- Paul Heyman the advocate for Lesnar starting off NXT by introducing his other client Hideo Itami and the 2 of them talking about Itami's open challenge and how no one has answered it I mean it only begs the question of why no one has...maybe no one wants to face Hideo Itami because they are either afraid of him or maybe no one has stepped up yet but then cue the NXT GM Dusty Rhodes to interrupt and tell Heyman & Itami that there is someone who has accepted their challenge and it turns out to be the last person who anyone would expect...that beinng Jushin Thunder Liger not only is that unexpected it is definitely shocking because if you wanted to go for shock value you definitely succeeded...if you said dream match then this is definitely it
- O'Reilly beating Burch in his in-ring NXT debut...can you say squash match? This was the epitome of squash I mean O'Reilly didn't even give Burch any offense at all...made Burch tap out in 8 seconds and if Cole was watching that that is what he is going to have to face at NXT TakeOver: Forever...but knowing Adam Cole I am sure he knows what he is up against so he will definitely be ready
- Finn Balor does have his rematch clause for the NXT Tag Team Championships but it looks like he will be cashing in that rematch clause for the NXT Tag Team Championships but how can he do that with no tag team partner? Unless Balor does have a tag team partner and if he does then I wonder who his new tag team partner will be when they do face The Addiction for the NXT Tag Team Championships? Knowing Balor I am sure he wants to surprise the whole WWE Universe so of course he won't say who it is
- Becky Lynch/Tamina Snuka feud in NXT I am definitely feeling that because not only is Tamina a veteran in that Divas locker room she is a 2nd generation diva the daughter of a WWE Hall of Famer but also Tamina is a former WWE Divas Champion but Lynch is the new girl on the block...classic case of old school vs new school
- Bennett & Masters beating Los Matadores...I mean Bennett & Masters they are coming into their own as a tag team here on NXT but the thing is is what have they done lately? I mean they are not in contention for the NXT Tag Team Championships and not to mention neither man has won any singles gold lately and neither man has been called up to the main roster so what exactly have they done to earn any respect at all whatsoever? Yeah they beat a legit tag team in Los Matadores but then again so could any team for that matter so I wonder what Bennett & Masters can really do?
- Sami Zayn in the main event beats Tyler Breeze to become the new #1 Contender for the NXT Championship...I mean all roads were bound to lead to Zayn/Owens so it was inevitable that Zayn would win in this main event winning this match and considering the history Zayn & Owens have with each other former friends now turned bitter rivals I mean all roads were bound to lead to this point but then the NXT Champion post-match shows up and Owens basically leaves Zayn laying by hitting the Powerbomb on the ring apron with Zayn going down in a heap to end the show...I mean it sets the stage for Zayn/Owens for the NXT Championship at NXT Takeover: Forever but will Zayn even be able to compete? If he doesn't what happens to the NXT Championship match at NXT TakeOver: Forever?

November 15th, 2013 -
► INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION CM PUNK & JOHN CENA DEF. THE NEW DAY: Immediately following the signature WWE intro, the entrance music of CM Punk hit as the Intercontinental Champion made his way out to a thunderous ovation from the Manchester audience. Picking up where things left off of on RAW four nights ago, Punk was set to team up with the man he eliminated from Manifest Destiny, John Cena, against the New Day. As Punk was preparing to deliver a Suicide Dive onto the New Day towards the conclusion of the match, both Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods left up the entrance ramp and attempted to get themselves counted out. At that moment, however, the entrance music of Big E hit as he made his way out to the stage. Big E, who the New Day attempted to recruit a few days ago on RAW, walked towards the duo while they unknowingly walked back to ringside. Cena took Kingston out with a Clothesline before Punk grabbed Woods, throwing him into the ring. The Intercontinental Champion delivered the Go To Sleep to Woods, covering him for the victory. Big E made his way to the backstage area, getting back at the New Day for their antics against him on RAW. Punk and Cena raised each other's arms in the ring, showing respect to one another after their classic bout on RAW this past week. While Cena is no longer in the running for a WWE Championship opportunity at the Royal Rumble, Punk is very much still alive. All he has to do is defeat Dean Ambrose next Monday and he advances to the finals against Seth Rollins at Survivor Series.
► DEAN AMBROSE DEF. ADAM COLE IN A MANIFEST DESTINY MATCH: Dean Ambrose's road to the finals of Manifest Destiny could have been derailed tonight with both a loss to Adam Cole here and a Roman Reigns victory coming up soon. Fortunately for 'The Lunatic Fringe,' any chance of being eliminated this evening went up in smoke after a Boma Ye to Cole gave him the victory. Ambrose improves to 8-2 as he looks ahead to his last tournament match this Monday on RAW against CM Punk. Much like Punk, Ambrose needs to do one thing in order to advance to the finals at Survivor Series - win.
► ROMAN REIGNS DEF. RUSEV IN A MANIFEST DESTINY MATCH: This past Monday on RAW, Rusev silenced the critics after finally managing to pick up his first victory thus far in Manifest Destiny. Tonight, not only did the 'Bulgarian Brute' have the chance to keep his momentum rolling, but to also eliminate Roman Reigns in the process. The audience was firmly behind Rusev all the way through, him uncharacteristically taking on the same babyface role that he did on Monday. Rusev attempted to deliver a Fallaway Slam, but Reigns landed on his feet and caught Rusev with a Spear for the win. 'The One Man Army' finishes the tournament with a record of 8-3, which could place him in the Finals if things are to go his way on Monday. In Manifest Destiny, no contests are considered disqualifications, meaning that Reigns' only hope of making it to Survivor Series is if CM Punk and Dean Ambrose ends in that fashion on RAW.
Prior to the start of the historical main event here on SmackDown, the commentary team quickly ran down what is to be expected this coming Monday night on RAW, just six days before Survivor Series is live on the WWE Network and Pay-Per-View. A Champion vs. Champion match takes place as the NXT Champion, Kevin Owens, battles the WWE Champion, Cody Rhodes. Shane McMahon and Derrick Bateman will sign the contract for their high stakes Street Fight at Survivor Series, and finally, Manifest Destiny concludes with CM Punk vs. Dean Ambrose. It's simple - win and you're in the finals against Seth Rollins. However, if neither man can and the match goes to a no contest, then Roman Reigns is the one who punches his ticket for Survivor Series. With sixty minutes on the clock, the bell sounded to begin one of the biggest match ups in SmackDown history. Tyson Kidd and Adrian Neville locked up, the champion sliding underneath Neville and rolling him up. Kidd, however, placed his feet on the bottom rope, the official catching him in time. "Not even a minute into this match and Tyson Kidd is already looking to take the low road out of Manchester," said Mauro Ranallo. Neville got to his feet and charged towards Kidd, the defending champion lifting him over his head and onto the ring apron. Neville caught Kidd with a kick to the back of head, the champion staggering into the center of the ring. Neville springboarded off of the top rope and delivering a Clothesline, covering Kidd for the two count. 'The Man That Gravity Forgot' attempted a standing Moonsault, only for Kidd to get his knees up before the impact. Kidd cradled Neville into a pin, only getting a two count. The United States Champion brought Neville up to his feet and placed him in a corner, delivering several knife edge chops before charging into him with a splash. The dazed Neville walked towards the center of the ring, Kidd springboarding off the top rope and connecting with a flying Clothesline to the back of the head! Kidd covered Neville, once again only getting a two count. Fifty-five minutes remained on the clock at this point, Kidd only able to hold in his frustrations because there was so much time left to go. When Kidd attempted to go back on the attack, Neville placed him in a small package pinning predicament, securing the first fall!
Adrian Neville - 1, Tyson Kidd - 0
The Manchester crowd erupted as Adrian Neville was given the first fall, gaining the advantage very early on. Tyson Kidd sprung to his feet and took Neville out with a PK before he could even get to his own feet. Kidd struck away repeatedly on 'The Man that Gravity Forgot' before throwing him out to ringside. After bouncing Neville's head off of the announce table, Kidd threw him shoulder-first into the steel steps before rolling him back into the ring. Neville was motionless on the canvas as Kidd leaped onto him with a springboard Elbow Drop, good enough to even things up.
Adrian Neville - 1, Tyson Kidd - 1
After what happened following the previous fall, the official didn't allow Tyson Kidd anywhere near Adrian Neville initially. Kidd was forced into a corner as Neville got to his feet, the official asking if he was good enough to continue. Neville gave clearance for the match to go on as he fixed his mouth guard, staring at Kidd with grave intensity. Forty-eight minutes was what was shown on the titantron when Kidd ran towards Neville with a right hand strike in mind, 'The Man That Gravity Forgot' blocking it. Neville hit Kidd with a heavy left hand palm strike before connecting with a spinning kick to the mid-section. Neville ran the ropes and took Kidd down with a leap forearm, repeating this sequence two more times before planting Kidd onto the back of his head with a Hurricanrana! Neville had Kidd in a pinning predicament, though the United States Champion was able to kick out in time. Neville followed up by heading into a corner, looking back to make sure that Kidd was on his feet when he bounced his feet off of the second turnbuckle, Whatever Neville had in mind was thwarted when Kidd caught him in mid-air with a Dropkick! Both men were down on the canvas, the match coming to a stalemate while the fans in attendance showed their appreciation for the two athletes. "WWE fans are used to rooting against Tyson Kidd, but it's going to very hard to keep that up after tonight," Corey Graves stated. Forty-three minutes were left, over a quarter of the match going by with both men at one fall a piece. Kidd got to his feet first, rolling Neville to the outside underneath the bottom rope. The defending champion, stepped out onto the ring apron, waiting patiently for Neville to get back to his feet. Kidd ran towards Neville, intending to kick in the chest. Neville, however, grabbed Kidd's foot before any contact could be made, pulling back his leg and causing him to crash onto the apron. Kidd's body slid off of the apron and onto the floor, Neville backing against the barricade while taking a moment to catch his breath. 'The Man That Gravity Forgot' soon stepped onto that barricade, walking towards Kidd, who was back on his feet. When Neville leaped off for a Hurricanrana attempt, Kidd countered it and planted him onto the floor with a Powerbomb! Kidd would pick Neville up from the floor, delivering a Suplex onto the barricade in front of the time keeper's area. The official reached a count of eight when Kidd quickly rolled into the ring and back out to break it. Neville tried to stagger to his feet, using chairs to assist himself. Kidd went back on the attack, kicking Neville's arms off of the aforementioned chairs before bringing him close to the ring. The United States Champion bounced Neville's head off of the announce table before clearing its surface. Kidd placed Neville flat onto the table before heading back into the ring, the audience responding mostly negatively to his arrogant taunt. Kidd then grabbed onto the top rope, looking towards Neville while the fans in Manchester got to their feet in anticipation of what was about to come. Kidd springboarded off of the top rope, crashing onto Neville with an Elbow Drop through the announce table! "Thirty minutes are left on the clock and these two superstars have already thrown everything at each other, including the kitchen sink!" Mauro yelled out as the official checked on both Kidd and Neville with the backing chants of, "holy shit!" echoing throughout the arena. Two replays of Kidd's incredible elbow drop were shown, one in slow motion to capture the spot in all its beauty and destructive nature. Kidd was the first of the two men to show signs of life, crawling into the ring. Neville was much slower, but soon followed suit and was back in the squared circle. Finding a burst of energy from somewhere, Kidd charged into Neville with the Sick Kick! 'The Man That Gravity Forgot' crashed onto the back of his head, knocking him out once again as Kidd grabbed his legs and pulled him into the center of the ring. The United States Champion applied the Sharpshooter, the submission maneuver made famous by the family that he practically spit on a number of months ago when he wrestled Natalya at Payback. Kidd had the hold cinched in as the official raised Neville's arm three times, the challenger failing to respond to anything.
Tyson Kidd - 2, Adrian Neville - 1
Tyson Kidd released the Sharpshooter before backing into a corner, sitting against the turnbuckles while catching his breath with a wide grin on his face. Now up 2-1, Kidd is on top for the first time in this match with twenty-six minutes remaining. Adrian Neville was able to crawl towards the ropes and stagger to his feet, insisting that he continue on with the match despite being in a dire state. The official gave both men the clearance to resume the match, Kidd immediately kicking Neville in his legs. Neville crashed face-first onto the mat, Kidd attempting to apply the Sharpshooter again. Neville was able to kick Kidd away, the United States Champion rebounding off of the ropes and delivering a Discus Yakuza Kick. Kidd got the cover, but Neville was able to kick out in time. "Kidd wants another fall badly because if Neville gets one more and the score stays like that, we're going to overtime after the clock expires," Corey Graves stated. Kidd brought Neville into a corner and Irish Whipped him into the opposite one, 'The Man that Gravity Forgot' bouncing off of the turnbuckles. Kidd remained on his hands and knees on the canvas for a moment, the Elbow Drop through the announce table earlier, combined with the fact that he's been wrestling for nearly forty minutes, continued to take its toll on his body. Nonetheless, the United States Champion got back to his feet and brought Neville into the center of the ring, locking his arms in an underhook position for the Tiger Driver. Neville fought valiantly to prevent the maneuver, using his strength to keep his feet grounded. Shortly thereafter, Neville was able to twist his way out of Kidd's clutches, catching him with a Superkick! Kidd fell back onto the mat like dead weight, the audience cheering Neville on to get the cover. Neville was able to do so, though not quickly enough as Kidd got a shoulder up after two. Twenty minutes were all that were left at that point, Neville only having a fourth of the match remaining to get two more falls while preventing Kidd from gaining any more. 'The Man That Gravity Forgot' brought Kidd closer to a corner before ascending to the top rope, stopping twice since his leg was continuing to give him trouble. By the time Neville got to the top, Kidd was back on his feet. He stepped onto the second rope, striking Neville repeatedly to take control. Kidd took the extra two steps to get to the top rope, placing Neville in the underhook position once again. Kidd's attempt at a top rope Tiger Driver was thwarted when Neville slid out of his grip, countering the maneuver into a Sunset Flip! Kidd bounced off of the canvas and rolled onto his knees, Neville charging into him with a Shining Wizard! With Kidd taken out, Neville stepped onto the second rope and delivered a Phoenix Splash, covering Kidd for the three count!
Tyson Kidd - 2, Adrian Neville - 2
"We're all even now!" Mauro Ranallo called while trying to hear himself over the roars of the Manchester crowd as Adrian Neville staggered to his feet. Fourteen minutes were left in the match, entering the home stretch in what has been one of the best SmackDown main events in recent memory. Once Tyson Kidd was on his feet, the match resumed as Neville charged into him, delivering a DDT that spiked the United States Champion onto the top of his head! Neville covered Kidd, but wasn't able to get the fall there. When Neville got up to his feet, he limped towards the ropes before shaking his leg. He walked towards Kidd, who grabbed him by his shoulder and sent him to the outside. Neville was able to get onto the ring apron, Kidd joining him. The two men traded blows before Kidd delivered a kick to Neville's injured leg, stunning him. Kidd would then lift Neville up, dropping him with a Brainbuster onto the apron! The thud sound from Neville's body hitting the floor could be heard throughout the entire arena as Kidd rolled him into the ring, ten minutes left on the clock. Kidd was finally able to deliver the Tiger Drive that he had been looking for all throughout the match, but somehow, Neville was able to kick out! Kidd slammed his fist onto the mat in a fit of rage before grabbing Neville's leg, looking to lock in the Sharpshooter again. Before he could, Neville managed to take Kidd down to the canvas, turning the tables and applying a submission hold of his own - the Elevated Boston Crab, better known to fans as the Liontamer. "Neville's bad leg is resting right on the back of Tyson's head!" Corey Graves called. Kidd was able to crawl to the ropes, latching onto the bottom one to break the hold. Neville released his grip, looking at the titantron to see that only a little more than eight minutes remained. 'The Man That Gravity Forgot' was still in a bad state, holding his neck and left leg while trying to get to his feet. He brought Kidd to his feet, the United States Champion retaliating with a heavy strike to the face. Neville delivered his own, leading to the two competitors trading blows. With every shot from Neville, the audience rejoiced while showing their disapproval for every shot from Kidd. Neville dodged one of Kidd's strikes, giving him the opening to connect with a Roundhouse Kick. Kidd was dazed, but stayed on his feet. Neville shook his bad leg twice after backing away from Kidd, creating the distance that he needed to connect with the Bicycle Knee! "Ala another British talent, Tommy End," Mauro said on commentary while Neville got the cover on Kidd, only managing to get a two count. Neville rose to his feet, looking back at the clock to see a little less than seven minutes left. He springboarded off of the second rope with a Moonsault, Kidd getting a foot up in time as Neville's jaw connected with it. Kidd got to his feet and wrapped his arms around Neville, planting him with a German Suplex! After Kidd was able to get the fall, he kept his hold on Neville, allowing him to deliver a second German Suplex! Neville kicked out again, the United States Champion determined to follow up with a third German to complete the trifecta. Neville, however, prevented the Suplex and countered it into a pinning predicament, Kidd kicking out just in time. Kidd backed into a corner, Neville charging towards him before tripping due to his bad leg. Kidd took advantage of the situation and kicked Neville square in the face before stomping on the back of his head! The United States Champion covered Neville, who was able to get his foot on the bottom rope. Kidd pulled Neville's leg off of the rope and hooked it, but 'The Man That Gravity Forgot' was still able to kick out. Five minutes were left as Kidd returned to the Sharpshooter, only to have it countered into a small package that he managed to fight out of. Neville got to his feet and charged into Kidd, both men taking each other out with Clotheslines. The two superstars were laid out on the canvas as the Manchester crowd gave them both standing ovations for fifty-five minutes of unforgettable action. "For my money's worth, this is the absolute greatest spectacle that I have ever had the privilege of calling! Two stables of the WWE's future are laying it all on the line for the prestigious United States Championship!" said the proud Mauro. Both men rose to their feet, using each other to do so. Four minutes remained in the match for one of them to gain another fall. Kidd grabbed Neville and delivered a headbutt, stunning him for a second. The United States Champion followed up with three forearm strikes before turning around to run the ropes. Before he could do so, however, Neville jumped onto his shoulders and planted him with a Reverse Hurricanrana! Kidd was dazed on his knees as Neville delivered a Superkick, covering him for a two count. 'The Man That Gravity Forgot' climbed onto the top rope, less than three minutes left. Before he could deliver the Red Arrow, Kidd threw himself into the ropes to prevent the high-risk maneuver. The defending champion stepped onto the top rope with Neville, hitting a few strikes as he looked back at the clock a few times. Neville hit Kidd with a chop to the chest that nearly caused him to fall back, but Kidd was able to deliver a headbutt to put himself back in the driver's seat. "Less than a minute to go!" Corey Graves yelled out with every single fan in the arena standing. Kidd attempted a Hurricanrana, but Neville was able to keep his position on the top rope. He wrapped his arms around Kidd's waist, leaping off with a Piledriver! "Are you kidding me?! A freakin' Piledriver from the top rope?!" Graves commented before Neville returned to the top rope, diving off with a 450 Splash! "Ten seconds!" said Mauro as Neville returned to the top rope, delivering the Red Arrow for the three count! "Five! Four! Three! Two! One! That's it! Adrian Neville is the United States Champion!"
ADRIAN NEVILLE WINS THE UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP, 3-2
Every fan in attendance cheered at the top of their lungs as the official announcement was made that Adrian Neville had won the United States Championship. Both Neville and Tyson Kidd were motionless on the canvas, exhausted beyond imagination after sixty minutes of action in this historical main event. The referee assisted Neville to his feet before handing him the United States Title, 'The Man That Gravity Forgot' raising it high in the air. Neville rolled out of the ring and limped towards the barricade, stepping over and joining his fellow UK natives in celebration. Neville made his way to a certain part of the audience where other UK professional wrestlers such as Will Ospreay, Noam Dar, Marty Scurll and Kris Travis were sitting. All of them hugged and high-fived Neville before handing him a UK flag that he held high with one arm and the United States Title with the other. Back at ringside, Kidd was shown sitting against the ring apron with great disappointment, water being handed to him by the doctor on hand. "Take nothing away from Tyson Kidd. He wrestled for just as long as Neville did and put on just as incredible of a performance. It came down to one fall that Neville was able to get, but Tyson Kidd showed that he isn't a future star - he's a main event player as it is," Corey Graves said. The camera was placed back on Neville in the audience while Mauro Ranallo gave one final call to conclude the broadcast.
"That man right there is living proof that it doesn't matter where you're from or what kind of stature you posses. If you have the heart, drive, passion and determination for this industry, you WILL succeed! WWE is a global brand and it's Englishmen like Adrian Neville who prove that anyone from any part of the world can make it! Adrian Neville never gave up! Adrian Neville has worked his entire life to get to this point and in front of a UK audience in Manchester, he has become a two-time United States Champion!"

November 16th, 2013
► WADE BARRETT DEF. KOFI KINGSTON IN A MANIFEST DESTINY MATCH VIA COUNT OUT: To kick off the final live event show holding Manifest Destiny matches, Wade Barrett made his way down to the ring for his match against Kofi Kingston, the only win-less participant remaining in the tournament. Kingston's entrance music sounded, but just like last week against Seth Rollins, there was no sign of him. After a while, the decision was made to ring the bell and count Kingston out. Barrett's arm was raised in victory, though the former two-time WWE Champion was not willing to leave Vienna without a match. Barrett took a microphone from ringside, saying that it's fitting that a tournament as rubbish as Manifest Destiny ends for him with a no-show from his opponent. "It won't be Kofi Kingston who I get my hands on, but someone is going to be given bad news here tonight. I don't care who it is. Someone get out here now and give me a real challenge," Barrett said, issuing an open challenge.
► WADE BARRETT DEF. ZACK SABRE JR.: A shocker to the audience as Wade Barrett's challenge was accepted by a competitor who isn't even signed to a WWE contract. Zack Sabre Jr., who was invited to be a part of the European tour as his tryout for the company, took advantage of the opportunity to have his hightest-profiled match yet. Sabre had his work cut out for him, but looked the part of a WWE superstar. Towards the end of the bout, Barrett attempted to deliver the Bullhammer, only for Sabre to latch onto his elbow and lock in an Armbar! The crowd came alive as one of the biggest upsets of the year was on the verge of becoming a reality, though those hopes were shattered when Barrett reached the bottom rope. Sabre grabbed Barrett by his head and brought him into the center of the ring, trying to apply a Guillotine Choke. Barrett, however, was able to throw Sabre into the air, the submission specialist landing on his feet. Barrett ran the ropes and drilled Sabre with the Bad News Boots, covering him to get the victory. "Barrett's leaving Vienna with the victory he wanted, and despite losing, Zack Sabre Jr. opened a lot of eyes here tonight. This definitely isn't going to be the last time we see him in a WWE ring," predicted Corey Graves.
► SETH ROLLINS DEF. ALBERTO DEL RIO IN A MANIFEST DESTINY MATCH: While Seth Rollins has already clinched a spot in the finals at Survivor Series next Sunday, his final Manifest Destiny match was still one of the most vital for him as a victory here would guarantee him the number one seed. Alberto Del Rio's attempt at the Cross Armbreaker was countered into a roll up that Rollins immediately let go of. With Del Rio on his knees, Rollins delivered a Superkick followed by the Curb Stomp to exit the tournament triumphantly. Rollins celebrated his victory as he is official the number one seed in Manifest Destiny. The only question remaining now is who will be locked into the second seed after RAW goes off the air on Monday - CM Punk, Dean Ambrose or Roman Reigns?
1. Seth Rollins (10-1, 20 Points) *CLINCHED FINALS* 2. CM Punk (8-2, 16 Points) 2. Dean Ambrose (8-2, 16 Points) 4. Roman Reigns (8-3, 16 Points) 5. Alberto Del Rio (6-3, 12 Points) *ELIMINATED* 6. John Cena (6-4, 12 Points) *ELIMINATED* 7. Tyson Kidd (5-6, 10 Points) *ELIMINATED* 7. Wade Barrett (5-6, 10 Points) *ELIMINATED* 9. Adam Cole (3-8, 6 Points) *ELIMINATED* 9. Adrian Neville (3-7, 6 Points) *ELIMINATED* 11. Rusev (1-10, 2 Points) *ELIMINATED* 12. Kofi Kingston (0-10, 0 Points) *ELIMINATED* ONE MATCH DETERMINES EVERYTHING CM Punk advances to the Finals with a win over Dean Ambrose Dean Ambrose advances to the Finals with a win over CM Punk Roman Reigns advances to the Finals with a Punk/Ambrose No Contest

WWE Intercontinental Champion CM Punk and John Cena teaming up to beat the team of The New Day (Kofi & Woods) I mean I would have expected Punk and Cena to simply not co-exist or I would have expected some kind of miscommunication and why? Given Punk and Cena's storied rivalry their history that and the fact that Punk eliminated Cena from the Manifest Destiny tournament I would have expected Cena to turn on Punk here but he didn't and surprisingly Punk & Cena worked well together as a tag team as a well oiled machine which was another surprising thing but what was even more surprising was seeing Big E. cost Kofi & Woods their match
Big E. after what he did I think it is safe to say he will be feuding with both Kofi and Woods but I don't see it lasting too long because I see Big E. joining The New Day turning heel in the process
Ambrose beats Cole to move to 8-2 in the Manifest Destiny tournament while Cole moves to 3-8 in the tournament well Ambrose gains momentum heading into the final few days or so of Manifest Destiny and considering his path to the finals is pretty much set all he has to do is win I mean he gains momentum heading into his last Manifest Destiny match against the WWE Intercontinental Champion the Best in the World CM Punk while Cole on the other hand this tournament has been nothing short of a failure so I wonder how he plans to follow up going forward
Roman Reigns beating Rusev to go to 8-3 while Rusev goes to 1-10 I mean how the people in this match were cheering for Rusev still astounds me given the fact that he is a heel but also Reigns is a heel but I guess it all goes back to the fact that people hate Reigns more than they do Rusev so if that is the case then of course Rusev is going to get cheered which to me still feels weird but I digress...Reigns his path to the Manifest Destiny final is pretty much set because all he has to do is win and count on Punk and Ambrose to go to either a draw or a double countout or a No Contest...either one of those scenarios Reigns is in the final but Reigns then I wonder if he plans on interfering in the Punk/Ambrose match then?
And in the main event Adrian Neville beats Tyson Kidd in the 60 Minute Iron Man Match in the 1 Hour Iron Man Match for the WWE United States Championship to become the new WWE United States Champion...Neville is now a 2-time WWE United States Champion in his first year alone he not only wins the title yet again this year in this diary but in the process he gets redemption because Kidd was the one who originally beat Neville for that title and then Neville beats Kidd again to once again become champion...these 2 definitely showed me something here in this match...that being that if put in the main event that these 2 can shine
Wade Barrett winning his Manifest Destiny match against Kofi Kingston by countout I mean of course Barrett was going to go over because Kofi he has been no showing his Manifest Destiny matches because of his petition of this tournament boycotting any match he is scheduled to be in because of his record in the tournament but Barrett he has a 5-6 record while Kofi is 0-10 that is probably the worst record in the tournament so what is Kofi going to do? No show the rest of the tournament?
Barrett then he has an open challenge and it is answered then by none other than Zack Sabre Jr... and in Barrett's match against Sabre, Sabre almost beats Barrett in an upset I mean could you imagine a relative newcomer a relative unknown a relative nobody were to beat Barrett a man who in this diary is a former Royal Rumble Match winner a former 2-time WWE Champion? That upset would have been on the level of The 1-2-3 Kid beating Razor back in the day but on an even bigger scale but Barrett winning his match I mean Barrett is really starting to become the Barrett of old again well more or less
Seth Rollins as far as Manifest Destiny he has been above and beyond head and shoulders above the rest I mean 10-1 now in this tournament that is nothing short of impressive I mean he has been on top of the leaderboard practically this whole tournament winning match after match after match with his loss being at Hell in a Cell against Punk but Rollins gains even more momentum heading into Manifest Destiny because he is already in the finals but to see him beat Del Rio who is now 6-3 I mean Rollins basically put Reigns, Cena and Ambrose on notice with this win because any one of the 3 of them are going to have to face Rollins in the final

Seven weeks later, the Manifest Destiny tournament has come down to the wire on its final night of action. Monday, November 18th in Nashville, one match will set the stage for the showdown at Survivor Series with a WWE Championship opportunity on the line. One of three scenarios will play out, and when RAW goes off the air, the wrestling world will know which one does.
Going into the Manifest Destiny tournament, CM Punk and the then-Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion, Seth Rollins, had a score to settle after Rollins attacked Punk in a Five-Pack Challenge match on the September 16th edition of Monday Night RAW. Both superstars started the tournament with perfect records, the last two to do so. Punk's undefeated streak came to an end on October 21st against Wade Barrett, but it didn't come without outside involvement from Rollins. Six days later at Hell in a Cell, the two bitter rivals finally met in their tournament match against each other. Not only did Punk snap Rollins' perfect record, but he also captured the Intercontinental Heavyweight Title in the process. This remained the only smudge on Rollins' Manifest Destiny résumé as he would go on to finish the tournament with a record of 10-1, securing the number one seed after a victory against Alberto Del Rio in Vienna, Austria. Punk has one final chance to secure the second seed this coming Monday night against one of his former Uprising stablemates, Dean Ambrose. A victory for 'The Best in the World' puts him in position to defeat Seth Rollins one more time before moving on to the Royal Rumble to challenge for the WWE Championship.

Back in June, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose met in the finals of the King of the Ring tournament, making this potential Manifest Destiny finals bout a full circle experience for both competitors. Rollins not only won that match, but he has also defeated Ambrose in every single one of their previous matches. Their first meeting came on September 18th, 2011 for the Florida Heavyweight Championship, which Rollins came out on top. They wouldn't meet against until April 12th of this year for the Intercontinental Championship, which Rollins was once again victorious. 'The Lunatic Fringe' is 0-3 against Rollins, making this match the golden opportunity for him. Not only can Ambrose become the number one contender for the WWE Championship, but he can also finally break his streak of bad luck against Rollins. All he has to do is beat CM Punk this Monday on RAW and he's in the finals. WWE.com editors favor Seth Rollins in this match-up
At the beginning of 2013, two young upstarts showed more potential than anyone else to make this year theirs - Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns. Their brief alliance was tarnished after Reigns eliminated Rollins from the Royal Rumble match, setting up a No Disqualifications and No Count-outs match at Battleground. While Rollins was victorious there, 'The One Man Army' did get even a few weeks later on RAW. Rollins and Reigns had their Manifest Destiny match on October 14th, which Rollins came out on top of. Reigns can get his redemption in the finals, however, getting there is easier said than done for him. With a record of 8-3, Reigns' only chance of making it to Survivor Series is if CM Punk and Dean Ambrose's match on RAW ends in a no contest. Since he holds the tiebreaker over both of them, he would be the one to advance to the finals in that scenario.

Rollins either has Reigns, Ambrose or Punk in the final for Manifest Destiny at Survivor Series but I love how you posted up the scenarios and how WWE.com would favor either Rollins or his opponent to win Manifest Destiny and considering Rollins has history with all 3 of these guys notably Punk because Punk is the only guy in Manifest Destiny who managed to beat Rollins at Hell in a Cell but also in the process took Rollins' title away from him
Rollins also has history with Ambrose because of the 2013 WWE King of the Ring because Rollins beat Ambrose in the final to become 2013 WWE King of the Ring but also they too have history because of the WWE Intercontinental Championship but also in NXT too so
Rollins also has history with Reigns because of the 2013 Royal Rumble Match but also because of Battleground and then their battles after that
Furthermore Rollins his path to the final is already set but the question is who will he face?
And you bringing back the WWE Hardcore Championship especially in 2013-14 I am surprised that out of all the titles you would bring this one back but the better question is why?

November 18th, 2013 - Following the signature WWE intro, a video package began playing with "Definition of Destiny" by Billy Talent as the backing song. The four men remaining in Manifest Destiny - Seth Rollins, CM Punk, Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns - had their roads to this day recapped as the tournament concludes here tonight. After seven grueling weeks of Manifest Destiny, it all comes down to one match. With Rollins already locked in as the number one seed, he sits back and watches Punk and Ambrose compete for that last remaining spot in the finals at Survivor Series. However, if that match goes to a no contest, then Reigns will be the one to advance instead. When RAW goes off the air tonight, the world will know who Rollins will compete against this Sunday night on Pay-Per-View and the WWE Network for a WWE Championship match at the Royal Rumble.
Cutting to the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, the entrance music of Shane McMahon hit to a monstrous ovation from the masses. Shane-O-Mac stepped out onto the stage for the first time since making his shocking return to WWE two weeks ago, confronting the man who will stand across from shortly to sign the contact for their Street Fight at Survivor Series on Sunday. "The Prodigal Son has returned to defend the kingdom from the shackles of one Derrick Bateman in six days," Mauro Ranallo stated while Shane entered the ring. Shane took his seat near the table with the contract on it, facing towards the stage as the "Shane-O-Mac!" chants echoed throughout the arena. The cheers soon turned to passionate boos as "Casual Affair" sounded, the lights dimming. The dark silhouette of Derrick Bateman could be seen on the stage, his body becoming visible when the lights came on, timed accurately with the chorus of the song. Bateman slowly made his way down to the ring, not taking his eyes off of Shane at any point. The two men finally sat across the table from each other, both taking microphones. Shane shuffled through the contract, which only irritated Bateman. "Oh my God, no one actually reads those contracts, Shane. Here's a rundown of what that thing says: When I beat you this Sunday, your stock in the WWE becomes mine. I will own every bit of this company that you and your sister used to hold onto. World Wrestling Entertainment will be re-branded in my name and you'll have no one to blame but yourself." Shane glanced down at the contract again, reaching the last page before responding to Bateman. "That's not all that it says. It also clearly mentions that when I beat you at Survivor Series, you'll be fired. And not fired as in 'Terminated but re-signed later' like you were months ago. This time, you're done. Out of here. Blacklisted. No chance whatsoever that anyone will ever see Derrick Bateman in a WWE ring ever again. You don't get the privilege of leaving here on your own terms." Shane proceeded to sign the contract, Bateman mocking the crowd's cheers. "Yeah, let's give it up for Shane McMahon! He's gone for almost five years, comes back, writes his name on a piece of paper and suddenly, he's a hero again! Yay, Shane! You know what I've been doing in that time frame? Busting my ass to make a name for myself here. Because I wasn't one of those beloved indie darlings or a second or third generation star, I didn't have opportunities just handed to me. I worked for everything that I have and then this company just took it all away. When I see you, Shane, I see every single corporate stooge that has screwed me over wrapped into one being. You represent everything that I can't stand, and on Sunday, I'm taking over this company and making it pay for ruining my life." After Bateman signed the contract, Shane told him that during his time away from WWE, he still had his eye on what was going on both on and off screen. "Contrary to what you probably think, I didn't discover you for the first time two weeks ago. I've known of Derrick Bateman for years now. I saw your name get thrown around more times than I can remember and not always for good reasons. Some people thought you weren't worth the time and wanted you out of here a lot sooner. Others felt that you had all of the potential to be a star in this industry, and you know what? They were right. You posses everything that a WWE superstar should, but you're throwing it all away. No one in corporate screwed you over. You've been doing that all on your own. You threatened to cause bodily harm against my father. You've made accusations about my family. This Sunday, you get what you deserve and don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out."
Shane stood up from his seat and attempted to leave the ring, but Bateman refused to allow Shane-O-Mac the last word before Sunday. Bateman would grab Shane by his shoulders and throw him onto the contract signing table, Shane tumbling onto the canvas. Bateman pushed the table out of his way and knelt down on top of Shane, striking him repeatedly before kicking him out to ringside. The audience's boos grew even louder as Bateman rolled up the sleeves to his dress shirt, smirking at Nashville. When Bateman attempted to go back on the attack, Shane caught him with several jabs to the face and body! "Here goes Shane!" Michael Cole exclaimed as Shane took control of the brawl. Shane grabbed Bateman and threw him over the announce table, heading over to the time keeper's area to take the ring bell. When Bateman got back to his feet, Shane leveled him over the head with the bell, WWE's most-despised superstar falling flat on his back onto the surface of the announce table. Shane looked at Bateman before turning his head to the ring post, looking back at Bateman one more time. Shane-O-Mac slid into the ring and began climbing onto the top rope, the audience going ballistic. Shane stood on the top rope as he stared down at Bateman, a very familiar scene for anyone who has watched any of Shane's previous work. Before Shane could leap off and deliver the Elbow Drop, Bateman rolled off of the announce table. The Nashville crowd booed heavily as Bateman scurried away, Shane dropping back down onto the canvas. Bateman made his way to the top of the stage, staring at Shane while holding his head, still feeling the effects of the ring bell shot. It's all on the line in six nights at Survivor Series in a Street Fight with the future of WWE on the line. If Shane wins, Bateman will be fired. If Bateman wins, then he will earn Shane's stock in WWE, thus owning a portion of the company.
Backstage, Alberto Del Rio and the new United States Champion, Adrian Neville, were shown on split-screen walking towards the ring. They meet in their final Manifest Destiny matches, next on RAW!
► UNITED STATES CHAMPION ADRIAN NEVILLE DEF. ALBERTO DEL RIO IN A MANIFEST DESTINY MATCH: Despite being eliminated from Manifest Destiny, Alberto Del Rio and the new United States Champion, Adrian Neville, competed as if they were in the positions of CM Punk and Dean Ambrose on this evening. Neville, who was coming off of what many fans online are calling the 'Match of the Year' against Tyson Kidd, found himself in the Cross Armbreaker, but managed to use his strength to be able to reach the bottom rope. Del Rio backed away from Neville, clapping repeatedly as the Nashville audience chanted "Si!" with every clap. Del Rio went for a Superkick, but 'The Man That Gravity Forgot' grabbed his leg before being struck with it. After spinning Del Rio around, Neville leaped onto his shoulders and planted him onto his head and neck with a Reverse Hurricanrana! Neville climbed onto the top rope while Del Rio was on his hands and knees, delivering the Red Arrow onto Del Rio's back! Neville got the cover, giving him the victory. The new United States Champion was handed back his title as he briefly raised it high before checking on Del Rio. Neville assisted his opponent up to his feet, the two men shaking hands and showing mutual respect after completing the Manifest Destiny tournament.
Following the commercial break, an outside shot of the Bridgestone Arena was put on display as Monday Night RAW is sold out tonight in Nashville, Tennessee. Back in the arena, Michael Cole pointed out a tweet from the official WWE Twitter account just hours ago, revealing that the Hardcore Championship will be returning. Cole went on to announce that in two weeks on December 2nd, an Extreme Gauntlet match will take place on RAW featuring ten superstars. Two men start off in the ring and every two minutes, another will enter. You can only be eliminated via pinfall or submission. The last remaining competitor when it's all said and done will be the recipient of the WWE Hardcore Championship. "If Crash Holly were still with us, I'd bet everything on him in two weeks," Corey Graves added at the very end. Backstage, Renee Young was standing by with one of the superstars who failed to advance to the Manifest Destiny finals, Adam Cole. Renee asked the former NXT Champion for his thoughts on Manifest Destiny after having completed the tournament last week on SmackDown. "My thoughts are that I agree with what the New Day have been saying this whole time about Manifest Destiny. It's a load of garbage that's been used to elevate those who don't need anymore of the spotlight. But... That's fine because in one year's time, you'll be interviewing me as the winner of Adam-fest Destiny. Just like in two weeks, you'll be interviewing me as the brand new WWE Hardcore Champion because Adam Cole is the first superstar who is throwing his name into the mix of things for the Extreme Gauntlet. You can ask Lana just how hardcore I can get. Isn't that right, Rusev?" Cole said with a pompous smirk on his face, referring to his inadvertent, yet pleasurable for him, Superkick to Lana ten days ago. Cole was halfway out of the picture before stepping back in, directing a message to an old friend of his. "And Kyle, I haven't forgotten about you. It's amusing how you want to make a name for yourself at TakeOver at the expense of my own, but just like every time before, it's going to be 1... 2... 3 for the winner - me. Adam. Cole. Bay-bay." ► NATALYA & ALEXA BLISS DEF. THE BELLA TWINS: A long-awaited tag team bout for these four women that was delayed by a minor injury for Nikki Bella. After Natalya took Nikki out with a flying Clothesline off of the apron, Brie Bella and Alexa Bliss were left in the ring. Brie failed to connect with a Missile Dropkick, giving Alexa the opening to deliver the Sparkle Splash. The newest female superstar executed the high-risk maneuver, covering Brie to get the win. Natalya joined her protégé in the ring as Alexa picks up a huge victory on RAW.
A still image was shown of Bray Wyatt and Paige in the ring last week here on RAW, the latter tied to a rocking chair while 'The Eater of Worlds' gave his reasons for tormenting her. We'll be joined by Bray and the rest of the Wyatt Family, next!
"Nashville... We're Here," Bray Wyatt said as part of the Wyatt Family's signature intro. The trio's entrance music hit as they made their way down to the ring, the 'fireflies' casting light in the darkness. "This Sunday night, one of the most unfathomable matches in WWE history takes place when that monster, Bray Wyatt, takes on Paige in a Casket match," Mauro Ranallo said. Once Wyatt was in the ring, he blew out his lantern as the a spotlight shone down on him. Luke Harper took a microphone from ringside, handing it over to his leader. "Six days, Abigail. Six days remain until you and I are reconnected in this forsaken universe that took you away from me. With my hands, I will eviscerate Paige and allow your spirit to flourish once again. When I close that casket, the monster will rot, but when I open it, your beautiful eyes will be staring back at me and for the first time in what might as well be an eternity, I can be happy. You... Me... Harper... Rowan... The four of us will ignite the world and make it ours! This family will be at the forefront of mankind! And when that creature, Paige, descends into hell, she'll know that all she needed to do to achieve salvation was look up at the sky and follow the buzzards!" Wyatt spread his arms out and looked up the ceiling, shouting Abigail's name before a video began playing on the titantron. Paige was shown walking around a cemetery, the cameraman asking why they were there. "Just shut up and follow me," she said in a hostile tone before proceeding to roam the area. 'The Anti-Diva' glanced at all of the graves, shining a flashlight on them. She soon stopped at a particular one, kneeling down as the light allowed the camera to display the name on the headstone - Abigail Wyatt. "You get away from there!" Bray Wyatt shouted back in the arena. Paige sat cross-legged in front of Abigail's headstone, speaking to her. "You don't know this, but you've caused me a lot of trouble over the last month. Your brother thinks you're alive and that I'm some demon who is imprisoning your spirit or something like that. He's haunting me and it's scary as hell. I won't lie about that, but while it's frightening, it's also heartbreaking. In the end, this is all about a brother who loves his sister. Bray just misses you and wants you back. He doesn't think anyone understands that, but I do because I've lost someone very close to me as well in the past. It's the worst feeling in the world and I've never gotten over it, but I've also never tried to ruin someone else's life because of it. I'm sorry that I'm gonna have to hurt your brother, but I need to protect myself. I hope you can understand that." Paige sat up and glared down at Abigail's grave one more time before turning to walk away. She stopped herself for a moment, looking directly at the camera and subsequently Bray Wyatt. "By the way, Bray... This video isn't live." The video stopped as the arena went pitch black, nothing but camera flashes in the audience visible. That was until fire could be seen in the ring, the lights coming back on to reveal Paige hold a flaming barbed wire baseball bat! "Are you serious?!" Corey Graves shouted as the roof nearly blew off of the Bridgestone Arena. When Bray Wyatt turned around, Paige swung the flaming bat at him, 'The Eater of World's dodging the shot and leaving the ring. She then swung it at Luke Harper, who did the same. Erick Rowan attempted to attack Paige, but she got the better of him by delivering a shot from the bat to his back, his jumpsuit catching on fire! "Rowan's on fire!" Mauro Ranallo yelled out as Rowan quickly rolled out to ringside, Harper and Wyatt using their layering pieces to help put him out. A ringside attendant quickly used a fire extinguisher to clear the flames, Rowan remaining face-down on the floor. Paige stood tall in the ring, raising the barbed wire high as the flame was still burning brightly. Wyatt stepped onto the ring apron, staring eye-to-eye with the woman who he will meet in a Casket match this Sunday night at Survivor Series!
Returning to Monday Night RAW in a Nashville, a recap of the previous segment was shown that saw Paige visit the grave of Abigail Wyatt before 'The Anti-Diva' emerged in the Bridgestone Arena, swinging a barbed wire baseball bat that was on fire, igniting Erick Rowan in the process. Focusing on the commentary trio, Michael Cole stated that time and time again, Paige continues to push the boundaries and will no doubt need to do just that to defeat Bray Wyatt this Sunday night at Survivor Series. Corey Graves gave his input saying, "Pushing boundaries? How about bounding this woman to solitary confinement? Paige doesn't deserve to go through what she is, but that doesn't mean she can come out here on live television and set people on fire." ► KOFI KINGSTON W/ XAVIER WOODS DEF. JOHN CENA IN A MANIFEST DESTINY MATCH: For Kofi Kingston, this was his final opportunity to get a victory after going through the entire Manifest Destiny tournament win-less up to this point. Cena picked up some momentum later on in the match, fired up as he took Kingston out with a few shoulder tackles. Kingston, however, managed to dodge on, allowing Cena to inadvertently take out the official. When Cena turned around, Kingston leaped towards him with Trouble in Paradise, but Cena managed to catch him in his arms. Before Kingston could be given the Attitude Adjustment, Xavier Woods slid in the ring and struck Cena in the lower-back with his trombone. Woods played a note on the trombone before stomping away on Cena, Kingston joining in on the attack until Big E ran down to the ring to make the save. Big E, who has had his run-ins with the New Day as of late, stood across from Kingston and Woods as they backed into a corner. Big E slowly began walking towards the duo, the audience believing he was there to further punish them. However, Big E shocked the world when he turned around and drilled Cena with a Clothesline! A mixed reaction emerged for Big E as he exited the ring with a smile on his face, Woods and Kofi just as confused, yet delighted by what had happened. Woods headed to ringside and played his trombone in sync with Kingston's "New! Day rocks!" claps. Cena stirred to his feet as Kingston delivered Trouble in Paradise, covering him while the official crawled towards them. The three count was made, giving Kingston his only win in Manifest Destiny. "On the final day of Manifest Destiny, Kofi Kingston not only get his first victory, but he does it against John Cena!" Corey Graves exclaimed on commentary. Kingston and Woods celebrated in the ring, Big E stepping in as he glanced back-and-forth between Cena and the New Day. Kofi and Woods opened their arms as Big E hugged the two of them. Woods played the "New! Day rocks!" melody on his trombone while Big E danced over Cena's motionless body, Kingston stepping onto the second rope to taunt the fans in attendance. Big E has officially joined the New Day, and collectively, the trio have just screwed over John Cena!
Returning to the broadcast, a recap of the events just that transpired was shown as the world witnessed Big E join the New Day, allowing Kofi Kingston to defeat John Cena and get his only win in the Manifest Destiny tournament. "The New Day grows in numbers and Kofi is no longer the laughing stock of the WWE. What they've been saying all this time could be true - New Day rocks," said Corey Graves. ► DIVAS CHAMPION SOFIA CORTEZ, ANTONIO CESARO & KASSIUS OHNO DEF. AJ LEE & WRESTLING ROYALTY: One of two tag team matches to preview the Traditional Survivor Series match scheduled for this Sunday. Sofia Cortez and AJ Lee had their brawl on the outside towards the end of the match, which concluded when AJ leaped off the barricade and took out the Divas Champion with a Hurricanrana. Back in the ring, Antonio Cesaro planted Ted DiBiase with the Neutralizer. Joe Hennig attempted to break up the pin attempt, but Kassius Ohno charged into the ring and drilled him with a Roaring Elbow. Cesaro picked up the victory for his team, giving Team Styles the momentum for the time being. Cesaro and Ohno assisted Sofia to her feet on their way up the ramp, the three standing triumphantly. Backstage, NXT Champion Kevin Owens was shown walking down a corridor. In a huge Champion vs. Champion match, he takes on the WWE Champion, Cody Rhodes, next live on RAW!
A promo was shown for this week's edition of NXT. After his shocking debut two weeks ago, Pentagon finally speaks out on why he attacked PMA, as well as his alliance with Maxine. WWE NXT, this Wednesday night on ION Television. ► WWE CHAMPION CODY RHODES VS. NXT CHAMPION KEVIN OWENS ENDED IN A NO CONTEST: A first-time ever match-up between Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens as two of the cornerstones of WWE's future battled it out in a Champion vs. Champion match. Neither superstar could afford a loss heading into the biggest matches of their careers this Sunday at Survivor Series. At one point, Owens threw Rhodes against the ropes and into the air for the Pop Up Powerbomb, but the WWE Champion used his strength to prevent himself from hitting the canvas. Rhodes would instead place Owens in the Triangle Choke that he used two weeks ago to defeat Rusev. The hold was cinched as Owens appeared to be on the verge of submitting until the entrance music of Brock Lesnar hit. The combination of cheers and boos from Nashville made for a deafening reaction as 'The Beast Incarnate' made his way out to the stage along with Paul Heyman, the two staring down Rhodes from a distance. 'The Prince of Pro Wrestling' released the Triangle Choke as he stood with his chest against the ropes, daring Lesnar to get into the ring. The number one contender for the WWE Title slowly made his way towards the ringside area, Rhodes unaware that the NXT Champion was back up. Owens turned Rhodes around and delivered the Pop Up Powerbomb at the same time that Lesnar slid into the ring. Lesnar and Owens came face-to-face, the crowd coming alive for that confrontation. "Talk about another dream match," commented Mauro Ranallo regarding Lesnar and Owens. Seconds later, Owens backed out of the ring and took the NXT Championship from ringside, a comment being picked up by cameras from him - "Whatever. I'm getting paid anyways." Owens left up the entrance ramp as Lesnar stood over Rhodes, who was beginning to stir to his feet. He wasn't allowed to fully do so as Lesnar hoisted him onto his shoulders, planting him with an F-5! Paul Heyman retrieved the WWE Championship and handed it to his 'Beast', Lesnar raising it while standing tall over Rhodes. "One F-5 on Sunday is all it'll take for the most-feared competitor in professional wrestling to take home the WWE Title," Corey Graves said. Rhodes vs. Lesnar in six days at Survivor Series for the WWE Championship!
► RANDY ORTON & WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS THE ALPHA WOLVES DEF. AJ STYLES & NXT TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS THE ADDICTION: The second preview match for the Team Orton vs. Team Styles Elimination match that takes place this Sunday at Survivor Series. While representatives for AJ Styles managed to get the job done earlier tonight, that wasn't the case here as an RKO from Randy Orton to Christopher Daniels allowed him to get the victory for himself and The Alpha Wolves. Styles and The Addiction regrouped on the entrance stage, Mr. Money in the Bank yelling out to 'The Viper' that he won't be the one standing tall at Survivor Series.
Shifting the focus to the announce table, the commentary trio ran down the card for this Sunday's Survivor Series Pay-Per-View event. A special thanks was given to Avenged Sevenfold for two of their songs, "Hail to the King" and "Unholy Confessions", acting as theme songs for Survivor Series. In a Six-on-Six Elimination match, AJ Styles teams with Divas Champion Sofia Cortez, NXT Tag Team Champions The Addiction, Kassius Ohno and Antonio Cesaro to take on Randy Orton, WWE Tag Team Champions The Alpha Wolves, Wrestling Royalty and AJ Lee. Daniel Bryan makes his return after three months on the shelf to take on the man who nearly ended his career, the NXT Champion Kevin Owens. The first-ever Intergender Casket match takes place when Bray Wyatt battles Paige in a match that will certainly not be for the faint of heart. In a Street Fight, Derrick Bateman puts his career on the line against Shane McMahon's ownership of WWE. One of the biggest match-ups of 2013 happens when Cody Rhodes puts the WWE Championship on the line against Brock Lesnar. And speaking of the WWE Championship, Manifest Destiny officially comes to an end in six days. Seth Rollins has already locked in his spot, and in just a few moments, we'll know who he's competing against. Survivor Series is live this Sunday on Pay-Per-View and the WWE Network!
► DEAN AMBROSE DEF. INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION CM PUNK IN A MANIFEST DESTINY MATCH: Manifest Destiny came down to this one match with everything riding on the line. A victory here would send either CM Punk or Dean Ambrose to the finals this Sunday night to take on Seth Rollins, but a no contest would put Roman Reigns in that position. Speaking of Reigns, 'The One Man Army' made his way out to the stage mid-way through the match, getting a closer look as he had to hope that both superstars would fail to get the win. Two officials stood by Reigns' side per order of Commissioner Booker T to ensure that he did not get involved in the decision. Punk went for a Go To Sleep late in the match, Ambrose sliding off of his shoulders and delivering an Inverted DDT. Ambrose got back to his feet and stood in a corner, waiting patiently for the opening to strike with the Boma Ye. When 'The Lunatic Fringe' did so, Punk caught him and hit the Go To Sleep! The Intercontinental Champion got the cover, but somehow, Ambrose was able to kick out at two! Chants of "This is awesome" poured in from the Nasvhille audience as Punk signaled for yet another GTS. This time, Ambrose surprised him with a small package roll up, only able to get a two out of it. Ambrose was the first to get to his feet, charging into Punk with the Boma Ye to the face! Ambrose grabbed onto the top rope, repeatedly stomping both of his feet onto the canvas the audience reacted so thunderously that the hard camera was shaking. Ambrose caught Punk with a second Boma Ye, covering him to secure the victory! "Dean Ambrose is going to the finals!" Michael Cole yelled out with excitement as the crowd couldn't be contained. Cameras caught Roman Reigns' reaction on stage, 'The One Man Army' instantly turning around and leaving when the three count was made. Ambrose stood tall in the ring as the banner appeared on the bottom of the screen to officially name him the second seed in the tournament. However, the road is not yet over for 'The Lunatic Fringe.' Ambrose's celebration was interrupted by the arrival of Seth Rollins, who quickly made his way down to the ring. Rollins came face-to-face with Ambrose, the two exchanging words as they now know that this Sunday night at Survivor Series, they're going to be the two men who battle it out for a WWE Championship opportunity at the Royal Rumble. Who will win Manifest Destiny - Rollins or Ambrose?
1. Seth Rollins (10-1, 20 Points) *CLINCHED FINALS* 2. Dean Ambrose (9-2, 18 Points) *CLINCHED FINALS* 3. Roman Reigns (8-3, 16 Points) *ELIMINATED* 4. CM Punk (8-3, 16 Points) *ELIMINATED* 5.

- The final go home RAW before Survivor Series definitely lived up to its hype that's for sure
- Starting RAW off with the contract signing for the Street Fight between Shane and Bateman definitely set the tone for tonight and if history has shown anyone that contract signings usually don't end well and this one certainly didn't disappoint that's for sure but the stakes are so high in this match because think about it Shane has all the pressure on him because if he loses then Bateman not only has Shane's stock he also would get Stephanie's stock in the company as well making him half-owner of the WWE in a sense and for Shane being a McMahon that's even bigger pressure because he has the McMahon family legacy here at stake but if Shane wins then Bateman is gone for good that means he can't come back to WWE ever he's fired he's gone forever so in a sense Bateman has pressure on him too...but then the contract signing ending in Shane standing tall and Bateman in full retreat I mean is that what could happen Sunday at Survivor Series?
- The new WWE United States Champion Adrian Neville coming off winning the WWE United States Championship in a 1 Hour Iron Man Match this past Friday on Smackdown wins his final Manifest Destiny match here by beating Del Rio a former WWE United States Champion in his own right...I mean Neville is gaining momentum now I mean even though he finishes with a 4-7 record I mean he has shown me or is showing me that he can become a star here in this business I mean he is already a 2-time WWE United States Champion while Del Rio finishes with a 6-5 record which isn't bad but I wonder what Del Rio will do to gain momentum heading into Survivor Series?
- An Extreme Gauntlet Match to determine the new WWE Hardcore Champion...I think that that's a great idea
- Adam Cole throwing his name into the Extreme Gauntlet it makes me wonder just who else will throw their name in as well?
- Natalya and Alexa Bliss I mean as a team they are gaining momentum especially here by beating The Bella Twins but at the same time it is like the protege Alexa Bliss is practically outshining her mentor in the sense that Alexa Bliss is practically gaining all the spotlight while Natalya is fading into the background more or less...think about it the protege manages to outperform the teacher the protege gets more popular than the teacher and then sooner or later the teacher turns on their protege think about it like the seeds more or less have been planted for a Natalya heel turn
- Paige playing the ultimate mind game with Bray Wyatt but also setting Barbie on Fire and using the barbed wire baseball bat with flames on it hitting Erick Rowan with it while Harper and Wyatt manage to get out of there...Paige has lost it she's gone nuts I mean I can understand what the Wyatt Family have done to her but at the same time that is no excuse to be setting people on fire I mean she hits Rowan with the bat and they have to put him out with fire extinguishers and what not...I mean I wonder if that will come back to haunt Paige at Survivor Series in the Casket Match with her and Wyatt going at it?
- Kofi Kingston finally wins a Manifest Destiny match finally...his final match and he wins by beating none other than John Cena...that is probably the biggest win in Kofi's career beating Cena who is a multiple-time World Champion Cena has done it all he's the face of the company and Kofi beats him but not for lack of controversy to get the job done...Kofi finishes with a 1-10 record while Cena finishes with a 6-5 record but the real story here is Big E. turning on Cena and joining The New Day as its newest member I have to wonder why Big E. would join The New Day? I wonder if we will get an explanation from Big E. as to why he turned on John Cena?
- Baron Corbin making his main roster debut the night after Survivor Series I think that that is actually a great idea to bring him in but personally I would have debuted him the night after Royal Rumble 2014 in your diary or even debut him the night after WrestleMania 30
- WWE Divas Champion Sofia Cortez and the former WWE Tag Team Champions Cesaro & Ohno members of Team Styles beating AJ Lee and Wrestling Royalty in Intergender 6 Person Tag Team action...I mean Team Styles gains momentum heading into Survivor Series considering they are facing Team Orton at Survivor Series but to see the heel team go over the face team something tells me that before this night is over these 2 teams all of them will cross paths again and it will turn into a brawl all over the arena
- Champion vs Champion the WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and the NXT Champion Kevin Owens' match ending in a No Contest because of The Beast The Conqueror Brock Lesnar showing up and pretty much taking Rhodes out with an F-5 planting Cody Rhodes with an F5...all it takes is 1 F-5...I don't see how Rhodes stands a chance against Brock Lesnar...Lesnar is not just a mere mortal he is not your everyday average wrestler the man is a pure specimen a beast a conqueror and Rhodes he could be going to Suplex City this Sunday at Survivor Series and if that happens we could be looking at the next WWE Champion...his name being Brock Lesnar
- Lesnar and Owens yeah talk about dream match right there...I know that I would definitely pay to see that
- Orton and the WWE Tag Team Champions beating former TNA standouts AJ Styles and the current NXT Tag Team Champions Daniels and Kazarian The Addiction in 6-Man Tag Team action...I mean it looks like the momentum has shifted back to Team Orton as far as Survivor Series goes as they beat the rest of Team Styles I mean is that we see this Sunday at Survivor Series? Either way as far as momentum goes I would say it is pretty even right now but that can all change
- Main event sees Dean Ambrose win his final Manifest Destiny match to go 9-2 beating the WWE Intercontinental Champion The Best in the World CM Punk who finishes with a 8-3 record...I mean the crowd obviously would be split 50/50 since both men are crowd favorites fan favorites being probably the biggest babyfaces on the roster and this match being so back and forth that really either man could have walked out victorious but to see Ambrose be the one to do it...I mean it looks like we are getting a rematch of the 2013 WWE King of the Ring final but in the finals of Manifest Destiny at Survivor Series and the winner gets themselves a WWE Championship match at the 2014 Royal Rumble PPV I can't wait to see Ambrose and Rollins go at it again considering the history these 2 men have here in this diary

I can't wait to see Paige's interview with Michael Cole...something tells me that this interview will probably be a can't miss interview

"Hello again, everyone, and welcome to our weekly interview that is normally conducted on WWE.com. For today, however, we are being broadcasted live on the WWE Network with my guest - the woman who will take on Bray Wyatt this Sunday night at Survivor Series in a Casket match, Paige," said Michael Cole for his introduction. Paige nodded to Cole while repeatedly tapping her fingers on a folder that rested on her right leg. "We'll get straight to the point. My understanding is that you wanted to partake in this interview because you have something to say to the world?" Cole asked, Paige confirming the statement. "I know. This folder makes me look like I'm getting ready for school, which, you know, is probably where I should be instead of fighting someone in a Casket match," she said before opening the aformentioned folder. 'The Anti-Diva' took several small strips of paper, all containing dated writing. "These were some letters I had written to... my baby." Cole remained silent for a few seconds after Paige spoke, soon saying that he never knew she had a child. "... That's because I don't," she said, Cole taking a few seconds before picking up the hint. "Oh, God. I'm - I'm so sorry," Cole said, Paige saying that's what everyone who knows about that has ever said to her. "I was 18 when I found out I was pregnant. I was ready to put wrestling to the side and be the mother to my child that my own mum has been to me - amazing. After I lost the baby, I had surgery in America to remove a dermoid cyst and was told that I may never be able to give birth." Taking a bit to process the information, Cole asked Paige if Bray Wyatt saying that she doesn't understand pain and loss is the reason she's opening up about all of this. "It has a lot to do with it, but I also decided that I'm okay with talking about this now. I want other girls out there who may have similar experiences to know that they're not alone. I haven't come to terms with with losing baby yet and I know I never will, but it happened and I want to be a voice in this world. I'm not a role model. I know that. I don't want little girls to look at me and think that the things I've done are acceptable. I want them to be better than me. Bray said that I've never lost anyone close to me and that's what really set me off. Like I said on RAW, this whole thing about him and Abigail is really sad because he just misses his sister. He's still grieving over a loss like I am and like billions of others are. But... I'm not a demon who is holding his sister's spirit or whatever. I'm a person. I deal with things, too. I get sad a lot. I've felt pain everyday that I've been a part of this business. So, to directly answer Bray, yes, you freakin' psycho. I know how it feels to suffer." While the emotionial Paige wiped away tears from her eyes, Cole said that while there's an outpour of support for her from WWE fans across the globe, there are also many detractors who say that she's in over her head. "That's not a secret. I know I can be stupid. I dive head-first into everything without knowing what I'm doing. I make mistakes and very rarely do I learn from them, but I still have to go through with this match. Bray Wyatt wants to hurt me and I need to protect myself. Doesn't matter to me what anyone says. I'm going to win at Survivor Series and put all of this behind me because I'm just ready to stop hurting myself. Wrestling isn't fun anymore for me. It's a nightmare that I need to wake up from and that starts when I put Bray in a casket on Sunday. I want him to feel every bit of pain that I ever have. I want his blood on my hands. When that casket closes with him inside, I don't want it to ever open. I. Will. End. Bray. Wyatt."

- Wow I mean after reading this interview from Paige I actually did not know that about her I seriously didn't but at the same time I mean if anyone knows about loss it is Paige but also Wyatt he too has suffered loss as well so in a sense they are both kindred spirits when you think about it
- At the same time there comes a point where all of that stops...I mean Paige is going to war against Bray Wyatt and not just in any regular singles match not in any regular stipulation match she is facing Bray Wyatt in a Casket Match where there are no pinfalls, no submissions, no countouts no disqualification the only way to win is to stuff your opponent inside the Casket and closing the lid shut so who does that favor? Bray Wyatt of course because a Casket Match is his speciality in a sense think about it this is the man who buried The Undertaker alive in this diary back at Extreme Rules in a Buried Alive Match...we haven't seen or heard from The Undertaker since so what makes Paige think she stands any chance against Bray Wyatt this Sunday at Survivor Series in a Casket Match?
- Bray not only outweighs Paige...he is so much bigger than Paige in terms of stature but also in size and strength he's a man she is a woman like it is no contest...Bray is a monster he is as vicious and as evil as they come so what makes Paige think she has any chance in hell of beating Bray Wyatt?

Wow.
Wow is all I can really say. When you said you were getting darker, that is not what I expected.
