WWE SmackDown: Friday 9th March 2012...Hunico's career is basically a dead end from here. If only the WWE Cruiserweight Championship was still around...Epico with a win against Jimmy Uso was fine, was saddened that WWE missed the boat on giving the WWE Tag Team Championships to the Usos though. Theodore Long's promo was a nice, brief start interrupted by Mark Henry. I guess you're going to start this angle with Long being a bad General Manager very shortly before WrestleMania. I honestly think it's a little too late personally. Randy Orton and Sheamus against Mark Henry and Daniel Bryan? Not a bad idea, I guess. Tag team main events are boring though. R-Truth beating Wade Barrett was a great opening contest, glad to see Truth with the win. I'm liking your approach to the Money in the Bank match this year, everyone that has qualified so far (other than The Miz) has an equal chance of potentially winning, and being WWE or World Heavyweight Champion by the year's end. Brodus Clay beating Skip Sheffield by disqualification was wise, keeping Sheffield dominant; what bothers me however is, after the feud with Brodus, where does Sheffield go from there? What is his actual purpose being here? Ted Dibiase beating Cody Rhodes...didn't see that happening, but great upset by Dibiase. There is NO way that Dibiase will be winning the Money in the Bank ladder match though. Big Show and Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania XXVIII sounds fine, but to make this feud right, Show HAS to win. But I do hope that Cody isn't buried or squashed in that match. I'd dig Show as WWE Intercontinental Champion honestly. Justin Gabriel and Heath Slater would have been a good match, the right man went over, but I do hope that Slater develops a personality, he's improved a lot. I assume Gabriel will end up in the Money in the Bank ladder match. And lastly, good main event win for Sheamus and Randy Orton against Daniel Bryan and Mark Henry, but I hated Sheamus beating the World Heavyweight Champion. It's not the right angle you want to be going for on the way to a World title match at WrestleMania, the old 'challenger gets a win over the champ; fluke victory says the heel' scenario. You wanna be building Sheamus up as the man that is against all odds (let's face it, Sheamus can't make a good underdog against the tiny Daniel Bryan lol). But nonetheless, a decent show that did its' job well.

WWE Raw Supershow; March 12th, 2012 Dark Match Kenny Dykstra & Jayden Jeter defeat Tyson Kidd & Trent Barreta
WWE Superstars Tapings Mason Ryan defeats Curt Hawkins Divas Champion Beth Phoenix defeats Alicia Fox
“Yes, sir, we promised you a great Main Event…”
The boos of the WWE Universe are the first thing we hear as the scene fades in to show none other than John Laurinaitis grinning at the camera, stood alongside David Otunga who is also smirking. Laurinaitis begins to speak, as usual, introducing himself to the WWE Universe. He says that they are probably wondering why they are seeing this special message before Raw opens up, and he’s going to get right down to the point. He says that last week, he received a letter from the WWE Board of Directors and it was of very high importance. He says that he read through it over and over again to make sure what he was reading was genuine. He then tells the WWE Universe that he is going to read the letter to them now; “Due to the recent events concerning WWE Chief Operating Officer, Triple H and The Undertaker, the WWE Board of Directors have showed uncertainty over the leadership of Monday Night Raw. With Triple H’s mind focused on his upcoming encounter with The Undertaker at WrestleMania XXVIII, we feel that Triple H is no longer focused enough to do both that, and control Monday Night Raw. Therefore, the Board has regretfully decided to relieve Triple H of his Raw duties, giving him the opportunity to focus solely on his WrestleMania match”. The crowd erupt into boos as Laurinaitis chuckles a bit, but then says that he isn’t finished. He goes on to read, “As a result of Triple H being relieved of his duties, Monday Night Raw is left without a head figure, which brings us to our next point. After seeing his vast improvement over the weeks, making fair matches and showing impartiality, we hereby promote the current Assistant General Manager, Mr. Laurinaitis to the official General Manager of Monday Night Raw”. The boos get even louder as Laurinaitis smirks, David Otunga patting him on the back. Laurinaitis says that he is honoured to be in full control of Monday Night Raw, and says that he hopes the WWE Universe enjoy his show. The scene then fades to black as the WWE Universe are not happy at all.
CUE OPENING PACKAGE
The pyrotechnics explode as Michael Cole and Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler welcome us to the show. They say how that was a shocking announcement to open up Monday Night Raw and reminds us that John Laurinaitis is now in complete control of Monday Night Raw, and they then say that Triple H can not be happy about this decision. We are told that John Laurinaitis and #RAWGM are trending worldwide. They say that Triple H is yet to arrive at the arena tonight, but he will definitely be here later on. We are told that tonight, John Laurinaitis has already put his new powers into effect making two huge matches for tonight. We will see a Six-Man Tag Team Match which will put Dolph Ziggler, The Miz and Wade Barrett up against R-Truth, Ted DiBiase and Kofi Kingston! In addition, we will see Christian and the Intercontinental Champion, Cody Rhodes take on Rey Mysterio and the Big Show! Not only all that, but Kharma will be in action – tonight!
The theme of Chris Jericho hits to a ton of heat as he walks out onto the stage, and he is still in possession of CM Punk’s WWE Championship. He strolls down the ramp, smirking and rubbing the Championship belt, which is slung, over his right shoulder. He enters the ring and begins to speak. Jericho tells the WWE Universe that they better get used to what they’re witnessing right now, because after WrestleMania, this is what they will see for a very long time to come – Chris Jericho holding the WWE Championship. He says that if CM Punk was as good a Champion as he says he is, then he wouldn’t carelessly leave the WWE Championship lying around like that, and he would have fought to get it. He says that Punk is a coward, and that he didn’t even make an effort to get back his Championship because he fears Jericho. The crowd boo, but Jericho says it’s true, because CM Punk never for one second imagined that Chris Jericho would return to take back what is rightfully his, and so he felt like he could run his mouth, call himself the ‘Best in the World’, because he would never get told otherwise. But now, Jericho says he is back to not only crush CM Punk’s dreams of leaving WrestleMania as the WWE Champion, but to take back the name the ‘Best in the World’, as he is rightfully called. The theme of the WWE Champion, CM Punk hits to a huge pop as he walks down to the ring, shaking his head.
He stands across from Chris Jericho, saying that he can’t believe Jericho would actually stoop that low – stealing the WWE Championship. He says that if the only way Jericho can hold onto the WWE Championship is by stealing it, then he has shown the entire world that he is a thief and quite frankly, isn’t capable of earning it. The fans cheer as Jericho gets angry, saying that he stole the title to make a statement, and prove that CM Punk is a careless Champion, someone who doesn’t even care that he is Champion. Jericho says that he brought prestige and honour to the WWE Championship, he made Raw what it is today, but CM Punk disgraces everything that the WWE stands for, behaving like a rebellious child who thinks that being WWE Champion is some sort of game. Punk laughs, saying that Jericho is the one behaving like a child, returning to fight him over some nickname they both happen to have. He says that the reason he is the ‘Best in the World’ is because each and every week, he lays it down inside these ropes and he wrestles his ass off for the WWE Universe and for himself, because it’s what he loves to do. We are told that CM Punk & Chris Jericho is trending worldwide. He says that he spent a good couple of months rebelling against WWE management so that the WWE would become a better place, he adores the WWE and he is grateful for every opportunity he is given. Then he comes to Chris Jericho; a man who is only happy when he is winning titles and competing in Main Events, a man who is more concerned about four words than he is about actually proving what he can do, a man who can most definitely talk the talk, but has yet to prove that he can walk the walk. The WWE Universe pop as Jericho scowls at Punk, before saying that he doesn’t care what Punk has to say, because there will be no words come WrestleMania, there will only be actions, and when CM Punk is lying on the floor, screaming in pain after suffering the Walls of Jericho, he promises that Punk will never… ever, be the same… again. The two stare-off as the WWE Universe erupt, wanting things to break down. But Jericho backs off and then throws the WWE Championship in the air for CM Punk to catch. Punk catches it – BAM! Jericho uses the distraction to nail Punk with a huge Codebreaker! The WWE Universe look on as Chris Jericho stands tall above the WWE Champion. Jericho raises the WWE Championship before dropping it onto the chest of CM Punk and leaving as the scene fades to black.
Commercial Break.
We are shown a WrestleMania Countdown package which features clips from past WrestleManias before finally stating that there are twenty days until the Grandest Stage of them All!
Kofi Kingston, R-Truth & Ted DiBiase defeat Dolph Ziggler, Wade Barrett & The Miz; These six men have qualified for the Money in the Bank Ladder Match so far, and were looking to get some sort of advantage for themselves going into the match in just under three weeks. However, it seems that one of the teams wasn’t exactly on the same page. Wade Barrett and The Miz began arguing during the match, despite Dolph Ziggler trying to keep them on the same page, but it cost them the victory when Dolph Ziggler was unable to tag either of them due to them arguing on the outside, and turning into a huge Trouble In Paradise from Kofi Kingston for the victory.
Kingston, Truth and DiBiase celebrated their victory, Barrett and Miz noticing that they had lost. They slide in the ring as Ziggler gets to his feet, and Ziggler isn’t happy. He shouts at the both, holding his head before leaving them stood in the ring. Barrett goes to leave as well, but Miz pulls him back and BAM! Plants him with the Skull-Crushing Finale, obviously getting revenge on Barrett from this past Friday on SmackDown. Miz screamed “Awesome!” before leaving as we fade to black.
We see a graphic telling us that Kharma is in action on Raw – NEXT!
Commercial Break.
Kharma defeats Nikki Bella with Brie Bella; The Divas Champion, Beth Phoenix and Natalya were on commentary for this one, and it was pretty quick, as expected. The Bellas tried the switch technique, but Kharma has no problem taking out the fresh Bella too, planting Brie for the victory.
Kharma stood inside the ring and leaned on the ropes, staring out with a psychotic grin at Beth Phoenix, who simply stood up and raised her Divas Championship in the air, locking eyes with the big diva. A small graphic tells us that #KharmasGonnaKillYou is currentl trending worldwide. Phoenix and Natalya walked around the ring, leaving up the ramp, Kharma not taking her eyes off them for one second. We then fade to the backstage area.
Josh Mathews is backstage alongside Alex Riley to a pop. He says that Alex Riley will be in a Money in the Bank Qualifying Match up next against the United States Champion, Jack Swagger. He asks him what it would mean to him to compete at WrestleMania. Riley says he was honoured to be involved somehow in the Main Event last year, but to actually compete would be the greatest achievement ever for him, and he’s dreamed of this day. Suddenly, Jack Swagger walks onto the scene alongside Vickie Guerrero to a ton of heat. Swagger laughs, telling Riley that he doesn’t stand a chance tonight. Riley squares up to Swagger and tells him not to underestimate him because if he’s not careful, his arrogance will backfire on him, and he’ll put him and his dog away. The crowd erupt as Vickie’s jaw drops, in disbelief that she was just called a dog. She squeals “Excuse me?!” multiple times and Jack Swagger is forced to restrain her and pull her off screen. Alex Riley laughs to himself, and even Josh Mathews has a little giggle as we fade to black.
Commercial Break.
Money in the Bank Qualifying Match; United States Champion Jack Swagger with Vickie Guerrero defeats Alex Riley; Before the match begins, Cole and Lawler laugh as #VickieTheDog is trending. Riley certainly put up one hell of a fight, giving Jack Swagger a run for his money, but his insult to Vickie earlier only angered the All-American American, giving him more motivation. After many close calls with Riley very nearly taking the victory, Swagger was able to lock in the Ankle Lock, forcing Riley to tap out.
Jack Swagger and Vickie Guerrero celebrate the victory, but they aren’t through. Swagger gets Riley on his knees and holds his arms back, allowing Vickie to slap the taste out of his mouth! Swagger throws Riley to the canvas and both he and Vickie leave. We then fade to black.
We see a promo package hyping the match between The Rock and John Cena at WrestleMania XXVIII. It shows clips from the past, highlighting both men’s careers and both men’s rise to the top. We get a few words from WWE superstars such as Randy Orton, Triple H and Chris Jericho. It closes on a shot of the two staring off, face-to-face with anticipation in their eyes. We then return to Raw.
The scene cuts backstage where John Cena is walking down the corridor, smiling and slapping hands with some of the backstage workers. The WWE Universe pop as we are told that John Cena will address The Rock – NEXT!
Commercial Break.
The theme of John Cena hits to a huge pop tonight, coming out in his usual ways and pumping up the crowd. He slides into the ring and grabs a microphone, preparing to speak. He says that tonight is Monday Night Raw, the biggest show on TV, featuring superstars like CM Punk, Chris Jericho, Rey Mysterio, Triple H and himself, John Cena! The crowd pop, but then John Cena says that the names mentioned are here every week because they love the WWE, they’re here because the love the WWE Universe and the reactions they get, but there’s some people who just come here to promote their movies or get to higher place – people like The Rock. He gets a mixed reaction for that remark. Cena says that he knows he probably gets a bit repetitive when he comes out here and slates The Rock for not being here every week, but it’s true. If The Rock truly cared about the WWE and its fans, he’d be here and giving it his all every single week, just like he is. He says that The Rock is nowhere to be seen tonight, and it’s only three weeks to WrestleMania. Everybody knows that WrestleMania month is one of the most important months in the WWE year, yet The Rock can’t even take time out of his “busy schedule” for one Monday night, to come and stand face-to-face with his WrestleMania opponent and give the fans a confrontation they want to see. Cena says that he doesn’t care that The Rock has an external career, he doesn’t care if The Rock’s a Hollywood movie star, all he cares about is the WWE and giving the fans what they want, and he’ll be the first to admit the fans don’t want him out here ranting by himself, they want to see The Rock and John Cena verbally ripping each other apart. Cena says that with that being said, most of The Rock’s verbal attacks come from behind his Twitter account. Speaking of which, John Cena is currently trending on Twitter. He says that The Rock needs to come out here and says all that stuff about his “mangina” to his face, because he’d show The Rock the true definition of “boots to asses”. The crowd pop as Cena gets his fighting talk on. He says that The Rock constantly calls him a fake, but he doesn’t even know him, he doesn’t want to know him, never has. He says that The Rock never gives anyone who isn’t a famous actor the time of day, especially not John Cena. Cena says that he has no doubt that in the next twenty-four hours, The Rock will be on Twitter and insulting him left and right, but he doesn’t care, because he doesn’t need to go on the internet to tell The Rock how he feels, he’ll do it to his face, and he will never back down. He promises that in three weeks at WrestleMania, The Rock will get the shock of his life when he’s laid on his back, his shoulders on the mat and he sees John Cena standing over him with his hand raised in victory. Cena says that if The Rock wants some… he can come get some! Cena drops the microphone and taunts to a huge pop from the crowd as his theme plays. We are told that #TeamCena and #RockFearsCena are trending worldwide. We then fade to black.
Commercial Break.
We return to see the parking lot, where a limousine pulls up to a huge pop. The door opens and out steps – Triple H! The crowd erupt as Triple H has rage across his face. Josh Mathews rushes up to him to get a few words, asking him if he heard what John Laurinaitis had to say earlier. Triple H glares at Mathews before simply storming off, leaving Mathews quite intimidated. We then fade to ringside.
Santino Marella with Yoshi Tatsu defeats Primo with Epico & Rosa Mendes; This was a decent match, but relatively quick, coming to an end when Santino was able to hit Primo with The Cobra.
Santino and Yoshi celebrated the victory, but not for long as the WWE Tag Team Champions assaulted the two men. They raised their titles high as we fade to black.
Josh Mathews is once again backstage, this time alongside Rey Mysterio and the Big Show to a huge pop. He asks Mysterio how he feels about facing Christian at WrestleMania. Mysterio says that Christian has been sour ever since the Royal Rumble, and if it’s a WrestleMania match he wants, it’s a WrestleMania match he will get. He says that he can’t wait to shut Christian’s mouth. He then asks the Big Show if he thinks challenging Cody Rhodes to a WrestleMania match of his own on SmackDown as the right move. Big Show says that Rhodes wants to run his mouth about how Show is a WrestleMania failure, well he’s going to prove him wrong, and take the Intercontinental Championship in the process. The two leave and we fade to black.
Commercial Break.
Rey Mysterio & Big Show defeat Christian & Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes; These two feuds were smashed together for tonight’s Main Event and what a match it was. It seemed evenly matched, but when it came to the end, Cody Rhodes grabbed his Intercontinental Championship and left, leaving Christian to be hit with the 619, followed by a Chokeslam from the Big Show for the victory.
Mysterio and Show celebrated the victory, Show pointing to Rhodes who was on the stage, clutching his Intercontinental Championship to his chest, relieved that he’d escaped before any serious damage could happen to him. We then fade backstage.
Triple H is shown walking down the corridor, definitely not in the mood at all. Backstage workers leap out of his path as he storms through the arena. Triple H will speak – NEXT!
Commercial Break.
The theme of the Chief Operating Officer, Triple H hits to an enormous pop, but he’s clearly filled with rage. He storms down the ramp and grabs a microphone before beginning to speak. He shouts, saying that the WWE Board of Directors had no right taking away his rights to control Monday Night Raw, exclaiming that he had everything under control. He says that he was very capable of running Raw whilst preparing for his WrestleMania match with The Undertaker, and in fact, he blames The Undertaker for all of this. He says that The Undertaker forced him into the this match and now look what’s happened. He says that at first, he didn’t want to be the guy to end The Undertaker because he actually felt sorry for him. He was actually concerned for The Undertaker and he wanted him to go on and hold the torch for a few more years before he was ready to pass it on, but now – now he wants to end it. He says that he can’t wait to end the Streak, to end The Undertaker. He guarantees a victory at WrestleMania, and not only a victory, but he will end The Undertaker, as much as he will feel regret, but it has to be done, and ironically, The Undertaker has dug his own grave. Triple H then goes on to say how last week, Shawn Michaels tried to stick his nose in because he hates it when Triple H is in the spotlight and not HBK. He says that Shawn has gone back to his ranch and hopefully will keep out of this because it’s between him and The Undertaker, not Shawn. However, much to Triple H’s dismay… the theme of Shawn Michaels hits and the crowd go nuts!
Shawn Michaels comes down to the ring and confronts Triple H. He tells him that he doesn’t know where Triple H is pulling this “craving the spotlight” crap from, but it isn’t true. He came to Raw last week simply to confront Triple H and ask him why he thinks he can defeat The Undertaker when he couldn’t himself. Triple H says that Shawn was always out to win, and he knows that that isn’t how to defeat The Undertaker. To defeat The Undertaker, your goal shouldn’t be to win, it should be to kill. The crowd gasp as Triple H is showing a very sinister side tonight. He says that he must kill The Undertaker at WrestleMania in order to beat him, and put his soul to rest once and for all. Michaels says that Triple H went in last year and gave it everything he had, but he still couldn’t defeat The Undertaker, so why could he do it again? He says that he tried to do it twice and failed, Triple H has tried twice and failed. What makes them different? Triple H gets closer to Shawn and tells him that when it comes down to it… he has what it takes… Shawn doesn’t. Shawn’s eyes widen as the crowd are in complete shock. Shawn asks if Triple H is suggesting that he is better than him, to which Triple H replies “if the boot fits, Shawn”. Shawn looks down at the canvas before saying that maybe this shouldn’t be about Triple H versus The Undertaker… maybe the real problem here is Triple H… versus Shawn Michaels. The crowd erupt as Triple H shakes his head, saying that Shawn is retired, and this has nothing to do with their relationship. Shawn says he thinks that Triple H has developed this obsession with The Undertaker, simply because he thinks it will make him better than HBK. Before Triple H can respond… GONG!
The lights go off and The Undertaker makes his entrance to the biggest pop of the night. He enters the ring and grabs a microphone before beginning to speak. Hell in a Cell and #WM27 are currently trending worldwide. The Undertaker says that there are clearly some issues between Triple H and Shawn Michaels, but when it comes down to it, this is about WrestleMania, this is about his retribution and his revenge for what Triple H did to him at last year’s WrestleMania. Shawn Michaels says he has all the respect in the world for The Undertaker, and he knows that he will defeat Triple H at WrestleMania because nobody can end the Streak. Triple H steps between Shawn and Undertaker, facing Shawn and telling him that he should stop running his mouth just because he can’t stand the thought of Triple H having more success than him. Shawn tells him that he doesn’t need to run his mouth about it because it’s true – Triple H will lose at WrestleMania. Triple H scowls at Shawn and tells him to get out of his ring. Shawn shakes his head, saying that just like he said last week, Triple H has become a corporate sell-out, a Vince McMahon Jr. – a joke. Shawn drops the microphone as the fans gasp, Michaels leaving the ring and walking up the ramp, shaking his head. Triple H watches him leave with anger in his face, breathing heavily. Shawn doesn’t even look back, and just leaves behind the stage. Triple H turns around, bumps into The Undertaker and the two have a huge stare-off to a huge pop from the crowd. The Undertaker shakes his head at Triple H before taking his lave from the ring as well. Triple H is left standing alone in the ring, two of the men he respects the most in the WWE, walking out on him. Monday Night Raw fades to a close on a shot of Triple H stood alone in the ring, his face filled with rage.

WWE RAW Supershow: Monday 12th March 2012...Kenny Dykstra and Jayden Jeter? Eh, not my favourite idea for a tag team to bring in, but nevermind. Also, use your FCW roster to introduce a tag team. Feel sorry for Curt Hawkins losing to Mason Ryan, but oh well. Wonder where Tyler Reks was. Beth Phoenix beating Alicia Fox is fine, hoping Fox didn't hurt Beth's face this time. Fair opening promo to kick off the show, discussing the build for WrestleMania XXIV. Didn't do a lot for me though, good call for Triple H to be relieved of his role as COO of the company to feud with the Undertaker. Hopefully only temporarily though. Alright, the real opening promo was great, focused around CM Punk and Chris Jericho build, liked it a lot and it got their rivalry over even more. Nice opening contest with the six Money in the Bank participants so far in action, but boy, Ted Dibiase does not fit into this picture. Good win for Kofi Kingston, R-Truth and Dibiase against Dolph Ziggler, Wade Barrett and The Miz. Liking the tension between the heel team in this one too, every man for themselves at WrestleMania. Kharma beating Nikki Bella was what it was, like the Twitter trending feature by the way, I almost encorporated that into my own 2012 a few months back. Liked Alex Riley getting a say in against Vickie Guerrero and Jack Swagger, wonder where it leads. Jack Swagger was obviously beating Riley though, a fine addition to Money in the Bank despite the fact that he's obviously not winning. Wonder if Swagger and Ziggler will have miscommunication. Build that up in the actual match at WrestleMania, for sure. Up next, still not so sure about the Rock and John Cena getting the first hour main event slot, no matter how repetitive it is, they should really be main eventing the show with their promos. Mixes things up though I guess, Cena getting the better of Rock was cool. Hopefully it's Rock's turn next week. Santino Marella beating Primo was nothing, hopefully Santino gets a spot in WrestleMania, just as long as it isn't with Yoshi Tatsu facing Primo and Epico for the WWE Tag Team Championships. Rey Mysterio and the Big Show beating Christian and Cody Rhodes was solid, Show pinning Rhodes was a good move, too. Show needs the win at WrestleMania. I'd have placed this before Santino and Primo honestly, or maybe had another match. Great idea to have the Hell in a Cell match hype close out the show though, impressive write-up as well. Overall, a solid show this week, much better than last week. My only issue mainly is the Twitter trends, you should note them during matches too, as sometimes they can appear mid-match. Oh, and John Laurinaitis not having a proper role in the show after his announcement at the beginning. Nevermind.

| WWE SmackDown; March 16th, 2012 - Columbus, Ohio. |
“Yes, sir, we promised you a great Main Event…”Cue Opening Package.There are no pyrotechnics this week as we cut straight to the ring where Lilian Garcia introduces none other than the World Heavyweight Champion, Daniel Bryan to a ton of heat. ‘Ride of the Valkyries’ hits and he walks out, clutching his girlfriend AJ by the wrist, virtually dragging her to the ring, but smiling to the fans as he does it. The negative reaction doesn’t affect him as he enters the ring and then begins to speak. He says that last week, many people have said to him “you lost to Sheamus” and “you’re going to lose at WrestleMania”, but he says that Sheamus got a fluke victory over him in that Tag Team Match, and he was distracted by Randy Orton and Mark Henry. The crowd boo as Bryan tries to take away from Sheamus’ victory over him. Bryan says that the match should have been stopped when Orton and Henry left the match to take part in their own brawl, and therefore, Sheamus did not get a victory over him. The WWE Universe aren’t too happy about this, but Bryan smirks. He asks AJ for her opinion, but she seems too intimidated to speak. Bryan nudges her and tells her to say a few words on the matter, and just as she begins to speak, Bryan snatches the microphone away and continues what he was saying. He says that tonight, Sheamus will take on the World’s Strongest Man, Mark Henry while he and AJ are going to be taking the night off, and watch Sheamus get crushed from the comfort of Bryan’s own home. The crowd boo as Daniel Bryan bids farewell to the WWE Universe… Suddenly, the SmackDown General Manager, Theodore Long pops up on the screen and tells Bryan to stop right there. He says that he didn’t give Daniel Bryan the night off, in fact, Bryan has a match – right now! The crowd pop as Bryan looks on confused. Long says it’s only fair that if Sheamus is competing, then so should Bryan, and so he will be facing… this man. The theme of the Big Show hits to an enormous pop! Daniel Bryan goes mad in the ring as the Big Show walks out onto the stage, and it looks like after all this time, Big Show may finally be able to get his hands on the evil World Heavyweight Champion. Even AJ has a slight smirk on her face as we fade to a commercial break. Commercial Break.World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan with AJ defeats Big Show via Countout; The World’s Largest Athlete was loving his opportunity to finally get his hands on Daniel Bryan. That is until his WrestleMania opponent, the Intercontinental Champion, Cody Rhodes showed up. Rhodes appeared on the ramp with a microphone, insulting the Big Show, calling him a WrestleMania joke and that in little over two weeks, he is going to prove to the world that the Big Show, is the World’s Largest Failure. Big Show leaves the ring and goes to get Rhodes, but he flees up the ramp. Show stops at the top of the ramp, realising he’s in a match, and even though he runs his fastest back to the ring, the referee has already reached ten and the victory is handed to Daniel Bryan. The WWE Universe boo as Daniel Bryan is declared the winner. He raises the World Heavyweight Championship above his head in celebration as AJ stands beside him. Big Show turns to the stage where Cody Rhodes is back out, smirking and applauding with his Intercontinental Championship over his shoulder. Big Show shouts that he’s going to get Rhodes as we fade to black. We are shown a WrestleMania Countdown package which features clips from past WrestleManias before finally stating that there are sixteen days until the Grandest Stage of them All! We return to commentary where we are told that tonight, we will see an Open Battle Royal to determine the final entrant into the Money in the Bank Ladder Match at WrestleMania, featuring both Raw and SmackDown superstars. We then fade to black. Commercial Break.Natalya with Divas Champion Beth Phoenix defeats Kelly Kelly with Tamina; This was a pretty quick divas match which saw Kelly Kelly submit to Natalya’s Sharpshooter, ending the match. Afterwards, Beth Phoenix motioned to the WrestleMania and raised her Divas Championship. She then grabbed Tamina who was checking on Kelly Kelly and planted her with the GlamSlam! Natalya and Phoenix laughed at the two divas on the canvas before leaving. We then fade to black. Backstage, Matt Striker is standing alongside the seven competitors currently in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Kofi Kingston, Dolph Ziggler, Ted DiBiase, R-Truth, The Miz, Wade Barrett and the United States Champion, Jack Swagger all stand in a line as Striker approaches Barrett. He asks Barrett who he thinks has the best chance of winning tonight’s Battle Royal. Barrett says he doesn’t care who win, because just the like the six men stood beside him, they will be defeated at WrestleMania. Kofi Kingston steps forward and says that Barrett shouldn’t get too cocky because a ladder match is not an easy match to win. Barrett laughs, but then Jack Swagger steps in, asking how Kingston would know because he’s never actually won one. Swagger says that he knows what it takes to win, and he’s going to do it again at WrestleMania. The Miz then butts in, saying that Swagger may be a former winner, but he clearly doesn’t know how to handle the briefcase once he’s got it, having one of the most forgettable World Heavyweight Championship reigns in history. Ted DiBiase then says that it’s not about experience, because the Money in the Bank Ladder Match is all about being in the right place at the right time. Everyone starts arguing when suddenly… “SHUT UP!”. The arguing stops and the superstars part like sea to reveal R-Truth who gets a huge pop. Truth walks between the six superstars looking at each of them with a look on confusion. Truth then says that all this arguing is hurting his head, because he can’t cope with everyone talking at once, so let’s take it in turns. Everyone looks at each other before Truth says “Little Jimmy can go first…” crouching down and apparently looking at Little Jimmy… despite nothing being there. The six superstars slowly back away, Matt Striker too, leaving Truth to have his own conversation with Little Jimmy. Strange stuff. We see a promo package which highlights the careers of The Rock and John Cena, showing both their rises to the top. It closes on a shot of the two having a stare-off with the WrestleMania logo looming behind them. Commercial Break.Money in the Bank Qualifying Match; Justin Gabriel defeats Drew McIntyre, David Otunga, Mason Ryan, Curt Hawkins, Tyler Reks, JTG, Percy Watson, Titus O’Neil, Hunico, Camacho, Trent Barreta, Tyson Kidd, Ezekiel Jackson, Heath Slater, Hornswoggle, Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, Derrick Bateman, Darren Young, Jinder Mahal, Johnny Curtis, William Regal, Skip Sheffield & Brodus Clay; The match is an all-out brawl with a mass of twenty-six superstars going at it for a chance to compete at WrestleMania. The main parts of the match saw Curt Hawkins and Tyler Reks eliminate The Usos, only to be eliminated by a double clothesline from Mason Ryan. Skip Sheffield managed to eliminate Brodus Clay from the match as well, but instead of continuing to compete, he eliminated himself and continued to brutally assault Brodus on the outside. The final four came down to Drew McIntyre, David Otunga, Mason Ryan and Justin Gabriel. McIntyre and Otunga decided to form an alliance, attacking Gabriel, but Ryan wasn’t letting this happen and helped Gabriel fight them off. Mason Ryan managed to throw David Otunga over the ropes but was then eliminated by Drew McIntyre, leaving us with the final two of McIntyre and Gabriel. They fought it out and it looked like McIntyre could win, but McIntyre’s own momentum sent him flying over the top when he ran at Gabriel, but Gabriel pulled down the ropes and got the victory. Justin Gabriel couldn’t believe it, finally he has made it to WrestleMania after weeks of trying. He celebrates his victory, much to the dismay of Drew McIntyre on the outside. Justin Gabriel got on the top rope and pointed to the WrestleMania sign, the Money in the Bank Ladder Match now completely set. We then fade to a commercial break. Commercial Break.Santino Marella & Yoshi Tatsu defeat WWE Tag Team Champions Primo & Epico with Rosa Mendes; This past Monday night on Raw, Santino Marella was able to defeat Epico in singles action, and tonight, he and Yoshi Tatsu got their chance to show they’re contenders for the WWE Tag Team Championships, and they did just that by defeating the Champions in a non-title match. Yoshi was able to get the victory after drilling Epico in the head with a huge Buzzaw Kick. Santino and Yoshi celebrated the victory as the WWE Tag Team Champions left, being tended to by Rosa on the outside. Santino and Yoshi are certainly contenders for the WWE Tag Team Championships after tonight. We then fade backstage. Matt Striker is once again backstage, this time alongside the 2012 Royal Rumble winner, Sheamus to a huge pop. He asks Sheamus how it felt to get a victory over the World Heavyweight Champion last week. Sheamus says it definitely made him feel more confident about WrestleMania, and he plans on having the same result when it’s for the World Heavyweight Championship. Striker then reminds us of tonight’s match with Mark Henry, and asks Sheamus if he’s at all intimidated by the dominant World’s Strongest Man. Sheamus says he isn’t intimidated, he’s faced Mark Henry before and he’s going to take on the challenge with focus and determination. Sheamus turns to leave, but bumps into the World Heavyweight Champion, Daniel Bryan to a ton of heat. Bryan wishes Sheamus good luck in his match with a sinister grin across his face. Sheamus laughs before leaving as Bryan and AJ stand, the scene fading to black. Commercial Break.Mark Henry defeats Sheamus; This was certainly a clash for the ages. These two goliaths went back and forth, toe-to-toe, but Daniel Bryan just couldn’t keep his nose out, coming down to the ring and standing by ringside near the commentary desk, alongside AJ. Bryan appears to whisper something to AJ, and she looks really scared and clearly doesn’t want to do it, but Bryan shouts at her and she does it… jumping onto the ring apron. The referee approaches her to get her to get down, but Bryan takes advantage and slides into the ring and BAM! He drills Sheamus with the World Heavyweight Championship, then rolling under the ropes and leaving the ring. AJ jumps down and Bryan drags her off, leaving up the ramp with a smirk across his face. Mark Henry gets to his feet and sees Sheamus down, looking up the ramp at Bryan with a scowl. Even Henry didn’t want to win via cheating… so he lifted Sheamus up and planted him with the World’s Strongest Slam before getting the victory. The crowd boo as Mark Henry has got a victory over the #1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania. Sheamus rolls out of the ring, holding his head, still reeling from the title shot. He looks up the ramp in anger at Daniel Bryan who is laughing so much. AJ clearly feels extremely guilty, but Bryan doesn’t care. Mark Henry stands tall in the ring, shouting that he’s “the man”. However, out of nowhere, Randy Orton shows up and slides in the ring… BAM! Orton delivers an RKO to Mark Henry to a huge pop from the crowd. Orton gets revenge for the past two weeks of Henry standing tall, and returns the favour, standing tall over the World’s Strongest Man this week on SmackDown. These two feud are becoming extremely personal. SmackDown then fades to black. © 2012 World Wrestling Entertainment. All Rights Reserved.

So I've been reading through this, and i really like it. The WWE.com graphics are awesome, the twitter updates are cool, and the segments and matches are extremely well written. I'll get into much more details in my reviews for single shows though.

| WWE Raw Supershow; March 19th, 2012 - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. | Dark Match: Kenny Dykstra & Jayden Jeter defeat The Usos. |
“Yes, sir, we promised you a great Main Event…”Before the show starts, we see a recap of what happened last week with John Laurinaitis taking charge of Raw as Triple H was relieved of his duties. We then see what went down at the end of the show between Triple H, Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker, the Chief Operating Officer losing his temper and erupting live on Raw, showing a completely different side to him. The scene fades on a shot of Triple H standing in the ring alone as The Undertaker and Shawn leave him, not even looking back, disgusted in Triple H’s behaviour. Monday Night Raw then opens up. Cue Opening Package.The pyrotechnics explode as the WWE|HD banner flashes across the screen, the camera scanning over the sea that is the WWE Universe. Michael Cole and Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler welcome us as we are told that tonight – The Rock is in attendance! He will respond to John Cena’s remarks from last week when The Rock was unable to join us. And speaking of John Cena, tonight he will be in action as he will go head-to-head – with Chris Jericho in the Main Event! Suddenly, the theme of the WWE Champion, CM Punk to a huge pop. Punk stands in the ring and says that in just two weeks, he will defend the WWE Championship against a man who has tried to accuse him of stealing and pretending to be someone he is not, Chris Jericho. He says that last week, Chris Jericho stood in this ring after stealing the WWE Title the previous week, so how can he accuse anyone of being a thief? Punk says Jericho chooses to believe that he was the inventor of calling themselves the ‘Best in the World’, and that nobody did it before him. He reminds everybody of the legendary WWE Hall of Famer, Bret ‘The Hitman’ Hart to a huge pop, saying that he was calling himself the ‘Best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be’ long before Chris Jericho even set foot in a ring. He says that Chris Jericho is a unique superstar, that is without question, but to claim ownership of being ‘the best’ is ridiculous, and quite shallow to say the least. Punk says that at WrestleMania, the world will find out who truly is ‘the best’. Cole tells us that Bret Hart and #BestInTheWorld are trending worldwide on Twitter. CM Punk drops the microphone and goes to leave, but suddenly, John Laurinaitis comes out onto the stage to a ton of heat. “My name is Mr. John Laurinaitis. I am the Executive Vice President of Talent Relations and the official General Manager of Monday Night Raw”. Laurinaitis tells CM Punk that what he just heard was very moving, and he personally can’t wait to see Punk take on Jericho at WrestleMania. But Punk shouldn’t go anywhere, because he has officially put him in a match – right now. Punk isn’t too happy about this decision, not prepared to compete. Laurinaitis steps aside and the theme of Christian hits the arena. The crowd boo as Christian comes out onto the stage with a grin on his face, shaking hands with John Laurinaitis as he passes. CM Punk looks on in anger as we fade to a commercial break. Commercial Break.WWE Champion CM Punk defeats Christian via Disqualification; We returned to the match to see the two already in action. Back and forth they went, until the advantage appeared to be going Punk’s way. He hit the shining wizard in the corner, followed by the bulldog and looked to be finishing Christian off. He stalked him, ready for the Go To Sleep, but then suddenly – BAM! Punk is attacked from behind by Chris Jericho, forcing the referee to ring the bell for the disqualification. Chris Jericho stomped down on Punk, and Christian joined in, the old alliance of Jericho and Christian reuniting for the moment. The crowd erupted as Rey Mysterio hit the ring, attacking both Chris Jericho and Christian. CM Punk gets to his feet and this is when Jericho bails from the ring, leaving Christian alone with Punk and Mysterio. Mysterio hits the 619 on Christian, sending him back into Punk who drops him with the Go To Sleep! Punk’s theme hits as he points up the ramp at Chris Jericho, promising him that he too would feel the Go To Sleep very soon. Jericho simply smirked, knowing that he got out unscathed. Mysterio and Punk taunted to the crowd as we fade to black. We are shown a WrestleMania Countdown package which features clips from past WrestleManias before finally stating that there are thirteen days until the Grandest Stage of them All! We cut backstage to see John Laurinaitis and David Otunga in their office, smiling. Otunga says Laurinaitis’ decision to put Punk in a match was genius, and Laurinaitis thanks him. Suddenly, the World’s Strongest Man, Mark Henry walks in to a huge amount of heat. He says that Laurinaitis wanted to see him and John nods. He welcomes Henry to Raw and tells him that he has seen how terrible Theodore Long has been treating him over the past few weeks, so he wants to give him a little rest from that and show him how a proper show runs, giving Henry a match up next. Henry says he’s fine with that, but then says that he wants something else that Long probably won’t give him. Laurinaitis asks what that is, and Henry says that he wants a match with Randy Orton at WrestleMania, which gets quite a pop. Laurinaitis looks at David Otunga before saying that if that’s what Henry wants, then that’s what Henry will get, and officially books Randy Orton versus Mark Henry at WrestleMania to a pop from the WWE Universe. Laurinaitis then tells Henry to go out there and enjoy himself in his match up next. Henry leaves and Laurinaitis says that with him in charge, he wants all the WWE locker room to see how much better the WWE is under his control. Otunga smiles and nods as we fade to a commercial break. Commercial Break.Mark Henry defeats Alex Riley; This was a fairly quick match which saw Mark Henry destroy poor Alex Riley with his brute strength. We are told that Randy Orton is currently trending worldwide. He finished Riley off with the World’s Strongest Slam for the victory. Mark Henry celebrated his win, but not for long, as the theme of Randy Orton hit to a huge pop! Orton hit the ring and began trading blows with Henry. Henry went for the World’s Strongest Slam, but Orton slipped over Henry’s head and BAM! Nailed him with a huge RKO! Henry rolls out of the ring, holding his head as Randy Orton stood tall inside the ring as his theme played. Orton leant on the top of, psychotically smirking at Henry who was backing up the ramp in anger. We now know that these two men will face off on the grandest stage of the them all – WrestleMania. We then fade to black. We see a video package which highlights the careers of both The Rock and John Cena and their rise to the top. It closes with a shot of them face-to-face under the light of the WrestleMania sign. We then return to Raw. Josh Mathews is backstage alongside The Miz to a ton of heat. Mathews says that he and fellow Money in the Bank participant, Wade Barrett have been having some disagreements as of late, despite being aligned recently and asks why that is. Miz says “Really?” before telling Josh that Wade Barrett is just another opponent in that match, and any “alliance” they may appear to have is simply down to being forced to compete together. Miz says that at the end of the day, everyone knows that The Miz is the greatest competitor in that match and is guaranteed to walk out with the briefcase for a second time. Miz then says that he will take on one of his opponents, Kofi Kingston up next, and he will show everyone exactly why he is going to win, because he’s “awesome”. Miz leaves and we fade to a commercial break. Commercial Break.Kofi Kingston defeats The Miz; These two have had many battles in the past, and all have been very competitive. It appears on our screens that #MITB is trending worldwide. Tonight, it was exactly that, until Wade Barrett decided to show his face and distracted The Miz from the match, allowing Kofi Kingston to hit the Trouble In Paradise for the victory. Kofi Kingston celebrated, but not for long as Barrett decided to assault Kofi Kingston from behind. Barrett stood tall over both Kingston and Miz, but that’s when Ted DiBiase and Justin Gabriel rushed to ringside, but somehow Barrett managed to take them both down with big boots and clotheslines. It was R-Truth who came out next and was able to drop Barrett with the Shut Up!, laying him out. The crowd popped as R-Truth stood tall, but then – BAM! He is drilled from behind by Jack Swagger with the United States Championship, followed by a ZigZag from Dolph Ziggler. Ziggler and Swagger stand tall in the ring alongside Vickie Guerrero to a ton of heat. However, their attention soon turns to each other and they starts arguing, both pointing at the WrestleMania sign, Vickie trying to stop them both. Raw then cut to the commentary desk. We are told that up next, we will see a message from The Undertaker! Commercial Break.We return to see complete darkness, but we can hear The Undertaker’s voice. He says “In thirteen days, the WWE will take a trip to hell”. The lights come on, but only slightly so we can see Undertaker’s face in a very dark room. He is wearing his hooded coat. He says that in just thirteen days, he and Triple H will take part in one of the most hellacious matches in WWE history, all in the name… of vengeance. He reminds the WWE Universe of his Hell in a Cell past, claiming to be the master of Hell in a Cell matches, saying that it is “his domain”. Undertaker says that he will walk out of WrestleMania with the Streak still intact, and 20-0 shall be reached. He says how Triple H vows to be the one to end the Streak, and that he knows exactly how to do it, but he of all people should know that the Deadman is ever-changing, and what may work one time, will not work another. He says that last year was the closest he has ever come to being defeated, and he promises that it will not come that close again. The Undertaker says that in thirteen days, both he and Triple H will be confined between steel walls, walls that would normally hold in two competitors, but he knows that even the walls of Hell would not hold the two of them. He acknowledges the fact that this would be the end of an era, it would be the end of what they know, but it must be done. He says that the WWE is no longer big enough for the both of them, and one of them must fall… and it won’t be him. The Undertaker says “a Deadman cannot die, but a Game can be finished”. The WWE Universe erupt. He says that come WrestleMania 28, it will be the end of Triple H. After a rather long pause, The Undertaker raises his head to reveal his entire face. He rolls his eyes back into his head and simply says “Game Over”, followed by thunder and lightning in the arena. The WWE Universe go nuts as the scene fades to black. Commercial Break.We return to commentary where Michael Cole says that over the commercial break, #HIAC and #GameOver became worldwide trends. Divas Champion Beth Phoenix with Natalya defeats Kelly Kelly; A very quick divas match here, Phoenix finishing Kelly Kelly off with the Glam Slam for the victory. Beth Phoenix and Natalya celebrated, Phoenix pointing to the WrestleMania sign and raising her Divas Championship high, sending a message to Kharma. We then cut backstage. Josh Mathews is once again backstage, this time alongside John Cena to a huge pop. He asks Cena if he can possibly be focused on his match with Chris Jericho knowing that The Rock is in attendance tonight. Cena laughs, saying that obviously The Rock is on his mind, but he doesn’t completely engulf his thinking believe it or not. He says that The Rock can quite easily be shoved to the back of his mind for more important things like right now. Cena says that The Rock can wait, because tonight, he plans on entertaining the WWE Universe like he loves to do and beat Chris Jericho. You know… like The Rock is too “Hollywood” to do now so he only competes when the paycheque is huge. Cena then leaves, having taken his shot at The Rock and we fade to black. Commercial Break.John Cena defeats Chris Jericho; These two have had some huge matches in the past, and this was no different. They went back and forth, Cena showing no ring-rust despite not competing in a few weeks. Suddenly, the WWE Champion came out and stood by ringside. Chris Jericho became distracted when CM Punk put Jericho’s light-up jacket on and started celebrating with the fans at ringside. We are told that #TeamCena is trending worldwide. This angered Jericho and he lost his concentration, walking right into an Attitude Adjustment from John Cena for the victory. John Cena celebrated as CM Punk smirked into the ring at Jericho. Punk left up the ramp, still wearing Jericho’s jacket for comedic purposes. Jericho looked angry and left the ring, storming after CM Punk as John Cena laughed and continued to celebrate with the WWE Universe. The scene then fades to black. Commercial Break.We return to see John Cena still in the ring, but with a microphone now. He says that he’s finished now, and if The Rock wants to make his grand entrance, then feel free. He says he can’t wait to hear what he has to say, but then says he can probably guess. Cena says Rock will probably make some joke about the colour of his t-shirt, then attack his sexuality, and maybe, just maybe, might even make a joke about his mom, or even worse, he might say “My dad’s better than your dad”. The WWE Universe have to laugh at Cena making fun of The Rock, simply because it’s true. But cut the jokes, it’s time… The Rock’s theme hits to a huge pop. The Rock comes out and taunts to the fans, John Cena smiling and applauding him as he does. Rock then stands across the ring from Cena and begins to speak. The Rock says that John Cena makes a good point, he needs new material. He says that “fruity pebbles” has run its course, despite it probably trending worldwide in the next two minutes. The crowd laugh. He says that he does need something new. Rock says that John Cena just has so many possible humiliation targets; it’s hard to choose the best ones. He says that while he thinks of something good, he wants to say that last week; John Cena once again took a shot at how he is here every single week, while The Rock is not. Rock says that he knows he isn’t here every week, he knows that he can’t compete here in Main Events on Raw, but it isn’t because he doesn’t want to, it’s because he has an extremely busy schedule. Cena laughs and says “here we go, Mr. I’m too busy to come and do what I supposedly love”. Rock shakes his head and says that it isn’t like that, because the WWE Universe know that he loves them, and they know that if the situation was different, he would be here each and every week to kick John Cena’s ass all the way across the globe. The crowd pop. We are told that Rock Bottom is trending worldwide. He says that he has contracts to fulfil, he has movies to make and he has a family to support, and if John Cena can’t appreciate that then he’s just going to have to get over it. He says that he doesn’t need to be on Raw or SmackDown every week to love the WWE, he doesn’t need to compete on Pay-Per-Views or win the WWE Championship because he’s done it all. He says that he’s been at the very bottom of the WWE, and he’s been at the very top of the WWE, at one point, he was even told by these very people to “Die, Rocky, Die”, but he continued to perform for them because he loved them, and it paid off because here he is now, on top of the world and the people chanting his name. As if by magic, a “Rocky” chant starts and John Cena nods, smiling. Cena says that he remembers all that, he knows that The Rock has done it all, but so has he. John Cena says he’s won the WWE and World Heavyweight Championships numerous times, he’s won the Royal Rumble, he’s Main Evented WrestleMania, and he too has been at the very bottom of the pile, reminding everyone of how he was booed out of the Hammerstein Ballroom in 2006 and still to this day, there are people who hate his guts, but he too carries on, but the difference is, he stays here because it’s where his heart lies. We are told that Cena & Rock is trending worldwide while #Raw is the #1 trend on Twitter. The Rock says and his heart also lies with the WWE Universe, but he doesn’t need to be here every week to show that. Cena tells him that regardless of whether he’s here every week or not, he still left the WWE and never looked back once his movies took off. He took the money and ran. Rock says it was never about the money, or the fame. He says he wanted to do something new, and the opportunity arose. He says that he and Vince had a long discussion and parted ways on good terms while Cena was still wearing tight trunks and calling himself “Prototype”. Cena chuckles and says that The Rock still left, and now he comes back, gets handed the Main Event of WrestleMania and he can guarantee that as soon as it’s over, he’ll go back to Hollywood and won’t come back until WrestleMania 29, just in time for another large payment. Rock squares up with Cena and tells him that the money has nothing to do with it because he’d quite happily put his boot to Cena’s ass for free. The WWE Universe pop and Cena says he doesn’t care if he’s been paid or not, the result at WrestleMania will still be the same, and he will defeat The Rock. The Rock begs to differ. Cena says that if he loses at WrestleMania, he loses everything, and he isn’t going to let that happen. He Rock backs up and says that WrestleMania is only two weeks away, that’s two weeks until we finally get to see who can back up what they are saying. Rock then says going back to his original point; he does need something new, something fresh, something like… this. The Rock drops the microphone and unloads on Cena as the WWE Universe erupt! The Rock delivers multiple right hands, but Cena blocks one and delivers some rights of his own. The two then begin to trade blows, an all-out brawl starting. John Cena has The Rock on the ropes and runs at him, but Rock pulls down the ropes and Cena flies over. Cena then backs up the ramp as The Rock’s theme plays. Instead of anger, Cena smirks at The Rock, wagging his finger and saying “just wait until WrestleMania” and The Rock replying “See you soon, John”. The Rock climbs the turnbuckle and taunts to a huge pop as Cena leaves up the ramp. Cena taunts at the top of the ramp and also gets a pop. Both men stare off as Monday Night Raw fades to a close. © 2012 World Wrestling Entertainment. All Rights Reserved.

WWE SmackDown: Friday 16th March 2012...What, no Superstars results? I like the layout, but you could have still fitted them in somewhere. Daniel Bryan's promo was quite good, did like his handling of AJ though. More focus on Sheamus was fine in addition. The Big Show being brought out to face Bryan is nice; but man Bryan needs to start actually main eventing SmackDowns. Bryan beating Big Show was pretty cool, liked the screwy count-out finish due to Cody Rhodes' presence. Natalya beating Kelly Kelly didn't do a great deal for me, Beth Phoenix dominating with Natalya was a cool move. Up next, great way to open up the second hour with the final Money in the Ban qualifying spot. Justin Gabriel I was glad to see win it, even though he's not going to win the ladder match. Did like how close Drew McIntyre came though. I don't think William Regal should have been featured in this match. Santino Marella and Yoshi Tatsu beating Primo and Epico; this feud is getting a little interesting, as WrestleMania XXVIII closes in. Mark Henry beating Sheamus was a hard-hitting main event, Bryan with dominance was nice however. I guess Randy Orton and Henry needed a platform to promote their feud, fine close to the show I suppose. Not a bad episode, it seemed very quick to read.
WWE RAW Supershow: Monday 19th March 2012...Kenny Dykstra and Jayden Jeter in the dark match again, fine win I suppose. Not sure about "Jayden" as a first name for Jeter though. The Usos really need to do something. Another reason why you should post NXT results, hurhurhur. CM Punk's promo was quite entertaining to kick off, not so sure how I feel about John Laurinaitis returning to get in his way though. Christian and Punk? Sounds great, they've never really had an encounter have they? Good opening match with CM Punk and Christian, did like Chris Jericho getting involved, remains me a lot of Jericho and Christian's alliance a few years back. Mark Henry with a squash win didn't do a lot for me, Alex Riley really needs revitalizing. Randy Orton's attack was expected, now that their match for WrestleMania XXVIII is made. Kofi Kingston beating The Miz was fine, didn't do too much, just forwarded the Money in the Bank ladder match picture. Involvement from all participants in the aftermath seems like too much though. I bet we see an eight man tag team match on SmackDown or next week on RAW. The Undertaker with a vignette mixes up their Hell in a Cell match sounds good, liked how it was written a lot. Beth Phoenix beating Kelly Kelly wasn't really much of anything, erased their credible feud over the WWE Divas Championship last summer, but hey, this is Mania build. John Cena beating Chris Jericho was a decent match, Cena needed the win, and Punk with retribution was a nice touch. Great promo with The Rock and Cena, liked them making contact at last, Rock with the upper hand was a good move. Overall, it was a good RAW, nothing that special, just general build for WrestleMania. Onto WWE Superstars (yes!), Percy Watson beating JTG I dislike a lot. Watson is boring in the ring and on the microphone. JTG on the other hand, could do wonders. You should consider teaming him with Hunico, would make an interesting match. Mason Ryan beating Tyler Reks makes me sad, keep pushing for Reks and Curt Hawkins.

This looks absolutley brilliant and deserves to be spotlight. Just great content and layout. I'll just reply to Raw since that is your most recent show. Kenny and Jeter in the dark match is odd unless I missed something like them resigning. Esp winning over established side. Like all the opening, all the little bits like the opening package and adverts are great. Good opening exchanges between Y2J and Punk. Don't like the Twitter bits, they seem pointless to me, although dunno if that happens in real life. The match ending like it did was fine, Rey's run in at the end seemed a little random but I guess he's got some beef with Christian. Henry/Orton doesn't seem Mania-esq to me. The Orton attack post match seemed abit cliche, could have waited till next week but I guess you have got something already planned. The Twitter update in the Miz match interupts the narrative of the match, which makes me dislike them even more. Great Taker promo, “a Deadman cannot die, but a Game can be finished” is such an awesome line. Meh Divas match but serves a purpose. I dunno about Cena having a match then after the break doing a promo. I would have swapped that and the Punk match that opened. Lots of feuds are getting tangled, firstly Punk/Y2J and Rey/Christian now Rock/Cena getting put in. Maybe you meant to do it but seems abit tangled. Great end to the show, can see you put lots of effort into it. Builds up thier match well, although once again disliked the twitter updates. Mania card looks great apart from the Orton match. Good luck and keep this up. This is a top class diary and I hope to see it continue.

I have to commend you for doing a full WWE diary; they are often challenging and an easy way to get burned out, but this one seems it will be here for the a long time to come. I love the way you integrate twitter; it is such a small detail, but a good one at that. The C.M Punk promo seems very familiar and one dimensional. He proves a point, but does not add much fuel to his match with Jericho at Wrestlemania. C.M Punk taking on Christian to start tonight’s action is great! I really like Jericho attacking Punk from behind, because it saves Christian from defeat, but also adds some fuel to their rivalry. I don’t care much for Mysterio making the save, but I just truly dislike Rey. Although I am not very familiar with the Henry/Orton feud, I like them competing at Wrestlemania a lot more than Orton and Kane. Henry devouring Riley is fine. I like Orton RKOing Henry, it is a fine way to add momentum to the feud. I like how Miz destroys his alliance with Wade and really seems focused on winning MITB. I wish Kofi/Miz was a little more competitive of a match. I love how all the MITB participants brawled following the match. I hope Wade or Ziggler win, hopefully the latter. “a Deadman cannot die, but a Game can be finished” --- love that line. Overall, a solid ‘Taker promo, but nothing incredible. I wish Kharma made an appearance to continue her feud with Beth. I dig Cena’a promo, it promotes himself, his match with Jericho, and his match with Rock - well done. I like C.M Punk costing Jericho the match, that was smart. The Rock and Cena segment was the highlight of the show. It was a great segment, one I wish WWE would have done. It has me very, very excited for their Wrestlemania match.

“Yes, sir, we promised you a great Main Event…”Cue Opening Package.The pyrotechnics explode and we are welcomed to the show by the usual combination of Michael Cole, Josh Mathews and Booker T. We are reminded that WrestleMania is only one week away, Booker T saying the anticipation is off the chain. They then inform us that tonight, the Main Event will be a Six-Man Tag Team Match! It will be the World Heavyweight Champion, Daniel Bryan, teaming up with the Intercontinental Champion, Cody Rhodes and Mark Henry, to take on the Sheamus, the Big Show and Randy Orton! We then hear the theme of the Big Show to a huge pop. Big Show comes out and he declares that in just nine days, he will take on Cody Rhodes for the Intercontinental Championship. Big Show says he hasn’t had a title match at WrestleMania in three years, so he believes that now is his time. Show promises that after everything that Cody Rhodes has done over the past year, he will shut his mouth once and for all. Suddenly, the theme of the Intercontinental Champion hits to a ton of heat. He comes out to the ring and enters it, standing across from the Big Show. Cody says that Big Show makes him laugh, coming out here and trying to be all serious, when everyone knows that he’s just a big joke. Rhodes says that Big Show was nothing but a freak show for years, and still is. Rhodes says that not only does Show have one of the worst WrestleMania records in history, but he also has one of the worst individual match records in history, reminding everyone of Big Show’s rather short tenure in the Main Event of WrestleMania 2000, being eliminated in under five minutes in a match that went on to last over half an hour. Rhodes gives a sarcastic “Ouch” before saying that the Big Show has to be embarrassed about that. Show says he’s not ashamed of anything he has done… besides getting involved with Vickie Guerrero, that was a big mistake. Show tells Cody that he can pull out all the facts he wants, because at the end of the day, it will be Rhodes staring up at the sky after he’s been hit with the W.M.D. and loses his Intercontinental Championship. Suddenly, the World Heavyweight Champion, Daniel Bryan walks out onto the stage to a huge amount of heat, accompanied by his rather reluctant girlfriend, AJ. Bryan shouts from the ramp that Big Show can’t threaten anyone anymore because Cody is right, Big Show is a joke. He is a joke, just like the “great white oaf”, Sheamus is. Bryan and AJ enter the ring. Bryan continues to mock Big Show, saying that he recalls making him submit inside the Elimination Chamber, embarrassing Big Show in front of the entire world. Bryan then says that at WrestleMania, it will be a very similar image when he forces Sheamus to tap out and rip his WrestleMania dreams from beneath his feet, Sheamus’ world crashing down before him. Suddenly, Sheamus comes out and walks down to the ring to a huge pop. He stands beside the Big Show and tells Bryan to shut his mouth to a cheer from the WWE Universe. Sheamus reminds everyone that two weeks ago, he pinned Daniel Bryan in a Tag Team Match, and he promises to do it again at WrestleMania. Bryan says that he was distracted two weeks ago, but there will be no distractions to save Sheamus from the beating of his life come WrestleMania. Cody Rhodes laughs and says that Sheamus and the Big Show make a great team, because they’re both big, clumsy and absolute jokes. Show and Sheamus look at each other and then suddenly, they grab their respective WrestleMania opponents to a huge reaction from the crowd. However, both Bryan and Rhodes deliver low blows to Big Show and Sheamus, managing to escape the ring. AJ stands in the ring and for some reason, goes to check to see if Sheamus is alright… Daniel Bryan is not happy and angrily shouts her name. AJ scurries out of the ring and up the ramp, back to Bryan’s side. SmackDown’s theme plays as these four superstars stare at each other, the scene fading to black. Commercial Break.WWE Tag Team Championships Match WWE Tag Team Champions Primo & Epico with Rosa Mendes defeat Santino Marella & Yoshi Tatsu; After last week’s victory over the Tag Team Champion, Theodore Long awarded Santino and Yoshi with a title shot. However, Primo and Epico were not an easy team to beat, and somehow managed to retain their titles, Primo connecting with a huge Backstabber on Yoshi for the victory. Primo and Epico celebrate alongside Rosa Mendes, having once again successfully retained their titles. SmackDown fades backstage as Santino checks on Yoshi. Backstage, we see Theodore Long in his office with Aksana. Wade Barrett walks in to a ton of heat, demanding a match for tonight since The Miz has one on Raw. Long says that he has the perfect idea for a match, and tonight, Wade Barrett will take on – Justin Gabriel. Barrett smiles, saying Gabriel is easy pickings and the perfect opponent to not only send a message to the other Money in the Bank participants, but to Gabriel himself, saying that after he’s finished with him, Gabriel will be begging to be taken out of the match. Barrett leaves and we fade to black. Commercial Break.We are shown a WrestleMania Countdown package which features clips from past WrestleManias before finally stating that there are nine days until the Grandest Stage of them All! Drew McIntyre defeats Ezekiel Jackson; Last week, Drew McIntyre came up short in the Open Battle Royal for the final place in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match, and this week, he took out those frustrations on Ezekiel Jackson. Even Jackson’s power couldn’t match the Scotsman’s rage, dropping Zeke with the Future Shock DDT for the victory. After the match, McIntyre grabbed a microphone and declared that he is still “The Chosen One” and after WrestleMania is over, 2012 will be McIntyre’s year. He drops the microphone and leaves as we fade to black. We go backstage to where Justin Gabriel is standing alongside Matt Striker. Striker asks Gabriel is he’s ready for such a huge Money in the Bank Match in just nine days. Gabriel says that it will be his second Money in the Bank Ladder Match, but this one has more added pressure than the first, simply because it’s WrestleMania. However, he says that he will not stumble, and he will realise his dream, retrieving the briefcase and claiming the Money in the Bank contract. He says that he heard Wade Barrett call him “easy pickings” earlier tonight, but he’s about to show Barrett that he shouldn’t be underestimated. The scene fades to black. Commercial Break.Justin Gabriel defeats Wade Barrett via Disqualification; This match was going pretty well for both men. That is until The Miz decided to show his face, sliding into the ring and dropping Gabriel with the Skull-Crushing Finale, causing the referee to call for the bell and disqualify Wade Barrett. Barrett was not happy as one again The Miz had cost him a victory. He picked up Gabriel and BAM! Planted him with The Wasteland, sending a message to The Miz. Miz and Barrett stared at each other as the scene fades to black. We see a Raw Rebound package which shows The Rock and John Cena’s confrontation this past Monday on Raw. The Rock sends Cena flying out of the ring and the two distance themselves as the package comes to a close. We return to see Randy Orton backstage to a huge pop. He is warming up, preparing for his match later on when suddenly, Theodore Long walks in. He tells Randy that he had nothing to do with making his match at WrestleMania, saying that John Laurinaitis completely took it upon himself to make it. Randy says that it’s fine, because he wanted the opportunity to kick the head from the shoulders of Mark Henry, and what better place to do it than at WrestleMania? Long says that after everything Mark has put him through, he can’t help but be slightly bias in this one, telling Orton that he hopes he teaches Henry a lesson. Orton acknowledges this with a nod as we fade to black. Commercial Break.We return to the commentary desk where we are reminded that at WrestleMania, Beth Phoenix will defend the Divas Championship against Kharma. It is noted that Kharma and Beth have never actually stood face-to-face, but this Monday on Raw, Kharma will take on Natalya and therefore, we may finally see the confrontation. Divas Champion Beth Phoenix with Natalya defeats Tamina with Alicia Fox; In what was a typically quick divas match, Natalya attacked Alicia Fox on the outside, tackling her to the floor of the arena. Meanwhile, Phoenix planted Tamina with the GlamSlam for the victory inside the ring. Atferwards, Natalya grabbed a microphone and said that before Kharma gets her Divas Championship Match, she has to go through her on Raw. Natalya promises that neither she or Beth Phoenix are scared of Kharma, and this Monday, Kharma will get a taste of what the Divas of Doom are all about. She drops the microphone and they leave as the scene fades to black. We see a graphic, which tells us that this Monday Night on Raw, ‘Rowdy’ Roddy Piper will be in the building and will present Piper’s Pit featuring John Cena and The Rock! Booker T says he can’t wait to see what Piper brings to this situation, and by the sounds of it, neither can the WWE Universe. The WWE Hall of Famer is infamous for his controversy-creating talk show, and it is sure to do just that when it comes to Raw, this Monday! We see the Intercontinental Champion, Cody Rhodes, Mark Henry and the World Heavyweight Champion, Daniel Bryan meet in the corridors backstage to a huge amount of heat. The SmackDown theme plays and we are told that the Main Event is up next! Commercial Break.Sheamus, Big Show & Randy Orton defeat World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan, Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes & Mark Henry with AJ; The match started off with Big Show and Mark Henry, a rivalry renewed. The two titans clashed and the match eventually broke down, leaving to Sheamus going after Daniel Bryan, but Bryan being the coward he is, hid behind his girlfriend AJ, just as Sheamus was about to deliver the Brogue Kick. Bryan shoved AJ into Sheamus, Sheamus catching her and Bryan fled with his World Heavyweight Championship. Sheamus makes sure AJ is okay and she says yes. Inside the ring, Mark Henry gets thrown through the ropes by Big Show and then Cody Rhodes is left alone. Rhodes sees Big Show, measuring him for the W.M.D. and pretends to be friendly and telling him not to do it. He turns around and BAM! Rhodes is nailed with an RKO and Orton hooks the leg for the victory. Sheamus re-enters the ring and celebrates with Orton and Big Show. Daniel Bryan stands at the top of the stage, clutching his World Heavyweight Championship as Sheamus smiles at him, saying “Nine days, fella”. AJ is seen on the outside, applauding the winning team, but Bryan storms back down the ramp, grabs her wrist and drags her away. Mark Henry looks into the ring in anger, Randy Orton staring him down. And finally, Big Show stands over the downed Cody Rhodes, laughing at him. Show, Orton and Sheamus raise their hands as SmackDown fades to a close. © 2012 World Wrestling Entertainment.

| WWE Raw Supershow; March 26th, 2012 –Atlanta, Georgia. |
“Yes, sir, we promised you a great Main Event…”Cue Opening Package.The pyrotechnics explode from the stage and the WWE Universe are pumped, just six days until the biggest event in WWE history – WrestleMania XXVIII! We are welcomed by Michael Cole and WWE Hall of Famer, Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler who remind us of the six remaining days, and also hype that tonight, we will see one final encounter between The Rock and John Cena before their highly anticipated WrestleMania battle. But it won’t just be any confrontation, as WWE Hall of Famer, ‘Rowdy’ Roddy Piper will return to Monday Night Raw to host the infamous talk show known as Piper’s Pit to give The Rock and Cena a confrontation they’re sure not to forget! And not only that, but tonight, the WWE Champion, CM Punk and Chris Jericho will take part in the classic ‘Pick Your Poison’ scenario where each man will choose an opponent for their WrestleMania rival. And speaking of which, we hear the theme of the WWE Champion himself, CM Punk to a huge pop from the WWE Universe. CM Punk hits the ring with the WWE Championship and tells the WWE Universe that in just six days, the wait will be over, and we will all get to see who rightfully deserves to be named the ‘Best in the World’. He says that for years, he looked up to Jericho as an idol, and frankly was in awe at the talent he showcased both in the ring and on the microphone. Jericho inspired him to be better, to be a more all-around superstar to get further in this business. He never expected that just six years after his WWE debut, he would be taking Jericho on in the Main Event at WrestleMania, as well as defending the WWE Championship in the process. Punk says it’s insane how he’s climbed from the bottom of the pile, back in the days when nobody would talk to him because he was an “outsider”, to competing in one of the biggest matches in WrestleMania history against a man who he used to look up to. Punk says that this Sunday at WrestleMania, he will give his all and give Jericho the fight of his life. Suddenly, the theme of Chris Jericho hits to a ton of heat and he walks down the ramp, speaking as he approaches the ring. Jericho says that it makes him sick to listen to Punk’s dribble each and every week about how he “looked up” to Jericho in the past. He says that he really couldn’t care less who looks up to him, or idolizes him. He says the WWE Universe should appreciate everything he does for them, for even being here for WrestleMania. Jericho says that he didn’t come back to be idolized, he didn’t come back to impress anyone, he simply returned to take back what is “rightfully his”. Jericho enters the ring and stands across from Punk, saying that the WWE Championship looks disgusting on the shoulder of CM Punk because all he does is use it as a fashion accessory. He says the WWE Championship should be respected and worn with pride like a true Champion like himself would do. Punk says that Jericho can’t talk about being an honourable Champion when all he did during his days as Champion was verbally abuse the rest of the roster and use the title as an excuse to isolate himself from everyone else because he was “better”. Jericho says he did that because that’s exactly what he is – better. He says that he is better than Randy Orton, better than John Cena, better than Triple H, better than The Undertaker, better than The Rock… and better than CM Punk. A small graphic appears in the corner of our screen telling us that #BestInTheWorld is currently trending on Twitter. He says he is the best thing to ever happen to the WWE and at WrestleMania, the whole world will see that when he defeats Punk and claims his seventh World Championship. Punk says that isn’t going to happen because this Sunday, he will show the world that it’s time for Jericho to pass the torch and move on. He tells Jericho to focus on his band, Fozzy, because it seriously needs some work. Jericho says that Punk can take cheap shots at his band all he wants because that’s what a generic Champion would do, a generic WWE superstar. Not a unique superstar like Jericho is. Punk says that Jericho is certainly unique, but to behave like he’s the only unique wrestler to ever compete in a wrestling ring is absurd. Punk says he’s not afraid to blow his own trumpet and claims that he too is a unique superstar and is more than worthy of being the WWE Champion, but the difference is, he doesn’t come out here and run his mouth about it every week – he lets the in-ring action do the talking. And speaking of in-ring action, tonight, they will choose each other’s opponents, and it just so happens that CM Punk will go first. He tells Jericho that he has chosen the perfect opponent, because he has plenty of history with this man, and the two have even teamed before, winning the WWE Tag Team Championships together. “Chris, your opponent tonight will be… the Big Show!”. The crowd erupt as the theme of the Big Show hits. CM Punk comically blows a kiss at Jericho before leaving the ring, Jericho scowling at Punk as Big Show makes his way to the ring and the scene fades to black. Commercial Break.Chris Jericho defeats Big Show; These two certainly have some history, and both men clearly want some momentum going into their WrestleMania matches. We are reminded that Big Show will take on Cody Rhodes for the Intercontinental Championship this Sunday. We are told that JeriShow is trending worldwide. Big Show looked to be taking control, but that was when the Intercontinental Champion, Cody Rhodes came out with a microphone, shouting that this Sunday, Rhodes will add yet another strike to Big Show’s catastrophic WrestleMania record. Rhodes even shows us a clip of when Big Show lost to Akebono in a Sumo Match at WrestleMania 21. The clip cut and Big Show was staring up the ramp at Cody with anger on his face. When Big Show turned around, he was met with a huge Codebreaker from Jericho, giving him the victory. Chris Jericho celebrated as Big Show rolled out of the ring, the WWE Universe not very happy with the result. Big Show gets to his feet and rushes up the ramp to get Cody, but Cody has already fled. Jericho grabs a microphone and declares that CM Punk’s opponent for later tonight will be… revealed later on. The crowd boo as Jericho smirks. Who has Jericho chosen? The scene fades backstage. We return to see John Laurinaitis backstage with David Otunga who is dressed to compete. Laurinaitis says that it’s about time Otunga got some ring time, and so he’s giving him an opportunity to knock off one of the main guys going into WrestleMania – the 2012 Royal Rumble winner, Sheamus! Otunga doesn’t seem too bothered and says that he won’t let Laurinaitis down. He then says that he has personally invited the World Heavyweight Champion, Daniel Bryan to Raw tonight to sit ringside for the match, which gets even more heat. Otunga smiles and we fade to black. Commercial Break.We return to see a promo package for WrestleMania XXVIII which highlights the careers of The Rock and John Cena before finally showing a clip of them face to face with the tagline “Once in a Lifetime”. We then return to Raw. Sheamus defeats David Otunga; Daniel Bryan was indeed by ringside for this one, along with his girlfriend, AJ. We are told a rather humorous trend: #DumpHimAJ. This was a fairly quick match, and Sheamus disposed of David Otunga with a Brogue Kick for the victory. Sheamus celebrated his win with the WWE Universe, but suddenly… BAM! Daniel Bryan enters the ring and clubs Sheamus in the back of the skull with the World Heavyweight Championship. Bryan bends over and shouts in Sheamus’ face “You’ll never beat me! I’m the future!” before dragging a reluctant AJ up the ramp. Sheamus gets to his feet, holding the back of his head as we fade backstage. The crowd erupt as we are shown Shawn Michaels backstage – the Heartbreak Kid is here tonight on Raw! Josh Mathews rushes up to him and asks Shawn why he is here tonight. Shawn simply replies “To set the record straight” before leaving and the scene fading to black. Commercial Break.We return to be told that #HBK and Triple Threat are trending worldwide. Dolph Ziggler, United States Champion Jack Swagger, Wade Barrett & The Miz with Vickie Guerrero defeat Kofi Kingston, R-Truth, Ted DiBiase & Justin Gabriel; In what seems to be a Money in the Bank tradition, this Eight-Man Tag Team Match takes place tonight on Raw. It was a bit of a messy match, and like we have seen in recent weeks, Wade Barrett and The Miz came to blows, despite being on the same team. However, this didn’t affect their team as the finish came when the United States Champion, Jack Swagger planted Ted DiBiase with the Gutwrench Powerbomb for the victory. Jack Swagger celebrates alongside Dolph Ziggler and Vickie Guerrero and Wade Barrett and The Miz brawl on the outside. R-Truth and Justin Gabriel attack Ziggler and Swagger, but only manage to take Ziggler out before Swagger throws them both over the top rope. Kingston comes out of nowhere and hits the Trouble In Paradise on Swagger, allowing him to be the last man standing in the ring. Kofi Kingston points to the WrestleMania sign as we cut to commentary. Michael Cole tells us that up next, we’re about to hear from Shawn Michaels who will be responding to what Triple H said to him two weeks ago on Raw, just six days before Triple H takes on The Undertaker inside Hell in a Cell! We then fade to black. Commercial Break.We return to hear the theme of Shawn Michaels to a huge pop. He comes out and stands in the ring ready to speak to the WWE Universe. Shawn says that two weeks ago, he walked out on Triple H because he believes that he’s completely sold out. He says that Hunter isn’t the same person anymore since he donned the suit and tie. Michaels tells everyone that Triple H has lost sight of what truly matter, and that is the WWE Universe, and putting on the best show possible for them. He says that all Triple H seems to think about these days is money and business, two things that The Game has never given a crap about in the past. He reminds us all how Triple H spent most of his career, usually alongside Michaels himself, making Vince McMahon’s life a living hell, being a rebel and fighting against the business side of the WWE. But now, he’s become exactly what he fought against all those years. All those years in D-Generation X have just disappeared into thin air because Hunter wants to look after the business aspect. Michaels says “What about the fun, Hunter? What about the entertainment? What about the adrenaline?”, and it seems as if HBK is about to get his answer as the theme of Triple H hits to a mixed reaction. We are told that Triple Threat is still trending worldwide. Triple H comes to the ring and stands across from Michaels, stroking his beard before speaking. He tells Shawn that seeing him walk out on him two weeks ago, it broke his heart. He says that Shawn has been his best friend for the best part of seventeen years, and to see him actually feel like he had to walk out on him… it was painful. Michaels says he had to do it to make Triple H see what he has become. He says that when it comes down to it, Triple H will attempt to break the Streak at WrestleMania for the third time, and Michaels says that he truly doesn’t believe it can happen, especially not with Triple H’s current business attitude. Triple H tells Shawn that everybody has an opinion, but the only reason Shawn doesn’t think he can get the job done, is because HBK hates being out of the spotlight. He says that it’s a good job that he is facing Undertaker inside Hell in a Cell, because he could probably guarantee that Shawn would try to stick his nose in if it wasn’t for the steel wall. Shawn says that he won’t need to interfere because it’s written in the timeline – it’s fate. He says that The Game will end this Sunday at the hands of the Deadman. Triple H shakes his head and says that just because Shawn couldn’t get the job done, doesn’t mean he can’t do it. Triple H then shocks the world when he says “With all due respect, Shawn… I have always been better than you”. The crowd gasp as Shawn’s expression goes blank. He asks Triple H to repeat what he just said, and he does. Shawn then says that this is what it’s all about… Triple H is doing this to prove that he is better than him. Michaels then says that he didn’t think Triple H would go as low as to make this about who’s better between them. Like he said, they’ve been best friends for years, how could he ever make this into a competition? Triple H says it’s a fact that they were going to have to face sooner or later, and this Sunday, he will end The Undertaker and his Streak, and he’ll not only be doing it for himself, but he’ll be doing it for Shawn, so he can be at peace with himself. Shawn says he doesn’t need anything doing for him, because he can do it himself. Triple H says that he clearly can’t if he failed to defeat The Undertaker. Shawn says that they have both lost to The Undertaker twice at WrestleMania, and given a third opportunity, Shawn knows he would do it. Suddenly – GONG! The Undertaker makes his entrance to a huge pop. He stands between the two best friends and speaks. He says that both of them have fallen victim to him twice at WrestleMania, and this Sunday, Triple H will make it into the record books for the most times to be defeated by The Undertaker at WrestleMania. He says that this isn’t about who is better between Triple H and Shawn Michaels, that doesn’t matter. Undertaker turns to Shawn and says that he respects him with everything he has, but he just couldn’t get the job done, and it’s time for Shawn to let that go. Undertaker then turns to Triple H, and says that it is time for Triple H to feel the same suffering that The Undertaker felt at last year’s WrestleMania, being carted off, unable to leave under his own power. The Game tells Undertaker that if he is going to fall, then he’s taking Undertaker with him. Shawn then says that come this Sunday, the cell walls will be locking both men inside, and he knows exactly who will come out on top. As much as he would love to say Triple H, his best friend, will break the Streak… it just isn’t gonna happen. Shawn drops the microphone and for the second time, walks out on Triple H… but wait. Suddenly – BAM! Triple H spins Shawn around and drills him with the Pedigree! The crowd are in shock as Triple H stands tall over his “best friend”. He turns around and walks right into The Undertaker. The Undertaker smiles at Hunter who is glaring up at ‘Taker with anger in his eyes. The Undertaker’s theme hits and he leaves the ring, Triple H standing over Shawn’s body as we fade to black. Commercial Break.Kharma defeats Natalya with Divas Champion Beth Phoenix; At WrestleMania, Phoenix will defend the Divas Championship against Kharma in what is sure to be one hell of a match. This match ended fairly quickly as Kharma was surprisingly able to dispose of Natalya with ease, planting her with the Implant Buster as Phoenix looked on, Kharma claiming the victory. Kharma put one foot on Natalya’s chest and pointed out of the ring at Beth. Beth raised her Divas Championship and shouted “I’m not afraid of you!” as we fade to black. We see a promo package for WrestleMania XXVIII which shows clips from past WrestleMania’s before finally showing The Rock versus John Cena with the tagline “Once in a Lifetime”. We then return to Raw. We see the WWE Champion, CM Punk walking down the corridor ready for his match up next! Commercial Break.CM Punk is in the ring and ready to take on his opponent for tonight. Jericho appears on the titantron and tells Punk to get ready because he’s picked the perfect opponent. A man who is feared by many superstars and a man who feeds upon… hate. Suddenly, a fiery pyro blasts from the stage as the crowd are in shock. Kane has made his return to Raw! Kane defeats WWE Champion CM Punk; CM Punk was certainly not prepared for this. We are told that Kane is now trending worldwide. Kane dominates most of the match, looking to get a victory upon his return, but the WWE Champion wasn’t going down without a fight. He even looked like he had Kane at one point, listing him up for the Go To Sleep, but that’s when Jericho rushed to ringside, causing Punk to drop Kane and swing for Jericho on the apron. Punk would return to the center of the ring where Kane planted him with an enormous Chokeslam for the victory. Kane looked down at the destruction he had caused as Jericho slid in the ring with a smirk on his face and Punk’s WWE Title in his hand. Kane left the ring, content with the damage he had done as Jericho rubbed the WWE Championship in Punk’s face, saying “Six days, Punk… six days. It’s the end of the world… it’s the end of your world…”. Jericho lays the WWE Championship across the chest of CM Punk as we fade backstage. We see a split screen of John Cena and The Rock heading towards the ring to an enormous pop from the WWE Universe. Ladies and gentlemen, Piper’s Pit – is NEXT! Commercial Break.We return to hear the theme of the WWE Hall of Famer, ‘Rowdy’ Roddy Piper to a huge pop. The ring is set up for the Piper’s Pit segment with a tartan carpet, some stools and a few bits and pieces to make Piper feel at home. He enters the ring to a huge “Piper!” chant, to which he thanks the WWE Universe for. He says that first of all, he wants to say how good it feels to be presenting Piper’s Pit once again, and just six days before WrestleMania XXVIII as well. He says that tonight will be a very special edition of Piper’s Pit because it will feature two of the biggest stars in WWE history who will face off at WrestleMania in the most anticipated match of WrestleMania’s long existence. Piper says he is talking about John Cena and The Rock! Both men get a huge pop. He says that tonight, he’s going to be asking all the questions that everyone wants to know the answers to, and grilling these two icons to the bone. He then says that it’s time to bring on the guests and first introduces – John Cena! Cena gets a mixed reaction, coming out in usual fashion, entering the ring and shaking hands with Piper. Piper then introduces – The Rock! And surprisingly, he too gets a mixed reaction. The Rock comes in, and stands across from Cena. While The Rock has a very serious look on his face, Cena is smiling and applauding Rocky. Piper’s Pit can now get underway. Piper says that now everybody is here, he wants to say that he is extremely looking forward to seeing these two fight it out this Sunday, and he will most certainly be in attendance for WrestleMania. We are told that Piper's Pit is trending. He then says that he has been watching Raw, and has seen each man take shots at the other. Piper says he’s seen John Cena rip apart The Rock’s appearances on Raw, claiming that The Rock only appears when he wants to and isn’t dedicated to the WWE Universe. He says that he doesn’t doubt Rock’s dedication, he’s known him since he was a little kid and he knows that wrestling runs through his blood. He tells John Cena that to accuse The Rock of not loving this business and the fans is crazy and Cena seriously needs to get his head out of his ass. The crowd pop for Piper supporting Rocky. Cena responds, saying that he knows that The Rock has wrestling in his blood, but since his movies took off, he’s shown absolutely no dedication towards the WWE, coming and going when he pleases and like he has said time and time again, only showing up when there’s a big paycheque waiting for him. Cena says that he does this for the WWE Universe and because he loves what he does, not because he wants to increase his bank balance. The Rock says that John Cena constantly whines and complains about Rock’s paycheque… well he thinks Cena’s just jealous. He says that Cena is probably jealous because The Rock gets more publicity, more admiration, more recognition, and actually has movies that don’t absolutely suck! The crowd pop as Cena shake his head, saying that he isn’t jealous of The Rock in any way shape or form, because if he was, he’d be jealous of a sell-out. Piper calms down the situation, saying that they should probably move on. He says that while John Cena has been running his mouth a lot, so has The Rock. In a funny moment, Piper tries to remember all the insults that Rock gives Cena; finally saying that he thinks Rocky is being a bit childish. Piper remembers the days when wrestlers didn’t make jokes about each other, they just socked them in the mouth and moved on. Piper says this whole situation is like something from kindergarten, asking “Where’s all the violence, guys?!” to a pop from the crowd. The Rock says that it’s too good to give up opportunities to rip John Cena to shreds because there’s just so many things to say about him. But he says Piper is right, maybe he should just jack Cena’s jaw right here, right now. The crowd erupt as the two superstars square off. Piper stands between them and says that they’ll fight in just six days, so they might as well save their energy until then. Piper then says that this Sunday, they will go at it in the biggest match of all time, a match that the whole world is just itching to see. Piper says that it’s the Hogan/Andre of today and he can’t wait to see them both kick the snot out of each other. Cena says that he will do just that, because while he’s been pretty respectful towards The Rock lately, he can’t wait to know his teeth down his throat at WrestleMania. The crowd pop and Rocky responds, saying that Cena won’t even get the chance because he’s gonna put his boot to Cena’s ass quicker than you can say “fruity pebbles”. Piper says “fruity pebbles” will never get old. Cena says “Roddy, you know what else will never get old? A good old fashioned brawl…”. Cena drops the microphone and unloads on The Rock as the WWE Universe erupt. The Rock battles back, delivering right hands to Cena. Piper is seen shouting “Yes! Hit him!” in the background as these two trade blows. Suddenly, The Rock goes for the Rock Bottom, but Cena reverse, lifting Rocky onto his shoulders… but The Rock slips off. They trade blows again, and for the second week in a row – The Rock sends Cena flying over the top rope! The Rock’s theme plays as he stares over the ropes at Cena who retreats up the ramp. Roddy Piper approached The Rock and raises his right hand, shouting “Rocky won this one, Cena!” as Cena looked on, smiling. The Rock mouthed “Six days” to Cena before pointing at the WrestleMania sign. Cena mouthed back “I’ll see you there” as WWE Raw Supershow fades to a close. © 2012 World Wrestling Entertainment.

RAW Review
Opening up the show with Jericho and Punk was the right call as it builds up your version of WrestleMania 28 well and then come to find out that there will be Pick Your Poison matches for them tonight was great, Punk thought that he stacked the odds against Jericho by choosing Big Show when Jericho manages to find a way to win because Rhodes comes out and distracts Show costing him the victory and Jericho then saying he has chosen Punk's opponent but he won't find out until later on tonight was great
Big Johnny backstage with Otunga by telling him that he will be facing Sheamus, how is Otunga not worried here? And Big Johnny tells Otunga he invited World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan here was great
Promo hyping up Cena/Rock was great, please hopefully you book Cena's heel turn at Mania 28
Sheamus beating Otunga only for Bryan to attack him after the match was great and then leaving with AJ, shows what type of a champion Bryan is, he's a coward
Shawn Michaels backstage, this is going to be awesome
8-man Tag Team Match was great
HHH hitting the Pedigree on Shawn during this segment with himself, Shawn, and Taker was great, HHH looks ready for Mania but at what cost though? I can definitely see Shawn Michaels costing HHH his match-up inside Hell In A Cell this Sunday at Mania, End of an Era
Punk's opponent ends up being Kane and then Kane beating Punk
Kharma beating Natalya, this is awesome, now there's Beth at Mania, I wonder if Kharma will win the big one at Mania, if she does, I would love to see Kharma become a dominant Divas Champion getting a monster title reign
And ending off RAW with Piper's Pit was awesome

WWE SmackDown: Friday 23rd March 2012...Decent promo for the Big Show to kick off SmackDown, to argue his faults at previous WrestleManias with Cody Rhodes. I believe this is Show's time to make it a good one and actually become WWE Intercontinental Champion honestly. Good call for Primo and Epico to retain the WWE Tag Team Championships against Santino Marella and Yoshi Tatsu, liked their program though. Drew McIntyre and Ezekiel Jackson honestly wouldn't have interested me all that much. Justin Gabriel beating Wade Barrett up next, that was a weird one, but then again I like that the Miz got involved as it focused on the SmackDown side of things headed into the Money in the Bank match come WrestleMania XXVIII. Beth Phoenix over Tamina was obvious, Phoenix needs all she can to get some momentum built up before it comes crashing down when Kharma will win the WWE Divas Championship in a nine days. Looking forward to Piper's Pit on RAW, that's for sure. And lastly, packed six man tag team main event with Sheamus, Big Show and Randy Orton beating Daniel Bryan, Cody Rhodes and Mark Henry, a very good main event. Other than that, not a lot happened to progress the card for April 1st. On Superstars, fine to see Brodus Clay and Skip Sheffield's feud bumped to the B-Show, it didn't do all that great when it was focused on on SmackDown in past weeks. Heath Slater beating Trent Barreta was fine; 2012 could be Slater's time to rise up.
