- RAW is looking good, with AJ Styles signing his WWE contract, I wonder if this contract entails AJ Styles to have main event matches but also being either a future WWE Champion or future World Heavyweight Champion?
- CM Punk vs Mr. Money in the Bank Derrick Bateman Committee member, Uprising vs Committee in a steel cage I wonder if Barrett will be in attendance for this match? Or if Barrett will have a match of his own this Monday on RAW and if he does then I wonder just who he will end up facing?
- Angle you can bet he is on RAW for one reason and one reason only that being Brock Lesnar
- And why do I get the feeling the vow renewal will end up somehow in Natalya being humiliated publicly by Tyson Kidd? Just the feeling I'm getting

#AngleReturns
| June 24th, 2013 from Charleston, South Carolina - Following the signature WWE intro, a video package was shown to recap the events from the conclusion of last Thursday's live edition of SmackDown. In a 3-on-1 Handicap match, World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan was defeated by Antonio Cesaro, Kassius Ohno and the 2013 King of the Ring winner, Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins. The trio would continue their assault on Bryan following the match, allowing the 'Beast Incarnate' Brock Lesnar to make a shocking return. Before Lesnar could annihilate Bryan, another surprise return occurred as Kurt Angle made the save, taking out Cesaro and Ohno as Lesnar and Rollins were able to escape. Despite declaring retirement after WrestleMania XXIX, Angle is back and he has eyes set on gaining retribution against Brock Lesnar.
"Welcome everyone to Monday Night RAW!" said Michael Cole as we cut to the arena in Charleston, South Carolina. The entrance music of Kurt Angle hit to a wild ovation from the WWE Universe for the first appearance on RAW of the Olympic Gold Medalist in quite some time. Introducing him was Eden, who was filling in for Justin Roberts as the ring announcer this evening. Angle stepped into the ring, taking a microphone and saying that ever since his return last Thursday, he's been asked one question by friends, family and fans. "Are you retired? It's funny, actually, because I had to ask myself that same question. I made a vow that if I didn't become World Heavyweight Champion at WrestleMania, I would leave this business for the rest of my life. And I was prepared to keep my word. A few days after WrestleMania, I stood in this ring and gave what I believed was my farewell speech to the WWE Universe, but for whatever reason, Brock Lesnar decided to inset himself into the picture and take me out. Brock wanted to make sure that I stayed away from professional wrestling for good........ and he'll get that eventually, but not until I have him in this ring! Until Brock Lesnar is standing face-to-face with Kurt Angle, I'm not going anywhere!" Angle shouted as the audience roared with excitement. Soon, the voice of Paul Heyman could be heard as the cheers immediately turned to boos. "Bravo, Kurt. Bravo," Heyman said as he marched down to the ring along with two of his clients, Antonio Cesaro and Kassius Ohno. "I didn't believe it, but you proved to me that by returning to the WWE, you are the dumbest man in this industry. Brock Lesnar did not just decimate you once two months ago, No, no, no. My client, Brock Lesnar, made a career out of pulverizing you! Brock Lesnar did so in the main event of WrestleMania XIX, almost ending your career a decade ago! The last time you competed with Brock, he outlasted you in a 1-hour Iron Man match and proved without a shadow of a doubt that he is the most gifted and dominant athlete to ever step foot into the squared circle! You want answers from Brock Lesnar?! Brock does not have to explain anything to you because actions speak louder than words and the beating that he delivered to you five nights after WrestleMania should have been a loud enough statement for you to stay away, Kurt! Had you retired after WrestleMania, you would have been able to leave by choice, but now, you're going to be forced into retirement because you can't understand that when you are in the sights of the 'Beast Incarnate,' bad things happen, Kurt," Heyman said to the face of the Olympic Gold Medalist, who was once his own client. "Paul, I'd probably take your words a bit more seriously if you had Brock Lesnar at your side instead of your two flavors of the month who you'll eventually throw to the side like you do every other client of yours," said Angle, glaring at Ohno and Cesaro. "Very well then, Kurt. Your mind is made up and you clearly went with the dire option. You want Brock Lesnar, but the reality is that you won't even make it through tonight as an active, non-retired competitor," said Heyman as he stepped to the side of the ring, Ohno and Cesaro walking towards Angle. Knowing that he would have to defend himself, Angle struck Cesaro before doing the same to Ohno! For a few seconds, Angle was able to hold his own, but the numbers caught up to him as Cesaro and Ohno took him to the mat, stomping away on him. The assault continued until the World Heavyweight Champion, Daniel Bryan, ran down to make the save! The WWE Universe came alive as Bryan went after Ohno and Cesaro, giving Angle the opening to get up to his feet and join the World Champion. Bryan and Angle took Ohno and Cesaro out of the ring, the crowd fired up and shouting "Yes!" at the top of their lungs!
|
| COMMERCIAL BREAK | #TagTeamMatch | WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION DANIEL BRYAN & KURT ANGLE DEF. ANTONIO CESARO & KASSIUS OHNO W/ PAUL HEYMAN: During the commercial break, World Heavyweight Champion, Daniel Bryan, and Kurt Angle issued a challenge to Antonio Cesaro and Kassius Ohno for a Tag Team match. The challenge was accepted, setting up the opening contest to what is sure to be a huge edition of Monday Night RAW. Paul Heyman watched from ringside, hoping that his two clients would be able to take Angle out once and for all and render his vow for revenge against Brock Lesnar useless. That was not the case however, as Angle was able to place Cesaro in the Ankle Lock! When Ohno attempted to break up the hold, Bryan charged into the ring and caught him with the Busaiku Knee! Angle brought Cesaro back into the center of the ring, leaving the 'King of Swing' with no alternative but to submit!
The WWE Universe came unglued as Kurt Angle released the Ankle Lock on Antonio Cesaro, gaining his first victory since returning. Daniel Bryan was handed back his World Heavyweight Championship as he and Angle celebrated their victory to a chorus of "Yes! chants from the sold out audience. The duo stood tall in the ring, only to be interrupted by the Intercontinental Champion and Bryan's SummerSlam opponent, Seth Rollins. The 2013 King of the Ring slid into the ring through the crowd, delivering a Superkick to the back of Angle's head! Rollins dodged out of the ring before Bryan could retaliate, Angle laying motionless on the canvas. Bryan and an official tended to Angle as Rollins exited back through the crowd, laughing while raising the Intercontinental Championship.
Backstage, Natalya was shown in the Divas locker room, preparing for her vow renewal ceremony tonight with her husband, Tyson Kidd. Naomi and Alicia Fox walked into the room, the two commenting on how beautiful Natalya looked. However, they were also cautious about what could happen tonight. "I'm sorry, Nattie, but how do you know that this isn't just a scheme on Tyson's part? I mean, one minute, he's embarrassing you on live TV, and the next, he's asking you to re-marry him," Naomi stated as Alicia agreed. "You know, you two aren't the only people to tell me that, but really, nobody knows Tyson better than I do. I've been with him for as long as I can remember and I can tell that he is being genuine. Tonight is going to be one of the greatest nights of my life and I won't let anybody ruin that," Natalya said, turning away from Naomi and Alicia.

| COMMERCIAL BREAK | #DelRiovsMcIntyre | Returning to Monday Night RAW, cameras were shown in the home of AJ Styles, who will be signing his WWE contract later on tonight. "Triple H and AJ Styles are expected to arrive at the home soon, and we're hoping to get a few comments from Styles about why he's not only chosen to join World Wrestling Entertainment, but The Committee as well," Michael Cole stated.
ALBERTO DEL RIO DEF. DREW MCINTYRE W/ HEATH SLATER & JINDER MAHAL: A surprisingly competitive match here as Drew McIntyre found himself on the offensive end of the action several times. Despite McIntyre's sudden surge of momentum, Alberto Del Rio was able to swing things back in his favor after countering out of a Future Shock DDT attempt, hitting McIntyre with a Backstabber. Del Rio would then call for the Cross Armbreaker, locking it in as he forced McIntyre to tap out.
As the bell sounded to signal the conclusion of the match, Alberto Del Rio refused to release the Cross Armbreaker that he had cinched in on Drew McIntyre. "Can you blame Alberto? This new-found rage in him was brought on by Rusev's actions against the Mexican flag," John Bradshaw Layfield said as Heath Slater and Jinder Mahal decided to get involved and try to save their "band member." Mahal brought Del Rio to his feet as the 'Mexican Aristocrat' retaliated, taking the fight to both him and Slater. Just when it looked like Del Rio was going to get the better of all 3MB members, Rusev ran down to the ring, unbeknownst to Del Rio. Del Rio turned around, only to be drilled with a kick right to the side of his head! Del Rio fell to the canvas as Rusev glared over at 3MB, the three of them knowing better and getting out of the ring. Lana would also join Rusev in the ring, holding a folded up Russian flag in her hands. Rusev got a hold of Del Rio's motionless carcass, placing him in the Accolade. Rusev kept the vicious hold in until Lana gave him the command to stop. Once she did so, she unfolded the Russian flag and draped it over Del Rio. She raised Rusev's hand as the two stood tall, burying Del Rio under their nation's flag.
Backstage, Committee member, Kane, was shown walking down a corridor with the United States Championship in his possession. "What is Kane doing with the United States Title?" Jerry Lawler asked, which was the question on everyone's mind. The 'Big Red Monster' joins us, next live on RAW!

| COMMERCIAL BREAK | #USTitle | A promo was shown for this Wednesday's edition of NXT, featuring the main event of Evan Bourne taking on Kevin Owens. Whose NXT debut will result in a victory? WWE NXT, this Wednesday night on ION Television.
Returning to the arena in Charleston, pyro blasted from the stage as the 'Big Red Monster' and Commissioner of WWE, Kane, made his way down to the ring with the United States Championship. "Roman Reigns is the current United States Champion, but we have not seen or heard from him since last week. Why does Kane have the title with him?" asked Jerry Lawler as Kane stepped into the ring, prepared to give the WWE Universe some answers. "Before I proceed with my announcement, I would just like to point out to everyone that despite Triple H revoking my powers as WWE Commissioner, am I still in a position of authority. Which is why I am out here to discuss the fate of the United States Championship. Every champion here in WWE is required to defend their titles at least once within a period of thirty days. Roman Reigns became the United States Champion on May....." said Kane, stopping himself before uttering the date of May 19th, which was when Extreme Rules was held. ".... Roman won the title over thirty days ago and has not had one defense. Not only have we not been able to contact him since last week, but he left the arena without the United States Title. With all factors considered, it is my duty to announce that The Committee and Board of Directors have come to the decision that Roman Reigns is hereby stripped of the United States Championship," Kane said, causing most in the WWE Universe to cheer. "That being said, the title will remain in abeyance until Payback in three weeks. There will be an over-the-top-rope Battle Royal. The winner will be declared the new United States Champion."
As Kane was preparing to leave the ring, he was interrupted by the entrance music of The Miz. The 'Awesome One' made his way down to the ring along with the Awesome Entourage consisting of Damien Sandow, Jake Carter and Big E Langston. Miz started off by praising Commissioner Kane for his decision. "For six months in 2012, I carried Roman Reigns as a member of the Maddox Administration and could have told you myself that he's incredibly irresponsible. The Committee and WWE Universe deserve a United States Champion who embodies what being a WWE superstar is all about. You all need someone with class. Someone with dignity. Someone who is..... awesome. Which is why I am declaring right now that the entire Awesome Entourage will be in the Battle Royal ay Payback," said Miz, officially entering himself, Sandow, Carter and Big E into the Battle Royal. "And there is nobody in that locker room who is going to stop one of us four from becoming the new United Sta-" said Miz before he cut off by the thunderous sound of pyro. "BREAK THE WALLS DOWN!" blared over the PA system as the audience nearly blew the roof off of the arena. "You've got to be kidding!" shouted Michael Cole as the lights went out. Numerous smaller lights could be seen on the stage, the fans knowing that it was the signature jacket of Chris Jericho! "Y2J is back!" Jerry Lawler said as Jericho was shown on the stage, looking out into the sea of WWE fans going wild for him. After being absent for nearly three months, Jericho has returned to WWE! He stepped into the ring, Kane and the Awesome Entourage all in shock. ".... Welcome to RAW! IS! JERICHO!" he said to a thunderous response. "Really, Chris? Really? This was meant to be our moment! The moment where the Awesome Entourage staked our claim to the United States Championship, but of course, you being the egotistical maniac that you are, you just had to choose this moment to make your comeback. How typical of you," said Miz to a plethora of boos. "The irony of The Miz calling someone 'egotistical,'" said Jericho, only angering Miz and the Awesome Entourage. "I was standing in the back and couldn't help but overhear Kane's announcement. That got me thinking, 'What is the one championship in WWE that has eluded me in my career?' The answer to that is the United States Championship. If 'Y2J' is stepping back into this ring, he wants to accomplish something he never has before. That is why I am throwing my name into the mix of things for the Battle Royal ay Payback, baby!" Jericho said to another pop. "Jericho, it looks like the United States Title will continue to act as the missing piece to your list of accolades because at Payback, the gold is coming home with the Awesome Entourage. There's four of us and one you. Do the math and you'll be able to see my point. You have no chance at Payback," Miz stated. "Four of you and one of me, right? Well, how about the four of you decide which one wants to step into the ring against 'Y2J' because I'm ready to compete!" Jericho backed against the ropes as Miz and the Awesome Entourage talked it out for a bit, soon deciding that it would be Big E Langston who attempts to silence the returning Chris Jericho.
|
| COMMERCIAL BREAK | #JerichovsBigE | CHRIS JERICHO DEF. BIG E LANGSTON W/ THE MIZ, DAMIEN SANDOW & JAKE CARTER: Moments ago, Commissioner Kane announced that Roman Reigns' inability to defend the United States Championship has resulted in the title being vacated, leading to a Battle Royal at Payback to crown a new champion. After The Miz and the Awesome Entourage declared that they would be participating in the Battle Royal, Chris Jericho made a surprise return to stake his claim at the one championship that he has never held in WWE. Big E Langston, the bodyguard for the Awesome Entourage, was chosen by his stablemates to compete against the returning Jericho. After sliding off of Big E's shoulder during a Big Ending attempt, Jericho turned him around and delivered a Codebreaker, covering him for the victory.
Chris Jericho rose to his feet as the WWE Universe roared with excitement over his victory in his first match back. Jericho stood on the second turnbuckle, motioning for the United States Championship while Damien Sandow and Jake Carter assisted Big E Langston up the entrance ramp. "You're not beating us," Miz said as he looked back at Jericho. The United States Title picture is heating up now with the return of 'Y2J' to WWE!
Cutting to the locker room area, Mr. Money in the Bank, Derrick Bateman, was shown preparing for his Steel Cage match later tonight against CM Punk, J&J Security also present in the room. "Don't worry about what these people got to say, Derrick. Before you know it, they'll be showing you the love you deserve!" said Jamie Noble. "I don't care about being loved. I'm just out to win tonight," said Bateman, who appeared to be more serious than usual. Suddenly, Randy Orton and Batista walked into the room, the former telling Noble and Mercury to leave the room. "But we're Derrick Bateman's security force. You guys can't tell us wh-" said Mercury before Batista cut him off. "Get your asses out of here now before we throw you out ourselves!" Batista shouted as Noble and Mercury quietly left. ".....What a bright idea Triple H had, right? Putting you in the match at King of the Ring, and if not for YOU, Dave and I wouldn't have a rematch to clause to invoke tonight because we would have never lost the WWE Tag Team Titles!" Orton said. "Actually, Randy, we didn't lose anything. Bateman was the one who failed at King of the Ring. HE lost the titles for us," stated Batista. "Yeah, yeah, yeah. We all get it. Whenever something goes wrong, it's always my fault. Who lost the WWE Tag Team Titles? Derrick Bateman. Who's responsible for all diseases? Derrick Bateman. Why is the economy in the state that it is? Derrick Bateman. Did Aaron Hernandez really have something to do with a murder? I don't know, but Derrick Bateman sure as hell did!" Bateman said, irritated with Orton and Batista's words. He continued on, saying that if the two of them lose tonight against The Real Americans, they can't possibly place the blame on him this time. "I lost the Tag Team Titles for you guys at King of the Ring? Let's not try to twist the story around here. You both want to say that I couldn't get the job done, but neither could the two of you. Tonight, I'm gonna do what you guys couldn't at King of the Ring and that's beat CM Punk," said Bateman before leaving the room, not wanting to be around either Orton and Batista.
A graphic was shown for the upcoming match up between the number one contender for the WWE Championship, Cody Rhodes, and Wyatt Family member, Luke Harper. It's up next, live on Monday Night RAW!

| COMMERCIAL BREAK | #RhodesvsHarper | Returning from the commercial break, we revisited the cameras in the home of AJ Styles where the man himself could be seen talking to the WWE COO, Triple H, though their conversation was not audible. Later on tonight, Hunter will present Styles with his official World Wrestling Entertainment contract.
Cutting to the backstage, Uprising members CM Punk, Wade Barrett and Paige were shown watching a TV monitor, all three not welcoming the addition of AJ Styles to the WWE roster. "The time for AJ Styles' beating will come. Focus on Derrick Bateman tonight because I'm certain that The Committee will have Paige and myself thrown out of here before then," Wade Barrett said. Suddenly, the trio were approached by Committee member, Kane. "Likely a true statement for you, Wade, seeing as how you aren't competing tonight. Punk, The Committee has all of the faith in the world that Derrick Bateman will destroy you tonight in the Steel Cage. As for you, Paige, you'll be disappointed to know that neither Stephanie McMahon nor Kaitlyn are here tonight, but you'll still have your hands full against The Bella Twins," Kane said as the 'Anti-Diva' stated that she's take care of those 'barbies' before. "Well, there's one thing I forgot to mention. It's going to be a Tag Team match and your partner..... is AJ Lee." Kane left the scene as Paige was left irate over the fact that she will need to team up with the Divas Champion who she nearly took out of this industry back at Extreme Rules.
CODY RHODES DEF. LUKE HARPER W/ WWE CHAMPION BRAY WYATT & ERICK ROWAN VIA DISQUALIFICATION: Last Thursday on a live edition of SmackDown, Cody Rhodes overcame Sheamus and Ryback in a Triple Threat match to become the number one contender for the WWE Championship. With a date with Bray Wyatt awaiting him in three weeks at Payback, Rhodes found himself competing against another Wyatt Family member in Luke Harper. Just when it looked like the 'Prince of Pro Wrestling' was about to get the win after catching Harper with a Disaster Kick, Erick Rowan slid into the ring and attacked Rhodes, causing the disqualification finish.
The audience booed heavily as Erick Rowan stomped away on Cody Rhodes, Luke Harper soon joining him while the WWE Champion, Bray Wyatt, sat in his rocking chair and watched on. Rhodes, however, was able to fend off Harper and Rowan for a bit, holding his own in the battle until Wyatt entered the fray, taking him down with a running Crossbody. Wyatt backed away as Harper and Rowan threw Rhodes to the outside, the 'Eater of Worlds' then resuming his attack. Wyatt picked Rhodes' carcass up off of the ground, only to deliver Sister Abigail! Wyatt glared at both Rowan and Harper, giving them the nod of approval to go through with something. The two Wyatt Family members would then head over to the time keeper's area and grab the ring announcer, Eden, by her arms. "That's Cody's wife!" Michael Cole said. Rowan and Harper forced Eden to watch as Wyatt took apart the steel steps, grabbing Rhodes one more time. "No, please! Don't do this, Bray!" said Jerry Lawler as Wyatt lifted Rhodes into position for the Tombstone Piledriver, dropping the top of his head onto the steps! Eden cried as Rhodes' body was motionless on the steps, Wyatt sitting on his knees as he looked down at his opponent for Payback. The Wyatt Family finally let Eden go as she ran towards Rhodes, screaming for the medical team to help him. Wyatt picked the WWE Championship up from inside the ring, leaving up the entrance ramp along with Harper and Rowan.
|
| COMMERCIAL BREAK | #TagTeamMatch | Returning to Monday Night RAW, a recap of the previous segment was shown as the WWE Champion, Bray Wyatt, delivered a Tombstone to Cody Rhodes onto the steel steps, all while Erick Rowan and Luke Harper forced Rhodes' wife, Eden, to watch. Footage from during the commercial break was then shown as Rhodes was placed onto a stretcher to be taken to a nearby medical facility. "This is a very serious situation. What's supposed to be a WWE Championship match at Payback has the chance to turn into something ugly. Wyatt isn't just after Rhodes. He's trying to get into the head of his family," said John Bradshaw Layfield, showing concern for the former God's Gifts member.
DIVAS CHAMPION AJ LEE & PAIGE DEF. THE BELLA TWINS: Just a little over a month after tearing each other apart in the unforgettable Last Diva Standing match at Extreme Rules, Paige and the Divas Champion, AJ Lee, were forced by The Committee to team up against The Bella Twins. Paige remained in the ring for the entire duration of the bout, not wanting to have anything to do with AJ as a partner. Brie Bella was looking to connect with a Missile Dropkick, but Paige caught her legs and attempted to apply the PTO. This was interrupted by Nikki Bella, who ran into the ring and missed a Clothesline. When Nikki turned around, Paige delivered a Superkick before turning her attention back to Brie. The PTO was finally locked in, Brie quickly submitting.
Paige released the PTO that she had on Brie Bella as the bell was sounded, she and AJ Lee being declared the winners. While the announcement was being made, Paige grabbed AJ by her hair and pulled her into the ring! The 'Anti-Diva' fired away with strikes onto the Divas Champion, the official trying to pull them apart. When the referee was able to successfully restrain Paige, AJ slid out of the ring and grabbed the Divas Championship, quickly leaving through the audience. Paige freed herself after elbowing the official in the side of the head, going out to ringside to grab a microphone. "AJ! Kaitlyn! Stephanie! If I can't get my hands on any you three right now, then I'll settle for this," Paige said as she grabbed Nikki Bella, leveling her in the head with the microphone! The 'Anti-Diva' would then look underneath the ring, bringing out a small black bag! "Not again...." John Bradshaw Layfield said as Paige entered the ring, pouring thumbtacks out onto the canvas. Paige grabbed Brie Bella with the intentions of slamming her onto the tacks, but that was not to be as security hit the scene, grabbing Paige and escorting her out of the ring. "We're about to have ourselves a wedding here on Raw and Paige is trying to create a crime scene! She has no business being in a wrestling ring! That woman belongs in an insane asylum!" Bradshaw stated as Paige was carried to the backstage area, trying vigorously to free herself.
A graphic was shown that featured an invitation to the vow renewal ceremony of Tyson Kidd and Natalya. The couple will be re-married, next live on Monday Night RAW!

| COMMERCIAL BREAK | #TheWedding | A promo was shown for the WWE Network, launching on July 15th, immediately following Monday Night RAW! Get every live Pay-Per-View, NXT specials, archived shows from WWE, WCW and ECW, and original programming for only $9.99 per month!
Returning to the live broadcast, the ring was shown set up and ready for the vow renewal ceremony between Tyson Kidd and Natalya. "Before we begin the ceremony, I would like to quickly inform our viewers at home of some news that I received during the commercial break. Due to the chaotic events just moments ago, Paige has been ejected from the building," Michael Cole said as John Bradshaw Layfield responded with, "Good!"
Beginning the vow renewal ceremony was the sound of Tyson Kidd's entrance music, which was met with nothing but boos from the WWE Universe. Kidd simply ignored the hostile response, smiling all the way to the ring. Kidd waited as "Here Comes the Bride" hit, Natalya walking out with her father, Jim 'The Anvil' Neidhart, escorting her. "I'm not trying to be cynical, but has there ever been a WWE wedding that went without a hitch?" John Bradshaw Layfield asked on commentary. Natalya stepped into the ring, she and Kidd smiling widely at each other as the priest began the ceremony. He quickly spoke about the love that is shared between Kidd and Natalya, which only garnered more boos from the audience as they didn't believe that this was a genuine act on the part of Kidd. After Kidd placed a ring on Natalya's finger at the request of the priest, he proceeded with his new vows. "Nattie, I know that as of late, I've put my career ahead of our family. I've been nothing but a nuisance for you and the entire WWE Universe and for that, I not only apologize, but promise to make things right. This is just the start. No more selfishness or arrogance on my part. If my wrestling career were to come to an end tomorrow, everything would be alright because I would still have you. Never again will I treat you with disrespect or carelessness, and that, my love..... is a FACT!" said Kidd, the crowd still booing him. "Tyson, the fact that....excuse me. The FACT," said Natalya, uttering her husband's catchphrase in his exact manner. "...that you would go to these lengths to prove to me that you're willing to put our marriage first in life means the world to me. A lot of people are doubting you, but I know you better than anyone else. No matter what happens in your career, I will be there with you every step of the way. Marrying you has been the biggest accomplishment in my life and I couldn't be happier to be doing it all over again." Once the two were done speaking, the priest stated that if there was anyone who believed that Kidd and Natalya should not be wed, now was their time to speak up. While nobody officially came forward, the entire WWE Universe chanted "No!" in unison. Finally, the priest asked Natalya if she takes Tyson Kidd as her husband. "I do," said Natalya with no ounce of hesitation. The same question was asked to Kidd. At that moment, everyone watching could tell that things were about to go very wrong as Kidd began to laugh to himself. "You know, father, I would say 'I do,' but that wouldn't be a fact!" Kidd said. Natalya's jaw dropped, as did Jim Neidhart's. Kidd took the microphone off of the stand, ripping his bowtie off. "Forgive me for laughing, everyone. I just didn't think that I would actually get this far, but Nattie, you proved to me that there is no dumber woman in the world than you!" shouted Kidd, the boos becoming even louder. "I was certain that somewhere along the way, you would figure out this whole thing for yourself, but you've given me the chance to embarrass you just as badly as you've embarrassed me. Throughout my entire WWE career, you've been by my side. I don't think it's a coincidence that my career can be summed up as 'mediocre.' 2013 was meant to be the year that I finally break out and become a star, but we're halfway through the year and I haven't done a damn thing! And it's all because of you! I hate you! I hate your stupid family and that is a FACT! FACT! FACT! FACT!" shouted Tyson to Natalya, making her cry as Jim Neidhart tried to take Kidd's microphone away from him. Kidd would respond by striking Neidhart! 'The Anvil' fell onto the canvas as Natalya tended to him before attempting to slap Kidd. That was not to be, however, as Kidd grabbed Natalya's arm and pushed her into a corner. "Every major accomplishment could have been mine and I know it! Without you, I would have won the Royal Rumble and become World Heavyweight Champion, not Daniel Bryan! I would have won Money in the Bank, not Derrick Bateman! That tournament that I was in the finals of?!?! I would have won instead of Dolph Ziggler! I would have sat on the King of the Ring throne instead of Seth Rollins! I could be WWE Champion, but I'm not and it's all thanks to you! You have done nothing but hold me back, Nattie! But instead of dropping the dead weight, I decided to humiliate you and you fell for it every! Step! Of the way! I'm not done yet, though. You probably want to divorce me, right? RIGHT!?!?" yelled Kidd in his wife, or ex-wife's face. "I'm way ahead of you. Soon, you're going to be receiving two documents from my lawyers. One envelope contains divorce papers....... and the other is for a match at Payback!" The commentators and WWE Universe were shocked at the fact that Kidd was actually proposing a one-on-one match against Natalya. "And unless you sign both, don't even bother with me ever again." Kidd finally let go of Natalya's arm as he exited the ring to nuclear levels of heat from the audience. With tears in her eyes from crying and screaming, Natalya checked on her father after being humiliated in front of the entire world. "Tyson Kidd seriously just asked his wife for a match at Payback," Jerry Lawler said after the vow renewal ceremony from hell.

| COMMERCIAL BREAK
| #TagTeamTitles | After the commercial break, a recap of Tyson Kidd and Natalya's wedding gone array was shown, concluding with Kidd informing Natalya that she will be receiving two documents soon from his lawyers - divorce papers and a contract for a match at Payback. "After everything those two have gone through together, this is how Tyson Kidd wants to end it all? A match against the woman he once called his wife?" asked Jerry Lawler. Are we actually going to see Tyson Kidd vs. Natalya happen in three weeks on Pay-Per-View?
Backstage, Renee Young was shown in the interview area, saying that she originally was set to get a word from Tyson Kidd and Natalya, but it doesn't appear that will be happening after what we just saw transpire. "We'll try to keep everyone updated on the ongoing situation between the two and whether or not Natalya will accept Tyson's challenge for a match...." said Renee as she was interrupted by The Awesome Entourage. "Who cares about Tyson Kidd and Natalya? Divorces happen every day. What doesn't, though, is the United States Championship being vacated. Like we said earlier, one of us four will capture the title in the Battle Royal at Payback. It doesn't matter what Chris Jericho or anybody else has to say about that," Miz stated before removing his sunglasses. "And what are you doing here?" asked Miz while Damien Sandow mimicked him. Adrian Neville would then step into the picture, saying that Miz, Sandow, Carter and Big E shouldn't be focused on just Chris Jericho because at Payback, the ring will be filled with WWE superstars who are after the same thing, the United States Title. "Just thought I'd let you know and your Entourage know that I'm officially in the Battle Royal as well and I plan on taking the US Title home with me," said Neville before leaving.
WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH - THE REAL AMERICANS W/ ZEB COLTER DEF. RANDY ORTON & BATISTA: Throughout the course of last week, the WWE Tag Team Championships changed hands not once, but twice. At King of the Ring, CM Punk and Wade Barrett of The Uprising defeated Randy Orton, Batista and Derrick Bateman of The Committee to capture the titles. Last Thursday on SmackDown, it was interference from Bateman that allowed The Real Americans to become the new champions. Orton and Batista would choose to invoke their rematch clause here tonight, but not against the team that defeated them, making for a very interesting scenario. As Orton had Jack Swagger in a single legged Boston Crab, Swagger managed to reach the ropes as the 'Viper' refused to release the hold. With the official having his hands full with the action, Wade Barrett ran down to ringside, pulling Batista off of the ring apron and catching him with a Clothesline! Barrett quickly exited through the audience, Orton noticing this in the corner of his eye as he released the submission hold and hurried towards the rope. "Stay out of our business!" Orton shouted before he was rolled up by Swagger, The Real Americans getting the win!
The WWE Universe actually responded positively for The Real Americans' victory as Jack Swagger slowly stirred to his feet, Shelton Benjamin joining him while the official handed them back the WWE Tag Team Championships. Wade Barrett remained in the stands as Randy Orton and Batista had their eyes locked on him. "It was Derrick Bateman's involvement that cost Barrett and Punk the titles on SmackDown. Tonight, The Uprising return the favor!" said Michael Cole. Swagger, Benjamin and Zeb Colter headed up the entrance ramp, shouting, "We the people!" after their first successful defense of the WWE Tag Team Championships!
A graphic was shown for tonight's main event. CM Punk and Mr. Money in the Bank, Derrick Bateman, collide inside a Steel Cage! The Uprising vs. The Committee, tonight live on RAW!
|
| COMMERCIAL BREAK | #RollinsvsRVD | Returning to Monday Night RAW, catastrophe was occurring backstage as a multitude of officials kept Wade Barrett, Randy Orton and Batista separated after what transpired during the WWE Tag Team Championship match. Commissioner Kane soon had to step in, shouting at the three of them. "If I didn't have the Board of Directors breathing down my neck right now, these officials wouldn't be here and you would get the beating that you deserve, Wade! You had no business getting yourself involved in their match!" Kane yelled, Barrett responding that he was just doing what Derrick Bateman did to him and CM Punk on SmackDown. "I guess that doesn't matter to you, though, since Bateman is The Committee's pet project. And I guess now is the part where you throw me out of this building like you did to Paige earlier, right?!" yelled Barrett, Kane telling him that he's exactly right. The officials escorted Barrett out of the arena, Orton and Batista cooling down after a very heated altercation. "......And we're all being thrown out, too," Kane said to Orton and Batista, the former asking if he was joking. "The Board of Directors have the final say until their investigation is over. Since we threw Paige and Wade Barrett out, the Board members want the three of us out as well to make sure that we don't get involved in the Steel Cage match tonight," Kane stated with regret. "And what happens if we don't listen?" Batista asked, clearly wanting to defy the orders of the Board. "Anything we do to revolt is just going to hurt Triple H and Stephanie McMahon's case. If we stay, we're putting their jobs at further risk." Kane, Orton and Batista all were irate with the idea of being kicked out of the building, but understood that it would be "best for business" if they obliged with the request of the Board of Directors.
INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION SETH ROLLINS DEF. ROB VAN DAM IN A NON-TITLE MATCH: With Seth Rollins set to challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam on August 18th, the Intercontinental Champion was looking to pick up some more momentum against Rob Van Dam here tonight. During the match, cameras briefly showed the World Heavyweight Champion, Daniel Bryan, and Kurt Angle watching from the locker room area, the latter applying a bag of ice to the back of his head as he was still feeling the effects of Rollins' Superkick earlier in the evening. Rollins was able to pick up the win after connecting with a vicious-looking Curb Stomp onto Van Dam.
Seth Rollins rose to his feet as he was handed back the Intercontinental Championship, holding it high in the air as the audience showered him with boos. "Seth Rollins may very well be the best athlete in sports entertainment today. It's hard to bet against his chances of becoming a double champion at SummerSlam," John Bradshaw Layfield stated on commentary. Rollins headed up the entrance ramp, Bryan and Angle both still watching from the locker room area with revenge against the Intercontinental Champion on their mind.
Backstage, Mr. Money in the Bank, Derrick Bateman, was shown walking down a corridor along with his security force, J&J Security. There are no Committee or Uprising members present in the building. It's going to be Bateman meeting CM Punk one-on-one in a Steel Cage match, tonight on RAW!
|
| COMMERCIAL BREAK | #Pipebomb | Returning to Monday Night RAW, Michael Cole reminded the viewers at home of Kane's announcement earlier on behalf of The Committee. Because of Roman Reigns' inability to meet his obligations as a WWE superstar, the United States Championship is now in abeyance. A new champion will be determined at Payback in an Over the Top Rope Battle Royal. Confirmed thus far for the match are The Miz, Damien Sandow, Big E Langston, Jake Carter, Adrian Neville and the man who made a shocking return to World Wrestling Entertainment, Chris Jericho. "Who else will throw their name into the mix of things for the vacant United States Title?" was the question raised by Cole.
The entrance music of Derrick Bateman hit to a massive amount of boos as Mr. Money in the Bank made his way down to the ring along with his security force, Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury. "The biggest match of Derrick Bateman's single career. He's got CM Punk one-on-one inside of a Steel Cage with no Committee members to bail him out," Jerry Lawler stated as Bateman stepped into the Cage, Mercury handing him a microphone, taking his time to speak. "No, please. Go ahead. Keep booing me. That's all you people have ever done when I'm out here anyways," Bateman said, clearly infuriated with the crowd response. Mocking his upcoming opponent, CM Punk, Bateman sat cross-legged in the center of the ring, placing the Money in the Bank briefcase next to him. "I'll need to watch what I say because if I give my true, one hundred percent genuine feelings, my microphone will be cut off and I'll get pulled to the side by Triple H or Stephanie McMahon. Since 2002, I have busted my ass to fulfill my dream of being a professional wrestle. Yeah, that's right. I've been doing this for 11 years now. Contrary to popular belief, I wasn't just handed a contract with WWE. I wasn't some bodybuilder who Vince McMahon found on the streets and threw onto the season of NXT that nobody watched. I was just like all of you, a wrestling fan. I still am, but the difference between myself and the WWE Universe is that I did something about my passion. I worked to get the money to go to wrestling school. I put my desire to get into wrestling above everything else. My education. My friends. My family. This industry became my number one priority because I love it. A history of knee issues could have derailed my career, but I refused to allow my battle scars to stop me from getting to where I wanted to. I faced the same hardships that your darlings like CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, Dean Ambrose, Sami Zayn all did! The stories that they all tell about driving hours to a show and getting nothing but a handshake and a hotdog in return, I lived that! But just because my name wasn't plastered on every wrestling forum on the internet, I never got the recognition that I deserve! Every time I step into this ring and put my body on the line, I'm subjected to chants like, 'You can't wrestle!' and "Bateman sucks!' Worst of all, you people say that I didn't earn my spot. I don't care if you like me or not because that's a matter of opinion, but to say that I was handed success is a ***damn lie! I worked just as hard as anyone else! Hell, I'd say that I've worked twice as hard! Three times, even! And I have to continue working that hard just to prove my point! I'm about to do what pro wrestlers all over the world dream of one day accomplishing! Main eventing Monday Night RAW in a one-on-one match! I got here because I earned it and if you're just sitting at a computer right now, bitching and moaning because I'm here and not your idols, you have no business saying that I didn't work for any of this! You don't know the first thing about this business and having inside information doesn't change that! Look at this...." said Bateman as he stood up and grabbed the Money in the Bank briefcase. "This briefcase represents my 11 year struggle to get to where I am today. Every hardship, every obstacle, it doesn't matter anymore because I overcame all adversity and am now in a position to become WWE or World Heavyweight Champion. And guess what? I'm gonna do it. Whether it's next week, next month or WrestleMania XXX, the reign of Derrick Bateman as a World Champion is coming, and dammit, I earned it!" Bateman threw the microphone down as he continued to stare at the camera, holding up the briefcase while shouting, "I belong here!" Bateman has the chance to prove that he's indeed earned his spot as he meets CM Punk in a Steel Cage match, next!

| COMMERCIAL BREAK | #SteelCage | A promo was shown for Payback, live Sunday July 14th, only on Pay-Per-View.
Prior to the start of our main event, a graphic was shown to announce a massive match up taking place this Friday on SmackDown. In a Champion vs. Champion match, World Heavyweight Champion, Daniel Bryan, goes up against the WWE Champion, Bray Wyatt!
STEEL CAGE MATCH - DERRICK BATEMAN W/ J&J SECURITY DEF. CM PUNK: For once in this war between The Uprising and The Committee, the playing field was even. CM Punk and Derrick Bateman were locked inside of a Steel Cage with no members of either unit present in the building. "Derrick Bateman was blamed for Randy Orton and Batista losing the WWE Tag Team Championships at King of the Ring. Same stipulation. Same opponent. This is Bateman's shot at redemption," said John Bradshaw Layfield, also noting that a win here would mean so much more for Mr. Money in the Bank after the speech that he gave to the WWE Universe. At one point in the match, cameras showed Triple H and AJ Styles watching from the latter's home, the two no doubt rooting on Bateman. After CM Punk delivered a Go to Sleep to Bateman, he fell back onto the canvas, exhausted from the action. Rather than going for a cover, Punk would look towards cage wall and begin scaling it. Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury looked up as Punk climbed to the top of the cage, looking back at Bateman's motionless body instead of exiting. "He's not going for this again, is he?!" Jerry Lawler said as Punk found himself in a familiar spot. With the WWE Universe going wild, Punk flew off of the cage with an Elbow Drop, shades of King of the Ring! This time, however, Bateman managed to move out of harm's way as Punk crashed onto the mat! Punk held his arm as he squirmed around in pain, Bateman picking him up and throwing him into the cage wall! He would follow up by throwing Punk into the opposite wall before planting him with the One Percenter! Bateman got the cover, managing to defeat Punk!
"Derrick Bateman has pinned CM Punk!" was the call made by Michael Cole as the closing bell sounded. Bateman stood to his feet as he stared down at Punk before looking around at the WWE fans that booed him relentlessly. "Look at your hero now! You can't take this from me!" Mr. Money in the Bank shouted at the audience before walking out of the Steel Cage, Jamie Noble handing him back the Money in the Bank briefcase. Bateman headed up the entrance ramp, raising the briefcase in the air as Punk glared back at him. "The biggest win of Derrick Bateman's career. He just pinned CM Punk, the man who walked into WrestleMania XXIX as the WWE Champion," Cole stated. "And pretty soon, Bateman could be champion himself. He has the briefcase to do it. This was the biggest statement that he could make to everyone who is still doubting him. If you're not a believer yet, you're falling behind. Derrick Bateman is here to stay at the top of the WWE!" John Bradshaw Layfield said, the final live shot from the arena being of Bateman.
Cameras would return to the home of AJ Styles, the man himself applauding Derrick Bateman as Triple H put Mr. Money in the Bank over as well. "That's what The Committee is all about. Getting the job done against those who just don't understand what is best for business. And speaking of 'best for business....'" Triple H said as he looked through a folder, pulling out Styles' official WWE contract. "I've picture in my head over and over again what this moment would be like, and it's even better than I thought it would be," Styles said, speaking his first words on WWE programming. "Before you make this official, is there anything you'd like to say to the WWE Universe?" asked Hunter as Styles declined. "I don't need to explain myself to any of those morons. I'm about to sign the most lucrative contract you've ever offered anyone, Hunter. This is my moment and these people should just be glad that I allowed these cameras to come into my home so they could watch history be made," Styles said as Hunter continued to smile, obviously proud of his newest signing. Right when Styles was about to sign his contract, the unimaginable happened. A car actually crashed into his house! "WHAT THE HELL?!?!" shouted Styles as he and Triple H stood up, looking over at the damage. Both stood still in shock as Dean Ambrose exited the vehicle! Ambrose charged at Hunter and Styles, taking the both of them down and firing away with shots. Hunter got back to his feet and tried to go after Ambrose, but the 'Lunatic Fringe' pushed him into a wall. Ambrose kicked Styles in his ribs before grabbing his WWE contract and getting back into his car, driving away from the scene. Styles and Hunter both got back to their feet, the former screaming at the camera crew to call the police. "AMBROSE! YOU SON OF A BITCH!" Hunter yelled out as he left the house, only to find that Ambrose was long gone. AJ Styles' house was nearly in shambles and his WWE contract was now in the possession of Dean Ambrose!

- Seeing Angle start off RAW makes sense given how you ended Smackdown with Angle's triumphant return to WWE when he returned to save the World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan from a beatdown at the hands of Brock Lesnar, Kassius Ohno and Antonio Cesaro after Rollins high-tailed it but still to see Angle back, I am so happy that Angle is back and better than ever but then to see him be interrupted by Paul Heyman also makes sense given Angle and Heyman's history Angle being a former Paul Heyman Guy and this history being brought up but also Brock Lesnar's 2003 feud with Kurt Angle being brought up and then fast forward a decade later and these 2 are crossing paths again, and just when Angle is about to get his ass beat by not only Cesaro and Ohno here comes World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan for the save to set up a Tag Team Match hopefully
- Seeing Angle and Bryan team together considering how they once used to be fierce rivals in this diary when Angle first returned and Bryan was heel back then but now seeing them team together especially to face Heyman Guys Cesaro & Ohno, what a great way to start off RAW, I love it and seeing Angle & the World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan come out on top beating Heyman's clients, Angle now has even more momentum since returning and hopefully he and Lesnar go at it but Daniel Bryan now has even more momentum as World Heavyweight Champion but to see Rollins show up post-match and attack Angle like that and Bryan trying to save Angle only for Rollins to get the hell out of dodge makes sense considering Rollins is facing Bryan for the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam but I can definitely see an Angle/Rollins feud believe it or not
- Why do I have the feeling Natalya is about to be embarrassed at her own vow renewal ceremony? She is going to be humiliated by Tyson Kidd I just know it
- Del Rio unleashing his rage this newfound aggression of his I love it, it is making him relevant again to see him pretty much destroy Drew McIntyre it is like whenever he is in the ring now all he can see all he can think of is Rusev and honestly I like it but then trying to see the rest of 3MB try to touch Del Rio post match was great but then seeing Rusev show up post-match and blindside Del Rio when Del Rio wasn't expecting it, classic heel move and then Del Rio being locked in the Accolade and then a Russian flag being draped all over him like that, you can bet Del Rio will be even angrier now and since we have seen Del Rio locked in the Accolade I can see him locking in the Cross Armbreaker on Rusev and if that happens it should be interesting to see if Rusev taps out considering we never saw Del Rio tap in the Accolade he passed out
- Roman Reigns being stripped of the WWE United States Championship, pretty ballsy move on The Committee's part for them to strip Reigns of the title especially when Reigns is not even in attendance, you can bet Reigns will have serious issues if and when he gets back, I can see Reigns coming back and saying how he is the true WWE United States Champion and that that belt is still his because he was never beaten for the belt he never lost it it was taken away from him but at the same time Reigns he doesn't really need the WWE United States Championship at this point considering he is already a main eventer pretty much so whoever wins the WWE United States Championship I can see them having a real run with it
- A 20-Man Over the Top Rope Battle Royal to determine the new WWE United States Champion hopefully, and to see The Miz throw his name into the battle royal only to be upstaged by a returning Chris Jericho the last time we saw him was the night after WrestleMania 29 in your diary when he lost the WWE Intercontinental Championship to Rollins and hasn't been seen since so for Jericho to throw his name into the WWE United States Championship battle royal I wonder who else will throw their name in? Since Miz, Jericho, Sandow, Carter and now Big E. are in, I wonder who else will be in this Battle Royal?
- Chris Jericho in his return beating Big E., who is a part of Miz's Awesome Entourage, I loved it, Jericho it is like he hasn't missed a step and honestly in this Battle Royal if there was ever a favorite to win it it is definitely Jericho and considering out of all the titles he has won in the WWE, Jericho he has never won the WWE United States Championship but then again Jericho he has never won a Royal Rumble Match and he has never ever won a Money in the Bank briefcase but still Jericho he is a first ballot WWE Hall of Famer if and when he ever retires but I wonder if in the Battle Royal if Miz and his new stablemates will be able to co-exist? I mean in the Battle Royal it is every man for himself
- Now Adrian Neville he is in the WWE United States Championship Battle Royal I wonder who else will throw their name into it?
- Mr. Money in the Bank Derrick Bateman backstage with J & J Security until the former WWE Tag Team Champions Batista & Orton of The Committee show up and it ends up becoming heated when Batista & Orton start to blame Bateman for them losing their titles to Punk & Barrett at the King of the Ring PPV but then Bateman turns it around on them by saying that he wasn't the one who lost the match for them that it was them who lost because it wasn't his titles that were on the line it was theirs but also that he is the future more or less of The Committee while they are nothing more than the past nothing more than relics because let's face it what have Batista & Orton really done lately other than becoming WWE Tag Team Champions? Neither one of them is WWE or World Heavyweight Champion while Bateman he is the future he is guaranteed to become WWE or World Heavyweight Champion especially with his briefcase and whether we like it or not he is the future
- Paige, Uprising member she has to compete tonight and she has to compete in a Tag Team Match against the Bella Twins with her partner being the WWE Divas Champion AJ Lee, I wonder how Paige & AJ are going to be able to co-exist considering they not only hate each other's guts but AJ has to defend her title against not only Paige but Kaitlyn who is a Committee member in a Triple Threat Match for the WWE Divas Championship at Payback but also I wonder if Kaitlyn will somehow show up during this match or post-match? Barrett fellow Uprising member being kicked out of the arena, figures that The Committee would do that seeing as how Barrett not doesn't have a match tonight but The Committee figure that he won't interfere in the Steel Cage Main Event with Punk and Bateman
- Cody Rhodes the new #1 Contender for the WWE Championship, the Prince of Pro Wrestling himself the former leader of God's Gifts going up against one third of The Wyatt Family, Luke Harper, and Cody Rhodes just when he is on his way to winning this match here comes Rowan to cause the DQ, can't say that I'm surprised really but then just when Cody Rhodes is about to hold his own against both Harper & Rowan here comes the WWE Champion Bray Wyatt into the fray and now it is a 3 on 1 assault it's a mugging and then just when that wasn't bad enough, Harper and Rowan bring Cody Rhodes' wife Eden into the ring, now this has just become personal, and Rhodes not only being laid out with a Sister Abigail but Wyatt giving Rhodes a Tombstone Piledriver on the steel steps especially in front of Cody's wife, you can bet their match at Payback now is not only personal but it will now be a straight up fight this will be a war, it's one thing to mess with a man but once you mess with a man's family especially his wife, you pretty much cross a line a line you cannot come back from
- Paige and the WWE Divas Champion AJ Lee beating the Bella Twins, I am surprised Paige and AJ Lee didn't turn on each other during this match but as soon as post-match rolls around Paige turns on AJ, kind of figured that she would and then seeing security get involved trying to get Paige the hell out of the arena, I figured this has to be The Committee written all over this but then seeing AJ high-tail it out of there after she was attacked by Paige, I can't say that I blame her Paige is a lunatic she's psychotic and the fact that she was going to do to Nikki Bella what she did to AJ at Extreme Rules, yes Paige has lost it
- I just knew this wedding wouldn't happen, how did I know Tyson Kidd was going to embarrass Natalya like this? How did I know he was going to publicly humiliate both her and her father Jim The Anvil Neidhart like that and then seeing Kidd attack his now former father in law like that and then Kidd pretty much telling Natalya that not only does he want a divorce but he also wants a match with her at Payback, it seems that Tyson Kidd when he was embarrassed by The Rock that he would've learned his lesson but he didn't and the fact that Natalya even took him back I just feel bad for her right now I really do, but I wonder if Natalya will even accept the match for Payback? I don't think she will but if she does then I can only wonder what Tyson Kidd plans on doing to his soon-to-be ex-wife?
- The Real Americans, Zeb Colter's boys, Jack Swagger & Shelton Benjamin retaining their WWE Tag Team Championships beating The Committee members Batista & Orton who invoked their rematch clause, I figured Batista & Orton would invoke their rematch clause but I just figured they would have done it against Barrett & Punk but they figured that Swagger & Benjamin would be easier opponents but Barrett showing up and pretty much helping The Real Americans to beat Batista & Orton I figured Barrett would considering he probably hates The Committee a hell of a lot more than he does The Real Americans so Swagger, Benjamin and Colter pretty much have Wade Barrett to thank for them still being champions by the way
- Barrett being kicked out of the arena this time for good only for Kane, Batista and Orton to be kicked out of the arena as well because of the WWE Board of Directors, love this, which means that now no one can interfere in the Steel Cage Match between CM Punk and Derrick Bateman
- WWE Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins beating RVD, it is like Rollins is on the roll of his career ever since becoming King of the Ring all be it in controversial fashion but still nonetheless in the record books he is the 2013 King of the Ring which means he is #1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam when he faces Daniel Bryan for that very title but also he is WWE Intercontinental Champion so will Rollins be able to make history by becoming a double champion? Rollins making history as a double champion being both the WWE Intercontinental Champion as well as World Heavyweight Champion, I can't see Rollins being a double champion because the only way Rollins will probably be champion is if he drops the WWE Intercontinental Championship to someone but let's not forget Derrick Bateman he can also cash in his briefcase on either Bryan or on Rollins so
- This Thursday on Smackdown, Champion vs Champion main event, Daniel Bryan the World Heavyweight Champion facing off against the WWE Champion Bray Wyatt, I always love myself some Champion vs Champion matches
- Derrick Bateman perhaps with the biggest win of his career beating CM Punk in the Steel Cage, this has got to be considered an upset because not only did anyone think Bateman would stand a chance here against Punk but everyone including myself thought that Punk had this match won and Punk did have it won but Bateman he more or less found a way to win this match, maybe now Bateman has proved all of his critics all of his naysayers including myself wrong, maybe he does deserve to be "The Future of WWE" maybe he deserves his "spot"
- But the contract signing for AJ Styles to end off RAW, I loved it but what I wasn't counting on was Dean Ambrose showing up in Gainesville, Georgia showing up in AJ Styles' hometown but more or less showing up at AJ's own home and destroying AJ Styles' home and then Dean Ambrose pretty much acting like a deranged lunatic attacking not only Styles but also attacking the COO Triple H like that and then taking off with AJ Styles' contract like that to end RAW, this almost reminded me of The Attitude Era because this segment had an McMahon/Austin feel to it

Post by Planktung on Mar 16, 2015 4:46:32 GMT -5
Today (Tuesday, June 25th), WWE.com posted an article that covered the "End of the Mid-Year Awards," voted on by numerous editors. The article covered four topics - Top Ten Performers of the Mid-Year, Top Five New Stories, Top Ten Matches and a bonus poll concerning a particular Mr. Money in the Bank.
TOP TEN PERFORMERS OF THE MID-YEAR (As voted on by WWE.com)- 10) Dean Ambrose - "While Dean Ambrose is no longer a contracted WWE superstar, the six months that the 'Lunatic Fringe' had cannot be overlooked. Ambrose started off 2013 as the Intercontinental Champion coming off of a huge victory over Chris Jericho. At Battleground in February, Ambrose unsuccessfully challenged Dolph Ziggler for the World Heavyweight Champion, but without a doubt opened the eyes of those in the WWE Universe who were not yet sold on his abilities. Ambrose's career would then hit a detour at WrestleMania XXIX, losing the Intercontinental Championship to Jericho in a Two out of Three Falls match. Unable to recapture the title from the new-new champion, Seth Rollins, Ambrose found himself embroiled in a very heated rivalry against WWE COO Triple H, and soon, The Committee. After being fired by the group, Ambrose was given the opportunity to earn his contract back. All that he needed to do was win the King of the Ring tournament. Ambrose made it all the way to the Finals, ultimately losing to Rollins after shocking involvement from AJ Styles. Just when we thought that we had seen the last of the 'Lunatic Fringe,' Ambrose surprised the WWE Universe once again this past Monday on RAW by driving a car into the house of Styles. Yes, you read that correctly. Dean Ambrose crashed a car into AJ Styles' home just to make sure that he couldn't have the contract that was stolen from him. Even without a spot on the roster, Ambrose is still a hot topic among fans.
- 9) Kassius Ohno - At the start of 2013, Kassius Ohno was on top of NXT as its reigning champion. Ohno made it known right away that this would be his year by defeating William Regal in a barbaric I Quit match. It wasn't long before Ohno found his next challenger in Sami Zayn. Ohno crushed the hopes of the NXT Universe at NXT ArRival by defeating Zayn to retain the title. It wasn't until NXT's one-year anniversary show on April 10th that the 'Young Knockout Kid' was finally toppled by Adam Cole. We would later learn that would be Ohno's final appearance on NXT as he received the call to the main roster, making an immediate impact by aligning himself with Paul Heyman and his longtime friend, Antonio Cesaro. Ohno made his Pay-Per-View debut at Extreme Rules, teaming up with Cesaro and Brock Lesnar to gain an emphatic victory over John Cena, CM Punk and Wade Barrett. Ohno's next stop was a Triple Threat World Heavyweight Championship match at King of the Ring, but was unable to win his first title on the main roster. The sight of gold around the waist of Kassius Ohno is inevitable at this point, as is his rise to the top of the WWE.
- 8) Sami Zayn - While on the subject of NXT, let's take this opportunity to recognize the brand's most popular superstar today. Sami Zayn burst onto the scene towards the end of 2012, but it didn't take long at all for him to win the hearts of those in the NXT Universe. Sure, Zayn hasn't had the ideal 2013. He failed to capture the NXT Championship from Kassius Ohno at NXT ArRival, being forced to sit back and watch Adam Cole do what he was unable to. At NXT TakeOver, Zayn was able to finally win the big one and defeat Cole for the NXT Title, but it was all ripped away from him immediately as his former best friend, Kevin Owens, would make his NXT debut by attacking Zayn. This gave Tyler Breeze the opening to cash-in his Money in the Bank briefcase to become the NXT Champion. Despite his shortcomings, there is no denying that Sami Zayn has been one of 2013's most exciting performers to watch thus far, and if you ask all of us here at WWE.com, we would all agree that Zayn will continue to shine throughout the rest of the year. Ole! (Note: Sami Zayn is still trying to figure out why audiences chant that at him.)
- 7) John Cena - The most polarizing WWE superstar in recent memory makes our list at number seven. It took a while for Cena to find his groove in 2013. He captured a victory over Seth Rollins in the first match on Monday Night RAW of the year, but would go on to lose the Royal Rumble match that he vowed to win. Cena teamed up The Rock, Triple H and Ric Flair at Battleground to take on The Wyatt Family in a WarGames match, once again coming up short. Cena, however, rose to the occasion at WrestleMania XXIX, defeating CM Punk and The Rock in the main event to once again become WWE Champion. Recently, his reign came to an end at the hands of Bray Wyatt (and Roman Reigns) at King of the Ring. Cena would unsuccessfully invoke his rematch clause the following night on RAW, which is where things went from bad-to-worst for him. Reigns would once again attack Cena, delivering a Spear through the stage. Cena is currently inactive after undergoing elbow surgery last week, but we can be sure that when Cena returns, he will be as focused as ever to not only gain revenge against Reigns, but to reclaim the WWE Championship and make 2013 his year.
- 6) CM Punk - What a year 2013 has been thus far for the 'Best in the World.' CM Punk kicked off the year as the WWE Champion, teaming up with Paul Heyman to defeat Wade Barrett in a Handicap match at the Royal Rumble. Punk's next title defense came at WrestleMania XIX, failing to retain against John Cena and The Rock in a Triple Threat match that saw the former come out victorious. After Punk was unable to regain the championship the following night on RAW, he shocked the world by kicking Paul Heyman to the curb, declaring that he no longer needed his guidance. Punk found himself in battles against Heyman's clients, failing against Antonio Cesaro, Kassius Ohno and Brock Lesnar at Extreme Rules in a match that saw him team up with Cena and Wade Barrett. Punk and Barrett's alliance would remain intact following Extreme Rules. Not because they wanted to, but because they believed that they needed to create an uprising, or rather The Uprising, in order to rid the WWE of The Committee. Punk and Barrett defeated Randy Orton, Batista and Derrick Bateman at King of the Ring to become the WWE Tag Team Champions, only to lose the straps four days later to The Real Americans. So long as Punk does not continue to be ejected from arenas at the request of The Committee, the 'Best in the World' will surely use the rest of 2013 to prove why he holds that moniker.
- 5) Seth Rollins - Throughout these last six months, one thing has remained the same concerning Seth Rollins - everyone is talking about him. The Intercontinental Champion himself deserves all of the credit for that as he has continuously given the WWE Universe reasons to pay attention to him. Rollins came into 2013 as the hottest superstar on the roster after making an emphatic debut at Bragging Rights back in December. He entered the Royal Rumble match as the number two entrant, lasting all the way to the final four before being eliminated by Roman Reigns. Rollins would gain retribution against the 'One Man Army' at Battleground, defeating him in a match that saw disqualifications and count outs be thrown out of the window. While Rollins was not able to capture the Money in the Bank briefcase at WrestleMania, he added the Intercontinental Championship to his growing list of accolades the following night on RAW. Rollins has taken on any and all challengers, defeating the likes of Chris Jericho, Dean Ambrose, Sheamus and Rob Van Dam to hold onto the gold. Rollins' next accomplishment would come in the form of King of the Ring, winning the tournament and earning himself a World Heavyweight Championship match at SummerSlam. If Rollins can maintain his momentum in the second half of 2013, we very well could see him hoist up both the World Heavyweight and Intercontinental Championships on August 18th.
- 4) Derrick Bateman - A superstar whose rise to prominence came practically out of nowhere. Derrick Bateman kicked off his 2013 by confronting The Rock on Monday Night RAW, guaranteeing that he would be the man to eliminate the 'Great One' from the Royal Rumble match. Not many people in the WWE Universe bought Bateman's declaration, and rightfully so since he was throwing out of the Rumble by The Rock. Bateman, however, would silence his critics at Battleground, defeating Rob Van Dam on the Kickoff Show to capture his first title in WWE, the United States Championship. Bateman was the first superstar to throw his name into the mix of things for the Money in the Bank Ladder match at WrestleMania XXIX, though he was not considered to be a favorite heading into the bout. So imagine the shocked expressions on the faces of those watching WrestleMania as Bateman scaled the ladder and retrieved the briefcase, guaranteeing himself a WWE or World Heavyweight Championship match at some point between now and WrestleMania XXX. Bateman would then align himself with The Committee as Triple H declared him to be the 'Future of the WWE.' Well, that 'future' found himself in jeopardy at Extreme Rules. Not only did Bateman lose the United States Championship, but was put through a table during the main event by Paige. Bateman spent the next number of weeks in a wheelchair, though it was all just a set up to get the better of CM Punk and Wade Barrett six nights before King of the Ring. At the Pay-Per-View event in Chicago, Bateman competed alongside Randy Orton and Batista, defending their WWE Tag Team Championships against the two previously mentioned Uprising members. Bateman was unable to put Punk away in the end, resulting in Orton and Batista losing their titles. Mr. Money in the Bank, however, was set out to redeem himself, costing Punk and Barrett the Tag Team Titles later on in the week. This past Monday on RAW, before competing in the biggest match of his career thus far, Bateman ranted on the WWE Universe, saying that he has worked for everything that he has and WILL soon be a World Champion. Bateman backed up his statement by defeating Punk in a Steel Cage match with no assistance from any Committee members. Derrick Bateman is undoubtedly the fastest rising superstar of 2013, and in our opinion, the fourth best competitor of the mid-year.
- 3) Paige & AJ Lee - Here we go. The reason why this list is labeled as the "Top Ten Performers" rather than the "Top Ten Superstars." Because of what these two women have done in 2013, we at WWE.com decided to place them both at number three. Paige and AJ Lee started off their year in similar fashion, defeating Kaitlyn at the Royal Rumble and Battleground respectively. The two would finally cross paths at WrestleMania XXIX. AJ had the opportunity to fulfill her girlhood dream on the grandest stage of them in all in her home state, but ultimately, it was Paige who got the victory. This loss would lead to AJ making a deal with Stephanie McMahon and Kaitlyn. During a rematch in Paige's home country of England, AJ would turn her back on the 'Anti-Diva,' leveling her with the title to become the new Divas Champion. Paige was not only out for revenge, but blood as well. At Extreme Rules, the two of them competed in the first-ever (and possibly only) Last Diva Standing match. The bout would close the Pay-Per-View, making it the only Divas match in WWE history to do so. Chairs. Tables. Barbed wire. Thumbtacks. You name it. Paige and AJ put on one of the most unfathomable, shocking matches in the history of sports entertainment. That night, they did not just earn the respect of the entire wrestling world, but they changed the complexion of women's wrestling in WWE forever. Paige has since gone on to become a member of The Uprising, her sights set on Stephanie McMahon in what has become as personal of a rivalry as we have ever seen. AJ Lee was exiled from The Committee due to the graphic nature of Last Diva Standing, feuding with her ex-best friend, Kaitlyn. At Payback, AJ and Paige will cross paths once again in a Triple Threat match for the Divas Championship, Kaitlyn also being involved. Even beyond 2013, the WWE Universe will forever look back at the two women who changed the Divas division. It wasn't the stereotypical 'supermodel Diva.' It was the two girls who shared the same dream - to make a difference in the WWE. And dammit, they have.
- 2) Bray Wyatt - When Bray Wyatt says that he has the whole world in his hands, he isn't joking. The 'Eater of Worlds' started off 2013 by competing against Triple H in a brutal No Holds Barred match at the Royal Rumble, managing to score a victory over 'The Game.' Wyatt would lead Luke Harper, Erick Rowan and Kane into a WarGames match at Battleground against John Cena, The Rock, Triple H and Ric Flair. It was Wyatt who gained the win for his team after pinning Cena. Following that, Bray Wyatt would look to do what no other superstar has ever been able to do - break the legendary undefeated streak of The Undertaker at WrestleMania. Wyatt was unable to do so, losing his own undefeated streak in the process. Despite the loss, Wyatt came as close as anyone ever has to doing the unthinkable on the grandest stage of them all. The 'Eater of Worlds' was still out to end the legacy of The Undertaker, finally succeeding at Extreme Rules in a Buried Alive match. With the 'Deadman' out of the way, Wyatt would set his sights on the WWE Championship, capturing it against John Cena at King of the Ring. Now set to do battle with Cody Rhodes at Payback, Bray Wyatt looks to be unstoppable. Power, listeners and the WWE Championship. Wyatt has it all.
- 1) Daniel Bryan - 5-0. That is the Pay-Per-View record thus far for Daniel Bryan in 2013. The ultimate underdog made history at the Royal Rumble in January, entering the match from the number one spot and going on to win it all. Along with that, Bryan set a new record for the longest time spent in a single Royal Rumble match, breaking the time set by Rey Mysterio in 2006. With a title match awaiting him at WrestleMania XXIX, Bryan captained a team consisting of himself, Kurt Angle and Wrestling Royalty at Battleground to overcome God's Gifts in a WarGames match. Bryan's one-on-one World Heavyweight Championship match at WrestleMania became a Fatal Four Way Elimination match, but that did not stop him from capturing the title for the second year in a row on the grandest stage of them all, doing the unthinkable by making Kurt Angle submit to the Yes Lock. Bryan found himself in a 30-minute Iron Man match at Extreme Rules against the former World Heavyweight Champion, Dolph Ziggler. In Sudden Death Overtime, Bryan was able to defeat Ziggler once and for all and hold onto his championship. The odds would be stacked against Bryan again at King of the Ring, this time defending in a Triple Threat match against Antonio Cesaro and Kassius Ohno. Bryan once again proved the naysayers wrong by defeating the two 'Paul Heyman Guys.' Bryan looks ahead to SummerSlam on August 18th, where he will defend the World Championship against the Intercontinental Champion, Seth Rollins. As the first-half of 2013 wraps up, there is no denying that the best performer has been Daniel Bryan. Do we believe that his success can carry into the second-half of the year? Yes! Yes! Yes!

- If the Slammy Awards were to happen today, Superstar of the Year hands down would be Daniel Bryan but there is still 6 more months left in the year so any one of the 10 superstars can still be Superstar of the Year
- But Match of the Year will obviously be Last Diva Standing Extreme Rules WWE Divas Championship AJ vs Paige
- But as for Derrick Bateman I see him cashing in his Money in the Bank briefcase which he won at WrestleMania 29 by cashing it in on whoever the World Heavyweight Champion is because I can't see him cashing in on the WWE Champion Bray Wyatt he would have to have a death wish and Harper & Rowan would stop that from happening so I can see him cashing it in on either Bryan or on Rollins but doing it at SummerSlam
- But the most shocking moment OMG Moment for Slammy Awards would be AJ Styles' debut in WWE

Big opening for Raw with Kurt Angle involved. One thing I have noticed you do a lot is have the opening segment lead into the opening match. It's happened quite a few times and while its a nice technique, don't overdo it. Very happy to see Bryan and Angle walk out victorious, would've seemed anticlimactic had they lost. Cesaro and Ohno seem to have fallen off the map though. Rollins making the attack on yet another icon makes sense. Good victory for Del Rio and I'm intrigued by this rivalry with Rusev, it's pretty interesting. Not sure how I feel about Roman Reigns just being stripped of the United States Championship, but I do love Battle Royals. Hopefully it's a truly unexpected result. The return of Jericho is huge and a good return win for him against Big E. I can't see him becoming the Champion though. Ugh, I just can't get behind Derrick Bateman. Kinda ruins the show for me when he's being pushed. Interesting situation with Rhodes and Wyatt. I assumed Rhodes would be going heel after his whole "new leaf" scenario heading into King of the Ring but it seems not. You love getting physical with the women, don't you? Good victory for AJ Lee and Paige and things are getting hardcore again. Loved the wedding segment and the match set for Payback reminds me of when I had Daniel Bryan take on AJ in an old diary of mine. A huge victory for the Real Americans here and it made sense with Barrett's involvement. Necessary victory for Seth Rollins over RVD. I am wondering what will become of the Intercontinental Championship should Rollins win come SummerSlam, assuming he's still Champion by then. Will it be unified like it was a decade ago? A pretty big promo for Bateman, basically saying that he'll prove himself. I can't see that. Shocked to see him defeat CM Punk, and that can only mean that he is indeed in it for the long haul. There's many others who deserve his spot, that's what gets me. A brilliant close to the show with Dean Ambrose getting his revenge on AJ Styles by interrupting his contract signing. Not too sure about the whole house thing, as you've said it seems very Attitude Era but I'm not sure that fits here. But good nonetheless.

Monday Night Raw starts off hot tonight, Maggle! We got Kurt Angle! He wants Brock Lesnar and out comes Paul Heyman, setting the stage for a huge opening tag team match with Daniel Bryan and Kurt Angle versus Antonio Cesaro and Kassius Ohno, with the prior getting the rightful victory. Not one hundred percent sure how I feel about Angle getting in the ring already, though, upon his return. Scumbag Seth Rollins just kicked Kurt Angle in the back of the head! Now he is running away from Bryan like a little punk BITCH. Oh yeah, the vow renewal is tonight and Natalya is getting warned by Naomi and Alicia Fox. We all know this isn't going to go well, right? Next up, Alberto Del Rio squashes Drew McIntyre and here comes Rusev after 3MB gets some work in! Rusev is one summinabish. I like the idea of him going after Mexico, not just America, as no country is better than Russia. Hey, Kane just vacated the United States Championship! That son of a bitch! Now we're going to have a battle royal at Payback? Seriously though, where is Roman Reigns? The Miz wants in on this shiz and wait a minute - Chris Jericho! Y! 2! J! Similar to his re-debut in reality and he gets the win over Miz and he adds some shine to the United States title match. Mr. Money in the Bank thinks he can beat CM Punk? Please, not on his own, that is for sho. Kane setting up a divas tag and Paige has to team up with AJ. Fine and dandy, I suppose. Cody Rhodes beats Luke Harper via disqualification as Erick Rowan attacks! I'm not that sold on this being a WWE Championship feud. I mean, I can buy it because it really is secondary to The Committee vs The Uprising, but, still. Anyway, good stuff with Eden being held hostage as Cody gets dropped. Definitely makes this shiznit personal. What's next? Goldust!? Dusty!? Mrs. Rhodes (if she's still alive somewhere)!?!? AJ Lee and Paige get the win over The Bella Twins and now Paige is going nuts since she can't get her hands on everyone else. Damn bitch be cray. No tacks for you tonight, Paige! Jesus Christ at this vow renewal, Tyson Kidd just snapped like a bitch. FACT FACT FACT! A match with Natalya and a divorce? This guy is facked up, man. Next up, Wade Barrett costs Randy Orton and Batista the WWE Tag Team Titles, thankfully, as The Real Americans get to keep the belts as they should. Kane, Orton and Batista get kicked out of the arena? Man, shiz ain't gonn' go right for The Committee. Seth Rollins beats Rob Van Dam, no surprise here. Obvious win. Well, Jesus, Bateman. He just cut a CM Punk pipe bomb type promo and he is da man now, ain't he? I still don't overlike him that much to be this big of a superstar, but, hey. Whatevs. Welp, Derrick Bateman just pinned CM Punk. What the eff, man? You're really riding Bateman's momentum filled 2013 and you're making him a viable uppercard superstar in the process. He can still suck it, though. And now we go back to AJ Styles' home with Triple H to sign the contract and BOOM CRASH SMASH HERE COMES DEAN AMBROSE THROUGH HIS DAMN HOUSE WITH A CAR! THE LUNATIC FRINGE! HES PSYCHO, MAGGLE! HES PSYCHO! Crazy ending that was pretty strange to see in this day and age and although I don't buy AJ Styles as like, an ultimate franchise signing still, it was a good addition. A good episode of Raw with a lot of progression, but Payback still seems like an afterthought to Summerslam, which, although it is, kind of hurts the upcoming pay-per-view in my eyes.

Sorry for my late reply. I feel like you pointing out that Eden was doing the announcing is going to be significant. Good opening promo, I dug Kurt Angle's mention of how Paul Heyman has "flavors of the month". We should get a tag team match playa. And we do! Glad the faces won as Angle and Bryan are a sick team. The Seth Rollins superkick to the back of the head is vicious. I sense something bad happening at the Tyson Kidd/Nattie vow renewal. I love that you've found something for Alberto Del Rio to do. His feud with Rusev should be damn good. Kane can't say May 19th. Oh no, I said it. He might kill me. Abeyance with another title reign. That guy is racking up accomplishments. A battle royal is an interesting call, but I prefer a tournament. I'm a sucker for those. Loving the Miz and Chris Jericho stuff. Always great to have Jericho back. I assume he will be part of the battle royal. That could help the prestige of the title like t did for the Intercontinental Title earlier in the year. Have I mentioned I love Big E as Miz's bodyguard? Jericho winning in his return was obvious. Great backstage promo by Derrick Bateman. AJ teaming with Paige? My pants are off. Bray Wyatt bringing Eden into the feud is pure genius. Remembering that Cody Rhodes said she was the reason for his change of heart makes this incredible. I can't wait for this feud to progress. Good lord man. More thumbtacks? Paige is insane. The vow renewal went south as expected. Anvil getting knocked out and the continuous FACT stuff was excellent. A match at Payback? That's not PG. Interesting heel/heel Tag Team Title match. Wade Barrett getting involved worked and I'm glad to see the belts go back to an actual tag team. Their wins over Punk and Barrett as well as Randy Orton and Batista makes the Real Americans seem legit. Seth Rollins over RVD is fine. The Derrick Bateman promo was great, but I feel like he kind of came off like a face a bit. Or at least a justified villain which is good. Obviously it was a massive win for Derrick Bateman, but he needed something like this to solidify the push you've given him. It's interesting that he's such a prominent part of the company considering how stacked your roster is. The fact that you can juggle everything amazes me. Styles, Angle, Brock, Bryan, Punk, Wade, Cody, Bray, Cena, Ziggler, Bateman, Ohno, Cesaro etc. The close to the show was strong and similar to the Orton/Triple H segment from the WrestleMania 25 build. Overall, another strong show. Payback is looking sweet.

- I really can't wait to see what you have planned for not only NXT but Smackdown too because the build-up heading towards WWE Payback as a PPV but I really do have to wonder if the World Heavyweight Championship will be defended at WWE Payback considering Bryan he is defending the title at SummerSlam against the 2013 King of the Ring winner Seth Rollins so I have to wonder if Bryan will be defending his title at Payback? Because if he does then that SummerSlam match between him and Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship probably won't even happen and let's not forget Mr. Money in the Bank Derrick Bateman he can cash in his briefcase on Bryan or he could cash in on Rollins should Rollins beat Bryan
- But then again Bateman he can also cash in his briefcase on WWE Champion Bray Wyatt but to do that he would be signing his own death warrant especially if he does considering Harper and Rowan they would stop any cash in from happening and let's not forget that even by some miracle Cody Rhodes were to beat Bray Wyatt for that WWE Championship, Bateman then could cash in his briefcase on Rhodes too
- Angle/Lesnar will obviously happen at SummerSlam and if it does, Lesnar/Angle will probably go on last to main event SummerSlam to close out SummerSlam so

June 26th, 2013
BAYLEY DEF. NXT WOMEN'S CHAMPION SASHA BANKS IN A NON-TITLE MATCH: It's been one month since Sasha Banks captured the NXT Women's Championship from Emma at NXT TakeOver, and since then, 'The Boss' has looked unstoppable here on NXT. Bayley was put to the test tonight in the evening's opening contest, proving to be a worthy competitor for the reigning. As Sasha had the Bank Statement locked in, the entrance music of Emma hit to the delight of the Full Sail audience. The former NXT Women's Champion made her way down to ringside, circling the ring while performing her signature dance routine. The crowd joined in, only further infuriating Sasha. She released the Bank Statement, sticking her head out of the ropes to shout at Emma. As Emma made her way back up the entrance ramp, Sasha turned around and was met with a Belly-to-Bayley suplex! Baley got the cover, picking up the shocking victory! Bayley couldn't believe the result herself as the roof nearly came off of the Full Sail arena. "Bayley just pinned the Women's Champion!" Jason Albert said on commentary as Bayley had her arm raised, hugging the official in joy. She walked around the ringside area, slapping hands with everyone in the front row with a huge smile on her face. She then met Emma on the stage, hugging her as well while Sasha Banks got to her feet. The NXT Women's Champion screamed, knowing that Emma had a hand in costing her this match. PMA DEF. BLAKE & MURPHY: Last week, the NXT Universe was introduced to the brand's newest tag team, Drake Younger and Solomon Crowe, collectively known at PMA. As for the meaning behind the acronym, it all depends on who you ask. Crowe believes that it stands for "Pain, Malice and Agony," while Younger insists that the meaning is actually "Positive Mental Attitude." Regardless of what PMA truly stands for, the team looked beyond impressive in their debut match, winning over the Full Sail audience immediately. The finish came when Younger delivered a Death Valley Driver to Murphy, whose back landed onto the knees of Crowe. Younger got the cover to pick up the victory. The crowd came alive once again as both Drake Younger and Solomon Crowe rose to their feet, PMA victorious in their debut match. The NXT Universe roared with chants of "PMA," showing just how popular the duo already was. Younger hugged Crowe, who pushed him away. "Pain, Malice and Agony!" Crowe shouted with disdain in his voce. "Positive Mental Attitude!" Younger stated in a delightful mood as he stepped onto the second rope, chanting the team's name along with the fans in attendance.
Backstage, NXT General Manager, Brad Maddox, was shown in his office when Alex Riley walked in. Riley, who had not been seen on NXT in months, asked Maddox if he even knew that he's been out for a while with an injury. "Of course I did, Riley. You're one of NXT's most valuable talents," Maddox stated. "Really? So if that's the case, then you would know that I've been cleared now for a month to compete. I sat backstage at TakeOver just in case there was a spot available for me. And the next week. And then the next week until finally, it dawned on me. You don't give a damn about Alex Riley," he said, the crowd audibly getting behind him. "You've got the wrong idea, Riley. I've just been waiting for the right moment to get you back on the show, and you'll be glad to know that moment has arrived. Tonight, you're going up against Sir Kenneth Cameron." BARON CORBIN DEF. BO ROTUNDO: A rematch from NXT TakeOver last month as Bo Rotundo was finally given the opportunity to avenge his humiliating eleven second loss to Baron Corbin. While Rotundo was able to take the match beyond eleven seconds this time, the action was still over rather quickly as Corbin delivered the End of Days to Rotundo, covering him for his second victory over the 'Inspirational Star.' "Do we have an official time on that?" "Who care? It wasn't much longer than their first match." That was the exchange between Byron Saxton and Renee Young as Baron Corbin was declared the winner. The 'Lone Wolf' made his way up the entrance ramp, not looking back at the downed Rotundo in the ring. "Bo keeps talking about Bo-lieving in himself, but two losses in a row to Baron Corbin in quick fashion have to have an effect on his mentality," Jason Albert said as Rotundo slowly began to stir to his feet, not even attempting to keep a smile on his face.
At this time, a recap of last week's main event was shown as Finn Balor and Hideo Itami defeated The Alpha Wolves to become the brand new NXT Tag Team Champions. With so much buzz around Itami and Balor's victory, the duo will address the NXT Universe next week. However, they will be doing so on what is being called "The Sitting of Angels," a new talk show hosted by Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian, The Addiction. Backstage, Devin Taylor was standing by with WWE superstar, Evan Bourne. Bourne stepped into the picture as Devin asked for his thoughts heading into tonight's match against Kevin Owens. Bourne said that this is an interesting match up because of the unknown factor. "This is Kevin Owens' first match in NXT, and it also happens to be mine. I've been out for some time now, so the NXT Universe is going to see a bigger, faster and stronger Evan Bourne. An Evan Bourne who is going to climb to the top and become NXT Champion. I'm not here in NXT to get my stock back up and then just move on to RAW and SmackDown. I'm reinventing my career and changing that landscape of NXT at the same -" he said before being interrupt by the reigning NXT Champion, Tyler Breeze. "Correct me if I'm wrong, Evan, but did I just hear you say that you're going to become NXT Champion. No, no, no. That's where you're wrong. I understand that you're new to NXT, so I'll explain this to you carefully. This isn't RAW or SmackDown where you have bearded uggos carrying the World Championships or women putting on bar fights with pointed objects. This is NXT, where the ruler is the 'King of Cuteville,' population one. So, you just keep dreaming about the day that you actually become a champion without Air Boom or People Power," said Breeze. In response, Bourne delivered a slap across the face of Breeze! Bourne left the scene as the NXT Champion held his face, horrified that his 'gorgeous' face was just struck. SIR KENNETH CAMERON W/ WILLIAM REGAL DEF. ALEX RILEY: Alex Riley's first match back on NXT since being sidelined with an injury shortly after NXT ArRival in February. Riley returned to his babyface character for this match, getting the NXT Universe behind him as he took the fight to the vicious Sir Kenneth Cameron. Riley's comeback didn't have the ideal ending as Kenneth planted him with an Impaler DDT to pick up the victory. Sir Kenneth Cameron rose to his feet as William Regal joined him in the ring, the diabolical duo standing tall over Alex Riley. Kenneth, however, was far from finished. He picked Riley back up to his feet, delivering another Impaler DDT. Kenneth continued to deliver DDTs, getting two more in before Corey Graves made the save. Kenneth and Regal hightailed out of the ring as Graves, who was defeated by Kenneth a few weeks back, checked on Riley while daring the two Englishmen to get back into the ring. Video footage was shown at this time of Michael Bennett, speaking from an undisclosed location. Bennett stated that his life has been hell ever since Enzo Amore defeated him at NXT TakeOver. "You humiliated me in that ring, took Maria from me and proceeded to humiliate her every day of her life. That's all going to change next week because Enzo, I'm calling your ass out. Meet me in that ring for the rematch that the NXT Universe has been waiting for. My master plan will come to fruition and I'll have exactly what I want - revenge and my girl."
Don't miss this week's edition of Friday Night SmackDown, featuring a huge Champion vs. Champion match. WWE Champion, Bray Wyatt, battles the World Heavyweight Champion, Daniel Bryan! Also in store for the WWE Universe is a match up between Uprising and Committee members, Wade Barrett and Derrick Bateman! Plus, WWE COO Triple H will respond to Dean Ambrose after crashing (no pun intended) the contract signing of AJ Styles this past Monday. KEVIN OWENS DEF. EVAN BOURNE: A monumental main event here on NXT as Kevin Owens made his in-ring debut, and Evan Bourne made his NXT debut in his first match in months. The former United States and WWE Tag Team Champion was able to get the audience behind him, looking to be on the verge of victory at several points. Bourne climbed to the top rope, coming down with a Hurricanrana attempt. Owens, however, was able to use his strength to prevent the maneuver, throw Bourne back into the air and deliver a Pop Up Powerbomb! Owens got the cover, defeating Bourne to get his first ever win on NXT. A mixture of cheers and boos could be heard in the Full Sail Arena as Kevin Owens raised his arm in the air, celebrating a successful NXT debut. "We can continuously question the integrity of Kevin Owens, but the fact of the matter is that we could be looking at a future NXT Champion or even a WWE Champion," said Byron Saxton. As Owens looked out into the NXT Universe with no true expression on his face, the NXT Champion, Tyler Breeze, made his way down to the ring. He immediately kicked Evan Bourne in the rib area, assaulting him as a result of their altercation earlier in the evening. When Owens noticed 'Prince Pretty' in the ring, he approached the NXT Champion and turned him around. "You're trying to steal my moment?" asked Owens. Breeze tried to shove Owens, telling him to take his 'uggo' behind to the back. Owens retaliated by placing Breeze in position for a Powerbomb, but the NXT Champion was able to push him away and hit a Supermodel Kick! Owens rolled out of the ring as Breeze went back on the attack on Bourne. This continued until Adam Cole hit the scene, going right after Tyler Breeze. Cole, who walked into NXT TakeOver as the champion, clearly still has his sights set on the gold as he and 'Prince Pretty' slugged it out in the ring. Kevin Owens held his jaw as stood to his feet at ringside, noticing Sami Zayn running towards him down the entrance ramp! The NXT Universe came unglued as Zayn struck Owens repatedly, taking him down to the floor. The two of them brawled as Adam Cole and Evan Bourne, who was finally back to his feet, double teamed Breeze. "Breeze, Cole and Bourne in the ring! Zayn and Owens on the outside! It's anarchy in the Full Sail Arena!" Jason Albert said as the chaos continued with the crowd going wild.

Been a while since I replied to any diary but I have been reading when I've had the chance.
This reply will not cover any particular show but just general thoughts on some of your going on's...
You are doing a great job getting over or establishing guys like Rollins, Bateman, Rhodes and Reigns. Actually thought Rhodes was a shoe in to win KOTR purely based on the story you seemed to be telling with Rhodes and Cena but then you surprised everyone with Rollins winning the tournament and Wyatt winning the title.
Like Wyatt as champion the Reigns turn feels a little rushed but we'll see where that goes.
Bateman was put over strong on Raw that was great booking. Well done.
The uprising/authority rivalry has been very heated only critiscm is individually Punk, Barrett, Orton, Batista etc don't feel as over as they once were actually Paige and AJ come across as the top stars in the company. Followed by Brock Lesnar.
Ohno and Cesaro have lost some steam since the night after Mania which has brought Bryan down a notch or to also fully expect Rollins to take the title at SummerSlam.
Wrestling Royalty randomly have always been a favourite of mine so glad to see there on their way back also. Randomly you booked Sin Cara very well last year where's he gone?
Awesome Entourage is.... Awesome
Closing what I am enjoying most about your diary currently is how you are building for the future this feels a little like 97 WWE and the future is bright in the hands of Bryan, Ziggler, Ambrose, Reigns, Rhodes, Wyatt, Bateman and others. Keep it going.

- Bayley actually pinning the WWE NXT Women's Champion The Boss Sasha Banks, well Bayley owes a huge assist to Emma because if it wasn't for Emma's distraction Bayley would have never have won this match much less pin Sasha but Sasha took her eyes off the ball and see that is what happens when you take your eyes off the ball, but it seems Emma is not done with Sasha not by a long shot especially with the WWE NXT Women's Championship hanging in the balance
- PMA beating Murphy and Blake, I love PMA already, I can definitely see them as a babyface tag team here in NXT as if we don't have enough of those but at the same time I can eventually see PMA turning heel I mean if anything they are much better suited as heels anyway but as for Murphy and Blake I can see big things for them too especially if they decide to stick around in NXT
- Riley in this he came off as a heel sort of but he was being cheered as a babyface but for Alex Riley I can see him eventually turning heel on NXT, but for Riley to face Sir Kenneth, in Riley's first match back in NXT I am actually looking forward to this
- Baron Corbin does it yet again beating Bo Dallas yet again, I mean when is enough finally going to be enough? I mean seriously Baron continues to beat Bo time and time again it is honestly not fun anymore and Baron he just is at the point where he needs to be elevated here in NXT whereas Bo Dallas he is better off just feuding with someone else
- Kazarian and Daniels having their own talk show in NXT, I love this this is going to be great, a thing of beauty
- WWE NXT Champion Tyler Breeze I was beginning to wonder where he was but to see him here tonight on NXT, and then him crossing paths with Evan Bourne like that and it ending in Bourne slapping the taste out of Breeze's mouth you can bet Breeze is going to make Bourne pay for that
- Sir Kenneth beating A-Ry in A-Ry's first match back in WWE in NXT, I mean Riley is obviously showing some ring rust I mean he hasn't been in the ring in a while especially being on the panel as an announcer for so long it is probably like he has missed a step in the ring or two so to see him lose here against Kenneth wasn't that big of a surprise but then seeing Corey Graves of all people make the save for Riley just as Kenneth is beating the holy hell out of A-Ry post match, I am shocked by this given Corey Graves being a heel, could this mean a babyface turn for Corey Graves?
- Michael Bennett he hasn't been right ever since he lost everything literally it is almost like Bennett has become almost something like a psychotic loon I mean he loses against Enzo and then on top of that he loses his girl Maria to Enzo in a match for her services and he has been on a downward spiral ever since and Bennett has laid out the challenge for a rematch but will Enzo accept?
- Smackdown I am looking forward to it, I mean you have a Champion vs Champion main event with Bray Wyatt the WWE Champion going up against the World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan and then you have Triple H responding to Dean Ambrose's stunt that he pulled crashing AJ Styles' contract signing and then you have Uprising vs Committee with Barrett facing Bateman, this is huge I can't wait for Smackdown
- Main event, Kevin Owens beating Evan Bourne, I mean like was this match ever in any doubt? I mean Owens ever since he has broke in to NXT he has more or less been a beast a monster here in NXT, that Pop-Up Powerbomb once Owens hits that I mean it's good night that is how awesome this finisher is I mean it literally folded Bourne up like an accordion that was sickening but then post-match the WWE NXT Champion Tyler Breeze trying to more or less pick up the scraps but then Owens tries to stop him accusing Breeze of trying to steal his spotlight and then it ends up in Breeze laying out Owens and then Cole showing up and Zayn showing up and it all ending in a melee, what a way to end NXT

- Bayley beating the Women's Champion gives her a strong image and a strong win. Even though Bayley won this sets up nicely for a Sasha Banks and Emma match with the outside interference.
- Drake Younger was a regular at a lot of shows near where I live and was actually training at a building of a promotion I used to go to all the time so it's nice seeing him added in some diaries, especially now he is in the WWE. Good tag team with the two and they picked up a good win over Blake & Murphy. The team looks over with the crowd and are a tag team for the future.
- Alex Riley going up against Sir Kenneth Cameron is a good booking by Brad Maddox.
- Baron Corbin winning again against Bo Rotundo is a good choice, I hate Bo. I hate everything about Bo-lieving and all of that stuff so I hope you bury him.
- Finn Balor, Hideo Itami, Christopher Daniels, and Kazarian.. that is awesome as hell. I like the way you book NXT already!
- Breeze should drop the title to Bourne because I really miss him and wish he was still popular in the WWE. Never returned from that injury but glad to see him return in your diary.
- Sir Kenneth Cameron beating Riley is a good way to put him over since it was Riley's first match back. It was a good win and allowed Cameron to give Riley a beat down after the match.
- Michael Bennett calling out Enzo is awesome, you really have filled your NXT with loads of good talent that I could really see there.
- Owens winning over Bourne is fine because I really enjoy both. Owens winning the debut is better then Bourne anyways. Sami Zayn, Tyler Breeze, Kevin Owens, Adam Cole, and Evan Bourne is a crazy list of people to end your show with. Good finish and it was a good finish to a nice episode of NXT.

NXT! NXT! NXT! Big upset to open the show. I would love to see Bayley be the one to dethrone Sasha Banks. In all honesty though, she's the only one I'll accept. I'll stop replying. Knowing the origins of PMA makes me an instant fan. <3. I read "brand's newest" as "brand newest" and was going to scold you. Glad to see them pick up the victory. This tag team division is heating up. I dig that you've kept Brad Maddox around. Eww, Alex Riley. Baron Corbin killing Bo Dallas again is fine. Hopefully Bo moves to the main roster now. I like the return of Evan Bourne to NXT. He was one of the first people I remember you pushing. It's been so long. After watching Bram in TNA, and seeing Kenneth Cameron during the early Ascension days, I gotta admit that I like him. Good to see him go over Riley. Riley sucks. Corey Graves making the save is interesting. Looking forward to more from Enzo Amore and Michael Bennett. That Smackdown graphic tho. Kevin Owens beating Bourne was the obvious choice. I see big things in Owens' future. Tyler Breeze don't know who he messing with. Chaotic ending scene that reminds me of how loaded NXT currently is. Owens, Breeze, Zayn, Cole, Bourne, Balor, Itami, the Addiction, the Wolves, etc. Again, I must commend you on how well you can juggle everyone. Another great episode.

June 28th, 2013
ANTONIO CESARO & KASSIUS OHNO W/ PAUL HEYMAN DEF. THE USOS, PRIME TIME PLAYERS & LOS MATADORES W/ EL TORITO IN A NUMBER ONE CONTENDERS FATAL FOUR WAY MATCH: Tonight's edition of Friday Night SmackDown immediately kicked off with action as four of the WWE's top teams competed for a shot at the WWE Tag Team Championships, currently held by The Real Americans, Jack Swagger and Shelton Benjamin. With Los Matadores and Prime Time Players on the outside, Jimmy and Jey Uso both climbed onto separate top turnbuckles and flew into the air with splashes. Jimmy got to his feet, shouting "Uce!" as the WWE Universe responded with, "Oh!" He slid into the ring, only to be met with a Swiss Death Uppercut from Antonio Cesaro. Jey tried to intervene, but Kassius Ohno delivered a Roaring Elbow that sent him crashing to the floor off of the ring apron. Cesaro and Ohno would then plant Jimmy Uso with the Crown of Thorns, Cesaro getting the cover for the win. While the WWE Universe was less-than-pleased with the outcome of the match, Paul Heyman was beaming with joy as he stepped into the ring, raising the arms of his two clients that are now the number one contenders for the WWE Tag Team Championships. Ohno, Cesaro and Heyman continued their celebration as Jack Swagger, Shelton Benjamin and Zeb Colter made their way out to the stage. Both trios stared down each other, Cesaro and Ohno motioning for the titles that they will have the chance to seize at Payback.
At this time, the entrance music of Triple H hit to a resounding amount of boos from the audience in Columbia, South Carolina. Hunter made his way down to the ring in the worst of moods after what transpired at the conclusion of RAW this past Monday. 'The Game' took a microphone and said that people believe that he's been in hiding ever since the incident a number of weeks back where he delivered a Pedigree to Paige. "Here's the thing. I was never in 'hiding.' I've smashed a plethora of people over the heads with sledgehammers. I stabbed my best friend in the back. I drugged my wife and married her against her will. For nearly two decades, I have been the definition of despicable and people think that me putting my hands on Paige would 'cause me to go into hiding and fear for my safety? If you people must know what I've been up to, I'll give you the truth. I've been meeting privately with a man who I have wanted to join the WWE for years now, AJ Styles. Negotiations were going just fine, but before I could offer him a contract, I needed Styles to prove to me that he was willing to be a team player for The Committee. That's exactly what he did at King of the Ring by making sure that Dean Ambrose did not win back his contract. Speaking of contracts, AJ Styles was finally ready to sign his and I wanted it broadcasted on RAW for the whole world to witness history. What you all got instead was THE single most heinous act in WWE history," said Triple H as the audience popped, following that with chants for Ambrose. "You people cheer this criminal behavior while overlooking everything else. Dean Ambrose could have killed someone. AJ Styles and his family can't stay in their house for the foreseeable future and you all commend Dean Ambrose for that. Makes me sick to my damn stoma-" said Triple H before being interrupted by the entrance music of Vince McMahon! "Oh my!" stated Michael Cole on commentary as the Chairman himself made a surprise appearance to the surprise and dismay of Hunter. The audience went rampant as Mr. McMahon stepped into the ring, confronting his son-in-law. Vince started off by saying that while he understands Hunter's side of the story regarding Dean Ambrose's actions on RAW this past Monday, the 'Lunatic Fringe' had enough reason to retaliate against The Committee. "Dean Ambrose absolutely could have done something other than drive a car into AJ Styles' home, which isn't something I ever believed I would say, but you and The Committee did not need to throw Wade Barrett out of the arena on Monday, or any day for that matter. You did not need to take physical action against Paige and her mother. You didn't need to have Derrick Bateman attack CM Punk during a WWE Tag Team Championship match," Mr. McMahon stated as Hunter stopped the Chairman before he could proceed with the very long list of heinous crimes committed by The Committee. "Is that all that you came here for, Vince? To shoot me and The Committee down for looking out for what's best for business?" Triple H asked. "Actually, no. I'm here because I wanted to address this whole AJ Styles situation. You took it upon yourself to offer Styles, a man who I've never even met before, a WWE contract without once consulting the Board of Directors on your decision. Normally, I would void your call regarding the matter, but who am I to say that AJ Styles might not be what is best for business? That's why I've made a decision of my own. For the first time ever, two non-contracted competitors will step into a WWE ring live on Pay-Per-View..." Vince said, Hunter and the audience having an idea of where he was going. "No.... no," mouthed 'The Game.' "At Payback, we're going to take that contract that you wrote up, hang it above this ring, bring ladders into play and see who can retrieve it. AJ Styles vs. Dean Ambrose!" Vince McMahon said as the roof nearly came off of the arena. The Chairman exited the ring, leaving Triple H enraged. At Payback, Dean Ambrose and AJ Styles will do battle in a Ladder match for a WWE contract! TYSON KIDD DEF. KOFI KINGSTON: Arguably one of the most despised superstars on the current roster, Tyson Kidd returned to in-ring action after not only humiliating his wife, Natalya, on RAW during their vow renewal ceremony, but also challenging her to a match at Payback. Kofi Kingston, who was confirmed by the commentators to be participating in the United States Championship Battle Royal at Payback (more on that later), attempted to deliver Trouble in Paradise towards the finish. However, Kidd was able to grab Kingston's legs, applying the Sharpshooter to add insult to injury to the family that he verbally trashed on RAW, the Harts. Kidd had the hold cinched in as Kingston ultimately submitted. Defying the official's orders following the match, Tyson Kidd kept the Sharpshooter applied for an extended duration of time before finally releasing Kofi Kingston. Kidd celebrated his victory as the WWE Universe showered him with boos. "What's going to happen now? Will Natalya actually accept Tyson Kidd's conditions for divorce and meet him in a one-on-one match at Payback?" asked John Bradshaw Layfield. Michael Cole then stated that while Natalya is not here this evening, she will be present for Monday Night RAW, where we hope to get an answer from her regarding Kidd's challenge for Payback.
At this time, a video package was shown to highlight the events from this past Monday's edition of RAW during Cody Rhodes and Luke Harper's match up. Erick Rowan of The Wyatt Family would get involved in the bout, giving Rhodes the disqualification victory. Following the match, Rowan and Harper would grab Rhodes' wife, Eden, and force her to watch the WWE Champion, Bray Wyatt, deliver a Tombstone to Cody Rhodes onto the steel steps. The 'Prince of Pro Wrestling' was taken to a medical facility, where he is still being kept at this moment. "Even if Cody Rhodes is able to recover in time for Payback, is it wise for him to go through with this match?" Josh Mathews asked as John Bradshaw Layfield said that even if he's not 100% come Payback, Cody Rhodes will be there and go to any lengths necessary to get revenge against Bray Wyatt. "This isn't just a WWE Championship match anymore. When you bring a man's wife into this, it's personal," Bradshaw said. Michael Cole then noted that this coming Monday on RAW, Bray Wyatt will deliver what is being referred to as the 'Tale of Two Lovers.' His account of Cody and Eden's relationship, and an explanation for exactly why he has targeted them in this fashion. DIVAS CHAMPION AJ LEE DEF. NIKKI BELLA AND BRIE BELLA IN A NON-TITLE TRIPLE THREAT MATCH: To "prepare" for the Triple Threat Divas Championship match at Payback, AJ Lee was forced by The Committee to compete here tonight against Nikki and Brie Bella, The Bella Twins. While both Bellas remained in control for most of the match, AJ was able to pick up momentum later on after delivering a Flying Crossbody to her two opponents. AJ caught Brie with a Shining Wizard that sent her rolling out of the ring. Nikki went for a Clothesline, but the Divas Champion was able to dodge it and trap Nikki in the Black Widow, gaining the quick submission win! A mixed response emerged from the audience as AJ Lee released the Black Widow on Nikki Bella, retrieving the Divas Championship and raising it high in the air. "AJ defeated Nikki and Brie here tonight, but can she do it against Paige and Kaitlyn with the Divas Title on the line?" was the question raised by John Bradshaw Layfield. The Divas Championship exited the ring, turning around and being met with a Spear from Kaitlyn, who came running down the entrance ramp! AJ was laid out as Kaitlyn stood over her, taking the Divas Title and staring at it endlessly. The 'Hybrid-Diva' threw the title onto AJ's motionless body before heading back up the ramp. It was then that the entrance music of Derrick Bateman hit, Mr. Money in the Bank making his way out to the stage along with Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury. Kaitlyn and Bateman stared at one another, the latter saying that Triple H insisted the 'Hybrid-Diva' remain at ringside for his upcoming. J&J Security backed up Bateman's claim, Kaitlyn appearing to be heavily annoyed as she walked back down to the ringside area with Bateman, who meets Wade Barrett next! WADE BARRETT DEF. DERRICK BATEMAN W/ KAITLYN AND J&J SECURITY VIA DISQUALIFICATION: A stellar way to close out the first hour of Friday Night SmackDown as Uprising and Committee members battled it out. Coming off of the biggest singles win of his career over CM Punk on RAW, Derrick Bateman had all of the momentum in the world, but faced just as big of a challenge in the form of Wade Barrett. Bateman attempted to deliver the One Percenter, only for Barrett to counter it into a Backdrop suplex. The Uprising member backed into a corner, gearing up for the Bullhammer Elbow. Kaitlyn, however, stepped onto the ring apron with Bateman's Money in the Bank briefcase, leveling Barrett in the back of the head with it! Barrett crashed to the canvas as he held the back of his cranium, the official calling for the bell. Boos emerged from the WWE Universe Derrick Bateman stood to his feet in the ring, assaulting the already-downed Wade Barrett. While Mr. Money in the Bank was not able to defeat Barrett like he did CM Punk this past Monday on RAW, it looked as if he and The Committee would be getting the last laugh against The Uprising. Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury held Barrett up while Bateman rested against the ropes, watching the attack continue. Kaitlyn intended on striking Barrett one more time with the Money in the Bank briefcase, but before she could do so, Paige hit the ring! The crowd came unglued for the 'Anti-Diva,' who took Kaitlyn down to the mat and began unloading with strikes. Bateman grabbed his briefcase and exited the ring, ordering Noble and Mercury to take care of the situation. When Mercury got a hold of Paige by her hair, she responded with a kick below the belt! Almost immediately after, Wade Barrett stood to his feet and drilled Noble with the Bullhammer Elbow! Paige would then notice Kaitlyn still in the ring on her knees, hitting the 'Hybird-Diva' with a Superkick. The kick must have caught Kaitlyn directly on the button as she rolled out of the ring, not moving at all. Bateman quickly grabbed Kaitlyn, assisting her up the entrance ramp with one arm while holding the Money in the Bank briefcase in the other. Paige and Wade Barrett stood tall in the ring, the two Uprising members not allowing The Committee to get the upper hand yet again.
In the backstage area, Derrick Bateman was shown assisting Kaitlyn to the trainer's room after the two were unable to escape the wrath of Wade Barrett and Paige completely unscathed. The two, however, were met by the Chairman of World Wrestling Entertainment, Vince McMahon. Bateman greeted McMahon, but was not in any mood to talk while Kaitlyn was in need of medical attention. "This will only take a few seconds," said McMahon, Bateman unable to deny the orders of his true boss. "Based on what I just saw occur in that ring, I would say that Wade Barrett and Paige want nothing more right now than to get their hands on the two of you. I can't blame them, which is why I've decided that this coming Monday on RAW, this whole Uprising and Committee war will become one step closer to ending. In one corner, we'll have Derrick Bateman and Kaitlyn, and in the other, Wade Barrett and Paige in a Mixed Tag Team match," Vince McMahon said. "Great. Now if you'll excuse us," Bateman said as he tried to proceed to the trainer's room, but there was just one part of McMahon's announcement that he failed to mention. ".... No Disqualifications," he added, causing Bateman to freeze in place and drop Kaitlyn from his arm. This Monday on RAW, Bateman, Kaitlyn, Barrett and Paige will be turned loose in a No Disqualifications Mixed Tag Team match!
"Feed me!" blared over the PA system as the entrance music of Ryback hit. 'The Big Guy' made his way out to a negative response from the WWE Universe, though Ryback didn't seem to care one bit, evident by his constant laughter. Once in the ring, Ryback took a microphone and said that people have been asking him nonstop over the past few weeks why he turned his back on Sheamus. "I could go on and on about why I dropped Sheamus like a bad habit, but I understand that stupid people need stupid explanations, so I'll try this make this quick and simple," said Ryback, only garnering more heat from the audience in Columbia. "The WWE Universe speaks about The Committee as if they're the worst thing to ever happen to the company. You people really forgot about the Maddox Administration? You must have because just a few months, you all were shouting 'Feed me more!' every time I was laying out one of them! I helped get rid of them... but then what? I got left in the dark by not just you people, but the company as well. I was headlining shows and bringing in the big bucks because everyone wants to see 'The Big Guy!' And before I knew it, I wasn't even on WrestleMania XXIX. I got bumped down to the Kickoff Show and had to watch the old-timers like The Rock and The Undertaker get the headlining spots over me! I finally had enough and Sheamus just happened to be the poor 'fella' in my way. At Payback, however, there's going to be a ring full of other chumps in my way in the United States Championship Battle Royal. Make no mistake about it, 'The Big Guy' is going home with the gold because as you all know by now... Ryback rules!" Ryback continued to laugh to himself until the entrance music of Sheamus hit. Out came the 'Celtic Warrior,' who told Ryback that it was rather funny that he came out here to declare himself as the next United States Championship. "Fella, I just found out that I'm going to be in that Battle Royal as well! And at Payback, I plan on not only getting revenge against you, but capturing me second United States Title!" Sheamus said to a great response from the audience. "You winning the Battle Royal at Payback? Please, Sheamus. You can barely win a match nowadays. No way in hell you'd be able to eliminate 'The Big Guy,'" stated Ryback with arrogance as he made his way towards the ropes. Ryback turned back around, attempting to catch Sheamus by surprise. The 'Celtic Warrior' was one step ahead of him, however, blocking Ryback's strike and delivering a few of his own! Sheamus backed Ryback against the ropes, Clotheslining him over and out onto the floor! Ryback was livid as Sheamus stood tall in the ring, sending a huge message to not only 'The Big Guy,' but every other WWE superstar who will be participating in the Battle Royal at Payback for the vacant United States Championship. RUSEV W/ LANA DEF. R-TRUTH: A rematch from King of the Ring two weeks ago, though the result was really no different than before. Rusev ran through R-Truth, not allowing him even the slightest bit of offense. "Rusev... CRUSH!" shouted Lana as the 'Super Athlete' applied the Accolade, R-Truth quickly tapping out. At the command of Lana, Rusev released the Accolade that he had cinched in on R-Truth shortly after the match concluded. The two stood tall as the Russian flag dropped from the ceiling, once again asserting their dominance. "Somewhere right now, Alberto Del Rio is watching this with eagerness for his opportunity at revenge," said John Bradshaw Layfield, reminding the viewers at home that Rusev and Del Rio's issues are far, far from over.
As announced earlier by Mr. McMahon, this Monday's edition of RAW will feature a huge bout as Wade Barrett and Paige take on Derrick Bateman and Kaitlyn on a No Disqualifications Mixed Tag Team match. "This will be Paige's first match in a hardcore environment since Last Diva Standing at Extreme Rules, and considering what we saw there, who knows what in God's name she and Wade Barrett plan on doing to Derrick Bateman and Kaitlyn," John Bradshaw Layfield stated. WWE CHAMPION BRAY WYATT DEF. WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION DANIEL BRYAN IN A NON-TITLE CHAMPION VS. CHAMPION MATCH: The WWE's two top-tier champions concluded in a massive main event here on Friday Night SmackDown. The WWE Universe was thoroughly behind Daniel Bryan, the World Heavyweight Champion using the momentum from the "Yes!" chants to his advantage. Wyatt placed Bryan in position for the Tombstone, only for Bryan to slide off of his shoulder. Bryan delivered numerous forearm shots to the 'Eater of Worlds,' finishing off the sequence with a Running Dropkick with Wyatt against the ropes. Wyatt rolled out of the ring as Bryan attempted to crash onto him with a Suicide Dive. However, Bray Wyatt was able to catch Bryan in mid-air, planting him with Sister Abigail into the barricade! Bryan was out cold as Wyatt slid him into the ring, delivering a Tombstone Piledriver to finally get the victory. Bray Wyatt slowly rose to his feet as he was handed back the WWE Championship after an incredibly hard fought victory over the World Heavyweight Champion, Daniel Bryan. Wyatt left the ring victorious as concern was raised over the condition of Bryan. "He was driven face-first into the barricade on that Sister Abigail. Bray Wyatt dropped him right on his head with the Tombstone. Bryan could be seriously hurt," Josh Mathews said with concern as the official and ringside doctor checked on Bryan in the ring. The World Heavyweight Champion was able to get to his feet with assistance, the WWE Universe giving him a standing ovation for his effort against Bray Wyatt. Suddenly, Bryan's SummerSlam opponent, Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins, hit the ring through the audience and leveled Bryan in the face with the title! "Come on, Seth. Not now!" Michael Cole said as Rollins ordered the official and doctor to get out of the ring. When Bryan began to show movement and get to his feet, Rollins caught him in the side of the head with Avada Kedavara! More officials came down to the ring, trying their best to plead with Rollins to stop. The Intercontinental Champion and 2013 King of the Ring winner, however, was not looking to do so as he tossed Bryan out to ringside, taking apart the announce table. Rollins placed Bryan face down onto the surface of the table before stepping onto it. "My God, Seth is going to crush his skull!" John Bradshaw Layfield said before Rollins delivered the Curb Stomp onto the announce table! Bryan's body crashed to the floor as the officials were finally able to tend to him, a stretcher being brought out. Rollins headed back into the ring, where he retrieved both the Intercontinental and World Heavyweight Championships. Seth Rollins showed tonight that his only agenda isn't to become a double champion at SummerSlam, but to put Daniel Bryan out of commission for good and he very well may have succeeded.

- Cesaro & Ohno, Paul Heyman's clients, becoming the new #1 Contenders for the WWE Tag Team Championships beating Los Matadores, The Usos and The Prime Time Players in a Fatal 4-Way Match to become #1 Contenders, Heyman's guys against Zeb Colter's guys, I love it seeing 2 heel tag teams going at it but at the same time I can see Zeb Colter & The Real Americans gradually turning babyface I mean which tag team is despised more? I would definitely say Heyman's team but to see Colter and Heyman going at it on the mic with each other that is why I am loving this potential match between Cesaro & Ohno and Swagger & Benjamin for the WWE Tag Team Championships which I am sure will happen at WWE Payback and if it does then hey I am all for it
- Triple H he can say that he hasn't been hiding but we all know that he was, because everyone knows that he is a marked man in the WWE and that The Uprising certainly Punk and Barrett both want to get their hands on the COO and I am sure Ambrose he too also wants to get his hands on Triple H but then again so many other people I am sure do but then to see Triple H talk about Ambrose I mean people love Ambrose and why? Because he is not only a lunatic but he is also a damn popular one too, he reminds me a lot of an Attitude Era Stone Cold Steve Austin in a sense but then Triple H talking about AJ Styles only for him to be interrupted by his father-in-law Stephanie's father Vince, The Chairman of the Board is back I am loving this, Vince interrupting his son-in-law Triple H and then making a match for Payback, Ambrose vs Styles in a Ladder Match for a WWE Contract, whoever wins gets a WWE contract but whoever loses winds up with nothing
- Tyson Kidd after he embarrasses his now soon to be ex-wife Natalya, after he publicly humiliated her at their vow renewal ceremony attacks her father Jim The Anvil Neidhart and then asks her for a divorce, it seems Kidd is now one of your most despised heels in this diary and to see him go up against Kofi and beat Kofi with a Sharpshooter, that is just adding insult to injury considering the Sharpshooter is a "Hart Family" move, I just hope Natalya if she's watching this I just hope she doesn't go through with this match at Payback but if she does then I wonder if any of her Hart family relatives will be on hand for this match like her Uncle Bret or any of her other uncles or aunts or cousins for that matter?
- Bray Wyatt/Cody Rhodes their feud their match for WWE Payback with the WWE Championship in the balance has become more than a championship match it has become personal but with Cody Rhodes if he really wants to send a message to Bray Wyatt the perfect way to do that would be for Cody to steal Sister Abigail's rocking chair and destroying it or going to Bray Wyatt's family home in the swamp in the middle of nowhere and burning the house down with fire now that would be making things personal
- WWE Divas Champion AJ Lee beating both Nikki and Brie Bella in a Triple Threat as a tune-up for her title defense at Payback where she has to defend her title not only against Uprising member Paige but against Committee member Kaitlyn, it seems AJ is ready for Payback that she is ready to defend her WWE Divas Championship but let's not forget that AJ she doesn't have the champions advantage in this match because a Triple Threat she doesn't even have to be pinned to lose her title, Kaitlyn could pin Paige or vice versa Paige could pin Kaitlyn and AJ could lose her title in either scenario but then post-match to see Kaitlyn lay out AJ with a Spear, well-played
- Wade Barrett beating Mr. Money in the Bank Derrick Bateman flanked by J & J Security and Kaitlyn all be it by DQ, makes sense but I definitely was not counting on Kaitlyn getting involved much less levelling Barrett right in the head with Bateman's Money in the Bank briefcase but then afterwards seeing J & J take advantage trying to pick up Barrett for Bateman only for Paige to make the save for Barrett, yet again another surprise that I wasn't counting on but it makes sense considering Paige is an Uprising member just like Barrett is so to see her making the save for her teammate I loved it, and seeing Paige side by side with Barrett like this, perfect, and to see Paige hit a low blow on Mercury and then Barrett laying out Mercury with a Bullhammer Elbow to cap it all off was even better but to see Noble and Bateman get out of dodge like that, I figured they would but then to see Paige hit Kaitlyn with a Superkick that got Kaitlyn directly on the button wow what a Superkick, just looked so good
- Vince backstage stopping Committee members Bateman and Kaitlyn and pretty much telling them that they will be in a match against Uprising members Barrett and Paige in a Tag Team Match Mixed Tag Team action all be it under No DQ, this is awesome, Barrett and Paige teaming up for the first time fellow Brits teaming up with each other, I just love it and the fact that they get to get their hands on Bateman and Kaitlyn, it makes it all worth it
- Ryback explaining his heel turn I get why I understand why he would turn heel now all be it that him turning heel probably won't get him anywhere but to see Sheamus interrupt him, perfect sense given that Ryback turned heel on Sheamus in the first place but since they are both in the WWE United States Championship Battle Royal at Payback they have to be considered heavy favorites along with Jericho and The Miz but then who else is a part of that Battle Royal? Sandow, Carter, Big E., I wonder if there will be a 20-man Over the Top Rope Battle Royal? And if there is then I can see more people in the Battle Royal like a returning Big Show, Mark Henry, Fandango, Christian, R-Truth, etc.
- Rusev continuing his undefeated streak even though technically he lost at WrestleMania 29 in your diary against Ryback in a Flag Match but to see Rusev continue his dominance here by beating R-Truth, direct message being sent to Del Rio here as the Russian flag comes down from the ceiling, Rusev vs Del Rio, Russia vs Mexico, which country is more superior? It looks like we will finally find out at WWE Payback that much I can guarantee will happen
- Champion vs Champion main event, WWE Champion Bray Wyatt beating World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan, this match surely didn't disappoint that's for sure and considering how back and forth this match was, Bray Wyatt pretty much just proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is not only the more superior champion but that he is the most superior champion in the WWE and that no one no one can stop him not even Daniel Bryan and what makes Cody think he stands a chance against Wyatt? But then afterwards seeing Bryan sustain neck damage like that I mean it is a wonder that Bryan is even okay but then to see Rollins show up post-match to attack Bryan like this after he just went through a gruelling match against Bray Wyatt the WWE Champion, Rollins lays out Bryan not only with Avada Kedavra but lays him out with a Curb Stomp right on the announce table, I wonder if because of this if Bryan will even make it to SummerSlam as the World Heavyweight Champion? But then to see Rollins the 2013 King of the Ring winner the WWE Intercontinental Champion holding both his title and the World Heavyweight Championship holding two titles Rollins could he do the unthinkable and actually become a double champion? It looks like he very well could especially after that heinous attack Rollins may have just put Bryan on the shelf

GET READY FOR THE SMACKDOWN! Cesaro and Ohon becoming number one contenders for the Tag Team championships was a good way to kick off the show. Should be a good match between the two teams and I hope the Kings of Wrestling walk out as tag champs. Vinnie Mac with some big news! AJ Styles vs Dean Ambrose in a ladder war match should be really interesting. It should be brutal. Tyson Kidd may be one of your biggest heels. He's such a douche and I really like it. The story between him and Nattie is really interesting. Bray Wyatt's Tale of Two Lovers? That sounds interesting and just a bit creepy. I feel like I'm going to enjoy every second of it, though. That's a really good graphic, by the way. Kaitlyn vs AJ is an interesting feud with the inclusion of Paige. I kind of want to see Kaitlyn and AJ face off alone though. Derrick Bateman could be the future star of this diary. I watched his match against Rockstar Spud (who you should bring in) and Bateman just screams star. I hope you continue to push him well. LANA <3. Good squash win for Rusev. No Disqualifications mixed tag for RAW? I'm game. I really do enjoy how you've made Smackdown feel equal to RAW. A massive main event with the right guy going over. The Seth Rollins vs Daniel Bryan feud is shaping up nicely. Overall, a really awesome edition of Smackdown.

This Payback card is looking great so I wonder if the World Heavyweight Championship ends up being defended at Payback with Bryan defending his title? Or will Bryan even have a match at Payback? Or will Rollins have to defend his WWE Intercontinental Championship at WWE Payback?

Oh look. I'm replying to you again because I love you. The tag team division has definitely stepped up lately and having the Kings of Wrestling earn the number one contendership is intriguing to say the least. Heel/Heel at the PPV? I'm not sure on that, though I feel like the Real American thing can work very well as faces. Just give me Zeb vs. Heyman on the mic. Oh snap. Vince McMahon appearing makes Smackdown seem like a big f'n deal. Dean Ambrose vs. AJ Styles for a contract is a phenomenal idea. Not only should the match deliver, but I can honestly say that I have ZERO clue on who is going to win because I can't see you not having Ambrose around and I can't see you bringing in AJ for just one match. A win for Tyson Kidd works and I'm interested in seeing if Nattie accepts. I cannot wait to see what you have in store with the Bray Wyatt/Cody Rhodes/Eden stuff. At first I was wondering why AJ Lee had a non-title Triple Threat against the Bella Twins but the Committee forcing her into it made sense. Kaitlyn staying at ringside was something that I knew would play into the next match. Glad it didn't have a clean finish as both Wade Barrett and Derrick Batemen have been well handled by you. Paige getting involved was great. THE COMMONWEALTH! Only you have booked a mixed tag match that is major enough to headline a Raw. Kudos. I am all for the Ryback/Sheamus feud and I think they are two favorites in the United States Title battle royal. Rusev crush is fine. Needs more Alberto Del Rio though. Massive main event and huge win for Bray. Unlike the WWE, you've gone ALL IN on his push. The post match attack was perfect. I love that Seth/Bryan is being built up as a huge deal. It's to the point where I can actually see Seth as a double champion. Great episode.
