Some interesting decisions here. The last i knew, Morrison is out until October because of his neck, so I don't really see him being able to even make a run in during the MITB match. I'm figuring you might be ignoring that and setting up Morrison/Truth for SummerSlam.
I hope you don't do Christian/Orton at SummerSlam again. I really would've liked to see Henry beat Show and actually wrestle Orton. I can't believe i just said that, but the whole Christian/Orton thing is getting stale for me.
Not surprised to see Alberto win the MITB. I am fairly surprised to see Barrett win as i thought Sheamus or even Cody Rhodes would be better picks.
Seems like the idea of Punk joining forces with McMahon is the popular choice here. I'm interested to see your direction, but personally I would've like to see Punk lose.
I'm looking forward to the first show. Good luck.

-I like the MITB decisions. Both of them are amazing. Punk winning is shocking and I can't wait to see what happens on the next night. Good luck with this.

Not a bad call to have Wade Barrett winning the SmackDown MITB. Would've also accepted Rhodes and Bryan as winners. Got the feeling though that Barrett will be the first unsuccessful cash in.
Seems like we'll be getting a Christian/Orton rematch at SummerSlam. And if so, please make it a gimmick match so the feud can end.
Del Rio winning the Raw MITB was the logical choice, and not a bad one. Unlike Barrett, I do expect a successful cash in and a very long awaited title run for ADR.
McMahon aligning himself with Punk is a great swerve and I'm glad to see it happen. But please, keep Cena 'fired' for a while before bringing him back in. Very curious to see what's next for the Punk/McMahon alliance.
Good luck and I can't wait to see the diary progress.

I know a few of your plans and I'm excited, it seems a few have changed too so I'll see what you do with that. Looking forward to this, I hope it's as successful as your 09-11.

Logical decisions to have Wade Barrett and Alberto Del Rio win the MITB matches. Hopefully one, or both, of them hold on to their briefcases for awhile. I hate when they cash them in less than a month after they win. Morrison interfering with R-Truth will add to his conspiracy gimmick and give him a feud. Hopefully after that you put the strap on him. The finish for the Randy Orton and Christian match was perfect, although it appears that the feud will continue. I find the whole Christian/Orton thing really boring, it has ran its course. Really interested to see where you go with the whole Punk and Cena thing. Overall, nice set up and you got a lot to work with on this one. Good luck.

RESCH CENTER - GREEN BAY, WI - JULY 18, 2011 - MONDAY NIGHT RAW - Before anything goes underway, we are in the parking lot area where a limo pulls up and the driver gets out before opening the back door. Out steps Mr. McMahon to an eruption of boos from the crowd inside. He is all suited up and is soon followed by CM Punk, in casual clothing and the WWE Championship over his shoulder. He gets quite an unusual amount of heat for a guy that is mixed to the crowd. They begin to walk and talk with each other, words not being heard clearly as we fade into a video package for Money in the Bank last night. It highlights CM Punk making his arrival and being showered with cheers from his hometown crowd and John Cena getting the exact opposite. Clips from the match and close calls from both men in terms of victory are shown up until the referee is distracted with Punk in a corner. Cena gets up on the other side and Mr. McMahon, whom had been watching at ringside, gets onto the apron with the WWE Championship and clocks the then-champion right in the head. After that, Punk storms over and hits the GTS before getting the pinfall. The video package concludes with McMahon telling Cena he is fired and celebrating with Punk. The intro "Burn it to the Ground" video then airs as we head into the arena, Michael Cole welcoming everybody to the show officially as things tonight are going to be huge. Jerry Lawler says that hopefully we get some answers from not just the new champion CM Punk, but the man who turned on the entire company - the boss, Mr. McMahon. - 'No Chance' hits around the arena, the crowd raising up in boos once again. Justin Roberts announces the chairman of the WWE, Mr. McMahon and then the new WWE Champion, CM Punk. They come out and Punk is sarcastically blowing kisses and praising the crowd, even getting on his knees and thanking them over and over. They eventually arrive to the ring and McMahon tries to speak into the mic but the whole Resch Center bursts into boos again, shutting him up. "Could you all please..." He tries to speak over the boos and resorts to yelling as they do not stop, "Could you all please shut your damn mouths!? I am the chairman of this company and you should be bowing down to me." Some chants of 'We Want Cena' begin to spill out and Punk chuckles as he asks for the mic from the boss, getting his wish granted. "Look people, Cena isn't going to show up. You see... I promised you all I would leave Chicago with the WWE Championship. Well, we're in Green Bay and I have the WWE Championship. I didn't lie!" Mixed back-and-forth chants of 'Thank You, Punk' and 'Punk Sucks' come from all across the arena. "But I did tell a little white lie about leaving the WWE completely. You see, this was all part of the bigger picture. Those words I spoke to you people a few weeks ago were done to get you all to believe that I don't want to be here. But the fact of the matter is I do want to be here. I want to be here to be in control. The world runs on power and now I have it. You can boo me all you want or you can cheer me all you want - I couldn't care less. Not only am I straight-edge but I am also the WWE Champion along with being the best in the world, so I find myself being... what's that, Vince?" He wags three fingers in front of his face, "Three times better than all of you? I think so. I got my education unlike all of you cheese heads..." He puts the mic out and pulls it back slowly, giving out one more comment, "Go Bears!" Boos continue to ring out as Punk slowly hands the microphone back off, giving a small bow as he does so to Vince, raising a smirk across the boss' face. He steps to the middle of the ring. - "Now, I have been getting the same question left and right: Why? Why'd you do it Vince? Why'd you screw over the face of your company? Is he the new Bret Hart?" He snickers a bit and raises up a finger, "John Cena is not the new Bret Hart. You see, Bret didn't do anything to personally go against me - he just pissed me off. However, John has gone against me and he has pissed me off. I give him the honor of being the face of this business and he takes it and shoves it in everybody's face. Even mine. So what I did is promise that if he was to lose last night, he would be fired. I'm a man of my word and John Cena is and will remain fired! Ladies and gentlemen this..." He walks over to Punk and puts his arm out in front of him and motions across the WWE Championship, "This is the brand new face of the WWE - and deservedly so!" He goes to say more but the lights flicker and the sound of the general manager sending out an e-mail goes off. Michael Cole rises up from his chair skeptically as Punk and McMahon give him a cold stare. He takes a microphone, "May I have your attention please... I have receiv-" Punk quickly shuts him up by yelling at him in a mockery tone, "I have received an e-mail from the anonymous general manager - shut up! Just read the damn e-mail from the idiot!" Actually quite a pop for that as Cole makes his way to the computer, lifting it open and reading out: "And I quote - 'Sorry to interrupt your time, boss. You too, Punk. But as the general manager and having a new WWE Champion and no contender - I would like to make the announcement of who will be the next contender. So if you will allow me to introduc-" Vince demands Cole shut up. "Mr. Anonymous general manager, I'm just about as sick as you as everybody else is. See, I control you as running things and I'm fine with you doing that. But tonight I'd like you to keep your nose out of this show. Sit back at home and watch Raw tonight - we got it taken care of. As a matter of fact Punk and myself have already decided upon some matches here tonight to scout some talent to see who will face Punk at Summerslam for the WWE Championship. Don't you worry, a rightful contender shall be determined before the night is over." Punk and McMahon exit the ring and begin to head up the ramp together as it's time for our first break. Commercial Break- Evan Bourne defeats United States Champion Dolph Ziggler w/Vickie Guerrero in a non-title match via disqualificationA hot opening contest between these two, Bourne getting quite the upper hand on Ziggler early on the match. Vickie gets involved in the middle of the match, however, and gets Dolph back into control. After losing his momentum rather quickly and being set up for Air Bourne, Vickie hands her 'associate' his championship belt, giving him the opportunity to get back up as Bourne is getting prepared on the top rope to hit him in the face - causing the disqualification. - Dolph exits the ring as soon as Justin Roberts makes the announcement that Evan is victorious via disqualification. As he heads up the ramp with Vickie, however, Kofi Kingston steps from the back and charges right at him - getting him to stumble down the ramp by trying to go backwards. Kofi gets in a series of shots but Dolph eventually manages to get over the corner barricade, leaving Vickie shrieking his name at the ramp. Kofi begins to walk to her but decides to leave her alone and head back to the ring to check on Evan, who is still holding onto his face in pain. Commercial Break- Nikki Bella, Brie Bella, Maryse, and Melina defeat Divas Champion Kelly Kelly, Beth Phoenix, Eve Torres, and Gail KimThe Bella's swap didn't work out so well last night and Melina is still obviously fed up with getting defeated by Gail on Superstars as they start things off and Melina goes wild on her. Some tags are made early on after that little battle with Kelly, Beth, and Eve all beating up on Maryse and Melina. A blind tag is made late in the match well Kelly is in, Maryse becoming legal. A huge brawl ensues right around the same time between the eight divas. The referee does his best to get things settled. Everything eventually clears up and Maryse manages to roll Kelly up from behind to get the win. - The heel team back to the ramp as Kelly is joined at her sides by her teammates. The opposing four taunt for the victory and Maryse gives her "forget you" hand and they all make their way towards the back, the face group not seeming happy one bit. - Cutting backstage, Scott Stanford is standing by with Big Show. "Big Show, last night Mark Henry assaulted you with the steel steps and seems to have pretty much destroyed your knee completely. What is your status?" Show scratches the back of his head and gives a slight sigh, "You know, Scott, it's pretty bad. I don't know what I'm going to do an-" before he can say anything more, Henry tackles him from behind. He fires off some shots and Show tries to send some back but gets rocked hard by the World's Strongest Man. Henry grabs one of the cameras nearby and pulls it down low, rushing to Show and hitting him in the knee. He yells at him incoherently and storms off, medics quickly coming onto the scene for Show as he calls out loudly in pain. Commercial Break- Returning, Justin Roberts announces the returning Ricardo Rodriguez. He steps to the middle of the ring with his smile and the Money in the Bank briefcase, Alberto Del Rio's music hitting as he drives out in one of his very stylish cars. Rodriguez gives the introduction in Spanish, finishing it off with the name Alberto Del Rio. The regular entrance of Del Rio is done and he gets on the microphone once in the ring. "My name... My name is Alberto Del Rio! But of course," that cocky wink, "you already know that. But I want to introduce each and every one of you to my friend. Her name is Destiny." Ricardo proceeds to hand over the Money in the Bank briefcase, Del Rio looking down to it with a smile. He gives it a kiss before handing it back. "You see... Destiny and I were together back in January at the Royal Rumble - when I won it all! She left me after Extreme Rules where she..." He mumbles a bit in Spanish before reverting back to English, "The point is that Destiny has returned to me. She is a beautiful creature and is guaranteeing me a shot at the WWE Championship any time I want within the next 365 days." Some boos from the crowd as he continues on, "Now I know those other seven guys and probably everybody else on the roster besides CM Punk are jealous of me possessing the Money in the Bank. Because they know that she'll take good care of me and lead me to what I deserve." Before he can say anything more, Rey Mysterio's music cuts him off. He comes down to the ring and stops Del Rio from talking as he is fuming about the interruption. "Alberto, it's funny man. It was about eleven months ago that you were interrupting me. But I'm not out here to cause trouble. I'm out here to congratulate you on winning the Money in the Bank." Del Rio looks to Ricardo and back to Rey skeptically, "I know what you're thinking, Alberto. There's some sort of catch as to why I'm out here - and, well, you are right. See, I was thinking about how we rocked Smackdown all of last year and perhaps we could do it again on Monday Night Raw just one more time." The crowd seems pretty sold on the idea, but Del Rio isn't. He shakes his head and takes his briefcase, "I know what you want, Rey. You want my Money in the Bank. But I am not going to risk what I earned, understand me?" He then steps to the ropes and Mysterio stands still in the middle of the ring, Alberto rushing up behind him and clocking him in the back of the head with the case. He stomps away repeatedly and leans down to Rey, yelling at him in Spanish. He exits the ring with Ricardo and storms up the ramp furiously, Mysterio laid out in the middle of the ring. Commercial Break- The Miz vs Alex Riley goes to a double count-outMiz doesn't seem happy one bit about having to face his former protege once again, so he resorts to using some cheap tactics. He goes for a low blow but Riley catches it and gives some punishment to Miz. He avoids a shot of the steel chair on the outside as well and plows him on the floor, working him viciously. The referee eventually reaches a ten count however and Miz has seemed to find a way out of this. - Riley looks up to the referee and begins to complain to him about the count out. Miz starts to sneak his way up the ramp but Riley isn't having any of that. He storms up to his former mentor and clobbers him over the back, dropping him face first on the ramp. He mounts atop him and begins to fire off shots to the head over and over again, refusing to stop. Security and referees comes out to pry him away but Riley keeps going at Miz. Eventually the lights flicker and the common sound is heard, Michael Cole rising from his seat and going over to the computer: "And I quote: 'Guys, please, stop this. Especially you Riley! I was told by Mr. McMahon earlier that I should sit back and relax and enjoy the show, but this I cannot ignore. Riley - if you want Miz so bad, well, I'll give him to you. At Summerslam. But in this match there will be no count outs, no disqualifications and there will be no rematch. That's right, guys, it'll be a no holds barred match!". Riley seems quite satisfied with it as Miz is enraged as he is taken to the back. - A video package plays for WWE's "Don't Be a Bully" campaign with various superstars sharing and divas their piece about bullying and how wrong it is. Commercial Break- Returning, R-Truth is backstage walking back and forth and talking to himself. "John Morrison wants to show up and cost me Money in the Bank? Just like everybody else... conspirators... this is..." He bites on his fingernails as Scott Stanford asks for a moment of his time. "What do you want? You wanna know what my thoughts are on John Morrison last night?" Stanford gives him a nod, "It's all a conspiracy! Just like everything else that has happened to R-Truth! I'm sick and tired of it, man. And if John Morrison wants to show up and get anywhere near R-Truth... he's gonna get got!" Truth storms off leaving Stanford in complete and utter confusion. We cut to ringside where Jerry Lawler and Michael Cole. Lawler cracks some jokes about Truth before they begin to talk about Summerslam. It happens on August 14, 2011 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. - Santino Marella and Vladimir Kozlov defeat WWE Tag Team Champions David Otunga and Michael McGillicutty in a non-title matchKozlov destroys McGillicutty in the early goings of the match up until Otunga is tagged in, gaining some momentum for the New Nexus team. Kozlov manages to eventually get the tag in to Santino, and he uses his goofball tactics to both Otunga and McGillicutty. He is controlled by both of them for a while though as they are not impressed with what he is doing. Kozlov runs through Otunga and takes him out, getting McGillicutty distracted enough for the Cobra and pinfall. - Marella and Kozlov celebrate their win with the trumpet salute. Otunga and McGillicutty eventually get back up in the ring and begin to argue back and forth about it all. Zack Ryder comes out to the ramp and he gets every one's attention, "Woo Woo Woo! You Know It! Listen up, bumble bee broskis." Otunga and McGillicutty look up to him confused about his presence, "I got a proposition for you dudes. Next week on Raw you face myself and a partner of my choice. Just so you guys won't feel bad about your losing ways continuing too, we can make it a non-title match!" Otunga takes a mic from ringside and speaks back, "What do you mean losing ways?" Ryder gives a shrug and laughs, "You're losers, dog! Listen up, you guys haven't been good since CM Punk took over as your leader and it seems he has moved onto to bigger and better things with Vinnie Mac, so now you have absolutely no where to go. You're losers! So what's it gonna be?" Otunga is fuming and McGillicutty takes the mic from him, "You're on!" Ryder fist pumps to the crowd as his music hits and he heads to the back. Commercial Break- We return to 'This Fire Burns' as the WWE Champion CM Punk makes his way down to the ring once again getting the same amount of heat as earlier. Mr. McMahon soon follows him out and Punk gives some taunting to the crowd. He gets on the mic, "Thank you once again for the warm welcome!" He bows to the crowd at each side before handing the microphone off to the boss. "Now we said earlier on we were going to scout the talent in the matches here tonight and, well, we haven't really come up with a decision. It just takes too much thinking. So we're not going to just go out and name a contender, that just isn't right." He hands the mic back off to Punk and he continues the speaking duties, "Look people. I'm going to be like your precious John Cena. Not in terms of the way I act to you all the way you don't deserve it. He gets these 'Cena sucks' chants over and over again but he loves each and every one of you. It makes me sick to my stomach because you don't deserve that appreciation! But the point is I'm here as the face of the WWE and I am going to be a fighting champion like John but I will be better. So Vince and I decided that we will have ourselves a twenty man battle royal to determine my contender at Summerslam! So let's start bringing them out. The two exit the ring and the first entrance is by Jack Swagger. He is followed up by The Miz and then Kofi Kingston before we cut to break with the voices of Lawler and Cole saying we will find out the new number one contender next! Commercial Break- Returning, all superstars in the ring but suddenly the lights dim down as it seems like we got another entrant. "Time to play the game..." the crowd roars as McMahon and Punk can't believe it outside the ring. Triple H proceeds to make his way down to the ring, getting a thunderous ovation. He does his signature entrance, but stares down the duo as he is on the apron. He enters the ring for the match, the bell ringing. - Triple H last eliminates The Miz to become the number one contender to the WWE ChampionshipOther participants: Chris Masters, David Hart Smith, Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre, Evan Bourne, Jack Swagger, JTG, Kofi Kingston, Primo, R-Truth, Santino Marella, Vladimir Kozlov, and Zack Ryder.It seemed kind of obvious to everybody who was going to walk out victorious in this match as soon as that classic theme hit. Triple H is ganged up on early but tons of the lower-card guys are eliminated early on. The final four in the match are The Miz, Triple H, R-Truth, and Alex Riley. Truth attempts to eliminate The Game with McMahon and Punk cheering him on the outside, but John Morrison comes rushing down to the ring and he attacks Truth from behind. He ducks under one shot and manages to dropkick him over the top rope before fleeing as Punk begins to charge towards the ring. He is fuming and yelling out of frustration just as Miz pulls down the rope as Riley comes at him, leaving Miz and HHH. Miz goes at the King of Kings and trades some shots with him and even goes for the Skull Crushing Finale, but unable to execute. Miz whips Hunter off to the ropes and Punk pulls down on them but the veteran manages to stop himself. Miz then rushes himself to him but the Game is too wise and ducks down, flinging him up over his shoulder and to the floor below to get the victory. - Punk and McMahon stand on the outside staring at Hunter, who calls for a mic and is given one from ringside. "Well, well, well... looks like I'm back. You know I didn't plan on being back tonight in all honesty, but I didn't plan on the boss double crossing John Cena either. But I guess I'm going to have to deal with that my way." He turns his attention to Punk, "Looks like we're going to be facing each other at Summerslam, Punk. I wish you luck... you're going to need it." His theme hits as Punk and McMahon storm around the ring and head up the ramp, staring down Triple H from atop it to bring an end to the show.[/font]

-Like the idea of a Battle Royal tonight. Looking forward to that. -Bourne hopefully contests for the US Title at SummerSlam or so. They need some great matches from the mid-carders. -A No Holds Barred Match is a good way to settle this feud. Looking forward to that. -Triple H winning the Battle Royal is awesome. Punk/HHH will be epic! Can't wait to that.

WWE RAW: Monday 18th July 2011...I'm gonna need to get more adapted to the layout. I get that it's the Resch Center, but WHERE is the Resch Center? Liked Mr McMahon and CM Punk arriving together, they could potentially be the Austin and McMahon of 2011. Great comments, very controversial, and McMahon and Punk now getting cheered sort've is great too. Vince should end up exposing the Anonymous General Manager in my opinion. Evan Bourne beating Dolph Ziggler is acceptable I guess, quite the opening contest, Ziggler needs to drop Vickie Guerrero immediately in my opinion. She just ruins the heat Ziggler has for himself. Please don't give Bourne the WWE United States Championship. Blah eight diva tag team match, liked the Bella Twins' switch botching, and for once the Bellas, Melina and Maryse and victorious over the face divas. I'd like to see a triple threat feud involving Beth Phoenix, Maryse and Kelly Kelly if I'm honest. I've been observing Beth and Maryse's feud on WWE Superstars recently. Alberto Del Rio's promo was amazing, good showcase of him as the winner of Money in the Bank. Hope we don't get a similar promo with Wade Barrett on SmackDown honestly. Not interested in any more Rey Mysterio and Del Rio feuding. One demand of mine is, before you send Mysterio off, let him have a good feud with John Cena over the WWE Championship, and let it main event a pay-per-view. The Miz and Alex Riley shouldn't still be feuding. The double count out finish sucked, their feud is boring me in all honesty. Hm, final encounter at SummerSlam I guess makes sense. I'd rather they have a steel cage match on RAW though. Liked R-Truth's segment on John Morrison. Another RAW match at SummerSlam? I suppose we won't get too much on SmackDown. Santino Marella and Vladimir Kozlov back on the show is intriguing, Guess that they're needed to oppose the dying out New Nexus team. David Otunga and Michael McGillicutty should just drop the team, they don't associate with CM Punk barely now, and they're just beating a dead horse. Let them have a new persona. Zack Ryder challenging the WWE Tag Team Champions? Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins, it would make plenty of sense. Just so long as Hawkins doesn't become a Jersey Shore stereotype. CM Punk with a second promo is nice, just doesn't seem right that you leave the main event unannounced until now. Should have hyped the battle royal earlier in the night. Triple H debuting eh? Seen it already in Nick Jacobs diary. Good main event, surprising that Hunter debuted but it was in a predictable fashion. Perfect set up with Triple H facing CM Punk at SummerSlam. Overall, decent show with a few odd decisions. Not too fond of the poster though, that picture of Punk is well out of date.

John Cena Update...
According to various sources John Cena is apparently taking time off from the WWE and should remain off screen for a couple of months at least. The current plan with Triple H making his return is to set him up with time to feud with Punk and McMahon, eventually with a Cena return to put a closing on the feud and then get prepared for the WrestleMania match with The Rock. Plans are for Cena to return before December.

WWERAW: Here we go AJ, hopeuflly you stick to this mofo. McMahon opening is no surprise really, considering the result of Money in the Bank, CM Punk following close behind is good, it immediately shows us the main focus of the show. I'm unsure on all the love for Cena, I realise he may have been screwed by I still think CM Punk would be cheered, wherever he was due to the amount of love he was getting prior to Money in the Bank. New Contender ey, wonder who? Looks like Punk may be getting an easy opponent, someone he can easily beat. Bourne winning by DQ could be a start of a new storyline, it'd love to see this feud of the title. I hope we don't get Kofi vs. Dolph though, we've had enough of that, if I'm honest, this year and last. Glad someone made the save though. Decent divas filler match with the heels prevailing. I actually prefer to Bellas to alot of divas so I hope you do good with them. I assume your going to have Show out for a little while, that could work for a possible Survivor Series Match when he returns, if that is infact the angle your going with. I like the beastly Mark Henry and I hope you can find him a good feud on SmackDown if Show is going to be out. I love Del Rio naming his breifcase Destiny and speaking of it as if it is human. Mysterio interuppting is odd, we'll we where your going with this. Kind of random, but I can see your trying to start a good match for SummerSlam and a match I'd be excited to watch. A Double Countout is good, and I like it setting up the No Holds Barred Match for SummerSlam. However, Miz NEEDS to go over at SummerSlam, desperately. R-Truth, love him, looking forward to this storyline with John Morrison, I hope we get something else from them tonight. Marella and Kozlov going over is, eh, I can't really say it hurt the tag division because there isn't one. Just not a victory that meant much at all. Ryder coming out, we'll see what this is about. I like Ryder challenging them, I assume his partner will be Hawkins? I understand their loss now, night job getting Otunag and McGillicutty to kinda matter. Again, Punk getting heat would be strange but I see your trying to keep him heel. A battle royal sounds great, I hope you can find a good enough face to take on Punk though since Mysterio is alreay tied up with Del Rio. Triple H, holy crap. That's pretty awesome, glad you had him go over too, Triple H vs. Punk at SummerSlam is pretty huge if you ask me. Good booking. Morrison interrpting again is good and adds to the 'conspiracy' storyline. I also just had a thought that 'Little Jimmy' could be John Morrison since he's an imitation of Jim Morrison from the Doors. Anyway, glad Triple H won, happy ending to a better RAW than the one which aired. I'm liking this so far, keep it up.

Monday Night Raw; love the opening segment and love the Punk/McMahon alliance. Evan Bourne just can't seem to get a clean victory these days! Good segment with Ziggler though and Kingston coming to Bourne's aid. Surprised to see the hell Divas go over here. Love Mark Henry recently, and another attack on Big Show is great. Adored the Del Rio promo and calling his briefcase Destiny. A feud with Rey Mysterio is the obvious way to go. A Double Countout for Miz/Riley works, and I hope their feud culminates at SummerSlam. Santino and Kozlov with the victory is good, and Zack Ryder speaking out is great. I wonder who he'll choose as a partner. Shocking return by Triple H, but an obvious victory. Triple H versus CM Punk seems to be the way to go. Great ending. Overall, a good show. Finding it hard to read it as current day though, I'm so used to your 09-11 diary that I'm confused, haha.

TARGET CENTER - MINNEAPOLIS, MN - JULY 22, 2011 - FRIDAY NIGHT SMACKDOWN - A promo airs for the Money in the Bank pay-per-view from Sunday. Highlights from the Smackdown Money in the Bank ladder match air and concludes with Wade Barrett retrieving the briefcase and taunting it to the booing Chicago crowd. It transitions to later on in the night where Christian ducks a clothesline from Randy Orton and the referee is taken out. Christian then hits the Killswitch and covers Orton - but the referee is down. He gets up after at least ten seconds, obviously he would of been victorious. He eventually wakes the referee and Orton blindsides him with the RKO and gets the pinfall victory. Following the conclusion of it, the "Know Your Enemy" intro video airs before heading into the Target Center where the opening show pyros hit the stage and Josh Mathews, Michael Cole, and Booker T welcome everybody at home to the show. They talk about the main event here tonight being Christian versus Daniel Bryan. - Following the entire introduction, "Just Close Your Eyes" hits and the crowd fills the arena with boos as Christian walks out, not seeming happy at all. He storms down to the ring and gets right on the microphone. "You know - after this past Sunday I went straight to Teddy Long's office and demanded the World Heavyweight Championship. What did he say? No! Why he said no is because he is as much of a cheap and unfair human being as everybody in this arena tonight!" The boos fill up again followed by a 'You Suck' chant, "Oh don't you worry, there are for more cheap and unfair humans in this world. Human beings like Randy Orton! See, he intentionally took out the referee in our match just so he could get some precious time and I know it! But the fact of the matter is that I would of beat him if the referee had not been knocked down because I had his leg hooked and his shoulders down for at least ten seconds and I wasn't victorious? This was pure perfect example of what was in the contract - bad officiating! I should be the World Heavyweight Champion! You all know it, I know it, Teddy Long knows it, and even Randy Orton knows it! Now I got to face a low life chump no name except on the internet named Daniel Bryan tonight. That's fine! But I should be facing him as the World Champion!" Christian storms around the ring until 'Voices' hits and Randy Orton makes his way to the ring, staring down his rival. He gets in the ring and gets a microphone of his own before stepping up to the former contender. - "Christian, Christian, Christian... you are so egotistical that you make things look good for yourself by taking these situations and expanding them. It's quite obvious I didn't intentionally take out that referee... as a matter of fact I didn't even know he was there until I knocked him on his back. For the people who don't know the true side of the story, why don't you take a look?" Orton points up to the titantron and the footage airs from Money in the Bank. Christian staggers up by the ropes and the referee is next to him. He steps out in front of the official and Orton comes storming across the ring. Christian avoids the arm and the ref is clotheslined to the mat. Returning back to the ring Christian puts both his hands over his head, "You caught me Randal. But the thing is if you're not going to be fair with me, I'm not going to be fair with you. I say we settle this with another match." Some boos and hisses from the crowd as Randy goes to speak, only to be interrupted by 'MacMillitant' and General Manager Teddy Long making his way out to the ramp. "Christian - you make a point about the referee being down and if he wasn't you would of been victorious. But that wasn't part of the contract. That was not bad officiating! You can point fingers and say things, but it isn't getting you nowhere. You will not receive another title shot!" Christian is furious as Orton gives a slight grin to him and exits the ring, the former contender kicking at the ropes out of rage. Cole puts over that Christian faces Daniel Bryan - in his words, "that nerd" - in the main event later on. Commercial Break- The Usos defeat Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiaseA reminder from Booker T is given that Rhodes promised last week he'd embarrass DiBiase in front of everybody with bagging his head if he lost another match. Rhodes controls the opening minutes of the match before giving Ted a chance. He keeps the momentum going but the Usos begin to fight back and make frequent tags, taking DiBiase down repeatedly. Rhodes has enough of it all and ends up forcing a tag upon himself and he enters the ring. Ted begins to yell at him in question and Rhodes points at him ordering him to get to the corner. As Ted is exiting, Jey rolls Rhodes up from behind for the three. - The Usos exit the ring and celebrate as Rhodes sits up completely frustrated. He slams his fists into the mat and tugs at his hair before slowly cocking his head over to DiBiase. He demands he gets the bag he had placed on the steel steps. Ted just glares at him and Rhodes orders him to do it right now! A brief stare down before DiBiase drops to the floor and walks up the ramp, Rhodes storming over to the ropes and yelling up at him, "You get back here right now and accept your shame! I am giving you the opportunity to do this on your own - don't make me do it myself!" DiBiase stops half way up the ramp and turns back to Rhodes, thinking for a moment. He then throws his hand out and continues his way backstage as Rhodes kicks at the ropes and yells out of frustration. Commercial Break- Returning, a video package plays for WWE's "Don't Be a Bully" campaign with various superstars and divas talking about bullying and how wrong it is. - Intercontinental Champion Ezekiel Jackson defeats Heath Slater in a non-title matchOnce the bell tolls, the two go into a test of strength. Jackson overpowers Slater easily and floors him into the corner. He works him hard with stiff shoulders to the rib cage and then tosses him around the ring for a couple of minutes like a rag doll. Slater rocks him at little moments. He makes the mistake though of hopping onto his shoulders, trying to pull Zeke down. He is unsuccessful as Jackson just pulls him into the Torture Rack and quickly gets him to submit. - Jackson raises his fists up in celebration and is given his championship belt. He goes towards the ropes but Justin Gabriel comes storming down to the ring and he climbs to the top turnbuckle, measuring up Slater. Jackson watches as he hits a huge 450 splash onto his former tag team partner. Gabriel clutches his gut as he gets up and stares down Jackson, who just shakes his head and leaves the ring before heading to the back. Commercial Break- We return to see Ezekiel Jackson walking backstage. He stops in his tracks and the camera pans out to show Wade Barrett in front of him with a cocky smile. "Well Zeke, looks like I'm the top dog of the former Corre now. Looks like any time I want I'll be the World Heavyweight Champion." Jackson gives a laugh before responding, "Maybe you should prove that you deserve that by facing me again." Barrett draws his smile back and gets very serious before shaking his head, "I've always been better than you, Zeke. But now that I am once again where I belong, I don't need to downgrade myself and face a low life like you. See ya around." With that, Barrett walks off and leaves Zeke not pleased with what has been said. - We cut to Theodore Long in his office with Jinder Mahal and The Great Khali. He asks what they can do for them. Mahal speaks with Khali before addressing the general manager, "We want some competition here on Smackdown," he addresses Khali again before returning to Long, "So next week you shall give us what we want." He goes back to talking towards Khali as Teddy waves his hands up, "Now listen here, Jinder. I don't like you coming up in here and telling me to do what you want. I am your boss - you're not mine. Now if I want to give you some competition next week I will, but if I don't wa-" Mahal grabs him by the collar and stops him from talking. He breaths in his face before letting go and speaking to Khali, apparently telling him to go, as they walk out of the office. Commercial Break- Mark Henry defeats KaneKane fires off with strike after strike to kick things off, and nearly gets Henry to fall in the early goings. He misses a mid-match top rope clothesline and Henry proceeds to smash him in the corners and pound away at his head and back. Kane comes out of nowhere and fires back and actually knocks him down with a big boot. He then goes for the chokeslam but Henry throws his arm down on his before coming off the ropes and splashing into Kane. He does it two more times before nearly getting him off his feet. He then hits the World's Strongest Slam dead center in the middle of the ring. Instead of going for the pin right there, however, he gets back up and goes off the ropes and returns with a big splash to get the pinfall. - The Target Center fills with boos as Henry staggers up to his feet. He takes Kane by the leg and pulls him to the ropes before exiting and dragging him out. He pulls him to his feet and begins to throw him up the side of the ramp. He gets him right in front of it eventually and grabs hold of one of the large cameras set up. "No, no, no! I saw this on Raw!" Booker calls out on commentary, "He did this to the Big Show in the ba-" Henry smashes the camera into the Big Red Machine's face and drops him to the floor. The arena continues to roar with boos as referees and medics come rushing out as Kane is not moving. Henry stares down at him and yells out, "You ain't the monster around here no more!" The referees keep him back as Kane remains motionless. A replay airs of the shot to the head with the camera a couple of times before we cut back to live where the same type of giant platform that had taken out the Undertaker at WrestleMania is being brought out. Kane is assisted up onto it slowly and carefully. As they are ready to drive it off, however, Henry steps in front of it and gets told to move away by the officials. "Get the hell away from me!" He snaps at them, and they all move away. "Get outta those seats!" He gives the order to the two medics in front. They don't listen the first time so Henry yells it again and slams his fists down on the front of it. They immediately hop off and Kane begins to stir a bit. Henry then leans down and takes hold of the bottom of the cart, slowly pulling it up with all of his strength. Kane takes notice of what is happening and begins to move slowly, but he doesn't go quick enough as Henry is able to topple the whole thing over and slam him down onto the floor. Commercial Break- Returning from the break we are at ringside where the trio talk about what just went down between Mark Henry and Kane. They cue some replays of it and we get multiple camera angles of the camera smash to the face of Kane, including the one that actually hit him. Then the footage is shown of Henry tipping over the cart Kane was on and dropping him to the floor - silencing the entire arena. The commentary team says they will update us on Kane's condition. - Kaitlyn and A.J. w/Natalya defeat Alicia Fox and Rosa Mendes w/TaminaNatalya managed to pull out the victory against Tamina on Superstars, so Kaitlyn and A.J. look to impress their veteran pal. Fox is a little bit sloppy with Kaitlyn in the early goings and A.J. is tagged in early. She takes control of the match and things go by fast. Tamina tries to get involved later by getting on the apron but Natalya drags her off and smacks her face into the apron. Rosa is legal at this point and she gets hit with a hard Shining Wizard and A.J. picks up the win. - The three divas come to the middle of the ring together and raise each others arms up. The anger of the others rise quickly, however, as Fox, Mendes, and Tamina all strike from behind and drop them to the mat. They stomp away at them until satisfied. They dust off their hands and give a laugh to the booing crowd as they exit the ring. Natalya, A.J., and Kaitlyn stir lightly - not amused at all by the actions. Commercial Break- Johnny Curtis is seen standing in the back with the camera zoomed right in on him as we return. He gives a smile before speaking, "Hey there. It's me again. NXT Season Four winner, Johnny Curtis. I'll be making my Smackdown in-ring debut very soon. But I've been speaking to the people for quite some time now and I've also been wanting my chance to compete. But, you know..." With that, the camera pans out and a cage with two rabbits inside of it is shown right at Curtis' feet. He leans down and opens it and the rabbits come out quickly. He goes chasing towards them down the hall and they both seem to get away. He catches his breath, chuckles and stands back up. He gives a smile to the camera as it fades out to another part of the arena. - Matt Striker is cut to by the interview area and he proceeds to introduce his guest at this time to be 'The Celtic Warrior', Sheamus. "Sheamus, last week you lost to Sin Cara and then were assaulted by Wade Barrett. He won Money in the Bank this past Sunday but during that match you seemed more focused on Cara than anything else - why is that and what do you plan on doing to win against him here tonight?" Sheamus snatches the microphone from Striker's hand and gives him a stare, "Why did I go after Sin Cara? For one, he shouldn't be beating somebody like me. A former two-time WWE Champion. It's just not right. I figured I'd let it slide but then he cost me my shot at taking the whole Money in the Bank when he kicked that ladder out from under me and dropped me to the floor. He tried to end my career because he is afraid of me. But I'm still standing. Sin Cara, fella. You have your little reign over your few months going right now - but we'll see about that continuing tonight." He shoves the microphone back to Striker and storms off. Commercial Break- Sheamus defeats Sin CaraAs soon as the bell rings, Sheamus comes charging full force at the Mexico star, only to be avoided. Cara ducks away from a series of strikes and kicks and manages to springboard and dropkick the Celtic Warrior. He gets the momentum swaying in his favor as he uses his acrobatic talents to daze and confuse Sheamus. He goes for a top rope dropkick late in the match but Sheamus manages to drop to the mat out of the way. He then nails the Brogue Kick once they are both up. However, he only gets a two count. He drags Cara up and goes for the Celtic Cross, only for Cara to pull himself down in the middle of it and roll Sheamus up, getting a two count of his own. He takes control again but gets floored with a clothesline. Sheamus then goes to the middle turnbuckle and sets up for a move, Cara rushing over to him quickly though and setting up for Moonsault Side Slam, only to be shoved down and Sheamus drop down and hit him with the Brogue Kick once again and get the pinfall to star that has been dominant since April only his second WWE loss. - Sheamus rises up to his feet and pounds at his chest, spreading his arms out in taunt. The crowd boos him as Cara rolls around on the mat and gets checked on by the referee. Sheamus goes over to him and the referee points to him to hold back. He gives a laugh and decides to listen surprisingly, and he exits the ring before heading up the ramp. He stops at the top and once again gives his signature taunt and yell out to the crowd as Cara stirs in the ring. - Cutting backstage, Daniel Bryan and Christian are shown on split screens making their way down to the ring for the main event - next! Commercial Break- Daniel Bryan defeats ChristianThe bell tolls and Bryan immediately takes things to the mat, Christian being lost for the time being. He manages to bring things back up and he manages to stay on his feet for quite a while and send Bryan down on his own a few times. A commercial break is cut to in the middle of the match after Bryan hits a suicide dive into the barricade, nearly perfect. After returning, Bryan is in control still and keeps Christian on the mat in a headlock. He transitions it into an armbar and then a boston crab. He goes to move around again but Christian trips him to the mat and goes for a roll up, just getting a two count. He slams his hands to the mat and gets back up and attempts to go for the Killswitch on Bryan once he is up, but he is shoved away. He turns to a kick to the stomach and then one to the chest. Bryan works away at him and gets him to the corner, sending in hard kicks over and over again. The referee comes right up behind Bryan to tell him to stop and Christian takes advantage by pushing Bryan back into the ref, sending him to the mat. Christian then kicks him right in the groin and lets him drop down. He then exits the ring and goes to the time keeper, ordering him to move. He takes the steel chair to the ring and measures up. The crowd begins to go wild though as Randy Orton comes rushing down to the ring. He ducks away from a chair shot and it ricochets off the ropes and hits Christian in the face. He drops it and turns right to the RKO! The crowd goes wild as Orton slips out of the ring, taking the chair with him. The referee and Bryan stir up on the other side of the ring. Christian hooks his arm on the bottom rope and is pulled up by Bryan and he sends a dazed strike, only to be caught and pulled to the mat. Bryan then applies the LeBell Lock in the middle of the ring, Christian struggling for a little while but ultimately having to tap out. - Daniel Bryan staggers up to his feet and gets his arm raised up in victory as Orton is seen sitting on the chair at the top of the ramp with his World Title plopped over his shoulder. He gives a grin as Christian angrily stirs on his hands and knees and crawls towards the ropes. He points towards his rival and gets back up, motioning for him to come down to the ring. Orton looks around to the crowd, who cheer him on. He gets up slowly and begins to walk down the ramp. He stops though and motions for Christian to turn around. Bryan is right behind him and he hits him with a dropkick, sending him out to the floor. Christian immediately slaps the floor repeatedly in a fit. Orton raises up the World Heavyweight Championship as Friday Night Smackdown comes to an end![/font]

The opening segment with Christian and Randy Orton was a good way to kick the show off. I think it's clear that Christian will indeed be getting another shot at the title, one way or another, despite what Orton stated in the opening segment. Good win for The Uso's in what actually would have been a great tag match. Liked DiBiase not obeying Cody by just heading up the ramp. Fine win for Big Zeke, however, Justin Gabriel attacking Slater after the match was shocking to me. I'm not really a fan of it as you're already low on tag teams and Slater/Gabriel were serious contenders for the Tag Championships if you ever needed them. Mark Henry beating Kane was fine by me. The post-match stuff with Henry basically destroying Kane put him over even more as a monster. Unique to have him topple over the giant platform onto Kane. A.J. and Kaitlyn winning is great - purely because of A.J., lol. Rosa, Tamina and Alicia getting a measure of revenge is fine. Sheamus beating Sin Cara is decent but shouldn't Cara be suspended by now? Haha, it's cool. I don't blame you not suspending him since he's a big star on SmackDown. Solid main event and I'm really surprised to see Daniel Bryan go over. I'm intrigued to see who will face Orton for the championship at SummerSlam. Good show.
Edit: Nevermind what I said about Slater/Gabriel. I had no idea that they were feuding in real life.

Friday Night SmackDown; Christian versus Daniel Bryan is a decent Main Event, and should really get Bryan over no matter what the result. But I feel Christian should win. The Usos over Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase is huge, and I can see Rhodes and DiBiase feuding very soon. Ezekiel Jackson over Heath Slater is the right move, and Gabriel coming out for the attack after makes sense, but I definitely think they should all go their separate ways very soon. Liked the Zeke and Barrett confrontation, followed by Mahal and Khali demanding competition. Great victory for Mark Henry and an incredible segment afterwards. I love this new Mark Henry. Nice of you to highlight the piss break in blue. Good segment by Sheamus, but hasn't Sin Cara already been beaten before? I'm sure I heard he lost, maybe I imagined that. Glad that Sheamus went over here though, he needs to regain some momentum. Extremely shocked to see Daniel Bryan go over here, especially since he didn't win MITB in this diary, but with the Randy Orton involvement, it's acceptable in a way. Overall, a really good show.

Finally getting around to replying to this. Decent opening segment, hopefully this marks the end of the Christian and Orton feud. Daniel Bryan in the main event? Odd. Good tag team match, I understand why DiBiase and Rhode lost, sets up a feud between the two. Should be interesting to see where that goes. Good move to put the IC champ over Slater. I actually don't mind Zeke, so I would have no problem if you keep the belt on him. Interesting segment between Zeke and Barrett. Man I really hate Mahal, please don't push him. Decent match between Henry and Kane, the aftermath was great. Just wonder if and when you'll give Henry a title shot. The Sheamus/Sin Cara match was good, although I'm not a fan of the feud WWE had brewing in real life. The main event was probably my favorite match, surprised Bryan got the win but of course Orton go involved. Great ending to Smackdown, only problem is the Christian/Orton feud needs to end ASAP. Christian has lost too many times and right now I feel it would only hurt his image. Overall good stuff, AJ, and thanks for the reply to TNA.
