I wonder what the October 27th PPV will be? I hope this means you are bringing back either Hell In A Cell as a pay per view or you are bringing back Vengeance as a pay per view or you are bringing back Unforgiven as a pay per view or your October 27th pay per view is King of the Ring
Vin Diesel on RAW next week, I wonder if he will cross paths with any of the superstars on RAW? I would love to see Diesel make it up with the likes of John Cena or even CM Punk or even Randy Orton for that matter, I wonder if Vin Diesel will cross paths with The Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar considering Lesnar took out Diesel's buddy The Rock
Shawn Michaels since he is due to come back to WWE TV, I wonder if he and his old DX teammate the COO Triple H will cross paths with one another? If they do then I wonder if Michaels will be named special guest referee for a match and if he is, something tells me Michaels will superkick whoever gets in Triple H's way

Just got caught up, Extreme Rules looks like a fun show. Both the WWE and World title bouts should be good. I'm glade that Punk brought up the fact that Hardy was just given the title shot upon his return. Reigns/Cena has me interested, will we have a new superstar born or will Cena put an end to it. Hopefully we get the former. Morrison being a thorn in Seth's side has been entertaining, as has been the Ambrose/Barrett feud. The tag team scene has been good, wonder what may happen if the Uso's win, who will face them next? Big Show being apart of the Wyatt Family definitely makes them a force to be reckoned with, that's for sure. I like vicious Orton the most, so seeing him carve a path of destruction following the loss at Wrestle Mania makes me happy.

May 13, 2013 from the BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma
The Monday Night Raw intro video airs and the cameras swing into the BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler welcome everybody to the show where we are just six days away from Extreme Rules! Jeff Hardy and CM Punk will have an official contract signing for their steel cage match this Sunday, Randy Orton will be taking on Goldust, Triple H will call out John Cena, a big eight man tag team match will take place and much more.
Randy Orton defeats Goldust with Cody Rhodes via pinfall The bell rings and the duo lock up with each other and go back and forth early with hard slams and heavy hits. Goldust gets the upper hand, though, after delivering a huge arm toss and elbow drop. He pounds away at Orton on the mat and takes him into the corner, viciously beating him down - forcing the referee to break it up. The Viper takes advantage, hitting a huge clothesline. He stomps away at The Bizarre One and takes him up, working him some more. After a couple of minutes, Orton hits the Rope Hung DDT and gets a near fall. He goes for the RKO afterward but Goldust shoves him forward, driving him down to the mat. He swings momentum his way once again and gets a couple of near falls that gets the WWE Universe worked up. Goldust sets up Orton for Shattered Dreams but as he comes to hit the kick, The Viper strikes with an elbow to the face! Orton pulls himself free and drops Goldust with the RKO in the middle of the ring! He hooks both legs up for the three count.
Orton rises onto his feet and puts both fists in the air as he is declared the winner. Rhodes gets up onto the apron and heads into the ring, getting right into Orton's face. Rhodes yells at The Viper and the two start to get into a shoving match. Cody ducks underneath a punch and dropkicks Orton to the outside! Rhodes charges to the outside and starts to beat his rival down against the barricade. He drags him back up and whips Orton shoulder first into the steel steps! He marches around the ring and takes the bullrope from the timekeeper's area. He moves back to Orton and ducks underneath a shot, flipping Orton up and over - dropping him back first onto the floor. Rhodes hooks the bullrope up to himself and Orton and drags his Extreme Rules opponent up, choking him while leaning against the ring. The referee tries to get Cody to stop but he refuses, causing multiple officials to come down to the ring in an attempt to break it up. Goldust gets out of the ring and tries to reason with Cody, eventually getting him to stop. Rhodes pulls the bullrope off his wrist and continues to bark at Orton as Goldust pulls him away along with a couple of referees, Rhodes definitely fired up for the match this Sunday!
The WWE Universe is looked over and the theme music of Triple H hits, the WWE Universe booing loudly. The COO of the company brings himself out to the stage and looks all around the arena, tucking his hands into his pockets. He makes his way down the ramp and into the ring, taking a microphone from ringside. He stands in the middle of the ring and looks over the Tulsa crowd. "In just six nights from now it will be Extreme Rules!" He smiles as the crowd gives a solid pop for the reminder. "We will watch as many superstars step into the ring and compete in abstract matches! From the likes of a Texas Bullrope Match between Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton, to a hardcore tag team match between the teams of Bray Wyatt and Big Show and Mark Henry and Sheamus! From the likes of a Steel Cage Match between Jeff Hardy and CM Punk for the WWE Championship to a Ladder Match for the World Heavyweight Championship between Bryan Danielson and Dolph Ziggler! But let us not forget the Extreme Rules match between Roman Reigns and John Cena!" He gives another smirk and nods, continuing on with the last mentioned match. "Now, I'd just like to once again clear the air before that match takes place this Sunday and I'd like to invite John down to this ring right now before he gets to his match later on tonight. The WWE Universe gets anxious with chatter as Hunter stands in the middle of the ring waiting, Cena's music finally hitting to a loud response from the Tulsa fans.
John Cena makes his way out slowly and he looks around the arena from atop the stage. He makes his way down to the ring and takes a microphone of his own after working the crowd a bit. He makes his way to the other side of Triple H and the two stare down. Hunter goes to speak but John cuts him off, telling him 'no' over and over. "We've been over this, Hunter. We've been over this for a while now... I get it. You don't like me being at the top of this company because you don't think I am as good as I once was. You think that my time is up. You think that it is time for a new regime and that is why you helped Punk beat me at WrestleMania. That is why you had Roman Reigns come into this company along with Paul Heyman and had him target me. I know you won't admit it but I am not a fool." He steps closer to the COO, whom raises his chin up in question of Cena. "Don't get me wrong, I believe Roman actually wants a piece of me but I'm damn sure you're sitting back there and enjoying every time he lays his hands on me. But this Sunday I'm going into war with that beast! I'm going to war and I'm going to do whatever it takes to put him down! And if you don't like it, you can do something about it yourself!" He stares Hunter down, whom talks off microphone to John and gets him to back off. He pulls his microphone back up and tells John he has always admired his integrity and heart. "But once again, you're getting too caught up. I have nothing to do with Roman Reigns. That is why I wanted to call you out here. You've been talking about how I set this up but I promise you I had absolutely nothing to do with that! I admit, clear as day, I am the reason you lost at WrestleMania but not the night after. Maybe you should be taking the blame yourself for not putting up a big enough fight that night and stop blaming me! I wish you luck in your match later on, John. And I wish you luck this Sunday... but you better start focusing on your problems and stop blaming them on me." He throws his microphone down, stares Cena down and heads out of the ring.
Returning, a promo video airs for WWE's Be A Star program featuring the likes of John Cena, Bryan Danielson, Kaitlyn and Sheamus.
The cameras cut to ringside where Diva's Champion Kaitlyn has joined the commentary team. The duo welcome her and proceed to make the announcement that this Sunday Kaitlyn will be defending her title belt in a submission match against AJ Lee, whom is in action next. Kaitlyn says she is ready and is looking forward to the competition.
AJ Lee defeats Aksana via submission The bell rings and AJ takes complete control as soon as it does. She works Aksana all around the ring and gets a couple of near falls off some hard slams and shots. She works Aksana a little bit more before finally applying the Black Widow, Aksana not lasting long before tapping out to the dominant diva.
AJ lets go of the hold after keeping it in a while, turning her attention to Kaitlyn at ringside. She gives a smile and bats her eyelashes, Kaitlyn standing up on the announce table to put the Diva's Championship right over her head. AJ throws her hands up and starts to skip around the ring before getting out, looking right up to Kaitlyn. The champion trash talks a bit before dropping down, AJ going for a slap only for Kaitlyn to catch it and hit one of her own! The Diva's Champion mocks AJ by skipping around the ring and up the ramp, as the two will meet on Sunday!
Bray Wyatt and Big Show with Luke Harper and Erick Rowan defeat The Prime Time Players via pinfall The match begins with Wyatt and Young, the leader of the Wyatt Family getting the upper hand early with his strength. Young puts up a bit of a fight though, and starts to get some momentum going. He gets blasted with a clothesline, however, and Bray takes right over once again. As he goes for a knee in the corner, Young moves out of the way and makes the tag to O'Neill. He comes rushing in and big boots Bray to the mat! He starts to drop him with a couple of shots and gets fired up, tagging Young back in after a clothesline. He comes charging in, however, and is caught with a huge samoan drop! Wyatt hits a big splash and turns his attention to Titus, running to him and hitting him with a spinning elbow. Wyatt makes his way over to Big Show and tags him in, ordering him around. Show steps into the ring and cocks his fist back, hitting the Knockout Punch to Darren! Wyatt proceeds to hit Sister Abigail, allowing Show to make the pinfall.
Bray and Show both rise onto their feet and O'Neill gets up on the outside, being struck from behind by Harper and Rowan! They lay him out before joining the other two members of the family inside of the ring. The group stands tall and Wyatt drops down onto both knees, spreading both arms out only for the music of Mark Henry to hit. The World's Strongest Man makes his way out to the ramp by himself and starts to make his way down to the ramp, stopping outside of the ring. As Wyatt orders him to come into the ring, Sheamus comes storming in from behind with a steel chair in his hands! He swings it and takes down Rowan, followed up by Harper! He then sends a couple of shots to Show as Wyatt looks around in panic, Henry getting into the ring. Bray drops to the mat and rolls out of the ring, pulling Harper and Rowan afterward. Sheamus proceeds to hit the Brogue Kick on Big Show, Henry following it up with the World's Strongest Slam! The crowd gives a solid response as the two march around the ring fired up, calling for the rest of the Wyatt Family as they back up the ramp, Bray keeping his arms out in front of Harper and Rowan.
Returning, Matt Striker is backstage and he welcomes his guest at this time to be John Morrison. He thanks him for his time and asks how he is feeling going into his Intercontinental Championship match this Sunday at Extreme Rules against Seth Rollins. "Well, Matt, I've been the Intercontinental Champion on three different occasions. This Sunday night I have to face one of the tougher opponents I've faced in Seth Rollins but I feel like my experience will overcome everything he brings. I get to pin Seth anywhere I please. I can do it right in the middle of that ring, I can do it in the middle of the crowd, I can do it in the parking lot, the street... heck, I can do it right here in this spot I'm standing in." He puts his arm around Strike and puts his hand out, "Just picture it now, Matt. Next week this same time on Monday Night Raw you can be saying 'Please welcome my guest at this time, Intercontinental Champion - John Morrison!" He flashes a smile and heads off.
The cameras transition to Stephanie McMahon in her office and Triple H heads in. The two kiss and Hunter asks how he did earlier. Stephanie folds her hands and puts her head down a little bit, "I appreciate your effort, babe. But... I just don't get why you have to keep trying to stick your nose into John Cena's business. I know you didn't have anything to do with Paul and Roman but you keep putting yourself in a position to make him think that!" Hunter rolls his eyes and tells her that he was just trying to do what is right and what is best for business. "You keep talking about what is best for business, Hunter, and you keep making it bad for business!" Stephanie sighs as Triple H rubs at his chin, throwing his hands up. He stares at Steph and shrugs his shoulders, "I don't know what you want me to do, Steph. You tell me to stop making things bad with John and when I go out there and I do my best to fix it, it isn't the right thing to do. You're acting just like he is! He wants to blame me for all of his errors, and now you're blaming me for yours. I'm getting out of here... have fun handling the contract signing later on by yourself." He storms out, Stephanie sighing and crossing her arms, unsure of how to react to the dissension between herself and her husband.
Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins defeats Christian via pinfall in a non-title match The bell sounds and the duo lock up with each other, Christian taking control early on with a couple of hard slams and dropkicks. He gets a few near falls and prepares for the Killswitch, Rollins shoving him away and blasting him with an absolutely vicious clothesline. He takes control himself and gets momentum in his favor, applying a headlock after a couple of minutes. Christian fights back with the will of the crowd and gets back to his feet, elbowing free. He yet again swings momentum his way and goes for a spear, Rollins managing to move out of the way. He takes the referee by the collar and pushes him off to the corner while stumbling, giving him the opportunity to low blow Christian! He pops right back up, hits the superkick and hooks both legs up for the pin.
Rollins rises onto his feet and marches around the ring, taking his title belt away from the official. He raises the belt up to the crowd and throws it over his shoulder, taking a microphone while breathing heavily with a smirk. "John Morrison! You think you can take this away from me?" He clutches the championship, "You think you can take this!? There is nobody! And I mean nobody! That will take this belt away from me! I've been the champion for too damn long and I am not losing it to the likes of you, Morrison. You bring it on this Sunday at Extreme Rules because I am going to pin you wherever I damn well please after I'm through with you. I might pin you multiple times! Once in this ring, once on the floor on the outside, once in the crowd and maybe even out in the streets of St. Louis!" He drops the microphone down and raises the belt over his head again.
The cameras cut backstage to show World Heavyweight Champion Bryan Danielson as he will be in action - next!
A promo video airs with ballroom dance music. Flashing and bright colors go about before a curtain appears, opening up to reveal "Fandango" and "Next Week" beneath it.
World Heavyweight Champion Bryan Danielson defeats Damien Sandow via submission in a non-title match The match begins between the two former team mates with the duo locking up. Sandow gets the upper hand early and overpowers Danielson in the corner and on the mat. The World Heavyweight Champion puts up a strong fight, however, and starts to fire away with kicks and forearms. The World Heayweight Champion takes total control of the match for the next couple of minutes and ends up dropping Sandow with the Running Knee, followed up by the Yes! Lock, forcing Sandow to tap out rather quickly.
Danielson rises up onto his feet and starts up the 'Yes!' chants with the Oklahoma crowd, only for Dolph Ziggler's music to hit. The number one contender makes his way out to the ramp and marches around, staring Danielson down. He pulls his microphone up, "Congratulations on your victory, Bryan. Congrata-frigin-lations! You know what? This Sunday night when you have to compete against me in a ladder match, you're going to be looking up at me. You're going to be looking up at me holding the World Heavyweight Championship over my head atop that ladder while thinking to yourself - why did I ever doubt Dolph Ziggler? And why do you!? Huh!? I'm the Show Off! You never underestimate me." The two stare down as the crowd boos Ziggler, Bryan laughing and stepping out of the ring. He goes under the ring and pulls a ladder out, rolling it into the ring. He stands t up in the middle of the squared circle and takes a microphone of his own, telling Ziggler to live up to his word right now instead of this Sunday. He throws the microphone down and motions for Ziggler to come down to the ring.
Returning, Ziggler stands halfway down the ramp and points in the ring while trash talking the World Heavyweight Champion. Danielson just laughs as Ziggler starts to get closer to the ring, hopping onto the apron only to drop back down. He steps around in circles a bit, wagging his finger at Bryan. He finally hops onto the apron again and gets into the ring, rushing to the ladder only for Bryan to drag him down and start firing away with kicks. Ziggler ducks underneath a big roundhouse and goes for the Zig Zag, only for Bryan to shove him back first into the ladder! Danielson proceeds to hit the Running Knee and hops right back up, taking his title belt as Dolph rolls out of the ring. Danielson slowly brings himself up to the top of the ladder and sits on it. He starts to pump the World Heavyweight Championship over his head to the 'Yes!' chants from the WWE Universe, as this could be a preview for this Sunday at Extreme Rules.
The cameras transition to ringside where Cole and Lawler talk about Extreme Rules being this Sunday but they have an announcement for next week on Raw! Vin Diesel, the star of Fast and Furious 6 and an upcoming September film Riddick, will be here next Monday Night to make a guest appearance. The cameras cut backstage to show WWE Champion CM Punk watching the television in Stephanie McMahon's office to see the announcement of Vin Diesel. He shakes his head and turns around to see Stephanie walk in and she asks what he needs from her. "What do I need? What do I need? Well, first of all I need to know why you got Vin Diesel taking up precious television time that should be featuring your number one superstar. Secondly, I just want to let you know that tonight, just like this Sunday, I can't promise that Jeff Hardy will walk out in one piece." Stephanie stares at him in question as Punk heads out.
The Kings of Wrestling, United States Champion Dean Ambrose and Kofi Kingston defeat WWE Tag Team Champions The Usos, Wade Barrett and Big E Langston via pinfall via pinfall The bell tolls as Ambrose starts things off with Jimmy Uso. The two go back and forth with fast paced action that sends both men to the mat multiple times. Ambrose gets the upper hand after a vicious knee to the face and brings Jimmy right into his corner. His group of four starts to make frequent tags but after some disrespect by Ohno to Jey Uso, the team comes storming in and all hell breaks loose. The referee eventually gets things to settle down a bit and a commercial break interrupts. Upon the return, Cesaro is in control of the match against Barrett on the mat. Wade manages to fight back a bit and gets to his feet, rocking Cesaro a bit. He hits a couple of clotheslines and gets momentum going his way. He starts to make tags with his team over and over and keep Cesaro downed. As Langston seems to be in position to win, however, Ambrose makes the blind tag and ends up rolling Langston up following a big boot to Cesaro, the three count coming.
Ambrose quickly rolls out of the ring and backs up the ramp fast with a laugh as the Kings of Wrestling and Kofi Kingston join him, the other three storming into the ring along with Langston, moving up against the ropes. They all begin to jab at each other as the crowd boos, the stage set for multiple matches coming this Sunday.
The cameras cut backstage to Matt Striker and he introduces his guest at this time to be John Cena. He thanks John for his time and asks about his confrontation with Triple H earlier and asks if he really thinks he is involved with Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman. "Look, Matt," Cena shrugs, "I have no problem believing that Roman Reigns wants to take me out. I have no problem believing that he wants to make a name for himself. But, isn't it kind of funny that at WrestleMania... Brock Lesnar wins. Triple H screws me. Brock Lesnar comes out on Raw and leaves. Triple H makes a match between myself and CM Punk for the WWE Championship. Paul Heyman comes out with a new client just a little while after Brock left... and he takes me out and costs me the title. I dunno what it is, Matt, but all I know is I'm going to run through anybody that gets in my way of getting my WWE Championship back." He heads off, in action next.
John Cena defeats Jack Swagger via pinfall The bell rings and Cena immediately takes control of the match, dominating Swagger in the corner and on the mat. He goes for the Attitude Adjustment but Swagger manages to get free, sending Cena down with a clothesline. He beats him down on the mat for a minute before going for the Ankle Lock, Cena kicking him away. John rises right back up and overpowers Swagger for the next two minutes before going for the AA once again. Swagger yet again slips free and goes for the Gut Wrench Powerbomb, Cena elbowing at the head. He finally gets down, ducks a shot and flips Jack to the mat. He hits the Five Knuckle Shuffle and gets right back up to nail the AA right in the middle of the ring. Cena hooks both legs up for the pinfall.
The WWE Universe gets loud with a mixed reaction as Paul Heyman comes out to the ramp, stopping Cena's celebration quickly. Heyman begins clapping sarcastically into a microphone. "Well, well, well, John. You certainly look fired up for this Sunday... but unfortunately, my client doesn't feel like waiting until Sunday!" John turns around in anticipation of Reigns and he is met with a huge clothesline! Roman lifts him right up and throws him into the corner, jamming shoulder after shoulder to the stomach. Reigns sends Cena to the outside and follows right after him, slamming him shoulder first into the steel steps. Reigns pulls John up by one arm and swings him up against the barricade and backs off, giving a huge roar to the crowd. He rushes at Cena for the spear but John moves out of the way, Reigns going right through the barricade! The crowd gets a little rambunctious over the action as Cena drags Reigns back by the hair and slams him face first into the announce table. He proceeds to take the steel steps and swing them right into Reigns' face! He drops the steps down and turns to see Heyman around the corner and stares him down before pulling Reigns back and onto his shoulders, dropping him with the Attitude Adjustment right on the steps despite Heyman's pleas! Cena spreads his arms out and yells out to the crowd, multiple referees coming to ringside in order to stop John from doing any more damage. Heyman drops onto his knees and pulls at his head in shock of what has happened to his client, as these two will collide Sunday at Extreme Rules!
Returning, the ring is set up with a table in the middle on top of a black rug with a chair on either side. Stephanie McMahon's music hits and the WWE Commissioner brings herself down to to the ring and steps right in, taking a microphone from the table. She asks the crowd if they've enjoyed the show so far, and they give a solid response. "This Sunday night, we will have ourselves a Steel Cage match for the WWE Championship between two very deserving men. In one corner, Jeff Hardy!" She waves her hand towards the ramp and Hardy's music hits. The Charismatic Enigma brings himself out and down to the ring. He waves his hands up and down and gets the crowd going a bit before taking a seat. Stephanie smiles and proceeds on to announce the WWE Champion, CM Punk. He makes his way out to a mixed reaction and pulls the belt off of his waist, raising it up to the crowd before tossing it over his shoulder. He makes his way down to the ring slowly and takes a microphone, not sitting down but instead placing his hand up in front of Stephanie, telling her he has some things to say before they sign the contract.
"I already took you out of this business once, Jeff. I took you out of this business in a steel cage match and I have beat you countless times. You come back to this company and you are given this match against me for what I have earned. For what I have worked my ass off for my entire career! I don't like you, Hardy. I don't like you coming back here and thinking you can just walk in and take it all away from me because the fact of the matter is... you can't and you won't." He stares Hardy down, whom just crosses his arms and waits for Punk to finish. "This Sunday night we will get locked up inside of that steel cage and I don't plan on just beating you. I plan on taking you out of this business for the second time." He stares Hardy down as some heat comes from the crowd, Jeff straightening up and taking his own microphone. "Punk, you may not like me and that's just fine. I don't like you either to be honest. But what you need to do... is respect me. You talk about how you've fought your entire career to become the WWE Champion. With that drive and determination regardless of how you did it, Punk, you did it. And guess what? I've got that same drive. I've got that same determination. I had that title years ago and I didn't have it for very long. I had the World Heavyweight title a few years ago as well, and you took it away from me even faster than that. So this Sunday when you're not respecting my talents, my abilities and my determination... you may just get blindsided."
The crowd cheers as Hardy takes the contract and flips through it, signing it quickly. He shoves it across the table and Punk laughs, picking it up and shaking his head. "You're dumber than I thought you were, you know that? I've known you for a long time now, Jeff, and I never thought you'd be so stupid to think you can catch me off guard. I'm the best in the world for a reason! I'm the WWE Champion for a reason! I've faced and beaten a lot better than you! If you want to actually go though with this match you don't deserve, I'll make sure you regret it. And Stephanie..." He looks at her, "This is your fault too." He signs the contract and hands it over to her before turning back to Hardy. He raises the WWE Championship up, talking some more trash to Jeff. Hardy looks out to the crowd and then sends a hard fist to Punk! The crowd pops as he jumps over the table, pounding away at the WWE Champion. Hardy rips the title belt away from Punk and raises it up to the crowd before tossing it to the side, kicking Punk in the gut and hitting him with the Twist of Fate! He rises back up and removes his shirt, balling it up and tossing it out to the crowd. Hardy drags Punk back to his feet and dropkicks him onto the table, the number one contender making his way out to the apron and to the top turnbuckle. He throws his arms out and gets the crowd going yet again before hitting the Swanton Bomb right through the table! Hardy rises onto his feet after a moment down and he scoops the WWE Championship back up again, raising it over his head while holding onto his ribs. "Can Jeff Hardy be holding that title this Sunday at Extreme Rules like he is tonight?" Michael Cole questions as Monday Night Raw comes to an end.

- 6 more days until Extreme Rules, it's this Sunday and it looks like the road to Extreme Rules is finally heating up, I can't wait until this Sunday
- Orton beating Goldust definitely was a hot opener, and definitely was expecting Orton to beat Rhodes' older brother Goldust even though Goldust did take it to Orton most of the match but The Viper proving to be too much, well Orton needs all the momentum he can get right now seeing as how Extreme Rules this Sunday is in his hometown of St. Louis so no doubt he is going to have the crowd on his side, he is going to be the hometown favorite the hometown hero returning home and he is going to be facing Rhodes in a Texas Bullrope Match which is going to be a real war but after the match seeing Rhodes on the warpath like that attacking Orton just shows us just how ruthless, cold, and calculating Cody Rhodes can really be but he is going to have his work cut out for him at Extreme Rules that's for sure
- Triple H calling out John Cena, the COO definitely has guts especially when he knew that Cena could have just tore him apart because it isn't like he hasn't before, take you back to WrestleMania 22 where Cena made Triple H tap out or even Backlash 2006 where Cena was in a Triple Threat with Triple H and Edge and then fast forward 2 years later 2008 where these 2 went it again at WrestleMania 24 in a Triple Threat with Orton and then Night of Champions 2008 where Triple H finally beat Cena for the first time and now fast forward 5 years later with Triple H screwing Cena, Triple H was lucky Cena didn't beat the holy hell out of him but Triple H something tells me that he will interfere in Cena's match this Sunday at Extreme Rules costing Cena his match against Roman Reigns...I don't see Roman Reigns beating John Cena clean in the middle of the ring because I think it won't come without controversy meaning Triple H will interfere hitting Cena with his signature trusty sledgehammer with Reigns taking full advantage
- Kaitlyn vs AJ for the WWE Divas Championship in a Submission Match, then this means that this match will be a full on wrestling clinic as far as divas go especially since AJ has her signature submission move The Black Widow but does Kaitlyn have any submission moves in her arsenal in order to retain her title? I guess we will find out at Extreme Rules but AJ just keeps gaining more and more momentum this time beating Aksana by making her tap out, if she does that to Kaitlyn we could have a new WWE Divas Champion in AJ but seeing Kaitlyn get in AJ's face after AJ got in hers and then AJ trying to slap Kaitlyn only for her to turn it right back around on AJ, this match will be as physical as they come as far as diva matches go
- Bray Wyatt and Big Show of the Wyatt Family with Harper and Rowan beat the Primetime Players, that is no shocker for me to be quite honest because the Wyatts in all honesty have been formidable as a stable especially with Big Show joining them but seeing Sheamus and Henry come out after the match was expected considering this Sunday Wyatt and Show are going to have to team up to face the team of Sheamus and Mark Henry at Extreme Rules in a Hardcore Tag Team Match, this match will be a war probably the most brutal if anything
- John Morrison seems pretty confident about his match at Extreme Rules against Rollins in a Falls Count Anywhere Match with the IC Title on the line but Rollins has beaten all comers since becoming champion and at Extreme Rules he will just add Morrison to that list because ever since becoming champion he has made the WWE Intercontinental Championship mean something again, he has made it special again, a title that could propel you straight to the main event
- Still dissension within the McMahon-Helmsley marriage that's for sure, I wonder if it will lead to a power struggle between Triple H and his wife Stephanie for control of the WWE where the winner ends up with full control and the loser is gone, because I see it being Triple H's representative facing Stephanie's representative at WrestleMania 30 for Control of the WWE but I wonder if what is happening right now with Triple H and Stephanie is what brings the Chairman, Vince back
- WWE Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins beating Christian doesn't come as a shocker either because I expected that to happen but Rollins resorting to cheap underhanded tactics to gain the victory just goes to show us just how crafty he can be but also that he is willing to do anything to retain his title at Extreme Rules when he faces Morrison but Rollins once he hits that Superkick, it's lights out for anybody, he is making "The Superkick" mean something again considering WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels used that move throughout his whole career and Rollins in some ways reminds me of a young, cocky, brash arrogant HBK when HBK became The Heartbreak Kid but in some ways Morrison he too reminds me of a young Shawn Michaels when he was "The Boy Toy" circa 1996
- Fandango has been built up for weeks and he will finally show up the night after Extreme Rules, I wonder who Fandango will make his debut against? Or I wonder if he will hold off on his debut match teasing the audience for weeks like how he did in real life because they couldn't get his name right because if he does that then I won't be surprised but if he actually debuts and he actually wrestles a match here is hoping he goes over in his first match but I wonder who he will feud with?
- World Heavyweight Champion Bryan Danielson beating Damien Sandow doesn't come as a surprise either just like how Ziggler showing up right after Danielson's match was no surprise either and then it eventually turning into these men attacking one another with the presence of the ladder being right in the middle of the ring, how about that for symmetry huh? How symbolic? Either way their Ladder Match at Extreme Rules for the World Heavyweight Championship shall be one for the ages, I smell a Match of the Year candidate as far as the Slammy Awards goes for your diary
- Vin Diesel showing up next week on RAW to promote Fast 6, I love it, and since his co-star The Rock is obviously out of action I wonder if Vin Diesel will bring up his buddy The Rock but seeing the WWE Champion CM Punk talk about Vin Diesel like that almost guarantees that these 2 will cross paths next week on RAW but seeing Punk in Stephanie's office to plug the contract signing for Extreme Rules for the WWE Championship against Jeff Hardy in the Steel Cage, I can't wait because you know as well as I do, contract signings never end well
- 8-man Tag, with Kings of Wrestling, Kofi Kingston and the WWE United States Champion Dean Ambrose facing off against the team of the WWE Tag Team Champions The Usos, Big E. Langston and Wade Barrett I definitely expected this to turn into an absolute melee and it did and the heel team going over the babyface team doesn't come as a surprise but could that be an omen of things to come this Sunday at Extreme Rules in those respective matches?
- Cena's backstage interview, he seems that determined to become WWE Champion once again for the 14th time, 2 more times and Cena will tie Ric Flair in title reigns with 16 but Cena I wonder if he is really past his prime now? Because Reigns has proven to be a beast, untamed for the most part unstoppable and Cena thinks he actually has a chance this Sunday against Roman Reigns but he thinks he actually has a chance at becoming WWE Champion again, well that won't happen especially if the COO Triple H has anything to say about it
- Cena beating Swagger in the main event, I definitely expected that just like how I expected Roman Reigns would show up with Heyman in tow and then it turning into a brawl just before their match this Sunday at Extreme Rules in an Extreme Rules Match, I definitely can't wait to see these 2 just tear each other apart but Cena basically destroying Reigns here, could that be an omen of things to come this Sunday?
- The contract signing between Hardy and Punk I knew would turn into chaos but at the same time with Hardy standing tall raising the WWE Championship, can he get it done this Sunday in the Cage? Can he beat CM Punk to become WWE Champion and earn his redemption? Or will Punk prove beyond a shadow of a doubt just why he deserves to be WWE Champion but also the Face of the WWE because if he beats Hardy then that will just go a long way to proving just that

Well Nice RAW to kick off, Randy Orton getting a huge win over Goldust, and Triple H calling out John Cena, hopefully this match will be at Summerslam, there were a lot of good things to see on Monday Night RAW like Bryan and Sandow going one-on-one against each other and that eight-man tag team match including the Backstage Argument between Stephanie and Triple H maybe we will see a heel turn from Stephanie cause she's always been a, well you know you get what I'm saying there man, I can't win for Vin Diesel to be on RAW next week, hopefully he can bring the Fast and Furious Stars or Riddick, hope he gets into a confrontation with a Superstar this week and great way to have Jeff Hardy lay out the Champ at Extreme Rules, I don't see Hardy winning the WWE Title in the Steel Cage Match, I think he's going to be the aggressor, he may not wanna win the title, he could just wind up hurting Punk and eventually that could lead to his downfall. Well great show, I'm ready for Extreme Rules. SMACKDOWN should be interesting as well too,

May 16, 2013 from the Intrust Bank Arena in Wichita, Kansas
The opening video for Smackdown airs and the cameras head into the Intrust Bank Arena in Wichita, Kansas! Michael Cole and Josh Mathews welcome everybody to the show before running down the card, noting that tonight's main event will feature World Heavyweight Champion Bryan Danielson against Randy Orton. Also, John Morrison and Wade Barrett will team up to go against Intercontinental and United States Champions, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose. Plus, Sheamus will face Erick Rowan as Mark Henry goes up against Luke Harper. All this and more on the final stop before Extreme Rules this Sunday!
The crowd is looked over and the theme music of Dolph Ziggler hits, leading to some heat from the crowd. He makes his way down to the ring where a ladder is set up and he takes a microphone from ringside before ascending it. He gets to the top and takes a seat, looking all around the arena. He clutches his microphone and begins to speak, "In just a couple of days at Extreme Rules I will get to face Bryan Danielson in a ladder match with the World Heavyweight Championship sitting right above where my head is now... let me make it very clear to each and every one of you so when I end up winning this Sunday, I was already the true champion! You should be accepting the fact now that Bryan isn't the world champion! I am! I always have been, I always will be! I am the World Heavyweight Champion! I'm the Show Off! I'm Dolph Ziggler!" He stares out to the booing fans, keeping the microphone close to him. "This past Monday on Raw, Bryan challenged me to come up this ladder and I let him think I couldn't. I backed down and let him get the idea in his head that he could actually win our match this Sunday but I know, you all know and everybody else knows that the one holding that title belt sitting in this exact position at Extreme Rules in St. Louis will be yours truly - the Show Off, Dolph Ziggler!" He gets some heat and goes to say some more but Bryan Danielson's music hits, the World Champion making his way out to a huge ovation.
The crowd immediately overpowers Bryan with 'Yes!' chants as he goes to speak, and he just begins to laugh. Ziggler tells them all to shut up and tells Danielson to get to the back, this is his time. Bryan puts his hand up to silence Dolph, even telling him to calm down. "I'm not going to be long, Dolph. I just want to get something straight... you keep saying that you're the World Heavyweight Champion. As if this belt makes no difference! As if the record books don't say that at WrestleMania I beat you for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 29!" He shrugs his shoulders and clutches the belt, "And I'd also like to clear up you saying something about this past Monday where you backed down to let me think I can beat you? Again, doesn't the record book show that I beat you for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 29!?" He looks for the answer from the crowd and the 'Yes!' chants once again break out. Ziggler bites down on his lip in frustration and glares right up the ramp at Bryan, whom continues to lead the chants with the WWE Universe. Ziggler tells him to shut up, "Shut your mouth! I'm sick of hearing you speak! You can't beat me and you know it! You know damn well that this Sunday I am winning that match! You know damn well I am the true World Heavyweight Champion! Don't insult me!" He continues to shout at Danielson as he looks around the arena, suddenly bolting towards the ring! He hops right in as Ziggler starts to get down the ladder and Bryan manages to catch his leg, dragging him down and dropping him with a hard clothesline! Bryan hits a couple more clotheslines before setting up for the Running Knee, only for Ziggler to drop to the mat and roll out of the ring. Bryan hoists his World Heavyweight Championship back up once again and pumps it up to the WWE Universe, Ziggler backing up the ramp while holding the back of his head in frustration.
Returning, The Kings of Wrestling's music hits and the two come out from the back and sit at ringside alongside Michael Cole and Josh Mathews. Cole asks about them going into the tables match this Sunday at Extreme Rules against The Usos and if they think they can get the job done. Cesaro says they will walk out champions and Ohno claims that they should have never lost the belts, it was a fluke.
WWE Tag Team Champions The Usos defeat The Prime Time Players via pinfall in a non-title match
The bell rings as Jimmy starts off with Darren, the two going back and forth with fast paced action and multiple near falls come between the two. Jimmy gets the upper hand after hitting a huge leaping clothesline, leading to the tag of Jey. He comes rushing in and plows Darren to the mat a few times before getting hit with a suplex. The Prime Time Players make some frequent tags, O'Neill dominating a bit before Jimmy and Jey get a huge surge of momentum that leads to Jey sending Young off the apron and Jimmy hitting the splash off the top turnbuckle. He hooks both legs up for the pinfall.
As The Usos come to the middle of the ring to celebrate, the Kings of Wrestling strike from behind as the tag title belts are being handed over! Cesaro and Ohno beat them down and Ohno gets out of the ring, pulling a table out before shoving it into the ring. He takes another one and sends that one in, hopping into the ring alongside Cesaro. They pull up the tag team champions and simultaneously deliver powerbombs through the tables! The crowd boos as the KOW take the belts from the mat and raise them up to the crowd.
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 Natalya via submission in a non-title match The match starts off with Natalya bringing Kaitlyn down to the mat multiple times, getting a couple of near falls following some slams. Kaitlyn doesn't stay down for long, however, and gets a huge surge of momentum going. She ends up hitting the spear but instead of going for the pin, Kaitlyn proceeds to lock in a torture rack, Natalya flailing about before submitting.
The Diva's Champion gets up onto her feet and is awarded her title belt, Layla soon joining her in the ring. As the two celebrate their victory, AJ Lee's music hits and the number one contender comes skipping down and around the ring. She gets in and stares her Extreme Rules opponent down, laughing maniacally. She then takes a hold of Natalya and ends up locking in the Black Widow, Kaitlyn and Layla at first not reacting before making the save. AJ starts to throw a fit and takes Layla to the mat, slamming her head against the mat! Kaitlyn quickly throws AJ off and starts to stomp at her until she rolls out of the ring. AJ continues to laugh before skipping up the ramp, as she will meet Kaitlyn in a submission match on Sunday.
The cameras transition backstage to Wade Barrett walking down the halls, John Morrison soon joining him. The two shake hands as they will be in tag action - next.
John Morrison and Wade Barrett defeat Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins and United States Champion Dean Ambrose via pinfall The bell goes off with Barrett starting things off with Rollins, the latter hitting an early DDT that leads to the early momentum. Rollins and Ambrose make frequent tags together and keep pounding away at Barrett, keeping him grounded. After a couple of minutes, however, Barrett blasts Ambrose with a boot to the face and he makes the tag to Morrison - whom comes in and cleans house, leading to a commercial break. Returning, Rollins is in control of the match with Morrison on the mat. JoMo starts to fight back but Rollins ends up hitting a superkick, leading to a near fall. Rollins gets a couple more along the way and makes the tag to Ambrose, whom comes in and continues the domination. After a missed clothesline and a dropkick, however, Morrison tags in Barrett and he comes in and runs right through both opponents. He hits Dean with the bullhammer clothesline and Wasteland before tagging Morrison back in to hit Starship Pain and hook both legs up for the pinfall.
Morrison and Barrett come to the middle of the ring and high five each other, pumping their fists in the air in victory. They climb up the corners and continue to celebrate as Rollins steps around the ring and up the ramp, clutching his belt close to his chest. Ambrose soon follows, Barrett and Morrison stepping towards the ropes to motion for the belts as they look to take the championship belts away this Sunday at Extreme Rules.
Returning, Stephanie McMahon is in her office as Mark Henry and Sheamus head in. She asks what she can do for them and Sheamus laughs, "We just wanted to thank ya, Steph. For giving us the opportunity tonight to knock the heads off the shoulders of Harper 'n Rowan." Henry nods in agreement, saying it's going to be good. "We're getting tired of dealing with these freaks. Tonight, we're gonna take them out. Then this Sunday, we're gonna take Bray Wyatt and Big Show out. All I know for sure is... somebody gonna get they ass kicked." Henry heads out but Sheamus stays, crossing his arms next to Stephanie. "By the way, I think you've been doing a great job as commissioner this past year. I don't mean to stick my nose where it don't belong, but don't you worry about what your husband says, Steph, you're doing great." He smiles and heads out, McMahon raising her head up at the words.
The cameras transition to Matt Striker, whom introduces his guest at this time to be Big E Langston. He thanks Langston for his time and asks about how he feels going into this Sunday in the Extreme Rules Kickoff against Kofi Kingston. Langston chuckles, "It feels good. It feels good because I will be more ready for that match than any match I've ever had before. It is the first step to me going out into my own in this business. The first step out the door to being a top dog in the WWE... taking out a former World Champion like Kofi Kingston will put my name on the map and it will get people to notice me. I'm all in to win, Matt. I'm all in to win and this Sunday I plan on proving that by beating Kofi." He smiles and prepares to head off, only for Kingston to come charging from behind and hit Langston in the back! He clobbers him a few times and sends him face first into one of the production trunks nearby! Kingston backs off after multiple officials come rushing in to stop him, Kofi giving a warning to Langston that he is going to regret crossing him.
Returning, a promo video with ballroom dance music. Flashing and bright colors go about before a curtain appears, opening up to reveal "Fandango" and "Monday" beneath it.
Mark Henry defeats Luke Harper with Bray Wyatt, Big Show and Erick Rowan via pinfall The bell rings as the World's Strongest Man starts off by overpowering Harper in the corner for the opening minute. Harper begins to fight back with shots to the head and ends up taking Henry down a couple of times with a few near falls. He hits a huge big boot but Henry stays on his feet, coming back with a huge clothesline. Mark continues to control the match until Wyatt gets onto the apron, Mark getting distracted. Harper rolls him up but only gets a count of two. He keeps Henry grounded for the next couple of minutes and eventually hits the Discus Elbow as Henry gets back up. The World's Strongest Man doesn't fall, however, leading to Harper going for another elbow only to be caught and hit with the World's Strongest Slam! Henry hooks both legs up for the three count.
Henry's music hits as he rises onto his feet, pounding on his chest. He marches around the ring a bit as Sheamus soon joins him, removing his shirt. He motions for Rowan to come into the ring for the next match, Henry patting his partner for Sunday on the back in preparation. Wyatt begins to laugh on the outside as the signature of the family hits, the lights going out in the arena. They come back on with Erick Rowan standing in the ring across from Sheamus, the goat mask still on as the match between him and Sheamus comes next.
Sheamus defeats Erick Rowan with Bray Wyatt, Big Show and Luke Harper via pinfall The bell tolls and the two men charge forward, thrashing each other with vicious shot after shot back and forth. Rowan gets the upper hand after hitting a huge club across the back. He swings Sheamus around the ring, hitting a couple of hard clotheslines and slams in the process. The Celtic Warrior fights back after almost being pinned multiple times, hitting some hard slams of his own. He gets Rowan out to the apron and hooks a hold of the neck, clubbing across the chest ten times before pulling him back in the ring. He misses the Brogue Kick, however, and it allows Rowan to get back into things. He hits a huge chokebomb and goes for the Big Splash, only for Sheamus to roll out of the way. Both men get up, the Celtic Warrior charging with the Brogue Kick immediately! He hooks both legs up and gets the three count.
The crowd cheers as Bray Wyatt begins to storm around on the outside in frustration, removing his hat and Hawaiin shirt. He begins to laugh and wags his finger at the ring before sending Show and Harper in. They come right at Sheamus, starting to beat him down. Mark Henry comes into the ring with a steel chair, however, and starts to swing like crazy at the Wyatt Family. Harper gets out of the ring first, Rowan soon following. Show fights off both men but eventually gets clobbered right across the back with the chair a few times - sending him through the ropes and to the feet of the Wyatts. Show struggles to his feet and backs down with the family as Henry and Sheamus stare them down from in the ring, hoping they can be as successful Sunday as they were this week over The Wyatt Family.
Returning, the commentary team talks about how Extreme Rules is this Sunday and the card is big... the kickoff show will feature John Bradshaw Layfield, Trish Stratus and David Otunga as analysts as Josh Mathews hosts, with Big E Langston facing Kofi Kingston while Wade Barrett goes against Dean Ambrose for the United States Championship. In the main show... John Cena vs Roman Reigns in an Extreme Rules match; John Morrison vs Seth Rollins in a Falls Count Anywhere match for the Intercontinental Championship; AJ Lee vs Kaitlyn in a Submission match for the Diva's Championship; The Kings of Wrestling vs The Usos in a Tables match for the WWE Tag Team Championships; Cody Rhodes vs Randy Orton in a Texas Bullrope match; Bray Wyatt and Big Show vs Sheamus and Mark Henry in a Hardcore Tag Team match; Dolph Ziggler vs Bryan Danielson in a Ladder match for the World Heavyweight Championship; and Jeff Hardy vs CM Punk in a Steel Cage match for the WWE Championship. The team also thanks We As Human for the official theme song, 'Strike Back'.
The cameras transition to Matt Striker and he introduces his guest at this time to be Randy Orton. He thanks him for his time and mentions how Cody Rhodes isn't here tonight and he gets the opprotunity to face the World Heavyweight Champion in tonight's main event. He asks Orton if his focus will be taken away if he wins tonight, as it would probably put him in the title picture. "Will it take my focus away? No, Matt, because my focus is always to be at the top of this business. Cody Rhodes has gotten in my way and this Sunday all my focus will be to take care of him. To get through him and to move on to becoming the World Heavyweight Champion. So tonight when I'm done beating Bryan Danielson he can get a glimpse of his future if he is still the champion after Sunday night... whether it is him or Dolph Ziggler I don't care! I'm coming for them after I am finished with Cody Rhodes! I don't lose my focus, Matt... my focus is always on the same thing and that is to destroy everybody in my way... tonight, it just happens to be the World Heavyweight Champion. This Sunday, it will be Cody Rhodes." He heads off, the main event coming up next.
Randy Orton defeats World Heavyweight Champion Bryan Danielson via pinfall in a non-title match The bell rings and the two lock up, Danielson taking Orton to the mat early. He gets a couple of near falls and proceeds to apply multiple submission holds. Orton finally manages to get free after a couple of minutes and hits a huge clothesline. He starts to beat Danielson down in the corner and against the ropes, constantly forcing the referee to begin a five count. The Viper goes for an early RKO, only to be shoved away and hit with the Running Knee! Bryan goes for the pin but Orton wisely rolls out of the ring. Randy laughs as he leans against the barricade, only to turn right into a suicide dive from Danielson that sends both men into the barricade! A commercial break interrupts, and upon the return Bryan remains in control of the match. He continues to send Orton to the mat over and over again and starts to blast him with kicks to the chest and legs. He drops The Viper to one knee and goes for a huge kick to the back of the head, only for Orton to duck and leap up with the RKO! He hooks both legs up quickly but the World Champion manages to kick out. Orton gets frustrated and starts to toss Bryan all around the ring, eventually dropping him with the Rope Hung DDT. He gets fired up and starts to pound at the mat preparing for another RKO, only for Bryan to shove him away after he gets up - Orton knocking the official out of the ring! Bryan proceeds to hit the Running Knee and locks in the Yes! Lock. Orton begins to struggle immediately and after about twenty seconds in the hold, he starts to tap out. With no referee, however, it does no good for the World Champion. He lets go and looks to the outside, trying to get the referee up. He starts to stir but in the process, Dolph Ziggler comes into the ring and drops Bryan with the Zig Zag from behind! He slips out of the ring and starts to stir the referee up. He gets him into the ring, Orton taking advantage to hit the RKO and get the pinfall.
The Wichita crowd boos as Orton rises onto his feet, celebrating shortly by climbing up the corner. He finally steps out of the ring and starts to make his way to the back as Ziggler marches towards the timekeeper and takes the World Heavyweight Championship belt. He tosses it into the ring and looks under the ring, pulling out a ladder. He shoves it into the ring and follows, picking the ladder up and striking Bryan right in the face as he gets up! The WWE Universe continues to boo loudly as Ziggler sets the ladder up, taking the world title belt once again. He makes his way up to the top of the ladder and hoists the belt above his head, chanting 'Yes!' as the crowd responds with chants of 'No!' as Smackdown comes to an end - Extreme Rules on Sunday!

Orton should be next in line for the World Heavyweight Championship, I mean he beat Bryan Danielson the World Heavyweight Champion in the main event even if it was not without controversy because of Ziggler getting involved while the ref was out cold and Orton taking advantage, Orton pinning the champion he should get a World Heavyweight Championship match at the next pay per view depending on just who the champion is whether that be Ziggler or Danielson, Orton is entitled to a title match but I was expecting Cody Rhodes to show up but he didn't because if he had then the match would have went to a no contest for sure or perhaps Danielson would have won but we will never know now will we?
Orton said he doesn't care who the champion is whether it is Ziggler or Danielson he is coming their way and if he does then you are looking at the next World Heavyweight Champion, The Legend Killer The Viper Randy Orton but he has to get by Cody Rhodes at Extreme Rules which is in Orton's hometown of St. Louis which I can't stress enough because that is where Orton is from
Love your rundown of the final card for Extreme Rules, I will give my predictions later
Sheamus beating Rowan, could that be an omen of things to come this Sunday when he and Henry take on Bray Wyatt and Big Show considering Sheamus and Henry have had all the momentum heading into Extreme Rules and this is the first time we will see Show and Wyatt team up together so I wonder if they will be able to get along? Or if Big Show will turn on Bray Wyatt at Extreme Rules turning on Harper and Rowan?
Henry beating Harper, yet another omen that Sheamus and Henry could beat Show and Wyatt because at least with Sheamus and Henry, these 2 can actually get along and why? Because the 2 of them even though they can't really trust each other they share a common enemy that being the Wyatt Family and so far it has united them but with Show he continues to embarrass himself by being subservient to Wyatt taking Sister Abigail after Sister Abigail from him, like when is enough going to be enough? How much more can Show take?
Fandango THIS MONDAY!!!! HE FINALLY DEBUTS!!!! I can't wait, this is going to be something special that's for sure
Big E.'s interview was great up until Kofi attacked him from behind, because Kofi has to be such a buzzkill and he has been lately but at Extreme Rules will he get his ass kicked by Big E.? If he does it couldn't happen to a more deserving guy
Sheamus' comment to Stephanie McMahon, I wonder if Triple H will get wind of what Sheamus said to his wife? If he does then I wonder if the COO will target Sheamus by singling him out? Because Sheamus and Triple H have a history together namely their feud in 2010 in real life when Sheamus took Triple H out almost ended his career for good so if Sheamus/Triple H happens then I can easily see it being a filler feud for Triple H until SummerSlam where he ends up facing Cena
Morrison and Barrett make quite the team, I would have never have anticipated these 2 actually making a great team considering Barrett's past with Nexus and Corre and just being an utter douchebag to people and Morrison & Barrett beating the WWE Intercontinental Champion and the WWE United States Champion respectively, that could be an omen of things to come on Sunday but seeing Rollins and Ambrose team up like that makes me think of The Shield
Kaitlyn has a submission move, Torture Rack, and she uses it by making Natalya tap to it, will she be able to do the same to AJ this Sunday in order to retain her WWE Divas Championship? Torture Rack vs Black Widow, which move hurts more?
But seeing the way you started off Smackdown with Danielson and Ziggler to plug their match this Sunday, final confrontation, screamed epic right there

Extreme Rules is upon us...
Card looks good on paper. Especially the top 3 matches.
Reigns has to go over Cena as you've had Cena more than once take Reigns apart.
Expect Bryan & Punk to retain their titles.
Looking forward to seeing where this HHH/Steph think goes.
Kofi Kingston has dropped down your card since losing the title.
You could do with freshening up the mid card a little guys like Rey, Christian, Miz, Ryback. Morrison for example are starting to lose credibility.

May 19, 2013 from Scottrade Center in St. Lous, Missouri The cameras come into the Scottrade Center behind the official theme song "Strike Back" by We As Human, the crowd being looked over as Josh Mathews welcomes everybody to the Extreme Rules Kickoff! The cameras transition through the fans and come to a stage in the middle of the crowd with Mathews on the far left, and he introduces the panelists for tonight's Kickoff - WWE Hall of Famers, John Bradshaw Layfield and Trish Stratus - along with current WWE Superstar, David Otunga. He thanks all of them for being here tonight and asks about how it feels to take part in the first Kickoff Show. JBL throws his hands up, "It's great! They couldn't have picked a better guy! I mean, a better panel." He laughs as he turns over to Trish, whom laughs and agrees. Otunga also agrees, saying it is an honor. Mathews starts to explain what will happen in the Kickoff, "Tonight it is a special hour long Kickoff for our first one, but beyond this it will be a thirty minute pre-show program, which will always feature at least one match. You can watch from YouTube or WWE.com for free and also live on TV if you've ordered the pay-per-view. We will be breaking down some of the main card and have our match ups, in which case tonight we will have Kofi Kingston versus Big E Langston and Wade Barrett versus Dean Ambrose with the United States Championship on the line!"
Mathews moves on, mentioning how tonight is really the official in ring debut of Roman Reigns - going up against John Cena. Clips are shown from their history with Reigns debuting to cost Cena the WWE Championship against CM Punk, and stating that he came after Cena in order to make a statement. Cena would respond by warning Reigns that he would take him down at Extreme Rules, just as his manager Paul Heyman will down the road. Mathews asks JBL if John Cena is right in saying that Paul Heyman will leave Roman Reigns if he can't beat John here tonight. JBL shakes his head, "Absolutely not. We've all seen Roman Reigns. We've all seen how vicious this man is! Look at him! Look at all the guys Paul Heyman has managed over the years, Josh. Brock Lesnar, Rob Van Dam, Big Show... now it's Roman Reigns and you know what those first three had in common? Success! I see Roman Reigns being just as, or even more, successful as those other guys. Just look at them!"
Mathews proceeds to ask Trish Stratus who is at a bigger disadvantage in this match: John Cena because of his lack of knowing what Roman Reigns will be like in the ring altogether, or Roman Reigns for facing such an accomplished veteran. Trish sighs, "That's a really tough question. But I honestly feel that Roman Reigns will be at the bigger disadvantage because he may have taken John Cena down a few times, but he hasn't done it when John is expecting it the most or been at a hundred percent. Plus, we all know what John Cena has done in his career, and what he is capable of."
Josh nods and goes to David Otunga last, mentioning that he has been involved with a lot backstage in the past year or so with his legal expertise, working closely to the executives in the WWE - including Triple H. He asks if there is any chance at all, as John Cena has questioned, that Triple H has anything to do with this targeting by Roman Reigns. Otunga shakes his head, "I don't believe so. You can believe what you want to believe but I honestly don't think so. I believe that Roman Reigns is just a great talent that has associated himself with a great manager looking to make a name for himself, and he has already done just that win or lose tonight. I honestly think that if Triple H wanted John Cena to be punished, he'd just do it himself as he did clear as day at WrestleMania."
Mathews thanks them for their insight and says that they will be back after the first match up of the night, and he sends it down to ringside where Matt Striker and William Regal sit to provide commentary in tonight's Kickoff. They thank Josh for the welcoming and talk about how coming up first is Big E Langston versus Kofi Kingston! Big E Langston defeats Kofi Kingston via pinfall The bell rings and the two lock up early on, Langston using his strength to overpower his former teammate. In the first couple of minutes, Langston gets four near falls. Kingston starts to put up a big fight after ducking underneath a clothesline, and he sends Big E through the ropes and to the floor. Kingston keeps on going with some fast paced action only for Big E to catch him on the Trouble in Paradise attempt, dropping him with a spinebuster - followed up by the Big Ending. He hooks both legs up for the three count.
The fans cheer as Langston gets up onto his feet, pounding on his chest in celebration of his victory. He marches around the ring and throws his arms up and down, getting the crowd a little worked up. He stands over Kingston one more time and raises his fist in the air, giving a yell. He steps out of the ring as Kingston barely moves inside of the ring.
The cameras cut back up to the panel as Josh Mathews notes how the first match in the history of the WWE Kickoff has been completed, with Big E Langston being victorious over Kofi Kingston! JBL says that he believes Big E Langston could be a 'Big E deal'. He chuckles as the rest of the crew just shakes their head at the bad joke, despite giving little snickers themselves. Mathews mentions that later on, we will also have the United States Championship on the line between Wade Barrett and Dean Ambrose, but right now they're going to talk about a different championship match... the World Heavyweight Championship Ladder Match between Bryan Danielson and Dolph Ziggler. They go through the highlights of the rivalry with Danielson cashing in his Money in the Bank to beat Ziggler at WrestleMania, and over the weeks each man one upping each other one way or another in order to gain some momentum going into Extreme Rules.
Mathews asks the entire panel if they think Dolph Ziggler is right in saying he is the true World Heavyweight Champion and the only thing saying he isn't is that the belt is on Bryan's waist. JBL shakes his head, "I guess I'm the true WWE Champion then! I held on to that belt for a very, very long time, Josh! Maybe I'm still the true WWE Champion! Hahaha!" Trish raises her eyebrows and says she is surprised to be agreeing with JBL for once. "Maybe I'm the true Diva's Champion then, right?" Otunga laughs and says he hasn't held a title yet, but he agrees. "Look, you aren't the champion unless you are the champion. Dolph Ziggler is a little delusion... but, you know, he has the talent to win the World Heavyweight Championship back."
Mathews moves on to the Texas Bullrope Match between Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton, going over the history of Orton winning the Texas Bullrope Match with Dusty Rhodes years ago. They go more recently with Orton attacking both Goldust and Dusty this year, with Cody being forced to retaliate. At WrestleMania, Cody would beat Randy but The Viper wouldn't want the feud to end by attacking Rhodes in the weeks to come, leading to the Texas Bullrope match being announced.
Josh looks to the panel and goes to Otunga first this time, asking if he thinks Cody Rhodes can win two times in a row over Randy Orton - especially now with this stipulation. "He could, but Randy Orton has the experience going into this one - against Cody's own father." Josh asks Trish if she agrees with Randy Orton that he should be in the World Heavyweight Championship conversation quote - once he gets through Cody Rhodes at Extreme Rules. Trish says she doesn't really know, but he did beat Bryan this past week on Smackdown regardless of how he did it. Finally, Josh comes to JBL mentioning that he won his first WWE Championship in a Texas Bullrope Match and asks about how brutal that match is. "Well, Josh, my match was against the late, great Eddie Guerrero and you know who reminds me of Eddie Guerrero a little bit? Cody Rhodes. He has that spark to him that if you set it off he can come right at you and make you regret ever making him angry! But, I still think Randy Orton has the advantage of being in this match before and he already knows how brutal it is. You use that cowbell effectively and you're going to walk out the winner."
Mathews once again thanks them and says they will come back one more time to talk about the WWE Championship match between Jeff Hardy and CM Punk, but first we have the United States Championship match between Wade Barrett and Dean Ambrose. He sends it back to ringside with Matt Striker and William Regal.
Wade Barrett defeats United States Champion Dean Ambrose via disqualification; (Ambrose retains the United States Championship) The bell sounds and Barrett immediately dominates the match early on, sending Ambrose down with multiple slams, clotheslines and boots. He gets a few near falls and Ambrose gets frustrated, only for Barrett to keep control of the match. He keeps it going with the near falls until Dean rakes the eyes. He sends Barrett down with some hard dropkicks and aggressive moves, getting some near falls of his own. Barrett hits the bullhammer clothesline and goes for the Wasteland, only for Ambrose to slip free and hit a hard low blow! The referee calls for the bell.
Ambrose slowly rolls out of the ring and snatches his title belt away from the timekeeper. He quickly makes his way around the ring and starts to head towards the back as Barrett gets up against the ropes in the ring, staring Ambrose down in frustration. He gets out of the ring and starts to make his way towards the back, going right after the US Champion!
The cameras once again go to the stage where Josh Mathews talks about how a disqualification finish just took place, but we won't be seeing any of that during tonight's main show! The commentators nod in agreement as Mathews states that they don't have that much time left before the pay-per-view gets underway so he runs down the recent rivalry between CM Punk and Jeff Hardy, with Hardy interrupting Punk's WWE Championship celebration with Stephanie McMahon making the announcement that he is the number one contender. Over the weeks, Punk has stated that Hardy doesn't deserve a shot at the title as he just came back when it took Punk years of hard work and a Royal Rumble victory to get his opportunity.
Mathews asks JBL if CM Punk is right by saying that Jeff Hardy doesn't deserve to be handed a title shot. "Of course he doesn't deserve it! There are plenty of guys who deserve it! Heck, if you're just going to give it guys that just come back to the roster, maybe I should come back and get a title shot too!" Mathews moves on to Trish, asking her if she believes Jeff Hardy is going to have problems with CM Punk or if he'll fall to the same fate as he did a few years ago when Punk ended his career inside of a Steel Cage. Trish says that he may, because Punk has certainly become even better and stronger. She does say not to doubt Jeff Hardy, though. Ever. Lastly, Mathews goes to Otunga and asks who he thinks will win tonight - Otunga saying Punk will retain. He asks Trish and JBL as well, Trish going with Hardy as JBL goes with Punk. Josh Mathews proceeds on, thanking everybody for tuning in to the Extreme Rules Kickoff as the pay-per-view is underway in just ten seconds, "So if you haven't ordered it yet - do it now! I'm Josh Mathews, thanks to JBL, Trish Stratus and David Otunga - we'll see you during Extreme Rules!"

May 19, 2013 from Scottrade Center in St. Lous, Missouri A promo video begins to air behind the official theme song "Strike Back" by We As Human, the video highlighting first the feud between John Cena and Roman Reigns, with Reigns debuting alongside Paul Heyman in order to cost Cena the WWE Championship on Monday Night Raw following WrestleMania. The video shows each man beating each other down over the weeks in lead up to their Extreme Rules match. The video moves on to Bryan Danielson winning the World Heavyweight Championship from Dolph Ziggler at WrestleMania, leading to a Ladder match being made in the rematch. The promo shows the two trying to prove they can win the match by trying to outdo each other over the week. Lastly, the video shows Stephanie McMahon announcing Jeff Hardy's return and him being the number one contender to the WWE Championship. His rivalry with champion CM Punk is highlighted with Punk claiming that Hardy doesn't deserve the title shot, only for Jeff to continue to prove that he still has a lot left in the tank by winning and getting one over Punk during the weeks, including Hardy's Swanton Bomb through the table at their contract signing. The video comes to an end with a voice over sitting that tonight, the WWE follows Extreme Rules.
The cameras swing into the Scottrade Center as the pyros hit across the stage, Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler welcoming everybody to the show. They talk about how tonight's card features eight matches all with special stipulations to fit the Extreme Rules theme, including the likes of a Steel Cage Match, Ladder Match, Texas Bullrope Match and more! The group hand it over to the Spanish announce team and they give their bit. Cole and Lawler also mention the panel that was just on for the Kickoff Show, and send the cameras up to Josh Mathews, John Bradshaw Layfield, Trish Stratus and David Otunga. They all wave as Cole states that they will get to them later, but right now it is time to get the show under way! The bell rings and the camera goes to the ring as Justin Roberts announces the following is a Falls Count Anywhere Match for the Intercontinental Championship!
Falls Count Anywhere Match for the Intercontinental Championship John Morrison vs Seth Rollins(c)
The bell rings and the two come to the middle of the ring, locking up with each other. Morrison hooks a hold of the head and backs up to the ropes only to get shoved forward, the Intercontinental Champion hitting a hard clothesline. Rollins drags Morrison right back up and knocks him into the corner, hitting some forearms and knees. He lifts Morrison up onto the second turnbuckle and climbs up with him, hitting a few shots to the head before dropping Morrison with a hurricanrana! Rollins scurries right over and hooks both legs up only to get a two count. He stirs back up and drags Morrison to the ropes, clotheslining him over and onto the floor. Rollins follows right out and covers Morrison, getting a two count. The champion gets onto one knee and pulls John up by the back of the neck, pounding away at the forehead with fist after fist. He drops some elbows in too and pulls Morrison up, throwing him back first into the announce table. He looks around the arena in frustration before forcing Morrison up yet again, this time whipping him towards the barricade - slamming him back first against it. Rollins charges right at his rival only to get a boot to the mid-section. JoMo starts to toss forearms to the side of the face and sends Rollins back, following up by leaping onto the apron and coming off with a hurricanrana that sends the champion across the floor! Morrison gets onto his feet before going for the pin, only getting a two count. Both men get up and Morrison starts to pound Rollins back and back eventually getting him to the ramp. He goes back to the ring and runs forward, leaping up onto Rollins' shoulders, going for another hurricanrana only for Rollins to spin around, rush up the ramp and powerbomb Morrison down right in the middle of it! He hooks both legs up immediately but Morrison manages to kick out just in time. Rollins rolls over onto his back and clutches a hold of his face in frustration. He gets back up slowly and pulls John up the ramp and to the top of the stage, dragging him to his feet before throwing him face first into the stage set up. He continues to pound his head against the screen but Morrison catches one, tossing Rollins into it! He follows Seth as he stumbles to backstage, the cameras eventually catching up with them. Morrison throws Seth shoulder first into one of the production trunks and then into the concrete wall. Rollins stumbles forward and Morrison follows, only to get a mule kick to the gut. The champion takes the challenger by the hair and throws him down the halls before grabbing one of the production trunks, pushing it down the hall and right into Morrison! The referee comes rushing in as Rollins manuevers the trunk and heads around, only to see Morrison isn't there. Suddenly, the challenger comes leaping around the corner with a trash can and blasts Rollins right in the head! He then tosses it into the hands of Seth and dropkicks it right up into his face, going for the pin afterward only to get a two count. John gets to his feet again and pulls Rollins along, making his way through the halls again. The two eventually emerge back out to the entrance, Morrison firing away with shots to Rollins. The two get to the edge of the stage and JoMo ducks underneath a shot, shoving Rollins right off the stage and to the floor! The crowd gives a loud reaction in shock as Morrison drops onto one knee, looking around the arena. He gets back up and turns around slowly, measuring up a bit. He suddenly leaps for a moonsault off the stage but Rollins rolls out of the way! Both men remain laid out on the floor as the WWE Universe breaks into a "Holy sh*t!" chant, Rollins struggling to his feet first. He looks around the arena with a laugh and waits for Morrison to get up, and he does very, very slowly. JoMo struggles to stay up and turns right into a superkick! Rollins hooks both legs up for the three count.
Winner of the match and still Intercontinental Champion, Seth Rollins (11:34)
The fans boo as Rollins gets back onto his feet, backing towards the edge of the stage. He leans up against it and laughs as he pumps both fists up into the air. The referee comes back up with the Intercontinental Championship, handing it over to Rollins. The replay airs to the finish of the match with Morrison going for the moonsault off the stage, only to miss - allowing Rollins to drop him with the superkick and get the pinfall. Back live in the arena, medics come and check on Morrison as Rollins stands atop the stage over the commotion with the belt held high over his head.
The cameras cut backstage to Matt Striker and he introduces his guests at this time to be Antonio Cesaro and Kassius Ohno, the Kings of Wrestling. He thanks the two for their time and asks what they think about this possibly being their last shot at the WWE Tag Team Championships. Cesaro laughs, "It will be our last shot, Matt. It will be our last shot because we will walk out with those belts around our waists just like we should have at WrestleMania when they were stolen away." Ohno agrees and puts his arm around Antonio, agreeing with him. Striker re-iterates, stating that he meant if they lose, they wouldn't get another opportunity. Ohno immediately gets frustrated, "Look! We aren't going to lose tonight! We aren't losers, we're the Kings of Wrestling! We walked into this company a year ago and ever since then we have dominated the tag team division... even if we were to lose - which we will not do - we deserve the tag team titles and they should be around our waists no matter what!" The two head off for their match.
Tag Team Tables Match for the WWE Tag Team Championships The Kings of Wrestling vs The Usos(c)
The bell rings and the two sides come running to the middle of the ring, trading blows back and forth before spilling outside of the ring. Jey takes Kassius right over the barricade with a dropkick and runs over to Cesaro, double teaming him with his brother. They take Antonio down and Jimmy pulls up a table, setting it up quickly. They go to toss Cesaro through it but Ohno makes his way over and moves the table out of the way as his partner is dropped. Kassius shoves the table forward and jams it right into the guts of The Usos. He grabs Jey by the hair and drags him over the table, swinging him face first into the steel steps. He turns his attention to Jimmy and clothesline him to the floor, Cesaro getting up to join in on the double team. They drag Jimmy up and prepare to put him through the table, only for Jey to clip their legs out from behind. He hops up and starts to trade shots with Ohno, Jimmy getting up to trade blows with Cesaro. The two pairs break off on opposite sides of the ring, with Jimmy getting rocked with a flapjack into the barricade by Cesaro. He proceeds to whip the tag champion back first into the ring apron as Jey gets hit with a slam into the steel post back first. Cesaro brings Jimmy into the ring and slides a table in, coming right after him only to get hit with a leaping forearm. Jimmy gets some momentum going and sends Cesaro down to the mat a few times only to blindsided by Ohno with a clothesline. The Kings of Wrestling once again begin a double team beat down, keeping Jimmy from doing any damage. The duo begin to set up the table in the middle of the ring and move back over to Jimmy as Jey sets one up on the outside. He hops onto the apron and goes to the top turnbuckle, leaping off to take both members of the KOW out! The Usos both get up and get fired up with the crowd. They begin to chant their name as they push Cesaro out of the ring to begin their focus on Ohno. They double team him and get him against the ropes before double dropkicking him over the ropes and onto the apron. Jey backs up and runs to Kassius, leaping in the air and over him for a sunset flip only for Kassius to hold onto the ropes. Jimmy comes charging forward and leaps high in the air, clipping Kassius with a clothesline - Jey forcing him down with a powerbomb and through the table set up on the outside! Kassius Ohno is eliminated. The crowd cheers as The Usos both stagger to their feet, looking across to Cesaro getting back up inside of the ring. He pulls the table in the ring and puts it up against the corner before turning to Jey, blasting him with a kick to the gut. He then blasts Jimmy with a clothesline and drops Jey with a hold of the legs. He looks around the arena and starts the Big Swing, going around ten times before sending Jey through the table set up in the corner! Jey Uso is eliminated. Cesaro flexes his muscles and turns to Jimmy, whom hits a huge superkick! Jimmy steps out of the ring and takes another table, pulling it into the ring. He sets it up in the middle of the squared circle and moves over to Antonio, pulling him near the table. He goes for a suplex but Cesaro uses his strength to come back down and he lifts Jimy up, going to drop him with a forward suplex only for Jimmy to kick free and roll down Antonio's back, snapping a huge superkick into Cesaro as he turns around! Antonio staggers and collapses onto the table, giving Jimmy the opportunity to climb up to the top turnbuckle and jump right off, splashing right through the table!
Winners of the match and still WWE Tag Team Champions, The Usos (8:17)
Jey returns to the ring to catch his brother in his arms, helping him up and embracing in celebration of retaining the titles. The duo are given the belts by the official and they raise them up to the WWE Universe, whom gives them a solid pop. The replay airs of all the eliminations with the first one coming by Kassius Ohno being powerbombed through a table on the outside, Jey Uso going through a table set up in the corner thanks to a swing by Antonio Cesaro and the finish of the top rope splash through a table by Jimmy Uso to Cesaro. Back live, The Usos continue the celebration with the WWE Universe with the "U-So!" chants back and forth as Cesaro remains laid out in the middle of the ring, Ohno crawling in to check on him.
The cameras transition backstage to Cody Rhodes talking to his brother, Goldust, and assuring him that he will be fine on his own. Cody heads off after embracing his brother as a promo video begins to air, going back to after the No Way Out pay-per-view with Randy Orton attacking both Goldust and Dusty Rhodes, infuriating Cody Rhodes. He and Orton would go back and forth leading up to WrestleMania exchanging brutal beat downs and harsh words, Rhodes would manage to come out victorious upon the Grandest Stage of Them All, only for the feud to continue and get even more personal over the weeks, eventually leading to a Texas Bullrope Match being made for Extreme Rules. The video concludes with Orton using the bullrope on multiple superstars over the week the old footage of him using it on Cody's father, Dusty, years ago and Cody attacking Randy in frustration before their match tonight.
Texas Bullrope Match Cody Rhodes vs Randy Orton
The bell sounds after the two are tied together and Rhodes immediately pulls Orton close to him, hitting a headbutt. Rhodes starts to fire away with elbows to the face and kicks to the stomach, backing The Viper up into the corner. Rhodes steps out through the ropes and pulls the rope across Orton's throat as he stands on the steel steps near the post. He yanks away at it as Randy struggles trying to pull free. As Cody eases up and steps back up onto the apron, however, Orton hangs him up on the ropes and flips him right over into the ring, wrapping the rope around his throat while in a sitting position. Orton forces him up and leans back into the corner, talking in Rhodes' ear before calling him stupid, driving a knee into the tailbone. Rhodes drops onto one knee and Orton drags him to the middle of the ring before dropping a knee across the back of the neck. He goes for a pin but only gets a two count. He slides out of the ring and drags Rhodes towards the corner, looking around the arena and licking his lips - forcing Rhodes shoulder first into the steel post with a strong pull! Orton continues to laugh as he slides in and out of the ring to get to the other side, dragging Cody across once again - slamming his shoulder into the next post. He does it the third time and prepares for the fourth, only for Cody to wrap his legs around the bottom ropes. Orton moves over and starts to club Rhodes across the head over and over. He cups the cowbell and swings that down across the back of the head repeatedly! Cody yells out in pain with each shot as Orton seethes at the mouth, rushing to the corner and slamming Rhodes shoulder first yet again into the post. The Viper hooks a hold of the head and pulls Cody out for the DDT off the apron and he delivers it to a loud, mixed reaction from his hometown crowd. Orton slowly rises with his eyes bulged and he cranks his neck around a bit before forcing Rhodes up yet again, pushing him against the ring. He slaps his former protege a few times before whipping him into the barricade. Orton marches forward and stands over Cody as he sits against the barricade, suddenly jumping up with a low blow! Orton collapses across the barricade as Rhodes struggles back onto his feet, still wobbly. He takes the bullrope and wraps it around Orton's throat yet again, backing to the steel post. He pulls the rope free and gets back into the ring, moving to the opposite side of the steel post as Orton. The Viper begins to yell in anger, telling Cody 'no', only to receive a psychotic nod - Rhodes slamming Orton's shoulder into the post over and over again! He finally stops after doing it six times, Orton leaning his head up against the post and receiving a huge big boot from Cody! Rhodes slides into the ring and forces Orton back in, covering him only to get a two count. Cody staggers back up and places his foot down on Orton's throat, choking him for about ten seconds before letting off. He gets down in Randy's face and smack talks before mounting on top - pounding away with fists to the head. He takes the cowbell and jabs it into the top of the head, Orton trying to cover up as best he can. Cody finally lets off and slips out of the ring, going through the middle of the rope in order to stabilize Orton. He reaches under the ring and grabs a steel chair, stepping onto the apron. He lets Orton get up and jabs the chair into the side. Rhodes throws a couple more and then swings it across the back! He tosses the chair into the middle of the ring and steps back in, pulling Randy to the middle - setting up for Cross Rhodes. The Viper slips free, however, and hits a huge clothesline. He pulls Rhodes up again and wraps him in a sleeper hold with aid of the rope. He takes the cowbell in the process and drives it up into Rhodes' face. He drags it hard but Cody manages to grab a hold of it with his free hand and uses all of his strength and rage to pull it away. He starts to jab his elbow into Orton's gut and breaks the hold, dropping him with the Cross Rhodes right in the middle of the ring! The WWE Universe pops as Cody hooks both legs up fast, only to get a two count. Rhodes rolls off in frustration, kicking at the mat. After taking a moment to get himself together, he once again forces Orton up, pushing him back into the corner. He climbs onto the second turnbuckle and begins to drive the cowbell into the head - hitting ten times. He drops down and lets Orton wobble a bit before climbing to the top turnbuckle. Rhodes looks out to the crowd and takes a deep breath - leaping for his signature moonsault only for orton to reverse it into the RKO right on the chair thrown in from earlier! The crowd explodes as Orton slowly rolls Rhodes over, hooking the far leg up for the pinfall.
Winner of the match via pinfall, Randy Orton (14:57)
Orton rolls over onto his back as the referee moves towards him, undoing the bullrope. He eventually gets it undone and allows Orton to rise before appointing him the winner. The replays show from the key points in the match, with the finish coming last with Rhodes' moonsault being reversed into an RKO right down on a laid out steel chair. Live in the arena, Orton stands over Rhodes before exiting the ring as Cody is checked on, seemingly completely unconscious. Orton gets to the top of the stage and takes another look down to the ring, spreading his arms wide in taunt. He makes his way towards the back.
The cameras transition to a promo video for the upcoming June pay-per-view, Battleground, with the theme song "Trenches" by Pop Evil playing in the background. 'Battleground' takes place on June 16th from the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois. The cameras proceed to transition to ringside where the commentary team talks about how Battleground should be a good one but that is weeks away, tomorrow night a special guest on Monday Night Raw: Vin Diesel. As the group begins to talk about Diesel being on Raw, the signature of The Wyatt Family hits as the lights go out. The family appears on the titantron after Bray lights up his lantern. "Tonight... it ends. St. Louis... we're here." He blows the lantern out, as the Wyatt's proceed to make their signature entrance.
Hardcore Tag Team Match Mark Henry and Sheamus vs Bray Wyatt and Big Show with Luke Harper and Erick Rowan
The bell rings and as soon as it does, Harper and Rowan hop into the ring and jump Henry and Sheamus from behind. Show and Wyatt stay back as Harper and Rowan take Sheamus down before turning their attention to Henry, pounding away at him in the corner with punches and kicks. They rock Henry down onto the mat and drag him to the outside, beating him down some more against the steel steps. Sheamus gets up inside of the ring and tries to go out of the ring, only for Wyatt to come from behind and club him across the back! He pounds away over and over before whipping him towards Show, whom catches him with a military press after a stall in the air. He places his foot on the upper back and presses down as hard as he can. He finally drags Sheamus up and hands him off to Wyatt, whom fires away with knees to the stomach and clubs across the back, followed up by a huge swinging neckbreaker. He goes for the pin but Sheamus kicks out. Wyatt gets onto both knees and orders Show to beat down the Celtic Warrior. He proceeds to stomp on Sheamus and drags him up into the corner, sending a huge smack to the chest. Wyatt, meanwhile, gets out of the ring and pulls out a kendo stick - coming back in. As Show holds Sheamus by the chin, Wyatt swings the kendo into the midsection repeatedly! On the outside, Henry begins to break free from Rowan and Harper. He throws Rowan face first into the steel post and drops Harper with a clothesline. The World's Strongest Man gets into the ring and steps up behind Wyatt, clubbing him across the back of the head. Henry proceeds to fire off at Show, eventually clotheslining him over the ropes and to the floor. Sheamus picks up the kendo stick and moves around Henry, swinging the kendo into the stomach of Harper and then the head of Rowan! Henry pulls Wyatt up in the corner and slams him with clothesline after clothesline, eventually pulling him out to hit the World's Strongest Slam! He gets back up instead of going for the pin, however, and marches over to Sheamus. The two talk things over before going back over to Wyatt, Henry dragging him up by the hair. Sheamus backs up, pounding at his chest in preparation of the Brogue Kick. Before he can run forward, however, Rowan takes his ankle from the outside. Harper takes the other one and they trip Sheamus to the mat. They drag him out of the ring and slam him head first into the steel steps! Henry charges forward but stops himself in the corner, turning to see Show getting back in the ring. He steps up but gets hit with an elbow to the face. Wyatt is handed a chair from Harper on the outside and he comes forwad, hitting Henry right in the back of the knee! Show comes into the ring and Wyatt drops the chair to the mat, ordering Show to hit the Knockout Punch. Show clutches his fist and takes a moment, Wyatt continuing to order it. Show finally sends it right into the jaw of Henry, causing him to collapse right to Wyatt - whom hits the Sister Abigail right down to the mat. Instead of going for the pin, however, Wyatt takes the chair and slams it across the chest! He hits it a couple more times vertically as Rowan and Harper continue to beat Sheamus down on the outside. Bray finally stops and tosses the busted up chair across the ring. He points to Show and orders him to pin Henry. After some hesitation, Show steps forward to Wyatt and drops onto both knees, spreading both arms. He covers Henry and gets the three count.
Winners of the match via pinfall, Bray Wyatt and Big Show (6:56)
Harper and Rowan join Wyatt and Show in the ring, the patriarch laughing loudly as he keeps his arms spread. He drops on both knees and spreads his arms out as his family stands behind him, Wyatt looking down at Henry. He whispers something his ear before re-emerging back on both knees - giving a shout to the WWE Universe, "Follow the buzzards!" The signature of the family hits and the cameras proceed to transition to ringside at the commentators table where Cole and Lawler take a moment to talk about how dominant The Wyatt Family is and question whether anybody can ever stop them based off of what they've seen so far. The duo proceed to talk about how before Extreme Rules officially got under way there was the first ever Kick Off Show, something they will be doing for every pay-per-view going foward. For more on that, the panelists for the Kickoff Show - John Bradshaw Layfield, Trish Stratus, David Otunga and host, Josh Mathews.
The cameras head up to the stage where he panelists are, Josh Mathews thanking Michael Cole for the transition. Mathews re-introduces himself along with the panelists, mentioning how in tonight's Kickoff Show we saw Big E Langston defeat Kofi Kingston and Wade Barrett defeat Dean Ambrose via disqualification with the United States Championship on the line. He asks the group what they thought of the first Kickoff Show. JBL laughs, "I loved it! You talk about giving fans their moneys worth and then you give them two free matches!? Genius! Vince McMahon is a genius!" Trish agrees that she loved it, "Although I would have liked to see Dean Ambrose not chicken out and face Wade Barrett like a man. He talked such a big game and then just went and got himself disqualified." Otunga says he couldn't agree more, it is a great idea by the WWE. Mathews goes forward, asking the group what their favorite part of the show was so far and what they are most looking forward to still to come. JBL goes first, stating that he loved how the match between Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes went down, saying that Orton established himself as still a top talent and Cody Rhodes as part of the future. He then says he is really looking forward to 'Dolph Ziggler taking the World Heavyweight Championship back from that pest, Bryan Danielson'. Trish shakes her head at the comment about Bryan, "I personally really loved seeing The Usos beat The Kings of Wrestling and you know me, I'm looking forward to the Diva's Championship match... but I'm also looking forward to seeing Jeff Hardy back in the hunt for the WWE Championship and getting the shot tonight against CM Punk." Otunga throws his hands up, "I've loved everything so far, Josh. Especially the Intercontinental Championship match. What a job by Seth Rollins to take advantage of a bold and silly mistake by John Morrison. As for later on, I'm really looking forward to seeing Roman Reigns get his true debut match against John Cena. Based off what we've seen in small sample sizes, I can't even imagine what Roman Reigns is capable of, especially under the leadership of Paul Heyman." Josh thanks the panel for their time here tonight, mentioning also that JBL will be joining the WWE commentary family starting this Monday night on Raw! He sends it off back to ringside.
Cole and Lawler talk about how they will welcome JBL with open arms to the commentary team regardless of their differing opinions. They laugh about it but then move on to talking about what is coming up next - a Ladder Match for the World Heavyweight Championship. They go back to No Way Out, where Dolph Ziggler would retain the World Heavyweight Championship in an Elimination Chamber match. Bryan Danielson, the Money in the Bank holder, would come out and flaunt his briefcase, hinting at cashing in. However, he would go on to announce he was cashing in at WrestleMania and upon the big stage, Bryan would defeat Dolph one on one to become the World Heavyweight Champion for the second time in his young WWE career.
Ladder Match for the World Heavyweight Championship Dolph Ziggler vs Bryan Danielson(c)
The bell rings and the two come to the middle of the ring, Bryan giving a smile as Ziggler looks up at the championship hanging from above. Bryan starts up the 'Yes!' chants with the crowd, only for Ziggler to respond by popping him in the chin with a punch! He starts to fire away and takes Danielson by the hair and tights, swinging him shoulder first into the steel post. Ziggler steps out to the apron and pulls the World Champion down, slamming him up into the barricade. Dolph proceeds to take one of the ladders on the outside and shoves it into the ring, going in and setting it up. He quickly starts to make his way up only for Bryan to come rushing up from behind and take him down, Ziggler smacking his face off the rungs as he slides off. Bryan starts to throw kicks to the legs and chest, rocking Ziggler up into the corner. He takes a hold of the ladder and rips it down fast, slamming it right into Ziggler's body! Bryan sets it right back up and begins to make his way up the ladder after struggling with it a bit, Ziggler staggering over. He grabs a hold of Danielson's leg and yanks him down, tossing him through the ropes. Ziggler goes halfway up the ladder but leaps down as Bryan gets back into the ring and the two start to trade punches back and forth, the crowd going away with 'Yes!' chants for Bryan and 'No!' for Dolph. Danielson gets the upper hand and rocks Ziggler up against the ropes and he clotheslines him right over. Instead of going back up the ladder, Bryan runs across the ring and hits off the ropes - returning with a suicide dive only for Ziggler to move and let Bryan fly right into the announce table ribs first! Ziggler sends a huge kick up into the ribs and slams Danielson off the announce table once again before swinging him into the ring apron. The World Champion drops onto the floor in pain as Ziggler marches over to a ladder, picking it up from the floor. He turns to Bryan as he gets up and drives it right into the ribs - pushing Danielson back to the announce table, pinning him there. Ziggler pulls the ladder back before jabbing it forward once again! Bryan leans over the ladder, yelling out in pain as Ziggler lets the pressure go. He drops the ladder down and takes Bryan by the hair, dropping him on the ladder with a suplex. The crowd boos as Dolph rises back up, hopping onto the apron. He mocks the crowd and taunts them, slowly getting back into the ring. Instead of going up the ladder for the win, he continues to mock the crowd, even giving some 'Yes!' chants before he starts to ascend the ladder. As he gets to the top, however, Bryan gets to the bottom of the ladder and starts to shake it as much as he can. Ziggler starts to laugh at him and takes a couple steps down, dropping down next to Danielson. He forces the champion up and goes to toss him into the ladder only for Bryan to put his leg up and stop it. He hits a huge headbutt and fires away with kicks to Ziggler's legs! He keeps going with the kicks and gets Ziggler stuck in the corner, the kicks not stopping one bit - each coming with the chant from the crowd of 'Yes!', Bryan finally coming to an end with one huge blast to the face! He backs off and comes rushing forward for the Running Knee only for Dolph to duck underneath and send Bryan over the ropes, the World Champion landing on the apron. He leaps up and hits a kick to Ziggler's head, but Dolph responds quickly by coming right back at Danielson, diving through the ropes with him - both men driving into the barricade, Danielson immediately yelling out and grabbing his ribs. Ziggler stirs up first and takes one of the ladders once again, jamming it down onto the midsection of Bryan. He goes back onto the apron and enters the ring, staggering back towards the ladder. Bryan comes following after him though, dragging the ladder with him. He gets in the ring and sets the ladder up against the one already up, climbing up on the same side Dolph is. As Ziggler starts to reach for the belt, Bryan hits him with a kick to the back of the knee. He throws a couple more and Dolph slips a little bit. Ziggler starts to throw some shots of his own and both men wobble a little, Bryan takes the arm and locks his legs around it. He uses all of his strength to stay on the ladder and tries to apply the Yes! Lock at the same time, Ziggler managing to get his arm free. He throws some elbows to Bryan's face and almost sends him to the mat, but after he holds on, Dolph sends Danielson down to to the mat with the Zig Zag from atop the ladders! Both men remain laid out as the crowd gets very loud, neither man moving. After an entire minute, Ziggler starts to stir to boos from the fans. As Bryan begins to move, however, they explode. Ziggler gets on his feet first and stumbles over to Bryan, tossing him through the ropes. He shoves the ladder down that Danielson set up earlier, and leans against the one in the middle. He takes some deep breaths before staggering up it. As he gets halfway, however, Danielson comes back into the ring and takes the downed ladder. He wedges it between the ropes and a couple of the rungs near the bottom of the ladder before climbing up on it. Bryan takes Dolph by the tights as he is reaching for the belt, Ziggler waving his hand about. He starts to slip a little as Bryan gets right up behind him, hooking a hold of the waist with one arm. The World Champion sends a couple of headbutts to get Dolph to let go of the top of the ladder, and once he does he goes crashing onto the ladder set up below! Danielson watches as Ziggler flops off and onto the mat, holding onto his back and kicking in pain. Danielson slowly makes his way up the rest of the ladder and takes the title belt, slowly pulling it down.
Winner of the match and still World Heavyweight Champion, Bryan Danielson (18:13)

The replay airs of the finish to the match with Bryan wisely setting up a ladder to drop Ziggler right down on in order to give him the time to win the match. Live in the arena, Bryan remains sitting atop the ladder, hoisting the belt up with both hands now as the crowd doesn't slow down one bit with the 'Yes!' chants. Meanwhile, down in the ring, Ziggler still lays. Bryan starts to come down from the ladder and exits the ring, hopping up and down as he makes his way towards the back, continuing the chants with the St. Louis fans.
The cameras cut backstage to Matt Striker and he introduces his guest at this time to be the WWE Champion, CM Punk. He thanks him for his time and asks about facing Jeff Hardy here tonight in a steel cage and how confident he truly is. "What do you mean truly? I'm the WWE Champion, I'm the best in the world, I'm CM Punk. Why wouldn't I be confident in beating Jeff Hardy of all people, Matt? Huh? This guy walks into this company three and a half years after I cost him his career in the exact same type of match and is handed a title shot against me. He gets handed a title shot against the best in the world... I have no reason to not be confident in beating him. No reason at all." He stares Striker down and scoffs, "You know, it's pretty funny. It's pretty frigin' funny that Jeff Hardy walks into this company and gets a title shot against me. It took me facing everybody in this business over and over again and a Royal Rumble victory to get my shot. But Stephanie McMahon just hires Jeff Hardy and gives him the opportunity? Yeah I know I've been saying it for weeks but it just keeps getting to me, y'know? It's even more motivation for me to end his career for a second time here tonight in front of all of his precious fans." Punk laughs as he heads off, getting some heat in the background from the crowd.

Layla leans over her friend as AJ is awarded the Diva's Championship. She holds it in her lap and starts to laugh psychotically, getting onto her feet. AJ starts to skip all around the ring with the belt over her shoulder. She blows a kiss to Layla and steps out of the ring, continuing her skipping fest by going up the ramp. She goes all around the stage before making her way to the back, leaving Layla and Kaitlyn in the ring in frustration over the loss as there is a new Diva's Champion.
The cameras cut backstage to Stephanie McMahon in her office with Triple H and the two are talking things over, Stephanie seeming slightly annoyed with her husband. Randy Orton comes in with a cocky smile across his face and interrupts the two. He crosses his arms across his chest, "So let me just get this off my chest tonight so I don't have to do it later. Beating Bryan Danielson this past week on Smackdown and beating Cody Rhodes tonight in convincing faction, I feel, puts me in position to get a World Heavyweight Championship match. So, when am I getting my shot? I'll do it anytime! I'll do it right here tonight in another match!" Stephanie throws her hands up and Hunter stops her, saying he'll take care of this. He turns to Orton, "You want a World Heavyweight Championship match? You want to just walk in here in the middle of a pay-per-view and demand a title shot? Who do you think you are? Who do you think you are!?" The two stare down as Hunter puts his hand on Orton's shoulder, "I'll think it over. Now get out of here." They continue to stare down, The Viper nodding before heading out. Triple H turns back around to see Stephanie in shock. "Are you kidding me? You're going to think about it? After the way he just acted towards us?" Stephanie just shakes her head and leaves the office, leaving Hunter in confusion.

Extreme Rules
I loved the Kickoff Show before the pay per view because it really hyped it up, really made it seem all the more worthwhile especially plugging tonight's matches but also the Panel alone where you had Josh Matthews, WWE Hall of Famer the legendary Trish Stratus the greatest WWE Women's/Divas Champion of all time and then you had Otunga there as well which made it even better especially with their predictions too about how each match would go, I wonder if you will have Kick-Off Shows now on each pay per view before the actual PPV starts?
Big E. Langston beating Kofi Kingston, I predicted it would happen and I was right, Big E. beating Kofi in convincing fashion and especially in the fashion he did it in, I would say he dominated Kofi and Kofi is a former World Champion here in your diary and Big E. dominated him, it makes me wonder just what the future has in store for Big E.? Whereas Kofi on the other hand the only thing left for Kofi to do would be to probably turn face, the only way I think he would ever become relevant is if he were to do that once again but for Big E. I wonder if now he will go after the WWE Intercontinental Championship? Or if he will go after the WWE United States Championship?
Wade Barrett beating Dean Ambrose by DQ, I definitely did not predict this to happen but Ambrose getting himself DQ'ed just to save his title just proves to you that Ambrose is willing to do anything to retain his title even if it means getting counted out or DQ'ed the man has learned well, I mean look at who mentored him look at who trained him look at who he learned from...The Undertaker...so Ambrose just by him retaining his WWE United States Championship it makes me wonder if he could beat Barrett then I wonder if whoever comes up against him next if he will beat them or use cheap parlor tricks just to ensure he walks away with his title? As for Barrett I have loved him ever since he has turned babyface here in your diary it makes him all the more special, and hopefully it leads to Barrett main-eventing again this time as a face
Seth Rollins beating John Morrison in order to retain his WWE Intercontinental Championship in Falls Count Anywhere, this match was great, had everything especially that spot with Morrison trying to hit a moonsault off the stage on Rollins but Rollins moving out of the way just in the nick of time, that was an OMG! Moment of the Year, like a Holy crapmoment, that was brutal, it would have been even more awesome had he actually not missed and nailed Rollins with it, but Rollins taking full advantage of that mistake and hitting Morrison with that Superkick to retain his title, this match definitely has to go down as a show stealer that's for sure, so many high-flying spots here but the both of these men putting on a clinic, I was entertained here, but Rollins walking away with his title in tact, it makes me wonder just who can beat him for the WWE Intercontinental Championship?
The Usos beating Kings of Wrestling yet again this time in a Tables Match to retain their WWE Tag Team Championships, I called this, I knew Jimmy & Jey would retain their titles and I was right, even though Kings of Wrestling could have won this match it just didn't happen and why? Because The Usos had and have their number ever since winning those titles The Usos have seemingly gotten better and better as a team and not to mention they are brothers, twins, they have that natural chemistry as a team but also they grew up in this business, 2nd generation superstars, the sons of WWE legend Rikishi, I bet he's proud of his sons and what they have accomplished but as for Cesaro & Ohno now that they can't get another title opportunity as long as The Usos are champions I wonder where they go from here as a team?
Randy Orton goes over in his hometown of St. Louis, he had to, I mean they were in St. Louis, and the fact that he got his win back by beating Cody Rhodes at Extreme Rules especially in a Texas Bullrope Match, this just goes to show us that Orton he owns in Texas Bullrope Matches beating both the father Dusty and then his son Cody, this match was not only physical but it was a real war here but now that Orton seemingly has beaten Rhodes now their rivalry is definitely over after this and Orton he can set his sights on becoming champion again he can set his sights back on the World Heavyweight Championship whereas Cody Rhodes he has nothing to be ashamed of here because he took it to Orton and even though he lost he could have easily have won this match too but I wonder where he goes from here?
Bray Wyatt and Big Show beating Sheamus and Mark Henry in the Hardcore Tag Team Match, I definitely did not see this one coming that's for sure, but the only reason why Wyatt and Show won was because Big Show had no choice in the matter but also because he was the one who did all the heavy lifting in this match while Wyatt hardly did nothing in the match but Wyatt took full advantage anyway but Big Show I can see this being the moment where he finally realizes that Wyatt is just using him and because of that he ends up snapping on Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan but as for Sheamus and Mark Henry now that they have lost, I wonder where they go from here?
Bryan Danielson beating Dolph Ziggler yet again to retain his World Heavyweight Championship this time in a Ladder Match, he has beaten Dolph twice now, the first time at WrestleMania 29 and now for the 2nd time at Extreme Rules just goes to show us that Danielson is seemingly for real and that he is not a fly by night champion he is not a fluke especially if he can beat Ziggler not once but twice but the fact that Ziggler came up short again doesn't mean that he can't be champion again, he easily could be but now Ziggler even has to realize that Danielson is for real and that he definitely has Ziggler's respect because this Ladder Match definitely has to be a show stealer too but I wonder who Danielson will have to defend his title against next? As for Ziggler, just what is next for The Show-Off?
AJ becomes the new WWE Divas Champion by making Kaitlyn tap out, how ironic too, especially in a Submission Match for the WWE Divas Championship, these 2 divas are divas that are not just for show, they are not just pretty faces they can actually wrestle and they definitely proved it in my book here by putting on a wrestling clinic especially for the divas and that the divas locker room should take notice because that is how you wrestle a match but also AJ by becoming the new WWE Divas Champion, that will make her a marked woman in the locker room that's for sure because every diva is going to want to come after her especially now
Orton backstage with Triple H and Stephanie, if I didn't know any better I would say you are building up to The Authority
Fandango showing up tomorrow night on RAW, I can't wait
Roman Reigns whether we like it or not he beat John Cena, all be it by controversy because of Paul Heyman getting involved but it was in an Extreme Rules Match which means no DQ, you could do whatever you want, and Reigns by going over clean by going over Cena who is undoubtedly the face of the company and by doing that in his very first match on his very first pay per view just goes to show us that Roman Reigns is destined for great things, he is destined for the main event especially with Heyman in his corner as his manager
CM Punk beating Jeff Hardy in the Steel Cage to retain his WWE Championship, I knew Punk could do it, I knew Punk would win and he just continues to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt just why he deserves to be called "The Best in the World" he deserves to be called "The Face of the WWE" and by him beating Jeff Hardy in Jeff Hardy's first WWE PPV match in over 4 years, just goes to show us that Punk he will be WWE Champion for a long time
But the way you ended off Extreme Rules with the Wyatt Family showing up right after Punk/Hardy and Bray Wyatt and company showing up with Harper, Rowan and Big Show showing up while Wyatt takes full advantage attacking Jeff Hardy, I do have to wonder why now? Why the Wyatts would specifically target The Charismatic Enigma?

For RAW tomorrow night, here is hoping that for the WWE Championship in order to determine a new #1 Contender for the WWE Championship we end up having a 20-Man Over-the-Top-Rope Battle Royal to determine just who will face CM Punk at WWE Battleground for the WWE Championship? Or to determine a new #1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Championship we end up having a 20-man Over-the-Top-Rope Battle Royal to determine just who will face Bryan Danielson at WWE Battleground for the World Heavyweight Championship?
If we do have a battle royal for the #1 Contendership for the WWE Championship, who can I see being in it? Jeff Hardy, Big Show, Bray Wyatt, Erick Rowan, Luke Harper, Sheamus, Mark Henry, John Morrison, Kofi Kingston, Big E. Langston, WWE Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, John Cena, Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, Ryback, Barrett, WWE United States Champion Dean Ambrose, Ziggler and Swagger
If there is a battle royal for the #1 Contendership for the World Heavyweight Championship, then I could see Sheamus, Orton, Barrett, Ziggler, Swagger, Ryback, Cody Rhodes, Goldust, Morrison, Big E., Kofi, Henry, Christian, The Miz, WWE IC Champion Rollins, WWE US Champion Dean Ambrose, Cesaro, Ohno, Sandow and Fandango

Good pay-per-view here, including some nice matches on the kickoff show. I see most of the champions retained their titles except for the Diva's title, which I really don't care about. It was obvious both word champions were going to retain their titles, they weren't going to lose them just a month after winning them at Wrestlemania. Especially the WWE Title match; Jeff obviously wasn't going to get the belt just a month after returning to the WWE, though you used this to set up a feud with the Wyatt family. Maybe Bray is looking to add Jeff to the fold, the same as Big Show? Plus Roman Reigns gets a big win over the Franchise, so I'm guessing a big push is in order, but I'm guessing Cena will get his win back soon enough, since Orton got even with Cody. It'll be interesting to see where you go on the road to Battleground.

okey dokey, Extreme Rules, let's do this, What a great way to kick off Extreme Rules with two great pre-shows. Big E and Kofi was ehhh fine, but Ambrose getting DQ'ed against Wade Barrett, hopefully Barrett gets a re-match with No Disqualifaction Rules, but the actual show with Morrison and Rollins, surprised to see it kick off, and of course Morrison up to his crazy tricks by trying a moonsault off the stage but it doesn't work with Rollins getting the win against Morrison. The Next Match was Orton vs Rhodes and we all knew Orton was going to avenge his loss at WrestleMania. But great win for Orton that puts him in contention for a WWE or World Heavyweight Title Shot in the near future. Still the big hype on Vin Diesel appearing on RAW should be good, nice win for Wyatt and Show against Sheamus and Henry. And now you get a Ladder Match between Danielson and Ziggler in which is what I should say a great match but this time Bryan hangs on to the gold but how much longer will all these superstars get to Bryan's belt who knows, AJ wins the Divas Championship like as was expected. And even Reigns's victory over Cena as well. Hopefully this feud between Reigns and Cena ain't over which could only lead to a tag team match at SummerSlam between John Cena and The Rock vs Heyman's advocates, would be good to see Cena and Rock team up, never before and never again but who knows, Well I knew it Hardy wasn't going to win anyway, he was going to take risks and win it all, but suddenly the lights go out and it's Punk that gets the win, but then after you get the Wyatt Family coming after Jeff Hardy. That's a strange match between Bray Wyatt and Jeff Hardy in the near future. Kind of an eerie contest if you catch my drift, but I'm wondering who's going to be Punk's next opponent going to be against Battleground, great show man. Now make yourself welcome to reply on my WWF 1994 Diary.

Two pre-show matches? You are fancy. I like that you used the panel idea too, always good to see Trish Stratus. Big E Langston over Kofi Kingston is fine and I'd like to see a push for Big E. Wade Barrett/Dean Ambrose is a very original and interesting feud, glad Ambrose kept the belt though. Weird to still see John Morrison around and it makes me realize how much time has passed in this diary. Good match and Seth Rollins retaining was for the best. Last Chance? The Kings have to win. Oh, they don't. Surprising, maybe singles runs for them? I love what you've done with Cody Rhodes in this sim and a Texas Bullrope match is so fitting. Orton winning is not a bad move though. I still love that you put Big Show with the Wyatt Family and good to see them get a win and some momentum. Good job going back to the panel. Excellent Ladder match and I like the headbutts causing the end of it. Awesome idea for a divas submission match, though I feel like it would've worked better with someone like Natalya instead of Kaitlyn. Someone with a submission background. The tension between Stephanie and Triple H is fun. Big time match and clearly a huge rub for Roman Reigns as this can sky rocket him to the top. CM Punk retaining was expected as he recently won it and Jeff Hardy just returned. The Wyatts attacking could make for a fun rivalry. Overall a good show, it's just been so long in this diary that seeing Morrison and Hardy in 2013 is weird.

May 20, 2013 from the BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma
The Monday Night Raw intro video airs and the cameras swing into the BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler and newest member of the broadcast team - John Bradshaw Layfield - welcome everybody to the show just twenty four hours removed from Extreme Rules! Tonight, a twenty man battle royal will take place to determine the next number one contender for the WWE Championship, Jeff Hardy will be addressing The Wyatt Family after their attack last night, Fandango will debut and Paul Heyman will be here with his client Roman Reigns after the defeat of John Cena. Also, movie star Vin Diesel is in the building and will be here tonight as a special guest!
The WWE Universe is scanned over before going into the ring, Justin Roberts announcing the special guest star on tonight's episode of Monday Night Raw, star of Fast and Furious and Riddick - Vin Diesel! A solid pops come from the crowd as the mega star brings himself out to the stage, putting his arms out with a smile across his face. He makes his way down to the ring and is handed the microphone from Roberts, a small 'Vin Diesel' chant breaking out. He chuckles and thanks them for the warm welcome. "You know, it feels good to be here on Monday Night Raw for the first time. I've worked with a lot of WWE legends recently as you may know... in Fast and Furious I've been working alongside The Rock." The name gets a big pop as Diesel laughs once again, "We had a lot of fun together. Fast and Furious has been a big part of my life and I just wanted to thank each and every one of my fans for going on my turf in the movie theaters and for welcoming me into your turf in a WWE ring." He gives a clap to the WWE Universe, "I've also been working on another film lately..." Before he can say anything more, however, the theme music of CM Punk hits. The WWE Champion makes his way out to a very loud mixed reaction. Punk slowly makes his way down the ramp and into the ring, marching around with the WWE Championship raised high up above his head. He takes a microphone and throws the title over his shoulder, staring the guest star down.
"I'm sure you know about me already, I'm sure your buddy Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson told you about how last year at Summerslam he came back into this ring and went one on one with the true great one!" Punk adjusts his belt, "But let me formally introduce myself to you, Vin Diesel. I am the best in the world, I am the WWE Champion... I am... CM Punk." He stares down the guest star, whom just raises his eyebrows, asking Punk what he needs from him. "What do I need from you? Not much, really. What I need is to try and understand why you've been put in the middle of my ring. What I need is to know why the cameras are being pointed at a movie star and not the star of this business. Maybe the WWE forgot what happened last night at Extreme Rules... I retained my WWE Championship!" He holds the belt above his head once again before pulling it back down, getting closer to Diesel. The two stare down right up close and Punk once again begins to laugh before backing away. He shuffles the belt a bit, "I don't blame you though, Vin. I don't blame you... I blame all of these people. Blame all of these people for the reason I have to kick your ass right here and now to get you out of my ring." He drops the microphone and shoves Vin Diesel! The crowd gives a loud 'ooh' as the movie star puts his hands up, telling Punk to take it easy. "Look, Punk, I'll get out of the ring. You don't have to pick a fight with me... you see, I'm not just here to promote my movie Fast and Furious. I'm also here to mention that in a couple of months I have another movie coming out with another former WWE Superstar called Riddick..." Some of the fans start to cheer as Punk asks what Diesel is talking about. He raises both eyebrows and grows a big smile, wagging his finger to Punk, "Did I say former WWE Superstar? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I meant WWE Superstar: Batista!"
The WWE Universe explodes as the theme music of 'The Animal' hits! Batista emerges from the back and stands atop the stage, putting his hands on his hips with a smile. He marches across the stage and throws his hands up, getting the crowd going. He comes down the ramp and stops halfway, delivering his signature entrance with all the pyros behind him. He pounds on his chest and makes his way to the ring, getting in and staring Punk down. The crowd goes back and forth with chants of both men's names, Vin Diesel moving over next to Batista and giving him a handshake and embrace. The movie star heads out of the ring and starts to make his way to the back as Batista takes a hold of a microphone. "How's it going, Punk?" He laughs as the WWE Champion rolls his eyes, moving around a bit while rubbing at his chin. "What is this? Is this some kind of joke!? A month ago I got Jeff Hardy coming out here after being away for years and now I get another washed up pile of trash coming out to get in my face!? Let me guess, you want a shot at my WWE Championship? Well too bad! Because there is a battle royal here tonight and you're too damn late!" Dave walks around a little bit, staring Punk down. He breaks into a laugh and throws his arms out, telling Punk that he is far from too late. "You know, Punk, I think the reason us 'washed up piles of trash' are coming back is to get a chance to kick your ass and shut you up!" He gets a solid pop for the words before continuing on, "And for your information, I'm entering that battle royal tonight! And in that battle royal, I plan on tossing everyone over the top rope and getting what I came back for... the WWE Championship. So deal with it!" He drops the microphone as his music hits. He steps out of the ring and makes his way up the ramp and towards the back, Punk shaking his head in frustration as Batista is back!
Returning, the commentary team talks about what just went down to open up tonight's episode of Raw. They go back to Vin Diesel being the special guest star tonight only to be interrupted by CM Punk, whom would order the movie star to get out of the ring only for Vin Diesel to introduce his co-star in the upcoming fall movie, Riddick, back - Batista. The Animal would come down to the ring and announce he is back and he is taking part in the number one contenders battle royal later on in the night.
Wade Barrett defeats United States Champion Dean Ambrose via count out (Ambrose retains the United States Championship) The bell rings and Barrett sends Ambrose to the mat multiple times, the United States Champion continuing to get up until he is blasted with a big boot. Ambrose rolls right out of the ring and marches around the ring, Barrett following after him only to get dropped to the floor. Ambrose takes things back into the ring and keeps things on the mat and in the corner. He gets a couple of near falls off some hard drops and gets very frustrated. He goes for a DDT but Barrett shoves him away and drops him with the Bullhammer Clothesline! As Barrett gets some momentum going off a couple of power slams and hard drops, Ambrose slips out of the ring and starts to head up the ramp, Barrett waiting as the official ends up reaching the count of ten.
Ambrose starts making his way towards the back before realizing he doesn't have his title belt. Barrett takes it from the timekeeper and re-enters the ring, raising it up over his head with a huge smile. Ambrose shakes his head and tries to plea for his title back, Barrett instead tossing it over his shoulder. He invites Ambrose back into the ring but the United States Champion stops himself at the bottom of the ramp, pulling at his hair in frustration. He wags his finger a bit and rushes into the ring, hopping to his feet and right into a big boot! Barrett drops the belt down and hits a couple of clotheslines before setting Dean up for the Wasteland! Ambrose struggles free, however, and scoops his belt up to his chest and he rolls out of the ring. The WWE Universe gives some boos as Barrett turns to the ropes, leaning over them with a big laugh as Dean backs up the ramp - Barrett clearly still a thorn in his side.
Returning, Stephanie McMahon is in her office on the phone discussing something to do with Extreme Rules. CM Punk bursts into her office and starts to holler about Batista being back, Stephanie telling him to calm down. "What the hell is the matter with you? First you bring back Jeff Hardy, now Batista!? How badly do you want me to lose the WWE Championship, huh!? You want to stack the deck against me anymore!?" Stephanie continues to try and calm him down but he keeps on going, "I'm not going to calm down! I'll beat anybody you put in my way, I promise that. But if you want to abuse your powers just to try and see me lose then I got a problem with you! You think you're so damn special because you're daddy's little girl don't you? Well guess what, Vince wouldn't make the dumbest decisions! He wouldn't bring guys like Batista or Jeff Hardy back! He would want them to stay out of here! Go back to where they belong - on their couch doing nothing!" He finally stops himself and Stephanie remains quiet, Triple H coming in from behind. Punk slowly turns around and stares at Hunter, whom greets Punk before speaking up. "Stephanie had nothing to do with Batista coming back here tonight, Punk. I did. I've been talking to Dave for quite some time and I felt it was best for business to bring him back... just as Steph over here thought it was best for business to bring Jeff Hardy back last month. So I'd appreciate it if you'd calm yourself down and get ready to sit back, relax and find out if Batista or one of nineteen other men will become the number one contender." The two stare down shortly, Punk clutching his belt tight before heading out.
The Prime Time Players defeat The Kings of Wrestling via pinfall The bell rings and the match begins with O'Neill and Ohno, the latter getting the upper hand early after a vicious clothesline. The Kings of Wrestling start to make frequent tags back and forth, coming in and out and keeping Titus on the mat. The big man drops Cesaro down with a huge Samoan drop however, and he makes the hot tag to Young. He rushes in and drops Cesaro a few times but is blindsided by a huge spinning elbow. The KOW once again gain some momentum but after Cesaro makes a blind tag, Ohno gets frustrated with him. The two start to argue, allowing Darren to tag Titus back in - and he comes in, dropping Cesaro with a big boot! He throws Ohno out of the ring and ends up laying Antonio out with the Clash of the Titus. He hooks both legs up for the three count.
The Prime Time Players embrace each other and get the crowd going with the "Millions of dollars!" swing and chant before exiting the ring together, making their way up the ramp while giving high fives to the members of the crowd. Back in the ring, Cesaro stirs onto both knees with help from the ropes. Ohno comes into the ring and puts his hands on his hips, staring down at his partner. Cesaro looks for help to his feet but Ohno just puts his hands up. The two start to argue back and forth, getting into each other's face. The crowd starts up a 'fight' chant but the duo each calm themselves down before talking things over and shaking hands. They embrace shortly and continue to talk things over as they exit the ring.
The cameras cut backstage to show Jeff Hardy in the back, as he will be coming down to the ring to call out The Wyatt Family - next!
Returning, the theme song of Jeff Hardy hits. He makes his way out from the back and works the crowd a little bit before coming down to the ring. He takes a microphone from ringside and looks up to the top of the stage, shaking his head. "If you didn't catch Extreme Rules last night... you missed quite a bit. I went into my match against CM Punk for the WWE Championship inside of a steel cage! As you could see earlier on tonight, he is still the champion..." He rubs his chin as the crowd gives a mixed reaction, "But I truly believe I would have won that match if it wasn't for four men. Four men by the names of Luke Harper... Erick Rowan... Big Show... and Bray Wyatt." The WWE Universe gets a little loud at the name mentions, Hardy stating that he was cost the match by none other than The Wyatt Family. "Now, I don't know why I was a target of The Wyatt Family but my focus has been shifted completely away from the WWE Championship and going after the guys that cost me it! So Wyatts... come on down to this ring and let me kick your ass!" He throws the microphone down and takes off his shirt, tossing it out to the crowd. The commentary team advises Jeff to think otherwise, but as they say so - the signature of The Wyatt Family hits. The crowd pops as the lights dim down and the four appear on the titantron after Wyatt lights up his lantern. He laughs and gives the warning, "We're here..." before blowing it out.
The Wyatt Family make their signature, slow and strange entrance to the bottom of the ramp before the lantern once again goes out. The lights come back on in the arena after about five seconds with Harper, Rowan, Show and Wyatt all on different sides of the ring. Jeff begins to laugh and motions for them all to come into the ring. Rowan steps up first and Jeff runs at him, only for Rowan to drop back down. Harper does the exact same as Hardy continues the cat and mouse chase. Bray begins to laugh loudly on the outside and Hardy moves over to the ropes, leaning over at him. He tries to take a swipe at Wyatt but misses, Harper and Rowan taking the opportunity to jump into the ring from behind - dropping Hardy with clubs across the back and the head. Show comes into the ring as well and steps up behind the other two, whom hand Hardy right off for a chokeslam right in the middle of the ring! Bray slowly makes his way up the steel steps and steps into the ring, marching over to the corner. He takes the ropes, leans himself upside down and gives a huge smile. He pops back up and storms over to Jeff, dropping him with Sister Abigail! The WWE Universe continues to make some noise as Wyatt stirs onto both knees, leaning right over Jeff. He spreads both arms out, continuing to laugh psychotically. "FOLLOW! THE BUZZARDS!" He screams as he continues to laugh, the signature of the family once again hitting.
Returning, the cameras show The Usos backstage talking to each other. Ryback walks up in front of the two and breaths heavily before informing them that he wants a match tonight. "A match?" Jimmy asks as Jey laughs, "You don't have a tag team partner, Ryback. Who would want to team up with you anyway?" Ryback shrugs his shoulders and chuckles, saying he'll find somebody. "That is, if you're up for the challenge. You don't even have to put the belts on the line if that makes it any less frightening for you." He laughs and sticks his tongue out as the brothers look to each other, raising their eyebrows. Jey tells Ryback title match or not, he's on. 'The Big Guy' heads off, a tag partner in need.
Dolph Ziggler defeats Cody Rhodes with Goldust via pinfall The bell rings and starts off with Rhodes sending Ziggler to the mat multiple times, getting a couple of near falls. Dolph rolls out of the ring and Cody comes right at him, Ziggler dropping Rhodes with a clothesline. He works him a bit on the outside and slams him into the steel steps before coming back into the ring. The two go back and forth with multiple near falls each for the next couple of minutes, Rhodes hitting the Disaster Kick out of nowhere! He hooks both legs up and gets a two count, leading to some frustration. They both get back up and Rhodes continues to control the match, Dolph missing the Zig Zag. As Cody goes for the Cross Rhodes, however, Dolph slips free and rolls him up with the tights gripped - resulting in the cheap three count.
Ziggler immediately slips underneath the ropes as the bell rings, raising both fists in the air with a cocky smile across his face. Rhodes hops up onto his feet and marches over to the ropes, leaning across them in frustration of the cheap victory. Goldust comes into the ring and holds his brother back before he can go after Ziggler, whom backs up the ramp with the same smile and his fists still raised in victory as he has rebounded with a win following his loss last night, while Rhodes has suffered another defeat.
A promo video airs with ballroom dance music. Flashing and bright colors go about before a curtain appears, opening up to reveal "Fandango" and "Tonight" beneath it.
WWE Tag Team Champions The Usos defeat Ryback and Drew McIntyre via pinfall in a non-title match Ryback starts things off with Jimmy and dominates early on, The Usos managing to make tags only to be overpowered. After Ryback gets some momentum going, however, McIntyre makes a tag for himself. He comes into the ring and tells his partner he has it, only for Jey to blast him with a huge superkick! The Usos completely dominate McIntyre with double team moves until the referee gets things under control, Jimmy finally finishing things off with a top rope splash and the pinfall.
The Usos join each other in the ring and embrace, taking their belts and celebrating with the crowd. They make their way out of the ring as Ryback gets in, marching around McIntyre. Drew staggers onto his feet and tells Ryback that it's 'okay' and 'we're good'. Ryback mocks him before sending a huge knee to the stomach! He lifts McIntyre up and marches around the ring, slamming him with Shell Shocked right in the middle of the ring! He rises onto his feet and stomps around some more, giving a yell of frustration. He slaps himself in the head a few times, cranking his arm a bit. McIntyre once again struggles to his feet and is blasted with the Meat Hook Clothesline! Ryback stands over McIntyre, breathing heavily, as this partner clearly didn't work out.
The cameras cut backstage to show World Heavyweight Champion Bryan Danielson as he will be in action - next!
World Heavyweight Champion Bryan Danielson defeats Rey Mysterio via pinfall in a non-title match The bell rings and the two shake hands, Danielson dropping Mysterio and putting him in multiple submission holds on the mat. Mysterio manages to get things back up and starts to use his high flying action against Bryan, getting a couple of near falls off some fancy moves. Bryan starts to send some kicks to the side after gaining some momentum back, only for Rey to catch one and hit a spinning wheel kick. He pops right back up and begins to throw himself all around the ring and onto Danielson, eventually going for the pin only to get a two count. As Mysterio goes for the 619, Bryan catches the legs and shoves him to the outside before getting back up, going across the ring and coming back with a suicide dive that drops the two of them against the barricade. After a commercial break, things are back in the ring and the momentum continues to go back and forth until Danielson misses a top rope headbutt. Mysterio begins to swing him around with multiple hurricanranas and arm drags. Rey dropkicks Bryan right in between the top and middle rope and hits him with the 619! He goes to the top rope and attempts the Frog Splash, only for the World Champion to move out of the way. He gets right back up and plants Mysterio with the Running Knee! He hooks both legs up and gets the pinfall.
Bryan rises up onto his feet and starts up the 'Yes!' chants with the crowd almost immediately. He takes his title belt from ringside before being approached by Mysterio, whom gives him a handshake and a hug. The two continue on with the 'Yes!' chants with the crowd following the friendly match between former rivals from a few years ago.
A promo video airs with ballroom dance music. Flashing and bright colors go about before a curtain appears, opening up to reveal "Fandango" and "Next" beneath it.
Returning, the ballroom music from the recent promo's for Fandango hits. The suave man comes strutting out to the ramp, swinging his hips and legs about as a blonde female comes following him out. He dances around atop the ramp with the woman and they make their way down the ramp and to the ring, dancing the entire way. They end up in the middle of the ring, Fandango striking a pose as the woman does a split in front of him. Fandango takes a microphone from ringside and he looks around the arena, squinting his eyes. "My name... is Faahhhnn... Dahhhnn... Go! And last night... two men in this very arena right now... could not get it right... and for that reason I will not compete here tonight. So you can all thank Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler for not being blessed with the debut in this ring of Faahhhhnn... Dahhhnnn... Go!" He steps out of the ring and moves towards the announce table, swaying his hips a bit more. He asks the commentary team if they know his name and they all say they do, responding with different pronunciations of his name. The dancer shakes his head and yells 'no!' over and over again, wagging his finger. "Until you get the name right, you don't get the privilege of Summer Rae or Fahhhhnnn... Dahhhnnn... Go!" He drops the microphone on the announce table and starts to make his way up the ramp, along with the woman identified as Summer Rae. The commentary team talks in confusion over the debut of Fandango.
The cameras cut backstage to Matt Striker and he introduces his guest at this time to be Randy Orton. He thanks Orton for his time and asks what he thinks about Batista's return and announcement of his participation in the battle royal tonight. Orton scoffs, "Batista coming back doesn't mean anything to me... he just becomes another guy in my way! Tonight in that battle royal, it won't matter. I'll go through anybody! I'll go through Batista if I have to! He said that he came back to kick Punk's ass and shut him up well guess what? That's gonna be me. I'm gonna be the one to step up and take the WWE Championship! Batista hasn't been in this ring for almost three years now, while I've been beating the hell out of everybody! Everybody! And once I win that battle royal tonight, he can head back home. Then CM Punk can start shaking in his boots, because I'll be coming for him." He stares Striker down before walking off.
Returning, a promo video airs for WWE's Be A Star program featuring the likes of John Cena, Bryan Danielson, Kaitlyn and Sheamus.
Diva's Champion AJ Lee defeats Layla with Kaitlyn via submision in a non-title match The bell rings and Layla puts up a strong fight early on, dropping AJ multiple times and getting a couple of roll ups with near falls. AJ ducks underneath a clothesline, however, and completely dominates from there on. She hits a couple of suplexes and hard kicks, leading to some two counts of her own. AJ finally gets tired of coming up short and blasts her with the Shining Wizard. She follows it up by locking in the Black Widow, Layla putting up a very short fight before submitting to the new Diva's Champion.
AJ rises onto her feet and starts to skip around the ring, the official handing her the Diva's Championship. AJ stops at the ropes to stare Kaitlyn down on the outside, mocking her by rubbing the Diva's Championship in her own face. AJ skips out of the ring and heads up the ramp, leaving Kaitlyn glaring from a distance in frustration, clearly wanting her belt back.
The cameras cut backstage to see Vin Diesel talking with some superstars before Batista walks up. The Animal gets yet another pop from the crowd in the background and he gives Vin a big embrace and the two share a laugh. "That was good tonight, man. Real good. I appreciate it. I knew Punk couldn't resist that set up!" Diesel tells Batista that he knows he is going to win that battle royal and fulfill his reason for coming back. "Oh, you're damn right I'm gonna win. Then I'm going to take Punk out at Battleground just like I take you out in Riddi... maybe I shouldn't say anything. Let the people find out when it comes out in theaters, huh?" They laugh once again as Batista once again thanks him for the help earlier. Dave starts to head off as the number one contender's battle royal is coming up next!
Batista last eliminates Randy Orton in a Battle Royal to become the number one contender for the WWE Championship Other participants include Big E Langston, Brodus Clay, Christian, Cody Rhodes, Damien Sandow, Dean Ambrose, Dolph Ziggler, Goldust, Jack Swagger, John Morrison, Kofi Kingston, Mark Henry, Rey Mysterio, Ryback, Sheamus, Seth Rollins, The Miz and Wade Barrett. Following the first six minutes of action and a commercial break, tons of eliminations continue through. The final four comes down to Batista, Orton, Rhodes and Ziggler with Dolph missing a crossbody from the top rope to Batista, allowing Cody to take him by the neck and toss him over! Dolph Ziggler is eliminated. The Celtic Warrior turns to Orton and goes to toss him over, only for The Viper to stay in the ring and fight back. After another minute of back and forth action between the two, Rhodes hits the Disaster Kick on Orton and another one, this time to Batista - only for Ziggler to come rushing into the ring and toss Sheamus right over the ropes and to the floor! Cody Rhodes is eliminated. The crowd boos as Ziggler tells the crowd to 'take that' before exiting and making his way up the ramp. Batista and Orton get back to their feet and trade shots with each other, the crowd getting behind The Animal. Orton ducks underneath a clothesline and drops Batista with a dropkick, sending him over the ropes and onto the apron. Batista sends a shoulder to the gut though, and gets back into the ring. He drops Orton down over and over again and gets real fired up, Orton slipping away from a Batista Bomb only to be blasted with a spear! Orton struggles back up and is clotheslined right over the ropes and onto the floor.
The Oklahoma crowd pops as Batista marches around the ring, both fists in the air. As he continues to work the crowd up, CM Punk comes charging into the ring from behind with his title belt clutched tight. He rushes to Batista and goes to hit him in the head, only to be caught and lifted high in the air before being slammed down with a spinebuster! Batista pops right back up and pounds his chest a bit before shaking the ropes viciously, stomping his foot in signature fashion. He puts both thumbs in the air and sends them down before dragging Punk up in between his legs. He takes his time to look around the arena before lifting Punk up, sending him down with the Batista Bomb! The Animal gets back up and slaps his chest a few more times as the crowd breaks out chanting his name. JBL gives the warning on commentary to the entire WWE, "The Animal is back, and he is already the number one contender for the WWE Championship!"
The cameras cut backstage to see Paul Heyman and Roman Reigns walking backstage as they will be addressing their victory over John Cena last night at Extreme Rules - next.
Returning, the crowd is looked over and Justin Roberts speaks. "Ladies and gentlemen, Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman!" The theme music of Reigns hits as he makes his way out to the ramp with his manager, the fans giving a loud mixed reaction. Heyman glows with a smile as he applauds his client, the two making their way down the ramp and into the ring. Heyman grabs a microphone and puts his hand on his client's shoulder, keeping the same smile across his face. He says some words into Roman's ear before speaking into the microphone. "Ladies and gentlemen, as Mr. Justin Roberts just announced to you all, my name is Paul Heyman... and this man... this, beautiful and brutal man is my client, Rrrroman! Rrrrreigns!" He applauds once again and goes on for a short while before stopping, "Last night at Extreme Rules my client made his true debut here in the WWE going toe to toe with one of the biggest names in the history of this industry - John Cena. He went toe to toe with John Cena in an Extreme Rules match and he did what he said he was going to do... he said he was going to destroy John Cena. He said he was going to dismantle John Cena! He said he was going to defeat John Cena and guess what ladies and gentlemen? He backed his words up! Each and every one of them!" The two look to each and other and nod, Heyman running down all of the names Cena has defeated over the years from Shawn Michaels to Triple H to Randy Orton to Bryan Danielson and so on. "But what John Cena did not manage to do was to defeat Roman Reigns. He may have defeated all of those other superstars this company has seen come and go but last night he could not get the job done against my client! No, no, no, no! He could not get the job done for each and every single one of his hopeful members of the Cenation and ladies and gentlemen let me be the first to break the news to you: The Cenation is dead! The Cenation is no more! The Cenation, like the leader, is destroyed!" He gets some heat for the comments as Reigns takes the microphone away from his manager.
Reigns smiles straight into the main camera, "John, you put up a hell of a fight and I'll give you that... but that is all you had against me. A fight. Now, you may think by being in the ring alone you have a chance and most times you will have a chance... but when you come into the ring with me looking for a fight, looking for a match. You have no chance. I proved that last night by beating you right in the middle of this ring, John, and now I've made a name for myself. Now I've made a name for myself like I intended... and it is time for me to move on to bigger and better things." He hands the microphone back off to Heyman and the two start to head towards the ropes, only for the music of John Cena to hit. The WWE Universe bursts loudly into their expected mix of cheers and boos, Cena emerging from the back slowly. He takes off his hat and scratches his head before coming down to the ring, staring down Reigns and Heyman. Cena takes a microphone from ringside and moves to the opposite side of the ring of his recent adversaries, giving another stare down.
"You know, Roman, I tip my cap to you. Last night you were the better man and I admit that I wasn't quite expecting everything I got out of you... and you may not respect me right now, but I'll tell you right here and right now that in this very ring you've earned my respect as a competitor. That doesn't mean I like you. What it does mean, though, is that I ain't done with you. I wanna give you another crack and see if you can hit it outta the ballpark. I want a rematch with you." The WWE Universe pops for the idea as Cena goes to say more, only for Paul Heyman to stop him by telling him 'no' repeatedly. "You see, Mr. Cena, my client was clearly the superior last night. He defeated you and you need to accept that. Thank you very much for the offer, but my client does not need to prove himself on two different occasions against somebody clearly not on the same level as him." The fans give a loud 'ooh' as Cena looks all around, licking his lips while growing a smile. "Hey, Paul, do me a favor and shut your mouth. The boys with actual talent and use are in the middle of a conversation, alright?" He gets a similar response before continuing on, staring right into the eyes of Reigns. "So let me clear that up for ya, kid. I want you versus me. But I don't want to make it plain and simple. I want to give you the chance to shine just as you like it. You want to make a name for yourself, well here it comes: John Cena. Roman Reigns. Four weeks from now. Battleground. Last! Man! Standing match!" Cena gets very intense as the crowd gets behind his idea, John getting right up into Roman's face. He chuckles and looks back to Paul, whom shakes his head in disapproval. Reigns shakes his head to Cena, pulling the microphone up from John's hand. "I don't think that would be in my best interest, John." He gives a cocky smile and laughs, headed towards the ropes. Cena rubs his chin and runs up to Roman, clotheslining him over the ropes and to the floor - collapsing out with him! Cena begins to fire away with punch after punch to the top of the head. Heyman begins to scream from inside of the ring, telling Cena to stop. John finally does after throwing Reigns face first into the steel steps, looking back inside of the ring with a smirk. He hops onto the apron and gets into the squared circle once again, marching towards Heyman until he falls over. John takes Heyman by the neck and drags him up to his feet, saying he has wanted to do this for a long time. He drops Paul with a huge punch to the forehead! He stomps a few times at Paul before throwing his arms up, turning right around and in to a spear from Reigns! Roman immedaitely pops back up and gives a loud roar to the crowd before helping Heyman back onto his feet, getting screamed at for not stopping Cena. Heyman calms down after re-adjusting himself, telling his client that he is alright. He picks up the microphone from the mat and leans over Cena, grimacing still from the attack. "You want my client again!? You want Roman Reigns in a Last Man Standing Match!? You got it, John Cena! You got it!" He throws the mic down on John before raising his client's arm up, pointing to him as if he were a victor in a match. The crowd gives their mixed reaction of boos and cheers as Raw comes to an end.
