WWE WrestleMania XXVI: Sunday 27th March 2010...This is it! After a day of updates from you, let's see what we have to offer. First off, congratulations on reaching this point, this is definitely an achievement for a simmer. You have built WrestleMania up exceedingly well, but some flaws with The Hardys not being featured at all. Nonetheless, let's get reading. Nice graphics, but I'm not too sure about Rey Mysterio and Chavo Guerrero opening the show up; I feel that if the Money in the Bank match was to open, it would definitely set the audience off much more than this match. Either way, it would make for a good opener and definitely a strongpoint in Chavo's career. For Mysterio, though, I'd consider it a step downwards. I really am not sure about this storyline being revived after two year matches at SummerSlam 2006 and SummerSlam 2007, both with intense storylines. Anyway, great Money in the Bank match that should have opened definitely. The Miz winning was surprising, but more believable. I feel that him, Rob Van Dam, Shelton Benjamin or Sheamus would have been victorious going into it. Next, another random match between Booker T and Batista. Again, I'm not too sure about the storyline to it, but it was a nice match that would settle the audience down from the bout prior. I definitely couldn't see Bryan Danielson taking the ECW Championship from William Regal, I'm just shocked at the match quality it got. Realistic with the time, too, as I doubt ECW would have too much time. Next, great win for Edge and Christian I suppose, even though they don't need the WWE Unified Tag Team Championship. Chris Jericho and Big Show I think it's time for them to split it soon. Damn, John Morrison and CM Punk's link is broken. Great match between those two, but the lack of The Hardys once again disappoints me. If they had to get on the show somehow, this would have been the final opportunity for them. But nope, the two extremely popular Hardys are neglected from the grandaddy of them all when they could have turned a buyrate. I dislike what's happened to them. Morrison beating Punk is fine, him as World Heavyweight Champion though, will take time to see how that goes. Shawn Michaels and Triple H had an intense battle, Shawn winning was the best decision, but Triple H taking Shawn out after the bell I dislike. Shows the feud isn't over. And I'm not totally sure about this. Beth Phoenix beating Maryse is a fine filler; the Lumberjills stipulation gets divas from both brands involved. Randy Orton beating Cody Rhodes and Ted Dibiase was likely, nice defense of the WWE Championship and how glad am I that this didn't main event. Instead, the final collision course between two of the biggest stars in WWE history took centre-stage in the main event. Epic battle with The Undertaker and John Cena, both made to look credible, and Undertaker coming out on top in the end was for the best. An amazing match and an amazing show. Hopefully you can follow up with more and more in this exciting diary.
You are definitely now up there with The Undertaker (17-0) and Kevin Hart with modern day diaries. Well done.

-Interesting to have Drew McIntyre win the pre-show Battle Royal and not get an Intercontinental Title shot
-Wasn't looking forward to this match to be honest, but it was pretty well written. Good that Mysterio got the win
-I'm glad The Miz won Money in the Bank, it's different. The match was good and I like how Ezekiel and Sheamus were used in it
-Batista and Booker always managed to put on decent matches and this was no different. Glad Batista won as well
-Not a fan of the ECW Title match, it could've been so much better than it was. I'm fine with Regal retaining, but it had the potential to be so much more
-I enjoyed the Tag Team Title match a lot, and I'm really glad Edge & Christian won the belts. This match would've made more sense in real life than Edge/Jericho for the World Title
-My favorite match so far, and it was great. Not a fan of Morrison winning the belt, but it was expected to be honest. Surprised this is going on before the WWE Title
-HBK/HHH told a great story, which is just what I wanted. Glad Michaels won as well. Didn't like that Triple H stood tall at the end
-Divas match was what I expected, figured Beth would pick up the win
-Love Orton getting the eerie entrance and glad he retained. Dibiase & Rhodes looked good in the match though, which was most important
-Honestly, main event was the best match you've ever written. The entrances sounded amazing and the false finishes worked well. Excellently done
Great WrestleMania. I really enjoyed it even though there were parts I didn't.

- Mysterio winning was the right choice. Decent match.
- MITB was great. Miz winning was the right choice.
- Batista vs. Booker was as good as it could have been. Batista winning was good.
- Dissapointed in ECW match. Not the outcome itself. it was too short and unspectacular. Could have been better.
- Tag Title match was great. The E&C title win was a nice choice.
- The World Title was great. Morrison winning was good. I LOVED this match.
- Michaels vs. HHH was good. A match that was a good payoff.
- Divas match was meh. All it could have been.
- Good Orton retained. Made him look really good.
- Main Evant was AMAZING! Worthy of WM ME, and almost as good as Michaels vs. taker from WM XXV.
Great Wretlemania and your best show yet. I can't wait for this to continue.

well apparently since this diary is the hubbub lately, I'll give you a reply to Wrestlemania!
Seemed like a decent enough opener for 'Mania. Nice touch with the opening paragraph about the musical act, but I feel a package or something would have been given for the match. No biggie though. Interesting and packed MITB. I think you gave it to the correct guy also as the MITB can do wonders and this is the right push Miz would need. A pretty dark moment for Wrestlemania there, I am surprised Batista gets both the win and THEN the beatdown as well. I would preferred a Booker win then a Batista beatdown. Ah, you should have the Rock return at some point. That would get me to read this diary. I am SHOCKED that Danielson lost here. It would make sense for the face to win or if the heels going to win, its got to be clean. I don't really like that. A different choice to put the belts on Edge/Christian, but I can deal with that. Honestly, I don't buy Morrison as a World Champion. I don't think he has the 'it' factor, but I hope you do a good job building him up well. I love Michaels over Triple H and the aftermath of the match is awesome. Triple H expecting the superkick so he delivers a Pedigree. Good touch there. Filler divas match; every maina has them right? I am extremely happy you didn't give the belt to either Rhodes or Dibiase. Neither man is ready; good one there. Like the touch of Cena/Taker being the main event, but I don't know about a half hour match again for Taker. Nonetheless, love Cena coming close and Taker just beating him.
Overall, not awesome, but I enjoyed it. Some things to work on here and there, but you definitely have a new reader.

- Dislike the use of McIntyre. He definitely deserves to be on the show over some guys that are featured.
- Mysterio is the obvious winner here, however, I wouldn't have been opposed to Chavo picking up the shock win. He should be doing a lot more in the WWE. Also, I'm really puzzled as to why you rehashed this feud for the 847428112881 time. Wastes a perfectly good slot on the WrestleMania card, if you ask me.
- Have a serious disliking for Kidd and Ryder being in MITB. They seriously don't fit in my opinion. Also, not sure why they're in there but there tag team partners aren't. Seems like the roles could be given to somebody else here. Miz winning is fine, maybe a bit too early for him to be challenging for the WWE Title.
- Again, not sure why Batista/Booker is happening all over again, especially involving WrestleMania. Glad Batista won though. He will benefit more from the victory.
- I feel it's too early for Danielson to be challenging for World Titles, especially at WrestleMania. Glad Regal won. He really should have held the ECW Title in real-life. It suits him perfectly.
- Loved the Tag Team Title match. An E+C reunion is brilliant and I would love to see this happen for real. Really interested to see where the new champions are heading now.
- Don't know how to feel about Morrison as champion. In my opinion, he is nowhere near a credible main event candidate for WrestleMania. I believe Punk should have gone over here, and then Morrison possibly in a rematch.
- Great match between Triple H and Shawn, however, it's just another rehashed feud which, sadly, makes this event seem less special. Michaels winning is great though, and the aftermath was a nice little ending to the segment.
- Beth is the obvious winner, in terms of size and power. I thionk the finish worked really well here.
- Glad you had Orton go over. There's no way DiBiase or Rhodes should be anywhere near the WWE Title.
- Very happy we get Cena/Undertaker last, as it's easily the biggest match on the card. The match was very well written, the finish to the match was great. However, I feel the ending to the show was pretty lackluster.
I just didn't enjoy this event too much, it didn't really feature anything special other than the main event and E+C reunion.

WrestleMania Reception
WrestleMania XXVI is getting a good feel from Vince McMahon and the rest of the backstage representatives.
Post-Mania Releases
WWE has released Maria, Caylen Croft, Tyler Reks, Nikki Bella, and Brie Bella. Along with this, Jamie Noble is being dropped from the main roster and will be a trainer in FCW.
Reasons Behind 'Mania Decisions
Many were expecting Ted DiBiase to win the WWE Championship after getting the victory in the Royal Rumble match, but the final decisions being made on the day of WrestleMania were decided to have Orton retain, but expect DiBiase and Rhodes to remain upper mid card, and possibly a future World Title reign. Miz winning the Money in the Bank Ladder Match was also chosen due to his recent uprise and tremendous heat he receives from the crowd, and the WWE really wanted to get him involved in the main event scene so expect him to be getting into some big feuds to promote him up more before cashing in. The Undertaker winning against John Cena was highly expected due to the streak, and now Taker can be expected to take time off. Meanwhile, it is uncertain whether or not Cena will be returning to be face or stay heel, but he will be staying on the upper card still. John Morrison winning the World Heavyweight Title was a toss up, as many thought he wasn't ready. However, creative supposedly has a lot of plans with him as the champion. With the recent signing of Matt Cross, and Joey Mercury trudging along, they will most likely join Punk after the Extreme Rules Pay-Per-View for the 'Straight Edge Society'. As for Triple H hitting the Pedigree on Michaels after their match, it signafies that they will still be going on until Extreme Rules where they will have a special stipulation match to settle everything. Also expect the feuds of Batista/Booker and Rey/Chavo to be ended and Drew McIntyre to be pushed after his battle royal win.[/font] |

- Decent match with Rey/Chavo to open the show. Rather obvious that Rey would go over.
- Good MITB match and I am really happy to see Miz winning and getting a title shot. Thumbs up on that one.
- Average Batista/Booker match, really at best. Again, obvious to me that Batista would go over.
- I was rather surprised to see Regal retain the belt, but that is a good thing.
- Not a fan of the tag team title match. Neither one of those two teams need the titles to begin with and now you are just going to be wasting Edge and Christian (who shouldn’t be teaming anyways)
- No doubt in my mind that Morrison was winning the belt here. I don’t think he is ready to be at that point in the card, but it is new and I’ll see how it plays out.
- Solid HBK/HHH with HBK going over, it is fine.
- Would have liked to see Maryse go over.
- Orton going over is the right decision.
- Nice main event with is being again obvious that Taker was going to retain his undefeated spot.
Overall, some good things, some rather obvious things and some things I didn’t agree with at all. A fine show, really.

WM
-It's here, It's here!
-Good to see Drew win the battle royal, but would have had him in M.I.T.B. instead of Zeke
-Good opener with Rey vs. Chavo, good for Rey to win as it opens up mania in a good way. Don't continue this feud as it's over done.
-AWESOME, that Miz won. he really could use that to elevate him into Main Event status
-loved the Domino effect
-Miz winning with the chair gives him nice heat.
-Batista wining is fine, but I don't like the post match attack. a little dark for Mania
-Classic Rock
-Shocked to see Regal retain. Would have been nice to see Bryan win, but at least he gave a good match. A bit short though
-Nice to see you write out the promos
-yes, Edge and Christian are champs!
-Good moment for Mania, I loved how Jericho laughed, but it cost him in the end.
-Nice post match stuff
-Always like live stuff
-Might be a little soon for Morrison, but great Mania moment anyway
-Epic match. Mixed reactions to HBK winning. Great aftermath any way.
-filler match
-Good to see Orton keep the strap, too soon for Legacy
-Love him laughing and smirking at the end
-Love Cena being Undertaker, and Taker's entrance as well
-No surprise at Taker winning, but Epicly epic match anyway. Glad that he didn't tap.
-30 min is a bit long, but good for the main event
-Your best show yet, I think this could really elevate you, I hope my Mania could do that for me
-Great Job

WrestleMania, Chavo Guerrero versus Rey Mysterio was a pretty lackluster opener in my opinion, can't say it would get me hyped for WrestleMania. I'm glad Mysterio picks up the win though, I didn't see Chavo winning. I was shocked to see The Miz win the MITB match, but pleased. However, I really can't imagine him as a World Champion right now. Hopefully you build him a bit more while he holds the briefcase. Very happy that Batista defeated Booker T, not too fond of the feud, but the decision was right. I am so pleased that you kept the ECW Championship on William Regal. I feel it was way too early for Danielson to even get a shot, let alone have the title, so that was the right decision. I'm happy to see Edge and Christian take the win here on their reunion Title match. Good decision to have the World Heavyweight Championship match this early on, but I'm not too sure on Morrison taking the hold, I don't think he's entirely ready. But obviously you have plans, so I'll not judge. Glad that Shawn Michaels beats Triple H here, I also like the Pedigree afterwards as it says that the feud will continue. I hope that if there is a rematch at Extreme Rules, Triple H wins. Beth Phoenix was the right choice of winner, the better diva if you ask me. As predicted, Randy Orton retains the title, as it should be. Great decision to have Undertaker and John Cena Main Event the show, clearly the biggest match on the card. I'm also glad that The Undertaker was able to keep his Streak, without making Cena tap.
Overall, a good WrestleMania, but I'm hoping to see some different feuds now, aside from the odd few that should continue.

Raw: March 29, 2010
US Airways Center: Phoenix, AZ
Footage from WrestleMania 26 is shown. First it shows John Cena losing to The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels defeating Triple H, then The Miz winning Money in the Bank, and lastly Randy Orton retaining the WWE Championship against Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes.
The pyros go off as we are starting yet another road to WrestleMania, with 370 days until the next one. WWE Champion Randy Orton makes his way down to the ring to open up the show. He gets on the mic and says last night he proved to Ted and Cody that they cannot compare to his level until the day he retires, like he has said so many times to them before. He says WrestleMania 26 was just another stepping stone, not a huge deal for him and now he stands before everybody as the WWE Champion still. The majority of the crowd boos, and the old music of John Cena makes its return, to somes dissaproval. He gets on the mic and says that he wants to get straight to the point - he may not of beat The Undertaker last night but he never tapped out to the Hell's Gate and he wasn't pinned and he fought literally until the last breath. He says he wants a shot at the WWE Championship tonight. The Miz makes his way down to the ring and he gets on the mic himself. He says that unlike John Cena he just so happened to win - defeating 7 other men. He says that even he could beat The Undertaker. Orton watches them as Miz continues by saying that either way he has the oppurtunity to cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase at any time he wants and recommends Cena backs off unless he wants to get his ass kicked. General Manager Teddy Long makes his way out to the ramp. He speaks into his mic and says first off he wants to congratulate Randy on retaining the WWE Title last night. He does also congratulate The Miz, and then John Cena for his valiant effort. He says that tonight, Cena and Miz will be going one-on-one! Miz looks concerned about it, and Teddy tells John he does already have plans for the WWE Title. He announces that Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes will face off tonight, and the winner will go onto Extreme Rules to face Randy Orton for the WWE Championship - in a steel cage match. Cena laughs at Orton who is furious, and Miz looks at his Money in the Bank briefcase and smirks at him as well.
Commercial Break
Big Show vs Mark Henry w/MVP
Show comes out seeming angry by his loss the night before. The bell rings and he quickly begins to strike at Henry over and over again. He goes to pick him up, but Henry stays down and then tries to same, but can't. They end up getting into a back and forth fight with each other, and eventually Show hits a quick big boot and drops Henry to the mat. Show then continues delivering tons of strikes down, and Henry gets back to his feet slowly. Show continues reigning down with blows all over, and goes for a clothesline, but Henry moves out of the way and begins to strike back to him. Show quickly turns to him and boots him in the face, and Henry stumbles. Show follows up by swinging a fist to knock Henry out, but he ducks under it and continues to deliver some strikes, and he tries to lift him once more. For the next couple minutes they each try and drop each other with slams and get into a brawl. Henry is grabbed by the throat and hit with a huge chokeslam and Show pins him for the 3.
Winner of the match: Big Show (7:47) **
Following the match, MVP gets in the ring to check on Henry and Show grabs him by the throat and headbutts him. He pulls him up in the corner and yanks him up and repeatedly punches him in the stomach. He tosses MVP to the side as Henry gets up and he hits him with the Knockout Punch. As MVP gets back up, Show drops him with a chokeslam and steps out of the ring in anger.
Commercial Break
We return to see Jack Swagger walking in backstage to Teddy Long's office. He tells him he was left out of WrestleMania last night and he is sick of being treated like crap ever since he came to Raw. He goes on saying that in December he was facing John Cena for the WWE Championship, and now he isn't even at Pay-Per-Views. Teddy says he is right, and tells him to make a statement and maybe he'll do something to impress him. Swagger says he has an idea and walks out.
Non-Title Match
United States Champion Kofi Kingston vs Vance Archer
After both men get down to the ring, Archer quickly pounces onto Kofi in the corner delivering tons of strikes. However, Kingston begins to deliver some forearms back and hops onto the top rope and jumps off with a dropkick. He continues off this delivering tons of kicks and strikes as Archer remains on his feet, and Archer begins to strike down on the downed U.S. Champion. Archer yanks Kofi up by his hair and delivers a bunch of slams for the next minute or so and Kofi eventually fights back and delivers a jumping clothesline to take him down. With that he hits the Boom Drop and then as Archer gets to his feet, delivers the Trouble in Paradise for the pinfall.
Winner of the match: Kofi Kingston (6:46) **
After the match, Kingston celebrates his victory over Archer and raises his US Title to the crowd. However, as he is taunting Jack Swagger comes into the ring from behind motioning for the title. Kofi turns around and is hit with the Gut Wrench Powerbomb. Swagger lifts the US Championship with a smirk, and lays it over the downed champ.
Commercial Break
The Miz vs John Cena
Both men come to the ring, Miz taunting his Money in the Bank Briefcase. The bell rings and Cena quickly begins to dominate over Miz. He is fired up quickly after knocking him down multiple times, and yanks Miz up only to be shot back at. Miz delivers a variation of punches and drops Cena with a DDT after. They trade momentum for the next couple minutes, and Cena quickly begins to dominate him. Miz slips out of the ring and as Cena follows he takes a cheap shot with a kick to the gut and throws Cena into the steel steps. Cena gets back in and Miz follows, getitng a near fall. He doesn't get it and Cena rises to his feet only to start to get struck down at in the corner, Miz then hits a hard clothesline and taunts to the crowd in between the ropes. Cena rises back up and stands behind Miz anticipating him, and lifts him for the Attitude Adjustment. However, Miz manages to drop down to his feet and strikes Cena in the back of the head. As he continues to deliver blow after blow, he is pushed back and knocked into the referee. Cena then begins to take control as he delivers a few shoulder blocks and a 5 Knuckle Shuffle, and sets up for the Attitude Adjustment. However, Miz slips out of the ring. Cena follows, but Miz grabs his Money in the Bank Briefcase and clocks Cena over the head with it. He puts the case back and gets into the ring. The referee is back up and begins to count Cena out, and does.
Winner via count-out: The Miz (10:09) ***
Miz taunts his victory and mocks Cena, demanding his briefcase. However, Cena knocks the timekeeper down and takes the case. He gets into the ring and backs Miz down before shoving it into his chest. He starts to walk away but Miz continues to talk crap. Cena turns right to him and kicks him, making him drop the case, and delivers the Attitude Adjustment in the middle of the ring.
Commercial Break
Triple H makes his way down to the ring with a huge pop from the crowd as we return. He gets on the mic and says that last night he faced Shawn Michaels and came up short in what was yet another great battle in their rivalries over the years. He says that when they originally had all this happen, he turned on Shawn. But things passed by and when D-Generation X was reformed, they were better then ever. He says though now it was Shawn who turned on him. He goes on and explains that after the match, Shawn wanted to shake his hand, but he knew better then that and when he knew that Sweet Chin Music was coming, he wouldn't let it go through him. He pedigreed Michaels and it felt good, and invites Shawn out. The Heart Break Kid does make his way down towards the ring and asks Hunter what the hell he wants. He continues on saying that Shawn has changed and he doesn't like it. He wants this all to come to an end and he wants to make sure of it. Michaels asks him what he is going on about, and Hunter says he wants a match at Extreme Rules. The crowd pops to it and Shawn just stares. He says he wants more then a singles match - he wants to make sure it ends and nothing happens after it's all over. He wants a Last Man Standing Match. Michaels glares at him unsure, and he thinks for a moment. He quickly goes for Sweet Chin Music, but Hunter ducks it and begins to strike at him rapidly, and eventually HBK scurries out of the ring and backs up the ramp, and Teddy Long steps out behind him. He says the match sounds like a great idea, and tells them it's going to happen. Michaels looks in dissaproval as Hunter smirks.
Commercial Break
We return and see Josh Mathews backstage, he introduces his guest at this time to be Randy Orton. He asks Randy what he thinks of having to go to Extreme Rules in a Steel Cage Match against one of his former proteges. He says that last night was easy enough for him defeating both of them, and now he has to face just one inside a Steel Cage no less. He says that he at first was a little skeptical about it, but realizes the oppurtunity to bash one of their skulls inside it. He laughs a bit and says that no matter what, he'll still be the WWE Champion after Extreme Rules.
Non-Title Match
Diva's Champion Maryse vs Serena Mancini
Both diva's come down and the bell rings. Mancini quickly takes control as we are reminded of Maryse's loss last night. Things go back and forth between them, and eventually Maryse gets the upper hand after slapping her across the face and following it up with a bunch of pounds to the back. She taunts a bit and Serena pushes her off only to catch her with a huge slam and then punches. Things go back and forth for a couple minutes, both diva's showing some good moves on the other, especially Maryse as she throws Serena into the corner turnbuckle. Things quickly begin to sway to Serena as she begins to send kicks back to the champ, hitting her on multiple occasions. Maryse goes for a clothesline, but Serena ducks it and delivers a huge powerslam in the middle of the ring on the turn and pins the champ.
Winner of the match: Serena Mancini (7:14) **1/2
After the match, Serena taunts to the crowd and motions for the Diva's Championship. However, Maryse begins to rise to her feet again and walks up behind her, and delivers the French Kiss DDT before taking her title and taunting over her to the crowd.
Commercial Break
We return to see Teddy Long in his office. In steps Big Show and he tells Teddy what he did earlier tonight was just an example of what he can do to the rest of the entire roster. Teddy asks him if that's so, and he repeats himself. Teddy then says if that is so, Big Show should face a handful of the roster on his own next week. Show asks him what he means by a handful, and Teddy tells him he faces off against 5 or so superstars in a gauntlet match. Show says he wants something out of it if he wins, and Teddy says he wins that and he'll grant it.
We then go to the locker room of Ted DiBiase, and in comes his father to a good pop. He tells his son he came up short last night, but everybody has their bad days. Ted looks at him and says that he almost had it won last night, he had Cody beat but Randy snuck up behind him. The Million Dollar Man tells him back he shouldn't of trusted either one of them all along and he wouldn't of had to worry. He says that it won't be a problem, as he is sure he'll win next and then at Extreme Rules. He steps out, leaving Ted with more confidence.
Commercial Break
#1 Contenders Match to the WWE Championship
Cody Rhodes vs Ted DiBiase
Both men make their way down, and the bell rings. DiBiase controls early on, and delivers some quick hard moves to take Rhodes down. After a few moves to start things off, Rhodes gets back in delivering some shots back of his own and tops it with a dropkick. Momentum sways to him now, as he pounds down on his former partner in the corner, only to be pushed away. DiBiase then walks over to him and kicks him in the gut before delivering a hard DDT. He gets a near fall off it, and continues to keep control on the mat afterward. Rhodes starts to make his way to his feet, only to be hit with a few more shots and DiBiase begins to pick things up with a rapid fire of blows. Rhodes goes for a clothesline, but DiBiase ducks it and delivers a hard clothesline. He pulls Rhodes back up and goes for Dream Street, but Rhodes manages to get his way out of it and throws DiBiase shoulder first into the steel post.
Commercial Break
As we return, Rhodes is still in control as he delivers a series of blows in the corner. He taunts a bit, and continues. He even delivers a series of suplexes and neckbreakers, and gets a couple near falls. DiBiase starts to fight back soon though, and drops Rhodes with a few clotheslines and then a huge back body drop after he pops up on the 3rd. He continues to unleash with some hard moves and is getting fired up. Rhodes rakes the eyes and delivers a huge Cross Rhodes out of nowhere and goes for the pin, but DiBiase surprisingly kicks out. Rhodes then begins to pound down on him before pulling him to his feet and setting up for Cross Rhodes again, but DiBiase manages to pull himself free and ducks another shot and drops Rhodes with the Dream Street and pins him for the victory.
Winner of the match: Ted DiBiase (13:49) ***1/2
Following the match, DiBiase celebrates his victory. Rhodes eventually gets back up and knocks DiBiase down. He stomps him down in the middle of the ring and then picks him up and hits Cross Rhodes once more, before rolling out and walking backstage. As DiBiase is rolling around, Randy Orton begins to slowly make his way down to the ring. He gets in and walks around DiBiase as he is getting on his hands and knees, and pushes him to the mat with his boot. He taunts over him, before yanking him up from the apron and dropping him with the rope hung DDT. He lurks around sickingly, and once DiBiase gets to his feet he is dropped with the RKO. Orton slithers around the ring slowly before dropping on his fists and looks at the fallen DiBiase. He takes his WWE Title and gets back up taunting it, still staring at DiBiase to end Raw.[/font] |

RAW: Nice opening promo, Miz vs Cena sounds good. Steel Cage? DAMN YOU ML I have planned to use that in my next diary, lol. Glad Show beat Henery, Henry didn't need that victory. Wow, some violent post-match activities from Show, I wonder what this is leading too. Glad your pushing Archer but not too much. A nice win there for Kingston, stating why he is champion. Nice run-in from Swagger there after his promo, I hope to see Swagger as US Champion sooner or later. Brilliant win for the Miz which was very necassary to put him over, I can see Cena vs Miz at Extreme Rules, maybe for the breifcase. Nice tocuh with Cena getting his heat back. I liked the Hunter/Michaels promo, it worked well and The Last Man Standing match sounds good. Huge win for Serena over the divas champion there, I don't care much for the divas division but Serena is an execellent wrestler. Big Show in a guantlet? I can see him winning or losing the last one to light a feud. Wow, Ted and Ted Sr. together, I can now sense a DiBiase victory, curtoesy or the M$M maybe? Oh, no hlp from his dad there but Ted sure one it, good result. Nice aftermath of the match. I'd also like to note that it's great to see DiBiase and Rhodes main eventing. Good show, keep it up.

The Miz Update
Miz winning Money in the Bank was one of the early decisions made by WWE creative, as they really want him to be catapulted to the top with the way he gets over with his heel attitude with the crowd and the eruption of boos he gets constantly. Expect him to not cash in early, but not too late, and have some short feuds leading up to it to show himself before cashing in.
Huge Name Leaving WWE Yet Again
Jeff Hardy signed back with WWE back in October, and it was given 6 months until he was eligible to make the choice to leave - explaining why he was not taking a part in WrestleMania. Himself and the WWE have once again parted ways, and Hardy will be focusing more on his recent drug bust and his court appearances. Expect Matt to be finding something new to do soon.
Undertaker Update
The Undertaker will in fact once again be taking time off as he did after WrestleMania 25. He is expected to come back a lot sooner then he did previously, however.
WWE Draft 2010
On April 26, the night after Extreme Rules, WWE will officially be holding it's annual WWE draft in a 3 hour special episode of Raw. As previously reported, expect some big names to be moved around.[/font] |

Raw, great opener, Miz/Cena should be good, as should DiBiase/Rhodes. I'm glad Big Show gets the victory here, and making him look dominant by destroying Henry and MVP is great. I'm glad Kingston went over here, he's better than Archer. I saw the Swagger interference coming, and I see Swagger holding the title pretty soon. A countout victory is great for The Miz and it's much better than a pinfall victory. So Cena is still heel then? A rematch between Triple H and Shawn Michaels sounds great, and the Last Man Standing match is something they have epic battles in. Serena getting a non-title victory over the Divas Champion is great, I hope she gets a title shot soon. I was hoping for Rhodes to pick up the victory here, I feel he needs the push, but DiBiase winning is alright. I like that Orton stands tall to close the show. Good Raw.

A big opening promo there, like the Extreme Rules announcement and the main event!
Show over Henry is a good choice. The aftermath makes him look like a beast.
Swagger complaining is pretty good. Hopefully he backs it all up.
Archer JOBBIN' to Kofi is great for me.
Love Swagger making an impact
Miz getting a cheap heel victory is great, builds him as a threat, and helps to re-asert Cena as a face.
The aftermath is questionable.. Cena bullying a timekeeper?
DX in another last man standing match? epicness.
Orton promo was nice, caught his character.
Serena is on a serious roll, hopefully she takes the Butterfly Belt soon
Big Show in a gauntlet sounds awesome. I see Bourne and Kidman jobbing though. =(
MDM pep talk was nice. I see him helping Ted later tonight.
Ted winning was expected, and the aftermath built Orton v Ted further
Good show man, ER should be a great show!

ECW: March 30, 2010 Preview
Extreme Rules Approaches
Bryan Danielson will receive another chance to get a shot at the ECW Championship against William Regal at Extreme Rules - but as does Tommy Dreamer, who has been close with Danielson as of late. With the loss against Danielson just two weeks ago, will Dreamer seek revenge against the uprising Danielson?
Ezekiel Jackson Speaks
As General Manager Abraham Washington has been treating Ezekiel Jackson as if he was nothing lately, Jackson will be around to speak his mind.
'Haas of Pain' In Action Again
Charlie Haas made his return to ECW just a week ago, appearing with a new look as he made a statement against Yoshi Tatsu. This week, he steps up to a higher level, as he goes one-on-one with the Moscow Mauler, Vladimir Kozlov. |

One question I have to ask is if The Legacy are still together in your diary? Because since DiBiase and Rhodes have left the group, that leaves Orton, MVP, and Mark Henry as the only 3 members left in Legacy, or is The Legacy over, did they all go their separate ways?
I'm just curious
But anyway, I am looking so forward to, no I am so excited waiting in anticipation for your WWE Draft which is in 3 weeks right after Extreme Rules, can we expect main eventers to get drafted to either RAW, SmackDown, or ECW?
