H̶E̶R̶E̶T̶I̶C̶S̶ Ø: NXT 10/29 and SD Live 10/30

WWE RAW Supershow
Alright, I'll still reply to this even though you're a no good dirty layout stealing thief. The opening seg was great. Ryder's promo about Christian was nice and I suspect a match in the future between the two. The chamber stuff was nice and it was standard build, but I liked the brawl. Especially Punk's line. Great opening contest with Daniel Bryan and Wade Barrett. Those two are great together. Wonder what Miz is doing with the briefcase. Looking forward to Bryan/Miz's encounter on SmackDown this week. Still saying Ryback is Evan's bodyguard. Beth win the win is obvious, Eve getting the job with Johnny Ace is nice. I like how you're building a stable like WWE was trying to. Add Curt Hawkins and Tyler Reks in there. Interesting seg from Punk and Ryder. I enjoyed the contract signing with Triple H and Cena. Having them discussing how important the match with Rock really is was great and really adds high stakes to the match. I liked Cena putting Otunga through the table too. Still not sure about Triple H playing the 'Embrace the Hate' role however. Good win for Sin Cara over John Morrison. Cara and Del Rio officially on for Elimination Chamber is good. Another interesting seg with People Power. It seems like you're going to turn Otunga face, but that would be rather awkward. Solid victory for Brodus Clay over Curt Hawkins. I still hope you add Hawkins and Reks to People Power. Fun little seg with Bryan, AJ, and Truth. Looking forward to Miz and Bryan's encounter on Smackdown, but just keep the Wrestlemania match to Barrett, Bryan, and the champ please. Whoa, was not expecting Tensai! Evan entering the chamber at number six is nice. Solid show as always, looking forward to Elimination Chamber.

"Bitter End" by The Veer Union blasted throughout the arena as a huge pyro display was shot off. Cameras showed both the red hot audience here in Milwaukee and the Elimination Chamber structure, where both the WWE and World Heavyweight Championship will be decided tonight. The commentary unit of Michael Cole, Jerry "The King" Lawler, and Booker T welcomed everyone to the final stop on the Road to WrestleMania, Elimination Chamber!

All that and much more tonight on this night that is sure to be both chaotic and memorable. But first, we will decide one of the pieces in the World Heavyweight Championship match at WrestleMania.


SmackDown! Money In The Bank Briefcase
Daniel Bryan (c) vs. The Miz

The "Awesome" balloon made way for the man who has recently become obsessed with headlining WrestleMania for the second year in a row. Tonight, Miz sees his final opportunity to make that goal become a reality. Daniel Bryan was out next to a great reception from the Milwaukee audience. He announced back in July after capturing the Money In The Bank briefcase that he would be cashing it in at WrestleMania. Six weeks shy of the big event, it could all be taken away. The bell sounded as Miz and Bryan locked up, Miz going for a quick roll up. Bryan rolled out and had an opportunity to lock in the LeBell Lock, but Miz quickly escaped and slid out of the ring. Bryan was looking to deliver a suicide dive, but Miz slid in the ring before he could fly. The Awesome One took him down with sweep from behind the legs, stomping on him as he held onto the top rope. He met the referee's five count before getting the cover, but Bryan kicked out. Miz pulled him closer to the center of the ring, but Bryan was able to get a leg up and kick Miz on top of his head. Bryan charged towards Miz, clotheslining him over the top rope as they both crashed to the floor. With Miz sitting against the ring apron, Bryan delivered multiple kicks to the chest. Before he could finish it with the head kick, Miz ducked and went under the ring. Bryan went back in the ring, checking all sides for Miz. As Miz was sliding back into the ring, Bryan immediately caught up to him and went for the LeBell Lock. Miz slid out of the ring once again, grabbing Bryan's arms and pulling him under the bottom rope onto the floor. Miz picked Bryan up to his feet, ramming him back-first into the steel ring post. He tossed him back into the ring as Bryan backed into a corner. Miz went for his corner-clothesline, bur Bryan dodged it as Miz found himself stuck. Bryan then delivered a running dropkick to Miz's back. He covered him, but Miz managed to kick out. Bryan kept an armbar on Miz for a bit until he was able to fight out of it and deliver an arm drag. Miz kicked Bryan in the face as he was sitting down, covering him for the two count. Miz stalked Bryan as he stirred to his feet, looking to hit the Skull Crushing Finale. He locked him in place for it, but Bryan was able to counter it into another LeBell Lock attempt. Miz rolled it into a pinning predicament, forcing Bryan to release the hold to escape. Both men were back on their feet at the same time, but Miz took Bryan back down with a big boot. He got the cover, but again only a two count. As Miz was looking for another Skull Crushing Finale, the theme of Mick Foley hit to a huge ovation. Miz kept his eyes on the stage, screaming and shouting for Foley to come out. This distraction allowed Bryan to roll Miz up, getting the three count and the victory.

Winner: Daniel Bryan (Still holder of the SmackDown Money In The Bank Briefcase)

The audience popped as Bryan rolled out of the ring. He was handed the Money In The Bank briefcase as he raised it high in the air, screaming with joy as he will now officially be competing for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania XXVIII. Miz sat on the mat in shock, realizing what had happened. That's it. His aspirations of headlining WrestleMania once again are gone, and just like at the Royal Rumble, it's thanks to Mick Foley's entrance music. Bryan dropped to his knees on the stage, raising the briefcase high in the air while staring at the WrestleMania sign, knowing that's his next stop.

Cutting backstage, Josh Mathews was standing by with the United States Champion, Zack Ryder. In just a few moments, Ryder will have an opportunity at becoming WWE Champion. Ryder said that this opportunity doesn't just allow him to become WWE Champion. It allows him to become a dual champion, and walk into WrestleMania with the most prized possession in all of sports entertainment. He knows that he is viewed as the underdog in that match, but he's ready to prove the world wrong. Soon, Ryder was interrupted by Dolph Ziggler. Ziggler said that Ryder couldn't be anymore wrong. He's not viewed as an underdog, he's the laughing stock of the Elimination Chamber. The man who will walk out of the Chamber and into WrestleMania as WWE Champion is the man standing before him. The Show Off, everybody's favorite hashtag heel, the only man the world wants to see headline this and every WrestleMania after, him. Ziggler left the interview set as Ryder looked on at him, ready to make his mark in the Elimination Chamber match.

Cutting to the arena, the theme of Wade Barrett hit to the surprise of everyone. The 2012 Royal Rumble winner made his way out to the stage with a microphone, asking the world to keep quiet because he has an announcement to make. Three weeks ago, he outlasted 29 other superstars to win the Royal Rumble. Thus earning him a championship match at WrestleMania XXVIII. Up until now, he's remained silent about which championship he will going after. "I want everyone to know that I've made my decision. Right now, you're about to witness the Elimination Chamber match for the WWE Championship. Whoever wins will be walking into WrestleMania as the champion, but their only purpose will be to hand it to me. At WrestleMania, I will become the new WWE Champion." Barrett made his way to back as the crowd was buzzing about this announcement. So we now know that whoever wins the upcoming Elimination Chamber match for the WWE Championship match will go on to WrestleMania to defend the gold against Wade Barrett. This also now means that Daniel Bryan will receive a one on one World Heavyweight Championship match against whoever wins that Elimination Chamber match later on tonight.

The lights on the Elimination Chamber structure flickered as it lowered down to the ring. Up next, six men will battle it out inside the demonic structure for the WWE Championship. As the commentary unit were giving their thoughts, we abruptly cut to the backstage area as cameras were rushing to a scene. "What the hell happened?" shouted WWE Champion CM Punk as we saw him checking on Zack Ryder, who was motionless on the floor. Nobody knew what had happened, but from the looks of it, Ryder's dreams of going into WrestleMania may be over. Punk made his way out to the ring, clearly frustrated about whatever it was that happened to Ryder. He entered one of the pods, waiting for the rest of the competitors. Dolph Ziggler was out next, followed by R-Truth, and the man we know will enter last, Evan Bourne. Rob Van Dam was out next, not being locked in a pod as he will start things off, but with Zack Ryder being taken out, we don't know who Van Dam will face. Suddenly, the theme of Christian hit as the audience showered him with boos. Captain Charisma, who we haven't seen since his vicious attack on Edge, made his way down to the Elimination Chamber. The commentary unit debated as to whether or not it was Christian who took out Zack Ryder moments ago as revenge for putting a stop to his attack on Edge a few weeks back. The Chamber door was locked, officially meaning that Ryder is out and Christian is in.


Elimination Chamber Match for the WWE Championship
CM Punk (c) vs. Rob Van Dam vs. Evan Bourne vs. United States Champion Zack Ryder Christian vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. R-Truth

The bell sounded as Christian and Van Dam kicked things off. The action quickly spilled onto the steel after a crossbody from RVD over the top rope. With Christian down, he went for Rolling Thunder, but caught nothing bull steel as Christian rolled out of the way. Christian stared at Punk in his pod, not forgetting about the loss he suffered at the Royal Rumble. He picked Van Dam up, who fought back with several strikes to the rib area. Christian charged towards him, but Van Dam ducked and kicked him into the chains. He threw Christian back into the ring, covering him to get a two count. As Van Dam went for another kick, Christian ducked it and rolled him up, though RVD managed to kick out. In a few moments, it was time for the first Chamber pod to open. Lights flickered over the four pods, soon landing on Dolph Ziggler. He quickly jumped into the ring, taking Van Dam down with a dropkick. He and Christian worked on him for a bit before Christian tried to roll Ziggler up. He kicked out before tossing Christian out onto the steel. When he turned around, Van Dam delivered a dropkick that sent him flying over the top, joining Christian on the steel. Van Dam launched himself over the top rope and onto Christian and Ziggler, laying the both of them and himself out. He was back on his feet first, rolling Christian into the ring to go for the cover. He kicked out as Ziggler re-entered the ring, taking Van Dam down with a clothesline. He locked in a Sleeper Hold as Van Dam backed into a corner, Christian hitting him with a running dropkick. As Van Dam was fading, Christian tried to surprise Dolph with the Killswitch. He was able to push Christian away and hit Van Dam with a Superkick. He got the cover, but RVD managed to kick out. When turned around, Christian connected him with a flying forearm. He backed into a corner, noticing Van Dam was stirring to his feet. He went for a Spear, but Van Dam dodged it as Christian rammed his shoulder into the steel ring post and the top of his head bouncing off of a Chamber pod. As the Chamber lights flickered, it was the defending champion's turn to enter. CM Punk's pod opened to a huge ovation from the audience, hitting a springboard clothesline onto Dolph Ziggler. He hoisted RVD up to his shoulders, though he was able to fight out of it and got a roll up. Punk managed to kick out of that, hitting Van Dam with a Roundhouse Kick. He lifted him up one more time, but was caught with a Spear from Christian. It took Captain Charisma a while to get the cover due his bad shoulder, but soon did to only garner a two count. He tossed Punk to the outside, stomping on him as he was backed against a pod. He asked for Ziggler to help him as the two worked on Punk, tossing him back first into the chains multiple times. In a few seconds, R-Truth joined the mix of things. He and Van Dam went at it for a bit as Ziggler and Christian continued to work on Punk. Their alliance was soon thrown away once again as Christian delivered a Spear onto the steel. Punk grabbed Christian, tossing him against the chains as a bit of payback. He then raked Captain Charisma's face on the chains before tossing him shoulder first into a pod, not breaking it, though. Van Dam missed a Five Star Frog Splash on Truth as the final pod opened, and Evan Bourne entering the match. As Van Dam was holding his ribs, Evan caught him with a Shining Wizard to get the first elimination of the match. Rob Van Dam is eliminated. CM Punk quickly went after Bourne, the two rivals going at it in the ring. Christian went after Punk as well, leading to the attention being taken off of Bourne. He climbed onto the top turnbuckle, then climbing onto one of the pods as he sat and simply watched the match. After Punk hit Christian with a running high knee, Ziggler hit him with a superkick during the bulldog. Punk managed to kick out at two in a close call. An enraged Dolph tossed Punk out onto the steel to deliver further punishment. Truth went for an Axe Kick on Christian, but missed and found himself being planted with a Killswitch. R-Truth is eliminated. As Ziggler had Punk in the Sleeper Hold on the outside, Christian locked one in on Ziggler. Both Christian and Ziggler were fighting to choke someone out first, but Punk was able to ram the both of them into the chains. With Ziggler and Christian down, Punk set his sights on Evan. He leaped off of the pod, trying to lock himself in one. The referees weren't able to do so as Punk backed Evan into the glass. He delivered multiple shots and kicks to a helpless as the audience went wild to see the Prince of People Power get what he's had coming to him. Punk then went back after Christian. After a short battle, Christian was gearing up for a Spear. Punk was able to counter it into a GTS, using Christian's feet to stop Ziggler from breaking it up. He hit Christian with it, covering him to eliminate him. Christian is eliminated. Even though Christian is out, the odds are still against Punk as Evan and Ziggler remain. When the door opened for Christian to exit, Zack Ryder hit the ring! He went right after Christian, the man we can presume took him out of this match. Several referees had to pull both Ryder and Christian apart as their brawl spilled into the ring. As the two of them were escorted to the back, Punk delivered a Roundhouse Kick to Bourne, looking to lift him for a GTS. Suddenly, Ziggler snuck up on him with a Zig Zag! He wasn't able to capitalize in time as Punk kicked out. Ziggler went over the Evan, telling him that they need to work together to take out Punk. The two did so for a well, but couldn't decide who wanted to get the elimination. Eventually, Bourne took Ziggler out with a jumping knee. Bourne went for a Shining Wizard, but Punk countered into a Powerbomb. Ziggler was back on his feet, hitting Punk with a kick to mid section, but found his Fameasser countered into a GTS, eliminating him. Dolph Ziggler is eliminated. Were now down to two as Punk quickly attempted to hoist Bourne up to his shoulders. Evan was able to fight out of it, rolling Punk up with his feet on the ropes. The referee caught him, stopping the count. Bourne stomped on Punk in a corner for a bit before charging at him, Punk lifting his knees just in time. He took Bourne down with multiple clotheslines. As Punk was going for a GTS, Bourne was able to counter it into a DDT, followed by a Shining Wizard! It looked to be over, Michael Cole losing it on commentary about Bourne becoming WWE Champion. He covered Punk, but only got a two count. Bourne was in complete shock as he was sure he had Punk put away. He went for another Shining Wizard, but Punk was able to counter it into GTS position. Bourne grabbed the top rope near a corner, holding on for dear life as Punk tried pulling him away. Instead, Punk rammed the top of Bourne's head into one of the glass pods. Bourne was out cold as Punk finished him off with the GTS to get the elimination and victory.

Winner: CM Punk (Still WWE Champion)

The audience erupted as Punk was declared the winner, being handed back his WWE Championship. He raised it high in the air as he hopped onto the second rope, staring at the WrestleMania XXVIII sign as he will be walking into Miami on April 1st as the champion. When Punk turned around, he was hit with a Big Boot from Wade Barrett. Barrett, who Punk will defend the WWE Title against at WrestleMania, stared down at him as he looked back at the WrestleMania sign. He lifted Punk up, planting him with Wasteland. The 2012 Royal Rumble winner scooped up the WWE Championship, raising it in the air as he stood over Punk.

Cutting backstage, R-Truth was shown walking to his locker room, disappointed that he couldn't win the WWE Championship just now. When he walked into the room, the Miz was shown packing their bags. When Truth asked him what he was doing, Miz said that since he's obviously not going to WrestleMania, they're going somewhere else. Miz left the room, Truth following him without a clue as to what he was talking about.


Singles Match
Alberto Del Rio vs. Sin Cara

As Sin Cara was removing his entrance coat, Del Rio immediately went after him, not letting Cara have any preparation time. The referee backed Del Rio, resulting in Cara charging towards him with a dropkick to the leg, followed by another one to the head and neck area. Cara got the cover, but Del Rio was able to kick out. Sin Cara continued to hit a few kicks until Del Rio grabbed his leg, spinning him around and hitting a clothesline. He picked Sin Cara up, whipping him into a corner and charging into him. Del Rio stepped onto the second rope, looking to come down with a hammer fist. Cara was able to counter it, hitting a dropkick in mid air. He rolled Del Rio up, but couldn't get the three count. He attempted a springboard DDT, but Del Rio used his shoulder as a batter ram into the mid section of Sin Cara. After a kick to the rib area, Cara rolled out of the ring. Del Rio tossed him back first into the barricade before rolling him back into the ring. Cara backed against the corner as Del Rio went for a running enziguri, but he dodged it as Del Rio fell onto his upper back area. Cara responded with the Springboard DDT, only getting a two count, though. Cara attempted La Mistica, but Del Rio was able to counter it into a backbreaker. He pushed Cara's back down onto his knee, punishing the International Sensation. He rolled Cara over onto the mat to go for a cover, but only garnered a two count. Del Rio grew even more impatient, holding Cara's arm down onto the mat while stomping on it with his knee multiple times. He continued to target the arm, softening Sin Cara up for the Cross Armbreaker. As Del Rio was attempting to lock it in, Cara used his good arm to push him away, pulling him back with his trunks and getting a roll up. Del Rio kicked out of it, retaliating with a huge kick to Cara's skull. Surprisingly, he managed to kick out of that. Del Rio picked Sin Cara up, planting him with a German Suplex. After he kicked out, Del Rio hit another one, though he was met with the same results. As Del Rio was going for a third German Suplex, Sin Cara was able to counter it into a DDT. He followed up with a Springboard Moonsault, but Del Rio was able to get his knees up in time. He hit Sin Cara with an enziguri, but he got his foot on the bottom rope. Del Rio signaled that it was time to finish this. As he was attempting to lock in the Cross Armbreaker, Sin Cara caught him by surprise with a roll up that got him the victory.

Winner: Sin Cara

Sin Cara raised his arms in victory a look of shock came over the face of Alberto Del Rio. He had Cara right where he wanted him, but let the victory slip away from him as the very last second. As Cara was celebrating his victory, Del Rio pulled him down from the second rope. He stomped away on him as the audience showered Del Rio with boos, showing their displeasure for his sore loser attitude. Del Rio locked in the Cross Armbreaker, pulling back on the arm violently as Sin Cara submitted. Suddenly, the theme of Rey Mysterio hit as the audience erupted. Del Rio immediately stopped as he stared at the stage in shock. Mysterio made his way out to the stage, staring at the man who put him out of action six months ago. Rey ran down to the ring, ducking a clothesline from Del Rio and delivering a hurricarana to the outside. Mysterio stood tall in the ring as Del Rio backed up the entrance ramp, not wanting any part of Rey. The Master of 619 helped Sin Cara up to his feet as the two stood tall, Del Rio looking on from the stage.

Backstage, Josh Mathews was standing by with SmackDown's Mr. Money In The Bank, Daniel Bryan. Because of his victory earlier tonight against the Miz, Bryan will officially be heading to WrestleMania to cash in the briefcase for a World Heavyweight Championship. Also, because of Wade Barrett's announcement that he will be challenging for the WWE Championship, Bryan's World Title match will now be one on one against the winner of tonight's Elimination Chamber match. Bryan was ecstatic about his victory, saying that it's been a long road. When he was hired by the WWE, many believed he would fail. And for a while, he himself believed it. He never garnered a win during his time on NXT, and was even fired. But when he came back, he vowed to scratch and claw his way to the top. And at WrestleMania, all of the miles traveled, all of the injuries he's suffered, they'll all be worth it. Bryan was interrupted by Cody Rhodes, who gave him a slow clap. Cody said that while Bryan will be going to WrestleMania, he needs to understand something. His purpose on April 1st is to be a footnote in the history of the next World Heavyweight Champion, him. Cody walked away as Bryan looked on at him.

Cutting back to the arena, Jerry "The King" Lawler was shown in the ring. He said that a few weeks ago, it was announced that the Rated R Superstar, Edge, would be going into the WWE Hall Of Fame this year. And right now, we're about to find out who joins him as the second inductee. "Ladies and gentlemen, the second inductee into the WWE Hall Of Fame Class of 2012 is....." Soon, a familiar theme hit as Trish Stratus made her way out to a huge reception. The seven time Women's Champion made her way down to the ring, giving Lawler a hug before being handed the microphone. The audience chanted "Stratusfaction," leaving her a bit emotional. She thanked the audience for the warm reception, saying that a few weeks ago, she was watching RAW and found out about Edge's induction just like everyone else. A few days later, she got a call from Vince McMahon asking if she would like to be the next inductee into the Hall Of Fame. The audience popped again as she said that it was a no brainier for her. To be one of the few women in the Hall Of Fame is a huge honor, and she couldn't be any happier. However, she was soon interrupted by the Divas Champion, Beth Phoenix. Beth stepped into the ring, saying that this makes her sick. Valuable pay-per-view time is being given to a Diva of the past when the focus should be on the Diva of now and the future. The one who is single handedly putting the division in its most decorated state. "Trish, you're considered by many to be the greatest WWE Diva of all time. But the reality is that I'm taking that name." Trish told Beth that she's not trying to take the spotlight and actually wishes her and the rest of current Divas locker room luck. Beth said that she can see through Trish's lies. She's trembling in fear at the sight of her. And if she doesn't get out of her ring right now, she's going to regret. As Beth was saying that, the entire face Diva roster made their way out to the ring. They all met Beth face to face as she slowly backed away, not wanting to take on all of them at once. The Divas Champion made her way up the entrance ramp, telling Trish that this isn't the last she'll see of her. The Divas picked Trish up to their shoulders, continuing the celebration of her Hall Of Fame announcement.

Backstage, John Laurinaitis was shown in his office with Evan Bourne, Tensai, and David Otunga. All were disappointed with Bourne's loss in the Elimination Chamber, though Laurinaitis said that they do have a saving grace. Tomorrow, he and Otunga will meet Kofi Kingston's lawyer in the ring, and they have this one in the bag. "I don't care about court. I want my WWE Championship!" shouted Bourne. Soon, Heath Slater walked into the room. "Sorry about the loss, Evan, but I got something to cheer you up. A bit of vocal entertainment from the One Man People Power Band, baby!" As Slater began singing, Tensai grabbed him by his throat, pushing him into a wall as he choked the life out of him. Laurinaitis was able to calm Tensai down as Slater dropped to the floor unconscious.


Singles Match
Big Show vs. Mark Henry

Back in November, Big Show was defeated by Mark Henry and, as a result, was forced to leave the WWE. After an attack on Teddy Long two weeks ago, the SmackDown GM chose re-instating Show as Henry's punishment. Show looked to be in a good shape tonight in his first match in 3 months. He and Henry met face to face in the middle of the ring, both of them very aware of their past. The bell sounded as Henry took the first shot, though Show retaliated as the two giants traded blows. Show grab Henry from his neck, pushing him into a corner. He delivered multiple strikes, but Henry covered up to block the shots. Show backed up, soon charging into Henry. Henry collapsed to the mat, getting up to his feet soon, only to be hit with the WMD. Show let out a huge scream as the audience popped, Henry motionless on the ground. Show knelt down and grabbed Henry's head, repeatedly delivering knockout shots. The referee tried to restrain Show as he was just brutally beating Henry down now. Show stopped him self and stood up as the official checked Henry. He declared him unable to compete as he called for the bell, putting a stop to contest.

Winner: Big Show via referee stoppage

Justin Roberts made the announcement that the referee had deemed Mark Henry unable to continue, giving Big Show the victory. Show didn't take any time to celebrate as he was back to delivering shot to Henry's skull. Show was relentless, not forgetting about the hell that Henry put him through for months last year. Several more officials ran down to the ring to try and calm the World's Largest Athlete down. Show was soon on his feet as the referees backed away from him. He delivered one final shot to Henry before leaving up the entrance ramp, finally getting his long awaited revenge on the World's Strongest Man.

A video package was shown for WrestleMania XXVIII, featuring one of the official theme songs, "Tonight is the Night" by Outasight. WrestleMania is live in 42 days.

Returning to the arena, the commentary unit expressed their excitement for WrestleMania XXVIII. It is there in Miami that the year long wait will end as John Cena and the Rock finally meet one on one. However, Cena meets a road block tonight in the form of the Game, Triple H. A video package was shown for their upcoming match, taking us back to the first RAW of 2011. It was there when Triple H called Cena out, saying that he's not ready to face the Rock and can't beat him unless he "embraces the hate." Cena delivered a punch to the COO that resulted in a four week suspension. During that time, Triple H found himself called out by the Undertaker. Hunter stated that he could see in the Deadman's eyes what he wanted, and that is a match at WrestleMania XXVIII. He declined the challenge, leading to Cena ridiculing him for it. Cena and Triple H finally have the opportunity to go one on one tonight, with influences one another possible. Can John Cena persuade Hunter to accept the Undertaker's challenge, or can the Game make the hate flow throughout Cena?


Singles Match
John Cena vs. Triple H

After the bell sounded, both Cena and Triple H looked around the arena as the "Let's go Cena!/Cena sucks!" chants could be heard. Hunter told Cena to listen to them and to let their hate overtake him. Cena responded with a closed fist, the same thing that got him suspended for four weeks last month. He struck Triple H a few more times, backing him against the ropes. Hunter delivered a knee to the mid section, taking over from there with strikes of his own. He whipped Cena into the ropes, looking for an overhead slam, though Cena was able to stop himself and deliver a DDT. He got the cover, but Triple H managed to kick out in time. Cena kept a rest hold on Hunter for a bit before being pushed into the ropes. Cena hit Hunter with a shoulder block, running the ropes before being struck with a high knee. Triple H clotheslined Cena over the top rope as he exited the ring as well. He whipped Cena into the ring steps, tossing him back in to garner a two count. Hunter stomped on Cena a bit more in a corner before being pulled away by the referee. When he went back on the attack, Cena lifted his feet up to kick him in the face, biding him some time. He was climbing onto the top rope, but Hunter interrupted him as he climbed up onto the second rope. He was looking to be going for a Superplex, bur Cena fended him off and pushed him to the mat. He came flying off the top rope, dropping a leg on the back of Hunter's head. He covered him, but Triple H managed to kick out. With Hunter in position, Cena raised his hand in the air, telling the Game "You can't see me!" Hunter was able to stop the Five Knuckle Shuffle attempt and plant Cena with a Spinebuster, only getting another two count. Triple H could be seen growing incredibly frustrated with the resiliency of Cena. He picked him up and placed him in Pedigree position, but Cena was able to push him away. What he didn't know was that he sent Hunter crashing into the referee. When Triple H turned around, Cena hoisted him up for an Attitude Adjustment, but Hunter slid off of his shoulders and took him down with a clothesline. With the referee out, the Game went out to ringside and pulled a sledgehammer out from underneath the ring. After Cena turned around, Hunter swung the hammer, but Cena was able to catch it before it connected with his face. He pushed Hunter away as he had the hammer in his possession. "Do it! Hit me! Embrace the hate, John!" shouted Hunter as it looked like Cena was contemplating taking advantage of the situation. Suddenly, the referee was back on his feet and ripped the sledgehammer out of Cena's hands. As he was tossing it away, Triple H hit Cena with a low blow and followed up with a Pedigree. He hooked Cena's legs, but he somehow managed to kick out. Hunter was fuming as he and entire world thought for sure that would put Cena away. He picked him up into position for another Pedigree, but a gong was sounded as the audience erupted. The lights on the WrestleMania XXVIII sign flickered as Hunter began looking around. Cena was able to capitalize and hoist Triple H up to his shoulders, hitting him with an Attitude Adjustment. He covered the Game to finally get the victory.

Winner: John Cena

A mixed reaction emerged from the Milwaukee audience as Cena stood to his feet, raising his arms in victory. The lights on the WrestleMania sign were steady again as Cena stared at it, knowing that the time is closer now. In six weeks, he will meet the Rock in the biggest match of his career. Cena stared at the camera, saying "Dwayne, make your move now." He made his way up the entrance ramp, happy to finally put Triple H behind him and put his focus on the Rock and Miami. Hunter, on the other hand, was livid in the ring as he realized that the Undertaker's mind games costed him this victory.

Backstage, World Heavyweight Champion Kane was shown placing his metallic mask on his head before leaving the boiler room. Up next, he defends the World Title in the Elimination Chamber match. The winner will go on to WrestleMania to defend against the man who will be cashing in his Money In The Bank briefcase, Daniel Bryan. Returning to the arena, the Chamber structure was shown descending down to the ring. The commentators reminded us that earlier tonight, we saw CM Punk retain his WWE Championship. Can the same fortune come for Kane, or will we have a new World Heavyweight Champion?


Elimination Chamber Match for the World Heavyweight Championship
Kane (c) vs. Intercontinental Champion Sheamus vs. Dean Ambrose vs. Chris Jericho vs. Randy Orton vs. Cody Rhodes

Kane, Rhodes, Ambrose, and Orton all made their entrance first, all four being locked in their pods. Kane and Orton, knowing what the confines of the Chamber feel like, looked to be very comfortable in this structure. Cody and Ambrose are experiencing their first Chamber match, but didn't look bother. Ambrose was even banging his head on the glass. Jericho and Sheamus made their entrances next as they will be starting things off here. The bell sounded as the two of them went at it, Jericho quickly going for the Walls of Jericho. Sheamus was able to rolled Jericho out of it, retaliating with several hammer fists. He repeatedly rammed his shoulder into Jericho's mid section before charging at him. Jericho was able to move out of harm's way, catching Sheamus with a bulldog off the rebound. He placed one foot on Sheamus' chest as he shouted "Come on, baby!" but only got a count of two. He kept an armbar on Sheamus for a bit as the audience clapped in unison, trying to bring energy to the Great White. Sheamus was able to stand up and fight out of the hold, planting Jericho with a Sidewalk Slam. He attempted a Brogue Kick, but Jericho was able to dodge it and hit an Enziguri. The countdown clock appeared on the screen, signalling that another superstar will join the fray. The lights flickered across all four pods as it steadied on Kane. The World Heavyweight Champion was released from his pod, taking Jericho down with a big boot. He and Sheamus traded blows in an encounter that ensued a nice response from the audience. Kane went for a Chokeslam, but Sheamus was able to counter it into a DDT. Jericho rolled him up, but the Intercontinental Champion kicked out. When Jericho stood up, he found his throat in Kane's grasp. He delivered a low blow to Kane as Sheamus caught him with a Brogue Kick, covering him to get the first and biggest elimination of the match. Kane is eliminated. The entire arena looks on in shock. The World Heavyweight Champion is the first superstar eliminated, meaning we are now guaranteed to crown a new champion. Even the superstars in their pods could be seen in disbelief. Kane sat up soon, realizing what had happened. He stared at Sheamus endlessly, his eyes filled with hatred. Kane exited the Chamber, not taking his eyes off of the Great White. When Sheamus turned around, Jericho attempted a Codebreaker. Sheamus was able to use his strength to prevent the maneuver from being hit, tossing Jericho over his head. He clotheslined Y2J over the top rope and onto the steel as the countdown clock appeared again. Dean Ambrose was out next, quickly grabbing Sheamus and tossing him back first into one of the empty pods. The sick, psychotic face of Ambrose was shown as he grabbed Jericho, violently raking his face across the chains. Ambrose tossed him back into the ring, getting a cover to get a two count. He repeatedly struck Jericho with closed fists until Sheamus was back on his feet. Ambrose swung at him, but Sheamus blocked it and delivered a heavy forearm. He took Ambrose down with a shoulder block before attempting the High Cross. Jericho slid out of Sheamus' grasp, planting him with a neckbreaker. Ambrose quickly rammed Jericho into a corner, hitting him with repeated elbow strikes. As he backed up, Sheamus rolled him up. Ambrose managed to kick out as Jericho hit him with a clothesline to the back of the head. It was time for another superstar to enter the mix of things as the countdown expired and the lights flickered over Orton and Cody's pods. It stopped on Orton as the audience erupted. The Viper quickly exited his pod, taking Jericho and Ambrose down with clotheslines and scoop slams. He and Sheamus traded blows before he clotheslined the Intercontinental Champion over the top. Orton stepped to the outside as Ambrose went back after him. Orton was able to get the better of him as he pulled him out through the second rope, planting him with a DDT onto the steel. With Orton on his knees staring down at Ambrose, Sheamus caught him with his knee around the head and neck area. He tossed Orton back into the ring, covering him for a two count. Jericho hit Sheamus a few times on his back before being pushed away. Ambrose snuck up behind Sheamus, placing him in a head lock as Jericho kicked him in the mid section a few times. Orton grabbed Ambrose, throwing him back-first into the steel. He went after Jericho, taking down with a Dropkick. Sheamus stalked Orton from behind, waiting for him to turn around. He went for a Brogue Kick, but Orton ducked it and hit his inverted backbreaker. As he was stalking Sheamus for the RKO, the countdown clock appeared as it's time for the final superstar, Cody Rhodes, to enter. Orton chose to turn his attention to Rhodes, waiting for him to exit his pod. Rhodes did so as Ambrose attacked Orton from behind. The two stomped on Orton for a bit, soon delivering a double suplex onto the steel. Rhodes went after Jericho in the ring, nearly planting him with Cross Rhodes. Jericho was going for the Walls of Jericho on Cody, but he was able to kick him away. As Cody was stirring to his feet, Ambrose caught him with a Knee Trembler to eliminate him. Cody Rhodes is eliminated. With Rhodes eliminated, Orton, Jericho, Sheamus, and Ambrose remained. Ambrose went after Jericho, looking to plant him with a Midnight Special. Sheamus was able to catch him with a Brogue Kick, but Ambrose fell out onto the steel. When Sheamus turned around, Jericho caught him with a Codebreaker, covering him to eliminate the Intercontinental Champion. Sheamus is eliminated. Jericho turned his attention to Orton, who was still out on the steel. As he was picking him up, the Viper retaliated as he rammed Jericho into one of the pods. Ambrose snuck up behind Orton, planting him with an inverted DDT onto the steel. He rolled Orton into the ring, getting a two count. He called Jericho over as the two worked over Orton for a bit. The two of them punished the Viper as Jericho locked in the Walls of Jericho. Before Orton could submit, Ambrose hit Jericho a headbutt. He backed into a corner, noticing Orton was stirring to his feet. Ambrose went for the Knee Trembler, but Orton dodged it and planted him with an RKO, covering Ambrose and getting the three count. Dean Ambrose is eliminated. The audience popped as not only has Randy Orton eliminated Dean Ambrose, but the Viper has handed him his first loss in WWE. It was now down to Orton and Jericho as one of them will be walking into WrestleMania as the World Heavyweight Champion. Orton staled Jericho, looking to finish things at that moment with an RKO. Jericho was able to push Orton away, hitting him with an Enziguri. He attempted to lock in the Walls of Jericho, but Orton rolled him out of it. The Viper kicked Jericho in the mid section and was looking for a Powerbomb, but Jericho was able to counter it into a vicious Codebreaker. Jericho crawled to Orton, covering him and hooking the leg to get the elimination, victory, and championship.

Winner: Chris Jericho (NEW World Heavyweight Champion)

The audience booed as Jericho raised his arms in victory. He was handed the World Heavyweight Championship as he kissed it and clutched it to his chest. For the second time, Chris Jericho will be leaving the Elimination Chamber as the World Heavyweight Champion. As Jericho was celebrating, the theme of Daniel Bryan hit as he marched down to the ring with his Money In The Bank briefcase. Jericho was repeatedly shouting "No!" as he thought that Bryan was going to cash in the briefcase right there. Instead, Bryan pointed to the WrestleMania XXVIII sign as Jericho looked back at it. Bryan raised the Money In The Bank briefcase high in the air as Jericho raised the World Heavyweight Title. The stage is now set. Daniel Bryan has been waiting since July 17th for this moment, and now knows that he will be meeting Chris Jericho for the World Heavyweight Championship on April 1st at WrestleMania XXVIII.[/center]

Alright. Elimination Chamber! Solid opening match with the long rivalry of Miz and Bryan. Glad to see Daniel keep the Money in the Bank... but I am liking the Mick Foley thing. Shall be interesting when he and Miz obviously face at WrestleMania. Wade Barrett choosing the WWE Championship is interesting. Big match with him versus CM Punk at WrestleMania. Will be intrigued by this one as it sounds kind of odd, but I hope you can make it work out well. Sin Cara beating Alberto Del Rio is nice, and I like the appearance of Rey Mysterio. I'm anticipating either a triple threat match or even a twist of a tag team match. Trish Stratus being inducted to the Hall of Fame I can dig. She deserves it. Lol at Tensai screwing up Slater. Interesting way to go with Big Show and Mark Henry, and now I am left to wonder what is going to happen next for both. John Cena getting the win over Triple H gives him tons of momentum going into WrestleMania. I do like the Undertaker mind games too, as it gives more fuel to the fire for HHH-Taker. Lastly, a good main event with Chris Jericho getting the World Heavyweight Championship. Him going up against Daniel Bryan? Sounds familiar. Good show.

WWE RAW Supershow: Monday 13th February 2012...Derrick Bateman beating JTG is cool, I'd love to see you have Bateman is a semi-permanent role on RAW running comedy skits, he's got great charisma for it. Jack Swagger beating Alex Riley seems to happen a lot on Superstars, but I'm sure it was a good, suitable main event. Onto the show, decent promo with John Laurinaitis coming out. It follows up on him finding out he's being sued by Kofi Kingston. You should try and use WWE.com articles to help support this throughout the week though, I can't imagine there'd be a week of Laurinaitis being upset about being sued; there could be some revelation announced throughout the week or something of the sort. Ah well, it's 2012, the age of social networking and whatnot. Just an "extra mile" suggestion. The People Power Party with David Otunga, Evan Bourne and Tensai (odd-combo, interesting contrast though). I liked John Cena's interruptions, and loved his insults towards them, very original. Cena and CM Punk teaming against Evan Bourne and Tensai? Sounds one-sided, but heh, we'll see. My only complaint is that it seems like the other Elimination Chamber opponents have been swept under the rug from Bourne and Punk's exchanges. Zack Ryder beating Dolph Ziggler was a fair call, good opening contest too to kick off. Ryder is definitely the underdog going into the Elimination Chamber match. Curt Hawkins and Tyler Reks joining Laurinaitis' corporation, brilliant! Please use them effectively. The Bella Twins beating Kelly Kelly in a handicap match was nice, good abuse of power from Eve as Executive Administrator. AJ and the Miz's exchange was amusing. The Miz and Alberto Del Rio then beating Daniel Bryan and Sin Cara was fine, great match I'd imagine. No YouTube Pre-Show match announced for Sunday? Weird, that's usually the reason why people tune in. Brodus Clay's random appearance had to lead to an interruption, and I like that John Morrison interrupted. Not so keen on Brodus being kept strong here though, I think Morrison should have attacked him. Brodus and the Funkadactyls came off sort of heelish here. I'm wondering if you're planning on having another Cena and Punk feud after WrestleMania XXVIII. Cena's certainly in the middle of a busy year. Hahahah, Heath Slater in Laurinaitis' office was fun. R-Truth beating Rob Van Dam was good, although probably would be even better in a different location on the card. And lastly, good tag team main event leading to chaos unraveling to promote the WWE Championship match this Sunday at Elimination Chamber. Overall, a solid go-home show, I enjoyed it a lot.

WWE Friday Night SmackDown: Friday 17th February 2012...Maxine beating Alicia Fox was fair. Johnny Curtis and Drew McIntyre? Interesting experiment but they sound like such an odd couple to me. Curtis is a little too weird for McIntyre's more masculine, serious character. Cody Rhodes in the ring to start was different, it really set things up for Theodore Long coming out. Realistic. Wow, big tag team match to open things up. A good one though, Kane and Randy Orton getting the win over Chris Jericho and Cody Rhodes was probably the better call. I wonder what the main event will be now. Nice bit of aftermath attacking to promote the World Heavyweight Championship Elimination Chamber match this Sunday. I'm looking forward to what match pairings you have in store for Justin Gabriel and Tyson Kidd as WWE Tag Team Champions. Good win for Gabriel against Hunico, it's like a cool exchange for a cruiserweight division, this feud. I'm expecting a rematch for the titles at Elimination Chamber. Dean Ambrose's promo was great, although I just can't see him walking out with the title this soon. Mark Henry's promo was good, following up the feud with Theodore Long. Haha, I like that the Big Show has been brought back to fight Mark Henry, but it's too short notice in my mind to have the match between Show and Mark at Elimination Chamber this Sunday. Would've been better to have happened last week with some hype to support it. Ted Dibiase beating Trent Barreta was a decent match, I like how it was initially face/face with Dibiase going heel to support the team formation with Michael McGillicutty. Good work. Daniel Bryan got an easy win against Heath Slater, I also liked the segment that produced the match. Eve and Kelly Kelly on the pre-show sounds neat. And lastly, good worthy main event for the WWE Intercontinental Championship; it ended Ambrose's undefeated streak, but kept him strong with the disqualification finish. Another chaotic finish to SmackDown designed to promote the other main event Chamber angle going into Sunday. A decent episode of SmackDown, I like what you've done with the blue place.

WWE Elimination Chamber: Sunday 19th February 2012...Solid action to kick things off, with the Money in the Bank briefcase on the line between the Miz and Daniel Bryan. I couldn't see Miz regaining a briefcase, so it was best for Bryan to regain it to capitalize. I wonder how the World Heavyweight Championship picture for WrestleMania XXVIII will end up. Hah, I wondered where Wade Barrett disappeared to. Good promo, we now have our WWE Championship and World Heavyweight Championship matches for Mania half-complete. I would have maybe held it later in the show or rather tomorrow night on RAW, though. Wow, Christian took out Zack Ryder, poor guy. Sounded like a brutal match, although in an odd position on the card; I'd have had this open the show, really. It sort of overshadowed the hell out of that opener. A great match, and as expected it came down to CM Punk and Evan Bourne. At this point in the year, it was obvious Punk would win though. Punk and Barrett for the gold at WrestleMania, sounds a little odd to me personally, but we'll see how that gets built up. Alberto Del Rio and Sin Cara's feud has been an interesting one. I was surprised to see Cara pick up the win though, which is always a good thing. I dislike Del Rio. Del Rio then attacking Sin Cara was nice, but interesting for Rey Mysterio to make the save. I guess we have Del Rio and Mysterio lined up for WrestleMania; where does Cara fit into any of this I wonder. Trish Stratus as an inductee into the 2012 Hall of Fame class is suiting, and I do like Beth Phoenix getting in her face. It's an alternative from the usual scenario where Kharma gets to fight Beth. Heath Slater in the People Power party sure was fun. Big Show simply killing Mark Henry off was an interesting decision; I guess Mark's going to be taking some time off. It also gives Show all the momentum that he lost back, having lost due to stoppage against Henry before. Oh no, "Tonight is the Night" as a theme for WrestleMania? Hopefully it's not the main theme, it just simply doesn't suit it in my mind. I am surprised to not see John Cena and Triple H main event the pay-per-view, it seems a lot more fitting in my mind. Great match, but I liked Cena winning as it gives him a ton of momentum going into WrestleMania XXVIII, although the distraction from the Undertaker's mind games sort of damaged it. And lastly, the Elimination Chamber match for the World Heavyweight Championship; I'm surprised this main evented. A great main event choice, given the star power in this match. Recently I've been thinking that SmackDown definitely has more star power than RAW, which is something interesting to note in my mind. Kane being the first eliminated was odd, but I liked how it came down to five men, and one of them would end up becoming the champion. Chris Jericho with the win is great, loved that it came down to him and his rival, Randy Orton, too. Overall, a solid show with an odd booking order, but nonetheless it helped promote a lot of matches for WrestleMania XXVIII. Very enjoyable. Looking forward to the Road to WrestleMania from this step onwards.
