learn to shut up and do his talking in the ring.

Michael Cole: Seems like that’s too much to ask.

The Miz climbs into the ring and demands the microphone from Lillian Garcia. He faces the hard camera and rolls the microphone in his hand.

The Miz: About a month ago, I dispersed with a leech, someone who was riding my coattails to the top, and that man’s name was John Morrison.

Mention of the SmackDown Superstar gets a good pop...

The Miz: Y’see, at WrestleMania, when we lost in the tag team match I realized that he was holdin’ me back. He was holding me back from seeing my true potential. I came into this business as a reality TV star, nobody cared about me, everyone thought I’d be gone sooner rather than later.

Miz rolls the mic in his hand...

The Miz: But I proved everyone wrong, I proved all of you people wrong... I proved everyone in the back wrong, and I became the World Tag Team Champion, John Morrison didn’t... he didn’t deserve to hold that belt, I was the one that kept the belts around our waists.

Heat...

The Miz: After I got rid of that leech... Chris Jericho-

Miz is cut off with a lot of heat...

The Miz: Chris Jericho came up to me, and he offered me a chance to learn from him... learn from the best. And I did so, I took everything on board and at Backlash I pinned John Morrison in our tag team match. But not only did I pin Morrison, I did somethin’ else.

Miz pauses...

The Miz: I injured one of the biggest stars in this company... Shawn Michaels. A lot of people compare John Morrison to Shawn Michaels, so I think it’s fitting that I pinned John Morrison at Backlash... and then injured his mentor and someone he is compared too.

Heat...

The Miz: Last week, Morrison was drafted to SmackDown and I guess that’s lucky for him, it means I can’t injure him the way I did to Shawn Michaels. I can picture Shawn now, I bet he’s watching at home right now, watching me on his television.

Miz faces the camera...

The Miz: So... Shawn... I’m issuing a challenge to you... the doctors say you’re returning in a months time, probably after Judgment Day so I’m tellin’ you right now... when you return... I’ll be waiting... waiting to put you on the IR list once more... the challenge is you're gonna' have to try and stop me... but that's not gonna' happen.

Miz turns from the camera and breathes in heavily...

The Miz: BECAUSE I’M THE MIZ... AND I’M...

Miz faces downwards, looking back into the camera... whispering the final word...

The Miz: Awesome.

The Awesome One hands the microphone back to Lillian and leans on the ropes, preparing for his opponent.

Michael Cole: Strong words from The Miz... catch him in action... next on Monday Night RAW!

{Commercials}​

We return to RAW where the music of Rey Mysterio is fading out and the man himself is in the ring, and as soon as we join them the referee calls for the bell.

Match 4: Singles
Rey Mysterio vs. The Miz


This match is already a few minutes in where Rey Mysterio is running at The Miz, but The Awesome One connects with a Scoop Slam. The Miz then runs the ropes and connects with a running leg drop before hooking the leg... 1... 2... NO! The Miz quickly keeps the pressure on, picking Rey up and Irish-whipping him into the corner. He follows him in, looking for a splash but Rey gets his elbows up, The Miz runs at him again after recovering but gets caught in a Drop-Toe-Hold and his face lands on the second turnbuckle! Rey recovers and pulls him up, and lifts him up onto the top rope. Mysterio quickly joins him, he stands up while Miz stays in a seated position AND CONNECTS WITH A HURRICANRANA! Rey scampers to the cover... 1... 2... NO!

The Intercontinental Champion climbs to his feet and waits for The MIz to get to his, he then connects with a couple of kicks to his legs before trying to kick his stomach but The Miz grabs his foot... but REY THEN HITS HIM WITH AN ENZUIGIRI! Another cover... 1... 2... KICK OUT! Mysterio pounds the mat, thinking that was it before walking over to the turnbuckle and climbing to the top rope, and when Miz gets up Rey soars THROUGH THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH A MISSILE DROP KICK! A third cover in quick succession... 1... 2... NO! The I.C Champ’ stands up and waits for The Miz to get to his feet again, Rey runs at him and PLANTS HIM WITH HIS UNIQUE BULL DOG! Another cover... 1... 2... NO! Not forth time lucky for Rey but he isn’t deterred, he gets up quickly and picks The Miz up. He then Irish-whips him, and trips him up with another Drop-Toe-Hold and The Awesome One lands on the second rope! Rey puts his hand in the air, signifying it’s time to end it... he runs away from The Miz and rebounds about to for the 619 but The Miz has recovered AND EXPLODES FORWARD AND TAKES REY DOWN WITH A HUGE CLOTHESLINE!

The Miz walks around the ring, looking extremely frustrated, he gets a few ‘you suck’ chants and he even shouts at them to shut up. He takes his frustrations out by walking over to Rey who has climbed to his knees, The Miz grabs him by the neck and PLANTS HIM WITH A SNAP DDT FROM A KNEELING POSITION! Cover... 1... 2... NO! The Miz shoots a look at the referee before picking Rey up, he pushes him against the ropes and Rey rebounds into The Miz’ clutches and is PLANTED WITH A FLAPJACK... BUT IT’S ON THE TOP ROPE! Rey clutches his neck while The Miz hits a front drop kick to Rey’s back and he falls forward onto the second rope! The Miz backs away and runs at him, using him as a springboard and landing on the outside... CONNECTING WITH THE HOT SHOT! He slides back into the ring as Rey gets to his feet, Miz tells him to come at him and he does so... but The Miz grabs him and lifts him off the ground BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A SIT DOWN JAW BREAKER! Cover... 1... 2... KICK OUT!

The Miz quickly gets up and gets in the referee’s face, before turning back to Rey, who is getting to his feet, The Awesome One grabs him and PLANTS HIM AGAIN WITH THE MIZZARD OF OZ! Another cover... 1... 2... NO! Rey kick out to a huge pop and The Miz pounds the mat with his fists. The Miz decides enough is enough and locks in a sleeper hold! He wrenches it and wrenches until Rey looks out, the referee checks but Rey keeps his arm up in the air to a huge cheer! Rey then battles to his feet, and then hits a number of elbows as The Miz transitions into a side head lock. Rey breaks free and sets off running, baseball sliding underneath his opponents legs, he gets up quickly and runs past The Miz, bouncing off the ropes and HITTING A TILT-A-WHIRL DDT! This gets the crowd fired up as he climbs the top rope and then CONNECTS WITH A FLYING CROSS BODY! Rey quickly gets up as does The Miz, he exits onto the apron and springboards off the top rope AND PUTS THE MIZ DOWN WITH A SPRINGBOARD HURRICANRANA! And The Miz ends up flying forward and lands on the second rope, facing the stage! Rey sets off running away from The Miz... but when he returns HE IS ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED BY A HUGE CLOTHESLINE BY... NIGEL MCGUINESS!

Winner: Rey Mysterio @ 7.24


WHAT IS GOING ON? THE MIZ WATCHES ON AS WILLIAM REGAL AND DREW MCINTYRE SLIDE INTO THE RING AND JOIN NIGEL IN STOMPING ON REY! The Miz decides against getting involved and slides out the ring, avoiding any confrontation with the three of the most dangerous men in on RAW.

Michael Cole: Awful... just awful. What the hell do these guys think they are doing!?

King: Someone needs to stop this!

The threesome continues to stomp on Rey before William instructs the other two to pick Rey up! Regal slaps Rey’s face and tells him that the Intercontinental Championship will be his! HE THEN PULLS OUT A PAIR OF BRASS KNUCKLES AND PUTS THEM ON... he rests them on Rey’s cheek before pulling away and THEN GOING FOR THE SHOT... BUT SUDDENLY CRYME TYME SPRINT DOWN THE RAMP AND SLIDE INTO THE RING, TAKING NIGEL AND DREW DOWN TO THE GROUND!

Michael Cole: Finally, someone stepping up to stop this group!

King: About time, Rey needs all the help he can get with these two.

SHAD CLIMBS OFF OF DREW AND TAKES DOWN REGAL AND THE BRASS KNUCKLES FALL OFF! Drew makes his return and pulls Shad off Regal, while Nigel and JTG have battled to the outside! The crowd are going pretty crazy at the brawl that has broken out! NIGEL AND JTG EVEN BATTLE OVER THE BARRICADE INTO THE CROWD... WHILE DREW AND SHAD HAVE FOUGHT ONTO THE TOP OF THE STAGE... LEAVING REY AND REGAL IN THE RING!

Michael Cole: We’re down to two!

Regal picks himself up from being taken down by Shad but gets kicked in the leg by Rey, who then drop kicks him and he stumbles back and falls through the ropes! BUT REY ISN’T DONE... HE GRABS THE TOP ROPE AND DIVES OVER THE TOP... CROSS BODY... NO... REGAL SIDE STEPS AND REY HITS THE MAT! Regal quickly takes advantage and LAUNCHES REY INTO THE STEEL STEPS! The crowd boo him loudly as referee’s rush the ring, trying to separate Regal from Rey, but Regal continues to punch him on the ground, eventually the referees get him off but the damage has been dealt as Rey looks knocked out. Meanwhile JTG and Nigel are in the middle of the crowd, still battling while Shad and Drew are fighting on the end of the stage!

Michael Cole: It’s absolute chaos on Monday Night RAW!

King: There are battles going on everywhere, I can’t keep up!

With everyone battling except Regal who kneels beside Rey and tells him that at Judgment Day he is going to win the WWE Intercontinental Championship, we fade to a commercial break.

{Commercials}​

Back on RAW, the sound of “Stronger” by TrustCompany is playing where a man is already in the ring, waiting on his opponent. Picture of said man.

Lillian Garcia: The following contest is scheduled for one fall... introducing first... from Los Angeles, California... weighing one hundred and seventy one pounds... TJ PERKINS!

TJ Perkins raises his hands in the air, getting a good pop from his hometown crowd tonight.

Michael Cole: Yes, that is TJ Perkins, recently signed by RAW General Manager Ric Flair.

King: And what a signing it is. He’s been all over the world perfecting his craft, trained by legendary wrestlers such as Mexican Superstar ***** Casas and Japanese legend Antonio Inoki. He’s verse in so many different styles so Jack Swagger better not take him lightly.

CHECK ONE TWO... OH YEAH...

*GET DOWN ON YOUR KNEES...*

The crowd respond with some good heat as the man who cost CM Punk his match earlier on tonight makes his entrance, Jack Swagger. Wearing his usual attire but this time it’s purple and gold he stops half way down the ramp, points at the man in the ring and laughs at him, obviously not taking him seriously.

Michael Cole: Swagger really needs to focus on this match as we’ve only heard good things about TJ Perkins.

King: This could be Swagger’s downfall.

Swagger climbs into the ring, brushes past Perkins and climbs up the turnbuckle telling everyone to get on their knees before stepping down and retreating into this corner.

*THIS FIRE BURNS...*​

A huge pop comes from the crowd as Mister Money in the Bank, CM Punk walks out with a grey hoodie on and the attire he had on earlier, he points at Jack Swagger before walking down the ramp. Swagger wonders what Punk is doing but Punk walks around the ring and joins the commentary team, wanting to get a first hand look at this match.

Michael Cole: Well... uh, this is unexpected, welcome Punk.

CM Punk: Thank you, Cole. I just thought it’d be best to scout the competition because it seems Swagger wants my briefcase.

King: Punk I have to ask you your opinions on TJ Perkins, because it seems like Swagger isn’t taking him seriously.

CM Punk: Well that is a mistake on his part. TJ is a very talented wrestler, competed on the Independent scene for a while, even competed against Nigel McGuiness who we just saw, and he knows just how good he was. I haven’t had the opportunity to face TJ, but I imagine when we do it will be a great match.

The referee rings for the bell...

Match Five: Singles
Jack Swagger vs. TJ Perkins


We’ve joined this match a couple minutes in, and it’s been Swagger in control since the beginning, working on the ankle of Perkins, and really upping his heel antics to get the crowd behind Perkins. Eventually, Swagger Irish-whips Perkins who rebounds and ducks a clothesline, but rebounds again BUT IS THEN PLANTED WITH A POWER SLAM! Cover... 1... 2... NO! Swagger doesn’t really care at this kick out as he thinks it’s only a matter of time before he picks up the victory. Instead of getting right back on the horse, Swagger lies beside Perkins and proceeds to do five push-ups which gets so much heat from the crowd. Swagger stands up and soaks the boos in, he then spots CM Punk at the announce desk and rolls onto the apron, and hops off it. The All American walks across to Punk, who stands up and meets him at the front of the announce desk. We can hear Swagger saying it’s only a matter of time before he gets that briefcase, CM Punk says costing him his match earlier was the worst thing he could have done. Punk then backs away and Swagger cockily asks why he’s running away, but then Punk points to the ring... AND TJ IS BACK ON HIS FEET AND SPRINGBOARDS ONTO THE TOP ROPE... AND SOARS THROUGH THE AIR... CORKSCREW SPLASH ONTO SWAGGER!

The crowd pop massively at the innovative move as TJ gets up quickly and pounds the top of the announce desk, before extending his arms and flexing every muscle in his body, looking extremely fired up. Punk sits back down and nods at what he just saw, while TJ picks Swagger up and rolls him into the ring. Perkins climbs onto the apron and then CONNECTS WITH A SLINGSHOT SOMERSAULT SENTON ONTO SWAGGER! And goes for the cover... 1... 2... KICK OUT! Perkins shoots a look at the referee, the fans can sense an upset here, or an upset in their eyes but not in Punk’s as he says that Perkins will be a top star while he’s on commentary. Perkins stands up and waits for Swagger to stand up and NEARLY TAKES HIS HEAD OFF WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK! Swagger is out on his feet, while Perkins runs the ropes and connects with A RUNNING CROSS BODY! Cover... 1... 2... NO!

Perkins climbs to his feet again, and picks Swagger up before kicking him in the stomach AND PLANTING THE ALL AMERICAN WITH A FRONT CHANCERY SUPLEX! TJ gets up straight away and stands with his back to Swagger... AND THEN CONNECTS WITH A MASSIVE STANDING CORKSCREW MOONSAULT! THE CROWD POP MASSIVELY FOR THE MOVE AS TJ STANDS UP AND FIST PUMPS THE AIR! The crowd respond with cheers and then they start chanting TJ’s name which gets a nod from him. He says it’s time to end it as Punk puts him over on commentary saying the Corkscrew Moonsault was amazing. TJ looks back at Swagger and drags him near to the corner, and then exits onto the apron and climbs onto the top rope. Perkins stands up on the top, showing incredible balance as the fans stand up as well waiting in anticipation at what TJ is about to do... PERKINS SOARS THROUGH THE AIR... 450 SPLASH... NO... SWAGGER ROLLS OUT THE WAY!

Swagger quickly gets up as TJ holds onto his gut and QUICKLY LOCKS IN AN ANKLE LOCK TO THE ANKLE HE HAS BEEN WORKING ON THE WHOLE MATCH! Punk says this is when TJ must show the heart that it takes to be a WWE Superstar, and he does his best, trying to pull himself to the ropes, but Swagger pulls him back! TJ looks like he is about to tap, but grit his teeth and the fans start a ‘TJ’ chant, trying to will him back into the match and then SUDDENLY TJ SHOWS ENOUGH STRENGTH TO ROLL THROUGH! This propels Swagger into the ropes, he stumbles backwards into TJ’s clutches... SCHOOL BOY PIN... 1... 2... KICK OUT! EVERYONE THOUGHT HE HAD IT! INCLUDING PUNK WHO IS PLAYING CHEERLEADER ON COMMENTARY! Both men get up rather quickly, but Swagger hits the first blow, kicking him in the gut and then GOING FOR THE GUTWRENCH POWERBOMB... BUT TJ AT THE TOP, PUNCHES SWAGGER A COUPLE OF TIMES AND HITS A HURRICANRANA AND GRABS SWAGGER’S LEGS... COVER... UPSET? 1... 2... 3!

Winner: TJ Perkins @ 7.23


TJ Perkins picks up the unlikely victory, Swagger has now truly ate his words as Perkins rolls out of the ring with Jack running towards him stopping at the ropes and looking extremely frustrated!

Michael Cole: TJ Perkins has just made Swagger look like a fool, TJ... on his debut has defeated a former ECW Champion and a very skilled wrestler!

King: Well Punk did say this guy was extremely talented, and we just saw why Punk is a fan of this guy.

Speaking of Punk, Mister Money in the Bank has walked around the ring and joins TJ on the beginning of the ramp, he grabs his hand and raises it in the air, gaining a good response from the crowd while staring at Swagger. Perkins and Punk then high five and TJ starts walking up the ramp, slapping a few hands on his way while CM Punk stares at Swagger and tells him that he didn’t even need to cost him the match, he lost it on his own.

Swagger screams in frustration as we fade away into the backstage area, where Josh Matthews is waiting for his cue.

Josh Matthews: Please welcome my guest at this time... he will face Randy Orton in a Street Fight in the main event... Shane McMahon!

And right on cue, Shane McMahon walks into the shot, wearing his usual Shane-O silver baseball shirt...

Josh Matthews: And Shane... can I get your thoughts on facing Randy Orton-

Shane McMahon: Let me stop you right there, Josh... may I?

Shane motions for the mic and Josh obliges and hands him it before skulking away, he faces the camera...

Shane McMahon: Orton I know you’re watching right now, so turn up the volume and listen up.

McMahon pauses...

Shane McMahon: You started this Orton, you started this months ago while my sister and I were co-GM’s, you couldn’t handle authority so you lashed out by punting me in the head and RKO’ing Stephanie. And that Orton, was the start of the worst mistake you could ever have made, and then you just consolidated everything by punting my Father in the skull.

Another pauses...

Shane McMahon: You made yourself a marked man, every friend of the McMahons, every McMahon now wants to see you lose that championship and simply get a damn beating! YOU DON’T MESS WITH THE MCMAHON’S! You hear me, Orton... it was the worst mistake you could ever make, targeting us.

McMahon breathes heavily...

Shane McMahon: You had the audacity... the god damn audacity to break into my home. You break into my home, attack me and then go on to destroy most of my house. And you know something, Orton... you’re extremely unlucky... because I could have pressed charges, and believe what I have planned for you tonight... you will wish that’s what I did.

Another pause...

Shane McMahon: But I didn’t because having you arrested isn’t enough... I am the one who will punish you for everything you have done to me and my family!

Pop while McMahon stares into the camera...

Shane McMahon: While I was in hospital after your attack... you punted my brother in law in the skull, RKO’d my Sister... AGAIN... and then kicked my Dad in the head... AGAIN!

Heat...

Shane McMahon: Like you said Orton... I’m the last McMahon standing, which means I’m the only one that can do something about you. I know you have The Undertaker to deal with but listen up, listen to what I’m about to say because I don’t want any excuses like you were too busy with ‘Taker... in a few a minutes I’m going to that ring for our match...

Pause...

Shane McMahon: And all the pain... all the frustration that you’ve put my family through, the fact that you put my Father and Brother in law are in hospital... my sister now has neck problems because of you... and all of this has built up... and it’s all going to come out in a few minutes.

Pop...

Shane McMahon: You better be ready Orton, because tonight I’m gonna’ kick your ass all over this arena and show you why you shouldn’t mess with the McMahons... see you out there.

McMahon drops the microphone and stares into the camera for a few extra seconds before walking away as we fade away...

... Where Randy Orton is watching on a television set with the WWE Championship across his shoulder, he breathes in heavily with the vein popping at his temple before turning around and leaving the locker room as we fade to a commercial break.

{Commercials}​

A few moments of silence pass by before...

‘HERE COMES THE MONEY...’

*HERE COMES THE MONEY...*​

The Los Angeles crowd react with a solid pop as the son of Mr. McMahon, Shane McMahon walks out onto the stage. He does a smaller version of his little dance before fully focusing on the match ahead and Randy Orton. Shane-O begins to walk down the ramp and shakes his arms, loosening up before the match.

Michael Cole: This is Shane McMahon’s opportunity to get some revenge for his family after all the terrible things that Randy Orton has done to them.

King: Orton has done some serious stuff to them, punting his father, RKO’ing his sister but now he has to deal with a very angry Shane, who has proven before he can cut it with the WWE Superstars.

McMahon slides into the ring, and simply turns to the stage, bounces on the spot waiting for the WWE Champion.

‘I HEAR VOICES...’

*VOICES...*​

Shane doesn’t have to wait long as the WWE Champion, Randy Orton slowly walks onto the stage with the title draped over his shoulder. The crowd boo him relentlessly but he simply ignores them, staring down at his opponent.

Michael Cole: Randy Orton looks extremely focused, he has took out nearly all of the McMahon family apart from one, Shane McMahon.

King: That could happen tonight, I don’t want it to – but it could.

Orton continues to walk down the ramp but SUDDENLY DROPS THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP AND WE SEE SHANE MCMAHON EXIT THE RING AND MEET HIM ON THE RAMP, WHILE THE REFEREE QUICKLY RINGS THE BELL.

Main Event: Street Fight
Randy Orton vs. Shane McMahon


The two of them trade shot after shot, each of them giving as good as they are getting, but it’s Orton who manages to get a couple of unanswered shots in, before RUNNING SHANE-O INTO THE RING POST... BUT SHANE TURNS THE TABLES AND HE LAUNCHES THE VIPER INTO THE POST! Orton falls to the mat and holds his head but Shane dives on top of him and lands closed rights one after another. The crowd react to Shane beating Orton up with huge cheers, eventually Shane climbs off him and walks over to the barricade. Shane then climbs onto the top of it, he manages to balance with the help of some fans helping him to stand up BEFORE WAITING FOR ORTON TO GET UP... AND CONNECTING WITH A FLYING CLOTHESLINE FROM THE BARRICADE!

The crowd are on their feet as Shane stomps on Orton a couple of times before walking around the ring to the timekeepers desk and grabbing one of the chairs before launching it over the top rope and into the ring. He’s not done however, he looks underneath the ring and pulls out a Kendo Stick, and he does the same, sliding that into the ring, underneath the bottom rope. Shane-O again, isn’t done, he walks around the ring, stops at the other side and lifts the apron up, and pulls out a Trash Can before throwing that over the top rope. Shane’s at the opposite side of the ring to Orton, and slides into it, seeing Orton is about to get up on the outside, he launches forward AND GOES FOR A BASEBALL SLIDE... BUT ORTON SIDE STEPS... AND CONNECTS WITH A POWERFUL CLOTHESLINE!

Shane lies on the mat as Orton leans on the apron, regaining some energy before setting off around the ring, and grabs the top of the announce table, before whipping it off and ripping the television monitors out. But suddenly Shane comes out of nowhere and dives on the back of Orton, clubbing him forearm smash after smash, before turning him around and sliding him into the ring. Shane follows him quickly, Orton sits up on the mat and sees Shane picking up the Kendo Stick and spinning it around in his hand, The Viper even backs away, and gets on his knees, begging Shane not to hit him with the Stick, Shane walks forward, but hesitates for a split second AND RANDY ORTON TAKES ADVANTAGE... LOW BLOW!

The Apex Predator then stomps around Shane’s body, inflicting pain on every body part. After Orton is done, he picks his opponent up, and Irish-whips him before planting him with a Power Slam! The Viper stands up quickly and walks around the ring before picking up the Kendo Stick. The Viper walks back to Shane who climbs to his feet, Orton swings for Shane’s legs but McMahon hops over the Stick, The Viper tries again this time going for the head but Shane ducks and then hits Orton in the head with a closed right and then proceeds to connect with the OMac Combination to a huge cheer. Orton falls to the mat while Shane picks the Kendo Stick up and HITS ORTON OVER AND OVER... VENTING HIS FRUSTRATIONS AS HE HITS HIM... BUT THEN ORTON MANAGES TO ROLL OUT OF THE RING. Orton stumbles over to the corner of the barricade, but Shane slides out as well AND CLOTHESLINES ORTON OVER THE BARRICADE!

Shane climbs over and as he does so Orton climbs to his feet and backs away into the crowd, Shane follows him but The Viper turns around and kicks him in the stomach quickly before PLANTING HIM WITH A DDT ON THE FLOOR! Orton climbs on top of Shane and pounds his head over and over and WE THEN SEE THAT SHANE IS BLEEDING! The WWE Champion picks Shane up and drags him around the arena, walking towards the stage through the crowd, they begin to walk by the production system until Shane elbows him in the gut and LAUNCHES HIM INTO THE WALL! The people on top of the wall look down as Orton holds his forehead, while Shane climbs on top of him and pounds his head. Eventually, Shane picks Orton up and drags him further along but Orton breaks away and shoulder thrusts Shane onto the production table WHICH MEANS HE LANDS ON A NUMBER OF BUTTONS... AND THE LIVE FEED GOES AWAY... STATIC.

Eventually the feed comes back and Orton is dragging Shane to the end of the production area and we now arrive at the staging area, Orton throws Shane off the platform and he lands on the concrete next to the stage. Orton climbs down he throws Shane onto the stage and climbs up himself, BEFORE PICKING HIM UP AND SMASHING HIS HEAD INTO THE TITAN TRON! Shane stumbles around into Orton’s clutches and is then Suplexed ON THE STEEL! Shane is now on the part where the pyrotechnics usually blast off from, and Orton spots the pyrotechnic platform at the other side of the stage, he walks over to it and climbs onto it, the man who operates it informs him to back off and not touch anything. Orton simply ignores him before pushing him out the way and the man falls off the platform. The fans are behind Orton tapping him on the back and shouting abuse as he stares at Shane. The referee tells Orton to stop, it’s too much BUT ORTON PUSHES THE BUTTON ANY WAY AND WE HEAR A FIREWORK GOING OFF... WE QUICKLY CUT TO THE STAGE WHERE SMOKE IS FADING AWAY... BUT SHANE HAS MANAGED TO AVOID THE BLAST... AND WE SEE A REPLAY WHERE HE DIVED TO THE SIDE... AWAY FROM THE BLAST!

Orton steps off the pyrotechnic and storms over to Shane, he picks him up but Shane breaks his grip and kicks him in the gut. Shane then jogs down the ramp with Orton in toe before launching him into the ring. Shane-O slides in after him and picks up the Steel Chair... and CONNECTS WITH A LOT OF CHAIR SHOTS TO THE BACK OF ORTON... WHO EVENTUALLY SCRAMBLES AWAY AND GETS TO HIS FEET... BUT IS LEVELLED WITH A SHOT TO THE HEAD! Orton is knocked out as Shane drags him into the corner, he positions him facing the opposite ropes, leaning on the ropes. Shane picks up the Trash Can and puts it in between the bottom rope and second rope, placing it in front of Orton’s face before walking over to the opposite side of the ring and climbing the top rope. Shane then GOES COAST TO COAST... AND CONNECTS... THE TRASH CAN SMASHES INTO ORTON’S FACE!

The crowd pop largely but Shane doesn’t go for the cover, it’s not about the win, it’s about inflicting pain on Randy Orton. Shane drags Orton by the legs over to the opposite side of the ring and rolls him out, before rolling him onto the announce table, Shane wipes the blood from his head and breathes heavily, looking around the arena at the fans who are chanting his name. Shane-O climbs onto the apron and steps into the ring, he climbs the turnbuckle... AND BREATHES HEAVILY... BEFORE GOING FOR... NO... CODY RHODES APPEARS AND PULLS MCMAHON DOWN FROM THE TURNBUCKLE... BEFORE CONNECTING WITH CROSS RHODES! Ted DiBiase is in the ring too and picks Shane up as Cody goes to Orton, and PLANTS HIM WITH DREAM STREET! Cody helps Orton into the ring and Orton falls on top of Shane, still knocked out from the Trash Can hit... 1... 2... 3!


Winner: Randy Orton @ 8.43

The crowd boo relentlessly as Orton and Legacy are the victors, the two of them pick Orton up who seems to have found his feet, the referee hands him the title belt to which he hands to Ted DiBiase.

Michael Cole: Shane had this match, he had it won until Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase appeared.

King: I know, it’s disgusting, Shane was so close to getting revenge for his family.

Suddenly, Orton gets that look in his eyes... he backs off into the corner as Shane turns onto his stomach and begins to stand get to his knees, he’s on all fours, head dangling and Orton senses an opportunity, The Viper coils... BEFORE SPRINGING FORWARD... PUNT... WAIT... THE LIGHTS GO OUT... BACK ON... UNDERTAKER IS WHERE SHANE WAS! The crowd go wild as Undertaker reaches up and grabs Orton by the neck and gets to his feet, but is blindsided by Cody Rhodes as Ted DiBiase and Randy Orton quickly slide out of the ring. Unlucky for Cody Rhodes though as ‘Taker picks him up and PLANTS HIM WITH A CHOKE SLAM!

Michael Cole: Shane McMahon has disappeared but The Undertaker has just sent a message to the WWE Champion!

King: Orton was going for that punt but ‘Taker appeared and thwarted Orton’s plan.

Michael Cole: And thank god for that. We’re sorry to say ladies and gentleman, we have ran out of time and we’ll see you next week for another episode of RAW. Good night.

The last image is of Orton and Ted backing up the ramp, staring at Undertaker who stands above Rhodes as... we... fade... to... black.

Re: C3K Presents: WWE 2009 - The Fear That's In Your Eyes

As you can expect I just had to take some time to recover after reading it the first time; the doctors managed to successfully resuscitate me.

Starting things off with Taker is a bold, but the right move and I you told me that you were having some difficulty with this promo but like I said to you before I think you did a really good job. I haven't ever written anything for him before and I can imagine that he is a total wanker to try and write promos for. I think though the key is trying not to make it too cheesy and going off on loads of tangents, which you didn't. You got his mannerisms right I'd say and what he was saying sounded pretty accurate as you made sure to include his obscure descriptions of stuff. I thought Orton would come out after the Rest in Peace line. It is important that you referenced the fact that these two have a history and Orton was one of those people that tried to make a name for themselves at Taker's expense, like Taker was referring to earlier in the promo and most likely had Orton in mind. At this time Orton is really THE guy on Raw and you made him look like it because of how he was able to hang with The Undertaker on that promo. Orton delivering the Rest in Peace line is interesting as well, I sensed the similarities between Taker's part and Orton's part which is nice how you had them playing off each other. Legacy attacking was no surprise and Shane looked like a don coming down and making the save like that. I'm a fan of Orton having enemies at every corner because when he does defeat them all it will make him even stronger. Good start to the show matey (Y)

Orton going mental at Legacy was expected and now the cracks start to show in Legacy. I noticed how Rhodes didn't want to take any shit and mouth off to Orton; keep that little situation brewing pls.

Really strong match between Punk and Regal; the two have history and chemistry in the ring so a match between them was always going to be good. The counters in this match were crazing as both of them seemed to have an answer for almost anything the other had to offer. Including a few of Punk's indie moves were a good touch to the match as Regal didn't really know how to reply to them. I really thought that Drew and Nigel were going to be make an appearance at some stage in the match. I might have missed something last week but I'm not sure I understand just yet why Swagger cost Punk his match. I know that we all want Regal and Rey to go at it again but I think it does suck that Punk has to eat another loss because of it. I hope you turn things around for him and when he and Swagger do have that match I do hope that Punk wipes the floor with him. Rey getting feisty at the end was pretty cool, I like it when Mysterio gets angry and more aggressive.

:lmao at Flair trying it on with Maryse. Interesting match for Judgement Day though, I can see whoever the 3rd Diva is taking both of the titles just for lolz.

Really good win for Drew and Nige, but can you clear up what their official name is? Because at one stage they were the Merciless Roundtable and then the Ruthless Monarchy :lmao not sure if you noticed that. Knocking off former champions like The Colons does them a massive favour going forward. They did look really good and pro in the way that they were on top for most of the match and just the way you had them work away on both Carlito and Primo was really well described. You made them look good because everytime The Colons started to get some offence in they were cut off straight away. Really good night for the Brits so far tonight which is a good thing.

pale punk ass bitches :lmao Dat PG.

I don't really understand why Beth came out during this match because when her music played you made it seem like literally no one cared. Like Maryse didn't even lose the match because of it... it actually seemed like it was helping her that Beth was out there. Maryse did look like a beast in this match though and I'll give you credit for that. That kick sounds nasty and there is no way that Mickie will be kicking out of that. I'm interested to see who wins the tournament because I would have previously listed Mickie as one of the favourites but she has just lost to Maryse so putting her in would make no sense to me. :lmao at Beth calling Maryse's title a toy. This Divas feud is gaining ground and the power struggle is becoming more and more obvious each week. Unifying the belts is the right thing to do though.

Okay here are the answers I was looking for earlier from Swagger. I see you're going with the classic route of dickhead heel underestimates the rookie later on with Perkins.

Well MVP and Kennedy have the potential to be one of the best teams ever in my opinion. I hope that you really do take the ball and run with it with these two. The potential here is endless. Heel or Face these guys can be huge.

I'm a massive fan of The Miz and I always have been so I'm glad that he is starting to get that singles push in your thread. The microphone has always been his strong point and I'm glad you entrusted him with this time to speak. A feud with Michaels will be huge for him and really propel him forwards like his feud with Cena irl around this time did. As for the match with Mysterio I would have preferred to see Miz in control for most of it given that it would have given him a chance to look pretty strong as well as fitting more in tune with the whole Ultimate Underdog gimmick of Mysterio. I was a little confused as to what happened to Miz in the whole aftermath of this match as I thought he might as well tried to have made a statement and helped Regal's gang beat down Mysterio, but I guess he just stayed out of the way. This was a really nice brawl mate, but I think it could have ended with just something a little more impactful than Regal throwing Rey into the steps... like a Regalplex on the floor maybe? I always think that just when a brawl like this takes place something big and defining should end it unless it hadn't properly got started. I can see the IC and Tag Team title matches turning into a Winner Takes All kind of thing in a 6-Man Tag but I don't know. You've done a great job of making these 6 seem very important on Raw though in this show.

Welcome to Raw, TJ Perkins! I was expecting something else from him if I am being honest ;) but even though Swagger will argue that Punk's presence put him off in the match, this was still a clean win for Perkins. I thought you were going to job him out at first but it was good to see he hung in there and let off some pretty unique offence as well. I had to look him up to just see some of those moves and they would look awesome in a WWE ring. It is bringing in new faces like this that make your thread your own and you've gone like a month and a half thread time and there are already loads of things different to real life WWE at this time and I applaud you for that. I am a lot more invested in the Punk/Swagger rivalry now and I'm looking forward to seeing some more of Perkins as well bro.

I was really on it for this promo from Shane. The promos tonight have been really good and I'd say this is the pick of them. Really intense stuff to get everyone hyped for the main event.

This starting off how it did was the right move to do as the main aim here is to just make Shane look like a credible threat in a match with Orton. Shane getting in some big hits at the start was good because it would have really gotten the crowd involved in the match, literally with the clothesline over the barrier. I see that you're going away from the PG in this match with the blood. I think that blood does add to this match if it is going to be the last in the whole Orton/McMahon saga. I like the uniqueness with the static because of them ruining the picture. You literally made it seem like that these two wanted to kill each other, which is brilliant in terms of a feud like this because I remember back and that is what it seemed like. The chair shot to the head would have been huge and the fans would have gone mental for that... it seems that Shane is trying to ruin his own mother's political career here :lmao The Coast to Coast had to be hit in this match and I can imagine Orton selling it like a champ. It's good that you mentioned that it wasn't about winning because otherwise Shane could have just won the match right there and then. Him going for it again was a good touch but Legacy coming down was expected. I'm sure Orton won't be happy they didn't stop the Coast to Coast the first time though. Undertaker popping up was predictable at the end and I'm happy he got back at Legacy for earlier and repaid Shane for the save at the start of the show. I can see tensions rising in Legacy next week as I'm sure Rhodes wouldn't have liked eating that Chokeslam after Orton and Ted fleed. Nice end to the show, making Taker look strong heading into JD.

I really enjoyed this show mate, you get better and better with every one. The matches were of a really good quality and the promos were even better. You've created some good characters and advanced the existing ones really well. Judgement Day looks loaded and I can't wait for that. Nice one man (Y) <3

Re: C3K Presents: WWE 2009 - The Fear That's In Your Eyes

JAM's Review​
I didn't expect you to start out the show with an Undertaker promo, that just never happens, but you made this work. You were a bit repetitive at times but I liked this 'Taker promo. But I think the segment as a whole really picked up when Orton came out. What he had to say was pretty spot on and was the perfect reply to 'Taker's earlier statement. I was wondering why Cody and Ted weren't out with Orton and we know why, ambush! It was pretty badass that Shane came in for the save there, definitely adds to the match he'll have later with Orton. Was rather shocking when you had Ted and Cody no-sell Shane coming in though, leaving Orton. Hope that's addressed later on. The opening segment was really good, if it were a real show, it would've sucked me right into the program and really make me want to watch it for the rest of the night.

Ohh that was interesting, Cody standing up to Orton huh? I hope you don't break up Legacy yet though. I feel like you're gonna have Orton get rid of Legacy himself or you'll have Legacy be the reason he finally loses the belt if ever the time came to break them up. But yeah, don't break them up yet.

I, for one, didn't really like that we had Rey on commentary. I know it was his time to express his thoughts but I think a simple backstage segment where he is mentioned watching from a monitor would've sufficed. Punk/Regal was a really good match. I'm glad that you gave it some good detail. It was cool that you had Punk pulling off some of his indy moves as I think he should use them more often. I was extremely confused as to why Swagger would interrupt this match but I guess it's all about the MITB briefcase, fair enough. Swagger/Punk should be a good match and Rey/Regal II should be good too.

Ohhh damn, Flair got owned by Maryse! Haha! But anyway, I feel like you can swerve us and have whoever is joining Maryse and Beth just win the whole thing. Ohwell, storylines for the divas division is always a step in the right direction.

Tag team match was another solid one! I love the teams involved but was certainly leaning towards RM to win this one. The Colons are no pushovers though so it was a good win for RM. The tag team division is just on fire on RAW, much more than Smackdown, but all in all, the tag team division as a whole is on fire. FINALLY! Kudos to you for that. :lmao at Funaki and Yang. I think this was a good place to place a comedy segment but then turn it into a meaningful one with the champs. This tag team match is gonna be great, I can tell already!

Oh boy, a divas match that gets ten minutes of action? Haven't seen that in a while. Again, kudos to you for making the divas division relevant again. I think its gotta be said that the 2009 divas were still pretty decent, so that helped you out a bit. You've actually made me care about the divas now, interesting to know who the third woman will be.

Swagger with some mic time was needed cause I don't think his interruption was enough to really start off this feud with Punk over the briefcase. MVP and Kennedy as a tag team? Hmm, I guess you have nothing planned for them at the moment so I guess this is fine. But I'd rather have them as singles competitors, especially Kennedy. He'll be a star if you push him. I'd like to actually seem him as a smartass face, that would be entertaining.

Strong words from Miz here. He's definitely a good character and having him engage in a feud with HBK, that's a big one. It could propel Miz right into superstardom just by hanging in with HBK. I'm a fan of the Miz so I'm glad he's getting a push here. The match was really picking up with Rey and Miz but having Regal and his cronies attack I think was a good touch here. Having Miz not join in also adds to the fact that Regal and his stable are very dangerous. CRYME TYME BABY! This brawl was pretty awesome but it kind of ended abruptly. If this happened on TV, I would think that Rey somehow gave Regal a signal that he was legit hurt, but I don't think that's the case here. But yeah, the brawl just ended kind of sudden for me but it was still good though.

TJ PERKINS! I've seen some of this guy's stuff and he's really good. Doesn't surprise me that you went the upset route with this for some reason. But only good things can come from this TJ Perkins signing. I'm hoping for a crusierweight division return! RAW will be my favorite if you do that :D As for the Shane promo, it was pretty good as well. I liked the line where he said having Orton arrested wouldn't have been enough. I expect an all-out brawl for this one.

What a main event this was. I was surprised at how much Shane dominated the match though. The spots you had in it were very creative with that whole static thing in the production table. You can always expect something high risk when Shane is in a match, so I was just waiting for that elbow to be dropped, Shane didn't disappoint. Took Legacy long enough to get involved and that was it. Does make Orton look a little weak needing help to beat Shane but this was a raging Shane so that may have had something to do with it. UNDERTAKER! He starts and ends the show, gotta be a record for 'Taker appearances. Interesting that you had Cody take the finisher, I'm sure Cody will not take this lightly.

Overall, I really liked this episode. I think it may be my favorite episode you've produced. You had some high quality matches as well as your feuds advancing nicely. You've made the tag team division and the divas division relevant once again and I can almost believe it if they main event a show. The 'Taker/Orton feud has been good and causing major problem for Orton already. Can't wait to see what unfolds next week! (Y)

Re: C3K Presents: WWE 2009 - The Fear That's In Your Eyes

WWE Superstars
14th May, 2009
Los Angeles, California


The announce team of Michael Cole and John Bradshaw Layfield welcome us to the show, but we quickly cut to the ring where two men and one women are stood. The woman speaks first, she introduces herself as AJ Lee and introduces the two men beside her Daniel Bryan and Kaval. She hands the microphone to Bryan who says that they have travelled all over the world, but it’s all been leading up to this moment, their debut in the WWE. He hands the microphone to Kaval who says with this threesome, the fans are guaranteed to see some action, and to bring out their opponents. The fans greeted this segment with respectful cheers, but that led to boos when their opponents came out.

Match One – Tag
Daniel Bryan & Kaval /w AJ Lee def. Charlie Haas & Jamie Noble @ 8.54
This match was basically done to showcase the talents of Daniel Bryan and Kaval, and with Charlie Haas and Jamie Noble on the other side, the foursome created a pretty exciting and entertaining match. AJ took up cheerleading duties on the outside, while Bryan and Kaval hit some high impact moves from their arsenal, at one point though – Noble and Haas did manage to isolate Kaval and work on the leg until he got the hot tag to DBryan who came in and took it too both men. Eventually, they managed to get the win after Bryan locked in what the commentators referred to as The LeBell Lock and Noble tapped out pretty quickly.

---

We now head to the RAW Rebound, where we see The Undertaker and Randy Orton have a confrontation at the beginning of the show, and it all falls apart when Legacy attack The Deadman, but then he is saved by Shane McMahon. We then see Randy Orton yelling at his cohorts backstage, and telling them that they better hold up their end of the bargain later tonight. In the main event, Randy Orton and Shane McMahon’s fight ends up in the parking lot, and Rhodes and DiBiase appear to help Orton. The Viper RKO’s McMahon onto the hood of the car before dragging McMahon to the arena and punting him in the head.

We now head backstage where Josh Matthews is waiting, he introduces his guest as the WWE Women’s Champion, Beth Phoenix. He asks her if she has a preference who she faces at Judgment Day, alongside Maryse. She responds by saying she honestly doesn’t, he doesn’t care because it won’t make a difference, when she steps in the ring at Judgment Day, she is going to become the Unified Women’s Champion and she also can’t wait until she gets her hands on that blonde Barbie doll, Maryse.


Match Two – Singles
Katie Lea def. Gail Kim to advance to the Finals of the Divas Tournament on Monday Night RAW @ 9.18
This was a pretty long Divas match, and with the two in the ring they gave it there all to get the crowd involved and put on a show. It was a back and forth match, Katie Lea taking advantage in the early going but Gail makes a come back and looks like she is about to win, she goes for Eat Defeat but Katie counters into a roll up and picks up the victory. Katie Lea advances to the finals on RAW, and will face Melina or Michelle McCool for the chance to compete in the triple threat at Judgment Day.

---

Backstage, it’s time for the final interview of the evening and Josh Matthews welcomes Dolph Ziggler to the interview set. Josh asks him how he felt about competing at Judgment Day and how he feels about facing Jeff Hardy tonight. Dolph tells him that at Judgment Day, he becomes WWE United States Champion. He says it’s his destiny as he was disrespected on RAW, so he thought why should he be respectful on SmackDown. In the main event tonight, I take my rightful place against the best, and I will defeat Jeff Hardy tonight, and make sure I have all the momentum heading into Judgment Day.

The Judgment Day promo is shown.

Main Event – Singles
Jeff Hardy def. Dolph Ziggler @ 16.05
The crowd were extremely hot for this match and this helped the wrestlers put on a great main event, the crowd were very much pro Hardy but Ziggler gave it his all. Dolph looked as though he could win this match at some points, but Jeff using his experience managed to fight back, and in the end it was the challenger for the World Heavyweight Championship that won the match, taking all the momentum heading towards Judgment Day, but Ziggler should be extremely pleased with his showing here tonight, he showed he can hang with the best, but we end the show with Jeff Hardy on the top turnbuckle.

WWE SmackDown
15/05/09
Los Angeles, California

~ SmackDown begun this week with a bunch of referees in the ring, instructing Chris Jericho to leave his seated position in the ring as the show has just begun. But Jericho doesn’t budge, instead he orders the referees to back off. They oblige but Y2J isn’t done speaking, he addresses the crowd and calls himself The Best in the World, and that the Best doesn’t take incompetent refereeing lightly. He points at the referee that missed his leg on the rope, and says that he should be fired, and he isn’t leaving this chair until Theodore Long comes out and grants him entry into the World Heavyweight Championship match at Judgment Day. Jericho sat and sat, getting impatient until someone did, indeed, come out, but it wasn’t the SmackDown General Manager, it was Matt Hardy instead. Hardy came down to the ring, and pulled up a chair, and put it next to Jericho, who looked at him with pure disdain. But Hardy then proceeded to tell the crowd that he doesn’t particulary care about Jericho’s problems, but he was the victim of a gross oversight by the referees, just as they missed Jericho’s foot on the ropes, they also missed Jeff Hardy hitting him in the head with an illegal Steel Chair. In the midst of the complaining, eventually Theodore Long came out and informed that the referee has already been spoken to and he agrees that they should get a second chance, and since he doesn’t want the show to be held up much longer, he is making a match... a tag team match, playa. A rematch from last week, if they win then they will be inserted into the match at Judgment Day.

*COMMERCIAL BREAK*

In the opening match of the night, The Brian Kendrick and Ezekiel Jackson defended their WWE Tag Team Championships against The Lifeblood of Extreme. Momentum shifted between the two teams throughout this match, Kendrick spent most of the time on the outside, leaving big ‘Zeke to use his strength, and eventually Kendrick and Jackson managed to isolate Richards from his partner. A few minutes later and Richards managed to break free and get the tag to Dreamer, and it looked as if we would have new champions until Dreamer was low blowed by Kendrick while the referee was distracted. After the match, Kendrick and Jackson started beating up Dreamer, but Richards made the same when he slid into the ring with a Kendo Stick. Dreamer and Richards then stood in the ring while their rivals made an escape, and they started telling them they were still coming for those titles.

*COMMERCIAL BREAK*​

Back from the commercial break, we are in Theodore Long’s office where he is rifling through some papers, that is until Layla and Tiffany walk into the office. He stands up quickly, walks around his desk and greets the two divas. They refer to the conversation they had after SmackDown last week, and say they thought of an idea, that Teddy should hire and assistant. He likes the idea, Tiffany puts over her experience on ECW but Layla says that’s the reason that ECW isn’t around anymore. Long says that he will have a test for them next week, both of you will make a match, and then the crowd will vote on who will become my assistant. The two divas look at each other with disdain before leaving.

It’s time for an interview and that’s where Brie and Nikki Bella now come in, SmackDown’s newest interviewers, they introduce the World Heavyweight Champion, John Cena who gets a massive cheer from the crowd. He puts over Jeff Hardy as an opponent before saying that Jericho and Matt should stop complaining and then says that tonight they’ll beat them again. The Twins ask him if he thinks he can beat Jeff at Judgment Day. He is about to respond when Jeff Hardy walks into the shot. He asks John the same question, and Cena responds by saying he thinks he can, just like Jeff thinks he can beat him, but Jeff tells him he doesn’t think – he knows. The two men stare off, the two most popular stars on SmackDown as the fans conduct a duelling chant of CENA – HARDY.

The second match of the night determined who would join R-Truth, Dolph Ziggler, Kofi Kingston and Evan Bourne in the United States Championship Gauntlet at Judgment Day. It was between Kane and John Morrison, and the match was a back and forth match, but in the end John Morrison picked up the victor after Christian interrupted and cost Kane the match, getting revenge for last week.

*COMMERCIAL BREAK*

After the commercial break, we’re backstage where Christian is walking down a corridor with a huge smirk on his face, pleased with what he’s done to Kane. He stops in his tracks when he sees Edge, the two of them stare at each other for a few seconds before Edge asks Christian what the hell he is doing. He says that you don’t mess with or try to anger Kane, Christian replies by telling him that he knows what he’s doing. Edge says he doesn’t think he does and Christian simply tells him that he should focus on Big Show and he’ll focus on Kane.

We now see Matt Hardy walking through the halls when he sees Gregory Helms glance at him and shakes his head before turning back to his phone. Matt takes exception to this and walks over to him and asks what the hell is problem is. Helms tells him the two of them, the three of them, Jeff included, used to be the best of friends, but Matt wrecked all of that when he attacked his brother. Matt says he doesn’t care because he’s going to become the World Heavyweight Championship at Judgment Day. Gregory says that Jeff will become the champion at Judgment Day, simply because he is better than Matt. That doesn’t sit well with Matt as he slaps Gregory right in the face, grabs him and launches him into a production box before walking away.

In the third match of the evening, Shelton Benjamin took on former tag team partner and friend, Charlie Haas. The duo put on a solid match, but in the end it was Shelton Benjamin who picked up the victory with PayDirt, gaining entry into the United States Gauntlet Match.

*COMMERCIAL BREAK*​

The Judgment Day promo is shown...

After the JD promo, we’re backstage where Evan Bourne and Kelly Kelly are standing, and Kelly tells him that she really enjoyed last week. The two’s smiles are cut short when Mike Knox walks into the scene with flowers that are cut up and flattened, Knox tells her that he found these flowers in the trash last week, he says that he tried to save them, but he couldn’t. Evan stands in front of Kelly, and Mike tells him that he should have kept out, because Kelly is his, and once he gets rid of him, he’ll have Kelly to himself.

The next match of the night was between The Big Show and Jamie Noble. Vickie Guerrero was nowhere to be seen and Show took all his frustrations out on Noble, beating him throughout the match and ended up winning with The Knockout Punch.

After the match, Show wasn’t done with Jamie, he grabbed him and started punching him and stomping on him, before picking him up for a Chokeslam, but Edge sprinted down the ramp and slid into the ring, and Speared Big Show. Edge backed away, not bothering to help Noble up, he’s just focused on Show.

*COMMERCIAL BREAK*​

Backstage, we’re in the parking lot where Vickie Guerrero has just arrived, she climbs out of her car, presses down her outfit before walking into the arena, looking rather displeased.

This match was to determine the final competitor to enter the United States Championship gauntlet and was between Mike Knox and Christian. Knox dominated for most of the bout, inflicting enormous amounts of pain on each body part, until Christian made a comeback and looked as if he would pick up the victory until Kane walked down the ramp, distracting him, Knox took advantage and attacked Christian, picking up the victory and quickly leaving the ring as Kane entered, he Chokeslammed him and told him he wasn’t done with him, not by a long shot.

*COMMERCIAL BREAK*​

Back from the commercial, we’re with The Big Show is wiping his head with a towel, getting the sweat off when Vickie Guerrero walks in. Show can tell she isn’t happy and asks her what is wrong, Vickie responds by going on a rant about how Show put her contract on the line, and how if he loses then that means that Vickie is fired. She orders him to speak to Teddy Long and get this stipulation voided. Show says don’t worry, he’ll beat Edge but Vickie continues to complain until Show takes her orders and skulks away to Theodore’s lair.

We’re backstage with The Bella’s who introduce their next guest, Bobby Lashley. The Dominator walks into the shot and smiles at the two Divas, they question him on last week and Vladimir Kozlov but Lashley doesn’t get a chance to respond as Kozlov attacks him from behind and sends him careening into the wall. Kozlov kneels beside him and informs him that next week they’ll compete one on one, in a No Holds Barred match.

In a Judgment Day preview, Evan Bourne and Kofi Kingston put on a show for the fans in the arena, with a back and forth match which had R-Truth and Dolph Ziggler on commentary. The two of them arguing through out about the Gauntlet and in the midst of the arguing, Kingston rolled out the way of the Shooting Star Press and managed to hit Evan with the Trouble in Paradise. Kelly helped Evan out of the ring as the fans applaud both men for the match.

*COMMERCIAL BREAK*​

The Hart Dynasty promo is shown...

We come back from the commercial and Big Show is practically begging Theodore Long to void the stipulation in his and Edge’s match at Judgment Day, but Teddy is having none of it, informing Show that he agreed to the stipulation. Show continues to ask, for Vickie’s sake and Teddy says he hopes that Edge does win, so we don’t have to hear from Vickie again.

In the main event, Chris Jericho and Matt Hardy were seeking revenge for last week and duly got it, as the team of Jeff and Cena didn’t co-exist well, they competed well but their team work let them down as they were probably scouting each other for their match at Judgment Day. But now, the singles match is now a Fatal 4 Way match as Jericho connects with the Codebreaker to Jeff and pins him for the three count. The show ends with Matt and Jericho standing tall, knowing they are in the main event at Judgment Day.

Re: C3K Presents: WWE 2009 - The Fear That's In Your Eyes


WWE Monday Night RAW

18/05/09


We begin the show with the RAW General Manager, Ric Flair who comes out to the ring. He informs everyone that Shane McMahon suffered an injury last week and will be away from RAW for a while, which means Randy Orton has achieved his goal of eliminating the McMahon’s from RAW. But, they will be back, and he’s sure that they will be after Orton’s blood. And Flair has to make a decision, a number of Superstars have came to him and told him that the Punt is too dangerous, and it gives Orton an unfair advantage, and Flair agrees, he says that Orton has gone too far with these punts, and thus, as of right now, the punt is now banned. Right on cue, Randy Orton’s music plays and he walks out from the back, looking unhappy. He tells Flair that banning the punt is just admitting defeat, he tells him to name every Superstar that complained but Ric says no, that would just put them in danger but Orton tells Ric that right now, he is in danger. Orton threatens Flair that if he doesn’t unban the move, then he and Legacy will eliminate Flair from RAW. Flair says that is impossible because he’s dealt with worse than Orton, The Viper says that even though the punt is banned, he has no reason to stop using it. Flair informs him that he does, and that is if he does use it then he will be stripped of the WWE Championship. Flair then tells Orton that tonight he will be in a match, against a new face on Monday Night RAW, Mr. Kennedy.

*COMMERCIAL BREAK*

Back from the commercial break, it’s time for the first match of the evening and it’s between Nigel McGuiness and Shad. The two of them put on an entertaining match, Shad looked like he had it in the bag in the early going before a distraction by Drew McIntyre allowed McGuiness a method back into the match. After McGuiness controlled for a bit, Shad fought back into the match and looked as though he would pick up the victory but again Drew McIntyre got onto the apron, but was then taken down by JTG, but that distraction was enough for Nigel to hit a low blow and then roll Shad up for the victory.

The two Brit’s back up the ramp, staring down at Cryme Tyme as we head backstage where Josh Matthews is waiting with a microphone, he introduces his guest as the WWE Divas Champion, Maryse. The sultry Diva walks into the shot, wearing her usual attire with the belt on her shoulder, she rubs it before giving Josh her full attention. Josh asks her opinion on the triple threat at Judgment Day and who out of Melina, Michelle McCool Gail Kim and Katie Lea she’d rather be the third member. Maryse replies by telling Josh that she thinks it was the correct decision, we need to know who the dominate Diva is and that is me, and she doesn’t care who the other third member is, because she’s better than every Diva on this brand.

*COMMERCIAL BREAK*

The Judgment Day promo is shown...

We’re back on RAW where The Miz is already in the ring, where he has a new talk show, The MizTV, the set is black and blue with two chairs in the middle of the ring. The Miz introduces everyone to MizTV and tells everyone to sit back and enjoy the most exciting talk show in history, and orders the crowd to welcome his guest, The All American American Jack Swagger. The last ever ECW Champion walks down the ramp and into the ring, before grabbing a microphone. He asks Miz why he wanted him on the first edition of his talk show, The Miz responds by telling him that he needs to tell him something. A lot of people are after Punk’s briefcase, not just him, and just because he costs Punk a match doesn’t mean that he should get a chance to take the case. Swagger says it’s not just that, he wants that briefcase because he deserves it, he is a the last ever ECW Champion and a future WWE Champion, and the quickest way to that is the Money in the Bank briefcase. The Miz tells Swagger than he agrees with him that it is the quickest way, and The Miz has a goal of being WWE Champion before WrestleMania, and to do that he will need that briefcase, so he’s extending a challenge to CM Punk, Swagger interrupts him and tells him that if anyone is gonna’ get a shot then he is. Suddenly the duo stop arguing as TJ Perkins’ music plays and he walks down the ramp with a ‘PUMA’ tee on, he gets a good response from the crowd and picks a microphone. The Miz informs him that he wasn’t booked on this show and should leave, but TJ tells Miz that he was in the back and was hearing everyone speak about how they want the Money in the Bank briefcase, he says that he beat Swagger last week, but Swagger quickly inserts that it was a fluke. TJ says he can prove it again, but right now, he wants a shot at the Money in the Bank briefcase. Swagger and Miz both say that TJ hasn’t been here for a month and already he is demanding stuff. Suddenly, CM Punk comes out to a huge pop from the crowd. He enters the ring and grabs a microphone while Miz complains that his show is being ruined. Punk says that he respects TJ Perkins, but he doesn’t respect The Miz or Swagger. CM Punk says that his World Title reign was cut short by Randy Orton, so if anyone is cashing in this briefcase, then it is him on Orton, getting revenge, but he has no problem defending it against anyone. The four men glance at each other before suddenly the RAW General Manager, Ric Flair, appears on the titan tron to a huge pop. He says he admires Punk’s fighting spirit and says that every man in that ring has impressed him over the last few weeks, and thus, at Judgment Day, there will be a four corners match, featuring the four men in the ring, where CM Punk will defend the Money in the bank briefcase, but right now, clear the ring because we are going to have a match, it will be TJ Perkins facing the Money in the Bank holder, CM Punk. The four men glance at each other as stage hands start dismantling the ring as we fade to commercial.

*COMMERCIAL BREAK*

We come back just as the referee rings the bell and we get some back and forth chain wrestling to begin, TJ Perkins showing he can hang in there with the likes of CM Punk. Punk eventually takes advantage hitting a couple of high hitting moves such as a suplex and back body drop. But Punk makes a mistake and climbs to the top rope, and misses an elbow drop which allows TJ to take control, Perkins hits a number of high flying moves and nearly picks up the victory with a Standing Corkscrew Moonsault. TJ climbs to the top rope, looking to end it but Punk gets to his feet and dives onto the ropes, knocking him off balance. We get the ending to the match when Punk connects with his running knee/bulldog combination, before connecting with the GTS to pick up the victory. After the match, they get a standing ovation for the match as Punk and TJ shake hands in the middle of the ring.

We now cut backstage where Cody Rhodes, Ted DiBiase and Randy Orton are in talks. Orton says how dare Flair ban the punt, Rhodes and DiBiase reassure him that he doesn’t need the punt to defeat The Undertaker. Orton tells them to stop patronising him, he knows he can defeat ‘Taker, he’s done it before, he says that Flair will rue the day he crossed him, and he informs them that he has a plan for Flair next week.

*COMMERCIAL BREAK*

We rejoin RAW where Rey Mysterio walks out to the ring, wearing jeans and a flashy shirt, dressed for the occasion this week in his home town. He walks down to the ring and thanks them for their support and applause. He says that since it’s his home town, he wants to do something special, his family are in the arena tonight, so he wants them to come into the ring. The camera searches for his wife and his two children who then are helped over the barricade by security, and Rey holds the ropes open for them. Rey brings them into the centre, and tells everyone that it’s because of these three people that he can come out and put on a show for everyone, he loves competing but being away for so long can take a toll, and that’s why he loves coming to his home town, because he can spend more time with his family, he says without them he wouldn’t be a former World Heavyweight Champion and wouldn’t be the current WWE Intercontinental Champion.

The crowd begin applauding the Mysterio family, but then to huge heat – William Regal and his stable, The Ruthless Monarchy, Drew McIntyre and Nigel McGuiness. The terrible trio climb into the ring, Nigel and Drew in ring attire while Regal is in a suit, Rey steps in between them and his family. His daughter hides behind her brother while Rey’s wife tries to shield them from the looks of the three men. Regal has a microphone and tells Rey that this is really touching, but he needs to tell his family something, that at Judgment Day, he is going to end Daddy’s career and become WWE Intercontinental Champion, and when he does so he is reviving the prestigious WWE European Championship. Regal finishes by turning to Rey’s family, and walking towards them, Rey steps in front but Regal throws him to the side, he stands in front and as Rey tries to get to him, Nigel and Drew restrain him. Rey tries to break free as Regal kneels down in front of his daughter, and whispers to her, that at Judgment Day, her Daddy will be turned into a cripple, and will lose the title. She buries her head her mother’s side as Regal climbs to his feet and looks at Rey’s wife, he says she is beautiful, but that beauty will fade when he has to look after Rey every day and night when he is confined to a wheel chair.

Suddenly, from out of nowhere, Rey’s wife slaps the taste out of Regal’s mouth! The fans respond with a huge pop as Regal smirks, he says that she just made a huge mistake, he then sends a signal to Drew and Nigel, and they slam Rey into the ground before proceeding to beat him up. Rey’s wife and children watch, his daughter nearly in tears as they continue to beat him up, but then Cryme Tyme sprint down the ramp to huge cheers! They slide into the ring and tackle Drew and Nigel, they take them down, pounding them with punches before they manage to slide out the ring, meanwhile Regal makes a retreat and Cryme Tyme and Rey’s family help the Intercontinental Champion up. Suddenly, the RAW General Manager walks out to woos, Ric Flair tells everyone that William Regal needs to learn his place, and he should know not to mess with people’s families, he has seen enough of family feuds on this show for a while, and thus he is giving Rey and opportunity. He says that Rey will probably want some measure of revenge for what Regal just did and thus he informs Rey that he will pick the stipulation for their match at Judgment Day. Rey picks up the microphone, breathing heavily, he tells Regal that to stop his cronies getting involved, and because of the fact he just wants to make Regal hurt, and get revenge, the two of them will compete for the WWE Intercontinental Championship, inside... a... Steel...Cage! Regal rants at Rey while Rey checks his family is okay as he fade to a commercial.

*COMMERCIAL BREAK*

We return to RAW and get a brief recap of what went down before, we then see Michelle McCool and Melina are in action as they both make their entrances. Before the match starts, the WWE Women’s Champion Beth Phoenix and WWE Divas Champion Maryse walk down to the ring separately, they sit on opposite ends of the announce table as the match begins. This ends up being a pretty good match, back and forth action while the two champions bickered on commentary about who was the best champion. In the end, it is Melina progressing to the finals next week.

We head backstage where Josh Matthews is waiting, he introduces his guest as the WWE Champion, and The Viper, Randy Orton. He walks into the shot, not looking to pleased, arms folded as the fans give him solid heat. Matthews tells him that he heard him say that he had plans for Flair, and he would like to know what that is. Orton says that he’s not going to tell anybody, not these fans and not Josh, because he doesn’t need to, he is the WWE Champion, the top player on this brand. He says that Ric shouldn’t have banned the punt because he’s caused himself a world of pain, and it will come to frutition next week, but right now he’s focusing on Mr. Kennedy. He says that he has a title match against The Undertaker in two weeks time, and facing Mr. Kennedy is a distraction, one he doesn’t need, and it’s Flair’s fault. We now fade away into the commercial.

*COMMERCIAL BREAK*

We return to RAW, and it’s time for the other man in the main event tonight to get a word in, Josh Matthews introduces his guest as Mr. Kennedy and he soon walks into the shot. Josh asks him how he feels about facing Randy Orton, and this must be a huge opportunity for him. Kennedy says that is indeed a huge opportunity, and about damn time, he sarcastically says he knows he’s been injured but he believes that this is his chance to insert himself right in the WWE Championship picture. He says facing Randy Orton is his ticket to that championship, and in a little bit, I will show why I am the future of RAW and take my rightful place as the WWE Champion... because his name is Mr. Kennedy... Kennedy.

Job time! Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase make their way down to the ring where Kung Fu Naki and Jimmy Yang are waiting. DiBiase and Rhodes make short work of the other team, they make sure to inflict as much pain as possible on the Yang and Fu Naki, The finish comes when they beat them up so badly that they both can’t move, and they add insult to injury by connecting with Dream Street and Cross Rhodes for the victory. Legacy leave the ring, looking rather pleased with themselves as we fade to the back.

Backstage, Rey Mysterio is walking with his little daughter, he stops and introduces her to CM Punk and TJ Perkins who are talking backstage. They say Hello to her, and wishes Rey luck in his match at Judgment Day before the two of them leave, Rey’s daughter waves at them as they leave, and once they are around the corner, Rey is attacked from behind by Regal and The Ruthless Monarchy! Nigel and Drew grab Rey’s daughter and hold her, as she tries to get to her Dad, but she can’t break free. Regal climbs on top of Rey and pounds his head with fist after fist, before picking him up and throwing him into the wall, head first. Rey drops to the floor, and Regal locks in The Regal Stretch! Regal wrenches the hold before CM Punk, TJ Perkins and Cryme Tyme make an appearance, Regal sees them coming though and The Ruthless Monarchy make an escape. Rey’s daughter kneels beside him and we can see tears rolling down her eye, at being forced to watch her Dad been thrown head first into the wall and being put in the Regal Stretch. We can see blood trickling down Rey’s chin, as it seems his lips have been busted open and it starts being more than a trickle, Punk and TJ cover Rey’s daughters eyes while Shad and JTG help Rey to his feet, referees appear and help as well. The fans are in disgust at what Regal and his group has just done as we fade to commercial.

*COMMERCIAL BREAK*

It’s main event time and the WWE Champion, Randy Orton makes his entrance first, without his Legacy cohorts, he climbs into the ring and raises the title above his head. Soon enough, Mr. Kennedy makes his entrance, getting a good pop from the crowd and climbing into the ring. The referee calls for the bell and we’re off, to begin with we see some back and forth, solid wrestling until Randy Orton uses some underhanded tactics to gain the advantage, he then went through all of his signature moves, locking in a chin lock which eventually Kennedy would fight out of and look like he was about to pick up the win. But Randy Orton would battle back, countering Kennedy’s mic check and finish the match by hitting an RKO on Kennedy. Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase then join Orton in the ring for the celebrations, but the three of them then start beating Kennedy up.

The beating continues for a few seconds until the crowd begin cheering loudly as MVP sprints down the aisle, sliding into the ring and taking Rhodes down with a spear, Kennedy gets back to his feet and takes down DiBiase, the two teams of two brawl in the ring as Orton walks away with the WWE Championship in his clutches. He backs up the ramp, watching as the two teams battle, but suddenly the lights go out, and The Undertaker appears behind Randy Orton. Orton stumbles backwards, and backs away from ‘Taker who walks towards him, with the two teams still brawling in the ring, ‘Taker lifts the WWE Championship and extends it to Randy Orton. Orton continues to back away as Undertaker is sending a message to Orton! We fade to black, the end of the show, the last image being Undertaker holding the title above his head as Orton looks up at him.

Re: C3K Presents: WWE 2009 - The Fear That's In Your Eyes

RAW Review

Definitely loved Undertaker's mind games that he played on Randy Orton and I love that Orton and Taker's rivalry is being reignited especially now in 2009 in your story because in 2005 their rivalry was so great back when Orton was The Legend Killer but now Orton is a Viper and Orton is much more ruthless, much more dangerous than he ever has been and that could be a bad thing for The Undertaker but the thing Orton needs to understand, what Legacy needs to understand is that you can't kill what is already dead, and what DiBiase and Rhodes don't understand is that they can't beat what they don't understand, but DiBiase I think he would have more knowledge about The Undertaker than Cody could seeing as how it was DiBiase's father The Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase who brought The Undertaker into the WWE all those years ago back at Survivor Series 1990, so Ted since he is in Legacy, he would know all about Taker and so does Orton but Rhodes doesn't

Please can you have Taker play more mind games with Orton, Rhodes, and DiBiase because it is just too entertaining, because he is already in Orton's head

The Ruthless Monarchy making their presence felt by attacking Rey Mysterio especially right in front of his little daughter, just despicable, utterly heinous and I hope Regal and his merry band of misfits get what's coming to them courtesy the RAW GM Flair

Loved Punk and Perkins and Cryme Tyme coming to Rey's rescue

Love Mr. Kennedy and the fact that he is facing Orton, here is to hoping he beats Orton tonight because that will end up propelling him straight to the WWE Championship some day soon

And Legacy beating Yang and Fu Naki sends a strong message for sure

Loved Punk and Perkins' match and the promise Punk made that if Orton retains against Taker, he is going to cash in on Orton to get revenge on Orton for punting him in the skull last year at Unforgiven 2008 costing Punk the World Heavyweight Championship

And as for the Divas Championship tournament, praying Melina wins

Re: C3K Presents: WWE 2009 - The Fear That's In Your Eyes

WWE SmackDown
22/05/09​

We begin tonight’s SmackDown with a promo and the man who is walking down to the ring is none other than Jeff Hardy. The popular Superstar takes the microphone and says that in a couple of weeks, he will become the World Heavyweight Champion, a championship that was stolen from him when his brother cost him it at the Royal Rumble. He says at Judgment Day, he doesn’t care who he pins, he will become the champion. The crowd approve of this, but someone from the back doesn’t, his brother Matt Hardy, he makes his way down to the ring and picks up a microphone. He says it’s typical of Jeff to take the spotlight and tell blame everyone for his loss of the championship. Jeff retorts by telling Matt that it’s pretty hypocritical for him to say this as for the last few weeks Matt has been complaining about being held back by the guys in the back. Matt doesn’t have a response, as Jeff is about to continue until the third challenger in the Fatal 4 Way match makes an appearance, that man’s name is Chris Jericho and he walks swiftly down the ramp and into the ring, wearing a pretty nice suit. He says that these two can continue bickering, because while they are arguing, he is focused, focused on the Fatal 4 Way match and for that reason, he is going to become World Heavyweight Champion. He says that like Jeff Hardy, his championship was ripped away from him at Survivor Series last year, and at Judgment Day, he gets his championship back. And to continue the clusterfuck of a promo, the World Heavyweight Champion himself, John Cena comes out to a huge pop. He walks down the ramp and slides into the ring, grabbing a microphone. He tells everyone that they can all come out here and complain about brothers betraying brothers, being held back or championships being stolen from you, but he got pretty sick of it in the back. He says he came out to tell everyone that at Judgment Day, there is only going to be one winner, and at the end of the night, Cena will still be the World Heavyweight Champion. Matt gets in Cena’s face and tells him that he is clueless, the odds are stacked against Cena, but Cena simply says ‘you want some... come get some’. And that’s exactly what happens, as Matt and Cena start brawling, only for Jericho and Jeff to start fighting each other. Eventually the faces clear the ring, but John turns into Jeff who goes for a Twist of Fate, but Cena spins out and lifts him up for an Attitude Adjustment, but then Jeff squirms out it and we witness a tense face off as we fade to a commercial break.

*COMMERCIAL BREAK*

We come back from the commercial break as Theodore Long is talking on his phone to someone, but suddenly Layla and Tiffany walk into the room. The two lovely Divas stand patiently, waiting for Long to finish his call. He finally finishes, and asks them if they’ve decided on the two matches. Tiffany goes first, and tells Theodore that she has decided on making a huge match, a personal match, it will be Evan Bourne taking on Mike Knox. This gets a hearty cheer from the crowd, while Long nods his head, and mouths okay, that’s good. Layla butts in and says she has one which will top that, a match which will pit two former friends together, Matt Hardy, will take on the man he attacked last week, Gregory Helms. Again, the crowd react with a good pop, and Teddy says that both Divas have came up with huge matches for this edition of Friday Night SmackDown. And for that reason, he can’t decide on who will become the new General Manager Assistant. The two Divas complain about how he should make a decision, and eventually he interrupts them and informs them that he will leave it to the WWE fans, after the show, a poll will be put up on wwe.com, and whoever gets the most votes will be announced next week. Layla and Tiff’ nod and Tiffany brown noses by saying great idea, Layla scoffs and walks away, and Tiffany does the same eventually.

The first match of the evening is a pretty amazing tag team bout, featuring four of the men involved in the United States Championship Gauntlet at Judgment Day. R-Truth sat on commentary as he watched four of the men he faces, the team of Kofi Kingston and John Morrison taking on the duo of Dolph Ziggler and Shelton Benjamin. Like I said, the match was pretty good, momentum shifting between the two teams, but eventually Ziggler and Benjamin got on the same page and Benjamin showed why he was a top tag team wrestler, working well with Dolph to isolate Morrison. But eventually Morrison managed to break away and get the hot tag, and Kingston came in hot, taking it to the two men, and nearly getting the win with Trouble in Paradise but Ziggler ducked and rolled Kingston up, and put his feet on the second rope, picking up the win.

Dolph rolls out the ring while Kingston just realizes what has happened, he welcomes Dolph back into the ring but he ignores him and celebrates, while Shelton and Morrison are brawling on the outside. The commentators put over how everyone in the gauntlet seems to have a problem with someone, and they can’t wait until Judgment Day. R-Truth stays silent, shaking his head at just about everything.

*COMMERCIAL BREAK*

SmackDown returns and Jamie Noble is already in the ring, and eventually “Just Close Your Eyes” plays and Christian makes his way onto the stage. Captain Charisma looks at the ground and whips his hood off, and starts walking down the ramp. Jamie bounces on the spot in the ring, but suddenly Kane bounds down the ramp and attacks Christian from behind. The crowd boo as Christian is flung forward into the ring apron, Kane then rips Christian’s special silk hoodie off, he grabs him by the head and launches him into the steel steps! The crowd boo relentlessly but suddenly Noble slides out the ring and tries to help Christian, but Kane is too much for him, Kane fights him off and throws him into the barricade! Props for trying Jamie, come again next time. Kane turns back to Christian who is just getting to his feet, but he turns around into Kane, and has a hand wrapped around his throat! Kane stares into the eyes of Christian, Captain Charisma looks petrified as he is hoisted up and Choke Slammed on the mat!

Christian’s head hits the mat with huge force, Kane stands above him, laughing manically and then starts to walk up the ramp away. But then he stops, and seems to be listening to something, he says something and turns back. He stops before Christian and grabs him, hoisting him up and putting him on his shoulders! Captain Charisma is out of it, and can’t fight back as The Big Red Monster walks up the ramp with his rival on his shoulder. We follow Kane who steps off the stage and walks backstage via the side of the tron. But we don’t follow backstage, instead we cut away to a video.

The Judgment Day promo is shown...

When we come back, we get a replay of what just happened and the commentators put over how crazy Kane is and they hope to get an update on whatever is happening to Christian soon. But in the mean time, they need to take a commercial break.

*COMMERCIAL BREAK*

The show returns, but it’s a chaotic return as The Rated R Superstar, Edge is running around backstage, stopping anyone who will listen, asking them if they’ve seen Christian. He continues asking people, but then bumps into The Big Show. Edge says he hasn’t got time to deal with him right now, Big Show interrupts him and says that he should, because Edge needs to meet him and Vickie Guerrero in the ring later on. Edge doesn’t respond as Show brushes past him, but then he presses on in his search to find his best friend as we fade to the arena.

It’s time for the third scheduled match of the evening, second that will actually take place as Vladimir Kozlov makes his entrance, looking rather pissed off and soon his opponent joins him in the ring, none other than Bobby Lashley. This match is a No Holds Barred match and it was just a plain fight. The two men battled for ten minutes, neither giving an inch, resorting to weapons, fighting through the crowd, before arriving back in the ring and brawling then too. Not much in the way of technical wrestling, but it was just a good old fashioned brawl. Eventually, Kozlov looked like he was about to end it as he picked up a Steel Chair and launched at Lashley’s head but Bobby ducked, kicked him in the gut and planted him with The Dominator on the fallen steel chair!

*COMMERCIAL BREAK*

We come back from the commercial, and are following Edge backstage where he is still searching, asking people questions about where Christian is. Eventually, Maria comes up to him and tells him that he saw Kane come out of a room a few minutes ago, Edge frantically tells her to show him. The cameras follow as the two of them run down the corridor, they turn a corner and Maria stops, and says in there. Edge opens the door slowly and walks in, Maria follows him but the camera waits, we suddenly hear screaming and Maria runs out, and the camera goes in, wanting to see what is happening, and all we see is a dark room, with a lighted area in the middle. And Christian is laying on a wooden bench, and we see that it is in fact, a Torture Rack, he’s blooded and bruised, Edge stands beside him, taking everything in and then tells the camera man to go get help. Kane was torturing Christian.

We return to the main arena and it is silence, but soon enough, Gregory Helms makes his entrance and is followed by Matt Hardy who makes his. The two former friends go at each other, Helms puts up a good fight but he is no match for the new and improved Matt Hardy, Matthew shows off his arsenal, with some new moves sprinkled in before finishing the match off with a Twist of Fate and picking up the victory!

But Matt isn’t done, after he’s done celebrating, Matt dives back to Helms and clubs him in the back, over and over, before picking him up and throwing him shoulder first into the ring post! The Dark One then slides out the ring and grabs a Steel Chair! He slides in and stands above Gregory, he raises the chair above his head but suddenly Jeff Hardy slides into the ring and rugby tackles Matt to the ground and pounds him over and over with right fists, but Matt manages to slide out from underneath Jeff and get out of the ring. Jeff welcomes Matt back into the ring, but Matt keeps his distance, and Jeff then checks on his friend, Helms.

*COMMERCIAL BREAK*

SmackDown returns from the commercials and making their entrances are The Big Show and his current girlfriend Vickie Guerrero. Vickie takes the microphone and says that Big Show acted prematurely by putting her contract on the line and she says that she wants Edge to come out here, right now and agree to disregard the stipulation. She turns to the stage and eventually “Metalingus” plays and out steps The Rated R Superstar, Edge. He walks down to a huge pop and climbs into the ring, and grabs a microphone. He says that there is no way that he will allow the stipulation to be dropped, because this is his chance to get rid of Vickie. Show steps in and says that if Edge agrees to take Vickie’s stipulation out of the equation, then he will put his own contract on the line, just so that his girlfriend can stick around here in the WWE. Edge says that he has a proposition for Big Show, next week on SmackDown, if you can defeat an opponent that I pick, then I’ll disregard the stipulation and put my own contract on the line at Judgment Day, instead of Vickies. But if you lose, then both of your contracts will be on the line. Show agrees and tells Edge that it doesn’t matter who he picks next week as his opponent because he’ll simply knock him out, and put him through hell, just like Kane has done to Christian. This sets Edge off the edge and walks towards Show but gets a Knockout punch to the face! Edge falls to the mat and is out of it as Show stands above him and Vickie Guerrero laughs at him.

The Hart Dynasty promo is shown...


*COMMERCIAL BREAK*

Back from the commercial break, we get an update on the condition of Christian and we’re told he is being taken to hospital to attend to his injuries. Meanwhile, Evan Bourne makes his entrance with Kelly Kelly by his side, and then Mike Knox walks down the ramp, and slides into the ring. This match doesn’t get started though, as Knox runs around the ring towards Kelly, but Bourne stops him only to be launches into the barricade and then the steel steps. Knox continues to beat down on Evan, throwing him into the ring and hitting him with the Knox Out. Knox stands above Bourne, but Kelly climbs in and kneels beside Bourne who is looking worse for wear, Knox angrily picks her up and launches her into the corner, he walks over to her and grabs her face, telling her she made a mistake choosing Bourne over him. Referee’s rush the ring, and try to get Knox out, but he walks back over to Bourne and picks him up, and sends him into the ring post! Knox turns away and walks up the ramp, as Bourne sits in the corner, holding his shoulder while Kelly tries to help him.

We now head backstage where Josh Matthews is standing, and he introduces his guest as the United States Champion, R-Truth. He asks him what his thoughts are on the tag team match we saw earlier, and the beating we just saw. Truth says he frankly doesn’t care, all he cares about his defending his United States Title, and if that means watching all of these guys tear each other a part, then so be it. He says that the odds are stacked against him, and he doesn’t appreciate being forced into a match like this, but he is a fighting champion and will make sure he leaves the arena with the title.

*COMMERCIAL BREAK*

SmackDown returns and it’s time for the main event, where the World Heavyweight Champion, John Cena and Chris Jericho square off. This match doesn’t last long though, as Matt Hardy gets involved attacking the two with a Steel Chair, only for Jeff Hardy to come down to the ring and get himself a piece of the action. The four men brawl with each other in the ring as Theodore Long rushes the ring with security and orders them to be separated. Once they are separated, we fade to black with the end of the show.

End Show


WWE RAW
25/05/09

Monday Night RAW opens up tonight, not with a pyrotechnic display, no commentary, instead we are backstage where the atmosphere is light hearted as the RAW General Manager, Ric Flair is talking to his son, Reid Flair in his office. The crowd pop loudly, Flair’s wearing his customary suit while his son is in jeans and a normal black shirt. They talk amongst themselves until a Josh Matthews runs in frantically, he tells Flair that he needs to help, Ric says he is talking but Josh tells him that Legacy and MVP and Kennedy are fighting in the corridor. Ric tells his son to wait here, and Ric follows Josh out of the room, and down the hall, round the corner where the two teams are fighting, Randy Orton nowhere to be seen though. Kennedy launches Rhodes into the wall and he kneels beside him, punching him repeatedly, while DiBiase and MVP are trading punches on a table. Flair and a number of road agents step in and separate the two teams. Flair stands in between them, and in classic Flair way, tells them that if they want to fight so bad then they’ll get the chance later tonight, when Legacy, the three of them take on MVP, Kennedy and The Undertaker in our main event.

The crowd respond with a pop, Flair asks if the agents have got everything under control, and then walks back to his office, but Reid is nowhere to be seen. Flair looks around the room but then looks at the TV and his eyes widen. We suddenly cut to the main arena where the fans are booing as the WWE Champion, Randy Orton is on his way down to the ring, but he isn’t alone – he has Reid Flair in toe, Flair looks beaten and bruised before he suddenly is thrown into the barricade! The Viper grabs Flair again and rolls him into the ring, and slides in after him, Reid gets to his feet and turns around... right into an RKO! The crowd boo loudly as Orton stands above Flair, he then takes his Legacy t-shirt off just as...

“Wooooo” blares out which is soon followed my Ric Flair’s music and the 16 time world champion jogs out on to the stage. He points at Orton and rips his suit jacket off and throws it the ground, he reaches the bottom off the ramp until Orton frantically tells him to stay where he is. He says that if Flair comes any closer then he will punt Reid in the skull. Flair stops in his tracks and calls Orton a son of a bitch. The Viper tells Flair that it was a mistake to ban the punt, and if Flair has any sense then he will unban the move, because if he doesn’t, then he will punt Reid in the skull. Flair’s eyes widen with rage before shouting you want it unbanned, then you got it. Almost on cue, as Flair says that, Orton sprints forward and punts Reid in the skull!

The crowd boo mercilessly but then cheer as Flair slides into the ring and tees off on Orton with right fist after right fist, backing Orton into the ropes, and then Irish-whipping him, and then takes him down with a rugby tackle. Flair pounds on Orton but Orton turns the tables and stands up, before backing away into the corner, but Flair isn’t finished he runs up to Orton and hits a couple of knife edged chops! But suddenly, Orton ducks to his knees and low blows the dirtiest player in the game!

King says that this isn’t going to be pretty as Randy climbs on Flair and pounds on his face, over and over before picking him up and Irish-whipping him into the corner, Flair stumbles forward and is flipped over Orton’s shoulders! Flair stands up though but is met with a stiff clothesline! Orton exits the ring and picks up a Steel Chair and throws it into the ring, Flair climbs to his feet but is suddenly planted with a huge RKO! But Orton isn’t finished; he climbs to his feet, and grabs the Steel Chair... and wraps it around Flair’s neck! And suddenly stomps on the chair, crushing Flair’s throat and the former 16 time world champion writhes on the mat, holding his throat with the chair still wrapped around it... but suddenly Orton gets out of dodge as Mr. Kennedy and MVP sprint down the ramp, looking worn out from their brawl and slide into the ring. Kennedy checks on Flair as MVP welcomes Orton back into the ring, but Orton simply backs up the ramp, and we have to fade to a commercial break.

*COMMERCIAL BREAK*

RAW returns from the commercial break and ambulance staff are putting Ric Flair and his son into an ambulance, a few concerned wrestlers are watching as they shut the doors and drive away. The Superstars disperse, and the camera zooms in on the ambulance as it speeds off to the hospital. We then zoom out and see the WWE Champion, Randy Orton walking out onto the pavement, he watches the ambulance before turning around and smirking before walking past the camera.

It’s time for the first match of the evening and it’s between one half of the World Tag Team Champion, JTG and one of his opponents at Judgment Day, Drew McIntyre. The match goes for a good amount of time, each man getting equal amount of offense before their match at Judgment Day, but eventually the match ends when JTG goes for Da Shout Out but Nigel gets involved and clotheslines JTG, and then we witness a brawl between the two teams, but suddenly William Regal slides into the ring to help his stable mates. The three of them start to gain the advantage until the WWE Intercontinental Champion, Rey Mysterio’s music plays and the little man makes a beeline for Regal. Regal and The Ruthless Monarchy quickly make their escape, and back up the ramp.

But we’re not done, Mysterio grabs a microphone. He tells Regal that last week, he crossed a line, he forced my family into situations that I would never want them to be in, you made my daughter cry and you made her watch as you beat me up backstage. Rey says that at Backlash, in the Steel Cage, before I climb out of the cage and retain the WWE Intercontinental Championship, I’m going to kick your ass and get revenge for the terrible things you’ve done to me and my family.

*COMMERCIAL BREAK*

Monday Night RAW returns to the sound of “I Came To Play” and one of the men who will face CM Punk for the Money in the Bank briefcase at Judgment Day makes his entrance, The Miz gets a lot of boos as he walk down the ramp and slides into the ring. Dressed to compete, The Miz is handed a microphone and he waits for the fans to simmer down. The Miz begins by saying after this coming Sunday, he will be the holder of the Money in the Bank briefcase, and that means one thing, that he will soon be the WWE Champion. And not only that, after this Sunday, Shawn Michaels makes his return to the WWE, and when he does, The Miz will be waiting to injure him again. The Miz says that he was destined to be the WWE Champion, and he isn’t waiting, he will become Money in the Bank and cash it in, but as for tonight, he feels he needs to stay in top shape for Judgment Day, so he is extending an open challenge to anyone in the back for a match right now.

A few seconds pass by before “This Fire Burns” blares out to a huge pop as Mister Money in the Bank, CM Punk walks out with a light blue hoodie on and the briefcase in his hand. He has a microphone in his other hand and prepares to speak but The Miz questions why Punk would want to face him and lose before Judgment Day. Punk smirks and tells him that at least he is confident, he tells Miz that at Judgment Day this briefcase isn’t leaving his side, he doesn’t care that he’s facing three other men, he will successfully defend the briefcase, but tonight he, like The Miz, wants to stay in shape for Judgment Day. He calls for a referee to come down and soon enough a ref shows up, and the referee calls for the bell and we’re off.

This match lasted a good distance and really showed off Miz’ new aggressive style, Punk didn’t back down though and thought Miz to his limit. Eventually the finish to the match came when The Miz and Punk was trading blows in the middle of the ring, trading punch after punch but suddenly Jack Swagger sprints down the ramp and slides into the ring, he clobbers Punk from behind and then clotheslines The Miz. Swagger picks the Money in the Bank holder up and launches him over the top rope, and Punk falls onto the mat, feet first before falling face first into the barricade! The Miz gets to his feet and swings at Swagger but he ducks then kicks him in the stomach and connects with his Gutwrench Powerbomb! Swagger stands above The Miz but then TJ Perkins sprints down the ramp, getting a huge cheer as he slides in but Swagger sees him coming and quickly makes an escape.

Swagger backs up the ramp, smirking at the damage he has done while Perkins grabs a microphone. TJ tells Swagger that he is in a fighting mood tonight, and eventually challenges Swagger to a match later on. Swagger cockily shouts back that it’s on and he’ll prove why he is going to become the new Money in the Bank holder.

*COMMERCIAL BREAK*

We’re back from the commercials and the commentators confirm that later on it will be Jack Swagger and TJ Perkins, one on one, later tonight. We then head backstage where Josh Matthews is waiting, he introduces his two guests as Mr. Kennedy and MVP. Josh asks them their thoughts on competing in the six man tag team match later tonight, Kennedy takes the lead and says that he and The Undertaker have had history before, but this isn’t about us, it’s about teaching Legacy a lesson. He says that all these people want to see Orton, Rhodes and DiBiase get a beating, and that’s what’s just going to happen later tonight. MVP now chimes in and says that Orton is out of control on RAW, punting people left right and centre, and now putting Ric Flair in the hospital. He says that if The Undertaker can’t get the job done at Judgment Day, then he has no problem stepping up, Kennedy interrupts him and says it will be him stepping up after Judgment Day, the two friends then start to bicker between each other, which draws some laughs from the crowd as Josh sends it back to ringside.

It’s time for the finals of the Divas Tournament to determine the third member of the triple threat match at Judgment Day and it is between the two Divas of Katie Lea and Melina. The two women make their entrances but the match doesn’t begin because the WWE Women’s Champion walks down the ramp, and makes her way to the announce table, and we’re off... no we’re not... the WWE Divas Champion now makes her way down the ramp and round to the announce table. The two Divas sit on opposite sides of the announce table, and throughout the match, all they did was argue over who was better. Meanwhile, there was a match taking place, and it was quite a good one as Katie Lea put up a good fight against Melina, but in the end Melina was too experienced and strong, pinning Katie with the Primal Scream, and becoming the third member of the triple threat.

The two women on the announce table stand up, and hold up their belts as Melina glances at both, but then the two champions see that the other is doing the same, and they walk around the table, they both hold their titles above their heads and tell each other that they are the WWE Divas/WWE Women’s Champion. Suddenly, the two Divas are floored when Melina runs the ropes and suicide dives through the top and second rope. The crowd cheer loudly at the dare devil attitude of Melina as she picks herself up. She picks up both belts and lifts them up in the air as we fade to a commercial.

*COMMERCIAL BREAK*

We return from the commercial break the lights suddenly go out in the arena and the number one contender to the WWE Championship, The Undertaker appears on the titan tron, and it looks as he is in a grave yard. ‘The Deadman walks with his hood up, he faces the camera and says that this coming Sunday, Randy Orton faces the depths of hell, he says that Randy Orton’s Judgment Day is upon him. The Undertaker then turns his back on the camera, and the camera follows him as he walks, and we hear ‘Taker continuing to speak, saying that Randy Orton’s actions has brought the devil’s consequences down upon him, and at Judgment Day, he will pay with his WWE Championship, and eventually, his life. The Undertaker stops in his tracks, and the camera side steps him and focuses on a grave stone, which says on it – “Randy Orton – WWE Champion” and below it “Backlash 2009 – Judgment Day 2009”.

We return from the video and we’re backstage where the WWE Champion, Randy Orton has just watched the video on the television set in his locker. Standing behind him is his stable mates Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase. Orton turns to face them and asks them if they believe the audacity of The Undertaker, telling me that my title reign will end at Judgment Day. DiBiase says ‘Taker has been underground for too long, not enough oxygen to his brain, he’s obviously delusional. Orton says that they need to refocus, they’ve had a good night so far, getting rid of Flair, but now we have a six man tag team match. And going into Judgment Day, I want a victory. Rhodes and DiBiase nod as we fade away.

The Judgment Day promo is shown...

*COMMERCIAL BREAK*

Time for the penultimate match of the evening and it’s between the two men of Jack Swagger and TJ Perkins. The two men put on a good show, with each man hitting most of their signature moves but in the end it ended up with Jack Swagger getting his own back on TJ for the defeat he suffered a couple of weeks ago, by picking him up for the Gutwrench Powerbomb, but TJ reversed it into the Hurricanrana pin that put Jack away last time, but Swagger rolls through and rolls him up, before grabbing onto the ropes, getting extra leverage and picking up the victory. TJ kicks the ropes in frustration as Swagger quickly rolls out of the ring, a very good night for Swagger as he backs up the ramp, looking very good heading towards Judgment Day.

We now go backstage where Melina is in normal clothes and is walking backstage, she approaches the parking lot and says goodbye to Mickie James and Michelle McCool before exiting into the lot and approaching her car. She opens the back of her car and sticks her bag into it before she is suddenly blindsided by the WWE Women’s and Divas Champions, Beth Phoenix and Maryse. The two champions get some payback for earlier by picking her up and running her into the side of her car! The crowd boo hugely as the two divas stand above Melina, but suddenly Beth grabs Maryse and does the same, throwing her into the side of the car and leaving her two opponents down in a heap as we fade to a commercial break.

*COMMERCIAL BREAK*

It’s now time for the main event of the evening and in a rare TV match, The Undertaker takes part, teaming with Mr. Kennedy and MVP, taking on the whole of Legacy. For most of the match, Orton and ‘Taker didn’t partake in it, both men saving their strength for Judgment Day and that meant Kennedy and MVP spent most of the time as their legal men for their team, just like Rhodes and DiBiase did for Legacy. But the ending to the match came, when Rhodes had Kennedy in a sleeper hold, and Kennedy managed to break out and get the tag to The Undertaker and the fans reacted with a huge pop. While Rhodes tagged in Randy Orton, the two men who meet each other at Judgment Day went toe to toe, each man hitting each other with right fists, until ‘Taker started to get the better until DiBiase climbed into the match, but MVP met him and took him out with a clothesline over the top rope. With all the other men out of the match, that left Undertaker and Randy Orton and in the end it was The Undertaker who Tombstoned the WWE Champion and got a huge pop as he pins the WWE Champion.

We finish the go home show here tonight with The Undertaker on top, kneeing down next to Randy Orton and holding his arm out as the lights go out in the arena, and then we fade to black.

End Show


WWE SmackDown
29/05/09


We begin Friday Night SmackDown with a recap of what went down last week, including the main event where John Cena and Chris Jericho faced off, we saw Gregory Helms fail to defeat Matt Hardy and the continuation of the United States Championship situation. After the video package, we are greeted with the SmackDown opening video before swiftly cutting into the arena where Michael Cole and John Bradshaw Layfield welcome us.

To kick off the show, “Hunt You Down” blares over the PA system and one of the men involved in the World Heavyweight Championship match, Matt Hardy makes his way down to the ring. The Dark One, dressed to compete, slides in and waits for his tag team partner. Soon enough, “Break The Walls Down” hits and the fans react with boos as the other man involved in the title match, Chris Jericho walks down the ramp, he climbs into the ring and waits for his opponents. Justin Roberts steps forward, “and their opponents...” we have to wait a few seconds before finding out who their opponents will be before “ “ plays and the fans react with a good pop, as Daniel Bryan, Kaval and AJ Lee walk out, the commentators put them over from their time on WWE Superstars, and talk about their current rivalry with Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder. They also mention that this is a big step up and if they can even hang in with Hardy and Jericho then it will be a job well done.

The match kicks off with some chain wrestling between Daniel Bryan and Chris Jericho, and to Jericho’s shock, Bryan is the one who ends up on top with an arm bar, but Jericho with his experience manages to get to his feet. Jericho and Bryan put on a few minutes of back and forth action until Kaval gets the tag and being the fresher man he takes it to Jericho. Eventually Jericho gets the tag to his own tag team partner and Hardy and Kaval square off, and we get another batch of good wrestling, trading blows before Hardy and Jericho take advantage with quick tags. The two men work together but eventually start to argue over who is the better man and who will become the World Heavyweight Champion and that gives Kaval the opportunity to get the tag to Bryan. With AJ cheering them on, Bryan takes it to the legal man Jericho, Hardy tries to help but gets taken over the rope by Kaval, while Bryan manages to lock in the LeBell Lock. Suddenly, Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder sprint down the ramp, Ryder sprints around the ring and climbs onto the apron, while Hawkins hops onto the apron and hits Bryan with a kick to the back, picks him up and plants him with a DDT! Hawkins slides out the ring but he starts to back away but turns around right into a slap from AJ! Ryder rushes to Hawkins’ aid and the two men back away, knowing their work has been done. Meanwhile in the ring, Bryan is just getting to his feet before being planted by a Codebreaker! A great opening match, timed at 16 minutes gets the fans applauding, and eventually Hardy climbs into the ring and he and Jericho leave while Kaval climbs in and tends to DBryan as does AJ.

*COMMERCIAL BREAK*

SmackDown returns and the show is backstage where Brie and Nikki Bella are waiting and the two Divas introduce their next two guests... Chris Jericho and Matt Hardy. The two men walk into the shot, looking extremely sweaty, Brie and Nikki ask them how they’re feeling about their match and how they think they’ll do at Judgment Day? Matt goes to speak but Jericho cuts him off, out there I won the match and that means- he is cut off by Matt who says that if it wasn’t for him, he wouldn’t even be in a position to win that match. Jericho tells Matt to shut up while he is talking because he is looking at the next World Heavyweight Champion. Matt asks if that is true, and then pushes Jericho in the chest, Brie and Nikki make a quick escape while Jericho pushes Matt back. They look at each other for a second, and then dive at each other, throwing fists as they end up on the floor until some of the road agents appear and help separate them. Both men shout that they’ll be the new World Heavyweight Champion before we cut to the main arena.

And we throw to the main arena where Vickie Guerrero and Big Show are already in the ring. Vickie begins by saying her line, “excuse me” which no doubt gets a lot of heat, but then she continues by saying that last week, her boyfriend accepted a challenge, that if he defeats whoever his opponent is tonight, then Edge will put his contract on the line at Judgment Day, and that’s what he intends to do, so bring out his opponent. Vickie lays the microphone on the ground before “Hell Will Be Calling” and the fans react with a massive pop as Bobby Lashley appears, Show looks like he has met his match in the strength department as Bobby sets off his pyrotechnic and walks down the ramp. He climbs into the ring and gets himself pumped.

The match begins with both bulls circling, they finally lock up and in the beginning they are a match for each other, but with Lashley being the more athletic he managed to take the advantage, using his speed advantage to take Show down with quick fire clotheslines and shoulder blocks, before targeting his leg to take him down to the mat. But, with Vickie Guerrero at ringside, she got involved at so many times, just as Lashley was gaining momentum, Guerrero would get involved and stop it. It gave Show a chance to show what he can do, but eventually the referee had enough and ejected Vickie from the ringside. She protested but left eventually, but this left Show distracted and he turned around into a kick, and Lashley showed off a massive, massive show of strength when he hoisted Show onto his shoulders... and planted him with the largest Dominator in history! Vickie was at the ramp when she saw this, and took an absolutely fit, and now this means that Big Show will now have his contract on the line at Judgment Day as well as Vickie!

*COMMERCIAL BREAK*

We return from the commercial break and Theodore Long is in the middle of the ring, the boss of SmackDown dances in the centre before speaking and introducing two Divas, Layla and Tiffany. The two Divas walk out to SmackDown’s theme and both of them climb into the ring, they stand either side of the GM, waiting anxiously. SmackDown’s General Manager references the fact that on wwe.com there was a poll to determine who would be Teddy’s Assistant. He says he has the results right now, and they throw it to the titan tron where a graphic appears with Layla’s face and Tiffany’s face beside a graph... and the results come up... and Layla has won the vote to become the new Assistant! Layla celebrates by hugging Theodore Long, Long turns and says sorry to Tiffany, who congratulates Layla and leaves the ring. Long hands the microphone to Layla who says she is gonna’ do her best to put on a show for everyone and that starts right now, because with Teddy’s blessing, she will make two matches. Teddy allows her too, and she first announces that The Rated R Superstar Edge will face Kane in the main event tonight which gets a huge pop, and then she announces that their will be a WWE Tag Team Championship match and that will take place, right now! Long applauds her decisions as “Man With A Plan” plays and the WWE Tag Team Champions, The Brian Kendrick and Ezekiel Jackson walk out, looking less than pleased.

They climb into the ring and TBK is handed a microphone, he gets in the face of Layla and questions if she is right for decision making as she obviously just made a terrible one, he says that she should do what the divas do best, and that’s get back in the damn kitchen! Layla suddenly slaps the taste out of Kendrick’s mouth and he stumbles back into the clutches of Jackson. Layla gets in the face of Kendrick, and says that for that little crack, this match is now an Extreme Rules match and their opponents are two men who helped create that match, and they are Tommy Dreamer and Stevie Richards! The crowd pop for Layla putting TBK in his place as “Man In The Box” plays and outcome Dreamer and Richards.

With Layla and Theodore safely out of the ring, the match can begin. It doesn’t take long before the weapons come into play in this match as Dreamer and Richards get extreme really quickly. But both Jackson and Kendrick show us that they can get extreme too though. Some notable spots in the match was Kendrick being superplexed on top of a steel chair by Dreamer, while Jackson and Richards were battling on the top of the announce table, with a wooden table beside it, and Jackson eventually Powerbombed Richards through the table! This leaves Jackson and Dreamer as the only two standing and eventually it’s Jackson who shows his strength, Powerbombing Dreamer on top of a trash can, and picking up the victory. Once Kendrick finds his feet, Jackson helps him and the two celebrate as we fade to a commercial break.

*COMMERCIAL BREAK*

We return from the commercial and we’re in Theodore Long’s office where he and Layla are talking. We join the conversation while Long is saying that he knew the WWE fans made the right choice as soon as Layla made those great matches, and the way she put Kendrick in his place was a good showing of what you’re gonna’ bring to things here on Friday Nights. Layla responds by saying she has a lot more up her sleeve to make this show great, with Teddy’s blessing of course.

We cut back to the arena where “No More Words” plays and the Charismatic Enigma, Jeff Hardy high steps onto the stage and sets off his pyro with his little routine. He makes his way down to the ring, high fiving fans on his way. Jeff Hardy climbs into the ring and grabs a microphone, he says that earlier on he heard Jericho and Matt Hardy say that they were gonna’ become World Heavyweight Champion at Judgment Day. He says they are wrong, and at Judgment Day, Jeff will become the champion, and get back his championship that was stolen from me at the Royal Rumble. Suddenly, “My Time Is Now” plays and outcomes the World Heavyweight Champion, John Cena, he slides into the ring and is handed a microphone. He says that Fatal 4 Way’s don’t favour the champion, but he’ll be damned if he loses this championship, he worked for this title and he’s not going to lose it, not to Jericho, not to Matt Hardy and not to Jeff Hardy. The two most popular stars on SmackDown go face to face before their opponents music plays and outcome Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins.

This was basically a game of one up man ship, Jeff and Cena trying their best to outdo each other, Ryder and Hawkins didn’t stand a chance against the two biggest stars on SmackDown. In the end, Cena hit Hawkins with the Attitude Adjustment and then Jeff went for a Swanton Bomb from the top and connected and picked up the victory. After the match, the two men went face to face again, but then are soon joined by Matt Hardy who slides into the ring and it is a three way brawl! But then Chris Jericho joins the fray, before Jericho slides in however, Matt Hardy manages to hit Jeff with a Twist of Hate before being planted by Cena with the Attidude Adjustment, but this meant Cena was distracted and Jericho connected with a Codebreaker, and on this night, it was Jericho standing tall.

*COMMERCIAL BREAK*

We are now backstage where Vickie Guerrero is going absolutely insane, throwing things around her room, breaking plant pots as Show sits with his head in his hands. Finally, Show gets up and stops Vickie, he says that she shouldn’t worry because at Judgment Day, he’ll defeat Edge and we’ll be cool. Vickie says that if he never agreed to it in the first place then we wouldn’t be in this situation, Vickie storms off and leaves Show breathing heavily.

The Hart Dynasty promo is shown...

*COMMERCIAL BREAK*

SmackDown returns and we see Jim Ross is in the ring, he starts by showing a clip of what happened last week, and it’s off Kane choke slamming Christian on the mat and dragging him backstage, and then later in the show, Christian is found in some sort of dungeon. We go back to the arena and Jim Ross says that he has Christian on a live video feed from his home, as he couldn’t be here tonight because of physical and emotional trauma. He throws it to the titan tron where Christian appears, his head bandaged up and wearing a light grey shirt in what appears to be his living room.

Jim welcomes Christian who responds with a nod, and we delve straight into the good stuff and Jim asks Christian if he can remember anything from last week. Christian takes a deep breath and tries hard, you can really tell he is struggling as he manages to say that the only thing he remembers is being Choke Slammed on the mat, and then waking up in a dark room, and was tied to something, he says that he felt his body being stretched and dowsed in petrol oil. Captain Charisma stops in the middle of saying that he could smell the petrol, he takes another deep breath and the fans respond with a Christian chant. Captain Charisma continues and says that he could barely breath because of the petrol, but then all he felt was pain in his head as he felt something slam on the top of it, and eventually the next thing he knew he was in hospital.

Jim says that he knows this must be hard to talk about, and he’ll wrap this up soon, but he asks if Christian agrees with many that he should have left things alone and not try to anger Kane. Captain Charisma says that he made a mistake by taunting Kane, but what’s done is done, he says he doesn’t regret it, because he hasn’t regretted a single thing in his career. Christian leans forward, he says that the doctors diagnosed him with a concussion and emotional trauma, but that isn’t going to stop him, he wants Kane one on one at Judgment Day.

J.R tries to talk some sense into Christian by saying that Christian is in no condition to compete, but Christian tells him that with the Peeps supporting him, he knows he can take on Kane and defeat him, and stop all of this so called demon talk. J.R says he can’t change his mind, so he wishes Christian luck and informs us that it’s time to end the interview but Christian stops him, he leans forward again to the camera and says that the match at Judgment Day, won’t just be any match, he wants to beat Kane at his own game, he wants to get revenge on Kane for apparently going to set him on fire, and for that reason, he’s challenging Kane to an Inferno Match this Sunday!

The crowd responds with a huge pop as we fade away to a video with Christian staring into the camera.

The Judgment Day promo is shown...

*COMMERCIAL BREAK*

It’s time for a six man tag match, with the special guest referee – R-Truth. On one side, you had Evan Bourne, Kofi Kingston and John Morrison and on the other side, Mike Knox, Shelton Benjamin and Dolph Ziggler. This was a faced past match, a preview of Judgment Day but the main talking point of this match came when the special guest referee, R-Truth, walked out on the match, the commentators wonder what’s up (pun intended) with Truth and his attitude recently. While the match continues with a new referee who sprints down the ramp, the cameras follow R-Truth backstage and he rips off his referee top and walks towards the parking lot, Theodore Long shows up and demands to know what is wrong with him, and Truth says that he is pissed off at the fact that he has been unfairly put in a gauntlet match at Judgment Day. Truth brushes past Long and exits into the parking lot before we cut back to the arena where the match is still taking place. The match continues until the ending when Evan Bourne goes for a Shooting Star Press but misses and is taking out by Benjamin with Paydirt who turns into Trouble in Paradise and the faces pick up the victory.

But we aren’t done, as the heels slide into the ring and we now witness a six man brawl, each man pairing off with another as the commentators put over the match at Judgment Day. The brawl continues as we fade away to a commercial break.

*COMMERCIAL BREAK*

After the commercial break, “Man On Fire” plays and The Big Red Machine walks down the ramp, the crowd booing, and Kane steps into the ring and grabs a microphone. Kane suddenly starts laughing demonically, and then says that if Christian thinks he can beat him in an Inferno Match then he’s suffered a lot more than I thought, but then he Kane suddenly says that he’ll face Christian at Judgment Day and in that match, he’s going to make Christian burn.

Now, “Metalingus” blares out and The Rated R Superstar makes his entrance, and once Edge slides into the ring, he referee rings for the bell. Most of this match consisted of Kane showing why he is so dangerous by putting Edge through hell, but with the fans backing him and Christian watching from home, Edge fought back and put it all on the line. The ending of the match and the show came when Kane was setting up for the Choke Slam, Edge broke his grip and smashed him with a huge spear but was about to drop the cover but suddenly Big Show appeared from out of nowhere and knocked Edge out with a huge punch!

After the match, Vickie directed traffic as Kane climbed to his feet, The Big Red Monster joined Show in a double choke slam before walking away, leaving Show and Vickie standing above The Rated R Superstar as we fade to black.
