8th March, 2010 - Portland, ORECarlito def. PrimoBrother versus brother and Carlito comes out on top, hitting the Backstabber on Primo for the victory. The Abraham Washington ShowSpecial Guest: MVP "Yes, sir, we promised you a great Main Event..."CUE OPENING VIDEOTHE ANGEL DESCENDSAfter the pyrotechnics, we immediately go to Justin Roberts in the ring, obviously ready to speak. He tells us that tonights Guest Host is a well known illusionist, musician and actor. He then introduces tonights Guest Host, Criss Angel! No music hits which leaves Roberts and the crowd confused. Suddenly, the lights go out in a Undertaker fashion, only when they return to normal lighting, Justin Roberts is gone and has been replaced by Criss Angel, in the exact same suit, holding the same microphone. The crowd pop as Angel appears in the ring. He smirks and then speaks into the microphone, telling us how great it feels to be a part of the WWE. He says that last night, he had a vision which led him to book a match for tonights show. He reveals that the match will be the WWE Champion, Randy Orton, taking on both Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase in a Handicap match. The crowd go nuts as they hear that. Angel is about to go onto something else, but is cut off by the theme of the WWE Champion. The crowd boo as Orton makes his way to the ring. THE VIPER ISN'T PLEASEDOrton comes out and begins shouting at Angel, asking him what he thinks he is doing, putting him in a match against The Legacy. He says that as the WWE Champion, Guest Hosts should show him respect and book him fairly to ensure he is at his full potential for WrestleMania. Angel retailiates, saying that Orton doesn't yet have a WrestleMania match, so why is he assuming he'll be at WrestleMania. Orton says that he is the WWE Champion and that he WILL be going to WrestleMania. Angel rubs his chin and seemingly starts to think. He then looks at Orton and says he has an idea. He is about to leave the ring, but Orton grabs him. He says that Angel didn't change the Handicap match, but Angel says he never said he would. He snatches his arm away from Orton and leaves ringside, leaving Orton angered and full of rage. We then fade to a commercial break. C O M M E R C I A L B R E A KKOFI KINGSTON & EVAN BOURNE def. JACK SWAGGER & SHEAMUSAll four of these men are participants in the Money in the Bank Ladder match at WrestleMania XXVI. They battled it out in this tag team match, hoping to gain some early momentum, running into the event. Only one team could do that, and it was Kingston and Bourne. The match came to its closing moments when Evan Bourne was able to hit the Shooting Star Press on Jack Swagger for the victory.Afterwards, Kingston and Bourne shook hands and celebrated, but the celebration was cut short by Sheamus who drilled Bourne with a Bicycle Kick. Kingston tried to save him, but it was too late and Sheamus fled from the ring with Swagger. Kingston checked on Bourne who was completely unconcious as we fade backstage. PLOTTING AWAYBackstage, we are taken to a meeting between Mr. McMahon and SmackDown superstars, Batista. They get tons of heat. We hear McMahon saying that they are going to rip Hart and Cena to shreds in their matches at WrestleMania, saying he has actually been aiting to get his hands on Hart for a long time. Batista thanks McMahon for his match with John Cena, saying that he has the chance to make an even bigger impact than just attacking Cena, but beating him at WrestleMania. The two are interrupted as the Guest Host Criss Angel walks in to a pop. Mr. McMahon looks at him and says "Mr. Angel, thankyou for joining us as Guest Host this week, now if you'd excuse me...". But Angel doesn't leave. Instead, he just stares at McMahon and Batista and shakes his head. He says that he has seen some disgusting things in his time, and done some disgusting tricks for that matter, but none as disgusting as what McMahon and Batista have been doing to Bret Hart and John Cena recently. McMahon gets angry and tells Angel to mind his own business and get back to work. Angel says that McMahon isn't his boss, and he won't do as he says. He says that tonight, he wants to give the fans a little something to remember him by, and he has just the thing... a match. He says he wants to make an impact on his one night on Raw, and therefore, he says it will be Mr. McMahon... versus Criss Angel, tonight! The crowd go wild as McMahon looks on confused. McMahon then starts to chuckle, asking if he is serious. Angel nods his head and then McMahon and Batista both burst out laughing. McMahon agrees to the match, obviously not taking Angel seriously at all. McMahon says he has some wrestling gear spare, so he'll see him in the ring tonight. Angel says he looks forward to it and leaves the room. McMahon and Batista chuckle as we fade to a promo package. We see a promo package for tomorrow nights WWE NXT broadcast. It advertises a match between CM Punk and Darren Young, Pro versus Rookie, tomorrow night! We then return to Raw. We see Shawn Michaels on his way to the ring, ready to compete up next. He doesn't look good at all, infact, he looks very blank and depressed, much like previous weeks. However, he will compete. We then cut to a commercial break. C O M M E R C I A L B R E A KEZEKIEL JACKSON w/ William Regal def. SHAWN MICHAELSJackson is getting the opportunity of a lifetime here, and he definitely gets the job done. With just under three weeks until WrestleMania, things are not looking good for HBK. How can he even compete? Ezekiel Jackson dominates the later part of the match after Michaels had been wore down. Jackson even began to mock Michaels, unhappy that he wasn't getting any competition. He slapped Michaels around a bit before finally deciding to end the match with the Book of Ezekiel. Jackson and Regal leave ringside in celebration. THIS ISN'T GOOD, KING...Shawn Michaels suddenly sits up, obviously in pain from the match. He yet again looks into his empty hands, but doesn't say anything this time. Suddenly, we see Triple H rush to the ring and try to comfort Michaels. We see him grab a microphone and say "Maybe the WrestleMania match was a bad idea, Shawn, you're not mentally stable." Michaels suddenly turns his head to Triple H and leaps to his feet before tackling The Game to the canvas. He begins to unload rights and lefts on him as we hear him repeat "It's over! It's over! It's over!". Triple H finally manages to escape the shots and backs up the ramp, looking extremely worried, holding his head. Shawn suddenly stops having his fit and leans on the midle rope, staring out into space. This, more than ever before, made everyone think that SHawn Michaels had completely lost his mind. He was behaving like a complete mad man and nobody could do anything to stop him. He obviously cannot understand that Triple H is trying to help him, but Michaels is not well enough to understand. Triple H, holding his hand over his mouth, looking really upset, leaves behind the curtain as we fade to promo package. We see a promo package, advertising the WWE WrestleMania Revenge Tour, coming to the United Kingdom this April. We then return to Raw. KELLY KELLY w/ Gail Kim def. MARYSE w/ Alicia FoxA very surprising outcome to this match to say the least. Last week, Kelly Kelly came to the aid of Gail Kim when Maryse and Fox attacked. This week, she takes on Maryse in one on one action... and wins. Maryse goes for the French TKO, but Kelly ducks and hits Maryse in the gut before planting her with the K2 for the victory. Kelly Kelly and Gail Kim celebrate as Maryse and Fox leave up the ramp. We then fade to a commercial break. C O M M E R C I A L B R E A KWe return to see Michael Cole and Jerry 'The King' Lawler at the announce desk. They revel that this weeks Hall of Fame inductees are two of the greatest tag team wrestlers in history and are former WWE Tag Team Champions. Please welcome the following inductees into the WWE Hall of Fame, Class of 2010... INDUCTEES #5We then go to our next contest, the Handicap match. THE LEGACY def. RANDY ORTON via CountoutA very interesting match to say the least. Orton was always looking for opportunities, knowing he would struggle in a match like this. It should definitely be noted that Cody Rhodes was extremely reluctant to get involved, but DiBiase tagged him in anyway, and he and Orton went head to head. However, in the end, Orton saw that he wasn't getting anywhere and left the ring, grabbed his title and fled. He eventually got counted out, giving Legacy the victory. ORTON SLITHERS NOW... BUT NOT FOREVER!Randy Orton stood atop the ramp as Legacy looked on at him. DiBIase was ready to go up there and beat him, but once again, it was Rhodes who holds him back. Before anything can happen, Criss Angel comes out in his wrestling gear, obviously ready for his match later on. He speaks to Orton, Legacy and the WWE Universe. He says that before Orton rudely interrupted him earlier on, he was going to go further into detail about what this match would bring depending on the result. Angel says that before Orton interrupted him, he was going to reveal that if Randy Orton was to lose this Handicap match... he would be forced to defend his WWE Championship in a Triple Threat match at WrestleMania... against Rhodes and DiBiase! Orton's jaw drops as he stares at Angel. Ted DiBiase looks so happy, he smirks at Orton up the ramp, signalling the belt around his waist. Rhodes stays very quiet inside the ring, not knowing whether to look pleased or unpleased, obviously stuck in the middle of this war. Angel leaves behind the curtain ans Orton stomps his feet. He clutches his WWE Championship to his chest as we fade to a promo package. We se a quick promo package, telling us that WrestleMAnia XXVI is 20 days away. We then return to Raw. THE HART DYNASTY VISITThe crowd pop as they hear the guitar riff, but suddenly begin to boo as they realise that it isn't Bret, it's Tyson Kidd, David Hart Smith and Natalya, The Hart Dynasty. They enter the ring and Kidd begins to speak to the WWE Universe. He says that this past Friday on SmackDown, The Hart Dynasty were announced as one of the four teams in the Unified Tag Team Championships match at WrestleMania. He says that he ahs heard a lot of people saying that they don't deserve the spot. He then hands the microphone over to Smith. He says that those people are wrong. He says that The Hart Dynasty have something to prove, and they will prove that by winning the titles at WrestleMania. Before they can continue, they are interrupted by the theme of MVP, who comes out alongside his partner, Mark Henry. MVP says that The Hart Dynasty do a lot of talking, but little action. He cracks a joke, saying he didn't even know who they were until last Friday. The crowd laugh. Smith shouts, saying that MVP better stop running his mouth, because he's going to get what's coming to him. He says "Hey, if you can get through the 400 pounds, World's Strongest Man, then be my guest!". Once again, he gets a chuckle from the crowd. He says that if they're so tough, then how about they have a tag team match this Friday on SmackDown, and then see how tough they area. The Hart Dynasty agree and it seems the match is set. We then fade to a commercial break. C O M M E R C I A L B R E A KAN INTERVIEW WITH ANGELBackstage, we see Josh Matthews alongside the Guest Host for tonight, Criss Angel. He says that tonight, Angel has made a huge impact and not only made a WrestleMania Main Event, but challenge the Chairman of the Board to a match. He asks him if he knows what he is doing. Angel says he knows exactly what he is doing, and we will all see in a matter of minutes. Mathews wishes him luck and Angel leaves as we fade to a promo package. We see a 'Don't Try This' package featuring multiple WWE superstars. We then return to Raw. MR. MCMAHON vs. CRISS ANGEL never gets started.The two make their way to the ring, neither accompanied by anyone. Before the match can begin, angel grabs a microphone and asks Mr. McMahon if he is stupid. McMahon and the crowd are slightly confused. Angel says "Did you honestly think I was going to get in the ring with you? Gimme a break... it's not me you should be worried about..." HART ATTACK!Suddenly, Bret Hart leaps into the ring in his jeans a t-shirt, lunging on McMahon. He unloads on him as the crowd go absolutely crazy. He delivers rights and lefts to the skull, but Batista is on his way to the ring. He enters and grabs Bret Hart, holding him back. McMahon gets to his feet, and it looks as if he is about to punch Hart, but then... the theme of John Cena hits and Batista drops Bret. Cena rushes to the ring and begins to trade blows with Batista. Mr. McMahon stands back, not knowing what to do. Suddenly, Bret Hart gets to his feet and begins delivering rights to McMahon. John Cena throws Batista over the top ropes, launching him to the outside. Mr. McMahon tries to escape, shoving Bret Hart aside, but much to the crowd enjoyment, he runs into Criss Angel. Angel drills him with a huge right hand, dropping the Chairman to the ground. McMahon rolls out of the ring and Batista helps him up the ramp. For the second week in a row, John Cena ad Bret Hart stand tall, this time, alongside Criss Angel. Raw fades to a fantastic close as we see a shot of Cena, Hart and Angel, all three with their hands in the air. © 2010 World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc.

Nice opening segment and a great use of Criss Angel. The handicap match should be pretty good, although like a few other things in this diary you seem to be using a lot of real life booking. Good opening tag match, and a nice way to build towards Money in the Bank. I have a feeling either Kingston or Sheamus are going to pick up the briefcase. Nice segment between Angel and Vince, although its obvious where its going. Good booking of Jackson while still pushing forward the Michaels/ Triple H feud. Not sure on Kelly Kelly getting the clean win over Maryse, just don't see where your going to take this. Nice to see the Legion of Doom being inducted into the Hall of Fame. Solid swerve with the Orton/ DiBiase/ Rhodes feud, it'll be interesting to see who you have Rhodes align himself with, if anyone. I'm loving how your building up the tag division, the four way tag match at Mania is an awesome idea. The ending of RAW was pretty obvious, but good none the less. Solid show man, loving the diary so keep it up.

- Good opening promo between Angel/Orton. - Kingston and Bourne winning is alright. Wouldn't of minded Swagger/Sheamus to win. - Nice segment between McMahon/Angel. I smell Bret Hart. - Jackson over Michaels is huge. Hope he gets the US title soon. - Good post-match stuff between Michaels and HHH. - Surprised to see Kelly over Maryse. Not a fan of it either. - Glad to see L.O.D. get into HOF... Ohhh what a rush. - Orton/DiBiase/Rhodes at Mania for the title is sweet. Wonder who Rhodes sides with. - Liking the tag team stuff you got going. - And the ending to the show was good.
Good show as usual.

-Opening segment was pretty cool, Angel switching into Roberts' attire was cool -Tag match was nice, glad the faces won, but not sure what Sheamus got involved for -Mr. McMahon/Criss Angel should be interesting -Jackson over HBK is huge for his career and Michaels attacking HHH was a good move -Kelly beating Maryse was ok -Legacy/Orton was decent, looking forward to when they meet for the WWE Title at WrestleMania -I like the Dynasty getting promo time on Raw -Ending Raw with Angel, Cena & Hart standing tall was great as Hart hasn't really got the chance to be on top throughout this feud
Great stuff as always, looking forward to WrestleMania

WWE SmackDown: Friday 5th March 2010...Alright, the real life date scale idea is actually a very good idea. Cryme Tyme beating Trent Barreta and Caylen Croft was acceptable, but I really wish that Barreta and Croft were to be used more properly and accurately. Rey Mysterio and Dolph Ziggler had a decent match that probably main evented the show; fine for Mysterio to win. I see Mysterio being closer to winning Money in the Bank than Ziggler. Chris Jericho's promo was very nice, and very fine also. Looking forward to Jericho facing The Undertaker at WrestleMania XXVI for the World Heavyweight Championship. Pretty strange though, is the fact that Jericho cowers from facing John Cena; pretty uncharacteristic for him, a man who claims to not be scared of 'Taker. The Miz and Big Show against Edge and Christian, pretty likely. No problem with that, I suppose. R-Truth in Money in the Bank is for the best, Mike Knox is a big guy, and doesn't carry too much value in my mind. Next, pretty decent match between Shelton Benjamin and Vance Archer; Benjamin winning the contenders tournament was so predictable; it's just that Benjamin against Drew McIntyre for the WWE Intercontinental Championship...while that's a good match on paper, I feel at WrestleMania, almost nobody would care too much. It'd be the least anticipated match on the card. Christian beating The Miz is fine, great first hour to the show, but a fatal-four-way tag team match at WrestleMania XXVI is useless; it screams WrestleMania XX [only one match instead of two], Hart Dynasty & MVP and Mark Henry aren't needed, and it makes Edge and Christian look like obscene midcarders; they aren't. It should have just been Edge and Christian against Big Show and The Miz, with MVP, Henry and the Dynasty in a battle royal, maybe on the pre-show. Next, this combination of John Morrison and Yoshi Tatsu is intriguing, and amazing win for Morrison and Tatsu over the Straight Edge Society. Hopefully following 'Mania, we'll get to see Serena in some in-ring competition. Kane beating Vladimir Kozlov, I dislike that. Kane's been in several Money in the Bank matches and looked useless in the actual match; I'm sure Kozlov is actually more athletic in aerial combat than Kane. Chris Jericho beating John Cena was fine, Batista interfering was wise. The postmatch stuff was fine. Very good edition, but it seemed so much more like an edition of RAW.
WWE RAW: Monday 8th March 2010...Decent match for Superstars, with Carlito beating Primo. Pretty good idea for the Abraham Washington Show to go on Superstars, but really oughta have been used on RAW somehow. MVP as special guest? Very bizarre there. Criss Angel is being used wisely, and good idea with Angel but going with Randy Orton against both Ted Dibiase and Cody Rhodes of The Legacy is strange. Orton complaining is strange too, considering he's meant to be playing the babyface part. Opening contest seemed pretty good, Kofi Kingston and Evan Bourne beating Jack Swagger and Sheamus is fine, Sheamus attacking after the bell is good. Angel being in Vince McMahon's business with Batista was amusing, and a match tonight should be actually quite entertaining; expecting a lot of interference. Ezekiel Jackson beating Shawn Michaels elevated the hell out of Zeke, but the clean victory to Zeke hurt HBK, no matter how you try to evolve his character. Shawn Michaels and Triple H's segment was fine, HBK needs to start snapping out of it, and the two need to start intensely feuding rather than HBK jobbing out and getting more emotional. With three weeks until WrestleMania XXVI, too. Kelly Kelly beating Maryse is alright I suppose; wondering where this is going with the Divas into WrestleMania. Marvelous that the Legion of Doom are in Hall of Fame, Class of 2010. The Legacy over Rnady Orton is fine, Cody Rhodes being hesitant? Weird. Randy Orton running away was bizarre. I'm confused how you try to make Dibiase and Rhodes look face. Orton as a cowardly WWE Champion heel to them though...that makes no sense when Orton's previously abused Dibiase and Rhodes for losses. The Hart Dynasty really shouldn't have had the promo on RAW. Maybe SmackDown, hell even Superstars. Tyson Kidd and David Hart Smith are terrible on the microphone; unless Natalya did the work. MVP and Mark Henry's getting involved is fine. Superstars worthy; hence why MVP was on the Abraham Washington Show. This is where it should have gone down. On RAW, it was a collosal waste of time. Hot main event, and good idea with Bret Hart and John Cena getting in there. A good show, hyping WrestleMania XXVI still.

I really enjoyed most of RAW, especially the end segment, great thing to do with Criss Angel and Bret Hart, and Cena nad Bret getting the upper hand this time was a refreshing change of pace. The HBK/HHH segment was also fantastic again, and the segments in the show all around were home runs, which i give you credit for. It's hard sometimes to pull off a segment oriented show and for it to keep it interesting, but the first Orton/Angel segment was also top notch, and the announcement of the triple threat has mania shaping up well

9th March, 2010 - SEATTLE"Yes, sir, we promised you a great Main Event..."CUE OPENING VIDEOJosh Mathews and Michael Cole are by ringside, welcoming us to the show. We hear that tonight, the Main Event will be Pro versus Rookie as Darren Young goes head to head with CM Punk. But first, we move into our opening contest. WADE BARRETT w/ Chris Jericho def. HEATH SLATER w/ ChristianA relitively quick match here, but it got the point across, showing that Wade Barrett will do anything to succeed, much like his mentor, Chris Jericho. Slater gained a small advantage mid-match, but in the end, Wade Barrett rolled Slater up and propped his feet on the middle rope to pick up the victory. The referee never saw a thing. Barrett and Jericho left ringside as Christian helped Slater to his feet. He pats him on the back and says "Better luck next time" as we fade backstage. We see a 'Don't Try This' promo package featuring SmackDown superstar, Edge. We then cut to a commercial break. C O M M E R C I A L B R E A KYOUNG IN CONFUSION?We see Matt Striker, standing alongside Darreny Young who will be in tonights Main Event against his mentor, CM Punk. Striker says that Young must be feeling a little down, knowing that his mentor wants nothing to do with him. Young says that's the case and tells us that he was looking forward to working with Punk so much, only to have it shoved back in his face. He says that he has no hatred towards Punk, but he wants to prove to him that he can win this show and make it to the main roster, by defeating him tonight. Striker says that defeating a Pro is a tough accomplishment, but Young says he knows he is capable, and by doing so, he can show that he can go head to head with the WWE roster. He then walks off as we fade to the ring. JUSTIN GABRIEL & MATT HARDY def. MICHAEL TARVER & CARLITOCarlito and Tarver haven't had the best of times so far, losing to Otunga and Truth last week. Tonight, they suffered yet another loss, this time at the hands of Justin Gabriel and Matt Hardy. Carlito was the legal man when he was hit with the Twist of Fate from Hardy, followed by a 450 Splash from Gabriel for the victory. After the match, Gabriel and Hardy celebrated, the crowd really popping for Gabriel. Tarver storms off, upset with Carlito after the loss. Carlito rushes after him as we fade to a promo package. BRYAN HAS MORE PROBLEMSWe see Daniel Bryan backstage, and he is interruped by his mentor, the United States, and one falf of the Unified Tag Team Champions, The Miz. He cockily walks up to Bryan and they get face to face. Miz says he has kindly booked Bryan a match for tonight, regardless of his rib injury. Bryan looks on without saying anything. Miz says he has got him a match with David Otunga and it's up next, so he better hurry up. Miz leaves as we fade to a commercial break. C O M M E R C I A L B R E A KDAVID OTUNGA w/ R-Truth def. DANIEL BRYANFor the second week in a row, The Miz leaves his Rookie to go out alone, obviously still punishing him after he defeated Miz two weeks ago. Bryan puts up a vliant effort, but in the end, his rib injury, combined with the power of Otunga, he can't keep up. Otunga smashes Bryan to the mat with a huge Spinebuster before picking up the victory. Otunga and Truth celebrate as we fade to a backstage segment on a shot of the pain-filled face of Daniel Bryan. THE SOCIETY AREN'T HAPPYWe see CM Punk backstage along with Luke Gallows and Serena. He says that tonight, he could get his chance to get off of WWE NXT by beating one of its Rookies to a pulp. He says that he has no interest in sticking around any longer on this 'second rate show'. He says that after he beats Young tonight, he will make sure he leaves a statement to the entire NXT roster, including the Pros. He then walks off as we get ready for our Main Event. DARREN YOUNG def. CM PUNK w/ Luke Gallows & Serena via Disqualification.Darren Young was determined in this match, and it showed. He gave a fantastic fight, not letting CM Punk demolish him. He battled back, keeping Punk at bay. Punk was surprised at how much fight Young was giving, and then called for reinforcements. Suddenly, Luke Gallows and Serena jumped into the ring and attacked Young, causing the referee to ring for a DQ ending. Gallows held Young up on his knees while Punk shouted in his face. He says that he doesn't want anything to do with him and wants to get off this 'god awful show'. Serena then slaps Young in the face before Gallows throws him to the canvas. BRYAN FOR THE SAVEOut of nowhere, Daniel Bryan rushes to the ring to check on Young. The Straight Edge Society looks on in confusion. They leave as Bryan stares them down. We then go backstage for Striker's Finla Thoughts. STRIKER'S FINAL THOUGHTSWe see Matt Striker alongside six of the eight NXT Rookies. He says that tonight, we have seen a Rookie make an attempt to defeat his Pro, but fail. Striker says that the tension must be high now that we are three weeks into the show. He then holds his ear, apparently getting word from someone backstage. He says this, "Ladies and gentlemen, I have just received wors that next week on WWE NXT, our Main Event will be Darren Young and Daniel Bryan versus CM Punk and The Miz". He then tells us to tune in next week as NXT fades to a close.

WRESTLING OBSERVER 10th March, 2010 - Another match was added to the WrestleMania XXVI card earlier today via WWE.com. It is a DIvas match which pits the two Champions, Mickie James and Gail Kim, against the two challengers, Maryse and Michelle McCool, in a Double Title match. The winning team will walk out of WrestleMania with both the Womens and Divas Championships. Expect a short amount of build to begin this Friday on SmackDown, running into the big event. - There have been many concerns regarding Bret Hart's physical health going into his Street Fight with Mr. McMahon at WrestleMania. Apparently, he has been given the all clear by his doctors, so long as he doesn't overwork himself. Don't expect a lot of fast-paced action in this one, but to be honest, who was expecting that anyway? The match will most likely be a classic, slow, wrestling match that we all want to see. However, regardless of the doctors orders, we are expecting the Street Fight ruling to come into play quite frequently, which obviously promotes weapon use. Let's face it, it's been a long, long time waiting for Bret Hart to kick McMahon's ass, so it's going to be done big! - There are two major stars scheduled to take time off following WrestleMania, and you can probably guess who. Both The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels will be taking some leave from the company to heal their injuries and aching bones. Something that should be noted is that The Undertaker is scheduled for events around SummerSlam time, whereas Shawn Michaels has no scheduled return and appears on no scheduled events in 2010 thus far. We have all heard about how Shawn Michaels has been ready to retire for the past few years, but will it happen at WrestleMania XXVI? - With just over two weeks until WrestleMania, it is probably safe to say that no more matches will be made for the event after this Friday night. This leaves us with a possible 9/10 match card which is average for a WrestleMania event. The Main Event is set to be the World Heavyweight Championship bout between the Champion, The Undertaker and the 2010 Royal Rumble winner, Chris Jericho. Also considered Main Events are Batista vs. John Cena, Mr. McMahon vs. Bret Hart , Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels and the Triple Threat WWE Championship match. - According to inside sources, the supposed 'talks' which former WWE and ECW superstar, Rob Van Dam was having with TNA have fallen through. Rumour has it that he was very close to signing a TNA contract, however, plans failed to be set into place and an agreement was never reached. RVD was supposedly in talks with the WWE as well, but it remains to be seen if he will return to the WWE now that he will not be signing with TNA wrestling. - Next week on Raw, Stone Cold Steve Austin returns to be the Guest Host. Apparently, this Monday's Raw will be a WrestleMania Rewind night, featuring matches from past WrestleManias throughout the show. Along with this, we are scheduled to get the official contract signing between Mr. McMahon and Bret Hart while Austin witnesses.

- Liked seeing Wade with the win over Heath, and glad he is showing some Jericho tactics. - Nice interview with Young, don't expect him to get the win against Punk though. - Glad to see Gabriel and Hardy over here, obviously the better team. - Liking that you have put Bryan into a slump thanks to Miz not being there. But I really hope that it doesn't last that long, because I would like to see Bryan prove he can do it on his own, as he just appears weak. - Like that you didn't make a joke out of Young, and had him get beat down and cause the DQ. - Surprised to see Bryan making the save for him. I suspect him and Young vs Miz and Punk? - Well, I guess I was right. Looking forward to that match. Sounds good.
Good NXT.

-Barrett over Slater was a good way to open, haven't seen much of either guy so far to really like one though -Young's promo sounded good -Interesting to have Carlito get pinned as it's the Pro letting down the rookie -Otunga beating Bryan is good, as even without victories, Bryan has looked good. Otunga is the other guy besides Bryan that I see being a star from NXT -Punk having the Society attack Young makes sense and I'm interested in seeing Bryan come to the rescue -Next week's main event sounds great
Very good edition of NXT

12th March, 2010 - SEATTLECurt Hawkins w/ Vickie Guerrero def. The HurricaneCurt Hawkins wins after rolling The Hurricane up and grabbing a handful of tights. Vladimir Kozlov def. FinlayKozlov defeats Finlay after hitting him with the Iron Curtain. "Yes, sir, we promised you a great Main Event..."CUE OPENING VIDEOThe pyrotechnics display explodes from the stage as we pan around the arena. Todd Grisham and Matt Striker welcome us to the show, revealing a couple of matches for tonight. We hear that tonight, the World Heavyweight Champion, The Undertaker will face off against his old nemesis, CM Punk in a non-title match for the Main Event. We also learn that Edge will take on one half of the Unified Tag Team Champions, the Big Show. And finally, we learn that Raw's MVP and Mark Henry will be here to take on The Hart Dynasty in tag team action. We then get straight into our first contest. DREW MCINTYRE & THE DUDEBUSTERS def. SHELTON BENJAMIN & CRYME TYMEThe Intercontinental Champion, Drew McIntyre will defend his Title against Shelton Benjamin at WrestleMania, therefore, this match was a mini-preview, putting both men on opposite teams in what was a fantastic opener. The match went back and forth, but the victory was gained when The Dudebusters hit JTG with their finishing move and Croft covered him for the win. After the match, Drew McIntyre left ringside with The Dudebusters as Benjamin and Shad helped JTG to his feet. Benjamin signalled that he was coming for the Title as we fade to a commercial break. C O M M E R C I A L B R E A KSLIGHTLY AWKWARD...Backstage, we see Edge and Christian to a huge pop. They are talking about how they can' wait to have their name in lights as a team again at WrestleMania XXVI. Christian says how good it would be for them to win the Unified Tag Team Championships on their return as a team. Edge says it would be fantastic. They are interrupted as the 2010 Royal Rumble winner, Chris Jericho walks past to a lot of heat. He looks at Edge and just smirks. Edge says that he hasn't forgot about Jericho, and their paths will cross someday soon, where he will get his revenge. Jericho chuckles and tells Edge that after he beats The Undertaker at WrestleMania, ends the Streak and becomes the World Heavyweight Champion, he will gladly give Edge a chance... so he can embarrass him even more! Jericho struts off, but before we fade away, Christian looks at Edge and says "How could you possibly team with that dude?". We then fade back to the arena. DOLPH ZIGGLER def. KANETwo of the eight participants in the Money in the Bank match, here. Kane had a big advantage for the most part, but it was Dolph Ziggler who came out of nowhere, dropping Kane to the canvas with the ZigZag and picking up the shocking victory. Ziggler celebrated for a moment, but then R-Truth rushed to the ring and began trading blows with Ziggler. Before they could do any further damage, Rey Mysterio runs to the ring and helps R-Truth to throw Ziggler from the ring. Mysterio and Truth have a bit of a staredown before eventually shaking hands. However, their friendship is cut short as Kane grabs both men around the neck and Chokeslams them both to the mat. Kane does his signature taunt and leaves as the dominant figure as we fade to a promo package. We see a WrestleMania XXVI package, telling us that the event is 16 days away. We then cut to a commercial break. C O M M E R C I A L B R E A KTHE HART DYNASTY w/ Natalya def. MVP & MARK HENRYThese two teams are a part of the Four Way Tag Title match at WrestleMania. They went at it, both teams showing their desire to win. MVP and Mark Henry made the challenge this past Monday on Raw, and tonight the match goes ahead. It came to an end when Natalya distracted the referee, allowing David Hart Smith to jump in and nail Mark Henry with a huge big boot. Tyson Kidd then followed up with a Springboard Elbow Drop and covered Henry for the victory. The Hart Dynasty fled from ringside as MVP slid into the ring, too late to save his partner. He loks on in anger as The Hart Dynasty smirk as they leave ringside. We then fade backstage. We see Batista walking down the corridor, obviously towards ringside. We then fade to a promo package. The promo package aired advertises the Pay Per View following WrestleMania which will be WWE Extreme Rules. We then return to SmackDown. BATISTA SPEAKSBatista makes his entrance to a ton of heat, but he ignores it all. The spotlight shines down on him as he begins to speak. He tells the WWE Universe that for the past two weeks on Raw, he and Mr. McMahon have been ridiculed by John Cena and Bret Hart. But, he then goes onto say that it still doesn't match up to what Batista did to Cena at Elimination Chamber. Batista says that at WrestleMania, he will once again destroy John Cena, making the lasting impact he craves so much. He says that John Cena has NEVER defeated him, and that isn't about to change. He knows Cena isn't here tonight and mocks him, saying that all he can do is pander to the pathetic crowd and hope for the best, but he is going to need more than that. He says he will take pleasure in completely ripping Cena to shreds in two weeks time, and he believes that Mr. McMahon will do the same to Bret Hart. Batista drops the microphone and leaves ringside to a lot of boos from the crowd. He leaves through the curtain as we fade to a commercial break. C O M M E R C I A L B R E A KJERICHO MEETS THE STRAIGHT EDGE SOCIETYWe see CM Punk, Luke Gallows and Serena backstage, Punk obviously preparing for his match with The Undertaker tonight. He says that he is the only person to ever make The Undertaker tap... but we all know that didn't really happen. Chris Jericho walks into the room, getting more heat. He says that he wants CM Punk to do what he can against The Undertaker tonight, soften him up for WrestleMania. Punk asks Jericho why he should help him, and what would be in it for the Straight Edge Society. Jericho says that he would be grateful for the help, and may even consider CM Punk as his first contender for the World Heavyweight Championship. Punk shakes his head and says "You know, to be honest, Chris, I don't think you'll be walking out with the Title...". The crowd give a little cheer as Jericho looks on in disgust. He storms off as CM Punk looks at him in confusion. Punk turns to Serena and Gallows before telling them that he will be defeating The Undertaker tonight, but not for CHris Jericho. We then fade to the arena. BIG SHOW w/ The Miz def. EDGE w/ ChristianEdge was ready to make in impression against his former ally, the Big Show, but instead, Show defeated Edge. Edge was about to go for a Spear on Show when The Miz grabbed the ankles of Edge. Christian ran around the ring and tackled Miz to the floor, but it was already too late as Show smashes Edge with the Knockout Blow, followed by a cover for the victory. Big Show and The Miz escape after grabbing their Titles. Edge and Christian regroup in the ring, shouting up the ramp at ShowMiz. The Miz pretends to cry, mocking Edge and Christian as we fade to a promo package. We see a 'Don't Try This' package featuring Raw superstar, John Cena. We then return to SmackDown. MICHELLE MCCOOL w/ Layla def. MICKIE JAMESAt WrestleMania, the Womens Champion, Mickie James will team up with Divas Champion, Gail Kim to defend their titles against Michelle McCool and Maryse. This was a preview of some sort, a non-title match. Michelle McCool managed to defeat Mickie James after hitting her with the FaithBreaker following a distraction from Layla. After she had won, McCool and Layla began to mock Mickie, slapping her head and laughing at her, calling her Piggie James. We then fade to a commercial break. C O M M E R C I A L B R E A KJOHN MORRISON MAKES A CHALLENGEJohn Morrison comes to the ring to a huge pop. He enters and speaks to the WWE Universe. He says that over the past few weeks, he and CM Punk have had some differences, but they have yet to be taken care of in singles action. So, he is out here right now to make the challenge to CM Punk for a match... at WrestleMania. The crowd pop at this. Morrison tells Punk to get out and accept. CM Punk makes his entrance, swiftly followed by Serena and Luke Gallows. They enter the ring, and Punk gets in Morrison's face. He asks Morrison if he is sure he wants to mess with the Straight Edge Society. Morrison chuckles and says of course he is. CM Punk takes offence to him seeing it as a joke and slaps him across the face before saying "Then I accept!". Morrison lunges for Punk, but he moves and Gallows catches him. He lifts him up and drills him with the Gallows Pole, driving him into the canvas. John Morrison rolls out of the ring in pain as the SES stand tall. Suddenly... GONG! The lights go out and the theme of The Undertaker follows as he makes his way to the ring. CM PUNK w/ Luke Gallows & Serena def. THE UNDERTAKER via Disqualification.The Undertaker is obviously very much ready for his title defens at WrestleMania, showing his power in this match. However, at one point, CM Punk starts to take control, giving the Phenom something to fight against. The match starts to go back and forth until CM Punk gets some breathing room. He delivers a huge superkick tp 'Taker, knocking him to the canvas. CM Punk leans in the corner to take the breather... but not for long. John Morrison has recovered and slides into the ring before tackling Punk to the canvas, causing a DQ ending. Morrison unloads on Punk, but Punk manages to escape as Luke Gallows pulls him from the ring. The Straight Edge Society flee, but Morrison gives chase much to the crowds enjoyment. SOME PAYBACK!The Undertaker gets to his feet inside the ring and was about to leave the ring to get his Title, but out of nowhere, the 2010 Royal Rumble winner, Chris Jericho jumps into the ring, spins him around and nails him with the Codebreaker. The crowd boo as Undertaker lay on the canvas out cold with Jericho stood over him, laughing to himself. Jericho grabs the World Title from ringside and holds it above his head as he stands tall over The Undertaker. SmackDown then fades to a close.

WRESTLING OBSERVER 13th March, 2010 - CM Punk versus John Morrison was officially added to the WrestleMania XXVI card last night after John Morrison made the challenge on SmackDown. We expect this to be the match to finalise the card as they now have ten matches confirmed, which seems like a reasonable WrestleMania number. - There was some talk regarding if the WWE NXT Rookies would be appearing at WrestleMania at all. It is highly unlikely that they will receive a match segment, however, there may be some sort of backstage segment utilising the talent. - Expect a few WWE releases to come later today. Word from within says that the WWE are looking to make a few budget cuts and do a bit of early Spring cleaning. Let's admit, there is a few people taking up space.

- Odd opening contest with the pairing of McIntyre and The Dudebusters. Doesn't seem to fit, but glad they won. - I lol'd at "How could you team with that dude?" I think you shoulda added Edge frowning at himself - Ziggler getting the win over Kane!? Huge momentum boost there. Post-match stuff promoted the MITB match good. - Like The Hart Dynasty beating MVP and Mark Henry here. A good decision. - Nice promo from Batista, and the one with the Straight Edge Society/Jericho was alright. Don't like Punk being doubtful of Jericho though. - Like that you had ShowMiz using cheatful tactics to pick up the win here. - McCool over Mickie is good. Gives her momentum upcoming to Mania. - Morrison/Punk promo was good. Looking forward to their match. - Punk winning by DQ is good. The post-match stuff was good to. Don't expect Jericho to win though. Good Smackdown.

First off; Apologies for the lack of replies. One for each show coming up :) Btw, I know its kinda petty, but with your Superstars logo, try cutting it off the white background and onto a transparent one. It'd make it a lot better to me.
Raw
I like the opening here with Angel making Roberts dissapear. The Handicap, while unoriginal, should be good. Angel not backing down from Orton is great. Glad to see Evan Bourne pick up a big victory, even if it is at Swagger's expense. I hope one or both of them leave RAW at the draft. McMahon v Criss Angel? Hmm, thats quite questionable. Punk v Young tomorrow night should be fun. Jackson beating Michaels is a huge rub for him, even if Michaels isn't in a fit state atm. The aftermath there is very good and well booked as well, and I like how Triple H is conflicted. Kelly beats Maryse? Clean? Again, questionable. LOD finally in the Hall of Fame. Great stuff. I like how Orton abandoned the contest, and how Cody was unwilling to get involved. Legacy triple threat at Mania is very interesting, especially with how it has been booked by you so far. I hope the focus remains on the feud rather than the title. Hart Dynasty on RAW? Interesting, I would've liked a segment with Bret though. The Tag match for Smackdown is most interesting, and I see The Hart Dynasty going over. Haha yes! I love how Angel has set up McMahon! The ending to the show was great, really had a feel good vibe to it. I like how Angel was used on the show, and the stories development will be interesting to see. Good show man!
NXT
Barrett over Slater is fine with me. I like Young's promo, though it builds him as a generic face tbh. You probably should have tried to inject a little character into him there. Gabriel is one of my favourites on NXT, as is Tarver, so seeing those two against each other was great. Although Carlito taking the fall makes sense, it does little to help his already low credibility. Otunga v Bryan is perfect really, it makes Miz just seem like he doesn't care for Bryan, and has done it to spite him. Otunga winning was expected, and I like the way Bryan has been left repeatedly now by Miz. The Main Event match up was great, and I'm glad Young wins via DQ. The way Punk thinks he's better than the show is pretty interesting, at least to me. Bryan checking on Young builds him as aface I s'pose, but I don't see the point of it otherwise, since he should be backstage recouping from his injuries earlier. Ahh, now I see why that happened, and that is a great main event for next week's show. Good edition of NXT here man.
Smackdown!
Two solid Superstars matches there. Punk vs Undertaker is an interesting main event, look forward to that. I like the opener, McIntyre v Benjamin will be a good contest at Wrestlemania, though I feel McIntyre could have done with getting the fall, or Shelton. I like the Edge and Christian seg, and the ironic (?) finish to it, with Christian questioning Edge on teaming with Jericho, despite him doing the same. Ziggler beating Kane is good, builds Ziggler as a threat in the MitB. I like the aftermath as well, with Kane standing tall over his opponents at Mania. As predicted earlier, The Hart Dynasty goes over here, and I'm glad they did. The Batista promo was well put together, and I like the way he re-inforced the fact Cena has never beat him, but it makes me think he will at Wrestlemania. I like the way that Punk told Jericho he doesn't think he'll beat Taker, and then how he will. I hope Punk does the job though tonight, but I see a DQ ending to the match. I like Show beating Edge, the two heel teams in the Tag match at Mania getting an advantage is interesting. Mickie loses to Michelle is fine, not too fussed there. The Morrison and CM Punk promo was great, and I'm glad it lead into the main event. As I called earlier, DQ ending, and I like Morrison chasing the SES away. Jericho standing tall to close the show is great, and I really enjoyed this edition of Smackdown! Keep up the great work, Elliot, you're diary is quality man!

15th March, 2010 - San Diego, CALIFORNIADARK MATCHEzekiel Jackson def. PrimoThe Legacy def. Carlito & Chavo GuerreroBoth Legacy members got a decent pop in this match, obviously setting in their face turn. They picked up the victory after DiBiase hit the Dream Street on Chavo. Sheamus def. Kofi KingstonSheamus is able to defeat Kofi Kingston after he drills him with a huge Bicycle Kick after aboiding the Trouble in Paradise. After the match the other six participants in the Money in the Bank match ran down and a big brawl took place to close WWE Superstars. "Yes, sir, we promised you a great Main Event..."Before Raw opens up, we see a recap of what happened on last weeks episode to close the show. It shows Mr. McMahon getting ready to battle Guest Host, Criss Angel, only for the match to not start and Bret Hart attack McMahon. For the second week in a row, Bret Hart and John Cena stand tall over Mr. McMahon and Batista. We then go to Raw. CUE OPENING VIDEOThe pyrotechnics hit and we are instantly taken to the ring where Justin Roberts stands. Before Roberts speaks, we hear Michael Cole and Jerry 'The King' Lawler, reminding us that tonight is WrestleMania Rewind night, featuring multiple Wrestle ania rematches from the past 26 years. He begins to speak into the microphone. He says that tonights Guest Host is a former six-time WWE Champion, three-time Royal Rumble winner and a member of the WWE Hall of Fame: Class of 2009, he is the Texas Rattlesnake - Stone Cold Steve Austin! THE RATTLESNAKE ARRIVES!One of the loudest pops of the year as WWE Hall of Famer, Stone Cold Steve Austin makes his way to the ring. Much to the crowds delight, he drives down to the ring on his patented quad bike, complete with two 3:16 flags on the back. He drives around the ring a couple of times before finally entering. He wears a brand new Stone Cold t-shirt and some jeans. He is kindly handed a microphone from Justin Roberts and begins to speak. He says that he is so glad to be back inside the WWE ring, his last appearence being at WrestleMania 25. He gets a pop, as well as the classic "What?!" chants. He says that tonight is a special night for him, because it is a WrestleMania Rewind night, and he gets to relive some of the moments that he witnessed years ago. He says that above all that, there is one thing that he has been itching to do once he got back... and that's sort out the conflict between Bret Hart and Mr. McMahon. The crowd cheer at the mere mention of the feud. He says that tonight, he will be initiating an official Contract Signing between the two of them, a contract which will state that neither man can touch each other until WrestleMania, and a contract that will confirm that they will go head to head in a Street Fight. Before Austin can continue, we hear a very familiar theme to a lot of heat... MR. MCMAHON IS HERE, TOO!Mr. McMahon makes his way to the ring, receiving tons of boos from the crowd. He enters the ring and speaks to Austin,. Firstly, he welcomes him back to the WWE. He says that the conflict between himself and Bret Hart is almost over, and this Contract Signing will be the beginning of the end of Bret Hart's career. He says that he knows Austin has a stories history with Hart too, and he knows he would love to hit one more Stunner on him. Austin chimes up, saying that he and Bret never had nothing but respect for each other, and what Mr. McMahon did nearly 13 years ago was terrible, and shall never be forgotten. McMahon doesn't even seem to regret it, smirking as he reminds himself. Austin says that tonight, they are going to get this thing over and done with, and they will settle the storm before WrestleMania takes place. McMahon tells Austin not to worry, and says that it will all be over soon enough. McMahon leaves ringside to his music as we fade to a commercial break. C O M M E R C I A L B R E A KWe return to see Michael Cole and Jerry 'The King' Lawler by ringside. They tell us that tonight, there will be three WrestleMania Rewind matches and they will be Batista versus Triple H from WrestleMania 21, John Cena versus Shawn Michaels from WrestleMania 23 and finally, Christian versus Chris Jericho from WrestleMania XX. We are about to have the latter match, right now! CHRIS JERICHO def. CHRISTIAN w/ EdgeA very good rematch, this time, with the alignments switched. Last time, at WrestleMania XX, Jericho was the fan favourite, and the two were battling over the beautiful Trish Stratus. However, in this rematch, Jericho is the 2010 Royal RUmble winner, and gained some more stamina, running into WrestleMania XXVI. He defeats Christian after a huge Codebreaker. After the match, Edge entered the ring and it looked as if he was about to Spear Jericho, but Jericho bailed out just in time, leaving with a smirk on his face. We then fade backstage. AUSTIN MEETS ORTONWe see Stone Cold backstage to a huge pop. He is standing alongside Santino Marella, who is quite obviously thrilled to be with him. We hear Santino apologise for his behaviour towards Austin in the past. He says "Oh, Cold Stone, honestly, I really did enjoy The Condemned, honestly...". Austin chuckles and tells Santino it's all good, before telling him to get lost. Austin is then interrupted by the WWE Champion, Randy Orton who gets tons of heat. He squares up to Austin, both men looking pretty serious. He asks Austin why he wasn't given a WrestleMania Rewind match tonight on Raw. Austin says Orton isn't worth the hassle, which gets a pop. Orton gets angry, saying he came oh so close to ending the Undertaker's Streak at WrestleMania 21 and he defeated both John Cena and Triple H for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 24. Austin pauses for a moment and then says "So you're telling me, that you would be willing to go head to head with The Undertaker... again?". The crowd cheers, but Orton stutters a bit. He says that wasn't what he was trying to tell him. We then see Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase walk into the room. Austin immediately stands between Orton and DiBiase, saying he wants them to leave it for WrestleMania. Orton leans over the shoulder of Austin and tells Legacy that he will make a statement at WrestleMania, proving that he is the greatest WWE Champion of all time. DiBiase laughs, saying that he won't be saying that after he loses the title to him. Rhodes butts in after keeping quiet for weeks on end. He says "You two go on about how you are both going to leave as the WWE Champion... what about me?". Orton shouts at Rhodes, telling him to stay out of it. Rhodes simply says "We'll see..." before leaving the room. DiBiase follows him as we fade to a promo package. We see a WrestleMania XXVI promo pacage, telling us that the event is 13 days away. We then cut to a commercial break. C O M M E R C I A L B R E A KGAIL KIM def. MARYSE via Disqualification.With these two divas competing in the Double Title match at WrestleMania, this is a mini-preview. Kim picks up a shock victory after Maryse snaps. She leaves the ring, grabs the Divas Title and smacks Kim over the skull, forcing the referee to ring the bell. Maryse continued to stomp down on Kim, ignoring the referees orders. Maryse eventually stopped with a sick smile on her face. She dropped to the canvas and got in the face of Kim. She whispered to her that she was going to become Divas Champion one way or another, in a psycho-like voice. Before she can leave, SmackDown's Womens Champion, Mickie James rushes to the ring and tells Maryse to back off from Kim, whom she'll be teaming with at WrestleMania. Maryse backs away, the smirk still on her face as Mickie checks on Kim. We then fade backstage. CENA MEETS TRIPLE HWe see John Cena roaming the corridors to a huge pop. Suddenly he bumps into Triple H who gets a pop himself. He says that he knows he and Cena never saw eye to eye, but he wants to tell him something. He says that he wants him to make sure he doesn't seriously hurt Michaels tonight, because he isn't in a stable condition mentally. Cena says he understands and promises that he will simply wrestle the match to his best ability, nothing more. He says that he ahd nothing but respect for Shawn at WrestleMania 23, and nothing has changed. Before Cena leaves, he has something to say to Triple H. He says that he wants Triple H to do the exact opposite, and don't pull any punches in the ring with Batista. Triple H says he will gladly give all he has got against Batista, because he has a bit of unfinished business with him too. Cena walks off as we see Triple H looking ready for his match. We then fade to the ring. BATISTA def. TRIPLE HThis was a great match to round off the first hour of Raw. The match went back and forth, both men wanting some energy going into their WrestleMania matches. Triple H did what he said he would, and didn't pull any punches. Triple H was about to hit the Pedigree on Batista, but suddenly, Shawn Michaels appears on the top of the stage and catches Triple H's attention. This allows Batista to wriggle out, kick Triple H in the gut and deliver a huge Batista Bomb for the victory. Batista celebrates over the downed Triple H before leaving ringside. We see Shawn Michaels looking down to the ring, staring a hole through Triple H with a blank expression. Triple H stands up and looks on, obviously pissed off as we fade to a commercial break. C O M M E R C I A L B R E A KMVP & MARK HENRY def. SHOWMIZThis non-title match features two of the four teams in the Unified Tag Team Championship match at WrestleMania. The Champions, ShowMiz and the challengers, MVP and Mark Henry. It was a rahter quick match, but the main point is that MVP got the victory over The Miz after he hit him with the Playmaker, following Mark Henry knocking Big Show from the apron. MVP and Henry celebrated their victory before leaving the ring. The Miz and the Big Show looked at each other in disappointment as we fade backstage. MR. MCMAHON IS INTERVIEWEDWe see Josh Mathews backstage with the Chairman of the WWE, Mr. McMahon. McMahon appears on screen to a lot of heat. Mathews asks him if he feels safe going into the Contract Signing and begin in the same ring as Bret Hart. McMahon says that if Hart knew what was best for him, he wouldn't touch him until WrestleMania. Mathews says that once the contract is signed, they won't be able to touch each other. McMahon nods his head and says that they will not be able to physically touch each other until the actual match at WrestleMania, which will be a Street Fight. Mathews wishes McMahon luck in his WrestleMania match. McMahon looks down at him in anger, saying he doesn't need luck and that he will defeat Hart and humiliate him in front of his family at WrestleMania. He walks off and we fade to another area backstage. SHAWN - SNAP OUT OF IT!Backstage, we see Stone Cold Steve Austin walking down a corridor, looking pretty serious. We see him barge into a locker room which has a sign on it saying 'Shawn Michaels'. The crowd pop as he walks in. He sees Shawn sitting down, staring at the floor. Austin shouts him, but he gets no response. He says "What the hell are you doing, Shawn? Costing Triple H the match against Batista, I thought you guys were still friends...". Once again, no reply. Austin gets pretty serious and pulls Shawn to his feet, staring him right in the face. The twoglare at each other before Austin says "If you're going to compete in tonight's Main Event, then I want the god damn Heartbreak Kid back!". The crowd cheer, but suddenly gasp in shock as Austin slaps Michaels across the face. He yells at him, telling him he needs to get himself sorted for WrestleMania, or he's calling it all off. Austin storms out of the room as we see a shot of Shawn's face. He seems to have suddenly come around in some way, actually looking around instead of staring blankly at the ground. His blank expression turns into a serious one as he leaves, ready for the Main Event. SHAWN MICHAELS def. JOHN CENAAn epic Main Event right here in a WrestleMania Rewind match from WrestleMania 23. Indeed, Stone Cold Steve Austin seemed to have relit the fire underneath Shawn Michaels as he went into this one with so much determination, as opposed to his recent, zombie-like self. John Cena seemed relitively pleased that Michaels was mentally back in some form. He was still a bit dazed in some parts of the match, but he was definitely much better. The match came to an end when Michaels slipped off the shoulders of Cena and hit him with a Sweet Chin Music for the victory. Afterwards, Michaels celebrated, but suddenly stopped, returning to his blank state. You could here the cheering slow down as the crowd realised Michaels slowed down. He starts hitting himself in the head, seemingly wanting to fight himself, and stop himself from dropping down to depression again. Triple H comes out to the ring and tries to help Shawn, but he shoves him away. Michaels eventually explodes, hitting Triple H with the Sweet Chin Music, sending him to the canvas. The crowd boo as Michaels leaves in frustration, occasionally turning back as if he wanted to go check on HHH. He leaves and we fade to a commercial break. C O M M E R C I A L B R E A KTHE CONTRACT SIGNINGGuest Host, Stone Cold Steve Austin makes his way to the ring to a huge pop. The ring is set up for a contract signing, featuring a table and two chairs, all placed on a black carpet. Austin enters the ring with a briefcase which he places on the desk. He opens it and pulls out a contract before putting it down. He then speaks to the WWE Universe. He says that right now, it is the contract signing between Bret Hart and Vince McMahon for their Street Fight at WrestleMania 26. Bret Hart is the first to come out, and he gets a huge pop from the crowd. He goes up to Austin and the two shake hands before Hart takes a seat on one side of the desk. We then hear the theme of Mr. McMahon to a ton of heat. He comes out and slowly enters the ring. Hart manages to stay seated, holding back his aggression towards McMahon. McMahon sits down and Austin speaks once more. He says that he wants Bret Hart to sign the contract first, and slides it over to him. Hart picks up the pen and signs away. He then aggressively slides the contract over to McMahon, ready for him to sign. Austin motions for McMahon to sign the contract. But he doesn't, he leans back in his chair and chuckles to himself. Hart looks confused, and seems to be geting more frustrated by the minute. McMahon requests the microphone from Austin, and he hands it to him. McMahon says "Bret, Bret, Bret... are you sure you want to go through with this match?". Hart nods his head, but McMahon then says "Are you sure you are willing to go through years of torture and embarrassment once again when I beat you down to a pulp at WrestleMania?". Hart looks down at the table, trying to take his mind off attacking McMahon. McMahon then leans over the table and we hear him whisper "... you deserved to be screwed...". That was it, Bret Hart lunges across the table and delivers rights and lefts to the Chairman. It was so obvious that McMahon was trying to provoke Hart, causing the contract to be broken. Austin steps in and drags Hart off. McMahon shouts "He attacked me, damnit, get that man the hell out of here!". Austin says otherwise, saying "Vince, you had that coming, but I am going to sort this out". The crowd cheer, but they haven't heard the best of it yet. Austin says "At WrestleMania, that Street Fight is going to get out of hand, so your regular official won't cut the bill, therefore, I am going to be the Special Guest Referee!". Mr. McMahon stares at Austin with his mouth open in shock. McMahon shouts "You can't do that, Austin! You can't do that!" TURNING THE TABLESOut of nowhere, Batista enters the ring and Spears Austin to the canvas to a ton of heat. He then grabs Bret Hart and throws him down. McMahon gets up, shouting at Austin and Hart. Suddenly, John Cena runs down the ramp to a huge pop. He slides in, but the double team is too much and Cena gets beat down. We hear McMahon shout "This is the last time John Cena gets involved in my business!". He then order Batista to lift him up. Batista picks Cena up and then drives him through the contract desk with a huge Spinebuster. Batista and Mr. McMahon stand tall over Bret Hart, Stone Cold and John Cena as Raw fades to a close.
