- Cero Miedo I mean his debut in NXT has been heavily anticipated I mean especially with the vignettes and everything and that is why if he shows up it will most likely be at the next NXT PPV but who will his first feud be against that is the question now isn't it?
- NXT Champion Kevin Owens beating Tye Dillinger I mean Kevin Owens it is like ever since he has become NXT Champion he has become more and more ruthless more and more better each and every match he is in but the question is is who will become the next #1 Contender for Owens' NXT Championship?
- Solomon Crowe beating Simon Gotch, I mean this tag team rivalry between The Vaudevillains and PMA is definitely heating up so much so that it begs the question of which one of them will set their sights on the NXT Tag Team Championships? Because I am sure both teams have specific goals in mind to become #1 Contenders for the NXT Tag Team Championship
- Bayley showing up, I wonder if the NXT Women's Champion Sasha Banks will show up? But I wonder when Charlotte, Nature Boy Ric Flair's daughter when she will debut in NXT? Charlotte I just figured that she would have debuted by now but that being said as far as Bayley goes I wonder if she will finally get her 1 on 1 shot fairly this time? Or will Sasha just try to get herself DQed or counted out again just so she doesn't lose her title?
- Bennett & Masters beating Fulton & Dawkins, I mean here we have another team who is not only looking impressive but another team that could become future NXT Tag Team Champions that is the longer they stay together as a team but also the more they win matches as a team
- And Tyler Breeze beating Jason Jordan to advance in the tournament now this I definitely was not expecting and why? I was expecting Jordan to come out with the win because he has not only been so impressive as of late but also because really Breeze he I guess has been on somewhat of a slump but at the same time Breeze is a former NXT Champion so putting him back in the title picture could prove beneficial
- Dean Ambrose beating Kofi Kingston in a Manifest Destiny tournament match to earn 2 points in the tournament winning his first Manifest Destiny match now Ambrose I fully expected him to beat Kofi here and why? Ambrose has not only more going for him but also Ambrose he more or less has been on a roll but also Ambrose he has never been WWE Champion at least not yet so he definitely has to be a favorite in this tournament but that doesn't mean that Kofi can't be even though he lost but still this was a great opening match
- Sofia Cortez explaining her attack on AJ Lee the WWE Divas Champion, now after listening to her reasoning I can see why she attacked AJ Lee because of the fact that she doesn't want her title match on anyone's time except her own and Sofia if she is going to be champion she wants to do it on a bigger stage on a PPV stage I get that totally but at the same time Sofia Cortez she is going up against AJ Lee who is probably one of the greatest WWE Divas Champions of all time a classic case of the present going up against the future but Sofia now that she is no longer in Kaitlyn's shadow she can go out on her own
- Natalya has been on a roll ever since she has returned I mean here she wins another match against the other half of the Bella Twins beating Brie all be it by DQ but still Natalya with her winning matches but also having a new protege in Alexa Bliss I mean it is only a matter of time before Natalya sets her sights on becoming WWE Divas Champion again especially now that she no longer has to deal with that ex husband of hers, Tyson Kidd but I mean Natalya and Bliss seeing them both laying post-match by The Bella Twins it makes me wonder if this somehow will turn into a rivalry?
- WWE Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion Rollins beating Neville in a Manifest Destiny tournament match earning 2 points, now if anyone is a favorite in this tournament it has to be Seth Rollins I mean after the year he's had this being his debut year and him making an immediate impact becoming WWE Intercontinental Champion then going on to win the 2013 King of the Ring tournament and then becoming #1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Championship and then beating then World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan to unify the WWE Intercontinental Championship and the World Heavyweight Championship I mean Rollins he definitely is in the running to not only be Breakout Star of the Year for the Slammy Awards but also in the running to become 2013 Superstar of the Year and if anyone can win this tournament it is probably Rollins I mean he has gotten off to a great start so far but Neville he held his own here all be it in a losing effort but still I think Neville can impress still in this tournament
- WWE Tag Team Champions The Alpha Wolves (Eddie Edwards & Davey Richards) beating Mahal and Slater, I mean ever since becoming WWE Tag Team Champions The Wolves have more or less impressed ever since winning the titles at WWE/NXT Unison beating Cesaro & Ohno, Wrestling Royalty and The Addiction making that transition from NXT over to the main roster I mean I would say they are more or less growing now into their own as a tag team here on the main roster especially now and after this match it begs the question of who will face them for those titles?
- R-Truth beating Ryback I mean how much of a losing streak has Ryback had? I mean how many matches has he lost? I don't even think I can recall the last time Ryback has even won a match, I mean Ryback he used to be so dominant he was a monster a machine he was virtually unstoppable winning matches left and right but it is like ever since he turned heel I mean that definitely has to be and had to be his downfall think about it but Bo Dallas showing up I mean perhaps this could be the start of Ryback turning babyface I mean perhaps if he does that then Ryback can become dominant again
- CM Punk beating WWE United States Champion Tyson Kidd in a Manifest Destiny tournament match in the main event of Smackdown, now this was a great match definitely a great match because not only did Kidd hold his own against Punk but also he could have beaten Punk too but Punk proving to be too much for Kidd and honestly if anyone is also a favorite in this tournament it is also Punk but seeing Rollins show up post-match or during the match that is to scout Punk, I mean it is inevitable that their rivalry continues and to see it continue at Hell in a Cell in a Manifest Destiny match I mean that is a match I definitely cannot wait for
- Roman Reigns winning his 2nd Manifest Destiny match in a row, Roman beating Kofi I mean Roman he has been on a tear in this tournament he's 2-0 already after 2 matches, 4 points on top of the leaderboard I mean Roman Reigns he is definitely a darkhorse in this tournament I mean he would have to be after 2 matches but if all superstars are watching this tournament then this is the man that everyone needs to be looking out for because Reigns he simply keeps finding ways to win dominating his opponents but it is inevitable that he and Cena will cross paths in this tournament and since they will be at Hell in a Cell I mean something has gotta give
- Manifest Destiny continues on RAW with Neville facing off against Rusev, definitely a match that I know I will be looking forward to as well as WWE Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins taking on Dean Ambrose which I am sure will be the main event and Punk taking on Del Rio which is another match I definitely cannot wait for
- Now the main event on WWE Live, Manifest Destiny match with Cena beating the WWE United States Champion Tyson Kidd now this was definitely a match that I enjoyed not only because of the fact that Kidd he held his own against Cena but again he pulled out another magnificent performance all be it in a loss but still it took not 1 but 2 AAs to put Kidd away I mean I would have thought that after the first he would have been done but Cena no doubt he was thinking about Adam Cole here especially after Adam Cole turned on him but you can bet that Cole he was watching this match

INTERCONTINENTAL HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION SETH ROLLINS DEF. DEAN AMBROSE IN A MANIFEST DESTINY MATCH via Curb Stomp. A key match in the Manifest Destiny tournament as a rematch of the King of the Ring Finals from June took place. After Dean Ambrose rebounded off of the ropes for a Jawbreaker Lariat, Seth Rollins caught him with a huge Superkick. With Ambrose on the canvas, Rollins capitalized with the Curb Stomp to get the win. "Not only is Seth Rollins 3-0 against Dean Ambrose in his career, but he is now 2-0 in Manifest Destiny," John Bradshaw Layfield said, reminding the viewers that Ambrose has never defeated Rollins.
At this time, the entrance music of John Cena hit as the 2-0 Manifest Destiny participant made his way down to the ring, not in a pleasant mood despite his perfect record in the tournament. Cena took a microphone and stated that last week, he wanted to kick off the Season Premiere of Monday Night RAW the right way. "Adam Cole and I stepped into this ring and we set the standard for Manifest Destiny matches. I had all the respect in the world for Adam right up to when that bell rang and my hand was raised triumphantly. Adam Cole, the entire world and I have waited long enough for any sort of explanation from you on why you decided to lay me out in this ring. Get out here now so we can finish this!" said the fired up Cena. After a few seconds of silence, Adam Cole's entrance theme hit as he stepped out onto the stage, the audience giving him a mixed response. "You've had one week to figure out why I attacked you, John, and to no one's surprise, you're still clueless. How was what I did any different than what a young, brash John Cena would do? Because you were once the new guy in town just like I am right now. There was once a time where the goody two-shoes known as John Cena was an arrogant, cocky, self-absorbed egomaniac who was always looking to take the easy way out. Not that I don't still see you as all of that, but you get my point. The reason you were all of those things was because you wanted to be taken seriously. You wanted to make a name for yourself. You weren't going to be satisfied with just being a second-rate superstar. And look where all of that got you. I can't go anywhere without hearing your name or seeing your likeness on a poster, action figure, video game, you name it. If it's marketable, John Cena's face is going on it. I want everything you have right now and Manifest Destiny is my ticket there. After I took you to hell and back last week, I could see your true colors when you shook my hand. Your mouth said, "That was a hell of a fight. Keep your chin up," but the look on your face told a different story. It said, "Hey, kid. You're just not good enough to hang with me. Better luck next time." I know that's what you think of me, John. You and everyone else don't believe that I can be a top star in the WWE. I mean, I was only the hottest prospect on the independent scene since Seth Rollins, Daniel Bryan and CM Punk! I was only the greatest NXT Champion of all-time! Out of EVERYONE in the talent pool down in Orlando, the WWE picked ME for Manifest Destiny! Not Sami Zayn! Not Tyler Breeze! Not Kevin Owens! Me, Adam Cole! Does that not tell you that I'm the guy you should be concerned with taking your spot?! I'm twenty-four years old and I'm already better than you've ever been, John. I will not allow you to underestimate my abilities. Your successor is right here and you're going to find that out the hard way because when everything is coming up Adam Cole, everything will be crashing down onto John Cena." Cena fired back at Cole, telling him that there's one key component to becoming a success that he's forgetting about. "Respect. In order to be a step above the competition, you need to have respect for everyone who has ever come before you in this ring. You need to have respect for the men and women who put the ring together. Respect for all of the people who are sitting in this arena today because it is with their support that you are able to do what you love week in and week out! You have no respect for anyone or anything, Adam. And sooner than later, someone is going to beat that respect into you and dammit, I want to be the one to do it," Cena said before removing his shirt, challenging Cole to step into the ring with him. "You want to face me again, John? Fine," Cole said, the audience popping until he revealed the true meaning of his words. "We can have a rematch as long as you can do your part and meet me in the Finals of Manifest Destiny. But until then, just remember that I'm not the only guy you need to worry about," said Cole vaguely. His statement soon became apparent when Cena turned around and was drilled out of nowhere with a Spear from Roman Reigns! The 'One Man Army' laid Cena out in the center of the ring, Adam Cole laughing to himself. Reigns would then take a microphone, telling Cena that Cole was right about one thing. "He's not the only person you should worry about. In three weeks at Hell in a Cell, I get my own revenge and knock your ass right out of Manifest Destiny. As for you, Cole, you too need to worry about Roman Reigns. We meet this Friday on SmackDown and if I just did this to John Cena, a guy I'm not wrestling, imagine what I'll do to you in this ring if it means coming one step closer to the WWE Championship." Reigns dropped the microphone while standing tall over Cena, Adam Cole pretending to be shaken by Reigns' words.
BIG E LANGSTON DEF. DAMIEN SANDOW via the Big Ending. Once apart of The Miz's Awesome Entourage, Big E Langston and Damien Sandow found themselves in one-on-one action against each other after the 'Awesome One' fired both before leaving to film yet another motion picture. Big E Langston picked up the win following the Big Ending, gaining himself the momentum that was much needed for the man who was once viewed as a top prospect of NXT.
The entrance music of Stephanie McMahon hit as one of the principal owners of World Wrestling Entertainment made her way down to the ring, the audience giving her a less-than-warm reaction. During Stephanie's entrance, a graphic was shown for the match that the world of professional wrestling never believed it would see. Paige versus Stephanie inside of Hell in a Cell in three weeks. After taking a microphone from ringside, she stated that no one will ever understand the turmoil that she and her family have faced over the past number of weeks. "My own father, Vince McMahon, refused to do anything about Hell in a Cell other than leave the fate of the match in the hands of Paige. Last week, my husband, Triple H, attempted to call the match off, but Paige was persistent. She wants nothing more than for this match to take place. That's why I am left with no other choice but to try to reason with Paige myself. So please..... come on out to this ring right now and let's try to be two grown, reasonable women," Stephanie. "Is she out of her mind?! Calling out Paige?!" John Bradshaw Layfield commented. The entrance music of Paige never sounded, but the 'Anti-Diva' did appear on the titantron, live via satellite from her Tampa home. "You got one thing right, Stephanie. I want nothing more than for our Hell in a Cell match to happen, and guess what? It will happen. Under no circumstances will I ever call it off. You want to talk about how much turmoil you've faced over the past few weeks? What about the turmoil that I've faced over the past few months thanks to you?! If I were there in the arena tonight, I wouldn't be waiting until Hell in a Cell. I would walk right down to that ring and with every bit of hatred inside of me, I -" Paige declared before being interrupted by Stephanie. "But you're not here tonight, so you can't put your hands on me. What you can do, though, is just listen to me and hopefully, we can settle this with our words," Stephanie said. "Again, you're right about one thing. I'm not there tonight..... but I know someone who is," said Paige. Stephanie was left confused until a few seconds later, she was attacked by Paige's mother, Saraya! Saraya, who had her head smashed with a steel chair four months ago by Stephanie, took down the 'Billion Dollar Princess' and unloaded with strikes! Stephanie was able to roll out of the ring, but Saraya charged at her, sending her into the barricade! Sarya continued her assault until several officials arrived to restrain her. They were able to do so, keeping Saraya away while Stephanie was assisted to the backstage area. While Paige was not here tonight to get revenge, Saraya was and the battle between the McMahons and Paige's family reaches new heights! ADRIAN NEVILLE DEF. RUSEV W/ LANA IN A MANIFEST DESTINY MATCH via the Red Arrow to the back of Rusev. A David vs. Goliath match up between two of the brightest newcomers to the main roster in 2013. When Rusev attempted to apply the Accolade, Adrian Neville managed to slide out from underneath him. Neville the ran the ropes and launched himself at Rusev with a forearm, only to be caught and placed in position for a Gorilla Press. Neville, however, managed to counter it into a DDT, spiking Rusev on the top of his head! Neville quickly climbed to the top rope with the audience cheering him on, delivering the Red Arrow! Knowing that it would take more than that to put the 'Bulgarian Brute' away, Neville climbed back to the top rope, waiting patiently. Rusev was on his hands and knees when Neville flew off with the Red Arrow onto his back! Neville used every bit of strength he had to turn Rusev over onto his back, covering him for the win! "Adrian Neville did it! Adrian Neville has pinned Rusev!" Michael Cole shouted as the audience members rejoiced. Lana was shown at ringside with her hands on her head, appearing to be on the verge of tears. Neville scores the massive upset over Rusev, improving to 1-1 while the 'Bulgarian Brute' is now 0-2 in Manifest Destiny. SOFIA CORTEZ DEF. NATALYA W/ ALEXA BLISS via a Spinning Heel Kick. With her challenge to AJ Lee for a Divas Title match at Hell in a Cell still unanswered, Sofia Cortez unleased every bit of rage she had against Natalya, nearly kicking her head off with a Spinning Heel Kick. Afterwards, Sofia attempted to injure Natalya's arm the same way she did to AJ Lee last week. Before Sofia could do any real damage with the Armbar, Alexa Bliss slid into the ring to intervene. Unfortunately for Alexa, she was quickly pushed away by Sofia, also receiving a Spinning Heel Kick. Sofia exited the ring, looking directly at the camera and saying, "I'm not going to wait much longer, AJ. If you don't answer my challenge, I'll find you and beat an answer out of you." CM PUNK DEF. ALBERTO DEL RIO IN A MANIFEST DESTINY MATCH via the Go To Sleep. A re-ignited rivalry here between CM Punk and Alberto Del Rio in Manifest Destiny. Tons of nearfalls on the part of both superstars, including a German Suplex off of the top rope from Del Rio to Punk. Dodging one of Del Rio's Enziguris, Punk took the 'Mexican Aristocrat' down to the canvas, looking for the Anaconda Vice. Del Rio was able to slide out to the ring apron, catching Punk with a kick to the side of the head over the top rope. Del Rio climbed onto the top rope, coming down with a Hammer Fist, but was instead caught with a Dropkick! Punk quickly got up to his feet, hoisting Del Rio onto his shoulders for the Go To Sleep and the victory! CM Punk celebrated his big win before being turned around by Del Rio, the two staring off. Ultimately, Del Rio would extend his hand out, the 'Best in the World' accepting the mutual show of respect.
Footage from earlier in the day was shown of Ryback working out in a gym, only to be approached by Bo Rotundo. Bo pulled Ryback's earphones out, asking him if he had a second to talk. "..... Give me one reason why I shouldn't throw one of these plates at your head for interrupting me," Ryback threatened Bo. "My sincerest apologies, 'Big Guy.' I just wanted to ask if you've given any thought to what I said last week. Because I know that you have what it takes to be a winner. All you have to do.... is BO-LIEVE!" he shouted in the gym, bystanders staring awkwardly at the two. Ryback tried to ignore Bo and resume his workout, but the 'Inspirational Superstar' was persistent in his proposal. "We would make a great tag team. Think about it. Ryback and Bo Rotundo! We could be 'Ry-Bo!'" said the enthusiastic Bo. "....... Ry-Bo?" asked Ryback, who was beyond aggrivated with Bo at that point. Ryback put his earphones back on and resumed his workout, Bo finally walking away, but not before yelling out, "Think about it, 'Big Guy!' You know where to find me!" ANTONIO CESARO & KASSIUS OHNO W/ PAUL HEYMAN DEF. WRESTLING ROYALTY IN A NUMBER ONE CONTENDERS MATCH via the Crown of Thorns to Ted DiBiase. With an opportunity at the Alpha Wolves' WWE Tag Team Championships on the line in this Night of Champions rematch, Kassius Ohno and Antonio Cesaro managed to seize the opportunity by putting Ted DiBiase away for the victory. Ohno and Cesaro hold onto their future rematch against Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards, but John Bradshaw Layfield brought up an interesting point afterwards. Has Wrestling Royalty's time as the greatest tag team in the world come and gone. After a historic 377 day reign as the WWE Tag Team Champions, can they ever reclaim their throne?
Prior to the start of the main event, the fans in attendance and watching around the world were treated to a surprise in the form of Dolph Ziggler. Ziggler, who was sidelined a month ago with an ankle injury, slowly made his way down to the ring, taking a microphone as the crowd welcomed him back with open arms. The 'Show Off' addressed his injury for the first time publicly, stating that it's never fun to have to spend time away from the ring that has given him the opportunities of a lifetime. "Even more so, it sucks that this injury came just six days before I was set to compete in the Elimination Chamber for the WWE Championship. Manifest Destiny would have never even had the chance to feature me because had I not been injured, I can guarantee that I would be standing here right now as a two-time WWE Champion. But, that's obviously not the case. The good news in all of this is that my return to the ring isn't that far off. Maybe it's in a month. Maybe two. I can't say for sure yet. What I will say, though, is that when I return, it won't matter than I'm not in Manifest Destiny. I'm going to reclaim the WWE Championship and there isn't anything that anyone can do to derail my vision for Dolph Ziggler's future," he said. Suddenly, the entrance music of AJ Styles would sound. Mr. Money in the Bank made his way down to the ring, telling Ziggler that he picked the worst possible time to make his triumphant return. "See, every second you spend out here talking about your championship aspirations, I could be spending proving to Cody Rhodes and the entire world that I am the absolute best wrestler in the industry today. So, as far as I'm concerned, you either get out of my ring or I'll throw your handicapped ass out," Styles threatened. Ziggler started at Styles' Money in the Bank briefcase, telling him that he has a history with the case, too. "It was because of that briefcase that I won the WWE Championship over a year ago. It's as good as gold. Every time the Money in the Bank briefcase has been cashed-in, a new champion is crowned. But, AJ, there's a first for everything. Maybe, just maybe, your destiny is to be the first person to cash-in the briefcase and lose your title match. Or hell, maybe you won't even have that briefcase come Hell in a Cell," Ziggler said before Styles stayed true to his word of throwing the 'Show Off' out if he didn't comply. Styles delivered a briefcase shot to the mid-section of Ziggler before connecting with another one to his back. With Ziggler writhing on the canvas in pain, Styles applied the Calf Killer, his hands wrapped around the injured ankle! Styles kept the hold in until his opponent tonight, WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, came running down to the ring. Styles quickly exited the ring as Rhodes kept him away, allowing officials to tend to the fallen Ziggler. WWE CHAMPION CODY RHODES DEF. AJ STYLES VIA DISQUALIFICATION after Styles delivered a shot to the head of Rhodes with the Money in the Bank briefcase. Once Dolph Ziggler was escorted to the backstage area by the medical staff, the match up between Cody Rhodes and AJ Styles began. Two of the finest athletes on the roster today threw everything they had at one another, Styles even getting his foot on the bottom rope after Cross Rhodes. Mr. Money in the Bank teased the Styles Clash towards the end of the match, but it was countered as Rhodes was looking for the Alabama Slam. Styles grabbed the top rope with both hands, Rhodes throwing him out of the ring. Styles approached the time keeper's area as Rhodes followed him. Styles took the Money in the Bank briefcase, striking Rhodes in the head with it! The official called for the bell, but Styles didn't care as he threw Rhodes back into the ring. Styles placed the briefcase flat on the canvas, taking Rhodes and planting him with the Bloody Sunday DDT onto the briefcase! With Cody Rhodes out, Styles saw the opening that he needed. He grabbed the Money in the Bank briefcase and handed it to the official, choosing to cash it in! "AJ Styles is doing it! We're about to have a WWE Championship match!" Michael Cole shouted on commentary while the official handed the briefcase over to Justin Roberts. Before the official announcement could be made, however, Randy Orton came running down to the ring! Styles immediately took the Money in the Bank briefcase back, trying to attack Orton with it. Orton was able to dodge the briefcase shot, taking Styles down to the floor and unloading with right and left hand strikes! "The bell never rang! AJ Styles still has the briefcase!" John Bradshaw Layfield said, reminding everyone that Styles never cashed-in. Styles was able to push Orton away, taking his briefcase and hurrying through the audience. Orton chased the 'Phenomenal One' around the arena, thwarting his intention on cashing-in and potentially becoming WWE Champion.
With Cody Rhodes beginning to stir to his feet, the signature of The Wyatt Family hit. When the lights came back on, Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan were shown surrounding the WWE Champion. Harper and Rowan began stomping away on Rhodes before holding him for Bray to finish him off. The 'Eater of Worlds' laughed in the face of his Hell in a Cell adversary, grabbing him and delivering Sister Abigail. However, Wyatt was not yet finished. He exited the ring and looked underneath it, bringing out a tank of gasoline! "Oh my God, no!" Michael Cole said as Wyatt slid back into the ring. He removed the cap from the tank, pouring every ounce of gas onto Rhodes! "Somebody has to stop this!" Jerry Lawler inputted, horrified at the sight. Wyatt then took a lighter out of his pocket, holding a flame over the gasoline-drenched body of Cody Rhodes. "Just like that, it can all go up in flames. Your career. Your relationships. Your life. I controll everything that belongs to you, Cody! It is not God who decides your fate! It is I, Bray Wyatt! And I choose to end it all for you inside of a place that reminds me of home. The walls close in on us and I escape, leaving you trapped in your own private hell. DON'T THINK THAT I WON'T DO IT BECAUSE I CAN AND I WILL! HELL IS CALLING YOUR NAME, CODY! HELL IS WHERE IT ALL ENDS! MY ROAD TO THE THRONE GOES THROUGH THE DEPTHS OF THE ABYSS AND IT IS AT MY HAND THAT YOU PERISH! FOLLOW.... THE BUZZARDS!" Wyatt put the flame out before tossing the lighter to the side, sparing Cody Rhodes. However, with the WWE Championship on the line inside Hell in a Cell in three weeks, who is to say that Wyatt won't go this far?

I don't just mean Sims, either.

Seth Rollins he just may have Dean Ambrose's number I mean how many times has he beaten Ambrose all time? Seth Rollins he not only has history with Ambrose because of King of the Ring because of beating him in the final to become King of the Ring but Rollins he ended Ambrose's title reign as WWE Intercontinental Champion before the WWE Intercontinental Championship was unified with the World Heavyweight Championship but fast forward Rollins being the WWE Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion beating Ambrose to go 2-0 in this Manifest Destiny tournament I mean Rollins he is just off to a flying start in this tournament this may be the man who wins it all I mean look at the year Rollins has had, 2013 King of the Ring, WWE Intercontinental Champion, World Heavyweight Champion I mean if he wins Manifest Destiny it wouldn't be that far of a stretch but Rollins so far he's 2-0 but that can always change
Ambrose yes he lost but in a back and forth match which really could have gone either way but Ambrose he's 1-1 in the tournament so he still has time to bounce back
Adam Cole explaining his heel turn it actually makes sense he did what he did to make a name for himself plain and simple I get it but he in my opinion anyway went about it the wrong way especially because making a name for yourself means winning Manifest Destiny that is how you go about making a name for yourself but going after a veteran like Cena I mean I don't necessarily agree with how he went about it but I understand it because Cena he's the face of the company has been ever since 2005 for 8 years Cena has been "The Man" here in WWE and if Cole is going to make an impact who better to target than Cena and for Cena he recognizes that he was just like Cole years ago but the difference between them was their rises to the top Cena rose to the top already and has stayed there while Cole he hasn't risen to the top not yet anyway but that doesn't mean that he can't
Cena walking right into a Spear by Reigns, well Reigns surprising Cena from behind and Cena turning right into the Spear I mean we all know the storied rivalry between Reigns and Cena especially in this diary and considering Cena and Reigns are in Manifest Destiny and so is Adam Cole I mean all of their paths are bound to cross sooner or later
For Cena and Reigns their Manifest Destiny match will happen at Hell in a Cell I can't wait considering their matches at SummerSlam and Night of Champions have been classics so no doubt Reigns vs Cena III at HIAC will no doubt live up to its billing but as for Reigns vs Cole this Friday on Smackdown in a Manifest Destiny match, heel vs heel match I wonder who the crowd will be more behind? Will they be more behind Reigns? Or will they be more behind Cole?
Big E beating Sandow, I mean Big E he has a lot to prove considering he was in The Awesome Entourage but now that he isn't anymore and he is on his own again he is going to have to start winning more matches especially if he wants to prove that he is still a star and can be an even bigger star but Big E I wonder if he will somehow align himself with Kofi and Xavier Woods? Could we be seeing The New Day in the future? Something tells me that we will but as for Sandow well in his case Sandow what has he done lately?
Paige's mother Saraya showing up getting her much long overdue payback against Stephanie, I don't blame Paige's mother for going after Stephanie considering what Stephanie did to Paige's mother months back so Stephanie has had this coming for months now but what a plan by Paige though since she wasn't in the building she sends her mother after Stephanie, what a calculated move I love it because Stephanie definitely didn't see it coming and Saraya she more or less took care of Stephanie too but Stephanie she has Paige to worry about especially at Hell in a Cell when the two of them are going to be locked inside that Hell in A Cell where no one can get in and no one can get out it is just the 2 of them inside that Cell 1 on 1 woman on woman nowhere to run nowhere to hide
Neville with a huge Manifest Destiny win beating Rusev now this match definitely has to be considered a David vs Goliath match but also it should really be considered an upset really considering Rusev's size and well his strength but also Neville yes he didn't have the size or the strength here in this match but he did have his speed and his quickness so it more or less paid off here with him toppling a Giant like Rusev which I still can't even believe but Neville after this win I mean he has more or less bounced back in Manifest Destiny considering his opening loss in this tournament so he's 1-1 whereas Rusev he's now 0-2 to start off this tournament I mean I wonder how Rusev can bounce back if he even can?
Sofia Cortez I mean she's a star on the rise especially in the Divas division especially now that she has finally broken free and out of Kaitlyn's shadow she no longer has to worry about being Kaitlyn's sidekick her underling because now she can finally strike out on her own and now that she has she has more or less proven that she is dangerous all by herself I mean did you see the way she not only beat Natalya but took out Natalya and Natalya's new protege Alexa Bliss all by herself single-handedly I might add? Sofia Cortez with that Armbar I wonder if she will be using that Armbar as her new finishing move since an Armbar is a pretty dangerous submission move especially when it's locked in but that Spinning Heel Kick is another finisher that AJ Lee has to compete with, this is what AJ needs to worry about at Hell in A Cell considering she has to defend her WWE Divas Championship against AJ Lee at Hell in a Cell provided AJ Lee she actually accepts the match and knowing AJ we all know that she will
CM Punk more or less proving why he is still The Best in the World I mean he proves it constantly but in Manifest Destiny he has proven it so far I mean he's 2-0 after 2 tournament matches in Manifest Destiny and with his latest win beating Del Rio I mean this match was so back and forth that really either man could have come out on top that is how exciting this match was but you obviously know the history here between Del Rio and Punk so you know the in-ring chemistry these 2 have but the show of respect after the match I loved it because it adds a nice touch but I am really loving this babyface turn of Del Rio I really am
I wonder if Ryback will take Bo Rotundo's offer? I mean what else does Ryback really have going for him? Ryback has been losing match after match that I can't even recall the last time he even won a match and to think Ryback at one time he used to be a future main event caliber guy in this diary hell he was a main event attraction but now he isn't anymore he has become more or less nothing but a damn joke and it all started when he turned heel in the first place in this diary especially when as a babyface he had everything going for him
I wonder if Wrestling Royalty are really ever going to reclaim their spot as WWE Tag Team Champions? Will DiBiase & Hennig ever get back to the top of the mountain in the tag team division? I mean they were the longest reigning WWE Tag Team Champions in history, 377 days I mean and for them to lose their #1 Contender's match to Paul Heyman's clients Cesaro & Ohno the former WWE Tag Team Champions I wonder where DiBiase & Hennig go from here as a tag team? Do they stay together as a tag team? Or do they go their separate ways into singles careers?
As for Heyman's clients Cesaro & Ohno Kings of Wrestling they still have their date with destiny as far as the WWE Tag Team Championships are concerned considering they lost their titles back at WWE/NXT Unison to the new WWE Tag Team Champions once former NXT Tag Team Champions The Wolves Eddie Edwards & Davey Richards but as for the rematch of course it is going to happen at WWE Hell in a Cell I mean it is inevitable
Ziggler making an unexpected return I mean I wasn't counting on seeing Dolph I mean I don't think anyone was to be honest and seeing him return I mean isn't Ziggler still injured or on injured reserve? Ziggler he was taken out like last month at Night of Champions or before Night of Champions by Rusev his ankle was pretty much destroyed I mean it's a wonder how Ziggler he is even standing right now much less even walking but Ziggler showing up I mean of course he wants to show the fans that he is still here making sure the fans don't forget about him and the fans haven't forgotten about Ziggler at all they have been waiting for him to return
Ziggler being interrupted by Mr. Money in the Bank AJ Styles I mean I definitely didn't expect that either considering Ziggler and Styles they have never ever really met or have crossed paths with one another well they did but peripherally because of the whole Team Uprising/Team Committee thing way back when but seeing Ziggler and Styles in the same ring at the same time I loved every single minute of it I really did
Styles of course trying to get Ziggler out of his ring but Ziggler of course going back and forth with AJ Styles their whole back and forth was actually pretty funny to be honest but Ziggler he was right about one thing AJ Styles might not even have the chance to cash in Money in the Bank because he has a Triple Threat Hell in a Cell Match at Hell in A Cell against Orton and Bateman and Styles doesn't even have to be pinned or made to submit to lose that Money in the Bank briefcase because either Orton could pin or make Bateman submit or vice versa and Styles could lose his briefcase that way whereas Ziggler he's cashed in Money in The Bank in this diary he did it and went on to become WWE Champion he's a former WWE Champion whereas Styles he hasn't even won the big one at least not yet
Ziggler also bringing up a point that Styles even though he is Mr. Money in the Bank he could cash in his briefcase and lose by being the first man in history to do it I mean in this diary it hasn't happened yet but that doesn't mean that it can't and Styles not taking kindly to that attacking Ziggler like that blindsiding him with the Money in the Bank briefcase and then applying The Calf Killer, I think this is the first time we are seeing AJ Styles' submission move The Calf Killer I mean and considering Ziggler's ankle is already injured I wonder if this will be a setback for Ziggler as far as injury recovery is concerned?
Seeing the WWE Champion Cody Rhodes trying to make the save I mean why didn't Rhodes make the save right away as soon as AJ blindsided Dolph with the briefcase?
AJ Styles in the main event getting himself DQed on purpose I mean we all knew he was going to do that I mean it wouldn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out because of course AJ Styles he wanted to take advantage of that DQ and he did by more or less taking out Cody Rhodes with the briefcase shot right to the head and then planting Rhodes right on the Money in the Bank briefcase head first with that Bloody Sunday DDT AJ Styles obviously wanted to cash in and he tried to but a lot of good that it did because Randy Orton stopped the cash in from happening saving Cody Rhodes' title reign I definitely did not expect that either considering Orton's history with Rhodes and then Orton chasing Styles all the way to the back all over the arena I mean where was Derrick Bateman while all of this was happening?
Then as soon as Styles and Orton leave, the lights go out and they come back on and The Wyatt Family are in the building as they surround the WWE Champion Cody Rhodes as Harper & Rowan basically beat the hell out of Rhodes while Wyatt watches and then as soon as they're done he comes back to pick up the scraps hitting Sister Abigail but then getting the gasoline and the lighter I mean what was Wyatt trying to do? Was he actually trying to burn Cody Rhodes alive? I mean there's sick and twisted but then there's just downright evil and Wyatt is evil, he's a demented lunatic but then Wyatt decides to spare Rhodes at the last second making him think about it this was nothing more than mind games but mind games being taken to a whole new level

These Manifest Destiny matches at Hell in A Cell these pairings I love the irony behind all of it and you ask why? Simple because of the underlying rivalries:
WWE Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins vs Punk
Cena vs Reigns III
Dean Ambrose vs Wade Barrett because of their history together in The Uprising when they were going up against Team Committee
Adrian Neville vs Adam Cole battle between the young lions formerly of NXT
But then you also have the Hell in a Cell matches with Cody Rhodes defending his WWE Championship against his bitter rival Bray Wyatt inside Satan's structure
Paige vs Stephanie McMahon inside Hell in A Cell
And then we have the Triple Threat Hell in a Cell Match for the Money in the Bank briefcase with AJ Styles having to defend his briefcase against Randy Orton and Derrick Bateman
But the winner of this tournament gets a main event WWE Championship match at the 2014 Royal Rumble PPV against whoever the WWE Champion is
With Lesnar I hope he returns and when he does Lesnar he targets whoever the WWE Champion is and when he does he takes them to Suplex City
20 more days away until Hell in a Cell

With Sofia Cortez vs AJ for the WWE Divas Championship if AJ is going to be cleared in time for the PPV no doubt Sofia will try to target that arm of AJ's again trying to break it putting her on the shelf

Prior to the start of NXT, footage was shown of an eerie scene before the cameras began rolling for ION Television. With the same ominous music from the latest Cero Miedo vignette playing, the Dia de los Muertos figures from the other vignettes walked through the curtain, bringing the two coffins onto the stage. Both coffins were set down on the side of the stage across from the entrance before the painted figures exited the arena. Whoever Cero Miedo is, or are, their presence is felt in the Full Sail Arena for the first time.
Properly kicking off NXT was the sound of Bayley's entrance music as the Full Sail faithful erupted for their beloved heroine. For the first time since NXT TakeOver: Revision, Bayley made her way down to the ring, the crowd greeting her with chants of, "Welcome back!" The smiling Bayley thanked everyone for the warm welcome, which was much needed after the month that she's had. "The last time I was in Full Sail, I pinned Sasha Banks to become the NXT Women's Champion. I was declared the winner. I had the title in my hands. I was Women's Champion..... But because of a situation that was completely out of my hands, the title is still around the waist of Sasha Banks," Bayley said. After the crowd booed for the mention of the heart-wrenching scenario, chants of, "Sasha's ratchet!" broke out. "Sasha's a lot of things, and unfortunately, champion is one of them. While she was running her mouth and getting ready for the biggest match of her life at Unison, I was sitting at home, forced to listen her every word and not be able to do anything. I'll take full responsibility for my suspension. I should have never placed my hands on an official and for that, I apologize. But I'm not sorry for what I did at Unison to Sasha Banks. Finally having the chance to let out my frustations was one of the most exhilarating feelings of my life. That doesn't make everything better, though. Sasha, you still have what I want: The NXT Women's Championship. And let's not forget that I did beat you at TakeOver: Revision. Your shoulders were down on the mat and I pinned you. The next time that happens, I will become champion. And I know where I want to do it. On December 14th, NXT has its biggest show yet in Houston, Texas. TakeOver: Forever is the night where I want to make a memory that will last, literally, forever. You and me, one more time in front of the entire world. Let's make history." Bayley exited the ring after laying out the challenge to Sasha Banks for one of the biggest matches in NXT history at the brand's biggest show yet, TakeOver: Forever in Houston. All that's left to make it official is for 'The Boss' to accept it.
RICOCHET & UHAA NATION DEF. BLAKE & MURPHY via Gorilla Press from Uhaa Nation to Blake, followed by Ricochet's 630 Senton. After laying out Tyler Breeze at Unison, Ricochet and Uhaa Nation made their official NXT debuts as a team, defeating Blake and Murphy in impressive fashion. The audience welcomed Ricochet and Uhaa to the brand with open arms, though it's almost certain that 'Prince Pretty' isn't thrilled with the newcomers to "his kingdom."
DRAKE YOUNGER W/ SOLOMON CROWE DEF. AIDEN ENGLISH W/ SIMON GOTCH VIA DISQUALIFICATION as a result of Simon Gotch getting involved. Solomon Crowe attempted to intervene on behalf of his tag team partner, but the Vaudevillians managed to beat him down before finishing the assault with Whirling Dervish.
At this time, footage was shown from a WWE.com interview with Jason Jordan, conducted by Michael Cole. "The first thing I want to ask is the same question that's been on the minds of NXT fans around the world ever since the Battle Royal at Unison: Who is Jason Jordan?" Cole asked. "You know, up until these past few weeks, I'm not sure if I even knew who Jason Jordan was. I knew what he was capable of, but time and time again, it just seemed like I wasn't going to get my opportunity to succeed in NXT. I signed with the WWE in 2011 right out Indiana University. I've been here for over two years now. Back to when NXT went by the name 'FCW.' I was there when this brand barely filled up a warehouse. I was there when we had as little as six people in the audience. Now, in 2013, not a single NXT show hasn't been sold out. We're on our way to Houston, Texas to perform in the Toyota Center. I've been here to see all of this, but it wasn't until just recently at Unison that the world saw who I am." Cole then asked Jordan about his performance in the number one contenders Battle Royal that changed not only the course of his career, but possibly his life. "How many people truly gave me a chance in the Battle Royal? I guarantee that when I was placed into the match by NXT officials, it was just to fill up the ring. They looked at people like Tyler Breeze and the eventual winner, Baron Corbin, as the guys who were going to make the biggest impacts. They didn't expect this unknown kid to make it to the final four. Think about this. Had I won that Battle Royal, my very first match at a major event would have been for the WWE Championship against Cody Rhodes, who is arguably the best athlete in this industry right now. Fast forward a couple of days and I'm seemingly back to where I was right before Unison. I lost the first round tournament match to Tyler Breeze and as a result, my hopes of becoming the NXT Champion are gone.... For now." While Cole was preparing to ask his final question, he was interrupted by the man who was introduced at Unison as Chad Gable. Gable pulled up a chair and sat next to Jordan, introducing himself. "You can go, Michael. I want to talk to J.J. about something," Gable said. "J.J.?" Jordan asked with a puzzled expression on his face. "Yeah, so listen. I was sitting in the audience at Unison watching the Battle Royal and out of everyone in that match..." Gable said before Jordan cut him off. "I-I... I don't even know you!" Jordan said to Gable before standing up from his chair, leaving the interview.
FINN BALOR DEF. BARON CORBIN IN A NUMBER ONE CONTENDERS TOURNAMENT QUARTER-FINALS MATCH via Coup de Grâce. The Number One Contenders Tournament continued with potentially its biggest first round match-up. Baron Corbin, who was undefeated prior to being pinned for the first-time ever at Unison, suffered back-to-back losses for the first time in his career as Finn Balor delivered a running Dropkick into a corner, followed by Coup de Grâce for the victory. Balor, who defeated Hideo Itami in the main event of Unison, is on one of the biggest roles in NXT history as he looks ahead to the Semi-Finals of the tournament, where he will take on Tyler Breeze. Next week, the tournament continues when Sami Zayn and Michael Bennett collide!
After the WWE signature intro aired, cameras cut straight to the Nationwide Arena as the sound of a trombone could be heard. This continued for another few seconds before Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods emerged, the latter playing the trombone. The two stepped into the ring as Woods finished his instrumental piece, the audience booing while Kofi shouted for an encore. "Now tell me that wasn't quality music?!" Woods yelled out to the audience members before Kofi commented on SmackDown's usual intro music, "The Phoenix" by Fall Out Boy. "Wait, wait, wait. So, you all mean to tell me that instead of listening to the soothing, beautiful sound of Xavier Woods' trombone, you would rather hear, 'THEN I'LL RAAAAISE YOU LIKE A PHOEEEEEENIIIIIIX!!!" Kofi sang in a purposely screechy tone. "I liked when 2 Chainz burned all of their stuff. That was cool," Woods commented before Kofi said that he has a few things to say about the state of Ohio while he's here. "Let's talk sports for a bit, alright? Let me make this clear to every Bengals fan who may be listening to me right now. Every team gets a fluke win at some point, okay? You beat my Patriots, but don't act like you're going anywhere. And the Browns. The freakin' Browns, man. You guys are 3-2 right now, but let's be real. You're the freakin' Browns! Guarantee that they're losing every single game for the rest of the season!" Kofi said to a monstrous amount of heat from the crowd. "And I know what you people are going to say. 'Oh, but Kofi. You can't talk about winning records when you haven't even won a Manifest Destiny match yet," he stated in a mocking accent. "The key word being yet. That all changes tonight when I beat Tyson Kidd and begin my own winning streak all the way to Finals at Survivor Series!" Kofi yelled out. Woods added, "Grand Theft Auto V has multiple endings, but Manifest Destiny only has one and that's Kofi Kingston going HAM on the competition and becoming WWE Champion at the Royal Rumble!" Kofi and Woods were interrupted by the United States Champion, Tyson Kidd, who said that he won't disagree with some of what they both said. "I do think these people rather dumb, but not because they don't enjoy your music, Xavier. It's because none of them can see how Manifest Destiny is really going to end, which is with me being the first man in history to hold both the United States and WWE Championships at the same time. And that..... is a FACT!" Kidd shouted. "..... Say 'fact' one more time," Woods threatened, which prompted Kidd to get closer to his face and repeat the phrase. When Kidd did so, Woods took his trombone and played a note in the face of Kidd, who responded with, "FACT!" once again. The exchange of Kidd's "FACT!" and Woods' trombone continued until Kofi blindsided Kidd, beginning their match. UNITED STATES CHAMPION TYSON KIDD DEF. KOFI KINGSTON W/ XAVIER WOODS IN A MANIFEST DESTINY MATCH via the Tiger Driver. The United States successfully managed to pick up his first victory in the Manifest Destiny tournament after falling to both CM Punk and John Cena last week. Tyson Kidd improves to 1-2, while Kofi Kingston sits at the bottom of the rankings with a record of 0-3.
At this time, Derrick Bateman made his way down to the ring, debuting "Casual Affair" by Panic! At the Disco as his new entrance music. Once in the ring, Bateman said that it's been some time since the world has been graced with his greatness because the WWE Commissioner, Booker T, is afraid of a combustible situation. "AJ Styles, Randy Orton and I are not allowed to be in the same arena at the same time until that bell rings in just over two weeks and we are locked inside Hell in a Cell like animals. That's why you didn't see me on RAW, because had I been there, I would have been the one to make sure AJ Styles didn't cash-in my Money in the Bank briefcase instead of Randy Orton. Let me make that clear to you people one more time because trust me, this horse will never be beaten to death. AJ Styles stole my Money in the Bank contract. I won that briefcase at WrestleMania and was on my way to becoming the WWE Champion. While AJ was off in minor leagues, I was here busting my ass while rotting away on NXT. Yes, I was rotting away there because at the time, NXT wasn't the promise land that it is today. I was devalued by everybody. Management, fans, everyone in the locker. Nobody was paying attention to me because instead of allowing me to blossom into the megastar that I am, I was forced to compete in ridiculous challenges on a .com show. Think about that. I have been here longer than superstars who have gotten their shots already like Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins. When I signed with the WWE, CM Punk was still trying to make a name for himself! I've been here for years and no one paid attention until I made them look at me! But.... Despite my hard work, AJ Styles was able to waltz right through the doors and be handed a contract that gives him the opportunity to become WWE Champion. All because I was injured and The Committee felt like I was just an interchangeable cog in the machine. Which brings me to one, Randy Orton. I've done the research. I've heard the stories. From the day that Orton stepped into this company, he was given everything that I had to fight for. No one could stop talking about him. People in corporate knew that Orton was going to be a star and they made sure he was. They gave him special treatment. They gave him opportunities to succeed and hats off to him for making it all happen on his end.... But what's the difference between us? Some skull tattoos and his family's last name? I have a better physique than Randy Orton. I'm better in this ring. I'm better on this microphone. If you can believe it, I'm more arrogant than him. Everything he can't do, I can and everything he can do, I can to twenty times better. To put it in simpler terms, I am better than Randy Orton. I'm better than AJ Styles, too. But, for whatever reason, they're just being handed opportunity after opportunity. Randy Orton was handed every single WWE Championship he has to his name. AJ Styles was just handed the Money in the Bank briefcase. I, on the other hand, have worked for everything, but none of you people can appreciate that. THAT'S why I'm the bitter bastard you've all come to know and I don't feel sorry for that one single bit. If you want something in life, you don't wait. You take it. Nobody believes that I can leave Hell in a Cell as Mr. Money in the Bank. I did it once at WrestleMania, and I'll do it again. As always, my name is Derrick Bateman and all of you can go straight to hell."
RYBACK DEF. DARREN YOUNG W/ TITUS O'NEIL via the Shell Shocked. Towards the end of the contest, Bo Rotundo made his way down to ringside, cheering on Ryback, thought 'The Big Guy' clearly didn't need a cheerleader of any sort. Titus O'Neil confronted Bo, inadvertently causing a distraction for Darren Young that allowed Ryback to level him in the back of the head with a Meathook Clothesline! Ryback followed up with Shell Shocked, finally ending his losing streak. Ryback celebrated his win as Bo rolled into the ring, hugging him. Ryback pushed Bo away, telling him to stay out of his life. "Ryback can push Bo Rotundo all he wants, but really, he helped him pick up his first win in what has felt like forever," John Bradshaw Layfield stated, implying that Ryback may need Bo by his side after all.
ROMAN REIGNS DEF. ADAM COLE IN A MANIFEST DESTINY MATCH via the Spear. While both Adam Cole and Roman Reigns have John Cena on their minds, they were forced to focus on each other for the time being. A near fall came as Roman Reigns attempted a Spear, only to run into a Superkick! Adam Cole rolled Reigns up for the two count, frustrating the former NXT Champion. Cole stepped onto the second rope, hoping to finish off the 'One Man Army' with the Panama Sunrise. Reigns, however, was able to step over to the side, Cole landing on his feet before he was struck with a Spear! Reigns covered Cole to get the win, improving his Manifest Destiny record to 3-0. John Bradshaw Layfield reminded everyone that Reigns' leading record could be tied tonight if the 2-0 John Cena manages to defeat Dean Ambrose in the main event.
The entrance music of Paige hit to a thunderous ovation as the 'Anti-Diva' made her way down to the ring along with her mother, Saraya. Paige took a michophone and said that while she wasn't present at RAW this past Monday, someone else was there to get a few shots in on Stephanie McMahon. "As everyone remembers, this is my mum, who had her head bashed in by Stephanie four months ago with a steel chair. Stephanie has done plenty of heinous things to me in the past, but the second that she hospitalized the woman who raised me, that's when I knew for a fact that she was going to pay." Paige handed the microphone over to Saraya, who said that it was never her intention to get involved in her daughter's career. "My family sent our little girl to America to live her dream and make us proud. Has she done all that? You're damn right she has, but for whatever, Stephanie McMahon has made it her agenda to run Paige out of the WWE. Like I said, I was never planning on getting involved, but as a mother, I couldn't let The Committee hurt my daughter both mentally and physically. When Triple H put his hands on her, I was on the first flight to the States to not only be with Paige, but to do anything I could to let the McMahons know that they crossed the line. Stephanie, you got me. I'll admit that. You almost crushed my skull. It was a good shot, but you didn't keep me nor Paige down. And at Hell in a Cell, she's going to give you the worst beating that you could ever imagine." Paige then said that before Hell in a Cell gets here, her mum did have one more thing to say to Stephanie. "Isn't that right?" Paige asked her mother. "I know I'm not signed to the WWE and someone my age probably doesn't belong here, but Stephanie, I'll do whatever is necessary. I'll sign any contracts and documents that you need me to. For one night, just one night, I want to be on the WWE roster so that this Monday on RAW, I can meet you in this ring and gives you a taste of what Paige is going to do to you at Hell in a Cell!" Paige and Saraya left the ring as the commentary team was left puzzled. "Did.... Did Saraya just challenge Stephanie to a match on RAW?!?" Byron Saxton asked, Michael Cole stating that he believes so.
Returning to SmackDown, the sound of Xavier Woods' trombone could be heard once again, only this time in a much more somber tone than at the start of the show. Woods stepped into the ring and said that the world can laugh all they want at Kofi Kingston, but there are still weeks to go in the Manifest Destiny tournament. "Anything can happen between now and Survivor Series, and I can tell you right now what's going to happen. Kofi Kingston is going to make the comeback of the century! Eight straight wins for Kofi! He's going directly to the Finals at Survivor Series and then the WWE Championship match at the Royal Rumble! Bet anything on it!" Woods said as Michael Cole commented that he's not placing that bet. "Tyson Kidd got lucky tonight, but this Saturday on the WWE Network, Adam Cole is going to fall to Kofi just like he fell to Roman Reigns earlier. Aside from Kofi, the whole field for Manifest Destiny is a joke! I guarantee that I could beat anyone from that tournament! As a matter of fact, here's an open challenge to anyone in Manifest Destiny who thinks that they're going to be the one to win it all," Woods said, laying out a challenge to any participant in the tournament.
ALBERTO DEL RIO DEF. XAVIER WOODS via the Cross Armbreaker. It was Alberto Del Rio who accepted Xavier Woods' challenge, putting him away for the submission victory. While Del Rio made his way up the entrance ramp, the entrance music of Dean Ambrose hit to the biggest response of the night. Ohio's own 'Lunatic Fringe' stepped out onto the stage, meeting Del Rio face-to-face. The two of them compete this Sunday on the WWE Network in a Manifest Destiny match, but coming up next, Ambrose has another obstacle in the form of John Cena.
DEAN AMBROSE DEF. JOHN CENA IN A MANIFEST DESTINY MATCH via the Boma Ye. Perhaps the best, most nail-biting match in Manifest Destiny up to this point. After Dean Ambrose was able to kick out of the Attitude Adjustment, John Cena realized that he had to dig deeper in his arsenal to put the 'Lunatic Fringe' away. Cena took Ambrose up to the top rope, looking for the high-risk Attitude Adjustment. Ambrose, however, was able to retaliate with elbow strikes to the side of Cena's head, turning the tables and delivering a DDT off the top rope! Cena was down on the canvas, rising to his knees as Ambrose charged into him with the Boma Ye! "The cover! The hook of the leg! 3! He did it! Dean Ambrose has beaten John Cena!" was the call from Michael Cole as the official made the count. The audience came unglued as Ambrose was declared the winner, handing Cena his first loss in the tournament. Cena would later rise to his feet, meeting Ambrose in the center of the ring. "Flashbacks to Unison when Ambrose laid Cena out," John Bradshaw Layfield noted. With no exchange of words, Cena extended his hand out to Ambrose, who accepted it. Unlike Unison, there was no further altercation between the two men. Cena left the ring, allowing Ambrose to celebrate his huge victory.

- Bayley throws out the challenge but of course Sasha Banks the NXT Women's Champion will probably accept but she will probably only accept under one condition that condition being that if Bayley loses she has to leave NXT for good or if Bayley loses she doesn't ever get any more NXT Women's Championship title shots as long as Sasha Banks is the champion that is where I think that this is heading
- Ricochet and Uhaa Nation as a tag team well I love that they are a tag team at least for now anyway because seeing them as a tag team and seeing them beat an established tag team here in NXT especially one like Blake & Murphy this just goes to show us that Ricochet & Uhaa they can make noise not only in the NXT Tag Team division but also they could be stars here in NXT especially given how they debuted by laying out Tyler Breeze but I wonder if every tag team will now be put on notice more or less by these 2 bursting on to the scene?
- Drake Younger he may have beaten Aiden English by DQ but at the same time this match was bound to end that way especially given that their tag team partners Crowe and Gotch were at ringside I mean either it was going to end in a No Contest or a DQ but either way seeing this end in The Vaudevillains standing tall by beating down both Crowe & Younger I mean it is safe to say The Vaudevillains have the upper hand in this rivalry but for how much longer though?
- After that interview I think it is safe to say that Gable & Jordan's rivalry is or will be taken to the next level especially after that which I am a huge fan of
- Finn Balor moving on to the finals of the NXT Championship #1 Contender's tournament by beating Baron Corbin, now this match definitely surprised me and why? Given the fact that Balor was an underdog but also because of the fact that Corbin well he has been dominant so dominating ever since bursting on to the scene and having his first loss I would have expected him to bounce back but he didn't but instead he loses his 2nd match in a row but Balor he more or less ever since coming on to the scene has been red hot but that being said who will Balor face in the finals? Will he face Sami Zayn? Or Michael Bennett? Either way I can't wait to see the other semi-final but either match-up Balor/Zayn or Balor/Bennett will be classics
- Starting Smackdown off with Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods I mean it was unexpected to say the least but Kofi I mean he is winless in this tournament like he is what 0-2 after 2 matches and he has to face off against Tyson Kidd the WWE United States Champion who is also winless in this tournament if I am not mistaken, 0-2 also and given that both men are heels I wonder if the crowd even knows who to cheer for in this match? But then to see Kidd come out on top beating Kofi to move to 1-2 in this tournament after 3 matches I mean Kidd could use this to build momentum while Kofi is doing himself no favors I mean 3 losses after 3 matches I mean Xavier Woods is not exactly paying dividends here so it makes me wonder if Kofi should just turn him loose?
- Derrick Bateman that tirade I mean after this rant I mean how could you not cheer for him? I mean even though he is a heel a dastardly heel how can you not cheer for him after this CM Punk like rant? I mean AJ Styles and Randy Orton have had everything handed to them while Bateman he has had to work for everything he has ever gotten in life or out of this business and the fact that he was seemingly cast aside by The Committee after he went down with his injury I mean Bateman was basically ignored forgotten about and then he gets fired only to somehow get re-hired especially given how much he hates WWE but Bateman I mean he won Money in the Bank once before at WrestleMania but the question is is can he do it again? I mean Bateman he is not just in any standard Triple Threat Match he is in a Triple Threat Hell in a Cell Match and in Hell in a Cell Bateman he has never been in Satan's structure neither has AJ Styles and the only one who has any experience inside the Devil's playground inside Satan's structure inside Hell in a Cell is Orton so that alone has to make Orton a favorite
- Ryback winning his first match in forever by beating Darren Young of the PTP I mean the only reason why Ryback won this match was in part to Bo Dallas getting involved causing that distraction for Ryback on Ryback's behalf with D-Young getting distracted and Ryback taking advantage but let's be honest Ryback he would have lost the match had Dallas not helped him because Ryback can't win matches on his own before he used to with no problems but now he has to have help I mean it just goes to show you how far Ryback has fallen
- Roman Reigns beating Adam Cole in a Manifest Destiny tournament match Reigns is now 3-0 in this tournament while Adam Cole he is 0-3 or at least I think he is I mean Adam Cole he is a heel but then again so is Roman Reigns and the fact that these 2 were facing off I wonder who the crowd was more behind? Either way this match was back and forth but Reigns coming out on top just goes to show us that Reigns he may be the favorite in this tournament I mean he is on top of that leaderboard all by himself and not to mention Reigns and Cole they have one man in common that being John Cena but you can bet Cena he was watching this match and if he was I am sure he probably was pulling for someone in this match
- Paige bringing her mother Saraya with her to Smackdown and Saraya more or less challenging Stephanie to a match on RAW this Monday, will Stephanie accept? Either way I think if Stephanie accepts Stephanie I am sure has a plan she won't just accept the match right away unless she has an ace up her sleeve I can see this being a trap and Saraya and Paige falling right into it which will leave Saraya a heap again and Paige having to witness her mother getting taken out again that is what I see happening
- Del Rio beating Xavier Woods I mean Del Rio I would not have expected him to answer the challenge of Xavier Woods but seeing Del Rio beat Woods but make him tap out I mean after this I would say more or less that Del Rio is on the right track I mean even though he is in Manifest Destiny but Woods isn't, Woods' buddy Kofi is, Del Rio in a sense just gained momentum even though in this tournament he hasn't exactly started off right but after this win who knows maybe Del Rio's luck will finally change
- Main event of the night sees Ambrose beat Cena in a Manifest Destiny match now this match definitely has to be Match of the Night I mean this match was so back and forth I mean Ambrose not only held his own with Cena but Cena brought out the very best out of Ambrose in this match I mean either man could have won it but in the end Ambrose wins to go to 2-1 while Cena loses to go 2-1 I mean this match to basically end off Smackdown was the right call I loved every minute of it

ADAM COLE DEF. KOFI KINGSTON IN A MANIFEST DESTINY MATCH via the Panama Sunrise. In a battle between two superstars who had yet to score a victory in Manifest Destiny, it was Adam Cole who managed to break out of his losing ways after planting Kofi Kingston onto the top of his head with the Panama Sunrise. Cole stands at 1-2 in the rankings now, twenty-four hours before he meets CM Punk in his fourth tournament match.
ROMAN REIGNS DEF. ADRIAN NEVILLE IN A MANIFEST DESTINY MATCH via the Spear. While Adrian Neville had momentum on his side after upsetting Rusev this past Monday on RAW, it was Roman Reigns' time to shine as the 'One Man Army' put Neville away to keep his undefeated run in Manifest Destiny alive. Reigns is now 4-0, keeping his spot as the top seed.
INTERCONTINENTAL HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION SETH ROLLINS DEF. WADE BARRETT IN A MANIFEST DESTINY MATCH via the Curb Stomp. A former WWE Champion battling the man who is looking to capture his first as a result of winning Manifest Destiny. After Seth Rollins dodged the Bad News Boot, he was able to catch Wade Barrett in the back of the head with a Superkick before rolling him up. Not for a pin attempt, but simply to place Barrett in position for the Curb Stomp. After Rollins connected with the devastating finisher, he was able to get the three count and improve his Manifest Destiny record to 3-0 while Barrett still looks for his first win. While Rollins made his way up the entrance ramp, the theme music of Roman Reigns hit. The 'One Man Army' stepped out onto the stage, coming face-to-face with the Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion. Rollins and Reigns meet one-on-one this Monday night on RAW, meaning that one of their undefeated streaks will be broken. Something has to give in two days, live from St. Louis.

CM PUNK DEF. ADAM COLE IN A MANIFEST DESTINY MATCH via the Anaconda Vice. Not only a key Manifest Destiny match up, but a key match for Adam Cole, who has openly stated before that he views CM Punk as one of his inspirations in professional wrestling. CM Punk had Cole in position for the Go To Sleep, but upon attempting to connect with it, Cole managed to put both of his hands up and block the knee strike. When Cole was on his feet, he delivered a Superkick to Punk, followed by another. Cole wasn't able to complete the trifecta as his foot was caught during the third attempt, Punk grabbing and taking him down to the canvas. The 'Best in the World' locked in the Anaconda Vice, forcing Cole to submit. "The first Manifest Destiny match for CM Punk so far that he hasn't closed out with the Go To Sleep. He found a better opening with the Anaconda Vice and that's what you have to do in this tournament. Take advantage of every opportunity you can," John Bradshaw Layfield said in regard to Punk's strategy. Punk stands at 3-0, tied with the man he meets at Hell in a Cell, Seth Rollins.
UNITED STATES CHAMPION TYSON KIDD DEF. RUSEV W/ LANA IN A MANIFEST DESTINY MATCH via count out. Rusev made chase for Tyson Kidd on the outside when the United States Champion shielded himself with Lana. Kidd threw Lana towards Rusev, who caught her and took a second to make sure she was fine. Kidd caught Rusev by surprise with a kick to his knee cap, grounding the 'Bulgarian Brute.' Rusev soon got to his feet, but Kidd, who was standing on the ring apron, ran towards him with a kick to the face! Rusev fell back onto the floor as Kidd entered the ring, eager for the official's count to reach ten. When Rusev was counted out for good, Kidd quickly took his United States Championship and hurried to the backstage area, taking his 2-2 record and running. As for Rusev, he drops to 0-3. The man who was once undefeated for nearly a year has now lost three Manifest Destiny matches in a row. Not a good sign for the 'Bulgarian Brute' when his next scheduled match in the tournament comes tomorrow night on RAW against John Cena.
DEAN AMBROSE DEF. ALBERTO DEL RIO IN A MANIFEST DESTINY MATCH via the Boma Ye. An incredible finishing sequence to this bout as Alberto Del Rio caught Dean Ambrose with a Superkick, Ambrose rebounding off the ropes with the Jawbreaker Lariat on his mind. Del Rio dodged the lariat, Ambrose's momentum forcing him to continue running towards the ropes. Del Rio attempted to deliver the Backstabber, but Ambrose held onto the ropes. Del Rio crashed back onto the canvas, inadvertently placing himself in position for the Boma Ye. Ambrose connected with the devastating knee strike, covering the 'Mexican Aristocrat' to pick up the victory. Ambrose improves his record to 3-1, making him the highest-ranked competitor who is not undefeated. Del Rio drops to 1-2, which puts him in 7th place along with Adrian Neville. Ambrose now can enjoy a week-long break from the tournament before he meets Roman Reigns next Sunday in Mississippi. Del Rio, however, looks ahead to a three match stretch coming up. Adam Cole tomorrow night on RAW, Wade Barrett on SmackDown, and John Cena on Saturday in his home country of Mexico.
1. Roman Reigns (4-0, 8 Points) 2. Seth Rollins (3-0, 6 Points) 2. CM Punk (3-0, 6 Points) 4. Dean Ambrose (3-1, 6 Points) 5. John Cena (2-1, 4 Points) 6. Tyson Kidd (2-2, 4 Points) 7. Alberto Del Rio (1-2, 2 Points) 7. Adrian Neville (1-2, 2 Points) 9. Adam Cole (1-3, 2 Points) 10. Wade Barrett (0-2, 0 Points) 11. Rusev (0-3, 0 Points) 12. Kofi Kingston (0-4, 0 Points)

Adam Cole goes to 1-2 by beating Kofi Kingston, Kofi now is definitely behind the 8 ball, 0-4, 4 straight losses in this tournament like he is in dead last in the standings of Manifest Destiny and just like in regular sports like NHL, NBA, MLB etc. when you are down especially in a round robin playoff like setting it is pretty hard to come back and win matches especially on back to back schedules but for Cole though he is on a winning start well he wins his first match but he is still kind of behind the 8 ball because he may have a win but he has 2 losses so it should be interesting to see who his next opponent is and whether or not he can go to 2-2
Tyson Kidd the WWE United States Champion goes to 2-2, he is now at .500 in terms of winning percentage because he has 2 wins but 2 losses and who does he beat? None other than Rusev which I would have thought that for sure Rusev would have won this match but Rusev he has been on a downward spiral as of late has been for quite a while now which makes me think that Rusev can't win matches especially if Lana is there because Lana in a sense she did cost him this match because Kidd used her as a distraction which distracted Rusev long enough for Kidd to take advantage and get the win
Roman Reigns is head and shoulders above the rest, 4-0 he beats Neville to go 4-0 he is undefeated in this tournament like Reigns has been on a roll he keeps finding ways to win matches well I can't really say that he is winning his matches decisively and in a dominant fashion so it makes me wonder just if he can go to 5-0 especially since he has to face off against Seth Rollins the WWE Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion in his next tournament match
Seth Rollins the WWE Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion beating Wade Barrett to go to 3-0, I mean Rollins he keeps finding ways to win his matches whether we like it or not he is winning matches not controversially but cleanly I mean it just goes to show us that Rollins just may be a frontrunner for this tournament I mean look at all the things he has won this year but then again he has to face Roman Reigns next in his next tournament match while Barrett he is now 0-2 which means he is behind the 8 ball so I wonder if he can recover?
CM Punk goes to 3-0 by beating Adam Cole, so Cole is now what 1-3 after 4 matches while Punk is now 3-0 after 3 matches well Punk doesn't he have a 4th match coming up soon? Either way Punk continues to prove exactly why he just may in fact be a favorite in this tournament I mean he hasn't exactly lost a match yet whereas Cole after his win against Kofi the night before he loses to Punk now I mean this has got to be a setback because now he's 1-3 so it should be interesting to see who he faces next
And Dean Ambrose he goes to 3-1 by beating Del Rio, I mean how many matches has Del Rio lost now? I mean seriously but anyways Ambrose he continues to pick up momentum he is still near the top of the leaderboard but for Del Rio it is back to the drawing board yet again
I wonder if the WWE Champion Cody Rhodes he is watching this tournament? If he is then I wonder if he will even be WWE Champion come Royal Rumble? Because between now and Royal Rumble that is a pretty long time and Rhodes may not even be champion because Wyatt could very well beat him for that title or The Beast The Conqueror Brock Lesnar he could turn his attention to Cody Rhodes' title and then there's Mr. Money in the Bank either Orton, Styles or Bateman could cash in

Hours before Monday Night RAW is live from St. Louis, Missouri, news broke regarding a partnership between World Wrestling Entertainment and New Japan Pro Wrestling. Fans and journalists alike have speculated that something of this nature would be coming after Kazuchika Okada's involvement at Night of Champions last month. Now that the partnership has been confirmed, exactly what does it entail? According to Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez on a special edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, New Japan's January 4th Tokyo Dome show, Wrestle Kingdom 8, will be broadcasted live on the WWE Network. As far as any WWE involvement in the show goes, the early rumor is that Tyler Breeze will be sent to challenge Kota Ibushi for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship, though nothing is set in stone at this point from either side. On the other end of the spectrum, Kazuchika Okada will compete at NXT TakeOver: Forever on December 14th, presumably against Breeze in an inter-promotional match since that's the feud that was teased at Night of Champions. Other bits of speculation include WWE possibly being represented in the G1 Climax next Summer. Early candidates include Antonio Cesaro, Kassius Ohno, Tyson Kidd and Sheamus. Lastly, and perhaps one of the bigger bits of news, there have been talks about a major NJPW name competing at WrestleMania XXX in Shinsuke Nakamura. Both Nakamura and Okada have been on the WWE's radar for some time now, resulting in the belief that one of the primary reasons for the partnership is to eventually transition the two of them into full-time WWE roster members.
Check back as more news regarding WWE and NJPW's partnership breaks.

A partnership between WWE and New Japan Pro Wrestling I mean this is a partnership that certainly I could have never have foreseen but the fact that you have made it a reality is certainly something but it makes sense because of Okada and his program with Tyler Breeze but also at one time Hideo Itami Paul Heyman Guy now in NXT he was a part of NJPW just like how our current Mr. Money in the Bank AJ Styles was just like how Finn Balor was
But will WWE even be able to get Nakamura though? Now that is the million dollar question now isn't it?
But since RAW is coming from St. Louis this means RAW is in Orton's hometown so it makes me wonder if the hometown hero if he will be in attendance for this RAW? But then again I wonder just what else will happen here on RAW I mean in terms of Manifest Destiny but also Paige/Stephanie
However we are 2 weeks away from the Hell in a Cell PPV so there is always that

I wonder if any superstars will sign Kofi's petition? I doubt it because I am sure people hate Kofi every bit as they do Xavier Woods
