Ryan Braxton retaining the WWE United States Championship against Dean Ambrose on the SummerSlam Kick Off Show, Braxton's undefeated streak continues just as much his title reign continues and it makes me wonder if Braxton is line for a huge push considering how he has just burst on to the scene and has immediately made a huge impact by becoming one of the fastest rising superstars in WWE history by winning the WWE United States Championship in his very first match and then beating top tier talent, it makes me wonder if Braxton will be a future main eventer? Whereas for Ambrose it makes me wonder what is next for him?
Bray Wyatt beating Jeff Hardy in the Inferno Match, I loved it, Jeff Hardy on fire quite literally and the way Wyatt just threw Hardy into the fire, I admit that was sickening I wonder if after what Bray Wyatt did if this will put Jeff Hardy on the shelf? If it does then perhaps Jeff Hardy being on the shelf for now is a good thing because it clears the way for Kane to return to WWE but also Jeff Hardy if he does end up on the shelf I can see him returning by Survivor Series or even by Cyber Sunday your December pay per view latest being the 2014 Royal Rumble but loved Bray singing after the match
Cesaro beating Ohno to retain the World Heavyweight Championship Money in the Bank briefcase, I wonder if this means Cesaro is cashing in? If it does then I can see Cesaro cashing in either at Night of Champions or at Payback your October pay per view
Seth Rollins retaining the WWE Intercontinental Championship beating Randy Orton, now that has got to be the biggest win of Rollins' career beating a main eventer the caliber of Orton but also a man who is a former WWE and World Heavyweight Champion but also a man who is a former WWE Intercontinental Champion in his own right but going over Orton cleanly just adds more to Rollins' stock by him being a legitimate IC Champion since his reign has lasted all of 10 months, 2 more months if he can make it, then he will be WWE Intercontinental Champion for 1 whole calendar year but it makes me wonder what is next for Orton? Perhaps a babyface turn for Orton
Reigns, Paul Heyman's guy beating Sheamus, Reigns just continues to be on a roll as far as pay per view matches go because I don't think he has lost a PPV match yet but to see Reigns beat Sheamus a former WWE and World Heavyweight Champion it makes me wonder if Reigns is in line for an even bigger push not only being a Paul Heyman Guy but also having main eventer written all over him, it makes me wonder who he will feud with next considering he has beaten Cena, beaten Sheamus I wonder who he will feud with next?
Loved Rock's promo, he seems ready for Lesnar
Danielson retaining his World Heavyweight Championship against Jericho, I wonder if that was a passing of the torch? If it was then Danielson definitely deserves it that's for sure and for Jericho to put Danielson over it solidifies Danielson even more as World Heavyweight Championship material and that he is definitely deserving of being champion
AJ Lee losing her WWE Divas Championship especially in a Battle Royal like how she did, definite injustice, definitely unfair that she had to defend her title against so many other divas in one match where the odds were stacked against her right from the beginning but I could see why you would put the title on one of the Bellas even if it is Nikki because of Total Divas
Batista retaining his WWE Championship against Punk all be it by DQ but still I don't think Batista and Punk are through with one another not by a long shot but seeing Punk leave both Batista and Triple H laying with a sledgehammer attack I loved it, but I see Triple H vs Punk happening here at Mania 30 because their feud reminds me of Austin/McMahon
Definitely loved the Lesnar/Rock promo going all the way back to their SummerSlam 2002 match but now fast forward 11 years later SummerSlam 2013 and in the main event at SummerSlam 2013 this main event was brutal in the sense that the brutality in this match was definitely intense but also this match was not just a battle not just a fight but a war and Rock actually surviving the Kimura yes that was awesome, would have thought that Rock would have tapped but the chair shots even were brutal but Rock hitting the Rock Bottom on Lesnar on the steel steps, now that was sickening but Rock fighting through the pain and winning the match to close out the show, it was great
Can't wait until Night of Champions!!!

Ugh, this diary. Let’s get this sh*t over with so I can move onto something worth my time, like Chyna’s porno. Kickoff was good as usual, and an expected successful title defense for Ryan Braxton. While I enjoy the elevation that this feud has given him, I hope that Dean Ambrose can rise up the card soon. Onto SummerSlam itself, the right choice for the opening contest. Somewhat surprised that Bray Wyatt went over as I thought that Jeff Hardy may have gone over in this feud. Guess he’ll be taking some time off while Bray moves on to bigger things, hopefully. Next, fantastic match between Kassius Ohno and Antonio Cesaro. Would have been amazing to see the Kings of Wrestling compete against each other in a WWE ring. Cesaro getting the win was the right call. Wonder how much longer he will carry the Money in the Bank briefcase, and if he will be successful upon cashing it in. Huge victory for Seth Rollins over Randy Orton. Wasn’t sure if you would give him the win, or go with a screwy finish. Glad that it was the former, though. Rollins making it to a year as the Intercontinental Champion would be awesome. Up next, one of the less exciting matches on the show, honestly. An expected victory for Roman Reigns, who had a hell of a Summer. Interested in seeing where the Paul Heyman Guy goes from here. Bryan Danielson versus Chris Jericho was great as expected, and happy that Danielson retained. I wasn’t sure if Jericho would remain face or turn heel after the conclusion of the match, but I am satisfied with the result. The Divas Championship Battle Royal was as expected. Got a kick out of Eva Marie being the first eliminated. Bitch at me on Skype if I’m wrong, but did you just debut Paige with no hype whatsoever? You and I are so through. Nikki Bella as the new champion…bleh. I understand why you went with her, though. Hopefully, AJ Lee regains the title at some point soon. Next, a very solid WWE Championship match between Batista and CM Punk. I’m not usually in favor of disqualification finishes on Pay Per View, but this made sense to me. Loved the aftermath, too. Hopefully this leads to some sort of gimmick match between Punk and Batista at Night of Champions. Lastly, the rightful main event, in my mind. The Rock getting his win back was the obvious call. I would suspect that this is the last time we see Rock and Lesnar until WrestleMania season. A very good SummerSlam overall, but we’re still through.

SummerSlam was great. Don't think the inferno match suited Wyatt & Hardy but no denying it's a big win for Wyatt. Cesaro/Ohno candidate for MOTN. Rollins beating Orton is clearly a big win but think this story should of had Orton take the title unless Orton takes the title before the 1 yr target. Rollins was always going to win another notch for Reigns.
Bryan/Jericho was actually the MOTN it was great and despite my thoughts earlier bout Jericho winning the made the right call. Really good match.
The last two matches were also fine and there was a big win for Rock and your biggest story of the summer continued tonight Bryan and Jericho stole the show and the last 2 matches never returned to their height.
Overall great show.

August 19, 2013 from the Honda Center in Anaheim, California
The Monday Night Raw intro video airs and the cameras come into the Honda Center live from Anaheim, California! Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler and John Bradshaw Layfield everybody to the show, where tonight Triple H and Stephanie McMahon will address what went down last night in the WWE Championship match between Batista and CM Punk, World Heavyweight Champion Bryan Danielson will be in action and The Undertaker will make his return in his first appearance since WrestleMania! All this and more tonight, live on Monday Night Raw!
The theme music of Triple H hits and the WWE Universe boos as the Chief Operating Officer makes his way out with a smile across his face, his wife and Commissioner Stephanie McMahon making her way out as well. The two kiss and hug and make their way down to the ring, getting in and looking over the disgruntled Honda Center. Hunter takes a microphone from ringside and taps it in the palm of his hand. "Last night at Summerslam you all watched as the face of the WWE Batista walked in with the WWE Championship and walked out with the WWE Championship." The crowd boos as Triple H tells them that it is okay, they don't have to cry and be upset because they have a great champion in Batista. "Last night, CM Punk showed why he is not championship material by getting too frustrated and getting himself disqualified by using the sledgehammer! He hit not only Dave Batista, but he also hit me. Thanks to what happened at the Staples Center last night, I have given Batista the night off and he will not be in the arena and you can all thank CM Punk for that." The crowd actually roars at the announcement, only for Hunter to kill the atmosphere very quickly by telling them that thanks to last night, CM Punk will also not be in the arena. He goes to say more, but to the surprise of everyone 'No Chance' hits! The chairman of the WWE, Vince McMahon, making his way out from the back with his arms spread out and a smile to a loud ovation from the Anaheim crowd!
Vince makes his way down to the ring and steps right in, giving a big smile to his shocked son-in-law and daughter. He struts across the ring and takes a microphone from ringside and gazes all around the arena, stuffing his free hand into his jacket as Stephanie asks her father what the hell he is doing here. Vince laughs, "What am I doing here? I am the chairman of this company and let me tell you what I have had on my mind over the months since WrestleMania!" He glares right at Stephanie and Hunter and says he has been watching them and has been rather impressed with how they have managed things around here. The crowd gets a bit confused, obviously knowing that they have been very controversial during their control since WrestleMania. "Impressed at how stupid you two have been! You keep talking about what is best for business and you keep on choosign guys to be the 'face of the WWE' but let me tell you something! What is best for business is that you recognize that this... this is the face of the WWE!" He gestures out to the crowd and the entire Universe roars for the comment. Hunter and Stephanie are fuming as Vince continues on, "Because of how you two have decided to conduct yourselves with your abuse of power, I have taken it upon myself in the past twenty four hours to make a change. A change that will effect your role, Stephanie." She widens her eyes as the WWE Universe pops, her pleading with her father by reminding him that she is 'daddys little girl', to which Vince tells her to shut up! The crowd pops once again as he looks at Hunter, telling him that he will still remain the Chief Operating Officer and Stephanie will still be a principal owner in the company, but there will be a new Commissioner! "That new Commissioner will have their role respected, damn it! You two will not abuse your powers over them or there will be severe consequences, you understand me?" They both go to argue and Vince once again questions if they understand, to which they give a small 'yes'. He smiles and says that is very well and proceeds to point up the ramp to announce the new WWE Commissioner!
The theme music of John Cena hits and the WWE Universe explodes in a mixed reaction, Cena making his way out from the back all fired up even with his arm in a sling! He storms all across the stage as Triple H is in disgust in the ring, asking Vince if he is serious. The chairman chuckles as he applauds Cena, whom makes his way down and into the ring to shake hands with Vince. He flashes a big smile to Triple H and Stephanie and raises his good arm up in signature taunt to the crowd before taking a microphone. He looks all around to the back and forth chants of 'Lets Go Cena!' and 'Cena Sucks!'. He nods and pulls his mike up, thanking Vince before turning to the other two. "Well, well, well! THE COMMISH! IS! HERE!" He throws his arm up once again and gives a big laugh to the power duo. "As the new Commissioner of the WWE, I've already come up with my first decision because I know what really is best for business! I can't do anything about you not having Batista or CM Punk here tonight but what I can do is still include them. In just four weeks from now at Night of Champions it will be Batista versus CM Punk for the WWE Championship!" Hunter is fuming and gets right in Cena's face, Vince ordering him to back down before he has to deal with the consequences. Cena grows a big grin, saying that if Triple H was unhappy with that announcement he certainly won't be happy with this next one. "Not only will Batista defend the WWE Championship against CM Punk, but he will defend it against three other men in a Championship Scramble match! Three men will qualify here tonight and we will find out who rounds out that match! I mean, Batista is a fighting champ ain't he, Hunter!?" Cena laughs as the crowd responds positively to the announcement, Cena's music hitting as the new Commissioner backs to the ropes and exits along with Vince. The two smile to one another and head towards the back as Triple H removes the jacket of his suit and throws it on the mat, loosening up his tie as he has completely lost not just control of things around here, but his mind as well!
Returning, the commentary team shows what went down to open the show up where Vince McMahon would come out and criticize his son-in-law and daughter, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon, before appointing a new Commissioner over his own daughter in John Cena. He would go on to make his first decision by announcing a WWE Championship Scramble Match at Night of Champions with Batista, CM Punk and three participants to be determined tonight. They move forward to footage from the WWE App during the break, where Cena would be backstage to inform United States Champion Ryan Braxton he'd get his chance against the guy he has been beating week in and week out in Dean Ambrose in a Scramble Match qualifier.
DEAN AMBROSE DEFEATS UNITED STATES CHAMPION RYAN BRAXTON VIA PINFALL IN A NON-TITLE MATCH TO QUALIFY FOR THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP SCRAMBLE MATCH The bell sounds and Braxton dominates in the early goings, slamming Ambrose all around the ring and getting multiple near falls in hopes of getting his career off to an even faster start by getting a shot at the WWE Championship while being the United States Champion. He continues to overpower Ambrose until he is hit with a huge elbow to the face, Dean getting some momentum going. He attempts a roll up with the tights but only gets a two count of his own, popping right back up to hit the Headlock Driver! He goes for the pin once again, getting yet another count of two. Ambrose freaks out, Braxton taking advantage to hit him with a big time belly to belly suplex. He goes for the Spinning Powerbomb but Ambrose rakes the eyes, sliding down the back to roll him up with his feet being placed on the ropes without the official noticing, getting the three!
The crowd boos as Braxton has not only suffered his first loss, but he has lost it cheaply and lost an opportunity to get into the WWE Championship match at Night of Champions. Ambrose, meanwhile, rolls out of the ring and backs up the ramp with a psychotic grin across his face. He makes his way towards the back as the United States Champion is left disappointed more than frustrated in the ring at his defeat.
Returning, Renee Young is backstage and she introduces her guest at this time to be Dean Ambrose. He steps forward, laughing maniacally. Young congratulates him on qualifying for the WWE Championship Scramble Match at Night of Champions and asks how he feels. "How do I feel? I FEEL FANTASTIC, DAMN IT! You know what Ryan Braxton thought? Ryan Braxton thought he was better than me but even lightning can strike more than one time even if it is three... and that is all it was for him but tonight his luck ran out because I showed why I should still be the United States Champion but it is time to move on! TIME TO MOVE ON BECAUSE I AM GOING TO BECOME THE WWE CHAMPION AT NIGHT OF CHAMPIONS!" He runs his hands through his hair and laughs as he heads off.
WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS THE USOS DEFEAT REY MYSTERIO AND SIN CARA VIA PINFALL IN A NON-TITLE MATCH The match begins with Jey and Cara, each getting a lot of fast paced swings of momentum before making tags to their partners. Mysterio gets the upper hand for his team, getting a few near falls along with Cara as Jimmy can't get much going his way. Mysterio and Cara end up on the outside, allowing The Usos to hit their signature simultaneous dive over the top rope. The tag team champions take complete control from there and the match comes to an end following a superkick from Jey and top rope splash from Jimmy to Cara. He hooks both legs up for the three.
The crowd cheers as The Usos join each other in the ring and embrace, being awarded their tag team title belts. They raise them up before being approached by Mysterio and Cara, whom extend their hands out. The Usos accept and share a hug with the opponents as much respect is shown between the two tag teams. Mysterio and Cara exit, allowing The Usos to continue their celebration on their own.
The cameras cut backstage to Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins as he will be speaking next!
Returning, the theme music of Seth Rollins hits. The WWE Universe gives a big pop as the Intercontinental Champion makes his way out from the back with the title belt over his shoulder. He comes down and into the ring, looking all around the Honda Center as the crowd breaks out into a 'Rollins' chant. He smiles as he pulls his microphone up, "Last night at Summerslam I faced the biggest challenge of my career against Randy Orton... but clearly, I overcame that challenge." He adjusts the title belt and smirks, the crowd giving a solid pop for the mention. He goes on, talking about how Orton wanted not only to take his title away but to also end his career. "He tried to crack my skull open, he tried to rip my shoulder apart and he didn't care what he did to me! It didn't matter! But what did matter is that at the end of the night, I walked out still the Intercontinental Champion having defeated Randy Orton. I've held this championship since October 22nd of last year and I don't plan on losing it until the last October 22nd of my career!" He gives a big smile and seems prepared to exit the ring, only for a British-accented voice telling him to hold on. Wade Barrett makes his way out from the back with a smile, having not appeared in almost a month now. He points down to the ring, pulling a microphone up while staring at Rollins. Everyone is curious to his appearance as he speaks up. "Seth, you're probably wondering why I have come out here to interrupt you tonight! You know me - Wade Barrett - as does everyone else. But I'd like to introduce to you and everyone else to... The Commonwealth!" He laughs as everyone is confused, Rollins asking what he is talking about.
Suddenly, multiple superstars come from behind over the barricade - William Regal, Drew McIntyre, Damien Sandow and NXT's Adam Rose! They all get into the ring and drop Rollins from behind, stomping away at him. Regal seems to be more of an instructor, telling Rose, Sandow and McIntyre exactly what to do. Rose hits a big boot in the corner and Rollins staggers forward to McIntyre, whom hits him with the Future Shock DDT. Sandow follows up with his signature elbow and pops right back up to boos from the WWE Universe. Atop the stage, Barrett smiles as NXT Diva Paige - whom made her debut at Summerslam last night in the Diva's Championship battle royal - comes out and puts her arm around his waist. The two kiss and begin to make their way down to the ring, stepping right in to stand over the body of Rollins. Barrett pulls his microphone back up, "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls... and Seth Rollins... this! Is The Commonwealth!" He lets out a snicker and tosses the microphone to the mat, giving Paige another kiss as Regal, McIntyre, Sandow and Rose all drop to one knee behind the duo as this new group has made a statement here tonight in its debut!
WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION BRYAN DANIELSON DEFEATS MARK HENRY VIA PINFALL IN A NON-TITLE MATCH The bell sounds and the two come to the middle of the ring, Danielson delivering some vicious kicks to the legs and mid-section. Henry catches one shot, however, and throws Danielson right into the corner. He shows that he is the World's Strongest Man by overpowering the World Champion and gets a couple of two counts off some big time moves that crush Bryan in the corner. He sets up for the World's Strongest Slam but gets met with a few elbows to the head. The World Heavyweight Champion slips free and continues his melee of kicks. He ends up dropping Henry through the ropes with a dropkick and follows it up with the suicide dive to the delight of the WWE Universe. Danielson gets back into the ring and Henry struggles his way back in at the count of eight, getting right up to the running knee! Bryan covers him for the three count.
The WWE Universe pops as Danielson rises back onto his feet, backing to the ropes while clutching his ribs due to the effects of the match with the World's Strongest Man. The referee retrieves his title belt and hands it over, Danielson hugging it tight. He proceeds to get the crowd going with the 'Yes!' chants and goes onto the second turnbuckle to keep it going, his run as World Champion and success still going strong through tonight.
The cameras transition backstage to John Cena in his office and Vickie Guerrero walks in with a smile, welcoming him back to the WWE. He thanks her and Vickie mentions how she is in charge of the Diva's division now if he hadn't heard and Cena says he has, to which Guerrero tells him that is great. "And as the director of the Diva's division, I understand that your girlfriend Nikki Bella won the Diva's Championship last night and I just don't know if it would be too much of a conflict of interest." John puts his hand up to his chin with his good arm and takes a moment to ponder before looking back up at Vickie, telling her that there won't be any conflict of interest and tells her to get out. "Get out, Vickie. Go on, girl! Shoo!" He continues to tell her to get out like a dog, shaking his head and rolling his eyes as she leaves the room.
Returning, an advertisement for Total Divas this Sunday on E! airs before the cameras come back into the arena where Michael Cole goes back to last night to the Diva's Championship Open Invitational Battle Royal, where not only current divas competed, but some from NXT. Including Eva Marie, Cameron, Naomi and Paige. In the end, however, it would be Nikki Bella winning the Diva's Championship by eliminating - along with her sister - the former champion AJ Lee last.
DIVA'S CHAMPION NIKKI BELLA WITH BRIE BELLA DEFEATS EVA MARIE VIA PINFALL IN A NON-TITLE MATCH The match begins with Eva trying to take Nikki down, only to get hit with a big elbow to the nose while in the corner. The new Diva's Champion takes Marie down and gets a couple of early near falls before being hit with a kick in the face. Eva talks some smack towards the crowd, getting some boos. She pulls Nikki up slowly, very confident, only to be hit right in the jaw with an uppercut! She follows it up with a series of clotheslines before delivering the Bella Buster right in the middle of the ring. Nikki hooks both legs up for the three count.
The Bella Twins celebrate the victory as Brie joins her sister in the ring, only for AJ Lee to make her way out to the stage to boos from the Anaheim crowd. She cups a microphone in her hand and rolls her eyes, giggling. "Oh, Nikki! How sweet it must feel to be holding my Diva's Championship. For those who didn't see it last night, take a look at how your proud and honorable champion took it away from me!" She turns attention to the titantron, which shows footage from last night where Brie came back into the match after already being eliminated in order to help her sister last eliminate AJ. Back in the arena, Lee shakes her head and says it is such a shame for everyone here in the WWE to have such a pathetic champion. She heads off to the back, the Bella Twins left shaking their heads at the words from AJ.
The cameras cut backstage to Byron Saxton, whom introduces his guest at this time to be Wade Barrett. He thanks him for his time and asks Barrett what this new group he has called The Commonwealth's purpose. Barrett snickers, "The purpose of The Commonwealth is rather simple. That simplicity, however, is quite beautiful if I do say so myself. Such as my Queen." He turns off to the side as Paige walks up to him, wrapping her arm around him. "As for an explanation, you and everyone else will have to wait until next week. For now, we depart." The two head off, leaving everyone wondering about the new Commonwealth stable.
SHEAMUS DEFEATS ROMAN REIGNS WITH PAUL HEYMAN VIA DISQUALIFICATION TO QUALIFY FOR THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP SCRAMBLE MATCH The bell rings for the Summerslam rematch with much more on the line than last night, the two locking up in the middle of the ring. Reigns hits a big time clothesline and takes some momentum from there, getting five two counts on the Celtic Warrior early on. He misses the Superman Punch and gets blasted with a big suplex, turning the tables in favor of Sheamus. He drops Reigns with a series of clotheslines and boots and gets fired up, Heyman getting onto the apron. He decks him with a punch and turns to the Superman Punch! Reigns hooks the leg for only a two count. Roman continues to work Sheamus for a couple of minutes and ends up shoving him right into the official, whom falls into the corner on one knee. Heyman hands his client a steel chair and he reacts immediately, slamming it over the back of Sheamus! The referee, however, sees it and calls for the bell!
Reigns and Heyman are shocked and begin to argue with the referee over it. Reigns tosses the chair to the outside and demands the official restart the match, Heyman stepping in and holding him back before trying to cooperate with the referee. In the mean time, the crowd starts to get rowdy as Sheamus rises onto his feet behind the two. He starts to club across his own chest and gets a 'Brogue' chant going, Reigns finally realizing and turning around right to the Brogue Kick! The WWE Universe roars as Heyman drops onto both knees, holding onto the back of his head and checking on his client. He pleads with Sheamus to leave him alone, the Celtic Warrior pointing at him and laughing before kicking him right in the chest! He backs off to the ropes and exits the ring, heading up the ramp having qualified for the Scramble Match at Night of Champions, albeit via disqualification.
Returning, Paul Heyman comes into John Cena's office and is fuming. Cena tells him to take a few deep breaths and Heyman does before putting his hands up, "Mr. Cena, I know you don't like my client based off of your history and you certainly do not like me, although I do not understand, but what just happened out there is not acceptable and I think that my client Roman Reigns deserves to be a part of the WWE Championship Scramble Match at Night of Champions." Cena laughs and asks Heyman if he is serious, pointing out how he handed the chair over to Reigns and let him use it right in front of the referee. "I can't just put him in the match, Paul. What I can do, however, is help you two out in another way... just come to Smackdown this Thursday and you'll see what I'm talking about. I think you'll like it." Heyman tries to rebuttal, only for Cena to put his hand up and tell him he better leave now before he changes his mind. Paul bites his tongue and heads out, Cena smiling. "I never really knew how much I liked to tell people to get out until tonight." He takes a seat on his sofa and lounges out, having had a busy night for his first night as Commissioner.
The cameras pan to Renee Young and she introduces her guest at this time to be Antonio Cesaro. She congratulates him on keeping his World Heavyweight Championship Money in the Bank briefcase last night and asks if he has given any thought on cashing in now that he has apparently put Kassius Ohno in his rear view mirror. "You're right about Kassius. He is in the past now and I hope one day we can be friends once again. As for cashing in? That could be any time. I could do it tonight, I could do it this week on Smackdown or I could wait until next July." He goes to say more but Dolph Ziggler steps forward with a cocky smile across his face, telling Cesaro to go ahead and finish his sentence. Antonio doesn't and Ziggler chuckles, "Alrighty then, Antonio. If you want to just stare at me like you want to punch me in the face, how about I give you the privilege of getting the chance to by facing me tonight?" Cesaro responds quickly and says that sounds good to him. The Show Off flashes a smile once again, heading off as Cesaro keeps on staring him down.
DOLPH ZIGGLER DEFEATS ANTONIO CESARO VIA PINFALL The bell sounds and Cesaro uses his strength to overpower and dominate Ziggler to begin things, only to be caught with a thumb to the eye. Ziggler rolls him up but only gets a two count. He hits a few dropkicks and the Fame Asser, only to get a two count. He gets aggravated and begins to argue with the referee, allowing Cesaro to get back into it. He ends up tossing Ziggler up and hits his signature uppercut! He takes a hold of the legs and delivers the Giant Swing, flexing his muscles and getting the crowd fired up. He pulls Dolph right back up and sets up for the Neutralizer, only for Ziggler to push free and rake the eyes! The referee tries to warn him not to, but the Show Off hits the Zig Zag before he can hear it. He hooks the close leg up for the three count.
Ziggler rises back up to his feet and laughs as he is appointed the winner by the official, having used cheap tactics to get the victory over the red hot Cesaro. Dolph begins to exit the ring but sees the World Heavyweight Championship Money in the Bank briefcase holder get onto his feet, tempting him to charge back in and hit another Zig Zag! The crowd boos as Dolph gets right back up, smack talking Cesaro as he makes his way over to the ropes and exits the ring.
Returning, Jack Swagger's theme music hits and he makes his way out to the ramp along with Zeb Colter, the two getting some heat from the Honda Center. Colter holds a microphone and brings it up, "Last week, it was supposed to be Big E Langston against a real American in Jack Swagger! However, Mr. Langston decided to pull out due to an 'injury'. An injury, folks! The night he was supposed to face Jack Swagger? Sounds kind of fishy to me. Sounds like an untrue American to me!" He nods as he gets some more boos, "Sounds like all of you Anaheimians, or whatever you want to call yourselves! I bet you call in sick to work when you're just not feeling like going. I bet you say you've got the flu just because you'd rather sit at home all day rather than do what a real American what do! A real American like Jack Swagger!" He nods and offers the crowd to rise onto their feet, place their hands over their hearts and say in a loud, clear voice: "We! The People!"
BIG E LANGSTON DEFEATS JACK SWAGGER WITH ZEB COLTER VIA PINFALL The match starts off with Swagger getting caught up multiple times and rolling out of the ring to avoid Langston. He does so for the third time in a row and Big E comes out after him, throwing him face first off the ring apron. He pulls Swagger back in and begins to work him against the ropes and in the corner for a short while until he is kicked right in the lower part of the leg. Swagger starts to work at the ankle for a little while and seems to be preparing for the ankle lock down the road. As he goes for it, Langston rolls over and kicks him away and into the corner. Big E pops right back up and crushes him with a splash in the corner. He proceeds to pull his straps down and nails the Big Ending! He hooks the close leg up for the pinfall.
Langston gets back onto his feet and pounds on his chest, the crowd getting behind him. He stands over Swagger and stares Colter down, pounding on his chest again while telling Colter that he is a real American. Zeb argues that he isn't, leading to Big E stepping out of the ring and backing him up against the announce table. Colter tries to beg his way out of the situation. Langston smacks him across the face to the delight of the crowd! He makes his way around the ring and heads towards the back, having made his statement to Swagger and Colter while telling them that he is indeed a real American!
At ringside, the announcement is made that next week on Raw when CM Punk returns, he will be going one on one with fellow WWE Championship Scramble Match participant - Dean Ambrose. The cameras come to backstage, where Randy Orton is seen. He will be participating in the final Scramble Match qualifier, where his opponent was supposed to be Seth Rollins until he was attacked earlier on tonight! The match is coming up next.
RANDY ORTON DEFEATS CHRIS JERICHO VIA PINFALL TO QUALIFY FOR THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP SCRAMBLE MATCH The bell sounds as the crowd breaks into a 'Y2J' chant, Jericho taking control to start things off. He tries to get Orton into the Walls of Jericho early, but The Viper manages to get himself free. Orton ends up delivering a big kick to the stomach and throws Jericho shoulder first into the steel post. He works away at him and ends up nailing the rope hung DDT, getting a two count afterward. A commercial break interrupts and upon the return, Orton remains in control. He dominates Jericho and even drops him with the RKO! He only gets a two on the pinfall attempt, however, and Jericho gets back into the match. After a couple of minutes, he hits the Lionsault and Codebreaker. He proceeds to lock in the Walls of Jericho but Orton manages to get to the ropes. Jericho drops onto his hands and knees, exhausted. The Viper struggles back up and Jericho comes at him, only to get tossed through the ropes and brought back in and hit with the rope hung DDT a second time. Orton follows it up with a sickening RKO and hooks both legs up for the three count.
The Anaheim fans boo as Orton slides onto his knees with a sick grin across his face. He rises back onto his feet slowly and puts both fists high up over his head, the referee holding his arm and pointing to him as the winner. He proceeds to go to the corner and climb up to the second rope, giving his signature taunt to the disapproving crowd. He steps down and exits the ring, having joined Batista, CM Punk, Sheamus and Dean Ambrose in the WWE Championship Scramble Match at Night of Champions. Jericho remains laid out motionless on the mat as Orton makes his way up the ramp and towards the back.
A graphic appears for what is coming up next - The Undertaker's return! It will be his first appearance since WrestleMania.
Returning, the Honda Center is looked over by the cameras and the lights suddenly go out in the arena to an absolute thunderous ovation. The signature gongs of The Undertaker hit and The Dead Man slowly emerges from the back, staying atop the stage. He makes his way down to the ring very slowly, per usual, and finally emerges at the top of the steel steps - signaling for the lights to come back on. He steps in between the ropes for the first time since WrestleMania 29 in April and stands in the middle of the ring, a microphone clutched in his hands as the WWE Universe bursts out into a loud 'Und-er-taker!' chant. He slowly lifts his head up and pulls his mike up, "Upon the grandest stage of them all for the twenty first time, I stepped between the ropes and ended up walking out victorious. Four months have come since that twenty first time and during that time I have been left reflecting... reflecting upon on the souls that have stepped forward against me and fallen. When the dog's yard is entered, you suffer the consequences. All those whom have stepped forward have suffered the same fate and have heard the same three words... Rest... in... pea-" He is cut off as the signature of the Wyatt Family hits to a huge explosion from the crowd - the lights going completely out in the arena!
The signature of the Wyatt Family hits once again and the lights emerge with Luke Harper and Erick Rowan standing on both sides of Undertaker, Bray Wyatt on the outside in his rocking chair with a big smile across his face. He starts to laugh as he raises his lantern up, Harper and Rowan charging at 'Taker and bringing him down to the mat! They stomp away at the Dead Man as the WWE Universe is left in an uproar over the shocking assault. Rowan proceeds to drag The Phenom up and he pushes him forward, Harper delivering a huge spinning clothesline! Rowan afterwards runs off the ropes, coming back with a huge splash. The Anaheim fans are stunned but pop as Wyatt rises from his chair, slowly making his way up the steps and into the ring - glaring at The Undertaker. He stands over the lifeless body of the Dead Man but he suddenly sits up! He reaches his hand out and clasps on the throat of Wyatt! Rowan and Harper begin to stomp away at him almost immediately, however, and keep him at bay. Bray, furious, removes his hat and jacket - demanding they hand 'Taker over to him. His followers listen and he takes a hold of Undertaker by the head, laughing to the WWE Universe. He kisses the top of the head before delivering Sister Abigail right in the middle of the ring! Wyatt rises back onto both his knees and stares at the Dead Man, his hair falling to cover his entire face. He slowly lifts his head up, giving a big laugh as he throws his arms out - Harper and Rowan at his sides. "FOLLOW! THE BUZZARDS!" Wyatt shouts, the entire arena and commentary team left stunned. The signature of The Wyatt Family hits once again as Monday Night Raw comes to a conclusion.

allright a great start to Monday Night RAW with John Cena as commissioner for the first time, but I don't know how long that's going to last, I bet we are going to see Cena vs HHH soon down the line, Nice win for Ambrose over his rival Braxton in a Non-Title Match and he's the first man to qualify for the WWE Championship Scramble Match. The Usos beat Mysterio and SinCara in a great matchup too, Wade Barrett, Adam Rose, William Regal, Drew Mcintyre and Paige, the Commonwealth, hmmm. That is surprising. Good win for Nikki against fellow total divas member Eva. but AJ badmouths the Bella Twins once again. Ohhh I almost forgot, nice win by Danielson over Henry in a Non-Title contest. Followed by Sheamus qualifying for the WWE Championship Scramble Match. A nice win for Ziggler against Cesaro too, I mean really, a big win against Mr. Money In The Bank, Big E gets a victory over Swagger as well, and to top it off Randy Orton is going to the WWE Championship Scramble, but the one thing I was very excited about is to see The Undertaker return and challenge his next opponent, all of a sudden, the Wyatt Family come out to take on The Undertaker. A sickening assault on the Phenom totally ended the show, it's a guarantee that Wyatt vs Undertaker is eventually going to happen, but I don't see it happening before WrestleMania, I see it happening at WrestleMania 30, but I would give it time to keep building up this feud, I would see Wyatt take on some of Undertaker's WrestleMania opponents in the middle of this feud, I wish we would have Wyatt vs Taker in real-life, but you're going to make it happen, I'm very interested to see how this feud plays out,
Note: Summerslam 1994 Card is up, make your predictions.

What a RAW
John Cena as the new Commissioner of the WWE, imagine that? I would have never have guessed Cena considering his career ended back at Money in the Bank but seeing Vince name him as the new Commissioner I love it because there is nothing Triple H the COO or Stephanie McMahon can do about it and now that Cena is in power in his first day he makes the main event for Night of Champions, a WWE Championship Scramble with Batista defending his title against CM Punk and 3 other superstars still yet to be determined I can't wait to see who qualifies for the WWE Championship Scramble along with Batista and Punk who are already in
I see it being Triple H vs Cena also at WrestleMania 30 but didn't these 2 men already go at it at WrestleMania? WrestleMania 22 Cena made Triple H tap out so if they do go at it at Mania again then I would definitely love it
Dean Ambrose being the 3rd man to qualify for the WWE Championship Scramble beating his rival the WWE United States Champion Ryan Braxton giving Braxton his first loss here in the WWE, I would definitely say Ambrose could be a darkhorse in the Scramble Match but I wonder where this leaves Braxton? I wonder if this means Braxton will defend his WWE United States Championship then at Night of Champions? He will have to considering the PPV is Night of Champions and every match more or less will be a championship match
The Usos beating Sin Cara and Rey Mysterio, definitely a good match up between these 2 tag teams that's for sure, definitely loved the sportsmanship
Barrett, Rose, Paige, McIntyre and Regal as a stable, The Commonwealth, an all British stable I love it well except McIntyre isn't British he's Scottish so that makes him the odd man out in the group but also Rose technically he is South African so that too makes him the odd man out but to see The Commonwealth debut as a stable like this and seeing them go after the WWE Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins like that, what a statement made even though it was at Rollins' expense but Barrett he definitely wants that WWE Intercontinental Championship
World Heavyweight Champion Danielson beating Mark Henry, would not have expected anything less out of him because he's the champion but also facing a much larger opponent he just manages to find a way to win no matter who his opponent is but it makes me wonder who he will defend his World Heavyweight Championship against at Night of Champions?
WWE Divas Champion Nikki Bella beating Eva Marie in her first match as the champion, I can't say that I am surprised but what I loved even more was seeing AJ the former WWE Divas Champion come out and badmouth Nikki, sets up a rematch for the WWE Divas Championship and AJ is entitled to her rematch clause
Sheamus being the fourth man to qualify for the WWE Championship Scramble by beating Roman Reigns all be it DQ, I could see why you went with this result even though it doesn't really hurt Reigns per se but at the same time it kind of kills his momentum too being seeing Sheamus in the Scramble he is yet another favorite in the match
Whereas Reigns I wonder if he will end up becoming #1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Championship? If he does then I can actually see Reigns vs Danielson at Night of Champions or I wonder if you are planning on a World Heavyweight Championship Scramble?
Ziggler beating Cesaro, I wonder if you are setting up a rivalry between these 2 because if you are then I can't say I would argue with that because I honestly think that these 2 could put on great matches with one another but I wonder where this leaves Ohno now?
Big E. beating Swagger, I definitely love it because Big E. now has the momentum back into his favor considering he has been on something of a slump as of late but here is hoping he can start another winning streak
Randy Orton as the fifth and final man to qualify for the WWE Championship Scramble by beating Chris Jericho, Orton has definitely got to be the favorite especially considering the names in the match but also Orton he hasn't been champion in so long so I can definitely see him winning but as for Jericho I wonder where this leaves him now?
Undertaker's return only for it to be interrupted by The Wyatt Family and Bray Wyatt, Harper and Rowan attacking The Dead Man the way they did I have to wonder why the Wyatts would go after Taker? Or what caused them to try to take Taker out? But I can definitely see Bray Wyatt taking on The Streak at WrestleMania 30 and that the next time we see Taker it will be on the road to WrestleMania 30

It's been a while since I've commented on this diary. But I'm here now and what better way to get back into it than SummerSlam. Let's get into it.
SummerSlam Good kick-off match with United States Champion Ryan Braxton retaining over Dean Ambrose. Figured Braxton would hold onto it for a little while longer. It also frees Ambrose up for something else. Wow, what an intense Inferno match featuring Bray Wyatt and Jeff Hardy. I had a feeling Wyatt would win and continue his dominance in the WWE, especially over a former WWE/World Heavyweight Champion in Hardy. Looks like Hardy is going to be out of action for the time being. Maybe we'll see him eventually join up with the Wyatt Family. He could fit right in. Next up, the former Kings of Wrestling clash over Antonio Cesaro's Money-in-the-Bank briefcase. I'm not surprised to see Cesaro retain the briefcase as it seems like he has more going for him right now. But I would like to see Kassius Ohno bounce back from this. I love how you've build up Seth Rollins as Intercontinental Champion. He really makes the championship matter. I figured Rollins would retain his championship over Randy Orton. Orton doesn't need the Intercontinental Championship. Him coming out on top in this match wouldn't have done him any good, but Rollins coming out victorious over an established main event guy like Orton will do wonders for him. Awesome match! Another awesome match involving Sheamus and Roman Reigns. I figured Reigns would come out victorious as he's got more going for him right now. Reigns is going to go far, especially with Paul Heyman in his corner. The Rock shows up to cut one of his classic promos to hype up his match with Brock Lesnar. He's out for revenge following his loss at WrestleMania. Excellent match featuring Bryan Danielson and Chris Jericho for the World Heavyweight Championship. I love how Danielson won and gets to continue his impressive reign. I was unsure of whether Jericho would show his heelish nature at some point, but it didn't happen with this one. Instead, Jericho praises Danielson and gives him his moment. A good battle royal featuring for the Diva's Championship. Looks like AJ Lee is no longer champion. I guess this is a good call as Nikki Bella now has a chance to shine. But I don't think we've seen the last of Lee. Next up, we have WWE Champion Batista and CM Punk. Love how this storyline developed. It really makes Punk look like the hero and Batista the villain. Interesting way to end the show with Batista getting the disqualification victory due to Triple H's sledgehammer. It makes Punk look strong to have him lay out Batista and Triple H and thus continue the feud. Finally, the main event featuring Rock and Lesnar. This was definitely the main event of the show. This was a brutal way. Figured Rock would win this encounter to make up for the loss at WrestleMania. Love how Rock survived the kimura and came back with a vengeance. Great way to end SummerSlam.
Monday Night RAW Great way to open the show with the Authority bragging about Batista retaining the WWE Championship via disqualification. But to have Vince McMahon make an appearance really helped the show get off to an excellent start, especially with McMahon naming John Cena the new WWE Commissioner. Cena already makes his authority clear by announcing a championship scramble match at Night of Champions. The first person to qualify is Dean Ambrose, who gets some measure of revenge against United States Champion Ryan Braxton by defeating him to qualify. Looks like Ambrose has bigger fish to fry now, namely the WWE Championship. Nice match featuring the WWE Tag Team Champion Usos coming out on top against Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara. I wonder who will challenge them next. Seth Rollins makes an appearance talking about his win over Randy Orton at SummerSlam. He's approaching a full year as champion already, so that's impressive right there. But it looks like he has a new challenge in a now-heel Wade Barrett and the Commonwealth. What an interesting stable. You have Barrett, Drew McIntyre, Damien Sandow, William Regal, Adam Rose and Paige. Looking forward to see where this goes. Good match with World Heavyweight Champion Bryan Danielson winning over Mark Henry. It makes him look strong as he continues his reign as champion. Decent divas match featuring new Diva's Champion Nikki Bella defeating Eva Marie. I figured AJ Lee would makes her intentions clear to once again become Diva's Champion. Much like Ambrose did earlier, Sheamus gets some measure of revenge by defeating Roman Reigns via disqualification to qualify for the championship scramble match. That works out as it gives another face to go along with Punk in the match. So good call on that. From the interview with Renee Young, Antonio Cesaro is moving on from his feud with Kassius Ohno. But now it looks like he's got Dolph Ziggler to deal with now as the Showoff gets a win over the Money-in-the-Bank briefcase holder. This can help Cesaro out as Ziggler is a former World Heavyweight Champion. The Big E Langston/Jack Swagger feud can help both guys to come out looking great. Langston gets the win tonight, but I would like to see this feud continue. Randy Orton is the last person to qualify for the championship scramble with a victory over Chris Jericho in the main event. It looks like a solid match at Night of Champions. Finally, we have the Undertaker appear for the first time since WrestleMania. It's good to see the Deadman back in the WWE. But what happened next really rocked! The Wyatt Family came out and attacked the Undertaker. Unreal! This is going to be awesome. What a way to end the show. Great edition of RAW.

AUGUST 22, 2013 FROM THE RABOBANK ARENA IN BAKERSFIELD, CALIFORNIA
The Smackdown intro video airs and the cameras come in to the Rabobank Arena in Bakersfield, California. Michael Cole and John Bradshaw Layfield welcome everybody to the show as tonight, new Commissioner John Cena has promised to make a big announcement, Antonio Cesaro will go against Dolph Ziggler in a rematch from Raw and we will look back on what happened when The Undertaker made his return. All this and more here tonight on Smackdown!
The theme music of John Cena hits to a loud ovation from the WWE Universe as the new Commissioner makes his way out with a big smile across his face. He salutes towards the ring with his good arm and charges down to the ring, all fired up along with the fans. He takes a microphone from ringside and gazes all around the arena, giving a laugh before speaking. "The Commish! Is! Here!" He gets another thunderous ovation as he reminds everybody of what went down on Monday, referring up to the titantron where Vince McMahon would confront his son-in-law Triple H and daughter Stephanie before removing his own flesh and blood from her position as Commissioner before handing it over to Cena. Back in the arena, John shrugs his shoulders and says that he thought his career was over until he got the call from Vinnie Mac himself. "I've been sitting at home, going to the doctors and doing rehab and trying to do whatever I can to rehab my arm and try and get back into the ring one way or another. I thought my career truly was over here in the WWE at Money in the Bank when I lost to CM Punk and not only that, I had to deal with this surgery." He shifts his arm that is in a sling and he says it sucks, but he is feeling a lot better than he did a week ago. "Because a week ago I didn't have this job! A week ago I wasn't your Commissioner! I may not be competing in the ring like I'd love to but at least I still get to be out here in front of the WWE Universe!" He smiles and goes to say more, only for the theme music of Roman Reigns to hit to boos from the Bakersfield crowd.
Reigns and Paul Heyman make their way out to the stage and gaze around the arena before making their way down the ramp and into the ring - sharing a stare down with Cena. Heyman holds a microphone and clears his throat before speaking up. "Mr. Cena, allow me to make this short and sweet and to the point. Everybody knows about the history between yourself and my client and everybody that watched Raw on Monday knows that you were rather impartial to my client and should have put him in the WWE Championship Scramble Match! Now, I'm willing to forgive that giving the fact that what you told us to be here tonight for is favorable." The crowd boos and Cena smirks, telling Heyman not to worry because he has a very good reason for them to be here tonight and he is sure they will appreciate it. "Tonight, Roman, you'll have a chance to get a World Heavyweight Championship match! You and... nineteen other superstars!" He laughs as the crowd pops, Heyman and Reigns livid over the mention as Cena caps it off by stating that it will be a number one contenders battle royal where the winner will go on to Night of Champions to face Bryan Danielson! The WWE Universe pops once again as Cena wishes Reigns luck and heads out of the ring, having lived up to his word - despite the odds being against Reigns. Heyman screams at the Commissioner in frustration.
DEAN AMBROSE DEFEATS ROB VAN DAM VIA PINFALL The bell rings and the two lock up, Ambrose taking things to the mat early. He gets cocky and RVD manages to come back strong, nailing a few kicks to the skull. He gets a big surge of momentum and ends up nailing the Rolling Thunder. He hops onto the top rope and prepares for the Five Star Frog Splash, only for Ambrose to roll out of the way. He gets back up and nails the Headlock Driver! He hooks both legs up but only gets a two count. After a couple of minutes of Ambrose continuing to control the match, he goes for another finisher only for RVD to push away. He hits a big kick to the face and goes for the Rolling Thunder again, Ambrose pulling both knees up before rising back up to hit the Headlock Driver a second time. He hooks both legs up for the three count.
The Rabobank Arena boos as Ambrose rises onto his feet, holding onto the back of his head while wincing a bit at the pain. He cracks a smile, however, being satisfied with the victory. He takes a microphone from ringside and wags his finger to the WWE Universe, "Monday night! OH! MONDAY NIGHT! I qualified... I qualified to be a part of the WWE Championship match at Night of Champions and guess what? I'm going to walk in there and take that title away from Batista. Take it away from CM Punk or Sheamus or Randy Orton! It will be twenty minutes of hell, boys... hell that will culminate with Dean Ambrose being announced the new WWE Champion!" He wipes away at his face and snickers, "And this Monday? CM Punk... I get to face you one on one and I plan on making an example out of you." He points his finger towards the main camera and twists it before dropping the microphone to the mat.
Returning, Renee Young is backstage and she introduces her guest at this time to be Dolph Ziggler. She thanks him for his time as the crowd boos in the background. Renee asks him about beating Antonio Cesaro this past Monday on Raw and if he thinks that proves he should be in World Heavyweight Championship contention once again. Ziggler scoffs, "I'm always in World Championship contention, Renee. Heck, even if I didn't beat Cesaro it wouldn't mean anything because the Show Off should be World Champion still to this day. If you recall at WrestleMania, I had that match won." Renee rebuttals, telling Dolph she doesn't recall any point where he had it won. Dolph tells her to be quiet and asks what she knows. "Bottom line is, Renee, I'm World Championship material and I am the Show Off and tonight I won't only beat Antonio Cesaro for a second time this week... I'll win the battle royal in the main event and go on to face Bryan Danielson for my World Heavyweight Championship at Night of Champions." He flashes a smile and heads off, seeming very confident.
DIVA'S CHAMPION NIKKI BELLA WITH BRIE BELLA DEFEATS CAMERON VIA PINFALL IN A NON-TITLE MATCH The match starts off with Cameron dropping the Diva's Champion with a big time clothesline, leading to a very quick near fall. Cameron continues to get some offense in and keeps Nikki at bay until she is hit with a big kick to the face in the corner. Nikki takes control of the match and works Cameron for a minute with some hard slams and clotheslines of her own. She finally delivers the Bella Buster and hooks the close leg up for the three count.
Brie joins her sister in the ring, Diva's Championship in hands. She hands it over to her sister as The Bella Twins begin their celebration, although well aware that AJ Lee is watching and still unhappy with the way she lost the title belt this past Sunday night.
The cameras cut backstage to Antonio Cesaro as he will be in action in a Raw rematch against Dolph Ziggler - next.
ANTONIO CESARO DEFEATS DOLPH ZIGGLER VIA DISQUALIFICATION The bell rings and Ziggler nails a hard kick to the gut to start things off. He works Cesaro in the opening minute before being tossed face first into the turnbuckle. Antonio hits a series of suplexes and gets a couple of near falls before attempting the Big Swing, only for Ziggler to slip free and pop right back onto his feet. He ducks a clothesline and nails the Zig Zag right in the middle of the ring! He hooks both legs up but Cesaro finds a way to power out. Ziggler gets frustrated and begins to pound away at the head rapidly. The referee pulls him away and Cesaro struggles back up, catching Ziggler's legs as he comes back and putting him to the mat. He proceeds to hit the Big Swing and gets fired up with the WWE Universe. He pulls Dolph up slowly and cranks his neck in preparation for the Neutralizer, only for Ziggler to hit a low blow! The referee calls for the bell.
The crowd boos as Cesaro drops onto one knee, Ziggler taking advantage and nailing the Fame Asser! He pops right back up and throws his hands out in taunt. He laughs and lets Cesaro struggle back up against the ropes before hitting the Zig Zag. "Take that!" He shouts before popping back up onto his feet, staring him down. The Show Off backs away to the ropes and steps out, making his way towards the back as Cesaro remains laid out.
Returning, John Cena is in his office texting on his phone. Roman Reigns steps in and stares the Commissioner down, the two remaining silent. Reigns scoffs, "So you set up a twenty man battle royal, John. Congratulations. But you know first hand from when I kicked your ass in victory and in defeat at Extreme Rules and Battleground that I have the strength and determination of nineteen other men... point is, I'm going to win tonight and you're going to have to just accept it." He gives a big grin and Cena shrugs his shoulders, saying he wishes him the best of luck. Reigns seems confused, so the Commissioner explains himself. "I know you don't like me and I honestly don't like you very much either, Roman. But you've got talent. You've got skill and you've got capability. If you win tonight, I'll be proud of you... not happy for you, but proud. That is only because I respect you and not Paul Heyman." He goes on, telling Reigns that he explained to him when he first came on the scene that he could be the best this company has to offer if he wasn't being dragged around by the likes of Heyman and he still stands by that. Roman gets right up in Cena's face and takes a long, deep breath. "Without Paul Heyman, John, I wouldn't be anywhere near the level I am at... tonight, whether you're happy for me or not I'm going to walk out the number one contender." He heads out of the office, Cena left staring him down from behind - shaking his head as his words have failed to get through to Reigns.
The cameras transition to World Heavyweight Champion Bryan Danielson arriving into the arena to a big ovation from the WWE Universe. Byron Saxton walks in and excuses himself, asking Danielson what he thinks about the main event tonight to determine who the number one contender will be for his belt at Night of Champions. Danielson shrugs his shoulders, "Sounds good to me. I'm welcome to any opponent." He smiles as Saxton asks him if he would even welcome the possibility of a rematch with Chris Jericho. "Like I said, Byron, I'm welcome to any opponent. If it ends up Chris Jericho again, I'll be more than happy to have another great match with him where I come out on top." He smiles and says that he'd like to think that the WWE Universe appreciates somebody like that and they respond with very loud 'Yes!' chants in the background. He heads off.
INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION SETH ROLLINS DEFEATS ALBERTO DEL RIO VIA PINFALL IN A NON-TITLE MATCH The bell rings and the two lock up, Rollins being very aggressive and throwing Del Rio all around the ring. He hits a big time dropkick and sends him to the outside, following right after him and working him out there as well. Alberto slams him face first off the barricade, however, and turns things in his direction. He takes Rollins back into the ring, specifically targeting the arm. He attempts to go for the Rolling Cross Armbar once they get up but Seth manages to get free. He hits a big springboard knee and knocks him into the corner, following it up with a big clothesline splash. He follows it up with a superkick and bounces off the ropes, coming right back with the Curb Stomp! He hooks both legs up for the three.
Rollins swings back onto his feet to a nice ovation from the WWE Universe. He snatches a microphone from ringside and takes a few breaths before speaking up. "Although tonight I'm going to worry about becoming the number one contender for the World Heavyweight Championship... I have another target this Monday. Wade Barrett, you said you'll have answers for yourself and your little Commonwealth group... I'll make sure I'm there and listening. Once you say what you have to say, I'm going to shut your mouth by curb stomping you through this ring." He drops the microphone to the mat as the WWE Universe pops for the words by the Intercontinental Champion. He steps out of the ring and makes his way towards the back, having won his match and sent a message to Barrett and The Commonwealth.
Returning, a replay is aired from a couple of weeks ago where Goldust said in an interview that with his brother, Cody Rhodes, away he plans on trying to keep his career going without him. The replay airs his losses over the weeks, continuing to be unsuccessful without his brother around. Back in the arena, Jack Swagger and Zeb Colter stand in the middle of the ring together. Colter pulls a microphone up, "This past Monday on Raw we all watched as Big E Langston did what any anti-American would do! He would assault Jack Swagger and cheaply win his match. Sure, did he win in the record books? Yes, he did! But did he win in our hearts? I don't think so. With that, I invite you all to rise onto your feet, place your hands over your hearts and say in a loud, clear vo-" Before he can finish, the theme music of Goldust hits to a pop from the crowd.
JACK SWAGGER WITH ZEB COLTER DEFEATS GOLDUST VIA SUBMISSION The match begins and Swagger gets very aggressive to start. He takes Goldust down to the mat and uses his traditional wrestling skills to get the upper hand. Goldust tries to freak Swagger out by acting in his usual odd ways, only for Swagger to respond each time with a clothesline or big boot. He sets up for the Gut Wrench Powerbomb but Goldust falls off, knocking Swagger down with a neckbreaker. He gets some momentum going and sets up for Shattered Dreams, only to be met with an elbow to the face! Swagger charges forward and hits a hard clothesline from behind. Swagger proceeds to lock in the Ankle Lock and Goldust struggles, failing to a find a way to get free and having no choice but to tap out.
The WWE Universe boos as Swagger continues to wrench away at the hold, finally letting go as Goldust keeps on tapping out. Colter rejoins him in the ring and pats Swagger on the shoulder, leaning over Goldust. "As I was saying before we were rudely interrupted!" He straightens back up and looks out to the crowd, inviting them once again to rise onto their feet and say in a loud, clear voice, "WE! THE PEOPLE!" The two exit the ring as the commentary team mentions how we still have the number one contenders battle royal to come tonight, but up next they will revisit the return of The Undertaker next here on Smackdown!
Returning, Michael Cole and JBL talk about how this past Monday on Raw, The Undertaker made his return. They go back to the footage where The Undertaker would make his return in his first apperance sicne WrestleMania and speak about how he has been gone since. He would be interrupted by The Wyatt Family to the shock of everyone in the arena. Luke Harper and Erick Rowan would attack the Dead Man and after getting through with him, Bray Wyatt would come into the ring and stand over Undertaker. He would have his throat grabbed by the sitting up legend, Harper and Rowan attacking once again before Wyatt would hit Sister Abigail right in the middle of the ring. He would end Monday Night Raw on both knees, arms spread out while shouting to the WWE Universe - 'Follow the buzzards'. The announcement is made for this Monday on Raw, where The Wyatt Family will be invited as guests to Chris Jericho's Highlight Reel!
The cameras cut backstage to Renee Young and she introduces her guest at this time to be Chris Jericho. She thanks him for his time as the WWE Universe pops for him stepping forward. She said she was going to ask him about the battle royal tonight, but with the announcement just coming that he is inviting The Wyatt Family to the Highlight Reel. She asks what his purpose for that is and Y2J smiles. "You'll find out on Monday, Renee. Let me just tell you that Y2J is always looking for the best and biggest on The Highlight Reel and what happened to The Undertaker on Raw was one of the biggest things to happen in quite some time... as for the battle royal tonight, I'm looking forward to taking out those nineteen other men, going to Night of Champions and giving Bryan Danielson another run for his money. I guarantee you, those other nineteen men will never... EVVVERRRR! BE THE SAME! When Chris Jericho is once again named the number one contender, baby!" He laughs and heads off.
A graphic appears for the main event coming up next in the twenty man battle royal to determine the number one contender to the World Heavyweight Championship! The cameras pan backstage again to show the champion himself, Bryan Danielson, making his way down the halls to join in on commentary - next.
Returning, Bryan Danielson's theme music hits to a thunderous ovation from the WWE Universe! He makes his way out from the back and gazes around the arena before hoisting his title over his head, leading on the 'Yes!' chants as he heads down the ramp and around the ring. He makes his way over to the announce table and takes a seat, putting a headset on to join JBL and Cole on commentary. They welcome him and ask if he is ready to see who he'll face at Night of Champions, to which he gives a very confident 'Yes'.
ROMAN REIGNS LAST ELIMINATES CHRIS JERICHO IN A TWENTY-MAN BATTLE ROYAL TO DETERMINE THE NUMBER ONE CONTENDER TO THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP The other participants include: Alberto Del Rio, Big E Langston, Darren Young, Ezekiel Jackson, Fandango, Jack Swagger, Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, Kassius Ohno, Mark Henry, Rey Mysterio, Rob Van Dam, R-Truth, Ryan Braxton, Ryback, Sin Cara, Titus O'Neill and The Miz. After about ten minutes of action and a commercial break in between, the match comes down to the final six of Reigns, Jericho, RVD, Braxton, Del Rio and Henry. As they all do battle with each other, the World's Strongest Man shows his strength and hits his signature slam to RVD. Braxton impresses by coming right up behind him and tipping him right over the ropes! Before he can celebrate, however, he is blasted by the Superman Punch from Reigns and sent right over as well. Mark Henry and Ryan Braxton are eliminated. Reigns turns right around to Del Rio, whom tries to get him over. On the other side of the ring, Jericho and RVD go at it and Rob tosses Y2J right over the ropes, only for him to stay on the apron. RVD comes storming forward to Reigns and tries to get him over with Del Rio, only for both of them to be shoved away. Reigns proceeds to charge to Jericho and drops him with the Superman Punch. He turns right around and catches RVD by the back of the neck, throwing him right over the top. Rob Van Dam is eliminated. Del Rio, proceeds to run up behind Reigns and kicks him right in the back of the head. He pops right up to Jericho, however, and is dropped with the Codebreaker! He pulls Alberto up and throws him over the top. Alberto Del Rio is eliminated. Jericho struggles back onto his feet and backs up slowly, turning right to the spear from Reigns! He pulls Y2J right back up before lifting him up high over his head and dropping him right to the outside.
The crowd gives a loud mixed reaction as Reigns grows a big smile across his face, Paul Heyman joining him in the ring and praising him. They stare Danielson down as he stands up from the commentary table. He takes off his headset and climbs on top of the announce table, nodding to Reigns - whom motions for the title around his waist. Bryan hoists the World Heavyweight Championship high over his head, pumping it up and down and leading the WWE Universe into the 'Yes!' chants once again, Heyman and Reigns left staring him down with confident smiles across their faces as the stage has been set for Night of Champions. Smackdown comes to an end.

Smackdown Review
Love that John Cena is the WWE Commissioner but even more so it seems that he is not getting the usual Let's Go Cena Cena Sucks chants but he is actually getting a thunderous ovation now, what a difference, Cena is actually getting cheered now that he is no longer in that ring but he is a Commissioner now which I still think is an interesting role as he thought that his career was literally over until Vince brought him back but now that he is back as Commissioner he is actually a fair and impartial Commissioner which is great but then Heyman and Reigns interrupt him but then it turns into Reigns getting a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship along with 19 other superstars in a Battle Royal to determine who faces the World Heavyweight Champion Danielson at Night of Champions, talk about a blockbuster main event for tonight, Reigns could be the favorite
Dean Ambrose beating RVD, I guess I can't be surprised considering Ambrose is in the WWE Championship Scramble Match and he simply just needed the win but Ambrose he is definitely a darkhorse in the WWE Championship Scramble considering look at who is already in the match with him, WWE Champion Batista is in there as well as Orton, Sheamus, and Punk so I would say with this win Ambrose definitely made a statement here by beating RVD who honestly at this point is nothing more than a jobber to the stars
Ziggler sure seems confident about the Battle Royal thinking he actually has a chance to win it and become the number 1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Championship but I doubt it but I definitely do think that he can beat World Heavyweight Championship Money in the Bank briefcase holder Cesaro
WWE Divas Champion Nikki Bella beats Cameron, another Total Divas castmate of hers, can't say that I am surprised considering she is WWE Divas Champion but also ever since becoming champion she has essentially gotten better and better each title defense but AJ I am sure she will use her rematch clause at Night of Champions, the re-match will probably happen at Night of Champions so Nikki, John Cena's girl, she shouldn't get too comfortable being champion because at NOC it could all go away just like that
Cesaro beating Ziggler by DQ, just proves that this rivalry either is far from over or this rivalry is just beginning but still I think I could get behind a Ziggler/Cesaro feud but I wonder if the Money in the Bank briefcase will be a factor in this feud too?
Cena already trying to stir the pot between Reigns and Heyman by trying to get into Roman's head trying to cause dissension between the 2 of them but sooner or later Reigns will turn on Heyman turning babyface or Heyman being the heel he is will probably turn his back on Reigns courtesy of his other client Brock Lesnar attacking Reigns turning Reigns babyface that way
World Heavyweight Champion Bryan Danielson is in the house and now that he is, I wonder if he will be watching tonight's Battle Royal to determine who faces him at Night of Champions? Because I am sure he will want a front row seat to this
WWE Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins beating Del Rio, another clear message from Rollins being sent to Barrett and his new stable The Commonwealth, I can't wait to see Barrett's explanation as to why he has formed The Commonwealth or even how they came to be? But other than that The Commonwealth stable could be used to elevate Barrett back into the main event where he should be but Rollins being IC Champion he is almost to a full calendar year as champion so I wonder if Barrett will be the one who dethrones him
Gotta love Zeb Colter and Jack Swagger
Swagger beating Goldust, Goldust being on quite the losing streak maybe he should do us all a favor and just call it a career because he sure as hell does not have what it takes to be in this ring anymore, he's done as far as I'm concerned and him just losing to Swagger proves that he is not only out of his league but it proves he is out of his element he's past his prime like just retire at this point
Jericho inviting the Wyatt Family on to the Highlight Reel, after what they did to The Undertaker on RAW, does Jericho have a death wish or something? Because he should know that if he invites the Wyatts on to his show The Highlight Reel they will take him out just like they did The Undertaker and that it could potentially be the last we see of Jericho for quite some time but Jericho being in the Battle Royal he is probably the odds on favorite to win it
Roman Reigns winning the Battle Royal beating 19 other superstars eliminating Chris Jericho in the final 2 to become the new #1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Championship, Danielson vs Reigns, I am calling it, we will be looking at the next World Heavyweight Champion in Roman Reigns

| REPORT: WWE SIGNS THE AMERICAN WOLVES | WYATT VS TAKER ALL BUT CONFIRMED FOR WM | RUMOR: NEW AGE OUTLAWS MAY RETURN | It is being reported that as of today, the WWE has agreed to terms with both Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards - The American Wolves - to contracts. The popular independent tag team have been together since late 2008 and have enjoyed much success. That success has not just come within the ring by being tag team champions over the years, but with the wrestling fan base.
The team has had on-and-off stages, but that is considered a positive for the WWE knowing that if and when the day comes they split the duo, they are capable of becoming singles competitors. | Seen this past Monday on Raw was the advertised return of The Undertaker. While his return was well known before it happened thanks to the WWE choosing to announce it beforehand, what the point of said return was remained unknown. Clearly, with the attack by The Wyatt Family, the stage has been set for Undertaker vs Bray Wyatt. However, as we know, The Undertaker is mostly a WrestleMania season exclusive performer. He did spend extra time last year past Mania, but it appears that this is something that will be dragged out until Mania as reports are saying that this was just a platform for Wyatt up until he and Taker inevitably face. | Road Dogg and Billy Gunn - as they are better known as - have been behind the scenes in the WWE over the years. However, with the tag team division not having much strength to it, there have been internal talks between the New Age Outlaws and WWE executives about them possibly making a return to the ring. The duo have been on record saying they have never officially retired and have remained willing to possibly return to the ring, and it seems like a real possibility that within the near future they could be returning to the ring. Currently, The Usos are the tag champions and have been successful, but not many other current teams can say the same. |

John Cena as commissioner is an interesting decision. I see him back in action by the time WrestleMania rolls around. A battle royal to determine the number one contender is usually a good idea. Dean Ambrose over Rob Van Dam makes sense and I really liked the post match promo. Ambrose vs. CM Punk should be a fun Raw main event. Good Ziggler promo. Stupid Nikki Bella. Cesaro vs. Dolph Ziggler is actually a match I'd love to see, good stuff with the DQ finish. Not 100% on Roman Reigns saying he wouldn't be nearly as successful without Paul Heyman. I get that it was trying to hammer home how important Heyman is, but it made Roman seem unsure of himself alone. Seth Rollins continuing his success is fine, his feud with Wade Barrett should be great. Goldust struggling without Cody Rhodes has to be leading somewhere. Right? But the continued momentum of Jack Swagger works. The Wyatts on the Highlight Reel is an interesting clash of styles. Roman Reigns winning was pretty obvious as the show was built around him. Would've liked something a bit more surprising, but still good stuff. Bryan Danielson vs. Roman Reigns is original.

WWE signing The Wolves, I like it, I wonder if and when they do debut, if they will debut as faces or as heels? Either way it brings a lot of excitement into the WWE tag team division
Wyatt/Taker WrestleMania 30, I can't wait, could Bray Wyatt be "The One" as in 21-1? Could Bray Wyatt end "The Streak"? I think he very well could and Wyatt would benefit a whole lot from it too and it would sort of be like a passing of the torch considering everyone already thinks that Bray Wyatt is the next Undertaker anyway comparing him to The Dead Man
If the New Age Outlaws do return then it makes perfect sense for Triple H's old buddies, Triple H's cronies to return considering I am sure they would be a part of "The Authority" anyway considering who is already there, Triple H, Stephanie and now the WWE Champion Batista

Cena being named as the new commissioner is big news!! Clever way of brining Cena back into the picture.
Batista will more than likely sneak out of NOC as champ.
Commonwealth is a good name for a group that gets talked about often. Rollins has his worked cut out for him it seems.
Reigns could possibly be the one to take the title from Bryan. Really enjoyed Smack Down actually, simple show but it had a story and at the end Reigns felt like a player.
Latest from TNA 02-03 is up check out when you got time

WWE SummerSlam: Sunday 18th August 2013...It's a shame to see Dean Ambrose and Ryan Braxton's feud thrown onto the SummerSlam Kickoff Show, but nonetheless another decent display from the newcomer Braxton, and I anticipate what could be next for Ambrose. A lot of emphasis on the Kickoff shows lately with modern diaries, I suppose I can't fault the dedication and attention to detail. Onto the actual show, a wise decision for Bray Wyatt and Jeff Hardy to open things up in the Inferno match, though I'm not sure why the Inferno gimmick was used here really. It's definitely more Kane's match than it will ever be Wyatt's. I'm not sure how realistically Hardy would have survived that finish, but nevertheless, Wyatt was always going to win here, as you begin to build up his character progressively. Bray's post-match promo was also pretty nice. Next, a decent defense of the Money in the Bank briefcase by Antonio Cesaro against his former ally, Kassius Ohno. Pretty disappointing that this was a short one, but it made sense given the star power that SummerSlam has. I can't imagine the crowd being too invested into this one. Strange clean win for Cesaro, too - good for building him up, but weak for Ohno, I feel. A decent match between Seth Rollins and Randy Orton, and honestly it was a surprise to see Randy Orton lose to Rollins - but then again why would Orton at this stage in his career need the WWE Intercontinental Championship? Orton needs re-establishing, I think. A decent length to this match, another clean victory is a little strange to see, though. Roman Reigns then getting a victory against Sheamus was another surprise, but a pleasant one, as you are really beginning to establish that the WWE is about to witness a new generation, with already established stars taking a backseat for newer talent. I do think that one of these victories should have been more tainted, but nevermind. The Rock's interview was what you'd expect, very entertaining and ideological. I'd have positioned it earlier in the show though, Rocky arrived pretty late to the show, didn't he? Next, a solid encounter between Bryan Danielson and Chris Jericho, and the right man won with Danielson successfully retaining the World Heavyweight Championship. I feel that Jericho is at a point where he should be strictly putting over other talent, and this was the right way to go about it. I wish it could have gone a bit longer, though. Great passing of the torch from Jericho here, as well. Nikki Bella winning the WWE Divas Championship, eh. It was what it was, a passable battle royal pitting the Divas against one another. It prepares the Bella Twins for their star moment on Total Divas, though. If there is such a thing in your universe. Up next, a nice storyline driven match between Batista and CM Punk, but like their match at the Bash in 2008, I can't imagine this one being too great. I just don't think that the chemistries would have worked between both men. I liked CM Punk lashing out at Triple H though, as it gave Batista a cheap, assisted disqualification loss but also established Punk as a viable threat to the WWE Championship. I can imagine we'll be seeing more of Punk in pursuit of the WWE Championship in the near future. And finally, a powerful, entertaining No Holds Barred match between The Rock and Brock Lesnar - and in my mind the right person won here. A solid encounter, and I liked the storyline throughout. Rock with a victory is nice, but now you need to re-establish Lesnar. Overall, not a bad pay-per-view. It was star-studded, and at times that was great, but at others it cut solid matches shorter than they could have been. I'm looking forward to what is next coming out of SummerSlam and entering the tail-end of the year.

August 26, 2013 from the US Airways Center in Phoenix, Arizona
The Monday Night Raw intro video airs and the cameras come live into the US Airways Center in Phoenix, Arizona! The WWE Universe is scanned over as Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler and John Bradshaw Layfield welcome everybody to the show. Tonight, Batista will be back after being given the night off last week and he will address new Commissioner John Cena along with The Authority, Chris Jericho will host The Highlight Reel with his invited guests in The Wyatt Family! Also, scramble match competitors Dean Ambrose and CM Punk will face off and we will hear from Wade Barrett and The Commonwealth! Tonight's show is packed in Phoenix, live on Monday Night Raw!
The theme music of Batista hits and the WWE Champion makes his way out to the stage, keeping his title belt over his shoulder as the crowd boos. He looks all around and shrugs off the heat. Triple H and Stephanie McMahon slowly follow behind him and the trio make their way down the ramp and into the ring, The Animal taking a pair of microphones and handing them off to The Authority before taking one of his own. He steps right up into the middle of the squared circle and gazes across the US Airways Center. "Last week I was given the well deserved night off by Hunter and Stephanie." He even gets some strong boos for saying he deserved the night off. "I deserved the night off because of how CM Punk got himself disqualified and assaulted me at Summerslam! Now, now when I'm gone we have Vince McMahon strut right on down to this ring and name John Cena of all people the new Commissioner! Commissioner over his own daughter! This brilliant woman!" He points to Stephanie and gets some more heat, Batista going on and saying that he has never seen anybody work harder in a position of such control here in the WWE. He claims that Stephanie has been fair and her father the complete opposite. "Then John Cena decides it would be best for business to put me in a scramble match at Night of Champions? Are you kidding me? John Cena knows nothing about business and has never taken anything serious enough in his life in order to know anything about business! The fact that he is put in position to control this entire company is a joke and I ain't gonna just deal with it!" He throws his microphone to the mat and storms across the ring, all fired up. Hunter calms him down and gets him to back away, even though he still shouts in frustration that 'this is bullcrap'. The Chief Operating Officer steps forward next to his wife, going to speak only to be met with loud boos.
"You can all boo me all you want but I have something to say in regards to not only John Cena but to my father in law. Your daughter has made me the happiest man in the world, Vince! You and I and everyone else knows we've had our differences in the past but this has pushed it too far. You've upset your daughter, my wife! You've made her look like a joke to the entire WWE Universe and it makes me sick to my stomach that you would even dare do that." He stares right into the camera and takes a few deep breaths, shaking his head before moving on to the new Commissioner, John Cena. The crowd gives a decent pop for his name as Hunter pauses, frustrated just by saying his name. "John, we got rid of you a few months ago and now you're back. You're back and you think you're better than ever but let me tell you what you don't have that we do... we have lawyers. We have protection. We have everything in our back pocket to find a way to make sure you are abolished from this company once again because you lost your match at Money in the Bank and you should have been out of here under the stipulations there were!" He continues to yell, saying that when he signed the contract for his match at Money in the Bank he agreed that if he lost he would be out of the WWE and his career would be over. He claims that there is something very wrong about all of this and they will get to the bottom of it. He goes to say more but Batista steps forward once again, picking his microphone back up and telling Hunter to hold on. "If you want John Cena gone, I'll go back there right now and rip him to shreds!" The crowd gives a loud, mixed reaction as Hunter tries to calm Dave down again - saying that if he does that, he could lose his job.
As the two argue in the middle of the ring, the theme music of Cena hits to a loud ovation from the crowd mixed with cheers and boos. He comes out atop the stage, arm still in sling and all with a big smile across his face. "Gentlemen, gentlemen! How about we calm down just a little bit!?" He throws his good arm out and tells them that they shouldn't be getting so angry. "Dave, you really want to fight and I can tell but you're the WWE Champion and you've got a big match in a few weeks! So, as it is best for business - we're going to keep you out of that ring tonight!" The crowd cheers for the idea as Cena laughs, "Hell! You've got the night off, buddy! How does that sound? Two weeks in a row with the night off! Keeping the champion protected before his big title defense... that, my friends, is best for business!" He drops the microphone down as his music hits, The Authority left fuming in the ring as the crowd seems pleased with the announcement from the Commissioner.
Returning, the commentary team shows what went down just moments ago with Triple H threatening legal action to get John Cena removed from his position as Commissioner, to which he would respond by giving Batista the night off - seeming to get a bit of revenge in the process. Back live in the parking lot, Batista is fuming and storms over to his limosouine. He flings the door open and stares Triple H and Stephanie McMahon down as they keep trying to calm him down. "Because of John Cena I can't kick his ass, I can't kick CM Punk's ass and I can't kick anybody's ass that has it coming to them! I am not going to deal with this! FIX IT!" He puts his sunglasses on and gets in the car. It drives off as Hunter looks to his wife, whom suggests they go advise their legal team. "We might want to do just that." The COO responds as they head off.
SHEAMUS DEFEATS ALBERTO DEL RIO VIA PINFALL The bell rings and the two lock up, Sheamus tossing him into the corner and clobbering him across the chest viciously. He dominates Del Rio for a couple of minutes before getting his shoulder smashed right into the steel post. The Mexican Aristocrat gets a few near falls while in the process of working the arm. He attempts the Rolling Cross Armbar, only for Sheamus to catch it before it can be locked in. He lifts Del Rio right up off the mat and slams him back first into it with authority! Alberto staggers back up and gets met with a series of closed fist clotheslines. He tries to get out of the ring but the Celtic Warrior catches him and delivers the ten Beats of Bodhran before throwing Del Rio back over the ropes, blasting him with the Brogue Kick once he gets up! He hooks both legs up for the three count.
The crowd cheers as Sheamus rises onto his feet, pumping his fist in the air while leaning against the ropes. The Celtic Warrior gets the crowd fired up behind his victory, showing that he is indeed a serious threat to the WWE Championship at Night of Champions in his win here tonight.
Returning, Renee Young is backstage and she introduces her guest at this time to be Sheamus. She congratulates him on his victory over Alberto Del Rio and asks how he is feeling just a couple of weeks away from the WWE Championship Scramble Match. "I'm feelin' great, Renee. Feelin' real great. I'm fired up and ready to go! I wish that match was tonight but we gotta wait a little bit... but when the time comes, y'know the Celtic Warrior is always up for a fight and ready to become champion." He beats on his chest a few times and starts to head off before coming back in front of the camera, "Fella!"
WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS THE USOS DEFEAT THE PRIME TIME PLAYERS VIA PINFALL IN A NON-TITLE MATCH The match starts off with Jimmy and Young, the latter hitting a hard neckbreaker early that lays out Jimmy. The Prime Time Players take control of things quickly and get a few near falls off their back and forth tags. O'Neill misses a big boot in the corner, however, and Jimmy makes the hot tag to his brother. Jey charges right in and gets the crowd fired up, eventually hitting a huge dive over the top rope to Young. He ducks away from Titus going for a baseball slide and rolls into the ring, giving his brother his back to leap off of and go over the rope and onto Titus! The Usos get the crowd going once again and Jey ends up hitting the top rope splash on O'Neill, leading to the pinfall and three count.
The Usos pop right up and high five each other, followed up by a hug as the referee retrieves their title belts and hands them off. Jimmy and Jey turn to see The Prime Time Players getting on their feet against the ropes and they step forward, nodding over the loss. They offer a handshake and the champions accept it, O'Neill and Young inviting them into a 'millions of dollars' dance, to which The Usos accept and go along with.
A graphic appears for the main event still to come tonight for Dean Ambrose versus CM Punk. The cameras proceed to pan backstage to show Wade Barrett and Paige coming down the halls backstage, Barrett wearing some sort of a cape with his 'queen' locked arm in arm. Barrett will be addressing his group that debuted last week, The Commonwealth, and why they have formed and targeted Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins - next.
Returning, the theme music of Wade Barrett hits and he makes his way out to the stage to boos from the WWE Universe. His 'queen' in Paige follows him out and wraps her arm around his waist, the two sharing a kiss. William Regal, Drew McIntyre, Damien Sandow and Adam Rose soon come out as well and kneel to the sides of the duo. Barrett calls for them to rise back up and the six all make their way down and into the ring, Barrett snatching a microphone from ringside. He gazes out to the arena and stands in the middle of the ring, "Last week here on Monday Night Raw you all witnessed the dawn of a new era! An era where The Commonwealth reigns supreme! I understand that there have been many of questions raised as to what the purpose of and what The Commonwealth is! Those questions from all of you I don't find necessary to answer." He snickers and gets some heat before saying he will answer those questions for the man they targeted last week, however, Seth Rollins. The WWE Universe pops for the mention of the name and Barrett continues going on, "You see, this tandem in this ring is filled with British superstars such as myself, my queen Paige, the veteran William Regal and my young, budding Adam Rose. Then there is Drew McIntyre and Damien Sandow! Gentleman, would you please explain your commitment to The Commonwealth in a way that all of these inbreds can understand?" The fans boo once again as McIntyre takes the microphone, speaking of how he comes from the land of Scotland but he has been to the great land of England enough to recognize the true power it beholds over the entire world and soon to be the entire WWE Universe. He hands the microphone off to Sandow, whom raises his index finger and orders the crowd to silence. "Over my near two years in this company I have been to many, many states here in the USA! I have lived in this country my entire life but after going all around this country the past couple of years I have finally realized that you people are disgusting, vile and incompetant! For these reasons and many more, I have rescinded my citizenship here and have moved to England while also joining The Commonwealth! You're welcome!" He hands the microphone off to Barrett once again as the Phoenix crowd continues to boo the group, Barrett smiling. "As for you, Seth Rollins... you're the first step in the process of the invasion of The Commonwealth."
The theme music of Seth Rollins hits to a big ovation from the WWE Universe and The Commonwealth turns their attention up the ramp. Barrett gives commands to get his stable ready, the crowd getting louder as Rollins comes into the ring from behind with a steel chair! He smacks Rose across the back, followed up by Sandow! He hits McIntyre in the gut and then delivers a vicious smack to the shoulder of Regal! He turns right into the Bullhammer Elbow, however, from Barrett! The crowds cheers turn to boos as Barrett stands over the lifeless body of the Intercontinental Champion. He reaches down slowly and pulls the belt up off the mat, slowly raising it up over his head with a very cocky grin. Paige comes up to her 'King' and wraps her arms right around him. Regal, Sandow, McIntyre and Rose all struggle back to their feet and kneel around their leader, whom places his foot on the chest of the unconscious Rollins.
ROMAN REIGNS WITH PAUL HEYMAN DEFEATS ROB VAN DAM VIA PINFALL The bell sounds and the new number one contender for the World Heavyweight Championship overpowers the veteran early on. Reigns ducks underneath a springboard kick and delivers an early Superman Punch! He hooks both legs up but only gets a two count. He gets fired up, along with Heyman, in frustration with the near fall. He pulls RVD back up and gets hit with a huge kick to the back of the leg. The Whole Dam Show gets a bit of momentum going but it is slowed down by a powerbomb! Another near fall comes for Reigns and RVD comes right back into the match. He hits a springboard kick to the jaw and delivers the Rolling Thunder immediately afterward. He hops onto the top rope and stares Heyman down, whom hops onto the apron. RVD shakes his head at his former friend and mentor before leaping off for the Five Star Frog Splash, Reigns managing to roll out of the way. Both men get up and Reigns nails an absolutely vicious spear! He hooks the far leg up for the three count.
The WWE Universe boos as Reigns gets back up onto one knee, growing a grin across his face. Heyman takes a microphone from ringside and enters the squared circle alongside his client, putting his hand on his shoulder as he rises onto his feet. "Ladies and gentlemen, your next World! Heavyweight! Champion! My client, Rrrroman! Rrreigns!" He drops the mike to the mat as Reigns raises his fist up high to the sky, the WWE Universe continuing to boo the two.
Returning, an advertisement for Total Divas this Sunday on E! airs before the cameras come back into the arena where AJ Lee's music hits. She makes her way out to a mixed reaction from the WWE Universe. She comes down to ringside and sits along with Cole, Lawler and JBL.
DIVA'S CHAMPION NIKKI BELLA WITH BRIE BELLA DEFEATS NAOMI VIA PINFALL IN A NON-TITLE MATCH The match starts off with Naomi actually getting a good amount of offense in on the champion. She gets a couple of quick roll ups that turn into near falls, leading to a bit of frustration. She misses a dropkick and ends up being hit with a big time bulldog. Nikki swings momentum completely in her favor and ends up finishing things off with the Bella Buster and pinfall.
The Bella Twins celebrate the victory as Brie comes into the ring, giving her a big hug. AJ takes her headset off and stands up, giving a sarcastic applause. She moves over to the timekeeper and intercepts the Diva's Championship between him and the referee, however, and puts it over her shoulder. Nikki and Brie begin to demand AJ hands it over, to which Lee shakes her head and shouts that it belongs to her. The Bellas both slide out of the ring and back away at AJ, whom breaks out into a giggle. She starts to skip away and gets to the top of the ramp, both Bellas coming at her. Lee stops herself atop the stage, however, and tosses the belt off of it! She laughs once again and skips off to the back, leaving The Bella Twins in frustration as the belt remains off in the distance off the stage.
The cameras cut backstage to Antonio Cesaro coming down the halls as he will be in action against Randy Orton - next!
RANDY ORTON DEFEATS ANTONIO CESARO VIA PINFALL The bell rings and the two lock up, Cesaro overpowering Orton. He lifts him off the mat and slams him into the corner, firing away with elbows. Orton boots him away and nails a hard clothesline, however, and comes back. He goes for the rope hung DDT but Cesaro shoves him away. He comes back into the ring and goes for the big swing, only for The Viper to pull himself away and roll out of the ring - leading to a commercial break. Upon the return, Cesaro continues to be in control of the match and gets a few near falls on Orton following some strong moves. He avoids a top rope elbow, however, and nails a huge RKO! He hooks both legs up but only gets a two count. Orton is livid and begins to beat down Cesaro ferociously, having to be stopped by the referee's count repeatedly. He sets up for another RKO but Cesaro shoves him away, The Viper hitting the official into the corner! Cesaro proceeds to deliver the Big Swing to the delight of the crowd, spinning Orton around twelve times before releasing. He flexes his muscles but backs right into a Zig Zag from Dolph Ziggler! The WWE Universe boos as Orton slowly stirs in the corner. He pounces on the opportunity and hits the RKO on Antonio as he gets back up! He hooks the leg up for the stirring referee's three count.
The fans boo the result as Orton rolls onto his back, growing a smile across his face. He slowly rises onto his feet and has his arm raised up by the official. Dolph Ziggler stares down from atop the stage, laughing at how he just cost his recent rival in Cesaro the match. Orton, meanwhile, celebrates the victory as if he had done it all on his own. He motions for the WWE Championship around his waist just a couple of weeks away from his chance to win the belt.
The cameras cut backstage to show Chris Jericho making his way down the halls as he will be hosting the Highlight Reel with his invited guests - The Wyatt Family. "Will the trio accept the invite, or will they stay mysterious in wake of their vicious attack on The Undertaker?" Cole questions.
Returning, the ring is set up for The Highlight Reel and the theme music of Chris Jericho hits to a thunderous ovation from the WWE Universe. Y2J appears on the stage with his back turned and arms spread out in signature fashion and he spins right around, all fired up and ready. He makes his way down and into the ring, taking a microphone from off of one of the stools. "WELCOME TO! RAW! IS! JERICHO!" He flashes a smile and chuckles over the catch phrase. "You know, the ayatollah of rock 'n rollah has been a part of a lot of things in the WWE that have been shocking! That have been epic! That have been absolutely incredible!" He goes on, listing off how he beat The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin in one night, how he returned six years ago in one of the most epic ways possible and then brings up this past year at WrestleMania. He says that this past year at WrestleMania he went toe to toe with The Undertaker and challenged the streak. "That match was one of the toughest matches of my entire career and it almost had possibly the most shocking moment in the history of the WWE because I came this close to ending it!" He holds his index finger and thumb centimeters apart and nods to the fans, saying it didn't happen though. However, what happened last week here on Monday Night Raw was incredibly shocking. He says that tonight his guests are not confirmed, but they are invited. "So, my invited guests... if you wish to join me, come on down! Ladies and gentleman, The Wyatt Family!?" He motions his hand up the ramp and waits in anticipation, nothing happening for a few moments. Jericho goes to speak again but the signature of The Wyatt family hits to a loud pop from the crowd.
The stay out in the arena after a few moments with just a spotlight on the ring where Wyatt, Harper and Rowan appear across from Jericho. The trio stare down Y2J as he welcomes them to The Highlight Reel and says he hasn't invited them here to cause any trouble, but to give the people what they want! "Answers! Answers as to why last week here in the middle of this very ring you attacked... The Undertaker. Boys, I faced The Undertaker at WrestleMania and he was the biggest test of my entire career. I understand there are three of you and maybe you just wanted to make a statement but I want to know! I and these people want to know!" He looks all around at the darkness and stares back at the group, Wyatt wagging his finger and laughing. He pulls up his own microphone and tells Jericho that there are millions of questions in this world and he has all of the answers. "The Undertaker... he is called the Dead Man. He is called the Phenom... last week, my brothers and I showed that this man is mortal. He is no phenom! He is no dead man! Not yet, anyway..." He snickers again and goes on, explaining that The Undertaker is a legend in this business and everyone believes he is the master of mind games, but claims that he is. "Abigail and I, as young children, we'd play games. We'd play all kinds of games and I learned! I learned, Chris! I learned how to win those games." He takes a few moments to gaze out in the distance before looking back at Y2J, wagging his finger at him. "I remember you played a game. You played a game when you first came here as the world was supposed to come to an end! YOU ARE Y! 2! J!" He lets out another laugh and says that he wasn't the end of the road, however. "I am." He drops his microphone and stares Jericho down, Harper and Rowan charging forward and taking him to the mat! They start to stomp away at him and force him back up, Harper nailing a vicious spinning clothesline! Rowan follows it up with a big splash and Wyatt goes over to the corner, stomping his feet before leaning himself all the way upside down. He spins right around to Jericho in the arms of Harper and Rowan, delivering Sister Abigail right in the middle of the ring! He gets back up onto both knees and stares down at Jericho before slowly bringing his arms up high, Harper and Rowan standing at his sides. "FOLLOW! THE BUZZARDS!" The signature of The Wyatt Family hits once again.
Returning, the announcement is made that at Night of Champions it will be Seth Rollins defending the Intercontinental Championship against Wade Barrett!
UNITED STATES CHAMPION RYAN BRAXTON DEFEATS MARK HENRY VIA PINFALL The bell rings and Braxton begins to dominate in the early goings. He misses a splash into the corner, however, and gets dropped by a forearm to the head from Henry. The World's Strongest Man starts to get some momentum going but ends up missing a big splash in the middle of the ring. Braxton gets right back up and turns things in his way and ends up hitting a few clotheslines and elbows to rock Henry before dropping him with a huge elbow to the knee. He ends up hitting a shocking spinning powerbomb afterward and hooks the far leg up for the pinfall victory.
Braxton rises onto his feet and is handed over his United States Championship. He raises it up over his head and places it over his shoulder. Commissioner John Cena makes his way out to the ramp and congratulates Braxton on his victory. "You know, we are only a few weeks away from Night of Champions. Seeing as how every champion has to defend the title... I've come up with an idea for you, Mr. Braxton!" He smiles and tells Ryan that there will be a mini tournament starting next week here on Raw between four of the most deserving men!" The crowd gives a small pop for the announcement as Braxton nods, seeming satisfied with the announcement.
A graphic appears for the main event still to come later on tonight between Dean Ambrose and CM Punk.
Returning, Renee Young is backstage and she introduces her guest at this time to be Big E Langston. She thanks him for his time and asks how he feels about Jack Swagger and Zeb Colter saying he isn't a real American lately and if he still is hungry for more of Jack Swagger even after his victory last week. "Of course I am. That is why I requested another match against Jack tonight. I want to pound into both of those ignorant minds that I am! A real! American!" He pounds on his chest and heads off.
JACK SWAGGER WITH ZEB COLTER DEFEATS BIG E LANGSTON VIA PINFALL The match begins with Langston overpowering Swagger in the early goings and taking him down, getting near fall after near fall. Swagger begins to do the same with the takedowns and pin attempts. He starts to work the ankle and tries to lock in the ankle lock, only for Langston to roll through and send him shoulder first into the steel post! Langston pops right back up and begins to use his strength to dominate. He pulls down the straps for the Big Ending but Swagger manages to slip free, shove Big E into the ropes and roll him up. He holds onto the hands of Colter on the outside to get leverage and gets the three.
Swagger pulls himself through the ropes and out of the ring and into the arms of Colter, whom quickly leads his fellow 'real American' around the ring and up the ramp as Langston gets onto his feet absolutely furious. He stomps back and forth across the ring and takes a microphone from ringside, telling Swagger to get his ass back to the ring! "I want another match with you and this time you don't cheat your way through it!" He drops the mike to the mat and Jack starts to head back towards the ring, getting onto the apron. The two trash talk a bit and Swagger starts to enter the ring, only to pull himself back out. He shakes his head and laughs, dropping down onto the floor. He backs up the ramp with Colter once again, telling Langston that he is the better man and a real American. Langston is left leaning across the ropes in anger over the cheap loss and denial of an immediate rematch.
Returning, Randy Orton is in the trainer's room getting his leg iced. Triple H and Stephanie McMahon come into the room and ask the doctor if they can have a moment with Orton, to which he gives a quick 'of course' before exiting. Orton asks what the two of them want and Hunter says it is very simple. "We recognize that you are a challenger for the WWE Championship at Night of Champions, Randy, but that doesn't mean that you can't not work with us and Dave. You remember the days of Evolution, as does everyone else, and when we worked together for the greater good we always walked out on top." Orton scoffs and stands up from the table, staring down the COO. He asks if he needs to be reminded of what happened to Evolution when he became the successful one. "Do you need to be reminded of how I climbed to the top of this company by beating you and ruining the McMahon family? You just got everything back together this year and now it is all being taken away... now you are trying to play me? Let me guess! You want me to go into that scramble match at Night of Champions and help Dave walk out champion, don't you? Well too bad!" He stares them down and Stephanie insists that she and her husband leave, Triple H telling her that it is alright. He tells Orton to come along with him and hear him out. The Viper seems hesitant at first, but puts his hands on his hips and follows the COO out of the room.
The cameras pan to Byron Saxton and he introduces his guest at this time to be CM Punk. The WWE Universe as it is the first time they have seen Punk since Summerslam. Saxton thanks him for his time and welcomes him back, asking how he has felt the last eight days following his disqualification loss to Batista at Summerslam. "You know, Byron, my disqualification loss may not have been at my hands per say and more because of Triple H being a little too smart for his and everyone else's own good, but nonetheless I did get disqualified and I did hit Batista with a sledgehammer... and then I hit Triple H with it too... and guess what? It felt good." He laughs as the crowd pops in the background, "It felt really good to give those guys the beat down they had coming but you know what is going to feel even greater than that? When at Night of Champions I take the WWE Championship back. Because in that match I could beat the hell out of Batista the entire time if I damn well pleased and get disqualified all I want... because at the end of the day, at the end of those twenty minutes all I have to do is be the one who scored the last fall." He says that is to come in a couple of weeks but as for tonight, he plans on taking Dean Ambrose and shutting his 'psycho ass' up after what he had to say last week on Smackdown. He heads off as the main event is up next!
DEAN AMBROSE DEFEATS CM PUNK VIA PINFALL The bell rings and the two lock up in the middle of the ring, Punk managing to get the upper hand and get a few quick two counts. He attempts the Go To Sleep but Ambrose manages to elbow himself free and hit a hard DDT. He gets some momentum going and gets a couple of two counts in his own right before nailing the signature Headlock Driver! He hooks both legs up but Punk manages to power out just in time. Ambrose gets very aggressive and pounds away at the head. He pulls Punk right back up and attempts his finisher once again, only for Punk to slip free and nail a big kick to the back of the head. He attempts the GTS again, Ambrose slipping free again and this time getting out of the ring. A commercial break comes afterward and upon the return, Punk dominates for a short while. He ends up delivering his signature knee in the corner, followed up by the bulldog. He gets right up onto his feet and looks all around the arena, arms spread out. He taunts for the GTS, only for Randy Orton to come storming down to the ring! He slides right in and goes to clothesline Punk, only to miss and be hit with the Go To Sleep! Punk trash talks him and kicks him out of the ring, Punk backing right up to the Headlock Driver! Ambrose hooks both legs up quickly and gets the three count.
The US Airways Centers boos the result as Ambrose slowly stirs back up onto his feet, the referee raising his arm up as the winner. He backs up to the ropes and sees Orton stirring on the outside. He slowly makes his way into the ring and gets back onto his feet, holding onto the ropes and his head. He moves towards the middle of the ring and tells Ambrose that the victory is all thanks to himself, Dean pointing at him and claiming he doesn't need any help whatsoever. The two continue to argue back and forth and get into a shoving match, Orton nailing the RKO out of nowhere! He rises back up but gets blindsided from behind by Sheamus with a clothesline! The Celtic Warrior bounces off the ropes and comes right back to Orton with the Brogue Kick! He pounds on his chest and smack talks him, only to turn right to the Go To Sleep from Punk! The WWE Universe explodes as Punk is left standing tall in the middle of the ring over the other three challengers to the WWE Championship at Night of Champions. He holds his hands up high to a big pop from the crowd as Monday Night Raw comes to an end!

I like the idea of Cena, an active wrestler, as an authority figure - great decision! Batista as the corporate champion / stooge is great as well. Good to see Sheamus build momentum before his WWE title match, definitely just making up the numbers though. Usos need momentum as champs and its good to see them get it. You know the commonwealth was a British thing right? McIntye wouldn't have to explain himself! Just to point that out. I like the members of the stable but I do get a little tired of seeing all the non-Americans lumped together for something to do. Good segment, though. Love seeing Roman Reigns go over RVD, a former Paul Heyman guy. Love to see AJ as an antagonist to the Bellas. Orton needs the win more than Cesaro so good to see him get it. I loved the Highlight Reel! Great story budding with the Wyatts and Y2J! Had no idea who Ryan Braxton was until I realised he was Michael Elgin. Good signing for sure that. I think Swagger is a great worker and offers a lot, don't let him get lost in the shuffle! Big E is one for the future though, so maybe he could have done with the win? I don't know! Well written promos for Punk and the possible Evolution reunion, could feel the character coming through! Excellent final segment, Punk standing tall in the end is good for him as a big babyface; nice to see Ambrose getting a nice rub in the match however. Good show all around, took me a while to reply cos I needed to catch myself up a bit, apologies.
