-This McMahon/Punk alliance is great. Hope they add to the group, as I can see a somewhat WWF angle in this. -Truth over Marella was the better way to go. Hope Truth keeps his relevant. -Swagger over Masters is nice. I hope Swagger turns face here and has a feud with Del Rio. Good call. -Del Rio and Miz over Mysterio and Riley is fine either way. Lots of possible angles for SummerSlam now. -A possible McIntyre face turn in the works should be nice. Can't wait to see where this goes. RAW's mid-card is stacked at the time. -Cena going over was the right call. Wow. I wonder if Steph's the new chairman. Great ending and can't wait to see what's next. -Great show; you obviously have big plans.

CM Punk and Vince McMahon Set for SmackDown Both Vince McMahon and the WWE Champion, CM Punk are been advertised for this Friday's SmackDown. This is likely to push the "takeover" as a whole company storyline rather than just Raw, however, it is expected that the majority of the storyline will remain on Raw. This past Monday, Stephanie McMahon returned to TV and forced CM Punk to defends his WWE Championship at SummerSlam against John Cena. The storyline is being billed as Vince McMahon's last, and apparently he wants to take a step back from the company and let his daughter, Stephanie and Triple H start taking control. By no means is McMahon stepping down, but he is slowly easing the couple into power ready for when they do take over the WWE.
WWE Superstars Tapings The matches taped for this Thursday's WWE Superstars are; Tyler Reks versus Primo; Beth Phoenix versus Maryse; Brodus Clay versus Trent Barreta; Zack Ryder versus Curt Hawkins. Reports from Raw state that Ryder also has a promo on the show with Curt Hawkins.
SmackDown's Main Event The SmackDown Main Event will be the World Heavyweight Champion, Christian teaming up with Wade Barrett to take on Randy Orton and Sheamus. The WWE.com preview mentions how Orton and Sheamus aren't expected to work together, but are forced to team. Also taped for the event is Daniel Bryan taking on Mark Henry, and the WWE tag Team Champions, David Otunga and Michael McGillicutty taking on The Uso Brothers.

WWE Superstars, July 28th, 2011 "Yes, sir, we promised you a great Main Event..."
Cue Opening Package.
The pyrotechnics explode from the stage and the crowd erupt as the WWE|HD banner flashes across the screen. We are taken to Josh Mathews and Scott Stanford who tell us that the WWE is under a completely new regime with Mr. McMahon and the WWE Champion, CM Punk in control. They remind us that this past Monday night, Stephanie McMahon returned to the WWE and told her father that he was out of order, and made a match for SummerSlam which would see CM Punk defend the WWE Championship against John Cena. The WWE Universe erupt once more as the theme of Zack Ryder hits.
Zack Ryder comes out to a huge pop with a microphone and enters the ring. He says that last week on Raw, he pulled off the impossible and defeated Mr. Money in the Bank, Alberto Del Rio. He says that he feels on top of the world, and wants to celebrate his recent success with his 'broskis'. He starts to fist pump and chant "Woo, woo, woo!", but he is interrupted by the theme of his former tag team partner, Curt Hawkins. The crowd boo as Hawkins laughs. He says that Ryder has totally lost everything he ever had and dropped to the lowest level of scum within the WWE. He says that Ryder went from being a dominant force in a tag team, working alongside Edge, to becoming a ridiculous joke that gets the WWE Universe to fist pump to some pathetic catchphrase. Zack Ryder says that Curt Hawkins is such a party pooper, and he thinks that he should lighten up a little. He tries to get him to fist pump, but Hawkins isn't having any of it. He says that tonight, he's going to beat some sense back into Ryder when they face off. The Superstars theme hits and we then cut to a commercial break.
Commercial Break.
Tyler Reks def. Primo. This was Tyler Reks' return match to the WWE after a rather long hiatus, not appearing since being drafted to Raw earlier this year. Primo put up a fight, but the mysterious Tyler Reks put a stop to his tricks and planted him with the Burning Hammer for the victory.
Tyler Reks barely celebrated his victory, simply standing over Primo, running his hands through his own hair. We then cut to a promo package.
We see a promo package for WWE SummerSlam, airing August 14th, 2011. It is shown to the theme of 'Bright Lights, Bigger City' by Cee Lo Green. We then cut to a commercial break.
Commercial Break.
We return to see Jack Korpela and Matt Striker on commentary.
Brodus Clay def. Trent Barreta. The big Brodus Clay hasn't been seen in a while, but this match proved he hasn't lost it. He squashed Barreta with a huge Big Splash to finish him off.
Brodus Clay celebrated the win as we cut to a promo package.
We see a promo package for this Friday's SmackDown Main Event, advertising that it will be the World Heavyweight Champion, Christian and Wade Barrett taking on Randy Orton and Sheamus. Will Orton and Sheamus be able to work as a team to defeat the evil pair of Christian and Barrett? Tune into SmackDown to find out. We then cut to another promo package.
We see a promo package for the WWEs Anti-Bullying Campaign featuring multiple WWE superstars and divas. We then fade to a commercial break.
Commercial Break.
Josh Mathews and Scott Stanford return to commentary for the rest of the night.
Beth Phoenix def. Maryse. The Divas Champion, Kelly Kelly was on commentary for this one. Beth Phoenix proved why she was receiving a title shot at SummerSlam after defeating Maryse following a huge GlamSlam.
After the match, Kelly Kelly entered the ring and raised Phoenix's hand. Phoenix looked confused but accepted the show of respect. Phoenix made sure Kelly knew she wanted the belt and kelly nodded back at her. We then cut to a promo package.
We see a quick recap of what happened this past Monday on Raw with Stephanie McMahon returning and making CM Punk versus John Cena for the WWE Championship at SummerSlam. We then cut back to ringside.
We see a classic WWE Superstars graphic showing Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins faces half and half. That's NEXT! We then cut to a commercial break.
Commercial Break.
Zack Ryder def. Curt Hawkins. These two former tag team partners went head-to-head here, and only one could come out on top. It just so happens that Zack Ryder was the man tonight, managing to put Hawkins away with the Rough Ryder.
After the match, Zack Ryder celebrated with the fans completely behind him. He then helped Hawkins to his feet and offered him a handshake, but Hawkins slapped his hand to the side and then left the ring to a ton of heat. Ryder shrugged it off and continues to fist pump as WWE Superstars fades to a close. © 2011 World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc.

Monday Night Raw: No surprise you started with Vinny Mac in the ring. Still unsure about the whole Punk and McMahon alliance, but we'll just have to wait and see where you go with it. Wonder what Cena's big main event is. R-Truth beating Santino is expected, I feel you should be putting him against stronger opponents though to make him look stronger. The Uso versus the tag champs should be interesting, but I see McGillicutty and Otunga retaining. Nothing much to say about Masters and Swagger, just keep Swagger winning and push him. Good tag team match up between Miz/Del Rio and Mysterio/Riley. Not sure about Del Rio winning with an Enziguiri, the armbar would have worked better. Looks like Miz and Riley will be facing at SummerSlam. Please give Phoenix the belt at SummerSlam. Kingston/McIntyre match was interesting, triple threat at SummerSlam? I wouldn't mind seeing that. Not sure about Cena going over Henry, kinda kills all the momentum he had going into tonight's show. Would have been better if Henry just killed Cena and then Vince went to fire him, but oh well. Crazy ending, wish you would've given some explanation as to how Steph can his Cena a title shot, but Steph vs. Vince rivalry is always fun. Overall a decent RAW, could've thrown in one or two more matches. You definitely know where you're going with this, just the execution is somewhat bad. I'm enjoying this though and I can't wait for more.

Really don't like where you've taken the Punk angle. It doesn't really make sense for him to just join up with McMahon. All that build about him leaving with the belt, just to say "look, I'm the face of WWE!"
Cena's involvement was lackluster. He should be out there firing questions and "witty" insults, not simply saying "why". McMahon's reasoning for his alliance with Punk does not make sense. He was leaving, but then we became buddies and I handed him everything? For this to work, I'd expect McMahon to still hold that animosity for Punk, not to just sweep it away and forget about it. Interested to see what you have set up for the main event.
Truth over Santino, common sense. I liked the post-match promo, very realistic.
I like the Usos, so them challenging for the belts is a good thing.
Swagger over Masters, again, common sense.
Del Rio needed this victory following the shambles that was last week. However, I don't like the prospect of yet another feud with Rey Mysterio. Miz and Riley's feud needs to end too.
Hmm. A little unsure of Beth Phoenix coming out of nowhere and having a title shot handed to her. For months she's been useless and her appearances have been scarce. Build her properly, monster heel once again?
I enjoyed the Kofi/Drew/Dolph stuff. Obvious triple threat on the way. Hopefully Dolph drops the belt and moves up the card.
Mark Henry was a nice surprise for the main event given his recent actions. I dislike Cena going over clean as it kills any momentum Henry has built for himself. At least have a DQ finish involving Punk or McMahon as Cena starts his comeback.
The closing segment was nicely done. Again, I don't like Cena putting Punk down as it makes him look weak. He needs to be smart and avoid the attack, or at least escape. Tease the AA, only for him to slip away with Vince.
A decent show, just some things I would have changed.

WWE RAW: Monday 25th July 2011...Vince McMahon in the ring with CM Punk to kick of fthe show is fair; like Chaz said, I'm not sure about their alliance. It just seems like a waste of time in this case. John Cena's interruption was good, but yeah, he wouldn't have just said 'why?'. It isn't Cena. Interested in what this main event could be. R-Truth beating Santino Marella; weak opening contest really. I'm surprised you didn't use Vladimir Kozlov at all, either. John Morrison returning is nice, and already we have two solidified matches that we can possibly get at SummerSlam. Was a pleasant surprise to see the Usos back on RAW, I assume they'll be challenging David Otunga and Michael McGillicutty in upcoming weeks. It's not too late to build McGillicutty and Otunga to a decent level, though. Jack Swagger beating Chris Masters wasn't a bad match, nothing special though honestly. The first-hour main event was great, solid tag team match with Alberto Del Rio and Miz beating Rey Mysterio and Alex Riley; an enziguiri finishing the match? Strange result to the match. Kofi Kingston and Drew McIntyre wasn't too bad a match, just wasn't that interesting. Did like the dissension with McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler though. I would hate to see Kofi and Ziggler one more time. I still doubt that CM Punk would be booed, even if with Vince McMahon; in the long run, Vince brought back someone the fans WANT to see, so that would probably turn them into big fan favourites. Mark Henry was an interesting opponent for Cena, but we've seen this one already. Surprised to see Stephanie McMahon. It's inevitable that Cena and Punk will face off again at SummerSlam. Not a bad show, but there's not really an excuse as to why the WWE Divas Championship scene couldn't be focused on during this show; five matches, could have easily put in one more.
WWE Superstars: Thursday 28th July 2011...A promo on Superstars? That is really bizarre to see, seriously. Him and Curt Hawkins building up to a match tonight is nice to see; this really cuts the length out of other matches on this show though; could have been easily done in a backstage segment instead of making a main event-like deal out of it in the ring. Tyler Reks beating Primo was obvious; I hope Reks gets built up lovely. He has a lot of potential, he just needs the chance. Don't screw this up. Oh wow, this feels like monsters squashing cruiserweights this week. Brodus Clay while I love the guy, he should return to SmackDown, it's overkill for two big men, like Reks and Clay to come back right after each other on the same show, and annihilate two stars that put on good matches on this very show. Trent Barreta is so underrated. Beth Phoenix and Maryse have had good matches on Superstars in the past month, good win for Beth here. Seems like you're going for Phoenix and Kelly Kelly at SummerSlam as well. DID IT FIRST DID IT FIRST. Should have happened on RAW, seriously. Nice main event I suppose, Zack Ryder with the win was predicted, but I really hope Curt Hawkins gets somewhere. He's a good character, I don't get why he's doing nothing and has been given no chance to talk or venture into his character. Not a bad show, nothing special.

Friday Night SmackDown, July 29th, 2011 - The Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. "Yes, sir, we promised you a great Main Event..."
Cue Opening Package.
The pyrotechnics explode and we are greeted by Michael Cole, Josh Mathews and Booker T. Cole says that tonight, not only will we have a huge tag team Main Event when Wade Barrett teams with the World Heavyweight Champion, Christian to take on the unusual pairing of Sheamus and Randy Orton, but we will be graced with the presence of Mr. McMahon and the WWE Champion, CM Punk. Booker T asks how Cole can say "graced with the presence" after seeing what McMahon and Punk put Cena through lately. Cole says that he is all for this new WWE, this revolution. Josh Mathews tries to change the subject, but before he can, the theme of the Chairman hits to a ton of heat.
Mr. McMahon walks out first with his classic walk and a grin on his face. He then pauses and beckons from the back. The WWE Champion, CM Punk emerges from the set to a very mixed reaction. The crowd are totally 50/50 tonight. Punk has the WWE Championship slung over his shoulder casually. They enter the ring and McMahon begins to speak. He says that tonight, he wanted to give the SmackDown crowd a taste of the new power in the WWE. He says that he's a changed man, and he's far more enthusiastic than ever before. He then says that he has vowed to change the WWE for the better, and he's going to do it with the help of CM Punk and his 'excellent' business visions. He hands the mic to CM Punk, who says that the WWE is going to take some major digging up, but in partnership with Vince McMahon, he knows he can do it. He says that the WWE Universe will cheer for anything lately, whether it be ridiculous leprechauns, the "man of a thousand expressions" Randy Orton, and anything else that's pathetic, just like them. This gets him a lot of heat. He says that the WWE Universe is one of the main problems with this business, because they're bringing their children, their grandmothers, their dogs, and the whole wrestling world has catered for it. He says that it's time for the era of CM Punk to take over, and it will open its next chapter when he defeats John Cena at SummerSlam, and takes him out for good. All of a sudden, CM Punk and Mr. McMahon turn to the entrance as the theme of...
Daniel Bryan hits! The SmackDown Money in the Bank winner comes out to a huge pop and a smile on his face. He enters the ring and grabs a microphone. He says that CM Punk comes out here and he slates the WWE Universe, when they were the ones who wanted him back. They were the ones who chanted his name when he won the WWE Championship. And they were the ones that demanded that they see you back in the WWE as the rightful WWE Champion, but now he throws it back in their faces. He says that if Punk had any idea how popular he is, he'd think different about what he's saying. Punk laughs and says "I remember you! you're Bryan Dan- I mean, Daniel Bryan...". Bryan tilts his head and laughs. CM Punk says that Daniel Bryan was the guy who was called the 'Best in the World', but now that's all changed, because he is the 'Best in the World' now. Daniel Bryan says that CM Punk has in-ring ability, but his attitude stinks! CM Punk says he doesn't care, because all he needs is power (pointing to McMahon) and this (pointing to his WWE Championship). Mr. McMahon steps in and tells Daniel Bryan that he had some nerve coming out here and interrupting them, and so he wants Bryan to pay. He asks Bryan if he saw Raw this past Monday, because he'll be facing the same man who John Cena faced... cue Mark Henry! Henry's theme hits and Bryan looks on in shock. We then cut to a commercial break.
Commercial Break.
Mark Henry def. Daniel Bryan. Henry couldn't quite get the job done, but it was a different story tonight. As always, Daniel Bryan put up one hell of a fight, but the World's Strongest Man proved too much for the submission specialist, planting him with the World's Strongest Slam after catching a crossbody, and picking up the victory.
Mark Henry screamed before lifting Bryan back up to his feet and locking in the Bearhug. The crowd scream for Bryan to get out, but he can't do it. Suddenly... BANG! The theme of Kane hits and he rushes out to a huge pop. Henry drops Bryan and turns into a fighting stance. Kane slides in the ring and the two monsters trade blows. Kane gets the advantage and staggers Mark Henry towards the ropes. It was at this point that Daniel Bryan got to his feet and dropkicked Henry through the middle rope and to the floor. Henry retreated, shouting at Kane, saying he was going to break him. Kane and Daniel Bryan stood in the ring as we fade to a promo package.
We see a promo package for the WWE's Anti-Bullying Campaign featuring multiple WWE superstars and divas. We then cut to a commercial break.
Commercial Break.
Alicia Fox with Tamina def. A.J. with Kaitlyn & Natalya Alicia Fox definitely proved her worth tonight. The young A.J. tried her hardest, but when Tamina caused a distraction by picking a fight with Natalya on the outside, Fox was able to deliver a huge Axe Kick to A.J. and pick up the victory.
Alicia Fox and Tamina fled in celebration as Natalya and Kaitlyn checked on A.J.. We then fade backstage.
SmackDown General Manager, Theodore Long is backstage to a pop. In walks Mark Henry to a ton of heat. He looks extremely angry. He corners Long who looks scared for his life. Henry demands a match with kane next week on SmackDown. Long stutters and Henry once again demands the match before he can get his words out. Long says he'll make the match for next week. Henry backs off and says that he better book the ambulance service for next week, because there's no way Kane is going to be leaving under his own power. Henry leaves and Long readjusts his suit as we cut to a commercial break.
Commercial Break.
We return to see Randy Orton in his locker room to a huge pop. Todd Grisham rushes up to him and asks him for his opinion on teaming with Sheamus tonight. Orton says that he and Sheamus have a lot of history, feuding on and off in 2010. He recalls Sheamus hitting him with the Brogue Kick last week, and he hasn't forgotten it. But tonight, he has one intention, and that is to make sure Christian understands that he isn't through with him yet, and tells Grisham that if Sheamus gets in the way, he won't hesitate to get rid of him. We then cut to ringside.
The Usos def. WWE Tag Team Champions David Otunga & Michael McGillicutty in a non-title match. This match was made this past Monday on Raw when The Usos made the challenge. To the shock of the WWE Universe, The Usos pulled off an amazing victory when they disposed of David Otunga and hit the Alley-Us on McGillicutty for the win.
The Usos celebrated to a huge pop from the crowd as David Otunga dragged McGillicutty from the ring. They argued a bit before leaving up the ramp in anger. The Usos did a short Samoan tribe performance in the ring to celebrate as we cut to a promo package.
We see a promo package for WWE SummerSlam, airing on August 14th, 2011. It is played to the theme of 'Bright Lights, Bigger City' by Cee Lo Green. We then cut to a commercial break.
Commercial Break.
We return to see Jinder Mahal and The Great Khali in the ring. Mahal says something in Indian and then translates it to the WWE Universe. He says that up next, he will face the Intercontinental Champion, Ezekiel Jackson, and when he defeats him, he will demand respect from the entire WWE Universe, and then, he will go to the back, and demand an Intercontinental Championship Match from Theodore Long. Ezekiel Jackson then makes his entrance as we cut to a promo package.
We see a WWE 'Did You Know?' package. We then return to SmackDown.
Intercontinental Champion Ezekiel Jackson def. Jinder Mahal with The Great Khali in a non-title match. Jinder Mahal may be able to talk the talk, but Ezekiel Jackson replied with an incredible performance. The Great Khali did try to get involved at one point, but was speared off the ring apron by Jackson, and Jackson was able to finish Mahal off with the Torture Rack to end the match.
Ezekiel Jackson celebrated, but was taken by surprise when The Great Khali locked in the Vice Grip on Jackson. Even the monstrous Ezekiel Jackson couldn't defend himself and slowly faded away as Jinder Mahal screamed in his face. Khali tossed the motionless body os Ezekiel Jackson aside as Mahal raised his hands to a ton of heat. We then cut to a commercial break as referees tend to the downed Intercontinental Champion.
Commercial Break.
Ted DiBiase with Cody Rhodes def. Justin Gabriel. This was a quick match, but got the point across. Gabriel was all over the place, taking DiBiase down at any opportunity. But unfortunately for him, Heath Slater rushed to ringside. Cody Rhodes took advantage of this and distracted the referee, allowing Slater to run in and take Gabriel out with a Lifting Reverse DDT. DiBiase crawled to the cover and picked up the victory.
Heath Slater smirked at what he had done and Cody Rhodes applauded ted DiBiase for finally picking up a victory. The trio left as Justin Gabriel looked on, fully aware of what had happened and looks directly at Slater in anger. We then cut backstage.
Backstage, Todd Grisham is once again in a locker room, but this time it's the World Heavyweight Champion, Christian to a lot of heat. Grisham asks Christian if he thinks his opponents can work together tonight. He says that Randy Orton doesn't have any friends who would work with him, let alone his enemies. He says that Sheamus and Orton are just a bomb waiting to explode, and as Randy showed at Money in the Bank, he can snap at any moment. He says that if he was Sheamus, he wouldn't even show up tonight because Orton will just hog the spotlight anyway like he always does. Suddenly, Wade Barrett walks in to even more heat and shakes hands with Christian. Barrett grabs Grisham's hand and speaks into the microphone, saying that Randy Orton and Sheamus will lose tonight, because they won't work together, and simply because he and Christian are better, he then turns to Christian and tells him that even though they are partners tonight, he is looking for a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship at some point. Christian tells Barrett that he should prove himself tonight then. They share an unusual smirk as we cut to a commercial break, and when we return, it's Main Event time!
Commercial Break.
Randy Orton & Sheamus def. World Heavyweight Champion Christian & Wade Barrett. These four men all have large egos, and it was uncertain if the ring could hold them all at once, but surprisingly, it went well. And even more surprising, Orton and Sheamus worked like a charm. The match came to an end when Randy Orton went for the RKO on Christian, but he bailed out, grabbed his World Heavyweight Championship and left! Wade Barrett shouted up the ramp, asking where he was going, only to turn around into a huge Brogue Kick from Sheamus, followed by the cover and the victory.
Sheamus celebrated, and it was shockingly to a huge pop. He smiled as he stood over Wade Barrett. He turned around and the whole WWE Universe thought Orton was going to hit and RKO, but instead, the two stood face-to-face, not moving whatsoever. The theme os the SmackDown General Manager hits and he comes out onto the stage before Christian can leave.
Long tells everyone that he's sick of Christian running away from his challenges, so he's going to make a match for SummerSlam. And if he runs away from this one, the match will still continue, because he doesn't even have to be involved to lose his Championship! The crowd erupt as Christian's jaw drops. Long reveals that since these four men have tangled quite a lot recently, he's making a Fatal 4-Way Main Event for SummerSlam, for the World Heavyweight Championship! The crowd erupt once more and Christian starts having a tantrum on the stage. Orton and Sheamus smirk, and so does Barrett who is slowly getting to his feet. Long wishes Christian "good luck" and then leaves to his theme. Christian stares down to the ring with wide eyes, still in shock as his three opponents look up at him with gold glistening in their eyes. SmackDown then fades to a close. © 2011 World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc.

SmackDown:
- Well written opening segment, CM Punk and Daniel Bryan in the same segment is godly, I'd love to see a match between the two. - I'm not sure I like Bryan getting manhandled by Mark Henry. I see why it happened but if you are going to make Bryan look like a credible potential champion then you need to show that he can win against the big guys. - The Diva's division on SmackDown is just going through the motions right now and I've gotten a little bored of it. But there's not a lot you can do with only the one title for both brands. - Good to see The Uso's going over, I'm a fan of them and have no interest in Otunga and McGillicutty as a team right now. They could both be big if booked properly but the E have completely dropped the ball with them. - Absolutely loved Ezekial getting the win. Jinder Mahal is getting this massive push but he's still really green in the ring and being put over jobbers hasn't done anything for him. - I really think something has to be done with Rhodes and DiBiase. I'm enjoying their whole angle but it just seems to be going through the motions here. The pair need a big feud to kick start things again before they lose their way. - Solid main event, I see your running with Sheamus as the anti-hero face character. Fatal four way for Summerslam? I like. I don't see Christian dropping the title just yet but it could add another aspect to his heel character. - A decent SmackDown but there didn't seem a whole lot going on other than the main event. You should have done something more with Punk and McMahon for one, they were wasted on the show with just the one segment.

Money in the Bank Results are the same, lets see where you go..
WWERAW: I'm expecting strong focus on Punk and Cena here. I wonder how McMahon will proceed to 'punish' Cena. I'm expecting a twist at the end if Vince is calling this memorable, involving Punk possibly? Ziggler and Kingston has been done over and over, but I'm sure Ziggler winning ended the feud entirely. It also gets him over as champion however I hope you do something with Kofi. I am glad you mentioned how Del Rio already won contendership anyway. I hope you push Del Rio well enough that he is credible when he cashes in. I like the Bellas but I don't care if they lose, typical divas match, nothing special. More of Del Rio is good. Ryder going over is more of a loss for Del Rio than it is a win for Ryder so I'm glad you did it, unlike some others. It helps Ryder even with the distraction from Mysterio. I'm looking forward to that feud which I'm guessing is coming off the heels of Rey's unmasking at Money in the Bank. I love R-Truth, good backstage promo. I think you should have him see a psychiatrist as some point, hah. Honestly, not really a fan of the filler match with the Tag Champions losing out but neither team really matter anymore anyway. I hope you can slowly build back some sorta tag division. Excited at the vignette for Morrison. Riley vs. The Miz would be a weak main event but since it's not ending the show it's fine. Glad Miz won and in turn made the feud continue by cheating, looking forward to a possible match at SummerSlam. I liked Cole and King's arguing. Cena segment up next with McMahon, looking forward to whatever happens there. You kinda stole most of Cena's promo, but I loved it, so it works. There isn't much else you could say really. CM Punk returning is awesome and alligning with Vince is even better. Good ending to a pretty good show though I fell there wasn't much development in some places, I still enjoyed it.
WWESuperstars: Small reply to this, Kidd beating Barreta again is fine though I think you should turn Kidd face and have them team. Masters winning is cool, I think you could push him towards the US Title if I'm honest, he's wasted talent. Divas match is okay, glad the more talented divas went over. If I'm honest you could've done R-Truth and Bourne on RAW and put the tag match on Superstars, but anyway, the better man went over. Good show.
WWESmackDown: Good job opening with Christian, damn I hate Orton's Lou Thez's, maybe it's just me but I think they look horrible. I saw scramble and got excited, oh well. Orton vs. Barrett is a good main event, interesting rematch from last year. Kane vs. Christian is a good way to open up, Henry attacking Kane is fine. Cody Rhodes vs. Daniel Bryan at the pay-per-view is where I'm guessing your going, it could be good for the briefcase as long as Bryan keeps it, I hate when MITB winners lose their briefcase. Beth Phoenix returning is remotely interesting, set's up a tag match for RAW but still, nothing too good. Good tag team match. Glad Bryan made Dibiase tap rather than Rhodes who will be feuding with Bryan I'm guessing. Jinder Mahal is pretty boring. Surprised to put Slater over Gabriel here honestly. Justin is the more talented of the two, though I don't see too much of a future for either of them. Glad Slater got a win however. Good main event with the right winner. I was about to mention about the lack of Sheamus but then he magically shows up. Not sure what your doing with Sheamus. SmackDown NEEDS another main event face. Since it's Henry, Christian, Barrett, Sheamus and then Orton. Your going to run out of main events to do quickly. Good show overall though.
I'll review the rest of the shows tomorrow since my ear ache is pissing me off.

WWE SmackDown: Friday 29th July 2011...Mr McMahon on SmackDown is quite the odd decision, but it only made sense because it focused more on the CM Punk and John Cena rivalry. Daniel Bryan's appearance was nice, actually a SmackDown superstar appearing. Still want Punk to face Bryan down the line. Mark Henry beating Daniel Bryan was Bryan's punishment, made Henry look dominant, but made Bryan look dilly. Kane attacking Henry was pretty nice to see. Alicia Fox beating AJ; not a bad decision, probably two of the best divas on SmackDown. The Usos beating Michael McGillicutty and David Otunga was a decent match, happy to see you are potentially building Jimmy and Jey taking the WWE Tag Team Championships, and honestly wouldn't surprise me if they took the belts either. Just do not let them disband. You can't afford a loss of a tag team, and Otunga and McGillicutty are pretty decent characters to use, if you gave them the chance. Ezekiel Jackson beating Jinder Mahal was nice, wasn't fond of the clean finish; would have expected Great Khali to attack the WWE Intercontinental Champion so Jinder didn't look weak. In all honesty, Zeke would have killed Mahal. Ted Dibiase beating Justin Gabriel was fine, Gabriel would have made Dibiase look good. The reverse lifting DDT? When did Ted start using that? Randy Orton and Sheamus beating Christian and Wade Barrett was a nice main event, could have used the opening promo; or at least opening hour main event promo spot to advance this situation though. Because the current storyline is, three angry guys that want the World Heavyweight Championship. Nonetheless, their fatal four-way match at SummerSlam is looking quite apetizing. Good work.

Monday Night Raw, August 1st, 2011 - The Consesco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana. "Yes, sir, we promised you a great Main Event..."
Cue Opening Package.
The pyrotechnics explode from the stage and we are greeted by Michael Cole and Jerry 'The King' Lawler to a huge pop from the crowd. We are told that tonight, Mr. McMahon won't be in the building, but apparently he has something special planned for John Cena to respond to his daughter's actions last week when she made CM Punk versus John Cena for the WWE Championship at SummerSlam in just under two weeks. We then hear the theme of John Cena to a huge pop.
Cena comes out and tells the WWE Universe that recently he's felt like an outcast in the WWE due to how Mr. McMahon and CM Punk are treating him, but he vows to defend the honor of the WWE at SummerSlam, and walk out with the WWE Championship. The crowd cheer, and he says that he will stand up for the entire WWE Universe and battle the evil that is CM Punk. He thanks Stephanie McMahon for the opportunity and says she and the WWE Board of Directors made the right choice for SummerSlam, and he promises to do his best, as he always does. Before he can continue, we hear the annoying beeping of the Anonymous General Manager laptop to a ton of heat, for the first time in around three weeks. Michael Cole stands up and says "May I have everyone's attention please, I have received an e-mail from the Anonymous Raw General Manager...". The crowd give him a ton of heat, but he reads on, saying "And I quote - John, I have been given strict orders by the Chairman, Mr. McMahon to make a match for you later tonight. By order of the Chairman, tonight's Main Event will be John Cena versus the Raw Money in the Bank holder, Alberto Del Rio. Mr. McMahon is deeply sorry he couldn't be here tonight to witness Del Rio rip you apart, but he wants to assure you that he will be watching from the comfort of his own home.". The crowd boo as Cena takes his hat off and rubs his head. He says that he's always up for a fight, and he will prove his worth tonight against Del Rio, and he'll show Vince McMahon what he's going to do to CM Punk at SummerSam. The crowd pop and he leaves to his theme as we fade to a commercial break.
Commercial Break.
Drew McIntyre def. United States Champion Dolph Ziggler with Vickie Guerrero in a non-title match. After last week's interesting turn of events with Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler, this match was made, and to the shock of the WWE Universe, McIntyre was victorious over the United States Champion after avoiding the ZigZag and hitting the Future Shock DDT.
After the match, Drew McIntyre celebrated to a mixed reaction, the crowd still unsure what to think of him. Vickie Guerrero wasn't happy at the loss at all. Suddenly, Kofi Kingston made an appearance to a huge pop, taking McIntyre out with a huge flying crossbody. He taunted to the crowd, but it cost him as Ziggler hit him with the ZigZag. Ziggler and Guerrero escaped with the United States Championship as we cut to a promo package.
We see a promo package for the WWE's Anti-Bullying Campaign featuring multiple WWE superstars and divas. We then cut to a commercial break.
Commercial Break.
We return to see Josh Mathews standing backstage with The Miz to a ton of heat. He asks Miz what he makes of his match with Rey Mysterio tonight. Miz says that Rey Mysterio is nothing but as jumping bean, and he shouldn't have to face him tonight, because he should be the one challenging for the WWE Championship, but thanks to Alex Riley, he's been unable to do that. He says that Alex Riley has gotten in his way for long enough, and officially lays down the challenge. He stares into the camera and challenges Alex Riley to a match at SummerSlam, and he says that it won't just be any match, because it will be Loser Leaves Raw! The crowd pop as Miz says he's going to get Alex Riley off of Raw for good, and finally continue his journey to the top, because he's awesome! He storms off and we cut to ringside.
David Otunga with Michael McGillicutty def. Jey Uso with Jimmy Uso. After suffering a loss to The Usos on SmackDown, Otunga was looking for some retribution, and he got it tonight, but only with the help of his tag team partner, Michael McGillicutty. McGillicutty grabbed the foot of Jey Uso while the referee's vision was blocked by Otunga. Jimmy Uso ran around the ring and attacked McGillicutty, but Otunga hit The Verdict and picked up the victory.
The WWE Tag Team Champions escaped as Jimmy Uso entered the ring to chase Otunga off. He checked on his brother as the Champions left with smirks on their faces. We then cut to a promo package.
We see a promo package for the return of John Morrison, saying he will be back on Raw soon. We then cut to a commercial break.
Commercial Break.
Rey Mysterio def. The Miz. The Miz's harsh words earlier backfired on him here as Alex Riley answered The Miz face-to-face. Unfortunately for Miz, it was during his match with Mysterio. Alex Riley ran to ringside, grabbed a microphone and accepted Miz's challenge, the distraction allowed Mysterio to dropkick Miz onto the middle rope, hit the 619 and follow it up with a Torpedo Splash for the victory.
The crowd erupted as Mysterio celebrated. Alex Riley left up the ramp laughing as The Miz looked on in anger. Miz left the ring and gave chase to Riley, chasing him all the way to the back. Mysterio continued to celebrate until... WHAM! Alberto Del Rio shows up and smacks him with the briefcase. Del Rio grabs a microphone and says "Rey Rey, while everyone seems to be making challenges, I'm laying one out to you. At SummerSlam, you and me, the greatest Mexican wrestler of all time, versus the little chihuahua". The crowd boo as Del Rio kicks Mysterio back down to the canvas before celebrating. We then cut backstage.
Santino Marella and Vladimir Kozlov are backstage talking about what Alberto Del Rio just did. Santino says that "Albert the River" is disgraceful for attacking Rey Mysterio in that way, just like when he eliminated him from the Royal Rumble earlier this year. Kozlov starts laughing and Santino asks him what's funny. Kozlov says in broken English "You got to admit, that was funny". The crowd laugh as Santino looks shocked. He tells Kozlov that it was not funny. Suddenly, the WWE Champion, CM Punk walks onto the scene to a ton of heat. Santino and Kozlov stop and Punk says that this is the reason why he despises the WWE at the moment. He says that the WWE Universe are pathetic enough to find comedy in two foreign idiots, rather than be interested in true wrestling. He shakes his head and walks off to a lot of heat. Santino comically follows him, lifting his hand up in the Cobra position, but Kozlov grabs his hands and says no. Santino lowers 'The Cobra' and we cut to a commercial break.
Commercial Break.
R-Truth def. Evan Bourne. R-Truth has been nothing but dominant recently, defeating superstars left and right. He puts the high-flying Evan Bourne away with the Shut Up! for the victory.
After the match, R-Truth gets on the microphone and declares that he's sick of fighting nobodies. He says the conspiracies are becoming stronger, and he's been cleverly kept away from the WWE Championship by the conspirers because they don't want him making the rest of the roster look bad. He says that it's about time he got some real competition. He starts talking to the imaginary characters beside him, telling them to shut up because they don't know what they're talking about. Apparently, one of them picks an argument with Truth with the crowd find hilarious and Truth starts stomping the canvas, then screaming "You'll think twice before saying that again, won't you?!". The King mentions how R-Truth has completely lost his mind. However, all of a sudden, the WWE Universe erupt as the theme of John Morrison hits! He runs out wearing some jeans, but no t-shirt, and slides into the ring, tackling Truth to the canvas. He begins to deliver hard forearms to the face of Truth, before he manages to throw him off and squirm out of the ring. Truth backs up the ramp, asking his imaginary characters if they saw what just happened. Morrison picks up the mic that Truth dropped and says that he's been waiting for this moment for a very long time. He then says that he's been in contact with the Anonymous Raw General Manager, and he received an e-mail earlier today that said "John Morrison - R-Truth - SummerSlam - STREET FIGHT!". The crowd go nuts as Truth looks on in anger, his eyeballs nearly popping out of his head. Morrison's theme hits and he taunts to the crowd as we cut to a commercial break.
Commercial Break.
We return to see Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler at ringside discussing what's happened so far on Raw. Lawler says he can't believe the amount of challenges we've seen. Cole agrees and says that tonight, we have learned of three SummerSlam encounters. They will be; The Miz versus Alex Riley in a Loser Leaves Raw Match, Alberto Del Rio versus Rey Mysterio, and John Morrison versus R-Truth in a Street Fight, and during the commercial break, the Anonymous Raw General Manager confirmed all three! We then cut to the ring.
Divas Champion Kelly Kelly, Beth Phoenix, Eve & Gail Kim def. The Bella Twins, Melina & Maryse. Your usual 8-Diva Tag Team match here. Didn't last all that long, and the finish came when Beth Phoenix planted Brie Bella with the GlamSlam for the victory.
After the match, the face divas celebrated as the heels retreated. Beth Phoenix came face-to-face with the Divas Champion, Kelly Kelly and they shared a few inaudible words before we cut to a promo package.
We see a promo package for WWE SummerSlam, airing on August 14th, 2011. It is played to the theme of 'Bright Lights, Bigger City' by Cee Lo Green. We then return to Raw.
We see John Cena walking down a corridor, ready for his match as Michael Cole hypes that the Main Event - is NEXT!
Commercial Break.
Alberto Del Rio def. John Cena. In what was set to be an incredible match, John Cena went head-to-head with 'Senior' Money in the Bank, Alberto Del Rio. However, the match was interrupted when CM Punk casually strolled down the rampway with a microphone in hand. Cena had just dropped Del Rio with the spin-out powerbomb, and walked over to the ropes to watch Punk. Punk starts slating the crowd, saying they were cheering for a man who in less than two weeks will be laying flat on his back, knowing that he just lost to the 'Best in the World', and let down all his precious 'CeNation'. He says that John is a coward, hiding behind all his fans because he knows that he can't beat him. He knows that at SummerSlam, he's going to lose, and he knows that all his little kiddy fans will be crying because John Cena couldn't save the WWE from the "evil Mr. CM Punk". John Cena leaves the ring to approach Punk, but Punk backs off slightly, telling Cena he's going to have to wait. Cena turns back around to slide into the ring, but is unfortunately dropped with a huge Enziguiri from Alberto Del Rio. Del Rio then locks in the Cross Armbreaker and John Cena is forced to tap out.
Del Rio grabs his briefcase and leaves the ring in celebration as Cena gets up looking extremely angry. CM Punk sarcastically applauds Cena, and then mocks him by pretending to cry. Suddenly, the titantron switches on to show Mr. McMahon to a ton of heat. He says "Bravo" to Cena, obviously mocking his loss. He then says that last week, he may have been outnumbered by Stephanie McMahon and the Board of Directors, but he's still the Chairman, and he's adding a certain stipulation to the match at SummerSlam. He says that if John Cena wins, he can keep the WWE Championship and everything will go back to normal, but if he loses - he's fired! John Cena doesn't look to happy at that, and McMahon makes sure that the WWE Universe believes it, admitting that he's always been cautious of firing John Cena due to what he brings to the WWE, but with CM Punk as the head figure of the WWE, John Cena is no longer needed. The crowd boo as Mr. McMahon's theme hits and Cena looks upset. Punk starts waving goodbye to John Cena as Raw fades to a shocking close. © 2011 World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc.

WWE RAW: Monday 1st August 2011...John Cena in the ring first was quite a fair move. Nice opening promo, good inclusion from the Anonymous General Manager, hope there is some addressing as to why he hasn't been heard making a match in three weeks. Looking forward to Cena facing Alberto Del Rio later tonight. Drew McIntyre beating Dolph Ziggler was a pleasant surprise, indeed. did like Kofi Kingston interrupting though, just had enough of Kofi in this situation with the WWE United States Championship. David Otunga beating Jey Uso wouldn't have been anything interesting. Rey Mysterio beating the Miz is a fantastic move, and a good match to enter the second hour. Liked Alberto Del Rio attacking him and talking trash. The card for SummerSlam is building up nicely. R-Truth beating Evan Bourne was pretty obvious, we saw this on Superstars last week I believe. Good promo afterwards, but in this case I don't think the match was necessary. Great promo with John Morrison returning, a Street Fight sounds like a fair decision I guess. Kelly Kelly, Eve, Gail Kim and Beth Phoenix beating the Bella Twins, Maryse and Melina was what it was. And lastly, Alberto Del Rio beating John Cena was a nice main event. Liked another appearance from CM Punk, but he should have had a speaking role. A solid edition of RAW.

Nice opening promo with John Cena in the ring. Giving his words. The match made for later tonight sounds great. I'm like the fans. McIntyre being a face is really meh to me. I dunno how to react to it. I'm okay with the Kofi run in but, yeah, he does need to get out of this race (immahypocriteparasitehypocriteparasite). Liking that you are making the Uso's kind of contenders slowly but surely with the New Nexus still going over. Mysterio going over Miz is fantastic with the Riley distraction. Like the way Alberto laid out the challenge for Summerslam too, but I think Rey making the challenge would of been more believable. Truth going over Bourne is obvious, it's a shame what Bourne has once again fallen to be. Good promo and I like the idea of a street fight. The face divas going over makes sense with Beth and Kelly being the ones facing off at Summerslam and it puts them over both a bit. Good main event with Del Rio going over with some help from Punk. The fired situation coming up again, eh? Sounds sweet. Good show.

Cue Opening Package.
Jack Korpela and Matt Striker welcome us to the show following the usual pyrotechnics display. They remind us of the happenings this past Monday on Raw where we found out that if John Cena loses to CM Punk at SummerSlam, he will be fired. We are told we will see a recap of it later tonight.
Heath Slater def. Yoshi Tatsu. Recently, Heath Slater has had it out for his former tag team partner, Justin Gabriel, and he took his frustrations out on Yoshi Tatsu tonight on WWE Superstars, defeating him with the Lifting Reverse DDT.

Josh Mathews and Scott Stanford are on commentary now, and we return to see the entrance of JTG, who comes out to quite an amount of heat. He comes out with a microphone and starts saying how he's a "real gangster", and that he doesn't need the WWE Universe behind him because he's got his "swagger". The crowd were laughing more than they were booing, but JTG was deadly serious. He said that he was going to prove tonight, that he is capable of rising to the top, and representing "the hood". The theme of Santino Marella hits and we cut to a promo package.
We see a promo package for the WWE's Anti-Bullying Campaign, featuring multiple superstars and divas. We then return to WWE Superstars.
Santino Marella with Vladimir Kozlov def. JTG. Despite JTG's tough talk before the match, he was the victim of the infamous Cobra, courtesy of Santino Marella.

WWE Superstars: Thursday 4th August 2011...Heath Slater beating Yoshi Tatsu was fine, a decent opening contest for the show, and the right man won. I do wonder where he can go from here though; there's not a great deal for him to do on SmackDown. Liked your progression of JTG as a character, but it was expected that Santino Marella would beat JTG. Vladimir Kozlov doesn't need to accompany Marella to the ring in every match, really. If it's a singles match, keep Kozlov away. Alicia Fox beating Natalya would have been quite a decent match. The right diva won, since Fox is on the push. Tyson Kidd beating Trent Barreta is fine, they've had a great sequence of matches in recent months, but let this be their last. Brodus Clay as a bodyguard is pretty decent a move, actually. Not sure about a RAW replay of a match main eventing Superstars, could have been done in RAW Rebound format. Also, four matches on Superstars followed by this match, wouldn't fit forty minutes. Not a bad edition, nothing noteworthy though.

RAW -
Decent opening segment. Serves a purpose by setting up the main event. Should be a good match.
McIntyre's sudden push over Ziggler is puzzling. I like him, but this should be a gradual thing considering how recently he's been everyone's bitch. Ziggler looks very weak here.
Loser Leaves RAW should be good. I sense you'll be putting Miz on SmackDown to bolster the main event.
Nice continuation of the feud between McGillitunga and the Usos. A SummerSlam title match would be a nice addition to the undercard.
Del Rio making the challenge is out of character. He's the cowardly heel. I'd rather have seen Rey make the challenge, Del Rio attacks and then accepts. Also, Riley answering the challenge DURING the match? That sounds bad. I'd understand if he was up in the stands or on the stage or something, but running down to the ring and answering seems a bit.. unrealistic.
Albert of the River reference makes this show a 10/10 for me. Decent comedy segment with Punk's involvement.
Truth with a decent win. Bourne isn't quite ready to be beating uppercarders and main eventers regularly, so the right decision was made. Nice post-match stuff. You're very good at capturing Truth's character. Morrison/Truth at SummerSlam was obvious.
Del Rio going over is good, though Cena should NEVER have tapped. His motto to "never give up" looks a little redundant here. The distraction by Punk and his promo were well written. Nice stipulation, just a repeat of MITB really though. Leaves a little mystery behind what you're actually going to do though.
Decent show. Keep it up.
