ALRIGHT! THE ROAD TO WRESTLEMANIA RUNS THROUGH WAR! BATTLEGROUND! LETS... DO... THIS?
Nice touch of Arn Anderson being on the Battleground panel and I've always felt - as I do myself in specific themed events - to have somebody with experience in that nature. A solid match to be on the Kickoff and to see Derrick Bateman win the United States Championship doesn't come as a huge surprise except for the fact that it was at Battleground. Then again, WrestleMania wouldn't be the stage for it either. Anyway, it's all good in the hood! Intense opening contest between Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins and although I want to see Reigns be more successful down the road, I get why Rollins won here being more fresh. Some good spots for the youngsters in this one as well. No surprise here with the divas match, it was expected that AJ would win to set up her versus Paige at WrestleMania. Following that up, another expected result with Dean Ambrose not winning the World Heavyweight Championship but I do love how he got the opportunity nonetheless. I am curious as to what you'll have him do at WrestleMania, as I don't see him in the World title picture. Now, on to the WarGames matches. I've never been one of the ones to push for it to be back in the WWE, mainly because I haven't ever given much love for the concept. Glad to see somebody step forward and incorporate it, however, because it just doesn't happen. A bit predictable of a card we have on hand, but that is kind of hard going into 'Mania, but the right team did in fact win and I see discension for God's Gifts. A buffer match to follow with actually some good showing for both sides of Ryback and Rusev. Still feels weird that you brought Rusev in this early, but it doesn't matter. Lana's picture is the best part of this contest! I mean, the spot was good and everything but yeah. A decent match coming afterward and the fans giving heat for both sides is interesting, but Batista winning was the right result in his return. Finally, the next WarGames match with The Wyatt Family and Kane getting the win, albeit with the help of CM Punk. His quote about the spotlight was grand, as was Wyatt pinning Cena in the end of it all. A good show overall, albeit predictable, but as I said it is kind of like that going into WrestleMania. But you still have a lot to unfold going there, which isn't a bad thing necessarily because it will keep everyone intrigued. Looking forward to it.

WWE Battleground: Sunday 17th February 2013...Alright, the sandwich filler pay-per-view on the road to WrestleMania XXIX. Let's see what we have. A decent choice for the Battleground Kickoff show match, with Rob Van Dam taking on Derrick Bateman. It's a stacked card you are working with, so this made sense - it's just a shame that Bateman won the WWE United States Championship on the Internet-only show. I was surprised to see the clean win from the relatively cowardly Bateman character, but I have no problem with that at the same time. Decent write-ups for the promos to set up Battleground, maybe too much detail included, though. A solid opening contest to kick off with, with the what-could-have-been Shield members, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns facing off. I was very surprised to see Rollins get the win against Roman, but I bet that you have something lined up for Reigns in the coming months. I wish there was some story told here to explain the No-Disqualifications, No-Count Outs stipulation, but nevermind. As much as I would love to see Rollins get to the main event scene, I can't see him getting there with this gimmick, if I'm totally honest. His character needs more layers, I feel. Up next, a decent win for AJ Lee lining up the Divas main event for WrestleMania next month. I like the build here, with Lee having to win a tournament to gain contention to the WWE Divas Championship at the grandest stage of them all. I would not mind seeing this tactic used yearly. AJ and Kaitlyn always had decent matches, too. Next, a great win for Dolph Ziggler, defending the World Heavyweight Championship again tonight against Dean Ambrose. Ambrose should have his moment in the soon in the future, no doubt - but this is all about Ziggler representing the SmackDown brand right now. Whether Ziggler can surpass Daniel Bryan now, is the question. I doubt that you will have Bryan win the Royal Rumble match to lose at WrestleMania though. Prove me wrong. I understand the utilisation of War Games, but I don't like the fact that there are two of them: it sort of takes away from the importance of what the Survivor Series is about, sort of. That said, it makes sense with John Bradshaw Layfield's faction opposing the fellow competition on SmackDown. A decent War Games match with a lot of detail to it understandably. It was formulaic in that it featured the heels having an advantage over the faces, so hopefully we see this mixed up in the main event later on. Daniel Bryan scoring the victory for the faces in the finish made perfect sense, given his highlight main event spot at WrestleMania next month - and Alberto Del Rio taking the fall is fine, as his character is stale whereas the other heels all have personalities that should be maintained. That said, it's still sad to see Cody Rhodes slump back into "a member of JBL's army". Damien Sandow and Antonio Cesaro sure are a solid combination. Next, an interesting match with Ryback facing off with Rusev, and I like Rusev's inclusion here. It's a bit early for Rusev to meet his match in someone like Ryback, per se, but I guess it made sense. If these two face off at WrestleMania I will be saddened, because I can't see their bouts being very good. I think there would be a bad clash of styles. The no contest finish obviously illustrates that this feud will continue, either way. The chemistry between the Rock, John Cena, Triple H and Ric Flair was great, that is a hilariously star studded team, though. Maybe too big against the four Wyatt Family members. If Erick Rowan and Luke Harper's characters were just enhanced and established a bit more, I'd be all for it. Batista winning in his return to the WWE was expected, a solid match against Randy Orton here - I'm just questioning where this leaves both men leading into WrestleMania. A lot of gaps to fill, here. I wouldn't be surprised to see a rematch, though. Wait, Ziggler defends the World Heavyweight Championship against Kurt Angle on SmackDown? That is a massive match and what should be a classic - but is it needed? Unless we are going to be seeing a triple threat match going into WrestleMania also including Bryan - that, I wouldn't mind. The SmackDown main event for the biggest show of the year needs some additional star power, I feel. And finally, a brutal main event War Games bout between the Wyatts and the revolving faces of professional wrestling in history. I think that Rowan and Harper in particular would have gotten a huge rub from this one, mixing it up with the Rock and Ric Flair particularly - not to mention Triple H and John Cena. It's a shame to see that the formula was so similar to the other War Games match with the heels having an advantage - it would have actually been fitting had the faces been given the advantage, frankly. Great twist to build into WrestleMania with CM Punk laying out the Rock, too. I see that we could end up with Cena and Rock both challenging for Punk's WWE Championship. That, I wouldn't have a problem in seeing. Overall, a star-studded tween show between two big pay-per-views, but this could be the show of the year. Maybe a little too star-studded, maybe extremely over-the-top for three hours, but it delivered on all fronts and gave us an alternative February pay-per-view untraditional from the WWE. Very innovative work. I'll be watching what you do, progressing slowly to WrestleMania.

 For those in the WWE Universe who have been waiting for the dead to rise again, the wait is over. WWE.com is very pleased to report that The Undertaker will be making his return on tonight's edition of Monday Night RAW. What will "The Phenom" have to say? And with WrestleMania XXIX on the horizon, will any daring superstar step up and challenge the greatest streak in sports entertainment history? |

Undertaker returning tomorrow night on RAW, I can't wait but let's just see what Taker does in his return considering we are on the road to WrestleMania hell we are almost at WrestleMania 29 and Taker is 20-0, will he be able to take the Streak to 21-0? Who will be the 21st man to try his hand at breaking the streak?
Well my front runners would be: WWE Intercontinental Champion Dean Ambrose, Dolph Ziggler, Cody Rhodes, Kurt Angle, Batista, Randy Orton, or even John Cena

saw the Battleground PPV. It was very awesome, I hope we have more of the War Games Matches in your diary. Bateman wins the US Title against RVD, Rollins also gets a nice win over Reigns, AJ even gets a title shot too. Dolph successfully retains the belt against Ambrose. Angle and his team gets the win to finally beat Wrestling Royalty, hopefully we see Angle vs Bryan at WrestleMania for the World Heavyweight Title maybe Angle could win the World Title this Friday Night against Ziggler. Ryback and Rusev go crazy on the Battleground Stage. Nice heel win for Batista against Orton, people didn't give a sh*t about his return. The Wyatt Family gets a big win over 4 of the entire legends. Cena. Flair. HHH and The Rock. I'm wondering who will face The Undertaker at WrestleMania, I think it's going to be Bray Wyatt that will likely face The Undertaker. But I'm wondering if Kane's going to turn on the Wyatts and join his brother The Undertaker and maybe you should add Paul Bearer's death in there considering he died right before WrestleMania 29 began, and maybe Bray Wyatt could take the power of the urn from The Undertaker. But Punk vs Rock vs Cena in a Triple Threat Match at WrestleMania 29 for the WWE Championship is likely set to happen too. Maybe Rock can win the WWE Title at WrestleMania and hang on to the belt, I could see Rock beating Punk for the title too and maybe hanging onto the belt throughout Summerslam or Survivor Series. But anyway great show for Battleground, we are now on the Road to WrestleMania, maybe a future Wyatt/Undertaker match at WrestleMania 29 is to happen.
Note: WWF 1994 Ground Zero is up.

I see Triple H facing Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania 29 and considering Triple H hasn't gotten his revenge on Bray Wyatt I don't think he is really done with him yet not by a long-shot anyway so that frees up The Undertaker to take on someone else at WrestleMania 29 and considering Paul Bearer his death happened right before WrestleMania 29 I wonder if you will work that into Taker's storyline? And if you do then it makes sense especially with the urn coming into play
But I too can also see Punk vs Rock vs Cena in a Triple Threat Match for the WWE Championship
But then again where the World Heavyweight Championship is concerned I could see a Triple Threat Match also with Angle, Ziggler and Bryan

| #CMPUNKSPEAKS |
Following the signature WWE intro, a video package was shown recapping the events of last night's Battleground Pay-Per-View event with still images. In the first of two WarGames matches, the unit of Daniel Bryan, Kurt Angle and the WWE Tag Team Champions, Wrestling Royalty, were finally able to overcome the venom in SmackDown known as God's Gifts. After their victory, the four of them were able to give John Bradshaw Layfield a well-deserved beating for all of his actions over the past number of months. "The Animal" Batista made his return to an incredibly hostile, managing to defeat a man whose reception was also less-than-stellar, Randy Orton. Lastly, RAW's WarGames match took center stage. In a shocking turn of events, WWE Champion, CM Punk, disguised himself as a cameraman, finding a way into the Hell in a Cell structure. He laid out The Rock with the camera, allowing Bray Wyatt to take a groggy John Cena and cover him for the victory.
Returning to Monday Night RAW, the entrance music of CM Punk hit as the WWE Champion made his way out to a reaction of mostly boos. "It's clobberin' time!" shouted the "Best in the World," who up until last night, we had not seen in two weeks. As Punk made his way down to the ring, the commentary duo of Michael Cole and Jerry "The King" Lawler welcomed everyone to Monday Night RAW as we kick off the temporary end of the brand extension. Tonight, you will see superstars from both RAW and SmackDown, including the man who made his return last night at Battleground, Batista. Plus, "The Phenom" The Undertaker will make his first appearance since last year's WrestleMania! Right now, however, it was time for the WWE Champion to speak. Punk took a microphone and said that he isn't going to act like he has missed any of this over the past two weeks. "I enjoyed my little vacation in Chicago. Part of me wanted to just stay on my couch until WrestleMania. However, the other part of me remembered something - I'm not Dwayne," said the champion. He then said that while he was gone for two weeks, The Rock, John Cena, Triple H and Ric Flair took it upon themselves to put the spotlight on themselves like the egomaniacs that they are. "Last night at Battleground, I took action against the four of them. I took my spotlight back, ruined their little WarGames match and reminded the entire WWE Universe that I am the 'Best in the World.' So, now that I am here once again, there's one question that is on everyone's mind - who will I be defending my WWE Championship against at WrestleMania?" asked Punk. "I know it won't be Daniel Bryan because he made the smart decision to go after the World Heavyweight Championship and not be humiliated by me on the grandest stage of them all. It certainly won't be John Cena. But perhaps the best news of all is that it will not be Dwayne. So who's it going to-" said Punk before he was cut off by the entrance music of John Cena. A mixed reaction emerged as Cena made his way down to the ring, all business as he came face-to-face with Punk. "You listen to me for just a second, Punk. When you attacked The Rock last night, he didn't just strike him in the face. You struck me, you struck Triple H, you struck Ric Flair and you struck the entire WWE Universe. I know what it's like to hit the world where it hurts because I unfortunately did so last year at WrestleMania when I took the easy way out against The Rock. If I am not to meet Rock once again at WrestleMania, then let it be known that I want the WWE Championship match on April 7th," said Cena. Punk laughed to himself, asking Cena just what has he done recently to warrant a title opportunity. "I understand that you're John Cena and you feel entitled to an endless barrage of WWE Title matches, but as long as I'm the one holding the gold, that won't happen. So find something else to do at WrestleMania, because you're not facing me," said Punk. As he and Cena continued to face off, The Rock's entrance music hit to a massive ovation. "The Great One" marched down to the ring, staring at both Punk and Cena while the crowd chanted his name thunderously. "John Cena, The Rock can fight his own battles. He doesn't need your candy ass to stand up for him, and as far as a WWE Championship match goes, you can stand behind The Rock in line because the 'Most Electrifying Man in All of Sports Entertainment' is out here to make it official. The Rock versus CM Punk ass bitch at WrestleMania for the WWE Championship!" he shouted as the audience popped. "Are you two deaf? What part of what I just said don't either of you understand? You're both unworthy of a championship match against the best wrestler in the world on any stage, and especially at WrestleMania. Cena, I've beaten you countless times. Dwayne, I kicked your ass at Survivor Series. I have nothing more to prove. I am better than the both of you, and that is a fact!" said the WWE Champion.
As Punk was about to leave the ring, the entrance music of Triple H hit. Out came the COO of the WWE, along with the RAW General Manager, Ric Flair. "Great, thank you two for coming out to bring this whole debacle to an end. Now why don't you both do something useful with your power for once. Tell John and Dwayne that they're out of luck, and tell me who I am defending the WWE Championship against at WrestleMania," demanded Punk. "First of all, Punk, you don't have any control over any decisions regarding the WWE Championship and WrestleMania," said Triple H. He added that after what he did at Battleground last night, he doesn't see why he should even be carrying this company's most prized possession heading into the biggest show of the year. "So here's what Flair and I were able to come up with. Punk, you will defend your WWE Championship at WrestleMania against........The Rock!" Punk was irate as the WWE Universe erupted for the announcement. However, Hunter was not yet finished. "........and John Cena! It's going to be a Triple Threat match for the WWE Championship!" Punk dropped to his knees as his facial expression told the entire story. Rock and Cena stared at one another, knowing that after their encounter last year, they will have the chance to meet once again at WrestleMania. This time, Punk will be in the mix and the WWE Title will be up for grabs!

| COMMERCIAL BREAK | | #BRYANVSROLLINS |
Returning to Monday Night RAW, a recap of the opening segment was shown, where we learned that at WrestleMania XXIX, CM Punk will defend the WWE Championship against The Rock and John Cena in a Triple Threat match. Backstage, Punk was shown walking through the gorilla position when Josh Mathews approached, asking for his thoughts after Triple H's massive announcement regarding WrestleMania. "You want my thoughts? If I told you everything and the entire WWE Universe everything that I am feeling right now, my microphone would be cut instantly. The Rock and John Cena? The Rock and John Cena?!? I have beaten both of them already!! I am the WWE Champion and the "Best in the World!!" What more do I have to prove?! This is without a doubt the biggest travesty in WWE history. But you know what else? This is all going to backfire in the faces of Triple H and Ric Flair, because at WrestleMania, I will once again beat their two golden boys and creative a revolution, solidifying myself as the greatest superstar in WWE history," said Punk.
DANIEL BRYAN DEF. SETH ROLLINS: A huge match up to kick things off as the winner of the 2013 Royal Rumble match, Daniel Bryan, went up against the man who has made an emphatic impact since coming over to RAW from NXT, Seth Rollins. The audience was fully behind Bryan, who heads into WrestleMania with a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship. After Bryan kicked out of Avada Kedavra, Rollins waited patiently for his opportunity to hit the Blackout. Bryan was able to avoid the maneuver, grabbing Rollins and planting him with a Full Nelson German Suplex. Rollins stirred to his feet, only to be hit with a Busaiku Knee, giving Bryan the victory.
The WWE Universe erupted as Daniel Bryan stood to his feet following a hard-fought victory over Seth Rollins. The challenger for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania chanted "Yes!" along with the rest of the Lafayette audience, riding a wave of momentum into the greatest spectacle in sports entertainment history in forty-eight days. After Bryan made his way to the back, Rollins slowly stood to his feet as the audience booed him. The reaction soon turned to massive cheers, however, as Roman Reigns slid into the ring through the audience. When Rollins turned around, he was drilled with a Spear! The "One Man Army" let out his signature howl as he stood tall over Rollins, getting a bit of revenge for his loss last night at Battleground.
A graphic was shown for the in-ring encounter between Brock Lesnar and Wade Barrett, coming up next on RAW!
|
| COMMERCIAL BREAK | | #LESNARANDBARRETT |
A promo was shown for NXT ArRival, live next Wednesday on WWE.com!
Returning from the commercial break, the entrance music of Brock Lesnar hit as the WWE Universe began to boo relentlessly. Out came the "Beast Incarnate," along with his agent, Paul Heyman, and a handful of security officers. Lesnar and Heyman marched down to the ring as the officers stood at ringside, facing the stage. "Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman and I am the advocate for the most dominant athlete in WWE history. The 'Beast Incarnate,' Brock Lesnar! And unfortunately for one, Wade Barrett, he learned the hard way that when Brock Lesnar makes an enemy out of you, your only option should be to surrender. When Mr. Barrett failed to make the wise, logical decision, he paid the price dearly with an F-5 into that steel ring post," said Heyman as he pointed to the post. He then said that when he interviewed Barrett last week, he realized that the "Bare-Knuckle Fighter" just doesn't quite get it. "Wade Barrett felt the wrath of my client, Brock Lesnar, yet has decided to show up tonight for reasons beyond me. So, Barrett. If you would, please show yourself at this time." Heyman stood in the ring with his arms folded as he and Lesnar awaited the arrival of Barrett. The WWE Universe soon erupted as Barrett's entrance music hit. He made his way out to the stage, staring right through the security officers and directly at Heyman and Lesnar. "Let's get one thing straight, Wade," said Heyman. "These kind officers are not here to protect Brock Lesnar and myself. They are out here to protect your from receiving another merciless beat down at the hands of the 'Beast Incarnate.' So if you would, please make your statement from right where you are standing," he added. Barrett placed the microphone next to his face, appearing as if he were going to say something. Instead, he dropped the microphone and ran down to the ring! He pushed the security officers out of the way, sliding into the ring and trading blows with Lesnar! "No! Brock, not now!" shouted Heyman as the officers entered the ring to try and break the two apart. Barrett was shown actually getting the upper hand, striking away on Lesnar, even with security trying to hold him down. Barrett was able to Clothesline Lesnar over the top rope before some of the officers got a hold of him. Heyman and the rest of the officers kept Lesnar out of the ring, taking him up the entrance ramp. Heyman took his microphone, furiously telling Barrett that this is not the time or the place for his death wish to come to fruition. "You're never going to learn, Wade. You want a match against my client, Brock Lesnar?! You want to be torn apart limb from limb?! You've got it! WrestleMania!!" shouted Heyman. The WWE Universe popped for the announcement as Barrett picked up a microphone from ringside. "Thank you, Paul. Thank you for speaking on behalf of your muted beast, who I just embarrassed in this ring right now, and will do so again at WrestleMania," he said. Lesnar's eyes widened as he tried to break free from the hold of the security officers. Heyman handed him his microphone, hoping to clam him down. "You and me, WrestleMania, No Holds Barred!" said the irate Lesnar. Barrett was smiles in the ring as he was able to get exactly what he wanted. At WrestleMania, two of the WWE's most ruthless brawler will go one-on-one in a No Holds Barred match!
|
| COMMERCIAL BREAK | | #DIVASTAGMATCH |
Returning to Monday Night RAW, a recap of the chaotic previous segment was shown. Michael Cole then reported that the match is official for WrestleMania. Brock Lesnar will take on Wade Barrett in a No Holds Barred match!
DIVAS CHAMPION PAIGE & AJ LEE DEF. THE BELLA TWINS: Last night at Battleground, we learned that at WrestleMania XXIX, Paige will defend her Divas Championship against AJ Lee. Tonight, however, the two 'Mania opponents teamed up against The Bella Twins. After AJ took care of Nikki with a Running Dropkick, Paige was able to plant Brie with the Paige Turner to pick up the victory.
The audience gave a positive response as Paige was handed back the Divas Championship raising it high in the air. AJ Lee then slid into the ring, raising Paige's arm that held the title. The "Anti Diva" turned her head towards AJ, the two glaring at one another. They exchanged a few words before Paige extended her hand out, AJ quickly accepting the show of respect.
Backstage, Matt Striker was standing by with The Rock! The "Great One" stepped into the picture as the crowd went ballistic for him. Striker asked Rock for his thoughts regarding the WWE Championship Triple Threat match that Triple H announced earlier in the evening. "The Rock has one thing to say about this match - retribution. Since The Rock made his return to the WWE, only two men have pinned his shoulders to the match - CM Punk and John Cena. Not to mention they did so by screwing over The Rock and the WWE Universe. At WrestleMania, you best believe that The Rock is going to walk into MetLife Stadium in front of over 70,000 of his fans, layeth the smack down on Punk and Cena, and become WWE Champion! If ya smell......what The Rock....is......cooking!"
Backstage, Batista was shown walking down a corridor. "The Animal" makes his return to Monday Night RAW after a near three year absence, next!
|
| COMMERCIAL BREAK | | #THEANIMALISBACK |
A promo was shown for this Friday's edition of SmackDown. In a battle for the ages, Dolph Ziggler will defend the World Heavyweight Championship against professional wrestling's only Olympic Gold Medalist, Kurt Angle. Who will seize the opportunity to walk into WrestleMania with the gold? SmackDown, this Friday on SyFy.
Returning to RAW, Divas Champion Paige and AJ Lee were shown walking down a corridor together after their successful outing against The Bella Twins. The two were approached by Renee Young, who asked if they believe that their unity will remain intact after one of them defeats the other at WrestleMania. Paige said that no matter what happens on April 7th, one thing will stay the same. "I have the utmost respect for AJ. Against anyone else, I would love for her to fulfill her dream of winning the Divas Championship, in her home state no less. However, I have a dream as well, and that is to walk into WrestleMania as the champion, and leave as the champion," said Paige to AJ's face. AJ smiled, telling Paige that she wouldn't want this match any other way. "You and I are going to tear the house down at WrestleMania. May the best woman win," she added before leaving the scene with Paige. "Back to you guys at ringside," said Renee as she moved out of the picture. The cameras remained rolling, however, as we saw Kaitlyn turn a corner. She looked on in the direction that Paige and AJ were walking, giving a villainous smile and laugh.
Cutting to the arena, "I Walk Alone" hit as the WWE Universe booed wildly. Out came "The Animal" Batista, who sported sunglasses and careless expression. "Give me my spotlight!" he shouted after performing his signature pyro taunt. The spotlight followed Batista as he made his way down to the ring, taking a microphone from ringside. The crowd continued to jeer as Batista spoke, saying that he wasn't sure if he would ever be back in the WWE. "The last time I was here on RAW, I was treated like utter garbage. Not a single person in that locker room or in the WWE Universe showed me the respect that I deserve, and three years later, nothing has changed," said Batista. "I wasn't expecting to return at Battleground to open arms and balloons, but the least that you people could have done is appreciate the fact that I gave enough of a damn to grace you all with my presence! I didn't need any of this. If I wanted to, I could have stayed in Hollywood, making more money than anyone here will ever see. But I chose to come back because I hated seeing this industry suffer. You've got a WWE Champion who looks like he should be washing my car. Your Royal Rumble winner is a 185-pound sack of crap. And then there's The Rock...." he said as the audience chanted the name of "The Great One." "I'm gone for three years, and as soon as I step back into this ring, you all boo me. But The Rock takes seven years off, and you people are all on his jock strap. It's time for legitimacy to make its way back into the WWE, and I'm the only one who can do that. I don't care if you boo me, I don't care if you cheer me. I'm back and as far as I'm concerned, there's only two things you can do about it - kiss my ass and deal with it!" Batista furiously threw his microphone onto the ground as the WWE Universe showered him with boos.
|
| COMMERCIAL BREAK | | #USCHAMPIONSHIP |
Returning to RAW, Batista was shown walking around backstage moments berating the WWE Universe for the reception he received both tonight and at Battleground. Suddenly, Batista stopped and began smiling. WWE COO, Triple H, stepped into the picture, hugging his former Evolution stablemate. After Batista said that it was about time that someone showed him a bit of respect, Hunter quickly said that he's not exactly here for that. "When I re-signed you, Dave, I didn't know that I was agreeing to bring back an egotistical jackass," said Hunter as the audience popped. "Are you kidding me right now? Hunter, you are the last person who I would have thought would disrespect me. And just for the record, when you and I were negotiating, I thought that I was talking to Triple H. The 'King of Kings,' the bad ass who dominated RAW. Not the company's newest corporate stooge," said Batista as the audience reacted to his words. Triple H told Batista that things have changed since he left. "If you want respect, you're going to have to earn it. And this Friday on SmackDown, you're going to have the chance to earn the respect of the man you defeated last night, Randy Orton, when you team up with him," said Triple H. The COO left the scene as Batista was irate, refusing to team with Orton on SmackDown.
DERRICK BATEMAN DEF. ROB VAN DAM TO RETAIN THE UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP: A rematch from last night's Battleground Kickoff, where Derrick Bateman shocked the WWE Universe by winning the United States Championship on his own without any assistance. Bateman was able to repeat last night's events, planting Rob Van Dam with a Headlock Driver to pick up the win.
Derrick Bateman rolled out of the ring as he was handed back the United States Championship, the WWE Universe showering him with boos. Bateman simply raised the title in the air, paying no attention to the very vocal Lafayette crowd. Derrick Bateman remains on top of the world as the new United States Champion!
Backstage, John Cena was shown leaving the arena when Renee Young approached him, asking his thoughts on the Triple Threat match at WrestleMania for the WWE Championship. Cena said that he heard CM Punk and The Rock's words earlier, and believes in their determination to win. "But out of all three of us, I have the most to gain. Not only the WWE Championship, but my reputation. Last year at WrestleMania, I allowed myself to take the easy way out against The Rock. It's something that I regret every single day, but now is my chance to right the wrongs. For Punk, this is about a revolution. For Rock, he wants retribution. For myself, this about redemption. I have the chance to redeem myself on the grandest stage of them all, and I am not letting go of the opportunity. At MetLife Stadium on April 7th, I will become the WWE Champion once again," said Cena.

| COMMERCIAL BREAK | | #FATALFOURWAY |
Following the commercial break, Michael Cole provided the WWE Universe with an update on Ryback and Rusev, who both crashed through the set last night at Battleground. Ryback remains in a medical facility in New Orleans, while Rusev was actually airlifted to Russia at the request of Lana and, supposedly, Vladimir Putin. "Hopefully, Rusev and Lana stay there," said Lawler.
THE REAL AMERICANS DEF. THE USOS, THE PRIME TIME PLAYERS & LOS MATADORES TO BECOME #1 CONTENDERS: A huge match up here as the winning team would have the chance to prevent Wrestling Royalty from becoming the longest reigning WWE Tag Team Champions of all-time, a mark that they can hit next Friday. The match followed elimination rules, Los Matadores being the first ones to go after Shelton Benjamin planted Fernando with the Paydirt. After Jimmy Uso delivered a Superfly Splash onto Darren Young, the Prime Time Players were sent packing. It all came down to The Usos and The Real Americans as the two teams battled it out in an incredible contest. After Benjamin launched himself over the top rope onto Jimmy, Jey Uso geared up for a Superkick to Jack Swagger. Swagger was able to dodge, turning Jey around and planting him with a Patriot Powerbomb to pick up the victory.
The audience booed as Shelton Benjamin and Zeb Colter joined Jack Swagger in the ring, The Real Americans celebrating their victory and new status as the number one contenders. "We the people!" shouted the three of them. Soon, their celebration was cut short by the arrival of the WWE Tag Team Champions, Wrestling Royalty. Ted DiBiase and Joe Hennig stepped into the ring, raising the titles high in the air. Benjamin and Swagger stared off with them as the match is now official for next Monday here on RAW. Wrestling Royalty, who have the chance to make history, put the titles on the line against The Real Americans!
A graphic was shown for the return of The Undertaker! We will be joined by the legendary "Phenom," next!

| COMMERCIAL BREAK | | #THEDEADRISES | A promo was shown for WrestleMania XXIX, live April 7th on Pay-Per-View!
Returning to Monday Night RAW, the legendary gong was heard as the WWE Universe came unglued. The lights shut as the roar of the audience was the only thing audible. Lightning flashes were seen on the titantron as fireballs shot up from the stage. A graphic appeared on the screen that read, "The dead has risen." The entrance music of The Undertaker then hit as the crowd only got louder. Out came "The Phenom" for the first time since last year's WrestleMania, where competed against Triple H in an "End of an Era" Hell in a Cell match. 'Taker slowly marched down to the ring before climbing the steel steps. He raised his arms up while rolling his eyes, the lights coming back on. He stepped into the ring and took a microphone as the WWE Universe chanted his name thunderously. Cameras got a shot of Undertaker with the WrestleMania sign looming in the background. He then held the microphone up to his face, but remained silent for a bit. As he was about to speak, the signature of The Wyatt Family hit. "Oh my God," uttered Michael Cole as the crowd reacted heavily. After the signature aired one more time, Bray Wyatt, Kane, Erick Rowan and Luke Harper were shown surrounding the ring! Undertaker slowly raised his head, staring at Wyatt. The patriarch of The Wyatt Family smiled at 'Taker before ordering his family members to enter the ring. When they all did so, 'Taker immediately went after Wyatt! He was able to get a few shots in before Harper and Rowan got a hold of him. They took "The Phenom" down the canvas, striking and stomping on him repeatedly. Rowan then picked up 'Taker, throwing him into a Discus Lariat from Harper. Kane then grabbed his brother by his throat, bringing him up to his feet. Kane stared at Undertaker for a bit before delivering a huge Chokeslam! The audience here in Lafayette booed wildly as Wyatt asked for Kane to hand The Undertaker over to him. Wyatt then had the "Deadman" in his clutches, saying, "Sooner or later, God'll cut you down." He then planted a kiss on his forehead before delivering Sister Abigail! Undertaker was motionless on the canvas as Wyatt stood on his knees, arms spread out while looking up at the ceiling. |

I love your layout. The Hashtags make it so modern and easy to follow whats going on despite the stodgy text. Awesome opening promo and main event for Wrestlemania - there is no way Punk leaves champion?! Good opening match - glad to see Bryan build momentum and you build towards a potential Rollins/Reigns match. Still not sure about Barrett against Lesnar - I like the push but feels like it's too much for Wade? Would be a real brawl though so I look forward to seeing what you do. AJ vs Paige should be goodd at Mania. Interested to see your direction vs WWE's. I wonder what Kaitlyn is up to and how she fits in all this? Good twist. Excellent Batista promo. Very good character building. Smackdown sounds stacked... I supsect HHH vs Batista 67832436 at Mania by the way it's going? Still don't fancy Bateman as US champ, sorry. Hopefully he drops the title soon. I like the touch of Rusev going to Russia, that's neat! Strong main event to close the night - would have liked the Usos to win as I really rate them. That said, I love your take on the Real Americans and hope they grab the gold. Fantastic show closer - the touch with Kane's reluctance was great! Can't wait to see how that rivalry progresses. Great seeds planted for Wrestlemania - it looks very promising. Good show man.

I loved how you set up WrestleMania 29 with these potential matches but even more so the WWE Champion Punk's explanation as to why he cost Rock and his team the match last night at WarGames and the reason being that he is The Best in the World and that he is the WWE Champion and Punk is right the spotlight should be on him because he is the champion and the fact that people like Rock, Cena, Flair, Triple H etc. get the spotlight over him then yes Punk is justified in doing what he's done even though I don't agree with it but it had to happen
Then Cena coming out to interrupt Punk only for Rock to do the same and then finally the COO Triple H and RAW GM Flair coming out and making the match for Mania, Punk defending his WWE Championship against John Cena and against The Rock in a Triple Threat Match, talk about a blockbuster main event, that match will most definitely close out the show for WrestleMania 29 this is the match that will go on last at WrestleMania 30
Punk is beside himself and rightfully so having to defend his WWE Championship against not 1 but 2 men and he doesn't even have to be pinned to lose his WWE Championship meaning Cena could pin Rock or Rock could pin Cena and Punk could lose his title either way in that scenario but knowing Punk like how I do I am sure he has a plan and I have a feeling Punk will walk out of WrestleMania 29 still the WWE Champion retaining his title getting perhaps the biggest win of his career by beating both Rock and Cena in the same night in the same match
2013 Royal Rumble Match winner Daniel Bryan beating Seth Rollins, RAW's newest star/rookie, this match was a great match back and forth and really Rollins could have beaten Bryan here and if he had then he would have picked up even more momentum heading into Mania but Bryan needs the win more considering he is main eventing Mania, he is the #1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Championship so to see him beat Rollins here came as no surprise just like how after the match Roman Reigns comes in and attacks Rollins spearing him into next week, Rollins and Reigns I knew their feud would not be over and it looks like it will carry on into WrestleMania 29
Brock Lesnar vs Wade Barrett at WrestleMania 29 in a No Holds Barred Match, I wonder whose alley this is up? Considering Brock Lesnar is accustomed to this kind of fighting being that he was in the UFC and he dominated while in UFC but also ever since he came back to the WWE he has virtually been unstoppable he has been a beast but he is going up against Barrett who is also accustomed to this type of brawling this type of fighting considering he was a bare knuckle fighter not only in England but also in Europe too and both of these men are practically mirror images of each other in terms of their careers when you really think about it, so something has gotta give here that's for sure, this match at Mania will be not just a battle it will be a war
WWE Divas Champion Paige and her #1 Contender AJ beating the team of The Bella Twins, it makes me wonder just how Paige and AJ could have co-existed in this match given that they are facing each other at Mania with that title that Paige has on the line, it makes me wonder just how Paige and or AJ did not turn on each other leaving the other to fend for herself but considering Mania is right around the corner these 2 are bound to butt heads they are bound to turn on each other because both of them want to be WWE Divas Champion but only one of them can be
Batista I agree with him he should be given more respect considering he did come back for all the fans he did come back because he felt like the WWE needed legitimizing and it does and with The Animal back in the WWE he surely can legitimize the WWE make it seem important again and Batista he is a Hollywood box office movie star now and he doesn't need the WWE considering the movies he has already been in The Man with the Iron Fists and Riddick at this time in 2013 and next year he is going to be in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy in 2014 so Batista he definitely deserves more opportunities here and now that he is back in the WWE I am sure he will end up becoming World Heavyweight Champion on Smackdown, it is only a matter of time
Batista backstage with the COO, backstage with his former Evolution teammate and good friend Triple H and then Batista and Triple H getting into it, it can only mean one thing, that at WrestleMania 29 it will end up being Triple H vs Batista in a WrestleMania 21 rematch, 8 years later, and if it happens then I am all for it because Batista all time in his career he has Triple H's number beating him not once not twice but 3 times and Triple H he has never ever beaten Batista in his career
As for Batista having to team up with Orton, how is that going to happen? Honestly I can see Batista tearing Orton apart and putting Orton back on the shelf again taking Orton out on Smackdown sending a message to the COO Triple H
Derrick Bateman beating RVD to retain his WWE United States Championship, I always knew Bateman would retain should he and RVD face off again and he did, well I never thought that I would say this but Bateman he is starting to make a believer out of me he is starting to come into his own as WWE United States Champion
Cena to him the Triple Threat means redemption but for Rock it is all about revenge while for Punk it is all about revolution so something has gotta give where these 3 men are concerned because only one of them can walk out of MetLife Stadium on April 7th at WrestleMania 29 as WWE Champion so who will?
Ryback and Rusev I have a feeling both of these men will be fully recovered and when they do I can see them going after one another once again and if it does happen it will most likely happen at WrestleMania 29
The Real Americans Jack Swagger and Shelton Benjamin become #1 Contenders for the WWE Tag Team Championships beating Los Matadores, Primetime Players and The Usos and now they will get the chance to face off against the WWE Tag Team Champions Ted DiBiase & Joe Hennig Wrestling Royalty next week on RAW, I can't wait, will DiBiase & Hennig continue to make history as champions retaining their titles? Or will Swagger & Benjamin finally be the ones who dethrone DiBiase & Hennig?
Undertaker's return closing out the show and Taker now that he is back just when he is about to address the WWE Universe he is interrupted by The Wyatt Family, why did I have a feeling that this would happen? That Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Erick Rowan and Taker's own brother Kane would crash Taker's party? That they would make their presence felt and since they did by attacking Taker with Bray Wyatt leading the charge and Kane chokeslamming his own brother all the way to hell and then Bray Wyatt putting the exclamation mark on all of it by hitting Sister Abigail on Taker, I loved it, sets up Bray Wyatt vs The Undertaker for WrestleMania 29, will the Streak go to 21-0 or will Bray Wyatt be the "One" as in 20-1?

Oh my goodness. How  ing creative and impressive is this layout? The hashtags though. CM Punk's opening promo was perfect. Saying he's not Dwyane and calling out John Cena and The Rock wanting title shots they don't deserve is well done. Triple Threat at WrestleMania! That's what I wanted in real life! I was thinking of a WWE 2013 sim and that was my plan for it. Punk is upset and rightfully so. Daniel Bryan and Seth Rollins is an awesome opener. Bryan winning was the right call as long as Seth looked strong in a great match. Roman Reigns attacking post match was nice. I love that you've built up Wade Barrett enough that he looks credible against Brock Lesnar. Totally looking forward to that one. Paige and AJ winning was what I wanted and I see a show of respect. I expect that to possibly change heading into WrestleMania. Kaitlyn still involved...hmmm. Heeltista is what I like to see. I wonder if we'll see Evolution implode at WrestleMania. Maybe in a Fatal Four Way. Derrick Bateman retaining is for the best. Small, but perfect touch to have Lana request that Rusev be airlifted to Russia. The Real Americans are number one contenders! Real Americans/Wrestling Royalty has the potential to be outstanding. Having the match next week is a big deal. The Undertaker returns and is attacked by the Wyatt Family. Kane being reluctant was perfect and I see Bray challenging the Streak. Awesome show and fantastic layout. WrestleMania is shaping up big time. Punk/Rock/Cena, Bryan/Angle or Ziggler, Bray/Undertaker, Barrett/Brock. Damn. |

You love to change your format up, you bastard. A great opening promo that was expected with CM Punk having to defend the WWE Championship against both John Cena and The Rock. Looking forward to the build up for this one and it should have been what happened in reality, honestly. Grand opening contest between Daniel Bryan and Seth Rollins and obviously the Royal Rumble winner was going to walk out victorious. Roman Reigns laying out Rollins certainly shows their rivalry isn't over and I see them possibly meeting again at WrestleMania, if not in a possible Money in the Bank ladder match - if you choose to do it at Mania. I may have put another buffer match between the hot opening promo and match and this upcoming one with Lesnar and Barrett and as anticipated, they will meet up at WrestleMania. I'm actually kind of looking forward to it. Paige and AJ Lee having to team up, ay? Fine for me, really, as it appears we could have a more respectful match at Mania between the two. Batista is back, damn it! KISS HIS ASS AND DEAL WITH IT! CHEER ROCK AND BOO BATITTYS? NAH, HOMEY, THAT SHIZNIT DON'T FLOAT! Batista having to team with Orton on Smackdown now, eh? I wonder what you're building up to towards Mania. Best decision here to see Derrick Bateman retain the United States Championship over Rob Van Dam in the rematch. Good to see The Real Americans become the number one contenders for the WWE Tag Team Championships and them facing Wrestling Royalty next week shall be interesting. I wonder if they'll take the belts away or not... finally, a great promo to conclude the show as we are both going down the same road with Undertaker versus Bray Wyatt. It is certainly going to be grand in the build up and it already started with Kane having to choose between The Wyatt Family or his brother. Let the mind games begin. A good show to start things off for the final stretch towards WrestleMania, albeit a bit promo heavy.

I wonder if Taker is going to be playing mind games with Kane, Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan in the build-up towards WrestleMania 29? I sure hope so but here is hoping we get to see some returns too on the road to WrestleMania 29, perhaps Sting debuts!!!

WWE Monday Night RAW: Monday 18th February 2013...Props on the layout for this show, it's very new and original - but at the same time it's a bit annoyingly formatted. If the column on the left with the segment hashtags were narrower, it'd be better. CM Punk opening up the show was the right decision, giving him having the final story coming out of last night's Battleground pay-per-view. I was starting to wonder where he went. Did I miss something leading to Triple H and Ric Flair being placed in charge? Well written angle to open up the show, and the inevitable triple threat main event for WrestleMania XXIX was booked, CM Punk against the Rock and John Cena. Sounds like a worthy main event, for certain. Up next, a solid opening contest with Daniel Bryan picking up a victory against Seth Rollins, giving Bryan some momentum going into his World Heavyweight Championship challenge. I additionally liked Roman Reigns' involvement, taking down Rollins after the bell. I'm assuming that this will be an undercard match on April 7. Brock Lesnar's segment with Wade Barrett was a decent one, but maybe way too big for something that wasn't even the first-hour main event angle. We now have two matches made for WrestleMania already - though I'd have personally paced it out to make this take place next week - just so it doesn't get overshadowed by the WWE Championship main event made earlier tonight. Paige and AJ Lee teaming up to beat the Bella Twins was expected; whether you decide to put any character into Brie and Nikki Bella is a good question. I like the build here, it's very slow burn as we now set the stage for the WWE Divas Championship angle going into WrestleMania. Man, I forgot that the road to WrestleMania was so promo heavy! I'm interested to see what Kaitlyn brings to the AJ and Paige feud. It's strange to see her positioned as the heel here. Batista's promo was fine, but didn't do too much. Batista with a sly heel turn here. I'm more surprised that nobody interrupted him honestly. This didn't bring a lot to the table. Does Triple H have bipolar all of a sudden? It's strange that he hugs Batista and then calls him a jackass several seconds later. A strange segmet here. Wow, a big line-up for SmackDown's main event with Batista and Randy Orton teaming up. If they face off at WrestleMania I won't be that interested though, honestly. Derrick Bateman retaining his newly won WWE United States Championship was expected, Rob Van Dam needs something new to do. Hahah, loved the tidbit on Rusev being airlifted to Russia. Very comical thought. The Real Americans becoming number one contenders to the WWE Tag Team Championships is fine - now the question is whether this happens at WrestleMania, on the Kickoff Show or on a future RAW. You have a two month gap to fill, after all. I'm intrigued whether Ted Dibiase and Joe Hennig can keep their lengthy title reign going. And finally, a big promo that I predicted happening. Kane aiding Bray Wyatt in assaulting the Undertaker in 'Taker's return was a class decision. One of the best angles I've read, considering how you've built all of this up; specifically Kane being in the Wyatt Family and it all leading to this moment. What happens at WrestleMania, will the Streak die at 19-1? A solid show, very promo heavy as expected. The wheels are moving en route to WrestleMania. Be careful with Wyatt.

| #NXTMITB |
After the signature WWE intro, cameras cut directly to the Full Sail Arena for the final edition of NXT before NXT ArRival is live next week on WWE.com. The entrance music of Alex Riley hit to a negative response from the NXT Universe. He and his cheerleader, Alexa Bliss, made their way down to the ring, which contained a ladder set up in the center of it along with the NXT Money in the Bank briefcase hanging above it. Riley took a microphone as he stared at the ladder, saying that one week from tonight, he will literally climb to the top of NXT. "When I get my hands on that Money in the Bank briefcase, there will be nothing stopping me from ruling the hallways of the Full Sail Arena. Besides, look at my competition. Do you people really believe that anyone else could possibly win that briefcase? Not a chance. Plus, I'm the only superstar in this match who has competed in Money in the Bank before. So if you would, Alexa, tell the world who is going to become NXT's first-ever Mr. Money in the Bank one week from tonight," said Riley. He then began climbing the ladder as Bliss gave a cheer of, "M-I-T-B, Alex Riley!" As Riley placed his hand on the briefcase, the entrance music of Adrian Neville hit. Out came the "Man that Gravity Forgot" to a great response from the NXT Universe. Neville said that Riley did make a good point when he said that he is the only man who has competed in a Money in the Bank Ladder match before, but this is the kind of environment that was made for someone like himself. "On these turnbuckles, I can already do damage. With a ladder, I don't even know my own limitations, but I am going to find out when I do two things with this ladder - fly off of it and climb it to retrieve that briefcase." Riley stepped off of the ladder to confront Neville, but the two were interrupted by Trent Barreta. Barreta made his way down to the ring, reminding everyone that he competed in NXT's first-ever Ladder match a number of months ago against Seth Rollins. "For the past year, there has been no question that I will someday become the NXT Champion. All I need is an opportunity, and next week at ArRival, I'll secure that opportunity when I become Mr. Money in the Bank." Next out was Adam Cole, who said that while he may have recently been named the most handsome superstar on NXT, he isn't afraid to have his face rearranged if it means winning Money in the Bank. "I may be the underdog in this match, but you know what? I've been the underdog in everything else. No one believed that I could become a professional wrestler or make it to the WWE, but I proved them wrong. Next Wednesday, I prove them wrong again by winning Money in the Bank and solidifying myself as the next NXT Champion," said a very confident Cole as the crowd cheered him on. Xavier Woods' music then hit, saying that if all goes well, then at some point in the future, he'll have the title "Dr." added to his name, and he wouldn't mind adding "Mr." as well. "Mr. Money in the Bank, that is," he said before Riley shouted, "Who invited the nerd?!" Woods and Riley then came face-to-face as the rest of the competitors began to get into a war of words, the crowd expecting a brawl to break out. Suddenly, the entrance music of the final competitor, Tyler Breeze, hit as he walked down to the ring. He climbed the ladder, taking his cell phone and taking multiple selfies with the Money in the Bank briefcase. The rest of the competitors simply stared at him, "Prince Pretty" paying no attention to the glares that he was receiving. Adam Cole then placed his hands on the ladder, Breeze looking back at him and shaking his repeatedly. Cole then pushed the ladder over as Breeze crashed onto the floor! Trent Barreta then went after Cole, prompting Riley, Woods and Neville to all get involved as well. Cole was able to Dropkick Barreta out of the ring before Riley threw Woods shoulder-first into the ring post. When Riley turned around, Cole and Neville both Clotheslined him over the top rope. Cole then set the ladder back up, beginning to climb it. Neville did the same, the two meeting at the top of the ladder. Adam Cole and Adrian Neville stared at one another, the Money in the Bank briefcase hanging in between them. Will either Neville or Cole be able to retrieve the NXT Money in the Bank briefcase, one week from tonight at NXT ArRival?
Backstage, Richie Steamboat was shown walking down a hallway. He meets one half of the NXT Tag Team Champions, Corey Graves, next!

| COMMERCIAL BREAK | | #STEAMBOATVSGRAVES |
RICHIE STEAMBOAT DEF. NXT TAG TEAM CHAMPION COREY GRAVES W/ JAKE CARTER VIA DISQUALIFICATION: A very solid bout to kick things off on NXT's final stop before ArRival is live next week on WWE.com, free of charge to the NXT Universe. At the historic event, Richie Steamboat does battle with Bo Rotundo, while Corey Graves and Jake Carter have issued an open challenge with their NXT Tag Team Championships on the line. Momentum was at stake as Steamboat looked to be on the verge of victory, setting Graves up for a Flying Crossbody. However, Carter got involved, pushing Steamboat off of the top rope and causing the disqualification finish.
The NXT Universe jeered as Corey Graves and Jake Carter stomped away on Richie Steamboat before standing him up, only to drop him with Bottoms Up. Graves and Carter took their NXT Tag Team Championships as they headed to the backstage area, leaving Steamboat laying in the ring. Suddenly, the entrance music of Bo Rotundo hit as the crowd's negative response only got louder. Rotundo made his way down to the ring, taking a microphone and trying to help Steamboat up to his feet. "Hey, buddy. You alright?" asked Rotundo before taking Steamboat and planting him with a Bo-Dog. "Keep on fighting Steamboat. Next week at ArRival, you can beat me. All you have to do is Bolieve! The only problem is that I am also Bolieving, and I think I do it better than you. But try your best, Richie! I know you can!" said Rotundo. He dropped the microphone as he raised his arms in the air, giving a wide smile as the crowd continued to boo him.

| COMMERCIAL BREAK | | #KENNETHCAMERON |
Returning from the commercial break, a graphic was shown with one of the biggest announcement's in NXT history. Next Wednesday at ArRival, one of Florida's own will be present for the historic event - The Rock! "The Most Electrifying Man in Sports Entertainment" will be in the Full Sail Arena, next Wednesday on WWE.com!
KENNETH CAMERON DEF. JASON JORDAN: While Kenneth Cameron prepares to take on Oliver Grey, who will be accompanied by William Regal, next week at NXT ArRival, he was given the task of taking on Jason Jordan here tonight. Cameron was able to tun through Jordan with ease, finishing him off with a Lifting DDT for the win.
Kenneth Cameron stood to his feet as he refused to have his arm raised, the intense Englishman ready for battle next week against Oliver Grey. Speaking of Grey, he was shown backstage along with his mentor, William Regal. "I've taught you everything you need to know to beat this man next week, Oliver. I'll be right there with you to make sure that we finish Mr. Cameron off," said Regal.
A graphic was shown for the Final Face Off later tonight between Sami Zayn and NXT Champion, Kassius Ohno. What will the two have to say to each other, just one week before their highly anticipated title bout at NXT ArRival?
|
| COMMERCIAL BREAK | | #EMMAVSAKSANA |
Returning to NXT on ION Television, Devin Taylor was shown standing by with the NXT Tag Team Champions, Corey Graves and Jake Carter. Taylor asked the two if they have a message of any sort regarding their open challenge next week at NXT ArRival. Graves said that when he and Carter said that this a worldwide challenge, they meant it. "We don't care who accepts the challenge. We're just dying for some competition around. The United States, Mexico, Germany, Japan, it doesn't matter where you're from. You could be a wrestler of ten years or a few months. Internet darlings, retired veterans, young up and comers, backyard wrestlers, the challenge for these titles is open to anyone and everyone. Hell, The Rock is going be at ArRival. He could accept the challenge with some other Hollywood D-lister. We don't care. Just show up to the Full Sail Arena next Wednesday ready to go and we will put these titles on the line," said Graves before and Carter left the interview. Who will accept the open challenge for the NXT Tag Team Championships?
NXT WOMEN'S CHAMPION EMMA DEF. AKSANA: Prior to the start of this match, it was announced that next Wednesday at NXT ArRival, Emma will have her first NXT Women's Championship defense when she puts the title on the line against Raquel Diaz. Speaking of Raquel, she sat at the announce table along with Vickie Guerrero and the woman who betrayed the NXT Universe last week, Sasha Banks. Banks had a different look to her tonight, sporting sunglasses and necklace that read "Boss." When the commentators asked Banks for an explanation regarding her actions last week, Vickie interjected herself into the conversation, saying that she doesn't need to explain herself to anyone. Emma was able to remain focused on the task at hand, applying the Emma Lock onto Aksana for the victory.
The audience popped as Emma stood to her feet following the submission victory, taking her NXT Women's Championship. She stared at the trio of Raquel Diaz, Vickie Guerrero and Sasha Banks as Raquel motioned for the title. Can Emma retain in her first title defense next week at NXT ArRival, or will the assistance of Vickie and Banks be enough to bring the title to the camp of Raquel Diaz?
Backstage, Sami Zayn was shown walking down a corridor. He meets NXT Champion, Kassius Ohno, in a Final Face Off, next on NXT!
|
| COMMERCIAL BREAK | | #FINALFACEOFF |
A promo was shown for NXT ArRival, live next Wednesday on WWE.com!
A graphic was shown for one of the many events taking this place this Friday on SmackDown. After failing to claim victory in WarGames at Battleground, John Bradshaw Layfield will address the state of God's Gifts. What does the future hold for the unit, and is there a future at all? Find out this Friday night on SmackDown!
Returning to NXT on ION Television, the entrance music of Sami Zayn hit to a massive ovation from the Full Sail audience. The number one contender for the NXT Championship made his way down to the ring, ready to have one final face off with Kassius Ohno before their championship bout at ArRival next week. After Zayn was situated in the ring, the theme of "That Young Knockout Kid" blasted as the crowd's cheers turned to rampant boos. The NXT Champion made his way out to the stage, staring at Zayn from a distance for a moment before marching down to the ring. Ohno stepped into the ring, coming face-to-face with the man that he will put his title on the line against in one week. Zayn spoke first, saying that ever since their match was made official, Ohno has constantly stated that he is better than him. "Truth be told, Ohno, you may be right. Maybe you are better than me in an overall sense. You made a bigger name for yourself around the world than I did for myself. You made it to NXT before I did, and right now, you're the one with the NXT Championship on his shoulder, not me. However, all I have to do is be better than you on one night, and that night is next Wednesday at ArRival," said Zayn. Ohno laughed at his challenger, saying that he essentially already admitted defeat. "Zayn, you just said it yourself. You're not better than me and you've never been. What in the hell makes you believe that you can beat me for this championship then?" asked the champion. Zayn looked around at the audience, saying that he has more than a few reasons to believe in himself. "Every time the NXT Universe responds to me, that's motivation. Whether they're chanting 'Sami Zayn,' or 'Let's go, Sami,' or even 'Ole,' I believe in myself because I know that the loudest voice in the WWE believes in me. And even if I am not a better competitor than you, Ohno, I know that I am a better man. I have the heart of a champion and am willing to go through hell and back next week to become the fourth ever NXT Champion. And sometimes, heart is all that it takes to get the job done," said Zayn as the crowd applauded him. Ohno responded, saying that maybe in Zayn's little fantasy world, heart is what makes a champion. "But in reality, Zayn, it's not about heart. It's about ruthlessness, viciousness and showing no remorse to the man standing across the ring from you. I showed that to Seth Rollins when I beat him for this title, and don't tell me that it was just a coincidence that the second he knew I was coming for him, he jumped to RAW. I showed that to William Regal on more than one occasion, and because of that, the man is retired. You have no chance, Zayn, and I don't care for what happens to you after ArRival. If you leave NXT, good. If you retire, even better," said Ohno. "Ohno, you talk about reality as if you're the only one who lives in it. I wish that you would be the one who snaps into reality. You're not the savior or the hero that you think you are. NXT isn't your show, it's their show," said Zayn as he pointed to the audience members in Full Sail. "And next week, I am going to kick your God complex out of your being and become the new NXT Champion!" said Zayn. He and Ohno continued to stare at each other, the champion raising the gold high in the air. The final words have been spoken and the stage is now set for next Wednesday. Who will leave ArRival as the NXT Champion?

Great episode of NXT but I really really can't wait until Smackdown because then that way even more matches for WrestleMania 29 can be set but I wonder if there will even be a Money in the Bank Ladder Match this year? And if there is then I wonder which 4 RAW superstars will qualify for the Money in the Bank? And I wonder which 4 Smackdown superstars will qualify for the Money in the Bank?
Undertaker vs Bray Wyatt I wonder how this match has not been added to the WrestleMania 29 card unless it has not been made official yet?
But I wonder where this leaves superstars like Batista? Orton? God's Gifts? Big Show? Big E. Langston?

| #StateOfGodsGifts |
"Welcome to Friday Night SmackDown on the road to WrestleMania!" said Michael Cole following the airing of the signature WWE intro. The entrance music of John Bradshaw Layfield then hit a massive amount of boos. Out came Bradshaw along with three of the four God's Gifts members, Alberto Del Rio, Antonio Cesaro and Damien Sandow. The four stepped into the ring as images from this past Sunday's WarGames match were shown, the unit suffering defeat at the hands of Daniel Bryan, WWE Tag Team Champions Wrestling Royalty, and the man who will challenge Dolph Ziggler tonight for the World Heavyweight Championship, Kurt Angle. Bradshaw took a microphone, saying that he will start off by letting the WWE Universe know that Cody Rhodes has not been seen or heard from since Battleground this past Sunday. "With or without Cody, however, I have asked for this time to give an address regarding the current state of God's Gifts. Heading into WarGames, many believed that if we did not come out of Battleground successful, this unit would cease to exist. I am here to tell the world that they could not be any further from the truth. We are just as united as we were before the WarGames match. God's Gifts is not dead. God's Gifts will never die. Believe me when I say that this is only the beginning, and with RAW and SmackDown merged for the time being, the possibilities are endless for us. Alberto, Damien, Antonio and Cody will take their careers to even greater heights, and they will do so as John Bradshaw Layfield guys." Bradshaw, Sandow and Del Rio all raised each other's hands, though Cesaro did not. Instead, he took a microphone of his own from ringside, explaining himself to the confused Bradshaw. "It's not exactly like that. You see, I'm not a John Bradshaw Layfield guy," said Cesaro as the audience popped. Bradshaw stared at Cesaro, asking just what he meant by that. ".......I'm a Paul Heyman guy!"
A mixed response emerged as Paul Heyman made his way out to the stage, Bradshaw's eyes widening. "Ladies and gentlemen, my names is Paul Heyman, and with the recent merger of RAW and SmackDown, I decided to expand my clientele to the WWE's blue brand. And when examining my options, I decided to pursue the hottest up and coming star in the WWE today. Not only was I able to sign him, but I did so right underneath the nose of one John Bradshaw Layfield," said Heyman. Cesaro stood next to him on the stage as Bradshaw shouted at the duo. "I already hold the services of the WWE Champion, CM Punk, and the most gifted athlete in sports entertainment, Brock Lesnar. And now, I am proud to announce that I am the advocate for the 'Swiss Superman,' Antonio Cesaro!" said Heyman as Cesaro raised his arms in the air. Bradshaw stated moments ago that God's Gifts is still united, but that does not appear to be the case after all. Antonio Cesaro is a Paul Heyman guy!

| COMMERCIAL BREAK | | #OrtonAndBatista |
Returning to SmackDown, a recap of the opening promo was shown as we learned that Paul Heyman has signed Antonio Cesaro to his clientele, stealing him from God's Gifts. Backstage, John Bradshaw Layfield, Alberto Del Rio and Damien Sandow were shown walking down a hallway, all irate over what just transpired. Renee Young approached them, asking for a response of any kind. "I made Antonio Cesaro the superstar that he is today, and this is how he repays me?!? I wish that I would have known that all this time, I quartered a freakin' Judas in God's Gifts! That man is a Benedict Arnold and he should be blacklisted from this industry forever! I swear that from this moment on, we will make life hell for Cesaro and Heyman!" shouted Bradshaw.
BATISTA & RANDY ORTON DEF. KOFI KINGSTON & R-TRUTH: This past Sunday at Battleground, Batista and Randy Orton stood across from each other as opponents. Tonight, per order of COO Triple H, they were forced to team up here tonight. At every opportunity, Orton and Batista tagged themselves in, much to the dismay of the other. After Batista rammed R-Truth into the steel ring post, Orton was able to plant Kofi Kingston with an RKO to pick up the victory.
The audience booed heavily as Randy Orton stood to his feet, Batista sliding back into the ring. When the official raised Orton's arm, Batista shouted at him. "Raise my arm!" said "The Animal" as the official did so. Orton stared at Batista for a bit, the two engaging in a war of words. Soon, the WWE Universe began to chant, "You both suck!" which was also heard at Battleground. Orton and Batista berated the audience members for a bit before Orton went to ringside and took a microphone. "Dave, you and I could stand here and argue, but the problem might actually not be either of us. It's these people," said Orton, which only caused more of an uproar. "And maybe, just maybe, the best way to stick it to these idiots is to stop fighting one another and start destroying their heroes," added "The Viper." Batista thought about it for a moment, obviously not liking the idea of joining forces with Orton. However, as the crowd continued to jeer him, he ultimately made the decision to accept Orton's handshake. The two headed up the entrance ramp, a new alliance being formed between Orton and Batista.
A promo was shown that highlighted Dolph Ziggler's World Heavyweight Championship victory from back in December. Tonight, Ziggler will put the title on the line against professional wrestling's only Olympic Gold Medalist, Kurt Angle.

| COMMERCIAL BREAK | | #AJVsFox |
A promo was shown for NXT ArRival, live next Wednesday on WWE.com!
Following the commercial break, Randy Orton and Batista were shown backstage when Matt Striker approached the two for an interview. He asked if the two can elaborate on this new alliance. Orton said that it's simple enough for everyone in the WWE Universe to understand. "Surprisingly, there is something that Batista and I despise more than each other - everything. We hate the way that these people treat us, we hate the superstars who don't respect us and we hate corporate higher ups like Triple H who believes that he can tell us what to do," said Orton. Batista then said that he still does not like Randy Orton and probably never will, but understands the purpose of them teaming up. "We're going to take what we want, and this Monday on RAW, that's exactly what will happen at the expense of your heroes," said "The Animal."
AJ LEE DEF. ALICIA FOX: After managing to defeat Kaitlyn this past Sunday at Battleground, AJ Lee will head into WrestleMania XXIX with a chance to dethrone the Divas Champion, Paige, in her home state of New Jersey. Tonight, however, AJ was able to pick up a bit of momentum after forcing Alicia Fox to submit to the Octopus Hold.
The WWE Universe gave AJ Lee a well deserved reception following her victory. AJ stood to her feet and stared at the WrestleMania sign, her focus solely on the biggest event of the year. For AJ, WrestleMania is the ideal scenario. The chance to fulfill her lifelong dream on the grandest stage of them all in front of her friends and families. Can she defeat Paige on April 7th to capture the Divas Championship?
Backstage, Sheamus was shown walking down a corridor. He meets Intercontinental Champion, Dean Ambrose, in a rematch from last week, next!

| COMMERCIAL BREAK | | #SheamusVsAmbrose |
At this time, the RAW Rebound was shown. At the conclusion of this past Monday's broadcast, we saw the return of The Undertaker. However, things went south for the "Phenom" as he was ambushed by The Wyatt Family. After receiving a beat down from all members, including his own brother, Kane, Undertaker was planted with Sister Abigail from Bray Wyatt. This Monday on RAW, we will hear from Bray regarding this shocking assault on The Undertaker.
SHEAMUS DEF. INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION DEAN AMBROSE IN A NON-TITLE MATCH: A rematch from last week, which saw Dean Ambrose use underhanded tactics to steal the victory. Coming off of a World Heavyweight Championship match at Battleground, the Intercontinental Champion was looking to pick up a bit of momentum on the road to WrestleMania. Ambrose was looking to strike with the Knee Trembler, but Sheamus was able to move out of harm's way. When Ambrose turned around, the "Celtic Warrior" caught him with Brogue Kick, covering him to seize the victory.
The WWE Universe erupted as Sheamus stood to his feet, being declared the winner. As Sheamus celebrated his victory, the commentary unit noted that this victory should put him in contention for the Intercontinental Championship. After Sheamus made his way to the backstage area, a dazed Dean Ambrose took a microphone from ringside. "Sheamus! Is that all you got? A boot to my skull?" said Ambrose as he held the side of his face, trying to deny the pain that he was in. "Get your pale carcass out here! I ain't done!" added the Intercontinental Champion. As he was waiting for Sheamus to reemerge, pyro was shot from the stage. Following that, the entrance music of Chris Jericho hit! The crowd came unglued as Ambrose dropped his microphone, looking around the arena. Soon, "Y2J" stepped out onto the stage! Jericho, who had not been seen since Ambrose defeated him a few months back, walked down to the ring as the Intercontinental Champion got his title ready. Ambrose swung the title at Jericho, but missed and was then hit with a Codebreaker! Chris Jericho got the audience fired up as he stood over Ambrose, telling the "Diamond in the Rough" that he is back!

| COMMERCIAL BREAK | | #KiddStrikes |
Returning to Friday Night SmackDown, a recap of the previous segment was shown as Sheamus managed to defeat the Intercontinental Champion, Dean Ambrose, in a non-title match. After the match, we saw Chris Jericho make his return to WWE, going after the man who last defeated him, Ambrose. "Y2J" is back, and he is far from finished with the "Diamond in the Rough."
The entrance music of Justin Gabriel hit as he stepped out onto the stage to a ton of boos from the WWE Universe. The last time we saw Gabriel, he abandoned his former tag team partner, Tyson Kidd, during a match against the Prime Time Players. Gabriel began to walk down to the ring when he was suddenly by Kidd! Kidd struck away on Gabriel as the crowd cheered him on, several officials and agents hitting the scene to pull the two apart. Gabriel was able to break free, going after Kidd. The two former WWE Tag Team Champions continued to brawl until Kidd was carried out of the arena, vowing to get revenge against the man that he once considered his friend.
A graphic was shown for tonight's huge main event. Dolph Ziggler defends the World Heavyweight Championship against Kurt Angle! Who will go on to WrestleMania to put the title on the line against the Royal Rumble winner, Daniel Bryan!

| COMMERCIAL BREAK | | #RollinsVsRVD |
Following the commercial break, AJ Lee was shown leaving the arena after successfully defeating Alicia Fox earlier in the evening. Suddenly, she was stopped by Kaitlyn. "Great match out there, AJ, and I'm sure your match at WrestleMania will be even better. You know, since you and Paige are 'friends' and all," said Kaitlyn. When AJ asked what she was getting at, the "Hybrid Diva" said that it's really obvious. "Do you actually believe that Paige is your ally? That psycho only cares about one thing, and that's the Divas Championship. She doesn't respect you, and she damn sure doesn't care about crushing your dream at WrestleMania. In fact, I think she's looking forward to beating you in your home state," said Kaitlyn before AJ cut her off. "Just because you're a menacing witch doesn't mean that everyone else is, Kaitlyn. Paige and I have a mutual respect for one another, and we're going to tear the roof off of MetLife Stadium. Don't be jealous that I'm in this position and you're not," said AJ before leaving the scene, Kaitlyn continuing to state at her.
SETH ROLLINS DEF. ROB VAN DAM: A dream match for many WWE Universe members as Seth Rollins went up against Rob Van Dam. During his entrance, Rollins looked over his shoulder several times, cautious of a potential attack from the man that he defeated at Battleground, Roman Reigns. This kept Rollins off task for a bit as Van Dam was able to take control for a portion of the match. As Van Dam was going for Rolling Thunder, Rollins got his knees up in time. As Van Dam held his lower back, Rollins caught him with the Blackout for the win.
Seth Rollins rolled out of the ring as the bell sounded, backed against the announce table as he had his arm raised in victory. The crowd booed as Rollins made his way up the entrance ramp, still keeping an eye out for Roman Reigns. There turned out to be no sign of the "One Many Army," allowing Rollins to gloat about his victory over Rob Van Dam here tonight.
At this time, a video package was shown that highlighted Kurt Angle's run in WWE since last July. Tonight, Angle has the chance to capture what he has had his sights on ever since he agreed to return - the World Heavyweight Champion. Can he defeated the "Show Off" Dolph Ziggler in our main event?

Returning to SmackDown, the entrance music of The Real Americans hit to a very negative response from the WWE Universe. Out came Jack Swagger, Shelton Benjamin and Zeb Colter, who held a picket sign that read "328." The trio made their way down to the ring before Colter took a microphone. "Every four years, the people of America are allowed to exercise their rights as citizens and vote on their leader. Unfortunately, the WWE is not a democracy. You people do not have a say in your champions, which is why for the past 325 days, Ted DiBiase and Joe Hennig have walked around here claiming to be the greatest champions of all-time," said Colter as the crowd popped for the mention of Wrestling Royalty. "Thankfully, there is finally a duo that is ready to put a stop to this debacle. Jack Swagger and Shelton Benjamin are ready to go into RAW next Monday and free the WWE Tag Team Championships from the clutches of Wrestling Royalty at day 328. From there, Jack and Shelton will begin a historic reign of their own. One that will exceed 328 days. Hell, it will exceed one year, and probably even numerous years! Take a good look, WWE, because here are your next Tag Team Champions for years to come," said Colter. The entrance music of Wrestling Royalty then hit to a huge ovation. Out came DiBiase and Hennig, possibly for the final time on SmackDown with the titles. DiBiase said that if the WWE was a democracy, he's pretty sure that the people would have voted for Colter's mouth to be taped shut on a nightly basis. "One week from tonight, Joe and I will officially become the longest reigning WWE Tag Team Champions in history. The only standing in our way is the two of you. Are we scared of the challenge? Absolutely not, but we do realize that this will be one of our toughest defenses to date. But knowing that we are on the verge of history is enough motivation to walk into RAW on Monday make our dream a reality," said DiBiase before Hennig took a microphone. "Day 328 won't be the end. We've worked too hard and come too far to lose these titles in the final minute of the final hour on the road to history. When we formed this team one year ago, all we wanted to do was make a name for ourselves, and I think everyone will agree when I say that we have made that name. And now, we want to put that name in the record books, and we will do so after we beat you guys and retain our title on RAW." Hennig and DiBiase raised the Tag Team Championship as Swagger and Benjamin locked eyes with the duo. Will Wrestling Royalty make history and become the longest reigning WWE Tag Team Champions in history, or will they come up short at the hands of The Real Americans this Monday on RAW?
A Tale of the Tape was shown for the World Heavyweight Championship match between Dolph Ziggler and Kurt Angle. The two will clash for the gold, next on SmackDown!

| COMMERCIAL BREAK | | #WorldChampionship |
A promo was shown for WrestleMania XXIX, live April 7th on Pay-Per-View!
DOLPH ZIGGLER DEF. KURT ANGLE VIA DISQUALIFICATION TO RETAIN THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP: A classic bout between two of the best going today. Royal Rumble winner, Daniel Bryan, watched from the announce table as his opponent for the greatest spectacle in sports entertainment history was about to be determined. The WWE Universe was split down the middle throughout the match, Ziggler and Angle throwing everything that they had at each other. After Angle kicked out of a Superkick, Ziggler began to size him up for a Zig Zag. Suddenly, Cody Rhodes made his way out to ringside through the audience. He took the World Heavyweight Championship, running into the ring and striking Ziggler from behind with it!
The bell sounded as Dolph Ziggler was awarded the victory via disqualification, the WWE Universe showering Cody Rhodes with boos as he hit Kurt Angle in the skull with the World Heavyweight Championship. Daniel Bryan slid into the ring, but was also taken down with a shot from the title plate. Rhodes threw Bryan shoulder-first into the steel ring post before grabbing Ziggler, striking him repeatedly on the forehead. The "Prince of Pro Wrestling" then got a hold of Angle, the man who defeated him last week and planted him through the announce table at Battleground. He delivered Cross Rhodes to Angle as he stood tall over him, as well as Ziggler and Bryan. "My house, my title, my show! It's all mine!" shouted Rhodes as he held up the World Heavyweight Championship, leaving the title match at WrestleMania in question.

- I told you Cody Rhodes would interfere in the main event and he did costing Kurt Angle essentially the chance to become World Heavyweight Champion by causing the DQ by hitting Ziggler with the World Heavyweight Championship belt and then hitting Angle with the belt and then afterwards hitting Bryan with the belt and then Cody going after Ziggler, Angle and Bryan all by himself, yes Cody Rhodes is still bitter after losing the World Heavyweight Championship and is even more bitter after WarGames at Battleground but now that he has seemingly set his sights on the World Heavyweight Championship again I wonder if you are setting up towards a Fatal 4-Way at WrestleMania 29 for the World Heavyweight Championship? Ziggler (c) vs Angle vs Bryan vs Rhodes
- Loved the back and forth between the WWE Tag Team Champions Wrestling Royalty and their #1 Contenders the Real Americans w/Zeb Colter, loved this segment because DiBiase & Hennig they are on the verge of history but the only thing standing in their way of that is Swagger & Benjamin and that is why I can't wait to see these 2 teams go at it on RAW especially with the WWE Tag Team Championships being on the line in that match
- Seth Rollins beating RVD doesn't come as a surprise considering ever since RVD has lost the WWE United States Championship he has been on somewhat of a losing streak so it doesn't come as a shock that he is starting to lose matches now but seeing as how he was facing the relative newcomer, the upstart Seth Rollins I guess I could see why you had Rollins go over even though I was expecting Reigns to show up and cost Rollins the match or even attack him post-match but that didn't happen but Reigns & Rollins their paths are bound to cross again sooner or later
- Loved AJ calling Kaitlyn out on her jealousy because let's face it Kaitlyn is jealous of AJ, jealous of the fact that she could not get the job done in the WWE Divas Championship tournament and that AJ beat Kaitlyn in order to get the opportunity to face Paige at WrestleMania 29 and Kaitlyn trying to play mind games with AJ but AJ seeing right through her, loved that but I wonder if on some level Kaitlyn did get to AJ somehow? Because AJ is facing Paige at WrestleMania 29 for the WWE Divas Championship and it is in A.J.'s backyard in her home state in front of her fans in front of her public so Paige is going to be in hostile waters come Mania
- Former friends, former tag team partners now bitter enemies going at it with Gabriel being attacked by Kidd and these 2 going at one another until referees and security break these 2 apart, these 2 are bound to cross paths with one another it is only a matter of time until when?
- Sheamus beating the WWE Intercontinental Champion Dean Ambrose in a non-title match, that should give Sheamus a future opportunity at the IC Title considering he did pin Ambrose in the middle of that ring 1...2...3 but Ambrose after the match he tries to call Sheamus out again only to get the returning Chris Jericho who we haven't seen in a while and he goes straight for Ambrose, not surprising that he would considering the rivalry they have but at the same time to see their rivalry continue I am not opposed to it either
- Yes I for one can't wait until RAW because I want to see Bray Wyatt's explanation for why he and the Wyatt Family attacked The Undertaker from out of nowhere or why Bray Wyatt felt the need to target Kane's own brother considering Kane is a member of the Wyatt Family and what not?
- AJ beating Alicia Fox, gaining even more momentum heading into Mania where she has a date with destiny facing the WWE Divas Champion Paige, and knowing the WWE Divas Champion I am sure she was probably watching AJ's match scouting her and if she is then I wonder what AJ is going to do in order to scout Paige? Perhaps a game of anything you can do I can do better a game of one-upmanship
- Batista and Randy Orton teaming up reluctantly to face R-Truth and Kofi and to beat the both of them, I would have expected Batista to turn on Orton or even vice versa with Orton turning on Batista but that didn't happen but instead these 2 form an alliance with one another, I would have never have seen this one coming but it makes sense considering their history together...just think back to the days of Evolution with these 2, these 2 back then were the future of this business and now fast forward almost a decade later and seeing as how their careers have taken off since Evolution and these 2 teaming up I wonder what is in store for both of these men as far as WrestleMania 29 goes? Perhaps Batista & Orton end up attacking the COO of this company Triple H but they also end up attacking the RAW GM Ric Flair setting up Batista & Orton vs Triple H & Flair at WrestleMania 29
- And Antonio Cesaro leaving God's Gifts only to become a Paul Heyman Guy, Cesaro joining the clientele of Heyman, now Heyman has not 1, not 2 but 3 clients now in the WWE Champion CM Punk and the Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar and now with Cesaro joining the fold, the Heyman Guys are just continuing to grow just continuing to get stronger especially with Cesaro in the fold...best career move for Cesaro by becoming a Heyman Guy because with him becoming a Heyman Guy he will be able to get to the top all that much faster because by becoming a Heyman Guy you go on to greatness...just ask Punk, just ask Lesnar or any other Heyman Guy like Stone Cold Steve Austin, Mick Foley, Kurt Angle even or even The Big Show
- But with Cesaro out of God's Gifts...now they only have 3 members now in Del Rio, Sandow and Rhodes considering JBL doesn't really count as a member because he is their manager he is their valet but I wonder who God's Gifts will get to replace Cesaro in their stable?

great stuff with RAW and SMACKDOWN together. The Wyatt/Undertaker feud looks strong, Rock vs Punk vs Cena in a Triple Threat Match for the WWE Title is going to be awesome, But I'm wondering if wer'e going to see a four-way match for the World Heavyweight Title on the SMACKDOWN side. Paige and AJ should be good, every single match at WrestleMania might look good for your card.
Note: WWF RAW October 10. 1994 is up.
