MONDAY NIGHT RAW18th January, 2010In the new comedy When In Rome, starring Raw’s special guest co-hosts Jon Heder and Don Johnson, a woman finds herself engulfed by an over abundance of affection from her suitors. Unlike the premise of their movie, though, Heder and Johnson found themselves surrounded by anything but love as Raw Superstars turned on one another in the lead up to the Royal Rumble. Watching Bret Hart’s return to WWE after a 12-year absence, many of those watching shared the “Hit Man’s” sense of relief and forgiveness. Then, after Mr. McMahon appeared to make amends with his longtime nemesis, it was difficult not to also feel the sting of betrayal when The Chairman kicked Hart and left him writhing on the canvas. Mr. McMahon did not apologize for his actions. On the contrary, he dug his heels in even farther. After stating last week that Hart would never again be seen in WWE, The Chairman insisted that Hart deserved such rough treatment. One man who felt Hart’s pain acutely emerged to not only confront Mr. McMahon for his questionable actions, but also to meet head-on with a longtime nemesis of his own. World Heavyweight Champion The Undertaker appeared on Raw and bluntly put The Chairman in his place, even calling his actions cowardly. As Mr. McMahon slipped out of the ring, The Deadman went on to address Shawn Michaels’ question: Will Undertaker battle HBK again in a rematch of their legendary WrestleMania bout? The answer, sadly for WWE Universe members, was an emphatic “no.” The Phenom may have denied HBK, but Michaels realized that his ticket could be stamped were he to win the Royal Rumble, in which case he could choose the World Championship for which he would like to compete. SHEAMUS DEF. EVAN BOURNEWWE Champion Sheamus continues to punctuate his matches with exclamation points of pain. This week, The Celtic Warrior once again faced Evan Bourne, who wanted a rematch after losing to Sheamus two weeks ago. The match took on an ominous undercurrent as Randy Orton, who will challenge Sheamus in a title match at Royal Rumble, observed from outside the ring. Unfortunately for Bourne, the Irishman seemed intent on sending a message as he destroyed his opponent for the victory and cast an intensely defiant glare at The Viper. MARK HENRY DEF. JACK SWAGGER in an All-American American Over-the-top-Rope Challenge. Things are getting a tad embarrassing for Jack Swagger. For the second week running, the former collegiate All-Star wrestler issued an “All-American American” Challenge, in which the winner is the Superstar who tosses his opponent over the top rope. After losing the challenge to Santino Marella last Monday, Swagger had his hands full against Santino’s substitute, Mark Henry. The World’s Strongest Man successfully heaved Swagger over the top rope and into a state of uncontrollable frustration. Like his most infamous character, Napoleon Dynamite, actor Jon Heder probably got picked on growing up. After all, what type of damaged personality would willingly choose to pair up United States Champion The Miz with Big Show? While the actor and his co-host, Don Johnson, addressed the Knoxville faithful, Heder even arranged a main event match: Miz & Big Show vs. Unified Tag Team Champions DX. Later in the evening, after a rather abrupt negotiation, compliments of Hornswoggle and Triple H, Miz & Show agreed to make the bout a Six-Man Tag Team Match featuring DX & Hornswoggle against Miz, Show & Jon Heder! JOHN CENA & KOFI KINGSTON DEF. THE LEGACYRevenge seems almost too good for Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase. During last week’s Triple Threat Match to determine the No. 1 contender to the WWE Title, The Legacy duo stuck their noses in the match, causing their ringleader Randy Orton to prevail over John Cena and Kofi Kingston. This week, it was payback time. Cena paired with Kofi against Rhodes & DiBiase, and the two seemed to relish taking out their frustrations on the underhanded henchmen. While The Legacy are certainly a force to contend with in the ring, a miscue between the multi-generation Superstars allowed Cena & Kofi to capitalize and earn the “W.” GAIL KIM & EVE DEF. ALICIA FOX & MARYSEAnd then there were four. In the Divas Championship Tournament, the matchups include Eve versus Maryse and Gail Kim versus Alicia Fox. This week, however, the WWE Universe got to witness Gail Kim & Eve take on Alicia Fox & Maryse. As their tag partners looked on intently, Eve overcame the leggy onslaught of Alicia with a submission move to gain a bit of momentum heading into the tournament semi-finals. RANDY ORTON DEF. CHRIS MASTERSTurn about is fair play. And since Randy Orton looked on as WWE Champion Sheamus battled Evan Bourne earlier in the night, it seemed only fitting for The Celtic Warrior to look on as The Viper clashed with Chris Masters. The No. 1 contender for the Irishman’s title managed to best Masters’ size and strength for the win. That’s when he realized how determined his Royal Rumble opponent can be. Sheamus climbed into the ring and nailed The Viper’s face with his massive boot, leaving Orton motionless on the canvas. Fellow USA Network stars James Roday and Dule Hill, from the hit series Psych, will put their special powers on display next week when the pair drops by Raw as special guest hosts. DX & HORNSWOGGLE DEF. THE MIZ, BIG SHOW & JON HEDERJon Heder has demonstrated his unique ability as an actor. As a wrestler, not so much. The When in Rome star teamed with the newly formed squad of United States Champion The Miz & Big Show to take on Unified Tag Team Champions DX & Hornswoggle. While Miz & Show assured Heder he’d be just fine in their hands, when The World’s Largest Athlete ended up outside the ring in pain, the actor was forced to enter the ring, where he suffered a humiliating loss and had to have his co-star, Don Johnson, escort him out. Before the celebration kicked off, though, John Cena grabbed a mic and informed the match participants that it will be he who proves to be the last man standing at Royal Rumble. As to be expected, Big Show, Triple H and Shawn Michaels each took exception. So much so, in fact, that DX proceeded to toss Show and Cena over the top rope and outside the ring. And then, in a shocking show of independence, The Game heaved his own partner HBK over the top rope, telling him that the WWE Championship and WrestleMania are the two things he lives for. And that he, too, will compete in the 2010 Royal Rumble Match. © World Wrestling Entertainment 2010, Inc. NOTE: Credit to WWE.com for the descriptions, couldn't be bothered to write my own, haha.

WWW.F4WONLINE.COMReported by Dave MeltzerBRET HART, ROYAL RUMBLE, WRESTLEMANIA XXVI & MORE!- According to many sources, Bret Hart's second WWE appearence was put back to this week after there were many online websites reporting his scheduled appearence. The WWE have a history of changing plans due to too much publicity, but it is highly doubtful that they would cancel a storyline featuring Bret Hart. He is scheduled to appear next week on Raw when Psych stars, James Roday and Jule Hill take the spotlight of Raw Guest Host. Expect the build between McMahon and Hart to begin this week. It will be good to see how the WWE get around the fact that McMahon 'banished' Hart from the WWE forever. Keep a close eye on this one. - The Royal Rumble is coming up soon and with 28 confirmed participants, it has left us wondering exactly who will fill the remaining two slots. There are the obvious predictions people have made such as Edge and Booker T, but possibilities could include Booker T after his recent discussions with the WWE. There are absolutely no hints as to who it will be, so we guess it will be a matter of surprise. Doesn't hurt to be surprised every once in a while, does it? - As reported a few weeks ago, the current plans for CM Punk and WrestleMania are to have him take on Rey Mysterio in a Mask vs. Hair match. However, this is looking uncertain with Creative now looking to introduce Kaval as someone to go opposite Mysterio in a feud. More updates as it develops. - Shawn Michaels versus The Undertaker, is it going to happen? Fact is, nobody knows, with the WWE blowing hot and cold signals, yes and no answers. According to this past week on Raw, the story now requires Shawn Michaels to become victorious in the Royal Rumble match if he wishes to face The Undertaker at WrestleMania. Shawn Michaels was put down as a prediction for winner by many fans, even before this whole Undertaker facade. However, with two open spots in the Rumble match, who knows if the Surprise Entrant could steal it? Also scheduled for the Royal Rumble are the WWE Championship Match as Sheamus defends against Randy Orton, and the World Heavyweight Championship Match as The Undertaker defends against Rey Mysterio. Advertisement: 2 Surprise Rumble Entrants Revealed - Here!!

FRIDAY NIGHT SMACKDOWN 22nd January, 2010
DARK MATCH KUNG FU NAKI DEF. SLAM MASTER J Fu Naki picks up the victory after the Rising Sun.
" Yes, sir, we promised you a great Main Event..."
SmackDown opens its doors to the viewers with it's pyrotechnics display. The crowd were pumped for yet another edition of Friday Night SmackDown. Todd Grisham and Matt Striker welcome us to the show. They let us know that tonight, Rey Mysterio will team with his Royal Rumble opponent, the World Heavyweight Champion, the Undertaker to take on Batista and Chris Jericho in our Main Event. Also, CM Punk will 'save' yet another member of the WWE Universe. We hear the theme of Rey Mysterio and the crowd give him a huge pop. He comes out with no pyrotechnics and simply walks to the ring, entering it and beginning to speak.
He tells the WWE Universe that he is so pleased to be once again receiving a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship. He says that he wants to thank the WWE Universe for supporting him ever since his very first World Championship reign. However, that isn't why he came out here. He wanted to come out and officially confront the Undertaker before they team up tonight, and before they face at the Royal Rumble. His request is accepted as the gong tolls around the arena to a massive pop. Undertaker makes his legendary entrance and goes face to face with Mysterio. Mysterio tells Undertaker that he has tons of respect for him, and cannot wait for their Rumble bout. But, he also says that he isn't intimidted by Undertaker in any way and will go head on into anything Undertaker throws at him. Undertaker replies to Mysterio, saying that he is brave and he respects bravery, but he says that there is a fine line between bravery and stupidity. Undertaker says he has yet to determine exactly which side Mysterio is on. Mysterio says all he wants to do is have a match to remember at the Royal Rumble and win the World Heavyweight Championship. Undertaker agrees and says with all that's been said, he respects Rey Mysterio, but he will not leave with the Title. Undertaker claims that whatever happens, he will walk out as the World Heavyweight Champion, and enter the official Road to WrestleMania 26 with the gold. Undertaker leaves as Mysterio stares on. SmackDown then cuts to a promo package.
We see a promo package for the Royal Rumble, airing in 9 days on the 31st of January, 2010. It focuses mainly on the Rumble match itself. It is played to the theme of 'Hero' by Skillet.
DREW MCINTYRE DEF. MATT HARDY McIntyre is undefeated in single action and if this did anything, it was legnthen his streak. The Scottish-born, Intercontinental Champion took on Matt Hardy one on one in a non-title match. Hardy brought the fight and showed McIntyre what the true contenders of SmackDown can do. McIntyre was looking like he was in trouble for a part of the match, but a miraculous recovery, followed by a swift low blow got him out of trouble. Unluckily for Matt Hardy, the referee's view was obstructed and the low blow was not seen. McIntyre scrambled to his feet before grabbing the bent over Hardy and drilling him with the Scot Drop for the victory.
After the match, Drew McIntyre held his Intercontinental Championship high over the downed body of Matt Hardy. Out of nowhere, John Morrison made an appearence and attacked Drew McIntyre from behind, obvious revenge for his humiliation from last week on SmackDown. Morrison set McIntyre up for the Starship Pain, but McIntyre escaped under the ropes with his title and left ringside, holding his jaw. Morrison pointed, warning McIntyre that he was coming for the title. McIntyre looked on in anger before leaving through the curtain. SmackDown then cuts to a commercial break.
C O M M E R C I A L B R E A K
MICKIE JAMES & MARIA DEF. MICHELLE MCCOOL & BETH PHOENIX W/ LAYLA A pretty average divas match here. Maria and Beth Phoenix spent the most time as the legal divas, Phoenix throwing Maria around like she was nothing. There was a bit of miscalculation on the part of McCool and Phoenix after MAria ducked a clothesline from Phoenix which led to her accidentally hitting McCool on the apron. Phoenix didn't seem to be bothered that she hit McCool, but McCool wasn't all too pleased. Maria made the tag to Mickie James who exploded in, taking Phoenix down and knocking McCool from the ring apron. In the end, MIckie James hit Phoenix with the Mickie DDT as MAria kept McCool busy. Mickie pinned Phoenix and picked up the victory for herself and Maria.
Mickie amd Maria left ringside, cheering to themselves after their victory. Michelle McCool and Layla regrouped on the outside as Layla tried to help McCool to the back. Beth Phoenix got to her feet inside the ring and stared down at McCool. McCool held her Womens Championship tight as she could see Phoenix looking at it. SmackDown then fades to a backstage segment.
We see Theodore Long and Vickie Guerrero in the General Managers office. We can't quite catch their subject of conversation, but it doesn't matter anyway as a superstar walks into the room and interrupts. Long asks the superstar, who is off screen at the moment, if he could help him. Vickie turns around to see the superstar and smiles before saying to Long that this is her new 'focus' on SmackDown. The camera turns to the right to reveal Curt Hawkins, standing with a smirk on his face, looking at Teddy Long. Long says it is good to see Hawkins back on SmackDown, and Hawkins tells him that he is pleased too, because he is ready to go all the way to the top. We see he is wearing bright red trunks with the letters 'CH' written on in a gothic style font. He asks Vickie if she got him the match he asked for and she says it is up next. Hawkins winks at Vickie before leaving for ringside. Long looks at Vickie and asks why she amde a match without him, Vickie tells him to mind his own business as we fade to ringside.
CURT HAWKINS DEF. JIMMY WANG YANG Obviously, a squash encounter as Hawkins defeated Jimmy Wang Yang. He technically picked Yang apart before finishing him off with an impressive Lifting DDT that he apparently calls the Laugh Riot. Hawkins then covers Yang in an arrogant way, picking up the victory.
Hawkins celebrates his victory and we see Vickie Guerrero rush to ringside to congratulate him. They share a hug and Guerrero gives him a peck on the cheek before the two leave together and SmackDown fades to a commercial break.
C O M M E R C I A L B R E A K
Backstage we see Josh Mathews standing by with DOlph Ziggler who is in action next. He asks Ziggler how he feels about his loss to Kane last week and Ziggler says he is fed up of Kane and being seen as below Kane. He says that come the Royal RUmble, he will be the one to eliminate Kane from the match, just like Kane eliminated him last year. Mathews then asks him if he thinks he can defeat R-Truth up next. Ziggler simply laughs before leaving for the ring.
R-TRUTH DEF. DOLPH ZIGGLER Dolph Ziggler was defeated by Kane last week, but made sure we knew he was a major contender in the process, showing his new Sleeper Hold to be a very deadly manouvre. Ziggler and Truth locked up and Ziggler immediately went to work on the neck, obviously softening it up for the Sleeper to be applied later on. He worked down on R-Truth as much as he could, acting cockily as he did. The cockiness backfired on him, though as Truth came battling back, but not for very long. Ziggler locked in the Sleeper and brought Truth to the ground. The referee lifted Truths arm up and was about to drop it for the third time when out of nowhere, there was a huge explosion from the stage as fire engulfed the entrance area. Ziggler got to his feet and leant over the ropes, ready for Kane to come to ringside, but nobody came. The distraction was enough, however, as R-Truth rolled Ziggler up and got a quick three count for a shocking victory.
Truth escaped from ringside with a huge smile upon his face as the crowd cheered for him. Ziggler held his head in amazement as he realizes his loss. Ziggler then begins to sulk inside the ring before leaving as we fade to a promo package.
We see a 'Don't Try This' package featuring multiple WWE superstars. SmackDown then cuts to a commercial break.
C O M M E R C I A L B R E A K
We return to see the entrance of CM Punk and Luke Gallows. They enter the ring, Gallows carrying a steel chair and Punk carrying a black bag. Gallows sets the chair up in the center of the ring and Punk begins to speak. He says that 2 men have chosen to join his Straight Edge Society, two very brave men. He says that those men were already better than each and every fan in attendence. That remark gained a lot of heat. CM Punk says that one more lucky person will get the chance to join them tonight, but Punk is looking for a woman to join, showing that both sexes can be saved by him. Punk and Gallows scan the crowd for a suspect before spotting the perfect lady. Gallows leaves the ring and helps her over the security barrier before both entering the ring. CM Punk asks her what her name is and she says Serena. Punk asks her how her friends have treated her recently, and she tells him that they're all a bad influence. She says she doesn't want to live her life the way she does anymore and wants to be saved by CM Punk. Punk says he likes her a lot and begins the shaving process. He shaves her entire head bald and then raises her hands. Luke Gallows lifts her up onto his shoulders as she cheers to the crowd. The crowd give a bit of heat towards the trio. CM Punk says that one more person has just been saved and now has a cleaner life. Before they leave, he brings up the fact that both he and Gallows are the #1 Contenders for the Unified Tag Team Championships. CM Punk reveals that when they eventually cash in their title shot, they will clean the 'disgusting' lifestyle of D-Generation X and create an all new era in the tag team divisio.n CM Punk, Luke Gallows and Serena leave the ring as SmackDown fades to a promo package.
We see a promo for the World Heavyweight Championship match at the Royal Rumble between the Champion, the Undertaker and Rey Mysterio. It shows a few clips from Mysterio's previous title reign, followed by shots of Undertaker destroying his opponents. It ends with a shot of Undertaker doing his signature taunt inside the ring, holding the World title. We then cut backstage.
We see Theodore Long in his office before he is interrupted by the Hart Dynasty. David Hart Smith says that with the permission of Long, they wish to go to Raw this Monday night. Long asks them why but they say that they cannot tell. Long says he won't let them go without a reason. Kidd speaks up and tells Long that regardless of his decision, they are going to Raw because family calls for it. Long goes silent for a while before giving it the okay. He says that whatever they are going for, they should use the opportunity out of SmackDown to make an impact and earn themselves shots at the Unified Tag Team Championships. They look at each other and nod before leaving the office. Long shakes his head and goes back to work. We then fade to a commercial break.
C O M M E R C I A L B R E A K
REY MYSTERIO & UNDERTAKER DEF. BATISTA & CHRIS JERICHO via Disqualification. Rey Mysterio and the Undertaker looked rather odd as a team, but nonetheless, the match was great. Chris Jericho kicked things off against Mysterio, reigniting their feud from 2009. They battled back and forth before Jericho tagged in BAtista. BAtista unloaded on Mysterio, completely destroying him, but he eventually came back with a kick to the head from nowhere. Mysterio eventually made the tag to the Undertaker who came in and exploded with punches, all over Batista. He took Batista down and then proceeded to bring Jericho in the hard way. However, Batista and Jericho double teamed Undertaker, taking him to the outside. Mysterio dropkick Batista in the back and landed him on the middle rope. Mysterio went for the 619 but Batista caugh his leags and dragged him into the center of the ring before drilling him with a huge Spinebuster. Batista then proceeds to beat down Mysterio in the corner with multiple shots as Jericho battled with the Undertaker on the outside. The referee atmped to drag Batista off of Mysterio, but Batista shoved the referee aside and the referee rang the bell.
Batista still beat down on Mytsterio, not giving up, but Undertaker comes in for the save, throwing Batista from the ring. Chris Jericho enters the ring and goes for a Codebreaker on Undertaker, but he shoves him off and Jericho rolls out of the ring. Jericho and Batista back up the ramp as Undertaker stands tall inside the ring. Mysterio slowly gets to his feet and backs into Undertaker. He turns around only to be grabbed around the throat and Chokeslammed to the canvas. Undertaker stared down at Mysterio before doing his signature taunt as SmackDown faded off air.

-Good opening promo, like how Undertaker said there's a fine line between bravery and stupidity -McIntyre winning was the right call -I like Beth pretty much being a tweener. Nice to see Mickie & Maria pick up the win -Hawkins returns as Vickie's new love? Interesting concept -Not a fan of Ziggler losing, especially to R-Truth -Love that you went with the Serena stuff, I actually just watched it and it was amazing -Love the idea of the Hart Dynasty coming over to Raw with "family business" -Star studded main event, good that it ended in DQ and that Undertaker stood tall
Very good show, I've always enjoyed your diaries so here's to me enjoying one more.

Nice opening promo. Drew beating Matt is good. Mickie and Maria winning, k. Hawkins is back, eh? Think it should of been hyped more but alright. Obviously beating JWY. Truth winning is ok, I like him, but think Ziggler could of picked the victory up. Stuff in between main event was good. And a really nice main event, good teams. Liked the DQ ending and Taker being the last one standing.

MONDAY NIGHT RAW PREVIEW 25th January, 2010
- After a heated confrontation with The Undertaker last week, Mr. McMahon will re-do his speech this week on Raw, hopefully this time, with no interruptions. With The Undertaker safely away from Raw this week, McMahon should definitely be able to get his point across. But who knows who else might want to have a say in the situation?
- Last week, the Raw Guest Hosts, Jon Heder and Don Johnson had a fantastic show. Heder made a brand new tag team in The Miz and the Big Show, but will they team again this week in hopes of dominating the tag team division?
- The WWE Champion, Sheamus has declared that he will walk out of the Royal Rumble with the WWE Title firmly around his waist, but Randy Orton thinks otherwise. This week, The two will take part in a Pick Your Poison system, so that each man can get a good look at what they're up against come the Royal Rumble this Sunday. They each have the choice of the entire Raw roster, but who will they choose? Find out this Monday on Raw!
- Also, Jack Swagger has one more attempt at his All-American American Over-the-Top-Rope Challenge as he challenges anyone on the roster to throw him over the top. Let's hope his luck is better than his previous tries then...
- And fellow USA Network stars James Roday and Dule Hill, from the hit series Psych, will put their special powers on display this week when the pair drops by Raw as special guest hosts.
- All this and more when you tune into Raw, this Monday at 9/8CT, only on the USA Network!

MONDAY NIGHT RAW 25th January, 2010
PRIMO DEF. CHAVO GUERRERO in a Dark Match. Primo was victorious after a springboard Cross Body from the corner.
WWE SUPERSTARS TAPED MATCH EVAN BOURNE DEF. CARLITO Evan Bourne picks up the victory after he hits Carlito with the Shooting Star Press.
"Yes, sir, we promised you a great Main Event..."
After a fantastic pyrotechnics display, we pan around the crowd as the WWE|HD label flashes up on the screen. We then hear the welcoming voices of Michael Cole and Jerry 'The King' Lawler. Cole tells us that tonight will feature a Pick Your Poison Challenge between Randy Orton and the WWE Champion, Sheamus. They will reveal their picks during the night. Also, we are reminded that James Roday and Dule Hill will be Guest Hosting tonight, however, due to medical condition, James Roday could not attend tonights show, leaving Dule Hill fully in charge. We then get underway with the entrance of Guest Host, Dule Hill!
He enters the ring and begins speaking to the crowd, saying the usual stuff, about how he is happy to be presenting Raw and has been a dedicated member of the WWE Universe for a long time. He mentions the fact that Roday could not be with him tonight and wishes him a speedy recovery. He also brings up the fact that he has heard that Mr. McMahon will be out here tonight to once again address the WWE Universe regarding Bret Hart. Hill says he knows nothing about it, but he personally can't wait to see what McMahon has to say. Hill is about to go ahead and tell the fans to enjoy the rest of the show before the WWE Champion, Sheamus makes his way to the ring to a lot of heat. He enters the ring and tells Dule Hill that he thinks he should get the first pick for his Pick Your Poison Challenge against Randy Orton. Hill tells Sheamus that the order of picks will be decided backstage via a simple coin toss, to make sure it is fair. Sheamus says he shouldn't have to compete before Randy Orton and should get first pick of the roster because he is the WWE Champion. Hill once again tells him that he won't be deciding the order. Out of nowhere, Randy Orton shows up inside the ring and drops Sheamus with an RKO to a pop from the crowd. Hill jumps back to avoid him getting involved. Hill tells Orton he was wondering when that was coming. Orton gives him a serious look before leaving the ring with an obvious mental advantage over Sheamus. Hill leaves the ring and then Sheamus gets up, staring up the ramp at Orton as we face to a promo package.
We see a promo package for the WWE Royal Rumble which will air this Sunday, January 31st, 2010. It focuses mainly on the Royal Rumble match and is played to the theme of 'Martyr No More' by Fozzy. We then return to Raw.
GAIL KIM DEF. ALICIA FOX in the Semi-Finals of the Divas Title Tournament. Both these divas qualified for the smi-finals here tonight and they gave it their all in this one. Alicia got pretty frustrated throughout the match when Gail Kim wouldn't go down for the three count. Fox eventually got the chance at hitting the Axe Kick, but Kim avoided it and spun Fox around into the move she calls Eat Defeat. Kim hooked the leg for the victory.
Gail Kim now advances to the Divas Championship Tournament Finals, but Alicia Fox isn't too pleased. She leaves in anger as Raw fades to a commercial break.
C O M M E R C I A L B R E A K
We return, seeing John Cena in the office of Dule Hill. They are talking about John Cena's guest appearence in Psych, saying it was a fantastic feeling to be involved in such a show. They are interrupted by the Big Show and The Miz. Big Show says he isn't too pleased with how Cena humiliated him last week, throwing him over the top. Cena says he was demonstrating what was going to happen at the Rumble. The United States Champion, The Miz mentions that after Jon Heder put them together last week, he definitely feels that he and Big Show should stick together. Miz puts forward a tag team challenge for tonight, saying that he and the Big Show want to face John Cena and another superstar. Dule Hill takes a few seconds to think before getting in Miz's face and telling him that he likes the idea, and Cena's partner will be - MVP! Miz looks a bit annoyed and leaves with Big Show as Hill and Cena smile. We then fade back to Raw.
CHRIS MASTERS W/ EVE TORRES DEF. JACK SWAGGER in an All-American American Over-the-Top-Rope Challenge. Jack Swagger came out before the match, angrier than ever, stating that this week he wasn't going to take a loss as an option. Unfortunately for him, the Masterpiece, Chris Masters answered his challenge and showed us all why he has that nickname. Swagger used his amateur style to ground Masters, but it wasn't enough to escape the Masterlock and eventually be tossed over the top rope and down to the floor, giving Masters the victory.
Chris Masters celebrates his victory as Swagger gets extremely angry on the outside. First Santino Marella, then Mark Henry, and now Chris Masters. Swagger wasn't having a very good time, and with the Rumble this Sunday, he needs to think up a new strategy, and fast. But cutting straight to more action, Eve was up for a match against Maryse in another Semi-Final match in the Divas Title Tournament. But first, we fade to a promo package.
We see a WWE Divas package, showcasing the WWEs best diva talent. We then return to Raw.
MARYSE DEF. EVE TORRES W/ CHRIS MASTERS in the Semi-Finals of the Divas Title Tournament. Chris Masters tried his best to help out Eve in this match, but Maryse used their relationship against them. As Eve was down near the ropes, Masters tried to help her to her feet, but Maryse delivered a knee to the spine of Eve, sending her head smashing into Masters' and then rolled her up for a victory.
Maryse celebrated her victory, saying that she was going to defeat Gail Kim next week on Raw and become the Divas Champion once more. Raw then fades to a commercial break.
C O M M E R C I A L B R E A K
We return to Raw to see the entrance of Randy Orton. He comes and sits by ringside with a microphone in hand. He tells the WWE Universe that his choice of opponent for Sheamus tonight will be... Ted DiBiase! The match then gets underway.
SHEAMUS DEF. TED DIBIASE W/ CODY RHODES in a Pick Your Poison match. A very clever choice on behalf of Randy Orton, but in the end, it turned out not to be so wise. DiBiase had the advanatge over Sheamus for the opening moments, but in the end, Sheamus decimated DiBiase with a huge Bicycle Kick. He then lifted DiBiase to his feet and drilled him with a Running Crucifix Powerbomb for the ultimate victory.
Randy Orton got to his feet on the outside in anger, and Sheamus looked back at him with a mutual feeling. Sheamus still hadn't got revenge for the earlier RKO. Sheamus was handed a microphone and revealed that Randy Orton's opponent that he ahd chosen would be... Triple H! The crowd went nuts as Raw fades to a promo package.
We see a 'Don't Try This' package featuring multiple WWE superstars. We then return to Monday Night Raw.
We return to Raw to see Orton and Triple H inside the ring, ready to compete as Sheamus sits by ringside.
TRIPLE H W/ SHAWN MICHAELS DEF. RANDY ORTON in a Pick Your Poison match, via Disqualification. Randy Orton was set to destroy Triple H in this match, and he had his work cut out for him. Triple H was looking to get an advantage running into the Rumble too, possibly trying to show Shawn Michaels that he does mean business when it comes to winning. However, as Randy Orton had an advantage, he was stalking HHH, ready for an RKO, Sheamus entered the ring and nailed HHH with a huge Bicycle Kick, causing the referee to ring the bell for a DQ, handing the victory to Triple H. A very clever move on behalf of Sheamus.
Sheamus leaves ringside with his WWE Championship as Randy orton looks on in anger at his loss. Triple H makes it to his feet and also gives Sheamus a bit of a glare. HBK enters the ring and has a stare down with Triple H as Raw fades to a commercial break.
C O M M E R C I A L B R E A K
JOHN CENA & MVP DEF. THE MIZ & BIG SHOW Dule Hill made his way to ringside to watch this match. It was back and forth for the most part, John Cena and the Big Show had a fantastic brawl. Big Show gained an advantage and kept Cena down, making sure he paid for the humiliation from last week. Big Show was measuring him for the Knockout Punch, but out of nowhere, Cena ducked and took Show down with a huge Shoulder Block. Cena miraculously made the tag to MVP as Show tags in Miz. Finally, MVP and The Miz get to go at it and they do just that. MVP gets the advantage, knocking Miz right and left, but Miz fought back and eventually set MVP up for the Skull Crushing Finale. However, John Cena intervened and clotheslined Miz to the canvas. Big Show entered and threw Cena over the top rope before following him out, keeping him away from the ring. Miz shouted instructions at the Big SHow from the inside, telling him to keep Cena out. The distraction was enough, though, as MVP spun Miz around and nailed him with the Playmaker for the victory.
MVP flees from the ring with John Cena and they celebrate the victory with a handshake. The Miz and the Big Show stand in the ring disappointed at their loss. Show looks at Miz and shakes his head before leaving. Miz tries to explain that he didn't mean to lose, but Show had already left. Miz then leaves as we fade to a promo package.
We see a promo package, reminding us what happened 3 weeks ago on Raw when Mr. McMahon delivered a low blow to Bret Hart during his big return. We then return to Raw.
We see the entrance of Mr. McMahon who comes out to a lot of heat. There were also many 'We want Bret!' chants from the crowd. McMahon entered the ring and first off, declared that there would be no interruptions from The Undertaker or Shawn Michaels this week. He says that he can finally get straight to the point with Bret Hart. He says that the ban still stands and that Hart will never appear on WWE TV ever again. Lots of heat from the crowd for that remark. McMahon goes on about how Hart is nothing anymore and doesn't deserve any apologies from him. McMahon says that Shawn Michaels made him sick when he 'buried the hatchet' with Bret a few weeks ago. He says that McMahon will never change his mind on the fact that 'Bret screwed Bret'. The crowd are livid by this point, booing McMahon out of the building. He was just about to continue when we hear the legendary electric guitar as the crowd go wild!
However, following the guitar, we hear the theme of the Hart Dynasty, and not Bret Hart. The crowd are still pleased that someone interrupted McMahon, even if it wasn't Bret Hart. All three members of the Hart Dynasty enter the ring and Natalya is the one to begin speaking. She tells McMahon that she cannot believe that he would say such things about Bret and that the entire Hart family and friends are disgusted. McMahon smirks as if he doesn't give a damn. Tyson Kidd then speaks, saying that what McMahon is doing is tarnishing the name of Hart, and he isn't going to let that happen any longer. David Hart Smith then gets something in, saying that they have something to tell McMahon. They reveal that they have a message from Bret Hart himself. Smith tells McMahon that Bret Hart WILL be at the Royal RUmble this Sunday, and he will be calling Mr. McMahon out! McMahon looks shocked as the crowd go wild. Tyson Kidd has the final words, telling Mr. McMahon that Bret Hart won't be coming for just that one night, but Hart plans to stay for a very long time. On that note, their theme hits and they leave ringside as McMahon stands in both shock and anger. Raw then fades to a close on a shot of McMahon's angered face.

WWW.F4WONLINE.COMReported by Dave MeltzerHART/RUMBLE, TAG TEAM TITLES, RUMBLE WINNER? & MORE!- As revealed this week on Raw, Bret Hart is indeed scheduled to appear at the Royal Rumble Pay Per View this Sunday. We predicted that Hart would appear this past Monday, but instead, we got the Hart Dynasty. It's obvious now that the WWE wanted to put Hart's return at a PPV show as it is pretty big business. The Hart Dynasty said that Hart wasn't going to be making a one off appearence and would be sticking around, most likely to build his feud with Mr. McMahon running up to WrestleMania. - This Friday on SmackDown, CM Punk and Luke Gallows will challenge D-Generation X for the Unified Tag Team Championships after the Straight Edge Society won a Fatal Four Way Tag Team match to becoem the #1 Contenders two weeks ago. Also on this Friday's SmackDown, Drew McIntyre will defend the Intercontinental Championship against John Morrison. - The Royal Rumble is highly unpredictable this year, with possible winners coming from all over. Raw boasts Triple H, John Cena and Shawn Michaels, while SmackDown has Chris Jericho and Batista. Not to mention with two open spots for surprises, who knows who they could be. Many people are predicting Shawn Michaels as the favourite to win, eventually leading to HBK/Undertaker II at WrestleMania 26, however, it is unsure if that is to go ahead. Triple H would also have a backstory as the last Royal Rumble he won was at the exact same venue in 2002. Chris Jericho has never won a Royal Rumble match and many people feel this could be his chance. This could be the year where we actually get a surprise! - The feud between MVP and The Miz is set to run into Elimination Chamber, and possibly through into WrestleMania 26. Many believe this is the first decent feud for the United States Championship in a long while and it would be a perfect opportunity to take it to the biggest stage of them all. We'll have to see where they take this.

Not going to lie, this diary really inspired me to do my WWE 2010. Pick Your Poison will be interesting and I wonder where each man goes. Hill/Orton working together there? Orton turning face? I see many things here. Like Gail over Fox here like in real life. Interesting enough tag match. Hopefully MVP/Cena pick up the victory. Laughing at the name of the next match, but it certainly works. Masters over Swagger puzzles me. Pretty predictable winner here. Maryse/Gail will be great next week! Sheamus/Dibiase was a little out there and I love it. Orton must be disappointed in little Ted. Triple H/Orton will be epic. Sheamus making Triple H the victor via disqualification makes him one-up Orton again, but I see Orton taking the Gold home this Sunday. Love that tag match a ton. Glad to see Team Cena get the win, but the aftermath was just better. Show just shaking his head makes me laugh. Hopefully MVP faces Miz soon. Hart Dynasty doing the talking for their relative is much better than Cena doing the talking. I love how Bret will be at the Rumble. Raw was a solid show Elliot, looking forward to more!

FRIDAY NIGHT SMACKDOWN 29th January, 2010
WWE SUPERSTARS TAPED MATCH TYSON KIDD W/ DAVID HART SMITH & NATALYA DEF. FINLAY
"Yes, sir we promised you a great Main Event..."
The pyrotechnics explode from the stage as the crowd go nuts. We are taken to Todd Grisham and Matt Striker who welcome us to the show. Instantly, we get a reminder of tonight's Main Event as the Unified Tag Team Championships will be on the line when D-Generation X defend against the Straight Edge Society, CM Punk and Luke Gallows. Also, not forgetting that the Intercontinental Championship will be on the line when Drew McIntyre defends against John Morrison. Before we get to the action, we are interrupted by the theme of D-Generation X who get a fantastic pop from the crowd in attendance.
Both Triple H and Shawn Michaels enter the ring, followed by the DX Mascot, Hornswoggle. They both grab a microphone and begins to speak. Triple H kicks things off, telling the crowd that tonight they will get to witness DX retain their titles once again here on SmackDown. He says that DX always focus on the task at hand, so the Rumble is put on hold and they are focusing on tonights title match. Shawn Michaels interrupts him and tells him that isn't the case. Michaels stresses that his main focus is on winning the Royal Rumble match, and has been for the past month. He tells HHH not to take offence, but he is dead set on the Rumble match, and that is his main priority. HHH tells him he understands his desire to win, but their Tag Titles are at stake and surely that must mean something to him. Michaels says it does, but not as much as ending the Undertaker's WrestleMania Streak. HHH seems quite annoyed at this and tells Shawn that he seriously needs to get over his 'Undertaker Streak' business. He reminds Shawn that he has already warned him, he will be winning the Rumble, therefore HBKs plan will not work. Michaels tells HHH that with all due respect, he will not pull any punches when it comes to HHH and anyone who gets in his way will be thrown over the top rope. Before anything can go any further, we hear the theme of CM Punk who comes out with Luke Gallows and Serena by his side.
Punk chuckles to himself and says that there seems to be a problem within DX. He says that this will only help the Straight Edge Society along the way to gaining the gold. Both Triple H and Shawn Michaels say "Shut up!" to CM Punk as the crowd laugh. Punk says he will not shut up and he and Gallows will be walking out of SmackDown as the new Unified Tag Team Champions. He drops the microphone as SmackDown fades to a promo package.
We see a promo package for the Royal Rumble this Sunday, January 31st, 2010. It is played to the theme of 'Hero' by Skillet and mainly focuses on the Royal Rumble match. SmackDown then cuts to a commercial break.
C O M M E R C I A L B R E A K
DOLPH ZIGGLER DEF. R-TRUTH In a rematch from last week, Dolph Ziggler wanted revenge on R-truth after his defeat. The two battled it out, back and forth, Truth gained an advantage. He was ready to finish Ziggler off with the Scissors Kick, but as he went for it, Ziggler avoided. R-Truth stumbled slightly and this allowed Ziggler to leap up and drill him with the ZigZag for the vicory.
Ziggler escaped the ring in celebration as the crowd booed him. He smirked as he backed up the ramp. SmackDown then cuts backstage.
We see Theodore Long and Vickie Guerrero in the General Managers office along with Curt Hawkins. Vickie is all over Hawkins like a rash and it is obvious that Long doesn't like it. They are interrupted by Chris Jericho who strolls in and squares up to Long. He tells Long he is fed up of losing on SmackDown and is still hacked off that he cannot appear on Raw. Long tells him he can't help it if Jericho loses, that's got nothing to do with him. Jericho demans that Long puts him in a match tonight which he can win. Long scratches his head and then tells Jericho he has the perfect match. Jericho smiles and leaves the office. Vickie asks Long who she chose as his opponent, but Long won't tell her. Vickie boasts that Hawkins will also be in action tonight against Matt Hardy. SmackDown then cuts back to ringside.
CHARLIE HAAS & MIKE KNOX DEF. CRYME TYME A relitively quick match and quite frankly, a shocking result. These two teams went head to head, but it was Haas and Knox that reigned supreme. Haas showed a brand new violent side to him, obviously rubbed off from his partner, Mike Knox. Cryme Tyme got a bit of an upper hand mid-match, taking Haas down with the G-9, but it was Knox who was the legal man, unbeknown to Cryme Tyme. He jumped into the ring and nailed JTG with a Bicycle Kick and then covered him for the victory.
Haas and Knox left the ring as Shad checked on JTG. SmackDown then fades to a commercial break.
C O M M E R C I A L B R E A K
We return to see Josh Mathews, ready to interview John Morrison who will be challenging Drew McIntyre for the Intercontinental Championship up next. He asks Morrison if he is ready for this title match. Morrison tells Mathews that he is always ready and that he is going to give it his all. He says that McIntyre thinks he is something he is not, just because Mr. McMahon personally asked for him to be signed. He says that tonight, McIntyre will be head to head with the true Guru of Greatness and that the Intercontinental Championship is coming back to the Palace of Wisdom. He leaves as we fade to ringside.
DREW MCINTYRE [C] DEF. JOHN MORRISON to retain the Intercontinental Championship. A brilliant match with two grat competitors. Morrison kicked things off, showing us all that he was as determined as ever to get the title back. He locked up with McIntyre and whipped him into the corner, following it up with a running dropkick. Later on in the match, Morrison got the chance to hit the Starship Pain, but McIntyre moved. However, this didn't stop Morrison as he lands on his feet. McIntyre is all over the place and nearly gets hit with the Moonlight Drive, but he quickly escapes and delivers a sneaky low blow to Morrison. The referee doesn't see it because it was that quick. McIntyre grabs the head of Morrison and drills him into the mat with the Scot Drop for the victory.
McIntyre grabs his title and stands tall over Morrison. He squats and shouts into Morrison's face, telling him that he will never be the Intercontinental Champion again as long as he holds the belt. He then shoves the face of Morrison to one side as he leaves the ring. We then cut to a promo package.
We see a 'Don't Try This' package featuring multiple WWE superstars. We then return to SmackDown.
CURT HAWKINS W/ VICKIE GUERRERO DEF. SLAM MASTER J In a very quick match, Hawkins dominates Slam Master J, eventually finishing him off with the Laugh Riot for the victory.
Hawkins celebrates with Vickie Guerrero as SmackDown fades to a commercial break.
C O M M E R C I A L B R E A K
As we return we see Theodore Long in the ring with a microphone. He tells the crowd that he has issued a small Royal Rumble preview which is up next featuring 6 superstars from SmackDown in an Over-the-Top-Rope Challenge. The match then gets underway.
CHRIS JERICHO DEF. KANE, BATISTA, THE GREAT KHALI, DAVID HART SMITH & MATT HARDY A bit quick, but a decent match overall. The first elimination occured near the beginning as The Great Khali was tipped over the top by all 5 other superstars. David Hart Smith was next as Kane held him up high and launched him over the topres into his tag team partner who was at ringside, Tyson Kidd. Matt Hardy followed as Batista clotheslined him over the ropes. Chris Jericho found himself between the two monsters, Batista and Kane. He ran out of the way, leaving Batista and Kane to trade blows. Batista and kane had each other on the ropes and were eliminating each other, but Jericho quickly swept in and tipped both men over the top, gaining himself the vicory.
Chris Jericho celebrated with a huge grin on his face. He then turned around to see the angry faces of Batista and Kane. Jericho feld the ring and left up the ramp as quickly as possible as SmackDown fades to a promo package.
We see a promo for WWEs latest album release. WWE: The Music, Vol. 10 - A New Day, released last night on Amazon only! SmackDown then returns.
MICHELLE MCCOOL W/ LAYLA DEF. MARIA W/ MICKIE JAMES A quick divas match to build up the feud between McCool and Mickie. McCool dominated most of the match and defeated Maria after hitting her with the FaithBreaker. As she covered Maria, she stared into the yes of Mickie, trying to intimidate her.
Afterwards, Michelle and Layla did their usual insults to Mickie, calling her Piggie James and almost making her cry again, but unbeknown to them, the Glamazon, Beth Phoenix was stood behind them out of nowhere. McCool and Layla turned around and immediately tried to get out of her way, but Phoenix delivered a double clothesline to them both. The crowd loved it and Phoenix picked up the Womens Championship, lifted it high and declared that she wanted the gold. Theodore Long came out and made it clear that this Sunday, as a last minute addition, there will be a Triple Threat Womens Title match between Michelle McCool, Beth Phoenix and Mickie James. Mickie and Phoenix nodded at each other as SmackDown fades to a commercial break.
C O M M E R C I A L B R E A K
We return to see a split screen. The Unified Tag Team Champions, D-Generation X are seen on the left, and CM Punk and Luke Gallows are seen on the right, both teams walking to the ring for their match. We then cut to a promo package.
We see a promo package, reminding us what has happened so far on Monday Night Raw, regarding the Bret Hart situation. It ends with the clip where the Hart Dynasty reveal that Hart will be at the Rumble and a shot of McMahon's face is seen looking shocked. We then returns to SmackDown.
D-GENERATION X [C] W/ HORNSWOGGLE DEF. CM PUNK & LUKE GALLOWS W/ SERENA to retain the Unified Tag Team Championships. A fantastic way to round off the final SmackDown before the Royal Rumble event. Triple H started things off with Luke Gallows as the two traded blows. Triple H got the advantage and took Gallows down with a high knee. He tagged in HBK who came in and went to work on Gallows. However, Gallows fought back and the SES gained control. Gallows and Punk made frequent tags and Punk was the legal man eventually. He had Michaels up for the Go To Sleep, but Michaels slipped off and hit Punk with the flying forearm. Michales did the kip-up and tagged in HHH out of nowhere. He exploded in and took it to Punk with everything he had. Triple H was ready for a Pedigree, but in the corner of our screen, we could see Shawn Michaels tuning up the band. The crowd were on the edge of their seats, wondering what Michaels was doing. He unleashed his energy and nailed the Sweet Chin Music... on Luke Gallows! Gallows was about to break up the Pedigree, but HBK stopped him. Triple H then hit the Pedigree on Punk and got the three count for the victory.
CM Punk, Luke Gallows and Serena left ringside in disappointment. D-Generation X and Hornswoggle gathered their titles and was about to leave ringside, but Shawn Michaels stopped Triple H from leaving. They turned to face each other and the stare down was so intense. Michaels then offered a handshake to The Game and he took it. DX then left ringside with their titles intact as SmackDown fades to a close.

Altercations with DX = Coolio. Ziggler beating Truth? Eek. But yes, right decision. Surprised Haas and Knox would get the victory off of that... McIntyre retaining the Intercontinental Championship was a better decision, as much as I am a fan of Morrison, he shouldn't get it back. At least not now. Hawkins squash. McCool defeating Maria is obvious. And lastly good main event between DX and the SES... interesting post-match bit.

- The opening promo builds the title match later well. - Glad Ziggler gets a victory after his loss last week. - Hawkins and Vickie..are they a couple? Jericho v a mystery opponent. Interesting. - Wait.. Charlie Haas.. winning matches? That isn't right! I kid, I like that the two of them are getting a push. - Glad McIntyre retained, it was the right move. - Wasn't Hawkins facing Matt? Whatever, squash all the same. - Ahh thats where Hardy is . Like Jericho being built up as a possible winner with the victory. - Expected outcome with McCool beating Maria. - That'll be an excellent triple threat match. - Expected outcome with DX winning. Tension between the two heading into the Rumble. Good Smackdown! built towards the Rumble well.

WWW.F4WONLINE.COMReported by Dave MeltzerREY MYSTERIO, SD MATCH CHANGES, ROYAL RUMBLE & MORE!- Many people noticed and were quite disappointed at the fact that the Rey Mysterio/Undertaker match received zero hype this past Friday on SmackDown. The reason behind it all was Rey Mysterio was unable to attend the tapings due to personal reasons and was unavailable for the event. Undertaker was not scheduled to make an appearence in the first place, saving his energy for the Rumble this Sunday, but apparently, Mysterio was scheduled to compete. - Due to Mysterio not competing, there was a slight miscalculation of matches. Revealed earlier in the night during SmackDown, Curt Hawkins was set to compete against Matt Hardy, however, that was switched to Slam Master J as Matt Hardy was placed in the 6 Man Battle Royal. A lot of confusion at the past tapings, but nothing that the WWE cannot manage. - The Royal Rumble is probably one of the most anticipated Pay Per Views, each and every year. This year should be no different as apparently the creative team have many surprises in store for us leading up the Road to WrestleMania 26. Regarding Shawn Michaels/Undertaker II, that match is still undecided as of recently, but obviously, all will become clear when the Royal Rumble takes place. The Rumble match itself will determine a ton of storyline directions and feuds, so be sure to keep and eye out for that. - The Womens Championship match has been added to WWE.com. If you haven't heard it yet, Michelle McCool will defend her Womens Title against both Mickie James and Beth Phoenix in a Triple Threat match at the Rumble. This will be the only Diva match on the card as the Divas Championship will be decided less than 24 hours later at the Raw live event. Advertisement: REY MYSTERIO Released for no-show!!
