Nice debut for Husky Rotundo against Santino. Kenny Omega over Kaval is good, sounds like it would have been a good match. Might have been wasted on Superstars.
Miz vs. Michaels is a very strong start, and a big win for Miz. I'd love to see a rematch without a screwy finish.
I like what you're doing with Ziggler. Strong promo from him here. I don't like you bringing in Kaitlyn as she's pretty much pointless. I'd much rather see Ziggler paired with an established Diva. It'd mean more and make him seem more "legit", rather than being with a nobody. Ziggler/Cena should be a decent title match, though I'm fully expecting Cena to win.
Nice win for McCool and Gail. Not sure how I feel about face McCool. Layla/McCool would be a fun feud. Hoping to see Layla pick up the belt.
Barrett has had a great IC reign. Falls Count Anywhere with Morrison? Cool beans.
Morrison ending Barrett's reign is sad, but I don't mind him holding the belt. Hopefully both can move on to bigger and better things. The write-up for this was pretty good.
Sheamus and Ryan is an odd-pairing. The Harts looked weak because of the loss. Not a fan of that. However, the post-match attack gave them some credibility. Good recovery there. As an improvement, I probably would have had the Harts win and Sheamus/Ryan attack after the match, as it fits their characters more to do so.
I can actually see Jericho winning the Rumble. Nice win over DiBiase and the post-match promo was nice too.
Loved the tag team stuff, and the match made for next week should be epic! WGTT will take the gold, imo.
Great match between Punk/Cena, and the DQ finish with Ziggler was decent booking. Good work. Ziggler gets some sort of momentum over Cena. Didn't think Punk should have gotten involved in the attack, though I see you were using him as a distraction so Ziggler could hit the Zig Zag. Great end to the show.
Overall, great work. A pretty standard show with plenty of story progression.

From the Tuscon Convention Center in Tuscon, AZ on Thursday, January 6, 2011 - "Victory and Vengeance"
| Brodus Clay defeats Joe Anoa'i; Derrick Bateman and Tito Colon defeat Jackson Andrews and Michael Tarver; Jerrelle Clark defeats Byron Saxton |
[/color] All eight rookies introduced themselves to kick off season two of NXT; Clay used his much larger size to take care of the large Anoa'i and finishes him off with a chokebomb and gets the pin; Bateman gets the victory via pinfall following a double DDT with Tito to the giant Andrews; Clark gets the victory with an impressive 630 Splash on Saxton.[/font][/size][/td][/tr][/table] | Cody Rhodes defeats Bo Rotundo, Carlito, Primo, Zack Ryder, Justin Gabriel, Jimmy Uso, and Jules Uso |
[/color] In an eight man battle royal to give a preview four weeks before the Royal Rumble match, Cody Rhodes last eliminates Carlito to get the victory. Order of elimination: Bo Rotundo (Rhodes), Jimmy Uso (Primo), Jules Uso (Carlito), Zack Ryder (Gabriel), Primo (Gabriel), Justin Gabriel (Rhodes), and Carlito (Rhodes).[/font][/size][/td][/tr][/table] INTRO: THURSDAY NIGHT SMACKDOWNThe pyros hit the stage to signal the start of the show as Jim Ross and Josh Mathews welcome everybody to Smackdown in 2011! They talk a little bit of the last Smackdown show before the best of episode where Edge was determined as the new number one contender to the WWE Championship! Speaking of the Rated R Superstar, Edge[/color] makes his way down to the ring, getting a huge ovation from the crowd. Once in the ring he gets on the mic and says the last image of Smackdown in 2010 was him spearing Kane and standing tall with somebody who has been his tag team partner, friend, and even more recently a worst enemy in Randy Orton. But the point he is trying to make is that he has no fear for the Big Red Machine. None what-so-ever. As a matter of fact, he plans on spearing him every single time he gets anywhere near him and leaving him on the mat just to show to the people each and every week no matter what arena they are in what they will be seeing on pay-per-view on January 30th. He goes to say more but Triple H[/color] makes his way out to the ramp. He tells Edge that he wants to inform him of something. He has been disrespected lately and he wasn't even given the opportunity to challenge for the WWE Championship at the Royal Rumble and he is lucky he didn't because it would be him in that match if he did indeed have that opportunity. Edge says if that's the case, he might want to do something about it then. The crowd roar and Hunter looks around the arena and Edge tells him to come down to this ring and fight him for it if he believes he deserves it so much. The Game starts to walk towards the ring but stops at the bottom of the ramp and tells Edge he has a better idea. Tonight they face each other with that match at the Royal Rumble on the line. Edge laughs a bit and scoops back up his microphone and says he's just fine with that idea - he'll see him later on. Hunter begins to make his way towards the back once again, satisfied. COMMERCIAL BREAK[/color] Kofi Kingston vs[/color] Jack Swagger and Alex Riley[/color][/b][/font][/center][/td][/tr] [tr][td] The bell tolls as Kingston starts things off with Riley. They lock up and Kingston gets the upper hand early on. He floors Riley down with multiple hard shots and kicks and eventually makes a tag to Mysterio. He throws his opponent for Royal Rumble around the ring much like Kingston did until Swagger is tagged in. He storms in and overpowers the US Champ. However, as he goes for the Gut Wrench Powerbomb, Riley slaps his shoulder. He gets distracted a bit and Mysterio slips around and hurricanranas Swagger between the ropes. He hits off the ropes and nails the 619. He goes for the springboard splash and nails it. Riley then drags him off quickly and throws Rey's legs over his own shoulders to get the three. [/td][/tr] [tr][td] [/i] (6:50) **1/2[/color][/b][/font][/center][/td][/tr][/table] Riley quickly gets out of the ring as Kingston comes storming in. He hadn't expected that as much as Rey. Swagger rolls out of the ring as well and Riley helps him get up the ramp. They taunt to the two in the ring as Mysterio looks up in disbelief as he has been pinned by the number one contender to his title - possibly a bit of foreshadowing of what is to come at Royal Rumble. Riley motions for the United States Championship around his waist.COMMERCIAL BREAK[/color] Evan Bourne[/color][/b][/font][/center][/td][/tr] [tr][td] The bell rings and they lock up. Danielson takes Bourne right to the mat but after only a couple of minutes, they get back up and Bourne fires away with strikes and continues to go to the top rope for moves. He ends up hitting a huge DDT and then goes for Air Bourne, but Danielson moves out of the way. Once back to his knees, Bourne gets kicked right in the face. Danielson then applies the Cattle Mutilation. Bourne struggles a bit but eventually taps. [/td][/tr] [tr][td] [/i] (6:22) ***[/color][/b][/font][/center][/td][/tr][/table] Danielson rises up to his feet and pumps both fists into the air in celebration as the crowd boos him on. He gets a mic from ringside and says he talked on that last episode of Smackdown and he vowed to win the Royal Rumble and he is vowing here tonight, more confident than ever, he will be victorious! The other thirty nine can have all their hopes and dreams - it doesn't matter. They will all be crushed when the Best in the World is the winner. He exits the ring.
We cut backstage to Todd Grisham, who introduces his guest at this time to be 'The Viper' Randy Orton. He asks him about not getting another shot at the WWE Championship and now having to go into the Royal Rumble to get the shot at the gold again. Orton tells him that's the least of his concerns until January 30th. His concern right now is facing Alberto Del Rio tonight and shutting not just him up - but his little manager too. Both with an RKO.COMMERCIAL BREAKRandy Orton[/color] makes his way down to the ring as we return and Ricardo Rodriguez is introduced. He then introduces his 'leader', Alberto Del Rio[/color]. Once he gets out of his car, however, he isn't wearing his ring gear. He makes his way to the ring and gets on the mic. He says that during his week off back in his beautiful home in Mexico, he pulled something in his leg and he is unfortunately unable to compete here tonight against Randy. Orton doesn't look too pleased and Del Rio says that he, however, has found himself a suitable replacement earlier today. He hands the microphone back to Ricardo and he does some introduction in Spanish that people cannot comprehend until he shouts Ezekiel Jackson[/color]! Jackson makes his way down to the ring with Ranjin Singh, whom became his manager last summer. Jackson enters the ring as Del Rio and Rodriguez exit and head towards the back.[/i] Randy Orton vs Ezekiel Jackson w/Ranjin Singh | The bell sounds and Orton walks around a bit before going to Jackson and firing away with shots quickly. Jackson shoves him down fast though. Orton gets right back up and fires away again, but gets grabbed by the throat and tossed into the corner. Jackson uses his strength to beat the hell out of him in the corner and then takes him out with a clothesline. He hits multiple variations of slams and gets a couple of near falls. He then goes for a big boot but Orton manages to duck below it. Jackson turns right into the RKO! He hooks both legs but only gets a two count to everyone's surprise. He continues a beat down on Jackson well he's down and dropkicks him between the ropes after he gets up. He nails his rope hung DDT and backs to the corner, preparing for a punt kick! Singh, however, hops onto the apron and begins to yell at him. The referee and Orton both get distracted by it. Orton then turns back around and rushes over to Jackson as he gets up, but Zeke moves out of the way and gets back up, nailing the Book of Ezekiel and he gets the pin. | |
[/i] (10:11) ***[/color][/b][/font][/center][/td][/tr][/table] Jackson gets his arm raised by the referee and Singh comes rushing in to do so as well. Jackson stands over Orton with a smile across his face as the arena boos. He then raises his arms up with a foot on Orton's chest as he has made a statement in his return and Smackdown debut.COMMERCIAL BREAKWe return at ringside where Josh Mathews thanks everybody for being here on Smackdown and later on tonight we will indeed see the number one contendership to the WWE Championship on the line when Edge takes on Triple H. Jim Ross goes to add to it and talk about but he is interrupted by familiar music as Christian[/color] makes his way out, getting a huge pop from the crowd. He is wearing a neck brace, however, and he makes his way to the ring slowly. He takes a moment before getting on the mic and thanking everybody for the warm welcome. He says he was recently thinking about how he wasn't going to be on Smackdown to start of 2011 and he called up Abraham Washington and said he'd like to show up and give his peeps an update. At first he said no but then he demanded the time on the show and he is here now, isn't he? He says he'd like to first congratulate his brother Edge on becoming the number one contender and despite all they went through last year together, he hopes he takes the title away from that "big fat imbecile", Kane. He says he figured going into Survivor Series as the WWE Champion it'd be just another title defense whether he won or lost. Well, he lost. But that wasn't enough for Kane and he decided to attack him and crush his throat with a steel chair and now he isn't even supposed to be here for a few more months. He says he wishes he could come back and get his rematch for the WWE Title, but he isn't in good health. He promises to the crowd that he will be back when he can, however, and thanks them for their time. He puts the mic down and waves to the crowd. He starts to exit the ring but Kane[/color] comes down to the ring. He gets in slowly and stares down Christian before reaching down and taking the microphone. He tells him that he shouldn't even come back at all. He tells him he should take himself home and not dwell on the fact that he is now incapable of doing what he loves and move on. Christian nods and begins to walk off and Kane laughs his evil laugh. He turns and says he is just like his brother - a coward. Christian stops at the ropes and turns back around, getting closer to Kane. The WWE Champion then says he hopes that Edge wins tonight, too, so that when they get to the Royal Rumble - he can crush his throat just like he did to Christian. Captain Charisma has had enough of it and he fires away with shots to Kane. The crowd gets behind him but Kane quickly big boots him. He then reaches down and pulls the neck brace off of Christian. He takes him back to his feet and grasps him by the throat, lifting him and dropping him with the chokeslam. He does his pyro taunt and scoops his WWE Title up, exiting the ring with a laugh. COMMERCIAL BREAKWe return to see Edge backstage busting doors open and yelling for Kane. He continues to storm down the halls as Todd Grisham walks up to him and asks him what his reaction is to Kane's assault on Christian and Edge asks him right back "what is my reaction?" and tells him that he might want to watch. He keeps yelling out Kane's name and continues to bust through doors and eventually Christian is brought to the back with the aid of two referees. Edge walks up to him and tells him he'll get that dumb S.O.B. for him. Christian tells him to worry about Triple H tonight and then to get that dumb S.O.B. Edge tells him he'll get the job done and the referees continue to walk Christian off so he can get medical attention.[/color] Melina vs[/color] Kelly Kelly and Women's Champion April Lee[/color][/b][/font][/center][/td][/tr] [tr][td] Kelly Kelly starts things off with Serena but gets dominated easily. Melina and Serena make frequent tags and turns beating up Kelly until she starts to fight back on Serena. A tag to Lee is made after a handspring elbow in the corner. She gets in and takes down Serena multiple times and ends up flooring Melina off the apron. She then nails the Shining Wizard on Serena after tripping her to the mat and she takes the pinfall. [/td][/tr] [tr][td] [/i] (4:22) *3/4[/color][/b][/font][/center][/td][/tr][/table] Lee begins celebration as Melina screams at the top of her lungs on the outside that this isn't fair. Lee gets her championship and raises it up high with a smile, Kelly raising her arm up. Melina storms herself up the ramp completely radiating her anger to everyone.COMMERCIAL BREAKWe return at ringside where Jim Ross says Abraham Washington has confirmed five more Smackdown superstars to participate in the Royal Rumble match: Cody Rhodes, Ezekiel Jackson, Zack Ryder, Carlito, and Primo. Up next, though, is two already announced participants in action![/color] Big Show[/color][/b][/font][/center][/td][/tr] [tr][td] Show immediately overpowers McIntyre with a gorilla press as the bell rings. He then works him in the corner with strikes to the mid section and his signature boot to the throat. McIntyre fights back with strikes though, and even goes to the top rope a couple of times to hit harder moves. He ends up getting Show against the ropes at one point and McIntyre tries to lift him by the legs. Everybody is confused at first, but then realize he's trying to "eliminate" him. Show laughs and headbutts him. Suddenly, however, Cody Rhodes, The Uso's, R-Truth, and Zack Ryder rush down to the ring. They go up to Show and begin to beat down on him. [/td][/tr] [tr][td] Winner of the match via disqualification, Big Show (6:01) ** [/td][/tr][/table] The beat down on Show continues and McIntyre soon rejoins. They get him up against the ropes and try to get him over. Even the strength of the six men can't get Show as he begins to shove them away. Jimmy Uso comes rushing at him and he gets tossed over the top rope easily. Jules Uso comes next and meets the same fate as his brother. Truth, Rhodes, McIntyre, and Ryder then return to him and fire away. They start to tilt him at the ropes again but Show grabs Ryder by the throat and pulls him over easily during the attack. He then shoves them all away again and Truth comes rushing at him and is met with the Knockout Punch! Truth falls against the ropes and Show pushes him in the chest and over the top. McIntyre and Rhodes go back to him and get caught by the throat and dropped with a double chokeslam. Show goes to the ropes and taunts to the crowd before going back to the both of them and dragging them up. He grabs them both by the neck near the ropes and clonks their heads together. They fall up against the ropes and Show backs up a bit before rushing to them and clotheslining them both out. He raises his fist up in celebration as his music hits.COMMERCIAL BREAKWe return and Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre stand in front of the group that attacked Big Show before the commercial break. Rhodes shouts at them that is not what they were supposed to do. McIntyre says they need to step up better. When it comes down to the Royal Rumble match - they will be out very quickly if they cannot pull things off like eliminating Big Show. Rhodes says this alliance he has formed with Drew is not a tag team and it is not a buddy-buddy thing. It's simply business to make sure himself or Drew or even one of those in the group come out victorious. McIntyre tells them all that next week they better not screw up.
Triple H is seen backstage getting finally prepared for his match up next. However, Kurt Angle walks in and asks what the hell he was doing out there. Hunter laughs a little bit and says that he is doing what is best for him and obviously he had the better idea than he did. Angle tells him to shut his mouth because if anything he should be involved in this match. Hunter yells at him to calm himself down. He'll get this job done tonight and then he'll talk to A-Wash and see what he can do for him. Angle says that sounds fantastic and he leaves the room slowly.COMMERCIAL BREAKWinner Faces Kane at Royal Rumble Triple H vs |
[/color] Edge[/color][/b][/font][/center][/td][/tr] [tr][td] The bell tolls and the two men lock up with each other. Hunter gets the upper hand early on as he rocks Edge hard and to the mat multiple times. He uses his strength to hit a series of moves that keep the Rated R Superstar down a bit, but not enough for a three count. Edge shows his anger from what has happened earlier though as he unloads with strikes and takes Hunter down multiple times with hard clotheslines and some boots. He picks things up after a little while of back and forth action and ends up hitting the spear, only for HHH to kick out and a commercial break to follow. As things return from the break, Hunter is in control again and he ends up nailing a pedigree shortly. Edge gets his foot on the bottom rope though. He then takes him back up and nails a knee to the face, a knee drop, and a spinebuster. Edge gets free after an attempt to lock in the pedigree and he hits the Edgecution. Kurt Angle then comes storming down to the ring as Edge crouches in preparation for the spear. Hunter gets up and takes notice of him, arguing with him a bit. He ignores him and turns to the spear and is pinned. [/td][/tr] [tr][td] Winner of the match via pinfall, Edge [/i] (10:07) ****[/color][/b][/font][/center][/td][/tr][/table] Hunter slowly rolls out of the ring as Edge begins to celebrate his victory. He starts to argue with Angle and ends up shoving him aside and storming off to the back, Angle following quickly. Edge then quickly grabs a mic and catches his breath a bit before demanding the WWE Champion bring himself down to the ring. No response happens and Edge says he'll just have to continue what he was doing earlier - he'll come and search for himself!
He gets out of the ring and starts to go up the ramp. He stops himself though and turns back to the ring and grabs a steel chair from under it. He heads to the back and starts to call out "Kane", "Big Red Machine", and "Champ". He makes his way through the hallways and eventually ends up in the parking lot. He turns around and gets struck with a strike to the face. Kane begins to fire away at him and ends up getting met with shots right back from the Rated R Superstar. Edge ends up ducking a big boot and clocks Kane with the chair right in the face. He does it two more times before tossing it away and backing off. He rushes at Kane and hits him with a spear. He looks around a bit before going over to a car and trying to open the door. It is locked, however, and he bashes his forearm through it. He opens it up and gets in and starts it up. He then looks in the mirror and begins to back the car up and ends up hitting something as the bump into it is heard. He gets out of the car and has a crazed look in his eyes. However, the only thing there in that position - and apparently what he ran into - is the steel chair he used. Edge stands in the parking lot glaring down at the chair with the crowd cheering on in the background as Smackdown comes to an end.[/font][/center]

WWE RAW: Monday 3rd January 2011...Duke Rotundo beating Santino Marella was expected. Kenny Omega beating Kaval was unexpected, strange for an interpromotional match to take place on WWE Superstars really. Was decent for RAW's side of things anyway. Shawn Michaels beating The Miz was a hot opening contest for WWE television in 2011. Would be amazing if you reached December 2011, really. Dolph Ziggler's promo was solid, liked his introduction of Kaitlyn, and intrigued by him challenging John Cena to a match at the Royal Rumble, but it's so so likely that Cena will be retaining. Perfect opportunity for Ziggler to step up though, just don't understand why he's a SmackDown guy challenging Cena from RAW. He's better on SmackDown; and later in the year I could see him on SmackDown challenging for the World Heavyweight Championship on a regular basis, maybe even champion. Michelle McCool and Gail Kim beating Layla and Maryse...McCool as a face? Dislike. I buy Layla more as a face. John Morrison had to win the WWE Intercontinental Champion to remain relevant, honestly. He's taken a big drop since losing the World Heavyweight Championship last summer. Mr McMahon's promo with the Undertaker was amazing, not too fond of the Corporate Ministry angle though. I honestly think that McMahon's feud with 'Taker should be his final involvement with on-screen television: he's not got a lot left to do. Mason Ryan and Sheamus...hopefully not a permanent team. They sound awful. The Hart Dynasty need to get better. Embarrassing defeat here. Chris Jericho beating Ted Dibiase is fine, good main there. Again, there's not too much that Jericho can do now honestly. John Cena beating CM Punk is a damn good main event, liked the attack from Ziggler. Overall, it was a good show.
WWE SmackDown: Thursday 6th January 2010...WWE NXT sounded acceptable, Brodus Clay I hope is built up like a God in this season. Nice win against Joe Anoa'i. Derrick Bateman and Tito Colón beating Jackson Andrews and Michael Tarver is fine. Jerrelle Clark beating Byron Saxton was fine, sounded like the best match, but I honestly prefer Saxton here. Just the general opening episode of Season 2 of NXT. Not so sure about a battle royal for SmackDown's part of WWE Superstars, just to promote the Royal Rumble in FOUR weeks. I think it would have been appropriate, maybe two weeks from the Rumble. Still, good way to cram superstars unused into a match. Cody Rhodes winning was fine, as it was either him or Justin Gabriel that would win, a tag team wrestler wouldn't really win. Maybe Bo Rotundo, but he's not all that ready yet. Edge's promo was good to set off the show, but I liked Triple H interrupting him. Jack Swagger and Alex Riley beating Rey Mysterio and Kofi Kingston was a hot opening contest, like the pairing of Swagger and Riley. Bryan Danielson beating Evan Bourne was good, match was a bit short though. Randy Orton's promo was decent, odd set up with Alberto Del Rio siding with Ezekiel Jackson. Didn't really get it too much, but I'm all for seeing Zeke with a big push. Christian's promo was decent, Kane interrupting him was strange but they fought at a previous pay-per-view, so. Their feud doesn't interest me; Christian's too small to be convincing. April Lee and Kelly Kelly beating Serena and Melina is alright. Big Show beating Drew McIntyre by disqualification is fine. Hated how the WWE Superstars squad had to beat Show down though. Just makes people like Rhodes and R-Truth look stupid. Edge beating Triple H is meh. I'd have actually preferred Triple H winning on the grounds that he's fresh in the main events after that break whilst teaming with Kurt Angle. Edge vs Kane bores me. Adventurous final segment, was a good start to the year for SmackDown, bit busy with promos though.

SmackDown, Edge versus Triple H is a great Main Event for the first SmackDown show of 2011. Shocked to see Jack Swagger and Alex Riley go over here, but I love it. Riley with an individual push is excellent. Bryan Danielson versus Evan Bourne would be fantastic, and Danielson with the victory is good. A victory at the Royal Rumble would be HUGE for him, but I'm glad you're making him look like a contender, despite his size. Loving that Alberto Del Rio wormed his way out of a match with Randy Orton, and the beast Ezekiel Jackson returning is brilliant. I really hope you decide to push him, as he is without doubt a future World Champion. I enjoyed this segment, and I hope Kane retains the title at the Royal Rumble. Divas... bore off. The disqualifications finish to Big Show versus Drew McIntyre was an odd decision, but it made sense for the Royal Rumble build that is an annual thing in the WWE. There is always a random brawl at this time of year. Edge winning makes sense, and as I said earlier, I hope Kane retains. Overall, a decent SmackDown.

I love your Smackdown episode, really really good job AJ, really, I loved your segments and your matches, keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Edge I see him winning the belt at the Rumble for sure especially now that Edge has the momentum swinging in his favour after what Kane did to his brother Christian, Edge counters that by attacking Kane with the steel chair hitting him 3 times and having that crazed look in his face, and was going to use that car to run down Kane, loved that, that was my overall shine of the show
HHH losing to Edge, now that was to be expected since HHH is already in the 40-Man Royal Rumble Match, so no need to add him to the WWE Title Match
Big Show/McIntyre match I liked it personally, also the part when Rhodes & McIntyre started to attack Show, that also a shine for me on this episode
The match I enjoyed the most was my man Randy Orton The Viper facing off against Ezekiel Jackson, in a First Time Ever Match, that was my favorite match of the night, with Ezekiel winning he is for sure a future WWE or World Heavyweight Champion for sure, but right now it is definitely not his time.
I am loving an Orton/Del Rio feud, you have just made all of my dreams come true AJ, really
Danielson vowing to win the Royal Rumble, with that much star power in the Rumble, I definitely do not see him winning it at all, if anything I see him in like Final 6 superstars and then getting eliminated
A-Ri, definitely can see him becoming US Champion soon, especially if he beats Rey at the Rumble but I cannot see Rey losing the US Title seeing as how he just won it back at TLC
Overall great show, and I cannot wait for RAW, hopefully RAW will be even more exciting

Ezekiel Jackson Update; Rumble Winner Possibilities?; HOF Inductee TalkEzekiel Jackson appeared on Smackdown and defeated the former multi-time world champion, Randy Orton. Big things are in store for Jackson as they had seemed to be when he was over on Raw following the close of ECW. Reports say that he was planned to become a top dog and even possibly challenge John Cena at the TLC or Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View. However, with the injury he sustained in the beginning of October many things had to change. The move to Smackdown is expected to be beneficial for him as the WWE creative team feels they can give him a better opportunity there - but don't expect him to be a big player at WrestleMania. He is more than likely to appear in the Money In The Bank if creative doesn't find a possible feud before that time for him. With the Royal Rumble coming up in just a few weeks the ultimate question comes every year: Who is going to win? With John Cena challenging Dolph Ziggler at the event it is more than likely Cena will end up keeping the gold. That is unless, of course, there is something big to come out of all this with Ziggler pulling off the upset. There is also Edge challenging Kane for the WWE Championship and things are certainly already personal in this feud. A possible title change at the event - but anything can happen. Let us take a look at what are some possibilities with the Rumble winner and the champions. It is probable that if a face wins, he will challenge a heel champion, and vice versa. If Ziggler managed to pull off the upset - could it lead to the feud with Cena lasting until WrestleMania? A possible appearance from Cena in the Rumble to ultimately win it all and re-challenge for his gold? Or what if it goes the other way around and Cena retains and Ziggler gets the huge victory? Cena is more than likely - after being up against seasoned veterans in The Undertaker, Chris Jericho, Batista - to go up against younger guys like he has with Miz and Ziggler lately. We could see a young gun out of nowhere possibly pull off the win if he keeps the World Championship. If Edge becomes the champion there could be the possibility of him going up against the Rumble winner and the only thing that seems likely at this point for a face versus face scenario would be if Christian returned to the ring in the Royal Rumble and became the winner. Perhaps Kane keeps the gold and Christian still wins and goes for vengeance against the man who put him on the shelves? The possibilities in this match are endless. There have been some Hall Of Fame talks being brought up again. It is likely this year will follow the rumored World Championship Wrestling theme. It is expected that Randy Savage will be inducted and others - with a likely candidate of FCW trainer, Booker T.[/font]

Oh yes Macho I for sure hope he is inducted, OH YEAH DIG IT!!!!!!!!! Booker also going into the WCW themed Hall of Fame, if he does, it is much deserved but I hope you induct the rest of the Horsemen as a group if you decide to go for a WCW style Hall of Fame, and I hope Ezekiel Jackson gets a huge push and he becomes a main eventer on Smackdown, and as for the Rumble I see Dolph winning the World Title from Cena and pulling off the upset and or Christian making his return and winning the Rumble Match to face Kane and Edge in a Triple-Threat Match at Mania

Live from the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, TN on Monday, January 10, 2011 - "Sign This"
| Goldust and Santino Marella defeat Kenny Omega and Duke Rotundo Marella and Goldust are very comedic in this match up. Omega and Rotundo don't take them seriously and toy with them a bunch. Goldust, however, with his veteran skills manages to destroy through the indy-star Omega. Rotundo comes in but is rolled up by a blind-tagged in Santino following a missed Senton on Goldust. |
[/size][/td][/tr][/table] INTRO: MONDAY NIGHT RAWThe opening pyros hit the stage well Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler introduce everybody to the show. They mention that Dolph Ziggler and John Cena will be signing the contract for their World Heavyweight Championship match at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view just a few weeks away tonight! Shawn Michaels[/color] brings himself down to the ring and he looks around to the arena chanting "H-B-K". He gets on the mic and says he has done a lot of thinking coming into this new year. After losing to two guys like Dolph Ziggler and The Miz he has believed that things are just not the same. He feels like his career isn't what it used to be and that he isn't the "Showstopper" or "The Main Event". He just doesn't see himself lasting any longer and feels like he should just pull out of the Royal Rumble and possibly just put his career to a stop. He goes to say more but is interrupted by The Miz[/color]. He struts himself down to the ring and he smirks to Michaels before delivering his "Really? Really?" bit. He says if he is going to just end his career then he should just do it right now before he embarrasses himself like he has for the past eight years. Miz shouts that he should have never came back to this company because he knows that Shawn knows that the company was moving on without him just fine. They had guys rising up and now it has even more led by The Miz! He tells him to stop with the speech because nobody wants to hear a forty five year old man whine about not being able to perform like he did twenty years ago - just face it, it's over. He goes to the ropes and leans on them for HBK to get out, the crowd booing him heavily. Michaels thanks Miz and says he's really helped him realize something. Miz asks what that is and HBK suddenly lays him out with Sweet Chin Music! He then tells him that he has helped him realize that a lot of the guys that are known as the future of this company, just like The Miz, need their teeth kicked down their throats! He throws the mic down and exits the ring, the crowd cheering wildly as Michaels makes his way up the ramp and towards the back. Miz rolls around in pain in the ring. COMMERCIAL BREAK[/color] Ted DiBiase[/color][/b][/font][/center][/td][/tr] [tr][td] The bell rings and the two men lock up. Punk brings DiBiase to the mat early on and applies a few submission holds. He then works DiBiase in the corner and goes at the head for the most part. After firing away with a few kicks DiBiase manages to catch hold of one and shove him away. He then nails him with some clotheslines and a few slams. He even hits the Dream Street but Punk slips out of the ring. DiBiase goes after him but Punk has taken off his boot and he hits him right in the face with it. He takes him into the ring and follows. He then nails the GTS once DiBiase gets up and snags the pinfall. [/td][/tr] [tr][td] Winner of the match via pinfall, CM Punk [/i] (7:10) **3/4[/color][/b][/font][/center][/td][/tr][/table] Punk isn't quite done after the bell rings, however. He backs into the corner and waits for DiBiase to get to his feet. Once he does, Punk storms at him with his boot and hits him right in the face again. He drops to the mat and applies the Anaconda Vice. He pulls back on it for quite some time before taking it off. He drags DiBiase up and throws him over the top rope in Royal Rumble fashion before taunting to the crowd and exiting the ring with an evil grin.COMMERCIAL BREAK[/color] Sheamus[/color][/b][/font][/center][/td][/tr] [tr][td] The bell sounds and Kidd goes right to work at the Celtic Warrior. Sheamus tosses him around like a rag doll in the early goings, however, and gets a couple of nearfalls. Kidd catches Sheamus off guard quite a bit as well as he doesn't have time to avoid the quickness. Kidd misses a top rope dropkick, however, and gets pelted with a Brogue Kick. Mason Ryan and Paul Heyman end up coming down to the ring and Smith begins to brawl with Ryan. Kidd gets distracted with all of it as he rises and is lifted and hit with the Celtic Cross before getting pinned. [/td][/tr] [tr][td] Winner of the match via pinfall, Sheamus [/i] (6:34) **[/color][/b][/font][/center][/td][/tr][/table] Ryan ends up flooring Smith with a big boot and then enters the ring. He drags up Kidd and drops him with his sitout sideslam finisher. He then rises to his feet and Sheamus laughs a bit, offering a handshake. Ryan takes it but then pulls him in and nails the sideslam to the Celtic Warrior as well! Heyman yells at Sheamus as Ryan rises up to his feet with his fists up high in taunt. Obviously Ryan doesn't want to be anybody's friend.
We cut backstage to Todd Grisham. He introduces his guests to be the Unified Tag Team Champions - The Dudebusters. He asks them about defending their gold in a triple threat elimination match next against the Fortunate Sons and the World's Greatest Tag Team. Croft speaks first and says that Brett DiBiase and Joe Hennig are fortunate to have the last names of legends - but they have no shot at being a successful tag team as long as the Dudebusters are around. Beretta then says that the World's Greatest Tag Team is far from the World's Greatest Tag Team. As a matter of fact - they should be calling themselves the World's Greatest Tag Team because they have already beaten them before and they'll be doing it tonight. Hawkins then smirks and says that tonight they are going to prove themselves again and remain the Dudeliest ever. They walk off laughing.COMMERCIAL BREAKReturning to Raw, Jerry Lawler and Michael Cole are shown. They make the announcement that five more Raw superstars have been added into the Royal Rumble match by orders of Jesse Ventura. Those five men will be Tyson Kidd, David Hart Smith, Caylen Croft, Trent Beretta, and Curt Hawkins.Elimination Tag Team Match for the Unified Tag Team Championships The Dudebusters w/Trent Beretta vs |
[/color] The Fortunate Sons vs[/color] World's Greatest Tag Team[/color][/b][/font][/center][/td][/tr] [tr][td] The bell rings as Benjamin and Croft start off. They go quickly back and forth to start and Benjamin early on nails the Paydirt. Hawkins breaks up the pin though and a tag gets made to Hennig. He storms in and plows Benjamin to the mat and works him for a while on the mat until a tag gets thrown to Hawkins. He gets met with a series of slams and hard shots from Hennig and then is ganged up on by him and DiBiase with frequent tags. However, Croft makes a blind tag and after DiBiase gets to his feet from a dropkick he is met with a giant superkick and gets pinned. The Fortunate Sons are eliminated. Haas comes into the ring and he tosses Croft down multiple times up until he is completely avoided on a dropkick and Hawkins comes in. He works Haas on the mat and stays atop him. He eventually nails a excellent neckbreaker and goes for an elbow drop. Benjamin, however, rushes over and shoves him off. Croft comes into the ring and Benjamin hops in as well. Haas ducks a shot and Benjamin hits a superkick, followed by a German suplex from Haas. Hawkins is up now, though, and he pushes Benjamin out of the ring and rolls up Haas with a handful of tights to steal the victory. [/td][/tr] [tr][td] Winner of the match via pinfall and still Unified Tag Team Champions, The Dudebusters [/i] (9:13) ***1/4[/color][/b][/font][/center][/td][/tr][/table] Croft and Hawkins escape from the ring quickly as Beretta retrieves the Unified Tag Titles. They all raise their arms up in victory atop the ramp as Haas and Benjamin look on from in the ring in disbelief. They motion for the gold around their waists as the champs continue to taunt.COMMERCIAL BREAKWe return and the lights slowly dim until the familiar gong blasts around the arena. The crowd rises to their feet as The Undertaker[/color] slowly makes his way out to the stage. He makes his long and eerie entrance and enters the ring slowly. He grasps hold of a mic and stares down at the mat for a little while as the arena breaks out into an "Undertaker" chant. He pulls the microphone up and says it was just nine months ago when he learned that he had been fired by Vincent Kennedy McMahon from the company he has stuck with for over twenty years. He wanders around a little bit and says that he has taken souls throughout those twenty years and that has included Vince himself a few times. He also worked with Vince at one point but now that past is nothing but the past. He mentions that Survivor Series was the twenty year mark for him in the WWE and when he made his return and Tombstone Piledrived the chairman it was one of the greatest moments in his entire career. Now he realizes Vince likes to run away from the fires that he starts - but this occasion shall be different. He goes to say more but the titantron begins to fuzz up. "Here comes..." is heard in the background and a muffled sound follows and then "1.30.11" concludes the video. Taker glares up at the titantron as it goes back to showing the live footage. He doesn't say more as the arena is completely silent. COMMERCIAL BREAK[/color] Intercontinental Champion John Morrison and Diva's Champion Michelle McCool[/color][/b][/font][/center][/td][/tr] [tr][td] The bell tolls as McCool and Layla start things off. They go right to the mat throwing each other about, McCool getting control for the most part. Layla ends up scrambling free of a hold just a couple minutes in and tags in Barrett - forcing Morrison in. They lock up and trade some shots up until Morrison begins to unload with strike after strike and some kicks get thrown in too. He hits a springboard dropkick before making a tag to McCool. Layla comes in as Barrett gets up. They both go to clothesline their rivals but it is ducked under. They both kick the gut and Morrison nails the Moonlight Drive and McCool drops her former best friend with the Faith Breaker. McCool rolls Layla over for the pinfall. [/td][/tr] [tr][td] [/i] (6:05) **3/4[/color][/b][/font][/center][/td][/tr][/table] McCool and Morrison get awarded their respective championships and they proceed to celebrate with them. We cut to ringside as Jerry Lawler makes the announcement that along with the contract signing of Dolph Ziggler and John Cena tonight - we will also have our selves a rematch from last weeks opener as the main event as The Miz takes on Shawn Michaels. Cole guarantees that tonight The Miz will bring himself to a 2-0 record over the Heart Break Kid!COMMERCIAL BREAK[/color] Chris Jericho[/color][/b][/font][/center][/td][/tr] [tr][td] The bell sounds and the two trade some shots to kick things off. Jericho gets Regal into the corner and he works him down there. He goes for the Walls early, but Regal manages to get him off with strikes. He gets back up and avoids a clothesline and nails one of his own. He works him with knees and rough elbows and forearms down on the mat. The crowd gets behind Regal as he ends up applying the Regal Stretch. Jericho qucikly gets to the ropes, however. Once back up, Jericho manages to unleash on Regal wildly with a few dropkicks and a DDT. He then follows it up with a bulldog and nails the Codebreaker on the rise back up. He proceeds to lock in the Walls of Jericho. Regal scrambles trying to put up a fight, but has no choice but to tap out. [/td][/tr] [tr][td] [/i] (6:53) ***1/2[/color][/b][/font][/center][/td][/tr][/table] Jericho proceeds in celebration as Regal struggles back to his feet slowly in the corner. He staggers up to the middle of the ring and offers Jericho a handshake. Y2J stares and then slaps his hand away. Regal looks off to the side and is kicked right in the groin. Jericho then takes him by the neck and tights and rushes to the ropes - throwing him over them. He shouts he's going to win the Royal Rumble because he is the best in the world at what he does.COMMERCIAL BREAKWe cut to a video package about the history of WrestleMania. It shows all the venues that have hosted the event with a voice over. From Caesar's Palace to the Skydome. From Arrowhead Pond to Madison Square Garden. We cut to a few flashing highlights that don't really show anything until the sign of WrestleMania XIX is shown. Now for the second time ever - WrestleMania will be coming to Safeco Field in Seattle, Washington. A few clips of the city are shown and the arena from the inside. WrestleMania XXVII is on April 1, 2012. We return to the arena where the crowd cheers on the announcement.
We return as Jesse Ventura is in his office. The Miz steps in and tells him that he wants to thank him for giving him that match with Shawn Michaels tonight. Ventura says it's no problem and begins to dial on his cell phone. Miz takes it from the GM, however, and closes it up. He tells him that he isn't finished. He wants to inform him that he will reveal Shawn for what he truly is - a washed up has been who shouldn't be around just like Jesse Ventura. He pokes the GM in the chest and Ventura snatches his phone back. He grabs onto his wrist and tells him if he wants to talk a bunch of trash about veterans in this company - then he better go out a prove it. Miz says he will and starts to walk out. Ventura stops him and says by prove it he means win it fair and square and not have to use his little cheat tactics tonight. Miz says he'll do that and then come right back here to rub it in his face. He walks out.COMMERCIAL BREAK[/color] Shawn Michaels[/color][/b][/font][/center][/td][/tr] [tr][td] As soon as the bell rings Miz hops out of the ring. Michaels isn't impressed as he starts to walk up the ramp and he chases right after him. He pounds on him and takes him back to the ring, throwing him in. He gets right up to him and fires away with shot after shot. He takes him down with a few suplexes and atomic drops and other variations of drops. He misses a flying forearm, however, and is nailed with a neckbreaker. Miz then takes some control from the ground and works the leg a bit, not wanting to be victim of the Sweet Chin Music later on. He pulls HBK up and goes for the Skull Crushing Finale, but the Showstopper breaks free with elbows to the face. He fires away once again and ends up nailing the flying forearm. He then hits a scoop slam and goes to the top turnbuckle. He hits the elbow drop and pops right back to his feet. He goes to the corner slowly, tending to the leg a bit. He stomps down hard a few times until Miz staggers up. He stays facing the other way momentarily and turns around. HBK skips over and sends his boot up, but it isn't high enough, so Miz grabs it and spins Michaels around. He hooks his arms and wraps his leg around, proceeding to hit the Skull Crushing Finale and get the victory. [/td][/tr] [tr][td] Winner of the match via pinfall, The Miz [/i] (9:46) ***[/color][/b][/font][/center][/td][/tr][/table] Miz rises up to his feet and raises his fist up in taunt. He climbs up the turnbuckles and shouts out to the crowd that he is the future of this company. He drops down to the mat and gets a microphone from ringside. He walks around saying Shawn's name over and over again. He walks over to him and kneels by his side as he starts to roll over. He tells him not to worry about a thing. Once he finally gives up on his pathetic career he'll be sitting here pretty like he already is as the brand new and much better version of Shawn Michaels. But his name is different. It's The Miz and he's ... awesome.COMMERCIAL BREAKWe return and General Manager Jesse Ventura stands in the ring with a table and two chairs with the contract for the World Heavyweight Championship match on the table. He takes a mic and says that in just twenty days time we will witness John Cena defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Dolph Ziggler. This right here is the official contract signing for that match between the two men. He has seen many contract signings in the WWE and he knows that stuff always goes down. He doesn't want any of that! If he does have anything happen he will suspend that superstar who lays his hand on the other for next weeks show. He then announces first the challenger, Dolph Ziggler[/color]. He makes his way out with Kaitlyn in his arm. He eventually gets to the ring and shakes hands with the GM and takes a seat with Kaitlyn rubbing his shoulders. Ventura then introduces the World Heavyweight Champion, John Cena[/color]. He storms himself out to the ramp and taunts to the crowd with a huge grin across his face. He salutes down to the ring and makes his way to it. He shakes Ventura's hand and shakes his head at Ziggler. He puts his hand up to Ventura as he goes to say something and picks up a microphone of his own. He says he'd like to get right on down to business and sign the contract and shake Dolph's hand and wish him luck in their match. He grabs the pen and flips to the last page, signing it quickly. He slides it over to Dolph, who takes the mic and says he'd like to take a few moments before he signs this. First of all - he knows that John would love to lay his hands on him, but as "our great general manager" Jesse put it, if he does, he'll get himself suspended from next weeks show. Cena says he's damn right he'd love to knock him out for what he did to him last week but he isn't going to because he isn't stupid. Ziggler says that doesn't sound like the John Cena everybody has come to know and love over the years. The fighting champion! Hustle, loyalty, respect! The multi-time world champion who has become the face of an entire era in the WWE. The John Cena that never backs down from a fight. When he is sick of hearing the trash being talked he does something about it. But right now he isn't going to do anything? It's pathetic. He then signs the contract and rises up to his feet saying he's really disappointed. He motions Kaitlyn along and goes around the table slowly. Cena looks to Ventura and it is clear that he says to him "I'm sorry". He storms over to Ziggler and grabs onto his arm. He drags him in and puts him up onto his shoulders. Ventura begins to warn him that he'll get suspended. Cena motions "You Can't See Me" to the general manager before hitting the Attitude Adjustment on Ziggler right through the table. He scoops up his World Heavyweight Championship as his music hits and he exits the ring, taking himself up the ramp. Kaitlyn checks down on her boyfriend in the ring as Cena raises up the gold atop the ramp with a huge smile as Raw comes to an end.[/font][/center]

Loved RAW. The layout, write-up, format, etc. are great. There seems to be a bit of a common quality amongst WWE simmers, which is that they can all write RAW like a RAW would be written. I also like the choices of people you have pushed, and match-ups for the rivalries. It's a nice breath of fresh air compared to the rivalries you get from the WWE. Your dedication to this is inspiring, and this diary deserves the spotlight. Keep it up.

-I thought that promo would set up HBK/Miz either at the Rumble, or for WrestleMania or so. But it should be great for tonight too. -A great start to the show. CM Punk over Ted DiBiase was a realistic yet smart call. -It was nice to see Kidd lead Hart Dynasty to a rebound off the tag team loss. Could make for a decent feud if planned right. -Since the heel team won here, I can't picture Sheamus and Ryan in the tag team picture now. But that team wouldn't work out long anyways. -Morrison gaining more momentum is great to keep the reign looking credible. I wonder when the rematch will be. -More of the throw over the top rope shows the anticipation the Rumble to seems to bring. I can't wait for it. -Cena standing tall to end the great contract signing, and Miz over HBK are both good. Gives some more credibility to the Miz, and the WHC Match. -Good show.

RAW: Great logo man, love it. Goldust and Santino going over is fine though the more talented duo lost out there. I haven't been on the board for a while so I'll need to catch up on a few things. Ziggler vs. Cena at the rumble sounds great, for starters but I really don't see Ziggler going over there, it's too close to Mania. I can't imagine HBK being so down on himself like that but I knew it was leading to an angle. Great promo from the Miz, very realistic and the Sweet Chin Music really added to the segment. Miz vs. Michaels at Mania seems to be what your going for and it would work well. CM Punk over DiBiase is a nice opener, a match I'd like to see. CM Punk's preview of the Royal Rumble was cool too. Quite an obvious victory for Sheamus and it made sense due to the distraction. Ryan taking out Sheamus was pretty big. Great promo their from the tag champs before the break. A Pretty big match for RAW to be honest, I wasn't sure about it but it works well as the one hour main event. Glad The Dudebusters retained. Very interesting promo from the Undertaker, it's pretty clear that 'Taker going to face someone of Vince's choice at Mania and I'm excited to see who 1.30.11 is about, though it's kinda stolen from the WWE. Pretty decent tag match their with the champions going over, nothing really developing there though. Miz vs. Shawn Michaels sounds exciting. Chris Jericho over Regal sounds fun but it was more just to get Jericho over which is a shame for Regal, still realistic though. If you made it to WrestleMania 28 that would be epic. Pretty nice segment between Miz and the GM to hype the upcoming match. I'm actually glad Miz won there, else it would've been all for nothing, great job and hopefully more build for Mania or atleast a PPV Match with HBK going over. Contract Signing is a nice way to end the show. I loved Ziggler taunting and tempting Cena to attack him, good stuff. Cena actually attacking Ziggler was surprising but something we don't often see when a rule is set, so I liked it. It was also a way to get Cena over and not have to use him on the next show so you can get Ziggler over next week. Great job man, looking forward to the Rumble.

I know I've already told you, but congratulations on the Spotlight. You were the second best choice. Raw, loving this Miz/HBK rivalry you have got going. It can really boost The Miz into the spotlight, and he is a perfect superstar for Michaels to put over. Glad that CM Punk got the victory here, and classic aftermath for a Rumble Raw, throwing him over the top. I don't see CM Punk winning though, simply because it's been done in 5 bazillion diaries, haha. Obvious victory for Sheamus here, but I loved the Mason Ryan destruction, especially taking out Sheamus because it shows he is a one-man wrecking machine. Loving his likeness to Brock Lesnar. Pleased that The Dudebusters retained the Unified Tag Team Championships, they're a great team. The Undertaker's segment was definitely intriguing, and the mind games played against him made it that much better. Can't wait till the Rumble for this one. Glad that the Champions got the victory here, but I hope you move Wade Barrett along to another feud and give him some sort of push. Chris Jericho with a victory over William Regal seemed slightly obvious, but it was good. Jericho again is too much a popular choice of Rumble winner, so I don't see you going with him. The Miz going over Shawn Michaels is huge, yet brilliant for his career. Loved the aftermath, can really see Miz saying that in my head. The Contract Signing was great, loved the ending, but I really don't see Dolph Ziggler winning at the Rumble. Overall, a very good show.

- I loved your RAW episode, really loved it, Shawn Michaels I can probably see him winning the 40-Man WWE Royal Rumble Match tying Stone Cold in Royal Rumble wins with 3 wins, especially after what he did to Miz by laying him out with Sweet Chin Music but losing his match to The Miz, doesn't matter, Michaels has to be a favorite in this match and he can be, I just want HBK to have that final run as champion before he fully retires for good - John Cena laying out Ziggler with the AA through the table, loved it, he didn't care if he were to get suspended by The Body Ventura the GM, Cena has the momentum right now going into the Rumble, I can see Cena retaining at the Royal Rumble and still being the World Heavyweight Champion going into the Elimination Chamber PPV - Jericho is also another favorite coming in especially after making a statement via William Regal, throwing him out of the ring and eliminating him, if Jericho wins the Rumble, I will be surprised - WrestleMania 28 in Seattle, I am so stoked, it will be like WrestleMania 19 all over again, 9 years since it has been in Seattle, and then 9 years later next year April 1, 2012 I love that AJ honestly - The Undertaker with the 1/30/11 segment, now that even shocked me, when I saw that, I was probably just as shocked and silent as the crowd in your story, really interested in seeing what this is, or who this is? - McCool and Morrison beating Barrett and Layla in the intergender Tag Team Match, loved it - Dudebusters I honestly thought that they were going to lose their WWE Unified Tag Team Titles in the Triple Threat Elimination Match, but they retained, even that shocks me - Mason Ryan sure making a statement by laying out Tyson Kidd and David Hart Smith, and also even laying out Sheamus, that goes to show you that Mason Ryan doesn't care about anybody except himself and Paul Heyman, definite favorite also to win the Rumble even if he is a newcomer - Punk throwing out DiBiase, to make a statement after winning the match, Punk is also a favorite too - Great job on RAW, let's hope Smackdown is even greater!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really intrigued by this Miz/HBK feud, especially since I'm a big Miz mark. Good opener, love Punk going over and I like the elimination thing in the post-match. Interested in what you're doing with Mason Ryan. I personally don't see anything special in him, but being with Paul Heyman is a win for him. Didn't even know Haas and Benjamin were together in this, I missed a lot. Glad the Dudebusters retained though. Wonder what the 1.30.11 stuff is about. Not a fan of a face Michelle McCool. Jericho is Y2J again? Damn I missed a ton. Anyway, glad he won. Excellent main event, shocked at The Miz winning again, especially cleanly. I sense HUGE things in the Miz's future. I like the small meltdown Cena had at the end, showing that he doesn't care about missing next week, as long as he gets to hurt Ziggler. Good stuff and very good overall show.

WWE RAW: Monday 10th January 2011...Goldust and Santino Marella beating Kenny Omega and Duke Rotundo is alright, nothing really special. Wasted Omega though. Not a bad RAW side to Superstars. Decent promo with Shawn Michaels calling out The Miz. Did like how Miz got laid out by Sweet Chin Music though. CM Punk beating Ted Dibiase is a solid opening contest, intrigued by what Punk will do at the Royal Rumble match. Sheamus beating Tyson Kidd...dislike. Match went a bit too long really. A solid three-way WWE Unified Tag Team Championship elimination bout, would have rather the Fortunate Sons won here though. They seem to have more potential than the Dudebusters, though the Dudebusters seem to be doing well as cowardly champions. The World's Greatest Tag Team should be the next champions. The Undertaker's promo was good, intrigued by what this 1.30.11 business is. Sting perhaps? Michelle McCool and John Morrison is a weird combination. Good opposition against Wade Barrett and Layla, not a bad match. Chris Jericho beating William Regal is fine, solid match here as expected. Strange idea to reveal the location for WrestleMania XXVIII now, in Nashville when the 2012 supershow is in Seattle, Washington. Should have saved it for WrestleMania XXVII, or an episode of RAW in Seattle. The Miz beating Shawn Michaels is a fine main event, big rub for Miz to come out on top. Solid main event promo with Dolph Ziggler and John Cena's contract signing, very entertaining. Well written promo. Overall it was an eventful show.

Strong way to start off RAW with the Shawn/Miz promo. Sweet Chin Music to Miz is excellent.
Punk vs. DiBiase is an odd match, though Punk going over was definitely the best call. Very strong opening match. The post-match stuff was great for Punk but completely buries DiBiase.
Again, obvious win for Sheamus. Mason Ryan's attack was pretty cool, although I don't see Sheamus being a face in any sort of feud between the two.
Very glad to see the Dudebusters retain. The match was very well written. Solid bout indeed. As I've said before, keep the belts on the Dudebusters.
Very nice Undertaker promo, though it's completely overshadowed by this "1.30.11" video. I'm very intrigued by this, and I hope you don't go with the obvious and debut Sting. Give us something different and original.
Decent mixed tag, sounds like a great match. Morrison and McCool winning is fine and continues both feuds well.
Jericho vs. Regal would be amazing. Glad to see Jericho pick up the win and proclaim that he will win the Royal Rumble.
I agree with Dan, it's a bit odd to reveal the location for WrestleMania XVIII on this show. There are far better scenarios to announce the location, such as Dan said, in Seattle or at WrestleMania.
Miz vs. Shawn is a fantastic main event, possibly pay-per-view worthy. Huge win for Miz.
I really liked the final segment and thought it was extremely well written and a fantastic way to close the show. Cena putting Ziggler through the table was very entertaining.
Overall, I thought this edition of RAW was very good. Very entertaining and well written. Keep it up.
