- We fade to the back to see Justin Tyger standing outside of a locker room, playing on his phone as he waits. Kaitlyn walks up to him, causing Tyger to immediately drop his phone and turn his attention to her.
Kaitlyn: Hey Tyger! Where‘s Hafiz?
Justin Tyger: Hey Kaitlyn… Hafiz is taking his pre-match piss. It‘s like a ritual with that guy.
Kaitlyn: Can you believe we‘re getting to team with each other tonight?! How awesome is that?!

- Would've loved to see The Usos get the win since I like them, though it's good to see a new tag team being pushed - Someone actually leaving Clay laying on the canvas seems interesting. It's obvious that a feud is about to come, but I wonder if Ryan willbe able to overcome the Funkasaurus - Steamboat vs Kidd would be such an entertaining match up. Good decision to put Steamboat against Kidd for his debut match - Kaitlyn hugging Tyger FTW - REGAL!?!?! While it makes sense, I can't freaking explain how I never saw it coming.

- Nice start to the show with a tag team match. Interesting to see Ezekiel & Gabriel back together. Corre reunion? - Decent squash by Clay, Ryan attacking Brodus after could lead to a exciting and intense rivalry. - If the match between Richie Steamboat and Tyson Kidd would have been on actual tv. The match would be awesome. - A nice debut of Richie, good way to showcase his skills. - Another good match between Kofi & DiBiase, could lead to a interesting feud between both teams. - Good to see a relationship starting between Tyger and Kaitlyn. - William Regal siding with McIntyre and Barrett was unexpected. I can see this faction being great.

General Manager To Be Named!- Announced on WWE.com, this week on Superstars, a General Manager will be named! The Board of Directors cited that the weekly attacks on Rhodes and Riley by McIntyre, Barrett, and now Regal “Need to be handled and dealt with accordingly”, and they feel a strong authority figure will restore order to the Intercontinental Title situation. Hennig and DiBiase Earn Tag Title Shot!- After defeating Evan Bourne and Kofi Kingston in a pair of singles matches over the past two weeks, Joe Hennig and Ted DiBiase have earned themselves a title match against the champions, and they will make the challenge this week in the main event of Superstars! Hennig and DiBiase have shown they have Bourne and Kingston’s cards in singles matches, but can they defeat the champions when they are together, or will Bourne and Kingston show the two why they are the tag champions? Rhodes To Square Off With Barrett!- Following Alex Riley’s loss to Drew McIntyre last week, Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes will square off with Wade Barrett in a singles match! Last week, we saw William Regal leave his spot at the commentary table, joining McIntyre and Barrett as he clocked Rhodes with the Brass Knuckles-aided punch! Rhodes and Riley are at even more of a disadvantage now, as not only do they have to deal with McIntyre and Barrett, but now the legend in Regal! If Barrett can defeat the champion in this non-title match, he will definitely prove that he, McIntrye, and Regal are set to take over the WWE, but if Rhodes can pull this one out, he could possibly halt them in their tracks! Tyger and Hafiz To Confront New GM!Justin Tyger and Hafiz Abdurehman won’t give the new General Manager and easy first night on the job. After the news was posted on WWE.com about the arrival of a GM, Tyger and Hafiz told us that they would confront him about their situation with Booker T and Goldust! They were vocal about the fact Booker and Goldust won their tag match by infearious means, and are looking for a rematch to show everyone they are, infact, still the best tag team in WWE!

Episode three, a good victory for Ezekiel Jackson and Justin Gabriel to open up. I'm liking what you're doing with Cody Rhodes and Alex Riley, it's pretty interesting. A good victory for Brodus Clay, but I loves Mason Ryan's involvement afterwards, someone finally taking down The Funkasaurus. An obvious victory for Richie Steamboat in his debut, but Tyson kidd is a brilliant opponent for him and I'd actually like to see them perhaps have a respect feud. Drew McIntyre and Wade Barrett with a surprise? They're getting married? A great victory for Ted DiBiase, keeping him and Joe Hennig on top and I hope they become the WWE Tag Team Champions soon. This Hafiz/Tyger/Kaitlyn is good, as is their feud with Goldust and Booker T, now with addition of Kelly Kelly. Pleased to see the heels go over though, as Booker and Goldust came out on top last week. Drew McIntyre over Alex Riley was definitely the right move, keeping him and Barrett strong and in control of WWE Superstars. Oh wow! William Regal, ftw! A true British Invasion. Great edition.

WWE Superstars: Wednesday 18th January 2012...Alright, sorry for not keeping up with this, the idea of you using custom workers put me off admittedly. But it's only two and not half of the freakin' roster, so here we go. First off, intrigued to see the Usos as heels again, not sure what to think of that really. Ezekiel Jackson and Justin Gabriel is actually a pretty cool big man-little man team, hopefully we see more. Nice write-up for the match, by the way. Alex Riley and Cody Rhodes' segment was interesting, not sure about the alliance they have though. Again, Riley suddenly as a heel is weird to see. Brodus Clay beating JTG was expected, I liked it. Mason Ryan taking Clay out was different though, but brings to us Clay's first storyline in this run. Ryan as the heel is for the best really. Richie Steamboat debuting is good, hopefully you build him up with more than the 'next generation' gimmick. Nice way to kick off his career too, beating fellow next-generation superstar Tyson Kidd. So, who is the face here? Drew McIntyre or Cody Rhodes/Alex Riley? Kofi Kingston and Ted Dibiase sounded pretty good, and to top it off Dibiase winning is great. Not fond of you calling Michael McGillicutty 'Joe Hennig' though, it just isn't something that would happen. Justin Tyger and Kaitlyn...passable segment. I just can't adjust to these guys without you giving me some more background. Oddball six man tag team match, Booker T and Goldust in action is a strange one to see, too. Did like Kaitlyn getting the win over Kelly Kelly in the finish though. What I don't get is, why is Booker in action? I thought he was an announcer here as well (later on...). Lastly, good match between Drew McIntyre and Alex Riley to close the show, Wade Barrett with McIntyre? OK so now I'm confused as to which side is the face. Did like the twist of William Regal making the run in attack. Overall, it wasn't a bad show, I just can't get behind it too much; so much is different, the format, some of the superstars and their characters, plus the custom characters still put me off. If these are explained in further depth I can definitely get behind it.

OK let's get into this.
Zeke and Gabriel is a unique combination and one I think can work well if utilised well, them going over the Uso's is nice. I think the first person promo's were actually kind of poorly done throughout the show, they seemed forced and rather generic, with no real insight or capturing of the characters, it's something I do think either needs to be fixed or switched to a summary style promo. The Brodus Clay/Mason Ryan segment/match was well done and a feud between them should be interesting. Richie Steamboat debuting is cool and his debut was well done. Kingston/Dibiase sounded good and the right man went over to further this feud. 6 man tag sounded good and the teams make for a good combination and a good feud. Riley/McIntye was a good main event, the match was written out well and McIntyre going over his cool, the Regal attack post match was cool and a McIntyre/Regal/Barrett stable could be cool.
Overall it's a cool idea and it was executed fairly well, the booking and feud progression is good but there's a couple of things that could be fixed, if the character's are developed better then this could be a really good diary. Keep up with it though and I'll read some more of it.

WWE Superstars 1/25/12 Tucson, Arizona |
- The show opens to Justin Roberts standing in the ring, before lifting up his microphone.
Justin Roberts: Allow me to introduce to you…. The new General Manager of WWE Superstars……
Roberts lowers his microphone as silence furthers the anticipation. Suddenly, “All About The Power” plays before the Superstars GM walks out onto the stage.
Justin Roberts: David Otunga!
Otunga walks down the ramp, sipping from his coffee mug. He climbs in the ring, taking the microphone away from Roberts, who leaves the ring.
David Otunga: I am proud to come out here as the new General Manager of WWE Superstars. I guarantee under my watch, the vicious attacks from the wrestlers running around without supervision will cease. Superstars will now maintain order, and if the wrestlers in the back don’t maintain that order, I will step in and fix i-…
“Live And Learn” plays throughout the arena, cutting Otunga off, who looks none too happy about the interruption. Justin Tyger and Hafiz Abdurehman strut down the ramp. The two get in the ring, walking up to Otunga, offering handshakes. Otunga looks down at their hands, backing off from them. Tyger shrugs, as he grabs a microphone from Roberts.
Justin Tyger: What was that… Mr. Otunga, sir? We was just trying to show our respect to our new higher power!
David Otunga: Coming out and interrupting me will get no respect from me. Now what do you two want?
Justin Tyger: Well, we came out here to air our grievances about our match two weeks ago against Booker and Goldy.
David Otunga: ….the one your lost?
Justin Tyger: Yes, we lost, but that match was unfairly refereed. That referee stood and watched as Goldust low blowed me, a disqualification, and watched as those two allowed outside interference from Stevie Ray, another disqualification! I’ve said it all before, it’s all in the official pro wrestling handbook, all of that is grounds for disqualification! Those two should have been disqualified, and we should have been declared the winners!
David Otunga: and what would you like me to do about that?
Hafiz Abdurehman: We see it as only fair to grant us a rematch against them! I think we have shown sufficient evidence to earn another match.
David Otunga: You want another match? Alright, you got one… Tonight!
Tyger and Hafiz jump in celebration, high fiving mid air.
David Otunga: But… If you lose tonight… You won’t get another match with those two. This is the last time you two will get a match with them. If you two lose…. I guess we’ll have to start calling them the best tag team in WWE, huh?
Otunga grins at Tyger and Hafiz before leaving the ring, while Tyger and Hafiz stand shaking their heads, yelling they’re the best tag team. |

Wade Barrett: Tonight, is the beginning of the end of the current state of Superstars. Tonight, I will beat Cody Rhodes, and I will go on to defeat him again and win the Intercontinental Championship. With me, Drew, and now William, there will be no stopping us. We will take over WWE, we will reign supreme. This is the end of the days as you know them.

- We fade to the back, where we see Cody Rhodes standing in his locker room, looking down at his Intercontinental Championship laying across his shoulder.
Cody Rhodes: For weeks, I have dealt with McIntyre and Barrett. Last week we saw Regal join them. They say they‘re going to take over WWE. They say they‘re going to take my Title. No matter how many times you attack me, no matter how many times you attack Riley. We‘re not going to back down. We aren‘t going to allow you to take this any further. Tonight I face Barrett, and no matter how many people you have in your corner, Barrett. Not only will I defeat you. I will make up for every attack and that you three have hit me and Riley with. McIntyre you may have gotten the best of Riley last week, but neither you nor Barrett will ever get the best of me. This title will never leave my shoulder. I guarantee it. |

Kaitlyn: Last week, I pinned a former champion in Kelly Kelly, and this week, I just beat another former champion. I think that shows that I deserve a Diva‘s Title shot against you, Beth!
Beth looked at Kaitlyn, busting out laughing in her face, before her and Natalya left the ring, leaving Kaitlyn and AJ standing, Kaitlyn offended by the laughing answer. |
- We cut to the back, where we see a split screen of two hallways. On one side, we see Tyger and Hafiz, grins on their faces, cockily walking down the hall. On the other side, we see Booker T and Goldust shaking hands, before calmly walking to the ring, as “NEXT!” flashes on the screen. |

- We fade to the back, where Ted DiBiase and Joe Hennig stand in front of the interview area, ready for their Tag Team Championship match.

I love that David Otunga is the General Manager, he's definitely got the character for it. And a rematch from two weeks ago sounds good, and I expect Hafiz and Tyger to win this time around. Another good victory for Richie Steamboat, he could definitely go places in this, he's a great wrestler. So I assume that Cody Rhodes has become a face now? This storyline appears to be going that way, anyway. Pleased to see Brodus Clay on the winning team, as well as Ezekiel Jackson and Justin Gabriel, and to see Clay get revenge on Mason Ryan was good too. A shocking victory for Kaitlyn, I'm not a big fan of her so I hope she doesn't win the Divas Championship, personally. As expected, Hafiz and Tyger are victorious in their rematch, made sense for this to happen. Great to see that DiBiase and Hennig are receiving a WWE Tag Team Championship Match, but on their first attempt, I don't see them winning, but hopefully they do eventually. Cody Rhodes with another loss? Really hope he brings it back soon. Interesting Main Event for next week, I wonder who they will find to team with them? As expected, Air Boom retain this time, but I was shocked to see Hafiz and Tyger attack. I know they're your creations, but I really hope you don't just push them right to the top, because it's highly unrealistic and I do agree with Dan about not really liking them due to there being no background and stuff. Anyway, a good show overall.

WWE Superstars: Thursday 25th January 2012...I like the idea of David Otunga being the General Manager of Superstars. Otunga though...is he turning face or something? Or is that merely in Justin Tiger and Hafiz Abdurehman's nature? At this point they just remind me of the Dudebusters with more charisma. Good opening contest with JTG taking on Richie Steamboat, Steamboat taking the win got him over a fair bit, though I hope JTG remains relevant. This simple layout oddly works for you. I can actually handle the gruelling Verdana font. Wade Barrett, William Regal and Drew McIntyre's exchange was pretty well written and interesting, probably building to something later in the show. Next, seemed like a fantastic six man tag team match with Brodus Clay, Ezekiel Jackson and Justin Gabriel beating Mason Ryan and the Usos. Looks like Clay has his first feud as the Funkster. Cody Rhodes' promo was nice but simple. Again, who is the face? You should refer to crowd reaction in your writing, it will help the reader a lot, especially as you have mixed and matched around with the positions of certain superstars. Natalya beating Kaitlyn was obvious, hopefully we see Tamina join Superstars at some point. Kaitlyn is simply atrocious, and I have no time for her if she has a feud with Beth Phoenix over the WWE Divas Championship. Next up, great tag team match with Booker T and Goldust facing Justin Tyger and Hafiz Abdurehman. Man, I think WWE would have filtered Hafiz' name altogether just so it's easier to pronounce, I'm gonna try and avoid spelling 'Abdurehman'. Ted Dibiase and Joe Hennig still to come, I forgot about that. Cody Rhodes and Wade Barrett in action was plain and simple...what IS Alex Riley's relationship to Cody? I don't get it. I'm lead to believe that Barrett is the heel anyway. Interested in the six man tag team match coming up next week. We seem to have a six man tag match every single week though, mixing it up a bit would be nice. Great WWE Tag Team Championship defense by Air Boom against Ted Dibiase and Joe Hennig meanwhile, maybe a little too soon for Hafiz Abdurehman and Justin Tyger to challenge Air Boom though. I just can't get behind that, so I don't think they should win the titles. Overall, it's weird adjusting to a fantasy format of diary. Nice I suppose though. The occasional difference in opinion of what I would have done with the show, but your way worked too for the main part. We need more storyline development, I get Booker and Goldust's feud with Justin and Hafiz, but everything else is like you've mashed WWE into a blender or something.

Who Will Be The Third Man?- Last week, the new General Manager of Superstars, David Otunga removed William Regal from his commentator position, making him a full time wrestler, following his attack on Cody Rhodes during Cody's match with Wade Barrett, leading to Rhodes' loss. Otunga then made a match for this week's episode, putting Barrett, Regal, and Drew McIntyre against Rhodes, Alex Riley, and a mystery partner of their choice! Rhodes and Riley haven't gave any details on who their partner will be, but said they have a big surprise in mind! Otunga Addresses Tag Title Situation!- After defeating Booker T and Goldust last week, Justin Tyger and Hafiz Abdurehman attacked Tag Team Champions Kofi Kingston and Evan Bourne following their title defense, holding their titles high in the air, letting their intentions be known. General Manager Otunga has said he will address the situation this week! Will Tyger and Hafiz get the title shot they've wanted since their debut in November, or will their attempts to get under Otunga's skin come back to bite them? Clay And Ryan To Collide!- After going back and forth the past two weeks, Brodus Clay and Mason Ryan will do battle again! Can Clay defeat the monster another time, or will Ryan's new attitude guide him to victory? Can Kaitlyn Earn A Diva's Title Match?- Kaitlyn surprised everyone last week by defeating Natalya, and quickly challenging Beth Phoenix for her Diva's Championship! Beth answered her challenge with a laugh, leaving Kaitlyn without a shot. This week, Kaitlyn and AJ will have a rematch against Beth and Natalya! Will Kaitlyn further prove herself in the Diva's Title hunt, or will Beth knock her back down the ladder?

WWE Superstars 2/1/12 Omaha, Nebraska |
- We open the show to see Justin Tyger and Hafiz Abdurehman standing in the ring with microphones. They soak in the boos for a moment, as commentator Booker T introduces William Regal’s replacement to the TV audience, Byron Saxton. The two talk for a moment, before Tyger begins to speak.
Justin Tyger: Last week... We finally put an end to our feud with Booker T and Goldust, defeating them in this ring. Later that night, we took out the tag champions, Kingston and Bourne, to made sure everyone knew that we are still after those titles.
Hafiz Abdurehman: If there was any question about how great we are, about how much we deserve a tag team title shot, we proved all of you wrong when we beat Booker and Goldust. It is time for all of you to know that we are the best tag team in WWE, it is time for us to fulfill our prophecy. We've been in WWE since November, and it is finally time for us... to become the Tag Team Champions...
Justin Tyger: ...but unfortunately, we can't make the match ourselves, so at this time we would like to request the presence of one General Manager, Mr. Otunga.
Tyger and Hafiz stand waiting, until "All About The Power" plays throughout the arena. The General Manager of Superstars, David Otunga, walks out onto the ramp, microphone in hand.
Justin Tyger: Mr. Otunga, sir.. I know you saw last week, we me and Hafiz over here beat Booker and Goldust, and I know you saw us making a statement at the end of the night. After all o-..
David Otunga: You're right Tyger. I saw you and Hafiz win last week. That was impressive, but then I also saw you attack Kofi and Evan after their match. If you remember, the reason I was appointed Superstars General Manager, was to keep control over Superstars, and end the attacks we have been seeing. I will not be rewarding you for your attack. I will not be giving you two a title shot for beating the champions down after their match.
Hafiz Abdurehman: We showed Kofi and Evan who we are, we showed them that their reign as champions is almost over. We defeated a veteran team last week, we left the champions laying. You cannot deny that we are the best tag team in WWE. You cannot deny we deserve a tag team title match!
David Otunga: You do not deserve anything after what you did at the end of last week's episode, but being the... kind General Manager that I am, I will give you a chance to earn a title match... tonight. You two will wrestle the only other team to defeat you two here in WWE... Ezekiel Jackson and Justin Gabriel. The team that wins that match will challenge Kofi Kingston and Evan Bourne.
Otunga leaves off the stage, going to the back as Tyger and Hafiz cockily leave the ring, knowing they will win the match tonight! |
1. Richie Steamboat vs. Trent Barreta - Trent Barreta had a big challenge ahead of him tonight, in Superstars’ newest wrestler Richie Steamboat. Barreta tried to control Richie for the opening portion of the match, but Richie’s skill soon took him down. Richie hit Barreta with a number of chops and Arm Drags, before taking him with a big head kick! Steamboat climbed to the top rope as Barreta stumbled to his feet. Steamboat leapt into the air, nailing Barreta with a Diving Crossbody to win the match!
After the match, Richie stood tall in victory. He started to leave the ring, but the entrance of Ted DiBiase and Joe Hennig stops him. DiBiase and Hennig climb into the ring, both looking for a handshake from Steamboat, which Steamboat answers with a stare. DiBiase grabs and microphone before walking over to Richie.
Ted DiBiase: Richie Steamboat… I have to say, me and Joe have been watching your matches, and you have been impressing us. You are truly a great wrestler, just like your father was. In case you might not know, our fathers were great wrestlers also, as are we. We come from a bloodline made from wrestling. Richie, I think you are good enough to join me and Joe. Join us, as we show everyone out there that we are better than everyone else here, because we were born for this. What do you say, Richie?
Ted smiles at Richie, who takes no time in making his decision. He takes Ted’s microphone, slowly lifting it to his face.
Richie Steamboat: …..I came to WWE… to become greater than my father…. Not to live off of his legacy, like you two.
DiBiase and Hennig let out a chuckle at Richie, as he turned to leave the ring. DiBiase grabbed Richie, spinning him around and punching him in the face! Richie stumbled, as DiBiase went for another punch, but Richie blocked it, before Arm Dragging him! Hennig charged Steamboat, as DiBiase bailed from the ring. Steamboat caught Hennig with an Arm Drag of his own, before cracking him with a Superkick! DiBiase slid far enough in the ring to pull Hennig out, before helped him walk up the ramp. DiBiase stared angrily up at Richie, who looked down with a smile on his face. |
- We fade to the back, where Josh Matthews walks up to Wade Barrett.
Josh Matthews: Wade! Can I have a moment? Last week, you pinned the Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes, albeit with a little help from William Regal. Tonight, you, Regal, and Drew McIntyre will face Rhodes, Alex Riley… and a mystery partner of their choosing! Do you have any idea who it is, and are you worried about it?
Wade Barrett: You know what Josh, I couldn't care less who their partner is, and worried? Neither me, McIntyre, or Sir Regal will ever been worried about anything those two do. Since we formed, we have been kicking Rhodes and Riley‘s asses every week, and tonight will be no different. You brought up the point, that I did pin Rhodes last week, and you know what? I think that puts me in line for a shot at that Intercontinental Championship, hmm? Tonight, I will make sure David Otunga, and Cody Rhodes both know that I will be getting a shot sooner than later, one way or another.
Barrett smirks, before walking off. |
2. Beth Phoenix and Natalya vs. Kaitlyn and AJ - Beth Phoenix and Natalya showed their usual dominance throughout the match, keep AJ grounded. Natalya tried to hit AJ with a Suplex… but AJ slipped out of it, nailing Natalya with several elbows, before kicking her in the leg, sending her down to one knee.

- We fade backstage where Brodus Clay is standing in a hallways, half dancing while singing to himself. The camera catches his attention, as he lets out a huge smile.
Brodus Clay: Awww! Hello! It‘s the Funkasaurus here! Now, if ya‘ll have been watchin‘ the past few weeks, you woulda seen Mason Ryan bein‘ a big ole baby because he lost to the Funkasaurus!

- We cut backstage where Justin Tyger and Kaitlyn are standing outside of a door marked “General Manager“.
Justin Tyger: Come on.. You did great tonight, just go in and ask him! What’s the worst that can happen?
Kaitlyn: What if he says no?
Justin Tyger: Then you just pick up and go out and earn it. He made me and Hafiz earn our title shot, and we will tonight. Just go in and ask him.
Kaitlyn: I don‘t know…
Tyger shakes his head, knocking on the door, to Kaitlyn‘s shock.
David Otunga: Come in!
Tyger opens the door, guiding Kaitlyn into the room as we follow her in. She nervously walks up to the General Manager, who is sipping on his coffee mug.
David Otunga: Oh, hey Kaitlyn, you did a great job tonight. What‘s up?
Kaitlyn: Uhh… I was just thinking that… Since I beat Natalya last week and again this week, that… that might be enough for me to get that Diva‘s Championship match I asked for last week….
David Otunga: You know, I wanted to talk to you about that. I think you have impressed everyone enough to earn yourself a shot at the title. I‘m planning a big show in two weeks, and you‘ll get your shot then, good luck.
Kaitlyn: Oh… Thank you!
Kaitlyn smiles as she calmly walks out of the office back into the hallway where Tyger is waiting.
Justin Tyger: Well?
Kaitlyn: …. He‘s giving me a shot in two weeks!
Kaitlyn claps and jumps in her excitement, grabbing Tyger in a hug as he congratulates her. The two walk down the hallway, Kaitlyn still smiling. |
- We cut to a different section of the arena, where Cody Rhodes and Alex Riley are walking towards a locker room door. Before they can go into the room, Josh Matthews runs up to them.
Josh Matthews: Cody! Alex! I just have one question… Who is your partner going to be tonight?
Cody Rhodes: Well… you‘ll find out later tonight, but I can tell you one thing… With him on our side… There‘s no way McIntyre, Barrett, and Regal will win tonight.
Rhodes opens the door to the locker room, walking in as Riley follows.
Alex Riley: Hey, champ! You ready for tonig-..
The door closes behind them, as Matthews tries to peek in to see who Alex is talking to, but is unsuccessful. |
4. Brodus Clay vs. Mason Ryan - Brodus Clay came to the ring dancing with his Funkettes. The three got in the ring, but before they could dance, Mason Ryan clubbed Clay in the back of the head!

Clay and Ryan continued to trade punches back and forth! Referees and trainers ran to them, but were almost hesitant to get in-between the two. Finally, they tore the two apart, but each man tried to get in one last shot before being drug to the back. |
- We cut to the back, where Ezekiel Jackson and Justin Gabriel are standing in the interview area, ready for their match next.
Ezekiel Jackson: Ever since Tyger and Hafiz came to WWE, they have been claiming to be the best tag team in WWE. Well, they don‘t seem to remember that me and Gabriel beat them in one of their first matches, and since then we have been undefeated in tag team matches, as they went on to lose to Booker T and Goldust.
Justin Gabriel: Tonight, we wrestle you two again…. And we will defeat you two again… Since you are the best tag team in WWE, after we beat you twice… What will that make us?
Ezekiel Jackson: I think it‘s time to knock some sense into their heads…
Gabriel lets out a grin at Jackson, before the two start the walk towards the ring. |
5. Tag Team Championship Contendership: Justin Tyger and Hafiz Abdurehman vs. Ezekiel Jackson and Justin Gabriel - Hafiz and Gabriel started the match, locking up in the middle of the ring.

The two let out a grin as Justin Roberts called for their tag partner. The silence loomed, as the anticipation grew.
“I hear voices in my head….”
The crowd erupts as Randy Orton walks out onto the stage. Rhodes and Riley grin and laugh, as Barrett, who is no stranger to Orton, walks up to the edge of the ring, leaning over the ropes and yelling down at Orton as he walks up to the ring.

I like that Byron Saxton is making a return to WWE television, I always liked him as a commentator, and a wrestler actually. A nice opening segment, but I just can't get into David Otunga as a babyface General Manager, he's heel to the core in my eyes. Just everything about his character says heel. But I like the match that was made and I do see Tyger and Hafiz taking the victory. A good victory for Richie Steamboat over Trent Barreta, and I loved the post-match segment with Ted DiBiase and Joe Hennig. Steamboat is going to need some help if he's going to take on those two though. Cue another second generation superstar, perhaps? I liked the interview with Barrett, but I'm looking forward to seeing who Cody Rhodes and Alex Riley have chosen as a partner. I'm not liking how you're pushing Kaitlyn, tbh. I can't stand the girl, I think she's useless. AJ on the other hand, she's pretty good. I love Brodus Clay, but this could be his time to lose to the big Mason Ryan. A good victory for Kofi Kingston over JTG, keeps the WWE Tag Team Champions strong. God forbid Kaitlyn becomes Divas Champion, I'd actually cry. Perfect way to finish the Clay/Ryan match with a double countout, meaning that both men stay strong, but they have to have a blow-off match eventually. Very happy to see Ezekiel Jackson and Justin Gabriel with the victory, but I see Tyger and Hafiz getting involved in the WWE Tag Team Championships Match somehow. Randy Orton is a huge choice of partner for Riley and Rhodes, and definitely the right decision to have him win since this is on WWE Superstars. Overall, I liked the show, just not too keen on the Divas division which I think could be better, but it's not a huge problem.

OK I like David Otunga as GM, but I don't really like generic good guy follow the rules GM character you've got going for him, anyway decent opening promo that served it's point. Steamboat/Barretta was a good match, like Dibiase & Hennig coming out but seems weak of them to just live off their fathers legacy and say they'll be great like them, the heelish thing to do would be to mention that they'll be greater, they have no chance of getting over by merely mentioning that their fathers are great. Ooh Richie called them out on that, he immediately becomes my favourite character, but as I said saying you'll be better than the father seems heelish, looking forward to a feud between them though. Decent Barrett promo. I dislike Kaitlyn and can't get behind her title push. Nice Brodus promo. Kofi/JTG seemed like filler here. Liked the Brodus Clay/Mason Ryan match and the finish was nice and helps continue the feud. Like Ezekiel & Gabriel going over. Eh Orton is an alright choice, just can't see him adding anything to the long run for this feud since he won't be appearing regularly I assume, seems more like a plea to have tg11 reply . Anyway it's a definite improvement since the last time I read this, promos are a bit better in most cases although a couple of the characters still seem a bit dry and bland and I think you need to work a bit on establishing those characters and identifying the faces and heels. The matches were well written out and you seem to have a direction with some nice feuds and angles brewing, a couple things still seem a bit all over the place with no clear direction though, but overall I'd say good job.

I thought Otunga was gonna give Tyger and Hafiz the shot straight away, so that surprised me. Another surprise for me was to see Richie rejecting DiBiase's offer, I was expecting him to join them, but I'm excited to see where this goes. Good to see Kofi getting some momentum. Glad to see Kaitlyn get her shot, though I did expect that. Wonder what will happen next with Brodus and Ryan, a No DQ match, possibly? Tyger and Hafiz losing was even more shocking than what happened on the first segment. Never expected Orton to be the mystery partner, so good job on that.

Otunga To Announce Matches For 2/15 Episode!- Superstars General Manager David Otunga stated last week, that next week's of Superstars would be a big show, with multiple title defenses. Although some matches are known or rumored, Otunga will formally announce matches for the show. Riley Battles Barrett In Preparation Match.- Wade Barrett wants a shot at the Intercontinental Championship. If Otunga will give him a shot remains to be seen, but if Barrett even wants to get that far, he must go through Rhodes' right hand man, Alex Riley! If Barrett can defeat Riley, his name will definitely be in the hat for a title shot, but if Riley wins, Barrett will undoubtedly be knocked down a few rungs! Flying High With Gabriel and Bourne.- Last week we saw Ezekiel Jackson and Justin Gabriel earn a Tag Team Championship match against Kofi Kingston and Evan Bourne, which is rumored to happen next week. This week we will see two of the men in singles action, as two of the best high flyers in WWE today, Gabriel and Bourne, will collide in what is sure to be an aerial spectacle. Generational Clash Between Steamboat and Hennig!- Richie Steamboat turned down Ted DiBiase and Joe Hennig's offer to join their team last week, which lead to the pair attacking him, before he quickly fended them off. This week, Steamboat will square off against one half of the tag team, Hennig. Will Steamboat show that he is infact better than the two, or will Hennig and DiBiase make Richie wish he had joined their team?
