| DECEMBER 24th 2010 | SAN ANTONIO, TX. |
Kaitlyn Defeated Rosa Mendes Tyler Reks Defeated Trent Barreta Prior to the normal opening video package we see a recap of this past Sunday’s TLC pay per view, focusing on Edge becoming the new World Heavyweight Champion by defeating Kane. The pyrotechnics go off on the stage as SmackDown kicks off as we cut to our announce team of Josh Matthews, Matt Striker and the ‘voice of WWE’ Michael Cole. The three run down the events of last night’s Survivor Series before they are cut off by the music of the new World Heavyweight Champion Edge. Edge makes his way to the ring, suited out and to a big pop, being handed a microphone once he gets into the ring. First off Edge thanks the fans for standing behind him last night when he became a ten time world champion. He says that Kane was one of the toughest opponents he has ever had to face but that just like every other time in his career he saw the opportunity to win and he took it. He says that now he has the World Heavyweight Championship he has no intentions of letting it go. It is on this sentence that he is interrupted by Alberto Del Rio. Del Rio makes his way to the ring and begins telling Edge that his time in the spotlight is over because now it’s time for the age of Alberto Del Rio. He says that last night he beat Rey Mysterio so bad that he hasn’t even shown up tonight. Del Rio promptly challenges Edge to a match for the World Heavyweight Championship but Edge turns him down, saying a punk kid like Del Rio needs to prove he’s worthy. Del Rio then slaps Edge, asking if that makes him worthy but Edge says it doesn’t make him worthy, it makes him stupid before tackling Del Rio to the ground. The two brawl in the ring before Del Rio manages to slip out of the ring. We cut to commercials as Del Rio and Edge stare each other down. Commercial BreakKofi Kingston Defeated Cody Rhodes | A very entertaining match to kick off SmackDown as Kingston managed to pull back some of the momentum he lost Sunday night by pinning Rhodes following the Trouble in Paradise. |
Following the match Kofi Kingston celebrates the victory when suddenly Jack Swagger comes from behind knocking Kingston the ground. Swagger proceeds to begin working away at the leg of Kingston, eventually locking in the ankle lock on Kingston. Kingston is shown to be in extreme pain as the referee tries to break up the hold. Swagger eventually breaks the hold but the damage is done as Kingston clutches his ankle. Swagger leaves, staring back at a hurt Kingston as we head backstage. We cut to the office of our general manager Theodore Long who is in the middle of a heated conversation with Alberto Del Rio. Del Rio is complaining about Edge putting his hands on him and demands something is done. Theodore Long agrees, saying that Edge’s actions will definitely have consequences. Theodore Long then books tonight’s main event which will pit the team of Alberto Del Rio and former World Heavyweight Champion Kane against Edge and The Big Show! Del Rio can’t tell whether to be happy or angry about this announcement and so settles for storming out of the office as we head to a commercial break. Commercial BreakFollowing the commercial break we are reminded of the events of Monday’s RAW through the RAW rebound. The rebound focuses specifically on the main event, which saw Wade Barrett interrupt the match between John Cena and WWE Champion The Miz. The final shot of the video package shows Wade Barrett standing tall over John Cena. Beth Phoenix Defeated Michelle McCool | A solid diva’s match here as McCool tried to get some revenge on Beth Phoenix for putting Layla through a table Sunday Night. The match got a good amount of time and was very back and forth but eventually Beth Phoenix picked up the win with the Glam Slam. |
We cut backstage where Todd Grisham is standing by with former World Heavyweight Champion Kane. Grisham asks Kane about tonight’s main event which was announced not long ago. Kane says that Edge has something belongs to him and he doesn’t care about tonight’s tag team match, he only cares about taking back his holy grail. Kane begins ranting about how Edge doesn’t deserve to be World Heavyweight Champion and that he intends to have his rematch next week here on SmackDown. Kane pledges to rip Edge apart, leave him lifeless in the ring and without the World Heavyweight Championship. Kane storms off leaving Todd Grisham looking disturbed as we cut to commercials. Commercial BreakDrew McIntyre & Rosa Mendes Defeated Chris Masters & Kelly Kelly | We saw last week that Drew has a thing for Kelly and you could certainly see that here as he refused to lay a hand on her. The ending saw Drew accidentally send Chris Masters crashing into Kelly Kelly who fell from the apron to the floor. McIntyre connected with the Future Shock on Masters for the win. |
Following the match Drew McIntyre doesn’t celebrate the victory, completely ignoring Rosa to go check on Kelly Kelly who was still unconscious on the outside following her fall. Drew looks genuinely worried as he picks Kelly up and carries her backstage, presumably to be checked on by the medical staff as we fade to black. We head to the backstage area where Jack Swagger is heading towards the arena’s exit. Todd Grisham runs up to him and asks for a few minutes, asking Swagger why he attacked Kingston earlier tonight. Swagger says that on Sunday night Kofi Kingston cost him the chance to become the new Intercontinental Champion and that nobody takes something away from Swagger without some kind of retribution. Swagger says that now Kofi Kingston knows his place and that hopefully he’ll learn to keep his nose out of Swagger’s business. Jack Swagger walks off as we cut to commercials. Commercial BreakKaval Defeated Dolph Ziggler w/ Vickie Guerrero | Non-title action here as Ziggler faced a man who he has had dealings with in the past. In a shocking result it was Kaval who came out on top when a misunderstanding between Ziggler and Vickie allowed Kaval to connect with a huge jumping kick to the head to steal the pinfall. |
Following the match Kaval makes a quick exit, celebrating his victory on the ramp as Vickie slowly helps Ziggler to his feet. Ziggler however pushes Vickie away, shouting that this was all her fault. He grabs the Intercontinental Championship and storms to the back, leaving Vickie screaming in the ring for him to come back. A video package airs promoting the Royal Rumble, which airs on the 30th of January 2011 and will be headlined by the annual Royal Rumble match. Commercial BreakEdge & Big Show Defeated Kane & Alberto Del Rio | Tonight’s main event pitted four of SmackDown’s top stars against each other in a match with definite repercussions on the World Heavyweight title scene. A solid match with plenty of back and forth action and a solid story behind it. Edge picked up the win for his team when he connected with the Spear on Alberto Del Rio while Big Show and Kane brawled on the outside. |
Following the match Kane throws Big Show into the security barricade, taking him out, and enters the ring. Edge and Kane begin to brawl with Kane getting the advantage only for Edge to connect with a Spear out of nowhere. Kane rolls out of the ring while Edge celebrates. However the celebration is cut short at Edge turns around straight into the World Heavyweight Championship being smashed straight into his skull at the hands of Alberto Del Rio. SmackDown comes to a close with Alberto Del Rio holding the World Heavyweight Championship high above the body of Edge.

-Del Rio challenging Edge for the WHC could be an entertaining bout. Should be a good one in the tag match too. -Kofi Kingston over Cody Rhodes seems like a good start to the show; decent call either way. -Beth over McCool was a decent one either way too. -Drew McIntyre and Chris Masters could have a decent feud. A Rosa push is different too. -Kaval over Dolph was the right call to not have him look weak. Vickie loses every man she's with. -Edge and Big Show winning here was great to hype Edge's title reign. A Kane/Show feud could be nice. -Good show; lots of potential feuds here.

I really like the layout and the use of tables for matches, like the exchange between Edge and Del Rio which is a great set up for the Rumble, Kofi/Rhodes is a good way to kick off, would have prefered Rhodes win but Kofi is fine as long as you use him well, Swagger attacking is intresting I wonder where that will go, main event sounds good SD is abit lacking in main faces with Rey and Christian out, I can see what your doing with the Kane/Edge rematch next week meaning that he'll have used his rematch clause allowing Del Rio to fact Edge at the rumble clever booking (hopefully), meh at the two Divas matches in a row even if one is a mixed tag, I'm glad Swagger was interviewed to find out why he attacked him should make a good mini-feud on SD, Kaval wins with a jumping head kick? why couldn't he have followed it up with the Warriors way, Zig and Vickie spliting?, main event could have gone either way I would have gone for the heels building up Rio's future title shot and Kanes title shot next week but an Edge win showed how good of a champ he'll be, hopefully he'll have a good run, I love the easy writing which makes it simple to read, one of my favourite layed out diaries I've read recently, good luck and keep this up.

- In news regarding NXT there are currently no plans to end the show following the fourth season. Many members of the creative team, including Vince McMahon, are high on the show as it gives them a chance to introduce new talent to a mainstream audience without having to give up time on RAW or SmackDown for them. Current plans do call for the show to take some time out following the fourth season. - The WWE Championship match between The Miz and John Morrison has officially been added to the Royal Rumble card on WWE.COM, confirming that the two former tag team partners will clash over the WWE Championship at the pay per view. - The WWE website has updated it’s Royal Rumble match listing with five new superstars – the Unified Tag Team Champions Santino Marella and Vladamir Kozlov, Jack Swagger, Cody Rhodes and Tyler Reks. - Rumours in the WWE locker room say that the WWE backstage team are keeping tabs on the independent scene looking for more potential talent having seen the success of Daniel Bryan and Kaval. Two names being thrown around are Kenny King, who formerly took part in the second season of Tough Enough, and Rhett Titus. - It looks like Michael Tarver will not be returning to RAW despite having returned from an injury recently. WWE don’t want to include Tarver in the Nexus angle and can’t see any way of bringing him onto RAW without having to pair the two up in some kind of angle. Tarver is currently working down in FCW but many are calling for him to be called up to SmackDown in the coming weeks.

-Figured that Del Rio would begin a feud with Edge as that's the perfect World Heavyweight Title match going into Royal Rumble -Kofi over Rhodes is a great opener; and a Swagger/Kingston feud should be good -Beth over McCool is fine, and I hope it leads to Beth/Natalya at WrestleMania -Enjoyed the mixed tag and I'm interested in where you take the McIntyre/Kelly storyline -Kaval beating Ziggler kicks ass and I really hope Kaval takes the Intercontinental Title somewhere down the line -Good, realistic main event and I love that Del Rio stood tall to close the show
I love this layout and the show was good. Hoping this diary sticks around as I'm sure it will rock.

Monday Night RAW; 27th December 2010Primo & AJ Defeated Yoshi Tatsu & Gail Kim Mark Henry Defeated Zack Ryder Monday Night RAW kicks off with it’s usual pyrotechnics display before we are taken to the announce team of Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler and CM Punk. They run down tonight’s card reminding us that tonight we will find out just who exactly is the anonymous general manager of RAW after months of only hearing his announcements through a laptop. They are soon cut off by the music of Nexus, much to the displeasure of the WWE Universe. Wade Barrett makes his way down to the ring without the rest of Nexus, demanding a microphone before speaking. Wade Barrett says that before they jump to any assumptions, the Nexus is just as strong as ever, he’s only out here on his own because he knows nobody in the RAW locker room is stupid enough to touch him after seeing what he did to John Cena last week. Barrett proceeds to show a clip of his vicious attack on John Cena at the end of last week’s RAW. Barrett says that maybe this will finally teach Cena to stay out of his way. He is cut off by the #1 contender to the WWE Championship John Morrison who hits the ring to a big pop. Morrison tells Barrett that what he did last week was heinous and that it’s only a matter of time before Barrett and Nexus are sent packing. Barrett and Morrison begin arguing but they are both soon cut off by the WWE Champion The Miz and his protégé Alex Riley. Miz walks down to the ring slowly, telling both Morrison and Barrett that RAW is his show and that they both need to learn who is boss around here. Miz enters the ring and a tense staredown ensues between the three of them when suddenly Barrett attacks Morrison with a cheap right hand. Miz, Riley and Barrett begin triple teaming Morrison when suddenly the music of John Cena hits. Cena runs to the ring and begins taking out all three men with shoulder blocks. Morrison and Cena fight back Barrett, Miz and Riley but the numbers game soon becomes too much for them. Just as the heels seem to be triumphing Randy Orton comes out of nowhere, entering the ring and nailing Alex Riley with an RKO! Miz and Barrett quickly exit the ring when the familiar chime of the anonymous general manager goes off. Michael Cole reads out the message, which announces that while he will reveal himself later tonight the timing isn’t quite right but he does have an announcement to make. The GM announces that in tonight’s main event John Cena will team up with John Morrison and Randy Orton to take on Wade Barrett, WWE Champion The Miz and Alex Riley! The crowd go crazy at this announcement as the six superstars stare each other down as we fade to commercials. Commercial BreakWe return from the commercial to the announce team of Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler and CM Punk. They hype tonight’s main event which was just announced before being cut off by the music of Tyson Kidd as we prepare for our first match of the evening. Tyson Kidd & Jackson Andrews Defeated David Hart Smith & R-Truth | The former Hart Dynasty continues to explode in tag team action this week. It was the pure strength and ferocity of Jackson Andrews that made the difference as he put David Hart Smith down with a massive big boot allowing Kidd to get the pinfall on his former partner. |
We cut to the locker room of Nexus, where things seem to be tense; Barrett’s claim that they were stronger than ever clearly not quite true. Heath Slater is shouting about how he is meant to have a Unified Tag Team Championship match tonight but his partner Justin Gabriel hasn’t shown up yet again. Barrett tells Slater that unless Justin Gabriel shows up before the Unified Tag Team Championship match then Michael McGillicutty and Husky Harris will be taking their place in the match. Slater begins complaining but David Otunga tells him to shut up and go find Gabriel. Barrett and Otunga nod at each other as they try and hold Nexus together. Commercial BreakWe return to the backstage area where The Miz is shouting about how the general manager is trying to screw him over by booking this six man tag team main event. Riley is trying to calm Miz down as he rants on and on about how just like everybody else in this arena, just like everybody else in the WWE the general manager is jealous of him. Miz says that he’s glad the general manager is revealing himself tonight, because next week he’ll have a few choice words to say to whatever punk thinks he is running The Miz’s show. Miz storms off with Riley running after him a few seconds later as we return to ringside. A graphic reminds us that tonight live on RAW the identity of the anonymous general manager will be revealed! Melina Defeated Alicia Fox | WWE Diva’s Champion Natayla was on commentary throughout this match, scouting out potential future challengers. Melina came off looking strong, pinning Alicia Fox following the Primal Scream. |
We head to the locker room area where John Cena, Randy Orton and John Morrison are preparing for tonight’s six man tag team main event. The locker room feels tense as Cena congratulates Morrison on becoming the #1 contender, saying that he hopes he can shut The Miz up for good. Orton interrupts, warning Morrison that if he does become the WWE Champion then he shouldn’t expect anything from Orton other than an RKO. Morrison and Orton stare at each other while Cena simply says ‘Well this is fun’ as we cut to commercials. Commercial BreakWe return to the backstage area where Scott Stanford is standing by with the 2010 King of the Ring Sheamus. Stanford asks Sheamus about calling out the general manager last week and Sheamus says that he did it because he could, because he is the most powerful force on RAW. He talks about being a two time WWE Champion and how he is the 2010 King of the Ring winner. Sheamus goes on to say that he was the man who retired Triple H, who made sure that The Game will never step foot inside a WWE ring again. Sheamus declares himself WWE’s superstar of the year for 2011 and that everyone will get a preview tonight when he proves he is the man in power on RAW, not a general manager who refuses to reveal his face. Sheamus walks off as we return to ringside. #1 Contenders Match to the United States Championship | Ted DiBiase w/ Maryse Defeated Ezekial Jackson, William Regal & David Otunga | Daniel Bryan was on commentary for this one as we determined the next challenger to his United States Championship. Ezekial Jackson was dominant here bulldozing through the competition but a distraction from Maryse allowed DiBiase to throw him out of the ring and steal a pin on Regal for the win. |
We return to the locker room of Nexus where Heath Slater is arguing with Wade Barrett. Slater says that he’s been calling Justin Gabriel but that he isn’t answering his phone. Barrett says that’s too bad before telling Michael McGillicutty and Husky Harris to get to the ring, warning them not to make it two losses in a row for Nexus. Slater argues that this isn’t fair but Barrett simply tells him that if he can’t get Justin Gabriel on RAW next week, then he may as well not show up himself. Barrett starts getting ready for tonight’s main event while a stressed Heath Slater walks out as we fade to commercials. Commercial BreakWe return to the backstage area where The Bella Twins are talking about Daniel Bryan when Tyson Kidd and his bodyguard Jackson Andrews walks up to them. Kidd compliments them before saying that they should be hanging around with the future WWE Champion, not a future endeavour like Daniel Bryan. Nikki actually laughs at this while Brie looks disgusted. Nikki compliments Tyson Kidd on his victory earlier tonight and Kidd tells her that tonight was just the beginning and that soon he’ll be the most dominant force on RAW. Tyson asks Nikki what she’s doing tonight and she says nothing, to which he asks her if she wants to go grab something to eat. Shockingly she agrees and Kidd and Nikki walk off, leaving Brie looking confused and Jackson Andrews just looking awkward. He looks at Brie who looks back at him and just walks off looking disgusted with the entire situation as we return to ringside. WWE Tag Team Championship Match | Santino Marella & Vladamir Kozlov [C] w/ Tamina Defeated Michael McGillicutty & Husky Harris |
[/td][/tr][tr][td] Despite the last minute substitution this was still a chance for Nexus to take back the Unified Tag Team Championships. Santino definitely seems to be more credible now showing off some fine wrestling manoeuvres before he eventually put Harris away with the fan favourite finisher, the Cobra. [/td][/tr][/table] Following the match Tamina enters the ring to celebrate with Santino and Kozlov when suddenly they are jumped from behind by The Uso’s. Despite Tamina’s protests The Uso’s tear Santino and Kozlov apart eventually nailing them with double Samoan drops. Tamina checks on Santino, shouting at The Uso’s about why they did this. The Uso’s don’t answer, simply exiting the ring and heading backstage as we cut to commercials. Commercial BreakWe return to RAW with a promotional graphic hyping this Friday’s SmackDown huge main event between Edge and Kane for the World Heavyweight Championship. John Cena, John Morrison & Randy Orton Defeated The Miz, Wade Barrett & Alex Riley | A huge main event for the final RAW of 2010 and one that will have major ramifications as everybody looks to build up momentum ahead of the Royal Rumble. The match was given a decent amount of time and everybody got some offence in. The ending rush saw all six battle it out with Orton hitting Riley with an RKO, Barrett nailing Orton with the Wasteland, Cena connecting with the Attitude Adjustment on Barrett, Miz hitting the Skull Crushing Finale and finally Morrison connecting with the Flying Chuck and pinning Miz for a massive victory! |
Following the match John Morrison grabs the WWE Championship and stands tall in the ring, the only man left standing, as Michael Cole reminds us that after the commercial break we will finally find out who is RAW’s anonymous general manager. Commercial BreakWe return to ringside ready to finally reveal who has been running RAW from behind a laptop for the past six months. Michael Cole puts over how nobody other than the board of directors knows who it is before being cut off by the music of Sheamus. The 2010 King of the Ring makes his way down to the ring to a lot of heat. Sheamus is handed a microphone and begins repeating what he said earlier tonight, talking about his reign of dominance on RAW since debuting here in October 2009. Sheamus says that everybody has been trying to find out who the general manager is and all he had to do was threaten to leave RAW and the general manager comes out of hiding. Suddenly the familiar tone of the RAW general manager goes off and Michael Cole gets up to rad the message. The message says that while Sheamus is right, all he had to do was threaten to leave, it isn’t because he is the most important, or the best, superstar on RAW, it’s simply because if Sheamus went to SmackDown then the RAW general manager would have to follow. Everybody is confused by this but the message continues stating that the only reason our mystery man is general manager is because of Sheamus, and that now it is time to face the consequences of your actions. The crowd start to become restless as many seem to have figured out who our general manager is. The message finishes ‘And Sheamus... if you don’t like it then I’ve got two words for you... game on!’. Suddenly the music of Triple H hits as The Game makes his return to RAW for the first time since Extreme Rules! Triple H walks out onto the stage in a suit as Sheamus goes crazy in the ring. RAW comes to a close with Triple H and Sheamus staring each other down, the crowd going crazy, and CM Punk screaming ‘Triple H has returned to RAW! Triple H is the RAW general manager!’.[/center][/font]

-A plain good promo to kick off the show. A big tag main event sounds nice for tonight's show. -Kidd and Andrews are the new team and need this push more so their win is fine. -Melina's new heel push needed to give her a win tonight, so that's a good one. -Ted DiBiase becoming #1 Contender sounds great. I really hope he pulls it out here. -Hope you make something big out of Gabriel's non phone-answering situation or something. -Santino and Vladimir retaining was expected as it'd be realistic in real life. -The faces winning was the perfect ending to the show. Triple H the GM of RAW is a damn shocker. But it makes for some interesting stuff. -Good show; loved the ending.

NXT Season Four; 28th December 2010Derrick Bateman (1-2) w/ Daniel Bryan Defeated Conor O’Brien (1-1) w/ Alberto Del RioDerrick Bateman gets the victory after a tornado DDT from the second rope. There’s still tension between Bryan and Bateman while Alberto Del Rio seemed less than impressed with his rookie. The rookies took part in an obstacle course challenge where the winner gained two immunity points and the runner up one. Johnny Curtis walked away the victor, while Jacob Novak came second. Chris Masters w/ Byron Saxton Defeated Brodus Clay (2-1) w/ Ted DiBiase & MaryseBrodus Clay managed to avoid the Masterlock but a well timed distraction from Saxton gave Masters a roll-up victory. DiBiase walked off in disgust while Masters thanked Saxton for the assist. The rookies took part in the hot seat trivia challenge with a single immunity point on the line. Brodus Clay and Conor O’Brien were eliminated in the first round trying to name Royal Rumble winners. Jacob Novak exited next naming Intercontinental title winners causing an argument with Dolph Ziggler. Byron Saxton exited on WreslteMania locations while Derrick Bateman lost out on naming Tough Enough winners. Johnny Curtis walks away the victory and with the immunity point. Johnny Curtis (2-1) & R-Truth Defeated Jacob Novak (0-2) & Dolph Ziggler w/ Vickie GuerreroA solid performance by all, Johnny Curtis is still the best performer amongst the rookies while Novak works as a good heel. R-Truth ended up pinning Novak following the Axe Kick while Curtis kept Ziggler from the ring. Novak and Ziggler argue with Vickie in the middle as we go off air. NEXT WEEK...The first elimination of NXT season four is here and it’s down to you to decide who gets eliminated. Just shoot me a private message ranking the NXT rookies from 1 to 6 which will account for 50% of votes.

-Happy you let Bateman and O'Brien settle their feud. Bateman winning was good though. -Masters over Clay was the right call in my opinion as Masters is the pro. -Novak looks like he's headed for elimination. Saxton has immunity points to keep him alive. -Solid show from what I saw. Keep it up.

The opening segment was fine and served its purpose to announce the main event. I said it before but I'll say it again - that graphic is done really well for your first time, just go easy on the sharpen tool. Fine opener that help get Andrews over. I love the tension between the Nexus members. Melina beating Alicia is fine, it's just a matter of time before you pull the trigger on Melina's heel turn. Love DiBiase winning a shot at the United States Championship. I like how you're running with Nikki being the heel(er) Bella Twin. Kozlov and Santino winning was expected. Not really keen on Riley being in the main event, but it's understandable considering the lack of heel's on Raw, however, I would have preferred seeing Sheamus in Riley's spot. Triple H as the General Manager is something I'm not a fan of, to be completely honest. It's different, but I'm just not a fan of it. Except from a few things, Raw was a good show.

WWE RAW: Monday 20th December 2010...Is that AJ's in-ring debut I spy on Superstars? Nice win against Gail Kim, is she a heel, being aligned with Primo? Santino Marella and Vladimir Kozlov probably should have made RAW, really. They're a spectacle of WWE television at the moment, average win for the WWE Tag Team Champions against The Usos. Decent promo to kick off the show with John Cena running down his feud continuation with Wade Barrett, hopefully this will end relatively soon. Weak opening contest to say the least, but I am liking the layout, very quick and pleasant to read. Sheamus beating Darren Young didn't do a whole lot to me, really. Should have probably had a better opponent. Sheamus complaining was nice, but hope he doesn't actually move to SmackDown. Looking forward to the anonymous General Manager showing his face, wonder who it will finally be. Natalya beating Alicia Fox was likely, Fox has little momentum for it. I do like how Barrett powers over Nexus unfairly and dictator-like. John Morrison beating Alex Riley was best to see as it helps Morrison look credible going into the Royal Rumble WWE Championship match with The Miz. I'd have put in more Miz airtime, preferably a promo to start this feud off, because this seems like a weak and random way to reopen this deep feud. Hope we see a promo next week. Tyson Kidd and Jackson Andrews may or may not be the next decent combination, I just don't think they will get too far. Kidd beating R-Truth is fine, but R-Truth is out of action with pneumonia. Pretty sure he'd be almost sort've dying if he was involved in too much in-ring competition. Daniel Bryan and Ezekiel Jackson beating Ted Dibiase and William Regal is an enjoyable tag team match, liking the pairings, but Zeke is better on SmackDown I feel. Shame to see you not going for live SmackDown or WWE Week on USA. The Miz and John Cena had a good main event, did like the Nexus crossover with Miz, interesting nothing happened though, the no contest finish was fine. A decent fallout from TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs.
WWE NXT: Tuesday 21st December 2010...Interesting to see how you book NXT differently, hopefully you keep a realistic edge but deviate from the plain, generic scenario NXT has of 'Rookie matches' and 'Challenges'. Original idea with the arena sprint, Byron Saxton with the win is probably more realistic, he is probably the most agile member of the NXT Rookies this season. Brodius Clay I see a bit of potential in. He reminds me of a tinier Big Show, with some skill like Tazz (but not pushing it). Shame to see Byron Saxton on such a bad streak, he needs to win sometime. I feel you should have thrown in either another match, another challenge or both, really. The content you wrote for the show wouldn't have filled the hour I don't think. Dolph Ziggler winning against Johnny Curtis was heavily expected, should have let Jacob Novak handle this really. Nothing new, not quite interesting until the elimination stage appears.
WWE SmackDown: Friday 24th December 2010...Not sure about two NXT Season 3 Rookies in action on the same episode of Superstars, it's like, Kaitlyn actually belongs because she won, but she shares her in-ring debut on the same episode of Superstars as the in-ring debut of the second runner-up on the competition she won? Makes the NXT competition she won look foolish. Tyler Reks beating Trent Barreta was fine. Edge's promo was solid to kick off the show, hopefully Alberto Del Rio isn't Edge's World Heavyweight Championship competition into Royal Rumble. Wonder where Kane is. Not complaining that that feud is over, though. Kofi Kingston beating Cody Rhodes is fine, a solid opening contest. Lacking of a situation for Cody though. Jack Swagger going to hunt on Kofi was nice, but their feud is sort've boring. Doesn't appeal to me that much. Beth Phoenix beating Michelle McCool was nice, liked the continuity with no Layla around after being planted through a table. Drew McIntyre and Rosa Mendes...odd combination. Keep in mind that Rosa competed on Superstars, and that we've already seen a divas match. Could have simply gotten away with Drew McIntyre facing Chris Masters. I feel McIntyre is almost out of things for him to do here on SmackDown. There's just too many midcard heels around for him to stand out. Liked McIntyre attending to Kelly Kelly though, especially the way it happened, very sly. Kaval beating Dolph Ziggler...and Kaval isn't going anywhere in 2010. Wonder if this actually has any effect on Kaval's contention to the WWE Intercontinental Championship or not. Edge and Big Show beating Kane and Alberto Del Rio is a fine decision to close out Christmas Eve. A decent show, but the rating for this being on Christmas Eve would be low as Hell, especially taped. Wish you had gone with it being live. Also, I feel some note of Christmas being tomorrow should have been thrown in, maybe a festive stipulation or something.
WWE RAW: Monday 27th December 2010...You put November in the title. Primo and AJ beating Yoshi Tatsu and Gail Kim...can only assume that AJ is a heel, could be interesting, the company does need more heels. Maybe would have been better on SmackDown as a diva though. Mark Henry beating Zack Ryder was expected. Wade Barrett's promo, good point, I don't think I read Randy Orton's name at all last week on RAW. Seems to set up quite the packed six-man tag team main event, looking forward to this. Wonder how The Nexus and The Miz fit together though. Tyson Kidd and Jackson Andrews beating David Hart Smith and R-Truth...again, weak opening contest. They usually put on their strongest uppercard or midcard/uppercard match as the opening bout after the opening promo, or opening contest. Just to try and keep ratings peaking after the opening promo star power. I do like the hype about the anonymous General Manager being revealed tonight. Melina beating Alicia Fox...Fox really has nothing going for her. I feel you should try throw in a tag team match to protect the visibility of how weak Fox is. Or put AJ on actual RAW episodes. Fatal four-way was a bit random, but it seemed like a nice first-hour main event admittedly. Ted Dibiase better actually win this time. While I've enjoyed Daniel Bryan's WWE United States Championship reign, I feel it's time for this reign to end, before it starts hurting Dibiase's momentum too much. Also just noting, why so many superstars and divas on commentary this past week? Bit busy. Glad to see Santino Marella and Vladimir Kozlov beating Michael McGillicutty and Husky Harris, but Harris and McGillicutty have been so mistreated. They had so much potential coming into Nexus in October, and they were never the same. Such a shame. John Cena, John Morrison and Randy Orton beating The Miz, Wade Barrett and Alex Riley is a fine main event, however the Morrison pinning Miz cleanly thing reminds me of when Jeff Hardy pinned Orton cleanly and boasted about it in the build to their WWE Championship match at Royal Rumble 2008. Bit alike. Hopefully it isn't built around this. Great promo to end the show, Triple H as...General Manager? Hopefully temporarily, nice way to set up the rivalry with Sheamus. It does make some sense. A great episode to close out the year, I think.

Friday Night SmackDown; 31st December 2010- Kelly Kelly Defeated Rosa Mendes - Tyler Reks Defeated Trent Barreta Following the usual pyrotechnics display followed by the announce team of Josh Matthews, Michael Cole and Matt Striker who run down tonight’s card, headlined by a huge World Heavyweight Championship match between Edge and Kane. They are soon cut off by the music of Alberto Del Rio who makes his grand entrance to a lot of heat before making his way to the ring. Alberto Del Rio hits the ring and is handed a microphone. Del Rio begins bragging about how last week he was the one standing tall over the World Heavyweight Champion and that it is obvious that he should be the new number one contender to the World Heavyweight Championship. He goes on to mock Rey Mysterio, bragging about taking him out of action at TLC. He is soon interrupted by Big Show, who gets a good pop as he makes his way down to the ring. Del Rio begins complaining about this being his time but Big Show grabs the microphone out of his hands. He is not happy. Big Show tells Del Rio that what he did to Rey Mysterio was disgraceful but he expects nothing more from a punk like Del Rio. Big Show says that if Del Rio wants to be number one contender then he’ll have to go through him to get it. SmackDown’s general manager interrupts from the stage, saying how that is a great idea. He reminds everyone that tonight we will see a World Heavyweight Championship match and that we’ll need a challenger for the Royal Rumble. Long proceeds to book Alberto Del Rio vs. Big Show next week here on SmackDown to crown a new number one contender. Del Rio tries to attack Big Show but Show throws him out of the ring. SmackDown goes to a commercial break with the two staring each other down. Commercial BreakJack Swagger Defeated JTG | A solid opening match that saw JTG get in as much offence as he took in a very even contest. Swagger managed to grab JTG as he attempted a flying crossbody and planted him with the Gutwrench Powerbomb for the pinfall. |
Jack Swagger demands a microphone and begins bragging about his attack on Kofi Kingston last week. Swagger says that Kingston cost him the Intercontinental Championship and that Kingston denied his destiny to be a champion again. Swagger shows a clip of the attack before shouting that what he did to Kingston is the same thing he’ll do anybody who stands in his way. Swagger says Kingston was so hurt that he couldn’t even make it to SmackDown tonight and that until he learns to keep away, he’ll get the same treatment each and every week. Swagger throws the microphone to the ground as we cut to a video package. A promotional video package hypes several upcoming house shows on WWE’s ‘world tour’. They advertise a main event of Edge & Big Show vs. Kane & Alberto Del Rio as well as promising appearances by Rey Mysterio, Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler & Team Lay-Cool. Commercial BreakWe return to the show in the backstage area where Drew McIntyre is talking with a staff member when Kelly Kelly walks up to him. Kelly thanks Drew for helping her to the back last week after she took a knock in mixed tag action. Drew says that he would never let Kelly get hurt and that he only did what any good man would do. Drew asks Kelly out for a drink as thanks and Kelly says she’ll think about it before walking off. Drew stands there with a smile on his face as we return to ringside. Beth Phoenix & Kaitlyn Defeated Team Lay-Cool | A short diva’s tag team match which allowed Kaitlyn to get some ring time while letting the other Diva's do most of the work. Beth ended up getting the win when she planted Layla with the Glam Slam. |
Following the match Beth Phoenix and Kaitlyn celebrate the victory while Michelle McCool helps Layla backstage, both of them screaming that they will get Beth Phoenix. Beth exits the ring first when suddenly Kaitlyn is attacked by former NXT season 3 rookie Naomi. Noami barges Kaitlyn to the ground before nailing her with a big kick to the head which takes Kaitlyn out. Beth gets back into the ring but isn’t fast enough to stop Naomi getting away. Naomi grins as she exits through the crowd while Beth checks on a completely out of it Kaitlyn. We head to the backstage area where Kane is walking through the corridor throwing everything over as he does so. Kane screams about taking back his World Heavyweight Championship against Edge tonight, shouting how Edge will finally feel the true vengeance of the devil’s favourite Demon. Michael Cole says that it looks like Kane has finally lost it but that he will face Edge later tonight for the World Heavyweight Championship! We head to a commercial break with Kane throwing a collection of crates over as he turns a corner. Commercial BreakAlberto Del Rio Defeated Finlay | A rare appearance on SmackDown tonight for Finlay but it isn’t one he’ll want to remember. Despite this being a very good match Del Rio was always going to be the victory and he did the expected with the Rolling Armbar. |
Following the match Big Show comes out onto the stage, sarcastically clapping Alberto Del Rio. Big Show points at Del Rio, signalling that he is ready for their match next week. Del Rio shouts at Big Show to bring it on as we head backstage. We’re taken to the medical area where Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler is seen with NXT season three winner Kaitlyn, who is being checked over after the shocking attack by fellow NXT season three alumni Naomi. Ziggler shows concern for Kaitlyn, telling her that if he was out there he wouldn’t have let that happen. Kaitlyn thanks him but doesn’t sound so assured of his words. We soon hear Vickie Guerrero’s shrill shouts for Dolph and Dolph quickly excuses himself, running out of the door. Vickie quickly walks into the room looking angry and asks Kaitlyn is she has seen Dolph. Kaitlyn says no and Vickie storms of in a huff leaving Kaitlyn shaking her head as we cut to commercials. Commercial BreakWe return to the backstage area where Todd Grisham is standing by with the World Heavyweight Champion Edge. Grisham asks Edge about his first title defence tonight against Kane. Edge says that he beat Kane for the title and he has no intention of giving it back to him tonight. Edge says that Kane is a freak, a monster who needs to be taken out and if he has to be the man to do it tonight then he will. He’ll put Kane down once and for all with spear! Edge walks off, looking focused for his title defence tonight, as we return to ringside. Dolph Ziggler & Cody Rhodes Defeated Kaval & Chris Masters | Tag team action up next as the Intercontinental Champion looked to get revenge on the man who pinned him last week, Kaval. Ziggler was on the winning side but it didn’t exactly go to plan after Kaval once again took him out with a big roundhouse kick only for Rhodes to slide into the ring and connect with the Cross-Rhodes for the pinfall. |
We cut to a video package highlighting the feud between World Heavyweight Champion Edge and the monstrous Kane. Following this video package we cut to a split screen image of the backstage area as we see Edge and Kane heading towards the ring, both looking focused for the final match of 2010. Commercial BreakWorld Heavyweight Championship Match | Edge [C] Defeated Kane | A huge main event to end the final SmackDown of 2010. These two have been the focal point of SmackDown for weeks now and tonight was no different as these two were given plenty of time to put on a solid match. It was pretty back and forth throughout with plenty of near falls and close moments but in the end Kane had Edge up for the Chokeslam only for Edge to wriggle loose and quickly connect with a thunderous Spear to get the pinfall and retain the title. |
Edge is announced as the victory to a big pop from the crowd as he is handed his World Heavyweight Championship. Edge raises the title up high and is given his moment of glory, the final SmackDown of 2010 fading to black on a shot of Edge – still the World Heavyweight Champion!

- The reason behind Triple H being named as the new general manager was so that WWE can push a Triple H/ Sheamus feud without having to actually have Triple H work as a regular in ring competitor. Triple H is continuing with his behind the scene work but he is considered too big an attraction not to be featured in the build up to WrestleMania. It is expected that he will not step foot in the ring again until after the Elimination Chamber pay per view. - RAW superstar Mark Henry picked up an injury during his Superstars victory over Zack Ryder. During the match Henry put a step wrong during a powerslam which was noticeable during the match. Despite finishing the match Henry had to be helped to the back, which was not shown on the broadcast. Henry was checked over and it appears he strained his tricep. Current predictions have him out for two months, which will mean he will miss both the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania. - WWE.COM has officially announced fivenew superstars who will be participating in the Royal Rumble match. Former WWE Champions John Cena and Randy Orton plus Nexus leader Wade Barrett as well as Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler and NXT Season Two winner Kaval have all been confirmed to be competing in the match for the right to headline WrestleMania 27. - WWE officials are apparently very high on Tyson Kidd right now having been impressed by his recent heel work. Kidd is being set up as a major heel on RAW’s midcard for 2011 and his pairing up with Jackson Andrews and most recently Nikki Bella is so that his heel persona can be taken to the next level. WWE are currently looking to place him in a feud with a major babyface once his angle with David Hart Smith has run its course.

-Del Rio/Show to crown the #1 Contender is a good way to crown Del Rio/Edge as the WHC Match at RR obviously. -Swagger over JTG was the right call. -Beth on the winning side was another right call here, maybe a start for the Kaitlyn push. -Alberto Del Rio winning here was good. But a bit odd that Finlay would be here out of nowhere. -Ziggler over Rhodes over Kaval and Masters was a decent match, and the expected call here. -Edge defeating Kane was expected as now I'm sure it'll be Edge/Del Rio. Great show. -A decent show; lacked Kofi Kingston and Rey Mysterio, etc. But still not a bad show by any means.

Monday Night RAW; 3rd January 2010- David Hart Smith Defeated Primo w/ AJ- Alex Riley Defeated Darren Young An impressive pyro display hits as we are introduced to RAW by Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler. They run down last week’s huge edition of Monday Night RAW which featured the reveal of Triple H as the anonymous RAW general manager. They are quickly interrupted by the music of that man, Triple H. Triple H comes out in a black suit and makes his way to the ring, microphone in hand. It takes at least a minute for the crowd to die down enough for Triple H to talk. He begins by restating that he is indeed the RAW general manager and has been for the past six months. He says that the WWE board of directors approached him while he was out on the sidelines and asked him to take over the reins of RAW and he of course agreed. Triple H explains that he didn’t want to have to deal with some of the whiny egocentric superstars here on RAW face to face and that’s why he stayed behind a laptop, even though it pained him to have to rely on a weasel like Michael Cole, joking that every time he sent an e-mail he had to mute his tv. Triple H then states that he isn’t quite 100% yet and that he will continue to act as RAW’s general manager until he can step into the ring and destroy Sheamus. Triple H is then interrupted not by the Celtic Warrior, but by WWE Champion The Miz, who gets a lot of heat on his way to the ring. Miz tells Triple H that he needs to realise RAW is The Miz’s show and that what’s good for The Miz is what’s good for RAW. Triple H tells him to shut up and when Miz argues Triple H has his microphone cut off, infuriating Miz. Triple H states that what’s good for RAW is ratings and what better way to get people to watch than to put the WWE Championship on the line on the first RAW of 2011. Triple H announces that tonight The Miz will defend his WWE Championship against none other than Randy Orton in a falls count anywhere match! Miz is furious and begins screaming at Triple H when suddenly Randy Orton slides in behind Miz. Triple H signals for Miz to turn around and when he does he is planted by a huge RKO. RAW cuts to commercials with Triple H grinning and Randy Orton staring a whole through The Miz. Commercial BreakTyson Kidd w/ Jackson Andrews & Nikki Bella Defeated Daniel BryanWith the #1 contender Ted DiBiase at ringside Daniel Bryan had a lot to contend with throughout this match. A fantastic back and forth match ensued with Bryan fighting the odds as best as he could but eventually a distraction by Nikki allowed Jackson Andrews to interfere, levelling Bryan with a big boot and allowing Kidd to get a huge victory over the United States Champion. Following the match Tyson Kidd begins taunting Bryan when Ted DiBiase leaves the announce table and enters the ring. Kidd and DiBiase stare each other down for a few seconds before Kidd shrugs his shoulders and exits the ring. DiBiase stalks Bryan, waiting for him to get to his feet, before unleashing a vicious Dream Street on the United States Champion and screaming that the title will be around his waist soon enough. We cut backstage to the locker room of Nexus. The group still seem to be having some problems and once again there is no sign of Justin Gabriel. Barrett is shouting at them, telling them that they need to show everyone that Triple H isn’t in charge, they are. Barrett asks Heath Slater whether he has spoken to Justin Gabriel and Slater promises that Gabriel will be here tonight. Barrett says good, because Nexus are going to march to that ring later tonight united and give Justin Gabriel a choice – he’s either Nexus or he’s against them. Barrett says that people think Nexus has become weak but that they are wrong. He then tells Husky Harris that if he doesn’t win his upcoming match, he is gone from Nexus. Harris argues but Barrett just tells him to get to the ring now. We cut to commercials as Harris storms out of the locker room. Commercial BreakHusky Harris Defeated Yoshi TatsuA short match here that was really just used to push the Nexus angle further. Both men got in some decent offence but Harris ended the match looking dominant, putting Tatsu away with the Running Senton. Harris wasn’t done though, hitting Tatsu with a second Running Senton following the match as we fade to a video package. A video package airs promoting the Royal Rumble pay per view, focusing on the WWE Championship match between The Miz and John Morrison, as well the 30 man Royal Rumble match where one superstar will win a direct ticket to the main event of WrestleMania. We return backstage where Sheamus is shown arriving at the arena, looking less than pleased. He heads towards the locker room area but ends up being confronted by WWE Champion The Miz and his protégé Alex Riley. Sheamus asks Miz what he wants and Miz says he wants the same thing Sheamus wants – Triple H out of the picture. Sheamus says that he is listening but Miz says not here, saying they should talk in private. Miz, Sheamus and Riley walk off as we cut to commercials. Commercial BreakWe return to the backstage area where Tyson Kidd, Nikki Bella and Jackson Andrews are laughing about Kidd’s victory over Daniel Bryan, Kidd claiming that this should make him the number one contender. They walk straight into Nikki’s sister Brie, who asks if she can talk with Nikki privately. Nikki tells Kidd that she’ll catch him up and Kidd and Andrews walk off. Brie asks Nikki why she is hanging around with somebody like Tyson Kidd and Nikki says it’s because Kidd is a winner and she is sick of being known simply as a twin act. Brie is shocked but Nikki tells her to get over it and walks off, leaving Brie upset as we return to ringside. Melina & AJ w/ Primo Defeated Natalya & EveIt looks like AJ is in full heel mode as she made her RAW debut tonight in Diva’s tag team action. A decent match as tensions continue between Diva’s Champion Natalya and #1 Contender Melina as the pair brawled outside allowing AJ to connect with a Shining Wizard on Eve for a big victory. Primo congratulates AJ in the ring with a passionate kiss as Melina and Natalya are separated by referees. We cut to the locker room of Sheamus who is preparing for his upcoming match. RAW general manager Triple H walks into the locker room, once again getting a nice pop from the crowd but getting a less than hospitable reaction from Sheamus who is immediately on the defensive. Triple H tells him to calm down, while he’s general manager he can’t put a hand on Sheamus unless he is provoked. Triple H continues saying that doesn’t mean he can’t move Sheamus’s match up a little, telling Sheamus he better hurry up and head to the ring, because he’ll be wrestling Ezekial Jackson after the commercial break. Triple H grins before walking off leaving Sheamus looking furious as we fade to commercials. Commercial BreakEzekial Jackson Defeated Sheamus via DQSheamus looked furious as he made his entrance and he wasn’t any happier when he realised Ezekial Jackson wouldn’t be an easy opponent. A solid match between two powerhouses saw plenty of rough action before Sheamus seemed to have enough, grabbing a steel chair and planting it into Jackson’s back, causing the DQ. Sheamus continues the assault, hitting Jackson several times with the chair before throwing it down, grinning, and heading to the back. We are shown the office of RAW’s general manager Triple H as he watches Sheamus’s actions with a bemused look. The office door opens and Triple H turns around to find himself face to face with Nexus. Wade Barrett asks Triple H if he thinks he is the boss around here and Triple H says he knows he is the boss. Barrett tells him that he is wrong, that Nexus run this place and that the sooner he realises that, the happier they’ll all be. Triple H tells Barrett that he has dealt with younger punks with more talent than anybody from Nexus, and that unless they fall in line then they will find their stay on RAW very difficult. Barrett tells him that they’ll soon see who is right before directing Nexus out of the office. Commercial BreakSantino Marella & Vladamir Kozlov w/ Tamina Defeated William Regal & Zack RyderLast week the WWE Tag Team Champions were jumped by The Uso’s so it looked like they had a lot of aggression to get out as they really took it to the make shift team of Regal & Ryder who to be fair showed some good teamwork. Marella eventually connected with The Cobra on Ryder to pull off the victory. The bell has barely sounded when The Uso’s once again hit the ring. This time Marella & Kozlov seem ready for them and a wild brawl erupts. The Tag Team Champions seem to be getting the upper hand when The Uso’s both nail big clotheslines before connecting with vicious Samoan Drops. They both go up top but Tamina tries to talk them down. They barely listen to her before hitting their signature splashes. Tamina shouts at them, asking them why but The Uso’s simply push her out of their way as they leave the ring, leaving Marella & Kozlov out of it in the ring for the second week running. We cut backstage where Scott Stanford is standing by with the man who will challenge for the WWE Championship at the Royal Rumble pay per view, John Morrison. Stanford asks Morrison whether he has a preferred victor in tonight’s WWE Championship match. Morrison says that while he would love to see The Miz get his ass handed to him tonight he can’t resist wanting to be the man who takes the WWE Championship from his former tag team partner. Suddenly Morrison is jumped by Sheamus, who throws Morrison head first into a wall before nailing him with a Brogue Kick that leaves Morrison slumped on the floor. Sheamus tells Morrison that Miz sends his regards before walking off, leaving an unconscious Morrison to be checked on by medics. Commercial BreakWe return to the music of Nexus as the stable make their entrance, Wade Barrett leading David Otunga, Heath Slater, Michael McGillicutty and Husky Harris. Only Barrett enters the ring while the remaining members surround the ring. Barrett is handed a microphone and begins talking about how Nexus is only strong when they are united, and right now one member is letting them down. He calls out Justin Gabriel who makes his entrance to the Nexus music but is wearing a custom made suit. Barrett asks Gabriel what he thinks he has been doing the past two weeks and Gabriel says he’s been thinking, thinking about whether Wade Barrett has always been an egomaniac or if he’s only just realised it! Barrett is furious but offers Gabriel one final choice – he’s either Nexus or he’s against them. Gabriel seems to consider it but tells Barrett he thinks he’ll take his chances on his own from now on and prepares to leave but Barrett tells him to wait, telling him he meant what he said that anybody not with Nexus is an enemy, and that now includes Justin Gabriel. The other four Nexus members ascend to the apron while Barrett attacks Gabriel from behind. All five members of Nexus begin beating on Gabriel, although Slater looks less than happy about it. Suddenly the music of John Cena hits and the crowd go crazy as Cena rushes the ring. Nexus quickly exits, not wanting to mess with John Cena here tonight. RAW fades away with the strange scene of John Cena and Justin Gabriel standing seemingly united in the ring as Nexus retreat. We are shown a split screen view of tonight’s main event competitors heading towards the ring. The Miz defends the WWE Championship in a falls count anywhere match – next! Commercial BreakFalls Count Anywhere Match for the WWE Championship The Miz w/ Alex Riley Defeated Randy OrtonA huge main event to top off the first RAW of 2011. These two have been feuding ever since Miz cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase and took the WWE Championship from Orton. These two really went at it here, unleashing everything in their arsenal on their opponent. The fight soon went outside where Alex Riley tried to get involved but he was quickly disposed off with an RKO. Despite this it would be interference that ended this match as Sheamus jumped the security barricade and nailed Orton with a Brogue Kick as he turned around, the referee unable to do anything about it because of the match stipulation. Miz followed this up with a sickening Skull Crushing Finale on the outside before pinning Orton to retain the WWE Championship. The crowd are in a state of shock at the events of the match as Miz and Sheamus enter the ring. Miz is handed the WWE Championship and raises it in the air, before offering his hand to Sheamus. Sheamus shakes it and the two raise each other’s arms in the air, having not only just taken out Randy Orton but also John Morrison earlier tonight. The first RAW of 2011 comes to an end with the sight of WWE Champion The Miz and the 2010 King of the Ring Sheamus, standing side by side.

-A good promo for The Game. A bit cowardly that he said he didn't wanna deal with the egotistic guys but oh well. Wonder if he'll get back to action. -Tyson Kidd over Daniel Bryan could help his contention for the United States Championship. -Husky Harris over Yoshi Tatsu was fine either way. Tatsu is getting a good push so I hope you go along. -AJ winning tonight could be good. Hope she makes a run for the Divas Championship. -Jackson seemed to be dominated by that chair. Sheamus/Jackson feud could be good. -Marella and Kozlov was the right call. Nothing big to comment on here. -The Miz winning over Randy Orton was good for his reign. Interesting end to the show. -Good show.

WWE SmackDown: Friday 31st December 2010...Should be the feud-ending main event for the World Heavyweight Championship, hopefully. Edge and Kane's feud has been a massive failure. Hoping that we see Trent Barreta get a little shove and get put onto SmackDown one day soon. Alberto Del Rio's promo was good, liked the interruption by Big Show, if this was opening promo though, this match should have been planned for this week, not next. Jack Swagger beating JTG was obvious, Swagger is a potential WWE Intercontinental Champion. Hopefully he wins it shortly enough. Kelly Kelly and Drew McIntyre's storyline I have faith you will make better than in real life. Beth Phoenix and Kaitlyn beating Laycool was predictable, nice to see Kaitlyn actually in action mainly. Haven't seen her since the segment after she won NXT on SmackDown. Alberto Del Rio beating Finlay...and thus i prove my point that Big Show should have faced him tonight, not next week. Or even if this match was planned, should have been after Del Rio's promo. Decent promo from Ziggler with Kaitlyn. Dolph Ziggler and Cody Rhodes beating Kaval and Chris Masters was decent, would have been a nice first-hour main event. Edge beating Kane in a heated main event, Edge winning was obvious. Overall, an okay show, lacking card outside of the final two matches. Five matches on a SmackDown is odd to me, I don't know about booking either. What would have been first hour main event? I dunno, just wasn't digging this.
WWE RAW: Monday 3rd January 2011...David Hart Smith beating Primo is fine, as is Alex Riley and Darren Young. So, is AJ a heel since Primo is? Hope Young and Smith team up soon, that team actually has potential. Great promo from Triple H, it is just bizarre to see him as the RAW Genral Manager though. Hope to see him abuse it to face Sheamus at WrestleMania XXVII. Looking forward to the main event. Randy Orton and The Miz having air time was cool. Tyson Kidd beating Daniel Bryan, suppose it will lead to Kidd getting a WWE United States Championship shot. Hopefully Bryan retains; his reign has been getting lengthy, but if he needs to lose it to someone, it needs to be someone bigger than him. Ted DIbiase should be that man in my eyes. The Nexus promo was nice, based on analyzing each other. Husky Harris actually winning a match was great, would have been weak though. Yoshi Tatsu was the ideal choice for a superstar. Weak opening hour main event with the divas tag team action. Hm, Ezekiel Jackson and Sheamus would have done much better. Interesting finish, didn't make too much sense to me. Triple H and Wade Barrett action could be cool. Santino Marella and Vladimir Kozlov beating William Regal and Zack Ryder...unfitting tag team. Regal deserves better, and there's better heel choices than Ryder for sure. Hope Marella and Kozlov beat the Usos in their feud. I feel the Nexus promo should have been the opening hour main event, was pretty good though. Intrigued with what will happen with John Cena now. Lastly, obvious WWE Championship defense by The Miz against Randy Orton. Sheamus and John Morrison involvement was good, a new fresh main event possibility in 2011. A decent show, but I am still not so buying the booking. Also not a fan of Triple H as GM. It just pictures out as being bizarre and/or random.

NXT Season Four, Episode 5; 4th January 2011The rookie’s took part in a press up challenge in which after 30 seconds whoever has done the least number of press ups will be eliminated, the winner gaining two immunity points and the runner up two. Brodus Clay was eliminated first, followed by Jacob Novak and Conor O’Brian. Johnny Curtis came in third leaving just Byron Saxton and Derrick Bateman. In a close contest Bateman just edged ahead taking home two immunity points while Saxton got two. Conor O’Brian (2 – 1), Jacob Novak (1 – 2) & Dolph Ziggler w/ Alberto Del Rio & Vickie Guerrero Defeated Byron Saxton (0 – 3), Derrick Bateman (1 – 3) & Daniel Bryan w/ Chris MastersA big six man tag match here which was given a decent amount of time to get going. Plenty of back and forth action was only hindered by the number of competitors involved both in the ring and at ringside. In the end Ziggler pinned Saxton with the Zig Zag. The rookies took part in a power punch challenge with the winner taking two immunity points. In a close contest Brodus Clay took home the victory, leaving the immunity standings as follows: 5 Points – Johnny Curtis & Byron Saxton (Joint Immunity) 3 Immunity Points – Jacob Novak 2 Immunity Points – Brodus Clay & Derrick Bateman 0 Immunity Points – Conor O’Brian Brodus Clay (3 – 1) w/ Ted DiBiase & Maryse Defeated Johnny Curtis (2 – 2) w/ R-TruthThis wasn’t the best match we’ve seen on NXT but these two worked well together to tell a story in the ring. Curtis worked hard to try and topple the mammoth Brodus Clay but in the end a running splash put an end to this match. It was finally time for the first elimination of NXT Season 4. With all the rookies in the ring Matt Striker announced the voting has been fierce, but that the standings have been finalised. Coming in first – Johnny Curtis! Curtis seemed pretty pleased but didn’t allow himself to show too much emotion. In second place was Brodus Clay, who shut seemed angry that he hadn’t claimed the top stop. Derrick Bateman took the top stop and seemed thrilled. Byron Saxton came in fourth, looking less than pleased with himself. It was now down to just Conor O’Brian and Jacob Novak and it was announced that Novak took fifth meaning Conor O’Brian is NXT Season Four’s first elimination! Matt Striker asks for a few words and O’Brian pledges that this isn’t the last the WWE Universe has seen of him. He goes to shake his pro Alberto Del Rio's hand but Del Rio shakes his head in disgust and walks away. NXT comes to a close with Conor O'Brien leaving the arena for the last time.

WWE NXT: Tuesday 4th January 2011...This is the fifth episode of Season 4? I feel like Derrick Bateman winning the Press Up Challenge was the best decision, right runner up to choose with Byron Saxton, too. I could see this running down to Saxton and Bateman in the finals of NXT to be honest. Nice six-man tag team match to open the show in the ring, Connor O'Brien, Jacob Novak and Dolph Ziggler winning was the right decision, nice pairings too. Ziggler pinning Saxton was iffy though. They work well as a team to me. I hope Novak gets better treated in this season. Happy that Brodus Clay actually wins, I hope Clay gets plenty of offense in this, he's such a powerhouse, he's the man I'm most impressed with next to Saxton and Bateman. I feel the show needed another match, to be honest. Brodus Clay beating Johnny Curtis is fine. I personally didn't like O'Brien as much as anybody else in the competition, the right man eliminated in my mind. This elimination was made obvious though, the way you've depushed him. Making it too obvious in my mind. An eventful episode though.
