WWE 10-11: RAW [January 31st, 2011]

First time reading this sim got to say i like what you got going on here.
Zigger and Cody Rhodes good team. Like that they hold the straps. Good match to kick off the show. Liked the end of Shamus and Mysterio. Shaemus coming out on top was ok I'm just not much of a Shaemus guy. Bastista is in line for a title shot thats cool. Helms as Crusieweight Champion is awesome glad to see your using Gregory and have the Crusieweight Championship back in action. Dibiase over Edge is putting him over big time. Love the fact that he is the King of the Ring. The Miz retaining is good. I always liked Miz as the US Champion. Cena over Swagger and Jericho i would rather see Swagger because of my hate for Cena. Randy Orton over CM Punk great match loved the end. Orton as champion i can dig that. Great show with good booking cant wait for more.

- Jeff Hardy on Superstars? Against Zack Ryder? Not liking that too much.
- Glad that Big Zeke won and that's a pretty big win against Mysterio.
- Bourne defending his briefcase again? I can sense him loosing it.
- Nice to see Orton and Bourne standing tall, I don't see Orton celebrating with Bourne though, he'd probably just walk off.
- Hart Dynasty vs Rhodes and Ziggler should be a good match.
- Basic Diva Match. Melina winning is meh.
- Sheamus winning is meh, I would have rather have Orton win the match and let Batista get the post-match beatdown. But, glad Batista stood tall to end Raw.

Jeff Hardy vs. Zack Ryder on Superstars? I'm fine with putting bigger stars on Superstars on the odd occasion, but not when they're against guys who are Superstars regulars. Zeke over Rey is fine, props for putting Zeke over. Liking the Bourne/Miz feud and how you kept both men strong by having the match end in a No Contest. Don't like Batista being so low on the card when he will be main eventing (or semi-main eventing) the PPV. Hart Dynasty over Rhodes and Ziggler is fine, just wish you didn't do it so close to Bragging Rights where they will face off again. Decent Diva's match. You noted Maryse as being on commentary aswell as in the match, though. Would have liked Orton to go over and Batista attack afterwards, but whatever. All in all, it was a decent show.

-Thanks for the reply to Raw.
-idk why, but I'm not quite fond of this layout.
-Punk/HHH seems good, the stip is very realistic. Nice job.
-Zeke over Mysterio clean? Boy, I hope Zeke is getting pushed, or Rey is gonna go down hill
-Batista coming out during Evan's promo is well, random.
-Kinda expected Batista to win here, but I see you're pushing Evan. -The match probably would have ended in a DQ I think.
-Orton with the save is fine, I expect to see a tag match next week. lol
-I hope to see The Harts take the title sooner rather than later.
-Melina def. Maryse
Divas Champion Maryse was on commentary for this one.
-Well, looks like Maryse has been taking lessons from Booker T.
-Sheamus winning with the help of Batista is decent.
-Wait, where's Punk/HHH? When is that going to happen?

WWE Friday Night SmackDown l October 15th, 2010 l “Supremacy”

-A promo hypes Jack Swagger screwing Edge to win the Battle Royal and become #1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Title, one last try, at Bragging Rights.

The usual pyrotechnics hit the stage before our camera pans over to Jim Ross and Matt Striker welcome us to Friday Night SmackDown. They hype John Cena and Jack Swagger scheduled to play "Pick Your Poison" starting with Jack Swagger tonight, Cena has planned for Jack Swagger to face Christian. As well as tonight's expected invasion of Team RAW as well as Edge vs. Ted DiBiase in a No Mercy Rematch.

Chris Jericho makes his way out to the ring, sporting his usual suit followed by Team SmackDown. He blocks out the heat and begins to speak, first starting off saying that last year at Bragging Rights, none other than himself captained Team SmackDown, and with no problem at all, Team SmackDown reigned supreme, with himself getting the pin. Jericho begins to keep going, but is cut off by RAW's "Big Red Monster" Kane! Kane gets a good reaction, coming out with Team RAW. They all stand face to face here. Kane reminds Jericho that he and Jericho showed co-captainship of Team SmackDown, so he was only second leader of the team. Jericho tells Kane that he had a nice label as co-captain despite standing on the apron the whole match watching Jericho, the top dog of the team do all the work, he follows that up saying that the RAW brand should consider themselves unlucky they didn't end up with him. Jeff Hardy takes the microphone from Kane, saying that Chris Jericho has nerve to talk, more than half of Team RAW have a pinfall victory over Chris Jericho. Jericho claims he's done talking. And his right-hand man, Wade Barrett will face and defeat one of RAW's superstars next on SmackDown.

Commercial Break
--------------------

Jeff Hardy def. Wade Barrett via disqualification

The crowd was somewhat pumped to see Jeff Hardy fight a match on Friday Nights. Hardy is arguably WWE's most popular superstar which really gave Barrett some excellent pop. He worked over Hardy's leg, which could stop any of Hardy's effective moves. Hardy called for the Whisper in the Wind, but Hardy would tweak his knee on the turnbuckle. Barrett nails the rope-hung neckbreaker. It took a while for Hardy to mount a comeback, but he did nail the Twist of Fate and eventually called for the Swanton Bomb. Jericho hopped on the apron and pushed him off, the referee calling for the bell.

The brawl started and it was very hard to keep track of everything. Team SmackDown would eventually reign supreme due to the six-on-seven. Team SmackDown in the ring, Team RAW outside the ring, a staredown through the ropes would go on as we head backstage.

Todd Grisham is standing by with the "Rated R Superstar" Edge. Grisham asks Edge how crucial revenge on Ted DiBiase is tonight. Edge reminds us back at No Mercy, how he was screwed and cheated and eventually lost. Edge says that DiBiase is much like the old him from say, 2006. He'd take every opportunity he could get. But some took offense to that, and how, when Edge stands in the opposite corner of Ted, he had better not put his guard down because one spear is all it takes. Edge walks off to a huge pop.

A promo hypes WWE Bragging Rights. Which airs on October 24th, 2010.

We come back, and SmackDown's theme song is playing. Jim Ross and Matt Striker promote the card for Bragging Rights which is the final card. We head to our next Divas Match.

Beth Phoenix and Lay-Cool def. Kelly Kelly, Gail Kim, and Tiffany

A decent women's bout for their standards. This match saw the three divas representing Team SmackDown, Beth and Lay-Cool against three of SmackDown's other divas. But the starting three definitely went over the second string here, Beth put away Kim with the Glam Slam to end this one.

After the match, Beth Phoenix says something to Michelle and Layla, and hurries off up the ramp. Layla and McCool look slightly confused at that remark, but shrug and celebrate their victory.

Christian is shown backstage, jumping up and down, getting ready for his match later tonight. John Cena makes his way in, saying that tonight, he hopes Christian can shut up Jack Swagger. He then tells Christian to save some of Swagger for Cena at Bragging Rights. Christian says he'll make sure of that, but in return, he wants a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship. Christian and Cena shake hands, as Christian walks off.

Edge def. Ted DiBiase in a No Mercy Rematch

It's not usual that matches go this long, these two had a major score to settle and did so. This match was better than their No Mercy one, which was also good. They battled extremely back and forth for a good 14-15 minutes. They both hit their signature moves but failed to hit their finishers, Ted jumping on Edge's and rolling him up with his feet on the ropes for the two. Edge came back with the Edge 'O' Matic for the two count. Edge called for the Edgecution, the second of night, Ted blocked slid behind him and nailed the Dream Street. Shockingly, he'd only get a two count. He argued with the referee for a moment. He lifted Edge to his feet, regaining focus. Edge pushed him back, DiBiase ran back into a hard Spear, Edge hooking both legs to secure a victory.

"Rated R Superstar" Edge has finally settled the score with Ted DiBiase. The commentators put over how it's now at 1-1 so this feud is far from over.

Backstage, we see Unified Tag Team Champions, Cody Rhodes and Dolph Ziggler. Todd Grisham asks them how they feel at having to face Hart Dynasty for the Unified Tag Team Championships again. Rhodes starts off this segment saying that he finds it as a conspiracy that they have to face Hart Dynasty again, a team not even in their league. Ziggler comes in saying that if Hart Dynasty want the champions, they can come and lose to them again anytime they want. Because all that means is more wins for their team. Rhodes and Ziggler walk off, and coming up next, Ziggler, MVP Rhodes, and McIntyre face Hart Dynasty, Kofi, and John Morrison next on SmackDown!

Hart Dynasty, Kofi Kingston, and John Morrison def. Cody Rhodes, Dolph Ziggler, MVP, and Drew McIntyre

[/color] An awesome match between eight of WWE's best young talents, all with their future ahead. Alot of fresh moves had this match going well and it looked to be over at many times, Tyson Kidd was thrown to the outside by Smith onto the champions, Rhodes and Ziggler, MVP threw Kidd over the ropes and Smith hits him with the Running Powerslam. Smith and Kingston go battle the heels, Kofi taking out McIntyre with the SOS. Morrison and MVP, the legal men, were the last in the ring, MVP was out from Smith's finisher so Morrison did the honors of winning this match for his team, via Starship Pain.

Morrison, Kingston, and Hart Dynasty celebrate in what didn't seem cluttered, but very exciting match.

And now we head to the backstage area where Christian and Jack Swagger are preparing for the main event match which happens to be next!



Another promo hypes WWE Bragging Rights, again, airing on October 24th, 2010.

Jack Swagger def. Christian

These two battled over the ECW Championship in early-mid 2009. Christian seemed to have the advantage, Swagger was looking at Cena constantly, playing mind games and showing him what he was capable of, but Christian's veteran moves and quickness really made Swagger think about that. Christian called for the Killswitch, Swagger pushed him into the ropes where the referee was and he was smashed. Swagger would hit Christian with a eye rake and the Gutwrench Powerbomb. He would also get his first win over Christian.

John Cena hurries into the ring, he turns Swagger around and nails him with the Attitude Adjustment. The final picture shown is John Cena standing tall over his Bragging Rights challenger, the World Title high, the screen goes black.[/font]

WWE SmackDown: Friday 15th October 2010...Chris Jericho's promo was a nice way to introduce us to SmackDown, just basically promoting the Bragging Rights match, was interesting for Kane of all participants to interrupt him. Glad to see Jeff Hardy follow up though. Wade Barrett being sent onto Hardy was nice, a decent opening contest with the generic finish where we have the RAW vs SmackDown team competition element introduced. I just hope we see some mixed up ideas here. Beth Phoenix and Laycool representing Team SmackDown for the Divas, I'm looking quite forward to what we have here, it's an interesting position for Phoenix. Easy win for them against Kelly Kelly, Gail Kim and Tiffany though. Edge beating Ted Dibiase is a fine first-hour main event, no problem there. The right man won. Fact is, the feud isn't quite interesting me. The Hart Dynasty, Kofi Kingston and John Morrison is a fine team, even though the Hart Dynasty are randomly placed. Good teams too, Cody Rhodes, Dolph Ziggler, MVP and Drew McIntyre can all show potential. It would be great too, but this would have been crammed into a rushjob. There's just been too much multi-man action on this episode. Jack Swagger and Christian is a weak main event to the show for me, good interaction with John Cena. Overall, an average episode of SmackDown. Nothing new, just all progression for Bragging Rights.
