I'm glad you went with Ziggler to win the Battle Royal as i was really expecting Rob Van Dam to win so it was a nice shock. The draft really shook things up, i love Orton on Smackdown and i hope he can make it his show. I could see Morrison losing the title soon though, as i'm not sure about him being Champion for a long time on Raw and i'm not a fan of his. An entertaining read as always.

ECW, great opening, and obviously, Paul Heyman didn't kill off his creation. Good opening match, and I'm glad Benjamin got the victory and the respect is still there. I was expecting the Haas interference and I hope their feud culminates in some sort of Extreme Rules match. Isn't Eli Cottonwood an FCW superstar, not a local? Anyway, pleased to see Knox with a victory. Good Dreamer promo to go into the match. Huge Main Event, and I was shocked, but pleased to see Dolph Ziggler come out with the victory. Obviously, an ECW Championship match is great for Ziggler, but I really hope he doesn't win, Dreamer should have a decent run with the belt. But a decent ECW show as usual.

l April 30, 2010 l Giant Center: Hershey, PA l
The pyros go off as we are welcomed to Smackdown by Jim Ross and Matt Striker. They tell us that the draft gives the brand some new talent; cue WWE Champion Randy Orton makes his way down to the ring to a mixed reaction. He speaks to the crowd and introduces himself and says that this is his new home and everybody needs to get used to seeing him shine every week. He then goes on to say that this past Sunday something clicked; he says he saw Cody Rhodes costing Ted DiBiase his opportunity to take away his WWE Title in an attempt to help him. He laughs a bit and says that it reminds him of his days in Evolution, and he realized that what Cody did - and what he did in the past - was simply idiotic. He says that he has been doing some thinking and that with a new brand comes a new start, and that the WWE Championship will remain over his shoulder as long as he keeps himself this way. The crowd pops, and as he begins to exit CM Punk makes his way out. He gets into the ring and tells Randy first off that just because he gets drafted over here he isn't running things. He reminds him that he is the reason he is over on Smackdown now, and he beat Triple H to do it - something he couldn't do. The crowd boos him for that and Orton asks him if he wants to shut his mouth or get kicked in the skull right now. Punk snickers and says he knows people like Randy - became cool back in high school by smoking to fit in behind the coach's back - but in Randy's case he was found by the WWE and hired and he became this popular fluke just like back in the day. Orton tells Punk that nobody cares what he has to say, and tells him he doesn't need to come up with theories to get him to fight and offers to put the WWE Title on the line against him tonight. GM Abraham Washington steps out to the ramp and speaks up. He says that he has watched these two on Raw and Smackdown for a long time now, and this is a match he has wanted to see; he announces that tonight it will be CM Punk vs Randy Orton; but it won't be for the WWE Championship. He says that if Punk wins, however, he will get a shot at the title at Over The Limit.
Commercial Break
Singles Match Kofi Kingston vs Zack Ryder
The bell rings for these two new Smackdown stars to face off. After locking up and Kingston getting the upper hand with tons of shots. Ryder falls behind as he is dominated for the opening minutes, but he manages to start getting some moves in after a leg lariat. He goes at it for a couple minutes before Kingston starts to strike back again, getting fired up. Some hard take downs and a Boom Drop tops that off. Kingston sets up for the Trouble in Paradise, but Ryder ducks the kick and quickly rolls him up with a hold on the tights and places his feet on the ropes and steals a victory.
Winner of the match: Zack Ryder [8:56] ***
Ryder celebrates his victory, taunting to the crowd as they boo him. Kingston looks on from his knees in disappointment well Ryder shouts his signature "Woo Woo Woo, You Know It" to the Smackdown crowd on the ramp, as he has made a statement on the brand already.
Commercial Break
Singles Match Bryan Danielson vs Chris Jericho
The bell rings as Jericho stares down the uprising star formerly from ECW. They lock up, Danielson surprising Jericho by knocking him to the mat and applying various holds. As they get back to their feet they go back and forth for a couple minutes, each getting some good drops and holds in. Jericho fails to connect on the Codebreaker and Danielson takes advantage off it and applies the Walls of Jericho on him to cheers. After Jericho gets out of it, he takes control in the next few minutes. As Danielson mounts a comeback, he fails to hit a top rope clothesline and turns into a Codebreaker and is pinned for the 3.
Winner of the match: Chris Jericho [10:32] ***1/2
Jericho taunts his victory before taking a mic. He speaks to the crowd, calling them all idiots for not realizing that he is the true 'big show'. He says that the fat pathetic excuse he had as a partner decided to go down that route by signaling the end of their great team at Extreme Rules. He says that he doesn't need him anyway, he can do better without the assistance of Big Show. Show then makes his way down to the ring and stands over Jericho, who quickly backs up and out of the ring. Show motions him to come back, but he doesn't and storms up the ramp talking at Show, who has a grin on his face for scaring him off.
Commercial Break
We return and Batista steps out with a crutch, his foot wrapped up. He eventually gets to the ring and gets on the mic. He tells the crowd to shut up as some laugh. He says that Kane burning his foot in 600 degrees just proves he is even further disturbed. He says that just because he won't be able to walk for another month doesn't mean he isn't going to come back with more authority and destroy anybody who gets in the way of The Animal. Montel Vontavious Porter makes his way down to the ring with a grin on his face and asks Batista if he really thinks he is capable of being the top dog on Smackdown now that he is here. He goes on after no response saying that life for him is going to be great here, especially now that he has the opportunity to beat Dave Batista. He grins as Batista fires back asking him who the hell he thinks he is, thinking he can beat him. MVP says he knows he can now with that crutch, but it'd be a lot easier without it. A loud "ohh" from the crowd to the diss, and Batista tells him not to get to high and mighty about himself, because if he wasn't on one foot he'd drive him straight through the ring. MVP tells him once he heals, he can come find him. He steps out of the ring and starts to walk away, but turns back and says that well he is resting, take good notice of Smackdown's true Animal. He makes his way backstage, leaving Batista in anger.
Commercial Break
Non-Title Singles Match Rey Mysterio vs United States Champion Jack Swagger
The bell rings and Swagger gets the early upper hand as he takes things to the mat. Mysterio struggles under the weight, but after a couple minutes he picks up some momentum against the US Champ. Mysterio hits lots of fast paced kicks and a hurricanrana to the outside even, and plaunchas to take things out. A few more minutes go by with back and forth action, and Mysterio manages to hit the 619, but as he goes for the springboard seated senton, Swagger manages to keep hold of him and get him over his shoulder and hits the Gut Wrench Powerbomb with authority, and gets the pin.
Winner of the match: Jack Swagger [9:16] ***
Swagger taunts his victory, raising the US Title high. However, he turns around to Sheamus - who lays him out with the Bicycle Kick. He then took the man he beat on Raw, Rey Mysterio, and delivers the Celtic Cross. He stands tall over both men, and raises the United States Championship as if it was his.
Commercial Break
We return and see Josh Mathews backstage. He introduces his guest to be Sheamus. He asks why he just did that, and Sheamus snags the mic away and says that what he did was just to show that the Celtic Warrior is here in the WWE for business, not to be jammed in the middle of irrelevance with Hornswoggle like he was over on Raw. He says that he wants the United States Title, and he won't stop his reign on the Smackdown roster until he claims it.
Singles Match Vance Archer vs Unified Tag Team Champion Christian w/Edge
The bell sounds and both men start to strike at each other back and forth. Archer gets a bit of the upper hand for the opening minute tossing Christian around, but is eventually met with a dropkick and tons of shots. Christian gets a lot of momentum and is fired up, and for the next few minutes gets some near falls following lots of take downs. Archer manages to hit a big boot and take some control, but after taking to much time for a chokeslam, Christian pulls down to the mat and ducks a shot to hit the Killswitch and get the pin.
Winner of the match: Christian [7:48] **
Edge and Christian celebrate their victory as Edge gets on the mic and says that they talked to Teddy Long, Paul Heyman, and Abraham Washington and next week they will find out their next challengers. Christian continues and says, in movie voiceover tone, The Hart Dynasty, Evan Bourne and Billy Kidman, and The Uso's will be facing on Raw for #1 contendership, with the winners facing them at Over The Limit. They high five, and Edge compliments his voiceover.
Commercial Break
Women's Champion Beth Phoenix comes down to ringside as we return and sits at the commentators table, being welcomed by Striker and Ross. She thanks them and says with fresh meat on Smackdown, she is prepared to see who will be gunning for the gold.
Singles Match Kelly Kelly vs Maryse
The bell rings and both divas strike back and forth. After a little while, Kelly surprisingly gets advantage with lots of shots for a minute, but is laid out by Maryse with a clothesline. Kelly is beat down ferociously, and Maryse just dominates her for a couple minutes as she has more power and experience in amount of matches. Kelly tries to comeback with some more shots, but Maryse eventually ends it with the French Kiss DDT and gets the pin.
Winner of the match: Maryse [6:25] **
Maryse does her signature taunt along the ropes as Beth looks on at who she previously defeated back at WrestleMania. As Maryse talks smack at her, Beth seems offended by it and removes her headset and steps into the ring. They get face to face, and Maryse lightly pushes her with disgust, and Beth shoves her right down to the mat, and Maryse quickly rolls out of the ring.
Commercial Break
We return in Abraham Washington's office as he is seated with The Uso's. He tells them that when they go on Raw this Monday, he is pulling for them to snag that victory and take the Unified Tag Team Titles away from the jokes known as Edge and Christian. As he says that, they come in. Edge pretends to cry well Christian pats him on the back saying it's okay, Jimmy and Jules are just kiss asses to the General Manager. They get up and E&C snap into seriousness as they get face to face. Jimmy tells them they need to shut their mouths and put up their fists because at Over The Limit they will be on the other side of the ring. Jules then adds they will also be taking those Tag Team Titles away. Edge tells them they need to open their mouths and stop kissing the GM's ass. They step out with a grin as The Uso's look angry.
We then cut to CM Punk in his locker room. He picks up his phone and dials a number and gets into a short conversation and asks if 'they are ready', and then if 'they know the plan'. He nods and says he'll see them later, and hangs up and laces up his boots. He mumbles that it's show time, and walks off.
Commercial Break
Non-Title Singles Match If Punk Wins, He Gets a Title Shot at Over The Limit CM Punk vs WWE Champion Randy Orton
The bell rings and Punk gets early control as he backs Orton to the corner. They start to strike back and forth for a minute before Orton lays Punk out with a clothesline and mounts him with blows. The Viper gets the upper hand with some uppercuts and other rough shots, and sends Punk out of the ring with a dropkick. They battle a bit on the outside but get back in the ring, Punk delivering the running knee in the corner after a few minutes, and the bulldog tops it off. However, he fails to get the 3 count. He then sets up for the GTS, but Orton manages to slip off and goes for the RKO, but Punk pushes him off and quickly steps out of the ring.
Commercial Break
We return with Punk in control on the mat, and Orton struggling. They eventually get back up and Orton pushes him off to the ropes and hits the sidewalk slam. He continues his control the next couple minutes with a few dropkicks and corner shots, and tops it with the hung rope DDT and gets a near fall. On the rise, they go back and forth again, but as Orton misses a clothesline after a little while, Punk hits the GTS but fails to get the 3 on the pin attempt. He then rolls Orton out of the ring and motions his hand. This brings down two men, Joey Mercury and Matt Cross, and they stay at the front of the ring. At the count of 6, Orton gets back up and notices them. He quickly starts to strike at them as they are careful not to fire back to keep Punk from getting disqualified. Orton gets caught up in beating the hell out of them and is counted out.
Winner via count-out: CM Punk [15:35] ****
Punk celebrates his victory as Orton slowly cocks his head towards the ring and steps into it. He begins to back Punk up to the ropes, but is ambushed by Cross and Mercury as they start to beat him down. They hold him on his knees as Punk slaps him around a bit. They drag him up and Punk hits the GTS. He demands the WWE Title from the time keeper, and gets it raising it high with Cross and Mercury on a knee each on his sides to end Smackdown. [/font]

- Love Smackdown man, perfect man, as Orton vs. Punk for the WWE Title at Over The Limit is sick, I want Orton to retain at Over The Limit as I love my boy as WWE Champion because I really want to see Orton feud with The Undertaker over the WWE Championship, since Taker and Orton are now on the same show
- I am really pulling for Bourne & Kidman to win that #1 Contender's match because I just love seeing them as a team as they remind me of a young Rockers tag team of Michaels & Jannetty, with Kidman being similar to HBK and Bourne being similar to Marty Jannetty, love it if they could face Edge & Christian for the WWE Unified Tag Team Championship as they need a push and hopefully become really over with the fans
- Beth Phoenix-Maryse feud for the WWE Women's Title, feeling that, as it is a dream match for me when it comes to divas, and to see them facing off for the title will be amazing
- Hopefully Danielson gets pushed now that he is on Smackdown, perhaps pushing him towards the WWE United States Championship maybe Danielson winning the title a couple of times, then having Bryan make the transition into becoming a main eventer on Smackdown since he was trained by both HBK and William Regal.
- Sheamus laying out both Swagger and Mysterio, love that, Sheamus should be a main eventer man, I don't even understand why he is midcard right now, but him being in the US title picture is alright.
- Joey Mercury and Matt Cross joining forces with Punk, wow shocking, would have never anticipated that man, to tell you the truth
But overall great show

-Great opening segment and an Orton/Punk feud could be great, I loved booking it in my sim. But with Punk being the heel & Orton being the face here, it'll be different, maybe even better -Ryder and Kofi being on Smackdown is good, very surprised Ryder won -Jericho/Danielson was great on NXT and was great here. Jericho winning was the obvious choice -An MVP/Batista feud could be decent, not sure who the face is though -Swagger over Rey is big for him and Sheamus in the US Title picture is good -Christian over Archer was obvious. The number one contender match for the Tag Titles should be great as well -Maryse winning is good and her vs. Beth is original -Not a fan of the Matt Cross signing at all, but Punk/Orton at Over the Limit makes me wanna see the PPV already
Very good Smackdown, it looks to be the strongest show of the three post-draft.

ECW on SyFy: Tuesday 27th April 2010...The tiny update of a layout is nice, however I am shocked to see ECW continuing to run into 2010. Paul Heyman's promo was pretty entertaining to open up ECW, and showing his intentions with the brand. Tommy Dreamer should lose the ECW Championship shortly, however. He is a good wrestler, but he had his real last major run last summer, and his reign didn't attract that positive a reaction from the WWE Universe. The ECW Championship at stake next week to the winner of the ECW Welcoming Battle Royal? Interesting it's not going down at Over the Limit, but I'm not gonna lose any sleep over it if it involves a new ECW Champion. I feel that Shelton Benjamin should either be ECW Champion, or on SmackDown or RAW. Seriously, he really deserves better than this. A good win for Benjamin however, against Yoshi Tatsu. Charlie Haas attacking Benjamin still is intriguing, but this situation with Haas and Benjamin is confusing me. Fine win for Mike Knox against Eli Cottonwood; it makes me wonder what your intentions are, however. Only complaint is that the match perhaps went two minutes too long, I think. Tommy Dreamer's brief promo was great; but him mentioning Rob Van Dam before the contendership battle royal is a slight giveaway if you ask me. I do hope that Dolph Ziggler gets a decent run on ECW, perhaps as future ECW Champion, also. And wow; I was in actual fact expecting RVD to pick up the win, but Ziggler winning is great. But RVD as runner up still raises a few eyebrows. What you are going to do with the former ECW Champion, Mark Henry also confuses me. Overall, it was a decent show.
WWE SmackDown: Friday 30th April 2010...Pretty good opening promo with the WWE Champion, Randy Orton finally landing on SmackDown. I liked his promo about his former Legacy associates, Ted Dibiase and Cody Rhodes, but CM Punk interrupting Orton is good. The apparent idea of Orton and Punk feuding into Over the Limit would be great. Abraham Washington's character though, seemed to be in babyface mode. I hope that he regains a heelish personality as the weeks progress. Zack Ryder beating Kofi Kingston is good as he stole the victory; but I hope Kofi Kingston gets a rematch and wins, as Kofi is on the show where he can finally shine in the main event scene. Ryder winning however is good, as he came from ECW whilst Kofi came from RAW. Next, a fine win for Chris Jericho on Bryan Danielson. Pretty decent, but again, I fear you will push Danielson too much in the future. I could see him in the uppercard scene by 2011, before then...I'm unsure. Batista's promo was pretty good, but MVP's appearance was slightly random. If you ask me, this would make a slightly odd match-up. Batista on a crutch is amusing, though. He can insult people without being attacked; wise. Jack Swagger and Rey Mysterio would make a great first hour main event; acceptable match, and Swagger picking up the win was likely since he is the WWE United States Champion here. I do hope Vance Archer becomes an acceptable competitor on SmackDown. Christian winning is alright, as Edge and Christian continues to reign successful as WWE Unified Tag Team Champions. Maryse beating Kelly Kelly is fine, not a bad win for Maryse here. A continuation of the feud between Maryse and Beth Phoenix would be fun to watch unfold. I hope that Edge and Christian face The Uso's, but not on pay-per-view. Definitely would be too soon for Jimmy and Jules to be WWE Unified Tag Team Champions on pay-per-view. Lastly, a great main event between Randy Orton and CM Punk; the debut of the Straight Edge Society is awesome, but with Joey Mercury and Matt Cross...it's a shame they'll be bald it seems. If you go with that style of cult, that is. Overall, it was a storyline progressing show; very good.

Extreme Rules;Apr25: Inferno matches are brutal and this one was no different, good choice having Kane win his signature match. Abe getting rid of ECW sucks. Poor Heyman. The women's match as the filler bout is great and a retain for Phoenix is a good move. Extreme Rules, as the title suggests, this one was brutal. NEW ECW CHAMPION: Tommy Dreamer, great move there as the final champion. Wow, a sneaky win for the Miz, much needed to. TLC! glad Edge and Christian retain but the Jerishow split was unexpected on PPV and I liked it. Orton retaining in a Cage match is cool. Ted vs. Cody is a nice fued. RKO to Rhodes! beautiful. Last Man Standing. Great win for the game in a brutal match. Yay, Morrison vs. Punk. Great match there, very innovative with the finish.
RAW;Apr26: Punk needs to win this opener after last night, WOW, SmackDown! recieve the WWE Champion? Cool to see Edge defeat his former grasshoppers. Bryan to SD! is a nice surprise. Oh my, Jeri vs. Show. Loving the countout finish. RAW get McIntyre, it works. Kozlov to RAW is a decent pick, for this diary anyway. Washington to SmackDown! was useless until we got Heyman to ECW, woop. Great win for the ECW Champion. RVD TO ECW! Beautiful. Swagger and Kofi to SD! is good, now both brans have a mid-card champion. Surprised to see Sheamus win the match there. R-Truth to RAW is cool I guess. Meh, Divas. Nice ending battle royal with the Game picking up the victory. Hardy to RAW is good. Morrison to RAW :/. There a too many big names on RAW for Morrison to still look credible, IDK....
ECW;Apr27: Can't wait for this. See, Heyman is perfect, sets up an eXtreme Rules match for next week. Good win for Benjamin, he need that. I like the BenjiHaas feud. Meh, jobber match with Knox comming out ontop. RVD. Atleast Dreamer gets to keep that title. I can't wait for this Battle Royal, I'm guessing RVD wins but anything can happen. Khali eliminated first makes sense, get the big guy out. Down to 7 now. Don't like Bourne out so quickly but ok. Ziggler is doing swimmingly. Chavo gets eliminated and with that we are down to three. Wow, Ziggler dominated, great push for Dolph. Love it. That'll be a great match.
SmackDown!;Apr30: Orton opening on his new brand is awesome. CM Punk, feudal time. I hope Punk wins, that title bout sounds epic for Over the Limit. Zack Ryder wins! push him please but don't job out Kofi because he should be further up the card. Chris beating Danielson is a good choice, Jericho saying that he is the true 'big show' is epic. Big Show vs. Jericho at Over the Limit please. MVP vs. Batista sounds great and MVP really looked legit in that promo. Rey should've beat Swagger for a new contender but Sheamus laying out both men post-match does the trick. Squash, Christian beating Archer is cool. Any of those three teams listed would make a good match. Maryse, same old. Beth should squash her. I could see The Uso's vs. Edge and Christian. Oh man, who's he calling?!?!? Wow Mercury and Cross give Punk the win. Not sure on Cross signing though. Good episode otherwise.
A few good shows there, You should do something inventive on RAW though, to catch eyes, like a big story-line or summin'.

SmackDown, great opening segment, I hope Punk wins tonight, leading to a match with Orton at Over the Limit, I think Punk would make a good WWE Champion. Surprised to see Zack Ryder defeat Kofi Kingston, I was goping for Kingston to win. Definitely the right decision to have Chris Jericho go over Bryan Danielson, Danielson needs to be pushed into the spotlight slowly, and just facing Chris Jericho is a big move for him. MVP and Batista feud? Interesting. Pleased to see Jack Swagger pick up his first victory on SmackDown, hopefully he gets a decent challenger. I'm not sure about Sheamus with him being heel, but whatever. Obvious victory for Christian here, wouldn't have been right the other way around. Pleased to see Maryse with the victory, the right move. I think you're pushing The Uso's a bit too much, they shouldn't be anywhere near the Unified Tag Team Championships yet, keep them away for a while, give them a separate tag team feud. Joey Mercury and Matt Cross? Interesting. I am pleased CM Punk got the victory, even if it was via Countout. I would actually like to see Punk take the WWE Championship from Orton at Over the Limit. Great SmackDown.

l May 3, 2010 l Aiken Convocation Center: Aiken, SC l
The pyros go off welcoming everybody to Raw! The familiar Drowning Pool version of "The Game" as Triple H makes his way down to the ring to boos from the crowd. He gets on the mic and tells everybody in attendance to shut up, he needs to speak. He says that at Extreme Rules he took out Shawn Michaels, his former best friend who stabbed him in the back. He goes on saying the next night he lost to CM Punk in the opening match, but got the ultimate win at the end of the night in the battle royal and made a statement to the WWE Universe by striking John Morrison with a sledgehammer. They boo at that comment, and he says that it is quite obvious why he would do that, it's simply because he wants the World Heavyweight Championship. After going on about how he deserves to be the champion, John Morrison hears enough of it and makes his way down to the ring. He gets on the mic himself and tells Hunter that he chose to strike him with a sledgehammer last week - and it was a bad decision. He steps up to him, raising the title, and tells him that he will embarrass him if he dare take the risk of facing him. Hunter remains quiet and Morrison continues, saying that people are sick of seeing the same people getting title shots, especially Hunter, but what they do love is when that constant challenger gets his ass kicked. Teddy Long makes his way out to the ramp after a short stare down. He speaks up and says that Triple H obviously made a statement last week, and it looks like John wants some revenge. With that, he says at Over The Limit it will be John Morrison vs Triple H for the World Heavyweight Championship! Before he leaves, he says that along with John Morrison taking on Vladimir Kozlov, Triple H will also be in action - against Kane! Hunter looks furious as Morrison smirks at him, and taunts him with the World Heavyweight Title.
Commercial Break
Tag Team Match Cody Rhodes and The Miz vs Ted DiBiase and John Cena
The bell rings as DiBiase and Miz start off. They go at it for the opening minute, DiBiase eventually picking up control and dominating things on the mat. Miz fights back on the rise and gets some nice moves in, and after a couple minutes tags are made. After Cena unloads with momentum for a few minutes, Rhodes gets a bit of control. After some frequent tags, Cena and Rhodes are at it again. Cena manages to hit the Attitude Adjustment, but the ref is knocked down by Miz with a bump, and he capitalizes by hitting Cena with the Money in the Bank Briefcase and placing Rhodes' arm over him for the slow 3.
Winners of the match: Cody Rhodes and The Miz [9:21] ***
After the match, DiBiase gets into the ring and chases Miz off. Meanwhile, Rhodes gets up behind him and hits the Cross Rhodes with authority. He exits the ring as Cena and DiBiase roll around in pain on opposite sides of the ring, Miz and Rhodes both grin at what they did.
Commercial Break
Singles Match Michelle McCool w/Layla vs Gail Kim
The bell rings and both women get at it with strikes. The first couple minutes go to McCool as she cheaply manages to drop Kim multiple times following her dirty tactics. Kim eventually fights back, but fails to execute with a top rope crossbody after a couple minutes as Layla pushes her off. McCool manages to capitalize with a beat down in the corner and eventually delivers the Faith Breaker and pins Kim for the 3.
Winner of the match: Michelle McCool [5:23] **
Following the match, McCool and Layla celebrate as McCool gets on the mic. She says that now that she is a part of Raw, there is going to be some big changes, because the Diva's Championship belongs around not just strength, but beauty. As she continues, Diva's Champion Serena makes her way down to the ring and gets in McCool's face. She asks her who she thinks she is, and McCool responds by telling her she is 'a real champion' and slaps Serena. The diva's champion unloads with strikes at both McCool and Layla and eventually scares them out of the ring. She raises the title as they back away.
Commercial Break
We return and Big Show makes his way down to the ring. He gets on the mic and says that lately he's been doing a lot of thinking; and he went over to Smackdown to confront Chris Jericho about what he was thinking. He says that he was thinking of knocking him out with one punch. The crowd pops and he says the reason he gave up on Jerishow is because he was sick of being pushed around and being disrespected by Chris. He says he wants him down to this ring right now - because he knows he thinks he has the right to come to every show whenever he pleases. After a little while, Jericho appears on the titantron. He tells Show to shut his mouth, he knows that it was himself who carried around the team and Big Show is just a joke. He continues to rant on about how he deserved so much more then to team with Big Show, but it was all he had and he just settled and carried the team around. Show challenges him to a No Holds Barred Match at Over The Limit immediately after, but Jericho tells Show to shut is mouth, he knows that it was himself who carried around the team and Big Show is just a joke. Commentators and Show are confused as to why he is repeating himself, and Jericho comes in behind him and cracks a chair into his back repeatedly. As Show turns, Jericho hits him over the head and lays him out. He takes the mic and tells Show that he accepts and exits the ring.
Commercial Break

Commercial Break
We return, and Josh Mathews introduces his guest to be Kane. He asks him about facing Triple H tonight and Kane just sadistically laughs, and tells him that he went through Batista and set him on fire just a little over a week ago, so he is more then pleasured to beat the living hell out of Triple H tonight.

Commercial Break
We return and see Santino Marella sitting at a table, seeming upset. Curt Hawkins comes walking by and sits next to him, asking what's wrong. Santino tells him the leperchaun and Casper are gone, he has nothing to live for. Hawkins pats him on the back and says that he totally does, and reaches in his pocket and pulls out a fortune cookie. He hands it to him. Santino opens it and reads it: "You will be meta by a golden opportunity!" He squeals like a little girl and jumps up to his feet pumping his fist into the air. He says he is going to get a title shot, but in steps Goldust. He snarls and says he's always wanted to try an Italian. Santino has a look of horror across his face and quickly runs off screaming, releasing the paper that had his fortune. Hawkins offers Goldust one.
We then cut to Teddy Long's office and John Cena comes storming in. He tells Teddy he wants a rematch with Miz next week. Teddy says he can't do that, and Cena grabs him by the collar demanding it now. Teddy puts his hands up and says that he is willing to work a deal out with him, but not right now. Cena lets go of him slowly and tells him he lost at Royal Rumble, then at WrestleMania, and at Extreme Rules... he wants to get back in check. Teddy says that he promises they can work something out by next week, and Cena exits upset.
Commercial Break
Singles Match Kane vs Triple H
The bell rings and Hunter gets the upper hand early on with a lot of hard strikes and throws to the mat. Kane fights back after a little while doing the same. As he gets a lot of momentum, he tries to finish things with the chokeslam but Hunter manages to fight his way out of it. They get a fair share of momentum within the next few minutes, each hitting a lot of signature moves. Kane then manages to hit the chokeslam, but Hunter rolls out of the ring wisely.
Commercial Break
When we return, Hunter is beating the hell out of Kane in the corner with strikes. They fight back and forth afterward and after hitting a knee to the face, HHH takes ultimate momentum by hitting the knee to the face and a spinebuster. However, he fails to convert with the Pedigree and is met with overpowering by Kane for the next minutes. He eventually takes the Big Red Machine out of the ring with a clothesline, but has had enough of the match and takes a sledgehammer from under the ring and awaits Kane to rise, and hits him in the ribs with it as he does.
Winner via disqualification: Kane [14:40] ***1/2
Kane holds onto his ribs in pain as Hunter drags him back up and throws him into the ring. He sets up to hit him with it again, but John Morrison comes rushing down to the ring and ducks a shot from the sledgehammer and clocks Hunter in the face with the World Title and hits the Starship Pain before standing over 'The Game', raising the World Heavyweight Championship high above his head to end Raw.

WWE RAW: Monday 3rd May 2010...A pretty good opening promo to kick off the show with Triple H in the ring. I did like John Morrison interrupting him and the two seemingly feuding over the World Heavyweight Championship would be quite good. I am not sure about Vladimir Kozlov being Morrison's opponent; Kozlov is like Snitsky: he was originally credible, but then ended up being used as just a big man with no momentum. Anyways, a pretty decent tag team opening contest with John Cena and Ted Dibiase teaming up against Cody Rhodes and The Miz, but to be totally honest, these two should have definitely been in the first-hour main event. They've been put on the show way too early. Following this, not too bad a match between Gail Kim and Michelle McCool; fine victory for McCool though. A feud between Serena Mancini and McCool would be fun. Big Show's promo was pretty decent, but first-hour main event? Hmm, not so fond of that decision. Show now feuding with his old Jerishow associate, Chris Jericho would be pretty nice to watch, too. But hmm, acceptable match with the World Heavyweight Champion obviously beating Kozlov. I like the concept of this tonight, but it was pulled off badly. Next, decent six man tag team match with the blacks facing the Europeans...oh, and Matt Hardy. Drew McIntyre, William Regal and Matt Hardy beating R-Truth and Cryme Tyme is fine; a pretty good match here. It's just a shame that McIntyre, Hardy and R-Truth are three of the least interesting performers in the WWE today. I am unsure of the three-way tag team match following this up, too, as we've just had a six man tag team match. Went a little too long for my liking, too. The Hart Dynasty facing Edge and Christian at Over the Limit should be pretty good, but I can't see them winning the WWE Unified Tag Team Championships. Hehe, Curt Hawkins, Santino Marella and Goldust's exchange was amusing, but what is up with Hawkins and his card-reading gimmick? It's senseless and totally random and bizarre. Lastly, Kane and Triple H had a fair main event match; Triple H losing by disqualification is a good twist to the show, and the aftermath occurence was good. Overall, a decent show with some odd booking decisions.

Raw, two good matches made there, adn obviously the Over the Limit match aswell, I hope Morrison retains, gain him some credibility. Interesting tag team match to open up, but I'm not too sure on this opening up with the likes of Miz and Cena taking part. Pleased to see McCool go over Kim, adn she is definitely a credible contender for Serena's Divas Title. Interesting feud between Chris Jericho and the Big Show, I like it. Obvious victory for Morrison in the first hour Main Event. Pleased to see the heels go over in this tag match, the better team. Glad the Hart Dynasty won this as the other two teams don't deserve the shot yet. I was expecting some sort of DQ finish for the Main Event, seemed predictable, but it worked. I'm glad Morrison stood tall on this edition of Raw, he needs as much build as possible, because even as World Champion, I can't see him as a top star on Raw. Good show, overall.
