Raw
- Enjoyed Punk's promo to kick off the show I could imagine the crowd being pumped. Punk/Reigns has had a fairly long build maybe too long but tonight was a good night. Punk feels a good few levels above Reigns at the minute so could make Reigns look a little stronger heading into Mania.
- Punk/Cesaro would have been a great match, mentioned it before but Cesaro is struggling currently and despite being MITB he needs a boost.
- Authority promo while going over the Orton attack didn't seem to be going anywhere really until Ambrose showed up and saved the segment.
- The Big Show/Danielson backstage bit left me intrigued. Could be used for a future Big Show heel turn the man doesn't need much of an excuse. Lesnar and Bryan having a confrontation would have brought the house down and got everyone excited for Mania. Good work here, simple booking works sometimes!
- Ryback/Del Rio, Sheamus/Kofi, Tag Titles and Wyatt/Ryder wouldn't have been the most exciting on this show - I understand the Wyatt squash and tha tag match is leading to a 4 way title match maybe a ladder match but Sheamus, Ryback, Del Rio, New Nation and some others are just coming across like names on paper at the minute, they aint over with me. Mentioned it before but think it's time to be freshening up your roster
- Where's Braxton and AJ Styles tonight?
- Final segment obviously would have had the fans on their feet for a Rock/Cena face off but maybe because I've seen or read Rock/Cena face off's a good few times on occasion over the last couple of years it was just missing something.
- 4 matches set for Mania, Mania is shaping up to be a great show.

- According to multiple sources, CM Punk has not given WWE full committal towards re-signing with the company. His current contract expires in July, but he has reportedly refused to even begin negotiations to another deal. Although there is some concern among fans that one of their top stars could be on his way out, the reminder needs to be made that he almost did the same thing three years ago before being promised his push. His push, in which he received a main event match at WrestleMania against Stone Cold Steve Austin, two high profile contests with Triple H, another dream match against The Rock at Summerslam, a Royal Rumble victory and a WWE Championship victory in the main event of WrestleMania 29.
- WWE has reportedly been in talks with legend Booker T about making one last run in the WWE. While Booker has been among those speculated to enter the WWE Hall of Fame the past couple of years, there has been a request from him - according to reports - to not do so until he officially retires. Booker just turned 49 years old on March 1st.
- There have been many reports as of late that Batista could be on his way out after WrestleMania XXX, even if temporary. His apparent rival Randy Orton, however, may also be looking at taking some time off. Orton has been consistently on television for a few years now and a break for him could be a long time coming and possibly beneficial not only to himself, but to the fan base to be re-energized with his character.
- Hulk Hogan is the host of WrestleMania this year, but despite speculation, doesn't have any plans to return to the ring any time soon. Hogan has notoriously dealt with many back issues over the past decade, including multiple surgeries, and won't be able to take much damage. Hogan has spoken about facing John Cena many of times, however, but it seems like a very far-fetched idea right now. Although, there is some hope for that dream match as we have seen CM Punk versus Stone Cold Steve Austin back at WrestleMania XVIII and now Cena versus The Rock this year.

- I think CM Punk in your diary that he will leave by July but that CM Punk his way of leaving will be that he will retire from WWE with him announcing his retirement either by July or in July but that CM Punk will get quite the send-off retiring on his own terms, that is what I think
- As far as Booker T having another run here in your diary I am not opposed to it, hell I support it because I want nothing more than to see Booker back in the ring but really who could he feud with at this point?
- Well Batista if he is leaving even temporarily it makes sense because of him promoting his movie Guardians of the Galaxy so it would make sense considering Batista is a Hollywood movie star so if he leaves even temporarily it makes sense because of his Hollywood fame/stardom
- And if Orton ends up taking a break then it would make sense because it keeps his character not only relevant but more fresh in a sense
- Hogan I can't see him having one more match and even if he did the only superstar I could realistically see him facing is none other than John Cena and Hogan putting Cena over passing the torch to him because in a sense Cena is this generation's Hogan if that makes any sense

 MARCH 6, 2014 FROM THE JOE LOUIS ARENA IN DETROIT, MICHIGAN
The show kicks off following the signature WWE intro, the cameras scanning over the Joe Louis Arena from Detroit, Michigan. Michael Cole and John Bradshaw Layfield welcome everyone to the show and tonight, a big tag team match is our main event! CM Punk and Chris Jericho team up to take on Roman Reigns and Wade Barrett! Plus, Bryan Danielson returns to action on Smackdown as he goes one on one with Alberto Del Rio.
The theme music of Dolph Ziggler hits and the crowd pops, the Show Off making his way out from the back and pumping the fans up. He comes down and in to the ring, taking a microphone from ringside. "The past year for me has been as up and down as anybody else. I went from being the World Heavyweight Champion to losing the title, to falling in to a rut, to having to realize a change in attitude. During this time, I've watched another man go up and down and that man is Seth Rollins..." The crowd gives a loud, mixed reaction to the mention of Rollins' name. Ziggler continues on, explaining how Seth had one of the longest Intercontinental Championship reigns ever with a 350 day reign, followed up by a change in attitude as well - only in the other direction. "You see, Seth Rollins' ego grew bigger and bigger and his aggression grew stronger and stronger and he tried to destroy me last week by curb stomping me in to the floor. He tried to end my career! I can handle somebody being a total jerk but this... this..." He is stopped by the theme music of Rollins, whom makes his way out atop the stage with a huge, cocky smile across his face and his arms spread out.
"Oh, woe is Dolph! You know what, Dolph? I'm sick and tired of hearing you bitch and moan and stick your nose in to my business. I don't care whether you, or anybody else, likes me or not! The fact of the matter is I'm going to Extreme Rules in less than two months with a shot at the Undisputed WWE Championship and that is all that matters and you know what I think? I think you're jealous." Rollins snickers, saying that Ziggler hasn't been the same since he lost his title last year at WrestleMania and now he is very envious and bitter. He says that last week he did something he hasn't done in a long time and that is fail. "I failed in putting you on the shelf, Dolph. Now, tonight, I got myself some back up to take care of you... two men that are as hungry as I am to gain the success they deserve." Out from behind Rollins comes Cody Rhodes and Goldust, the brothers that showed a different side of them last week on Smackdown and this past Monday on Raw. The trio come marching down to the ring and get on to the apron, staring Ziggler down. As they start to enter the ring, however, The Usos come racing down from the back! Jimmy and Jey slide in to the ring, causing Rollins and The Rhodes Brothers to slip out of the ring just in time. As Ziggler and The Usos march around the ring, the theme music of Stephanie McMahon hits. Many boos fills the arena as she makes her way out to the ramp, staring down at the six. "I've had enough of this! On behalf of The Authority, I'm making a match right here and right now: Dolph Ziggler and The Usos versus Seth Rollins, Cody Rhodes and Goldust!" She heads to the back as the two sides stare each other down as we have ourselves a big opening contest.
Commercial Break
DOLPH ZIGGLER AND THE USOS DEF. SETH ROLLINS, CODY RHODES AND GOLDUST » The match begins with Jey and Rollins, the latter dominating as soon as the bell sounds. He, Rhodes and Goldust make tons of tags between each other and don't let up on Jey. He hits Goldust with a huge shot to the chin, however, and makes the hot tag to Ziggler. He runs in and cleans house, going wild with fast and hard moves to Goldust that leads to multiple near falls. Rhodes goes for the Disaster Kick but Ziggler blasts him with the superkick! Goldust tries to hit him with the Final Cut but Ziggler pushes off, hitting the Zig Zag! Jey comes flying across the ring and dives right over on to Rollins on the outside as Dolph tags in Jimmy, whom hits Goldust with a top rope splash, leading to the pinfall victory.
Jimmy pops back on to his feet and shares a hug with Ziggler, Jey rolling back in to the ring to join in on the celebration. Rollins backs up the ramp, holding the back of his head, as Rhodes and Goldust lean up against the barricade in frustration. Back in the ring, Ziggler and The Usos raise their arms up in unison as they have managed to team up and defeat their rivals here tonight!
Commercial Break
Returning, Darren Young is standing in the ring ready for competition. Derrick Bateman's theme music hits and he makes his way out, his 'heavy' and NXT Women's Champion Tamina Snuka at his side. "Cut the music! Cut the music!" He says with a smile, marching his way down the ramp and towards the ring. "You have all been witnesses to the resurgence of what is to be a magnificent career! Twenty years from now, you will look back at WrestleMania XXX and say things about John Cena versus The Rock and Bryan Danielson versus Brock Lesnar and all that other crap! But then you will be looking back on every WrestleMania afterward with the main event featuring Derrick Bateman." He flashes a very big smile once again, being met with many boos as he enters the ring - staring Young down. "Now, all of you should sit back, relax and watch as I yet again prove to you all that you should pay attention to me!" He hands his microphone off to the outside and the referee calls for the bell.
DERRICK BATEMAN (W/TAMINA SNUKA) DEF. DARREN YOUNG » Bateman toys with Young immediately, causing Darren to get frustrated and surprise Bateman with a dropkick. 'Dr. DB', as Bateman has referred to himself on Twitter according to Michael Cole, backs in to the corner and calls for a time out. The official gets in between him and Young, Darren backing off only to be hit with a huge clothesline! Bateman hits multiple tosses and a couple of slams, getting cocky and taunting to the crowd. Young dropkicks Bateman through the ropes and follows after him, only for Bateman to get back in to the ring and pull the referee aside - pleading him with him to get things under control. In the mean time, Tamina blasts Young with a clothesline and powerslam! She rolls him back in to the ring for Bateman to drop him with The DB Driver and hook both legs for the three count.
Bateman rises back on to his feet and hops up and down, pumping his fist in the air with an excited 'woo!' as if he had just won the main event at WrestleMania, like he boldly predicted earlier. Tamina joins him in the ring and holds his arm up, giving him a fist bump this week instead of a high five. The duo exit the ring with another successful night.
Backstage, Bryan Danielson is seen walking through the halls. The Joe Louis Arena erupts for him as he returns to action here on Smackdown by going up against Alberto Del Rio. That match is coming up next!
Commercial Break
BRYAN DANIELSON DEF. ALBERTO DEL RIO » The bell rings and a 'Yes!' chant immediately begins, Del Rio telling the fans to shut up - which leads to them chanting back 'No!' at him, much to the delight of Danielson - whom trades punches and kicks with Alberto early. The Mexican aristocrat smashes him with an elbow, however, and begins to target the arm that was injured at the hands of Brock Lesnar. Danielson mounts a comeback after being controlled for a short while, however, and sends Del Rio to the outside - hitting him with air goat afterward! A commercial break ensues with the crowd chanting 'Yes!' as loud as they can once again. Upon the return, ADR is back in control and keeps on working the arm. He gets too confident, however, and lets Danielson mash him with chops and uppercuts. The Royal Rumble winner hits a top rope dropkick and gets a near fall, setting up for the running knee afterward. Del Rio avoids it, however, and goes for the Rolling Cross Armbar which Danielson manages to stop by bridging himself up. He pushes off the ropes as Alberto rises and blasts him with the knee to the face! Bryan proceeds to lock him in the Yes! Lock and rather quickly, Del Rio taps out.
Bryan gets on to his feet and begins his celebration, hopping up and down across the ring - leading the WWE Universe in the 'Yes!' chants. The commentary team goes through the highlights of the match, Danielson still showing some ring rust but ultimately managing to put Del Rio away with the Yes! Lock.
Commercial Break
Back from break, Bryan Danielson still stands in the ring with the crowd staying energized with the 'Yes!' chants. He holds a microphone and takes a deep breath before speaking. "You know, last week I made the decision to offer my match with Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania to be a Hell in a Cell match. The same match he almost ended my career in... everyone called me crazy. They said it was going to be the biggest regret of not only my career, but my entire life, to face Brock inside Hell in a Cell again..." He runs his hand through his hair and beard, looking down at the mat. He slowly lifts his head back up, gazing out to the crowd. "But this match... it isn't just about becoming Undisputed WWE Champion. It is about retribution. It is about... doing what I love for each and every one of you and doing it in spite of Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman." He gets a big applause and cheer from the Detroit crowd. He continues on, saying that he knows that this decision may not be the smartest one, but he wouldn't want it any other way and at WrestleMania he plans on turning it in to 'Yes-leMania' and screaming that word along with the entire WWE Universe in the faces of Lesnar and Heyman. "We got a little more than four weeks to go and I'm ready. Paul Heyman likes to say Brock lives by the code of 'eat, sleep, conquer, repeat' well I got a little code right back at you: Yes! Yes! Yes! Repeat! YES! YES! YES! REPEAT! YES! YES! YES! REPEAT!" The crowd picks up with it as Danielson drops the mike, his music hitting as he pumps his index fingers in to the air repeatedly.
Still to come later on, CM Punk and Chris Jericho versus Roman Reigns and Wade Barrett.
Commercial Break
A promo video airs for WrestleMania XXX on April 6, 2014 from New Orleans, Louisiana! 31 days away!
ANTONIO CESARO DEF. JACK SWAGGER (W/ZEB COLTER) » The bell rings as Cesaro looks to rebound from his tough loss to CM Punk on Raw, overpowering Swagger quickly. He tries to get him in the swing but Swagger rolls free and gets out of the ring, taking his time with Colter. Cesaro follows after him but gets lifted and slammed back first in to the post. They get back in the ring and Swagger gets many near falls, causing him to get very frustrated. He misses on the Swagger Bomb and Cesaro rises up, tossing him in the air with a huge uppercut! He gets a two count of his own and immediately gets back up, pulling Swagger up and swinging him to the delight of the crowd! He spins sixteen times before releasing, letting Swagger get up and putting him away with the Neutralizer. He hooks the inside leg for the one, two, three.
Cesaro gets back on to his feet and pumps his fists in the air in signature fashion, having gotten back on track with a win tonight. The referee hands over his Money in the Bank briefcase and he holds it high over his head. "Is this idiot ever going to cash in his Money in the Bank?" JBL questions on commentary. "Clock's ticking, dumb-dumb!"
Commercial Break
After the break, Michael Cole gives the reminder that Hulk Hogan will be on Raw this Monday to make a special announcement in regards to WrestleMania!
DIVA'S CHAMPION PAIGE (W/WILLIAM REGAL) DEF. AKSANA IN A NON-TITLE MATCH » As soon as the bell rings, Paige unleashes a fury on Aksana. She gets multiple near falls and starts to get frustrated, bashing Aksana's face off the mat repeatedly. The referee gets to a count of four, just driving Paige even more. Aksana tries to get a roll up, but only gets a two count, causing the Diva's Champion to - in frustration - drop Aksana immediately with the Paige Turner. She hooks both legs up for the three.
The crowd boos as Paige slams her hands in to the mat over and over again, letting out a loud scream. She forces Aksana back up and thrashes her with knees to the gut, refusing to let up! The referee tries to pull her away but Paige smashes Aksana with a big kick to the face, dropping her through the ropes and to the floor. Regal comes in to the ring, holding Paige back and calming her down as she screams 'AJ!' in reference to AJ Lee, whom just returned on Monday night.
Commercial Break
Back from break, Batista's theme music hits and he makes his way out atop the stage with a microphone in his hands. He stares out to the crowd from behind his sunglasses, letting his music die down as the fans chant 'Boo-tista!' at him. He shakes his head, saying that if anything he should be booing them. "This Monday, I'm going to come down to that ring with a briefcase. That briefcase will contain $10,000. With that briefcase, I will be offering it to Randy Orton on behalf of The Authority..." The crowd cheers Orton's name in the middle of it, resulting in a barking order of 'shut up!' to the distaste of the crowd. "Randy will have his chance to take $10,000 and walk away from everything that has gone abrupt between himself and The Authority because of his actions and if Randy has any sense... he'll take that money, shut up and walk away. In the mean time, I'll be working my ass off to get myself what I deserve: An Undisputed WWE Championship match!" He throws his microphone down and heads to the back, the 'Boo-tista' chants following him.
Backstage stands Renee Young and she introduces her guest at this time, CM Punk. He steps forward to a big pop, crossing his arms as Young asks him about his WrestleMania match coming up with Roman Reigns as well as his tag match coming up next. "This is about more than me and Roman Reigns. This is also about me and Paul Heyman... the thing is, Paul is hiding behind Roman and Roman wants to be the cockiest guy in the world over what he did to me. Sure, the kid is impressive, I'll give him that... but he's also an idiot." Punk shrugs his shoulders and scoffs, saying that Reigns has two words to say. "Believe that! Believe that, believe me, believe Paul... believe this, Roman... I'm gonna kick your ass every chance I get and at WrestleMania it will be no different... and once I get through you, I'm going to get my hands on Paul Heyman and kick his ass too. Hell, maybe tonight I'll give you both a little preview." He heads off with the main event coming up next!
Commercial Break
CM PUNK AND CHRIS JERICHO DEF. ROMAN REIGNS AND INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION WADE BARRETT (W/PAUL HEYMAN AND THE COMMONWEALTH) » The bell rings, Barrett starting off with Punk. They go back and forth to start, Punk missing a clothesline in the corner and Barrett bashes him with a boot to the back of the head. He begins a beat down before getting rocked with a kick to the back of the head, allowng Punk to make the tag to Jericho. He rushes in and keeps momentum on his side, a commercial break coming after he throws Barrett in to Reigns, dropping them both to the outside. Upon the return, Reigns is in the match and dominates Jericho. As he gets some momentum going, he goes for the Superman Punch but Jericho drops to the mat to avoid it - tripping Reigns to the mat. He blasts him with a bulldog after he gets up and makes the tag to Punk, whom comes in with a glow in his eyes. Reigns gets up and stands groggily, Barrett taking the opportunity to tag himself in. The Joe Louis Arena boos, Punk talking smack. He lets Barrett step up and blasts him with a sharp kick to the back of the head! He makes the tag back to Jericho and rushes at Reigns - diving out of the ring towards him! The two begin to brawl and Reigns shoves him away, getting over the barricade. Back in the ring, Jericho takes the opportunity to hit Barrett with the Codebreaker and hooks both legs up for the three count.
The fans cheer for Jericho as he rolls out of the ring immediately, avoiding The Commonwealth as they storm the ring. Y2J backs up the ramp with a smile as the referee follows him to raise his arm up as the victor. Barrett struggles in to a sitting position with help from Paige, giving a long stare to Jericho as he motions for the Intercontinental Championship around his waist.
The cameras cut backstage to show Roman Reigns staggering out back, CM Punk rushing up behind and blasting him with a hard club to the back of the head! He continues to fire away at Reigns, refusing to let up. Reigns spins around and shoves Punk back first in to the wall, continuing to stagger off. Punk takes a moment for running after Reigns once again - this time following him in to the parking lot. He throws Reigns face first in to a car hood and mounts on top of him again, throwing fists to the face repeatedly. He gives a big swooping kick to the side of the face and jumps down, staring at Reigns as he collapses across the hood. "I'm not done with you yet, you son of a bitch..." Punk says through heavy breaths, starting to step forward but stopping as the swerving a car can be heard - Punk being clipped in the side by the back of the vehicle! The crowd lets out a gasp as Punk flies to the floor, cringing in pain. "Come on! Get in! GET IN!" Comes from the window, it rolling down to reveal none other than Paul Heyman himself. Reigns struggles back up and goes around the car, getting in to the passenger side. Heyman races off, Punk left struggling on the floor - letting out a suffering moan, a few superstars rushing over to check on him as Smackdown comes to an end.

- Ziggler opening up Smackdown to address Rollins, it makes sense considering Ziggler's career was almost ended by Rollins last week and Ziggler wants retribution but Rollins said he not only did it to make a statement but he more or less did it to prove a point the point being for Ziggler to stay out of Rollins' business and he should but Rollins did bring up a good point, Ziggler is jealous of Rollins' success let's face it I mean Ziggler is more or less an afterthought ever since losing the World Heavyweight Championship whereas Rollins' career is not only on the rise but he is only getting better because he is the #1 Contender for the WWE Undisputed Championship
- Rollins ends up bringing with him his tag team partners for the night who end up being The Rhodes Brothers Goldust & Cody Rhodes, it makes sense considering all 3 of these men have something in common, all 3 have changes in attitude but all 3 men are going places ever since their heel turns but Ziggler's tag team partners end up being The Usos who end up making the save for Ziggler who is about to get his ass handed to him, yes it sets up tonight's match so I commend you for that
- The faces going over, yes a win for the faces puts The Usos as well as Ziggler over huge in the sense that it gives them momentum but also at the same time they just needed the win more but at the same time it doesn't necessarily mean Rollins, Rhodes and Goldust's momentum is hurt well not all that much but at the same time the heels always manage to find a way to bounce back so it wouldn't surprise me if they do sooner or later but either way it was a great match to kick off Smackdown
- Derrick Bateman wins yet another match yet again this time beating Darren Young with the help of his heavy with the help of his bodyguard Tamina she pretty much is doing all the hard work while Bateman is taking advantage and while Bateman seems to be winning all these matches yes it does put him over but at the same time he can't really be taken seriously as a threat especially having a female diva like Tamina for a bodyguard he needs a woman to protect him really? Yes I pay attention to the fact that he needs a woman to fight his battles for him HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA that is what I understand
- It seems Danielson is ready for WrestleMania, his first match back I think and in his first match in ring match back and he beats Del Rio, I just hope Lesnar was watching this match because if he was then he should know that Danielson is ready for him but it is like Del Rio is a complete afterthought but I wonder what he is going to do to rectify that? But as for Danielson I wonder if he is ready for his redemption because he has a date with destiny a date with a Beast
- Yes JBL is right, Cesaro is an idiot because by now he should have cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase but he has waited for so damn long like what is the damn hold-up on cashing in? But in all honesty Cesaro Mr. Money in the Bank has been on a slump losing matches but he manages to win his match by beating Swagger maybe this is the start of a winning streak for Mr. Money in the Bank
- Paige goes over Aksana it makes sense that Paige would go over she is the WWE Divas Champion and she needs to look strong for when she inevitably faces AJ and considering the angle Paige put AJ on the shelf and now AJ is back and wants her title back, battle of the 2 alpha females it is only a matter of time before their paths cross
- Batista really thinks he is going to be WWE Undisputed Champion well Batista's time is at an end he should realize that he has been passed by Batista is not the future anymore he is not even the present he is a thing of the past because that is what he is, a thing of the past and Batista he actually thinks Orton is going to take the money? Then Batista is an even bigger idiot because he should know Orton well enough to know that Orton will want to RKO his ass and then punt him in the skull for good measure
- Punk's promo he is definitely ready for WrestleMania 30 that's for sure
- And in the main event The Best in the World CM Punk teaming up with the Best in the World at everything he does Chris Jericho and the 2 of them make quite the team especially beating their respective rivals Reigns and the WWE Intercontinental Champion Wade Barrett, I would have never have foreseen this but it just goes back to my point that Punk and Jericho not only make quite the team but at the same time it proves that they are both ready for WrestleMania
- But Punk getting ran down by a car to end Smackdown, I wonder if Paul Heyman and Roman Reigns will suffer any consequences for that at least?

WWE Monday Night RAW: Monday 3rd March 2014…More on the road to WrestleMania XXX. It seems like so far away still, at this point. CM Punk kicking things off tonight is fine, I do have to wonder what your long term plan is for Punk considering he obviously has no reason to leave: with him getting his WrestleMania main event and his friend Colt Cabana being signed to NXT. I see that this angle forwarded the feud with Roman Reigns – which will most likely and shamefully be overshadowed by every other big-time match on the card for WrestleMania. But hey, hopefully they’ll have the rematch come Extreme Rules where it can shine for all its worth. Paul Heyman’s rebuttal was nice, I do think Reigns in real life would have settled better as a heel. The fans really got behind him – until they realised what a terrible babyface character he is. I forgot that this RAW is the one emanating from Chicago, Illinois. Now that opening segment makes a lot more sense. I just thought you were trying to go for an ensemble cast of superstars angle in different positions on the show. I guess that is kind of what you’re doing – which is necessary with WrestleMania one month away. Opening match, of course hometown hero CM Punk defeated Antonio Cesaro. I’m sure that this was a solid match – these two never actually met in the WWE ring, did they? Cesaro honouring Punk with a handshake was very weird, but alright. I think if you wanted a realistic spin on this kind of thing you’d have had Punk left laying at the hands of Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman – only in his hometown! Now that’s real heat, whereas here the Punk/Reigns feud just came off as second nature. Seth Rollins swearing about Dolph Ziggler. Well. Sheamus beats Kofi Kingston. Whatever. Why is Sheamus still the United States Champion? I kind of feel like that title doesn’t mean sh*t in this diary compared to the Intercontinental Championship. I recommend dropping it completely at some point. The Authority promo snooooooore. It dealt with the matter at hand, and that was making Dean Ambrose a focal point with his returning retribution on Triple H. This feud would have been dynamite five or six years ago. Nonetheless, this angle was well done. It also touched on Batista and Randy Orton’s previous issues as well, which is cool with me. Hunter’s all mad, very nice to test the waters of Hunter’s moods. Ambrose has gotten inside of his head –I would like to see some more hesitation to Triple H accepting or making a match official for WrestleMania, though. Test this out: have Ambrose really get inside Hunter’s head FORCING his hand to make a match for WrestleMania. Regardless of how long it is before you make it official, the build will make it all the better. Paige defeating Kaitlyn was fine to keep the Divas Champion strong. How is Kaitlyn still around? AJ Lee and Paige hype – okay. Moving on, a filler Bray Wyatt win against Zack Ryder. It kept his name in the spotlight, especially without the Undertaker around. Unfortunately it didn’t do much for Wyatt in this instance – it came off to me like Bray is just preparing for another pay-per-view match. A promo would have been better off than a squash win, I just don’t think he needed it here. You could have even had a pre-tape interruption from the Undertaker or something as well. Daniel Bryan and Big Show competing to a no contest felt strange to me. Nonetheless, it made sense with Brock Lesnar’s involvement. Heyman is a busy bee. Bryan with the shine here, and that’s great. You know what you could do before WrestleMania? Have Brock REALLY hurt Bryan, and then at WrestleMania you can tell the story of an injured Bryan having to overcome the odds of a beastly 100% WWE World Heavyweight Champion in Brock Lesnar. Hang on, this was only the second hour main event spot? Hopefully you have these two get a RAW closing segment before WrestleMania. Otherwise this rivalry could come off as an afterthought in the eyes of viewers. Chris Jericho’s Highlight Reel did the job, I suppose. Social Media quote, came off as a bit forced. I dunno, I didn’t really feel the interaction between Chris Jericho and Wade Barrett – but then again Jericho has an abysmal sense of humour in the year 2014. Maybe in 2001 it was good, I dunno. This match is low on my list for things to look forward to at WrestleMania…and hopefully Barrett retains the Intercontinental Championship. Ryback defeating Alberto Del Rio was fine. Are there even any plans for these two at WrestleMania!? I wonder how long Del Rio’s sticking around, he wasn’t thought of as much here. I was surprised to see the Hardys and the Wyatt Family get the last match on RAW, but it’s cool with the WWE Tag Team Championship on the line. The cheap out by Erick Rowan and Luke Harper was nice to see, but the involvement from Goldust and Cody Rhodes and the Usos was strange. It seems to set up a four-way tag team bout for the future, but I’m questioning why the other two teams are involved in this angle. Finally, another exchange between The Rock and John Cena in the closing segment, it was fine for what it was. This is a match you’ve played with since its’ inception, but because it’s a match that’s been played out (and overdone) on television in real life, it’s only going to appear as passable and less important to me. I’m hoping that it doesn’t main event WrestleMania XXX. Anyway, a strong episode of RAW as far as hype goes. The machine rolls on with a month until the biggest show of the calendar year.

REPLY TO ME, RYAN REPLY TO ME, RYAN PAIGE IS UGLY AF, RYAN HEY, RYAN. ARE YOU FINISHED WITH THOSE ERRANDS THAT'S WHAT YOU SOUND LIKE, BITCH. These make-believe fans better be happy that they got CM Punk in Chicago in 2014 and we didn't. He'll probably get fed up soon and leave anyways. Especially since at WrestleMania, he's gone from wrestling Stone Cold Steve Austin, to becoming WWE Champion, to MAKING ROMAN REIGNS LOOK STRONG! I am looking forward to Punk/Roman, though. I actually have enjoyed your approach to Reigns' push. A great way to kick things off with Punk getting a victory over Antonio Cesaro in what would have been a hot bout with the Chicago audience. You know what else is going to be great in Chicago? King of the Ring. #CheapPlug. STUPID ZIGGLER! SETH METAL IS GONNA  YOU UP! Aw, Big Show has feelings. What a teddy bear. Kofi Kingston W/ The New Nation and Bo Dallas? Bo isn't recognized as a member of the group? Racist. A solid win for Sheamus, though, to continue what has been a very bizarre storyline. I really don't see the faction lasting beyond WrestleMania. Oh, look. The Authority. A good promo from them to address the ognoing situation with Randy Orton and NEVERMIND THAT SH*T! HERE COMES AMBROSE! A well done, chaotic scene with Ambrose attempting to extract revenge. He'll be officially back on the roster soon enough, and I would hope that he comes out on top in the rivalry with The Authority. Paige defeating Kaitlyn, good. Talent over tits. Well, most of the time. Not saying Kaitlyn isn't talented. Oh, HI AJ LEE! And....she just skipped around. An odd occurrence, but I suppose that it does fit her character. No doubt we're getting Paige/AJ at WrestleMania. Should be a great match that won't see any brutality involved. Who would ever do that? Definitely not me. Nope. I would say, "Poor Zack Ryder," but I really don't care. Maybe Bray Wyatt should have had a more competitive match. This is the kind of build that would have been fine if he were just debuting, but not when he is about to challenge The Undertaker at WrestleMania. Hulk Hogan has a big announcement next week? BROOKE HOGAN IS GOING TO NXT, BROTHER! No, she's not. I do like that Big Show was chosen by Paul Heyman to be Bryan Danielson's opponent. A bit of a nod to their 2002/2003 partnership. Speaking of that time period, WELP! HERE COMES THE PAIN! Wow, surprised that Danielson was able to get the upper hand tonight. Makes me believe that next week, Lesnar will get his moment to stand tall and leave Danielson's status for WrestleMania in question. An entertaining edition of The Highlight Reel, which I legitimately almost referred to as Talk is Jericho. A rematch with Wade Barrett seems inevitable, but I do hope to see him retain the Intercontinental Championship. Did #BarrettIsAnAssClown trend? Ryback defeating Alberto Del Rio, meh. A basic match to keep both guys relevant on the Road to WrestleMania. RAZOR RAMON, CHICO! Another match between The Hardy Boyz and The Wyatt Family? Meh, at least the result was ineteresting with The Usos, Cody Rhodes and Goldust getting involved to likely set up a big Tag Team Championship match for WrestleMania. Here's your regular reminder that I want to see main event Cody. Lastly, an incredible segment between The Rock and John Cena to build their (hopefully) once in a lifetime match at WrestleMania XXX. It was interesting to see Cena basically play the heel here. A great edition of Raw overall, continuing to set the stage for WrestleMania. But seriously. Did #BarrettIsAnAssClown trend? Will edit later to include SmackDown and Raw if it is posted before then. |

- 30 more days, 1 more month until WrestleMania 30 in your diary, 30 days more until the 30th Anniversary of WrestleMania, 30 Years of WrestleMania and also a great Hall of Fame class with Ultimate Warrior headlining and Razor Ramon Scott Hall in this class I wonder who else will be joining their class as far as the 2014 WWE Hall of Fame goes?
- But I also can't wait until this Monday on RAW and why? Because of Hogan's big announcement that he is going to make, here is hoping he makes the announcement for the 1st Ever Annual Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal with the winner getting the Andre the Giant Trophy

I like that you opened with Dolph Ziggler. It makes the Dolph Ziggler/Seth Rollins feud seem like a big deal. I'm always a fan of fun six man tags like this, so I enjoyed this one. Good job not having Dolph or Seth eat a pin. Derrick Bateman and Tamina is a weird combo. Also, she's NXT Women's Champion? The ? Bateman win was obvious. Great hour one main event to get Bryan Danielson a win heading into WrestleMania. I'm still not sure how I feel about it being a Hell in a Cell though. I know it goes to their past but still. Well, that was a solid promo that helped to sell the match. It's tough to book this since Brock isn't around much and, as much as I love Bryan, I don't know if he'd be able to sell this on his own for a long period of time. I wonder when Antonio Cesaro will cash in Money in the Bank. Solid win for him though. While I prefer the "Anti-Diva", I appreciate that you chose to go an original route with the Commonwealth stuff. AJ/Paige should be good, but Ryan ed that feud up for everyone else. Short Batista promo, but it got the point across. Big main event and having the Intercontinental Champion involved is good for the title. I assume, if it hasn't been announced yet, that we're getting Wade Barrett/Chris Jericho at WrestleMania. Wade going over would be big. Ending with the big Roman Reigns/CM Punk brawl was a nice touch until you went ALL IN and had him get hit by a ing car! What is this, Survivor Series 1999? Good episode. |

 MARCH 10, 2014 FROM THE FEDEX FORUM IN MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE
The signature opening for WWE airs before coming live inside of the FedEx Forum from Memphis, Tennessee! Michael Cole, Jerry 'The King' Lawler and John Bradshaw Layfield welcome everyone to the show where tonight, it is what Triple H is calling 'Authority Appreciation Night'. JBL makes the comment that it is a well deserved honor! "Oh, please!" Lawler rebuttals, to which Layfield tells him he will only be nice to him since they are in Memphis. Cole notes that not only will we have 'Authority Appreciation Night' but the host of WrestleMania XXX, Hulk Hogan, is in the building and will be making a big announcement! As for tonight's main event, it will be Bryan Danielson taking on his former rival, Roman Reigns.
'King of Kings' hits, the audience groaning in displeasure as Triple H makes his way out atop the stage along with his wife, Stephanie McMahon. In tow comes Mark Henry and Batista and the four make their way down and in to the ring, security soon following out from the back and surrounding the ring. Hunter takes a microphone with a big smile across his face. "Ladies and gentlemen, tonight is the night! Tonight is the night to celebrate! Celebrate The Authority's rightful reign of power in Authority Appreciation Night!" He is met with some strong boos and wags his finger, saying that isn't the sound of appreciation - it sounds more like 'Yay!' or more popularly, 'Yes! Yes! Yes!' The fans chant back 'No! No! No!' wisely, leaving Triple H glaring out to the Memphis crowd. "Whether you want to show your appreciation or not for The Authority, this is Authority Appreciation night and on behalf of The Authority, I hand this microphone over to Mark Henry first." He hands it over to the World's Strongest an and gives a long, unnecessary applause. Henry looks to Stephanie and Hunter says he has always been a guy that didn't know what he was going to do next. "But The Authority has made me feel like I have a purpose and has made me feel like I can do whatever I want! I can smash any fool's head in if he comes up to me... and Hunter, consider your favor to me paid off, because you've made me feel important and that's enough for me." He smiles and hands the microphone off to Batista, whom says he has known Triple H for a long time, noting how he got his big break in the WWE under his tutelage as a part of Evolution. "I've become a multi-time World Champion and while you and I have been from the high of best of friends to the low of worst enemies, it has all come together as one of the best partnerships in not just the WWE, but in the entire world. Without you, Hunter, I wouldn't be The Animal and I wouldn't be the face of this company." The Memphis crowd shows their clear disagreement, booing heavily at Batista as he hands the microphone back over to Triple H, whom with a smile says it feels incredible to be appreciated like this. "I know these guys aren't the only ones that appreciate The Authority, so any of you guys in the back feel free to come on down here and join in!" Hunter gestures up to the stage, getting no response. He makes another call out for somebody to show their appreciation and, moments after, a familiar car crash noise is heard! The FedEx Forum erupts as Mick Foley makes his way out from the back, staring down at the ring and giving a big thumbs up to the crowd, whom breaks out in to a chant of his last name.
The Authority is livid as The Hardcore Legend gives a 'bang bang!' to the delight of the crowd, Hunter demanding to know what he is doing here. "I've come here to show my appreciation, of course!" Foley says with a cheesy grin. "I'm here to thank you, Triple H, for taking care of Raw while I've been out since you, well, took me out..." The crowd boos as Foley refers to the titantron, the replay from the January 27 episode of Raw, where Triple H would attack Foley with a vicious beat down that culminated with not only a Pedigree, but multiple sledgehammer shots to the head and back. Back live, the WWE Universe boos as Foley looks back down to the ring. "Since you did that, Hunter, you've been abusing your power. You've been making demands and twists and turns and you keep trying to make this creation! You have this vision but that's the thing... it's all your vision, not there's." He points out to the crowd, getting a positive reception for the remark. He even gives a plug by noting it is the vision of the people in Memphis, Tennessee. He gives a thumbs up again for the classic cheap pop, continuing on by saying that he was brought in to power as Commissioner by Vince McMahon because he knows how to run things around here. "And now I'm back and I'm back to reclaim my role as Commissioner!" To another ovation, Foley smiles as The Authority loses it inside the ring. Hunter goes to respond but Foley tells him he doesn't have a choice! "You were named the interim Commissioner because the WWE was left with no choice. Interim! Not permanent... just like, this man's time fired was only interim, because I've brought him back! I've brought him back and at WrestleMania XXX, Hunter, you're going to be facing him one on one! Ladies and gentleman, Dean! Ambrose!" Foley steps aside as the arena explodes, the Lunatic Fringe's theme music hitting as he comes out to the stage with a trash can filled with weapons! He twitches a bit and licks his lips wildly, giving a nod to Foley before running down the ramp - chucking the trash can at the security guards, tons of things flying out and to the floor! Ambrose picks up a stop sign and cracks it over the head of multiple guards and drops one of them with a kendo stick shot to the knees! Ambrose rolls in to the ring but The Authority manages to get out of the ring in time, staggering their way towards the rampway. Ambrose marches all around the ring, hopping on to the second turnbuckle to stare the group down. He twirls his kendo stick and points it towards Hunter. The Lunatic Fringe is officially back and he gets Triple H at WrestleMania!
Commercial Break
Returning, the commentary team goes over the huge opening to the show where Triple H was trying to hold 'Authority Appreciation Night', only to be interrupted by returning Commissioner Mick Foley. The Hardcore Legend would go on to announce the re-hiring of Dean Ambrose and inform Hunter that they would be facing at WrestleMania! Live, in the backstage area, Ambrose and Foley are seen talking with each other. "You know, Dean, you remind me a lot of some guy named Cactus Jack." Foley says with a smile, saying that at WrestleMania he wants to make that match between him and Triple H a No Holds Barred match! The crowd pops in the background, Ambrose snickering and patting Foley on the shoulder. "I won't let you down, brother. I'm gonna smash Triple H's head in like he did yours... the only difference being he won't be coming back!" He heads off with a smile, Foley telling him to 'have a nice day'.
THE RHODES BROTHERS DEF. THE HARDY BOYZ » The bell rings, Jeff starting off with Cody. They both show their fast paced ability, Rhodes hitting a Disaster Kick out of nowhere to get a two count. Jeff mounts a comeback and begins to make frequent tags with Matt, keeping momentum on their side. Goldust makes a blind tag, however, and smashes Matt with a clothesline, leading to a near fall. He and Matt each get multiple two counts, the latter going for the Twist of Fate only for Goldust to shove him away and tag in Cody before dropping Matt with The Final Cut! Jeff comes in to the ring and ducks a clothesline from Rhodes and hits Whisper in the Wind on Goldust. He pops right back up to the Disaster Kick, however, causing him to spill out of the ring. Cody lets Matt rise before dropping him with a brutal Cross Rhodes right in the middle of the ring! He hooks both legs up for the three.
The crowd boos as Cody gets back on to his feet, being rejoined by Goldust. They stand over Matt and drag him back up, shoving him in to the corner and hitting him with a clothesline each. The fans keep showing their displeasure, Jeff coming in to the ring only to be dropped to the mat as well. The Rhodes Brothers stand over the two, staring down. They give a nod to each other and exit the ring satisfied, Jeff and Matt left cringing on the mat in pain.
Commercial Break
Returning, AJ Lee's music hits to a solid pop from the crowd - the 'crazed' Diva skipping her way out from the back. Inside the ring, Cameron stands waiting, and AJ comes in to the ring with a microphone in her hand. "At the Slammy Awards in December, I was honored with being Diva of the Year... only to have that moment taken away from me by... Paige. Now, I could just demand my rematch for my Diva's Championship right here tonight, but instead, I'd rather just beat the crap out of this nobody and make Paige watch what will happen to her one of these days." She hands the mike over to the official and he hands it off to ringside, calling for the bell.
AJ LEE DEF. CAMERON » The match begins with Cameron trash talking AJ, only to be blasted with a vicious kick to the face! She begins a beat down by throwing Cameron to the mat and slams her head off of it repeatedly. Cameron tries to fight back and hits a suplex. She pulls Lee back up but gets shoved back and locked into the Black Widow, leaving her with no choice but to tap out quickly.
AJ lets go of the hold and drops on to both knees, a crazed smile across her face. She slowly rises on to her feet, motioning for the Diva's Championship around her waist while calling out Paige's name. She steps out of the ring and begins to skip around it before bringing her way all the way up the ramp and atop the stage. She turns back towards the ring and looks around, being smashed from behind by Paige with the title belt! AJ's body immediately goes limp as Paige stands over her. "YOU WANT THIS BACK, AJ!? YOU WANT THIS BACK!? YOU'LL NEVER GET IT BACK FROM ME! EVER! YOU HEAR ME!? EVER!?" She grabs on to the hair, ripping out a lock of it! Paige holds it up with a glow in her eye, backing her way through the curtains with a breaking laugh.
A graphic appears for Hulk Hogan, as he will be making his announcement in regards to WrestleMania - next!
Commercial Break
The familiar 'Real American' entrance music of Hulk Hogan hits and the Memphis crowd explodes! The Immortal himself emerges from the back and struts across the stage, getting the crowd more fired up than before. He makes his way down and in to the ring, getting the fans built up some more by cupping his ear to each side of the arena repeatedly. Hogan chuckles, applauding the WWE Universe before taking a microphone from ringside. "Well y'know something, brother!" He shouts to a pop. "It was thirty years ago now that I teamed with Mr. T to beat 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper and Paul Orndorff in the main event of the first WrestleMania. A year later, I beat King Kong Bundy! But what everyone likes to talk about and what everybody remembers about me the most is WrestleMania III." He nods and says that was the night he picked Andre the Giant up over his head and slammed him to the mat! The crowd pops for the mention, Hogan saying that everyone can go back and re-live those moments on the WWE Network for the low price of $9.99. He nods, saying that Andre the Giant is part of the reason he is out here tonight. "When I was sitting back at home, brothers, I was watching my match with Andre the Giant and I was thinking. I was thinking how groundbreaking that match was! How all those 90,000 Hulkamaniacs at the Silverdome were watching in awe as I slammed him... and it got the Hulkster thinking." He nods, saying he got thinking real hard. "Without Andre the Giant, there wouldn't be Hulkamania! So at WrestleMania XXX, in honor of one of the greatest superstars in the history of the WWE, we're going to have ourselves the first ever Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, brother!" The WWE Universe cheers for the announcement as Hogan says that the winner will not only receive the Andre the Giant trophy, but he will receive the honor, prestige and privilege. "You see, brother, the winner gets to..." He is cut off by the theme music of Seth Rollins, causing the electricity in the arena to be replaced by boos.
Rollins makes his way down and in to the ring, stepping right up in front of Hogan with a cocky smile across his face. "Hulk Hogan! How's it goin', old man?" Rollins questions, saying that he is just joking. He pats Hulk on the shoulder but Hogan pulls away quickly, staring at Rollins. "Whoa, whoa, whoa! Relax, Hulkster, relax. I just couldn't help but think while standing back there as soon as you made the announcement of the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal who would be a better fit for that match than the guy that will become the Undisputed WWE Champion at Extreme Rules?" The fans disagree with their boos, Rollins even going as far to compare himself to Hogan. Before Hulk can respond, however, Dolph Ziggler's music hits to a giant pop - Rollins rolling his eyes immediately. Ziggler marches down to the ring and stands across from Rollins before shaking hands with Hogan. "Did you really just compare yourself to this man?" Ziggler asks with a laugh, calling Rollins an idiot. He says that just because Seth wants a part of this battle royal and would tarnish the legacy of Andre the Giant by winning, he is entering as well! The WWE Universe responds with a pop, being quickly put to a stop as Big Show's music hits next! The World's Largest Athlete marches down to the ring and looks all around the ring. "How can you have a battle royal in memory of Andre the Giant without the giant himself? I'm in and I'm gonna win." Rollins puts his hands up and tells Show to just wait a minute, saying he doesn't think that is fair. Ziggler scoffs, telling Rollins to put his money where his mouth is - if he's so confident in himself because he has a title shot at Extreme Rules, he shouldn't have a problem at WrestleMania. Hogan puts a stop to everything, telling all three of them to hold up. "Obviously, brothers, we got ourselves three top tier competitors ready for the Andre the Giant battle royal. Now, I know it isn't the Hulkster's place to be making matches around here, but I suggest Big Show versus Dolph Ziggler versus Seth Rollins right here, right now, brother!" The WWE Universe approves of the idea, as does Show and Ziggler - Rollins seeming a bit hesitant before agreeing as well. "So what'cha gonna do, brother? When Big Show, Dolph Ziggler, Seth Rollins, the rest of the WWE superstars and memory of Andre the Giant run wild on you at WrestleMania, brother!?" Hogan says with a smile, exiting the ring as it appears we have ourselves a triple threat match set and coming up next!
Commercial Break
DOLPH ZIGGLER DEF. BIG SHOW AND SETH ROLLINS » The bell rings and Rollins steps to the middle of the ring, talking smack to the other two. As they step forward, however, Seth leaps through the ropes and out of the ring. Ziggler hits a kick to Show's leg and begins an attack, only to be overpowered and chucked in to the corner. He gets a huge slap across the chest, followed up by a military press. Show turns around to double knees from the top rope form Rollins, however, leading to a two count. He gets frustrated and begins to tee off on both men, only to have Ziggler mount a huge comeback. He hits the Zig Zag but Show breaks up the pin. A commercial break follows, after which there is total domination from Show. Ziggler and Rollins surprisingly show some team work and take Show out of the ring. Rollins immediately goes for the Curb Stomp, Ziggler managing to avoid it and hit the Zig Zag. He drapes his arm over Rollins, but only gets a two count! Show slowly makes his way back in to the ring and chucks Ziggler in to the corner, pulling Rollins up and lifting him for the chokeslam - only for it to be reversed in to a huge spinning DDT! Seth gets back up and follows up with a giant Curb Stomp to the World's Largest Athlete! Before he can go for the pin, however, Ziggler runs up to him and throws him through the ropes! He covers Show for the one, two, three.
Ziggler rolls out of the ring as he gets met with a positive response, Rollins trying to scramble in the ring to get at him. Dolph smiles and points to his head at Rollins, whom slams his hands in to the mat repeatedly. "That was my win, damn it! THAT WAS MY WIN!" He shouts, getting on to his feet and kicking the turnbuckles. Ziggler makes his way towards the back, fist raised in the air.
Commercial Break
Returning, John Cena's music hits and he makes his way down to the ring to a very mixed reaction. After taking some time to gaze around the arena, he takes a microphone and runs his hand across his head in thought. "Last week... right here on Raw... The Rock and I met face to face. Because in just about four weeks from now, it'll be me and him going one on one to prove who the better man really is. So, last week, I laid him out by giving him a little Attitude Adjustment." He gets another mixture of cheers and boos, saying that whether people like it or not, cheer him or cheer The Rock he has one thing up on The Rock and that is that he is here each and every night, ready to compete! Before he can say anything more, Curtis Axel's music hits and he comes out to the stage with a microphone of his own. "John, nobody wants to hear you blah, blah, blah about The Rock! But since I am a rare breed of sophistication, brilliance and perfection, I am giving you the opportunity of a life time!" He starts to come down to the ring, claiming that he and The Rock actually have a lot in common. He explains how they are both multi-generation stars and says that both of them weren't taken seriously at first. "But John, if you want a warm up right now, I'm going to do as The Rock did... establish myself by beating the top dog with ease!" Cena chuckles at Axel, asking if he is serious - to which Curtis nods. Cena proceeds to remove his hat and shirt, ready for the challenge!
JOHN CENA DEF. CURTIS AXEL » The bell rings and Axel talks some smack, walking right up to Cena and being lifted off the mat! Cena drops him with the Attitude Adjustment and hooks both legs up for possibly the easiest three count of his career!
The crowd, seemingly delighted, pops for the quick match as Cena gets on to his feet, clapping his hands together. The official raises his arm up as the victor but Cena doesn't seem to be done, looking in to the camera as he pulls Axel back on to his feet. "Watch closely, Dwayne!" He says before giving Axel a 'You can't see me' followed by the Attitude Adjustment once again. Cena marches around the ring, getting the crowd fired up as he seems ready to go for his match against The Rock tonight, but has to wait until April 6th.
A graphic appears for the main event still to come later on between Roman Reigns and Bryan Danielson.
Commercial Break
Back from break, The Commonwealth stands in the middle of the ring together, Barrett holding a microphone. "Tonight, I am extending an opportunity to any superstar in the back that thinks they are worthy of facing me. I won't be putting my Intercontinental Championship on the line, but if somebody truly believes they can beat me, they should have no shame facing me without the title on the line." He gives a smile and looks up the ramp, Chris Jericho's music hitting to the delight to the crowd. However, he comes out wearing non-wrestling attire and stays atop the stage, telling Barrett not to worry about having to face him again and likely lose. "So, assclown, I got somebody else!" He points to the entrance and out comes AJ Styles! Back after a two week absence, Styles makes his way down the ramp - Michael Cole noting that his absence was due to his wife's pregnancy as she has a child due soon, congratulating him in the process.
AJ STYLES (W/CHRIS JERICHO) DEF. INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION WADE BARRETT (W/THE COMMONWEALTH) IN A NON-TITLE MATCH » The match starts and Barrett tries to say something to Jericho, allowing Styles to splash in to him in the corner. He gets near fall after near fall on Barrett and surprises him, getting blasted with a Pele Kick that knocks him to the outside. AJ follows out after him and gets tossed face first in to the steel post, leading to a commercial break with Barrett warning Jericho. Upon the return, Barrett keeps Styles grounded and bashes him with a huge clothesline followed by the Winds of Change, leading to a count of two. He gets frustrated and starts to argue with the official. As Styles gets back up, he goes for the Bullhammer Elbow but misses - allowing AJ to hit him with a big time dropkick and swing momentum his way. He goes for a top rope splash but Damien Sandow hops on to the apron and shakes the ropes. He drops down but the referee notices, storming over and tossing not just Sandow, but the entire Commonwealth out from ringside! They all begin to argue, especially Sandow, and they finally comply with the orders. With the referee distracted with the group, Barrett hits a low blow on Styles and sets up for the Bullhammer again, backing up. Jericho, however, pulls on his leg and trips him down to the mat! Barrett gets back up furiously, turning back to Jericho and yelling at him. "STAY OUT OF THIS, JERICHO! I'M WARNING YOU!" He turns back around, enraged, getting caught with a hard kick to the gut followed by the Styles Clash! AJ rolls him over for the pinfall and gets the three.
Styles pops back on to his feet, arms spread out in signature fashion. Jericho stands from the outside with a smile across his face and he applauds Styles, even giving him a handshake before taking the Intercontinental Championship and getting in to the ring. He stands over Barrett and raises it up, showing it to the crowd to a positive response - clearly not ready to give up on his pursuit.
Commercial Break
The signature of The Wyatt Family hits and the lights go out in the arena, the patriarch of the group Bray Wyatt appearing on the titantron from behind his lantern, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan standing behind him. "We're here..." He says, blowing the light out. The trio proceed to make their slow and eerie entrance, coming down to the end of the ramp with Bray taking a seat in his rocking chair. He blows his lantern out and the lights remain dark, coming back up moments later with the three standing the ring staring out in the distance. Harper holds a bag in his hand and gives it to his leader, Wyatt laughing slowly - getting louder and louder. "UNDERTAKER! WE ARE JUST WEEKS AWAY, MAN... Weeks away from your 'immortality' being exposed. Being exposed for it is not the truth! But I am..." He mutters a few things, saying that this is his mission. He claims that all things good must come to an end and the only way good things end is by the way of evil. "I am that necessary evil to put you down, Undertaker!" He shouts, spreading his arms out. He drops the bag to the mat and collapses on to both knees, leaning his face down towards it with a look of glee across his face. "And now, Undertaker... I hold something very dear and near towards your heart..." He slowly undoes the bag, opening it up to reveal the signature mask of Kane! "Oh my God, that... that's the mask of The Undertaker's brother..." Cole stutters on commentary, Wyatt laughing while rocking back and forth with the mask clutched to his chest. He rubs it against his face and breaths heavily, glaring right in to it. "You ended the career of your brother, Undertaker... but I... ended his suffering... I followed him straight to the depths of Hell and I ripped the mask he hid behind! I RIPPED THE MASK AND TOOK IT AS MY TROPHY AND NOW, UNDERTAKER, KANE'S SOUL BELONGS TO ME AND YOU ARE THY BROTHER'S KEEPER SO COME ON AND STRIKE YOUR VENGEANCE DOWN UPON ME! STRIKE YOUR VENGEANCE DOWN UPON ME BEFORE I DO SO TO YOU AT WRESTLEMANIA! COME ON, UNDERTAKER!" He marches back and forth across the ring, holding the mask high up over his head.
After a long period of silence, the lights go down and the signature gong of The Undertaker hits to a huge ovation! The gongs continue and smoke begins to fill across the stage, druids slowly emerging from the back with a casket in their hands. Wyatt leans across the ropes, a curious look across his face. The druids stand the casket up atop the stage and wander their way towards the back, leaving everyone confused. Wyatt steps out to the apron and throws his hands up with the mask still in his grip. "Come on, Dead Man!" He calls up the ramp. "I'm waiting for you! WE'RE ALL! WAITING! FOR YOU!" He drops down from the apron and is followed by Harper and Rowan, the three starting to go up the ramp carefully. As they get within ten feet of the casket, fire explodes from the stage! The door to the casket slowly falls open, only to reveal nothing inside. Wyatt steps up to it with a look of wonder, but his expression changes to joy as he collapses to his knees, running his hand across it. He laughs hysterically before holding the mask up above his head. "Is that all you have for me, Undertaker!? IS THAT ALL YOU HAVE!?" He falls back in to a sitting position, continuing to crack up over the sight - not phased in the least bit.
Commercial Break
ANTONIO CESARO DEF. THE MIZ » The match begins and Cesaro completely runs through Miz, getting two count after two count after some hard slams. Miz rakes the eyes out of nowhere, following it up with a hard forearm to the face. He gets some momentum going but Cesaro comes right back with a hard clothesline. He sets for the Swing but Miz rolls through, throwing him in to the ropes. Cesaro backs up to the Skull Crushing Finale grasp, but manages to escape it and throw Miz down - swinging him to the delight of the crowd fourteen times! He flexes and gives a yell as Miz gets up, hitting him with the Neutralizer. He hooks both legs up for the three.
Cesaro rises back up and has his arm raised by the official, twirling his hand to the crowd - asking if they want him to swing Miz again. They cheer and he takes Miz by the legs, looking around the arena before lifting him up and swinging around eleven more times! He releases and takes his Money in the Bank briefcase, raising it up high over his head.
Coming up next, the fourth inductee in to the Hall of Fame Class of 2014 will be announced! Also, still to come later on tonight in the main event, Bryan Danielson versus Roman Reigns!
Commercial Break
Returning at ringside, the commentary team talks about how so far in the Class of 2014 Hall of Fame we have The Ultimate Warrior, Jake 'The Snake' Roberts and Scott Hall announced thus far. Tonight, the fourth inductee is announced. A promo video proceeds to air, starting off with the eerie 'OOH YES!' of Paul Bearer. Highlights from his historic, memorable and unique managerial career are shown. Paul Bearer will be inducted in to the Hall of Fame by WWE legend Kane, the night before WrestleMania XXX!
BO DALLAS (W/THE NEW NATION) DEF. UNITED STATES CHAMPION SHEAMUS VIA COUNT OUT IN A NON-TITLE MATCH » The bell rings and Sheamus chases Dallas around the ring, eventually catching him on the apron. He pulls him across the ropes with a smile and clubs across the chest repeatedly! The referee gets to a count of four and he lets Dallas collapse to the floor. He steps out after him but The New Nation talk some trash, causing the United States Champion to grow distracted and share words with R-Truth. In the heat of things, Dallas manages to get back in the ring as the referee reaches a count of ten.
Sheamus turns to look at Dallas in the ring, eyes widened with rage. Before he can get in, however, the rest of The New Nation strikes! They beat the United States Champion down with stomps and Truth mounts on top of him with punches, refusing to let up. Dallas tries to intervene and stop things, only to be shoved down by Truth. "I BO-LIEVE YOU NEEDA KEEP YOURSELF OUT OF THIS!" He shouts before planting Sheamus with the Axe Kick. The New Nation all rise, raising their fists in the air. Hesitant at first, Bo joins with a huge smile across his face.
Commercial Break
Batista's music hits upon the return and the FedEx Forum fills with boos. The Animal makes his way out with a briefcase in one hand and a microphone in the other. He comes down and in to the ring, telling the crowd to shut up to their displeasure. "We all know why I'm out here... I'm out here to make peace with Randy Orton... and I don't got all day. So Randy, get your ass out here and accept this peace offering on behalf of The Authority and make Authority Appreciation night complete. Come on." After not getting a response, Batista gets a bit frustrated and demands Orton come down again. He rips off his sunglasses and leans across the ropes, making one more demand. Finally, Orton's theme music hits and he makes his way out atop the stage, staring down at the ring while receiving a pop from the fans. He comes in to the squared circle, staring his former partner down. "Look, Randy," Batista says, shaking his head. "I'm not gonna sugar coat this. The Authority wants you to back off, so here... take the money." He holds out the briefcase, Orton staring down at it.
The fans break in to a 'No!' chant, Orton grabbing a hold of the briefcase and raising an eyebrow. He pulls up his own microphone, asking Batista if he is serious. "You think that after you treated me like second fiddle for months on end, acted like I didn't matter and then beat the hell out of me you can just buy me out?" He squints right at Dave, shaking his head. He runs his hand across his head and paces back and forth before smiling, saying that he will be more than happy to take this money and go home. The Memphis crowd boos, only to turn to cheers as Orton throws the briefcase to the mat and hits the RKO to Batista right on top of it! He pops on to his feet and flails around wildly, storming over to the corner and climbing on to the second turnbuckle. He stares out to the crowd, licking his lips with a big grin. He cranks his neck and drops down, picking the briefcase back up and opening it - revealing there to be nothing in it! He takes a moment to glare at it, beginning to laugh. He throws it back down and backs off to the corner, kneeling down a bit. Batista starts to stir, getting blasted with the punt kick! Orton storms right across the ring to the ropes and leans over them, looking crazed at what he has done. He spins around and stares at the motionless body of The Animal, slowly making his way to the ropes and leaving having made a statement towards Batista and The Authority here tonight!
Backstage, Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman are seen walking down the corridors together, Heyman pumping his client up. Reigns goes one on one with the number one contender to the Undisputed WWE Championship, Bryan Danielson, next!
Commercial Break
BRYAN DANIELSON DEF. ROMAN REIGNS (W/PAUL HEYMAN) VIA DISQUALIFICATION » The bell rings and Danielson fires off kicks right away, getting caught and slammed to the mat. The two go back and forth with their contrasting styles, Bryan managing to hit air goat and begin a 'Yes!' chant - leading to a commercial break. Upon the return, Danielson continues to unleash his fury of kicks and high flying moves. He is blasted with the Superman Punch out of nowhere, however, leading to a near fall for Reigns! He gets fired up and begins a beat down, repeatedly getting in trouble with the official. As he does, Danielson hits the running knee to the face! The crowd goes wild but Reigns rolls out of the ring with some guidance via Heyman. Bryan takes his time to regroup and goes out after him, only to be struck in the gut with a steel chair! The official calls for the bell.
Reigns drills Bryan with another shot across the back and Danielson rolls in to the ring. Reigns follows after him by the orders of Heyman, whom also steps between the ropes. "BRING HIM THE PAIN!" Heyman shouts, Reigns lifting the chair up high over his head only for 'Cult of Personality' to hit, a big pop coming from the crowd! CM Punk comes hobbling down the ramp with a steel chair of his own, rolling in to the ring and stumbling towards Reigns. He ducks a shot and clubs him in the chest with the chair, Heyman screaming in shock. Punk continues to tee off, sending Reigns through the ropes. He turns back to Heyman, stepping up to him and raising the chair - Paul dropping in to a sitting position in the corner, pleading with him to not do anything. Punk turns to see Reigns stumbling over the barricade and takes his attention to him, dropping the chair and rolling back out of the ring, following his rival through the crowd.
Heyman clutches his chest and gets on to his feet slowly in the corner, Danielson getting on to his feet as well slowly. Groggily, he looks at Heyman and slowly picks up the steel chair. Paul begins to scramble, calling for a microphone from ringside - being handed one quickly by Justin Roberts. "BRYAN! BRYAN! HOLD ON! HOLD ON! WE DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS!" He shouts, crouching down in the corner once again. "You don't have to pick a fight with me, Mr. Danielson..." He says with a gulp. "Instead, you can pick a fight with BRRRRROCK! LESSSNNNARRRR!" He grows a grin across his face as the Undisputed WWE Champion's music hits to the roaring WWE Universe. Lesnar emerges from the back, jogging in place with a big smile and the titles over his shoulders. He marches down the ramp and stops near the ring, dropping both his belts. Before he can hop in to the ring, however, Danielson comes flying through the ropes and takes him to the floor! He unleashes with strikes but Lesnar throws him off, getting on to his feet and catching Bryan - slamming him back first in to the steel post! Brock stands over him with a sickening grin, dragging Bryan up on to his feet once again and tossing him shoulder first in to the steel steps, then by the throat over the announce table! "Come on, Brock, knock it off!" Lawler shouts from commentary, causing Lesnar to shove him to the floor! He removes the cover of the desk and pulls Danielson up one more time, lifting him on to his shoulders. With a primal scream, he hits the F5 right through the announce table! Heyman struts right over with a big smile, holding both title belts and handing them over to his client. Lesnar raises both belts in the air as multiple officials and medics come down to ringside to check on Danielson, with Lesnar and Heyman standing over him in what they hope will be the same image come WrestleMania XXX. Monday Night Raw comes to an end, the number one contender motionless.

| After taking part in the main event of the very first WrestleMania and
building one of the greatest careers in the history of sports entertainment,
Hulk Hogan returns thirty years later to be the official host for
the event he helped build to what it is today: WrestleMania XXX! | In a dream match that has been talked about for years now, the dream
finally becomes a reality. With the challenge being laid down by
The Rock, John Cena accepted the chance at facing 'The Great One' in
the ultimate dream match. Which star will prevail over the other? |  |  | Hell in a Cell against Brock Lesnar nearly ended the career of Bryan
Danielson last year. However, Bryan would make his triumphant return
to win his second Royal Rumble - and, crazily, suggest a rematch inside
Hell in a Cell against 'The Beast Incarnate' for the Undisputed Title. | The Undertaker would return last August, only to become the next victim
to Bray Wyatt and The Wyatt Family. Another return following No Way
Out would result in the battle of the two master manipulators being made.
The streak is on the line, will Bray Wyatt put the one in 21-1? | 
| 
| Triple H re-claimed his power by assaulting Commissioner Mick Foley and
in the process, continuously punished Dean Ambrose - a nuisance of
his for the better part of a year - and even fired him. Upon Foley's return,
however, he would re-hire Ambrose and pit him against 'The Game'. | In a rivalry brewed by CM Punk's former mentor, Paul Heyman, Roman
Reigns continued to look to make his mark in the WWE by costing CM
Punk his Undisputed WWE Championship match. Punk would cost Reigns
the Royal Rumble, and now they face at WrestleMania XXX.
|
| WrestleMania XXX host Hulk Hogan made the announcement for this
special battle royal contest in memorial of Andre the Giant, one of the
most recognizable superstars in WWE history. Only one man can be the
last man standing among the likes of Big Show, Seth Rollins and more. |

- So glad that the WWE Commissioner Mick Foley is back and if anything he is back to take his power as Commissioner back, thank God that there is a God and now that Foley is back in charge his first order of business is re-hiring Dean Ambrose reinstating Ambrose over-ruling the COO Triple H and Ambrose now that he has his job back he comes back with weapons galore trying to get at Triple H, Batista, Henry and Stephanie but takes out security, what a moment both Ambrose and Foley are back thank the Lord because I was starting to get sick of The Authority's reign of terror
- Triple H vs Dean Ambrose, the match is set for WrestleMania 30 and it is not just a regular match it is a No Holds Barred Match but I wonder who that favors more? Does it favor the COO more or does it favor Ambrose? Either way I wonder what the COO plans on doing now especially now that he has lost his power again since Foley took it back?
- The Rhodes Brothers it seems have come into their own now as heels and ever since their heel turn I feel like they have become more successful as a tag team and it shows here in this match with them beating an established team like The Hardy Boyz beating Matt and Jeff, I wonder what this means as far as the WWE Tag Team Championship division goes?
- AJ is back for one thing and one thing only and that is the WWE Divas Championship and AJ is the longest-reigning WWE Divas Champion of all time so naturally she feels that the WWE Divas Championship is her property that it is her baby and she wants it back and of course she wants to take out Paige as revenge for what Paige did to her costing her months of her career I get that but I wonder if Paige the WWE Divas Champion will find some way of getting to AJ before AJ can get to her?
- AJ in her first match back from injury she manages to beat Cameron, if anything it wasn't like this match was even close, yes Cameron got in a little offense but really this match was always meant for AJ to go over and she should I mean it is her return after all but AJ gets blindsided by the WWE Divas Champion Paige from behind, where did Paige come from? Paige attacks AJ leaving her laying, it may seem Paige is afraid of AJ especially to attack her like that from behind rather than doing it face to face
- Hogan's big announcement is as I knew it would be, him announcing the 1st Ever Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal and cue Hogan being interrupted by Rollins the #1 Contender for the WWE Undisputed Championship at Extreme Rules, I definitely did not expect Rollins to interrupt the Hulkster like that but just goes to show you just how much little respect Rollins has nowadays and Rollins wants in on the battle royal if he ends up entering he could be a favorite and considering he is already #1 Contender for the WWE Undisputed Championship could you imagine if he were to win the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal? Cue Ziggler interrupting Rollins and then Ziggler pretty much making the save for Hogan until Big Show makes his presence felt winning in on the Battle Royal too Big Show should be in it I mean he is a Giant after all and people compare Big Show to Andre already so it is only fitting that Show is in this Battle Royal but also Show is a favorite considering his size and what not
- A Triple Threat between Ziggler, Big Show and Rollins and Ziggler winning the Triple Threat, pretty much stealing the victory right out from under Rollins just when Rollins had the match won, Rollins would have won the match but Ziggler using a trick from out of Rollins' playbook that just goes to show you that Ziggler is not only ready for WrestleMania but that he could be a favorite in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal
- Cena addressing The Rock, I was wondering why the fans weren't shitting on Cena here especially after what he did to The Rock last week I would have expected Cena to get boos all the way around but he didn't he got a mixed reaction, how does that even happen? Cena should have gotten massive heel heat here but one of these days he will but I am glad that out of anyone to interrupt Cena it was Curtis Axel thank the Lord but Axel he is right everyone is sick of Cena everyone is sick of Cena always playing hero always playing the good guy always being Mr. Nice Guy but glad that Axel brought up that he is a 3rd generation superstar just like The Rock is because Axel is, his father was Mr Perfect Curt Hennig and his grandfather is Larry the Ax Hennig, so here is hoping Axel gets a push in the future
- Cena beating Axel obviously was going to happen but I just didn't expect that to be that fast, the match was over like that I just expected Axel to at least take Cena to the limit or at least get in some offense but he didn't and instead Cena wins, you want to keep Cena as strong as possible heading into Mania especially if he is going to be facing The Rock in Once in a Lifetime but I just hate that Axel had to get shat on in this match like he deserves so much better than what he's getting
- Wade Barrett the WWE Intercontinental Champion facing a returning AJ Styles, I was wondering where AJ Styles has been for the past few weeks? You explain his absence perfectly and it makes sense why he would be gone and AJ in his first match back beats the WWE Intercontinental Champion Wade Barrett all be it he had help from Jericho but still Styles I think he would have won this match regardless I mean it is his return after all but at the same time this plugs Jericho/Barrett even more so that makes me happy, I wonder if AJ Styles will throw his name into the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal? AJ Styles would then have to be the odds on favorite to win that or at least one of the favorites
- Wow now this is mind games taken to a whole new level with Bray Wyatt and The Undertaker, Bray taking Kane's mask essentially taking away Kane's soul I wonder if this means Kane is on his way back if Kane could be making his return to WWE in your diary? But Undertaker his response to Bray Wyatt is druids bringing out the casket and smoke everywhere and when the Wyatts go to check the casket Bray opens it and fire is engulfing the stage and the casket is empty, yes mind games of the supernatural being taken to a whole new level here I wonder just what we can expect on Smackdown this Thursday or on RAW next week?
- Mr. Money in the Bank Cesaro winning yet another match beating Miz, maybe this is the start of Cesaro finally picking up steam before he cashes in his briefcase because Cesaro has until July in your diary to cash in so Cesaro he has had this briefcase all this time and has not cashed in at all, either Cesaro is that patient or maybe he is just biding his time but what is he waiting for? I mean honestly? The man has like 4 more months to cash in his briefcase and knowing Cesaro he can't be that patient, Cesaro is going to have to cash in so can he stop being an idiot about it and just cash in already like we are getting restless here or at least I am
- Paul Bearer being inducted by his son Kane, I love it but I wonder if The Undertaker if he should have been the one to induct Paul
- Bo Dallas beating WWE United States Champion Sheamus, and The New Nation afterwards putting the boots to Sheamus after the match I figured they would with R-Truth putting the exclamation point on this attack but Bo Dallas wanting in on it only to get rejected, I wonder if The New Nation if they are just using him?
- So happy Orton RKOed Batista but also that he ended up punting Batista right in the skull just like Batista deserves, Batista got punted in the skull I wonder if this was your way of writing Batista out? Batista is going to promote Guardians of the Galaxy his movie which comes out in the summer so I wonder if by doing this this was your way of getting Batista out of here to do that but since Orton did that to Batista I wonder where this leaves Orton now as far as WrestleMania goes?
- And in the main event, the 2014 Royal Rumble Match winner Bryan Danielson beating Paul Heyman's other client beating Reigns all be it by DQ doesn't necessarily hurt Reigns but at the same time it doesn't necessarily hurt Danielson either in fact quite the opposite it protects both guys even though Reigns did lose he didn't lose cleanly but if he had then it would have hurt his momentum for sure but then just when Reigns is about to go in on Danielson here comes Punk with the save with Reigns high-tailing it out of here and then Heyman's other client the WWE Undisputed Champion Lesnar showing up and leaving Danielson laying to end the show I wonder just what kind of condition Danielson will be in come WrestleMania 30 come Hell in a Cell?

26 more days until WrestleMania 30, 26 more nights until WrestleMania 30, 3 more weeks until WrestleMania and personally I can't wait because the card looks stacked already because look at the matches we have already:
John Cena vs The Rock (Once in a Lifetime)
WWE Undisputed Championship (Hell in a Cell)- Lesnar (c) vs Danielson
The Undertaker vs Bray Wyatt (22-0 or 21-1)
CM Punk vs Roman Reigns
Triple H vs Dean Ambrose (No Holds Barred)
Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal (30 superstars, 1 winner)
Quite a stacked card and we are only 26 more days away from WrestleMania, I wonder which matches make the WrestleMania 30 Kickoff Show? WWE Tag Team Championships I can see them being defended on the Kick-Off Show but the WWE Divas Championship Match and the WWE Intercontinental Championship Match I can see them being added on to the main show card

WWE Monday Night RAW: Monday 10th March 2014…Triple H kicking off the show was fine, and expected with talking more about Dean Ambrose and Mark Henry and other stuff that I don’t really care about. You oughta try and mix up the formula of these shows a little. Opening promos get so boring to read. Mick Foley interrupting was nice, bringing us a flashback to when Foley and Triple H feuded in 2000. Oh, and Triple H taking Foley out, apparently. I forgot about that. Foley is back as a Commissioner again again again. I guess it’s not bad, as now we have Dean Ambrose and Triple H officially made for WrestleMania XXX at last. Ambrose’s involvement wrapped up the angle nicely – and now to get to the next stage of this rivalry, the build. Some ‘Authority Appreciation Night’ huh? Cody Rhodes and Goldust defeating the Hardys was a surprising result in a strange, face team versus face team to kick off RAW. I was surprised to see Cody Rhodes manage to get a win here, but no complaints with the spotlight on the next generation and youth of the WWE. AJ Lee defeating Cameron was fine, not really much to add to this really. I hate Cameron non-stop. Paige’s attack afterwards was fine, but their WrestleMania XXX match will be so awkward. Hulk Hogan’s promo was good to enter the second hour and officially announce the André the Giant Memorial Trophy, to be revealed in a battle royal as in real life. Seth Rollins, Dolph Ziggler and the Big Show then arriving to make their own points was fine and all, but if anything it only hinted at strong favourites to win – hopefully the result is in actuality surprising. Ziggler defeating Rollins and Show in a triple threat match was probably a fun, if not awkward match. I think that Show would have slowed this one down, personally. Rollins with a temper tantrum adds another dimension to his persona, at least. John Cena’s promo was another factor to play in the long road to Cena facing The Rock at WrestleMania XXX, and I probably found the Curtis Axel interruption funnier than I should have considering that Axel helped trained The Rock for this stretch of matches. Cena with the inevitable win was obvious, but also got Axel a small, comedic role on the show he is rarely ever on. Now, the Commonwealth’s business with Chris Jericho continues…running through the irritatingly overpushed AJ Styles. I just can’t imagine Styles in WWE – and to add to that he’s getting too big a push far too quickly, in my mind. Now AJ beats Wade Barrett the Intercontinental Champion in non-title action: and that’s actually fine because Chris Jericho helped him out. It’s better than a champion losing to a challenger without reason. A roll-up finish would have been more sufficed however. I guess now AJ Styles gets an Intercontinental Championship shot? Here’s a question: is the Styles Clash still in AJ’s repertoire? If so, it shouldn’t be. Not in the WWE. Bray Wyatt and the Wyatt Family’s promo was good, continuing the hype for the Undertaker’s streak match at WrestleMania XXX. Wyatt outsmarting ‘Taker’s mind games was very fun, good writing there…Antonio Cesaro with a win against the Miz was what it was, but didn’t scream excitement during a stretched out three-hour RAW. I hate three hour RAWs, man. Cesaro hasn’t made for much of a Money in the Bank briefcase holder yet, has he? This year’s Hall of Fame class looks stacked already – perhaps a little too much? Bo Dallas beats Sheamus via count-out. Once again the champion looks sucky by losing. Moving on… Batista and Randy Orton’s confrontation in the ring was fine hype for their WrestleMania match – however I wouldn’t have minded to have seen this in a backstage segment or something. Here, it just seemed to go on and on. Finally, Daniel Bryan beating Roman Reigns made for a very strange main event considering the amount of star power this RAW has had. Try to hold back on so many disqualification finishes in the main events of RAW. Nonetheless here, it’s justifiable given the build with CM Punk and Brock Lesnar. I like how this match tied together both rivalries thanks to Paul Heyman’s clients Reigns and WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar. It seemed at the same time though, like too much was going on here. Nonetheless, this was a fairly good episode of RAW. At the same time, it went on FOREVER. You have so much to get over in the next few weeks ready for WrestleMania – but at the same time this RAW was neverending and probably would have bored a viewer in the FedEx Forum attending this show. It’s just a shame that there’s nothing you can do about that, either.

MARCH 13, 2014 FROM THE VERIZON ARENA IN NORTH LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS
The show begins with the WWE signature intro, the cameras coming inside of the Verizon Arena from North Little Rock, Arkansas. Michael Cole and John Bradshaw Layfield give the introduction to the show, where tonight we will hear from Dean Ambrose about his re-hiring by Mick Foley, as well as his big match at WrestleMania against Triple H. Also, Paul Heyman and Roman Reigns are in the arena to address CM Punk.
The theme music of Dean Ambrose hits and the Arkansas crowd roars, the 'Lunatic Fringe' marching his way out from the back and down to the ring with a big, crazed smile across his face. He licks his lips and twitches a bit as he enters the ring, 'Ambrose' being chanted from the crowd. "You know, over the past six months I've gotten on the bad side of Triple H and he has tried to make my life a living hell... well, I got news for you Hunter - my life was already hell before you barged in to it with your real big nose and your fake big wife." He raises his eyebrows and scatters his fingers to the crowd, getting a sharp 'ooh' followed by laughter. Ambrose continues on by saying that his whole entire life has consisted of being viewed differently and being treated differently. "Hell, I was following The Undertaker around when I first walked in here like some kind of mesmerized, brainwashed freak... maybe I'm still a freak but the point is that at WrestleMania I get to go one on one with you, Hunter. I get to get my hands on you and for everything I've been put through my entire life from my own father to YOU! I'M GOING TO RIP YOUR EYES OUT OF YOUR SOCKETS AND PUT THEM IN THE PALMS OF YOUR WIFES HANDS AND THEN I'M GOING TO TAKE A SEAT AT YOUR DESK IN CONNECTICUT AND WATCH IT OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN OVER A NICE BOWL OF SPAGHETTI O'S!" His eyes widen as he looks around the arena, the crowd approving of his wild and bizarre vision. Before Ambrose can say more, Mark Henry's theme music hits and out comes the World's Strongest Man.
"Ain't you learned your lesson yet, boy?" Henry questions atop the stage, the fans not caring for his appearance as they shower him with boos. "Mick Foley may have re-hired you and given you a match against Triple H at WrestleMania, but that don't mean squat for you other than another ass beating! Maybe you forgot what happened the last time you got in to the ring with The Authority!" Henry gestures towards the titantron, showing a replay from No Way Out where Ambrose faced Henry while being forced to wear a straight jacket, being beat down by not only Henry - but Triple H - en route to a Mark Henry victory after multiple sledgehammer shots, a Pedigrees and World Strongest's Slams. Back in the arena, the crowd boos as Henry chuckles, saying that is exactly the kind of thing that will happen at WrestleMania, because Triple H always gets the job done and does what is best for business. "And what is best for business, Dean? Is to beat the crazy out of you." As the WWE Universe continues to buzz, Ambrose looks around at them while biting on his lip. He taps his head and says that he has an idea. "Why don't you come and 'beat the crazy' out of me yourself then, Mark!?" He questions to a pop, the World's Strongest Man hesitating before marching down the ramp, only to stop himself. He smiles and starts to back up the ramp, only for Commissioner Mick Foley to barge out to the stage following the signature car crash of his entrance music. He stops right next to Henry and points towards him. "I don't know about you, Mark, but I think that sounds like a hell of an idea from Dean Ambrose! So, right here tonight on Smackdown it'll be Mark Henry versus Dean Ambrose and this time, there is no Authority to put a straight jacket on the Lunatic Fringe! Have a nice day!" He gives a thumbs up towards the ring, having it returned by Ambrose as Henry is livid! He goes one on one with Ambrose later on tonight.
Commercial Break
MATT HARDY (W/JEFF HARDY) DEF. CODY RHODES (W/GOLDUST) AND JEY USO (W/JIMMY USO) » The bell sounds and the three men each fight to knock each other around. Rhodes misses a Disaster Kick on Jey and goes right in to the Twist of Fate! Hardy goes for the pin but Uso manages to break it up. Momentum swings wildly between all three men, Hardy clotheslining Uso over the top rope and to the floor - going with him. Jimmy comes over to check on his brother, as does Jeff. Rhodes takes the opportunity to climb to the top turnbuckle, hitting a moonsault on all four men! He and Goldust begin to celebrate as Rhodes brings Jey back in to the ring, going for the pin - getting a near fall! Matt yanks Cody from the ring and chucks him face first in to the steel steps. He rolls underneath the ropes and rises, dropping Jey with the Twist of Fate! He hooks both legs for the three count.
Hardy gets on to his feet to a pop from the crowd, being joined in the ring by his brother. They begin to celebrate the victory, only to be struck from behind by The Rhodes Brothers. The two teams begin to brawl and The Usos come flying in to join in! As things get out of control, the signature of The Wyatt Family hits! The lights go out in the arena and flicker a bit, coming back on after a few minutes - Luke Harper and Erick Rowan standing in the middle of the ring. They go straight at The Hardy Boyz, blasting them with big boots! They get jumped at by The Usos and they are taken down next, Goldust and Cody Rhodes being tossed over the top rope afterward. The WWE Tag Team Champions march around the ring, standing tall over their top three contenders.
Commercial Break
Returning from break in Mick Foley's makeshift office in the hallways is The Hardy Boyz, The Usos and The Rhodes Brothers. They are all yelling about getting a shot at the WWE Tag Team Championship and Foley tries to get them to simmer down. "Alright! Enough!" He shouts, putting his hands up. "We're going to settle this... we're going to settle this on Monday night. A triple threat tag team match and the winners get to face Luke Harper and Erick Rowan for the WWE Tag Team Championship... at WrestleMania." The trio of teams look to each other and nod in agreement, Foley asking them to please leave his office. They all walk across the yellow taped floor line, Foley telling them all to 'have a nice day'.
RYBACK DEF. JACK SWAGGER (W/ZEB COLTER) » As the bell sounds and the match begins, Michael Cole makes the note that Jack Swagger will be entering the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania. He tries to work the ankle of Ryback but gets overpowered and stuffed repeatedly. 'The Big Guy' dominates and goes for the Meat Hook Clothesline early, only for it to be avoided and Swagger to plant him with a splash in the corner. He gets some momentum going but ends up missing the Swagger Bomb, allowing Ryback to rise and smash him with the Meat Hook Clothesline! "Finish! It!" He shouts before pulling Swagger up and hitting Shell Shocked. He hooks the inside leg up for the pinfall.
Ryback rises back up and starts up the 'Feed me more!' chant. He takes a microphone from ringside and breaths heavily in to it, pointing up to the WrestleMania sign. "At WrestleMania, I am entering the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal... and I'm having my WrestleMania moment! FEED! ME! MO-" Before he can finish, however, Derrick Bateman makes his way out to the ramp with Tamina Snuka and tells Ryback to hold up just a second and to pay attention to him. The crowd boos, Bateman flashing a big smile. "You're not going to have your WrestleMania moment, Ryback, instead - it is going to be my WrestleMania moment because I am winning the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal!" He grins and Ryback chuckles, telling Bateman to prove it by getting in the ring with him right here, right now! The crowd supports the idea but Bateman quickly backs away, saying he doesn't need to prove anything. He makes his way backstage, tugging Tamina along with him as fast as he can.
Commercial Break
Back from break, Wade Barrett and The Commonwealth are backstage. Renee Young is standing by with them and thanks them for their time, directing her attention towards the Intercontinental Champion. She asks about him being defeated by AJ Styles this past Monday on Raw and Chris Jericho's involvement. "I didn't get defeated by AJ Styles." Barrett states. "Get that straight. I was robbed of a victory by Chris Jericho and that is the only reason I was pinned. Not defeated, pinned." Before he can say anything more, Jericho himself steps forward with a big smile across his face. He pats the Intercontinental Championship and asks Barrett how he is doing, saying he thinks he deserves another shot at the belt. "I mean, you may say you weren't defeated on Raw but if that is the case, neither was I a few weeks ago when you screwed me out of my championship match against you. So, how about you give me another shot tonight, junior?" The two stare down, Barrett scoffing at the idea and adjusting his title belt. "I've got a better idea, Jericho. How about you prove yourself worthy of another shot first? You face my four men at the same time and then maybe, just maybe, I'll agree to put my title on the line against you once again." He heads off with the rest of The Commonwealth, Jericho nodding on.
The signature of The Wyatt Family hits, Bray Wyatt appearing on the titantron after the effect behind his lantern. "Undertaker..." He says with a chuckle. "Time is running out. Your days of immortality are concluding! YOUR MIND GAMES HAVE NO EFFECT ON ME FOR I KNOW! THAT DEEP DOWN INSIDE YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A MORTAL MAN AND I YOU ARE FEARFUL OF BRAY WYATT!" He pulls up the mask of Kane that he had on Monday, laughing at it and cradling it close to his face. "I followed your brother, Kane... I followed him straight to the depths of Hell and took his mask and I ended his suffering... just as I will end your precious streak at WrestleMania... Dead Man, you will rest... in... peace..." He leans his head back, laughing hysterically before coming to a dead stop. "Follow the buzzards." He states, blowing out the lantern.
A graphic appears for a match made official by Mick Foley: Damien Sandow, Drew McIntyre, Adam Rose and William Regal versus Chris Jericho! If Jericho wins, he gets another Intercontinental Championship match. That match is coming up next!
Commercial Break
DAMIEN SANDOW, DREW MCINTYRE, ADAM ROSE AND WILLIAM REGAL (W/WADE BARRETT AND PAIGE) DEF. CHRIS JERICHO » The bell rings as Jericho starts off with Rose, rocking him to the mat quickly. Rose gets nearly defeated quickly and he makes the tag out to Sandow, whom comes in and does some damage to Jericho with a series of clotheslines. The Commonwealth continues to make multiple tags to keep Jericho from coming back by staying hot. Y2J manages to avoid a boot in the corner from McIntyre, however, and catches him with a huge bulldog! He pops back up and takes the other three off the apron before turning back to McIntyre and hitting him with the Codebreaker! McIntyre flops underneath the ropes. Paige gets on to the apron and begins to scream at Jericho with all her might, the referee trying to get her to come down from the apron. As she continues the distraction, Wade Barrett comes in to the ring and smashes Jericho with the Intercontinental Championship to the face! He rolls out of the ring as McIntyre slowly recovers, crawling over to Jericho and hooking up the inside leg for the three count.
The crowd boos the result, The Commonwealth all beginning to make their way up the ramp - mocking Jericho as Barrett holds his title up high. Before they can go towards the back, however, Mick Foley comes out to the ramp shaking his head and wagging his finger. "You know, I think the WWE Universe deserves better. You keep on getting yourself or others involved, Wade, and they'll never get to see you versus Chris again at this rate... so, despite the match result, at WrestleMania... it will be Wade Barrett versus Chris Jericho for the Intercontinental Championship! Have a nice day!" He gives a thumbs up and heads to the back, The Commonwealth livid over the announcement from the Commissioner!
Commercial Break
A promo video airs for WrestleMania XXX on April 6, 2014 from New Orleans, Louisiana! 24 days away!
ANTONIO CESARO DEF. CURTIS AXEL » Prior to the match starting, a video clip is shown of both men announcing their entrance in to the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. Axel gives a smack to the face as the bell rings, Cesaro responding with a huge uppercut! He unleashes and refuses to let up on Axel, eventually dropping him to the mat and performing the Cesaro Swing to the delight of the crowd. He goes around fourteen times before letting Axel go, hitting him with the Neutralizer right afterward. He hooks both legs up for the pinfall victory.
Cesaro gets back up and pumps his fists in the air in signature fashion. As he is handed his Money in the Bank briefcase, JBL scoffs on commentary at him. "He only has about four months left to cash in, and he's worrying about the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal!? COME ON, ANTONIO, CASH IN ALREADY!" Cole tells JBL that he is taking his time, Cesaro exiting the ring and making his way towards the back holding his briefcase high over his head.
Backstage is Paul Heyman and Roman Reigns walking down the halls together as they will be speaking next.
Commercial Break
Back from break, Roman Reigns' music hits and the arena fills with boos. He and Paul Heyman emerge from the back and gaze around the arena before marching down and in to the ring. Heyman holds a microphone and laughs, patting his client on the back. "Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman and at WrestleMania my client, the reigning, defending Undisputed WWE Champion Brock Lesnar will walk inside Hell in a Cell and decimate, victimize and conquer Bryan Danielson and do what he should have done months ago and bring his career to an end!" He gets some boos and flashes a smile, gesturing his hand out in front of Reigns. "And ladies and gentleman, this is my other client - the ruthless beast of a man himself that will obliterate and destroy CM Punk at WrestleMania, RRRRRRRROMAN! RRREIGNS!" He goes on, mentioning how last week here on Smackdown CM Punk was ran down and now people are absolutely disgusted with the actions that himself and Reigns showed. Heyman says that what the people think, however, does not matter. He gets some boos and explains that when CM Punk tries to lay his hands on him, he has to take some very big risks. "Sure, hitting CM Punk in the side with a car was a bit extreme but what was I to do? He tried to assault me and then he tried to assault my client and I just did what was in the best for mine - and Roman's - safety." Before he can say anything more, CM Punk's music hits and he hobbles his way out atop the stage to a huge ovation from the crowd.
Punk stands atop the stage, a fire in his eyes and a microphone in his hand. "Really, Paul? I try and give you a punch in the face you've deserved for the past twenty years and you, in turn, hit me with a car and think that is fair play?" His eyes widen and he scratches his head, saying if that is the case he might as well come down to that ring with a steel chair and ring it across the head of Paul thirty times! The crowd pops for the idea, only for Heyman to plead with Punk to not do something like that. "No, no, Paul don't you worry! I'm going to take care of your boy Roman Reigns first. At WrestleMania I'm going to be kicking his ass and once I get done with him, I'm going to come for you and I'm going to make you go to sleep... but before I do that I'm going to take you by your stupid tie and choke you to the point you're begging for mercy and for the first time in your life realize how big of a piece of scum you really are." The Arkansas crowd continues to get behind Punk, even chanting his name. As Heyman goes to respond, Reigns puts his hand up and takes the microphone away from him slowly - staring up the ramp. He steps up to the ropes and leans across them, raising his eyebrows at Punk. "You really believe that is what is going to happen at WrestleMania?" He questions, shaking his head. "Nah, Punk. What is going to happen at WrestleMania is I'm going to take this here fist and knock your teeth down your throat. Believe that." He backs away, Heyman slowly applauding his client and giving a big grin towards Punk - whom says that he doesn't need to wait until WrestleMania to try and do that, because he'll give him the opportunity to try and do that right now! He starts to march his way down to the ring and Reigns looks to Heyman, talking with him. As soon as Punk gets in to the ring, Heyman and Reigns exit - the WWE Universe showering them with boos. Punk laughs, calling them cowards as they start to back away up the ramp.
Commercial Break
After the break, the announcement is made that The Undertaker will be appearing on Raw this Monday night!
DIVA'S CHAMPION PAIGE (W/WILLIAM REGAL) DEF. LAYLA IN A NON-TITLE MATCH » The bell rings and Layla is barely able to put up a fight, being thrashed by Paige with knees and clotheslines. She is hit with a hard powerslam but kicks out of the pin attempt. Paige begins to target the leg but misses a splash in to the corner at it, Layla responding with a neckbreaker that gets her a two count. Layla starts to get back in to the match but has her knee taken out with a kick, Paige following up with the Ram-Paige. She covers Layla for the three.
The crowd boos as Paige gets back on to her feet, ignoring the official as he tries to raise her arm up. She instead begins to stomp away at the knee of Layla she had been targeting. "You like that AJ!?" She shouts, continuing to stomp. "YOU THINK YOU'RE BETTER THAN ME, AJ!?" She drops on to both knees and begins to twist the leg as hard as she can, rolling out of the ring and slinging it in to the steel post! Regal comes over to restrain Paige, whom continues to yell at Layla calling her 'AJ' as clearly, the return of AJ Lee has gotten in to her head.
A graphic appears for the main event coming up next as Dean Ambrose and Mark Henry face off.
Commercial Break
After Mark Henry and Dean Ambrose make their entrances, the referee seems prepared to call for the bell only for 'King of Kings' to hit. The WWE Universe boos as Triple H and Stephanie McMahon make their way out from the back, Batista shortly following afterwards. The trio come down to ringside, Hunter and Stephanie taking a seat as Batista stands behind them.
DEAN AMBROSE DEF. MARK HENRY » The bell rings, Henry squashing Ambrose in the corner as he stares at The Authority on the outside. Henry overpowers Ambrose quickly and goes for the pin early, only getting a two count. Out of frustration, Henry chucks Ambrose through the ropes and follows after him - only to get tripped face first in to the steel steps. Ambrose leaps over him and begins to rain down with fists! He refuses to let up until the referee gets to a count of eight, so he rolls in and out of the ring to break the count up. He hits a running dropkick and rises, staring down The Authority with a crazed look in his eyes as a commercial break comes in. Following the break, Ambrose continues to go wild in ways to take Henry down. He goes for a top rope crossbody but gets caught and hit with the World's Strongest Slam! Mark covers him but some how, Ambrose manages to power out of it! The crowd cheers him on, Henry beginning a beat down. He throws Ambrose in to the corner repeatedly and in to the steel posts. He gets an applause from The Authority, whom after a short while of toying with Ambrose is told by Triple H to hit him with the World's Strongest Slam. Henry goes for it but Ambrose manages to elbow his way free before he can really be locked in to it. He ducks underneath a clothesline and hops up high, hitting a DDT on Henry! He gets back up and delivers a series of low drop kicks as Henry continues to try and get back up. The World's Strongest Man gets on to his hands and knees, Ambrose taking the opportunity to hit Dirty Deeds! Ambrose covers him for the three count.
Ambrose pops up on to his feet and falls back against the ropes, having his arm raised by the official. Before he can even begin his celebration, however, Batista comes in to the ring and drops him with a huge spinebuster! Henry staggers back on to his feet and puts the boots to Ambrose along with Batista. Triple H removes his suit jacket on the outside and hands it over to Stephanie, unbuttoning his shirt as he makes his way up the steel steps. He slowly enters the ring and steps forward, Henry and Batista holding Ambrose before him. "You're not going to make it to WrestleMania, Ambrose. Not once I'm done with you tonight!" He smacks Ambrose in the face and takes him by the hair, only to have his attention drawn away. "I hear voices in my head..." Out comes Randy Orton to a big pop from the crowd!
He rushes down to the ring and is met with a stomp across the back from Henry, Batista storming over and dragging him up. The two big men keep Orton at bay in the corner, only for 'The Viper' to fight back! Ambrose staggers on to his feet behind Triple H and spins him around - pulling him in for Dirty Deeds! The crowd goes wild but Henry staggers over and clotheslines Ambrose out of the hold! The Chief Operating Officer rolls out of the ring, as back inside it the two sides go at it. Ambrose ducks a clothesline from Henry and dropkicks him down in to the middle turnbuckle. On the opposite side of the ring, Orton drops Batista with the RKO! The Animal rolls out of the ring, as does Henry, leaving the two crazed minded men in Orton and Ambrose standing tall in the middle of the ring! They march back and forth across the squared circle, The Authority scrambling their way towards the ramp as Thursday Night Smackdown comes to an end!

| After taking part in the main event of the very first WrestleMania and
building one of the greatest careers in the history of sports entertainment,
Hulk Hogan returns thirty years later to be the official host for
the event he helped build to what it is today: WrestleMania XXX! | In a dream match that has been talked about for years now, the dream
finally becomes a reality. With the challenge being laid down by
The Rock, John Cena accepted the chance at facing 'The Great One' in
the ultimate dream match. Which star will prevail over the other? | | | Hell in a Cell against Brock Lesnar nearly ended the career of Bryan
Danielson last year. However, Bryan would make his triumphant return
to win his second Royal Rumble - and, crazily, suggest a rematch inside
Hell in a Cell against 'The Beast Incarnate' for the Undisputed Title. | The Undertaker would return last August, only to become the next victim
to Bray Wyatt and The Wyatt Family. Another return following No Way
Out would result in the battle of the two master manipulators being made.
The streak is on the line, will Bray Wyatt put the one in 21-1? |
|
| Triple H re-claimed his power by assaulting Commissioner Mick Foley and
in the process, continuously punished Dean Ambrose - a nuisance of
his for the better part of a year - and even fired him. Upon Foley's return,
however, he would re-hire Ambrose and pit him against 'The Game'. | In a rivalry brewed by CM Punk's former mentor, Paul Heyman, Roman
Reigns continued to look to make his mark in the WWE by costing CM
Punk his Undisputed WWE Championship match. Punk would cost Reigns
the Royal Rumble, and now they face at WrestleMania XXX.
|
| 
| WrestleMania XXX host Hulk Hogan made the announcement for this
special battle royal contest in memorial of Andre the Giant, one of the
most recognizable superstars in WWE history. Only one man can be the
last man standing among the likes of Big Show, Seth Rollins and more.
| WWE legend, Chris Jericho, made his return at the Royal Rumble entering
number two - right behind Wade Barrett. Jericho in the process would take
out The Commonwealth, then beat them each individually over the weeks
to earn a title shot, losing it via controversy. Now, he gets a rematch. |

"My name is AJ and I'm not gonna quick result up to WrestleMania." That what you sound like for once. A spaghetti o's reference is so ing weird, but kind of fitting for a Dean Ambrose promo. I don't know what that says about the man. Good choice to go with Ambrose/Mark Henry again, I expect him to win this time. I always enjoy a Triple Threat match when there's three tag teams feuding. Three good teams too. Matt Hardy winning is fine. I smell a Fatal Four Way at WrestleMania also involving the Champs, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan. Might be a good way for them to drop the belts and stay strong. Yea, I see the Triple Threat on Raw ending via shenanigans. Ryback over Jack Swagger makes sense. Ooh, Derrick Bateman interaction? Interesting. Pairing him with Tamina makes me picture him as Tarzan for some reason. Andre the Giant Battle Royal is a good idea to go with. Looking forward to the expected match between Wade Barrett and Chris Jericho at WrestleMania, as a win for him over the guy with the most IC Title reigns can be good. Bray Wyatt/Undertaker should be fun too. Wonder if the Streak will die. I thought Jericho might find a way to win, which would have hurt the Commonwealth's momentum. Interested in where you go from here. And here goes Mick Foley to the rescue. Antonio Cesaro over Curtis Axel was the right call, and classic of JBL to complain about him not cashing in yet. Maybe the night after Raw? I really have no clue who is going to win at WrestleMania. CM Punk is a huge star and Roman Reigns could use the rub, so I'm guessing you're going that way. Either way, I'm a fan of Heyman and Reigns together. Paige winning is good and I'm all for a Paige/AJ feud, but that damn HeelRyan ruined that feud for anyone else trying to book it. Good for Ambrose getting his win back. Hectic finish as Randy Orton returns! Big deal for a Smackdown episode. Orton and Ambrose make a good combination due to their unstable minds. It would make a good feud. Like you can read in my sim. Which you should do. Really good Smackdown and the card for WrestleMania is shaping up rather nicely. |

- Starting the show off with Ambrose & Henry with it leading into Ambrose vs Henry for tonight's main event definitely makes sense considering Henry is an Authority "heavy" but also you can bet Triple H, Dean's opponent and COO of this company will be in attendance for this match that both he and Stephanie will show up it is only a matter of time but I just hope Ambrose knows just what they have planned so he can turn it around on them and outsmart them but so glad that Foley made the match but even more so glad that Foley is back in power as WWE Commissioner, finally things will be fair around here for each and every superstar
- Matt Hardy w/Jeff Hardy beating Jey Uso w/Jimmy Uso and Cody Rhodes w/Goldust in a Triple Threat, I wonder what this means as far as the WWE Tag Team Championship picture is concerned? Wouldn't this victory mean that The Hardy Boyz are once again the #1 Contenders for the WWE Tag Team Championships? But then seeing these 3 tag teams afterwards going at it and in all the chaos the WWE Tag Team Champions Harper & Rowan of the Wyatt Family then show up and just clean house, I wonder what Foley is going to do now as far as the WWE Tag Team Championships are concerned as far as WrestleMania goes?
- Triple Threat Tag Team #1 Contender's Match, Hardy Boyz vs Usos vs Rhodes Brothers and the winners end up facing Harper & Rowan for the WWE Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania 30, this is a great idea, I already know who I am rooting for to win this match
- Ryback beating Jack Swagger also makes sense considering the role Ryback has been on ever since his return but also Swagger is in the Andre the Giant Battle Royal, it makes me wonder just who else will enter? Ryback being interrupted by Bateman of all people, now that now that I definitely was not expecting but Bateman and Tamina showing up with Bateman going on about how he is going to win the Andre the Giant Battle Royal, yeah I sincerely doubt that because if he were to ever win anything pigs would fly, Bateman can't be taken seriously as far as I am concerned whereas Ryback would be a huge threat going into the Andre the Giant Battle Royal
- Jericho having to earn his way to a WWE Intercontinental Championship match against Barrett I would say he has more than earned it he beat all of Barrett's Commonwealth cronies already and now Barrett wants to say that if Jericho can beat all 4 of his cronies at one time then he will get a WWE Intercontinental Championship match, how in the hell is that fair? A 4 on 1 Handicap Match, Jericho would have no chance absolutely none
- I wonder if AJ Styles will enter the Andre the Giant Battle Royal? If AJ Styles does enter it he would be an odds on favorite hell he would be the favorite to win it
- Bray Wyatt continues to show that he is not afraid of The Undertaker he continues to play mind games with The Undertaker and he continues to show Undertaker that his mind games have no effect on him, I wonder what Undertaker will do to up the stakes? Perhaps Undertaker shows Bray Wyatt a casket and Bray Wyatt opens the casket and when he does he sees a corpse of himself, now that would for sure scare Bray Wyatt or perhaps a coffin with corpses of Harper and Rowan inside of them and or Undertaker crucifying them to his symbol since Bray Wyatt made it personal when he went after Undertaker's brother Kane taking Kane's mask
- It was obvious Sandow, Rose, McIntyre and Regal would beat Jericho not that Jericho didn't put up a fight he put up one hell of a fight but come on the odds were 4 against 1, he stood no chance absolutely none and now Barrett is going to claim how because of that Jericho is not worthy of facing him for the WWE Intercontinental Championship but glad that Foley the WWE Commissioner put Barrett back in his place and gave Jericho a WWE Intercontinental Championship match against Barrett but also that this match will be happening at WrestleMania, now this I definitely can't wait to see
- 24 more days until WrestleMania 24 days that is like 3 weeks and 3 more days until WrestleMania 30, 24 more days I can't wait
- Both Cesaro the Money in the Bank Ladder Match winner Mr. Money in the Bank and Curtis Axel will be in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, that also makes sense but seeing Cesaro go over Axel makes sense not only because he is Mr. Money in the Bank but also he has more going for him at this point but JBL is so right, Cesaro has less than 4 months to cash in his briefcase like what are you waiting for? Cash in already and be done with it but Cesaro if he is in the Battle Royal he is also going to be a favorite I mean it is pretty much guaranteed
- Punk and Reigns' segment if anything was the best segment of this whole entire show because out of all the matches here at WrestleMania 30 out of all of the matches on the card this match has got to be the most personal match out of all the matches I mean come on but also Punk wants revenge and I for one don't blame him and just when he goes to get his revenge Reigns and Heyman bail like cowards I wonder why they would do that? They simply could have finished Punk once and for all but instead run away if I didn't know any better I would say Reigns is afraid of Punk
- Undertaker on RAW this Monday I can't wait, no doubt to address The Wyatt Family
- And in the main event, Dean Ambrose beating Authority "heavy" Mark Henry, it seems whatever Triple H had planned for Ambrose it backfired but then cue Batista showing up and he and Henry as well as Triple H are about to do damage to Ambrose here comes Orton with a shocking return Orton making the save for Ambrose and the 2 of them coming face to face but are standing tall among The Authority I wonder if Henry will have to face Orton on RAW and will Ambrose have to face Batista?
- How is Batista functioning after being punted in the skull by Orton last week? Unless Orton didn't punt Batista hard enough?

MARCH 17, 2014 FROM THE AT&T CENTER IN SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS
The regular opener for the WWE airs before the cameras come inside of the AT&T Center from San Antonio, Texas! Michael Cole, Jerry 'The King' Lawler and John Bradshaw Layfield give the welcoming to the show tonight as we are just three weeks away from WrestleMania XXX! Tonight, in response to what happened at the end of Smackdown last week we will see Dean Ambrose and Randy Orton - two former heated rivals - teaming up to take on Batista and Mark Henry. Also, a number one contender for the WWE Tag Team Championship will be determined finally as The Hardy Boyz, The Usos and The Rhodes Brothers go at it in a triple threat match. Plus, we will be hearing from The Undertaker, John Cena, AJ Lee and there will be a sit-down interview with Brock Lesnar!
The crowd gets to start things off loud with a mixed reaction as John Cena's theme music hits. He emerges from the back all fired up, expressing his energy towards the crowd and even the camera man. He comes bolting down the ramp and in to the ring, snatching a microphone up from ringside, smiling to the crowd as his music dies down - a loud 'Lets Go Cena!', 'Cena Sucks!' chant beginning. "Guys, I'm not even in a match!" Cena notes, telling the WWE Universe they get more and more interesting every week. "But that is what I love about the WWE Universe. What I love about this business! Boos or cheers, it doesn't matter to me because I love each and every single one of you whether you like it or not and when I come out here to perform I come out here to perform for you and it re-assures me every night that I chose the right profession when I hear the reaction from all of you." He gets another loud mixed response, saying that he feels like he is putting The Rock down every single week but he feels the right to. He points out that while he is here each and every night to get that feeling inside of him that makes his life worth living generated by the people, The Rock doesn't seem to want or need that. "He calls himself the people's champion, but can't be here on Monday nights for the people. So, how can you really call yourself that? That's what I wanna know! But I don't expect answers. Maybe I'll get them one day and maybe I won't, but what I do know is this: At WrestleMania XXX, twenty days from now, I'm walking down to the ring to go one on one with the great one and I damn sure don't plan on walking out the loser." He gives a long, hard stare in to the main camera and prepares to speak some more, only to be surprisingly cut off by the theme music of Alberto Del Rio.
The Mexican Aristocrat makes his way out and stays atop the stage, a ginormous smile across his face. "John Cena, all I hear from you is whining and complaining! It's all I've ever heard from you and I'm getting quite tired of standing back there and listening to it." The crowd gives a sharp 'ooh' at Del Rio's words, Cena responding by asking if he is going to come down to the ring like Curtis Axel did last week and get his ass beat in ten seconds. Alberto laughs at the idea, saying that isn't what would happen if they got in to the ring together. "In case you forgot, John, it was only a couple of years ago that I was beating you for the WWE Championship! And at WrestleMania, I should be getting a WWE Championship match once again... or even facing The Rock, not you... But instead, I'm in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal and even though that is a notch below, John, unlike you I will be leaving WrestleMania a winner because that... is my destiny." Cena says that he thinks Del Rio's destiny is to get whooped right here, right now! He removes his shirt and hat, tossing them out to the crowd. "You wouldn't be out here if you weren't looking to start some trouble, boy, so if you want some! Come! Get some!" He throws his microphone to the mat, Del Rio seeming hesitant before making his way down the ramp as it appears we will have John Cena versus Alberto Del Rio to kick things off tonight!
Commercial Break
JOHN CENA DEF. ALBERTO DEL RIO » The bell sounds and the two men lock up with each other, Cena bringing Del Rio in to the corner and pummeling him with shots. Alberto comes back by working the arm, however, and goes for the Rolling Cross Armbar early - Cena managing to roll through and pull Del Rio up, slamming him with a powerbomb in the corner! As Cena gets some momentum brewing and sets up for the Attitude Adjustment, however, Del Rio elbows his way free and escapes from the ring - leading to a commercial break. Following that, Del Rio keeps on targeting the arm and after bringing Cena down, snaps a kick to the back of the head. He hooks both legs up but somehow Cena manages to kick out. ADR follows up with the backstabber, leading to another near fall! He gets frustrated and begins a vicious beat down on Cena. He goes for another kick, only for Cena to avoid it and hit him with a shoulder block. He hits a couple of more, followed by the spinout powerbomb and the five knuckle shuffle. He gets fired up and looks around the arena, letting Del Rio rise before planting him with the Attitude Adjustment! Instead of going for the pin, however, he applies the STF and Alberto almost immediately taps out to the hold.
The crowd gives a mixed reaction as Cena doesn't let up on the hold, the referee pleading with him to do so. As Del Rio continues to tap out, Cena pulls off the hold and gets back on to his feet - raising his hands up in signature taunt. He points up to the WrestleMania sign and looks in to the camera, "It's going down at 'Mania, Rocky. It's going down." He says before exiting the ring, making his way towards the back.
Commercial Break
Returning, the announcement is made that The Rock will be appearing live via satellite on Raw next Monday!
Backstage, Antonio Cesaro is seen backstage talking with Rob Van Dam. The crowd cheers in the background, but those cheers turn to boos quickly as Seth Rollins steps in to the scene with his arms crossed. "Well, well, well. What do we have here? Two losers! Hahaha!" Cesaro asks what Rollins wants, getting a shrug in response. "Nothing much, Antonio, other than for you to to quit thinking you stand a chance in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal as long as I am in it. Tonight, maybe I'll do some convincing when I face you. Hell, I got myself a shot at the Undisputed WWE Championship at Extreme Rules. I'm on a roll!" Cesaro raises his eyebrows and says that he has made the point before and he'll make the point again, that he could be the WWE Champion a lot earlier than that and raises up his briefcase. RVD agrees with Cesaro, saying that briefcase is a lot better than having to wait around. "How about you shut your mouth, Rob? I beat you at WrestleMania last year and I'd do it again any time, anywhere!" Cesaro tries to speak up but RVD stops him, saying that he'll put his name in the hat for the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal then. "And I'll make it a point to toss you over the top rope, dude." RVD says, Rollins scoffing at the idea and heading off, Cesaro and RVD fist bumping with a laugh.
DERRICK BATEMAN (W/TAMINA SNUKA) DEF. RYBACK VIA COUNT OUT » The bell rings and Bateman tries to reason with Ryback, only to get dropped with a brutal spinebuster! 'The Big Guy' unleashes his strength on Bateman, toying with him by pulling him out of pins at the count of two. He laughs and goes for the Meat Hook Clothesline, Bateman surprising him by avoiding it and hitting a low dropkick to the back of the legs. He begins to club across the back and head of Ryback, only to get tossed over the top rope and to the floor! Tamina walks over to Bateman and checks on him, Ryback rolling out of the ring. He comes face to face with Tamina, telling her to back down. Snuka, however, just stays put. Bateman rises back on to his feet and shoves Ryback in to Tamina! He follows up by throwing Ryback face first in to the steel post and rolls in to the ring, the referee reaching a ten count.
The crowd disapproves of the result as Bateman is announced the winner. Ryback gets on to his feet, shaking his head. He looks to Tamina as she gets up and asks if she is alright, only to receive a kick to the groin! Ryback drops on to both knees and Bateman steps out of the ring after him, high fiving Tamina with a laugh. He plants Ryback with The DB Driver and pops back on to his feet, hands spread out with a smile. As soon as Ryback moves an inch, however, he frantically starts to rush up the ramp - dragging Snuka with him by the arm.
Backstage is AJ Lee, skipping down the halls, as she addresses Paige - next.
Commercial Break
'Light It Up' hits and out comes AJ Lee to a pop from the San Antonio crowd. She skips her way down the ramp and goes around the ring multiple times before sliding in to the ring, looking all around. She takes a microphone from ringside and steps up to the middle of the squared circle, laughing as she pulls her hair back out of her face. "You know something? I came to the WWE with one goal in mind: Becoming the greatest diva of all time and guess what? I practically accomplished that last year. When I lost my Diva's Championship to Paige at Cyber Sunday in that battle royal, I wasn't worried in the least about her. I knew I would be able to come right back and take back what is mine... but then Paige decided she was going to chuck me off the stage and take me out!" She gives another crazed giggle, saying she was flattered to be considered such a threat to Paige she had to have her knee taken out and put on the shelves for nearly three months. She continues on saying that she has come back with a vengeance and not only does she want to win back her Diva's Championship, but she wants to break Paige in half. Before AJ can say anything more, Paige's theme music hits and she comes out to the stage, a furious look across her face.
"Break me in half?" Paige questions, saying that will never happen. "You see, AJ, you've been gone for too long now to even match up to me. While you've been on the shelves, I've been getting better and more dangerous than I already was when I took you out. You don't want any part of me and I highly suggest you just walk away before you get hurt again." She smiles and AJ returns it, saying that she finds it adorable that Paige thinks just because she has a championship over her shoulder it makes her worth something. "I'm sorry if your boyfriend Wade Barrett, or one of his little jesters, has failed to inform you that you haven't proved anything until you've actually beaten me. Taking me out to avoid that situation was clear, my little crumpet, but you can't run forever. That is why I am cashing in my rematch to face you for my Diva's Championship at WrestleMania XXX!" The WWE Universe cheers the announcement as Paige grows a worrysome look across her face, AJ's music hitting once again as she drops her microphone and skips around inside of the ring, batting her eyelashes at Paige as she slowly, shoulders dropped, makes her way towards the back, hugging her Diva's Championship closely to her chest as it is in more danger of leaving Paige's possession than ever thus far.
Commercial Break
ANTONIO CESARO (W/ROB VAN DAM) DEF. SETH ROLLINS » The bell tolls and Rollins quickly escapes from the ring, taking his time to smack RVD across the face! Cesaro follows after him and slams his face off the apron. He takes Rollins back in to the ring but gets hit with an elbow to the back of the head. Rollins stays very fast paced, taking Cesaro down multiple times and getting multiple two counts. He sets up for the Curb Stomp but Cesaro manages to avoid it, pop back up and blast Rollins with a huge uppercut! He unleashes with shots and ends up hitting a big time suplex, causing Rollins to roll his way under the ropes. Cesaro uses all of his strength to lift Rollins off the mat and climb to the second turnbuckle, hitting a superplex! He goes for the pin, Rollins finding some way to kick out! Following some further back and forth action, Rollins ends up hitting his signature top rope double knee. He rolls right out of the ring and steps up to RVD, trash talking him. He slaps Van Dam as he did earlier and laughs, getting back in to the ring. Before he can take off for the Curb Stomp, however, Van Dam takes hold of his ankle. Rollins turns around and tries to kick at RVD before turning around to a huge tossing uppercut from Cesaro! Rollins hits off the ropes and walks back in to the Neutralizer. Cesaro hooks both legs for the three.
Cesaro gets back on to his feet and pumps his fist to the cheering crowd. RVD comes up on to the apron and twirls his finger, getting the crowd excited. Cesaro smiles and proceeds to give Rollins the Cesaro Swing! He goes around nineteen times before releasing, flexing to the WWE Universe! He points to the turnbuckle and RVD smiles, hopping right up - hitting Rollins with the Five Star Frog Splash! He rolls back on to his feet clutching his mid-section, Cesaro helping lead on the chant of 'R-V-D'.

Returning at ringside, the commentary team goes over the inductees in to the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2014 thus far: The Ultimate Warrior, Jake 'The Snake' Roberts, Scott Hall and Paul Bearer. Now, the fifth inductee. A promo video proceeds to air for the Uganan savage himself, Kamala! He will be inducted by Jerry 'The King' Lawler the night before WresteMania XXX!
UNITED STATES CHAMPION SHEAMUS DEF. TITUS O'NEIL (W/THE NEW NATION AND BO DALLAS) IN A NON-TITLE MATCH » The match begins and the referee gives a warning to The New Nation - and Bo Dallas, still not an official member of the group - Sheamus saying something to them as well. O'Neil charges from behind and smashes him in the back of the head with a forearm. He begins a beat down but Sheamus comes right back, showing his aggression. As Titus gets rattled, he is blasted with the Brogue Kick! Sheamus hooks both legs for the three count!
The New Nation and Bo Dallas hop in to the ring, beginning a beat down on him before he can even get up. Truth orders the group get him up but Dallas steps forward, putting his hands up. "Hold on, fellas! I got this!" He gives a big thumbs up to Truth, whom asks if he is being serious right now. Dallas nods and takes Sheamus by the neck, going for the Running Bo-Dog - only to get dropped to the mat. Sheamus drops down and rolls underneath the ropes, snatching his United States Championship belt. He makes his way around the ring and up the ramp with a smile across his face, pounding on his chest and spreading his arms out. "FELLA!" He shouts, The New Nation left furious with Dallas sitting behind them with an expression of shock.
A graphic appears for the main event still to come later as Dean Ambrose and Randy Orton face Mark Henry and Batista. Also, a sit down interview with Brock Lesnar conducted by Michael Cole and The Undertaker will be here live! But coming up next, it is The Hardy Boyz versus The Usos versus The Rhodes Brothers, the winners becoming number one contenders for the WWE Tag Team Championship.
Commercial Break
THE HARDY BOYZ VS THE USOS VS THE RHODES BROTHERS GOES TO A NO CONTEST IN A NUMBER ONE CONTENDERS MATCH » The bell sounds, Jimmy starting things off with Cody. The Usos quickly tag in and out while dominating Cody until he makes the tag to Matt, whom storms in and plants Jey to the mat with multiple clotheslines. He misses on the Twist of Fate, however, getting shoved in to Jeff. He hops in to the ring and hits Whisper in the Wind on Jey - leading to a two count. Both men get back up and Jey ends up tagging in Goldust, whom clotheslines Jeff over the ropes. Matt sends Goldust over and Cody hops in to go over with Cody as well. The Usos proceed to hit their signature dive over the top ropes - taking all four men out! A commercial break follows the big time move. Upon the return, all three teams exchange momentum swings with The Usos seeming to be on the verge of victory on The Rhodes Brothers. Before they can go for the pin, the signature of The Wyatt Family hits to a groan from the crowd. The lights come back on, Harper and Rowan standing in the ring with ladders in their hands - swinging them wildly at the others! The referee calls for the bell.
Harper and Rowan continue to swing away wildly, only to be caught by surprise as Jeff comes in from behind with a ladder of his own to take both men down! Before things can get any more out of hand, Mick Foley's theme music hits to a big pop from the crowd! The Commissioner makes his way out to the stage and calls for order. "Just when I think I've got things under control... they just go crazy again! Harper, Rowan... you like to keep getting involved... you'll defend your WWE Tag Team titles against The Usos... The Rhodes Brothers... AND The Hardy Boyz at WrestleMania!" The crowd approves of the idea, Foley seeming prepared to leave only to stop himself. "And since you like to bring ladders in to the equation? It'll be a ladder match!" Another pop comes from the crowd as Foley wishes all four teams to 'have a nice day' before making his way to the back.
Coming up next, Michael Cole's sit down interview with Undisputed WWE Champion Brock Lesnar.
Commercial Break
Back from break, the cameras are at ringside and Michael Cole says that we are about to see footage of his interview with the Undisputed WWE Champion, Brock Lesnar, earlier on today. "My conversation with Brock was, well... intense."
Turning to the footage, in a mildly lit room, Cole is sat across from Lesnar - whom has the two title belts in his lap. Cole thanks him for his time and asks how he is feeling going in to WrestleMania, just three weeks away. Lesnar just stares, raising his eyebrows. "Is that really going to be your first question, Michael? How do I feel?" He scoffs, asking if that is even a serious question and that he is obviously feeling great. Cole takes a moment before moving on to the next question, asking if he feels any bit of remorse for what he has done to Bryan Danielson and what he may do to Bryan Danielson at WrestleMania. Lesnar squints his eyes, leaning in a bit. "You want to know a secret, Michael? I like hurting people." He holds both the title belts up. "And because I am good at hurting people, I am the Undisputed WWE Champion... I don't feel remorse for anything I have done or will do. Bryan Danielson wants to keep coming after me and granted the kid has heart, but he isn't going to have any legs to walk on after I get done with him at WrestleMania and you know what? I'm going to come down to the ring the night after with a smile across my face, not feeling in the least bit ashamed of ending that little puke's career."
Cole takes a deep breath, shuffling through his index cards in his hand. He looks back up to Lesnar, whom gives a cold stare in return. "Brock, do you want to end the career of Bryan Danielson?" He questions, the Undisputed WWE Champion leaning back in his chair and actually pondering the question for a moment. He laughs, licking his lips. "It isn't a matter of if I want to, Michael. It's just the way things go when people step in to the ring with me. I broke Hardcore Holly's neck twelve years ago... I almost ended his career. If he was done after I did that, I would've been able to sleep just fine at night. If I end up breaking Bryan's neck at WrestleMania, or re-injuring his shoulder and elbow I'll be able to sleep just fine." Cole says that he seems hesitant to say that he wants to end the career of Bryan and Lesnar says that is his second warning to say something stupid to him. Cole goes to speak once again and Lesnar warns that if he wants to continue this interview any further, he might want to think before he opens his mouth again. Michael says he has just one more question: "How confident are you that at WrestleMania XXX... you're going to walk out the way you walked in: the reigning, defending Undisputed WWE Champion?" Lesnar stares for what seems like forever, pulling both the belts over his shoulders. With a smile, he says that there isn't a day in his life that he isn't confident in himself. "Nobody can stop me, Michael. Nobody." He gets up and removes his microphone from his shirt, walking off the set. Cole gulps, thanking Lesnar for his time.
Commercial Break
DOLPH ZIGGLER DEF. BIG SHOW » The match kicks off with Show displaying his strength, Ziggler managing to respond quickly each time. He goes for a top rope bulldog but gets tossed over the top rope - slammed face first in to the announce table. Dolph manages to get back in to the ring at a count of nine, Show keeping him grounded. He pulls Ziggler up and slaps him across the chest repeatedly, setting up for the military press. Ziggler manages to slip free and hop on to the second turnbuckle, hitting a DDT off of it. He gets a near fall, the 'Show Off' trying to cap off the downed World's Largest Athlete by pummeling him with fists. Show shoves him off, however, and rises back up to hit a chokeslam! He goes for the pin, getting a two count. Show is shocked by the result and drags Ziggler back up in the corner again, backing away. He storms forward with a boot but Ziggler ducks underneath, taking the legs out to roll Show up for the one, two, three!
Ziggler pops back on to his feet and leans against the ropes, a big smile across his face as the official raises his arm up. Show staggers back on to one knee, looking over to Dolph. He gets on to his feet, clapping his hands a bit. He steps up to the middle of the ring, Ziggler coming up to him as Show extends a hand. They shake, only for Show to clock him with the Knockout Punch! He follows up by catching Dolph in his arms, lifting him up off the mat and hitting a military press over the ropes and to the floor! He claps his hands together and raises his hand up high to the crowd, as despite the loss he has managed to show his dominance and ability to win the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania.
Commercial Break
Returning, backstage is Renee Young and she welcomes her guests at this time - Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman. She thanks them for their time and first asks Heyman about his other client, Brock Lesnar, and what he had to say earlier on. "My client Brock Lesnar is the most dangerous superstar in this business and everything he said... was absolutely true, factual. He will conquer Bryan Danielson at WrestleMania and if he ends the career of Mr. Danielson then so be it. Boo-hoo, move on." He puts his arm around Reigns, saying that WrestleMania isn't just a night where Brock Lesnar will conquer Bryan Danielson, but a night where Roman Reigns will decimate CM Punk. "And just because I am a fair man, I understand the frustrations of CM Punk and that is why this Thursday on Smackdown, Roman Reigns and I will walk down to that ring and invite CM Punk down there, come face to face with the two of us and vent out his frustrations. But so help me God, if he dares lay a finger on me... Roman, tell him what will happen." Heyman crosses his arms, Reigns raising his eyebrows and cocking his fist. "I'll Superman Punch CM Punk's teeth down his throat... believe that." He heads off, Heyman smiling and following his client.
AJ STYLES DEF. CURTIS AXEL » Prior to the match, it is announced via video that AJ Styles will be entering the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. The bell rings and the match begins with Styles showing his high flying skills. He, however, gets smashed in the face by Axel with a hard elbow. Axel gets multiple near falls and starts to get frustrated, arguing with the official. It allows Styles to hit him with the Pele Kick! Styles gets right back up and delivers the Styles Clash, rolling Axel over for the three count.
Styles rises on to his feet, spreading his arms out to the cheering crowd. He points up to the WrestleMania sign before exiting the ring, Axel left motionless on the mat.
Backstage is Dean Ambrose wrapping his hands up in the locker room while rocking his head back and forth. Randy Orton comes in to the scene and Ambrose stands up, tilting his head at Orton - whom mirrors what Ambrose does. They both nod at the same time and head off, as they team up to take on Mark Henry and Batista next!
Commercial Break
DEAN AMBROSE AND RANDY ORTON DEF. BATISTA AND MARK HENRY (W/TRIPLE H AND STEPHANIE MCMAHON) » The match begins with Orton and Henry, the prior firing off immediately. The World's Strongest Man responds with his power, slamming Orton in to the corner. He and Batista make multiple tags in and out. Orton mounts a comeback on Henry, however, sending him to the mat with a huge dropkick! He makes the tag to Ambrose and he comes in, rushing across the ring to knock Batista off the apron. He charges back over to Henry and takes him over the top rope and to the floor with a crossbody, the crowd going wild as a commercial break ensues. Upon the return, Ambrose is still legal but not in control. Batista dominates him a bit, even hitting a spinebuster that results in a two count. The Lunatic Fringe begins to fight back, pummeling Batista with fists. He is shoved to the ropes but he leans in between before coming back with a leaping forearm to the face. He makes the hot tag to Orton and he comes flying in, going wild with clotheslines! Batista surprises him with a clothesline, however, and both men are left laid out on the mat. They both slowly crawl to their corners and make the tags, Ambrose hopping over the ropes and right in to the arms of Henry - trying to throw fists only to be locked up in the bear hug. After a struggle, Henry lets Ambrose go and seems prepared for the World's Strongest Slam, only for Ambrose to break free from that as well. Orton comes from out of nowhere and drops Henry with the RKO! He proceeds to chuck Batista through the ropes to the feet of Triple H and Stephanie, Ambrose pulling Henry on to both knees to hit him with Dirty Deeds! He covers him for the pinfall.
Ambrose and Orton get up and march around the ring, the WWE Universe behind them. They both stare at each other before turning their attention to outside of the ring, stepping out to the apron. They stand in front of The Authority, Orton taking Batista and Ambrose Triple H! They toss the duo in to the ring and follow after them, Ambrose kicking The Game in the face! Orton does the same to Batista and they mount their rivals, unleashing with fists of fury! Tons of security comes rushing down to the ring, doing all they can to pull the two off! Orton and Ambrose keep the fight going, Triple H and Batista managing to roll out of the ring and stagger towards the ramp, Henry and Stephanie coming along with them as the two crazed men remain standing tall while kept at bay by security.
A graphic appears for what is coming up next as The Undertaker will be here live!
Commercial Break
The arena is looked over by the cameras before the lights go out, the signature 'gong!' of The Undertaker being heard. The San Antonio fans go wild as 'The Dead Man' eventually emerges from the back in to the the dim-lit, smoke-filled arena. He, per usual, strides his way down to the ring very slowly. He gives his classic entrance up the steel steps, rolling his eyes in to the back of his head while raising the lights. He picks up a microphone and comes in between the ropes, standing in the middle of the ring - his music dying down. "Bray Wyatt... this was simply a battle that you did not want to take part in... now, it has become a war." He looks up to the cheering crowd, taking his time before speaking once again. "Attacking me, challenging the streak and stepping through the gates of hell is one thing... targeting my brother is another..." He gestures towards the WrestleMania sign, saying that twenty one times he has had foe come down to the ring and challenge him, only to be defeated. He claims that this year, at the thirtieth anniversary of WrestleMania, he will not only defeat - but eviscerate Bray Wyatt. "You've taken the mask of my brother... now I take the scythe of the reaper and bring you to your end..." Before he can say anything more, the signature of The Wyatt Family hits! Bray appears on the titantron by his lonesome, behind his lantern. After giving a short laugh and a sinister grin he warns San Antonio. "I'm here."
Bray makes his way out to the stage, a burlap bag in his hand as he had last week, with his lantern in the other. His rocking chair is atop the stage tonight and he takes a seat in it, blowing his lantern out. The lights come back on, Bray rocking back and forth with a chuckle. He pulls up a microphone and lays the bag in his lap. "Dead Man! Don't you know that this was personal already!? DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THIS... THIS WAS ALWAYS SOMETHING VERY PERSONAL BETWEEN YOU AND I, UNDERTAKER!?" He mutters a bit, saying that he entered this world to be a leader and he has become the eater of worlds. He says that he is now going on to WrestleMania to put an end to this charade of immortality The Undertaker portrays every year, claiming that nothing is forever other than his word. "My word travels across the world! My message gets passed ear to ear! At WrestleMania, Undertaker, my message will be delivered to you! I WILL TAKE YOUR PRECIOUS STREAK, BRING IT TO AN END AND CAUSE YOU TO REST IN PEACE AND IN THE PROCESS, UNDERTAKER, YOU WILL FOREVER BE MINE! I'LL BE SITTING ON TOP OF THE WORLD, MAN, AND NOBODY WILL BE ABLE TO BRING ME DOWN!" He keeps rocking away, slowly pulling his burlap bag up with a laugh. He says that last week, he brought forth the mask of Kane. This week, he brings forth something even more near and dear to the heart of The Undertaker. He slowly unwraps the top of it, reaching in slowly with a sickening grin. He pulls back out to reveal the iconic and symbolic urn of Paul Bearer! The fans let out a sound of shock, Undertaker pulling down his hood with his eyes widening. He storms up to the ropes, Wyatt rising on to his feet - extending the urn out in front of him. "PAUL BEARER THE MAN MAY BE GONE, BUT HIS LEGACY LIVES FOREVER! AS DOES HIS PRECIOUS URN... The only difference now, man... is that the urn is now in the possession... of me." He continues to slowly gravitate towards the ring, Undertaker dropping down on to one knee while leaning between the ropes. Bray continues to come towards the ring, stopping roughly ten feet away from The Phenom. The two stare down intensely, Wyatt letting out a roar before dropping his microphone - charging forward to crash the urn in to the skull of Undertaker! The WWE Universe lets out another gasp as Wyatt slowly makes his way up the steel steps, entering the ring with the urn raised high above his head. He places it down on the mat and lets 'Taker stir, grabbing him by the head and, after a kiss to the head, plants him with Sister Abigail right in the middle of the ring! He gets on to his knees and breaths heavily, letting out yet another psychotic laugh. He spreads his hands out, shouting to the heavens that he will bring an end to it all! He cradles the head of The Undertaker in his arms, pulling the urn close to his chest at the same time. He begins to rock back and forth, shouting his message. "THE TIME IS NEAR! THE SANDS IN THE HOUR GLASS ARE FALLING! FOLLOW THE BUZZARDS, DEAD MAN... FOLLOW... THE BUZZARDS!" He cackles wildly, his hair covering his face as Monday Night Raw comes to a conclusion.

| After taking part in the main event of the very first WrestleMania and
building one of the greatest careers in the history of sports entertainment,
Hulk Hogan returns thirty years later to be the official host for
the event he helped build to what it is today: WrestleMania XXX! | In a dream match that has been talked about for years now, the dream
finally becomes a reality. With the challenge being laid down by
The Rock, John Cena accepted the chance at facing 'The Great One' in
the ultimate dream match. Which star will prevail over the other? | | | Hell in a Cell against Brock Lesnar nearly ended the career of Bryan
Danielson last year. However, Bryan would make his triumphant return
to win his second Royal Rumble - and, crazily, suggest a rematch inside
Hell in a Cell against 'The Beast Incarnate' for the Undisputed Title. | The Undertaker would return last August, only to become the next victim
to Bray Wyatt and The Wyatt Family. Another return following No Way
Out would result in the battle of the two master manipulators being made.
The streak is on the line, will Bray Wyatt put the one in 21-1? |
|
| Triple H re-claimed his power by assaulting Commissioner Mick Foley and
in the process, continuously punished Dean Ambrose - a nuisance of
his for the better part of a year - and even fired him. Upon Foley's return,
however, he would re-hire Ambrose and pit him against 'The Game'. | In a rivalry brewed by CM Punk's former mentor, Paul Heyman, Roman
Reigns continued to look to make his mark in the WWE by costing CM
Punk his Undisputed WWE Championship match. Punk would cost Reigns
the Royal Rumble, and now they face at WrestleMania XXX.
|
|
| WrestleMania XXX host Hulk Hogan made the announcement for this
special battle royal contest in memorial of Andre the Giant, one of the
most recognizable superstars in WWE history. Only one man can be the
last man standing among the likes of Big Show, Seth Rollins and more.
| WWE legend, Chris Jericho, made his return at the Royal Rumble entering
number two - right behind Wade Barrett. Jericho in the process would take
out The Commonwealth, then beat them each individually over the weeks
to earn a title shot, losing it via controversy. Now, he gets a rematch. | 
| 
| Since winning the WWE Tag Team Championship at Night of Champions,
Luke Harper and Erick Rowan of The Wyatt Family have been successful
over all. Now they face the reformed Hardy Boyz, the re-surged Rhodes
Brothers and the pesky Usos in a fatal four way ladder match for the belts. | Paige won the Diva's Championship from AJ Lee at Cyber Sunday in
unique fashion: a battle royal. With Paige's true ability questioned, she
would take out the newly crowned Diva of the Year at the Slammy Awards
and begin her reign. AJ would return, however, and claim her rematch. |
