Looks like a great main event tonight, and I wonder what reaction Punker will get in his hometown. A great way to open any show is with a Chris Jericho promo, and a casket match sounds brilliant. I love Jericho's angry reaction, and that should make for an exciting encounter. Hart Dynasty over Cryme Tyme is the right move, as Cryme Tyme aren't really going anywhere, but the Hart Dynasty are. Beth finally gets her shot at Extreme Rules, but I see a screwy finish with Michelle retaining. Or maybe not. Tbh, I don't see Beth quitting, so I see a new Womens Champion coming. Makes me sad that Hawkins has become a jobber, but someone has to do it. Kozlov is working well as a face. Loved the Edge and Christian segment, especially the Big Show line. Face victory in the tag team match was cool, liked it. Jeff beats Punk, which was expected, and the aftermath worked well, built Matt's current mood well. The Cutting Edge was a great way to close the show, and I like how E&C are being used and a Ladder match is a great choice of stip. Another great show here from you!

NXT
-Very good opening contest between two of NXT's top rookies. Would've rather Gabriel won though
-Wonder why everybody laughed at the Straight Edge Society. Maybe Young goes home tonight. Anyway, good promo
-Good tag match and glad the heels won. Maybe Sheffield will get eliminated considering he lost
-Show over Bryan was obvious, but I liked that he put up a fight
-Not a fan of Slater being eliminated at all. Knew he wouldn't win, but he should've lasted longer than Sheffield at least
Good NXT, looking forward to see who you give the contract too
Smackdown
-Excellent graphic/main event
-Casket Match stipulation sounds great and I see Jericho winning since 'Taker said the loser would take an extended leave. Plus, 'Taker can lose and not look bad in that type of match
-Love the Dynasty winning and getting mic time. I'd love to see them vs. E&C soon
-Punk's promo was good stuff
-LayCool winning was good, glad Beth didn't get pinned. Surprised McCool chose the I Quit match stipulation
-Kozlov match was filler, not a fan of him as a face
-The backstage stuff with Edge & Christian was comical and realistic
-Great tag match and Benjamin pinning McIntyre was the right way to go
-Hardy/Punk is always a great match, glad it main evented and Hardy winning was the right decision
-Matt Hardy heel turn again? I like
-Great ending segment and the Ladder match stipulation should be fantastic
Great Smackdown, the best show of the week so far. Loving this diary.

- Good opening promo, casket match sounds sweet.
- Glad to see The Hart Dynasty pick up the win here.
- McCool and Layla winning is good - since Tiffany is on the other side. Kinda confused why McCool would choose that match... hm...
- Kozlov squashing Hawkins. blah.
- Seemed like a pretty nice tag match there, glad the faces won it.
- Jeff and Punk having a match is awesome, and glad Hardy won.
- I personally would of switched the Taker/Jericho promo with this, but nonetheless, ShowMiz vs E&C in a Ladder match is good.
Good Smackdown as usual.

After the whole "debate" in the WCW 2002 thread, I came over here to check out your roster layout, and I must say, the entire presentation of this diary is fantastic. The graphics are not only unique, but they're made so well. I've been skimming through the past few shows, and I've gotta say that I prefer the first layout you used. It's much easier to read, in my opinion. The only thing I'm not too keen on is the return of Jeff Hardy. Everything seems to be booked realistically, to an extent, i.e. Jeff Hardy. Good stuff, Elliot.

April 12th, 2010 - London, ENGLAND
Dark Match - Evan Bourne def. Chavo Guerrero
Mark Henry def. Zack Ryder
"Yes, sir, we promised you a great Main Event..."
CUE OPENING PACKAGE
- The pyrotechnics explode from the stage as the crowd of the United Kingdom are pumped for Monday Night Raw! Michael Cole and Jerry 'The King' Lawler are just as pumped, telling us that tonight, we have a huge Six-Man Tag Team Main Event for the UK crowd, as well as the return of the Abraham Washington Show, with the WWE Chairman, Mr. McMahon. They also give a mention to the match between Kofi Kingston and Sheamus for the Money in the Bank briefcase. We are then graced with the voice of Justin Roberts who introduces tonight's Guest Host for Raw as the star of TV spectaculars such as Baywatch and Knight Rider... David Hasselhoff!
- Hasselhoff comes down to the ring to a pop from the London crowd, arriving to the theme of Knight Rider. He waves to the crowd, slapping their hands as he walks down the ramp. He enters the ring and his kindly handed the microphone by Roberts, who then leaves the ring. Hasselhoff then begins to speak to the WWE Universe. He starts off by saying when he found out that during his UK Tour, WWE Raw was available to host, he jumped to the chance and rang Vince McMahon, asking if he could host. He says he was lucky enough to be accepted and can now run WWE Raw the way he wants to. He reveals that tonight, he has already made a blockbuster Six-Man Tag Team Main Event featuring the teams of Batista, Cody Rhodes and Ezekiel Jackson taking on John Cena, Randy Orton and Ted DiBiase. He also tells us that tonight, he has booked a special Baywatch Bikini Battle Royal to determine the #1 Contender for the Divas Championship, and will get their shot next week on Raw. Hasselhoff is about to continue, but is unfortunately interrupted by the theme of William Regal, who gets a mixed reaction, due to him being from the United Kingdom. He enters the ring and speaks to Hasselhoff.
- Regal comes out with his protege, Ezekiel Jackson, who will be in tonight's Main Event. He tells Hasselhoff that as interesting as his speech must have been, he wants his time, being in his home country, as apparently, that's what the WWE Universe want. He gets a mixed reaction, but they continue as if he was being booed. Hasselhoff says "Bill, I know you're from England, and I know you want to speak with your people, but to be honest, they want some WWE action, not your Queen of England speech." The crowd chuckle as Regal gets angry. He shouts at Hasselhoff, saying he is the mentor of the WWE's future, Ezekiel Jackson, and he demands more respect than he gets on Raw. Hasselhoff tells him that if Regal wants some respect, then perhaps he can have a match tonight, to prove himself. He says that tonight, William Regal will go head to head with MVP, later tonight. The crowd cheer as Hasselhoff leaves, waving to the fans. We then cut to a commercial break.
C O M M E R C I A L B R E A K
MONEY IN THE BANK CONTRACT - KOFI KINGSTON def. SHEAMUS; After last week, this match was pretty anticipated, and it lived up to the hype, giving us a fantastic opening contest. The match went back and forth and at one point it looked like Sheamus was going to take the contract after drilling Kingston with a huge Bicycle Kick, but Sheamus didn't have enough momentum to make the instant cover, meaning Kingston had enough time to kick out. Sheamus lifted Kingston up for the Crucifix Powerbomb, but Kingston slipped off and as Sheamus turned around, he was drilled with the Trouble In Paradise, allowing Kingston to pick up the victory. After the match Kingston celebrated his win, but it was cut short as Jack Swagger made his presence felt, attacking Kingston from behind and snatching the briefcase. Swagger held the briefcase up and Sheamus got to his feet. Swagger fled from the ring with the briefcase, and the commentators and the crowd had no idea what he was doing. Swagger left with the briefcase as Sheamus looked confused, and Kingston lay out on the canvas. We then cut backstage.
- We see David Hasselhoff backstage in his office, complete with Knight Rider and Baywatch posters on the walls. In walks Santino to a huge pop from the crowd. He is wearing a string vest and some really short, bright red shorts, with blue flip flops, obviously mimicking the original British swimwear from years ago. Hasselhoff looks at him in confusion as the fans chuckle. Santino then says "Hello, Mr. Bucannon". Hasselhoff says "Santino, I'm David Hasselhoff... Mitch Bucannon was just a character in Baywatch...". Santino looks embarrassed and apologizes, but then says that he loved him in Baywatch, and wants to know if it will ever make a return. Hasselhoff tells him no and Santino looks upset. The duo are interrupted by the Unified Tag Team Champion, The Miz and the Big Show. The Miz does his "Really?" stuff and then says "David Hasselhoff in swimming trunks?... Eww... But aside from that, you better have something planned for us tonight, 'Dave', because we need some preparation for our Extreme Rules match". Hasselhoff tells them he has already booked them a tag team match, and it is up next, so they better make their way out there, now. ShowMiz leave the room as Hasselhoff and Santino look on. We then cut to a promo package.
- We see a promo package for a WWE WrestleMania XXVI replay, airing this weekend. We then cut to a commercial break.
C O M M E R C I A L B R E A K
THE MIZ & BIG SHOW def. CHRIS MASTERS & PRIMO; Pretty much a squash match, just to get ShowMiz over. They picked apart the odd couple of Masters and Primo, finishing off the match after Big Show took Masters out with a Knockout Punch and The Miz hit Primo with the Skull Crushing Finale for the victory. After the match, they celebrated as we fade backstage.
- Backstage, the WWE Champion, Randy Orton is shown to a pop from the crowd, lacing up his boots. He is interrupted as John Cena walks in to a massive pop. Orton stands up and the two stare-off. Cena tells Orton that they have had their differences in the past, some that are unforgivable, but tonight, they need to work together to defeat the power team of Batista and Ezekiel Jackson, with Cody Rhodes on the side. Orton laughs and says that whatever their past may be, they can both agree on one thing, and that is that they don't like Batista. Cena offers a handshake to Orton and tells him that tonight they are a team, but Orton puts his title on his shoulder and walks around him before saying "Don't push it, John". We then fade back to ringside.
MVP def. WILLIAM REGAL; A great match here, more than what was expected. William Regal came out with Ezekiel Jackson, ready to show off to his home crowd, however, it all came crashing down on him when MVP took control. Regal was in control for a part of the match, but after he tried to use the brass knuckles, the referee caught him and took them from him, distracting him for a second. But the distraction was enough as when Regal turned around, MVP kicked him in the gut and then planted him with the Playmaker for the victory. MVP celebrated as Jackson helped Regal out of the ring. We then fade to a promo package.
- We see a promo package for Extreme Rules, which will air on the 25th of April, 2010. We then cut to a commercial break.
C O M M E R C I A L B R E A K
- We return to see David Hasselhoff once again in his office, and Santino is still there, sat on a chair in his swimming outfit singing 'Oh I do like to be beside the seaside' in his hilarious Italian accent. Hasselhoff is interrupted by Batista who bursts in to a huge amount of heat. Hasselhoff looks slightly intimidated. Batista shouts "What are you thinking pairing me with those two nobodies? It is MY spotlight, nobody else's! John Cena is mine!". Hasselhoff tells him to calm down, and says that Batista will get his hands on John Cena one on one at Extreme Rules, as he has been told by Mr. McMahon to announce their match, and it will be contested under No Holds Barred rules. Batista's anger turns to a smirk and he leaves the room. Santino steps up and says "What did I miss?" Hasselhoff looks at him and shakes his head before walking off. Santino is left looking confused as we fade to ringside.
BAYWATCH BIKINI BATTLE ROYAL - KELLY KELLY def. ALICIA FOX, JILLIAN, GAIL KIM, ROSA MENDES & EVE; A relatively quick match here, but it got the job done. Maryse was by ringside with her Divas Championship and insulted every single Diva, claiming they didn't have the body like her, and their bikinis are awful. However, it really wasn't about the looks, and Kelly proved that as she lasted till the end, last eliminating Alicia Fox and Gail Kim out of nowhere. The crowd cheered as Kelly celebrated in her bikini. Maryse said "Excuse me..." to Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler before entering the ring with her Divas Championship. Kelly Kelly turned around and was smacked in the skull by the Divas Title. Maryse stood tall over her opponent for next week when she will defend the Divas Championship. We then fade to a promo package.
- We see a promo package for the WWE Draft, airing on the 26th of April edition of Monday Night Raw. We then return to Raw.
- Jack Swagger is seen backstage, still holding the Money in the Bank briefcase. He enters a locker room, but he has no idea who's it is. He backs into the owner of the locker room, who just so happens to be Goldust. The crowd cheer as Goldust comes into view. He says "Ooh, it's the All-Ameri-eri-eri-eri-can American-American, Jack Swagger". Swagger gets freaked out and tries to escape the locker room, but he is surprised to see Hornswoggle stood in front of the door, still in his DX gear. Swagger says "Alright, just let me out of here..." Hornswoggle grabs his leg and Goldust snatches the Money in the Bank briefcase. Swagger falls to the floor with Hornswoggle still attached to him. Goldust hands the briefcase to Kofi Kingston who walks onto the scene chuckling. He thanks Goldust and leaves with his briefcase. Hornswoggle lets Swagger go and he flees from the room. Goldust pats Hornswoggle on the head as we fade to a commercial break.
C O M M E R C I A L B R E A K
THE ABRAHAM WASHINGTON SHOW WITH GUEST, MR. MCMAHON; Abraham Washington and Tony Atlas are in the ring, which is set up for the show. Washington thanks the UK crowd, even though they are booing him. He tells them that it feels great to be back on TV, and that Raw wasn't as good without him. He says that tonight, it is very fitting, because to make the return of the Abe Washington Show even bigger, his guest tonight is none other than the WWE Chairman himself, Mr. McMahon. Mr. McMahon comes out to a ton of heat, but the boos suddenly change into a "You Tapped Out!" chant. McMahon looks really angry at this and climbs into the ring, telling Washington to get on with it. Abe tells him to sit down and make himself at home, saying his furniture is McMahon's furniture. Washington starts things off by saying "At WrestleMania, I feel you were wrongly treated by Bret Hart, and Hart should have never been allowed to do such a thing, I found it disgraceful". McMahon says that it isn't over between him and Bret Hart. McMahon then says "As you were told earlier by our Guest Host, Batista will face John Cena in a No Holds Barred match at Extreme Rules. Well, I am officially challenging Bret Hart, to be in the corner of John Cena, as I am in the corner of Batista. And I have my own set of stipulations for that match... if John Cena loses, Bret, then you're banished from the WWE... for good!". The crowd boo, but Abraham Washington applauds. He tells McMahon that that is a brilliant idea, and he definitely believes that Batista can defeat John Cena again, saying Bret Hart doesn't deserve a place in the WWE after what he did to McMahon at WrestleMania. The duo are cut off by the theme of Bret Hart, who comes out to the top of the ramp. Mr. McMahon stands up from the couch and stares up the ramp. Hart tells him that he is fine with that, and he has faith in John, but what is in it for him? McMahon thinks for a moment, and then says that he will listen to what Hart wants to say. Hart says that if John Cena defeats Batista, then he wants in on the WWE. McMahon looks confused, and then Hart says that he wants 50% of the company, and will co-own with McMahon! The crowd go nuts and Abe Washington looks shocked. He taps McMahon on the shoulder and says "Is that such a good idea?". McMahon tells him to shutup and Abe backs off. McMahon says he is that confident, that he is willing to put that on the line if it means getting rid of Bret Hart for good. McMahon makes it official and we fade to one final commercial break as the two stare-off.
C O M M E R C I A L B R E A K
- Before the Main Event begins, Hasselhoff makes his way down to the ring. He tells the WWE Universe how much he has enjoyed the night and would like to introduce the next contest. He introduces all six competitors and then leaves as the Main Event gets underway.
BATISTA, CODY RHODES & EZEKIEL JACKSON def. JOHN CENA, RANDY ORTON & TED DIBIASE; A fantastic Main Event created by David Hasselhoff. The action went back and forth, neither team getting an obvious advantage. Batista was legal with Randy Orton at one time and the two battled it out. The crowd went nuts when Orton tagged in Cena and Cena exploded into the ring, taking it to Batista. But the action was cut short when Batista tagged in Ezekiel Jackson, who dominated (excuse the pun) John Cena. Cena walked right into the Book of Ezekiel which meant that the match was over right there, Jackson picking up the victory for his team. William Regal and Ezekiel Jackson left ringside in celebration, leaving the other five in the ring. Ted DiBiase entered the ring and stomped down on Cody Rhodes. As he turned around, Orton went for an RKO, but DiBiase shoved him over the ropes, avoiding the move. Orton and DiBiase stared through the ropes at one another. John Cena and Batista continued to brawl on the outside and Raw was forced to fade to a commercial break amidst the action.

WRESTLING OBSERVER NEWS
April 12th, 2010
- Many were wondering where Triple H was on Raw. We can reveal, thanks to a close friend of his, that he has been suffering a few neck problems recently, and has had them for a few months now. He decided to work through it in order to compete at WrestleMania and continue his storyline with Shawn Michaels, however, it seems that the nagging injuies have caught up on him and he may be missing a few tapings and house shows in the coming months, so don't expect anything new from Triple H for the moment.
- Ezekiel Jackson is apparently set for a major push following Extreme Rules. Jackson Main Evented on Raw, featuring as a member of the heel team. According to an inside source, Jackson's future has not been set in stone, and feuds with both John Cena and Triple H have been tossed around. With Triple H being out for a while, it is expected that John Cena is the most likely option, but knowing the WWE, that will probably change.
- The Money in the Bank briefcase is apparently set to be defended a lot this year. We saw Kofi Kingston succesfully defend the briefcase on Raw against Sheamus, but rumour has it that it wasn't the only defence planned. Expect a few briefcase matches to take place in the next few months, that is unless creative decide to have him cash it in before their plans get started.
- John Cena versus Batista has been officially added to the Extreme Rules card in a No Holds Barred match. Also, as we learnt on Raw, more than just pride will be at stake. If Batista wins, then Bret Hart will be banished from Raw for good by Mr. McMahon, however, if John Cena wins, then Bret Hart becomes owner of 50% of the WWE. This is already being related to the storyline years ago when Ric Flair was the kayfabe co-owner of the WWE with Vince. It is unknown how this story will play out, as we don't expect Bret to stick around too long, however, there were rumours of him managing The Hart Dynasty, so this should be a good one to watch. |

- Pretty good opening promo. Sounds like some good matches.
- Very happy to see Kingston keep the briefcase. Sheamus with it would've been horrid.
- ShowMiz squash. Masters and Primo are really nothing anymore.
- I am kind of iffy on MVP winning against Regal in England, but I am a fan of MVP, so...
- Blah, blah, blah, Baywatch Bikini stuff... fits Hasselhoff as host, I'll give you that.
- Sounds even more intense in the Batista/Cena match now. Although, I hope 'Tista wins.
- Good main event, and I am glad to see the heels pick up the win here.
Good Raw as usual.

Awesome graphic & layout. One of my favorites on the board. You call it the 'WWE Universe', too. -__- Wow, nice main event tonight, looking forward to it. Who's Bill? Knight rider & Bay watch posters, but no SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS MOVIE!?!? This is an outrage, I'm half willing to finish this reply now.  Good, Raw-like, segment. Not very funny, but Miz is in it so I don't care. Good that MizShow (I refuse to call them ShowMiz) won. Glad your using MVP. Good victory for him. Nice segment once again. Great way to announce it. Still no Spongebob poster mentioned.  Kelly Kelly winning is okay I guess. Maryse is a great heel there. Goldust handed the briefcase to Kogi Kingston? Who's that?  50% of the company!?!? That's like half of the WWE!!!!!  Good promo. Very entertaining & I could picture it like it was on TV. Great Main event. My favorite match of the night. Overall: You're good at this. I loved how you put this together. Every match seems realistic & it wouldn't shock me if these matches were on RAW. I can't wait for the Draft & Extreme Rules. The only problem is the occasional misspelling here & there. |

WWE RAW: Monday 12th April 2010...Alright, really the dark match would have been put on Superstars, as Superstars surely can't live off of only one RAW match; Evan Bourne and Chavo Guerrero in addition are no strangers to being on Superstars. Shame about Zack Ryder losing to Mark Henry; acceptable for the minute though, maybe he can get a push after the Draft. Decent promo to kick off RAW with David Hasselhoff, no problem with this, looks like a solid idea for a main event, but Ezekiel Jackson in there with Batista and Cody Rhodes is slightly strange. Anyways, plain idea with the Baywatch Bikini Battle Royal. William Regal interrupting could be a positive step for Regal; he's been neglected as of late. Regal facing MVP should be good. Anyways, decent opening contest with Kofi Kingston beating Sheamus to retain the Money in the Bank briefcase. No big deal, really; I could see this feud resuming into Extreme Rules in a gimmick match. Jack Swagger's appearance was comical, and I liked how Sheamus stood there simply confused Haha, Santino Marella's segment was funny. It's a shame that Chris Masters and Primo aren't getting anywhere anymore; anyways, good win for ShoMiz here to get themselves over on the road to their WWE Unified Tag Team Championships encounter with Edge and Christian at Extreme Rules. MVP beating William Regal isn't the best idea when Regal would be so over with the fans here in England. Not a fan of this, at all. This is first hour main event? Hmm. Slightly weak. Kelly Kelly winning the battle royal is fine, no problem with that as she could easily manage a feud with Maryse over the WWE Divas Championship. Abraham Washington's segment was great, with Vince McMahon, and the intensity with Bret Hart was great. I think this should have been on earlier in the show as a first-hour main event, though. Finally, packed six man tag team win for Batista, Cody Rhodes and Ezekiel Jackson against John Cena, Randy Orton and Ted Dibiase. Also, for the dark match afterwards, a face usually always wins those. But overall, a pretty decent show as a whole.

Interesting use of the Extreme Rules 2009 graphics. The card looks great at the moment, but two things bug me. Casket Match doesn't really say 'extreme rules' to me. I don't know why, but I don't believe it fits. Also, the Bret/Vince storyline should have been ended at WrestleMania. The rehashing of the Flair/Vince 50% ownership storyline doesn't make too much sense. I hope Kofi holds onto his MITB briefcase, gets the proper push he deserves and beats the WWE/World Champion when he cashes in. Kofi is a strong candidate to be in the MITB winner's position. A win over Sheamus is promising. A shock win for DiBiase at Extreme Rules wouldn't be a bad thing.

April 13th, 2010 - London, ENGLAND
"Yes, sir, we promised you a great Main Event..."
CUE OPENING PACKAGE
- The show opens, going straight to the ring where Matt Striker is standing along with the 6 remaining NXT Rookies and their Pros, apart from The Miz as Daniel Bryan stands alone. Striker welcomes everyone to the show and announces that we will have our third elimination tonight! The crowd cheer as the Rookies look slightly nervous. Striker says that aside from the elimination, tonight will have a special theme, and it will be a Pro theme. Tonight, there will be three tag team matches, teaming Rookie and Pro, and therefore the Rookies must put their faith in their Pros tonight. Striker says whatever animosity there is between Rookie and Pro, if any, it all has to go if they want their chance at winning tonight. Striker wishes the Rookies all the best and tells us that the opening contest will be Daniel Bryan and The Miz versus Darren Young and CM Punk. The crowd cheer as we fade to a promo package.
- We see a promo package for WWE Extreme Rules, which will air on the 25th of April, 2010 from Baltimore, MAryland. We then return to NXT.
DARREN YOUNG & CM PUNK def. DANIEL BRYAN & THE MIZ; Unlucky for Daniel Bryan, The Miz never showed up to be alongside his Rookie, obviously still punishing him, even after weeks of previous punishment. Daniel Bryan gets picked apart by Young and Punk, eventually falling victim to a Full Nelson Flapjack from Young, allowing him and Punk tpo pick up the victory. Darren Young celebrates his victory with CM Punk, Luke Gallows and Serena, all of whom are laughing at the downed Daniel Bryan. We see a shot of The Miz standing at the top of the ramp with his three title belts over his shoulders and around his waist, dressed in casual clothing. He chuckles to himself and gets heat from the crowd. We then fade to a commercial break.
C O M M E R C I A L B R E A K
- We return to see Matt Striker backstage alongside Justin Gabriel and his mentor, Matt Hardy to a huge pop. Striker tells Gabriel that he will be in the Main Event tonight, teaming with Hardy to take on David Otunga and R-Truth. He asks him how he feels about stepping into the ring with the A-List. Gabriel says he and Otunga haven't really got to know each other recently, and he believes that the best way to get to know someone in the WWE is by wrestling them, so he looks forward to the match tonight. Striker then questions Hardy, asking him if he thinks that he and Gabriel can beat Otunga and R-Truth. Hardy says that R-Truth is a great athlete, and no doubt an excellent mentor, but he believes that Gabriel has what it takes to make it all the way to the top. They walk off as we cut to the ring.
WADE BARRETT & CHRIS JERICHO def. SKIP SHEFFIELD & MVP; Chris Jericho truly believes that Wade Barrett can easily win this competition, and we're finding it very hard to argue with that. Barrett shows his true potential in this match, taking most of the match by himself. Jericho only tagged in once, and it was barely for two minutes. Wade Barrett finished the match off by hitting MVP with his Fireman's Carry Slam, defeating the Pro and edging one step closer to the top of the NXT charts! Chris Jericho raises the hand of Wade Barrett, shouting that he is the future WWE superstar. Skip Sheffield and MVP leave up the ramp in disappointment. We then cut backstage.
- We are taken to Daniel Bryan who is backstage with the physio team. He has someone checking his ribs out, and we hear them say that they are still not fully healed. The medic tells him that his ribs would have been healed three weeks after the original incident on the first NXT show, but due to constant action, they haven't had the chance to fully heal. Bryan says he blames The Miz, and he can't wait to finally get his hands on him. The Miz walks into the shot to a lot of heat, and Bryan jumps to get from the chair, but the medic holds him down, saying he must rest as much as possible. Bryan reluctantly takes a seat as The Miz smirks. He tells Bryan that the torture will all come to an end soon, not to worry. He says that as soon as NXT is finished, he won't have nothing to do with him anymore, and when he doesn't win, he can go back to his little independant shows where he belongs. Bryan says he believed he had a chance, and wanted to make it in the WWE, and he vows that he still will, with or without the help of The Miz. Miz laughs it off and leaves as Bryan relaxes back into the chair. We then fade to a promo package.
- We see a promo package for the WWE Draft, airing on the 26th April edition of Monday Night Raw. It says that 'the landscape will change one more'. We then cut to a commercial break.
C O M M E R C I A L B R E A K
- We return to see Matt Striker backstage with Darren Young and The Straight Edge Society. Striker asks Young is he is pleased with his victory, and he tells Striker that he definitely is. He also makes a shocking announcement, that this Friday on SmackDown, he will take part in the Straight Edge ritual, and become one of the Straight Edge Society member. Striker asks him if he is sure of this, and Young tells him not to question his judgment. He raises his hand, as do the Straight Edge Society, and he says that he is letting Straight Edge into his life, and vows to win NXT because of it. They walk off as we cut to the Main Event.
JUSTIN GABRIEL & MATT HARDY def. DAVID OTUNGA & R-TRUTH; A very good Main Event here, and a surprising one too. David Otunga started the match with Justin Gabriel. Otunga had tons of opportunities to tag in R-Truth, but failed to do so, which made R-Truth disappointed. Otunga was clearly claiming all the spotlight. At one point, he even shouted at R-Truth, saying "This is my time, Truth! My time!". However, his antics backfired as Matt Hardy was able to hit him with a Twist of Fate. Hardy then tagged in Gabriel and Gabriel hit the 450 Splash. R-Truth didn't even go in to break the cover, and simply shook his head as Gabriel got the three count. Justin Gabriel and Matt Hardy celebrated and then left, leaving R-Truth and David Otunga in the ring.
- Truth helped Otunga to his feet, but Otunga shoved him off, shouting "Why didn't you help me?". Truth replied, telling him "You said it was your time, and I wanted you to prove it". Otunga storms out of the ring and Truth follows. We then cut backstage for the third elimination of the season.
- Matt Striker is backstage with five of the six NXT Rookies, David Otunga is just on his way. Striker says that tonight, he has seen some impressive bouts, and says he is starting to see some breakout stars making their statements. However, he states that one of them must leave. He says that the Pros have entered their votes, and he can now reveal that the third person to be eliminated for WWE NXT is... Skip Sheffield! Sheffield sighs as he steps forward and MVP walks onto the screen. Striker asks Sheffield how he feels. Sheffield says he is obviously disappointed, but made some great friends, and he will definitely continue to watch NXT, and will be rooting for his buddies. He wishes the remaining five competitors luck as he and MVP leave the screen.
- Before we go, David Otunga storms onto the screen and snatches the microphone from Matt Striker. Otunga looks into the camera and shouts "This is my show! This is my time! I am the A-List - Mr. NXT - David Otunga, and you better respect that!". Otunga shoves the microphone back into the chest of Striker and storms off of the screen.
- Striker readjusts himself and then says "From now until next week, it will be you, the fans who vote for the next Rookie to be eliminated! So be sure to vote on the NXT Poll on WWE.com, and make sure that you keep your favourite Rookie in the game!" We then fade to a close.

WRESTLING OBSERVER NEWS
April 15th, 2010
- As of this past Tuesday night, who leaves the WWE NXT competition will be decided via public voting from now on. It seems that the WWE took out the three competitors who obviously were not going to win, and now want the public opinion on who should win. According to an inside source, multiple endings have been planned for WWE NXT, depending on who is eliminated each week, so whatever the result of the WWE Universe Poll, they will have plans further on.
- As reported many times on the site, Rob Van Dam has signed his WWE contract and is set to appear on WWE programming any time now. According to a trustworthy source, Van Dam is set to debut on the Raw brand and will most likely be entered straight into a feud. However, it is unknown who he will be fueding with, and what the story will be.
- We reported on the site a while back that Jack Swagger was in for a push in the WWE, along with Raw counterpart, Kofi Kingston. It seems that after Kingston has completed his short program with Sheamus, he will be entering a program with Jack Swagger, most likely over the Money in the Bank briefcase. We are led to believe that Sheamus will be moving onto bigger things, leaving Kingston and Swagger to feud alone. Don't expect Kingston to be cashing in any time soon, and if we're honest, don't expect Swagger to be claiming the briefcase either, unless there are some drastic changes in the creative department.
- Bret Hart and Vince McMahon will end their feud at Extreme Rules, managing their representatives, John Cena and Batista. If Batista wins, Bret Hart is banished from Raw as an on screen performer. If John Cena wins, Bret Hart claims 50% of the company, much like McMahon did with Ric Flair back in 2002. This is a subject that isn't all too obvious, what with Hart's current WWE status unknown. He could be haging on, or he could be leaving, we will have to wait until Extreme Rules. Or, in either case, there are always loopholes in the WWE which could allow Hart to appear in some shape or form, regardless of if John Cena wins or loses. |

- Nice to see the tension between Bryan/Miz still, so the other team winning is fine.
- Barrett, I hope wins this, as Bryan would be cliche to me. Glad him and Jericho won.
- Good main event, Gabriel is one of my other favorites, so glad to see them win.
- Sheffield being eliminated is good, he would of been much better then Slater previously though.
Good NXT.

WWENXT;Apr13: Rookie and Pro tag matches is a nice theme. Great touch having The Miz not turn up. A loss for Bryan was expected with the Handicap. Decent promo with the extreme duo of Gabriel and Hardy, got the point across for the main event. Wow, Barrett pinning MVP was unexpected. This loss set-sup for the elimination of Skip later. Nice promo from Bryan, I hope he does make it in the WWE. Darren Young's gonna make the pledge! Great main event with Otunga looking embarrasing as he makes a rookie mistake trying to take the match on his own. Skip Sheffield is a good choice. I wonder who the WSF will vote out!
Thanks for replying!

WWE NXT: Tuesday 13th April 2010...A pretty decent promo to kick off the show, with the NXT Rookies in the ring. Matt Striker making the proposition of three tag team matches tonight sound good. Anyways, looking forward to the concept. Darren Young and CM Punk finally bonding together to defeat Daniel Bryan without The Miz is good; and a fine win there. I did like The Miz taunting him from the rampway after the match, in addition. Next, a pretty solid tag team match, with Wade Barrett and Chris Jericho overcoming Skip Sheffield and MVP, not a bad match and I liked how Barrett defeated MVP, as it immediately gives Barrett an ego boost; perfect for him as his Pro is the ever-egotistical Jericho. Pretty intense exchange between Bryan and Miz. Lastly, a good main event tag team win for Justin Gabriel and Matt Hardy over David Otunga and R-Truth. Best decision to go here. Acceptable for Skip Sheffield to be the next Rookie dropped from the competition. Not the best show this week, but pretty vital to the series.

April 16th, 2010 - London, ENGLAND
Christian def. Mike Knox
The Hart Dynasty def. Jimmy Wang Yang & Slam Master J
"Yes, sir, we promised you a great Main Event..."
CUE OPENING PACKAGE
- The pyrotechnics explode and we are welcomed by the duo of Todd Grisham and Matt Striker who tell us that tonight, the Intercontinental Championship will be on the line in a WrestleMania rematch as Shelton Benjamin defends his title against Drew McIntyre. They are then cut off by the theme of Batista who gets tons of heat. He walks to the ring in his signature spotlight, making sure that he is the center of attention.
- Batista speaks to the WWE Universe, standing in his spotlight, telling them that this is his official last night on SmackDown, and from now on, he refuses to compete on the show until his contract is traded. He says that SmackDown provides nothing for him, and he craves the spotlight, something SmackDown cannot give him. He says he wants the ultimate WWE spotlight, and he can finally have that when he destroys John Cena for the final time at Extreme Rules. He says that he has nothing more to say to the unworthy SmackDown crowd and turns to leave, but is stopped by the theme of General Manager, Theodore Long. Long comes out to a pop and speaks to Batista. He says "Batista, as long as you are under contract with SmackDown, you will compete when I say so, playa, and tonight, I want you to compete!" The crowd cheer as Batista looks on in anger. Long says "Tonight, seeing as you claim this is your last night on SmackDown, you need a send-off match, and I have one hell of a send-off planned, playa. Tonight, you will go one-on-one with the World Heavyweight Champion - The Undertaker!". The crowd go nuts as Batista shouts up the ramp at Long. Long says "Have a great day!" and leavesthrough the curtain as his theme plays. Batista shakes the ropes in anger as we fade to a promo package.
- We see a promo package for the WWE Draft, airing on the 26th of April edition of Monday Night Raw. It will feature the superstars of Raw and SmackDown in a 3-hour spectacular. [Graphical representation]
CHRIS JERICHO def. MATT HARDY; With The Undertaker competing later tonight, it only seems fair that his Extreme Rules opponent should compete too, so Chris Jericho goes one-on-one with Matt Hardy. Hardy has tons of support from the fans, probably one of the biggest reactions of the night. However, the support of the WWE Universe wasn't enough for Hardy, and Jericho finished him off with a Codebreaker for the victory. After the match, Chris Jericho grabbed a microphone and began to speak.
- Jericho told us that at Extreme Rules, he will become the World Heavyweight Champion, after he defeats The Undertaker at his own game. He says that tonight, he will be at the commentator's desk watching Undertaker's match with Batista. He drops the microphone and we fade to a commercial break.
C O M M E R C I A L B R E A K
- We return to see CM Punk, Luke Gallows, Serena and NXT Rookie, Darren Young on their way to the ring, obviously ready for Young to pledge to the Straight Edge Society. We then cut to a promo package.
- We see a promo package for next week's Raw show when the Guest Host will be the cats of new movie, MacGruber. We then return to SmackDown.
- The Straight Edge Society and Darren Young come down the ramp to a lot of heat. Luke Gallows carries a steel chair while Serena carries the clippers. Darren Young looks slightly nervous, but ready to go through with it. They enter the ring and set up the chair as Young sits down. Punk grabs a microphone and begins to speak. He says "Here is an example of what all you people should be like. Darren Young is a young man, ready to make his life better by becoming Straight Edge. Take this man as a role model, and do what he is about to do, for I am your saviour, I can make you better than everyone else in this arena, I can make you a new person, I cna save you!". Serena hands CM Punk the clippers and both Serena and Luke Gallows place their hands on the shoulders of Darren Young as Punk speaks. He tells Young to repeat after him and goes through some ridiculous claims of Straight Edge. Young raises his hands and says he accepts Straight Edge into his life, then CM Punk moves in to shave his head. However, before Punk can get to work, the theme of Jeff Hardy hits and both Hardy and John Morrison walk onto the stage. Punk stops the process and stares at them. Morrison speaks into the microphone and says "Punk, I beat you at WrestleMania, but that doesn't mean I'm finished with you, and quite frankly, neither is Jeff. We both want to put your stupid Straight Edge Society to rest, and we're demanding a tag team match with you and Gallows, right now!" The crowd cheer as Hardy and Morrison progress towards the ring. Punk drops the clippers and the Straight Edge Society bail out as Hard and Morrison enter the ring. Punk shakes his head, telling them no. The Society back up the ramp and Punk grabs the microphone which Morrison dropped on the stage. He speaks into it saying "If you two junkies wish to take us on, then this needs to be done properly. If we face you, we want to make sure you cannot face us again, and to do that, the best place to fight would be at Extreme Rules. How about you face us at Extreme Rules in a Tables match?" The crowd cheer and Hardy and Morrison nod at each other. The Straight Edge Society leave as the crowd heavily boo and we cut to a commercial break.
C O M M E R C I A L B R E A K
BETH PHOENIX def. LOCAL COMPETITOR; A squash match at most, Phoenix dominates the Local, obviously sending a message to her Extreme Rules opponent, the Womens Champion, Michelle McCool. Phoenix finishes off the Local with the GlamSlam, picking up the victory. Phoenix celebrates as we fade backstage.
- We see Edge and Christian backstage, saying that tonight, Edge has to face both Dudebusters in a Handicap match. Christian says there is something wierd going on with that, and wonders why the match was made. Edge says he thinks The MIz and Big Show have something to do with it, but he doesn't know how. Christian says they will deal with it, and Edge will get through it. They then leave as we fade to a promo package.
- We see a promo package for Extreme Rules, airing on the 25th of April, 2010 from Baltimore, Maryland. We then return to SmackDown.
INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP - DREW MCINTYRE def. SHELTON BENJAMIN [C]; Shelton Benjamin defeated Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania XXVI to become the new Intercontinental Champion, however, it was short lived as tonight, McIntyre claimed back the gold. Benjamin was ready to give McIntyre his third defeat in the WWE< but unfortunately for him, it wasn't to be. Benjamin went for a Paydirt, but McIntyre threw him spine first into an earlier exposed turnbuckle and then followed it up with the Future Shock, picking up the victory and taking back the Intercontinental Title. After the match, Drew McIntyre celebrated, leaving Benjamin in pain as the UK crowd booed McIntyre. McIntyre left ringside with a huge smile in his face as Benjamin eventually got to his feet. He looked over the ropes in anger as we fade to a commercial break.
C O M M E R C I A L B R E A K
- We return to see Yoshi Tatsu wandering the corridors, only to bump into the new Intercontinental Champion, Drew McIntyre. McIntyre doesn't say anything, and neither does Tatsu. McIntyre then says "Well, where are my congratulations?". Tatsu just shakes his head and walks off as McIntyre chuckles. We then fade to ringside.
EDGE def. THE DUDBUSTERS via DQ; This match barely got started, and was pretty much The Dudebusters all the way. Eventually Edge managed to fight back and gain some momentum, but the momentum was cut short when out of nowhere, Curt Hawkins rushed to the ring and took out Christian who was by ringside. Hawkins then slid into the ring and attacked Edge along with Trent Barreta and Caylen Croft. Hawkins hits the Laugh Riot on Edge and then grabs a microphone, saying "I am sick and tired of been outshined by people on SmackDown, and therefore, I am announcing myself as the newest member of The Dudebusters, and together, all three of us are going to climb to the top and get what is ours!" All three men stands tall as Christian slides into the ring. The Dudebusters scatter and Christian checks on Edge. We then fade backstage.
- Josh Mathews is standing backstage along with Batista to a lot of heat. He asks Batista if he is fully prepared to take on The Undertaker up next. Batista looks at Josh and says "You can never prepare to face The Undertaker. But, if anyone can destroy him, it's me. This is only meant to be a regular match, but after what I am going to do to The Undertaker, Chris Jericho will owe me a favour!" Batista storms off as we fade to a commercial break.
C O M M E R C I A L B R E A K
THE UNDERTAKER def. BATISTA; Chris Jericho made his way to ringside to witness this one. Both Batista and The Undertaker were ready for this, and they went back and forth. At one point, it looks like Batista had control and was about to put away The Undertaker with a Batista Bomb, but Undertaker throw him overhead, dropping him to the canvas. Undertaker then delivered a Chokeslam to Batista, followed by a cover, but he kicked out. Undertaker then signalled for the end, but Jericho jumped onto the ring apron, distracting the Phenom. However, Batista ran towards Undertaker and Undertaker shifted, Batista Spearing Jericho from the apron and down to the mat. Undertaker then followed it up, delivering a Tombstone to Batista for the victory. The Undertaker celebrated as Chris Jericho got to his feet on the outside, looking angry. Batista left the ring in anger as The Undertaker taunted to the UK crowd. SmackDown then fades to a close.
