No Way Out Review
Cena defeats Ziggler in a classic match, a match that really could have gone either way but I was pulling for Ziggler in this match but at least he took Cena to the limit, so I wonder if Ziggler is line for a huge push
That slippery slimeball Evan Bourne retains the WWE United States Championship against Christian, I was really pulling for Christian to win this match but I think this rivalry is far from over and that it will be settled at TLC next month but in what type of match? I say it'll be in a Ladder Match
DiBiase and Mcgillicutty do it again by retaining their WWE Tag Team Championship against Sin Cara and Rey Mysterio, which just goes to show us that no one can beat DiBiase and Mcgillicutty right now because they are just the hottest thing going today in terms of tag team wrestling
Swagger going to meet his new stable mates of All World Promotions AW's stable, this should be interesting to see
Cesaro retains his WWE Intercontinental Championship against The Big Show, I knew Cesaro could do it and I knew that he could get the job done but with that being said I wonder just who will be Cesaro's next opponent considering he's beaten Sheamus and Big Show 2 main eventers for this title, just who will be next
Yes my man Orton does it, he is still the World Heavyweight Champion and beats both Bryan and Ambrose in the process to do it, so it just goes to show you that no one on Smackdown can beat Orton right now
RAW 1000 I can't wait and here is to hoping you have Rock return and when he does, The Rock has his WWE Championship match at the Royal Rumble in your diary
Eve retains her WWE Divas Championship and in the process retires Beth Phoenix the Glamazon, in what I thought was an amazing divas match-up, and now that Beth is retired, she will for sure be a sure-fire Hall of Famer definite first ballot for me
Flair's daughter got into a car accident, I am really praying for her but also for The Nature Boy too, just a rather shocking turn of events, really definitely threw me for a loop
Cody Rhodes defeats Chris Jericho to keep his SummerSlam title shot in tact, just goes to show you that Cody now has Jericho's number and Jericho I wonder what he is going to do now considering Rhodes has beaten him meaning Rhodes will go on to SummerSlam to face whoever the World Heavyweight Champion is, and Jericho I just wonder what is on the horizon for him now
Brad Maddox with an OMG moment by screwing both Punk and Ryder, similar to how he screwed Ryback at Hell In A Cell in real life, and Michael Cole asking just what the hell happened, I hope Flair when he becomes back, he rectifies this situation and he rectifies it fast but Miz ends up as the new WWE Champion and Miz being bombarded with trash along with Maddox, I loved it
But with Miz, I don't see him as WWE Champion for long, I see him as WWE Champion until Hell In A Cell and then losing the title, here is to hoping Barrett comes back and when he does, he guns for Miz's WWE Title

Very good pay-per-view here. Cean beat Ziggler as expected byt made Ziggler look like a champ, which should help his push. Evan got a nice win over Christian, a good quality win to help his title reign. The street fight for the tag titles was a fun match. Like Evan, Cesaro also gets a big win to help his title reign as well. The first title cage match was fun, and AJ factored into the finish as expected. Curious to see what you do with this Bryan/AJ thing. Shame that Beth couldn't win the Diva's title, but oh well. Cody gets a good win over Jericho, which should give him some good momentum heading toward his big title shot at SummerSlam. The main event was good with a surprising result. I wouldn't be surprised if Flair's family emergency was a setup by Maddox just so he could help Miz steal the title. Overall some pretty good stuff here.

WWE No Way Out: Sunday 17th June 2012...Black Veil Brides!? Guh! Kofi Kingston with the win against Johnny Curtis on the YouTube Pre-Show was the right decision, me thinks. Curtis' presence in the WWE is very satisfying to read right now, I must say. Quite a hot opening contest to kick off the pay-per-view, but I have to say I was not expecting this match to open: John Cena in the opening contest of a pay-per-view, something that hasn't been done since an Elimination Chamber match, I believe. Great write-up, putting lots of effort into getting Dolph Ziggler over, even if Cena got the win. Eventually Ziggler's going to have to get more than "nearly winning" matches though. Nicely done. Up next, Evan Bourne and Christian for the WWE United States Championship. Good exchanges, I enjoyed Bourne stealing away yet another victory over Christian. Up next, the Street Fight...and Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara yet again fail to succeed in claiming the WWE Tag Team Championships? I did not see that coming. I hope there's a way to rebuild Mysterio and Cara after the damage done in this feud, all to get Ted Dibiase and Michael McGillicutty over, it's all sacrifices these days. Mysterio being seriously hurt put a damper on things, I think yet another match could be coming, but I'm hoping that's not the case. Plenty of other tag teams around for McGillicutty and Dibiase to focus on. Antonio Cesaro and Big Show would've been painful to watch I imagine, honestly. Show dove off of the top rope? What? I'd have been happier seeing Cesaro gain a sh*t-ton of credibility and momentum from picking Show up with the Neutralizer, but maybe that's a stretch too far. The main factor here is that Cesaro is still the WWE Intercontinental Champion, and that's good enough for me. Wow, I'm surprised to see the World Heavyweight Championship Steel-Cage match this early on in the show, but it works for me, since the WWE Championship is vacant, and therefore seems a lot more appealing in the main event picture. Had hopes for this main eventing when Wade Barrett against Zack Ryder was the initial RAW main event, though. Solid match, and I liked Daniel Bryan's interaction with AJ leading to Randy Orton picking up the victory. Good move, but I'm hoping to see a change in Orton's persona, otherwise he'll be a really dull champion. Up next, Eve beating Beth Phoenix was acceptable, but could be regrettable in retrospect. Ah well, it got Eve over more as the WWE Divas Champion and the biggest bitch in the women's division, so that's fine and dandy. Sacrifices~. Cody Rhodes and Chris Jericho again, I forgot this match was made. It's a shame too, because Cody needs a lot more promotion if he's putting his SummerSlam World Heavyweight Championship shot on the line on pay-per-view, and yet still doesn't look all that ready for the spotlight just yet. Although I am looking forward to a feud between Orton and Rhodes again, hopefully it'll be better than their rivalry last year. Cody winning was likely though, I wonder what Chris Jericho will do from now on. Oh God, Breathe Carolina have the SummerSlam theme song this year? My God, I thought BVB would be where it would end. And now it's time for the big main event, an outstanding effort by Zack Ryder and CM Punk, but the Miz got the win? Hmm, I'm split on Brad Maddox already turning on the WWE Universe. It's a bit rushed on one hand, but on the other, he does resemble Miz's character a lot and would be a great new Alex Riley to Miz as WWE Champion. I imagine Miz's feud with CM Punk will resume, but it's going to take time for me to get behind Maddox's turn. Overall, a very eventful and busy show, but I can't help but feel that it was a little too stacked. A lot was on the line, and several matches suffered because of the higher stakes in other matches. Some felt forgettable when they really shouldn't have. Nonetheless, should be interesting to see how you do the road to SummerSlam from here, I'm looking forward to it.

I can't wait until the road to TLC Tables Ladders and Chairs and as for the World Heavyweight Championship I can see it being defended in a Chairs Match with Orton defending it against Ambrose with it being the final encounter between them but with the World Heavyweight Championship on the line and these 2 with chairs in their hands, this could be brutal
And for the WWE Championship, I can see Flair firing Maddox for what he did, Flair firing Maddox as his assistant, I can definitely see that happening as fallout from No Way Out, and then Flair making Miz defend the WWE Championship in a Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match against CM Punk and CM Punk's record in TLC matches speaks for itself but Miz also has TLC experience too so

| Monday Night RAW | June 18th, 2012 | Long Island, NY |
Tyson Kidd and Justin Gabriel def. Primo and Epico
Kofi Kingston def. Jinder Mahal
- Following the signature WWE intro, we cut directly to the arena here in Long Island as Justin Roberts introduced the assistant RAW General Manager, Brad Maddox. The audience bombarded Maddox with boos as he was all smiles, not caring at all for the WWE Universe's opinions. "Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together and show your appreciation for, once again, the most must see WWE Champion in history, the Miz!" More boos emerged as Miz made his way out to the stage with the WWE Championship draped over his shoulder. He shook Maddox's hand as the two made their way down to the ring. "Really? Really?" asked Miz. "You all should be on your feet and celebrating like it's New Years Eve because for the second time, the Era of Awesome is upon the WWE!" Miz raised the championship high in the air as he placed his hand near his ear, telling the Long Island audience to keep the hate coming. Maddox said that for the past 24 hours, people have been waiting to hear from him. "I know you all have on question on your mind, and I have the answer. So here it is, the moment that will shake the entire landscape of the WWE...." Maddox took a long pause as the world was expecting an explanation for his actions at No Way Out last night. Instead, Maddox pulled out his phone. "Brad Maddox is now on Twitter!" he shouted to a chorus of boos. "You can all follow me @bradmaddoxiswwe. I think a million followers by the weekend is a reasonable goal." Maddox then shifted gears, saying that he knows the second thing on the minds of everyone. "Why did I do what I did at No Way Out? Why did I cost CM Punk and Zack Ryder the WWE Championship? In all honesty, I'm surprised that this is some sort of mystery to all of you. Isn't the answer obvious? I am now a huge part of Monday Night RAW, and I'm only looking out for my brand's best interest. And this show needs to be represented by someone with class. Someone talented. Someone 'awesome.' And that person is neither Punk or Ryder. All I did was ensure that my brand is in the hands of a true champion. And on top of that, I-"
- Maddox wasn't allowed to continue on as he was interrupted by the theme of....Mick Foley! Long Island's own Foley made his way out to a huge ovation as Miz was livid in the ring, shouting at Maddox why he was here. Maddox didn't know himself as Foley stepped into the ring. The audience chanted Foley's name as for the first time since their Street Fight at WrestleMania XXVIII, he came face to face with the Miz. Foley said that due to Ric Flair not being here tonight, the Board of Directors gave him a call and informed him that after No Way Out last night, they felt that Brad Maddox is "not trustworthy" when it comes to handling Monday Night RAW by himself. "Brad, I know you were expecting to be in charge of things tonight, but I'm sorry to inform you that I have been named the General Manager for the evening." The crowd popped again as Foley continued on. "And I don't know if it's just me who is thinking this, but isn't it a little strange how on the night that Ric Flair leaves due to a family emergency, you assist the Miz in becoming the WWE Champion?" asked the Hardcore Legend. Maddox just shrugged his shoulders, saying "Pure coincidence." Foley began interrogating Maddox about the situation, asking for a reason why he should believe that Flair's daughter was even involved in an accident. He continued on until Miz interrupted. "Foley, how low are you?! Ric Flair's daughter was in a serious accident, and you're trying to point fingers at Brad Maddox, who had nothing to do with that situation," said Miz. "You're right, maybe Maddox had nothing to do with it. Maybe you're the one who set the whole thing up!" proclaimed Foley as the audience cheered him on. "What is wrong with you?!" asked Miz. "Nobody had anything to do with that. There was no set up. Flair's daughter is in serious condition right now, and you somehow believe that it was a set up. It was an unfortunate accident and you should be praying for her recovery, not interrogating anybody. Or maybe.....maybe you're still mad. Mad over the fact that at WrestleMania, I showed you up in your match." Foley told Miz that he doesn't hold a grudge over him for that. "You won the match fair and square, even though fair and square doesn't necessarily exist in a Street Fight. But nonetheless, you won. But tonight isn't about WrestleMania. It's about righting the wrongs of last night. Because what you and Maddox did was wrong, and I'm not going to stand for it. So I would just like to inform you both that the two men you screwed over at No Way Out will be receiving shots at the WWE Championship." Miz simply stared at Foley while the audience popped. Maddox butted in, telling Foley that he can't just be handing out title matches, to which Foley said that he was given the approval from the Board of Directors. "And what better place to have a title match than right here in Long Island, New York!" said Foley as he received another one of his famous cheap pops. "And the man who will face you tonight, Miz, for the WWE Championship is none other than the hometown kid, Zack Ryder!" The crowd erupted as Miz and Maddox were irate, telling Foley that he can't do that. "I have the authority to do so, and I just did. Have a nice day!" The crowd continued to cheer on Foley as he left the ring, leaving Miz and Maddox disgruntled in the ring. Mick Foley will attempt to "right the wrongs" from No Way Out as tonight, Miz will defend the WWE Championship against Long Island's own Zack Ryder!
- COMMERCIAL BREAK
- Returning to RAW, Mick Foley was shown walking down a corridor as Brad Maddox chased after him. "Foley, listen to me. You can't force Miz to defend the WWE Championship tonight. Who cares if we're in Zack Ryder's hometown? He lost last night. And do you know the trouble that I went through to ensure that Miz left No Way Out with the title?" asked Maddox. "What trouble? All you did was close a door really hard," said Foley. Maddox then began to stutter, coughing once before saying "Well....you know.....I had to precisely time the moment Punk and Ryder were at the door...and...you know," he said. "Yeah, I do know. I know that tonight, your partner in crime will defend his WWE Championship against Ryder. Woo woo woo, you know it!" said Foley as he pumped his fist in the air before leaving the scene.
- WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION RANDY ORTON DEF. UNITED STATES CHAMPION EVAN BOURNE: Two champions collided in what was a very good opener to tonight's edition of RAW from Long Island. Orton was coming off of a hellacious Steel Cage match at No Way Out last night, and Bourne was looking to capitalize on that. Towards the end, the United States Champion ascended up to the top rope, looking as if he were going for Air Bourne. He decided against it, remembering what happened the last time he attempted to hit it on Orton. He then charged towards the Viper with the Shining Wizard, but it was countered into the RKO! Orton covered Bourne to get the victory.
- The audience popped as Orton staggered to his feet, being handed back the World Heavyweight Championship. He raised it high in the air, still riding his wave of momentum. After Orton left, Bourne began getting to his feet as he faintly demanded for his United States Championship. When he turned around, he was hit with a Spear from Christian. The audience went wild as Christian stood tall over Bourne, holding the shoulder that was already injured last night at No Way Out. Captain Charisma took the United States Championship from the official, raising it high in the air as he told Bourne "We're even."
- Backstage, Brad Maddox was shown in his office with the new WWE Champion Miz as the two were still angered by the fact that Mick Foley, the RAW General Manager for the night, is forcing the Awesome One to defend his title against Zack Ryder. At that moment, John Cena walked into the room. "John, Dolph asked for a rematch," Maddox said. Cena told Maddox to give it to Ziggler then. "If the kid still feels like he has something to prove, then let him prove it again." Maddox told Cena that he doesn't need to hear any inspirational words because he already made the match for tonight. Before Cena left, he noticed that Miz and Maddox were quiet, still angered about their whole situation. "Look at it this way. If Miz loses the WWE Championship tonight, at least you two still have each other," said Cena as he left the room.
- COMMERCIAL BREAK
- Returning from the commercial break, we were shown the final segment from therapy with R-Truth. Truth and Dr. Shelby walked out of the office, Truth thanking him everything. "I feel much better now. So does Lil' Jimmy. Ain't that right?" asked Truth as he stared down at nothing. Dr. Shelby asked Truth if he really still believes that Lil' Jimmy is a real person. "Hey, man," said Truth as he covered Lil' Jimmy's ears. "Of course he's real. He's right here! Say hi, Jimmy," said Truth as Shelby continued to stare at him awkwardly. "He's a bit shy. But thanks for all your help," said Truth. "Right...and if there's any other WWE superstars who could benefit from my help, send them over my way. I'm starting Anger Management classes soon, as well,: said Dr. Shelby. Truth assured him that if he ever sees any superstars going crazy, he and Lil' Jimmy will let them know of the best therapist out there. Truth walked out of the building holding Lil' Jimmy's hand, though he was simply walking air.
- Returning to the arena here in Long Island, the Usos were shown in the ring as they get set for tag team action. The theme of Jack Swagger hit as he and AW made their way out to the stage, ready to unveil the newest additions to All World Promotions. "Ladies and gentleman, I am pleased to introduce you all to the newest members of All World Promotions. Hashtag millions of dollars! Hashtag money makin' scholars! Them boys that'll bring the noise. Darren Young and Titus O'Neil, the Prime Time Players!" Young and O'Neil made their way out to the stage, shaking both AW and Swagger's hands as the four made their way down to the ring.
- PRIME TIME PLAYERS W/ AW AND JACK SWAGGER_DEF. THE USOS: A solid tag match here with the Prime Time Players dominating for the most part. The newest additions to All World Promotions were able to get the victory after a Gutbuster from Darren Young onto Jey Uso.
- Young and O'Neil celebrated their victory as AW and Swagger joined them in the ring, pleased with the performance from their new stable mates. The four all did the "millions of dollars" dance together in the ring, AW proclaiming that the world was looking at the future of the WWE.
- Backstage, Zack Ryder was shown in his locker as the audience responded with a huge ovation. Josh Mathews approached him, asking for his thoughts on his WWE Championship match tonight with the Miz. "What I will say first is that everything that happen at No Way Out is still kind of a blur to me. I never had an issue with Brad Maddox. So to say that I was caught off guard by his actions would be an understatement. It would also be an understatement to say that I was caught off guard by Mick Foley's announcement earlier. Because now, not only do I have another opportunity to become the WWE Champion, but I can do it in my hometown. And in front of all my friends and family, you bet I'm going to capitalize on the opportunity. After Ryder was finished speaking, Mick Foley made his way into the room. "Hope I'm not interrupting you, Zack, but I have an announcement to make. Brad Maddox keeps claiming that last night, he only 'ensured' that the Miz left No Way Out as the WWE Champion. Well tonight, I'm going to ensure that there are no shenanigans. And that's because when you take on the Miz for the WWE Title, I will be the special guest referee."
- Cutting to another camera, Mr. Money In The Bank Dolph Ziggler was shown making his way down to the ring. He meets John Cena in a rematch from No Way Out, next.
- COMMERCIAL BREAK
- A promo was shown for this Friday's edition of SmackDown. After AJ Lee's actions at No Way Out cost Daniel Bryan the World Heavyweight Championship, what is next for the once engaged couple? Friday Night SmackDown, this Friday on SyFy.
- DOLPH ZIGGLER DEF. JOHN CENA: A great No Way Out rematch here to cap off the first hour of tonight's show. Much like their encounter last night, many near falls came for both men. After failing to get the victory off of the Fameasser, Ziggler grabbed his Money In The Bank briefcase from ringside. The official was quick to confiscate it, momentarily taking his eyes off of the action. When Ziggler turned around, Cena hoisted him up for the Attitude Adjustment. Ziggler was able to rake the eyes of Cena, freeing him and allowing him to hit the Zig Zag. He quickly covered Cena as the official made the count.
- The audience appeared to be in a state of shock as Ziggler rolled out of the ring, raising his arms in victory and grabbing his Money In The Bank briefcase. Ziggler may have scored the biggest win of his career yet as he just pinned John Cena. Cena staggered to his feet in the ring as Ziggler celebrated on the stage, the Show Off doing what he does best.
- A graphic was shown for tonight's main event. The Miz will defend the WWE Championship against Long Island's own Zack Ryder. And as we learned earlier, Mick Foley will serve as the special guest referee.
- COMMERCIAL BREAK
- Returning to RAW, Christian was shown walking down a corridor when Josh Mathews approached him, informing him of something from the office of Mick Foley. "Next week, you will be competing against Evan Bourne in a non-title match. If you're victorious, you will receive one more opportunity at the United States Championship." Christian said that while that is news to him, he's not surprised. "Bourne hasn't proven anything against me yet. He stole the victory last night at No Way Out. But next week, I'll be the one who takes the win. And then, I'm taking his United States Championship." At that moment, a door opened and struck Christian in his injured shoulder. He dropped to the floor as Evan Bourne walked out of that door. He stared down at Christian, laughing at him as he held his shoulder in agonizing pain.
- Cutting back to the arena, the theme of Eve hit as the Diva's Champion made her way down to the ring, which was filled with party decorations. She received a ton of heat from the audience as last night, she forced Beth Phoenix into retirement. Eve said that nobody should be mad right now. Because this isn't a time for anger. It's a time for celebration. "Tonight, we will celebrate the career of Beth Phoenix." There were three portraits in the ring, all covered with black sheets. Eve unveiled the first one, which was a picture of her from No Way Out last night. "Look at me. A fighting champion ready to endure her toughest challenge yet. Actually, it wasn't really that tough. But just look at me!" she said to a chorus of boos. She then revealed the second portrait, which was her pinning Beth after hitting her with her own Glam Slam. "The Glam Slam has never been performed with more perfection. And nobody should be surprised at this image. I mean, wasn't it already certain that I would not only beat Beth Phoenix, but end her career as well?" Eve removed the black sheet from the final portrait, which was an image of Beth crying after her loss. "Now that, ladies and gentlemen, is the definition of a sore loser. Rather than understanding and living with the result, she bursted into tears. It's clear that the Diva's division was not meant to be led by a crybaby. And that's exactly why I am standing here right now, still your Diva's Champion. And Beth Phoenix is applying to a convenient store." Eve was still being showered with boos as she simply smiled and waved as if she were a queen. Suddenly, the theme of Natalya to a nice ovation. She made her way down to the ring, confronting Eve with a serious expression on her face. "Eve, understand something. You did beat Beth Phoenix last night. And yes, you did end her career. But you don't have to come out here and be such a witch about it!" The audience popped for Natalya as she continued to berate Eve. "Beth was one of the most dominant Divas to ever grace a WWE ring, and because of you, her career is over. Beth gave her life to this business, and you're spitting on everything that she's done for the Diva's division." Eve quickly became defensive, telling Natalya that she shouldn't be blaming her. "The only person that Beth Phoenix has to blame is herself. She didn't have to agree to put her career on the line, but she did. Why? Because she's an idiot. And idiot who somehow believed she could beat me. She couldn't. Nobody can," said Eve. "Nobody can beat you? Why don't you give me a shot, then?" asked Natalya. Eve told her that she needs to slow down. She's not just going to be handing out opportunities at her championship. "And especially not to another cry baby," said Eve. At that moment, Natalya pulled Eve down to the mat, locking her in the Sharpshooter. The audience went wild as Eve repeatedly submitted, screaming for Natalya to release her. A few seconds later, she did so as Eve remained on the mat in pain. "Who's the cry baby now?" asked Natalya as she threw her microphone to the mat, leaving up the entrance ramp."
- Backstage, World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton was shown leaving the arena when Scott Stanford approached him, informing the Viper of some huge news that is making its way throughout the WWE Universe. "Cody Rhodes is currently having his lawyers write up a contract, and it will be signed by the both of you this Friday on SmackDown. And once it's signed, the match will be made official. You defending the World Heavyweight Championship against Rhodes." Orton said that all this match will be is a different time and place compared to their other encounters. "Cody Rhodes has never gotten the upperhand on me, and never will. And I will gladly bring punishment to him once again at SummerSlam, only this time, I will crush his dreams of becoming World Heavyweight Champion."
- COMMERCIAL BREAK
- A promo was shown for the 1000th episode of Monday Night RAW on July 23rd.
- Returning to RAW, a replay from last week was shown of Bray Wyatt interrupting the victory celebration of Brodus Clay and the Funkadactyls. Wyatt tried to recruit Naomi and Cameron for his "Cult Wyatt" by claiming that they were 'lost souls.' Wyatt would then attack Brodus. We then cut to the backstage area, where Josh Mathews was standing by with Bray Wyatt. He asked Wyatt for an explanation as to why he tried to, as he put it, save Naomi and Cameron. "Didn't I already explain myself. They're lost souls who need meaning to fill the voids of their lives. Hypnotized by Brodus Clay, hypnotized by the disco ball that hangs over our heads......but I'm not hypnotized. When I look at that disco ball, I see the world of Brodus Clay and the Funkadactyls rotating on its axis......and my job is to stop it....stop their world from revolving. Cut off the rays of the Sun from beaming on them! Let the darkness fill their world, let them shiver and starve, let them realize what meaningless lives they are living! And then, with their last breath, they come crawling to ol' Bray Wyatt, and profess what I have been preaching all this time......save us, Mr. Wyatt......save us! Hahaha......in time, they will realize the error of their ways....and remember......tiiiiiiime is on my siiiiide..."
- Returning to the arena here in Long Island, the theme of Antonio Cesaro hit as the Intercontinental Champion made his way down to the ring. A still shot from No Way Out was shown, where Big Show leaped off of the top rope and fell into the Swiss Death Uppercut from Cesaro. The Intercontinental Champion grabbed a microphone, saying that in the short amount of time he has been in the WWE, he has made one thing perfectly clear. "Nobody can beat me! On day one, I captured the Intercontinental Championship. And everyone who has been put in front of me has fallen. And it's obvious why, and that's because nobody can beat the Swiss. Nobody from any portion of the world can beat me. And that should be evident thus far. Sheamus couldn't beat me, and he embodies everything about the Irish. Stupid, idiotic, alcoholics. And last night, the Big Show fell at my feet. And Show embodies everything that is wrong with this country. A washed up, moronic, lazy, fat loser." The audience booed Cesaro as he continued on, saying that he should be the one who is deemed the "Best in the World." "Like I said, nobody from any portion of the world can beat me. And I dare someone to try."
- INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION ANTONIO CESARO DEF. SANTINO MARELLA: Santino Marella answered Cesaro's open challenge, representing his country of Italy. Cesaro's claim that nobody from anywhere in the world can beat him still stands as he able to quickly put Santino away, planting him with the Neutralizer for the victory.
- Cesaro stood to his feet as he was handed back his Intercontinental Championship, raising it high in the air. Along with the Americans and the Irish, Cesaro can now add the Italians to the list of nationalities that he has conquered. Cesaro stood tall on the stage, the question being brought up as to who will be the next one to step up to the Intercontinental Champion.
- Backstage, WWE Champion the Miz was shown making his way down to the ring. He defends his title against Long Island's own Zack Ryder, with Mick Foley as the special guest referee, next.
- COMMERCIAL BREAK
- A promo was shown for TLC: Tables, Ladders, and Chairs, live Sunday July 15th, only on pay per view.
- WWE CHAMPIONSHIP (SPECIAL GUEST REFEREE: MICK FOLEY) - THE MIZ DEF. ZACK RYDER: The audience was fired up for this match as Ryder had the opportunity to capture the WWE Championship in front of his hometown. Along with that, another Long Island native, Mick Foley, participated as the special guest referee. A fantastic main event to close out the show. Ryder nearly had the title won after hitting the Rough Ryder, only to have Miz place his foot on the bottom rope at the last second. Towards the end, assistant General Manager Brad Maddox made his way down to ringside, jumping onto the ring apron to try and distract Foley. Instead, Foley pulled out Mr. Sock and shoved it down Maddox's throat. While that was happening, Miz caught Ryder with a low blow, following that up with the Skull Crushing Finale to get the victory.
- The audience showered the Miz with boos as he stood to his victory. Foley was handed the WWE Championship as he tried to give it to Miz, clearly not wanting to. After Miz took the title, he bashed Foley over the head with it. Maddox slid into the ring as he and Miz stomped away on Foley. Ryder tried to make the save, but another shot from the WWE Championship took care of him. Maddox held Ryder up as Miz hit him with repeated fists. Soon, CM Punk ran down to the ring as Miz and Maddox quickly bolted out. They headed up the entrance ramp as Punk stared them down, Foley getting to his feet with a microphone. "Miz, I'll give you this. You beat Zack Ryder, but there's still one more man that you and Maddox screwed over at No Way Out. And Punk will be getting his shot at the TLC pay per view." The audience popped for the announcement, but Foley wasn't done just yet. "But there's more to it. Because it's not just going to be a match. It's going to be a fight. A fight with three specific elements.....tables, ladders, and chairs!" The Long Island audience erupted as Miz and Maddox were stunned and livid on the stage. Punk was all smiles as he, Foley, and Ryder stood tall in the ring.

RAW Review
I loved Brad Maddox explaining just why he cost Punk and Ryder both the WWE Championship and just why he single-handedly gave the title to Miz on a silver platter but I really hope Flair comes back and rights Maddox's wrong by firing Brad Maddox as assistant RAW GM, but if Flair cannot come back right now, please please please have the COO Triple H or the Chairman of this company Vince McMahon fire Brad Maddox because no GM is supposed to act like that much less play a result in a match
But I love how Mick Foley returned in his hometown of Long Island and made the following match of Miz defending his WWE Championship against Long Island's own Zack Ryder in the main event getting clearance from the Board of Directors
Personally the Board of Directors should have fired Brad Maddox after he did what he did, fire him as the GM but then give him a spot on the active roster as a superstar
My man Randy Orton the World Heavyweight Champion beats Evan Bourne the WWE United States Champion, just goes to show you Orton owns Bourne and then after the match Bourne gets speared by Christian, I told you their rivalry was far from over
Cena walking into the room when Maddox and Miz are talking, that was great, and even better Cena making barbs at the 2 of them and then Maddox making the match of Cena vs Ziggler again in a No Way Out rematch, I can't wait to see that one
It seems Truth can't be helped when it comes to therapy, he is still the same, if not worse
The newest members to AW's stable are PTP, this is great, Millions of Dollars, plus Swagger, you have a winning combination, and all they need is a main event guy in their stable to make them credible but I think for now they are just fine the way they are
PTP beating The Usos, just goes to show you with AW and with Swagger they will be more successful in their quest in order to become WWE Tag Team Champions
Mick Foley is going to be the special guest referee for the main event, this is awesome and Ryder's chances I think have just gone up considerably making sure there is no shenanigans with Maddox and Miz again, making this fair
All I can say is that I am shocked that Ziggler just beat Cena, but the question is, is just when Ziggler will cash in his MITB briefcase? I can honestly see him cashing in on Orton right after his match and then winning the title and then Orton invoking his re-match clause and Rhodes having his SummerSlam shot makes it a Triple-Threat Match at SummerSlam
But Ziggler personally I think he should wait until Hell In A Cell or Survivor Series to cash in
Christian I hope he gets another shot at the WWE United States Championship and Evan Bourne, and Christian ends up winning the United States Championship because that is something he hasn't done yet in his career but Bourne being so underhanded doing what he just did, closing the door on Christian's shoulder injuring it even more, Bourne is a weasel plain and simple
Natalya vs Eve I hope, for the WWE Divas Championship and I hope it is at TLC and plus Natalya is a former WWE Divas Champion, and comes from a great wrestling family her uncles being Bret and the late Owen, her father being The Anvil Jim Neidhart, and her grandfather being Stu Hart, great lineage she comes from, definitely deserving of being WWE Divas Champion
My man Orton finds out on Smackdown that he is going to have a contract signing with Cody Rhodes as it relates to SummerSlam but what Rhodes needs to understand is that Orton might not even be the champion when SummerSlam comes around because of TLC, because we still yet to find out just who Orton's opponent will be for TLC and then there is the issue of Dolph cashing in his briefcase which he could choose to do
RAW 1000 definitely can't wait, because I really want to see The Rock come back to build up towards your Royal Rumble 2013 PPV, but also to see other faces too like Undertaker, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, X-Pac, Billy Gunn, Road Dogg, Trish Stratus, Lita, Vader, Sycho Sid, Bret Hart, etc.
Bray Wyatt needs to have a feud with someone higher up on the card and especially now that he keeps riding that momentum
Cesaro just proved last night at No Way Out that not even Big Show could beat him, an Irishman couldn't beat him, and no American can beat him, so whose next for him to beat? Cesaro should be called the Best In the World because he is, he proves it whenever he beats a superstar from any given country in impressive fashion night in night out
Cesaro beats an Italian, Santino Marella, just proves my point, that no one will be able to beat Cesaro for that WWE Intercontinental Championship, and that Cesaro is destined for greatness if not now, then definitely soon
TLC promo again, I can't wait until the PPV
Miz barely escapes as WWE Champion, only because Maddox helped him again, this just makes Miz look weak and cowardly and not credible in my opinion especially if he needs the RAW Assistant GM to win matches
But I love how Foley made the match for TLC, that it will be Miz defending his WWE Championship against CM Punk but in a Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match, this is going to be great, I really hope Punk wins the title back at TLC but if not at TLC, then at SummerSlam for sure

Or I just hope Wade Barrett comes back to save us from Miz's title reign, I would rather have Barrett as champion again than The Miz because Miz's first title reign was unbearable and his title reign now will be even more unbearable especially with Maddox in tow, that is why I am hoping Barrett comes back to win the WWE Championship again, at least with Barrett, I could put up with him as WWE Champion
Randy Orton can face Chris Jericho at TLC for the World Heavyweight Championship since Jericho has nothing to do, it would make sense too considering it was Orton who punted Jericho in the skull back in 2010

Just got done reading Raw and while it was a solid show: I do have some issues:
- Fun idea to have Mick Foley host Raw in his hometown, and give the hometown boy Zack Ryder a shot at the title. An old school idea but a good one nonetheless.
- So Cena gets a hard fought win over Ziggler on the pay-per-view, yet you have a rematch the next night with Ziggler winning. Why not just have Ziggler win the match at the pay-per-view?
- Why do you keep hainvg Smackdown's champions appear on Raw and vice-versa? Doesn't that show how redundant it is to have a U.S. Champion and a IC Champion? Not to mention having a WWE Champion and a World Champion? You might want to consider halting that practice or cutting down on how many titles you have.
- So just like the WWF's always done, your heel champion needs a heel authority figure to back him up, instead of letting him stand on his own. The main event was nice but I agreed with tg11, the ending didn't help Miz look like a strong titleholder. Nice segment with CM Punk getting the next shot.
Overall a solid show with a few concerns. Keep up the good work!

Thank you, I am glad someone agrees with me that the ending of the match made Miz look weak as a WWE Champion and it just makes Miz look even more weak that he has to depend on Brad Maddox to help him to win matches, but I am glad that CM Punk is getting the next shot
And yes Smackdown's champions appearing on RAW and vice versa, I have to admit it is getting repetitive and redundant, it is best they stay on their own brands and not just showing up when they want to

No Way Out- Awesome opening contest, but not a fan of Cena winning. Not that having Ziggler look good in a loss is bad, it's just that I feel like it's about time Ziggler got the big win. Was pulling for Christian as I've never been fond of heel Bourne even though it's original as hell. Not bad overall. Surprised to see Sin Cara and Rey lose, but not upset about it. Good match, dug the Street Fight stip for sure. Cesaro over Show was obvious and I love the push Cesaro is getting, I want to see him go to the moon! Excellent World Title match, loved the kick to Ambrose followed by the chair shots as it helps Bryan stay looking strong. Wanted Ambrose badly, but Orton winning is understandable. Surprised to see Beth retire, especially to Eve. Never saw anything special in her. One of my favorite feuds for sure and a good match to boot. Rhodes keeping his title shot is perfect. Orton/Rhodes will be perfect given their history. Shocked to see Miz win the belt as I thought for sure it would go to Punk. Love the Maddox/Miz pairing though and can't wait to see where it goes. Overall, an excellent show once again as this diary continues to shine. HOF worthy in my book.
Raw- Loved Maddox talking about Twitter and Foley booking Miz/Ryder. Also liked that Foley showed respect to Miz for beating him at WrestleMania. Orton/Bourne was a great opening contest, obvious man went over and glad the Christian/Bourne feud isn't over. Digging the use of Dr. Shelby and the R-Truth stuff continues to be funny. PTP winning is fine, would love for an Usos push though. Digging Ryder's promo. Yes! Ziggler finally with the clean, huge victory! Big for his push. Hoping for Christian to win next week. Surprised to see Divas promo time but I liked it. Pushing Natalya is something I'm always game for. Rhodes/Orton build=boner. Bray Wyatt also=boner. Cesaro winning was obvious, liked the pre-match promo. Miz winning was obvious but I'm sure the LI crowd would've gone bonkers for Ryder. Miz/Punk in TLC should be great given their history. Another really solid edition of Raw.

| WWE NXT | June 20th, 2012 | Winter Park, FL |
- After the opening video package, cameras scanned the audience here in Full Sail University as William Regal and Byron Saxton welcomed everyone to WWE NXT. In case anyone missed it, in a WWE.com exclusive, NXT General Manager Ricardo Rodriguez announced that on July 11th, NXT will present the first ever pay per view broadcasted exclusively on WWE.com. Headlining the iPPV will be the first ever defense of the NXT Championship. And tonight, champion Damien Sandow will be allowed to name his own opponent for July 11th. Plus, the qualifying matches for the Elimination Chase continue as Richie Steamboat will take on JTG.
- The theme of Summer Rae hit as she made her way out to a very hostile audience. Along side her was WWE Diva Tamina, who attacked Paige last week during her match with Summer. The former assistant General Manager grabbed a microphone, saying that since Summer is in full effect, it's only fitting that she kicked off the show. "Because the Summer sun shines bright on me, and I glow in it. Unlike other people whose skin has never been exposed to a Summer sun," she said in reference to her rival, Paige. Summer said that last week, Paige attempted to end her career. Her ruthless attitude in the ring could have cost the WWE a valuable future entity. But, have no fear, because that was not the case. "My job, my career, and most of all, my looks are still intact! Because I enlisted the help of someone who can match Paige's aggression. That being WWE Diva, Tamina." The audience booed as Summer said that Paige would be an idiot to try and pull one on the two of them. At that moment, the theme of Paige hit to a massive pop from the Full Sail audience. After getting into the ring, she quickly came face to face with Tamina. Paige told her that her allegiance is rather sad. "You have all of the talent in the world, yet you choose to align yourself with...her," said Paige as she looked at Summer in disgust. "And let me get something straight, Summer. You refused to hire me because I didn't fit the mold of a 'Diva.' But you're more than happy to give an opportunity to Tamina? Right, because she fits the Diva mold better than anyone else," said Paige. Tamina took Summer's microphone, taking her turn to speak. "Paige, what you need to understand is that Summer can identify talent. And she can tell that I'm the future of the Diva's division, while you will be left to rot here on NXT." Paige said that Summer having an eye for talent may be the most ironic thing she's ever heard. "Considering your only talent has nothing to do with wrestling," said Paige as Summer looked furious. Paige smiled, telling Summer to go ahead and hit her. Instead, Summer and Tamina left the ring as the audience booed them. Summer could be heard telling Tamina that Paige isn't worth their time. "Fine. Someday, you two will be mine. But if that day can't be tonight, then send someone else out here because I have a lot of frustrations to let out," said Paige. Summer and Tamina left to the back as the Anti Diva remained in the ring, hungry for competition.
- COMMERCIAL BREAK
- PAIGE DEF. CAYLEE TURNER: Returning from the commercial break, Caylee Turner was shown making her entrance, but was instantly taken down by Paige as the bell sounded. The Anti Diva would go on to dominate Caylee throughout the entire match. At one point, cameras showed Summer Rae and Tamina watching from a TV monitor backstage. In the end, Paige planted Caylee with RamPaige to get the victory.
- The audience popped as Paige stood to her feet, letting out a primal scream as she celebrated her victory. Despite coming out on top, Paige was still not content as her true targets are Summer and Tamina.
- Backstage, several NXT superstars were shown in the locker room as Damien Sandow walked in, asking for complete silence. "Thank you. As you gentlemen are aware, tonight I will be revealing to the world who I have selected to be the recipient of the first ever opportunity at my NXT Championship on July 11th at NXT's first internet pay per view. Long before this evening, my decision has been finalized. And observing the scenery before me, I can see that my opponent is not present in this room. And that should not present itself as a surprise. Good day to you all," said Sandow as he attempted to leave. Suddenly, Mike Dalton stood up, asking Sandow what that was supposed to mean? "Good day to you all, as in have a wonderful evening. Sleep peacefully," said the NXT Champion. Dalton said that he was referring to when he said that that nobody should be surprised that his opponent isn't in the room. "Well isn't it obvious? Nobody in this room possesses a fraction of the talent that is required to be scheduled in a competitive match with someone as highly educated and talented as myself, especially for a coveted championship." Dalton stood up for himself and the rest of the locker room, saying that every person in NXT is talented enough to not only beat him in a match, but take his championship. "Is that a threat, young Michael?" asked Sandow. Dalton said that it's not a threat, but a challenge. A challenge to meet him one on one tonight. "See for yourself that you shouldn't underestimate not just me, but everyone who has busted their ass to get here." The locker room applauded Dalton as Sandow cleared his throat. "My time here has reached its expiration. Perhaps one day, one of you will have gained the necessary talents and abilities to compete against me. But until then, never speak to me in such an obscene manner. Good day to you all....all but you, young Michael," said Sandow as he exited the room.
- COMMERCIAL BREAK
- At this time, the RAW Rebound was shown. At No Way Out, assistant General Manager Brad Maddox shocked the world by not only aligning himself with the Miz, but aiding him in becoming the new WWE Champion. Because of a family emergency, Ric Flair was absent from both No Way Out and RAW this past Monday, leaving no justice to be served. Mick Foley filled in for Flair, however, and presented Zack Ryder with the opportunity to become WWE Champion in his hometown. After involvement from Maddox, Miz managed to defeat Ryder. Following that, Foley made a huge announcement regarding TLC. The Miz will defend his WWE Championship against the other man Maddox screwed, CM Punk, in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match.
- ELIMINATION CHASE QUALIFIER - RICHIE STEAMBOAT DEF. JTG W/ BIG E LANGSTON: A very solid bout here with the winner going on to join Alex Riley in the Elimination Chase to crown a No. 1 contender, which will begin on July 11th at the NXT iPPV. JTG took a bit too much time gloating to the audience as Steamboat was able to roll him up in a small package to get the victory.
- Steamboat quickly rolled out of the ring as the audience popped for his victory. Big E Langston tried to go after Steamboat, but couldn't as he stood tall in victory on the stage. JTG looked on in shock and disappointment, knowing that his opportunity at the NXT Championship has slipped away.
- Backstage, NXT Champion Damien Sandow was shown roaming the hallways when he stopped by General Manager Ricardo Rodriguez. Ricardo said that he saw Sandow's confrontation earlier with Mike Dalton. "'Twas not a confrontation. The meeting between young Michael and myself was simply an ignoramus displaying his pretentious human qualities," said Sandow. Ricardo said that whatever it was, he was very impressed. "It took a lot of courage for Dalton to stand up to you the way he did, which is why I'm granting him his match with you tonight." Sandow as irate, asking Ricardo if he was delusional? "You dare put your reigning and defending champion in a match with his first ever title defense on the horizon?" asked Sandow. Ricardo said that the iPPV isn't for another few weeks, and he knows who is opponent is already. "Think of it as a warm up. Unless, Dalton were to defeat you," said Ricardo. "No such thing will come to fruition. Well played, Mr. Rodriguez. I will compete against young Michael tonight, and not only abase him, but the NXT roster as a whole," said Sandow as he continued on.
- COMMERCIAL BREAK
- Returning to NXT, a promo was shown for the newest addition to the roster, Raquel Diaz. Following that, Sofia Cortez was shown backstage watching a TV monitor as Briley Pierce approached her, asking for her thoughts on Raquel Diaz? Sofia said that judging by the video, Raquel has the wrong attitude. "She hasn't even stepped foot into NXT, and she already thinks she owns the place. So maybe, I'm going to have to beat the right attitude into her. Since her debut is next week, I'm issuing a challenge to her," said Sofia.
- COREY GRAVES AND JAKE CARTER DEF. JIRO AND SAKAMOTO: A good tag team bout here. After isolating Jiro on the outside, Carter and Graves hit Sakamoto with Bottom's Up to get the victory.
- The audience booed as Carter and Graves stood to their feet, raising their arms in victory. The two weren't finished as they continued to assault Sakamoto despite the bout being over. Suddenly, WWE superstar Yoshi Tatsu hit the ring. Carter and Graves quickly escaped as Yoshi tended to Sakamoto while keeping his eye on the two. Carter and Graves left up the ramp confused, as was everyone else as to what Yoshi Tatsu was doing here.
- Backstage, Big E Langston was shown walking around when JTG could be heard calling his name. "Big E! Where were you tonight, homie?! I lost! That's coming out of my paycheck, which means it's coming out of yours too," said JTG as Big E became defensive. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, it's okay, though. Because we got our chance at redemption next week. It's us against the Usos," said JTG. Big E said that next week, the Usos will see first hand just how dominate he can be.
- Cutting to another camera, Mike Dalton was shown making his way down to the ring. He meets NXT Champion Damien Sandow, next.
- COMMERCIAL BREAK
- A promo was shown for TLC: Tables, Ladders, and Chairs, live Sunday July 15th, only on pay per view.
- NXT CHAMPION DAMIEN SANDOW DEF. MIKE DALTON: A great match to close out tonight's edition of NXT. Dalton issues this challenge earlier tonight, and was able to surprise Sandow by nearly getting the victory many times. After Dalton failed to connect with a Crossbody, Sandow picked him up and planted him with the Terminus to get the victory.
- Sandow stood to his feet following the match, being handed back his NXT Championship. He then asked for a microphone and silence from the audience. "Throughout the course of this entire evening, there has been immense anticipation in regards to who I have chosen to defend my coveted NXT Championship against at the internet pay per view on July 11th. So at this time, it is my honor to introduce you all to the man fortunate enough to receive such a great honor......Kassius Ohno!" The audience booed as Ohno made his way down to the ring after being named the new No. 1 contender. Sandow told Ohno that since the inception of NXT from Full Sail University, he has observed him closely. "Your career is certainly remarkable. A world renowned resume, a spot in the King of the Ring, and the ability to come adjacently close to being triumphant over John Cena makes for a winner in my book. And I will be honored to defend my NXT Championship against you on July 11th." Sandow extended his hand out to Ohno, who accepted the shake, making the their championship match official. Ohno then left up the entrance ramp as Sandow looked on from the ring. Suddenly, he was attacked from behind by Seth Rollins. Rollins, who was denied a title shot, brawled with Sandow as several officials ran down to the ring to pull them apart. Ohno watched from the stage, pleased with the fact that Sandow may not be at a 100% come July 11th if Rollins is able to have his way.

| Friday Night SmackDown! | June 22nd, 2012 | Baltimore, MD |
[/b][/color][/center][/td][/tr][/table] WWE Superstars 6/14 Taping Results
Johnny Curtis def. Derrick Bateman
Layla and Alicia Fox def. The Bella Twins[/center] - Following the signature WWE intro, we cut directly to the arena here in Baltimore. SmackDown General Manager Teddy Long was shown in the ring already, Tony Chimel introducing him to the WWE Universe. Teddy welcomed everyone to Friday Night SmackDown, receiving a fair pop. He said that coming out of No Way Out this Sunday, people were buzzing about SmackDown. And that is because the main event of SummerSlam is now set, and will be made official with a contract signing tonight. "At the biggest party of the Summer, Randy Orton will defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Cody Rhodes!" Teddy then said that along with that, he has another big announcement to make. And that is that on both July 6th and July 13th, Friday Night SmackDown will be presented live on SyFy! The audience popped at that announcement as Teddy thanked everyone for their time, hoping they enjoy the show. As Teddy was leaving the ring, pyro blasted from the stage as the lights shut. The theme of Kane hit as the Big Red Monster marched down to the stage. The lights were still dimmed, but the fear in Teddy's face could be seen. Kane stepped into the ring as he removed his metal mask. He told the frightened Teddy that none of those announcements are anything significant. What he wants to know is when will he receive his shot at the World Heavyweight Championship? Slowly, Teddy informed Kane that he isn't in line for an opportunity. Kane grasped Teddy's throat, attempting to choke the life out of the SmackDown General Manager. Kane asked Teddy once again when he will get his shot at the World Heavyweight Title? Teddy was unable to answer as he looked to be fading away, eyes nearly popping out of his head. Kane yelled at Teddy, telling him that he's hopeless. "No one is going to save you! Give me my title shot, and perhaps I will spare you a few deep breathes!" Kane continued to shout at Teddy until the crowd erupted at the sound of "Feed me!" Ryback made his way out to the stage as Kane released the hold he had on Teddy. The undefeated Ryback marched down to the ring, meeting Kane face to face. It was as if Ryback was telling Kane that if he wanted to pick a fight with someone, do it to someone his own size. "Feed me more!" the crowd chanted repeatedly as the two monsters stared down one another. Moments later, Kane stepped away from Ryback and exited the ring. He made his way up the ramp as some official checked on Teddy, Ryback still keeping his sights on the Big Red Monster.
- COMMERCIAL BREAK
- Returning to SmackDown, a recap of the opening segment was shown as Ryback saved SmackDown General Manager Teddy Long from the clutches of Kane. Teddy was assisted to the back during the commercial break, but Ryback has remained in the ring, looking for competition.
- RYBACK DEF. CURT HAWKINS AND TYLER REKS: Ryback wanted to get his hands on Kane, but had to settle for Hawkins and Reks. Ryback lifted Reks up in Gorilla Press position, sending him over the top rope and onto the floor. He then hoisted Hawkins up to his shoulders, planting him with Shell Shocked to get the victory.
- The audience popped as Ryback stood his feet, raising his arms in victory. Rather than shouting "Feed me more!" like usual, the undefeated monster shouted "Feed me Kane!" The audience joined in on the chant as Ryback is letting it be known that he wants a shot at the Big Red Monster.
- A graphic was shown for the contract signing tonight between World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes for their match at SummerSlam.
- COMMERCIAL BREAK
- Returning to SmackDown, the commentary trio of Michael Cole, Josh Mathews, and Booker T gave an update on Rey Mysterio, who was unable to respond after being put through the announce table at No Way Out by the WWE Tag Team Champions, Ted DiBiase and Michael McGillicutty. Cole stated that Rey has no serious injuries, but did receive some spinal bruising. Rey is not here tonight, and neither is his tag team partner, Sin Cara.
- Backstage, Matt Striker was standing by with the WWE Tag Team Champions, Ted DiBiase and Michael McGillicutty. Striker asked the duo if they feel any remorse over what they did to Rey Mysterio at No Way Out. DiBiase asked why they should feel any remorse? "We accomplished what we set out to do. We said we would end either Mysterio or Sin Cara's careers, and we may have lived up to that. On top of that, we remained the WWE Tag Team Champions, just we said we would." McGillicutty added that this past Sunday, they made a huge impact. "But we're not done yet. If you want an impact, watch what we do tonight," said McGillicutty as he and DiBiase left the interview set.
- INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION ANTONIO CESARO DEF. YOSHI TATSU: The Intercontinental Champion was still out to prove that no superstar from any portion of the world can defeat. Yoshi Tatsu, representing Japan, had his opportunity tonight. However, he failed to get the job after Cesaro hit him with the Swiss Death Uppercut on a Springboard attempt, then planting him with the Neutralizer to get the victory.
- The audience showed their displeasure for the finish as Cesaro raised his Intercontinental Championship in the air, kicking dust from the canvas onto Tatsu. Thus far, Cesaro has been successful in proving that he is superior to any superstar from any country.
- Backstage, Daniel Bryan was shown making his way down to the ring. After the events over the past week between he and AJ Lee, Bryan will address the WWE Universe, next.
- COMMERCIAL BREAK
- A promo was shown for this Monday's edition of RAW. RAW General Manager Ric Flair will be making his return after dealing with a family emergency. How will the Nature Boy respond to the actions of his assistant Brad Maddox during his absence? Monday Night RAW, live next Monday on USA.
- Returning to SmackDown, Ryback was shown walking backstage as Matt Striker approached him, asking for a reason as two why he decided to confront Kane earlier? Ryback said that the fire that ignites Kane has been burning for far too long. It's time for the fire to be extinguished, the ashes to be feasted on. "Feed me Kane! Feed me Kane!" shouted Ryback repeatedly as the crowd could be heard joining in on the chant.
- At this time, the theme of Daniel Bryan hit. He made his way out to the stage, the audience chanting "Yes!" repeatedly. Bryan was not in the mood for any shenanigans tonight, not chanting the phrase himself as he made his way down to the ring. He grabbed a microphone, saying that this past week was supposed to have been the best of his life. Last Friday, he was supposed to marry the love of his life, AJ Lee. And this past Sunday at No Way Out, he was supposed to defeat Randy Orton and Dean Ambrose in a Steel Cage match to become the new World Heavyweight Champion. But neither of those came to fruition. "And it's all thanks to one person. That being the woman who I thought would be at my side. Who would stand with me through everything. At our wedding, she left him at the alter. And at No Way Out, she ran off with, literally, my key to victory. The woman who I was ready to call my wife screwed me over!" he shouted angrily. Before he could continue, the theme of AJ hit as she made her way out to the stage, skipping down to the ring. "Daniel, let's make something clear. Did I screw you over?" she asked. "Yes!" shouted Bryan. "No, actually," said AJ. The traded "Yes!" and "No!" repeatedly as the audience joined AJ. She told Bryan that he screwed himself over. "You were exposed to the world last week as you admitted what you were trying to gain out of marrying me. You never loved me. You never cared for me. All you loved and cared for was the World Heavyweight Championship, and you were willing to do anything to get it back. And I was blind the entire time, because I considered you to be my soul mate. But it took visual evidence for me to find the error of my ways. I now see your true colors, Daniel. And I stood up for myself at No Way Out. And I don't care if it cost you the World Title." The audience applauded AJ as Bryan stared at her. "You want to stand up for yourself, AJ? Well then, be careful what you wish for. Because you're going to get the opportunity to stand up for yourself. Next week, you will step into the ring and go one on one.........with me!" The audience gasped as AJ looked confused. Bryan was all smiles, telling AJ that he'll see her next week. He left the ring, this time shouting "Yes!" as AJ seemed both puzzled and frightened.
- COMMERCIAL BREAK
- Returning from the break, SmackDown General Manager Teddy Long was shown walking around the backstage area, calling Daniel Bryan's name as he coughed a few times, still feeling the affects of Kane's chokehold earlier. He soon met Bryan, asking if he were out of his mind? "You can't put yourself in a match with AJ Lee next week. I won't allow it to happen," said Teddy. Bryan told him that unfortunately for him, this decision is out of his power. "I got the match approved by a representative of the Board of Directors," revealed Bryan. Teddy was caught off guard by the news as Bryan told him that whether he likes it or not, AJ Lee's scrawny, puny body will be snapped in half on his show next week.
- TENSAI DEF. JUSTIN GABRIEL: Despite the clear size disadvantage, Gabriel was resilient and took everything he had to Tensai. In the end, the power of Tensai was too much for the Capetown Werewolf, to overcome, finishing him off with a Sitout Chokebomb.
- Tensai stood to his feet, raising his arms in victory. However, he was not finished yet. He picked Gabriel, applying a Clawhold to his face. Tensai let out several shouts as he grasped the front skull of Gabriel. Soon, the theme of Sheamus hit as the audience erupted. Sheamus, who had not been seen since Tensai put him through the announce table, hit the ring the ring and went right after Tensai, taking him down with a Running Shoulder Block. Sheamus then targeted Michael Cole, rushing over to the announce table and actually getting a few strikes in. Tensai pulled Sheamus away from Cole as the mammoths went at it at ringside. Several officials hit the scene to pull apart the two of them, Sheamus breaking free and taking Tensai out with a Brogue Kick. The Great White stood tall over Tensai, making a successful return with his sights set on revenge.
- A graphic was shown for the contract signing between World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes for their match at SummerSlam, still to come later tonight.
- COMMERCIAL BREAK
- A promo was shown for the 1000th episode of RAW, featuring Stephanie McMahon looking back on the series of training segments between Mr. McMahon and Shane McMahon as her father prepared to enter the 1999 Royal Rumble. RAW 1000 is live July 23rd on USA.
- Returning to SmackDown, AJ Lee was shown backstage speaking to someone off camera. "I don't regret anything I did to Daniel, even if it has resulted in this match. But I can't compete against him. It's not fair, and I know that he's ready to go out there and kill me. So I'm just asking you, please be there for me next week." The camera zoomed out to show Dean Ambrose. "AJ, I may have issues with Daniel Bryan. And hell, all of this may be my fault since I aired his little confession. But I'm not going to fight your battles for you. I'll deal with Bryan another time. Not during your time to deal with him." Ambrose left the scene, making his way out the ring as he is in action right now.
- DEAN AMBROSE DEF. HEATH SLATER: Dean Ambrose is still a heel at this moment, though the crowd reactions as of late my say otherwise. The WWE Universe was fully behind the Psychotic Superstar as he went up against the One Man Band. In what was actually a very good match between two young stars, Ambrose was able to put Slater away with a Vertebreaker to get the victory.
- A mixed reaction emerged for Ambrose as he stood to his feet, standing tall in victory to rebound from the loss at No Way Out. Suddenly, he was attacked from behind by Daniel Bryan. He stomped on Ambrose before kicking him out of the ring. Bryan then picked up a steel chair, repeatedly striking Ambrose in the back with it, a scene very similar to No Way Out. Bryan picked up a microphone, telling Ambrose that he made a wise decision just now when he told AJ that she needs to fight her own battles. "But remember, you're the reason this whole situation is where it is now! You ruined my wedding, and ultimately ruined my chances at becoming World Heavyweight Champion! So know this, Ambrose. I am far from finished with you," said Bryan before lifting the chair over his head, striking Ambrose one more time with it. He raised the chair while standing over Ambrose, shouting "Yes!" as the audience showered him with boos.
- Backstage, Cody Rhodes was shown walking down a corridor. The 2012 King of the Ring winner and No. 1 contender to the World Heavyweight Champion will sign the contract for SummerSlam with Randy Orton, next.
- COMMERCIAL BREAK
- A promo was shown for TLC: Tables, Ladders, and Chairs, live Sunday July 15th, only on pay per view.
- Returning to SmackDown, a graphic was shown with a huge announcement from the office of Teddy Long. Next week, Ryback will receive his wish as he goes one on one with the Big Red Monster, Kane.
- Cutting to the arena here in Baltimore, the ring shown ready for the contract signing between World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes. The 2012 King of the Ring winner made his way out first to a heated crowd response. Rhodes stepped into the ring, quickly flipping through the contract for the biggest match of his career at SummerSlam. Cody patiently waited as the audience chanted for Orton. To the surprise of everyone, the theme of Chris Jericho it instead. Y2J made his way down to the ring, meeting the man who defeated him this past Sunday at No Way Out. "Jericho, let it go. You're not getting another shot at my title shot. I won King of the Ring, I beat you, it's mine," said Cody. Jericho said that he's actually not here to challenge him to another match. He's out here to congratulate Cody on his victory at No Way Out. "You beat me. The SummerSlam title shot is yours. You deserve it, and honestly, I hope you do capture the title at SummerSlam," said Jericho. Cody seemed very surprised at the hospitality of Jericho. "I'll let you have your moment, Cody. But I want to make something clear. As I take a step back and watch you on your road to SummerSlam, I'll remember our battles. I'll keep it in the back of my mind that you have two victories over me, overpowering the one that I have over you. When I come back, I expect to see you with the World Heavyweight Title around your waist. And it will all be for the purpose of me evening the score and taking it from you." Jericho set the microphone down on the table as he exited the ring, sending a clear message to Cody Rhodes.
- As Jericho made his way up the entrance ramp, the theme of Randy Orton hit as the World Heavyweight Champion made his way out to a huge ovation. He and Jericho crossed paths on the stage, taking a moment to stare at one another. Jericho continued on as Orton did same, heading to the ring. He met Cody face to face as the two are ready to make their match at SummerSlam official. Cody reminded Orton what happened five years ago when they met each other for the first time. "You slapped me across my face. And at that moment, I knew that I would one day, I would humiliate you. And that day comes at SummerSlam when I defeat you on one of the WWE's biggest stages and take your World Heavyweight Championship," said Cody. Orton told him that if he was so set on revenge, then why did he follow him around like a leach for almost two years? "In Legacy, I controlled you like a puppet. Pulling your strings to do whatever command I ordered. You did eventually show a bit of a rebellious attitude, but I punted it out of you. And I'll do the same at SummerSlam and crush your World Heavyweight Championship dreams," said Orton. Cody then signed the contract, telling Orton that he shoulder understand what he's getting into if he signs the dotted line. "You won't be passing the torch to me. I'm taking it. I will kill the Legend Killer, de-venomize the Viper.....bring an end to the Age of Orton." Orton didn't care for any of Cody's words as he signed the contract. The match is now set. The two of them will meet at SummerSlam for the World Heavyweight Championship.
- Cody made his way out of the ring as Orton raised the World Heavyweight Championship to let him know what SummerSlam will be all about. Cody walked up to the entrance ramp as Orton climbed onto the second turnbuckle, raising the title for the fans in attendance. Suddenly, Orton was ambushed in the ring by the WWE Tag Team Champions, Ted DiBiase and Michael McGillicutty. Orton tried to fight back, but the numbers advantage that DiBiase and McGillicutty had was too much for him to overcome. DiBiase and McGillicutty then drove Orton through the table that was used for the contract signing. The WWE Tag Team Champions stood tall over the World Heavyweight Champion as Cody looked on from the stage, grinning and laughing.

Cannot wait for Rhodes/Orton as it should be awesome. Ryback/Kane has potential as well. I love how McGillicutty and Dibiase look as Champions, they seem very strong. Cesaro beating wrestlers from all around the world is a fantastic idea and I can see it leading to a big feud with an international superstar. Bryan/AJ will be interesting, wonder how it will play out and curious about who this board of directors member is. Sheamus/Tensai is something I'm not interested in at all. Probably due to my lack of interest in all things Tensai. Intrigued in AJ coming to Ambrose for help. Glad Ambrose won his match. I feel like Ambrose/Bryan is going to be built up towards SummerSlam which would be epic. I like that Jericho is stepping back for a bit and would love to see their feud resume eventually. Loved the signing and the mentioning of Legacy. Rhodes saying he would kill the Legend Killer and de-venomize the Viper was great. Ending it without altercation between them was a nice twist and I'm extremely interested in seeing where this goes with McGillicutty and Dibiase. Maybe a new Legacy of sorts? All in all, an excellent edition of Smackdown.

Maybe a new Legacy is forming and if that is the case, I wonder just who the leader of the new Legacy will be, if it will be Cody Rhodes or Ted DiBiase? DiBiase and Mcgillicutty laying out my man Orton at the end of the show with Rhodes looking on laughing, it makes me wonder if a Legacy 2.0 is forming and if it is, then I am all for it
It seems Ambrose is set for a face turn and if he is, then I can definitely get behind that for sure because Ambrose keeps getting cheered despite the fact that he is a heel, since Bryan is more of a heel than Ambrose at this point, so for Bryan to attack Ambrose, loved it but Bryan may have just made a huge mistake by attacking Ambrose
Bryan/AJ feud commencing, I wonder just who the Board of Directors member was that authorized this match because I know Vince would never allow that and neither would Linda and I know Triple H the COO would not sign off on that either, so it either has to be Stephanie or a returning Shane
Why AJ would turn to Dean Ambrose of all people is something I will never understand, but I loved how he turned her down but really happy that he won his match against Slater
Tensai wins again by beating Gabriel, picking up momentum again and again until Sheamus derails him, I really want to see Tensai and Sheamus go at it and what better way for them to go at it than at TLC
Cesaro beats Tatsu, just goes to show how dominant of a WWE United States Champion he is by beating superstars from all over the world of different nationalities, he's just on a major roll right now especially after beating Big Show but I really want to see Cesaro feud with a newly-turned-face Swagger because that is the feud everyone wants to see apparently because they believe Swagger can beat Cesaro
And a Ryback/Kane feud, this is like my dream feud right here, this is a dream match-up, something I really want to see because Ryback is undefeated and Kane is the perfect person for Ryback to be really tested in terms of questioning whether or not Ryback's undefeated streak will either stay in tact or if it will end
Mentioning Legacy too was great as well as mentioning the first time Orton and Rhodes ever met back in 2007, nice nod to their history together and then Rhodes mentioning how he was going to de-venomize the Viper and kill the legend of the Legend Killer by bringing an end to the Age of Orton, loved it
Great Smackdown and I cannot wait until SummerSlam but that begs the question of just who Orton will face at TLC

Fine episode of Smackdown. A few things:
- I see Ryback is getting a steady push, and I can see him being a big name on Smackdown. I hope you steadily bring him into the title picture and don't just thrust him there just to kill off his heat.
- I'm a little concerned about the announe AJ vs. Bryan match. I guess we'll just have to see how it proceeds next week, if it even happens. Then again maybe Ambrose will get involved to prolong their feud.
- So you're having a Sheamus vs. Tensai feud? Not sure what to makeif it, though I didn't mind Sheamus roughing Cole up a little.
- I expected the Rhodes/Orton contract signing to end with some sort of brawl like they usually do and you didn't disappoint. You're doing a nice job building up the title match for SummerSlam but Jericho's involvement has me thinking that he just may still weasel his way into the match somehow. I'm really hoping you just keep the match one-on-one, but with a pay-per-view to go until then, who knows.
Overall another nice job here.

| Monday Night RAW | June 25th, 2012 | Fort Wayne, IN |
Derrick Bateman def. Curt Hawkins
Drew McIntyre def. Jimmy Uso
- Following the signature intro, we were taken straight to the arena here in Fort Wayne. Justin Roberts introduced assistant RAW General Manager Brad Maddox and WWE Champion the Miz as the audience showered the duo with boos. Miz said that last week, a delusional, senile, and just plain idiotic Mick Foley took over control of RAW due to General Manager Ric Flair's absence. And what did Foley do? He abused his power. "Just 24 hours after competing in a Steel Cage match, I was forced to defend my WWE Championship against Zack Ryder. And if that wasn't enough, Foley took it upon himself to place me in another title defense. This time, it will be against CM Punk in three weeks at TLC in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match." The audience popped as Miz smirked, expecting everyone to react in that manner. "But despite all of that, there's nothing to worry about. I beat CM Punk already at No Way Out, and I did it to become the new WWE Champion. And while a part of me believes that forcing me to defend my title in a TLC match is a bit unfair, the other part can't wait. Can't wait for the world to finally see the truth unfold before their very eyes. Everyone will see for themselves that I am better than the 'Best in the World' when I am standing over him on top of a ladder with the WWE Championship still in my possession." Miz then said that while he will be declared the official "Best in the World" at TLC, someone else will be allowed to claim the name "2nd Best in the World." Miz revealed that with Ric Flair's absence from RAW, he has taken over the duty of training and preparing Brad Maddox to become a WWE superstar.
- The boos for the Miz soon became cheers as the theme of CM Punk hit. The No. 1 contender for the WWE Championship made his way down to the ring, taking a microphone and meeting Miz and Maddox face to face. "You know something? I find it pretty ironic how you, Maddox, somehow expect to gain any wrestling ability from the man who possess none himself." A loud "ooh" came from the audience as Miz simply laughed off the comment. "Because someone without any wrestling ability would be holding the most prestigious wrestling championship in the world, right?" asked Miz. Punk said that there's a simply explanation for why Miz is the WWE Champion. "You've been handed it, just like you've been handed everything else your entire career. Did you deserve a spot on the WWE roster? No, but you got it anyways. Did you deserve to be the breakout star of your team with John Morrison? No, but you were anyways. Did you deserve the United States Championship, Tag Team Championship, and Money In The Bank? No, but you were handed them anyways. And what pisses me off more than anything is not just the fact that you're a two-time WWE Champion, but you main evented WrestleMania XXVII. You took what should have been my spot out there. And maybe, if I were in the main event, I wouldn't have been an afterthought in the shadow of John Cena and Dwayne." The audience cheered on Punk as he continued to berate Miz. "But at TLC, I'm going to right the wrongs. I'm going to take what you never deserved. What you were simply handed by corporate suited stooges. What should be mine - the WWE Championship. And in the process, I will bring not only justice to the WWE, but to the world of professional wrestling. For those who were light years ahead of you, but never got the opportunities you did. Ricky Steamboat, Curt Hennig, 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper. I'm doing it for them. For myself, who was screwed over at No Way Out thanks to a man whose 'rags to riches' story involves him becoming a product of the machine. I'm doing it for me."
- "Punk, do I sense a bit of jealousy in your tone," asked Miz. Punk laughed to himself, but Miz was persistent. "You are jealous. You're jealous that I'm not only the center of attention in the WWE, but in the world as well. I mean, it would pretty difficult to not be jealous of me. I have a movie on the way, paparazzi follows my every move, I can't leave my house without being swarmed by people. Face it, Punk. You want my life. You want" - WOOO!! Miz stopped instantly as the audience erupted. RAW General Manager Ric Flair made his way out to the stage, making an appearance for the first time since he left due to a family emergency at No Way Out. However, the Nature Boy didn't look to be in the best of moods. He said that after he got the phone call saying that his daughter was in a car accident, he didn't know what to think. "All I wanted to do was get the hell out of the building and get on the first flight home. I got home, and found out that my daughter was fine, and that there was no accident." The complexion of everything changed from that point. "And I thought to myself 'why the hell would anyone lie about something so serious?' It had to be someone who had so much to gain from me not being at No Way Out. Or maybe....two people who had so much to gain." The audience caught on to what Flair was insinuating as Miz and Maddox both looked a bit uneasy. "You can deny it all you want, Brad. I know it was you who called in a fake accident. And from there, you and the Miz plotted and he became the WWE Champion. By doing that, you crossed the line in a business matter. But when you decided to get my family involved, you crossed the line in a personal family. And Brad!" shouted Flair as he removed his blazer. "I saw something in you. I thought that you had a future in this business. I thought you were smart. But you threw it all away! And not just that, but you got my family involved. And when you mess with another man's family, you get your ass kicked!" Maddox tried to talk, but Flair cut him off. "You shut your mouth when I'm talking to you. I don't care how little or how much Miz has taught you. Tonight, you're getting in that ring, Brad! And you're walking down the isle against he Nature Boy!" The audience erupted at the announcement that RAW General Manager and assistant General Manager will meet in the ring tonight. "But this isn't a match. This is going to be a fight! And after I beat the crap out of you all over this building, I will take this microphone and fire your ass!" Maddox couldn't believe anything he was hearing as Punk smiled back at him, knowing that he would get what he deserved tonight. Flair told Miz to stay in the ring, because as WWE Champion, he expects him to compete anywhere and anytime. So he'll be in action next. Flair left to the back as Punk sarcastically waved goodbye to Brad Maddox.
- COMMERCIAL BREAK
- Returning to Monday Night RAW, WWE Champion the Miz was shown still in the ring as prior to the break, RAW General Manager Ric Flair made a huge announcement. He and Brad Maddox will fight in the ring tonight, and following that, Maddox will be fired. But for now, Miz is left to compete against a mystery opponent.
- WWE CHAMPION THE MIZ DEF. KOFI KINGSTON: Despite the announcement that Brad Maddox will be fired tonight, Miz was able to keep his mind straight and focus on the task at hand. Kofi also put up a great fight, showing he can hang with the top stars on RAW. After Kofi failed to successfully hit Trouble In Paradise, Miz attempted to lock him in position for the Skull Crushing Finale, but Kofi was able to fight out of it. He charged towards Miz, who moved out of the way as Kofi bounced his chest off of the ropes. Miz was then able to hit the Skull Crushing Finale, covering Kofi to get the victory.
- Miz rolled to the outside of the ring as he was handed back his WWE Championship. The Awesome One, however, was clearly in no mood to celebrate as he still has to face the fact that tonight, RAW assistant GM Brad Maddox will be fired after his fight with Ric Flair.
- COMMERCIAL BREAK
- A promo was shown for the 1000th episode of RAW, featuring General Manager Ric Flair looking back on his retirement celebration following WrestleMania XXIV.
- Backstage, R-Truth was shown walking around and talking to the imaginary Lil' Jimmy. He soon met David Otunga, thanking him for taking him to see Dr. Shelby. "I feel much better than before now that I don't have Malaysia anymore," said Truth. "I think you mean 'amnesia,'" said Otunga to correct him. He then told Truth that he hopes his head is on straight because they have a tag match this Friday on SmackDown. Truth said that he can't wait for SmackDown, since it will be Lil' Jimmy's first time seeing him wrestle. "You know what? I think I'm gonna give Lil' Jimmy a tour around RAW!" said Truth as he left the scene, Otunga looking a bit concerned that the therapy sessions may not have helped him at all.
- BRODUS CLAY DEF. JINDER MAHAL: Mid-way through the match, Bray Wyatt made his way out to the stage. He didn't get involved in the match, though. He simply sat in a rocking chair, rocking back and forth while watching. Brodus didn't allow Wyatt to distract, putting Jinder away with a Running Splash to get the victory.
- Following the match, Brodus was joined in the ring by the Funkadactyls. None of them were in a celebratory mood as Bray Wyatt watched them from his rocking chair, laughing maniacally.
- Backstage, Brad Maddox was shown in the locker room area packing his bags as tonight will be his final night on the WWE roster. WWE Champion the Miz soon walked in as Maddox said that they needed to talk. Miz forced the camera crew out of the room as he shut the door.
- Cutting to another camera, Christian was shown making his way down to the ring. He meets United States Championship Evan Bourne with a title shot on the line, next.
- COMMERCIAL BREAK
- A promo was shown for this Friday's edition of SmackDown. A match that no one ever expected to witness takes place as Daniel Bryan takes on his former fiance, AJ Lee. Friday Night SmackDown, this Friday on SyFy.
- Returning to RAW, Christian was shown making his way down to the ring as he looks to even the score against Evan Bourne, as well as earn another opportunity at the United States Championship. Bourne was out next. However, the United States Champion made his way out on crutches. He told Christian that he would love nothing more than to go down to the ring and beat him to the point where he wouldn't even want a shot at his United States Championship. However, that won't be happening tonight. "I'm not only the best superstar on the roster, I'm also the most famous. I'm all over the world. And this past weekend, I was invited to play basketball with the new NBA Champions, the Miami Heat." Boos emerged from the audience as Indiana's team, the Pacers, were eliminated from championship contention via the Heat. "And during all of that, I sprained my ankle. And I was told by a representative of the Board of Directors that due to my sudden injury, our match will be postponed until next week." Bourne made his way to the back, leaving Christian in the ring without an opponent. "And I used to be called a b***h," said Christian as the audience laughed along with him. Captain Charisma said that if Bourne wants to hide for another week, that's fine. Because it doesn't matter when their match happens. He knows he'll win and go on to become the new United States Champion. But until then, he didn't come out here for no reason. He's still looking for some competition. And if anyone in the back is looking for the same, they don't have to look any further.
- DOLPH ZIGGLER DEF. CHRISTIAN: Mr. Money In The Bank, Dolph Ziggler was quick to accept the challenge of Christian as the two put on a fantastic first hour main event. With Ziggler coming off of a huge victory over John Cena last week, he had all of the momentum in the world. As Christian was coming off the top rope with a Flying Forearm, Ziggler was able to counter it into a Zig Zag to get the victory.
- The audience booed as Ziggler stood to his feet, raising his arms in victory as he has scored another huge victory for the second week in a row. He was handed back his Money In The Bank briefcase as the theme of John Cena hit. He made his way out to the stage to a mixed reaction as Ziggler took a microphone. "Let me guess, John. You want a rematch. You can't stand the fact that last week, I proved for a fact that you're old news and I am the now of the WWE. That I am the future face of the company while you fall flat on yours and become a simply afterthought in my glorious Hall of Fame career. Well it's just too bad. There won't be a rematch. The record book will forever read that the Show Off showed you up, John." Ziggler was all smiled as Cena took his turn to speak. "News flash, genius. I beat you at No Way Out. The last time I checked the record books, we're even at one a piece. So I am looking to settle it, and we will." The audience popped as Ziggler seemed annoyed, but not concerned as he is confident that he can beat Cena again. However, his mind may have been drastically changed. "Even though he's going through a lot right now, Ric Flair was able to put a few minutes aside for me. So next week, for one final time, it's going to be me against you, Dolph. And unlike our last two meetings, this match will be a bit....different," said Cena. Ziggler told Cena that it's not going to be any different. He's still going to beat him. "You might want to let me finish, Dolph. It's going to be a TLC match!" said Cena as the audience erupted. Ziggler, though, seemed confused. "Isn't a TLC match a bit pointless? There's no title to hang above us. Unless we're hanging your career, which I'll gladly take," said Ziggler. "Oh there will be something hanging alright. There may not be a championship involved, but there is something that is close to a championship. It's more so a.......ticket to a championship." Ziggler caught on to what Cena was implying as he began to shake his head. "No, John! This is mine! I busted my ass for this, and I'm not putting it on the line!" he shouted. Cena told Ziggler that he'll probably be disappointed to hear that Ric Flair has already made the match official. "Next week, you and me. One more time in a TLC match for your Money In The Bank briefcase!" Ziggler looked to be in a state of shock in the ring as Cena was all smiles. Ziggler stared at his Money In The Bank briefcase, realizing that it may slip away from him next week as he will defend it against John Cena in a TLC match.
- COMMERCIAL BREAK
- Returning from the break, a recap of the previous segment was shown as John Cena made a huge announcement. Next week, he will meet Dolph Ziggler one more time. This time, Ziggler's Money In The Bank briefcase will be up for grabs in a TLC match. On top of that, Christian and Evan Bourne's non-title match will also take place next week after being postponed.
- Cutting to another camera, R-Truth was shown giving Lil' Jimmy a tour around RAW, taking him into the production truck. "You see, Jimmy. This is where all of the cameras are monitored." Truth toyed around with the cameras for a bit, showing the security footage from the locker rooms. The first camera Truth focused on was Santino Marella in his locker room. Santino looked around to make sure nobody was in the room, though he was unaware that he was being broadcasted on live television. He then began singing "Call Me Maybe" as the audience laughed. Truth changed the cameras, now taking us inside the van of Johnny Curtis. Curtis appeared to be playing poker with a homeless man. Things then got serious as Truth changed the cameras to invade a conversation between WWE Champion the Miz and Brad Maddox. "You said nothing would be traced back to us," said Miz. Maddox told him that there was no way to be sure. "What? Would you have liked it if I got into my car and ran over Flair's daughter myself?" asked Maddox, unaware that he just revealed he was indeed behind setting up the fake accident. Miz told him that probably would've been a way better idea. "Although, I wouldn't mind hitting Flair's daughter, you know?" said Maddox as he and Miz laughed, the two not knowing that the world was watching them.
- NO. 1 CONTENDER'S MATCH - NATALYA DEF. MAXINE AND KAITLYN: A solid Triple Threat Diva's bout here with the winner going on to challenge Eve at TLC in three weeks. In the end, Natalya was able to force Maxine to submit to the Sharpshooter.
- Natalya celebrated her victory as a graphic appeared, naming her the new No. 1 contender for the Diva's Championship. Champion Eve was shown on the stage looking on, keeping her distance after their encounter last week. Is Eve's title reign destined to come to an end at TLC?
- A graphic was shown for tonight's main event. RAW General Manager Ric Flair has challenged Brad Maddox to meet him for, not a match, but a fight.
- COMMERCIAL BREAK
- Returning to RAW, Dolph Ziggler was shown backstage, staring at his Money In The Bank briefcase. Josh Mathews approached Ziggler, asking for his thoughts on the announcement that next week, he will defend the briefcase against John Cena in a TLC match? Ziggler said that he's worked too damn hard to let go of the briefcase. "For 7 long years, I have clawed and scratched my way to the top, and I'm this close from finally reaching the peak. The peak that is limited to guys like Cena. He thinks he can just take it away from me? He's dead wrong. Anyone who thinks I'm going to let this go next week is wrong. I've let the 'top dogs' win too many times. Now, it's my time."
- JACK SWAGGER AND PRIME TIME PLAYERS W/ AW DEF. JUSTIN GABRIEL, TYSON KIDD, AND YOSHI TATSU: A very good Six Man Tag bout here. All World Promotions were given the opportunity to showcase themselves as a trio, and they did not disappoint. The aerial-based team of Gabriel, Kidd, and Tatsu were taken down when the Prime Time Players isolated Kidd and Gabriel on the outside, allowing Swagger to plant Tatsu with a Gutwrench Powerbomb to get the victory.
- Backstage, RAW General Manager Ric Flair was shown walking down a corridor as he is prepared to fight and fire his assistant, Brad Maddox. Flair was soon met by Zack Ryder, followed by CM Punk a few seconds later. They both told the GM that if things get hectic out there and he needs any help, they'll be right there for him. "I appreciate the offer, guys. But this is my battle to fight. I'm gonna kick Brad Maddox's ass, and then fire him. And I have to do it by myself. No matter what happens out there, don't try and save me." Ryder and Punk seemed willing to respect Flair's wishes as he continued on.
- COMMERCIAL BREAK
- A promo was shown for TLC: Tables, Ladders, and Chairs, live Sunday July 15th, only on pay per view.
- Returning to RAW, a graphic was shown for the match between Christian and United States Champion Evan Bourne for next week, with the stipulation that if Christian wins, he will receive another opportunity at Bourne's championship. Plus, Dolph Ziggler will defend his Money In The Bank briefcase against John Cena in a TLC match. A stacked edition of RAW is already set, live next week from Laredo.
- Cutting back to the arena, assistant General Manager Brad Maddox was shown making his way down to the ring to a chorus of boos. Maddox did not look dressed to fight, which is what Ric Flair has challenged him to. The theme of the Nature Boy hit as he made his way out to a huge ovation. He quickly marched down to the ring as Maddox tried to reason with him. "Flair, this doesn't have to go down like this. We can go to the office and simply talk. I think we can come to a better resolu-" Maddox wasn't allowed to finish as Flair delivered a quick jab to him. Flair struck Maddox with repeated shots, finally being able to get his hands on Maddox after everything he's put him through. Maddox retreated to the outside, but Flair followed him. He tossed Maddox into the steel ring post before ripping open his shirt. Flair hit him with multiple Knife Edge Chops as the audience shouted "Woo!" Flair then picked up a steel chair as he slowly approached Maddox. Flair lifted it over his head, but Maddox caught him with a low blow.
- Maddox finally got a bit of offense in as Flair dropped to the floor following the low blow. Maddox then picked up the chair, realizing he was now in the driver's seat of this fight. It didn't last long, however. As Maddox lifted the chair, Flair poked both of his eyes. Maddox was blinded as he dropped the chair. Flair knee'd him in the mid section before rolling him back into the ring. Flair picked up the chair as he went back after Maddox. The assistant RAW General Manager crawled on his hands and knees as Flair delivered a chair shot to his back. He delivered a few more, striking Maddox without any remorse. WWE Champion the Miz quickly ran down to ringside, but Flair was able to keep him out of the ring by swinging the chair at him. Flair challenged Miz to get into the ring, but the WWE Champion was hesitant. Suddenly, Flair turned around and was hit with a Big Boot from a man with long hair and a Samoan tattoo. He stared down at Flair as no one had any clue what was going on, until Cole recognized him. He identified the man as WWE developmental talent, Roman Reigns. Miz slid into the ring as he assisted Maddox to his feet. Reigns went to ringside, grabbing two chairs and sliding them into the rig. He, Miz, and Maddox all had chairs in their hands as they took turns striking Flair in his back. This continued until CM Punk, Zack Ryder, and rest of the RAW locker room hit the ring. Miz, Maddox, and Reigns all quickly evaded through the audience. The superstars tended to Flair, who was out cold from the multiple chair shots. Cole reminded everyone that Flair did not fire Brad Maddox like he had promised. Punk and Ryder stared at Miz, Maddox, and the newcomer Reigns, revenge on their minds for the Nature Boy.

Roman Reigns is here, Roman Reigns debuts by attacking the RAW GM the Nature Boy Ric Flair and Reigns saves Maddox from a beatdown and Reigns is in league with Miz and Maddox, well I guess I can say I am not surprised, more like shocked, but Roman Reigns I see big things for him on RAW considering he is a second-generation superstar, he comes from wrestling royalty coming from the famous Anoa'i wrestling family, the son of WWE Hall of Famer Sika of the Wild Samoans
I loved the whole locker room coming out to Nature Boy's aid with Punk and Ryder leading the charge but Miz, Reigns and Maddox all leaving before the locker room could get to them, that was great
But nevertheless Ric Flair he can still fire Maddox nevertheless, there is always next week, but if anything the Chairman of this company Vince could fire Maddox, Vince will probably return at RAW 1000 and if he does, then you know Vince will mean business especially with that power walk to address Maddox and fire him personally, if not him, then his son-in-law the COO Triple H could fire Brad Maddox too, either way Maddox is screwed especially after the world witnessed him and Miz admitting that they were the ones responsible for the phony car accident story, that is more than enough grounds for the WWE Board of Directors to fire Maddox and or strip The Miz of his WWE Championship
Swagger and PTP beating Tatsu and International Airstrike, just goes to show you that AW's stable is looking good, they are looking strong
Ziggler being forced to defend his Money in the Bank briefcase against John Cena, just how fair is that? Stop, wait for it, I'll tell you, it is unfair, it is an injustice that Ziggler is being forced to defend something that he specifically earned but I have a feeling Ziggler will retain his Money in the Bank briefcase next week on RAW because I see Big E. Langston making his debut and costing Cena the match by attacking him leaving him laying, and Big E. being revealed to be Ziggler's bodyguard
Natalya becomes the new #1 Contender for Eve's WWE Divas Championship, and they're going to face off at TLC, I really hope Natalya ends Eve's title reign at TLC but I have a feeling Eve's title reign will end at SummerSlam with Eve dropping the title to a returning Kharma, with Kharma making a shocking return and challenging Eve for that title
R-Truth's therapy didn't seem to work at all and now he is back to where he started, still crazy and still enamored by this Lil'Jimmy who is not even real, Otunga should just realize that Truth is a lost cause or at the very least I would love to see Otunga turn on Truth by beating the living hell out of him, now that would really make me happy
Ziggler beating Christian in a great match-up, I loved it, what a great counter from Ziggler turning a Flying Forearm into a Zig-Zag from out of nowhere, that was great, and as for Ziggler he could very well cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase if he retains it, he could cash it in on either Miz or Punk at TLC, whoever wins the TLC match for the WWE Championship, Ziggler could come out briefcase in hand with a referee in tow and he can cash in his briefcase that way to become WWE Champion because Ziggler's time is now
Christian I have a feeling he will get another shot at Bourne but instead of their match-up happening on RAW, it should happen at TLC, with Bourne defending his WWE United States Championship against Christian and Bourne at this point he needs to drop the title because he has had a good run with it, and Christian at this point needs a run with the WWE United States Championship to build himself back up into a main eventer again
Brodus Clay wins against Jinder Mahal, and Bray Wyatt there in the background, I loved it, Bray is going out of his way to get underneath Brodus, Naomi, and Cameron's skins and it's working to perfection too, Bray is a lunatic
The Miz beating Kofi, Kofi never even had a chance at all, but nevertheless Miz needed the win anyway
But I loved Punk's promo on Miz, because it was so true, everything Punk said about The Miz and especially Maddox, pipebombs galore, Miz sure he had a few comebacks but he was flustered by what Punk said because Punk was so right, everything Miz has ever accomplished in his WWE career has never been on his own merit

WWE Monday Night RAW: Monday 18th June 2012...Tyson Kidd and Justin Gabriel picking up a win against Primo and Epico was nice. Meanwhile, Kofi Kingston beating Jinder Mahal was very predictable. I do hope that Kingston finds something good to sink his teeth into very soon; right now he's being wasted. Fair edition of WWE Superstars this week. Good opening segment with Brad Maddoz introducing the Miz, and it seems as though Miz has a new lackey. Maddoz putting himself over on Twitter was hilarious. Mick Foley then interrupting, it's strange that Foley is the General Manager for the week, albeit it is very fitting considering that we are in Long Island, New York tonight. Miz having to put his WWE Championship on the line against Zack Ryder is also amusing news, I think Ryder will nearly win it. Randy Orton defeating Evan Bourne was nice, sounded like a solid opening contest with champion vs champion rules intact. Christian taking down Bourne was also a good turn of events. Lots of focus on Brad Maddox and the Miz, which is cool. You have John Cena's character down to a tee. I'm wondering where R-Truth will go from here, now that he's seemingly finished his therapy with Dr Shelby. Ah, the debut of the Prime Time Players underneath the All World Promotions umbrella! Good establishing win for AW and the boys against the Usos, it got them over very well, particularly their characters, too. Good interview with Zack Ryder, I bet that he got a monster reaction. Up next, a solid first-hour main event with Dolph Ziggler picking up the win against John Cena - I hope that this is the end of their exchange, though, personally. Eve's promo was nice, good way to get the WWE Divas Champion more over and the division as a whole more over, with this inclusion of a promo for the ladies. Natalya coming out was cool, but I think that the audience for RAW would have switched off. Better suited for SmackDown, this feud. Natalya making Eve cry was amusing, though. A good comeuppance, but it's a shame that Eve won't be losing the title to Natalya. Wow, Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes signing a contract for SummerSlam this Friday? That's a bit soon...I wonder what you have in mind for Tables, Ladders and Chairs. Antonio Cesaro with talk time was fine, followed by a simplistic win against Santino Marella. Nothing else to add, really. Finally, a solid main event with Ryder almost picking up the win, just to be thwarted by Brad Maddox's interference. Mick Foley was out of position, and this guy keeps getting bookings to be special referee!? Good win for Miz, and despite what the other guys are saying in that it doesn't help Miz look credible - that's mainly a good thing, he's a cocky, cowardly heel, always has been. That's his character, and it works fine, although a clean victory mustn't go a miss from time to time. Good promo after the match with CM Punk, and we have our main event for Tables, Ladders and Chairs. I'm split on TLC being on in July, it sort of overshadows SummerSlam the next month, but nevermind - it should be fun, I'm sure. A solid edition of RAW following No Way Out.
WWE NXT: Wednesday 20th June 2012...Interesting opening segment with Summer Rae, it didn't do too much of anything else for me though. It furthered the program that she has going on with Paige, though. Followed up by Paige getting the win against Caylee Turner, not too bad at all. Damien Sandow naming his first challenger to the NXT Championship is a very cool twist, but Mike Dalton sticking up for himself? That's cool. I really enjoyed this segment, a little something for Sandow to do tonight, in wiping the floor with Dalton. Richie Steamboat with a win against JTG is acceptable, but I hope that Steamboat doesn't obtain the NXT Championship in the Elimination Chase - he's very lackluster in the ring I think. Big E Langston then getting taken out by Steamboat when he tried to attack him made Langston look bad, I thought. Not a very credible bodyguard. Ricardo Rodriguez putting Sandow in action with Dalton tonight was an interesting follow up. Raquel Diaz I'm looking forward to joining us, she could have a lot of potential if she sticks around. I hope Briley Pierce shines when he gets into action on NXT. Sofia Cortez and Diaz have similar names, so this could get confusing for me. Corey Graves and Jake Carter with a win against Jiro and Sakamoto was alright, again hoping that Jiro and Sakamoto can get into some momentum soon enough. Same goes for Graves, so long as he doesn't wear suspenders to the ring. Yes, Yoshi Tatsu helped his Japanese natives out! Good. I hope that Langston and JTG get the win against the Usos, really. Otherwise, split them off, get Langston face and have him kill people. Sandow with a win against Dalton was expected, but the aftermath was solid with Kassius Ohno getting introduced as the number one contender. Seth Rollins also getting involved was great, and I'm sensing we're getting a triple threat match for the first NXT iPPV. I wish we would have a one on one match though, but nevermind. Hopefully Ohno picks up the victory, or Sandow retains. Let Rollins win the title in singles action. Not a bad show this week.
WWE Friday Night SmackDown: Friday 22nd June 2012...Johnny Curtis with a win against his old NXT rival, Derrick Bateman was nice. I want to see a whole lot more of Curtis, though. Layla and Alicia Fox defeating the Bella Twins was eh, nothing to complain about really. Decent promo with Theodore Long talking about Randy Orton against Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam, and two weeks of SmackDown Live? Are you slyly testing the waters for a live, weekly series? I'm not sure how I'd react to that, realistically it would cost WWE quite a lot. Kane then punishing Long? Why is Kane so angry about not having a World Heavyweight Championship shot all of a sudden? There's a sense of lacking continuity involved, here. Ryback making the save was nice, and we have our angle that can make Ryback look unstoppable, and it can elevate him into the main event picture. Ryback defeating Curt Hawkins and Tyler Reks was a shame, it's sad to say that I think Hawkins is officially a lost cause. It got Ryback over, which is the whole point, and I'm looking forward to this interesting program with Kane. Rey Mysterio is injured? Hmm, interesting, it gets Michael McGillicutty and Ted Dibiase over as dangerous when they want to be, but sneaky at other times. Damn Mexicans snap bones like twigs. Antonio Cesaro with a win against Yoshi Tatsu...I'm wondering what the WWE Intercontinental Champion is going to do next - he's not done a lot all week. Maybe some more talk time would be cool. Up next, our first-hour main event promo with Daniel Bryan and AJ. And here comes the introduction of the "No!" catchphrase to counter Bryan's "Yes!". Bryan facing AJ next week should be...something. Just don't make it too violent and it'll be cool. Who authorized this match, though? Good involvement from Theodore Long. Tensai with a win against Justin Gabriel was expected, and it's pretty neat to see Sheamus is continuing with his feud with Tensai, good stuff. Dean Ambrose talking to AJ was an interesting development, although I think Ambrose didn't need this match with Heath Slater. Where is Slater's band anyway? I also feel like this needed some set-up angle, too. And finally regarding this match, I can't help but feel that the Vertebreaker is too risky for a finisher. It'd be nice to see it being used rarely, or like Randy Orton's Punt, but it's far too dangerous for WWE television eight times out of ten. Daniel Bryan then jumping Ambrose was nice, and I think we'll have our Chairs match booked for Tables, Ladders and Chairs. Finally, a solid main event promo with Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes...and Chris Jericho? Wow, huh. I could've sworn Jericho would have challenged Orton to a match at TLC for the World Heavyweight Championship, with that then being transitioned into a Tables match somehow. Apparently not. But wow, Michael McGillicutty and Ted Dibiase attacking Orton for Rhodes, that is awesome. That is exactly how a diary should go about bringing in a New Legacy. Awesome angle to close out the show, and it has been wanting more for next week's episode. A storyline-implementing edition of SmackDown this week, but in terms of in-ring action, it was pretty bland. A good week of WWE television though, as we progress on the road to SummerSlam.
