WWE RAW: Monday 4th April 2011...John Cena kicking off the show was a nice start to the show, was a surprise to see Cena already sporting the Rise Above Hate shirt. Love this role he is playing against Bryan Danielson, but he's acting as if WrestleMania XXVII didn't solve anything. Danielson then interrupting was fine, an Ironman match tonight? Hmm, that seems odd to me. Especially in a two hour window. Dolph Ziggler beating John Morrison was a big occurence, but it is finally time for Ziggler to step up. Hoping that Ziggler has the WWE Intercontinental Championship for a long time, he deserves it. In a year he definitely will have what it takes to be a WWE Champion. Nice six person tag team action to follow, the World's Greatest Tag Team with their first match as WWE Unified Tag Team Champions though? That's a little odd, I think the Dudebusters will get their rematch at April's pay-per-view. Nice win for the Unified Champions against the Dudebusters and Layla. Wade Barrett beating Rob Van Dam was a smooth, solid match, but RVD needs to regain some stamina after losing to CM Punk and Barrett in back to back evenings. Awesome Ironman match, maybe a little too much for a two hour RAW that didn't main event though. Liked that it went to an hour, and Danielson winning the World Heavyweight Championship was big; two big title changes on RAW, wow. And lastly, a fantastic promo from Shawn Michaels and Triple H, giving out Shawn's farewell to in-ring competition in the WWE. I imagine he'll be back though. I expect to see him training someone up to face his former student, Danielson though. Loads of storyline potential even with Shawn out of the spotlight. Just not so soon obviously. WWE SmackDown: Friday 7th April 2011...Good way to kick off SmackDown with Alberto Del Rio announcing himself as the WWE Champion after beating Randy Orton at WrestleMania XXVII. Another WrestleMania rematch in one week though...hopefully you'll think twice rather than putting the Draft Lottery a week after 'Mania next year. Too many reoccuring storylines. Christian beating Ezekiel Jackson wasn't a bad idea, hopefully Zeke remains relevant though. Christian is going somewhere with this "Monster Slayer" gimmick. Not sure why Wade Barrett was on SmackDown, good win against Kofi Kingston though for sure. Edge actually leaving? No! I'm glad about that. Give Edge a shot at Del Rio's title at Over the Limit or Extreme Rules! Barrett returning to take out Edge was fair - had Barrett not just competed. Too much exposure for the new Money in the Bank winner. Rey Mysterio beating Jack Swagger by count out because Alex Riley...I don't think Rey would have been happy with Riley for that. Swagger's rage with Riley is building. An eight team tournament? Interesting idea from Abraham Washington. April Lee beating Beth Phoenix was pretty big, wondering what's next for April and Beth. Del Rio was going to beat Orton obviously, it is sad to see that this WWE Championship match went longer than their WrestleMania affair though. But overall, a decent show, better than RAW. I'm hyped for Over the Limit already. Good work.

| WWE Draft - Monday Night Raw - April 11, 2011 - Webster Bank Arena - Bridgeport, Connecticut |
The opening video of Monday Night Raw[/color] airs, the pyrotechnic display hitting the stage as we come in, the cameras scanning over the Bridgeport, Connecticut crowd. At ringside, Jim Ross and Josh Mathews welcome everybody to the WWE Draft and they will be representing Smackdown! We then pan over to Jerry Lawler and Michael Cole, who will be commentating and representing Raw tonight on their show.[/i] [/color] defeats John Cena to win one draft pick for[/color] Smackdown (10:13)[/font][/center][/color][/td][/tr] [tr][td] The bell rings and the two lock up after shaking hands, Cena backing Mysterio into a corner and firing shoulders to the mid-section viciously and repeatedly. Cena takes him around the ring for a few minutes, working Mysterio a bit before getting knocked to the mat with a huge springboard crossbody. Mysterio takes control with his quickness and agility for the following few minutes, eventually Cena accidentally clotheslining the referee over. He takes Mysterio and drops him with the Attitude Adjustment, Bryan Danielson running down to the ring out of nowhere and smashing Cena in the face with the World Title! He escapes from the ring and rushes back up the ramp. Cena stirs a short while later, resting in the ropes, Mysterio unknowingly taking advantage of the situation and hitting the 619 - following it up by Dropping the Dime for the pinfall. [/td][/tr][/table] The crowd gives a mixed reaction as Mysterio takes the win without knowing what happened, the replay being displayed on the titantron. Rey places his hands on his hips and undoes the chinstrap of his mask, helping John up and apologizing for what happened and explaining that he had no idea. John pats him on the back in acceptance, the screen flashing for the draft picks and eventually landing on Smackdown's First Pick[/color][/b]. The crowd roars wildly as Cena's eyes bulge at the image. He cannot believe it as Mysterio gives a smile and offers him a handshake, Cena taking it and looking around to the crowd as Rey lets him stay in. John looks around to the Raw crowd as they give a mixed reaction to him, John looking to the mat before storming up to the ropes and taunting towards his fans, continuing to give him a mixed reaction as he heads to the blue brand in a shocking turn of events! Commercial BreakThe footage airs of what happened just before the commercial break, John Cena being drafted over to Smackdown! We return live where John is walking backstage, a Smackdown shirt in his hands as he talks with people throughout the halls. Randy Orton steps up to him and they stare each other down to a thunderous ovation from the crowd, "It's nice to have you over here, John... I just hope I don't have to come running through you..." Orton gives a slight smile and John returns it, "and I hope I don't have to come tearing you down, Randy." He pats him on the back and continues walking. [/color] Alex Riley[/color] to win one draft pick for Raw (5:34)[/font][/center][/color][/td][/tr] [tr][td] The bell sounds and the match begins off slow and fairly sloppy, Riley being dragged around like a strong rag doll in the early goings. He begins to re-establish himself, Barrett continuing to keep control though. Riley fights back and takes down the Money in the Bank winner viciously over and over again with hard slams and strikes, Barrett eventually nailing him with a big boot and finishing him off with the Wasteland and pinfall. [/td][/tr][/table] Barrett rises up to his feet and gets his arm pulled up in victory and given his Money in the Bank briefcase. He exits the ring and begins to head up the ramp as the screen flashes and finally lands on Raw's First Pick[/color][/b], Kofi coming out to the ramp to a big ovation from the crowd! He jumps around wildly and Barrett stares him down atop the ramp. He pulls his briefcase high in the air and Kingston continues to work the crowd as Barrett goes to the back. Commercial BreakWe return to an advertisement for a match just announced for later on tonight, with champion versus champion as World Heavyweight Champion Bryan Danielson of Raw will battle up against WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio of Smackdown for TWO draft picks! Heading backstage, Matt Striker introduces his guest at this time to be Danielson himself! He asks about his attack on John Cena earlier, the World Champion unable to respond as Cena comes storming up and shoving Striker away, getting face to face with Bryan. "The only reason I don't beat the hell out of you right this moment, Bryan, is because I'm a part of Smackdown now..." He pulls back a bit and offers a handshake, "So I wish you luck in the future." Bryan seems skeptical but takes it anyway and John lays down another comment, "That is if I don't see you on Smackdown - because if you do get drafted, I'm coming right for you, champ." Cena walks off and leaves Bryan staring him down as he adjusts his title belt over his shoulder. We return live to the arena where CM Punk[/color] brings himself out, being introduced for this next match by Justin Roberts. He makes his way to the ring, receiving a mixed reaction from the Connecticut crowd. He calls for the microphone and sits himself Indian style in the middle of the ring - he is in action next! Commercial Break[/color] defeats CM Punk to win one draft pick for Smackdown (8:51)[/font][/center][/color][/td][/tr] [tr][td] The bell goes off and the two lock up with each other, Punk getting the early advantage as he brings things to the mat for the opening minute, Edge soon bringing things up and showing some good thunderous work around the ring. Punk fights back and garners some momentum and goes for the GTS late in the match, Edge slipping off and hitting a huge Edgecution, but only getting a near fall. A series of just two counts follow in the next couple of minutes, the Rated R Superstar soon finishing Punk off following a distraction of Rob Van Dam walking out to the stage, delivering a huge spear and getting the pinfall. [/td][/tr][/table] Edge gets back to his feet and proceeds to celebrate his victory as RVD comes down to the ring and ascends to the top rope, Edge supporting him by pointing at him as he delivers a ginormous Five Star Frog Splash to the cocky straight-edge superstar! The crowd applauds the work as the screen does its routine flashing, it finally stopping on Smackdown's Second Pick[/color][/b]. The arena fills up with boos as Edge looks in disgust at the screen, RVD exiting and leaving him there as Barrett - after about thirty seconds, blindsides Edge from behind coming from out of nowhere with the briefcase to the back of the head! Just like last Thursday on Smackdown, Barrett has completely laid out the Rated R Superstar. Commercial Break[/color] vs Eve Torres, Layla, Maryse, and Natalya goes to a draw; Raw and[/color] Smackdown get one draft pick (N/A)[/font][/center][/color][/td][/tr] [tr][td] The bell doesn't even get to go off, as all the divas begin to brawl in the ring together. Eventually, things spill out all around the inside and outside of the ring and the referee has no choice but to call the match off; Justin Roberts announcing due to this both brands will receive one draft pick. [/td][/tr][/table] The screen begins to flash as Thursday Night Smackdown will be receiving the first of the two and it reveals Smackdown's Third Pick[/color][/b]. She looks on from ringside and gives a slight nod, looking off to the other divas as the screen begins to go off once again. It eventually lands on Raw's Second Pick[/color][/b], the diva's champion pumping her title belt up into the air as she will now be primarily competing on Monday Nights! We head to a split screen where Alberto Del Rio and Bryan Danielson are walking down hallways, preparing to come down to the ring as they will be going head to head against each other next, with the winner receiving not just one - but two picks for their brand! Commercial Break[/color] defeats World Heavyweight Champion Bryan Danielson to win two draft picks for[/color] Smackdown (9:20)[/font][/center][/color][/td][/tr] [tr][td] The bell sounds and both men trade kicks to each others mid section to start, Danielson getting the upper hand with a take down to the mat and applying various arm holds. Del Rio returns the favor, and momentum swings back and forth on the mat. Danielson hits a huge signature kick to the back of the head, and ascends to the top turnbuckle. He delivers a ginormous dropkick from the top, Del Rio knocking back into the referee and bringing him to the mat lightly. Danielson staggers in the corner but John Cena comes running down to the ring, sporting a Smackdown shirt and all, and he rushes up and delivers a ginormous Attitude Adjustment! He then throws himself out of the ring and sits in between the two announce tables, Michael Cole yelling at him, Cena telling him to shut up! Danielson staggers to one knee and Del Rio storms up to him, hitting a huge knee to the face! He hooks both legs for the pinfall. [/td][/tr][/table] The crowd gives a mixed reaction as Cena stands up and shrugs his shoulders as if he hadn't done anything. He takes the WWE Championship and enters the ring, preparing to give it to Del Rio as the screen begins to go off for the two picks to the blue brand! Cole is going nuts, meanwhile, on commentary complaining how this will be the fourth and fifth picks for Smackdown as Raw has only gotten two! The screen comes to a stop, Smackdown's Fourth Pick[/color][/b] coming up and Cole bursts out laughing! The Italian sensation comes out to the ramp, pretending to blow his trombone as he waves to the ring. He heads to the back as the screen goes off once again, landing down on Smackdown's Fifth Pick[/color][/b], this time Jim Ross and Josh Mathews seeming quite satisfied with the pick, Cole continuing his complaining to the point that even Lawler tells him to shut up! Cena approaches Del Rio and offers him the WWE Championship, the Mexican Arisocrat snagging it from John's hands and pointing in his face, telling him not to touch his belt. He throws it over his shoulder and gives a disgusted look towards Cena, exiting the ring slowly. Commercial BreakIn a new video segment, WWE Week in Review - the WrestleMania XXVII event itself just last Sunday has highlights shown from it. We also capture footage from Raw last week where Shawn Michaels made his retirement and Bryan Danielson won the World Championship in an Ironman Match against John Cena, and also last week on Smackdown Alberto Del Rio retains his WWE Championship against Randy Orton in a WrestleMania rematch. [/color] Christian[/color] to win one draft pick for Raw (6:38)[/font][/center][/color][/td][/tr] [tr][td] The bell tolls and Ziggler fires off with strikes, backing Christian into a corner. They begin to trade shots back and forth and eventually Christian takes over the control. He works the Intercontinental Champion all around the ring and eventually gets him to roll out and go up the ramp. Christian follows after him and brings him back to the ring, Ziggler getting up first and completely taking control of the match. Moments later, Christian gains momentum with a series of hard knock downs and a top rope crossbody, and attempts the Killswitch. Ziggler scrambles free however, and hits a huge Zig Zag and gets the pin. [/td][/tr][/table] The crowd boos the cocky champion, Kaitlyn awarding him his title belt as he takes hold of a microphone. "Whoever it is that I have gotten drafted over here to Monday Night Raw - in what a pitiful night it has been for this brand - I dare whoever it may be to come out here and come face to face with Perfection!" The crowd gives a mixed reaction as the screen begins to go off, eventually landing down on Raw's Third Pick[/color][/b] - the crowd going nuts and Ziggler's eyes expanding wide as the music of The Game[/color] hits and the lights dim down, the crowd losing it with cheers. The lights come up, the music fades out and Ziggler grins as he props his title belt up on his shoulder, exiting the ring with Kaitlyn, lucky not to come face to face with the Cerebral Assassin. Commercial BreakWe return to the draft, and backstage in the Raw locker room comes the Intercontinental Champion cockily. He doesn't get any acknowledgement from his fellow brand members except for one cry out from the background of, "Hey! Dolph's here! Hahaha!" Ziggler completely ignoring that remark and looking to all the others, "What's the matter!? You all can't win a draft pick for your own brand so you hate on me? You're all jealous. Not just jealous that I can actually win matches, but I am the Intercontinental Champion, and I am perfection!" He storms out of the room as the rest just shake their head. We head into the office of Vickie Guerrero and she is talking with Smackdown's General Manager Abraham Washington. "Abe, tonight has been a good night but I still want to discuss possibly making a trade to bring John Cena back to Raw!" Abe chuckles as he lights up a cigar, sitting back on the sofa slowly, "I don't know, Vickie, it'll take a lot to get him off of my brand." Vickie leans down next to him on the couch with puppy dog eyes, "Please, Abe? I'll do... anything.." The crowd gives a disgusted sound in the background as the Smackdown General Manager raises his eye brows and begins to lean in, the door soon being burst open by Edge! He comes rushing in and notices the awkwardness of the situation, looking to his former partner in Vickie and shaking his head. "Stay away from it, dude," He says to Abe before continuing, "This Thursday, I want Wade Barrett one on one!" Washington slowly gets up and wipes at his suit, preparing to speak but being cut off by Edge, "No discussions. I'm getting Wade Barrett in that ring this Thursday. End of story." He storms out. Commercial Break[/color] defeat Curt Hawkins and Trent Beretta w/Caylen Croft to win one draft pick for[/color] Smackdown (4:05)[/font][/center][/color][/td][/tr] [tr][td] The bell sounds, the commentary team putting over that this is not a part of the tournament to determine number one contenders to the Unified Tag Titles, but more of a preview. The match starts off with Hawkins and Watson, the heel getting the upper hand and making frequent tags with Trent. They keep the momentum for almost the whole time until a quick tag is made to Young and they double up on Beretta, cleaning house with Hawkins as they launch him over on Croft and hit a double flapjack and get the pinfall for themselves and the Smackdown brand! [/td][/tr][/table] Michael Cole breaks out into anger once again, saying that the Raw brand is embarrassing him so much tonight that he might just want to be the one drafted right here! Jerry Lawler says that would be nice, but the screen doesn't land on him as it drops down upon Smackdown's Sixth Pick[/color][/b], the arena giving a small pop for the former Rumble winner gone south. He steps out to the stage and seems a little bit satisfied, giving a thumbs up to the team in the ring. We head to a graphic, for up next a twenty man battle royal will take place where ten men from each brand will go at it, and the team with a member or members of their brand last standing will be the winners and they will take home the final two draft picks of the night! Commercial Break[/color] WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio, United States Champion Jack Swagger, John Cena, Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio, Wade Barrett, Edge, Ted DiBiase, John Morrison, and Christian[/color] for two draft picks[/font][/center][/color][/td][/tr] [tr][td] As soon as the bell rings, a whole mess spreads around the ring. Smackdown gets smart, however, and gangs up on the biggest Raw member in Ryan and topple him over the top rope. Mason Ryan is eliminated. After a couple of minutes of reckless battle, the United States Champion gets launched by the Whole F'n Show, RVD, along with Ted by Miz. Jack Swagger and Ted DiBiase are eliminated. We end up going to commercial break, and when we return there have been many more eliminations over the course of that time. Charlie Haas, Shelton Benjamin, Rob Van Dam, Christian, and John Morrison have been eliminated. Six men remain on both sides and Edge suddenly snaps and rushes up to Barrett and clotheslines him over, taking himself out as well! Edge and Wade Barrett are eliminated. The two Smackdown members, but recent rivals, battle it out with each other until they are separated by officials. After a couple of minutes, Cena hits the Attitude Adjustment on Sheamus, also dropping him out of the ring. Sheamus is eliminated. A couple of minutes later, Kofi goes for the Trouble in Paradise on Del Rio but he misses and Mysterio dropkicks him up into the ropes, Orton tipping him up and over. Kofi Kingston is eliminated. Shortly after, Miz climbs to the top rope and gets hung up by Mysterio. He climbs up with him but Punk comes over and pushes him off, but the San Diego native pulls Miz down with him hard! Rey Mysterio and The Miz are eliminated. With just six men remaining, things go finisher crazy as Orton hits the RKO on Punk, Ziggler hits the Zig Zag on Del Rio, and Danielson gets Attitude Adjusted by Cena. A couple of minutes pass by until Ziggler shocks everyone by eliminating Orton from behind. Randy Orton is eliminated. Punk then goes for a springboard into Cena but is caught and they fall back to the ropes, Del Rio pulling down and Punk tipping over. CM Punk is eliminated. The World Heavyweight Champion steps to the middle of the ring and throws his hands up, stepping over the top rope. Del Rio comes over to him and Danielson quickly clutches his head and begins to pull him. Cena rushes over to help his brand but Ziggler comes storming up behind the two of them and tips them both over with Bryan, being the last man standing! [/td][/tr][/table] Ziggler pumps his fist into the air as he has sole won two draft picks for Monday Night Raw! He is once again awarded his Intercontinental Championship and raises it up above his head as the screen begins to flash wildly, all superstars watching the screen as it begins to slow down for Raw's Fourth Pick[/color][/b], the arena popping as the man behind the mask makes his way back out, waving towards everybody with a smile as he gives some applause towards the fans. He steps off to the side as the screen goes off for the final time tonight and eventually slows down and stops upon Raw's Fifth Pick[/color][/b], the crowd going nuts as the Viper turns from atop the ramp and looks back to the ring and glancing around the arena. He gives a slight smile and taunts to the crowd, firing them up! As this continues on, the commentary squad speaks of how things are now shaken up, and promote that tomorrow at noon eastern the Supplementary Draft will be taking place - so keep watch for that! A final good night is given, the WWE Universe now shaken up as Raw comes to a close.[/font][/center]

- I love the Draft especially with John Cena getting drafted over to Smackdown because with him on Smackdown he can feud with the WWE Champion Del Rio and also with him on Smackdown maybe we can get to see a Heel John Cena on Smackdown and perhaps you can bring The Rock back to feud with Cena on Smackdown, and who knows maybe we get to see The Thuganomics side of John Cena come back especially now that he will be on Smackdown
- Kofi Kingston now that he is back on RAW, he can actually become Intercontinental Champion once again or he can become a future WWE Champion, because I think this could be his year of breakthrough finally into the main event
- Wade Barrett now that he is on Smackdown he can cash in on whoever the WWE Champion is on Smackdown, but he can always go back to RAW if he cashes on the World Heavyweight Champion is, either way he can make Smackdown his brand and he can also feud with whoever they place in front of him and he has the briefcase, I want to see him feud with Edge and especially to have them feud over the briefcase would be awesome
- Natalya with her on Smackdown you can have her turn heel finally
- April Lee with her on RAW she can feud with the other divas like Beth Phoenix, Layla, Kharma, the Bellas, Melina, etc.
- Santino Marella I could care less about if he gets drafted to Smackdown
- John Morrison back on Smackdown he needs a change of scenery
- Triple H back on RAW, with him I hope he turns heel again because he is better as a heel if you ask me, and with him back on RAW he can go for the World Heavyweight Championship once again as a heel if you turn him heel
- DiBiase on Smackdown with him on Smackdown I hope you turn him heel because as a face he has been going nowhere if you ask me, he won a Rumble sure, but what has DiBiase really done since then? Not a damn thing, he hasn't won any titles, he hasn't won the World Heavyweight Championship nor he has won the WWE Title, DiBiase needs to be pushed and he needs to be pushed as a heel
- Rey Mysterio back on RAW, he can go for the WWE Championship or even the IC Title
- Randy Orton my man is back where he belongs back on RAW, and with him he can feud with Danielson now for the WHC

WWE RAW: Monday 11th April 2011...Rey Mysterio and John Cena to open the show is a HOT opening contest, and I like it. I didn't like Cena losing cleanly though, he went from losing the World Heavyweight Championship to losing to Rey Mysterio. Being drafted to SmackDown too, hmm. Cute little segment afterwards with Cena running into Randy Orton. Next up, a nice filler match with Wade Barrett beating Alex Riley to bring Kofi Kingston over to RAW. It did its job. Liked Cena's threat towards Bryan Danielson, if he was to be drafted over to SmackDown. Edge and CM Punk surely had a great match, good win for Edge, but SmackDown seem to be dominating a draft for the first time ever. Wade Barrett to SmackDown is a blow for RAW in my mind. The divas match was eh, and evened things out; the RAW Divas side looks so weak. AJ and Natalya trading places next could prepare some refreshened divas matches, although both womens divisions will just clash and all go after AJ anyway. Was an odd match as the WWE Champion met the World Heavyweight Champion, two heels and all. Alberto Del Rio with the win was a wise decision though. Santino Marella to SmackDown did little for me, whereas John Morrison leaving RAW is another blow to the flagship show. Dolph Ziggler finally getting a win for RAW is great, nice match against Christian. Triple H is a huge gain to RAW. Ziggler and Hunter feuding would be amazing. HEY, DOLPH'S HERE, HAHAHA! Edge making demands for SmackDown, interesting. The South Beach Party Boys...eh. Filler match to define the tag team division for this Draft. I think the Dudebusters should have had the win though, to even the score. Ted Dibiase to SmackDown is for the better. And lastly, great main event, it was star packed. Ziggler sole surviving, yes! He's a team player for RAW clearly. Rey Mysterio and Randy Orton to RAW, great decisions made. Overall, a decent Draft special editon, but it was too SmackDown dominated.
WWE Supplemental Draft: Evan Bourne to RAW could be good, I could see you starting up Air Boom anyway, with Kofi Kingston now on RAW as well. Carlito and Beth Phoenix to RAW was interesting. Mason Ryan to SmackDown...It's hard to be interested in this guy anymore. The World's Greatest Tag Team to SmackDown is great, back to their roots. I hope William Regal gets one last good run on SmackDown. Drew McIntyre to RAW is great, Percy Watson I can't care less about. Maryse to SmackDown, Serena to RAW, Layla to SmackDown. Eh. Ted Dibiase's brother Brett on SmackDown is a good choice additionally. Tyson Kidd to SmackDown is great. Pretty eventful, but SmackDown has TOO much power.

4/14/11 NXT and Superstars Results; Raw Star Injured; On Hiatus Stars; Smackdown Live; Primo Reported by A.J. Mathews
NXT - April 12, 2011 - Derrick Bateman defeated Brodus Clay via count-out as Clay argued with his pro, John Morrison, on the outside and refused to return to the match. - The pro vote was conducted, but the votes for who would be eliminated tied between Saxton and Clark. A match would then be set up (apparently by rules as announced by Striker) with the loser being officially eliminated from the show and being fourth place. - Byron Saxton defeated Jerrelle Clark in a Loser Leaves NXT match following help from his pro, Dolph Ziggler, as he pushed Clark off of the top rope as he was ready to attempt his 630 Splash. Saxton would take advantage and get the cheap pinfall.
Superstars - April 13, 2011 - Ezekiel Jackson defeated Justin Gabriel; Zeke continues an attack with a torture rack until Mason Ryan storms to the ring and confronts Zeke, turning back to Gabriel and applying a torture rack of his own. After tossing him down, Jackson hits a huge Book of Ezekiel to which Ryan returns with a ginormous sidewalk slam. The two monsters stare each other down, Ryan heading off first. - Carlito defeated Goldust via pinfall in a fairly decent back and forth match. - The South Beach Party Boys were interviewed by Matt Striker, the duo saying that they intend to go into this four team tournament this Monday Night and winning, then winning again, and then going on to Over the Limit to take the Unified Tag Team Titles from the Worlds Greatest Tag Team. - Zack Ryder defeats R-Truth via pinfall in a match primarily dominated by Truth until the crowd gets behind Ryder to rip through him. After the match, however, Truth loses it and begins to beat Ryder up all around the ring, ultimately laying him out with a chair shot.
- It is being reported at this time that Joe Hennig sustained a broken wrist during his dark match last night with Mark Jindrak; Jindrak, whom signed a limited contract with the WWE a few months ago, hit Hennig with an inverted suplex and Hennig landed on his arm.
- The following superstars are currently on hiatus from the WWE, also mentioned is the known reasons why along with the timetables of their return: Triple H (requested time off - expected to return before the end of the year); The Undertaker (requested time off - unknown return time); Chris Jericho (requested time off - expected to return before the end of the year); Evan Bourne (injured in February - anticipated back before June); Kurt Angle (contract expired); Kane (nagging injuries - anticipated back in a couple of months); Joe Hennig (broken wrist - anticipated back this Summer).
- It appears that Thursday Night Smackdown will officially become live on Thursdays following Over the Limit; the date of that show will be May 5.
- In our last bit of news, Primo has reportedly been sent down to Florida Championship Wrestling to work with Tito, his cousin whom had appeared on NXT earlier this year, and Hunico. It is expected that the trio will be called up together later on this year if all goes well in FCW.

The Draft edition of Raw is always good. Rey Mysterio over John Cena is huge, and then followed by John Cena going to SmackDown is even bigger! Hopefully you don't do a WWE and send him back later on. Wade Barrett over Alex Riley was obvious, and Kofi Kingston to Raw is a good move. A good victory for Edge over CM Punk and then Wade Barrett being drafted is good, but Barrett can go anywhere really since he holds the Money in the Bank briefcase. A typical Diva draw on the Draft edition for a quick swap, Natalya to SmackDown and AJ to Raw - couldn't care less. The shortness of the WrestleMania match says it all, really. Far too much John Cena on this show, and it's only half way through... SmackDown getting the draft picks are alright, although SmackDown appears to be taking the lead. Santino Marella and John Morrison to SmackDown are two good moves. A good victory for Dolph Ziggler, and Triple H to Raw is huge. Ted DiBiase to SmackDown is a good move, he fits better there, in my opinion. Rey Mysterio and Randy Orton to Raw are two enormous moves, I think Raw really took the talent here. A pretty even Supplement Draft too, overall, it's pretty good.

| Thursday Night Smackdown - April 14, 2011 - Times Union Center - Albany, New York |
The opening video for Thursday Night Smackdown[/color] airs and we head into the Times Union Center! The pyros go off upon the stage and the commentary unit of Jim Ross and Josh Mathews welcomes us to the show! Tonight, we witness as the new members of the Smackdown brand with thanks to the draft this past Monday show off what they got now on Thursday nights! Including this man about to come to the ring...[/i] The music of John Cena[/color] hits throughout the arena, as 'The Champ' comes out as an official member of Smackdown for the first time in six years! He works the crowd up upon the stage and eventually makes his way to the ring and gets a mixture of 'Let's Go Cena!' and 'Cena Sucks!' chants per usual. He gets on the microphone and proceeds to speak, "I guess it really doesn't matter where I go in the WWE Universe, because I will always be loved and hated!" He continues to garner in the mixed reaction, "But it's all good because I love all of you, even you haters. But that's not what I'm out here to talk about, guys! I'm out here to talk about Thursday Night Smackdown! Just like the good ol' days! Smackdown converted over to Fridays back when I was on the original Thursdays and then it came back to Thursdays a year ago and I was on that Thursday show but the whole time in the past six years I've been over on Mondays!" He takes a deep breath, getting a slight laugh to his comedy, "I've loved it over on Monday Night Raw. But guys, this is a homecoming for me! Now, I know some of you - especially you haters - won't like this, but now that I've ventured on over to Smackdown, I got my eyes set on the WWE Cham--" Christian[/color] interrupts John's words, and struts himself down to the ring to a good ovation from the Albany crowd. He gets in and wanders around a bit, stepping up to John, "Listen, Johnny Boy, I respect you. I really do. But I left the WWE last November following my loss of the WWE Championship because I had my throat crushed by a crazy bastard that nobody could tame. I came back a couple of months later and didn't get my shot at the title. What makes you think that you can come back SIX YEARS after leaving and getting a shot at the belt?" Christian pulls the microphone down and spreads his arms out looking for answers and Cena goes to reply to him but WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio[/color] interrupts them both! He comes out in one of his expensive and beautiful cars and continues with his signature entrance while Ricardo Rodriguez gives a Spanish introduction for him. Del Rio takes the microphone and stays on the ramp, speaking as he comes down to the ring, "John Cena... let me introduce myself to you! My name... my name is Alberto Del Rio! But I'm going to assume that you..." He laughs and gives a wink as he arrives on the apron, "You already that!" He enters the ring and steps in between the two men, "The way I see it guys, I'm better than the both of you! John, this past Monday I actually won a match and earned draft picks for Smackdown!" Cena stops him right there and inputs that he was the only reason Del Rio got the win but the champion ignores that and continues on, "You, however, John... lost your match. Then Christian! I debuted here on Smackdown when you were WWE Champion and I defeated you that very night! It also only took me about six months to capture this belt... and you'd been chasing it your whole entire washed up career." He gives a snicker and Christian goes to strike him, John holding him back as Abraham Washington comes out to the ramp ordering a stop to all of this. "Listen up guys! I got myself a plan for tonight seeing this collaboration in the ring! Alberto, you'll be defending your WWE Championship at Over the Limit - I can tell you that right now. Who your opponent is, however, will be decided tonight when Christian goes one on one with John Cena!" The crowd pops for the match idea as the trio of men all look to each other, John and Christian eventually shaking hands with each other as Del Rio looks at his possible contenders. Commercial Break[/color] Tyson Kidd w/Natalya (7:02)[/font][/center][/color][/td][/tr] [tr][td] The bell tolls and the two shake hands, Kidd suddenly slapping Morrison in the face! He takes him by the arm and flips him to the mat, working him in the opening minutes with vicious kicks and unique take downs. Morrison fights back once they arrive back to their feet, however, and hits a series of suplex variations and a corkscrew springboard splash for a near fall. The two get into high flying acts, each missing a couple of their own, up until Kidd goes for the Code Blue and Morrison manages to reverse it into a huge stalling suplex. He nails the Moonlight Drive immediately after for the pinfall. [/td][/tr][/table] Morrison drags himself to his feet and gets his arm risen up in victory. He exits the ring and continues his celebration as he has returned to Smackdown with a victory here tonight. A graphic then shows for the main event later on tonight with John Cena vs Christian! Commercial BreakReturning, Matt Striker is backstage with Jack Swagger. He asks him about how the things with Alex Riley have been collapsing for the past couple of months and Swagger snatches the microphone away, "Let's make this very clear, Matt... I am the United States Champion... Alex Riley isn't. He just wants to be like the guy who taught him everything he knows. But the only problem with that is he thinks he can overcome me and he can't." Swagger walks off. [/color] United States Champion Jack Swagger in a non-title match (6:30)[/font][/center][/color][/td][/tr] [tr][td] The bell rings and Swagger quickly exits the ring, Riley following him and chasing him around the ring and blindsided with a big boot out of nowhere. Swagger gets him back into the ring and works him around the ring with his amateur background, Riley managing to fight back against his former NXT Pro. He rallies and hits a series of hard dropping moves to lay out the champ and gets a few near falls. Swagger rakes the eyes late in the match and goes for the Gut Wrench Powerbomb, Riley slipping free and delivering the You're Dismissed out of nowhere for the pinfall! [/td][/tr][/table] Riley hops right up to his feet and goes right to each turnbuckle and begins to celebrate his victory, as he has defeated his former mentor and United States Champion! He then requests a microphone as Swagger rolls out of the ring, "Hey Jack! Since I just one upped you tonight... Let's do it again next week - but we put the gold on the line!" Jack staggers himself back up the ramp, holding the back of his head and completely frustrated. Commercial BreakWe return in the backstage area where Abraham Washington is talking on the phone. In comes John Morrison, "You wanted to see me?" Washington gives a nod and finishes up talking on the phone. "I got an offer for you, John. How would you like to be in the tag team championship contendership tournament?" Morrison looks a little bit confused and swipes his hair back with his hand, "Depends on who my partner would be..." Washington smirks, and sits him down. Wade Barrett[/color] brings himself down to the ring, Money in the Bank briefcase in hand. He gets filled with boos in the crowd and he takes a microphone from ringside. "I stand here once again before each and every one of you Mister Money in the Bank. I can cash in my contract any time I want in the next year. I could even leave Smackdown at any point and time if I get sick and tired of the reception you blokes give me." They cheer for the idea of Barrett leaving back to Raw, "But it's a shame because I love the reception I get. All of you hating me warms my heart! Last week I showed up and I laid out your hero of a Rated R Superstar, Edge, and tonight I face him one on one. Tonight, I shall prove to each and every single one of you that I can not only lay him out cold, but I can also defeat him easily and effortlessly." He hands the microphone off to Tony Chimel as he will face off against Edge - next! Commercial BreakEdge defeats Wade Barrett via disqualification (8:58) |
[/color][/td][/tr] [tr][td] The bell goes off and the two lock up, Barrett getting the upper hand with hard shots and a set of slams in the early going. Edge fires back with hard strikes of his own and takes Wade down multiple times, but he pops right back up. The Rated R Superstar hits the Edgecution out of nowhere, but only gets a two count. He then sets up for the spear but Barrett avoids it and hits a hard big boot. He works him for about a minute before going for the Wasteland, Edge dropping off and dropkicking him through the ropes. Edge stumbles over to the ropes and leans between them, being cracked in the head with the briefcase! [/td][/tr][/table] Barrett storms off around the ring, leaving Edge once again laid out in the ring. He makes his way all the way up and stops atop the ramp, looking back to the ring. The Rated R Superstar stirs a bit in the middle, looking up to Wade who continues to stare down. This goes on for a short while until Barrett forms a grin of satisfaction and makes his way to the back, Edge slamming his hands to the mat and pulling at his own hair, frustrated with the way things have gone. Commercial BreakThe Raw Rebound airs, highlighting this past Monday where the draft took place. John Cena, Wade Barrett, John Morrison, and others would be taken over to Smackdown as Randy Orton and Rey Mysterio led the pack of Superstars heading off to Monday Night Raw. [/color] The Usos in the First Round of the Unified Tag Team Championships Contendership Tournament (5:25)[/font][/center][/color][/td][/tr] [tr][td] The sound of the bell is heard as Brett kicks things off with Jules. They go back and forth in the opening, Jules making a tag to Jimmy once he gains some momentum. They work Brett together until a blind tag is made to Ted and he floors the twins. He makes a tag back to Brett and he demolishes legal man Jimmy with a set of slams and hard shots. After taking Jules down, the tag is made to Ted and he nails the Dream Street and gets the pinfall. [/td][/tr][/table] The DiBiase brothers proceed to celebrate their victory with each other, motioning for the title belts. We cut to a graphic for the tournament itself as Ted and Brett will face the winners of The South Beach Party Boys and a mystery team; those two will face off next Monday and then make the trip to Smackdown to face these two with the winner of that facing the World's Greatest Tag Team at Over the Limit! Commercial BreakWe return and the ring is set up with a table in the middle of it, a referee and Matt Striker standing aside it. Ezekiel Jackson[/color] makes his way down to the ring. While he is doing so, a flashback to Superstars last night on WWE.com is shown with Jackson defeating Justin Gabriel and Mason Ryan coming to the ring, the two of them proceeding to try and one up each other with the power that they possess. We come back and Mason Ryan[/color] comes down to the ring and he approaches the table, staring down Ezekiel. Matt Striker speaks, "Ladies and gentlemen, following the events of Superstars Abraham Washington has called for an arm wrestling match between two of the strongest men in the business! Gentlemen, you know the rules?" They both nod and the official lets them clasp hold of each other and lets them go, the arm wrestling match beginning. A stalemate is set for the first short while, Jackson getting the first movement between the two, Ryan soon fighting back! The crowd begins to give a mixed chant of 'Lets Go Zeke!' and 'Mason Ryan!' and Jackson soon breaks hold of the grasp and stands up, grabbing onto Striker and dropping him with a huge spinebuster! Ryan stands up straight and looks over to the referee, nailing him with one of his own! The crowd cheers for the two strong men, both approaching the one they didn't lay out and they both drag them up. The referee and Striker become completely victims as the two simultaneously hit their finishing moves before staring down. Unlike Superstars, however, Jackson decides to leave the ring first, giving a nod of approval towards Ryan whom returns the favor right back at him. Headed backstage, Christian is preparing for his match later on when Cody Rhodes steps into the locker room. He approaches Christian and gives a slight grin, "So you've been getting called the Smackdown monster killer and all kinds of other things, huh?" Christian stands up, "Yeah, I've been called that a few times in the past couple of week - what's your point?" Cody laughs a little bit and then stops himself and gets serious, "You may be able to slay these so called monsters, Christian, but I can guarantee you cannot slay the beautiful and dashing like myself." He prepares to leave and stops himself, stating insincerely, "Good luck in your match tonight." He then leaves with a smug grin, Captain Charisma staring off in the distance. Commercial BreakBefore our next match, Diva's Champion April Lee[/color] brings herself out to ringside and joins J.R. and Josh Mathews for commentary on the next match, Lee stating as she puts on her headset, "I'm bound to face anyone and everyone, so I'm out here to do some scouting." [/color][/td][/tr] [tr][td] Aksana, according to Jim Ross a new signing to Smackdown, is attacked as soon as the bell ring. Maryse tears into her, completely demolishing her with vicious shots to the face. She seems somewhat angry and the referee has to pull her away multiple times. Maryse stares down April and Aksana goes for a roll up, only getting a two count. They both get up and the French Diva smashes her boot into Aksana's gut, hitting the French Kiss and getting the pinfall. [/td][/tr][/table] Maryse gets up to her feet and has her arm raised by the official. She points out to Lee and motions for the belt before dragging Aksana back onto her feet. April comes rushing to the ring and Maryse tosses the new diva to the mat, rolling out of the ring to avoid the Diva's Champion. Maryse backs up the ramp, tossing her hands in the air to brush the crowd off as they boo her, Lee checking down upon Aksana and yelling out towards Maryse. We cut to a split screen, John Cena and Christian walking down a hall towards the ring as they face off for number one contendership next! Commercial Break[/color] Christian to become the Number One Contender to the WWE Championship (13:13)[/font][/center][/color][/td][/tr] [tr][td] The duo lock up to start off the main event, going back and forth in the early goings with no momentum anywhere. Christian hits a dropkick suddenly, however, and gets a near fall. He continues off of this and works Cena all around the ring, getting multiple near falls. Cena floors him with a clothesline that drops him over the top rope, however, and we go to a commercial break. Once we come back, the two are trading blows with each other. Christian ducks under one and goes for the Killswitch - being shoved away. Cena goes for the AA right as he comes back but Christian slips free and executes on the Killswitch for his second attempt! He hooks both legs but Cena just barely manages to kick out of it. They both stagger up and Christian storms right at John, being lifted in the air and dropped into the turnbuckle face first. Cena then delivers a shoulder block, the Five Knuckle Shuffle, and his top rope leg drop. He then goes for the Attitude Adjustment once more, Christian holding onto the ropes. They go all around the ring but Cena ultimately wins the duel and hits the AA right in the middle of the ring, hooking the leg for the three count. [/td][/tr][/table] Cena gets back up to his casual mixed ovation from the crowd. He helps Christian up and pats him on the back, Captain Charisma congratulating him and exiting the ring. Cena continues his celebration until Ricardo Rodriguez comes sprinting to the ring and slides in behind him. Cena turns around and Ricardo stops dead in his tracks. John laughs and takes him by the collar, backing him into a corner. As he does this, however, Alberto Del Rio comes in from behind and Cena turns right to a title shot to the face! Alberto motions for him to get up and Cena clutches hold of his head, rolling off to the other corner and eventually rising back up to yet another shot right in the face! Del Rio then stands over Cena, forming a slight smile as he brings the WWE Championship high over his head, Cena laid out, as Thursday Night Smackdown comes to a conclusion.[/font][/center]

- I loved Smackdown, Cena's return to Smackdown, his first time being a member of the Smackdown roster since 2005 and now that he is back now, Cena can become more like his old self being that he becomes The Chain Gang rapper and or he turns heel, a good heel theme song for John Cena would be this song...
- (Chain Gang Is A Click)
- Christian and Cena interacting for the first time since 2005, and now all these years later they still have that same chemistry only for Del Rio the WWE Champion to interrupt and then arguing about who the #1 Contender should be and then it will be Christian vs Cena for the chance to become #1 Contender for the WWE Championship in the main event
- Morrison in his first match back on Smackdown beats Tyson Kidd, that should put him in contention for a U.S. Championship match
- Riley has Swagger's number, Riley I can see him becoming United States Champion soon enough
- Wade Barrett doesn't care about the fans booing him, in fact them despising him warms his heart and all he cares about is that briefcase he has because with it he can become WWE Champion on this brand soon enough or he can choose to leave Smackdown to go back to RAW and cash in on the World Heavyweight Champion whoever it is, only for Edge to attack Barrett but for Edge to get away unscathed, boy are things not over between these 2 men
- The DiBiase brothers Ted & Brett DiBiase beating The Usos, I hope the DiBiase brothers stay together as a team and become the new WWE Unified Tag Team Champions and they are half-way to getting there
- Ezekiel Jackson and Mason Ryan trying to one-up each other with their feats of strength, I want to see these 2 go at it
- John Cena beating Christian, I hope that Christian turns heel on John Cena and they have a rivalry
- Other than this, I loved Smackdown and I can't wait until RAW

I really enjoyed the WWE Draft. All of the superstars, except for Santino, were excellent draft choices. I like Santino but it seems to me he's more of a supplemental draft choice. That way, both RAW and SmackDown would've gotten five main draft picks each. Cena and Orton exchanging homes gives them new environments and rivalries, the same with Natalya and April Lee. RAW getting Triple H, Rey Mysterio and Kofi Kingston gives the brand some strong starpower while SmackDown getting John Morrison, Ted DiBiase and Wade Barrett helps transform them into superstars of tomorrow.
Nice to see Cena get back to his home on SmackDown. Seeing him restart his thing with Christian from 2005 and feuding with Del Rio is great. Also, it's great to see John Morrison and Alex Riley pick up victories and help make the United States Championship race even better. If anybody can help Wade Barrett become the next big heel in the WWE, it's Edge. Definitely looking forward to seeing this feud progress. Nice to see the DiBiase brothers getting into WWE Tag Team Championship contention. I guess this can help Ted out since he's been on such a downward spiral lately. I'm interested in seeing the Jackson/Ryan feud play out, perhaps leading to them form a tag team. Lastly, not surprised to see Cena win over Christian and get a WWE Championship title shot. Great show!
Keep up the great work!

WWE NXT: Tuesday 12th April 2011...Good win for Derrick Bateman and I liked how he beat Brodus Clay purely to keep Clay strong. John Morrison and Clay is an odd combination indeed. A nice farewell match for Jerrelle Clark in a hot main event against Byron Saxton. Not a bad show, but two matches is pretty short.
WWE Superstars: Wednesday 13th April 2011...Good win for the monster, Ezekiel Jackson. I sort of like Ezekiel Jackson and Mason Ryan competing with each other to see who is more impressive, attacking Justin Gabriel. I suppose it's like the Ruthless Roundtable scenario. Carlito and Goldust would have been a good match, the right man won though. Zack Ryder and R-Truth had a big main event match, hope to see R-Truth get a good push in 2011 though. A decent edition of Superstars.
WWE SmackDown: Thursday 14th April 2011...A great way to kick off the show with John Cena in the ring, and I'm looking forward to Cena starting fresh here on SmackDown. Christian interrupting? I'm glad to see that. Alberto Del Rio then stealing the show with his appearance was great, I'm particularly looking forward to how Del Rio's WWE Championship reign is booked; hopefully as a fighting champion. Nice main event made from this promo. John Morrison beating Tyson Kidd was a solid opening contest, hopefully Kidd gets a decent push over here. If you wanted to, he could make a great WWE United States Champion. Alex Riley meanwhile is in the US title picture, a good win for Riley against his former mentor, Jack Swagger. I expect to see these guys compete for the title at Over the Limit, but next week should be good as well. Wade Barrett's promo was a nice idea, and this rivalry with Edge should be amazing and give Barrett a good rub to climb the card preparing himself for the WWE Championship. Edge with the disqualification victory was well booked. The idea of this WWE Unified Tag Team Championship contenders tournament is pretty interesting and gives all tag teams something to do surely. The Dibiase Brothers beating the Usos was an interesting call, different but interesting. I could see Ted and Brett being the classic top tag team to beat if they became the WWE Unified Tag Team Champions, but I don't see it happening. Like Cody Rhodes and Christian's interaction backstage, too. Maryse beating Aksana wouldn't interest me in the slightest, haha. I guess it's to promote Aksana. John Cena beating Christian was a solid main event, good to see Cena getting the win and this could set up a big Over the Limit main event, that I'm hoping Del Rio has won. A good show following the Draft.

| Monday Night Raw - April 18, 2011 - 02 Arena - London, England |
The opening video of Monday Night Raw[/color] airs and we head into the 02 Arena, the crowd being scanned over all across. The pyrotechnic display goes off at the stage as Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler welcome us to the show live in London, England in the United Kingdom![/i] The music of World Heavyweight Champion Bryan Danielson[/color] makes his way out to the ramp, not stepping down to the ring. He pats a microphone in his hand, "I stand here in London, England... I've been here before, but I stand here now as the very best in the world and proving it by being the World Heavyweight Champion! I defeated John Cena in an Ironman Match two weeks ago after being unfairly beaten at WrestleMania. But when it came down to endurance and truly having to have the stamina to be a wrestler and not an entertainer... I showed to you all that I am indeed the best in the world. Not John Cena, not anybody! That's why I am on the Over the Limit poster because even World Wrestling Entertainment can recognize that! You people are witnessing a brand new era and you people are going to witness this era for many, many years to come. If you are too blind to recognize this... I feel terrible for each and every one of you. Because this will top the times of John Cena! This will top the times of The Rock! This will top the times of Shawn Michaels! This will even top the times of Stone Cold Steve Austin!" Danielson raises his World Heavyweight Championship high above his head before heading off to the back. We cut to an image promoting the main event for tonight where new Raw members Rey Mysterio faces Randy Orton in a number one contenders match with the winner facing Danielson for the World Heavyweight Championship at Over the Limit. Commercial BreakThe Unified Tag Team Champions, World's Greatest Tag Team[/color] make their way down to ringside and take a seat at the announce table next to Cole and Lawler. They put on headsets and give a little bit of a conversation before we get on with the match. Afterward, The Miz[/color] brings himself out to the ramp, a microphone tipped and a giant grin across the face. "Ladies and gentlemen... this is a moment you have all been waiting for... the greatest tag team the world has ever known!" He points to the tag team champions, "Not these two... have reformed! My tag team partner tonight ladies and gentlemen is John Morrison!" The two strut down to the ring. [/color] The South Beach Party Boys in the First Round of the Unified Tag Team Championships Contendership Tournament (5:53)[/font][/center][/color][/td][/tr] [tr][td] The bell tolls as Miz starts off with Young, wrecking through him viciously. Darren fights back a bit however and makes a tag to Percy and he goes through Miz as well until Morrison gets a blind tag and continues to be in control of the match. He and Miz make a bunch of tags back and forth and run through their foes, Miz eventually hitting the Skull Crushing Finale and Morrison the Starship Pain for the win. [/td][/tr][/table] Miz and Morrison raise each others arms up in victory in the middle of the ring, the former tag team champions turned main eventers and world champions re-uniting and being victorious. They turn to the World's Greatest Tag Team and motion for the gold with grins. Commercial Break[/color] Kofi Kingston (7:01)[/font][/center][/color][/td][/tr] [tr][td] The bell goes off and the two men lock up, Kingston going rapid with fists to start off. He throws in some kicks and gets caught and nailed with a huge backbreaker. Sheamus takes complete control of the match for the next few minutes, eventually going for the Celtic Cross with Kingston hopping off and delivering the Trouble in Paradise. Sheamus flops out of the ring and comes back in at a count of eight. He ducks another Trouble in Paradise attempt and rushes off to the opposing ropes and comes off nailing a giant Brogue Kick! He hooks the legs for the pinfall. [/td][/tr][/table] Sheamus props himself up to his feet and pounds upon his chest, yelling out to the London crowd. He looks down to Kingston and drags him up by the hair, getting booed for it. He pulls him up onto his shoulders and rushes across the ring, hitting a huge Celtic Cross! He gets back to his feet and continues to pound his chest and yell out, Kingston completely laid out as the Celtic Warrior brings himself out of the ring and goes towards the back with a smirk. Commercial BreakWe return and Todd Grisham is backstage with John Morrison and The Miz. He asks them why they wanted to pair back together and Miz responds, "We were the best of our time and we were split up by the draft. John came back to Monday nights with the World Heavyweight Title and I ended up taking it. Ever since I lost that belt I've been searching and searching... and I've been overlooked..." Morrison speaks up next, "Getting drafted over to Smackdown I thought would give me another opportunity but I realized after I was in the opening match and not getting my shot at the WWE Championship I would be overlooked. So now The Miz and I, the former World Champions, pair up once again overlooked." Miz leans in to the microphone, "We're going to take the Unified Tag Team Titles and that's facts because we're... awesome." The duo walk off. We head into the locker room area where Kaitlyn is massaging Dolph Ziggler when CM Punk walks in. Ziggler pulls himself up asking what the hell he wants, Punk chuckling in return, "Well you're not just facing me tonight, you're facing Rob Van Dam. Plus your title is on the line... and, honestly, I wouldn't mind bringing the Intercontinental Championship back over my shoulder some day." Punk gives a smile and Ziggler goes to speak but gets cut off, "But those aren't my intentions tonight. I want you to do me a favor and help me take Rob out of the equation. Let's just say I want to teach him a lesson. After he's done with, I'll be right there laying down for you to take the smooth victory." Ziggler looks to Kaitlyn, his Intercontinental Championship, then Punk, "Sounds like a plan to me, Punk." The Straight Edge Superstar smiles, pats him on the shoulder, and walks out of the room. Commercial Break[/color] CM Punk and[/color] Rob Van Dam to retain the Intercontinental Championship (9:49)[/font][/center][/color][/td][/tr] [tr][td] The bell rings, the pair of Ziggler and Punk immediately going right to RVD and flooring him to the mat. They double team him for the opening minutes and eventually get him out of the ring. They follow after him and drop him over the announce table and return to the ring, Punk kneeling down slowly and laying on the mat. The crowd boos as Ziggler goes down for the pin, Punk rolling him up out of nowhere! Ziggler manages to squirm free, however, and he loses it on Punk. They trade shot after shot and Ziggler eventually hits the Zig Zag and Punk rolls out of the ring, leading to a commercial. After we return, Punk is back in control over the champion and he goes for the GTS after just a couple of minutes, Ziggler getting free and being clocked with a kick to the back of the head. Rob returns to the ring out of nowhere and begins to fire off at Punk, hitting him with a spinning wheel kick and taking control of the match. Ziggler goes for a double clothesline but both Punk and Rob roll him up and get the three count at the same time! The bell is rung and both men begin to celebrate the win, the referee waving his hands. He talks at ringside and Justin Roberts makes the announcement, "Ladies and gentlemen... referee Chad Patton has just informed me that since both Rob Van Dam and CM Punk got the pin count, this match shall be restarted right now!" Both argue over it and Ziggler shoves RVD into Punk from behind and drops him with the Zig Zag right after and hooks both legs for the pin! [/td][/tr][/table] Ziggler slips out of the ring and Kaitlyn rushes over to him with his championship, helping him to his feet and hugging him tight. Ziggler props the title belt high in the air with a huge smile. Punk re-enters the ring and stares up at Ziggler atop the ramp and begins to charge to the ropes, throwing his hand away in a way of "forget it" and rushes over to RVD and drags him up, hitting a huge Go to Sleep right in the middle of the ring! He drops down to both knees and smiles demonically to the camera. Commercial BreakWe return to the WWE Week in Review. Last Monday, the draft took place and superstars such as Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio, and Kofi Kingston bring themselves over to Monday Night Raw while superstars like John Cena, John Morrison, and Wade Barrett go over to Thursday Night Smackdown. Then last Thursday on Smackdown, John Cena defeats Christian to become the number one contender for the WWE Championship. Alberto Del Rio attacks him after and stands tall. [/color] Diva's Champion April Lee and Aksana[/color] (3:37)[/font][/center][/color][/td][/tr] [tr][td] Maryse attacks Aksana, whom she defeated on Smackdown, as soon as the bell rings. She makes frequent tags back and forth with Beth until Aksana hits a kick to the face of Beth out of nowhere and makes the tag to Lee, whom comes in and floors Beth multiple times. Maryse makes a blind tag as April hits a Shining Wizard on Phoenix, and Maryse nails the French Kiss once April turns around and gets the pinfall. [/td][/tr][/table] Maryse and Beth celebrate their victory as Aksana comes in and checks on the Diva's Champion whom saved her this past Thursday on Smackdown. Maryse and Beth back up the ramp satisfied with their victory. We head to a graphic once again for tonight's main event. Commercial BreakReturning, Vickie Guerrero has CM Punk in her office, "CM Punk, I'm guessing you'd like me to get straight down to the point of why I called you in here," He crosses his arms and nods, "Well, I saw you plotting with Dolph earlier on about taking Rob Van Dam out... since that seemed to not go entirely your way and you decided to take your anger out with a GTS to Rob after your match... I've decided that at Over the Limit next Sunday you two will face off one on one in a street fight!" The crowd cheers in the background as Punk begins to laugh a bit, silencing the arena, "You think that intimidates me, Vickie? Because all it does is put your 'talent' in danger because I guarantee you I will go over the limit when I face him." He walks out. We go to see Dolph Ziggler and Kaitlyn walking through the halls to leave. He bumps into Randy Orton and turns to him angry, "Watch where you're walking, moron." Ziggler begins to keep walking away as Orton is stopped in his tracks. He tilts his head around and stomps behind him, Ziggler turning around and Orton pinning him against the wall, "Why don't you watch where you're showing up, champ?" He strokes the Intercontinental Championship with a snicker and then gets serious again before backing off and continues to walk away, Ziggler gulping and taking Kaitlyn by the hand, ushering her over to somewhere else as the number one contenders main event is next! Commercial Break[/color] Randy Orton to become the Number One Contender to the World Heavyweight Championship (10:34)[/font][/center][/color][/td][/tr] [tr][td] The bell rings and the two men lock up and trade shots with each other. Mysterio gets the upper hand and flies around the ring, bringing Orton down multiple times. The Viper fights back out of nowhere and floors Rey down with a giant boot to the face. He works him around the ring with powerful moves and gets the complete upper hand, getting a series of near falls. He goes for the RKO at one point, Mysterio slipping free as Orton jumps and nailing a hurricanrana that drops Orton outside of the ring. A commercial break interrupts, and we return to Orton in control once again. Bryan Danielson appears a minute later and watches from atop the ramp, both competitors taking notice. Rey drops Orton in between the ropes a couple of minutes later following a surge of momentum and delivers the 619. He goes for the springboard senton, Orton managing to catch him. Rey hits another hurricanrana and drops him between the ropes again! He pushes off of the ropes and comes back with the 619 and delivers a huge frog splash from the top rope and gets the three count! [/td][/tr][/table] Mysterio gets to his feet, the crowd giving a mixed reaction as there are a lot of Orton fans. Rey continues celebration anyway, Danielson standing tall a top the ramp just staring a hole through his contender. He begins to applaud very slowly as Mysterio points towards him and motions for the gold, Danielson unstrapping it from his waist and propping it into the air with no expression change whatsoever as Monday Night Raw comes to an end with the stare down.[/font][/center]

RAW Review
- Opening the show with the World Heavyweight Champion Bryan Danielson was a good touch and I loved how he cut his promo by saying how we are all living in a new era, the era of Bryan Danielson and that he showed why he is the Best In The World beating John Cena to become the new World Heavyweight Champion and how he mentioned the greats of Rock, Austin, and HBK and how he is going to top all of their eras by staying champion for a long time was great
- The WGTT on commentary for the next match was great, and Miz & Morrison reuniting I have to admit was shocking considering Morrison is a face and Miz is heel, so I can't see how their reunion would work unless Miz turned face or Morrison turned heel, I don't see Miz and Morrison lasting for long as a team because both of them are egotistical, both have massive egos, so I can't see them co-existing, either Miz will turn on Morrison or Morrison will turn on Miz, either way their reunion to me seems forced and completely out of the blue if you ask me
- Miz and Morrison beating The South Beach Party Boys in the Tag Team Tournament was great, but their reunion won't last long because one way or another if someone on this team screws up just once, that is it, and the other will turn on the other, this reunion seems out of the blue and there was no real build-up at all for this reunion, so to me again it just seems completely out of the blue and completely forced
- Sheamus beats Kofi in a great match but after the match Sheamus attacks Kofi and lays him out, that I loved about RAW, Sheamus is just mean and I love that, if only Sheamus could turn his attention towards the World Heavyweight Champion Bryan Danielson
- Punk and Ziggler backstage segment was great too
- Ziggler beats Punk and RVD, now that was great, and after the match Punk attacks RVD and lays him out, and then afterwards finding out that at Over the Limit him & RVD will go at it again this time in a Street Fight was great
- Divas match I could care less about
- Ziggler/Orton backstage segment was great, I love how my man Randy Orton just intimidated Ziggler and Kaitlyn both, you should make Orton more dangerous, you should have him start punting superstars in the head once again, and I would love it if we could have a Ziggler/Orton feud
- Rey Mysterio beating my man Randy Orton, I have to give credit where it's due, Rey really deserved the win but I see Orton somehow getting into this match to make it a Triple-Threat Match for the World Heavyweight Championship
- All in all, a surprisingly great RAW

I really dug RAW this week. I just love how you're pushing Bryan Danielson as the World Heavyweight Champion. I've always enjoyed his work as a heel back before he signed with WWE and I think he can be the most entertaining heel in the industry. I was surprised by the reunion of the Miz and John Morrison, who I'm assuming is heel now, but I too enjoyed seeing them victorious over the South Beach Party Boys. Sheamus over Kingston was great as it helps get the Celtic Warrior over even more as a badass. Loved the interaction with Ziggler, RVD and Punk; all of them being great talents. I've always been a supporter of the Divas and think they can bring something more to the table aside from looking good if given the chance. Having April Lee as champion can help that cause as she could be the new face of the division by appealing to male and female alike. Great to see Mysterio become #1 contender and reignite the rivalry he had with Danielson last year, as well as holding off on Orton for the time being. If the interaction between Orton and Ziggler meant anything, it could lead to a great rivalry that can help raise Ziggler's stock as a big-time player. Great read, can't wait to read more.

Where are Chris Jericho, The Undertaker, Triple H and Kurt Angle? You would think that they would all be here after the draft
Kurt Angle what brand is he on? Smackdown, if he is, then why doesn't Kurt Angle go for the WWE Championship
Or Triple H, how come he doesn't challenge Danielson for the title or even Undertaker for that matter?
And Jericho you would think after retiring HBK, he would show up on RAW

I don't know when... but I am about 99.9 percent sure I won't ever step into the ring again for a competitive match. What I said on Raw the night after WrestleMania was all straight from the heart. Nothing scripted. I just poured my heart out to everyone and as much as I love the business, I love my family more."

- Now I know what to expect in this calendar year from you A.J. in terms of your pay per views and I am glad that you are bringing back the King of the Ring pay per view, and will the King of the Ring be a yearly PPV? If it is, then that is great and a question about it too, whoever wins the King of the Ring tournament and whoever is crowned King, will they get a WWE Championship match or a World Heavyweight Championship match at Capitol Punishment or at SummerSlam
And I am glad that you are bringing back Vengeance too
