- Opening up RAW with Barrett, I love that Barrett has come into his own as a babyface and his babyface run has been a success it really has and after WrestleMania 29 after being destroyed by Brock and then the night after on RAW being decimated by Cesaro he has earned my respect that's for sure and he has earned the respect of all of us the fans but seeing Barrett addressing the Heyman Guys it makes sense considering Lesnar nearly ended his career at WrestleMania and then Cesaro tried finishing the job only for Punk to interrupt and then Cena and then Heyman, I definitely loved that, builds up towards Extreme Rules but will the WWE Championship be defended at Extreme Rules?
- Randy Orton & Batista becoming the new WWE Tag Team Champions by winning Tag Team Turmoil, it makes sense, and how appropriate too, they take out the former WWE Tag Team Champions in DiBiase & Hennig Wrestling Royalty with them having to surrender their titles due to injury and the former world champions of Batista and Orton end up becoming champions I wonder just who can stop Batista & Orton at this point? Will any tag team be able to?
- AJ trying to rationalize her heel turn, I can see things from her perspective actually and she makes a lot of sense but the way in which she won the WWE Divas Championship now that that was such a despicable display that she would turn on Paige and all for Kaitlyn? Well I see the WWE Divas Championship being defended and if it happens at Extreme Rules I wonder what kind of match they will have?
- Sheamus advancing to the Semi-Finals of this World Heavyweight Championship tournament by beating Sandow, Sheamus could be a darkhorse to win this tournament and if that happens he could be the one facing Daniel Bryan for that World Heavyweight Championship and if that happens then hey I am all for that because then it could set up an eventual Sheamus heel turn which has needed to happen for a while now
- Kane going Corporate becoming Corporate Kane joining The Committee, Stephanie McMahon also in The Committee, this is basically The Authority all over again but under another name and for Kane to be the one to take out Ambrose, I can see Ambrose feuding with Corporate Kane
- Miz advancing to the Semi-Finals of this World Heavyweight Championship tournament beating Big E., I knew it, and now it will be Sheamus vs Miz in the Semi-Finals, I already know who I am picking there to advance that's for sure but Miz he hasn't been champion since well the Maddox Administration when he was WWE Champion but even so could we possibly get Miz/Bryan for the title at Extreme Rules? Hey it could happen
- Reigns beating Ryder I figured that that would happen but what I wasn't counting on was Mr. Money in the Bank Derrick Bateman showing up and attacking Reigns like that especially from behind and destroying Reigns like he has never been destroyed before, yes this just proves that Mr. Money in the Bank has a mean streak but also a vicious streak too but the fact that Reigns threw Bateman's Money in the Bank briefcase off of the London Bridge even Reigns had to figure out that sooner or later this was all bound to catch up with him
- Ziggler advancing to the Semi-Finals, Ziggler could be the favorite to win this tournament and considering he lost his title to Bryan I would say he is the one primed to take on Bryan again at Extreme Rules setting up Ziggler's eventual heel turn I don't know why but I just see it happening but with Ziggler he has to face the winner of Tyson Kidd vs RVD, so
- Kidd advancing to the Semi-Finals, Tyson Kidd could be all that much closer to becoming a main event guy especially if he wins this tournament because if he does then he would be the one challenging for the World Heavyweight Championship he would be the one facing Bryan and maybe just maybe he would finally be taken seriously and reach that next level as a superstar, Ziggler vs Kidd in the other Semi-Final, we will see what happens
- Undertaker/Bray Wyatt segment, Buried Alive, one of these men at Extreme Rules will be buried alive that's for sure, where there are no rules, no DQs, no submissions, no pinfalls, the only way to win is to bury your opponent alive in a grave covered in dirt where your last gasp for air your breathing is cut off as you are put in that grave, dead is dead and one of these men when it is all said and done will truly die
- Seth Rollins proving exactly why he is a fighting champion he is the WWE Intercontinental Champion and he is trying to bring prestige back to that title a title the likes of such superstars like Jericho, Shawn Michaels, Stone Cold, Triple H, The Rock, Bret Hart, Razor Ramon, Diesel, etc. have all worn and Rollins he figures he is going to be the one who brings prestige back to it, I love it, and the fact that he beat R-Truth just goes to show you that Rollins means business he will be a great WWE Intercontinental Champion I guess we'll all see now won't we?
- Heyman Guys vs Cena, Punk and Barrett in a Six Man Tag Team Match main event for Extreme Rules sounds good to me, it is perfect

Here we go with Raw! BAH GAWD! BAH GAWD! JR'S ASS! I mean, what? Nothing. Wade Barrett opening the show is smart with what went down last week, CM Punk and John Cena made strong contributions along with Paul Heyman. WE WANT A FIGHT, DAMN IT! A great start off to action in the show, with Randy Orton and Batista gaining the WWE Tag Team Championships, which I am actually okay with. It gives them both something to do without hogging the spotlight and I wonder how long they'll manage to be a cohesive unit. The Usos looked good in this, too, wouldn't be opposed to them being the first challengers if DiBiase and Hennig can't come back at them quickly - which I assume not with Hennig's injury. We'll see. Anyway, moving forward to the number one diva's feud ever with AJ and Paige. Actually making diva's relevant. Please, who does that? As long as these two don't flip flop the titles like real life for no reason, I'll be okay. Sheamus beating Damien Sandow is obvious. Commissioner? Who the hell does a Commissioner role? Oh right, this guy. Hopefully you make Corporate Kane actually matter and do stuff. He just is so out of place in reality. Moving forward, The Miz beating Big E Langston was for the best and him versus Sheamus in the next round should be good. Roman Reigns beating Zack Ryder was obvious. Derrick Bateman raising the United States Champion in the air? Man he is strong. Dolph Ziggler vs Alberto Del Rio is always great and having Ziggler win was great. I still believe he has a great chance at winning and we have face versus face. Bray Wyatt fears no Dead Man! HE FEARS NO DEAD MAN! He'll bury him alive at Extreme Rules, clearly. Tyson Kidd beating Rob Van Dam is huge for him, but I like it. He'll lose to Ziggler but, still. Good, surprising stuff. Finally, a good victory for Seth Rollins over R-Truth. Lets see him be champion for nearly a year like me. HUH!? HUH!? DIDN'T THINK SO! Finally, the fight we've been waiting for with a blockbuster announcement at Extreme Rules with a fantastic sounding six man tag team match. Looking forward to it. Per usual, a good show.

BREAKING NEWS: WWE SIGNS FORMER TNA WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS
New broke earlier today that WWE has officially signed former TNA World Tag Team Champions, Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian, better known as Bad Influence. The duo recently departed from Total Nonstop Action Wrestling due to frustrations with the company, something that we have been hearing about frequently as of late. Their signing with WWE comes as a surprise to many fans for several reasons. Daniels' age, 43, was said to cause WWE officials to be hesitant to present him with a contract, but the idea is that once he is finished with what is expected to be a short tenure as an active competitor, he will take on a role as one of NXT's head trainers. The same goes for Kazarian, who was signed to a WWE contract previously in 2005, but requested his release due to the lack of effort put into the then-active Cruiserweight division by creative. Both Daniels and Kazarian will reportedly spend some time in NXT, though not long as they are both expected to be on the main WWE roster some time in the Fall.

First of all, congrats on 50 pages. You've made it halfway to a mark that century mark club. AJ and I will be waiting. Onto Raw, liked the opening promo because you've done fantastic work making sure Wade Barrett is a bonafide main eventer. I love the tension that he, Punk and Cena have. I hate when faces automatically team together and are friends. Great Tag Team Turmoil. My two favorite teams there, The Usos and The Real Americans losing was rough, but Randy Orton and Batista make sense and can help continue the high prestige that you've built for the belts. Fantastically written promo as you once again kill it with the Divas division. Paige, AJ and Kaitlyn have all been built great right up there with what you did with Eve. Sheamus advancing in the World Title Tournament is great, I'd enjoy Bryan/Sheamus. Dean's "things in your mouth" comment wasn't PG Ryan. How dare you? Corporate Kane is something that I hate but he works as a henchman who draws heat. The Miz advancing over Big E works. Roman Reigns winning was clear, but I just don't think I can take Derrick Bateman as a series threat to him. Maybe it's because I don't see Derrick the way you do. Solid promo between Bray and Undertaker. I fully expect Bray to win at Extreme Rules. Shocked to see Tyson Kidd advance. Kidd/Ziggler gets me rock hard. I love the idea of Seth Rollins trying to raise the prestige of the Intercontinental Title, I'm just not sure how winning a bunch of non-title matches does that. I think he needs some title defenses soon. Once I heard Heyman say the "three of us" I figured he meant Brock. Heyman has one badass team, but the other side is really strong too. That's gonna be an awesome main event. Another great and stacked Raw. Here's to another 50 pages boo.

May 1st, 2013
Following the signature WWE intro, cameras cut to the Full Sail Arena as the entrance music of Michael Bennett and Maria Kanellis hit to a massively negative response from the NXT Universe. A graphic was shown for the Fatal Four Way match next week to determine who will challenge Adam Cole for the NXT Championship at NXT Take Over on May 29th. Bennett took a microphone once he was in the ring, saying that he told the entire world that when he made his debut, they should start counting down to the moment where he takes the WWE by storm and becomes the NXT Champion. "The countdown expires on May 29th because next week, I will put on the most dominant performance that NXT has ever seen and go on to win the NXT Championship at Take Over, making the fastest turn around from debut to glory in NXT history," said Bennett. The audience's boos soon turned to cheers as Enzo Amore made his way down to the ring. Amore said that Bennett could do the entire world a favor and stop blabbering on about how he's going to win the Fatal Four Way match and become NXT Champion. "Because we all know who's going to win next week, and it ain't you, sweet boy, it's the realest guy in the room! The bonafide stud!" said Amore before he was cut off by Bennett. "Alright, enough with that, Enzo. You come out here, giving the same one-liners every week. I'm sure by now, the audience is tired of your act," said Bennett as the crowd booed him heavily. "I'll let the people do the rest of the talking to you," said Amore, turning his attention from Bennett to Maria. "My oh my, sweet potato pie! How YOU doin'?" asked Amore to Maria, which only repulsed. After Bennett told Amore that Maria was already taken, he was to shut up once again. "Ay, Maria. Why you wastin' all your time with this joke? Why don't you ditch the new kid and come ride with the veteran? Because everybody knows that us certified G's always hit the G-sp-" "THAT'S ENOUGH!" shouted Bennett, well aware of what Amore was going to say. The entrance music of Corey Graves interrupted the scene as the 'Savior of Misbehavior' made his way down to the ring. He said that Bennett and Amore are wasting their time arguing over who is going to become the number one contender for the NXT Championship, because they're looking at him. "What separates me from everyone else in this match is that I have already held gold in NXT. I know what it's like to taste glory, and at Take Over, I'm going to add the NXT Championship to my resume that the Committee already have their eyes on," said Graves. "The only thing that the Committee has their eyes on are these! Bada boom!" said Enzo Amore before flexing. ".....And maybe Maria's assets, 'cause I know that's where my eyes are!" said Amore, only further angering Bennett. "I also got my eyes on the prize! The NXT Championship. Ain't neither one of you gonna beat me to the finish line when I been sprinting my whole life. Might as well call me Usain Bolt," said Amore. Before any of the three could continue, they were cut off by the arrival of Sami Zayn, who received the biggest pop of the segment. Zayn said that he respects all three as athletes, but he is not looking to fall short in his quest to become NXT Champion again. "I've tasted defeat before and it's not something that I want to relive. That makes me hungrier than anyone else to get back into contention for the NXT Championship, and after next week, I will be the number one contender and at Take Over, I will become champion," said Zayn as Bennett and Maria both pretended to fall asleep. "I don't blame you. I'd probably fall asleep as well if I had to listen to Maria on a day-to-day basis," said Zayn, which prompted Bennett to go after him. Zayn and Bennett traded blows in a corner as Graves and Amore watched on. "That looks like fun," said Amore before striking Graves in the face. Zayn and Amore were able to clear the ring of Bennett and Graves, the Full Sail audience going wild for the two babyfaces.
Returning to NXT on Ion Television, it was revealed on commentary that during the commercial break, NXT General Manager, Ricardo Rodriguez, made a tag team match official for our main event. Sami Zayn will team up with Enzo Amore to take on Michael Bennett and Corey Graves.
NXT TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS THE ALHPA WOLVES DEFEAT ANGELO DAWKINS & DANNY BURCH Another match up that saw the NXT Tag Team Champions, Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards, be challenged two NXT hopefuls who were looking for their big break. Angelo Dawkins and Danny Burch were unable to find it tonight, however, as the Alpha Wolves managed to put them away with the Backstabber/Powerbomb combination.
SASHA BANKS DEFEATS BAYLEY After defeating the NXT Women's Champion, Emma, last week, Sasha Banks now has herself a title opportunity at NXT Take Over in four weeks. Tonight, Sasha was able to pick up more momentum by defeating Bayley, who asked the 'Boss' for a hug prior to the start of the match. After the bout was over, Sasha mocked Emma by performing her signature dance, then motioning for the NXT Women's Championship.
Backstage, Devin Taylor was standing by with NXT's Mr. Money in the Bank, Tyler Breeze. 'Prince Pretty' stepped into the picture as he was asked for his thoughts on the NXT Championship picture with him holding the briefcase for an opportunity at any time. "I just want to say that you are looking at the only man in all of NXT and WWE who is not careless enough to allow his Money in the Bank briefcase to be stolen and thrown away into the sea. Indeed, you are in trouble, trouble, trouble," said Breeze, taking a shot at Derrick Bateman. "As for the potential contenders for the NXT Championship, it is all meaningless. Those four uggos are fighting for an opportunity that I can have whenever I want. If one of them were to become champion at Take Over, I could cash-in this briefcase and crush their dreams in an instant. Now that sounds like a selfie worthy of no filter. Then again, when you're gorgeous as I am, you need no enhancements. That isn't something that anyone else in the locker room or watching around the world can say," said Breeze as he continued to admire his reflection in his cell phone.
NXT CHAMPION ADAM COLE DEFEATS TRENT BARRETA The NXT Champion, Adam Cole, was in action against a man who was looking to get back into the title picture, Trent Barreta. As Trent was looking to connect with a Splash into the corner, Cole moved out of harm's way, causing Trent's chest to connect with the top turnbuckle. Cole locked his arms around Trent's waist, planting him with the Florida Key to get the win. Following the match, Adam Cole made his way over to the announce table, getting a closer look at the upcoming main event.
MICHAEL BENNETT & COREY GRAVES W/ MARIA KANELLIS DEFEAT SAMI ZAYN & ENZO AMORE A solid main event that served as a preview for the Fatal Four Way number one contenders match next week. With the NXT Champion, Adam Cole, watching, all four superstars looked extremely impressive. After Sami Zayn launched himself off the top rope and onto Corey Graves on the outside, Enzo Amore began to deliver a few jabs to Michael Bennett. When Amore looked to be in control, Maria stepped onto the ring apron, providing a distraction for him. The distraction almost backfired as Amore grabbed Maria's hair, teasing a kiss. The Full Sail audience cheered on Amore as Maria tried to break free. That was when Bennett turned Amore around, planting him with the Box Office Smash to pick up the victory. Bennett and Maria celebrated the victory in the ring, not caring that Bennett's partner, Corey Graves, was still down on the outside. Sami Zayn sat on the entrance ramp, disappointed with the loss as Bennett taunted him. Adam Cole stood up from his seat at the announce table, prompting Bennett to stand on the second rope and stare at the champion while motioning for the gold. Who will become the number one contender for the NXT Championship next week?

May 3rd, 2013
After the airing of the WWE signature intro, a video package was shown to recap the events at the conclusion of Monday Night RAW this past Monday. WWE Champion John Cena, CM Punk and Wade Barrett all made their way down to the ring to call out the three men who have made their lives hell. Paul Heyman, Antonio Cesaro and Kassius Ohno. The trio would respond to the challenge as Heyman announced a Six Man Tag Team Extreme Rules match at Extreme Rules in sixteen days. However, he would not be a part of Cesaro and Ohno's team. That was when the 'Beast Incarnate' Brock Lesnar made his way out to the stage, the battle of the century now set for Extreme Rules. Cutting to the arena, Justin Roberts introduced the new WWE Commissioner, Kane. Pyro blasted from the stage as the Big Red Monster' made his way down to the ring in a suit and tie just as we saw this past Monday on RAW. Kane stepped into the ring, taking a microphone as the WWE Universe showered him with boos. The new Commissioner said that the current sight may be one that the WWE Universe never believed they would see. "After the passing of Paul Bearer, I stepped aside to reevaluate a few things. For the first time in who knows how long, I felt human. I placed my hand over my chest and I felt my heart beating. Am I a 'Monster' like everyone believes, or am I just a man without any direction? That's when the Committee stuck their hand out and offered a new direction for me. I handed my mask over to Triple H and Stephanie McMahon, and in return, they provided me with the position as the new Commissioner of the WWE. Ric Flair and Edge's jobs were sacrificed for my sake, and while that may not be a popular decision among you, the fans, it's what's best for business," said Kane. He then stated that another reason for him being named Commissioner is because the Committee needed someone in a position of power who could take physical charge when needed. "For example, if Dean Ambrose were to decide to show his face here tonight...." said Kane, the WWE Universe popping for the mention of the 'Lunatic Fringe.' ".....He would be eviscerated and once again thrown off of the premises. Neither Edge or Ric Flair could assure of that, but I can," said Kane. Before he could continue, he was interrupted by the arrival of the WWE Champion, John Cena. Receiving a mixed response, Cena ran down to the ring, taking a microphone and telling the new Commissioner that this is a very ironic scene. "You're the 'Demon,' yet it would appear that hell has frozen over. What happened to you, Kane? One minute, you're kicking ass and taking names, and the next.....you're wearing a suit and tie, taking marching orders from Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. At what point did the 'Big Red Monster' become the 'Big Red Sellout?'" asked Cena. Kane laughed off Cena's remark, saying that he would not understand what is best for business. "Here's something else that is best for business, John. At Extreme Rules, you are going to team up with CM Punk and Wade Barrett to take on the trio of Antonio Cesaro, Kassius Ohno and Brock Lesnar. I want you to know, however, that just because you will not be defending your WWE Championship at Extreme Rules does not mean that you won't be defending it any time soon. In fact, I have decided that tonight, you will put the championship on the line against the man who took you to the limit in England last week, Kassius Ohno," said Kane, the audience approving of the match. Cena did as well, nodding his head and telling Kane that he was no problem whooping Kassius Ohno's ass tonight, and that is what's best for business. For the first time in nearly five years, the WWE Championship will be up for grabs on SmackDown as John Cena defends against Kassius Ohno! DOLPH ZIGGLER & SHEAMUS DEFEAT THE MIZ & TYSON KIDD W/ NATALYAThe final four superstars in the tournament to crown a number one contender to the World Heavyweight Championship battled it out in a tag team contest. The duo of The Miz and Tyson Kidd were unable to coexist well, which cost them in the end. Sheamus attempted to deliver a Brogue Kick to Miz, but the 'Awesome One' was able to step off of the ring apron, avoiding any contact to the 'Money Maker.' Miz watched from ringside as Kidd stirred to his feet, only to be met with a Brogue Kick as Sheamus covered him for the victory. Miz made his way up the entrance ramp, staring on at the man that he will meet in a semi-finals match this coming Monday on RAW. When Sheamus turned around, Dolph Ziggler teased delivering a Superkick. Sheamus flinched as Ziggler stopped himself, the 'Show Off' smiling. Despite working well as a team tonight, both Sheamus and Ziggler knew that if they are victorious on Monday, they will meet in the finals for a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship. At this time, a video package was shown to recap the Tag Team Turmoil match from this past Monday's edition of RAW. After the Usos defeated three other teams, they found themselves competing against two former World Champions, Randy Orton and Batista. The duo of the 'Viper' and the 'Animal' were able to destroy Jimmy and Jey Uso to become the new WWE Tag Team Champions. A graphic was then shown to announce that this Monday, we will hear from Wrestling Royalty via satellite for the first time since they were forced to relinquish the titles that they held for 377 days. SETH ROLLINS DEFEATS ROB VAN DAM TO RETAIN THE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIPA huge match up for SmackDown as Seth Rollins continued his quest to become the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all-time, putting the gold up for grabs against a former Intercontinental Champion in Rob Van Dam. As Van Dam was looking to deliver Rolling Thunder, Rollins was able to get his knees up in time. As Van Dam held his lower back in pain, he stuck his out between the second and bottom ropes. Rollins stepped out onto the ring apron, delivering a Curb Stomp that sent Van Dam's face into the ring apron! Rollins rolled back into the ring, bringing Van Dam closer to the center as he got the victory to pick up the victory. Returning to SmackDown, the ring was shown set up with a podium that had a black cloth placed over it. Pyro blasted from the stage as the entrance music of Kane hit once again tonight. The new WWE Commissioner made his way down to the ring, saying that the Committee is always looking out for their talent. "If something goes wrong, we are there to fix it. And last week, something went horribly, horribly wrong. Derrick Bateman, if you would, please come down to the ring right now," said Kane. The entrance music of Bateman hit as Mr. Money in the Bank and the United States Champion made his way down to the ring, still upset over the fact that his briefcase was somewhere at the bottom of a lake in London. "Derrick, what Roman Reigns did to your Money in the Bank briefcase was way out of line. That briefcase was your property and Reigns had no business not only stealing it from you, but disposing of it as well. We in the Committee are deeply sorry for what happened, but like I said, we are always looking out for our talent, especially one of your caliber. Triple H, Stephanie McMahon and I see a lot of potential in you, Derrick. With the right tools, we truly believe that you can be the face of the WWE someday. As our show of gratitude for the positive impact that you have on the company, we would like to present you with this," said Kane. The Commissioner then removed the black cloth over the podium, revealing a brand new Money in the Bank briefcase that featured a brown finish. Bateman stared at the briefcase with joy before hugging Kane. "Along with the briefcase, the Committee will ensure that if anyone ever tries to claim possession of it again, there will be repercussions," said Kane. Bateman took a microphone from ringside as he continued to stare at his new briefcase. "Tyler Breeze, eat your heart out!" said Bateman. "It's no surprise that the Committee holds me in high regards. As Kane just said, I am indeed the next face of the WWE. And you people won't have to wait long to see the Committee's vision come to fruition, because at some point..." said Bateman before stopping himself. "....Do I still have until WrestleMania?" asked Bateman, to which Kane responded that he does, meaning that the new briefcase does not reset the contract. "Fair enough. I can't complain," said Bateman before raising his tone again. "At some point until WrestleMania, I will cash-in this beautiful, beautiful briefcase and become WWE or World Heavyweight Champion!" said Bateman before raising the briefcase and the United States Championship. Suddenly, the entrance music of Roman Reigns hit to a massive ovation. The 'One Man Army' stood in the audience, telling Bateman that it's nice to see the Committee change his diaper. "I mean, your briefcase," said Reigns, Bateman still smiling. "You can try all you want, Roman. You can come up with as many clever one liners as you want, but you can't take this moment from me. I once again have a Money in the Bank briefcase, and if you even lay one finger on it, you heard Kane. There will be severe repercussions," said Bateman. "That's fine by me, Bateman, because at the end of the day, I got what I wanted, and that was seeing you cry and beg. Actually, that's not all that I wanted..." said Reigns. "Your have your briefcase intact, but I don't know if I'll be able to say that same about your United States Championship. Prove to me and everyone else that you are the future of the WWE and put the title on the line against me at Extreme Rules," said Reigns to a huge pop. Bateman discussed the matter with Kane briefly before accepting Reigns' challenge. ".....On one condition. You had your way with my Money in the Bank briefcase, so at Extreme Rules, I want to have my way with your career. This past Monday on RAW, I left you laying in this ring after putting you through a table. At Extreme Rules. I think I'm going to do it once again and retain my United States Championship," said Bateman. Reigns simply smiled at Bateman before leaving up the stairs, getting exactly what he wanted. At Extreme Rules, the United States Championship will be on the line in a Tables match! WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION DANIEL BRYAN & RYBACK DEFEAT THE REAL AMERICANS W/ ZEB COLTERFinally, Daniel Bryan and Ryback had the opportunity to put the Real Americans behind them once and for all. The WWE Universe was red-hot for the duo of the World Heavyweight Champion and 'Big Hungry,' trading chants of "Feed me more!" and "Yes!" Their momentum was too much for the Real Americans to handle as Jack Swagger was hit with a Meathook Clothesline, Bryan backing into a corner and preparing to deliver the Busaiku Knee. Bryan successfully hit Swagger with it, covering him to get the victory. Bryan took back the World Heavyweight Championship as he and Ryback celebrated their victory, Michael Cole referring to the team as "Bryback." "...That's the dumbest thing you've ever said," stated John Bradshaw Layfield. At this time, Michael Cole stood in the center of the ring as he brought out the former Divas Champion, Paige. "Stars in the Night" blasted as the 'Anti-Diva' made her way down to the ring, still bitter over the loss of her Divas Championship in England due to AJ Lee's betrayal. After Paige stepped into the ring, Cole asked her what it felt like to go into her home country of England as the Divas Champion. "There's no way to describe the feeling of knowing that you have made it. All my life, I've been surrounded by professional wrestling. I watched my mum, dad and brothers all make a living out of it while I remained in the shadows. Not because they didn't want me to pursue a career in this business, but because I was afraid. But all of my fears faded as soon as I walked through the curtain for my very first match. At that moment, I knew that this is what I wanted to do. So I trained and trained, and soon, I traveled all on my own at the age of fifteen because I wanted this more than anything else in the world. Every building that I walked into for an event, people stared at me. 'Oh, she's a wrestler? The pale girl who looks like she should be buying a ticket?' Yes. I am a wrestler. I've been one since I was born. And when I stepped into the ring, I proved to everyone that I was capable of making it to the WWE. But, being capable doesn't mean that you're going to achieve something. I took a chance by trying out for the WWE. I know damn well what they look for in a female competitor. The exact opposite of what I am. I don't have blonde hair. I don't tan. I'm not here to look pretty in front of the camera. I am here to be the best ever. They saw that and I finally had what I worked so hard for. Not even a year after I moved to America, I became the youngest Divas Champion in history. At twenty years of age, I reached the highest point that any active female competitor in this business can! And then, I walked into WrestleMania as the Divas Champion and I walked out as the Divas Champion. I had made it to the WWE. I made it to WrestleMania. And now, not only was my career going to come full circle, but my life was as well. I walked into my home country of England as the Divas Champion. And......" said Paige, stopping herself as she thought about what transpired in the 02 Arena. "I'll go ahead and ask my next question. What is your response to what happened in London between you and AJ Lee?" asked Cole as the WWE Universe booed for the mention of the new Divas Champion. "I saw a lot of myself in AJ. I could tell that she was here for the same reasons that I was. Neither of us are your prototypical WWE Divas. So the fact that we wrestled at WrestleMania for the Divas Championship was monumental. That's a moment that I was proud of. I was even more proud to know that she would be my opponent in London. And then......and then she stabbed me in the back. AJ conspired with Kaitlyn to steal the Divas Championship from me. She humiliated me in front of my friends and family. And if AJ were here, she would say that I did the same thing to her at WrestleMania. Here's the difference, sweetheart. At WrestleMania, I made you tap out in the middle of this ring. I didn't need an extra assistance to beat you. But at RAW, you did. You sold out because you couldn't bear another loss. You threw away all of the respect that I had for you as a competitor and as a human being," said Paige. Finally, Michael Cole asked for her thoughts on competing in the first-ever Last Diva Standing match at Extreme Rules against AJ Lee. "Once again, AJ and I will make history. The first-ever Last Diva Standing match. All I have to do is make sure that AJ can't respond to a ten count, but that's not enough for me. I am going to take AJ's pretty little head and bash it in! While I'm at it, I'll do the same to her 'bestie,' Kaitlyn. And then I'm going to bash AJ's head in again and make sure that she doesn't response for an entire year as opposed to just ten seconds! At WrestleMania, we had a match. In England, we had another match. At Extreme Rules, we're going to have a fight," said Paige. Backstage, Renee Young was standing by with the man who will challenge John Cena tonight for the WWE Championship, Kassius Ohno. Ohno stepped into the picture as Renee asked for his thoughts on tonight's title match. Ohno said that the sight that the world will witness tonight should not come as a surprise. "Last year, John Cena paid NXT a visit, believing that he was better than everyone down there. That's where I came in. I stepped up to the plate, challenged Cena and came within inches of defeating him. Last Monday on RAW, Cena couldn't put me away that time. Tonight, I not only finally get my victory over Cena, but I will become the WWE Champion and take the title with me to Paul Heyman's meeting with Antonio Cesaro, Brock Lesnar and myself in Minneapolis this weekend. Tonight, Kassius Ohno proves that he is the biggest superstar to come out of NXT," said Ohno. Just as he said that, Ohno stared at someone off screen. The camera panned to the side to reveal the Intercontinental Champion, Seth Rollins. "Biggest superstar to come out of NXT? Kassius, that's where you're wrong. You may have Paul Heyman, Antonio Cesaro and Brock Lesnar on your side, but you don't have a championship to your name right now and you won't after tonight. But I do," said Rollins as he raised the Intercontinental Championship. "And not just that, but I am on my way to becoming the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all-time, restoring the prestige that has been lost in this title," said Rollins. "Greatest Intercontinental Champion of all-time? What have you done, Seth, to even claim that? Did you take one too many of my elbows to your head in NXT? You beat Chris Jericho twice and you beat Rob Van Dam earlier. Great. You beat two guys who are well past their prime. Why don't you go out to that ring and put the title on the line again if you're indeed the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all-time?" asked Ohno. The angered Rollins complied, telling Ohno that he's going to shut him up, as well as the rest of the world. "Then, we'll see who is truly the best superstar to come out NXT," said Rollins. SETH ROLLINS DEFEATS BIG E LANGSTON TO RETAIN THE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIPFor the second time this evening, Seth Rollins put the Intercontinental Championship. This time, he issued an open challenge that was accepted by fellow NXT alumni, Big E Langston. After fighting his way out of position for a Big Ending, Rollins was able to catch Big E with an Enziguri, followed by Avada Kedavra. Big E was not allowed to get back to his feet as Rollins delivered a Curb Stomp to pick up the victory. For the second time tonight, Seth Rollins has successfully defended the Intercontinental Championship! JOHN CENA DEFEATS KASSIUS OHNO TO RETAIN THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIPA bout that will surely go down as one of the best of the year once 2013 is all said and done. While the two are set to take part in the Six Man Tag Team match at Extreme Rules, neither John Cena or Kassius Ohno held anything back. As Cena was looking to deliver an Attitude Adjustment towards the end of the bout, Ohno managed to land on his feet. He dodged a strike from Cena, catching the WWE Champion with a Roaring Elbow! "That's it! New champion!" said John Bradshaw Layfield on commentary. Ohno got the cover, but Cena was narrowly able to place his foot on the bottom rope to break the pin. Ohno picked Cena up, standing him as he attempted to deliver another Roaring Elbow. This time, Cena was able to dodge it, hoisting Ohno up and planting him with an Attitude Adjustment! Cena, however, remained down, taking more than a few seconds to get the cover. When he finally did, Ohno was able to kick out! "This is awesome!" chants rang throughout the arena as both Cena and Ohno staggered to their feet. They traded blows in the center of the ring before Ohno ran the ropes, catching Cena with a Yakuza Kick. Cena would retaliate by catching Ohno with a Lariat, taking 'That Young Knockout Kid' down. When Ohno got to his feet, Cena delivered a second Attitude Adjustment, this time for the victory. The exhausted Cena stood to his feet as he was handed back the WWE Championship, successfully defending it in an incredibly hard fought bout. "Cena could barely handle Kassius Ohno tonight. What makes him think that he'll be able to also handle Antonio Cesaro and Brock Lesnar at Extreme Rules?" asked Bradshaw on commentary, to which Cole reminded him that Cena will be teaming with CM Punk and Wade Barrett in sixteen nights at Extreme Rules.

- Tyler Breeze does have a point because if either Bennett, Amore, Zayn, or Graves do win the Fatal 4-Way and if any one of them were to beat Cole for the NXT Championship then Breeze he could very well cash in his briefcase on them and become WWE NXT Champion so it doesn't even matter because Breeze will become WWE NXT Champion sooner or later, it is only a matter of time only a matter of where and when
- But I am sure the WWE NXT Champion Adam Cole he must have a personal preference as to who he wants to defend his title against but I am sure to him it probably doesn't matter who he faces because he wants to prove himself as a fighting champion well sooner or later he is going to have to defend that WWE NXT Championship and when he does we will see just what kind of champion he really is won't we?
- Even though I hate Cena, I am a huge Cena hater, and even though he is WWE Champion right now in your diary he does make a lot of sense especially where Kane is concerned because Kane has become a Sellout, Kane has become a corporate suck-up and out of all the people who could have called him that it was the WWE Champion John Cena, I wonder if Cena has made himself a target for The Committee with his comments? Because The Committee I am sure they will stop at nothing to make sure that Cena loses his WWE Championship especially given what he has just said about Kane the new Commissioner
- Kane making a match, WWE Champion John Cena defending his title here tonight on Smackdown against Paul Heyman's newest client Kassius Ohno, could we have a new WWE Champion here tonight?
- Sheamus and Ziggler having to team up to face the team of Miz and Kidd, these 4 men in the semi-finals of the World Heavyweight Championship tournament and these men being forced to team together, how are they or how were they able to co-exist in this match? Sheamus and Ziggler winning comes as no surprise because Miz and Kidd have huge egos and their egos got in the way of them getting the win more or less Miz left Kidd to fend for himself, I mean it is every man for himself in this World Heavyweight Championship tournament so I was expecting Sheamus to turn on Ziggler or vice versa but you did tease it at the end but any one of these 4 men could meet each other in the finals of the tournament and if that happens the winner of said tournament goes on to Extreme Rules to face the World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan but I already know who I'm picking to win this tournament so
- Wrestling Royalty this Monday on RAW, I can only imagine what DiBiase & Hennig have to say, you know they are going to target Batista and Orton both when they come back I mean it's inevitable
- Seth Rollins defending his WWE Intercontinental Championship not once but twice in the same night beating RVD and Big E., this just proves that Rollins is a fighting champion especially if he is willing to defend his title more than once in the same night beating separate opponents in separate matches having not 1 but 2 matches in the same night, it pretty much elevates Rollins' stock not only as WWE Intercontinental Champion but it also pretty much elevates the prestige of the WWE Intercontinental Championship in a sense especially since he laid out open challenges and he has won them, I can only imagine what is next for him?
- Derrick Bateman being given a new Money in the Bank briefcase by The Committee, I kind of figured that he would but then cue Roman Reigns coming out, I knew that there would be a match made for these 2 at Extreme Rules but I figured that the Money in the Bank briefcase would be up for grabs in this match not the WWE United States Championship but seeing as how the WWE United States Championship is being defended here at Extreme Rules in a Tables Match I am looking forward to it because Bateman he is already WWE United States Champion if he cashes in his briefcase he could become a dual champion which means he could be WWE United States Champion and WWE Champion at the same time or he could be WWE United States Champion and World Heavyweight Champion at the same time
- World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan teaming up with Ryback to beat the team of The Real Americans w/Zeb Colter, it seems Ryback and Bryan make quite the team, I didn't think that they would make a great team to be honest but seeing them as a tag team who knows where things could lead to but at the same time Ryback's feud with the Real Americans in a sense actually does make sense but I wonder where Rusev is? I can see Rusev returning at some point and if he does I can see him feuding with Ryback again or even see him feuding with the Real Americans considering how Rusev was embarrassed at WrestleMania 29 considering how he let down Russians everywhere when he lost
- Last Diva Standing the first ever Last Diva Standing Match you are building this up perfectly especially with Paige and AJ and with the WWE Divas Championship in the balance, this is almost as personal as it gets
- Loved the segment between Kassius Ohno and WWE Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins backstage, I wonder if you were teasing an Ohno/Rollins feud for the WWE Intercontinental Championship? If you are then I can see these 2 feuding considering they feuded in NXT but since Rollins has become WWE Intercontinental Champion and since Ohno has become a Paul Heyman Guy I can see these 2 going at it at some point
- What a main event, Cena and Ohno whenever they are in a match they always prove why they have such great in-ring chemistry with each other, this match was as good as their very first match when Cena showed up in NXT and Ohno took him to the limit there Ohno sure took him to the limit here and could have become WWE Champion he almost had Cena beat but Cena managing somehow some way to beat Ohno, yes Cena may have gotten by Paul Heyman's newest client but yes in 16 nights he is going to have to team with Punk and with Barrett to take on the team of Ohno, Lesnar and Cesaro

Good opening promo for NXT. Not keen on Enzo Amore being in the NXT Title talks purely because I think he's so far behind a lot of NXT guys when it comes to in ring work. His promo work is great though and you captured that well here. The Alpha Wolves are still a fantastic addition and love seeing them as Tag Team Champions. I love the push for Sasha Banks and I hope to see her take the NXT Women's Title from Emma, then maybe move the title to Bayley. Tyler Breeze taking a shot at Derrick Bateman is interesting to say the least. The idea of an NXT Money in the Bank holder is something I'd like to see in real life. Adam Cole vs. Trent Barreta is a match I'd love to see. I do question the placement on the card. I think he should've gone on first instead of before the main event. Solid main event and I actually would like to see Mike Bennett win if it's not Sami Zayn next week. Good NXT as always.
I miss the hashtags you used to use. BAH GAWD THATS GOTTA BE...THATS GOTTA BE CORPORATE KANE! Ooh, WWE Title match on Smackdown? For Kassius Ohno no less? I dig it. I keep forgetting that Tyson Kidd is a big deal here. At first I was confused about his presence in the match. It made sense and would've been a great opener. Wrestling Royalty appearing via satellite makes me feel that they'll be back soon. Oh, we get an Intercontinental Title match too? You spoil us Ryan. Seth Rollins retaining is for the best and I can't wait to see what you have planned long term for his quest to become the greatest IC Champion of all time. Bateman fires back at Breeze! WRESTLEMANIA MATCH BUILT! I'm getting ahead of myself aren't I? US Title Tables match is good. I can see Roman winning, which works since Bateman won't eat a pin. The Bryback mention made me laugh harder than it should have. The Paige stuff was great. While it might not work in real life it is perfect here. The fact that they're going to have a fight at Extreme Rules should be fun. Great stuff from Kassius and Seth. Love the NXT call back. Love Seth retaining again. Big stuff for him. I think he needs a legit feud for the belt soon. Great main event, I really enjoyed how close Ohno came to winning. Great Smackdown and Extreme Rules is shaping up to be huge.

NXT was a decent episode but nothing to noteworthy but would have made a decent hour of TV. It seems like your building towards Bennett winning the four way and going on to challenge Cole. Cole/Trent would have been a good match. Think Cole still needs some work doing to him he doesn't feel like the man at the minute....
Smack Down has a huge Main Event.
Because I'm a fan of your work I'm willing to see your take on the Authority. At the minute though I don't see Ambrose's case.
2 big wins for Rollins and a future rivalry with Ohno will do wonders for both men. Ohno already feels like he's been around for a while.
Bateman segment was gold. You've done great work with Bateman and could actually see him having a short reign as WWE champ at some point.
There's no real reason why Kidd couldn't challenge Bryan at the PPV especially with how stacked your card is, unless you have a different story in mind.
Main Event ended a good show on a high. I don't mind your Cena!
Before this review I read through your first page PPV history etc and while Cena isn't everyone's cup of tea I think someone needs to have a longer reign with the title as it seems to change hands every 2 to 3 months in recent memory.
Check out my latest !

#MickFoley
| After the signature WWE intro, The Committee consisting of Triple H, Stephanie McMahon and the new WWE Commissioner, Kane, were all shown in their office as the audience rampantly booed. Stephanie welcomed everyone to Monday Night RAW, saying that tonight's show will surely be a memorable one as we are just thirteen days away from Extreme Rules live on Pay-Per-View. Triple H said that after the response to the main event this past Friday on SmackDown, it has been determined that John Cena defending the WWE Championship here tonight is what is 'best for business.' "Therefore, in tonight's main event, Cena will put the WWE Title on the line against one of Paul Heyman's other clients, Antonio Cesaro." Kane then said that after a long discussion among The Committee, they have all agreed that the situation involving Dean Ambrose may have been handled improperly. "Ambrose is still serving his suspension. However, an invitation is being extended out to him for this evening. The doors will be open and if Ambrose wants to come into the arena and meet The Committee in the ring, he will be allowed to," said Kane.
Cutting to the arena, Justin Roberts made a surprise introduction that brought the WWE Universe to its feet. "Please welcome.....WWE Hall of Famer, the 'Hardcore Legend,' Mick Foley!" Foley's entrance music hit as the audience roared with excitement. "As Jim Ross would say, Mrs. Foley's baby boy is here!" stated an ecstatic Jerry 'The King' Lawler, prompting John Bradshaw Layfield to ask, "Yeah, but why is Foley here?" Foley stepped into the ring, saying that it's great to be back on Monday Night RAW. "But it's even better to be back right here in Roanoke, Virginia!" said Foley before giving a thumbs up to the camera. "As much as I would like to be able to have fun with the WWE Universe tonight, I'm here on a rather serious matter," said Foley. "There's a young superstar in that locker room who may not have a true understanding of what awaits him. Not many people would be willing to stand in this ring and call him out, but I've made a few less-than-wise decisions in my career and I guess I'm not stopping. Bray Wyatt....." said Foley as a mixed reaction emerged for the mention of Wyatt's name. "....if you would, I'd like for you to-" was all that Foley could say before the signature of The Wyatt Family hit. "Roanoke.....we're here!" Wyatt blew out his lantern on the titantron before The Wyatt Family's entrance music hit. The 'Eater of Worlds' made his way down to the ring, flanked by Erick Rowan and Luke Harper. Lights from the audience members swayed back and forth as Wyatt stepped into the ring, meeting Foley face-to-face. "Bray, I'm well aware that the only person you want to listen to is yourself, but not even you have any idea what you've gotten yourself into. So for just a few seconds, listen to someone who knows what it's like to cross paths with The Undertaker in a Buried Alive match," said Foley before continuing on. "The record book shows that I defeated The Undertaker in a Buried Alive match, but reality shows that I lost. I was in that grave. I saw The Undertaker shoveling dirt onto me. It compromised my eyes, my mouth, I couldn't breathe. There wasn't a single doubt in my mind at that moment that I was spending my last moments as not only a WWE superstar, but as a human being. Ultimately, I turned the tables on The Undertaker and I buried him alive, but do you see Undertaker in a grave today? No. You see him as the same 'Phenom' that he always has been. You stepped up to the plate at WrestleMania, and what happened? You failed, Bray. You-" said Foley before Harper swatted the microphone out of his hand. Wyatt held his follower back, saying that there was no need yet to show aggression. "Mick, why do you care? Why is it so important that you come here and preach your life lessons to the man who has given life to so many lost individuals? Ol' Bray Wyatt has stared Lucifer in the eye before. Ain't no Deadman gonna scare me into my grave," said Wyatt. Foley then picked his microphone up off of the canvas, telling Wyatt that he isn't concerned for the safety of Wyatt. "After everything that you have done, every bit of torment that you have put the men and women in that locker room through, the fate of being buried alive by The Undertaker is one that you probably deserve. What I'm trying to do is show you and everyone else that we are not invincible, especially when it comes to The Undertaker. My life has never been the same ever since I stepped foot into this ring with him. One of the most iconic pieces of footage that the WWE has in its video library is The Undertaker throwing me off of the Hell in a Cell! I got back up, and 'Taker put me back down! That's what you get yourself into when you cross paths with the 'Deadman!' You got back up after WrestleMania, but Bray, I can almost assure you that at Extreme Rules, he is going to put you back down for good! And he won't just leave you laying in this ring! He's going to leave you laying in your grave! And it will all be because you never wanted to listen to anyone other than the voices in your head, Bray!" screamed Foley. Wyatt simply laughed to himself before telling Foley that there's a distinct difference between the two of them. "I am not weak, Mick. You overcame your demons to become a lovable, joyful, human teddy bear. Let me ask you this. How can someone overcome their demons when they themselves are a demon? The monster that I've become is something that I cannot just look past! I am this way for an eternity! The same eternity that The Undertaker will spend rotting away in a pile of dirt and rubble when I bury him alive with my own two hands at Extreme Rules! I am everything that you pretended to be, Mick! And if you continue to wag your finger in my face and try to tell me what my fate is, Mrs. Foley's baby boy isn't going to make it back home," stated Wyatt. The audience chanted for Foley as The Wyatt Family exited the ring. Suddenly, Harper and Rowan turned around, sliding back into the ring as Foley was prepared to defend himself. This turned out to simply be a distraction as Wyatt turned around and slid back into the ring, charging into Foley! The 'Hardcore Legend' was down as Harper and Rowan proceeded to stomp away on him. They lifted him up to his feet, handing Foley over to Wyatt. The WWE Universe chanted The Undertaker's name, but he was nowhere to be seen. "Where is your 'Deadman?!?!'" shouted Wyatt before planting a kiss on Foley's head, delivering Sister Abigail. Wyatt remained on his knees as he stared down at Foley, spreading his arms out. "He's got the whole world in his hands," sang Wyatt as he, Harper and Rowan all stood tall over the fallen body of Mick Foley.

| COMMERCIAL BREAK | #FatalFourWay | Returning to Monday Night RAW, footage was shown from prior to the commercial break of The Wyatt Family laying out Mick Foley after the 'Hardcore Legend' attempted to get a warning about The Undertaker across to Bray Wyatt. "Bray will not listen to what anyone has to say. He insists that he is going to bury The Undertaker alive at Extreme Rules," said John Bradshaw Layfield on commentary.
THE USOS DEF. THE REAL AMERICANS W/ ZEB COLTER, LOS MATADORES W/ EL TORITO & THE PRIME TIME PLAYERS IN A NUMBER ONE CONTENDERS MATCH: With the new WWE Tag Team Champions, Randy Orton and Batista, watching from ringside, the four teams who came up short in last week's Tag Team Turmoil match battled it out in a Fatal Four Way to determine who would challenge Orton and Batista for the titles at Extreme Rules. After Los Matadores leaped off of the top rope and onto the Prime Time Players, The Usos and The Real Americans remained in the ring. Jey Uso tossed Shelton Benjamin over the top rope, but Benjamin managed to hang onto the ropes. He was then hit with a Double Superkick that sent him crashing to the floor. They then delivered another Double Superkick to Jack Swagger as Jimmy Uso climbed onto the top rope, coming down with a Splash onto Swagger for the victory.
The WWE Universe popped as Jimmy and Jey had their arms raised in victory, a banner being displayed at the bottom of the screen to confirm their positions as the new number one contenders for the WWE Tag Team Championships. The Usos then turned their attention to ringside, where Randy Orton and Batista stood up from their seats at the announce table. The 'Viper' and the 'Animal' raised their new championships high in the air as The Usos motioned for them, the championship match now set for Extreme Rules in thirteen nights!
Backstage, The Committee were once again shown in their office as Triple H watched Randy Orton and Batista on a television, stating that he was proud of how far they've come in the past decade. After Stephanie concurred with her husband, we saw Billy Gunn and Road Dogg walk into the room, both dressed in suits. Triple H greeted The New Age Outlaws, saying that it's a pleasure to have them on board with The Committee. "What'd you need from us?" asked Gunn. Hunter then told his former D-Generation X stable mates that as they know, Dean Ambrose has been invited to the arena tonight. "Ambrose is the kind of guy who you're expecting to attack you in an alleyway, but instead, he jumps out of a window to get to you. He could enter the building in any conceivable way. He might already even be here. That's why I need the two of you to search every square inch of the arena and find him. After you're done searching the first time, look again. Then a third time. Then a fourth time. Keep searching until you find Ambrose because sooner or later, he'll be here," said the COO. Billy Gunn and Road Dogg complied with the orders from the 'Game,' leaving the room to begin their search for Dean Ambrose

| COMMERCIAL BREAK | #SemiFinals | THE MIZ DEF. SHEAMUS IN A NUMBER ONE CONTENDERS TOURNAMENT SEMI-FINALS MATCH: The first of two semi-final matches this evening in the tournament to crown a new number one contender for Daniel Bryan's World Heavyweight Championship. Speaking of Bryan, the World Champion stood on the stage as he watched the action unfold between Sheamus and The Miz. Towards the finish, Sheamus was able to take Miz down with a Backbreaker over his knee, gearing up for a Brogue Kick. Miz, however, was able to move out of harm's way as Sheamus got caught up in the ropes. Miz was able to capitalize by rolling Sheamus up with his feet on the ropes to steal the victory.
The Miz rolled out of the ring as the official raised his arm in victory, the WWE Universe showering the 'Awesome One' with boos. Sheamus sat on his knees in the ring, disappointed with the outcome. Miz stopped on the entrance ramp to stare at the World Heavyweight Champion, Daniel Bryan, telling his former NXT rookie that he will be the one to come out of this tournament triumphant. Later tonight, we will find out who will take on Miz in the finals this Friday on SmackDown. Dolph Ziggler or Tyson Kidd?
A graphic was shown for Wrestling Royalty's live interview via satellite, coming up next on Monday Night RAW!
|
| COMMERCIAL BREAK | #WrestlingRoyalty | Returning from the commercial break, a video package was shown that began by highlighting the 377 day reign as WWE Tag Team Champions by Wrestling Royalty, the longest reign in company history. Against all odds, Joe Hennig and Ted DiBiase were able to defeat Randy Orton and Batista as WrestleMania to retain the titles. While they were victorious, that would turn out to be their final match as the champions. The following night on RAW, Hennig and DiBiase were brutally assaulted by Orton and Batista, the two former Evolution members crushing Hennig's ankle with a steel chair. Because of Hennig's injury, DiBiase was forced to relinquish the titles three weeks ago. DiBiase attempted to gain revenge later in the night by attacking Orton and Batista, but he ultimately suffered the same fate as his tag team partner. After over one year as the WWE Tag Team Champions, Hennig and DiBiase were left with nothing, and it's all due to Orton and Batista's disdain for the outcome at WrestleMania.
Cutting back to the arena, Michael Cole introduced the former WWE Tag Team Champions, Wrestling Royalty, as they joined us on RAW via satellite. The audience erupted for Joe Hennig and Ted DiBiase as they appeared on the titantron, though neither appeared to be in the best of moods. "Joe, Ted, thank you two for joining us. The first thing that I want to ask is if you can give the WWE Universe an update on the injuries that you both sustained from the hands of Randy Orton and Batista?" asked Michael Cole. "Injuries heal, Michael. Sooner than later, we will be back in that ring. What hurts the most about this entire situation isn't our ankles. It's the fact that for 377 days, we busted our asses to put our names in the history books, and it was all taken away from us. We never lost the WWE Tag Team Championships. It's just because Randy Orton and Batista are sore losers, and because of their affiliations," said Joe Hennig. When Cole asked exactly what they meant by that last statement, DiBiase said that they're probably going to get into a lot of trouble for this, but it's the truth. "Let's see. The night after WrestleMania, The Committee took over. Triple H is the head of The Committee. What else was Triple the head of? Evolution. And who else were in Evolution? Orton and Batista. Don't tell me that it's just a coincidence," said DiBiase. "Hold on for just a moment. Are you two actually suggesting that Triple H, the COO of this company and one of the most respected competitors in history, had something to do with you two losing the WWE Tag Team Championships?" asked John Bradshaw Layfield. Joe Hennig said that it's not that difficult to figure out. "I don't care if people see this as us being bitter. Look at what is wrong with this situation. In the past, when one of the Tag Team Champions went down with an injury, his partner was allowed to select another superstar to team with him. DiBiase was not even given that option. He was immediately forced to relinquish the titles. Who has the power to ensure that the titles are vacated? The Committee. Another thing that I want to say. Why weren't Batista and Orton suspended, or even fired, for their actions? Was any punishment taken against them? So two guys who wrongfully assault and injure the WWE Tag Team Champions are left untouched by The Committee while a guy like Dean Ambrose is suspended for speaking his mind?" asked Hennig. "This was an attempt by Triple H to sabotage our careers. He and the rest of The Committee are just responsible for what happened to us as Orton and Batista are," stated DiBiase before the entrance music of Triple H sounded. The COO of the WWE made his way down to the ring to a ton of heat from the audience as he took a microphone from ringside. "I think this interview has gone on long enough. Guys in the truck, go ahead and cut Wrestling Royalty's feed," said Hunter. "You know damn well that you're in on this, Hunter! You took the WWE Tag Team Championships from us! Your boys couldn't get the job done at WrestleMania, so you ordered them to take us out! You're a despicable, no good sack of s-" said Hennig before the video feed was cut. Chants of "Royalty" filled the arena as Triple H exited the ring, the commentators questioning if Wrestling Royalty were right. Did The Committee plot with Randy Orton and Batista to bring their 377 day reign as WWE Tag Team Champions to an end?
|
| COMMERCIAL BREAK | #PaigeVsKaitlyn | Returning to Monday Night RAW, a recap of Wrestling Royalty's interview via satellite was shown as the two suggested that The Committee had a hand in Randy Orton and Batista's attack that resulted in their WWE Tag Team Championships being vacated. "377 days as champions and they have the audacity to accuse their boss of plotting against them," said John Bradshaw Layfield on commentary. "Look at the evidence, John. It's hard to argue with what Ted DiBiase and Joe Hennig had to say, especially when you consider that no punishment was taken against Randy Orton and Batista, but Dean Ambrose was suspended for something much less malicious," said Michael Cole in response.
PAIGE DEF. KAITLYN W/ DIVAS CHAMPION AJ LEE: Prior to the start of the match, a graphic was shown for the first-ever Last Diva Standing match at Extreme Rules, which will see AJ Lee defend the Divas Championship against Paige. AJ was on commentary for this match, saying that she isn't afraid of Paige. "My sweet little crumpet can threaten me all she wants, but I'm the one with the Divas Championship, and after Extreme Rules, I'll still have my baby," said AJ. Several times throughout the match, Paige focused on AJ, allowing Kaitlyn to take advantage. As Kaitlyn was attempting a Spear, Paige caught her with a Superkick before lifting her up and delivering Rampaige for the win.
The audience members in Roanoke stood to their feet for Paige as the 'Anti-Diva' raised her arms in victory before quickly heading out to ringside. Paige would then leap over the announce table in an attempt to get her hands on AJ Lee. The Divas Champion, however, was able to evade the scene. AJ hurried up the entrance ramp as Paige stood on the announce table, screaming at the woman who she will meet in thirteen days in the first-ever Last Diva Standing match.
Backstage, Billy Gunn and Road Dogg were shown on their search of the arena for Dean Ambrose, per orders of Triple H. "I've checked all of the locker rooms. He's not here," said Billy Gunn. "And I looked through all of the men's restrooms and I can't find him," said Road Dogg. "What about the women's rooms?" asked Gunn as they were standing next to one. "I'm not going into the women's restroom," said Road Dogg before telling Billy Gunn that he should check there. "I don't want to check the women's restroom," Gunn stated. The two argued for a bit before Road Dogg came up with a solution. "Let's both go in at the same time. Alright?" he proposed. When The New Age Outlaws were about to go into the women's restroom, Zack Ryder came out through the door, his back turned against the camera. He had his phone with him, looking at pictures or videos that he may have taken inside the women's restroom. Ryder then turned around to see The New Age Outlaws and the camera crew. ".....Are you serious, bro?!?" shouted Ryder before angrily leaving the scene.
|
| COMMERCIAL BREAK | #SemiFinals | Returning to Monday Night RAW, a vignette was shown that featured Rusev training in a gym in Russia. Lana then appeared on the screen, saying that America believes that they had the last laugh over the two of them. "Pathetic Americans. Does no one understand that there is no overcoming the 'Super Athlete?' Luck was on your side for one night, America. But soon, Rusev will return. And he.....will......CRUSH!"" said Lana as Rusev was shown in the background, stomping his foot through a large wooden board. Rusev makes his return to WWE in the near future.
Backstage, Renee Young was shown standing by with Sheamus. The 'Celtic Warrior' stepped into the picture as he was asked for his thoughts after failing to defeat The Miz in the number one contenders tournament for the World Heavyweight Championship. Sheamus stated that it's a heartbreaking loss. "I've been WWE Champion. United States Champion. Intercontinental Champion. The one piece of gold that has alluded me is the World Heavyweight Title, and I came this close to gaining it," said Sheamus before Seth Rollins' voice could be heard. "Intercontinental Champion?" asked Rollins as he stepped into the picture. "Maybe it's just me, Sheamus, but I don't remember your Intercontinental Championship reign at all. Do you, Renee?" asked Rollins, to which Renee stated that she does. "Don't mind her. Nobody remembers your reign as Intercontinental Champion, Sheamus, but everyone will remember mine because I"m on my way to becoming the greatest Intercontinental Title holder in WWE history. And from the looks of it, you're heading nowhere," said Rollins as he laughed to himself before leaving the scene, infuriating Sheamus.
DOLPH ZIGGLER VS. TYSON KIDD W/ NATALYA IN A NUMBER ONE CONTENDERS TOURNAMENT SEMI-FINALS MATCH ENDS IN A DOUBLE COUNT OUT: The second semi-finals match of the evening. The Miz, who earlier in the evening advanced to the finals, stood at ringside, while the World Heavyweight Champion, Daniel Bryan, once again watched from the stage. Dolph Ziggler and Tyson Kidd were able to put on a fantastic bout with the time that they were given, leaving the WWE Universe wanting more from the two superstars. As Ziggler was attempting to deliver a Superplex from the top rope, Kidd began to yell at Natalya, "Push him off, Nattie! Push him!" Natalya hesitated, knowing that doing so would not only be shameful of her, but would also get her husband disqualified. Kidd retaliated against Dolph as the two fell off of the top rope and crashed onto the floor. Neither Ziggler or Kidd were able to make it back into the ring, the two being counted out.
Boos filled the arena here in Roanoke as the announcement was made that Dolph Ziggler and Tyson Kidd had been counted out. "I'm the number one contender! I'm the next World Heavyweight Champion!" shouted Miz as he took a victory lap around the ring, stopping to point and laugh at Ziggler and Kidd. Daniel Bryan, who was handed a microphone by one of the cameramen, then began to speak. "Do you people want to see this tournament end with a double count out?" he asked, which caused a massive response of "No!" chants. Miz shouted "Yes!" while the WWE Universe continued to chant the opposite. Bryan then said that this number one contenders tournament needs a clear and decisive winner. "So whether Triple H, Stephanie, Kane or whoever else may be in The Committee want to give the WWE Universe what they want, I'm throwing my two cents in and saying that this Friday on SmackDown, there be a Triple Threat match to determine the number one contender for the World Heavyweight Championship!" said Bryan as the audience responded with one phrase - "Yes!" The chant continued until Kane's entrance music hit. The WWE Commissioner made his way out to the stage, quickly telling Bryan, "Ask and you shall receive, Daniel." Kane made his way to the backstage area as it would appear that the Triple Threat match has been confirmed for this Friday on SmackDown!
A promo was shown for Extreme Rules, live Sunday May 19th on Pay-Per-View.
Briefly returning to Monday Night RAW, The Committee were shown in their office as Kane walked in, Triple H asking the Commissioner if he took care of the tournament business. After Kane nodded his head, Hunter stated that it was time for them to head to the ring and see if Dean Ambrose accepts their invitation. Hunter, Kane and Stephanie began heading to the ring, The Committee inviting Ambrose into the ring, next!

| COMMERCIAL BREAK | #TheCommittee | A promo was shown for this Wednesday's edition of NXT. Sami Zayn, Michael Bennett, Enzo Amore and Corey Graves meet in a Fatal Four Way match to determine the number one contender to Adam Cole's NXT Championship. NXT, this Wednesday on ION Television!
Returning to the arena, the entrance music of Triple H hit as the COO made his way down to the ring along with his wife, Stephanie McMahon, and the WWE Commissioner, Kane. Once in the ring, Hunter took a microphone as he reminded everyone that at the beginning of the broadcast, The Committee extended an invitation to Dean Ambrose to meet them in the ring and settle whatever issues they have with each other like civilized human beings. "The time is up, Dean. If you're here, show yourself," said Triple H. The WWE Universe chanted for Ambrose, but the 'Lunatic Fringe' was nowhere to be seen. Stephanie had a smile on her face, telling Triple H that she knew Ambrose wouldn't show up. Soon, Billy Gunn and Road Dogg appeared on the titantron, telling Hunter that they looked through the entire arena and couldn't find Dean Ambrose anywhere. "Well, there you have it, ladies and gentlemen. Dean Ambrose is not here tonight," said Triple H to a chorus of boos. "Hey, that's not a bad thing. Maybe, Dean has finally learned to respect those in power and when he is done serving his suspension, he will be back in a better state of mind," said the 'Game.' Suddenly, a noise could be heard as Road Dogg and Billy Gunn looked to their side, the two being struck by a golf cart! "There he is!" said Michael Cole on commentary as Dean Ambrose exited the golf cart that he just used to take out The New Age Outlaws! Triple H dropped his microphone as the reaction was deafening for the 'Lunatic Fringe.' Ambrose's entrance music hit as he made his way down to the ring, Hunter picking his microphone back up. "Dean, listen to me. We invited you here so that we could talk this out," said Triple H. Ambrose would not listen, however, as he slid into the ring and took Triple H down to the canvas! "He's assaulting the COO of this company! Somebody arrest Dean Ambrose!" shouted John Bradshaw Layfield and Ambrose hammered away with shots onto Hunter! Kane tried to pull Ambrose off of Triple H, but the Commissioner was struck repeatedly as well. Ambrose went back and forth between Triple H and Kane, managing to take both of them down. Stephanie McMahon then tried to intervene, yelling at Ambrose. "How dare you!?! This is our show! You work for us! We own you!" she said before delivering a slap across the face of Ambrose. The slap had little effect as Ambrose smiled at Stephanie, his eyes wide open. "Get out there, Stephanie," said Bradshaw as she backed away from the 'Lunatic Fringe.' Ambrose then got a hold of Stephanie by her hair, the WWE Universe roaring with excitement. Before Ambrose could go any further with his intentions, he was attacked from behind by the WWE Tag Team Champions, Randy Orton and Batista! The two attempted to take Ambrose down, but he was still able to hold his own. As Ambrose fired away with shots to Orton and Batista, he was struck in the back of his head by Derrick Bateman's Money in the Bank briefcase! Bateman, Orton and Batista stomped away on Ambrose as Triple H and Kane got back to their feet, the Commissioner shouting at the three of them to take Ambrose out while the 'Game' tended to his wife. Triple H then called off the attack, thanking Bateman, Orton and Batista for their services. He shook their hands before allowing the three of them to leave up the entrance ramp. Ambrose tried to stir to his feet, but Kane kicked him in his side before throwing him out to ringside. "This is the kind of treatment that The Committee gives to its superstars?!" asked Michael Cole on commentary. "Do it, Kane!" shouted Stephanie McMahon at the new Commissioner. Kane would then place Ambrose in position for a Tombstone Piledriver, delivering it onto the floor! Orton, Batista and Bateman were shown still on the stage, watching after they assisted in this vicious assault on Dean Ambrose. Kane rolled the 'Lunatic Fringe' back into the ring as Triple H removed his blazer and tie, picking Ambrose up from the canvas. Hunter then planted Ambrose with a Pedigree before taking his microphone. "Dean Ambrose......YOU'RE FIRED!!!" The WWE Universe was stunned as Triple H, Kane and Stephanie McMahon all stood tall in the ring, the 'Game' just firing Ambrose!

| COMMERCIAL BREAK | #ICTitle | Returning from the commercial break, a recap of the previous segment was shown as Dean Ambrose accepted The Committee's invitation to meet them in the ring, but the 'Lunatic Fringe' was ultimately attacked by Triple H, Stephanie McMahon, Kane, Randy Orton, Batista and Derrick Bateman. After Ambrose was on the receiving end of a Tombstone and Pedigree, Triple H announced to the world that Ambrose was fired. Cutting to the backstage area, The Committee was shown walking as Triple H thanked Orton, Batista and Bateman for their assistance. "Let that be a lesson to anyone who tries to defy our orders. Randy, Dave, that's why you two are the faces of the WWE. Derrick, that's why you're the future. And that's why Ambrose is going to have to go back to sleeping under highways and mutilating his body in a gymnasium for some spare change," said Triple H.
SETH ROLLINS DEF. ROB VAN DAM & BIG E LANGSTON TO RETAIN THE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP: After retaining the Intercontinental Championship last Friday on SmackDown in two separate matches against Rob Van Dam and Big E Langston, Seth Rollins found himself defending his title against the both of them once again, this time in a Triple Threat match. As Big E had Van Dam in place for the Big Ending, Rollins leaped off of the rope and caught Big E with a knee to the side of his head. Van Dam laid motionless on the mat while Big E tried to get to his feet. Rollins would then run the ropes, delivering a Curb Stomp that sent Big E's face into Van Dam's! Rollins got the cover on Big E to get the win and retain his title.
Seth Rollins stood to his feet as he was handed back the Intercontinental Championship, raising it high in the air after another successful title defense. "Like him or hate him, Seth Rollins may be on his way to becoming a memorable Intercontinental Champion," said Jerry Lawler. "He's not going to just be a memorable champion, King. He's going to be the greatest champion!" said John Bradshaw Layfield. Rollins made his way up the entrance ramp, taunting the audience here in Roanoke. When he turned around, however, he was met with a Brogue Kick from Sheamus! The 'Celtic Warrior,' who had an exchange of words with Rollins earlier in the broadcast, stood tall as he scooped up the Intercontinental Championship, holding it while standing over Rollins' fallen body.
Backstage, Divas Champion AJ Lee and Kaitlyn were shown leaving the arena, AJ saying that she would like to keep her hairs intact, but Paige insists on ripping them out one by one. "I'm not ready to look like Krillin," said AJ before she and Kaitlyn were approached by Stephanie McMahon. "On behalf of The Committee, we would like to apologize for everything that Paige has done to you two. Managing the Divas division is my responsibility and I should keep all of the Divas in line," said Stephanie. "Thank you, boss lady! And, um, I'm not really in the mood to have Paige come out and attack me like a ghost out of thin air again until Extreme Rules. So, would it be possible for Kaitlyn and me to have the night off next Monday?" asked AJ. ".....I believe that time off is in order for the face of the Divas division," said Stephanie as AJ jumped and clapped with excitement. "Did you hear that? I'm the face of the Divas division!" said AJ to Kaitlyn. "Don't worry about Paige. I'll make sure that she stays very, very busy between now and Extreme Rules," said Stephanie.

A graphic was then shown for the match at Extreme Rules, which we now know will be a Tornado Tag match. The Usos challenge Randy Orton and Batista for the gold in thirteen nights!
UNITED STATES CHAMPION DERRICK BATEMAN DEF. KOFI KINGSTON IN A NON-TITLE TABLES MATCH: After assisting The Committee in their assault on Dean Ambrose earlier in the evening, Derrick Bateman was in action against Kofi Kingston in a Tables match, the same match-type that he will defend the United States Championship in at Extreme Rules against Roman Reigns. While Bateman maintained control for most of the match, Kingston was able to find momentum later on. He was able to connect with Trouble in Paradise as Bateman fell back onto the table. Kingston climbed onto the top rope, but before he could leap onto Bateman, he was pushed off by the Commissioner, Kane. "You have got to be kidding me!" stated Michael Cole on commentary as Kane took Kingston and planted him with a Chokeslam through the table!
"Ring the bell!" shouted Kane at the ringside staff. The bell quickly sounded as Kane then told the official to raise Derrick Bateman's arm, declaring the United States Champion as the winner despite the fact that it was Kane who put Kofi Kingston through the table. "You heard Triple H. Derrick Bateman is the future of the WWE. Kane is just protecting The Committee's investment," said John Bradshaw Layfield as he tried to justify Kane's actions. Bateman raised the United States Championship and Money in the Bank briefcase as Kane stood by his side. Suddenly, the crowd's reaction turned from boos to cheers as Roman Reigns slid into the ring! When Bateman turned around, he saw the 'One Man Army' charging at him. Bateman, however, was able to move out of harm's way, resulting in Kane being struck with a Spear! Reigns got to his feet and let out a howl as Bateman hurried up the entrance ramp, trying to get away from the man who has targeted him since WrestleMania. There will be nowhere for Bateman to run in thirteen days when he meets Reigns at Extreme Rules!
Backstage, Antonio Cesaro was shown walking down a corridor with Paul Heyman and Kassius Ohno at his side. The 'King of Swing' has an opportunity at the WWE Championship when he meets John Cena in our main event, next!

Prior to the start of the main event, a graphic was shown to confirm what we believed earlier in the evening.

JOHN CENA W/ CM PUNK & WADE BARRETT DEF. ANTONIO CESARO W/ PAUL HEYMAN & KASSIUS OHNO TO RETAIN THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP: Last Friday on SmackDown, John Cena managed to retain his WWE Championship against Kassius Ohno. Tonight, Cena put the gold on the line against Paul Heyman's other client, Antonio Cesaro, in a fantastic main event. CM Punk and Wade Barrett stood at ringside, neither appearing to be amused by the idea of watching Cena's back from now until Extreme Rules. Towards the conclusion of the bout, Cena was attempting to deliver an Attitude Adjustment, but Cesaro managed to land on his feet and take the WWE Champion down, spinning him around with the Cesaro Swing! After a plethora of rotations, Cesaro released his hold on Cena as he remained in a corner, telling the official that he tweaked his ankle. With the official occupied, Paul Heyman delivered a shot to Cena's jaw. Punk then walked towards Heyman, scaring him away. Kassius Ohno, however, slid into the ring, looking to strike Cena with a Roaring Elbow. Wade Barrett entered the ring and took Ohno down, their brawl spilling to the outside. After Ohno raked the eyes of Barrett, Punk slid into the ring and leaped through the second rope onto Ohno! Punk and Barrett stared at each other for a bit, the two of them still wanting to tear the other apart much more than they wanted to team up. Cesaro would then leap off of the top rope, crashing onto Punk and Barrett. Punk, Barrett and Ohno were all down at ringside as Cesaro rolled back into the ring, but Cena was able to place him in position for the STF. Cesaro managed to quickly reach the ropes, Cena pulling the 'King of Swing' back into the center of the ring. Cesaro kicked the WWE Champion away, giving him a bit of time to get to his feet. Cena ran towards Cesaro, but was struck with a Swiss Death Uppercut! Cesaro snapped his neck before placing Cena in position for the Neutralizer, the audience rising to its feet. "Cesaro is going to do it!" said Michael Cole on commentary. Cesaro hoisted Cena up, planting him with the Neutralizer! "We've got us a new champion!" said John Bradshaw Layfield as Cesaro got the cover, but somehow, Cena was able to narrowly kick out in time! The audience reacted heavily as nearly every member of the WWE Universe believed that Cesaro was about to be crowned the new WWE Champion. The 'King of Swing' quickly went back on the attack, looking to deliver another Neutralizer. Cena, however, was able to counter the maneuver and place Cesaro on his shoulders. Cena spun around a few times, giving his own "swing" to Cesaro. Cena would then deliver an Attitude Adjustment, covering Cesaro to finally get the victory.
"Cena retains! What a match!" said Michael Cole on commentary as a mixed reaction emerged from the audience in Roanoke. The winded John Cena slowly rose to his feet as he was handed back the WWE Championship, raising it high in the air after a war with Antonio Cesaro. Several highlights from the match were shown, including the involvement from CM Punk, Wade Barrett and Kassius Ohno. Returning to the live feed, Cena was joined in the ring by Punk and Barrett, who both simply stared at the champion. Cena pointed to the WWE Title, saying that it's not about that right now. It's about Extreme Rules, where the three of them will team up to take on Antonio Cesaro, Kassius Ohno and Brock Lesnar.
Cutting to the office of The Committee, Triple H, Stephanie McMahon, Randy Orton, Batista and Derrick Bateman were all shown watching a television monitor as the Commissioner, Kane, sat on a couch while holding his ribs, still feeling the effects of Roman Reigns' Spear. "You think they're ready for Extreme Rules?" asked Stephanie, referring to John Cena, CM Punk and Wade Barrett. "Not yet, but that gives me the opportunity for something. Cena, Punk and Barrett need to coexist because the main event of Extreme Rules is what's best for business and I can't have their three egos clashing and ruining that," said Hunter before turning to Orton, Batista and Bateman. "This Friday on SmackDown, Cena, Punk and Barrett will be put to the test when they go up against the three of you," said Hunter as a huge smile came over the face of Derrick Bateman. "Derrick, stay focused on the task at hand, which is to win. But.......if John Cena is vulnerable and you have the right opening at the right time.........do it," said Triple H, the COO giving Bateman the green light to cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase on SmackDown this Friday if the opportunity presents itself.

WWE WrestleMania XXIX: Sunday 7th April 2013...Alright, I'm very behind on this diary. So, to rectify this my next two replies will focus on your previous two pay-per-view events (including your May event). First of all, you have done a masterful job of promoting WrestleMania, probably the best I have seen in the history of this board. From the match-to-match hype write-ups, to the WrestleMania Kickoff show too. It was pretty strange to see Ryback and Rusev compete on the Kickoff show - but given that Rusev hasn't been pushed and isn't established yet that makes perfect sense. Personally I feel you have pulled the trigger too quickly on a Flag match stipulation, and it seems like you are pushing Ryback stronger than Rusev at this point. While it's good for a babyface to kick off the biggest show of the year with a win to awaken the crowd, I can't help but think about whether this will impact the potential of Rusev in the future. Onto the main show, we have a cracker of an opening contest here, and I have to say I really like the layout of this show and the write-up, as per usual. Seems to be a lot more well described and defined than your average television show. I'm not sure about a two out of three falls match opening WrestleMania, though - honestly, I would have waited until the May pay-per-view for this one. Additionally, I feel like the wrong man won this one. Chris Jericho is already a multiple time Intercontinental Champion and far more established than this level of a title - additionally it potentially hurts Dean Ambrose's future in my eyes. However I have no doubt that you plan on giving Ambrose his heat back. It just feels strange to me at this point. A feelgood start, otherwise. Great few interviews spliced in between matches, as we begin the finals of this Divas Championship tournament between Paige and AJ Lee. I'm not entirely sure how it would react with the audience of the MetLife Stadium - but I'm sure it was a decent match despite potentially bored looking near three-digit thousand fans. Paige retaining the title was a shocker given the storyline of AJ in this one, but I like it. A nice show of respect after the match, and I like the punchline with Paige and AJ "redefining" the division. Wow, this is a huge studded Money in the Bank ladder match: and while I appreciate that you're trying to cram so much talent into one match, I always did hate the concept of a ten man Money in the Bank match. Additionally, I can't help but find it overkill that this is happening just five weeks after an NXT Money in the Bank ladder match, you know? I would have spaced the NXT match somewhere later in the year to allow breathing room, but oh well. This is a match anyone could win, given that they all have potential to do great things excluding Rob Van Dam and maybe Sheamus and Alberto Del Rio at this point. And I was certainly surprised to see Derrick Bateman of all superstars get the win - though it is great. A nice splur of spots throughout this one, and I am looking forward to seeing you evolve Bateman's character to a point where he can become a main eventer (maybe). I'm sort of comparing Bateman's rise to success to Kurt Angle's in the year 2000. Maybe it's because of their similar goofball personas, though. Up next, a second multi-man match in a row? I suppose you had no choice here. A four-way match for the World Heavyweight Championship is something I've always wanted to do with WrestleMania - and the best part is that this one makes the perfect sense to me. One hell of amatch, I like the meetings of background behind Cody Rhodes and Kurt Angle; Dolph Ziggler and Cody Rhodes' history, and the inclusion of Daniel Bryan since winning the Royal Rumble (or coming close - I forget). Additionally in retrospect, I like that Bryan won this multi-man match to win the Big One, taking home the World Heavyweight Championship. This match came across as perfect, making Bryan's rise to the top look even more impressive and unforeseeable. I wonder who his first adversary will be - I'm just wondering when Angle will get a shot at the World title now. Okay, I guess Angle's career is done. If so, fitting closure to have Bryan get the win over him. A very historic moment in modern day WWE - I'm not sure where you will take Bryan from here, though. Kaitlyn watching AJ Lee cry was a little strange, I forgot that she was the third wheel in the Divas Championship storyline. I guess she will be the next Diva to challenge Paige for the title. Nice segment with Derrick Bateman, that was really nicely done and I hope to see more of it as you continue to establish his character as it evolves. Up next, the next big challenge for Tag Team Champions Joe Hennig and Ted Dibiase - I'm impressed, aren't they nearing one year as the top stars in the tag team division? Batista and Randy Orton as a tag team sounds good, and personally I would have preferred them winning the titles here - it hurts Orton and Batista to lose to Hennig and Dibiase at WrestleMania - cleanly, too. I understand that you are focusing on the next generation tonight as the theme goes: but I'm not sure about them getting the win against arguably two of the biggest stars of the past ten years. They've been solid Tag Team Champions, but I wouldn't rank them higher than Batista and Orton, y'know? Not any day. Perhaps this is the climax of Batista and Orton's association. I could see tempers flaring up after that loss. Next, a solid match between Brock Lesnar and Wade Barrett but the right man won here. Lesnar continues to look unstoppable in this No Holds Barred environment: and to top it off it makes Barrett look even better than before thanks to his hard-hitting, resilient attitude, per se. On top of that, Barrett knocked out Paul Heyman. Great stuff. Next, I loved Bray Wyatt's special entrance; and despite my previous skeptical response towards Wyatt facing the Undertaker at WrestleMania XXIX despite only being on television for ten months: in that ten months you have made Wyatt look strong enough and credible enough to look convincing in this role. I have no doubt that his star may not shine so brightly going forwards, but if you plan on creating a new "Undertaker"-esque role in the WWE - Bray Wyatt is the closest thing to it. Wyatt would be masterful at special appearances and continuing to appear mysterious, much like Undertaker has been previously. A great storyline-driven match showing the revenge of the 'Taker after all of the antics, and more importantly paying tribute for Paul Bearer: it was a good decision to not have the streak beaten here. And personally, I hope it never happens. My only issue came with the post-match, though. Wyatt seemed to be fully axed by the double-team work by Undertaker and Kane. Can't help but feel that it was too much. I also feel like since only the WWE Championship is left - a buffer would have suited this much better. You had a live musician perform earlier on, but it should have happened here to allow the fans to calm down or re-energise them after an exhausting three hours going into the main event. At this stage in the show, I feel the MetLife Stadium would be exhausted. Anyway, a solid triple threat match to main event WrestleMania - although another complaint here with the multi-man matches with two multi-man bouts for both WWE and World Heavyweight Championships. Maybe I'm just being picky. At least this triple threat match definitely makes sense. Seeing John Cena come out victorious made the most sense though, with CM Punk being a heel and the Rock probably going away again after tonight. But all in all, this was the most ideal close to WrestleMania possible, but yet another show of respect between superstars signalling a "passing of the torch". I can't help but feel that this is too much. But that's the theme of the show, I suppose. Overall, this was a MASSIVE show, even for WrestleMania standards. And although the booking was extraordinary, you run the issue of matching this next year. This was a super, super stacked show that maybe had too much on it, but it's fine because it fit the overall narrative of what WrestleMania is. I'm looking forward to seeing how you continue after this, I will reply to Extreme Rules in the future.

It seems The Committee has more or less become The Authority just under a different name, I can't say that I am surprised or that it shocks me in the slightest because it doesn't and Cena having to defend his WWE Championship yet again this time against Paul Heyman's other client Cesaro in tonight's main event that should be an interesting match to say the least considering Ohno he almost beat Cena to become WWE Champion taking Cena to the absolute limit I have no doubt that Cesaro would be able to do the same
13 MORE NIGHTS until Extreme Rules and Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan's segment with Mick Foley of all people I wasn't counting on it being Foley of all people but Foley he has history with The Undertaker because it was Undertaker who in part shortened Foley's career not only in Hell in a Cell way back in 1998 but Foley faced Taker in Buried Alive and yes if anyone knows what he's talking about as far as Taker goes it's Mick Foley but Bray Wyatt and the Wyatt Family leaving Mick Foley laying you can just bet The Undertaker is somewhere watching this and if he is you can bet he is ready for Bray Wyatt that he is ready for Extreme Rules that he is ready for Buried Alive but is Bray Wyatt?
The Usos beating The Real Americans, with them beating Swagger & Benjamin it just goes to show us that Jey & Jimmy could be in line for a future WWE Tag Team Championship shot and if they are they are going to have to face the WWE Tag Team Champions Batista & Orton at some point and Batista & Orton flashing their titles to The Usos I definitely can't wait for this match to happen
The New Age Outlaws Billy Gunn and Road Dogg also being a part of The Committee makes sense considering they are best friends with both Triple H and Stephanie so it would make sense for them to be a part of The Committee and these 2 being in charge of having to find Ambrose, Ambrose will probably just take out both Road Dogg and Billy Gunn
The Miz beating Sheamus to move on to the Finals of the World Heavyweight Championship tournament, Miz being all that much closer to getting himself a World Heavyweight Championship match in your diary Miz has pretty much done it all in this business except winning the World Heavyweight Championship that is the one title that has eluded The Miz, the big gold belt, Miz hasn't won that yet but with him winning this tournament he could go on to face Bryan for the World Heavyweight Championship and if it happens it would make a whole hell of a lot of sense considering Miz and Bryan have history because of Bryan's time in NXT and Miz being his Pro think about it, but I wonder where this leaves Sheamus now?
Wrestling Royalty the former WWE Tag Team Champions DiBiase & Hennig are so right about Batista, Orton and Triple H, Triple H wanted them gone he wanted them out of the way so that his boys Batista and Orton could become WWE Tag Team Champions, blatant favoritism on Triple H's part because if it were not favoritism then Triple H would have fined, he would have suspended both Batista and Orton but he didn't do that and why? Because he wanted DiBiase & Hennig gone he wanted to make sure that they were no longer WWE Tag Team Champions well he got his wish because Batista and Orton took them out and DiBiase bringing up Evolution it makes sense think about it and Triple H the COO cutting their satellite feed and why is that? Because he knows damn well that Hennig and DiBiase are on to him and the fans obviously know it too
Paige beating Kaitlyn w/WWE Divas Champion AJ, Paige in the process sending a message to AJ that at Extreme Rules it will not only be every diva for herself but that in Last Diva Standing anything and everything goes and this is the first ever Last Diva Standing Match I mean this match won't be for the faint of heart that's for sure it will be as nasty as brutal as vicious at they come and the physicality we will see in that match at Extreme Rules I wonder if any woman or child will be able to watch it?
Ambrose being nowhere in sight for Road Dogg & Billy Gunn, it is obvious that Ambrose is much too smart for them and he has something in store for Triple H and his cronies
Rusev hasn't been seen since WrestleMania 29 ever since he lost to Big Hungry ever since he lost to Ryback but with Rusev bursting back on to the scene it is only a matter of time before he does and when he does I can see Rusev going on a tear and just destroying everyone and anyone
Sheamus' segment backstage and Rollins the WWE Intercontinental Champion being the one to interrupt Sheamus almost makes me think that there will be an eventual program between Rollins and Sheamus with the WWE Intercontinental Championship being on the line and if it happens then it will most likely be at Extreme Rules
Ziggler and Kidd's World Heavyweight Championship tournament match ending in a Double Countout means that Miz wins the tournament by default but oh wait the World Heavyweight Champion Bryan saying how he doesn't want the tournament to end like this and I am sure the fans don't want it either and the WWE Commissioner Kane of the Committee coming out pretty much announcing that this Friday on Smackdown there will be a Triple Threat Match and the winner of that will be the one who faces Bryan for the World Heavyweight Championship at Extreme Rules, Miz vs Ziggler vs Kidd, I am calling it Ziggler wins
Ambrose's segment with The Committee and it all ending in Ambrose being ambushed by not only Triple H, Stephanie, Kane but the WWE Tag Team Champions Batista & Orton attacking Ambrose and then Mr. Money in the Bank Derrick Bateman getting in on this it makes me wonder if Batista, Orton and Bateman are all a part of The Committee now? Triple H the COO firing Ambrose, you can bet that Ambrose even though he is fired he will probably show up at every RAW and or Smackdown unannounced until they are forced to give him his job back attacking each Committee member until they give him back his job or I can see Ambrose going over their heads and Vince ends up being the one who re-hires Ambrose
Rollins beating Big E and RVD in a Triple Threat to retain his WWE Intercontinental Championship, beating not one but 2 men in the same match as opposed to having 2 matches for his title in the same night this just proves that Rollins if he can beat multiple opponents in the same match that he is for real as WWE Intercontinental Champion and that no one can beat him for his title, but cue Sheamus attacking Rollins after he just went through a Triple Threat, I knew it, Rollins vs Sheamus for the WWE Intercontinental Championship and if it happens it will be at Extreme Rules
AJ being named the Face of the Divas Division well it makes sense considering she is WWE Divas Champion and her being given the night off by Stephanie as well as Kaitlyn being given the night off, it seems Stephanie is going all out to protect her pet project AJ but Paige I know she will be able to beat whichever divas are placed in front of her and why? Because all she will see are both Kaitlyn and AJ when she is beating whatever diva she is in the ring with
If anything Kofi should have won the match considering the WWE Commissioner Kane got involved attacking Kofi in his match with Mr. Money in the Bank Bateman but Bateman is given the win how does that work? But just when Bateman and Kane are about to inflict more damage on Kofi, here comes Reigns with the save and Bateman getting the hell out of dodge but Kane gets a Spear for his trouble, I wonder if Reigns just by doing that if he has made himself a target for The Committee now?
And in the main event Cena beating yet another Paul Heyman Guy beating yet another Paul Heyman client this time it being Cesaro, it seems Cena is ready for Extreme Rules and since he is Cena I wonder if he will still be WWE Champion after Extreme Rules? Because the Committee their golden boy the crown jewel the future Mr. Money in the Bank himself Bateman could cash in on Cena and become WWE Champion and if that happens then well...but Cena having to team with Barrett and Punk to face off against Bateman, Batista and Orton next week on RAW, will Cena and his team be able to co-exist given his ego, Punk's ego as well as Barrett's all coinciding and you can bet Cesaro, Lesnar and Ohno will be watching

MONDAY NIGHT RAW. An awesome opening promo here, featuring Mick Foley and his modern day counterpart, Bray Wyatt. Fabulous segment that did a great job of promoting the Buried Alive Match in two weeks, ding ding - you son of a bitch. The Usos becoming number one contenders is fine by me, a shot at Batista and Orton's title is deserved by them. Find Dean Ambrose, Gunn and Road Dogg. Sounds like Noble and Mercury to me! The Miz defeating Sheamus really surprises me here, but you've made surprising choices in this tournament already. I don't like the name of The Committee. It's original, but I don't like it. It's the ing Authority, gosh darn it! Rage face. Anyway, a good promo from Wrestling Royalty calling out Triple H and getting cut off. Things are heated, Maggle! Paige beating Kaitlyn, not much of a surprise. She only would have lost had AJ gotten involved. I fully expect AJ to retain at Extreme Rules in the Last Diva Standing match that should be pretty good. Zack Ryder in the women's restroom... really? REALLY? BRO... A feud between Sheamus and Seth Rollins could be a good one. I know I gave them a short one in June, so you're a copy cat. Tyson Kidd and Dolph Ziggler going to a double count out led to a comical moment for Miz. A triple threat on Smackdown should be good and I expect Ziggler to walk away the winner. Miz and Kidd as the other two is pretty neat, though, especially the latter. I'm interested to see if you take him anywhere. DEAN AMBROSE IS BEATING UP THE AUTHORITY, MAGGLE! OH SNAP, HE'S FIRED MAGGLE! HE'S FIRED! We all know he'll be back. I'm looking forward to see what antics you put him through in the process of doing so. Seth Rollins defending the Intercontinental Championship the way he is, I really like. Gives him a lot of promotion. Try making him a 350 day champion like me, though. Har har, hardy har. Sheamus with the Brogue Kick, certainly building towards a title match at Extreme Rules. Should be decent. Bateman beating Kofi Kingston in a tables match to preview Extreme Rules was fine, kind of a bit much to go with a tables match I think as it seems kind of too much promotion for his match - especially against Kingston. I would have preferred him do the regular match and then put Kofi through a table. But, it's fine. I still expect Derrick to retain at Extreme Rules. Finally, a huge main event that would have been fabulous as we've seen them put on great matches. A good rub for Cesaro to get the opportunity as well. A good match set up for Smackdown as well, and a very good episode of Raw.

#BestForBusiness | Following the signature WWE intro, cameras cut directly to the Full Sail Arena where Eden Stiles made a very special introduction. "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the COO of WWE, Triple H!" A mixed response emerged from the audience as 'The Game' made his way down to the ring here on a huge edition of WWE NXT, where we will determine who wll challenge Adam Cole for the NXT Championship at NXT Take Over in three weeks on WWE.com. Triple H stepped into the ring and took a microphone, saying that it's nice to be able to get away from the chaotic nature of Monday Night RAW and Friday Night SmackDown. "Then again, I wouldn't have it any other way. NXT is my brain child. And because of that, I want to make sure that the NXT product excels as much as possible. Recently over on the main roster, there's been a few changes to management. Changes that have seen my wife and me take charge, along with the new WWE Commissioner, Kane. With RAW and SmackDown now in good hands, I asked myself if I can say the same for NXT. That's why I have come here to Full Sail University tonight to announce that Ricardo Rodriguez has been removed from his position as the General Manager of NXT," said Triple H. The audience showed their displeasure for the decision as Hunter continued on, saying that he believed that a new direction was in order for management on NXT. "That's why I am pleased to announce that effective immediately, there is a new man in charge. This man has proven in the past to have the credentials necessary to take charge of a brand. Mistakes did hinder his image in the eyes of many, but I've decided to give him a second chance and allow him to do what everyone else on NXT is doing at the moment - develop. Ladies and gentlemen, the new General Manager of NXT........Brad Maddox!" A resounding amount of boos filled the atmosphere as Maddox, who we had not seen in quite some time, made his way down to the ring. "This man nearly ran Monday Night RAW to the ground and we're supposed to trust him as the NXT General Manager?!?" asked Renee Young on commentary as Byron Saxton stated that Triple H would not have made this decision if he didn't believe that it was best for business. Hunter and Maddox shook hands in the center of the ring, a sight that the world never believed that they would see. "I'm back," said Maddox slowly to even more boos from the NXT Universe. "It's no secret that the past number of months have been a nightmare for me. I was the General Manager of Monday Night RAW, but it was all taken away from me at Survivor Series. Then, my last two remaining Administration members, The Miz and Roman Reigns, proceeded to turn on me. No one in WWE trusted me with any position. I asked if I could be a commentator, but everyone at the broadcast table refused to work with me. The trainers down at the WWE Performance Center would not take the time to train me to become an active competitor. I was running out of options and it even got to the point where I was ready to go back to my old job as a janitor. That's when I tried one final time. I went to The Committee and I asked if there was anything, anything that I could do. Triple H, Stephanie McMahon and Kane were all kind enough to give me a second chance and allow me to take charge of NXT as its General Manager. Now before you all press the panic button, I learned my lesson last year. I am not going to band together a group of superstars and try to place the focus of the product entirely on them," said Maddox, which was ironic considering that the man standing next to him, Triple H, was seemingly doing just that with Randy Orton, Batista and Derrick Bateman. "I am going to be a fair General Manager. No favortism whatsoever on my part. Everyone will have a chance to succeed and make their way to the top of NXT. I assure everyone of that," said Maddox as the reaction was still hostile, the audience members not buying his sincerity. Triple H and Maddox then left the ring as the entrance music of Sir Kenneth hit. He and William Regal stepped out onto the stage, the two greeting Hunter and Maddox. "I guess The Committee approves of Sir Kenneth and William Regal, said Jason Alberts on commentary. Kenneth and Regal continued on their way to the ring, the former set to take on Adrian Neville, next!
|
| COMMERCIAL BREAK | #NevilleVsKenneth | ADRIAN NEVILLE DEF. SIR KENNETH W/ WILLIAM REGAL: The first match here on NXT under the reign of Brad Maddox as the new General Manager. A rematch from NXT: Anniversary last month, where Adrian Neville managed to pick up the victory via disqualification. After Neville delivered an Enziguri to Sir Kenneth, William Regal stepped onto the ring apron in an attempt to create a distraction. Neville, however, eliminated Regal as a factor by connecting with a Dropkick. 'The Man That Gravity Forgot' followed that up by heading to the top turnbuckle, successfully hitting the Red Arrow to pick up the victory.
A great response embered from the Full Sail audience as Adrian Neville stood to his feet, having his arm raised in victory by the official after finally managing to put Sir Kenneth and William Regal away. Highlights from the match were shown, concluding with a slow motion replay of the Red Arrow. As Neville headed up the entrance ramp, both Kenneth and William Regal were shown in the ring fuming, telling Neville that their rivalry was still far from over.
A video package was shown for one of the competitors in tonight's Fatal Four Way match, Corey Graves. The 'Savior of Misbehavior' stated that for one year, he and Jake Carter ruled the tag team division, even appearing on Monday Night RAW to deliver a beating to the team that many are calling the next WWE Tag Team Champions, The Usos. "The NXT Universe passed me off as just another 'tag team guy.' I am more than a part of a well-oiled machine. Tonight, I take one step further to proving the WWE Universe that I am the future of this company. Tonight, it's Zayn, Bennett and Enzo. At Take Over, it's Adam Cole and the NXT Championship. Sooner than later, the entire NXT locker room, as well as the WWE locker room, will know that when you stand in the way of Corey Graves, you only have one option - stay down."
|
| COMMERCIAL BREAK | #EmmaVsMarie | Returning to NXT on ION Television, another video package was shown for one of the four competitors in tonight's main event. Enzo Amore said that he admits that he hasn't been in NXT all that long, but in that time, he's put the world on notice. "I'm the hottest thing to walk through the door since that large pizza that you provided a tasty tip for. How you doin'? Corey Graves? Those tattoos have no purpose other than to hide the goosebumps that run down your arm when you see me walking down that ramp. Michael Bennett? He's out of his mind if he thinks that I'm just going to lay down for him. I would gladly lay down in that ring if Maria were in the match, but not for his sorry carcas. And Sami Zayn. It seems like every time we're out there, there's some competition between us to see who the people love more. You got your fanbase, no doubt about it. But 'Ole! Ole!' doesn't win championships. You got to have the charisma, check. The ability, check. The look, check. Basically, to be a champion in this game, there's one thing that you cannot be and that's S-A-W-F-T, SAWFT! That's a message for you three chumps, and even you, Adam Cole, 'bay bay!'"
NXT WOMEN'S CHAMPION EMMA DEF. AUDREY MARIE IN A NON-TITLE MATCH: Two weeks ago on NXT, Emma fell short to Sasha Banks, giving 'The Boss' a shot at the NXT Women's Championship at Take Over in three weeks. After Sasha continued her roll last week, it was now Emma's turn to pick up some momentum. Audrey Marie, who was making her return to action, was placed in the Emma Lock early on, having no choice but to submit.
Emma released the Emma Lock as the Full Sail Audience went wild for one of their favorites. Emma was handed back the NXT Women's Championship as she raised it high in the air while also performing her signature dance. Next week, Emma and Sasha Banks will meet face-to-face in the ring, just two weeks before they are set to do battle at Take Over for the NXT Women's Championship.
At this time, the third video package for the number one contenders main event was shown, this time focusing on Sami Zayn. The video began with highlights of Zayn's NXT career thus far, but the screen would soon turn to black and white as footage of his loss to Kassius Ohno at NXT ArRival was shown. "My match against Kassius Ohno was the most heartbreaking moment of my career. I was right there, I had the NXT Championship pretty much in my hands, but ultimately, I couldn't hold onto it. Look where that victory got Kassius. Because of that match, he is now on the main roster and will be headlining Extreme Rules. I got a standing ovation after that match and I appreciate the NXT Universe for their kindness, but I can't overlook the fact that I lost. Fortunately, I've been granted a second chance. All I have to do tonight is defeat Corey Graves, Enzo Amore and Michael Bennett. Once that's done, I move on to Take Over. I'm not going to lie, I was a bit envious of Adam Cole when I watched him defeat Kassius Ohno to win the NXT Championship. It pained me to know that he could get the job done and I couldn't. Take Over is my chance at redemption, though. I will win the number one contenders match tonight. I will defeat Adam Cole at Take Over and I will become the NXT Champione," said Zayn.
|
| COMMERCIAL BREAK | #BoRotundoHotline | Returning to NXT, Devin Taylor was backstage standing by with the NXT Tag Team Champions, The Alpha Wolves. Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards entered the picture as Devin asked them for their thoughts on the competition in NXT's tag team division. Richards said that he and Edwards came into NXT ready for the biggest challenge of their careers, but thus far, that hasn't exactly been the case. "You've got four guys competing tonight for an opportunity at the NXT Championship. That's competition. Emma and Sasha Banks are at each others' throats for the NXT Women's Championship. That's competition. Ever since we defeated Corey Graves and Jake Carter at ArRival for these championships, competition has not really been that prominent in the tag team division," said Richards. Edwards then said that because of that, they're going to give the world of professional wrestling the same opportunity that they had. "Back at NXT ArRival, we answered an open challenge and took home these titles. At Take Over, we're issuing a challenge of our own to any tag team in the world. We don't care where you work right now. It could be WWE. It could be NXT. It could be any other promotion in America or around the world. Show up to Full Sail University on May 29th and see if you have what it takes to put down The Alpha Wolves," said Edwards.
Cutting to the Full Sail Arena, the commentary trio of Byron Saxton, Renee Young and Jason Alberts briefly gave their thoughts on the upcoming Fatal Four Way match to determine the new number one contender for the NXT Championship. Alberts said that the wild card in this match is Michael Bennett. "We haven't seen as much of Bennett as we have the other competitors. And with Maria in his corner to act as the difference maker, it's hard to bet against 'The Prodigy' in this one," said Alberts. Renee stated that while she agrees that Bennett is a favorite, she doesn't know if anyone wants to become the number one contender as badly as Sami Zayn. "He was right there at NXT ArRival, but Kassius Ohno was able to just narrowly escape with the title. Zayn knows what it takes to get there and we could see him back in that spot at Take Over," she said. As the discussion continued, the three of them were interrupted by the arrival of Bo Rotundo. The 'Inspirational Superstar' made his way out onto the stage, saying that it was very thoughtful of the NXT Universe to come out to the show tonight despite the fact that he is not competing. "I apologize that I am not a part of tonight's Fatal Four Way match, but don't lose hope, everyone. My loss to Sami Zayn a few weeks ago was only a minor setback for a major comeback. Even though I am not in line for a shot at the NXT Championship, I come to you all this evening with some wonderful news! After I traveled to BO-livia to deliver water guns to hundreds of starving children, I began to work on something that I call the 'Bo Rotundo Hotline.' And tonight, I am announcing that it is up an running! All that you have to do is call 1-800-BOLIEVE and you will have the opportunity to speak personally to me for words of encouragement. Because I care about all of you and I know that the feeling is mutual between us. So please, call the Bo Rotundo Hotline. I encourage all members of the NXT Universe, as well as the NXT roster and heck, even the WWE roster! Call now because I bolieve in you!" The audience booed Rotundo as he raised his arms in the air, giving a wide grin to the world after announcing the launch of the 'Bo Rotundo Hotline.'
The final of the video packages for the main event was shown, this time focusing on Michael Bennett. "Last month, I made me debut here in NXT and I put the world on notice. I said that sooner rather than later, I could become NXT Champion and I can count with two fingers the amount of people who took my word for it. Myself and my girlfriend, Maria. Actually, Maria, get into the picture for a second," said Bennett as Maria entered the scene. "Get a good look at the world's most beautiful woman. All of you fat, pathetic slobs in the NXT Universe, realize that you will never, EVER have someone such as Maria on your arm. Sami Zayn, Enzo Amore, Corey Graves, realize that you three will NEVER become NXT Champion. That honor is reserved for 'The Prodigy' and it comes at Take Over."
A graphic was shown for the Fatal Four Way number one contenders match, which is coming up next. Who will earn the right to challenge Adam Cole for the NXT Championship at NXT Take Over? We will find out next!

| COMMERCIAL BREAK | #FatalFourWay | A promo was shown for Extreme Rules, live Sunday May 19th, only on Pay-Per-View.
SAMI ZAYN DEF. MICHAEL BENNETT W/ MARIA KANELLIS, ENZO AMORE & COREY GRAVES IN A FATAL FOUR WAY ELIMINATION MATCH TO BECOME THE NUMBER ONE CONTENDER FOR THE NXT CHAMPIONSHIP: One of the biggest main events in the history of NXT. The four top contenders would do battle in an elimination-style Fatal Four Way match to determine the number one contender for the NXT Championship. After Sami Zayn delivered a Suicide Dive onto Corey Graves, Michael Bennett taunted the audience as he had Enzo Amore down on the canvas. Amore, however, was able to catch Bennett by surprise with a small package, but couldn't get the job done. After the two were back on their feet, Amore caught Bennett with a few quick jabs, rocking 'The Prodigy.' Before Amore could finish the sequence, Maria Kanellis stood on the ring apron. Her poses were able to distract Amore as he focused solely on her. Bennett would capitalize by turning Amore around, planting him with the Box Office Smash to eliminate him. "SAWFT!" shouted Bennett, mocking Amore and the NXT Universe. Later on in the match, Bennett and Graves would work together to take out Zayn, placing him on the top turnbuckle as they were looking to deliver a double Suplex. Zayn was able to retaliate, however, pushing the two of them off. Zayn leaped off with a Flying Crossbody, Bennett moving out of the way and allowing Graves to take the maneuver. Graves was unable to get a shoulder up in time, eliminating him from the bout. Bennett and Zayn were the final two remaining, one of them destined for an NXT Championship match in three weeks at Take Over. After taking planting Zayn with a sitout Powerbomb, Bennett got the cover, but could not secure the victory. 'The Prodigy' stepped onto the second rope, shouting "Ole!" at the audience that booed him relentlessly. Bennett leaped off, but Zayn got a foot up and caught Bennett in the jaw with the sole of his boot. Bennett backed into the corner as Zayn got to his feet, charging into him with a Helluva Kick! Remembering that he was not able to put Kassius Ohno back at NXT ArRival with the kick, Zayn brought Bennett into the center of the ring and delivered a Brainbuster for good measure! Zayn got the cover on Bennett, getting the three count and the victory.
The roof just about came off of the Full Sail Arena as Sami Zayn stirred to his feet, his arm being raised in victory. "Sami Zayn has done it! Zayn has another opportunity at glory!" said Byron Saxton on commentary. Despite all of the doubts that Zayn placed on himself, he has defeated Michael Bennett, Enzo Amore and Corey Graves and is going to Take Over with a shot at the NXT Championship. However, there is still one man who stands in between him and the title. As Zayn was celebrating, the entrance music of Adam Cole hit. Cole made his way down to the ring, he and Zayn not taking their eyes off of one another. The two met in the ring as Cole raised the NXT Title, Zayn glaring at it before turning his attention back to the man he meets in three weeks. Adam Cole versus Sami Zayn for the NXT Championship at Take Over!

#Finals | DOLPH ZIGGLER DEF. THE MIZ & TYSON KIDD W/ NATAYLA IN A TRIPLE THREAT ELIMINATION MATCH TO WIN THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP NUMBER ONE CONTENDERS TOURNAMENT: Immediately following the signature WWE intro, The Miz was shown making his way down to the ring as no time would be wasted here tonight on SmackDown. Kicking things off would be the finals of the tournament to determine who will challenge Daniel Bryan for the World Heavyweight Championship in nine nights at Extreme Rules. After Miz was settled in the ring, Tyson Kidd's entrance music hit as he and Natalya made their way down to the ring, the former receiving boos from the WWE Universe. Natalya made an attempt to slap the hand of one of the audience members, but Kidd pulled her away from the crowd. Natalya tried to speak with her husband, but he simply ignored her, taking out his phone and turning the volume up on whatever he was listening to to zone out the negative response from the WWE Universe. Lastly, Dolph Ziggler was out to a huge pop, the former champion undoubtedly the favorite to leave this match with a victory and a chance to regain the World Championship at Extreme Rules. Later on in the match, Miz was attempting to deliver a Skull Crushing Finale to Kidd, but he was able to fight out of it. When Miz turned around, Ziggler caught him with a huge Superkick, covering the 'Awesome One' to get the elimination! As soon as Ziggler got to his feet, Kidd charged into him with a Yakuza Kick, but couldn't get the victory off of it. "The tournament has come down to this! Dolph Ziggler versus Tyson Kidd! Who will leave here tonight with a World Heavyweight Championship match at Extreme Rules?!" said Michael Cole on commentary. After Ziggler planted Kidd with a Sueprplex, the 'Show Off' was looking to hit the Zig Zag. Kidd, however, was able to keep a grip on the top rope, causing Ziggler to fall back onto the canvas. When Ziggler got to his feet, Kidd charged into him with the Busaiku Knee, the finishing move of the World Heavyweight Champion, Daniel Bryan. Kidd got the cover, but Ziggler was narrowly able to kick out. Kidd then placed Ziggler into position for a Tiger Driver, but Ziggler fought out of it, catching Kidd with a Superkick! Kidd backed into the ropes, springing back towards Ziggler, who caught him with another Superkick! Ziggler got the cover on Kidd to pick up the victory in both the match and the tournament.
"Dolph Ziggler is the number one contender!" shouted Michael Cole on commentary as the WWE Universe came unglued. The 'Show Off' stood to his feet, standing tall as a banner appeared on the bottom of the screen to confirm him as the number one contender for the World Heavyweight Championship. The commentators put over the performances of all competitors in the tournament, Tyson Kidd specifically. "Dolph Ziggler and The Miz came into this match having tasted championship glory before. Tyson Kidd has never been a World Champion, but he showed everyone in this tournament why he one day will be," said John Bradshaw Layfield. Ziggler st down in a corner as crew members brought a table down to the ring. The contract signing between Ziggler and Daniel Bryan would take place next on SmackDown!
|
| COMMERCIAL BREAK | #ContractSigning | Returning to Friday Night SmackDown, the ring was shown propped and ready for the contract signing between Daniel Bryan and Dolph Ziggler for their World Heavyweight Championship match at Extreme Rules. Michael Cole, who would be overseeing the signing, congratulated Ziggler on his victory before introducing the defending champion in nine nights at Extreme Rules, Daniel Bryan! The WWE Universe roared with excitement as Bryan made his way down to the ring, shouting "Yes!" repeatedly as usual. Bryan stepped into the ring and met Ziggler face-to-face. Cole said that before the contract can be signed by either superstar, a stipulation must be decided on. "I've been told that if the two of you do not decide what match you will be having at Extreme Rules, The Committee will select one themselves," said Cole. Bryan took a microphone and stated that while Extreme Rules is all about barbaric violence, it's clear that he and Ziggler do not that kind of environment. "We don't need weapons or blood or anything of that nature. All that you and I need is a wrestling ring. So here's what I am suggesting. At Extreme Rules, we do battle one more time for the World Heavyweight Championship. This is it. The final chapter in this story. And this match will not only determine who is the better man......it will also determine who is the Iron Man," said Bryan as the audience popped. "You and I go one-on-one in this ring. We put thirty minutes on the clock and whoever can score the most pinfalls or submissions leaves with the World Heavyweight Championship," said Bryan. A thunderous "yes!" chant broke out at Ziggler looked around the arena for a bit before picking up a microphone off of the table. "Daniel, before I give a response to the Iron Man match suggestion, let me get a few things off of my chest. You and I are a lot more alike than anyone thinks. When we step into this ring, we back up our claims to be the best in this industry. You and I were never supposed to make it this far. 'Oh, he's not important. He's never going to make us any money, so let's just throw some outfit on him and let him fade into obscurity before we hand him his pink slip.' That was the mindset of everyone. They never had any hopes for me to break through and grab the 'brass ring' that everyone always talks about but very few ever actually see. I was just another face on the roster until I took matters into my own hands and made a name for myself. In a matter of a few years, I went from being the laughing stock of the company to walking into their biggest show of the year as World Heavyweight Champion! Which brings me to you. At WrestleMania, it was your little running knee that cost me the World Championship. I had to sit in the locker room as you, Kurt Angle and Cody Rhodes damn-near killed each other for my title. I thought that maybe you had just gotten lucky. Then, I invoked my rematch clause and you proved me wrong, Daniel You proved that you do deserve to be World Champion. I had to work my way through a tournament just to be get back into contention and here we are now. You want an Iron Man match at Extreme Rules? You want to spend thirty minutes of your life being shown up by the best damn profession wrestler walking the face of the earth today? You're on!" said Ziggler as he took the contract and signed it. The audience continued to go wild as Bryan signed the contract, the match being made official. The two continued to stare at each other until they were interrupted by the entrance music of Tyson Kidd hit. Kidd made his way down to the ring with a microphone in his hands, airing his grievances to the world. "Nobody wants to see Daniel Bryan versus Dolph Ziggler yet again, much less an Iron Man match. Thirty minutes of torture is what this match will be. I should be the number one contender! I should be competing in this match at Extreme Rules, but instead, I have to go home and figure out how to explain to my cat why daddy isn't going to become the World Heavyweight Champion in nine day!" said Kidd as he stepped into the ring. "I am the best athlete standing in this ring right now. FACT! I am the only man qualified to be World Champion. FACT! Everybody wants to see Tyson Kidd in the main event scene. FACT! I AM BETTER THAN EVERYONE ON THIS AND ANY ROSTER IN THE WORLD! FACT! FACT! FACT!" shouted Kidd while stomping his feet on the canvas. "Here's another fact, Tyson. Contract signings never end peacefully," said Ziggler as he kicked Kidd in the mid-section. Both Ziggler and Bryan then placed Kidd in position for a tag-team Suplex, hitting it through the table! Kidd remained down on top of the remains of the table as Bryan picked up the World Heavyweight Championship, thrusting it in the air while shouting "Yes!" with the WWE Universe. Who will come out on top in the thirty-minute Iron Man match at Extreme Rules?

| COMMERCIAL BREAK | #UsosVsPTP
| THE USOS DEF. THE PRIME TIME PLAYERS: This past Monday on RAW, The Usos managed to pick up a victory in a Fatal Four Way Tag Team match to earn an opportunity at Randy Orton and Batista's WWE Tag Team Championships. After Superkicking Darren Young, Jimmy Uso climbed onto the top turnbuckle and came down with a Superfly Splash to pick up the victory.
A solid pop emerged from the audience as Jimmy and Jey Uso stood tall in the ring, their arms being raised by the official. "The Usos pick up some more momentum on their way to Extreme Rules," said Michael Cole on commentary. Suddenly, Randy Orton and Batista, who are set to compete in tonight's main event, hit the ring through the audience, attacking The Usos from behind. Batista planted Jey with a Spinebuster before throwing him out to ringside. Jimmy attempted to retaliate, but was planted with an RKO for his troubles. Batista then took a chair from ringside, placing Jimmy's ankle in it. Orton and Batista intended on doing to Jimmy what they did to Joe Hennig and Ted DiBiase, which cost Wrestling Royalty the Tag Team Championships. Batista stepped on the second rope, but before he could jump onto the chair, Jey Uso slid into the ring with a steel chair of his own. He swung it at Orton and Batista, both high-tailing out of the ring. The WWE Tag Team Champions made their way up the entrance ramp as Jey tended to Jimmy in the ring, The Usos nearly suffering the same fate as Wrestling Royalty.
Backstage, Renee Young was shown standing by with Natalya. The daughter of 'The Anvil' stepped into the picture as she was asked for her thoughts after seeing her husband, Tyson Kidd, come up short against Dolph Ziggler in the finals of the number one contenders tournament. "Despite Tyson's behavior as of late, he is still my husband and I love him more than anything in the world. He has such passion for the wrestling business, so to see him come so close to earning a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship, only to lose, was crushing. However, this isn't the end for him. Tyson will work his way into the World Title picture. Right now, though, I have to focus on my 4-on-2 Handicap match tonight when I team up with Paige to take on whoever Stephanie McMahon has lined up for us," said Natalya. Suddenly, Tyson Kidd stepped into the interview with his bags on his shoulders and headphones around his neck, telling his wife that they were leaving. "I'm not the number one contender for the World Heavyweight Championship. My back hurts. This night sucks. This town sucks. We have no reason to be here anymore, Nattie. Let's go," said Tyson, grabbing his wife's arm and trying to force her to leave. "I have a match, Tyson. I'm teaming with Paige," said Natalya. "Paige is, like, fourteen. She can take care of herself," said Tyson as he forced Natalya to leave the arena with him.
A graphic was shown for the upcoming match between Roman Reigns and the WWE Commissioner, Kane. The 'One Man Army' and The Committee's 'monster' collide, next on SmackDown!
|
| COMMERCIAL BREAK | #ReignsVsKane | A promo was shown for NXT Take Over, featuring an NXT Championship match between Adam Cole and Sami Zayn. Take Over is live on May 29th on WWE.com!
ROMAN REIGNS DEF. KANE: Tonight's first hour main event saw two of the WWE's behemoths collide as a result of Roman Reigns taking Kane down with a Spear this past Monday on RAW. This was Kane's first match as the WWE Commissioner, but the 'Big Red Monster' showed the same aggression. Halfway through the match, United States Champion Derrick Bateman was shown in the locker room area watching along with the WWE Tag Team Champions and fellow Committee members, Randy Orton and Batista. Reigns made sure that he sent a statement to Bateman, drilling Kane with a Spear to pick up the victory.
Roman Reigns stood to his feet at the sound of the bell as the WWE Universe erupted for his victory. The 'One Man Army' let out his signature howl after picking up even more momentum on his way to his Tables match with Derrick Bateman for the United States Championship at Extreme Rules. As Reigns was leaving the ring, he noticed on the titantron that Kane was beginning to stir to his feet. Reigns turned around and slid back into the ring, taking the Commissioner down with another Spear! Reigns posed on the turnbuckle as he motioned for the United States Championship that he will have the opportunity to seize in nine nights at Extreme Rules.
Cutting to the locker room, Derrick Bateman was shown watching the television monitor as his Extreme Rules opponent, Roman Reigns, continued to celebrate his victory over Kane. The WWE Tag Team Champions, Randy Orton and Batista, began to discuss strategy for tonight's Six Man Tag Team match against CM Punk, Wade Barrett and the WWE Champion, John Cena. "Hunter told us to make sure that they're ready for Extreme Rules, but I don't give a damn about that. I want to go out there and destroy them," said Batista. "And then that's where I cash-in on John Cena, right?" asked Bateman. "No. That's where we deliver as vicious of a beating as the WWE Universe has ever seen to the three of them," said Orton. "And THEN I cash-in," stated Bateman. ".....And then we celebrate our victory," said Batista. "So....where does my Money in the Bank cash-in fit in?" asked Bateman before Orton exploded at him. "Do you not get what we're saying, Derick?! As far as we're concerned, you having the opening to cash-in Money in the Bank is the least of our worries right now. We are going out there tonight to defeat Cena, Punk and Barrett. If you have the chance to cash-in, then fine. Do it, but Dave and I aren't going to do your dirty work and make sure that you have that opening," said Orton as Bateman simply stared at him before smiling. ".....Is that envy that I hear in your voice, Randy? Are you jealous of me because I am Triple H's new golden boy? Do you hate the fact that I can become WWE or World Heavyweight Champion at any moment?" asked Bateman, seemingly trying to get under the skin of 'The Viper.' "You know what!?" shouted Orton as he took a step towards Bateman, Batista having to come in between the two of them. "I am not going to stand here and babysit the two of you! Randy, keep your temper in check tonight! Derrick, understand that Randy, Hunter and I have all been friends for over a decade now. You haven't been in this picture for even a minute! Watch your ego and be a team player tonight! I don't give a damn about Money in the Bank!" shouted Batista as Orton and Bateman remained quiet, both trying to put their differences aside.

| COMMERCIAL BREAK | #HandicpMatch | PAIGE DEF. THE BELLA TWINS, TAMINA & ALICIA FOX IN A 4-ON-1 HANDICAP MATCH: After Tyson Kidd forced Natalya to leave the arena with him earlier in the evening, Paige was forced to go in alone in this 4-on-1 Handicap match. "You know this is part of Stephanie McMahon's plan to make sure that Paige is not ready for Extreme Rules, right?" said Michael Cole, which caused John Bradshaw Layfield to lash out at him. Kaitlyn and the Divas Champion, AJ Lee, watched from the skybox as AJ was able to rest while watching her opponent at Extreme Rules in nine nights be punished by four other Divas. Paige was able to pick up momentum later in the match, taking down Nikki Bella with a Superkick before attempting to apply the Scorpion Cross Lock. Alicia Fox ran into the ring, but Paige dodged a shot from her and kicked her in the mid-section. The 'Anti-Diva' grabbed Fox and threw her into Brie Bella and Tamina, knocking the two of them off of the ring apron. Nikki then rolled Paige up, but it was countered into one of Paige's own as she was able to get the victory.
The audience popped as Paige quickly stood to her feet following a surprising victory in this 4-on-1 Handicap match. The cameras quickly turned to the skybox, where AJ Lee and Kaitlyn were shown in disappointment at the outcome. As Paige glared at the three of them, Nikki Bella attacked her from behind. Brie Bella, Tamina and Alicia Fox all joined in on the attack before throwing Paige out to ringside. The four heel Divas stood tall in the ring, AJ applauding them. Paige did not stay down, however, as she looked underneath the ring apron and brought out a weapon that shocked the entire WWE Universe. "PAIGE HAS A BASEBALL BAT COVERED IN BARBED WIRE!" shouted Michael Cole. The audience roared as Paige slid into the ring, swinging the barbed wire bat and everyone in sight. Nikki, Brie, Tamina and Fox all hurried out of the ring before they could be struck, running up the entrance ramp. AJ and Kaitlyn watched with their eyes and mouths wide open, AJ clutching the Divas Championship to her chest. Paige pointed the bat at the Divas Champion, smiling at the same time. "Does Paige plan on using that at Extreme Rules?!?!" asked John Bradshaw Layfield on commentary.

| COMMERCIAL BREAK | #SheamusVsSandow | Returning to SmackDown on SyFy, a recap of the previous segment was shown as we saw Paige bring a barbed wire baseball bat out from underneath the ring, swinging it at everyone in the ring before pointing at the Divas Champion, AJ Lee, with it. "Exactly just how far is Paige willing to go in order to be the Last Diva Standing at Extreme Rules?" asked Michael Cole on commentary. "People call AJ Lee crazy?!? She's not the one swinging a deadly weapon around like a maniac!!" said John Bradshaw Layfield. Cole then read a tweet that was sent out by Stephanie McMahon during the commercial break. The tweet read, "Paige's actions won't be tolerated. This Monday on RAW, she will be disciplined. That barbed wire bat will never see the light of day again."
SHEAMUS DEF. DAMIEN SANDOW: After both Sheamus and Damien Sandow failed in the World Heavyweight Championship number one contenders tournament that was won earlier in the evening by Dolph Ziggler, the two were pitted against one another with the chance to bounce back. After rolling out of a You're Welcome attempt, Sheamus was able to catch Sandow with a Brogue Kick to get the victory.
The audience popped for Sheamus as the 'Celtic Warrior' stood to his feet following a successful outing against Damien Sandow here tonight. Sheamus' celebration was soon cut short by the Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins, who made his way out onto the stage. Rollins congratulated Sheamus on his victory, saying that it's been a while since he won anything. "Clearly you're frustrated by that fact. I mean, you did take a cheap shot at me on RAW when you Brogue Kicked me on this stage. Understand, Sheamus, that in a fair fight, you couldn't beat me," said Rollins as Sheamus took a microphone from ringside. "You want to put that theory to the test, fella? Why don't you face me at Extreme Rules and you put that Intercontinental Championship on the line," proposed Sheamus. "You want a shot my Intercontinental Championship? Fine, Sheamus. You're on. I will beat you all over that ring and all over the arena at Extreme Rules," said Rollins. "Beat me all over the arena, fella? How about it then? You and me at Extreme Rules, Falls Count Anywhere," said Sheamus to another huge pop. Rollins nodded his head and raised the Intercontinental Championship, accepting Sheamus' challenge for a Falls Count Anywhere match in nine nights at Extreme Rules.
A graphic was shown for the upcoming main event that will see WWE Champion John Cena, CM Punk and Wade Barrett take on the WWE Tag Team Champions Randy Orton and Batista, and United States Champion and Mr. Money in the Bank, Derrick Bateman.

WWE CHAMPION JOHN CENA, CM PUNK & WADE BARRETT DEF. UNITED STATES CHAMPION DERRICK BATEMAN & WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS RANDY ORTON & BATISTA VIA DISQUALIFICATION: A massive Six Man Tag Team match to close out things here on SmackDown. Both teams showed signs of tension as Cena, Punk and Barrett constantly tagged themselves in. On the opposing team, Bateman's main focus was weakening Cena rather than working with Orton and Batista to get the win. All hell broke loose towards the end as Punk delivered a Suicide Dive onto Orton, while Barrett and Batista brawled at ringside. In the ring, Bateman attempted to deliver the One Percenter to Cena, but the WWE Champion countered it and applied an STF! Bateman looked to be on the verge of submitting until Antonio Cesaro and Kassius Ohno hit the ring, attacking Cena and causing the disqualification finish.
Boos emerged from the WWE Universe as Antonio Cesaro and Kassius Ohno stomped away on John Cena, the WWE Champion unable to defend himself. The duo planted him with the KRS-ONE before Punk and Barrett slid into the ring. Orton and Batista, however, jumped into the fray soon as well, making it a four-on-two situation for Punk and Barrett. Bateman got to his feet at ringside, looking into the ring and noticing that Cena was laid out. He quickly grabbed the Money in the Bank briefcase, seeing the opening that he needed to cash-in. However, he could not do so because of the brawl in the ring. "Get out!" shouted Bateman as Orton, Batista, Cesaro and Ohno, all still delivering a beating to Punk and Barrett. The entrance music of The Usos soon hit as Jimmy and Jey ran down to the ring, evening the odds for Punk and Barrett. Bateman was irate as his chance to cash-in his Money in the Bank contract was fading away. The crowd's cheers soon became louder as Roman Reigns entered the scene through ringside, taking Bateman down with a Spear! Reigns slid into the ring as he saw the WWE Commissioner, Kane, running down to the ring. The 'One Man Army' immediately struck Kane with a Superman Punch before the faces were able to clear the ring of the heels. Cena got back to his feet as he, Punk, Barrett, Reigns and The Usos stood tall in the ring to close out SmackDown.
