Really good start to the show. Nice to see Hart will be a trainer in Tough Enough - great decision, too. Interesting to have the whole Sheamus thing going on. It's obvious he'll face Bryan at Mania, though, and I'm glad you gave Bryan and Hart the win. Fine with Truth going in over Regal. Makes the most sense with him being more popular and more fit at this time. Best decision to have Orton go over McGillicutty and I love the attack from Punk. Not even sure who will win at the event. Nice to see you're keeping Rhodes on air with the suspension from Smackdown. Hope when he shows up next week he gets some involvement with Rey, possibly? Decent little divas match and I actually really like the idea of a gauntlet match for Laycool to deal with. Sounds actually a little entertaining. DiBiase and Khali would be so boring. But I am glad you gave DiBiase the victory as Khali in Money In The Bank would of been horrendous. Good promo from Triple H on The Undertaker. Definitely shows a point of him knowing what HBK did wrong and what he can do. Quite obvious 'Taker will win at Mania, but the point in these Taker-Mania feuds is to make it as convincing sounding as possible that they actually have a shot. Obvious victory with Cena over Riley. Though I would of loved a screwy finish just because. Anyway, nice to see Cole getting Cena out of there and I really don't think that's from the General Manager unless it is him all along. Ha. Really, really great ending to the show and I love that Cole got put through the table. A good show overall.

The opening segment, involving Sheamus and Bret Hart was great. I'd love to see Bret and Daniel Bryan form a bond heading into WrestleMania. Glad Bryan and Bret won as well. R-Truth in MITB sucks to me as I hate him, but MITB does seem to need guys like him this year. Orton winning was obvious and I like how Punk accepted the match. I always enjoy Punk calling him Randall. The Edge/Christian segment was solid. Loved the Rhodes promo, it was excellent. A LayCool gauntlet match is interesting for sure. Ted Dibiase qualifying for MITB is decent, better than Khali. Khali kissing Maryse was a nice touch. Cena beating Riley was obvious. Fantastic final segment, loved how you integrated Miz & Cena into the Cole/Lawler signing. Great stuff as usual Chaz.

Looking forward to this week's SD. Hoping his partner is Kane.

Smackdown kicks off with a huge pyro-technics display as the camera pans around the Toyota Center. Josh Mathews and Booker T welcome us to tonight's edition of Smackdown, hyping the revelation of Big Show's partner for his WrestleMania bout with The Corre. Also tonight, Kofi Kingston will defend his Intercontinental Championship against the man who brutally assaulted him last week, Drew McIntyre. And, we'll be hearing from Rey Mysterio live at his home following the attack he suffered at the hands of Cody Rhodes.
We begin the show with the introduction of Alberto Del Rio by his personal ring announcer, Ricardo Rodriguez. Del Rio enters in a flash new car and to a lot of fanfare. The winner of NXT Season 4, Brodus Clay, emerges onto the stage too, and follows Del Rio to the ring for his promo. Del Rio addresses Teddy Long's decision to include Christian in the World Heavyweight Title match at WrestleMania, which Del Rio says is "stupidity at its finest". Del Rio claims all Long is doing is trying to avoid destiny, but that is impossible. Destiny cannot be avoided, destiny cannot be stopped or rewritten. Destiny is Alberto Del Rio becoming the greatest World Heavyweight Champion in sports-entertainment history. The Mexican Aristocrat moves onto the behemoth looming behind him. Del Rio states that last week, his NXT Rookie Brodus Clay mowed down the competition to win the Fourth Season of the show and earn himself and Del Rio a shot at the WWE Tag Team Championship, which he says will be theres following WrestleMania. However, until then, he wants Clay to gain some experience on his new home on Smackdown, and what better experience then ripping apart the World Champion Edge tonight! If Edge has the guts, he will come and take this challenge right here and now! Sure enough, the Rated R Superstar comes out dressed in ring gear, with a referee sprinting past him to the ring. We have an impromptu match to kick off Smackdown!
World Heavyweight Champion Edge defeats Brodus Clay (with Alberto Del Rio) with the Spear.
Alberto Del Rio tries to attack Edge after the match, wielding a steel chair, but he is cut off by Christian, who throws him into the ring-post. Edge acknowledges the save with a nod. Del Rio backs off, clutching his shoudler. He challenges Christian to a rematch from last week's Smackdown, this time with no interferences. Captain Charisma accepts!
WWE Did You Know - WWE's Facebook network grew by 595% in 2010!
A graphic hypes the LayCool Gauntlet at WrestleMania, announced on RAW, in which Michelle McCool and Layla will take on every WWE Diva!
Michelle McCool and Layla make their way to the ring to a chorus of boos. They mock the fans as the enter the ring, taking a mic. McCool says that they think the whole "LayCool Gauntlet" concept is a "farce" and the reasoning for it. Why should they need to prove their worth when evidently they are the most "flawless" Divas in WWE history. The only thing they should be doing is challenging for the Divas Championship. Layla takes the mic, and says that there is nothing for them by competing in this match and refuse to take part.
Michelle McCool (with Layla) defeats Kaitlyn with the Faithbreaker.
Backstage, The Corre are discussing what awaits them later tonight. Gabriel and Slater seem slightly concerned that Big Show can pick whoever he wants to be his partner, but Barrett reminds him that they are a unit, whilst Big Show and his partner have no experience and pose no threat.
We're shown a video of the attack Cody Rhodes inflicted on Rey Mysterio last week on Smackdown.
We're live in the home of Rey Mysterio, with bruising visible underneath his mask. Mathews and Booker conduct the interview, asking questions to the Master of the 619 regarding Cody Rhodes and his challenge. Mysterio says he is accepting the challenge, and will gain revenge on Rhodes for what he did to him. Mysterio says Rhodes is a coward and doesn't deserve to be a member of the WWE roster. Suddenly, Mysterio is booted in the head. Cody Rhodes has invaded his home! Rhodes begins beating the holy hell out of Mysterio, even breaking the wooden chair Mysterio was sitting on over his back. Mysterio cries out in pain as Rhodes kneels over him, telling him he's taken away his modelling career, his handsome good looks, he's taken Smackdown away from him for 2 weeks. He may as well take his mind too. He leaves as the camera crew tend to Mysterio, again dismantled by Rhodes.
A graphic shows us that after the break, Kofi Kingston defends the Intercontinental Championship against Drew McIntyre.
We see a video replay of what happened before the break. Cody Rhodes invaded the home of Rey Mysterio and yet again viciously assaulted him.
Teddy Long appears on the titantron, standing in front of the WWE logo. Long is adament that he will NOT sanction any match between Rey Mysterio and Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania until Mysterio is physically able, and until Rhodes undergoes psychological evaluation.
Drew McIntyre defeats Kofi Kingston with the Future Shock DDT to capture the WWE Intercontinental Championship.
McIntyre dodged Trouble In Paradise, and nailed his own finisher to put Kofi away and begin his second reign as Intercontinental Champion.
A video package is seen for the WWE Hall of Fame 2011 Induction Ceremony, taking place the night before WrestleMania. The ceremony can be seen Monday April 4 on USA before RAW airs.
A video airs for the Money in the Bank Ladder Match at WrestleMania, and how all the participants so far had qualified.
Kane defeats Yoshi Tatsu with a Chokeslam in a squash match to qualify for the Money in the Bank Ladder Match.
The RAW Rebound airs, focusing mainly on Triple H's promo directed towards The Undertaker, the main event between John Cena and Alex Riley, Cena's ejection from the arena, and the finale of the show where Michael Cole went through a table thanks to The Rock.
Jack Swagger defeats Evan Bourne with the Ankle Lock.
A graphic hypes our main event, which sees both challengers for Edge's World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania collide yet again. It's Christian vs. Alberto Del Rio!
A commercial airs for WWE All Stars, available on March 29 for Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, PSP and Playstation 3.
A replay is shown of The Rock's return to RAW this past Monday, to oversee the contract signing between Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler for their match at WrestleMania. The night saw Rock put Cole through a table, as well as sending The Miz flying from the ring!
A graphic shows that Michael Cole will appear on RAW to announce stipulations set in the contract for his match with Lawler that weren't announced. Also, another graphic announces that WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2011 inductee Shawn Michaels will be the RAW Guest Host when it rolls into St. Louis this Monday!
The Corre hit the ring, forming a line on the stage, symbolising their equality. They head to the ring, where Barrett assumes position with a microphone. Barrett slams the WWE Universe for believing in Big Show and his crock of a partner, whoever it may be. Anybody who aligns themselves with Show is an idiot and deserves the beating they have coming to them. Big Show's theme music hits, and the giant makes his way out with a huge smile on his face. Show admits that he hasn't got a great track record when it comes to WrestleMania, but he guarantees that this year is his year. He and his partner will make an example out of The Corre and teach them the respect that they lack. He introduces his partner and Wade Barrett's opponent for tonight.. Big Daddy Cool, Diesel!
Diesel (with Big Show) defeats Wade Barrett (with Ezekiel Jackson, Justin Gabriel and Heath Slater) via disqualification when the rest of The Corre interfered.
The Corre jumps Diesel, but he swats them away with the help of Big Show. They capture a lone Heath Slater, and he takes both a devastating Chokeslam and a Jacknife Powerbomb! Diesel and Show signal their intentions to become WWE Tag Team Champions as a seriously worried-looking Corre retreat.
A graphic hypes our main event, which sees both challengers for Edge's World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania collide yet again. It's Christian vs. Alberto Del Rio! It's next!
A graphic hypes the WrestleMania bout between Edge, Alberto Del Rio and Christian for the World Heavyweight Championship.
Alberto Del Rio defeats Christian with the Rolling Arm Bar.
Following the match, Del Rio refuses to let go of the hold. Christian writhes in pain. Edge speeds down the aisle, but is cut off by Brodus Clay. Clay throws Edge head-first into the steel stairs. Del Rio continues to apply his finisher to Captain Charisma. Brodus Clay and Ricardo Rodriguez join him in the ring, raising his hands as Smackdown concludes.

Really, really productive show leading into WrestleMania!
I am loving how you're using Del Rio in this diary. He is a legit star and I just wish he was booked as being this strong in real WWE programming. I cannot wait for the Triple Threat at WrestleMania.
This Rhodes/Mysterio feud is getting intense! It's like you're making all the real life feuds better tenfold. I hope Rhodes continues to cement himself as a future World Champion, because the kid has so much potential.
Drew McIntyre has kind of hit a plateau lately, so I'm glad that he's got a kickstart by winning the IC Title. Smart booking.

Great promo from Del Rio to start things off. I really like how you're building up the whole destiny thing. Good way to make the main event match tonight, as well. Rhodes attacking Mysterio in his house builds incredible heat for the fued, really good stuff there! Kofi losing the title is disappointing, tbh, but hopefully you still handle him well. Michaels guest hosting in STL? Really excited to see what he does on that show, especially with HHH and Taker if he's there. Diesel being Show's partner really has a wrestlemania feel to it, real happy to see that you found a way to get him on tv. I also like only on member taking the finishers, more than one would have weakened the Corre. The main event made Del Rio look like a legit threat, keep this up man. You've got a good one.

WWE SmackDown: Friday 11th March 2011...Alberto Del Rio in the ring first was cool, nice involvement with Brodus Clay also, noting how he won NXT Season Four is great. I'm looking forward to Edge facing Clay, but it seems likely that Brodus won't be winning tonight. Which would be a shame since Brodus needs a win in his SmackDown debut. Edge beating Brodus Clay was expected, good set up for Christian to face Del Rio tonight. I'm intrigued how the Laycool Gauntlet goes at WrestleMania; it's a really random match that I doubt will contribute too much to anything. Wonder if Trish Stratus will be involved. Michelle McCool beating Kaitlyn is fine. Rey Mysterio at home is good, but again with these live satellite promos; it's like The Rock's pre-taped live satellite skits. Did love Cody Rhodes assaulting Rey in his own home. Drew McIntyre deserves the WWE Intercontinental Championship this time around, Kofi Kingston was a poor champion. So predictable that Kane would beat Yoshi Tatsu, I miss the days of unpredictable qualifying matches to things like the Money in the Bank. Jack Swagger beating Evan Bourne is fine, not too bad at all. Not like anything special will happen with Bourne in the near future. The Corre's promo was good, do like the return of Diesel. Obvious win for Diesel against Wade Barrett in a fine main event. Del Rio should have lost to Christian in my mind. Overall, it was a good show, I don't mind who takes the World Heavyweight Championship honestly.

Smackdown
Basic promo to kick off Smackdown, nothing much I can really comment on. Edge winning was obvious, but it was also the best decision, plus it gives Edge something to do while Christian and Del Rio face off again. Simple, yet effective Laycool and same thing can be said at McCool's win, good booking there. Damn, the home invasion by Rhodes was great, and can really put him over as a great heel. I could see him being a World Champion in the diary, but hopefully you decide to give him the IC strap first. That would be perfect, and maybe he can even pull a Dolph Ziggler after he loses it? It seems like something he could do. Well, scratch that idea, as Drew wins the title. Nice win for Drew I suppose, but isn't it his third title reign? No biggie, takes nothing away from the show, Drew is a better champion then Kofi, in my book. Kane qualifying for Money in the Bank is good, but I don't see him winning. Good win for Smackdown, but isn't Bourne on Raw? Doesn't really matter, this happens all the time during this time of the year. I saw Diesel being Show's partner ever since you started the storyline a few weeks ago, maybe I would've added someone else, or two more people to the team, as Big Show will get the most ring time at Mania, and Zeke and Wade are probably the only two he can work well with. Oh, didn't realize it was for the tag titles. I don't think Diesel would already work a match, but nice post-match stuff. Good ending, nice to see Del Rio even the score up after last week. Good episode, just I can't see Diesel already working a match.

SmackDown, good way to bring in Brodus Clay, but a predictable loss for him in the opening match. Alberto Del Rio and Christian in a rematch is good. Still wondering how you will play out this Lay-Cool Gauntlet. Obvious victory for Michelle McCool. While attacking Rey Mysterio in his home really put both Cody Rhodes and their feud over, I just don't see it happening. Love Drew McIntyre defeating Kofi Kingston for the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Kingston really was doing nothing, and McIntyre needs to be shoved back into the limelight. Obvious victory for Kane over Yoshi Tatsu to qualify for the Money in the Bank Ladder Match. It's a shame to see Jack Swagger go over Evan Bourne, but I guess it would have harmed either man, whatever the result. Blatantly obvious that Diesel was going to be the Mystery Partner for the Big Show, especially with the graphic. Not a fan of him competing instantly, even if it did end in a DQ. A good Main Event to close the show, very happy to see Del Rio go over and stand tall. A decent episode, only a few things I didn't like.

I knew you were going to use that PSD. And I also now know the exact one you will use for the Intercontinental Championship too, haha. It's a nice touch, but not much point considering we will only see them once you have revealed them.

Decent opening promo, predictable though. Edge over Clay was a good choice for an opener, I see Clay being a pretty good WWE big guy. The WWE Did You Know is a nice touch. McCool going over Kaitlyn was the right decision. I can't see LayCool winning the Gauntlet at Mania though as it would hurt the other Divas. Wow, Rhodes invading Rey's home makes him look even more sinister, which I love. Unfortunately, Rhodes getting the upper hand every week makes me think he'll lose at Mania. Not a fan of Drew McIntyre winning the Intercontinental Title. I didn't like his first reign and I don't think he's over enough. Good choice to have Diesel join Big Show's team at WrestleMania, and it's realistic. Glad he didn't pin Barrett though as that would've hurt his credibility big time. Del Rio winning the main event was great, I really hope he becomes World Champion at WrestleMania.
Overall, a very solid broadcast. And I like the new United States Title.

- Nice little change having Brodus win NXT, and it helps further his being there with Alberto.
- Great way to kick off he show with a big match like that!
- I could see Laycool making it all the way in the gauntlet until the debut of Awesome Kong!
- Ah, don't know if I like Cody coming into Rey's home. I didn't like it when HHH and Orton did it. I feel they should've left that to Austin & Pillman.
- LOL, what? Cody's crazy now?
- Cool to see Drew win the IC belt, and even cooler that he's gonna be the first to hold the new belt.
- Dang, no Yoshi in MITB, lol.
- Haha. Big Diesel. Thank you, chaz for doing that!
- Pretty obvious that Del Rio would win there and continue the feud. Almost though the ref would reverse his decision.

SD:
- Good opening promo, nice to see Clay taking NXT, the guy was the rightful success story of that show. Nice to see Clay getting thrown straight into the main storyline, Edge going over was the right move. Christian/ Del Rio should be good.
- Michelle getting the win was obvious. I'm not a fan of the whole gauntlet idea but I suppose it's realistic, show's gotta have a pee break after all.
- Loved the home invasion angle with Mysterio and Rhodes, was not expecting it at all. I really think Rhodes could be a future main event prospect so looking forward to seeing what you do with him.
- I'm a bit mixed on Drew taking the Intercontinental title. I like him and all but he's not really got the momentum to be the champ, really think it should have gone to someone like Barrett or Rhodes.
- Kane getting into the MITB is okay. If he's not going to be involved against the Corre then this is really the only place to fit him in on the card.
- Nice to see Swagger going over, the guy really deserves to be in the main event though, he's far too good a heel for the midcard.
- I kind of expected Show's partner to be Diesel and to be honest I was disappointed when he wasn't used at Mania. Hope to see plenty more of them in the future.
- Del Rio going over was fine, although I really think Christian could have done with the victory. Right now I just don't see him as a viable world title contender and a win here would have changed that somewhat.
- Enjoying this immensely dude, probably my favorite WWE diary on the board. Looking forward to seeing more.

-Wow. A massive start to the show. I can't wait to see this.
-Edge over Brodus was good, as it gives Edge some more hype, and Brodus looks good as he faces the WHC.
-Interesting attack on Mysterio from Rhodes. Really starting to look forward to their match at WM.
-McIntyre over Kingston to win the Intercontinental Championship is great! Really ups him alot more now and boosts his relevance alot.
-Kane qualifying for MITB is very interesting, and it eliminates Kane from Big Show's partner contention.
-Jack Swagger over Evan Bourne is fine and it's an expected call here.
-Big Daddy Cool, Diesel as Show's partner is absolutely epic. Glad Nash didn't pin Show though.
-Christian losing here is fine either way, as they both need hype for the match at WrestleMania.
-Great show as always.
