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

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.

WWE Judgment Day
[Recap]
Date: May 31st, 2009
Location: Rosemont, Illinois
Theme: ‘Rescue Me’ by Buckcherry

The PPV kicks off with the usual amazing video package that the WWE usually puts together for big events like this. The theme of the video is consistent with the theme of the PPV as it’s very dark and eerie, focusing mainly on the WWE Championship and World Heavyweight Championship matches.

Once the opening video is completed, we swiftly shoot into the arena where we see it is packed with screaming fans, holding up various signs, and we pick out a couple of humorous ones before cutting to the commentators where Michael Cole and The King are the first to welcome us. They run down the card from the RAW side before throwing it over to the SmackDown commentators who do the same, and we are then informed it is the United States Championship starting things off.


WWE United States Championship; Gauntlet
Participants: Dolph Ziggler, Evan Bourne, Kofi Kingston, Mike Knox, John Morrison, R-Truth © & Shelton Benjamin

The crowd are extremely hot for this match and the referee calls for the bell as the first two competitors are announced, in the ring, facing each other are Evan Bourne and The Gold Standard, Shelton Benjamin, while Kelly Kelly is on the outside. The two men circle the ring, staring at each other, soaking in the atmosphere before going to lock up, but Evan ducks behind Shelton, he kicks Benjamin a couple of times before running the ropes... and baseball sliding through the legs of his opponent.

Evan gets up quickly and runs at Shelton but he sees him coming and goes for a Hip-Toss but BOURNE LANDS ON HIS FEET! Evan landed close enough to the ropes, so he uses them to his advantage, Spring Boarding off the second rope and CONNECTING WITH A CROSS BODY! The crowd cheer this, excited by the fast start, but it’s not enough for Bourne as he climbs onto the top rope, he waits for Benjamin to get up before SOARING THROUGH THE AIR WITH A SPINNING HEEL KICK!

...
... 1 ...
...
... 2 ...

Benjamin gets his shoulder up to a groan from the crowd while Bourne continues his momentum by picking him up, but Shelton retaliates with an elbow to the gut, The Gold Standard spins behind his opponent and plants him with a Russian Leg Sweep!

Evan sells it well and Shelton eventually picks him up and Irish-whips him, but Bourne reverses... only for Shelton to grab onto the ropes as he hits them. Evan sprints at Shelton but The Gold Standard drops down and holds the top rope down, sending him tumbling to the ground! Shelton climbs to his feet and backs away from the ropes... BEFORE SPRINTING FORWARD... DIVING OVER THE TOP ROPE... SOMERSAULT PLANCHA! The crowd pop hugely at the move despite Shelton being a heel, both men are down on the outside as the referee begins counting.

Kelly walks over and tries to check on Bourne but the referee informs her to stay back, she shoots him a look of utter disdain as she backs away. Meanwhile, The Gold Standard pulls himself to his feet, and picks up his opponent and rolls him into the ring. Benjamin walks to the ring, uses the rope to climb onto the apron, and makes sure he has a good grip of the top rope, as Bourne gets to his feet... AND SHELTON CONNECTS WITH A SPRING BOARD BULL DOG!

...
... 1 ...
...
... 2 ...
...

EVAN KICKS OUT TO A BIG POP. Shelton picks himself up and complains to the referee, asking if him to do his job right, he then turns to Bourne and picks him up. Evan connects suddenly with a few kicks and punches, the fans getting behind the little man as he runs away from Bourne, rebounding off the ropes... right into Benjamin’s clutches... BRIDGING NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX!

...
... 1...
...
... 2 ...

ANOTHER KICK OUT, AND ANOTHER GOOD POP! The Gold Standard pulls Evan to his feet, and Irish-whips him into the corner, Shelton backs into the opposite corner and runs forward and goes for a jumping splash but Evan side steps, before he runs the ropes and goes for a cross body as Benjamin stumbled into position... but he ducks and Evan ends up hitting the mat with a thud. The Gold Standard smirks as Bourne climbs to his feet, he goes for a kick to the gut but Bourne catches his foot... and swings him away.. but Benjamin does a full turn AND TAKES HIS HEAD OFF WITH A DRAGON KICK!

...
... 1 ...
...
... 2 ...
...

EVAN ROLLS THE SHOULDER, GETTING ANOTHER POP FROM THE ARENA CROWD. Benjamin stands up and walks over to the ropes, he breathes heavily before shouting that it’s time to end which the crowd respond with huge boos. He measures Bourne, and grabs him looking for a T-Bone Suplex... BUT BOURNE LANDS ON HIS FEET! The crowd cheer loudly and Benjamin looks shocked as Bourne rebounds off the ropes and SMASHES INTO SHELTON WITH A RUNNING JUMPING KNEE!

Benjamin stumbles backwards into the ropes, Bourne takes his hand and Irish-whips him into the corner. Evan runs at The Gold Standard, but Benjamin side steps and escapes the corner, but Bourne runs up the turnbuckle... and spring boards off it... twisting in the air and connecting with A DOUBLE KNEE DROP TO THE SHOULDERS OF BENJAMIN!

The crowd respond with a huge pop as Evan grabs his knees, but persists and climbs to his feet, walks over to the turnbuckle, and climbs onto the top. He makes sure he gets his angles correct, and GOES FOR SHOOTING STAR PRESS... but Benjamin rolls out the way... but Bourne lands on his feet! Shelton quickly gets up and rolls Bourne up!

...
... 1 ...
...

EVAN REVERSES AND TURNS IT AROUND ON BENJAMIN... ROLL UP!

Eliminated #1 – Shelton Benjamin by Evan Bourne
Bourne rolls off Shelton and backs into the corner, he sits down in the corner and watches as the referee helps Shelton out of the ring. Evan talks some strategy in the corner with Kelly who congratulates him, we then find out the next entry.

*Death Grip*

Kelly turns to the stage swiftly and sees the man who has been stalking her the past few weeks, Mike Knox walking out, Evan reassures her that he won’t touch her as he then walks from the corner and welcomes Knox into the ring.

But Bourne doesn’t anticipate the aggressiveness of Knox as he slides into the ring and makes a beeline for his opponent, tackling him and backing him into the corner. Knox goes wild with left and rights, Bourne tries to cover up but he can’t, as the shots keep getting through, eventually the referee has to stop it, he counts to five and Knox finally stops. Knox backs away as the referee scolds him for his actions, meanwhile Bourne stumbles out of the corner, but it’s right into Knox’s clutches... DOUBLE UNDERHOOK SUPLEX!

...
... 1 ...
...
... 2 ...
...

BOURNE KICKS OUT TO A HUGE CHEER! Kelly rests her head on the apron, almost praying for Bourne’s safety in this match. She raises her head when she feels someone staring at her, we now see Knox is watching her from his position standing above Bourne. He tells her that she brought this on, he then drags Evan to his feet and Irish-whips him in to the corner.

Knox takes a look at Kelly before kneeing Bourne in the gut, and following that up with three more shots before ferociously Irish-whipping Bourne into the opposite corner and the force of it causes Bourne to fall to the ground in pain. Bourne eventually climbs to his knees, but Knox sprints from the opposite corner and CONNECTS WITH A LOW BIG BOOT TO THE FACE OF BOURNE!

The Monster walks away from Bourne, while he climbs to his feet, Mike rebounds off the ropes and goes for a flying cross body but Bourne ducks and dives out the way! Evan gets an adrenaline rush and sprints forward, hitting a knee to the face of Knox and he falls like a sack of potatoes. Kelly cheers on the outside as does the crowd, Bourne looks at her and climbs onto the apron, turns back to Knox who is just getting to his feet, Bourne then SPRING BOARDS... GOING FOR A FLYING CLOTHESLINE... BUT KNOX SIDE STEPS.

Bourne manages to land on her feet though, but then Knox connects with a Pendulum Backbreaker which gets a huge groan from the crowd. Knox walks over to Kelly and tells her that she shouldn’t have chosen Bourne over him, she’s the reason that this is happening to him. Mike turns around and sinks into the cover.

ANOTHER KICK OUT TO THE SURPRISE OF KNOX! Knox climbs out of the ring, sliding down from the apron and walking around, Kelly realizes that he is walking towards her. Kelly backs away, but Knox grabs her by the arm, he tells her that it’s him she should be with, she tries to fight away but Knox has too good of a grip.

Suddenly though, Evan appears behind Knox, he grabs him by the arm and turns him around AND CONNECTS WITH A ROLLING SAVATE KICK! Knox falls backwards, Bourne checks that Kelly is okay before sliding Knox into the ring. He soon climbs onto the apron and waits for Knox to stand up, SPRINGBOARD... HURRICANRANA!

Knox gets up quickly though as does Bourne, who sprints forward and hits a running jumping version of the Hurricanrana this time, he then stands up, in front of Knox’s prone body, and CONNECTS WITH A STANDING MOONSAULT!

KNOX GETS HIS SHOULDER OFF THE MAT! Evan curses his luck as Kelly bites her lip, he presses on and drags Knox’s frame to his feet, and Irish-whips him but Knox reverses and Bourne careens into the corner. The Monster sprints forward and goes for a splash but Bourne gets both his feet up and Knox runs right into them. Bourne quickly lifts himself onto the second rope, and then steps up to the top rope, but Knox dives forward and lands on the top rope, shaking them and Bourne lands groin first on the metal pole!

Kelly cringes at ringside, obviously concerned for Bourne’s groin region, the slut. Anyway, Bourne screws his face up in pain but Knox isn’t done, he climbs onto the apron and walks across to the Bourne, he grabs him by the arm and yanks him AND BOURNE FALLS FROM THE TOP ROPE DOWN TO THE FLOOR... HIS HEAD HITTING THE APRON ON THE WAY DOWN!

Was that meant to happen? The referee checks on Bourne but says he is okay, and says that Bourne wants to continue, Knox side steps the referee and picks him up, and Irish-whips him into the steel steps! Kelly kneels beside Evan and checks on him, Knox watches her and starts to walk over, Kelly sees him coming and escapes.

Knox focuses on Evan again, he grabs his leg and twists his body around, and props his leg up against the steel steps. Knox backs away AND SPRINTS FORWARD... AND KICKING BOURNE’S LEG... IT’S SANDWICHED AGAINST THE STEEL! The crowd boo relentlessly as Bourne writhes in pain, holding onto his leg, but Knox isn’t finished he yanks Evan to his feet, and PLANTS HIM WITH THE KNOX OUT... ON THE FLOOR!

The crowd are in awe at the move on the floor, before booing him completely. The referee checks on him, and he sees that he is knocked out, the referee tells Knox to get him back in the ring. Kelly kneels beside Bourne and holds his face in her hands, until Knox gets behind her, she stands up and tells him to back off, but Knox grabs her AND THROWS HER TO THE SIDE... AND SHE SMASHES INTO THE BARRICADE!

The crowd give Knox so much shit it’s unbelievable as he picks Bourne up and slides him into the ring, you’d think he’d go for the cover and end it... but no. Knox climbs onto the apron and ascends the turnbuckle... BEFORE DIVING OFF... DIVING LEG DROP! The crowd react with shock as Bourne’s neck is smashed by Knox’s thick thigh, cover.

World Tag Team Championship
Cryme Tyme vs. The Ruthless Monarchy

We begin the match with JTG for his team and Drew for his team, in the opening exchanges it’s JTG who uses his speed advantage to good effect, making sure to keep Drew off his game. Eventually, JTG tags in Shad and the duo double team him with a body slam and then a double elbow drop. Shad keeps on Drew, getting a couple of near falls but Drew manages to create some separation and gets the tag to Nigel. Shad uses his size and strength advantage, taking Nigel into his own corner and tagging in JTG, and again we witnessed a double team as Shad body slammed Nigel, then picked up JTG in a suplex position and drops him onto McGuiness. This gets a near fall but Drew breaks it up.

JTG picks Nigel up, and Irish-whips him but Nigel reverses, but Drew kicks JTG in the back as he hits the ropes, he turns around and faces Drew and tells him to keep out. JTG then turns around into a ferocious clothesline! From then on, it was all Drew and Nigel, they took turns working over JTG, making sure to target the leg of him.

The big man comes in hot, taking it to Drew and knocking Nigel off the mat. Shad turns back to Drew and hits him with various high impact moves, body slams and running double handed choke slams. Eventually he picks Drew up and hits him with the STO but Nigel gets back into the ring, and attacks Shad. But JTG takes him out, and they tumble over the top rope. Drew and Shad square off again, with Shad getting the better with a side slam. We suddenly hear a thud and the cameras show us JTG lying beside the steel steps.

He gets a good pop as he walks into the shot, Josh asks him if he’ll suffer the same fate as Cryme Tyme and lose the championship, Rey tells Josh that tonight isn’t just about the Intercontinental Championship, it’s about getting retribution. Regal crossed a line when he involved his my family, and tonight he’ll get his in the Steel Cage. As for the Intercontinental Championship, Rey says that he cherishes that belt and no one will take it from him, especially not William Regal.

Judgment Day cuts away and we arrive at Legacy’s locker room, where Randy Orton is sat on a steel chair, staring down at the WWE Championship which is in his hands. Meanwhile, Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase are talking amongst themselves in the background.

Money in the Bank Briefcase – Four Corners Elimination Match
CM Punk © vs. Jack Swagger vs. The Miz vs. TJ Perkins

The first action of this match stemmed from the last episode of RAW where Swagger pissed off every member of this match, and they all teamed up to take Swagger out, the referee telling two of them to get onto the apron but they don’t listen, instead they take turns hitting Swagger with their finisher moves, Punk connects with his GTS and The Miz grabs him and plants him with the Skull Crushing Finale before TJ flies off the ropes with a 450 Splash. And the first elimination is Jack Swagger.

The referee demands that one person gets out of the ring and The Miz is the one who is forced out, this lets Perkins and Punk have a back and forth exchange which lasts at least five minutes, the crowd enjoying watching each mans attempts to put the other down. The Miz watches on from the apron, keeping himself fresh as TJ hits a Corkscrew Moonsault from a standing position and this results in a near fall, but then The Miz tags himself in, and now it’s Miz versus TJ.

Miz takes the advantage, as TJ is tiring, he hits all of his signature moves and eventually goes for Skull Crushing Finale but TJ drops down and flips Miz over his head, he runs at Miz and connects with a running enziguri which results in a near fall. TJ then climbs to the top rope and goes for the 450 but only gets his knees, and The Miz gets up quickly and plants him with the Skull Crushing Finale, and Perkins is eliminated.

Punk climbs in quickly, and in the final stretch of the match, he and The Miz exchange momentum, making sure to put on a show for the crowd. In the final moments of the match, Punk goes for a diving elbow drop, but The Miz rolls out the way and then goes for Skull Crushing Finale but Punk counters, and connects with the GTS.


WINNER AND STILL MR MONEY IN THE BANK: CM PUNK @ 11.34

WWE Women’s & Divas Championship Unification Match
Beth Phoenix © vs. Maryse © vs. Melina

The three divas exchange glances at, Maryse seeming rather cocky and eventually, the three of them walk to the centre of the ring. The three of them then talk trash to one another, but Beth and Maryse take precedent and talk to one another, the two champions getting heated but Melina tries to get involved again and gets taken out by a double clothesline. This leaves the champions, Beth uses her power advantage to take Maryse into the corner, she hits her with various elbows before pulling her out and planting her with a suplex.

Melina returns and takes Beth out with a clothesline, and then a flying cross body and gets a near fall. Phoenix manages to come back with a knee to the gut and picks Melina up into a Gorilla Press Slam position, Maryse suddenly hits a low drop kick to Beth, she falls and Melina lands on top, but luckily Maryse breaks the cover.

Maryse grabs Melina and throws her into the ring post through the turnbuckle, this incapacitates Melina for the time being and Maryse turns to Beth, and the next few minutes consists of Maryse inflicting damage on the leg of Beth and then locking in her French Figure 4 Leg Lock, it looks as if Beth is going to tap until Melina breaks it up with a diving elbow from the top rope.

Melina seeing that Beth is hurt, takes out Maryse, by launching her through the top and second rope, she follows her out and slams her pretty face into the announce table before focusing on Phoenix, Melina hits a few of her signature moves, and looks to be closing in on the victory until Maryse slides into the ring and hits Melina with the French TKO out of nowhere. Beth is out as Maryse crawls to the cover.


WINNER AND NEW UNDISPUTED WOMEN’S CHAMPION: MARYSE @ 7.34
And it’s over, Maryse becomes the first Diva ever to hold both the WWE Women’s Championship and the WWE Divas Championship at the same time. She has unified the two and grabs them both, and climbs to the second rope, meanwhile Beth realizes what has happened and glances between the celebrating Maryse and the knocked out Melina. She slides out of the ring and backs away, while the new Undisputed Women’s Champion celebrates.

We head backstage where Brie and Nikki Bella are stood, the two twins introduce their guest as one of the men challenging for John Cena’s World Heavyweight Championship, Chris Jericho. They ask him his thoughts on his the upcoming match and if he can defeat the other three men. Jericho smirks and says of course he can, he is the best in the world, and the best in the world should be holding that World Title, not a hypocrite like John Cena, nor should a cretin like Jeff Hardy or a parasite like Matt Hardy. He says he’s here for one reason, and that’s the World Heavyweight Championship.

After the interview is done we cut to another part of the arena where the World Heavyweight Champion, John Cena is standing in front of a TV set, presumably just having watched Jericho’s interview. He shakes his head and turns around, but right into one of his challengers, Jeff Hardy, the two biggest stars on SD stare each other down. Jeff glances at the World Title and tells Cena that at the end of the night, he’ll be World Champion. John says he welcomes the challenge, but the only person that is going to say the champ’ is here, is him. Jeff says we’ll see and the awkward stare off ends as Jeff backs away.

Inferno Match
Christian vs. Kane

The officials set the apron on fire, and we can see that Christian is obviously not at home in the ring with the flames, but Kane laps it up, laughing manically. Christian seems to be regretting his decision to choose an Inferno match as Kane bullies him around the ring, hitting some big moves which makes the flames shoot up higher. Christian manages to create some separation but is still extremely uncomfortable as he manages to hit a couple of shots in and plants Kane with an DDT.
The next few minutes consisted of Christian keeping in the middle of the ring, trying to wear down the big red monster, but Kane comes back and grabs Christian by the throat and picks him up for the Choke Slam but he walks over to the ropes and looks to be slamming him onto the apron but Christian elbows him and Kane has to put him down.

The fight spills into the corner where Kane hoists Christian onto the top turnbuckle, Captain Charisma kicks him away through, and stands on the second rope and hits a spinning diving elbow to Kane, just as he does this, the flames shoot up, nearly burning Christian but he dived off just in time.

The battle continues, trading momentum until Kane plants Christian with a spinning side slam which leaves Christian out. Kane picks him up and sends him into the turnbuckle, but Christian hits a big boot onto an onrushing Kane, and climbs to the top rope, but Kane grabs him by the hand and throws him out of the ring, he just clears the flames and they shoot up just as he passes them.

Christian lies on the mat, but Kane takes action and climbs to the top rope, Christian stands up and Kane soars from the top rope, looking for a flying clothesline but Captain Charisma side steps and Kane lands on the mat. Christian kneels on the mat, feeling the heat from the flames, wincing in pain at all the pain he’s endured, as Kane gets to his feet. Christian kicks him in the gut and smashes his face into the announce table, Captain Charisma then picks up a Steel Chair and goes to smash it off the face of Kane but Kane ducks, he then grabs Christian by the neck, and picks him up and goes for a ChokeSlam... but instead he throws Christian into the apron... and into the flames!

WINNER: KANE @ 13.54
The fans gasp in shock as Christian runs around the ring, his right leg on fire, before collapsing and the medics rushing to his aid with a fire extinguisher and medical kits. They work tirelessly but eventually Christian goes into shock, regaining consciousness for a second only to lose it again, meanwhile Kane walks around the ring and kneels beside him while the medics work away.

WWE THE BASH
A SMACKDOWN PRODUCTION
JULY 12, 2009

***

After the video package for The Bash, we’re backstage where Josh Matthews is stood and he welcomes his guest as the new Undisputed Women’s Champion, Maryse. She walks in with a bottle of water and the two belts on her shoulders. Josh asks her how it feels to be the first ever Undisputed Champion, she says it feels great but it she knew all along she would win the match and become the first ever Undisputed Women’s Champion. She goes onto say that tomorrow night on RAW, she will unveil a new championship design, a championship design which will start the newest era of women’s wrestling, and she will be at the foreground.

BIG SHOW AND VICKIE GUERRERO’S CONTRACT ON THE LINE
Big Show w/Vickie Guerrero vs. Edge

You could tell that Edge was preoccupied with the image of Christian being put on fire in his head, which meant this allowed Big Show to take the advantage in the early going, using his strength to good effect. Vickie Guerrero played cheerleader at ringside, hoping that Show would win to save her and his job. Show continued to dominate proceedings until he took too long to show boat, Edge ducked his chest slap attempt in the corner and broke free, hitting a number of quick fire moves, targeting the legs of Show, getting him down to the ground.

Edge kept putting pressure on Show, causing wild swings and mistakes which played right into The Rated R Superstars hands. But then Vickie got involved, which killed all his momentum, as he was distracted Show nailed him with a big boot. From here on, Show dominated, getting near fall after near fall but Edge kept himself in the match.

Show locked in a sleeper hold, but that allowed Edge a chance to get back into the match, with the crowd behind him, he thought to his feet and broke free. He ran the ropes and hit Show with a running drop kick to the knee, which took him down, and then suddenly Edge hit the Edge-A-Cution for a near fall. The Rated R Superstar set up for the Spear only for Vickie to slide into the ring, Edge walked over to her and told her to get out the ring.

Unbeknownst to him, Show was now on his feet, he turns around and Show goes for the Knockout Punch but Edge ducks and Show knocks out Vickie! Show looks shocked while the fans cheer loudly, he turns around and Edge spears him into unemployment as he gets the win.


WINNER: EDGE @ 10.04
Edge has made sure that he doesn’t have to deal with Vickie Guerrero anymore as he wins the match and sends both of them on their way. Edge celebrates on the turnbuckle and notices that Guerrero is knocked out and Show is just getting up to a seated position. Edge leaves the ring and heads backstage while Show realizes what this means. The crowd start chanting goodbye to him, he walks over to Vickie and tries to wake her, she doesn’t respond so he slings her over his shoulder and walks up the ramp. The crowd continue to sing as he reaches the stage and turns around, taking one final look at the WWE stage where he made his name before turning around and disappearing... for the last time?

AVAILABLE ON DVD AND BLU-RAY
TOMORROW!!


***

On our return, we get a split screen view of Rey Mysterio and William Regal walking down separate halls, looking prepared for their Intercontinental Championship match.

We cut into the main arena where the lights go out, and strobe lights go around the arena, and we see the Steel Cage then being lowered.


WWE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP – STEEL CAGE
WIN BY ESCAPE OR PIN FALL

Rey Mysterio © vs. William Regal

The crowd were extremely hot for this match, once the referee on the outside locked the cage, the ref inside called for the bell. The beginning of the match was nothing more than brawl, surprisingly Rey took Regal down with a tilt-a-whirl and showed his fierce side as he dived on top of him and pounded him with huge fists. Regal managed to use Rey’s aggression to his advantage, turning the tables and using his mat based skills to lock in submissions to ground the highflyer.

It didn’t take long though until Regal tried to escape the cage, after body slamming Rey, he started to climb the cage, but Rey hurriedly followed, grabbing his leg and pulling him down and running Regal into the cage, head first. Rey climbs to the top rope and goes for a cross body but Regal catches him and throws him into the cage with a fall away slam.

Regal started to dominate, using the cage to his advantage, using it to inflict enormous amounts of pain to the champion. Regal tries to climb the cage again, but Rey steps up and climbs with him, Rey and Regal battle on the side of the cage, Rey nearly slips which gives Regal the opportunity to hit a sit down hip toss from the top of the cage.

Regal clutches his ass in pain while Rey lies on the mat, Regal gets a near fall. Regal locks in a submission but Rey uses all his strength to get out and build up a head of steam, taking it to Regal, and even hitting tilt-a-whirl DDT which got a near fall. Mysterio then climbed half way up the cage, and turned around, gripping the cage as he waits, Regal gets to his feet but Rey dives forward and connects with a cross body which gets a near fall.

The next talking point in the match was a few minutes later, Regal runs at Rey who drop kicks him and he lands on the second rope, Rey dials 619 up but he realizes he can’t hit it because of the cage. Instead he simply runs and drop kicks the back of Regal’s head and his face is squashed against the cage. Regal rolls away and we see that blood is trickling down his face.

Rey tries to take advantage, by climbing to the top rope and going for a diving clothesline but Regal ducks and hits Rey with the Regal-Plex, but Rey kicks out of the cover, saving his title.
Regal brings out the brass knuckles which are legal in this match, Rey gets up but ducks the shot, he then rebounds off the ropes and hits a tilt-a-whirl arm bar take down. Rey climbs to the top rope, and connects with a hurricanrana which propels Regal into the steel cage.

A few seconds later, we see Rey climbing the cage, he gets to the top, and looks down, thinking about something, and the fans cheer as he turns around and stands on the top of the cage! And dives off the top and connects with a splash from the top!

Rey clutches his chest as he asks for the referee to open the door, he does and Rey crawls to it. Rey climbs towards it, and is nearly out until SUDDENLY THE CAGE IS SLAMMED SHUT... BY... WHO IS THAT... NOBODY KNOWS... BUT HE STANDS SMIRKING AS THE FANS BOO MERCILESSLY.

Rey rolls back into the ring, and Regal is back on his feet, and hits him with The Power Of The Punch and gets the cover.


WINNER AND NEW WWE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION: WILLIAM REGAL @ 16.42
What the hell? Who is this man who just cost Rey Mysterio the Intercontinental Championship? The cage is lifted into the air and Regal is handed his new title, he climbs to his feet after that ferocious contest, with blood trickling down his forehead, and climbs onto the turnbuckle and raises the belt in the air. Regal nods at this unknown man who nods back as we fade away.

With the crowd booing, we head backstage to even more boos as Matt Hardy is preparing in his locker room, taping up his wrists. After he’s done so he simply stares into space, getting mentally prepared for later tonight.

In another part of the arena, we see the WWE Champion Randy Orton exit his locker room, and start walking down the corridor, and the commentators inform us that we’re going to a video package.

WWE Championship
Randy Orton © vs. The Undertaker

The opening minutes of the match consisted of the WWE Champion trying to stay as far away from The Deadman as possible, while getting in a few fleeting shots. This continued until Orton got a little too close, and Undertaker grabbed him by the neck and launched him into the corner, this is where the striking prowess of the challenger came out to play as he levelled Orton with rights and lefts, targeting the body and the face before the referee had to separate him. Orton’s strategy changed at that point and decided running away from him would do no good, he exploded out the corner and hit the distracted ‘Taker with a running forearm, and then a European Uppercut, before kicking his knee, rebounding off the ropes and connecting with a running boot.

For the next few minutes, the WWE Champion was in complete control, with The Deadman down on the mat, he targeted each limb, working them over with stomps and knee drops. But he made a mistake by allowing the challenger to get to his feet, and The Undertaker fought back with his striking again, before hitting various high impact moves including a Suplex and a back body drop.

When Orton got back to his feet, Undertaker went for a running big boot but Orton ducked and pulled the rope down, The Deadman got his leg caught on the top, and the champion took advantage, grabbing the other leg and pushing him over and onto the floor. Orton climbed out after him, and shoulder thrusted his opponent into the apron, back first, before launching him into the ring post. He threw him back into the ring and started to pound the mat, the fans knew what he was going for, and when The Deadman picks himself up, Orton goes for an RKO but ‘Taker blocks and throws Orton off.

Orton turns around, and ducks a running big boot, but it takes the referee out, the referee is down. The challenger turns around and swings at The Viper but he ducks and connects with an Inverted Backbreaker. Orton backs away from The Undertaker and then sprints forward, looking for the punt but ‘Taker reaches up and grabs him by the neck, he stands up and then kicks him in the gut and picks him up and plants him with The Last Ride.

The crowd go apeshit as we should be seeing a new WWE Champion, ‘Taker covers Orton but the referee is still down, the crowd count and they get to three but it doesn’t count. The challenger picks himself up, steps over and grabs the back of the ref’s shirt, but he’s not waking up any time soon. Orton is still down as Undertaker turns around, but suddenly Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase slide into the ring and absolutely maul The Deadman, he tries to fight them off but the match has took its toll, the Legacy members batter him in the corner until they pull him out and Rhodes hits him with CrossRhodes!

Legacy make a swift break, sliding out of the ring as The Viper crawls to the cover, the referee turns around, and crawls to make the count, but The Undertaker kicks out at the very last moment! Rhodes and DiBiase look shocked on the outside as Orton climbs off Taker, eventually the two of them stand up, and trade punches, until The Deadman ducks one and grabs him in a Choke Slam, but when he lifts Orton up, The Viper breaks his grip and hits the RKO on the way down!


WINNER AND STILL WWE CHAMPION: RANDY ORTON @ 13.54
The crowd barrage Orton with huge boos as he slides off ‘Taker, DiBiase joins him in the ring and helps him up while Rhodes brings his title into the ring. The Viper clutches it to his chest and exits the ring, and holds it up high as Legacy help him walk up the ramp. They turn around at the top of the stage one last time, where they see The Undertaker sit up, and look at them menacingly.

***

We open to a dark room with the World Heavyweight Championship in a glass case which is lit up...

Narrator: The World Heavyweight Championship ... a title shrouded in history and prestige.

Shot of various people holding such as The Undertaker, Edge, Triple H, Batista, Randy Orton before settling on the current champion John Cena...

We get a shot of John Cena sat in the middle of the ring, an empty arena, it’s dark apart from the light in the ring...

John Cena: I can’t lose it, I physically can’t. I’ve worked my whole life to become World Champion, nothing comes close to being a champion. It’s what gets me up in the morning, I want to be able to say to my kids one day... I was the greatest World Heavyweight Champion in history... and to do that I need to defend this belt... and win each time.

Now we swiftly cut to the bleachers where Chris Jericho is sat...

Chris Jericho: When I came into this company, everyone said that Chris Jericho is a future World Heavyweight Champion, and I proved everyone right. I became a World Champion and became the first ever WWE Undisputed Champion. I’m going into this match to win back what was taken from me, the World Championship, and I will win it back.

And again, we cut to the stage where amazingly, Jeff Hardy is sat atop it, looking down at the steel below him...

Jeff Hardy: A lot of people said I’d be dead by now, and they were correct in thinking that, my life was a mess, but I changed that around, for myself and for my fans. I’ve dedicated my life to this business, I’m a former WWE Champion and a former World Heavyweight Champion, nobody said Jeff could become a World Title, but I proved everyone wrong. Tonight, in that ring where Cena is sat, I’ll take the title he’s staring at, for myself and for my fans.

Finally, we cut to the backstage area, where Matt Hardy is sat in his locker room, staring down at his hands...

Matt Hardy: I have blood on my hands, I’ve betrayed my friends, brother and all the fans who cheered me on through the years, and for that I am now in the main event, challenging for the World Heavyweight Championship. Something I should have been doing all along, I should be a multiple time World Champion, and nobody can tell me different. Tonight, I win my first World Heavyweight Championship, and prove I was right to do what I did. Believe me, tonight the era of coldness descends on the WWE.

We get glances of each man now, sitting in their positions, staring into space before we cut into the room we were in before where the World Title is sat.

World Heavyweight Championship – Fatal Four Way
John Cena © vs. Chris Jericho vs. Jeff Hardy vs. Matt Hardy

The referee rung for the bell and we saw an awkward stare off between all four men, each man glancing at one another before we paired off, Matt paired with Cena and Jeff with Jericho, in opposite corners, battling away until Cena and Jeff won their respective battles, taking it out of their opponents. The two men then turned around and walked into the centre of the ring, the fans were split with dualling Let’s Go Cena, Let’s Go Hardy chants, as the two biggest stars on SmackDown squared off, staring at each other. They talk some trash but it doesn’t come to blows as Matt and Jericho get involved, Matt knocks Cena down while Jericho does the same to Hardy. Jericho throws Jeff out the ring and for the next few minutes the match consisted of Jericho and Matt teaming up against Cena.

But eventually the egos of both men got too big, and they started squaring off, trading punches in the ring, but Matt Irish-whipped Jericho, who hit the ropes, but Cena reached in and grabbed Chris’ ankles and pulled him out. Cena and Jericho battle on the outside while Matt watches before turning around into the face of Jeff, the two brothers looking into each other’s eyes, the fans cheer loudly at seeing Hardy/Hardy Part III and then they suddenly start trading punches and we see Jeff take the advantage eventually hitting Whisper In The Wind and going for the cover but Cena broke it up.

We now see a three way brawl, trading punches on each other, before Jericho gets involved again, he runs at the three but they separate and Jericho runs right past them and Cena throws him out of the ring again. Cena and Jeff then team up, beating Matt up, pushing him back into the corner, Jeff took the initiative and pounded on his brother but Cena pulled him off, so he could get a go. Jeff didn’t take too kindly and pulled Cena back, and we now see another stare off between the two, the dualing chants start up again, but then Matt tries to get involved again but the two of them grab him and throw him out of the ring.

Jericho and Matt battle on the outside, but we’re focused on the two in the ring, they start trading punches and kicks, before Cena Irish-whips him but Jeff baseball slides through and hits a drop kick to the back of Cena. Jeff runs at Cena but John grabs him and goes for the Attitude Adjustment but Jeff squirms out, and suddenly hits the Twist of Fate out of nowhere!

We see a cover but both Matt and Jericho break it up, they then throw Jeff out of the ring only for Matt to throw Jericho out. Matt dives on top of Cena but he kicks out, Matt climbs to the top rope, and goes for a top rope leg drop but Cena rolls out the way, the World Heavyweight Champion then goes for his set up for the AA, hitting the Five Knuckle Shuffle and hitting the Attiude Adjustment to Matt!

But Jericho breaks it up! Jericho and Cena then trade blows, until Jericho ducks a punch and hits the Codebreaker from out of nowhere. Jericho is about to go for the cover, but he turns into Jeff who hits the Twist of Fate, and then goes to the top rope, and connects with the Swanton Bomb, only for Matt to grab him and throw him out of the ring. Matt dives on top of Jericho and we have a new World Heavyweight Champion.


WINNER AND NEW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION: MATT HARDY @ 16.37
WE HAVE A NEW WORLD CHAMPION AND HIS NAME IS MATT HARDY! The man in question climbs off Jericho, and is handed the title, and he clutches to his forehead, breathing heavily, finally realized his dream of becoming champion. He rolls out the ring while Cena realizes what has happened, Jeff is out on the outside, while Jericho is the same in the ring.

With Matt backing up the ramp with the World Heavyweight Championship above his head, he sits on the stage, and stares into it, as the commentators say goodbye and we... fade... to... black.

Re: C3K Presents: WWE 2009 - The Fear That's In Your Eyes

Judgment Day Feedback

First off welcome back from your trip to South Africa mate, been anticipating this in your absence (Y). Let's get cracking!

This is a match I found extremely hard to call, as most gauntlet matches are. A real nice start between Bourne and Benjamin here, I'd imagine a great match between those two if it were to occur in real life, and sadly my prediction is incorrect. Jesus christ, Knox smashing Kelly into the barricade is great, Knox is a psychopath! Now here I would of liked Knox to continue his momentum and eliminate two on the bounce however I see with Ziggler being the next entrant you don't want a heel versus a heel. I'm pleased now that we're gonna see a new champion, I'm not a fan of face Truth and I think Ziggler, Kingston or Morrison would make a great champ. Well Morrison is in next guaranteeing Kofi as the last entrant, WOW! A Zig Zag off the apron would be awesome! Good showcasing of Dolph here. Now I don't particularly have a problem with Kingston walking out champion but I hope you don't do a Ziggler/Kofi feud, no fault of yours it's just been done too many times in real life. Great opener though bro (Y)

DAT British Pay Per View! Why not Liverpool though huh!? :side:

Now that's what I'm talking about, the fellow Brits capturing the gold! Not much to say about the match but it's good to see The Monarchy get some gold, long may this feud continue. This was another tough one to call, I didn't think TJ had a chance of winning but he had a good showing which only does good things for him. Punk is probably the right guy to keep the briefcase, I think he's someone to watch in this thread.

I think you've done the right thing in unifying the Women's and Diva's titles here mate, and I think it's a well known fact you've got a thing for Maryse so I expected her to walk out the champion. Hopefully you give the divas some spotlight in the coming months. An Inferno match is probably something we'll never see again in WWE however it's nice to see it used again here. Think the stuff with Kane has been good and Christian is a solid worker so I expect good things from these two together. Giving Kane a win here is good to continue the feud, I'm sure Christian is gonna try and delve more into Kane's mental state heading into a potential rematch. A new title design for the Women's? not sure what to think of that, I actually like both the Women's and Diva's title designs but it's good to see some attention for the divas.

This was a result I did not expect at all, again a woman takes a hit tonight I think a punch from Show would kill Vickie with a punch never mind knock her out :L. To be honest this wasn't a match I was looking forward to a lot only because Show is that stale and Edge is 1000x better. I highly doubt this is the last we've seen of these two though. Really didn't expect this next result, especially with the PPV in Britain being announced I thought Regal would probably win the gold in his home country however I'm happy he's won it regardless. Still can't believe I couldn't guess who the ally of Regal was until you told me, not going to spoil it but I'm glad you've brought him up. Onwards and upwards for The Ruthless Monarchy!

Now we get a nice match between Orton/Taker, I expected this to main event but it's no big deal to be honest, I expected Orton to retain but I personally am not a fan of the RKO/Chokeslam spot being used again, regardless I'm happy Orton retained in a decent match. Another result I didn't expect, as I said in my predictions; I expected Matt to get the gold but just not here however I'm looking forward to what way you go with it. You've got 4 good guys tearing up the SD main event scene and you certainly haven't fucked Matt Hardy up like WWE did around this point.

Overall I enjoyed the show mate, I think going back to single brand PPV's is a good move, allowing you to build up more feuds for each brand and also making the bigger PPV's seem that much more special with both brands. I feel you have advanced several feuds with this show and have set up some great potential scenarios. Keep up the good work mate (Y)​

Re: C3K Presents: WWE 2009 - The Fear That's In Your Eyes

Judgment Day Feedback​

Definitely the right choice for the opener here with the Gauntlet match. Usually in these kinda matches I like to see the champion come in first and really have to go through hell to keep his title but the opening pairing was a good one with Benji and Bourne. Action was strong throughout, fast paced as expected and Benjamin really looked the stronger, every near fall seemed to be going his way and Bourne’s win seemed like a bit of a surprise but it’s a good one for him to notch under his belt. Knox out next made sense considering his recent interactions with Bourne and I’m glad you did really play that up in the opening bit between these two. Bourne actually looked a lot stronger during this one which surprised me as I expected the big man to dominate from the get go. Towards the end though you really portrayed Knox as just a ruthless S.O.B. Some brutal stuff and him even attacking Kelly showed just that, bit extreme I must say. Finishing him off with a diving leg drop, ouch. Hell of a statement from Knox with this one.

Here comes the champ!! Unsurprisingly quick start from Truth and this one was probably the most back and forth so far which was pleasing to see. End result was in a way disappointing as Knox had looked a beast against Bourne and then goes, however it did make sense for Truth to get at least one win in trying to retain his title. Ziggler next was a good call, I’d have preferred him to come in early doors and be the kind of marathon man of this thing but he certainly impressed here, knocking off the champ is a big deal whether he wins the title or not, good rub for Dolph there. JoMo in next and no surprise that the action really picked up here, these two are as athletic as can be and some of the stuff was crazy, particularly that Zig Zag from the apron. Really pleased to see Dolph be the only man to knock off two wins on the bounce in this thing, would’ve been disappointing if nobody did but you picked the right man to do it.

Hell of a way to finish this thing. Allowing Kofi and Ziggles to go out there and just go at it for the longest period in the match was a good call and there was some really enjoyable back and forth. Kofi winning the gold is huge for him and although I was rooting for Ziggler I think Kofi is a solid choice and you have a lot of options in the U.S division moving forward, good opener.

All I can say about this next match was thank fuck the Monarchy won. Endless potential for these guys moving forward, can’t say the same for Cryme Tyme. Right call.

Punk retaining was the right decision here, a strong build is certainly needed for Punk at this point ahead of his cash in. Surprised to see Perkins get such a high profile match but certainly a good showcase for him and he didn’t look out of place. I’d be all for a Punk/Miz feud coming out of this.

I really thought you were just building to Phoenix vs Maryse for the unification match so was very surprised to see Melina involved and I wasn’t a fan of it to be honest. I think if you’d have just gone straight up champion versus champion it would’ve had a much bigger feel about it. Maryse coming out victorious was definitely the thing I wanted to see so I was pleased you opted for it.

I’m not a massive fan of the Inferno match stipulation, it’s a bit strange due to it having a more Battle Royal like feel than actual wrestling. Would’ve been a huge victory for Christian to score here and I really did think he’d pull it off. I don’t think Kane in 2009 should really do anything other than put people over but if you’re high on him then it’s understandable. Hopefully Christian can get the win back or both move on fairly quickly from this.

Edge/Show was a tricky one for me to call beforehand and even reading it I didn’t know which way it’d go. No surprise that Show dominated a fair chunk of it and I’m pleased you had Vickie get involved although I expected it a lot sooner than it came. Knockout punch to Vickie?! Jesus lol. I’m sure it would’ve gotten a HUGE pop, however much like Kelly earlier, it’s a tad extreme, a Spear might’ve been a little less controversial. Big win for Edge and I’m a little surprised we’re gonna see Vickie and Show gone…or are we lol.

This next one would’ve been an awesome match I can imagine. I enjoyed Regal’s use of the cage in this, such a Regal thing to do. Mysterio was strong throughout however as you displayed his heart and courage quite well. Mysterio really took control towards the end, however the ending was a little frustrating to me. Mysterio hits this huge move off the top, Regal’s down and out and Rey…doesn’t cover him, he tries to escape the cage. Why not just pin him? Makes Rey look a little silly I felt. Of course it backfires and it’s a very cliffhanger esque finish now. Regal as champion is great, him and the Monarchy all wearing gold certainly makes them look a strong force while this mystery man has me guessing, no idea right now.

Orton/Taker was a strong contest and that didn’t surprise me at all. These two tend to produce the goods and this was no different. Orton looked a lot stronger than I anticipated, especially in the early goings, really expected Taker to come out all guns blazing. Ending made sense with Legacy coming to the aid of the champion and although it was a little predictable it was certainly the right thing to do. Orton’s reign continues while Taker may well get another shot down the line. Good stuff.

Was chuffed you gave this the main event spot as I think it’s been a lot more enjoyable than the WWE Championship feud. Early kind of Cena/Hardy teasing was nicely done, two top faces squaring off would no doubt be huge. Some clever stuff as we get to see all four doing battle with one another respectively, be it Matt and Jericho, Matt and Jeff going at it one more time, all cleverly worked. Wow, Matt’s the champ!! Love it. I think he’s been one of your best characters in the thread so far and I’m pleased you’ve given him the ball to run with so to speak. I think 05/06 or 09 were the times to strike if ever for Matt so this doesn’t seem out of place. A Matt/Cena feud would be great to see coming out of this I think, would do wonders to establish Matt as both a top guy and a champion.

On the whole a solid PPV with a lot of strong booking. I would’ve obviously preferred it in full but I can see why you did it in recap. Highlight for me was definitely the main event, it appeared to be the strongest match and Matt winning made it better for me. Orton/Taker still has legs I think and this may’ve been only the beginning while I’m looking forward to where the Monarchy goes from here as well as Kofi’s U.S Title reign. A lot of positives to come from this, looking forward to your next stop, keep it up sir.

Re: C3K Presents: WWE 2009 - The Fear That's In Your Eyes

WWE Monday Night Raw – June, 1 – Rosemont, Illinois


We’re just twenty four hours removed from WWE Judgment Day where championships were won and lost, and the fall out comes in the form of Monday Night Raw.

Tonight, kicking off the show is going to be the announcement of the new Raw General Manager. We found out at Judgment Day that Ric Flair would not be able to return as Raw GM because of injuries sustained at the hands of the WWE Champion, Randy Orton. A number of names have been rumoured to be the new General Manger, but the only way to find out is to tune in tonight??

It’s been a month since Shawn Michaels made an appearance on WWE Monday Night Raw, after suffering an injury at the hands of The Miz. But now, Shawn Michaels is making his return tonight, and he will do in that very ring, but what will perhaps the greatest of all time have to say??

It was a big night for the Divas division last night as both title belts were on the line in a triple threat, winner take all match. Maryse defended her Divas Championship against the Women’s Champion Beth Phoenix and the wild card, Melina. The two championships were unified at the event and it was Maryse who became the first ever WWE Undisputed Women’s Champion. We heard from Maryse last night, after her match, where she made sure to tell everyone just how good she was and how she was the future of the Women’s Division. Tonight, Maryse has a victory celebration planned for in the ring, what will go down on this huge event?? Tune in to find out.

In controversial circumstances, Rey Mysterio, The Master of the 619 lost his Intercontinental Championship against William Regal, thanks to an unknown assailant. Not only did Regal win a championship but now every member of The Ruthless Monarchy holds WWE gold as Drew McIntyre and Nigel McGuiness defeated Cryme Tyme to become World Tag Team Championships. We will hear from every member of The Monarchy as they have demanded time to explain what happened last night and why they are rightful champions.

Last night at Judgment Day, the Money in the Bank briefcase was on the line as CM Punk successfully defended it against three men, Jack Swagger, TJ Perkins and The Miz. The current holder of the sought after briefcase will be in action tonight, against the skilled opponent Charlie Haas, Punk has only had twenty four hours to recover from his gruelling match so will that play a factor in his match tonight??

All this and more on Monday Night Raw!​

Re: C3K Presents: WWE 2009 - The Fear That's In Your Eyes

WWE Monday Night Raw – June, 01 2009
Rosemont, Illinois – AllState Arena​

We kick of the evening with the obligatory recap of last night’s Pay-per-view, Judgment Day, where we see Randy Orton successfully defend the WWE Championship against The Undertaker; CM Punk defend his briefcase; Rey Mysterio lose his Intercontinental Title and Cryme Tyme fall short in their bid to retain the World Tag Team Titles.

After the video package, Raw opens with a new video package, accompanied by “Step Up” by Drowning Pool, featuring the Superstars of RAW, before cutting into the arena and panning around, getting a glimpse of the screaming fans as a huge pyrotechnic display sounds off from the stage. We now cut into the ring where... Michael Cole is standing?


Michael Cole: Now I know this isn’t the usual way we kick off Raw, with me standing in the ring, but I assure you it’s for a good reason. Earlier on today, I was tasked with announcing our new Raw General Manager, so without further ado... introducing... ... Jerry The King Lawler!

~ An absolutely huge pop from the crowd at Jerry Lawler becoming the new Raw General Manager and it isn’t long before...

*The Great Gate of Kiev*​

Another pop comes from the crowd as the music of Jerry Lawler plays, and The King walks out, with his signature crown underneath his arm. He stops on the stage and takes a pause, soaking in the atmosphere, before nodding towards the ring and making his way down. Jerry shakes a few hands, and then climbs into the ring, he takes the microphone from Michael and shakes his hand.

Jerry Lawler: ...

~ Jerry doesn’t even get a chance to talk, as his fans in the arena chant his name, showing respect...

Jerry Lawler: Wow... I gotta’ say... when I was offered the position of General Manager, at first I was a little hesitant, but then I thought of the announce table and realized it was the perfect opportunity to get away from Michael Cole!

~ Burn :)side:), the fans give out a strong pop for this as Michael sits down at the table and laughs it off like a good little bitch...

Jerry Lawler: But all kiddin’ aside... I loved my time as a commentator, but now it’s time to move onto bigger and better things. I’d like to have became General Manager under better circumstances, I know you’re watchin’ Ric, and I along with everyone here wants to wish you a speedy recovery.

~ Lawler smiles as the fans give out strong ‘woo’s’...

Jerry Lawler: But now, I look at the announce table and I see an empty chair next to Michael Cole, and I think to myself, who could sit there? I racked my brain all day before deciding, I asked him and he gladly accepted... so allow me to introduce to you... Mick Foley!

~ A huge pop rings from the arena and right on cue...

*Wreck*​

The familiar sound plays and pretty soon, the one and only Mick Foley walks out onto the stage, and receives a huge pop. The Hardcore Legend starts to walk down the ramp, and see that Foley has brought with him a flask, of what we will assume is coffee or tea, and what appears to be a packed lunch box. Foley walks around the ring and shoots thumbs up to Jerry before taking his seat next to Michael.

Jerry Lawler: Mick Foley everyone!

~ Nice, Lawler manages to get another pop for Foley who responds by opening his lunch box and taking out a sandwich...

Jerry Lawler: When I was given this position, the board of directors told me I needed to deal with what happened last night in the WWE Championship match.

~ The crowd respond with heat as they remember how Legacy managed to topple The Undertaker and at Orton retaining the championship...

Jerry Lawler: So, in regards to the WWE Championship-

*Voices*​

Speaking of the WWE Championship, the crowd respond with massive heat as said champion walks out from behind the curtain. Randy Orton has his Legacy teammates with him, Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase alongside him and the trio make their way down to the ring.

Michael Cole: Well first of all, before we talk about what is happening right now, welcome Mick.

Mick Foley: (talking with a mouthful) Thank you.

Michael Cole: Uh... right... well, right there ladies and gentleman is the current WWE Champion, who managed to defeat The Undertaker last night, but it wasn’t without help from Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase. And it seems he has words for the new General Manager.

Legacy climb into the ring, and DiBiase fetches a microphone and hands it to Orton, the threesome stand a couple of feet away from Lawler who takes a defensive stance.

Randy Orton: What’s with the hostility, Jerry? I’m actually out here to congratulate you.

~ Lawler doesn’t know how to react but his defensive stance changes into a more neutral attitude, but still remains wary of The Viper...

Randy Orton: But despite being out here to congratulate you, I know where you are going-

~ You suck...

Randy Orton: I know where you were going with the WWE Championship, and just let me give you a warning... if you do... it won’t be good for you.

~ This statement gets some heat but Lawler stands firm...

Randy Orton: You saw what I did to Ric Flair... if you get on my bad side... you’ll follow Flair into the hospital.

~ Orton’s on fire tonight with getting the heat from the crowd as they boo him immensely...

Jerry Lawler: You haven’t heard have you?

~ Orton looks perplexed...

Randy Orton: About what?

Jerry Lawler: When I accepted this job... the Board of Directors informed me that if you touched me... or any other member of the RAW staff... then you will be suspended and stripped of the WWE Championship.

~ Orton clenches his teeth while the fans rub it in even more with a lot of cheers...

Jerry Lawler: And I’m guessing that you were thinking I was just going to hand The Undertaker a rematch at Fully Loaded, luckily for you I’m not.

~ This gets some heat but Randy Orton smirks, looking pleased and impressed by Lawler...

Randy Orton: Finally... a General Manager who knows what he’s doi-

Jerry Lawler: Hold on... I’m not finished. I’m not giving The Undertaker a rematch, I’m giving the opportunity to earn it.

~ The tide has turned as the fans cheer and now Orton is looking very much pissed off...

Jerry Lawler: In the main event tonight... The Undertaker will be in action against... either Cody Rhodes or Ted DiBiase.

~ Rhodes and DiBiase react with a good attitude, welcoming the challenge...

Jerry Lawler: And as for who it will be... well... I’ll let you decide that Randy Orton... so with that said... ladies and gentleman... enjoy the show.

*The Great Gate of Kiev*​

Lawler makes his exit, exiting the ring while Rhodes and DiBiase look at Orton, waiting for a decision, but Orton doesn’t tell them, instead he says he’ll decide later.

Michael Cole: What a main event! Either Cody Rhodes or Ted DiBiase will take on The Undertaker, and if ‘Taker wins then he’ll face Orton at Fully Loaded for the WWE Championship.

Mick Foley: Cole, I cannot wait for that match, and look at the hunger being showed by Ted and Cody, they both want a shot at The Undertaker, which I don’t know – is it bravery or stupidity.

Michael Cole: Well, we’ll see later tonight, join us after this commercial break where the Money in the Bank holder, CM Punk will be in action, don’t go anywhere.

Randy Orton glances between Rhodes and DiBiase, thinking of who to choose as we fade to a commercial break.

{Commercial Break}​

*Ringside*

*This Fire Burns*

It’s time for the first match of the evening, and in the ring already is Charlie Haas, and his opponent – Mr. Money in the Bank, CM Punk walks onto the stage, smiling at the very good reaction he is getting. Punk kneels on the stage, pulls his hood down and shouts “It’s clobbering time” before stepping up and walking down the ramp.

Michael Cole: This man last night took part in a four man elimination match, for his briefcase, and the current holder came out on top, defeating three other men, including The Miz, TJ Perkins and Jack Swagger.

Mick Foley: I gotta’ hand it to Punk... he defeated three men, but one of those men has a legitimate gripe about how he was eliminated, because Jack Swagger was triple teamed into elimination, Michael.

Michael Cole: Swagger rubbed everyone in that match the wrong way leading up to that match, and thus paid the price when they all attacked him.

Mick Foley: I’m not takin’ anythin’ away from Punk, he successfully defended his briefcase, and that means one thing – he will be either the WWE Champion or World Heavyweight Champion pretty soon I reckon.

Match One – Singles
Money in the Bank CM Punk vs. Charlie Haas


Unsurprisingly, with two of the best workers in the company, they put on a very nice show with what little time they had. The ending of the match came a couple minutes into the match, despite nobody putting any money in Haas putting up much of a fight he does – as he has Punk locked in a sleeper hold.

The referee checks on Punk, but he shows some life which stops the referee from stopping the contest, and he eventually gets to his feet, and Haas transitions into a side head lock. But Haas takes Punk right back down with a flipped take down, and locks in a side head lock on the ground, Charlie wrenches it over and over but Punk manages to get his leg up and put it on top of Haas’ neck and push it down, Haas manages to get Punk’s leg off him and the two get to their feet.

Haas runs at Punk but he ducks, and hits a drop-toe-hold to Haas when he rebounds, Punk picks Haas up and Irish-whips him into the corner. Punk follows that up by going for a clothesline but Haas gets two feet up, he staggers away and turns around but ducks a clothesline attempt. Punk kicks him in the gut and Irish-whips him into the corner again, and this times HITS HIS RUNNING STEP UP HIGH KNEE AND THEN A BULL DOG! Punk says it’s time to go to sleep and he picks Haas’ up AND PLANTS HIM WITH THE GTS FOR THE COVER... 1... 2... 3!


WINNER: CM PUNK @ 4.06

And we have a winner, the Money in the Bank holder asks for his briefcase and he is soon handed it, he clutches it to his chest. The referee rolls Haas’ out the ring as Punk climbs to the top rope, and holds the briefcase high in the air.

Michael Cole: A solid win tonight for CM Punk, who continues his moment- HEY!

The crowd suddenly start booing and punk drops down and turns around... wondering what is going on and... JACK SWAGGER ABSOLUTELY BULLDOZES HIM OVER WITH A CLOTHESLINE! The fans respond with huge heat as The All American stomps on the chest of Punk over and over, clenching his teeth, he looks at the briefcase and pulls him to his feet, before PLANTING HIM WITH THE GUTWRENCH POWERBOMB! Swagger stands above Punk, looking down smirking before asking for a microphone.

Jack Swagger: You see that!!!

~ The crowd boo him, as Swagger kneels down beside Punk and grabs him by his head...

Jack Swagger: That is what would’ve happened last night... had I not been TRIPLE teamed, which led to my elimination.

~ Swagger looks at the crowd who react with strong cheers, he turns his attention back to Punk...

Jack Swagger: I would have been the Money in the Bank holder... not you, and CM Punk... consider yourself put on notice... I’m comin’ for that briefcase and this time they won’t be anybody to help you stop me.

Jack lets go of the microphone and slams Punk’s head into the mat, the crowd boo him, but he reaches over and picks up the briefcase, holds it in the air, looking pleased with what he has done.

Mick Foley: That is what I call makin’ a statement, Michael, Swagger just put CM Punk on notice, he wants the briefcase.

Michael Cole: He does have a point, perhaps if he wasn’t triple teamed he might have won last night, who knows?

Mick Foley: CM Punk won’t take this lying down – he’ll want some measure of revenge and I can’t wait until these two great Superstars take each other on in a one on one match.

Michael Cole: That’ll no doubt be a great match when it happens. We have to cut to a quick commercial break, and ladies and gentleman, don’t go anywhere because after it – the Undisputed Women’s Champion, Maryse will in that very ring.

{Commercial Break}​

*Ringside*

*POURQUOI?*​

Michael Cole wasn’t lying, it is indeed Maryse walking onto the stage, in ring attire with the new Undisputed Women’s Championship belt on her shoulder. The sexy French-Canadian brushes her belt and sets on her way down to the ring, ignoring the fans jeers.

Michael Cole: Last night at Judgment Day, Maryse became the first women to become both Women’s and Divas Champion, and thus has dubbed herself the Undisputed Women’s Champion, and because of the huge occasion, we’ve got a new title!

Mick Foley: Change is always good, Michael, I remember winning the WWE Championship for the first time, and truth be told, I wanted to change the design the same way John Cena did, imagine the Hardcore Title but more gold.

Michael Cole: Uh... great, well anyway, Maryse was granted this time out here tonight to address the fans, so I guess this is celebration of sorts.

The Undisputed Women’s Champion climbs into the ring, she flips her hair and winks at the camera, and is handed a microphone from the timekeeper at ringside.

Maryse: Y’know... when the WWE offered moi a contract to compete, every Diva hated me because of how beautiful I am.

~ Some of the men in the arena actually cheer this with wolf whistles but eventually get drowned out by the women being bitches and booing her...

Maryse: And now? Every one of them want to be me... they all want to be in my shoes... because I am the Undisputed Women’s Champion.

~ She looks at the belt which is on her shoulder and smiles...

Maryse: A few months ago, I won the WWE Divas Championship and then vowed I’d unify the two belts and become ‘ze Undisputed Women’s Champion and low and behold... I did just ‘zat.

~ Maryse grins from ear to ear but the fans boo her...

Maryse: Je suis le visage de la division des Divas et personne ne peut dire le contraire. Personne ne peut me toucher ... aucun courant et aucune diva divas anciens comme Trish Stratus et Lita se rapprocher de moi.

~ This gets some huge boos from the crowd who don’t appreciate being spoken to in another language...

Maryse: After winning ‘zis beautiful championship... my phone was ringing constantly... people asking me for magazine photo shoots and media appearances. If Beth Phoenix won the match last night, that would not be happening, and the reason for that is simple... she sucks compared to me... everyone sucks compared to moi.

~ The cocky bitch takes in the heat from the crowd...

*GLAMAZON*​

Finally someone decides to shut Maryse up, and it is none other than the former Women’s Champion, Beth Phoenix. The Glamazon steps out onto the stage with a microphone in her hand, she looks down at Maryse who shows of her belt.

Beth Phoenix: Despite what you seem to believe, Maryse – being Women’s Champion isn’t about receiving mega money deals for photo shoots... it’s about being the best. Despite losing last night, I still know I am better than you and everyone in the back.

~ Phoenix puts Maryse in her place but she simply rolls her eyes...

Beth Phoenix: Last night, the person to blame for me losing my title... is Melina.

~ The fans respond with a small pop, while Beth shakes her head...

Maryse: First of all... if z’you were on magazine covers... the sales would plummet, because nobody would want to buy one with z’your face on ‘ze cover.

~ Burn...

Maryse: And secondly... you can play ‘ze blame game all z’you want... but ‘ze truth is simple... z’you just aren’t as good as moi.

~ Phoenix smirks at this statement while Maryse stares at her...

Beth Phoenix: You can joke around all you want... but everyone knows I am better than you... and I’m gonna’ prove that right now... because I’m activating my rematch clause.

~ This gets a sizeable pop as the fans are excited about seeing a title match...

Beth Phoenix: So get a referee out here, because this match is happening right now.

The referee comes out swiftly and the fans cheer at getting it right now, meanwhile Maryse looks angry that she has had no time to prepare while Beth walks down the ramp.

Match Two – Singles; Undisputed Women’s Championship
Undisputed Women’s Champion Maryse defends against Beth Phoenix


After an opening couple of minutes of back and forth action, Beth Phoenix uses her strength and power to take advantage, bulldozing Maryse with a running clothesline! The challenger stands above her rival before reaching down and pulling her to her feet by her hair, only to kick Maryse in the stomach, and plant her with a body slam. Beth looks around the arena, and then rebounds off the ropes and squashes Maryse with a running splash and hooks the leg... 1... 2... NO!

Beth is firmly in control, and she raises her arms in the air which gathers heat from the crowd, she turns her attention back to Maryse and Irish-whips her into the corner. Beth follows that up with an elbow to the side of the head and then a knee to the stomach. The Glamazon bends down and lifts her opponent into a seated position on the turnbuckle, Beth tries to climb but Maryse picks her leg up and smashes it into her face! The challenger stumbles backwards, feeling her mouth and she doesn’t see Maryse standing up on the second rope... AND THEN GOING FOR A CROSS BODY... BUT PHOENIX CATCHES HER IN MID-AIR... she waits a second, moves into the centre of the ring and LAUNCHES HER WITH A FALL AWAY SLAM!

Maryse ends up rolling out of the ring by way of the momentum and lands heavily on the mat below, hard on her shoulder. She feels it and tries to recover, she eventually does so, shaking lose the cobwebs and sees Beth coming towards her. In desperation, Maryse kicks out at Beth catching her in the back, and SHOULDER THRUSTING HER BACK INTO THE SIDE OF THE ANNOUNCE TABLE! Maryse breathes heavily, kneeling on the ground recovering while Beth holds onto her back on the mat. The champion reaches down and pulls Phoenix to her feet and grabs her by the back of the head and propels her into the ring apron! Maryse pulls her around the ring and THROWS HER INTO THE BARRICADE!

Maryse isn’t done however, the Diva pulls Phoenix to her feet and smashes her face into the Steel Steps! Phoenix collapses into a seated position next to the steps, and the champion turns her around and places her left leg propped up against the steps, and she ABSOLUTELY CRUSHES IT WITH A RUNNING BOOT!

With the referee nearly counting them out, Maryse throws Beth into the ring and scampers into a cover... 1... 2... NO! The Sultry Diva doesn’t waste time, she picks Beth up and Irish-whips her into the corner and follows her in, she grabs Beth’s leg and wraps it around the second rope. Beth tries to stop her but Maryse wrenches it around the ropes, the referee takes action and pulls Maryse off, the cheeky ref cops a feel before Maryse extends a hand into his face. Maryse turns her attention back to Beth, and kicks the leg which is still wrapped around the rope!

Maryse looks Beth in the eye before grabbing her by the neck and flipping her with a Snapmare take down. The current Undisputed Women’s Champion stands above Beth and shows off her body, getting some good heat from the women and some wolf whistles from the men, she walks around Beth’s body and then drops a knee on the leg! Maryse again takes in the atmosphere and gets the crowd to hate her even more as she walks around the ring, parading herself. She turns back to Beth who is clutching her leg, Maryse takes advantage showing off the extra training she has been doing and LOCKING IN A CLOVERLEAF SUBMISSION!

Maryse smiles as she feels Phoenix trying to clutch for anything beneath her, she wrenches it harder – inflicting more pain which can be told through the facial expressions of the challenger. The referee does his job and checks on her, asking if she wants to quit, but the heart shows through and she says no. Maryse meanwhile tries to up the pressure, tightening the hold to a scream from her rival, music to her ears. Again, the referee asks, but the answer is still the same, she isn’t giving up and uses all the strength in her arms to crawl and crawl, eventually getting within an fingers length of the ropes, SHE REACHES OUT... ONE LAST DESPERATE REACH... AND SHE GRABS THE BOTTOM ROPE!

Despair for Maryse, she thought she had the match won, but the ordeal isn’t for Phoenix as Maryse drags her into the centre of the ring, and crushes her neck with a leg drop before going for the cover... 1 ... 2 ... NO! Again, Maryse thought she had it won, so she takes it up with the referee who stands firm and emphatically shouts ‘2’. The current champion senses the time is nearly here to end it, so she pulls Beth to her feet and Irish-whips her, Beth rebounds off the ropes but ultimately falls victim TO A SPINNING BACKBREAKER! Is it over... 1... 2... ANOTHER KICK OUT!

Frustration starts to take hold as the champion punches the mat, Phoenix tries to regain her strength but when she climbs to her knees, Maryse pushes her back down and STEPS ONTO HER AND LOCKS IN A CAMEL CLUTCH! But instead of holding it, Maryse rolls backwards, still on Phoenix, and grabs her leg and locks it in a leg lock. The pain sears through the leg of the challenger, but she doesn’t tap out, she shows the heart and determination which got her to the championship in the first place. The heart comes through once more as Beth sits up, reaches over and smashes Maryse in the face with a right fist, and the champion breaks the hold.

Beth tries to gather some momentum, climbing to her feet and going for a clothesline but in Matrix style, Maryse dodges. She then kicks the challenger and Irish-whips her into the turnbuckle. Finally though, Beth gets some offense in as she elbows Maryse as she goes for a splash, and then continues with a couple more shots. But when Beth goes for another running clothesline... MARYSE DUCKS... AND HITS HER WITH THE FRENCH TKO FROM OUT OF NOWHERE! Maryse crawls to the cover, looking for a huge a win... 1 ... 2 ... NO! BETH GETS HER FOOT ON THE BOTTOM ROPE... SAVING HER CHAMPIONSHIP HOPES!

Maryse thinks she’s won but then sees the foot on the bottom rope and gets in the face of the referee, telling him that it should be over, Beth uses the ropes to get to her feet, still feeling the effects of the TKO and the leg damage. Maryse turns around, into a kick from Phoenix, and Beth grabs her and HOISTS HER UP FOR THE GLAM SLAM... BUT HER LEG BUCKLES FROM UNDERNEATH HER! And Maryse takes complete advantage... LOCKING IN THE FRENCH FIGURE FOUR! She wrenches and wrenches her modified Figure Four Leg Lock until eventually Beth has no choice but to tap out!


WINNER AND STILL UNDISPUTED WOMEN’S CHAMPION: MARYSE @ 11.32

Maryse slowly climbs off Beth and demands the referee to fetch her championship, and he does so, handing it to the champion who walks over to the ropes and flips her hair before holding the title above her head. Maryse takes a glance at Phoenix who is writhing in pain on the mat, before stepping out of the ring and heading up the ramp.

Michael Cole: A very accomplished performance by the current champion.

Mick Foley: The way she dissected the leg of Beth was something to behold, Michael, and it might just be true, y’know?

Michael Cole: What?

Mick Foley: On the back of this performance, she might just be the best Diva in the WWE right now.

The referee helps Phoenix to her feet but she pushes him away, and walks on her own accord.

*Backstage – Interview Area*​

Yup, it’s interview time and none other than Josh Matthews is waiting for us, he stands with that grin on his face waiting for his cue.

Josh Matthews: Please welcome my guest at this time... TJ Perkins.

~ Yes, right on cue, the camera pans out and we see none other than TJ Perkins standing beside Josh.

TJ Perkins: Hey man.

Josh Matthews: And TJ, you are competing in a match tonight against Montel Vontavious Porter, but before we get to that, I wanted to ask you – a lot of people have nicknamed you The Puma, care to explain why that is?

~ A smirk comes across the face of TJ as Josh puts the mic underneath his mouth...

TJ Perkins: Well, it’s funny, before I joined the WWE, I used to compete under a mask and my ring name at the time was Puma. It just stuck, and the reason I guess people have labelled me that in the WWE is because they’ve seen how dangerous, and how quick I am in that ring.

~ Perkins smirks as the fans give him a solid pop...

Josh Matthews: Alright, well you joined the WWE a few weeks ago, and already you’ve competed against some of the best and on Pay-per-view, and tonight you’ll compete against MVP... thoughts?

~ Again, Josh thrusts the mic under TJ’s mouth...

TJ Perkins: Yeah, I joined a few weeks ago after impressing the one and only Ric Flair-

~ TJ’s cut off as a huge ‘woo’ sounds off which he nods at...

TJ Perkins: Ric signed me to a contract and thrust me into action against Jack Swagger. When I was wrestling all over the world, my dream was to be a WWE Superstar, a lot of people told me I wouldn’t make it because of my size. But y’know what Josh? I proved them all wrong, I’m not your typical muscle bound Superstar, but guys like Shawn Michaels and Ric Flair proved you don’t need to be built like Hulk Hogan or Brock Lesnar to succeed.

~ Huge pop for the mention of Hogan and UFC’s Brock Lesnar...

TJ Perkins: And to stay in the WWE, I gotta’ compete and win. Tonight I compete against MVP, and y’know what, I’m lookin’ forward to it, I came to compete against the best and that’s just what I’m gonna’ do. In fact... not only am I gonna’ compete t’night... I’m gonna’ win.

Josh Matthews: Thank you for your time.

TJ slaps Matthews on the shoulder before turning away from him and walking off, going to get prepared for his big match later on tonight.

{Commercials}​

*Ringside*

Michael Cole: It’s true ladies and gentleman, in just four weeks time, the WWE will be invading the United Kingdom as RAW presents WWE Fully Loaded, and I can’t wait for that partner.

Mick Foley: I love the UK, Michael, they really don’t see a lot of the WWE live so whenever we go there we always know we’ll get a hot crowd.

Michael Cole: Well, they’ll get a good amount of WWE during that week, as we kick of our European Tour in the UK for Fully Loaded in the 02 Arena before heading all over Europe, with live shows scheduled for England, Scotland, Spain and Italy, it’s gonna’ be a hell of a month.

*REGALITY*​

Speaking of the UK, England and Scotland’s own WWE Superstars walk onto the stage, William Regal and his Intercontinental Title around his shoulder while Drew McIntyre and Nigel McGuiness has their new World Tag Team Championships around their stomachs. Regal’s sporting a pretty suave suit while the other two have gone for a more casual look, in ring gear and tee’s which say something about The Ruthless Monarchy. The threesome reach the bottom off the ramp, and survey the arena before settling into the ring.

Michael Cole: Last night, The Ruthless Monarchy managed to win both the Intercontinental Championship and the World Tag Team Titles – a great night for them, but it wasn’t without suspicious circumstances.

Mick Foley: I watched last night, and credit to Drew McIntyre and Nigel McGuiness, they won the championships by their own accord without help from Regal or that unknown man who we are yet to hear about.

Michael Cole: That unknown man you speak of interfered in the Steel Cage match last night, stopping Rey Mysterio from retaining his title via escaping the cage.

Mick Foley: I just hope we find out more about this.

Ask and you shall receive, Mick.

Drew McIntyre: A few months back...

‘Booooooooooo’...

Drew McIntyre: A couple of months ago, this man right here...

~ Drew nods to Regal who nods back...

Drew McIntyre: Mr. Regal recruited myself and Nigel to his group, with the promise of winning championship gold... and he kept his promise.

~ Drew smirks while Nigel points towards his belt around his waist, while the crowd let them know what they think...

Nigel McGuiness: That’s right, we are the new World Tag Team Champions. And we took these coveted titles from a couple of low life criminals... who didn’t deserve to hold these.

~ Regal and Drew nod at this statement while Nigel smirks...

Drew McIntyre: We (points at Nigel and then at himself) are just another great team in a long line of fantastic tag teams.

Nigel McGuiness: With one key difference... we are better than all of them. The Hardy Boyz (good amount of cheers despite knowing we will never see them again), Edge and Christian (another good pop for the popular Canadians), The Legion of Doom (extremely good pop) and many other teams, none hold a candle to us.

~ Crowd react with a massive amount of heat...

Drew McIntyre: And we owe everything... to this man (points at Regal).

~ Regal thanks Drew while the crowd give them heat and now it’s Regal’s time to speak...

William Regal: Thank you. Last night ladies and gentleman, was a great- no it was a glorious night for every British person across the world. The Monarchy is now laden in gold, just like the beautiful country of the United Kingdom is.

~ The American crowd doesn’t like this, Regal shakes his head...

William Regal: Now... it is that example of disrespect which is why we cannot wait until the WWE leaves these America for brighter shores in four weeks time. In just four weeks time, the WWE is taking their flagship show to the UK, where we will be shown the respect that we deserve.

~ Nigel and Drew nod in approval...

William Regal: Last night, just like Drew and Nigel did, I won championship gold by defeating one Rey Mysterio.

~ Huge pop for the mention of Rey...

William Regal: Very soon... I... no... we will walk into our country... covered in gold. When I walk in as Intercontinental Champion, it is then where I will re-activate the glorious and prestigious European Championship and become the Eurocontinental Champion.

~ Regal grins...

William Regal: But, there is a man I have to thank for last night, you must understand that this man was simply a back up, incase... on the off chance... Rey Mysterio would succeed in escaping the cage. Without further ado... from Preston, England... he is a champion bareknuckle fighter... please welcome to the Monarchy... WADE BARRETT!

*SURVIVAL OF THE SICKEST*​

For someone so new to the WWE, Wade Barrett gets an absolute disgusting amount of heat, the newest member of the Monarchy strides out wearing a tee with the arms cut off. Barrett, wearing black and gold trunks, takes in the atmosphere, nods at Regal and his new cohorts before setting off down the ramp.

Michael Cole: Listen to this reaction, Mick. This is what happens when you screw someone so popular as Rey Mysterio.

Mick Foley: Yeah these fans are really giving this Wade Barrett a piece of their minds, and for good reason, Michael.

Barrett jogs up the steel steps, climbs into the ring, shakes hands with Drew, Nigel and then finally Regal before being handed a microphone from him – he stands in the centre of the ring, waiting for the fans to shut up.

Wade Barrett: Allow me to-

~ Wade doesn’t even get a chance to speak before the boos reign down on him, Nigel and Drew tell the crowd to shut up while Regal presses for Barrett to continue...

Wade Barrett: Y’know somethin’... this is exactly the reaction that Mr. Regal here told me I would get... and frankly... I don’t give a damn.

~ This just spurs the crowd on in their hatred for this man...

Wade Barrett: What Mr. Regal said was true, I am a champion bareknuckle fighter and at one underground fight, I was spotted by him and recruited into this Monarchy. I’ve beaten guys up my whole life... and this will be no different, everyone in the back is put on notice, you step in my- you step in our way we will make sure it is the last thing you do.

~ Regal, Drew and Nigel nod in approval...

Wade Barrett: Regal saw how dangerous I was, on that night I defeated seven other men to win quite a hefty pay check... but it paled in comparison to what I was being offered here.

~ Another nod from Regal...

Wade Barrett: My name is Wade Barrett... and this group right here (Barrett points at everyone) is now the most dangerous group on RAW... the most dangerous group in the WWE. No one, nobody out here, nobody in the back, and certainly not Rey Mysterio can stop us... he found that out the hard way last night.

~ A smirk appears on the face of Wade as he remembers what he did to Rey at Judgment Day... but then suddenly...

‘BOOYAKA BOOYAKA’

*BOOYAKA 619*​

The fans nearly take the roof off the arena as the ever popular Rey Mysterio, the former Intercontinental Champion makes an appearance, walking onto the stage, not his usual jovial self – while The Monarchy turn to face the stage, in a line, Regal and Barrett in the middle and Drew and Nigel flanking them.

William Regal: Who the hell do you think you are... if you’re smart you’ll turn around and head backstage, sunshine – unless you want to come down to this ring for another beating?

~ Mysterio surveys the ring, calculating his odds which don’t look good...

Rey Mysterio: I came out here to say somethin’ to you... what you did last night... it was wrong.

~ Regal and Wade glance at each other, holding back laughter...

Rey Mysterio: Un verdadero campeón no recluta a los hombres a hacer el trabajo sucio, el campeonato está manchado.

~ Everyone of The Monarchy mouth ‘what’...

Rey Mysterio: A true champion doesn’t recruit others to do their dirty work... you aren’t a champion Regal... far from it.

William Regal: I hate to break it to you, but this Intercontinental Title shows otherwise.

~ Mysterio smirks, obviously expecting that...

Rey Mysterio: But now that I got what I wanted to say out the way... the second reason I came out here is because I want to fight.

~ This gets a huge pop from the crowd as Rey starts walking down the ramp, Regal the rest of The Monarchy get in position, almost disbelieving that Rey would walk into a cauldron like this... but he stops...

Rey Mysterio: Hold up, just one second... you really think I’d come into that ring when the odds are that stacked against me. Y’see... I brought some back up.

~ Rey points to the stage...

‘BROOKYLN BROOKYLN”

*BRINGIN’ DA HOOD TO YOU*​

It’s still four against three but that doesn’t stop JTG and Shad, Cryme Tyme sprinting out, to a huge pop, flowing down the ramp, joining Rey who joins the mid-run and the three of them slide into the ring.

WE HAVE A FIGHT ON OUR HANDS! Rey makes a beeline for Regal while JTG takes Nigel out with a takedown and Shad takes on both Wade and Drew on his own – his size helping him! The crowd are going absolutely crazy as lefts and rights are flying everywhere, the momentum swinging between the teams over and over! Eventually, JTG clotheslines Nigel over the top rope, and sees that Shad is in trouble as the two on one has caught up to him! He goes over to help and pulls Nigel off but gets lobbied with a huge uppercut, meanwhile Regal is still being attacked by Rey in the other corner!

Eventually Regal manages to squirm under the bottom rope and out of the ring, while Nigel runs at JTG who pulls the top rope down and he goes tumbling out of it! Meanwhile, we hear a thud and Barrett has planted Shad with a huge big boot! Shad is down but he isn’t out, he gets to his knees while Barrett makes a quick escape and joins his Monarchy stable mates on the ramp.


*THE GREAT GATE OF KIEV*​

While the new RAW General Manager, Jerry Lawler gets a good reception, the two teams are still focused on each other, looking like they want to kill each other. Jerry steps onto the stage with a microphone in his hand.

Jerry Lawler: Hold on a second guys! I was watchin’ backstage and wanted to make an announcement, judging my what I just saw, it’s safe to say you all hate each other. So, with that in mind I’ve got a match to make, after the commercial break, Wade Barrett... you will be in action against Cryme Tyme’s Shad!

~ This gets a pretty big pop, as the fans want to see some more action between these teams...

Jerry Lawler: But everyone will be banned from ringside. And another match, since both Cryme Tyme and Rey Mysterio have rematch clauses, in four weeks time... in the United Kingdom... Cryme Tyme will team with Rey to face the World Tag Team Champions and the Intercontinental Champion... in a winner take all six man tag team match!

~ What an announcement from our General Manager who smiles at the thunderous reaction from the crowd...

Jerry Lawler: Now... I want everyone bar Shad and Barrett to leave the ringside area... because we got a match!

Another pop from the crowd as Jerry backs away, pleased with his work tonight.

Michael Cole: What an announcement from our new General Manager – a six man tag team match at Fully Loaded!

Mick Foley Winner take all as well. And what about the match made for right now, Shad and Barrett... I’m extremely interested to see how Barrett will do in a match.

We head to a commercial before the match.

{Commercial Break}​

*Ringside*​

The best show on Monday’s returns and it’s straight to the ring for some action.

Match Three: Singles
Shad vs. Wade Barrett


A solid match between two good men, which was made to make Wade look good on his Monday Night Raw debut. It started out slow, both men feeling each other out, but it picked up towards the latter half of the match when Shad made a come back after suffering for most of the match up to this point. Breaking out of a sleeper hold, Shad came at Barrett with shoulder block after shoulder block, picking up a near fall before connecting with a Powerbomb, only to get another near fall. Shad attempted to end it right there but Barrett stopped him and hoisted him up and brought him back down to earth with what Mick Foley called The Wasteland for the three count!!

WINNER: WADE BARRETT @ 7.17

Picking up a solid win on his Raw debut, Barrett gets to his feet and walks over to the turnbuckle, climbs up it and raises his arms in the air, before punching his own hand. Wade steps over Shad as he leaves the ring.

Michael Cole: A very solid, impressive Raw debut for this, Wade Barrett.

Mick Foley: An extremely impressive debut, Shad is no slouch and Barrett just defeated him.

*Backstage – Legacy Locker Room*​

Indeed, we head backstage where we see the WWE Champion; Randy Orton pacing in the locker room, with Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes stood watching him, waiting on a decision.

Cody Rhodes: Well?

~ Orton stops pacing and turns to face the two men...

Randy Orton: Well, what?

Cody Rhodes: Who are you choosin’ to face The Undertaker?

~ Orton glances between Cody and Ted...

Randy Orton: Ted... you’re facing The Undertaker tonight.

~ No emotion from Ted, but Rhodes doesn’t look too pleased...

Cody Rhodes: Hold on, I should be the one who faces Undertaker. Hell, I’ve been on the receiving end of Choke Slams and Tombstones... I deserve this shot at him and-

Randy Orton: Deserve? You don’t deserve anything.

~ Orton gets in the face of Rhodes who doesn’t back down...

Cody Rhodes: Are you kiddin’ me? I’ve took beatings for you, I’ve watched you punt my brother in the head, if anything... I deserve a shot at you.

~ This gets a slight pop from the crowd...

Randy Orton: You want a shot at me? I don’t think you realize what you are saying... just remember before you joined this group, you were teaming with an old hack, and you weren’t going anywhere in this business. Now, you’re in the top group in the WWE, one of the two who are now hand picked to be top stars, and you want to throw that away?

~ Rhodes looks at the ground, thinking...

Randy Orton: Fine, I’ll give you some time to think about that. But I want you to remember this moment, because if you choose to go against me, in a couple of years time you’ll be doing nothing, while Ted here is main eventing WrestleMania’s.

~ Orton smacks Ted on the shoulder who appreciates the compliment...

Randy Orton: I expect your answer later tonight. Come on, Ted.

The WWE Champion brushes past Rhodes who watches him leave, he then looks at Ted who stares at him, he shakes his head and turns to leave, leaving Cody alone in the locker room.

*Backstage – MVP’s Locker Room*​

Instead of cutting to the ring or a commercial, it’s another backstage segment where MVP is sat on a steel chair, lacing up his boots while his ‘friend’ and ‘tag team partner’ is pacing behind him.

Mr. Kennedy: That’s what you gotta’ do... watch out for his speed... we know how fast he is. We don’t want you goin’ on another losing streak ya’ know what I’m sayin’? We need to keep our momentum up if we want a shot at the tag team titles, and you beatin’ TJ Perkins is the first step towards that, so you need to get your head in the game and focus.

~ Kennedy continues to speak while MVP still laces up his boots...

Mr. Kennedy: And somethin’ else... Ric Flair told us that we’d be a great tag team and I can see why... I mean... I was the one who snapped you out of that losin’ streak a couple of months back. The way I see it, hey...

~ Kennedy stops pacing and turns to MVP who is now finished lacing up his boots, MVP turns around to face Kennedy and we notice that MVP has a pair of earphones on, this draws laughs from the crowd as Kennedy’s mouth drops and MVP takes them out...

MVP: Uh... sorry, were you sayin’ somethin’?

~ Kennedy almost facepalms...

Mr. Kennedy: Are you freakin’ kiddin’ me? I was doin’ what I done before... y’know givin’ you advice... just like a few months ago when I snapped you out of that losin’ streak.

~ MVP rolls his eyes...

MVP: Aw hell naw man. Will you give it a rest with the losin’ streak, I ended it on my own man, a pep talk from you wasn’t what I needed... and I don’t need one now. I realize how dangerous Perkins will be, but I’m Montel Vontavious Porter... Mr. 305, if anyone can tame The Puma... it’s M... V... P.

~ The crowd say MVP in unison with him...

Mr. Kennedy: That’s cute... but ya know somethin’... it occurs to me that if I hadn’t snapped you out of that losin’ streak then you wouldn’t even be in a job.

~ MVP goes to retort but Kennedy stops him...

Mr. Kennedy: But hey, I’ll stop goin’ on about it because I know how great of a tag team we can be, Ric Flair said it himself... so I’ll let you get ready... I’ll be watchin’ your match. And then afterwards, we’ll set our sights on the tag team titles... and because I’m in the team... we will win them... because my name is MISSSTTTTEEEERRRR... KENNEDDDDYYYYYY!

~ Here it comes...

Mr. Kennedy: Kenneddddyyyy.

MVP doesn’t look to pleased with Kennedy’s cocky attitude towards him as he watches him leave. MVP shakes his head as we head to a commercial break.

{Commercial Break}​

*Ring Side*​

*SEXY BOY*​

Indeed, the fans go absolutely crazy as one of their favourites steps out from behind the curtain, wearing his usual kit with a ‘HBK’ vest on. Shawn Michaels hops his way down the ramp before kneeling on it and raising his hands in the air, setting off a huge pyrotechnic display behind him. He slaps a few hands afterwards before finishing his journey to the ring.

Michael Cole: It’s the moment all Shawn Michaels fans have been waiting for, after his injury at Backlash, he has returned tonight and looks in fine form, Mick.

Mick Foley: Oh yes, I know Shawn personally, even going so far to sayin’ we are friends, and he said to me earlier that he was so lookin’ forward to getting back in that ring tonight.

In the ring, HBK is stood with a microphone.

Shawn Michaels: Well-

~ He’s cut off by a barrage of HBK chants...

Shawn Michaels: Thank you for that. Y’know, it takes losing the thing you love before you truly realize how much you love it... and that thing is... this. All of you, every night I came out here and had your support, and tonight is no difference... and I thank you all for that.

~ The fans applaud and Michaels replies in kind by applauding them...

Shawn Michaels: I did... I truly missed coming out and performing... putting on a show that only good ol’ HBK can.

~ Lots of cheers...

Shawn Michaels: That’s right... The Showstoppa’, The Main Event... Mister WrestleMania is back... and he’s better than ever.

~ Another batch of cheers for Michaels...

Shawn Michaels: When I was sat on my couch watching everythin’ which was goin’ on, it was then I realized that this is my life. I can’t do anything else... this is me. I watched with envy at everyone else coming out here and ‘rasslin’ in this ring.

~ Michaels pauses, thinking of what to say next...

Shawn Michaels: But I did watch one person with interest... and that man’s name is... The Undertaker.

~ Huge pop for the mention of ‘The Deadman’...

Shawn Michaels: I sat in San Antonio and watched him... I went back and watched the WrestleMania match over and over... I think I actually lost count.

~ Michaels pauses...

Shawn Michaels: And when I was watching... I realized what went wrong. I realized that it was one... one tiny mistake which cost me ending The Deadman’s streak.

~ Bit of a mixed reaction...

Shawn Michaels: One mistake, if not for that mistake then I’d have ended the streak. And I know that I can defeat The Undertaker, I know he knows it too, and I guess it’s lucky that he was drafted to Raw because that means one thing...

~ HBK turns to the stage...

Shawn Michaels: Undertaker... I’m challen-

THE MIZ SUDDENLY SPRINTS INTO THE RING AND ATTACKS MICHAELS FROM BEHIND!

He drops down onto him like a Lion hunting its prey, he clubs away at the back of The Heartbreak Kid, before turning him over and going to work on the forehead!

‘This is disgusting!’

The Miz climbs off Michaels and takes his shirt off, and pulls him to his feet before PLANTING HIM WITH THE SKULL CRUSHING FINALE! And he leaves The Heartbreak Kid down and out in the centre of the ring.

‘Did you forget about me, huh?!

Miz kneels down beside Michaels.

‘Forget about The Undertaker because you have me to deal with.’

With the crowd booing him, The Miz gets to his feet and exits the ring, before backing up the ramp, while Michaels lies with his face buried in the mat.

Michael Cole: It seems The Miz has just made a huge statement, attacking Shawn Michaels who I think was in the middle of challenging The Undertaker to a rematch.

Mick Foley: He very well might be, but he has to forget about him because now he has to deal with a fired up Miz.

We fade to a commercial break...

{Commercial Break}​

*Ringside*

*Stronger*

The crowd respond with a solid cheer as TJ Perkins arrives on the stage, he poses for the fans before setting his eyes on the ring.

Michael Cole: TJ Perkins has had a rollercoaster ride of a first month here on Raw, managing to defeat Jack Swagger and then having his fist match on Pay-per-view.

Mick Foley: But he needs to make sure that he keeps his momentum going, and to do that he needs to beat MVP, no easy feat.

*I’m Comin’*​

Another good, but louder cheer for the arrival of MVP, who has Mr. Kennedy in toe who seems to be giving him a pep talk but Porter isn’t too pleased with hearing the words. He tries to block Kennedy out as he sets his sights on Perkins.

Michael Cole: After the advice of Ric Flair, MVP and Kennedy have been working as a team, but it seems MVP is getting tired of Kennedy’s cocky attitude.

Mick Foley: I can see why, it seems he won’t stop goin’ on about MVP’s losing streak that he is on.

Match Four: Singles
MVP w/Mr. Kennedy vs. TJ Perkins


This match was all about the styles meshing together, and it did just that as MVP and Perkins put on a top quality match. With Kennedy playing cheerleader at ringside, MVP took advantage early on, wearing down TJ, by attacking his legs to take out his high flying arsenal. Kennedy continued to cheer MVP on, but with a hint of cockiness, and you could see MVP was getting tired of it. Eventually, TJ found a way back into the match, connecting with a few stiff kicks and then going all out with some of his best moves including a standing corkscrew moonsault and a front chancery suplex which got a near fall. Kennedy was shaking his head and face palming at everything that happened to MVP, but he managed to get into the match once again, and looked to end it with The Ballin’ Elbow but TJ rolled out the way and hit a Roundhouse kick, and then went to the top rope and connected with the 450 Splash.

WINNER: TJ PERKINS @ 11.23

A huge victory for the newest member of the Raw roster, and he knows it as he slowly gets to his feet, and poses for the crowd on the turnbuckle. MVP manages to get to his feet and TJ drops down, turns around to face MVP who extends his hand and the two men shake each others hands in a show of respect.

Michael Cole: Great show of respect between these two athletes after a great match, but ladies and gentleman we aren’t done tonight because after the commercial break The Undertaker will take on Ted DiBiase and we are still to get Cody Rhodes answer to Randy Orton’s question. Join us after this break.

While we head to a commercial, we see MVP walking up the ramp with Kennedy beside him, who continues to tell MVP not to worry about it, everyone loses now and again, but Porter rolls his eyes at his ‘friend’.

{Commercial Break}
*Ringside*

*New Day*​

A good sized amount of heat is directed at Ted DiBiase who walks onto the stage without either Randy Orton or Cody Rhodes.

Michael Cole: Despite facing The Undertaker here tonight, Ted DiBiase looks very calm and collected.

Mick Foley: And that might be why Randy Orton chose him to face The Deadman.

*Graveyard Symphony*​

The roof nearly comes off as The Deadman slowly walks onto the stage, and The Undertaker continues his way down the ramp, his gaze set on the ring.

Michael Cole: The entrance never fails to send shivers down my spine.

Mick Foley: I’ve been in that ring when that gong hits and The Undertaker walks out, and it’s very intimidating.

Main Event: Singles
The Undertaker vs. Ted DiBiase


This match started off slow, with DiBiase ducking from The Undertaker’s advances before cheating to get ahead. Ted was on top for most of the match, without the help of his Legacy brethren but The Deadman made a comeback the only way he knows how. Taking it to the son of the Million Dollar Man and attempting to put him away with The Last Ride but the WWE Champion, Randy Orton appeared, sprinting down the ramp and jumping onto the apron. The Undertaker put DiBiase down and smashed Orton in the face with a right fist, but then Ted attempted to hit Dream Street, only for ‘Taker to counter into the Choke Slam for the win!

WINNER: THE UNDERTAKER @ 7.47

The Undertaker has done it! Despite interference from the WWE Champion, he is now headed to Fully Loaded to face Randy Orton!

Michael Cole: There we have it folks-

Michael stops in his tracks as Orton blindsides ‘Taker, forcing him into the corner and pounding on him with right fists. But, The Undertaker manages to power out, forcing his rival back a few paces, and then grabbing him by the throat!

BUT CODY RHODES IS IN THE RING!

He grabs Undertaker from behind and MANAGES TO PLANT HIM WITH CROSSRHODES!


‘God damn it’

‘It seems we have Rhodes’ answer’


Rhodes and the current WWE Champion awkwardly stare at each other, and eventually Ted DiBiase is back on his feet watching his two stable mates facing off. Eventually though... the two men shake hands and seemingly making amends from earlier on!

The last thing we see as the broadcast goes on the air if Legacy, united, standing over The Undertaker with no commentary and the crowd booing them loudly.

I'll be the first to admit that this isn't my best show, in fact - I think it's possibly the worst one I've posted in this thread. Something just didn't feel right when I read back through it, but to be completely honest, I can't be bothered deleting it and writing a completely new show. So, I pressed on with coding this, and while I think the writing isn't that great, it gets me from point A to point B.

Also, I get that some people might find the appointment of Jerry Lawler as Raw General Manager a bit of a boring choice, but right now for what I have planned, I need a GM who will be in the background and not be in the spotlight as opposed to what Raw's had in the past. Enjoy.

Re: C3K Presents: WWE 2009 - The Fear That's In Your Eyes

In some huge news, we’ve heard that Bret ‘The Hitman’ Hart has been signed to a WWE contract for a couple of appearances. This has come to a surprise to everyone as Bret, Shawn Michaels and Vince McMahon still have legitimate heat over the Montreal Screwjob incident. But Shawn Michaels is said to be willing to bury the hatchet, and was all for Bret making a return, but Vince was more apprehensive, apparently he had to be convinced by many backstage to allow it to happen. We’re not sure if this will result in a Bret/McMahon or a Bret/Michaels feud, or even if it is just to manage or put over The Hart Dynasty who are scheduled for a debut in the coming month.

On the subjects of pushes, it seems the plan is for The Brian Kendrick and Ezekiel Jackson to drop the WWE Tag Team Titles soon so Kendrick can move back to the singles division. Kendrick and Jackson was never earmarked for being a long reign but needs must, luckily the tag division is starting to fill out now with the arrival of Daniel Bryan and Kaval, and the upcoming debut of The Hart Dynasty. Officials are said to be extremely pleased with Kendrick’s work and with the gimmick he has, the sky’s the limit.

We have received word that a number of wrestlers have been signed to WWE contracts, these are as follows:
Former ROH Tag Team Champion – Tyler Black
Mexican Superstar – Mistico
The first ever Shimmer Champion – Sara Del Rey
Former World Tag Team Champion – Chris Masters
Former TNA Knockout - Jamie Szantyr aka Velvet Sky​

Masters is expected to re debut rather soon, but will more than likely be used as an enhancement talent for the current Stars. All of the other three have been sent to WWE’s developmental for a few months to learn the WWE style and to get rid of any ring rust. Mistico still has a few dates in Mexico to complete as does Tyler Black in the USA.

Rumour is that Tyler Black, despite his age, is expected for a call up after Summerslam, and is expected to be involved in the current Kane angle. Mistico on the other hand, is expected to be used in a more traditional sense, with the rumours swirling that the WWE are about to re-activate the Cruiserweight Title, Mistico would be a perfect fit on SmackDown, and as always there is the dream match of Mysterio vs. Mistico.

WWE have released their upcoming PPV/Notable Show schedule for the next wrestling calendar year, and you’ll notice that WWE have reverted to single branded PPV’s, which are as follows:

WWE Superstars – 04 June, 09​



The opening video of WWE Superstars plays and we cut into the arena where Michael Cole and JBL welcome us to the show. They run down the card including a main event of Bobby Lashley versus Vladimir Kozlov.

In the ring, stands Jimmy Yang, waiting for his opponent.

***MASTERPIECE***​

What?? Despite not receiving such a big welcome back, The Masterpiece Chris Masters, makes his return to the WWE, walking out onto the stage, and getting a few boos. Masters does his usual stuff on the top of the ramp before setting his eyes on Yang. The commentators acted shock that Chris Masters is back, but we are told that he is indeed a Raw Superstar, signed back by Jerry Lawler.

Match One: Singles Match
Chris Masters vs. Jimmy Yang
This is basically a squash match which is designed to make Masters look good in his return to the WWE. He runs through his arsenal of moves, showing off some new moves too and Jimmy Wang sells them like a champ’. Despite it being a match to make Masters look good, Wang gets a couple seconds of offense in before Chris took complete control, working over Wang before pinning Jimmy Wang with a Gorilla Press Drop/Forward Slam combination, which the commentators dub MasterSlam.
Winner – Chris Masters @3.36
Making his comeback tonight, Chris Masters picks up an impactful win over Jimmy Wang, who surprisingly put up a bit of a fight. Masters shows off his muscles before grabbing Wang again, and locking in the Masterlock, to which the crowd boo extremely loudly. Eventually, he lets go and backs away from Jimmy, before walking up the ramp.

Returning to Superstars, we’re backstage where Matt Striker is waiting.

Matt Striker: Ladies and gentleman ... my guest tonight is a former ECW Champion and a former United States Champion ... I give to you ... The Real Deal ... Bobby Lashley.

Getting a good pop from the crowd, Lashley enters the shot, all smiles.

Matt Striker: Bobby ... you are in the main event tonight against someone who has made your life hell over the past month ... Vladimir Kozlov ... your thoughts??

Lashley thinks for a moment.

Bobby Lashley: Matt ... t’night ... I’m not just gonna’ beat Kozlov ... I’m gonna’ make sure I never have to deal with him again.

Pop.

Bobby Lashley: Now ... this can’t be just a singles match ... we’ve had a singles match ... it’s been done Matt. We’ve also had a Street Fight ... we need to up the ante t’night.

Lashley turns to the camera, the smile gone from his face.

Bobby Lashley: Kozlov ... if you have the GUTS ... then you will accept my challenge ... to a LAST MAN STANDING MATCH!!

Massive pop from the crowd while Matt’s eyes widen.

Bobby Lashley: I-

SUDDENLY LASHLEY IS ATTACKED FROM BEHIND ... BY VLADIMIR KOZLOV!!

The crowd boo immensely as Kozlov smashes Lashley into the wall, head first! He stands above Lashley and screams “challenge accepted!” as we head back to ringside.

The commentators hype the Last Man Standing match before the next match can begin.


***LAMBEG***

The Fighting Irishman receives a respectful pop from the crowd as he walks out onto the stage, trusty weapon in hand. Finlay looks around the arena for a couple seconds before walking down the ramp and climbing into the ring.

Commercial Break​

***STRICKEN***

Oh this is gonna’ be good, exclaims JBL as Daniel Bryan, without Kaval or AJ Lee walks out from behind the ramp. He looks at Finlay before walking down the ramp, and interacting with some fans.

Match Two: Singles Match
Daniel Bryan vs. Finlay

The referee calls for the bell and the two men stay in their corners for a couple of moments, sizing up the man on the opposite side. Eventually, the two walk out from their corners and then circle the ring ... they keep circling until they lock up ... but Bryan ducks behind ... clasping his hands around the stomach of Finlay ... but he has a counter as he reaches up behind him and flips Daniel over his head!!

The two men lock up again, but Finlay grab the arm of Bryan ... before twisting and wrenching it ... twice over ... but Daniel flips forward ... his hand still in the grasp of Finlay ... but then straight after flipping he FALLS TO THE GROUND ... PULLING FINLAY AND FLIPPING HIM!

It’s a stalemate in the early going ... and the fans react with a respectful clap. Bryan wipes his mouth while they circle and they lock up once more but this time Finlay knees him just before ... grabs his arm and twists it around into a hammer lock!! Pushing the arm further up his back ... causing Bryan to wince in pain ... and then the Irishman puts his foot on the back knee of his opponent ... pushing him down to one knee and then pushing the other one down! Finlay then lowers Bryan onto the mat, stomach first!

Finlay keeps a hold of the arm, wrenching it every couple of seconds but Bryan manages to get up a little bit, and twist around so he’s in a seated position, while Finlay still keeps a hold of the arm. Bryan bends his legs and pushes himself to his feet, forcing Finlay up as well. With his free arm, he reaches up to Finlay’s neck and bends down ... flipping his opponent over once more but he doesn’t waste time ... diving on Finlay and locking in a side headlock.

This keeps Finlay down for a bit but eventually Finlay manages to get to his feet, he backs Bryan onto the ropes and pushes him to the other side. Bryan rebounds but he connects with a shoulder block which puts Finlay down ... he sets off running again while Finlay transitions onto his stomach ... Daniel hops over ... but gets caught with a deep arm drag on his way back!

Finlay keeps a hold of the arm, and then locking in a seated abdominal stretch. The referee checks on Bryan who tells him he doesn’t want to give up, Finlay takes a few seconds to slap the exposed side of his opponent. Bryan gets a second wind, stretching his legs out and pushing against the mat, pushing Finlay over onto his back and the referee begins counting, 1 ... 2 ... Finlay has to let go of the hold!

The two men get to their feet, Bryan taking a little longer and receives a huge knee to the gut before being the victim of a snap suplex and then a cover, 1 ... 2 ... NO!! Bryan kicks out and while Finlay looks at the referee ... Bryan reaches up out of nowhere and grabs Finlay by the arm and pulls him down onto his stomach .. before turning him onto his stomach and locking in an arm bar!!

But Finlay twists around, and flips over, flipping over Bryan which makes him break the hold. The two men climb to their feet, with Daniel smashing Finlay with a stiff uppercut and backing him into the corner with punches. With the Irishman in the corner, Bryan tallies off with a bunch of stiff kicks to the side and then to the legs.

Bryan grabs Finlay’s arm and Irish-whips him into the opposite corner ... but Finlay reverses ... but Bryan runs up the turnbuckle ... AND FLIPS OVER AN ONCOMING FINLAY!! As soon as Bryan lands he runs away from Finlay, rebounding off the ropes and SMASHING FINLAY IN THE FACE WITH A DIVING FOREARM!! Bryan goes for the cover, 1 ... 2 ... NO!!

Bryan pulls Finlay to his feet but the Irishman breaks Bryan’s arms away and knees him in the gut, clubs his opponent in the back and then drops to his knees. Finlay runs past Bryan and hits a running back knee to the back of Bryan’s head!! Cover, 1 ... 2 ... NO!! Finlay looks at the referee again but turns his attention to his opponent rather quickly. He Irish-whips Daniel into the corner, but with extra force which means Bryan whiplashes in the corner and falls to his knees.

The Irishman walks over to Daniel and lifts him to his feet, he hits a couple of right punches before Irish-whipping his opponent into the opposite corner!! Finlay backs into his corner and explodes out from it ... running towards Bryan ... but he gets TWO FEET UP!! BUT FINLAY CATCHES HIS FEET ON HIS SHOULDERS ... THEN THROWS HIS LEGS OUT OF THE RING AND BRYAN CRASHES TO THE MAT!!

The crowd gasp as Bryan smashes into the paper thin mat and lies limp. Finlay stares down at him for a moment before climbing down from the ring. The referee begins counting them out as the Irishman pulls Bryan to his feet and hits him with an uppercut which sends him backwards into the barricade. He leans on the barricade and watches as Finlay walks over to him, but he quickly catches him with a kick to the gut and then shoulder thrusts him into the ring apron!!

Finlay leans on the apron, feeling his back, in so much pain but Bryan doesn’t let up, he quickly slides into the ring and rebounds off the opposite of the ring ... RUNNING AT FINLAY ... AND SMASHING HIM IN THE BACK WITH A BASEBALL SLIDE!! And the Irishman careens forward into the black barricade!!

Bryan sits on the apron regaining his breath. Eventually, he walks over to his opponent and pulls him to his feet and slides him into the ring before going for a cover, 1 ... 2 ... NO!! Bryan looks at the referee who assures him it was a two count. Bryan turns around and waits for Finlay to get to his feet, and then Bryan goes behind him and LOCKS IN AN OCTOPUS HOLD!!

Bryan tries to wear his opponent down, using the move to get Finlay onto his knees, but Finlay shows incredible strength by standing up and falling backwards, onto Daniel ... but hurting himself in the first place!

Both men lie on the mat with Finlay getting to his feet first, picking Daniel up soon after and Irish-whipping him before connecting with a drop toe hold. Finlay keeps a hold of Bryan’s leg, and place him in a way so they can’t spring out while he LOCKS IN A SURFBORAD!! Pulling Bryan back before pulling back into the air!

The referee sees that Finlay’s shoulders are down and starts counting, 1 ... 2 ... Finlay manages to push himself off the mat but still holding the Surfboard in. This combination continues for at least a minute before Finlay decides to let go. The Irishman picks Bryan up and Irish-whips him into the corner ... but Bryan runs up the turnbuckle and tries to flip over Finlay again ... but the Irishman saw it coming and stopped running ... when Bryan lands he turns around right into a running shoulder block!!

Cover, 1 ... 2 ... NO!! Instead of wasting time, he picks Bryan up and pulls him into the corner, Finlay climbs onto the second rope with his arm wrapped around Bryan’s neck ... AND GOES FOR A TORNADO DDT ... BUT BRYAN MANAGES TO THROW FINLAY OFF BEFORE HE HITS IT!! The crowd pop for this as Finlay lands on his stomach while Bryan slumps in the corner, worn out from the match.

Finlay climbs up to his feet ... but Bryan sprints forward and jumps into Finlay ... LOCKING IN A GULLOTINE CHOKE!! Bryan tightens the hold which puts Finlay down to his knees, and he eventually collapses to the ground. Bryan’s on the bottom but manages to keep one shoulder off the ground which stops the ref’ from counting. The referee checks on Finlay who seems to be fading fast.

The Irishman reaches out for anything, even grabbing the ref by the shirt at one point. Eventually Finlay shows enough ring awareness to crawl backwards, dragging Bryan along and getting A FOOT ON THE BOTTOM ROPE!!

Bryan lets go of the hold, turns Finlay onto his back and goes for a cover, 1 ... 2 ... NO!! Shoulder shoots up! Bryan crawls to the ropes and uses them to get to his feet, he turns to Finlay who is on his knees. Bryan bounces off the ropes AND SMASHES INTO FINLAY WITH A RUNNING FRONT LOW DROP KICK!! Another cover, 1 ... 2 ... ANOTHER KICK OUT!!

Bryan grabs Finlay again, pulling him to his feet and then Irish-whips him into the corner. Bryan follows in quickly with a running clothesline, Finlay staggers forward but Bryan pulls him back into the corner!! Bryan climbs onto the second rope and reign down on Finlay’s forehead with punch after punch, the fans counting along with him! He manages to get to ten and stops, dropping down from his position on the second rope, walking away from Finlay and pointing to the sky.

Bryan turns to Finlay again and knees him in the stomach before lifting him onto the top rope! Daniel makes sure Finlay won’t fight back by hitting a couple of punches, he then climbs onto the second rope, wraps Finlay’s arm around his neck ... STANDS ON THE TOP ROPE ... AND SUPERPLEX’S HIS OPPONENT DOWN TO THE MAT!! THE CROWD REACTING WITH A MASSIVE CHEER!!

The referee begins counting them both out as both don’t move, the referee gets to six, but Bryan stops the count by twisting over and draping an arm over the chest of his opponent, 1 ... 2 ... KICK OUT!!

The fans react in shock, thinking it was over at that very moment. Bryan rolls onto his back, staring up into the ceiling, he turns onto his stomach and pushes himself up. Once he’s on his feet, he grabs Finlay by the head and pulls him up, teeing off on him with stiff kicks, pushing him back to ropes, before Irish-whipping him, Finlay rebounds into a running knee, flipping over the knee!! Bryan climbs to the top rope, wasting no time, waiting for Finlay to get up, and he goes for a flying cross body ... but Finlay rolls through and manages to keep a hold of Bryan ... BEFORE SMASHING HIM WITH A FALL AWAY SLAM!!

Finlay slowly goes for the cover, 1 ... 2 ... NO!! The fans pop at the kick out while Finlay pounds the mat in frustration. The Irishman decides to slow things down by locking in a sleeper hold, which actually gets some boos as they want some more action. Finlay ignores them, and wrenches the sleeper hold, choking the life force out of his opponent.

Daniel looks out, his neck has gone limp and the referee begins checking on him, pulling his arm up ... AND IT GOES DOWN ... he does it again ... IT GOES DOWN ... the third and final time ... THE ARM STAYS UP!!!

The crowd respond with a huge pop which fires Bryan up even more, shaking his fist as he transitions to his side and then to his feet. Finlay switches to a side headlock but he is still pushed back into the ropes and sent to the opposite, rebounding off and straight into a deep arm drag. Finlay gets up quickly, runs at Bryan, but gets caught with a hip toss this time!!

Finlay stays down for a moment, before getting to his knees, but Bryan smashes into him with a running knee to a pop and goes for the cover, 1 ... 2 ... THIS MATCH CONTINUES!! Bryan asks the referee, standing up and getting in his face before turning back to Finlay ... but GETTING CAUGHT IN A SMALL PACKAGE!! 1 ... 2 ... NO!!!

Both men get up at the same time but Finlay catches Bryan with a knee to the gut, goes for a right hand but Bryan ducks and tees off with stiff kicks once more. Before hitting a HUGE ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE TEMPLE ... FINLAY’S OUT .. .COVER ... 1 ... 2 ... NO!!!!

Again, Bryan argues with the referee, turns back to Finlay and pulls him to his feet, but Finlay catches him with a huge knee to the stomach. He irish-whips Bryan who ducks a clothesline attempt ... rebounds off the ropes ... AND GOES FOR A CROSS BODY ... BUT FINLAY CATCHES HIM IN MID-AIR ... BEFORE LIFTING HIM ONTO HIS SHOULDER ... ROLLING HILLS!!!! COVER!! IT’S OVER!!! 1 ... 2 ... NO!!! BRYAN KICKS OUT!!!

The crowd react with a massive cheer, amazed that Bryan managed to kick out of one of Finlay’s best moves. The two men lie on the mat beside each other, tired as hell before Finlay climbs to his feet and says it’s time to end it! He reaches down and pulls Bryan to his feet, but the smaller man breaks Finlay’s arms away and hits a back kick before setting off running towards the ropes ... bouncing off them but runs right into a stiff kick!!

Finlay grabs Bryan AND HOISTS HIM UP ... LOOKING FOR THE CELTIC CROSS ... HE STARTS TO RUN AND IS ABOUT TO HIT IT ... BUT BRYAN BREAKS AWAY ... BUT KEEPS A GRIP ON HIS ARM ... AND PULLS HIM TO THE GROUND ... HAS HE?? ... HE HAS ... THE LEBELL LOCK IS SYNCHED IN!!!!!

FINLAY TRIES TO FIGHT IT ... BUT EVENTUALLY ... HE HAS TO ... TAP ... OUT!!!!
Winner: Daniel Bryan @ 19.12
An absolutely brilliant match, Bryan let’s go of the Lebell Lock straight away and can’t even get to his feet, too tired to even move. The referee points at him as Justin announces him as the winner. The referee helps Finlay out of the ring and tends to him on the outside while Daniel begins to climb to his feet.

BUT SUDDENLY CURT HAWKINS AND ZACK RYDER RUSH THE RING ... TAKING DANIEL BACK DOWN TO THE MAT.

The two of them pounding on him with stomps and punches ... until ...

KAVAL SPRINTS DOWN THE RAMP TO HELP HIS FRIEND AND TAG TEAM PARTNER!

Kaval slides into the ring and is met by Hawkins, but Kaval takes him down to the ground and a brawl breaks out between them on the mat. They eventually brawl to the outside, but Ryder is still attacking Bryan in the corner.

But now, AJ LEE is in the ring, she walks over to Ryder and grabs him from behind ... but Ryder turns around AND LAYS HER OUT WITH A RIGHT HAND!!

The crowd shit on him so much as he says he thought it was Kaval ... speak of the devil ... Kaval slides into the ring and chases Ryder off before kneeling beside AJ. Hawkins joins Ryder on the ramp as they walk away, Hawkins seems pleased by Ryder can’t believe he just hit a women. Cole runs Ryder down for that, while Kaval checks on AJ, Bryan recovers and now notices what has happened.


Commercial Break​

Back from the commercial, we’re backstage where Katie Lea is deep in conversation with ... Drew McIntyre?? We can’t hear what they are talking about but they are interrupted when the ever nosy Matt Striker buts in.

Matt Striker: Uh ... sorry to interrupt ... I was wondering if I could get a quick word with you, Katie?

Katie nods at Matt and she and Drew go their separate ways.

Matt Striker: In just a few short moments ... you go one on one with Gail Kim ... which could go a long way in determining Maryse’s next challenger ... your thoughts??

Katie takes the microphone.

Katie Lea: My thoughts?? My thoughts ... the way I see it ... Maryse has only got a couple more weeks as the Undisputed Women’s Champion. And the one who is gonna’ end her reign ... it isn’t Gail Kim ... or Mickie James ... it’s gonna’ be me.

Little bit of heat.

Katie Lea: Tonight ... my quest to become Undisputed Women’s Champion begins tonight ... I’m gonna’ beat Gail Kim and then beat whoever else stands in my way until I get Maryse.

Matt asks another question.

Matt Striker: Thank you ... can I just ask you one more thing?? You were in deep conversation with The Monarchy member ... Drew McIntyre. Care to explain why??

Katie almost seems pissed off by that.

Katie Lea: No.

Short and sweet.

Matt Striker: Uh ... well ... thank you for your time ... and good luck tonight.

And with that, the interview is wrapped up as Katie goes off and Matt watches as she does so, checking her out, the pervert. :side:

***DARKNESS***

The WWE production theme plays as Katie Lea steps onto the stage, cracking her knuckles and then cracks her neck. Katie starts walking down the ramp, telling Gail it’s her time.

Match Three: Singles Match
Gail Kim vs. Katie Lea

Solid match between two of the better workers in the Divas division. The momentum switched between them numerous times in the early going but Katie’s aggression came into play and she took complete advantage a couple of minutes in. Showing how dangerous she can be, she worked over Gail like a pro, targeting each body part. But in the end, Gail made a comeback, getting a couple of near falls before Katie took advantage again, staking a claim to the Undisputed Women’s Championship by pinning Kim in the centre of the ring.
Winner: Katie Lea @4.15
Katie, true to her word, picks up the victory tonight, and sets off on her quest to become Undisputed Women’s Champion. The commentators put her over as we head to a commercial break.

Commercial Break

Back from the commercial, we get a split screen view of Bobby Lashley and Vladimir Kozlov walking down a corridor. The commentators then say the Last Man Standing match is up next.

***

The video opens with WWE production theme, “Bring it” playing over it.

“One of the most dominating Superstars I have ever seen!”

Clips of Lashley making his debut, and then winning the ECW Title.

“The Russian is one of the scariest men I’ve seen!”

Jim Ross: Will Kozlov ever meet his match??

***HELL WILL BE CALLING***

Lashley’s theme plays over the video, and we see Kozlov at Backlash and we witness the return of Bobby Lashley.

Clips of Lashley hitting the Dominator and picking up the victory.


Jim Ross: Kozlov has met his match!

This rivalry isn’t done though as we get a series of clips of their brawls, which occur on both Raw and SmackDown before witnessing their Street Fight on SmackDown.

We now see Lashley’s interview from earlier, challenging Kozlov to a Last Man Standing match and then the Russian attacking him and accepting the challenge.


***

There is a buzz in the arena before ...

***PAIN***

The arena erupts with heat as the big Russian stomps onto the stage, and with a scowl on his face, proceeds down to the ring.

***HELL WILL BE CALLING***

An exact opposite of Kozlov’s reaction, instead it’s all cheers as Bobby Lashley bounds onto the stage ... but he doesn’t waste any time with pyro ... instead HE MAKES A BEELINE FOR THE RING ... HIS EYES SET ON KOZLOV!

MAIN EVENT: LAST MAN STANDING
Bobby Lashley vs. Vladimir Kozlov

Lashley slides into the ring and meets an oncoming Kozlov and takes him down to the mat!! The crowd are on fire as the Lashley pounds him with shot after shot! Continuing to lay into the head of Vladimir with right fists! The referee can’t do anything because anything is legal ... but eventually Kozlov reaches out and grabs the bottom rope ... and pulls himself out of the ring, with Lashley getting his arm caught on the second rope as he still tries to punch Kozlov.

Vladimir tries tor recover but he doesn’t get any time as Bobby slides out of the ring and grabs him from behind ... and SMASHES HIS HEAD OFF THE ANNOUNCE TABLE!! Cole and JBL get the hell out of the way as Lashley pulls the monitors out of the table, getting a huge pop from the fans as he does so. The Real Deal turns his attention back to Kozlov who is just on his feet ... he grabs him by the head and RUNS HIM INTO THE RING POST ... BUT KOZLOV TURNS THE TABLES ... PUTTING HIS FOOT OUT ONTO THE POST ... STOPPING BEFORE ELBOWING LASHLEY AND SENDING HIM INTO THE CORNER!!

The referee checks on Lashley but Kozlov is right on him, picking him up and hoisting him up into a body slam position ... but instead of slamming him down ... he drops him neck first onto the top of the barricade!! Lashley drops down holding his neck while Kozlov snarls, before grabbing the padding on top of the barricade and ripping it off. The Russian pulls Lashley to his feet, and smashes his head off the metal of the barricade!! And then shoulder thrusting Lashley into the ring apron!! Bobby winces in pain but isn’t allowed any time as Vladmir grabs him and Irish-whips him into the corner of the barricade!!

Lashley winces again, holding his back, and then manages to climb to his feet, using the barricade for support ... but then KOZLOV SPRINTS FORWARD ... GOING FOR A BIG BOOT ... BUT LASHLEY DUCKS AND KOZLOV IS HUNG UP ON THE BARRICADE!!! Lashley crawls away as Kozlov manages to unhook his leg from the barricade ... but he turns around ... RIGHT INTO A SPEAR ... THROUGH THE CORNER OF THE BARRICADE!!!

HOLY SHIT ... HOLY SHIT!! The crowd are in an uproar, amazed by the Kozlov being Speared right through the barricade!! Some cheeky fans tap Kozlov and then grin at the camera before security gets them to their feet and the referee is on hand to begin counting ... both men who are down!

Instead of waiting for him to get up, Lashley grabs him and pulls him to his feet, and holds his head as he measures a couple of punches, before kneeing Vladimir in the gut. The fans around them cheer Lashley on as he drags Vladimir through the crowd, reaching an elevated part which has seats on top of it ... Lashley goes to smash Kozlov’s face off the wall but Kozlov turns the tables ... SENDING LASHLEY INTO THE WALL!!

Lashley falls to the ground but doesn’t get a chance to recover, the Russian pulls him to his feet and knees him in the gut before pulling him along the crowd, making sure to hit him a couple of times before reaching the stage. Kozlov throws Lashley onto the stage before climbing up himself from the concrete, but when he stands up he receives a boot to the stomach and then Lashley TRIES TO SUPLEX HIM ON THE STEEL ... BUT KOZLOV HOOKS HIS LEG AROUND BOBBY’S ... BEFORE PLANTING LASHLEY WITH A SUPLEX!!! ON THE STEEL!!!

Kozlov hurt himself and it shows when he sits up and clutches his neck, but the big man manages to get to his feet as the referee begins counting Lashley out.

The Russian reaches down and pulls Bobby to his feet and drags him down the ramp and rams him into the side of the barricade!! Before picking him up again and throwing him into the STEEL RING POST!!

Lashley keels over and gets a club in the back for his troubles before Kozlov grabs him by the head and tights ... throwing him into the ring!

Vladmir doesn’t follow straight away, instead he reaches underneath the ring and pulls out a STEEL CHAIR! Kozlov slides into the ring with it in his hand, and sprints forward, lifting it high above his head ... BUT LASHLEY CATCHES HIM WITH A HUGE SPINEBUSTER!!

With both men down, the referee begins counting!

Re: C3K Presents: WWE 2009 - The Fear That's In Your Eyes

WWE Friday Night SmackDown | 05 June 09 | San Antonio, Texas​

“When I look in the mirror ... I see a champion ... I see THE World Heavyweight Champion”​

Still images of the Judgment Day PPV from last Sunday; featuring the exploits of Kane setting fire to Christian, Edge making sure that he never has to deal with Vickie Guerrero and Big Show, Kofi Kingston and Matt Hardy winning the United States Title and the World Heavyweight Championship, respectively.​

Opening Video

Pyro​

Jim Ross: Welcome ladies and gentleman to Greenboro, North Carolina where the SmackDown Superstars are ready to put on a show for everyone here. My name is good ol’ J.R and my partner here is none other than John Bradshaw Layfield, and we thank you for welcoming us into your homes. After last Sunday’s PPV you can expect some huge ramifications tonight, but what a night it was.

JBL: It was indeed a great night because FINALLY we have a champion that we can be proud off, someone who worked his way to the top, through adversity and hatred to become the World Heavyweight Champion, and that man’s name is Matt Hardy.

Jim Ross: Not only that, we saw R-Truth lose his United States title to Kofi Kingston in the Gauntlet match and these two are now scheduled to compete tonight, but in a tag team match.

JBL: I think that’s damn ludicrous, it’s Teddy Long’s ego playing up again.

Jim Ross: What??

JBL: You heard me ... I think our esteemed general manager has a grudge against R-Truth ... puttin’ him in a Gauntlet ... and then forcin’ him to team with the man who won that title. It’s a conspiracy.

Jim Ross: Dear god ... anyway ladies and gentleman, also tonight we have Daniel Bryan and Kaval in action against Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder in a feud which has spilled over from our sister show, WWE Superstars.

***HUNT YOU DOWN***​

The heat is almost unfathomable which is directed at the NEW World Heavyweight Champion, Matt Hardy, who strides out in a pair of jeans and a leather jacket, and the main attraction being on his shoulder.

Jim Ross: And there he is, the man who became the World Heavyweight Champion last Sunday, but he didn’t actually pin-

JBL: Hold on ... I know where you’re goin’ with this ... and I don’t like it. So what if Matt didn’t pin John Cena ... this was a Fatal-4-Way, Matt is still the rightful World Champion.

Jim Ross: I’m not debating whether or not Matt is the rightful World Champion because he did win the match, and that’s all that matters ... all I’m saying is that John Cena might feel hard done by.

JBL: Who cares?? John Cena knows the rules of the Fatal 4 Way match, that man right there took advantage of a situation presented to him and became the World Heavyweight Champion.

The World Champion climbs into the ring, now with a microphone, and stands in the centre.

Matt Hardy: Finally-

The poor man doesn’t even get a chance to speak as the fans direct abuse at him, he ignores the boos before pressing on.

Matt Hardy: Finally ... after all these years ... I am YOUR World Heavyweight CHAMPION!!

Matt rubs the big gold belt on his shoulder, smiling as he does so.

Matt Hardy: Last night, I walked into Judgment Day ... and I walked out as the World Champion. Somethin’ that you people ... AND the people in the back did not want ... I overcame Teddy Long’s bias ... I overcame the fact that nobody saw me as a main event level Superstar.

A grin appears on the face of Matt and he looks dead in the camera.

Matt Hardy: But ... I proved them all wrong.

Boos from the crowd who once loved him.

Matt Hardy: I defeated not one ... not two ... but three top Superstars and one my first Heavyweight Championship.

Another batch of heat from the fans, and he starts pacing the ring.

Matt Hardy: After years ... YEARS ... of bein’ held back ... after all the years of suffering. And you people ... boo me??

The crowd respond with more boos as Matt’s attitude doesn’t sit well with them.

Matt Hardy: You boo me?? You should be cheerin’ me ... my story could and should be made into a film or a book ... hell ... it’s a readymade script. I came into this company as a nobody ... and became a tag team legend ... before winnin’ championship after championship but never being given that green light ... never been given a shot at the top title. I sat and watched as my brother, Jeff Hardy was given all the opportunities ... and become WWE Champion.

Huge pop as the fans remember the time when Jeff was the WWE Champ’.

Matt Hardy: I realized that I was goin’ nowhere ... but that wasn’t my fault ... I did everything I could ... I blame each and every one of you.

Matt looks at individuals in the crowd.

Matt Hardy: After I stopped caring about you people ... my career shot up. Just like The Rock and Triple H’s did ... just like Chris Jericho and Edge’s did ... they all turned their backs on you and are better off for it.

Hardy adjusts the belt on his shoulder.

Matt Hardy: I overcame so much to win this title ... it was obvious that Teddy Long didn’t want me as World Champion ... I was on this brand for many years ... and he never once gave me that opportunity ... so I TOOK it!

Hardy nods.

Matt Hardy: I turned my back on everyone ... I turned my back on you people ... my own family ... my brother. But y’know what??

Hardy thinks for a second before glaring into the camera with a grin.

Matt Hardy: It was ALL worth it.

Huge amount of heat.

Matt Hardy: Just look at me now ... y’know ... a few weeks ago the FORMER champion John Cena told me to look in the mirror ... and he said that I wasn’t as good as I thi ... know I am.

Matt looks at the title.

Matt Hardy: When I look in that mirror ... I see a champion ... I see THE World Heavyweight Champion!

***MACMILLITANT***​

As Matt goes to leave he stops in his tracks and swiftly turns to the stage to see the SmackDown General Manager, Theodore Long walk out with a microphone in his hand.

Theodore Long: Now hold on a second there, playa’.

Matt blows air out his mouth, exasperated at being interrupted by the GM.

Theodore Long: Despite everythin’ you just said Matt about me ... I am out here ... to congratulate you.

Heat, while Matt cocks his head.

Theodore Long: That’s right ... I’m happy for ya’ playa’. But I’m the GM of this show and that means I need to make this show as excitin’ as can be ... ya’ feel me?? T’night, Matt ... you will be in action.

Matt shakes his head, not happy with being made to compete tonight.

Theodore Long: T’night-

Matt Hardy: Hold on ... don’t you realize that I am the World Heavyweight Champion?? The champion shouldn’t be forced into matches.

Theodore Long: Well ... tell it to someone who cares ... because t’night... you will face the former World Heavyweight Champion ... JOHN CENA!

Absolutely huge pop for the big match made for tonight but Matt isn’t pleased at all.

Theodore Long: AND ... when you do face Cena ... that championship ... the World Heavyweight Championship WILL BE DEFENDED!

WHAT?! An even bigger pop comes from the fans as they are absolutely loving the GM right now. Matt, meanwhile, kicks off in the ring, cursing and complaining about Teddy.

Matt Hardy: Are you freakin’ kiddin’ me! I’ve had no time to prepare ... I don’t deserve this ... I-

Theodore Long: Like I said playa’ ... tell it to someone who cares ... t’night it will be Matt Hardy defendin’ his World Heavyweight Championship against John Cena in our main event! Enjoy the show... holla holla!

***MACMILLITANT***​

Looking rather pleased with himself, Theodore turns and leaves the stage, while Matt seethes in the ring.

Jim Ross: What a huge match! What a-

JBL: It’s a DAMN disgrace, J.R. If this doesn’t prove that Teddy Long just doesn’t like Matt Hardy then I don’t know what will.

Jim Ross: I think our SmackDown GM was just doing the best job he could, we have a huge match for later because of him.

JBL: A match that shouldn’t take place... c’mon ... Matt was right ... Teddy did hold him back for years and now he’s tryin’ to take that title away from him! It’s a damn disgrace.

COMMERCIAL BREAK​

We return and we’re backstage where Theodore Long’s assistant Layla is waiting, standing in front of the camera, wearing slutty business attire.

Layla: Welcome back to SmackDown ... and I have a HUGE announcement ... which I’m SO happy to announce to you.

Layla brings up a briefcase and clicks it open and turns it to the camera and we see the WWE Cruiserweight Championship.

Layla: Right here is the prestigious Cruiserweight Title ... and as of right now ... I am re-activating it.

Pop.

Layla: And to determine the lucky Superstar who gets to hold it ... will be decided in a few weeks at The Bash, and in the run up will be a tournament to determine the two men who will fight for this title.

Layla closes the briefcase and lays it down.

Layla: And that tournament ... starts right now.

Layla smiles at the camera as we fade away ...

... to ringside where ...


***HERE TO SHOW THE WORLD***​

The music of Dolph Ziggler hits and gets a small negative reaction as the man himself walks onto the stage. He takes a moment before walking down to the ramp.

Jim Ross: Dolph Ziggler had a great showing at Judgment Day, coming within a inch of becoming the United States Champion, but now he has the opportunity to become the next Cruiserweight Champion.

***CHAVITO ARDIENTE***​

Opposite to Ziggler’s reaction, Chavo Guerrero receives a mostly small but positive response. Soon enough, The Mexican Warrior makes his way to the ring.

JBL: I tell ya’ ... this mans uncle ... the late great Eddie Guerrero put my life through hell and he still carries Eddie around with him in his heart and he’ll need to put on a great performance to defeat Dolph Ziggler.

Jim Ross: Indeed, the fans have taken to Chavo over the past few weeks after he distanced himself from Vickie Guerrero and showed his respectful side.

Match 1: Cruiserweight Tournament Round 1
Chavo Guerrero vs. Dolph Ziggler
Given the two men in the ring, they put on a pretty good opening contest in the time they were allowed, kicking off the Cruiserweight Title Tournament in style. The opening few minutes consisted of some solid chain wrestling, neither man able to gain an advantage of substance. The momentum continued to swiftly change between the two men, although the fans were clearly pulling for The Mexican Warrior, which gave him the extra push to eventually wear down Ziggler and take the advantage.

Chavo, relishing his recent face turn, took it to Ziggler for a few minutes, getting a couple of near falls and even hitting the Three Amigos before Ziggler managed to get back into the match, ducking a Frog Splash from the top rope. Ziggler took complete control at this point, almost bullying Chavo around the ring, showing how ruthless he can be. After all the crap he took on Raw and almost winning the United States title, there was no way he was losing this match and eventually took the win after connecting with the Zig-Zag for the three count.


Winner – Dolph Ziggler @ 7.20

Dolph Ziggler has now booked his place in the second round, defeating Chavo Guerrero, he climbs to the top rope and taunts the fans as he celebrates his win.

Commercial Break​

We’re back, and we’re backstage where Kaval is in his locker room, preparing for his tag match later by practicing his kicks on a punching bag. He’s interrupted though as his tag team partner Daniel Bryan, AJ Lee by his side.

Daniel Bryan: Hey man. You ready for tonight??

Kaval: Hell yeah. After what Hawkins and Ryder did to us on Superstars ... you better believe I’m ready.

The two Superstars slap hands but then are interrupted when Matt Striker walks in, microphone in hand.

Matt Striker: Uh ... guys ... sorry to interrupt but I’d like to get a word with AJ if that’s alright.

Kaval and Bryan check its okay with AJ, which it is, before leaving the room.

Matt Striker: AJ ... yesterday on Superstars ... Zack Ryder accidently knocked you out ... he says it was an accident and he was aiming for Daniel but can we get hear what you have to say??

Matt thrusts the mic under AJ’s mouth.

AJ Lee: Y’know what ... I know Zack knew what he was doing ... but what he doesn’t know is that I’m a big girl ... I can take care of myself and when Daniel and Kaval face them later tonight ... I’ll be right there to watch Zack and Curt get what’s comin’ to them.

Matt takes the microphone back.

Matt Striker: Thank you for your time.

AJ walks away to presumable join her boys as Matt watches her leave.

Cut to ringside and it’s time for the second match of the evening as Tommy Dreamer is already in the ring with Stevie Richards on the outside.

***MAN WITH A PLAN***​

A solid batch of heat greets the arrival of the WWE Tag Team Champions as The Brian Kendrick and Ezekiel Jackson walk onto the stage, TBK with microphone in hand.

The Brian Kendrick: Cut the music!

On cue.

The Brian Kendrick: It’s disgustin’ ... the fact that once again Teddy Long has found a way to stick it to The Brian Kendrick. Puttin’ me in a match against some low rent ... bingo hall ... reject-

Kendrick is cut off by huge heat while Dreamer tells him to get in the ring.

The Brian Kendrick: Oh ... and y’know what’s worse ... the fact that this match has to take place in San Antonio.

Cheap heat.

The Brian Kendrick: Right now ... I’ll admit I’ve not very happy ... but in a few minutes time I am gonna’ be over the frickin’ moon. Let The Brian Kendrick tell you all why ... in a few minutes I’m gonna’ defeat Tommy Dreamer ... and The Brian Kendrick and Ezekiel Jackson are gettin’ the hell out of this cesspit you call a city.

Oh it’s the cheapest of cheap heat, but it’s effective.

The Brian Kendrick: But before I do that ... I realized somethin’ ... ever since you two were signed to this brand ... you’ve had opportunity after opportunity at these titles and yet you still get another one here tonight. The fact that if you beat The Brian Kendrick ... which won’t happen ... but hypothetically ... if you did ... then you’ll get another shot at these titles. What is with Teddy Long’s obsession with you guys??

Brian doesn’t wait for answer.

The Brian Kendrick: But ... I guess The Brian Kendrick will have to beat you once again ... and show you how to be a champion.

Cocky words from one half of the tag team champions, and now that he’s done the match can begin once he climbs into the ring.

Match 2: Singles Match
~ If Tommy Dreamer wins The Lifeblood of Extreme will receive a WWE Tag Team Title shot
The Brian Kendrick w/Ezekiel Jackson vs. Tommy Dreamer w/Stevie Richards
Short match here, but it was a solid affair, Dreamer showed he can still cut it at this level in a regular match and with Richards cheering him on at ringside he took the advantage in the early going. He used his size advantage to take it to Kendrick, even hitting a Superplex from the top rope which got a near fall. But Ezekiel Jackson knew that Kendrick was in trouble and helped him out by tripping Dreamer, but he got more than he bargained for when Richards ran around the ring and low drop kicked him.

From then on, Kendrick was in control, hitting some of his signature moves, nearly picking up the victory at some stages. But, Dreamer managed to make a comeback, getting the crowd fired up and almost picking up the win but getting pulled out of the ring by Jackson, Jackson was admonished by the referee who then ejected him from the ring.

But while Jackson was being ushered out by the referee, Dreamer was tossed a kendo stick by Richards and cracked it off the head of Kendrick, calling on the referee to ran back to the ring and counting the pin!!


Winner – Tommy Dreamer @ 5.04

Thanks to help from Stevie Richards on the outside, Tommy Dreamer has picked up the huge victory which means The Lifeblood of Extreme will receive a WWE Tag Team Championship shot in the near future.

Jim Ross: There we have it folks ... Tommy Dreamer has beaten The Brian Kendrick-

JBL: By cheatin! But even though Dreamer cheated ... Teddy Long won’t care ... oh no ... he’ll ignore but if it was Brian Kendrick that cheated then we wouldn’t hear the end of it.

Jim Ross: Well I can’t speak for Theodore Long, but I’m sure he was watching.

JBL: Won’t mean a damn thing.

Speak of the devil, we cut backstage and see the SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long in conversation with his assistant, Layla.

Theodore Long: I gotta’ hand it to ya’ ... re-activating the Cruiserweight Title ... that was genius.

Layla: Yeah ... I mean what with SmackDown losing the Divas Championship in the draft ... I felt-

Lay’ stops speaking as the former United States Champion, R-Truth barges into the office.

R-Truth: You think you’re funny??

Long seems confused.

Theodore Long: I’m sorry playa’ but I don’t know what your talkin’ about??

Truth shakes his head in disgust.

R-Truth: Don’t try to play me ... you know exactly what I’m talkin’ about. Puttin’ me ... forcin’ me to defend the U.S Title in a Gauntlet-

Theodore Long: I thought we were over this, playa ... SmackDown is full of talented Superstars who wanted a shot at that title and a gaunt-

R-Truth interrupts him.

R-Truth: An’ then forcin’ me to team wit’ the man who took my title ... ‘da hell is ‘dat.

Long goes to give an answer but gets cut off again.

R-Truth: I see it now ... the truth has revealed itself ... just like Matt Hardy and Brian Kendrick said ... you’re bias towards certain guys.

Theodore Long: Listen here playa’ ... my job is to be impartial as possibl-

R-Truth: Well explain why Dreamer and Richards get title shot after title shot ... explain why you’re forcin’ Matt to defend his title tonight ... explain why YOU screwed me out of the U.S Championship!?

Layla looks worried.

Theodore Long: I didn’t do no such thing ... you couldn’t get the job done at Judgment Day ... and if you want to see that title again ... then I suggest you do somethin’ impressive in the tag match later on t’night ... ya feel me playa’. Now get the hell of my office.

Huge pop for Teddy putting Truth in his place, he stays for a second staring into Long’s eyes before accepting it and leaving.

Commercial Break​

Back from the commercial, we’re backstage where Matt Striker is stood with a microphone in his hand.

Matt Striker: Welcome back to Friday Night SmackDown ... and before I give you our interviewee ... our cameras caught this during the commercial break.

DURING THE COMMERCIAL

We see R-Truth walking along a corridor, looking rather pissed off but then he bumps into the NEW United States Champion Kofi Kingston.

Kofi Kingston: Sorry man-

Kingston looks up.

Kofi Kingston: Oh ... hey ... you ready for our match??

R-Truth nods.

Kofi Kingston: Look man ... I know you ain’t happy about havin’ to defend the title in a Gauntlet ... I wouldn’t be either but t’night-

R-Truth: Listen ... my beef ain’t wit’ ‘chu ... its wit’ Teddy Long.

Kofi Kingston: So I can count on you t’night??

R-Truth and Kingston shake hands, signifying the unity between them before the match.

BACK TO THE MAIN SHOW

Back to Striker ...

Matt Striker: Ladies and gentleman ... my guest tonight ... I give to you ... Kelly Kelly.

A good pop greets the pretty blonde as the camera pans out.

Matt Striker: And Kelly ... I wanted to ask you ... do you know the state of Evan Bourne after what happened to him at Judgment Day??

Kelly looks down at her feet before answering.

Kelly Kelly: I do ... and it’s better than expected ... Evan should be back in action in a couple of weeks.

She says with a smile, but that smile disappears when Mike Knox enters the shot.

Mike Knox: Hmm ... back in a couple of weeks, huh?? So I guess that’s a couple of weeks until I put him out of action again.

Kelly rolls her eyes but then Knox walks towards her, scaring her a little.

Mike Knox: But until your boyfriend shows up again ... you’re coming with me.

Mike grabs Kelly by the arm and too huge heat, ushers her away from the camera, leaving Matt Striker watching on. Striker, always the brave guy, simply throws it back to ringside.

Jim Ross: I don’t like this one bit ... Kelly is in such a vulnerable state right now and now she has Mike Knox to deal with. The sooner Evan Bourne recovers the better.

JBL: Please ... Evan Bourne won’t be able to save her from Knox, the size of Mike alone makes him such a formidable rival.

Jim Ross: Well, I hope someone does. Ladies and gentleman, remember later on tonight the World Heavyweight Championship will be on the line as Matt Hardy makes his first title defence against John Cena.

JBL: Which I think is an utter travesty ... c’mon let the guy celebrate his title win for one night.

Jim Ross: Ladies and gentleman, despite my partners concerns, I’m extremely excited for this match. But right now, it’s time for the Raw Rebound.

RAW REBOUND
~ Jerry Lawler being announced as the new General Manager
~ Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes arguing backstage
~ The Undertaker earning a WWE Championship via defeating Ted DiBiase
~ Cody Rhodes attacking ‘Taker and Legacy standing tall


Back on SmackDown ...

***AIN’T NO STOPPIN’ ME NOW***​

A little bit of heat greets The Gold Standard, as Shelton Benjamin makes his way down to the ring.

Jim Ross: In my opinion the greatest pure athlete in the WWE, and if he manages to pin the United States Champion here tonight, then that puts him right in the running for the number one contender ship.

***DEATH GRIP***​

Heat again for Shelton Benjamin’s tag team partner as Mike Knox walks out but he gets even more heat as we see that Kelly Kelly is walking beside him, Knox with a hold of her arm.

Jim Ross: Kelly is petrified of this man, and who can blame her ... we’ve seen what he can do when he brutalized Evan Bourne at Judgment Day, this is sick.

JBL: It is ... I’ll give you that ... but who can stop this man. He could be the next U.S Champion, hell he could be a future World Heavyweight Champion.

***WHAT’S UP***​

This time it’s a mixed reaction as some of the fans aren’t pleased R-Truth’s complaining earlier, but it’s nearing towards cheers as he raps his way to the ring, but he doesn’t climb into the ring, cautiously looking at the two men in it.

R-Truth: San Antonio! What’s up??

What’s up, dawg.

***SOS***​

A solid pop comes from the crowd which welcomes the new United States Champion, Kofi Kingston as he bounds out onto the stage. R-Truth watches as he joins him at the bottom of the ring.

Jim Ross: Kofi Kingston has been on a role the last couple of months, defeating the current WWE Champion Randy Orton, teaming with Triple H and now he is the United States Championship, he’s had a great couple of months and looks to be on his way to the top.

JBL: I have to agree with you there, but he is only the United States Champion because of Teddy Long’s vendetta against R-Truth.

Match 3: Singles
United States Champion Kofi Kingston & R-Truth vs. Mike Knox & Shelton Benjamin w/Kelly Kelly
Before the match, Knox pulled out a steel chair and instructed Kelly to sit on it, and the commentators made sure to say that she would be to petrified to move, so that explains why she didn’t just walk away :side:. Anyway, this was a solid affair, the usual WWE tag team formula, R-Truth and Kingston had the fast start, hitting some fast paced offense on Benjamin and Knox, but it wasn’t until a botched leg drop that allowed Knox to get into the match.

Knox used his strength and power to bully Kofi Kingston around the ring, looking at Kelly every couple few minutes, almost showing off. Quick tags between Benjamin and Knox meant Kofi couldn’t get to his tag team partner, but Truth played cheerleader nonetheless, and when Knox had Kingston in a sleeper hold, the cheerleading paid off as Kingston made a comeback, getting some good offense in on Knox.

And eventually taking him out with a running, jumping hurricanrana to a huge pop, but both men were down. We then get R-Truth pounding on the steps with his foot, getting the crowd involved while Benjamin tried to quell the noise. Eventually both men got to their respective tag team partners ... but R-Truth didn’t tag in! Truth dropped off the apron just before the tag, receiving so much heat as he backs away, backing up the ramp, leaving his partner hanging.

Kingston holds onto his head, while asking why, but Truth simply shouts ‘it’s a conspiracy’. The United States Champion turns around ... into Shelton Benjamin ... into Paydirt ... cover, 1 ... 2 ... 3! Benjamin has pinned the United States Champion.


Winner: Mike Knox & Shelton Benjamin @ 07.26

The crowd boo immensely as R-Truth has deserted his tag team partner, but Shelton still celebrates his pin fall over the United States Champion. His partner, Mike Knox grabs Kelly by the arm and they climb into the ring and Knox lifts his arms in the air.

Jim Ross: R-Truth said he didn’t have a problem with Kofi Kingston ... what the hell is this?!

JBL: Come on ... can’t you see ... why would you be happy about teamin’ with the man who took your title ... this was probably planned all night by R-Truth.

Commercial Break​

Back from the commercial, and we’re backstage where Theodore Long is sitting on a couch, rifling through some papers but is interrupted by Chris Jericho walks in, he stands up.

Theodore Long: Haven’t you heard of knockin’, playa’??

Ignoring the question.

Chris Jericho: When I was drafted to SmackDown ... I was expecting to be treated with respect ... not just by these cretins you call fans ... but by the General Manager.

Not understanding, Long screws his face up.

Chris Jericho: When I was on Raw, every GM disrespected me and now you’re doing the same thing.

Theodore Long: What are you talkin’ about, Chris??

Jericho smirks a little.

Chris Jericho: It is a travesty that I am not in the World Heavyweight Championship match.

Long now realizes what Chris’ beef is.

Theodore Long: Listen playa’ ... you aren’t in that match because you were the one pinned on Sunday.

If looks could kill.

Chris Jericho: I don’t think you realize ... I am the Best in the World ... at what ... I ... do.

Huge boos.

Chris Jericho: I deserve another chance ... the fact that John Cena is in the main event makes me sick. But ... it all makes sense ... all night people have been saying that you are bias towards certain Superstars ... but ... that’s not true.

Long seems confused as do the fans.

Chris Jericho: You are simply against me ... it’s not that you like John Cena ... it’s that you don’t like me. You would rather anybody be in the main event than me.

Theodore Long: Listen, playa’ ... that’s not true ... I’m not biased to or against anybody ... so get out my office ... I’m done listenin’ to conspiracy theories and complaints.

Pop from the fans, as Jericho decides against arguing and walks out the door.

We now cut to the ring where the set of the Cutting Edge has been built.


***METALINGUS***​

The awesome music of The Rated R Superstar plays and is greeted by a massive pop as Edge walks onto the stage, wearing jeans, leather jackets and shades on.

Jim Ross: This past Sunday, that man made sure he will never have to deal with The Big Show and Vickie Guerrero, by defeating Show in a one on one match.

JBL: I’m actually glad that Edge won that match, because that means we don’t have to listen to Vickie Guerrero’s here on SmackDown.

Edge climbs into the ring, gathers his surroundings and grabs a microphone from one of the chairs.

Edge: Welcome ... to THE Cutting EDGE!

Huge pop.

Edge: The most controversial and most talked about WWE Talk Show in history ... and my guest is known as one of the most dangerous Superstars on SmackDown ... but before we get to him ... I think a little celebration is in order.

Another pretty big pop as Edge brings his shades down and latches them to his collar.

Edge: This Sunday ... something huge happened ... EVERYONE rejoiced as the mighty Big Show was toppled ... which meant two things ... one ... we never have to reinforce this ring for The Big Show.

Nice one, Edge.

Edge: And two ... the one I’m pretty pleased about ... no more ... EXCUSE ME.

Huge pop at this.

Edge: No more ... Vickie Guerrero!

Another huge pop as Edge grins.

Edge: We will never have to hear that nails on a blackboard chalkboard voice again and that ... ladies and gents ... deserves a celebration.

Pop.

Edge: But ... that celebration will have to wait ... because I need to deal with a problem I have.

The crowd don’t know how to respond.

Edge: The problem that I have ... is that last Sunday ... I had to watch my best friend ... Christian-

Big pop for the mention of Captain Charisma.

Edge: I had to watch him get lit ...

Edge seems to have trouble saying it.

Edge: Lit on fire.

Boos.

Edge: I watched as he ran around this ring ... and eventually collapsed in shock. And unfortunately ... Christian won’t be back for a month or two. And there is one man to blame for that ... my guest t’night ... The Big Red Monster ... Kane.

***MAN ON FIRE***​

Massive heat greets The Big Red Monster, and Kane eventually makes his way onto the stage, engulfed in red lighting. He sets his eyes on Edge before walking down the ramp, stepping into the ring and grabbing a microphone, standing opposite The Rated R Superstar.

Edge: Uh ... well I guess I should welcome you to the show.

Kane simply stares at Edge.

Edge: Y’know ... you and me ... we go back a long way.

Just a stare.

Edge: I mean ... we’ve crossed paths in this ring before. You’ve Choke Slammed me ... Tombstoned me. I’ve Speared you ... I’ve stole your girlfriend.

Pop for that but Kane doesn’t like that as he takes a step towards Edge.

Edge: Whoa ... hold on big guy. But you then broke our weddin’ up ... and then Tombstoned the Priest.

Some laughs from the crowd as they remember the Priest getting his head destroyed.

Edge: But ... I’ve never seen you ... as ... as dangerous as you are now. I mean ... even being in the ring with you right now ... people told me all day to cancel the show t’night ... but I said no because I want to ask you a few questions.

Kane continues to stare.

Edge: I’ve watched what you’ve done these last couple of months ... shaving CM Punk’s head.

Heat.

Edge: Goin’ on about demon’s and the Devil ... and then ... settin’ my best friend ... my best friend on fire.

A lot of heat directed at Kane’s actions.

Edge: What’s next Kane?? Murdering someone??

Edge pauses, looking into the eyes of Kane.

Kane: ...

Edge: Nothin’?? Can you speak or are you waitin’ for this ... this so called demon to instruct you??

Still nothing.

Edge: What’s his name?? The demon ... I mean ... Bobby??

Kane doesn’t like this one bit.

Edge: Well ... y’know what ... tell Bobby ... that what he ... you did to Christian at Judgment Day crossed a line. Y’see ... you’ve got my attention now ... Christian didn’t want me to get involved but I’ve got no choice now.

Finally Kane speaks.

Kane: If you know what’s good ... for you ... you’ll leave this ring ... right ... NOW!

Kane steps towards Edge but he stands his ground.

Kane: This ... thing ... inside me ... it didn’t tell me to set Christian on fire. But it did instruct me to Choke Slam him when he had the nerve to question me. He brought it on himself.

Edge mouths the words ‘oh really?’.

Kane: HE was the one who cost me my matches ... HE ... was the one who insulted me ... HE ... he was the one who challenged ME to a Inferno match.

Edge: And you couldn’t say no?? I know you like to make people’s life’s misery ... hell I’ve done it myself. John Cena and Matt Hardy ... the worst times of their careers came at MY hands. But I knew a limit ... I knew when to NOT cross a line ... you didn’t ... you set my best friend on fire for god sake.

Heat again at the thought of Christian being set on fire.

Edge: You say that there is a demon sendin’ you messages ... c’mon ... that’s just an excuse so you can attack people for no reason. But if it is true ... then I got a message for this demon ... I’m gonna’ beat it out of you ... and even if it isn’t true ... then who cares ... because I’ll still get some revenge for my best friend.

Pop, but Kane starts laughing.

Edge: Somethin’ funny??

Kane continues to laugh and says ‘yeah’ BEFORE GRABBING EDGE BY THE THROAT ... AND SLAMMING HIM INTO THE MAT WITH A CHOKE SLAM!

The boos are huge as Kane kneels beside Edge, who feels his back, and tells him that he’s gained his attention and that’s something he does not want.

Kane stands up, lifts his arms in the air and forcefully brings them down, setting off his pyro on the corner.


Jim Ross: It seems Kane has a new target in mind, and his name is Edge.

JBL: And for good reason, Edge just spent the last few minutes insulting and making fun of Kane. This is how Christian got the attention of Kane and now Edge has too. He’s only got himself to blame.

Kane starts to leave the ring, taking one last look at Edge before laughing once more as we fade to a commercial break.

Commercial Break​

***STRICKEN***

The music of Daniel Bryan and Kaval hits and is greeted with nice cheer from the crowd tonight, and with AJ by their side they walk down to the ring, focused on their match.

Jim Ross: Yesterday, Daniel Bryan and Kaval competed on Superstars, and were attacked by Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder, so they’ll be feeling the effects of that just now.

JBL: You gotta’ hand it to them, wantin’ to fight after being decimated yesterday by Ryder and Hawkins.

***IN THE MIDDLE OF IT NOW***​

After their actions on Superstars, Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder receive a solid amount of heat. The duo hop on the top of the stage and look down at their opponents.

Jim Ross: I’m surprised that AJ would want to be out here for this match, considering the actions of these two men on Superstars.

JBL: I don’t condone violence to women, not in the slightest ... but AJ did stick her nose where it didn’t belong.

Match 4: Tag Team Match
The Warriors w/AJ Lee vs. Curt Hawkins & Zack Ryder
Ryder and Kaval kick things off for their respective teams. They circle the ring before locking up in the middle of the ring but Ryder ducks behind, clasping his hands around Kaval’s stomach ... but Kaval dives to the ground, twisting his body and flipping Ryder over him. Ryder tries to get up but gets smashed in the face by a running jumping knee ... before being the victim of a roundhouse kick to the side of the head and then a cover, 1 ... 2 ... NO! Kaval stands up and tells Ryder to bring it, but Zack backs away and tags in Hawkins.

Hawkins sprints at Kaval who ducks a clothesline and connects with a drop-toe-hold before dragging Curt into the corner and tagging his partner in. Daniel climbs onto the top rope while Kaval holds Hawkins in place ... and connects with a diving elbow drop, 1 ... 2 ... NO! Bryan doesn’t let up, Irish-whipping Hawkins into the corner ... before running at him ... and connecting with A FORCEFUL RUNNING DROP KICK TO THE CHEST!! Hawkins falls to the ground and Daniel hooks the leg, 1 ... 2 ... ANOTHER KICK OUT!!!

Daniel pulls Hawkins to his feet and drags him into the corner and tags in Kaval. AJ applauds her boys from the outside as Bryan stands behind Hawkins, and Kaval jumps up and ... connects with A SPINNING BACK KICK ... WHILE BRYAN SWEEPS THE LEGS OF HAWKINS ... AND HAWKINS FALLS IN A HEAP ... cover, 1 ... 2 ... NO!

Kaval quickly pulls his opponent to his feet and Irish-whips him but doesn’t notice Hawkins getting the blind tag ... Kaval connects on Hawkins with a quick power slam but Ryder clobbers him from behind with a clothesline to the back of the head. Ryder keeps the pressure on, working on the back of Kaval, trading tags with Hawkins over and over, both of them working to keep Kaval away from Daniel.

Kaval manages to make a brief comeback but Hawkins stops that in its tracks with a chop block to the back of Kaval’s knee. Hawkins locks in an arm bar, trying to wear down Kaval even more, the referee asks him if he wants to quick but he says no ... before getting to his feet, Hawkins transitions into a side head lock while Kaval pushes him back into the ropes before sending him to the opposite. Hawkins responds by going for a clothesline but Kaval ducks and connects with a nice drop kick on the rebound!!!

Kaval then gets a hot tag to Daniel while Hawkins tags in Ryder! They meet in the centre of the ring, with Daniel unleashing with punches and kicks, backing him into the corner, Irish-whipping him into the corner ... and then going for a running clothesline but Ryder gets the elbow up. Zack explodes out the corner ... but Bryan catches him with a power slam! Bryan gets fired up but Hawkins returns and clotheslines the hell out of Daniel!!

But Kaval makes a swift return, hopping over Daniel and taking Hawkins out by clotheslining him over the top rope. But Ryder grabs him just then and throws him over!! Ryder walks over to Daniel who CATCHES HIM WITH A SMALL PACKAGE, 1 ... 2 ... NO!!! Ryder and Daniel sprint at each other but run into each other ... knocking heads and both falling to the ground.

Hawkins is on the outside and grabs a steel chair, and slides it into Ryder but the referee doesn’t notice as he’s tending to Daniel. Kaval has recovered and takes Hawkins down from behind on the outside, the referee focuses on the fight on the outside, telling them to get to their respective corners, while he does that, Ryder stands up and is about to level Daniel with the Steel Chair ... but AJ IS ON THE APRO AND GRABS THE STEEL CHAIR AS RYDER HOISTS IT IN THE AIR!!!

AJ drops it to the ground while Ryder turns to face her, asking what the hell she is doing ... AND SUDDENLY GETS A HUGE SLAP!!! The crowd cheer loudly for this as Daniel is back on his feet ... BRYAN GRABS RYDER BY THE HAND AND PULLS HIM AROUND ... AND LOCKS IN WHAT JBL CALLS ... THE LEBELL LOCK!! AND RYDER HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO TAP!!


Winner – The Warriors @ 6.60

AJ gets her revenge, costing Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder the match and winning it for her boys. Kaval joins Bryan and AJ in the ring and celebrate together as Hawkins helps Ryder up the ramp, telling them that this isn’t over.

We cut backstage, where Maria is talking with someone off camera. It eventually pans out and we see the challenger for the World Heavyweight Championship, John Cena, which gains a massive mixed reaction.


Maria: Oh yeah ... I’m SO sorry about you losin’ the title ... but I’m sure you’ll get it back t’night.

John Cena: Thanks ... y’know when I head out there-

Cena stops as he notices that Maria is looking behind him and we see the World Heavyweight Champion, Matt Hardy staring at the back of Cena’s head! The former champion tells Maria that he’ll talk to her later and turns around.

Matt Hardy: The champ ... is ... here.

Cena smirks.

John Cena: Not for long ... soon enough that title will be back with me.

Matt Hardy: I don’t think so John. Later tonight ... I’m gonna’ prove that I deserve this title ... the only reason you are in the match later is because Teddy Long has a vendetta against me. Think about it John, all the years I’ve been on SmackDown ... not one title shot ... so instead I take it ... and become the champion.

Boos.

John Cena: I don’t think so. In my view ... you are nothin’ but a paper champion.

Matt Hardy: That right??

John Cena: Yea-

BANG!!

Cena is clobbered with a huge forearm smash! The force propels him back into the wall, but he manages to recover and tackles Matt to the ground, the championship hits the floor and lies there as both men battle each other on the mat.

The crowd cheer Cena on, wanting him to beat Hardy up, but suddenly a couple of road agents and jobbers show up to separate the two of them! It takes a few seconds and extreme force to separate the two man who will compete for the World Title, but eventually they do.


Jim Ross: The main event just got a lot more personal.

JBL: Matt Hardy was just called a paper champion by John Cena! That’s blasphemy!

Commercial Break

Backstage again, and we’re with Layla who is talking with Gregory Helms in Theodore Long’s office.

Layla: Good luck next Thursday ... you’re gonna’ face Jamie Noble in the first round of the Cruiserweight Championship.

Gregory Helm: Thanks. As you probably know ... I was the longest reigning Cruiserweight Champion in SmackDown history.

Pop for that.

Layla: I do. And-

???: Where is he!

The camera pans out and we see The Brian Kendrick and Ezekiel Jackson standing in the door way. The two walk up to Layla.

The Brian Kendrick: Well ... c’mon toots ... tell me.

Layla rolls her eyes.

Layla: Who?

The Brian Kendrick: Teddy Long! Tommy Dreamer cheated to win, I want that win reversed!

Kendrick takes a step toward Layla but Helms steps in front of him.

The Brian Kendrick: Who do you think you are?? A Superhero?? Get out of my face.

Gregory Helms: Funny ... continue talkin’ and you’ll get my fist in your face.

Pop.

Layla: Listen ... guys ... calm down. Brian ... I can’t change the result but I’ll talk to Teddy Long.

The Brian Kendrick: That’s all I asked, babe.

Kendrick turns to leave.

Layla: Whoa ... where do you think you’re goin’?? I wasn’t finished ... next week ... your partner here will face off against the other member of the Lifeblood of Extreme ... Stevie Richards.

Nice pop.

Layla: And you ... you’ll go one on one ... with this man ... Gregory Helms.

Helms smirks, Jackson stands like a robot, Layla seems pleased with her matches but Kendrick doesn’t look to pleased and ends up walking off in a huff.

Back to ringside.


***AIN’T NO MAKE BELIEVE***​

Time for our original main event of the evening before the World Title match was made. John Morrison, The Shaman of Sexy strides out to a solid cheer, before walking down the ramp and waiting for his opponent.

Jim Ross: Morrison suffered a huge Zig-Zag last Sunday from the ring apron to the floor, I’m very interested to see how he’ll do in this match, one which I believe will be a classic ladies and gentleman, you don’t want to miss this.

***NO MORE WORDS***​

A massive pop greets the arrival of The Rainbow Haired Warrior, and he high steps out and sets of his pyro. Jeff then walks down the ramp, and interacts with the fans before climbing into the ring.

Match 5: Singles Match
Jeff Hardy vs. John Morrison
The opening of the contest starts out fast and furious as both men circle the ring, before sprinting forward, locking up ... but it’s Jeff who takes the advantage, ducking behind and pushing Morrison into the ropes ... looking for a roll up but Morrison holds onto the ropes. Jeff stands up quickly ... Morrison goes for a clothesline but Jeff ducks and goes one of his own ... only for Morrison to duck as well. John connects with a deep arm drag ... but then Jeff connects with one of his own ... and they both get to their feet but both go for a Drop Kick ... kicking each other’s feet!! It’s a stalemate in the opening exchange!

Finally, we get a clear indication of who is in control when they go to lock up again but Morrison kicks his opponent in the stomach ... forcing him back into the corner with right hands. Morrison continues to press, elbowing Jeff in the side of the head ... before Irish-whipping him into the opposite corner. Morrison sprints forward going for a running corner clothesline but Jeff bends down and flips Morrison over the rope ... he manages to land on the apron though. Jeff turns around to face Morrison but gets elbowed in the head ... he stumbles away as Morrison climbs the turnbuckle and goes for a Crossbody but Jeff dives out the way!!

The crowd are enjoying this fast paced opening as both men get to their feet, but it’s Jeff who takes the advantage now, kneeing his opponent in the stomach and clubbing him in the back. Hardy stomps a couple of times on the chest of his opponent ... Hardy picks his opponent up and Irish-whip him into the corner ... only for Morrison to hold on and stop himself rebounding. The Rainbow Haired Warrior tries to take Morrison over the rope with a clothesline ... but he tumbles over the top rope when Morrison pulls them down.

Luckily, Jeff manages to land on the apron, he climbs to his feet ... but Morrison takes advantage ... using the second rope as a step up ... AND HITTING AN ENZIGURI!!! And Jeff falls to the mat below ... Morrison taking the clear advantage in this match. Jeff manages to recover eventually ... using the barricade to get to his feet ... but he doesn’t notice Morrison sprinting at the ropes ... AND SUICIDE DIVING THROUGH THE TOP AND SECOND ROPE ... LANDING ON HARDY!! The crowd applaud as both men lie on the mat, but eventually Morrison gets to his feet and fist pumps the air as the commentators announce we need to go to a commercial.


Commercial Break​

And we return to see Jeff in control with Morrison in the corner, connecting with a series of knife edge chops. We then get a picture in picture of what happened during the commercial break ... as Morrison pulled Jeff into the ring ... but Jeff connected with a drop-toe-hold ... and then rebounded off the ropes and smashed into Morrison with a low drop kick to the face! Back to real time now ... and Jeff bends down, before hoisting Morrison onto the top rope ... in a seated position.

Jeff joins him on the top ... but Morrison ducks a right hand and swiftly transitions behind Hardy ... wrapping his arms in around his stomach ... and goes for a GERMAN SUPLEX FROM THE SECOND ROPE ... BUT HARDY MANAGES TO HOLD ONTO THE ROPES!! HARDY THEN LETS ONE HAND GO AND BACK ELBOWS MORRISON WHO ALMOST FALLS BACKWARDS BUT MANAGES TO BALANCE BY REACHING OUT TO THE ROPES WITH HIS HAND! Hardy turns around while Morrison holds on ... and kicks him away ... before standing up on the top ... and jumping onto Morrison’s shoulders ... HURRICANRANA!!!

Jeff quickly goes for the cover, 1 ... 2 ... NO!!! MORRISON KICKS OUT!! Jeff doesn’t waste time, picking Morrison up and whipping him into the corner again ... before sprinting forward but Morrison side steps him and rolls him up with a school boy, 1 ... 2 ... NO!! JEFF MANAGES TO ROLL OUT!! The two men get up at the same time, and Morrison connects with a few knife edge chops, forcing Hardy into the ropes and whipping him but he reverses ... only to hold onto Morrison and pull him back ... into a kick and then a SITDOWN GOURDBUSTER!! He goes for another cover, 1 ... 2 ... NO!!!

Morrison keeps his hopes alive, but Jeff continues to press, reinforcing his momentum over the next few minutes with a couple of suplexes, and body slams. Using his speed to keep Morrison off guard, and getting a couple of near falls but unfortunately, one of his high flying moves didn’t work out as Morrison ducked which gave him an avenue into the match.

John waits for Jeff to climb to his feet ... springboards off the second rope ... and connects with a flying chuck kick which seemingly knocks him out!! Cover from Morrison, 1 ... 2 ... KICK OUT!! John grabs him again, pulling him to his feet and irish-whipping him into the corner and following that up with a running knee to the gut!! Jeff stumbles out of the corner ... and Morrison runs forward and grabs him, picking him up for a body slam ... but then DROPPIING HIM ... NECK FIRST ONTO THE TOP ROPE!!!

Morrison quickly runs the ropes ... as Jeff tries to recover ... but he then runs at him ... jumps and does a tucked front flip ... smashing into Jeff back first ... TAKING HIM OUT!! He goes for another cover, 1 ... 2 ... NO!! Morrison pulls his opponent to his feet ... but Jeff breaks his arms away and kicks Morrison in the gut ... AND GOES FOR TWIST OF FATE ... NO ... MORRISON SPINS OUT ... AND PLANTS JEFF WITH MOONLIGHT DRIVE!!! Morrison crawls to the cover, 1 ... 2 ... NO!!!! KICK OUT!!!

Morrison looks at the ref who reassures him it was a two count. The crowd are applauding the match so far. Morrison grabs Jeff and picks him up, planting him with a body slam before dragging him to the corner ... and looking for Starship Pain ... but when he jumps up ... Jeff is back to his feet ... and pushes MORRISON OVER THE TOP ROPE!! He hits the mat pretty hard and Hardy leans against the ropes ... feeling the effects of the match so far. Jeff rolls out of the ring, on the side to the left of Morrison who is just getting to his feet ... BUT JEFF IS NOW USING THE BARRICADE ... RUNNING ALONG IT AND CONNECTING WITH A FLYING CLOTHESLINE!!!

The crowd pop huge, but Jeff isn’t done ... he climbs into the ring and waits for his opponent to climb up to his feet. Jeff feels the top rope ... waiting ... and THEN PROCEEDING TO CONNECT WITH A DIVING PLANCHA!!! TAKING MORRISON OUT AGAIN!! Jeff lies on the mat for a couple of seconds ... and then uses the barricade to get to his feet , and pulls Morrison to his feet and slides him into the ring, crawling in, looking for the win, 1 ... 2 ... NO!!

Jeff wonders what he has to do to defeat this man. With the fans cheering, he picks Morrison up to his feet and Irish-whips him, and wraps his arms around Morrison’s neck ... planting him with a spinning slam and turning it into a sleeper hold!!

The action slows to a halt now, as Jeff tries to end it with a sleeper hold, wrapping his legs around the stomach of Morrison ... but John forces himself back ... putting Jeff on his back and the referee starts counting, 1 ... 2 ... JEFF MANAGES TO ROLL OFF HIS BACK ... LETTING GO OF MORRISON.

The two men get up, and Morrison swings wildly at his opponent but Jeff ducks and ends up getting Morrison in a BACK SLIDE PIN!! 1 ... 2 ... NO!! The two Superstars meet each other again but this Morrison is the one who goes for the pin with an Inside Cradle!! 1 ... 2 ... AGAIN A KICK OUT!! And again, another pin attempt occurs as Jeff ducks another punch and then ROLLS MORRISON UP WITH A VICTORY ROLL!! 1 ... 2 ... NO!!!

The fans are enjoying this match so much but it grinds to halt as they both get up at the same time and run at each other ... ducking each other’s attempt at an attack ... and then BOTH going for a CROSS BODY ... AND THEY HIT EACH OTHER ... FALLING TO THE GROUND!! Both are out and the referee begins to count them down.

1 ... no movement from either man ... 2 ... still no movement ... 3 ... again, no movement, but the fans begin willing them both to get to their feet ... 4 ... the fans don’t want this match to end as evidenced by the noise they are making ... 5 ... a little bit of a stir from Hardy ... 6 ... same with Morrison ... 7 ... Jeff and Morrison both roll onto their stomachs and reach out to the ropes ... 8 ... they each climb to their knees, helped by the ropes ... 9 ... AND THEY BOTH GET UP JUST BEFORE THE TEN COUNT ... BOTH A LITTLE STAGGERED.

They stagger into the centre ... and meet each other before trading punches ... rights and lefts ... this goes on for a solid amount of time before Morrison knees Jeff in the stomach!!! And irish-whips him into the corner ... but JEFF RUNS UP THE TURNBUCKLE ... AND CONNECTS WITH WHISPER IN THE WIND!!

He goes for the cover, 1 ... 2 ... NO!! THIS MATCH CONTINUES!!

Slowly, Jeff crawls to the ropes and picks himself up, and staggers over to Morrison who reaches up and wraps him up with a Small Package!! 1 ... 2 ... NO!! Jeff rolls through and climbs to his feet, runs at Morrison but he ducks and quickly springboards off the second rope ... AND CONNECTS WITH A FLYING CHUCK KICK!! Morrison goes for the cover, 1 ... 2 ... JEFF KICKS OUT!! Morrison runs his hands through his hair, wiping the sweat from his forehead before getting to his feet and walking to the turnbuckle.

Morrison hits the mat pretty hard and gets to his feet ... KICK TO THE GUT FROM JEFF ... TWIST OF FATE ... IT CONNECTS!!! Slowly but surely, Jeff drapes an arm over the chest of Morrison, 1 ... 2 ... 3!!!


Winner: Jeff Hardy @ 17.94

An absolute fantastic match ends with the fans applauding both men’s efforts, but it’s Jeff Hardy who picks up the victory, but he isn’t able to celebrate, too tired, and simply lies on the mat, next to his opponent.

JBL: You did say it’d be a fantastic match, and while I don’t like to praise Jeff Hardy all that much, it was just that, a fantastic match.

Jim Ross: John Morrison put up the fight of his life, but it wasn’t enough, next week John Morrison will take part in the Cruiserweight Tournament so hopefully this hasn’t took so much out of him.

Jeff has managed to climb to his feet, using the ropes for support, before slowly climbing the turnbuckle and raising his arms in the air. He drops down, and Morrison is standing a couple of feet away from him, and eventually the two men shake hands, to a huge pop. The two Superstars lift each other’s hands in the air. Morrison leaves the ring and walks up the ramp ... leaving the ring to Jeff ... but SUDDENLY JEFF TURNS AROUND INTO AN ATTACKER ... CODEBREAKER ... IT’S CHRIS JERICHO!!

JERICHO STANDS ABOVE JEFF BEFORE STOMPING ON HIM OVER AND OVER AS THE FANS BOO ... BUT SUDDENLY MORRISON COMES BACK ... STOPPING THE ATTACK AS JERICHO MAKES A SWIFT EXIT ... SMIRKING AS HE BACKS UP THE RAMP!!


Jim Ross: What was the meaning on that?? What problem does Jericho have with Jeff??

JBL: I don’t know but he chose the best time to target him ... after a tough match like that ... genius.

Jim Ross: Well I don’t like it one bit, Jericho better have a good excuse for doing this. But anyway ladies and gentleman, after this commercial break, we’ll see Matt Hardy and John Cena go to toe for the World Heavyweight Championship.

Quick cut backstage where we see a split screen of John Cena and the World Champion, Matt Hardy walking down separate corridors, both looking extremely focused.

Commercial Break​

***MY TIME IS NOW***​

The roof of the arena nearly comes off with a massive mixed reaction, as the former World Heavyweight Champion, John Cena jogs out onto the stage, he stops at the top and extends his hands. Before saying ‘it’s time to go to work’ ... but then ...

Jim Ross: HEY! LOOK OUT!!!

THE MIXED REACTION HAS NOW TURNED TO HUGE BOOS ... WHICH ALERTS THE FORMER CHAMPION ... HE TURNS AROUND ... AND GETS SMASHED IN THE FACE BY THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP BELT!

CENA FALLS TO THE GROUND ... WITH MATT HARDY STANDING ABOVE HIM ... LOOKING AT THE TITLE HE JUST USED TO SMASH CENA IN THE FACE!


Jim Ross: THIS IS SICK! WE WERE MEANT TO HAVE A WORLD TITLE MATCH!

JBL: Matt is doin’ what he’s meant to do ... make sure he keeps that title for as long as possible.

Matt drops the title belt and picks Cena up, and RUNS HIM INTO THE TITAN TRON! HIS HEAD SMASHING OFF THE HD SET! The crowd shit on Matt but he doesn’t care right now, instead he drags Cena to his feet again and pulls him down the ramp.

Launching him into the side of the barricade! Cena winces with pain as Matt looks at him, saying ‘call me a paper champion now!’. The Dark One pulls Cena up again, pulls him towards the ring but stops and IRISH-WHIPS HIM INTO THE RING POST!


Jim Ross: OH!! HE’S BUSTED OPEN!! SOMEONE STOP THIS!!

JBL: NO!! THIS IS GREAT!!

Indeed, Cena is busted open, but Matt doesn’t let him recover, he grabs him and rolls him into the ring. Hardy follows in and instructs the referee to ring the bell. The referee protests but Matt persists, and the ref’ eventually calls for it.

Winner and Still World Heavyweight Champion – Matt Hardy @ 0.17

Matt soaks in the boos he is getting right now, as he climbs up to his feet, he instructs the referee to fetch his World Heavyweight Championship and he does so as Matt ascends the turnbuckle.

Jim Ross: That was absolutely disgusting. Matt Hardy is a sick human being, there will be consequences for this, believe me. Teddy Long will have seen this.

The referee has fetched the title and hands it to Hardy, who gazes into the titles big gold plate, before walking over to Cena and kneeling down. He grabs Cena by the face, and holds the belt in front of the bloodied Cena ... and tells him he will never hold this title again!

Matt stands up ... with the fans booing ... he raises the title in the air ... foot on Cena’s chest ... as ... we ...

... fade ...
