allright, here we go with RAW. Wer'e kicking off with Cena calling out Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman. And once again Reigns stands tall over Cena, Nice win for Cesaro over one half of the WWE Tag Team Champions Jimmy Uso, Layla gets a huge win over Natalya with the distraction of AJ Lee, Mark Henry and Sheamus going at it again lol, nice win for M&C I like to call it Morrison and Christian over Rollins and Ryback, A nice tweet from The Rock saying he will come back for Brock Lesnar, maybe the two will face off again at Summerslam, Nice win for Erick Rowan over Titus O' Neil. Big E face turn pretty nice, Ambrose defeats The Miz in a non-title match, Ambrose is pretty badass, nice backstage confrontation between Triple H and John Cena, Big Show once again ruins the match between Mark Henry and Sheamus, well it was a double-countout so it doesn't count. Ziggler and Orton get a big victory over Rhodes and Bryan, here's hoping either Orton, Ziggler or Rhodes get into the World Heavyweight Championship picture, did Punk declare himself as Zeus, Jesus and God. , really Punk declares himself as Jesus, Zeus and God, ha ha, but OHHH MY F'N GOD. JEFF HARDY IS BACK! JEFF HARDY! JEFF HARDY! JEFF FREAKING HARDY!. Stephanie Mcmahon has really outdone herself on this one, but I'm sure there's problems in the Mcmahon/Helmsley camp, but loved the way Jeff took out Punk, I'm glad Jeff's going to take on CM Punk in a Steel Cage Match at Extreme Rules, but I just don't see him winning the match, as much as he wants to get his revenge on Punk, that could eventually cost him a chance of becoming the WWE Champion but who knows. Great show, but I'm very shocked that Jeff Hardy is here, I'm starting to shout like Jim Ross. HARDY! HARDY! HARDY! JEFF HARDY IS BACK BY GAWD!

Jeff Hardy?! That certainly is a surprising return. I don't know about him getting an immediate title match with CM Punk, thought, even though it does make sense. I'd rather have just built up to it for a couple of pay-per-views first.
That out of the way, anotehr good edition of Raw. The Cena/Reigns feud has begun in earnest, Ambrose gets a strong win to make up fr his loss on Smackdown, and Morrison continues to stake his claim for an IC Title shot with another win. I guess we're getting a Kofi/Langston feud, and Kofi has a right to be angry since he's done next to nothing after lsoing teh world title. Hopefully he gets some more gold soon. Not surprsied Ziggler pinned Bryan in the tag match, guess he had to get one over on him to set their match up. Still don't like both world titles featured on one show. Another great episode here.

Jeff Hardy is back!!!!!! Jeff Hardy the Charismatic Enigma is back in a WWE ring and he is back on RAW!!!!!! I'M MARKING OUT RIGHT NOW!!!!! Imagine Jeff Hardy's first feud back is with the man who forced him to leave WWE in the first place that being The Best in the World CM Punk, and it is going to be Jeff Hardy vs CM Punk at Extreme Rules in a Steel Cage Match for the WWE Championship, I can't wait!!!!!!! Jeff Hardy now that he is back in the WWE in your diary I could see him facing off against the likes of Punk, Cena, Danielson, Sheamus, Reigns, Lesnar, Undertaker, etc. but Hardy's first match back on a PPV will be against Punk, no doubt that their rivalry will become as personal as it did in 2009 when Punk was in his Straight Edge persona but now that Punk has gone on to become "The Best in the World" and he is in his "Best in the World pipe-bombing anti-hero" gimmick now this renewed rivalry should be interesting for the most part
Punk's first PPV title defense, could his reign end before it even begins? I don't think so because I see him beating Jeff Hardy at Extreme Rules but I could see their match possibly being Match of the Year as far as Slammy Awards goes
Are there problems within the McMahon-Helmsley marriage or are there problems within the McMahon-Helmsley regime? I don't think there is because I think they are playing us all like puppets once again but they may have everyone else fooled but they don't have me fooled at all because just like how I saw Triple H's heel turn coming from like a mile away I see Stephanie's heel turn coming from a mile away, so no sorry you do not have me fooled at all
I wonder where Chris Jericho is? No one has seen Jericho since WrestleMania 29 where he lost his match against The Undertaker coming as close as any man in history to ending the streak but ultimately failing in the process...we didn't see Jericho even have the chance to address his loss to The Undertaker but I wonder if Jericho since he is on tour with Fozzy right now if he will return as a heel or as a babyface? Either way Jericho I see him coming back by at least SummerSlam at the earliest, the latest I see Jericho making his return is by Survivor Series or even TLC or latest being Royal Rumble
As for Big E. Langston turning babyface and feuding with Kofi, this could really elevate Big E. since Kofi in your diary he is a former World Heavyweight Champion but since losing the title Kofi hasn't really done much of nothing if anything at all, while Big E. on the other hand he is a star on the rise here in the company so I could see him going over Kofi in his feud and then from there on the sky's the limit for him
As for Randy Orton, I see him facing off against Rhodes at Extreme Rules but as for what kind of match it will end up being, I see it either being a Last Man Standing Match or an I Quit Match, either way if you do choose one of these 2 scenarios it is the perfect way to end their rivalry once and for all and it has got to come to an end which I see the end being at Extreme Rules because at this point Orton should even be main eventing and same goes for Cody Rhodes, so after their rivalry is over I could see both men setting their sights on either the World Heavyweight Championship or on the WWE Championship and either one of them would be deserving too of a shot
As for Big Show laying out both Henry and Sheamus again, I see this being the start of either Big Show turning heel again or Big Show wanting to set his sights on either the WWE or World Heavyweight Championship but either way I see Big Show facing off against Henry and Sheamus in a Triple Threat with the winner facing off against most likely the World Heavyweight Champion whether it be Danielson or Ziggler at the next PPV but Big Show I just love his character tweaking in the sense that Show just comes out and destroys people and then leaves, perfect way to tweak Show's character since he is a Giant
Dean Ambrose as for him I see him defending his WWE United States Championship at Extreme Rules and as for who he ends up facing at Extreme Rules is anyone's guess but Ambrose just continues to prove why he is a star in the making beating Miz, and honestly who can dispute that? Look at who trained this man look at who mentored him...possibly one of the greatest superstars of all time The Undertaker by being a former Mercenary of Darkness but also being a former IC Champion and now US Champion Ambrose one day he could become a future WWE or World Heavyweight Champion but for now I wonder just who he is going to feud with next?
As for the Wyatt Family I wonder who they will set their sights on next in order to make a name for themselves considering they took on perhaps 3 of the baddest and biggest superstars at Mania in Show, Henry and Sheamus and beat all 3 of them in their debut, taking out all 3 of them, it makes me wonder just who they will come after next? Or who will be their next victim? Because from the looks of things it could be really anyone at this point because it doesn't matter to the Wyatts
Rock I could see him returning by at least SummerSlam with Brock Lesnar also making his shocking return at the same time to set up the rematch of Rock vs Brock III, at SummerSlam, or if it doesn't happen there then Rock vs Brock III will happen at Survivor Series but either way from the looks of Rock's tweet he is going to come back and when he does he is going to want a piece of Lesnar like that is obvious
But as for Roman Reigns, his push has already started I mean look at how he burst on to the scene, look at who he has managing him? He has Paul Heyman perhaps the greatest manager of all time in his corner with Roman Reigns being the newest Paul Heyman Guy and look at who Reigns goes after to make a name for himself, he goes after John Cena who has been the face of the company for over a decade, going after the biggest name in this business and making a complete impact laying out Cena not once but twice over 2 weeks costing Cena the WWE Championship in the process, I see it being Cena vs Reigns at Extreme Rules in Reigns' first PPV appearance and Cena putting Reigns over, a passing of the torch if you will with Reigns' popularity skyrocketing soon after with Reigns turning babyface eventually but not right now obviously considering he is a heel and a damn good one at that especially associating himself with the likes of Heyman who gets heat like no one else, that is why Reigns is destined to become a future WWE or World Heavyweight Champion and not to mention Roman Reigns is a second-generation superstar the son of WWE Hall of Famer and one half of the Wild Samoans "Sika" of the Wild Samoans, Reigns comes from a great wrestling family the Samoan wrestling family the Anoa'i family so Reigns is related to the likes of The Rock, Yokozuna, Rikishi, The Usos, the late Umaga, Peter Maivia, Afa of the Wild Samoans
But as for Rollins I see him defending his IC Title in a Fatal 4-Way somehow defending it against Christian, Ryback, and John Morrison against all 3 of those guys with Rollins then having to defend that very title at Extreme Rules and if I am right and that happens then that's even better

As for Batista, if he returns, I see Batista returning by either SummerSlam, Survivor Series, or Royal Rumble at the latest, that is only for The Animal Dave Batista though
But I wonder if you are going to have Fandango debut with Summer Rae? And if you do then I wonder just when they will debut by? As for Fandango I could see him debuting with vignettes and then debuting on an episode of RAW or Smackdown when we least expect it
But as for Curtis Axel, I wonder if he will debut as well? And if he does the perfect way to debut Axel would of course be having him have vignettes of just himself looking and acting like his father the late great Mr. Perfect Curt Hennig, and then Axel by doing that I could then see him debuting on an episode of RAW or Smackdown
But as for Kennedy since he is in talks about a return in your diary, Kennedy former World Heavyweight Champion 2012 Royal Rumble Match winner, then I could see him making his return either by SummerSlam, Survivor Series or even by TLC or even at Royal Rumble as a surprise entrant

Nice return for Jeff Hardy. I wonder if Hardy's title shot will lead to some bickering among the roster, since he was given it immediately upon his return. Ryback taking the fall for his team was the right call, it keeps Morrison looking strong without Seth looking bad. Nice win from Ambrose, a good way to give him some momentum after the loss last week. Zigler pinning Bryan was to be expected, but it at least gives him some much needed momentum going into the rematch. Reigns looked strong, which I like, considering that the typical heel in the WWF is a coward.

| REACTIONS TO HARDY'S RETURN TO WWE | UPDATES ON JERICHO AND RVD | PUNK REPORTEDLY 'HAPPY' AFTER TURMOIL | A shocking return this past Monday to the WWE has led to major reaction all around the industry. Hardy, 35, has been out of the company for a few years now and it came as a huge shock to most that he actually returned after spending his time away with TNA. An unnamed superstar reportedly stated after Raw this past Monday, "It's nice to see him back. I just hope all goes smoothly. Everyone knows his history and understands that if he blows this chance, there will be a lot of heads turning in the direction of the WWE." Hardy was announced as the new number one contender for the WWE Title and will face CM Punk at Extreme Rules inside of a steel cage. The comment, of course, was in reference to Hardy's history with drugs, especially during his recent tenure with TNA.
WWE clearly understands the risk they will be running here, but the opportunity to bring back one of the most popular superstars in recent memory had to have been very pressing. According to sources, Vince McMahon wasn't very keen on bringing back the 'Charismatic Enigma' but Triple H and others pushed the idea on him before finally getting their way. Hardy will reportedly have a very short leash, as it should be expected. | Following WrestleMania 29, Chris Jericho and Rob Van Dam have disappeared from television. Although it isn't surprising for many about RVD as his return to WWE was expected to be a six month term. He returned at Money in the Bank in mid-September and has now left following the April 7th event after facing Seth Rollins for the Intercontinental Championship. Van Dam isn't expected to be back that quickly, according to various reports, but will return in the future. It is believed he plans on coming back either around September once again, or possibly before the big summer pay-per-view, Summerslam.
As for Chris Jericho, however, his disappearance comes as more of a surprise to the WWE Universe. According to multiple reports though, Jericho had been planning on taking time off following this years WrestleMania for quite some time now. Jericho plans to spend time recording some new material with his rock band, Fozzy, and doesn't appear to be on track to re-appear in the WWE until at least this summer. Whether Fozzy goes on tour or not at some point in the year will certainly take part of when his return to the company will take place, certainly, but as said previously - it is unknown if they will or not at this current point and time. | After spending multiple years in the WWE and rising as one of the most popular in the business, CM Punk was apparently fairly unhappy with the way things were going heading into July 2011 where his contract was set to expire. He faced John Laurinaitis at the Vengeance pay-per-view in his home of Illinois at that time and heading into the event hadn't planned to keep going past that expiration date. The WWE and Punk had spent many weeks attempting to work things out together, but had apparently reached a crossroads. The WWE had Mr. Kennedy return at the Vengeance event and cost Punk his match against Laurinaitis and many fans believed it was done as a stab at Punk as he left. Things would be worked out between the two, though, as plans for Punk were turned in a much more favorable way for the rising star. He would eventually turn on the WWE Universe and HHH by joining forces with Laurinaitis.
In the following months, Punk would receive a World Title shot against Chris Jericho at Royal Rumble, face HOFer Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania, do battle with Triple H once again, get a WWE Title shot, face The Rock at Summerslam, win the 2013 Royal Rumble match and finally go on to Mania and win the WWE Title. Punk is reportedly 'very happy' following his struggles with the company just a year and a half ago. Punk is now officially a major star. |

Jeff Hardy is back in the WWE and his reception being mixed I get it because of his tenure in TNA and that he is on a short leash here back in WWE, understandable but I don't see Jeff Hardy screwing up his chance and with Jeff back in a WWE ring he can easily become the most popular face in the WWE all over again especially with the women, children and some of the men but there are so many superstars Jeff can work with this time around like Cena, Orton, Danielson, Ziggler, Sheamus, Wyatt Family, Roman Reigns, Lesnar, Del Rio, Taker, Christian, Ryback, Rollins, Ambrose, etc.
With RVD I can see him coming back either at your September pay per view once again but if he doesn't, then I can easily see him coming back at SummerSlam but in the build-up to either event it should be interesting to see who he faces
Jericho I see him returning either by Money in the Bank in July or returning by SummerSlam in August but Jericho I wonder if he will be coming back as a heel or as a babyface? But more importantly who he will feud with once he comes back
As for Punk, I could see him having a long title reign especially with the WWE Championship since he won it back at WrestleMania 29 I could see CM Punk being WWE Champion all the way up to WrestleMania 30 eclipsing a 1-year 365 day title reign and then going even beyond that to lose his title at your May pay per view of Extreme Rules 2014 to tie his 434 day reign as WWE Champion in real life becoming the longest-reigning WWE Champion of the modern era

I might steal that News layout... just sayin' Jeff Hardy coming back is certainly a big move for the post-WrestleMania Raw. Now I'm not a Jeff Hardy fan by any stretch of the imagination, but he's one of those guys that if they returned, I think I'd still get behind it. Not sure on a straight-up Championship feud for him, but it could work. I don't see him taking the title at any point though, I think he'll just come out on a loss and move on to another regular feud. I like the idea though.

April 18, 2013 from the Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville, Tennessee
The cameras go straight into the TD Garden in Boston as Michael Cole and Josh Mathews welcome everybody to Smackdown! Tonight, we will apparently get some clarity as to the stipulation for the World Heavyweight Championship at Extreme Rules. In other action, John Morrison will get his Intercontinental Championship match against Seth Rollins!
The crowd is looked over and the theme music of Dolph Ziggler hits to the displeasure of the WWE Universe. He brings himself out and flaunts himself to the crowd before getting down to the ring, taking a microphone before coming to the middle of the squared circle. "I'm the show off, baby, and I showed off for you all this past Monday Night when I pinned your World Heavyweight Champion right in the middle of this here ring!" He gives a long laugh and points around the arena, laughing at every part of the crowd. "You all thought because Bryan got lucky at WrestleMania, I could never get one over on him ever again! But what have I done since then? I've laid him out on his ass and I've raised that title belt that should be mine and I've pinned him right in the middle of this ring. Danielson, you think you're so much better than me! But guess what? You're just like all of these people that chant that stupid word along with you..." The fans break out into the 'Yes!' chants as Ziggler bites on his lip, before commanding they all shut up! "You're just like all of these people because you are ignorant and think because you get one win over me you're worthy of being World Heavyweight Champion. I'm better than you and I know it! And I know that you know deep down somewhere inside of your stupid beard that I am better... and all of these stupid people from Knoxville, Tennessee!" The crowd takes exception to the insult and starts to jaw at Ziggler until Danielson's theme music hits - the crowd exploding!
The World Heavyweight Champion comes out from the top of the stage and removes the belt from his waist, pumping it over his head while leading the 'Yes!' chants. He puts the belt over his shoulder and makes his way to the ring, stepping right up to Ziggler before pumping the title up once again, continuing the chants. He pulls the microphone back up and raises his eyebrows to Dolph, "You really want to insult all of these great people, Dolph? Maybe you don't realize every time you do you just make more and more people chant that word you hate so much." He gives a big smile, "But I understand that you won't change and you're just always going to be bitter and conceited, so let me just lay this down for you... I talked to Stephanie McMahon before the show started and she informed me that the stipulation of our match at Extreme Rules will become a little more clearer in front of these Knoxville!" He gives another smile and points out to everyone, "So, Dolph, let me introduce our lovely commissioner, Mrs. Stephanie McMahon!" He gives an applause as she brings herself out to the top of the stage, getting a solid reception from the Tennessee fans. She thanks Bryan for the welcoming and gives an unenthusiastic hello to Ziggler before proceeding. "As Bryan mentioned just moments ago, the stipulation for your rematch at Extreme Rules will be announced here tonight but perhaps announced isn't the best word... rather, it will be determined! Both of you men will be involved in action tonight on Smackdown... together." She smiles and the two look at each other in confusion. "Who will determine that stipulation, gentlemen, will be one of you. Now, whoever manages to impress myself and the board of directors here tonight will be given that opportunity to choose the stipulation. As for your opponents... the WWE Tag Team Champions, The Usos!" She gives a big grin as Danielson and Ziggler start to argue back and forth in the middle of the ring, clearly uneasy about the situation here tonight. Stephanie wishes them luck for later on in the night.
Returning, Dolph Ziggler is walking backstage and Matt Striker steps up, asking him what he thinks about having to team with Bryan Danielson tonight in order to prove himself worthy of choosing their stipulation at Extreme Rules. Ziggler stares at him, "What is there I have to prove, Matt? I'm the Show Off! I should be the World Heavyweight Champion right here, right now... I shouldn't have to prove anything... but tonight I have to team up with Bryan and face The Usos? And whoever 'impresses' more gets to choose the stipulation!?" He laughs and looks around, "I would think they would just hand it to Bryan but after I show off tonight... they won't have any excuse to do that." He heads off, determined to make his statement tonight.
Luke Harper with Erick Rowan and Bray Wyatt defeats Titus O'Neill with Darren Young via pinfall The match begins with Titus getting the advantage early on and getting a couple of near falls. He gets a little too confident along with Darren Young and Harper takes advantage of the situation, blasting him with a huge big boot. Harper keeps O'Neill in the mat and corner with tight holds, finally hitting a hard clothesline that leads to him getting a near fall. The duo get back to their feet once again and battles back and forth, O'Neill lifting for a slam only for Harper to slip down, bounce Titus off the ropes and nail the Discus Elbow.
The Wyatt's music hits and the crowd boos as Darren stays on the outside of the ring, Harper rising onto one knee and pointing at him. Young backs off as Bray and Erick come marching towards the ring. They get into it and Rowan charges forward, hitting a Big Splash on O'Neill. Wyatt does his signature motion in the corner and comes forward, delivering Sister Abigail right in the middle of the ring. He rises onto his knees and calls for a microphone, leaning over the body of Titus O'Neill with a laugh. "Ten little soldier boys went out to dine; One choked his little self and then there were nine..." He continues to laugh, "March forward and follow... the buzzards!" The signature of the family hits as the screen goes black.
Returning, Kofi Kingston's music hits and he brings himself out to some heat from the crowd. He brushes it off and makes his way down and around the ring before coming towards the commentary table. He takes a seat, puts on a headset in preparation to do some guest commentary for the upcoming contest.
Big E Langston defeats Damien Sandow via pinfall The bell sounds and Sandow charges forward, firing away at Langston only to get tossed right in the corner and bashed with shoulder after shoulder to the mid section. Langston overpowers him for a couple of minutes before preparing for the Big Ending, Sandow managing to slip down. Langston sends a huge elbow to the face and sends him back, Kingston making his way towards the ring. He steps up onto the apron and Langston knocks him down, Sandow going for a roll up after only to get a two count. Sandow gets a little bit of offense in and hits off of the ropes, only to be caught with a huge clothesline. Big E throws Damien right into Kingston as he gets back up on the apron, and throws his straps down - finishing Sandow off with the Big Ending and pinfall.
Langston pounds on his chest and shouts out to the crowd. He turns to see Kofi rushing into the ring and he ducks under a clothesline from Langston, hopping onto the second rope and diving back. Langston catches his former mentor, however, and drops him down on his knee. He does it a couple more times and pushes him off to the ropes, charging forward with a clothesline! Kingston flops onto the floor on the outside, leaving Langston marching around the ring in celebration of his victory over Sandow and overpowering of Kingston.
Returning, a replay from last week on Smackdown airs where John Morrison would pin and defeat Seth Rollins in a non-title match.
John Morrison defeats Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins via disqualification (Rollins retains the Intercontinental Championship) The match begins with the two locking up and Morrison swinging momentum his way. He gets multiple near falls and Rollins rolls out of the ring, leading to a dive over the top rope by Morrison. He continues to keep control of the match and continues with the near falls until Rollins ducks a roundhouse kick and delivers a hard snap DDT. He turns things his direction and gets some near falls of his own, hitting a superkick and getting very close to a three. After a few minutes of back and forth action, Morrison hits the Moonlight Drive and struggles his way to the corner. He climbs to the top rope and goes for Starship Pain, only for Rollins to pull both knees up. He rolls out of the ring and Morrison soon follows, only for Rollins to blast him with his title belt!
The referee rushes right out of the ring after calling for the bell in order to hold Rollins back, asking what he is thinking. Rollins tosses the title down and mounts over Morrison, punching away at the head. "Who do you think you are, Morrison!? You think you're better than me, Morrison!? HUH!?" He swings his head off the announce table and scoops his belt back up, finally listening to the referee by backing away. The official checks down on Morrison as he is the winner, but not the champion. Rollins heads towards the back with a smile across his face.
Returning, Cody Rhodes is backstage talking with some crew members when Goldust walks up to him. Cody asks whats up and Goldust says he just found out some great news from Stephanie McMahon. He informs Cody that at Extreme Rules he gets to face Randy Orton once again. Cody rolls his eyes, "I already beat him at WrestleMania, bro. I mean... I enjoyed it but..." Goldust asks what he is thinking and slaps his chest. He reminds Cody of all the bad things Randy has done to the family. "And at Extreme Rules, Cody, that match isn't any ordinary match... it's going to be a Texas Bullrope Match." He gives a smile and Cody nods, stating that it sounds pretty good. They look up to see Randy coming forward and he gets right in Cody's face, looking back and forth between him and Goldust. "A Texas Bullrope match sounds pretty good to you, Cody? Maybe you don't remember what I did to your father about six years ago in the same type of match. You wonder why that match is that stipulation? Because I went right into Stephanie McMahon's office and demanded it... because at Extreme Rules I'm going to destroy you. I'm going to punish you just as I punished your father and your freak brother here... over and over again." He gives a sick grin and heads off, The Rhodes brothers staring off in frustration with Orton's words.
The cameras transition to Stephanie McMahon's office and she is talking on the phone when The Kings of Wrestling come barging in, unhappy about something. She hangs up and asks what she can help them with and Cesaro asks why The Usos are going up against Danielson and Ziggler when they should be defending their title belts against the 'best team in the world today'. Stephanie sighs and Ohno pushes his chin up, "So why don't you just go ahead with your pretty self and put us in the main event for the tag titles right now?" He gives a cocky smile and Stephanie says that would be a good idea if the main event tonight didn't feature much bigger consequences. She tells the two that they will get a title shot on Monday. They had off.
Returning, a video airs for the WWE Be a Star program featuring the likes of John Cena, Bryan Danielson, Sheamus and Kaitlyn.
AJ Lee defeats Layla with Diva's Champion Kaitlyn via submission The bell sounds and the two lock up, AJ getting the upper hand early and applying a couple of submission holds on the mat. Layla struggles and gets back up onto her feet and fires away at the head of AJ and sends her down to the mat a couple of times, getting some near falls. Layla starts to get a big wave of momentum but AJ manages to blast her with a huge clothesline. She hits a couple more before hitting the Shining Wizard, finally locking in the Black Widow. After a short struggle, Layla is left with no choice but to submit.
AJ Lee gets back up onto her feet and starts to skip around the ring, stopping herself right at the ropes while looking out to Kaitlyn. She gives a big smile and cups her hands against her cheek before stepping out of the ring, skipping around the ring. She goes past Kaitlyn and rubs the Diva's Championship before making her way up the ramp.
United States Champion Dean Ambrose defeats Christian via pinfall in a non-title match The bell sounds and both men fire away at each other, Christian ducking underneath a clothesline before tossing Ambrose into the corner chest first. He pounds away with forearms to the lower back and takes some control. He gets some near falls but Ambrose comes back with a strong effort, getting some near falls off hard slams and shots. He gets a little cocky and it allows Christian to get back in the match, hitting a huge spear! He hooks both legs up for a two count, Ambrose pushing right off. They both get onto their feet once again and Christian gets a wave of momentum, sending Ambrose to the mat multiple times before going for the Killswitch - Ambrose shoving him forward and hooking his waist against the ropes, rolling him down with assistance from the ropes for a three count!
The crowd boos as Ambrose pushes himself up onto his feet, pumping both his fists up in the air. He marches around the ring and takes his title belt from ringside, Christian getting back up onto his feet in complaint of the ropes being used. Ambrose spreads his arms out and taunts Christian, whom snaps forward. Ambrose backs down, however, and steps out of the ring. He pulls the United States Championship belt up over his shoulder and continues to trash talk as Christian puts his hands on his hips in frustration.
Returning, Michael Cole and Josh Mathews welcome everyone back to the show and begin to talk about this past Monday night, a huge return was made here to the WWE. They go back to footage from Monday where CM Punk would hold a celebration ceremony for becoming the WWE Champion at WrestleMania the previous week. After making a huge speech, running down everybody that he has competed against and defeated. After some more self-praise, an interruption would be made by none other than Jeff Hardy. He would come down to the ring and work the crowd up before stating he should get a WWE Championship match. After some talking back from Punk, Stephanie McMahon would make her way out and announce that Hardy is the new number one contender and get his title match inside of a steel cage at Extreme Rules. Hardy would proceed to attack Punk and hit him with the Swanton Bomb before celebrating along with the crowd chanting his name. Back live, the commentary team proceeds to announce that Jeff Hardy will be returning to WWE action next week on Monday Night Raw!
The cameras cut to Matt Striker backstage and he introduces his guests at this time to be the WWE Tag Team Champions, The Usos. He thanks the two for their time and asks about the opportunity to face the World Heavyweight Champion Bryan Danielson and the number one contender, Dolph Ziggler. Jey says that this is a great opportunity and Jimmy laughs, "A great opportunity, Jey? It's a fantastic opportunity! Look, Dolph is a former World Champion and he is a bit of a loud mouth and I'd love to shut him up." Jey shrugs his shoulders, "Yeah but Bryan, as much as we like the dude, would be nice to beat the World Heavyweight Champion." The brothers get in agreement and they look off to the side to see The Kings of Wrestling stepping forward. The two teams stare down and Cesaro tells them to worry about this Monday night and not tonight, because they won't be champions then. Ohno agrees and tells them to just call off tonight's match. The Usos laugh and Jimmy adjusts his title belt, "How about you two sit back and watch us in tonight's match and help yourself not get embarrassed too bad on Monday night when we beat you?" The tag team champions head off as the main event match is up next!
WWE Tag Team Champions The Usos defeat World Heavyweight Champion Bryan Danielson and Dolph Ziggler via pinfall in a non-title match The bell rings as Jimmy starts off with Ziggler, the latter getting some early control. He takes Jimmy down and works him in the corner a bit before Danielson forces a tag in. The two continue to work against Jimmy as they continue to make forceful tags. After yet another one from Dolph, Jimmy takes advantage of an argument between him and Bryan by hitting a hard dropkick. He slams Ziggler down a couple of times before sending him over the top rope. He makes a tag to his brother and he comes in, the duo bouncing off the ropes and coming forward with a double dive over the ropes and onto Ziggler. A commercial break interrupts and upon the return, The Usos remain in control of the match while going back and forth with tags against Ziggler. After a missed splash from Jimmy, however, Ziggler swings control back in his favor. He storms over to his corner and slaps the chest of Danielson. He steps in and steps up to Jimmy, blasting him with kicks to the chest. He looks right at Ziggler while doing it and as a result, gets tripped up on the last attempt kick in the head. Bryan gets back up slowly and looks to Dolph, charging forward at him and diving right into him! A tag is officially made, but Bryan just charges out after Ziggler and starts to pound away at him with punches. Ziggler throws him over and starts to hit some punches of his own, the two going back and forth. Both men get to their feet and The Usos come flying over the ropes to take them both out! Jey brings Dolph in and goes for a pin attempt, only to get a two count. As Jimmy gets up on the outside, the referee tells him to get back to his corner. As he is looking away momentarily, Ziggler sends a huge kick up into the groin of Jey! The crowd boos loudly as Ziggler rises up onto his feet with a grin, preparing for the Zig Zag. As Jey starts to get up, however, Danielson comes storming in and blasts Ziggler with the Running Knee! The entire arena roars as Bryan gets onto his feet and starts up the 'Yes!' chants before giving a nod to The Usos. He exits the ring and marches his way up the ramp, The Usos each climbing to the top rope and delivering a splash each, Jey hooking up both legs to get the three count on Ziggler!
The Knoxville crowd pops as The Usos get onto their feet, hugging each other in celebration of the win. They are awarded their tag titles as the replays air of their high flying double team moves, including the finish after Danielson's Running Knee to his partner. Back live, Ziggler stirs up against the ropes onto one knee and looks right up the ramp at Danielson, whom holds the World Heavyweight Championship high up over his head with a smile. He points down to Jimmy and Jey and along with them continues the 'Yes!' chants around the entire arena as Ziggler drops to the mat, cupping his ears in absolute frustration. Smackdown comes to a conclusion with the crowd continuing on with the very loud chant.

As for Danielson and Ziggler I wonder who will get to decide the stipulation? I can see it being Ziggler who ends up deciding and if he does then I could see it being a Ladder Match for the World Heavyweight Championship seeing Ziggler's experience in Ladder Matches but then again Danielson he also has experience in Ladder Matches winning MITB not once but twice but if Danielson ends up choosing the stipulation then I can see him choosing a Submission Match or an I Quit Match for the World Heavyweight Championship or even a 2 Out of 3 Falls Match for the World Heavyweight Championship but either way I knew that Ziggler and Danielson would not be able to co-exist especially against the WWE Tag Team Champions The Usos but The Usos though have momentum heading into Monday when they have to defend their WWE Tag Team Championships on RAW against Kings of Wrestling but with Ziggler and Danielson their feud just continues to get more personal
Orton vs Rhodes at Extreme Rules in a Texas Bullrope Match I wonder who that favors more either Orton or Rhodes? Considering Rhodes has never been in a Texas Bullrope Match but his father The American Dream Dusty Rhodes he has so maybe he can give his son a few pointers about this match or maybe Rhodes can watch some footage to know just what he's getting into but with Orton he has been in a Texas Bullrope Match he knows what it's all about considering his last one he faced Rhodes' father The American Dream in it, so I have no doubt this is going to be the most personal match on the card, the most brutal because this will be a war
I see it being Morrison vs Rollins for the WWE Intercontinental Championship and if I am right about that then I see these 2 going at it at Extreme Rules but will it be a regular singles match or will it have a stipulation added? If it does then I wonder if Morrison will be the one who ends Rollins' awesome run as IC Champion?
But as for Ambrose, just who can beat him for that WWE United States Championship? No one because he continues to prove himself over and over again that he is here to stay as WWE United States Champion and that he is a star on the rise in this diary beating Christian yet again, like who else does he honestly have to go through?
Jeff Hardy's first match back in a WWE ring this Monday, I wonder just who he will face? You can bet Punk will be watching and I will bet any money Punk the reigning and defending WWE Champion that he will be in action on RAW this Monday too and if he is then I wonder just who he will face?
Big E. vs Kofi Kingston, I can see it happening at Extreme Rules too but as for what type of match it ends up being, I see it being a Strap Match

Pretty intriguing main event. The Usos come out looking even better than before, I can't wait for the match vs. KoW on RAW. It's also good to see Bryan get some payback against Ziggler, but will that payback backfire for Bryan and allow Ziggler to pick the stips? Extreme Rules is shaping up real nicely, that Bull Rope match between Cody and Orton should be good. Rollins/Morrison and Big E/Kofi are probably going to be added soon. Can't wait.

SMACKDOWN Time, Bryan/Ziggler promo with Stephanie Mcmahon coming out saying that they will fight for the World Heavyweight Title again at Extreme Rules, but what type of match is it going to be but they're going to take on the Usos, this should be interesting. Great win for Luke Harper against Titus O. Neil, I'm looking for big things with the Wyatt Family. Nice victory for Big E breaking away from Kingston. Nice DQ victory for John Morrison against Seth Rollins. I hope Morrison has another Intercontinental Championship Match soon, I don't think Rollins doesn't like winning or losing. He just wants to beat his opponent, Randy and Cody in a texas bullrope match, that's going to be awesome. Hopefully Cody will avenge his father's loss years ago, but I know Orton can win this one, why because he's a Viper. Nice win for AJ making her prove that she's the diva you don't wanna mess with. Hopefully she can get back at the Divas Championship. Nice win for Ambrose against Christian. Ambrose is doing pretty good as The United States Champion. A great win for the Usos against Bryan and Ziggler with Bryan turning on Ziggler. I'm still wondering what kind of match they will have at Extreme Rules. Well nice SMACKDOWN show, looking forward for more.

April 22, 2013 from the 02 Arena in London, England
The Monday Night Raw intro video airs and the cameras swing into the 02 Arena from London, England. The commentary team of Jerry Lawler and Michael Cole welcome everybody to the show and state how tonight we are in London and tonight we will not only hear from Jeff Hardy, but he will participate in his first match back in the WWE! Also, John Cena will be here to address his situations with Triple H, Paul Heyman and Roman Reigns. Plus, the WWE Tag Team Titles will be defended when The Usos battle The Kings of Wrestling!
The London crowd is looked over and the theme music of Jeff Hardy hits, the WWE Universe exploding as the Charismatic Enigma brings himself out from the back and moves across the stage, working his fans over. He gives a big smile as he heads down the ramp, giving some high fives before getting in the ring. He gets the crowd fired up a little bit more before taking a microphone from ringside, making his way to the middle of the ring. He gives a big smile as the fans chant 'Hardy' loudly. "Thanks guys. Really, thank you... if you didn't happen to hear the news over here in London, England yet... I'm going to Extreme Rules in a little less than a month to face CM Punk inside of a steel cage for the WWE Championship!" He throws his hands up as the crowd pops, Hardy giving a laugh. "But before I get to that match, I tell you guys what... I really gotta get myself prepared. So here tonight on Monday Night Raw, right here in the famous 02 Arena in the beautiful land of London, England!" He lets the pop come for the mention of where they are, "Y'all are going to get to see Jeff Hardy in his first match back in the WWE!" The fans continue to get wild until the theme music of the WWE Champion hits, Punk making his way out and towards the ring to some strong heat.
Punk takes a microphone from ringside and adjusts the title belt over his shoulder, staring at Hardy. "Congratulations, Jeff. You're back here in the WWE after four years when I took you out in the first place and now you get a WWE Championship match against me and you think it's pretty cool. You know, when I first got rid of you I tried to help you. I tried to save you, but I had some compassion back then because I wasn't as I am today. Today, I am the best in the world and I come out here every single night and show it by being nothing short of ruthless. I don't let up and I continue to put the pressure on so once we step inside that steel cage at Extreme Rules, Hardy, you won't even stand a chance. You might get to hit me a couple of times but guess what? You won't ever get to beat me and you won't ever get to hold this title belt. As a matter of fact, nobody besides me is going to hold this belt! And if you want to tell all of these foolish people that you are going to take the WWE Championship away from CM Punk then go right ahead! Go right ahead because you'll just end up not living up to your word like usual!" The two get face to face and Hardy tries to tug the title belt out of Punk's hands, and the champion pulls away while clutching the belt close to his chest. Hardy pulls his microphone back up and tells Punk to slow himself down, "You think you're so great nowadays, Punk, and you act like you're invincible. You've been champion for a couple of weeks, dude, so shut up already, man!" The crowd pops as Hardy continues on, "You've held the title for fifteen days and you think you're automatically going to beat me? Know what, Punk? I am telling all of these people that I will take the WWE Championship away from you at Extreme Rules! If you manage to beat me, then fine, but I'm going to give it my absolute all and do my best to live up to my word. So don't be getting too cocky." He throws his microphone down and the two stare down once again, the theme music of Jack Swagger hits, as Hardy adjusts his arm bands to get ready for his first match back - next!
Jeff Hardy defeats Jack Swagger via pinfall The bell rings and Swagger immediately picks Hardy up and slams him into the corner, pounding him with shoulders to the gut. He takes it to the mat and locks in some holds and gets a couple of near falls. He gets frustrated and forces Hardy up, going for a clothesline only for Jeff to duck underneath it and deliver the Poetry in Motion. Hardy beings a huge swing of momentum and knocks Swagger down over and over again. He eventually sets up for the Swanton Bomb only for Swagger to rush up the ropes and hit a giant belly to belly suplex. Swagger continues some control and goes for the Gut Wrench Powerbomb only for Hardy to slip free and nail the Twist of Fate! He proceeds to go to the top rope, hit the Swanton and get the pinfall.
Hardy hops up onto his feet with a smile and looks up the ramp at Punk, motioning for the WWE Championship. Punk raises his eyebrows and laughs as Hardy climbs onto the second turnbuckle, working the crowd up some more while continuing to motion for the belt around his waist. Punk just shakes his head and throws the belt over his shoulder before headed to the back.
The cameras cut backstage to Matt Striker and he introduces his guests at his time to be the WWE Tag Team Champions, The Usos. He thanks them for their time and congratulates them on their victory over Bryan Danielson and Dolph Ziggler last week on Smackdown and asks about going forth tonight to defend the belts against The Kings of Wrestling. The duo thank him for the congratulations on their win before Jimmy continues. "These guys think that they are still better than us when we not only beat them at WrestleMania but beat them just two weeks ago! Sure, they got a little singles match victory but, come on, man. That doesn't prove a thing." Jey agrees with the statement and adjusts his title belt, "We're the tag team champions for a reason, Matt. Are Antonio Cesaro and Kassius Ohno talented? Yeah. But are they the WWE Tag Team Champions? Nah. Tonight, we plan on keeping these babies." He pats the belt and the two head off.
Returning, Dean Ambrose's music hits and the United States Champion makes his way out from the back and he holds the belt up over his head. He gets to the ring and takes a microphone, standing in the middle of the squared circle. "Well, well, well... look at this... we're here in London, England." He spits at the mat and gets some heat following a short cheer, "I'm the United States Champion and guess what? Nobody from your stupid country can say they represent it with a title of their own! Hahaha!" He steps towards the ropes and all of a sudden the theme song of Wade Barrett hits! The England crowd roars as Barrett makes his way from the back and steps towards the ring. He gets in and takes a microphone of his own and stares Ambrose down. "You want to insult my country, Dean? Huh? You want to insult my people!? Let me tell you something, mate." He steps closer and stands over Ambrose, "I won the WWE Championship just a couple of years ago and I represented the United Kingdom very, very well. You're unaccomplished and I'll squander you right here, right now!" He throws the microphone down and Ambrose gets fired up, storming around the ring as a referee gets to the ring, Ambrose handing his belt off as it appears we are going to have a match.
Wade Barrett defeats United States Champion Dean Ambrose via pinfall in a non-title match As soon as the bell rings, the crowd begins to chant 'Lets Go Barrett' and he starts to send Ambrose to the mat repeatedly with clotheslines. He gets a couple of near falls and Ambrose comes firing back, hitting a huge DDT that sends momentum in his favor. He starts to trash talk the crowd and ends up hitting the Headlock Driver. He gives a cocky laugh to the crowd and goes for the pin, only for Barrett to power out at two! The crowd gets re-energized as Ambrose tries to keep Barrett down, only for him to get up and push him back off the ropes and catch him with an absolutely vicious big boot on the comeback. Barrett continues to come in with momentum until Ambrose slips off his shoulders. He flies off the ropes and comes running back only for Barrett to catch him with the Bullhammer! The England crowd continues to cheer on their fellow Englishman as he lets Dean get back up before hitting The Wasteland! He hooks both legs for the three.
Barrett rises onto his feet and clamps his fist into his palm, giving a yell to the crowd. He pumps both his fists in the air and continues to work the London crowd over as Ambrose stays laid out on the mat. Barrett heads over to the ropes and takes the United States Championship from ring side, placing it over his shoulder and patting it a bit before throwing it right over Dean's downed body. He heads out of the ring and goes to the top of the ramp, giving a final salute to his home crowd before heading to the back.
The cameras cut away to the back to show John Cena walking down the halls, as he will be speaking when we come back!
Returning, the English crowd is looked over and the theme of John Cena hits, the crowd exploding in a mix of cheers and boos. Cena makes his way out from the back and marches right across the stage, looking out all around the arena. He goes back and forth a few times before giving a salute, rushing down to the ring. "Well, well, well London! You've all had yourself a hell of a time tonight, I know it because I've been hearing how loud you've been getting since the start of the show!" He gives a smile and steps around a bit before getting a little more serious. He mentions how two weeks in a row now, he has been left in the ring laid out by Roman Reigns. "Now, last week on Raw Triple H himself said to me he had nothing to do with Roman Reigns. He said it was all Paul Heyman and Roman Reigns and that Triple H had no involvement. Yet, just the night before Reigns debuted I was screwed out of my WWE Championship by that man... Triple H. So you can all understand why I'm a little uneasy about this, right? I don't know for a fact that Triple H is the reason why I'm getting attacked and I probably never will knowing that the three guys that can tell me all can't stand me in the slightest." He shrugs his shoulders and scratches his head, putting his hand back down on his hip before looking up the ramp way, "So if Triple H wants to surprise me one more time and tell me the absolute truth, then why doesn't he come on down to this ring right now and do just that?" Cena takes a few more steps before the COO's music hits.
Triple H makes his way out from the back to some strong heat and slowly brings himself down to the ring with a very unhappy look across his face. He takes a microphone from ringside and stares Cena down, stopping him from talking before he gets started. "You need to take a good look at yourself, John, and understand that the reason why people are targeting you and people don't like you is because you continue to trash talk. You think you're a good all around guy because you go against all the guys that these people boo a lot. But the thing that makes you the biggest nuisance to me, John, is that you continue to bring up these conspiracy theories... you keep on disrespecting me, you keep on disrespecting my wife, you keep on disrespecting my family by not listening to the same answer I keep on giving you: I have nothing to do with Roman Reigns. I have nothing to do with Paul Heyman. What I did at WrestleMania was a one time thing and I explained to you that it was best for business and nothing personal but because you have made this personal by insulting me, John, I'll make not only an executive and business decision... but a personal decision... later on tonight, you will face three different men in a gauntlet match." The two stare down as Cena begins to laugh, asking Triple H if making personal decisions are really what is best for business. He says he'll do battle tonight, because he never backs down from a fight. "But let clear up something, Hunter... I do battle against the guys these people boo because I fight for these people. And I'm pretty damn sure they were booing you on your way out here." He drops the microphone as the crowd gives a loud 'ooh' as he heads out of the ring, leaving Triple H standing in the middle of the ring in frustration. John Cena will run the gauntlet later tonight here on Raw.
Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins defeats Rey Mysterio via pinfall in a non-title match The match begins witht both men going back and forth early on and Mysterio sending Rollins to the mat multiple times before the Intercontinental Champion escapes from the ring. He avoids Mysterio a couple of times before dropping him with a clothesline. He works him a bit outside before getting abck in the ring, getting a couple of near falls before applying a sleeper hold. Mysterio manages to feed off the crowd a bit and gets back to his feet, getting free. He swings momentum in his favor and eventually sets up for the 619, hitting the feet to the face. Rollins catches him on the springboard, however, and drops him with a huge powerbomb. Rey stirs back up and is blasted with the superkick! Rollins hooks both legs up for the three count.
Rollins staggers back up onto his feet and raises his fists up in victory. He takes his title belt from the referee and starts to move towards the ropes, only to turn and see Mysterio starting to stir. He charges right at him and drops him with a vicious boot to the face! He mounts over Mysterio and starts to fire away with strike after strike. The crowd gets a little loud with cheers, though, as John Morrirson comes storming down from the back - taking Rollins down to the mat! He starts to fire away with shots until Rollins turns it over. They continue to go back and forth until Rollins rolls out of the ring, quickly making his way around the ring and towards the ramp. Morrison scoops the Intercontinental Championship up, raises it in the air and tosses it over the ropes in front of Seth. He turns back to Mysterio and checks down on him as Rollins slowly backs his way up the ramp with the title belt clutched close to his chest.
Returning, a promo video airs for WWE's Be A Star program featuring the likes of John Cena, Bryan Danielson, Kaitlyn and Sheamus.
AJ Lee defeats Layla with Diva's Champion Kaitlyn via submission The bell sounds and Layla gets a little bit of offense in early but AJ begins to fight back and takes absolute control of the match. She sends Layla down multiple times and doesn't let her get back into the match and eventually drops her with an absolutely vicious Shining Wizard. She proceeds to lock her in the Black Widow and get the submission.
AJ continues to keep the hold locked on and Kaitlyn comes into the ring, forcing AJ to break it. The two stare down and AJ gives a big laugh, Kaitlyn jumping right at her only for Lee to slip out of the ring and back away slowly. She gives a wave to the Diva's Champion and starts to skip around the ring before headed up the ramp. Kaitlyn checks down on Layla while staring up the ramp at AJ, whom just gives another wave and makes her way to the back - a statement made tonight with her dominant victory.
The cameras head backstage to Matt Striker and introduces his guest at this time to be Big E Langston. He thanks him for his time and congratulates him on his singles win last week on Smackdown, and then proceeds to ask what really made him leave the side Kofi Kingston. "What made me leave the side of Kofi Kingston? As if it wasn't obvious, Matt. Last week on Raw he came out here and he insulted me. He acted like in the months we were a team that he did everything when in reality it was all me. Look, Kofi was a World Heavyweight Champion and I decided it would be helpful to me to pair up with him. Unfortunately, he was nothing but a cocky punk with nothing to show for it. All he did was talk about the past and never show the future. It's time for Big E to show what he has on his own." As he prepares to walk off, Kofi Kingston walks up and stares Big E down. He questions the comment about talking about the past and never showing the future. "Well guess what, Big E? Tonight, I'm going to face John Cena in that gauntlet and I'm gonna beat him. Then you'll regret ever getting away from me." He heads off, Big E laughing.
Returning, Mark Henry and Sheamus make their way out from the back together and come down to the ring. Henry takes a microphone and speaks up, "Myself and Sheamus are putting our differences aside after what has gone down the past two weeks! Big Show, you dumb, boy. Attacking the World's Strongest Man and the Celtic Warrior not once, but twice!? Now you got yourself not one, but two big problems." He hands the mic off to Sheamus, whom agrees. "Aye, fella, you be making one mistake by going after just one of us. But instead you go ahead and target the both of us. Now we want you to come down to this ring while we at full strength and get your arse handed to ya!" He pulls his arm to his side and the two stare up the ramp in anticipation, only for the signature of The Wyatt Family to hit. The crowd gets a little rambunctious as the trio appear on the titantron with a lantern illuminating their faces.
Bray gives a chuckle and leans his head back, "Ten little soldier boys went out to dine; One choked his little self and then there were nine... they march forward, my friends, they march..." He gives another sinister laugh and looks down upon the ring, "The battle... the battle took place as three took on three. Two of them! Two of them defied! One of them, however, accepted. One of them... gave themselves up for the greater good of their being. The other two, though, no... no, man! They did not! They continued to fight and they may of had some disagreements among each other but now they stand before us ready to put up their muskets and march into war once again! Hahaha..." Sheamus and Henry remain in the ring confused of the crazy talk of Wyatt as Harper leans forward. "You thought you could win the battle and stop the war. Yet it has only begun." Wyatt gives another smile as Harper backs away, "Now one has become a part of us, my friends." Lastly, Rowan leans in front of all three and gives a warning 'so run!', the signature hitting once again as the lights remain completely out.
The lights come back on in the arena after a few moments, The Wyatt Family standing on the apron with Big Show in front of them inside wearing beat up, dirty clothing to match Harper and Rowan. The England crowd boos as Henry and Sheamus look to each other in confusion. They turn forward and rush up to Show, trading blows with him. Harper and Rowan come into the ring and join in the battle, the trio overpowering the World's Strongest Man and Celtic Warrior. They beat them down in the corners before feeding them to Show to hit the Knockout Punch on both. Bray Wyatt enters the ring and leans himself in the corner per usual before turning back, stepping forward to hit the Sister Abigail on both Henry and Sheamus. He rises onto his knees before getting onto his feet to Show, spreading his arms out. The World's Largest Athlete backs to the middle of the ring before dropping onto one knee before Wyatt, whom gives a very loud laugh to the booing 02 Arena. The signature of the group hits once again, leading to the commercial break.
The Usos defeat The Kings of Wrestling via pinfall to retain the WWE Tag Team Championships The match starts off with Cesaro and Jimmy and they transition back and forth with momentum swings early, each making frequent tags with their partners. Things come to a sudden halt as Cesaro hits a huge uppercut to Jey after tossing him high up in the air. He gets a near fall and proceeds to keep momentum in his favor until Jey sends him through the ropes and lands a huge splash over the top rope. A commercial break interrupts halfway through the match and upon the return, Ohno is in control of the match over Jey. He gets a couple of near falls himself and ends up going for a stalling suplex that allows Jey to slip free and tag in Jimmy. The brothers start to make frequent tags back and forth and dominate until Cesaro is tagged in and comes in with a hard clothesline. He proceeds to give the Cesaro Swing and flexes his muscles afterward. Ohno comes charging into the ring and goes after Jey in the corner only for the ropes to get pulled down. He hops into the ring, ducks a shot from Cesaro and hits him with a hard superkick! He helps Jimmy back up and Jey bounces off the ropes, rushing across before diving right over to take Ohno out on the outside! Jimmy delivers the Big Splash from the top rope on Antonio and hooks both legs up for the three count.
Jey hops up onto his feet on the outside and pumps his fists up high in the air. He hops into the ring and hugs his brother as the referee retrieves the tag team title belts, handing them off to The Usos. They march around the ring and pump the titles up to the fans, getting them to chant their name in broken parts back and forth. Cesaro slowly rolls out of the ring to Ohno and the duo back up the ramp in frustration with their loss as The Usos continue on with their celebration as they are still the WWE Tag Team Champions.
Returning, a promo video airs with ballroom dance music. Flashing and bright colors go about before a curtain appears, opening up to reveal "Fandango" and "Soon" beneath it.
Cody Rhodes with Goldust defeats Damien Sandow via pinfall As soon as the bell goes off, Sandow comes rushing forward and sends Rhodes into the corner. He fires away with shots to the stomach and sends him down to the mat and goes for the pin, only for Rhodes to push out. He gets to his feet and gets some momentum going. He goes for the Disaster Kick only for Sandow to duck underneath it and blast him with a hard clothesline. He knocks him down a few times before missing the signature elbow. Rhodes gets back in the match and finally finishes it off with the Cross Rhodes. He hooks both legs up for the three.
Cody rises up onto his feet and his brother soon joins him in the ring, only for their celebration to be interrupted by Randy Orton. The Viper comes out to the ramp with a microphone in his hands and stares down at the ring as Rhodes and Goldust move to the ropes to stare him down. "Congratulations on your win, Cody, but let me just remind you that at Extreme Rules we will not be doing battle in a simple little match like you just had. Not a simple match like we had at WrestleMania, no! We will have yourselves a Texas Bullrope match. So let me remind you... just what that is like." He points up at the titantron and footage proceeds to air from Orton's match with Dusty Rhodes back in 2007, with Orton beating Dusty down with the cowbell viciously. Back in the arena, the brothers stand in the ring in fury over the footage as Orton gives a big smile before making his way to the back.
Returning, the theme music of Bryan Danielson hits and the World Heavyweight Champion makes his way out to the top of the stage with a smile across his face. He pumps his index finger in the air and gets the crowd going with 'Yes!' chants. He clutches a microphone and pulls it up slowly, "Well, the news is coming down on Smackdown this week as to who seemed to impress more last week between myself and Dolph Ziggler... and who will ultimately get to choose the stipulation for our rematch at Extreme Rules for the World Heavyweight Championship. Now, when I had to team with Dolph I wasn't too excited about it and did I possibly cost him the match by hitting him with a running knee? Yes!" The crowd breaks out into chants and he gives a big laugh. "But did I feel like I did enough to impress Stephanie McMahon and the other executives at the same time!? Yes!" The crowd continues on and he gives a nod, going to say more only for Ziggler to come rushing out from the back and send him to the floor with a clothesline! He stomps down on Danielson's downed body and yells at him. Multiple referees comes running out to stop him but Ziggler just drags Danielson onto his feet and drops him with the Zig Zag right down on the steel stage! The London crowd boos loudly as Ziggler gets onto his feet, scooping the title belt off the floor and raising it up to the crowd. "This is mine! I'm the show off!" He throws the belt down before making his way to the back, the referees left checking down on Bryan.
The cameras cut backstage to Matt Striker and he introduces his guest at this time to be John Cena. He thanks him for his time and asks about having to run the gauntlet here tonight on Raw. "Well, to no surprise we got ourselves a good old fashion gauntlet match! It is no surprise because when Triple H gets to make a call for once, he does what is in his own personal interest. He may say it is best for business but we all know it is personal! So tonight, I may end up facing two guys... I could end up facing seven! Who knows! Maybe I'll be like the movie 300!" He gives a smile and pats Striker on the back, "It doesn't matter though, Matt, how many men I have to go through. Because at the end of the day my goal is going to be to put up a fight! I'm going to show Triple H what I am made of and I am going to do whatever it takes to throw it all back in his face! Let's go!" He heads off, the gauntlet match up next!
Returning, John Cena makes his entrance and gets down to the ring in preparation for his match. The music of Triple H hits and the COO brings himself out to the stage with a microphone in his hands. "Well, John, here we are! So let me introduce your first opponent in this here gauntlet... a former World Heavyweight Champion, Kofi Kingston."
John Cena defeats Kofi Kingston via submission The bell rings and the two go back and forth early on, Cena overpowering Kingston after just a short battle. He sends him down to the mat with a hard arm drag and works him for a couple of minutes. He gets a couple of near falls and Kingston gets back into it, hitting some hard kicks. He hits a springboard clothesline and gets a near fall of his own. Kingston gets frustrated and starts to fire away with punches to Cena, getting too fired up. He begins to argue with the official and it allows Cena to come back with a hard spinout powerbomb. He delivers the Five Knuckle Shuffle, lets Kingston get up and hits him with the Attitude Adjustment. Instead of going for the pin, however, he takes a hold of the leg and spins Kofi over for the STF - Kingston tapping out after just a short struggle.
Cena rises back up onto his feet and pumps his fists in the air. He steps around the ring a few times before motioning for Triple H to bring it on. The COO laughs and pulls his microphone up, "Well done, John. Now, this next man you've faced a few times before and you may have defeated him but he is quite the opponent... Ryback!"
John Cena defeats Ryback via pinfall The bell sounds and the two lock up, Ryback using all of his strength to push him into the corner. He overpowers Cena for a couple of minutes and seems to have a chance to win. He delivers a huge Meat Hook Clothesline and Cena is left laid out on the mat, a commercial break interrupting. Upon the return, Ryback remains in control of the match and keeps Cena in hard locks and holds in the corner and in the middle of the ring. He gets some momentum going and goes for another clothesline only for Cena to duck underneath, hit off the ropes and return with the hard shoulder block! He goes for the Attitude Adjustment but Ryback slips free, hits off the ropes and returns with the Meat Hook. He works Cena for a couple more minutes before setting him up for Shell Shocked, only for Cena to get free and send him down after a few shots and a leaping forearm to the face. He gets fired up and hits the Five Knuckle Shuffle, letting Ryback get up before dropping him with the AA! The crowd pops as Cena goes for the pin, only to get a two count. Both men get up again and continue to go back and forth a bit more before Cena ducks underneath the Meat Hook, lifts Ryback onto his shoulders and hits the Attitude Adjustment right in the middle of the ring! He hooks both legs up and gets the three count.
Cena rolls onto his back and pumps one fist in the air in victory as Ryback slowly rolls out of the ring. John begins to get onto his hands and knees and looks up the ramp as Triple H gives a smile. "Wow, John, you're really impressing me. I got one more match for you though, pal... one more match against the man you're going to face at Extreme Rules in an Extreme Rules match... Roman! Reigns!" He backs up as Reigns and Heyman make their way out from the back and towards the ring, Reigns stopping outside of it. He gets in slowly and stands over Cena.
John Cena defeats Roman Reigns via disqualification The bell tolls as Cena gets onto his feet and puts both his fists up. Reigns gives a laugh as Cena comes forward, getting blasted with a clothesline. Reigns picks Cena back up and tosses him out of the ring after hitting him shoulder first into the steel post. He steps out and looks to Heyman, whom tosses him a steel chair. The referee warns Reigns but he doesn't listen. He steps forward to Cena and lets him get up before measuring up. He whips the chair back and swings it right across the spine of Cena! The official calls for the bell as the WWE Universe boos.
The crowd continues to boo as Reigns continues to drop the chair across Cena's spine. He puts it in a sitting position and drags Cena back up onto his feet, lifting him up in position for a bear hug. He rushes to the steel post and slams Cena's back across it before letting him drop down to the floor. He gives a laugh and looks to Heyman for instruction. He gives a nod and drags Cena back up, only to get a huge shot to the stomach! Cena begins to fire away and rocks Reigns the best he can. He slams his head off the apron and then tosses him back against the barricade. Reigns charges forward with a clothesline attempt, Cena scooping the chair up and jamming it into the ribs! He continues to pump away with the chair into the chest and pushes him back around the ring, Heyman pleading with him to stop. Cena turns to Heyman and threatens to hit him with it before turning to Reigns and blasting him with one huge shot across the back! Cena tosses the chair down and pulls the top of the announce table off, removing the monitors. He gives a yell to the crowd as Reigns staggers back up, Cena lifting him on to his shoulders! He looks around the arena and waves a "You Can't See Me!" to Heyman before delivering the Attitude Adjustment right through the announce table! Cena stomps around and throws his hands up and down, getting the crowd even more wild. He hops into the ring and rushes all around the ring, continuing on with it as Heyman checks down on his client on the outside in worry. Cena climbs onto the second turnbuckle and raises up his hands with his signature symbol while giving a big smile to Heyman. Monday Night Raw from England comes to an end.

John Cena vs Roman Reigns in an Extreme Rules Match at Extreme Rules, that match will be as physical as they come and not only that I see it probably being one of the best matches on the card probably this match even ends up stealing the show considering Cena is perhaps one of the greatest of all time and he is going up against Reigns probably one of the fastest rising stars in WWE right now in your diary and not to mention he is a "Paul Heyman Guy" but he is also a 2nd generation superstar he is the son of WWE Hall of Famer one half of the Wild Samoans Sika of the Wild Samoans and also the business is in his blood too so seeing him go up against Cena I see this Match potentially being Match of the Year or at least being in consideration for it
Triple H he is connected to this somehow, because let's face it Triple H he doesn't want Cena as "The Face of the WWE" and he probably wants to go in a new direction as far as the company goes so he has specifically targeted Cena and why? Because he has been the face of the company ever since after WrestleMania 21 ever since 2005 Cena has always been the one and Triple H can't stand it and why? Because deep down Triple H knows Cena is better than him always has been and probably always will be and the fact that Cena has surpassed Triple H too that is why Triple H can't stand it because he's jealous of Cena let's face it
Cena running the gauntlet and actually beating Kofi and Ryback, I expected that but against Reigns yes he may have won by DQ but Reigns has softened Cena up before their match at Extreme Rules but seeing Cena lay out Reigns and Heyman after the match to close out the show, I can't argue with that but I see Reigns beating Cena at Extreme Rules in an upset victory
Danielson vs Ziggler for the World Heavyweight Championship at Extreme Rules, this feud has seemingly become more and more personal especially with Ziggler attacking Danielson the way he did softening him up before Extreme Rules I would say Dolph has all the momentum now heading into Extreme Rules and we could be looking at the new World Heavyweight Champion but with that said I see Danielson somehow gaining momentum back in his favor but I am just waiting in anticipation especially when it comes to this match stipulation as far as Extreme Rules goes, I still see it either being a Ladder Match, I Quit Match, Submission Match, or a 2 Out of 3 Falls Match but either way this will be the final encounter between these 2 men at Extreme Rules at least I hope so
Cody Rhodes beating Damien Sandow, I would definitely say now he has all the momentum heading into his match at Extreme Rules against Randy Orton especially in the Texas Bullrope Match but Orton he has shown us just how dangerous and just how remorseless he can be but also that he has been in a Texas Bullrope Match whereas Cody has not but showing the footage of the match he had against Cody's father in 2007 in that Texas Bullrope Match at the Great American Bash was a nice touch though, but Cody I wonder if he even knows what he's getting into but with Orton I see him beating Rhodes at Extreme Rules to even up the score between them and considering Extreme Rules is in Orton's hometown of St. Louis no doubt Orton is going to be cheered so much even considering that he is a heel I still see him getting cheered regardless whereas Cody Rhodes is entering enemy territory in St. Louis where he will be booed especially against the hometown boy Orton
Fandango vignette I am so stoked, I can't wait until Fandango shows up with Summer Rae and the 2 of them make their debuts, Fandango I see him showing up either after Extreme Rules or after your May pay per view
Now that The Usos have retained their WWE Tag Team Championships by beating the Kings of Wrestling Cesaro and Ohno it makes me wonder just which team will step up next to try to beat The Usos for those very titles but I wonder where The Kings of Wrestling go from here especially after losing their titles at Mania and then losing their rematch against The Usos, will this lead to Cesaro turning on Ohno? Or Ohno turning on Cesaro? Or just the both of them going their separate ways?
Big Show joining the Wyatt Family, I honestly thought that I would never ever see the day he would join them much less even associate himself with Wyatt, Harper and Rowan but with Big Show joining their family, will anyone be able to stop The Wyatt Family now especially now that they have Big Show in their ranks? Big Show helping the Wyatt Family to destroy both Sheamus and Henry, this new Wyatt Family with Big Show in tow they can essentially take over the WWE now especially considering they have 4 members now since Big Show is now their newest member, or I have to wonder if Big Show is doing what Daniel Bryan did, if Big Show is joining them to break them down from the inside?
AJ Lee continues to gain momentum by beating Layla, I would say that Kaitlyn her title reign as WWE Divas Champion especially now is in serious jeopardy especially with AJ setting her sights back on that very title and not to mention since she broke away from Beth Phoenix and Natalya I would say AJ has seemingly gotten better and better and she definitely in my eyes has got to be the #1 Contender now especially for that very title and I could see her facing Kaitlyn at Extreme Rules but once she locks in that Black Widow submission it is almost hard to get out of it, and I have a feeling she will make Kaitlyn tap out but all Kaitlyn has to do is use that Ronda Rousey armbar submission to make AJ tap out but I wonder if she will use that as her finisher now?
Big E. Langston I see him beating Kofi at Extreme Rules because Big E. at the moment he just has more going for him whereas Kofi he doesn't, but also Big E. he has shown us why he has seemingly become better than Kofi ever since turning face and leaving Kofi but Kofi I wonder what he will do to get momentum back in his favor as far as this feud goes?
Seth Rollins beating Rey Mysterio isn't a huge shocker but seeing Morrison turn up yet again, it makes me wonder if Morrison vs Rollins will indeed happen at Extreme Rules and if their match ends up being for the WWE Intercontinental Championship? Because if that does happen then I could see their match being added to the card very soon but their feud I can just see it heating up more
Wade Barrett, could this be a face turn for Barrett? Could Barrett be turning babyface? If this is the case then Wade Barrett I could actually see him as a babyface considering he has been heel for so long ever since he came into the WWE and not to mention this man in your diary he is a former WWE Champion this man was the leader of The Nexus leader of the Corre and now by turning face I wonder if we could be in for a Wade Barrett main event push soon? If that is the case then I am all for that but seeing Barrett vs Ambrose, their match was a great match but I see these 2 going at it again with the WWE United States Championship being on the line and if that happens then I see that match happening at Extreme Rules during the pre-show
Jeff Hardy's first match back in a WWE ring, his first match back on RAW, his first match back in WWE in almost 4 years and it looks like Hardy hasn't missed a single step at all, he looked so "in-form" especially against Jack Swagger by beating Swagger almost effortlessly that he looks like he could beat Punk at Extreme Rules for the WWE Championship but I don't think he will, I see Punk retaining his WWE Championship inside the Steel Cage at Extreme Rules but Punk I see him having a match either on RAW or on Smackdown
Here is hoping Jeff Hardy has his first match back in a Smackdown ring, and he ends up having a match on Smackdown this Thursday
Here's a thought, a Champion vs Champion match in the main event on either a RAW or Smackdown episode with the WWE Champion CM Punk facing the World Heavyweight Champion Bryan Danielson, Jeff Hardy taking on Dolph Ziggler, John Cena taking on Randy Orton, and Roman Reigns taking on Cody Rhodes
Other matches I would propose would be the WWE Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins taking on Wade Barrett, the WWE United States Champion Dean Ambrose taking on John Morrison, and The Wyatt Family all 4 members Wyatt, Show, Rowan and Harper to take on Henry, Sheamus, and the WWE Tag Team Champions The Usos in an 8-man Tag Team Match
And or you could have Kofi Kingston take on Christian and have Big E. take on Ryback

| MR. KENNEDY SPEAKS OUT: "I'M NOT RETURNING" | KING OF THE RING POSSIBLY RETURNING | RUMOR: KANE COULD POSSIBLY RETURN IN 2013 | After his contract expired last July, there was some speculation that Mr. Kennedy would just be on a short absence and come back to the WWE in the future. Kennedy has spoken a few times over the months in between then and now, stating that he has had considered coming back to the company and making yet another return. Kennedy recently spoke to a local Wisconsin radio station while the WWE is off overseas for their annual post-WrestleMania tour over there. Kennedy was asked by the station if any more thought had been given to him possibly returning to the WWE after his last interview went with him being uncertain.
"I'm not returning," Kennedy would state on the air. "Nah, I'm not returning. I've been thinking a very, very long time about it now and I finally said to myself... 'Hey, Ken, if you haven't decided to bring yourself back now, you're probably not going to go back now'. Well, I guess I'm not coming back. Not in the near future anyway. I had my chance, it went by, I got a call last around January and now I just think my mind is made up. Maybe one day I can go back again but right now? That ain't the time to step back in the ring."
Kennedy would go forward in the interview by saying that his time with the WWE in his second stint went very well and that was what really kept him thinking. | According to multiple reports, there have been many internal discussions regarding bringing back the King of the Ring tournament and making the July pay per view event be hosting it. As of right now, a new pay per view by the name of Battleground is set to take place in June (which is when King of the Ring was always held when it was a pay per view) but nonetheless, fans have been pleading for KOTR to become a consistent event over the years, and it shouldn't be much of a problem to many if it takes place at a different time of the year for once.
The reports that are stating that King of the Ring could end up taking place this July are also stating that the winner of the event would end up receiving a World Heavyweight or WWE Championship title shot at Summerslam. Along with that, it would end up replacing the Night of Champions pay per view more than likely due to Money in the Bank still being planned to be taking place in September. However, some of the reports are stating that there is a chance the WWE and World Heavyweight Championships could end up being unified in the near future and the WWE has considered using Night of Champions in July in order to culminate the big event with the unification match fittingly on the card. As there is not much time before July, we can expect clarity soon.
| Back at Summerslam in 2011, Kane faced his 'brother' The Undertaker in a Hell in a Cell match. Following this match up, Kane disappeared from WWE television and has never re-surfaced. There were multiple reports that The Big Red Machine had retired, but nothing had ever became official. Since the end of that year, there has been very little surfacing on Kane, let alone the idea of him returning to the ring. However, there have been recent rumors coming out that Kane could be making a return this year. Although it has been nearly two years since he has appeared in a ring, Kane has always been known for being rather durable. As with just about every WWE superstar, he has had his times spent away from the business due to injury but he has never seemed to be put down for significant time.
According to reports back when Kane, whom will turn 46 later in the week, had been announced to have his match with Undertaker at Summerslam 2011, he had been dealing with a knee injury and had surgery after the event. With his health uncertain, a big feud was scheduled with the possibility of his retirement. The question being asked is if his knee injury was a lot more serious than originally thought and if that was what kept him out of the ring since the match. The rumors are swirling now, however, and it appears possible that Kane could be returning after two years. |

Kennedy since he isn't returning he didn't rule out the possibility of a return either by saying that one day he could come back again but for right now he is stepping away, that definitely means to me that he could return at some point and if he does it will be when we least expect it
But as for the WWE and World Heavyweight Championships being unified, it is about time that the titles are unified so here is hoping you finally go through with it, and the perfect time to do it would be at Night of Champions
But I love that you are bringing back King of the Ring again but the perfect time to have King of the Ring would be in July and Night of Champions in September with Money in the Bank being in October, that is just what I would do if I were in your shoes but hey that's your choice
I hope Kane returns in 2013 and with Kane returning, the perfect pay per view for Kane to make his shocking return would be in November at Survivor Series returning after 2 years with Kane having an Undertaker-like run in the sense that he returns as a part-timer and only has like 1, 2, or 3 matches a year giving him a light schedule like Taker and that Kane only shows up for big PPVs like WrestleMania, SummerSlam and or Survivor Series

April 25, 2013 from the 02 Arena in London, England
The opening video for Smackdown airs and the cameras head into the 02 Arena right after, Michael Cole and Josh Mathews welcoming everybody to the show live from London, England! Tonight, Jeff Hardy will make his return to Smackdown and be in action against Ryback! Also, Stephanie McMahon will be announcing who will get to name the stipulation for the World Heavyweight Championship match between Dolph Ziggler and Bryan Danielson. All this and more from London, England!
The crowd is looked over and Tony Chimel proceeds to welcome WWE Commissioner, Stephanie McMahon. The crowd gives a solid response as she makes her way out to the top of the stage. She holds her microphone up and thanks everyone for the reception. "Last week here on Smackdown I made the announcement that Bryan Danielson and Dolph Ziggler would have to team up, albeit their disregard for one another, and face The Usos. Whomever impressed myself and the board of directors would earn the privilege of deciding what the stipulation would be in their World Heavyweight Championship match at Extreme Rules. So without further ado, let me make the announcement as to which of those two men happened to impress us the most in that match." She prepares to make the announcement but the theme music of Dolph Ziggler hits. The WWE Universe boos as he brings himself out to the top of the stage with a microphone of his own, giving a smile to Stephanie - whom just glares back at him, unhappy about the interruption. Ziggler pulls his microphone up and tells Stephanie to hold on just a moment. "Before you make the final decision, Steph, let me just remind you that last week here on Smackdown I was getting ready to win this match when Bryan rushed in and attacked me! Attacked his own partner! He made me lose that match and I shouldn't have... you know it, I know it, he knows it and all these people know it! Whether they want to admit it or not is a different story but before you make the wrong decision..." The two continue to stare down but before anything more can be said, Bryan Danielson's music hits and the World Heavyweight Champion brings himself out to the stage. He gets the crowd going and worked up with the 'Yes!' chants. He looks to Ziggler and the duo stare down. Bryan holds a microphone of his own and prepares to speak up.
"Did I cost Dolph Ziggler the match last week? Yes!" He laughs as the crowd continues to respond. He continues on, "Look, Dolph, I would have been completely fine with you getting the win last week... but what you did, man, wasn't cool. You used a low blow to try and get the win over two guys that deserve a lot of respect in Jimmy and Jey Uso. So what did I do? I did what was right! I did what was right for these people and I hit you with the running knee. Now, that may have cost me the opportunity to name our stipulation at Extreme Rules but I don't care. I'll beat you in any way I possibly can because it is what these people want, isn't it!?" They respond with very loud 'Yes!' chants once again as Ziggler and Danielson stare down. Stephanie gets in between the two of them and tells Bryan to hold on just a moment. "I happen to agree with you, Bryan, actually... and at Extreme Rules it will be you versus Dolph Ziggler and you, Mr. Danielson, impressed myself and the board of directors with your actions last week and will name the stipulation for your match." The WWE Universe pops and Ziggler immediately begins to argue with Stephanie, but instead she turns her back and walks off. Ziggler starts to yell at Bryan but he laughs and tells Ziggler to calm down. "Like I said before, Dolph... I'll beat you in any type of match. But I also respect and appreciate the decision of Stephanie and the board. But if you really got a problem with it, I tell you what. Tonight, you can pick anybody you want to be my opponent tonight! If they can beat me, you can name the stipulation for our match. How does that sound? Will it make you stop crying?" He gives a smile as Ziggler nods, heading towards the back while biting his lip. Danielson turns back to the crowd and pumps his fingers in the air, leading the 'Yes!' chants once again as he will be in action later tonight!
Returning, the commentary team announces that Stephanie McMahon has granted the challenge by Bryan and Dolph Ziggler will choose his opponent for later on tonight, and if Ziggler's choice is victorious - Dolph will get to be the one to name the stipulation for the World Heavyweight Championship match at Extreme Rules.
WWE Tag Team Champions The Usos defeat The Prime Time Players via pinfall in a non-title match The match begins with Jimmy starting off with Young. The two go back and forth with some fast paced action with Jimmy eventually getting the upper hand, leading to some tags back and forth along with his brother. The Usos get a couple of near falls before Young hits a huge clothesline. He makes the hot tag to O'Neill and he charges in, using his strength to get the momentum swaying in favor of the Prime Time Players. Titus misses a big boot on Jey, however, and it allows Jimmy to hit a superkick followed up by a splash off the top rope by Jey. Jimmy keeps distance to make sure Young doesn't break up the pin, allowing Jey to hook both legs up for the pinfall.
The Usos get back up onto their feet together and embrace, raising their fists in the air in victory. They get the crowd worked up a bit before Young comes into the ring, checking down on his partner. Jimmy and Jey stay back with their title belts at first before helping Titus to his feet, shaking hands with the Prime Time Players. They talk things over a little bit before the PTP exit the ring, allowing the WWE Tag Team Champions to continue their celebration over their victory. Just as the duo start to head towards the ropes, however, the Kings of Wrestling appear on the titantron telling them to stop the celebration. Ohno speaks up, telling The Usos that they aren't done fighting for what belongs to them. Cesaro agrees, "We are the best tag team in wrestling. Therefore, we deserve to be WWE Tag Team Champions... not you two." Ohno continues on, saying that no matter what it takes, they will stand together and get their belts back. The Usos stand in the ring still, laughing with each other. They raise the belts over their heads, showing that no matter what is said - they are indeed the champions.
Returning, Kofi Kingston's music hits and he brings himself out to some heat from the crowd for the second week in a row. He brings himself down to the commentary table and puts on the headset, the commentary team welcoming him before questioning his words this past Monday to Big E Langston. A replay airs with Kingston telling Langston that he would go on to face John Cena in the gauntlet later in the night and be victorious, only to be defeated. Kingston tells the commentary team that Cena's win was a fluke and nothing to be concerned about.
Big E Langston defeats Jack Swagger via pinfall The bell sounds and Swagger rushes right at Langston, only to get blasted with a heavy clothesline. Langston overpowers Swagger for a couple of minutes before getting caught up staring at Kingston. Swagger takes advantage and hits a huge forearm to the back of the knee. He proceeds to work the leg of Big E for a little while and swings momentum his way. He goes for an ankle lock but Langston rolls through, slamming Jack shoulder first into the steel post. Langston pops up onto his feet and drops Swagger with a couple of clotheslines and a few powerslams before pulling the straps down from his gear. He flexes to Kingston before turning back to Swagger, dropping him with the Big Ending! He hooks both legs up for the three count.
Langston pounds on his chest and turns to the announce table, motioning for Kingston to come into the ring. Kofi rises up onto his feet and looks around the arena before stepping up to the ring. He hops onto the apron and begins to take a step in only for Langston to charge forward, causing Kofi to flinch and drop down from the apron. He pulls himself around the ring and starts to make his way up to the ramp to some boos with Langston left standing in the middle of the ring with his hands on his hips in frustration.
The cameras transition to a graphic to show the image from this past Monday with The Wyatt Family along with Big Show - seeming to be a member of the family. The group, along with Show, will apparently be here on Smackdown up next to speak and address the situation later on tonight. Also, Jeff Hardy will return to action against Ryback! Plus, Bryan Danielson will be in action against an opponent of Dolph Ziggler's choice, and if Ziggler's choice manages to be victorious - Dolph will get to name the stipulation for his match against Bryan at Extreme Rules.
Returning, Matt Striker is backstage and he introduces his guest at this time to be the United States Champion, Dean Ambrose. He thanks the champion for his time and mentions how this past Monday Dean would come down to the ring and insult the England crowd before being interrupted and eventually defeated by Wade Barrett. A replay airs on the television screen with Barrett managing to defeat Ambrose in a non-title match. Striker asks what Ambrose's thoughts are on Barrett. "My thoughts on Wade Barrett, Matt!? My thoughts on him!? Huh!? He comes out of nowhere, manages to get lucky in his home and make everybody all happy for one night? Good for him... good for him... except in the end, it won't mean a thing because if he thinks that he will take away my United States Championship he is surely mistaken... he won't take it away any day. Not him, not nobody!" He looks up to see Barrett stepping forward, and he receives a nice pop from the crowd in the background. Barrett snickers and Ambrose clutches his title belt close, telling Barrett that if he wants a rematch tonight he can have it. Barrett raises his eyebrows, "I appreciate the offer, Dean, I really do. You seem very, very defensive after I beat you on Raw. That is why I arranged with Stephanie McMahon for me to get a title shot on Raw this Monday. Tonight, however, you will get to face a fellow Englishman that these people will love to see beat you." He gives a grin as William Regal steps in, receiving a similar pop to Barrett. He stares Ambrose down until the United States Champion storms off in frustration, Barrett putting his hand over Regal's shoulder as he will apparently face Ambrose later on tonight.
The cameras transition to Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins talking to a crew member and seeming upset. Dolph Ziggler steps up to Rollins and the two have a small stare down before Ziggler speaks up, "Seth. I've been thinking who would be best for this and I couldn't think of anybody better... how would you like to face Bryan Danielson tonight and get me the rights to name the stipulation for my match at Extreme Rules?" Rollins adjusts his title belt and asks what is in it for him. "If you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours. Come on, man, I'll get you back. Don't worry about it. Just do me this solid, will you?" Seth adjusts his belt once again and agrees to it, telling Ziggler he better get a favor in return.
The cameras once again cut away and go to Jeff Hardy heading down the halls as he will be in action here on Smackdown for the first time in nearly four years!
Jeff Hardy defeats Ryback via pinfall The bell sounds and Hardy charges forward, getting blasted with a huge clothesline. Ryback dominates for a whole minute and starts to taunt to the crowd, flexing his muscles and chatting himself up. He sets up for the Meat Hook Clothesline, only for Hardy to duck underneath and run up the ropes - delivering the Whisper in the Wind! He gets a near fall and proceeds to swing momentum his way with some fast action. Ryback misses a big boot and it allows Hardy to spin him around and drop him with the Twist of Fate! He gets a two count on the pinfall and gets out of the ring, hopping onto the top turnbuckle. He misses the Swanton Bomb and Ryback gets back up, getting some momentum going with his power. He sets up for Shell Shocked and Hardy slips free, blasting him with yet another Twist of Fate. Jeff then goes forward to execute the Swanton Bomb! He hooks the far leg up for the three count.
Hardy rises up onto his feet and starts to get the crowd going by throwing his hands up and down. He calls for a microphone at ringside and steps back to the middle of the ring, getting a solid response. "Yeah... it may have taken me a bit longer than I would have liked but I got the win... and at Extreme Rules... I don't care how long it takes, I ain't walking out without the WWE Championship! So Punk, you better be ready because I'm taking what is mine!" He throws the microphone down and rushes up to the second turnbuckle, getting the England crowd going some more as he is determined to win the WWE Championship.
Returning, a video airs for the WWE Be a Star program featuring the likes of John Cena, Bryan Danielson, Sheamus and Kaitlyn.
Diva's Champion Kaitlyn with Layla defeats Maryse via pinfall The bell goes off and the two lock up, Maryse missing a shot right after the break. Kaitlyn immediately takes control of the match and doesn't look back, sending Maryse down multiple times. She gets a couple of near falls before catching a spinning shot from Maryse, dropping her with a huge inverted suplex. She gets to her feet and stomps around the ring, waving her hands up and down to get fired up. She finally stops herself in the corner in preparation for the spear only for AJ Lee's music to hit. She brings herself out from the back and comes down towards the ring, skipping around back and forth before making her way up to the top of the ramp. Kaitlyn hits the spear on Maryse and gets the three count in the middle of the commotion.
Layla gets into the ring and hands the Diva's Championship off to her friend and the two look up the ramp as AJ stands there with her hands cupped together at her waist, giving a big smile. She gives a wave and skips her way to the back, Layla and Kaitlyn left once again in confusion over her odd behavior. The cameras follow up by going backstage to show William Regal and Dean Ambrose on split screens, making their way down separate halls as they will be facing each other in non-title action next.
William Regal defeats United States Champion Dean Ambrose via pinfall in a non-title match The bell rings and Ambrose goes off with vicious shots to the head, rocking Regal early on. He smack talks the crowd and gives Regal an opening to hit a huge clothesline! Regal applies some hard submission holds on the mat but Ambrose continues to get out, getting frustrated enough to get out of the ring. He marches around the ring and leaves Regal standing in the middle of the squared circle. Ambrose charges back and in and starts to trade blows with Regal before knocking him back into the referee. He hits a huge low blow and the crowd boos! Ambrose smack talks the crowd some more before stepping out of the ring, taking his title belt. He steps back into the ring and clutches the title, ready to strike Regal only for Wade Barrett to come in the ring from behind and drop him with a huge bullhammer clothesline! He proceeds to reach into his pants pocket and slip something to Regal before stepping out of the ring. The two competitors get up in the ring and Regal slips on brass knuckles - blasting Ambrose right in the face! The crowd roars as Regal hides the knucks, hooking both legs up for the pinfall.
Barrett returns to the ring and helps Regal get back up. He pulls his arm up and the duo get the crowd going in celebration as Ambrose remains laid on the mat motionless. The replays show of Barrett handing Regal the brass knuckles to help him beat Ambrose in classic fashion. The two continue to work the crowd over as a graphic appears for Bryan Danielson versus Seth Rollins later on, but coming up next - The Wyatt Family with apparent new member, Big Show, will be addressing the situation.
Returning, the cameras look over the arena before The Wyatt Family's signature hits. The music begins to play as the lights go down, a spotlight coming at the top of the stage as the group make their way out. Big Show follows up by making his way out of the shadows, once again dressed in similar fashion to the family. The group make their way down the ramp and Bray takes a seat in his rocking chair, blowing out his lantern. The lights come back on after a few moments and the four stand in the middle of the ring together. Wyatt holds a microphone and gives a big laugh, stepping back and forth in front of his large trio behind him. "You all watched on this past Monday night with your hands pushed up underneath your cheeks! You sat on your knees and watched in wonder! Wonder... as to this man whom thought he was a monster joined the real monsters. That's right... your former rise up, throwing fists hero - The Big Show - has succumbed to the pressure and has finally realized the life he was living was a lie! A lie because of each and every one of you..." He wags his finger at the crowd and gives a smile. "You all cheered this man and you made him believe he was a monster who could fight the demons that went against him in Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan! But he was no monster..."
Bray moves back and puts his arm around the neck of Show, dangling next to him with a laugh. "He was a mortal man! A very, very large mortal man but no monster... he had feelings. He had feelings that could be crushed! Feelings that you all brought out in him! You're all guilty! Each and every one of you... guilty... and now, Big Show has realized that he was going nowhere with those feelings and he has sacrificed himself and joined the Wyatt Family. Hahahaha... now the question is... Mark Henry! Sheamus!" He puts the microphone up to Show and he takes a few seconds before clutching a hold of it, staring right into the main camera. "Will you follow the buzzards?" Wyatt continues to laugh as the crowd boos, Bray snapping his fingers - Harper and Rowan reacting with boots to the gut of Show - dropping him onto his knees! Wyatt moves forward and raises the chin up of Show before wrapping a hold of the head, dropping him with Sister Abigail! The fans continue to boo as Wyatt spins onto both knees with his arms spread out, leaning his head back over Show. He gives one last large laugh, the family's signature hitting into the commercial break.
World Heavyweight Champion Bryan Danielson defeats Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins via pinfall in a non-title match The bell rings and the two lock up early on, Rollins responding by flipping Danielson down to the mat. He hits a couple of kicks and drops a few elbows and gets a couple of near falls. He misses a superkick and Bryan hits off the ropes, returning with the Running Knee! He hooks both legs up but only gets a two count. Both men get to their feet and Bryan starts to fire away with kicks to the chest, Rollins hooking a hold of the foot. Bryan spins around and hits a huge shot to the face and sends Rollins out through the ropes. Bryan rushes off to the ropes and comes back with a huge suicide dive! Bryan gets onto his feet and leads the crowd into 'Yes!' chants, a commercial break interruptign the match. Upon the return, Rollins is in control in the corner and throws Bryan to the mat - blasting him with a huge boot right in the face. He lets him get back up and starts to get some momentum going, even hitting the superkick! He hooks both legs up but only gets a count of two. He gets frustrated and starts to march around the ring, pulling Danielson back up and hitting him with a couple of uppercuts. He gets some momentum going once again only to be stopped with a sudden kick to the knees! Dolph Ziggler comes rushing down to the ring and hops onto the apron, distracting the referee as Bryan is preparing for the Running Knee again. Rollins hits a low blow on Danielson and prepares for the superkick, only for John Morrison to come charging down the ramp to take Ziggler down! Rollins gets distracted by him and charges to the ropes, swinging at Morrison. He turns around to the Running Knee from Bryan and the world champion hooks both legs up for the three count!
The England crowd cheers as Danielson gets onto his feet, looking to the outside as Morrison pumps his index fingers in the air in 'Yes!' chants. The crowd starts to get fired up as Danielson moves over to the ropes, taking his title belt and a microphone. He looks to Ziggler getting up at the bottom of the ramp and gives a smile. "Well, Dolph, you tried! You really, really tried to screw me over!" He gives another laugh as Ziggler kicks the barricade in frustration. "So let me tell you how it is going to go! At Extreme Rules, I'm going to take my World Heavyweight Championship. I'm going to hand it over to the referee. He's going to put it on a hanger and let it go up high above this ring! Now, does that sound like a ladder match, London!?" He pumps his fingers up, getting the crowd going once again with the 'Yes!' chants, as the stage is set for a ladder match with the World Heavyweight Championship on the line between Danielson and Ziggler! Smackdown comes to an end.
