-Good promo to start things off with the bound-to-be-classic between Cena and Michaels. One of them is going to be a heel very soon I can tell.
-I really like Truth's push. So him as Intercontinental Champion is decent.
-Mancini over Kim is fine. Neither way effects me though.
-Very amusing Rock, Paper, Scissors contest. Thought that Goldust would win lol!
-Bret over Gaspard because of Hart Dynasty's actions is smart to heat this rivalry up a bit.
-I think I knew Ted wouldn't beat the two of them without the DQ finish as this sets up some more Legacy tension.
-Wow. That's a very interesting vignette for SummerSlam.
-Happy to see Bourne, Kingston, Cena, and Morrison winning as I still believe Cena will win at SummerSlam.
-Good show just thirteen days until SummerSlam. Lots of exciting matches to look to. Good job as usual, AJ.

WWE RAW: Monday 2nd August 2010...Decent promo to start off the show, John Cena in the ring once again promoting the rivalry with Shawn Michaels headed into SummerSlam. More hype in the ring is good. I like it but this is getting slightly repetitive. R-Truth beating William Regal is alright, good to see R-Truth with the WWE Intercontinental Championship too, as he is pretty deserving of the belt. Just break away from being so cheesy with his babyface gimmick and give him a lot of personality. Wade Barrett's taking out everybody, that is bizarre. Serena Mancini with contention to the WWE Divas Championship wasn't that hard to configure. Good win against Gail Kim. Michelle McCool and Layla's attack was good. Trent Barreta, Curt Hawkins and Caylen Croft showing themselves as impact players in The Dudebusters is great against Goldust and Santino Marella, double DDT on the floor was too much though. Expected win for Bret Hart; it's always in No Holds Barred we see The Hart Dynasty give Bret help towards victory. Surprising against Shad Gaspard, may I add. Ted Dibiase overcoming The Legacy protegés was expected; disqualification finish was dumb considering Dibiase had to win on his own terms to get the actual match with Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam; predictable win for him anyway. The Miz's promo with Shawn Michaels was fun. Lastly, all-star eight man tag team main event with Evan Bourne, John Cena, John Morrison and Kofi Kingston defeating Batista, Chris Jericho, Shawn Michaels and The Miz. A good show overall, but this great main event promoting SummerSlam's card should have waited until next week.

- Great promo with Cena and HBK. Their match for SummerSlam gets more exciting every week.
- Good to see Truth win the IC title. Very different. Kind of weird to see Barrett attack both Regal and Truth, but it's good if its gonna set up a Triple Threat.
- Serena winning title contention is great. Hopefully she takes the gold.
- Fun segment with Santino and Goldust. Interesting to see The Dudebusters attack them.
- Bret winning was expected. Didn't expect Bret to take a bump though. Great build up for the tag match at SummerSlam.
- Expected win for Ted to get his last match with Rhodes. Should be interesting to see who comes out on top.
- Good promo with the heel team. Very entertaining to see Miz keep claiming to be the leader.
- Not surprised to see the faces win. Interesting post match actions from Michaels.
- Great Raw.

 ECW: August 3, 2010 Preview
On this edition of ECW, nothing has yet to be determined for matches. However, Vince McMahon, ECW Champion Drew McIntyre, and the 4 other attackers from the ECW brand will speak to the crowd about the actions and intentions of last week. However Paul Heyman, Rob Van Dam, and the 4 who came to the aid of RVD last week on ECW are very much expected to be there as well to receive answers to all of this.[/font] |

l AUGUST 3RD, 2010 l ENTERTAINMENT CENTRE: BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA l
"For The Love of ECW"
The opening pyros go off wildly, the crowd being scanned over as Josh Mathews and Todd Grisham welcome everybody to ECW. Following the introduction, Vince McMahon, ECW Champion Drew McIntyre, Dolph Ziggler, Kenny Omega, Chavo Guerrero, and Ezekiel Jackson come down to the ring. Vince laughs as he is in the ring and he gets on the mic. He says last week Drew McIntyre, the one he chose to be the future of this company won the ECW Championship! The crowd boo and Vince goes on to say Paul Heyman calls himself the heart and soul and controller of ECW, and that may be true. But Paul Heyman is killing himself - and therefore taking ECW down with him. He says that Heyman has been trying and trying to make ECW stronger over these past few months, but it hasn't worked out. He says the ECW Challenge sounded like a good idea - but everybody, including Heyman himself, knew that ECW Championship would be in the possession of one of the Raw or Smackdown superstars. He points to McIntyre and hands the microphone off to him. McIntyre says he has been trying and trying to prove his point over these past few months. He says he was nearly manslaughtered at Fatal 4 Way and then he was constantly screwed out of the ECW Championship by Rob Van Dam and the corrupt referees who had no idea what was going on. He says it doesn't matter anymore now, though, as he is the ECW Champion and no one else. The crowd boo wildly, and Paul Heyman makes his way out to the ramp using the original ECW theme to a tremendous pop from the crowd. As he stands on the ramp Rob Van Dam, Justin Gabriel, Kaval, Yoshi Tatsu, and Shelton Benjamin come out around him. Heyman has a mic and he says he is sick and tired of Vince McMahon, Drew McIntyre, and the rest of the disrespectful jerks in the ring with them. He says he doesn't care anymore about fighting back and forth with these words - he wants to take action. He says he wants a match at Summerslam: a 5-on-5 Elimination Match. The crowd pops for the idea of it and the Anti-ECW alliance begin to talk. Vince smiles as he looks back to Heyman, saying "you're on". As Heyman and the Pro-ECW stars begin to walk off satisfied, Vince says there is something else though. He says he wants Heyman to show he truly has the guts and glory like ECW did back in the day - he wants him to put ECW itself on the line. The arena goes silent in anticipation of an answer. Heyman smiles, and much like Vince had said he says "you're on".
Commercial Break
Tag Team Match
Chavo Guerrero and Dolph Ziggler vs Justin Gabriel and Kaval
The bell rings with Gabriel starting off with Guerrero. They trade back and forth shots before taking each other down multiple times in fast paced solid action for a few minutes before Guerrero takes control and makes frequent tags with Ziggler. Eventually, Ziggler ends up failing in hitting the Zig Zag, and Gabriel tags in Kaval who unloads. Eventually, Guerrero becomes legal, Kaval hits a sharp kick to the head and tags in Gabriel who hits the 450 splash for the win.
Winners of the match: Justin Gabriel and Kaval [8:25] **3/4
Gabriel and Kaval celebrate their victory that gives the Pro-ECW team some momentum heading in closer towards Summerslam, which is only 12 days away. The video package hyping up Summerslam from Raw the night before is then shown featuring CM Punk and R-Truth in 300.
Commercial Break
Singles Match
Yoshi Tatsu vs Kenny Omega
The bell sounds, Tatsu unloading with kicks on Omega over and over again. Omega fights back though, taking him down with a hard shot and then proceeding onwards to hit some signature moves. He hits the Croyt's Wrath and it seems like it is all over, but Tatsu surprisingly kicks out. Omega beats down Tatsu for a couple minutes before getting kicked in the back of the head. However, out of nowhere Omega comes to and hits the EX Hadouken and gets the pinfall.
Winner of the match: Kenny Omega [7:40] **1/4
The crowd are quite stunned as Tatsu had done a full flip from the impact of the EX Hadouken. Omega celebrates his victory and exits the ring in satisfaction, the night now tied up 1-1 between the Pro ECW and Anti ECW teams. The referee checks down on Tatsu.
Commercial Break
We return in Vince McMahon's office with his team - Omega just now stepping in. He says that the Pro-ECW "superstars" have nothing on them. Guerrero tries to speak and McMahon tells him to shut up, he lost his match. Ziggler then tries to as well, and McMahon gives him the same response. He points to Omega and says this is a winner - he can take a kick to the back of the head and then win a match. He points to Drew and says that he is a winner, he is the ECW Champion. He then turns his attention to Ezekiel. He says that next week on ECW in the main event, he wants Ezekiel Jackson to destroy Rob Van Dam, no, he wants him to dominate Rob Van Dam. Jackson smiles a bit and says it won't be a problem. McIntyre stands up and Vince tells him he has this in the bag tonight against Shelton Benjamin, and orders them to go. They exit.
We cut to Paul Heyman's office with his team. He says that Rob Van Dam is the one not in action tonight for this team. He says that Drew McIntyre will not be in action next week as he faces Shelton Benjamin tonight. Benjamin stands up and says he'll do whatever it takes to make sure this "chump of an ECW Champion" doesn't walk out victorious tonight. Heyman says he likes the attitude and he says that if anything goes down after the main event between the two teams - which is likely - he wants them to do whatever they can to show them the extreme side of ECW. He says they may not be the original ECW, this may not be the original ECW, but they can still have the same spirit and extreme mind. He asks if they are ready, and everybody shouts out. Heyman then asks again if they are ready - this time adding to fight for the love of ECW - and they all shout out again in cheers. RVD then begins an "E-C-W" chant, the whole team and Heyman joining in as they exit the room.
Commercial Break
Non-Title Match
Shelton Benjamin vs ECW Champion Drew McIntyre
The bell rings and the two lock up. Benjamin gets the upper hand as he takes McIntyre into the corner and hits some hard shots. He misses a sudden superkick as McIntyre ducks it and hits a suplex. He goes on hitting suplexes, neckbreakers, and big boots. Benjamin fights back though, and McIntyre throws him shoulder first into the steel post. He begins to pound down across his back viciously and then throws him into the post again. The referee stops him and Benjamin goes for the Paydirt, but his shoulder is hurt so he can't do it. McIntyre kicks the gut and hits the Future Shock. He pins him for the 3.
Winner of the match: Drew McIntyre [9:58] ***
McIntyre celebrates his victory and then smirks as the Anti-ECW alliance begin to walk down to the ring. However, as they are doing so Rob Van Dam, Yoshi Tatsu, Kaval, and Justin Gabriel come running out from behind each with a steel chair and they strike at a member each. McIntyre looks bewildered as he looks on over the ropes, yelling up the ramp trying to do something - to no avail. Jackson gets hit with 2 chairs to the back at once by Kaval and Gabriel and he is down. Ziggler then gets tossed into the steel steps, Guerrero laid out with a chair to the head, and Omega hit with a kick to the back of the head with a chair placed by RVD from Tatsu. McIntyre continues to yell as Benjamin gets up behind him and dropkicks him over the top rope. He stands there, the Pro-ECW stars circling around him. They drop their chairs as McIntyre sighs in relief, however, the relief doesn't last as they all begin to beat down on him. Benjamin soon gets out of the ring and joins in, the crowd loving it. Security comes rushing down to ringside and they try to break things up. The Anti-ECW alliance begin to stir and they begin to fend off security and once again an all out brawl ends the show. |

SmackDown: Very shocking opening segment, really didn't expect that from Danielson but I love it, can't wait to hear his reasoning and this fued will be great. The Colons over the Usos is cool with the Uso's regain ing anything they lost post match. Phoenix retaining is cool, Three on One assault? that works. GREAT segment between Angle and Swagger, loving this. Swagger getting an upperhand actually makes him look strong there. The DQ finish makes the SES look violent and dangerous which is good for a stable. Orton trying to make the save is good as is the SES getting away. Kofi over Ryder is cool, the aftermath was fine too, for build. Jericho shouldn't really be in the US Title race but atleast he's on the card. MVP winning makes him look very stong and I love it. Big Show angry is the best gimmick for him at the moment. I love Edge trying to be on good terms with Sheamus and Sheamus not buying it, it's really in character for Sheamus. Honestly, Christian should've won but with the Spear it's fine. Would've prefered a DQ however. Good Show overall.
RAW: I like Cena speaking well of Shawn even if they are fueding. Shawn being rebellious is cool too, I'd love to see him as champion again. Not a fan of Truth as Intercontinental Champion, Barrett, however, would be nice. Serena as contender is cool, someone needs to stop LayCool, they really irritate me. The rock, paper, scissor game was funny, I liked Santino's stupidity. The Dudebusters attack was cool. Like I think I have said before, I love that ECW is split. Bret winning is cool, it would only work with interference and it did, this can further continue the fued. I like the heels standing tall though. I like that Rhodes literally gave Ted the match by beating the crapout of him. Great job, this Legacy fued has defintley developed into something entertaining. I liked the segment invloving HBK, Miz, Batista and Jericho, a very strong team. Cool spounding SummerSlam vignette. The main event is stacked! Really I feel like The heels had the stronger team overall. Batista losing to Bourne makes Batista look kinda weak if I'm honest, but overall it's fine. The faces standing tall with Shawn Michaels is an amazing picture, love it. Great RAW.
ECW: a Very good opening segment to set up the ECW match at SummerSlam. Love the elimination concept, but I feel like your going to end ECW, even though I think you shouldn't. You have something that no one else can have if they make a current day WWE. ECW. Gabriel and Kaval over Ziggler and Chavo is cool it works, as would a victory the other way around. Tieing up the scores with a win for Omega is cool. Gret main event to make the Anti-ECW look stong and the ECW Champ look credible. Some sick aftermath with Pro-ECW getting the upperhand. Good edition of ECW.

-Great opening promo. The 5v5 match at Summerslam sounds great.
-Gabriel and Kaval winning is great for the Pro-ECW squad.
-Omega over Tatsu is nice to even up the wins between the two teams.
-McIntyre over Benjamin is decent for he is the ECW champion. The post match brawl at the end is always nice.
Overall, Great ECW leading into Summerslam.

-Good start to the show. Team Heyman/Team McMahon should be nice at SummerSlam. Think it should be like it RVD's team wins, he wins the ECW Championship and vice versa. Unless that's going to effect your results.
-Gabriel and Kaval over Guerrero and Ziggler is the better call since Guerrero and Ziggler seem to the weaker of the other team.
-Omega over Tatsu is a decent call. Wouldn't mind to see a Tatsu push but this is obviously Omega's time. And they needed to even things up.
-McIntyre over Benjamin keeps him strong now that he's ECW Champion.
-Epic post-brawl stuff. Pro-ECW standing tall is solid.

-Right off the bat, I must admit, I not only love the idea of Drew McIntyre as ECW Champion, but the whole end ECW angle is awesome. That huge tag match at the PPV should be great
-Solid opening tag match, really enjoy the team of Gabriel & Kaval
-Kenny Omega certainly is an unorthodox guy to bring in, but he could fit on ECW. Glad he won
-Ezekiel/RVD sounds like a great main event next week
-And this week's main event was great as well. Benjamin/McIntyre would be an interesting contest and I'm happy to see Drew win. Always love a show ending brawl
Very good ECW, I just saw your SummerSlam card and I am impressed. It looks great and I'm looking forward to it.

I never realized how long this diary was – kudos for making it pretty far!
I really liked the opening segment, and I feel if Drew McIntyre was actually booked like that, he would be extremely over. The 5 on 5 elimination match is cool, but you could have milked it out till Survivor Series – at least that is what I would’ve done. The “ECW on the line” stipulation was foreseeable, but still good. Justin Gabriel and Kaval gaining momentum going into SummerSlam by defeating Dolph Ziggler and Chavo Guerrero is good. Kenny Omega defeating Yoshi Tatsu is good and I feel that is the right call. I am torn on if I like the show being completely focused on ECW versus anti-ECW. It is nice to see such dedication to a storyline, but I feel it makes the roster look small and everyone unimportant. Drew defeating Shelton in the main event is acceptable. The post match brawl/confrontation was fine. Overall, it was a decent show, but I am more interested to see what you can do with ECW after Summer Slam.

 Smackdown: August 6, 2010 Preview
With 9 days until Summerslam, WWE Champion Edge will be in action against Randy Orton. Meanwhile, both Christian and CM Punk will not be in action unlike their respected rivals - but are expected to be in the building for this show. However, what will come into play within the time?
Also, a new side of Bryan Danielson was shown last week. Now he takes on MVP, who looks to try and knock Danielson back into the place he was before this new side burst out. As well, Jack Swagger will be in action against Kofi Kingston in what has already shown as a great match.
Further more, Kane is seeking revenge for what the Straight Edge Society caused last week, as he will be facing Joey Mercury one-on-one. Carlito will be facing Jimmy Uso and Beth Phoenix will be facing Melina and Maryse in a triple threat match for the Women's Championship.[/font] |

ECW on SyFy: Tuesday 3rd August 2010...Good opening promo to start off, and I love the idea of a five-on-five elimination match for the life of ECW. Again though, Vince McMahon is so two-faced, with his current situation with Bret Hart tieing in with the ECW Invaders against the ECW Roster. Have to say though, weak team for Pro-ECW in my mind, compared to Vince's team. Good start to the show with tag team action, as Justin Gabriel and Kaval beat Chavo Guerrero and Dolph Ziggler. I could see Ziggler and Kaval with good pushes if ECW does so end, or perhaps after the rivalry between WWE and ECW ends. Great win for Kenny Omega against Yoshi Tatsu; but both men are lost if they end up leaving ECW. One reason why them retaining the show would be good. Lastly, great win for Drew McIntyre against Shelton Benjamin but Benjamin should have got a shock victory in my mind. But I get it, since Pro-ECW was 1-1. Hopefully next week Pro-ECW beat Anti-ECW with 2-1. A good close, and a good show as a whole.

l AUGUST 6th, 2010 l ENTERTAINMENT CENTRE: BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA l
"Venomous Viper"
The opening pyros go off as Jim Ross and Matt Striker welcome everybody to Smackdown. Sheamus makes his way down to the ring to the crowds displeasure, and he gets on the mic. He starts off gloating about his victory over Christian last week, and asks why is it that he beats the #1 contender to the WWE Championship, yet he doesn't even get a shot at the title. He then asks why is it that Randy Orton faces Edge in the main event tonight - even if it is non-title - yet he doesn't even get a non-title match with Edge. He says he is honestly insulted, but he realizes what he has to do: make a bigger impact. He says he is going to do whatever it takes to make it to the top in the WWE, no matter what it takes. He looks around the arena before saying he will be at Summerslam - but not in a match, because he can make an impact without being in a match and he is going to do just that. He begins to step out of the ring, but Edge makes his way down to the ring. He gets on the mic and says that Sheamus isn't getting a match against him for one reason and one reason only: because he didn't win without him. Sheamus seems angry already, and Edge tells him to calm down because like he said last week - he wants to work things out with Sheamus, in fact, he'll get him that title shot after he beats Christian at Summerslam. He mentions Sheamus going to make an impact at Summerslam and tells him to think about the WWE Championship match. Sheamus responds by saying that he already has plans, 'fella'. He says he doesn't need his hand outs and last week he would of beat Christian without his help. Edge says he doesn't doubt that for a minute, and then tries to work Sheamus to help him out at Summerslam. After he is done, Sheamus just steps out of the ring and makes his way backstage without giving an answer as to if he will help Edge in 9 days at Summerslam.
Commercial Break
Singles Match
Jimmy Uso w/Jules Uso vs Carlito w/Primo
The bell rings and Carlito hits a few fast paced moves around Jimmy. They each fight back and forth a bit before Carlito gets tossed out of the ring. Jimmy distracts the ref well Jules begins to beat down Carlito, and Primo comes rushing over to fend him off. Carlito gets back in the ring and is met with a hard clothesline and a few hard slams. Carlito goes for the Backstabber, but Jimmy grabs the ropes nearby and climbs to the top rope and hits the big splash for the 3.
Winner of the match: Jimmy Uso [7:16] **1/2
Jules gets in the ring after he throws Primo into the barricade. He gets into the ring and begins to beat down Carlito with Jimmy. Primo soon gets up and gets back in the ring, and he is taken down with a double clothesline.

They get up taunting and exit the ring with grins across their faces.
Commercial Break
Non-Title Match
Montel Vontavious Porter vs United States Champion Bryan Danielson
The bell rings and MVP offers Danielson a handshake, which he refuses, and unloads with strikes to MVP. He hits a lot of kicks as well and beats the living hell out of MVP for a few minutes. However, MVP fights back with some shots of his own, but fails to hit the Play of the Day. Danielson goes for the Cattle Mutilation, but can't lock it in. MVP then fights back some more and hits the Drive-By, but as he goes for the Play of the Day, Danielson rolls him up for the 3.
Winner of the match: Bryan Danielson [8:40] **3/4
Danielson quickly celebrates his win and mocks MVP with the United States Title. MVP gets up and shoves him, Danielson shoving him back.

Singles Match
Jack Swagger vs Kofi Kingston
The bell rings as Kingston unloads with kicks and punches and hits a huge dropkick. After he continues hitting a lot of moves over the next couple minutes and Swagger manages to catch him on the Trouble in Paradise and pulls him up onto his shoulder to hit the Gut Wrench Powerbomb. He only gets a two count however, and they continue to go at it in the next few minutes. As Swagger is being beaten down in the corner, he hits a low blow where the referee can't see it. Kurt Angle steps out to the ramp and Swagger is distracted and gets rolled up for the 3.
Winner of the match: Kofi Kingston [10:32] ***
Kingston gets up in celebration as Swagger gets up at the ropes looking up the ramp in anger. Angle begins to come down to the ring as Swagger motions for him. Angle just smiles and backs off as Swagger gets turned around by Kingston and hit with the Trouble in Paradise. Swagger falls through the ropes to Angle and he is hit with the Angle Slam quickly. Angle taunts to the crowd who cheer wildly definitely pumped up for the match at Summerslam.
Commercial Break
We return as CM Punk and The Straight Edge Society make their way down to the ring. Punk gets on the mic and says last week he had to face Kane and as he got himself disqualified due to 'his own personal reasons' and Randy Orton decided it would be a good idea to come out and attack himself and the Straight Edge Society. Punk then says Kane tried to cause pain to him by helping Randy punt him in the skull, but he failed and Kane suffered that boot to the head. Punk says he should not want revenge on him, nor the Straight Edge Society for that it was Randy Orton who punted him in the head. He says that this match tonight with Joey Mercury doesn't even have to take place, Kane can just choose not to come out here because it is Randy Orton he should be hunting down. Punk laughs a bit and moves on to Orton even further by saying that he had offered Randy peace and a part in the Straight Edge Society, change his ways but he wouldn't accept it. Punk says he feels insulted by that, and he insults the Australian crowd due to them booing him by saying that he doesn't even know what type of drugs and alcohol they put into their systems daily. He says that any of them would take the opportunity right now to join the Straight Edge Society if he offered it and they know it. Kane makes his way down to the ring as Punk and the SES look on concerned. As Kane gets in the ring, Punk asks if he will be declining this match much like he mentioned earlier. Kane laughs and takes the mic from Punk and simply says 'no'. Punk begins to question it and gets hit with an uppercut, then one to Cross. As he focuses on them, Mercury begins to attack him from behind as the bell rings.
Commercial Break
Singles Match
Joey Mercury vs Kane
We return, the match well under way as Kane is unloading with strikes in the corner to Mercury. Mercury fights back a bit but is ultimately overpowered. Kane goes for the top rope clothesline, but Mercury manages to avoid it and get a few hard shots in. He applies a sleeper hold after a minute or so, but Kane pulls him over his shoulder and slams him to the mat. He hits a big boot and a sidewalk slam before finishing off with the chokeslam and the pin.
Winner of the match: Kane [8:46] **1/2
Kane celebrates the victory as CM Punk just shakes his head on the outside and orders Cross to follow him. They make their way up the ramp and backstage, not paying any attention towards the defeat of Mercury. Kane just laughs evilly and looks down at the out cold Mercury.
We cut to the Summerslam video featuring CM Punk, R-Truth, and the Straight Edge Society.
Commercial Break
Triple Threat Match for the Women's Championship
Maryse w/April Lee vs Melina vs Beth Phoenix©
The bell sounds as the divas scramble about beating the hell out of each other. Melina and Maryse begin to double team Beth hitting some hard moves on her. After a few minutes of doing so, Melina goes for the pin and Maryse pulls her off. They continue to do this back and forth before Maryse tosses Melina out of the ring. Lee then goes to distract Beth, but as she goes to slap her she ducks and it hits Maryse, Beth hitting the Glam Slam and getting the pin.
Winner and still Women's Champion: Beth Phoenix [6:44] **1/4
Beth takes her Women's Championship in celebration. Melina looks on angry from the outside as Maryse gets aided out of the ring by Lee. She slaps Lee across the face and then gets tackled to the ground. They begin to fight in front of the announce table until the referee splits it.
We cut backstage to see Josh Mathews. He introduces his guest to be Christian. He asks him about the match at Summerslam against Edge and he says that it is Tables, Ladders, and Chairs where their team became famous together. He specifies together and goes on to say that it was them who won the tag team titles together multiple times and now Edge has changed and became this ego-thriving world champion; and he's going to kill his ego.
Commercial Break
We return to see Kelly Kelly talking with crew members. Zack Ryder walks up to her and says that it has been quite some time, but he'd like to reconcile their relationship and go to dinner right now. He goes to shout "Woo Woo Woo, You Know It" but Kelly cuts him off at the 3rd woo and says no. He asks why not and takes off his sunglasses getting closer to her. He says that she must be joking. Kelly says no and Ryder says nobody says no to him and she slaps him across the face and walks off. The Rotundo's are standing off to the side and laugh at him, Ryder asking what over and over again. He walks up to them but ends up slipping on a coffee spilled floor. The Rotundo's continue to laugh and walk off as Ryder sits angry.
We return in Abraham Washington's office. He is on the phone chatting, and with his words it sounds like a woman. In steps Big Show, and Washington says he'll call right back. He hangs up and asks Show what he is doing here. Show says he is looking to become his next WWE Champion. Washington laughs and says that sounds like a great idea, but how is he supposed to make that happen. Show says that he can put him in a title match next week, and Washington tells him he can't just throw him into a WWE Championship match - especially with contenders already in place. Show says he'll do whatever it takes and in steps Sheamus. He says he is going to make a statement at Summerslam like he said and that better change his mind of not putting him in a WWE Championship match. Show looks at him with a grin and Sheamus asks what he is smiling at. Show says he is going to be the next WWE Championship contender, and they begin to bicker about it. Washington tells them to calm down - he says after Summerslam they'll both have their chance for the WWE Championship.
Commercial Break
Non-Title Match
Randy Orton vs WWE Champion Edge
The bell rings and Orton hits a few shots to start things off before Edge hops out of the ring. Orton follows and they continue to go at it a bit and end up back in the ring. Orton fails to hit the RKO and gets pushed off to the ropes and hit with a sudden spear. Edge only gets a two count however. They put on some good back and forth action for the next few minutes until Orton hits the RKO in a reversal of the spear, but Edge ends up getting his foot on the bottom rope. CM Punk and the Straight Edge Society come rushing down to the ring and get in, but Orton unloads with strikes, not getting any back. He ends up hitting the RKO on Cross, but he gets up to a huge spear from Edge and is pinned for the 3.
Winner of the match: Edge [11:16] ***3/4
The beat down continues on until Christian comes running down to the ring. He unloads with strikes to the SES, then to Punk, and avoids a shot from Edge and hits the Unprettier. As Punk rises he is met with the RKO from Orton. The SES, Punk, and Edge roll out of the ring quickly as Christian and Orton stand tall in the ring looking out to the their rivals. They look towards each other and Christian extends his hand, Orton shaking it in approval to end the show. |

-Nice promo which could bring Sheamus back at the top with the big dogs. I'd bet Sheamus is going to be #1 Contender at the PPV after SummerSlam.
-Unusual battle to kick off the show. It looks like you'll be building the Usos before automatically bringing them to the manin event scene.
-Good matchup between Danielson and MVP. One thing I didn't like was that MVP looked like a punk here.
-Kofi Kingston over Jack Swagger is a good call either way.
-Good promo hyping the Punk/Orton matchup. A feud could happen between the two.
-Haha. Really happy you went through on the Kane push. Hope it isn't over just yet though.
-Beth Phoenix over Maryse and Melina is a good matchup. Melina going over would've been my liking but Beth going over isn't bad.
-The Abraham Washington show was decent. I wonder if it'll be Triple Threat or a #1 Contender.
-Edge over Randy via the distraction from SES is a good heel way to win the match.
-Very good SmackDown; one or two decisions weren't bad just unsure. But I'm sure it'll be great in the long run. Can't wait for SummerSlam.

-Good way to open the show with Sheamus/Edge. I can see Sheamus challenge for the WWE title soon.
-Jules over Carlito to start the show is fine. Nice win for them though
-Danielson over MVP is nice for he is the US Champion.
-Kingston over Swagger is great. Would've been nice either way.
-Nice promo with Punk/Kane. Punk/Orton feud is still great.
-Kane over Mercury is a great call.
-Phoenix retaining is good.
-Sheamus and Show wanting a title match is good. Their match would be good.
-Edge over Orton because of the interference from SES is nice. Orton/Christian standing tall is decent.
Overall, solid SD!

- Good opening promo, could definitely see that happening, very realistic.
- Uso's winning is good, hopefully they can get in the tag title race.
- Danielson winning is great, keep him as champ.
- Good promo there, Orton/Punk should be great.
- Figured Kane would win.
- Insert Diva thoughts here.
- Funny segment with Ryder, but you need to push him at least some because he doesn't need to job to Kelly Kelly.
- I figured Edge would get a cheap win due to Punk so good call there. Nice to see the faces standing tall.
- Good smackdown as usual

WWE SmackDown: Friday 6th August 2010...Good opening promo to kick off the show, nice edition with Sheamus cutting a promo about facing Edge, it basically just set us up for a possible side-storyline after SummerSlam. I like that; we never get this sort of hype anymore, it's all just sole promotion for the main event hyping up the main event. This was more based on other matters, as opposed to Christian being about to hype SummerSlam. Jimmy Uso beating Carlito is fine, as The Uso's are more youthful and more potential-filled than The Colóns. Bryan Danielson beating MVP is fine, solid match. Weird behavior by Danielson. Kane invading the Straight Edge Society's promo was good, and I like how Joey Mercury had offense against Kane, but in reality, Kane would have squashed him just like that. Beth Phoenix beating Maryse and Melina is fine, a pretty pay-per-view quality WWE Womens Championship match on display. If only it was displayed at SummerSlam. Good segment with Zack Ryder, pretty amusing if I say so. The Rotundos and Kelly Kelly? Interesting. I think of Husky Harris in a tag team and it amuses me now he's on NXT though. Good announcement with Abraham Washington and Sheamus involving Big Show too. What, you're giving away my SummerSlam main event on SmackDown? Are you insane man? Haha. Good win for Edge against Randy Orton in a strong main event. A decent show as a whole, I know you aren't that bothered on these shows going up to SummerSlam though; you're anxious to just get there.

Kane defeated Matt Cross
Kane picked up an easy victory over Cross with the chokeslam, taking out another member of the Straight Edge Society.
United States Champion Bryan Danielson and Zack Ryder defeated The Rotundo's
Kind of a comedic match with The Rotundo's embarassing Ryder most of the match. After Danielson is tagged in he beats the hell out of both Rotundo's and makes Bo tap out to the Cattle Mutilation. He doesn't celebrate with Ryder and makes his way backstage afterward.
