• Following the signature WWE intro, we cut directly to the arena here in Baton Rouge as the theme of Dean Ambrose hit. He made his way down to the ring as a replay from end of last week's broadcast was shown. Ambrose made his return after being put out of action at Extreme Rules by not only attacking World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton, but Daniel Bryan as well. Ambrose grabbed a microphone, asking if the world missed him? After receiving a negative response, he said that it doesn't matter anyways. "All that matters is the facts have surfaced. It is not a fact that you cannot keep Dean Ambrose down. Randy Orton punted my head into a steel ring post. I felt my brain rattle and bounce off of my skull! Despite you being the 'Legend Killer,' I guess you can't kill a legend in the making." Ambrose said that his intentions were only to extract revenge on that bastard, but then it hit him. Orton is now the World Heavyweight Champion. "Do I really want the World Heavyweight Championship? I don't know. But I know Randall does. And whatever he wants, I plan on depriving him of. So therefore, let it be known that Dean Ambrose will be the next World Heavyweight Champion, and I want it at No Way Out." The audience booed Ambrose for a bit, until he was interrupted by a repeating phrase. "No! No! No!" shouted Daniel Bryan as he made his way down to the ring to a reaction just as negative as Ambrose's. Bryan said that the only man around here who will become World Heavyweight Champion at No Way Out is him. "I was in the perfect position last week to reclaim my title. And you ruined it! What the hell is wrong with you?" asked Bryan. "Many things, actually. But Daniel, nobody told you to get in my face. But you made the not-so-bright decision to do so. And you found out first hand that I'm like a match. One false move, and I will burn your stupid beard off of your flesh!"
  
  
• Before Bryan could respond, the theme of Randy Orton hit to a huge ovation. The World Heavyweight Champion marched down to the ring, meeting his two rivals. "Ambrose, I was sure that I took care of you at Extreme Rules when he kicked your brains in. But apparently I was wrong. And if I have to do it again, I will." Ambrose told Orton that there's nothing he can do to keep him down. "Orton, understand this scenario. The roles are reversed. You are the World Heavyweight Champion, meaning that you are now the hunted. You're the prey, and I am now the predator. If it's the World Heavyweight Championship you want, it's the World Heavyweight Championship that I will snatch right from you at No Way Out. So what do you say?" asked Ambrose as he laid out the challenge. "You're on," said Orton as the audience popped, his title defense against Ambrose being confirmed for the moment. "No! No! No!" cried Bryan once again. "What about me?! I never lost my rematch?! I deserve the World Title shot at No Way Out!" Ambrose responded with a simple "No." Bryan shouted "Yes!" at him, leading to a trade between the two. Their trade continued until SmackDown General Manager Teddy Long made his way out to the stage, begging for the two of them to just shut up. "Bryan, you're right. You did not lose your rematch last week, and you do deserve another." Bryan was filled with joy, shouting "Yes!" at both Orton and Ambrose. But Teddy wasn't finished just yet. "However, Orton did just agree to defend the title against Dean Ambrose. So at No Way Out, it's going to be a Triple Threat match for the World Heavyweight Championship, inside of a Steel Cage!" The audience erupted as Bryan went back to his "No!" parade. He shouted at the top of his lungs as Orton and Ambrose ignored him, focusing on each other.
  
  
• COMMERCIAL BREAK
  
  
• Returning to SmackDown, a recap was shown of the opening segment, where Teddy Long announced a Triple Match Steel Cage match at No Way Out for the World Heavyweight Championship. Along with that, a huge tag team match is set for tonight as World Champion Randy Orton will team up with the Big Show to take on Dean Ambrose and Intercontinental Champion Antonio Cesaro.
  
  
• KING OF THE RING QUALIFIER - KOFI KINGSTON DEF. R-TRUTH: Prior to the match, Truth made his entrance in his wheelchair, clearly not wanting to leave it. He had to so however, competing in a very solid opening bout here on SmackDown. After missing corner splash, Truth was caught with Trouble In Paradise, Kofi getting the cover and the victory.
  
  
• Kofi Kingston stood to his feet and celebrated his victory, looking up at the King of the Ring throne that was positioned on the stage. Kofi solidifies his spot at the sixth man to qualify for the tournament next Monday on RAW.
  
  
• A graphic was shown for another King of the Ring qualifying match scheduled for tonight. In a rematch from Over The Limit, Chris Jericho will take on Cody Rhodes.
  
  
• COMMERCIAL BREAK
  
  
• At this time, a video package highlighting the first ever live edition of NXT was shown. In the main event, the NXT Championship tournament concluded as Damien Sandow made history by becoming the inaugural champion. Next week on NXT, the "Intellectual Savior" invites the WWE Universe to his "Intellectual Celebration."
  
  
• REY MYSTERIO, SIN CARA, AND BRODUS CLAY DEF. WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS TED DIBIASE AND MICHAEL MCGILLICUTTY, AND JACK SWAGGER: Quite the unique Six Man Tag bout here. With Mysterio and Cara heading into their final opportunity at the WWE Tag Team Championships at No Way Out, they were looking for a huge momentum boost. For Swagger and Brodus, they were looking for to get the upperhand with the King of the Ring tournament on the horizon. After a 619 to DiBiase, Sin Cara finished him off with a Springboard Moonsault to get the win.
  
  
• Mysterio, Cara, and Brodus all celebrated their huge victory, the Mexican Luchadores gaining a huge momentum boost by defeating the WWE Tag Team Champions. The Funkadactyls joined the trio in the ring as they all danced.
  
  
• Backstage, Daniel Bryan was shown in his locker room, still shouting "No!" due to the fact that he will compete in a Triple Threat Steel Cage match at No Way Out. Matt Striker walked into the room, asking for Bryan's thoughts on Teddy Long's announcement. "No! No! No! This not fair. I am the number one contender! Not Dean Ambrose, not anybody else! Me!" He calmed himself down, taking a deep breathe. "But I will say this right now. Teddy Long thinks that the world is buzzing about the Steel Cage match, but I guarantee you that by the end of this evening, the WWE Universe will be talking about something else."
  
  
• Cutting to another camera, Chris Jericho was shown walking down to the ring. He meets Cody Rhodes in a King of the Ring qualifying match, next.
  
  
• COMMERCIAL BREAK

Plus, after suffering a pinfall loss at the hands of Zack Ryder, how will the WWE Champion Wade Barrett respond? RAW, live next Monday on USA.
  
  
• Returning from the commercial break, R-Truth was shown in his wheelchair backstage as he approached David Otunga. "Well?! King of the Ring ain't happening, so what now!?" yelled Truth. Otunga told him that he's scheduled another visit with his psychiatrist, Dr. Shelby. "I ain't going back to therapy! That guy thinks I'm crazy! They don't even give me lollipops like they're supposed to! And where's my lawsuit?!" asked Truth. Otunga told Truth that this isn't even about a lawsuit anymore. "This is about you getting the help necessary for you to be a civilized human being. And if you don't go back to therapy, I will see to it that the WWE files a lawsuit against you for fabricated injuries," said Otunga. "I don't even know what that means, but I ain't going!" said Truth before wheeling away from the scene.
  
  
• KING OF THE RING QUALIFIER - CODY RHODES DEF. CHRIS JERICHO: Arguably the best qualifying match that we have been treated to. As Rhodes was going for Beautiful Disaster, Jericho caught his legs and attempted to lock him in the Walls of Jericho. Cody was able to push Jericho away with his feet, causing Y2J to bounce off of the turnbuckle. Cody quickly capitalized and hit Cross Rhodes to pick up the victory.
  
  
• The audience booed as Cody stood to his feet, gaining retribution for his loss to Jericho at Over The Limit. And not only that, Cody now qualifies for the King of the Ring tournament, joining Evan Bourne, Christian, Jack Swagger, Brodus Clay, Kassius Ohno, and Kofi Kingston. Rhodes approached the throne on the stage, staring at it before looking back at Jericho with a smile on his face.

• RYBACK DEF. JINDER MAHAL: After McIntyre failed to attempt to end Ryback's undefeated streak, Mahal tried his hand at it this week. Unfortunately for him, he suffered the same fate as Ryback planted him with Shell Shock to continue his path of destruction.
  
  
• The audience popped as Ryback quickly stood up, standing tall over Jinder Mahal. He turned his attention to Drew McIntyre, who wasn't looking to pick another fight as he made his way up the entrance ramp. "Feed me more!" shouted Ryback and the WWE Universe in unison.
  
  
• Backstage, World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton was shown in his locker room when Matt Striker walked in. He asked the Viper for his thoughts on the Steel Cage match at No Way Out. Orton said that No Way Out is an opportunity for him to kill two birds with one stone. "I'll be able to take care of that annoying little goat face, Daniel Bryan. And finally, I can put away Dean Ambrose once and for all." Striker thanked Orton for his time, leaving the Viper to prepare for the tag team main event later on tonight.
  
  
• COMMERCIAL BREAK
  
  
• Returning to SmackDown, Tensai was shown making his way down to ringside, standing by Michael Cole's side to both collect his payment and provide further protection with Sheamus in action next.
  
  
• KING OF THE RING QUALIFIER - SHEAMUS DEF. HEATH SLATER: Prior to the match, Slater cut a promo to announce that next week, after he becomes the King of the Ring, he will be holding auditions for his "band." After the bell sounded, the One Man Band turned his attention away from Sheamus, pointing at the throne before doing his air guitar dance. When Slater turned around, Sheamus hit him with a vicious Brogue Kick to get the victory.
  
  
• The Great White spent no time celebrating as he quickly went out to ringside, meeting Tensai face to face. After a brief staredown, Sheamus slid back into the ring. "Yeah, that's right. Save your energy for the King of the Ring, you great white joke!" Sheamus pulled Heath Slater out of the ring, tossing him over the announce table and onto Cole! He quickly left up the entrance ramp as Tensai went after him, the Great White standing tall on the stage as he beat his chest near the throne.
  
  
• As Cole tried to get Slater off of him, Booker T and Josh Mathews took us to the brackets for the King of the Ring tournament as all eight spots have been filled. Evan Bourne, Christian, Jack Swagger, Brodus Clay, Kassius Ohno, Kofi Kingston, Cody Rhodes, and Sheamus will all look to take their place on the throne and head to SummerSlam with a guaranteed championship match. Who will come out on top as the WWE's new King of the Ring?
  
  
• Backstage, Dean Ambrose was shown making his way down to the ring. He and Intercontinental Champion Antonio Cesaro meet World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton and the Big Show in our main event, next!
  
  
• COMMERCIAL BREAK
  
  
• A promo was shown for No Way Out, live Sunday June 17th, only on pay per view.
  
  
• WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION RANDY ORTON AND BIG SHOW DEF. DEAN AMBROSE AND INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION ANTONIO CESARO: A great tag bout to close things out for SmackDown tonight. As expected, Orton and Ambrose focused on each other while Show and Cesaro did the same, both pairings set to meet at No Way Out. After Cesaro missed a lariat to Orton, he walked into a Knockout Punch from the Big Show. In turn, the dazed Cesaro walked into an RKO, Orton covering the Intercontinental Champion to get the victory.
  
  
• The audience popped as Orton and Big Show raised one another's arms, the face duo leaving SmackDown tonight with a huge victory. Show left up the entrance ramp as Cesaro slowly rolled out of the ring, still not completely conscious after receiving the Knockout Punch.
  
  
• As Orton did his signature pose on the second rope, Dean Ambrose slid into the ring. Orton turned around and came face to face with the man he nearly took out at Extreme Rules. Before anything could happen between them, the theme of Daniel Bryan hit as he made his way out to the stage along with AJ. Bryan told Orton and Ambrose that this is actually a great scene. "You two can beat each other to a pulp, while I stay fresh for No Way Out. Besides, I'll be busy anyways. Busy becoming the center of the world's attention. Because I said earlier that I would have the world talking by the end of the night. And this is what I meant." After Bryan said that, he took a deep breathe as he grabbed AJ's hands, dropping to one knee. Several people in the audience gasped as Bryan popped the question. "AJ Lee...will you marry me?" AJ looked to be nearly in tears before she let out a huge "Yes!" Bryan shouted the same thing, but repeatedly as he hugged AJ. Orton and Ambrose looked on at the newly engaged couple, unimpressed as their focus is on No Way Out. The show faded out as Bryan shouted "Yes!" repeatedly alongside his now-fiance, AJ.

Smackdown Review

Ambrose is back and he apparently isn't done with Randy because he wants whatever Randy has, and since my man Orton is World Heavyweight Champion now, Ambrose wants the title only for Bryan to interrupt Ambrose and then Orton finally coming out, and then Teddy Long making the main event of Orton & Show teaming up to face Ambrose and Cesaro

But yes there is going to be a Triple-Threat Match for the World Heavyweight Championship at No Way Out, but just not any regular Triple-Threat Match but a Triple-Threat Match in a Steel Cage

Kofi qualifies for King of the Ring by beating Truth but Truth has been on a downward spiral ever since being put in a wheelchair, hell ever since turning heel in the first place, and Truth could use a face turn especially now rather than go to Dr. Shelby

Sandow's Intellectual Celebration I can't wait, he will finally restore some dignity to NXT and NXT won't be in the dumps especially with Sandow as its champion, and finally there won't be any idiocy on that show

Mysterio, Cara and Clay beat DiBiase, Mcgillicutty, and Swagger, I love it

Bryan is complaining even though he has his re-match for the World Title but that he has to share it with Ambrose, he should be lucky he is even having another chance at Orton's title

Contract signing for Punk & Miz, can't wait, and I also can't wait until the KOTR tournament itself and Ryder/Barrett I can't wait

Rhodes beats Jericho to qualify for the KOTR tournament in an OTL re-match, their rivalry I bet is over now

Now the field is set for the KOTR tournament, the 8 who will be there will be Kofi, Swagger, Clay, Ohno, Rhodes, Christian, Bourne, and Sheamus, my pick to win the tournament is Swagger

Ryback beating Jinder Mahal, now Ryback can begin his rise to the top by becoming a main eventer soon

Sheamus becoming the final man to qualify for the King of the Ring by beating Slater, Sheamus is a former King of the Ring winner winning it all in 2010, 2 years ago, so he is the favorite to win it all but I am going with Swagger either way

Sheamus making an example of Michael Cole by throwing Slater on to Cole and then leaving before Tensai could get to him, I loved it

Bryan & AJ to me they are the new Macho Man & Miss Elizabeth, here is to hoping they stay together long enough like Macho and Liz while Orton and Ambrose couldn't care less

What a great way to end Smackdown with Bryan's proposal and AJ accepting

The brackets are set for King of the Ring for RAW

Evan Bourne vs Kofi Kingston, former tag team partners, Air Boom collide, I know who I am picking to win this match, I say Kofi will win it and why? Because I see Christian costing Evan Bourne the match against Kofi, setting up a face turn for Christian

Christian vs Jack Swagger, rivalry renewed, since these 2 had the rivalry in ECW back in 2009, I know who I am picking here, I am picking Swagger to win this match because I see Evan Bourne returning the favor costing Christian his match as payback

Brodus Clay vs Cody Rhodes, definitely have to go with Cody Rhodes in this one

Sheamus vs Kassius Ohno, definitely going with Sheamus


And then the semi-finals with it being Kofi vs Swagger, and Rhodes vs Sheamus, Swagger then beats Kofi to move on to the final and Sheamus beats Cody Rhodes to move on to the final due to Jericho interfering costing Rhodes the KOTR

Then the 2012 King of the Ring final with it being Jack Swagger with Abraham Washington facing off against Sheamus, Swagger wins King of the Ring with Tensai and Cole costing Sheamus the King of the Ring

RAW/King of the Ring Review

Definitely loved the way you opened up RAW with The Nature Boy Ric Flair the GM and his assistant GM Brad Maddox as they were in the ring and then The Miz comes out and then finally CM Punk, and then Flair making the match between them at No Way Out a Steel Cage Match, definitely ups the stakes and I loved the way Punk and Miz had their back and forths

The first King of the Ring quarter-final with Bourne beating Kofi to advance to the semi-finals, just goes to show you that since Air Boom, Bourne going off on his own as a heel just goes to show you that he is better than Kofi especially since he is the US Champion still but is all that much more closer to becoming King of the Ring

Christian defeating Swagger my pick to win this whole thing, I should have expected this, but at the same time it sets up Bourne vs Christian in the semi-final, so I guess I can't be angry at that

Miz's backstage promo about his match at No Way Out, and about how he expects to overcome Punk by overcoming the odds, no way do I see that happening at all, Punk will beat Miz

Sheamus vs Ohno in what I thought was a great match ends in double countout which means neither man advances to the semi-final, and all because Tensai got involved distracting Sheamus, and then after the match Tensai attacks Sheamus, I want to see The Great White and Tensai go at it at No Way Out

Cody Rhodes beats Brodus Clay, I already knew that was going to happen because Cody let's face it, is going places while Clay is really going nowhere and hasn't been going anywhere ever since his undefeated streak ended

This is unfair to Barrett, having to defend his WWE Championship again but this time against Cena, Flair definitely needs to be removed from power

Ryder beats Ziggler to gain even more momentum heading into No Way Out while Ziggler loses momentum heading into his match against Cena at No Way Out

R-Truth with Shelby, I couldn't stop laughing the whole time because to me it was funny as hell

Bray Wyatt, another chilling promo, almost eerie and frightening, I can't wait for him to show up and debut and I just hope that you have big plans for him too

Eve beating Alicia Fox and then Beth coming out and cutting that promo, we all know Beth is leaving but I for one hope she stays because Eve she has had a good run as Divas Champion but it is high time that it comes to an end and I just want to see The Glamazon come out on top one last time, win the WWE Divas Championship and then she can retire as champion and then the title could be vacated

Christian beating Bourne to move on to the King of the Ring final in what I think was the match of the tournament by far, it was great, and now Christian could be on his way to winning the KOTR which means he will main event SummerSlam

Cody Rhodes beats Christian to win the King of the Ring, Cody Rhodes is the 2012 King of the Ring, ALL HAIL KING CODY RHODES, ALL HAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Evan Bourne costs Christian the King of the Ring title, definitely saw that one coming for sure but now that Rhodes is King, he has done something his WWE Hall of Fame father The American Dream Dusty Rhodes has never done or what his brother Goldust has never done and that is win the King of the Ring

Cody Rhodes now that he has won King of the Ring, he goes on to the main event of SummerSlam 2012 which means he gets a World Heavyweight Championship match at SummerSlam but just who will the champion be at SummerSlam is the million dollar question

Yes Barrett is still the WWE Champion all be it that he lost the match by DQ, but it's great that Ziggler cost Cena the title, because now it adds even more fuel to the fire for No Way Out especially where Cena/Ziggler is concerned and then Barrett & Ziggler attacking Cena only for Ryder to make the save and then afterwards Barrett laying out Ryder to end the show was great

Definitely cannot wait until NXT, because the Intellectual Savior of the Masses Damien Sandow the NXT Champion is having his Intellectual Celebration, and then I definitely cannot wait until Smackdown either

WWE Monday Night RAW: Monday 28th May 2012...Natalya with a win against Tamina is fine, I'd love to see you reflect real life with Tamina, she could be a great dominant Diva. The Prime Time Players getting a win against Yoshi Tatsu and Trent Barreta is what it is. I hope to see Barreta used a lot better in the future. Wade Barrett kicking off the show with a promo was a decent call. I liked that he flattened Zack Ryder verbally, but at the same time it REALLY demoralised the WWE Championship match at No Way Out, to the point of making viewers not even want to buy the show for this match. Barrett trying to get himself out of the match was a nice, heelish touch though, I'll admit. Ric Flair then forcing him into it was nice, and Flair putting Ryder over was great. Ah, the King of the Ring tournament starts off in a big way. Looking forward to seeing how it plays out. Evan Bourne and Christian with a win against Tyson Kidd and Justin Gabriel was expected, although I'm hoping to see more, better things from the former WWE Tag Team Champions in the near future. You can tell that Bourne and Christian will be feuding for the WWE United States Championship very soon, as soon as No Way Out. Eve trying to talk Flair into making Beth Phoenix put something on the line is interesting...but predictable, that it will be her career. I hope Beth doesn't have to end her career here. Jack Swagger beating Santino Marella was obvious but filler. I could see Swagger getting close to winning the King of the Ring, but maybe too soon for him to actually win it. Swagger needs more talk time first. AW is a great mouthpiece for him, but Swagger needs to talk a little, perhaps. He's not a "silent monster" sorta guy. Oooh, Christian and Evan Bourne dissension further. Hmm, now that I think about it, I wish that the King of the Ring tournament wouldn't conclude next week on RAW. Especially when the winner has about two and a half months of doing nothing before getting a shot at the WWE Championship at SummerSlam. I think that the finals should be at No Way Out. Ric Flair's promo was very feel good, finally bringing in Brad Maddox. I love Maddox's work so far in real life, so this is cool. I don't like that just because he has good advice, he has an instant job as Assistant General Manager, though. I can foresee Maddox making bad decisions behind Flair's back, leading to a power struggle over the Fall or Winter period. CM Punk standing down to Zack Ryder? That sounds strange, and not really in Punk's character to do so. Punk would've slapped the shades off of Ryder's face and told him to listen to Punk if this was real life. Beth Phoenix beating the Bella Twins was fine, not a lot to add to that. I'm wondering if Brie and Nikki are also on their way out of the company or not. Eve putting Beth's career on the line for the WWE Divas Championship is cool, but maybe a little too soon into their feud perhaps. I hope Beth's career doesn't end after No Way Out, but I guess we'll see. It'd get Eve over as a credible WWE Divas Champion, but who could realistically step up to challenge Eve if Beth has to leave? R-Truth in therapy was really amusing, he's a guy that I could see getting very close to winning the King of the Ring tournament, too. So far, nobody has really shown that they can be credible main eventers going into SummerSlam, though. The winner sure will have to have a lot of build in the next two months. I'm not fond of Bray Wyatt returning to vignettes just becase there was no room for him on the card; sure it keeps him noticed, but I'd have at least inserted him in a backstage segment with another superstar to set up a match for next week, or even put him on Superstars for one week only. The guy needs a storyline, a direction. Not a "backwards step" to hype videos when we've already seen him. Brodus Clay beating Drew McIntyre...poor Drew, once again. Brodus winning is fair, and crowdpleasing, but surely he won't win the tournament. And finally, a big main event win for John Cena, CM Punk and Zack Ryder against Wade Barrett, the Miz and Dolph Ziggler. I think it could've been hyped more though, especially the Miz and Punk/Cena and Ziggler feuds. Ryder pinning Barrett gives the number one contender a sh*t-ton of potential, but at the same time, it hurt Barrett a lot. Especially since it was clean. Barrett needed the momentum more. A decent episode of RAW, but with the star-powered main event, nothing of note was important this week on RAW's undercard, other than the build for next week's King of the Ring special. I suspect next week's three hour show will be much better, though.

WWE NXT Live: Wednesday 30th May 2012...Ah, the first live episode. Nice. HAHAHAHA, Ricardo Rodriguez is the General Manager of NXT? I like it, it puts Rodriguez in a brilliant new position, with some comedy spots involved as well. Hopefully he can start wrestling matches here too, perhaps. Rodriguez just didn't sound like himself in the opening segment, though. It's too sudden to just have him turn into what appears to be a face authority role after being a heel comical stereotypical manager. NXT has a King of the Ring qualifier? Holy crap. I'm not sure what to think of that, but I know that Kassius Ohno deserved the victory here, but I know for certain that he won't get past the quarter-final round, realistically. It's just too soon for him, and NXT stars have always been portrayed as inferior to WWE on-television talent as far back as Season 1. Could provide Ohno a magnificent new direction though, I like the shake-up to NXT tonight. Hahaha, Ricardo regained his comedy side with Summer Rae in the backstage segment. Get her to start wrestling and losing every week, more hilarity. I wonder how Alberto Del Rio will respond when he returns from injury. Bo Rotundo beating Jake Carter in the Bunkhouse Brawl was nice, it's strange to see this match halfway through the show though; I'd have maybe had it opened with the qualifier here. Talk about a stacked episode of NXT already. A fatal four-way match and now a Bunkhouse Brawl, too. I liked the inclusion from Corey Graves, too. Up next, fantastic long interview with Paige practically introducing her character with different dimensions: innovative booking here. In this segment alone, we know exactly who Paige is. Now give her some wins and a main roster spot. Gold. I could see Paige feuding with Eve into SummerSlam for the WWE Divas Championship. Just don't rush that! And finally, good call with having Damien Sandow become the first NXT Champion against Alex Riley, it was the right decision. I didn't think the confetti was needed for the heel victory, though. Overall, your best episode of NXT to date: rightfully so, being live and broad. My only complaint with this show however, is how the NXT Championship seemed overshadowed by everything else going on. Just a thought. I'd like to see some more WWE Superstars-quality talent on ths show, too. Ezekiel Jackson, Yoshi Tatsu, Trent Barreta, Primo and Epico, etc.

WWE Friday Night SmackDown: Friday 1st June 2012...Welcome to June! Gone pretty quick, I remember replying to your first show like it was the other week. Johnny Curtis got a big win against Ezekiel Jackson, wow. And Curt Hawkins getting a win against Derrick Bateman was fine, not a problem with this episode of WWE Superstars this week. The opening promo with Daniel Bryan was great, talking about Dean Ambrose and Randy Orton. Wow, a triple threat steel-cage match for the World Heavyweight Championship - I care more about this brand's main title than RAW's, which is sort of bad. But I know that you can just level up the WWE Championship scene after No Way Out, at least. We have our legitimate main event for No Way Out booked then, it seems. Hoping that you don't rush the belt onto Ambrose, though. I doubt you will, anyway. Kofi Kingston beating R-Truth was fine, a good call and I could see him and Barrett having a decent feud into SummerSlam, provided that Barrett keeps the title, and Kofi manages to step up in the next couple of weeks. The six-man tag team match was massive, but should've opened the show or been the first-hour main event, me thinks. Good win for Rey Mysterio, Sin Cara and Brodus Clay, but I do think that the WWE Tag Team Champions looked a bit weak here, Ted Dibiase losing the fall. Hoping that Michael McGillicutty and Dibiase can step up in momentum after this. R-Truth and David Otunga with Dr Shelby was funny. Truth loves his wheelchair. Cody Rhodes beating Chris Jericho was nice, but could've done without the clean finish - I sense that with this level of match, that Jericho will come back to cost Cody the King of the Ring tournament this upcoming week on RAW, bringing us into a rematch at No Way Out. Nonetheless, Cody does have a chance of winning the tournament if he can gain a bit more momentum in the upcoming weeks. Ryback killing Jinder Mahal wasn't bad at all, I just hope that that was the end of Drew McIntyre's association with Mahal. I just want Jinder to go away, seriously. Up next, Sheamus beating Heath Slater was obvious, and I hope Slater has an original 3MB in comparison to real life's massive contrast of heel talent. What, no mention of Sheamus being a former King of the Ring winner? Weird. I think Sheamus will win this tournament. I do like the running gag with Sheamus harming Michael Cole in amusing circumstances. And finally, a big tag team main event win for Randy Orton and the Big Show against Antonio Cesaro and Dean Ambrose, although maybe too soon for Show and Cesaro's feud to get the main event focus. A good main event, with a lovely aftermath, making us remember Daniel Bryan is a part of this rivalry. Bryan proposing to AJ was spontaneous though, and should've happened at a later date or different show. It just seemed thrown together here. I hope Ambrose kidnaps AJ at some point. A good episode of SmackDown, and I think SmackDown has superior star talent to RAW in terms of who is in the King of the Ring tournament. A solid, busy week of WWE television, I'm looking forward to reading the King of the Ring special on RAW.

NXT Review

I loved NXT and especially the way you opened the show up with Summer Rae and then Ricardo Rodriguez the new NXT GM coming out and Summer desperately wanting to keep her job only for Ricardo to ask her just why she felt the need to keep her job by asking what was in it for him but then reminding her of all the things she did to help Dusty when he was NXT GM but that so far she has done nothing to prove herself to him and then giving her all the tasks that he has done as Del Rio's personal ring announcer but Summer not wanting to stoop down to that level but then Ricardo firing her was even better only for her to end up keeping her job in the end but getting her chance as an active Diva on the roster but having to face Paige, this is going to be great

Kassius Ohno with another victory, this time beating Alex Riley, Ohno doesn't deserve to be on NXT anymore, he should be on either RAW or Smackdown now considering his showing in the KOTR tournament, not having to lower himself to being a part of this third-rate show

Daniel Bryan and AJ on MizTV, I definitely cannot wait for that

Ricardo making the announcement that Mr. Hollywood himself, Mr. Overrated, John Cena is going to be on NXT, I wonder just what Cena is going to be doing here on NXT, which is like WWE's third-rate show

JTG and Big E Langston beating Sakamoto and Jiro, I thought was a great match, definitely a great one and I love this tag team combination of JTG and Big E

Raquel Diaz, daughter of Vickie Guerrero and the late Eddie Guerrero is going to be on NXT, this is great, comes from a great lineage, her father being a WWE Hall of Famer, her mother being Vickie, and her grandfather being Gory Guerrero, this is in her blood, and I see great things in Raquel's future if she were to change her last name to Guerrero

Summer trying to get back-up in the form of Sofia Cortez and Sofia turning her down, Summer has no help, Paige is going to destroy her next week

Steamboat, Rotundo, and Dalton beating Mason Ryan, Jake Carter and Corey Graves was great

And to end the show with Damien Sandow's celebration, I loved it, only for Rollins to interrupt, and it ending with Rollins with the NXT Championship, something tells me these 2 are going to end up having a match for the NXT Title at No Way Out with an NXT match somehow being on the card

Great episode of NXT and I can't wait until Smackdown

WWE Superstars 6/7 Taping Results
Trent Barreta def. Hunico
Layla def. Maxine[/center]

• After the signature WWE intro, we were taken directly to the arena here in Columbia, where the ring was set up for the second edition of the WWE's newest talk show, Miz TV. Tony Chimel introduced the Miz to a ton of heat from the audience. Miz was met by several "CM Punk" chants, to which he asked his usual question. "Really? Really? CM Punk is not here tonight, and he won't be around for much longer after I deal with him in nine nights inside of a Steel Cage." More boos emerged as Miz couldn't care less about the opinions of the WWE Universe. "And just like me, one of my guests tonight will also be competing in a Steel Cage match at No Way Out. And on top of that, he shocked the entire world last week when he did this." A recap from last week was shown, where Daniel Bryan proposed to AJ Lee. Miz then introduced his two guests for tonight's show, Bryan and AJ. The two made their way out, the boos being directed towards the former World Heavyweight Champion. "Yes!" he shouted uncontrollably as he made his way down to the ring with his fiance. "You know, Daniel, I have to admit something. Two years ago, when I was your pro on NXT, I saw absolutely zero potential in you. But I think it's fitting that someone like myself who spent years proving people wrong, was on the other side for once. You have proven me and many others wrong. Are you still a nerd? Yes. But are you also one of the best athletes in the world today? Yes. Will you reclaim the World Heavyweight Championship at No Way Out against Randy Orton and Dean Ambrose? Yes. And did you make me a believer? Yes!" Miz continuously shouted "Yes!" as Bryan's ego soaked the moment in. "But I didn't come to SmackDown to talk about my personal feelings towards you, or No Way Out. I came to ask one simple question. When's the wedding?" Bryan picked up a microphone, saying that he first wants to make something clear. "Many people out there believe that I proposed to AJ to keep her in my corner. To make sure that I have someone who can help me once again become World Heavyweight Champion. So to those people, are you all dead wrong? Yes! Yes! Yes! I asked AJ to marry me because I truly and deeply love her. And we are proud to announce that the wedding will be held next week right here on SmackDown." Bryan then asked AJ a question of his own. "Sweetie, make this clear to the world. Next week, are you looking forward to becoming Mrs. AJ Lee Bryan?"
  
  
• The audience repeatedly shouted "No!" in an attempt to answer for AJ. Before she could speak for herself, Dean Ambrose's theme hit as he made his way out to the stage. "Why are we wasting time with this debacle. Nobody cares about Daniel Bryan, or AJ, or the Miz. This situation shouldn't even be about a damn wedding! It should be about No Way Out inside of a Steel Cage, where I shock humanity and become the World Heavyweight Champion!" Ambrose received a mixed reaction before telling Bryan that he made a dire mistake by proposing last week. "Daniel, I would have expected the former World Heavyweight Champion to display more traces of a brain than you have. Your focus should not be on a girl who looks like she isn't even old enough to legally be someone's bride. Your focus should be on No Way Out, because let's face it, you have no chance at victory." When Bryan questioned Ambrose, he said that Bryan isn't at the level of his two opponents. "I am the most dangerous man in sports entertainment today. And as much as I despise him, I know Orton comes pretty close to me. While the two of us are busy focusing on the levels of punishment we will extract on one another, you're browsing through cakes and decorations." Before Bryan could get a chance to respond, "Voices" hit as the audience erupted. World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton made his way out to the stage, sharing Ambrose's thoughts. "As much as I hate Dean Ambrose, I can respect someone who, like me, is willing to go the extra mile to bring agonizing pain to an individual. At No Way Out, I know he's not going to hold anything back, and that's what I look forward to. But I don't want to face Daniel Bryan, the husband. I want to face Daniel Bryan, the competitor. The man who gave me the fight of my life at Over The Limit, that's who I want to stand across the ring from when we're locked inside of a Steel Cage." Bryan said that listening to Orton and Ambrose was becoming tedious. "Don't worry about where my focus is, because I can tell that right now, you two are underestimating me. But from what I can tell, there's two sides to this argument. Me and Miz are on the same page, while you two are on the same page. So if you're worried about me focus, I'll prove you two wrong tonight in a tag team match." Orton and Ambrose looked at each other before the two rivals nodded their heads in approval. The audience popped as it looks like we have our main event set for tonight.
  
  
• COMMERCIAL BREAK
  
  
• Returning to SmackDown, a recap of the opening segment was shown as we were given the official confirmation for the main event. World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton and Dean Ambrose will team up to take on Daniel Bryan and the Miz.
  
  
• The theme of Ted DiBiase and Michael McGillicutty hit as the WWE Tag Team Champions made their way out to a chorus of boos. A graphic was shown for the tag team Street Fight at No Way Out, where Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara will receive their final opportunity at the gold. DiBiase said that with their Street Fight coming up un nine nights, they're looking forward to not only putting Mysterio and Cara behind them, but ending their careers in the process. "And as a warm up for next Sunday, we're looking for a fight. So if any team in the back is feeling brave, come down right now and be Mysterio and Cara for the day."
  
  
• NON-TITLE STREET FIGHT - WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS TED DIBIASE AND MICHAEL MCGILLICUTTY DEF. THE USOS: The challenge laid out by the champions was accepted by the Usos, holding their own here in this Street Fight. DiBiase pulled out a trash can from underneath the ring, which had a Rey Mysterio mask inside. He placed the mask over Jey's head before planting him with Dream Street onto the trash can to get the victory.
  
  
• DiBiase and McGillicutty were handed back their WWE Tag Team Championships as they raised them high in the air. However, DiBiase continued the assault on Jey as McGillicutty slid a table into the ring. Before any more damage could be done, Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara hit the ring to make the save. The WWE Tag Team Champions retreated up the ramp as Rey and Cara assisted the Usos, staring down their opponents in nine days at No Way Out.
  
  
• Backstage, Daniel Bryan was shown walking down a corridor when he passed by Kaitlyn, who he felt was looking at him awkwardly. He asked Kaitlyn what her problem was, to which she responded "You think you can just manipulate AJ? Practically forcing her to marry you for the sole purpose of becoming World Heavyweight Champion?" Bryan told Kaitlyn that she couldn't be any more wrong. "Like I said earlier, I proposed to AJ because I love her. This whole idea that everyone has about the World Heavyweight Title being my influence, they're wrong. And I'm glad AJ isn't listening to them, and especially you. Besides, I've received a ton of support from the WWE Universe in regards to the wedding. Johnny Curtis is even allowing me to have my bachelor party in his van. You know how cool you have to be to be invited to Curtis' van?" Kaitlyn said that she gets invites every week, so it's nothing special. "The point I'm trying to make is that you can't keep lying. Sooner of later, the truth will come out. And in the end, you're going to hurt AJ. And do you care? No, no, no." Bryan then asked Kaitlyn if she was jealous. "Do you envy the fact that unlike AJ, you can't have all of this?" said Bryan as Kaitlyn left the scene in disgust.
  
  
• COMMERCIAL BREAK
  
  
• Returning to SmackDown, we were shown footage from Heath Slater's "Band Auditions." The One Man Band sat in an empty auditorium, saying that he's giving the opportunity of a life time. The first superstar who auditioned was Yoshi Tatsu, who tried to play guitar, though he simply plucked the same string repeatedly. "Do you even know how to play?" asked Slater, to which Tatsu shook his head. Hornswoggle auditioned next, attempting to play the drums. He was unable to though, prompting Slater to laugh at him. The Great Khali appeared on the stage to cheer Hornswoggle up, and audition as well. However, he simply broke the drumsticks in half and smashed his fist through the snare drum. Finally, Santino Marella and Derrick Bateman appeared, Bateman playing bongos while Santino recited poetry. "You know this is a band audition, right?" Santino pulled a piece of paper out of his pocket, angrily telling Bateman that he got the wrong address.
  
  
• RYBACK DEF. PRIMO AND EPICO: While Primo and Epico were able to take Ryback to his longest match yet, it was feeding time for the monster as he lifted the former WWE Tag Team Champions up to his shoulders, planting the two of them with Shell Shock to get the victory.
  
  
• The audience popped as Ryback stood to his feet, raising his arms in victory as he stood over the motionless bodies of Primo and Epico. Suddenly, he was attacked from behind by Drew McIntyre and Jinder Mahal. The duo assaulted Ryback as Mahal locked him in he Camel Clutch. The audience roared with "Feed me more!" chants as Ryback powered out of the hold, slamming Mahal's back onto the mat. McIntyre and Mahal both rolled out of the ring as Ryback stared on at them, shouting "Feed me more!" himself.
  
  
• A graphic was shown for the coronation of "King" Cody Rhodes, next on SmackDown!
  
  
• COMMERCIAL BREAK
  
  
• Returning to SmackDown, a recap of the King of the Ring tournament this past Monday was shown, which concluded with Cody Rhodes take his place on the throne as the 2012 King of the Ring winner.
  
  
• Cutting back to the area, the King of the Ring throne was shown in the ring as Tony Chimel introduced the winner of the tournament, Cody Rhodes. The audience showed their disapproval for the new King, though he couldn't care less. He sat in the throne, microphone in the hand as the boos continued. "Not single one of you people's opinions matter. Because I'm sitting here on this throne as your King of the Ring." Cody said that the question as to whether or not he would be victorious in the tournament was actually never a question at all. No one should be surprised at the result, and no one should be surprised of what is to come because of this victory. "WWE Universe, be prepared. A new era is upon us. Because at SummerSlam, I will become the new World Heavyweight Champion." At that moment, Cody's coronation was interrupted by the arrival of Chris Jericho. Y2J stepped into the ring as Cody was livid, saying that he has no business interrupting his coronation. Jericho said that it may be rude of him, but it's not like he cares. "I actually wanted to congratulate you, Cody. Not only on winning the King of the Ring tournament, but on defeating me last week. And last I checked, that makes us even at one victory a piece. And I don't to leave an even record." Cody said that he agrees as well, and knows what Jericho is getting at. "If it's a match at No Way Out that you're asking for, it's one that you will get." Jericho said that while a match at No Way Out is nice, that's not exactly what he was getting at. "No Way Out, that's great. But I want more than that. Because the rubber match between us should have far more at stake. Something valuable. Something extraordinary. Something such as......your SummerSlam title shot." The crowd popped as Cody smirked, telling Jericho that he's out of his mind. "That World Heavyweight Championship match is mine. We will face off one final time at No Way Out, but it will only be that. Our final match, and the second time where I will stand tall over you. I'm not putting my title shot on the line." Jericho told Cody that if he doesn't want to put his SummerSlam title shot on the line, then that's fine. "But I just spoke to Teddy Long, who loved the idea. And I already had it confirmed before I even came out here." The audience popped for the announcement as Cody was livid. Jericho, on the other hand, was all smiles as he gained some enjoyment out of Cody's temper tantrum. Despite winning the King of the Ring tournament, Cody may not be going to SummerSlam as he will put his title opportunity on the line against Chris Jericho at No Way Out.
  
  
• COMMERCIAL BREAK
  
  
• Returning to SmackDown, Cody Rhodes was shown storming down a corridor, in search for Teddy Long. He finally came across his office, marching inside. Cody shouted at Teddy, telling him that it is unacceptable for him to be forced to put his title shot on the line at No Way Out. "You have one win. Jericho has one win. The deciding match should have a little something extra to it, and I was on board with Jericho's idea. The match will happen at No Way Out, and it will be for your SummerSlam title shot."
  
  
• R-TRUTH DEF BIG SHOW VIA COUNTOUT: As Show was gearing up for the Knockout Punch, the theme of Antonio Cesaro hit as the Intercontinental Champion made his way down to ringside. This distracted Show long enough for Truth to jump onto his back, though he was able to get him off. Cesaro climbed onto the ring apron, getting Show's attention again. The World's Largest Athlete swung his fist as Cesaro, though he was able to quickly dodge it. Show chased Cesaro up the ramp as the official neared the ten count. As Show was trying to get into the ring, Cesaro ran down to ringside once again, grabbing his leg to prevent him from meeting the ten count.
  
  
• Cesaro hurried up the entrance ramp as the announcement was made that the Big Show had been counted out. Truth was surprised himself, celebrating his victory. However, his celebration was short lived as he turned around and was met with a Knockout Punch. Show stared down Cesaro, who raised the Intercontinental Championship high in the air on the stage.
  
  
• Backstage, World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton was shown in his locker room, preparing for tonight's tag team main event. Soon, Dean Ambrose walked in. He told Orton that he wants to make something clear for tonight. "Randall, my dream at the moment is for my knee to collide with your skull to the point that portions of your brain eject from your ears. But tonight, we need to do the impossible and form a cohesive unit. Not for the purpose of winning, but to get Daniel Bryan's head straight. His mind is on AJ and the wedding and whatnot, while you and I are focused on what really matters in this situation, and that's the World Heavyweight Championship." Orton told Ambrose that he wants nothing more than to inflict serious, serious punishment on him, but he agrees about tonight. "We get Daniel Bryan back in the zone, and No Way Out will be just how we want it. Brutal, barbaric, and chaotic." Ambrose said that he wouldn't want anything less.
  
  
• COMMERCIAL BREAK
  
  
• Returning from the commercial break, R-Truth was shown backstage being attended to by trainers and David Otunga. He slowly regained his consciousness after being hit with a Knockout Punch from the Big Show moments ago. "Truth, can you hear me?" asked the trainer. "Who's Truth?" asked R-Truth. A confused Otunga told that that's his name. "Who are you?" asked Truth. "....Um....I'm David Otunga." "Nice to meet you!" said Truth as he shook Otunga's hand. Otunga and the trainer stared at Truth as it would appear that the Big Show's Knockout Punch has given him amnesia.
  
  
• TENSAI DEF. EZEKIEL JACKSON Prior to the bout, footage from RAW was shown, where Tensai delivered a Chokebomb to Sheamus through the announce table. Sheamus was not here tonight, leaving Big Zeke to attempt to take down the monster, Tensai. Ezekiel grasped Tensai's neck, trying to choke him out. However, Tensai was able to grab Ezekiel's arm and simply pry it off of his neck. Tensai then planted Ezekiel with a Chokebomb, gaining the victory.
  
  
• Tensai shouted at Ezekiel Jackson as he stood tall in victory. Michael Cole rambled on on commentary, saying that his insurance policy paid off. "Tensai is stronger than ever, and most of all, I no longer have to deal with that Great White joke!"
  
  
• Backstage, Daniel Bryan, The Miz, and AJ Lee were all shown making their way down to the ring. Bryan and Miz meet World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton and Dean Ambrose, next!
  
  
• COMMERCIAL BREAK
  
  
• A promo was shown for No Way Out, live next Sunday, only on pay per view.
  
  
• DANIEL BRYAN AND THE MIZ DEF. WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION RANDY ORTON AND DEAN AMBROSE: A very good main event tag bout here to round things out for SmackDown, nine nights before these four men compete in Steel Cage matches, three of them for the World Heavyweight Championship. As Orton was coiling for the RKO onto Daniel Bryan, Dean Ambrose hit his own partner with a Knee Trembler! The audience showered Ambrose with boos as he stepped to the outside, allowing Daniel Bryan to cover Orton and get the victory.
  
  
• The audience booed as Bryan stood to his feet, hugging the Miz in celebration. "Yes!" he shouted repeatedly as he stood tall over the World Heavyweight Champion, whom he just pinned. Bryan, Miz, and AJ Lee made their way up the entrance ramp, where Bryan and AJ remained. In the ring, Ambrose slid back in as Orton stirred to his feet. He went for another Knee Trembler, but the World Heavyweight Champion dodged it. He and Ambrose traded blows in the ring as Bryan once again did his over the top celebration, realizing how well the situation was going for him. Nine nights before No Way Out, he was able to sit back and watch his two opponents implode as a team. And on top of that, he can also look ahead to next week, where he and AJ Lee will become husband and wife.

Smackdown Review

I definitely loved how you opened up Smackdown with MizTV and then Miz talking about his guest being his former protege the former World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan and how he believed in his former protege in terms of him having what it takes to be champion again only for Bryan to come out with AJ and then the wedding being next week, I can definitely see Bryan standing her up at the altar or completely humiliating her in front of the whole world as he says NO to marrying her but the segment ending with Ambrose interrupting and then Orton and then it ending with a Tag Team Main Event being announced with Orton & Ambrose vs. Miz and Bryan, how is that going to happen if Orton and Ambrose both despise each other to the point where they want to end each other once and for all

The WWE Unified Tag Team Champions DiBiase and Mcgillicutty just seem to be picking up more momentum heading into their Tag Team Street Fight for the WWE Unified Tag Team Championship by beating another multi-generational tag team in The Usos, and just when they are about to inflict even more pain on The Usos after the match, Mysterio and Cara their opponents at No Way Out make the save, I loved this segment

Kaitlyn and Daniel Bryan's backstage segment I also loved a lot too, because she is on to Bryan, and she knows what he is planning to do to her friend AJ and I hope Kaitlyn is able to talk some sense into AJ before the wedding next Friday on Smackdown

The One Man Rock Band auditions to me, this segment I didn't really care for at all, so I am not even going to get into that

Ryback just keeps being dominant as he is dominating Smackdown beating Primo and Epico both simultaneously at the same time in impressive fashion, Ryback is a beast and then out of nowhere Mahal and McIntyre both attack Ryback only for Ryback to turn it around and get the last laugh, I think Ryback's feud with them is far from over

King Cody Rhodes, loved his coronation segment on Smackdown and now that he is King, he has a guaranteed title shot at SummerSlam for the World Heavyweight Championship and then Jericho interrupts him, the audacity, the gall, of all the things for Jericho to do and then afterwards it all ending with a match being made for them at No Way Out but this time with Cody's SummerSlam title shot being on the line, this isn't fair to King Cody at all

Truth with a huge win over Big Show even if it happens to be by count-out, Truth still won but only because the WWE Intercontinental Champion Antonio Cesaro Big Show's opponent at No Way Out got involved in the match distracting Show preventing him from getting back into the ring and then after the match Show knocking out Truth with the WMD, I love it

Cesaro is in a world of trouble at No Way Out especially because there is no way he can give the Neutralizer to Big Show who is almost 500 pounds give or take, no way he can lift Big Show, and no way he walks out as IC Champion, only unless he either gets himself intentionally counted out or intentionally DQ'ed as a way to keep his title, then that's the only way I see him escaping Big Show

Orton and Ambrose backstage segment I also enjoyed a whole lot too because I just love their rivalry so badly and these 2 are just willing to destroy themselves but realize that they have bigger fish to fry like Daniel Bryan so then that way they can focus the match on themselves while Bryan's focus is elsewhere, I smell a rat, I see Ambrose turning on my man Orton or my man Orton turning on Ambrose costing them the match

Truth got hit hard with that WMD, maybe it will finally snap him out of it to the point where he can become a serious R-Truth rather than become a joke, and Lil' Jimmy the whole nonsense behind all of that will be gone and Truth can become The Suntan Superman Ron The Truth Killings his TNA character

Tensai with another win this time beating Big Zeke Ezekiel Jackson, he keeps riding momentum each and every match but I see Sheamus derailing Tensai at No Way Out with their match being added to the card at the last minute

I knew Ambrose was going to turn on Orton, it was too good to be true costing them the match and then Ambrose going to finish off his handi-work only for Orton to come to and realize what is about to happen moves out of the way and then attacks Ambrose evening the score while Bryan is on the ramp watching his 2 opponents at No Way Out destroy one another while he is not having a care in the world as he screams YES over and over again, at No Way Out Bryan is going to be in for a world of hurt

Great Smackdown episode and I can't wait until RAW
