Right, I have to get back into this.
ECW, Mr. Kennedy over Matt Hardy is good, but I hope Kennedy doesn't win the Money in the Bank again. Good to see Carlito's Cabana return for next week, should be good. Very good segment with Jack Swagger, and quite frankly, I hope he defeats Bryan Danielson at WrestleMania, as I don't feel this fairytale story for Danielson is too predictable. However, I'd like to see Danielson get his rematch at Backlash and defeat Swagger for the Championship then. Happy that Zack Ryder defeated Jimmy Wang Yang, Ryder is by far the more credible Champion. I'm intrigued by the aftermath, I'm hoping Yang drops the redneck gimmick and goes to an Akio-esque gimmick once more. Wow, Jericho attacking Mysterio on ECW? So glad you're pushing Ezekiel Jackson, I hope he has an ECW Championship reign in the future. Pleased to see him and Swagger win in the Main Event tonight. The ending was great with Danielson getting the better of Swagger.
Great ECW, as usual, you haven't missed a beat.

- Let's just get to Smackdown already, I want to see if Smackdown is any better than ECW, and the build-up towards Mania is getting more and more awesome by the second, that is why I am hoping Mania 26 is a great Mania and that it overshadows all past Manias by having this one be the best Mania yet
- How many more days until Mania in this diary???
- Because I really wanna read Mania, and see the fallout

- Kennedy getting into Money in the Bank is good. Wonder what Matt will do in the future. - A good promo from Swagger, basically propelling onward with the build to the match at Mania. - So glad to see Ryder retain the TV Title, Yang doesn't really need it as much as he does. - Mysterio vs Kaval must happen some other time now that you have teased it. Jericho attack was good though to build up the match. - Jackson and Swagger winning was a good call - best Dreamer got pinned. Jackson not caring about Swagger getting owned is great.
A good ECW show.

March 19th, 2010 Staples Center in Los Angeles, California Attendance: 19,827
Smackdown opens with a video package, showing Randy Orton and Shelton Benjamin defeating Jeff Hardy and Tyler Black last week. It shows the aftermath, when Orton nailed Jeff with an RKO on the stage and stared at him sadistically.Jim Ross and Byron Saxton welcome everyone to the show following the opening pyrotechnics. They then promote the broadcast, focusing on our main event which will feature Jeff Hardy taking on Shelton Benjamin. Also, The Undertaker will step into the ring to face Sheamus in a first-time ever match! Plus, we will hear from CM Punk, as well as see the final Money in the Bank qualifying match.World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton opens the show by coming down to the ring in street clothes. He gets in the ring and retrieves a microphone. He begins to talk about last week. He says that he failed at one thing he really wanted to do in that tag team match. He wanted to pin Jeff Hardy before WrestleMania. He wants to pin his shoulders to the mat and beat and embarrass Jeff in every possible way. Ever since he had to sit down and rehab the injury that Jeff caused him, all he can think about it destroying Jeff’s career. Beating him in a World Title match at WrestleMania will hurt Jeff in more ways than one. He will physically, mentally and emotionally damage him. He wants Jeff Hardy to feel the lowest he possibly can feel. Lower than all of those times he fell short of the World Title in 2008, lower than when he was pushed down a flight of stairs before a WWE Title and lower than when his house burned down. The announcers say that bringing up Jeff’s house burning down, which killed his dog, is taking it too far. Without theme music or anything, Jeff Hardy rushes down towards the ring. Orton notices this just in time to quickly get out of dodge, but Hardy follows him right to the outside. Orton thought he got away but when he turned towards the ring, Hardy leveled him with a clothesline. He then got down and started hitting him with stiff right hands. Multiple officials came down and it took almost all of them to pull Jeff away. Orton got up looking furious but Jeff just looked intense as we cut to commercial. Commercial Break [/color] We return to Smackdown and are greeted with the announcement that Ted Dibiase and Antonio Inoki will be inducted into the 2010 Hall of Fame class. They will be inducted by Ted Dibiase Jr. and Stan Hansen, respectively.Money in the Bank Qualifying Match United States Champion Tyler Black vs. Television Champion Zack Ryder w/ Courtney[/color] Ryder was coming off of a pretty big win on ECW, retaining his belt over Jimmy Wang Yang, while Black took the pinfall loss last week in the tag team main event. It was obvious that Ryder felt good as he took the early upper hand here. Black managed to make a comeback though and was in firm control, until he got hit with the Rough Ryder from out of nowhere. Ryder only got a near fall for that though. He lifted Black and set up for the Zack Attack, but Black spun out of it and nailed God’s Last Gift to qualify. Winner: United States Champion Tyler Black [8:16] ***[/color] The announcers now take us to the announcement stating that Ted Dibiase and Antonio Inoki are the next two inductees into the 2010 Hall of Fame class. They will be inducted by Ted Dibiase Jr. and Stan Hansen, respectively.Commercial Break[/color] We return to see Chris Jericho coming down the aisle with a very smug look on his face. He gets in the ring and gets on a microphone. He says that calling out Batista and attacking Rey Mysterio this past week were his ways of showing everyone that he is very much invested in winning the Brand Warfare match. People were saying that he doesn’t care enough about Smackdown to correctly represent them, but they need to realize that it doesn’t matter. Yes, he could care less about representing a brand. But no, that will not affect him. Because he does things for the only person he truly cares about and that is himself. And he’s been doing things for himself throughout his whole career and he’s been pretty damn successful, just like he will be at WrestleMania. He now calls out the Raw representative that he will face tonight. Non-Title Match Chris Jericho vs. Intercontinental Champion Elijah Burke[/color] Elijah Burke certainly proved that this was no regular “tune up” match tonight. He gave Jericho a run for his money in a very competitive back and forth contest. Burke nearly picked up the win after nailing the Elijah Experience but Jericho kicked out right before three. The same thing happened when Burke hit the Outer Limits Elbow Drop. He went for the kill as he tried the Elijah Express, but Jericho moved out of the way and Burke’s knees connected with the turnbuckle. He turned right into a Codebreaker which Jericho followed up with the Walls of Jericho and Burke had no choice but to tap out. Winner: Chris Jericho [10:29] ***¼[/color] We now go backstage, where Josh Matthews was standing by with Sheamus. He asks Sheamus about his feelings heading into tonight’s huge encounter with The Undertaker. Sheamus says that he is greatly looking forward to it. He isn’t scared of The Undertaker and never will be. He’s going to prove that The Undertaker is a mere mortal tonight, and he only wishes that it was him facing Undertaker at WrestleMania, because ending his streak is something Sheamus would love to add to his resume.Commercial Break[/color] CM Punk and Drew Gallows make their way to the ring when Smackdown returns. Gallows has a black bag with him. They enter the ring and Punk says that last week, the WWE Universe got something they’ve wanted for a long time. They got to see the legendary Shawn Michaels on their television screens again. But what they got from Michaels was the same thing they always did. Lies. Shawn wants everyone to believe that he is not only sorry for what he’s done in the past, but also that he’s a changed man. These are both lies, because the only true way that someone can recover from a disgusting past like that is to allow CM Punk to save them. Drew Gallows is living proof of that and Punk is here tonight to introduce another lost soul that found him as their savior. He says that a few years back, there was a tag team in the WWE known as MNM. One member was John Morrison, while the other was Joey Mercury. Morrison, as we all know, is still part of the WWE, but Mercury is not. After leaving the WWE, he went into a bit of a depression and got caught up in drugs. Recently, Punk received a phone call from Joey and he asked to be saved. Punk, being the fair man that he is, gave him his chance and he is proud to announce that Joey has been successfully saved. He says that Joey is done with the MNM stage of his career, so he’d like to be known by his real name, Joey Matthews. Joey comes down to the ring and gets inside. Gallows goes outside and brings a steel chair into the ring. He opens it and Matthews sits down. Punk pulls out some clippers from the black bag and begins to shave Joey Matthews’ long hair. Punk says that shaving your head is a sign of your life being cleansed, and it’s the same thing he did with Drew Gallows. It doesn’t take long for Punk to shave the majority off, and then he speaks again. He says that Drew and Joey both know how great life is now, and he tells Shawn Michaels that he’ll be more than happy to do the same for him. The three members of the Straight Edge Society now leave as we cut to commercial. Commercial Break[/color] Paul London and Brian Kendrick cut a promo in the back about being WWE Tag Team Champions. They say that they'll fight harder than ever to retain the belts at WrestleMania because the belts mean too much to them. They are cut off by the Dudebusters who say that it's time for a new team to take over the WWE's tag team division. London & Kendrick and The New Hart Foundation are old news and the future is The Dudebusters. London and Kendrick tell them to prove it next week on Smackdown. The Dudebusters agree to the match and promise that it will be a preview of their victory at WrestleMania.Singles Match Sheamus vs. The Undertaker[/color] Sheamus impressed a lot of people with his performance in this battle. He kept Undertaker grounded for the most part and really worked him over. He was in control for a lot of the match, but The Undertaker got in the driver’s seat after hitting a big flying clothesline. It was now time for his signature moves like Old School, a big boot and even a chokeslam. Sheamus managed to kick out of that though and Undertaker called for the finish. He went for the Tombstone, but Sheamus reversed it and dropped him with a shoulder breaker. Sheamus went to pin, but ‘Taker managed to lock in Hells’ Gates! Sheamus didn’t tap out though as he reached the ropes. The Undertaker was still hurt and was slow to get up, and when he finally did, Sheamus went for the Brogue Kick. Undertaker dodged it and caught him with the Tombstone for the win. Winner: The Undertaker [10:08] ***¼[/color] After the match, Sheamus rolled out of the ring and The Undertaker did his signature pose from his knee. The lights in the arena don’t go out as they usually would and instead, John Cena’s theme hit. He came out to the stage with a microphone. He admits that The Undertaker’s mind game trick from this past Monday’s Raw was pretty good. It crept him out a bit, but it’s going to take more than that to really get into his head and throw him off of his game heading into WrestleMania. He says that while ‘Taker is undefeated at WrestleMania, this is the biggest match of his ‘Mania career. He’s never faced anyone who was unfazed by his aura and he’s never faced someone who is as confident as Cena is heading into WrestleMania. He’s made a career out of defying the odds and doing what people said he couldn’t. He ends the promo by telling The Undertaker to be prepared for the fight of his life in nine days, because John is going to be at his absolute best. Commercial Break[/color] We return to see Gail Kim and April Lee in the back and Lee seems upset. She says that she doesn’t like that she’ll be in the ring against Kim and Mickie James tonight. She wants to be the one teaming with Kim. Kim calms her down and says that this will help her grow even more and it’ll help Kim and James prepare for WrestleMania. Lee doesn’t look satisfied, but agrees regardless.
Ashley Valance is standing by backstage with Shelton Benjamin. She asks him about his feelings going into tonight’s main event; with a man he has a long history with in Jeff Hardy. Shelton says that he’s prepared for tonight’s match because he enjoys going against Jeff Hardy. He enjoys proving to the whole world, every single time, that he is the superior superstar. He’s going to do the very same thing to MVP at WrestleMania, but he won’t just be proving that he is better. He’s also going to hurt MVP for all of the trash talk he’s heard from him over the past year.Divas Tag Team Match April Lee & Kelly Kelly vs. Gail Kim & Mickie James[/color] Divas Champion Maryse and Women’s Champion Serena Mancini were on commentary during this match. They were impressed, as everyone was, with April Lee. She showed some great fire and really took it to James and Kim. She seemed more focused on Kim, but her mistake was that she didn’t tag out. She tried to do too much and it cost her as she fell victim to the Mick Kick. Winners: Gail Kim & Mickie James [5:46] **[/color] Kim and James celebrated their win, but then Kim decided to check on Lee. Maryse pulled James out of the ring and hit her with the French TKO. Mancini dropped her with the Mancini Code just as Kim turned to see all of this. They left up the ramp as Kim attempted to stop them.Commercial Break
Singles Match Jeff Hardy vs. Shelton Benjamin[/color] As usual between these two stars, they put on a very good show. The action went back and forth throughout and they were given a good amount of time. Jeff hit the Hardyac Arrest dropkick to put himself in the driver’s seat. He then nailed the Twist of Fate and climbed to the top. Shelton moved out of the way of the Swanton Bomb, and when they got up, Shelton connected with Paydirt. He covered but Jeff grabbed the bottom rope. Shelton was furious at this and when he went to pick Jeff up, he got rolled into a small package to end it. Winner: Jeff Hardy [11:06] ***¼[/color] Shelton Benjamin was furious as Jeff rolled out of the ring celebrating. He was halfway up the ramp, when Randy Orton appeared. He slowly crept up behind Jeff, and when Jeff turned towards the entrance, Orton went for the RKO. Jeff managed to push him off and Orton hit the steel ramp. He got up quickly, but was leveled with some right hands from Jeff. Jeff backed him all the way up the ramp and went for the Twist of Fate, but Orton broke free and escaped to the back. Jeff picked up the World Title, which Orton left on the ramp, and he hoisted it high to the crowd’s enjoyment.© WWE 2010 [/font][/center]

-Randy Orton's promo was good, disturbing, and all those things. So I'm very happy to see Hardy come down and get some retribution. -Sucks to not see Ryder not in MITB but hell, Black in it is just as good. -Jericho over Burke was another good preview as was his promo. -Solid promo by Punk to hype what I think will be Match of the Century, HBK/Punk. -Sheamus losing to Undertaker in my opinion gains Sheamus overness considering he put up a good fight. Good promo by Cena. Lots of promos tonight, you know me the typical Cena fan. I stand here, the only one on the board that wants Cena to win but I know Cena's going to give Taker a run for his money. -Kim and James going over was another good hype for our tag match for the divas at WM26. Good call. -Hardy finally beating Benjamin was good to see and good momentum for Hardy. Hardy holding the WHC high to end SD was classic. -Great show, Kev; literally dying to see WrestleMania.

SmackDown, love the opening segment, really looking forward to the encounter between Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy at WrestleMania, and hoping that Jeff Hardy takes the World Championship. I am glad that Tyler Black qualified for the Money in the Bank match, although Zack Ryder would have been good, but Black is better. A good victory for Jericho here going into Brand Supremacy at WrestleMania. Interesting segment with CM Punk there. I'd love to see The Dudebusters take the WWE Tag Team Championships. Good victory for The Undertaker going into WrestleMania, and a good appearence by John Cena, but I do hope Undertaker wins. Meh, divas, haha. Very pleased that Jeff Hardy won here as he needs the victory most. With Jeff standing tall, one has to wonder if he will come out on top at WrestleMania.
I can't wait for the big event.

- Good opening promo from Orton, really sets up their WrestleMania match as being more than just for the title. - Good to see Black in the Money in the Bank match. The match is absolutely packed with talent so I've got no idea who you'll have walk away the winner. - Great win for Jericho and you're really building up his momentum ahead of the Brand Warfare match. Personally I'd love to see Jericho walk away the winner, although I have a feeling you'll give it to Mysterio. - Cool to see Matthews joining up with the Straight Edge Society, the Punk/ Michaels feud is being built well. - Undertaker/ Sheamus seems like it should have been the main event, even with the Cena segment afterwards. Good win for Taker though. - Decent Diva's tag match and a good aftermath. I have a feeling that Lee may turn on Gail Kim sometime soon, although I doubt it will be at Mania. - Solid main event but a very poor finish. I just didn't see the need in the small package when you should be building Jeff up as somebody who can finish a match clean, especially this close to WrestleMania. - Good solid show although it didn't really have that much going on, which is often the problem when building up to Mania.

Great opening segment to kick SmackDown off between Orton and Jeff. Solid opener, and although I would have loved to see Ryder qualify for the Money in the Bank match, Black was the right guy to put over in the match. I'm liking how you're having Jericho face RAW Superstar's ahead of his Brand Warfare match at WrestleMania. That's a smart move. I really don't like the name "Drew Gallows". I much prefer "Luke Gallows", to be honest. Matthews is a fine addition to the Straight Edge Society. Punk/Michaels should be good. Sheamus/Undertaker sounds like a total badass match, and something I would love to see main event a pay-per-view in the future. Fine Diva's tag match. Solid main event, and solid aftermath.

Good job on Smackdown, really good job on the Road to WrestleMania 26 man really loving it right now
- My man Orton, you see that his promo, Orton really knows how to play mind games and bringing up Jeff's past Orton is in Jeff's head, Jeff has beaten Orton but Orton has beaten Jeff so many times that I can't even keep count, so Orton overall is just better than Jeff Hardy is.
WrestleMania 26 will prove no different as Orton will retain the World Heavyweight Championship against Jeff Hardy
- Tyler Black the right man to qualify for MITB in my opinion, because Ryder he has the ECW TV Title, so Ryder can defend his title at Mania if you choose him to that is, and Black since he's already the US Champion, imagine him winning MITB, he is a strong favorite in my opinion.
- CM Punk & Gallows bringing in Joey Mercury aka Joey Matthews into SES is a damn good move in my opinion if you ask me, maybe SES can have a fourth member in their stable, and they can be a real supergroup like how Evolution was back in the day or like how DX or the Nation were.
- CM Punk & Shawn Michaels I know will steal the show at WrestleMania 26, how about you guys, what do you think of the match?
- Sheamus/Undertaker should have been the main event of the show seeing as how this is a First Time Ever Match, a dream match-up in my opinion, and it could easily main-event any PPV, I like that Sheamus isn't afraid but if Undertaker played his mind games, you bet Sheamus would be afraid
- Cena saying how he is not like all the others that Taker has faced at Mania, and that in 9 days that Cena would give Taker the fight of his life, I love that promo
- Jeff beating Shelton was a good move

WWE SmacDown: Friday 19th March 2010...Good opening promo from the World Heavyweight Champion, Randy Orton basically hyping up his feud with Jeff Hardy and I am anticipating this climax upcoming at WrestleMania XXVI but I am expecting to see Jeff with the victory. Nice to see Zack Ryder with the guest appearance, but best decision for the WWE United States Champion, Tyler Black to having picked up the victory. Chris Jericho's promo was alright, again just promoting things with Rey Mysterio but here it's like, where does Batista fit in? Predictable win for Chris Jericho, and an enjoyable win against Elijah Burke, who has been going pretty good lately. CM Punk and Drew Gallows' promo was nice, liked Joey Mercury's initiation to get under the skin of John Morrison. What's next? Stealing Melina? Haha. The Undertaker and Sheamus is definitely a match that could happen in a future WrestleMania, great win for 'Taker in the first hour main event. John Cena's involvement was a little unnecessary, but it did do the job. Gail Kim and Mickie James beating April Lee and Kelly Kelly; is alright. These divas tag team matches are getting a little lame for me now. Lastly, good main event win for Jeff Hardy, clean victory for Jeff weakened Shelton though, as MVP costing him would have gone better. A decent show, accomplished what it needed to.

-Great way to open up the show with Orton trying to get in Hardy's head. -Black over Ryder to qualify for MITB is a good call. I noticed that everyone in that match has never been world champion, so the outcome should be great. -Jericho talking about the Brand Warfare match is good. Him over Burke is a nice call. -Punk and Gallows bringing in Mercury is great. Wonder whats next for SES now. -Taker over Sheamus is a great first hour main event. Cena coming out is good as well. -Kim and James over Lee and Kelly is good for momentum into the tag match. Post match actions were nice as well. -Hardy over Benjamin is good, but not sure if thats how it should have ended. Hardy standing tall to end the show is great though. Overall, great SmackDown.

Good opening segment with Orton and Hardy. Im assuming Hardy is going over at Mania, but i'd love to see Orton win. Nice opener with Black and Ryder, glad Black picked up the win. Jericho and Burke sounded like a really good one. Jericho picking up the win is good. Sheamus and Taker tonight should be cool. Awesome Punk segment. Loved it. Cant wait for Punk/Michaels. Taker vs. Sheamus was good, glad Taker got the win, and as I said before, I hope he wins at WrestleMania (obviously). Hardy and Shelton sounded like a good Main Event, was expecting Hardy to get the win. Can't wait for Mania.

It's simply astonishing that this diary has lasted so long, I haven't been following it but I will do my best to give a reply. Jeff Hardy vs. Benjamin & Undertaker vs. Sheamus should be classics. Enjoyed the opening segment, really put over how much Orton hates Jeff Hardy. Jeff coming out would have been a great moment. These two facing off at Wrestlemania should be outstanding. I love the US & TV Champions facing off, I'm a big fan of both men but Black going over is the right move. Him in MITB could provide some amazing spots.
I love Jericho saying he doesn't care enough about SD to represent them and that he's only in it for himself. I like Jericho beating Burke, I imagine a match between those two would be good. Sheamus not being scared of The Undertaker is awesome, a match and or feud between those two has been something I've wanted for a while. I like Joey Mercury coming back. Him as Matthews and part of the SES should be great. Taker winning is the right move. I hope you have Cena beat him at WM. Jeff beating Benjamin is fine, I loved the little encounter with Orton afterwards.
Good show overall, WM is looking amazing.

March 22nd, 2010 HP Pavilion in San Jose, California Attendance: 17,496
This week’s opening video package shows the events that occurred between Edge and Christian last week, where Edge brought back Rhyno to face Christian. In a blast from the past, Christian pulled out the win and gained some big momentum heading into the brother vs. brother clash at WrestleMania.The crowd rises to their feet as they see the opening pyrotechnics, signaling the start of our program. Jerry “The King” Lawler and Michael Cole greet us and begin to promote the show. They announce that our main event will feature Batista taking on Chris Jericho. Also, Edge has promised to present us with “The Cutting Edge”! In addition to all of that, we will see MVP take on Evan Bourne and an eight man tag team match between four of the teams involved in Tag Team Turmoil!Surprisingly, Raw opens with a gong as The Undertaker makes his way to the ring. He slowly gets into the ring and begins to speak. He starts with a bang by calling out John Cena. Cena obliges and gets right into the ring, and goes face to face with The Undertaker. ‘Taker says that Cena made a lot of sense with what he said on Smackdown. He truly has never faced someone who is as prepared, motivated and on his game as John Cena currently is. And Cena also seems to be unfazed by his mind games, which is also different. But with Cena being unfazed, it means that ‘Taker will have to be even more ready and prepared heading into WrestleMania than he ever has, which means very bad things for Cena. Cena says that’s fine with him, because he wouldn’t want it any other way. He doesn’t want anything to taint his historic victory at WrestleMania. He promises that we will witness the biggest match in WrestleMania history this Sunday, and he feels like he owes Undertaker for that Chokeslam he received a few weeks back. Cena strikes ‘Taker with some big right hands, sending the big man back towards the ropes. ‘Taker blocked one and delivered some big soup bones back to Cena. He grabbed him for the Chokeslam, but Cena broke free and nailed the FU! Cena stood over ‘Taker’s fallen body and the announcers say that at WrestleMania, that very move could end The Undertaker’s undefeated streak. Commercial Break [/color] We return from commercial to see Batista in John “Bradshaw” Layfield’s office. Batista wants to know why he was called in there. JBL says that he wanted to inform Batista that he will be traveling to ECW tomorrow night to face his best friend, Rey Mysterio in a tune up match for WrestleMania. Batista says that’s fine with him, just as long as he gets his hands on Chris Jericho tonight.
The announcers remind everyone at home that next week, right here on Raw, we will witness the 2010 WWE Draft! It promises to be a huge night with some big changes.Non-Title Fatal Four Way Match Drew McIntyre vs. Intercontinental Champion Elijah Burke vs. Kaval vs. Ted Dibiase Jr.[/color] This served as a great preview to this Sunday’s Money in the Bank match as Raw’s four representatives in that match were showcased here. Burke was on the wrong end of a three on one beating at the start, since he is the only face in the match and is holding a belt that the other three would like. Surprisingly, it was Kaval who changed things around, when he attacked both McIntyre and Dibiase Jr. The end would come when Burke nailed McIntyre with the Elijah Express, only to have Dibiase come from behind and hit him with Dream Street. Kaval was hurt on the outside after missing a suicide dive, which allowed Ted to pin and get the win. Winner: Ted Dibiase Jr. [9:19] ***½[/color] An advertisement is now shown, telling us about tomorrow night’s episode of ECW. It hypes the special edition of Carlito’s Cabana with all ten Money in the Bank competitors.Commercial Break[/color] Another advertisement is shown, but this one announces the final two members of the 2010 Hall of Fame class. It is none other than the team with the longest Tag Team Title reign in WWE history, Ax and Smash of Demolition! They will be inducted by Mr. Fuji!Divas’ Match Mickie James w/ Gail Kim vs. Tiffany[/color] Unlike most of the recent matches between the Divas, this wasn’t about dislike or hatred. It was a friendly match based on competition. Tiffany tried her best and has really looked good in-ring wise since her return, but James was too skilled. She put her away with the Mick Kick. Winner: Mickie James [4:41] **[/color] Women’s Champion Serena Mancini snuck her way through the crowd and into the ring. She clocked Gail Kim in the back of the head with the Women’s Title and escaped out of the ring before James could get her.Commercial Break[/color] More surprise tonight as we return to the theme of the “Gold Standard” Shelton Benjamin. The former World Heavyweight Champion made his way to the ring and stepped inside. He grabbed a microphone and said that if The Undertaker can make special appearances on Raw, then so could he. But he’s not here to start any trouble or to wreck tonight’s show. He’s simply here to sit back, do some commentary and enjoy MVP’s upcoming match with Evan Bourne. Oh, and he’s here to announce that with the Cutting Edge tonight and Carlito’s Cabana tomorrow, this Friday’s Smackdown will also have a talk show because Shelton will be hosting the VIP Lounge! Singles Match Evan Bourne vs. MVP[/color] Despite being focused on Benjamin throughout the match, MVP still more than held his own against the high flyer. They put on a very good showing and went back and forth throughout. Bourne nailed his double knee drop for a near fall and MVP got a near fall with the Player’s Boot. He went for the Playmaker but Bourne reversed it and hit a jawbreaker. He climbed up and went for the Shooting Star Press, but MVP moved out of the way. He then connected with the Drive-By for the win. Winner: MVP [10:03] ***[/color] Once the bell rang, MVP slid out of the ring and went right after Benjamin. He got the jump on him as Shelton was seated, and the crowd went nuts for the brawl. They were broken up by officials, but the war between these two clearly needs to be settled. Shelton was screaming that he’ll see him on Friday as he was pulled away.Commercial Break[/color] Ashley Valance is standing by with the WWE Champion, Edge. She asks him what’s in store for tonight’s special edition of “The Cutting Edge”. Edge smiles and says that it’s something big. While last week’s plan involving Rhyno backfired, tonight’s promises to go well. He guarantees that there is no way Christian can ruin this, just like there’s no way Christian will walk out of Phoenix with the WWE Title this Sunday.Eight Man Tag Team Match World Tag Team Champions The British Alliance & Legacy w/ Katie Lea Burchill & Layla London vs. WWE Tag Team Champions Brian Kendrick & Paul London & The New Hart Foundation w/ Natalya Neidhart[/color] As one would expect, this was a cluttered match, and considering that it didn’t get much time, it was only decent. A nice spot came when London, Kendrick and Wilson all hit a moonsault at the same time onto Burchill, Regal & Rhodes. Katie Lea tried to interfere, but Natalya met her with a clothesline. She then scared off Layla as well. It didn’t matter though as the heels still won after Rhodes dropped Wilson with the Cross Rhodes. Winners: World Tag Team Champions The British Alliance & Legacy [7:46] **½[/color] After the match, instead of the four winners celebrating, Rhodes and Hennig dropped the World Tag Team Champions with their finishers. Legacy looks very strong heading into WrestleMania. Could they be the first Unified Tag Team Champions?
John “Bradshaw” Layfield is shown again in his office. This time though, he’s talking to the camera. He announces that he’s just gotten off of the phone with Stephanie McMahon and a huge main event has been signed for this Friday’s Smackdown. On one side, Christian will be teaming with Jeff Hardy and on the other side, will be the former World Tag Team Champions, Rated RKO!Commercial Break
Singles Match Batista vs. Chris Jericho[/color] Considering the past between these two, their chemistry is good, which made for solid wrestling. Jericho was trying everything possible to pick up a win. It started with a few roll up variations, but eventually led to desperation attempts, like trying to get Batista counted out. None of it went the way he wanted it to, and in the end Jericho was taken out by the Batista Bomb. Winner: Batista [9:41] **¾[/color] The announcers put over how Batista has just successfully defended his home turf and he’ll try to pick up another big win tomorrow night on ECW.Commercial Break[/color] The cameras return to hear the theme of the number one contender for the WWE Title, Christian. He comes out smiling and he gets into the ring. Surprisingly, the ring is set up for “The Peep Show” and not “The Cutting Edge” like we all expected. Before Christian can even speak Edge’s theme hits and the WWE Champion storms into the ring. He starts yelling and complaining that tonight was supposed to be his show. Christian tells him to calm down and says that it shouldn’t matter to Edge which show is on tonight. Because whether it’s the Peep Show or the Cutting Edge, Christian will still steal the show. Edge is furious and says that Christian ruined his plan. Christian tells him to sit down and talk about his feelings on “The Peep Show”. Every time he mentions the name of his show, Edge freaks out even more. He begins to tear down the set and break the props. Christian is calm throughout this and tells Edge that he shouldn’t lose his cool so easily. Edge turns to him and charges at him for a Spear, but Christian moves. Edge collides with the chair Christian was sitting on and is slow to get up. When he does, Christian planted him with the Unprettier. He picked up the WWE Title and looked at it with a smile as Raw faded to a close. © WWE 2010[/center][/font]

Great opening with John Cena & The Undertaker. Their match should be absolutely amazing and it's something I see happening in the future. Cena laying out Taker is great. Batista vs. Mysterio on ECW should be good. Ted Jr. winning the MITB preview is fine by me. Mickie James getting a win over Tiffany is okay, glad it was short. I like MVP over Bourne and then brawling with Benjamin. LOVE Cody Rhodes picking up the win for his team. I hope they win at WM. Batista over Jericho is fine by me, I hope Y2J screws him out of his match with Rey. I love Christian hijacking the ending segment and coming out on top, hope he gets the WWE Championship at WM. Good show mate.
Wrestlemania Predictions:
The Undertaker d. John Cena
Jeff Hardy d. Randy Orton
Christian d. Edge
CM Punk d. Shawn Michaels
Jack Swagger d. Bryan Danielson
Chris Jericho d. Rey Mysterio & Batista
Shelton Benjamin d. MVP
Rhodes & Hennig win Tag Team Turmoil
Sheamus wins MITB
James & Kim d. Serena & Maryse

- A great opening promo with Cena and Taker. Their match should be an unforgettable classic. - Good to see Ted get the momentum heading into MITB. - James winning is good as she is undoubtedly the better competitor. - MVP needed the win here for momentum. The VIP lounge on SD! should be great. - BA/Legacy picking up the win is fine. The turmoil match seems very unpredictable. - Christian/Jeff vs. Rated RKO is a fantastic match to hold before Mania. - Batista picking up the win here is fine. It should be interesting to see what goes down on ECW. - The Cutting Edge The Peep Show seemed great from what I read. Christian standing tall is also a good way to close the show. - Great Raw. Really pumped for Mania. I will say one thing while I'm here. I'm really not too keen on having the draft the day after Mania. That Raw should really focus on the fallout from Wrestlemania.
WM26 Predictions (Winners in bold)
The Undertaker vs. John Cena Randy Orton vs. Jeff Hardy Edge vs. Christian CM Punk vs. Shawn Michaels Jack Swagger vs. Bryan Danielson Batista vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Chris Jericho MVP vs. Shelton Benjamin New Hart Foundation win the Tag Team Turmoil Elijah Burke wins MITB Maryse/Serena vs. James/Kim

Christian defeats Edge via Killswitch (Unprettier) to win the WWE Championship
CM Punk defeats HBK via GTS

Glad that Taker and Cena recieved some big build to open the show. Cant wait to read about their match at WrestleMania. Another good win for Ted Dibiase, hope you push him and i wouldnt mind seeing him win MITB. Good match with Bourne and MVP, would have liked to see either go over. MVP is a good choice. Nice tag match with the heels winning it. Liked that Jericho tried to get Batista counted out. Cutting Edge to end the show was good. Would love to see Christian win the belt at Mania.
As for WrestleMania Predictions...
Mickie and Gail over Maryse and Serena
This ones a very tough one, but im going with Dibiase to win the MITB.
I'm gonna say that the Hart Dynasty are gonna unify the titles.
MVP will go over Benjamin
Rey Mysterio will find a way to win the Triple Threat
Bryan Danielson over Swagger in what im sure will be a classic
Same goes for Punk and Michaels, expecting Michaels to get the win.
This is where its tricky because im almost 1000 percent positive that one heel will be walking out with the belt. Im gonna say Edge retains, while Hardy captures the title.
Taker > Cena. Nuff said. Streak lives.

Let's just get to ECW and Smackdown already, so that way we can read WrestleMania 26, but I am sure that WrestleMania 26 will steal the show no problem, and that all the matches will steal the show
Then the draft I cannot wait until the draft, hopefully big names get moved in your draft, that RAW superstars that are main-eventers get drafted to SD, and that SD superstars that are main-eventers get drafted to RAW, and that ECW superstars get drafted over to RAW or SD, and that RAW upper-midcarders get drafted too either to ECW or SD to build themselves up into main-eventers on whichever brand, and that SD & ECW upper-midcarders get drafted to either RAW, SD, or ECW to build themselves up into main-eventers on whichever brand they end up on
