WWE Money in the Bank: Sunday 16th September 2012...The Usos defeating Kassius Ohno and Antonio Cesaro on the Pre-Show is fine, but if it's a disqualification finish, an explanation would have been nice to read. Onto the show, a solid opening contest with the SmackDown Money in the Bank match. In this one, I could have easily seen Bryan Danielson, Seth Rollins, The Miz, Alberto Del Rio, Damien Sandow, Wade Barrett or John Morrison win (because lol Sin Cara sucks), and Danielson winning wasn't too big a surprise, if I do say so. It looks like you are teasing a breakup with Sandow and Danielson, which is expected after this, and Bryan's potential singles run with the Money in the Bank briefcase and all. Up next, a decent match between Mark Henry and Ryback, but I wasn't too pleased about two gimmick matches practically in a row - the No Holds Barred stipulation works for the end of Sheamus and Henry's business, but it was so soon after the hard-hitting ladder match. Next, a good win for Sheamus against Kofi Kingston, winning the World Heavyweight Championship - as much as I dislike him as a face. I'm wondering where you are going with this, hopefully he won't have the title in time for the road to WrestleMania XXIX, anyway. Another new champion crowned immediately after Sheamus hurt the World title, I think, but it's fine that Beth Phoenix defeated Kaitlyn to win the WWE Divas Championship. Up next, a strange triple threat match with John Cena predictably retaining the WWE Championship against Cody Rhodes and Dean Ambrose. Cena being in his hometown, and his opponents being a level lower than him, it was clear that Cena would be retaining, in my opinion. And finally, the RAW Money in the Bank ladder match. A good bout, I expected Randy Orton, Chris Jericho (the inventor hasn't been able to win Money in the Bank yet, that must suck), Dolph Ziggler or Christian to win it, so I'm unsure why Edge got the win in the end. The write-up was good, though. Not fond of you copying WWE and bringing in Rob Van Dam though. Too soon. Also surprised that Edge is still around, given that even if he didn't get injured in 2011, he would have still had to retire at some point afterwards. Additionally, Edge has already won the briefcase, which is disappointing. Someone new to win it would have been cool to see. Overall, a decent show from start to finish, very realistic. The write-ups were good, the ordering could have been switched up a little more, though. Additionally, the booking was a tad off, at least from my perspective.

I think that the concept of this diary is very interesting, with just writing the Pay-Per-Views. Orton/Sheamus Street Fight was very good and they have good chemistry together. Nice choice for the opener. I always liked the team of Bryan/Sandow, good idea. Ryback/Henry ending in a DQ was not something I expected as SummerSlam tends to end feuds and this seems like it will continue on. Three awesome tag teams, especially if Sin Cara is actually on his game. Couldn't be more stoked that the King of Wrestling got the win and they should dominate the tag team division for a long time. Been intrigued for a long time on Kofi Kingston being heel and this should've been an awesome four way match. Glad Kingston retained. Surprised Kaitlyn retained in the Battle Royal, but I guess the title should be won in an actual match. Tremendous Hell in a Cell, one of the better reads I've seen recently. Cena winning was the right call, and I love Ministry/heel Undertaker, but I doubt he can ever truly be a heel at this point in his career. Tough for any match to follow a WWE Title Hell in the Cell between two of the biggest stars of all time. Punk/Rock was a great main event and interesting to see The Rock go over. Overall, a great show, it would've just been tough for the crowd to stay up for two huge matches back to back.

Money in the Bank
With Danielson winning Money in the Bank, it seems Danielson is back on the rise to the main event but at the same time with Danielson winning it is only a matter of time before Danielson feuds with Sandow especially with the briefcase being on the line, it wouldn't surprise me if it happens but all I know is that Danielson is destined to become World Heavyweight Champion again especially because he can cash in any place any time
Henry destroying Ryback, I wonder if this is the last we will see of Ryback for quite a while especially with that World's Strongest Slam on the steel steps, he definitely inducted Ryback into the Hall of Pain, that should definitely put Ryback on the shelf but for Henry ever since returning he has been on a tear but it seems Ryback is showing vulnerability
Beth Phoenix becoming the new WWE Divas Champion beating Kaitlyn becoming WWE Divas Champion once again, Beth is well on her way to becoming the greatest WWE Divas Champion of all time, that is how many Divas Championships that she's won now? Beth could be the greatest diva of her generation perhaps even potentially becoming better than Lita or Trish ever were but certainly a diva with strength too but at the same time if Kaitlyn had retained her title it could have been a passing of the torch with Beth being the present and Kaitlyn being the future
Sheamus becoming the new World Heavyweight Champion ending Kofi's reign, I love it because now we can see Kofi become the challenger and let's see if Big Johnny will still stick by Kofi's side now that he's lost the title? Only a matter of time before Big Johnny turns on Kofi and when that happens Kofi will have no one to blame but himself but for Sheamus it is about time he won the title and now that he's champion here is hoping he has a good reign at least
Cena retaining the WWE Championship defeating both Rhodes and Ambrose the Mercenaries of Darkness in a Triple-Threat, it was obvious Cena was going to retain but with Ambrose turning on Rhodes I wonder what The Undertaker is going to do to both Ambrose and or Rhodes for failing him?
And Edge winning the WWE Championship Money in the Bank Ladder Match winning Money in the Bank for the 3rd time in his career, this really does nothing for me as a fan and it really does nothing for the rest of us as fans because Edge winning the briefcase for a 3rd time it really doesn't help Edge because he doesn't need the briefcase because he's already an 11-time WWE Champion, and the briefcase could have went to someone who really needed it, someone like Christian or RVD or even Orton who is fresh off a heel turn

SEPTEMBER 17 - OCTOBER 27 REVIEW
John Cena versus Mark Henry: Following the victory over Dean Ambrose and Cody Rhodes by Cena, he would come down to the ring the following night and make an open challenge to any superstar with his title on the line. The World's Strongest Man would respond and tell Cena that he would become the WWE Champion and induct Cena into the Hall of Pain. In a match between the two later on in the night, Henry and Cena would begin to brawl on the outside - resulting in a double count out. Mark wouldn't take lightly to it, and proceeded to begin a vicious assault on Cena atop the stage. After a World's Strongest Slam and a toss off of the stage into the equipment below, Cena would be taken out in an ambulance. Henry would return the following week on Raw with Cena absent and proclaim himself the new WWE Champion despite not having the belt, and would go on to defeat Ryback in a rematch from Money in the Bank. Cena would make his return the following week and take Henry out backstage and load him into an ambulance as revenge, leading to a match being made between the two at Payback for the WWE Championship - in an ambulance match.
Sheamus versus Kofi Kingston and John Laurinaitis: After an attack on Sheamus during his World Heavyweight Championship celebration on the September 17th episode of Raw, Sheamus would respond by attacking not only Kingston - but Laurinaitis as well - on the following episode of Smackdown. Kingston would invoke his rematch clause on the September 24th Raw and lose, leading to a fit being thrown and demanding another chance. The Celtic Warrior would respond by telling Kingston he'd give him another chance at Payback if John Laurinaitis was in the match as well. After some argument between the commissioner and 'his guy', Kingston would accept the challenge.
CM Punk versus Rob Van Dam: On the September 17th edition of Raw, Rob Van Dam would return to the show and defeat Jack Swagger. CM Punk would come out to the ramp afterward and express his displeasure of RVD's return, stating that after their match at Extreme Rules in 2011, he thought he had finally gotten rid of him - but apparently not. Punk would continue to run down RVD, leading to a challenge by 'The Whole Dam Show', only for Punk to decline and return to the back. In the following weeks, however, Punk would keep on pushing RVD with his words, eventually leading to an attack by Van Dam during Punk's match on the October 15th edition of Raw and a challenge to a match at Payback.
Dean Ambrose versus Cody Rhodes: Following the break down of the Mercenaries of Darkness at Money in the Bank, Dean Ambrose would step up and state that Cody was always the weak link of the group and it was time for a change in scenery. He would dub himself the sole mercenary of darkness to The Undertaker, which would provoke Rhodes enough to respond by stating he didn't care about being a part of the group anymore, all he wanted to do was take out Ambrose. The two would even cost each other their championships - Ambrose would cause Rhodes to lose the United States Championship on the October 1st edition of Raw to Alberto Del Rio and Rhodes would do the same in return to Ambrose with the Intercontinental Championship to The Miz on the following Smackdown. After a backstage brawl between the two on the October 8th episode of Raw, a match would be made at Payback between the two.
Bryan Danielson versus Damien Sandow: With Danielson winning the World Heavyweight Championship Money in the Bank briefcase, Damien Sandow would try and mend things between himself and his former tag team partner. Danielson would refuse, however, leading to Sandow stealing the briefcase away. Bryan would retaliate on the October 4th episode of Smackdown by beating Sandow up in the parking lot after he attempted to once again escape with the briefcase. Danielson then would tell Sandow if he wanted the briefcase so badly, he'd have to earn it at Payback.
Dolph Ziggler versus Chris Jericho versus Christian: The trio of superstars would be caught up in battles with each other in the weeks following Money in the Bank, ultimately leading to each of them getting a win over one another at least once. Each superstar would claim to be worthy of becoming the next number one contender for the World Heavyweight Championship, resulting in a triple threat match being set up at Payback with the winner getting a World Heavyweight title shot.
Randy Orton versus Ryback: After failing to get a win over Mark Henry in a Money in the Bank rematch, Ryback would begin going on a tirade of anger - explaining his actions to be because of his recent losing streak. In a match with Randy Orton on October 8th, The Viper would cheat to win by using the ropes in a pin. Ryback would respond by attacking Orton the following week after Orton's match, leading to a match being made for Payback between Orton and Ryback.
Beth Phoenix versus Kaitlyn vs Natalya: With Natalya accidentally costing her friend, Kaitlyn, the Diva's Championship at Money in the Bank, Natalya would try to make things better by facing Beth Phoenix on the October 1st edition of Raw. Natalya would actually manage to be victorious, which would put her in line for a shot at the belt. Kaitlyn would also request her rematch clause and a triple threat match for the belt would be made at Payback.
Edge: The Rated R Superstar and WWE Championship Money in the Bank holder initially would have a confrontation with Christian on the Monday Night Raw following Money in the Bank, only to suffer an injury to his knee while being thrown out of the ring by his former best friend and tag team partner. It would be announced Edge would miss up to a month of action.
Other: Big E Langston would make his debut on the October 15th episode of Raw by defeating Zack Ryder ... WWE Tag Team Champions, The Kings of Wrestling, would be one upped by The Usos over the weeks; However, the champions would retain their belts on the October 25th edition of Smackdown against the two ... Wade Barrett and Seth Rollins would both go on to target The Miz and the Intercontinental Championship upon him winning it, leading to a triple threat match on the October 22nd edition of Raw with Rollins getting the victory following a superkick to The Miz ... The Rock was announced to be making an appearance via satellite to make an announcement on the October 29th episode of Raw.

Cena's title reign could be in serious jeopardy because Henry is as dangerous as he's ever been ever since returning inducting superstars left and right into the Hall of Pain and here is hoping at Payback Mark Henry personally inducts Cena into the Hall of Pain putting John Cena on the shelf causing the WWE Championship to be vacated or you can't forget about Edge he could always cash in his briefcase on Cena, Edge did it once before he could do it again but if Henry is champion Edge could cash in on him Sheamus' title reign looks to be in jeopardy too because if Kofi or Big Johnny pin Sheamus then either one of them could be the champion, could you imagine Big Johnny as champion? God I shudder to think about that, it gives me the creeps just thinking about it but it could happen if Big Johnny pins Sheamus then Johnny would win the match and the title but if Kofi pins Sheamus he's the champion again but this will definitely add dissention between Kofi and Big Johnny for sure but is that what Sheamus was counting on? Now with CM Punk and RVD, there is history in this feud because of 2011, Extreme Rules 2011 with the I Quit Match and RVD losing the match saying I Quit and being forced to leave WWE at the hands of CM Punk but he's back now and this feud has seemingly gotten more personal, something has gotta give because Punk has been on a losing streak this calendar year of 2012 so if he loses steam here losing to RVD then you might as well turn Punk babyface, I mean it's the only way Punk will regain momentum Ambrose vs Rhodes, it seems Rhodes has turned babyface or he is in that transition of turning babyface, either scenario Rhodes will do better as a babyface anyway in my opinion because he's been needing this turn for a while now but with Ambrose as the sole Mercenary of Darkness for Taker it would make sense for Taker to appoint Ambrose as his future successor/protege who will end up becoming the new "Dead Man" of the WWE if you know what I mean Sandow vs Danielson, World Heavyweight Championship Money in the Bank Briefcase on the Line, I say Danielson retains his briefcase and Danielson will then cash it in on whoever the World Heavyweight Champion ends up being whether it's Kofi, Sheamus or even Big Johnny I hope to hell not Ziggler vs Jericho vs Christian Triple Threat World Heavyweight Championship #1 Contender's Match, I say Ziggler will win it, especially with Flair backing him, Ziggler will win this and end up facing either Sheamus, Kofi, or Big Johnny Orton vs Ryback, I say heel Orton will beat Ryback and maybe Orton will be the one who puts Ryback on the shelf punting Ryback in the skull because if he does that, what better way for Orton to reestablish himself as the top heel of this business, what bigger way to get heat then by taking out Ryback putting him on the shelf Beth Phoenix vs Natalya vs Kaitlyn Triple-Threat for the WWE Divas Championship, Beth will retain, I see her retaining seeing as how she just won the title not too long ago BUT WHERE IS MR. KENNEDY? I haven't seen Mr. Kennedy since The Great American Bash and here is hoping Kennedy makes his return soon BUT HERE IS HOPING YOU FINALLY FINALLY BRING IN BROCK LESNAR, I MEAN IT'S ABOUT TIME YOU HAVE THE BEAST RETURN TO WWE

| LIVE FROM THE PHILIPS ARENA IN ATLANTA, GA |
PRE-SHOW: Big E Langston defeated The Miz via pinfall.
A promo video begins with a voice over about the word 'payback'. The word has been used for a long time, for when a rivalry grows bitter, that word is used to describe what is desired each time another gets one up. The theme song, "Forget You" by Digital Summer, hits and the video begins to highlight the main feud of the night between Mark Henry and John Cena, with a match between the two resulting in a double count out and the World's Strongest Man responding by beating Cena down so badly he had to be taken out in an ambulance, resulting in Cena coming back two weeks later and doing the same in return by loading Henry into an ambulance - resulting in an ambulance match being made for the WWE Championship. The video highlights the other feuds fitting the theme of 'payback', with Sheamus looking to keep his World Heavyweight Championship against Kofi Kingston and Commissioner John Laurinaitis, CM Punk targeting Rob Van Dam upon his return to the WWE, Damien Sandow going after the Money in the Bank briefcase from his former tag team partner Bryan Danielson and Dean Ambrose turning on Cody Rhodes and proclaiming himself the sole mercenary of darkness. The video concludes with multiple superstars saying the name of the pay-per-view: Payback.
The cameras pan live into the Philips Arena, the pyros clicking across the stage and finishing off with a boom. Michael Cole welcomes everybody to the show, alongside Josh Mathews and Jerry 'The King' Lawler! They discuss how tonight there will be an ambulance match with the WWE Championship on the line, and many matches with the sole purpose being payback, with many of contests having a lot on the line aside from just that. The crew continue to hype up tonight's card, each giving their input - especially on the WWE Championship match.World Heavyweight Championship Money in the Bank Briefcase Damien Sandow vs Bryan Danielson(c)The bell sounds and the duo move around the ring slowly before coming to the middle, locking up with each other. Danielson ducks under the arm and wraps his around the waist of Sandow, rushing into the corner and slamming his former partner chest first into the turnbuckles. He spins Damien around and fires off with a series of kicks to the chest repeatedly, finally pulling back at the command of the referee. Sandow holds onto his chest and tugs the referee towards him, saying something to him. Danielson spins around and throws his arms out, Sandow jumping at the opportunity and striking Bryan across the back. He sends a ton of stomps across the neck and spine and drags Bryan up once again, pushing him off of the ropes and hitting a sidewalk slam on the return. Sandow hooks both legs up and only gets a count of two. He spins off of Bryan and throws an elbow in the face, digging away for a few moments before getting back up. He stares out to the crowd and they boo him, Sandow throwing his hand out and returning to his opponent. He drags Danielson back up and hits a couple of uppercuts before rocking him against the corner. Sandow takes his arm and goes for a pull-out clothesline, only to have Bryan duck down and roll through to the mat, applying an armbar! Sandow begins to struggle immediately and gets his feet to the ropes, Bryan letting go. Both men get back up and Mr. Money in the Bank ducks another clothesline, this time applying a sleeper hold and bringing it to the mat, turning it into a rear naked choke. Sandow reaches his hands out in a struggle, trying to find his way out. He begins to fade a little bit but manages to swing himself onto one knee, getting onto his feet and backing Danielson into the corner back first. Sandow stumbles forward and catches his breath before turning back to Bryan, catching him with a snap DDT right in the middle of the ring. He hooks both legs up but once again gets just a count of two. Sandow slowly stirs back up and walks around Danielson's body, hitting a huge knee drop on the head! He drags him up once again and nails a huge Russian leg sweep. He swings back up onto his feet and taunts over the body, giving a huge smile. He drags Bryan up once more and prepares for the Terminus only for Danielson to escape and trip his opponent to the mat, mount on top and pound away with strikes to the skull. Both men get back up and hit off of the ropes, returning with a clothesline each! Both men remain laid out on the mat and the official begins his count, getting up to seven before they both rise. Sandow goes for a dropkick but Bryan catches the legs and trips him down to the mat, rolling through and going for a bridged pin - getting just a count of two. They both get up once again and Danielson throws a series of kicks to the ankles and knees and then one big one to the ribs. He backs off slowly and swings for a kick to the back of the head, Sandow ducking under it and lifting Danielson up off of the mat on his shoulders. He steps forward as the crowd tries to will Danielson on, Sandow slamming him down with an electric chair. He gets up once again, applying a Boston crab to the left leg. He wrenches away at the leg and Bryan begins to reach out towards the ropes, finally managing to claw his way to them. Sandow lets go and storms around in frustration, kicking away at the ropes and yelling at the referee. He storms back up to Bryan and drags him up by the hair, hitting another side slam. He rises up once again, standing over Danielson's head. He waves his hands about and delivers the Elbow of Disdain! Sandow gets up once more and takes his rival up once again by the beard and hair and prepares for the Terminus once again, Danielson managing to slip free at the last second and nail a huge kick to the back of the head! He drops to the mat and quickly applies the Yes Lock to Sandow, the crowd going nuts to the hold! Sandow swings his hands about and tries to pry Bryan's fists away, but can't. He gives one last reach before tapping out.Winner of the match via submission, Bryan Danielson (10:12) ***1/2Bryan staggers back up onto his feet and raises his fists in the air, pointing up to the sky and chanting 'Yes!' along with the crowd. He gets onto the turnbuckle in the corner and continues to chant along with the crowd. He jumps down slowly and marches across the ring, the official handing him his Money in the Bank briefcase. Sandow slowly rolls out of the ring and sits down at the bottom of the stage, holding his face in his hands in frustration. He gets onto his feet and stares right at Danielson, shouting 'No!' at the top of his lungs. The crowd immediately responds, along with Bryan, with a resounding 'Yes!', leading to a huge battle of just two different words between Sandow and the WWE Universe, leading to Sandow storming off to the back with the fans still chanting 'Yes!' as he leaves. The cameras pan backstage to Matt Striker, and he introduces his guest at this time to be Dean Ambrose. He thanks Ambrose for his time and asks what his thoughts are on Cody Rhodes and all that has transpired over the past month. Ambrose breaths heavily, stares at Striker and takes the microphone away. "My thoughts? My thoughts!? If I let you wander into my mind, Matthew, I wouldn't be as dangerous as I am!" Ambrose wipes his hand through his hair and licks his lips, "If I let ANYONE! And I mean anyone... knew what I was thinking then I wouldn't have been the Intercontinental Champion, I wouldn't have been hand selected by The Undertaker to be his right hand man and sneak around here plotting each and every week... along with Cody Rhodes." He laughs and licks his lips once again, backing Matt up against the wall of the set, "All you need to know is that I am the sole mercenary of darkness and Cody Rhodes is nothing..." He shoves the microphone into Striker's chest and leaves. Singles MatchRyback vs Randy OrtonThe bell rings and Ryback charges right at Orton, backing him into the corner and missing a shot and hitting the turnbuckle. Orton fires off across the back and neck, slamming Ryback's face down into the padding. He hits a couple of kicks to the stomach and tosses a few elbows out, Ryback shoving him forward. Orton comes right back and Ryback takes him by the throat, tossing him right over the ropes and to the floor. The beast swings his arms out and shouts out to the crowd. He steps out of the ring and throws The Viper head first into the base of the announce table. He brings Orton up once again and throws him up against the ring, charging right at him and hitting a huge clothesline to squash him between the ring and Ryback himself. A chant of 'Feed Me More!' breaks out as Ryback throws Orton back in, following him and getting rightb ack up. He lets the Viper rise and hits him with a series of strikes to the head. He whips Orton off the ropes and catches his body, hitting a huge spinning slam. He goes for the pinfall but Orton manages to kick out. Both men slowly stir back up and come towards each other, trading punches back and forth. Orton ducks under one, however, and hits a huge dropkick that sends Ryback into the corner. Randy moves towards him quickly and rolls him up from the corner and places his feet on the ropes, getting just a count of two. Orton mounts right on top of Ryback before he gets up and pounds his fists right across the back of the head. The official gets to a count of four and Orton gets up, sending a kick across the neck to get a last second shot in. Ryback crawls to the ropes and gets back up, Orton charging full force and clotheslining Ryback - knocking him off his feet slightly. He backs off and goes for another clothesline, Ryback still managing to stay up. Orton then jumps up high and goes for a dropkick, Ryback managing to avoid it. Orton staggers back up and is met with a hard clothesline. Ryback turns his head about and begins to get fired up, hitting another clothesline. Orton stirs up once again and is hit with a hard powerslam. Ryback storms over to the ropes and shakes them a bit, giving a shout. He spreads his arms out far and throws them across his chest, shouting to the crowd "Finish! Him!" Ryback proceeds to take Orton back up with the crowd behind him and he prepares to go for Shell Shocked, stomping around the ring only to have Orton slip free and drop to the mat. Ryback stumbles a bit and turns around angrily, Orton jumping up and nailing the RKO! The Atlanta crowd bursts into boos as The Viper hooks the far leg for a three count.Winner of the match via pinfall, Randy Orton (7:13) **3/4
The crowd continues to boo as Orton slowly stirs back up onto his feet, leaning against the ropes. He pumps both is fists into the air and has his arm raised by the referee. He pulls away quickly and storms around Ryback's body, slowly pulling it back up. He holds Ryback by the chin and says some things to him, Ryback suddenly breaking out of the grip! He ducks under a punch and knees Orton right in the stomach and lands him with the Shell Shocked right in the middle of the ring! The crowd changes their reaction and bursts out into cheers, Ryback stomping around the ring and pumping his arms up and down, chanting along with the crowd "Feed! Me! More!" He exits the ring and begins to back up the ramp, still fired up with the crowd despite yet another loss. A promo video proceeds to air, highlighting the history of the classic Survivor Series match. A voice over speaks of how for over twenty years, teams have been pitted against each other with some of the strongest alliances ever. Some of the strong forces are reviewed, and the video flashes forward to highlights into the likes of John Cena, Mark Henry, Sheamus, Kofi Kingston and more. The voice over says that this year is no different, where survival is necessary to make it through. Survivor Series takes place on November 18 in Indianapolis! The cameras return to ringside where Jerry Lawler, Michael Cole and Josh Mathews talk about the upcoming match between Dolph Ziggler, Christian and Chris Jericho. They go over the recent weeks leading up to the match, where each man managed to get the upper hand on one of the others at least once. Tonight, after weeks of trying to prove they are worthy of becoming the number one contender, the match was made between the three with the winner getting to become the number one contender for the World Heavyweight Championship! Triple Threat Match for #1 Contendership to the World Heavyweight ChampionshipDolph Ziggler with Ric Flair vs Christian vs Chris JerichoThe bell tolls and all three men stand apart from each other. They look around a bit and charge to the middle, sending blows to each other left and right. Jericho shoves Christian down onto the mat and turns his attention to Ziggler, firing off at his head. He backs him off into the corner and stomps away at the stomach and is attacked from behind by Christian, being clubbed across the back. Christian tosses Jericho shoulder first into the steel post and he backs off slowly, turning back to Ziggler and stomping away at him across the back. He brings Dolph back to his feet and hits a couple of chops across the chest, backing him against the ropes. He takes a hold of the legs and lifts Ziggler up off the mat, dropping him neck first across the ropes. He goes for the Killswitch but Dolph manages to shove him forward, Jericho catching Christian by the head and throwing him right through the ropes and to the floor! Ziggler charges up from behind and nails the Zig Zag! He hooks both legs up quickly but Jericho manages to kick out just barely. Ziggler brings his former rival up into a sitting position and throws a set of elbows to the neck. He forces Y2J back up and hits a couple of kicks to the knees and throws a huge clothesline. He turns around to see Christian and is hit with a huge dropkick! Christian gets back up and charges right over to Dolph and stomps away at him and gets him up in the corner, hitting a few strikes in the head. He takes a hold of the neck and tights and backs up slowly and then charges full force to the corner, tossing him shoulder first into the steel post. Y2J comes up from behind and clotheslines Christian over the top rope from behind. He grabs a hold of the ropes and launches over them, taking Christian out onto the floor. He pounds away on the head with punches and brings him back up, tossing him head first into the steel steps. Ziggler steps out to the apron and charges right at Jericho, jumping onto the shoulders only to be dropped right onto the hard floor with a powerbomb! Jericho turns him right over for the Walls of Jericho, wrenching away like crazy. He pulls free at the sight of Christian getting up and tosses him up against the barricade, driving punch after punch to the head. He whips him off to the steel steps and Christian hops onto the top one, leaning against the steel post. He turns around and Jericho jumps up at him, throwing him back first into the post. Jericho proceeds to clothesline Christian over the ropes and into the ring. He goes onto the top turnbuckle and measures up, Ziggler hopping up onto the apron suddenly and tripping him up, Y2J collapsing down onto the mat in the corner. Dolph gets into the ring and storms up to Christian, hitting a hard neckbreaker. He goes for a pinfall but gets just a count of two, and he gets up once again. He drags Christian gets up and pushes him off the ropes, ducking a shot and going for the Zig Zag only for Christian to pull out of the hold. He then delivers a huge mule kick into the cheek of Christian. He storms over to Jericho getting up in the corner and clotheslines him right into the corner! He looks to Ric Flair and motions for something, the Nature Boy retrieving him a steel chair and handing it right over. Ziggler raises it up high and goes back over to Christian, swinging it only to be hit in the gut right before it is brought down. Christian gets back up and dropkicks Dolph into the corner, knocking him face first against the top turnbuckle. As Christian steps to the middle of the ring, the crowd begins to roar as Edge makes his way through the crowd and over the barricade, charging into the ring! He motions his hand up from behind and charges full force at Christian upon the turnaround and nails a huge spear! He gets back up onto his feet and wipes his hands through his hair, taunting to the crowd. He looks around and hops out of the ring, backing up the ramp slowly. Ziggler steps up to the middle of the ring to Jericho from behind and nails him with the Zig Zag! He hooks both legs up and gets the pinfall.Winner of the match via pinfall, Dolph Ziggler (11:25) ***1/2
Ziggler swings himself up onto his knees and throws his arms out, yelling out to the crowd. Ric Flair brings himself up onto the apron and into the ring, joining Dolph. The crowd boos away at him and Ziggler stirs back to his feet, running to the corner and climbing up the turnbuckles. Replays air of Edge making his return after about a month and spearing Christian, with the commentary unit taking time to talk about it. They then begin to discuss Ziggler being victorious, and now he will get the opportunity to face the World Heavyweight Champion! Ziggler and Flair continue their celebration in the middle of the ring as Jericho slowly rolls out of the ring, sitting against the barricade in disappointment of his loss. A promo video proceeds to air starting with Dean Ambrose and Cody Rhodes having their alliance along with The Undertaker as the Mercenaries of Darkness. The video comes to after Summerslam, with the two vowing to get the WWE Championship back to their leader.

Punk stares at Striker and shakes his head, "Why the hell did Rob Van Dam have to come back to the WWE when I took him out, Matt? That is the question you should be asking Rob Van Dam before I destroy him once again... not why am I targeting him?" He stares at Striker before continuing, "But since you asked me that stupid question I'll answer it anyway. RVD decided he would come back to MY company, step into MY ring and try and take away MY glory. I don't take lightly to people walking around here thinking that I am any better than me when I am the best in the world and clearly that is what stupid little Rob Van Dam thinks by coming back here and costing me Money in the Bank last month and trying to show me up. Tonight I'm going to take Rob Van Dam back to May 2011 and make sure he doesn't show his face here again." Punk storms off, clearly unhappy with the presence of RVD in the WWE.

He begins to catch his breath and turns around to RVD leaping over the top rope and right on top of Punk! He hops back up onto his feet and raises both fists in the air with a smile, moving around in a circle fired up along with the crowd. He drags Punk back onto his feet and tosses his face off of the apron and then back into the ring. He hops onto the apron himself and climbs to the top turnbuckle, preparing for the Five Star Frog Splash, diving off only for Punk to swing both knees up! RVD flops to the middle of the ring and begins to stagger back up, Punk storming forward and deliver the Go To Sleep!

He goes off and delivers the Rolling Thunder, Punk getting back up and going for a quick kick to the back of the head, Rob ducking underneath it. He leaps off the turnbuckle and hits a kick to the jaw. He then leaps onto the second turnbuckle once again and leaps into the air, going for a moonsault only for Punk to catch him on his shoulders. He pushes him off for the Go To Sleep once again, RVD managing to land straight up on his feet, hitting a huge spinning kick to the cheek! He looks around the arena to the crowd willing him on and he moves to the corner, leaping onto the top turnbuckle. He stands up and raises his thumbs up, bringing his thumbs down three times to will the crowd with his name and he dives off for the Five Star Frog Splash, connecting perfectly! Van Dam holds onto his gut as he rolls around a bit before crawling back to Punk, hooking both legs up for the three count!
Winner of the match via pinfall, Rob Van Dam (12:39) ****
The crowd bursts into cheers as RVD hops up onto his feet, pumping his fists in the air. The official keeps his hand up and Rob brings it down to hold onto his stomach with a smile. He backs off to the ropes and steps out slowly, standing at the apron and pumping his thumbs trice more times, the crowd responding as expected. The replay is shown of the finish of the match and the air time Van Dam managed to get. Back live in the Philips Arena, Rob stands atop the ramp victorious and makes his way to the back. Punk gets onto his knees in the ring and looks around in disbelief. He pounds his hands down to the mat and gets back onto his feet, stomping around the ring and kicking at the ropes. He pulls his head back and breaths heavily, yelling in frustration. He steps out of the ring and storms over to the steel steps, kicking them with authority. He moves his way up the ramp, still obviously angered.

Payback Review
Big E. Langston beating The Miz in the pre-show match just goes to show us that Big E. is destined for greatness, I mean the man just beat Miz who is a future WWE Hall of Famer former WWE and World Heavyweight Champion former Money in the Bank Ladder Match winner former IC and US Champion former Tag Team Champion you name it, Miz has pretty much done it all in his young career except win a Royal Rumble Match but nevertheless Big E. after beating Miz he definitely needs to be in a high-profile feud and soon
Danielson is still Mr. Money in the Bank beating his former tag team partner now bitter rival Sandow to retain his World Heavyweight Championship Money in the Bank briefcase, it is only a matter of time before Danielson cashes in his briefcase to become the World Heavyweight Champion once again and Danielson will either cash in in the weeks leading up to Survivor Series or he will cash in at Survivor Series, it is almost as simple as that but as for Sandow I wonder what is next for him?
Randy Orton's heel turn seems to be coming by nicely, Orton is starting to come into his own again as a heel and it showed especially beating Ryback who has been on the end of a huge losing streak as of late but Orton beating him just proves that Orton should get a World Heavyweight Championship or WWE Championship match in the future but Orton I thought he was going to punt Ryback's head right off right after the match was over but Ryback turning the tables hitting a Shell Shocked on Orton, it just shows that Orton and Ryback's rivalry is probably far from over and if that is the case I want to see these 2 go at it again
Survivor Series promo, I can't wait until Survivor Series is finally here
Now for the World Heavyweight Championship Triple Threat #1 Contender's Match between Ziggler w/Flair, Christian, and Jericho, now if anything this here has got to be one of your best by far but at the same time this is not fair to Christian, Christian had the match won until Edge had to return sticking his nose where it didn't belong costing Christian the match when Christian was well on his way to victory and he could have become #1 Contender but no Edge wasn't having that and why? Because he's jealous of Christian plain and simple always has been always will be but that's not even the point the real point here is that Dolph Ziggler now he deserves to be #1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Championship and now that he is, only a matter of time before we look at our next World Heavyweight Champion and especially with Flair in his corner Ziggler will for sure get it done
Now Dean Ambrose his interview with Striker backstage now that was scary even I have to admit
Dean Ambrose beating Cody Rhodes and especially in the way he did it, that was one hell of a brutal match, it can't even be called a match this was a war plain and simple all be it Rhodes won by DQ he may have won the battle but the war is far from over and Ambrose with that level of brutality that he showed Rhodes during their match it just shows that The Undertaker found himself a real gem, a real protege who is worthy of following in his footsteps
Seeing the World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus and the WWE Champion John Cena backstage wishing each other luck for their respective matches, pure sign of respect between those 2 men but at the same time one of these days one of them if not both of them will end up losing their titles
Sheamus retaining his World Heavyweight Championship once again this time beating Kofi yet again but this time beating Big Johnny in the process, this is great because it takes Kofi out of the World Title picture at least for the time being and Kofi could move on to bigger and better things like maybe having more high-profile feuds but I wonder what Big Johnny is going to do to try to get the title off of Sheamus? Because since Sheamus retained his World Heavyweight Championship he is going to have to face Dolph Ziggler for the World Heavyweight Championship at some point in the future perhaps at Survivor Series
RVD getting his retribution on Punk beating Punk, at least RVD got his much-needed payback for Punk taking him out in 2011, Punk did have it coming to him but at the same time Punk has been on quite the losing streak this calendar year of 2012 losing at almost every major pay per view and it is October now but I wonder what Punk is going to do to get back on the winning side of things? Perhaps since Punk has turned heel he has been on a downward spiral and perhaps the way to get Punk back on top is if he becomes a babyface once again and gets back to his winning ways but as for Punk it is better if he were to go away for a while, take a much needed break away from WWE and come back in a few months better than ever before and if Punk quits now in October you could build up towards CM Punk's return by having him return in either January at the 2013 Royal Rumble pay per view or have Punk return in February at No Way Out instead
Beth Phoenix still the WWE Divas Champion, I obviously knew that she was going to retain I mean it was too good to be true almost but at the same time I really love that you are building up tension between Natalya and Kaitlyn, it is only a matter of time before Kaitlyn turns heel on Natalya and why I say that? Is because of the fact that Natalya has cost Kaitlyn the title more than once and she claims they were accidents but I don't believe in accidents because I think Natalya did it on purpose
And Cena if anything he barely beat Mark Henry in the main event for the WWE Championship in that Ambulance Match and if anything Cena got lucky because Henry dominated Cena practically the majority of the match but somehow Cena finds yet another way to win but one of these days Cena's luck is bound to run out as champion because let's not forget Edge still has his WWE Championship Money in the Bank briefcase that he could cash in on John Cena and Edge has cashed in on Cena before in the past to win his first WWE Championship so Edge could very well do it again, and let's not forget about The Undertaker who I am sure has a huge score to settle with Cena after their Hell in a Cell match at SummerSlam
Speaking of where is The Dead Man, he hasn't been seen since SummerSlam and that was August and it's October now, perhaps Taker will make his presence felt at Survivor Series or at Tables, Ladders and Chairs in December

As for Survivor Series, here is hoping we have Traditional Survivor Series Five On Five Elimination Tag Team Matches, maybe we even get to see superstars returning such as Kane, Mr. Kennedy among others
But maybe we even get to see debuts too from The Wyatt Family
Or we get to see a new stable being formed or perhaps a reformation of one
But I wonder if we will finally have Brock Lesnar make his long-awaited return to WWE? I mean it is about time and 2012 is practically almost over and we are into 2013 here and still no Lesnar and Heyman
But here is hoping The Rock returns tomorrow night on RAW and if he does, I wonder what Rock will say or do since he is returning on October 29th which is tomorrow night on RAW here and we haven't seen Rock since SummerSlam since he beat Punk, so I wonder if you are building up towards Rock's next match and if you are then I say Rock should have his next match at WrestleMania 29 considering Rock is a movie star and he has movies to do, movies to promote

Solid pre-show match, looks like the beginning of a good push for Langston. If only he wore a longer singlet. I really like how you described the opening video package, talking about the word Payback. It's a nice touch. I liked the team of Sandow & Bryan and was actually hoping Sandow would win because I'd like to see Bryan win a title without the help of the briefcase. Regardless, good contest. The post match stuff was funny too. Not sure how the chemistry would be between Orton & Ryback but it sounded like a fun little match. I laughed at how the graphic for the Triple Threat match has all three guys leaning in the same direction. Anyway, great match and Ziggler winning was the best decision. Like the idea of a feud between Ambrose & Rhodes, but I wish the Mercenaries of Darkness lasted longer. Anyway, DQ win was a good way to go so this can continue. Solid handicap match and as I said before, one of the things I really like here is Kingston as a heel. Fun and different. RVD/Punk is a feud that Punk is built for, like his rivalry with Jeff Hardy. Surprised to see RVD win, but not a bad call. Solid Divas Title match, glad Beth retained. Never been a huge fan of the Ambulance match, but this one was pretty good. Cena winning was obvious but I'd actually like to see Henry take the belt from him. Overall, another solid PPV.

WWE Payback: Sunday 28th October 2012...RIP Hell in a Cell. Boo. Big E Langston with a win against the Miz was interesting. I anticipate big things for Big E. He has a lot of potential. Onto the show, a solid opening contest with Bryan Danielson putting his Money in the Bank briefcase on the line against Damien Sandow, as former partners exploded in this decent opening match. Good win for Danielson in a solid showing, as Sandow held his own. My complaint is probably the fact that it went a little short, maybe. A little bit of an anticlimactic open to the show. But it still went alright, I thought. I guess the aftermath was a nice little touch, but I'd have maybe gone without it. Randy Orton defeating Ryback was a fine match-up, but again, maybe a little too short. Also, not too interesting. I'd have put something in between Sandow vs Bryan and this match, because the crowd would have been a tad too hot from the opening contest. Orton with the win was cool and all, but yeah, maybe five minutes too short at least. Ryback soon fighting off Orton's post-match trash talking was a nice little touch, though. Hmm, not sure about the video package dedicated to the Survivor Series matches, but fair, an advertisement for Survivor Series was cool; could have been more dramatic though, perhaps. A decent triple threat match up next, with Dolph Ziggler, Christian and Chris Jericho going at it. I can imagine that Christian and Y2J have been in tons of triple threat matches together. I predict that a heel will win this one...which he did. Ziggler getting the win was good, a fine move. I would like to see Ziggler win the World Heavyweight Championship at Survivor Series, but I can't see it. I anticipate now that Sheamus will be retaining the title later tonight. I would like to see Ric Flair break away from Ziggler, as Ziggler needs some solo spotlight time, I think personally. I liked Edge getting the victory, but Ziggler needs some credible momentum of his own; he can't be just a chickensh*t champion. Next up, a fierce exchange between Dean Ambrose and Cody Rhodes again, in a match that should have gone on longer. So many short matches tonight; a match like this needed some more time, more time to build a story around the screwy disqualification finish. I expect to see a continuation gimmick match to climax the feud, potentially at Survivor Series. Violent aftermath. At this time, it seems to me like we are seeing Payback being used as a filler pay-per-view for Survivor Series, which isn't a good sign for this show. Next, a solid World Heavyweight Championship handicap match, which Sheamus was obviously going to win. This, is a glorified TV rematch for the title. There was no way that Sheamus was losing to Kofi Kingston, nor John Laurinaitis. So we have Ziggler challenging Sheamus for the World Heavyweight Championship prepared for Survivor Series. Next up, a solid match between Rob Van Dam and CM Punk, in another hard-hitting outing. One thing though: TOO SHORT. I'm not sure whatsoever why all of the matches are so short, honestly. Three hour pay-per-view = RAW-lengthed matches? Weird. Van Dam getting the win against CM Punk. I hope that this isn't it for their rivalry. Up next, Beth Phoenix retaining the WWE Divas Championship against Natalya and Kaitlyn is fine, not a lot to add. Kaitlyn then having some words for her mentor Natalya was cool, perhaps citing a heel turn for Kaitlyn, which would be pleasantly refreshing. And finally, we have the Ambulance match between John Cena and Mark Henry, citing Cena's past two real life feuds in real life, with Ryback and then Henry. Not a bad match-up, but not at all surprised that Cena retained the WWE Championship. Overall, this was a pretty solid show. It had some very strange booking in terms of ordering and in match lengths, and it did visibly resemble a B-pay-per-view that was used to promote for Survivor Series next month, but it was fine apart from all of those flaws.

PRO WRESTLING > WWE > THE ROCK IS BACK - BUT WHAT FOR?...10/29/12
THE ROCK IS BACK - BUT WHAT FOR? BY A.J. MATHEWS It has been known for a few weeks now that Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson was going to be making an appearance on the October 29th edition of Monday Night Raw via satellite. What he is actually back for, however, is unknown. Could he be making another challenge for CM Punk at Survivor Series? Or issuing a challenge to John Cena that we've all been desiring? Or maybe he is just going to be promoting some new movie or something. Who really knows? Well, that is what this article's purpose is - to analyze all the possibilities that have been tossed around.
1. THE ROCK CHALLENGES CM PUNK TO ANOTHER MATCH After his victory at Summerslam in his second-homeland of Los Angeles over CM Punk, The Rock disappeared. It didn't come as a surprise, as he was really only around making appearances for the sole purpose of that match. However, Punk continued to trash talk The Rock over the weeks following before finally moving on to Rob Van Dam following his return at Money in the Bank. With 'Mr. Monday Night' being the focus of Punk and defeating him at Payback, it doesn't seem to make much sense for Rock to jump in and challenge Punk to a rematch. Not now, anyway. Chances of happening? 1%.
2. THE ROCK CHALLENGES JOHN CENA FOR THE WWE TITLE Now, let us all take our deep breath before we get into this. Let's think about it for a minute... the biggest pay-per-views in the WWE each year are WrestleMania, Royal Rumble, Summerslam and (as most would say) then Survivor Series. I happen to be a huge fan of Survivor Series, but I have to agree that out of the 'big four events' each year, it is the least valued. Which brings me to the belief that The Rock challenging John Cena to a match for the WWE Championship at Survivor Series seems out of left field, especially with Mark Henry still around. Is it possible? Yeah, of course. Is it likely, though? I don't think so. Chances of happening? 4%.
3. FINALLY... TO PROMOTE MERCHANDISE AND/OR MOVIE? The Rock is a big time movie star and we all know that. He also has been selling a ton of merchendise this year - near the tops of the WWE. Perhaps The Rock is around to do what he has done just about every single time he has appeared on WWE television since his full-time departure nine years ago, and just promote himself in a movie and try and sell his stuff. If you think about it, there is a lot of logic to it sales wise for both himself and the WWE, but will ultimately be a disappointment for tons of WWE fans who are expecting something involved with actually getting back to the ring. Chances of happening? 20%.
4. THE ROCK ANNOUNCES AN ACTUAL RETURN DATE This is the first appearance by The Rock in the WWE since Summerslam, and it has been promoted a lot by the WWE. If they were to give just a little bit of promotion with not much behind it, the previous three that seem less likely of happening would increase. However, there has been indeed a lot of promotion for this. If you have gone to WWE.com or their Twitter account over the past few weeks, it is everywhere. So with that being all added up, perhaps The Rock is back to announce the time he actually will return or make an official challenge to somebody - who it would be, I couldn't tell you, as Punk and Cena are the biggest stars in the WWE right now and as stated earlier, I dismiss both of them being opponents in the near future. Chances of happening? 25%.
5. OR, YOU KNOW, JUST BECAUSE HE IS THE ROCK Of course, however, we have to remember this is the WWE and they love to do things just for the sake of doing them. We saw The Rock make an appearance in WrestleMania season back in 2007 via satellite to predict Bobby Lashley defeating Umaga (Wow, that seems like forever ago - doesn't it?) at WrestleMania 23. There was really no purpose for that and in other instances, the WWE has had legends appear with really know reason than just to have them there for the sake of pleasing the fans (really, ratings boosters). With The Rock being such a huge star in the WWE and in the film world, maybe we could just have The Rock showing up just because of who he is and there isn't a true motive behind it. Unfortunately, I see this being most likely. Chances of happening? 50%.

I see Rock coming back in the #2 or #3 scenario with Rock coming back to announce his return date and that on his return date he will probably get a WWE Championship match at whichever date that is, with the #2 and #3 scenarios playing out

So I missed Money in the Bank. Who gives a s***?
Not a bad opening contest for Payback with the Money in the Bank briefcase on the line. Bryan Danielson retaining was the obvious call. I do wonder when he'll cash in and, presumably, become the World Heavyweight Champion. Randy Orton versus Ryback seems like a pretty big match up, so I'm definitely surprised to see it go on second. Orton getting the victory is fine, but I think I would have rather seen Ryback go over here. Between this and his losses to both Mark Henry and Kofi Kingston, he's in quite the slump. At least he gets to stand tall, I guess. Up next, a talent-packed Triple Threat match. Dolph Ziggler getting the win was cool, though I don't expect him to take the title from Sheamus at this point. The implosion of the Mercenaries of Darkness, I see. Hopefully you portray Cody Rhodes as a face more properly than the WWE has as of late. Onto the match itself, Rhodes winning via DQ was fine to keep both men strong. A viscous assault on Ambrose's part following the match. The Handicap match for the World Heavyweight Champions was a fun idea. I had something similar planned once in my diary for Barrett, Ziggler and Laurinaitis. But enough about me, even though I am the superior writer. The Brogue Kick to Laurinaitis was the best way to go for the finish. Now we move onto Sheamus vs. Ziggler at Survivor Series, I assume. I just wonder what's next for Kofi. I don't expect him to succeed greatly as a heel without the gold. Rob Van Dam then getting a victory over CM Punk is a bit saddening to me. I understand why Van Dam went over here, but seeing as how Punk is just coming off of rivalries against Steve Austin and the Rock, this seems like a step down for him, regardless of Van Dam's name value. A solid Triple Threat match for the Divas Championship, one that I definitely enjoyed. Beth Phoenix retaining was fine, and I look forward to seeing what is next in the title picture. Lastly, a great Ambulance match for the WWE Championship. John Cena retaining caught me by surprise a tad bit. I thought with the Ambulance stipulation, this would have been a good time for Henry to win the title. Hopefully a reign is in store for him somewhere down the line. A good Payback PPV overall. Looking forward to seeing what you have lined up for Survivor Series.

OCTOBER 29 - NOVEMBER 17 REVIEW
John Cena versus Mark Henry: Following the Ambulance Match victory at Payback, John Cena appeared on Monday Night Raw the following night stating it was time for him to find his next challenger. Mark Henry, however, would come out and tell Cena that him winning the night before was a fluke. He reminded Cena how he dominated most of the match and should of walked out the WWE Champion. Cena responded by telling Henry that the fact remains he didn't walk out champion, and the champ is still here. Henry would then make the challenge for a rematch at Survivor Series, with Cena accepting and showing off his confidence by allowing Henry to choose the stipulation. After Cena's match later on, Henry would strike and put him through the announce table before announcing the match at Survivor Series would be a Last Man Standing match.
Team Edge versus Team Christian: Following Edge's return from his month-long injury absence at Payback to cost Christian the number one contenders match, Christian would respond by returning the favor the following night with an attack on The Rated R Superstar. Interim Commissioner William Regal would announce on the November 5th edition of Raw a five-on-five classic Survivor Series match between captains Edge and Christian. The two would pair rivals up against in each other on their teams with Edge having himself, Rob Van Dam, Ryback, Chris Jericho and The Miz up against Christian's team of himself, CM Punk, Randy Orton, Kofi Kingston and Seth Rollins.
Sheamus versus Dolph Ziggler: After becoming the number one contender, Dolph Ziggler would cut a promo about becoming the new World Heavyweight Champion on the October 29th edition of Raw. After Sheamus responded and embarrassed Ziggler, he would be hit with the Zig Zag right in the middle of the ring. In the following weeks, Ziggler would continue to get one up on The Celtic Warrior. On the November 12th episode of Raw, however, Sheamus would get his revenge and Brogue Kick Ric Flair, leaving him unavailable for Survivor Series.
Team Danielson versus Team Sandow: Damien Sandow would claim himself the rightful owner of the Money in the Bank briefcase on the Raw following Payback, with Bryan Danielson responding by stating he made him tap out and he would make him tap out any other time again. After a rematch on the November 1st episode of Smackdown and Sandow being victorious with a roll up with the tights, Danielson would demand another match from William Regal. The Interim Commissioner would grant him one on Raw, and after Sandow got himself counted out, a five-on-five classic Survivor Series match would be made. Danielson would announce the following week his team to be himself, Rey Mysterio, Sin Cara, John Morrison and Evan Bourne. Sandow would announce his team in return, claiming them as 'Team Most Intellectually and Physically Gifted Phenomenon Five Man Team in the History of Professional Wrestling and Sports Entertainment', featuring himself, Wade Barrett, Jack Swagger, Alberto Del Rio and Big E Langston.
Kings of Wrestling versus The Usos: With The Kings of Wresling having the upper hand over The Usos over the previous couple of months, Jimmy and Jules managed to get the upper hand on Ohno and Cesaro by picking up a couple of wins in the couple of weeks leading up to Survivor Series, leading to William Regal granting them a title shot at the event.
Team Kaitlyn vs Team Beth: With Kaitlyn and Natalya still dealing with friction, Beth Phoenix would take advantage in separate matches with the two in the following weeks after Payback. A diva's Survivor Series match would be announced on WWE.com three days before Survivor Series with Kaitlyn being a captain of the team of herself, Natalya, Kelly Kelly, Layla and Aksana up against Beth Phoenix's team featuring herself, Nikki Bella, Brie Bella, Eve and Maryse.
Dean Ambrose versus Cody Rhodes: With Rhodes getting a disqualification victory at Payback and being beaten down viciously, he would attack Ambrose the following night and lay a beating down on him in response to what had happened at Payback. Ambrose would manage to get one up once again by laying down an even more vicious attack on the following episode of Smackdown. With Rhodes being frustrated with the rivalry, he would issue the challenge himself to Ambrose at Survivor Series, but in a no disqualifications match.
Other: Mr. McMahon would go on to name William Regal as the interim commissioner in the absence of John Laurinaitis following his unannounced departure following his loss to Sheamus at Payback ... The Rock would make his scheduled appearance via satellite on the October 29th edition of Raw and announce that he would be participating in the Royal Rumble match.

Henry vs Cena Last Man Standing at Survivor Series for the WWE Championship, I just hope Henry inducts Cena into the Hall of Pain because Cena got lucky at Payback and just barely beat Henry in the Ambulance Match and Henry if anything should have went over Cena but in any event who will be the last man standing at Survivor Series? Cena has been champion since August since SummerSlam and has only been champion for less than 4 months but Henry has been on a tear since his return and even though he came up short at Payback I think his time will come at Survivor Series
Team Edge vs Team Christian, Team Christian has quite the team having Christian, Orton, Punk, Kofi and Rollins that is quite the all star team if you ask me but then again Edge's team is a team of no slouches having Edge, Miz, Ryback, RVD, and Jericho but I still think Team Christian will win at Survivor Series with the sole survivors being Christian, Orton and Rollins
Sheamus vs Ziggler for the World Heavyweight Championship, I still see Sheamus retaining the title somehow because even though Ziggler has been on a major roll lately Sheamus has been getting better and better every title defense and Ziggler doesn't have Flair with him and Flair has been a dividend for Ziggler being in his corner helping him to win matches but since Naitch is not going to be at Survivor Series Ziggler has gotta do it on his own so something's gotta give
Team Danielson vs Team Sandow, Team Danielson has quite the team having Danielson, Morrison, Bourne, Cara and Mysterio but then Team Sandow has quite the formidable team itself having Sandow, Swagger, Del Rio, Barrett and Big E. Langston, Sandow clearly having the better team because they outmatch Danielson's team in every way in terms of size, power and strength but also technician-style wrestling whereas Danielson's team is a team of high-flyers with the only exception being that Danielson is a high-flyer but also is a technician submission-style wrestler
Kings of Wrestling vs The Usos for the WWE Tag Team Championships, definitely Cesaro and Ohno will retain
Team Kaitlyn vs Team Beth, Team Beth all the way because just look at who they have, they have the WWE Divas Champion Beth Phoenix the Glamazon but they also have The Bella Twins, Eve and Maryse whereas Kaitlyn's team has Kaitlyn, Natalya, Layla, Aksana and Kelly Kelly but also on Kaitlyn's team there has been dissention brewing between Kaitlyn and Natalya, one is bound to turn heel on the other costing their team the victory
Ambrose vs Rhodes, No DQ, this match is not going to be one for the faint of heart this is going to be a war seeing as how these 2 not only want to hurt each other so badly they want to put each other on the shelf possibly even putting the other one out for good that is how personal this feud has become and not only that but these 2 were The Mercenaries of Darkness with The Undertaker taking the 2 of them under his wing but Rhodes proved to be the weak link with Ambrose being the stronger link but maybe Cody will finally prove himself at Survivor Series but then again I think he'll just fail
Good I am glad Big Johnny is gone, I really hope he stays gone and that he stays gone for good
The Rock makes his announcement that he is going to return at the 2013 Royal Rumble pay per view but also that he is going to be in the 2013 Royal Rumble Match, this is great because Rock has definitely got to be the favorite heading into the Rumble but also Rock he hasn't been in a match since SummerSlam so he will have a lot of time to prepare between now and January so
But I wonder where the hell is Mr. Kennedy? Like the man hasn't been seen since July, and it is practically November, Survivor Series, Kennedy has been gone for 5 months almost 6 months that Kennedy has been gone either he has been on the shelf or he took a sabbatical, I don't know just where the hell he has been but when the hell will he return because I sure as hell miss him

Look at our AJ with the fancy graphics these days. Survivor Series seems to be shaping up nicely. John Cena and Mark Henry always make an interesting combination, and a Last Man Standing Match should be interesting, although I think it's always obvious that Cena will win. Edge and Christian at odds? Hmm. They've each got nice teams too. A nice pair of teams. Sheamus and Dolph Ziggler is an interesting pairing, Sheamus was interesting as World Champion in WWE, so here's to another interesting reign. Overall, you've got a nice event coming up, a lot of stuff has come out of nowhere though, so I'm lost on some of it. Hopefully by reading Survivor Series, I can catch up.

| BANKERS LIFE FIELDHOUSE ARENA IN INDIANAPOLIS, IN |
PRE-SHOW: Tyson Kidd defeats Santino Marella via pinfall.
A promo video begins with a voice over stating that tonight live from the Bankers Life Fieldhouse Arena in Indianapolis, Indiana - Survival is key. The theme song, "Fist From the Sky" by Dark New Day, hits and the video shows the history of all of the rivalries coming to a head tonight. It starts off with Edge and Christian and their history of being best friends, and now forming teams of bitter rivals against each other. Each rivalry gets its own spot from the match, and the video continues on to highlight Damien Sandow and Bryan Danielson, forming tag team partners and champions, and another pair of partners as a part of the Mercenaries of Darkness in Dean Ambrose and Cody Rhodes. The video then goes on to highlight the recent rivalry between Sheamus and Dolph Ziggler over the World Heavyweight Championship, and concludes with Mark Henry versus John Cena with Henry naming the match to be a Last Man Standing match. The video concludes.
The cameras pan live into the Bankers Life Fieldhouse Arena as the commentary crew of Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler and Josh Mathews welcome everybody to Survivor Series - the classic event that has been taking place for over twenty years! Tonight, survival is once again key, not only in the classic Survivor Series matches, but in the big matches between Dean Ambrose and Cody Rhodes, Dolph Ziggler and Sheamus, and of course Mark Henry and John Cena with the WWE Championship on the line in a Last Man Standing match!No Disqualifications Match Dean Ambrose vs Cody RhodesThe bell tolls and the two circle around the ring before coming to the middle, Ambrose hitting a huge knee to the stomach. He throws a series of clubs across the back and takes Rhodes by the neck and tights, charging to the corner and tossing him shoulder first into the post. He steps out to the apron and backs off, throwing his hands back through his hair and charging forward with a big boot to the side of the head of Rhodes into the post! The crowd boos as Ambrose drops down to the floor and moves around the steps, dragging Rhodes outside of the ring. He leans him against the steel steps and backs off, charging with a big boot only for Rhodes to duck under it and Ambrose to smash himself into the steel steps knee first! Rhodes charges right up behind his former partner and slams his head off the steel post and then the steps. He throws a couple of kicks to the stomach and whips Ambrose down into the barricade shoulder first. Rhodes looks under the ring and takes a steel chair out, raising it up over his head. He steps over to Ambrose and prepares to swing it down but he is met with a huge kick to the stomach. Dean staggers back onto his feet and throws a few forearms to the head and knocks Rhodes back a bit. He steps backwards and charges full force, returning with a clothesline that drops Rhodes down with authority. Ambrose pulls Cody back up and throws him into the ring and takes the steel chair from the floor. Ambrose gets back into the ring and swings the chair at Rhodes, only to be hit with a dropkick that sends the chair right back into the face of Ambrose! Rhodes quickly rolls over and hooks both legs up for just a count of two. He gets right on top of Ambrose after the kick out and pounds his fists down across the face over and over again, the referee not stopping him with the stipulation. Rhodes finally gets up and spins around, throwing his arms out and yelling to the cheering crowd. He lets Ambrose get up in the corner and comes full force with a clothesline, stepping out to the apron afterward. Ambrose turns around in the middle of the ring and Rhodes launches off the top rope with a hard shoulder block, hooking both legs up for another two count. Ambrose sits back up and Rhodes stands back up, hitting a hard kick to the chest. Cody drags his rival back to his feet and throws him against the corner, stepping forward and hitting a couple of kicks to the stomach. He follows it up wit the Disaster Kick and Ambrose collapses to the mat, Rhodes rolling him over and going for the pinfall and getting just a two count once again. Both men get up once again and Rhodes tries to continue to keep the control of the match and goes for another Disaster Kick, only for Ambrose to hit a huge shot to the stomach and stop his wave of momentum. Ambrose fires off with punches to the head and hits a couple of knees before suplexing Rhodes and then bringing him to the outside of the ring, throwing him face first into the steel steps. He proceeds to go under the ring and pull out a kendo stick, bashing Rhodes across the knees, ankles and sides. He finally tees off with a huge one across the spine! Rhodes collapses to one knee, griping a hold of the ring apron. Ambrose backs up slowly and charges forward, nailing a vicious dropkick to the side of the skull. He slithers back onto both of his knees and goes back under the ring, pulling out another steel chair. He gets back onto his feet and raises it up high over his head with one hand and raises his fist up with his other. He tosses it into the ring and brings Rhodes back up, throwing him in. Ambrose then grabs another chair and gets into the ring, putting it in a sitting position. He forces Rhodes' face onto it and scoops the other chair up, giving an evil laugh. He raises the chair up once again, swinging it down viciously only for Rhodes to move out of the way at the last second! Rhodes gets to his feet and hits a kick to the stomach, pulls the chair free and decks Ambrose in the side. He then delivers the Cross Rhodes right onto the sitting chair face first! The crowd pops as Rhodes rolls up onto his knees, hooking both legs up quickly and getting the three count!Winner of the match via pinfall, Cody Rhodes (13:29) ***1/2Rhodes rolls off slowly, getting out of the ring and raising both fists into the air. The referee comes out of the ring and raises his arm up victoriously. Ambrose slowly stirs up onto is hands and knees as Rhodes backs up the ramp, the two locking eyes. Ambrose crawls to the ropes and starts to mvoe back u pto his feet, but falls back down. Rhodes grows a huge smile across his face and makes his way to the back as Ambrose once again tries to get back onto his feet, only to fall right back down. The cameras pan backstage to Matt Striker and he introduces his guest at this time to be Bryan Danielson. The crowd pops as the Money in the Bank holder steps into the scene, Striker asking him about facing Sandow in a classic survivor series format match tonight. "I love getting the opportunity to captain a team of talent," Danielson laughs and puts his hand on Matt's shoulder, "And not a team of angry, egotistical knuckleheads. I mean, what is it that Damien called them? Team Really Really Smart and Big Words Galore?" Bryan shakes his head and pulls his hand off, raising the briefcase up, "Damien thinks he is the rightful owner of this case and he thinks that the team he formed can beat mine and is capable of making a statement. Sorry to inform you, Damien, but after I beat your team tonight with my team, I might just go ahead and cash it in tonight before you get another chance. That, or, you know... I'll just make you tap out from so much pain you won't have the strength to ever try and take it away from me again." Danielson smiles and his team of four comes up from behind, giving nods to their captain. They all head off. Five-on-Five Classic Survivor Series Match Team Sandow (Damien Sandow, Alberto Del Rio, Wade Barrett, Jack Swagger and Big E Langston) vs Team Danielson (Bryan Danielson, Rey Mysterio, Sin Cara, John Morrison and Evan Bourne) The bell rings as Swagger starts things off with Bourne. The two come to the middle of the ring and lock up with each other, Swagger slipping through a shot and delivering a hard slam right on the mat, chest first for Bourne. He pulls him back up and backs off to the free corner nearby and ward, charging forward and nailing a vicious clothesline that sends Bourne down to the mat on his face. Swagger goes for the ankle lock but Bourne manages to roll through, sending Swagger forward. Bourne rolls right over to his corner and makes the tag to Cara, and he storms in with a huge hurricanrana on Swagger. He hops back up and springboards off of the ropes, returning to Jack with a hard DDT! He hooks both legs up but only gets a two count. Cara swings back onto his feet and goes for another springboard move, Swagger catching him and hanging him up on the ropes before making a tag to Barrett. He comes into the ring and runs across the ring, returning with a vicious bull hammer! He drops to the mat, hooks both legs up and gets the three count. Sin Cara is eliminated. Barrett gets back up to his feet and leans down a bit, calling for the next member of Danielson's team to come in. The four look to each other and Mysterio steps in, stepping up to Barrett and locking up with him. Barrett uses his strength to lift Mysterio off of the mat and charges him into the corner back first. He yanks him out for an elbow to the face and goes for the pinfall, Mysterio managing to kick out. Barrett drags him right back up by the mask and lifts him onto his shoulder, charging across the ring only for Mysterio to slip free and dropkick Barrett in between the ropes. As Rey staggers back up and hits off the ropes, however, Big E Langston tags himself in and charges into the ring, blasting Mysterio with a clothesline! He drags Rey back onto his feet and lifts him in a bearhug, Mysterio struggling in the grip. Langston lets go once he feels like it, and hits off of the ropes and returns with a clothesline, only for Rey to drop to the mat and trip Big E to the mat. Mysterio dives to his corner and tags in the captain, Danielson charging in and blasting Big E with kicks to the chest over and over. Big E manages to catch one, however, and hooks a hold of Bryan's body before nailing a hard belly to belly suplex. Swagger calls for the tag in and Langston makes his way over, staring at Swagger momentarily before making the tag. Jack comes back into the ring and walks around the downed body of Danielson and prepares.

Henry comes up to him in anger and throws him back into the ring. He goes under the ring and takes out a steel chair. He tosses the chair in and gets back into the ring, picking the chair up and slapping it off of the mat a few times. He orders Cena to get up and clocks him across the back as hard as he can once he does! He then whacks Cena again, the champion holding onto the ropes in order to stay up enough. Henry then goes to swing the chair at Cena's head, but he moves out of the way and the chair bounces right back into Henry's face!

The World's Strongest Man staggers back up at nine and Mark stumbles forward, Cena dropping him down with a shot from the chair across the shoulder and back!

Ambrose/Rhodes was a good choice for an opener as I'm a fan of both men. The right guy went over too as I hope to see a big Rhodes push. I love Daniel Bryan, but I feel like Team Sandow is slightly better. Bryan forcing Sandow to tap was a great call, I just wish Bryan would've been the sole survivor as it would've done wonders for him. I'm also just not a fan of Mysterio really. The Kings of Wrestling retaining was clearly the right move, but I would love this match as The Usos are better than they are given credit for. The Bellas surviving makes me sad, but it does make sense. Beth continues to dominate which I love. Although looking at this match and your roster, the Divas division could use a fresh face. Like Paige, Emma, Summer Rae, etc. Sheamus/Ziggler was a solid write up, but I wish Ziggler would've gone over. I would love to see Christian vs. Edge extended to WrestleMania. Two talented teams, but Christian's is unbelievable. Wow. My favorite match so far, Ryback getting DQed was cool, Rollins eliminating Jericho does wonders fro him. Punk getting Speared while having RVD up was excellent and Edge being the sole survivor was the right move. Just a great match. Really wanted to see Henry gain the win here, but Edge cashing in on Cena was a surprise. I kind of wish it was someone else with Money in the Bank though as I feel like twice is enough for Edge & Punk, who don't need it at this point. Especially after Edge just had a long hard fought match. Anyway, it does fit his character, but he had a huge face victory earlier in the night. It's interesting though and I'd like to see where you go from here. Good stuff overall. Also, CM Punk seems to be missing from your roster page though.
