WWE NXT: Tuesday 10th May 2011...Looking forward to seeing who will win the NXT Season 2 finalé next week, although this surely means that the show will be pretty weak tonight. Derrick Bateman beating Brodus Clay in the obstacle course was amusing, liked that Brodus refused. Brodus Clay then beating William Regal was pretty sweet, interesting main event idea with John Morrison and Derrick Bateman not getting started. I didn't like NXT though, two segments and not even two matches is really bad to fill up forty minutes of television.
WWE Superstars: Wednesday 11th May 2011...R-Truth beating Justin Gabriel sounded good, liked Truth showing a brutal side to himself. Drew McIntyre then beating David Hart Smith was fine but didn't do a great deal for me really. Sounded like a solid main event win for Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin against Percy Watson and Darren Young. A decent episode of Superstars.
WWE SmackDown: Thursday 12th May 2011...Good promo to kick off the show with Alberto Del Rio talking himself up as the WWE Champion, and I liked the interruption from John Cena, I am much preferring SmackDown over RAW since the Draft shakeup. Randy Orton getting involved was a good call to make. SmackDown seems far too powerful compared to RAW though, I'd have switched the brands around. Sin Cara beating Tyson Kidd was a solid opening contest in Cara's debut. Hopefully he doesn't mess this one up. Did like Jack Swagger interrupting things, just hoping Cara doesn't take Swagger's WWE United States Championship. Not at this point anyway. April Lee against Kharma sounds interesting, could see all of the Divas attacking Kharma honestly. Easy win for the dominant Kharma against Aksana, the segment didn't do a lot for me though. No Implant Buster? Her destruction of April Lee was a great touch. Edge beating John Morrison was a fine decision, a fantastic first-hour main event win for Edge, but I feel like this feud with Wade Barrett needs more promo time in all honesty. 6/20/11? Who is this, the Undertaker or someone? I wonder what his business is here on SmackDown in 2011. The Usos with Abraham Washington is a fantastic combination in my eyes. Good win for Jimmy and Jey over the Dibiases, but Ted and Brett I have no interest in. Cody Rhodes beating Alex Riley was a pretty cool match, interested in where this feud with Christian goes from here though. Up last, great main event win for Alberto Del Rio and Dolph Ziggler against Randy Orton and John Cena, gets Ziggler and Del Rio over very well. A very good show, like I said, SmackDown is better than RAW lately.
WWE RAW: Monday 16th May 2011...Fair opening promo to kick off the show with CM Punk in the ring, the right way to open the show right here. Great promo with Rob Van Dam, I think that Extreme Rules is finally the night that ends their rivalry which has lasted quite a few months I believe. Decent opening contest, could have been a stronger match though, with Darren Young and Percy Watson beating the Dudebusters in a fair match to promote the WWE Unified Tag Team Championships turmoil bout coming up at Extreme Rules. The tag team division still isn't capturing my interest though. I feel like the Miz and Evan Bourne should have opened the show in the ring honestly, the right man won with Miz getting the victory. Up next, liked Dolph Ziggler coming to commentary for a solid first-hour main event, Randy Orton getting the win against Sheamus. I'm loving the Ziggler and Orton feud in particular. The Falls Count Anywhere match will surely be great, but it's clear that Orton is winning. I expect the Undertaker to appear on RAW as opposed to SmackDown at this point in his career. April Lee isn't on a roll as of late, good win for Beth Phoenix I guess. April needs more momentum as WWE Divas Champion to ensure her championship credibility. Kharma's attack made April look worse. This is the downside to Kharma running around in the womens division. And up next, great tag team main event with Rey Mysterio and Kofi Kingston beating Bryan Danielson and the Big Show in an oddball set-up, looking forward to Bryan or Rey walking out of Extreme Rules as the World Heavyweight Champion this Sunday. And up last, a good promo from Triple H, but I loved the promo from Chris Jericho more, it should have happened the week after Extreme Rules though in my opinion. A good show, an improvement from recent weeks for sure.

Live from the KeyArena in Seattle, Washington on May 22, 2011
A promo video airs before the official start of the event, showing highlights of matches of "extreme caliber" over the years. It fast forwards to today, starting off with Big Show making his return and his involvement in the feud between Bryan Danielson and Rey Mysterio, eventually leading to a No Holds Barred triple threat for the World Heavyweight Championship tonight. It follows up with CM Punk and Rob Van Dam's personal feud, especially after this past Monday, with one of these men saying "I Quit" and being gone from Raw for good. Lastly, John Cena got himself in the situation to get his rematch and the stipulation of his choice via costing Alberto Del Rio a match weeks ago. He chose the steel cage, where nobody can get in once they are. The package continues to show brutal hardcore moments in the WWE history, the question being asked - how extreme will things go tonight?
The theme song of "This Is Gonna Hurt" by Sixx:A.M. [/color] plays as we get the opening introduction of sponsors before we head into the KeyArena where the pyrotechnics display blasts across the stage and lastly at the turnbuckle posts. Jim Ross, Michael Cole, and Jerry Lawler welcome everybody to the one night where the WWE goes extreme - Extreme Rules! Cole states that tonight we range from a simple No Holds Barred match to a Steel Cage! We then transition to the Spanish announce team, and after they give their bits we head to the ring for Justin Roberts as he prepares to announce the opening contest. Tag Team Turmoil - Unified Tag Team ChampionshipsThe match starts off with the World's Greatest Tag Team and The DiBiases. The bell sounds as Benjamin and Brett start things off, locking up with each other. Shelton backs him into the corner and then delivers a huge suplex right to the middle of the ring. He goes for the early pinfall but he easily kicks out of it. Benjamin then pulls him back up and goes off the ropes, returning only to be nailed with an elbow to the face. A tag to Ted is made and Brett holds one half of the tag champs up, Ted pounding away at the mid-section before Brett lets go. Benjamin tries to crawl away but Ted takes him by the arm and applies a crossface on the mat. Shelton reaches out and struggles through it, eventually managing to get Ted to break free after tons of movement. He gets up and ducks a clothesline, blasting Ted with a superkick afterward. He then flies off the ropes, Haas making a blind tag. Benjamin ducks a sloppy clothesline attempt by Ted, whom is picked up by Haas in a spinebuster while Brett is knocked off the apron. Shelton flies off of the ropes and returns with a jumping clothesline that slams Ted to the mat, allowing the pinfall to be made by Haas. The Usos[/color] arrive on the scene next and make their way to the ring cocky. They both enter at the same time and simultaneously trade shots back and forth with the reigning tag team champions. It eventually leads to separation with Jules being the legal man with Haas. He is confused, however, allowing the champion to get the upper hand with a German suplex from behind. He mounts on top of him and works him in multiple submission holds before letting up and making the tag to Shelton. He springboards off of the top rope, but misses a crossbody. Jules then takes Haas out with a dropkick, then nailing Benjamin with a snap DDT. He pops up to his feet and looks to his brother as they both exit to the apron, ascend to the top turnbuckle, and fly off with diving headbutts! The crowd boos them as Jules quickly hooks up both legs of Benjamin and gets the three count. We have new champions guaranteed! Up next comes the South Beach Party Boys[/color] and they come down to the ring, Watson trading shots back and forth with Jules to start things off. After ducking one, Watson boots Jules into his corner and flies at him with a knee to the back. He makes a tag to Young and holds Jules for a top rope spinning elbow that leads to a two count. He gets back to his feet and takes the Uso brother to his feet, only to have his eyes raked and a tag made to Jimmy. He comes flying into the ring and knocks Darren down with an aggressive clothesline. He comes off the ropes again and does the exact same thing before taking Young up and dropping him with a hard neckbreaker. He gets a near fall on a pin attempt right afterward, slamming his fists into the mat out of anger. He pulls Young back up again and tags in his brother, yanking Darren onto his shoulder. Jules flies off the ropes but gets met with a kick to the back from Watson. Young slips down and falls into the corner as Jules hits a hard enziguri on Watson that drops him to the floor. Jimmy comes over to his brother and they talk back and forth a bit, Young storming over suddenly and slamming Jimmy with a huge jumping DDT! He gets back onto his feet, finally realizing he wasn't legal, and he turns right into a snapping kick right into the jaw. Jules then covers him for the three count. The Usos rise up together in the middle of the ring, looking up the ramp and motioning for their opponents. William Regal and Derrick Bateman[/color] making their way out! Everyone is surprised to see the two, Bateman holding a microphone as they get to the ramp, "After this past Tuesday when I won NXT Season Two, I had myself a little chat with Miss Vickie Guerrero! Instead of getting myself an Intercontinental or United States Championship match, I got myself in this tag team turmoil with my pro, the legendary William Regal!" The crowd cheer them on as they make their way to the ring, Bateman fired up and Regal his usual intense. They talk back and forth a bit, the veteran getting in the ring to start off with Jules. They lock up with each other and Regal puts him in a headlock, bringing him into the corner and hitting him with a set of strikes to the back and a couple of knees to the midsection. He whips him off of the ropes and awaits the return only to be kicked right in the face. Jules fires strikes to the face and drops the veteran with a hard snap suplex, making a tag to Jimmy afterward. He hops into the ring and drops Regal down with multiple clotheslines, Regal quickly fighting back though and drop him with a hard elbow to the jaw. He makes a tag to Bateman and he comes flying into the ring, hitting a flying forearm and then hanging Jules down on the top rope and sending him back into the announce table. Bateman rushing up to Jimmy and hitting a snapmare driver right in the middle of the ring! He looks up to Regal, who urges him to get the pinfall. Derrick runs to his partner and asks for a high five and he gets it. He returns to Jimmy but gets pulled into a roll up and is pinned! Winners of the match and NEW Unified Tag Team Champions, The Usos[/color] (8:23) ***[/b] Jimmy quickly rolls out of the ring and is joined by his brother and they are awarded their title belts. Bateman is on his knees, meanwhile, looking to Regal in absolute disbelief at what has happened. He throws his hands behind his head as the veteran sighs and enters the ring, patting him on the back as The Usos head up the ramp, pumping up their championship gold high in the air as they have become tag team champions for the first time. We cut backstage to see Todd Grisham, and he introduces his guest at this time to be the Intercontinental Champion, Dolph Ziggler. He asks him about facing Randy Orton tonight. Ziggler laughs, "People think I am worried about Randy Orton. Do you think I am afraid of Randy Orton, Todd?" He shakes his head, "Good. But for those who think that I am... I am going to show the world tonight that I am not, and that I can easily defeat the Viper. Perfectly." He walks off. Chairs MatchChristian vs[/color] Cody Rhodes[/color] As soon as the bell sounds, Christian charges at Rhodes but he dives through the middle rope and walks around the ring a bit. The crowd boos as he goes under the ring, pulling out a chair immediately. Christian, however, hits a baseball slide into the steel and smacking it back into "the Dashing One"s face. He then takes hold of the top rope and launches himself right over it and onto Rhodes before getting back onto his feet to the cheering of the crowd. He yanks Cody back onto his knees but is met with a low blow, Rhodes taking advantage and throwing him face first into the steel post and ring apron. He takes the steel chair and goes to hit Christian right in the head, but it wraps around the steel post. Captain Charisma proceeds to throw him back into the ring and scoop the chair up, entering and smacking it right across the back. He does it again, again, and once more for good measure before going for the pinfall - only to get a two count. He gets to his feet slowly and takes the chair, putting it in between the top and middle turnbuckle. He turns to a dropkick from Rhodes, however, and he falls between the top and middle rope. Cody gets back to his feet and places his foot to the neck and presses down hard. He yells out at Christian before letting go and dropping down with an elbow straight to the chest. He drags him onto his feet and sets up for the Cross Rhodes, although taking too much time, as Christian gets free and ducks a clothesline. He kicks him right in the stomach and throws him head first into the chair! The crowd cheers on as Rhodes stumbles back into a roll up, only to kick out just before the three! Christian can hardly believe it as he rolls out of the ring slowly, grabbing another chair from under the ring and re-entering. Rhodes rushes up to him, however, and plants him with the Cross Rhodes right in the middle of the ring! He hooks up both legs fast but Christian manages to kick out at two. Cody can't believe it as he gets right in the referees face and corners him, demanding he count faster. Christian places a chair down and then walks up behind Rhodes, quickly hooking the arms and performing the Killswitch right down on the chair! He rolls him over quickly and hooks both legs up for the slow, but assuring, three count. Winner of the match via pinfall, Christian[/color] (6:56) **3/4[/b] Christian rises to his feet and pumps both fists into the air as he falls back into the ropes, the crowd cheering him on. Rhodes slowly rolls out of the ring as Captain Charisma has gotten complete revenge for the defeat at Over the Limit. We then head backstage. John Laurinaitis is in his office with Vickie Guerrero and the two are talking back and forth when Triple H walks in, staring down Johnny. He laughs and offers Hunter a handshake, to which he doesn't accept, but Johnny acts like it's no big deal. "I'd just like to remind you, Hunter, about the upcoming King of the Ring tournament taking place on both Raw and Smackdown. What we decided is that we will host these match ups starting next week, alright?" He gives a smile again and HHH just keeps staring at him "I don't really care about King of the Ring. I still don't like you walking around here out of nowhere acting like you are the leader of the entire WWE Universe with your fake ass smile and your fake ass personality." The crowd cheer in the background as Laurinaitis keeps his grin and points at Hunter, "You obviously have some anger management problems, Hunter. You should take care of that." He pats him on the shoulder and walks out, Vickie looking on as Triple H scowls at his Co-General Manager as he leaves the room. Falls Count Anywhere - Intercontinental ChampionshipDolph Ziggler© with Kaitlyn vs[/color] Randy Orton[/color] The bell sounds and the two lock up with each other, Orton quickly throwing Ziggler into the corner and stomping at him ferociously over and over again. He drags him back up fast and throws him straight over the top rope and to the floor with a 'thud'. He follows after him and glares at Kaitlyn, whom backs off immediately. Ziggler takes the opportunity to take Orton by the neck and throw him face first into the announce table. He climbs up on it and drags Randy with him, setting up for a suplex but Orton reversing it and raising him high up. Ziggler manages to drop back down to his feet and push Orton back, running at him and giving a forward neckbreaker onto the floor! He goes for the pin but the Viper manages to kick out at two. Ziggler drags him right back up and brings him to the steel steps and throws him down, Orton catching hold of the sides and elbowing the Intercontinental Champion in the stomach. He then takes him by the head and throws him face first into the steps before letting him wobble off. He rushes at the barricade and takes him right over with a clothesline! He rises right back up and takes him up by the neck, rushing to the stairs nearby and throwing him down onto them. Ziggler begins to crawl up them but Orton follows and takes him by the leg, only to be kicked right in the stomach. Dolph stammers back up and starts to go up the next flight of stairs, the Viper following as Ziggler eventually makes it into the concession stand area, walking about only to be tackled by Orton from behind and being beat down with fists left and right. He brings him back up and points to the popcorn machine, to which the fans nearby cheer for. He runs up to it and throws Ziggler right into the glass back first - shattering it! Orton proceeds to walk around him before covering and getting a two count. He slowly gets back up and takes Dolph to his knees, pounding down on the forehead with his fist before getting low blowed! Ziggler stands up and stammers back towards the arena, slowly going down the stairs with Orton right in tow. Ziggler reaches the barricade and Randy charges at him, only to be lifted right up in the air and dropped back first on the floor! The crowd gives a loud 'ooh' as Orton wiggles around in pain. Dolph slowly pulls himself over and takes his championship belt, clutching it in his arms as Orton gets up and slamming it right into his face! He doesn't go for the pin though and waits for him to get up again, doing the exact same! He then goes for the pinfall but Orton just barely manages to kick out. Frustrated, Ziggler gets to his feet and storms around a bit, looking under the ring and pulling out a trash can filled with weapons and dumping them all out. As Orton rises, he smashes the can right over the head and Orton wobbles. He then picks up a stop sign from it and swings it, Orton kicking him in the stomach before it connects. He then delivers the RKO out of absolutely nowhere and both men stay down. Randy slowly crawls over after a little while, covering Ziggler only to get a count of two. Both men struggle back to their feet and Dolph begins to walk up the ramp, clutching his championship belt and Kaitlyn by his side. Orton stumbles up behind him and spins him around however, going for the RKO but Ziggler keeping himself grounded and nailing the Zig Zag! The crowd boos as Dolph struggles back up, not going for the pin. He stands over Orton, trash talking him and pulling him up slowly - being shoved back. Kaitlyn suddenly strikes him from behind with the title belt! He stumbles a bit and Dolph quickly hits another Zig Zag right at the top of the ramp. He hooks up the far leg and gets the three count to defeat the Viper once again! Winner of the match and still Intercontinental Champion, Dolph Ziggler[/color] (13:33) ***3/4[/b] Ziggler flings up to his feet and pumps his fists in the air repeatedly, dropping onto his hands and knees as Kaitlyn comes to his side and hugs him, the referee holding his arm up in victory. He takes his title belt from his girlfriend and stammers back up, standing right over Orton and yelling out at him while having the belt high up in the air. He yells out to the crowd as he walks along the stage, getting filled with boos as he proceeds to make his way backstage. A video package proceeds to air, showing Bryan Danielson win the World Heavyweight Championship from John Cena the night after WrestleMania in an Ironman match. Then a couple of weeks later, Rey Mysterio becomes the number one contender. Big Show makes his return however at the hands of Bryan Danielson, but it all backfires as Show wants the World Heavyweight Championship as well. We get highlights of the past few weeks with the encounters and situations the trio are put through all over the World Heavyweight Championship. No Holds Barred - World Heavyweight ChampionshipBig Show vs[/color] Bryan Danielson© vs[/color] Rey Mysterio[/color] The bell rings and Danielson steps up to Show, the two talking back and forth before Show takes the champion by the throat and throws him into the corner, delivering a huge slap down on the chest! Danielson drops to the mat, kicking around in pain as he rolls out of the ring. Mysterio stares at Show and comes charging up, being lifted high in the air but landing on Show's shoulders and pounding away with shots. Show yells out and drops Rey over his head and slams him face first into the turnbuckle padding! He falls to the mat and Show walks around before coming back and applying his boot into the side and pushing him against the steel post. He drags him back into the middle of the ring after, stepping across the back to the crowds boos. Danielson comes flying out of nowhere from the top rope with a steel chair and dropkicks it right into the World's Largest Athlete's back! He stumbles a bit as Bryan gets back to his feet and goes to scoop the chair back up, Show placing his foot on it. Danielson slowly looks up and Show plants him right in the face with his other boot! He then drops to the mat and goes for the pin but Mysterio throws himself on top to break it up. He struggles onto his feet and picks up the steel chair, sitting it down and rushing across the ring as Danielson has himself between the ropes - Mysterio returning with a 619! Bryan stammers up to his feet and falls back sitting in the chair. Mysterio hops up onto the top rope and dives off but is caught by the throat by Show! The crowd boos as Show turns to Danielson and throws Rey right into him! Show walks around the ring before pulling Danielson back up and throwing him into the corner. He puts his foot up into the throat and pushes into him hard. He pulls off slowly and Bryan wobbles out, Show swinging his fist but Bryan ducking under it and scooping the chair up, jamming it into the back of the knee! He smacks it a few more times and then into the back, then once to the head and dropping Show out to the floor. Mysterio comes charging up from behind and dropkicks Bryan in between the corner and shoulder first into the post. He rolls the champion up but only gets a two count. Bryan is up first and he hits a huge kick to the back of the head of Rey as soon as he is up on his knees! He goes for the pin but only gets a two count, so he quickly rolls out of the ring. He looks underneath it and pulls out a ladder, shoving it into the ring! He gets up with it and shoves it right into the stomach of Mysterio, pushing him up against the corner and keeping the ladder pinned around his mid section. Danielson walks away and picks up the steel chair, walking to the opposing corner. He suddenly comes storming to the ladder, running up it and dropkicking the chair right into Rey's face! He rolls down the ladder and stays on one knee, catching his breath and holding his back. Show comes into the ring from behind, raising his hand up high with a scowl across his face. Danielson gets to his feet and stammers a bit, turning right to Show and getting caught by the throat! Mysterio pushes the chair upward and Show throws the champion into the ladder and laying him out right in the corner! Mysterio proceeds to scoop the chair up and smack it into the arm repeatedly to Show. He goes for a big shot to the head but is met with a boot to the face. Show slowly drags him back up and picks him up for a military press but Mysterio manages to slip down onto the shoulders and pound down across the head. He drops down to the mat and ducks a sudden punch attempt, Mysterio picking the chair up and throwing it into the face of Show! He then picks it back up and does it once more, Show turning and draping himself over the top rope. Rey then puts the chair in a sitting position and points his finger up, running up to the chair and jumping off to the side ropes, coming back with a kick right into the head that drops Show down to his knees and between the ropes! Rey then slides the chair a bit before running off the ropes and returning with the 619! Show falls right down onto his back and picks the chair up slowly. He walks off to the corner and takes his time, slowly getting to the top. He gives homage to Eddie Guerrero, shaking himself about before launching off with the chair and down onto Show's chest! He goes right back to him immediately and makes the cover but Danielson comes rushing up behind and drags him off, making the cover and getting the pinfall! Winner of the match and still World Heavyweight Champion, Bryan Danielson[/color] (12:01) ***[/b] Mysterio scrambles after the champion, whom escapes quickly from the ring and sits at the bottom of the ramp with a smirk. He is awarded his title belt as he rises to his feet and raises one finger to the sky and the belt on the other side. He clutches it close and begins to walk up the ramp as Mysterio remains frustrated at the ropes. As he just watches the champ head to the back, Big Show rises up to his feet from behind and is obviously not happy. The crowd begins to boo as Rey turns around right to the Knockout Punch! More boos fill as Show stands over Rey and breathes heavily, snarling as he does so. He raises his hand up high in taunt as his music plays, the commentary unit disgusted by his actions. We head to a video package, showing many superstars dressed up royally and sipping tea at a table. They are all quiet while common kingdom-esque music plays in the background. Suddenly, John Cena comes crashing through the window with Jack Swagger and plants him through the middle of the table. He looks around as everybody stares at him in absolute shock. He shrugs and walks off as the information for King of the Ring is displayed on the screen. We cut to see Bryan Danielson walking through the hallway with his World Heavyweight Championship over his shoulder. He suddenly stops as Chris Jericho comes in his way with a smile. The two stare each other down while the crowd cheers in the background. Jericho pats the title belt, "Congratulations on your win..." He grins and again stares up at Bryan, "I'm coming for you." He walks away as Danielson wipes at his nose and watches him as he goes off. Tables MatchWade Barrett vs[/color] Edge[/color] The ringing of the bell is done and the two rivals lock up with each other, Barrett pounding away across the back and hitting a series of knees to the stomach. He throws him out of the ring and goes right at him, tossing him shoulder first into the announce table. He hits some boots right to the chest ferociously. He takes Edge back up and whips him into the steel steps before going under the ring and taking a table out, "Let's finish ya off already!" He sets it up and brings the Rated R Superstar over to it, only to be met with an uppercut. Edge throws an entire series of punches and then backs him into the barricade. He whips him into the steel post and wanders after him, throwing a couple more shots before bringing Barrett back into the ring. He follows after him and stomps at him in the corner before getting shoved away. Barrett gets back onto his feet and ducks a clothesline and nails a huge big boot that drops Edge right down onto the mat. He quickly pulls him by the hair to the middle of the ring, lifting him up and whipping him off the ropes. He ducks down but the Rated R Superstar comes back and kicks him right in the face! He fires off a set of strikes and then takes Barrett over to the ropes, lifting him in a suplex and setting him over on the apron. He rushes off of the opposing ropes before coming back for the spear but Barrett moves out of the way and Edge falls right out onto the table. Wade catches his balance and waits for Edge to get up, coming forward only to be kicked in the stomach. Edge then takes him by the head and sets up for the Edgecution, only for Barrett to take hold of the legs and flip him back over and into the ring. Wade leans down and brings the table up, pushing it over the top rope. He gets in the ring and sets it up once again, walking over to Edge and lifting him off the mat and attempting the Wasteland but Edge fights back a bit and gets to push back to the other corner, Barrett quickly slamming him with his finisher right there instead of not at all. He stumbles over to the table and pulls it back closer to Edge, pulling him up and throwing him across it. He exits to the apron and slowly ascends to the top rope, measuring up before diving off with an elbow only for Edge to roll off! Barrett flops around on the mat as he has driven himself right through the wood! Edge rolls out of the ring and takes a breather before looking under the ring and getting another table, bringing it into the ring and following after it. He gets up and puts it up against the corner near Barrett and pulls him up, hitting a couple of shots to the head. Wade kicks him in the groin and lets him drop to his knees before throwing him face first into the table. He does it a few more times before standing him up against it. He walks away slowly and then goes over to the ropes, pushing off hard and charging only for Edge to quickly move out of the way. Barrett stops himself at the table and shakes his finger with a chuckle, only to turn to a spear right through the wood! Winner of the match, Edge[/color] (9:50) ***1/2[/b] Edge rises up to his feet and gets a wild cheer from the crowd. He has his arm raised up and he works the crowd over on the turnbuckles. Barrett slowly begins to stir, however, and rushes up behind Edge and clotheslines him down to the mat! He takes him by the hair and tights and tosses him between the ropes and follows him right to the outside. He takes his Money in the Bank briefcase and smashes it right into his face! The boos continue to grow as he throws his briefcase down and goes under the ring, dragging out another table. He sets it up and brings Edge up onto the apron with him, bringing him up onto his shoulders and yelling out to the crowd. He delivers the Wasteland right down through the table and to the hard floor! The referee holds Barrett back as many more officials and a couple medics come down to ringside as Edge groans in pain, kicking about as Barrett laughs, taking his briefcase and headed up the ramp. The same promo video airs that shows flames going wild and an old abandoned building in the middle of nowhere being slowly engulfed by it. A graveyard image flashes in between and the screen constantly fuzzes up, flashing the date of "6/20/11" over and over in front of the flames. The images continue to go back and forth of the house burning more and more and the still image of the graveyard. The promo video ends with a simple blackout. We come back at ringside where Jim Ross informs everybody that Edge is currently being checked out by medics, as after he was put through the table after his match by Wade Barrett it appeared as if he was in serious pain. They show the clip of the Wasteland through the table before we return and Lawler says that it was a sickening tactic by Barrett and that they will tell all the information regarding Edge's condition once they get an update. Lumberjill Match - Diva's ChampionshipBeth Phoenix, Kaitlyn, Kelly Kelly, Serena, Aksana, Layla, Maryse, Natalya[/color] April Lee© vs[/color] Kharma[/color] The bell rings and Lee rushes up to the beast, quickly being tossed through the ropes. The divas circle around her before letting her back into the ring and she gets up and throws some strikes at Kharma, only to be tossed right across the ring like a rag doll. She stays up against the ropes and Kharma comes charging at her, only for April to pull the top rope down and the monster drops down to the floor. She is quickly surrounded by all the lumberjills and she rises up, glaring around at the group of them. She quickly grabs onto Kelly and throws her to the floor. She is then ganged up on by all of the divas but she manages to start throwing them off. April then launches herself off the top turnbuckle and lands right into the arms of Kharma, being tossed right back into the ring. She follows after and gets onto her feet, taking April up by her hair and lifting her into a chokebomb, only for the champion to reverse it into a thunderous DDT! She goes for the pin but is pushed right into the air at two. She struggles back to her feet and Kharma gets up in the corner, nailing a huge kick to the face as April comes at her. She turns to the corner and climbs onto the second turnbuckle, looking out to all of the other divas and yelling out before throwing herself down with a splash and crushing April! She then gets back to her feet and looks around the ring, motioning for one of the other divas to step up. After just a short while every diva other than Kelly Kelly and Beth Phoenix leave ringside. They enter the ring and step up to Kharma, immediately sending some strikes and getting her off the ropes. She comes at them right after though and nails them both with clotheslines, causing them to roll out. She then walks over to Lee and hits an Implant Buster right in the middle of the ring and then takes the pinfall. Winner of the match and NEW Diva's Champion, Kharma[/color] (5:44) *3/4[/b] Kharma slowly rises onto her feet, the crowd booing on as she takes hold of the title belt, laughing demonically as she drops down to both knees and rubs it across her face. She rolls out of the ring and glares back in the ring, April completely out cold. She throws the title over her shoulder and smiles, headed up to the top of the ramp before turning back to the crowd one more time and laughing. The referee in the mean time checks on the unconscious former champ. We head to a video package that highlights the ECW career of Rob Van Dam. Coming to more recent years, CM Punk shows up on the scene and begins to run through anybody he finds 'lesser' than him. At the Royal Rumble, RVD returns after months of absence. He eliminates CM Punk, only for him to come back and eliminate him as well. Following that, Punk trash talking his life style and constantly beating him down just because of that reasons. The package comes to a conclusion with the two fighting back and forth, and ultimately this past Monday where they made the match loser leaves Raw and Punk destroyed RVD. "I Quit" Match - Loser Leaves RawRob Van Dam vs[/color] CM Punk[/color] The bell rings and the two step to the middle of the ring, Punk talking some trash. RVD doesn't like it and smacks him across the face! He fires off with vicious shots and brings him to the ropes before hitting a spinning wheel kick that sends the straight edge superstar through the ropes. RVD follows and grabs him by the neck, tossing him face first into the steel steps. He does this repeatedly and yells at him to say it but Punk refuses and starts to crawl away. RVD goes under the ring and grabs a steel chair, following after his rival and crashing it down over the back. He lets him crawl away a bit and smacks it down even harder! Punk struggles to get up against the steel post and ducks under another chair shot that hits the post. Van Dam drops it and Punk nails him with a kick to the stomach. He follows it up with a series of shots to the head and clotheslines him down to the floor. He brings him up by the hair and runs to the far barricade, tossing him back first into it. He pulls himself on top of the barricade and spreads his arms out, "I'm the best in the world!" He dives off and hits an elbow drop right down on Rob and pops back onto his feet, holding onto his own chest to mock him. He then grabs cords near ringside and walks over to Rob, laughing as he wraps it around the throat and begins to choke away at him. Van Dam swings his hands wildly, trying to get free, and tries to pull at the cords. Punk yells at him to say 'I Quit' but RVD refuses and continues to fight back. He struggles onto his feet but Punk runs forward and smacks him face first into the steel post. Punk takes him up by the hair again and throws him under the bottom rope and hops onto the apron, raising his fist high into the air. He then springboards off of the top and delivers a huge clothesline that drops RVD down with authority. He then pops back up and yells out to the crowd, completely fired up. He exits the ring and picks up the steel chair from earlier, bringing it into the ring only to be met with a spinning wheel kick right into the face! RVD pops onto his feet and grabs onto the chair, driving it down into Punk's chest repeatedly. The referee eventually pulls him away to ask Punk if he quits, but he just shoves the official way. RVD steps forward but gets kicked in the gut. He backs up and Punk rises to his feet, Rob throwing the chair right into his face! Punk drapes himself in the corner and is met with a shoulder to the stomach, then another, and then RVD walks off and returns with a huge one! Punk drops to the mat and Rob pushes him over onto his back. RVD then rushes off the ropes and begins to roll across the mat, and once he reaches Punk he scoops the chair up and finishes the Rolling Thunder with it under his legs! Punk flops around a bit and slips out of the ring, RVD getting to his feet and grabbing onto the top rope, launching himself over once Punk gets up only to be caught and smashed back first into the steel post. Punk then shifts him onto his shoulders and nails the GTS! He demands the official come and ask RVD if he quits as he begins to walk over to the steel steps, removing the top part. He then walks over to RVD, who says 'no' to the question of if he quits. He takes him up by the hair again and rushes to the steps and throws him down face first to it. He then goes under the ring and takes out a tool box, looking at it and smacking it right into Rob's face! The box comes open and a pair of handcuffs lays on the floor. Punk snickers and pulls Rob up slowly, shoving the lower layer of steps into his legs and up against the post. He then takes the handcuffs and stands in front of RVD, cuffing him right to the post! The crowd boos as Punk lifts the other part of the steps up, crushing it into RVD's gut. The referee asks him but Rob just barely manages to say 'no'. Punk does it again and gets a no, then three more times each time getting the same answer from his rival. He then sets the steps in front of Rob and pushes it into his gut to keep him still. He grabs the microphone from the referee and steps up in front of Rob, "This is your final chance, Robby. Say those two words you've never been able to say and we'll be done. If you don't say them, then you'll be entering an entire new dimension of hell!" The crowd boos as Punk moves the microphone to RVD slowly, whom breaths heavily before letting out a weak 'no'. Punk shoves the mic into the official's chest and grabs onto the steel chair from inside of the ring, walking up to Punk and smashing it repeatedly into RVD's chest. He yells at him and continues to beat down over and over, soon connecting with the head! The crowd continues to boo as Punk begins to drive it into the chest horizontally, RVD coughing and trying to speak. Punk cups his hand to his ear and the referee puts the microphone up, Rob slowly speaking, "I quit..." Winner of the match, CM Punk[/color] (16:23) ****[/b] The crowd boos as RVD stays hung up on the post, Punk staring him down and throwing the chair to the floor. He breaths heavily and looks to the official, stepping up to Rob once again and looking him in the eyes. He steps down and grabs the tool box from earlier and takes the key, stepping onto the apron and unlocking him from the post. Rob drops down onto the steps and Punk walks around him, dragging him up by the hair and staring at him again, giving a nod and letting him go. He goes up the ramp and heads to the back, the official checking on RVD. We proceed to head backstage to Matt Striker, whom introduces his guest at this time to be John Cena. He asks him about the opportunity to become the WWE Champion inside of a steel cage tonight. Cena laughs, "Tonight it is indeed a steel cage match, Matt. Therefore, tonight I step inside of a structure built for an animal and I shall behave like an animal. I shall rip through Alberto Del Rio's ass and make sure he wants to go back down to vacation back home in Mexico!" He storms off as we fade to a video package, starting off with Alberto winning the WWE Championship at WrestleMania. At the draft, John Cena assists Alberto Del Rio in defeating his previous rival in Bryan Danielson. Afterward, he gives Alberto the WWE Championship but he doesn't like the fact that Cena touched the belt. At Over the Limit, the two would face off only for Del Rio to cheaply be victorious. A couple of weeks back, Cena cost Alberto a match and chose their rematch to be a Steel Cage match. Steel Cage Match - WWE ChampionshipJohn Cena vs[/color] Alberto Del Rio© with Ricardo Rodriguez[/color] The bell rings and the two lock up with each other, Del Rio quickly raking the eyes and rushing up to the cage. He tries to start ascending it and Cena comes up behind, dragging him down by the tights and back first to the mat. He dives onto Alberto and fires off strikes left and right to the face. He gets onto his feet and drags the champion to his feet, throwing him into the corner and nailing some shots to the mid-section and the head. He whips him off to the other corner and comes charging, Alberto moving out of the way and dropkicking him between the ropes and into the cage wall. He slowly rises to his feet and lets Cena rise, firing off with kicks that push him up against the cage each time. He takes Cena by the neck and moves along the side, smacking the face down into the turnbuckle near the door. Cena takes onto his neck and brings him face first into the steel, pounding across the back right after. He enters the ring and runs across the ring with ADR, tossing him face first into the steel again. He backs off a bit, lifting the champ up for the Attitude Adjustment only for him to slip off and go for a roll up, only to get a two count. They both get up and Del Rio nails a low blow kick, spreading his arms out in taunt only to get the forearm low blow right back! They both stay on their knees and trade shots back and forth until Del Rio nails a thumb to the eye. He gets back up and takes hold of the arm, pulling Cena down for the cross armbar only for the challenger to roll free and lean in the corner, his eyes bulging. He slowly rises up and the two come back to the middle again, locking up fast. Cena throws him down to the mat and applies a headlock, quickly yanking Del Rio right back up and hitting a spinout powerbomb. He gets back up and delivers the "You Can't See Me", coming off the ropes and hitting the Five Knuckle Shuffle. He gets onto his feet and looks up to the cage, walking over to it and beginning to climb. He stops himself looking down at Ricardo, however, and storms at Del Rio with a shoulder block. They get back up and Cena fires off with strike after strike, ducking one back and hitting the Attitude Adjustment right in the middle of the ring! He gets back to his feet and is completely fired up, stepping over to the cage again and beginning to ascend. He stops halfway and wags his finger to the crowd and Ricardo, coming back down and walking over to Del Rio. He slowly rises up and Cena lifts him for another Attitude Adjustment, the champion rolling off and delivering a huge enziguri! Both men slowly rise up and Del Rio walks up behind Cena, hitting a bridging German suplex only to get a two count. He pulls Cena right back up and hits the same move, pulling up himself and hitting a third one and still only getting a two count. Frustrated, he takes John up and throws him off the ropes only to be met with the shoulder block once again. Cena fires off with multiple shoulders and eventually goes for the AA again, Del Rio grabbing onto the cage. Cena tosses him off and smacks his back right into the steel! The crowd cheers on as Cena walks over to Alberto, slowly climbing up over him. He jumps down halfway though, and stomps down on the chest. He grabs onto the cage and stomps down aggressively. He looks to the camera nearby, "I'm having too much fun with this!" He steps between the ropes and drags Alberto back in only to be met with a sudden uppercut! Del Rio quickly takes hold of the arm, quickly rolling into the cross armbar. Cena struggles around, yelling out in pain and kicking his legs about. After an entire minute, Cena still refuses to tap out so Del Rio gets to his feet. He stares down and walks over to the side, climbing up slowly. Cena struggles onto his feet, however, and begins to make his way over. He climbs onto the top turnbuckle and takes Alberto by the leg just as he is preparing to get over. Cena pulls at him with all he has and brings him down onto his shoulders, the crowd going wild as John forces the champion off from grabbing the sides of the cage, jumping off and delivering the Attitude Adjustment in mid-air to a huge pop from the crowd! Both men stay laid out until Cena begins to crawl very slowly, hooking the closest leg and getting the count of one, two, three. Winner of the match and NEW WWE Champion, John Cena[/color] (15:45) ****[/b] A mixed reaction comes from the Seattle crowd as Cena slowly rises onto his feet, pumping both fists up as he falls back against the ropes. The cage slowly rises and the referee awards him the belt, Cena walking to the middle of the ring and raising it up. He walks all around the ring, pumping the belt up to each side of the crowd to work them up. Cena climbs to the top rope and pumps it up once more to end the show.[/font][/center]

Extreme Rules Review
First match being Tag Team Turmoil and it didn't disappoint, definite way to start a pay per view and with it all ending with the Usos as the new WWE Unified Tag Team Champions, the sons of WWE legend Rikishi, and they are finally champions, hopefully they get a good run with the belts and as for WGTT I hope they go their separate ways because Shelton Benjamin is so good on his own, that he doesn't really need Haas and Haas too is also good on his own, but WGTT I think they have another run in them and as for the DiBiases I see them winning the titles at some point but not now and as for South Beach Party Boys at some point too I can see them with the belts and with Regal & Bateman, I love how you paired them up together as a team
Ziggler's interview is exactly what it was, perfect, and he is well on his way to being perfection
Christian beating Cody Rhodes, that is so awesome, now hopefully Christian can set his sights back on being WWE Champion again and as for Rhodes, he can set his sights on the WWE United States Championship but nevertheless great Chairs match by the way
Triple H and Johnny backstage along with Vickie was awesome, Triple H I hope he just fires Johnny soon, I can't stand him
Ziggler retaining his WWE Intercontinental Championship by beating my main man Orton in what I thought was MOTN by far, absolute classic but nevertheless it just shows that Ziggler is ready for the main event and he should be in there considering he can hang in with the likes of Orton but with Orton I would love to see him set his sights on the World Heavyweight Championship, Bryan Danielson or whoever the champion ends up being better watch their back
Danielson retaining his World Heavyweight Championship in what I thought was an awesome Triple Threat Match but after the match is what made it even more awesome by having Show attack Rey after the match to just show his frustration was great, definite heel heat for Big Show here
And the KOTR package was awesome
Jericho/Danielson backstage was awesome, Danielson better hold on to that title while he still can especially since he has Jericho after him now, and then on top of it he could have Orton after him as well, and then Show and then Rey again, and then Punk on top of it, Danielson won't be champion for much longer
Edge winning the Tables Match against Barrett, their rivalry you watch, I bet you any money this won't be over and that their rivalry will continue but that this time it will be over the Money In The Bank briefcase to really up the ante but I love the match finish with Edge spearing Barrett through the table, this match I can't even call it a match, it was a war
6/20/11 it's Kane
Yes my dream has finally come true, Kharma is the new WWE Divas Champion and now the reign of terror, the reign of pain and suffering of Kharma can finally begin and she can actually make the Divas division interesting again especially with her as the dominant champion, she could be like the Mark Henry of the Divas division, just dominant of all of her opponents
Punk making RVD say I Quit, I was really pulling for RVD to win this match but now that RVD is officially gone from RAW, he can start a new chapter of his career on Thursday nights becoming Mr. Thursday Night R-V-D and RVD can now go for the WWE Championship seeing as how RVD is a former WWE Champion, the last time he was champion was 2006 when he was in ECW when he was also ECW Champion but nonetheless their I Quit Match was probably the most physical, probably the most brutal I have ever seen, hopefully Punk can start his face turn soon and he can become The Best In The World becoming the anti-hero of the WWE
And Cena walking out as WWE Champion, this is like the 2nd reign Cena has had with the belt this year, I hate Cena so much, SO MUCH SO THAT I HOPE HIS WWE CHAMPIONSHIP REIGN IS A DISTANT MEMORY!!!!!!!!!!! I hope Alberto Del Rio wins the WWE Championship back from John Cena because I actually enjoyed 'Berto as WWE Champion, he was the perfect heel champion on that brand but I hope Alberto attacks Cena and Wade Barrett cashes in his MITB briefcase on Cena, please anything would be better than Cena being champion again!!!!!!!!!!!!

WWE Extreme Rules: Sunday 22nd May 2011...You're bad at replying. Let's see what we have here then. Not a fan of the Tag Team Turmoil opening the show honestly, if No Way Out 2002 told us anything, it just deflates the crowd right off the bat. It's too stop-starty-stop-start repetitive. Good choice for the World's Greatest Tag Team and the Dibiases to start off though, Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas were obviously winning this. Up next, the Usos coming in were quite good, but honestly I didn't like the WWE Tag Team Champions being eliminate so early in the match. If you wanted to get the (former) champs over even more, you should have had them last all the way through the gauntlet until losing the titles in the first match, just to prove that they are SECOND best. The South Beach Party Boys I am glad about, not getting anywhere. I absolutely hate them. Didn't expect William Regal and Derrick Bateman to enter, logic says that if Bateman were to announce that he'd traded in his NXT Season 2 mid-card title shot with the WWE Tag Team Championship opportunity, that him and William Regal should have won the belts. It didn't happen, leading me to believe that this is going to make Regal a tough mentor to Bateman's putz character (which Bateman plays well, he's hilarious, but still). The Usos winning the titles was cool, good decision, but there is already so many things that I would have done differently, one match into the show. Christian and Cody Rhodes would have been a more rightful choice for opening contest, and I like that you used the Chair match gimmick, it has been capitalized well in this feud, it's just a shame that their matches haven't. Six minutes isn't enough for these guys to prove themselves honestly, I was disappointed. Christian getting the win was for the better though I guess, as former WWE Champion. It just served as a filler to the filling opening contest though. Up next, a good Falls Count Anywhere match to perhaps conclude Dolph Ziggler and Randy Orton's feud, was surprised that Orton didn't get the win, and whilst Ziggler gets a huge rub from getting the win, Orton's momentum has dropped, having lost to Ziggler twice on consequtive pay-per-views. Nonetheless, Ziggler makes a solid WWE Intercontinental Champion, whilst Orton doesn't need it. Up next, decent triple threat No Holds Barred match between Bryan Danielson, Big Show and Rey Myterio, and I liked how Bryan won so cheaply. Show with another heel turn however, doesn't interest me whatsoever. He's switching positions so much, it's hard to care about him. I could see 2012/2013 being the last of his career really; there's not much else he can do here. Another feud with Show and Mysterio sounds like fun though. Times like these I wish that you would have pushed R-Truth, he'd be in a better position in this feud than Show. You made the best of the typical Tables match, I don't see Wade Barrett and Edge's rivalry being over yet though, strange that this went after the World Heavyweight Championship match though, the crowd must have been gassed. I see their feud climaxing somehow at King of the Ring...although maybe in a gimmick match...after having a Tables match here. Hmm. Curious as to what the Undertaker may do on June 20th. Kharma was obviously winning the WWE Divas Championship from April Lee here. Not a lot to add to that. I guess she's not getting pregnant. Up next, the highlight of the show in my eyes, an outstanding I Quit match with CM Punk and Rob Van Dam, and now I am curious as to whether RVD will leave the WWE, or just leave RAW and head for SmackDown. Brilliant write-up with some interesting set-ups involved, Punk winning was obvious to me though. Loved the way the aftermath was written. And lastly (apart from the Lumberjills match), the most forgettable match on the card, the Steel-Cage bout for the WWE Championship. John Cena winning is alright I suppose, Alberto Del Rio's reign was disappointing to say the least though, considering he only had the belt for roughly over two months. Overall, the first few matches were pretty mediocrely booked, whilst the rest of the show improved from there. The showstealer was clearly Punk and RVD though, it makes me wonder if you're headed for the Punk shoot promo in the Summer (which I really hope you do honestly), to then feud with Bryan Danielson or John Cena (Cena is the more obvious candidate). A mixed bag show in all though, the booking was a little strange; a gimmick pay-per-view which for the most part of the undercard advanced feuds makes little sense to me in all honesty. I'd have also looked back on the ordering and switched some matches. King of the Ring next month? Sounds very good to me.

Extreme Rules was an awesome show! It's nice to see the Usos get a run now with the Unified Tag Team Championships. Great to see you give some love to tag teams. I see Derrick Bateman and William Regal try again for the gold. The Christian/Cody Rhodes contest was good, with Christian getting revenge. I think there is one more match left for these two. Randy Orton is at that point in his career where he doesn't need the Intercontinental Championship, so I wasn't surprised by Dolph Ziggler winning. With the World Heavyweight Championship, we see Bryan Danielson sneak away with a cheap win and a Big Show heel turn. For the Big Show, it seems his career is winding down, so maybe a monster heel run as champion would be a good way for him to go out. With Wade Barrett/Edge, the former ended up getting revenge and did some damage to the Rated R Superstar. For some feeling, I think this might be the point where Edge retires, just by the aftermath. I figured Kharma would end up winning here. So much for the diva unity against her. Now, she can truly dominate the division. A great end to the CM Punk/Rob Van Dam feud. I totally figured Punk would win. I guess we'll be seeing RVD on Thursday nights once again. Finally, I'm kinda disappointed with John Cena winning the WWE Championship off Alberto Del Rio. After all the build-up to getting it, ADR didn't have a lot of time. Anyway, still a great show. Keep it up. Can't wait until King of the Ring.

A nice way to kick off the show with the WWE Tag Team Championship Match, and I'm very happy to see The Usos take the gold here. The World's Greatest Tag Team had a very good run, The Usos were the next best team. Next up, a good victory for Christian over Cody Rhodes, getting the typical PPV revenge. Extremely happy to see Dolph Ziggler retain the Intercontinental Championship, Randy Orton is far beyond the Intercontinental Championship, and Ziggler getting his second straight victory over Randy Orton proves that he is too. I expect Ziggler to lose the belt soon and move onto bigger things. Bryan Danielson retaining the World Heavyweight Championship was definitely the right move to make, and I liked Big Show's post-match attack on Rey, solidifying his role as a heel on Raw. I must say, I was expecting Wade Barrett to beat Edge, but I guess the post-match assault makes up for his loss. 6/20 is going to be a masked Kane, I'm sure of it. Next up, a painfully obvious victory for Kharma; it couldn't have gone any other way. Nobody can stop her. A superb I Quit Match between CM Punk and Rob Van Dam. A good win for CM Punk, and does this mean Rob Van Dam goes to SmackDown? Or is Rob Van Dam gone from the WWE? Didn't expect John Cena to regain the WWE Championship, and quite frankly, I'm not too keen. I guess you know what you're doing, but I'm not too keen on that decision. Overall, a great show besides the Main Event result.

MAY 23RD, 2011 - PORTLAND, OREGON
"Yes, sir, we promised you a great main event..." CUE OPENING PACKAGE[/color][/b][/size] The pyrotechnic display goes off the stage of the Rose Garden in Portland, Oregon. Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler welcome everybody to Monday Night Raw, just one night removed from a very, very brutal event - Extreme Rules. After a few moments, Chris Jericho[/color] proceeds to make his way out to thunderous cheers from the crowd. He laughs a bit and proceeds to come to the ring, working the audience over by getting extremely hyper. He takes hold of a microphone and stands in the middle, allowing the overwhelming "Y-2-J" chants to chime in. He clutches the mic at his side before bringing it up slowly, "Last week on Monday Night Raw I made my return and I said to you people I wanted to be the best I know I can be every single week. Then last night at Extreme Rules I had a tiny little encounter with Mr. World Heavyweight Champion Bryan Danielson, warning him that I was coming for him." He laughs a bit as the crowd cheers him on, "And when I said I was coming for him I meant it! I want my World Heavyweight Title match and I want my World Heavyweight title match tonight!" The crowd continues to cheer on as Jericho goes to speak some more but is cut off by Bryan Danielson[/color] himself. He comes out to the top of the stage and the crowd boos him as he pulls a microphone up slowly with a grin, "You know something, Chris? I'd love to give you an opportunity at my World Heavyweight Championship - I really would. But, the thing is... I've defeated guys such as John Cena. I've defeated guys like Rey Mysterio, and I even defeated both him and the World's Largest Athlete just last night. So what I really have to ask is why should I have to waste my time against some one like you when each and every person in this arena knows that I will walk out still the champion?" The crowd gets heated up with boos as Danielson laughs a bit and Jericho fires back, "Here's an idea you ignorant little bi-atch!" The crowd laughs and cheers wildly, "You versus me tonight non-title, but if I can whoop your pansy little ass like I intend to, I get my championship match at King of the Ring!" The crowd cheers wildly as Danielson shakes his head and begins to walk off, the fans booing as Jericho spreads his arms out and walks to the ropes, "What's the matter, Bryan? If you're so good and if you actually are the best to ever happen to World Wrestling Entertainment - then what's going to be so hard about beating me? That is unless you are what I said you were: A little bi-atch?" The crowd laughs it up again and cheers as Danielson keeps his back turned and half of the crowd begins a 'Little bi-atch' chant. Bryan gets frustrated after a little while and turns around, "You're on!" He storms to the back in anger. Commercial BreakIntercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler with Kaitlyn defeats[/color] Evan Bourne in a King of the Ring First Round Match[/color][/b] The bell rings and Bourne surprisingly takes control in the opening minutes. Ziggler manages to fight back after a while and we get multiple swings of fast and changing momentum, the Air Bourne eventually being missed and the Zig Zag being nailed in the middle of the ring, allowing Dolph to get the pinfall. Ziggler rises up to his feet and Kaitlyn soon joins him with his Intercontinental Title belt. He smirks to the crowd and pumps his belt in the air, as the 2010 King of the Ring winner has taken one step further at the possibility of winning the entire tournament once again. We cut to an image that appears as a reminder of the main event between Chris Jericho and Bryan Danielson. Up next, however, Kharma is in non-title action. Commercial BreakWe return to John Laurinaitis in his office on the phone, "Yes, yes, we can get that for you too. It is absolutely no issue whatsoever - I assure you that and World Wrestling Entertainment, Monday Night Raw, and myself, John Laurinaitis, would love to ha–" He stops talking and pulls the phone away, apparently being hung up on. Triple H comes into the scene and stares at his Co-General Manager and cuts him off, "Who was that on the phone?" Johnny shakes his head and puts his hands up, "Don't worry about it. Look, Hunter.." The Game grabs him by the collar and backs him up against the wall before pulling away and adjusting the suit, "Come, walk with me. Talk with me." He walks away as Laurinaitis seems pretty intimidated. Diva's Champion Kharma defeats[/color] Kelly Kelly[/color][/b] Everybody seems to know what the outcome is going to be from the start. Kelly gets a few shots in and tries to launch herself off the top rope, but she is caught and used like the ultimate rag doll before being finished off with a vicious Implant Buster. Kharma rises to her feet slowly and is given her Diva's Championship belt. She turns to the referee and growls at him to get him to exit the ring. She then grabs Kelly by the hair but April Lee and Beth Phoenix come charging to the ring! They both begin to fire shots to the monstrous woman and back her up against the ropes, hitting a double dropkick. They go at her once again but both get clotheslined. Kharma storms over to the other side of the ring and drops to the mat, rolling to the outside and storming up the ramp. Kelly, Beth, and April glare right up at her. Commercial BreakReturning, the arena is scanned over and we go to the ramp where CM Punk[/color] proceeds to make his entrance. He gets a mixed reaction as he makes his usual showing as he comes to the ring. He takes hold of a microphone and sits cross-legged in the middle of the squared circle, patting the mic in the palm of his hand. "Last night at Extreme Rules I battled with Rob Van Dam in an 'I Quit' Match. I made him say those two words and in the process of doing so I came to realize that while I make somebody like RVD quit, there are guys who are getting fired left and right and all over the place while they are still putting up a fight thanks to Mr. John Laurinaitis!" The crowd begins to murmur about, wondering where Punk is going with this, "See... I used to like Johnny Ace, I really did. But over the years with the ass kissing of the chairman and the ass kissing of just about anybody of higher superiority to him or any superstar in this company to get on their good side before firing them a week later and," Mimicking his voice, "Wishing them luck in their future endeavors." The crowd really gets behind him now as he stands up and points up the ramp, "Let us rewind back to February - just a little over a month before WrestleMania. You see, every single superstar wants to make it to at least WrestleMania and at least just be in the back and have some of the experience, so what has commonly happened is guys have been - (once again mimicking) future endeavored - just a few weeks after the grand show! But instead, in February, Mr. Laurinaitis decided he was going to do it a little early on guys like Kaval and Kenny Omega - two brilliant talents that Johnny just didn't see fit for our business. Then that wasn't enough and he launched out nearly ten more people! Now he's the Co-General Manager of Raw, and to be quite honest it makes me sick to my stomach to see such a pathetic waste of a life form consuming the air that people like the WWE Universe and myself actually deserve to breath! He steps back to the middle of the ring and goes to say more, "I'm not the only one to hate on Johnny, as the guy he replaced, Good Ol' J.R., Jim Ross, I know can't stand him! I know the great Jim Cornette can't stand him! I know Triple H doesn't like him one bit, and just about the only person who does is Vincent Kennedy McMahon because Mr. Laurinaitis is nothing but a P.O.S. yes man!" The crowd roars like crazy as he brings the microphone up again, "Let me tell each and every single one of you something about John Laurinaitis, he used t–" His microphone seems to be cut off as he continues to speak but nothing comes out. He laughs a bit and throws the mic to the ground, spreading his arms out and being cheered by the crowd as his music hits. Commercial BreakWe return to see CM Punk walking backstage and getting nods and smiles from the people in the hallways and he gives them some high fives and nods back. As he is coming around the corner, however, John Laurinaitis is standing there. The two stare down and Punk gives a grin, "You think you can shoot your mouth off all you want, huh, Punk? Maybe you forgot that I am not only the Co-General Manager of Raw but I am the Executive Vice President of Talent Relations and your job could be gone at the snap of my fingers." Punk laughs and pats John on the shoulder, "I'd think twice about that, Johnny. Because whether you realize it or not, the people liked what I was saying out there and cheered me on. Even when I was kicking Rob Van Dam's ass last night and trash talking him for the past few months, the people were cheering me. I'm one of the top guys in this company, and whether you like it or not, I am the best in the world. If you fire me, Johnny, you're just setting yourself up to get fired too." He walks away as the crowd cheers him on in the background. Randy Orton defeats[/color] The Miz in a King of the Ring First Round Match[/color][/b] The bell tolls and the two lock up, Miz getting the early upper hand and using some cheap moves as soon as Orton gets any control. The Viper manages to get some fight in and hits a set of his signature moves, even the rope hung DDT. As he goes for the RKO, however, Miz shoves him away and proceeds to hit the Skull Crushing Finale only for a two count. He gets too frustrated with the official and as soon as he brings Orton up to his feet, the RKO is delivered right in the middle of the ring and the pinfall is made. Orton throws himself onto his feet and wanders around the lifeless body of The Miz. The referee raises his arm up in victory as he has moved on to the second round of the King of the Ring tournament in two weeks time. He climbs the turnbuckle and taunts to the Portland crowd. Commercial BreakAs it has in recent weeks, a promotional video that shows flames going wild and an old abandoned building in the middle of nowhere being slowly engulfed by it. A graveyard image flashes in between and the screen constantly fuzzes up, flashing the date of "6/20/11" over and over in front of the flames. The images continue to go back and forth of the house burning more and more and the still image of the graveyard. But unlike the usual ending, a scream is heard. Unified Tag Team Champions The Usos with Abraham Washington[/color][/size] and Sheamus defeat[/color] The South Beach Party Boys and[/color] Kofi Kingston[/color][/b] A solid, but messy, start to the match with multiple tags between the two teams. Kingston gets brought in and unloads on the champions, however, and prepares to go for the Trouble in Paradise but is blindsided by Sheamus and the Brogue Kick. An all out brawl ensues and goes on for a couple of minutes. Kingston prepares to launch over the top rope on all of them, but Jules catches his arm and yanks him back for the Samoan Drop, getting the pinfall after. Jules slips out of the ring as Watson and Young return to the ring to tend to Kingston. The Usos and Sheamus have their arms raised separately, each pleased with the victory. We then cut backstage to see Rey Mysterio walking down a hall as he will be speaking – next! Commercial BreakWe return and Rey Mysterio[/color] proceeds to make his way out to cheers from the Portland crowd. He comes to the ring and takes a microphone, growing a smile across his face. "You know it's always good to be here on the West coast. But I'm out here to talk. Not talk about losing the World Heavyweight Championship match last night, that I can accept... what I can't accept from last night though, is how Big Show attacked me after our match. I get it, but I don't get it. So, Big Show, I'm asking you come on out here and help me understand why you decided to lay me out last night in your fit of rage." Big Show[/color] responds and makes his way down to the ring slowly, eventually entering the ring and towering over Mysterio with his own microphone. Rey puts his arms out and begins to ask 'why?' over and over but Show doesn't respond until he grabs Rey by the throat and tosses him down to the mat. He backs him into the corner and towers over him but Rey sends a boot up to the gut. He grabs onto the ropes and brings himself up, kicking Show in the face. He then launches off the ropes in a springboard but is caught in the World's Largest Athlete's arms and throw across the top rope. Show lets him drop onto his feet on the apron and then boots him right off in the face! He exits the ring and brings Rey up again, throwing him shoulder first into the steel steps. He kicks the top part of the steps off and takes Rey onto his feet, lifting him for a chokeslam as the crowd boos and referees come to ringside to try and stop him. Show ignores their pleas, however, and chokeslams Rey right down on the steel! The crowd roars with boos as Mysterio doesn't move, the officials trying to keep Show away. They call for medics and a stretcher proceeds to come to ringside with the medical staff. Show stares and begins to go up the ramp as Mysterio is helped. Commercial BreakChris Jericho defeats[/color] World Heavyweight Champion Bryan Danielson to earn a title shot at King of the Ring[/color][/b] The match starts off with quick technical action, Danielson gaining the upper hand after a few minutes and hitting a huge kick to the back of the head while Jericho is on the apron, sending him to the floor. A commercial break interrupts at this point. When we return, the World Champion is still in control on the mat and brings Y2J up, the two trading momentum in the following minutes. Jericho fails to nail the Codebreaker and Bryan goes for a pin, but gets just a two count. As soon as Y2J is up Danielson hits a huge kick to the back of the head. He then goes to the top rope and waits for Jericho to get up, taunting to the crowd. He dives off for a clothesline but Chris avoids it and delivers a huge Codebreaker! He then hooks up both legs and pins the World Heavyweight Champion! The crowd roars with cheers as Jericho rises to his feet over Danielson, whom slowly rolls out of the ring. He smirks to the crowd as his arm is raised in victory. He proceeds to walk around to each side of the ring and taunt to the crowd, motioning for the World Heavyweight Championship each time as well. Danielson, meanwhile, sits up against the barricade and clutches hold of the top of his head in disbelief of his loss. Jerry Lawler leaves us with the question: "Could this be the fate at King of the Ring when these two face while the title is on the line?" as Raw comes to an end.[/font][/center]

- Jericho and Danielson, I can dig it. I like that Jericho shows his old personality. I miss that from him. - I can roll with Ziggler. The little mark inside me woulda loved Bourne, but eh, Ziggles is good. - Kharma owning ****, that's what's up. Beth and AJ banding together is weird to me, idk why. - CM Punk tearing Johnny up on the mic! And a Kenny Omega and Jim Cornette name drop. For the win! - heh, Punk outsmarting Johnny, WHAT HE GONNA DO!? - ARTON! Glad he beat Miz. - I like the push for the Usos, they deserve it. - Monster Big Show is always fun to see. - Jericho wins! You know what this means, Danielson wins at KOTR, but I'd be totally fine with that.
Admittedly, I've never been a dedicated reader of this, only have done it casually, so I'll have to learn about everything going on. I'll try and stick with it.

Everything he just said, that goes double for me, I really did end up enjoying RAW much more than I expected and it is building up towards King of the Ring, that's for sure

5/26/11 Superstars Results; CM Punk's Promo Reported by A.J. Mathews
Superstars - May 25, 2011 - Santino Marella defeated Goldust defeated The Dudebusters with Caylen Croft following a Diving Headbutt from Marella. - Drew McIntyre defeated Joe Hennig via pinfall following the Future Shock DDT; he cut a promo afterward saying that he is going to be the face of Superstars. - The WWE Week in Review video shown on Monday Night Raw was replayed for a video segment. - The same strange video that has been airing in recent weeks showed, hyping up "6/20/11". - Derrick Bateman defeated Tyson Kidd via pinfall following a roll up. After the match, Kidd attacked Bateman until William Regal made the save for his former NXT Rookie. Regal and Bateman stared down Kidd and Natalya as they backed up the ramp to end the show.
- The promo cut by CM Punk on Monday Night Raw is being praised by many. It was clearly a worked shoot, but it appears to be wowing everybody. The apparent reason for this sudden face turn, according to various sources, is many were tired of the same program Punk was running and wanted a change.

MAY 26TH, 2011 - SPOKANE, WASHINGTON
"Yes, sir, we promised you a great main event..." CUE OPENING PACKAGE [/color][/b][/size] The pyros go off across the stage, the voice of Jim Ross welcoming everybody to Thursday Night Smackdown - live! He and Josh Mathews talk back and forth of how every week on Thursday Smackdown will be live from here forward, and it's just another chapter in the illustrious history of Smackdown! After a bit of silence, WWE Champion John Cena[/color] proceeds to make his way out to the ramp to a very large mixed reaction. He brings himself to the ring and shows off his belt before grabbing a microphone, welcoming in the cheers and the 'Cena sucks' as his music fades. "Whether you love me or hate me I get to say once again THE CHAMP! IS! HERE!" More uproar from the Washington crowd as Cena adjusts the belt on his shoulder, "This past Sunday I walked into a steel cage with Alberto Del Rio and you may of seen it. If you didn't, however, let me just inform each of you I whooped his ass right up and down the chain links and it felt damn good!" He walks around a bit, energized, preparing to say more only to be cut off by Alberto Del Rio[/color] himself. He stays atop the ramp with Ricardo, staring Cena down and clutching a microphone. Cena speaks before he can, "Whoa whoa whoa, let me guess what you want Alberto!" He rubs his chin a bit, pondering, "You want a brand new car! Am I right?" Del Rio stares at him unamused and Cena continues to walk around, now scratching his head, "No? Okay... what about... a new butt buddy not named Ricardo?" The crowd gets a little bit of a chuckle as Rodriguez and Del Rio exchange looks of disbelief at the comment. Alberto cuts Cena off as he goes to say something else, "I want my WWE Championship back Cena! That's what I want!" They stare down and Cena adjusts his belt, backing up to the middle of the ring and laying it down. "You want this, Alberto? Then come get it." He throws the microphone down to cheers from the crowd, proceeding to remove his shirt and toss out to the fans. He motions for Del Rio to come to the ring and he begins to walk down, laughing as he gets to the bottom of the ramp and wagging his finger. "No, no, John. You see... I talked with Miss Vickie Guerrero before the show, and you're going to give me my rematch later tonight - In a handicap match against me and Ricardo!" A mixed reaction comes from the crowd as Cena puts his hands on his hips, the duo headed up the ramp together leaving the WWE Champion without a fight. Commercial BreakAs it has in recent weeks, a promotional video that shows flames going wild and an old abandoned building in the middle of nowhere being slowly engulfed by it. A graveyard image flashes in between and the screen constantly fuzzes up, flashing the date of "6/20/11" over and over in front of the flames. The images continue to go back and forth of the house burning more and more and the still image of the graveyard. But unlike the usual ending, a scream is heard. Unified Tag Team Champions The Usos with Abraham Washington defeat[/color] World's Greatest Tag Team to retain[/color][/b] Benjamin starts off with Jimmy, and they go back and forth. Jimmy gains control and proceeds to make frequent tags with his brother Jules. They nail multiple double team manuevers and get a bunch of near falls, Shelton eventually making the tag to Haas. He puts up a strong fight against the twin brothers, but a Samoan Drop-clothesline combo move is delivered dead smack in the middle of the ring and the pinfall is made without any attempt at stopping it by Benjamin. The Usos take their title belts and celebrate on the outside with Abraham Washington. They proceed to head up the ramp as Benjamin enters the ring and helps his partner up, the two talking a bit only for Shelton to deliver a sudden low blow kick! The crowd roars with boos as Benjamin proceeds to hit the Paydirt! He then rises up over Charlie and stares at him without any words and then exiting the ring, Haas completely laid out cold. Commercial BreakCody Rhodes defeats[/color] Alex Riley in a King of the Ring First Round Match[/color][/b] Riley gets the upper hand to start things off as he tosses Rhodes all around the ring to start things off. He even goes for an early You're Dismissed, but Rhodes manages to get free and work away at him. After Riley gets another surge of momentum, Rhodes pushes Riley to the referee, cowering him in the corner. He nails a low blow kick to Alex and then the Cross Rhodes, getting the pinfall. Rhodes proceeds to celebrate his victory, as he has seemed to regain some momentum following his loss to Christian at Extreme Rules this past Sunday. We cut to ringside where J.R. and Josh Mathews talk about the pay-per-view on Sunday and how after the Wade Barrett and Edge match, the Rated R Superstar was thrown off the apron and through a table, resulting in a neck injury. He will not require surgery, but has been informed he will be out of action for an indefinite amount of time. We proceed to see the graphic for the main event, and also tonight - Sin Cara vs Jack Swagger for the United States Championship! Commercial BreakWe return to see Matt Striker following Shelton Benjamin in the halls, trying to get a word with him about his attack on Charlie Haas. Benjamin keeps ignoring him though as he walks down the hall and arrives at a door. He turns to Striker as he grips hold of the handle, "The only reason it was called the World's Greatest Tag Team, Matt, was because of me. I've been carrying that team since it formed way back when, and every time I've felt sympathetic for Charlie, I've given him the opportunity to be better and I'm honestly just fed up. It's about time I start worrying about me again." He opens the door and heads in. We cut to Matt Striker, whom introduces his guest at this time to be Jack Swagger. He mentions last week and how Swagger was so confident in defeating Sin Cara, that he said he'd be willing to put the title on the line tonight if he managed to lose, and asks him if he has regret doing it. Swagger stares at him, "Regret? I don't have any regret! I simply let Sin Cara beat me last week on Smackdown so I could get the opportunity to prove to everybody live that I can win. That I can be the better man! So tonight, I put my United States Championship up for grabs against Sin Cara, and trust me, I ain't showing no mercy tonight as I will walk away still the champion." He struts off, as his match is up next! Commercial BreakSin Cara defeats[/color] United States Champion Jack Swagger via disqualification; Swagger retains[/color][/b] The bell rings and the two lock up with each other, Swagger hitting some various take down strong moves. Cara begins to fight back and uses his quick and aerial style to take control. After a commercial break interrupts the match, we return to Swagger in control, and he ends up going for the Gut Wrench Powerbomb after a couple of minutes, only for Cara to slip free and dropkick him to the outside. He follows after him but Swagger nails him with the United States Title belt out of nowhere! Swagger begins to stumble away as the crowd boos, the champion raising the belt up into the air. He turns back to Cara and looks around the arena, rushing back to the Mexican superstar and cracking the belt into the back of the head! The referee pleas with him to back off, Swagger throwing the title over his shoulder and walking away as other officials come by to tend to Cara and help him out. Commercial BreakThe Raw Rebound airs, highlighting the two King of the Ring matches that took place with Randy Orton defeating The Miz and last year's winner Dolph Ziggler defeating Evan Bourne. The show proceeds on with Big Show destroying Rey Mysterio out of anger, CM Punk completely ripping into John Laurinaitis in a shocking promo, and lastly Chris Jericho defeating Bryan Danielson to get a World Heavyweight Championship match at King of the Ring. John Morrison defeats[/color] Zack Ryder in a King of the Ring First Round Match[/color][/b] The match is pretty one sided right from the start, as the bell tolls and Morrison takes Ryder down. He completely runs through him with his acrobatic talents, but misses the Starship Pain after getting too cocky. Ryder proceeds to get some moves in, but when he goes for the Rough Ryder, Morrison drops him face first into the turnbuckle and nails the Starship Pain and gets the pin. Morrison proceeds to get to his feet and raise his arm up in victory with the referee. He taunts to the crowd and motions for a crown upon his head. We proceed to head backstage to see Christian walking down a hallway - as he is apparently going to be speaking next! Commercial BreakWe return in the backstage area and Beth Phoenix is seen unconscious in the halls. Vickie Guerrero comes onto the scene asking what happened and April Lee is up against the wall, explaining hysterically that Kharma came and attacked her. Vickie turns to April and says that next week - it will be April and Beth against Kharma in a handicap match, and if either of them manages to pin her, they'll get a title shot at King of the Ring. Headed into the arena, Christian[/color] proceeds to make his way out to the ramp. He gets a decent reaction from the crowd as he comes to the ring and takes hold of a microphone, looking around the arena as he pats the mic in the palm of his hand. "I was taken out of action at Survivor Series last year and wasn't able to come back until this past February. I managed to compete at WrestleMania and I've been a part of Over the Limit and Extreme Rules... but what I've come to realize is that I haven't gotten the respect I deserve since being the WWE Champion. I won it in the main event of Summerslam for crying out loud!" He walks around the ring, getting a mixed reaction from the Spokane crowd, "Because of all of this, I have been working on a project to get myself some respect going on around here! So ladies and gentlemen, my enforcer!" He points up the ramp and after a bit of silence, Ezekiel Jackson[/color] proceeds to come out to boos. Zeke eventually gets into the ring and Christian gives a smile, looking back out to the crowd, "So let this be a warning to anybody who dare disrespect me!" He throws the microphone down and slaps his chest in taunt as the crowd boos, Christian and Zeke exiting the ring. Commercial BreakWWE Champion John Cena vs[/color] Alberto Del Rio and Ricardo Rodriguez goes to a No Contest[/color][/b] The bell rings and Cena begins to fire off at Del Rio, knocking him down in the corner. He then goes at Ricardo and takes him out. Del Rio manages to nail him from behind, and takes control for a few minutes. He and Ricardo get some double team work going, but Cena manages to bring them both over the top rope and to the outside - leading to a commercial break. Returning, Cena works Ricardo all around the ring like a rag doll. Alberto stays on the outside, sitting against the announce table. Cena then delivers a huge Attitude Adjustment right in the middle of the ring to Ricardo and goes for the pin, pulling off at two though. He gets up and motions for Alberto to get into the ring. The crowd begins to roar with boos, however, as Wade Barrett suddenly comes into the ring from behind and clocks Cena with his money in the bank briefcase! Del Rio comes roaring into the ring but gets nailed as well, the referee calling for the bell! Barrett proceeds to hand the briefcase to the official and he moves quickly to the ropes, talking with Tony Chimel whom proceeds to announce that Wade Barrett is cashing in his Money in the Bank briefcase! The crowd boos loudly as he kicks Del Rio out of the ring and Cena begins to stir, the official checking on him and Cena grabbing him by the collar, "I never back down from a fight..." The official then calls for the bell! Wade Barrett defeats John Cena to win the WWE Championship Barrett charges right at the champ and knees him in the stomach, flipping him over onto his back. He then drags Cena up onto his feet and raises him onto his shoulders, nailing the Wasteland in the middle of the ring! The crowd roars with a mixture of boos and cheers as Barrett pumps both his fists into the air in pre-celebration, placing his foot down on Cena's chest and gets the three count. The crowd continues to give their mixed reaction as the referee awards Barrett the WWE Championship! He climbs to the second turnbuckle and pumps it high into the air while yelling out to the crowd. Alberto sits on the outside in disbelief and frustration as Cena cringes up in the corner, not sure how to react. Barrett ascends each turnbuckle and continues to work over the crowd. Jim Ross comments, "Mr. Money in the Bank has indeed cashed in as he is the new WWE Champion! By God, I can't believe it!" The first week of live Smackdown has concluded with a bang! We fade to black.[/font][/center]

Smackdown Review
Smackdown opening with the new WWE Champion John Cena, I want Cena to lose that WWE Title because I can't stand seeing him wearing that title, better yet I can't stand Cena period and I am glad that Del Rio put a stop to this madness by telling Cena he wants his WWE Championship back and he will get his rematch in a Handicap Match because it will be Ricardo and Del Rio vs Cena
6/20/11 is Kane, and Kane will rise up from the ashes, rising back up from the dead and he will come back as Masked Kane
Usos beating WGTT to retain the WWE Unified Tag Team Championship was great, but what was even better was Shelton Benjamin turning heel on Charlie Haas, now that heel turn was definitely unexpected but that was what made it great, and now Shelton can go back to being The Gold Standard, the cocky arrogant brash Gold Standard and for Haas he can simply just go away
Rhodes beating Riley to move on in the KOTR tournament, I can see Rhodes winning this tournament becoming King Rhodes
Edge is going to be out for quite some time, I see him coming back at around Royal Rumble 2012 or he will come back at Elimination Chamber 2012
Shelton Benjamin's interview I loved it and Jack Swagger's interview I also loved too
Swagger knows he got lucky against Sin Cara getting himself DQ'ed intentionally because he knows that he can't beat Sin Cara
Morrison vs Ryder, another impressive match-up here
Kharma means business especially with that attack on Beth, and now next week it is going to be a Handicap Match of Kharma facing both Beth and AJ and whoever gets the pin faces Kharma at King of the Ring for the WWE Divas Championship
Christian's heel turn was completely out of nowhere, there was like not even any build-up towards his heel turn, again another unexplained heel turn that came completely from nowhere, not even any real build-up leading to it, but again at the same time I am glad that Christian is heel because he can change his theme song back to the Waterproof Blonde version of Close Your Eyes, but I am glad that Ezekiel Jackson is his new "Problem Solver" much like how Tomko was back in the day
Cena vs Del Rio/Ricardo ending in a No Contest and then Cena being attacked after the match by Wade Barrett the MITB Ladder Match winner with his briefcase and Del Rio being attacked too by Barrett and Barrett cashing in his briefcase on Cena and Barrett cashing in successfully on Cena becoming the new WWE Champion
Glad Wade Barrett is the new WWE Champion, hopefully with Barrett he gets a long reign with the belt
Wade is the first-ever English-born WWE Champion, the first Brit to become WWE Champion making history

SMACKDOWN BABEH! A nice opening segment for the first live SmackDown, and a Handicap Match sounds good. Ricardo is actually an outstanding wrestler, I hope he is utilised well. Kane will be back soon, obviously. I'm very happy to see The Usos as the WWE Tag Team Champions, it's long overdue. A nice victory over the World's Greatest Tag Team... oh no! Shelton Benjamin turning heel is the right call. I hope these two actually feud since they never actually did in real life. Cody Rhodes is an obvious choice to get into the King of the Ring Tournament over Alex Riley. Rhodes is a potential winner in my eyes. A clever decision to have Sin Cara win by disqualification as it keeps him strong, but allows Swagger to retain the United States Championship. But I wonder where this can go from here, surely it can only end with Cara capturing the gold. Very happy to see John Morrison qualify for the King of the Ring Tournament; another potential winner. Christian turning heel again? And bringing in Ezekiel Jackson as his enforcer? We'll see how this goes. Finally, an astonishing Main Event to say the least. Wade Barrett totally ruining it by causing it to go to a No Contest, but it was worth it to see him cash-in and make a big impact on the first live SmackDown, becoming the new WWE Champion. A nice show, look forward to seeing how you book Wade Barrett's reign.

RAW: Now that Extreme Rules has passed, Bryan Danielson is now moving on to Chris Jericho. I enjoy Jericho as both a heel and a face. As a face though, he has that smartass quality about him that makes me want to watch him. Should be an awesome feud. Looks like Ziggler is attempting a repeat run for King of the Ring. It will be interesting to see who he goes up against next. Kharma continues her reign of terror on the women's division. She's become such a threat that it appears both April Lee and Beth Phoenix must join forces to combat her. Loved the CM Punk shoot promo and the name dropping, especially Kaval and Jim Cornette. He described John Lauranitis perfectly and there's nothing the former Dynamic Dude can do about it. He's a big name and Lauranitis can't fire him. Randy Orton winning over the Miz seemed like the right call to progress in the KOTR tournament. Love the push the Usos are getting. Them and Sheamus over Kofi Kingston and the South Beach Party Boys was the right call. Looks like we have a Big Show/Rey Mysterio feud now. It should be interesting. Chris Jericho victorious over Bryan Danielson is good to see as it now establishes Jericho as a threat. Great show!
SmackDown: Like I said when I reviewed Extreme Rules, I'm not really into John Cena as champion again, especially after such a short reign for Alberto Del Rio. A handicap match for later on in the show sounds good. These 6/20/11 vignettes are obviously for Kane. Can't to see what happens with that. Another big victory for the Usos and the break-up of the World's Greatest Tag Team. Now, Shelton Benjamin can make another singles run without being held back by Charlie Haas. Although I'm curious as, due to the WGTT's split, what you plan to do in regards to making new tag teams. Cody Rhodes beating Alex Riley to advance in the KOTR tournament seemed obvious from the start. He just has more going for him right now. Sin Cara winning by disqualification was the right call as it protects him and allows Jack Swagger to keep the United States Championship. John Morrison advancing in the KOTR was also a good call. He has a good chance to win it all. The whole Kharma/April Lee/Beth Phoenix storyline is picking up steam here. It will be interesting to see how it turns out. Not sure what to think of Christian's heel turn here. It just seemed out of nowhere for him to just turn heel and pick up Ezekiel Jackson as his problem solver. But I'm sure you know what you're doing. A great main event with Wade Barrett cashing in his Money-in-the-Bank briefcase to become WWE Champion. Cena's reign certainly didn't last long. Now the Barrett Era has begun. Great show!
I do have something to address though in regards to SmackDown. With Shelton Benjamin and Christian turning heel, there doesn't seem to be many strong faces left on the show. You have John Cena as the top face, but not many others who can help carry the main event picture besides him. On RAW, you have at least CM Punk, Chris Jericho, Randy Orton and Rey Mysterio. It's just something to that stuck out to me.
Anyway, keep up the awesome work!

MAY 30TH, 2011 - OMAHA, NEBRASKA
"Yes, sir, we promised you a great main event..." CUE OPENING PACKAGE[/color][/b][/size] There is no pyrotechnical display as we head into the arena, no commentary either as the Co-General Manager of Raw John Laurinaitis stands still in the middle of the ring. He holds onto a microphone as the crowd boos and he brings it up slowly, "Last week right here on Monday Night Raw CM Punk came to this ring and he started slinging crap about me left and right. He made me out to be one of the worst human beings to grace this Earth, and as you all know I am a great person!" The crowd boos him as he smiles. It soon fades as chants of 'You suck' begin to break out, "I do not suck, and any of you who think I actually do should leave right now because you are simply unappreciative of what I do for each of you every week. You think that Triple H sets up these fantastic matches for all of you? No. That's me! It's all me!" The boos continue to build up until Triple H[/color] brings himself out to the crowd now going nuts. He comes into the ring and approaches John with a microphone of his own, slowly bringing it up. "If I weren't the General Manager now, I would of come out here as soon as the show started and whooped your ass." The Omaha crowd loves it and cheers on, beginning a 'Triple H' chant before allowing him to speak some more, "I find it kind of funny, John, that you come out here and you talk about Punk talking about you and then you talk about me. Last week I believe CM Punk was absolutely honest, and you shouldn't be mad at him. The only reason you still have a position right here and now is because some people just like having somebody pathetic like you kissing their ass." The crowd continues to cheer on as the two stare at each other. Suddenly, CM Punk[/color] brings himself out to wild cheers. He spreads his arms out and works the crowd a bit. He eventually gets to the ring and takes a microphone from ringside, giving a smile to the two men. A little bit of silence as they all look to each other, Punk slowly bringing his mic up and holding off on speaking momentarily, "Hunter, you said just after you came out here that if you weren't the General Manager, you would of come out here and beat the hell out of Johnny as soon as the show started?" Hunter nods to him and Punk looks over to Laurinaitis, then back at Triple H, "Well I ain't no General Manager - so why don't I kick his ass for you?" The crowd roars with cheers as Johnny backs up to the corner and Punk approaches. Laurinaitis quickly pulls his microphone up, "Punk, if you're going to fight anyone... fight your opponent for the King of the Ring tournament." The music of Drew McIntyre[/color] then hits, and he makes his way out to the ramp as the crowd boos. As Punk turns to look up the ramp, Laurinaitis slips out of the ring and hurries up the ramp. He says something to Drew on the way and he gives a nod. This first round King of the Ring match is up next! Commercial BreakCM Punk defeats Drew McIntyre in a King of the Ring First Round Match The bell rings and Punk completely unloads with a set of strikes from both his fists and feet. McIntyre gets a short fight back in after the opening minutes following a clothesline. He hits a few suplexes and a big boot before setting up for the Future Shock DDT, only for Punk to slip free and launches him into the corner. He nails the knee to the jaw, lets him up and delivers the Go To Sleep right in the middle of the ring. He goes for the pinfall but pulls off at two and locks in the Anaconda Vice. McIntyre taps out after only about five seconds. Punk rises onto his feet and gets a huge ovation from the crowd. He has his arm raised and he hops onto the turnbuckle, taunting to the crowd. He calls for the camera to come to him and he grips a hold of it, staring down into it and talking through it, "Come on, Johnny. Give me some real competition!" Commercial BreakBig Show defeats Locals James Rollins and Tyler Preston[/color][/b] This comes to no single person's surprise as Show drives his boot into the head of James to start. He then goes to Tyler and beats him down in the corner. He tosses them both around like rag dolls and takes his time, then going to each and working them with all his power to show off. Show eventually delivers a chokeslam to the two of them at once and gets the double pinfall for the victory. Show slowly gets onto his feet to boos from the crowd as he puts both fists into the air. He struts around a little bit before calling for a microphone. "Oh what's the matter, Nebraska? You still hurting from the beat down I put on Rey Mysterio?" He gets some heat for that and he walks around a little bit more, "If that's the case - then let me tell you right here and now that I am not bothered one bit by the hell I put him through last week when I sent him packing on a stretcher. Now believe me when I say this too - I care even less of what you all think of myself or my actions. Get over it." He throws the microphone down to more boos, which suddenly turn to cheers as Rey Mysterio comes into the ring from behind. He begins to fire off shot after shot at Show and goes for a springboard, only to be caught and smashed back first into the corner. Mysterio yells out in pain as Show puts his foot down on the back that is clearly still hurting. Rey continues to yell out as multiple officials come out, begging Show to stop. He doesn't, however, and exits the ring slowly. He drags Rey under the ropes and lets him hit the floor. He stares at all the officials to get them to back off and he takes Rey onto his feet again, lifting him up high in a military press. The crowd's boos grow louder and the pleas of the referees keep coming as Show moves over to the steel post, tossing Mysterio spine first into it! Show finally backs off as the refs check down on Rey immediately, medics once again coming down with a stretcher as Rey continues to groan in pain and not move. Show walks around the ring and begins to head up to the ramp to the boos and comments from the crowd. Commercial BreakReturning, Big Show is walking backstage and Todd Grisham tries to catch up to him but he is just ignored. Triple H begins to storm up from behind, pushing Todd aside and charging right up behind Show and slapping him on the shoulder to get him to turn. "What the hell is wrong with you, Show? Huh? What do you think you're doing?" Show just stares back down at him and doesn't give any words, "Oh you can talk just fine when you want to, right? Well you won't have to do any talking in just a few weeks because at King of the Ring you're going to actually face Rey Mysterio one on one in a stretcher match." Triple H storms off as Show just watches him go away, still not giving a single word of response. We head to see Josh Mathews regrouping himself walking down a different hallway and Sheamus steps up in front of him. He gives a smile and looks down to Mathews, "Since the big fella wouldn't give ya interview, why don't ya get one with the guy who is goin' ta' beat ta' number one contender tonight?" Josh adjusts himself and pulls the microphone up, "Sheamus wha-" the Celtic Warrior quickly shakes his hands out, "Conduct it like ya always do fella. Give your lil' introduction, I like it when ya do that." Mathews stops himself and sighs a bit, "Ladies and gentlemen, my guest at this time 'The Celtic Warrior', Sheamus." He gets some boos in the background as he gives a smug grin, "Sheamus, tonight you get the opportunity to face the number one contender to the World Heavyweight Championship, Chris Jericho, what are your thoughts?" He laughs a bit, "My thoughts are that I have been overlooked constantly here since I made my debut in the WWE. I went right up to John Laurinaitis and I says to him, 'Aye, Johnny, I think I should be gettin treated a lil' bit better around here', and he agreed and gave me this chance. So if the Co-General Manager of Monday Night Raw believes in Sheamus, why doesn't the WWE Universe?" He throws his arms out to Josh, who gives a shrug back, "I'm gonna prove to the WWE Universe tonight that Sheamus should not only be the number one contender, but that Sheamus should be World Heavyweight Champion." He walks away as we fade to commercial. Commercial BreakRandy Orton and[/color] Evan Bourne defeat[/color] The Miz and[/color] Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler with Kaitlyn[/color][/b] These two teams faced the opposing others in the first round of King of the Ring last week on Raw, and they team up now. Bourne and Miz start things off, going back and forth early on. Miz eventually makes a tag to Ziggler after Bourne completely runs through him with his acrobatic moves. Dolph takes control from there, keeping Evan grounded and he begins to make back and forth tags with Miz. Orton gets the tag after a knee to the face from Bourne to Miz that lays him out. The Viper comes in and beats the hell out of Ziggler whom tries to interrupt. He then escapes the Skull Crushing Finale and nails a hard RKO! He then makes the tag to Evan Bourne and he climbs the top rope and nails the Air Bourne almost perfectly! He gets the three count on Miz. Orton steps to the middle of the ring and has his arm raised up with Bourne. Ziggler, meanwhile, is already headed up the ramp with his Intercontinental Championship and Kaitlyn. He seems not to care at all as Miz gets up onto both his knees in the corner and turns back in frustration. He charges up behind Bourne and Orton but The Viper is aware of it as he is looking up at the titantron and drops him with yet another RKO! The crowd roars with cheers. Commercial BreakReturning, a similar promotional video airs as it has in recent weeks. A building is burning down and screams are in the background along with cries of, 'Help!'. A graveyard image flashes multiple times in between the calls and it eventually comes to a black screen. We cut to the graveyard alone and flames slowly begin to form on the ground and it forms the date of "6/20/11" and fades away once again. Beth Phoenix vs[/color] April Lee goes to a No Contest[/color][/b] By orders of Vickie Guerrero, these two will team up to face Kharma this Thursday and if either gets a pin on the Diva's Champion, they'll get a title shot at King of the Ring. The bell rings and the two lock up. They begin to go at each other with a few take downs, but they are quickly interrupted by Kharma[/color] herself. She comes to the ring and enters, quickly approaching the two of them and being met with shots. Kharma quickly pushes the two of them down and backs the referee into the corner. The duo then attack the champion from behind and fire off over and over again. Kharma quickly takes them both by the throat and backs them to the ring only to be kicked in the knees. April and Beth then deliver a double DDT right in the middle of the ring to cheers from the crowd! They rise to their feet together and hold each other's arms up in celebration! Commercial BreakWe return to the WWE Week in Review segment. Last week on Monday Night Raw, Chris Jericho challenged World Heavyweight Champion Bryan Danielson to a match in which if he won he'd get a title match at King of the Ring. Then, over on Smackdown Alberto Del Rio prepared to challenge John Cena in a rematch for his WWE Championship he had lost the previous Sunday. As the two battled, however, Mr. Money in the Bank himself in Wade Barrett interfered and cashed in - taking the championship belt away from Cena following the Wasteland. We head back into the arena to see John Laurinaitis in his office, pacing back in forth on his phone, "Yeah I know. But can you just get here next week or something? I kind of need you... Why the he-" He pulls the phone away as it appears he has been hung up on. Triple H then walks into the room and steps up to him with his arms crossed, "Who was that on the phone that you needed so badly?" Johnny puts his hands up and goes to explain but Hunter reaches into his jacket and takes the phone away. He starts to go through it and Laurinaitis takes it back. "You don't need to worry about that, Hunter. That's my own personal business." He stuffs it back into his pocket and Triple H gets up into his face, "If you try and pull something, Johnny, and be unprofessional... trust me. I'll show you what unprofessional truly is." He stares him down and gives a scowl before walking away. Commercial BreakWe return to see an advertizement for Smackdown this week: Wade Barrett cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase last week on John Cena, and is now the WWE Champion. This Thursday, he will have his own celebration live! Tune in and watch the party take place. Kofi Kingston defeats[/color] Carlito in a King of the Ring First Round Match[/color][/b] The bell tolls and the two lock up with each other, Carlito shoving Kofi into the corner and working him early on. He gets the upper hand and begins to taunt to the crowd as if he already won, to which Kofi proceeds to completely go through him with tons of different variations of strikes and kicks. Carlito ducks the Trouble in Paradise, however, and goes for the Backstabber only for Kofi to grab the ropes and lets Carlito fall. He turns and nails Trouble in Paradise perfectly and gets the pinfall. Kingston pops up onto his feet and hops onto the second turnbuckle, working the crowd up a bit as he will be advancing to the next round in the King of the Ring tournament! We cut backstage to see the floor. The camera slowly pans up to show Chris Jericho walking down the hall and the crowd cheers in the background. He goes head to head against 'The Celtic Warrior' Sheamus in the main event next. Commercial BreakChris Jericho defeats[/color] Sheamus[/color][/b] The bell rings and the two lock up with each other, Sheamus bringing Jericho down with some powerful moves. Jericho fights back though and uses some quick moves to get the upper hand. The match goes back and forth for a few minutes until Sheamus delivers the Brogue Kick, causing Jericho to flop out of the ring. A commercial break interrupts there. Once we return, Sheamus is still in control and goes for the Celtic Cross, only for Y2J to slip free and nail a few clotheslines. He gets the upper hand and ends up locking in the Walls of Jericho. Sheamus gets the break and Jericho begins to take a breather. He gets a shot to the gut and Sheamus returns to his feet, Jericho ducking a clothesline and the referee being dropped hard. Y2J then delivers the Codebreaker and goes for the pin only for the official not even moving. He slowly gets up and Bryan Danielson comes charging to the ring. The two trade strikes back and forth and Jericho tosses him away into the corner. He then begins to fight with Sheamus in the corner and gets shoved away. Bryan comes charging with the World Title belt clutched and Y2J ducks, the Celtic Warrior being smacked right in the face with it! Jericho proceeds to dropkick Danielson out of the ring and hook both legs of Sheamus, the referee slowly moving over and counting the three. The crowd cheers as Jericho gets up to his feet, pumping both fits in the air. As he is celebrating, however, Danielson returns into the ring and this time executes with the shot to the face with the World Heavyweight Championship belt! The crowd returns to boos as Bryan keeps the title hanging from his hand and puts his other fist high into the air. The show slowly fades to an end as Danielson remains standing over his opponent for King of the Ring.[/font][/center]

RAW: A good opening featuring the CM Punk/Triple H/John Lauranitis feud. Really showcased the animosity that both Punk and Hunter have with the former Dynamic Dude. Punk's win over Drew McIntyre was the right and obvious call. Could we be looking at King Punk? We just might. Nice squash match for the Big Show. It served its purpose at showcasing Show as the unstoppable monster that he is, especially with the post-match beatdown he gave Rey Mysterio. But now Mysterio has a chance at revenge at King of the Ring. Good interview showing Sheamus as a top contender on RAW. Sweet tag team match featuring Randy Orton, Evan Bourne, Dolph Ziggler and the Miz. It could've gone either or with this one with Orton and Ziggler having advanced in the KOTR tournament. But good match, especially the RKO to the Miz to cap it off. Another promo in regards to Kane's return, unless you have some swerve that we don't know about. Good match featuring AJ Lee and Beth Phoenix, and having them get the better of the Diva's Champion Kharma also served its purpose in furthering this feud. With Lee and Phoenix united against a common enemy, it might spell a threat for Kharma's reign. I wonder who Lauranitis was talking to. Guess we'll find out next week. Right call with Kofi Kingston advancing in the KOTR tournament with a victory over Carlito. So far, there are a lot of top notch contenders to take the crown this year. Awesome main event with Chris Jericho and Sheamus. It really helps both guys as it gives Jericho momentum going into his match with Bryan Danielson and raises Sheamus' stock as a main event player. Great show! Glad to see you back. Keep up the awesome work.
