Dark Match: MVP def. Dolph Ziggler to retain United States Championship- 73%The show opens up with Michael Cole and Matt Striker welcoming you to the show. A large pyro display goes off and the event begins. Intercontinental Championship: Rey Mysterio vs. Chris JerichoA very good match to open up the pay per view. The crowd was strongly behind Mysterio, with Jericho getting a lot of heat. Jericho had the advantage for most of the match but Mysterio turned it around and got the victory with a 619 followed by a splash. Winner: Rey Mysterio- 88%A clip of the past few weeks of Umaga ambushing Punk are shown. Umaga vs. CM PunkPunk probably got the biggest pop of the night, with Judgment Day being in Chicago and all. Umaga pretty much dominated the match though. Punk got in a lot of offense. Umaga hit a Samoan Drop and just when it appeared to be over, Punk dodged a Samoan Spike and somehow managed to lock on the Anaconda Vice for the submission victory. Winner: CM Punk- 84%Clips from the past few weeks on ECW, especially the Peep Show from last week are shown. ECW Championship:Christian vs. Jack SwaggerThe crowd really enjoyed this match, even though it wasn't the greatest. They wanted to see Jack Swagger get beat up really badly. Well, they got what they wished for when Christian retained with and Killswitch. Winner: Christian- 82%John Morrison vs. Shelton Benjamin:This was pretty much the opposite of Christian/Swagger. It was a great wrestling match, but no one seemed to be into it. Morrison's character hasn't really changed much since his "face" turn. Benjamin picked up the victory with a Paydirt. Winner: Shelton Benjamin- 69%After the match Morrison offered his hand as a show of respect. Shelton appears to accept it until he hits yet another Paydirt, leaving Morrison down on the mat. A video showing the history between Edge and Jeff Hardy is shown. World Heavyweight Championship: Edge vs. Jeff HardyThis was the match of the night. Many near falls on both ends which got the crowd really excited. Jeff put in a lot of effort seeing as though he is "burned out" and everything. Despite this, Edge got the victory with a Spear after countering a Twist of Fate. Winner: Edge- 90%Yet another video montage is shown, this time its shows the history of the Big Show and John Cena. It highlights the toss through the light from Backlash. John Cena vs. The Big ShowBig Show dominated almost the whole match. The crowd really didn't like him doing it either. Cena took bump after bump but never gave up. Cena turned it around and pulled out his 5 moves of doom. Big Show stops him though and after moving away from a Five Knuckle Shuffle hits a chokeslam for the victory. Winner: The Big Show- 89%After the match, the Big Show picks up the groggy Cena and hits him with a knockout punch. Randy Orton is shown walking away from Rhodes and DiBiase, heading towards the ramp. A clip of last Monday's Raw shows. WWE Championship: Randy Orton vs. BatistaBatista showed a lot of raw emotion in this match. It was an alright match to end with, but Edge/Hardy would've been better. Batista dominated a majority of the match. Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase ran down to the ring in the middle of the match to distract the referee. It was enough for Orton to knock Batista in the head with the WWE Championship belt. Orton hit an RKO for good measure and picked up the victory. Winner: Randy Orton- 87%The three members of Legacy raise their arms in victory as the pay per view goes off the air.

This seems to have potential. Great way to kick off Judgment Day with Rey Mysterio defending the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Chris Jericho. Never really expected Jericho to win, so I had a feeling that Rey would win. I think that Jericho will really win this match, however, and that's why it's not advertised for being for the gold. Well, by my eyes, anyways. Good match between CM Punk and Umaga, but really expecting that to be the opening contest at Judgment Day. Could use some backstage skits, and the layout is pretty plain. Christian retaining the ECW Championship is likely, in my opinion. Hope Jack Swagger goes on to keep doing some decent stuff. Shame about John Morrison against Shelton Benjamin, was really thinking that could be a great match. Solid World Heavyweight Championship match, but likely that Edge would win. Hope you do indeed turn him face to feud with Jericho. Solid match for Big Show and John Cena, really think Cena will win that, however. Decent main event, very predictable that Randy Orton would beat Batista to retain the WWE Championship.

The opening credits roll and then Randy Orton's music plays as he makes his way down to the ring, along with Legacy. Orton brags about taking Batista out last night at Judgment Day, and that now he is going to move onto bigger and better things. Batista's music hits and he runs down the ring, causing all of Legacy to scatter. Batista motions that he is still after the title and Orton looks on, horrified. 89% We go backstage where we see Vickie Guerrero. After waiting 20 minutes for the boos to die down Vickie announces that tonight, there would be a triple threat match to determine the Number One Contender to the WWE Championship. It was going to be Batista taking on The Big Show and John Cena with the winner going on to face Orton at Night of Champions. 60% Number One Contenders Match for United States Championship: Kofi Kingston vs. Matt Hardy vs. William RegalThe winner of this match would be taking on MVP at Night of Champions. These three have had their differences the past few weeks. The match itself was nothing special, average at best. Regal really didn't click with the other two. Hardy continued selling his broken hand, but he seemed to be fighting harder due to fact that he could get a title shot. Regal got the victory on Kofi with a kick to the head. Winner: William Regal- 77%Backstage Josh Matthews was with MVP. Matthews asked about his upcoming match with William Regal. MVP acted confident that he would remain United States Champion for a long time to come and that Regal had no chance to take it away. He does his whole Ballin' thing and walks off. 74% We cut to a shot of backstage where we see Big Show continually hitting John Cena with chair shot after chair shot. Eventually a number of trainers come in for the save but the medics are called and Cena must be stretchered off. 81% Mickie James vs. Beth PhoenixThis match has strong Diva's championship implications, with Mickie having beat Maryse for two straight weeks and Beth wanting to get back into the title hunt. It was an okay match, for what it was. Santina Marella came out and mooned Beth before Mickie rolled her up and got the quick victory. Winner: Mickie James- 79%Primo Colon vs. The Brian KendrickA good wrestling match, but it didn't garner a lot of heat. Neither man got much of a reaction coming out. Some good back and forth high flying stuff between these too. Kendrick won with a Kendrick. Winner: The Brian Kendrick- 76%After the match Kendrick said this was step two in becoming a World Tag Team Champion and that he was still looking for THE perfect tag partner. We cut backstage to Vickie Guerrero once again. This time she alerts the audience that John Cena will be unable to compete tonight so it will be Batista vs. The Big Show going one on one. The Miz vs. Jim DugganNothing more than a squash match. The Miz won quickly with a Reality Check. Winner: The Miz- 63%Miz continued talking trash about John Cena after his match. He calls out Cena and when he doesn't come out he continues adding to the score. The Miz- 4, John Cena- 0. The Main Event is up next. The Big Show is in the ring. Batista's music hits and after he comes out, out of nowhere Cody Rhodes and DiBiase attack Batista with chairs, knocking him down. They pick him up and roll him into the ring. Big Show calls for the ref to ring the bell. 78% The Big Show vs. BatistaThe Big Show covers Batista right away, but he kicks out. Show tries to go for the Chokeslam, but Batista gets out of it. He throws him at the ropes but Batista hits a Spear! Batista gets the pinfall victory as the two members of Legacy look on in horror. Winner: Batista- 85%Batista motions that he will be the new WWE Champion as Raw goes off the air.

I like the opening segment. It is a good way to continue Orton/Batista.
Okay triple threat for the shot at the gold. I am pulling for Show as that is the freshest match up of the bunch.
I am happy Regal went over; I hope he gets a nice reign with the US title, if he wins it. MVP/Regal should be a solid match when it takes places.
I love Show taking out Cena. I see Cena missing the triple threat match, then coming out and attacking Show, costing him the match.
I can’t see Santina actually mooning Beth with a PG rating, although I did find the idea funny. Happy Mickie James won the match. I hope she gets pushed as a serious athlete again.
I am pleased that The Brian Kendrick went over as I find him to be the better of the two men. I wonder who his perfect tag partner will be.
The Miz match did nothing for me. I like Miz continuing to call out Cena. I hope these two hook up one day and Miz goes over.
Surprised Cena didn’t make a superman run in. Obvious Batista was going to win. I hope he doesn’t take the strap off Orton.

Judgment Day... A bit weird with MVP defending his title in a dark match, but whatever. Rey Mysterio over Chris Jericho was the right choice, Mysterio needed the win and I was glad to see him keep the gold. I would have preferred Umaga to go over CM Punk, having a good return to the company, defeating the Money in the Bank holder. Christian over Jack Swagger was predictable, wouldn't want to rid Christian of the title too soon. I would have liked to see Morrison go over Shelton Benjamin as it would push him that much more into the limelight. Edge over Jeff Hardy was another predictable match as the transitional title reigns are getting ridiculous. Let Edge keep it for a while. Big Show over Cena was good, gives Show the push he needs on Raw. Randy Orton over Batista was yet again predictable as Orton wouldn't be losing the title so soon, especially not to someone like Batista.
Monday Night Raw... Nice to see William Regal getting a chance at United States Championship gold, but to be honest, I don't see him getting the title any time soon. Mickie James going over Beth Phoenix is good and I hope you push her into the Diva's title scene real soon. The Brian Kendrick defeating Primo was good and I like that he will be entering the tag division with a brand new partner. The Miz over Jim Duggan was obviously a squash match to push Miz, but I do like the Miz/Cena thing continuing and I wonder where you will go with it. Batista over Big Show was a surprise, would have thought Big Show would have won, but keeping Batista in the WWE title picture isn't really what I had in mind, but I am looking forward to see where you take it.

-Decent opening segment -Good to see a Regal/MVP feud although I'd rather have seen Kofi/MVP -Mickie winning is good, push her please -Glad Kendrick won. Perfect partner? Joe Henning? -Miz squash was fine, liked that he added to the score -Would've liked to see Show win as if would be different
Decent Raw. Keep this up though and it could get more interesting.

The opening credits roll, hyping the main event of Jack Swagger and Vladamir Koslov taking on ECW Champion Christian and Finlay. Jack Swagger's music hits and he makes his way to the ring. He talks about Judgment Day and says that Christian cheated once again. Christian's music hits and he talks some trash to Swagger. He says that if Swagger's team beats his team tonight, that he could have a title shot. Swagger nodded and left the ring. 83% Evan Bourne vs. Jamie NobleSurprisingly not a very good match here. The crowd just didn't seem to believe Noble as a heel, which was the role he played tonight. Bourne held the momentum for a lot of the match. Noble got in a little offense to make it a competitive matchup. Bourne got the victory with a Shooting Star Press. Winner: Evan Bourne- 69%We go to the back where Hurricane Helms is interviewing DH Smith and Tyson Kidd. They call Finlay a washed up hag who doesn't belong in a wrestling ring. They put themselves over. Natalya probably should've been here because these two don't talk the best. 52% DJ Gabriel vs. Zack RyderA surprisingly decent matchup here. Back and forth action between two of ECW's newer superstars to start off. Ryder took the advantage quickly and started slapping Gabriel around, saying "Woo Woo Woo!!!" after each slap. After a quick comeback from Gabriel, which was thrwarted, Ryder picked up the victory with a Lifting Inverted DDT which Ryder is going to be calling the Hair Plant. YOU KNOW IT! WOO WOO WOO! Winner: Zack Ryder- 72%Another one of those videos hyping Vladamir Koslov is shown. He is shown rolling around on a gym floor. Thrilling. 58% Christian and Finlay vs. Jack Swagger and Vladamir Koslov Nothing much to say here. Swagger let Koslov dominate most of the match. Christian made Koslov wobble, causing Swagger to get the blind tag. He hit the Killswitch on Koslov and tagged in Finlay. Finlay was met with a huge clothesline followed by a Gutwrench Powerbomb to give the victory to Swagger. Winner: Jack Swagger and Vladamir KoslovSwagger motions that he will become "ETHEEW" Champion once again as ECW goes of the air.

I like the opening segment, good way to set the main event. I hope Jack Swagger wins, I dig him feuding with Christian. I would eventually like for him to win back the title.
I am happy Evan Bourne won as he is the superior talent. I am surprised it only got a 69%, I guess neither man is to over.
I was surprised Natalya was not involved in the interview. I like them calling out Finlay.
Happy Zack Ryder got the win, as I just do not like DJ Gabriel. Zack could have a decent future ahead of him, if he picks up a better gimmick; however, his catchphrase is to epic to give up.
I wonder what you will do with Vladamir. I would love for him to get a mouthpiece and bring him to the top. He plays a dominate heel, but without a manager I find his useless. You can’t be the top dog without being able to talk or have someone talk for you.
I am very confused by the main event. How did Jack Swagger and Christian win the match when they weren’t on the same team. Swagger also attacked his own teammate and then tag in Finlay, who he also somehow managed to pin cleanly.
Overall, it was a decent show. I hope you can clarify the main event for me. I enjoyed this show more than Raw though, I am looking forward to how this diary continues to progress.

Just a typo on my part. I fixed it so it says Koslov was the winner with Swagger instead of Christian.

Decent opening promo, but didn't really do anything. And I really hope the Batista and The Legacy's feud is finished soon. And doesn't go into Extreme Rules, that'd be just plain bad. Decent contenders match, William Regal winning is interesting, really hope you begin to build Matt Hardy up the card, however. Alright womens match, but Mickie James and Beth Phoenix would normally be on a pay-per-view or be hyped in some way. Haha, nice bit with Santina Marella. Decent match, The Brian Kendrick beating Primo is nice to see. The Miz over Jim Duggan is okay, but gets him nowhere, really. Decent main event, but nothing too special.
Alright opening promo to kick off ECW on Sci-Fi. nothing too special, however. Evan Bourne beating Jamie Noble is fine. A solid opening contest, right there. Alright match between Zack Ryder and DJ Gabriel, but it was filler. Please push Ryder. Eurgh, I've noticed those Vladimir Koslov video packages. Bloody awwful. Decent main event. Only complaint is it had a very similar ending to RAW.

The opening credits show with the awesome theme song for Superstars. A video is shown hyping the main event which will see Rey Mysterio going one on one against Chris Jericho! 90% The Miz comes out to the ring and gloats about how he is still undefeated against John Cena. He says he will make waste against whoever he is facing tonight. Kofi Kingston's music hits as The Miz gets ready for the match. The Miz vs. Kofi Kingston Raw's portion of Superstars featured its very solid midcard scene. This was a decent match, but not anything too special. Some nice back and forth action with The Miz with the advantage most of the time. The Miz hit a Reality Check after a missed Trouble in Paradise to get the victory. Winner: The Miz- 78%We go to the back with Chris Jericho. He tears into Rey Mysterio, calling him a hypocrite and his other big words that he uses. He says that he has a huge surprise for little Rey Rey tonight. Sounds intriguing. Good interview actually. 87% Cryme Tyme vs. DH Smith and Tyson KiddThis was counted as ECW's portion of the show. Smith and Kidd dominated the entire match. It was good for what it was, a squash. Smith and Kidd worked the crowd pretty well. They picked up the win when Kidd nailed a Springboard Elbow. Winner: DH Smith and Tyson Kidd- 66%We see the Raw Rebound, highlighting the feud between Randy Orton and Batista. 87% Chris Jericho vs. Rey MysterioThis was a really good match here. Both men got in a lot of offense and looked really impressive. Mysterio hit all of his moves, and so did Jericho. Just after Mysterio hits his 619 a man attacked Mysterio. He looks like this: NO CONTESTJericho joins in on the beating and shakes the man's hand. The two men continue to beat down Mysterio. They raise each other's arms as Superstars goes off the air.

Good opening match, glad Miz picked up the win. Solid win for Smith/Kidd to put them over. I had a gut feeling that the debut would be Low Ki. Somewhat interesting, but unsure about the Ki/Jericho pairing and where it can go. But, we'll see where you go with it.

Alright, decent opening contest to kick off WWE Superstars, with some RAW action in the ring. The Miz beating Kofi Kingston is fine, glad that Miz's push continues, and hope he moves up the card, gradually. Good way to get David Hart Smith and Tyson Kidd over, beating a worthless jabroni team like Cryme Tyme. Don't rush them into a feud with WWE Unified Tag Team Champions, Primo and Carlito just yet, though. Good main event between Chris Jericho and Rey Mysterio, seemed solid, and as good as Low-Ki/Kaval debuting to side with Jericho, I can't see it. I mean, bringing Kaval in from the independent circuit right into the upper-card region? Hmm. Wouldn't be so over, to be honest.

The opening credits play and the main event is announced. It is going to be World Heavyweight Champion Edge taking on R-Truth! Jeff Hardy vs. KaneKane makes his return after a short hiatus. The match wasn't very good as these two don't really mix well in the ring. It was pretty much a way to get Hardy back on track after his loss at Judgement Day. He finished Kane off with a Twist of Fate, followed by a Swanton Bomb. Winner: Jeff Hardy- 67%After the match Edge runs in and attacks Hardy, hitting a Spear and leaving him down. We go to the back and see Teddy Long with a disgusted look on his face. He says that based on Edge's actions tonight, it would be Jeff Hardy taking on Edge for the World Heavyweight Championship at Night of Champions! 69% Clips from the main event of Superstars are shown, including the beat down of Rey Mysterio by a mystery man. Eve Mendez is in the back with Chris Jericho and the man who attacked Rey Mysterio on Superstars last night. Jericho talks about Rey's pathetic attempt at beating him on Superstars and introduces the man as Kaval. He says that Kaval has a lot of expirience in martial arts and that nobody will be able to stop them, which includes little Rey Rey when he faces Kaval tonight. 81% Umaga vs. CM PunkNice Judgment Day rematch here. It was a decent match but once again the styles clashed. This wasn't as good as their Judgment Day encounter. Umaga dominated much of the match, but Punk beat the savage once again with an Anaconda Vise to gain another upset and prove that Judgment Day wasn't a fluke. Winner: CM Punk- 75%We go to the back with Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin. Haas says that he has Benjamin's back in this whole deal with Morrison. Shelton nods and says that even though he can deal with that wannabe by himself, he will accept Haas' help. The two shake hands and walk off together. 68% Dolph Ziggler vs. John MorrisonA squash. The crowd really isn't in to Ziggler at all. Morrison pulled off some decent moves but they didn't really save the match. Shelton Benjamin came up on the titantron, like he did on Superstars a couple weeks ago. This time the distraction failed and Morrison hit the Moonlight Drive for the victory. Winner: John Morrison- 58%Benjamin and Charlie Haas come out from the crowd and attempt to attack Morrison. Morrison gets out of dodge before they can do any damage. Another video is aired, hyping the main event of Edge vs. R-Truth. 86% Kaval vs. Rey MysterioKaval, who was joined by Chris Jericho at ringside, looks very impressive in his in ring debut. Mysterio dominated much of the match but Kaval hit some really nice kicks in the match. The two seemed to click really well in the ring and there were some nice spots. While Kaval distracted the ref, Jericho hit a Codebreaker. Kaval climbed the top rops and hit a Diving Double Foot Stomp for the huge victory. Winner: Kaval- 74%Chris Jericho hit the ring and beat down Mysterio as Kaval stood there and watched. Much like Superstars, the two men raise each others' arms as Rey lies there. We go to the back where R-Truth is being interview. Truth talks about how tonight he has a huge opportunity when he faces Edge. He says he will take advantage of the opportunity and show Edge What's Up. 75% The Raw Rebound is shown, hyping the feud between Batista and Randy Orton. 79% Edge vs. R-TruthNothing really special here. Edge dominated with R-Truth getting in a little bit of offense so that it wasn't really a squash. Truth missed a Scissors Kick and got a Spear for his troubles, giving Edge the victory. Winner: Edge- 72%As Edge is handed his World Heavyweight Championship, Jeff Hardy hits the ring and attacks Edge. He goes after Edge for revenge of what he did to him earlier. He hits a Twist of Fate and picks up the belt and raises it in the air. The show goes off the air.

Good win for Jeff Hardy and a solid way to kick off the action. I love Edge attacking Hardy after the match. Nice way to set up Hardy/Edge to NOC, it was certainly different. I love the team of Kaval and Jericho, very interesting. I would love someone to push Umaga to the moon. Good win for Punk. Nice to give WGTT some mic time. Morrison/Dolph was pretty high up the card, I guess it was filler. I am happy to see Morrison getting the push. Good idea not having Morrison get jumped. Kaval winning is fine because Jericho interfered. I wonder what this will lead to. Decent win for Edge and a nice way to get R-Truth in the main event. Iike Jeff attacking Edge.

Wish Kane wasn't a complete jobber like he pretty much has been in real life. Umaga tapping out makes him look pretty weak. Morrison winning was the right call there. Kaval over Rey is interesting, it's intriguing but possibly rushed. Solid main event there. The show was fine, just a few questionable booking decisions.

Decent opening contest to kick off WWE SmackDown, Jeff Hardy and Kane would be a solid match up. Suprised it didn't live up to expectations. Sometimes EWR fails at that sort of stuff. Hardy winning is fine. Solid rematch from Judgment Day with CM Punk overcoming Umaga, seemed decent. Eurgh, didn't like John Morrison taking on Dolph Ziggler. Ziggler wasn't over? Pretty doubtful to me. Decent match between Kaval and Rey Mysterio, but jusst wish it would of been placed at Extreme Rules, and Kaval wouldn't be too over, like I mentioned on the Superstars review. Edge beating R-Truth is a decent main event, but nothing too good.

Loads of WWE News/Notes- No return date is scheduled for the returns of Triple H, Shawn Michaels, or Undertaker. At least two and maybe all of them are considering retirement at the moment and are taking some time off.
- Another rumor of retirement is Finlay. Finlay really enjoyed training the divas back before he returned and would like to get back to doing that. Expect him to just job for the next few months until a decision is made.
- CM Punk is scheduled for a huge push to ready him to cash in the Money in the Bank and look like a real champion. The people in management felt he looked weak during his first run and want to avoid that from happening again.
- Mr. Kennedy could be returning anytime now. No news on any plans for him as of yet. The feeling is if he gets injured again, he will be released.
- The plans for Kaval aka Low Ki are for him to be an enforcer of sorts for Chris Jericho. Vince McMahon is very high on Kaval and feels that if he gets the rub from Jericho he could be huge.
- Expect a number of releases to come soon of people considered dead weight.
- There are still a lot of questions on who Brian Kendrick's partner will be for the perfect partner angle. There are several candidates including: Joe Hennig, The Miz, Lance Hoyt, and possibly bringing back Paul London to reform the Hooligans.
- Vladamir Koslov has failed to impress in his time in ECW. It is unlikely that he will receive much of a push.
- The news out of the recent scouting of Florida Championship Wrestling is that very few of the people there are even close to being ready to be called up to the main roster. The person who is closest is Caylen Croft, but the feeling is he even has a ways to go.
